Sam Melia and Laura Towler
The crowdfunder set up to support Laura Towler and her child (soon to be two children), to help Melia himself while he sits in prison (possibly until the end of this year and even into 2025, depending on any appeal —none as yet lodged, as far as I know), and to maintain political resistance, now stands at Β£60,782: see https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia.

The so-called “political class” has been (((captured)))…
So you import, say, an Indian who can work a computer (“high-skilled worker”), or an NHS hospital cleaner or nursing assistant from Africa (“key worker”), and then they all come— husbands, wives, “fiances” or “fiancees”, children (of any age), “wider family members” etc, few of which will contribute anything, and all of whom will need to use UK services— NHS, roads, rail, schools, you name it.
More important yet is the effect on UK demographics. In 1956, when I was born, 99% of the UK population was white, almost all Northern European. By 1989, that 99% had become about 95%, and now stands around 80% but dropping rapidly.
Present projections say that white people (“the people formerly known as British”) will be a minority in the UK by 2066, if indeed the UK as such still exists by then. I think that 2040 is a more likely date.
Both System parties are following the same conspiratorial agenda, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan [be aware that the transnational Jewish lobby organizes “volunteers” to “edit” (vandalize) Wikipedia, and has infiltrated quite a number of Jews (especially American Jews) into Wikipedia as “editors”, “monitors” etc. Wikipedia is therefore sometimes biased on certain political and historical topics].
“What goes around comes around” and if, at some point, Israel itself lies in ruins to such an extent as it has reduced Gaza, the UK and other European states will, I hope, bar their gates and pull up their drawbridges to any Israeli Jews who may wish to enter as “refugees”.
“βIsraeliβ media: 135 rockets were identified as having been launched from Lebanon since the morning hours.
Israeli army radio: Hezbollah does not stop, and in the north there is increasing concern about an economic collapse.
Former head of the National Security Council: We must prepare for a situation in which a missile attack occurs on half of βIsraelβ by Hezbollah.
Israeli media quoted: Israel has lost its ability to deter and is no longer able to restore it.“
I cannot see any benefit accruing to Finland or Sweden by reason of their having joined NATO. Au contraire— they have just painted target-roundels on their own countries. Meanwhile, they have already been invaded, by black/brown Afro-Asian hordes, and the Finns and Swedes are being quite literally raped and pillaged by them.
Those Ukrainians, hundreds of thousands if not millions of them, know that the Zelensky regime in Kiev is a brutal, shambolic, and corrupt police state dictatorship. They have no intention of going back to fight for it.
This week, I myself face my sentencing hearing for supposed political “crimes” under Communications Act 2003, s.127. Free speech is now all but dead in the UK.
Ha. Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng), who is standing down at GE 2024 anyway. Unpleasant and useless waste of space.
Completely useless. An enemy of the British people in every respect.
Odd that Woollyhead claims to be “interested in the General Election“, in which election he is not even going to be a candidate. I suppose that he hopes to be elevated to the Lords afterwards, and then get Β£350+ a day just for turning up to sign in for 20 minutes, and be able from time to time to show off in robes quite as quaint and silly as those of his native West Africa.
Sweep all that away.
“The “Marian” newspaper obtained three confidential military reports that talk about the “critical situation” on the territory of Ukraine. These reports, among other things, state that the Ukrainian army is unable to win the conflict, that soldiers from Western countries are already present in Ukraine, and that Russia has a great advantage in all aspects.”

British benefits are ALREADY the lowest in Europe by a long way. How typical is it of these severely out-of- touch Tory toffs to think making benefits even harder to obtain can help the economy to any real extent. It WILL NOT least of all because poor people on benefits actually do SPEND their limited amount of money virtually immediately in local shops ect whereas giving a tax cut to someone who already has a large amount will often mean that person just goes out and buys an expensive foreign car thus making even worse our balance of payments problem or will just stuff it into their bank account.

One good thing Jeremy Hunt done in his recent budget was to create a British ISA. Now we are out of the EU, I wonder if it is possible to change the rules for Capital Gains Tax so that those wealthy people who invest in shares get less of a tax bill if they invest in only British companies and especially if they put money into the shares of British companies in new technology sectors such as electric batteries ect.
Giving wealthy people a tax cut can be done in ways that help investment in Britain’s future rather than just a simplistic tax cut to them that will only worsen our balance of payments or lie idle in a bank account.

Self awareness is not a strong point, with too many leading Tories! Yes, ex Chancellor of The Exchequer, Trussbanger, is not noted for it nor is Liz Truss.
Putting him in charge of the country’s finances was akin to putting Count Dracula in as manager of a blood bank.
What ON EARTH were Tory MPs thinking when they put Liz Truss and the diminutive Indian despot through to the final two of their leadership contest in 2022?
The Labour Party’s leading figures must have ordered several crates of Krug Champagne when they did and then proceeded to get extremely drunk.

I really don’t know why the Tories are wittering on about ‘tax cuts’, the economy ect as their disgraceful betrayal of their own voters on subjects such as mass immigration, crime ect are going to sink them anyway.
The die is cast and has been for quite a few months now. Fancy holding a politically risky referendum on EU membership, arrogantly believing it would be won for Remain, getting the ‘wrong’ result and then contemptuously ignoring what the little people were trying to say to you.
It is clear that a large number of people who voted Leave wanted TOUGHER immigration controls NOT weaker but that is what we have got. The BBC done a survey just after the vote which showed that the most likely indicator that someone had voted leave was if they wanted to see the death penalty reintroduced ie it is clear that the most socially conservative elements of the electorate voted to leave and those same people mostly wanted to see a less high rate of immigration.
The Tories have comprehensively misread the result and believe the socially liberal and globalist people in the electorate voted leave! No, most of them voted Remain.

Agree with much of that. Not all. That correlation between Leave and pro-death penalty is doubtful, though. Certainly I favoured leaving the EU, but am not pro-death penalty, though (as you know) I make distinction between that and social executive action in times of emergency.

Of course, it would be wrong to suggest there was an exact correlation between those who voted to leave the EU and people being in favour of the death penalty returning as there were some who voted leave and were passionately opposed to capital punishment. However, the BBC reported on a survey done a few weeks after the vote and it found there was a high degree of overlap between death penalty supporters and people who had voted to leave. This was the case across income groups/social classes etc.

The House of Lords should either be abolished or elected in some way. However, if it were to be democratically elected by a PR system it would immediately have more democratic legitimacy than that undemocratic national disgrace called the House of Commons/Treason.
In other words, real democratic reform of the House of Commons has to be done FIRST and only then should consideration be given to either abolishing the second house (most countries do not have bicameral parliaments) or making it democratically elected.

That last tweet from the Portuguese guy encapsulates perfectly the disgrace and utter failure of this pathetic, anti-British, globalist PC, shambolic ‘government’ and why they are due to get an almighty kicking from the electorate whenever they are brave enough to go to the country.

America’s grotesquely irresponsible proxy war against Russia using Ukraine needs to end soon for the benefit of Ukrainians primarily so that they aren’t killed more than they have been so far and for Europe including us more generally-speaking.
If Trump wins in November, hopefully he will end it.

Perhaps obviously, I should prefer Russia to take back control of about half of present Ukraine (everything east of the Dnieper, and the entire Sea of Azov and Black Sea coastal zone to a depth of about 50-100 miles, including the city of Odessa), leaving as a rump Ukrainian territory about a half of all present Ukraine, centred on Lvov.
Having said that, even an armistice with the lines frozen where they are now must be better than interminable desultory warfare getting more destructive at greater distances from the front..
Time is on the side of Russia. The Kiev regime’s manpower shortage, combined with the zero birthrate and shrinking population, are the main factors, together with the Kiev regime’s relative lack of arms and ammunition.
If Trump can stop American weapons and American logistical and intelligence support, the war will *have* to end within weeks of the decision.
