Confused woman supports mass immigration, describes herself for reasons unknown as “upper middle-class“, and seems to be brainwashing her daughter into being a feral freak. Not “everything wrong in Britain in a three-minute clip“, but quite a lot of it…
Was the interviewer the once-prominent “Millennial Woes”? Maybe just someone who looks and sounds like him. Not sure.
If only Africa had had a Congo (river), a Niger, a Nile, a Zambezi, or a “great grey-green greasy Limpopo” (among others)…oh, wait…
As the Southern States would once have said, “uppity“…
People opposed to Tommy Robinson have said on Twitter/X that “Robinson” has crowdfunded about £100,000 for legal defence, only to plead Guilty. Well, I do not know about that, but the implication seems to be that the crowdfunder was a “scam” or “grift”, because of the Guilty plea.
Well, that last seems wrong to me because, firstly, “legal defence” does not necessarily mean that the defendant is going to plead Not Guilty. Also, much of the expense is incurred prior to trial, though of course that will be more the case when the plea is going to be a Not Guilty.
Having said that, £100,000 (if that is the amount raised) is an absurd amount for what was supposed to be a 2-day trial in the magistrates’ court (at the rebuilt former Marylebone mags, now renamed Westminster mags, it seems, looking at video clips; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Magistrates%27_Court). I myself appeared there as Counsel once or twice, but about 30 years ago. All human life passes through there…
So anyway, Tommy Robinson has been sentenced to 18 months. 40% of 18 months is around 6-7 months. He will be out again by next May, at latest and, perhaps, not quite £100,000 the richer.
I have often noted on the blog my view of Tommy Robinson, i.e, that he is one aspect of “controlled opposition”, and seems to be pro-Israel, though that may or may not be a tactic to get the Jewish lobby off his back, as with Trump (arguende).
A Father Gapon type [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgy_Gapon].
Still, the movement around Tommy Robinson has moved the “Overton Window” a bit, as do all political activities. To my mind, “Robinson” has nothing to offer the British people ideologically or otherwise, but, as with Reform UK, that “Window” has been moved, continues to move, and may (despite the “controlled opposition” or “steam valve” aspects) make it easier for a real social-national movement to emerge and capture hearts and minds, if the British people continue to be let down and frustrated.
…and that is even more true of the real British population. Blacks, browns, Arabs, Jews in the UK all have more children, per capita.
The huge and continuing increase in the UK population is almost entirely by reason of mass immigration. Not only that, but immigration by some of the least pleasant, most backward racial or sub-racial peoples of the world. Britain as dustbin.
Anyone travelling to Israel in the next 6-12 months takes his life in his hands.
Finland was mad to join NATO. It is now a potential battlefield, which was not, realistically, the case before 2023.
Result— Europe pays more for the same (often literally the same) product, thanks to the stupid sanctions against Russia.
Sounds as though, if Trump and Vance can win the upcoming election, there might be a breath of fresh air in international relations.
That Amesbury idiot seems to think that he is a tough guy. Time will tell.
Starmer— a scarcely-elected ex-bureaucrat tickbox lawyer, completely unfitted for his present high office.

“Support for Putin is growing in Central European countries. Support for the Russian president is growing in the countries of Central Europe and threatens to spread to the Czech Republic as well, writes “Politico” and emphasizes that it is predicted in Brussels circles that the pro-Russian bloc in the heart of Europe will continue to grow in 2025.“

Apropos Tommy Robinson. His dimwitted followers are flooding Twitter with posts claiming he has been jailed for “telling the truth”. This is clearly false, he has been jailed for breaking a court order – twice.
Yesterday evening Richard Tice, leader of the Reform Party, distanced himself from Tommy Robinson and “that lot” as he called Tommy’s followers. “Distanced himself” is probably a bit of an understatement actually and Tommy’s followers are fuming and tweeting that they are the ordinary people of Britain and that MILLIONS of Brits agree with them but watched last weeks protest from home.
As we discovered during the Corbyn years, voters don’t like the far left or the far right, so Tommy’s merry band have no chance.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of those Christian Zionist nutcases in the US Republican Party. This probably explains why the Republicans are pro-Israel along with the fact America has a very powerful Zionist Pro Israel Lobby. American foreign policy is also strongly in favour of Israel because the Zionist state can act as an American outpost in the Middle East and be a bulwark for US interests in the Middle East.
The Republicans have historically had many Evangelical Christians in their ranks. Many are fervent Trump supporters and a lot are Christian Zionist loonies for Israel.
It is one thing being an Evangelical Christian but that shouldn’t necessarily mean one is a pro-Israel Christian Zionist fanatic.
Many Jews in Israel do not like Christians and don’t respect the Christian religion even though it belongs to the Holy Land just as much as Judaism and Islam does.

The Rev. Stephen Sizer has written two books on Christian zionism, he debunks it expertly, but of course it ultimately cost him his career, as his work upset the permanently offended.
Americans seem to me, to be very gullible and under educated, particularly in matters of the world outside the US. Their soldiers are their new God, the ones who bomb countries to smithereens, so that Americans can “enjoy their freedoms”. You would have to be very ignorant to believe that killing people thousands of miles away is necessary for you to enjoy life, but they do.
Of course that is also exactly what Tommy Robinson wants Brits to believe too. Everything becomes crystal clear and makes sense only after people have their eyes opened to who is doing the finagling.

America will probably go to war with China eventually. Our moronic cretins in the Labour and fake Conservative Party will no doubt join in with that war even though we should have no real problem with China. About the only thing we should criticise China for is when they oppress the people of Hong Kong by not keeping to the agreement we signed with them.
America needs to learn to live with China. It is a rising economic power and this is unlikely to slow down let alone stop. I remember watching a documentary series on the BBC detailing Japan’s economic miracle from the 1950’s to 1980’s and one episode showed American car workers smashing-up Nissans and Toyotas on freeways. It was not Japan’s fault that they built better and more reliable cars at cheaper prices than American car companies. America learnt to live with Japan’s economic miracle and they will will need to do this with China’s inexorable rise as well.

I dislike the Chinese (and general Oriental) attitude to animals, but I have to concede that the West, inc. UK and USA (even more) are far from perfect in that regard. However, I hear that that Oriental disregard for animal welfare is changing.
America is and perhaps should be isolationist. I am not “an Atlantic man”.
China (as I see it) is not —yet— of a mind to conquer Eurasia, but is already slowly infiltrating into the former Soviet Far East and Eastern Siberia.
As for the UK somehow fighting China, why? Anyway, any Brit involvement would be a mere add-on to US activity. A very minor add-n, too.

I would not want us to be involved in a war with China but it would not be me making the decision. It would be a gormless globalist anti-British cretin like Two Tier Keir or whatever moron the useless Tories have next such as Kemi Badenoch! The anti-British cretins of fake Conservative and Labour do not seem to want to keep us out of unecessary wars eg Iraq War 2.

If there is war with Russia, that will be the end of the UK in any recognizable form, even if the war does not go nuclear.
I cannot see any likelihood of war with China, which is so huge in area and population, and so far away.
When I look at the cretins now running SIS/MI6 and MI5, the armed forces etc, let alone the Government and overall System political milieu, I have little faith in the resilience of this country, especially now that a very large minority of the population is not really British.

Hello. Regarding Asians’ attitudes towards animals, I can certify that they are changing and for the better. I happened to follow 3 Korean YouTube channels about dog welfare, and I noticed a lot of people, particularly those under 40, are very aware of our duty towards our pets. I have seen some wonderfully equipped vet hospitals and surgeries, and the attitude of the staff is, as to be expected, wonderful.

Africans and most non-white peoples can not govern themselves effetively. Most ex British colonies are utter disasters except for Hong Kong which China is running into the ground a bit and Singapore. That city state is undoubtedly the prime shining success story since its independence from us and that is due to several factors one of which is the mostly Chinese origin population. The East Asian peoples can certainly run their own countries well. Well, their average IQ is said to be about 105 whereas European countries are around 100.

It is horrible and deeply regretable that Canada has legalised euthanasia. It poses many ethical problems and as Canada and other juridisdictions demonstrate the ‘slippery slope’ is all too real. We should not legalise it.
Canada nowadays is loony-left central. Whatever happened to ‘British North America’?

While I admit that I have never been there (and that most people I know who have been have liked it), I feel that Canada slightly (not entirely) lacks identity. Such a huge country, but I believe with almost all of its population living no more than 100 miles, if that, from the US border. A French-Canadian from Quebec wrote famous lines: “my country is not a country; it is the winter.”
Add to that the waves of immigration over the past 50 years, and it may be (I am only speculating) that a real identity and sense of place is lacking/

I am opposed to legalised euthanasia for many reasons one of which is that I think it is immoral and for some practical reasons too ie whatever restrictions are placed upon its availability will not be watertight and will tend to become ever more loose over time as Belgium, Oregon and Canada demonstrate. Also, one very worrying and sad side effect has been it has encouraged a ‘culture of death’ and therefore helped to raise ‘normal’ suicide rates in these jurisdictions. No government or parliament should do anything that can help to increase the national suicide rate.
On the other hand, I might be in favour of compulsory euthanasia for middle-class, loony-left, anti-British nutters like in those tweets above. Think of that as a much needed national clean-up operation.

And, Amanda Achtman, how many Stamford Bridges or Old Traffords would we need to demonstrate the loss of the estimated 10 MILLION BABIES lost to abortion in Britain since David Steel’s infamous Abortion Act 1967?
All of those lives lost many of which were completely needless and now globalist politicians say we need mass immigration in order to pay our pensions etc.
Does anyone get the feeling that continual mass immigration and excessively liberal laws on abortion were part of a joint plan from our globalist politicians to swamp us with mass immigration whilst providing a good excuse for it ie a low national birth rate?
Abortion should not be banned entirely but there should be heavy restrictions on its availability.
