Epstein files etc

I see msm scribblers and talking heads (e.g. Dan Hodges) pushing the idea that the notorious Jew, Epstein, was working for “the KGB” (I presume they mean the SVR, the KGB as such having been notionally closed down, and reorganized, about 35 years ago, in 1991).

Highly unlikely. Far more likely (see my blog post about all that, below) is that Epstein and all his works were run by, or closely connected with, Israeli Intelligence: see

Over the years, I have seen Young and his “Free Speech Union” completely ignore the anti-free-speech “lawfare” being perpetrated by the fanatical Jew-Zionist liars, perjurers, snoopers, and manipulators, including the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (CAA), “UK Lawyers for Israel” (UKLFI), “Community Security Trust” (CST) etc.

Anyone attacked by the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby finds no support from the “Free Speech Union”. It’s a fake. So is Toby Young.

The Ukraine war is terrible, the attacks (by both sides) on civilian areas also terrible, but Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

More about the Gorton and Denton by-election

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dr. Goebbels…

I have advocated for 9 years, since the blog started, establishment of “safe zones” for white English/British people in the less-accessible parts of our countryside, and in particular in the South West. It was a major part of why I started the blog at all.

England awake!

As earlier blogged, and previously, so many young people could have been save by a little judicious “racism”… but the System fills their heads with “multikulti” garbage and (((fake history)))…

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

…and the so-called “Ukrainian rent boys” scandal rumours are not going away either…

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

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

Guardian report about the Gorton and Denton by-election

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Last updated 11 minutes ago

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

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

[Guardian headline]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Guardian]

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

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

Jewish Reform UK group

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

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

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

[Jewish News]

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 words…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Channel 12 is an Israeli TV station.

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

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

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

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

Comment unnecessary, I think.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It is what “they” do: see

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

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

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

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

Gorton and Denton by-election

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

Quite possible. Not unlikely.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Kiev regime is doomed.

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

Saturday quiz

Well, this week 6/10, trumping political journalist John Rentoul’s 4/10. I did not know the answers to questions 8 and 9, and could not think quickly enough to get the right answers to questions 1 and 4 (which I “really knew” somewhere or other). So 6/10…

Well, looks like the first sign of a thaw…

It is a long time since I studied Public International Law, I think 1985-86, but if I remember aright, seizure of a ship on the high seas (i.e. not in territorial waters) has always been regarded as an act of war. Of course, in many non-oceanic sea-waterways, the waters will be territorial waters, complicating the issue (that’s assuming I remember my studies, of forty years ago, correctly).

The Kiev regime is losing anything up to 2,000 soldiers a day. Perhaps more commonly, 1,000 per day. Still huge. The press-gangs hunt down suitable “recruits” on the streets of towns and cities, but to be “recruited” means brutal though brief training, then a one-way ride to the crumbling front lines of the regime.

[“This is important. The Restore Britain team has been doing vast research on the number of arrests by the following nationalities across every police force. The Government refuses to release the data, so we’ve found it ourselves. Afghanistan. Albania. Eritrea. Iran. Iraq. Syria. In Kent for example, Afghan arrests have soared from 35 in 2017 to 174 in 2024. Albanians? In Kent alone, 35 in 2017 to 413 in 2024. Albanians in Norfolk? Up from 9 in 2017 to a staggering 112 in 2024. We have the data from right across Britain, and we are going to release it in full. These numbers, when fully published, will destroy the remaining argument for mass immigration.“]

I wonder whether Rupert Lowe might have been better to have stayed with Reform, whatever its flaws, until after the next General Election, for tactical reasons.

[“The Times appears to have fully entered Cuckoo Land It can no longer read the mood of the British people Instead of acknowledging how the tectonic plates have moved behind Reform and a repudiation of the Westminster-BBC consensus it clings to the fantasy of a Tory/Uniparty recovery What The Times means when it calls for a return to “solid ground on the pragmatic centre-right” is a place where the British people are not allowed to criticise mass immigration, the collapse of our borders, woke ideology, the ECHR, or a long list of other disasters it’s brand of Boomer Liberal Toryism has inflicted on Britain People are sick of being told to “avoid the culture wars”, “intolerance”, and “populists” by the very people who jammed their failing project down everybody’s throats for years and now have the audacity to criticise those who are actually trying to fix the mess they have created Would like to hear less from the architects of this dismal project and much more from bold new columnists who actually represent the mood of modern Britain …”]

Farage should not welcome Con Party retreads into Reform.

As I have long predicted on the blog, Reform is rapidly becoming part of the System.

The UK is now a banana republic without bananas (and also stuck with an unwanted and/or pointless monarchy).

Oh, great…let’s reduce the IQ level of the country still further…

Our animal friends.

The Jews (meaning the extreme Jewish/Zionist lobby, who are effectively —and sometimes literally— agents of Israel) have been cheated of their full pound of flesh. Now, despite the West Midlands Police Chief Constable having been forced to resign, “they” still whine and complain via, inter alia, propaganda sheets such as the Telegraph, in which “their” influence is pervasive.

Matt Goodwin is part of the whole puppet-show of non-Jews (as far as I know) who nonetheless play the part of being puppets for the (((puppetmasters))) pulling the strings. To me, that is the disgrace.

Philp, yet another shameless Israel-puppet.

The politicians, civil servants, “activists” etc who mandated this should be rooted out, identified, and punished.

Rare that I agree with Dan Hodges, but he surely expresses here what very many are thinking.

As for Jenrick himself, his former actions in government proved that he has no real principles, is corrupt, and (also) tied-in with the Jewish-Zionist Israel-lobby element. He is just not a decent person overall.

Julius Caesar once said, “better to be first man in Gaul than second in Rome“, not a sentiment that I like, and Jenrick obviously also disagrees with Caesar.

Had Jenrick stayed in the Con Party, he might have replaced Carpetbagger Kemi as leader, had he retained his Commons seat, whereas in Reform UK, he may retain his Commons seat as a Reform MP, but will never be leader of Reform.

I suppose he calculates that, if he can stay on as MP after 2029, Farage (as notional PM) will appoint him to Cabinet.

Quite…

I agree, as far as the headline statement is concerned; the devil, though, is in the detail. I have no confidence that Reform, suffused with pro-Israel and Jewish-lobby connections and views (not to mention non-European candidates and officers) and unwilling to do the “full monty” of what might be necessary to save this country and its people, has the ability to rule properly, or to accomplish very much.

Brava!

Brava!

Don’t expect intelligent policy, or any erudition at all (legal or general), from monkey-on-a-stick Lammy.

Talking about “justice delayed”, I have not heard whether the case of the so-called [redacted words...] accused of criminal damage to the property of Starmer-stein (aka “Tel Aviv Keith”) will come to trial this year or not. Seems to have been well and truly kicked down the road. Very odd. I wonder what the truth might be.

Incidentally, while looking for information on the above, I discovered that not only does Starmer’s Jewish wife belong to the Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St. John’s Road, St. John’s Wood, but Starmer himself also belongs to it. I thought only Jews could actually belong, but maybe I am mistaken.

I often used to pass that quite impressive building, which was only a few minutes’ walk from my then home in Little Venice. That was in the 1980s and early 1990s, mainly.

[Liberal Jewish Synagogue, St. John’s Wood Road, London N.W.8]

As, I think, blogged many years ago, I once knew (from about 1979 to about 25 years ago), a girl who converted to Judaism in that synagogue (that particular sect permits that). She had very belatedly discovered, in the early 1990s, that she was of part-Jewish origin (either a half or, perhaps more likely, a quarter). I had already noted something somehow un-English in her looks and attitudes, and she was then told, still in early adulthood, that her parentage was partly Italian. Maybe she was part Italian-Jew, I do not know.

The young lady, as she then was, was very excitable. On thinking that she was part-Italian, suddenly everything at her home was Italian. Food was pasta, wine was Frascati, and the music was either Italian opera or the theme from The Godfather.

She had then become enamoured of everything Irish, and indeed nationalist/Republican Irish. Now her home contained Irish flags, books of prose or poetry by everyone from Yeats to the latest Irish authors, and the music consisted mainly of rebel songs from the Wolfe Tones and others. She even became seriously interested in Irish Republican politics, to the extent of meeting Gerry Adams in West Belfast at some gathering or other (he apparently said to her that “we don’t think you are a spy“, comfortingly enough). She even ended up having an affair with a leading (and married) Sinn Fein person who had been in the I.R.A. and also been, at one point, imprisoned in the UK for serious terrorist offences.

The Frascati had been replaced by Irish whiskey and Guinness.

The upstairs tenant of her small house in South London, a pleasant but slightly dim fellow who worked at Burton’s clothing store in Oxford Street, expressed his concern that anti-terror police might raid the house and that he “might get shot by mistake“! Thankfully, that never happened.

After that episode of Hibernophilia, or connected with it, that still-youngish woman had become interested in Roman Catholicism. Now the Irish political stuff had to share her domestic space with plaster saints, books about martyrs and religious philosophers, and so on.

It was then that her father dropped the bombshell that she was partly-Jewish. Suddenly, she was taking instruction at “schul” (i.e. the St. John’s Wood synagogue) to convert to Judaism, and the remaining Italian, Irish, and Roman Catholic books and bits and pieces were being nudged out by the new wave of Jewish items: a small Israeli flag, one of those multi-armed candleabra, books about Jew “holocaust” “survivors”, Jew comedians (Ben Elton) and films on video with a Jewish element (I recall watching Leon the Pig Farmer with her [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_the_Pig_Farmer].

That woman was not too pleased with me when I joked that the way in which the Jewish/Israeli bits and pieces had taken over most of her space from the previous “owners” reflected what had happened in UK society over the decades.

In fact, her general character deteriorated quite a lot in that period.

Incidentally, not having met her since 2002 or 2003, I do not know whether she ever became officially Jewish, and I have no idea with what or with whom might be her “current infatuation“, as George Smiley puts it (referring to his flighty wife) in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

Life is very strange at times. Perhaps we shall learn how strange it can be when that Starmer-connected trial proceeds, if it ever does.

Blast from the past

“I saw the following from a blog post of about 3 years ago:

“Moral Alignment” test

Saw this: https://www.idrlabs.com/moral-alignment/test.php.

You are 55.8% good, 18.3% chaotic, making you neutral good.

Not quite a rousing vote of approbation, but not as harshly marked as my ideological enemies would prefer.

Neutral Good

People who are Neutral Good are guided by their conscience and typically act altruistically, with only secondary regard for whether their actions are lawful or in line with cultural expectations or traditions. Neutral Good individuals have no problems with what is lawful as such, and nor are they rebels by nature, but they believe in furthering kindness and good deeds through whatever means seem necessary to them. If fostering good means supporting an organized society, then that is what must be done. If good can only come about through the overthrow of the existing social order, then so be it. For many who are Neutral Good, insistence on either lawfulness or rebellion is seen as detriments to or distractions from the greater goal of promoting true kindness in the world.” [https://www.idrlabs.com/moral-alignment/test.php].

Surprisingly, Electoral Calculus seems to think that Kemi Carpetbagger will retain her own seat, which looks doubtful to me; after all, she only scored 35.6% in 2024 (Lab 30.8%, Reform 14.1%). In many places, Reform is currently polling at 4x or more as compared to where it was at GE2024. If Reform were to score even around 30% or so in a tight 3-horse race, it might well unseat her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_West_Essex#Elections_in_the_2020s.

I am of the firm belief that the Conservative Party vote will decline to about 15%, and possibly to 10%, by 2029. Age-demographics, mainly, but also the rise of, and “Conservatization” of, Reform. That latter would put off many voters, but would probably also attract many former Con voters at the same time; hard to quantify.

I agree.

The full, quite long, tweet is well worth reading.

Both halal and kosher slaughter must be totally banned. If that means that the “communities” involved feel unable to remain in the UK, so much the better. Not just a win, not even just a win-win, but a “win-win-win”.

Interesting, not least because the poll indicates that 35% of the voters back either Reform or the more genuine nationalist sentiment presented by Lowe.

The “Overton Window” continues to move.

There is no doubt that, if the USA assumes power over Greenland, the geopolitical position of the USA in the Arctic region will have improved, though it already has a base there; however, that presumed geopolitical advantage will have been bought (perhaps literally, if the Greenlanders are to be bribed) at the cost of (also) US relations with Denmark and most of the rest of Europe.

Like something out of Stalin’s Russia (arguably, though Stalin’s secret police usually tried to abduct people by stealth); perhaps more akin to the forced “recruitment” drives by the Kiev regime.

Elon Musk is not wrong. Shocking, and also embarrassing for the UK.

Most of the repression of free speech in the UK, 90% or more, maybe even 99%, is driven by the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, and is carried out by, or by reason of, the “activism” (suborning by, demanding by, whining by) Israel-connected and Israeli Embassy-connected orgs such as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].

The pro-Israel Jews call it “lawfare”, meaning the abuse of English and Scottish laws, and legal systems, including prosecutors and police, to shut down views which they want silenced.

More applicable to the UK than USA.

I would say that there should be free speech, i.e. speech and other expression, free of criminal sanction, and on any social, political, medical, scientific, or historical topic. The only spoken or written words that should attract criminal sanction would be direct threats to individuals, or to small groups (e.g. the local sports team, a particular team of Sky News or BBC News journalists, a specified individual church building or other specified religious building); there may be a few exceptions to that general rule of freedom, e.g. official secrets.

I cannot agree with Goodwin on several topics, including a few expressed there, in that short clip, but he is right about Starmer-stein’s fake Labour. Hopeless, anti-British, and incompetent to boot.

That interference would make little impact were a goodly part of the Iranian population not thoroughly tired of the socially and religiously backward rule of the mullahs (in power for the past 46 years).

The only statements suggesting otherwise came from some Western media outlets, which were later refuted. Then follows a second, even more blatant lie: Trump claimed that the oil was being unloaded. This did not happen. The tanker was empty. This is clearly visible in the photo published by the US European Command and is confirmed by numerous media reports, which say the same thing.“]

Hard to know what to believe, but it is hard to imagine why the Americans would seize an oil tanker empty of any oil, unless their intelligence was mistaken (or unless the operation is just shadow-boxing).

Whatever the truth of that, the fact remains that this action is state piracy. How can that be denied?

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/breaking-idiot-brothers-leave-teen-36521826

Two “idiot” brothers left a teenage girl critically injured while racing each other at 90mph, a court has heard.

Harrison Taylor, 19, and his 21-year-old brother Henry were racing on the Sandbanks peninsula in Poole, Dorset, when the incident happened at around 1am on Boxing Day in 2023. Harrison was in a Mercedes A200 and his older brother in a BMW 135i. The court heard the brothers had been gifted the powerful cars to help them get over their parents splitting up.

The court heard Harrison was going “pedal to the metal” when he lost control of the Mercedes on a bend and collided with a gatepost of a multi-million pound mansion. The BMW then ploughed into the back of the Mercedes, sending it flying forwards into a garden wall.

Mia Savage, a front seat passenger in the Mercedes, was trapped in the crumpled vehicle and had to be cut free from the wreckage as her mother, who had been called to the scene of the accident, watched on. The girl, who was 17 at the time, was airlifted to hospital with life-changing injuries that included a shattered left femur, a fractured neck, broken arm, eight broken ribs and severe internal bleeding from a severed spleen, split diaphragm and liver laceration.

The teen underwent hours of complex surgery and was in an induced coma for a week. She was then in traction for her arms and one of her legs and had a fixed neck brace for 12 weeks.

She also lost out on a sports scholarship at the private Clayesmore School due to her injury. Following her ordeal, she was unable to return to school for months and ended up with lesser grades which meant she was not accepted at her chosen university.

The two brothers pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and arrived at Bournemouth Crown Court today, but they avoided being sent to jail. Judge Robert Pawson let them off with suspended sentences due to their young ages and previous good character. He banned them from driving for three years.

Miss Savage’s mother Karen Bulgarelli, a lawyer, said she was disappointed with the outcome. She said: “They have ruined three people’s lives but they are all clapping each other on the back that they’re walking out.”

Regular readers of the blog will know that I am far from a “hanger and flogger”, and there is certainly a place, often a place, for leniency and/or mercy in sentencing, but the victim in the instant case has been disrespected, and not given at least the satisfaction that the perpetrators have been punished.

While hearing what the learned judge said relating to the youth, clean record, and absence of alcohol/drug usage by the defendants, their egregious behaviour has left a relatively-innocent victim in a poor condition, and with far poorer prospects than was the case prior to the “accident”.

Had I ever become a judge, I should (I think) have been generally clement, but not in a case of this sort, so the defendants in this case are lucky that they were sentenced by the judge mentioned, and not by me.
