Incidentally, I am told by a reader of this blog that The Times has printed some kind of report about my recent trial. I refuse to pay even a small amount in order read the sort of rubbish put out by the contemporary “British” newspapers, so I do not know exactly what is the content of that report (I can guess, pretty much, anyway), but what strikes me is that it has apparently only appeared today, five days after the trial itself. Hardly “breaking news”.
I wonder what will happen with the newspapers in the UK. Several years ago, Rupert Murdoch gave the paper versions of newspapers only until about 2025 to survive, and certainly one rarely sees anyone buying a newspaper these days. I occasionally see an elderly person (always elderly, meaning 70+ if not 80+) buying a newspaper in Waitrose; not so often though.
The quality of journalistic language, let alone analysis, has fallen through the floor despite (?) the now almost exclusively graduate entry. Poor English, and little background knowledge, are patent.
I read somewhere that newspapers are still functioning because the online versions both take subscriptions, and make money out of advertisements; also, the mainly young “journalist” scribblers are paid very modestly. The only highly-paid scribblers now are the “celebrity” columnists, or so I read.
I myself last bought a newspaper about 25 years ago.
Hunt and Sunak had little choice, politically. Opinion polling puts the Conservative Party on about 20% for the 2024 General Election. Most of that consists of State Pensioners. Without the pensioner vote, the Conservative Party is toast. It may be that it is anyway, but being seen to pander a bit to the most obvious interest of those over 65 is a desperate way to shore up, at least to some extent, that core vote.
Incidentally, using Electoral Calculus, the difference between (A) a 20% vote and (B) a 15% vote is (A) 57 Conservative MPs (Lab 508) and (B) 19 Conservative MPs (Lab 541).
Were the Con Party able to rise to a support-level of 25%, the result might be 125 Con MPs (Lab 452); on 30%, 219 Con MPs (Lab 360).

For Sunak and Hunt, the (for now) retention of the Triple Lock is a no-brainer, of course. However, it will not save them. The best they can hope for, I think, is a hard defeat next year. It is an open question whether that defeat will prove almost, or actually, existential.

I see that the American actress, Susan Sarandon, has been effectively blacklisted by Hollywood now after she made a few remarks at a pro-Palestinian rally that were deemed to be ‘anti-semitic’.
Some people allege that ‘Tinsel Town’ is controlled by Zionist/Jewish Supremacist Jews whilst others dismiss this as being yet another ludicrous ‘anti-semitic canard’.
I wonder which theory is more right?

The fake anti-British, libertarian globalist, poor people hating, pro open borders, soft on real criminals, Conservative Party has no widespread appeal and relies upon a small base of prosperous and often wealthy old people (some of whom are no doubt dim witted enough to believe Churchill is still leading the party instead of that strange, brown, Zionist fanatic, Indian dwarf) to get any real support.
The last poll I saw on the subject indicated that the once mighty Conservative Party has derisory support amongst young people and even less now than under Cameron and that was pretty low!

I despise what Labour now is, but people, some/many people are desperate for, not so much a change as for a chance. A chance for a better life and a better society. Unconsciously, the people want some form of social national ideology (and policy) but the “you-know-who” element jumps on anything and anyone of that sort (as of course in my own case).
Labour will win by default, not because most people want it or eagerly vote for it.

I despise both parties for their virulent anti-British globalist values and I especially despise the ‘modern’ Conservative Party which can now justifiably be called evil on account of its increasingly naked hatred towards the poor and disabled .
Of course, they were called that before by the Left and for that reason but even Mrs Thatcher would never have stooped to the despicable hatred they show nowdays towards that section of society.
And they really wonder why the admittedly excitable Left go to their party conferences and display hangman’s ropes?
They bring that on themselves.
Their unhinged hatred towards the poor and disabled is NOT a patriotic value.
Infact, it is the very opposite of true patriotism. A real patriot would want to see genuine opportunity and chances in life for the poor and most vulnerable as that means a society can be truely at ease with itself and the country will be morally enriched and become genuinely stronger.
A decent, proud, genuinely strong country doesn’t have a government department like the DWP victimising people and making their lives so hellish that too many are driven to suicide.
The despicable, unpatriotic, globalist Tories have enabled and strengthened that persecution they inherited from New Labour.

Yes, that would be a part of the explanation but only a part. There are plenty of British Gentiles who think like that too and are behind it.
Sometimes it amounts to envy of Germany. They have done well since the war for the most part. One reason for that could be they have collaborative governments based upon coalitions where various parties work together instead of engaging in childish, unproductive political games and ‘yah boo’ politics like Tory and Labour pricks do.
It isn’t unknown for there to be ‘grand coalitions’ formed by their equivalents of Tory and Labour ie the CDU/CSU and SPD.
We actually designed their pretty good electoral system for them:

My wife just told me that Cameron became a baron which entitles him to a seat in the House of Lords. I checked that and the useless creature was made “Baron Cameron of Chipping Norton” Talk about “titles for the boys”!
A long time ago (200 years ago) titles were given by meritorious services, mostly on the battlefield; even then many went to incompetent generals who did not deserve them (like Douglas Haig). However the corrupt practice of giving away titles (started in earnest by Edward VII) out of friendship or as a reward for “favours” is outrageous.
