David Lammy
A senior adviser to Foreign Secretary David Lammy has questioned how much people will mourn the death of Prince William, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The comment by Ben Judah, the Labour adviser who has been described as ‘Lammy’s brain’, is one of a string of astonishing remarks he has made that the Conservatives have branded republican and ‘anti-British’.
Mr Lammy is facing a mounting whispering campaign within Sir Keir Starmer’s Government over his future as Foreign Secretary.
He has also caused a headache for Sir Keir with past tweets about Donald Trump – who could be just ten days away from returning to the White House – that included describing him as a ‘woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath’ and ‘no friend of Britain’.
One well-placed source said: ‘Lammy will be allowed a bit longer in the job, then someone more savvy such as [Northern Ireland Secretary] Hilary Benn will get the gig.’“
So “Lammy’s brain” is one Ben Judah, a Jew, whose ancestors came from Baghdad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Judah.
Of course, thick-as-two-short-planks Lammy does need intellectual support: see
A typical scenario, of course.
I have to concede that I agree with the said Judah’s view of the Commonwealth:
“In an article for the Unherd website in 2022, Mr Judah was also dismissive about the Commonwealth – to which Sir Keir has this weekend been paying homage at the summit in Samoa.
Mr Judah wrote about the Queen: ‘We pretended with her and for her that the Commonwealth was real, that there was love and affection for her, or for us, in countries we’d conquered and lost, that we were still a great power.
‘And if not an empire, then she ruled its heir. As she aged, shrinking into her clothes, it became clear there wasn’t enough there, behind the insignia of government, to hold us up in the world.’“
[Daily Mail]
There was, in decades past, a discussion to be had about whether Britain could “punch above its weight”, partly via the Commonwealth. Soft power etc.
One is reminded of how the late great Maurice Oldfield, one-time Chief of SIS/MI6, cultivated foreign students at Oxford or Cambridge likely to become leaders of Commonwealth states. Sometimes, after they had already started on a political-career path. Notably, Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore.
However, such activity is largely the filling in of gaps; a substitute for the real geopolitical power exercised by the British Empire.
As things now are, the Commonwealth seems to be largely a way whereby Britain gives money to those who, increasingly, are rather hostile to the British people whose money they take. Some, such as Mozambique, which never were colonies in the first place, have latched onto British aid by joining the Commonwealth.
Better to cut them all loose now. Take away the ricebowls of the former colonies. Stop playing the convoluted chess defence which Commonwealth diplomacy has become.

Final thought: a picture of Britain in its final (?) decline— a thick-as-two-short-planks and massive-chip-on-shoulder black “diversity hire” Foreign Secretary, “advised” by a Jew far more intelligent than his boss. Which is more inimical to the real interests of the British people?
Where are the (real) British?

The above photograph is of a senior police officer (in the rank of Chief Inspector), recently appointed district commander of the semi-rural and coastal area of Hampshire where I live. Note the “rainbow” pin on his tie, presumably displaying allegiance to, or acquiescence in, the socio-political “woke” agenda.
The police have gradually become overtly politicized, not in party-political terms but in socio-political terms.
Doncaster Sheffield Airport (opened 2005, closed 2022)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doncaster_Sheffield_Airport#Airport_hotel_and_car_parks
“A Ramada Encore chain hotel opened on 10 November 2008, with a 102-bed capacity.[57] It is situated less than ten minutes walk from the Terminal building. However since the closure of the airport it is now used to hold immigrants awaiting decisions on their asylum cases so is no longer open to the public.“
102 beds. A whole, quite large, hotel.
102— not even a third (sometimes, not even a tenth) of the numbers of migrant-invaders arriving on the “small boats” (or ferried in by Border Farce or RNLI boats) every day. That’s not even counting the “legal” immigrants arriving every day (literally thousands every single day).
The political liars, and msm liars, do not even want to seriously confront the issue of the migration invasion (all of it, not just the “small boats” part). Eventually, it will collapse this society, not decades in the future but in a relatively few years. You can already see it happening, gradually but visibly.
Look at that airport hotel. Destined, as it once seemed, to service British people travelling on business or on holiday, but now merely yet another dustbin for rubbish from all over the world.
Britain itself— a dustbin for untermenschen. It makes me both sad and angry.
As for that airport, I have never been there. I was due to fly from Exeter to Doncaster in 2007, and had a ticket, but an unexpected event meant that I had to be a no-show. I believe that the flight-time would have been only about half an hour.

I do not usually repost tweets from notorious Jew-Zionist Twitter/X accounts, but the individual in question has a good point here.
I might add that I have noticed that South Wales seems to have a very serious problem with crimes of violence, most of which (in contradistinction to the situation in London and much of England) cannot be lain at the door of the non-European population.

I suppose that the sentence was so lenient (the defendant will be released within 12 months, i.e. 40% of 30 months) because he has lost his job in the police, has been banned from being a policeman in any Welsh or English force for life, and may well be “on the dole” for years after his release.
For the sake of clarity, I do not agree that the wife and mother who got 31 months for a few tweets that few saw and none acted upon should have been imprisoned (or prosecuted at all).
Looking at his Wikipedia entry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Amesbury], he seems a typically-dim Labour MP, even leaving aside his evident thuggery.
Incidentally, the police state that “no arrests have been made“, which makes me ask, “why not?“… I bet that if I behaved as he has done, the police would arrest me.

What a decent, noble man Peter Lynch was! I am sure he DID NOT commit suicide, he was a brave man of strong character who cared for his family and his country. People like that do not kill themselves. I bet he died of a heart attack or, perhaps, he was beaten up and he died as a consequence of it. I suppose his body has not been released and there has been no report or inquiry about the cause of his death.

I do not know whether an inquest has yet been held. Every death of that sort is subject to an inquest in the Coroner’s Court, though. Coroners in England are usually doctors.

If Ben Judah is “Lammy´s brain” he has proven to be a failure. Mind you, the expression “Lammy´s brain” is a perfect example of an oxymoron (LOL)
PS: Having said that, I agree with you about Judah´s analysis of the Commonwealth. Perhaps, those were the only sincere words he ever uttered.

So Trump is alleged to be no friend of Britain. That is a matter of debate but I have yet to see real evidence of emnity on his part towards us UNLIKE with the present President Biden who is of Irish-American origin and has their usual chip on their shoulder attitudes towards the United Kingdom. Biden created trouble over the NI Brexit Protocol border arrangements along with Irish-American senators in his party and Nancy Pelosi.
The Democrats are usually the more anti-British of the two major parties and that is probably due to the fact the British descended voters in America normally vote Republican in greater numbers in contrast to the Democrats’ voting base of Irish-Americans, Jews and other non British origin groups.
Replacing Lammy with almost anyone else would be an improvement. His Majesty’s Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs should show some measure of decorum and diplomatic behaviour towards other foreign leaders and countries. He is apt to not do this and let off steam in public.
Yes, Hilary Benn would be better.

Well done, Switzerland. There is much to admire about that country. Whilst I am not sure having referendums every five minutes is a hugely brilliant idea, it does show an impressive commitment to democratic principles along with their using Proportional Representation in their parliament.
Yes, Switzerland beats us hands down on being democratic. We are in the same room as far as that is concerned with Belarus as we and them are the only European countries to use the archaic, out of date, unfit for purpose, undemocratic fraud of stand alone First Past The Post for parliamentary elections.
Switzerland also keeps out of foreign conflicts. If only our governments were neutral like that then we might be as wealthy as they are.

Yes, the US is deeply implicated in the Zionist state’s abuses ect as it is that country’s main backer in the world but, sadly, we are not entirely without blame either. Under a succession of British governments dating back to Tony Bliar’s one (no prizes for guessing who provided a large part of Labour Party funds when he was leader ie Zionists ) we have become a strong supporter of the bandit state as well. It is time we adopted a more balanced and measured approach towards Israel as the Foreign Office would have done up to 1997.
One unwise thing President Trump done in office was to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Mr Netanhayu would have taken great pleasure from that and it has emboldened him to act in the way that he does.

Trump knows that he needs the Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby behind him, or at least not hostile to him.
