“A charity shop in North Yorkshire has caused a stir amongst local residents after putting a golliwog doll up for sale in its window for £4.50.
The teddy, considered by many to be a racist caricature of black people, was first spotted by shoppers in the window of Preloved, in Skipton, on Wednesday.
It was removed on the following Friday, as some residents labelled the display as ‘disgusting’ and vile’.
However, it is still understood to be for sale for £4.50 inside the store, which raises money for Cancer Support Yorkshire.
Resident Anne, a retired carer, said: ‘I was tempted to buy it just to remove it.
In February 2023, police seized a collection of golliwog dolls from The White Hart Inn in Essex, following reports of a ‘suspected hate crime’.
A month later, the pub was forced to close its doors, after Heineken and Carlsberg told the owners to stop serving their beer.
A maintenance firm also refused to work on site.”
[Daily Mail]
The hysterical “anti-racist” nonsense continues, though I expect that it is confined to a relatively small if not very small minority. “Retired carer Anne” in that report, if she exists at all, is obviously a malicious old ideologue; she even went into the charity shop to harangue the staff. “Was tempted to buy it just to remove it” but…did not do so. “ I think I might go back and buy it just to stop it being displayed.” Yeah, right… Loony “anti-racist” cretin.
There is, in fact, nothing wrong with the golliwog as a mascot or toy; it was not meant to be anti-black or anything; golliwogs are or were (I supposed all but banned now) akin to teddy bears— beloved toys or “inanimate” companions for young children, as seen in the image below (said to be from the 1950s, though it may be earlier):
There is a madness abroad in this country, a kind of witch-hunt mentality, promoted by “the usual suspects”, the idiotic “antifa” dupes and, ultimately, by those behind the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

When I heard someone in the media say 'Prime minister Liz Truss' I snort-laughed. Then realised it wasn't a joke. Then lost my home of 7 years, then lost a year of my life to terrible health thanks to moving. Because of your head-girl-seeking-approval incompetence. I loathe you.
Liz Truss and Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng) should be punished, but I think I had better not suggest anything too specific on the blog, now that (as my recent trial indicated) free speech in the UK is all but dead, killed off by… shall I say… “them”…
Golliwogs are not the only victims of the new UK poundland police state (which will no doubt become even more insanely Stasi-like under Yvette Cooper and Starmer, the post-2024 Labour Friends of Israel tyrants); free speech is another victim, as is general freedom of expression.

Tel Aviv, other cities, and some thoughts about “new” cities
The events in Israel/Palestine have sparked a few thoughts.
Not very beautiful, but it is impressive all the same, when one thinks that, 150 years ago, there was very little if any urbanization, though the port of Jaffa, the original town in part of the location, has existed for 1,800 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa.
“In 1906, a group of Jews, among them residents of Jaffa, followed the initiative of Akiva Aryeh Weiss and banded together to form the Ahuzat Bayit (lit. “homestead”) society. One of the society’s goals was to form a “Hebrew urban centre in a healthy environment, planned according to the rules of aesthetics and modern hygiene”.[32] The urban planning for the new city was influenced by the garden city movement.[33] The first 60 plots were purchased in Kerem Djebali near Jaffa by Jacobus Kann, a Dutch citizen, who registered them in his name to circumvent the Turkish prohibition on Jewish land acquisition.[34]Meir Dizengoff, later Tel Aviv’s first mayor, also joined the Ahuzat Bayit society.[35][36] His vision for Tel Aviv involved peaceful co-existence with Arabs.[37][unreliable source]
On 11 April 1909, 66 Jewish families gathered on a desolate sand dune to parcel out the land by lottery using seashells. This gathering is considered the official date of the establishment of Tel Aviv. The lottery was organised by Akiva Aryeh Weiss, president of the building society.[38][39] Weiss collected 120 sea shells on the beach, half of them white and half of them grey. The members’ names were written on the white shells and the plot numbers on the grey shells. A boy drew names from one box of shells and a girl drew plot numbers from the second box. A photographer, Abraham Soskin (b. 1881 in Russia, made aliyah 1906[40]), documented the event. The first water well was later dug at this site, located on what is today Rothschild Boulevard, across from Dizengoff House.[41] Within a year, Herzl, Ahad Ha’am, Yehuda Halevi, Lilienblum, and Rothschild streets were built; a water system was installed; and 66 houses (including some on six subdivided plots) were completed.”
Note, though, how even those first steps by the Jews were accompanied by the acquisition of land by subterfuge: “Jacobus Kann, a Dutch citizen, who registered them in his name to circumvent the Turkish prohibition on Jewish land acquisition“… [Wikipedia].
[Jaffa]
[Jaffa in foreground, with Tel Aviv in background]
The city of Tel Aviv grew rapidly as Jewish immigration increased in the 1920s and 1930s:
[Shadal Street, Tel Aviv, 1926]
[Rothschild Boulevard, Tel Aviv, late 1930s]
[Allenby Street, Tel Aviv, 1940]
It could be argued that, like so much of the world, Israel/Palestine would have been better had it stayed under European, in this case British, rule (the British having conquered the region during WW1, and then administered it under League of Nations mandate).
I have seen other “instant” cities, at least cities which have been founded from effectively nothing and then have mushroomed quite quickly (in historical terms). Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) for one.
Incidentally, “Harare” was, pre-1980, the name of an African “township” (poor suburb outside the city).
[Jameson Avenue, Salisbury —now Samora Machel Avenue, Harare— in 1970]
[jacaranda trees in Salisbury, Rhodesia, now Harare, Zimbabwe]
I remember well how struck I was when I saw the flowering trees and bushes almost everywhere in the central and near-central parts of Salisbury. I have never been able to discover what were the quite large dark-green trees with football-sized spherical orange flowers that I saw quite often in 1977. Very beautiful.
[Monomatapa Hotel, Salisbury, Rhodesia, built 1974. I recall having a couple of beers there in 1977; someone abseiled down it for charity the same year; incidentally, that building project was completed despite UN sanctions]
In a way, a city such as Salisbury (now Harare) was even more impressive as a testament to human enterprise than somewhere such as Tel Aviv, which after all grew upon an existing port, Jaffa (or Yafa; the Jews call it Yafo). The location of Salisbury was almost terra nullius; only a few African tribesmen were in the area at the time of its foundation as a fort in 1890.
Population increases are always key. The present Harare has over 2M inhabitants; Tel Aviv (including autonomous suburbs etc) about 4M.
Another city, where I lived for a full year [1996-1997] is Almaty, Kazakhstan, founded (like Salisbury) as a fortified stockade in the late 19thC and called, by its Russian founders, Verny. Now, a city of over 2M inhabitants.
[part of Almaty, Kazakhstan]

I find rather fascinating cities —and whole states and societies— which grow from almost nothing in a relatively short space of time. One, which I saw in its construction phase, was Milton Keynes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Keynes]. I knew it for a few months in early 1977; on returning a few times about 30 years later, the difference was incredible. Whole suburbs where only fields were before; a railway station where none existed before; a population of over 250,000 (in 1977, only a few thousand); bus services (in 1977, effectively non-existent); filling stations; large modern hotels.
I appeared as Counsel a couple of times in the years 2002-2007 at Milton Keynes County Court; in 1977, there was no such court; neither was there the whole Central Milton Keynes district where the Court and the railway station etc are now located.
I saw Doha, Qatar, in 2001. A sleepy and not unpleasant city. When I returned in 2008, Doha was already unrecognizable, a city of concrete and skyscrapers. Since then, a further transformation along the same lines. A kind of Manhattan-look in the desert, and on the Red Sea.
One thing I can say which is positive about the Israelis is that much —not all— of their town planning is pretty good, from what I have seen from photos etc. Many of their suburbs and towns seem well-planned, with trees, parks and leisure facilities.
Of course, the foundation and sometimes fast development of cities has a flip side: cities can sometimes disappear quickly as well.

“Retired General Wesley Clark speaks about the USA’s plan to DESTROY 7 countries within 5 years in the Middle-East.
“Did you know that the USA wanted us to completely destabilize the middle-east and turn it upside down? Did anyone ever tell you this? Has there been any public dialogue about this? Did Senators or congress denounce these plans!? NO, they have not!!” “They told me that they were invading Iraq and I asked, WHY!? They said, ‘sir, it’s much worse than that, we’re going to destroy 7 countries in 5 years’ : We’re going to start in Iraq, then Syria, then Lebanon, then Libya, then Somalia, then Sudan and we’re gonna finish with Iran.
The USA and allies already destroyed and demolished every country on this list except Iran – Who are the real terrorists that are terrorizing the entire planet? How can you hear this and not immediately think : Who the fuck is controlling the USA military and what is their real purpose? Who do they work for?
If you can’t use your critical thinking skills then you really don’t stand a chance at figuring shit out. The mainstream media creates your perception of reality on behalf of the globalists. The media is their strongest weapon of deception. Please STOP letting others shape your view of the world. Use your own brain and understand that we are up against a group of people/cult that runs and controls our world in secret.

It seems that the vast majority of cruise missiles and drones (though 99% seems very high) were destroyed in the air either by Israeli forces or by US, UK, French, Jordanian and Saudi aircraft. Such cruise missiles and drones are quite slow. If, however, the Iranians were to use the hypersonic missiles they are said to possess, then it might be a very different story.

“Whoever supplies weapons wants war,” AfD leader in Thuringia against arming Kyiv.
Three-quarters of the residents of East German Thuringia oppose arms supplies to Ukraine; the right-wing Alternative for Germany may win the land elections in this land for the first time. The head of the regional branch of the AfD, Bjorn Höcke, demanded that Germany stop supplying weapons to Kyiv and organize negotiations.
“My grandparents told me what war is, so I say that this war must be ended as quickly as possible and at any cost,” Höcke said on Die Welt. He accused his opponent’s party, the CDU, of inciting the conflict. “The war rhetoric of the CDU will not lead to real progress,” “we need Germany as a peacekeeping power.”
He pointed out that Russia did not shy away from negotiations, results were achieved in Istanbul in 2022, but the West and Germany did not want them, and chose military supplies rather than diplomacy. “Whoever supplies the weapons does not want peace, he wants war,” Höcke concluded.”

“As many as 82 percent of Germans do not believe that Ukraine can defeat Russia with the support of the West.
IN AUGUST 2023, 70 PERCENT DOUBTED THE POSITIVE OUTCOME OF THE CONFLICT FOR KYIV.
ONLY eight percent of Germans believe that Ukraine can win a confrontation with Russia thanks to Western weapons. This was shown by a survey commissioned by the German television station ZDF. Also: that 82 percent of respondents are skeptical about the possibility of Ukraine winning the conflict with the Russian Federation. ZDF indicated that in August of last year, the share of skeptics in Germany was 70 percent, and those who believed in a positive outcome for Kyiv were 21 percent.
The same survey showed that 42% of Germans surveyed believe that the West should provide more [humanitarian] aid to Ukraine.“

“Kiev and the West are tired of war and of each other.
What a small group of objective, but long-maligned observers in the West warned about for a long time, is now happening: Ukraine and the West are losing the war against Russia.
The strategy of using Ukraine to either isolate and slowly suffocate Russia or to defeat and degrade it in a proxy war is approaching its predictable disastrous end.”

Look at most of the “alt-right” msm and/or social media “controlled opposition” types, the so-called “populists”, including those who make money, or try to make money, out of being pseudo-national and/or anti-Islam or anti-Islamist: the academic, Matt Goodwin, is a rising star of that tendency; others include the notorious Douglas Murray, Katie Hopkins, “Tommy Robinson”, Paul Golding and most of the “Britain First” crowd, and Anne Marie Waters of the now-defunct “For Britain” group. Then you have Farage, Tice, and their UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform UK parties.
They vary. Some are national figures with considerable public support, and are welcomed on msm platforms (e.g. Farage, and Matt Goodwin); others are marginal (e.g. Paul Golding of “Britain First”, Laurence Fox and his tiny Reclaim Party, and others). All, however, speak in favour of Israel, in favour of the UK Jewish lobby, and against any enemies (especially Islamist enemies) of Israel.
Most are also vehemently hostile to what they are pleased to call the “far right” (anyone social-national).
As for me, I stand for the British people, for European humanity, and for European culture and civilization. I oppose any enemies of European culture and civilization.
One can see, though, which tendency or interest-group is constantly trying to get European Christendom to fight the Islamic world (and not just Islamism).
“Alexandra Lesley Phillips (born 26 December 1983) is a British journalist and former politician. She served as a Brexit Partymember of the European Parliament (MEP) for the South East England constituency from 2019 to 2020. She was the second candidate on the party’s list for the constituency after party leader Nigel Farage.[1] Phillips was previously head of media at the UK Independence Party (UKIP), which she left in September 2016. She was a GB News presenter between June 2021 and September 2022. In February 2023, Phillips joined Reform UK.
Alexandra Lesley Phillips was born on 26 December 1983 in Gloucester.[2] She has an older brother. She is Jewish.
On 2 August 2019, Phillips was selected as the Brexit Party’s prospective parliamentary candidate (PPC) for Southampton Itchen.[15] However, on 11 November 2019, the Brexit Party announced that it would not stand in incumbent Conservative seats.[16] The following day, Phillips announced that she would not be voting in the general election as she had been “disenfranchised” by her party.[17] Her term as MEP ended in January 2020 when the UK withdrew from the EU.[18] In February 2023, she joined Reform UK (successor to the Brexit Party) as a policy adviser to party leader Richard Tice.[19]
Prior to joining UKIP, Phillips had worked as a local journalist for ITV, and later BBC Wales.[5]
Phillips presented a twice-weekly show on talkRADIO and is a contributor to The Daily Telegraph.[20] She co-hosted an afternoon programme on GB News with Simon McCoy between June and August 2021.[21][22] After McCoy moved to the breakfast show, she was given her own show, The Afternoon Agenda, in August 2021.[23] She left GB News in September 2022 after her show was cancelled.[24] In July 2023 Alex began presenting a Saturday afternoon programme on TalkTV. She now co hosts a show with Kevin O’Sullivan on talk tv daily.”
[Wikipedia]
Look at that one profile: UKIP, Brexit Party, Reform UK, ITV, BBC Wales, TalkRadio, GB News, Talk TV, and the Daily Telegraph.
The only reason a slight majority think that life is better now than in the 1960s and 1970s is because a constant drip-feed of propaganda tells them so. Most of the respondents would have been born after 1980 or 1975, of course.
The 1970s in the UK were a lot better than most people today will believe, despite some (actually quite limited) industrial unrest etc.
As for the 1960s, I remember them well, having been born in 1956. Fairly OK in most respects (I should add that I spent the last three years of that decade in Australia (Mosman/Cremorne, in Sydney), and that was another world then, though the devil is always in the detail: those were —and are— among the better suburbs of the city.
Looking at the above tracker graph, the Labour intended vote has been fairly stable (within parameters) for about a year or so, whereas the Conservative Party intended vote has steadily declined for what seems to have been most of the past year. They’re toast…
Were the Con percentage to decline even one point, to 18%, even without an increase in any of the other numbers, the number of Con MPs would reduce to only 28.
When you see that, and factor in the political intentions of those under 40, and under 30, and the fact that the Con core vote consists largely of the retired, indeed of those over 70, over 80, you can see that this really could spell the end of the Conservative Party.
In fact, even were the Conservative Party to retain 100, even 150, MPs, it would be all but irrelevant in a Commons with 450+ Labour MPs, and a Labour majority of maybe 300 or more. That would hit Con Party funding and ability to come back from the debacle.
I was just musing on such ideas as I carefully drove a few miles this morning on a rural A-road, its surfacing poor and dotted with troughs and potholes which one had to navigate around, as in some areas of Russia and Ukraine (or, in pre-EU-membership days, in Bulgaria, as I recall from 2001). The decline of Britain is seen even in mundane areas such as road maintenance.

Incidentally, those opinion poll statistics add up to only 77% of voters asked. Is most of the remaining 23% a group of people who might support something perhaps not on the question-paper, such as a social nationalist movement as yet not in existence?
At GE 2024, such figures might result in the Conservative Party being left with as few as 30 MPs, as noted on yesterday’s blog post.

A country which has no control over its borders, no control who has civil rights within borders, no right to expel non-citizens for default or at will, is not a nation but just a territory open to all, and not far from chaos or civil war, a place where disparate tribes occupy space for a time; or a kind of “Hotel California”…

Police union bosses described the law as ‘a disaster’ and claimed officers are already ‘swamped under a deluge of complaints’. Senior officers also warned that police will be forced to make cuts to frontline crimefighting to deal with the deluge and face a big overtime bill which the Scottish taxpayer will need to pick up — or the police will cut back elsewhere.”

For those unaware of the term, aliyah is a Hebrew term meaning, in everyday usage, “immigration“, and usually refers to immigration to Israel/occupied Palestine by Jews living elsewhere in the world; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah.
“In February 2002, Charlie Burrell and his wife Isabella Tree sent a letter to Defra declaring their intent ‘to establish a biodiverse wilderness area in the Low Weald of Sussex’. Twenty years later, their rewilding project on the 3,500-acre Knepp estate is a huge success story – a pioneering project that has inspired dozens of similar enterprises around the UK.”

It's absolutely bananas Britain does NOT collect/release data on how immigration impacts the economy, welfare & crime (as @NeilDotObrien notes). I polled Brits & found a majority want this data made available. They want a serious debate about immigrationhttps://t.co/lEgeuOQ5wC
I do not want “a debate“. I want an end to this invasion. So do the British people.
Also, it is quite clear why such information remains secret or unavailable, which is because public release of the statistical evidence would underline how hugely negative mass immigration has been to this country. A conspiracy by secret cabals embedded in the body politic to import non-whites into the UK (and the rest of Europe).

“The Sunday Times reports that among the residents of Ukraine there are no people left willing to fight, and a breakthrough of Russian troops to Kyiv is quite real “The front line is 480 km away, but to nervous young people from Podol, a Kyiv district famous for its nightclubs and cafes, the war suddenly seems much closer. “I’m afraid,” the publication quotes 31-year-old Dima as saying, specifying that he is a “heavy smoker.” Main points of the article:
Ukrainian generals said that there is no alternative to mass mobilization to stop Russia’s offensive. Zelensky warned allies to expect more territorial losses and called on Ukrainian men who fled abroad to return and serve their country.
But under the bright spring sun of Kyiv, the answers to questions about Zelensky’s desire to mobilize are clear. The video producer, who wished to remain anonymous, said that he travels between Ukrainian cities only at night to avoid being drafted into the army.
Western partners hesitant about arms supplies face brutal calculations: the population of the remaining Ukraine is approximately 31 million, compared with 144 million in Russia. The longer the military conflict continues, the greater the fear that the numbers will prevail.
Ukraine, suffering from the lowest birth rate in the world, tried to save young people from the horrors of war. But now, when the average age of a Ukrainian soldier is 43 years old, the desire to protect the country’s future prevails.
In the capital of Ukraine, hundreds of thousands of people are browsing Telegram channels in search of advice on how to avoid conscription into the army. The messages are encrypted: “They just dumped a lot of snow on one person near the Polytechnic Institute station,” “It’s very cloudy on the street near the Festivalny shopping center now.”
People are accustomed to the idea that the front line is far away, that it is unshakable. But the truth is that the Russians could break through at any moment. We can fight for Kyiv again. People don’t understand the threat,” says military medic Boris.“

“BRIT billionaire businessman Joe Lewis has been sentenced for insider training. Here is the rise and fall of the ex-Spurs chief:
After quitting school at the age of 15, entrepreneurial Lewis went to work for his dad’s catering company.
Lewis began managing a super-club called The Talk of the Town – where the likes of Frank Sinatra performed – in the 1960s, and granted girl group The Nolans their first live show.
He then got a taste for business and took over the firm – turning it into a string of restaurants before flogging it in 1979 for a whopping £30million.
Lewis used his cash influx to invest in currency trading and was subbed The Boxer in a nod to his wild success and power in the investment ring.
Lewis forked out £22million in 2001 to buy a controlling stake in Tottenham Hotspur from Lord Sugar.
One particular investment on Black Wednesday in September 1992 helped elevate him to uber-rich status, as he successfully bet on the Pound crashing out of the European Exchange Rate as Britain tried to align it with other Euro countries.
He became a billionaire overnight…”

Note how the Sun “newspaper” fails to identify the defendant as Jewish, despite said defaulter having profited hugely, e.g. on “Black Wednesday” (1992), from the impoverishment of the British people.

“Police have been filmed arresting a woman at a London railway station after footage was shared of a violent thug branded the ‘female Mizzy‘ punching strangers seemingly for social media clout.
Officers in hi-vis clothing were filmed restraining a woman in a dark jacket and a grey hood at the edge of the concourse in London Victoria railway station, in video footage disseminated on Snapchat.
The clip showed a woman being restrained by a police officer within the station.
The arrest came after an as-yet-unnamed twisted prankster was filmed seemingly clobbering innocent victims on the London Underground as well as in a supermarket, and on the steps outside the Westfield Stratford shopping centre.
So make her famous— put her in stocks somewhere such as Leicester Square for 24 hours, and let the mob throw rotten tomatoes etc at her. Same goes for that “Mizzy” cretin.
With large numbers of untermenschen of that type, Britain will not only be unable to create a better society; it will be unable even to maintain the present crumbling one.
A ‘brilliant’ professor died aged just 43 after doctors botched treatment for a rare condition on which he was a national expert, his GP widow told an inquest today.
His wife, Dr Shivani Tanna, said it was ‘terrifying’ for him to realise that doctors there didn’t ‘understand’ HLH, for which he sat on a national panel.
As a result, despite being seriously unwell and feeling ‘foggy in the brain’, he had to help advise doctors on how to treat him.
But even though he was a haematologist himself, he faced a struggle to persuade nurses to show him his blood test results, she said.
‘He kept himself alive on the wards because he was a doctor,’ Dr Tanna told Manchester Coroner’s Court.
If he had just been ‘Joe Bloggs’, he would have been dead within three days of being admitted, ‘just by sheer negligence’, she claimed.“

“Members of the public should be ready to be called up to defend their country, a former head of MI6 has suggested.
Sir Alex Younger said Britons have been ‘infantilised’ since the end of the Cold War and the Government should consider having the power to ‘compel’ people to serve.”
[Daily Mail]
In fact, Younger is just part of the problem, and offers no solutions. [What might be called] “an educated cretin” who, after an expensive education, did 2-3 years as a Guards officer before joining the “niche career opportunity for the English middle classes”— SIS/MI6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Younger
Younger seems entirely unaware that, even now, the UK seems (not to me, but to most of the British people, meaning real British people) not worth defending. What does Younger think the UK will be like by, say, 2034? 2044?
By 2050, half of those inhabiting these islands will not even be British in any real sense. Does Younger imagine that they will agree to be conscripted? Incidentally, it is no answer to say that the agreement of the conscripted is unnecessary; enlistment of the unwilling usually produces poor results.
Younger seems to be part of that UK pseudo-elite at the top of UK affairs which is so featherbedded and isolated from reality—reality as most people experience it in this country— that the same (self-regarding) “elite” constantly get it wrong in every way.

“Mathematically impossible numbers“? I seem to recall another situation in history involving “mathematically-impossible numbers” of individuals supposedly killed…in fact, that other situation involves numbers so vast, and industrial contrivances so complicated (and for which there is no historical evidence at all), that it seems that, at least in the way “they” usually say, and/or in the numbers “they” say, it is doubtful that that situation ever occurred at all…
If the numbers shown from Gaza are —supposedly— implausible (according to the Israelis), then those other numbers, from that other —supposed— incident of world history (promoted constantly by the Israelis and the world Jewish lobby) are completely unbelievable, as are the supposed events in detail.
As far as the Gazan deaths and injuries are concerned, the Israelis seem to be saying something akin to “we have not killed 30,000+ people, mostly women and children, neither have we injured 100,000+. The figures are far less high, and far fewer children were killed or grievously injured.”
Do the “Israelis” really think that that sort of argument cuts much ice, even if true (and, after all, they are inveterate falsifiers of history)?

There are so many examples in our society (especially but not exclusively on TV and other msm) of people, often not terribly interesting, being absurdly overpaid, that one should not waste too much time on it, however irritating it is that someone such as Vine gets half a million or a million a year.

If society collapses as a result of a major war, or civil/cultural/racial war, or from any other reason, there will obviously come about a period of chaos followed by dictatorship (as Plato realized), but that period must be temporary, and eventually replaced by an organically-developing “threefold social order” in society.

All the same, I expect an intensification of Russian attacks on strategic infrastructure: electricity generation and supply, communications, railways, roads.

Three British citizens were killed by an Israeli airstrike that deliberately targeted their aid convoy last night in Gaza.
The same night, the British military had an R1 Shadow spy plane over Gaza, assisting Israel.
Why isn't this a scandal for our patriotic tabloids?
Because “a certain group that cannot be mentioned” owns or influences those tabloid and other newspapers; the influence comes from ownership, from greenmail such as the power to withhold advertising revenue and, more directly, from the number of Jews employed in the UK press as journalists, editors etc.

Almost certainly a freemason, and plainly pro-Israel, as well as very anti-Russian (he was giving a very poor analysis of the Ukraine war all through 2023 on Sky News).
This is Sean Bell, but believe it or not, he is not the worst, they also have another "Intelligence Analyst" called Philip Ingram, who has a ready excuse for even the most flagrant of Israel's war crimes.

“NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has prepared an initiative to transfer control of the US-led Military Assistance Contact Group to Ukraine (Ramstein) to the alliance, Bloomberg reports, citing sources.
Financial Times (FT) interlocutors explained that in this way Stoltenberg wants to protect Ukraine from political changes if Donald Trump wins the American elections.
As Bloomberg notes, the leadership of NATO Supreme Commander Christopher Cavoli’s contact group will protect the structure from political changes that may occur after the November US presidential elections.
Stoltenberg will formally put forward the proposal at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels on April 3 and 4. According to Bloomberg, Jens Stoltenberg is also proposing to create an allied contribution fund of $100 billion, which will be allocated to Ukraine over five years. According to the agency, the NATO Secretary General is urging the allies to sign a document on the creation of a structure at the alliance summit.“
“The toddler’s frail, malnourished body scarcely twitched as she lay helplessly in an incubator chamber in the already-decimated Gaza hospital.
Leila Jeneid, one of countless children who have passed through the doors of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in the north of the Gaza Strip, has suffered as a result of starvation and dehydration.
In a video clip, Leila can be seen quickly breathing in and out, desperate for a breath of fresh air in one of the 12 remaining hospitals in the besieged enclave.
The outline of her ribs, along with all her other bones, are visible through her pallid, paper-thin skin, which sits in stark contrast to the blue blanket underneath her that provides little comfort to the toddler, who is not old enough to comprehend the hellish suffering she is undergoing.
Her jaw is slack as she lies on her back inside the plastic cage of the incubator, barely able to move her arms and legs.
She can’t keep her eyes open as medics at the hospital, which UN official Andrea De Domenico this week said was receiving ‘about 15 malnourished children a day and is struggling to maintain services,’ run tests to understand how to help her.
But it’s food, water and proper rest she needs, all things that the whole enclave is desperately in need of, and all things that Israel has been accused of deliberately withholding from civilians in its bitter war against Hamas, which – according to a top UN human rights official – could amount to a war crime.”

Israel, and the Jewish lobby outside Israel, can now shut up about various matters that they claim occurred during the Second World War.
The “usual suspects” constantly promote books, films etc about events and/or invented events that are said to have happened, in any event, over 80 years ago.
“A father-of-five who was jailed and handed a £475,000 court bill after a dispute with his neighbours has been ordered to sell his home to pay for the huge sum.
Mark Coates, 56, and wife Louise, 52, have been involved in a ‘bitter, aggressive and violent’ dispute with their neighbours Brian Greenwood, 69, and Janice Turner, 65, after moving in next door in the countryside near Hastings in 2015.
The row arose out of a disagreement over a fence between their homes on a quiet road in Robertsbridge, a court heard. The Coates family wanted to replace the structure with a brick wall but Mrs Taylor argued this would encroach on her land.”
[Daily Mail]
When I was at the Bar, I advised and appeared on several such cases in the County Court, both in London and the provinces. Almost all, in fact all, should have settled long before they got to court, long before any barristers were instructed.
I think that I can say that I, and other counsel in the cases known to me, did our best to achieve reasonable closure, but these are cases (often involving trivial amounts of land) where reason always seems to fly out out of the window.
In many cases, all Counsel, solicitors, and the judge in the matter, understand that the matters in question should settle before enormous costs are racked up but, often, the litigants are effectively willing to risk bringing down ruin on themselves for a chance of gaining a victory over their neighbours (with whom they will have to live —nearby— afterwards, after the case ends, whichever way it goes), unless one party sells up and moves (in which event…well, you get my point).
If you told someone to remortgage his house, take out equity of £50,000, £100,000 or more, then go to Las Vegas, and stake the entire amount, maybe in one spin, on red or black at the roulette table, the houseowner would call you crazy, but that is, often, exactly what he or she —often a couple— are willing to do in taking to the County Court (in some cases to the High Court) such cases.
I remember one case I had that was about a wedge-shaped piece of land running the length of a North London suburban garden; at one end it was only about an inch or so wide and, at the other, about a foot.
What can one say? Territorial feeling can be very powerful.
Private enterprise —properly regulated for honesty, health and safety, employee rights etc— should run most commerce and industry, but there are exceptions, among which are the main structures of the economy providing services to the whole people: water supply, large-scale energy, electricity generation and supply, roads, railways.
I love talking to old people, people who don't have smart phones, and aren't on Twitter.
It's a window into a different world, the 1950s, 1940s, 1930s that is rapidly fading from memory.
Talk to these people any opportunity you get, learn about their world, you won't regret it.
Very true. As for me [b.1956], my memories of even the late 1950s are few, but those of the 1960s, and up to the present year, are many. Speaking very broadly, I should say that the dividing line between the UK of 2024 and an earlier and different UK lies, arguably, somewhen between the Thatcher election victory of 1979 and the fall of socialism in or about 1989. Maybe 1979 as far as the UK is concerned, domestically. Too much to cover here in a few paragraphs, though.
American urban planning history
When you think of American cities you think of places built for maximum efficiency and commerce – not necessarily for beauty and harmony. This photo often does the rounds… pic.twitter.com/REkPBUZTbe
It wasn't only public buildings. Take the Erie County Savings Bank in Buffalo (since demolished in an attempt at "urban renewal"): pic.twitter.com/0LKmMcLmCO
The public pushed back. The “Design Excellence Program” was established in 1994 to ensure higher quality public buildings. But the results weren't great:
San Francisco's Federal Building is so bizarre that it almost defies analysis… pic.twitter.com/huMW8VtzUQ
But something eroded American beauty more than this misguided artistry: efficiency.
The US once had dense, more European-style cities, and workers commuted via public streetcars. These were soon to be sacrificed for the great highways… pic.twitter.com/ti7vMxiVXp
Amidst a frenzy of industrialization in the 1940s, the US launched a decades-long project of freeway construction. Huge swathes of existing cities were demolished in the process, like in Kansas City: pic.twitter.com/BJhetxzhQh
Ironically, this breakneck pursuit of efficiency sacrificed what would today be some of the city's most profitable real estate. Those downtown buildings would be worth around $655 million today. pic.twitter.com/TBxcmKLrQ4
The dream of European-style cities in America was all but eradicated. Suburban sprawl meant cities lost significant chunks of their tax bases, and inner cities fell into spirals of decline.

So much for the “military experts”, many of which (as in the case of the reporter David Axe) turn out to be not very expert at all: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Axe.
People of that sort write their rubbish for (in his case) Forbes magazine, the Daily Telegraph etc, and people believe it implicitly because it is in (albeit wrongfully) “trusted” publications, yet much of the content is unreliable. Read Axe’s Wikipedia entry. Not an ex-officer, not a military historian as such, but a writer of fiction primarily, at least until recently. His reporting on military matters has been patchy; refer to the Wikipedia entry.
There are many scribblers of that sort. He is far from being the only defaulter.
Of course, in relation to the Ukraine war, a significant factor in reportage is that most Western msm outlets are openly biased to an extent not seen since the 1940s. Anything seen in the msm relating to Ukraine, Russia, Putin etc has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

This is the problem with Shadi’s new identitarianism when it comes to Hamas.
Mainstream news sources have no idea nor any way to check the numbers coming from Hamas. But here he argues that not to trust those Hamas numbers is genocide.
Jew-Zionist argues that the numbers of civilian and other dead and wounded in Gaza are not accurate and may be, at least in part, invented.
I dare say, though, that the same Jew-Zionist (and many another) thinks that any attempt to critically examine the numbers involved, or the nature and extent, of the so-called “holocaust” of WW2, is not only “antisemitic” but evil…

Whatever you think of Vladimir Putin, his criticisms of the West are valid:
🔴Politically arrogant 🔴Hypocritical and corrupt 🔴Culturally decadent 🔴Morally degenerate
“PUTIN: EUROPE IS FEAR-MONGERING ABOUT ME TO FEED ZELENSKY “What they say about us, that we’re going to attack Europe after Ukraine, is complete nonsense. It’s intimidation of their own population solely to get money out of them. This is happening in the context of the fact that their economies are sinking, and standards of living are falling.” Source: @Sputnik“
Is it untrue? I think not. Look at the UK. Gradually falling to pieces, and really not so slowly now.

A reference to those detained and convicted in relation to the recent terrorist attack in Moscow, who may spend their lives as of now in so-called “coffin” cells measuring 4-6 square metres; cells as tiny as 6 feet by 6.
It troubles me that the apparent terrorists were treated with such brutality, verging on sadism (to say the very least), on the day when they were detained; also, that the now-mandated conditions of detention seem worse than simply inhumane; as bad as, or worse, than those suffered by some prisoners in America’s “Supermax” prisons.
It is not that I think that the terrorists “deserve” better treatment but rather, that to treat even such individuals as they have been treated and continue to be treated, diminishes Russia itself, just as Guantanamo, Bagram, Abu Ghraib etc diminished, and continue to diminish, America.

“London court postpones Assange’s extradition to the US Julian Assange has been granted a reprieve in his fight against extradition to America.
London’s Supreme Court has ruled that the WikiLeaks founder can take his case to an appeal hearing if the UK and US fail to meet certain conditions, The Guardian writes.
The court demands that the United States allow Assange to invoke the First Amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech. They must also ensure that his Australian citizenship will not affect the proceedings, and that the death penalty will not be taken against the whistleblower, the publication explains.
If the court does not receive such guarantees by April 16, the defense will be able to appeal. However, even if assurances are provided, the parties will be able to file a motion before a final decision is made to file an appeal, the article emphasizes. If Assange is denied permission to appeal, he could be sent to the United States within days to face espionage charges.
His lawyers insist that the charges related to WikiLeaks’ publication of thousands of secret and diplomatic documents related to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are politically motivated and the extradition request is illegal.“
A purely political and malicious attempt to silence a truthteller. On a smaller stage, the same happened to me, most recently in 2023-2014.
