The rise of Reform UK in Wales
“Crossing Gwent Square on a cold, crisp day in Cwmbran, married couple Maxine and David Griffin have more in common with each other than they did a year ago.
In July, the Brexit supporters voted for the Reform UK party in the constituency of Torfaen; it was the first time they had both voted for the same party.
Maxine, 52, who works in a cafe, had previously voted Conservative, while her husband, 55, a postal worker and union representative, had always voted Labour.
Lack of faith in politics is a running theme among the voters the Guardian interviewed; the vast majority said they would not vote for any party.
But of those who would vote, Reform UK supporters were easy to find.
A poll by Survation, commissioned by Reform UK, put the party at 20% in a Senedd election – ahead of the Conservatives at 17%, but behind Labour at 30%.
A separate unaffiliated poll by Opinium, which was based on Westminster voting intentions, suggested 26% of voters in Wales would vote Reform compared with 24% who would vote Labour…“
[Guardian]
Worth reading, not least because a similar trend may be seen in England as well.
News from the migration invasion
“Final asylum seekers have now left the Bibby Stockholm
Most claims from 400 men on vessel moored in Portland, Dorset have been processed, with majority accepted.
A Home Office team has been processing claims from the 400 men housed on the boat. A significant majority are understood to have been granted asylum and most are expected to leave the area for accommodation elsewhere. About eight were left on the vessel when the final residents departed on Tuesday.
The local council has said that none of the men moved from the vessel will be based in other accommodation in Dorset, with reports saying they are likely to be moved to other areas including Cardiff and Wolverhampton.“
[Guardian]
So there it is. Exactly what I predicted would happen not only in relation to that barge, but also in relation to the invasion as a whole— “processing” (rubberstamping) quietly happening, with about 90% of the “asylum-seekers” allowed to stay in the UK. The rest? Still allowed to stay until removed (which will never happen to the refused individuals, or 90% of them, under System government, as now under Starmer-Labour).
That’s the way Starmer operates— dishonestly, sneakily, and against the interests of the British people. A hateful individual.
In other words, at least 396 of the 400 on that barge will be staying— c.360 because accepted as “genuine” “asylum-seekers”; the other 36 because, though not accepted as genuine even under the UK’s Mickey Mouse immigration laws and rules, they will not be deported. What about the 4 who might be deported (the report implies 8 persons)? Probably willing to go voluntarily, if given a bit of baksheesh and a free ticket.
Incidentally, note in that Guardian report that “a significant majority are understood to have been granted asylum and most are expected to leave the area for accommodation elsewhere“.
So somewhere around 360 or more single men are now going to be given hotel accommodation and, either immediately or before very long, flats or houses that should be going to needy British people. 360 dwelling units.
I don’t want to hear any bs from fake “socialists” about the housing crisis until or unless the same virtue-signallers accept that, without mass immigration, there would be no housing crisis.

“The British Economist counted about 100,000 Ukrainian servicemen killed since the beginning of the SMO . In addition, another 400,000 Ukrainian servicemen were seriously wounded. The publication reports that more than 0.5% of Ukraine’s pre-war male population (18-49 years old) died, and “about 5% were either killed or too wounded to fight.” These losses, expressed as a percentage of the population, exceed the number of US deaths in Vietnam and Korea combined and are approaching the level of World War II, The Economist notes.“
For several decades after the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 (which gave both sides a shock), there were attempts, partly successful, to reduce the risk of nuclear war between East and West. Now, almost exactly 62 years later, that risk not only remains but is increasing almost daily. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis.
Now imagine the reverse: American missiles based in Ukraine, Poland, and other states around Russia.
The present situation is not good, and is worsening. It may only take the events of a single day to destroy most of Europe as we know it; and the events of the same or a second day to destroy large parts of both Russia and North America.
Israel cannot fight on two or three fronts simultaneously.
Imagine that as U.S. President. What were they thinking?
I seem to remember that, when I was last in Moscow (2007), the rouble was about 20 to the U.S. dollar, maybe 25. OK, so now it is over 100 to the dollar. Only a fifth of the value it held in 2007.
True, but things are not quite as simple as that. Most importantly, most Russian people (like most Americans) either do not travel internationally, or do so only to countries where the local currency is itself weak. I myself recall encountering a Russian family on the Aegean coast of Turkey in 2001. At that time, most tourist Russians went to countries such as Turkey, North Cyprus or, even more popular, the Republic of Cyprus in the south of that island.
Even in 2001, most Russians did not travel beyond the borders of the former Soviet Union. Most, the vast majority, now stay at home.
Likewise, most Russians do not buy any imported goods at all, and so are insulated from price increases caused by the decline in value of the rouble.
Those who are most impacted by the fall in the value of the rouble are the wealthy, very wealthy, “oligarchs” etc. However, many of those people are so wealthy that a fall of 4/5ths of the notional value of their (Russia-based) assets is almost unimportant, they have so much money (as is the case with the oil sheikhs and rulers of the Middle East).
On the macro level, the fall in value means that Russian products and produce are price-competitive internationally. In any case, Russia is now doing much, perhaps most, of its trade with the “BRICS” states, not with the EU or North America etc. Sanctions, of course, apply to much of Russia’s pre-2022 trade with the West.
Pro-Kiev regime tweeters on Twitter/X are crowing at the weakness of the rouble, but the noise simply amplifies their own ignorance.
I appeared as Counsel there once (actually a 3-day trial), in early 1994, when it was still Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court. The courtrooms then were very pleasant pre-WW1 panelled rooms, not at all like the —as I now see— fairly bland UK Supreme Court one.
It was my first (and one of few) Crown Court criminal trials, a “section 18” GBH with intent, which carries a maximum life sentence. My defendant, had he been convicted, would have been sentenced, probably, to 5 or 6 years in those days, he having thrown hot oil over the “victim”, then stabbed him twice with a chef’s knife. Happily for him, he was acquitted on self-defence, a result I had thought was a 50-50 possibility, though the defendant himself was sure that he would be going down, and for several years.
I remember it well, not least because a friend at the Bar (who already had a good criminal practice) later remarked, on being told by me that I had done my first full Crown Court trial, resulting in acquittal, “oh, so you got him off?!“, to which I replied, modestly, “well, he got off…“, to which his rejoinder was “no, don’t put yourself down.” Kind words. Actually, I think I did OK, in a rather green sort of way…

No need to be “mystified“. There is a transnational conspiracy to import blacks and browns into Europe, especially, arguably, into the UK. The idea was formulated by an evildoer called Coudenhove-Kalergi, and the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan has as its aim the extermination of white Europeans, and their replacement by a mixed white/black/brown population, to be ruled over by Jewish and part-Jewish persons: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_von_Coudenhove-Kalergi.
Wikipedia may call the belief that the Plan exists, “debunked“, but you have to bear in mind that the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby has a whole programme going to vandalize Wikipedia. The malicious so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] even advertized on its website a few years ago for volunteers with Wikipedia accounts to “edit” (vandalize, change for socio-political reasons) Wikipedia.
Look at the UK Prime Ministers of recent years. “Boris” Johnson, part-European, part-Jew, part Circassian Turk. Theresa May, part-Jewish. David Cameron-Levita, mixed European and Jewish. Look at the recent Conservative Party leadership election. Main candidates who were part-Jewish (Tugendhat), African (Kemi Badenoch), probably European/British but married to a Jewish spouse (Jenrick), mixed European/African (Cleverly). All members of Conservative Friends of Israel.
Indeed, look at Starmer: European (Brit) but married to a Jewish woman; all his Cabinet are members of Labour Friends of Israel.
As to the TV ads promoting mixed-race families etc, I wrote about that on the blog years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/10/tv-ads-and-soaps-are-the-propaganda-preferred-by-the-system-in-the-uk/.
The fact is that TV ads of that sort are basically socio-political propaganda; the selling of products is, in reality, secondary. Some companies as good as admit the fact. Look at the recent Jaguar car ad.
Another point is that such ads are not aimed at people of my age (68), or those of 50, 40, or even 30. They are aimed at younger people, and indeed at children, whose critical faculties are unformed, and who, seeing such ads, will come to see (or so the propagandists believe) racial-mixing, and production of mixed-race children, as normal.
“They” bring destruction everywhere.
The human cost of war, perhaps, but is this really a “war”? More like the sadistic crushing of a civilian population by a huge and mechanized machine of destruction. The Gazan civilians are almost defenceless.

Well, it is about time Wales realised that voting Labour all the time is akin to banging your head against a brick wall on a continual basis and then expecting the next time you do it a different result will be the outcome. Wales has been ultra-loyal to Labour for about a century now and what has it got for it? Labour wants to turn Wales into a ‘sanctuary’ for 99% fake ‘asylum seekers’ thus displacing the Welsh and shoving them aside. Plaid is a fake ‘nationalist’ party like the SNP and Sinn Fein are and the so-called ‘Conservative’ Party is just an increasingly weird collection of liberal-left globalists, crazy libertarian nutcases and other assorted anti-social misfits led by a Nigerian immigrant with an all consuming obession about a 0.5% minority of trans people.

Thus my view (at present), i.e. that, in the absence of real choice and real (proportional voting) “democracy”, many voters may (dependent on course on events) may start casting around for an alternative to Lab and Con, and for many that may be Reform UK, underwhelming as I find it.

When the chips are down, the so-called socialists and communists will ALWAYS side with the (((neoliberal globalists))).
We saw that in France where the supposedly “far left” Jean-Luc Melenchon obediently instructed his voters to vote for the neoliberal hyper-capitalist Emanuel Macron, enabling Macron to be reelected.
We see it in Ireland, where the supposedly “socialist” Sinn Fein is complicit in flooding Ireland with third world diversity, replacing the indigenous Irish people who Sinn Fein claims to represent. We saw even more evidence of Sinn Fein’s treason during the protests against immigration, where Sinn Fein denounced the patriotic Irish protesters as “racists” and demanded that they be imprisoned.
The British “socialist” left will do the same thing that Melenchon did, if a social-national party (or even a mildly patriotic party like Reform) appears likely to win power.
They will support Labor or the Tories, in an effort to prevent a patriotic party from winning the election.
The left always sides with the (((neoliberal globalists))) when the chips are down, because the entire purpose of the left is to divert working class White people from voting for social-national parties.
“The British Economist counted about 100,000 Ukrainian servicemen killed since the beginning of the SMO . In addition, another 400,000 Ukrainian servicemen were seriously wounded.”
The neoliberal, globalist (((Economist))) magazine is undoubtedly underestimating the real number of Ukrainian dead/wounded.
(((Zelensky’s))) commissars are kidnapping old men off the streets and dragging them to the army. Recent videos of Ukrainian army recruits on YouTube show middle-aged (and even older) men, all of whom look dejected and glum. Morale must be at rock-bottom or close to it.
(((Zelensky))) recently signed a law allowing foreigners to serve as officers in the Ukrainian military (previously, foreigners could only serve as enlisted soldiers).
(((Zelensky))) is also desperately trying to drag Britain/France/USA into the war, to save his corrupt regime from defeat.
And 20-25% of Ukraine is under Russian control, so (((Zelensky))) can’t draft Ukrainian men from those areas.
Also, in the early months of the conflict in 2022, millions of Ukrainian men fled the country to avoid being drafted, decreasing the pool of military-age men that (((Zelensky))) can use as cannon fodder.
Considering all of the above, the recruitment situation in Ukraine must be truly dire.
If I had to guess, the real number of Ukrainian dead is 500,000 to 1,000,000 and possibly even higher. The real number of wounded is probably 1,000,000 to 3,000,000.
That is why (((Zelensky’s))) commissars are kidnapping 65 year-old men off the streets of Lvov and Kiev and dragging them to the army.
I hope all of this was worth it, Ukrainians. All you had to do was allow 3 small areas of your country with pro-Russian majorities (Crimea and 1/3 of Donetsk and Luhansk provinces) to peacefully and democratically secede.
But instead, you chose to declare those regions as “terrorists” and launch military strikes since 2014. Fast forward to 2024, and a million Ukrainian men are dead, with (((Zelensky))) planning to import muslims and africans to marry the widows and daughters.
Was it worth it Ukrainians?
Maybe we shouldn’t be too hard on the Ukrainians. After all, the “was it worth it?” question could be asked of us (USA, Britain, France), since we were dumb enough to allow ourselves to be (((goaded))) into fighting a World War that destroyed Western civilization and established global (((REDACTED))) supremacy.
Still, one would have thought that the Ukrainians would have learned from our mistake. Instead, they foolishly elected the (((REDACTED))) degenerate comedian, who has subsequently sent a million Ukrainian men to their deaths.
Now the (((comedian))) is ruling Ukraine as an unelected dictator, having cancelled the 2024 elections since (((he))) knew (((he))) would lose.

Friend of Britain:
I agree wholeheartedly with all of your comments.
As you say, inter alia, the self-describing “Left” often joins with globalist capitalism supporters to defeat so-called “far right” (esp. social-national) candidates. France is, as you say, the prime example. There are others, including some in the USA.
I just saw this about David Duke:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duke#1991_campaign_for_governor_of_Louisiana
Duke lost, despite (as Wikipedia says) getting a majority of the *white* vote.
Duke’s opponent in the 1991 Louisiana gubernatorial election, and multikulti virtue-signaller, Edwin Edwards, was —as you probably know— a corrupt politician later imprisoned on Federal racketeering charges.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Edwards
Incidentally, I met Duke briefly once, long before his prominence; in the mid 1970s, I think 1976, at a meeting of the League of St. George held (as the main ones always were) at Kensington Library in London.

The ‘real’ Neo-Nazi party in Germany called Der Dritte Weg (The Third Path/The Third Way) wants a TOUGHER response to Russia and Putin. It openly advocates that Germany and Europe goes effectively to war with Russia to liberate Ukraine and ‘defend’ Europe. It is criticising the ‘Right-wing populists’ of the AfD (Alternative for Germany) party for being stooges of Putin and wanting to keep Germany out of the conflict. I can only assume a part of their antipathy towards Russia is a certain bitterness that the Soviet Union was a major reason for Nazi Germany’s defeat.
However, one sensible point they do make is that Europe should become a loose confederation of states and seek to build its own security and defence architecture to provide for its own defence needs. It says Germany and other European countries should leave NATO so that the Continent is not a geo political playground for the US to impose its will upon us.
I do disagree with their seeming viewpoint that Russia is not a European country. At least a third of Russia’s territory is geographically within Europe. Moscow is Europe’s most inhabited city and Russians are an Eastern Slavic European ethnic group.

From reading their website, I believe they are genuine national socialists. They want to create a ‘German socialism’ ie to do what Hitler supposedly aimed for ie a socially just society where ordinary Germans could get along if they worked hard with social mobility, law and order, strict border controls, family values etc and the government would have a ‘Germany First’ foreign policy etc.
National Socialism was supposed to be a political ideology that combined the best ideas from ‘Left’ and ‘Right’. Most people in many democratic countries are ‘centrist’ or even slightly towards the ‘Left’ on issues like the economy, taxes, social mobility/social justice, not having too wide a wealth/income gap between rich and poor and holding ‘Right-wing’ socially conservative ideas on immigration, crime, some LGBT rights etc.
They do condemm Zelensky’s regime in Kiev but still see Ukraine as a European country that needs to be defended. They are sharply critical of NATO and believe that the CIA and American dominance of NATO has helped to bring this situation about starting from 2014 when the CIA was involved in the ‘Orange Revolution’. They are right to conclude that 2022 was not the starting point of this conflict. Its roots go back further.

“I can only assume a part of their antipathy towards Russia is a certain bitterness that the Soviet Union was a major reason for Nazi Germany’s defeat.”
That is precisely the impression I get.
It is understandable that a German nationalist party would harbor antipathy towards the Russians: we shouldn’t forget that the Red Army savagely raped and tortured millions of German women and girls. In some cases the German women and girls were even violated with glass bottles, murdered, and nailed to buildings by Red Army soldiers.
To this day, the Russian government denies these war crimes, and Russian media promotes and glorifies the Red Army and even the (((NKVD))) as heroes. In Russia, it is actually a criminal offense to accuse the Red Army of war crimes.
Russian movies, TV shows, etc also promote the lie that the Red Army was benevolent and friendly.
For example, I watched a Russian TV series set in occupied Germany just after WW2. The TV series depicted the Red Army as friendly liberators, and the TV show even had the nerve to depict the Germans as ungrateful, complaining that cans of food provided by the Red Army had dents in them and demanding cans without dents.
Considering the unspeakable barbarity and savagery of the Red Army treatment of German civilians, and the fact that the modern Russian government glorifies the Red Army, it is understandable that Der Dritte Weg is anti-Russian.
However, they are making a big mistake.
We (the White race) are fighting for our survival, and we need to find allies where we can.
Russia (and Belarus and maybe Hungary) are the only White countries that aren’t fully controlled by (((ZOG))).
Wishing for the destruction of a country that is resisting (((ZOG))) is counterproductive to the Pro-White cause.
The (((REDACTEDS))) are trying to use the Ukraine War to weaken Russia and bleed Russia to death, so (((they))) can defeat and gain control of Russia.
If (((ZOG))) gains control of Russia, the last major White country outside their control will have fallen.
And without Russia, Belarus and Hungary won’t last long. Hungary is already only a milquetoast Pro-White country, “conservatism with knobs on” to quote the great British patriot Arnold Leese.
Since Russia is actively resisting (((NATO))) and global (((ZOG))) supremacy, it makes sense for Pro-White people to support Russia and hope for a Russian victory over (((NATO))).
That doesn’t mean we have to like everything Russia does (such as their glorification of the Red Army).
But Der Dritte Weg and other nationalists who are tempted to support Ukraine need to remember that modern Russia under Putin is NOT the same country as the Soviet Union under Stalin.
The Soviet Union during World War 2 was an agent of (((REDACTED))) world supremacy. That’s why so many (((REDACTEDS))) in America, Britain, etc were Soviet spies and sympathizers, such as the (((Rosenbergs))) who gave America’s nuclear secrets to Stalin.
In contrast, today the (((REDACTEDS))) hate and despise Russia, because Putin won’t allow (((them))) to rape Russia and corrupt the Russian people with (((cultural marxism))).
The (((REDACTEDS))) are doing everything (((they))) can to crush and defeat Russia, and bring Russia back under (((their))) control. (((They))) are trying to turn Russia into the Germany of the 21st century.
That is why it is very foolish for Der Dritte Weg to support Ukraine.
Wanting (((ZOG))) to defeat Russia just because a previous Russian regime (USSR) was evil, is like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Nationalists should hope for a Russian victory in Ukraine because it will weaken (((ZOG))) while strengthening the only major White country that is resisting (((ZOG))).
I am not blind to the faults of Russia (such as the glorification of the Red Army, as mentioned above).
But we need to focus on the bigger picture of what benefits the White race.
And a Russian victory in Ukraine will benefit the White race by weakening (((NATO))) and (((ZOG))).
Additionally, if Russia wins in Ukraine, they will keep Ukraine White and Ukrainian.
Unlike (((NATO))), who plan to do to Ukraine exactly what (((they))) are doing in the West: replacing the indigenous White population with africans and muslims, while relentlessly (((brainwashing))) Whites into embracing race-mixing.
The White race will benefit from a Russian victory in Ukraine. For that reason, I hope Russia will win.

Their antipathy towards Russia seems to be based-upon a regret that the Soviet Union under Stalin done more than any other country apart from ours (the Battle of Britain was surely the most important turning point of the war) to crush Nazi Germany. Also, they want to see a European continent beholden to neither Washington or Moscow and acting as a kind of ‘Third Force’ in the world which is a long held wish amongst some European nationalist groups. Of course, this vision used to be bandied about when the Soviet Union was in existence and was a Communist power. They seem to have not noticed that the Soviet Union is no more and that the Russian Federation is not officially Communist so Russia can be a part of their wish for a loose European Confederation.

I disagree that the air Battle of Britain was the turning-point of WW2. Hitler never intended to invade and occupy the UK, though a contingency plan was in existence.
The importance of the Battle of Britain was that, once Germany stopped major bombing of Britain in 1941, and once (after Pearl Harbor happened, in December 1941) American troops could be shipped to the UK with a view to invading mainland Europe, which of course happened in June 1944.
I should say that there were several important points affecting the outcome of WW2, but that *the* (most important) “turning-point” was Stalingrad (1942-43), combined with Kursk (summer 1943). After those battles were decided in the Soviet favour, the fate of the Reich was sealed and, after the Anglo-American (etc) Normandy landings of June 1944, the Reich was doomed, unless “wonder weapons” were able to provide a gamechanger. Never happened, of course. Fate…

I am afraid I disagree with you there. If the Battle of Britain had been lost, then either Britain would have been occupied or we would have sued for peace and become neutral and bowed out of the war thus giving Hitler a crucial breathing space to attack the Soviet Union. With us out of the conflict, Nazi Germany would have effectively won the war.
The German defeat at the Battle of Britain was the first crucial turning point though there were others of course. It is undoubtedly true that after 1941 the Soviet Union done more than any other power to ensure Nazi defeat.

In fact, many immigrants are high achievers in education and the ones at the bottom of heap are white working class British boys. Decades ago it didn’t matter so much because those boys would have gone into mining, ship building or manufacturing as their fathers and grandfathers did before, but those jobs no longer exist.

Yes, I see all those ridculous sanctions imposed by clownish morons like Boris ‘Benny Hill’ Johnson are having such a bad effect upon Russia’s economy – NOT – whilst worsening OUR economy.
A good piece of news today was that a British businessman was found to be deliberately breaking them. Of course, up crops that gormless, evil ,Tory PRICK, Iain Dumbo-Smith, to rant about the government not enforcing the sanctions strictly enough.
Why he wants to do this is a mystery. I thought he wanted the unemployed to get back to work as, after all, in Dunce’s view they are all good for nothing lazy bastards who live like parasites off other people’s taxes yet here he is advocating measures to make our economy weaker which will increase the numbers of unemployed people he hates so much.
If only the bigoted, evil, old Tory £z#a would just eff off and die. He has caused too many unemployed people and other benefit claiments to commit suicide yet has not been punished by either human authorities or The Good Lord for it.

The (((sanctions))) seem to have completely failed to even cause significant discomfort to Russians, let alone starving Russia into submission.
The puppet politicians such as Biden and (((Johnson))) were confidently bragging that the (((sanctions))) would bring Russia to its knees.
Instead, the opposite seems to have happened: Russia has shown that they can survive and even thrive DESPITE the (((sanctions))).
On YouTube I watched a Russian vlogger visiting some supermarkets and department stores in Russia. The shelves are fully stocked and teeming with every food one could possible want. Even Western brands are available, only slightly more expensive than before the (((sanctions))).
Russia simply imports Western brands from China, India, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, South Africa, and all the other countries that have ignored the (((sanctions))).
Instead of making Russia weaker, Russia has actually become stronger by overcoming the (((sanctions))), showing the world that the (((sanctions))) failed.

Well, you would probably be safer visiting Christmas markets in Russia than in Germany or Austria not that Russia has been immune to terrorism as this year showed. Apparently, the German police foiled a terror plot at a Christmas market only a few weeks ago.

Yes, the Guildhall is undoubtedly one of central London’s most aesthetically attractive buildings. I have sat on one of the chairs just infront of it in that picture. It also has a nice setting on Parliament Square.
The Houses of Parliament are pleasing to the eye too. It is just a shame they fall markedly short on the democratic credibility scale with only France and Belarus their rivals with respect to this and have far too many anti-British globalist traitors within.
Apart from Belarus, the United Kingdom is the only country in Europe to use the archaic and profoundly undeocratic crap of stand alone, ‘pure’ First Past The Post for its parliamentary lower house electoral system:

So you have been to Moscow? What was it like? Where did you visit? The late Queen went to Russia in 1994 and apparently had an enjoyable time as did Putin when he came here in 2003 for a state visit.
I must admit Russia is not near the top of my personal bucket list (Japan is amongst some other countries) but it still looks to be quite an interesting, if mysterious, place to go. Saint Petersburg, in particular, is an attractive city.
I think Churchill was probably correct when he described Russia as, “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”.

Yes. I was in Moscow in 1993, when it was a strange mix of Sovietist and gangster-capitalist. In fact, I was staying (co-incidentally) alongside the Chechen mafia at the Ukraina Hotel, a huge palace built in the early 1950s, mainly by German POWs, and there was evident semi-disorder not far under the surface of the city.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Ukraina,_Moscow
I did not select my hotel; it was selected for me by those who invited me. My official “invitation” (at the time necessary to get an independent visa— a Soviet holdover) was from the Academy of Sciences.
I returned to Moscow in the summer or late summer of 2007. Huge changes.
On my first trip, I visited the Kremlin, GUM (at that time almost deserted and in poor repair), and Tolstoy’s House (museum) at Kropotkinskaya. Also, a couple of museums.
I also swam every morning at the huge swimming pool “Moskva”, also in Kropotkinskaya neighbourhood. I already knew a couple of people, and dined with one family. I had to discuss things with people too, so not all my time was free.

Not so new. I believe that it was finished in the mid-1950s.
Huge. I was only about 3 floors up from the ground, but it has about 500 rooms now (I think more when I was there, but I may be mistaken). I was snooping on the top floor, beyond the level where the lift finishes, and a workman there asked me what I was doing. When I told him in Russian that I was just a hotel guest wanting to look at the view, he let me in to one of the VIP rooms a floor or two below, which indeed did have a fine view over the river and Moscow (I had the same view but nothing like as nice, being not many storeys from ground level). It also looked much cleaner and *much* less gloomy than my rather mausoleum-like room, and had one or two items that mine lacked, such as a telephone. In fact, I seem to remember that it was larger too, and may have had another room.
In fact, the photo below shows how much Moscow has changed since 1993 when I was first there. *NONE* of the tall buildings behind the Ukraina existed then:
In fact, the photo below from TripAdvisor shows the place where I had my final conversation with one of those who invited me. There was seating there then. I recall that he wondered aloud where Russia was headed. I (as a joke) pointed to that ceiling painting of 18thC style-meets-Sovietism, showing revolutionary Bolshevik themes. He answered “that is an experiment we do not wish to repeat”…
I notice now that the rooms have evidently been radically improved since I was there.

Re the adverts pushing PC globalist social engineering. As you say, they are no mere accident. They have been deliberately designed this way. Before the Bliar creature came to power in 1997, there were very few adverts like this but then a trickle started which rapidly became a flood and now it is a piss taking tsunami. Today, we Brits have become virtually banned from advertising even for luxury goods which relatively few ethnics could afford or would particularly wish to have such as Polo Ralph Lauren clothes. Even companies from foreign countries where blacks etc could be counted on your hands and toes sometimes include them in their advertising such as South Korea’s huge Samsung conglomerate. Japanese companies have included them such as Toyota but it is still rare for them to do so.
Apparently, this ‘let us include as few Britons as possible’ mentality the advertising companies have has become so obvious that even a few Labour MPs have commented upon it. To be frank, I think some sort of inquiry needs to be undertaken into the advertising industry with regard to this tendency because our increasing exclusion from adverts is just not right and is pure anti-white racism.

With regard to Ukraine, so far it seems that the Ukrainian military is holding the line (more or less), but I wonder if there will be a tipping point, perhaps in 2025 if Trump cuts off aid to (((Zelensky))).
It is quite possible, maybe even likely, that there will be a “straw the broke the camel’s back moment”, where the Ukrainian army rapidly disintegrates, like how a bridge seems fine until it suddenly collapses into the water.
I suspect that something similar may happen in Ukraine, with the proverbial camel’s back suddenly breaking under the strain, and the Russians overrunning everything east of the Dnieper.

Friend of Britain:
Yes. The Kiev-regime forces are running short, and soon will be running out, of arms, ammunition but mainly soldiers. Most of the soldiers they have are poorly trained, with low morale, and are forced to be on the front-line. Russia has or had similar problems with training and morale, but I think is probably correcting them.
I think that Putin and the “Stavka” are awaiting Trump’s inauguration. If Trump comes up with an acceptable agreement to end hostilities, Putin *may* accept it, but only if Ukraine agrees not to join NATO for at least 20 years, and agrees to give up all long-range missiles.
Alternatively, Putin may hold off ordering a general advance if Trump cuts off all aid (except humanitarian aid to Ukrainian civilians) to the Kiev regime. Arms, ammunition, money.
Failing that, I foresee the order being given for a general advance in 2025. Two main directions (east of the Dnieper)— south to north, east to west, so that all of Eastern Ukraine can be taken and then occupied. The littoral of the Black Sea too, but probably later.

NATO and its constant and needless expansion over the last thirty years is one of the causes of this conflict. How did America feel when the Russians were going to install nuclear weapons in Cuba in 1962? The US didn’t like it so they should understand how Russia feels with new NATO countries going right up to its borders. NATO should have been disbanded in 1989-1992 when the Warsaw Pact came to an end and the Soviet Union was dissolved. It is time the US stopped using NATO as a means of imposing its geopolitical will upon Europe.

Biden is doing America’s old trick of funding a combatant in Europe ie Ukraine well enough to ensure it is not defeated but, on the other hand, not funding it well enough to ensure victory thus bleeding it and its antagonist dry, ensuring masses of deaths on both sides and the US going off with the profit and being the ultimate winner of the conflict and allowing it to impose its geopolitical will. This conflict is basically a US through NATO proxy war against Russia to weaken it with Ukraine being the poor, deluded proxy in the middle not really being aware of how it is being used. The Russians are aware of the game that is being played and are not having it.

“Well, the German government probably does need such a vast building to accomodate the Office For The Protection of The Constitution as there are quite a few wild groups there such as some who do not recognise the legitimacy of the Federal Republic of Germany and want to install an absolute Monarchy under a new Kaiser or have another form of coup d’etat.”
The Federal Republic of Germany is an illegitimate entity imposed on the German people by the victories (((Allies))).
Therefore, all German patriots should hate and oppose the (((Federal Republic))), whose entire purpose is to keep the German people enslaved under the (((REDACTED))) boot-heel long enough for the (((REDACTEDS))) to replace the German people with africans and muslims and erase the German race from existence.
The illegitimate (((Federal Republic))) needs to be abolished and replaced with a racial volkstaat which will serve the interests of the German people.
“With us out of the conflict, Nazi Germany would have effectively won the war.”
That would have been great! A German victory would have ensured that Britain and all of Europe would be a safe and wholesome place for White people to live and White children to grow up in, without having to worry about being corrupted by the (((REDACTEDS))) or raped by the diversity who the (((REDACTEDS))) imported.
If Germany had won the war, Britain today would still look like Britain looked 100 years ago: a peaceful, racially homogenous, happy, and confident country, a green and pleasant land.
“If Chancellor Scholz does not get re-elected and that is looking very unlikely then Germany’s new Chancellor will be Friedrich Merz of the CDU who is a confirmed Atlantacist”
Merz is basically a male version of Merkel: a total traitor who will serve (((REDACTED))) interests and continue to import violent diversity into Germany just like Merkel did.
The CDU is a Traitor Party, just like the British Traitor Tories.
I hope that the upcoming German election will be won by the AfD, but if that doesn’t happen, then I hope the German election has a similar result to the 2024 UK election: I hope the AfD serves as a spoiler just like Reform did, causing the CDU to be annihilated and lose most of their seats, just like what happened to the Traitor Tories in July.
The traitorous CDU needs to be electorally destroyed, which will create a vacuum on the right that the AfD or another patriotic movement can fill.
