Interesting historical film
In the public mind, the Zeppelin (used as the generic term for lighter-than-air craft) has passed into history. Its heyday is generally thought of as being the First World War, when the airships were used by the Germans in early “terror” raids over English cities. Not only London: my own grandmother (b.1900), who for some reason now unknown had been sent from Berkshire to a boarding school at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, actually saw a Zeppelin over her school, probably in 1916.

It might be a mistake to think that airships have no future. I have always been interested in them as both passenger carriers and for freight carrying to places where transportation is difficult: deep forests, the Siberian taiga, Arctic and Antarctic areas, islands with limited or no port facilities, marshland, swamps etc. Airships could have uses for the police, too. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20191107-how-airships-could-return-to-our-crowded-skies; https://www.cnbc.com/video/2021/02/06/what-happened-to-blimps-and-why-airships-may-make-a-comeback.html

In fact, I do not agree with Hitchens re. Starmer being “deeply revolutionary”. He may well have read and even edited obscure Trotskyist publications when aged 20. Hitchens himself was a Trotskyist at that age, while I, at age 19 and living in a London attic, read, and regularly, everything from the anarchist newspaper Black Flag to the social nationalist magazine, League Review, and many another publication.
You cannot take someone’s views as they were at age 20 as being their settled viewpoints when they are 50, 60, or 70 years old. Keir Starmer may have more radical ideas than Boris Johnson, but for me the difference is that Starmer may actually have a few ideas, however limited, whereas part-Jew chancer, fraud and (ex?) public entertainer “Boris” has no ideas at all, beyond the schoolboy fantasies of bridges over rivers and oceans, artificial islands, tunnels to Ireland etc; the sort of ideas I had when aged about 13.
I wonder why…
Incidentally, that Silverman individual (“Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the Jew-Zionist Israel-lobby “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”), was exposed in open court a few years ago as having been behind a number of pseudonymous Twitter and other trolling accounts. Most of the victims were women. He was also behind a malicious complaint made about me to Essex police (he lives in South Essex) in early 2017: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/.
Their primary, and perhaps only, loyalty is to Israel (whether to the Israeli state as such, or to the Jewish people). At least, that is how it seems to me…”@mlewislawyer” is in fact now resident in Israel.
The monarchy in Britain, like so much else (the System political parties, the Bar, the Church —indeed, churches— etc) is now running on empty.
So much for freedom…

So, “anti-Jewish hatred is surging in Britain, Europe and the USA”, is it? Well, maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with pro-Israel Zionist Jew extremists like you constantly whinging, scurrilously attacking and conducting veritable hate campaigns against people like Corbyn for making mild criticisms about Israel, defending Israel when its armed forces go on a totally unreasonable rampage and shoot small children in the head with live bullets, blow-up innocent Palestinian villagers’ homes even when they haven’t been involved in terrorism, settle their land with illegal settlements and refuse Palestinians the right to return whilst allowing any Jew in Britain or elsewhere to immediately emigrate to Israel under the ‘Law of Return’. In short, attempting to defend the indefensible and then attacking people with the constant smear of ‘anti-semitism’.
People also don’t like the fact that Pro-Israel Zionist extremist Jews/Jewish Supremacists are often to the forefront of so-called ‘anti-racism’ organisations calling people nasty names for often only wanting the most mild restrictions on immigration whilst defending Israel for having very strict immigration laws which, to all intents and purposes , ban non Jews from emigrating there on racial/ethnic grounds. This attitude of pro-Israel Jew Zionist extremists/Jewish Supremacists of ‘nationalism is fine for Israel and for Jewish communities around the world in the Diaspora but NOT for the gentiles in gentile countries really grates on the minds of some gentiles and gets their backs up!

A lot of the alleged ‘anti-Semitism’ is not genuine anti-semitism at all but simply opposition to the excesses of the Zionist state. Gentiles don’t like some sections of organised Jewry too often acting like a ‘nation within a nation’ as well.

As you say, many of Boris’s transport ideas are the ridiculous fantasies of an overgrown schoolboy however that one envisioning a bridge/tunnel between NI and the British mainland may be worth exploring.
Though it might not be technically feasible and cost far too much money a bridge/tunnel carrying a motorway/railway between Liverpool and Belfast could link two important regional economic centres, boost economic growth and help to politically unify the United Kingdom more than it presently is.
There is an interesting page on Wikipedia detailing some plans for fixed links some of which are even more grandiose such as one linking Taiwan with China and another connecting Japan and South Korea.

A bridge/tunnel between the neighbouring island and this one should have been built decades ago. Perhaps if that had been done (though it probably wouldn’t have been feasible then ) the whole of Ireland would still form a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

In Britain with our utterly archaic, overly crude and simplistic First Past The Post electoral system which should be.called Single Member Plurality (SMP) a party can obtain MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of votes and a significant percentage of votes as UKIP did in 2015 ie 12% or so and only get ONE MP (and that seat in Clacton was only around 3,000 votes from being lost to the Tory candidate).
This effective informal ‘threshold of non representation or very little representation’ in our system can be MUCH higher than a formal (by law) threshold of 8% or the more usual 5 or 4% of PR systems like in Germany,New Zealand, Sweden.
Thus, MILLIONS of votes are ‘wasted’ by securing NO or very few MPs.

Perhaps we need to have a Penal Code and/or statutory minimums for certain offences? Of course, I recognise the need for judges to be able to exercise discretion in sentencing and to take account of offenders individual circumstances ie past criminal behaviour if any/previous good character as otherwise justice may not happen and having discretion is the role of a judge but there is often a lack of consistency in sentences and that doesn’t help to provide effective deterrents to potential offenders. Also, some judges nowadays are too liberal and give the offender the benefit of the doubt too often.

That by-election has flown under the radar but is potentially of more long term interest for electoral trends.
Will the Liberal Democrats be able to come back from a near death experience and win the seat like they did in Eastbourne in October 1990?
