“At 17 he falls in love quite madly with eyes of azure blue, At 24 he gets it rather badly with eyes of a different hue. At 36 you’ll find him flirting sadly with two or three or more; When he fancies he is past love, It is then he meets his last love, And he loves her as he’s never loved before.”
1917, a different age, and with rather different use of language, looking at the title of the song!

I disagree with Goodwin there on one point: “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) does not need to be involved in negotiations to end the war, because Zelensky’s cabal has no legitimacy and, crucially, without outside help the Kiev regime side would collapse in weeks, maybe even in days. The Kiev regime is only a player in the war by proxy, not by reason of its own power.

Do idiots like that Finn, or Starmer, understand that, if European states give the Kiev regime a “security guarantee” (because the USA will not), and that then leads to direct conflict with Russia without any US backing for Europe, those European states might end up devastated by nuclear weapons, with the US taking no part.
Don’t pretend that even all the European NATO states combined could “win” (in any sense) against Russia. In any case, only a few states are truly on board with this stupid “fight Russia” idea.
That smug Finn thinks he is so clever, when he seems to me to be utterly stupid.

[The Slavs invite the Varangian/Viking Rurik to be their ruler: “We are rich but divided; come and rule over us“]
“Plans to give staff the right to ignore bosses’ messages outside of working hours are set to be dropped by the government this week.
The proposal to grant workers a ‘right to switch off’ formed a central part of Sir Keir Starmer‘s manifesto vow to establish a ‘new deal for working people’.
But the policy will be scrapped to reduce the impact on businesses that are preparing for tax increases starting next month as a result of Rachel Reeves’s Budget last autumn.
Labour had vowed to copy countries such as Belgium, Ireland, and France which allow workers to avoid emails, texts and phone calls received out of hours, without fear of reprisals.
They wanted to introduce the policy following the surge in home-working to prevent Brits’ homes becoming ’24/7 offices’.
However, on Tuesday ministers will confirm that the policy has been dropped from the Employment Rights Bill when they table a series of amendments.“
[Daily Mail]
So one of the very few Labour pre-General Election 2024 “pledges” that might actually have helped British people has now been scrapped.
Meanwhile, stupid Starmer is throwing billions of taxpayer money at both “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) and the continuing migration-invasion of the UK.
[“No, wait! I voted Labour in 2024!“]
A “lost” book review or two found
Round about 2010-2011, some Jews, and one in particular, pressured Amazon or its employees to remove my book reviews. At the time, I was a voted-for “top reviewer” (I think, “top 40”, or maybe 50). The Jew (an “IT” worker, whose name and location — now in Ra’anana, Israel— I know) managed to get me barred from reviewing on both Amazon UK and Amazon USA (so much for American “free speech”).
All my reviews, about 700, were removed. Incidentally, 90% of them did not mention Jews, Zionism, or Israel, or indeed the “holocaust” farrago.
However, some were backed-up elsewhere. I have just found some. Here are a couple:
“One picture is worth a thousand words, in the well-worn phrase. For me, one personal account is worth any number of accounts written by people decades later and purporting to be “true stories”. The same goes for histories of a time in which the historian has not lived. This is why history is a moveable feast.
In this book, the author (at time of publication still living prosperously in Switzerland) is a Jewish teenage boy whose parents had emigrated from the Ukraine after the Revolution. His father started a mineral water plant in Berlin. With the coming of Hitler,the NSDAP and the Third Reich, trading and living conditions became gradually more difficult for Jews in the Reich, though most remained.
The book (in an Afterword) gives statistics about Jewish emigration from Germany in the 1930s, which show that in the early and mid 1930s the exodus was in the region of, initially, a few tens of thousands per year, that despite the fact that the Reich government encouraged Jews to emigrate (but required most of their property or gains to be left behind).
The author was, in 1941, in a countryside “camp” (actually, in a normal building) run by a Jewish organization under supervision of the Reich authorities. The “camp” was in fact composed of young Jewish persons who were expected to do a bit of grasscutting, treefelling etc. He was not under guard and in fact wandered around the country observing this and that. Though once arrested, he spent only one night in custody before being sent back to his temporary home.
The author wanted to be a graphic designer and in fact even in 1941 had been enrolled in an art school reserved for Jews in Berlin.
The above facts seem unremarkable, yet one has to remember that, today, most people in the UK, USA etc, if they think about the point at all, would think that either when Hitler took power (1933) or at least when war broke out ((1939) such a person would be hunted down and placed in a real camp; but no! Here we are in 1941 and the author himself,a Jew and, it seems, a Zionist, at that, tells a different and to my mind wholly credible story.
However, the situation of the author became much worse in 1942. His father was arrested, it seems for something to do with black market butter. There were plans afoot for Jews to be deported to the East: Britain and France, among other countries (Switzerland, USA) had been unwilling to accept the bulk of Jewish deportees from the Reich throughout the 1930s and the idea of sending the Jewish population to either Palestine or Madagascar had been blocked by the colonial powers (the British Empire and France). The book tells of how the initial mustering of the Jewish population in Berlin was done without guards, without Gestapo, without SS, by Jewish officials appointed by the Jewish/Zionist authorities.
The author lived for a while as an “exempted” worker in a factory but then decided he had to take the plunge and live illegally. He was helped by his facility in forging passes and letters and by the fact that he did not look particularly Semitic. He even went beyond survival and started to forge documents for an anti-Hitler group which included some well-connected persons who were part-Jews allowed to live relatively unmolested in large villas around the capital and elsewhere.
Finally, in 1943, the author made his bid for freedom, using his non-Jewish looks, forged passes and other documents and a bicycle (Jews were, at least notionally, forbidden to own them) to get to that part of Germany which abuts Switzerland. He escaped across a stream and was, after a couple of days, given not only asylum but a grant on which he might lived while studying.
The author makes no claims to sainthood and indeed few to victimhood, but just tells his own story honestly (I think) and clearly.
Well worth reading.“
[Title of book reviewed now unknown to me]
Another book review
“Anarchism is a very wide church, ranging from the philosophic and spiritual to the downright criminal. The high-minded anarchism comes largely from (Prince) Kropotkin, whose 19th Century opposition to Tsarism resulted in exile in London (he was a Governor of the Bromley Girls’ High School, still a leading fee-paying college) and in several books, of which Fields Factories and Workshops Tomorrow, and Mutual Aid, are the best known (he opposed social Darwinism by preferring social symbiosis, having observed the latter in the animal and plant worlds). The more criminal stream came from almost mindlessly angry bombers like Bakunin. I have to say that while Christie shows elements of both in his psychology, he is nearer to the latter, as he implies in this book.
Christie details his attempt, as a young fool (which I think he would admit!) to kill Franco in 1964, smuggling explosives in his kilt from France. Carry On Up The Caudillo! In the end the efficient Spanish security service obviously had a traitor in the anarchist ranks; Christie was arrested and could have been garrotted under the cruel Spanish death penalty regime of the time. In the end he was sentenced to 12 years and spent about three years in custody. I was interested to see that (comparing his account with those of people in British prisons of the time) he was in fact treated better under the Fascist “regime” (government) than he would have been in the UK. I was also interested to read how he realized in prison that people of a very different political stamp (ex-SS, OAS members etc) were people whom he could like and respect.
What I like about Christie is his honesty. It is palpable. And I think that overall he is a decent person. I liked his distaste for bullfighting. He could not understand how his anarchistic “comrades” in prison enjoyed it. He is blind to obvious racial-cultural differences in the world. His faults? Well, naivety, firstly. Even in the 1970’s, he seems to have believed that the population of the UK were thirsting for a revolutionary change, whereas in fact they all (well, mostly) either voted for stodgy Labourism or for Mrs Thatcher! I used to occasionally read his Black Flag newspaper circa 1976 and must have been one of a very small reading public for him! He seems to have been (and is still in this book) obsessed with the supposed evils of Franco, but ignores a few facts: the Republicans in the Civil War (Communists and Anarchists etc) killed, tortured and raped to a far worse extent than Franco’s Nationalists; after the Civil War ended in 1939, Franco erected a monument to ALL the fallen; Franco released most of the imprisoned enemies after a few years (Christie admits this aspect); Franco managed to keep Spain out of WW2 (though a Fascist, he was half-Jewish and more or less stabbed his benefactor, Hitler, in the back by failing to join with the Axis. And had Christie (even in post-WW2 Red Clydeside) never heard of Stalin and the Soviet labour camps etc?
Christie strikes me as a kind of fairly simple-minded fellow, who in Cromwellian days would have been a Leveller or something similar. Under other circumstances one could even see him as, perhaps, a Jehovah’s Witness or the like.
Incidentally, both Wikipedia, and Christie’s Guardian obit, say that he was sentenced to 20 years in Spain (Wikipedia probably simply copying the newspaper version). I am pretty sure it was 12, not 20. Still, no matter now. Franco released him after about 3 years, after Christie’s mother wrote to Franco requesting clemency.
I occasionally read Christie’s newspaper, Black Flag, among many and various other journals, when I was a 19-y-o living in London in 1976.
Despite Christie’s pitifully-poor level of socio-political understanding, his was a name with which to conjure in 1976. I recall meeting a small group of anarchists, 3 or 4, in a pub in Maidenhead (no less!) that year, and his name was uttered by them with a mixture of awe and slight trepidation (because he was thought to attract the attention of the police).
Ha ha! Julia Hartley-Brewer is a complete idiot politically and, I suspect, generally. An ignorant radio loudmouth.
I always thought Boris Johnson’s am-dram portrayal of “Churchill reborn” ludicrous, and referred to it on the blog as, in the sense of Marx’s famous dictum (from The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon), “First time tragedy, second time farce“, but STARMER?! Ha ha!
Were I to say what I think should happen to Starmer and his cabal, I expect I should have the toytown police and poundland Stasi at my door (again), and that is just too boring, so I shall let my dear readers read between the lines, as happens in every police state.

Certainly puts the posturing of NWO/ZOG puppets such as Macron and Starmer in perspective.
The UK has, officially, about 70,000 men (and women, who are about 10% of the whole) in its army, but only about 5,000-10,000 truly ready to be deployed anywhere where they (may) have to fight. Germany is little better off, if at all. France has, officially, about 118,000 soldiers but only a minority are fighting troops (including the Foreign Legion).
Even if UK, France, Germany were to deploy a total of, say, 50,000 to Ukraine, that would only slow, not stop, Russian advances, would eventually kill most of the troops so deployed, and might lead to an actual war between Russia and western Europe, which Russia could not lose, were it to go nuclear (and with the USA standing back from the fight).

I am still seeing a few drunken Westminster Bubblers tweeting about how the only “solution” is for “Ukraine” (Kiev-regime Ukraine) to “be in NATO“.
Utterly asinine. Ukraine cannot join NATO for both formal and Realpolitik reasons.
Formal reasons (under the provisions of the NATO Treaty) include the fact that Ukraine itself claims that part of its territory has been invaded and is under foreign occupation; also, that a war (albeit never formally declared) currently exists between Ukraine and a foreign state. Also, because acceptance of a state into the NATO alliance requires unanimous approval of existing member-states.
The USA will never accept Ukraine into NATO, not so long as Trump is President; neither did Biden green-light the Kiev-regime’s repeated requests. A number of other states will also blackball Ukraine— Hungary for one, probably Italy, possibly Germany; maybe others too.
As to the Realpolitik reasons why Ukraine cannot join NATO, avoidance of war between NATO and Russia is the main one; also, the fact that, to date, Russia is winning the war that already exists.

The Heart that battled here The Heart that bled Has conquered Death And made Man’s peace with Heaven [Friedrich Nietzsche..early poem on Easter]
“George Buchanan (Scottish Gaelic: Seòras Bochanan; February 1506 – 28 September 1582) was a Scottish historian and humanist scholar. According to historian Keith Brown, Buchanan was “the most profound intellectual sixteenth century Scotland produced.” His ideology of resistance to royal usurpation gained widespread acceptance during the Scottish Reformation. Brown says the ease with which King James VII was deposed in 1689 shows the power of Buchananite ideas.[1]
His treatise De Jure Regni apud Scotos, published in 1579, discussed the doctrine that the source of all political power is the people, and that the king is bound by those conditions under which the supreme power was first committed to his hands, and that it is lawful to resist, even to punish, tyrants. The importance of Buchanan’s writings is shown by the suppression of his work by James VI and the British legislatures in the century following their publication. It was condemned by act of parliament in 1584, and burned by the University of Oxford in 1664 and 1683.[2]“

Trump, of course, as an American businessman, a businessman involved with real estate in, inter alia, New York City, at that, has been dealing with the American Jewish business element for his whole life, pretty much.

It looks increasingly likely that Russian tanks will be at the gates of Kiev before very long, probably in 2026 if not later in 2025.
It is actually laughable that “little Britons” such as Dan Hodges, among many, think in terms of the supposed importance of royal invitations etc, and how “crushing” to such as Trump (and, notionally, Putin etc) being disinvited to some visit or meeting must be. They really are living in a little parochial Westminster Bubble. I love the (now long-defunct) British Empire, but that was then. The world has now moved to a different place.
Dan Hodges, Rory Stewart, all that type, think that the UK can “take a stand” against Trump (and the USA), after having been “America’s poodle” for at least 35 years if not 85 years.
I love that all these enemies of Britain’s better future, and Europe’s better future, are being put in their place by proxy.

The main thing, though, is that the international agenda, and indeed the post-1945 international order, is being reset. Britain is not involved, not as a player. It is, at most, an object, as are the other western and central European states.
This is the down-the-line result of Europe’s defeat in the Second World War. Europe was defeated, in big-picture terms, by western oligarchy (the USA) and eastern despotism (the Soviet Union), mainly. The UK started to be a vassal-state of the USA.
Now, the USA finds that it does not really need the UK even as “America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier” as someone (F.D. Roosevelt?) once called it. Result? Vassal-state UK has been dismissed by Trump’s USA, as has Starmer.

I think that we can now take it as read that, barring accidents, Russia and the USA will not be getting into a nuclear war. Whatever one may think of Trump, in that respect God must be with him, to put it in conventional terms.
That leaves the European powers. The only ones of significance are the UK and France (mainly because of their nuclear weapons), Poland, and Germany (Poland because of the size of its army and its probable morale, Germany because of its large amount of up-to-date transport, armament etc).
The UK and France would be mad to try to threaten the use of or, a fortiori, deploy in combat nuclear weapons. Any nuclear response by Russia would destroy Britain utterly. As for France, the same applies, except that France is nearly 2.5x the size of the UK.
I think that what we are looking at (unless there is a real armistice Russia-Ukraine, which is unlikely) is a continuation of the war, with the UK, France, Germany supplying even more arms, armament, and money to the Kiev regime, but probably failing to plug the gap left by withdrawal of most American assistance.
If the Americans also withdraw their intelligence aid to the Kiev regime, Russian forces will find their progress in the war easier.
The Kiev-regime side is now very short of actual “boots on the ground”. It is even thinking of extending the draft to those aged 18-24, so far immune from conscription.

Russia is not the old Soviet Union (“Sovyetsky Soyuz”) or “Soviet Onion”, as the Soviet Union was sometimes called (also, disparagingly, “Upper Volta with rockets”); it has no interest in invading Western (or even Eastern) Europe, though it does wish to protect itself from NWO/ZOG NATO encroachment (hence the war in Ukraine and the tensions in the Baltic region or “pribaltika” etc, those regions which Russians call the “near-abroad”).
That Moore person strikes me as a bit of a twit, despite his high rank, career background etc.
Come to think of it, the current Director-General of MI5 also strikes me as a bit of a twit. I suppose that, if the UK is falling to pieces in some respects, the security and intelligence services cannot be immune from it all.

James Wilson was the successful claimant in the fairly recent libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor.
It looks very much as if the self-publicizing Jewish solicitor Mark Lewis once again gave advice that was both professionally negligent and dishonest. As a result, one of the two surviving Jewish defendants, Cantor, will probably be losing his family home in order to satisfy the costs of the successful claimant, Wilson.
Newbon was a vituperative social media troll and Israel fanatic. If I have understood the matter correctly, he was also misled by Lewis and other Jews, and killed himself during the currency of the legal case, and after his wife, kept in the dark up to that point, discovered that his actions might mean the loss of their family home.
As to the egregious Lewis, I have written quite a lot about him in the past: see
That blog post contains links to other relevant posts.
As to Lewis’s claim that he was only aggressive on social media by reason of short-term use of drugs for medical purposes circa 2015/2016, well…he was abusing me on Twitter as early as 2011, together with, at first, his then wife, Caroline Feraday, a very minor London radio/TV wannabee “celebrity” of the late 1990s (they relocated to California, but were divorced after a year by reason of his abusive behaviour towards her etc. Lewis then returned to the Golders Green area of London but now lives much of the time in Israel).
See those blog posts for further details.
Lewis continued to conspire with other Jews (all connected with the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, and/or “UK Lawyers for Israel” or “UKLFI”) to have me disbarred, questioned by police, even —ultimately— prosecuted. An obsessive campaign that has continued for about 15 years, so far.

Well, slightly to my surprise, I defeated political journalist John Rentoul once again this week. Rentoul scored 4/10, but I trumped that, scoring 6/10 (admittedly, was unsure about question 8). I did not know the answers to questions 1, 2, 4, and 5.
Journalistic accuracy
Never accept, without checking, whatever a journalistic scribbler may say. I was just reading a not-uninteresting piece in The Oldie magazine, and about the Metropolitan Police in the 1970s, which article was written in 2023 by Duncan Campbell, a well-known journalist and author who was, arguably, better-known in the 1980s than he now is.
Reading Campbell’s nicely-written piece, I notice that he says (in 2023) of the famous or infamous ex-cat burglar, Peter Scott, that “Scott now lives in a council flat in King’s Cross, the proceeds from the odd Vermeer and Sophia Loren’s diamonds long gone.“
As a matter of fact, I reviewed Scott’s memoirs on Amazon UK many years ago now.
My Amazon book reviews are now unavailable— the usual pack of Jews had me “cancelled” about 15 years ago, around 2010, from reviewing books both on Amazon UK (where I was one of the top book reviewers) and Amazon USA. A Jew formerly resident in the UK but now living in Ra’anana (a suburb-town in the Tel Aviv area of Israel/Occupied Palestine) was the main instigator.
Scott lived, in his heyday, in the less-prestigious outer part of Maida Vale, whereas I lived at one time in Little Venice (also part of Maida Vale):
My (intermittent, from 1976 to 1996) times in Little Venice overlapped with Scott’s time in the area (he used the tiny “gangster pub”, the Windsor Castle, in Lanark Place, a pub at one time supposedly owned by Barbara Windsor, who was tied up with all sorts of gangsters and other criminals).
[The old Windsor Castle pub, in Lanark Place W.9., not to be confused with another and much larger pub with the same name in the outer regions of Maida Vale by Harrow Road; I believe both are now permanently closed, the Little Venice one (above) now trading as a Korean food outlet. Sign of the times…]
I occasionally had a drink there. One morning, waiting for the no.6 bus to take me to the High Court (I was appearing as Counsel), I observed the aftermath of a police raid there; about 3 or 4 police cars blocking Lanark Place. God knows why.
A flying boat capable of going nearly 6,000 miles without refuelling, at a cruising speed of 360 mph; maximum speed 380 mph.
The 105 passengers were carried in First and Tourist cabins.
As with the 1930s German airships, the Empire flying boats made in the UK were in some respects superior to the flying machines of today. As Francis Bacon observed, just because a thing is superseded by another thing does not mean that the latter is superior.
[“The Russian military struck Ukrainian infrastructure over the past day, the Defense Ministry reported: https://vk.cc/cIPYtl“— TASS]
“Labour must stop looking down on voters and start taking fears over immigration seriously”, says the Labour Prime Minister who has no plan for stopping the boats and is further liberalising the entire immigration system …
“Boris Johnson is no threat. He is the architect of all the decline & chaos you see around you today, all the mass uncontrolled immigration. If an architect destroyed your home you would never invite him back.”
[Matt Goodwin]
The only “threat” is that a huge number of dummies have still, after everything, not yet awoken to the utter uselessness of “Boris” Johnson.
I think that I can claim to have been one of the first not personally acquainted with Johnson to have realized that he was not only unfit morally to be MP, minister, and then Prime Minister, but actually intellectually incapable of doing any of those jobs.
I expressed my views first on Amazon book reviews from about 2002 (but was “cancelled” by Jewish lobby pressure sometime around 2010 or 2011); then on Twitter from 2010 until Jews again brought pressure on Twitter to “cancel” me (in 2018). Also, on the blog from 2017 to present.
Having said that, there are still a huge number of idiots, mainly Conservative Party members and voters, still willing to support “Boris”, so it is not inconceivable that he could return to Parliament, get Carpetbagger Kemi binned, then take over the “Conservative” Party again. I doubt, though, that that would propel the Cons to victory over Lab; it might save some existing Con Party seats, however.
If the Cons were set to lose about 80 seats, the loss might be reduced by half. Most of Reform’s likely victories henceforth, though, will be in seats presently held by Labour, not by the Con Party.
I remember that. I mentioned the matter on the blog a day or two before the “Ukrainians” (creatures of Zelensky’s regime) killed him.

Looks as if Goodwin has woken up to what I have been blogging for many years. My blog post below (updated frequently) dates from 2019…
To guess at likely election results 4 years ahead of time is to go where the angels fear to tread, of course, but why should I stop now?!
To my mind, assuming we avoid nuclear war etc, the result of the next UK general election will be something like Reform UK 30%, Labour 25%, Con 18%, LibDems maybe 12%, Greens maybe 8%.
That would in turn result in Reform UK having 319 Commons seats (Lab 157, LibDem 60, Con 50, Greens 4 etc).
A Reform UK on the brink of an overall majority, but look at the Con Party! 50 seats, and only 4th placed behind Reform, Labour, and the LibDems. Terminal.
Unfortunately, I cannot see much chance, as yet, for a genuinely social-national party to emerge. The rise of Reform has taken the wind out of those sails. Still, all roads lead to Rome…
The same people that told you they were winning in Vietnam, that Saddam was about to attack you, that Afghanistan was a "Win" and that Biden was "Sharp as a tack"
Have told you Russia is the aggressor. And that Ukraine is a Democracy?
At a general election, that would translate to about 221 Reform UK seats (Lab 181, Con 121, LibDem 66 etc), so a Reform UK minority government, presumably reliant on Con
The more I think about it, the less I believe that any but a few will vote for the Con Party, especially now that it is headed by a Nigerian carpetbagger. Kemi Badenoch, “Carpetbagger Kemi”.
Most people, even after decades of brainwashing in schools, the msm etc, still want the UK Prime Minister to be properly British, i.e. white Northern European.
Seems that the “Conservatives” learned nothing from having been ruled by the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.
Also, where do “Conservative” policies markedly differ from those of Starmer-Labour?
Wrong. Brexit did not put mass uncontrolled low skill immigration on steroids. Elites did.

…and tweeter “Elizabeth Chandler” should learn to spell before she tries to use big words to appear well-informed! (it’s “exponentially“, not “expidentialy“…).
Pseudo-“Conservative” greaseball Fraser Nelson is another total finance-capitalist, globalist, multikulti, puppet. One of the worst influences (and/or influencers) in the UK’s corrupt political and journalistic milieux.
I had not seen anything from that grifting loonie for a couple of years, as far as I can remember. She tweeted, earlier today, that anyone in the UK who did not (her word) “hate” Elon Musk had an IQ below room temperature. Well, while I myself do not agree with everything Musk says or does, I probably agree more than disagree, and my IQ was once (admittedly 40 years ago) measured at 156— I think that it probably stacks up well enough even today against that of grifting political idiot “Supertanskiii” (though one can almost admire someone who has made a living for years doing little but swearing online at “the Tories“, albeit that she has also been able to get State monies via the benefits system).
I have not heard so much from that kind of online pseudo-political “grifter” recently.
Fraudulent fake “cook”, “Jack Monroe”, has been comprehensively exposed and become obscure (I doubt that her rubbish ever appears in newspapers or major magazines any more); that Jewish fraud from Essex calling himself “Man Behaving Dadly”, Simon-something (Harris?), has apparently disappeared too, he having conned naive Essex County Council out of over £600,000.
Others have also seen their brief time of influence ebb away, such as non-practising medical doctor and facemask purveyor, Julia Grace Patterson. That one has now, it seems, almost given up trying to make money out of online “grifting”, and has not tweeted since November 2024, though she remains on the pathetic “Blue Sky” site, and has most recently (late 2024) been flogging Christmas cards online (while still pretending to be an active NHS doctor and health “activist”).
As I predicted a year ago, those sort of pseudo-political fake “activists” have found that their modus operandi of pretending to be tribunes of the people against the (admittedly) wicked “Tories” cuts little ice now that the said “Tories” have been replaced by a fake “Labour” government as bad as, or worse than, the “Conservatives” they replaced.

[Matt Goodwin]
The tipping point may have been reached for Reform UK, and also for the once-great Conservative Party. Only time will tell. It is natural for people to assume that large political organizations, states, religions etc go on for ever. Not so.
Having seen a bit of what happened in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when socialism died across Europe and elsewhere, I know that large structures can indeed collapse rather unexpectedly, albeit after long periods of slow preparatory weakness.
When you look at who votes or intends to vote Conservative now, you are really looking, mainly looking, at retired people or people close to retirement.
People who have seen Britain, certainly British cities and towns, turn from being white (i.e. British) to being largely black and brown (etc).
People who have seen large social and economic enterprises (water supply, railways, telephone system, bus network, Royal Mail etc), whatever faults they had, become often unresponsive and failing private-profit bodies.
People who have seen the great institutions of the State fail, and continue to fail, badly— police, courts, judges, legal system, prisons, NHS, border control, immigration control, Army, Navy, Air Force. Civil Service. Royal Family too. All useless, or rapidly becoming so.
What is the rotting head of that failure? The political system, Parliament, MPs, and the now-ludicrous House of Lords.
So when those people go to vote, how will they vote, those disenchanted, angry, let-down people, especially those aged 50+? Not for Labour, which (as I said on the blog for years) has become mainly the party of the “blacks and browns” and in general those dependent on the State for money and/or employment. Only the naive and fairly comfortably-off, in certain places, vote LibDem.
Conservative MPs mismanaged the UK for 14 years 2010-2025. Huge immigration, including the continuing “small boats” invasion. NHS failures. The “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic. Much else besides.
The only reason many older people stuck with the Conservative Party was the State Pension “triple lock”. Then the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, reneged on that (for one year), though he reinstated it the following year. I think that that badly damaged trust.
In my judgment, things are now so bad in the UK and, importantly, seen to be getting worse, and rapidly, that many are willing to leave their old habits and loyalties behind, and to vote Reform. By no means only former Con Party voters. Labour ones too. Look at the case of Lee Anderson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Anderson_(British_politician).
So who is really going to vote “Conservative” in 2028 or 2029? I should say mainly those who are old or very old, who are set in their ways and in their habitual loyalties and, of those, who are fairly comfortably-off in their retirement, and whose local areas have not (yet) been badly-affected by migration-invasion etc.
I do not think that msm commentators have quite factored-in the significance of the Con Party now having a non-white leader. Yes, not the first one, but then look at Sunak’s electoral meltdown.
I would have put that middle-aged/elderly Con-voting group, and or with others willing to vote Con, as adding up to somewhere around 20% of the voting population (General Election 2024— 23.7%) but now I am inclined to think that, by 2028/2029, it may be as low as 15%. On that basis, the Conservative Party may be at the end of the line.
Using Electoral Calculus, and with Con 15%, Labour 25%, LibDem 15%, Greens 10%, and Reform UK 30% (its likely maximum), that would result in a House of Commons with 330 Reform MPs, 163 Lab, 72 LibDem, 20 Con, 4 Green (etc). Reform Commons majority.
Were Reform to get a lesser vote (25%), the result would change to Reform 220, Lab 208, LibDem 76, Con 49 (etc). Still no comfort for the Con Party; only fourth party in Commons.
The Conservatives would have to get 20% overall even to stay where they now are (121 seats). I doubt they will do it.

That tweeter is the ex-wife of an MP removed last year by the voters. For over three decades, she herself worked for him at Westminster, generously paid out of his Parliamentary expenses. She seems to be pro-immigration, pro-Israel, and anti-Russian, inter alia. Seems to be rather bitter in several ways. She is also wrong in most of her (evidently strongly-held) political judgments.
Certainly, so far as the Ukraine situation is concerned, Russia will not accept NATO forces there, even if under “peacekeeping” auspices. Anyway, contrary to that tweeter’s assertion, Russia need not accept any such forces. Russia is, slowly, winning, advancing daily in most parts of eastern Ukraine.
The war will conclude once Russia has occupied all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper. Why then would Russia accept “peacekeepers” who would be NATO troops under another label? Not the USA? Not the very weak UK. Not Germany. Once Macron stops trying to grandstand as a latter-day Napoleon, not France, either.
I do agree, overall, with the tweeter mentioned, though, about the CCHQ tweet below:
“Culture” or society does matter, in my view, but very few will look at Kemi Badenoch and think “now that’s the kind of person who should be Prime Minister“…

Senator van Hollen obviously has no idea how Roosevelt ripped off the British Empire in various ways, not least by turning the Caribbean, at the time (pre-1941) pretty much a British lake, into what it later became and still is, basically an American sphere of influence, albeit nominally in co-operation with the UK.

Thoughts about “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer’s latest nonsense
Starmer has now commented that he may decide to plant British “boots on the ground” in Ukraine. This is a comment which could only be made by someone with no grasp at all of geopolitical realities, and no thought at all for the welfare of the British people.
So what happens if/when serious fighting breaks out between the forces of the Russian Federation and those of the Kiev regime? Presumably, Starmer will want them to fight on the side of the Kiev-regime forces, i.e. against those of the Russian Federation, unless the British forces would just stand there, or retreat westward.
At that point, a NATO nuclear-armed state’s forces would be in direct armed conflict with Russian nuclear-armed forces. What happens when the Brit forces, maybe thousands of them, are destroyed? Send another tranche? How so, when the battle-ready UK Army numbers around 30,000 (some say fewer)?
Has Starmer thought this through? I think not. He’s useless.
Apart from anything else, the Russian Government would inevitably see the presence of NATO troops in Ukraine, whether designated as “peacekeeping forces” or not, as tantamount to a NATO force in Ukraine and on the side of the Kiev regime.
Madness.

“This story just breaking in The Telegraph must spell the end of Lord Hermer’s time as Attorney General. It’s been disclosed Hermer fought for compensation for Mustafa al-Hawsawi , one of the plotters of 9/11 where 2,900 people were killed. Hermer claimed the MoD, MI5 and MI6 were complicit in the torture of Hawsawi who was arrested in Pakistan alongside the 9/11 mastermind in 2003. Hermer started taking the terrorist’s money in 2023. A year later al-Hawsawi pleads guilty to murdering 2,900 people and is sentenced to life meaning life. Let’s get this right. One minute Hermer is accusing the MoD torture the next moment he’s on Labour’s payroll. A total shit. And don’t believe all this tosh about lawyer’s having to take the cab off the rank. As a KC he’s so busy he can pick and choose.who he represents. He chose a terrorist. Says all you need to know about Lord Hermer.“

Starmer is talking s**t, as usual. Not only would putting UK “boots on the ground” be likely to go very wrong, and potentially lead to a conflict between the UK and Russia, possibly nuclear, but it seems that the quantity and indeed quality of British troops would be inadequate, taking “quality” to include their equipment, arms, armament, air “lift” power etc.
The best soldiers in the world are all but helpless without the right arms, armament, transport, logistics etc. True, in small scale “special forces” situations that is less so, but the Ukrainian theatre is not like that. Do not think Bosnia, Oman, Northern Ireland; think Second World War or, indeed, First World War.
Large armies, large artillery contingents, slugging it out on a vast scale. Even the present overall front-line is something like 900 miles long.
We see retired Brit senior officers saying that the UK government should be doubling military expenditure “to face Russia”. Why? There is actually no need. Russia is only looking (to some) like an adversary because the UK has been backing the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev. Russia would much prefer to have cordial or at least normal relations with the UK.
Even leaving that aside, to scale-up the British armed forces to anything like what would be required to have more than a token effect in Ukraine would take not months but years. Personnel, training, re-equipping, rearming etc. Maybe 5 years.
Where would Britain’s retired senior officers’ new fantasy armies come from? Young people in the UK mostly wish to have nothing to do with anything military or naval, and who can blame them, looking at the increasingly degenerate and shambolic country they live in…
Meanwhile, Britain’s people become poorer by the year, Britain’s road and rail network is not even maintained, for the most part, properly, drug and alcohol abuse is rife, the population is degenerating culturally and ethnically, hutches for migrant-invaders threaten what is left of the green and pleasant land, and idealism (whether real or misplaced), is hard to find.
“As Starmer and his advisors scurry to Paris this morning collectively shamed by Washington into finally pulling their finger out on defence, here’s two cold hard realities.
1. The idea of deploying a peacekeeping force to Ukraine is indeed noble. But the UK have four deployable brigades for such a task. These would need to be re-rolled into a coherent entity or BCT, plus a corps level HQ which would be expected by allies. This would exhaust the British Army – with many units up to one third non-deployable. The notion of a 10k UK force I’ve seen doing the rounds is simply laughable. At most, a brigade, and this would exhaust the Army past 18 months (3 rotations).
2. The absolute fallacy of Starmer thinking he can send a credible force – whilst *still* insisting in private he won’t go above 2.65% GDP for defence spending – is utterly shameful. The cost of deploying even one brigade will cost billions extra a year – whilst straining the Army to its seams. To commit UK forces but not be prepared to fund it adequately is shameful, and shows no signs from learning from Iraq and Afghanistan.“
[Robert Clark]
Worth noting that. Not that I agree that sending Brit troops to Ukraine is in any way “noble“. We, as Brits, have neither selfish interest nor any moral obligation to do so. “Ukraine” as a state has existed for only 33-34 years, since 1991.
Since then, it has been the most corrupt “state” or quasi-state in Europe. The Kiev regime is not only corrupt but brutal and shambolic. Trade unions are banned, dissidents arrested or even shot or otherwise disposed of. Elections should have been held, at latest, a year ago.
Zelensky and his thieving cabal (with their overseas villas and offshore bank accounts) have stolen literally billions, and rule by decree and brute force. Few Ukrainians volunteer to fight; most, almost all now, are either drafted compulsorily or are pressed into service after having been abducted off the streets.
Moreover, Britain has effectively no historical ties of any substance with the region, and none with Ukraine as a state, because until 1991, Ukraine was merely part of the Soviet Union, and before that part of the Russian Empire.
Starmer and his ludicrous Cabinet of idiots have nothing in the tank. I am not referring only to the armed forces but across the board. They are empty of ideals, ideas, policies, and public support.

“In 1943, amid the devastating final years of World War II, the Berlin Zoo was heavily bombed, leaving much of the zoo in ruins and many of its animals in grave danger. Among the survivors was a Shoe-billed stork, an unusual and majestic bird recognized for its unique, shoe-shaped bill and stately demeanor. With the zoo’s facilities destroyed, the stork found an unlikely refuge in a nurse’s bathroom, a small but safe haven where it was cared for during the chaos of war. The nurse’s bathroom became a sanctuary for the bird, symbolizing the compassion and determination of those who worked to protect the zoo’s animals despite the dire circumstances. The stork’s survival depended on the care it received in this improvised setting, where it was fed and tended to with limited resources. This poignant scene of a wild, exotic bird in a domestic, human space emphasized the extraordinary lengths people went to preserve life during a time when destruction seemed all-encompassing. The survival of the Shoe-billed stork and its temporary shelter in the nurse’s bathroom became a powerful symbol of resilience and hope amidst the horrors of war. While much of the zoo was destroyed and many animals were lost, stories like this highlight the small acts of care and humanity that endured even in the darkest hours. The stork’s journey is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals and serves as a reminder of the fragments of hope that can emerge even in times of overwhelming devastation.“

“The subterranean city of Derinkuyu, located in Cappadocia region of Türkiye, an extraordinary historical site with the capacity to house an estimated 20,000 to 60,000 people, including their livestock and supplies. Its discovery occurred unexpectedly in 1963 when a homeowner accidentally broke through a wall in his basement, unveiling an ancient and intricate underground structure hidden for centuries. Derinkuyu is an impressive multi-level complex, descending over 200 feet below the surface and consisting of at least 18 levels, though only a portion of it has been fully excavated. The city features an array of functional spaces, including living quarters, kitchens, storage areas, wine and oil presses, stables, and even chapels and schools. Ventilation shafts and a sophisticated water system ensured the city’s inhabitants could survive underground for extended periods. Defensive mechanisms, such as heavy stone doors that could be rolled into place, protected the city from invaders. Historians and archaeologists believe Derinkuyu was initially constructed by the Phrygians or Hittites in the early centuries BCE, though it was later expanded and used by various groups, including early Christians, as a refuge from persecution or attacks. Its design reflects the ingenuity and resilience of the civilizations that relied on such cities for survival during times of conflict or environmental challenges. The discovery of Derinkuyu has spurred interest in Cappadocia’s extensive network of underground cities, many of which remain unexplored. These ancient marvels continue to captivate researchers and visitors alike, shedding light on the innovative ways humans adapted to their environment and safeguarded their communities.“

“Recruits to the castle-convents scattered across Teutonic territory primarily hailed from Germanic regions such as Franconia, Thuringia, the Rhine, and other German territories. These knights, often aristocrats but also comprising lower-ranking members, were stationed in commanderies housing anywhere from 10 to 80 individuals. Similar to other military orders, recruits pledged monastic vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Joining offered prospects of spiritual rewards, adventure, career advancement, and even basic amenities like regular meals and shelter. While German settlers were permitted entry, they typically served as priests or half-brethren. Each castle-convent also accommodated local crossbowmen, as well as non-combatants like servants and craftsmen. Although officially international, the order predominantly drew recruits from German lands. Membership numbers varied, influenced by battles and territorial shifts. For instance, Prussia counted 700 members in 1379 AD, 400 in 1450 AD, 160 in 1513 AD, and 55 in 1525 AD. The total knightly roster likely never exceeded around 1,300. The order’s revenue stemmed from wartime spoils, captured territories, trade, land rents, and donations in cash, goods, or land. Some brethren paid an entry fee, while taxes on local populations were imposed in Teutonic territories by the 15th century AD. As recruitment challenges grew, the order increasingly relied on mercenaries, necessitating financial support. Commanderies not only offered training, residences, and retirement options but also extended aid to local communities through hospices, hospitals, schools, and cemeteries. Additionally, the order constructed churches, providing ongoing maintenance and fostering artistic endeavors for embellishment.“
I once knew a German lady from East Prussia, one of whose several historically-distinguished ancestors was a Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights in the Middle Ages.

“The Lion Man – An Ice Age Masterpiece : The Lion Man is a masterpiece. Sculpted with great originality, virtuosity and technical skill from mammoth ivory, this 40,000 year-old image is 31cm tall. It has the head of a cave lion with a partly human body. He stands upright, perhaps on tiptoes, legs apart and arms to the sides of a slender, cat-like body with strong shoulders like the hips and thighs of a lion. His gaze, like his stance, is powerful and directed at the viewer. The details of his face show he is attentive, he is watching and he is listening. He is powerful, mysterious and from a world beyond ordinary nature. He is the oldest known representation of a being that does not exist in physical form but symbolises ideas about the supernatural.
Found in a cave in what is now southern Germany in 1939, the Lion Man makes sense as part of a story that might now be called a myth. The wear on his body caused by handling suggests that he was passed around and rubbed as part of a narrative or ritual that would explain his appearance and meaning. It is impossible to know what that story was about or whether he was deity, an avatar to the spirit world, part of a creation story or a human whose experiences on a journey through the cosmos to communicate with spirits caused this transformation. Obviously, the story involved humans and animals. Lion Man is made from a mammoth tusk, the largest animal in the environment of that time and depicts the fiercest predator, a lion, now extinct, that was about 30 centimetres taller than a modern African lion and had no mane. Distinct from other animals through their use of tools and fire, humans were nonetheless dependent on some animals for food while needing to protect themselves from predators. Perhaps this hybrid helped people to come to terms with their place in nature on a deeper, religious level or in some way to transcend or reshape it.
Archaeological discoveries in other caves in this region include small sculptures as shown in the British Museum’s 2013 exhibition Ice Age art: arrival of the modern mind. They were found in caves with large quantities of stone tools and animal bones that indicate people lived in the shelter of the daylight areas of these sites for repeated periods of time.
Stadel Cave, where the Lion Man was found, is different. It faces north and does not get the sun. It is cold and the density of debris accumulated by human activities is much less than at other sites. This was not a good place to live. Lion Man was found in a dark inner chamber, carefully put away in the darkness with only a few perforated arctic fox teeth and a cache of reindeer antlers nearby. These characteristics suggest that Stadel Cave was only used occasionally as a place where people would come together around a fire to share a particular understanding of the world articulated through beliefs, symbolised in sculpture and acted out in rituals.
Lion Man is the oldest known evidence for religious beliefs and Stadel Cave suggests that believing and belonging have a deep history crucial to human societies and originating long before writing. In 2017, UNESCO acknowledged Stadel Cave and other Swabian localities as World Heritage Sites of importance to all humanity and now Ulm Museum has loaned this important sculpture to the British Museum for the exhibition.”
“The candidate for Chancellor of Germany Alice Weidel has called for the restoration of relations and economic ties with Russia The election program of Alternative for Germany includes points about the need to lift sanctions on Russia to allow free trade. Additionally, according to members of the AfD, it is necessary to repair the Nord Stream pipeline, which supplied Russian gas to Europe. “We want to end the sanctions policy, which primarily harms our country,” Weidel said. She reminded that just two years ago, Germany was buying cheap natural gas from Russia through Nord Stream, but now the country has “the highest energy prices in the world.”
The AfD is not fully social-national but is still clearly the best choice for German voters at present. Deutschland erwache!
Boris Johnson put mass uncontrolled immigration on steroids and should never be allowed anywhere near frontline politics again.
I thought, when he was not nominated (plainly at his own request) for a fake peerage that Johnson, aka “Boris”-idiot, had it in mind to stand for leader again.
Were Johnson to get some sympathetic Con MP to stand down in his favour, Johnson might well win a safe-seat by-election.
Why would any MP do that? In return for a promise of getting a peerage later. That would not require Johnson to be Prime Minister, because the Leader of the Opposition also has peerage-nomination rights.
Johnson would then have to wait (probably) until November 2025 before at least 15% of Con MPs send in letters of no-confidence in “Carpetbagger Kemi” Badenoch. That means 18 MPs, as matters stand. That would happen. Con MPs know that Kemi Badenoch is a total turn-off for most voters, sure to lose the next general election and, thus, a number of seats.
Then, all Johnson would need would be a small number of MPs (in the 2024 leadership election, the number was 10 MPs) to nominate him as a candidate (quite likely possible).
Opinion polls of 2024 Con-voting people show that Johnson is far more popular (despite his evident unfitness to hold office, despite his total incompetence) than Kemi Badenoch.
I may even place a bet on “Boris” to be next Con Party leader. The odds, though, are not too generous, below 5/1. Maybe I shall lose my money elsewhere…
As Matt Goodwin says, though, Johnson was disastrous as PM (and, before that, as Foreign Secretary), and at present the Con Party is hovering around or below 20% in the opinion polls.
“Healthcare”. So Orwellian. If defenders of abortion were really sure of their position they would admit that terminating a pregnancy means the ending of a human life but instead hide behind weasal words.

“Nearly every other day I learn that someone I know in Wiltshire, in Westminster or in my wider Conservatiive network has left the party – and about half the time they join Reform too. Today two have jumped. Give it time, say Tory diehards but even under new leadership the Conservative Party simply isn’t healing or recovering. Its decline is continuing. I am not finding Reform membership easy but don’t regret my move nor leaving a party that is now so divided and adrift. It’s sad to watch.“
“I don’t know one lifetime Tory that still supports them personally, i wont ever vote for them again. They’re bad coalition where no meaningful policy happens, migration we had since Cameron was mostly low skill we are paying 70 yr high tax to subside that migration . Waste is massive, they were funding most of the things they said they didn’t support. to be honest Tim looking at the state of this country I’m wondering did they do anything in 14 years, everything in England is broken, GPS, dentists, NHS, councils, police, judiciary, child services, mental health services, prisons, social care, we have gone backward and it’s frightening to watch.“
Semi-literate, but surely accurate.
It has been forecast in the past and not quite happened, but I truly feel that the once-great Conservative Party is now finally going the same way as the old 19thC/20thC Liberal Party. Terminal decline.
The Con vote in (?) 2029 (and assuming that a nuclear war has not happened by then anyway) may be as low as 15%.
It would also mean Reform UK getting 330 Commons seats, an overall majority, and thus being able to form the next Government of the UK. If that then ended badly, social nationalism could finally arise. God mote it be.
“Lord Walney has called for more action to protect the public from “the menace of extreme protestors”, after his role as the government’s independent adviser on political violence was scrapped.“

Ha ha. Good news.
Translation: “useless sex pest, depressive case, and puppet of the Israel lobby “Lord” Walney (aka John Woodcock) has been sacked.”
The bastard is also an egregious moneygrubber, taking money from lobby groups and oil, gas, and armaments interests. Evil little bastard.
Other Israel-lobby puppets and useless types, including notorious ex-MP “Lord” Ian Austin, and notably cultureless and useless ex-MP and one-time Culture Secretary Ed Vaizey (now “Lord” Vaizey), have been tweeting in support of said bastard. Many others feel differently, though.

I nearly missed Woodcock/Walney’s sacking. That would have been a pity. I now feel quite cheered-up (after the pathos of having watched the film of Doctor Zhivago).

Earlier today, I caught literally the last 30-60 seconds of an interview (I think on Sky News) with, I also think, a junior Labour minister whose name I did not get. What a typically smug, pleased-with-himself bastard! A System political drone with, in the short piece I saw, nothing to say beyond the sort of bland propaganda soundbites all too common over the past 25 years.
No wonder the British people are turning off from System parties and politicians. Reform UK is but the next step on the road, not the ultimate destination. Anger and frustration is growing.
