“Ukrainian failure will be “worse than Vietnam” for the West, Johnson predicts.
If Russia takes control of Kyiv, it will become a disaster for “American leadership on the world stage” that is much greater than the outcome of the Vietnam War. Boris Johnson is sounding the alarm.
He also said he was “praying” that congressional Republicans would end the roughly $60 billion blockade of funding to Ukraine, adding: “The situation is grim and the delay is appalling.”
The British politician also said that the chaotic flight from Afghanistan in 2021 is “nothing compared to a possible Russian victory in Ukraine.”
There are exciting possibilities opening up, potentially affecting not only the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, but also Central and Western Europe, including the UK.
The USA lost any right to claim the “moral high ground” post-Cold War when it engaged in torture and/or depraved humiliation of captives and/or the innocent at Guantanamo Bay, Bagram, Abu Ghraib etc.
As for the UK, the old term “America’s poodle” covers it well enough (or “Israel’s poodle“, as far as the Westminster monkeyhouse is concerned).
“my office…is besieged by asylum-seekers. Most of them are young men, illegal migrants, who should be expelled“.
Bravo!
Truth (for once) in the Westminster monkeyhouse.
Very few choose to join any of the armed forces now, because the services have no prestige, a poor career structure (certainly for “other ranks”), poor housing and, at the end, after 3, 5, 10, 22 or however many years, are just dumped into civilian life, in many cases without non-military skills, without accommodation, and without much money.
Another point is that some potential recruits are being forced to wait for months, even a year or more, before being approved by the rotten private contractor, Serco.
Back in 1975, I was told by someone in the Intelligence Corps of the British Army that some people were desperate to join immediately because they had no roof over their heads, and literally no money. The Corps would stretch a point, and allow them to come in even before the paperwork had been completed, and before any binding commitments had been made.
Such recruits would be given accommodation (at Templer Barracks, Ashford, Kent, now turned into a housing development like everything else in England), would eat in the NCO’s mess (there are no private soldiers in that Corps), and something would be found for them to do for a few days or a week while the necessary box-ticking was being done.
If accepted, they would join the next recruit squad; if not, they might go elsewhere in the Army or, at worst, leave having had a week of food and shelter; no harm done. Not now.

Apparently, the various military units at Ashford (the Intelligence Corps at Templer Barracks, and also the much larger ordinary Army base which surrounded the guarded Intelligence Corps centre) have long since been moved on, and the area, redeveloped as housing, is now known as Repton Park, though I have just seen that there is a small reserve Army military presence nearby even today.

“George Henderson had to sell his home to repay nearly £20,000, years after ticking wrong box on carer’s allowance form.
A carer who says he was “dragged through the courts” and had to sell his home to pay back almost £20,000 in benefit overpayments is fighting to clear his name after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) acknowledged he made an innocent mistake.
George Henderson, 64, said he made a gain of just 30p a week while claiming carer’s allowance for his son John, who has learning difficulties and is addicted to heroin. He now costs the Treasury £1,000 a month more in benefits, having become homeless and too unwell to work.”
[The Guardian]
Really absolutely disgusting. Britain in 2024.
Also, look at the sentence imposed by a Crown Court judge in respect of the matter:
“He protested his innocence but was found guilty. In 2018, a judge at Preston crown court gave him a 32-week suspended sentence and ordered him to wear an electronic tag for 16 weeks.
Henderson is one of a number of carers the Guardian has spoken to after exposing how people looking after disabled, frail or ill relatives are being forced to repay huge sums to the government and threatened with criminal prosecution after unwittingly breaching earnings rules by just a few pounds a week.”
[The Guardian].
This country has become just unbelievable.
“In the high street of Crookes, a leafy hillside suburb of Sheffield with a large student population, there were plenty of people saying they would vote Labour at the next general election – but most weren’t too happy about it.
“It feels like the lesser of two evils – it’s definitely better than going back to what we’ve got,” said Amy Pattison, a 24-year-old occupational therapy student at Sheffield Hallam university. “All I know is I won’t be voting Tory. And whatever I do vote will be tactical.“
Most people said they would vote Labour for one simple reason – to get the Conservatives out of power.
“I’ll be voting for Labour. But I’m more anti-Conservative than I am pro-Labour,” said Chris Macdonald, a 30-year-old teacher. “If our voting system was different I would be tempted by other parties, but it feels like it’s Labour or Tories, and I want them out.“
[The Guardian]
That chimes with my feeling about overall voter sentiment. Few people really like the Starmer version of the Labour Party, but almost everyone wants the Conservative Party to go down (and preferably never get up again).

Perhaps, Hartlepool should keep its present Tory MP then when the mass cull of the Conservative Party happens later this year or in January 2025? She seems to have a few functioning braincells compared to 98% of their MPs.
According to the Leftie Stats twitter account when you put in the latest Yougov poll ìnto their prediction model the Tories end-up with just 15 MPs! Yougov’s poll today has the Tory Party on just 19% of the national vote with Labour on 45%.
Even if they did go down to a truely cataclysmic defeat and have just 15 MPs left (I think they will still have about 45 plus) then at least Sir John Hayes will retain the safest Tory seat in Britain of South Holland and The Deepings in Lincolnshire.
Perhaps, a real Tory like him can be the leader at long last instead of yet another of the longline of liberal globalist misfits who keep-on and on getting it so disastrously WRONG.

Yes, I also predict that there will still be at least 50 MPs for the fake Conservative Party. For them to go below that will require very extensive tactical voting, an even lower national Tory vote share, a higher Labour vote share, a higher Lib Dem one or for Reform UK to split the ‘Centre-Right’ to ‘Right-wing’ vote more.
The Tory vote share in their top 50 seats will normally be well over 60% and sometimes even as high as 76%. My seat of Brentwood and Ongar in Essex which is their tenth safest seat is unlikely to fall as the Tory vote share here is 68% whilst in nearby Castle Point (Canvey Island) it is 76% and their third safest constituency.

If that voter in Sheffield is more anti-Tory than pro-Labour then it is silly to vote Labour. That is an endorsement of Labour. If you are anti-Conservative but not in favour of the Labour Party then vote for someone else or abstain. The Tories will be losing many seats purely through 2019 Tory voters simply not voting for them as the recent by-elections have dramatically shown. In 1997, they lost quite a few seats purely by 1992 Tory voters ceasing to vote for them.
Sheffield Hallam is a very unusual constituency where the Tories are in third place and the Liberal Democrats are second (it was Nick Clegg’s seat) so as long as people don’t vote Tory there then either a Labour MP or a Lib Dem one will be elected in an election in which the Tory national vote share will be collapsing.

Yes, even though the Tory government removed the previous Supplementary Voting (SV) system for London Mayoral elections and instituted First Past The Post instead that is very unlikely to help the Tory candidate.
Put simply, Sadiq Khan is very unlikely to lose because he has an ethnic ‘block vote’ who will always vote for him regardless of his performance in office. Susan Hall could only win if she either got a lot of ethnics to vote for her which is unlikely because many of them are muslims who despise the Conservative Party for its rabid backing of the Zionist bandit state or she ran-up extraordinary levels of support from British voters in the outlying suburbs. London doesn’t now have as many British voters as it used to have who can provide a solid enough core for the Tory vote.

National Socialist Germany, in peace and war, did nothing not done also in some measure (often more so) by other states (Soviet Union, USA, Britain, France etc) in the 1930s and during WW2, with the sole exception of the fabled “gas chambers” (which did not exist except, possibly, in small experimental prototype, anyway).
LikeLike
Well, I do believe those gas chambers existed and not just in an experimental way but in a more significant form and were used to murder many Jews and other groups. One of the worst affected groups of people were the often non-Zionist/anti-Zionist Ultra-orthodox communities of Eastern Europe such as those previously found in countries like Hungary and Romania. Those communities were nearly entirely wiped-out. If you were to go to those places today you would find very few of those type of Jews. Mere emigration alone doesn’t fully explain the vast diminuation of their numbers.

There is no real evidence for mass “gas chambers”. I do accept that Jewish communities were “ethnically cleansed”, as people now say, in those days (early 1940s), partly by German forces, at least equally-often by Ukrainians, Poles, Russians etc. Mostly shot. Ironically, of course, Jews then did similar things to Palestinian Arabs during the ethnic war or “Nakba” in Palestine, around and after 1948.

The Zionist state and its wicked, evil, utterly depraved supporters such as the unelected diminutive despot in No. 10 and the excretable foul wretch that is ‘Sir’ Keir Starmer should be ashamed they are supporting a genocide in our own era today in occupied Palestine.
Genocide doesn’t have to involve gas chambers. It can be done by other means.
As for Zionist Jews supporting the Zionist state’s genocide, words fail me. The persecuted have become persecutors! Those who have been on the receiving end of genocide are supporting a genocide now. Shameful!

I think that one has to ask why this one supposed series of events, some 80+ years ago now, is thought to be so fragile, as accepted “history”, that it requires any dissent from the “approved” details to be prohibited by severe laws in some countries. What is the agenda behind it?

Adolf Hitler personally and his party, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, were devoted believers in the virtues of capital punishment. Is it not too fanciful to suggest he and they were authoritarian enough to utilize their avid backing of the ‘ultimate punishment’ of a state and just extended this principle to groups they thought were as criminal as your average murderer? Hitler, Himmler and company probably thought of the Holocaust as just a mere matter of getting permanently rid of a criminal element in society ie like the death penalty but on a much bigger scale.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Germany
One reason organisations such as Amnesty International and other ‘human rights’ campaigners are so opposed to the death penalty is because if a government believes some people (even murderers) are simply not worthy of living then it is all too easy for a government with totalitarian inclinations to go down a slippery slope and extend the principle to groups in society they don’t like.
I do not know if Amnesty International have a position on abortion or not. To be consistent in their belief that the death penalty can never be justified for any crime they should oppose abortion, or, at least in all circumstances but the most extreme ie abortion being required to save a mother’s life.
If you are against the principle of the state having the power to kill you should be opposed to abortion being used in at least the vast majority of circumstances.
Of course, in some ways, Amnesty International’s position on the death penalty is a bit of a nonsense since virtually all states historically and today have the right and the power to kill as nearly all countries have armed forces and many arm the majority of their police officers with guns.
