Happened to see a blog post published on this day four years ago, in 2022. I think that most of it still stands up pretty well.
Gordon Brown. One of many System politicians who are enemies of the British people and of the future of Europe.

You only have to consider that, under both Sunak and Starmer, Israeli flags in light were projected onto the facade of 10 Downing Street, and Jewish candlesticks were placed in a window.
Look at what Mark Carney has supported: the Gaza genocide by Israeli Jews, Israel generally, the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic “measures” and “vaccines”, and the brutal and corrupt regime in Kiev.
I believe that Carney is part- (((you-know-who))) anyway.
[“The truth: the choreography is the confession.
Prime Minister Andy will kick off with the polite little pantomime at Buckingham Palace, constitutional cosplay for the cameras, king playing his assigned role as ceremonial mascot.
Then the mask’ll drop and the real masters get their audience:
First, Zelensky—to lock in Britain’s blank-cheque loyalty to the Ukrainian meat grinder and the Atlanticist death cult that feeds it.
Then von der Leyen—to genuflect before the Brussels bureaucracy, that rotting late-imperial corpse still twitching with regulatory power.
Then dinner with the hedge-fund crowd — the people whose debt-based capital actually moves the needle while your ballot paper gathers dust.
Only after paying proper obeisance will he deign to lecture the British public about net zero, the greatest corporate wealth transfer ever dressed up as planetary salvation.
This is shareholder democracy working exactly as designed. You are not the principal. You are a minor stakeholder with diminishing returns.
The sophisticated machinery of polling, micro-targeting, narrative management and behavioural nudges exists to keep you compliant and distracted. Fail the real principals—the money, the alliances, the permanent bureaucracy—and the consequences are swift and brutal.
Fail the voters? Just tweak the script and roll out a new slogan. 250k raped girls? Deny. Lost control of borders? Ignore. If caught, point finger and scream racist like Donald Sutherland in The Body Snatchers.
The order of Andy’s first meetings will tell you everything an election-night victory speech never will. Voters give Legitimacy, that’s the idea, not the reality anymore but it is still the script that’s followed. Performance.
The others give Power. And in the chasm between those two things sits the brutal reality of modern governance.
You are a serf who’s been handed a smartphone and told you’re free. Your ancestors clawed their way out of this condition. You’re being slicked and bullied back into it, with the cheerful assurance that your rootless, broke, unsafe grandchildren will foot the bill and curse your name.
Wake up.“]

“Caesar’s chariot has arrived!“
The more I see, not so much of Burnham himself but more of the hysterical adulation around him and focussed on him, the more I think that his tenure in office will be disastrous, even if it lasts for the full 3+ years until a 2029 General Election.
As for the BBC and Sky wasting large amounts of money on helicopters to follow “Caesar’s” train (“royal train”? or “imperial train”?) and then taxi, that just underlines what a sycophantic propaganda Schauspiel those msm outlets now are.
I have to admit that, on me at least, the general msm lauding to the skies of the new Labour “Caesar from the North” is having an effect opposite to what is obviously intended. I now start to dislike Burnham, those around him, and those praising him.
I note that (as it seems) Burnham is praised for having taken buses and trams (back) into public ownership in Manchester, and keeping fares stable. Yes? What else? Is that it? Underwhelming, in a world (and a UK) with massive challenges on every front.

I happened to see that a blog post from over 7 years ago, and which I had thought at least somewhat interesting, has had only a very modest number of hits over the years, which I think a pity, so…

Wall. Squad. End.
The German Reich knew how to keep its people safe, and how to deal with untermenschen.
…as blogged about several times over recent years.

What an interesting story. I cannot help thinking that the Spanish got the concession or contract because they “invested” more money in the project than their competitors.
That Nick Clegg is a scheming, ambitious little bastard ready to change coats at the slightest opportunity. He has done a great career for someone who is not particularly clever but very well-connected.

Going off the subject, do you think a military confrontation between Israel and Turkey is possible? I see those two countries as rather natural allies than enemies.

I agree completely about Clegg. One of the disappointing aspects about British society of the late 20thC/early 21stC is that it is and has been far less meritocratic than msm propaganda would have us believe. Who you know is still far more important than what you know.
As to Turkey and Israel, of course Turkey was the imperial power until 1918. In fact, Palestine was one of the Ottomans’ least productive provinces.
In the recent past, 1945-present, Turkey and Israel had common neighbours who were, as Arabs, also common adversaries. Syria, Iraq and others. Now, I think that things have changed. The secular state bequeathed by Ataturk (which I value) is disappearing and being replaced by a more Islamist tendency.
Also, the Turks no doubt see how Israel has devastated (or, via its control over US policy, had devastated on its behalf) all the nearby anti-Israel Arab states.
There is a third aspect. Over the past half-century, Turkey, despite economic problems, has become a far more economically-powerful state. That provides money for advanced weapons such as missiles. I have no idea where Turkey is in terms of nuclear weapons, but it has the money and the educated workforce…

Thank you so much for such a prompt and good answer. As far as I remember, Erdogan represents the traditional, non-religious Turkish state, but he has been under threat from militant Islamist factions. On the other hand, Erdogan must know that the Israelis are evil and cannot be trusted.

I should really be asleep, at 0330 in the morning, but the weather is unbearable. Even here on the coast, over 20C now, and 32C expected later today. London is far worse, expecting something like 36C.
