Diary Blog, 18 April 2026, including a few thoughts about Starmer, Labour, Muslim voters, the Jewish/Israel lobby, and the Mandelson scandal

Saturday quiz

Well, this week a modest 5/10, but still enough to beat political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 2, 3, 8, and 10, should have got questions 4 and 10 but did not, and my answer to question 2 was a wild guess but, to my surprise, correct. I may have dredged it up from my subconscious mind, maybe a submerged childhood memory.

Question 4 is not correct, in part of its premises anyway.

[“The claim that nobody at the heart of government — ie close to Starmer — knew Mandelson had flunked his security vetting is unravelling at a rate of knots.
Starmer’s head of comms was alerted by the media last September.
Sources tell me multiple folks in the Cabinet Office (where the UK Security Vetting unit is based) had known for quite some time.
Cat Little, Cabinet Office Permanent Secretary, even had a copy of the UK Sec Vet January 2025 document concluding Mandelson was unfit to be US ambassador.
She informed the new cabinet secretary Antonia Romeo.
Soon there were about a dozen lawyers and officials crawling all over it.
Such matters don’t stay secret for long in the upper echelons of Whitehall.
But it seems the PM was still in the dark … until last Tuesday.
Mmmmmm.”
]

In a sense, a political-nerd/Westminster Bubble story and scandal. I cannot believe that, in public bars and golf clubs, people talk of little else, but it does tend to support the now-embedded narrative that Starmer-stein is either dishonest or incompetent, or both, which I myself have believed for several years.

As frequently blogged previously, as far as the Pakistani/Muslim rape gangs are concerned, Starmer and Labour cannot afford to “offend” the voting bloc consisting of Muslims, especially, because they are now at least 6% or 8%, and moving towards 10%, of the population. By the time of the next general election (probably 2029 if elections are not “suspended” by reason of a contrived war against Russia), that ~10% bloc will be about half, maybe even two-thirds, of the Labour vote; Muslims are already at least a third of Labour voters nationwide. At present, Labour is polling at around 20%; without the Muslim voters, that would sink to 15% or lower, certainly by 2029.

At the same time, Starmer-stein himself is of course heavily pro-Jew, pro-Israel, is married to a Jewish woman, and has children being brought up as if full-Jew. He belongs to Labour Friends of Israel, and much of Starmer’s —and Labour’s— recent funding has come via Jewish links.

Starmer and his government are, therefore, being pulled in opposing directions, and are in any case incompetent and rudderless.

Well, that translates to a Commons with about 293 Reform UK MPs (about 33 short of an overall majority), 84 Cons (very weak official Opposition), 78 Greens, 69 LibDems, 53 Lab, and 45 SNP [etc].

Once again, on those figures, Starmer would lose his own seat, a potential fact indicated by all recent (for several months) opinion polling.

One joker in the GE 2029 pack might be Restore Britain. If it stood enough candidates, it would split the “conservative-nationalist” vote, hitting Reform worst; maybe the Cons a little as well.

Restore at present does not look like it can supplant underwhelming Reform, so they might end up competing for more or less the same bloc of votes. I have little time for Reform, but it really is, at present, the only game in town if you want to wipe out Lab and Con (leaving aside the loonie new Greens, with their pro-drug and pro-mass immigration policies).

The above result, a hung Parliament, might be the best result for social nationalism: the System parties gravely and perhaps mortally wounded, and Reform unable to govern effectively without Con MP-votes. That might in turn lead to a demand for real social nationalism. As Lenin may have said, “the worse, the better“.

That opinion poll again underlines the main or central fact: people are voting against the System parties, not for either the Greens or Reform.

The UK— a country sliding to disorder and some sort of civil/social war.

If so, and as I expect, the central fact, or “big story” will be the collapse of both main System parties.

The local elections, many of which Labour tried to “postpone”, are about more than just local council seat numbers. Council seats are often training grounds for future MPs and, though mostly unpaid, do provide “expenses” of various kinds, and there is actual remuneration for those in charge of local “cabinet” briefs at the various councils. At large councils, that can add up to quite a good quasi-salary.

If Lab and Con are massively culled on 7 May 2026, that cripples their local organizations, and that has knock-on effects at the later general election (currently expected to be in 2029).

In fact, I think that only three local election leaflets have been put though my own door (New Forest area) so far: Reform UK, LibDems, and an Independent lady (the most impressive-looking candidate, arguably).

The main System parties have not put their tawdry wares on display here, so far.

…and if that proves to be “impossible”, then we have other and permanently-effective solutions.

Ecce American “democracy”…

Certainly, women often tend to vote based on emotional responses, or superficialities. Difficult question.

I do think that voting in national elections in the UK should be restricted to persons of 28+ years. Having said that, only about 40% or so of those under 28 vote anyway: see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cley905dg20o.

Very true…

Tweeter “6070y80aqui” has obviously never heard of Paula Vennels, Dido Harding etc (or Liz Truss, Antonia Romeo etc)…

In fact, I should say that that tweeter “6070y80aqui” has almost certainly had little experience of capitalism or capitalist enterprises in practice.

Interesting and rather true, quite often.

That last sentence, about female judges, is very true. Usually unwilling to take a really independent stand against the accepted sentiment or expected result.

A horrible tribe, and their State of Israel is now a diseased and cancerous blot on the world.

Whether Starmer-stein goes or stays, there will not be any general election called, because both Labour and Conservative MPs know that, should they vote, or vote in effect, for that, they will be turkeys voting for Christmas. Current polling suggests that, out of 513 Con and Lab MPs currently in place, only about 130-150 would survive a general election; only a third, maybe only a quarter of the present Lab/Con MPs would survive.

Of course, alcohol abuse has always been a problem in Russia, for many many centuries, but (arguably) became far worse under Soviet rule, despite periodic attempts to deal with the problem. I think that, had Andropov survived, and been in good health, he might have managed to cut alcoholism and alcohol misuse tremendously. Andropov might also have managed to salvage the Soviet system as a whole. Gorbachev never really tried to do either, not harshly enough anyway.

[“Neighbours have finally broken their silence on the horror house in Banks, Lancashire, and the truth about Axel Rudakubana is as ugly as expected.

This Rwandan import, the 17-year-old son of Alphonse and Laetitia Rudakubana, was raised in a cauldron of screams, grunts, and objects hurled against walls.

He hadn’t stepped out alone in over two years. On the morning of 29 July 2024 his parents and brother simply watched him leave anyway.

Empty knife boxes littered the place. He glared through English neighbours like they were already corpses.

The signs were everywhere; the imported family ignored them, obstructed authorities, and let the monster walk free into a Taylor Swift dance class, which begs the question, they should be held accountable at the very least.

Three native English girls, Bebe, Alice, Elsie butchered. Ten more slashed and scarred for life. All because Britain imported this family from Rwanda’s chaos and pretended they could be turned into civilised locals.

The public inquiry mutters about “moral failure” by the parents and systemic breakdowns. Fine. But the root failure is national: a deliberate policy of flooding English villages with Third World imports whose cultural DNA carries violence, dysfunction, and zero loyalty to our people.

Axel Rudakubana did not spring from English soil. He arrived with it, was sheltered by it, and unleashed it on our daughters.

The family has scarpered into hiding, no doubt on the taxpayer’s dime. The neighbours endure a living nightmare.

The house is for sale like tainted goods. And still the elite refuses to say the obvious: mass immigration from incompatible corners of the globe imports incompatible savagery.

Native English children are not collateral damage in some enrichment experiment.

England belongs to the English.

Our streets, our villages, our daughters’ safety come first, before any foreign import, any asylum sob story, any diversity quota.

Hold them to account and then Deport the remnants of this family. End the importation. Reclaim our country before the next Rudakubana strikes. Nothing less will suffice.“]

[“He did not believe in God.
He did not speak Hebrew.
Two of his three sons took their own lives.
He considered Palestinian native Jews an inferior class to Jews of European descent.
He was weighing between Argentina and Palestine as the place for establishing his “Jewish State,” but chose Palestine to deceive more people by linking the new state of Israel to the ancient Israelite people.

Here is the father of Zionism: Theodor Herzl. There are more than 50 streets named after him in the modern state of Israel, more than any other national figure.

From beginning to end, this has been a grand farce: this is not the biblical Israel, this is not the nation of the prophets and patriarchs of old, this is not God’s chosen people nor the restoration of the House of David: that is not their star nor their banner!

They are false Jews, with a stolen land, pretending to be the “chosen ones” of a God in whom they do not believe and whom they serve even less.“]

While Restore Britain (Rupert Lowe) is ideologically rather better than Reform UK (Nigel Farage), the fact is that the major System parties need to be destroyed or mortally wounded, or greatly weakened. At present, that is up to 2029, only Reform UK has the public profile to do that. Once Reform fails to fulfil its promise(s), real social nationalism can rise up.

The local elections of 7 May 2026 will be an interesting look at what the public are thinking.

In my local area (New Forest), I have received through the letterbox only two campaign leaflets so far, one a week ago from the LibDems and, only today, one from Reform UK.

Kiev-regime Ukraine is a puppet-state, a non-state.

The disastrous end of the Second World War let the evil genie out of the bottle, not only in Palestine and the wider Middle East but also in the USA, UK, France and elsewhere.

Over 2,000 in the UK alone. Plus those facilitating Zionism from North London and other locations. Looks like we need a Witchfinder-General of the modern age.

God, what a horrible tribe they are.

I am sorry for the ordinary Ukrainians (and their companion animals) who are suffering by reason of this terrible war, but the fact is that the Zelensky Jew-Zionist cabal is mainly culpable.

I have to say, also, that, with the possible exception of H.E. Mr. Kommissarenko, the one-time Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK (whom I took to the Porton Down microbiological research centre in Wiltshire about 30 or more years ago), I have never met any Ukrainian who was other than pretty dim-witted. Easily fooled, easily ruled, in my opinion.

Dim-wittedness is also usually the case when a Twitter/X account is seen flying the Ukrainian flag.

Hard questions this week. I only got 4/10, same as political journalist John Rentoul, and I admit that one of those (no.6) was a shot-in-the-dark guess. Apart from no. 6, I knew the answers to questions 2, 5, and 9 (and came close to getting no. 8 as well, but missed).

Not very polite, but entirely justified. That over-promoted and useless part-Jew sack of whatever has been a poison in British public life for 25 years, and now continues to inject poison via his brainless newspaper scribbling.

No, they did not. Had I been the Iranian decision-maker, I should have used every single missile and drone to attack Israel simultaneously before the Israeli Jews and their tail-wags-dog “ally”, the USA, attacked. I said that on the blog a few times recently. Get the retaliation in first, as the Israelis do. Why wait to be attacked, and have your defensive and offensive capabilities degraded?

If it does, the Israelis will deserve it, though those that suffer are usually not the leadership cadres mostly responsible.

As blogged on many previous occasions, Labour is runnning out of road because its whole (original) purpose has gone. Same is true, mutatis mutandis, of the Conservative Party.

In fact, the “family voting” scandal (coercive control within Muslim families and clans) at Gorton and Denton was far higher than the 12% figure mentioned (which comes from the volunteer monitors allowed access to polling stations).

Add to that 12% a very considerable figure by reason of the same coercion and control affecting postal voting. I expect that about a fifth of votes, 20%, were postal votes, at least a third from Pakistani Muslim voters, so call it 6%, to err, if at all, on the cautious side.

So about 18% of all votes cast might be tainted, and most of those would have been for the Greens. Take away 18% from the 40.6% officially scored by the Greens, and you get about 23%. That would put Hannah Spencer and the Greens below both Reform and Labour, and mean that Matt Goodwin should have been elected…

Of course, non-whites should not be allowed to vote anyway (or stand for election), but we are where we are.

Don’t bother with most American targets; you will not be able to do enough damage to their overall capability. Focus on Israel. Schwerpunkt.

Let Starmer be himself“? Does that involve those Ukrainian rent boys?

Once again, we see Farage’s folly in allowing corrupt Middle Eastern pro-Israel puppets such as Zahawi not only to join Reform UK but also to take senior roles in it. Fatal.

That Ant Middleton person, a former soldier/Marine/SBS operative, is very typical of many: thinks that British interests align with those of the USA and even Israel. No, they do not, not our true interests.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_Middleton

Israeli Jew politician lies. Quelle surprise.

…and the same goes for “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime).

The Iranians are in danger of spreading themselves too thin. There is only one worthwhile land target— Israel. Within that territory, three or four main targets— Dimona nuclear site; ben-Gurion Airport; Central Tel Aviv and nearby wealthy suburbs and towns, such as Ra’anana and Herzliya.

Concentration of force. Force focus. Schwerpunkt.

Farage really is a useless bastard. Reform UK is doing fairly well now despite him, not because of him; because people want rid of both Lab and Con, so Reform is in the frame, at present.

Another puppet of Israel and the Jewish lobby.

Quite, but then both Farage and Kemi Badenoch, among many others, are puppets of the Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby in the UK, a fifth column, and which is basically a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy.

Were Matt Goodwin, who has been on an ideological journey for the past decade, to come out against Israel and the UK Jewish lobby, he could depose Farage, take Reform UK in a more social-national direction, win by-elections more often, and Reform might then really start to take position as an alternative government.

No argument, but at present only the “Reform” brand has any real public profile. The old parties have to be killed off first.

She is right. The whole thing just does not stack up. My second thought was the analogy with Pearl Harbor (my first having been astonishment that the Palestinian Arabs could have both planned such an attack and also kept the plans secret).

Voters must be able to enter and leave freely, without pressure, obstruction or intimidation.“]

Life is complex.

There are very many systems of numerology. Under one of the simplest (applicable to Latin-alphabet languages), A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=1, K=2, L=3, M=4, N=5, O=6, P=7, Q=8, R=9, S=1, T=2, U=3, V=4, W= 5, X=6, Y=7, Z=9.


Under that system, Ian Robert Millard would be:

Ian 9+1+5 = 15. Then 1+5 = 6.

Robert 9+6+2+5+9+2 = 33. Then 3+3 = 6.

Millard 4+9+3+3+1+9+4 = 33. Then 3+3 = 6.

So Ian Robert Millard = 666.

Life is not that simple, though. I am not “the Beast” or, indeed, the ruler of the world but, like Parzival/Parsifal, a human soul hopefully “slowly wise“, and living the quietest and most peaceful and obscure of lives, at least most of the time.

I have blogged previously, several times, about the Gorton and Denton by-election. From (obviously) a considerable distance, I see it as being very close among Reform/Greens/Labour, but I just cannot see who would vote Labour now, in that seat or elsewhere.

Having said that, the one-third of eligible voters in the by-election who are Pakistani Muslims are hard to fathom. Many cannot even speak English, and their educational level is probably rock-bottom. Who knows what their motivations might be? Labour is said to have an effective electoral machine up there (though journalists say that little has been seen of Labour canvassers etc).

I can see the dilemma of the Muslim voters, perhaps unwilling to vote Labour because it is a Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment, also unwilling (perhaps) to vote Green because Green policies include the decriminalization of both drugs (all drugs) and pornography (all pornography?), yet unwilling to vote for the (supposedly) anti-migration-invasion Reform UK.

The Muslims would probably have voted for George Galloway or his candidate, but he has endorsed the Green Party candidate, thus greatly boosting the Greens’ chances.

I should imagine that most white English/British voters in the seat will be voting Reform; we shall see. To vote any other way would be turkeys voting for Christmas.

My own feeling is that Matt Goodwin, for Reform, could still do this, but it may run very close.

Reform’s weakness has always been its finance-capitalist and also its pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby orientation. Farage welcoming deadheads, freeloaders, and/or non-Brits such as Nadine Dorries, Nadhim Zahawi etc has weakened the Reform “brand”, no question. Matt Goodwin himself has openly criticized that, and Farage has (retaliation?) gone to the Chagos Islands (well, offshore there) instead of slogging it out on the by-election front-lines with Goodwin. Not impressive.

Were Reform more social-national, even it it fell far short of my policy positions, it would be on 50% in the opinion polls, not between 24% and 28%.

That poll shows not only Con and Lab, but also the Greens and LibDems almost on the same level: 18%, 18%, 17%, and 14%. Reform still leading the pack, though not convincingly.

Of course, a victory for Reform in the by-election would certainly give them a national boost.

Incidentally, that latest poll would indicate a Commons with about 291 Reform MPs (some distance short of a majority), Greens 80 (official, albeit very weak, Opposition!), Cons 79, LibDems 74, Labour 53, SNP 45 [etc].

[“Exclusive: Two of the key documents held by the government on Lord Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador will not be made public until after the police investigation and any criminal trial has concluded It means it will be months or even possibly years before they see the light of day That includes the Cabinet Office due diligence report given to Keir Starmer prior to Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador It details public evidence about their friendship – the fact Mandelson stayed at Epstein’s New York apartment while he was in jail for sex offences, the JP Morgan report saying the two men had a ‘particularly close’ relationship It will raise significant questions about Starmer’s judgment The three questions Starmer put to Mandelson and his responses will also be withheld.

Starmer-stein and those behind him (Israel lobby, Jewish lobby, MOSSAD, the Trilateral Commission, NWO/ZOG etc) are desperate not to have exposed the conspiracy that has embedded itself in Labour— and in the UK as a whole.

I believe that that uninfluential Twitter/X account is or was run by a Jewish woman who tweeted once or twice, inaccurately, about me, though years ago.

Whatever the truth of that, Amazon is thoroughly under “the usual” baleful influence. I was once a “top 50” reviewer (in the UK) on Amazon UK, voted so by readers, but a concerted campaign of faked complaint by Jews meant that hundreds of my reviews were deleted with neither warning nor any right of appeal. One Jew, a “Daniel Sevitt” (now resident in Ra’anana near Tel Aviv, but of UK-resident origins) organized it, I discovered later (he admitted his crime publicly, online, and in fact appeared proud of his activity). He now “replies” on Twitter/X, and in very insolent terms to any anti-Israel tweeters (who never addressed him in the first place). Another Jewish-Zionist loonie. https://x.com/danielsevitt.

In fact, even the Jewish Chronicle reported on the then-“anonymous” complaint about my reviews, prior to their removal.

I then started to review on the Amazon USA site but, not long after that, and with no warning, every single one of my reviews was removed. Same Jew? I do not know for evidential certain, but it had to be. Anyway, who cares whether it was Jew “X”, Jew “Y” or Jew “Z”? Same thing.

Many of those reviews, probably the majority, were neither about Jews, Israel, WW2 etc, nor even mentioned those topics, incidentally.

So much for “freedom of expression”, not only in the UK but also in the USA. The (((influence))) is pervasive. For now…

Maybe one or two of those Iranian missiles being prepared will, in case of war breaking out again, go astray. One can but hope.

Israel was founded mainly by the sweepings of the ghettos and prisons of Europe, partly by terrorism and ethnic cleansing. “They” just have better weapons now.

If only civilized Europe (Britain, France) had retained control of the entire Middle East, as a joint imperial power. The Jews (in Israel, at least…) are now running wild. Savage. Cruel. As a reaction to their subordination and exploitation (and quasi-genocide) the Arabs and others have reacted against the West. The [Israeli] Jews and their fifth column in the West are responsible.

Incidentally, thanks to Google, I now know that “Akkoub” is this:

“It is highly prized in regional cuisine and culture, often considered a delicacy that appears for a short period in early spring (February–March).

Akkoub (Arabic: عكوب), known scientifically as Gundelia tournefortii and sometimes referred to as “tumble thistle,” is a wild, edible, and medicinal thistle-like plant native to the Middle East, particularly the Levantine region (Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria)

Key Aspects of Akkoub:

  • Taste and Usage: It is often described as having a taste similar to a combination of artichoke, asparagus, and sometimes cauliflower. It is typically prepared by frying with olive oil and onions, cooking in a stew with meat, or served with yogurt.
  • Preparation: Preparing akkoub is labor-intensive because the plant is extremely spiny. The edible parts (undeveloped flower buds, stems, and roots) must be separated from the thorny leaves.
  • Cultural Significance: In Palestine, it is viewed as a symbol of connection to the land, resilience, and identity.
  • Medicinal Uses: Traditionally, it has been used to treat various ailments, including liver diseases, diabetes, and digestive issues.
  • Harvesting: It is foraged from the wild rather than farmed, leading to concerns about overharvesting and sustainability.
  • “Eggs” (Bayd): In Lebanon, the undeveloped, tender flower heads are often referred to as “eggs” (bayd) because of their shape.”

Well, I agree with the lady’s premise (i.e. that is is perhaps foolish to guess the result in such a tight contest), but my guess anyway would be the exact opposite of hers: Reform, Greens, Labour. We shall soon know.

If Reform form a government but then fail to deliver (entirely possible, looking at their Jewish-lobby, Israel-lobby tie-ins), then the game will be in the hazard, as Shakespeare put it.

Exactly. I do not know whether Farage is weakening Reform UK deliberately, or simply out of ineptitude. I have blogged before, some long time ago, about how Farage is not really a very clever politician. That of course sounds counter-intuitive after the repeated near-successes— UKIP, Brexit Party and now, writ much larger, Reform UK.

It seems absurd in a way, to think that Farage may be a System catspaw, but his actions are sometimes very strange for someone leading an insurgent political force. Also, when Farage entered the Chamber of the House of Commons for the first time, Starmer himself crossed the floor and welcomed him, with every sign of genuine bonhomie. Simple courtesy? “Democratic” politicians’ comity? Maybe…

The Reform “brand” has definitely been weakened by having the previously-Con ministers and MPs, mostly corrupt, freeloading, or incompetent, joining on a quasi-senior level.

There is something very fishy about the whole of Farage’s behaviour. Deep-cover NWO/ZOG agent?

Sample size, though typical, still only 401 out of nearly 80,000, i.e. 1 out of every 200 registered voters, about half of one percent.

The likely error margin must be several points, rendering the pecking order implausible. It may be correct, it may not be. On the figures themselves, only 1 point or less separates the three main contenders.

Anyone voting Conservative is wasting their vote; they should vote Reform. Tactical voting. Again, they may or may not do so.

Wide-open.

We know where this will end up, a few years down the line. We are just “not allowed” to say so…

Wall. Squad. End. 10-30 rounds and no more trouble from them.

In the other recent significant by-election, Labour and Starmer-stein were humiliated when Reform won by a mere 6 votes. It might be as close as that, either way, at Gorton and Denton.

This is just completely unacceptable in any society aspiring to basic decency.

As previously blogged, were I the Iranian leader, I should focus every missile and drone I had on Israel, particularly Dimona, Tel Aviv central areas (and wealthy nearby suburbs and towns), and ben-Gurion Airport. Then press the buttons.

Why wait until the Israelis and the “tail wags dog” Americans (under Jew-Zionist control or influence) attack you, and badly damage your military resources?

Is that true? I have no idea.

Again, surely that is too late? We are talking about a possible attack on Iran within days, quite likely.

Over a decade ago, fake Labour was still pumping out mendacious bs…

That by-election is going to be close, perhaps very close.

Hannah Spencer is a typical pseudo-liberal hypocrite and fake. In fact, I doubt whether she is really “a plumber” at all. She may be, I suppose, but she looks like a fake generally to me.

As to the Green Party, its leader is a Jew with a fake name. Even the Jews generally seem to dislike him.

Why? Because —leaving aside the details and the nuances— the USA was one of two world superpowers, or maybe even then the only real one. Now it is certainly the only real superpower, and with that come the responsibilities and problems of empire.

Within a decade, the USA will probably be joined, as a world superpower, by China.

Of course, if the USA provokes a war with Russia, China may then be left as the sole world superpower, the other two contenders having, in that contingency, ruled themselves out by destroying each other.

Don’t forget the Jew-Zionists. They are the ones predominantly trying to close down free speech and freedom of expression in the UK, using contrived complaints to police, Crown Prosecution Service, and professional regulators, as well as themselves undertaking malicious private prosecutions (so-called “lawfare”), to that end.

Monkeyworld.

Had I been the sort of person who trims and compromises for careerist reasons, I could have joined a “mainstream” party decades ago, and might now be an MP, even Prime Minister, who knows? (though the Jew-Zionist element has files on me going back to the mid-1970s, so would probably have sabotaged that anyway). I am just not a careerist, and prefer to follow my conscience and the good of the whole people.

After all, “what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” [Mark 8:36].

Sophie, should you happen to read this blog, good luck, but the fact is that the Bar of England and Wales is now, to a large extent, a dustbin anyway, not worth joining.

I speak as a former practising barrister who practised in chambers for a total of 10 years (1992-1996 and 2002-2008), and also spent another ~3 years in employed/salaried practice).

Well, the betting (see below, taken from a random tweet seen) is heavily on the Green clowns to win at Gorton and Denton, but I have found over the past 10-15 years that betting odds are a poor predictor of by-election results.

My own assessment, admittedly from far away geographically (central-southern coast) is that there is all to play for, bearing in mind that over a quarter of the voters there are saying that they are as yet undecided (or are many of the “undecided” really secret Reform sympathisers? We shall find out on Thursday).

One thing is for sure. Any vote not for Reform, Green, or Labour is a totally wasted vote.

Matt Goodwin has now, suddenly, at the peak of the by-election campaigning, had the System msm bring up various stray allegations against him. “Black propaganda”. That, despite Goodwin being pro-Jew, pro-Israel etc.

The System is afraid of someone such as Goodwin, who is not completely under (((control))) and who veers toward a slightly social-national socio-political stance, becoming an MP. Types such as Farage and Tice are not a real danger to the System.

I can see that a society might develop in the UK, a society that is so dystopian, that only firing squads in the streets would be able to restore law and order…

2036? 2046? Earlier?

Cold comfort for the Kiev regime, and also, unfortunately, for the ordinary people of Ukraine, and their companion animals. They would be so much better off under Russian rule, rather than the rule of the coalition of Jew-Zionist tricksters and echt-Ukrainian thugs as at present.

As if anyone is going to listen to that stupid bimbo.

Whatever Farage may be doing, Goodwin is hitting hard on all of the important by-election issues. I still think he can pull this off, with a fair wind behind him.

It seems to me that Gorton and Denton has all the problems of the rest of the UK but writ large because it is and always was a deprived area. Labour is patently not going to win convincingly, and probably not at all. Labour’s 2024 50.8% of the vote might end up being, in the by-election, 30%, 25%, 20%, maybe even 15%. The voters that vote (i.e. those that are not already in a state of apathetic despair, and the 2024 General Election turnout was only 46.8%…) will be looking for salvation wherever they see it: Reform, or even the increasingly loonie Greens. The Muslim factor is important too. Starmer’s regime is a Labour Friends of Israel one. Muslims are around a third of Gorton and Denton voters.

On the wider picture, this by-election will be around why Britain is increasingly sliding, why “nothing works” (or works properly), and why society itself, as a whole, is ceasing to work, or function properly. Also, the issue of the disconnect between the 5% or 1% who are becoming ever-wealthier, and the other 95%-99%. The msm and the Westminster Bubblers (politicos, scribblers, talking heads on radio and TV) are almost all in the “everything’s OK really in the UK” camp. Few other people are.

So says the “Green” (fake “green”) “leader”, a Jewish loonie with a fake name.

Are Muslims in the constituency really going to vote Green, now knowing what they do?

Saturday quiz

Well, this week another narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul— 4/10, as against Rentoul’s 3/10.

I knew the answers to questions 1, 4, 7, and 9. I could not remember the answer to question 6, did not think long enough to get question 3, and had no idea about the most of the others; question 5 has several possible answers (though one stands out, I now know); the instrument I guessed was one of the (4 or 5) musical instruments Marie Antoinette played, though not the one wanted by the quizmaster, it seems, so I have not awarded myself that one.

A few extra thoughts about Mandelson, Epstein, and the whole Jew-lobby scandal at and around Starmer-stein’s government

First thought: saw Gordon Brown on TV news lamenting about it all, and excoriating Mandelson. Well, OK, but you, Brown, you loony and hypocrite, knew all about his general sleaziness, his sexual proclivities, his activities in London youth clubs etc, going back as far as the 1970s, and his willingness to cheat and scheme to make money, as with his mortgage and loan and property activities in the late 1990s, which activities in fact attracted the attention of the police at the time, until their investigation was interfered with, and they were warned off.

Second thought: how useless is MI5, that they seem either to have been unaware of the Mandelson and Epstein connection or, far more likely, were unwilling to rock the political boat? Same goes for SIS, incidentally.

Third thought: so Jews conspired to make money illicitly? Quelle surprise… oh, no, wait…

As I blogged years ago, about 5 years ago, Starmer (to my then slight surprise) turned out to be utterly clueless.

Not many lawyers in the modern era are much good as politicians, though I suppose one could reference Lenin. Or Castro [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Castro#Career_in_law_and_politics:_1950%E2%80%931952]. A few others too, maybe.

Some might include Mandela, but he was never really a lawyer, just a “gopher” in a law firm for a while, until awarded a law degree on the nod while a celebrity prisoner in the 1980s, and aged about 70. He had failed his law degree three times in the late 1940s, when about 30 years old.

As for Starmer-stein, Matt Goodwin and Reform UK must be loving this heady mixture of cluelessness and corruption in the present fake “Labour” government. Only 17 days until the Gorton and Denton by-election.

Many will later turn to social national politics.

I blogged previously that all three leading contenders might score around 30%, leading to a very close result. Were Labour to win by a small margin, that would still be a negative sign, because Labour scored 50.8% there only last year.

Anti-Reform tactical voters will have to decide which party is more likely to be able to defeat Reform. Either Labour or the Greens. Polls presently put Labour ahead of the Greens, but that may not reflect feeling among those actually going to vote.

Reform is still slightly ahead in the opinion polling at Gorton and Denton, but it is hard to say where the voters will be by 26 February, the polling day. I begin to think that the Labour vote might collapse, by reason of abstention as much as via defection. That might or not boost the Green vote, but would probably lead to a Reform triumph.

I blogged about Carns yesterday. Someone who would go down well with the public, on first showing, and because of his background, but who is an unknown quantity ideologically.

Ex-officers usually disappoint as MPs. Examples from recent years would include Dan Jarvis and Johnny Mercer.

Well, we shall see.

The very slow but inexorable advance continues along much of the overall front. There are no Kiev-regime advances, and have not been for at least a year or so.

[“I was born in Woking, Surrey, less than a mile from the site of the Shah Jahan mosque, the first built in Britain. Growing up in Woking my friends and I soon learnt that the Pakistani community acted differently to us. They operated like a clan, like a gang. If you crossed one, you would find a dozen brothers and cousins waiting for you outside the school gates. As English people who had small, quite independent families, this clan loyalty and mindset was nearly impossible to contend with. ‘Turn the other cheek’ my mother used to say. Never easy though when you’ve seen your friend have his teeth kicked in by a mob for a minor instance of perceived disrespect. We used to play pool at the Planets in Woking town centre after school, however it wasn’t long before this was taken over by the Pakistani clans from Maybury. They’d pelt us with pool balls and intimidate us to leave. It was their territory now. So spare me your victimhood @sajidjavid.”]

Ah. Just what I wondered about earlier in the day.

Starmer-stein is a real office-politics tiger, isn’t he? Useless at anything else.

I see many tweets and other online comments about the supposed “Ukrainian rent boys”, their alleged connection with Starmer-stein, and their delayed trials. I wonder what might be the truth about all that…

…and the same [kind of] police pretend to be terribly shocked when tasked with bothering social-national bloggers such as myself, or satirical singers such as Alison Chabloz, or public speakers such as Jez Turner (etc).

One begins to wonder whether there is much point in even having a police force of the kind the UK now has. Like so many long-established UK institutions (Monarchy, the Bar, the Church of England, the ancient universities, SIS, MI5, Parliament, the NHS etc), the police need “a revaluation of all values“.

As for sleazy Alastair Campbell, what his tweet tells me is that he, and all the other Labourite drones, are getting very desperate. As if it really matters that Reform in Gorton and Denton may have sent out a few leaflets without the correct labelling.

The Jew Mandelson “very greedy” and “always looking for money“? Well, who would have thought it?

Maybe I should relocate to Hungary, which at least will not be directly targeted in any nuclear exchange. I rather liked the lakeside suite I had in 2001, with its direct access to the gardens and lake (Balaton). I swam in the lake, and enjoyed an evening palinka (or two).

[“Iran has prepared a large-scale plan to counter the US armed forces and pressure on the global economy. According to the Tasnim agency affiliated with the IRGC, within a few hours after a possible US attack, Iran will launch massive strikes with ballistic missiles and drones on US military facilities throughout the region, expanding the conflict zone beyond its borders.

Tehran also relies on its cyberwar capabilities – attacks on US logistics, disruptions in the command and control system, and creating chaos among countries hosting American forces. The IRGC’s naval forces have been practicing the “swarm” tactic – attacks by small boats equipped with missiles and torpedoes to overload and suppress large warships. Blocking the Strait of Hormuz could lead to an increase in oil prices above $200 per barrel, which would cause serious damage to the global economy and increase pressure on Washington.

Hossein Shariatmadari stated that Iran could block the passage of American, French, British, and German ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s strategic goal is to create an unstable multi-front confrontation for the US, forcing American forces to simultaneously face pressure in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and potentially in Syria, while protecting its allies in the Persian Gulf and ensuring the safety of sea routes.“]

Were I the Iranian leadership, I should think that all Iran’s missiles should be targeted on Israel, focussing on a few main targets— Dimona, Ben-Gurion Airport, central Tel Aviv and affluent areas in that region, such as Ra’anana and Herzliya.

Still, it’s their party…

This is what the [Israeli] Jews do during a “ceasefire”…

The Jews (Israeli Jews, but supported by most Jews in other countries such as the USA, UK, France etc) have done this, and continue to do this.

For once, “they” tell the truth. Unusual candour.

Most of the important early “Russian” communists, both Bolshevik and Menshevik, were not Russian at all but Jews or part-Jews. Lenin himself was either half or quarter Jew.

I have already blogged about the craven and disgraceful behaviour of Tice (especially) and Farage.

“They” always try either to intimidate or to bribe. Those are their primary weapons.

Would translate to a Commons with about 406 Reform UK MPs, 87 Labour, 53 LibDems, 44 SNP, 16 Cons, 9 Greens.

On those figures, Kemi Badenoch would lose her seat.

Some truth in both of those tweets, but the “socialist” tweeter has apparently missed the point that the Labour and Conservative parties also are replete with “wealthy men (and women) in suits“, and laughing even more at the British people as they pocket their salaries, expenses (often fraudulent) and outside business opportunities, donations, freebies etc.

Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, and Angela Rayner have been among the worst freeloaders. Yvette Cooper and her now ex-MP husband, Ed Balls, were of course also actual expenses cheats (same goes for Rachel Reeves), lucky not to have been prosecuted for fraud in the past (when MP expenses were even less-monitored than they now are).

Not necessarily, but it is a good campaigning message in a situation where Starmer-stein is despised and even hated by many voters.

My own take on that is that Starmer has little self-awareness, and will cling on to the bitter end. A lost by-election at Gorton and Denton might be that end, or it might not. The May 2026 local elections (those that have not been “postponed” or “cancelled”) might also be that end, or might not be. Open question at present.

Not quite as striking as other very recent polls, but the end result not much different in big-picture terms.

Would translate to a Commons with about 350 Reform MPs (solid overall majority), 123 Lab, 58 LibDems, 41 SNP, 31 Cons, 11 Greens [etc].

Reform may, in that poll, be in a worse position than in the November 2025 polling, but the figures speak for themselves, really. Labour and the Con Party are still very much in the doldrums. The public are not enthusiastic about Reform either, but are willing (30% of them, anyway) to vote Reform in order to stamp on both Lab and Con.

Probably something about putting him up against a wall.

A few more thoughts about the Gorton and Denton by-election

The opinion polls suggest that the contest will be between Reform UK and the Green Party. A few commentators are still saying that Labour might have a residual chance. It seems to me that this by-election is different than most —not all— previous ones, in that there is likely to be a split on racial-cultural lines.

Reports suggest that the Muslim, mainly Pakistani, element of the electorate will vote en bloc, and for the Green Party. They have been turned off Labour by reason of the fact that the present government consists almost entirely of Labour Friends of Israel members. The voters will have noticed Starmer-stein’s slavishly pro-Israel policies, and his many pro-Jewish gestures.

The Green Party is now led by a Jew, but one who is supposedly anti-Zionist and not favourable to the Israeli state. The Greens also favour a near-“open borders” immigration policy.

However, Muslims are less than a third of the entire electorate in that constituency. About 30%. Persons identifying as “Christian”, presumably mostly white British, with some of Irish or other origins, are over 40% of the electorate. Apparently, some 27% do not identify by reference to religion; I am guessing that almost all of those are white English/British too. In other words, it may be that about 68% of the electorate is white English/British or at least European.

https://henryjacksonsociety.org/religiousdiversity/cgi-bin/seatdetail.py?seat=Gorton%20and%20Denton

So assuming that most of the Muslims are going to vote Green, that still leaves nearly 70% of voters who may also vote Green, but are more likely to back Reform, or go elsewhere (or not bother to vote).

My guess at this stage is that rather few English/British (etc) voters will vote Labour. Only a few per cent of that group, probably; maybe 10% or, at outside, 15%.

So if it is true that Labour has lost most of the Muslim/Pakistani votes, and also most of its former English/British voter support (after Labour’s disastrous first 18 months in office), one has to conclude that Labour is very much on the back foot, despite the fact that, at GE 2024, Labour hoovered up over half the votes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorton_and_Denton#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The Conservative and LibDem candidates have no chance in this constituency. A few minor parties are standing, including George Galloway’s Workers’ Party. One can never entirely write off Galloway, but if he stands (or another, on his behalf), that will hit the Green and Labour votes, but not (at all) that of Reform UK.

In the circumstances, it seems to me that Matt Goodwin and Reform have every chance, but it might yet be closer than many think between Reform and the Greens.

“‘You’d be ashamed to bring someone here’: The struggling billionaire-owned high street that shows Reform’s road to No 10

[Guardian headline]

Six miles north of Darlington, this industrial wasteland was chosen by William Beveridge for his pioneering new town in the late 1940s. Beveridge, the architect of the welfare state, personally oversaw its creation on the site of a former explosives shed used for experiments in the war.

It would, he said, be a town of “hopes and dreams” and a “paradise for housewives”, which would be centred on a high street he named Beveridge Way.

Nearly 80 years later, this single shopping precinct helps tell a different story.

Of the 45 shops on Beveridge Way today, 23 are empty – a vacancy rate nearly four times the national average. Those that are left include a Ladbrokes, Greggs, four charity shops, four discount stores and a pawnbroker.

The banks are long gone – the closest now a 90-minute round trip to Darlington by bus – and the faded signs record an exodus of household names: Wilko, Select, Peacocks...

But one peculiar aspect is that its town centre is wholly owned by a London-based multibillionaire who is wealthier than Richard Branson.

Benzion Freshwater, 77, may be the biggest property tycoon most Britons have never heard of.

The London-based multibillionaire heads one of the UK’s richest families, worth £2.6bn, according to the latest Sunday Times rich list. His empire includes prime property in New York, Florida and London, including the capital’s Grade II-listed Africa House.

Since 1990, his company, Daejan Holdings, has also owned the entirety of Newton Aycliffe town centre.

What attracted this global property empire to a remote corner of County Durham? And why have they stayed on despite decades of decline and growing local anger? The Freshwater family have scarcely ever been pictured in public, let alone spoken to the media.

[Guardian]

The Guardian managed to write and publish that whole long, intensively-researched report (I have reposted only a small part of the whole) without once expressly mentioning the fact that the secretive family that own the entire town centre of Newton Aycliffe are Jews:

Benzion Shalom Eliezer Freshwater (born 1948) is a British billionaire property investor of Haredi Jewish descent, known for his leadership within the Freshwater Group and its main company, Daejan Holdings. He is one of the UK’s largest private landlords…In 2007 it was reported that he held 279 directorships…In 2026, a Guardian article highlighted Freshwater’s and Daejan’s name, depicting them as “absentee landlords” responsible for the high level of vacant shops in the town of Newton Aycliffe, fueling political discontentment and the rise of the Reform party…In the Sunday Times Rich List Freshwater’s fortune rose from £1 billion in 2009 to £1.6 billion in 2016,[4][7] with his net worth estimated at £2.6 billion according to the 2025 edition.”

Jewish Reform UK group

https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/nigel-farages-party-launching-reform-jewish-alliance-and-friends-of-israel-groups/

Reform UK has announced the launch next month of the Reform Jewish Alliance, (RJA) with both leader Nigel Farage and deputy leader Richard Tice scheduled to speak at the opening event…Jewish News also understands that a separate Reform Friends of Israel (RFI) group will soon be announced.

It is understood that Jason Pearlman, former advisor to Israel’s President Isaac Herzog, could be appointed as director of the group in what would be seen as a major coup.

[Jewish News]

Regular readers of the blog will know that I have been predicting for quite a long time that Reform UK, the “populist” upsurge party, has been morphing into a System party. Look at recent events: System party ex-Conservative Party “retreads” joining Reform, Farage and especially Tice going all-out to speak in favour of the Jews and Israel; and now this.

Reform UK has one use— to destroy the old System parties. The downside of that, as predicted, is that Reform UK itself becomes a System party —perhaps the only one of any size, looking a few years down the line, and even more (((occupied))) than Con and Lab.

However, Reform has opened the door through which a social-national movement can march.

For once I agree, up to a point, with both the Daily Mail and Dan Hodges, though it may be that Reform and Farage taking in the Con MP “retreads” will actually win over many former kneejerk Conservative Party voters to Farage and Reform, albeit at the same time alienating people desperately seeking an alternative, a more radical alternative.

Say what you like about Matt Goodwin —and naturally I despise his doormatting for Israel and the Jewish lobby— but it has to be admitted that he is the standout by-election candidate at Gorton and Denton. Someone of rare energy and decisiveness. If he does not win, it will not be because he has failed to try. At present, he is the favourite in the polling, and also with the bookmakers.

I myself dislike Goodwin’s pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby views (whether genuine or, shall we say, self-interested); I disagree with his apparent wish to dismantle what is left of the social security/”welfare” system, and to introduce an Americanized agenda even more than has already been the case; I disagree with several of his proposed solutions to “broken Britain”. However, he at least recognizes that the UK is sliding to dystopia, and needs to stop that slide.

System scribbler Dan Hodges calls that opinion poll “madness” because —like many in the Westminster Bubble— he has not quite understood the depth of deep discontent and, yes, anger which now pervades much of Britain.

The Westminster Bubblers live in, as it might be, Blackheath or Hampstead, or Kensington and Chelsea, or now-gentrified Fulham, or wherever is quite affluent, have incomes in the hundreds of thousands (in many cases), family money too (in many cases), and have never known insecurity or poverty, or even much serious inconvenience (in most cases).

Dan Hodges and the rest thus fail to see, even now, that huge numbers of British people have just “had it” with the System parties and their ranks of careerist, moneygrubbing and treacherous clowns. Hodges etc think of Reform as a bunch of clowns, but have they really stepped back to look objectively at the utter clowns of Labour, Conservative Party, or the LibDems (such as hugely-smug LibDem clown-in-chief Ed Davey)?

Yes, Reform struggles to get beyond 35%, and is now in the modest 24%-30% zone, but that is because people are not voting for Reform, they are voting against “the others”, and against everything this country has become over the past 40 years; and against what the country is fast becoming.

That opinion poll translates to a Commons with about 376 Reform UK MPs (very solid majority), 67 Greens (very weak official Opposition), 57 LibDems, 45 SNP, 42 Lab, and 26 Cons.

Incidentally, on those figures, both Kemi Badenoch and Keir Starmer would lose their seats.

Amid growing tensions with the US, Iran officially showed a network of underwater missile tunnels, stating that in the event of an attack, the Strait of Hormuz would cease to be safe. On state television, the IRGC showed footage of the commander of the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Alireza Tangsiri, inside underwater facilities, where cruise missiles with a declared range of over 1,000 km and “intelligent” guidance systems are located.

According to Tangsiri, the infrastructure was created specifically to counter American ships in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, and Iranian forces are ready to respond to threats “at any level and in any geography”. The Iranian side claims that it has full control over the Strait of Hormuz in the air, on the surface and underwater – a key route through which about 20% of the world’s oil supplies pass.

The political deputy commander of the IRGC Navy, Mohammad Akbarzadeh, stressed that Iran is not seeking war, but is fully prepared for it, including the ability to track ships in real time. He also warned that regional states would be considered hostile if their territory was used to strike Iran. In parallel, Iranian media showed footage of the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and elements of simulated guidance, demonstrating Tehran’s readiness for a tough and prompt response.“]

[“1945, Belorussky Station (Moscow)— the first train of victory arrives in Moscow“]

Every war, every side in every war, has its rights and wrongs. No side has a monopoly on good or evil, either. That is why historical revisionism is so important, and why laws purporting to criminalize historical examination and debate are so wrongheaded.

The simulacrum of the human” [anon.]

[“The law is black and white, but it’s also subjective which is influenced by current social norms and the political climate.

This is why the Overton window being pushed is so important so speech “offences” get harder and harder to be policed.

People have not been able to talk this freely online – or publicly hold the views that they have – for quite some time. It wasn’t even that long ago you could get banned from social media platforms – or have a knock on the door – for simply stating men can’t become women.

We are obviously nowhere near out of the woods yet with all of this but Elon Musk buying X has most certainly bought us some time with fixing everything going on here in England, Europe, and the Anglosphere.

In my spare time, I have spoken to quite a few people who have been persecuted by the State for speech offences who probably wouldn’t even get a knock on the door these days for the most part.

Hearing these stories has been tough and what they have gone through for “thoughtcrimes” is abhorrent.

Independent thought isn’t a crime, and these silencing tactics is Bolshevism 101.

Our government has a lot to answer for for what it’s done to their citizens for all these years. This is straight up treason.“]

A law student from Plymouth, I think.

Strange co-incidence. I just happened today upon an old email (from well over 20 years ago), sent to me by a girl law student from Plymouth, and thanking me for talking with her and answering questions she had had. She wrote that her talk with me had decided her to continue with her degree course and to go into the practice of law.

I had forgotten about meeting that girl (at an evening reception put on by a university law faculty at a yacht club in Plymouth, and to which a number of barristers, solicitors, and judges had been invited).

I just looked up the individual’s name, to see whether she was mentioned as either solicitor or barrister (I should add that her name is rather unusual). Turns out that, after starting out at the Bar, she had switched to the solicitors’ branch, and is now a partner in a fairly large UK/international law firm, specializing in corporate/commercial work.

Life’s long and winding road is straighter for some than for others.

I have been saying exactly that for months, even years. Farage and Tice cannot see it, because they themselves are really conservatives of a kind, and see nothing wrong with making common cause with unpleasant idiots such as Nadine Dorries and Robert Jenrick.

Britain needs social nationalism, but there is no credible party; in fact, there is no party at all.

Unwise, to say the least, though it does cut the ground from under Kemi Badenoch.

Still fairly open, but with Labour not looking like winners, at this stage.

“Legendary” is close to “mythical”…

Many years ago, in 2015, when Burnham was standing for Labour leadership, I described him as “the best of a very poor bunch” (of 4 candidates). Yes, better than the others, but still a System puppet.

This country is collapsing before our eyes.

I wonder how many white British people are MPs, high-ranking civil servants etc in India, China, Nigeria, the Caribbean, Pakistan etc. That’s right— there are none.

Interesting to think that one nuclear missile at the right time would eliminate hundreds, thousands of major global conspirators, but of course that will not happen.

In that case, Iran might as well fire all of its missiles at Israel, immediately, before the Americans and Israelis can destroy them; the missiles would have to be preceded by thousands of drones to take out the Israeli anti-missile missile defence matrix.

Rubbish, but look at that clip. American naval power is awesome.

Incidentally, the flagship (aircraft carrier) appears to be flying a Ukrainian flag from its bridge.
