There is now effectively nothing left of the original, or even original post-WW2 (1945-1989), Labour Party.

The irrelevance of the Conservative Party is plainly seen there. Despite Starmer-stein having a disapproval rating of 60%, and Kemi Badenoch having one of “only” 35%, when it comes to positive approval, the two are both down in the trough of public esteem: Starmer 23%, Kemi Badenoch 24%. Indeed, fewer people actively disapprove of Kemi Badenoch (35%) than disapprove of Farage (41%), but when it comes to positive approval, Farage, on 37%, easily outpaces Kemi Badenoch’s 24%.
41% of people are unsure as to whether they approve or disapprove of Kemi Badenoch, a sure sign that she has made little impression on the public (and it can be seen that what impression she has made is mostly not favourable). By contrast, only 22% of the public are “unsure” about Farage— people either approve or disapprove of him, in almost equal numbers.
People are even more sure about Starmer. Only 17% are “unsure” about him, but 60% disapprove of him.
Quite simple. 14 years of total maladministration and misgovernment finished the Conservative Party with most of the electorate, though 3 out of every 12 voters who voted (3 out of every 20 eligible) still voted Con in 2024 (Labour had 4 out of 20 or 4 out of 12). Most of those Con voters were over 60 years of age, many over 80. They have mostly now gone to Reform UK, and many are expiring daily by reason of old age etc. The next general election may not be until 2029; how many habitual Con voters will have expired by then?
The young (anyone under 30, indeed the vast majority under 40) will not be voting Con. Most of the ethnic minority (rapidly becoming majority) voters prefer Labour or other parties. So who is left?
Once again, the “snake in the grass” here is the Jewish-Zionist/Israel lobby in the UK, which has most of the politicians of the two main System parties (and Reform, too, it seems) in its pocket. The (((lobby))) wants many many organizations banned or prosecuted; it wants many individuals prosecuted, too (they have already tried it with me: see below:
Strange that that former Conservative Party tweeter, Fiona-Natasha Syms (her ex-husband was Conservative Party MP for Poole until 2024; he lost by a mere 18 votes; and she worked for him, paid generously out of her ex-husband’s MP expenses) thinks that (of all people) Yvette Cooper is to be admired. Nein danke! Yvette Cooper is a would-be dictator, very dishonest, a moneygrubber and expenses cheat (as was her husband, Ed Balls), and a “refugees welcome” dimwit to boot! Also, like all of Starmer-stein’s Cabinet —except a few servile Muslims— a member of Labour Friends of Israel.
Short-sighted Con voters in some parts of England have, in the past couple of decades, shown themselves willing, in my view very wrongly, to vote for non-Europeans such as Kemi Badenoch as their constituency MP, so long as the right party label is affixed. Putting promises of low taxation etc above racial or national pride. That has led to the brainless Conservatives imagining that the country as a whole will vote, in effect, for a party led by a non-white MP. Very misguided. Look at Sunak.
True, that was not the only factor that sank the Conservatives at GE2024, but it was one important factor. Sunak was, in that sense, more “electable” than Kemi Badenoch. After all, people look at Indians en masse and see business, at least some organizational skills and, in Sunak’s case, a UK upbringing. Added to that, the vast wealth of his wife’s family and so his own wealth, meaning that, whether rightly or wrongly, he is at least perceived to be “in it” not for personal money reasons. Compare that to Kemi Badenoch, a loudmouth careerist carpetbagger.
Most Brits, not unfairly, look at Nigeria and see chaotic maladministration, corruption even worse than that of India, and nothing at all to admire. Kemi Badenoch was not even brought up in the UK. Her parents made sure that she was born in London, so that (under the law as it then was, in 1980) she could later claim a British passport, but she was only in the UK for a few days before being returned to Nigeria. She lived there and in the USA until at least age 16.
For those who say that Kemi Badenoch is scarcely a typical Nigerian, well, yes. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, in effect (not an exact quotation), “the rich are different from you and me; they have more money“.
Yes, Kemi Badenoch is not a typical Nigerian. I have known a few like her, such as the Nigerian princess with whom I was acquainted in the mid/late 1980s, and whose (much older) husband was a Federal High Court judge in Nigeria. However, the basic model is still there, not far under the surface. (if anyone is interested, that Nigerian princess was shot dead in her luxury apartment in Lagos , nearly 30 years ago; Lagos is a rather dangerous place).
I just cannot believe that the British public will vote for a Prime Minister who is a Nigerian woman. The very idea, at least to me, is utterly farcical.
When you add to that her abrasive personality etc, you see how disastrous Kemi Badenoch is for the Conservative Party, which looks increasingly irrelevant.

No, don’t resign. Stay in place, dragging down your double salary (MP + ministerial) plus expenses, and making money out of being an exploitative private landlady. That will help to sink Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel government even faster.
Anyone who has had to deal with the chaotic crazy mess called “HMRC” will be familiar with the term “Kafka-esque“. I am glad to say that my interaction with them ceased some 13-14 years ago (in relation to matters now 20-40 years in the past). I found it hard to believe, at the time, that such chaotic maladministration could exist in this country.
[incidentally…internet definitions of “Kafka-esque“:
“extremely unpleasant, frightening, and confusing, and similar to situations described in the novels of Franz Kafka: He is caught up in a Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare. The urban landscape is invested with a nightmarish, Kafkaesque bleakness.”
and/or
“Synonyms of Kafkaesque:
- surreal.
- unusual.
- irrational.
- illogical.
- strange.
- unreasonable.
- weird.
- misleading.“
From what I read in newspapers, HMRC has not improved much, if at all, since they decided to engage in dialogue with me 13-18 years ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HM_Revenue_and_Customs#Controversies
In fact, HMRC reminded me slightly of the 1950 comic novel, The Way Backwards.
Translates to about 414 Reform UK MPs, 94 Labour, 54 LibDems, 37 SNP, Cons 21.
That would be a Commons majority greater than that of Starmer in 2024, and almost as great as that of Blair in 1997. Prior to that, very large majorities were achieved in the early 1930s, in the 1920s, and by Earl Grey’s government of 1832. All times of sweeping change.
Of course, 32% of the popular vote is not huge in historical terms, but is about what Starmer-Labour gathered-in in 2024. It hardly matters that your vote is “only” 32% if your main opponents are getting 20% and 16%.
War is hell, even when unavoidable. May victory attend the forces of Russia in Eastern Ukraine, and be the forerunner of genuine peace.

[“Former heads of the army, police, Shin Bet, Mossad, and Israeli military intelligence issued a joint statement calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza. They emphasized that this conflict is no longer just and poses a threat to the very identity of Israel, its values, and its international image.“]
I wonder whether the fanatically pro-Israel Jew-Zionists of the UK (etc), such as those malicious abusers of the English legal system, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], are listening?
Incidentally, I see that lying perjurer Gideon Falter, the head or figurehead of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, was allowed to publish a fairly long opinion piece in the Daily Telegraph. The horrible little bastard had the sheer gall to write about the small number of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza that they now look like Jews starved in German camps at the end of the Second World War.
That at a time when an Arab Palestinian population in the many hundreds of thousands, including huge numbers of civilians (many of them children), is being deliberately starved to death in Gaza by the (Israeli) Jews, a para-military campaign backed to the hilt by (non-Israeli) Jews such as Falter.
As a matter of fact, I should not be surprised if Falter, effectively an agent of influence of a foreign power, Israel, is not an Israeli passport-holder himself, perhaps a dual Israel/UK passport-holder (maybe even a triple passport-holder (Israel/UK/Austria).
I accept that the hostages in Gaza should be released, but the Palestinians have been pushed to the genocidal brink, and have few chips to play.
Israel should also release its own prisoners, of course. Some of them have also been brutalized and starved.
I once stayed overnight at Mappin’s hotel, a Victorian castle hotel at Tintagel, North Cornwall, the one-time seat of King Arthur. In late 2001; December 2001. It was not really run properly as “an hotel” should be; I believe that, since then, it has been taken in hand by Mappin, the heir to a very considerable fortune (think Mappin & Webb, the jewellers). I just read today that he bought it in 1999.
When I was there, it was hugely atmospheric, like a decayed private castle, an effect emphasized by the fact that my wife and I were the only guests, and the staff, in the evening at least, consisted of a not terribly welcoming middleaged Englishman and his (possibly Austrian) wife. I recall that our rather cold room (I think it may have had a four-poster, and an ancient bar fire set into the wall) cost £200 a night, quite expensive in the money of 24 years ago. Akin maybe to £400+ today.
I well recall, after eating informally at a local pub in the nearby village (no restaurant open then at the Castle), being seated before a Hollywood-film-scale blazing fire in the Great Hall, and being served a double or triple Irish whiskey, the absence of other guests making it seem as if we were in our own home (or castle).
In the morning, a very pleasant and very rickety old retainer-woman served breakfast in a long gallery, her tiny grandchild hanging onto her skirts, as the Cornish winter waves crashed onto the rocks below, as in Rebecca.
Memorable.
I blogged, years ago, about our stay. The Castle once played host to many of the rich and famous, especially in the years before the First World War. Composers such as Arnold Bax, and Elgar (who wrote much of his Second Symphony in the very room in which we were staying): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._2_(Elgar)#Extra-musical_considerations.
I expect it is very different today.
Ah. Just saw their website. Very different today, and much-modernized: https://camelotcastle.com/rooms/.
Good to see that Mappin is awake to at least part of the problem in the UK, but he is so very careful to push the “peaceful” protest idea— writing to MPs, becoming a candidate in elections etc. Yes but no but…
That pro-migration invasion crazie, shouting wildly, is one Jonathan Lis, a Jewish msm scribbler and “political commentator” (apparently): https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/nov/22/jewish-voting-labour-antisemitism-progressive-government
Typical.
I wonder whether the Israelis would allow echt-British/English people to go to Israel, scribble for newspapers, and go onto Israeli TV angrily urging more and more (non-Jewish) migration to Israel. The very idea is, of course, ludicrous, and would be even were those non-Jews born in Israel, which would be almost impossible anyway.

So says great foreign policy and grand strategy “expert” Ben Wallace, a half-pay retired captain (his highest rank in the Army).
“On 23 February 2022, Wallace was filmed saying that the Scots Guards “kicked the backside” of Nicholas I of Russia during the Crimean War, and could do so again. Russia invaded Ukraine the following day.[58]“]

An idiot.
What does “Field Marshal” Wallace think that Britain, which scarcely has an army now anyway, or air force, or navy, can bring to the table? He seems to think that Britain can almost impose a Pax Britannica. That last bottle must have been a good one.

“Ukraine” (Kiev regime) “fighting until it wins the war” is now impossible. It always was, even if “victory” means merely taking over the oblasti of Crimea, Lugansk, and Donetsk (rather than any capture of the territory of pre-2014 Russia or destruction of the Russian armies in the field).
Reality has now been accepted by the vast majority of Ukrainians, and I expect that a majority would now accept Russian rule over all Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

Indeed. She looks like the person she essentially is ie smug, self-satisfied, arrogant, and just plain nasty and evil by associating herself and, worse, her party and Britain with the Zionist ambassador to the UK who is so much of an extremist even by the usual Zionist standards that a few Zionist loonies here do not want her to be Israel’s top diplomat to the UK and who wrote to the British government warning it about her and wanting her to go home and be replaced by someone who is more moderate.
Israel’s present Ambassador is a virtual Nazi. She is the Zionist state’s equivalent to Joachim Von Ribbentrop when he was Nazi Germany’s ambassador to the UK and who was a rather arrogant man who even the relatively friendly British Tory government and pro-German groups here such as the Anglo-German Link ect found it difficult to get along with.

If Fiona is typical of fake Conservative Party members/voters then, frankly, it is not surprising the Tories are so unpopular. Where is the real evidence the party is ‘far right’ or ‘racist’? They have yet another ethnic, non British ‘leader’ voted in by their dimwit, elderly members and they continue to mostly avoid THE issue of the ‘Right-wing’ ie mass immigration and its increasingly dire effects upon the British. On the rare occasions, they do mention it all you get is PC globalist platitudes and lip service.
Yvette Cooper is one of the most repulsive figures in the New Labour Mark 2 ‘Hate Britain and the British’ misgoverment. She has disturbing authoritarian tendencies when it comes to basic civil liberties and the right to protest yet she has ultra-liberal ones with regard to border controls. In short, she is an awful, globalist, useless, anti-British bitch.

The diminutive (the operative word in his case) pajeet money juggler, Sunak, was also more electable than little Kemi Nigerian loudmouth is for another reason in that the only ethnics that show any real willingness to vote fake Conservative are Jews and Indians.
Even Chinese people are quite reluctant. Apparently, they prefer the Liberal Democrats to the Tories.
Nigerians along with other blacks overwhelmingly vote Labour if they vote at all. The Conservative Party really should have paid more attention to and acted in the spirit of Enoch Powell. If they had done so not only would it have been better for the country but also for their own electoral prospects. They would have avoided the electoral bind they are in. Whether they like it or not is irrelevant, the fact is that electorally the Conservative Party is the ‘white man’s party’ so they should embrace that and run with it.

In electoral terms, it still IS hence the fact that the Conservative Party’s seats in London are all now in the more British outer suburbs and the more British a constituency is the more likely it will be that the party has a decent vote share. The only exceptions tend to be in British but very poor seats like in Liverpool ect.
The national vote share of the Tory Party is overwhelmingly composed of British people. Apart from Jews and Indians, ethnics are reluctant to vote Conservative despite the party’s increasingly manic and embarrassing pandering to them.

You are right in the sense that the white ‘Right-wing’ vote has defected in large numbers to Reform UK.

Mind you, turnouts in some individual seats are even worse! Truly useless and disturbingly tyrannical Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, was ‘elected’ on a minority vote share of less than 50% and on a turnout of less than half of the electorate. Really, in those situations, the MP can not be said to have been elected even if people were electing them as individual candidates as our candidate-centred, ‘pure’, stand alone, First Post The Post electoral system intends the voters to do. Their ‘elected’ status should be cancelled and the ‘election’ declared to be null and void. There were quite a few Labour MPs ‘elected’ in this way last year.
Turnouts at local elections are even more farcical. At some local by-elections, they can be, and often are, as low as 18%!

Hello, Interesting story about your stay at that nice but sombre castle. Since you mentioned the film “Rebecca”, it reminded me of Daphne du Maurier, the authoress of the novel of the same name. I have just read his biography on Wikipedia and found that four of her novels were turned into films. However, she claimed that the only film that respected the spirit of her story was “Rebecca”, directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Hitchcock´s famous film “The Birds” (1963) was based on a short story also written by Daphne du Maurier. Apparently, she was not happy about it either.

Sadly, many perhaps most novels are mangled in the film-making process. The Birds was set in Dorset (SW England), if I recall it aright from having read it about 55 years ago. The film transferred the action to Northern California.
Some authors hate the way films change their books, others just shrug and take the money gratefully. The James Bond series is among the most obvious. I think that all the James Bond books were greatly changed when made into films. Now, of course, James Bond films are self-standing, and do not pretend to be based on books.
Some authors are hard to film. Peter Jackson’s brilliant Lord of the Rings films were only possible with advances in special effects. Raffles has never been successfully filmed on the big screen or TV (in my opinion), and only the BBC Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy series successfully captured John le Carre’s work.

Ben Wallace is an absolute moron. He also must have been a fairly incompetent and mediocre officer, since it is a well-known fact that anyone who retires as a captain is because he has proven to be quite useless.
My father had a company commander (1943) who was very stupid and rude. He complained about this to a brother officer, who told him, “Do not worry, the man is useless and will be forced to retire/resign”. My father explained to me that it was an unwritten law in the army; if an officer demonstrated he was not particularly clever and/or was a brute, he would be denied the promotion to major. Most of them took the hint and retired after a few years as captain. I am sure the same thing happened in the British army.

I believe so, but in the British Army, if someone stays long enough, he can get to the rank of Major by superannuation alone, i.e. years served. I think that is usually the Rubicon. Those considered more capable, and with at least the potential to go on to higher command, are promoted Lieutenant-Colonel (thirties to forties), those who are passed over can serve for longer as Major, but with little or no hope of higher rank, or can resign while they are still young enough to pursue another career (30-45). Major is typically reached after 8-10 years, so probably early thirties in most cases (assuming a typical 21-y-o or so age at commission). Lt.-Col. takes much longer, late thirties to forties.

By the way, the Scots Guards did not “kick the backside” of the Russian army like this moron said; in fact, they were thrown into disarray by a tremendous volley from the Russian infantry and almost ran away. The Coldstream Guards and the Grenadier Guards stepped in and closed the gap.
