As I blogged previously, in relation to both the USA election and Labour’s present situation in the UK.
The difference lies in the fact that the people of the UK had 14 years of inept “Conservative” misgovernment 2010-2024, and the voters wanted the Cons out, at almost any price.
Having said that, and as previously noted several times on the blog, out of every 20 eligible voters in the UK at GE 2024, and in rough figures, about 8 were so disenchanted with the whole political process, with society, and with the political choices available, that they voted with their feet (did not vote at all).
For me, the most significant figures would be the 8 out of 20 who did not vote, and the 2 that voted Reform UK.
Obviously, Labour, Starmer-Labour, has little real popular mandate, particularly in view of the fact that Labour’s “4 out of 20” or “4 out of 12” would have included those who, faced with a Lab-Con fight in many constituencies, voted Lab to do down the Cons; the same, in reverse, may also be true, though to a lesser extent; those who voted Con to prevent Lab from winning. Negative voting.
There is at present, or as yet, no sign of a real social-national party emerging in the UK.
I think that Matt Goodwin may be right, i.e. that Reform UK will emerge as the real opposition to Labour in the public mind.
Reform UK now has 5 MPs, though all are rather underwhelming. Reform should of course (were the electoral system not both illogical and unfair) have had about 93 MPs, not the mere 5 awarded to them under FPTP.
It is ridiculous that a party, Reform UK, can get 14.29% of the popular vote and end up with 5 MPs, and that another party, the LibDems, can be voted for by only 12.22%, yet end up with 72 MPs! That does offend the still quite strong sense of fairness and fair play in this country.
Come to that, Labour itself captured only 33.7% of the popular vote, not greatly more than double the vote of Reform UK, yet now has 411 MPs.
A pure proportional-voting system would have given Labour 219 MPs, the Conservative Party 154, Reform UK 93, LibDems 79, and Green Party 42.
In other words, under pure proportional voting, on GE 2024 vote figures, the UK would still be under a Labour Party government, but it would be a minority one.
In practice, 320 MPs give a UK government a Commons majority. Under the proportional-voting scenario, and in order to get over the line, Labour would have been required to compact with either the Conservative Party, or with Reform UK, or with both the LibDems and Greens. I suppose that that last choice would have been the most likely— Labour with LibDem and Green support.
Having said that, were there a fairer and more proportional voting system in the UK, voters would be able to cast their votes knowing that, unless they were to vote Monster Raving Loony Party or the like, their votes would almost certainly result in at least one MP of their preference getting elected. On GE 2024 figures, even George Galloway’s party, Workers’ Party, would have had 4 or 5 MPs in the Commons (0.73% of the popular vote, 210,194 actual votes).
There is little doubt in my mind that, were the UK voting system fairer, most UK voters would not be voting for the System or “legacy” parties. Not only would Reform UK surge forward, but a real social national party might be able to capture both the imagination and the votes of the British people. That, of course, is why System politicians want to retain the present voting set-up.

That is about Simon Myerson, Leeds-based barrister and one of the “CAA” and “UKLFI” Jew-Zionist crowd, who was sacked as a Recorder (p/t judge) several months ago as a consequence of his extremely unpleasant and persistent social media trolling.
According to Myerson, the terrible slaughter visited upon the people of Gaza is, “legally”, not “genocide”, presumably because not all Gazans have been killed or wounded (“only” 150,000+, i.e. about a tenth of the population), and because the Israelis at least claim not to intend eliminating all Gazans or other Palestinian Arabs from Israel/Palestine.
Well, could not a similar claim, mutatis mutandis, be made by Germany about the Europe-resident Jews of the early 1940s?
Not my area of law (when I had “areas of law”). In any case, my own view of the Gaza slaughter is not based on some “dancing on a pin” legal sophistry. I say, just look at what the Israelis have been doing, and what they continue to do. Whether it is called “genocide” or not is irrelevant, really.
I have noticed that some of the non-Jews (who are pro-Jew-Zionist or, maybe better said, pro-Israel), and some of those who are part-Jew (what the Reich termed Mischlingen) but Zionist, are actually more fanatical than many of those who are fully-Jewish. Strange. That phenomenon has been covered on the blog, on this very popular page: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/.
“A public meeting descended into chaos after locals were told hundreds of illegal migrants staying at a hotel could soon be getting access to ‘free private healthcare’.
The bombshell accusation was made during a fiery debate led by members of Trafford Council, in Greater Manchester, sparking an outcry of anger from local residents.”
Carol Vorderman seems to be unaware of the fact that the only reason anyone voted LibDem at GE 2024 was because that voter lived in a constituency where people preferred to vote LibDem by default, not wanting to vote Lab or Con. Not a positive vote or even a negative one, but a “dustbin” one.
The LibDems may have 72 MPs now, by reason of being the “dustbin” choice, but they received fewer votes by far than Reform UK, which however won only 5 MPs. The electoral system of this country is as broken as everything else.
Why is anyone surprised that Starmer is this bad? The man spent his life in various communist organisations then went on to protect the worst kind of evil scum from receiving the death penalty.

“One of followers has written to me in the outrageous cost to the taxpayer looking after so-called refugees. “David, my mate works for a Scottish City Council. His job is to clear flats & refurbish them every time a migrant family moves in. “Irrespective of that family being in that flat temporarily for 2weeks or 6mths, the flat is completely gutted every single time, redecorated & EVERYTHING is replaced. New carpets, beds, towels, kitchen, TVs, sofas even cutlery, mugs & plates. “You name it, it’s brand new every time and the ‘old stuff’ is simply dumped as they are not allowed to reuse or sell it. He says it averages about £7k-£10k every time each flat- the “record” was £24k for a family of 6. “His colleagues take a lot to the Salvation Army instead of the dump & sell some of it for themselves because there is simply so much. “He’s had several PS4s and iPads unused, still in the box untouched, which they give to charity, hand to local kids or save for Christmas donations. “He got caught giving an unused microwave & a kettle to an elderly neighbour two months ago & was put in front of a disciplinary panel. Given an official written final warning but that hasn’t stopped him. “Look no further for evidence that migrants come first ahead of UK pensioners. “Please don’t use my name nor my Twitter name as I will be identified.”

Zelensky’s press-gangs hard at work finding victims recruits.
Only last week, the Chief of SIS/MI6 declared in the UK that Ukrainians “have the will to fight“. Britain has many pressing needs and many institutions requiring reform and, as far as I can see, the intelligence and security services are numbered among those broken institutions.
Incidentally, look at that victim recruit— at least 45, maybe even 55. Most countries draft 18-y-o persons first, and exempt anyone over about 40, or only put the middle-aged servicemen or reservists on rear-echelon duties such as guarding bridges or patrolling streets far from the front-line. I have wondered why the Kiev regime is so different. It may be that the birth-rate is so low that the Kiev regime wants to minimize the loss of potential fathers. Ukraine is threatened with demographic extinction.

The Editor of the Jewish Chronicle, Jake Wallis Simons, a half-Jew, was at one time a news editor at the Daily Mail, and presided over part of the “storm-in-a-teacup” that followed my politically-procured disbarment of late 2016.
The complaint against me to the Bar Standards Board was nominally signed-off by an old Jew barrister (of whom I had not previously heard), part of “UK Lawyers for Israel”. The “Campaign Against Antisemitism” was also involved in some way (the memberships and support cadres overlap to some extent).
The Daily Mail devoted a whole page to me at that time.
… as if he’s some respectable commentator. Under his and his predecessor’s watch (Stephen Pollard) the JC has been losing libel cases hand over fist. It has been reprimanded severely by the usually lax IPSO. And no one knows who funds it? A circulation of 5k is not sustainable.
Circulation of only 5,000? Can that be true? So are sales (of the paper edition, if it still exists) even lower? There are c.250,000 or more Jews in the UK.
One of those involved with the Jewish Chronicle ownership has been sex-pest depressive and former MP John Woodcock, now posing as a member of the House of Lords (sub nom “Lord Walney”). He himself has no money to speak of, so what is the source of the funding?
The irony is lost on this bunch of Labour idiots. Lammy is a plank, the thickness is without equal. Let’s face it the Tories gifted the election to Labour by sheer incompetence. Just 4.7 more years, it a sentence to be served.

Incidentally, Starmer-Labour (which was voted for by only 4 voters out of every 12 of those voters who voted, and only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters) has no mandate to do anything much; whatever it does that is hostile to the future of the real British people must be robustly opposed.

Because there are relatively few Palestinian Arabs in London, New York, Berlin etc, they have (most of them) relatively little money, and almost none of them control TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, or governments.
A one-sided picture, of course, just like the one-sided pictures the msm put out about National Socialist Germany, Mussolini’s Italy and, for that matter, the Soviet Union.
And don't forget about the stress caused to borderline eligible pensioners – many of them frail and unwell – who have the anxiety of completing a massive application form for pension credit in the hope of qualifying for WFP.
Of course, Kelvin MacKenzie, as one would expect from a former Editor of the Sun “newspaper”, has got one of the basic facts wrong: Starmer has only been Prime Minister for two months, not “three“. Which is even worse.

I have tried, in various interactions over the past decade with what now passes for a police force, to explain the law (and what is perfectly lawful and does not require their attention), but most of them have been brainwashed into believing (wrongly) that anything that some stray troublemaker, especially if Jewish, as with the malicious (few) individuals who pretend that they are the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] says is “offensive” (to the malicious complainant(s) is, ipso facto, both “grossly offensive” and contrary to law. Not so.
Actually, the policeman in that Laurence Fox clip misquoted the Act.
You can see from this https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/21/section/127 that an offence may be committed if someone sends [such] a message with the purpose of causing needless anxiety to another. Very hard to prove both purpose and needlessness.
The Communications Act 2003, s.127 was recommended for repeal by the Law Commission a couple of years ago but is still in force. I am named in that Report as one of the lay (public) consultees (“lay” despite the fact that I was a barrister until malicious Jew-Zionists procured my wrongful and actually unlawful disbarment in 2016, and despite my still being nominally a member of the Bar of the State of New York).
If Jess Phillips couldn't breathe properly, triage would prioritise her case. Sadly JP seems to have an exaggerated sense of self importance. The fact that a doctor made encouraging conversation with her, as they often do to reassure patients, is being entirely misconstrued.
Jess Phillips was probably made a Parliamentary Under-Secretary [PUS], the lowest rung on the ministerial ladder, because it means that she has to more or less shut up unless supporting the Government line. She gets (on top of her over-£91,000 MP pay, and generous expenses) a further £25,000+ for being a PUS. She loves money and is a huge freeloader and moneygrasper. She will not wish to lose the extra cash.

“I thought that I would be safe and that the police officers would deal with him, but that wasn’t the case.” Shameful failure by the two Met Police officers in this case. No urgency. No care.
Student @zahra_etc was hit in the face with a plate by a male customer whilst working in Nando’s. Instead of arresting the man, Met Police allowed him to leave the scene…
Zahra claims she was initially verbally abused by the man and that she was later attacked by the male customer. Zahra said she alerted one of the officers – a female – who “didn’t seem bothered” about the attack, and told her to speak to her male colleague.
She claimed the male officer “took the man outside”, but then let him go without taking any of his details or taking a statement and without checking the CCTV.
While the male officer was talking to the man, Zahra said the female officer was “laughing and joking” with the woman and playing with the baby.
“I was really disappointed and extremely upset by that,” she said.
Zahra’s attacker has not been caught. Following the assault, she said she had been “discouraged and gaslit into dropping the case”. “I felt alone, like I had no-one to support me in that moment. I felt kind of hopeless, I felt extremely vulnerable.“
Apart from the obvious “two-tier” aspect, how incredibly incompetent those police “officers” seem to have been. Imagine not even taking the attacker’s name and address etc!
Frankly, I think many of our police are so lacking in basic nous that they “couldn’t catch a cold“, in the oft-heard phrase. Never mind. Show them an “anti-Semitic” tweet, or a Facebook post critical of so-called “travellers” (Irish tinkers), and they will be on the case at once, no doubt…
Also, what were the policeman and policewoman doing there together anyway? Sounds as if they prioritized their social (?) life.

The Kiev regime just keeps pushing and pushing. Its only hope is for NATO to be dragged into direct conflict with the Russian Federation, and that dreadful possibility is becoming more likely with every passing day.
In other words, the Jew Zelensky wants Russia to flatten Kharkov or even Kiev, so that idiots in the NATO set-up decide to “respond” by attacking Russian forces, or by giving the Kiev regime missiles capable of reaching Moscow or Petersburg, and approving the use of them. Madness.

“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.”

To adapt and substitute the supposed words of Boris Savinkov re. non-Russians in the “Russian” Revolution, “Muslims, Jews…where are the English?!“
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.”

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.

Obviously, I would take issue with some of that, but there is no doubt that National Socialism and Zionism both emerged from similar ideas current in the Central European region in the 19th Century, Zionism from the “blood and soil” ideas of Herzl, and National Socialism from similar but Aryan/European-oriented ideas. Both came to fruition, though, later, in the early/mid 20thC.
Chris Williamson, the former MP, is rather unsound ideologically. He opposes Israel and the Jewish/Zionist lobby, yet in his words and tweets etc gives credence to one of its most important propaganda weapons, the “holocaust” mythus —as packaged by Hollywood— as witness that tweet above.
Williamson retweeted me a few times, a number of years ago, when I still had a Twitter account (a malicious pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter in 2018), but later he blocked me after the same or similar Jews raised a mass shriek against me. Craven, as well as ideologically inconsistent.

This week brings a narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 5/10, but I trumped that with 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 2, 3, and 8.
“Women are having fewer children than ever before, official figures revealed today.
Office for National Statistics data shows the fertility rate — the average number of children a woman has — in England and Wales slumped to 1.49 in 2022.
It marks the lowest figure since records began in 1938, laying bare the reality of the ongoing baby bust that threatens to cripple the economy.
Not a single one of the 330-plus authorities in both countries has a fertility rate that is above ‘replacement level’, according to MailOnline analysis.“
[Daily Mail]
When one considers that (overall) the blacks and browns etc are having children, the birthrate among white people (“the people formerly known as British”) is seen more clearly as being at a rock-bottom level.

Last November, Mr Stewart was convicted for a racially aggravated public order offence and was fined £600. Following the conviction, Mr Stewart lost the Tory whip and has since sat in the House of Commons as an independent.
Now, following an appeal, his conviction has been overturned today at Southwark Crown Court.”

One has to wonder how absolutely stupid are the police and Crown Prosecution Service that this was ever brought to a trial. Mad.
Incidentally, note that the Daily Mail wannabee “journalist” scribbler spells “offence” as “offense“, American-style, in the first line. Newspapers have declined in every way since the 1970s.

Paul Golding/Britain First is only partly correct. While Islamism is a threat to the UK, so is Jew-Zionism, which is far more embedded in the power structure.

“By sending long-range “Taurus” cruise missiles to Ukraine, they will make Germany part of the Ukrainian conflict, German politician Sara Wagenknecht told the German media.
“You really think that if we deliver more weapons, the Ukrainians will be able to drive the Russians out of Crimea? Do you think Russia, a nuclear power, will allow that? If we bring war to Russia with German weapons, then we will also bring war to Germany,” she said.”
Sara Wagenknecht only finished her secondary education in 1988, a year before the collapse of the DDR (and, incidentally, the same year in which I myself saw the country, though only briefly), so she could not have been a member of the Aufklärung (the foreign intelligence component of the State Security apparat or “Stasi“). Had she been older, one might wonder.

Lee Anderson, and Ashfield (Derbyshire)
The maverick MP has been suspended from being under the Conservative Party whip.
Naturally, I do not agree with his statement that London is “run by Muslims”. Sadiq Khan is from a Muslim background, but has been pretty much in the Jew-Zionist pocket for many years.
It would be more accurate to characterize Sadiq Khan as “anti-white”.
As to Anderson himself, I suggest that he is trying to bolster his position vis a vis the General Election expected later this year.
David Marquand, a former MP for Ashfield (1966-1977; he is still alive, at 89): “Originally a tentative supporter of Blair’s New Labour, he has since become a trenchant critic, arguing that “New Labour has ‘modernised’ the social-democratic tradition out of all recognition”, even while retaining the over-centralisation and disdain for the radical intelligentsia of the old “Labourite” tradition.” [Wikipedia]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Marquand.
Marquand defected to the SDP and then was honourable enough to step down as MP, not contesting the by-election.
In fact, Marquand was himself rather intellectual:
“Marquand addressed Britain’s relative economic decline in The Unprincipled Society (1988) and The New Reckoning (1997). He argued that this decline was caused by Britain’s failure to become a developmental state like France, Germany and Japan. In those countries state intervention had encouraged industrial development and had facilitated the necessary adjustments to competition. Britain, however, was wedded to an economic liberalism which prevented the state from undertaking the necessary measures to meet the country’s developmental needs.[7] In The New Reckoning Marquand claimed: “The economies that have succeeded more spectacularly have been those fostered by developmental states, where public power, acting in concert with private interest, has induced market forces to flow in the desired direction”.[8]” [Wikipedia].
In fact, Ashfield is not quite as “safe Labour” as the history might suggest superficially. Gloria de Piero won in 2010 by a majority of under half a point (0.4%, 192 votes) from a LibDem.
While de Piero’s majority increased in 2015 (as the LibDems imploded), in 2017 she beat the Conservative candidate by less than one point (0.9%, 441 votes). An Ashfield Independent came third with over 9% of the vote.
In 2019, Lee Anderson won convincingly: 39.3% of the vote, followed in second (27.6%) by another “Ashfield Independent”, Jason Zadrozny [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Zadrozny], who has had a chequered political and personal history. In third place came Labour, with only 24.4%.
Zadrozny is going to contest the seat at GE 2024.
So far, apart from Anderson (who may or may not be standing as Conservative Party candidate, depending on whether he gets back the Conservative whip), only the Ashfield Independent and Reform UK are presently known to be likely to stand at GE 2024, but a full field is almost guaranteed. There may be a dozen or more candidates.
At first, I thought that Anderson could probably be written off as post-GE 2024 MP, but now am not so sure. He has now (whether by design or not) distanced himself from the unpopular Conservative leadership —and possibly from the equally-unpopular Conservative Party— is anti-EU, anti-migration invasion etc, and is now known nationwide. He must have at least a chance of retaining his seat. If he does, and if he also retains it as a “Conservative” MP, he might be one of 100 or even as few as 50 such MPs. Who knows what might then happen?
[Update, 13 October 2024: In the end, what happened at GE 2024 was that Lee Anderson stood as Reform UK candidate, and won handsomely with 42.8% of the vote. He is thus now one of 5 Reform UK MPs. The Labour candidate came a poor second with 29%; third place, with 15.7%, went to that Independent, Zadrozny, who faces yet another Crown Court trial soon, in February 2025: numerous charges of fraud and income tax evasion, as well as possession of cocaine): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashfield_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s].

“Major French magazine L’Express has revealed that its prominent former editor, Philippe Grumbach, was a KGB spy for 35 years.
He counted presidents, actors and literary giants as close friends. He was a legendary figure in journalism who shaped the editorial direction of one of France’s most successful publications. When he died in 2003, Minister of Culture Jean-Jacques Aillagon said Grumbach had been “one of the most memorable and respected figures in French media”.
But he was also “Brok”, the KGB spy.
Extensive proof of Grumbach’s duplicitous life can be found in the so-called Mitrokhin archive.
Born in Paris in 1924 into a Jewish family, Grumbach fled France with his mother and siblings in 1940 – the year Nazi Germany invaded and Marshal Philippe Pétain took power in Vichy with a collaborationist regime.“

The Wellingborough and Kingswood by-elections
At Wellingborough, a convincing win for Labour. I thought that it might go closer than it did. Labour 45.9%, Conservatives 24.6%, Reform UK 13%. All 8 other candidates lost their deposits; the LibDems came closest with 4.7%. A local Independent, Marion Turner-Hawes, scored 3.7% and probably would have beaten the LibDems had she been the only Independent standing. The Greens, as usual, were nowhere (6th) on 3.4%, and Britain First was even more “nowhere” on 1.6%.
The Conservatives were let down partly by the choice of candidate, the girlfriend of unpleasant former MP, Peter Bone. Having said that, the main reason for the electoral upset was that people want a change, even if it is really not much of a change, or the wrong change. They wanted, also, to stamp on the Conservative Party.
The Conservative candidate tried to make “stopping the boats“, i.e. the continuing cross-Channel migration-invasion, the issue. Of course, the fact is that the cross-Channel invasion is only a tenth, if that, of the main invasion— the enormous influx of “students”, “family-members”, “highly-skilled workers” (Indians that can work a computer) as well as supposed “asylum-seekers” etc.
Also, the “Conservative” governments of 2010-2024 have not even seriously tried to “stop the boats”, let alone the main migration-invasion. Not far short of a million a year now.
A better candidate, and one not tied up with Peter Bone, might have scored higher, maybe well over 30%, and so lost less embarrassingly.
A real social-national party, if one existed, might have won. Turnout was only 38%; a huge 62% of those eligible to vote did not bother, or showed their contempt for the whole system via abstention.
No need to “analyze” the Britain First vote— pathetic. As for Reform UK, it is going to have to do a lot better than that if it is going to start winning seats. Another pro-Israel scam-party by Nigel Farage.
Overall, the result is another nail in the coffin of the Rishi Sunak government, and the Conservative Party (and Sunak himself, of course).
I should be ready to bet that, if voters aged 65+ (many of whom would have voted early by post) were taken away, the remaining Con Party vote would have been no more than 10%.
Kingswood, north of Bristol and in effect an outer suburb of Bristol, also returned a Labour MP yesterday. Pointlessly, of course, because not only will there be a general election this year but, also, the constituency is being abolished.
The result was Labour 44.9%, Conservatives 34.9%, Reform UK 10.4%, Green 5.8%, LibDems 3.5%, UKIP 0.5%.
Turnout was 37.1%, even lower than at Wellingborough. Almost two-thirds of those eligible could not be bothered to vote, and/or despise the whole circus.
The Labour candidate had the advantage of being of local origin, more or less, combined with not being a Conservative. His unusual personal life (gay, and having converted from Roman Catholicism to Judaism to fit in with his Jewish “civil partner”) seems to have been disregarded by the voters (meaning the 11,176 who voted for him, out of about 80,000; the other ~68,000 were eligible to vote but either did not vote or voted for other candidates).
The Conservative Party candidate came closer than I had expected. His own local origins can probably be thanked for that. The Farage vehicle, Reform UK, came third, but again seems to be —time after time— the “also ran” party…
The Greens saved their deposit and beat the LibDems into 5th place. The rump of UKIP came last, and one has to wonder why candidates for no-hope parties like that even bother.
Yet another nail in Sunak’s political coffin, of course.
Taking away the local aspects of both by-elections, for me the “takeaways” are that this “Conservative” government is toast, that Sunak is toast, and that the Conservative Party is toast. Also, that the LibDems are seen as dull and, except where they have a good tactical chance against a Conservative candidate, unappealing to voters.
More? Well, that Reform UK is not exciting enough people, not yet anyway, to start being a major player. Also, that the Greens only appeal to around 5% of the electorate, if that.
Finally, for me the point is that, in both of these by-elections, only just over a third of people even bothered to vote; without postal voting, that 37%/38% would probably have been nearer to 20%. The voters most interesting to me are those not presently energized to vote.
What do these results say about GE 2024? That Labour must be en route to victory, though a victory not welcomed by all, or even a majority, of the voters. A feeling of dull meaninglessness, perhaps. A hollow victory?
For the Conservative Party, these results must mean that the bulk of their MPs are on the way out. 50 may survive, maybe 100.

"When you ignore the wishes of your core voters, when you treat them with contempt, when you promise them one thing only to do something else entirely, they will soon find another home. And that’s what they’re doing by switching to Reform"https://t.co/58R0TO4UNh
I agree with the first bit, but only partly with the second. Many 2019 Con Party voters seem to be switching, in despair, to Reform UK, but that would be only a small minority of the overall electorate. Look at the turnout figures from yesterday. Only a third (just over) of eligible voters even voted. Reform UK, with its limited “conservative nationalism” “cosplay”, its pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby attitude, and its semi-“libertarian” economics, will never inspire even a half of the voters. Maybe 10%, maybe 20%. I doubt that it will go higher.
The fact is that, even at Kingswood, where the result scarcely mattered in itself (a general election this year, and the seat then ceasing to exist), Reform UK only gathered in 13% of the votes, i.e. about 5% of all possible votes. The Wellingborough result was similar: 9.4% of votes cast, i.e. about 3% of all possible votes.
Only a fully-credible social-national party might be able to energise and inspire the British people. That party does not exist.
NEW POST. Sunak's Sinking — By-elections, recession, and a party in decline https://t.co/UkQl6UYyjf
“Today, the Tories are only holding half the people who voted for them at the last general election, in 2019, and only a little more than one in three of the people who voted for Brexit, in 2016. These are supposed to be the party’s core supporters. But many of them are now abandoning Sunak in droves, running for the hills.
And do you blame them? Seriously? Given some of the other events this week it’s not hard to see why. For a start, Sunak’s failure to control Britain’s borders was reflected in the remarkable finding that just 1.3% of the illegal migrants who entered Britain on the small boats since 2018 have been removed from the country.
And then came the latest data on the dire state of the economy, which confirms Britain is in recession and suffering the longest hit to living standards since records began, in 1955. Contrary to Sunak’s pledge to deliver economic growth, this week we learned that throughout his first year in office Britain’s economy grew by just 0.1%, while GDP per capita —which adjusts for population growth — fell by 0.7%.
This, too, will prompt many voters to ask Sunak some tough questions. Where is the growth you promised? Where is the strong economy? And where is the growth the Treasury, the Office for Budget Responsibility, and countless other experts told us would surely arrive if Britain opened its doors to unprecedented immigration?
The answer is it’s nowhere to be seen, partly because rather than deliver the high-skill, high-wage, highly-selective, and highly productive immigration the Tories have been promising since Brexit they’ve instead delivered low-skill, low-wage, non-selective, and unproductive immigration from outside Europe, which has been shown to be a net fiscal cost rather than a net benefit to Western economies.
...more and more [voters] are turning off and tuning out. Just look at the rates of turnout at the latest by-elections. Labour and Keir Starmer are not setting Britain on fire, far from it; the Tories are staying home.
These voters aren’t idiots. They know they’ve been led down the garden path by a Conservative government and a Conservative prime minister which have routinely overpromised and underdelivered.
These voters want decent economic growth and an economic model which prioritises British people. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories have given them more of the same.
These voters want much lower and manageable rates of immigration. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories keep putting mass migration on steroids. And these voters want strong and secure borders and a government which prioritises the security of the British people. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories have lost control of our borders, largely because they refuse to reform laws and leave conventions which make it impossible to remove illegal migrants and foreign nationals who commit crime, as we saw with the shocking case of Abdul Ezedi.“
[Matt Goodwin, on his Substack blog]
In any case, the UK needs no immigration at all. It needs to educate and train real British people to a far higher level, and then provide suitable employment for them. British people, real British people.
Suitable employment, appropriate and decent pay; decent housing; decent transport; decent medical care; decent social care; also, decent architecture and town planning.
Labour has two more MPs after by-elections this week – but this is by default, because Tory voters didn't bother to turn out. Labour also is less popular.

BREAKING: Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has died, the prison service of the Yamalo-Nenets region where he had been serving his sentence said https://t.co/L0YtgkcjKMpic.twitter.com/x7xFV3UERB
The Federal Penitentiary Service of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District said that Navalny 'felt unwell' after a walk at the IK-3 penal colony in Kharp, about 1,200 miles north east of Moscow. Navalny, the prison service said, had lost consciousness almost immediately pic.twitter.com/xtHflzjNC7
Defying the Kremlin can be dangerous. The story that Navalny “felt unwell after he went for a walk” is obviously unlikely.
The daytime temperature in that region today is about -20C. Cold weather for a stroll, even for a Russian.
As to Navalny himself, I knew nothing of him beyond what was occasionally on TV news or in the newspapers. I was unable to understand why he returned to Russia after he had recovered from having been poisoned in Russia and flown to Germany for treatment.
My conclusion (beyond the apparent fact that Navalny was a braver man than me— and a more foolish one, arguably) is that he had a huge amount of egotism. He probably wildly over-estimated his popularity in Russia (in fact only about 5% supported him), and may have thought that arriving in Moscow on a private jet with a horde of Western reporters on board would probably protect him, especially as thousands of his supporters (mostly Moscow-based) would be awaiting his arrival at Vnukovo (one of the four main airports in the Moscow region: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vnukovo_International_Airport).
I may be wrong, but I think that Navalny may have thought that his return to Russia would be akin to that of Lenin in 1917. However, Lenin was never in any danger of arrest and detention in 1917, and had not only supporters but an armed guard force at his historic speech at the Finlandsky Station in Petrograd. Also, the Tsarist Government had already effectively fallen. There was no-one to arrest him.
Navalny has, by reason of his imprisonment and probable murder, achieved the status of martyr, but had he ever become leader of Russia, might have been as harsh, and probably less effective, than Putin.
I am old enough to remember how the usually-wrong Western msm thought, in the 1980s, that Andropov would be “liberal” (mainly because he was said to like jazz). The same or similar was said in the late 1970s of the African tyrant Robert Mugabe (“well-educated” by Jesuits, and a “democrat” by African standards. So they said…). Indeed, look at how the globalist msm lauded thick-as-two-short-planks Nelson Mandela…
Well, there it is.
One interesting aspect to the news coverage in the UK today is that it has been so extensive. In a way, surprising, when Navalny had no real support base in Russia, and never had a real chance of deposing Putin.
Were I more of a conspiracy theorist than people think I am, I should suspect that the UK TV people are using the Navalny matter to talk less about yesterday’s by-election results.
Also, the Kiev-regime forces are crumbling on the Ukrainian front-line.
Many, even perhaps I myself, might think that a retaliatory strike by Israel on Gaza, immediately after the October 2023 incursion, meaning in the following few days, would probably fall into the “self-defence” and “proportionate” area (leaving aside the behaviour of the Israeli Jews since 1948), but what has happened since then is a cruel slaughter and devastation worse than the much-criticized Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto by German forces in 1943. The Germans did evacuate most of the non-combatant Jews before killing or capturing the rest (saboteurs, terrorists, and rebels) and then levelling the area.
Which of the following do you think would make the best prime minister?
According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that would still leave the Con Party with 117 MPs. Maybe. One or two points can make a big difference. For example, if the Con/Lab numbers were 23% and 45% respectively, the Cons would have only 97 MPs.
Also, these polls always over-estimate the Green vote. When and where (except at Brighton Pavilion) did the Greens get anywhere close to 8%? 5% is more usual; or lower.
Gee, I thought of Julian Assange who was put in the worst prison in the UK on April 11, 2019 for the crime of reporting true information about our government crimes. But we don't do what the Russians do, right?

For me, the main thing is to break the rigged “two main parties” system (scam). So if the Conservative Party is trampled upon and left almost powerless at GE 2024, good, even though that would be at the cost of a Labour Party “elected dictatorship” for up to 5 years. With one large party reduced to almost nothing, the System’s rhythm will be disrupted. No more the idea that “the other lot” will be better. With the Cons deflated, and the LibDems already on the floor, other ideas, social-national ideas, will come through, one way or the other.

“Banks are to be warned by ministers that they must protect free speech as increasing numbers of customers are having their accounts closed for holding allegedly controversial views.
The Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is reportedly ‘deeply concerned’ that lenders are blacklisting customers they are deemed to hold contrary political beliefs and social values.
I have blogged about this previously. Farage is, as the report notes, not alone. Repression on freedom of expression by banks (bank staff) has been a fact for a few years now. Laura Towler, Sam Melia, and Mark Collett, all of Patriotic Alternative, had their personal bank accounts closed. Straight political bias.
The only thing that will stop the trend to censorship and repression is if bank directors, managers etc are held accountable directly. The same goes for MPs, msm talking heads etc.
Incidentally, maybe 99% of the repression of freedom of expression in the UK comes from the malicious and manipulative Jew-Zionist element; certainly 90%+. See, for example, my own experiences, published at the top of this blog post. “They” are almost always the troublemakers, if you investigate the matter.
“Rosolino Palazzolo, a 44-year-old Sicilian farmer, has just finished picking the first pitanga (Surinam cherry) and acerola (Barbados cherry) on his farm in a tiny village called Terrasini, close to Palermo. He looks at the bright cherries in his hand, smiling proudly.
These fruits would normally be found growing along the equator but, in the past few years, climate change and year-round warm temperatures have led to a produce revolution in Italy’s deep south.
“Italy is turning into a tropical country. That’s why I also grow papayas, mangoes, passion fruit, baby bananas dubbed ‘bananito’, black sapote [a soft, orange-fleshed fruit], annona [custard apple] and even coffee and chocolate plants,” Mr Palazzolo [says].
“Tropical fruit is the future of Italy’s agriculture; it will save the country from the negative effects of rising temperatures and crazy, wild rainfalls.”
“The farmer still grows traditional fruits such as pears, citrus fruits and peaches, and vegetables such as tomatoes and courgettes, but in smaller quantities due to the tropical-like climate that has taken hold in Italy, particularly in the south.”

Interesting. Adaptation to a warmer climate.

Typically misleading Sky News. In fact, it was not “the hottest June everin UK” (as seen in that tweet) but the hottest June since records began, which was only in 1884. As the report does say, previous hot-June records were reached in both 1940 and 1976. Even the headline, “hottest June on record“, though technically correct, is misleading, because many will assume that records go back to maybe 1700 or so, which is not the case on a reliable or consistent basis.
In historical terms, 139 years (1884-2023) is almost nothing.
We know that there were relatively warm periods previously in recorded European history, notably in the “Mediaeval Warm Period”, often estimated as having happened from about 950 AD to about 1250 AD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period.
There was no measurement of temperature then, but warmer climatic conditions can be inferred from forms of agriculture known to have been current, and from animal and plant remains, tree rings etc.
There are various theories as to why those historical periods were warmer than other times before and after, but one thing is for sure— it had little or nothing to do with “carbon emissions”. These were societies without very large populations (the Roman Empire at height may have had 60 million inhabitants), without the internal combustion engine, without industry except on a very small scale, and without the widespread use of coal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal#History.
Those two warm periods hosted higher levels of civilization and culture than the cooler periods on either side of each. Be careful what you wish for.

His column this week is worth reprinting in detail:
“What is conservative about privatisation? What has it conserved? How has it helped the nation be stronger and safer?
Though there are many more, I will take just three examples.
Once, Britain had a first-rate nuclear power industry and could build its own atomic power stations. Then we privatised that and decades of experience and wisdom were scattered to the winds.
And now we have to get the Chinese, a despotic menace, to provide the nuclear energy we will so badly need, very soon, thanks to our mad dogma-driven destruction of coal-fired power stations.
Then come the railways, ripped to pieces so that pretend capitalists – sustained by far bigger subsidies than British Rail ever got – could trouser taxpayers’ money for providing a worse service than the one they replaced. In a bitter paradox much of the system is now run by foreign (nationalised) railway concerns. And this is a great British invention we gave to the world.
And now there is water. Thames Water, the vital strategic supply for the national capital and the economically crucial region around it, is now virtually bankrupt. Its boss quit suddenly last week. The official version is that the company may simply collapse under the weight of its debts, now £14 billion.
Under one of its recent owners, a foreign bank, £2.7 billion was taken out of the company in dividends, while debts rose from £3.4 billion to £10.8 billion. They have not since stopped rising, while Thames Water has become notorious for unfixed leaks and disgusting discharges of sewage into rivers.
You might think renationalisation is the obvious solution. But it will be hugely expensive, as the pension funds and other shareholders cannot simply be dispossessed without compensation. And here is the fascinating thing. You will not hear any significant voices in Sir Keir Starmer’s very Left-wing Labour Party calling for a full renationalisation.
The modern Left is keen to nationalise childhood and what used to be the family. It defies any attempts to reform the NHS or the schools for the benefit of the public. But it long ago abandoned its 1945 enthusiasm for state ownership of the commanding heights of the economy.
But that was in the lost days when Labour was led by patriots who wanted to make the country stronger. They have all gone.
And you might say that if Labour will not renationalise these failed private enterprises, what use is it? And I would agree with you.
If we want to undo this undoubted catastrophe, then rescue will not come from Sir Keir. Patriotic conservatives will have to nerve themselves to admit that the whole thing was a disastrous mistake and pledge themselves to put it right. If they do, they’ll be surprised at just how much support they will get.“

“Senior ministers are expecting a “total clearout” of Tory MPs ahead of the next election, as party sources cited the experience of Boris Johnson’s premiership, the increasing stresses of the job and a continuing slump in the polls as reasons for a forthcoming bumper crop of departures.

A senior party source said they were expecting “lots more” of the 352 Tory MPs to announce they were leaving as the election approaches. Insiders said the political chaos of recent years meant many had stayed in parliament much longer than they had intended. “There are loads more to come, there will be a total clearout,” said a senior party figure.”

“Half of the social housing in London is occupied by immigrant-led households. In my heavily council-owned neighbourhood, the students who flood the pavements on weekday afternoons are nearly all ethnically Asian or African.
Last week, a government impact statement estimated that within three years the bill for housing asylum seekers is on track to multiply by five times: to £30 million a day or £11 billion a year.
Indeed, one of the biggest pull factors drawing migrants from Calais is that France doesn’t provide uninvited visitors housing in the way that Britain does.
...asylum is a sideshow. It serves the function of the magician’s sleight of hand. The audience is distracted by one motion while the trick is slyly performed with another. Britain’s population is soaring from legal immigration.
Last year a Conservative government let 1.2 million people move to the UK, resulting in net immigration of 606,000. In a statistically meticulous report, Migration Watch calculates that if this same level of ingress is sustained, the UK’s population will rise to between 83 million and 87 million by 2046.
This will require between six and eight million more homes – the equivalent of 15 to 18 Birminghams. Apologies for the catastrophism, but that’s assuming the 606,000 annual influx remains constant, whereas the trend since Tony Blair came to power has been for net inward migration to keep rising.
Most new adult immigrants are of childbearing age, and Britain’s overwhelmingly non-European arrivals abundantly hail from cultures that favour larger families.
At current rates of immigration, between 263,000 and 313,000 homes would have to be built each year to accommodate rising population (in addition to the new homes a steady-state population requires, because buildings don’t last for ever).At current rates of immigration, between 263,000 and 313,000 homes would have to be built each year to accommodate rising population.
High immigration puts enormous pressure on the NHS – but we needn’t even go there.
Neither need we address the cultural implications of a foreign-born population already at 17 per cent of England and Wales – up from just over 13 per cent in only 2011.
Whatever your politics, this isn’t a matter of generosity and niceness. Even if you’re sympathetic with the plight of foreigners who merely want a better life, Britain doesn’t have the housing, much less the social housing, to accommodate the soaring population that results from current levels of immigration.“

Down the line, a UK civil war, not a race war as such but a mixed social-racial-cultural-ideological war, is coming, inevitably now. Continuing mass immigration, and the consequences flowing from mass immigration, are a large part of the reason.

So now Jack Monroe's been all but cancelled, they've gone in on fellow Southend z lister Simon Harris, who campaigned against Tories whilst trousering covid loans then refusing to repay them.https://t.co/6tNw6fOaCR
Another online grifter in the “Jack Monroe”/”Supertanskiii” mould. Why do so many utter mugs not only support such frauds on Twitter (often having done no research on them at all), but even send money to them? Pathetic.
As for the said Simon Harris, that Tattle thread is hilarious, even for those who, like me, discovered the idiot’s existence only recently.
Still, which is the bigger idiot, the “grifter”, or those who send money to him?
Is Fox about to have his banking services curtailed (like Nigel Farage, Laura Towler, Sam Melia, Mark Collett etc)? This is a conspiracy to censor and control the expression of ideas and opinions. Very sinister. Talking about it will not much help. Action directe…
The banks and their directors, just like MPs and msm talking heads, need to be held accountable in a concrete way.
Back in the late 1980s, and up to about 1992, Barclays claimed that I owed them quite a lot of money. I disagreed, and a lady I knew drew a very good cartoon skeleton, with the caption “I paid my debts to Barclays Bank“! I then spent a pleasant hour or two late one night feeding that cartoon without pause into my little fax machine. I hope that Barclays staff at least had a few laughs out of the many hundreds of pages that must have arrived at their HQ, all bearing the cartoon.
Little Jewish-lobby puppet Macron has lost control.
When you try to talk with your friends and family about all the crazy shit happening in the world, and they look at you like you’re crazy and say, “sorry, no idea what you’re talking about 🤷♀️”.
That still happens to me too, though increasingly I find that people I hardly even know say to me that the UK and most of Europe is collapsing, without my having said anything about it to them. The people are, slowly, waking up.
Traitors and “useful idiots” have been, for half a century or more, encouraging the lower races to invade white Europe. Now look…

Incidentally, compare the generally peaceful protests of the (white, European) Yellow Vests in 2019 with the subhuman violence of the (mostly non-white, non-European) rioters of 2023…
You can see clearly now how economic enterprises (banks, building societies, insurance companies etc) are being infiltrated and abused in order to punish dissidents: members of Patriotic Alternative, Nigel Farage, Scott Ritter, many others. People left without banking services, car insurance (a legal requirement in most countries) etc.
This is the 21st Century equivalent of the 20thC police state; in fact, it works in tandem with the police state mechanisms (prosecutions, trials etc)..
The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers. Look at the straws in the wind: press-gangs in the streets of Ukrainian cities to force unwilling men into the army, mandatory enlistment even of some people who are carers for old and/or disabled spouses, and the Kramatorsk missile hit, whereupon it was revealed that American and other contract-soldiers were present.
Eventually, Russia will win this, though the victory may well be bitter.
Macron is resisting calls from his police and military commanders to declare a state of emergency as he believes it will weaken his already fractious presidency, as rioters have raided looted police stations and are now armed with automatic weapons
“This is the moment an academic who wrote ‘independent’ reviews praising low-traffic neighbourhoods is caught on CCTV tearing down an anti-LTN poster.
Dr Anna Goodman was seen in a West Dulwich shop near her south London home apparently sneakily looking around to check it is safe before peeling the poster off the door and making a getaway.
Locals are now claiming that academics, who are paid by the government to conduct peer reviews assessing the necessity for LTNs, may be in fact campaigners for the scheme.“
[Daily Mail]
“Goodman“? Wouldn’t you know? (((you know who))).
Look at how sneaky she looks in that video; like a little rat.
It reminds me of the “independent” “experts” who have given so-called “expert opinion evidence” re. “antisemitism” in numerous political trials over the past 10-20 years, trials such as those of Alison Chabloz. The “experts” are always of certain “tendencies” and/or origins.
“Rishi Sunak is set to face more by-election misery after the summer break – as his party faces what could be the largest vote defeat in UK political history.”
[Daily Mail]
Those by-elections will be interesting, though of course just part of the System faked show overall. I shall probably blog about them once I know the runners and riders.
Reading that Daily Mail report, I notice that its Deputy Political Editor, one David Wilcock, does not seem to know the difference between “latter” and “last“. Typical of the times in which we live.
Naturally, I myself oppose both System parties, parts of the same corrupt and ideologically-wrong set-up.
It is a moot point as to whether it is better for social-nationalism that there be a weak System government (whether Lab or Con), or that one party (at present, Con) be all but wiped out. The former is probably the case, so that System politics is seen as unable to do anything to progress Britain, thus leading to support for social nationalism. At present though, it seems ever more likely that the Con party will be nearly annihilated at any general election, held in the neat year or so.
France and Europe used to be a civilized and beautiful place. Now it’s a failed society. Open borders and diversity has now turned against the government.#FranceHasFallen
Give a Europeans a pile of bricks and they will leave you with a civilisation. Give Africans a civilisation and they will leave you with a pile of bricks. #FranceHasFallen
Look at BBC TV news, or Sky News (not only that bitch Kay Burley) and all you see is a propaganda show akin to what the Soviet news media used to put out.
“Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch) was quite recently given a harsh sentence for speaking out on his Internet “radio” podcasts. He is likely to be released some time in early/mid 2024. The fund raised for him will help him to survive both in prison and after upon his release back into “normal life”.

#Evacuation It is America that made this situation in Afghanistan not UK. Anyhow it is not our problem that backward peoples are in this situation, they have not fought against the Taliban at all, now they will suffer, the younger generations will suffer, they run to the West.
The only thing Steve Baker is concerned about is Steve Baker. He has a majority of 4,200 in Wycombe. If he stands again he’ll lose, why the hell are we listening to him. He sold out NI with the Windsor Framework, now this. Get rid of him.https://t.co/hrDyyTUw6i
Another bloody “Conservative” fake. Apply an Army boot to his rear. Raus!
‘Allies of Steve Baker said he was unhappy with the attack on a specific minority ethnic group when official figures say white Brits are responsible in the majority of cases of child abuse’
…and look at the proportions. Pakistani-origin persons in the UK are only about 2% of the whole UK population, white British people about 80%. That is the point— 2% of the population (actually 1%, i.e. male persons of Pakistani origin) are committing ~84% of that specific type of sex crime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Pakistanis.
In the direction of Bakhmut, Ukrainian formations are trying to capture important strongholds and heights in order to continue covering the city. Russian troops are holding the line, launching counterattacks from time to time.
There is no one in Europe to repair piles of broken Leopard tanks

Well-meaning mugs in England, Germany, France etc are giving “humanitarian aid” to (as they imagine) Ukrainian civilians, but much of it is just ripped off and sold, with the collusion of the Jew-Zionist cabal in Kiev.

Look at that loony. Narcissist? Exhibitionist? Simple loony? Who knows? Who cares? There are idiots of that type in the UK too, “refugees welcome” dimwits etc.
