From 6 years ago
I happened to notice that a blog post written over 6 years ago, on New Year’s Eve 2019, had a few hits. On reading it myself for the first time since then I found that it has held up quite well:
Talking point
“Hitler did not share the ideas of his Austrian compatriot. He argued in his 1928 Secret Book that they are unfit for the future defence of Europe against America. As America fills its North American lebensraum, “the natural activist urge that is peculiar to young nations will turn outward.” But then “a pacifist-democratic pan-European hodgepodge state” would not be able to oppose the United States, as it is “according to the conception of that commonplace bastard, Coudenhove-Kalergi…”“
[Wikipedia]
I quoted that in a blog post of 6 July 2019:
Destruction of Nature in England
“New research by CPRE London has found that at least nine parks, eight playing fields and eight nature reserves in London are at risk, including Whitewebbs Park in Enfield, Wimbledon Park, and Green Dale Fields in Southwark. After campaigning by CPRE London and local groups, six green spaces were saved last year, including the pitches at Finsbury leisure centre in Islington, but seven were lost, including Crossness nature reserve in Bexley.
Countryside campaigners have criticised the government for allowing development on the green belt in new plans and setting a “grey belt” policy that categorises some protected land as ripe for housing and infrastructure.
In Enfield, the local council has agreed to lease part of Whitewebbs Park to Tottenham Hotspur football club. It is also the site of an ancient oak that was felled by contractors last year, to public dismay.
Dench said: “Staggeringly, 10% of public land in Britain has been lost since 1979. Whitewebbs Park in Enfield is one of the public parks currently under threat. There, a 450-year-old oak tree was brutally butchered and Spurs’ plans to develop the park involve cutting down 207 trees, including veteran and mature trees, and taking over most of the park for their elite private use.
“It is clear to me that it is more important than ever to protect our parks and green spaces before it’s too late.“
[Guardian]
Disgraceful. One of the many bad things that have been happened in this regard in the UK, especially in England, over the past 30+ years, arguably 40+ years, is the proliferation of private housing development without planning authorities insisting upon green space left for Nature and local people. Parks, nature reserves, roadside trees and bushes.

Worth watching in full. A discussion involving the much-decorated and now-retired former commander of U.S. forces in Europe.
I remain sorry for all those people, and their companion animals, suffering as the war continues, but this is a war which Russia cannot and will not lose.
Neither side should be directly targeting civilians.
The Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev should either surrender, and leave Ukraine, or come to an agreement with Russia that leaves Russia with all territory presently held, as well as all the rest of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper).
Incidentally, the soup mentioned in that tweet is better known as borshch…

I like borshch (without meat, and with smetana or sour cream); has been years since I had any, though.
Import Asians and you import Asia…
Similar but more dramatic than the other of today’s opinion polls. Would translate to a Commons with about 378 Reform MPs, 88 Labour, 58 LibDems, 42 SNP, 38 Cons, 11 Greens [etc].
That last tweeter, though, fails to see that Reform UK is now itself morphing into a System party…
I am of course completely against what F.D. Roosevelt did in the international arena, but compare his literate and weighty speeches and statements with those of Trump. Is further comment even necessary?
Stop all new mass immigration. Stop the boat invasion (whatever it takes). Start a steady programme to repatriate or otherwise remove non-Europeans from the UK and the rest of Europe. Eliminate foreign interference (especially from Israel and its agents) from the UK socio-political matrix. Start to help Nature to recover. Stop all cruelty and brutality to animals. Stop corruption of politicians and others. Start (in many many ways and via many many policies) to create a more just society and one where services and institutions work properly.

Well, there it is (for today, at least)…
Seems that the Devil really does wear Prada.

The sad and infuriating news about the destruction of beautiful green spaces was something to be expected. As Hitler pointed out, in a society where profit is the highest goal, the welfare of the community is sacrificed to the aims of businessmen and bankers who bribe the corrupt politicians to make sure nobody will stand in their way.
Who cares about the ecology and the beautiful countryside when there is so much money to be made by building hundreds of horrible, cheap houses and flats?

Quite.
I may have mentioned previously that I knew slightly in the 1980s a middleaged woman via another lady I knew. We (entre nous) called her, rather unkindly, “Fat Margaret”. An object lesson in how to make a small fortune (inherit a fairly large one, then lose most of it). She owned a large-ish, I think Edwardian, house in Barnes (London), a pretty good neighbourhood.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes,_London
Her house had been the private residence of Ribbentrop when he was German Ambassador in London. She did not buy it for that reason; co-incidental.
Margaret was renting out 5-10 bedrooms at a time to girl students, mostly foreign. Cash in hand. In 2026 money, that would bring in an income of about £1,000-£2,000 per week. Taxfree. Not bad. Unfortunately, Margaret had the entirely mistaken belief that she knew about business. Fatal. Her other businesses soaked up all her money. She had to sell the house (mortgaged and remortgaged to the hilt). A Jew bought it, ironically, and demolished it, replacing it by a 3-storey apartment building with about 10 flats. I think that most of the gardens survived, but not all. Very sad.
Multiply that by hundreds, perhaps thousands, and you see what is happening in London. Destruction of the natural environment.
