On “British” TV etc, you only see the Ukrainian conflict from the Kiev-regime side.

[“MBS IS FINISHED: THE HOUSE OF SAUD FACES TOTAL COLLAPSE Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector and Marine intelligence officer, warns that Mohammed bin Salman has entered a death spiral with no way out. A war launched in 2014 for quick military glory has become a 12-year nightmare that is now physically dismantling Saudi oil production. The American umbrella has failed, allies will not ride to the rescue, and the kingdom is losing decisively. The only remaining question is how fast the collapse arrives.

THE CORE VERDICT

Ritter states the demise of Muhammad bin Salman is inevitable.

“He’s finished.”

If lucky he catches the last gold-plated 747 out of Riyadh to a London hideaway or the United States.

If not, his head is removed by sword amid shouts of Allahu Akbar.

“It’s the end of the House of Saud.”

THE 2014 STRATEGIC ERROR

MBS tried to earn his military spurs with a fast victory over Ansar Allah.

The campaign turned into a 12-year nightmare.

His later decision to expand the war by striking Sanaa airfield only accelerated the destruction.

There is no political off-ramp left and no salvation coming.

THE OIL DESTRUCTION

Ansar Allah is no longer limited to blocking Bab el-Mandeb or hitting pipelines and storage.

They are now attacking production facilities and the wells themselves.

“This is the end of Saudi Arabia.”

Without oil the entire Vision 2030 fantasy collapses into what Ritter calls a Bedouin-infested sand pit with nothing left.

NO ALLIES WILL SAVE HIM

The American security umbrella proved nonfunctional.

Saudi forces are ineffective, overweight, proxy-driven and overmatched.

Pakistan faces massive Imran Khan protests and will not send tens of thousands of troops into a losing desert war.

Turkey has no interest in dying for the Saudis.

The Mecca Pact is a joke of maps and chalkboards with no real troop movement.

THE RIYADH PREDICTION

If MBS is removed and internal fighting follows, Ritter says Ansar Allah columns could drive through the streets of Riyadh.

Saudis have feared this outcome since 1990.

“Saudi Arabia is losing this war decisively. And there’s nothing that can be done to save them.”

The world will experience the same shock that hit when the Shah of Iran fell in 1979.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Scott Ritter sees MBS as toast and the House of Saud heading toward the same abrupt end that surprised everyone in 1979. Energy production is being dismantled, no outside force will intervene, and the collapse is already underway. History is about to deliver a shock that almost no one in the West has priced in.”]

Refers to Burnham’s stupid comment to the effect that Russia somehow procured the 2016 Brexit Referendum vote. Now Burnham admits that he has no evidence whatsoever to back that. He is pathetic.

[“Historic Milestone in Florida as Over 80 Orthodox Jewish Families Move Into New $100 Million-Plus Community and Schools Open

More than 80 families from New York have moved into Lakefront Estates, where schools have now opened. Dozens more families are expected in the coming weeks, following reported investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in the project.

Located in Glades County near Lake Okeechobee, Lakefront is a purpose-built residential community. The broader development plan calls for up to 1,000 single-family homes and 300 rental units.

The vision goes beyond housing: plans include synagogues, mikvahs, boys’ and girls’ schools, a yeshiva, a kollel, kosher shopping and medical services. Developers are targeting families seeking more space and an alternative to soaring housing costs in established Orthodox neighborhoods.

Hatzalah South Florida has also begun organizing a local branch, meeting with prospective responders who will serve Lakefront. With families arriving and classrooms opening, the focus now shifts from construction to building the services a growing community needs.“]

It has been suggested that there may now be some variety of superinjunction in place, an injunction which prevents being published even the fact of its existence. I wonder. The msm deletions would seem to support that theory, but how can such an injunction cover even the fact that a woman has not only been charged but has been committed for trial?

Apart from that, I have nothing further to say at this time about Lola Salem and the horrible little degenerate, Gove, having said it all in the past few days on the blog, and previously.

Relations between Russia and Japan continue to deteriorate.

If the next general election does not move things in at least a generally social-national way, the British people will be fully justified in taking whatever action is required to save this country.

[“RUSSIAN DRONE ATTACKS REPORTED ACROSS UKRAINE — JET-POWERED DRONES REACH LVIV*

Overnight, Geran-type drones reportedly targeted Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lutsk, as well as the Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Lviv and Poltava regions.

Reports also indicate that Geran-4/5 jet-powered drones reached Lviv for the first time. The extent of the damage and any casualties require independent confirmation.

  • The reported expansion of drone attacks toward western Ukraine highlights the challenge of defending a vast territory. Faster jet-powered variants could further complicate interception efforts and increase pressure on Ukrainian air defenses.

The key question is whether Ukraine can sustain nationwide air defense as the threat evolves in both range and speed.“]

I suggest that the Russian side leaves Lvov unattacked. Lvov is an ancient and interesting city, at one time within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

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

Once Russia achieves victory and supremacy over Eastern Ukraine, and once Kiev ceases to be the capital of a fake state, a real Ukrainian rump state, autonomous but disarmed and neutral, can be centred on Lvov.

The occasionally-seen (in fact, becoming now “often-seen”) cases of that sort are the tip of the iceberg.

The European societies, including UK society, are slowly (?) collapsing via both —scarcely controlled at all— the mass migration invasion and then also the soon-upcoming demographic collapse (European people having few if any children).

Zelensky— RAUS!

Can you believe that that woman is head of foreign policy for the EU? It is ludicrous. The personification of geopolitical irrelevance.

Burnham’s recent announcements will have bolstered Labour’s chances. The fact that Burnham’s announcements are mainly hot air, and will never be implemented, will not become apparent until 2027, 2028, 2029, or later. As yet, they are likely to be attractive to many voters who may perhaps regard them as something real and viable.

On that basis, a general election this year might be a possibility. However, Reform might do better than expected. It all depends on how turned-off the voters are with the main System parties.

[“Netherlands Admits Military Reserves Have Been Depleted Due to Aid to Ukraine

According to Military Watch Magazine, the Dutch Ministry of Defense has concluded that military assistance to Kyiv is undermining the combat readiness of the Dutch armed forces and making it more difficult for the country to fulfill its NATO obligations.

The ministry has declined to publicly disclose which NATO targets have been postponed or affected, or to provide details on the current combat readiness of individual Dutch military units. The admission highlights the growing tension between supplying Ukraine with military equipment and maintaining national reserves at levels considered necessary for a major conflict.

According to the ministry, by February 2026, the Netherlands will have provided Ukraine with approximately €11.7 billion in military assistance. The publication also claims that weapons stockpiles across NATO’s European members have been severely depleted, with shortages particularly affecting artillery ammunition, air-defense missiles, anti-tank weapons, and armored vehicles.

Europe is discovering the hard way that weapons sent abroad don’t magically regenerate back home. The bill for rebuilding those stockpiles could be just as serious as the bill for the aid itself.“]

[“Researchers at Stanford University say that, contrary to claims and expectations from the U.S. government and major business leaders, their independent analysis indicates that China could soon catch up with—and potentially surpass—the United States in the development of advanced artificial intelligence models.

The researchers argue that the gap between the two countries is narrowing rapidly, challenging the assumption that the United States will maintain a lasting lead in the global AI race.

The AI race is starting to look less like a marathon and more like a photo finish—with China closing the gap fast.“]

That is, I think, a signal that, should the European states get into a direct war situation with Russia, those European states will not be able to rely on American back-up.

She herself is neither English (that’s unarguable) nor, in any real sense, British. Her parents deliberately came to London for a few weeks so that she could be born in the UK and, as the law was in 1981, then be entitled later on to a British passport (that bad law was changed in 1982, so she only just scraped in before the portcullis was lowered). She then lived in Nigeria and the USA until she was 16 or 17. She is no more British than I am Nigerian.

Her children (who are of mixed-race) likewise.

That is a small taste of what the British people have coming down the tracks at them unless a social-national government, or one very similar, does not seize power pretty soon.

As already blogged…

Having said that, and incidentally, that AI-produced (?) picture of Kemi Badenoch in her supposed ancestral type of dress makes her look a lot better than usual. I have noticed in the past that black women usually look much better in that kind of colourful get-up.

Seems an underestimate anyway. Of course, the “small boat” arrivals are only ~5% of the whole migration invasion. Multiply those figures by about 20, and you get a better idea. Half a million to a million. Every single year.

Our society is already showing stress; by 2030, it may be showing clear signs of terminal stress.

Interesting. Had never seen, nor heard of, that.

Must add up to a massive amount. When I was a barrister, I drafted, at times, contracts for the transhipment of oil from the Middle East to black Africa. Each shipment was worth over USD $80M, and that was over 20 years ago. So maybe USD $150M today. If Iran is getting 20% of the value of every shipload, each one is worth perhaps USD $30M in “transit fees” to Iran. There might be several in a day even under present conditions.

[“Leonkov: Great Britain is gradually getting drawn into a direct conflict with Russia.

IF THERE IS A MAJOR ESCALATION, THE FIRST TARGETS WILL BE BRITISH FACTORIES THAT PRODUCE DRONES AND ROCKETS FOR KYIV.

Boris Johnson, who just the other day claimed he hadn’t started a war, has returned to his old tune: “We must continue bombing Russian oil refineries and power plants. Ukraine is on the verge of victory. Don’t slow down the sale of weapons (to Kyiv).“

Only three countries still believe that Ukraine is capable of confronting Russia: Great Britain, France, and Germany. However, even within those countries, voices are being heard that the conflict, in which Zelensky must remain in power until 2028, is costing them too much.

According to Western estimates, Ukrainian armed forces’ air strikes on Russia in July alone cost them $11 billion. Zelensky is spending a lot of money on these attacks, but his Western sponsors are not satisfied with the results. Everyone understands that Ukraine is losing.”]

There is no way of either proving or disproving my belief that “Boris” Johnson is getting paid large amounts offshore by the Kiev regime and (ipso facto) its backers (to promote the regime by promoting the Western support for it). It stacks up quite well logically, though, knowing what we know of the Kiev regime, its leading members, and the character of Johnson himself.

Historical video

Thanks to the blog reader who sent me the YouTube video below:

Talking point

I see that the Jewish lobby is loudly whining and wailing today about the Jews killed on this day 3 years ago in Gaza.

Well, I concede that the incursion into “Israel” from Gaza should not have happened in quite the manner it did, and that some of the acts done by HAMAS were incorrect and insupportable, but the response of the Israeli Jewish state has been brutal, inhumane (indeed, inhuman), and as close to genocide as makes no real difference.

Almost complete devastation of Gaza, most homes destroyed, hundreds of thousands killed or injured, many injured very badly (loss of limbs etc), and most of those killed or injured women and children.

It seems that many of the Jews killed three years ago were killed (via free-fire protocols) by the Israeli forces themselves. The total Jewish death toll was somewhere around 1,000, a tiny fraction of the number of Gazans killed and wounded in vindictive retaliation by the (Israeli) Jews (egged on by many Jews living overseas, including in the UK).

One has to ask, when on Earth will the Jews (of Israel, and those supporting the slaughter and cruelty from overseas) have had enough blood (in Gaza)?

I find it curious that the Russian missile and drone strikes take place mainly after dark. I should have thought that during the day would be better tactics, in order to cause far more chaos and disruption to transport and to economic life etc. It may be that countermeasures are more effective during daylight hours; I do not know.

[“Royal Mail has announced plans to cut up to 2,500 jobs by the end of 2027.

When billionaire Daniel Křetínský’s takeover was approved in December 2024, the government presented the deal as one that would help “secure jobs”, while Jonathan Reynolds said: “We have negotiated something that secures the long-term future of Royal Mail.”

Less than two years later, thousands of jobs are set to disappear.

Britain has spent decades selling off essential national infrastructure on the promise that private ownership would make it leaner, cheaper and better. Too often the result has been the opposite: jobs cut, services hollowed out, prices pushed up and private owners protected, while the public is left carrying the risk when the model fails. Royal Mail is starting to look like another example of the same failed experiment.“]

Looks as though the NWO/ZOG cabals have decided on nuclear war with Russia.

The question is not if, but when…

Alternatively, “local man [did whatever]”…

No decisive lead, though. That poll translates to a Commons with about 308 Labour MPs (18 short of an official majority), 150 Reform (official Opposition), Cons 83, LibDems 52, SNP 27 [etc]. Not completely reliable; Restore, though only on 3%, may cost Reform a few seats here and there.

Still, looks like a Labour minority government, governing with the help of MP votes of the LibDems and/or SNP.

A weak System government of that sort might be the best for the growth of real social-national politics (not the Reform/Restore “controlled opposition” sort).

Reform looks less and less electable now: pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, promoting what amount to Daily Mail-conservative social and economic policies, and with a large number of non-white candidates and officials.

Were (as I think not unlikely) the Con Party to decline from 17% to 12% by the time of a general election, and Reform to go from 22% to maybe 26%, almost matching Labour, Reform would probably get more seats than Labour (both around 250-260), and the Cons only about 8 MPs. However, a similar overall result in that Labour would be governing as a very weak minority government, needing about 75-80 extra votes to get anything passed. The LibDems, SNP, and maybe Greens (etc) would be able to write their own ticket in those circumstances.

That is only the tip of the iceberg. There are now vast numbers of blacks and browns born in the UK, and breeding. Indeed, there are now huge numbers of 2nd, 3rd, even 4th-generation non-whites here.

These facts have been repeatedly published on the blog in response to the attempts by treacherous ministers, MPs, scribblers, talking heads etc to “gaslight” the British people.

The real proportion of the population of the UK that is not really British (i.e. “white”) is not known exactly, but is probably no more than 75%, and in the English towns and cities no more than 60%.

If the police act as the goon squad for migration-invasion and the forces repressing protest and free speech, then they make themselves also enemy forces.

Rioters of that sort in France should be shot down in the street, no matter their age or condition. If a teenager is old enough to use a flamethrower or a bomb or a pistol, he (or she) is old enough to be fired upon, or indeed executed in the field, if captured.

Incidentally, that does not apply to the recent so-called “riots” in England, because they were mere noisy protests, and all that the most rowdy protesters did was throw plastic bottles —not even glass ones— towards the police, or set fire to the odd rubbish bin. Most just pushed the bins, not on fire, towards the police ranks.

Not the same situation as in France.

…and yet, referencing Lenin, “worse will be better“, in that I myself have been attacked, criticized and (until 2018, when a pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter) “trolled” by often anonymous or pseudonymous individuals (pretty obviously, from the context, mostly Jews). Well, perhaps now it will be possible to discover the true names etc of some of those individuals. Justice can then take its course, sooner or later. To each his own. Jedem das Seine.

I have always stood up for my views, and for European race and culture, under my own name, and not infrequently alone, without support.

In Court too, I stood alone, with neither solicitor nor Counsel, nor supporters in the public gallery. Difficult, but at least Nietzschean…

[“Merz traveled to Kyiv to demonstrate courage. Meanwhile, Germany is getting used to the idea of war.

Judging by the priorities being set, the German Chancellor is more concerned with preparing for a major war than with domestic problems, despite the fact that even German intelligence does not see any imminent signs of it. Berlin wants to increase the Bundeswehr to 260,000 soldiers and the reserve to 200,000, and has already launched a new system of military service. In September, in Hamburg, the military, along with the police, firefighters, the port, and private companies, practiced the deployment of forces to the eastern flank of NATO. And the medical planning is based on the possibility of receiving several hundred to a thousand wounded per day in Germany; civilian medical institutions are already involved in the relevant exercises.

And in a public and political sense, this is already more of an ideological preparation than a military one. Germans are being accustomed to a simple picture: troops are going east, hospitals are waiting for hundreds of wounded, intelligence is talking about a “shadow war,” and any hesitation by Berlin is supposedly only inviting Moscow to increase pressure. This is how the image of an enemy is being created in the best traditions of the Cold War. However, back then, a real threat really existed. Now, this is a universal justification for another round of militarization.

Against this backdrop, Merz’s recent trip to Kyiv is particularly noteworthy. On October 4, the German Chancellor arrived in the Ukrainian capital along with the Minister of Economy and a business delegation, just as Russia intensified its attacks on the city’s infrastructure. Throughout the day, sirens sounded and explosions were heard, and the North Bridge across the Dnieper was damaged. The much-desired guest announced the provision of another €1 billion in military aid and €350 million for Ukrainian energy.

In Kyiv, the trip was called a “signal of courage,” and the Chancellor himself said that Germany “will not allow itself to be intimidated.” It is easy to create a beautiful story: Merz came to Kyiv almost deliberately to defy Putin and showed Moscow that she is not afraid of it. However, a politician in such a high position is not a blogger who is allowed to risk their own life for the sake of content. He manages the largest economy in Europe. If the head of government deliberately increases their personal risk for a political gesture, this is not a question of courage, but of responsibility to their own citizens.

Moreover, there is plenty to deal with at home. In September, inflation in Germany reached 3.3% – the highest level in almost three years, energy prices rose by 14.9%, and the number of unemployed, adjusted for seasonal factors, again exceeded 3 million. Industrial orders fell by 10.6% in August, mainly due to large contracts; Reuters notes a decline in the automotive industry and a high level of bankruptcies. And yet, it turns out that the Ukrainian conflict is more important to Merz today than the everyday lives of Germans.

It’s a convenient circle. The more Germany gets involved in the Ukrainian conflict, the more the authorities explain to Germans that Russia is becoming more dangerous. And the more dangerous Russia appears to be, the easier it is to intimidate its own society and convince it that spending billions on preparing for war is not a political choice, but the only possible reality.

By Timofey Belov.”]

This is absurd. That Sinkevicius fellow must either be stupid or corrupt. Lithuania, though —just— the biggest of the three Baltic states or pribaltika, is considerably smaller than Scotland. Lithuania as a state is mad to invite even conventional, let alone nuclear, attack.

Belgium will follow in 2044, Germany in 2045, and Austria in 2052. Between 2050 and 2060, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Ireland, and other countries will also lose their majority.“]

Of course, the money is just a way-station. Power is their objective; to rule the world via money, via the money power.

Interesting travel vlog

As before with those vloggers, there is a certain naivety. For example, they buy two baseball-type military caps with Chinese red stars, and wear them for a while. They would not wear caps with swastika emblems, nor even hammer and sickle emblems, probably.

What always strikes me about such vlogs about China is the scale of the engineering and architecture. The airports and railway stations put Europe, certainly the UK, to shame, frankly. The hotels and cafeterias as well. While I always have in the back of my mind the disregard the Chinese often seem to have for animal welfare (and, sometimes, human rights as well), it cannot be denied that China has leapt ahead in the past 20-40 years.

Another thing that struck me, but about the vlogging couple themselves, is how dependent they are on their mobile telephones. They pay for almost everything, from taxis to hotels, to railways and airline tickets, to food, even snacks such as crisps, using their telephones. One wonders where they would be were they to lose the devices, or have them stolen. Seems insecure, somehow. They even have apps or whatever to interpret for them in various languages.

Of course, I am a sceptic: I had a mobile telephone before most people, in 1993, and I had to have one when I worked as a barrister, but for the past many years have not had one, and do not really need one (I hope). My car has an emergency help facility built in, if I were to break down (unlikely) or have a crash. Have never had to test that out though; hopefully, it works…

Taiwan looks almost deserted in that vlog, despite having 23M people in a country half the size of Scotland. I suppose the main populations live in or around Taipei, in the north. The vloggers are in the west, having arrived from mainland China on a small ferry.

Ah, I see now that I mistook where they were, not on the main island of Taiwan at all, but on Kinmen Island, a very small part of Taiwan that is only about 2 miles from mainland China.

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

Interesting that the mainland Chinese have not invaded that small island. They must be following the maxim of Sun Tzu, “to win without war…this is the supreme excellence“. A saying we in Europe might ponder. There is no overt Chinese aggression towards Europe, but we do see increasing numbers of Chinese living in parts of Europe, not least the UK. Millions of them.

I believe that border areas of Russia, in the (once Chinese) far-eastern parts known from the 1930s to the early 1990s as the Soviet Far East, have seen seepage of Chinese (farmers, traders etc) coming to live there.

Another vlog from the same couple

As with their previous vlog posts about Iran, interesting to see aspects of everyday life there not usually seen on the UK/Western mass media.

All such rioters should be executed in the field, as soon as seen and designated.

So people earning £100,000+ per year are in need of State-subsidized childcare? The Nigerian idiot is even more of an idiot than I had previously thought. £100,000 p.a. (pre-tax) is scarcely a fortune, but it is still 2x-3x what most people are paid in the UK, and 8x-10x what many have to live on.

Also, the lady tweeter is right. The nexus “work hard/high pay” is not at all as firm as many believe.

Kemi Badenoch thinks that all the unemployed are “feckless drunks“. She was caught saying it. Not only very arrogant and dismissive, but actually wrong. Only a small minority are feckless drunks.

I think that you can see there the Nigerian woman’s background coming out. She, after all, is not English and, except that she has a British passport because her parents came to have her born in London so that she could later get a Brit passport (as the law was until 1982), is not in any real sense British. She was brought up in Nigeria and then the USA. She only came here as a teenager of 16-17. Her attitudes are basically pseudo-“libertarian” American, not British or indeed European.

Saturday quiz

Well, my 5/10 this week once again trumped the 4/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I knew the answers to questions 1, 3, 4, 8, and 9.

Trump might do anything. One cannot predict it, because he is the personification of random unpredictability.

Europe slides ever-faster down the slope of utter decadence.

Would not be surprised to find that the Israelis, in conjunction with the Jewish lobby in Argentina, are behind this.

So who is in favour?

[“On this day two years ago. Don’t say @s_m_marandi didn’t warn you.

“If the United States gets involved, have no doubt, the US will be swept out of Iraq by the resistance and all its assets in the Persian Gulf will be destroyed. All these regimes with US bases will be destroyed and the oil and gas markets will cause a situation where the global economy will collapse, so be careful about making stupid mistakes.”]

Marandi is an Iranian academic.

Whatever you give “them”, (((they))) will complain, demand more, and turn on you in the end. Not just “Israel” and nominal Israelis, but also the type as a whole. Look at the behaviour of Zelensky.

Burnham is even a member of Labour Friends of Israel, just like Starmer-stein.

Israel— a rogue state, which has a very wealthy and influential “fifth column” in this country (as in some others).

Whatever the arguments, the fact is that pensioners will be worse-off under Labour after 2030 (when Burnham says the Triple Lock will go) and, quite possibly, before then. Result? 99% of pensioners (a third of the electorate, and maybe as much as 50% of the actually-voting electorate) will not be voting Labour. Largely but not just because of the Triple Lock being dumped. It is the whole direction of travel.

Late tweets

That funny woman tweeter is obsessed with, inter alia, cutting off Triple Lock money going to pensioners. Yes, only 12% of people of 65+ years vote Labour. That will now shrink to about 1%-2%, I expect. That means that 98% of those 65+ will vote somewhere other than Labour. Probably Reform, most of them.

The point, though, previously also made on the blog, is that people aged 65+ mostly actually vote. The other age-groups vote in far smaller numbers, proportionately.

The 65+ age group is about a third of the electorate, and must be at least 40% of those that actually turn out to vote (or vote via postal ballot). Maybe even 50%

Labour will therefore not be getting the votes of anything up to 50% of the total of those (of all ages) that vote, even before taking into consideration the votes of the <65 age groups.

Burnham-Labour has already alienated the under-24 age group by the recently-announced benefit cuts and changes.

Anything can happen in politics, but it would take a near-miracle for Labour to get to 35% of the poll, and that is surely their minimum if they want to be sure of a Commons majority.

That latest poll translates to a Commons with about 342 Labour MPs (so a majority of seats), 155 Reform (official Opposition), 55 Cons, 51 LibDems, and 20 SNP [etc].

Uncertain now how accurate such predictions are. Restore may only be getting 3% of the opinion poll votes, but that is enough to badly damage Reform in marginal seats. As to Labour, I doubt whether its present relative popularity will continue, but there is no doubt that many of Burnham’s recently-announced policies are quite popular:

I myself agree with all but three of the policies listed there.

My feeling right now is that Reform, though so disappointing (pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, pro-finance-capitalism and —in some respects— globalism, is still the main game in town in terms of at least pseudo-national populism. I can see many more presently Conservative votes going to Reform.

If I am right, and the Con vote reduces to, say 12% by 2028/2029, and the Reform vote rises to, say, 30%, then the post-election picture would be very different: that would give Labour maybe 265 MPs (far short of a majority), and Reform would have more MPs than Lab, 281. The LibDems would be on 53, the SNP 23, Greens 3 and the Con Party only 2. Near-wipeout. That would effectively finish off the Con Party.

As to government, Reform would be unable to form even a workable minority government despite having a plurality of MPs, but Labour would just about be able to function as a minority government with LibDem and SNP [etc] support.

I agree with that lady tweeter on that subject. For many years I broadly supported foxhunting as a colourful historical spectacle with long roots in England, but for many years now I have strongly opposed it (and most other field sports) by reason of my love for animals and, in minor key, also my dislike of, or distaste for, all foxhunters that I have ever met (at least as an adult).

[me aged about 2 (?…I am hopeless at judging ages), late 1950s, happily standing amid the foxhounds somewhere in Berkshire]
[late 1950s, also amid the hounds, though looking less happy, or more thoughtful]

I have to say that the bridge attacks are a brilliant tactical move by the Russian side.

Kiev is on both sides of the Dnieper, but the more important part of the city is on the western or right bank.

Late muse

I happened to see a travel show presented by an American of whom I had not previously heard, one Stanley Tucci [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Tucci]. Apparently a well-known film-maker and actor (well, I cannot know everything…). A New Yorker whose grandparents or great-grandparents emigrated from Calabria to America before the Second World War or, possibly, before the First World War.

It seems that the show was made in 2021, so 5+ years ago.

The programme showed him in Tuscany, then in Sicily. Mostly about the Italian regional cuisine(s). Not terribly dull, though hardly riveting, but of course this is an area covered many times in similar vein (think Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver, and many others).

When in Sicily, this Tucci expressed the view that immigration improves any society! Very wrongheaded. What many now call a “luxury belief” held by those (usually the affluent) who prefer not to see the downsides of mass immigration from backward parts of the world such as black Africa, North Africa etc.

Even without having to hear his wrongheaded views about the migration-invasion of Italy, I have to say that I found the aforesaid Tucci not someone to whom I warmed. He lacked the charm of some similar TV tourists.

Never mind. It filled an empty hour.

More “holocaust” fakery exposed

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16176399/Polanski-family-fled-Nazis-grandparents-born-britain-long-war.html

“When Zack Polanski told the heart-rending tale of his ancestors fleeing the Nazis, it earned him applause at last year’s Green Party conference.

But the Holocaust story has raised questions after family history research found his grandparents were all born in Britain long before the Second World War.

On Thursday, Mr Polanski did nothing to clear up the mystery when the Greens declined to answer a request to explain the powerful yet puzzling line in his keynote speech.“

Sounds almost reasonable compared to London these days.

Probably.

Talking point

“English” (or Japanese, or Chinese, or whatever) is not a mere label, which an individual can stick on themselves and claim to be properly descriptive.

I was born in England of two English parents (and am believed —plausibly but not definitely— to have one German great-grandfather). I am, and have every right to call myself, English.

My wife is English, born of two English parents (one Norwegian grandparent). She was, however, born in the 1950s in the then Tanganyika (now Tanzania), which at the time was a British colony. She came to the UK (to live) aged 14. That does not make her “Tanzanian”, or African!

If someone black or brown is born in the UK, in England, that person is not English or even (passport notwithstanding) British. The person concerned is not English/British but something else, even if born/brought up etc in the UK. Someone such as Kemi Badenoch, who was born in London of 1981 of two Nigerian parents (while they were on a flying visit to make sure that she was born in the UK, which fact —at the time— gave her, under English law, the right to a British passport later in life).

Kemi Badenoch is not English and, in real terms (despite having that “scammed” passport), is not British either.

Kemi Badenoch in fact only came to (or came back to) the UK aged 16-17. She was not even brought up here, and her attitudes are foreign, not that that in itself is determinative.

It would be absurd for me to say “I am Chinese“, even if living in China and having lived there my whole life, even if born there; indeed, even had I a Chinese passport.

Logic alone makes the case, but many of our treacherous scribblers, TV/radio talking heads, and MPs, wilfully refuse to see it.

In a different Europe, the whole mob could just be submachinegunned.

They were born in France. Their parents and even grandparents were born in France. They are not, however, French.

As far as I am concerned, the BBC, if it is to be allowed to survive, must go back to its original Reithian principles: “Inform, Educate, Entertain“, and in that order. In fact, and in view of the multiplicity of other platforms now in existence, the entertainment part might as well be dropped, leaving the BBC with a mission to both inform and entertain. The devil is in the detail, though; at present, the BBC often misinforms, and ill-educates…

[“A teenager who carried out a string of offences including theft and assault has been banned from Carlisle city centre for five years.

Osam Ahmed Mohammed, 18, of Aglionby Street, Carlisle, was handed a criminal behaviour order (CBO) after being sentenced at Carlisle Magistrates’ Court following work by Carlisle neighbourhood policing officers.

Mohammed admitted offences of obstructing a constable, common assault, theft from a shop and breaching bail conditions, according to Cumbria Police.

[“Carlisle teen“…]

For the offences, he was given a 12-month community order and a five-year criminal behaviour order.“]

Of course, in a better Britain it would be put up against a wall. Wall. Squad. End. However, even in Britain as it is, one might have expected some form of detention, but no. We are in a death spiral, and hundreds, if not thousands, of bastards of that sort are arriving every day, either via direct invasion of our shores or via superficially “legal” routes. They are also being born here, either to black/brown women, or to stupid white women impregnated by non-whites.

Incidentally, the above-reported matters happened in Carlisle, in Cumbria, a part of the country with one of the smallest proportions of blacks and browns.

They cannot create a society, they cannot maintain a society created by others (Europeans), they cannot even live as parasites in a European society without degrading it simply by their presence in it.

Fact is, to be posted to the crumbling front-lines of the Kiev-regime fake state is a near death sentence.

Apart from that, I think that very many Ukrainians want to be in some form reunited with Russia, rather than being ruled over by a brutal and corrupt regime led by a mixed cabal of Jew-Zionists and Ukrainian thugs and criminals.

[“Yesterday, I met the daughter of a prominent member of Moroccan high society. The young woman was transferring her family’s entire financial assets abroad. She told me that a specific group of Jews had been promised large tracts of land both on the country’s Mediterranean coast and on its Atlantic coast, including areas around Esauira. The young woman, about thirty years old, explained to me that her family had been forced, by direct order of the king, to sell their properties to Jewish buyers. If they didn’t, the properties would be confiscated under the pretext of national security reasons. They also forced her uncle to sell his citrus farm to an Israeli company at a price 50% below its true market value. To her and her family, as well as to her uncle and his, they offered the possibility of obtaining a residence permit in Canada, Australia, or the United States, in addition to being able to deposit their funds in any bank in Israel and later transfer them to any of those countries. This is exactly the same strategy that the Zionists used with the most influential Palestinian families during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.“]

I had not previously heard of that Moroccan situation.

“Them” (again)…

The victim was a hero for putting them in their place eventually.

Come to think of it, Bernhard Goetz was also a hero in his day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_New_York_City_Subway_shooting.

We all know, in our hearts, that Britain is not going to come out of this swamp by “debating”, by voting in a rigged system for rigged and (((controlled))) parties, by tweeting, by blogging, by vlogging, or by appealing to the better nature of those that have no better nature.

‘Nuff said.

[“Smashing pensioners while opening the door wider is not a side note in Burnham’s pitch, it is the pitch, and up here you can already see what that means in the hotels, the lists and the people who paid in for decades getting told there is nothing left. The media class can call it hope. The rest of us can see it for what it is. BETRAYAL.“]

We hear a lot from Jew-Zionists, from “antifa” loonies, from the decadent and horrible mainstream media scribblers and talking heads —and from the brainwashed police woodentops etc as well— about “hate”. I tell you where I see “hate” (apart from the general way in which quite a few Jews, Muslims, and blacks view the white Europeans who have created almost everything worthwhile over the past 2,500 years): the recent propaganda against the British late middle-aged and elderly.

Look at the gloating over Burnham’s dumping of the Triple Lock. You see it on Twitter/X, you see it in some newspapers. There is more than firmly-held beliefs around generational fairness, the “national debt” etc to this.

There is a certain pathology here.

There is a pretty strong streak of sadism in this “debate”, an element of “smash the weak old pensioners (who cannot fight back)“, just as there was in 2010-2015 when the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne blamed the sick, disabled, and unemployed for the fact that Britain and its economy were tanking.

As a matter of fact, I think that the third of the electorate who are above State Pension age can and will fight back, and will mostly do so by abandoning the Labour Party and also the Conservative Party. To some degree, that has already happened.

The voters 65+ may not trust or even like Farage and Reform, but will hit out at Burnham and Labour (especially) by voting Reform or Restore (albeit that those two will both be weakened by having to stand candidates against each other).

I recall reading, very many years ago, about Rudolf Steiner’s prediction that, in the far future, in the 7th Post-Atlantean Age (we are at present in the 5th), society would collapse via a so-called “War of All Against All”, in which every race, sex, age-group, income/capital group etc would engage in all-out social warfare. That is not what we see today, but there are strong indications already of such divisions being entrenched.

The “traveller” disease

https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/26581543.two-donkeys-drugs-counterfeit-cash-seized-selby-area

“Two donkeys, Class A drugs and counterfeit cash have been seized as part of a major police operation in North Yorkshire.

Police carried out an animal welfare warrant alongside the RSPCA, North Yorkshire Council and Trading Standards, where two donkeys were seized over concerns about unnecessary suffering.

The donkeys were found among other animals, and the site was also issued a number of animal welfare notices.

North Yorkshire Police said: “Officers and partners also identified suspected illegal puppy breeding, which is now subject to further investigation and enforcement activity.”

In Selby, officers executed a drugs warrant where a quantity of Class A drugs and counterfeit cash were found.

One person was arrested as part of this investigation, police confirmed.

Meanwhile, officers working with the DVSA filed 14 Traffic Offence Reports in Escrick – one of which involved a vehicle being seized for being driven with no tax and another seized for no insurance.”

[York Press]

The words “traveller”, or “Irish tinker” are nowhere to be seen in that news report. Self-censorship.

The huge nuisance of the so-called “travellers” has to be addressed as a matter of urgency once Britain has a real government, one that cares about the British people, the environment, animals, and birds.

One —yes, admittedly, very unpleasant— day, and the whole problem would be solved forever.

Russia now has about 2 years in which to conquer and hold (at least) the whole of Eastern Ukraine. Attrition alone cannot do it in the time available.

Images not clear enough to make a definite judgment.

The bigger issue, of course, is whether the UK should be hosting or facilitating American air operations at all. I say not.

The “Socialist Worker” mob, the ever-present and inevitable “Socialist Worker” mob. I can recall them (at least, their nominal forbears in political stupidity) as long ago as 1975, when I was 18. I am now 70.

Complete idiots. The political equivalent of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Noisy irrelevances.

I believe that the Socialist Worker Party was started and led at first by a Jew called Ygael Gluckstein, who used the Anglicized nom de guerre “Tony Cliff”. According to Wikipedia, it now has a notional membership of 6,000, of which the core membership is about 2,000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK). I believe that the membership was at one time (1970s) rather higher in number.

The “SWP”, as mentioned, has been a fringe or crank party for about 76 years, under a few names (as “SWP” since 1977). You would think that, after 76 years, its adherents would by now understand that they are going nowhere. I suppose that, as implied, the members are not the most intelligent or mentally balanced in the political realm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK)

I see now from Wikipedia that Gluckstein/”Cliff” went up the chimney in 2000, and that others are now in charge of the splintered SWP.

The most recent “leader” of the SWP seems to have been “Comrade Delta”, aka one Martin Smith, who however was removed after he allegedly committed rape and sexual assault against members. The other “leader” noted by Wikipedia is one Alex Callinicos, of partly (Southern African) Greek origin, and who is now 76: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Callinicos. Surprisingly, Callinicos is descended from (is the grandson of) the famous Lord Acton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dalberg-Acton,_1st_Baron_Acton.

In the manner of, as already noted, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, or Salvation Army bands at Christmas-time, the SWP’s presence (being noisy and objectionable) at by-elections seems to be unavoidable.

Incidentally, but interestingly, the Callinicos person is related, via his grandfather Lord Acton, to the Austro-German (though also part-Jew) nationalist Count Arco auf Valley [1897-1945] who assassinated the Jew Kurt Eisner, the revolutionary socialist who became President of the short-lived People’s State of Bavaria (November 1918-February 1919).

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

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

Looking at a longer version of that clip, it seemed to me that the political cretins of the SWP today are in every respect indistinguishable from those of several decades ago. They look the same, have the same or virtually the same placards, shout out the same tired “antifascist”/”antiracist” slogans. Nothing has changed…except the whole world and society around them. They should be in a museum (perhaps with the advances in robotics and AI, they eventually will be).

Ha ha! Deport Tugendhat to his beloved Israel. He has relatives there…

More seriously, the “Conservative” Party must be getting really desperate now. Latest poll had them on 17%, and personally I should not be surprised if they get only 15%, maybe even as low as 10%, should the next general election only be held in 2028 or 2029.

Much more difficult in a relatively small and crowded country such as Britain. Still, on the right road, I think. I have blogged a bit about “prepping” in the British/European context (as distinct from North America, Australasia etc). Use the search box on the blog.

Starmer-stein’s mandate, as Prime Minister, was very doubtful: in 2024, in rough terms, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not actually vote, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Con, 2 voted Reform, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. Labour was voted for by 4 out of 20 eligible voters (4 out of 12 actually-voting voters).

Burnham has merely inherited Starmer-stein’s purple (via the equivalent of a palace revoilution) and, naturally (in political reality, if not in strict British Constitutional terms), has far less of a mandate than Starmer-stein. He has no programme beyond that of trying to please as many likely or potential voters as possible. He is totally out of his depth in every way.

Salutary tale

“It is a familiar political story in a place that became infamous almost 40 years ago, when many of its residents voted to reject the arrival of refugees, in a referendum that sent shockwaves across Sweden and Europe.

In 1987, Sweden adopted a new strategy to distribute refugees more evenly across the country, and asked Sjobo, then a town of around 15,400, to take in around 15 people.

‘Anyone can understand that the next generation of Swedes will no longer be blonde and blue-eyed,’ Sven-Olle Olsson, a municipal councillor who was vehemently opposed, said at the time. He organised a referendum on the issue.

The ‘No’ side won the referendum with almost 68 per cent of votes, triggering a political storm in the country.

There are parallels to be drawn from the case in the recent ‘independence’ referendum held in the British village of Piddington in a symbolic protest against plans to accommodate 1,250 asylum seekers in a nearby military site.

Things have changed ‘enormously’ in Sjobo since 1988, according to Ms Ramel, now a municipal councillor herself who is trying to change Sjobo’s image.

She said the municipality now fulfils its requirements by welcoming new arrivals, even taking in more than some other towns in the region.

The anti-migration Sweden Democrats emerged from the election as Sweden’s third-largest party, after winning 62 seats in the 349-member parliament. 

The party won 43 per cent of votes in Sjobo in the 2022 general election, still enjoying strong support in the southern town known for its contentious September 1988 referendum.

That support remained strong in this month’s election, with the Sweden Democrats taking more than a third of the vote in several of Sjobo’s polling districts.

The party won 38.8 per cent in Sjobo Linne, 33.8 per cent in Sjobo Emanuel and 36.1 per cent in Sjobo Farsinga in the parliamentary election.

‘In the end, Sjobo residents were right, if you want to put it that way,’ 89-year-old Bengt Lundgren, who voted for the Sweden Democrats in the recent election, said with a broad grin.

Sweden struggles to integrate its immigrants.

Around 20 per cent of its population is born abroad, according to 2025 data from Statistics Sweden.

The Oxfordshire village of Piddington held its own unofficial referendum over migration on September 16. 

Some 285 of the 312 residents who voted backed a symbolic declaration of independence from Britain, in protest at plans to house 1,200 asylum seekers at a former military base nearby.

The vote had no legal force, but campaigners hope the gesture will send a message to Westminster over the proposed asylum accommodation at the former Ministry of Defence site at Bicester.“

As far as I am concerned, if the Swedes become no longer really Swedish at all, there is no reason for that country to exist. Same goes, mutatis mutandis, for this country. See also:

As previously blogged, in purely careerist terms, Shabana Mahmood has “played a blinder”: a Pakistani woman whose only legal work background was a 1-year Bar pupillage, followed by a year or two as a “gopher” in a provincial firm of solicitors, gets into the old MP racket and is made “Lord Chancellor” and then Home Secretary! You couldn’t make it up! Now she invites thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, from some of the most backward parts of the world, arguably, to come and live as total parasites off the backs of the British people.

Britain, better said many of the British, seem to have a death wish. Would I be made a Cabinet minister, or even an MP, in Pakistan? I think not (yes, I know that the Mahmood woman was born in Birmingham. Do you really think that makes any significant difference?).

Completely wrong, and politically explosive. The Triple Lock is not “unaffordable“. Stop throwing billions away on “Ukraine” (Zelensky’s dictatorship), on the housing, feeding, and otherwise funding of the now millions of black/brown migrant-invaders; the same goes for other huge wastes of money (Britain just gave £650M to Angola, a country completely unconnected to Britain or its history, so that the corrupt and totally useless Angolans can improve their airport. That is only one of hundreds of examples).

I declare an interest. I myself do benefit, marginally, from the Triple Lock. My State Pension (only about half of the full rate, by reason mainly of my time overseas) does increase by a slightly larger amount by reason of the Triple Lock. We are talking about a few pounds, if that, per week…

Any political party, whatever the reason or excuse, binning the Triple Lock can consider itself binned forever by any voters aged, say, 55+ (pensioners and those who hurtle towards State Pension age).

The idea of a State social care service that works is a good one, albeit one that has been obvious, and the service obviously needed, for many years. It has to be paid for, and there have to be enough employees to operate it. So how will it be paid for, and from where will come the huge number of employees needed?

A corrupt, shambolic, thug-regime.

If the City of London falls away, the UK economy, as it now is, will nosedive.

I do not like to advise young people, say 18-30, to abandon this country, but I should certainly say (as have Nick Griffin and others) that they should at least leave London and the other larger conurbations (which are in any case becoming —or have already become— non-white). I can understand why so many are seeking other locations in the world, especially in the Anglosphere, for medium to long-term residence.

We are now truly at a turning point, where the policy of each player is being determined. Continued support for Ukraine will lead to the collapse of the traditional political system in Europe.

Russia should continue to destroy the tax base of the Ukrainian economy, thereby increasing the cost of the war for Europe, so that Europeans can consider whether they can afford to find an additional 30-40 billion at a time when opposition is growing in EU countries.

There is no guaranteed funding for Kyiv for the next year. If it becomes clear that Ukraine cannot last even a year, the question will be raised in the EU: why did we need all of this?“]

Britain could have cost-price oil and gas.

Leave NATO, close down U.S. bases (under RAF or other flag), and stop giving arms, ammunition, money, and other help to the corrupt Kiev regime. In return, cheap gas, cheap oil, and a guaranteed huge market in Russia for British goods and services.

Its purpose is to ensure the transmission of retaliatory orders, even after a massive attack on Russia.

“Wars and rumours of wars“, to quote Revelation. There is certainly a good deal of chatter around. More seriously, i.e. in terms of actual events, the dial is being turned up in various ways: the situation in both the Persian/Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea; the intensification in and around Ukraine/Russia; the North Polar region (noting the new U.S. bases about to be constructed in Greenland); the uncertainty around the AI technology and the robotics technology (both in itself and around its possible economic and social effects); the continuing mass migration invasion of Europe; the increasing political instability in Europe.

When, rather than if.
