Well, this week a narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul. His 4/10 was trumped by my 5/10. I knew the answers to questions 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10.

The late Lindsey Graham was a complete and willing agent of the international Jew-Zionist conspiracy; always warmongering for NWO/ZOG.

Though I concede that there is no direct (and publicly-available) evidence for it, it is also possible that MOSSAD had compromizing material on him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham#Personal_life.

Notwithstanding the maxim de mortuis nihil nisi bonum, Graham was a very negative force in international relations.

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

“A war hawk, Graham advocated an interventionist role for the United States and was a prominent supporter of Israel, Ukraine, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.“

[Wikipedia]

Like many people from his part of the world (South Carolina), Graham died of a heart attack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham#Death.

I recall reading, on one of my own visits to Charleston long ago, about how the subtropical climate and (very tasty) Low Country cuisine combined to make people from that part of the world susceptible to heart attacks and strokes.

That is French history. Around a quarter of the population of France is now non-European, not French in any real sense. They have no real connection to French history. The same applies, mutatis mutandis, to the equivalent populations in the UK.

The rioters are either non-white or (and/or) are extreme proponents of a multikulti society. They should all be shot down in the streets, regardless of race, age or condition.

[“You can grieve for what’s happening in France – I do, I’m half French, I grew up between here and Paris. But beware who you’re RTing – plenty of MAGA and Marine Le Pen peeps are on here salivating at the division they can drive. Lowe exploiting it too. The only side you should be on is architecture, shops and Macron’s and I think, even as a fan, he needs to pull his finger out. Devastating carnage across the country, toughen up the response.“]

The lady (ex-wife of an ex-MP (Con Party); she often tweets about her fantasy political party called “the Moderates”. Apparently, her idea of “moderate” is someone pro-EU, pro- the Kiev regime dictatorship, pro-Jew (though not Israel after the Gaza slaughter, so credit to her for that at least), pro some social security, but anti the Triple Lock and pensioners having financial security, and pro massive (and unnecessary) defence spending…

She also calls anyone even marginally nationalist “fash” (i.e. “fascist”), just like the “antifa” crazies.

Incidentally, I always thought she looked, on her Twitter/X pictures, somehow not entirely English.

Even she, though, sees that the response to the disorder is and looks weak.

Unfortunately, that Edginton person, in other tweets, quotes the malicious goblins of the Jew-Zionist org ,”Campaign Against Antisemitism”, effectively a semi-volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, which org is run by Jewish liars and perjurers, which engages in “lawfare” against British people such as me, and operates against free speech and freedom of expression.

Anyone who quotes, approvingly, the “CAA”, is probably going to be a waste of space.

[“The Trump administration is reportedly proposing to Europe that it resume purchasing Russian gas as part of a peace agreement regarding Ukraine, which would allow Moscow to earn billions of dollars in revenue and restore its economic influence.”

This was reported by the New York Times, which claims that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff discussed the possibility of resuming the operation of Russian gas pipelines through Ukraine and the “Nord Stream” pipelines, noting that American investors could also receive a portion of the profits.

However, Germany is actively opposed to this, warning that “resuming dependence on Russian energy sources could threaten European security.” The publication notes, however, that the most popular party in the country, “Alternative for Germany” (AfD), supports the restoration of imports in order to lower energy prices.“]

Good, if that means that Israel and the Kiev regime will have to do without.

“French”? Ha ha…

A good caption might be “French ‘anti-racist’ girl gets schooled by life as the non-European looters push past her to take what they want.”

Talking point

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16198861/falklands-furore-marine-machine-gun-migrant-boats.html

“The commander who led the land operation to liberate the Falklands has triggered a furore by saying that boats carrying migrants across the Channel should be machine-gunned.

‘I would shoot them,’ Major-General Julian Thompson told a documentary about mass immigration to Britain.

The Home Office warned today that anyone taking the law into their own hands would face ‘serious criminal consequences’, while the Tories stressed that ‘opening fire on migrant boats would be completely wrong‘

Maj Gen Thompson, 92, who headed 3 Commando Brigade during the conflict, said of the thousands of migrants who land on UK shores each month: ‘We could stop them tomorrow if we really had the guts. I’d shoot them, sorry, but I would.’

Asked if he feared a backlash to his remarks, Maj Gen Thompson said: ‘As long as they don’t come around here, I don’t mind what they do.

‘They come over here and rape our girls. One machine-gun blast is all it would take… then they would get the message. I just want them to bugger off. 

‘If they [the Government] don’t stop them then there will be a revolution. Our leaders are just wet.’

He also says Britain is ‘just going downhill’, adding: ‘I’m glad I won’t see it, I’ll be dead.

‘It’s not Britain any more, it’s a sort of funny conglomeration of people, and in a wet country that allows itself to be pushed around all over the place.'”

[Daily Mail]

General Thompson is quite right.

The General has earned the right, at age 92 and with his distinguished military background, to speak the truth regardless of the untruths all around the issues commented upon.

Gove and Lola Salem

[Lola Salem with Gove]

I had never heard of the defendant, Lola May Salem. Turns out that she is of Jewish or part-Jewish background, having written in The Critic magazine that, when a child in Nanterre, a low-income banlieue near Paris inhabited by many North Africans, her brother experienced “anti-Semitism”.

It may well be, speculating a little, that this Lola Salem is of pied-noir origin. Google AI has this: “A Pied-Noir (plural: Pieds-Noirs, meaning literally “black foot” in French) is a person of European descent—including French, Spanish, Italian, Maltese, and Sephardic Jewish origins—who was born or lived in French-ruled Algeria during the colonial period from 1830 to 1962.“

Many pieds-noirs who left Algeria in the early 1960s were of Jewish origin.

One can only imagine what that woman saw in Gove. Someone wealthy and still influential, one supposes. Fairly big age-gap (26 years: she is 33, he 59). Still, these things happen.

Incidentally, the restaurant where Lola Salem and Gove indulged in seafood and public displays of affection seems to have been Sheekey’s [https://j-sheekey.co.uk/our-history/], off St. Martin’s Lane in London. I used to walk past there occasionally. and always thought to try it out, but never did.

Gove must have liked Lola Salem a lot, looking at the prices: https://j-sheekey.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/JSheekey_Autumn-Menus_ALC-26_09_26.pdf

The wine list is pretty impressive, too.

Regular readers of the blog will be aware that one of the 5 tweets that got me disbarred in 2016 at the behest of the Jewish lobby (specifically “UK Lawyers for Israel”/”UKLFI” and, in the shadows, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”/”CAA”) was that describing Gove in some such terms as a dishonest expenses cheat and fraud, and puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby. All true, but that did not save me from a wrongful (and, it later turned out, actually unlawful) disbarment.

At that time (2016), I was unaware that Gove was also a cocaine abuser and, at times, a shambling drunk as well. That only emerged into public view later. He was even filmed on House of Commons TV staggering drunkenly into the Chamber, scarcely able to stand up, but the tweets showing that (I think, YouTube footage too) have disappeared. “They” must look after their puppets.

Well, I cannot comment on the Lola Salem criminal matter as such, firstly because it is now sub judice, but also because I know nothing about it anyway, and first heard of the matter —and the defendant herself— only a few hours ago.

I wonder whether Gove himself was questioned. Perhaps it will come out at the Lola Salem trial; we shall have to wait and see.

The Jewish thing seems to hang around Gove like a clinging cloud of smog. I have never been able to discover for sure the background of Gove’s estranged wife, Sarah Vine (they are separated but not yet divorced; something to do with “paperwork”, apparently…). I have my suspicions, but her origins seem shrouded in mystery.

Gove and Sarah Vine were married in 2001 (in France) and stayed together until 2022. 21 years of marriage. There has never been given, publicly, any specific reason why they split, which was apparently at Sarah Vine’s instigation. I believe that the split happened prior to Gove’s mesalliance or misalliance with Lola Salem, so what was the triggering event?

In fact, it was the Jewish lobby that got Gove into Parliament as an MP in the first place (he is now yet another absurd “lord” in the degraded House of Lords, and Editor of the Spectator). He remains a complete doormat for the Jewish lobby and for Israel.

Tweets seen

The mainstream media are now trying to hide the whole story, even the Daily Mail, which at first splashed it. The (((usual))) mob, of course. For example, the System scribbler Dan Hodges, usually prolific on Twitter/X, has not mentioned the case at all.

You see it whenever the Jew-Zionist lobby wants to cover up something (or amplify something, for that matter).

For example, when dishonest and incompetent solicitor, Mark Lewis was fined and censured by the Tribunal under the Solicitors Regulation Authority in 2018. At first, there was nothing at all about it in the msm, not prior to “trial”, and nothing afterwards but Jews complaining about how “unfair” the process and sentence had been.

In fact, the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal bent over backwards to be fair to Lewis (now a wheelchair-bound invalid who lives in Israel much of the time) and even reduced his fine to a third or a quarter of what it would otherwise have been because Lewis’s own pro bono Counsel told the Tribunal that Lewis had no assets at all beyond his own clothes, a private pension worth £70 per week, and a used mobility scooter. No money in the bank. No real property. Nothing.

Even Lewis’s car (one adapted for invalids) was one provided to him via the DWP Motability scheme (until he crashed into someone and, after that, ceased to drive).

Ecce the great defamation lawyer…

The point is that the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby effectively controls or very strongly influences almost all those who scribble for newspapers, edit them, or own them.

I was just looking at Twitter/X. The Lola Salem/Gove matter is not mentioned by Dan Hodges, Andrew Neil, Robert Peston, BBC News, Sky News etc, you name it. News blackout.

Yes, the criminal matter is now sub judice, but even the bare facts of the matter that would be reportable are not in fact being reported.

[“Rupert Lowe has unveiled Restore Britain’s six point plan to overhaul the NHS, calling for an end to mass immigration and tougher controls on access to British healthcare.

The proposals include removing medical school admission caps, prioritising British medical professionals, recruiting exceptional overseas specialists, introducing penalties for missed appointments and expanding private sector involvement to cut waiting lists.

Lowe also wants free hospital parking, an end to foreign language translation services, the abolition of NHS DEI programmes, reduced bureaucracy and stronger accountability for senior managers.

He argues that the NHS must prioritise British patients and that immigration is placing unsustainable pressure on services. Restore Britain says a more detailed healthcare policy is being developed.“]

Should, but will not. The Kiev regime is a cabal-dictatorship.

Loonie.

[“A little park has a Tom cat who is fed by everyone. Last year, he was given the name Silent King. He neither fights with anyone nor has he seen anyone getting scolded. He sits on a parking chair and watches the people coming and going.
One day, a white kitten came to the park. She was very cute, but it turned out that she was blind. She kept bumping into things and didn’t react to sounds at all.

She didn’t seem very lively when she was alone, but she wasn’t lonely either.
The Tom cat noticed her and started staying close to her. Wherever he went, he would walk in front of her so that she would bump into him. He took good care of her.

He would lead her to wherever he was, adjusting his speed so she could follow properly.

Whenever he would go to the road’s other side, he would cover her with his body.

Whenever it rained, he would take the kitten to a safe place and then sit with her.

The vet confirmed that the kitten was blind by birth. If the Tom cat hadn’t been there, she would have died within a week.

People tried to separate the kitten to adopt her, but both of them kept crying.
That’s why it was decided that the community would keep both of them together.
“]

Well, at least better than what the main System parties are offering.

Social-national Britain has to prepare to seize power without the formality of elections, the way things are going.

To destroy a whole city, its inhabitants, its animal population etc is a very bad thing to do, or have to do, but one wonders whether Europe really needs the city of Kiev at all.

When the state of Israel was created in 1948, a monster was born, created from the ghettoes, labour camps, and prisons of Europe as it was in or prior to the Second World War.

What is Gove afraid of? What are (((those))) behind Gove afraid of?

If that is really the Norwegian Ambassador to Ukraine, one finds it hard to characterize. An idiot, obviously. Decadent, presumably. I also find his age perlexing. I am, at 70 (last month), hardly young, and I do find ages hard to judge anyway, but that idiot looks like a schoolboy (and not a very intelligent one).

Well, this week 7/10 (admittedly including one educated guess, i.e. question 1); political journalist John Rentoul scored 4/10. I did not know the answers to questions 8 and 9, and could not bring the answer to question 6 to mind, though I really knew it (in the back of my mind).

[“RUSSIAN DRONE ATTACKS REPORTED ACROSS UKRAINE — JET-POWERED DRONES REACH LVIV*

Overnight, Geran-type drones reportedly targeted Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lutsk, as well as the Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Lviv and Poltava regions.

Reports also indicate that Geran-4/5 jet-powered drones reached Lviv for the first time. The extent of the damage and any casualties require independent confirmation.

  • The reported expansion of drone attacks toward western Ukraine highlights the challenge of defending a vast territory. Faster jet-powered variants could further complicate interception efforts and increase pressure on Ukrainian air defenses.

The key question is whether Ukraine can sustain nationwide air defense as the threat evolves in both range and speed.“]

I suggest that the Russian side leaves Lvov unattacked. Lvov is an ancient and interesting city, at one time within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

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

Once Russia achieves victory and supremacy over Eastern Ukraine, and once Kiev ceases to be the capital of a fake state, a real Ukrainian rump state, autonomous but disarmed and neutral, can be centred on Lvov.

Burnham’s recent announcements will have bolstered Labour’s chances. The fact that Burnham’s announcements are mainly hot air, and will never be implemented, will not become apparent until 2027, 2028, 2029, or later. As yet, they are likely to be attractive to many voters who may perhaps regard them as something real and viable.

On that basis, a general election this year might be a possibility. However, Reform might do better than expected. It all depends on how turned-off the voters are with the main System parties.

Holborn and St. Pancras by-election

A lot of chatter about this on Twitter/X and in the mainstream media. In fact, Labour were always likely to win it. Labour has held the seat since its creation in 1983, and the Labour vote has never dropped below 43.2% (in 2005); the peak was 70.1% in 2017, when Starmer was the candidate but (ironically) Corbyn was Labour leader. Starmer’s vote in 2024 was 48.9%. Yesterday’s Labour vote was 45.2%.

The nearest any challenging party has come to beating Labour there, until yesterday, was in the 1987 General Election, when the Conservative Party managed 31.1%.

On that basis, the Green Party 32.8% yesterday was a fairly good result, in fact, particularly in view of the fact that they only scored 10.4% in 2024.

The British nationalist parties never stood a chance. The non-white electorate in the constituency is about half of the total, and the official “white British” electorate no more than a third.

To stand in a by-election where you know that you are going to get less than 10% (or 5%) of the vote is utterly stupid, and gives the impression that you are a fringe or crank party.

Had I been the leader of any of those (conservative) “nationalist” parties, I should have boycotted the by-election and made known the reason why. In fact, that by-election is a laboratory test-tube showing why, as time goes by, there can be no serious electoral road for the (real) British people. The importation of tens of millions of non-whites has, in effect, killed not only free speech but also any (worthwhile) democracy in this country.

The main conservative-national parties standing scored only 5.9% (Reform) and 2.5% (Restore). The reason, I think, is that most of the white/English/British voted with their feet and boycotted this farce and circus of a by-election. Turnout was a fairly pitiful 38.8%, not that much more than a third of voters bothering to vote.

The Conservative Party vote was poor, about the same as in 2024 (around 7%). As recently as 2019, and previously, the Conservative vote was always in double figures in that constituency, and has been almost 30% further back in time.

Well, there it is. “Democracy” has spoken (we are told). The inhabitants of Holborn and St. Pancras now have an MP who is an ignorant Somali woman of some kind.

Cruel and unusual punishments

The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which Amendment was adopted in 1791, forbids “cruel and unusual punishments“. Like much of their Constitution, in practice it is a bad joke. Death by every slow and/or painful method: slow gassing, the electric chair (which can take 6 minutes of being, in effect, fried alive), and now the medicalization of capital punishment via the use of a series or cocktail of drugs, which sounds painless but is anything but. The latest ghastly farce in the USA just proves the point yet again.

I do not know why, if the Americans insist on retaining the death penalty, they do not simply give the convict a massive dose of morphine. I am not a medical man, but surely that would do the job quickly and painlessly? Maybe the American public, or many of them, would find that too painless and swift? Or is my medical knowledge incorrect? I cannot say for sure.

Of course, the Americans also use other punishments or methods not used in (?) other civilized states (shackling in transit etc).

I have seen a whole group of shackled prisoners in a Federal court building in the USA. All black. According to the F.B.I. agent standing with me, all murderers, and all lifers. A very sombre scene. All other people in the wide hallway stopped as the group, all handcuffed, all hobbled, all shackled in line together, passed through in total silence. As said, very sombre, and very sinister.

Speaking personally, I was always against the death penalty, and to some extent still am, but I see so many reports now in the UK of horrible murders and also rapes etc, that I think there may be a case for bringing back that penalty for some murders and other crimes, depending on the nature and quality of the defendants as well as the crimes. At least for a period of time. If so, using some quick method, possibly sometimes in public.

I notice that, in Belarus, a father who (with his equally wicked wife) starved, tortured, and finally killed his own 3-y-o son, was sentenced to death, which has been carried out in the manner prescribed by their law— Soviet-style, a bullet in the back of the head. The woman involved was sentenced to 25 years (probably without parole); apparently Belarus, like Texas long ago, never executes women.

What is more brutal, that Belorussian bullet, or what happens in the USA? Were I unfortunate enough to be in such a position, I should guess the American method(s), and so (if given the choice) might prefer the Soviet way of doing things…

I have only known one person, I think, who actually witnessed (at the scene, not on TV or online) an execution in the judicial sense. That execution was swift, consisting of a sword stroke cutting off the head in a split-second, and was carried out in public, in 1960s Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

[“A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

This is her story of giving gratitude.
A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition.
One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.

They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.

The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

As previously blogged, nothing Trump says or does can be taken at face value. His remarks and actions usually have a “shelf-life” of a day; a week at best.

Fake “socialist” scribbler and “I’m from the North-East, me..” poseur Kevin Maguire (house in Richmond-on-Thames, holiday home in Devon, affluent wife etc) is one of the worst influences on current-affairs TV. Pro-migration invasion, anti-white European race and culture.

The question is not whether migration invasion will collapse our society, but when, and what will then ensue.

Actually, that anti-white Indian tweeter is wrong too: “asylum-seekers” (migrant-invaders) are not “demonized” for failing to work, but for coming here (uninvited) and staying here (also uninvited and unwanted).

(Many, probably most, though, are parasites, and always would be).

I suspect that the latter effect will be greater over time.

The RNLI is but one of many British institutions, both governmental and non-governmental, that have been captured by the forces of decadence and treachery over the past 30 years.

[Freikorps]

Whatever one may think of Burnham and/or his announced policies, those Conservative Party rank-and-file members are really weird, with one or two exceptions, arguably (the blonde woman and the old man who distrusts “Fabianss”, though even they seem slightly “not all there”, with the blonde regarding arrogant and wrongheaded Kemi Badenoch as her great black hope). Several interviewees are non-white, and —as has been the case for many years— the young English ones are like wet-behind-the-ears geeks or nerds out of a TV sitcom, or youthful copies of Michael Gove. Utterly pathetic.

I myself think that Con Party support, presently around 17% or so, will decline to 15% or even 12% within a few years, well within the maximum range of this Parliament. The late middle-aged and elderly (both the mainstay of the Conservative vote and almost half of those that vote at all) are defecting to Reform or elsewhere. Many are dying off, too. That might leave the Con Party with only a handful of MPs next time around.

In any case, the UK should be joining, at least informally, with Russia, leaving NATO, and opening up new markets in Russia for British goods and services, as well as buying oil and gas at cost price.

They know, or fear, that Kiev’s days may be numbered.

[“Medvedev: The most important event for Russia will be victory over Western and NATO forces.

He told Iranian state television that he was referring to the forces that are using Ukraine against Russia.

He particularly emphasized that Ukraine, if it wants a political solution, must officially recognize its neutral and non-nuclear status, abandon its nationalist course, and recognize the territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, as well as the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions as Russian territories.

He also stated that Kyiv must stop the persecution of the Russian language and return to the principles outlined in the Ukrainian Declaration on Sovereignty from the 1990s.“]

Idiot. How did he ever get to such a high position?

Worth watching/listening to that. Appalling behaviour by Israeli Jew operatives (MOSSAD etc).

Israeli/Jewish influence/power in the USA (and the UK is not very much better, though at least the public is waking up at last).

The American and British taxpayers are subsidizing their own oppressors. In the UK, it becomes more blatant every year.

I doubt that anyone would vote for that dim careerist woman; anyway, the Conservative Party is probably going to lose even the seats (maybe half of them) that it has at present.

Should be taught in schools, both in the USA and UK (but of course will not be, so long as the System rules).

Of course, the money is just a way-station. Power is their objective; to rule the world via money, via the money power.

Interesting travel vlog

As before with those vloggers, there is a certain naivety. For example, they buy two baseball-type military caps with Chinese red stars, and wear them for a while. They would not wear caps with swastika emblems, nor even hammer and sickle emblems, probably.

What always strikes me about such vlogs about China is the scale of the engineering and architecture. The airports and railway stations put Europe, certainly the UK, to shame, frankly. The hotels and cafeterias as well. While I always have in the back of my mind the disregard the Chinese often seem to have for animal welfare (and, sometimes, human rights as well), it cannot be denied that China has leapt ahead in the past 20-40 years.

Another thing that struck me, but about the vlogging couple themselves, is how dependent they are on their mobile telephones. They pay for almost everything, from taxis to hotels, to railways and airline tickets, to food, even snacks such as crisps, using their telephones. One wonders where they would be were they to lose the devices, or have them stolen. Seems insecure, somehow. They even have apps or whatever to interpret for them in various languages.

Of course, I am a sceptic: I had a mobile telephone before most people, in 1993, and I had to have one when I worked as a barrister, but for the past many years have not had one, and do not really need one (I hope). My car has an emergency help facility built in, if I were to break down (unlikely) or have a crash. Have never had to test that out though; hopefully, it works…

Taiwan looks almost deserted in that vlog, despite having 23M people in a country half the size of Scotland. I suppose the main populations live in or around Taipei, in the north. The vloggers are in the west, having arrived from mainland China on a small ferry.

Ah, I see now that I mistook where they were, not on the main island of Taiwan at all, but on Kinmen Island, a very small part of Taiwan that is only about 2 miles from mainland China.

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

Interesting that the mainland Chinese have not invaded that small island. They must be following the maxim of Sun Tzu, “to win without war…this is the supreme excellence“. A saying we in Europe might ponder. There is no overt Chinese aggression towards Europe, but we do see increasing numbers of Chinese living in parts of Europe, not least the UK. Millions of them.

I believe that border areas of Russia, in the (once Chinese) far-eastern parts known from the 1930s to the early 1990s as the Soviet Far East, have seen seepage of Chinese (farmers, traders etc) coming to live there.

Another vlog from the same couple

As with their previous vlog posts about Iran, interesting to see aspects of everyday life there not usually seen on the UK/Western mass media.

All such rioters should be executed in the field, as soon as seen and designated.

So people earning £100,000+ per year are in need of State-subsidized childcare? The Nigerian idiot is even more of an idiot than I had previously thought. £100,000 p.a. (pre-tax) is scarcely a fortune, but it is still 2x-3x what most people are paid in the UK, and 8x-10x what many have to live on.

Also, the lady tweeter is right. The nexus “work hard/high pay” is not at all as firm as many believe.

Kemi Badenoch thinks that all the unemployed are “feckless drunks“. She was caught saying it. Not only very arrogant and dismissive, but actually wrong. Only a small minority are feckless drunks.

I think that you can see there the Nigerian woman’s background coming out. She, after all, is not English and, except that she has a British passport because her parents came to have her born in London so that she could later get a Brit passport (as the law was until 1982), is not in any real sense British. She was brought up in Nigeria and then the USA. She only came here as a teenager of 16-17. Her attitudes are basically pseudo-“libertarian” American, not British or indeed European.

Saturday quiz

Well, my 5/10 this week once again trumped the 4/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I knew the answers to questions 1, 3, 4, 8, and 9.

Trump might do anything. One cannot predict it, because he is the personification of random unpredictability.

Europe slides ever-faster down the slope of utter decadence.

Would not be surprised to find that the Israelis, in conjunction with the Jewish lobby in Argentina, are behind this.

So who is in favour?

[“On this day two years ago. Don’t say @s_m_marandi didn’t warn you.

“If the United States gets involved, have no doubt, the US will be swept out of Iraq by the resistance and all its assets in the Persian Gulf will be destroyed. All these regimes with US bases will be destroyed and the oil and gas markets will cause a situation where the global economy will collapse, so be careful about making stupid mistakes.”]

Marandi is an Iranian academic.

Whatever you give “them”, (((they))) will complain, demand more, and turn on you in the end. Not just “Israel” and nominal Israelis, but also the type as a whole. Look at the behaviour of Zelensky.

Burnham is even a member of Labour Friends of Israel, just like Starmer-stein.

Israel— a rogue state, which has a very wealthy and influential “fifth column” in this country (as in some others).

Whatever the arguments, the fact is that pensioners will be worse-off under Labour after 2030 (when Burnham says the Triple Lock will go) and, quite possibly, before then. Result? 99% of pensioners (a third of the electorate, and maybe as much as 50% of the actually-voting electorate) will not be voting Labour. Largely but not just because of the Triple Lock being dumped. It is the whole direction of travel.

Late tweets

That funny woman tweeter is obsessed with, inter alia, cutting off Triple Lock money going to pensioners. Yes, only 12% of people of 65+ years vote Labour. That will now shrink to about 1%-2%, I expect. That means that 98% of those 65+ will vote somewhere other than Labour. Probably Reform, most of them.

The point, though, previously also made on the blog, is that people aged 65+ mostly actually vote. The other age-groups vote in far smaller numbers, proportionately.

The 65+ age group is about a third of the electorate, and must be at least 40% of those that actually turn out to vote (or vote via postal ballot). Maybe even 50%

Labour will therefore not be getting the votes of anything up to 50% of the total of those (of all ages) that vote, even before taking into consideration the votes of the <65 age groups.

Burnham-Labour has already alienated the under-24 age group by the recently-announced benefit cuts and changes.

Anything can happen in politics, but it would take a near-miracle for Labour to get to 35% of the poll, and that is surely their minimum if they want to be sure of a Commons majority.

That latest poll translates to a Commons with about 342 Labour MPs (so a majority of seats), 155 Reform (official Opposition), 55 Cons, 51 LibDems, and 20 SNP [etc].

Uncertain now how accurate such predictions are. Restore may only be getting 3% of the opinion poll votes, but that is enough to badly damage Reform in marginal seats. As to Labour, I doubt whether its present relative popularity will continue, but there is no doubt that many of Burnham’s recently-announced policies are quite popular:

I myself agree with all but three of the policies listed there.

My feeling right now is that Reform, though so disappointing (pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, pro-finance-capitalism and —in some respects— globalism, is still the main game in town in terms of at least pseudo-national populism. I can see many more presently Conservative votes going to Reform.

If I am right, and the Con vote reduces to, say 12% by 2028/2029, and the Reform vote rises to, say, 30%, then the post-election picture would be very different: that would give Labour maybe 265 MPs (far short of a majority), and Reform would have more MPs than Lab, 281. The LibDems would be on 53, the SNP 23, Greens 3 and the Con Party only 2. Near-wipeout. That would effectively finish off the Con Party.

As to government, Reform would be unable to form even a workable minority government despite having a plurality of MPs, but Labour would just about be able to function as a minority government with LibDem and SNP [etc] support.

I agree with that lady tweeter on that subject. For many years I broadly supported foxhunting as a colourful historical spectacle with long roots in England, but for many years now I have strongly opposed it (and most other field sports) by reason of my love for animals and, in minor key, also my dislike of, or distaste for, all foxhunters that I have ever met (at least as an adult).

[me aged about 2 (?…I am hopeless at judging ages), late 1950s, happily standing amid the foxhounds somewhere in Berkshire]

I have to say that the bridge attacks are a brilliant tactical move by the Russian side.

Kiev is on both sides of the Dnieper, but the more important part of the city is on the western or right bank.

Late muse

I happened to see a travel show presented by an American of whom I had not previously heard, one Stanley Tucci [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Tucci]. Apparently a well-known film-maker and actor (well, I cannot know everything…). A New Yorker whose grandparents or great-grandparents emigrated from Calabria to America before the Second World War or, possibly, before the First World War.

It seems that the show was made in 2021, so 5+ years ago.

The programme showed him in Tuscany, then in Sicily. Mostly about the Italian regional cuisine(s). Not terribly dull, though hardly riveting, but of course this is an area covered many times in similar vein (think Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver, and many others).

When in Sicily, this Tucci expressed the view that immigration improves any society! Very wrongheaded. What many now call a “luxury belief” held by those (usually the affluent) who prefer not to see the downsides of mass immigration from backward parts of the world such as black Africa, North Africa etc.

Even without having to hear his wrongheaded views about the migration-invasion of Italy, I have to say that I found the aforesaid Tucci not someone to whom I warmed. He lacked the charm of some similar TV tourists.

Never mind. It filled an empty hour.

The “traveller” disease

https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/26581543.two-donkeys-drugs-counterfeit-cash-seized-selby-area

“Two donkeys, Class A drugs and counterfeit cash have been seized as part of a major police operation in North Yorkshire.

Police carried out an animal welfare warrant alongside the RSPCA, North Yorkshire Council and Trading Standards, where two donkeys were seized over concerns about unnecessary suffering.

The donkeys were found among other animals, and the site was also issued a number of animal welfare notices.

North Yorkshire Police said: “Officers and partners also identified suspected illegal puppy breeding, which is now subject to further investigation and enforcement activity.”

In Selby, officers executed a drugs warrant where a quantity of Class A drugs and counterfeit cash were found.

One person was arrested as part of this investigation, police confirmed.

Meanwhile, officers working with the DVSA filed 14 Traffic Offence Reports in Escrick – one of which involved a vehicle being seized for being driven with no tax and another seized for no insurance.”

[York Press]

The words “traveller”, or “Irish tinker” are nowhere to be seen in that news report. Self-censorship.

The huge nuisance of the so-called “travellers” has to be addressed as a matter of urgency once Britain has a real government, one that cares about the British people, the environment, animals, and birds.

One —yes, admittedly, very unpleasant— day, and the whole problem would be solved forever.

Russia now has about 2 years in which to conquer and hold (at least) the whole of Eastern Ukraine. Attrition alone cannot do it in the time available.

Images not clear enough to make a definite judgment.

The bigger issue, of course, is whether the UK should be hosting or facilitating American air operations at all. I say not.

The “Socialist Worker” mob, the ever-present and inevitable “Socialist Worker” mob. I can recall them (at least, their nominal forbears in political stupidity) as long ago as 1975, when I was 18. I am now 70.

Complete idiots. The political equivalent of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Noisy irrelevances.

I believe that the Socialist Worker Party was started and led at first by a Jew called Ygael Gluckstein, who used the Anglicized nom de guerre “Tony Cliff”. According to Wikipedia, it now has a notional membership of 6,000, of which the core membership is about 2,000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK). I believe that the membership was at one time (1970s) rather higher in number.

The “SWP”, as mentioned, has been a fringe or crank party for about 76 years, under a few names (as “SWP” since 1977). You would think that, after 76 years, its adherents would by now understand that they are going nowhere. I suppose that, as implied, the members are not the most intelligent or mentally balanced in the political realm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK)

I see now from Wikipedia that Gluckstein/”Cliff” went up the chimney in 2000, and that others are now in charge of the splintered SWP.

The most recent “leader” of the SWP seems to have been “Comrade Delta”, aka one Martin Smith, who however was removed after he allegedly committed rape and sexual assault against members. The other “leader” noted by Wikipedia is one Alex Callinicos, of partly (Southern African) Greek origin, and who is now 76: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Callinicos. Surprisingly, Callinicos is descended from (is the grandson of) the famous Lord Acton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dalberg-Acton,_1st_Baron_Acton.

In the manner of, as already noted, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, or Salvation Army bands at Christmas-time, the SWP’s presence (being noisy and objectionable) at by-elections seems to be unavoidable.

Incidentally, but interestingly, the Callinicos person is related, via his grandfather Lord Acton, to the Austro-German (though also part-Jew) nationalist Count Arco auf Valley [1897-1945] who assassinated the Jew Kurt Eisner, the revolutionary socialist who became President of the short-lived People’s State of Bavaria (November 1918-February 1919).

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

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

Looking at a longer version of that clip, it seemed to me that the political cretins of the SWP today are in every respect indistinguishable from those of several decades ago. They look the same, have the same or virtually the same placards, shout out the same tired “antifascist”/”antiracist” slogans. Nothing has changed…except the whole world and society around them. They should be in a museum (perhaps with the advances in robotics and AI, they eventually will be).

Ha ha! Deport Tugendhat to his beloved Israel. He has relatives there…

More seriously, the “Conservative” Party must be getting really desperate now. Latest poll had them on 17%, and personally I should not be surprised if they get only 15%, maybe even as low as 10%, should the next general election only be held in 2028 or 2029.

Much more difficult in a relatively small and crowded country such as Britain. Still, on the right road, I think. I have blogged a bit about “prepping” in the British/European context (as distinct from North America, Australasia etc). Use the search box on the blog.

Starmer-stein’s mandate, as Prime Minister, was very doubtful: in 2024, in rough terms, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not actually vote, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Con, 2 voted Reform, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. Labour was voted for by 4 out of 20 eligible voters (4 out of 12 actually-voting voters).

Burnham has merely inherited Starmer-stein’s purple (via the equivalent of a palace revoilution) and, naturally (in political reality, if not in strict British Constitutional terms), has far less of a mandate than Starmer-stein. He has no programme beyond that of trying to please as many likely or potential voters as possible. He is totally out of his depth in every way.

Salutary tale

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16154307/Swedish-Piddington-BANNED-migrants-13-years-1988-Sjobo-shocked-Europe-controversial-referendum-Nearly-40-years-later-wish-ban-voted-never-lifted.html

“It is a familiar political story in a place that became infamous almost 40 years ago, when many of its residents voted to reject the arrival of refugees, in a referendum that sent shockwaves across Sweden and Europe.

In 1987, Sweden adopted a new strategy to distribute refugees more evenly across the country, and asked Sjobo, then a town of around 15,400, to take in around 15 people.

‘Anyone can understand that the next generation of Swedes will no longer be blonde and blue-eyed,’ Sven-Olle Olsson, a municipal councillor who was vehemently opposed, said at the time. He organised a referendum on the issue.

The ‘No’ side won the referendum with almost 68 per cent of votes, triggering a political storm in the country.

There are parallels to be drawn from the case in the recent ‘independence’ referendum held in the British village of Piddington in a symbolic protest against plans to accommodate 1,250 asylum seekers in a nearby military site.

Things have changed ‘enormously’ in Sjobo since 1988, according to Ms Ramel, now a municipal councillor herself who is trying to change Sjobo’s image.

She said the municipality now fulfils its requirements by welcoming new arrivals, even taking in more than some other towns in the region.

The anti-migration Sweden Democrats emerged from the election as Sweden’s third-largest party, after winning 62 seats in the 349-member parliament. 

The party won 43 per cent of votes in Sjobo in the 2022 general election, still enjoying strong support in the southern town known for its contentious September 1988 referendum.

That support remained strong in this month’s election, with the Sweden Democrats taking more than a third of the vote in several of Sjobo’s polling districts.

The party won 38.8 per cent in Sjobo Linne, 33.8 per cent in Sjobo Emanuel and 36.1 per cent in Sjobo Farsinga in the parliamentary election.

‘In the end, Sjobo residents were right, if you want to put it that way,’ 89-year-old Bengt Lundgren, who voted for the Sweden Democrats in the recent election, said with a broad grin.

Sweden struggles to integrate its immigrants.

Around 20 per cent of its population is born abroad, according to 2025 data from Statistics Sweden.

The Oxfordshire village of Piddington held its own unofficial referendum over migration on September 16. 

Some 285 of the 312 residents who voted backed a symbolic declaration of independence from Britain, in protest at plans to house 1,200 asylum seekers at a former military base nearby.

The vote had no legal force, but campaigners hope the gesture will send a message to Westminster over the proposed asylum accommodation at the former Ministry of Defence site at Bicester.“

As far as I am concerned, if the Swedes become no longer really Swedish at all, there is no reason for that country to exist. Same goes, mutatis mutandis, for this country. See also:

As previously blogged, in purely careerist terms, Shabana Mahmood has “played a blinder”: a Pakistani woman whose only legal work background was a 1-year Bar pupillage, followed by a year or two as a “gopher” in a provincial firm of solicitors, gets into the old MP racket and is made “Lord Chancellor” and then Home Secretary! You couldn’t make it up! Now she invites thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, from some of the most backward parts of the world, arguably, to come and live as total parasites off the backs of the British people.

Britain, better said many of the British, seem to have a death wish. Would I be made a Cabinet minister, or even an MP, in Pakistan? I think not (yes, I know that the Mahmood woman was born in Birmingham. Do you really think that makes any significant difference?).

Completely wrong, and politically explosive. The Triple Lock is not “unaffordable“. Stop throwing billions away on “Ukraine” (Zelensky’s dictatorship), on the housing, feeding, and otherwise funding of the now millions of black/brown migrant-invaders; the same goes for other huge wastes of money (Britain just gave £650M to Angola, a country completely unconnected to Britain or its history, so that the corrupt and totally useless Angolans can improve their airport. That is only one of hundreds of examples).

I declare an interest. I myself do benefit, marginally, from the Triple Lock. My State Pension (only about half of the full rate, by reason mainly of my time overseas) does increase by a slightly larger amount by reason of the Triple Lock. We are talking about a few pounds, if that, per week…

Any political party, whatever the reason or excuse, binning the Triple Lock can consider itself binned forever by any voters aged, say, 55+ (pensioners and those who hurtle towards State Pension age).

The idea of a State social care service that works is a good one, albeit one that has been obvious, and the service obviously needed, for many years. It has to be paid for, and there have to be enough employees to operate it. So how will it be paid for, and from where will come the huge number of employees needed?

A corrupt, shambolic, thug-regime.

If the City of London falls away, the UK economy, as it now is, will nosedive.

I do not like to advise young people, say 18-30, to abandon this country, but I should certainly say (as have Nick Griffin and others) that they should at least leave London and the other larger conurbations (which are in any case becoming —or have already become— non-white). I can understand why so many are seeking other locations in the world, especially in the Anglosphere, for medium to long-term residence.

Russia should continue to destroy the tax base of the Ukrainian economy, thereby increasing the cost of the war for Europe, so that Europeans can consider whether they can afford to find an additional 30-40 billion at a time when opposition is growing in EU countries.

There is no guaranteed funding for Kyiv for the next year. If it becomes clear that Ukraine cannot last even a year, the question will be raised in the EU: why did we need all of this?“]

Britain could have cost-price oil and gas.

Leave NATO, close down U.S. bases (under RAF or other flag), and stop giving arms, ammunition, money, and other help to the corrupt Kiev regime. In return, cheap gas, cheap oil, and a guaranteed huge market in Russia for British goods and services.

Its purpose is to ensure the transmission of retaliatory orders, even after a massive attack on Russia.

“Wars and rumours of wars“, to quote Revelation. There is certainly a good deal of chatter around. More seriously, i.e. in terms of actual events, the dial is being turned up in various ways: the situation in both the Persian/Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea; the intensification in and around Ukraine/Russia; the North Polar region (noting the new U.S. bases about to be constructed in Greenland); the uncertainty around the AI technology and the robotics technology (both in itself and around its possible economic and social effects); the continuing mass migration invasion of Europe; the increasing political instability in Europe.

Can our society, especially the parts of it with far too much money and far too little culture or any sense of aesthetics, get more decadent? God knows.

[“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?“]

After the fall of the Kiev regime, Zelensky must be brought to Russia for trial. If that should prove impossible, he should be eliminated in the field.

Our animal friends.

I examined Macron’s very peculiar background on the blog 7 years ago, in 2019: see

[“Lavrov: Ukraine no longer exists – it has abandoned all the principles for which we recognized it as a state.

“THE KYIV REGIME HAS ERASED THE LEGAL FOUNDATIONS ON WHICH MOSCOW RECOGNIZED UKRAINE.”

Sergey LAVROV: “Russia will not pause its special operation during the peace process in Ukraine. If Vladimir Zelensky wants a meeting, let him come to Moscow. That is already a significant gesture of goodwill on our part. Because he has not yet canceled his decree banning negotiations.”

Russia recognized Ukraine at the time of the collapse of the USSR based on its Declaration of Independence from 1990. In that document, the Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian parliament) pledged that the country would be non-nuclear, neutral, and non-aligned. The Kyiv regime is currently ignoring all three of these fundamental commitments, effectively nullifying the old agreements between the countries.“]

Ukraine has never really been a state. In its past 35 years of nominal statehood, it has always been a fake state and/or failed state. Now, it exists purely by reason of Western resupply of arms, ammunition, and money. Take those away, and it falls within a month, possibly within a week.

Israeli Jew war criminal. It would be wonderful if a missile landed on him and his evil tribe.

Britain should be cultivating better relations with Russia and, as one result, getting cheap gas and maybe also oil from Russia, as well as a huge market for British goods and services.

Stop poking the Bear…

Interesting and possibly significant.

That bastard Sikorski again. Married to the Jewish writer Anne Applebaum. A dyed-in-the-wool ZOG/NWO puppet.

I think that his character is shown in his features.

Reform’s biggest and best point has nothing to do with Reform itself but with the hatred and contempt felt nationwide against LibLabCon.

Britische Freikorps.

Get the bastard up against a wall. Wall. Squad. End.

To me, that shows mainly that “Who-He?” Burnham has no very interesting ideas or policies, is seen as boring (even if less offensive than Starmer-stein) and is also seen as merely a “continuity Labour-label” and (in real political terms) unmandated Prime Minister, a Prime Minister in name only.

As to Owen Jones, the now-affluent “licensed Bolshevik” pseudo-revolutionary, I assessed him on the blog many years ago: see

Fairly interesting vlog post about North Korea (mainly Pyongyang)

A near-autarky in a fairly small country (smaller than England, one-and-a-half times the size of Scotland) is hard to implement successfully. Then of course there is the lack of personal freedom aspect.

I was struck by the depth of the Pyongyang metro system, at over 300 ft deep about 3 or 4 times, or more, the depth of most of the London Underground (the deepest London station is Hampstead, just under 200 ft deep).

Presumably, the Pyongyang metro is also meant to be a mass bomb shelter.

…and one about Japan

A different perspective than the usual.

Not something I myself support as such but, on the other hand, such a result would weaken the grip of “the usual suspects” (((them))), and also make Britain’s membership of NATO untenable. Swings and roundabouts.

Those smaller units (Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) are not really economically viable as states (once what amounts to English subsidy is withdrawn), but could nonetheless become states politically; their populations would, however, have to accept radically lower living standards forever as a result.

England would become far better off economically, especially once the population becomes fully or almost-fully European.

It is absurd to the point of ludicrousness that that uncultured, uneducated, really rather dim “chavscum” woman, with her “vapes”, tattoos etc, should be a member of a British Cabinet. I myself find it almost unbelievable, even taking into account how decadent and washed-up this country now is.

Critcizes Farage and Reform etc, yet her own party, fake “Labour”, has taken money from every kind of sleazy moneybags, not to mention having been tied up, via Mandelson, with Epstein and other criminal Jews.

Angela Rayner herself was, not very long ago, shovelling into her handbag bribe-monies for clothes, trips here and there, even entry to louche vulgar nightclubs in Ibiza.

Another idiot, someone who wants to lead (from the rear?) as the tiny army, navy, and air force of the UK take on the might —and it is still might— of Russia (and China?), Russia alone having anything up to 7,000 nuclear weapons, including some that cannot be intercepted, and which could reduce London and indeed South Shropshire (his own constituency) to a charred irradiated ruin within something like half an hour.

Anderson at least has military experience (for 9 years aged 16-25, i.e. 1992- 2001), but only at private-soldier level (apparently, he also has a diploma, more recently earned, in Defence Studies, from some institute or other).

I notice that he is a (former) alcoholic, has struggled with mental health in the past, and is a member of some cranky evangelical sect, more or less a cult: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Church.

Also noticed, that Anderson has been both a failed businessman and a bit of an expenses blodger: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Anderson_(politician).

Anderson will probably not be an MP after the next general election. Last time, in 2024, his vote-share was 34.1%, the LibDem received 31%, and the Reform candidate 17.8%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Shropshire_(constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Not entirely seriously, perhaps he should form his own volunteer regiment, with himself as colonel of that regiment, Kemi Badenoch as honorary colonel-in-chief, and a rank-and-file consisting of South Shropshire pensioners (Conservative Party voters). The cap badge could be a (charred and irradiated) golly on a stick.

Excellent. Excellent.

If both USA and EU stop funding that terrible war —and the rest of the EU would have to follow suit if Germany pulls back— then the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev will collapse for sure, and rather rapidly.

Shove Ursula von der Leyen onto her broomstick and kick her into orbit (or obit).

Devil’s alternative: if Burnham goes to the people this year, Labour will lose, probably, 100-150 MPs, maybe more, but if he waits until 2029, barring some very unlikely uptick, Labour might lose 200, or even more.

[“Look at Dan Hodges and former columnist David Aaronovitch. They want you to think that even discussing demographic change in Britain’s schools is “racist”. They are completely out of touch. Imagine going to Japan and saying the native Japanese will soon be a minority but if you talk about it you’re racist. We are allowed to discuss what is happening in our own country, in our home. And I for one will never stop speaking up for the silent majority. That might be why so many people read our newsletter. Because they want the truth. They can see much of the commentariat is a joke.”]

For me, it is, as already said, ludicrous that some uneducated, uncultured, dishonest, freeloading “chavscum” woman should even be an MP, let alone in Cabinet. Still, that’s where we are now, ruled over by absolute trash.

The woman is basically a brainless bimbo.

Similar in uselessness. A Nigerian woman who is only here because her parents deliberately had her born here so that, under the law as it was in 1981, she would later have the “right” to have a British passport.

Both Lab and Con are treacherous and pointless, as well as both being puppets of (((the usual suspects))).
