Saturday quiz

Well, this week 5/10, same as political journalist John Rentoul. I knew the answers to questions 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10. In the back of my mind, I think I might have scored on question 1, too, but did not.

Cuba: interesting report

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/13/no-water-or-electricity-and-children-begging-in-streets-filled-with-rubbish-but-this-is-why-i-wont-leave-cuba

I have written about Cuba previously (use search box if interested), but this report by a (formerly?) pro-Cuba and maybe pro-Castro Scotsman who has lived there for years is well worth reading.

Of course, it is almost trite to say that Cuba is on the point of collapse, because that has been said for the past 35 years, but it now seems inevitable, either from implosion or via American intervention.

It’s the third position which is very centrist in a political sense.

Meanwhile, Starmer-stein is again, as he fondly imagines, on the world stage. He wants British and EU taxpayers to stump up even more money for “defence” (anti-Russia build-up) and “Ukraine” (the sliding Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev).

Meanwhile the migration-invasion of the UK continues unabated…

Jews talking about killing all Palestinian Arabs in Gaza (etc) and then settling the cleared areas with Jew settlers or colonizers. A fully-Jewish “final solution”…

Genocide and then settlement by Jews, in plain language. Jew lawyers in the UK, USA etc may argue, in their Talmudic way, about whether Jews have or have not engaged in “genocide” in Gaza, but just look at the place now! Does it matter what label Jews or others place on what has been done?

Actually, from the Israeli point of view, the “crime” of the Palestinian Arab operatives on 7 October 2023 was not the killing of hundreds of Jewish revellers and military personnel (many of which were actually killed by Israeli forces, implementing free-fire protocols, anyway), but to have successfully invaded “Israeli” territory. That pierced the Israeli feeling of invulnerability.

I admit that I myself was taken by surprise; I would previously have doubted that the Arabs could pull off an operation like that (and keep the plans secret).

In fact, I think that Netanyahu and his cabal may have known of the 2023 attack on Israel in advance, and let it go ahead (in the manner of Roosevelt and Pearl Harbor), because it provided a good excuse to ethnically cleanse Gaza (just as Pearl Harbor provided the excuse to get the USA into war with Germany, via its Japanese ally).

I once sat there, outside, about 35 years ago, with my first wife. Perhaps 1991. It was around 1700 hrs. Two besuited French office workers (I presume) strolled past, glanced at us and one remarked to the other something about “les deux magots” (with hard “g“, too..). Neither of us having more than basic French, we wondered whether they were referring to us, and as “the two maggots”, but the name of the place refers to two Oriental figurines (something akin to “Magi”).

The world is not without kind people” [Russian proverb]

Someone once told me that she had known a former doorman at a block of expensive flats where many politicians lived (I think probably in the 1950s, but possibly in the 1930s). According to that report, the good tippers were mainly Conservative MPs, the poor ones mainly Labour Party ones (and Oswald Mosley).

The relative generosity was attributed, rightly or wrongly, to the view that Conservative MPs regarded relative poverty as inherent in society, so to be ameliorated by personal charity now and then, whereas socialists and other radicals regarded what was important as the changing of society so that poverty no longer existed, ergo tipping the relatively poor, or giving to them, was only a distraction from the real task.

I mention it out of interest, though I concede that it cannot be given much weight, in view of the fact that I cannot identify the original reporter, or at all verify the report content. Interesting, though.

Oh, dear…someone’s (still) in trouble. Starmer-stein.

Scribblers and talking heads such as Dan Hodges always think such figures are terribly important. They are not, because any “growth” benefit, unless explosive, benefit goes, almost entirely, to about 1%, and certainly not more than 5%, of the population; any fall, unless catastrophic, scarcely affects the 95% of the population.

Starmer-stein is desperate not to appoint a man because of any further hidden sex scandals, so has appointed, or is about to appoint a woman, one who apparently has no sex scandals but is a money-obsessed careerist office bully (incidentally, she married one of her former bosses in the private sector…).

I have blogged once or twice about the by-election. I see that Betfair now has the Greens odds-on, Reform about 5/2, and Labour well back on nearly 9/1.

I have found bookmakers’ odds a poor indication of the result of by-elections, but Labour already look like the big losers in this one. If I have to eat my words on the 27th (by-election is on 26th), so be it. I just cannot see either the Muslims (about 30% or so of the electorate of Gorton and Denton) or most English/British people (about 68% of the voters there) voting Labour now, despite Labour’s 50.8% at GE 2024. A lot has happened in the past 18 months.

I still think that Reform can do this, but we shall have to see. Exactly 2 weeks to go.

Jim Ratcliffe is right – it has been colonised by immigrants. That’s just a fact. No point pussyfooting around it. Streets and streets of entire families unable to speak in English, not working, not contributing – living under parallel legal systems.

It’s not even multiculturalism in some of these areas. There is one culture – Islam.

They do not want to live by the same rules as the rest of us. They choose not to be policed as the rest of us. So they’re not. What has that led to? We all know.

Britain increasingly resembles the third world. And with demographic changes, birthrates and immigration transforming our country as they are? That is a process which will only accelerate unless drastic action is taken.

I speak to MPs, plenty agree with me in private. They are, however, unwilling to say so publicly.

That needs to change, urgently.

The backlash for stating these obvious facts is aggressive, so MPs don’t do it. The intimidation works, it’s effective. But I don’t need the job, I don’t need the money. I’m just going to carry on telling the truth.

The drug trade, like all trades, is driven by its consumer base. Therefore, to eliminate the trade, you have to eliminate the consumers. Don’t think, or pretend to think, that you can stop mass drug abuse by arresting local drug dealers, or large dealers, or importers (smugglers), or even by executing them, let alone by bombing poppy fields in Asia or cocaine producing areas in South America. The only way, harsh though it would be, is to eliminate the end-users en masse.

As to the latest Israeli outrage, no doubt, in time, Israeli developers will be making money out of it, once Gaza has been ethnically cleansed in order to be used as Israeli/Jewish Lebensraum and/or “Club Trump”.

As I blogged yesterday, while the verdict does not sit easily with me by reason, mainly, of the injuries suffered by the policewoman, I am glad that the defendants escaped being sacrificed on the altar of Jewish/Zionist/Israeli supremacy.

The outcome of that trial has certainly exercized the usual suspects, such as Jewish Zionist troublemaker, liar, and perjurer, Gideon Falter, of the malicious Israeli/Jewish pressure group “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]. Twitter/X is alive with anger from Jews and other pro-Israel individuals, such as “Tommy Robinson”.

Of course, with inherited wealth and unmerited well-paid jobs, part-Jew Stewart thinks that an MP salary of nearly £100,000, and also MP expenses which can cover rent, mortgages, food, hotel stays, travel etc, constitute “low pay”. What an utter (political, certainly) cretin.

[“Dear @mike_reader (aka one term reader as he’s known in Northampton) I’m just wondering if you have been on the phone to your boss, our crime minister, asking for his resignation? Only I remember my husband being on the train home from Birmingham crown court after his wife had just been sentenced to 31 months in jail, wondering how he was going to go home and break this news to our young daughter. And you were calling for his resignation. Remember the social media posts you made about me and my husband? I know you deleted them, but don’t worry he kept the receipts. Not to mention you were without a doubt, one of the anonymous 13 individuals who made complaints to the council demanding my democratically elected husband resign from his seat, due to something his wife said. I wouldn’t want to be married to you! I’m not controlled by my husband, I’m my own person. I’m still yet to do a SAR and FOI to find out how much that investigation cost the council, who apparently have no money. Especially when they found no misconduct and you all insisted the council get a second opinion from one of the most expensive lawyers in the City. Only to be told the same thing. You could only wish you were half the man my husband is you see. Anyway, enough of my waffling. I was just writing to tell you I hope you treat the crime minister with the same regard you did as me and my family. Oh,and one more thing. Either Ray or I will be taking your seat from you at the next election. See you around Mike. Yours Sincerely The Wife of a Tory Councillor.“]

Mike Reader, MP for Northampton South, is yet another pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby drone, Labour Friends of Israel, and has accepted at least one all-expenses-paid trip to Israel, paid for by wealthy Jews and/or the Israeli government.

Exactly. The jury system, like the electoral system, cannot work properly in a mixed-race or “multikulti” society. Look at, eg, the O.J. Simpson murder trial in the USA; long ago now. The black/hispanic jury acquitted Simpson despite plain evidence of guilt, because the main and black attorney played the race card for all it was worth, then lived off that simple nonsense for years, pontificating on law and justice and God knows what. A woolly-head know-nothing.

Well, all that can be fixed, both in Sweden and elsewhere, including the UK. It will not be nice, though. Be warned.

I had thought, at one time and not so long ago, that Labour would not fall below about 20% or so because that is the proportion of non-whites in the UK, and most voted Labour. A crude rule-of-thumb, of course, though probably accurate, but that was then. I did not foresee that, despite the Green Party having a Jewish leader, many of the Muslims would transfer their loyalties to the Greens. The blatantly Jew-Zionist control of Labour was not so obvious in the past; now, it is glaringly evident, neon-light evident, and the Muslim voters have noticed.

That latest opinion poll would translate to a House of Commons with about 401 Reform UK MPs (a very strong majority), 58 Greens (very weak official Opposition), 51 LibDems, 45 SNP, 33 Lab, and 26 Cons [etc].

On those figures, both Starmer-stein and Kemi Badenoch would lose their seats, as would a huge number of others, including Wes Streeting, Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper. “I’m lovin’ it!“…

It seems more like weapons for a possible Iranian retaliatory strike. This is very frightening. Iran has already shown the United States and Israel that, with the political will, it has the capability to respond.

An exchange of strikes—if it occurs—will be real, including the use of hypersonic weapons. Therefore, any serious military engagement with Iran will be a military and political disaster for the United States, and Israel will cease to exist. This is absolutely certain.”]

Gorton and Denton by-election

I blogged yesterday about the upcoming by-election in a suburb of Manchester. In my blog post, I speculated that the only 3 parties in serious contention (there are 10 candidates in toto: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorton_and_Denton#Elections_in_the_2020s), i.e. Reform, Labour, and the Greens, might score about 30% each, leading to a close race in which Reform would be the likely winner.

Earlier today, I mentioned my gut feeling (almost entirely unevidenced, I concede) that the Gorton and Denton Labour vote might collapse before the by-election is held.

Well, faux-revolutionary or “licensed Bolshevik” Owen Jones, scribbling in the Guardian, has been talking to the Greens, whose own polling in the constituency presently shows Reform at 39%, the Greens at 34%, but Labour trailing around 21%: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/03/keir-starmer-gorton-denton-byelection-greens-labour.

More about the Gorton and Denton by-election

Now that Galloway and his Workers’ Party have decided not to stand, the Green Party vote-share will inevitably increase, most if not all of potential Galloway voters being Muslims who will now pivot to the Greens, as against Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment and its just-announced candidate, a Greek woman, born in Greece, and who seems to be a kind of “quangocrat” type.

As previously blogged, it seems to me that this may be a close match between Reform and the Greens. Labour did score 50.8% at GE 2024 not even a year ago but, since then, the Starmer government has failed on almost all fronts. I give it a couple of ticks in respect of a few smaller matters, but on the big things it has failed, abjectly.

I am thinking that the Labour vote percentage at the by-election might be around two-thirds of where it was at GE 2024. That would be in line with the national “Labour intending” vote (as expressed in recent opinion polls). Labour scored 33.7% at GE 2024, but at present is polling somewhere around 20%.

If replicated at the by-election, that would perhaps reduce the Lab vote to around 30% or so. The remaining ~20% seen at GE 2024 will either not vote (and that might be the main option, this being only a by-election) or will go Green or Reform, maybe half and half of the remainder.

Reform scored only 14.1% at GE 2024 (2nd place), but might get another 5% via former Labour voters, another 5% out of the 7.9% the Con Party scored at GE 2024, and perhaps will also get votes from people who normally do not vote. Call it 30% overall.

As for the Greens, they were 3rd-placed at GE 2024—they got 13.2%, and the Workers’ Party got 10.3%, so assuming that all of the latter join with the former, that makes somewhere not far short of 24%. Add about 5% from disenchanted former Labour voters, and the Greens might also get 30% at the by-election.

So there it is. The best I can do is think that Reform, the Greens, and Labour will all end up with somewhere around 30% of the total vote. May be a very close result, though my gut tells me that Labour may just collapse. No proof of that, just a nagging feeling.

There are 10 candidates in all. Those other than the main three will probably share about 10% of the total vote. Advance UK may take some votes away from Matt Goodwin and Reform, but I think not many. Only Reform has the public profile to possibly win the by-election, and that might persuade people who like Advance UK [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_UK] or its candidate, Nick Buckley [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Buckley], to switch to Reform.

As for the LibDems and the very minor or joke candidates, all but irrelevant.

Hard to call, but the momentum is surely with Reform UK at this point.

Just what Starmer-stein needed right now…(ha ha).

Goodwin may or may not win, but he must have a very good chance in the Gorton and Denton by-election. If former Conservative Party voters have any sense (which I doubt), they will vote tactically for Reform. The Con Party candidate, a rather mannish woman and ex-detective, has no chance anyway (Con Party only got 7.9% at GE 2024, and will probably lose its deposit at the by-election).

Incidentally, I saw a typically silly piece by Zoe Williams in the Guardian, saying that “Goodwin is the most extreme Reform candidate yet”. What would the silly woman think of me?…

Guardian report about the Gorton and Denton by-election

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/01/labour-gorton-and-denton-byelection-reform-fury

The people I met were disconnected and angry at the same time. Even if Labour somehow wins this by-election, how does it arrest the slide into hopelessness?

Labour may hold on here: as ever, it has a formidable get-out-the-vote machine, and droves of activists. As evidenced by Starmer’s rather stilted claim that the contest is reducible to “true patriotism against the plastic patriotism of Reform”, the party may yet manage what eluded it at last year’s by-election in the Welsh seat of Caerphilly, and successfully position itself as the best tactical choice to defeat Farage and Goodwin. But what even a Labour win will barely shift is what runs deep, here and all over the county: anger, disconnection and bewilderment with a party and government that are now floundering and disoriented.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[“Bus Driver Loses Unfair Dismissal Case After Stopping Thief

Last updated 11 minutes ago

On June 25, 2024, 62-year-old driver Mark Hehir pursued the thief on foot from his route 206 bus in north-west London, leaving the vehicle unattended briefly. When the man returned and swung first, Hehir punched back once, an action police called proportionate, but Metroline fired him for breaching safety protocols on assault, vehicle safety, and company reputation. An employment tribunal upheld the dismissal as fair last week, even as MPs and a petition with over 9,000 signatures demand his reinstatement amid public outrage.

Broken Britain

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

[Guardian headline]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Guardian]

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

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

Jewish Reform UK group

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

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

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

[Jewish News]

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 words…

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

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

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

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

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

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

NWO/ZOG puppets. Useless and treacherous.

Why are the Iranians waiting to be attacked. They could do as the Israelis have often done, mutatis mutandis, and launch a massive pre-emptive attack on Israel, using everything they have. Dimona, Ben-Gurion Airport, central Tel Aviv, and nearby wealthy suburbs and towns such as Ra’anana.

Channel 12 is an Israeli TV station.

[“Iran Showed Underwater Missile Tunnels and Threatened the Security of the Strait of Hormuz

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

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

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

More than 700 Afghans rescued from the Taliban by Jewish lawyers in UK

Daniel Berke and Simon Myerson, who founded the charity Azadi, say they have saved about 730 people so far

Comment unnecessary, I think.”

[from the blog, in a post dated 29 April 2022].

Well, there it is. Jews facilitating an influx of Afghans to this country.

Not just any old Jews, though. Simon Myerson is the fanatical Jew-Zionist barrister and (until sacked) Recorder (p/t criminal judge) who, with Daniel Berke, was also involved in the James Wilson defamation case. Berke was solicitor for at least one of the unsuccessful defendants; Myerson was one of a number of Jews whose sworn testimony on behalf of the defendants was either disbelieved or given little or no weight by the trial judge.

Other Jews involved in the James Wilson case included (as Counsel) barrister Beth Grossman, and the notorious, negligent, and dishonest solicitor, “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who (with his wife/carer Mandy Blumenthal) also tried to both create a provocation against the black comedian Reginald D. Hunter at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2024 and to make money out of it via “compensation” etc. Typical…

Hunter was later privately prosecuted by the malicious Jewish pressure group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”), but the case thrown out in 2025, the District Judge calling it a disgraceful attempt to abuse the English legal system. In fact, the District Judge ordered that all further cases involving the “CAA” should have a copy of the transcript of his remarks appended for the perusal of later judges.

I do not know whether Beth Grossman is a member/supporter of the “CAA” (probably), but the others criticized by that trial judge all are: Myerson, Berke, a Jew academic called Hirsch [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hirsh], a Jew journalist (scribbler) called Cailler (Daily Star employee…), and a Jewish woman called Joanne Bell, prolific on Twitter/X (as @jobellerina), among others

Speaking in lay terms rather than in strictly legal ones, the activities of the “CAA” etc amount to an ongoing Jew-Zionist, pro-Israel conspiracy, in my opinion.

Jewish pro-Israel “lawfare” is a conspiratorial abuse of the laws, courts, and legal procedure of this country.

It is what “they” do: see

The immediately above false complaint about me to the police in 2021, perpetrated by Jew-Zionist agitator Stephen Silverman of the fake charity (pro-Israel pressure group), “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, was particularly egregious.

Silverman, who awarded himself the title “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” at the “CAA”, should have been prosecuted for perversion or attempted perversion of the course of justice, but (presumably because the CAA has suborned or bamboozled the woodentopped police and “Clown” Prosecution Service) never was. In my view, he was and remains patently guilty.

I should have made official complaint about Silverman at the time, but assumed (wrongly, it seems) that the police were actually capable of doing their job properly, and also of thinking for themselves and taking the initiative..

At the very least, Silverman should have been prosecuted for wasting police time (by making up a completely invented and false claim involving me allegedly “racially harassing” him in 2021). See the blog post for the details.

Can that be accurate? 22% of voters are intending to vote Labour at the next GE? Seems far too inflated. As does 20% for the utterly pathetic Conservative Party.

Gorton and Denton by-election

Good points by tweeter “Rod Mason”, but there is also the point that, as the insurgent “save Britain” option, Reform need to keep momentum (by winning) far more than Labour.

Quite possible. Not unlikely.

Incidentally, I disagree with those saying that Matt Goodwin is a poor choice of candidate. The kneejerk choice would have been some obscure Reform member, maybe Pakistani.

By going with Goodwin, Reform have made a bold choice, someone English/British who is widely known via his online activity and his appearances on TV. I should say that, while his probable victory is certainly not nailed on, Goodwin and Reform are in pole position here.

Goodwin is not associated with the Conservative Party defectors to Reform, and has opposed their being allowed to join.

One has to start with two facts: firstly, that Gorton and Denton was a Labour heartland seat but also, secondly, that Starmer-stein’s police-state Labour “cosplay” has trashed whatever Northern England tribal Labour loyalties survived the Blair-Brown years.

In the UK as a whole, Labour is running at between 20%-25% in terms of the opinion polls. Obviously, a place like Gorton and Denton will be ahead of that. However, many pro-Labour voters may decide not to vote. Reform UK intending voters are angry. They will vote.

For many people, the situation in the UK is becoming existentially bad. They want serious action to stop that (starting with the migrant-invaders), and so far are given no red meat at all by the System parties.

Apart from those main points, there is the Green Party intervention. Many Labour-leaning people will vote Green because it is ideologically close to what Labour was during the Michael Foot years of the 1980s. Their votes may seriously dent Labour’s vote.

Labour scored 50.8% in Gorton and Denton at the 2024 GE, but is now polling in the area at around half that. Partly, in fact mainly, anger at Starmer-stein (“Tel Aviv Keith”) and his cabal, partly the fact that both the Green Party and Reform are offering radical alternatives.

…and if there are those who cannot live without halal or kosher-slaughtered animal flesh, then they are free to leave this country, with or without a boot up the ****. Win-win…

What was that expression, something about departures from a ship?…

I was glad when Trump was first elected, and then later re-elected, and for one reason only, i.e. that he would probably not trigger or launch a nuclear war with Russia. To that extent, my “choice” (notional only, because I am not, nor ever have been, a U.S. citizen, though I was once a “resident alien” issued with a Green Card) has been validated by events. However, much of what is happening in the USA now is somewhere between tragedy and farce.

In fact, it is said that that particular video, above, is yet another AI production. Not unlikely, but my point still stands.

On a related topic, how long before a “long-lost piece of AGFA film” is “found”, and will appear to “prove” that German labour prison/labour camps in Poland in the early 1940s “really did” have “gas chambers”?

I wonder…

[many many years ago, a supposed blueprint plan of the Auschwitz camp was supposedly “found” in a Berlin attic. It had “GAS CHAMBER” marked in big capital letters, in case the point was missed by anyone (nothing else on the supposed plan was so marked). It was a one-day-wonder as a news story, and I have heard nothing of it since, I presume because the fakery was a little too obvious]

So 16,500 (in the civil war in Iran) is “genocide“, but 50,000-100,000 (in the Israeli-Jew “war” on mainly unarmed Arab civilians in Gaza) is supposedly not “genocide”. What a world.

[“This evening, with sorrow, I have decided to resign from my position as an Opposition Shadow Minister and as a member of the Conservative & Unionist Party. Since joining the Conservative Party at the age of 14, I have been a loyal and committed supporter of the principles advocated by Margaret Thatcher that have always underpinned my own political beliefs. However, the time has come to put country before party. The failure of the Conservative Party both when in government and more recently in opposition to actively hold the government to account on the issue of Chagossian self-determination and the defence of British sovereignty, represents a clear red line for me. Since entering Parliament in 2001, I have consistently argued, both from the backbenches and the frontbench, that the right of self-determination of the Chagossian people is sacrosanct, and that they alone should decide the future sovereignty of the Chagos Islands. Regrettably, these concerns have fallen on deaf ears. Both the government and the opposition have been complicit in the surrender of this sovereign British territory to a foreign power. This was made abundantly clear by the failure of Conservative peers to vote down the British Indian Ocean Territory Bill at third reading earlier this month, following direction from the top of the party. Sadly, I now believe that the Conservative Party is irreparably bound to the mistakes of previous governments and unwilling to take meaningful accountability for the poor decisions made over so many issues. Moreover, the views and concerns of constituents such as mine in Romford have been consistently ignored for far too long. Following a conversation earlier this evening with Nigel Farage M.P., I have therefore agreed to join Reform U.K. as its seventh Member of Parliament. It is clear to me that Reform U.K. is now the only political movement that is genuinely willing to fight for the best interests of the United Kingdom. The views and concerns of the majority of the British people must no longer be sidelined. Our country has endured a generation of managed decline. Radical action is now required to reverse the damaging decisions of the past and to forge a new course for Britain – one that firmly places the interests of the British people first.”]
