Typical. Already moving into “victim” mode now that the odds lengthen against them.
Exactly the same as the outskirts of Sofia (Bulgaria) seen, en passant, by me in 2001.

“The Pentagon chief announced a threat to global energy due to attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Russian oil refineries.
Lloyd Austin announced this at a hearing in the US Senate. “ Certainly these attacks could have a knock-on effect on the global energy situation ,” he said.
At the same time, the head of the American defense department spoke in favor of Kiev stopping such actions. According to him, Ukraine “is better off pursuing tactical and operational goals that can directly affect current battles.”
Ukrainian drones have attacked several Russian oil refineries since the beginning of March. Among them are factories in the Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Ryazan regions, and Krasnodar Territory.“
The West, particularly the USA, is shooting itself in the foot. It gives money, arms, and ammunition to the Kiev regime, which uses part of that to attack oil refineries in Russia. Result— the world price of oil increases, Russia makes even more surplus from the many refineries still operating normally, and the West, including the USA, pays through the nose even more for oil, making its citizens poorer and its industries less competitive.

“A trans woman who threatened to kill, blind and break the backs of woman’s rights campaigners Kellie-Jay Keen – known as Posie Parker – and Helen Joyce has been spared jail.
Layla Le Fey, 44, was handed a suspended jail sentence after the court heard she had been struggling with her mental health when she made the treats of extreme violence and arson towards the activists.
One post from Le Fey said: ‘I’m a trans woman and I’m not ashamed to admit I’d be happy to physically kick the s*** out of you and pull your eyes out and break your spine’.
In another post, Le Fey wrote: ‘If you want to prove your point that some trans people are extremely violent, I’m game’, while a third she said she wanted to burn Mrs Keen – founder of the group Standing for Women.
In a victim statement, Mrs Keen said she wanted to make clear the threats against her were made by a man.
‘A violent man committed a crime,’ she said. The violent threats had far greater impact on my husband and children than me. They are very worried for my safety.
‘Terrorising women into silence was the intent of this man. I want to make it clear, this crime was committed by a man.’
“She added: ‘This is what happens when women speak up. I didn’t want to elevate this person’s comments, so I did not respond. These tweets disturbed me and I’ve no doubt given the opportunity this person would have carried out these threats.”She added: ‘This is what happens when women speak up. I didn’t want to elevate this person’s comments, so I did not respond. These tweets disturbed me and I’ve no doubt given the opportunity this person would have carried out these threats.”

It really is about time that “we” or, more accurately, the msm, stopped referring to these individuals as “trans women“. If they need be referred to at all, “trans persons” would be more accurate and so more suitable.

Import the population, import also that population’s behavioural patterns, and its political attitudes as well.
“Nicht kaufen bei [REDACTED]”…
…and that applies double or treble to the UK’s relationship with the Israeli state.
It would be interesting to know what proportion of the Jewish population in the UK has another passport and/or another nationality; particularly, what proportion carries an Israeli passport.
Stella Creasy is a horrible woman in every way.
“Creasy’s partner is Dan Fox, a former director of Labour Friends of Israel” [Wikipedia]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stella_Creasy.
In fact, Tim Montgomerie is too mild. Abortion at a late stage is closer to murder than infanticide. Infanticide is usually done by a mother not long after birth; there are usually compelling extenuations of psychology and physiology. Abortion as we know it today is a planned and organized process, coldly executed, and often involving considerable profit.
A point made by me on the blog in the past, several times. Idiotic Gordon Brown, who thought himself so very clever was, I believe, the “brains” behind “working tax credits”, i.e. a system whereby employers could pay scheiss wages to their employees, who then had their pay topped-up by the State. “Welfare” for poor-paying employers. Madness.
Terrible. I am glad to say that I have never been on “Universal Credit”, but were I not exempt by reason of age I just might have been, especially since the Jewish lobby (sub nom “UK Lawyers for Israel”) had the Bar Standards Board contrive a case to have me disbarred in 2016.
We hear much about the “epidemic of shoplifting” and other crime, but I am wondering how much of that is driven by the fact that the social security/”welfare” system now does not really provide a sufficient safety net for those without paid work or private means. Not all crime is driven by real need, of course, but much is.
Basic income is probably the way forward. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income.

War with Russia would be mad, both in the ordinary sense and in the sense of mutually assured destruction, though not equally assured: Russia has 6,000+ nuclear weapons, and a handful of those would be enough to finish a small country such as ours.

At an educated guess, a substantial minority, if not a high majority, of the electorate think the same, in my opinion.
Imagine what urban America would look like after a huge catastrophe such as a nuclear war. Escape from New York? Soylent Green?
