According to Electoral Calculus, the result of that, replicated in a general election, would be Labour— 179 Commons seats; Reform UK— 170 seats; Conservatives— 165 seats; LibDems 72; Greens, 7.
So a hung Parliament. Any of the top three could try to rule as a very weak minority government. Alternatively, Reform could ally itself in some form with the Conservatives, and get over the line that way. Maybe even a “grand coalition” of the System parties (LibLabCon). In that event, Reform would be the official Opposition, with every chance of later, after a further election, becoming the governing party.
Reform UK is morphing into a System party anyway, but the Overton Window is moving. Reform UK is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination.
Incidentally, were Reform to go from 26% to 27% (and all other parties stay where they are), the result would be Reform UK— 202; Labour 165; Conservatives 147; LibDems 72; Greens 7.

Why are we sending £15 billion to other countries around the world while taking winter fuel payments from British pensioners & treating British people in hospital corridors and car parks? Can anybody in power answer me that?
If Reform UK can become largest party in the Commons, they would have no need to “merge” with the Con-servative Party. They could govern as a minority government. If the System parties refuse to play ball, Reform could simply blame those other parties for the inability to govern, then call another general election, with every chance of getting a majority.
If the weakness of governments continues, that might be the opening a social-national movement needs in order to rise up.

“Major political mistakes, banal corruption and simply poor analysis of the situation – ignorance of history and misunderstanding of the nature of ‘Ukrainism’ – played their role ,” Medvedev said.
– “Biden did the worst at one point, essentially starting a war between the collective West and Russia, which almost turned into a nuclear conflict with NATO.”
” Recently, he clearly did not fully understand what was happening. Yes, we must admit, such a war is economically beneficial for the United States. But the political costs and the real danger of a fatal conflict are much greater. But the old man was not ready for this. This is a case when the head of the world’s largest power completely failed to cope with the situation . As a result, the Democrats unfortunately lost the elections. If Biden’s problem is his inadequacy, then the fault of his administration is that it deliberately left a very difficult crisis legacy on the Russian track for its successors. The harmful side effects of Biden’s decisions will continue to manifest themselves for a very long time , “Medvedev wrote on Telegram.
– “That is why it will take decades for Russian-American relations to fully normalize. Although, in my opinion, in the current reality this is impossible in principle. And frankly, it is not clear whether it is necessary at all,” Medvedev concluded.”
Over the last 24 hours we've had reports of No.10 unhappiness with the Liz Kendall, Bridget Phillipson and Yvette Cooper. As I've been writing, there are growing tensions between Keir Starmer and his cabinet. Which is ominous this early into the government's tenure.
Even leaving aside her pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, quasi-“Conservative” politics, Liz Kendall is as thick as two short planks. Who on Earth would make her a Cabinet minister? Ah, yes…”Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer.

“Ukraine and Great Britain sign 100-year partnership agreement British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, during a visit to Kiev, also announced the transfer of a new air defense system to Ukraine, Reuters reports.
“We have agreed that Britain will transfer at least $3.6 billion in military aid to us annually.
Today is a truly historic day, our relations are closer than ever ,” said Volodymyr Zelensky after signing the agreement.
Starmer said he would provide Ukraine with the necessary support “to put it in the strongest position to fight Russia in 2025.”
Starmer and his “elected” dictatorship have just stolen £2 billion a year from British pensioners, and are going, in effect, to send it to the Jewish dictator of “Ukraine”, in order to bolster his shambolic, brutal, and crumbling regime.
Starmer may be called Prime Minister of the UK, but is really just a New World Order and Zionist Occupation Government puppet.
Having said that, the “100-year Agreement” will probably last no longer than the “1,000-year Reich”…
More pertinently, she realizes that, because the Conservative Party is on the way out, her chance of becoming Prime Minister, or indeed any kind of government minister, is vanishingly-small now.
Having said that, Suella Braverman is not particularly intelligent and, as far as I know, had a fairly mediocre Bar practice, so she might be better off trying to remain an MP— but for which party, Con or Reform?
If Suella Braverman defects to Reform and is their candidate next time at Fareham, she has a good chance of staying as MP. In 2024, she got a vote-share of 35% but Reform still did fairly well in 4th place (on 18%). She is known as having very similar views to Reform. She might well get 40% or more, maybe 50%, as a Reform UK candidate in that seat. As a Conservative Party candidate, her vote might decline to a level where Reform, or even the LibDems or Labour might succeed.
All the same, if she does defect, she would face three other serious candidates at the next election. Any one of them might win. I cannot see her standing down voluntarily from Parliament, though.

Maybe that kind of incursion is a possible way for Russian forces to deliver the coup de grace to the Kiev regime, a huge, swift devastating attack on the head of the serpent— Kiev itself. Had that been done in 2022, huge damage and misery could have been avoided.
“Reform UK is now only a single percentage point behind Labour – putting their leader Nigel Farage within touching distance of Number 10 at the next election.
New polling data from YouGov, commissioned by Sky News, puts Reform on 24 per cent and Labour on 25 per cent – down a whopping 9 percentage points from their winning vote share at the 2024 UK election.
With the Conservatives on 22 per cent, the UK electorate may be about to usher in a new epoch of three-way party politics.
The new research puts Labour on 26 per cent, Reform UK on 25 per cent, the Torieson 22 per cent, the Lib Dems on 14 per cent and the Greens on 8 per cent.
In general the assessment of Sir Keir’s first six months in office is damning, with only 10 per cent of voters judging that he has been successful and an overwhelming majortity (60 per cent) saying he has been unsuccessful.
Labour insiders are also worried at how the party is hemorrhaging voters to other parties across the political spectrum.
The new data found that they have retained only 54 per cent of supporters from the general election – while 7 percent have defected to the Lib Dems, 6 per cent to the Green Party, 5 per cent to Reform UK and 4 per cent to the Tories.
Meanwhile almost a quarter of those who voted Labour in the polls (23 per cent) either did not say, weren’t sure or had decided not to vote at all.
Labour also faces a problem with elderly voters in light of policies like the removal of the winter fuel allowance, with only 14 per cent of OAPs now saying they would cast their vote for Labour – down eight percentage points from the election.“
Naturally, Reform UK is not very close to me, ideologically. Pro Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, and (relatively) anti-welfare state; pro-finance capitalism.
Still, Reform UK has its uses. To move the “Overton Window”, particularly on issues of immigration, migration-invasion, free speech etc. Above all, to break up the LibLabCon “three main parties” scam which has been in place during my lifetime.
It may well be that all party politics will crumble to dust by reason of some existential catastrophe in the world, such as nuclear war, but that is another matter, arguably.
According to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], the figures given, if replicated at a general election, might result in a House of Commons with Labour holding 287 seats, Conservative Party 128, Reform UK 107, LibDems 77, Green Party 4. That would indicate a Lab-LibDem coalition, or some lesser concordat, Labour being about 37 short of an overall majority on those figures.

When I was about 21-y-o, I wanted to get rid of hundreds of unwanted books, mostly paperback novels (spy stories and crime thrillers etc). I gave them to the Royal Marsden because I was then living at Reigate Hill in Surrey, only about 8 or 9 miles away from the hospital’s site at Sutton (though the distance seems more because the two areas are so different). I dropped them off at the hospital reception. I hope they at least passed the time for some of the in-patients. I suppose that must have been 1977 or 1978.
It looks, though, as if the lady tweeter noted attends not the Sutton site of the hospital but rather its other and older location, in Kensington (which would make more sense, because she lives not far from my old shooting club, the Kensington Rifle and Pistol Club, now all but defunct and no longer —since the 1990s, if not earlier—in West Kensington). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Marsden_Hospital.

3 disgraces in this story alone – underpaid NHS worker (my words not hers), crap & ludicrously expensive social care, food banks. I say I might have an offer you like and care passionately about fixing social care. And the rest. I also think doctors would run the NHS better, pen-pushers and deadbeat hospital CEOs, often from industry or politics, should be blocked off.“
All right. Some good points, but was she saying all that when she was married to a Conservative MP and Whip (until a decade ago)? I do not know, but I doubt it. She was (and still is? I wonder…) a passionate supporter of the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and George (Gideon) Osborne, whose government of nasty nonsense, 2010-2015, imposed so-called “austerity” (for the poor) and spending cuts which permanently crippled this country in every way.
As for “food banks”, they scarcely existed until 2010. Only on a tiny scale, anyway. Another result of “Conservative” Party policies 2010-2015.
The Fiona Syms tweeter should think about why the Conservative Party presently stands at 22% in the opinion polls, 2 points lower than at GE 2024, despite the evident hopeless incompetence and unpleasantness of the “Labour” government of “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer and his little Labour Friends of Israel cabal.
People have not forgotten the 14 years of truly bad “Conservative” government 2010-2024, finishing off with the government of the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak; and now the “Conservatives” are “led” by a political joke (again), a Nigerian woman who only came to the UK at age 16, albeit that she spent a day or two here after her birth (in London).
Having said that, it is clear that Labour (too) is finished. After a week or two of Starmer-Labour misgovernment, I blogged as much, at which time the msm were sycophantically applauding Starmer (some stupid woman scribbler in, I think, the Guardian, even said that she found herself attracted to Starmer sexually!— Well, Henry Kissinger did say that “power is the ultimate aphrodisiac“…).
What stands out there for me is how only among those 65+ years of age is voting Conservative anywhere near the level required to ground a Conservative Party government. 35%. Not very impressive anyway, but dropping to only 25% among those 50-64 y o, and to only 16% among those aged 25-49 before almost disappearing among those aged 18-24.
It might be argued that those aged below 65 y o might well change their views when they age further (just as it was said by Soviet anti-Christian propagandists in the pre-1989 period that “only old women now attend Russian Orthodox churches“, but that was countered by those who noted that there seemed always to be another generation of old women at church…).
Yes, those now aged below 65 may well be more inclined to vote Conservative when they reach 65+, but in my opinion the numbers will never be higher, or even as high, as they now are.
If the percentage of those 65+ voting Conservative is now 35% or so, by 2029 that might easily decline to 30%, and lower thereafter. The same slide might also be seen, and probably will be seen, lower down the age scale. If the present 18-24 y o generation only vote Conservative Party at around 5%, that will almost certainly increase, but maybe only slightly, over the years to come. To what extent is hard to pinpoint, but maybe by only about 5 points in each coming generation, so at age 65+ maybe to about 20%.
Admittedly speculative.
That is assuming that the present voting and political system will still be here in 2060, 2040, or even 2030. Or the present world as we know it…

“A law student is suing Cambridge University for discrimination after he failed his PhD and delayed his career working as a barrister.
Jacob Meagher is seeking ‘substantial damages’ from the world famous institution, alleging he was the subject of disability discrimination and victimisation following the failure of his law PhD.
Mr Meagher also claimed that his oral ‘viva voce’ interview, where he was questioned about his thesis by two examiners, caused ‘significant damage’ to his health.
He ended up failing the examination, meaning he missed out on a opportunity to take up a tenancy at a ‘particular set of chambers’ and therefore ‘suffered a substantial loss of anticipated earnings’.
Outlining the claim, the judge said: ‘Mr Meagher…is a student at the University of Cambridge…undertaking a PhD in law.
‘[He] did not successfully pass his final viva voce examination of his doctoral thesis.
Court documents also stated that the University’s Disability Resource Centre had recommended that at the viva, examiners follow a set of guidelines, produced as part of a Student Support Document (SSD), to help him.
These included asking specific rather than general questions, using the active, rather than the passive, voice and allowing him pauses and breaks after questions…to allow him to ‘mentally retrieve the words or information that he needed in order to answer’.“
[Daily Mail]
How on Earth does that litigant think he is going to survive at the Bar (unless he does no court work at all) if he cannot endure being verbally challenged, and needs time “to mentally retrieve the words or information that he [needs] in order to answer“?
You need a thick skin at the Bar. I should know. I was a practising barrister, in court almost daily, from 1993-1996 in London (often at the High Court, as well as in County Courts and both “the mags” and, less often, Crown Courts), and during 2002-2008 based in Exeter (though travelling widely across the UK and beyond).
Being put on the spot by a judge, especially a High Court judge (I was never at the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court), can be a chastening experience even if the judge is (as most High Court judges are) reasonably courteous.
Woe betide the barrister who is unprepared, or whose instructing solicitors have fallen down on their job. I usually managed to put up a good show, or at least a good front, but I have seen other barristers fall silent, unable to say a word, or flounder helplessly; even, in one case (in Camberwell Magistrates’ Court, before a particularly severe Stipendiary Magistrate —the people called District Judges now—) actually whimper and almost burst into tears (it was a man, too…).
At one time, a barrister who was disabled, even physically, was at a huge disadvantage in trying to get into any chambers. Now, it is arguable that things have gone to the other extreme.
When I was in provincial chambers in Exeter, from 2002-2008 , there was a girl Bar pupil from Northern Ireland. She seemed pleasant and was afterwards offered a tenancy (after which she became markedly less pleasant). The point, though, was that she had a bad speech impediment. In my opinion, the Northern Irish accent is hard enough to understand, let alone when the speaker has a speech impediment. She did get some criminal and family work, though; low-level stuff.
In the end, that Northern Irish person gave up the Bar entirely (I was told) and returned to her native Ulster. At least there they were, presumably, able to understand what she said.

The mainstream media milieu is a cesspit. I was just reading about some person whose name, though I had seen it somewhere, in the back of my mind, conveyed little to me. A few years younger than me (I am now 68), he has died, and even years ago was looking at least a decade or more older than me, looking at photos in the newspapers. In fact, make that 20+ years older.
Apparently, that person had, at one time, in the 1990s, been spending £4,000 a week on cocaine, and drinking 4-5 bottles of vodka every day!
You could double or treble that sum to get the same value in the money of 2025.

What I look upon with “horror” is, inter alia, the fact that only someone such as Elon Musk, someone outside the jurisdiction of the poundland police state that Britain has become and/or is becoming, can speak out on a number of very important issues, such as —only one example— the Pakistani-origin “community” conspiracies to rape young English girls.

The detail can be read, in part, in those articles but, overall, the anti-free speech campaign against me (and many others) has been spearheaded since 2014 by the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, which has relatively few active supporters, even in the UK Jewish “community”, yet presents itself as if in a leadership role. Jewish and/or pro-Israel employees of TV and radio stations make sure that the tiny handful of “CAA” spokespersons are given airtime, while unethical scribblers quote the “CAA” types in a few of the newspapers.
In reality, the “CAA” consists of a small handful of more or less full-time activists, and a larger but still very small number of supporters (some of which are plainly deranged).
Well, there it is. So far, the Jew-Zionists (the “CAA” and also “UKLFI”— “UK Lawyers for Israel”) have managed to have me disbarred (albeit 8 years after I had completely ceased work as a barrister), have me removed from Twitter (in 2018; pre-Elon Musk), have had the police telephone me and/or turn up at the door of my now-humble home several times over the past decade, and have had me subjected 2-3 times to “voluntary” (really, involuntary) police interviews.
The “lobby” has also now (in 2023; sentence in 2024) procured my prosecution and conviction under the “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (despite that Act having been recommended for repeal by the Law Commission).
Naturally, I pleaded Not Guilty (as I always would, were any other attempt to be made) and nearly succeeded, but was found guilty (on very dubious grounds), which resulted (a few months later) in my being sentenced to a 9-month “community order” (i.e. akin to the old “probation”) and which turned out to consist of half a dozen or so short chats —lasting 30 to 120 mins— with a rather charming young probation lady, and also a financial penalty (mainly notional court costs) amounting to £734 (over a third of which was paid by a few generous people who gave to a crowdfunder I set up on GiveSendGo).
I might have succeeded on appeal, but decided that the gamble was not worth the extra trouble and expense, on that occasion.
I was sentenced in mid-March 2024. My “probation” period lasted officially until December 2024 but in reality finished in early September 2024.
Still, I remain politically active in terms of comment, and the blog has been published uninterruptedly right through all that process and nonsense. Almost daily.
Any further attempts to prosecute me or to close down the blog will be met with the same resistance and contempt.
We shall see what transpires. “It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings” (at Wessex CPS, aka the “Clown” Prosecution Service, or generally).
Incidentally, quite a few of those who have tried to persecute me over the years have fallen victim to various medical conditions, or other dispensations of Fate; some have died.

Cloud cuckoo, did he pay you in kind for that tweet.
The name George Foulkes struck a faint chord, so I looked it up.
Turns out that George Foulkes was born in Shropshire in 1942, was educated partly privately, and was awarded a degree in psychology from Edinburgh in or about 1963-64, after which he apparently managed to avoid having to work in any job or profession (unless you include being f/t President of the Scottish Union of Students and then a local councillor) until elected as Labour MP in 1979 (he tried to become an MP in both 1970 and 1974 but failed).
Foulkes’ time as an MP was undistinguished. He tried to have Space Invaders and similar games banned in 1981 in case they caused “deviancy“, and introduced a few other private members bills which also got nowhere. He served on a few committees, for which he presumably received more money and/or expenses.
Foulkes was appointed a Labour shadow minister in 1992, but was forced to resign in 1993, having assaulted a policeman while drunk (and disorderly).
Foulkes, as both MP and peer, has belonged to a number of Commons committees dealing with the Caribbean, and thereby has received a large number of freebie trips (in effect, holidays) to the Caribbean.
Foulkes —naturally— tore the **** out of his expenses as an MP and, after having been elevated to the Lords, did the same as a peer. Wikipedia notes that his claimed “expenses” as “Lord” Foulkes during the financial year 2007-2008 alone amounted to nearly £55,000, worth about £100,000 in the money of 2025. He was also one of those Labour “parliamentarians” who tried to suppress exposure of his own and all other expenses claims.
Foulkes also “served” (and was well-paid) as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) during 2007-2011. No doubt he claimed plenty of expenses that way too.
The bastard also belongs to Labour Friends of Israel (what a surprise…). He favoured the invasion of Iraq. He was part of the anti-Corbyn caucus in Labour, needless to add.
So there it is. What a useless person, sadly typical of so many careerist, moneygrubbing, System-party politicians. “Dirty democratic politicians“, as Hitler called the Weimar Republic equivalent. These days, the word “democratic” might as well be omitted, of course.
Foulkes really should not be tweeting about honesty, integrity, and humanity…
Why are we importing hundreds of thousands of people into Australia from cultures which are completely at odds with our own? Why don’t we relax the regulations for people who wish to flee the UK instead. 🇦🇺🇬🇧
Sadly, Australia, where I lived and went to school for three years in the late 1960s, seems to have been making the same mistakes (promoted by the same or similar malicious groups…) as the UK and much of Europe. Plainly put, importing useless blacks and browns, and others such as Chinese. What a pity. So unnecessary and destructive.
For those unaware, Russian Orthodox Christmas is a couple of weeks behind because the Russian Orthodox Church (though not the rest of Russia) uses the Julian Calendar rather than the Gregorian. Thus, in Russia, Christmas Day is tomorrow, the 7th of January 2025.
“Each year, thousands of people in England and Wales are accused of crimes for which they are later acquitted. While their names may be cleared, they are often left emotionally and financially devastated – as Brian Buckle, who was wrongfully convicted of sexually abusing a child, discovered first-hand.
Rebecca Whitehurst, 47, from Greater Manchester had to find tens of thousands of pounds to pay for her defence after a pupil at the school where she taught made claims that they had engaged in sexual activity and exchanged inappropriate messages.
“Financially, it’s been the best part of £50,000,” she says. Rebecca adds that after she was found not guilty, she was awarded costs – but at the legal aid rate, which is much lower than the expense of instructing a defence barrister privately.“
[BBC]
Acquitted (in the first case noted above, only after 5+ years in prison, a successful appeal, and then a retrial), but left £50,000-£500,000 out of pocket.
All because Chris Grayling, a stupid arrogant man made a Cabinet minister by David Cameron-Levita, made stupid decisions which have even now not been corrected (though due to be, belatedly, corrected in 2026, apparently).
“Sir Keir Starmer will be ousted as Prime Minister within a year, an exclusive poll for The Mail on Sunday has predicted – with furious voters attacking his poor handling of the economy, the NHS, immigration and the cost-of-living crisis.
Nearly a third of all Britons polled in the ‘state of the nation’ survey expect the Labour leader to last another year at most, with more than two thirds (68 per cent) saying he is doing ‘badly’, just six months into the job.
And in news that will worry both Labour and the Conservatives, one in five voters thinks that Nigel Farage will be Britain’s next Prime Minister.
Last night, one Labour MP said privately: ‘If this poll doesn’t ring alarm bells in No10, then we really are doomed.
‘Sadly, it confirms what I and other Labour colleagues are now finding on the doorstep.
‘There never was much support for Keir. But after a catalogue of blunders – from scrapping winter fuel payments to hiking taxes – what little support there was for the Prime Minister has collapsed‘.
The exclusive Deltapoll survey reveals that 69 per cent think the country is heading in the wrong direction, with the cost-of-living crisis and the state of the NHS topping the list of concerns.“

“Patients whose health has been ravaged after taking Covid-19 vaccines are calling for more support as the Government faces paying out tens of millions of pounds in damages.
Almost 17,000 claims for disability damages have now been submitted after new information emerged about the potential risks including blood clots.
...more people are coming forward to report that have suffered a severe impact, with some linking their vaccines to major problems such as blood cancer, myasthenia gravis and heart disorders.
Almost all of these payments were related to the AstraZeneca vaccine Vaxrevia which triggered a blood clotting complication so rare it was missed in original clinical trials.
That vaccine was once heralded as a ‘triumph for British science’ but came under increasing scrutiny for a very rare complication that causes blood clots and low blood platelet counts.
AstraZeneca’s withdrawal comes months after admitting in legal documents its jab can cause thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), also known as VITT.“

Talking point
Look at that. It is admitted that 3.6M or more immigrants have arrived even since “free movement” within the EU ended! That was in December 2020, so that number have arrived in only 4 years! In rough terms, a million a year. Unsustainable. Catastrophic.
“Net” immigration “only 2.3M (or more, in fact more) in about the same time period, but what that means, mainly, is that about 100,000-200,000 (real) British have left every year, trying to get to places such as Australia or New Zealand, or retiring to Spain and other countries. Also, many of the more useful/skilled EU nationals have left.
Incidentally, those Brits going overseas are mostly either genuinely skilled or qualified persons, or have capital and intend to open small businesses, or (and/or) are retirees, who bring money into the countries where they settle, and mostly do not constitute a drain on resources. Quite different to most of the migrant-invaders coming to the UK, who are mostly poor, unqualified, unskilled, and who are a huge drain on resources of every kind, from shelter and housing, through education, hospitals and GP services, to police services (many migrants are petty or not so petty criminals) etc; all that and right through to alien hostiles who may be terroristic.
As to Brexit as a whole, it was deliberately sabotaged.

“Former Tory adviser“? Good grief. Just look at him. Just listen to him…
However much Labour is now already hated under Starmer, and despite the inherent absurdity of the “two main parties” binary political fix in England, I really cannot see the “Conservative” Party regaining much if any of its one-time support-level; in fact, I can see it declining further.
That, in turn, may give the uninspiring fake nationalism of Reform UK wings, despite the unexciting nature of most if not all of its 5 present MPs. It may be regarded by many angry/disenchanted voters as the only (protest) game in town.

It’s truly shocking how complicit these people in authority were in covering this up. I worked briefly early 2000’s on Operation Ore for West Midlands Police. It is my belief that the targetting of pedophiles was so successful they shut down the operation.
Well, this week 7/10, thus just beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 10. I admit that my (correct) answers to q.’s 4 and 9 were educated guesses.
Blog readers
I am always interested to see from where hits on the blog come. In the past week, from 16 different countries (inc. UK). Of course, with advances in technology, you cannot say for sure where readers are located; some may be, say, in Australia but appear to be in the USA, but I daresay most locations are accurate.
I was just looking at the apparent location of readers since I started the blog towards the end of 2016, so 8 years ago. Readers from 155 countries and territories in the world, so from about three-quarters of the world. There are 195 states in the world, plus some extra territories that do not have that status (such as Antarctica— and, yes I have had the odd hit from there, presumably from some scientist at a polar research base).
I have occasionally mused on who it might be in (inter alia) Lesotho, Antarctica, Greenland, Burkina Faso, the Aaland Islands (maybe I can guess who that particular one is), American Samoa, Chad, Tadjikistan, or Congo-Kinshasa, that is reading my thoughts and ideas.
The largest number of hits has always been from the UK, though (about 70%, with a further 10% from the USA).
The readership of the blog, on a daily basis, is still modest, never reaching over a thousand on any one day, and often not reaching even a hundred (I do not publicize the blog anywhere, and am not on Twitter/X or Facebook etc), but I have always taken the view that “one human soul is a big audience“.
Risible how System political scribblers, ivory-tower academics etc really still think that elections in the 2020s are still won by ridiculous local political footsoldiers knocking on doors, disturbing and and irritating householders, or by the voters reading the absolute shite put out on leaflets etc. This is 2024, not 1924…
John Rentoul seems unsure. He neither endorses nor dissents. He probably imagines that people actually read those (mostly) LibLabCon leaflets at election-time. Wrong; most, maybe 99%, go in the bin unread.
As for “average age 61, opposed to net zero“, what about “almost all (real) British” (as well)?

Blast(s) from the past
I just re-read the blog post about the infamous New Zealand massacre, which happened nearly 6 years ago, in 2019. Apparently, that blog post has had a rather small, disappointingly-small, number of hits; frankly, I think it is still worth reading. Anyway, here it is:
See also Ruth Smeeth, also a Hope not Hate figure, now (risibly) elevated to the totally-degraded House of Lords as “Baroness” Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Smeeth. A half-Jewish Zionist agent.
The thing that people REALLY, REALLY don't want to admit about the mass rape gangs which operated in the UK for decades is that their crimes were racially and religiously motivated and justified by the perpetrators.
(so much for their claims to be ancient, or to have any real connection to the Jews or Israelites mentioned in the Bible)…
“Here’s how all Zionist arguments collapse upon the slightest examination: “We were here first”: no, the Canaanites were, and many Palestinians have Canaanite DNA (& Jewish DNA as well, per Ben Gurion himself). Now prove yourself each of you is a direct descendant of someone who inhabited this land!
“We’re returning to our homeland” so said the French & Italians in Libya & Algeria “we are returning to & recovering Roman lands.” “But the West Bank is ours b/c of the bible”, that’s not how international law works, its utmost principle is a prohibition on acquisition of territory by force; i.e. you can’t just steal land by conquest & military power anymore!
“God promised it to us”; a) good luck arguing this in court. B) then why did he take it away from you for 2000 years? “We had a Jewish kingdom on this land for about 250 years”: and Muslims have been sovereign on this land for 1400 years! Does Greece have a right today to occupy Turkey’s Istanbul/Constantinople b/c it was once part of the Byzantine empire?
“The world gave us Israel in 1947”: no they didn’t & they don’t have the right to! The UN then had only 57 members out of 193 member states today. Even then, & despite intense US/Zionist lobbying & intimidation, only 33 states voted for (mostly white) the Partition Plan as a proposal. The partition resolution was never voted on at the UN Security Council.
“But we were persecuted in Europe for centuries culminating with the Holocaust”: but why should I pay the price of European savagery & antisemitism?
“We have a right to return 2,000 years later”, then why doesn’t my grandma have that right only 76 years later?
That’s why no state has a “right to exist”. Because who/what gave them that right?
Despite all this, Palestinians unrequitedly recognised Israel over 3 decades ago, accepted its existence as a fait accompli, & accepted less than 22% of our homeland; & that is called today “Palestinian maximalism/rejectionism”, while Israel offering us caged bantustans worse than apartheid South Africa is call “a generous offer”!
[Ashkenazic Jews in Jerusalem, c. 1885. God’s sake! Just look at them!]
“New research suggests that the majority of the world’s modern Jewish population is descended mainly from people from ancient Turkey, rather than predominantly from elsewhere in the Middle East.
The new research suggests that most of the Jewish population of northern and eastern Europe – normally known as Ashkenazic Jews – are the descendants of Greeks, Iranians and others who colonized what is now northern Turkey more than 2000 years ago and were then converted to Judaism, probably in the first few centuries AD by Jews from Persia. At that stage, the Persian Empire was home to the world’s largest Jewish communities.
According to research carried out by the geneticist, Dr Eran Elhaik of the University of Sheffield, over 90 per cent of Ashkenazic ancestors come from that converted partially Greek-originating ancient community in north-east Turkey.“

Could Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet be less competent?
Box-ticking former bureaucrat lawyer Starmer himself, Rachel Reeves the fake “economist” (aka “Rachel from Accounts” and/or the customer complaints dept, Halifax Building Society), “Refugees Welcome” idiot, expenses cheat and would-be dictator, Yvette Cooper, thick-as-two-short-planks “Deputy Prime Minister” Angela Rayner (and the rest).
It has already, after 6 months, got to the point where it is glaringly obvious that this fake “Labour” government has no more competence, indeed maybe even less, than had those of Sunak, Truss, “Boris”-idiot, May, and Cameron-Levita.
Interesting. The best aspect of that, were it to happen, would be the dismay amid the “woke” rabble of new Starmer-Labour MPs, over 150 of them, as they lose their seats and are forced to contemplate having to go back to doing mundane and probably badly-paid jobs again.

Europe’s largest economies, from 1961 to 2024. Interesting to see how some of the countries have improved or downgraded. Turkey, in particular, registered growth in the mid-sections of the list; East Germany/DDR was fairly high until the 1980s, when it fell like a stone. West Germany was high, and indeed at the top even before it absorbed the Eastern part in the 1990s, and has been pre-eminent since then. The Soviet Union as a whole was the largest economy overall for some time, but fell back in the 1980s, after which Russia started to climb, despite missing the other former Soviet republics, and has for some time been one of the five strongest economies (overall), in the top five. The UK has been in the top five consistently.
Of course, were that graphic to be expressed per capita rather than in gross terms, the situation would look very different.
Did you know there was a time when America was Art Deco, a blend of elegance and precision, marked by soaring towers and unshakable optimism?
Even after the Art Deco era, America was pre-eminent in terms of confident presentation at least, until the 1960s. Look, e.g., at a film such as North by Northwest (1959), with its ambience of, inter alia, Modern Movement architecture, as well as, later in the film, the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright.
I think the SRA have spotted a great opportunity for solicitors. If you're a solicitor, you find a reason to drop your client, come back on as an 'advisor', and do the work in any way, anyhow you like, not bound by any rules and regs. It encourages enterprise and initiative.
That refers to the egregiously poor, dishonest, and negligent behaviour exhibited by “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who is now supposedly domiciled in Israel, though he seems to spend much of his time in the UK, either making money out of clients (who seem rather poorly served), or thinking up stunts to publicize “antisemitism” and at the same time make money out of possible “compensation” (as in the failed stunt at the Reginald D. Hunter show at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, when he cooked up a plot with his wife, Mandy Blumenthal, and Daily Mail junior scribbler Sabrina Miller). See
My own opinion is that, after the contrived Jew-Zionist storm that ensued after the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal reprimanded Lewis and fined him in 2018, the SRA is running a bit scared of the Jew-Zionist lobby and their characteristic contrived “claque” behaviour.
I expect you are puzzled to be tagged in by X’s loudest KC, Simon Myerson?

As for “KC”, I have noted before on the blog how it signifies not very much these days: in 1938, the later Lord Denning took silk, with three others, I believe, but in 2024 no less than one hundred silks (KCs) were appointed. “More will mean worse“, as Kingsley Amis said once in another context.

That idiot seriously thinks that Britain was “dominant“, internationally, about 24 years ago! What planet is he on? Britain was then not only within the trammels of the EU etc, but was the “poodle” of the then Bush jnr. administration in the United States.
It really is about time that the British people demanded a lot more from the “security and intelligence” bods, or just dumped them, or most of them.
What has weakened Britain has been a combination of the migration-invasion, together with the changing demographics of the UK, the sliding standards in all areas of society, cultural degeneration, and the domination of the UK’s government, political life, courts, policing and mass media, inter alia, by the Israel lobby. Oh, and the near-collapse and uselessness of our armed forces (etc).
But the CAA collection aren't honest. Plus they are a charity run by intel svcs which is illegal.
The “CAA” cabal, effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, can be called (as blogged about in the past) a malicious little cabal. They threaten a lot, suborn police and CPS officials, are a damned nuisance, but accomplish little even by their own standards.
They should not, of course, be treated as a charity. For one thing, they are directly political; for another, the activity of the “CAA” exhibits no “public benefit”.
Myerson likes his drink a bit too much, according to eye witnesses in Leeds..
Is that true (about Myerson being a heavy drinker)? I have no idea, though if true it might partly explain his vituperative social media activity, which was at least part of the reason he was sacked (sub nom “resigned”) as a Recorder earlier in 2024. He certainly seems to stay up late, tweeting. Drinking too? As I say, I have no idea.

Saw an episode which had the former MP and Cabinet minister Justine Greening on one team. Her ignorance, though frankly unsurprising to me, should be regarded as shocking in a former Cabinet minister. She even thought that Fulham is south of the river Thames! Remarkable, in view of the fact that she lives, or lived, in Putney…
Strange woman. Once involved with the ghastly mixed-race “Conservative” activist and notorious bully, Mark Clarke (featured in the past on the blog and now, like Justine Greening herself, politically —and maybe otherwise— washed-up). I read that she is now what the Russians call a “lesbianka“, though that may or may not be the case.

Not the only such example; far from it. Google “Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan” and you will see what is behind such sentiments.
Who do the Starmer-Labour drones think will occupy those new houses, if ever built? Migrant-invaders, mostly, and/or their offspring. Already, there are huge areas occupied mainly by non-Europeans. Thamesmead, in the “******** of England”, is only one of many.
Incredibly, there are nearly 400,000 Twitter/X members still bothering to follow the “thoughts” of that useless creature, a Nigerian whose parents are NHS consultants; he apparently lives (or lived) in the attic of their house.
Actually, “Femi” [Oluwole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole] is a good example of why “points-based” immigration does not work. His parents would be (under a points-based system, had one existed in the 1980s) allowed in because (presumably) well-educated, professionally qualified etc (one a surgeon, the other a paediatrician). That, however, does not guarantee that the offspring of those allowed in will be of any use to the country!
Femi Oluwole has never yet managed to work an actual job, let alone qualify for any profession or skilled occupation, despite having attended a fee-paying school, and despite having been enabled (by his parents’ affluence) to undertake several “internships” across the UK and Europe after having been awarded a degree in law and French at Nottingham University. His longest stretch of near-work was a year or so heading an EU-funded anti-Brexit operation in London. That was about 7-8 years ago.
Femi Oluwole is now 34 (35 in March 2025) and occasionally appears on platforms such as Sky News as a talking head (every “British” TV discussion, quiz show or whatever apparently now requires at least one black, despite the fact that actual blacks still constitute only about 4% or 5% of the population).
I thought, a couple of years ago, that Oluwole was aiming at becoming a Labour MP, but apparently not, unless he tried but was rejected (I do not know).
I presume that Oluwole makes some kind of living via online clicks etc, as well as by occasional TV appearances.
Oluwole is in fact a completely useless African loudmouth and know-nothing, yet is treated as somehow relevant by Sky News etc. A sign of how sick the “British” msm really is. He represents no-one and nothing, and has nothing of interest to say.
