Stray thoughts
Several aspects of the initial Hamas attack on southern Israel last month struck me at the time and thereafter. First, the fact that the Gazan forces were able to plan and carry out such an operation at all. Secondly, that they were able to keep up what seems to have been complete operational security until “D-Day”. Thirdly, that it took Israeli Army forces 12 hours to arrive.
Israel is a kind of armed camp. Most citizens are liable for full-time or reserve service, Israel spends over 5% of GDP on military activity, and it is constantly on alert, yet here we see that there was a large-scale incursion at a known flashpoint (the Gaza border region), and it took Israeli forces 12 hours to respond effectively.
The relatively short distances also make that response time seem long; Tel Aviv itself is only 44 miles from the Gaza northern border, and perhaps another 10-20 miles to the scenes of attack.
There have been “conspiracy theories” asking whether this was a “Pearl Harbor”, i.e. did the Israeli Government know in advance, but allow the attack to happen, in order to have an excuse to reduce Gaza to rubble and destroy both Hamas and much of the population?
That theory sounds monstrous and also unlikely, but it cannot be ruled out, especially with factors such as the offshore oil.
I suppose that history will judge.

I remain surprised that no-one at all has taken action directe against Cameron-Levita, Osborne, Dunce Duncan Smith or others in the Con Coalition of 2010-2015, but there it is…English/British people tend to be rather tolerant and long-suffering. Many of the guilty go unpunished.
“Instead of monitoring actual terrorists, the UK’s shadowy disinformation units, in liaison with the intelligence agencies and Big Tech, monitored people like me.
My “crime” on one occasion was saying that “children have wonderful immune systems” and that “I have a legal duty to safeguard children against harm”.
At the same time, psychological nudge units were employed by the UK government to encourage the public to view anyone who questioned the government as an extremist.
Members of the public, who had been evangelized by the now debunked “safe and effective” mantra, set about hunting down those who questioned government pandemic policy. Often reporting them to their employers and unleashing what I have described as Britain’s unofficial social credit system.
In other words, seeking to punish them via the complaints process and cancel culture. This Chinese Communist style censorship, and resulting self-censorship by vast numbers of the population, allowed ever more extreme policies to go unchallenged and unchecked.
For example, the government announcing that a child would not require parental consent to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Or the government ignoring the advice of the JCVI and pushing ahead with the rollout for children.
It is hardly surprising that there are increasing reports of traditional terrorists and radicalised behaviour within the UK. While the likes of the 77th Brigade were all eyes on British citizens who were critical of government Covid policy, they were all eyes off the real terrorists and threats to our national security.
If the @covidinquiryuk is to be worth the eye watering cost it will eventually rack up, it must address the egregious way the State went about silencing dissenting voices during the pandemic.”
Sobering.
Sunak, the Indian money-juggler, is just another Israel puppet or “monkey-on-a-stick”.

Eva Vlaardingerbroek, you are hardly in a position to criticise that baby decision in my country when libertarian extremists such as you wanted to effectively murder thousands/hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people during a worldwide viral pandemic because of your selfish desire for ‘freedom’ at all times.
My country is very degenerate nowadays and this story amongst many others proves it (the baleful influence of libertarians has contributed in a significant way to growing degenerate behaviour). However, look at your own country!
The Netherlands is one of Europe’s, if not the world’s, most degenerate countries thanks to things like soft drug laws which has led to a Dutch police union calling your country an effective ‘narcotics state’. Now, that silly libertarianism is not just degenerate but EVIL in that thousands of people have died from drug abuse needlessly.
Moral and non degenerate Singapore, on the other hand, doesn’t mollycoddle drug dealers, it HANGS them or imprisons them for very significant time periods.

WHAT positives, Jeremy Quinn? Austerity which killed thousands? Non controlled immigration despite the fact Cameron himself promised in 2010 to “get it down to the low tens of thousands”? Police officers not only not released from the previous Labour government’s insane levels of poltical correctness but SACKED in their thousands including the more non PC and experienced ones and their stations closed?
God knows how much money wasted on a pointless referendum on the NON PR Alternative Vote instead of one on Proportional Representation which as any political dullard will tell you the LACK of PROPORTIONALALITY in our current system has been the issue since the 1980’s NOT the fact it doesn’t give people a PREFERENCE vote.
David Cameron is a globalist, open borders supporting liberal as are you, I suspect, which is one very significant reason as to why you lot are heading for a truely calamitous election result next year which might be existential for your party.
If you contemptuously dismiss or belittle the concerns of people most likely to gravitate towards voting Tory for 13 years then don’t be surprised that an eventual comeuppance at the polls will materise.

I was looking at the “readers’ comments” in the Daily Mail, surely the numerical bedrock of the Conservative Party, until now at least. die-hard Con voters all either abstaining or going to protest-vote (for “Reform”, mostly).
I think that the Con vote at the 2024 GE will be almost entirely habit-voters aged 70+ who cannot imagine voting elsewhere (or abstaining). I would put them at about 20% of the national vote, heavily concentrated in the South of England.
Incidentally, I have been amused by the way the fanatical Jews such as those in the fake “charity”, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, put all their eggs in the Suella Braverman basket, only to see the mongrel binned and unlikely ever to “grace” the table of the Cabinet Room again.

The fanatical Zionist Jews of the so-called Campaign Against Anti-Semitism (in reality, the Campaign FOR Pro Israel Zionist extremism) have James Cleverly in position even though he is far too dim to realise why he is pro Israel.
The MP with the most inappropriate surname in the House of Traitors, degenerate drug snorters (stand-up Michael Gove) ect in a government department which absolutely requires the Secretary of State to be competent!
What a completely sick joke!

Yes, the Tory vote will be pared back to elderly, mostly prosperous or even actually wealthy homeowners in the South of England.
Everyone else will vote Labour, Green, Lib Dem, SNP, Plaid, Reform or abstain.
The Tory Party is so low in the polls they are very near the ‘tipping point’ in the archaic fraud of First Past The Post where you start to lose many seats albeit by narrow margins of one hundred votes there, five hundred votes in another constituency as your national vote share is too low and consequently becomes too thinly spread across the country.

If, as seems possible, the Con Party goes down to 100, or even lower, to 50 seats, it is hard to see an easy way back for them. Even in 1997, they retained 165. In 1945, they retained 189.
100 seats would be an historic low. 50— what can one say? That is or was LibDem or Liberal territory.

If they were to lose enough seats to go down to one hundred and fifty or less then, yes, recovery becomes difficult. If their total number of held constituencies were around the one hundred mark they would become an effective ‘zombie party’ ie not dead but not showing real signs of life either.
In 1997, they got their lowest national vote share since the Great Reform Act of 1832 and only a slightly higher number of seats than the worst landslide defeat of 1906 which was 157.

I wouldn’t be particularly surprised if the Zionist entity’s government knew in advance there was going to be terrorist attacks by Hamas.
The government in Tel Aviv is, in contrast to how stupid loony lefties here characterise our present government or even governments in Europe, a REAL ‘far right’ administration that does seem to have the aim of further ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Zionists have no problem betraying the best interests of their ‘own’ people in order to serve a higher Zionist interest eg Zionists have been known to scrawl Nazi symbols on Jewish graveyard headstones then blame incidents on the ‘far right’ in order to scare Jews into believing there is a rising tide of ‘anti-semitism’ so they then emigrate to the Zionist state thus strengthening it.

The unelected and completely out of touch with ordinary people Indian money juggler’s reshuffle has, unsurprisingly, not done his party much good. On Wikipedia’s page detailing the latest polling, the Tories have sunk to 19%. Admittedly, this particular opinion poll was done by People Polling and the client was GB News so it needs to be taken with a large pinch of salt but still.
The trend of opinion polls since he took over have not been impressive in that the party still can’t get consistently to 30% or more.
A material sea change in the figures is needed and TIME IS RUNNING OUT RAPIDLY now. When are Tory MPs going to do what needs to be done?
