Talking point
That may or may not be historically-accurate, but look what has happened in the ~76 years since then:
Now, the Gaza Strip enclave looks as if it too may soon revert to Jewish/Israeli occupation and, perhaps, settlement or resettlement by Israeli Jews, once the present Gazan population is killed or driven out.
“In a 1931 interview with a Leipzig newspaper editor, Adolf Hitler made a passionate declaration of the true significance of his National Socialist movement:
“The Frenchman Gobineau and the Englishman Chamberlain were inspired by our concept of a new order-a new order, I tell you, or if you prefer, an ideological glimpse into history in accordance with the basic principle of the blood.
We do not judge by merely artistic or military standards or even by purely scientific ones. We judge by the spiritual energy which a people is capable of putting forth, which will enable it in ten years to recapture what it has lost in a thousand years of warfare.
I intend to set up a thousand year Reich and anyone who supports me in battle is a fellow-fighter for a unique spiritual-I would almost say divine-creation.
At the decisive moment the decisive factor is not the ratio of strength but the spiritual force employed. Betrayal of the nation is possible even when no crime has been committed, in other words when a historical mission has not been fulfilled.”

Another idiot. He has no idea of what he is saying. Meaningless verbiage.
In classic British fashion our elites are now working overtime to turn a crucial debate about the failures of multiculturalism and the threat from radical Islamism into a debate about Islamophobia inside the Tory party. We are not a serious country.https://t.co/24s88IcbwF
I can agree with some, perhaps much, of what is written by Matt Goodwin, but he sees the threat to Western civilization as coming only from radical Islamism. He misses out several other basically “ethnic” threats— the Jew-Zionist influence and control, embedded within “Western” power structures; the non-Muslim black/brown influxes (and consequent emergence of mixed-race populations within Europe); also, the outwardly peaceful Chinese population influx.
In relation to the last-mentioned, I cannot do better than to quote the famous maxim of Sun Tzu: “to win without war, this is the supreme excellence” [Sun Tzu, The Art of War]. Peking (Beijing) is playing a long game, as always.
The multi-headed threat is a major reason why the West is losing.
Matt Goodwin’s material is a classic example: he concentrates on only one of several threats (extreme Islamism, given strength by the Muslim part of the migration-invasion of Europe).
Goodwin scarcely recognises the other ethnic-centred threats to our culture and civilization and, when it comes to the Jewish/Zionist element, vociferously supports it!

“EU Fear of Russia Degenerates into War Weariness – Bloomberg…
The protests of farmers in Europe, which erupted in the third year of the Ukrainian conflict, serve as a clear illustration of the fact that Kyiv’s Western allies are exhausted by military actions and their consequences, writes a Bloomberg columnist.
As the journalist reminds, the French government eventually managed to reassure its farmers by promising to protect them from Ukrainian imports. Chicken producers were especially afraid of eastern competitors, claiming that Ukrainian chicken was imported in huge volumes, it was extremely difficult to track, and the income from its sales enriched large corporations.
French President Emmanuel Macron this month even “pointed his finger” at the Ukrainian “chicken tycoon” Yuriy Kosyuk, owner of the MHP holding – the French leader warned that Paris “is not interested in enriching this man.”
The dissatisfaction of farmers may seem like a side problem to some – especially against the backdrop of difficulties with the bill on the allocation of additional aid to Kiev, which is stuck in the US Congress – but in fact it demonstrates well “how the Europeans, who, against the backdrop of stagnation in the economy and the prospects for the return of Donald Trump, are not very inclined to be heroic, fear of Russia degenerates into war fatigue.”
Of the 11 candidates, 4 could be described as Independent. There is a Green, and also a Monster Raving Loony.
Of the 5 more or less serious candidates, the LibLabCon “uniparty” has candidates, and then there is the egregious George Galloway [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway], this time under the banner of the Workers Party, and also Reform UK, represented by Simon Danczuk [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Danczuk], the one-time Labour MP who was a perennial tabloid newspaper story 2010-2017 (along with his seemingly lobotomized then wife, Karen).
The by-election is complicated by the fact that Azhar Ali, the Labour candidate on the ballot paper, was suspended and disowned by Labour for having speculated that Israel may have been involved in the attack on its own citizens in October 2023, a “conspiracy theory” which at first blush seems mad, but less mad when you look at it. A possible “Pearl Harbor” scenario, in which the Israeli leadership may have allowed the Hamas attack from Gaza to take place in order to be able to destroy and then resettle Gaza with Jews.
Leaving that aside, Ali is still a candidate and still, on paper, “Labour”. Indeed, it is possible that, despite all the publicity, quite a few voters will remain unaware that Labour has disowned him; they may vote for him on that basis.
Having said that, Ali will not be Labour’s candidate at GE 2024, so even if he were to be elected this Thursday, he would only be an MP for a few months. That will obviously harm his chances.
It comes as a slight shock to see that George Galloway is only two years older than me. I thought about 10 years or more. He is now 69.
Galloway is far and away the most interesting candidate on the by-election roster. You only have to look at his Wikipedia entry. Indeed, apart from sleazy Danczuk, Galloway is the only candidate at Rochdale who is noted on Wikipedia.
Galloway started as a Labour MP, and has travelled through other parties and profiles to get here, but his anti-Zionism has remained a constant.
An ideologue of sorts, Galloway is not exactly on the same ideological page as me (and he blocked me on Twitter when I still had an account, i.e. up to 2018). He is interested in money, though he plays that down. His net worth is probably in the millions —though I concede that that is a guess— and his income from all sources in recent years has on occasion exceeded £500,000 a year. His RT (Russia Today) show has been sunk by sanctions, but his online broadcasting etc must still bring in a very good sum.
The Workers Party of Britain [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers_Party_of_Britain] was founded by Galloway himself in 2019, and so far has had no electoral success, though Galloway himself achieved a notable third place at the Batley and Spen by-election in 2021— nearly 22% of the vote.
Other well-known members of the Workers Party include former Arabist diplomat and ambassador Peter Ford [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Ford_(diplomat)], and former Labour MP Chris Williamson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Williamson_(politician)], now a broadcaster on the English-language Iranian channel Press TV. Williamson occasionally retweeted my tweets when I had a Twitter account, though he later and foolishly “blocked” me (like Galloway).
Reform UK must be mad to have allowed Danczuk to be their candidate at Rochdale. He was MP for the constituency from 2010 to 2017, and at peak (2015), under Labour banner, was voted for by 46.1% of the voters who voted, but in 2017 achieved only 1.8% as Independent, once chucked out of Labour. Since then, he has been dumped by Karen Danczuk (or vice-versa), and has married for the third time, to an African from Rwanda.
I should have thought that Reform UK would have selected a candidate of real weight at this interesting by-election, but no…
The constituency is riven by division on racial, ethnic, cultural and religious lines. Also, by the aftermath of the Pakistani “grooming gangs” scandal (sex abuse of white English girls). Further back, there was the scandal of Cyril Smith [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_Smith].
I rule out as serious contenders the Monster Raving Loony, the 4 Independents, the Green (who, though still on the ballot paper, has also been disowned by his party for “antisemitism”, and has withdrawn), and (probably) Danczuk/Reform UK.
That leaves Galloway/ Workers Party, Azhar Ali/”Labour”, the LibDem and the Conservative.
In the past, pre-2015, Rochdale was contended for by Labour and the LibDems and, before that, the old Liberal Party. The LibDems fell into 4th place in 2015, after the “Con Coalition” of 2010–2015.
There have been fairly good showings by UKIP and Brexit Party in the past decade, but nothing earth-shattering. Reform UK might have done better, but surely not with Danczuk as the candidate. That’s my view, anyway.
Conservative Party candidates achieved (poor) second place in both 2017 and 2019, but this time the Con has almost no chance, so unpopular is the Sunak government. Also, Sunak is Indian. The 30% of the Rochdale voters that are Asian are mostly Pakistani. The Con candidate seems to be English.
The LibDem has a Scottish name; otherwise, I know nothing of him and cannot see him getting anywhere.
While 60%-70% of the eligible voters are English, it is a question of how many are motivated to vote. In 2019, only 60% of eligible Rochdale voters voted, and that was a higher percentage than most previous recent elections. The assumption, at least, is that the Muslim vote is more powerful, as a bloc, than the actually larger English vote.
The upshot is that this is between “Labour” Azhar Ali and Galloway. Galloway must be favourite to win now that Labour has disowned Ali. The bookmakers certainly think so: at present, Galloway/Workers Party 4/7 favourite; Labour 13/8; LibDems 40/1; Reform UK 50/1; Conservatives 200/1; Greens 1,000/1; others also 1,000/1.
“Byelections are traditionally a chance for voters to lodge a protest vote. But when the people of Rochdale go to the polls on Thursday, they have barely anyone to protest against.
The Labour and Green parties have ditched their candidates. The Conservative was abroad on a long-planned family holiday the week before polling day. The Lib Dem remains, but pulled out of the most high-profile political event, a local BBC radio debate.
The most energetic campaigning last week came instead from the political fringe: George Galloway, serial byelection winner and founder of the Workers Party of Britain, and Simon Danczuk, the town’s former Labour MP who was suspended by the party for sexting a 17-year-old girl and is now standing for Reform UK.
“We don’t deserve this,” said Margaret King, standing outside Marks & Spencer. “This town does not deserve to be this short of anybody decent to vote for.” This time she’s voting for one of the local independents.
“We’ve been Lib Dem for a long time, back to Cyril Smith, but when I think back I can’t believe I voted for him. There’s too many shadows on this town.“
Back in the town centre, people at the Regal Moon were surprised to learn that the Wetherspoons pub was the official headquarters of the Monster Raving Loony party candidate. Some drinkers there raised immigration as an issue, although none considered Reform UK to be an option. “Danczuk has been here before and he didn’t do anything then,” said David Brierley, after complaining how much the town’s ethnic makeup has changed.”
[The Guardian]
A real social-national party might have won this contest.
“Labour is being warned by a powerful alliance of thinktanks and charities that poverty will soar if it comes to power and then fails to spend many billions of pounds on welfare reform to help those struggling most with the cost of living.
Poverty and extreme financial hardship have become acute problems,” the new report says. “With wages at a standstill over the last decade, recent soaring prices came at a time when many households were already struggling to meet essential costs. While some have seen their earnings increase in the period since the cost of living crisis started, for many the damage had already been done. Use of foodbanks has reached unprecedented levels, and there has been a sharp rise in households taking out loans to cover bills and daily spending.”
It says that “people on low incomes too often cycle between low-paid, insecure roles and stints of unemployment” with the number of “economically inactive” people (those out of work and not actively looking for work) at record levels. “For too long, our welfare state has taken a punitive approach, ignoring individual motivations and challenges and wasting resources on approaches to that simply don’t work.”

A truly jaw-dropping piece on the long list of political failures that led to Birmingham Council going bust. What utter incompetence.https://t.co/3f8MbskJHg
Birmingham is or was a major hub of the sinister “Common Purpose” conspiracy, which is implicated in so many scandals, partly because its “graduates” (members) are often unqualified (except on paper) for their executive positions. For example, the shambolic social work and social worker department in Birmingham itself and, as we now see, the Birmingham local government milieu as a whole.
Birmingham is just one particularly egregious example. There are numerous others. The police throughout the UK provide other examples.
Although it has 80,000 trainees in 36 cities, 18,000 graduate members and enormous power, Common Purpose is largely unknown to the general public.
It recruits and trains “leaders” to be loyal to the directives of Common Purpose and the EU, instead of to their own departments, which they then undermine or subvert, the NHS being an example.
Common Purpose is identifying leaders in all levels of our government to assume power when our nation is replaced by the European Union, in what they call “the post democratic society.” They are learning to rule without regard to democracy, and will bring the EU police state home to every one of us.
Common Purpose is also the glue that enables fraud to be committed across these government departments to reward pro European local politicians. Corrupt deals are enabled that put property or cash into their pockets by embezzling public assets.
It has members in the NHS, BBC, the police, the legal profession, the church, many of Britain’s 7,000 quangos, local councils, the Civil Service, government ministries, Parliament, and it controls many RDA’s (Regional Development Agencies).“
Written, I think, some years ago, but still worth reading.

Accurate, but not entirely. Union Street in Plymouth is not really the city centre, though not far away; more a crumbling depressed bit between the main centre and the docks and ferry port (I once commuted to and from Brittany, Plymouth-Roscoff, about once every 10 days, in the years 2005-2009, so I do know Plymouth a bit; and also used to appear quite often as Counsel at the Plymouth County Court).
Plymouth is rife, in its administration, with both freemasonry and “Common Purpose”. A very badly-run city.
That bald vlogger is the one who used to visit out-of-the-way bits of the former Soviet Union. Not sure why he no longer does that. I think that he was removed from Ukraine but am unsure.
I just saw this:
Apart from Plymouth, “Bald and Bankrupt” goes to Weston-super-Mare, a place which I have also visited a few times quite long ago now (I knew a blonde Ukrainian lady who lived there, she having married an older Englishman who then, really not long afterwards, died of a heart attack, leaving her a quite decent detached house in what passes for the best area of the town). That was circa 2000.
I remember Weston-super-Mare mainly for playing tennis on a warm sunny day with the Ukrainian lady (well, just playing around, really), and deliberately hitting her on the rear with a tennis ball when she bent over to pick up another ball, after which she fired half a dozen at me (I dodged them by running away, weaving).
“Bald and Bankrupt” then goes to Birmingham, a city I do not know, and which I have never even seen, except once or twice from a train, or car circling its endless motorways and other roads, and —once— when on a small plane that stopped at the airport to take on fuel etc.
The state of Birmingham shown in the vlog echoes that discussed in those Matt Goodwin and Sunday Times tweets.
“Come, friendly Russian bombers...” (with apologies to John Betjeman…).
“Bald and Bankrupt” then goes, briefly, to Sunderland, a town I have also never visited (though my late father once played professionally for Sunderland football club, sometime around 1946).
He then goes to a semi-derelict former mining village called Hordern, where he meets a man demolishing a 19thC brick wall, the man having moved to this hopeless desolate place from Guildford (Surrey). Why? Why? Apparently because rental of property is cheaper. Even so…People are very strange…
Overall, dystopian, and not a little frightening.
Of course, much, maybe most, of England, or Britain, is not like those places. Not yet, anyway.

“Women are having fewer children than ever before, official figures revealed today.
Office for National Statistics data shows the fertility rate — the average number of children a woman has — in England and Wales slumped to 1.49 in 2022.
It marks the lowest figure since records began in 1938, laying bare the reality of the ongoing baby bust that threatens to cripple the economy.
Not a single one of the 330-plus authorities in both countries has a fertility rate that is above ‘replacement level’, according to MailOnline analysis.“

When one considers that (overall) the blacks and browns etc are having children, the birthrate among white people (“the people formerly known as British”) is seen more clearly as being at a rock-bottom level.
“An MP has had his conviction for racially aggravated offense quashed after he told an activist to ‘go back to Bahrain.’

Last November, Mr Stewart was convicted for a racially aggravated public order offence and was fined £600. Following the conviction, Mr Stewart lost the Tory whip and has since sat in the House of Commons as an independent.
Now, following an appeal, his conviction has been overturned today at Southwark Crown Court.”
[Daily Mail]
One has to wonder how absolutely stupid are the police and Crown Prosecution Service that this was ever brought to a trial. Mad.
Incidentally, note that the Daily Mail wannabee “journalist” scribbler spells “offence” as “offense“, American-style, in the first line. Newspapers have declined in every way since the 1970s.
As for my own conviction under the very stupid Communications Act 2003, s.127 (trial was on 17 November 2023), I am due to be sentenced in a few weeks’ time. After that, I shall have 3 weeks in which to decide whether to appeal to the Crown Court.

“By sending long-range “Taurus” cruise missiles to Ukraine, they will make Germany part of the Ukrainian conflict, German politician Sara Wagenknecht told the German media.

Sara Wagenknecht only finished her secondary education in 1988, a year before the collapse of the DDR (and, incidentally, the same year in which I myself saw the country, though only briefly), so she could not have been a member of the Aufklärung (the foreign intelligence component of the State Security apparat or “Stasi“). Had she been older, one might wonder.

Lee Anderson, and Ashfield (Derbyshire)
The maverick MP has been suspended from being under the Conservative Party whip.
Naturally, I do not agree with his statement that London is “run by Muslims”. Sadiq Khan is from a Muslim background, but has been pretty much in the Jew-Zionist pocket for many years.
It would be more accurate to characterize Sadiq Khan as “anti-white”.
As to Anderson himself, I suggest that he is trying to bolster his position vis a vis the General Election expected later this year.
David Marquand, a former MP for Ashfield (1966-1977; he is still alive, at 89): “Originally a tentative supporter of Blair’s New Labour, he has since become a trenchant critic, arguing that “New Labour has ‘modernised’ the social-democratic tradition out of all recognition”, even while retaining the over-centralisation and disdain for the radical intelligentsia of the old “Labourite” tradition.” [Wikipedia]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Marquand.
Marquand defected to the SDP and then was honourable enough to step down as MP, not contesting the by-election.
In fact, Marquand was himself rather intellectual:
“Marquand addressed Britain’s relative economic decline in The Unprincipled Society (1988) and The New Reckoning (1997). He argued that this decline was caused by Britain’s failure to become a developmental state like France, Germany and Japan. In those countries state intervention had encouraged industrial development and had facilitated the necessary adjustments to competition. Britain, however, was wedded to an economic liberalism which prevented the state from undertaking the necessary measures to meet the country’s developmental needs.[7] In The New Reckoning Marquand claimed: “The economies that have succeeded more spectacularly have been those fostered by developmental states, where public power, acting in concert with private interest, has induced market forces to flow in the desired direction”.[8]” [Wikipedia].
In fact, Ashfield is not quite as “safe Labour” as the history might suggest superficially. Gloria de Piero won in 2010 by a majority of under half a point (0.4%, 192 votes) from a LibDem.
While de Piero’s majority increased in 2015 (as the LibDems imploded), in 2017 she beat the Conservative candidate by less than one point (0.9%, 441 votes). An Ashfield Independent came third with over 9% of the vote.
In 2019, Lee Anderson won convincingly: 39.3% of the vote, followed in second (27.6%) by another “Ashfield Independent”, Jason Zadrozny [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Zadrozny], who has had a chequered political and personal history. In third place came Labour, with only 24.4%.
Zadrozny is going to contest the seat at GE 2024.
So far, apart from Anderson (who may or may not be standing as Conservative Party candidate, depending on whether he gets back the Conservative whip), only the Ashfield Independent and Reform UK are presently known to be likely to stand at GE 2024, but a full field is almost guaranteed. There may be a dozen or more candidates.
At first, I thought that Anderson could probably be written off as post-GE 2024 MP, but now am not so sure. He has now (whether by design or not) distanced himself from the unpopular Conservative leadership —and possibly from the equally-unpopular Conservative Party— is anti-EU, anti-migration invasion etc, and is now known nationwide. He must have at least a chance of retaining his seat. If he does, and if he also retains it as a “Conservative” MP, he might be one of 100 or even as few as 50 such MPs. Who knows what might then happen?
[Update, 13 October 2024: In the end, what happened at GE 2024 was that Lee Anderson stood as Reform UK candidate, and won handsomely with 42.8% of the vote. He is thus now one of 5 Reform UK MPs. The Labour candidate came a poor second with 29%; third place, with 15.7%, went to that Independent, Zadrozny, who faces yet another Crown Court trial soon, in February 2025: numerous charges of fraud and income tax evasion, as well as possession of cocaine): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashfield_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s].

“A Palestinian young man carries the body of his young brother inside a bag after he was killed by Israeli snipers while trying to flee the Israeli war of starvation on northern Gaza to the south through Al-Rashid Street in Gaza City. Ironically, the coastal road is designated as a ‘safe corridor’ by the Israeli army.”
The present military power and political influence of “World Jewry”, centred on Israel, is a catastrophe for the world. Another negative long-term consequence of the disastrous —and disastrously finishing—Second World War.

Ukraine will prepare a new counter-offensive, (counter-retreat) , in 2024, Zelensky said in an interview with Fox News. . pic.twitter.com/baeKfV6zrN

The Jew Zelensky trying to fool the same people all over again.
Ukraine (Kiev regime) has fewer and fewer soldiers, especially on the frontlines, even fewer experienced soldiers, and a shortage of arms and ammunition. Its economy is in ruins, and up to a third of the entire population has relocated out of the country.
Russia has millions of reserve troops being trained and ready for deployment; has hugely expanded its production of arms and ammunition; the Russian hydrocarbon sector is bringing in hundreds of billions of dollars (or equivalent) in oil and gas sales; the domestic Russian economy is normal; new trade links worldwide are opening up. Russia’s nuclear backstop is being upgraded, and links with Iran etc are bringing up thousands of drones ready for deployment. Russia also has 6,000+ tactical and strategic nuclear weapons and a variety of delivery systems.
“Ukraine” will not launch a new counter-offensive, certainly not a successful one, in 2024. Russia, though, may launch one, and with every chance of success.
The U.S. Presidential election will quite likely bring a new American president to office. If that individual cuts off the supply of money and arms to the Kiev regime, the war will be over in weeks not months.

The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan] is no mere “conspiracy theory” but something which is being played out in real time, and right in front of our own eyes. The conspirators are not (only) little groups of wild-eyed fanatics in basements, and/or with names ending in “un-English” suffixes, but those in Westminster, in the “mainstream” political parties, in the newspapers, on (especially) TV and radio, and in the general world of supposed “celebrity”.
Incidentally, groups such as the malicious Jew-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] get Jewish volunteers to “edit” (vandalize) Wikipedia on certain topics, so be cautious about what you read there.
GE 2024
Saw an opinion piece in the Yorkshire Post about the upcoming 2024 General Election. It seems to me to be mainly right:
“Speaking to friends and colleagues, and listening in to conversations in the pub or on the train, I am becoming increasingly convinced that the public has made up its mind about the current government, and there is little Rishi Sunak and his team can do to change that.
They can keep talking, but voters are not listening anymore. The problem for the Conservatives isn’t a wave of enthusiasm for Sir Keir Starmer and Labour. Far from it. This isn’t the ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ vibe that swept Tony Blair to power in 1997, nor even the Corbyn mini surge that cost Theresa May her majority in 2017.
No, the problem for the Conservatives is not that their supporters are running to Labour, but that, as demonstrated in recent by-elections, Tory voters are simply staying at home on polling day.
Is that any surprise? I doubt that many people who gave Boris Johnson a thumping victory in 2019 thought they were voting for open borders, rampant inflation, an economic recession, and the highest tax burden since World War II. The Tories have only themselves to blame.
Sure, the pandemic followed by the war in Ukraine were unprecedented events that helped blow the government off course, but the Conservatives have lost sight of who they are supposed to be fighting for.
Imagine that over the next few months everything goes right for the Prime Minister – the establishment blob is finally defeated over asylum seekers and flights take off for Rwanda, and the boats are stopped crossing the Channel; the economy comes out of recession and begins to grow, inflation is tamed, and the Chancellor cuts taxes in the spring Budget.
Would it be enough to swing things Rishi’s way? I am starting to doubt it.
Any politician who wants to reconnect with the voters who could propel them to power should accompany me on my early morning commute. Catch any early train or bus into Leeds, Sheffield or Wakefield and take a look around the carriage. I guarantee you will see the nation’s grafters who work hard in often poorly paid jobs, pay their taxes, obey the law, and do their best to raise their families.
Women and ethnic minorities are overrepresented on these journeys, and I sometimes play a game with myself trying to guess their jobs – health staff, cleaners, construction workers, shop staff and call centre operatives.
If a party wants to gain power it should ensure that every single policy in the manifesto passes one simple test – will it make the lives of these people better?
The reason politicians, both left and right, have become so disconnected from their voters is that you don’t often see them shivering in the pouring rain at a bus stop at 5am, or catching the 6.18 crowded train into Leeds.
As the general election gets closer we are starting to get some idea of what a Labour government will look like, and it is not an encouraging sight.
…the radical ideas, like the green growth plan, have to be ditched. Anyone expecting sweeping progressive changes under Labour is likely to be sorely disappointed.
Instead Labour seems increasingly likely to concentrate on toxic culture war issues that mean little to most people beyond the ideologues and fanatics.
Take for example two recent policy pledges. One is to impose VAT on private school fees, and the other is to close so-called loopholes in the fox hunting ban by outlawing drag hunting.
Sure the vindictive class warriors will love this, but I look around the carriage on my early morning train and ask myself, would such policies make the lives of my fellow passengers any better? No, of course not. It would not make the blindest bit of difference.
Come the general election voters will be faced with an uninspiring choice between a Conservative party that has run out of steam, and a Labour party that never had any puff in the first place.
I am convinced that if any party produced a manifesto that passed my early morning train test it would win by a landslide.“
[Bill Carmichael, in the Yorkshire Post].
Not 100% right, but 90%+.
The problem is that only social-nationalism can really satisfy Britain’s requirements, but the “Zionist”/pro-Israel element jumps upon even tiny social-national parties, movements, fora etc, and makes constant complaint to police, regulators etc, in order to prevent any tiny social-national party etc becoming a large one.
Our form of Parliamentary democracy has failed because (((a certain element))) has choked it.
Until the ground is cleared, it will be hard for Britain to start to live again.

Hugely enjoying Liz Truss explaining to an American audience that the Right have been denied power in the UK for far too long. Just wait till they discover what her last job was .. pic.twitter.com/4LuoctOdYD
If anyone —such as the absurd political “ho”, Liz Truss— thinks that bureaucracy in the UK is worse than that of the USA, he or —in this case, she— has evidently never lived in the United States.
Liz Truss is a dangerous woman, though, despite her idiocy. Instead of accepting her political demise and defenestration, she is “doubling the bet” by saying that the Deep State etc got rid of her, and that she was right about the economy and society all along.
Truss’s strategy is obvious. The Conservative Party is going straight down with the electorate. Nothing can save it. The only chance, and a slight one, is that Starmer/Labour makes such a poor impression in the next few months that people will vote Con to stop Labour getting a huge majority. Very unlikely.
On that premise, Sunak, the little Indian money-juggler presently posing as Prime Minister, is toast. Maybe even before, but more likely after, GE 2024. The question then becomes who replaces Sunak. There are no candidates popular with either the public or the Conservative MPs and/or rank-and-file. On that basis, Truss seems to feel that she has as much chance as any of the other present possibilities (Mordaunt, Cleverly, Tugendhat, Suella Braverman etc).
Imagine Cleverly as Prime Minister! Or “chocolate soldier” Tugendhat. Still, Liz Truss was quite as absurd, really, as was “Boris”-idiot, as was Theresa May.
If, as predicted, Conservative MPs reduce in number to 100, or even 50, the pool will be small. Almost anyone in that small pool might have a chance. A chance, that is, of becoming Leader of the Conservative Party, not of becoming Prime Minister.
There it is, in a nutshell. Feral blacks (mostly), and sometimes others, uncontrolled by either society or any personal subjective value-system.

“There is no military solution to the conflict in Ukraine and it must be resolved through negotiations,” said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
A simple mathematical calculation shows that Russia is militarily superior, and that Ukraine will not be, if the West does not intervene. However, NATO does not want war and will not go to war. It is necessary to ask for a ceasefire, because it is impossible to bring Russia to its knees in the military plan” , said the Hungarian Prime Minister.“
In fact, though Orban is correct in assuming that the Kiev regime simply cannot “win”, he is not entirely correct in assuming that there is “no military solution“, because Russia could“win”, at least to the extent of seizing all of Eastern Ukraine, and all of the Black Sea littoral.

I had assumed as much, because the Israelis have only claimed to have cleared a relatively few miles of tunnels, whereas it was said initially that Hamas has 200-300 miles of tunnels, which may or may not be interconnected. Probably some are not connected to the others.
I have to say that I find tunnels fascinating, but am very glad that I am not one of the soldiers (on either side) fighting either to defend them or to clear them.

This is what many of “them” are like. Compare their similar mocking of people (especially those unable to hit back) on Twitter/X. Jews in the UK, for example, mocking the historian David Irving, whose death (as yet unconfirmed) has been reported.

“They” are still whining about their recent ancestors having been moved around Europe by German forces in the early/mid 1940s. Now the Jews are doing something very similar to the Palestinian Arabs.
Classic
John Huston’s famous film was based on a book by the mysterious German (?) anarchist Bruno Traven, who once went by the name “Der Ziegelbrenner” (The Brick-Burner”).
The iconic Lyle's golden syrup packaging is getting a redesign. Here we take a look at the brand's links to Scotland and why the lion on the branding has had a makeover.https://t.co/0co2kUfCqX
Designs and pictures like the lion are part of a nation’s iconography. They are little pieces of a whole. Think the Robertson’s gollywog, gollywogs generally, the Camp coffee essence label scene (British officer being served by his Indian sepoy-batman), and the various famous companies with their legendary “backstories”.
Cadbury’s was one like that: its story (including Bournville village), its public-interest activity, its sheer Britishness. Now all gone, the workers betrayed, and the company sold off to American Jews who have ruined both the company and its image, and even its products. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bournville; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury.
Such things are not as trivial as many are now claiming about the Tate & Lyle Golden Syrup lion.
The famous old companies and their products are part of the gradually-acquired soul of this country. Their trashing and removal, or sudden metamorphosis into something alien, unfamiliar, is a symptom of what is happening to the British nation. It too is being trashed and more or less removed. All that is left is a shell. The same applies to (you name it) the Church, the Bar, Parliament, the armed forces, almost everything.
I happened to watch an edition of Celebrity Chase quiz show (from about 6 years ago). As usual, I did not know even the names of a couple of the “celebrities”, but “Eddie the Eagle” was there and, also, Michelle Dewberry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Dewberry].
I believe that Ms. Dewberry is now employed by GB News TV as presenter of a current affairs show.
Sadly, Ms. Dewberry proved herself entirely ignorant about politics, and pretty much everything else. Even worse than I was expecting.
Full of unwarranted self-confidence, but empty of intellectual content. Totemic of the present-day (think “Boris” Johnson, for one…).
The presenter of The Chase, Bradley Walsh, introduced Ms. Dewberry as “businesswoman and TV presenter“, I think. True up to a point. She did have a business, though I think an unsuccessful one, about 15 years ago. She is best known for having won, in 2006, The Apprentice, the TV competition run by Jewish businessman Alan Sugar.
My problem with all that is that she is one of a number of people with considerable public profile, and who opines about politics, Britain’s future etc, and yet is entirely ignorant in almost (?) all areas.
I suppose that I have to be honest and admit that, in the commonly-heard (on TV at least) phrase, “she scrubs up well“, anyway.
I see now from Wikipedia that Ms. Dewberry is now in a personal relationship with a once-successful and still affluent businessman, who is also, inter alia, a TV/radio presenter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Jordan.
Ms. Dewberry seems to be an example of a widespread problem in the UK these days, namely people posing as business successes, political experts etc when they are nothing of the sort; but it suits the msm to present them as such.
Most such people are boosted by the msm and/or politicians because it suits an agenda, in Michelle Mone’s case as an example of a *woman from *a deprived or poor background, who *via her own efforts *became “successful” and *wealthy. The David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith (etc) ideology personified— and as fake as those cheats.
In fact, Michelle Mone is a fake through and through, and always has been, as seen even in her Wikipedia entry. That, however, has not stopped her from having been —ludicrously, so be it— elevated to the House of Lords; nor has it stopped her from making hundreds of millions of pounds from useless hospital equipment, sold to the NHS via contacts in the Conservative Party, together with her present husband: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Barrowman.
There is something wrong about a country that seems not to care whether someone prominent, and/or in public life proper, is a fake. Look at Iain Duncan Smith. That man has so many layers of fakery that to examine them all in detail would require a book by someone such as Tom Bower [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Bower].
We see now how history is not only misunderstood, but often faked in both its overall purport and in details. I am referring not only to the WW2 “holocaust” farrago, but to, for example, the attempts now made to present a one-sided view of European (including British) colonialism as something entirely bad, with no redeeming features.
When history is faked, how can present-day politics and intellectual life be unaffected?

Incredible, or perhaps not, that the only penalty the House of Commons itself has imposed on Benton is a 35-day suspension. Of course, the real penalty will be if there is a by-election and he loses his seat, though he would have lost it —or will lose it— at GE 2024 anyway.

“A woman was left in shock after police allegedly told her to retrieve her stolen £30,000 Lexus car herself.
Alexandra Vlad, 32, woke up on February 6 to find her Lexus UX missing from her driveway in Newham, East London. Using a tracking app on her phone, she found the last known location of her car in Hackney, about six miles away. She called the police and provided all the information but claims she was then instructed to go and get the car herself.
Alexandra, who works in corporate finance, said: “I was more shaken by the experience of dealing with the police than the car being stolen itself. I told them what happened, and that I could see the last location of the engine. They told me they wouldn’t be there for at least an hour. It was a dodgy part of Hackney. I felt unsafe.“

The police are a prime example of how things generally do not work properly now in Britain, though there are many others— NHS, banks, insurance companies, the whole political and electoral system, repair of the roads, the non-existent border defences etc.

Though the obvious thing is to talk about “co-incidence”, or perhaps the attempts —if any— by those bombing and shelling to avoid collateral damage to religious buildings, it may be that there is a supernatural element to such manifestations.

As to Matt Goodwin, at first I thought him just a minor academic who had woken up to the madness of permitting mass immigration etc and so had, shall we say, “modified” his views.
Later, more recently, I thought that Goodwin was either trying to lay the basis for a new political movement, with himself as the director —and/but for genuine reasons— or perhaps was trying to make money out of it; his Substack blog is monetized and he now has 24,000 paying (?) subscribers.
Now I really wonder whether Goodwin is under some sort of “control”. His views as expressed have undergone a considerable metamorphosis over the past few years. Of course, people do often, and genuinely, change their views, either “just because” or because they see the impossible-to-ignore in front of them.

The Substack subscription seems to be (I am unsure) about a pound or so per week. Modest, arguably, but he now has 24,000 subscribers. If they are all paying that, a very good income indeed for him (maybe £100,000+ per month. Can that be right?). Even if only a quarter or a tenth are paying £5 each month, not at all bad…
Conclusion: undecided. He may be a System puppet, creating more “controlled opposition” (and witness his support for the rather pathetic Reform UK, for Farage etc), or he may be doing what he is doing for genuine reasons, or for fame and/or money. Or a mixture of all (a “Father Gapon” situation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgy_Gapon). I just do not know.

BREAKING : Israel is intensely bombing South Lebanon right now, deliberately targeting civilian areas.
Whisky wow wow! Pretty frightening for the people in the vehicle. I was once, about 25 years ago, driving a car near a military explosion much smaller than the one shown (but much nearer, and with the car in an elevated position vis-a-vis the explosion), and I can recall how the car swayed, and was moved sideways, as the shock wave hit it.
I do not rule out that Russia will attack NATO within the next 5-8 years.

That ship has sailed. The Kiev regime has already been defeated, strategically. Its cobbled-together army of (largely) press-ganged forced labour is thinning out. Before too long, the Kiev regime will run out of soldiers on the front-lines. Then, it will not matter how much money and armament is funnelled to the Jew Zelensky and his cabal.

Russia must and will win in the Ukrainian war situation, at the very least to the extent of maintaining its present position (control of Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea regions, and some other —mainly coastal— areas). Indeed, there is every chance that Russia will be able to take over (or regain, if you like) control of the entirety of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper).
The shambolic, brutal, and corrupt Kiev regime headed by the Jew Zelensky is fast running out of arms, ammunition and, above all, soldiers.

Interesting. So Ukraine (Kiev regime) is still getting money from Russia on a regular basis as transit fees for passage of Russian gas to the EU?! Very convoluted.

The Kiev regime has only two chances: one, to join NATO, and then be able to call upon NATO forces under the Treaty obligations. That is why NATO states will not allow Ukraine to join, because it would lead to a world war before very long.
The second Kiev regime opportunity to avoid defeat would be a revolution or palace revolution in Moscow, and the end of the Putin administration. That is not going to happen.
The Kiev regime should cede to Russia all of Eastern Ukraine, and should then agree to make Kiev and Odessa “open cities” or, failing that, condominia. The present members of the Kiev regime can then fall back on Lvov (or disappear to Israel or the USA).

Not sure that I agree with that, though fraud (especially one person using another’s postal vote) is obviously a problem, particularly in areas with high non-white and especially Muslim populations.
Sophie Corcoran is a pro-Conservative Party, maybe pro-Reform UK —I don’t know enough about her exact views— talking head. She does not seem to have considered that both Reform UK and (maybe even more) the Conservative Party are those mostly voted for via postal voting, which affects the mostly middle-aged and elderly people most likely to have disabilities and chronic medical conditions.
Ms. Corcoran’s proposed postal vote ban would therefore probably be the final straw breaking the back of the Conservative Party.
Rochdale is a rather different situation. I shall blog about the upcoming by-election (29 February 2024) before the day.
When I lived in Almaty, Kazakhstan for a year (1996-1997) I had, in the course of my work, some limited contact with an Israeli businessman in his sixties or seventies who headed a large energy company with interests in Kazakhstan. The company was based in or near Tel Aviv, maybe at Herzliya.
The Israeli was (I was told by others) a former general in the Israeli Army. I accompanied him to a meeting with the UK Ambassador, at the British Embassy (which I visited fairly often). The Embassy was then in Furmanov Street, Almaty (the capital of Kazakhstan was then still at Almaty).
That Israeli (who from his accent originated in the UK, maybe in London) told me that (unlike the British Ambassador, whom he found insufficiently interested in his problems) every Israeli ambassador is given, by his superiors in Israel, a list of duties including how many contacts, including business contacts, to make in a year, how many business opportunities for Israelis to make or facilitate etc.
“They” are relentless.
Incidentally, I have no idea why he did not use the Israeli Ambassador for what he wanted. Maybe he did that as well. Probably.
Oddly, he did not have (at least with him) a UK passport as well as his Israeli one (I know that); so, despite the semi-“British” accent (and knowledge of London) he was probably not a dual-passport-holder. Not a hugely pleasant person, and (as I believe is common in Israel) rather abrasive in manner.
Well, that Israeli general and international business leech must have gone up the chimney many years ago now. This was in late 1996, over 27 years ago; so, in itself, it is just another of life’s memories.

When I lived in New Jersey in the early 1990s, my first wife (an American) and I drove a couple of times to a small shop outside the centre of Newark, which shop had been left, as if washed up on the shore, after the race riots of the late 1960s, mainly 1967, which had trashed the (then) better parts of the city. That shop sold maybe 50, maybe 100 types of ground coffee. Guatemalan, Zimbabwean, you name it.
At one time, pre-1967, Newark had been fairly decent, but after 1967, 100,000 white people left the city, leaving it a drug-ridden, crime-ridden remnant. Having said that, I sometimes walked in the main streets there, or caught the PATH Line to Manhattan, and I never had any trouble. Maybe I looked too poor or too angry to mug.
[intersection of Broad and Market streets, Newark, NJ, 2005]
My first wife’s office was by the Federal building in central Newark, though we lived at least half an hour’s drive south, in Middlesex County, and close to the Monmouth County line.
Actually, even the “Federal” enclave in Newark was not completely safe. Two FBI agents were held up and robbed at gunpoint in the same supposedly guarded car park that my wife and her small group of colleagues used. Strange; I believe that the FBI are supposed to be armed at all times when in public. Maybe they were caught napping. After the mugging, the local police had a patrol car parked by that car park every late afternoon and evening.
Cities can of course fall into desolation via social factors alone, without war. Drugs, poverty, cultural decadence, breakdown of social trust, breakdown of social order generally. It worries me what I see in the UK whenever I have to go to heavily-urban areas (thankfully now not often). What will Britain be like by, say, 2030, or 2040? God knows.

Exactly so. Labour actually offers nothing (except, possibly, arguably, tighter administration) that is not offered or done by the present “Conservative” misgovernment. Having said that, the voters plainly wish to punish the Government for being so weak and, indeed, hopeless.
It was surprising to see that just over a third of the Kingswood voters who voted, still voted Con, albeit that the turnout was well under 40% (so only about 10% or so of all eligible voters voted Con), but that may indicate that in a general election, the Con vote in that constituency (were it not being abolished) would be nearer to 20% or 25%, on a putative turnout of about 70%. However, that would still be not enough to win (were the seat to still exist at GE 2024).
According to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] cabal (on its website), “lord” Ian Austin, the notorious Israel-lobby and Jewish-lobby puppet who was once an MP, and who is one of the “Patrons” of the “CAA”, actually wrote to the Director of Public Prosecutions in 2022 demanding that I be prosecuted for expressing my views on this blog.
Regular readers of the blog will know that I was tried last November, found guilty on all 5 counts, and will be sentenced next month. Freedom of expression is almost dead, and a large part of the reason for that is the existence of the Jew-Zionist lobby.
Austin is very odd. He once tweeted that pornography involving bestiality should be decriminalized, a view echoed by the Jewish girl at the centre of the campaign against Dr. David Miller of Bristol University. Those tweets were later deleted. At the same time, Austin thinks that “holocaust” “denial” should be criminalized!
Austin’s quite long Wikipedia entry says nothing at all about his personal life.
You can bet that Austin makes sure to “sign on” at the House of Lords every sitting day, in order to get his c.£350 a day taxfree cash “allowance” and other freebies.
I wonder how many other lucrative part-time jobs (in the argot of today, “side-hustles”) Austin has. That housing chairmanship was almost certainly only one of several.
Austin almost personifies the corrupt pro-Israel political system of the UK today, as well as Starmer-Labour.

When I was a GP 10 years ago, these were the wait times for a medical specialty referral:
Lack of funding is part of that, but I doubt that the tweeter (obviously Indian) would agree that another large part of the problem is the half-million to a million immigrants of various kinds every single year.
Yes, a tiny percentage of the migration influx consists of doctors and nurses, but the other 99.9% are those who will not work in the NHS but will use its services.
Then factor in the disastrous “lockdowns” and/or restricted service throughout 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Then factor in the other recent developments: the strikes in the NHS, and the explosion of part-time working by GPs and the better-paid clinical staff generally, and also the phenomenon of medical students getting trained here in the UK, mainly at UK taxpayers’ expense (despite student loans), then emigrating to countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc for more money and a better lifestyle. They should have to work in the NHS for 5-10 years after qualification and training.

“Highlighting the fact mass immigration is directly fuelling our housing crisis clashes with the elite’s “luxury beliefs”. Routinely, they demand more and more immigrants, looser and looser borders, to project their liberal beliefs to other elites all the while knowing they and their families will never be the ones to have to compete with immigrants and newcomers for a roof above their heads.”
“As Andrew Neil said in response: “And the Tories wonder why young folks won’t vote for them”. Indeed. At the looming general election just 8% of Zoomers from Generation-Z plan to vote Conservative.
This is why, last weekend, housing secretary Michael Gove went further, touring media in Westminster to warn if young British people and families remain unable to get on the housing ladder ‘they will abandon democracy’.“
Our day in the sun may be nearer than we ourselves, as social nationalists, realize.
Look at recent by-elections. Only a third of voters are even bothering to vote. They despise the System parties and refuse to validate those “elected”, who have no real legitimacy.
By that date (2036), UK society will have either collapsed into civil war or chaos, or be very close to that point.
Only social nationalism can save Britain; and, frankly, even that will be a struggle. Things are very bad and, equally important, getting worse, and rapidly.

Scholz considers the position of NATO Secretary General too important to give it to a Christian Democrat from Germany (opposition to Scholz’s party).
Scholz considers Ursula von der Leyen’s attitude towards Russia too critical.“
Die Welt is a heavyweight German conservative newspaper. Its business-oriented attitudes make it interesting that, recently, its coverage has mellowed towards Russia. The sanctions on Russia, and the general hostility to Russia from such as Ursula von der Leyen harm, not Russia, but Germany itself (and the rest of the EU).
Ursula von der Leyen always strikes me as —in the American phrase— “nutty”— excessively driven, and even mentally-ill. Another similar specimen is Christine Lagarde. NWO insiders.
It looks like Scholz and other major political players in Germany are waking up to the fact of the inevitable Russian victory in Ukraine, certainly in Eastern Ukraine. Realpolitik.

However, by the same token it may well be that the Argentine government does not today have the ability to launch such an invasion in the first place; I am unsure.

In the unlikely event that Russia starts to be pushed back significantly on the battlefield because of such weapons given to the Kiev regime, the escalation might result in Russia using ever-heavier missiles and bombs, even tactical nuclear weapons. Kiev could be completely flattened
There must be a peace process that leaves Russia with, at minimum, Crimea, the Donetsk region, and the Lugansk region, and at least much of the Azov Sea and Black Sea littoral.
That relates to the Russian victory in the devastated city of Avdeevka (“Avdiivka” in Ukrainian). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avdiivka. Victory was declared by the Russian side only today. The Kiev-regime forces not killed or captured have withdrawn in disarray.

Interesting, if true. A few thoughts come to my mind. Firstly, what conceivable British interest was being served here? None, in my view. As to the alleged MI6/SIS officer, he seems to be a good listener (which must be part of his job) and is evidently trying to be non-committal yet friendly (also part of his job, I presume). Other than that, hard to say much about him. Maybe privately-educated but trying to flatten the accent (like the present Prince of Wales and his brother)? Maybe, maybe not. A suitably “grey” person…
Navalny and his group were playing for high stakes. They lost.
There's no restrictions. No objection by police to placing flowers. Nothing. They are entirely polite and helpful.

I remember that song. 1967; I was a 10-y-o child living in Mosman, a North Shore suburb of Sydney. Different times (look at the comments appended to that YouTube video).
“Major French magazine L’Express has revealed that its prominent former editor, Philippe Grumbach, was a KGB spy for 35 years.
He counted presidents, actors and literary giants as close friends. He was a legendary figure in journalism who shaped the editorial direction of one of France’s most successful publications. When he died in 2003, Minister of Culture Jean-Jacques Aillagon said Grumbach had been “one of the most memorable and respected figures in French media”.
But he was also “Brok”, the KGB spy.
Extensive proof of Grumbach’s duplicitous life can be found in the so-called Mitrokhin archive.
Born in Paris in 1924 into a Jewish family, Grumbach fled France with his mother and siblings in 1940 – the year Nazi Germany invaded and Marshal Philippe Pétain took power in Vichy with a collaborationist regime.“

The Wellingborough and Kingswood by-elections
At Wellingborough, a convincing win for Labour. I thought that it might go closer than it did. Labour 45.9%, Conservatives 24.6%, Reform UK 13%. All 8 other candidates lost their deposits; the LibDems came closest with 4.7%. A local Independent, Marion Turner-Hawes, scored 3.7% and probably would have beaten the LibDems had she been the only Independent standing. The Greens, as usual, were nowhere (6th) on 3.4%, and Britain First was even more “nowhere” on 1.6%.
The Conservatives were let down partly by the choice of candidate, the girlfriend of unpleasant former MP, Peter Bone. Having said that, the main reason for the electoral upset was that people want a change, even if it is really not much of a change, or the wrong change. They wanted, also, to stamp on the Conservative Party.
The Conservative candidate tried to make “stopping the boats“, i.e. the continuing cross-Channel migration-invasion, the issue. Of course, the fact is that the cross-Channel invasion is only a tenth, if that, of the main invasion— the enormous influx of “students”, “family-members”, “highly-skilled workers” (Indians that can work a computer) as well as supposed “asylum-seekers” etc.
Also, the “Conservative” governments of 2010-2024 have not even seriously tried to “stop the boats”, let alone the main migration-invasion. Not far short of a million a year now.
A better candidate, and one not tied up with Peter Bone, might have scored higher, maybe well over 30%, and so lost less embarrassingly.
A real social-national party, if one existed, might have won. Turnout was only 38%; a huge 62% of those eligible to vote did not bother, or showed their contempt for the whole system via abstention.
No need to “analyze” the Britain First vote— pathetic. As for Reform UK, it is going to have to do a lot better than that if it is going to start winning seats. Another pro-Israel scam-party by Nigel Farage.
Overall, the result is another nail in the coffin of the Rishi Sunak government, and the Conservative Party (and Sunak himself, of course).
I should be ready to bet that, if voters aged 65+ (many of whom would have voted early by post) were taken away, the remaining Con Party vote would have been no more than 10%.
Kingswood, north of Bristol and in effect an outer suburb of Bristol, also returned a Labour MP yesterday. Pointlessly, of course, because not only will there be a general election this year but, also, the constituency is being abolished.
The result was Labour 44.9%, Conservatives 34.9%, Reform UK 10.4%, Green 5.8%, LibDems 3.5%, UKIP 0.5%.
Turnout was 37.1%, even lower than at Wellingborough. Almost two-thirds of those eligible could not be bothered to vote, and/or despise the whole circus.
The Labour candidate had the advantage of being of local origin, more or less, combined with not being a Conservative. His unusual personal life (gay, and having converted from Roman Catholicism to Judaism to fit in with his Jewish “civil partner”) seems to have been disregarded by the voters (meaning the 11,176 who voted for him, out of about 80,000; the other ~68,000 were eligible to vote but either did not vote or voted for other candidates).
The Conservative Party candidate came closer than I had expected. His own local origins can probably be thanked for that. The Farage vehicle, Reform UK, came third, but again seems to be —time after time— the “also ran” party…
The Greens saved their deposit and beat the LibDems into 5th place. The rump of UKIP came last, and one has to wonder why candidates for no-hope parties like that even bother.
Yet another nail in Sunak’s political coffin, of course.
Taking away the local aspects of both by-elections, for me the “takeaways” are that this “Conservative” government is toast, that Sunak is toast, and that the Conservative Party is toast. Also, that the LibDems are seen as dull and, except where they have a good tactical chance against a Conservative candidate, unappealing to voters.
More? Well, that Reform UK is not exciting enough people, not yet anyway, to start being a major player. Also, that the Greens only appeal to around 5% of the electorate, if that.
Finally, for me the point is that, in both of these by-elections, only just over a third of people even bothered to vote; without postal voting, that 37%/38% would probably have been nearer to 20%. The voters most interesting to me are those not presently energized to vote.
What do these results say about GE 2024? That Labour must be en route to victory, though a victory not welcomed by all, or even a majority, of the voters. A feeling of dull meaninglessness, perhaps. A hollow victory?
For the Conservative Party, these results must mean that the bulk of their MPs are on the way out. 50 may survive, maybe 100.

"When you ignore the wishes of your core voters, when you treat them with contempt, when you promise them one thing only to do something else entirely, they will soon find another home. And that’s what they’re doing by switching to Reform"https://t.co/58R0TO4UNh
I agree with the first bit, but only partly with the second. Many 2019 Con Party voters seem to be switching, in despair, to Reform UK, but that would be only a small minority of the overall electorate. Look at the turnout figures from yesterday. Only a third (just over) of eligible voters even voted. Reform UK, with its limited “conservative nationalism” “cosplay”, its pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby attitude, and its semi-“libertarian” economics, will never inspire even a half of the voters. Maybe 10%, maybe 20%. I doubt that it will go higher.
The fact is that, even at Kingswood, where the result scarcely mattered in itself (a general election this year, and the seat then ceasing to exist), Reform UK only gathered in 13% of the votes, i.e. about 5% of all possible votes. The Wellingborough result was similar: 9.4% of votes cast, i.e. about 3% of all possible votes.
Only a fully-credible social-national party might be able to energise and inspire the British people. That party does not exist.
NEW POST. Sunak's Sinking — By-elections, recession, and a party in decline https://t.co/UkQl6UYyjf
“Today, the Tories are only holding half the people who voted for them at the last general election, in 2019, and only a little more than one in three of the people who voted for Brexit, in 2016. These are supposed to be the party’s core supporters. But many of them are now abandoning Sunak in droves, running for the hills.
And do you blame them? Seriously? Given some of the other events this week it’s not hard to see why. For a start, Sunak’s failure to control Britain’s borders was reflected in the remarkable finding that just 1.3% of the illegal migrants who entered Britain on the small boats since 2018 have been removed from the country.
And then came the latest data on the dire state of the economy, which confirms Britain is in recession and suffering the longest hit to living standards since records began, in 1955. Contrary to Sunak’s pledge to deliver economic growth, this week we learned that throughout his first year in office Britain’s economy grew by just 0.1%, while GDP per capita —which adjusts for population growth — fell by 0.7%.
This, too, will prompt many voters to ask Sunak some tough questions. Where is the growth you promised? Where is the strong economy? And where is the growth the Treasury, the Office for Budget Responsibility, and countless other experts told us would surely arrive if Britain opened its doors to unprecedented immigration?
The answer is it’s nowhere to be seen, partly because rather than deliver the high-skill, high-wage, highly-selective, and highly productive immigration the Tories have been promising since Brexit they’ve instead delivered low-skill, low-wage, non-selective, and unproductive immigration from outside Europe, which has been shown to be a net fiscal cost rather than a net benefit to Western economies.
...more and more [voters] are turning off and tuning out. Just look at the rates of turnout at the latest by-elections. Labour and Keir Starmer are not setting Britain on fire, far from it; the Tories are staying home.
These voters aren’t idiots. They know they’ve been led down the garden path by a Conservative government and a Conservative prime minister which have routinely overpromised and underdelivered.
These voters want decent economic growth and an economic model which prioritises British people. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories have given them more of the same.
These voters want much lower and manageable rates of immigration. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories keep putting mass migration on steroids. And these voters want strong and secure borders and a government which prioritises the security of the British people. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories have lost control of our borders, largely because they refuse to reform laws and leave conventions which make it impossible to remove illegal migrants and foreign nationals who commit crime, as we saw with the shocking case of Abdul Ezedi.“
[Matt Goodwin, on his Substack blog]
In any case, the UK needs no immigration at all. It needs to educate and train real British people to a far higher level, and then provide suitable employment for them. British people, real British people.
Suitable employment, appropriate and decent pay; decent housing; decent transport; decent medical care; decent social care; also, decent architecture and town planning.
Labour has two more MPs after by-elections this week – but this is by default, because Tory voters didn't bother to turn out. Labour also is less popular.

BREAKING: Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has died, the prison service of the Yamalo-Nenets region where he had been serving his sentence said https://t.co/L0YtgkcjKMpic.twitter.com/x7xFV3UERB
The Federal Penitentiary Service of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District said that Navalny 'felt unwell' after a walk at the IK-3 penal colony in Kharp, about 1,200 miles north east of Moscow. Navalny, the prison service said, had lost consciousness almost immediately pic.twitter.com/xtHflzjNC7
Defying the Kremlin can be dangerous. The story that Navalny “felt unwell after he went for a walk” is obviously unlikely.
The daytime temperature in that region today is about -20C. Cold weather for a stroll, even for a Russian.
As to Navalny himself, I knew nothing of him beyond what was occasionally on TV news or in the newspapers. I was unable to understand why he returned to Russia after he had recovered from having been poisoned in Russia and flown to Germany for treatment.
My conclusion (beyond the apparent fact that Navalny was a braver man than me— and a more foolish one, arguably) is that he had a huge amount of egotism. He probably wildly over-estimated his popularity in Russia (in fact only about 5% supported him), and may have thought that arriving in Moscow on a private jet with a horde of Western reporters on board would probably protect him, especially as thousands of his supporters (mostly Moscow-based) would be awaiting his arrival at Vnukovo (one of the four main airports in the Moscow region: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vnukovo_International_Airport).
I may be wrong, but I think that Navalny may have thought that his return to Russia would be akin to that of Lenin in 1917. However, Lenin was never in any danger of arrest and detention in 1917, and had not only supporters but an armed guard force at his historic speech at the Finlandsky Station in Petrograd. Also, the Tsarist Government had already effectively fallen. There was no-one to arrest him.
Navalny has, by reason of his imprisonment and probable murder, achieved the status of martyr, but had he ever become leader of Russia, might have been as harsh, and probably less effective, than Putin.
I am old enough to remember how the usually-wrong Western msm thought, in the 1980s, that Andropov would be “liberal” (mainly because he was said to like jazz). The same or similar was said in the late 1970s of the African tyrant Robert Mugabe (“well-educated” by Jesuits, and a “democrat” by African standards. So they said…). Indeed, look at how the globalist msm lauded thick-as-two-short-planks Nelson Mandela…
Well, there it is.
One interesting aspect to the news coverage in the UK today is that it has been so extensive. In a way, surprising, when Navalny had no real support base in Russia, and never had a real chance of deposing Putin.
Were I more of a conspiracy theorist than people think I am, I should suspect that the UK TV people are using the Navalny matter to talk less about yesterday’s by-election results.
Also, the Kiev-regime forces are crumbling on the Ukrainian front-line.
Many, even perhaps I myself, might think that a retaliatory strike by Israel on Gaza, immediately after the October 2023 incursion, meaning in the following few days, would probably fall into the “self-defence” and “proportionate” area (leaving aside the behaviour of the Israeli Jews since 1948), but what has happened since then is a cruel slaughter and devastation worse than the much-criticized Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto by German forces in 1943. The Germans did evacuate most of the non-combatant Jews before killing or capturing the rest (saboteurs, terrorists, and rebels) and then levelling the area.
Which of the following do you think would make the best prime minister?
According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that would still leave the Con Party with 117 MPs. Maybe. One or two points can make a big difference. For example, if the Con/Lab numbers were 23% and 45% respectively, the Cons would have only 97 MPs.
Also, these polls always over-estimate the Green vote. When and where (except at Brighton Pavilion) did the Greens get anywhere close to 8%? 5% is more usual; or lower.
Gee, I thought of Julian Assange who was put in the worst prison in the UK on April 11, 2019 for the crime of reporting true information about our government crimes. But we don't do what the Russians do, right?
After Guantanamo, Bagram, Kabul, Abu Ghraib etc, the U.S. Government can say nothing about human rights abuses.

Labour, “the party for working people”??
Yes & the far right ( today's tory party) broke it I'm not a great lover of Starmer's Labour but it has to be better that the last 14 years of corruption
Why exactly does it have to be better? History tells us that it will be considerably worse. And I (& I suspect you too) remember when the Labour Party actually contained some really clever & gifted politicians. Smith, Foot etc. Now it’s a refuse dump for morons.

For me, the main thing is to break the rigged “two main parties” system (scam). So if the Conservative Party is trampled upon and left almost powerless at GE 2024, good, even though that would be at the cost of a Labour Party “elected dictatorship” for up to 5 years. With one large party reduced to almost nothing, the System’s rhythm will be disrupted. No more the idea that “the other lot” will be better. With the Cons deflated, and the LibDems already on the floor, other ideas, social-national ideas, will come through, one way or the other.
NEW. The % of Brits who think "immigration has been too high" hits a new record of 64%, while the % of Brits who think "immigration has been mostly good for Britain" slumps to a new low of 21% (YouGov).
