Rochdale by-election

I blogged about the by-election a few days ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/02/25/diary-blog-25-february-2024-including-a-look-at-the-upcoming-rochdale-by-election/.

The latest from the bookmakers is that George Galloway (Workers Party) is odds-on to win, followed by (around 6/4) Azhar Ali, the former Labour candidate disowned by Starmer, Azhar Ali therefore being an independent candidate in reality, though “Labour” on the ballot paper. The next in line is the LibDem, trailing the frontrunners at about 65/1. Reform UK (Simon Danczuk) is at 100/1. The rest of the field of 11— 1,000/1.

This is now between Galloway and “Labour” Azhar Ali. Former Labour MP Danczuk only got 1.8% (as Independent) in 2017, after having been sacked. The LibDem may do better than expected, being a white man and alternative to Ali and also to Scotsman George Galloway, whose campaign has been all about Gaza, and whose voters are (90%+) Muslims. Still, if I had to bet, I would probably go with the perceived favourite, Galloway.

The by-election is between two candidates trying to capture the Pakistani Muslim vote. Where do the English voters go? They are still the majority in the constituency, numerically, yet have been frozen out.

Symptomatic of System politics in the UK?

I have no sympathy for Danczuk, and little for Reform UK, but will be interested to see how they go. Had Reform UK put up a better candidate, it might have gone close. As it is, I daresay that the white (English) vote will be split several ways.

Israel declares war on “antisemitism” and “anti-Semites”

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-789439

“Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikii said that “the time has come to move from the defensive to the offensive, and to ensure that the perpetrators of anti-Semitism are identified and dealt with.

“The time has come to move from the defensive to the offensive and to ensure that the perpetrators of antisemitism are identified and dealt with,” Chikli said.

The initiative will include a push for a government proclamation to improve Israel’s global standing and legislation to target organizations, including NGOs, and individuals engaged in antisemitism.“

[Jerusalem Post]

Well, there it is. “They” want a war, and are about to launch one.

In fact, Israel already targets (via local volunteers in the UK and elsewhere) anyone opposed to Jewish/Zionist global domination.

I myself am due to be sentenced next month, following my conviction in November 2023 for political “offences” under the notorious “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127 (recommended for repeal by the Law Commission).

What the Israelis are saying about why the Israeli response on 7 October 2023 was at first very slow, and then incompetent (killing Israeli civilians indiscriminately).

Needless to say, the “Pearl Harbor” idea, i.e. that the Israeli leadership knew of the attack plan but allowed it to happen in order to be able to flatten Gaza with a figleaf of justification, is not mooted.

1956. The year of my birth in present incarnation.

A very important message still not understood by some people.

One cannot simply dismiss that tweet as “a woman scorned”; the kind of dishonesty alleged destroys (if proven) hope for social nationalism, destroys trust.

Not that it matters in terms of realities, though. “Britain First” has no chance anyway, whether at Rochdale or anywhere else.

True, but I seem to recall that Jayda Fransen was pro-Israel not so very long ago…: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2020/09/11/diary-blog-11-september-2020-including-a-few-notes-about-jayda-fransen-and-her-new-british-freedom-party/.

I was unaware that that bastard Pollard was still alive.

I wonder how many Jews there are in, e.g. the Security Service/MI5 and SIS? Some, for sure. Where lie their loyalties? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Pollard.

Pollard was granted Israeli citizenship while incarcerated. He relocated to Israel in 2020.

I suppose that the Israelis thought that they owed Pollard something. After all, when he desperately appealed to the Israeli Embassy in Washington —when the FBI was on his tail— the Israeli Embassy guards were ordered to shut the gates and not let him back in. He was then immediately arrested by the FBI. He did 30 years in Federal custody, altogether (inc. 2 years of pre-trial detention).

Quite right.

More from the global police state

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-justice-minister-defends-house-arrest-power-for-people-feared-to

“[Canadian] Justice Minister Arif Virani has defended a new power in the online harms bill to impose house arrest on someone who is feared to commit a hate crime in the future – even if they have not yet done so already.

The person could be made to wear an electronic tag, if the attorney-general requests it, or ordered by a judge to remain at home, the bill says.

Bill C-63 is designed to curb the proliferation of hate online, but it also establishes a new hate-crime offence, which would carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

Mr. Virani said the hate-crime offence would only be applied if coupled with another crime and the life sentence would only apply in the most serious of cases – not, for example, for mischief to a garage door.

Mr. Virani said the current bill followed studies of the experiences of other countries, including Britain, France and Germany, which have produced similar legislation. Some have had to reverse course after challenges and criticism.

Since it was published on Monday, some lawyers and constitutional experts have raised fears that Bill C-63 could chill free speech.

The bill would allow people to file complaints to the Canadian Human Rights Commission over what they perceive as hate speech online – including, for example, off-colour jokes by comedians. People found guilty of posting hate speech could have to pay victims up to $20,000 in compensation.

But experts including internet law professor Michael Geist have said even a threat of a civil complaint – with a lower burden of proof than a court of law – and a fine could have a chilling effect on freedom of expression.“

[The Globe and Mail]

Look at what has happened in the UK. Material (comments, cartoons) are supposed to fall into unlawfulness only if “grossly” offensive. In theory, remarks, cartoons merely “offensive” are not unlawful, but in practice one finds (as in my own case last November) that once the police, CPS and courts think that XYZ is “offensive”, then XYZ becomes, almost automatically, “grossly offensive“, and the maker is then convicted accordingly (as I was).

Free speech has then been further chilled, or killed…

Canada is asking for something akin to civil war by enacting tyrannical laws of this sort.

All “three main parties” (System parties) and their msm offshoots have, in the American phrase, “bet the farm” on the happy shiny “multikulti society”, the outward face of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. The only thing is— it does not work (not in the way presented, and the European public are not supposed to see the real plan, i.e. a mixed-race population ruled undemocratically —and largely by Jews and part-Jews— i.e. a new pseudo-European “elite” but also tied up with the old elites via money).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan [but be aware that Jew-Zionist groups such as the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] have for some time been asking for volunteers to work with them, using their individual Wikipedia accounts to “edit” (vandalize) Wikipedia articles on a number of historical, political, and philosophical topics].

Dale used to “block” me when I had a Twitter account (until 2018, when a pack of Jews cobbled together faked complaints about me); he also tweeted against me a few times. A very unpleasant individual, completely in the pocket of the Israel lobby.

They may have to run (as they once did in Northern Iraq/Kurdistan) before very long. If they do, their protegees will have to run with them, or get caught (as the unfortunate Kurds were on that previous occasion; the CIA and USA generally left the Kurds to be slaughtered by Saddam Hussein).

“What goes around comes around“, even if the attack filmed is only a tiny fraction as powerful as the Israeli attacks on Gaza.

“Did you know that Bill Gates’ primary residence in Seattle boasts 7 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a 60-foot pool with an underwater music system, a 2,500-square-foot gym, a 1,000-square-foot dining room, six kitchens, and a trampoline room with a 20-foot ceiling?

And let’s not forget the 2,100-square-foot library, a home theater that seats up to 20 guests, and a massive 300-square-foot reception hall with room for 200 guests. And there’s also a spacious guesthouse, a garage that fits 23 cars, and an artificial stream stocked with fish. Depending on the source, its value is estimated at $127 to $170 million. But wait, there’s more!

Gates also owns homes in Del Mar, California at sea level ($43 million), Indian Wells, California ($12.5 million), Wellington, Florida ($8.7 million), and a ranch in Wyoming ($8.9 million). A fun little tidbit about his Florida property: In 2016, he paid $13.5 million for the neighboring house. Rumor has it he’s also bought four other properties on the same street, making him the sole resident of the entire block.

While Bill doesn’t own a mega-yacht, he regularly charters them for his vacations. He also has a penchant for spending big on luxury cars, and let’s not forget his four private jets. In interviews, he’s mentioned that purchasing private jets is his “guilty pleasure.”

Now, isn’t it ironic that one of the main proponents of reducing our carbon footprint lives like this? With such an expansive estate and luxurious lifestyle, we can’t help but wonder how much his own carbon footprint is ballooning. If the people who are urging us to reduce our carbon footprints are living lives of excess, how can we trust their motivations and the validity of their claims about man-made climate change?“

Possibly a one-sided view, but valid on its own merits.

I had not previously heard of this person or of his crimes. It does beg the questions around Nature v. Nurture, in that the subject had been brutalized from an early age, firstly by his own parents, then by the juvenile “reform” system, then by other experiences, and finally by the state and Federal adult prison systems.

In other words, someone evidently monstrous, but at the same time someone made monstrous, arguably. It would be interesting to compare the life-stories of his several siblings.

If a black hits a white, especially a white woman, the penalty should be… [COMMENT REDACTED BECAUSE THERE IS NO LONGER ANY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IN THE UK]…

I have a shrewd idea (or maybe not so shrewd— we shall see…) that “30p Lee” Anderson may have jettisoned the Conservative Party rather than the other way around. After all, the Con Party is staring down the barrel of an electoral meltdown which may finish off arguably the longest-surviving political party in the world.

The Conservative Party was looking at quite likely defeat in Anderson’s constituency, but now maybe not (if Anderson is reinstated). If Anderson is not reinstated, he may well be able to stay on as MP either as an Independent or, more likely, after having stood as Reform Party candidate. He now has real national profile.

I blogged about this a few days ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/02/24/diary-blog-24-february-2024-2/: see below…

“Lee Anderson, and Ashfield (Derbyshire)

The maverick MP has been suspended from being under the Conservative Party whip.

Naturally, I do not agree with his statement that London is “run by Muslims”. Sadiq Khan is from a Muslim background, but has been pretty much in the Jew-Zionist pocket for many years.

It would be more accurate to characterize Sadiq Khan as “anti-white”.

As to Anderson himself, I suggest that he is trying to bolster his position vis a vis the General Election expected later this year.

Until 2019, Ashfield had always been won by Labour since its inception in 1955, with one closely-run by-electoral exception in 1977. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashfield_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s. “New Labour” and Gloria de Piero changed all that.

David Marquand, a former MP for Ashfield (1966-1977; he is still alive, at 89): “Originally a tentative supporter of Blair’s New Labour, he has since become a trenchant critic, arguing that “New Labour has ‘modernised’ the social-democratic tradition out of all recognition”, even while retaining the over-centralisation and disdain for the radical intelligentsia of the old “Labourite” tradition.” [Wikipedia]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Marquand.

Marquand defected to the SDP and then was honourable enough to step down as MP, not contesting the by-election.

In fact, Marquand was himself rather intellectual:

“Marquand addressed Britain’s relative economic decline in The Unprincipled Society (1988) and The New Reckoning (1997). He argued that this decline was caused by Britain’s failure to become a developmental state like France, Germany and Japan. In those countries state intervention had encouraged industrial development and had facilitated the necessary adjustments to competition. Britain, however, was wedded to an economic liberalism which prevented the state from undertaking the necessary measures to meet the country’s developmental needs.[7] In The New Reckoning Marquand claimed: “The economies that have succeeded more spectacularly have been those fostered by developmental states, where public power, acting in concert with private interest, has induced market forces to flow in the desired direction”.[8]” [Wikipedia].

In fact, Ashfield is not quite as “safe Labour” as the history might suggest superficially. Gloria de Piero won in 2010 by a majority of under half a point (0.4%, 192 votes) from a LibDem.

While de Piero’s majority increased in 2015 (as the LibDems imploded), in 2017 she beat the Conservative candidate by less than one point (0.9%, 441 votes). An Ashfield Independent came third with over 9% of the vote.

In 2019, Lee Anderson won convincingly: 39.3% of the vote, followed in second (27.6%) by another “Ashfield Independent”, Jason Zadrozny [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Zadrozny], who has had a chequered political and personal history. In third place came Labour, with only 24.4%.

Zadrozny is going to contest the seat at GE 2024.

So far, apart from Anderson (who may or may not be standing as Conservative Party candidate, depending on whether he gets back the Conservative whip), only the Ashfield Independent and Reform UK are presently known to be likely to stand at GE 2024, but a full field is almost guaranteed. There may be a dozen or more candidates.

At first, I thought that Anderson could probably be written off as post-GE 2024 MP, but now am not so sure. He has now (whether by design or not) distanced himself from the unpopular Conservative leadership —and possibly from the equally-unpopular Conservative Party— is anti-EU, anti-migration invasion etc, and is now known nationwide. He must have at least a chance of retaining his seat. If he does, and if he also retains it as a “Conservative” MP, he might be one of 100 or even as few as 50 such MPs. Who knows what might then happen?“

[from this blog on a previous day].

It may be that Anderson would be better off electorally standing either for Reform UK or as Independent than he would be as a Conservative Party candidate. Voters like “celebrity”; look at how Caroline Lucas has built up her constituency vote at Brighton Pavilion over the years, and that despite Green Party candidates elsewhere generally losing their deposits with votes under 5%.

He is being sentenced on Friday. There is a chance he will get a custodial sentence, but there is also the possibility he won’t. We are preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. It’s a weird feeling right now because we don’t know whether this will be our last week together for a while, but despite this Sam is in a good place. When you can hold your head up high and honestly say your intentions were good, and when you have the truth on your side, you can take whatever is thrown at you.

Sam has recorded a video that will be uploaded after Friday, sharing his thoughts and a message for you all. If he gets a custodial sentence, that will be how he speaks. If he walks away a free man, he will be able to post again.

Pictures are from last week when we went away for a few nights as a family and it was really lovely to spend that time together.“

“In a 1931 interview with a Leipzig newspaper editor, Adolf Hitler made a passionate declaration of the true significance of his National Socialist movement:

“The Frenchman Gobineau and the Englishman Chamberlain were inspired by our concept of a new order-a new order, I tell you, or if you prefer, an ideological glimpse into history in accordance with the basic principle of the blood.

We do not judge by merely artistic or military standards or even by purely scientific ones. We judge by the spiritual energy which a people is capable of putting forth, which will enable it in ten years to recapture what it has lost in a thousand years of warfare.

I intend to set up a thousand year Reich and anyone who supports me in battle is a fellow-fighter for a unique spiritual-I would almost say divine-creation.

At the decisive moment the decisive factor is not the ratio of strength but the spiritual force employed. Betrayal of the nation is possible even when no crime has been committed, in other words when a historical mission has not been fulfilled.”

NWO/ZOG cretin.

Another idiot. He has no idea of what he is saying. Meaningless verbiage.

I can agree with some, perhaps much, of what is written by Matt Goodwin, but he sees the threat to Western civilization as coming only from radical Islamism. He misses out several other basically “ethnic” threats— the Jew-Zionist influence and control, embedded within “Western” power structures; the non-Muslim black/brown influxes (and consequent emergence of mixed-race populations within Europe); also, the outwardly peaceful Chinese population influx.

In relation to the last-mentioned, I cannot do better than to quote the famous maxim of Sun Tzu: “to win without war, this is the supreme excellence” [Sun Tzu, The Art of War]. Peking (Beijing) is playing a long game, as always.

The multi-headed threat is a major reason why the West is losing.

Matt Goodwin’s material is a classic example: he concentrates on only one of several threats (extreme Islamism, given strength by the Muslim part of the migration-invasion of Europe).

Goodwin scarcely recognises the other ethnic-centred threats to our culture and civilization and, when it comes to the Jewish/Zionist element, vociferously supports it!

“EU Fear of Russia Degenerates into War Weariness – Bloomberg…

The protests of farmers in Europe, which erupted in the third year of the Ukrainian conflict, serve as a clear illustration of the fact that Kyiv’s Western allies are exhausted by military actions and their consequences, writes a Bloomberg columnist.

As the journalist reminds, the French government eventually managed to reassure its farmers by promising to protect them from Ukrainian imports. Chicken producers were especially afraid of eastern competitors, claiming that Ukrainian chicken was imported in huge volumes, it was extremely difficult to track, and the income from its sales enriched large corporations.

French President Emmanuel Macron this month even “pointed his finger” at the Ukrainian “chicken tycoon” Yuriy Kosyuk, owner of the MHP holding – the French leader warned that Paris “is not interested in enriching this man.”

The dissatisfaction of farmers may seem like a side problem to some – especially against the backdrop of difficulties with the bill on the allocation of additional aid to Kiev, which is stuck in the US Congress – but in fact it demonstrates well “how the Europeans, who, against the backdrop of stagnation in the economy and the prospects for the return of Donald Trump, are not very inclined to be heroic, fear of Russia degenerates into war fatigue.”

Diary Blog, 25 February 2024, including a look at the upcoming Rochdale by-election

22 Comments

[VDNKh, Moscow]

Rochdale by-election

The by-election is to be held on Thursday 29 February 2024. It has been described as “the most radioactive byelection in living memory“: see https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/24/a-total-total-disaster-galloway-and-danczuk-line-up-for-rochdale-push.

Of the 11 candidates, 4 could be described as Independent. There is a Green, and also a Monster Raving Loony.

Of the 5 more or less serious candidates, the LibLabCon “uniparty” has candidates, and then there is the egregious George Galloway [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway], this time under the banner of the Workers Party, and also Reform UK, represented by Simon Danczuk [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Danczuk], the one-time Labour MP who was a perennial tabloid newspaper story 2010-2017 (along with his seemingly lobotomized then wife, Karen).

The by-election is complicated by the fact that Azhar Ali, the Labour candidate on the ballot paper, was suspended and disowned by Labour for having speculated that Israel may have been involved in the attack on its own citizens in October 2023, a “conspiracy theory” which at first blush seems mad, but less mad when you look at it. A possible “Pearl Harbor” scenario, in which the Israeli leadership may have allowed the Hamas attack from Gaza to take place in order to be able to destroy and then resettle Gaza with Jews.

Leaving that aside, Ali is still a candidate and still, on paper, “Labour”. Indeed, it is possible that, despite all the publicity, quite a few voters will remain unaware that Labour has disowned him; they may vote for him on that basis.

Having said that, Ali will not be Labour’s candidate at GE 2024, so even if he were to be elected this Thursday, he would only be an MP for a few months. That will obviously harm his chances.

It comes as a slight shock to see that George Galloway is only two years older than me. I thought about 10 years or more. He is now 69.

Galloway is far and away the most interesting candidate on the by-election roster. You only have to look at his Wikipedia entry. Indeed, apart from sleazy Danczuk, Galloway is the only candidate at Rochdale who is noted on Wikipedia.

Galloway started as a Labour MP, and has travelled through other parties and profiles to get here, but his anti-Zionism has remained a constant.

An ideologue of sorts, Galloway is not exactly on the same ideological page as me (and he blocked me on Twitter when I still had an account, i.e. up to 2018). He is interested in money, though he plays that down. His net worth is probably in the millions —though I concede that that is a guess— and his income from all sources in recent years has on occasion exceeded £500,000 a year. His RT (Russia Today) show has been sunk by sanctions, but his online broadcasting etc must still bring in a very good sum.

The Workers Party of Britain [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers_Party_of_Britain] was founded by Galloway himself in 2019, and so far has had no electoral success, though Galloway himself achieved a notable third place at the Batley and Spen by-election in 2021— nearly 22% of the vote.

Other well-known members of the Workers Party include former Arabist diplomat and ambassador Peter Ford [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Ford_(diplomat)], and former Labour MP Chris Williamson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Williamson_(politician)], now a broadcaster on the English-language Iranian channel Press TV. Williamson occasionally retweeted my tweets when I had a Twitter account, though he later and foolishly “blocked” me (like Galloway).

Reform UK must be mad to have allowed Danczuk to be their candidate at Rochdale. He was MP for the constituency from 2010 to 2017, and at peak (2015), under Labour banner, was voted for by 46.1% of the voters who voted, but in 2017 achieved only 1.8% as Independent, once chucked out of Labour. Since then, he has been dumped by Karen Danczuk (or vice-versa), and has married for the third time, to an African from Rwanda.

I should have thought that Reform UK would have selected a candidate of real weight at this interesting by-election, but no…

The constituency is riven by division on racial, ethnic, cultural and religious lines. Also, by the aftermath of the Pakistani “grooming gangs” scandal (sex abuse of white English girls). Further back, there was the scandal of Cyril Smith [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_Smith].

I rule out as serious contenders the Monster Raving Loony, the 4 Independents, the Green (who, though still on the ballot paper, has also been disowned by his party for “antisemitism”, and has withdrawn), and (probably) Danczuk/Reform UK.

That leaves Galloway/ Workers Party, Azhar Ali/”Labour”, the LibDem and the Conservative.

In the past, pre-2015, Rochdale was contended for by Labour and the LibDems and, before that, the old Liberal Party. The LibDems fell into 4th place in 2015, after the “Con Coalition” of 2010–2015.

There have been fairly good showings by UKIP and Brexit Party in the past decade, but nothing earth-shattering. Reform UK might have done better, but surely not with Danczuk as the candidate. That’s my view, anyway.

Conservative Party candidates achieved (poor) second place in both 2017 and 2019, but this time the Con has almost no chance, so unpopular is the Sunak government. Also, Sunak is Indian. The 30% of the Rochdale voters that are Asian are mostly Pakistani. The Con candidate seems to be English.

The LibDem has a Scottish name; otherwise, I know nothing of him and cannot see him getting anywhere.

While 60%-70% of the eligible voters are English, it is a question of how many are motivated to vote. In 2019, only 60% of eligible Rochdale voters voted, and that was a higher percentage than most previous recent elections. The assumption, at least, is that the Muslim vote is more powerful, as a bloc, than the actually larger English vote.

The upshot is that this is between “Labour” Azhar Ali and Galloway. Galloway must be favourite to win now that Labour has disowned Ali. The bookmakers certainly think so: at present, Galloway/Workers Party 4/7 favourite; Labour 13/8; LibDems 40/1; Reform UK 50/1; Conservatives 200/1; Greens 1,000/1; others also 1,000/1.

Latest from Rochdale

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/25/rochdale-byelection-chaos-town-voters-main-parties-george-galloway

“Byelections are traditionally a chance for voters to lodge a protest vote. But when the people of Rochdale go to the polls on Thursday, they have barely anyone to protest against.

The Labour and Green parties have ditched their candidates. The Conservative was abroad on a long-planned family holiday the week before polling day. The Lib Dem remains, but pulled out of the most high-profile political event, a local BBC radio debate.

The most energetic campaigning last week came instead from the political fringe: George Galloway, serial byelection winner and founder of the Workers Party of Britain, and Simon Danczuk, the town’s former Labour MP who was suspended by the party for sexting a 17-year-old girl and is now standing for Reform UK.

“We don’t deserve this,” said Margaret King, standing outside Marks & Spencer. “This town does not deserve to be this short of anybody decent to vote for.” This time she’s ­voting for one of the local independents.

“We’ve been Lib Dem for a long time, back to Cyril Smith, but when I think back I can’t believe I voted for him. There’s too many shadows on this town.“

Back in the town centre, people at the Regal Moon were surprised to learn that the Wetherspoons pub was the official headquarters of the Monster Raving Loony party candidate. Some drinkers there raised immigration as an issue, although none considered Reform UK to be an option. “Danczuk has been here before and he didn’t do anything then,” said David Brierley, after complaining how much the town’s ethnic makeup has changed.”

“Labour is being warned by a powerful alliance of thinktanks and charities that poverty will soar if it comes to power and then fails to spend many billions of pounds on welfare reform to help those struggling most with the cost of living.

Poverty and extreme financial hardship have become acute problems,” the new report says. “With wages at a standstill over the last decade, recent soaring prices came at a time when many households were already struggling to meet essential costs. While some have seen their earnings increase in the period since the cost of living crisis started, for many the damage had already been done. Use of foodbanks has reached unprecedented levels, and there has been a sharp rise in households taking out loans to cover bills and daily spending.”

It says that “people on low incomes too often cycle between low-paid, insecure roles and stints of unemployment” with the number of “economically inactive” people (those out of work and not actively looking for work) at record levels. “For too long, our welfare state has taken a punitive approach, ignoring individual motivations and challenges and wasting resources on approaches to that simply don’t work.”

I think that my assessment of Therese Coffey, written 5 years ago (updates added since then) has held up well: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/16/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-therese-coffey-story/.

Birmingham is or was a major hub of the sinister “Common Purpose” conspiracy, which is implicated in so many scandals, partly because its “graduates” (members) are often unqualified (except on paper) for their executive positions. For example, the shambolic social work and social worker department in Birmingham itself and, as we now see, the Birmingham local government milieu as a whole.

Birmingham is just one particularly egregious example. There are numerous others. The police throughout the UK provide other examples.

“Common Purpose is a global not-for-profit on a mission to develop people who can cross cultural, institutional and social boundaries.” Wherever it takes root, laws and regulations are ignored, and administration becomes chaotic. The very sinister and sleazy Chris Bryant, MP for Rhondda, was once one of its main organizers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Purpose_UK; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Middleton; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Bryant.

“Common Purpose (CP)

– a hidden virus in our government and schools

Although it has 80,000 trainees in 36 cities, 18,000 graduate members and enormous power, Common Purpose is largely unknown to the general public.

It recruits and trains “leaders” to be loyal to the directives of Common Purpose and the EU, instead of to their own departments, which they then undermine or subvert, the NHS being an example.

Common Purpose is identifying leaders in all levels of our government to assume power when our nation is replaced by the European Union, in what they call “the post democratic society.” They are learning to rule without regard to democracy, and will bring the EU police state home to every one of us.

Common Purpose is also the glue that enables fraud to be committed across these government departments to reward pro European local politicians. Corrupt deals are enabled that put property or cash into their pockets by embezzling public assets.

It has members in the NHS, BBC, the police, the legal profession, the church, many of Britain’s 7,000 quangos, local councils, the Civil Service, government ministries, Parliament, and it controls many RDA’s (Regional Development Agencies).“

Walls. Squads.

Neil Oliver says to the corrupt and self-serving MPs, “just go“, but they will not just “go” of their own accord. They will have to be “sent”…

Accurate, but not entirely. Union Street in Plymouth is not really the city centre, though not far away; more a crumbling depressed bit between the main centre and the docks and ferry port (I once commuted to and from Brittany, Plymouth-Roscoff, about once every 10 days, in the years 2005-2009, so I do know Plymouth a bit; and also used to appear quite often as Counsel at the Plymouth County Court).

Plymouth is rife, in its administration, with both freemasonry and “Common Purpose”. A very badly-run city.

That bald vlogger is the one who used to visit out-of-the-way bits of the former Soviet Union. Not sure why he no longer does that. I think that he was removed from Ukraine but am unsure.

I just saw this:

Apart from Plymouth, “Bald and Bankrupt” goes to Weston-super-Mare, a place which I have also visited a few times quite long ago now (I knew a blonde Ukrainian lady who lived there, she having married an older Englishman who then, really not long afterwards, died of a heart attack, leaving her a quite decent detached house in what passes for the best area of the town). That was circa 2000.

I remember Weston-super-Mare mainly for playing tennis on a warm sunny day with the Ukrainian lady (well, just playing around, really), and deliberately hitting her on the rear with a tennis ball when she bent over to pick up another ball, after which she fired half a dozen at me (I dodged them by running away, weaving).

“Bald and Bankrupt” then goes to Birmingham, a city I do not know, and which I have never even seen, except once or twice from a train, or car circling its endless motorways and other roads, and —once— when on a small plane that stopped at the airport to take on fuel etc.

The state of Birmingham shown in the vlog echoes that discussed in those Matt Goodwin and Sunday Times tweets.

“Come, friendly Russian bombers...” (with apologies to John Betjeman…).

“Bald and Bankrupt” then goes, briefly, to Sunderland, a town I have also never visited (though my late father once played professionally for Sunderland football club, sometime around 1946).

He then goes to a semi-derelict former mining village called Hordern, where he meets a man demolishing a 19thC brick wall, the man having moved to this hopeless desolate place from Guildford (Surrey). Why? Why? Apparently because rental of property is cheaper. Even so…People are very strange…

Overall, dystopian, and not a little frightening.

Of course, much, maybe most, of England, or Britain, is not like those places. Not yet, anyway.

“Women are having fewer children than ever before, official figures revealed today. 

Office for National Statistics data shows the fertility rate — the average number of children a woman has — in England and Wales slumped to 1.49 in 2022. 

It marks the lowest figure since records began in 1938, laying bare the reality of the ongoing baby bust that threatens to cripple the economy. 

Not a single one of the 330-plus authorities in both countries has a fertility rate that is above ‘replacement level’, according to MailOnline analysis.“

[Daily Mail]

When one considers that (overall) the blacks and browns etc are having children, the birthrate among white people (“the people formerly known as British”) is seen more clearly as being at a rock-bottom level.

Britain Occupied territory

For me, what is most alarming is that dim people like Hoyle can get to some of the highest-status positions in our country and society.

At least he is an animal-lover in his private life. I can approve of that.

Paul Golding/Britain First is only partly correct. While Islamism is a threat to the UK, so is Jew-Zionism, which is far more embedded in the power structure. Paul Golding always attacks the one but not the other, which may be one reason why Britain First has a poor electoral record; most recently, 1.6% at the Wellingborough by-election, only 8th out of 11 candidates.

At Wellingborough, Britain First’s 8th-placed position came after Labour, Conservative, Reform, LibDems, an Independent, Greens, and another Independent, only beating the Monster Raving Loony and two more Independents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellingborough_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Only one caveat: I do not know whether those numbers are inflation-adjusted.

“By sending long-range “Taurus” cruise missiles to Ukraine, they will make Germany part of the Ukrainian conflict, German politician Sara Wagenknecht told the German media.

“You really think that if we deliver more weapons, the Ukrainians will be able to drive the Russians out of Crimea? Do you think Russia, a nuclear power, will allow that? If we bring war to Russia with German weapons, then we will also bring war to Germany,” she said.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahra_Wagenknecht. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahra_Wagenknecht#Refugee_policy. Interesting.

Sara Wagenknecht only finished her secondary education in 1988, a year before the collapse of the DDR (and, incidentally, the same year in which I myself saw the country, though only briefly), so she could not have been a member of the Aufklärung (the foreign intelligence component of the State Security apparat or “Stasi“). Had she been older, one might wonder.

Lee Anderson, and Ashfield (Derbyshire)

The maverick MP has been suspended from being under the Conservative Party whip.

Naturally, I do not agree with his statement that London is “run by Muslims”. Sadiq Khan is from a Muslim background, but has been pretty much in the Jew-Zionist pocket for many years.

It would be more accurate to characterize Sadiq Khan as “anti-white”.

As to Anderson himself, I suggest that he is trying to bolster his position vis a vis the General Election expected later this year.

Until 2019, Ashfield had always been won by Labour since its inception in 1955, with one closely-run by-electoral exception in 1977. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashfield_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s. “New Labour” and Gloria de Piero changed all that.

David Marquand, a former MP for Ashfield (1966-1977; he is still alive, at 89): “Originally a tentative supporter of Blair’s New Labour, he has since become a trenchant critic, arguing that “New Labour has ‘modernised’ the social-democratic tradition out of all recognition”, even while retaining the over-centralisation and disdain for the radical intelligentsia of the old “Labourite” tradition.” [Wikipedia]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Marquand.

Marquand defected to the SDP and then was honourable enough to step down as MP, not contesting the by-election.

In fact, Marquand was himself rather intellectual:

“Marquand addressed Britain’s relative economic decline in The Unprincipled Society (1988) and The New Reckoning (1997). He argued that this decline was caused by Britain’s failure to become a developmental state like France, Germany and Japan. In those countries state intervention had encouraged industrial development and had facilitated the necessary adjustments to competition. Britain, however, was wedded to an economic liberalism which prevented the state from undertaking the necessary measures to meet the country’s developmental needs.[7] In The New Reckoning Marquand claimed: “The economies that have succeeded more spectacularly have been those fostered by developmental states, where public power, acting in concert with private interest, has induced market forces to flow in the desired direction”.[8]” [Wikipedia].

In fact, Ashfield is not quite as “safe Labour” as the history might suggest superficially. Gloria de Piero won in 2010 by a majority of under half a point (0.4%, 192 votes) from a LibDem.

While de Piero’s majority increased in 2015 (as the LibDems imploded), in 2017 she beat the Conservative candidate by less than one point (0.9%, 441 votes). An Ashfield Independent came third with over 9% of the vote.

In 2019, Lee Anderson won convincingly: 39.3% of the vote, followed in second (27.6%) by another “Ashfield Independent”, Jason Zadrozny [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Zadrozny], who has had a chequered political and personal history. In third place came Labour, with only 24.4%.

Zadrozny is going to contest the seat at GE 2024.

So far, apart from Anderson (who may or may not be standing as Conservative Party candidate, depending on whether he gets back the Conservative whip), only the Ashfield Independent and Reform UK are presently known to be likely to stand at GE 2024, but a full field is almost guaranteed. There may be a dozen or more candidates.

At first, I thought that Anderson could probably be written off as post-GE 2024 MP, but now am not so sure. He has now (whether by design or not) distanced himself from the unpopular Conservative leadership —and possibly from the equally-unpopular Conservative Party— is anti-EU, anti-migration invasion etc, and is now known nationwide. He must have at least a chance of retaining his seat. If he does, and if he also retains it as a “Conservative” MP, he might be one of 100 or even as few as 50 such MPs. Who knows what might then happen?

[Update, 13 October 2024: In the end, what happened at GE 2024 was that Lee Anderson stood as Reform UK candidate, and won handsomely with 42.8% of the vote. He is thus now one of 5 Reform UK MPs. The Labour candidate came a poor second with 29%; third place, with 15.7%, went to that Independent, Zadrozny, who faces yet another Crown Court trial soon, in February 2025: numerous charges of fraud and income tax evasion, as well as possession of cocaine): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashfield_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s].

The present military power and political influence of “World Jewry”, centred on Israel, is a catastrophe for the world. Another negative long-term consequence of the disastrous —and disastrously finishing—Second World War.

Ukraine (Kiev regime) has fewer and fewer soldiers, especially on the frontlines, even fewer experienced soldiers, and a shortage of arms and ammunition. Its economy is in ruins, and up to a third of the entire population has relocated out of the country.

Russia has millions of reserve troops being trained and ready for deployment; has hugely expanded its production of arms and ammunition; the Russian hydrocarbon sector is bringing in hundreds of billions of dollars (or equivalent) in oil and gas sales; the domestic Russian economy is normal; new trade links worldwide are opening up. Russia’s nuclear backstop is being upgraded, and links with Iran etc are bringing up thousands of drones ready for deployment. Russia also has 6,000+ tactical and strategic nuclear weapons and a variety of delivery systems.

“Ukraine” will not launch a new counter-offensive, certainly not a successful one, in 2024. Russia, though, may launch one, and with every chance of success.

The U.S. Presidential election will quite likely bring a new American president to office. If that individual cuts off the supply of money and arms to the Kiev regime, the war will be over in weeks not months.

Incidentally, groups such as the malicious Jew-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] get Jewish volunteers to “edit” (vandalize) Wikipedia on certain topics, so be cautious about what you read there.

GE 2024

Saw an opinion piece in the Yorkshire Post about the upcoming 2024 General Election. It seems to me to be mainly right:

“Speaking to friends and colleagues, and listening in to conversations in the pub or on the train, I am becoming increasingly convinced that the public has made up its mind about the current government, and there is little Rishi Sunak and his team can do to change that.

They can keep talking, but voters are not listening anymore. The problem for the Conservatives isn’t a wave of enthusiasm for Sir Keir Starmer and Labour. Far from it. This isn’t the ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ vibe that swept Tony Blair to power in 1997, nor even the Corbyn mini surge that cost Theresa May her majority in 2017.

No, the problem for the Conservatives is not that their supporters are running to Labour, but that, as demonstrated in recent by-elections, Tory voters are simply staying at home on polling day.

Is that any surprise? I doubt that many people who gave Boris Johnson a thumping victory in 2019 thought they were voting for open borders, rampant inflation, an economic recession, and the highest tax burden since World War II. The Tories have only themselves to blame.

Sure, the pandemic followed by the war in Ukraine were unprecedented events that helped blow the government off course, but the Conservatives have lost sight of who they are supposed to be fighting for.

Imagine that over the next few months everything goes right for the Prime Minister – the establishment blob is finally defeated over asylum seekers and flights take off for Rwanda, and the boats are stopped crossing the Channel; the economy comes out of recession and begins to grow, inflation is tamed, and the Chancellor cuts taxes in the spring Budget.

Would it be enough to swing things Rishi’s way? I am starting to doubt it.

Any politician who wants to reconnect with the voters who could propel them to power should accompany me on my early morning commute. Catch any early train or bus into Leeds, Sheffield or Wakefield and take a look around the carriage. I guarantee you will see the nation’s grafters who work hard in often poorly paid jobs, pay their taxes, obey the law, and do their best to raise their families.

Women and ethnic minorities are overrepresented on these journeys, and I sometimes play a game with myself trying to guess their jobs – health staff, cleaners, construction workers, shop staff and call centre operatives.

If a party wants to gain power it should ensure that every single policy in the manifesto passes one simple test – will it make the lives of these people better?

The reason politicians, both left and right, have become so disconnected from their voters is that you don’t often see them shivering in the pouring rain at a bus stop at 5am, or catching the 6.18 crowded train into Leeds.

As the general election gets closer we are starting to get some idea of what a Labour government will look like, and it is not an encouraging sight.

…the radical ideas, like the green growth plan, have to be ditched. Anyone expecting sweeping progressive changes under Labour is likely to be sorely disappointed.

Instead Labour seems increasingly likely to concentrate on toxic culture war issues that mean little to most people beyond the ideologues and fanatics.

Take for example two recent policy pledges. One is to impose VAT on private school fees, and the other is to close so-called loopholes in the fox hunting ban by outlawing drag hunting.

Sure the vindictive class warriors will love this, but I look around the carriage on my early morning train and ask myself, would such policies make the lives of my fellow passengers any better? No, of course not. It would not make the blindest bit of difference.

Come the general election voters will be faced with an uninspiring choice between a Conservative party that has run out of steam, and a Labour party that never had any puff in the first place.

I am convinced that if any party produced a manifesto that passed my early morning train test it would win by a landslide.“

[Bill Carmichael, in the Yorkshire Post].

Not 100% right, but 90%+.

The problem is that only social-nationalism can really satisfy Britain’s requirements, but the “Zionist”/pro-Israel element jumps upon even tiny social-national parties, movements, fora etc, and makes constant complaint to police, regulators etc, in order to prevent any tiny social-national party etc becoming a large one.

Our form of Parliamentary democracy has failed because (((a certain element))) has choked it.

Until the ground is cleared, it will be hard for Britain to start to live again.

If anyone —such as the absurd political “ho”, Liz Truss— thinks that bureaucracy in the UK is worse than that of the USA, he or —in this case, she— has evidently never lived in the United States.

Liz Truss is a dangerous woman, though, despite her idiocy. Instead of accepting her political demise and defenestration, she is “doubling the bet” by saying that the Deep State etc got rid of her, and that she was right about the economy and society all along.

Truss’s strategy is obvious. The Conservative Party is going straight down with the electorate. Nothing can save it. The only chance, and a slight one, is that Starmer/Labour makes such a poor impression in the next few months that people will vote Con to stop Labour getting a huge majority. Very unlikely.

On that premise, Sunak, the little Indian money-juggler presently posing as Prime Minister, is toast. Maybe even before, but more likely after, GE 2024. The question then becomes who replaces Sunak. There are no candidates popular with either the public or the Conservative MPs and/or rank-and-file. On that basis, Truss seems to feel that she has as much chance as any of the other present possibilities (Mordaunt, Cleverly, Tugendhat, Suella Braverman etc).

Imagine Cleverly as Prime Minister! Or “chocolate soldier” Tugendhat. Still, Liz Truss was quite as absurd, really, as was “Boris”-idiot, as was Theresa May.

If, as predicted, Conservative MPs reduce in number to 100, or even 50, the pool will be small. Almost anyone in that small pool might have a chance. A chance, that is, of becoming Leader of the Conservative Party, not of becoming Prime Minister.

There it is, in a nutshell. Feral blacks (mostly), and sometimes others, uncontrolled by either society or any personal subjective value-system.

Interesting. I was unaware that this involved more “trans” nonsense.

I am usually against the death penalty, but there may be exceptions, cases where society needs to “excommunicate” a particularly unpleasant or evil individual or group.

It may seem fanciful to say that the endless lies of the msm, from the cat-killing murdering Chinese supposedly being a “woman”, to the “Covid” narrative, and the dangerous fake “vaccines” etc (oh, and the idea that most immigrants are somehow useful to our society) derive from the whole “holocaust” farrago of the past half-century or so, but this disregard for actual truth and actual fact started somewhere; it did not suddenly appear from nowhere, and it is getting ever more pronounced in our society.

Certainly when the individuals concerned are not even European.

I disagree with Goodwin on a few points, especially his pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby stances, but overall I agree with that.

“There is no military solution to the conflict in Ukraine and it must be resolved through negotiations,” said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

A simple mathematical calculation shows that Russia is militarily superior, and that Ukraine will not be, if the West does not intervene. However, NATO does not want war and will not go to war. It is necessary to ask for a ceasefire, because it is impossible to bring Russia to its knees in the military plan” , said the Hungarian Prime Minister.“

In fact, though Orban is correct in assuming that the Kiev regime simply cannot “win”, he is not entirely correct in assuming that there is “no military solution“, because Russia could “win”, at least to the extent of seizing all of Eastern Ukraine, and all of the Black Sea littoral.

I had assumed as much, because the Israelis have only claimed to have cleared a relatively few miles of tunnels, whereas it was said initially that Hamas has 200-300 miles of tunnels, which may or may not be interconnected. Probably some are not connected to the others.

I have to say that I find tunnels fascinating, but am very glad that I am not one of the soldiers (on either side) fighting either to defend them or to clear them.

I think that, sooner or later, maybe within 10 years, things will come full circle, and the cities of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem etc will find themselves on the receiving end of even greater destruction.

“A Jewish father whose five-month-old daughter’s birth certificate was returned from the Passport Office ripped with the birthplace of Israel scratched out plans to sue the individuals responsible.

‘We are very happy that the Government took swift action but I hope whoever this public servant is is banned,’ he told MailOnline last night. 

‘I would like to sue them personally for the damage they have carried out to my daughter’s birth certificate, my property.’ 

The family is in contact with a lawyer to discuss next steps and is considering whether to contact the police to report a possible hate crime.“

He wants both money and (to put it politely) revenge.

This is what many of “them” are like. Compare their similar mocking of people (especially those unable to hit back) on Twitter/X. Jews in the UK, for example, mocking the historian David Irving, whose death (as yet unconfirmed) has been reported.

“They” never, or very rarely, have any class, or any understanding of decent behaviour.

“They” are still whining about their recent ancestors having been moved around Europe by German forces in the early/mid 1940s. Now the Jews are doing something very similar to the Palestinian Arabs.

Classic

John Huston’s famous film was based on a book by the mysterious German (?) anarchist Bruno Traven, who once went by the name “Der Ziegelbrenner” (The Brick-Burner”).

Designs and pictures like the lion are part of a nation’s iconography. They are little pieces of a whole. Think the Robertson’s gollywog, gollywogs generally, the Camp coffee essence label scene (British officer being served by his Indian sepoy-batman), and the various famous companies with their legendary “backstories”.

Cadbury’s was one like that: its story (including Bournville village), its public-interest activity, its sheer Britishness. Now all gone, the workers betrayed, and the company sold off to American Jews who have ruined both the company and its image, and even its products. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bournville; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury.

Such things are not as trivial as many are now claiming about the Tate & Lyle Golden Syrup lion.

The famous old companies and their products are part of the gradually-acquired soul of this country. Their trashing and removal, or sudden metamorphosis into something alien, unfamiliar, is a symptom of what is happening to the British nation. It too is being trashed and more or less removed. All that is left is a shell. The same applies to (you name it) the Church, the Bar, Parliament, the armed forces, almost everything.

Crazed women abused children

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68353302

“A Utah mother whose harsh parenting advice made her a YouTube influencer has been sentenced to at least four years in prison for child abuse.

The two women were arrested in August 2023 after Franke’s malnourished 12-year-old son climbed out of a window at Hildebrandt’s house in Ivins, Utah. Police said the child then ran to a neighbour’s house and asked for food and water. He had lacerations from being tied up with rope, according to police records.

 “[YouTube] fans started to become suspicious in 2020, when one of her sons mentioned that he had been forced to sleep on a bean bag for seven months.

YouTube viewers combed through her archives and pointed out other disturbing and controversial methods used by Franke – such as withholding food, threatening to chop the head off a toy stuffed animal and “cancelling” Christmas as a punishment.

Franke then began appearing in YouTube videos posted by Ms Hildebrandt – a counsellor and life coach – on her site, ConneXions Classroom.

Away from the camera, however, Franke’s children were being subjected to even harsher abuse.

This included tying them up, beating and kicking them, neglecting to feed them and forcing them to work outdoors in the summer without sunscreen, resulting in serious sunburn, according to police records.

In a plea agreement, Hildebrandt stated that she either tortured the children or was aware of the abuse and that she forced one of Franke’s daughters to “jump into a cactus multiple times”.

[BBC]

Terrible, and comes against a background of too-strict American parenting, though plenty of too-indulgent parenting exists there too. I concede that, as someone without offspring, I write as a mere observer. I do think, though, that many Americans are too strict with their children, but I admit that I have also seen much of the opposite tendency (children allowed to behave and speak rather rudely).

Some type of civil war is coming. It may be in 2025, it may be in 2035 or later, but it is coming…

As to Matt Goodwin, I am wondering why he appears to be bolstering the electoral case for not only Reform UK but also the Conservative Party.

Having said that, I doubt whether anything can now save the Conservative Party, let alone the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

As Powell said, “we must be mad, literally mad“, but it is not the British people themselves but a small minority —at Westminster, in the newspapers, on TV and radio, in the legal professions and the universities etc— who are the guilty parties.

In fact, the British people as a whole do bear at least some of the guilt, for being so apathetic as to allow themselves to be repressed and then, as is now happening, replaced.

Nearly 100%, in fact, because almost all of the remaining 8% will be births to first, or second, or third-generation non-white women, and a relative few to white women but first/second/third-generation immigrant fathers. Hardly any to white couples.

“My daughter is two years-old. She’s already lived through three prime ministers, four chancellors, two monarchs, a global pandemic, and wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. What will she live through in the years ahead, I often wonder?

It’s a question most parents ask themselves. And it’s one I asked myself again yesterday while reading a new forecast on how Britain’s population will change over the next twelve years —which is not a very long time at all.

The forecast, from the independent Office for National Statistics, is striking to say the least. And I suspect many people out there in the country, many of the people who are perhaps reading this Substack, will find it deeply worrying.

By the year 2036, by the time my daughter turns fifteen, Britain’s population will have grown by another 6.6 million people. In just fifteen years, in just three election cycles, the population will surge by 10 per cent, rising from 67 million people to nearly 74 million. And of the additional 6.6 million people in the country —another 6.6 million people using the NHS, the GPs, the schools, the roads, and looking for a house to buy or rent— some 6.1 million will be here because of immigration.“

[Matt Goodwin]

The Gaza slaughter is only continuing because the Jewish lobby in the USA now effectively controls, as it has done since at least the 1960s, both U.S. policy in Washington and, also, the American mass media, thus cheerleading the largely-ignorant and easily-led American masses.

“Boris Johnson asked for 1 million in “US dollars, gold or bitcoins” for an interview on the situation in Ukraine, Tucker Carlson said. The journalist reported the politician’s demand to Blaze.

Carlson tried to arrange an interview with the former British Prime Minister, who called him a “tool of the Kremlin” because of the interview with Putin. But he asked him for a meeting for 1 million in “US dollars, gold or bitcoins”:

“I’m not defending Putin, but Putin didn’t ask me for a million dollars. So Boris Johnson is a much more slippery and nasty guy than Vladimir Putin.”“

Does that idiot even believe what he is saying? Ukraine (Kiev regime) cannot “win”. It cannot regain the oblasti of Donetsk, Lugansk (and/or Crimea etc). It cannot attack, in any serious way, Russia itself.

It could only achieve those objectives by drawing NATO directly into the war (leading, probably, to a world war), or by somehow contriving a palace revolution in Moscow. Neither of those possibilities is likely to take place.

I have been wondering why the Western msm obsession with Navalny. Was it because, after the death of Boris Nemtsov, Navalny was the only high-profile opposition figure in Russia? Like Nemtsov, his support was only about 5% of the population, and could never have reached even 20%.

Navalny did get 27% in the Moscow Mayoralty election of 2013, but Moscow is not Russia; an island of Westernization and (relative) affluence. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexei_Navalny#Ratings.

As blogged previously, I think that Navalny was almost certainly a braver man than me (going back from exile in Germany to almost-certain arrest in Russia), and certainly a more reckless one, inter alia.

Incidentally, I just saw this about Zhirinovsky, the supposedly “Russian nationalist” stalking horse of the early 1990s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Zhirinovsky#Jewish_heritage.

Various “reasons”, from the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic fallout to “Ukraine” (support for Zelensky’s corrupt, chaotic, and brutal dictatorship, and Israel), to the importation of millions of parasites. Overall, the shorthand terms “NWO”, “ZOG”, “WEF” and “Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan ” pretty much cover it.

Elon Musk, though he strikes me as an interesting person, is at the same time rather disappointing. Take away his untold millions and billions, and what would be left? Not much, really.

The “whys and wherefores” are not yet known, as far as I can see, but the news brought to mind the old Chekist saying, “the legs of the traitor are not as long as the arms of the Cheka” [ЧК].

Roberts is, in my view, a largely ahistorical scribbler, who has posed as a kind of pseudo-aristocratic historian all his life, always having had plenty of money thanks to his father having owned both the well-known Job’s Dairy and also the UK franchise rights for Kentucky Fried Chicken (now KFC).

He was raised to the life peerage by “Boris” Johnson in 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Roberts,_Baron_Roberts_of_Belgravia.

He is and always was pro-NWO etc. An “Atlanticist”, if you like. Now he seems to be regurgitating lying Israeli government propaganda instead of pro-Churchill ahistory.

Murderous vandals and thieves.

Look at it. Listen to it. Its very voice is both ugly and brutal, even before one reads the subtitles.

Diary Blog, 20 February 2024, including a few thoughts about prominent fakes in present-day UK society

The fakes that roar

I happened to watch an edition of Celebrity Chase quiz show (from about 6 years ago). As usual, I did not know even the names of a couple of the “celebrities”, but “Eddie the Eagle” was there and, also, Michelle Dewberry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Dewberry].

I believe that Ms. Dewberry is now employed by GB News TV as presenter of a current affairs show.

Sadly, Ms. Dewberry proved herself entirely ignorant about politics, and pretty much everything else. Even worse than I was expecting.

Full of unwarranted self-confidence, but empty of intellectual content. Totemic of the present-day (think “Boris” Johnson, for one…).

The presenter of The Chase, Bradley Walsh, introduced Ms. Dewberry as “businesswoman and TV presenter“, I think. True up to a point. She did have a business, though I think an unsuccessful one, about 15 years ago. She is best known for having won, in 2006, The Apprentice, the TV competition run by Jewish businessman Alan Sugar.

My problem with all that is that she is one of a number of people with considerable public profile, and who opines about politics, Britain’s future etc, and yet is entirely ignorant in almost (?) all areas.

I suppose that I have to be honest and admit that, in the commonly-heard (on TV at least) phrase, “she scrubs up well“, anyway.

I see now from Wikipedia that Ms. Dewberry is now in a personal relationship with a once-successful and still affluent businessman, who is also, inter alia, a TV/radio presenter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Jordan.

Ms. Dewberry seems to be an example of a widespread problem in the UK these days, namely people posing as business successes, political experts etc when they are nothing of the sort; but it suits the msm to present them as such.

Look at Michelle Mone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Mone,_Baroness_Mone.

Most such people are boosted by the msm and/or politicians because it suits an agenda, in Michelle Mone’s case as an example of a *woman from *a deprived or poor background, who *via her own efforts *became “successful” and *wealthy. The David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith (etc) ideology personified— and as fake as those cheats.

In fact, Michelle Mone is a fake through and through, and always has been, as seen even in her Wikipedia entry. That, however, has not stopped her from having been —ludicrously, so be it— elevated to the House of Lords; nor has it stopped her from making hundreds of millions of pounds from useless hospital equipment, sold to the NHS via contacts in the Conservative Party, together with her present husband: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Barrowman.

There is something wrong about a country that seems not to care whether someone prominent, and/or in public life proper, is a fake. Look at Iain Duncan Smith. That man has so many layers of fakery that to examine them all in detail would require a book by someone such as Tom Bower [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Bower].

We see now how history is not only misunderstood, but often faked in both its overall purport and in details. I am referring not only to the WW2 “holocaust” farrago, but to, for example, the attempts now made to present a one-sided view of European (including British) colonialism as something entirely bad, with no redeeming features.

When history is faked, how can present-day politics and intellectual life be unaffected?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Benton_(politician).

As in the many previous cases involving corrupt and moneygrubbing MPs, what always amazes me is how easy they are to entrap. They must have very little caution (perhaps as a result of their feeling of “entitlement”).

As Hitler said of the Weimar Republic’s creatures, “dirty democratic politicians“…

Incredible, or perhaps not, that the only penalty the House of Commons itself has imposed on Benton is a 35-day suspension. Of course, the real penalty will be if there is a by-election and he loses his seat, though he would have lost it —or will lose it— at GE 2024 anyway.

With “them”, it is always all about them…

It may be that, in time, huge fleets of drones will attack Tev Aviv, Jerusalem, and Dimona.

The UK/US extradition treaty is, in practice, a one-way street. Abrogate it.

Incidentally, there was a time, mostly though not entirely in the years 1993-1995, when I appeared as Counsel pretty much weekly at the Royal Courts of Justice (always in the High Court). Seems long ago now, and indeed is. A different time, and a different world.

I blogged briefly about Kate Andrews a year or so ago:

Well said.

I agree with tweeter “Betty’s Hotpot”/”@BigThickSlices” too. Reform UK is not properly social-national. I do not value it highly, certainly not to the extent of Matt Goodwin. Britain needs a social-national party which, sadly, does not even exist, at least as yet.

“Our wonderful police”…

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/police-tell-woman-nick-back-32171141

“A woman was left in shock after police allegedly told her to retrieve her stolen £30,000 Lexus car herself.

Alexandra Vlad, 32, woke up on February 6 to find her Lexus UX missing from her driveway in Newham, East London. Using a tracking app on her phone, she found the last known location of her car in Hackney, about six miles away. She called the police and provided all the information but claims she was then instructed to go and get the car herself.

Alexandra, who works in corporate finance, said: “I was more shaken by the experience of dealing with the police than the car being stolen itself. I told them what happened, and that I could see the last location of the engine. They told me they wouldn’t be there for at least an hour. It was a dodgy part of Hackney. I felt unsafe.“

[Daily Mirror]

The police are a prime example of how things generally do not work properly now in Britain, though there are many others— NHS, banks, insurance companies, the whole political and electoral system, repair of the roads, the non-existent border defences etc.
