Saturday quiz

Well, this week a firm victory over political journalist John Rentoul: he scored a modest 3/10, which was trumped by my 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 2, and 7 and, though I had an idea about question 3, did not get the name.

[“Ukraine: the video embarrassing Kiev, filmed by Swedish television itself A few seconds before SVT’s live broadcast from central Kiev, Bengt Norborg’s team’s camera captures a scene to say the least brutal: several men pounce on a Ukrainian and forcibly bundle him into a van. The most embarrassing thing for Kiev? It’s not an anonymous video from Telegram.

It’s Swedish public television that filmed the scene.

It’s their own correspondent who notes that a man has just been arrested to be mobilized.

And SVT itself describes a hunt conducted day and night in Ukrainian streets. (SVT Nyheter) According to SVT, up to two million men are trying to evade mobilization within the country, while recruitment service and police patrols continue to search for them.“]

To be forcibly “recruited” by the goons of the Kiev regime is as good as a death sentence. The regime is losing 1,000-2,000 men per day on its crumbling front lines.

Meanwhile, the recent ballistic missile attacks on Kiev have (as predicted on the blog some time ago) made the point that Russia will not tolerate the daily escalation by the Kiev side in attacks on Russian civilian areas. Russian patience is now wearing very thin, I think.

Neither side should be directly targeting civilians. The Russian side has hit Ukrainian civilians mostly as collateral damage (not that that makes it any the more bearable for the victims) but the Kiev regime is deliberately targeting Russian civilians; their homes, hospitals, warehouses, school buses etc.

So the Kiev regime is currently sending about 350 drones every day, and that is only to the Moscow region.

[“It has become clear why the video of the victims was blurred in Ukraine, following the Iskander strike with a cluster munition component on trucks near Kyiv in Boryspil.

In the photos taken inside the burned-out trucks, you can see transport and launch systems for long-range drones, specifically the FP-2.”]

15 million (mostly) untermenschen have flooded into Germany in recent years. Mad.

Germany, like the UK, is a fake “democracy”. The facade is democratic, but that soon morphs into tyranny, when stressed.

Talking point

Ha ha! I had better say nothing…

[“Pointless looking at individual polls which are out of whack with all the others. Look at the weekly poll of polls. Labour’s at 26 – a crushing loss that would leave them with 220-260 seats – and Reform’s at 25. It’s fractionally better in the Andy Honeymoon phase but still disastrous and likely to get worse not better. Still disastrous for the Tories too. The complacency from everyone is stunning. Reform are a mess but still polling at 25. Nobody’s found the antidote. Hence #Moderates!“]

Leaving aside that lady’s own fantasy political party, the “Moderates”, I agree with the rest of that. Reform are a disaster in every way but one, i.e. that they will be (continue to be) voted for as a default attack on the old System parties. People see nothing good in those old parties; to get rid of them, they have to vote Reform despite its poor policy offering. People are voting against, rather than for, and that has been the case for several years now.

Never forget…

Britain really is a joke country now. Not only is Lammy an MP and indeed Cabinet minister, but is now also appointed a Bencher at my old Inn of Court, Lincoln’s, whereas —by reason of my wrongful and unlawful disbarment in 2016— I myself am now persona non grata there. Sour grapes aside, is it not truly ridiculous? False modesty aside, I should be the one in government (and respected elsewhere), not that stupid monkey.

I know that others have been unjustly degraded, historically, whether it be Jesus Christ or Sir Thomas More (or Hitler, if you like), but it really is absurd.

Sometimes you have to accept Fate, without however accepting the rightness of it.

I was surprised to discover, last year, that I had (though only very slightly) met one or two of the defendant’s relatives in the mid-1980s; I blogged about it:

[“Bashirov: All the bad things Ukraine is doing are the work of British intelligence services.

LONDON PROVOKES CONFLICTS AROUND THE WORLD IN EVERY WAY AND SUPPORTS THEM BECAUSE IT PROFITS FROM THEM.

Approximately 75% of its GDP comes from services: banking, insurance, marketing, and the stock market. The British control about 10% of the global services market. If Russia, the United States, and China one day agree on a new transportation and economic model, many British brokerage firms will become unnecessary.

Trump began fighting for transportation corridors. He not only expelled China from Venezuela, but also Chinese port companies from the Panama Canal. He closed it. Trump is also controlling the current Suez Canal crisis with the help of Israel. Things are more complicated with China, but he has secured control of the European market.”]

Looks like the UK is in the gunsights of some of the Russian leadership, or those around them, which would not be the case were the UK not controlled by the NWO/ZOG cabals.

The tweet seems to refer to this individual: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Bashirov.

I see all kinds of people claiming that some great tragedy has occurred. Even Andrew Neil. I’m laughing.

Says it all. The so-called anti-Covid “vaccines” are toxic. Take them at your peril.

Why has that building not been obliterated by rocket attack?

Such swaps are a very good thing from the humanitarian point of view.

[“МОСКВА, 19 августа. /ТАСС/. Национальное антикоррупционное бюро Украины (НАБУ) и Специализированная антикоррупционная прокуратура (САП) проводят спецоперацию против преступной группировки во главе с бывшим и действующим депутатами Верховной рады, в состав которой входят сотрудники офиса Владимира Зеленского.”]

The “SAPO” mentioned there is not the Swedish equivalent of Britain’s MI5; it is the specialist anti-corruption prosecution office in Ukraine (which must be busy indeed if it is doing its job…). “NABU” is the general anti-corruption agency in Ukraine (ditto…).

[“Russia is inflicting hundreds of millions of dollars in damage on Ukraine through strikes targeting logistics and businesses, according to The Economist.

For example, according to Dmitry Krymsky, co-owner of the Goodwine chain, Russian strikes have caused approximately $500 million in damage to Ukrainian businesses in just three weeks.

Warehouses, logistics hubs, “Nova Poshta” (a Ukrainian postal service), and now cargo ships in the Black Sea have been targeted.

The ports of Odesa have been particularly affected: after Russia intensified its attacks on shipping, the ports have become “commercially dead,” as The Economist reports.

Another problem is the export of crops. This year, Ukraine needs to sell approximately 50 million tons of grain. If this is not possible, farmers may refuse to plant in the fall, and the potential losses for the industry are estimated at $10-12 billion – about 5% of the country’s GDP.

At the same time, the attacks on logistics are only a prelude to more significant problems: Russia is increasing the production of ballistic missiles, while Ukraine’s air defense capabilities are dwindling.”]

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose this war.

“Engineering and design startups in China are continuing to modify and improve the capabilities of key humanoid robots of the present day.

For example, Symbiosis Robotics has combined a DPC (Dynamic Path Control) control model with a system that uses images from cameras, body position data, and feedback from movements. They have taught the Unitree G1 robot to independently control a go-kart on a track, including steering, using the pedals, and performing controlled drifts on turns.“]

Looks like the long-predicted revolution of the robots (first mooted in the 1920s) is here, or almost here. The AI revolution at the same time. The future is now racing towards us, but what kind of future?

[“Since August 15th, the largest statue of the Virgin Mary in Europe has been located in the Polish village of Konotop.

The 55.6-meter-high structure, installed on a crown-shaped pedestal with a panoramic viewing platform, has been consecrated, and the village’s population of approximately 150 people now hopes for an influx of pilgrims and tourists.“]

Merz is a silly little twerp.

[“Britain has supplied Ukraine with drones with a range of 1,000 km; Lavrov: This is direct participation in the war against Russia.

LAVROV: I WILL BE SORRY FOR BRITAIN IF IT REMAINS WITH UKRAINE UNTIL THE END.

The Sunday Times: Ukrainian armed forces have been using British drones to strike deep into Russian territory for six months. Among them is the Nyan, a jet drone from the British military company BAE Systems.

Russian military expert Rustem KKLUPOV: The Nyan has a range of 230 km and a wingspan of 2.9 meters. It can fly at a speed of 440-500 kilometers and can carry 30 kg of explosives.“]

Britain must stop supplying the Kiev regime with arms, ammunition, and money.

Britain should leave NATO, cultivate better relations with Russia, and take a different path generally.

In return, Britain will get cost-price oil and gas, avoid the possibility of a terrible and probably nuclear war with Russia, and will get a guaranteed market for British goods and services in Russia.

Ha ha. That’s that Jolyon Maugham character, a half-Jew barrister who once practised in revenue law, though he now seems to focus entirely on “woke” political and social causes. His track record with his Good Law Project is, however, poor, to put it at most diplomatic.

Anyone who saw his preening, self-satisfied, yet totally ignorant performances a couple of times on the “alumni” Christmas University Challenge a year or two ago will not be much inclined to listen to his words of “wisdom”, I think…

(and that is before one even considers his appalling behaviour when he battered a fox to death and then boasted online about it).

[“In a few weeks, the national populist Alternative for Germany will send shockwaves through Europe by taking power at state elections

It will be a seismic, historic moment for Europe. The ‘firewall’ blocking the AfD will collapse. Europe’s populist wave will reach entirely new heights. EU bureaucrats will likely have a meltdown. There will probably be a renewed push to try and ban the AfD. Why is it happening? The legacy media will once again tell you the AfD are Nazis & extremists. But this is nonsense.

What they won’t tell you is what the political, media, and cultural class has done to Germany. -> Nearly 16 million foreign nationals arrived in the last 10 years alone. -> Some 6.5 million migrants were added to Germany’s population, net, in just a decade. -> The number of people with a migrant background soared from 13 million in 2005 to 21 million today. -> More than one in three 35-year-olds in Germany, 36%, now have a migrant background.

Islamism has also gone mainstream. There were nearly 20 terror attacks over the last decade and at least 10 major attacks thwarted since 2023 alone. ->The total number of Islamist crimes has surged from 134 in 2022 to nearly 1,000 last year -> There are now 28,000 Islamists living in Germany, according to official data/The Times.

Ordinary Germans do not have to live like this. They never asked for demographic change on this scale. And if you ask AfD voters what they think is the top issue facing their country, 82% say immigration.

If you don’t want the AfD winning state elections and leading the NATIONAL polls then end the policy of mass immigration, control the borders, and root out Islamism.”]

I agree in part, but naturally Goodwin does not mention that the migration invasion of Germany (and the rest of Europe, including the UK) has been mainly facilitated by Jewish and Israeli interests and individuals. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

Goodwin says that the AfD are not “Nazis or extremists“. True, but if they were, so much the better!

Deutschland erwache!

Anyway, the problem is not so much “Islamism”, but the typical social and sexual behaviour of so many of the migrant invaders.

More tweets

Yet the lady tweeter fully “supports” (though born only in 1967) the disastrous Churchill-led war against the German Reich 1939-1945, and she is now pushing, like so many others in and around the polluted UK political swamp, for war with Russia. I wonder how many “boys” and indeed citizens generally, here in the UK will die if that happens? Millions, probably; tens of millions, quite possibly.

I agree with that lady on Tim Montgomerie. The ridiculous fuck-up has been a negative influence on British politics for years, about 20+ years, yet has never been elected to anything, but has just set up fake think tanks (who, or what cabal, put up the money?) and websites (Conservative Home; again, from where came the money?).

He seems to be well-connected, and is always on TV despite having nothing to offer beyond his personal whining and a little party-political gossip.

Montgomerie is somewhere between pathetic and sinister.

Another lying, cheating, freeloading and moneygrubbing MP hypocrite, as well as being a vaping, tattooed, “club”-going chavscum woman. The Westminster monkeyhouse just gets worse.

In Rayner’s case, she has been caught out several times now.

Angela Rayner is now, once again, in the Cabinet, despite her moneygrubbing and freeloading, and despite her complete ignorance.

Again, though, the wider picture is that idiots like Angela Rayner are far more likely to be selected (by the System parties) as candidates for elected office than people such as me. That is just ludicrously wrong. In fact, senseless.

The whole political system in this country is rotten to the core. Cases such as that of Angela Rayner are merely symptoms of a terminal disease.

In fact, that tweeter, “toddy”, is wrong about the chimneysweep children: Parliament started to restrict sending children up chimneys in 1834, passed other legislation in 1840 and thereafter, and completely banned and criminalized the practice in 1875…9 years before the Fabian Society was even founded: https://www.parliament.uk/about/livinheritage/transformingsociety/livinglearning/19thcentury/overview/childrenchimneys.

Oh, and “toddy” is also wrong in thinking that only the wealthy had education in 1884. In the early Victorian period (1840s), formal education for the poor was only found in isolated places, but from the 1840s poor schools were founded. The Education Act 1870 brought in radical change. By 1891, education for poor children was both available and mandatory, and was free of charge. The Fabian Society, founded in 1884, had little or nothing to do with that.

Terrible.

They just do not want to see the elephant in the room— the continuing migration invasion. I have the memoirs of the Labour MP and junior minister, Chris Mullin, A View from the Foothills. In an entry from 2000, he was told by the civil service, upon enquiring as to the availability of council housing, that as much as 75% of the social housing (perhaps in one area) was being occupied by asylum-seekers. That was 26 years ago!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Mullin_(politician)

In a sense, simple arithmetic does the job. Between one million and one and a half million immigrants each year (minus a couple of hundred thousand Brits emigrating to what they hope are still white/European places overseas), minus another modest number of non-Brits leaving, so somewhere between 600,000 and 1,000,000 extra persons in the country, but only 150,000-200,000 dwelling units built (in the past year). Result— a shortfall of at least 400,000 houses and flats each year, and maybe as many as 800,000.

As blogged previously, the American ship of state is rudderless, and has a maniac at the wheel.

[“Bayo Alaba – Labour MP for Southend East and Rochford since 2024. Bayo is the owner of seven properties which are rented out. He is the fourth biggest landlord in Parliament. His old boss and friend at Redbridge Council Labour MP Jas Athwal tops the list.

Controversy has surrounded Bayo as a landlord. He was reported by @_TheLondoner to have evicted a mother of two and made her homeless. One week later, Bayo tweeted that ‘“Nobody should have to spend the night on the streets.”’

Bayo has accepted the following donations:

£10,000 from the Trevor Chinn funded/Morgan McSweeney run consortium @LabourTogether/ @ThinkLabour

£3,000 from Ruth Driscoll of @mariecurieuk

£10,000 from the @CommunityUnion

£2,000 from the @CWU

£6,133.53 from @unisontheunion

£5,000 from @GMB_union

With his £93,904 salary, expenses (£48,070.94 claimed since 2024), donations, the rent from his seven properties (undisclosed), his share dividends in Alaba Properties (the company linked to the COVID-19 ‘bounce-back loan), Onit Events Ltd and StreetFestiveLive Ltd, his allowances and perks, Bayo was doing very nicely indeed at Westminster until his suspension for alleged financial irregularities.”]

In fact, Bayo’s suspension is only a Labour Party one; he is not suspended as MP, so is still getting all the salary, claimed expenses etc.

Note the £10,000 given to the moneygrubbing n*g by Trevor Chinn’s Jewish lobby/Israel lobby set-up. Also, what is that £3,000 from a Marie Curie organization person? Hopefully not from the charity itself.

Import the lower races and peoples, and you also import their ways of life, and their ways of doing things. Simples.

Interesting, though slightly tendentious, vlog

I have seen a few other vlog posts by that couple. Russia. China. Eritrea. North Korea. I believe that they are making quite a good income from this, maybe as much as £100,000 a year.

Interesting views, and not entirely wrong, but (as seen in their other vlog posts) rather naive in some respects. For example, the man there (Matt) has little time for the idea that immigrants in the UK have led to a housing shortage, yet the facts speak for themselves. Literally millions of immigrants have arrived even in the past decade, let alone the past 40 years. That may not be the only cause of the UK housing crisis, but it is a major one, and I would argue the major one.

[an old picture, showing Muslim apostate (he says not) and pro-Israel loonie politico, Sajid Javid… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sajid_Javid; the “4 million” is now the ?15 million]

They try to avoid direct political stances; in this case, the man originated in the UK and so may be more “triggered”, as people now say. I note that his wife/girlfriend (Julia) refers to Spain in the 1960s/1970s as “Fascist Spain”, which is not (entirely) correct. The Falange [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falangism] was only one strand, albeit a leading one, in Franco’s government.

I might add that, in other videos seen, I did not notice the woman make reference to the more negative aspects of Sovietism.

I got the opinion in one or two of their other videos that they are in danger of falling into the trap of some tourists or visitors who go to many many countries for a short while, but perhaps fail to understand much about them. There is a superficiality.

Once, in 1998, when I was in Egypt for three months, I met, at the oasis of Siwa, an American woman, a New Yorker, who was travelling around the world to gather material, mainly photos, for a book. She had been to pretty much every country in Asia, for example, including Burma (Myanmar, if you like), but she had been to each country for only a day or two.

Certainly one can get an impression of a place in a day or two, but superficiality is inevitable unless one at least has the background knowledge to make some sense of the impression. That American woman did not have the background. Her impressions were of the “is this Tuesday? I must be in Egypt” variety.

Incidentally, that American woman stayed at the oasis for about 20 hours; arrived on the once-a-day bus one afternoon, and departed the next day, presumably having taken a few photos to illustrate her book about her world travels.

In a way, I like the attitude of those two vloggers, who try to see the best in people etc, but that can lead to a kind of “touristic” naivety.

Still, well worth seeing, I thought.

Whisky wow wow!

The volcano of “woke” and pro-multikulti hate that has erupted is because that black con-man who killed himself represented a whole current in the UK at present— the appointment and promotion of blacks (mainly) to roles not on any kind of merit but simply because boxes are ticked. Also, because such appointments are a dot in the eye to everything British and European. As in “let’s appoint a ridiculous, jungle-haired black as a professor at the University of Cambridge…what a defeat for the whites (i.e. the English), trashing their history and culture.”

Well, boo-hoo— he’s gone. One dishonest enemy of this country less.

The “woke” have seen their nonsense blown up…again. That is why they are furious. They are even all, and very stupidly, buying the £21 fake “memoirs” of the said con-man, despite the fact that the “memoirs” are a farrago of proven nonsense; they buy them as some kind of truly crazed virtue-signal.

Another example of the present times: I today, and very unusually, happened to see a few minutes of one of those apparently endless home and garden shows churned out by the BBC and others. Not my usual viewing, and I only saw 5-10 minutes. It was called Garden Rescue, and what interested me is how the BBC had managed to tick almost every box on their usual agenda. The couple shown, who owned the said house and garden in (I think) Liverpool, were an Englishman with a black wife or “partner” and (not shown) half-caste children, while the garden designer and crew (about 6 or 7 of them) consisted of an obvious gay (the designer), complete with tattoos and bleached hair, a couple of black men, a pretty-obviously lesbian woman, another woman, and some middleaged English fellow etc.

Incidentally, it seems, though uncertain, that that “Issyvine” woman creating hit-lists of those who criticized the black con-man Arday, and requesting personal and other information about them, may be a former, obsessed (and sacked) member of the Metropolitan Police.

Quite right.

Late thoughts about Reform UK etc

Reform UK has never had real support for its programme, such as it is. It has always been a party (much like the contemporary LibDems) which is voted for as a way of hitting at the main System parties, Lab and Con.

Reform was riding high until it became very obvious that Farage and Tice were almost begging the Jews and Israel to support their party. Reform Friends of Israel was set up, and you will never hear Reform leaders criticize the Jews or Israel. Farage. Tice. Matt Goodwin. Others.

Now, the unpleasant Robert Jenrick, very morally-flawed, has come out with Reform’s “welfare” (social security) plans. My reaction is both aversion to some of it, and surprise at how out of touch politically it is.

I fully support the idea that non-Europeans and other non-Brits should not be accessing social security; I favour even more the removal of non-Europeans from social housing. Indeed, I favour removing them from the country.

Yes. To that extent, I am in favour. However, Reform UK now goes a long way past that, saying that the unemployed must do “community service” or face losing benefits, meaning their food and shelter, in most cases. That is quite wrong, and wrongheaded.

“Community Service” is a punishment available to the courts after conviction. How can it be right to impose it on those whose only crime is to have no money?

The Reform plan would, in effect, institute serf labour on the unemployed, making them work for what amounts to peanuts (basic unemployment money is far less than £100 per week). What it says is “slave all week for ~£90 and a roof over your head”.

To my mind, that kind of directed labour would only be acceptable if those doing it were paid at least £200 per week (plus housing benefit where applicable).

Reform also intend to hit the disabled (apparently the mentally-disabled and those with “minor” conditions). Again quite wrongheaded. The dishonest assessments carried out by the ATOS carpetbaggers for the past 20 years prove that many are wrongly assessed (often by unqualified or semi-qualified box-tickers).

That is the moral argument. What about the political argument?

Reform is not going to be voted for by (99% of) the non-whites. Only about 80% of the UK population is echt-Brit (white Northern European) now, and that reduces to about 75% in England. Reform has to win the votes of that 75%.

Reform has now attacked the State benefits which, if you include State pensions (legally, they are benefits), are received by a huge proportion, over 50%, of the population. Reform may claim not to target pensions, but many on State Pension also get Pension Guarantee Credit (which tops up income to a minimum level). Can pensioners be sure that Reform will not hit that? I think not.

As to the young, not so many vote Reform. Reform is basically the party of the middleaged and elderly

It may be that Reform will lose many potential votes because of the above. Farage and Tice obviously think the contrary. Their quasi-Conservative bubble will isolate them from the majority of voters.

Reform was at one point, a couple of years ago, at 35% in the opinion polls. Then came the flagrant Israel-worship (or Jewish-lobby worship) of Farage and Tice, the sleaze allegations, and now this anti-“welfare” assault which will surely alienate at least half of the electorate.

Reform now struggles around 24%-25%.

Lab and Con are both still generally despised and hated by many, true, and that has been Reform’s trump card, but if Reform keeps weakening itself by these policy gaffes, it may be that it will be seen as a kind of slightly stronger-message, or “double-shot”, Conservative Party, and that will prevent it getting anywhere near a Commons majority.

Crime of Passion

The British TV series Crime of Passion, which ran from 1971-1973, is now almost forgotten. In fact, the main character who always appeared was the judge, played by Anthony Newlands [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Newlands#Filmography], and his Wikipedia entry does not even mention Newlands’ role in Crime of Passion; neither is there a Wikipedia entry for the series itself [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_passion_(disambiguation)].

In late 1971, I was just 15, and had returned from a 3-week stay with a French couple who lived in the Rue de l’Arbalete in the 5th arrondisement of Paris, a Paris which, I think, does not exist any more.

I loved Crime of Passion, which I thought at the time might be an Anglo-French production. In fact, not. It was the kind of literate, not-boring, well-made drama never seen today, and of course had no performative blacks/gays/lesbians (etc), nor any virtue-signalling nonsense in the script.

Crime of Passion was an ATV production, and was based on actual cases in the French courts, in which, until 1976, a plea of crime passionel was an excuse legale in relation to a prosecution for homicide in circumstances where a husband had caught his wife in flagrante with a lover. A successful plea of crime passionel reduced the sentence very considerably (from death or life imprisonment in most cases, to a couple of years in prison or even complete acquittal, though the latter was rare.

The change of law in 1976 was part of a general updating of laws previously based on the Code Napoleon.

Hard to believe that the surviving 29 episodes (3 others having been wiped) of that series have never been put on VHS or DVD, or revived on one of the “nostalgia” TV channels.

I found this episode on YouTube:

Who knows? Maybe Crime of Passion, along with another TV series of those times, Crown Court, subliminally led me, if only by a meandering or crooked path, to the Bar.

[“Two barges, each 80 meters long, were deliberately sunk in the Danube River in Hungary, near the “Paks” nuclear power plant, in order to temporarily raise the water level and ensure the operation of the remaining two working turbines amid an unprecedented drought.

Currently, the power plant is operating at only 25% of its capacity, while a permanent dam is being constructed in the riverbed, according to Reuters.

Romania has already shut down its last operating reactor due to low water levels in the Danube.”]

I wish I had the power to order them executed in the field.

Like a plague of rats.

Exactly what happened in the early 1920s in Germany. The Weimar Republic regime stood by as hyperinflation destroyed the integrity of the German currency. Jews from outside Germany then conspired with Jews inside Germany to exploit the terrible situation by buying assets for a fraction of the true value (the international, historic value). Industrial assets, great works of art, jewels, gold etc.

In fact, though the hyperinflation was over by 1924-1925, the events destroyed also the trust of German people in System government, and partly laid the ground for the 1933 triumph of National Socialism.

Milei has to be removed. All assets bought by Jews and Israeli organizations in Argentina should be confiscated as, in effect, the proceeds of crime.

Somewhere between a lunatic and an enemy of his own people and all people (except billionaires and/orJews, it seems).

I find myself hoping that the next “attempt” on him will succeed. The only problem would be that his present vice-President might be worse, and then succeeded by another yet worse (and Democratic Party) puppet of Israel.

This is why Basic Income must come. Marx —impliedly— foresaw it.

[“You are 59% Fascist, which makes you a Crypto-Fascist.

It would appear that there is a significant degree of agreement between your preferred political doctrines and those of fascism. Since fascism is really a mix of communism, socialism, conservatism, and liberalism, with a few innovations of its own thrown in, it is scarcely surprising that most people’s political outlook will have quite a few similarities with the doctrines of fascism. However, even after taking these thresholds into account, the most likely interpretation of your answers on the test is that you are someone who is right on the verge of being a fascist proper. Now, maybe you don’t think of yourself in that way, but nevertheless research in the social sciences has repeatedly shown that a significant percentage of the population is naturally attracted to authoritarian political doctrines (of which fascism is but one example). In fact, one study even found that in the case of people who are drawn to order and control, these values are more important to them than more mainstream political parameters, such as the traditional left and right. In all likelihood, those values are among the most important ones to you as well.

For another approach to testing for fascist beliefs, see the classical F Scale Test.“]

Ha. Amusing. 59%.

I wonder how many of both my supporters and enemies would think of me as “crypto”? I should have thought, not many. I suppose I am basically a person of reason, though.

He has a point. After all, look at Medvedev. He is far harsher. As for others, there are many Russians far far more extreme than Putin.

She is right, but the point is that Labour is as good as finished either way. Even in 2024, Starmer-stein’s Labour only managed to get 4 votes out of every 20 eligible voters; 4 votes out of every 12 votes actually cast.

Out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote, 4 voted Lab, 3 voted Con, 2 voted Reform, 2 voted LibDem (though in fact the LibDems were far below Reform in numbers), and 1 (just about) voted Green.

Well, since then, Labour has slid in the opinion polls, and the Con Party under its Nigerian woman leader has also slid. The latest poll has Labour on only 25%, Reform on 24%, and the Cons below 20%, compared to 34% (Lab), 24% (Con), and 14% (Reform) in 2024.

Andy Burnham may have paper constitutional legitimacy, but will not have even notional real legitimacy until he holds and wins a general election. Of course, as the lady tweeter says, to hold one now would be almost suicidal. At least 100, maybe 200, Labour MPs would be culled.

That tweeter, Fiona-Natasha Syms, is an odd woman. Ex-wife of an ex-MP (Conservative).

I sometimes enjoy her tweets, but she is utterly loonie. Says she is a former “liberal Conservative”, that that she has her own (fantasy) party, “the Moderates”, which seems not very moderate to me.

Wants to take off the State Pension “Triple Lock” (thus making pensioners poorer), be more generous to young and (supposedly) mentally-impaired benefits claimants. Strange in a woman who supported and still praises the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and “George” (Gideon) Osborne, who intensified Gordon Brown-Labour’s attack on the disabled and/or unemployed to an unprecedented extent, allowing the dishonest, dim and nasty part-Jap expenses fraudster, Dunce Duncan Smith, free rein.

Oh, and she does not want to stop the migration invasion, yet thinks that the UK needs more “defence” against the non-existent “Russian threat”.

She seems to think that a black/brown Britain would be fine, and calls anyone against that future “fash” (“fascist”), a term I only ever see, otherwise, from “antifa” and/or Jew “antifascist” tweeters.

Even today, she was tweeting in defence of that black “academic” con-man, Jason Arday, who killed himself the other day when his fakery was publicized.

Well, there it is. One cannot expect rationality from the irrational, and I suspect and have suspected that the members of her “Moderates” fantasy party are about as numerous as the empty bottles in her kitchen. If that.

I doubt that the lady’s “Moderates”, even if they existed in the real world, would do better than the smallest fringe parties. Pensioners would not vote for her, anyone sceptical of the “need” for money to be wasted on defence against fantasy “threats” would not vote for her, and neither would anyone wanting to stop the migration invasion.

In fact, she did try to become an MP at one point, at the 2016 by-election at Richmond Park, but ended up in 5th place (out of 8) with 173 votes (11 votes behind the Monster Raving Loony Party); 0.4% of the votes cast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Park_(constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s

Incidentally, that black “academic” faker’s contrived and proven-to-be untrue memoirs are now selling well on a wave of buying by virtue-signalling idiots. At £20+ a copy, apparently.

Ha ha. She’s an idiot. (they both are).

That Arday con-man was nearly as inventive and dishonest as the fraudulent one-time/supposed “activist” and dog’s dinner cook, “Jack Monroe”.

“Jack Monroe”— now there’s a blast from the past. I wonder whether any of the (at one time) 400+ utter mugs who were, years ago, sending her money every month (from £3 to £44) are still sending her any? Some people are such total imbeciles that it might well be so…

Looking at the mugs buying that Arday faked “memoir” book, it does tend to show that the pro-multikulti and “antifascist” types are so mired in delusion that they will do almost anything to shore up their delusionary worldview.

Talking point

Many people tie themselves in knots about “were the NSDAP and Hitler *socialist*?”. The problem here is linguistics and labels. For those brought up to think in soundbite Marxist ways, only something more or less “Marxist” can be “socialist”. Hitler used a different, more folk-related Germanic lexicon based around the idea of the folk, the folk community etc. Organic, rather than abstract Jewish-style theorizing. “Volksgemeinschaft” etc.
See below.

” “Socialism,” he retorted, putting down his cup of tea, pugnaciously, “is the science of dealing with the common weal. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists.

Socialism is an ancient Aryan, Germanic institution. Our German ancestors held certain lands in common. They cultivated the idea of the common weal. Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic.”

It’s all very well for wealthy persons such as…Rory Stewart (who, certainly in Stewart’s case, inherited everything), with expensive houses in expensive or rural areas, to laugh at or lecture those who are British and not wealthy and who now face the prospect of living cheek by jowl with the racially or culturally inferior. This is why the System MPs are losing traction with most voters. They are just out of touch.

Attempts“, not actual “suicides“. Cries for help, perhaps. The Abraham Lincoln has been on deployment for a long time, but the figure seems remarkable even so.

The old or traditional System parties are trying everything to get rid of Reform (by getting rid of its lynch-pin, Farage), even though Reform is now semi-System anyway.

The idea that former Labour voters in Clacton will vote Con simply to bin Farage seems to me very misguided. Those former Labour voters would be more likely to vote Green or, were the Greens also to boycott the possible by-election, abstain from voting.

I still see tweets and Guardian comment pieces etc defending the black con-man, painting him as a victim etc. Pathetic.

Every. Single. Time.

That local resident and, it seems, community leader, is still in the “if only government knew, they would reverse this bad decision” phase. He (and probably most of his village) are not yet awake to the fact that UK government is now riddled with traitors and enemies of the people implementing the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, meaning that Europe is to be invaded by non-Europeans, who will then breed with native Brit/European women, thus creating a coffee-coloured sub-race easily ruled over mainly by Jews and (in fact, mostly) part-Jews (eg David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson, Zac Goldsmith, and many many others).

That fellow obviously thinks that if only government were apprised of the facts pertaining to Piddington, and how “mistaken” the decision was, the decision would be changed. No, because the decision in question was quite deliberate: dump the migrant-invaders in the middle of a white, British, perhaps comfortably-off community, then watch as the white British community is overrun, literally raped and pillaged.

A sadistic and evil socio-psychological experiment.

The people of Piddington, and the UK, and Europe, must awake.

Sex crimes by “migrants” (non-white untermenschen invaders), mainly.

Stadlen. Another Jew who wants Britain to become a multikulti dystopia. Needless to say, his own unmerited inherited monies will ensure that he himself does not suffer as a result of that.

That tweet by John Cleese refers to an Alsace-born and educated Jew or part-Jew, and virulently pro-Israel, one Allister Heath, who is now Editor of the Sunday Telegraph.

Once again, the German Reich did the right thing.

Houses and flats should be homes for British people, not objects for speculation benefiting Chinese “investors”, Jews, Indians etc, nor even British buy-to-let parasites.

Yet another Andy Burnham failure. He looks, in fact, entirely useless already. I notice that his big idea to stop the present wildfires is to “ask” shops not to sell single-use barbecues. He would be better off just doing nothing and keeping his mouth shut. At least that would not look pathetic.

It has been published almost daily since the trial and sentencing (of March 2024), and is still being published at least 25 days per month.

I was blogging about that months ago. Action causes reaction. Many effectively Russian ships fly flags of convenience. So do many effectively British ships, and the same applies across the world. This is the 21st Century, yet we are now seeing state piracy on behalf of the Kiev regime. Do not think that Russia cannot respond.

The madness should be stopped but, with the ruling circles in the West set on conflict with Russia, the situation may well escalate.

True, but —as with the Ukraine situation— this is also partly an excuse to make people forget that the disastrous and utterly stupid (but on one level, planned) “Covid” “lockdown” immediately placed the UK economy on a permanently lower level, and quite deliberately.

The sheep (you know, the voters…) almost all complied with the ludicrous farrago of fake laws, “rules” etc put out by “Boris”-idiot, little Matt Hancock, and others.

Now those sheep are suffering, or starting to suffer, and the villain is supposed to be Russia, or Iran, or anything but the Western cabals who imposed those fake laws and closed down the UK and other economies for months and years.

I was shocked to see how easily the sheep were led by those with control of the levers of mass propaganda.

“Lockdown”, “social distancing”, “the Rule of Six”, the facemask nonsense etc. All entirely unnecessary (in reality, only a handful of people in the UK actually died of Covid).

As I blogged at the time, on one level the whole “Covid” thing was a massive psychological experiment; sadly, millions of people went along with it and probably even today believe it. Even years later, I occasionally see poor loonies wearing a facemask. Probably the same contaminated piece of cloth they have been breathing through for 6 years. Complete idiots, and victims of a “psy-op” which actually was not hugely sophisticated, though plainly co-ordinated at the start.

A kind of comfort blanket for the weak-minded.

I should love to hear the real views of people such as Sir Richard Dearlove [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dearlove], though I am not convinced that such people know a great deal more, overall, than me. They just know more detail (arguably).

Burnham continues to underwhelm. The weather this year is fairly brutal, but political leadership cannot change it one little bit.

As for “climate change”, the evidence for its existence is patchy, and its causation via “emissions” not proven, as far as I am concerned.

Further, even if there is climate change and even if it is caused by the said emissions, only what is done by the largest industrial powers, notably China, India, and the USA, would make a real difference. Britain is only sending out 1% of the said emissions, if that. In other words, even if Britain disappeared completely, or achieved “Net Zero”, the difference in emission-output would be somewhere between 1% and zero.

What political leadership in the UK can do is to plan ahead and to take strategic decisions that have practical outcomes.

The most important action that should be taken is to stop mass immigration. All the millions of migrant invaders (“small boat” invaders, “legal immigrants”, and those born to immigrant mothers or to stupid British women impregnated by non-Europeans) use water, for one thing. 55 million people lived in the UK when I was born (1956); now, 65-70 million.

The next thing that government can do is to ameliorate the effects of continued hot weather. Build more reservoirs. Not one public reservoir has been constructed in 34 years in the UK. I now read that some are being planned and that a few have even been started. However, it takes years to construct a large reservoir, and months or —more usually— years for such reservoirs to fill, especially in periods of low rainfall.

A further action that would help is to give some financial help to planters and growers who want private reservoirs (which can cost up to £2M). That helps because the water for irrigation would then come from the private reservoir, not from public reservoirs, rivers, and aquifers.

Of course, none of the above can change the weather, but those and other measures might help to mitigate the effects.

I once lived for a while on a Caribbean island without reservoirs or (when I was there) any desalination plant (one was being built while I was there). In fact, there was no mains water on the island at that time. However, all large or medium-size houses were built around a large tank, so that when it did rain (torrentially, in hurricane season), water was retained. Certainly, the villa in which I lived never ran out of water for showers etc (you had to buy drinking water, imported from the USA, mostly).

UK governments should make new buildings include such tanks, and also potential air-conditioning. Yes, there is a cost penalty; well, boo-hoo. It is necessary.

Reverting to Burnham, my initial view of him as someone who just wants to do what appears popular (except for stopping the migration invasion, of course) is daily reinforced.

Look at the “P.C. Harper” case, re. the tinker/”traveller” criminals who killed a policeman a few years ago. The big picture strategy would be to remove or eliminate such “traveller” criminals, if necessary as a whole “community”, rather than horse around, as Burnham is, trying to prevent a few individual ones from getting early release from prison. In fact, he is only doing that because he does not want the mass media to report that he is doing nothing.

Strategy, not day-to-day tactics.

A German news agency reported that due to the increased risks of transiting the Strait of Hormuz, many shipping companies are refusing to pass through the strait. This has led to a reduction in the number of available oil tankers and a sharp increase in prices.

The largest oil tanker carries 2 million barrels of oil, worth $200 million. A 30-day voyage from the Persian Gulf to China costs an amount equal to 7.5% of the cargo’s value. That is, one barrel out of every 13 goes towards the cost of transportation.“]

There is at least an arguable position that what might be called “World Jewry” has a long-term plan to use Argentina as a kind of bolthole or secure base while war (nuclear war), and famine ravage much of the rest of the world, war and famine which the Zionists themselves are doing much to bring about (Ukraine, Iran, Middle East/Mediterranean).

But honest and intelligent people are poison for them.”]

Once again, well-said by Yerbury. I myself have made the same points often, on the blog, on Twitter (before a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018), and elsewhere, over the years.

I recall an old friend, now-deceased, saying to me and a couple of others in the 1980s about how “any one of us could be an MP for any of the [then] three main parties, were we willing to sell our principles for a career, and to tolerate the bullshit”. Very true.

Basically, just a horrible tribe.

Still, what goes around comes around…

Just a horrible tribe, as said previously.

Typical. There have been, over the years, thousands of such faked “antisemitic” attacks, including quite a few in the UK. A Jew lawyer in Scotland —Glasgow, I believe— was convicted some years ago of faking “antisemitic” attacks; unfortunately, his sentence was far too lenient. I think that he was even allowed to continue working as a solicitor.

Par for the course. Look at “Mark Lewis Lawyer” and his cronies, a whole pack of dishonest Jew lawyers. Lewis has more than once cheated his own clients, and has contrived a number of fake “antisemitic” incidents over the years, both for Zionist propaganda purposes and to make money for himself, his present wife, and others. He’s a criminal.

[“Pastor Mitri Raheb has warned that, if current conditions continue, the Palestinian Christian presence in the West Bank could disappear by 2050, amid worsening economic conditions, escalating settler violence, and growing restrictions and military checkpoints. According to Raheb, more than 200 Christian families have left the West Bank since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, while church leaders report that thoughts of emigration are becoming increasingly common, particularly among young people.

These concerns are especially evident in Taybeh, east of Ramallah, the last entirely Christian town in the West Bank. Churches have documented the departure of more than 15 families since October 2023, alongside attacks targeting the town’s lands and residents’ property, as well as its holy sites.

While the Christian population in the West Bank is currently estimated at between 40,000 and 45,000, their share has fallen from 6% in 1967 to just over 1% today. Warnings are growing that continued emigration threatens the presence of the “living stones” in a land to which they have been connected for two thousand years.”]

I wrote the following words in July 2024:

“Regular readers will know that I have blogged recently about the fact that Starmer-Labour has no real mandate. The electoral system of the UK has been broken beyond easy repair.

At GE 2024, out of every 20 people eligible to vote, and in very rough terms, 8 did not vote at all, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.

That is Starmer’s and Labour’s mandate— 4 out of 20. For pedants, arguably, 4 out of 12. Not much of a mandate either way.

[IanRobertMillard.org blog: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/07/28/diary-blog-28-july-2024/]

In retrospect, plainly correct, if I myself say so; the point, though, is that, if that was Starmer-stein’s very inadequate mandate, how much less of a mandate does Andy Burnham have?

Andy Burnham has no real legitimacy at all.

Burnham and his clown Cabinet are planning to send even more arms and cash to the Kiev regime.

After only three weeks, Burnham already looks well out of his depth, though his quasi-electioneering has resulted in a limited “Burnham bounce” in the opinion polls.

I should think that a hung Parliament is quite likely, on present polling. Labour will fall back, the Con Party stay back, while Reform looks to have shot its bolt by being too pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, by failing to be truly hardline on migration invasion, and by being far too sleazy as well. Still, Reform will get votes by not being LibLabCon; a default choice, if you like. Restore? Slightly better, ideologically, than Reform —but not much— and even more of a one-man-band than Reform. Greens? Hard to say. Will its odd alliance of “antifascist” oddities and pro-Islamist Muslims last? Maybe, maybe not.

[“If you enjoyed the Autochrome of artist Claude Monet, which I shared with you in June, you may be interested to learn that I’ve found this new one of the great man, taken in 1917 by Étienne Clémentel in Monet’s garden at Giverny.
I’ve given it a good clean-up for you! I have to say: for an artist renowned for his use of colour, he is dressed surprisingly drably! Nevertheless, this is a very rare colour shot of the great man. It was taken using an early colour glass-plate process and isn’t colourised.

Saturday quiz

Well, a modest 5/10 this week, narrowly beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10. I knew the answers to questions 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9. I should really have also known or brought to mind the answers to numbers 2 and 10, but did not.

The situation in the UK is getting out of control.

[“At least five girls under 14 have reportedly been treated in Ceuta after suspected rapes.

This comes just days after thousands crossed from Morocco, overwhelming shelters and leaving authorities struggling to identify and protect minors.

We still don’t know who committed the assaults. But this is what border chaos looks like.

When a government loses control of the border, ordinary people, and the most vulnerable, pay the price.“]

Looks like both the Spanish and the British need a few walls, squads, and ends…

How brave “our” police are (when facing those too weak to defend themselves). Disgrace.

[“For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!

With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not forfeit. All of Lebanon must burn. Our supreme duty is to protect the citizens of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF, and this commitment takes precedence over every other consideration.

I told the Prime Minister, even in our private meetings: For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep.“]

A tweet from crazed sadist/psychopath Ben Gvir, an Israeli Jew-Zionist government minister.

Not all Jews, even in Israel, are as bad as that, by any means, but the fact is that such horrible attitudes run through the Jewish-Zionist mental state. You only have to read the Old Testament to see that.

[Ben Gvir]

Needless to add, perhaps, Gvir himself never served in any military force. Indeed, even the Israeli state regarded him at one time as a potential or quasi-terrorist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itamar_Ben-Gvir#Early_life.

Untermensch.

Milei, another lunatic.

[“Robin Hood is more than an outlaw in green. He is one of the great figures of English folklore, a legend passed from generation to generation for centuries.

Whether he was a real man or a blend of many stories, Robin Hood became a national myth – the free English archer beneath the oaks of Sherwood Forest, standing against injustice and living close to the land.

His story reminds us that a nation is held together not only by recorded history, but also by the legends, songs and traditions that shaped the imagination of our ancestors. These old tales are part of our inheritance, connecting us to the England that came before us.

To know the stories our forefathers told is to know something of ourselves.“]

[“Sadly, Oldspeak Bookshop is closing its physical shop doors. Over time, it became increasingly difficult to maintain a welcoming environment due to the constant hostility I experienced. The uncertainty around which customers were genuine, made it hard for me to greet everyone warmly, and my customer service suffered. To every one of you who has supported me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m sorry for letting you down, but we can still stay connected!! I am remaining fully online and will be offering a wider range of harder-to-find books, imports, and similar. I’ll still be available for events, of course, and I look forward to meeting both new and familiar faces there. I am also searching for premises in a friendlier location. If you know of a place that might suit, please do get in touch. Special thanks to

I recall that, in the 1970s, the Black Flag anarchists under Stuart Christie relocated to Orkney, where harassment (in their case, from the State directly) was more limited than in the large cities.

Ha ha! Brava!

TFR” = “Total Fertility Rate”: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_fertility_rate.

From antiquity to the beginning of the industrial revolution, around the year 1800, total fertility rates of 4.5 to 7.5 were common around the world.[2][1] After this TFR declined only slightly and up until the 1960s the global average TFR was still 5.[3] Since then, global average TFR has dropped steadily to less than half that number, 2.3 births per woman in 2023.[1]

The United Nations predicts that global fertility will continue to decline for the remainder of this century and reach a below-replacement level of 1.8 by 2100, and that world population will peak in 2084.[3]

[Wikipedia]

Fertility is still high only in parts of Africa and in some parts of Asia (Afghanistan, Pakistan etc).

Wall. Squad. End.


[“Jason Arday was never trained as a sociologist.

Jason Arday has no degree, no Master’s and no PhD in Sociology. None. Zero.

His entire formal academic training is in Education and Physical Education: BA in Education Studies and Physical Education MA in Education and Pedagogy A second Master’s in Education PhD in Education — specifically on peer-mentoring among student teachers training to become PE teachers.

That is a doctorate in physical-education teacher training. It is not sociology. It contains no sociological theory, no sociological methods, and no sustained engagement with the core literature of the discipline.

Yet within a few years the same man was: Appointed Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Durham. Put in front of students teaching modules called Sociology of Education and Societies in Transition. Then made Professor of the Sociology of Education at Glasgow. Then made Professor of the Sociology of Education at Cambridge.

Students were paying close to ten thousand pounds a year. Some of that money was buying teaching and supervision from a man whose highest qualification in the subject he was employed to profess was nothing.

He had never studied sociology as an undergraduate, never taken a Master’s in it, and never written a doctoral thesis in it.

The word “Sociology” appeared only in the job title. Institutions simply accepted the re-description. A PE-and-education academic was re-labelled a sociologist and students were charged elite university fees to be taught by him. That is not an academic career progression. That is a category error that successive universities chose not to notice.

My mind has been blown by this revelation. No wonder his students report him leaning on desks talking about celebrities and inequality! He appears to have known absolutely nothing about the subject he was teaching!“]

You can see the enemies of the people embedded in places such as the University of Cambridge; they were gleeful (until recently) that a total n*g with a joke “degree” (indeed, series of degrees) had been appointed “Professor” at the supposedly “elite” “white” university…

The whole society needs a purge akin to those of some countries in the 1930s.

Not least, the educational sector needs a purge.

[“Professor Ted Postol, advisor to the Pentagon on nuclear issues, physicist, and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT):

The warheads of Iranian “Fattah” missiles generate enormous kinetic energy.

The “Fattah” warheads possess such destructive power that the United States is not prepared to counter.
The explosive effect of a “Fattah” impact is similar to that of a warhead containing 4,000 or 5,000 pounds of powerful explosives.

Impacts at extremely high speeds, exceeding 3 kilometers per second, multiply the destructive energy, which means that “Fattah” warheads weighing 1,000 kilograms have more power than larger missiles, such as the “Horramshahr.“]

Surprised that the Czechs are nowhere to be seen.

Well, that certainly lays it on the line…
