“The graphic represents how much territory Ukraine has reclaimed so far in the counteroffensive. This is what the West’s mountain of metal accomplished for the AFU.

And 30-45K soldiers. All farmland and small settlements.”

Savitri Devi said that a house cat was more a part of nature than a mixed person. If you look at the genetic distance between races and the the gap between them and mixed people you'll see mixed people aren't even their parents. They are a separate species.
That is very true. I have known several mixed-race persons in my life; most if not all were not only very different from their parents (where I also knew them) in both looks and temperament, but had considerable psychological problems.

Looks as though Putin is reasserting control after what I called at the time a modern-day “revolt of the Streltsy” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streltsy_uprising] a few months ago. Not exactly a coup or putsch, but something more akin to a demand for privileges and participation in policy-making.
All the same, Putin may regret the apparent passing into history of the Wagner Group. It fought well, despite having been composed, in part, of persons with little conventional military experience.
The brunt of the fighting in Ukraine (and possibly beyond) will now fall upon armoured units, artillery, and air power, not mass infantry formations such as Wagner Group.
Russia cannot “lose” the Ukraine war, unless there is upheaval and/or revolt in Russia itself. Putin seems to have taken the view that Wagner Group had to be dispersed in power and its leaders removed.
Of course, it may be that the air incident was simply an accident, or an assassination by others, eg Kiev-regime services, but those possibilities seem less likely.

Apart from anything else, it should be illegal to claim to be a “lawyer” of any kind (or no specific kind) if unqualified. I myself really was a lawyer (barrister of the Bar of England and Wales) until improperly and indeed unlawfully disbarred in 2016, and I still am (as far as I know) “Attorney and Counsellor at Law” at the Bar of the State of New York, not that I care either way. I have not been disbarred in New York, anyway, nor “threatened” with the same.
Despite the foregoing, I have no interest in describing myself (as I still could) as “lawyer“. I do think that the public should be protected from fake lawyers or persons claiming to be lawyers.

Slava! All the same, that central westward thrust from Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk) to Vinnitsa looks to me unnecessary and possibly counterproductive.
Russia needs to secure all territory east of the Dnieper, and also the coastal littoral of the Black Sea (including Odessa) but, above all, Kiev itself. Confine the Zelensky regime to a rump inland “state” based on Lvov.
The map shows, supposedly, something akin to the original scheme, but it probably is still the overall strategy.
The Bürgerbräukeller, Munich, in or about 1923, shown above presumably before rather than after the “Beer Hall Putsch” (8-9 November 1923 :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch).
The photo shows a meeting of the NSDAP. All those shown in the photo were members or supporters of the NSDAP.
What interests me is that, at that time, the NSDAP was a relatively minor party even in its hub, Bavaria (in early 1923, the national membership was about 6,000, and by the Autumn of 1923 about 20,000).
In May 1924, i.e. after the failure of the “Beer Hall Putsch” (aka “Munich Putsch” or “Hitler-Ludendorff Putsch), the NSDAP (banned, so using the name “National Socialist Freedom Movement”) scored only 6.5% in the federal (national) elections, and only 3% in December 1924.
In 1923-1924, the NSDAP had the sort of minor public support that, in the UK of the 21st Century, UKIP was enjoying about a decade ago, and that the BNP had about 15 years ago.
All the same, look at that photograph of the NSDAP meeting in 1923. Many hundreds of people, at the least. All looking decently-dressed.
One cannot but help compare that to the tiny so-called “far-right” (national and social-national) parties of today’s Britain.
The main difference politically between Germany in 1923 and Britain in 2023 is, that in 1923 Germany, there were large numbers of Germans of all social and income groups who supported the idea of national renewal. The NSDAP may only have had a few thousand or tens of thousands of members, but other volkisch parties and groups, such as, and primarily, the Stahlhelm, had the same or more, in some cases hundreds of thousands: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Stahlhelm,_Bund_der_Frontsoldaten.
Look now at Britain in 2023. The degenerate strata of higher-income and high-social-status groups do not, generally, support national renewal, but are (metaphorically) signed up to the trends which are destroying our society (and now destroying it quite rapidly).
What that means is that, should social-nationalism, by a political miracle (which I do not rule out) take power in this country, it will have to start its mission by removing surgically, and by drastic surgery, large sections of degenerate society, at all income and social-status levels.

So the “Conservative” Party has now alienated the” “young” generally (maybe 90% of those under 30), the working families, the unemployed, most voters under 60, both those who support “refugees” incoming and also those who do not want more migrant-invaders, those renting properties because unable to buy, those wanting clean rivers and other environmental improvements, and now those who are sick and/or disabled and who are not already anti-Con.
Many, perhaps most, of those getting disability benefits are over 60, i.e. the only demographic until recently still supporting the Conservative Party.
The trend of things electoral seems to be that the hard core of Conservative Party support for the expected 2024 General Election will be persons over 60 who 1. have no opinion either way about the migration invasion, who 2. are homeowners without any mortgage obligation, who 3. are not short of money, 4. who do not receive any State benefits at all (beyond the State Pension itself), and 5. who do not object to a government (at Cabinet level) largely composed of non-whites.
There is at least a possibility that Sunak will suspend the Triple Lock on State pensions, as he did when Chancellor. As I predicted on the blog at the time, that first decision cut away the bedrock of pensioner electoral support for (and trust in) the Conservative Party; the fall in Con Party fortunes dates from that time a couple of years ago.
I begin to think that Sunak will be lucky to keep even 20% of the popular vote, though I still see Labour as not offering anything much to the British people (and, after all, Starmer’s policies are not, in reality, going to be much different to those of Sunak).
I should think that, despite the fact that the Sunak government is doomed, the next election in terms of seats will be decided by many voters making their decision in the final days of the campaign.

It is a notorious fact that armies and states often prepare to fight the last war, the war already fought. In 1939, Poland collapsed within 5 weeks after powerful German forces invaded from the west, indeed from west, north, and south simultaneously on and after 1 September 1939.
The Polish forces were hopelessly outmanouvered and outgunnned. They withdrew to the southeast, only to be outplayed when Soviet forces invaded from the easterly direction on 17 September 1939. Faced with attacks from all sides, the Poles had no choice but to surrender de facto by 6 October 1939, though there never was a formal surrender.
Notoriously, the Poles, in one famous engagement, made a hopeless cavalry charge against the latest German tanks. The Germans were fighting (as it turned out) the Second World War, whereas the Poles were using the tactics not even of the First World War but of the 19th Century.
Scrolling on to 2023, we see the Polish Army more powerful than it has been for centuries, but its strength lies in armour, and in numbers. Second World War strengths. The Russians may or may not be able to equal that, not without general mobilization, but Russia also has well over 6,000 nuclear weapons of various kinds, mostly missiles. Nuclear missiles (etc) against tanks?
The old Soviet Union also had “suitcase bombs”, capable of destroying city centres to a diameter of perhaps two miles. Does Russia have a similar programme now? I do not know, but would not bet against it.
What is disturbing at present is that, even more than in 1939, the war drums are beating far louder than the plaintive cries for peace.
Not just in Poland and Ukraine, but across the world, especially in the USA and UK, and in the EU.

One sees how, after the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, when dissenting thinkers such as Galileo were accused of heresy, free thinking was thought of as part and parcel of Western civilization— until now.
The attack on free thought, in the contemporary West, started with the Jew-Zionists, and their plan to make examination of modern history, particularly the “holocaust” farrago and mythus and, within that, especially, the whole “gas chambers” fable, something to be treated as if criminal. That repression is now in place in about 20 European states.
Now we see the knock-on consequences: people dissenting from “mainstream” (propaganda) opinion about aspects of “climate change”, or the “Covid” “panicdemic” should be (some say) treated as criminal. The same goes for those who do not agree with mass immigration and the consequent destruction of European life and culture.
Why do I think this? Because I believe we should on a war footing against climate breakdown.
At first, I thought that tweeter Professor Cowern might be a parody account, but no! See https://uk.linkedin.com/in/nickcowern. Someone who apparently worked mainly in “modelling”, employed at Harwell and by Philips electronics, his main field(s) being in materials science and semiconductors (i.e. nothing to do with climate), but who now focusses upon and, it seems, obsesses about climate change by reason of human agency.
He was a professor at Newcastle University for only 6 years; now “emeritus”, i.e. retired from academia (aged 70), though was until 2021 running his own (one-man-band) show engaged in modelling climate change etc.
The sort of scientist who flourished under Stalin, denouncing those with contrary opinions.
A lot of folk (and bots) replying to this tweet rather obviously have an interest in this not happening. https://t.co/P6y8CJCxum
Yes, thankfully, many people are still willing to stand up for academic and personal freedom of thought and expression.
They are not people with what Professor Cowern calls an (impliedly, improper) “interest” in the same, whereas Professor Cowern was Director of a private “climate change modelling” company set up by himself; NC Tech Insight Ltd.
In fact, it seems that Professor Cowern’s Linked-In profile is not entirely accurate, because, according to Companies House, NC Tech Insight Ltd, having been incorporated in 2014 (with a share capital of £100 and actual capital/assets — in 2018— of £83,000), was dissolved in early 2021. It seems that, as far as can be seen on cursory examination, Professor Cowern’s self-promoted expertise is not much in demand: see https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08897617.
More of the “professor’s” words of “wisdom”:
This makes you a good authoritarian, borderline criminal, on par with the worst torturers in history, because to undertake such drastic measures you'd have to be God. The reality is society should put in jail people who have the thought of jailing others because they believe…
For a supposed scientist who has (as far as I can see) developed nothing new or at least very interesting in the scientific field, the “professor” is extremely dogmatic and scathing. A Lysenko for our times?
“In 1940, Lysenko became director of the Institute of Genetics within the USSR‘s Academy of Sciences, and he used his political influence and power to suppress dissenting opinions and discredit, marginalize, and imprison his critics, elevating his anti-Mendelian theories to state-sanctioned doctrine.[4]
Soviet scientists who refused to renounce genetics were dismissed from their posts and left destitute. Hundreds if not thousands of others were imprisoned. Several were sentenced to death as enemies of the state, including the botanist Nikolai Vavilov.[5] Lysenko’s ideas and practices contributed to the famines that killed millions of Soviet people;[5] the adoption of his methods from 1958 in the People’s Republic of China had similarly calamitous results, culminating in the Great Chinese Famine of 1959 to 1962.”[5]
Professor Emeritus Cowern strikes me as a crank, overall, and an unpleasant crank at that. Also, someone with very poor logical skills, looking at his attempts to debate with critics.
This isn't banning free speech, it's recognising its proper limits. Nobody can have absolute freedom, because that enables them to harm the freedom of others – in this case, the freedom to live in safety. Hate speech is a closely analogous problem.
“Hate speech“? Is “Professor” Cowern (you know who)?
One of the features of Britain over the past few decades has been the over-supply of supposed “professors”. The proliferation of institutions calling themselves “universities” has resulted in an explosion in the numbers of those designated as “professors”. Many are rather poor.

You can see the way things are going, eg in the car production arena. Firstly, the “Great Reset” demands electric cars because (it is falsely claimed) they are more “green” than existing internal combustion cars. Then existing petrol/diesel cars will be gradually phased out (made more expensive or even illegal). Then, after that, most people will simply be unable to afford to buy or drive electric cars. Car transport will thenceforth largely be available only to the self-styled elites: the wealthy, politicians, bankers etc…

One can see that the transnational conspiracy tries relentlessly to twist or pervert everything in society, and thus it is that, in much of the world, “trans” “women” are given equal designation (or better than) real women, the primitive black cultures and backward “brown” cultures are given equal respect (or better) compared to European/European-derived cultures (which are almost always far more advanced), and disabled athletes, “paralympians”, are (with the best of intentions on the part of many adherents) given equal status with real Olympic athletes, and so on.

Hey @Ryanair, my parents who are in their 70s and 80s, had accidentally downloaded the return flight boarding card instead of the outgoing ones and you charged them £110 to print them at the airport. £110 for 2 pieces of paper which took 1 minute. Shame on you

Strange dream
Like Churchill, I have the habit of having an afternoon nap when possible. Today that came with an odd dream. I was running some political organization, and there was not only some (unidentified) journalist there, but also Nigel Farage.
Upstaging the journalist, Farage had made a grandiloquent offer, that is that he would pay me a million pounds to interview me for some TV show or podcast.
The interview was to take place at an ordinary table on the (maybe) third floor of a building. Just a dull, carpeted space, with a few people (including that journalist) around. Someone else was accompanying Farage.
Farage was about to start when, not quite trusting him, I remarked (in the dream, “urbanely”…) that I was sure that, as a man of business, he would not mind if I asked for the cheque upfront. He started to expostulate evasively. I asked what value of cheque he was willing to give. The answer, after some “umming and arring”, was…£22!
I became angry, dragging Farage from his seat and across the grey-carpeted floor to the window, with him struggling and trying to escape.
As I approached the windows, Farage in my grasp (though struggling to break free), I shouted at him that I had known that he could not be trusted, and that not only should he be chucked out of a window but that I was going to do it!
I then woke up.
Well, that was what I was doing this afternoon…
From where did that come?

Why is Diane Abbott so keen for 1000s of young men desperate for a passport to be allowed unquestioned entry into the UK?
In Diane Abbott’s case, the motivation is simple— she just hates white British people, despite having been given a very easy ride all her life.
She is also an idiot…
That idiot might easily have become Home Secretary.

As a barrister (until wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016, though I did not practise law anyway after 2008), I saw, even in the early 1990s, the “rotten borough” that is asylum law, and immigration law in general.
Perhaps so, and indeed that dissident third would shrink further if the people asked knew that the invaders are not detained, can come and go freely, get free food and medical (etc) as well as shelter, and even pocket money on top.
Having said that, the barges are a distraction. Up to a thousand of the invaders cross the Channel daily. Only 500-600 can be accommodated on one barge. Also, cross-Channel migration is only a fraction of the whole (about a million a year, plus births to migrant/immigrant/other non-white women already here).

Having said that, armies (especially large ones) vary much within themselves in their levels of effectiveness. Some regiments, corps, or other units are far above others.
Brutal. No wonder the Kiev regime is finding it hard to recruit volunteers, or even mercenaries.

The most interesting secondary fact is that the two main System parties are only supported by two-thirds of the voters.

“In 1995, the twins, Kyrie and Brielle Jackson, were born 12 weeks premature, each weighing only about 2 pounds. They were placed in separate incubators. One twin was not expected to survive. She went into critical condition. Her heart rate was rising while her oxygen level was dropping significantly. They were about to lose her. It was then that one nurse, Gale Kasparian, went against the hospital rules and standard procedure, putting the healthy twin next to her struggling sister in the same incubator. This decision turned out to be life-saving. Once the twins were close to each other, the struggling sister (Brielle) snuggled up to the healthy sister (Kyrie) who put her arms around Brielle. Almost immediately after, Brielle’s vital signs started stabilizing. Her heart rate and oxygen levels normalized. Both twin sisters eventually survived and grew into strong young women. The picture below came to be known as the rescuing hug and would change a part of our understanding of medicine. Hugging that is coming from the heart is proven to have calming and healing effects. Maybe there is someone in your life that can use a warm and heartfelt hug right now.”
I wonder how many more shantytowns of the same sort will be built under the expected “Labour” government after 2024, in order to shelter the million unwanted immigrants (migrant invaders) arriving here every single year. Mostly useless parasites.
Interesting, as are a few of the readers’ comments.
Argos was started by a man who “invented” Green Shield stamps, a ubiquitous thing in 1960s/1970s Britain. In fact, he “borrowed” the idea of those stamps from the USA, where they had been around for about half a century.
When that man, Richard Tompkins, started Argos, almost all the “experts” in the newspaper financial and business columns of the Press thought that it would not work. The “experts” were wrong, as usual (the same columnists and other scribblers also thought, in the 1980s and 1990s, that Sky TV and Amazon respectively would not succeed).

Never underestimate the strategic importance of defence in depth. In 1943, Allied forces invaded Sicily, then landed at Anzio, south of Rome, in January 1944, subsequently advancing to Rome itself by June 1944. The Italian government of Mussolini collapsed after the Fascist Grand Council and the King dismissed Mussolini, who was arrested (though later rescued by Otto Skorzeny’s commando and glider force).
The fall of Rome in 1944, however, was not the end of the matter in big-picture terms. The several east-west German lines of defence were only slowly breached by Allied forces: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_Line.
The German forces withdrew from the various lines in good order, always to the North. By the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Allies had still not reached the Austrian frontier.
In the present Ukraine conflict, the Kiev-regime forces are exhausting themselves. They have little prospect of advancing as far as Crimea, nor of regaining the former Ukrainian oblasts of Donetsk and Lugansk, let alone of breaching, in any substantial way, the borders of Russia proper.

“A mother was left injured in a horrific revenge attack when her lover hired his retired father to help ‘sort her out’ after she refused to have sex with him.
Alex Craig, 36, and his 78-year-old father Francis Craig carried out the attack when Alex dumped Luana Dougherty. Luana’s daughter Carlee, 16, and her boyfriend Finn McBride were also injured.
The court heard [that] Craig snr, a retired builder, arrived at Miss Dougherty’s house on March 19 and went on to threaten Carlee by saying he would kill her as he pulled her hair and threw her to the ground.
Craig jnr then kicked Miss Dougherty, a mother-of-two, twice in her ribs and repeatedly kicked Finn McBride, 16. During the attack, he also threw a bicycle, pool balls, and an electric fan at the teenager.
Miss Dougherty, a community support worker from Cheshire, was left with bruising to her ribs, a cut to her right arm, and a cut to her lip. Carlee suffered a bump to the side of her head and a bloody nose while Finn suffered cuts to his knees, a bite mark under his left arm, and a split lip.

“After visiting Bournemouth town centre today, I came away feeling shocked and sad to see what has happened to the town since I last visited and felt the need to vent my frustration.
I consider myself a local despite no longer living in the area.
I am 34 and lived in Christchurch for most of my life.
I loved regular day trips or nights out in Bournemouth.
The town was always so vibrant with lots going on, great shops and restaurants and always felt very safe.
I moved up to Scotland five years ago and have just returned to Bournemouth for a visit.
What the hell has happened to this place? There are barely any shops left, with many boarded up.
The town centre looks like a wasteland and is filthy.
A high proportion of people walking around the town centre seem to have a drink or drugs problem.
Quite frankly there is no centre to visit anymore and the issues with drink and drugs make the place have an unpleasant and uncomfortable atmosphere.
I just don’t understand what this council are doing but it genuinely disgusts and saddens me.
Simply having a nice beach and gardens is not enough of an attraction with such a rundown town at its centre.
Growing up I was always so proud to live in such a beautiful place.
Now I couldn’t be happier that I no longer live here and after my experience this week I doubt I will ever return to the area again.
What a shame.
SAM GRIFFITHS
Elgin, Scotland“
[extracts from a letter to the Bournemouth Echo newspaper]
Bournemouth is about 17 miles from my present home. I remember, just about, being there (from Berkshire) with my family on occasional days in the early/mid 1960s. My memories were of somewhere safe, white, English, sunny (we visited on odd days in the summer), with clean streets and buildings (mainly hotels and apartment buildings), a beach not too crowded, bright yellow double-decker buses.
I also spent a few days there in the 1980s, as a kind of unofficial add-on to a Soviet dance ensemble (my then girlfriend was interpreting for them); I cannot now recall which dance or ballet group it was, but one of the well-known ones. The hotel was a quite decent 3/4-star place, with an unheated outdoor swimming pool. All the Russians opened their windows and looked out when I jumped in and swam in the cold water at about 8 in the evening, after dark.
I also visited the place another time, also early 1980s, when I and my then girlfriend swam with the ex-wife and children of the poet, Yevtushenko. I blogged about that years ago. The grandmother of those children had a wooden bathing hut on a semi-private beach in a pleasant area of Bournemouth; also a nearby home.
Bournemouth is appalling now. I almost never go there. 20+ years ago, it was still not too bad, though nothing like what it was like in the 1960s anyway. I drove there a few times in 2000.
By 2009, when I had to go there and nearby a few times, the downturn was pretty obvious. Large numbers of foreign persons, mostly non-white. Part of that would be the number of language schools there (genuine or otherwise), and also other higher education institutes attracting foreign students. That is far from being the whole picture, though.
As for drugs, I have never had any connection with them (unless you count the cannabis-smoking bourgeois dropouts etc I knew in the mid-1970s, or the DEA agent to whom I was introduced at the Federal Courthouse in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1990, and who showed me the real evidence in a trial that was going on: a sportsbag filled with vacuum-packed cocaine, the packs looking like supermarket coffee packs, but transparent, containing white powder, packed hard). Worth USD $250,000 wholesale, apparently.
However, Bournemouth is apparently now a drugs hotspot.
Sad. Bournemouth is not alone in becoming a dump. Torquay and many other towns, previously rather nice, are no better.
