The UK msm news outlets present a completely one-sided story about the Ukraine situation. Effectively, pro-Kiev regime propaganda.

Including Israeli orgs in the UK…

Another Israeli war crime, tacitly supported by Jew-Zionist orgs, and (or so say those orgs) most individual Jews in the UK and elsewhere.

The so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] claims that c.95% of Jews in the UK support Israel generally. It can be inferred, therefore, that, at minimum, a majority of them support also what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank.

I have yet to meet a Ukrainian I found to be honest or decent (or particularly intelligent).

Without constant foreign subsidy, the Kiev regime would collapse within weeks.

Another idiot.

My country has largely gone, and has been, mainly, stolen or trashed by enemy elements, aided and abetted by traitors.

Very good, of course, but the genie is out of the bottle now. Israel, Pakistan, India already have nuclear weapons, Iran, North Korea and maybe others seem close to getting some, and other states yet, such as Turkey and Japan, have the scientific and industrial capability to put a nuclear weapons programme in place even if that has not yet happened.

For decades, Israel had advanced weapons, while most of the surrounding or engaged states did not. That has changed in recent years. Israel is doomed.

[“Young English people cannot support themselves: Starmer has killed Britain’s budget The British government is introducing new taxes that will mainly affect the most active working middle class, writes The Telegraph. The level of public welfare is steadily declining: 53% of Britons rely only on benefits, and the wealthy are urgently leaving the country. And there are still four more years ahead with the current government. “If taxes are raised to direct more money to an increasingly inefficient public sector, welfare will decline. But the Labour Party does not understand or, worse, does not care that growth is impossible if the already shrinking and demoralized middle class is further crushed,” the article’s author protests.”]

  1. I have been reading about Enoch Powell. I was surprised by his quick grasp of the postwar geopolitical situation of Great Britain in the late 1940s. These excerpts are from his biography on Wikipedia:

    “He came to terms with it (India´s independence) by becoming fiercely anti-imperialist, believing that once India had gone, the whole empire should follow it. This explained his later indifference to the Suez Crisis, his contempt for the Commonwealth and his urging that Britain should end any remaining pretence that it was a world power.”

    “Powell was a member of the Suez Group of MPs who were against the removal of British troops from the Suez Canal, because such a move would demonstrate, Powell argued, that Britain could no longer maintain a position there, and that any claim to the Suez Canal would therefore be illogical. However, after the troops had left in June 1956 and the Egyptians nationalised the Canal a month later, Powell opposed the attempt to retake the canal in the Suez Crisis because he thought the British no longer had the resources to be a world power.”

    1. Claudius:
      More accurately, after the disastrous “victory” over the German Reich in 1945, Britain faced a choice as to what to do:
      1. Maintain the Empire and (and/or) continue as a leading world power;
      2. Set up or expand the then-germinal Welfare State;
      3. Regenerate British industry and commerce.

      Correlli Barnett wrote, much later (1980s, 1990s), that Britain might have done, successfully, one of those, perhaps two, but not all three. In the event, Britain tried to do all three, but thereby fell short on all three.

      1. Yes, I remember you mentioning this. Correlli Barnett was an excellent military historian. He put the overrated and glorified Montgomery in his place. (“The Desert Generals”)
