Sam Melia/Laura Towler crowdfunder
Sam Melia has now been imprisoned for 3-4 days. Another 6-12 months to go, probably.
I am glad to see that their crowdfunder, established to help Laura Towler (expected to give birth to their second child soon) and Melia both survive and thrive, and to maintain political struggle both during the coming year and thereafter, has gathered in, as of time and date of writing, some £54,000, and is still increasing rapidly. When I first mentioned the crowdfunder on the blog, last Thursday, it was at nearly £48,000, so well over £1,000 a day has been donated over the past days. Excellent.
If anyone wants to donate and/or leave a message of support, the link is at https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia.
Minimum donation £4. Show solidarity, stick it to the System, and help what seem to be good people (for sake of clarity, I am personally unacquainted with them, and do not belong to Patriotic Alternative).
Incidentally, this is what the CPS have had to say about the Sam Melia “case”: https://www.cps.gov.uk/cps/news/updated-sentence-far-right-organiser-found-guilty-intent-stir-racial-hatred-through.
It will be noted that the clowns are unable even to spell correctly the name of Oswald Mosley… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_Mosley; https://www.oswaldmosley.com/. The CPS report has Mosley down as “Moseley“, like the Birmingham suburb.
So that is how the CPS and police waste huge amounts of public money, prosecuting a mere sticker-posting campaign as if it were an IRA bomb plot of the 1970s.
If the CPS and (more so) police behaviour is “Stalinist”, then so in the sense of the words of Karl Marx in The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon: “first time tragedy, second time farce“…
All the same, Sam Melia is still going to sit in prison for 6-12 months, thus punishing his wife and small children. Justice? I think not.

Britain in the 21st Century.
“Bukele won 85% of the vote and is by all accounts one of the most popular leaders in the world now. This is why liberals in the West call him a threat to democracy – democracy for them just means institutionalised pluralism. The number one threat to that is someone who bypasses the institutions of mass democracy to embody popular will.”
“Bukele has maintained record high approval ratings of around 90% among Salvadorans throughout his tenure.[9][10]“

Not quite like-for-like, because the “vaccinated” population consists of more people than the “unvaccinated”, I believe, but even so the figures are alarmingly divergent.

Many will dismiss that out of hand. I am not so sure that the report is mistaken, though. The UK of 2024 is an unhappy land.

“I tried but failed to get called in oral questions today.

“Europe will have nothing to defend itself with, in case it is dragged into a hypothetical conflict, retired Lieutenant General of the Armed Forces of Belgium Mark Thies said, reports the German “Mercury”.
” After a few hours we would have to throw stones. We are already in trouble. Be sure that our opponents, regardless of whether they are in Moscow, Beijing or anywhere else in the world, know about our lack of ammunition, ” Tees said.
According to his opinion, the main problem of the EU is small stocks, which consist of high-quality ammunition, and the process of replacing them and filling the warehouse is a difficult task that requires a lot of time. ” If you order them today, they may take up to seven years to deliver ,” he believes.”
The other problem, not mentioned, and never mentioned by System msm outlets, is that, if things continue for much longer as they have been in European societies, there will be nothing to defend anyway. Nothing worthwhile, at least.
Incidentally, it seems rather amusing to hear a Belgian, of all possible European nationalities, talk about fighting a war.
Belgium has frequently provided the battlefields (in the various 18thC wars, then at Waterloo, at Ypres, in the Ardennes in 1940, and the Ardennes again in the Battle of the Bulge of 1944) but Belgian arms have rarely been distinguished in battle. Belgium is, of course, a very small country, hard to defend: 11,000 square miles, not very much larger than Wales, or Israel, or New Jersey (all around 8,000 square miles).

Goodwin again boosting Reform UK. For me, Reform UK is just “controlled opposition”, a kind of pseudo-national, “conservative nationalist” facade-party. Not the real social-national party Britain needs.
Having said that, I hope that Reform UK does get plenty of votes at GE 2024, and so helps to stamp on the Conservative Party, even if helping the now-equally-evil Labour Party into “elected dictatorship”; and that a Con Party collapse will in turn help in breaking up the “two main parties” scam that still bamboozles many people.
Good riddance.

Does our Government care about our health?
Should our soldiers be treated like human guinea pigs?
Would our Gov’ give us medication with dangerous side effects?
Would they continue giving us medication with dangerous side effects, even when other countries have ceased to prescribe it, except as a last resort?
Even when other countries have ceased prescribing a certain medication due to the catastrophic side effects, would our Government still obfuscate when asked questions about it?
Still available from Boots without a prescription allegedly.

Changing the subject. Have you ever been to Vienna? I have never been there and I am thinking of going this year. I also plan to visit Salzburg and then go to the north of Italy. We have not had a holiday for 18 years! It is about time!

I haven’t been to Vienna though I have seen pictures of it and it looks to be a very nice city with some great architecture. I have been to Salzburg and the Italian Lake District (Lake Garda) and Verona and Venice. I am sure if you visit those places you will enjoy your holiday in those places as much as I did.
Neither Austria or Italy were bombed much in the war as far as I know so they have preserved the architecture of their cities and towns to a great extent.

I have been to Austria a few times, but only once to Vienna (in the mid-1980s), though I have also changed planes at the airport there a few times.

If you can afford it, stay somewhere not too far beyond the Ring (the main circular boulevard). I cannot recommend any hotels. I was staying in a rather grand apartment in Gusshausstrasse near Karlsplatz.

It isn’t easy to do as you suggest with regard to our Canadian cousins. Canada was, of course, at one time a British possession and therefore we gave them our fundamentally undemocratic stand alone First Past The Post electoral system:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_electoral_system
There is an organisation there dedicated to getting rid of the rubbish, archaic system:
https://www.fairvote.ca
Sadly, it hasn’t succeeded yet.
Why is it that the English-speaking nations have such a problem with real democracy?
Mind you there is now one exception to this dispiriting trend as our other cousins in New Zealand dumped our crap system in 1996 and contrary to the silly predictions of staunch stand alone FPTP supporters, New Zealand is doing well as a country and hasn’t been swallowed-up by the South Pacific ocean!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_reform_in_New_Zealand
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_system_of_New_Zealand
If stand alone FPTP is so utterly brilliant as an electoral system as fanatical Tories and Labour claim it to be then why is that every country that still has this archaic rubbish has organisations dedicated to getting rid of it, countries WITH Proportional Representation have no campaigning groups for them to change to stand alone FPTP and every country in Eastern Europe that was behind the Iron Curtain and became new democracies didn’t choose stand alone FPTP?

The ONLY country in Europe apart from us that still has stand alone FPTP is Belarus which is Putin’s only real friend in the world and is the only country in Europe that still has the death penalty.

If the virus had been allowed to let rip even more than Boris The Clown and company allowed to happen and as the fundamentally immoral libertarian extremists of what was once a respectable TORY newspaper wanted we would have had far more deaths and even more economic damage.
Countries like hugely densely populated Singapore handled the pandemic far better than we did because its government was not afraid to be authoritarian and ENFORCED stringent control measures. They had very few deaths and their economy has recovered well.

Yes, Unity News Network, you have posted a tweet which advertises in a nutshell how fundamentally awful this despicable, anti-British Tory government is and why real patriots should not vote for them.
There is no effective immigration control under them (Mrs Thatcher was really the last Tory PM to make a reasonably good attempt at it) and law and order is an abysmal national disgrace. The police are demoralised as the Tory government continues to impose a PC cosh on them inherited from the previous Labour government and hasn’t done as it should have done ie remove it and free the police to deal effectively with real criminals instead of harassing non-PC law abiding citizens.

Reform UK isn’t really as you describe it. The Alternative For Germany party (Afd) has a firm ideology of nationalism/nationalist variant of conservatism.
Reform UK may be moving towards national-conservatism but it isn’t really there yet. Ideologically, it is still a bit incoherent to describe it that way.
Still, one good point about Reform UK is that they do wish to change our fundamentally undemocratic electoral system by moving to Proportional Representation which would make it easier for new parties to thrive and represent the true political diversity of opinion that is present in the electorate and which stand alone FPTP crushes.

So the El Salvadorean President has cracked down hard on crime and has achieved that by recruiting more police officers and having a very high incarceration rate.
The human rights brigade are moaning about it. SO WHAT! Having a high imprisonment rate is not a matter for national shame. Criminals should be imprisoned at the rate needed to reduce and to punish crime.
The human rights brigade may well have a point when it comes to solitary confinement or the death penalty or judicial caning as Singapore uses but not with just depriving criminals of their personal liberty even for very long periods.
The focus of a sane, rational and effective criminal justice system should be on the rights of victims not the criminal and government has a responsibility to deter and punish crime so that the human right of people in society to live in security is preserved.

Indeed, Matt Goodwin. We expect no immigration control by the anti-British freaks of Labour but in the last 13 years we have had effectively none from the so-called Conservative Party either. They have betrayed us in a very severe way on that issue and at the election they will pay a heavy price for it which may be existential for the party.
Donald Trump is using it as one of his main issues in their election and it might be the pivotal one that gains him the White House once again.
