Well, a modest 4/10 this week, though still more than John Rentoul’s 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 4, 5, 8, and 9. Rather hit the post, as people say, on question 1. Had never heard of it, and guessed —wrongly— Red Leicester.

It is not even a question of young men (and, in these days, in theory, women) “fighting for Britain“. More accurately, fighting for the New World Order (NWO) and Zionist Occupation Government (ZOG) cabals. Not for Britain. Not the British people. Not the future of the British people.

A halal slaughter is a horrifically cruel and painful way for an animal to die – that brutal suffering is simply not justified.
Animal welfare must overrule halal slaughter.
In my view, as a farmer, animals must be slaughtered as humanely as possible, without unnecessary pain.

Don’t forget the similar, and similarly cruel, Jewish kosher slaughter.
Greece just banned barbaric Halal meat butchering, ruling that religious slaughter doesn’t override animal welfare laws. The UK should follow suit ASAP. Shame on us all that the UK is still allowing this brutality of animals.

(incidentally, if any readers are perplexed by the introductory reference to “the brave Kazakh soldiers” and “their home in the sunny Ukraine“, that does not refer to Kazakhs from Kazakhstan but to Cossacks. In Russian, both are spelled kazakhi, but they are not related ethnically, the Cossacks being Russian/Ukrainians based along the rivers of southern Russia and Ukraine, mainly, the Don Cossacks being, maybe, the most famous).
[“Three people that really grind on me. 1. Two-Tier Keir, the hypocrite, claims Brits enjoy free speech—yet the second we speak out, we’re in cuffs. 2.

Angela Rayner, claims there is plenty of housing for people, but continues to give said housing to immigrants while our people struggle on the street.”]

We reiterate that the civilians of Gaza who have suffered so much must be allowed to return to their homes and rebuild their lives.“]

The Israeli Jews know that they will not face serious repercussions from the UK, France, and Germany, because the Jew-Zionist lobby has a stranglehold over the political, legal, and mass media milieux in at least the UK and France.
[“GOVERNMENT ADVISOR WARNS: UK ON THE BRINK OF CIVIL WAR!
The United Kingdom is “explosively configured” for mass unrest. That’s the chilling warning from Professor David Betz, a top government advisor and security expert. He’s not some fringe conspiracy theorist—he’s a trusted advisor to the UK Ministry of Defence and GCHQ. And he’s sounding the alarm: Britain is heading toward a breaking point.
What’s fueling the chaos? Mass immigration, collapsing legitimacy, and a government unable—or unwilling—to defend its own borders. The people feel betrayed, and Betz warns that if things don’t change, civil conflict could erupt within five years.
WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS, HISTORY SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
WHAT THIS MEANS:
Social order is eroding, and the government has NO plan to control the fallout.
Warnings of civil war are coming from insiders—not just commentators.
Even Elon Musk is now saying “civil war is inevitable” in the UK.
HAVE THE GLOBALISTS PUSHED BRITAIN TOO FAR?

“Plans to give staff the right to ignore bosses’ messages outside of working hours are set to be dropped by the government this week.
The proposal to grant workers a ‘right to switch off’ formed a central part of Sir Keir Starmer‘s manifesto vow to establish a ‘new deal for working people’.
But the policy will be scrapped to reduce the impact on businesses that are preparing for tax increases starting next month as a result of Rachel Reeves’s Budget last autumn.
Labour had vowed to copy countries such as Belgium, Ireland, and France which allow workers to avoid emails, texts and phone calls received out of hours, without fear of reprisals.
They wanted to introduce the policy following the surge in home-working to prevent Brits’ homes becoming ’24/7 offices’.
However, on Tuesday ministers will confirm that the policy has been dropped from the Employment Rights Bill when they table a series of amendments.“
[Daily Mail]
So one of the very few Labour pre-General Election 2024 “pledges” that might actually have helped British people has now been scrapped.
Meanwhile, stupid Starmer is throwing billions of taxpayer money at both “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) and the continuing migration-invasion of the UK.
[“No, wait! I voted Labour in 2024!“]
A “lost” book review or two found
Round about 2010-2011, some Jews, and one in particular, pressured Amazon or its employees to remove my book reviews. At the time, I was a voted-for “top reviewer” (I think, “top 40”, or maybe 50). The Jew (an “IT” worker, whose name and location — now in Ra’anana, Israel— I know) managed to get me barred from reviewing on both Amazon UK and Amazon USA (so much for American “free speech”).
All my reviews, about 700, were removed. Incidentally, 90% of them did not mention Jews, Zionism, or Israel, or indeed the “holocaust” farrago.
However, some were backed-up elsewhere. I have just found some. Here are a couple:
“One picture is worth a thousand words, in the well-worn phrase. For me, one personal account is worth any number of accounts written by people decades later and purporting to be “true stories”. The same goes for histories of a time in which the historian has not lived. This is why history is a moveable feast.
In this book, the author (at time of publication still living prosperously in Switzerland) is a Jewish teenage boy whose parents had emigrated from the Ukraine after the Revolution. His father started a mineral water plant in Berlin. With the coming of Hitler,the NSDAP and the Third Reich, trading and living conditions became gradually more difficult for Jews in the Reich, though most remained.
The book (in an Afterword) gives statistics about Jewish emigration from Germany in the 1930s, which show that in the early and mid 1930s the exodus was in the region of, initially, a few tens of thousands per year, that despite the fact that the Reich government encouraged Jews to emigrate (but required most of their property or gains to be left behind).
The author was, in 1941, in a countryside “camp” (actually, in a normal building) run by a Jewish organization under supervision of the Reich authorities. The “camp” was in fact composed of young Jewish persons who were expected to do a bit of grasscutting, treefelling etc. He was not under guard and in fact wandered around the country observing this and that. Though once arrested, he spent only one night in custody before being sent back to his temporary home.
The author wanted to be a graphic designer and in fact even in 1941 had been enrolled in an art school reserved for Jews in Berlin.
The above facts seem unremarkable, yet one has to remember that, today, most people in the UK, USA etc, if they think about the point at all, would think that either when Hitler took power (1933) or at least when war broke out ((1939) such a person would be hunted down and placed in a real camp; but no! Here we are in 1941 and the author himself,a Jew and, it seems, a Zionist, at that, tells a different and to my mind wholly credible story.
However, the situation of the author became much worse in 1942. His father was arrested, it seems for something to do with black market butter. There were plans afoot for Jews to be deported to the East: Britain and France, among other countries (Switzerland, USA) had been unwilling to accept the bulk of Jewish deportees from the Reich throughout the 1930s and the idea of sending the Jewish population to either Palestine or Madagascar had been blocked by the colonial powers (the British Empire and France). The book tells of how the initial mustering of the Jewish population in Berlin was done without guards, without Gestapo, without SS, by Jewish officials appointed by the Jewish/Zionist authorities.
The author lived for a while as an “exempted” worker in a factory but then decided he had to take the plunge and live illegally. He was helped by his facility in forging passes and letters and by the fact that he did not look particularly Semitic. He even went beyond survival and started to forge documents for an anti-Hitler group which included some well-connected persons who were part-Jews allowed to live relatively unmolested in large villas around the capital and elsewhere.
Finally, in 1943, the author made his bid for freedom, using his non-Jewish looks, forged passes and other documents and a bicycle (Jews were, at least notionally, forbidden to own them) to get to that part of Germany which abuts Switzerland. He escaped across a stream and was, after a couple of days, given not only asylum but a grant on which he might lived while studying.
The author makes no claims to sainthood and indeed few to victimhood, but just tells his own story honestly (I think) and clearly.
Well worth reading.“
[Title of book reviewed now unknown to me]
Another book review
“Anarchism is a very wide church, ranging from the philosophic and spiritual to the downright criminal. The high-minded anarchism comes largely from (Prince) Kropotkin, whose 19th Century opposition to Tsarism resulted in exile in London (he was a Governor of the Bromley Girls’ High School, still a leading fee-paying college) and in several books, of which Fields Factories and Workshops Tomorrow, and Mutual Aid, are the best known (he opposed social Darwinism by preferring social symbiosis, having observed the latter in the animal and plant worlds). The more criminal stream came from almost mindlessly angry bombers like Bakunin. I have to say that while Christie shows elements of both in his psychology, he is nearer to the latter, as he implies in this book.
Christie details his attempt, as a young fool (which I think he would admit!) to kill Franco in 1964, smuggling explosives in his kilt from France. Carry On Up The Caudillo! In the end the efficient Spanish security service obviously had a traitor in the anarchist ranks; Christie was arrested and could have been garrotted under the cruel Spanish death penalty regime of the time. In the end he was sentenced to 12 years and spent about three years in custody. I was interested to see that (comparing his account with those of people in British prisons of the time) he was in fact treated better under the Fascist “regime” (government) than he would have been in the UK. I was also interested to read how he realized in prison that people of a very different political stamp (ex-SS, OAS members etc) were people whom he could like and respect.
What I like about Christie is his honesty. It is palpable. And I think that overall he is a decent person. I liked his distaste for bullfighting. He could not understand how his anarchistic “comrades” in prison enjoyed it. He is blind to obvious racial-cultural differences in the world. His faults? Well, naivety, firstly. Even in the 1970’s, he seems to have believed that the population of the UK were thirsting for a revolutionary change, whereas in fact they all (well, mostly) either voted for stodgy Labourism or for Mrs Thatcher! I used to occasionally read his Black Flag newspaper circa 1976 and must have been one of a very small reading public for him! He seems to have been (and is still in this book) obsessed with the supposed evils of Franco, but ignores a few facts: the Republicans in the Civil War (Communists and Anarchists etc) killed, tortured and raped to a far worse extent than Franco’s Nationalists; after the Civil War ended in 1939, Franco erected a monument to ALL the fallen; Franco released most of the imprisoned enemies after a few years (Christie admits this aspect); Franco managed to keep Spain out of WW2 (though a Fascist, he was half-Jewish and more or less stabbed his benefactor, Hitler, in the back by failing to join with the Axis. And had Christie (even in post-WW2 Red Clydeside) never heard of Stalin and the Soviet labour camps etc?
Christie strikes me as a kind of fairly simple-minded fellow, who in Cromwellian days would have been a Leveller or something similar. Under other circumstances one could even see him as, perhaps, a Jehovah’s Witness or the like.
Incidentally, both Wikipedia, and Christie’s Guardian obit, say that he was sentenced to 20 years in Spain (Wikipedia probably simply copying the newspaper version). I am pretty sure it was 12, not 20. Still, no matter now. Franco released him after about 3 years, after Christie’s mother wrote to Franco requesting clemency.
I occasionally read Christie’s newspaper, Black Flag, among many and various other journals, when I was a 19-y-o living in London in 1976.
Despite Christie’s pitifully-poor level of socio-political understanding, his was a name with which to conjure in 1976. I recall meeting a small group of anarchists, 3 or 4, in a pub in Maidenhead (no less!) that year, and his name was uttered by them with a mixture of awe and slight trepidation (because he was thought to attract the attention of the police).
Ha ha! Julia Hartley-Brewer is a complete idiot politically and, I suspect, generally. An ignorant radio loudmouth.
I always thought Boris Johnson’s am-dram portrayal of “Churchill reborn” ludicrous, and referred to it on the blog as, in the sense of Marx’s famous dictum (from The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon), “First time tragedy, second time farce“, but STARMER?! Ha ha!
Were I to say what I think should happen to Starmer and his cabal, I expect I should have the toytown police and poundland Stasi at my door (again), and that is just too boring, so I shall let my dear readers read between the lines, as happens in every police state.

The UK has, officially, about 70,000 men (and women, who are about 10% of the whole) in its army, but only about 5,000-10,000 truly ready to be deployed anywhere where they (may) have to fight. Germany is little better off, if at all. France has, officially, about 118,000 soldiers but only a minority are fighting troops (including the Foreign Legion).
Even if UK, France, Germany were to deploy a total of, say, 50,000 to Ukraine, that would only slow, not stop, Russian advances, would eventually kill most of the troops so deployed, and might lead to an actual war between Russia and western Europe, which Russia could not lose, were it to go nuclear (and with the USA standing back from the fight).

Wilson was the successful claimant in the 2024 libel trial of Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor. Newbon, an unpleasant social media troll, killed himself during the litigation, while Cantor will probably now lose his family home by reason of the negligence and dishonesty of “Mark Lewis Lawyer”.
I wonder whether Lewis has scuttled away (again) to Israel, no doubt complaining (again) about British “antisemitism”…
I am still seeing a few drunken Westminster Bubblers tweeting about how the only “solution” is for “Ukraine” (Kiev-regime Ukraine) to “be in NATO“.
Utterly asinine. Ukraine cannot join NATO for both formal and Realpolitik reasons.
Formal reasons (under the provisions of the NATO Treaty) include the fact that Ukraine itself claims that part of its territory has been invaded and is under foreign occupation; also, that a war (albeit never formally declared) currently exists between Ukraine and a foreign state. Also, because acceptance of a state into the NATO alliance requires unanimous approval of existing member-states.
The USA will never accept Ukraine into NATO, not so long as Trump is President; neither did Biden green-light the Kiev-regime’s repeated requests. A number of other states will also blackball Ukraine— Hungary for one, probably Italy, possibly Germany; maybe others too.
As to the Realpolitik reasons why Ukraine cannot join NATO, avoidance of war between NATO and Russia is the main one; also, the fact that, to date, Russia is winning the war that already exists.

The Heart that battled here The Heart that bled Has conquered Death And made Man’s peace with Heaven [Friedrich Nietzsche..early poem on Easter]
“George Buchanan (Scottish Gaelic: Seòras Bochanan; February 1506 – 28 September 1582) was a Scottish historian and humanist scholar. According to historian Keith Brown, Buchanan was “the most profound intellectual sixteenth century Scotland produced.” His ideology of resistance to royal usurpation gained widespread acceptance during the Scottish Reformation. Brown says the ease with which King James VII was deposed in 1689 shows the power of Buchananite ideas.[1]
His treatise De Jure Regni apud Scotos, published in 1579, discussed the doctrine that the source of all political power is the people, and that the king is bound by those conditions under which the supreme power was first committed to his hands, and that it is lawful to resist, even to punish, tyrants. The importance of Buchanan’s writings is shown by the suppression of his work by James VI and the British legislatures in the century following their publication. It was condemned by act of parliament in 1584, and burned by the University of Oxford in 1664 and 1683.[2]“

Trump, of course, as an American businessman, a businessman involved with real estate in, inter alia, New York City, at that, has been dealing with the American Jewish business element for his whole life, pretty much. He understands Zelensky’s negotiating style, and is unwilling to be bamboozled by it.
It looks increasingly likely that Russian tanks will be at the gates of Kiev before very long, probably in 2026 if not later in 2025.
It is actually laughable that “little Britons” such as Dan Hodges, among many, think in terms of the supposed importance of royal invitations etc, and how “crushing” to such as Trump (and, notionally, Putin etc) being disinvited to some visit or meeting must be. They really are living in a little parochial Westminster Bubble. I love the (now long-defunct) British Empire, but that was then. The world has now moved to a different place.
Dan Hodges, Rory Stewart, all that type, think that the UK can “take a stand” against Trump (and the USA), after having been “America’s poodle” for at least 35 years if not 85 years.
I love that all these enemies of Britain’s better future, and Europe’s better future, are being put in their place by proxy. Most if not all of them are pro-Israel, pro-Jewish Lobby etc (I do not know whether Massie is such, but he writes or has written for Murdoch’s Times, Sunday Times etc, so… prima facie?…).
I suppose I can concede that there is an unmistakeable whiff of The Beverly Hillbillies about the Trump White House. Not so much Trump himself, but some of the entourage.
A long way from the sophistication of the Kennedy years of “American Camelot”…
The main thing, though, is that the international agenda, and indeed the post-1945 international order, is being reset. Britain is not involved, not as a player. It is, at most, an object, as are the other western and central European states.
This is the down-the-line result of Europe’s defeat in the Second World War. Europe was defeated, in big-picture terms, by western oligarchy (the USA) and eastern despotism (the Soviet Union), mainly. The UK started to be a vassal-state of the USA.
Now, the USA finds that it does not really need the UK even as “America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier” as someone (F.D. Roosevelt?) once called it. Result? Vassal-state UK has been dismissed by Trump’s USA, as has Starmer.

Zelensky is a dictator, or at least the figurehead of a dictatorship. That is a fact. Elections “delayed” and not expected to be held for years, if ever. Dissidents arrested, with some imprisoned, some even shot. Trade unions banned. Opposition parties, opposed to the war, or favourable to negotiation with Russia, banned. Military recruits simply seized off the streets and brutally pressganged.
That’s before you even start with the pervasive corruption, which is worse the higher you get in the Ukrainian fake state. Every kind of international gangsterism and moneylaundering is there.
Zelensky and his cabal is now sidelined as a near-irrelevance. Why? Because the Kiev regime is not a real player in the war. Stop the arms and ammunition (and vast amounts of US, EU, and UK taxpayer monies) going to the Kiev regime, and the war will stop within weeks. The war juggernaut cannot run without that fuel.
There are only two real players in the war, Russia and the USA, and now, thank God, they are both interested seriously in a negotiated peace, or at least a negotiated armistice.
The EU states and the UK are not serious players because the amount of arms, ammunition, and money they are wasting on the Kiev regime is less than half of the total spend. If the USA stops funding the Kiev regime but the EU and UK continue, the war will continue for a while until, before very long, Russian forces prevail and the Zelensky dictatorship collapses (in 2025 or 2026).
Ukraine is not a proper state, and was not even when it was established, in the 1990s. I have heard tales of corruption and degeneracy that would make your hair stand up on end. Now, even basic State functions are only carried out because of the Western money being funneled to the regime.
Trump may not be a particularly likeable man or leader, but I seriously think that, to put it in traditional terms, “God is on his side” in trying to close down this terrible war; in other respects as well.
Russia has been partly to blame. I blame the leadership (from high to low) of the Russian Army, air force, SVR, and also the political leadership, for not having conducted a swift and unstoppable coup de main and coup d’etat in early 2022.
I have written about this previously on the blog. Something akin to the way in which the Afghan government was removed in 1979.
Swift. Relentless. Remorseless.
Had that been done, civilian casualties and environmental damage would have been minimal. The whole thing would have been over in a few days.
Going from the sublime to the ridiculous, the minor would-be players, such as Starmer, and (if the idiot is worth even mentioning) David Lammy, are just making themselves look ridiculous. They talk about “British boots on the ground in Ukraine“, when only between 5,000 and (at very most) 10,000 troops could be sent, and they would be irrelevant in such a situation, quite apart from quite likely sparking a major Russia-NATO war.
Little lawyer Starmer is out of his depth. He should leave Ukraine alone and start to do something (if he even wants to, and if he is capable of doing anything useful) about the invasion of Britain by blacks and browns.
As said, Zelensky can be regarded as a dictator or, perhaps more accurately, the figurehead of a dictatorial cabal of thieves, those thieves posing as a legitimate government.
People in the Western msm, and System politics, are now waking up to what I have been presuming for some time, namely that, if a European NATO state calls upon the “mutual aid” Article 5 of the NATO treaty, regarding a situation arising from the Ukraine situation, and if that state wants other NATO states to weigh in against Russia, the USA (all the more so now Trump is President) might well say “no” in respect of US forces, or nuclear weapons, getting involved.
NATO has outlived its usefulness.
The idea that Russia wants to occupy central and western Europe, or even most of eastern Europe (Poland, the Baltic states), is ridiculous anyway. Those EU states and others throwing money at the Zelensky “government” in Kiev are a joke. Wasting money which should be going to improve the lives of their own citizens, whose taxes are being stolen, in effect.
Britain should be ready to normalize relations with Russia now. In fact, that is the only way that Brexit can work properly. We can form a mutually-beneficial trading and strategic connection with Russia. The rest of Europe (within or without the EU) should do the same.
Thoughts about “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer’s latest nonsense
Starmer has now commented that he may decide to plant British “boots on the ground” in Ukraine. This is a comment which could only be made by someone with no grasp at all of geopolitical realities, and no thought at all for the welfare of the British people.
So what happens if/when serious fighting breaks out between the forces of the Russian Federation and those of the Kiev regime? Presumably, Starmer will want them to fight on the side of the Kiev-regime forces, i.e. against those of the Russian Federation, unless the British forces would just stand there, or retreat westward.
At that point, a NATO nuclear-armed state’s forces would be in direct armed conflict with Russian nuclear-armed forces. What happens when the Brit forces, maybe thousands of them, are destroyed? Send another tranche? How so, when the battle-ready UK Army numbers around 30,000 (some say fewer)?
Has Starmer thought this through? I think not. He’s useless.
Apart from anything else, the Russian Government would inevitably see the presence of NATO troops in Ukraine, whether designated as “peacekeeping forces” or not, as tantamount to a NATO force in Ukraine and on the side of the Kiev regime.
Madness.

“This story just breaking in The Telegraph must spell the end of Lord Hermer’s time as Attorney General. It’s been disclosed Hermer fought for compensation for Mustafa al-Hawsawi , one of the plotters of 9/11 where 2,900 people were killed. Hermer claimed the MoD, MI5 and MI6 were complicit in the torture of Hawsawi who was arrested in Pakistan alongside the 9/11 mastermind in 2003. Hermer started taking the terrorist’s money in 2023. A year later al-Hawsawi pleads guilty to murdering 2,900 people and is sentenced to life meaning life. Let’s get this right. One minute Hermer is accusing the MoD torture the next moment he’s on Labour’s payroll. A total shit. And don’t believe all this tosh about lawyer’s having to take the cab off the rank. As a KC he’s so busy he can pick and choose.who he represents. He chose a terrorist. Says all you need to know about Lord Hermer.“

Starmer is talking s**t, as usual. Not only would putting UK “boots on the ground” be likely to go very wrong, and potentially lead to a conflict between the UK and Russia, possibly nuclear, but it seems that the quantity and indeed quality of British troops would be inadequate, taking “quality” to include their equipment, arms, armament, air “lift” power etc.
The best soldiers in the world are all but helpless without the right arms, armament, transport, logistics etc. True, in small scale “special forces” situations that is less so, but the Ukrainian theatre is not like that. Do not think Bosnia, Oman, Northern Ireland; think Second World War or, indeed, First World War.
Large armies, large artillery contingents, slugging it out on a vast scale. Even the present overall front-line is something like 900 miles long.
We see retired Brit senior officers saying that the UK government should be doubling military expenditure “to face Russia”. Why? There is actually no need. Russia is only looking (to some) like an adversary because the UK has been backing the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev. Russia would much prefer to have cordial or at least normal relations with the UK.
Even leaving that aside, to scale-up the British armed forces to anything like what would be required to have more than a token effect in Ukraine would take not months but years. Personnel, training, re-equipping, rearming etc. Maybe 5 years.
Where would Britain’s retired senior officers’ new fantasy armies come from? Young people in the UK mostly wish to have nothing to do with anything military or naval, and who can blame them, looking at the increasingly degenerate and shambolic country they live in…
Meanwhile, Britain’s people become poorer by the year, Britain’s road and rail network is not even maintained, for the most part, properly, drug and alcohol abuse is rife, the population is degenerating culturally and ethnically, hutches for migrant-invaders threaten what is left of the green and pleasant land, and idealism (whether real or misplaced), is hard to find.
“As Starmer and his advisors scurry to Paris this morning collectively shamed by Washington into finally pulling their finger out on defence, here’s two cold hard realities.
1. The idea of deploying a peacekeeping force to Ukraine is indeed noble. But the UK have four deployable brigades for such a task. These would need to be re-rolled into a coherent entity or BCT, plus a corps level HQ which would be expected by allies. This would exhaust the British Army – with many units up to one third non-deployable. The notion of a 10k UK force I’ve seen doing the rounds is simply laughable. At most, a brigade, and this would exhaust the Army past 18 months (3 rotations).
2. The absolute fallacy of Starmer thinking he can send a credible force – whilst *still* insisting in private he won’t go above 2.65% GDP for defence spending – is utterly shameful. The cost of deploying even one brigade will cost billions extra a year – whilst straining the Army to its seams. To commit UK forces but not be prepared to fund it adequately is shameful, and shows no signs from learning from Iraq and Afghanistan.“
[Robert Clark]
Worth noting that. Not that I agree that sending Brit troops to Ukraine is in any way “noble“. We, as Brits, have neither selfish interest nor any moral obligation to do so. “Ukraine” as a state has existed for only 33-34 years, since 1991.
Since then, it has been the most corrupt “state” or quasi-state in Europe. The Kiev regime is not only corrupt but brutal and shambolic. Trade unions are banned, dissidents arrested or even shot or otherwise disposed of. Elections should have been held, at latest, a year ago.
Zelensky and his thieving cabal (with their overseas villas and offshore bank accounts) have stolen literally billions, and rule by decree and brute force. Few Ukrainians volunteer to fight; most, almost all now, are either drafted compulsorily or are pressed into service after having been abducted off the streets.
Moreover, Britain has effectively no historical ties of any substance with the region, and none with Ukraine as a state, because until 1991, Ukraine was merely part of the Soviet Union, and before that part of the Russian Empire.
Starmer and his ludicrous Cabinet of idiots have nothing in the tank. I am not referring only to the armed forces but across the board. They are empty of ideals, ideas, policies, and public support.

“In 1943, amid the devastating final years of World War II, the Berlin Zoo was heavily bombed, leaving much of the zoo in ruins and many of its animals in grave danger. Among the survivors was a Shoe-billed stork, an unusual and majestic bird recognized for its unique, shoe-shaped bill and stately demeanor. With the zoo’s facilities destroyed, the stork found an unlikely refuge in a nurse’s bathroom, a small but safe haven where it was cared for during the chaos of war. The nurse’s bathroom became a sanctuary for the bird, symbolizing the compassion and determination of those who worked to protect the zoo’s animals despite the dire circumstances. The stork’s survival depended on the care it received in this improvised setting, where it was fed and tended to with limited resources. This poignant scene of a wild, exotic bird in a domestic, human space emphasized the extraordinary lengths people went to preserve life during a time when destruction seemed all-encompassing. The survival of the Shoe-billed stork and its temporary shelter in the nurse’s bathroom became a powerful symbol of resilience and hope amidst the horrors of war. While much of the zoo was destroyed and many animals were lost, stories like this highlight the small acts of care and humanity that endured even in the darkest hours. The stork’s journey is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals and serves as a reminder of the fragments of hope that can emerge even in times of overwhelming devastation.“

“The subterranean city of Derinkuyu, located in Cappadocia region of Türkiye, an extraordinary historical site with the capacity to house an estimated 20,000 to 60,000 people, including their livestock and supplies. Its discovery occurred unexpectedly in 1963 when a homeowner accidentally broke through a wall in his basement, unveiling an ancient and intricate underground structure hidden for centuries. Derinkuyu is an impressive multi-level complex, descending over 200 feet below the surface and consisting of at least 18 levels, though only a portion of it has been fully excavated. The city features an array of functional spaces, including living quarters, kitchens, storage areas, wine and oil presses, stables, and even chapels and schools. Ventilation shafts and a sophisticated water system ensured the city’s inhabitants could survive underground for extended periods. Defensive mechanisms, such as heavy stone doors that could be rolled into place, protected the city from invaders. Historians and archaeologists believe Derinkuyu was initially constructed by the Phrygians or Hittites in the early centuries BCE, though it was later expanded and used by various groups, including early Christians, as a refuge from persecution or attacks. Its design reflects the ingenuity and resilience of the civilizations that relied on such cities for survival during times of conflict or environmental challenges. The discovery of Derinkuyu has spurred interest in Cappadocia’s extensive network of underground cities, many of which remain unexplored. These ancient marvels continue to captivate researchers and visitors alike, shedding light on the innovative ways humans adapted to their environment and safeguarded their communities.“

“Recruits to the castle-convents scattered across Teutonic territory primarily hailed from Germanic regions such as Franconia, Thuringia, the Rhine, and other German territories. These knights, often aristocrats but also comprising lower-ranking members, were stationed in commanderies housing anywhere from 10 to 80 individuals. Similar to other military orders, recruits pledged monastic vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Joining offered prospects of spiritual rewards, adventure, career advancement, and even basic amenities like regular meals and shelter. While German settlers were permitted entry, they typically served as priests or half-brethren. Each castle-convent also accommodated local crossbowmen, as well as non-combatants like servants and craftsmen. Although officially international, the order predominantly drew recruits from German lands. Membership numbers varied, influenced by battles and territorial shifts. For instance, Prussia counted 700 members in 1379 AD, 400 in 1450 AD, 160 in 1513 AD, and 55 in 1525 AD. The total knightly roster likely never exceeded around 1,300. The order’s revenue stemmed from wartime spoils, captured territories, trade, land rents, and donations in cash, goods, or land. Some brethren paid an entry fee, while taxes on local populations were imposed in Teutonic territories by the 15th century AD. As recruitment challenges grew, the order increasingly relied on mercenaries, necessitating financial support. Commanderies not only offered training, residences, and retirement options but also extended aid to local communities through hospices, hospitals, schools, and cemeteries. Additionally, the order constructed churches, providing ongoing maintenance and fostering artistic endeavors for embellishment.“

“The Lion Man – An Ice Age Masterpiece : The Lion Man is a masterpiece. Sculpted with great originality, virtuosity and technical skill from mammoth ivory, this 40,000 year-old image is 31cm tall. It has the head of a cave lion with a partly human body. He stands upright, perhaps on tiptoes, legs apart and arms to the sides of a slender, cat-like body with strong shoulders like the hips and thighs of a lion. His gaze, like his stance, is powerful and directed at the viewer. The details of his face show he is attentive, he is watching and he is listening. He is powerful, mysterious and from a world beyond ordinary nature. He is the oldest known representation of a being that does not exist in physical form but symbolises ideas about the supernatural.
Found in a cave in what is now southern Germany in 1939, the Lion Man makes sense as part of a story that might now be called a myth. The wear on his body caused by handling suggests that he was passed around and rubbed as part of a narrative or ritual that would explain his appearance and meaning. It is impossible to know what that story was about or whether he was deity, an avatar to the spirit world, part of a creation story or a human whose experiences on a journey through the cosmos to communicate with spirits caused this transformation. Obviously, the story involved humans and animals. Lion Man is made from a mammoth tusk, the largest animal in the environment of that time and depicts the fiercest predator, a lion, now extinct, that was about 30 centimetres taller than a modern African lion and had no mane. Distinct from other animals through their use of tools and fire, humans were nonetheless dependent on some animals for food while needing to protect themselves from predators. Perhaps this hybrid helped people to come to terms with their place in nature on a deeper, religious level or in some way to transcend or reshape it.
Archaeological discoveries in other caves in this region include small sculptures as shown in the British Museum’s 2013 exhibition Ice Age art: arrival of the modern mind. They were found in caves with large quantities of stone tools and animal bones that indicate people lived in the shelter of the daylight areas of these sites for repeated periods of time.
Stadel Cave, where the Lion Man was found, is different. It faces north and does not get the sun. It is cold and the density of debris accumulated by human activities is much less than at other sites. This was not a good place to live. Lion Man was found in a dark inner chamber, carefully put away in the darkness with only a few perforated arctic fox teeth and a cache of reindeer antlers nearby. These characteristics suggest that Stadel Cave was only used occasionally as a place where people would come together around a fire to share a particular understanding of the world articulated through beliefs, symbolised in sculpture and acted out in rituals.
Lion Man is the oldest known evidence for religious beliefs and Stadel Cave suggests that believing and belonging have a deep history crucial to human societies and originating long before writing. In 2017, UNESCO acknowledged Stadel Cave and other Swabian localities as World Heritage Sites of importance to all humanity and now Ulm Museum has loaned this important sculpture to the British Museum for the exhibition.”
“The candidate for Chancellor of Germany Alice Weidel has called for the restoration of relations and economic ties with Russia The election program of Alternative for Germany includes points about the need to lift sanctions on Russia to allow free trade.

Boris Johnson put mass uncontrolled immigration on steroids and should never be allowed anywhere near frontline politics again.
I thought, when he was not nominated (plainly at his own request) for a fake peerage that Johnson, aka “Boris”-idiot, had it in mind to stand for leader again.
Were Johnson to get some sympathetic Con MP to stand down in his favour, Johnson might well win a safe-seat by-election.
Why would any MP do that? In return for a promise of getting a peerage later. That would not require Johnson to be Prime Minister, because the Leader of the Opposition also has peerage-nomination rights.
Johnson would then have to wait (probably) until November 2025 before at least 15% of Con MPs send in letters of no-confidence in “Carpetbagger Kemi” Badenoch. That means 18 MPs, as matters stand. That would happen. Con MPs know that Kemi Badenoch is a total turn-off for most voters, sure to lose the next general election and, thus, a number of seats.
Then, all Johnson would need would be a small number of MPs (in the 2024 leadership election, the number was 10 MPs) to nominate him as a candidate (quite likely possible).
Opinion polls of 2024 Con-voting people show that Johnson is far more popular (despite his evident unfitness to hold office, despite his total incompetence) than Kemi Badenoch.
I may even place a bet on “Boris” to be next Con Party leader. The odds, though, are not too generous, below 5/1. Maybe I shall lose my money elsewhere…
As Matt Goodwin says, though, Johnson was disastrous as PM (and, before that, as Foreign Secretary), and at present the Con Party is hovering around or below 20% in the opinion polls.

It has been forecast in the past and not quite happened, but I truly feel that the once-great Conservative Party is now finally going the same way as the old 19thC/20thC Liberal Party. Terminal decline.
The Con vote in (?) 2029 (and assuming that a nuclear war has not happened by then anyway) may be as low as 15%.
It would also mean Reform UK getting 330 Commons seats, an overall majority, and thus being able to form the next Government of the UK. If that then ended badly, social nationalism could finally arise. God mote it be.

The following short essay from the American online publication National Vanguard was sent to me by a reader of the blog:
“Stalingrad and the Death of the West
SOMETIMES A MOMENTOUS event occurs whose significance is not recognized at the time but only becomes apparent later. So it was with the surrender of the last German defenders of the Stalingrad pocket on Feb. 2, 1943. At the time, every observer understood that it was a fatal turning point in the Second World War — after Stalingrad, a German victory by the force of arms was impossible. All the Soviets and the Allies had to do was to ignore their casualties and grind through to the finish.
But in retrospect, we can see that the defeat at Stalingrad was more than just the defeat of Adolf Hitler and National Socialist Germany: It was the beginning of the end of Western civilization. The 82 years that have passed since then have revealed this. What we are experiencing now — and will continue to experience in the decades ahead — is merely the winding down of a civilization and culture that has lasted 1,000 years. Had Hitler prevailed in the War, he would have revitalized Western civilization and extended its life another two or three hundred years — perhaps even the thousand years that he himself predicted. But Hitler did not prevail, and so the fate of the West was sealed.
One of the first to recognize the true significance of Stalingrad was the French author Louis-Ferdinand Céline, who said:
It’s Stalingrad. How’s that for catharsis! The fall of Stalingrad is the finish of Europe. There was a cataclysm. The core of it all was Stalingrad. There you can say it was finished and well-finished, the White civilization.
We agree with Céline — up to a point. What was “well finished” was not White civilization as a racial phenomenon but only the Western incarnation of White culture.
Adolf Hitler noted in Mein Kampf:
Every defeat can become the father of a subsequent victory, every lost war the cause of a later resurgence, every hardship the fertilization of human energy; and from every oppression the forces for a new spiritual rebirth can come — as long as the blood is kept pure. (Vol. I, Ch. 11, p. 327 Manheim; p. 605 Dalton; S/ 359)
That the West is doomed is beyond question. Yet, as long as there are Aryans of pure blood in the Universe, our culture and civilization can continue. That is what we National Socialists fight for today: not to preserve the rotting corpse of Western civilization but for the new racial rebirth of Aryandom that shall follow it!“

The shocking incident, captured on video, shows the cat being blasted after stepping into a birdhouse rigged with explosives.
The attack is believed to have been carried out by Councillor James Garnor, and is one of at least two such occurrences that took place in the village of Whittlebury.
It has been reported that Mr Garnor used remote-controlled devices to detonate explosives aimed at the animals.
Police were alerted in October 2023 when a local resident filed a complaint about the April 2023 attack.
While Garnor attended a voluntary interview and was shown footage of the April 9 incident, the authorities ultimately decided there was insufficient evidence to press criminal charges. Instead, he was addressed under anti-social behaviour legislation.
Nikki the owner of the attacked cat, Suki, has spoken about the disturbing effect the attack has had on the animal which suffered visible injuries such as singed whiskers.“

Such behaviour is still not appropriately punished in this country.

I happened to see that one of my earliest blog posts, written almost exactly 8 years ago in January 2017, and brief, had a couple of recent hits after all these years. Still worth reading, I think.
In two minds about that. First of all, the farmers may be notionally anti-socialist, but that never stops them from accepting all the subsidies and other freebies they can get, and they are not only ungrateful for getting heavily subsidised in the first place but also constantly demand more.
On the other hand, the farmers are one of the last few bastions of Britishness. Few are black, brown, Jewish, Muslim etc.
The German people should, before all else, demand repeal of all “holocaust” “denial” laws (and similar repressive laws), which criminalize free expression, and inhibit examination of history.
Until that is done, untruth will continue to permeate German history and public life.

By that time (2032) the total non-white population in the UK will be (including those born here) about 40%, certainly not far off that level. By 2050, probably at least 50%.
Take away Zelensky’s ricebowl. Cut off money, arms and ammunition to the Kiev regime. By all means continue with genuine person-to-person humanitarian aid to Ukrainian families, though.
True enough, but the main attack on free speech in the UK comes from the Jewish or Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, and I never hear Matt Goodwin or Farage (etc) saying anything about that.
At what point does the encroaching slow-motion dictatorship programme become impossible to counter by merely “peaceful” means?

It's not possible to just go to the swimming pool off the cuff anymore, that pisses me right off. Everything so stiff and digital. No spontaneous decision because a window of opportunity presented itself. We are not designed to operate like automatons.

You cannot even take items to the local rubbish dump without booking a slot. Absurd.
Maria Zakharova ridiculed British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy's claim that "the British-Ukrainian partnership goes back thousands of years."

“Maria Zakharova ridiculed British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy’s claim that “the British-Ukrainian partnership goes back thousands of years.” ” The roots of this friendship go back to the foot of the Egyptian pyramids? Why so little? They even hunted brontosauruses together ,” Zakharova joked.
During a visit to Kiev, David Lemmy stated that “Kiev princesses were marrying British princes” a thousand years ago.”
Lammy personifies the old Russian proverb, “an ape in a silk suit is still an ape“…(incidentally, that proverb was not originally meant to reference blacks, because there were none in Russia until the 20thC and even today they are few; it was basically metaphorical).
Here is “diversity-hire”, thick-as-two-short-planks, Lammy making a fool of himself once again, this time on Celebrity Mastermind:
Ha ha! Evergreen…
Incidentally, Ukraine only became a nominally independent state in 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Its entire previous history was as part of the Russian state or its predecessor, Rus, though parts of Western Ukraine were within the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries.
Lammy is a total embarrassment as Foreign Secretary, but Starmer cannot easily sack him, having appointed him. Why? Because he is black. Simply that.
“The NHS has advertised almost a dozen ‘woke‘ jobs within the last few weeks, including one equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) role paying almost £123,000, MailOnline can reveal.
The recruitment drive comes days after Health Secretary Wes Streeting warned diversity and inclusion in the NHS has gone too far with some staff now promoting ‘anti-whiteness’ within the health service.
The Associate Dean with responsibility for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion role, advertised by NHS England, is based in the South West and comes with a salary of £122,470.
The salary is equivalent to the entry-level pay of up to three NHS doctors or four nurses.
According to the job description, the successful candidate can work from home 60 per cent of the time and will be responsible for ensuring medical students from different backgrounds have equal opportunities.”
[Daily Mail]
Wrong in every way. In any case, white English/British staff should have greater opportunities, because they are part of the UK’s proper folk-community.
“An asylum seeker from Pakistan has been awarded almost £100,000 after complaining that she was ‘treated like a criminal’ when she overstayed in the UK.
Nadra Almas fought a legal battle against the Home Office to remain in the UK, stating that she would face persecution if she was forced to return home on religious grounds.“
[Daily Mail]
British people find it hard to access peanuts-level State benefits, but a foreign migrant-invader, who entered this country on a fraudulent basis, is given £100,000! She should not even be here! You really could not make up what is happening in this country.
Incidentally, look at the readers’ comments on that Daily Mail report. It is only a thousand or more years of slow accretion of patience, and belief in a society under law, that is preventing a socio-political explosion in the UK (so far).
EXCLUSIVE: @Daily_Express understands Keir Starmer is ready to axe Rachel Reeves as Chancellor in a major shake-up of his top team to revive Labour’s plunging popularity
Sacked (it seems likely) after only 7-8 months. “Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations”, a fervent pro-Israel drone, expenses freeloader, and general moneygrubber (as well as CV-falsifier), out (or soon likely to be). Good. She’s just horrible, as well as utterly incompetent.

Turns out that the largest contingent of “refugees” from Ukraine have sought shelter and succour in…Russia. Not something you see on UK or American TV news reports, or in the Western msm generally.
Could opening Britain to mass, uncontrolled, low skill, low wage, non-selective immigration, often from impoverished nations, have anything to do with this I wonder? pic.twitter.com/A3BYUkdRMB
If you go into a shop in, say, Egypt, a small shop that in the UK (if owned by real British people) would probably have one or two people, maybe three at most, but probably one or two, working there, you will find that the owner has half a dozen people working there, probably related to him in some way. Open long hours, perhaps, and the people there doing little individually. Paid peanuts, of course. Likewise, offices.
I understand that India and other such poor countries are similar.
Non-crime “hate” incidents are, ipso facto, not crimes. If the police continue to be incapable of doing their proper job, and if they continue to behave like a blundering, hopeless, poundshop KGB, snooping on people’s opinions, tweets, blogs etc, they deserve to be, when the UK has a real government, dismissed and put to work as forced labour.
On those figures, the House of Commons might look like this: Reform UK 256, Labour 217, LibDems 78, Conservatives 43, Greens 6 (SNP 19 etc).
That would mean either a weak minority Reform government, or an exceptionally-weak Labour minority government backed by LibDems, SNP and other minor parties.
Arguably the most interesting aspect of the latest polling is the apparent continuing collapse of the Conservative Party (predicted, of course, on this blog). Not only 4th placed, after the LibDems in 3rd, but with little better than half as many MPs as the LibDems.
I read today that CCHQ may be unable to pay the rent on its office building. I would not be surprised to see quite a few Con Party MPs now jump to Reform in the hope of being accepted as candidates for the seats they currently occupy as “Conservatives”. I wonder how many will be deemed acceptable. If they delay too long crossing the line, they may not be accepted.
I was interested to read that article on the Conservative Home website. The comments were 95% or more pro-Reform and anti-Con Party.
“Blimey. Simon Myerson KC chattin’ about other barristers apologising and showing a lack of judgement. A judge decided Myerson engaged in “disgraceful abuse” of me and I’m still waiting for Myerson’s apology. It’s all covered in my next S-stack post out tomorrow. Link in bio.”
[James Wilson]
You will get no “apology” from Myerson. “They” always like to extract “apologies” from their enemies or opponents; they see that as victory (and humiliation for those “apologizing”).
Their instincts are, of course, not those of the European.
As Corbyn noted, years ago, “they” also usually lack a sense of irony, likewise the ability to see themselves.
Myerson was sacked as a p/t judge (“Recorder”) last year for his inability to stop savagely insulting others online. In short, he was found to lack the proper judgment required of those who aspire to sit on the Bench.
It’s not enough to be against mass immigration, you should be actively loving your country.
One thing I’ve been doing is trying to educate myself on British history, culture and literature – especially since the education system does such a terrible job.

Saw two silly twits on Sky News earlier, being interviewed separately. The first was someone called General Shirreff (retired) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Shirreff], who thinks that war with Russia is all but inevitable, that the UK should double or triple the amount it spends on armed services in all ways, and that it is essential for the UK to back up “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev).
I find it disturbing that an officer previously at such a high rank and with such heavy responsibilities until retirement should actually think that Britain should embroil itself even further in the brutal, shambolic, and corrupt Kiev-regime war, and try to confront Russia in Eastern Europe.
Come to that, the UK should also have steered clear of a number of other late-19thC and early 20thC conflicts: the Balkan war(s) of the 1990s, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Libyan uprising.
President Kennedy said, of General Curtis LeMay [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_LeMay], that, in a war requiring an all-out attack, you would want LeMay commanding the first wave of the bomber force, but that he was the last person who should decide whether there should be a war at all. Having heard General Shirreff’s attempt at geopolitical argument, I rather think that that is also my view of General Shirreff.
Any war with Russia would leave what is left of this country, and worth defending, in ruins. Irradiated ruins, over which those of us who survive will crawl in misery. Nein danke!
The said Chalk, who lost his Commons seat in 2024, was briefly Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice under Sunak. My thoughts about him, having now heard him (I was only peripherally aware of his existence, previously) relate more to his ideas about how to fund the justice system than to his actual decisions when in high office. He wants even more cuts to the “welfare” (social security) budget, and for that money to be directed to the courts, legal professions, prisons etc. A rehash of 2010-2015 “austerity” nonsense, in short, but with money given to the legal and justice system (and defence). He seemed a smug bastard, rather full of himself. Again, nein danke!
There comes a point when many people wonder whether we still have much worth “defending”. In fact, I think that many have already reached such a conclusion, which is why recruitment to the armed forces has become a thorny issue. I saw an ad for the Army today, showing an entirely black platoon in the field. Has the Army given up trying to recruit real British people?
