Well, 8/10 this week, well-beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1 and 9 (though I did see that Danish TV series, some years ago). I more or less guessed the answers to questions 3 and 5 (from the back of my head, somewhere…).

[“Israeli Air Force launches series of strikes on Damascus (video) and several regions of Syria At the same time, Turkish Air Force fighters entered Syrian airspace and began jamming GPS and sending warning signals to Israeli aircraft. Despite this, a new Israeli Air Force squadron is currently heading to Syria. Syrian air defenses are unsuccessfully striking Israeli aircraft, whether Turkish F-16s will attempt to shoot down Israeli F-16s and F-35s will be shown in the next half hour, meanwhile Turkey is now jamming Damascus radars and GPS. Israeli fighters approaching Damascus are preparing for the fifth wave of airstrikes on the Syrian capital in the last hour and a half. UPD. The number of Israeli airstrikes on Syria in the period from December 9, 2024 to May 2, 2025 inclusive reached 167.2″]

He trashed his family as Prince Philip was dying.. he trashed his family as The Queen was dying… and now he’s trashing his family as both his father and sister-in-law have been battling cancer. Is there a more contemptible public figure in the world than Prince Harry? pic.twitter.com/HmXi4xsq8p
For once, I agree with Piers Morgan. I saw a few minutes of that interview. “The Harry formerly known as Prince” is just a ridiculous weasel. Many hold him in contempt, but few if any want to kill him or even assault him. In other words, he is in no significant peril should he wish to visit the UK, with or without Meghan Mulatta and/or their offspring.
The fact is that, without the accident or incident of his birth, Harry would be totally insignificant and would live in utter obscurity. He has nothing of interest to say, nothing at all.
As a matter of fact, he and the Mulatta are said to have hundreds of millions of dollars, so if he wants to employ a bodyguard (or a whole team) when in the UK, he and the Mulatta have the means to do so.
I noticed, for the first time, how very close together are Harry’s eyes; looks like some kind of genetic defect. Very strange. There is evidently something not quite right about Harry, mentally, but I have no view as to whether that has been caused, or triggered, by his marriage to, and apparent subservience to, the Mulatta. Perhaps he was always like that under the surface. The few times I saw him on TV, when he was a young officer or ex-officer, he always looked to be in good spirits, superficially.
His military service seems to have consisted of about 8 years in uniform as a junior officer, including a total of about 6 months deployed in Afghanistan, flying helicopters. He saw action a few times, apparently (that is to say, killing opponents on the ground from his attack helicopter…).
Thinking idly about it, it seems to me that Harry chose the right title for his book of memoirs— Spare. He now has no real function or role in the world. His situation reminds me of that of Vronsky in Anna Karenina, when Vronsky and Anna are in self-chosen exile in Italy, after having left Russia. Homesickness. Frustration. Relationship problems.
Incidentally, it infuriates me (though certainly not enough to want to kill or injure him, or even to —much— criticize him!) that Harry whines constantly about his life, his expenses, his little upsets, and the death of his mother (when he was 12), which last must have been very upsetting but which, after all, took place in 1997, 28 years ago! The man is now 40 years of age!
What I mean is that so many people in this world, indeed in the UK, are poor, suffering in various ways, wishing for a better life and/or a better society, and all this featherbedded nonentity can think about is his own comfort, security etc, and his unmerited wealth.
Never a word about the struggles and problems facing the British people.
In fact, in some ways I have more time for the Mulatta. At least she knows what real life is, having had to struggle, make a living for herself etc. Harry probably finds it a challenge to brush his own teeth.
I just have no time for him.

Well, it has taken several years, but at last my prediction of terminal decline for the main System parties is coming to pass, and evidently so.
Late thoughts on the recent by-election and local elections
One thing that struck me, looking at the pro-Labour or anti-Reform Twitterati, is how readily they describe, contemptuously, those who recently voted Reform as being “thick as mince“, “thick gammon racists” (the irony…), or “thick c**ts“, while often posting cartoons or AI-produced pictures of supposed Reform voters (shown as tattooed skinheads drinking cheap canned beer while draped in Union Jack flags, or wearing football-club clothing).
You would imagine that the opposite would be seen as more true, i.e. that repeatedly voting for the same System parties that have been driving the UK into the ground for decades (and especially since about 1989) might be seen as unintelligent or, in a word, stupid.
In fact, it is clear —as said often over the years on the blog— that many self-describing “Left” partisans have no real ideology left, only the wish to censor and attack even mildly nationalist people.
All those pseudo-socialists have left is that wish to “deplatform” others. They have no real ideology or principle left, and their preferred System party, Labour, is quite plainly just one face of a Janus-faced “uniparty”. Where is the real or significant difference between Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel “Labour” and the “Conservative” Friends of Israel governments of 2010-2024?
Such people seem to think that the voters in places such as Runcorn should be grateful to have a Labour-label government, whatever its policies, and whatever its actions and defects.
People did not, most of them, vote actively for Reform (in terms of ideology or policy), they voted Reform as a way to hit back at both Lab and Con, and as a way of trying to change a political and economic system that is no longer working for them. No social-national party of the slightest significance exists at present; Reform is the next-best option.
I see that, beyond Starmer-stein Labour propaganda trickery, nothing will change in terms of stopping the migration invasion, stopping the migrant-invaders taking over both social and private housing (paid for by the State out of taxation of the British voters); and nothing will improve in any significant way (if at all) for the British people economically.
Reform will rise up from here and, if it then founders, or fails, real social nationalism will then take up the baton. Raise the banners!
Reform UK 38.72%, Labour 38.7%, Conservatives 7.17%, Greens 7.09%. The other 11 candidates lost their deposits, the LibDem coming 5th of the 15 candidates, and with a mere 2.88%.
What is so good about the result is that, had Starmer-stein managed to hold on to Runcorn and Helsby, even with one vote, he would have been able to weasel about “hard choices“, “making the tough decisions” etc. Now, the public can be seen to have replied with a massive “NO!” to all such Blair/Brown/Cameron (etc) dissembling.
So Reform (not my party, not my kind of party, not really my ideology, but halfway there) now has 5 MPs (6, really, Rupert Lowe having been elected under the Reform banner). Under a fairer electoral system, Reform in 2024 would have had 92 MPs anyway, not 5.
5-6 MPs may seem a small bloc, but for most of the 1950s and 1960s, the old Liberal Party had the same number, before struggling into double figures for the first time since 1945, and then recovering under their new name, the Liberal Democrats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_(UK)#Electoral_performance.
Now the dam has burst. The main System parties have lost all credibility. Today Reform, but tomorrow who knows?

More thoughts about the by-election, local elections etc
The discomfiture of System drones, especially Labour ones, is both very evident and hilarious to see. Last night, I saw a section of the Sky News election coverage. One of the “experts” on their little panel was the TV talking head, now elevated to the degraded Lords as a “baroness”, Ayesha Hazarika. She obviously hates it that Reform is becoming electorally popular.
That Ayesha Hazarika person is emblematic of the times in which we live in the UK. Of Indian origin, she was a lowly civil service press officer before becoming a stand-up “comedian” (comedienne), a markedly unsuccessful one.
Despite that, her connections in the Labour Party ensured that she not only got “advisory” political work, but also slots on TV discussion panels and, eventually, the “peerage” (nominated by Starmer-stein).
Such peerages pay out £361 a day taxfree (when the House is sitting, i.e. 102 days per annum, plus travel costs and, in many cases, the costs of hotels or rent of flats etc in London. The £361 daily allowance is paid for up to 102 days per year, so as much as around £37,000 in a year. No fortune, but it is taxfree (so worth the same as a salary of maybe £50,000 or so), and all a “baroness” or “lord” has to do to get it is to sign in every day claimed for. It can take as little as 30 minutes, but why not stay and have an excellent and absurdly-subsidized lunch too?
A friend of mine often used to lunch with a peer of the realm (one of the real and unpaid old hereditary ones, not a life peer) in the 1980s and 1990s. She told me about the kind of luxury food and wine they had, and how low were the prices of that.
What a broken system. A low-level civil servant office bod and unsuccessful comic entertainer can get to know a few MPs, get on Newsnight or Sky News a bit, then become a member of the upper chamber of our legislature. It is absolutely ridiculous.
Turning from the Hazarika creature to more general matters, it is clear that the Westminster Bubblers simply do not understand what is driving the Reform phenomenon. They are too well-padded to feel the pain of so many people in this country.
Reform is underwhelming, really, yet look at what is happening! The voters are clutching at the Reform straw because not only are the main System parties useless, but they appear intent on stamping on British people, on their preferred way of life, on their history and on their future.
Labour especially is in the hands of secretive and hostile cabals. Starmer-stein is the obvious example: a freemason married to a Jewish woman, and who, at Easter, did not (as far as I have seen) invite any English children to Downing Street but did invite a group of Jewish children celebrating one of their religious festivals which occurred at about the same time.
Starmer-stein and his cabal have cut the small incomes of pensioners, the sick, the old, the unemployed, but have thrown money at “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) and at Israel (e.g. by paying for RAF surveillance flights over Gaza and other Arab territory, then giving the intelligence product to Israel for free).
I was driving in one of the most affluent parts of southern England this morning, and the road could have been in some broken-down part of the world; potholed, and poorly surfaced generally. Why? Why? I do not recall roads in England being as bad as this in the past, prior to, say, 2010. certainly not in the 1980s. “Austerity”? Poor priorities?
People are getting very fed up, indeed angry, at the way things are going. Reform UK is just the first step. People will go much further if the country continues to be so broken, and even more invaded by migrant-invaders (“legal” and “illegal”).
At present, there is no indication that the direction of travel of the UK is anywhere but straight down.

It’s wrong to call Reform a “protest party”, as many doing tonight. Protest implies voters are backlashing irrationally against the system & don’t know what they want. But they do know. End mass immigration. Fix the borders. Stop the boats. Prioritise British people.
Runcorn and Helsby was the first big test of the current parliament. Reform surged. A Labour Party stronghold was overturned. The Tories continued to go backwards. And the political map was redrawn. I suspect all this will now be the theme of the next four years.

As for the illegal, “small boat”, invaders, about a thousand are landing every day.
Starmer-stein wants to impose “woke” tyranny along with (((the usual))) concealed dictatorship in this country. He has to be opposed by any necessary means.

Lucy Connolly's appeal isn't until the 15th of May, 10 months after her tweet, remind me how quickly the former Labour MP @MikeAmesburyMP , who beat the shit out of a constituent and was only jailed for 10 weeks, took to get an appeal.
That brought to mind another Lucy— Lucy Letby. I have never claimed that Lucy Letby is either innocent or guilty of the crimes wherewith she was charged. I do not know, and have not much followed the case in any detail.
However, I did say on the blog, after she was convicted, that she seemed (from what little I had read in the msm) to have been found guilty on the basis of rather loose circumstantial evidence (which is not necessarily wrong, if that evidence is or was sufficiently probative).
Now I note that some fairly weighty opinions are saying that Lucy Letby might seriously be not only victim of a miscarriage of justice but actually innocent. I neither agree nor disagree. I have not looked at the matter in anything like enough detail. However, there lurks a feeling that, maybe, she is in prison without having actually done the crime(s).
The underlying reality is that the NHS is now largely a skeleton service, and those always loudly supporting it on ideological grounds, no matter what it does wrong, or fails to do right, are not serving either the NHS or the British public.

“She lived 3,500 years ago – but facial reconstruction technology has brought a woman from late bronze age Mycenae back to life.
[“The digital reconstruction of a bronze age Mycenae woman. Photograph: Juanjo Ortega G.”]
The woman was in her mid-30s when she was buried in a royal cemetery between the 16th and 17th centuries BC. The site was uncovered in the 1950s on the Greek mainland at Mycenae, the legendary seat of Homer’s King Agamemnon.
Dr Emily Hauser, the historian who commissioned the digital reconstruction, told the Observer: “She’s incredibly modern. She took my breath away.
“For the first time, we are looking into the face of a woman from a kingdom associated with Helen of Troy – Helen’s sister, Clytemnestra, was queen of Mycenae in legend – and from where the poet Homer imagined the Greeks of the Trojan war setting out. Such digital reconstructions persuade us that these were real people.”

Hauser, a senior lecturer in classics and ancient history at the University of Exeter, said: “It is incredibly exciting to think that, for the first time since she was laid beneath the ground over 3,500 years ago, we are able to gaze into the actual face of a bronze age royal woman – and it truly is a face to launch a thousand ships.
“This woman died around the beginning of the late bronze age, several hundred years before the supposed date of the Trojan war.”
A digital artist, Juanjo Ortega G, has developed the lifelike face from a clay reconstruction of the same woman that was made in the 1980s by Manchester University, pioneers of one of the major methods in facial reconstruction.“

Where, though, was Allison Pearson when others suffered from similar or worse behaviour at the hands of the police and those behind the police, and indeed Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), who have wormed their way into positions of influence, sometimes having suborned those stupid “elected” Police and Crime Commissioners brought in a decade ago by David Cameron-Levita.
Much of such backstairs manipulation can be lain at the door of the very malicious Jew-Zionist org known as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, a pro-Israel pressure group (effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London) whose self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”…well, let’s just call him “Slitherman”…is not infrequently to be found broadcasting his lies and propaganda on the “usually, no-one watches” Talk TV and GB News and even, sometimes, on Sky News.
At the foot of this part of the blog can be found a few blog articles detailing some of my own experiences. First, though, let us look at Allison Pearson’s [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_Pearson] experience.
[“In November 2024, Pearson was visited at home by Essex Police asking her to undergo a voluntary interview after a complaint that she had incited racial hatred with a tweet posted in November 2023. During a period of scrutiny on British policing of pro-Palestinian protests during the Gaza war, Pearson had posted a photo of Greater Manchester Police officers standing besides supporters of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan‘s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party waving the party’s flag. However, despite the flag including the word “Pakistan”, she called the flagbearers “Jew haters” and misidentified the officers as Metropolitan Police officers, citing an incident where that service had not met with an Israeli-advocacy group. These errors were corrected by a Community Note and Pearson deleted the tweet.[15][16]
After the visit, Pearson wrote a Telegraph column criticising the incident and saying that the police had said it was a non-crime hate incident. Essex Police reported The Daily Telegraph to the Independent Press Standards Organisation, saying that it had body camera footage proving that they had never said it was a non-crime hate incident.[15][16]
You see from that Wikipedia article that Allison Pearson criticized people as “Jew-haters“. She herself is not Jew, or even (as far as I can see) “part-” or “crypto”. A provincial scribbler by origin, who blagged a poor 2:2 in English at university and, as “journalist”, gets most of her facts wrong.
Allison Pearson has made common cause with the “CAA” snoopers and “lawfare” abusers. She said nothing when the Jewish lobby abused law and professional regulation to have me wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016; neither did she speak up for me when I was on trial for writing this blog (on trial in late 2023, sentenced in March 2024).
The police have been at my door about 5 or 6 times since 2013, always because some Jew or other has made up a contrived complaint. See the blog articles posted below. A few telephone calls too. The last time was only about a year ago, when some policeman at the door confronted me with Twitter/X posts, which (apart from the language used, which never could have been from me) were from, I think, 2024, and I have not posted on Twitter/X since I was permanently “suspended (expelled) in 2018, when —once again— a pack of Jews combined to “complain” about me.
Seems that the police (posing as a poundland KGB or Stasi) think that I am the only Ian Millard in the world, or in the UK, or posting online. Are they really so ineffective and unthinking? No wonder (real) crime is exploding.
Allison Pearson has also never said a word supporting other victims of Jew-Zionist lawfare, such as Alison Chabloz (imprisoned for posting satirical songs and cartoons), Jez Turner of the now-defunct London Forum (imprisoned for making a short speech in Whitehall saying that Jews should be removed from the UK), or Sam Melia of Patriotic Alternative (imprisoned for distributing completely lawful stickers).
The same is true of other controlled opposition types—Toby Young, the Free Speech Union, GB News, Talk TV, Farage, “Prison Planet” Watson, Matt Goodwin etc, not to forget Katie Hopkins herself…
Ms. Hopkins has never said a word in support of me (or any of those others mentioned).
Come for the vulnerable and disabled yet again and they will rightly come for you. They might not have anything left under Labour but they have a vote. https://t.co/WxTeWffLwf
The first test of that will be the by-election at Runcorn and Helsby on 1 May 2025, i.e. 4 weeks this Thursday.
Only total dummies are going to vote foe Starmer-stein’s fake Labour, but there are plenty of dummies out there, especially in the North of England where many vote Labour automatically, even today (because their great-grandfather always voted Labour…).
Leaving dummies of that sort aside, though, who will vote Labour now? Pensioners? Hardly! The young (under-30s)? Doubtful. Anyone on any State benefits? Very doubtful.
Not that Con is any sort of alternative, now that Labour is doing what the “Conservatives” used to do, and worse…
Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride wants to ditch the Triple Lock on State Pensions, so the over-60s voting “Conservative” would be turkeys voting for Christmas.
Reform is really the only game in town in the by-election, if one were to take seriously the “democratic” Schauspiel.
That wasn’t in the Labour manifesto either. More police they promised. Instead, devastating cuts in the capital.

Who is still voting for the Conservatives after 14 years in power? Has everyone memory-holed the Boriswave, highest tax burden since WW2 and the increasing crime rates that happened under their watch?
I find it hard to believe that any or many would vote Lib, Lab, or Con after the past 15-25 years…
These latest figures would translate to a Commons with 223 Con MPs, 170 Reform, 130 Labour, 56 LibDem (SNP 43 etc). Underwhelming. Con minority govt. (supported by Reform?).
Still, would be good to see so many “Labour” careerists culled.
Among those kicked out would be that horrid little bastard Stephen Kinnock, Angela Rayner, Mary Creagh, Ed Miliband, Wes Streeting, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Sarah Champion, Kim Leadbeater, Torsten Bell, Lisa Nandy (it just gets better!), and Emma Reynolds.
That one would mean Lab 197 MPs, Reform 194, Cons 141 (etc), so maybe a minority Reform government.
What is holding back Reform is that it is not social-national, just conservative-national.

Then, abracadabra!, they are barred from standing in elections in the supposedly “free” countries.
Well, if implemented (whether in Germany, in France, or elsewhere) that will only leave action directe as a way forward, as President Kennedy noted about 65 years ago…

The stupid thing is that, without US backing, none of the European states —not even the UK and France as nuclear powers— can stand up to the Russia they keep pushing.
If push came to shove, and if the push and shove went nuclear, as would probably happen, the USA would stand back, as would China, and the terrible devastation would be only be in Europe and Russia, mostly in Europe, because Russia has about 6,500-7,000 nuclear weapons, whereas France has about 290, and the UK about 225 (about 120 deployable by submarine launch).
The French nuclear force was the force de frappe, changed in the 1960s to force de dissuasion. Deterrence, not challenge to the then Soviet Union, an expansionist power with an expansionist and militant ideology —Marxism-Leninism— at least on the surface.
Russia today is not the old Soviet Union, and its ideology is simple and rather inconsistent Russian nationalism, not one of world conquest.
The fact is that, while the UK and France could badly damage much of Russia in a nuclear match, Russia could wipe out the UK, France, and all other European powers.
These games of “poking the bear” are very stupid and quite likely to light the touchpaper of a major war.

Putin appeared, unusually, in a kind of military combat attire, yesterday. Akin to the Zelensky “cosplay”, but with rather more weight behind it.
Trump has put Zelensky in his place. Z. is a “state beggar”, in effect. Without American arms, money, ammunition, intelligence assistance, “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) cannot continue to fight this war. Trump has therefore been able to railroad the Ukrainian side.
The Kiev regime cabal have little choice, and even their brief show of defiance was based on the hope, a forlorn one, that the UK and EU powers might plug any gap left by the American departure (if it were to happen or continue).
Russia cannot be much pressured by Trump. Therefore, the war will continue unless the Kiev regime at least accepts the minimum reality— that Crimea, and the mainland regions of Donetsk, Lugansk etc (and, a fortiori, that of the Russian oblast of Kursk) will remain Russian in perpetuity. Failing that, the war will continue, and Russian tanks will be in Kiev by 2026.
Russia has its military-logistical problems, but nothing compared to those facing the Kiev-regime side, which is losing hundreds of soldiers daily, and large areas of territory too.

Waitrose was driven into the ground by a West Indian woman whom they employed as CEO. Madness. It used to be such a good place to shop and, I believe, treated its employees well; gave them a modest cut of the profits as well. Now, like the rest of this country, it is going straight down (I refer to, inter alia, Parliament, the courts, the police, the armed forces, the Royal Mail and Post Office, the social security safety net, the monarchy, the countryside…you name it).
Seeing as most the country now supports Reform what are they going to do turn away everyone who supports Reform.
A couple of things strike me about that latest opinion poll. Firstly, that the polls are now quite volatile, especially as to whether Labour or Reform is more popular; secondly, that the Conservative Party is pretty much finished now. Few people see it as offering anything to 90% of the population, its policies have now been taken over by fake Labour under Keir Starmer-stein, and it is now not really even seen as relevant. That is so even if you discount the fact that it is now led by a Nigerian woman who was not even living in the UK until she was at least 16.
Incidentally, those opinion poll results would indicate a House of Commons with about 238 Reform UK MPs; 165 Lab; 123 Con; 58 LibDem; SNP 37; Greens 4 (etc).
So probably a Reform government backed by Con MPs’ votes. Not ideal, but if it failed to satisfy the British people, a real social-national movement (in or out of Parliament) might well emerge.
You see the deficiencies of our FPTP voting system there. Greens on 10% of the popular vote, but with only ~4 MPs, rather than the 65 that the 10% opinion poll would suggest would be fair. Reform, on the other hand, would be overcompensated, getting a notional 238 MPs instead of the mathematically-indicated 175.

That leaves the European powers. The only ones of significance are the UK and France (mainly because of their nuclear weapons), Poland, and Germany (Poland because of the size of its army and its probable morale, Germany because of its large amount of up-to-date transport, armament etc).
The UK and France would be mad to try to threaten the use of or, a fortiori, deploy in combat nuclear weapons. Any nuclear response by Russia would destroy Britain utterly. As for France, the same applies, except that France is nearly 2.5x the size of the UK.
I think that what we are looking at (unless there is a real armistice Russia-Ukraine, which is unlikely) is a continuation of the war, with the UK, France, Germany supplying even more arms, armament, and money to the Kiev regime, but probably failing to plug the gap left by withdrawal of most American assistance.
If the Americans also withdraw their intelligence aid to the Kiev regime, Russian forces will find their progress in the war easier.

“Ireland has exploded into a wave of violence as anti-migrant anger is at an all time high – after the number of people applying to come into the country rocketed by nearly 300 per cent five years.
Once sleepy towns are now homes to hundreds of asylum seekers while tent cities have been set up along Dublin’s Grand Canal.
And with far-right sentiment at fever pitch the country is on a knife edge – with even Ireland’s left-wing politicians admitting that the influx of migrants was driving a spike in homelessness.
The government has previously spoken favourably about migration. Jamie Drummond, Co-Founder and Executive Director of NGO ONE and a friend of U2 star Bono, told the International Development Committee in 2015 that young immigrants were needed to help with Ireland’s ‘senile’ aging population.
“Just as this country and this continent will be at its most senile demographically speaking, Africa will be the world’s youth and the supply of the world’s energy, creativity and dynamism.”
[Daily Mail]
The final comment, apparently by a friend of grasping hypocrite “Bono” shows that he (Daily Mail says “she“, for some reason) has little of use to contribute: anyone who imagines that Africa can give white Europe “energy, creativity and dynamism” is either deluded or working to an agenda.
Very sad that Ireland has become so contaminated. I saw it in the 1970s, and again in the mid-1980s. From what I have seen on TV and newspapers, it has become busier and, in recent decades, more affluent in parts than when I was there but also, now, far less pleasant by reason of the migration invasion.
At least the Irish, unlike most of the English, are not going down without a fight.
You can see that process happening in the UK. In fact, it has been a factor for decades, but the huge migration-invasion since, arguably, 1989, is now completely destroying the “democratic rights” of the (real) British people.
Somewhere around 15%-20% of the UK population is now non-white; in England, the proportion is far higher, around 25%, and in the major cities such as London even higher, somewhere around 30% if not more. Some cities in the Midlands and North are already majority non-white.
Even in the UK as a whole, the average non-white presence in primary schools is now somewhere around 40%. As shown, that means that in cities such as London, the primary schools are already about 50% or more non-white.
[In 1951, there were effectively no non-whites in the UK; the few that did exist were in the major ports, including London (graphic from Wikipedia)]
Incidentally, you can see from that graphic what a lie are those TV dramas (eg, Grantchester) which show even small villages in the 1940s or 1950s with racially-mixed populations.
People of my age [b.1956] know the truth, but younger people, especially children, are being brainwashed via the TV, cinema, streaming services, and at school, to believe what amounts to a lying narrative.
By 2050, at latest, the UK population will be majority non-white. Yes, some non-whites will not support later waves of immigration; however, most will, and do.
If Britain does not have, by 2030 or so, a genuinely social-national government, or at very least a Reform UK-type conservative semi-nationalist one, you can forget the “Parliamentary road”.

Fake Labour has no “plan”, except to allow profiteering bodge-housebuilders to make money destroying what is left of our countryside by building hutches for migrant-invaders and their offspring.

“EXCLUSIVE— Knock knock, it’s the Thought Police: As thousands of criminals go uninvestigated, detectives call on a grandmother. Her crime? She went on Facebook to criticise Labour councillors at the centre of the ‘Hope you Die’ WhatsApp scandal exposed by the MoS.
In a chilling clampdown on free speech, two police officers pay a visit to a grandmother – simply for criticising Labour politicians on Facebook.
Detectives were last night accused of acting like East Germany‘s feared Stasi secret police for quizzing Helen Jones over her calls for the resignation of local councillors embroiled in the WhatsApp scandal exposed by The Mail on Sunday.
Police conceded that the 54-year-old had committed no crime – yet Mrs Jones says she has effectively been silenced by the officers, as she was intimidated by them calling at her door and is too terrified to post on social media again.
‘It was actually quite scary. It made me think I best just keep quiet for the rest of my life, because you just can’t say anything these days,’ she said.
The response by Greater Manchester Police was also branded a waste of time and scant resources at a time when so many crimes go uninvestigated.
Toby Young, director of the Free Speech Union, said: ‘This is typical of the weird authoritarian atmosphere that has grown up in Britain since Sir Keir Starmer took control. Good luck persuading Greater Manchester Police to send two police officers to your house if you’re burgled or your car is stolen.'”

It is the latest in a string of incidents in which police have investigated people for social media posts, including newspaper columnist Allison Pearson, feminist writer Julie Bindel, and former policeman Harry Miller, whose name was added to a database for his ‘non-crime hate incident’. Mr Miller, who founded the Fair Cop campaign group, said of Mrs Jones’s treatment: ‘It flies in the face of our freedoms and it’s wrong. That’s far more akin to a European police force – or even worse a Stasi police force.’
At around 1.30pm last Tuesday, while Mrs Jones was looking after her baby grandson at a nearby house, a detective sergeant and another officer knocked at her door and spoke to her husband Lee, 54, via an intercom.
A shocked Mrs Jones rushed home fearing something tragic had happened to a loved one. At 2.15pm she received a phone call from an officer thought to be the same sergeant who knocked on her door and was told the police had received a complaint about her recent social media posts.
Speaking exclusively to the MoS, she said: ‘[The officer] said, ‘We’ve had a complaint,’ and I immediately asked, ‘From who?’, and he said, ‘Well, I can’t tell you that’.’
She asked if Cllr Sedgwick or his partner had made the complaint. ‘[The officer’s] exact words were ‘Your thought process is correct in that’,’ said Mrs Jones. ‘I asked the police officer, have I committed any sort of crime. Why did you call at my door? They said, ‘Someone has spoken to us about your social media posts.’
‘I then said, ‘If I don’t take your advice and continue doing what I am doing, will I be committing a crime?’ He said no. I then asked. ‘What will you do about it?’ He said, ‘There’s not a lot we can do, we are just giving you advice’.’

Regular readers of the blog will know that I have had similar experiences over the past decade (see below), all instigated by the Jew-Zionist lobby cabals, but you will not see or hear Toby Young, his “Free Speech Union”, the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, or scribbler Allison Pearson mention that, or defend my rights.
Incidentally, Toby Young puts the blame entirely on Starmer and fake Labour, who have only been in government for 7-8 months. The poundland police state in the UK goes back much further, certainly to Tony Blair’s premiership.
My own experiences as target of police-state measures instigated by Jew-Zionist pro-Israel fanatics go back to at least 2012, when the part-Jew David Cameron-Levita was PM. The same is true of the years when other part-Jews were in government as Prime Minister(s) of the UK in recent years— Theresa May and “Boris” Johnson, as well as during the government of the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

He needs to seek out legal advice to check if he has a case against Gideon Falter's notoriously mendacious CAA. Not like there's no history of groundless accusations made by CAA.
Yes. Take action against the “CAA” and also against the two or three main Jews who are behind the making of those malicious complaints.

Stasi
Having seen (above) how the UK’s police are, or have turned into, a kind of poundshop Stasi, here is some “Ostalgie” about the real ones from the now-long-defunct DDR, which odd small state I myself saw, though not for long, in 1988:
Trump as potential “third term” U.S. President
Trump a 'useful idiot' to Putin claims ex-security advisor, as John Bolton admits threats of a 'third term' are being taken seriously by insiders https://t.co/gC60gJYGHP
All the same, the talk of Trump having a third term as President is interesting. Most people are dismissing the idea out of hand, but I wonder.
The last President to be elected to a third term (and I think the only one) was F.D. Roosevelt, in 1940; he was then once more elected, to a fourth term, in 1944, but died in office in 1945.
The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, restricting the number of terms to two, was adopted in 1947 but only ratified in 1951.
Amaury de Riencourt, in his stellar work, The Coming Caesars [pub. 1957] examined the possibility of a U.S. President becoming (as many thought Roosevelt would become), an “American Caesar” (a designation also used for Douglas MacArthur, who many once saw as a future President, but who never seriously attempted to become one).
US President Donald Trump believes it is very important to strike a deal with Ukraine on minerals, as it will allow the US to recover the funds spent on assistance to Kiev, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Saturday:https://t.co/TerFg1iC6lpic.twitter.com/gvFoa15shP
Just cut off all arms and ammunition (and money, and intelligence information) to the regime in Kiev. The war will then grind to a halt within a few weeks.
The AfD states that if it wins the election, it will abolish social benefits for illegal migrants and organize large-scale deportations.

Europe is shifting right because the forgotten majority have had enough of an elite minority destroying their homes through mass immigration, broken borders, migrant crime and then using censorship to silence any opposition to this project
I never use “right“, “far right“, “left” etc, but the meaning is fairly clear— Europe is reawakening.
Viktor Orban’s Hungary has just announced that mothers of 2 and 3 children will be exempt from income tax for life
This is a serious response to the West’s demographic crisis. Other nations should follow, You can either have pro-family policies or endless mass immigration
Saw a few minutes of Sky News Press Preview. Guest? The Jew (I think the name was Rosenberg) who apparently heads the Board of Deputies of British Jews, i.e. the voice of the Jews, or most of them (?), in the UK. Needless to say, pro-Zelensky etc.
Zelensky’s “offer” to resign if he gets what he has been demanding for several years, i.e. Ukraine’s membership of NATO, is of course just a bad joke, a complete nullity.
The fact is that the balance of power in that war, and in Eastern Europe, perhaps all of Europe, has tipped decisively. Zelensky is an irrelevance now, and his Kiev regime is obviously going to implode; either that, or Russian tanks will be in or around Kiev by 2027 at the latest.
Likewise, Starmer, Macron, and whoever now heads Germany, are sidelined.

“In 1943, amid the devastating final years of World War II, the Berlin Zoo was heavily bombed, leaving much of the zoo in ruins and many of its animals in grave danger. Among the survivors was a Shoe-billed stork, an unusual and majestic bird recognized for its unique, shoe-shaped bill and stately demeanor. With the zoo’s facilities destroyed, the stork found an unlikely refuge in a nurse’s bathroom, a small but safe haven where it was cared for during the chaos of war. The nurse’s bathroom became a sanctuary for the bird, symbolizing the compassion and determination of those who worked to protect the zoo’s animals despite the dire circumstances. The stork’s survival depended on the care it received in this improvised setting, where it was fed and tended to with limited resources. This poignant scene of a wild, exotic bird in a domestic, human space emphasized the extraordinary lengths people went to preserve life during a time when destruction seemed all-encompassing. The survival of the Shoe-billed stork and its temporary shelter in the nurse’s bathroom became a powerful symbol of resilience and hope amidst the horrors of war. While much of the zoo was destroyed and many animals were lost, stories like this highlight the small acts of care and humanity that endured even in the darkest hours. The stork’s journey is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals and serves as a reminder of the fragments of hope that can emerge even in times of overwhelming devastation.“

“The subterranean city of Derinkuyu, located in Cappadocia region of Türkiye, an extraordinary historical site with the capacity to house an estimated 20,000 to 60,000 people, including their livestock and supplies. Its discovery occurred unexpectedly in 1963 when a homeowner accidentally broke through a wall in his basement, unveiling an ancient and intricate underground structure hidden for centuries. Derinkuyu is an impressive multi-level complex, descending over 200 feet below the surface and consisting of at least 18 levels, though only a portion of it has been fully excavated. The city features an array of functional spaces, including living quarters, kitchens, storage areas, wine and oil presses, stables, and even chapels and schools. Ventilation shafts and a sophisticated water system ensured the city’s inhabitants could survive underground for extended periods. Defensive mechanisms, such as heavy stone doors that could be rolled into place, protected the city from invaders. Historians and archaeologists believe Derinkuyu was initially constructed by the Phrygians or Hittites in the early centuries BCE, though it was later expanded and used by various groups, including early Christians, as a refuge from persecution or attacks. Its design reflects the ingenuity and resilience of the civilizations that relied on such cities for survival during times of conflict or environmental challenges. The discovery of Derinkuyu has spurred interest in Cappadocia’s extensive network of underground cities, many of which remain unexplored. These ancient marvels continue to captivate researchers and visitors alike, shedding light on the innovative ways humans adapted to their environment and safeguarded their communities.“

“Recruits to the castle-convents scattered across Teutonic territory primarily hailed from Germanic regions such as Franconia, Thuringia, the Rhine, and other German territories. These knights, often aristocrats but also comprising lower-ranking members, were stationed in commanderies housing anywhere from 10 to 80 individuals. Similar to other military orders, recruits pledged monastic vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Joining offered prospects of spiritual rewards, adventure, career advancement, and even basic amenities like regular meals and shelter. While German settlers were permitted entry, they typically served as priests or half-brethren. Each castle-convent also accommodated local crossbowmen, as well as non-combatants like servants and craftsmen. Although officially international, the order predominantly drew recruits from German lands. Membership numbers varied, influenced by battles and territorial shifts. For instance, Prussia counted 700 members in 1379 AD, 400 in 1450 AD, 160 in 1513 AD, and 55 in 1525 AD. The total knightly roster likely never exceeded around 1,300. The order’s revenue stemmed from wartime spoils, captured territories, trade, land rents, and donations in cash, goods, or land. Some brethren paid an entry fee, while taxes on local populations were imposed in Teutonic territories by the 15th century AD. As recruitment challenges grew, the order increasingly relied on mercenaries, necessitating financial support. Commanderies not only offered training, residences, and retirement options but also extended aid to local communities through hospices, hospitals, schools, and cemeteries. Additionally, the order constructed churches, providing ongoing maintenance and fostering artistic endeavors for embellishment.“
I once knew a German lady from East Prussia, one of whose several historically-distinguished ancestors was a Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights in the Middle Ages.

“The Lion Man – An Ice Age Masterpiece : The Lion Man is a masterpiece. Sculpted with great originality, virtuosity and technical skill from mammoth ivory, this 40,000 year-old image is 31cm tall. It has the head of a cave lion with a partly human body. He stands upright, perhaps on tiptoes, legs apart and arms to the sides of a slender, cat-like body with strong shoulders like the hips and thighs of a lion. His gaze, like his stance, is powerful and directed at the viewer. The details of his face show he is attentive, he is watching and he is listening. He is powerful, mysterious and from a world beyond ordinary nature. He is the oldest known representation of a being that does not exist in physical form but symbolises ideas about the supernatural.
Found in a cave in what is now southern Germany in 1939, the Lion Man makes sense as part of a story that might now be called a myth. The wear on his body caused by handling suggests that he was passed around and rubbed as part of a narrative or ritual that would explain his appearance and meaning. It is impossible to know what that story was about or whether he was deity, an avatar to the spirit world, part of a creation story or a human whose experiences on a journey through the cosmos to communicate with spirits caused this transformation. Obviously, the story involved humans and animals. Lion Man is made from a mammoth tusk, the largest animal in the environment of that time and depicts the fiercest predator, a lion, now extinct, that was about 30 centimetres taller than a modern African lion and had no mane. Distinct from other animals through their use of tools and fire, humans were nonetheless dependent on some animals for food while needing to protect themselves from predators. Perhaps this hybrid helped people to come to terms with their place in nature on a deeper, religious level or in some way to transcend or reshape it.
Archaeological discoveries in other caves in this region include small sculptures as shown in the British Museum’s 2013 exhibition Ice Age art: arrival of the modern mind. They were found in caves with large quantities of stone tools and animal bones that indicate people lived in the shelter of the daylight areas of these sites for repeated periods of time.
Stadel Cave, where the Lion Man was found, is different. It faces north and does not get the sun. It is cold and the density of debris accumulated by human activities is much less than at other sites. This was not a good place to live. Lion Man was found in a dark inner chamber, carefully put away in the darkness with only a few perforated arctic fox teeth and a cache of reindeer antlers nearby. These characteristics suggest that Stadel Cave was only used occasionally as a place where people would come together around a fire to share a particular understanding of the world articulated through beliefs, symbolised in sculpture and acted out in rituals.
Lion Man is the oldest known evidence for religious beliefs and Stadel Cave suggests that believing and belonging have a deep history crucial to human societies and originating long before writing. In 2017, UNESCO acknowledged Stadel Cave and other Swabian localities as World Heritage Sites of importance to all humanity and now Ulm Museum has loaned this important sculpture to the British Museum for the exhibition.”
“The candidate for Chancellor of Germany Alice Weidel has called for the restoration of relations and economic ties with Russia The election program of Alternative for Germany includes points about the need to lift sanctions on Russia to allow free trade. Additionally, according to members of the AfD, it is necessary to repair the Nord Stream pipeline, which supplied Russian gas to Europe. “We want to end the sanctions policy, which primarily harms our country,” Weidel said. She reminded that just two years ago, Germany was buying cheap natural gas from Russia through Nord Stream, but now the country has “the highest energy prices in the world.”
The AfD is not fully social-national but is still clearly the best choice for German voters at present. Deutschland erwache!
Boris Johnson put mass uncontrolled immigration on steroids and should never be allowed anywhere near frontline politics again.
I thought, when he was not nominated (plainly at his own request) for a fake peerage that Johnson, aka “Boris”-idiot, had it in mind to stand for leader again.
Were Johnson to get some sympathetic Con MP to stand down in his favour, Johnson might well win a safe-seat by-election.
Why would any MP do that? In return for a promise of getting a peerage later. That would not require Johnson to be Prime Minister, because the Leader of the Opposition also has peerage-nomination rights.
Johnson would then have to wait (probably) until November 2025 before at least 15% of Con MPs send in letters of no-confidence in “Carpetbagger Kemi” Badenoch. That means 18 MPs, as matters stand. That would happen. Con MPs know that Kemi Badenoch is a total turn-off for most voters, sure to lose the next general election and, thus, a number of seats.
Then, all Johnson would need would be a small number of MPs (in the 2024 leadership election, the number was 10 MPs) to nominate him as a candidate (quite likely possible).
Opinion polls of 2024 Con-voting people show that Johnson is far more popular (despite his evident unfitness to hold office, despite his total incompetence) than Kemi Badenoch.
I may even place a bet on “Boris” to be next Con Party leader. The odds, though, are not too generous, below 5/1. Maybe I shall lose my money elsewhere…
As Matt Goodwin says, though, Johnson was disastrous as PM (and, before that, as Foreign Secretary), and at present the Con Party is hovering around or below 20% in the opinion polls.
“Healthcare”. So Orwellian. If defenders of abortion were really sure of their position they would admit that terminating a pregnancy means the ending of a human life but instead hide behind weasal words.

“Nearly every other day I learn that someone I know in Wiltshire, in Westminster or in my wider Conservatiive network has left the party – and about half the time they join Reform too. Today two have jumped. Give it time, say Tory diehards but even under new leadership the Conservative Party simply isn’t healing or recovering. Its decline is continuing. I am not finding Reform membership easy but don’t regret my move nor leaving a party that is now so divided and adrift. It’s sad to watch.“
“I don’t know one lifetime Tory that still supports them personally, i wont ever vote for them again. They’re bad coalition where no meaningful policy happens, migration we had since Cameron was mostly low skill we are paying 70 yr high tax to subside that migration . Waste is massive, they were funding most of the things they said they didn’t support. to be honest Tim looking at the state of this country I’m wondering did they do anything in 14 years, everything in England is broken, GPS, dentists, NHS, councils, police, judiciary, child services, mental health services, prisons, social care, we have gone backward and it’s frightening to watch.“
Semi-literate, but surely accurate.
It has been forecast in the past and not quite happened, but I truly feel that the once-great Conservative Party is now finally going the same way as the old 19thC/20thC Liberal Party. Terminal decline.
The Con vote in (?) 2029 (and assuming that a nuclear war has not happened by then anyway) may be as low as 15%.
It would also mean Reform UK getting 330 Commons seats, an overall majority, and thus being able to form the next Government of the UK. If that then ended badly, social nationalism could finally arise. God mote it be.

Earlier today, I caught literally the last 30-60 seconds of an interview (I think on Sky News) with, I also think, a junior Labour minister whose name I did not get. What a typically smug, pleased-with-himself bastard! A System political drone with, in the short piece I saw, nothing to say beyond the sort of bland propaganda soundbites all too common over the past 25 years.
No wonder the British people are turning off from System parties and politicians. Reform UK is but the next step on the road, not the ultimate destination. Anger and frustration is growing.
