Untermenschen.

Facilitators of invasion. Deal with them. Eliminate them.

[“American journalist Tucker Carlson has renewed his criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, arguing that the continuation of the conflict reflects the decisions of Ukraine’s leadership rather than the wishes of the Ukrainian population.

Carlson claimed that Ukrainians are being “held captive” by an unelected president, while accusing the government of restricting civil liberties, targeting religious institutions and imprisoning critics.

He also argued that continued U.S. intelligence support to Kyiv is one of the factors allowing the conflict to continue.

These are Carlson’s claims and include disputed assertions that require independent verification.

Carlson’s argument is straightforward: the battlefield may be in Ukraine, but he believes Washington still has a hand on the map.”]

The Western msm portray “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) as some kind of embattled democracy fighting an evil empire, but the reality is that Ukraine, as it now is, is a brutal, corrupt, shambolic dictatorship running a fake state, in fact a non-state, which would collapse within weeks were Western money, arms, and ammunition etc to be withheld.

Damn…my own car is a diesel. Fortunately, I rarely go outside my own local area these days. A full tank lasts me anything up to 2 months.

Nigerian heritage? Forget “heritage”— SHE IS NIGERIAN. She was born in 1981 in London to two Nigerian parents, left with them at once (within days) for Nigeria, then lived there, and in the USA, for 16-17 years before relocating to the UK.

A mere passport has no relevance at all. In fact, the passport law was changed only months after Kemi Badenoch was born. Were she only 6-12 months younger, she would not even be entitled in law to a British passport.

Germany is still controlled or strongly influenced by the Jewish/Israel lobby, and by Israeli/MOSSAD/American-Jewish interference in its affairs. That comes out very strongly in its persecution of aged members of the SS and other organizations from before 1945.

Someone 105 now would have been born in or about 1921, so in 1941 would have been about 19-20, and only about 23-24 when that war ended.

Recent very old defendants of that type have been rear-echelon sentries, typists, office bods etc during the latter part of WW2.

The vindictiveness of the Jewish/Israeli element (which is behind this) seems ludicrous to an Aryan or European eye, of course. “They” have a mindset which is totally different to our own.

[“A father-of-two has become the first man jailed following an anti-migrant protest in Portsmouth after admitting throwing a plastic bottle and swearing at police.

Del Somerville, 42, was given a two-year sentence after previously pleading guilty to violent disorder at the city’s crown court following the overnight protest near Eastney Marina on 6 September.

Hundreds of protesters gathered after a boat carrying about 120 migrants was brought ashore near Eastney Beach.

He pleaded not guilty to a separate charge of assaulting a police officer, relating to an incident on 11 September, and will face trial at Portsmouth Magistrates Court at a later date.“]

[RUPERT LOWE:”A father of two children has been jailed after throwing a plastic bottle at the police and swearing at officers during the illegal migrant protest in Portsmouth.

Sentenced to a two year prison sentence.

The judge said it would act ‘as a deterrent’

Now, let me be abundantly clear.

I do not believe that any violence against the police is acceptable.

I also do not believe that a two year prison sentence is appropriate, particularly when we are allowing paedophiles and rapists to roam our streets because of a supposed lack of prison capacity.

The BBC reports the man ‘said he had found the bottle on the ground and was going to throw it into a nearby bush, but was angry and so threw it up into the air.’

Reportedly, he told the officers to ‘f*** off’ and ‘pointed aggressively’ at them (ITV).

I can understand the anger, to be honest. This was happening as illegal migrants were being ferried into his town.

This sentence is unfair, unjust and morally wrong.

Let’s be honest about what has happened here.

The establishment is making an example of this man to deter others from protesting.

A two year sentence is absolutely outrageous – there are far better ways for him to make right the wrong.

The third world invaders are greeted to luxury accommodation as heroes, yet this man will rot in prison.

It’s not right.”]

I agree with Lowe, except insofar as he is too moderate in his views.

What is happening in this country is an invasion, an invasion of a formerly (and to some extent still) reasonably-civilized land by a horde of backward black/brown untermenschen from some of the most savage and uncivilized parts of the world.

Protests, and direct action, by British people are a natural consequence of what is happening, and against a conspiratorial system of —or within— government which is facilitating the invasion, and has been for decades. Google Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

If the police act as the goons of an emergent police state, then they cannot expect the British people to treat them with the politesse, still less respect, that our forbears may have.

Assuming Lowe’s facts to be correct, the defendant was rude to the police, pointed at them, and may have thrown a plastic bottle at their (probably armoured and helmeted) ranks.

For that, the defendant was sentenced to 2 years, so will probably be in prison for the next year. Absurdly and unfairly harsh. The maximum that could be passed in the magistrates’ court.

It is arguable that he should not have been charged at all. If he was to be charged, it should been a charge of insulting behaviour, something which might result in a fine or a suspended sentence.

The sentence passed is akin to one from Ukraine or Belarus rather than one passed by any decent English court.

In my view, both as observer (from afar) of these events and former practising barrister, the defendant, like so many others (eg Lucy Connolly and previously-tried protesters over the past 2 years) made a mistake in pleading guilty (probably on legal advice from some tick-box legal-aid solicitor and/or counsel) to the violent disorder charge.

The fact is that the System is determined to act with utmost ruthlessness and harshness to anyone protesting on the street against the continuing invasion of this country. Look at what has been happening since Starmer-stein demanded such harshness in 2024.

In my view, any credit given for a guilty plea in such circumstances is purely notional. The defendant should have pleaded Not Guilty and taken his chances with a jury (if the matter is one that a jury can hear). In that part of England, he might even have been lucky enough to get an all-white jury (violent disorder can be tried either in “the mags” or at Crown Court; if the latter, a jury trial)…

There is also the point that, to plead guilty is to make things easier for the System. Don’t do it. Don’t play their game. Judges of the sort we have seen over the past 2 years are unlikely to show mercy, or even common sense.

Incidentally, I am not just spouting from an ivory tower. I myself faced trial (in the magistrates’ court) 3 years ago, and for a political offence. I pleaded Not Guilty, but was convicted, being sentenced over two-and-a-half years ago, in March 2024: see

Further thought: almost every day, migrant-invaders are being sentenced (usually to non-custodial sentences) for a wide variety of crimes, including crimes of violence and sex crimes.

I hope that the defendant in this case appeals on sentence and that, in respect of his upcoming second trial (on the other matter, the assault charge), is acquitted by the magistrate.

The judge (I presume a district judge) in this case should be ashamed of himself. A suspended sentence would have been more than adequate.

Look at the case below for comparison:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmwyzrrnn015o.

Incidentally, I note that Danny Tommo has elected Crown Court trial, trial by (if he is lucky) a British jury: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq0lr5r46z5jo.

Translates into something like 318 Labour MPs, Reform 120 MPs, Cons 103 MPs, 58 LibDems, SNP 24 [etc]. So not enough for a Labour majority in the Commons, but easily enough for a Lab-Lib coalition or arrangement.

Hard to believe, and slightly dispiriting, to see that over a quarter of the “British” (meaning UK-resident) population is still willing to vote Labour, but of course the UK is now at least 20% black/brown/other ethnic minority. I think that explains most of that. Were only white, i.e. real, Brits to vote, the Labour support would be nearer to 8% or 12%.

As far as the Cons are concerned, most of their voters are long-term Con voters aged 70, 80, 90, stick-in-the-muds whose intellectual landscape is that of the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, and even Daily Express. 20% of the electorate today, but might be 15% or even 10% by 2029.

As far as I am concerned, UK elections at this point are not legitimate, so governments “elected” via those elections are likewise not legitimate.

That must be right. That cruel idea (borrowed from American fake think-tanks —lobby orgs, in reality– via Dunce Duncan Smith) is degrading, stigmatizing, accomplishes nothing, and of course means that it would be even harder for someone unemployed to get a job (because there are incidental expenses that have to be paid for in cash, usually; things such as photocopying, haircuts, whatever).

Of course, Carpetbagger Kemi Badenoch (a Nigerian woman who is only allowed to be in this country because her parents deliberately had her born in London, thus giving her the “right” to a British passport as the law was in 1981) would not know that, because she mainly worked in very low-level jobs such as in a McDonalds before going back to f/t education as a student (she was at first refused entry to —even— Warwick University by reason of her poor educational level).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemi_Badenoch#Early_life_and_education

If I were unemployed and were subjected to such a regime, I should probably take action directe to get what I needed.

If the Badenoch woman thinks that such reheated Dunce Duncan Smith policies are votewinners, she must be even more dim than she seems. Only the least intelligent or aware pensioner-age voters would like such policies, and they almost all vote Con anyway, except for those who have recently preferred Reform UK.

Basic Income (aka Universal Basic Income) is the better way forward.

In any case, people in this country will not, most of them, vote in effect for an African woman (or any non-white) to become Prime Minister. Yes, the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, was briefly and unsuccessfully in that position, but he “inherited” it from brainless “ho” Liz Truss, and lost the 2024 General Election at least partly because few people wanted to vote Con while an Indian led the Con Party.

In our hearts, we know what will probably need to happen, but we are not “allowed” (by a poundshop emergent police state) to say it, or blog about it.

Secretive cabals are and have been engineering the migration-invasion of Europe, for decades. You know who most of them are— “them”…

[“Have you seen this before???

When Kemi Badenoch speaks to other Nigerians, she turns off her fake English accent.

She also tells them that she loves Nigeria just as much as England.

And what’s all this about saying Islamic prayers in Nigeria?

She is running to be PM while stating equal allegiance to another country???

How are people still falling for this Nigerian scammer?

Don’t give her your credit card number and bank account details!“]

Exactly. She only arrived in the UK at age 16-17, before which she had lived in Nigeria and the USA (oh, and in England for the 2 days only after her London birth, which last factor guaranteed her a British passport).

A fake, complete and utter (and completely in the pocket of the Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby).

I have blogged a couple of times already about that loonie New Zealand woman.

[“The Chair of Piddington Parish has tonight spoken out saying he is concerned for Rachel Marsh’s welfare & she needs some help.

He also revealed that the village sent out over 4,000 emails asking for help from MPs he says that no one from Labour, the Lib Dem’s or Greens responded & that only Reform, conservatives and Restore have been in touch.“]

[“Patrick Christys interviewed activist Imarn Ayton on GB News over calls for slavery reparations, and she barely let him get a word in. Asked what reparations money would actually be used for, Ayton said people would “probably throw some poo out of a window or something,” talking over him repeatedly and dismissing his own family history as farmers and peasants as irrelevant to the debate.

He’s bang on the money. This is what open racism against white Britons looks like on national television now, mocked and dismissed to their face, and it gets treated as a normal debate instead of what it actually is.

Imagine a white guest on national television mocking black Britons the way Ayton mocked white ones on live TV, there’d be arrests within days. She walks away with a platform instead.

Disgusting.“]

Well, now that Bonnie Greer has gone up the chimney, I suppose that the (((System))) needs another black woman System-puppet in the msm, a “go-to” interviewee willing to trash European culture and civilization non-stop, however ignorantly.

Why do “we” tolerate that kind of enemy? Why?

Stupid woman thinks that she and her clan, or people, would have been better off without “slavery and colonialism“. Oh, she must mean that she would be better if she (and all her forbears) had been or were still living in mud huts in the middle of Africa… Oh, no, wait…

I had never, before today, heard of that one. Seems that she is a not very successful actress (or as people in the UK and USA are now expected to say, “actor”), 35 years of age, who has in past years appeared in a couple of very minor and unsuccessful films: see https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5335007/.

Rory Stewart channelling his one-time and would-be spymaster SIS-dilettante skills. I do not often call someone a “weirdo”, but…

I need to add that clip and tweet as the latest update to my 2019 (but regularly updated) assessment of Stewart: see

[we now know, of course, that the answer to that more or less rhetorical question is “No!“]

Incredible, as Andrew Neil implies, that many people still pay attention to what that thick princeling has to say (that applies also to his brother, father, and other silver spoon idiots of the type). “The Harry formerly known as Prince” and his consort, Meghan Mulatta. A joke, a joke that degrades Britain and the British people.

I see that, for once, Andrew Neil is thinking —and all but saying— the same as me.

Good grief.

Not sure that I had encountered anything about that black woman previously. Her name does not, I think, strike any chord as an MP, which apparently she is. Well, there it is, “the Westminster monkeyhouse”, as often called.

Now, having read about her [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miatta_Fahnbulleh], I see that she is actually a Cabinet minister! Born in Liberia to Liberian and Sierra Leonean parents. Came here aged 7. Her father (a former foreign minister of the Liberian black “state”) must have embezzled or otherwise acquired money, because his daughter went to fee-paying schools on arrival in the UK.

Ah, I now see that she is married to one Graham, “a hedge-fund owner” (from the name, presumably British, i.e. white), and that her (their?) 3 children all attend fee-paying schools.

Ecce the “Labour” Party in 2026…

Britain at present is so ******, it is just not true.

I just looked, and it seems that in fact I have, briefly and en passant, noticed her existence once or twice on the blog, earlier this year: see

[“I do not believe that the British state actually has the capability of going to war on an industrial scale, which means there is no capability to conscript people even if the desire is there.

The reasons why are as such:

  1. The military industries do not exist, and would take a few years to create, and would involve creation of an enormous supply chain that we would see happening (re-armament).
  2. The infrastructure to train people on that scale does not exist, and would take years to create, which, again, we’d see happening.
  3. The budget given to the military is pitiful and nothing near what would be the case if the capability for war was being created.

Britain has a genuinely negligible amount of independent military power, and this is nationally suicidal, but this also means that the idea that industrial scale war could start tomorrow is fantasy.“]

[“For example:

The British Army can deploy about one combat capable Brigade as it stands now.

There are typically 3 or so brigades in a division.

There are typically 3 or so divisions in an army/corps.

There are multiple armies in an army group.

The Russian Armed Forces has five army groups (West/Centre/South/East/North).

Each of these groups is comprised of multiple armies, each of those with multiple divisions, each of those with multiple brigades.

The scale of industrial warfare is hard to comprehend for people with no military experience or understanding.“]

Yerbury, a former soldier, lays it on the line.

For me, the nuclear background is the key. Russia has maybe 7,000 nuclear weapons of various types, while the UK has, it is said, between 150 and 200, of which maybe 50 are potentially in play at any given moment. Britain could badly damage parts of Russia, but Russia could easily and completely annihilate Britain (military bases, ports, all major cities and manufacturing plants, as well as all power plants, motorways and railways etc). Need one say more?

Would be a fairly good result for social nationalism. Weak coalition government (Lab-LibDem). That, and events, might pave the way for real social-national upsurge.

Typical J. Plays with words, definitions etc. Many of “them” are brought up arguing about definitions in relation to their religious texts (such as they are).

It does not matter whether you call the Gaza “holocaust” a “genocide” or not. The utter devastation the Israeli Jews have wrought on the people of Gaza speaks for itself. That is without even talking about the deliberate destruction of hospitals and medical centres, ambulances etc, and without talking about the sheer evil sadism of the Jewish army, sniping at children, competing to hit them in particular areas of the body etc. Satanic, really.

What a stupid woman, even by contemporary political standards.

The Whately woman seems not to understand that, once social security/”welfare” money is paid to an unemployed (or other) person, that money becomes the property, the money, of the payee as soon as it is paid over, just as the Whately woman’s pay and MP expenses is hers to use as she sees fit as soon as she receives it.

Someone with so little understanding of basic law and custom should not be an MP, let alone anywhere in government.

As for the lady herself, her own work background is far from impressive, and she is married to the CEO of an energy company, so has never had the slightest struggle financially. They own 2 or 3 houses.

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

People like her always remind me of Lenin’s famous dictum: “a revolution without firing squads is not worth much“.

Not that I agree with the lady tweeter Fiona-Natasha Syms on her other point. “Cameroons” (devotees of the David Cameron-Levita misgovernment of 2010-2015) were not so gentle. Iain Dunce Duncan Smith for example, the failed Army officer with the invented CV, who claimed MP expenses for many years for his complicit wife to be on the roll as an “employee”, when she never did a stroke of work. Lying fraud Smith, who spent his time making life far more difficult for the sick, disabled, unemployed etc. He should be punished appropriately for his evil deeds.

She was married to Vysotsky: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Vlady#Personal_life.

Same with the BBC, which runs ads on its own behalf, featuring an evil-looking young South Asian woman talking about “disinformation” and how the BBC is countering it when, in reality, the BBC is one of the worst offenders. Think “Covid”, “Ukraine”, “climate change”, mass immigration etc.

The BBC pays proven liar Marianna Spring in the region of £150,000 p.a. to head its “disinformation” section.

[“Gangsterism is the main mechanism of Anglo-Saxon global hegemony”**

A provocative geopolitical argument portrays the rise of the British Empire—and later the broader Western order—not primarily as a triumph of democratic institutions, but as the evolution of a global network of private companies, intelligence services, secret societies and other powerful organizations.

The argument traces this model back to the British Empire, claiming that private actors such as pirates and chartered companies played a major role in overseas expansion and that these mechanisms eventually evolved into modern systems of political and economic influence.

It then takes aim at the modern West, arguing that democracy has become more of a façade, while concentrated networks of political and economic power increasingly determine outcomes behind the scenes.

The text also makes a sweeping historical claim about Marxism, Christianity and the Bolsheviks—claims that are highly interpretive and not established historical consensus.

The broader criticism is clear: when private interests become powerful enough to influence governments, the line between statecraft and organized power politics can become very thin.

Democracy may have the ballot box. **But the real question is always: who controls what happens after the votes are counted?“]

More Swedish madness

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/20/british-man-torn-from-swedish-wife-and-home

“Doubled over a Heathrow baggage trolley, the former British business director is sobbing uncontrollably, exhausted emotionally and physically after being deported from Sweden.

Hours earlier the 65-year-old had been marched on to a plane in Stockholm, separated from his home and his Swedish wife after a five-year battle to stay in the country after Brexit came to an end.

An only child with no children and no property in the UK, Charles has in effect been made homeless. He was last in the UK in 2022 for one week, and before that not since 2017 when he emigrated.

“I have nothing, nothing in the UK at all,” says Charles as he shows a text from the British consulate explaining where in Heathrow those suddenly left homeless can get help.

“All I want is to return to my wife, my home and my friends in Sweden and to live a quiet, peaceful life,” adds Charles, who does not want to publicly share his full identity.

His forced flight on Tuesday shows that deportations of British citizens who lived in Sweden before Brexit are continuing. Stockholm has already deported 458 British people after rejected residency applications, a higher proportion in terms of its population than any EU member state.“

[Guardian]

Just mad. Deported from Sweden, Sweden of all countries, the country which has allowed in literally millions of useless blacks and browns in the past 30 years (the Swedish population is nearly 11M, and about 1.5M of those are non-white).

Back in the 1980s, Sweden was fairly strict about entry; I have blogged in the past about how I was refused entry at the port of Malmo in 1982, and was sent back to Travemunde (in the then Bundesrepublik (West Germany), on the border of the DDR (East Germany), but that was before Sweden surrendered to the black/brown migration invasion.

This really is just mad: a (real) British person deported after 9 years lawfully in Sweden without any problem, yet millions of blacks and browns allowed to stay there (almost all heavily subsidized, and many committing crimes as well). Some Somalis are even in the pathetic Swedish Parliament (Riksdag) now. Mad.

In Soviet days, and also in the pre-revolutionary era before the First World War, late September and October (in the warmer parts of the Soviet Union such as the Black Sea and nearby hills) was called “the velvet season”, when the more affluent took their holidays (i.e. after the masses took theirs); when the weather was warm but not too hot, and when the resorts were far less crowded. Places such as Gagra, Sukhumi, Sochi, Yalta, and hill spas such as Mineralnyi Vodi.

That beach looks very crowded, though. Different times, I suppose.

What they are visiting is a supposed “reconstruction”, which was built in the decades following WW2. The original Auschwitz labour camp complex was destroyed in 1944 and 1945. Nothing of it remains, and it has never been proven, even on a balance of probabilities, that “gas chambers” ever existed there.

Needless to say, I did not visit that rip-off theme park when I visited Poland, even though I spent quite some time in Bielsko-Biala, which is not very far away.

Russian Urals oil in Western ports has risen above $110 per barrel – the highest level since April. The increase is supported by high demand and expensive Brent crude.

In France, fuel shortages have begun at gas stations. Macron has demanded that the government implement “full mobilization” to ensure supplies and control prices, amid calls for protests. In Poland, Prime Minister Donald Tusk is warning of possible record-high fuel prices. He says that prices could soon reach levels that previously seemed impossible.“]

The BBC found the one inhabitant of Piddington village who thinks English protesters, and the 350 English villagers around her, more of a threat to the village and herself than thousands of black and brown migrant-invaders (all male) .

Turns out that she is a loonie and socio-politically tendentious woman (I think maybe Australian or New Zealand origin, probably the latter), who apparently has 2 mixed-race children, having been “knocked-up” at some point by a black.

Why that should be, I do not know, but they all seem to be very feministic, very politically-correct/”woke”, very judgmental, and —every single one— a complete waste of space. Must be something to do with the education offered over there.

I do not know personally, neither have I ever met, NWO/ZOG political puppet and former NZ PM, Jacinda Ardern, but I believe that she is exactly the same, from what I have seen of her in the msm etc.

The woman featured seems unable to distinguish between the villagers tolerating her, her black “partner” (probably a West Indian), and her mixed-race children, and the same villagers (about 350 in number) being invaded by between 1,500 and 3,500 black and brown men from the most backward parts of the world.

Still, what does that mean when Russia has untold, but certainly tens of thousands, of conventional missiles, up to 7,000 nuclear weapons, and also the ability to place thousands of drones in the field in any 24-hour period?

Also, if Germany provides Patriot missiles to the Kiev regime, those missiles will not be available for German use, if push comes to shove.

Israel is doomed, at least in the medium term.

Evil little sprite.

I can agree with that, and with some other Dugin remarks, but his overall philosophy is confused, like that of fellow Slavonic philosopher (of sorts) Slavoj Zizek: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Dugin

[“The rapid proliferation of Russian advanced, motorized drones poses an increasing challenge to Ukraine’s air defense system, forcing Kyiv to adapt to a faster and more demanding threat. – Reuters.
According to Reuters, the number of launches of Russian motorized drones has increased from approximately 450 in June to 2,850 in August, while Ukrainian intelligence estimates production at around 3,000 per month. With speeds reaching 500 km/h, these drones are much more difficult to intercept with cheaper Ukrainian interceptor drones, compared to slower systems like the “Shahed.”
This shift appears to give Russia an advantage in terms of cost and speed. Ukraine is under pressure to develop faster interceptors, guided missiles, electronic warfare systems, and AI-supported defense systems, while some Ukrainian pilots are increasingly relying on fighter jets and, in some cases, artillery fire, as missile supplies dwindle.
From a Russian military perspective, the value of these drones lies not only in the damage they can inflict, but also in their ability to force Ukraine to expend more expensive and limited defensive resources, while continuously adapting its air defense network. Reuters reports suggest that Moscow is increasingly leveraging differences in speed, production volume, and cost to create sustained pressure on Ukrainian defenses.

[“This is the liberal worldview in one clip. Grooming gangs don’t matter. It was a distant scandal. It’s been blown out of proportion. I would rather talk about AI & economics.

Aside from conveniently ignoring the fact, as even Louise Casey reports, that grooming gangs are still rife TODAY, like most liberals Rory’s brain cannot compute what the scandal is really about.

As Jon Haidt showed in his work, unlike conservatives liberals literally cannot process in-group loyalty, belonging, tradition, or the sanctity of a community.

The grooming gang scandal matters and should be front and centre in our national debate because it ran roughshod over all of that.

It involved the violation of our people and children. It saw out-groups prey on the in-group. And it directly clashed with our values.

Most ordinary people can see that. They can sense that while this is about Pakistani gangs it’s also about a fundamental clash of values and an intense anger about how fellow members of the in-group were treated by outsiders.

But liberals like Rory cannot. They will only ever talk about harm when it is done to minorities or outsiders. And they will only ever talk about empathy when it involves migrants, outsiders, newcomers — they literally have no serious interest in white British working class kids, never-mind showing them more loyalty than migrant communities.

Liberals have an enormous blind spot which you see right here in this clip. They are just incapable of talking about group identity, loyalty, and culture which is also why they are losing politically. They do not even think it’s worth talking about. Unfortunately for them, millions of people think otherwise.“]

Just another opinions-approved monkey-on-a-stick.

I assessed Rory Stewart on the blog as long ago as 2019, in a blog post which —with a very large number of appended updates— has been one of the most popular over the years, read by thousands of people:

Incidentally, Stewart says that much of the Pakistani sex crime in the UK happened “long ago…10-12 years ago“. In fact, it continues, but apart from that, Stewart does not mention the tribal Jew-Zionist whining about “the holocaust” which, to the extent that it happened in the fashion often believed (and most of it did not), happened 82-87 years ago… soon it will be a century ago.

Needless to say, puppet of the Jewish-Israel lobby, Gove, that little drunk, and drug-abusing bastard (and, when MP, expenses fraud), did not raise the question.

Stewart mentions several —yes, important— other problems that face the UK, but nothing good can happen when this country is, as it soon may be, non-European and, moreover, when the majority of the population soon will have racial-cultural origins in the least developed, least cultured, indeed least-intelligent parts of the world.

Not just women, but probably more women than men. The kind of women that, in the UK in the 1980s, 1990s (and even a decade or so ago) used to worship that African dimwit Mandela and his ANC rabble. Brainwashed by multikulti msm propaganda that few had the knowledge or intellect to critique.

[cartoon from 2022, the time of the 2020-2022 “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic]

It remains incredibly sinister to me how many of the British, as well as other, people were willing to be corralled and controlled by the System-broadcast fear of a virus that actually killed only a tiny fraction (a tiny fraction of 1%) of the population.

Officially, in 2022, only about 50 out of every 100,000 people died either “of” or “with” Covid (almost all “with”, not “of”, i.e. it was not Covid that killed them at all). The real figure for deaths actually from Covid itself was probably about 5 out of every 100,000 people in 2022, maybe even fewer, maybe none at all.

The British people were tested by that whole conspiratorial and giant mass-psychological experiment. The majority failed (from my point of view) and proved that they were willing to be compliant slaves, so long as they were a.bought off with some money and more leisure time; and b.brainwashed by “expert” (fake expert) advice and enough pseudo-communitarian propaganda.

As a matter of fact, I should say that one of the most prominent facts about Britain in 2026 is the widely-held belief that “wishing makes it so.“

I am not only referring to the epidemic of fake “trans” persons etc. You see the syndrome all over the place. For example, the belief that ever-more impressive exam results in schools and colleges mean that students are ever-more educated and/or intelligent.

The same is true of the ever-greater numbers of “graduates”, the same being found everywhere now in low-level retail jobs, call centre jobs, all sorts of poorly-paid, low-skill jobs.

Another example: the belief that Britain is a nation (leave that aside for now) which can face down or successfully fight Russia. That belief requires its believers (retired senior military desk-officers, quite a number of MPs, thousands if not hundreds of thousands of middleaged/elderly Daily Express and Daily Mail readers etc) to believe that a country (the UK) with a very small —and frankly now not very impressive— army/navy/air force, and about 50 at-any-time-usable nuclear missiles can “defeat” (if “defeat” has any meaning in the nuclear age), or at least hold, a country (Russia) 72x the size, with twice the population, with massive armed forces and, most importantly, as many as 7,000 nuclear weapons, some of which cannot be intercepted or stopped.

Another example: that Britain can continue to allow the importation of millions of racially and culturally backward individuals while maintaining the level of, or even improving the level of, society here (cultural norms, services, pay, State benefits, environment etc). It is more than mistaken; it is actually mad, yet millions of people [want to] believe it.

For me, at least some of the pervasive untruth around had its genesis in the “holocaust” farrago spread out since 1945 and particularly the past 40 years. In particular, the “gas chambers” fable.

Untruth has pervaded our society and so poisoned it, and its politics.

Angela Rayner is herself a personification of sleaze (also ignorance).

Farage himself is not particularly popular, not particularly liked or respected. However, as frequently noted on the blog, Farage’s and Reform’s best point is not anything Reform or Farage may do, or may have done, but the state of the traditional System parties. They also are not much liked or respected. People are voting against them, not for Reform or, even less, for Farage himself.

Look at the opinion polls: Reform and Labour both in the low/mid 20s, around 25%. The Conservative Party a few points below that level.

The United Nations predicts that global fertility will continue to decline for the remainder of this century and reach a below-replacement level of 1.8 by 2100, and that world population will peak in 2084.[3]“

He had never studied sociology as an undergraduate, never taken a Master’s in it, and never written a doctoral thesis in it.

At a Cabinet Office all-staff meeting earlier this week, First Secretary Louise Haigh even joked No10 was “extremely distressed” by how often the PM was away from the building – before stressing it was because he was “so dedicated and committed” to getting out around the country and delivering his agenda.

Haigh also told officials to “take your cue from the Prime Minister’s ambition”, saying he was “not the kind of politician that has to have a full plan before he starts diagnosing the problems in the country”.

She urged civil servants to bring forward ideas “no matter how risky or politically unpalatable it seems” and to “put it in front of us and let’s thrash it out”.]

Ah. So Burnham is “so dedicated and committed to getting out and around the country and delivering his agenda” yet actually has no real agenda, so what his travelling around really means is his showing off and spouting meaningless hot air. Pathetic.

Also, if this latest government of clowns has a supposed or worked-out “agenda”, why would they be asking civil servants to come up with ideas? Because Burnham and his cronies have none?

It sounds very much as if the mindset is “Britain needs a way forward but we have no idea what that should even be, let alone how to achieve it“…

Utterly pathetic.

Further thought: while, in strict British Constitutional theory, there is nothing to prevent Burnham becoming an MP “by arrangement”, then simply taking over as Prime Minister, in the real political world he will not be thought of, by most voters, as really legitimate until and unless he holds a general election.

At present, despite Labour now overhauling Reform UK in some opinion polls, it is quite likely that any early general election would result in Labour losing about half its present 405 MPs. If it were to reduce its numbers anywhere below 326, it will be seen as, and indeed would be, a lame duck government.

That is Burnham’s dilemma. At present, he seems to be against holding a general election, but unless he can pull a rabbit out of the hat soon, Labour will be toast (again).

Labour’s polling numbers will probably start to decline (again) before long.

[“Fox News, citing a new chart, announced that approximately two-thirds of the United States’ 2,330 Patriot missiles, held before a potential war with Iran, have been expended, reducing the US Army’s air defense system reserves to about 800 missiles!

Additionally, according to information released by Fox News, half of the U.S. THAAD air defense system’s reserves have also been consumed.“]

Bad news for the USA, Israel, and the Kiev regime, as well as the fake “states” of the Gulf; good news for both Iran and Russia.

Jesus H. Christ! This is what Europe is facing— an invasion by barbaric untermenschen. Mow them down.

Look at the underlying disease, not merely the symptom(s).

Not one, however, who “struts his stuff” vulgarly; an English gentleman who, however, has ideas and principles, and some steel…

[“Collectivism is an evolutionary behaviour that enables people to survive things that they could never survive as individuals, and to develop civilisations and higher forms of living.

Whereas extreme individualism, in nature, is the reserve of primitive creatures and organisms.

The consequence of this is that collectivist societies and political forces will always dominate, in the long term, over individualistic and Liberal ones because they have, on average, an intelligence advantage.

The kind of neo-liberal hyper-capitalist individualism that exists on the ‘right’ today is a consequence of dysgenic societies that have facilitated the survival of people who in previous times would have either died or been killed off due to their selfishness and greed.

This is why Thatcherite, neoliberal politics is a dead end – it has no future because in times of real political crisis evolution kills it off.”]

Of the several leaders of small nationalist parties in the UK at present, Yerbury stands out by reason of his powers of analysis and reason. His views seem to be quite similar to my own, in general, and from what I have read of them, so that is, of course, a strong recommendation for me.

Well worth reading.

“Refugees welcome” dimwits and virtue-signallers who got what they deserved but also inflicted the same on their fellow-citizens. Poundshop traitors.

Our animal friends.

The behaviour of many of the [Israeli] Jews is so appalling that even a Jewish Zionist scribbler is pained by their sadism and cruelty.

I have taken very little interest in the Manchester mayoral election circus. I just looked at the winner, one Bev Craig [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bev_Craig], a lesbian who sees no problem with the migration invasion (despite Manchester having been hit very hard by it).

Incidentally, why do so many female MPs, especially Labourites, call themselves by funny-peculiar diminutives (“Bev”, “Cat” etc)?

That tweet is right. People are not going to vote, many or even most of them, and the reason is because they hate and/or despise the parties standing. In the Manchester case, they had no faith, and were right to have no faith, in either Reform or Restore, let alone the System parties.

Why then did Labour win, albeit by getting 47% on a 25% turnout, i.e. by getting only about 12% of all eligible voters’ votes? Simple. “Ethnic” (non-white) voters, and/or public service worker voters.

Put simply, about 88% of the people of Manchester did not want Labour enough to vote for the new not-a-lady mayor.

Late tweets

Kiev-regime terrorism, probably.

John Cleese once again proves that he is invertebrate (has no backbone).

90% of the time when there is something rotten in the body politic, “they” are behind it somewhere.

Translates to a Commons with about 303 Labour MPs (about 23 short of a majority, and therefore requiring Labour to compact with the LibDems, or SNP, or both); 160 Reform UK MPs (official Opposition); 72 LibDems; 59 Cons; 24 SNP; 8 Greens [etc].

Perhaps social nationalism will rise up in 2033, 100 years after 1933…
