Historical note
On 20 July 1944, military and civilian backstabbers, with varying motives, attempted to kill Adolf Hitler, and to take up the reins of state in the German Reich.
The plotters varied both in their motives and behaviour, some principled and, at least in their own minds, patriots of a sort, others unprincipled and/or out-and-out traitors. Some exhibited courage, others cowardice.
History is not black and white; it must be open to discussion, dissent, and revision, which is one reason why the quasi-mediaeval laws banning such revision in several EU and other countries (sub nom “holocaust” “denial” laws) are so wrong.
Today is only the 19th of July, but I may not publish a blog post tomorrow; we shall see.

Well, this week, a narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10; I scored 6/10, and did not know the answers to questions 1, 3, 5, and 10. Annoying that I got no. 5 wrong, having been there myself a couple of times.

Reform UK people are, inevitably, inexperienced in the procedures of central and local government. Is Rentoul then saying that the fake Labour and fake Conservative parties are so wonderfully efficient etc because of their long experience in government? If so, Rentoul should think again.

Pathetic, listening to Michael Gove, the former MP and Cabinet minister (Israel puppet, Jewish-lobby puppet, expenses cheat etc) trying to bolster “Carpetbagger Kemi”. Gove is now Editor of the Spectator.
The contribution of Tim Shipman, political journalist, is more interesting, as is that of Luke Tryl, a pollster.
Incidentally, Gove’s choice as Con Party “rising star” is one Katie Lam [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Lam], a Jewish or half-Jewish woman aged 33, who, prior to election as MP in 2024, had been both a Goldman Sachs banker and a public relations person.

One of the biggest problems Australia has always had, especially since the retirement of Sir Robert Menzies [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Menzies] has been the very poor quality of its senior (and other) politicians.
Menzies, above all, supported suitable European immigration to Australia after WW2, but opposed non-European immigration, a wise dual-aspect policy that was changed by and after Gough Whitlam’s government of the 1970s. Disastrous.
Not that, in retrospect, Menzies himself always made the right decisions. Even Menzies made very bad strategic errors, really.
Seems that “the reduction of the Gaza ghetto” is not going so well for the “Israelis”.

So…will the man who was (from what one sees on Twitter/X) run over by a police van, deliberately, be charged with criminal damage to a police van by having been run over?
I recall a prison escape by bank robbers in the 1970s, in Leicestershire. When recaptured, one of the robbers was seen to have had the s**t kicked out of him, his face black and blue. Believe it or not, he was then charged with “criminal damage to a police boot” (using his face or head)! Talk about adding insult to injury.
I have no idea whether that ludicrous charge was later dropped. Maybe. Things like that happened sometimes in the days when the police were the charging authorities, i.e. before the Crown Prosecution Service was invented (1986).
Incidentally, my own (and only) contact with the underwhelming Essex Police was in 2017, when the usual malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” Jew-Zionist(s) made a typically false/malicious complaint against me. It went nowhere, of course (though was inconvenient…so the bastards owe me one…not the only one, though).
Talking about the “CAA” swine…

Iain Dale, another complete puppet of the Israel lobby/Jewish lobby. Quelle surprise— he is one of the System “conservatives” (he was selected as a Con Party candidate in 2024, but chickened-out) who think it OK that the UK is swamped by backward people(s) from all over the world.
Another “conservative” in hock to the Jewish lobby (LBC itself is owned by Jewish interests), who (in his case) lives in a luxury farmhouse in East Anglia, has a comfortable home in London as well, and makes hundreds of thousands of pounds per year. Yes, his own life will not be impacted by the migration invasion. He therefore prefers to be a traitor to the British people and their future.
Dale’s discussion there reminded me of the “Mrs Duffy moment” that sank Gordon Brown at the 2010 General Election. Both Brown and Dale refuse to see what is right in front of all our noses. Who, in that radio discussion, is the “dinosaur“? Dale, I think. Either dinosaur or cliche ostrich, head in the sand.
Does Dale have any idea about what is happening in the country, the UK, on which he purports to comment?
Incidentally, the appalling behaviour of many Afghan men (especially) is not confined to the Taliban; indeed, some of the Taliban are better than some of the others.
Oh…
That last tweet might be a bit challenging for Dale…

“THE heartbroken family of a man with Alzheimer’s say they feel ‘betrayed’ after a woman they employed to care for him stole ‘treasured’ and ‘irreplaceable’ items from the family home.
Rachel Goodman, who has a similar previous conviction, was said to have ‘exploited the family’s vulnerability in the most callous way possible’ after she admitted stealing sentimental items.
The defendant avoided immediate jail time when she was sentenced at Weymouth Magistrates Court.
Goodman, 54, was employed by Louise Woollam to care for her husband Richard, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, at their home in Shillingstone, near Blandford.
A court heard how the incident had such an impact on the family that Mr Woollam, a former RAF pilot, had to be placed in a care home.
The court heard Goodman stole items such as a diamond engagement ring which belonged to Mrs Woollam’s mother, earrings brought for Mrs Woollam by her husband, sunglasses, a watch, a snorkel, bedding, a throw, money – and a 250-year-old family heirloom.
Goodman, of Eastland Road, Yeovil, has 13 previous convictions, which includes conning an elderly woman out of £3,500 and for which she received a suspended sentence.
A victim impact statement read out in court by prosecutor, Christina Norgan, on behalf of Mrs Woollam, said: “My trust and security has been completely shattered by Rachel Goodman. Alzheimer’s is a cruel disease which has already taken so much from us.
“She exploited our vulnerability in the most callous way possible. I could not go to work as I could not trust another carer in my home. I feel betrayed and broken-hearted.”
Kenny Sharp, mitigating, said: “Maximum credit for an early guilty plea. This is a person who is struggling to come to terms with the reality of what she did. Immediate custody would have a significant impact on her two children.“
The defendant was handed a 12-month custodial sentence suspended for two years. She must also complete 12 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement days and 200 hours of unpaid work.“

Israeli-Jew psychopath cowards. Still, “what goes around comes around“. Seems that some never learn.
Even the better section of the Israeli msm admits it.
Those Israeli soldiers are members of the same group that whine constantly about alleged atrocities supposedly committed against their ancestors in the 1930s and 1940s, nearly a century ago (and “they” often make up all sorts of tales to embellish the same).
Literary note
There is a mediaeval legend, called “the legend of Ahasuerus (or Ahasverus)”, about a king who is unable to accept the divinity of Jesus Christ, as a result of which he is condemned to reincarnate always in the same race-type, unable to progress.

Regarding that degenerate who is proud to be one (of course!) I believe that his Argentinian connection comes from his father, who must be Argentinian. The surname Roca is a popular one in Spain and also in Italy, where it is spelt Rocca. Still, his membership in an association of “Argentinian professionals” is incomprehensible unless he was born in Argentina, something that Wikipedia does not mention, but I believe to be the case.
Anyway, his ethnic background is not important in this case; what matters is his open support for the LGBT lobby. In the III Reich and the Soviet Union, degenerates like him were called and considered “antisocial people”, which is why they were behind barbed wire.

People like Ian Dale have not excuse, that is why they deserve a horrible [REDACTED]. They KNOW very well what is happening but their greed and their cowardly “virtue signalling” override any decent feelings.
For different reasons, that horrible POS who stole from a family in distress also deserves a horrible [REDACTED]. This also applies to the judge who let her off the hook. I wonder why horrible people like these never get punished properly?

He once stood for the seat of North Norfolk in 2001. In 1997, the traditionally Tory constituency with a long line of Conservative Party MPs having been elected there was held by the party but by only a small margin over the Lib Dems. At the next election he became the new Tory candidate and proceeded to lose it by a decent amount of votes. It looks like the electors of the seat were not too impressed by his candidacy.

The consent of the ordinary public and the police to police them has been comprehensively smashed.

Macclesfield should not have been lost by the fake Conservative Party in the first place. It is a fairly prosperous seat in the Manchester commuter belt. Mind you, it is not as well-off as Tatton the seat of Esther McVeigh. Now, that is the real ‘Housewifes of Cheshire’/’Surrey of the North’ constituency. Remarkably, for a seat where many Premiership footballers for Manchester United live and where the Aston Martin dealership in Knutsford supposedly sells more cars than any other dealership of that premium marque does elsewhere in the country, Esther retained it by less than 2,000 votes over Labour.
Tatton is now one of just THREE Tory-held seats in the North West region of England.
