What is the Israeli/Jewish excuse this time?
In reality, everything that has been happening in all parts of occupied Palestine relates to the plan to settle immigrant Jews everywhere, then to expand Israeli Lebensraum and to create, over time, a “Greater Israel”:


“It’s not hard to figure out why Reform is now surging in the polls.
Millions of hardworking, tax-paying, law-abiding people in this country are utterly frustrated & fed-up with the elite consensus that has been imposed on them from above for the last 30 years.
An elite consensus that’s defined by a deliberate and extreme policy of mass, uncontrolled immigration which is making us poorer not richer, is driving crime and ushering in millions of people from culturally inferior and incompatible nations.
An elite consensus that’s given us broken borders which make a mockery of our claim to be a self-governing, sovereign nation, are allowing an assortment of murderers, rapists and criminals onto our streets, and which our so-called “leaders” refuse to fix because they’re more interested in helping strangers than protecting their own citizens and children.
An elite consensus that’s ripped open our economy to a rampant and relentless globalisation that benefits an alliance of urban elites, global corporations and immigrant workers but which is smashing the working class apart and hollowing out our national economy.
And an elite consensus that would rather see Britain waste billions of £££ overseas each year on foreign aid and trying to maintain our failing asylum system than redirect all this money from British taxpayers into fixing Britain and helping British families before reaching out to the wider world.
For much of the last thirty years this broken consensus has been imposed on the Forgotten Majority in this country by both Left and Right, by both Labour and the Tories —by the Uniparty. They are the architects of the disaster that you see around you today, of the managed decline of a once great and proud nation that you used to know and love but today no longer recognise.
And so just as you’d never invite back an architect who took the home that had been loved for generations and destroyed it the people out there are now starting to reject the architects of what they see around them today —endless, unavoidable, embarrassing, never-ending national decline.
They might not think Nigel Farage has all the answers. They might not think Reform is the perfect vessel. But what unites them is a feeling that is far more powerful than any one leader or party can convey. “We want our country back”.
This is why we are now starting to see wholesale and historic change in the national polls and, soon, the country. Because what I think we might be about to witness in British politics is not just a revolt against an out-of-touch elite minority but a full scale revolution against the Uniparty and all that it stands for.”

“‘No medical evidence’ to support Lucy Letby’s conviction, expert panel finds.
Babies the former nurse Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering were in fact the victims of “bad medical care” or deteriorated as a result of natural causes, an expert panel has concluded.
Outlining what the senior Conservative MP David Davis described as “one of worst injustices of recent times”, the international team told a press conference there was “no medical evidence” to support claims of deliberate harm.
A panel of experts, chaired by Dr Shoo Lee, examined the cases of 17 babies whom Letby was charged with murdering or harming at the Countess of Chester hospital in north-west England.
Lee, an emeritus professor at the University of Toronto, said said the 14 experts had found “so many problems with the medical care” of the babies and nothing to support the claim they were attacked. “In summary, ladies and gentlemen, we did not find any murders,” he told a press conference in Westminster on Tuesday.”
[Guardian]
I personally have no fixed opinion at all on the matter (and have not read up on it in any great detail), but the way that the NHS now is, I do find it impossible to ignore the possibility that the unfortunate babies in question were not murdered but simply died as a result of poor care.
Also, if the Lucy Letby convictions turn out to have been unsafe, it would not be the first time that events triggering huge public anger will have also resulted in egregious miscarriages of justice.
David Davis has courage. He would have made a far better leader of the Conservative Party than any who actually were elected in the past 25-30 years.

I wonder how much of that nonsense is going on in Hampshire, where I live…
Britain has no proper governance, whether central or local.

This is akin to child abuse. I myself was taught to swim very early (by my mother, who was a championship-level swimmer and coach) but not like that! It might give the child an aversion to water.

The Rhodesian Bush War & Its Forgotten Foreign Fighters
Was it really a fight against Communism?

Yes, it was in some ways. The Rhodesian Front party government of Ian Smith was fighting a war not just to preserve white rule but also so the country could help to slow down or stop the spread of Communist influence in Southern Africa. White-ruled Apartheid SA was also engaged in that struggle and up until the last few years of white minority rule in Rhodesia SA gave Ian Smith’s regime military/economic help and diplomatic cover. The ‘freedom movements’ in Rhodesia/Apartheid SA and then Portugese-ruled Angola and Mozambique received help from the Soviet Union.

And when the revolution succeeds, Matt Goodwin, a new crime of aiding and abetting/intentional genocide of the British nation will be put on the statute books. When many Establishment globalist politicians are found guilty of this crime (there is plenty of evidence to convict them) they will receive ‘the ultimate punishment’ ie death via the hangman’s noose.
I’m just debating with myself as to whether this will be done within the confines of a prison or done in public.
We could do these necessary deeds in Trafalgar Square. It might make for a great, entertaining day out and onlookers could enjoy themselves watching the traitors swing on a nice, stout piece of British rope whilst eating hot dogs, popcorn and drinking Coca-Cola/Tango or even an excellent English ‘Champagne’ (in reality, English sparkling wine):

A good article criticising the liberals in Westminster who oppose capital punishment on the one hand as they don’t believe the state should take a life but, on the other hand, not being consistent in their opinions when they advocate for legalised ‘assisted SUICIDE’ as this involves the state facilitating an unnatural early death by means of state intervention just as capital punishment does.
It is clear those liberals in parliament really have not thought this matter of assisted SUICIDE through properly or the possible long-term political ramifications of the proposed legislation.

A recent poll as that article indicates says 5% of people would bring back executions for shoplifting!🤔🤣🤣😃😃 Now, I am pretty ‘Right-wing’ on this death penalty subject but even little old humanitarian me would draw the line at subjecting shoplifters to hangings or another form of capital punishment!🤔🤔🤔😀😀😀🤣🤣🤣😃

I have only twice in my life seen anyone drink Johnny Walker Blue Label (which, I see from that website, can cost either £245 or £345 per bottle!).
One such drinker was a Russian MP (Deputy of the Duma), who *specified* Blue Label when ordering from the waitress at a Chinese dinner in London in 1996 at which I was one of several purely nominal hosts; we had taken over the whole of the upper floor of the expensive Chinese restaurant. Thankfully, I was not expected to pick up any part of the bill, which apparently came to several thousand pounds even then, 29 years ago.
The other such fan of Blue Label was a pole-dancer at a louche daytime bar in the New Jersey countryside, who liked me because I was wearing a Steinlager New Zealand T-shirt. It turned out that she was English, and had worked in London both for the London Underground and for the Inland Revenue! She was an “illegal” (immigrant not spy) in the USA. She came and sat with me and the American friend who had taken me to the bar (“Ruffles”), and told me her story, as people often do.
Incidentally, I do not usually frequent pole-dancing bars; it was a surprise for me on my birthday (either 1990 or 1991).

Johnny Walker whiskeys are well-regarded within the community of whisky drinkers and win quite a few awards especially the premium varieties such as the one you mention.
British Airways used to serve the more upmarket ones in their First Class. They may still do so.
I am a fan of Pimms. It is a very plesant drink on a hot British Summer’s day.

Hello John: Compared with Islamic Sharia law, your ideas of punishment are ridiculously mild:
“Theft (stealing in secret) is punished by the amputation of the offender’s right hand, and armed or highway robbery may be punished by execution, crucifixion, or amputation of hands and feet from opposite sides of the body, depending on the severity of the offence.”

Regarding the “Blue Label” (whose existence I ignored), I believe it is a lot of hype to justify charging a lot for a bottle of whisky. Who can guarantee this particular whisky has taken so many years to produce? It is just another rip-off like the famous “limited edition” watches, books, prints, etc. As my wife says: “Yes, it is a limited edition of 100.000 copies” What a joke! Look at this page and tell me I am wrong!

Claudius:
There comes a point where something is so expensive that, albeit that it is of high quality, to own it is actually vulgar, and reflects badly on the owner. It is a value-judgment as to where that point is reached but, in my own judgment, it is reached when a new car is priced at anywhere above about £150,000, where a watch is priced at anywhere above £20,000 or so, and where an item of clothing is priced above £10,000 (if custom-made) or £2,000 (if off-the-peg). Bottles of spirit? Well, maybe £200, if that.
