Typical. Already moving into “victim” mode now that the odds lengthen against them.
Exactly the same as the outskirts of Sofia (Bulgaria) seen, en passant, by me in 2001.

“The Pentagon chief announced a threat to global energy due to attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Russian oil refineries.
Lloyd Austin announced this at a hearing in the US Senate. “ Certainly these attacks could have a knock-on effect on the global energy situation ,” he said.
At the same time, the head of the American defense department spoke in favor of Kiev stopping such actions. According to him, Ukraine “is better off pursuing tactical and operational goals that can directly affect current battles.”
Ukrainian drones have attacked several Russian oil refineries since the beginning of March. Among them are factories in the Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Ryazan regions, and Krasnodar Territory.“
The West, particularly the USA, is shooting itself in the foot. It gives money, arms, and ammunition to the Kiev regime, which uses part of that to attack oil refineries in Russia. Result— the world price of oil increases, Russia makes even more surplus from the many refineries still operating normally, and the West, including the USA, pays through the nose even more for oil, making its citizens poorer and its industries less competitive.

“A trans woman who threatened to kill, blind and break the backs of woman’s rights campaigners Kellie-Jay Keen – known as Posie Parker – and Helen Joyce has been spared jail.
Layla Le Fey, 44, was handed a suspended jail sentence after the court heard she had been struggling with her mental health when she made the treats of extreme violence and arson towards the activists.
One post from Le Fey said: ‘I’m a trans woman and I’m not ashamed to admit I’d be happy to physically kick the s*** out of you and pull your eyes out and break your spine’.
In another post, Le Fey wrote: ‘If you want to prove your point that some trans people are extremely violent, I’m game’, while a third she said she wanted to burn Mrs Keen – founder of the group Standing for Women.
In a victim statement, Mrs Keen said she wanted to make clear the threats against her were made by a man.
‘A violent man committed a crime,’ she said. The violent threats had far greater impact on my husband and children than me. They are very worried for my safety.
‘Terrorising women into silence was the intent of this man. I want to make it clear, this crime was committed by a man.’
“She added: ‘This is what happens when women speak up. I didn’t want to elevate this person’s comments, so I did not respond. These tweets disturbed me and I’ve no doubt given the opportunity this person would have carried out these threats.”She added: ‘This is what happens when women speak up. I didn’t want to elevate this person’s comments, so I did not respond. These tweets disturbed me and I’ve no doubt given the opportunity this person would have carried out these threats.”

It really is about time that “we” or, more accurately, the msm, stopped referring to these individuals as “trans women“. If they need be referred to at all, “trans persons” would be more accurate and so more suitable.

Import the population, import also that population’s behavioural patterns, and its political attitudes as well.

…and that applies double or treble to the UK’s relationship with the Israeli state.
It would be interesting to know what proportion of the Jewish population in the UK has another passport and/or another nationality; particularly, what proportion carries an Israeli passport.

In fact, Tim Montgomerie is too mild. Abortion at a late stage is closer to murder than infanticide. Infanticide is usually done by a mother not long after birth; there are usually compelling extenuations of psychology and physiology. Abortion as we know it today is a planned and organized process, coldly executed, and often involving considerable profit.
A point made by me on the blog in the past, several times. Idiotic Gordon Brown, who thought himself so very clever was, I believe, the “brains” behind “working tax credits”, i.e. a system whereby employers could pay scheiss wages to their employees, who then had their pay topped-up by the State. “Welfare” for poor-paying employers. Madness.
Terrible. I am glad to say that I have never been on “Universal Credit”, but were I not exempt by reason of age I just might have been, especially since the Jewish lobby (sub nom “UK Lawyers for Israel”) had the Bar Standards Board contrive a case to have me disbarred in 2016.
We hear much about the “epidemic of shoplifting” and other crime, but I am wondering how much of that is driven by the fact that the social security/”welfare” system now does not really provide a sufficient safety net for those without paid work or private means. Not all crime is driven by real need, of course, but much is.
Basic income is probably the way forward. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income.

War with Russia would be mad, both in the ordinary sense and in the sense of mutually assured destruction, though not equally assured: Russia has 6,000+ nuclear weapons, and a handful of those would be enough to finish a small country such as ours.

At an educated guess, a substantial minority, if not a high majority, of the electorate think the same, in my opinion.
Imagine what urban America would look like after a huge catastrophe such as a nuclear war. Escape from New York? Soylent Green?

Bloody Hell! I did think this day would never come! The day when I would agree with Isabel Oakeshott! Yes, that fundamentally immoral Labour MP is basically advocating the legalised murder of defenseless, innocent babies. I am glad that Isobel opposes this abject lunacy and perverse wickedness. Many, often loony-left, people call the Conservative Party the ‘nasty party’. Well, with people like Stella Creasy in New Labour Mark 2 with added Israeli Zionist Likud Party that description could be used with some relevance to describe them..
I only wish Isobel had the same reverence for human life during the international viral pandemic.
Abortion should not be banned entirely but subjected instead to pretty heavy restrictions. There are a few, limited circumstances in which it should be allowed. Being used as a type of ever so convenient post conception contraceptive is not one of those circumstances though!

Mothers who commited infanticide used to be executed in Britain via the hangman’s noose. Rightly, because of the circumstances you state, this particular use of capital punishment was removed from the law early in the last century well before the death penalty was abolished for murder in the 1960’s.

If I remember aright, the relevant Act is or was the Infanticide Act 1926, but I am pretty rusty on the law these days, so do not take that as gospel. That Act substituted fairly light penalties, depending on various criteria being satisfied.
ps.
Just looked it up. Infanticide Act 1922 (not 1926), which was extended and penalties lessened again by the Infanticide Act 1938:

That the Labour Party has leads on two of the three classic Tory issues ie immigration and law and order pretty much says how hopeless this administration is viewed by the electorate. The Conservative Party under Mrs Thatcher and John Major was very unpopular at times but I don’t think either of them ever lost the Tory leads on those areas of governance.

A remarkable general election, it seems. A party not much liked is likely to win by a country mile, while the one that had (thanks to the vagaries of British elections) a stellar (seeming) win only 4-5 years ago looks like possibly being nearly wiped out.

If that result comes to pass it will just go to show how unwise ‘Britain’s Stupid Party’ is to be such fanatical defenders of the ‘pure’ First Past The Post electoral system. One of its very worst effects is to dramatically exaggerate relatively small swings of opinion amongst the electorate with the result you can go from ‘winning’ a decent majority to being utterly clobbered and hit on the head by the system and lose huge numbers of seats.

A Canadian 1993 electoral disaster by our Conservative Party is not the stuff of Tory nightmares any longer but a real possible scenario:

It looks like the fake Conservative Party is going to go down to a truly devastating defeat at the next election and it might even be an existential one. That is what happens when a party loses touch with its base. Act like Lib Dems and people will either abstain, vote Reform UK, for the honest version of the Liberal Democrats or vote Labour.

Yes, Russia could end this globslised business park/ economic zone ‘country’ in a very short space of time if we are as unwise to keep on poking the Russian bear until the fearsome reaction comes.
Infact, the Russian Federation wouldn’t even have to use its 1,600 odd readily deployable nuclear armed Intercontinental Ballistic Missles but just chuck a couple of their huge Tsar Bomba bombs our way. There is a very frightening film of the world’s most powerful nuclear bombs being tested on Youtube.

Indeed and also for one ‘Sleepy Joe’ Biden a US President of Irish-American heritage who makes little attempt to hide his contempt and hatred for us unlike the loony-left and too many so-called British Conservatives’ pet hate ie Donald John Trump who is of partial British descent and does seem to have a genuine liking for this country.

If there is no WW3 before November with ‘Sleepy Joe’ with a bit of luck Trump will be hopefully elected.
The Guardian is already pretty sure Joe Biden will win again. They have been wrong before about the chances of their favourite Democratic Party candidates being elected as US President so they shouldn’t be so confident. It will be quite funny if Trump does win. It is always amusing to see Guardian readers and other ‘right on’ PC globalists cry into their Starbucks lattes!

Looks like Joe Biden and Nato are intent on prodding the Russian bear to ever more unwise and downright stupid proportions and thereby risking catastrophic consequences for the United Kingdom and our Continent. Unlike the US, sitting pretty 3,000 miles away on the other side of a vast ocean, we in Europe have no real alternative other than to live in peaceful harmony and co-existence with Russia:

Unlike our nuclear weapons, Russia can launch them by the full nuclear triad ie by submarines, by nuclear bombers and missle silos. Also, some of their nukes are not just any old nukes but amongst the world’s most technologically advanced ones.
