Housing crisis

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/14/councils-keen-to-help-home-office-move-asylum-seekers-out-of-hotels

Councils across England and Wales have said they are keen to help accommodate asylum seekers as the government attempts to move as many as possible out of hotels, in part to try to ease community tensions.

The Local Government Association, which represents councils in England and Wales, said that while it had not been briefed about a possible shift away from the current model, councils would be keen to help if it happened.

“Councils have a proud history of supporting new arrivals across the current range of asylum and resettlement programmes,” said Louise Gittins, a councillor and the chair of the LGA.

[Guardian]

So there it is. If you cannot get a lease of a local authority council property, or indeed a fairly-priced private lease or rental, you know why— migration-invasion.

Look at the words of that Louise Gittins idiot, i.e. that the way to “ease community tensions” (meaning fool the English/British into believing that they are not being swamped) is to, in effect, prioritize invaders over British or, at very least, to allow them to have social housing on the same basis as those who live here, those whose ancestors lived here, and who pay —through the nose— into the system…

This country’s government, both central and local, is riddled with both idiots and traitors.

Thus spake, in effect, Sajid Javid, a pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby Pakistani and apostate Muslim. Now politically binned, but there are plenty more where he came from, of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sajid_Javid#Israel_and_Palestine.

The System parties and their MPs are all the same. In rough and ready language, traitors.

Honour and honours

Take a look at this once-quite-famous British actor, who performed courageous feats in the jungles of South Asia in the Second World War, was also a well-known actor, and an early campaigner for animals and against cruel zoos etc, yet in his whole life was awarded only an MBE, and ask whether the current crop of fake “peers”, “knights” and others have not been over-rewarded…

Ukraine has no future as an independent state, at least not on the basis of its present borders. If it withdraws to west of the Dnieper, and is centred on Lvov, maybe.

Electoral Calculus has the result of that (with Greens at a notional 8%) as: Labour 230 seats, Cons 197, Reform 93, LibDem 70, Greens 6.

Hung Parliament. Labour, even with LibDem and Green support, could only form a minority government (even in full coalition, only 306 seats, about 16 short of a majority).

Early days, though. If Reform UK could get to 26% (and all other unchanged), the result would be: Lab 190, Reform UK 172 (official Opposition), Cons 160, LibDems 69, Greens 6. In that scenario, Labour, 136 short of a majority, could only govern on the say-so of either Reform UK or the Conservative Party. In fact, in such a scenario, a Reform UK-Conservative Party coalition or agreement would be far more likely, producing a joint majority of about 10 seats.

Sooner or later, real social nationalism must break through. When people have suffered even more.

Useful advice.

When I first drove in England, aged about 43, I had never had to parallel park for a driving test, and drove as long as I could on my foreign licence.

In the end, because the DVLA would not allow me to simply swap my licence for a UK one, I had to accept that I would have to get a UK licence and also take the UK driving test, which however I passed without difficulty, and perhaps unsurprisingly, having driven extensively both in the UK and overseas (including UK to Turkey and back, a trip more difficult in 2001 than it would be now, with the new motorways that now exist, extended Schengen Zone etc).

The one difficult aspect was the parallel parking, but I employed a driving instructor for 2 brief afternoon sessions, and he taught me how to parallel park to a higher standard than I already knew.

A couple of points.

I was never a sparkling wine drinker, but Sekt is as good as anything else except the best Champagne. Also, on a partly-personal point, not many people know that, when Ambassador in London, Ribbentrop, apart from his residence in the German Embassy (then at Carlton House Terrace near The Mall), kept a private house in Barnes (the area the other side of Hammersmith Bridge; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes,_London).

The modestly spacious detached house, with gardens, and situated in a side-road, was later owned by a lady with whom I was slightly acquainted (the friend of a friend). I visited it once, perhaps twice. She later sold it (mid/late 1980s) to a Jew, who knocked it down and built a small block of two or three-storey flats on the site.

Incidentally, I was just looking at Wikipedia; nothing at all in it about Ribbentrop’s residence in Barnes. “Unknown history”, it seems, though of course MI5’s files would have the details, as far as the 1930s are concerned.

Mandelson

As readers will be aware, the Jew Mandelson has been appointed Ambassador to the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Mandelson.

Interesting.

I think that that may be part of it. Also, the sinister conspirators trying to implement the Coudenhove-Kalergi agenda have made a determined effort to flood the British countryside with non-whites, as witness the National Trust and similar organizations.

The British countryside is one of the few redoubts of white British people, surrounded by urban and suburban non-white swamps. Farmers in the UK are almost entirely a white British community. This makes them a target.

I myself have criticisms of farmers in some respects, but that does not mean that I want them “replaced” by migrant-invaders and/or corporations interested only in the bottom line.

…and the Bar, the BBC, academia, and almost everywhere else. The biggest sharks in that anti-free-speech pool are those of the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, by the way.

In that case, people will start to take “measures” to remedy the situation and to deal with it.

Our fake form of “democracy” has pretty much had its day. I raised the question on the blog, years ago:

Wall. Kader. Ende.

Wall. Squad. End.

Gerry Adams

What is there to say? Instead of being [REDACTED] as he well deserves, he is quite likely going to get “compensation” out of British taxpayers’ money.

Can this country’s System parties do anything right?

Few today will be aware that, when Adams headed both Sinn Fein and the IRA in Belfast, he was getting social security payments from the equivalent of the present DWP. Petty, maybe, but it does show how “careful” the British governments of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s were in dealing with these people.

The Northern Ireland situation was handled, mainly, in the way the British state handled, for example, the Rhodesia/Zimbabwe situation. Gather as much intelligence as possible. Don’t be too harsh or extreme. Try to get the parties to come to agreement. Manage the situation.

That may sound all very reasonable, but it does not work when you are dealing with the likes of Mugabe or Adams. Fact. It leads to poor resulting conditions.

Northern Ireland stopped actually fighting 25 years or so ago mainly because the IRA had run out of steam, the civilian population wanted an end to it all, and the British Government was willing to throw huge amounts of money at the province in terms of public sector jobs, social welfare, social housing etc, and also willing to let the convicted fighters/terrorists/whatever out of prison. The Good Friday Agreement. “Peace” at a price.

The British Government was also willing to allow, in effect, the IRA into government. Martin McGuinness, Gerry Adams etc.

Oh, well. Northern Ireland is a sideshow anyway, but it is irritating.

Reform UK

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14280613/Reform-UK-Nigel-Farage-Labour-government-new-poll.html

Reform UK is now only a single percentage point behind Labour – putting their leader Nigel Farage within touching distance of Number 10 at the next election.  

New polling data from YouGov, commissioned by Sky News, puts Reform on 24 per cent and Labour on 25 per cent – down a whopping 9 percentage points from their winning vote share at the 2024 UK election.  

With the Conservatives on 22 per cent, the UK electorate may be about to usher in a new epoch of three-way party politics.

The new research puts Labour on 26 per cent, Reform UK on 25 per cent, the Tories on 22 per cent, the Lib Dems on 14 per cent and the Greens on 8 per cent.

In general the assessment of Sir Keir’s first six months in office is damning, with only 10 per cent of voters judging that he has been successful and an overwhelming majortity (60 per cent) saying he has been unsuccessful.

Labour insiders are also worried at how the party is hemorrhaging voters to other parties across the political spectrum.  

The new data found that they have retained only 54 per cent of supporters from the general election – while 7 percent have defected to the Lib Dems, 6 per cent to the Green Party, 5 per cent to Reform UK and 4 per cent to the Tories.

Meanwhile almost a quarter of those who voted Labour in the polls (23 per cent) either did not say, weren’t sure or had decided not to vote at all. 

Labour also faces a problem with elderly voters in light of policies like the removal of the winter fuel allowance, with only 14 per cent of OAPs now saying they would cast their vote for Labour – down eight percentage points from the election.

[Daily Mail]

Naturally, Reform UK is not very close to me, ideologically. Pro Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, and (relatively) anti-welfare state; pro-finance capitalism.

Still, Reform UK has its uses. To move the “Overton Window”, particularly on issues of immigration, migration-invasion, free speech etc. Above all, to break up the LibLabCon “three main parties” scam which has been in place during my lifetime.

It may well be that all party politics will crumble to dust by reason of some existential catastrophe in the world, such as nuclear war, but that is another matter, arguably.

According to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], the figures given, if replicated at a general election, might result in a House of Commons with Labour holding 287 seats, Conservative Party 128, Reform UK 107, LibDems 77, Green Party 4. That would indicate a Lab-LibDem coalition, or some lesser concordat, Labour being about 37 short of an overall majority on those figures.

The (continuing) “reduction of the Gaza ghetto”…

Either ship him back or just get rid of him (and the rest).

When I was about 21-y-o, I wanted to get rid of hundreds of unwanted books, mostly paperback novels (spy stories and crime thrillers etc). I gave them to the Royal Marsden because I was then living at Reigate Hill in Surrey, only about 8 or 9 miles away from the hospital’s site at Sutton (though the distance seems more because the two areas are so different). I dropped them off at the hospital reception. I hope they at least passed the time for some of the in-patients. I suppose that must have been 1977 or 1978.

It looks, though, as if the lady tweeter noted attends not the Sutton site of the hospital but rather its other and older location, in Kensington (which would make more sense, because she lives not far from my old shooting club, the Kensington Rifle and Pistol Club, now all but defunct and no longer —since the 1990s, if not earlier—in West Kensington). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Marsden_Hospital.

My annual mammo is the best focus group of one you’ll get. Delightful radiographer tells me she’s never voted, they’re all as bad as each other and don’t listen to the NHS.

Furious about the social care plan delay not just as a healthcare worker but as the mother of a special needs adult who needs it. Her daughter volunteers in a food bank when she can, bless her.

3 disgraces in this story alone – underpaid NHS worker (my words not hers), crap & ludicrously expensive social care, food banks. I say I might have an offer you like and care passionately about fixing social care. And the rest. I also think doctors would run the NHS better, pen-pushers and deadbeat hospital CEOs, often from industry or politics, should be blocked off.

All right. Some good points, but was she saying all that when she was married to a Conservative MP and Whip (until a decade ago)? I do not know, but I doubt it. She was (and still is? I wonder…) a passionate supporter of the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and George (Gideon) Osborne, whose government of nasty nonsense, 2010-2015, imposed so-called “austerity” (for the poor) and spending cuts which permanently crippled this country in every way.

As for “food banks”, they scarcely existed until 2010. Only on a tiny scale, anyway. Another result of “Conservative” Party policies 2010-2015.

The Fiona Syms tweeter should think about why the Conservative Party presently stands at 22% in the opinion polls, 2 points lower than at GE 2024, despite the evident hopeless incompetence and unpleasantness of the “Labour” government of “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer and his little Labour Friends of Israel cabal.

People have not forgotten the 14 years of truly bad “Conservative” government 2010-2024, finishing off with the government of the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak; and now the “Conservatives” are “led” by a political joke (again), a Nigerian woman who only came to the UK at age 16, albeit that she spent a day or two here after her birth (in London).

Having said that, it is clear that Labour (too) is finished. After a week or two of Starmer-Labour misgovernment, I blogged as much, at which time the msm were sycophantically applauding Starmer (some stupid woman scribbler in, I think, the Guardian, even said that she found herself attracted to Starmer sexually!— Well, Henry Kissinger did say that “power is the ultimate aphrodisiac“…).

What stands out there for me is how only among those 65+ years of age is voting Conservative anywhere near the level required to ground a Conservative Party government. 35%. Not very impressive anyway, but dropping to only 25% among those 50-64 y o, and to only 16% among those aged 25-49 before almost disappearing among those aged 18-24.

It might be argued that those aged below 65 y o might well change their views when they age further (just as it was said by Soviet anti-Christian propagandists in the pre-1989 period that “only old women now attend Russian Orthodox churches“, but that was countered by those who noted that there seemed always to be another generation of old women at church…).

Yes, those now aged below 65 may well be more inclined to vote Conservative when they reach 65+, but in my opinion the numbers will never be higher, or even as high, as they now are.

If the percentage of those 65+ voting Conservative is now 35% or so, by 2029 that might easily decline to 30%, and lower thereafter. The same slide might also be seen, and probably will be seen, lower down the age scale. If the present 18-24 y o generation only vote Conservative Party at around 5%, that will almost certainly increase, but maybe only slightly, over the years to come. To what extent is hard to pinpoint, but maybe by only about 5 points in each coming generation, so at age 65+ maybe to about 20%.

Admittedly speculative.

That is assuming that the present voting and political system will still be here in 2060, 2040, or even 2030. Or the present world as we know it…

An example of 2025 craziness

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14282311/Cambridge-law-student-sues-university-failed-PhD.html

A law student is suing Cambridge University for discrimination after he failed his PhD and delayed his career working as a barrister.

Jacob Meagher is seeking ‘substantial damages’ from the world famous institution, alleging he was the subject of disability discrimination and victimisation following the failure of his law PhD.

Mr Meagher also claimed that his oral ‘viva voce’ interview, where he was questioned about his thesis by two examiners, caused ‘significant damage’ to his health. 

He ended up failing the examination, meaning he missed out on a opportunity to take up a tenancy at a ‘particular set of chambers’ and therefore ‘suffered a substantial loss of anticipated earnings’.

Outlining the claim, the judge said: ‘Mr Meagher…is a student at the University of Cambridge…undertaking a PhD in law. 

‘[He] did not successfully pass his final viva voce examination of his doctoral thesis.

Court documents also stated that the University’s Disability Resource Centre had recommended that at the viva, examiners follow a set of guidelines, produced as part of a Student Support Document (SSD), to help him.

These included asking specific rather than general questions, using the active, rather than the passive, voice and allowing him pauses and breaks after questions…to allow him to ‘mentally retrieve the words or information that he needed in order to answer’.

[Daily Mail]

How on Earth does that litigant think he is going to survive at the Bar (unless he does no court work at all) if he cannot endure being verbally challenged, and needs time “to mentally retrieve the words or information that he [needs] in order to answer“?

You need a thick skin at the Bar. I should know. I was a practising barrister, in court almost daily, from 1993-1996 in London (often at the High Court, as well as in County Courts and both “the mags” and, less often, Crown Courts), and during 2002-2008 based in Exeter (though travelling widely across the UK and beyond).

Being put on the spot by a judge, especially a High Court judge (I was never at the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court), can be a chastening experience even if the judge is (as most High Court judges are) reasonably courteous.

Woe betide the barrister who is unprepared, or whose instructing solicitors have fallen down on their job. I usually managed to put up a good show, or at least a good front, but I have seen other barristers fall silent, unable to say a word, or flounder helplessly; even, in one case (in Camberwell Magistrates’ Court, before a particularly severe Stipendiary Magistrate —the people called District Judges now—) actually whimper and almost burst into tears (it was a man, too…).

At one time, a barrister who was disabled, even physically, was at a huge disadvantage in trying to get into any chambers. Now, it is arguable that things have gone to the other extreme.

When I was in provincial chambers in Exeter, from 2002-2008 , there was a girl Bar pupil from Northern Ireland. She seemed pleasant and was afterwards offered a tenancy (after which she became markedly less pleasant). The point, though, was that she had a bad speech impediment. In my opinion, the Northern Irish accent is hard enough to understand, let alone when the speaker has a speech impediment. She did get some criminal and family work, though; low-level stuff.

In the end, that Northern Irish person gave up the Bar entirely (I was told) and returned to her native Ulster. At least there they were, presumably, able to understand what she said.

[my old chambers in Colleton Crescent, Exeter, from where I practised law at the Bar during the years 2002-2008]

Worth watching.

What a ridiculous monkeyhouse Westminster is! Look at thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves (“Rachel from Accounts”) etc, all making noise, exchanging remarks, and laughing like badly-behaved schoolchildren. Then there is stupid Liz Kendall, sitting there like a nodding dog, and about as credible.

The mainstream media milieu is a cesspit. I was just reading about some person whose name, though I had seen it somewhere, in the back of my mind, conveyed little to me. A few years younger than me (I am now 68), he has died, and even years ago was looking at least a decade or more older than me, looking at photos in the newspapers. In fact, make that 20+ years older.

Apparently, that person had, at one time, in the 1990s, been spending £4,000 a week on cocaine, and drinking 4-5 bottles of vodka every day!

You could double or treble that sum to get the same value in the money of 2025.

That tells me that such System-approved msm types are both hugely over-remunerated and totally decadent. Britain needs a thoroughgoing cultural purge even more than it needs a political purge. Hitler-level. Stalin-level. Biblical-level.

Well, there it is. Switzerland has officially lost its senses.

I sincerely hope that someone or other will be at least equally “ruthless” to “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Lammy and the rest.

Rachel Reeves, aka “Rachel from Accounts (and Customer Relations)” has a grasp of real-world economics about as great, i.e. as poor, as George Osborne. Meaning very poor.

I wish some passer-by or anyone would just kick those women and their co-conspirators in the head. Smug, entitled, wrongheaded sub-terrorists. Yet look…all that the people there are doing is watching and/or taking stupid telephone videos of the incident.

If the criminals are arrested (and even that is doubtful), some magistrate will probably only give them a suspended sentence, which will not deter the next lot to do something similar.

As for wildlife extinction and the environment, I would bet the shirt off my back that those old or old-looking women support the nonsense of “refugees welcome”, the migration invasion, mass immigration etc. It is the superabundance of backward people in the world that is killing Nature, not oil and gas. Trying telling such idiots, though…they would not want to know. They have facile slogans where their brains should be.

News from the poundland KGB

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14247895/Barclays-customer-armed-police-bomb-joke.html

A pensioner was visited by armed police at his house after ‘jokingly’ asking a Barclays bank agent whether he needed to walk into a branch with ‘a bomb strapped to my shirt to get some attention’.

Eric Trim, 75, from Royston, Hertfordshire, was mystified after discovering that his £14,000 bank account was closed due to inactivity just weeks before Christmas.

The pensioner was forced to take out a loan to buy Christmas presents for his children and grandchildren before spending more than four hours on the phone to various different Barclays agents to resolve the issue.

After feeling as though he was getting ‘nowhere’ with each representative, he snapped in frustration and in a ‘tongue-in-cheek way’ said he will ‘walk into your bank in Cambridge’ and ‘tell them I’ve got a bomb strapped to my shirt to get your attention.’

Just two weeks later, two armed police officers arrived at his house to arrest him and suspended his firearms licence due to him being listed as a ‘threat’.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, the 75-year-old slammed Barclays bank for showing ‘no care’ towards him and questioned whether Britain has become a ‘police state’ after the officers arrived at his door.

[Daily Mail]

That report just typifies so much about how Britain now operates.

Someone’s bank account closed down for no good reason.

The inability of a huge and profitable company (in this case, Barclay’s Bank) to deal with a simple enquiry and matter.

The afraid-of-their-own-shadows Barclay’s employees, who obviously ticked some kind of box as an excuse for their own incompetence and the bank’s inability to operate in a customer-friendly way.

Or maybe, the bank drones were the kind of idiots who, during the 2020-2022 “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, reported people for not wearing a facemask muzzle etc.

Finally, the equally-boxticking behaviour of the police plods, who obviously did not really believe that the bank customer was “a threat“, looking at how they took two weeks after complaint was made to go to his house and arrest him (and then justified their unnecessary arrest by ticking another box and suspending his shotgun licence; thus they can now close the case with “appropriate action” having been, supposedly, taken…).

The fact that the police arrived and rang the doorbell, when they supposedly viewed the poor chap as “a threat” who had a shotgun as well as, in the Barclays/police fantasy, a bomb, says it all.

Pathetic.

As to whether Britain has become a “police state”, yes it has, though (so far) mainly a pathetic velvet-glove one, and one which attacks mainly decent citizens, not the rabble who should be dealt with.

This Greenland thing (the USA potentially going to annex the territory) may (if it ever happens) drive a wedge between the USA on the one hand, and the EU states (and European members of NATO) on the other. That would be a very good thing. NATO might even fall apart, enabling all of Europe to develop closer links with Russia.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week 7/10, thus just beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 10. I admit that my (correct) answers to q.’s 4 and 9 were educated guesses.

Blog readers

I am always interested to see from where hits on the blog come. In the past week, from 16 different countries (inc. UK). Of course, with advances in technology, you cannot say for sure where readers are located; some may be, say, in Australia but appear to be in the USA, but I daresay most locations are accurate.

I was just looking at the apparent location of readers since I started the blog towards the end of 2016, so 8 years ago. Readers from 155 countries and territories in the world, so from about three-quarters of the world. There are 195 states in the world, plus some extra territories that do not have that status (such as Antarctica— and, yes I have had the odd hit from there, presumably from some scientist at a polar research base).

I have occasionally mused on who it might be in (inter alia) Lesotho, Antarctica, Greenland, Burkina Faso, the Aaland Islands (maybe I can guess who that particular one is), American Samoa, Chad, Tadjikistan, or Congo-Kinshasa, that is reading my thoughts and ideas.

The largest number of hits has always been from the UK, though (about 70%, with a further 10% from the USA).

The readership of the blog, on a daily basis, is still modest, never reaching over a thousand on any one day, and often not reaching even a hundred (I do not publicize the blog anywhere, and am not on Twitter/X or Facebook etc), but I have always taken the view that “one human soul is a big audience“.

There is a good possibility that that dog will be the most welcome border-crosser, and the least problematic.

Risible how System political scribblers, ivory-tower academics etc really still think that elections in the 2020s are still won by ridiculous local political footsoldiers knocking on doors, disturbing and and irritating householders, or by the voters reading the absolute shite put out on leaflets etc. This is 2024, not 1924…

John Rentoul seems unsure. He neither endorses nor dissents. He probably imagines that people actually read those (mostly) LibLabCon leaflets at election-time. Wrong; most, maybe 99%, go in the bin unread.

As for “average age 61, opposed to net zero“, what about “almost all (real) British” (as well)?

As far as I know, the Kiev regime has not claimed any successes since its very costly incursion into the Kursk region of Russia a few months ago.

I just re-read the blog post about the infamous New Zealand massacre, which happened nearly 6 years ago, in 2019. Apparently, that blog post has had a rather small, disappointingly-small, number of hits; frankly, I think it is still worth reading. Anyway, here it is:

Even if Israel were to kill a million non-Jewish women, children, and other non-combatants (and the Israelis are well on the way, even in the past 15 months), many, perhaps most, Jews in both Israel and the West (including the UK) will respond to the expressed horror of others by referring back to the several hundreds killed by the Hamas assault of 7 October 2023.

A 15-month mechanized killing-machine operation, compared to an attack in one relatively small part of Israel abutting Gaza, which latter attack lasted a few hours, or a day or so.

Now the Israeli state is basically killing the surviving population in Gaza, via cold, hunger, destruction of hospitals, removal of help, medical aid, shelter, and also by randomly killing Gazan civilians of all ages.

No doubt, Israel will eventually settle the bulk, maybe the whole, of Gaza with militant Jews from places such as the slums of Brooklyn, or American/Australian/whatever suburbia.

At present, the Israelis are doing to Gaza exactly what the Romans did to defeated Carthage, but worse, because they are not even providing the survivors of the Gaza slaughter anywhere to go. Look at this report from the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz:

If there is one (now-ex-) politician I despise, it is Clegg. In 2010, a gullible voting public gave him enough MPs to demand electoral reform. Gordon Brown was willing to give him the halfway house of AV (Alternative Vote) at once (in 2010) without even having to hold a referendum; then later a referendum on real proportional representation, in return for basic LibDem support in the Commons for a minority Labour government.

That could have changed everything, but Clegg and his pathetic LibDem crew sold out to the fake “Conservatives” under David Cameron-Levita, and for what? Ministerial jobs, red boxes, government cars, higher salaries, and the fiction that the LibDems were finally “in government” in a meaningful way. That and, as a figleaf, a rigged AV Referendum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_United_Kingdom_Alternative_Vote_referendum

Clegg and his LibDem crew acquiesced in all the terrible and damaging policies carried out by the part-Jews Cameron-Levita and Osborne between 2010 and 2015, then jumped ship to work (at a salary in the millions) for the Jew Zuckerberg at Facebook in California.

Someone completely venal, and completely useless, with neither honour nor integrity.

Incidentally, “Shortly ahead of the election, Clegg was asked about his own expenses by Andrew Neil of the BBC. Clegg allegedly claimed the full amount permissible under the Additional Cost Allowance, including claims for food, gardening and redecorating his second home. The Telegraph also said Clegg claimed £80 for international call charges.” [Wikipedia].

He took every penny he could despite his inherited family monies and trust fund, and despite both he and his wife being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds annually via salaries and (possibly) more legitimate expenses claims. The “food allowance”, by the way, was (until done away with sometime after 2010) a boondoggle via which MPs could claim up to about £500 a month, no questions asked or receipts required, “for food”. Many MPs, like Clegg, and like that horrible Jewish-lobby puppet Tom Watson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Watson,_Baron_Watson_of_Wyre_Forest], claimed the full amount (worth at least £950 a month in the money of 2025) every single month.

My tentative opinion on that is that Trump is someone who likes to present himself as someone who gets things done. If Russia stays firm, Trump will offer more, probably.

From the Russian side, all that matters is whether Trump continues to give arms, ammunition, and money to the Kiev regime. There are three possibilities— more, less, or the same. “Less” can be split into “some” or “none”. My money is on “less” (but still “some”). That would mean that, in view of Russia’s superiority in numbers, arms, ammunition, and money, as well as having the backstop of both tactical and strategic nuclear weapons, Russian forces will continue to advance steadily in Eastern Ukraine during 2025.

As often said on this blog, Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

Having said that, it is tragic that the Russian forces seemed pathetically incapable of executing a swift “Blitzkrieg for the sake of mercy” in early 2022, when the whole of Eastern Ukraine, as well as Odessa and Kiev, might easily have been taken with minimal loss of life and minimal damage generally.

Wilfully naive. The clue is in the name (Labour Friends of Israel)…

Seems as if making a cheap Jewish TV-comedian “President” of Ukraine and de facto generalissimo was not such a good idea…

More seriously, for how long can the Kiev-regime forces continue to suffer such losses? 1,000+ per day. That’s huge. Even if it is claimed that Russia is also losing enormous numbers, Russia has a far larger population; the likelihood is that Russian losses are anyway not as catastrophic as those on the other side.

Trump’s actions as US President will be key to how fast the Kiev-regime front continues to crumble. It is very unlikely that Trump will continue the open-handed Biden policy. There will certainly be no increase in the supply of arms, ammunition, and money to Kiev; there is every chance that the supply will diminish, and it may stop altogether.

Any peace agreement acceptable to the Russian side will probably involve the forces of the Kiev regime falling back on Kiev, at least, and across the entire front falling back across the Dnieper.

That alone will not solve the problem of Kiev itself; nor that of Odessa. It may be that a solution is to make them both “free cities” not organically part of either state.

Russia is probably willing to accept the above, so long as the rump Ukraine state (centred, arguende, on Lvov) does not join NATO.

Whether the present Kiev regime would accept such a peace is uncertain, but if the front continues to crumble, Zelensky —now ruling unconstitutionally, having cancelled elections— may have little choice. He is running out of “soldiers” (press-ganged cannon-fodder), his “state” is almost entirely dependent on Western aid (and the charity of NGOs and innumerable Western individuals), and Russia is forging ahead in terms of arms and numbers of men.

The only hope for Zelensky’s regime, now that the USA and most EU states are rowing back from the real peril of nuclear war, is that Russia implodes, and Putin is deposed (and then replaced by someone less determined). If that is going to happen, it will have to happen during 2025; after that, Russian forces will be at the gates of Kiev anyway.

Jess Phillips is a political fraud. Also, a very odd and degenerate woman. My assessment of her from over 5 years ago:

Incidentally,

How the police waste money

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/01/coventry-woman-who-vanished-52-years-ago-found-alive-and-well

A woman who went missing 52 years ago has been found alive and well after police released a grainy photograph as part of an appeal, solving one of Britain’s longest-running missing person cases.

Sheila Fox, now 68, disappeared from Coventry in 1972 when she was 16. At the time, West Midlands police said she had been living with her parents and could have been in a relationship with a man. Officers said they were keeping an open mind, believing she may have moved out of the area.

On Sunday, West Midlands police launched a fresh appeal to help find Fox, releasing a photograph of her from around the time of her disappearance on their website and social media.

Within hours of it going out, members of the public had got in touch with information, and on Wednesday police officers confirmed that Fox was alive and well. They said she was living in another part of the country.

[Guardian]

So the police decided to try to find a woman who (obviously intentionally) had wanted to live a different life, and who disappeared from her usual life 52 years ago, in 1972.

Why is public money being wasted like this?

If there are indications of “foul play”, then by all means try to find a missing person a year after disappearance; indeed, maybe 10 years, or even 20 years later. After that, better to draw a line under it.

In fact, as far as actual crimes are concerned, I believe that there should be more limitations of time than presently exist. Most magistrates’ court matters already have (and have had since 1980) a 6-month limitation period, which saves the courts and police from getting clogged by relatively trivial matters going back years.

Stupid Theresa May (Conservative Friends of Israel member) changed that in part, in respect of offences under Communications Act 2003, s.127 (a “bad law” anyway); such offences are now (sometimes) justiciable up to 3 years from commission, but all that has done is to embolden malicious nuisances, such as the Jewish “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], to nag the weak police and CPS to investigate and prosecute, pointlessly, tweets or blog posts years after they were allegedly posted. See my own free speech trial for example:

The whole purpose —wrongheaded anyway— of the legislation in question was to deter and punish “grossly offensive” tweets etc more or less at, or not long after, the time when they were published, not to enable malicious trolls to get the police and CPS to bring silly and pointless prosecutions years after the material comments or remarks were allegedly posted online.

The present systemic delay in court proceedings also means that an allegedly unlawful tweet or blog post published today, in early January 2025, might not be charged until early 2028, and might not come to court until late 2028, or 2029, or even, in extreme cases, 2030. Ridiculous.

Many countries have time limitation even for serious cases, even including such crimes as murder. Japan, for one. Also, many states of the USA.

Yes, it does mean that a few criminals, even murderers, are never prosecuted, merely by reason of effluxion of time, but “hard cases make bad law“, as we have seen in many of the laws passed in the UK in the past 20-30 years. The minds of police and prosecutors should focus on cases of (real) crime in the present world, not possible crimes committed years or even decades ago.

Historical note: British demographics

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/jan/01/scandinavians-came-to-britain-long-before-vikings-and-anglo-saxons-finds-study

People with Scandinavian ancestry were in Britain long before the Anglo-Saxons or the Vikings turned up, researchers have found after studying the genetics of an ancient Roman buried in York.

Instead of considering all of the genetic differences between populations, the new method focuses on relatively recent mutations within genomes – arising, for example, in the past 30,000 years or so – allowing the relationships between genetically similar populations to be explored in greater detail.

Among other findings, the team was able to shed new light on the migration of Germanic groups early in the first millennium, revealing at least two waves of migration from northern Germany or Scandinavia into western, central and eastern Europe.”

MP: Another anti-state decision by Zelensky.

Ukraine will face major problems due to the suspension of Russian gas transit, said Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmytruk. ” Kiev’s losses are colossal. Ukraine will lose transit revenues, which previously amounted to $800 million per year ,” he added.

Dmytruk said that the Ukrainian authorities will try to compensate for the loss at the expense of domestic consumers, but “none of it will work.” He noted that this is another anti-state decision by Vladimir Zelensky.

Of course, it seems odd that, during the currency of such a bitter conflict, the Russians have been pumping gas across Kiev-regime territory to Central and Western Europe for 3 years, with the full agreement of the Kiev regime, and paying the Kiev regime handsomely for facilitating that and for not interfering, in effect.

It’s a mad world, but that arrangement suited both sides; a “Devil’s alternative”, if you like.

Volker: Ukraine may be obliged not to return territories controlled by Russian military.

Former US Ambassador to Kiev Kurt Volker said that Ukraine may be forced not to try to return territories that came under Russian control during the Special Military Operation.

He explained: “Ukraine may be obligated not to try to return them. We will certainly see obligations or an understanding that it will not be returned to Ukraine by military means.

According to him, at the same time, the West will not recognize Moscow’s territorial acquisitions. Some Western media outlets have reported that Vladimir Zelensky is allegedly ready to end the conflict without returning to Ukraine the territories controlled by the Russian military.

Endgame?

In the General Election of 2024, over 40% of people decided not to vote. Many, perhaps most, of those non-voters were, in all likelihood, disgusted by the whole “Westminster Monkeyhouse”, by all System parties. Others voted Reform UK, as an angry gesture as much as anything. Things may be getting to the point where a majority of people in the UK, especially in England and Wales, consider elections a rigged waste of time.

It may be that only the present repression, MI5/police snooping, severe prison sentences, and the relative unavailability of weapons etc, are keeping the lid on more, and more-directed, incidences of uprising.

Only social nationalism can offer real hope, yet there exists no political party of any size offering people that as an electoral alternative.

The System might be able to relax, were its governments and ministers, such as the government led by “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer, competent or lucky. Such is, however, not the case.

NATO will be demilitarized for a decade in the event of a conflict with Russia and China , said American military expert Will Shriver. “

In a conventional conflict against China and Russia, NATO would exhaust all its stockpiles of missiles of all types, lose dozens of large warships and hundreds of its best aircraft – and all in less than a month ,” he added.

The UK should stay out of any such conflict which, if it starts, might well go nuclear, finishing our country forever.

Having said that, if NATO were to lose such a conventional war, part of the ensuing peace agreement might —speculating rather much— involve the demilitarization of the UK under a properly British but pro-Russian, or not-anti-Russian, government, perhaps a social-national one. That might actually be better for most British people than where we are now.

The destruction wrought by Israeli forces in Gaza can truly be called “Biblical” in both scale and intent, as when the tribes mentioned in the Old Testament fought genocidal wars.

It is idle for Jew-Zionist lawyers (ludicrously, often those who pose as “human rights” specialists) to say that, because of X, Y, and Z, the Jewish/Israeli destruction and continuing slaughter in Gaza (for nearly 15 months now) is notgenocide” for various hair-splitting reasons. What has happened, what is still happening, speaks for itself.

Look at what has happened all around Israel/Palestine for years, for decades. “They” always bring degeneration and destruction to others.

Every day, more of the same. The names of the villages mean little to most people, even in the former Soviet Union, but the upshot is that, every single day, Russian forces advance by a few miles, as the Kiev-regime forces fall back.

On that front, once the Russian forces, pushing north, get close to Kharkov, the Kiev-regime forces will be squeezed from at least two sides. Eventually, Kharkov must fall.

Once Kharkov falls, the whole of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper) will fall to Russian control.

Incidentally, though Kharkov itself is not very well-known to the Western public, it is the second-largest city in Ukraine, and the 19th-largest in Europe (by population).

Here’s how all Zionist arguments collapse upon the slightest examination: “We were here first”: no, the Canaanites were, and many Palestinians have Canaanite DNA (& Jewish DNA as well, per Ben Gurion himself). Now prove yourself each of you is a direct descendant of someone who inhabited this land!

“We’re returning to our homeland” so said the French & Italians in Libya & Algeria “we are returning to & recovering Roman lands.” “But the West Bank is ours b/c of the bible”, that’s not how international law works, its utmost principle is a prohibition on acquisition of territory by force; i.e. you can’t just steal land by conquest & military power anymore!

“God promised it to us”; a) good luck arguing this in court. B) then why did he take it away from you for 2000 years? “We had a Jewish kingdom on this land for about 250 years”: and Muslims have been sovereign on this land for 1400 years! Does Greece have a right today to occupy Turkey’s Istanbul/Constantinople b/c it was once part of the Byzantine empire?

“The world gave us Israel in 1947”: no they didn’t & they don’t have the right to! The UN then had only 57 members out of 193 member states today. Even then, & despite intense US/Zionist lobbying & intimidation, only 33 states voted for (mostly white) the Partition Plan as a proposal. The partition resolution was never voted on at the UN Security Council.

“But we were persecuted in Europe for centuries culminating with the Holocaust”: but why should I pay the price of European savagery & antisemitism?

“We have a right to return 2,000 years later”, then why doesn’t my grandma have that right only 76 years later?

That’s why no state has a “right to exist”. Because who/what gave them that right?

Despite all this, Palestinians unrequitedly recognised Israel over 3 decades ago, accepted its existence as a fait accompli, & accepted less than 22% of our homeland; & that is called today “Palestinian maximalism/rejectionism”, while Israel offering us caged bantustans worse than apartheid South Africa is call “a generous offer”!

[Ashkenazic Jews in Jerusalem, c. 1885. God’s sake! Just look at them!]

New research suggests that the majority of the world’s modern Jewish population is descended mainly from people from ancient Turkey, rather than predominantly from elsewhere in the Middle East.

The new research suggests that most of the Jewish population of northern and eastern Europe – normally known as Ashkenazic Jews – are the descendants of Greeks, Iranians and others who colonized what is now northern Turkey more than 2000 years ago and were then converted to Judaism, probably in the first few centuries AD by Jews from Persia. At that stage, the Persian Empire was home to the world’s largest Jewish communities.

According to research carried out by the geneticist, Dr Eran Elhaik of the University of Sheffield, over 90 per cent of Ashkenazic ancestors come from that converted partially Greek-originating ancient community in north-east Turkey.

A more sophisticated, and more lucrative, form of cannibalism.

“New Syria… Terrorist Al-Nusra gangs arrest children in Aleppo province for belonging to the Alawite sect.

Three facts: Libya was better under Gaddafi. Iraq was better under Saddam Hussein. Syria was better under Assad.

Not that any of the three leaders mentioned was a particularly pleasant or “good” person, and all did very unpleasant or “bad” things, but we should decide matters of politics and geopolitics on the basis of what is the least-worst situation for populations and the world as a whole, not on the basis of unrealistic hopes (leading to violent chaos).

In fact, you can add Adolf Hitler and Germany to the list.

Could Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet be less competent?

Box-ticking former bureaucrat lawyer Starmer himself, Rachel Reeves the fake “economist” (aka “Rachel from Accounts” and/or the customer complaints dept, Halifax Building Society), “Refugees Welcome” idiot, expenses cheat and would-be dictator, Yvette Cooper, thick-as-two-short-planks “Deputy Prime Minister” Angela Rayner (and the rest).

It has already, after 6 months, got to the point where it is glaringly obvious that this fake “Labour” government has no more competence, indeed maybe even less, than had those of Sunak, Truss, “Boris”-idiot, May, and Cameron-Levita.

Interesting. The best aspect of that, were it to happen, would be the dismay amid the “woke” rabble of new Starmer-Labour MPs, over 150 of them, as they lose their seats and are forced to contemplate having to go back to doing mundane and probably badly-paid jobs again.

Fox has been, perhaps is still on, a socio-political journey, starting off as unthinking System-loyalist, then as conservative-inclined immigration sceptic (but pro-Israel, pro the Jewish lobby etc), and now seems to be moving towards a more social-national position, like many others.

[American-oriented but still relevant to British socio-political attitudes]

Europe’s largest economies, from 1961 to 2024. Interesting to see how some of the countries have improved or downgraded. Turkey, in particular, registered growth in the mid-sections of the list; East Germany/DDR was fairly high until the 1980s, when it fell like a stone. West Germany was high, and indeed at the top even before it absorbed the Eastern part in the 1990s, and has been pre-eminent since then. The Soviet Union as a whole was the largest economy overall for some time, but fell back in the 1980s, after which Russia started to climb, despite missing the other former Soviet republics, and has for some time been one of the five strongest economies (overall), in the top five. The UK has been in the top five consistently.

Of course, were that graphic to be expressed per capita rather than in gross terms, the situation would look very different.

Even after the Art Deco era, America was pre-eminent in terms of confident presentation at least, until the 1960s. Look, e.g., at a film such as North by Northwest (1959), with its ambience of, inter alia, Modern Movement architecture, as well as, later in the film, the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright.

That refers to the egregiously poor, dishonest, and negligent behaviour exhibited by “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who is now supposedly domiciled in Israel, though he seems to spend much of his time in the UK, either making money out of clients (who seem rather poorly served), or thinking up stunts to publicize “antisemitism” and at the same time make money out of possible “compensation” (as in the failed stunt at the Reginald D. Hunter show at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, when he cooked up a plot with his wife, Mandy Blumenthal, and Daily Mail junior scribbler Sabrina Miller). See

My own opinion is that, after the contrived Jew-Zionist storm that ensued after the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal reprimanded Lewis and fined him in 2018, the SRA is running a bit scared of the Jew-Zionist lobby and their characteristic contrived “claque” behaviour.

Not again?! Simon Myerson getting the facts and the law muddled again! What a team he and “Mark Lewis Lawyer” would make! Oh, no, wait…

Well, Myerson was sacked as a Recorder (p/t judge) after not very long. As for “KC”, I have noted before on the blog how it signifies not very much these days: in 1938, the later Lord Denning took silk, with three others, I believe, but in 2024 no less than one hundred silks (KCs) were appointed. “More will mean worse“, as Kingsley Amis said once in another context.

What about the UK? Dr. Miller says nothing (in that tweet) about the UK. Maybe afraid of the “usual” troublemakers making contrived complaints to the police etc.

That idiot seriously thinks that Britain was “dominant“, internationally, about 24 years ago! What planet is he on? Britain was then not only within the trammels of the EU etc, but was the “poodle” of the then Bush jnr. administration in the United States.

It really is about time that the British people demanded a lot more from the “security and intelligence” bods, or just dumped them, or most of them.

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

What has weakened Britain has been a combination of the migration-invasion, together with the changing demographics of the UK, the sliding standards in all areas of society, cultural degeneration, and the domination of the UK’s government, political life, courts, policing and mass media, inter alia, by the Israel lobby. Oh, and the near-collapse and uselessness of our armed forces (etc).

The “CAA” cabal, effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, can be called (as blogged about in the past) a malicious little cabal. They threaten a lot, suborn police and CPS officials, are a damned nuisance, but accomplish little even by their own standards.

They should not, of course, be treated as a charity. For one thing, they are directly political; for another, the activity of the “CAA” exhibits no “public benefit”.

Is that true (about Myerson being a heavy drinker)? I have no idea, though if true it might partly explain his vituperative social media activity, which was at least part of the reason he was sacked (sub nomresigned”) as a Recorder earlier in 2024. He certainly seems to stay up late, tweeting. Drinking too? As I say, I have no idea.

Saw an episode which had the former MP and Cabinet minister Justine Greening on one team. Her ignorance, though frankly unsurprising to me, should be regarded as shocking in a former Cabinet minister. She even thought that Fulham is south of the river Thames! Remarkable, in view of the fact that she lives, or lived, in Putney…

Strange woman. Once involved with the ghastly mixed-race “Conservative” activist and notorious bully, Mark Clarke (featured in the past on the blog and now, like Justine Greening herself, politically —and maybe otherwise— washed-up). I read that she is now what the Russians call a “lesbianka“, though that may or may not be the case.
