[Early 1940s: French girlfriend of an Untersturmfuhrer (2nd lieutenant) of SS-Totenkopf, wearing his uniform tunic and cap, presumably as a joke, and to have her photograph taken]

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/30/russia-ukraine-swap-prisoners-exchange-deal

Russia and Ukraine swap at least 300 prisoners in exchange deal. Some of the freed Ukrainians had been held since war’s early days, while Russians were captured in Ukraine’s Kursk offensive.”

I am sure that they are all happy to go home. Incidentally, I notice that the Ukrainian prisoners shown in that photo released by the Kiev-regime side look well; not just happy but also in good health. It rather gives the lie to the stories, put about by the Zelensky regime, that Ukrainian POWs are being starved, brutalized etc by the Russians.

The latter tweeter, a propagandist for Israel and the Jewish-Zionist lobby [https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/alex-hearn-claims-to-oppose-antisemitism-but-undermines-the-fight-against-it/] says that “antisemitism” is a crime, which is not the case in England and Wales (or the rest of the UK). That has been re-iterated on several occasions by judges at both magistrates’ court and Crown Court level. Incidentally, the same is true of so-called “holocaust” “denial” (historical revision or revisionism re. some events of the early/mid 1940s).

I have no idea what Dutch law may say about that, though Jewish influence has always been pervasive in the Netherlands, a result no doubt of the country’s history of banking and commerce.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14236783/Saudi-Arabias-NEOM-suicide-rape-murder-report-claims.html

A report has claimed that migrant camps built to house construction workers building Saudi Arabia‘s $1trillion NEOM megacity are ‘plagued by gang rape, attempted murder and suicides’.

More than 100,000 workers, mainly from countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh, live in the nightmarish camps where crime and drug use allegedly run rife.

If you took away the unmerited unearned riches the Gulf Arabs have had from the oil and gas found, developed, and refined by Europeans (including European-origined Americans), they would be back riding camels and living in tents. Men of straw.

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.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fela_Sowande]

Played today on Radio 3. The BBC presenter made an apparent error, saying that the composer served in the RAF during the Second World War. If Wikipedia is to be believed (and its version does seem far more credible), Sowande in fact worked at that time as musical adviser and composer in the Colonial Film Unit of the Ministry of Information in London, as well as giving talks on the BBC Africa Service.

Not bad. Showing, at least in my view, the influence of several British composers, including Vaughan Williams.

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).

[Kharkov]

Indeed, 4 of the 10 largest cities in geographic Europe are located in the former Soviet Union (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, and Baku). Minsk is ranked as no.11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_cities_by_population_within_city_limits.

It may seem trivial to be concerned about this very typical 2024 story, but it says something about the decline of Britain over, particularly, the past 20 years, as does the decline of that once-proud chocolate brand, Cadbury’s (now “Cadbury”), bought by a basically Jewish American company (Kraft), then trashed, its production moved to Eastern Europe and Asia, the British factories closed, the British workers sacked, the tradition and pride gone. “Cadbury” is now part of a global brand-owner called Mondelez.

It all betokens a shrinking of horizons, a decline, a sell-out in every way.

Late thoughts on New Year’s Eve

[“Hold up, Guv’nor! 2025 is about to start, and Ian Millard’s still blogging!“]

More seriously

God knows what 2025 will bring to the world, to Europe, to Britain, and to each of us, but we must all keep in mind the necessity for continuing human evolution, and that requires an ethno-cultural and socio-political foundation for a society which, over time, can create the basis for an eventual quantum leap in evolution, a race and society far ahead of any presently in existence.

On that basis, I wish every well-intentioned reader of the blog a Happy New Year!

Who do the Starmer-Labour drones think will occupy those new houses, if ever built? Migrant-invaders, mostly, and/or their offspring. Already, there are huge areas occupied mainly by non-Europeans. Thamesmead, in the “******** of England”, is only one of many.

That may be the only way, in the end.

Incredibly, there are nearly 400,000 Twitter/X members still bothering to follow the “thoughts” of that useless creature, a Nigerian whose parents are NHS consultants; he apparently lives (or lived) in the attic of their house.

Actually, “Femi” [Oluwole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole] is a good example of why “points-based” immigration does not work. His parents would be (under a points-based system, had one existed in the 1980s) allowed in because (presumably) well-educated, professionally qualified etc (one a surgeon, the other a paediatrician). That, however, does not guarantee that the offspring of those allowed in will be of any use to the country!

Femi Oluwole has never yet managed to work an actual job, let alone qualify for any profession or skilled occupation, despite having attended a fee-paying school, and despite having been enabled (by his parents’ affluence) to undertake several “internships” across the UK and Europe after having been awarded a degree in law and French at Nottingham University. His longest stretch of near-work was a year or so heading an EU-funded anti-Brexit operation in London. That was about 7-8 years ago.

Femi Oluwole is now 34 (35 in March 2025) and occasionally appears on platforms such as Sky News as a talking head (every “British” TV discussion, quiz show or whatever apparently now requires at least one black, despite the fact that actual blacks still constitute only about 4% or 5% of the population).

I thought, a couple of years ago, that Oluwole was aiming at becoming a Labour MP, but apparently not, unless he tried but was rejected (I do not know).

I presume that Oluwole makes some kind of living via online clicks etc, as well as by occasional TV appearances.

Oluwole is in fact a completely useless African loudmouth and know-nothing, yet is treated as somehow relevant by Sky News etc. A sign of how sick the “British” msm really is. He represents no-one and nothing, and has nothing of interest to say.

People say “the Holocaust is one of the most well documented events in history,” …. But it’s really not documented at all. In fact when you actually dig into the documents you realize how the evidence points into the other direction. Evidence like

-Hitler never ordered the extermination of the Jews

-the allies never spotted any “killing camps” when doing reconnaissance missions

-the allies broke the German codes and were listening to their messages, and heard nothing about death camps.

-all the “death camps” were only on the Soviet side. How did the allies manage to not find any? Why do we believe the Soviet communist?

-there is no physical evidence that Jews were gassed to death

-the worldwide Jewish population numbers did not decrease.

– the entire holocaust narrative is based on ludicrous constantly changing eye witness testimony

-during the war, the Germans were using the people in concentration camps as their labor force. Killing them literally would have hurt the war effort. This why they wouldn’t do it. “Arbeit Macht frei” which is stated at the gates of Auschwitz means work sets you free. Because it was a work camp…

The same [****] that are lying to you about the USS Liberty, the Iraq War, the conflict in Gaza, are the same [****] lying to you about [‘holocaust’].”

After the disastrous end of the Second World War, the msm has pushed “their” view of whether Hitler was basically right about “their” mentality. What is the verdict?

Israel, food insecurity, and food banks

https://www.thejc.com/lets-eat/meet-the-pair-saving-the-starving-in-jerusalem-pfd37l9k

“Since October 7, Jerusalem’s food security has been in crisis, says food expert Daniella Seltzer. Rising prices, disrupted supply chains, and the continued impact of war on the workforce has made it harder for many to access food. But Seltzer’s programme, Food Rescuers, is stepping up to the challenge, working to tackle food insecurity and waste.

The Food Rescuers collect surplus produce that would otherwise be discarded and redistribute it to those in need. With a poverty rate of 40 per cent, Jerusalem is one of Israel’s poorest cities, and the Rescuers’ work is sorely needed.”

So Jerusalem has a poverty rate designated as being 40%? Not the picture shown to the world by the Israeli government. I wonder what the corresponding rate for Tel Aviv might be.

Leaving aside the Jewish/Israeli aspect, though, it is true that a huge amount of food is also wasted in the UK. I often buy tins and bottles sold at a quarter, a fifth, even a tenth of the usual price, and placed on a few special shelves in supermarkets. Everything from tins of corn, peeled tomato, and tuna to fruit juices and packs of Evian water. The tins have minor dents at times, and the multi-packs of water may be missing a bottle, but the value is astonishing.

I hope that people generally do as I do when I put items from home, usually tins or jars, and which are within a month or so of the “best before” stamp, in the supermarket food bank bins for people who are struggling.

A society such as the UK should not “need” food banks, and I think that I had never heard of them until the evil government of David Cameron-Levita came to power in 2010, but they are at present necessary, and one can help them without even making any personal sacrifice. Better that a jar of arrabiata pasta sauce goes to a needy person or family, than that it be thrown into landfill.

Incidentally, that Jewish Chronicle report adds that:

As prices rise, vulnerable communities – strictly Orthodox Jewish, Palestinian, refugee, Roma, and asylum seekers – are disproportionately affected. “The government’s food programmes often exclude people in East Jerusalem or non-Hebrew speakers. Even within the Jewish community, strictly Orthodox populations tend to get more support,” she says… “There is systemic racism engrained into the way the country works.”

All of the hospital’s departments are now being bombed by the occupation using all kinds of weapons, using snipers, tanks and quadcopters.” Israeli forces have been launching a series of attacks on the barely functioning Kamal Adwan Hospital in north Gaza, after ordering people inside and around the facility to evacuate. The director of the hospital Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya says the hospital is the only humanitarian service left in northern Gaza. He also said he holds the international community accountable for what is happening, for not intervening in the attacks on the hospital.

Patriotic Alternative

Sam Melia, of Patriotic Alternative, imprisoned in March this year for having organized distribution of socio-political stickers, has been released, though he will remain under licence (monitored, censored etc) for the whole of 2025.

Melia was sentenced in March 2024 to a headline term of 2 years. He has thus been released after nearly 10 months in prison for having organized the distribution of stickers themselves not unlawful in content.

Injustice can take many forms.

Melia will now be able to enjoy Christmas with his wife, the well-known activist Laura Towler, and their two small children.

Incidentally, supporters and well-wishers raised nearly £70,000 for Melia and his wife via GiveSendGo.

I do not belong to Patriotic Alternative (nor to any political organization), but I commend the courage and fortitude of both Melia and Laura Towler.

System politicians and scribblers seem to find the idea that the water industry should be nationalized (re-nationalized) a problem. “Where does the money come from?”, they cry.

I do not recall the same people asking the same question when it comes to rubbish like “Test and Trace”, or any of the other stupid “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic “measures taken”. Nor when it comes to importation of millions of useless parasites from Africa and Asia etc.

Money for necessary work on the water and sewerage system exists, but is presently being wasted on importation of millions of inferior people (and their upkeep, one way and another), on pointless —and in fact dangerous— foreign policy mistakes such as throwing money at the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, and also at literally dozens of shambolic “states” in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Though Powell would never have spelled “dependants” in the American fashion as above. No matter. The quotation is otherwise correct, and accurate in terms of Powell’s prediction. The only thing he got wrong was in the numbers. If as few as 50,000 non-Europeans were to invade the UK in 2024 or 2025, even Reform UK, even the rump of the NF or BNP, indeed even I (perhaps) would be sighing a sigh of relief.

At present well over a million a year are flooding in; about 1.4M. Only a couple of hundred thousand are leaving in the same time period, together with 50,000-100,000 Brits. That means over a million more inhabitants each year, which would be unsustainable even if they were all British, or white Northern European generally. However, a million more a year, of which many, indeed most, are useless, parasitic, criminal, or downright hostile to European culture and people, is indeed mad, just mad. It must lead to the breakdown of society sooner or later, probably sooner.

In fact, as the links clearly show, the father was “typical” in that, despite making millions out of commercial litigation, he supported not only thick-as-two-short-planks would-be black revolutionist Nelson Mandela but also the (other) terrorists (Africans and Jews) put on trial with Mandela in the Rivonia trial of 1963-64 (they intended to start a race war against white European people in South Africa). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivonia_Trial.

Four out of the seven defence advocates were also Jews: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivonia_Trial#Defence_lawyers.

Incidentally, if you look at the tweets of Matthew Stadlen, which I have just been doing (for the first time, I think, certainly the first time for a number of years), you see that he is socio-politically confused. He welcomes the end of the Assad government in Syria, but lashes out at a tweet by Kelvin Mackenzie who makes the point that the 30,000 Syrians now in the UK as asylum-seekers or grantees can now go back.

Likewise, Stadlen praises the open spaces he and his dogs are able to enjoy in southern England, yet wants migrant-invaders to be allowed to arrive unimpeded, and to be housed (etc) at UK-taxpayer expense.

Meanwhile, “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer and his thick-as-two-short-planks supposed “deputy”, Angela Rayner, prepare to trash even more of England so that hutches for migrant-invaders can be built on a massive scale.

Again, Stadlen seems irritated by the decline of London into a city of crime, violence and anti-social behaviour, but fails (wilfully, I think) to note who is actually doing the vast majority of that…

Incidentally, Stadlen’s radio presenting seems to take place on LBC, another company owned by a Jew or Jews. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Tabor-King.

So, one of the things the SRA seem to be saying – and I think this comes from the very top, Juliet Oliver, general counsel – is; – a solicitor can continue to advise a former client where a conflict has arisen between that solicitor and client – so long as the solicitor only advises the client and does not ‘act’ by communicating with third parties or the court.” [James Wilson]

Worse, there was a whole line of the ugly new houses all along Pool Side, where the Hobbiton Road ran close to the bank. An avenue of trees had stood there. They were all gone.

Quoted in a piece by Niall Ferguson, whose views are often not at one with my own, but sometimes are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niall_Ferguson].

That article can be read here: https://www.thefp.com/p/niall-ferguson-the-rot-in-britain (I did not read it all because of the paywall).

Unfortunately, basically “System” historians and academics such as Ferguson are easily held to ransom by the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. Their own careerist interests tend to get in the way of truth-telling.

The Lord of the Rings quotation there, though, resonates with me. That is more or less how I feel about England. There is, almost daily, less and less left of the England I remember from childhood (early-mid 1960s) and my teenage years (early to mid 1970s) (I was in Australia 1967, 1968, 1969).

Now we are told that, even “net”, the migration invasion will be around a million a year, indefinitely. That means continual degradation of housing availability, healthcare availability, law and order, availability of decent education, ever-lowering real pay; it also means the destruction of the welfare state.

It makes no difference at all whether those entering the UK do so with various visas, and on scheduled flights, or do so in rubber boats, invading the beaches of southern England.

The questions raised are:

  1. how many years before this society collapses, together with its corrupt and decadent political system?
  2. how many years before a real social-national government can take power and exterminate the societal evils that are being visited upon us (not all of which, however, are by reason of mass immigration)?

Each immigrant to the UK, at present, is costing the UK about a million pounds over a lifetime, taking everything into account. It therefore makes sense to say “go out and stay out of the UK and we shall give you a gratuity of £50,000 [or more].” There would have to be a second, firmer statement, i.e. “return to the UK without permission, and you will be shot.”

Of course, such an offer might attract others. That posits the need for firm measures to prevent that.

We could even go further, inviting non-whites born in the UK to emigrate, and providing a similar and larger gratuity to them on that basis, maybe £200,000 in cash. Same (not some) conditions apply…

Expensive, but not so expensive as having them here.

Note: “other solutions are available”.

“They” really have their claws into the U.S. Congress…

Had this story appeared on the 1st of April, I should have assumed that it was a hoax. This country is now so screwed that it is hard at times to believe the extent of it.

The British Council is both useless and expensive. As Martin Bell pointed out many years ago, the (old) BBC World Service did “soft power” diplomacy many times better on a fraction of the budget.

That refers to this:

David Lammy, thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity hire”…

The Labour Party succeeded at GE 2024 (albeit to the extent that 33.7% of voters that voted, voted Labour) not on its own merits, but because “almost everyone” (at least 9 out of every 12) wanted rid of the Conservative Party.

Now we see a similar phenomenon— the people want rid of both of the main System parties. So far, Reform is the only game in town.

Talking point

Ja, die Welt ist nur ein Leierkasten,
die unser Herrgott selber dreht.
Jeder muß nach dem Liede tanzen,
das gerade auf der Walze steht.[41]

The world is just a barrel-organ
which the Lord God turns Himself.
We all have to dance to the tune
which is already on the drum

[from an operatic libretto by the father of Reinhard Heydrich, and which Heydrich quoted not long before his own death: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Reinhard_Heydrich#Attack_in_Prague]

Incidentally:

One day he [Heydrich] told me that a decision had been made in Hitler’s Headquarters, to create a big reservation for the Jews in Russia, which could be developed into a Jewish State. Considered the great advances of the German troops in Russia, everything looked very positive. A resettlement of such a magnitude appeared possible.” [from the 1976 memoirs of Lina Heydrich (geboren von Osten)].

The Oreshnik strike is a signal to the United States and its allies that Moscow will be ready in any way to prevent them from inflicting a strategic defeat. Sergey Lavrov said this in an interview with Tucker Carlson:
“Westerners are fighting to maintain their hegemony in the world, in any country, region, on any continent. We are fighting for our legitimate security interests
.”

Key statements by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an interview with Tucker Carlson:

Russia and the US are not officially at war, but a hybrid war is being waged against Moscow. And what is happening in Ukraine is the most visible and obvious part of this hybrid war. Moscow does not want to make things worse, but since ATACMS and other long-range weapons are being used on Russian territory, Russia is sending signals and hopes that the latest of these signals, from the new Oreshnik system, will be taken seriously.

It is obvious that the Ukrainians could not do what they do with modern long-range weapons without the direct participation of the American military.

The message we wanted to convey by testing this hypersonic system in real conditions is that we will be ready to do everything to protect our legitimate interests. The Minsk agreements stipulated that Kyiv should enter into direct dialogue with the people who did not accept the coup d’etat and promote the development of economic relations with this part of Ukraine, but none of this was done.

We prefer a peaceful settlement through negotiations based on respect for the legitimate security interests of Russia, respect for the Russian people living in Ukraine, their fundamental rights, linguistic and religious rights, which have been destroyed by a number of laws adopted by the Ukrainian parliament.

It is absolutely useless to claim that the people who came to power as a result of the military coup in February 2014 represented the Crimeans or the inhabitants of the east and south of Ukraine. The Crimeans rejected the coup, demanded to be left alone and said that they did not want to have anything to do with these people. So did the Donbass.

If there had been no coup d’état in February 2014 and if the agreement reached the day before between then-President Poroshenko and the opposition had been implemented, Ukraine would be united and Crimea would be part of it.

Russia is ready to send additional “messages” to the West if they do not draw the necessary conclusions after the launch of Oreshnik.

Russia is not considering the possibility of a nuclear war with the US.

Trump is friendly in conversation, but this does not mean he is pro-Russian.

Russia does not intend to destroy the Ukrainian people, they are brothers and sisters for Russians.

It is not his responsibility to disclose information about the number of Russian citizens killed since February 2022; this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense.

Russia still hasn’t received Navalny’s test results after his treatment in Germany.

Talk of a limited nuclear strike is an invitation to a catastrophe that Russia does not want.

Russia has never set out to kill people, unlike the Ukrainian regime.

There is a tragedy in Ukraine, while in Palestine there is a catastrophe

The number of civilians killed in Palestine in a year is almost twice the number of civilians killed in the Ukrainian conflict over 10 years.

US ‘feeding’ some Kurdish separatists in Syria.

Moscow does not believe that the solution to the Ukrainian issue is only for Russia and the US.

Statements by individual NATO officials about the possibility of preemptive strikes against Russia raise concerns.

The West is making a serious mistake in believing that Russia’s “red lines” can shift.

Zelensky is inadequate if, after everything he has done, he wants to return people of Russian culture to Ukraine.

For peace in Ukraine there should be no NATO, military bases or exercises involving foreign troops.

West will have to consider realities on the ground for agreement on Ukraine.

Russia will judge the Trump administration on its specific steps, but Biden wants to leave him a difficult legacy.

Why are @Nigel_Farage and Reform surging again in the polls? Because of one word. Immigration. Because of mass, uncontrolled, unprecedented immigration.

Consider just a few things we’ve learned since the election in July —and which you’ll already know if you read my newsletter.

We’ve learned that despite all the promises on Left and Right to reduce net migration it’s now rocketed to nearly one million people a year —more than twice what it was at the time of Brexit.

We’ve learned that neither Left nor Right, nor more importantly the Treasury, have any serious interest in slashing net migration and their forecasts now assume ongoing mass immigration forever.

We’ve learned that enough people to fill the city of Birmingham migrated into Britain last year —in just ONE year.

We’ve learned that the government departments and agencies that are supposed to count immigration cannot even get the numbers right.

We’ve learned that according to the government’s own forecasts Britain’s population is forecast to grow by at least another 6.5 million people by the year 2036 —equivalent to six Birmingham’s.

We’ve learned via the centrist Pew Research Centre that between today and 2050 Britain will see the largest increase in the absolute number of Muslims of all European nations.

We’ve learned that Muhammad has become the most popular baby name for boys in Britain for the first time, overtaking Noah.

We’ve learned that mass immigration is not only the biggest driver of Britain’s population growth but is now, in fact, the ONLY driver of our population growth.

We’ve learned that the fertility rate among the British has fallen to 1.4 and is forecast to fall below 1.3 by the end of the century, well below the replacement rate of 2.1 and while nobody in Westminster will dare talk about pro-family policies, we’ve learned that 86% of all immigration that’s now coming into Britain is coming from outside Europe —from poorer and radically different nations and cultures.

We’ve learned that our broken asylum system which neither of the big parties are willing to fix is now costing us at least £5.4 billion a year and has cost us around £18 billion since 2018.

We’ve learned about these costs at the very same time as our leaders have taken winter fuel payments off pensioners and smashed family farms to save £2 billion We’ve learned that over the last four years, only 15-18% of people who migrated into Britain came here to work in skilled jobs.

We’ve learned that on average each low-wage, low-skill migrant is now costing British taxpayers between £150,000 & £1 million a year.

We’ve learned that while Keir Starmer is talking about building 1.5 million homes we need to build more than half that JUST to keep up with the demand from immigration.

We’ve learned that over the last 4 years some 40,000 criminal offences were committed on Britain’s streets by immigrants who have avoided deportation.

We’ve learned that at least 1 in 4 migrants who avoid deportation have gone on to reoffend.

And we’ve learned, only this week, that since the financial crisis some 441,000 people from outside the UK have been given new social housing lettings at the same time as British families and young people have been plunged into a major housing crisis by our hapless elites.

This. This is why one in four Brits are now turning to Nigel Farage and Reform. This is why Reform is now ahead of Labour and looks set to pick up the realignment which the Tories squandered by lying to the country.

Millions of British people have simply had enough. Had enough of Labour Had enough of the Tories. Had enough of the expert class. Had enough of the lies. Had enough of the gaslighting. Had enough of the insults. They want their country back. And they will use whatever vehicle is available to get it back.”

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, an international, transnational conspiracy to create a mixed-race population, especially in Europe.

Both main System parties (and the LibDems) are connected to that conspiracy. Traitors who should be, and one day will be, dealt with.

The mainstream media also is riddled with traitors and those who go along with the evil plans of the conspirators for reasons of money and/or careerism.

There will one day have to be a thoroughgoing purge of the political, mass media, and general cultural milieux.

When Germany was on its knees after the First World War, and riddled with traitors and exploiters, one man, with a few followers, stood up against the tide. He attracted support and, despite the attempts to repress the national rebellion, prevailed and created the most advanced state in the world at the time.

Britain, and much of Europe, now also needs to free itself from exploitation and treachery.
