This Conservative Government do not care about the United Kingdom. All they care about is little England and rose tinted glory days of the past.
…says a Guyanese Sikh woman. Even the blacks and browns that are living comfortably in the UK seem often to hate us, our race, our culture, our history.
Be warned, though (looking at that Sinn Fein result). Sinn Fein are now about to take over in Northern Ireland. Why? Because the birth-rate of the Republican/Roman Catholic community has for many decades outstripped that of the Unionist/Protestant majority which will soon not be a majority.
The same, mutatis mutandis, in England. The blacks and browns are, in the time-worn phrase, “breeding like rabbits”. We are gradually being outnumbered. Yes, England is still maybe 80% White Northern European, but for how long (and how many of the whites are, in effect, “wiggers”)?
A year ago the Moderna shot was declared 85% effective. Last October is was declared 3% effective. Today, its use is restricted because of life-threatening adverse effects. I do not point this out to provoke an emotional response. I ask that people think.
You still hear stupid people who want to believe that abortion is about removing something not really human, a kind of “jelly” (I have heard that a couple of times in the past from those who prefer comforting illusions to truth).
The average ballot trafficker made 38 TRIPS to drop boxes.
Seems that the vindictive Jew-Zionist propagandist, Simon Wiesenthal, owned a watch now valued (partly, no doubt, by reason of his having owned it) at £400,000.
Ironic. Wiesenthal presented himself as living in modest circumstances in Vienna, reliant on various minor (it seems now maybe not so minor) income streams (including a stipend from the Israeli external intelligence org, MOSSAD).
Indeed, the thriller writer Frederick Forsyth portrayed Wiesenthal as rather down-at-heel in his, Forsyth’s, book, The Odessa File.
I suppose that it is unlikely that Alison Chabloz will be inclined to write a new song about it all, now that she has been imprisoned —again— for lampooning Jewish behaviour. Pity.
The “Wiesenthal watch” is a Patek Philippe, the so-called “Rolls-Royce of watches”. They do keep their value well. I knew of a couple of such watches sold by the writer and diplomat Miguel Serrano [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Serrano], who was very friendly with a London-based friend of mine.
Serrano wanted to sell a couple of Patek Philippe watches at (if I remember aright) Sotheby’s. I cannot now recall exactly when that was, either late 1980s or early 1990s. I think late 80s.
One of the watches had been given to Serrano by Indira Gandhi [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indira_Gandhi]. Serrano had been Indira Gandhi’s lover (while he was in India as Ambassador, from 1957), though that fact is absent from Wikipedia etc. Serrano himself made no great secret of the liaison, at least to trusted friends, and was apparently invited to Indira Gandhi’s funeral after her assassination.
I cannot recall now how much the watches fetched at auction; many thousands, and perhaps over £20,000. A lot, bearing in mind that this was over 30 years ago.
The watches were left in the keeping of my friend, who showed them to me; she put them up for auction for Serrano, who was still in Chile.
Serrano later came to London, collected the proceeds of sale, and spent £5,000 on a painting by Hitler, one of several also up for auction at that time. I might have been introduced to Serrano, but either I was out of the country, or other matters got in the way. At any rate, I never did meet him.

“Bank of England’s new doom-laden warning for the economy: Unemployment will rise, inflation will hit TEN PERCENT and post-Covid growth will stagnate – as interest rates rise AGAIN to a 13-year high of 1%.”
I am sure that most readers of this blog will not need to be told that the above has not been caused by Putin or his invasion of Ukraine, but by the nearly two years of ridiculous “Covid” restrictions, and the “free money” (supposed) giveaways (“furlough” payments, massive fraud, cash for cronies, “eat out to help out”, business “loans” etc).
The situation is made far worse now by the UK’s (and others’) sanctions regime aimed at Russia.
Britain should have loosely joined with Russia years ago, in return for cost-price gas and the defusing of the arms race.
Still, this might be the time for which social-nationalists have been waiting, if a credible and effective social-national movement emerges. So far, not; just ineffective and almost ludicrous little organizations, without weight, numbers, money, or credibility.

The msm were mostly polite enough not to show the whole of Caroline Henry, Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire, a massively fat woman who is the wife of Conservative Party MP, Darren Henry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Henry].
[Caroline Henry, Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire].
Below, the woman’s husband, Darren Henry, MP for Broxtowe:
[Darren Henry MP (Con, Broxtowe)]
“In January 2022, a briefing released by the TaxPayers’ Alliance revealed Henry to be “Britain’s most expensive MP…” after £280,936 of expense claims during the 2020/2021 financial year.[28][29]“
Looks like they are both, one way or another, living off the fat of the land…
I do not know whether women like that are part of a general trend, but here below is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire,
Neither of the above women have (or had, prior to election) any experience of policing, needless to say. Britain 2022…
As a matter of fact, it seems that neither of the women noted had much to show in terms of non-political career (or indeed any career) prior to election.
Caroline Henry described herself at election in 2019 as “a businesswoman“, but no details were displayed. She is the mother of two children. As for Donna Jones, she seems to have no children, and no husband, and her only known job (except some vague “work” with Portsmouth Football Club), is that she was, from 2008-2019, a local councillor, and at one time head of the ruling Conservative Party group on Portsmouth Council.
…and not even the Daily Mail saw fit to note that all of the defendants were Roma Gypsies from Romania. The readers’ comments imply that they know, but “comments have been moderated in advance.”
“RAF bosses have apologised for wanting a ‘preferably not white male’ pilot to represent them at a Top Gun: Maverick press event.“
Well, if the the office bods at RAF HQ cannot find a black lesbian, preferably with physical and mental problems, to represent the RAF, perhaps they could just dress up one of the criminal Roma Gypsies in the previously-noted story, and send him out (maybe as a “trans” person)…
I don’t know why the RAF is bothering, anyway. It scarcely exists any more. From what I have seen online just now, the UK has only about 130 attack aircraft in service at present, and I expect many of those are not immediately operational. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_United_Kingdom_military_aircraft.
A relative few (including me) saw through part-Jew poseur “Boris” from the beginning, maybe 15+ years ago. Only recently did that become the majority. It is clear to almost all now that he simply does not have the ability to be a Prime Minister. Yes, he also lacks the decency and the ethics, but first and foremost he lacks the ability.
Loonies like that are apparently increasingly common in North America.
I cannot remember when exactly it was that I blogged about (inter alia) the 1980s/1990s Greenham Common (UK) “peace women”, but I expect my commentary can be found via the search function on the blog. Similar loonies.
“The missiles were removed by reason of NATO-Warsaw Pact negotiations. The “Women’s Peace Camp” was a complete waste of time and effort.
“A series of meetings held during August and September 1986 culminated in a summit between United States President Ronald Reaganand the General Secretary of the CPSUMikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavík, Iceland, on 11 October 1986. To the surprise of both men’s advisers, the two agreed in principle to removing INF systems from Europe and to equal global limits of 100 INF missile warheads.
The United States and the Soviet Union signed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 1987, which led to the removal of all nuclear missiles from the base. The last GLCMs at RAF Greenham Common were removed in March 1991, and the 501st TMW inactivated on 4 June 1991.” [Wikipedia]
Incidentally and incredibly, even though the last missiles left Greenham Common in 1991, even though the Americans left Greenham in 1992 and even though the UK Ministry of Defence closed the base in 1993, putting it up for sale (the area being almost all designated by 1997 as public parkland), the “Greenham Women” stayed, some of them, until 2000! To me that proves that without their having “political activism” to do, some of them had nothing to do with their time or their lives. They were unable to accept that their protests (for 19 years!) had actually achieved nothing and in any case had been superseded by large-scale international events. Like the Japanese soldier in the 1970s, fighting a lone war in the jungle, 30 years after the Pacific War had ended.“

Latest news from reliable sources is that Alison has been moved into a new cell, and she now has a “lovely view” out of her window onto a well-kept garden with a lawn, a gardener, a picnic table and a duck pond complete with mallards and 15 ducklings.
Alison has by now already served about a quarter of her 11-week (headline, 22-week) sentence. To date, 18 days out of 77.

Well, it may be “propaganda”, but it is also most certainly true. Britain would not survive a nuclear attack, not as any form of state or nation that we recognize. Millions dead, millions more in agony from blast, fire, or radiation. Almost all infrastructure destroyed. Anarchy/chaos on the streets. The blacks in any surviving big cities running wild. No food, almost no water. No hope.
Is that what the NWO/ZOG “elected” dictatorship —now incompetently running the UK— wants? Notionally, to support the NWO/ZOG Kiev regime of the Jew, Zelensky, but with the not-unlikely result of a nuclear exchange. Madness.
Incidentally, reading the part of that report noting a Russian TV debate, it occurred to me that there is more real free speech now in Russia than there is in the UK. What a world…
This madness has to be reined in now, while that is still possible.
Ukraine military situation:
[Daily Mail map showing state of play as of 29 April 2022]
Nothing outwardly startling. Having said that, it seems that the limited Ukrainian counter-attacks seen in past weeks have run out of steam. None are shown on the above map, at least.
It seems (thanks to the msm pro-Ukrainian bias, we have make educated guesses, because the msm is not reporting properly) that the forces of the Kiev regime are running out of fuel. Maybe ammunition as well.
If the Daily Mail map is accurate, there is a sustained Russian push south from around Izyum, and a similar push further to the south-east, both pushing into areas of the central part of southeast Ukraine.
Russia may not be “winning” this terrible mess of an invasion/war, but it is not “losing” either, not yet. In the end, Russia can, in theory, destroy Ukraine completely, though that would be a terrible thing and, to use the old expression, a terrible sin.
If only the invasion had been planned and executed properly. Then it would have been completed within a week or two, Zelensky captured, killed, or exiled, and a different Kiev/Ukraine government put in place.
The Russian General Staff and intelligence services seem to be almost useless in the post-Soviet, “Putinist”, era.
A few thoughts about the French Presidential Election 2022
The mistress also, previously, had an involvement with the son of Nicholas Sarkozy, himself a part-Jew.
What strikes me immediately is that, had Zemmour not been a candidate, effectively all of his vote would have gone to Marine le Pen, who would then have received over 30% of the vote and been seen as front-runner.
Having said that, Macron still won fairly easily in the second round— 58.5% to Marine le Pen’s 41.5%. Two factors: the Melenchon vote, that part of it that did not abstain in the second round, went mainly to Macron; presumably mostly non-white voters. The second factor was the ennui that led to a low turnout (71.9%), the lowest in over 50 years.
As in the UK, there is no significant or credible social-national party in France. Though I myself can agree with some views or policies of both Marine le Pen and Zemmour, neither is truly social-national, and of course Zemmour is a Jew.
Were there a credible and genuine social-national party in France, it could probably either get a majority in a presidential election, or enough support to take over in another way.

I have recently been watching a few “Nordic noirs” on TV. Most recently, a Danish thriller. The absurd thing was the number of blacks and other non-whites, not only in the street but also, and in particular, playing politicians, senior officials etc.
Either pure propaganda, or an alarming reflection of reality. I have never been to Denmark, so do not know.
In the UK, TV ads have now become completely taken over by the multikulti propaganda, the mixed couples, with (usually) the black man as “husband”-figure, and the white woman (often blonde) as “wife”-character.

If the military situation becomes seriously worse for Russia and/or, for example, if the war spreads actively to Poland later in the year, when the weather again turns very cold, Russia will turn off the gas taps, and Poland will freeze (and its industries stop dead).
Raus!
I have occasionally noted on this blog the strange fact that so many Twitter-twits who have made malicious official complaints about me, attacked me, or made comments about me, have suffered serious medical or other problems, in some cases terminal. That trend has continued, with the green bottles falling one by one off the wall, as in the old song.
I note, also, that one particular Balkan fraud (who shall be nameless, for now), and who used to delight in tweeting maliciously about me, seems to have gone completely mad, claiming that NHS doctors and nurses have deliberately injured her by sticking needles into her. “Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad“, in the old saying.
I see that a number of Jew-Zionist and/or “antifa” trolls have either ceased to post (about me, and in some cases generally) on Twitter, and are either not around at all now, or have locked their Twitter accounts.
Good riddance. Raus!

For myself, my Twitter account (with thousands of “followers”), was shut down in 2018, after a concerted plan by Jew-Zionists, running for years, was fully implemented. I doubt that I shall ask to be “allowed” back. For one thing, the very idea of having to ask a favour of some little Twitter office-bod makes me livid; secondly, Twitter’s influence is vastly over-rated anyway. I see no real point in returning.
“At church this morning people who never come to church, arrived with their newly delivered pet Ukrainian refugees in tow. Actual real ones surprisingly, two white women.
Far more than is normal, the church reeked of sanctimony and confected compassion as a result. As you imagine, the prayers of intercession were unctuous and insufferable.
The two women reminded me of the Ukrainian girl in Derry girls; Miserable, taciturn, unimpressed, ungrateful.
However, God, who was clearly fed up with this appalling show of cod virtue, intervened. At coffee afterwards one of the Ukrainians said that the war need never have started and that Zelensky was a cocaine addict and a crook. The second Ukrainian piped up and offered that the war was caused by the E.U. and that Zelensky should have surrendered on day one. I have never seen such crestfallen faces since the Brexit vote was announced.
Asked how they had escaped they said without hesitation; “The Russians got us out”.
To add insult to injury, a few more MSM myths were put to sleep and a sombre and deflated congregation was left somewhat bereft. Thanks be to God: It was wonderful to behold his works at hand.”
Provenance unknown, but it has the ring of truth.
I have met relatively few Ukrainians, but a few were of the sort mentioned. Others, however, were very different.
An old couple on a train in south-east Poland in December 1988, the husband of the couple with several gold teeth, and both talking in broken Russian at me, beaming happily through their fairly obvious poverty.
Another was a charming girl, Lena, who worked as a receptionist at the British Embassy in Almaty (Kazakhstan), where I lived in 1996-1997 (until the late 1990s, Kazakhstan had many minority populations, the result of deportations during the time of Stalin).
The number two man at the Embassy, the Second Secretary (the Ambassador was also the First Secretary), a Basil Fawlty lookalike, had (I heard) proposed marriage to that receptionist, but despite having gone to Surrey (I think Surrey; maybe Hampshire) with him to meet his parents, she declined his offer in the end.
After my time in Almaty was over, I heard that that young woman had died, still in her mid or late twenties, of cancer. Very sad. As for the said Second Secretary of the British Embassy, he returned to London and was, not very long after that, in the late 1990s, appointed H.M. Ambassador to Rwanda.
We see now that the USA (meaning NWO/ZOG) has been continuing with its post-Soviet strategy of weakening Russia to the point that Russia can never again be regarded as a “superpower”, and beyond that weakness to a point where the USA is the only superpower and can dictate terms in every area to Russia (and the rest of the world).
That State Department paper, first leaked in the 1990s, is clearly still the basis, no longer hidden, of US policy in the foreign affairs area.
Russia has one obvious trump card, as had the Soviet Union or, as British diplomats used to call it, “Upper Volta with rockets“.
However shambolic the Soviet Union was in some respects, no-one doubted that most of its long-range missile and inter-continental ballistic missiles [ICBMs] worked. They could be launched, they might be launched and, if they were, most would reach their targets.
The same is true of the unsatisfactory, ideology-deficient Russia of 2022.
Forget the froth about Jew oligarchs’ mega-yachts and travel restrictions, forget the Moscow middle classes losing their jobs and lifestyles. All that scarcely touches deep Russia. In fact, the economic sanctions may actually help the poorer Russians, in that, if Russia finds it hard to export, then whatever is produced will cost less on the domestic market. I mean the things the bulk of Russians need on an everyday basis, such as food, construction materials etc.
Russia still has those missiles. They still work, most of them, as has been seen in Ukraine, where various kinds of missiles have been used (mostly launched from Russia or from under the surface of the sea). They have reached their targets and have detonated, most of them.
The USA, UK and general Western leaderships are determined (under the direction of the secret ruling circles of NWO/ZOG) to keep funnelling arms to the Kiev regime. Britain (Boris-idiot) is even going to send Challenger tanks, we read in the msm.
It seems that the NWO/ZOG rulers of the UK, USA etc are willing to do anything, whatever it takes, not even only to defend the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, but also to bleed Russia dry as it attempts to continue to prosecute this invasion and/or war.
There seems to be an assumption that Russia will either give up, returning to pre-2022 boundaries, or will continue with the war of attrition until —if it succeeds— it controls Ukraine south of Kiev, east of the Dnieper and, in the south, to a line maybe 100 miles north of the Black Sea and Sea of Azov.
The latter situation was, and remains, my assumption too: Russian occupation of eastern and southern Ukraine, eventually leading to occupation of both Kiev and Odessa.
However, what if, under increasing pressure from the Western allies (mainly USA and UK), Russia, meaning Putin, feels that it cannot achieve those limited objectives? What if Russian forces are, or are in danger of, truly “losing” this war, of being pushed back behind Russia’s pre-2022, 2014, or even 2012 frontiers? What if that were to happen, and the Ukrainian proxies were to continue to build up their strength with Western help, and on a massive scale? Moscow is only 500 miles from Kiev, and only 300 miles from Ukrainian territory at the nearest point.
At present, Putin ‘s forces are increasing the damage to Ukraine’s infrastructure and logistical capability, using more powerful but still conventional (non-nuclear) weapons. There will surely be a surge in Russian troop numbers and deployments as well. Those, together, might break the Kiev regime. If not, there would still remain the ghastly possibility of the use of tactical or battlefield nuclear weapons.
How far any tactical use of nuclear weapons could go before the war spilled over into Poland, a NATO power, is uncertain. Radioactivity might cross borders, but even without that, could this war be contained within the borders of Ukraine? I do not know.
How far can Russia be pushed? How far can NATO accept Russian advances or gains before NATO gets involved directly? I do not know.
Beyond even that horrific possibility, what if Putin and those with actual command and control decide to go for broke, to change the game completely, to change the international order completely, and perhaps to emerge stronger but 200 years later? What if the “big red button” (so to speak) is pushed?
The fact is that Russia has 6,200 nuclear weapons (we are told), most of them missiles, most of them said to be operational. Even if we discount that by half or three-quarters, and leave a notional 1,500 long-range and inter-continental missiles available, that gives the Russian leadership a very big stick.
Should Russia launch a nuclear strike on the USA and UK using say 500 missiles (after all Russia’s eagle looks both ways, and China is still there), and even if “only” 10% of such missiles detonate on target, that is still, say, 50 missiles, that means Goodbye Britain, almost entirely, even if only 10 missiles hit.
It also means that the USA might suffer, at least, say 40 hits on major installations and cities.
Let’s say that the top 10 cities —by population or other significance— are wiped out: Washington DC, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, maybe Dallas, San Francisco, San Diego. Also, 30 other strikes: maybe Silicon Valley, San Fernando Valley, Imperial Valley (which produces a very high percentage of the US’s fruits and vegetables), Seattle, Palo Alto, and other hi-tech centres.
On the more obviously military and naval side, there might be strikes on CIA headquarters, Langley (near Washington DC), on major naval ports, on command and control centres, on Fort Bragg, Fort Meade, Fort Dietrich.
Could American society survive such an attack? I think not, looking at the sluggish response to, say, Hurricane Katrina etc. The USA would only recover after 100-200 years.
Russia’s major cities and centres of military power would also be hit and destroyed in such a ghastly scenario, but the core Russian people, out in the country, would still be there, probably, living on a basic level.
This is a path down which the world should not go. The West should not have started to re-arm the Kiev regime; it should certainly not continue to build up the power of the Zelensky regime. The main sufferers are the Ukrainian civilians and their companion animals. The West should have let Russia take the south and east, in effect.
There seems to be the belief in the Western power-circles that Putin would not launch a strategic nuclear attack because Russia would also suffer. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction. Very logical. Trouble is, people are not always logical. As a matter of fact, is it logical in the first place? One side might just say “yes we both get hit, but 200 years down the line, we will be pre-eminent, and the other side not“…

” [After the end of the American Civil War, Robert E.] Lee also expressed his “willingness that blacks should be educated, and … that it would be better for the blacks and for the whites.” Lee forthrightly opposed allowing blacks to vote: “My own opinion is that, at this time, they [black Southerners] cannot vote intelligently, and that giving them the [vote] would lead to a great deal of demagogism, and lead to embarrassments in various ways.” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Lee].
I suppose that most of my blog readers imagine that I oppose blacks, or the majority of blacks, voting in the UK. They are not wrong if that is their guess, but where my blog readers may be surprised is that I regard the majority of white English people presently around no differently.

Frankly, the general level of white English people in the UK now is little better than that of the “blacks and browns” living here.
