“Doctor” Coffey…Ha ha! She’s a fake.

What is disturbing about Therese Coffey being a Cabinet minister is not the mere fact that she is an idiot —she is not alone— but precisely that the present system leads to people quite as ill-suited as her becoming Government ministers.

I blogged a few years ago about Therese Coffey (updated from time to time): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/16/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-therese-coffey-story/.

Seems that the Jews of Israel want “Lebensraum“, and Gaza to be “Araberfrei“…. Who would have thought it?

I want to see a similar map of the UK, but about economic power and showing exactly “which groups” have it. Same about ownership, control, and influence over the “British” mass media.

As soon as the Israelis started the present round of their repeated slaughter of the population of Gaza, up popped Rachel Riley (and a few other Jews and Jewish organizations, such as the tiny but well-funded “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) to threaten, on Twitter/X, anyone opposing Israeli actions by reason of, or connected to, so-called “antisemitism”.

She strikes me as a very unpleasant woman.

Jewish-Zionist scribbler Nicole Lampert platforms more basically pro-Israeli propaganda in the pages of the Daily Mail.

Rachel Riley supposedly left “shaking with fear“?…I doubt it.

In case anyone wants to read the nonsense of Rachel Riley and Nicole Lampert, here is the full article/report/propaganda piece: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12669923/countdown-rachel-riley-antisemitism-jews-hamas-attack-israel.html.

Unlike Rachel Riley, I always support freedom of expression. #MoralHighGround.

But she said the positive support in contrast had been ‘heartening’ – including the 50,000 British people who signed their name to an ‘October Declaration’ speaking out against antisemitism and the need to call out Hamas as ‘terrorists’.”

[Daily Mail]

50,000“. So about 1 in 1,000 people in the UK (and elsewhere?)…or, to put it another way, only 1 out of every 5 or 6 Jews in the UK. Not very impressive.

Laurence Fox

Laurence Fox really should stop posing as a political leader. He is a political bad joke. He is, or thinks that he is, pro-free speech, and I approve of that (though, like Toby Young, Delingpole, and the whole “Free Speech Union” mob, his support is limited and biased), but he is basically a disconnected Conservative Party person who (understandably) wants less censorship, and fewer migrant-invaders coming to the UK.

Fox is currently parroting Israeli/Jewish lobby propaganda. He should stop pretending that “Reclaim Party” is anything other than a political joke (and far less amusing than the Monster Raving Loonies) and either return to acting, or join a real social-national party (when one exists).

Jew-Zionist flyposting

I notice that Jews are actually reporting pro-Palestinian people who have been removed pro-Israel posters in London (and maybe elsewhere) to the police. In fact, tearing down such posters is not a crime. Putting up such posters is a crime (all flyposting is a crime in London).

Typical, though…

I notice that someone today (just one reader) looked at a blog post from the earliest days of this blog. It was written in November 2016, and was one of the first articles I posted after the blog was set up. It is also perhaps the least-read of all my blog posts, despite having, I think, stood up well over the intervening years.

True, but Goodwin is now parroting pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, propaganda and views. Nein danke!

Superficially positive, but I wonder to what extent that poll reflects the fact that the blacks and browns are breeding prolifically in the UK, but the real (white Northern European) British inhabitants of the UK are not even reproducing their numbers.

In other words, the population of 16-24 year-olds is simply less white, less European, than older generations. The proportion of (among others) Muslims in that age group may be (is) far higher. Demographic shift.

The question reminds me of the Brexit Referendum, when the Remain side was terribly proud of the (apparent) fact that “the more educated” voters favoured Remain. In reality, that was a mirage. A far higher proportion of younger people have attended some kind of supposed “Uni”, but the older generations simply had a smaller proportion of people attending universities, usually for financial reasons, and because universities were fewer in number. Many of the new “universities”, are “McUniversities”, conferring “McDegrees”…

Goodwin writes a good deal of sense, but no-one British who does not oppose Jew-Zionism (as well) can be respected.

She is right, and about Elliot Colburn very right (except that his surname is “Colburn” not “Coldburn“). Here he is, the careerist little twit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliot_Colburn. Never really had a job; no profession, either.

Well, his MP-odyssey will soon be at an end. Looking at the election results for his constituency, he will be toast within a year; he will then have to get a real job, if anyone would give him one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carshalton_and_Wallington_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s

Andrew Bridgen is considered very dangerous by the System, because he is an MP, not someone opining on Twitter/X or Facebook. The System will be doing everything possible to have him removed as MP and replaced in 2024 by a Con Party or Lab Party drone who will make the “expected” noises. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Bridgen.

Looking at Bridgen’s constituency, it was Labour from 1997 until Bridgen was elected in 2010. His vote-share has increased steadily since then, and in 2019 was 62.8%: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_West_Leicestershire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

Looking also at the present political climate, and the great unpopularity of the present government, it may be that Bridgen has as much chance as a “Reclaim Party” candidate as he would have had as a “Conservative” Party one.

Reclaim Party is a dead duck, in my opinion, but Bridgen has a high public profile, and it is just about possible that, if the Conservative Party vote in the constituency collapses, or reduces by 40%-50%, and if the Labour Party vote only increases slightly, that Bridgen might just manage to come through the middle and win by a short head. A long-shot, but just about possible.

All part of an overarching “agenda” (conspiracy).

I do not disagree on some of what Goodwin often expresses, but anyone who doormats for Israel and the Jewish lobby (as Goodwin does in that discussion, and in some of his tweets) cannot be respected by me…

Looks hopeful, as far as it goes…

I agree, in outline, with that tweet by Goodwin.

I would normally agree with that, but can think of a couple of advantages all the same. Hm, think that I shall lie doggo on that question.

About 25% (mostly over 70s).

Brits asked: “Which side in the Israeli‑Palestinian conflict do you sympathize with more?”

All Brits: Israel 21% Palestine 17% Both equally 29% Dont know 33%

Labour voters: Israel 9% Palestine 27% Both 35%

Conservatives Israel 39% Palestine 6% Both 27%

18-24 yr olds Israel 11% Palestine 39% Both 16%

Pensioners Israel 37% Palestine 11% Both 36%.”

There should be an MPs’ section (result would be “Israel 90%, Palestine 10%“, looking at how many are either bribed or intimidated by the Jew-Zionist lobby).

The true face of Zionism?

Those American (mainly) Jew settlers or colonists are far worse even than the old-style or “Sabra” Israelis.

Israel has denied it was responsible for the blast at a hospital in Gaza that the Hamas claims killed at least 500 people and has more trapped under rubble

Video from the hospital showed fire engulfing the building and the hospital’s grounds strewn with bodies, many of them young children. Hundreds of people were reportedly seeking shelter at the hospital at the time of the blast, which Hamas has called a ‘horrific massacre’ and a ‘crime of genocide‘.”

…because the “American mainstream media” is almost all owned and/or controlled and/or heavily influenced by Jews and/or Jewish interests.

Typical Jewish/Israeli hypocrisy. “It’s heartbreaking that we are forced to destroy hospitals full of suffering people“…

No accident. Deliberate targeting of a hospital. A war crime by any standard.

The simulacrum of the human“…

Israel itself was built on lies:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/archaeology/scientists-reveal-jewish-history-s-forgotten-turkish-roots-a6992076.html

  1. Most Israelis are not descended from ancient “Israelites” but from Khazars:
  2. Much of the WW2 “holocaust” narrative, used to give legitimacy to the migration-invasion of Palestine by Jews in the mid/late 1940s, is not true, notably the “gas chambers” fable;
  3. The migration-invasion of Palestine by Jews in the mid/late 1940s was neither necessary nor justified. Jews massacred large numbers of Palestinian Arabs, and buried the bodies in mass graves, afterwards stealing the land, houses, apartments etc of the murdered victims.

The “holocaust” narrative is still, 80 years on, being used as cover for the continuing Israeli/Jewish military and other crimes.

Regev— an Israeli/Jew liar. Never believe anything “they” say.

Speaking of which:

Jew-Zionist loony and troublemaker pretends to fear “a worldwide pogrom“. I suppose that I should not comment.

Same loony seems to think that the inhuman destruction of the hospital in Gaza should not be noted or criticized because it is a so-called “blood libel” (the mediaeval belief that some Jews killed and/or ate European children).

In any case, even if we leave aside the hospital attack and the 500+ killed there, look at what the Israeli Jews are doing generally in Gaza. Massive destruction. Massive attacks on areas full of civilians, about half of which are children, and a quarter of which are young children under 11 or 12 years of age. Also, the cutting off of water supplies, food supplies, gas, electricity, medical supplies etc.

Meanwhile, in the UK, several people individually (including me) are being prosecuted under a law (Communications Act 2003, s.127) which is so open to abuse (mainly from Jewish/Zionist cabals) that the Law Commission has officially recommended its repeal.

I should add, belatedly, that my alleged sins are said to date from 2020 and 2021— nothing to do with the present Israel/Palestine situation.

Of course, both China and Russia are hardly known for human rights, but then look at the USA: Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Guantanamo Bay, the bombing of civilians (admittedly nowhere near the Israeli level. Israel is beyond the pale).

More from the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12642803/Tory-candidate-Tamworth-election-families-food-banks.html

A Tory candidate standing in the forthcoming by-election once suggested that families using food banks should ‘f*** off’ if they could afford TVs and phones.

Andrew Cooper is standing for the Conservatives in Tamworth, Staffordshire, as voters go to the polls tomorrow after previous MP Chris Pincher was forced to quit after a sleaze scandal.

In an insensitive Facebook post in October 2020, Mr Cooper appeared to question whether people needed to use food banks.

“...Mr Cooper told the BBC that there needed to be better incentives to get people into work.”

[Incentives? Higher pay?]

[Daily Mail]

The candidate also cannot spell, it seems (“YOR” for “YOUR“).

Sounds like a fairly moronic individual. Director of an engineering company called GEFCO, formerly owned by Russian interests.

I saw a photo of Andrew Cooper in a local newspaper: https://www.banburyguardian.co.uk/read-this/tamworth-by-election-2023-tory-candidate-andrew-cooper-parents-4375867.

In that report, the photo shows him wearing a blue suit with two military medals (in the Russian fashion, too, i.e. the actual medals, not just the ribbons).

The medals appear to be (the photo is not very clear) the equivalent of “campaign” medals, one for Iraq and one for service of at least 30 days with the NATO force in Kosovo. I am not very well-informed about medals, so I may not be quite right about that.

I blogged briefly recently about tomorrow’s two by-elections: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/10/08/diary-blog-8-october-2023-including-a-look-at-the-upcoming-tamworth-and-mid-bedfordshire-by-elections/.

I find the Tamworth by-election hard to call. I think that it must be between Con and Lab. I think that it may be close, but Labour has a pretty good chance here.

What interests me is the question “if both by-elections are lost, will Sunak resign, or at least face calls to resign?”

More tweets

Well, who knows? With a day to go, there seems all to play for, not only for Lab and Con, but for the LibDems too.

At a guess, I too would have looked (pre-2020) at the Cons as the most likely choice by far (Nadine Dorries scored almost 60% in 2019), but people even in very “Conservative” areas are now mightily angry (mixed with apathy in view of the convergence of most Con/Lab policy). Not sure whether those former Con voters will vote Lab, though. I am inclined to think abstention or voting LibDem might be more popular.

The betting markets are often wrong on by-elections. Still, at present the betting exchanges have the Cons odds-on, Labour around 3/1 and LibDems around 5/1.

Sounds plausible, but that LibDem bet at 5/1 could be value.

It would be superb, though unexpected at present, to see that horrible bitch accredited to the UK also expelled (or whatever).

I suppose that Murray is referring to having been arrested on the basis of yet another malicious and lying complaint by the evil bastards of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, the same ones who are behind my politically-motivated trial late next month.

Looks like the pathetic Indian money-juggler and doormat for Israel is on the way out.

More about Tamworth

Further research into the Conservative Party candidate seems to confirm my earlier comments about his medals (Iraq and Kosovo): he enlisted in the Staffordshire Regiment, and served for 6 years. His final rank was Lance Corporal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-cooper-38367816a/?originalSubdomain=uk, and it seems that his specialism was as a sniper.

Cooper himself self-describes as “Progressing from Sniper to Lance Corporal in the Staffordshire Regiment of the British Army. Completing tours such as Iraq, Kenya, Kosovo and Bosnia performing duties including surveillance, target acquisition and official duties in France for Queen Elizabeth II“; and

Experienced, effective and diligent Railway Engineer with a strong track record in the sector following on from a distinguished military career. I specialise in railway maintenance and asset management but also have significant experience of railway engineering projects.”

Cooper having been a railway engineer for 17 years, I should think that he does a lot more good in that field than he might as an MP.

Well, there it is. We shall know the result late tomorrow, or early on Friday.

I think that Labour will win at Tamworth; not so sure about who will win in Mid-Beds. The bookmakers prefer Labour at Tamworth, and the Cons in Mid-Bedfordshire.

“FAZ: Russia is using the situation in Israel to discredit the United States and distract attention from Ukraine.

After the Hamas attack, the Russian President, on the one hand, spoke out for Israel’s right to defend itself, on the other hand, he condemned the blockade of Gaza, comparing it to Leningrad, and confirmed his commitment to the two-state principle.

Despite the fact that Russia has good contacts in the region and called for de-escalation of the conflict, Western countries in the UN Security Council rejected Moscow’s proposal. Frankfurter Allgemeine explains this by saying that Russia has intentions to use the new conflict to its advantage. The newspaper points out that the Russian president calls the situation in Israel “a striking example of the failure of US policy in the Middle East” and accuses Washington of not taking the “fundamental interests of the Palestinian people” into account.

In addition, according to the German newspaper, the Kremlin is using the conflict to divert attention from Ukraine. “The prospect that Israel will now receive Western weapons and ammunition that Kyiv might otherwise receive is emboldening the power apparatus and the media” in Russia.

Moscow also benefits from rising oil prices, which fill government finances.

America has been condoning Israeli war crimes for years, recalls Scott Ritter It is not unusual that the Israeli military bombed a hospital in Gaza, killing 500 people.

Such tactics are consistent with the IDF’s “Mowing the Grass” doctrine, which involves disproportionate violence against not only militants, but also civilians, including children, US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.

At the same time, he said, Washington is in no hurry to introduce an embargo, stop or at least criticize Tel Aviv, whose army is actually committing war crimes with the help of American weapons. Moreover, the United States has been turning a blind eye to this fact for many years. “We know what Israel is doing. We support what Israel is doing, so any talk in the US about compassion for the Palestinian population is one hundred percent false. We have never sympathized with the Palestinians. We have always supported Israel’s perspective and strategic goals, even if they include the “Cut the Grass” policy,” Ritter emphasized.”

BBC Gaza report from 2 days ago

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-20415675

By comparison, the UK overall has an average population density of about 280 persons per square kilometre, the highest density being in London (about 5,500 per square kilometre).

Imagine about a quarter of the population of London (c.2M) being ordered, effectively on pain of death, and by an alien force, to move from one end of London to the opposite end. Hospitals full of immobile patients; infirm or sick people without road or other transport; babies and small children; companion animals too.

That is what the Jews of Israel, and egged on by most Jews outside Israel as well, are visiting upon the mostly helpless population of Gaza.

Not just Jewish bullies. Inhuman. Their behaviour is inhuman.

In the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, the Provisional IRA conducted a terror campaign in the UK from bases in Ireland, some of which were in the Republic. Some “mainstream” Irish TDs (MPs) of the post-1949 era, and even one or two Irish taoiseachs (Prime Ministers), such as Charles Haughey and Sean Lemass, were pro-IRA to a greater or lesser extent. The UK did not bomb Dublin or Dundalk, still less invade the Republic.

“Baroness” Warsi is and always was a waste of space, but at least she is not a complete puppet of the Israel/Jewish lobby in the UK. Sunak is. Starmer is.

That ridiculous creature Suella Braverman also is completely in the Zionist pocket. Married to a Jew, she now seems to be moving from a position (some time ago) of support for “free speech” to, now, one of saying that anyone criticizing Israel or Jewish behaviour, or supporting the people suffering in Gaza, will face prosecution.

I know that she was never much respected when she worked as an ordinary barrister, but this is moving to a police-state position on freedom of expression.

In fact, how long will it be before anyone in politics, law, the mass media, will have to pledge allegiance or fealty to the Jews and Israel, or face complete “cancellation” professionally? It has already gone some way towards that in the UK, USA, Australia, even France and Germany.

A —superficially— “velvet glove” type of finance-capitalist “Stalinism”, if you like.

When Suella Braverman made her speech about migration-invasion recently, I found some aspects of it with which I could agree, despite (of course) believing that persons only notionally British should not be Cabinet ministers, or indeed prime ministers.

However, any UK politician who curries favour with the Jewish lobby/Israel lobby is not one who deserves any respect at all.

Incidentally, she has now thrown the “Community Security Trust” or “CST” (the Jew-Zionist strongarm and snoop organization) another £3M of taxpayers’ money (they were given £14M just recently).

I read about that the same day as I found out that a hospice known to me, a wonderful peaceful place which I visited several times about 6 years ago, may have to close because it faces a financial shortfall of “only” £100,000. About 11% of its income comes from government funds.

£3M given to an organization controlled by ultra-wealthy Jews at a time when hospices (etc) are closing because Suella Braverman’s government will not supply more money (a small fraction of the monies given to the “CST”).

The priorities of UK politicians are rotten to the core.

The Bealtaine Cottage lady’s website is very interesting, and I say that despite the fact that she blocked me on Twitter, when I still had a Twitter account (a Jew cabal pressured Twitter to expel me by 2018), simply because (once again— it’s ALWAYS “them”) a Jew kept contacting and harassing her, misrepresenting my socio-political views.

I like to think that I am a fair person…#MoralHighGround.

Owen Jones

I see that Owen Jones has contrived to get more public attention:

What Jones fails to point out is that that British-imposed law probably had a penalty for breach of a small fine or a short prison sentence. I admit that I do not know exactly how much or how long. The Arab/Islamist penalty (I presume, and have seen news to that effect previously) is something like getting thrown off a building, or getting a bullet in the head.

When I was practising at the Bar in London during 1993-1996, I used to do quite a bit of Judicial Review work at the High Court. Most, though not all, was either immigration or housing-related. One such case was a Pakistani fighting deportation to Pakistan on the ground that he was a member of an Islamic sect considered heretical by the other Muslims.

I think, subject to correction, that there are about 70 different sects in Islam.

The said “heresy” was punishable (probably still is) by a maximum penalty of death. The original law prohibiting such belief and/or membership had been passed by the British rulers under the Raj, in the 19th Century.

The devil is in the detail. The original British law provided for a small fine by way of punishment. After Independence and Partition (1947), the law itself was kept exactly as it had been when first passed, but the penalties increased gradually from that original small fine to larger fines, terms of imprisonment, and finally (I think in about 1980 or so) to the death penalty.

The outcome of that case at the High Court in ~1994 is not relevant to my point but, as far as I can recall, the case was listed before a judge who said that he had made a study of the particular sect in question (God knows why). I suppose that he was well-placed to judge the matter fairly. I think that he remitted the case to be reviewed further by the Home Office in the end.

Owen Jones occasionally tweeted against me in the past, I blogged about him nearly 5 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/04/a-brief-word-about-owen-jones/.

Talking point

Well, I thought that interesting enough to put on the blog, though I do not necessarily endorse it all.

The Israelis go ever-lower. Bombing a hospital. Plainly a war crime.

Are such missiles being too widely-dispersed? Surely Clausewitzian doctrine, as developed over the past 200+ years, demands a concentration of forces to create a Schwerpunkt in or on the enemy territory?

Perhaps the Israelis are planning to simply reduce the main populated parts of Gaza to rubble, like the Romans did to Carthage, so that no-one can live there for many years, perhaps hundreds of years. They might decide to poison the area with radioactive elements, for example. Very evil.

If what the Israelis are doing right now to the Gazan population is, as they and their Western mouthpieces claim, not a war crime, then there is something wrong with the definition of a war crime.

A brazen attempt to intimidate the civilian populations of Lebanon.

“From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tel Aviv”…

Tripoli“, in the song refers to North Africa, not Lebanon…

Are we moving towards WW3 here? First Jews v. Arabs in Israel/Palestine, then maybe Lebanon (Hezbollah) joining in, and yet another Israeli attack on Lebanon and Syria, then maybe Iran responding. Finally, big-power involvement. USA/NATO, Russia, even China.

Stray thought about Gaza, Israeli “military action”, and social media

What strikes me most about the UK Jew-Zionist outpourings on Twitter/”X” is the sheer sadism and hatred many of the Jew-Zionists are putting out. Many of them are gloating about how the civilians of Gaza are about to be crushed, subjected to pain and devastation etc.

Many Jew-Zionists are effectively or actually saying that the Gazan population (half of whom are under 18, and at least a quarter of whom are young or very young children) deserve to be wiped out or, more euphemistically, “taught a lesson they will never forget“.

What makes their comments even more contemptible is that the said Jew-Zionists are sitting in comfort in places such as North-West London, or in other suburban enclaves. They cannot wait for the poor, repressed, and helpless population of Gaza to be killed or injured; they themselves are in no danger, yet they are now already pretending to be “victims” and/or “fearful” that they will somehow be subjected to a pogrom in the UK!

It seems to be an ingrained psychological disorder.

Needless to say, the “holocaust” narrative is wheeled out in support….

Last year, that would have been 24/7 news, but this year Israel is the priority; everything else, everywhere else, is secondary. That shows the core of the post-1945 (arguably, post-1956) “Western” world order.

The ideal postgrad education with which to crown 6 years at Hogwarts and a first degree in (?) Hermeticism.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict distracts the West from Ukraine – expert It was no coincidence that the Hamas attack on Israel occurred on Vladimir Putin’s birthday, German expert Thomas Jaeger said in an interview with N-TV.

According to him, Russia is benefiting greatly from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Moscow hopes that Western attention and, accordingly, military forces will now be redirected from Ukraine to the Middle East. As a result, support for Kyiv will weaken, and this, in turn, will open the way to victory for the Kremlin.

At the same time, the main events are now unfolding in the United States, where Congress cannot agree on a budget containing financial assistance for Ukraine. The results of this political chaos will predetermine the further development of events.”

Fed into Electoral Calculus, the result of such a general election would be: Labour on 504 seats, Conservatives on 64 seats, LibDems on 27, SNP 32, Green 1 (plus a few Welsh and Northern Irish). Overall Labour majority of 358.

That would be a complete elected dictatorship, and one brought about not because voters really like Labour, but because the new multicoloured fake “Conservative” Party is not so much hated as despised (as useless). A Labour Party elected dictatorship by default.

The Conservative Party reduced to 64 seats. Existential peril?

Hard to know what to believe…

You can never believe what any Jew-Zionist says.

The Jew-Zionists making up atrocity stories, while themselves carrying out real atrocities. Makes one muse anew about all those fake “holocaust” stories and hoaxes. There are thousands of them.

Silverman must have been busy.

Imagine the level of entitlement it takes for Jew-Zionists to sit in the UK, cheerleading the Gaza devastation and slaughter, and at the same time imagining themselves to be somehow “victims”, and demanding the sympathy of the population, police, and courts.

If only the Reich had not lost the 1939-1945 war…

Whatever happens in the succeeding weeks and months, Israel is doomed. Sooner or later its time will come.

If there were incursions from all sides, Israel would be finished.

The Jews want to carry out their murderous slaughter in the dark.

The Ukrainian counteroffensive is over; the Russian Armed Forces have already switched to active combat operations on almost the entire front several days ago.

This was stated by Russia’s permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya. “For several days now, Russian troops have switched to active combat operations along almost the entire front line. Thus, the so-called Ukrainian counter-offensive can already be formally considered completed,” the permanent representative said at the Security Council meeting.

According to Nebenzi, this cost Kyiv tens of thousands of mobilized recruits, most of whom did not want to take part in the fighting.

All that, and the bastard will probably also take to wearing a skyblue-and-white tie soon…

Hard to imagine that being successful —in the sense of sustainable— though, bearing in mind the brute force available to the Israeli state; tanks etc.

The Israeli forces have access to (up to) 2,200 main battle tanks (plus other but smaller “platforms”): see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armored_Corps_(Israel).

That compares to about 157 immediately-available tanks in the British order of battle (though Britain does have over 3,000 of all types of armoured vehicle). Germany has about 2,500 main battle tanks, the USA up to 9,000, China about 9,000, and Russia as many as 23,000.

The importance of the large-scale incursion from the Gaza “open prison” into Israel lies in its psychological effect on the Israelis. I predicted on the blog, several years ago, that something like this would probably happen eventually. The Palestinian Arabs would break free of their confinement and start to kill Israeli combatants and civilians.

Once combat is taking place in urban and suburban areas, weapons such as heavy tanks, jet fighter aircraft, bomber aircraft and nuclear weapons become less effective. In such situations, infantry come into their own and, in infantry combat, the Israelis may not have a huge person-to-person advantage over ad hoc or militia forces.

Well, there it is. UK-based Jew wants Gaza to be levelled, and all its inhabitants killed, by Israeli nuclear attack.

Were I (or anyone) to tweet, or write on a blog, that Jews should all be killed, the police would soon be knocking at my (or their) door (in fact, though I have never been arrested or questioned about the matter, I myself am facing trial in late November for having allegedly posted a few far more mild socio-political comments on this blog).

If however, a wealthy Jew-Zionist urges or incites nuclear attack against Palestinian Arabs, then “nothing to see here; move along“… it seems.

Forman owns a family smoked salmon business, and his product is rather good, but I shall certainly not be paying out for it now.

Incidentally, Forman was a leading light in the fake “nationalist” UKIP, or Brexit Party; maybe both.

It occurs to me that Forman says that “we [Israelis/Jews] cannot ever make peace with people who do this”; that “we” obviously meaning that he sees himself as Jew and/or Israeli first. He may (I do not know) hold dual nationality. Many, perhaps most, of “them” do. In the UK, “strangers in a strange land“…

As I blogged a day or two ago, there seems to be a preponderance of white and grey hair there, but it cannot be denied that Labour’s conference is a startling contrast to that of the Conservative Party.

I have been slightly uncertain over the past few years as to which System party will implode first; looks like it will be Sunak’s crew…

One of the people Jewish smoked-salmon strategist Lance Forman wants to kill using nuclear weapons…

Gaza is effectively an open prison. A loose comparison, but fairly accurate. At a push of a button, the Israelis, i.e. Jews, can cut off water, food, electricity, medical supplies etc, and have done so now.

In the short term, militarily, the Palestinian Arabs cannot win, but in the longer term, looking at demographics etc, they can scarcely lose. As for the Israeli Jews, they have now seen, on a limited scale, their likely future, which may come to pass in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, or the day after tomorrow.

Thick fake British “nationalist” Richard Tice fails to see that Jews are not only part of the UK’s so-called “multicultural society” but are the architects of much of it (not in Israel, of course, but in UK, USA, France, Germany, Sweden etc).

Owen Jones also had a few words to say about me on Twitter:

That was Owen Jones joining in the Jew-Zionist-led msm attack on me 7 years ago, immediately after my wrongful and (as it now transpires) unlawful disbarment. He also colluded with depressive sex pest John Woodcock MP (now, and risibly, “Lord Walney”) to get me blocked by people on Twitter.

Woodcock/”Walney” was at one time the Chair of Labour Friends of Israel; Jones is part-Jew (either quarter or half: see my assessment of him above).

Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election

Regular readers of the blog will know that I comment rarely on Scottish politics in detail. However, a few words about the by-election.

Obvious points:

Labour won convincingly, its candidate a 35-y-o who resigned from Labour over “antisemitism”, rejoined after Starmer took over, and is a local schoolteacher: https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23511246.labour-pick-activist-quit-party-by-election-candidate/; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Shanks_(politician).

The SNP crashed from 44.2% in 2019 to 27.5%. To what extent that reflects hostility to the former MP, to the “nationalist” SNP having a Pakistani leader, to the Sturgeon scandal, and/or to the SNP’s failing record in government, is hard to say. Whether the result also reflects disenchantment with the idea of breaking away from the UK is also hard to say. Maybe a mixture of all of the foregoing.

For me, the fall in Conservative Party support from 15% to 3.9% is significant. The previous lowest point had been in 2005 (8.4%). A straw in the wind re. the 2024 General Election. At present, it looks as if only the safest Conservative seats (in England) will be held next year.

Turnout was only 37.2%, scarcely more than half of that in 2019. People are aware that the electoral system is just a rigged con-trick most of the time.

According to a poll from King’s College London, one in three British people believe the great replacement is happening. By the standards of liberal discourse, this means one third of the British public are far-right extremists, holding a view that is never represented in mainstream media and censored off most social media. Despite the heavy censorship and vilification of people who hold this view, people see the reality of rapidly changing demographics in their homelands.

Almost half the people polled disagreed. Are they blind, or just stupid?!

This week, the Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson addressed the nation on the “unprecedented” rise in gang-related violence, calling on the military to assist the police in a situation that is increasingly out of control. Kristersson blamed “irresponsible immigration policy” and “failed integration” for this worsening crisis, stating: “Political naivety and cluelessness have brought us to this point. Irresponsible immigration policy and failed integration have brought us to this point.

Exclusion and parallel societies feed the criminal gangs, providing space for them to ruthlessly recruit children and train future killers.”

11 people were shot dead last month alone in Sweden, the second highest ever recorded in a single month.

Sweden’s upsurge in violent crime coincided with a large rise in inward migration in the 2010s. Sexual assault also rose under the previous self-labelled “feminist government”. A report in 2018 found that 8 in 10 ‘stranger’ rapes were carried out by migrants.”

Tino Chrupalla, the co-chairman of ‘Alternative for Germany’ (the only ‘true’ right-wing party in Germany), has been hospitalized after an assassination attempt with a syringe before he was due to speak at an election rally in Bavaria today.

Another suspected assassination attempt on his co-chairwoman, Alice Weidel, has recently been thwarted. The authorities took her out of her apartment last weekend to ensure her safety.

A few weeks ago, Andreas Jurca, another politician from the same political party, was rushed to the hospital after being beaten to a pulp in an organized attack on his life by a group of migrants who recognized him.

All of this is extremely shocking, but unsurprising. It is the result of the extremely hostile narrative that is created by the media and the establishment surrounding right wing politicians and dissidents. It reminds me of what happened back in 2002 in The Netherlands, when climate activist Volkert van der Graaf shot right wing politician Pim Fortuyn in the head in broad daylight.

Van der Graaf – mind you -is already freely walking the streets again. We have to realize how serious the situation is for us on the right in Western Europe. We’re dealing with an enemy that wants to and is prepared to kill us for our political beliefs. These assassination attempts are a clear declaration of war against the European right. And this is just the beginning. These people will use any means possible – including violence and death – in order to silence our voices. We cannot let it happen.”

This is not a debate but a war.

In the UK, so far, the System is using the method of putting people on trial, charged with saying, writing, or doing something somehow “unlawful”, or of belonging to proscribed groups (another typical police state “crime” which never used to exist in the this country).

The (((usual suspects))) in the UK so far mostly rely on triggering State action by making false allegations, persistently harassing officials until the officials launch investigations, prosecutions etc.

In the future that may change, and the nature of the conflict may well change; perhaps not far into the future. Look at the present battle in London over the ULEZ cameras.

Many a true word spoken in jest…I remember a visitor from the Soviet Union, one Alex (not the MP above, of course), joking with me during a similar prison accommodation crisis (in 1987, I think, and seen on Channel 4 News) that the British Government should make a deal with the Soviet Government to house Brit convicts. Alex said that he could guarantee that the Soviet Government would turn a profit on it.

He ought to have known, he himself having been arrested and convicted, on entirely invented evidence, of having been a spy for a number of secret services. He had been about 18 at the time, and the arrest came in 1948, the peak of the postwar purge. He had then spent 5 years in a camp in the region of Archangel in Northern Russia. Stalin’s death in 1953 had saved him, and millions of others, from longer or worse.

Collapsed support: a major failure?” For the second day in a row, the German Bild informs its readers that all is lost – despair reigns in Kiev, the situation is critical, and Western supporters are inclined to negotiate. “Soldier fatigue” is one of the biggest dangers.

At the same time, it is absolutely obvious: the situation for Ukraine has not become any less, but even more threatening! The counteroffensive is going less successfully than the Ukrainians and the West would like. The number of victims is extremely high. There is no necessary support in arms from the West. And Russia can produce more per day than the West, despite the sanctions.”

Conservative Party Conference

Saw a few minutes of Sunak’s speech. Pretty pathetic. The HS2 fiasco has become symbolic. Not that I was ever anything other than opposed to the ridiculous vanity project anyway, but now we have massive cost, massive environmental damage etc, but no useful train line at all, just a line that goes to or from Birmingham but only to an outer suburb of London, thus losing its purpose altogether. As said, pathetic.

It seems that Sunak is trying to portray himself as a Prime Minister, when the whole country knows that his popularity (as was that of even more useless Liz Truss) has never been tested via General Election. The longer Sunak holds on, and the longer he puts off a General Election, the worse his position is likely to become. However, if a general election were to be held this year, the result would almost certainly be a disaster for the Conservative Party, and the number of its MPs likely be reduced to around 100, maybe only 50 or so. Therefore, the circus will have to continue into 2024, maybe until December 2024.
