[“MBS IS FINISHED: THE HOUSE OF SAUD FACES TOTAL COLLAPSE Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector and Marine intelligence officer, warns that Mohammed bin Salman has entered a death spiral with no way out. A war launched in 2014 for quick military glory has become a 12-year nightmare that is now physically dismantling Saudi oil production. The American umbrella has failed, allies will not ride to the rescue, and the kingdom is losing decisively. The only remaining question is how fast the collapse arrives.
THE CORE VERDICT
Ritter states the demise of Muhammad bin Salman is inevitable.
“He’s finished.”
If lucky he catches the last gold-plated 747 out of Riyadh to a London hideaway or the United States.
If not, his head is removed by sword amid shouts of Allahu Akbar.
“It’s the end of the House of Saud.”
THE 2014 STRATEGIC ERROR
MBS tried to earn his military spurs with a fast victory over Ansar Allah.
The campaign turned into a 12-year nightmare.
His later decision to expand the war by striking Sanaa airfield only accelerated the destruction.
There is no political off-ramp left and no salvation coming.
THE OIL DESTRUCTION
Ansar Allah is no longer limited to blocking Bab el-Mandeb or hitting pipelines and storage.
They are now attacking production facilities and the wells themselves.
“This is the end of Saudi Arabia.”
Without oil the entire Vision 2030 fantasy collapses into what Ritter calls a Bedouin-infested sand pit with nothing left.
NO ALLIES WILL SAVE HIM
The American security umbrella proved nonfunctional.
Saudi forces are ineffective, overweight, proxy-driven and overmatched.
Pakistan faces massive Imran Khan protests and will not send tens of thousands of troops into a losing desert war.
Turkey has no interest in dying for the Saudis.
The Mecca Pact is a joke of maps and chalkboards with no real troop movement.
THE RIYADH PREDICTION
If MBS is removed and internal fighting follows, Ritter says Ansar Allah columns could drive through the streets of Riyadh.
Saudis have feared this outcome since 1990.
“Saudi Arabia is losing this war decisively. And there’s nothing that can be done to save them.”
The world will experience the same shock that hit when the Shah of Iran fell in 1979.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Scott Ritter sees MBS as toast and the House of Saud heading toward the same abrupt end that surprised everyone in 1979. Energy production is being dismantled, no outside force will intervene, and the collapse is already underway. History is about to deliver a shock that almost no one in the West has priced in.”]
Labour supporters who didn’t really know much about Burnham and were giddy with excitement when he got the job must be nearing the devastated stage about now. The man has been an absolute flop.

[“Historic Milestone in Florida as Over 80 Orthodox Jewish Families Move Into New $100 Million-Plus Community and Schools Open
More than 80 families from New York have moved into Lakefront Estates, where schools have now opened. Dozens more families are expected in the coming weeks, following reported investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in the project.
Located in Glades County near Lake Okeechobee, Lakefront is a purpose-built residential community. The broader development plan calls for up to 1,000 single-family homes and 300 rental units.
The vision goes beyond housing: plans include synagogues, mikvahs, boys’ and girls’ schools, a yeshiva, a kollel, kosher shopping and medical services. Developers are targeting families seeking more space and an alternative to soaring housing costs in established Orthodox neighborhoods.
Hatzalah South Florida has also begun organizing a local branch, meeting with prospective responders who will serve Lakefront. With families arriving and classrooms opening, the focus now shifts from construction to building the services a growing community needs.“]

The Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, GB News and LBC all published news reports that Dr. Salem had been charged with possessing indecent images of children, then deleted it. https://t.co/iZJZmpf7uTpic.twitter.com/913wkIwo8L
It has been suggested that there may now be some variety of superinjunction in place, an injunction which prevents being published even the fact of its existence. I wonder. The msm deletions would seem to support that theory, but how can such an injunction cover even the fact that a woman has not only been charged but has been committed for trial?
Apart from that, I have nothing further to say at this time about Lola Salem and the horrible little degenerate, Gove, having said it all in the past few days on the blog, and previously.

Talking point
I see that the Jewish lobby is loudly whining and wailing today about the Jews killed on this day 3 years ago in Gaza.
Well, I concede that the incursion into “Israel” from Gaza should not have happened in quite the manner it did, and that some of the acts done by HAMAS were incorrect and insupportable, but the response of the Israeli Jewish state has been brutal, inhumane (indeed, inhuman), and as close to genocide as makes no real difference.
Almost complete devastation of Gaza, most homes destroyed, hundreds of thousands killed or injured, many injured very badly (loss of limbs etc), and most of those killed or injured women and children.
It seems that many of the Jews killed three years ago were killed (via free-fire protocols) by the Israeli forces themselves. The total Jewish death toll was somewhere around 1,000, a tiny fraction of the number of Gazans killed and wounded in vindictive retaliation by the (Israeli) Jews (egged on by many Jews living overseas, including in the UK).
One has to ask, when on Earth will the Jews (of Israel, and those supporting the slaughter and cruelty from overseas) have had enough blood (in Gaza)?

I should have thought that during the day would be better tactics, in order to cause far more chaos and disruption to transport and to economic life etc. It may be that countermeasures are more effective during daylight hours; I do not know.

[“Royal Mail has announced plans to cut up to 2,500 jobs by the end of 2027.
When billionaire Daniel Křetínský’s takeover was approved in December 2024, the government presented the deal as one that would help “secure jobs”, while Jonathan Reynolds said: “We have negotiated something that secures the long-term future of Royal Mail.”
Less than two years later, thousands of jobs are set to disappear.
Britain has spent decades selling off essential national infrastructure on the promise that private ownership would make it leaner, cheaper and better. Too often the result has been the opposite: jobs cut, services hollowed out, prices pushed up and private owners protected, while the public is left carrying the risk when the model fails. Royal Mail is starting to look like another example of the same failed experiment.“]
As far as I am concerned, there is no decent party or, as far as I know, candidate, standing.
The Greens are up against it, now that Galloway is standing. Splits the avowedly anti-Zionist vote.
Last poll I saw had the Cons on 17% nationwide. Would mean they might get as few as 50 MPs, less than half even compared to their present depleted complement.
More than four in five Tory shadow ministers served in Tory governments that put mass immigration on steroids and broke our borders.
And unlike Rob Jenrick and Suella Braverman, they didn’t have the decency of resigning and saying sorry.

And is already paying heavily as complaints come on to the Charity Commission and donations plummet – word on the street is if it looks like RNLI is going to crash Andy will make another pilgrimage to the legendary money tree
I do not know what is the financial position of the RNLI, but I expect that, once it became clear that the RNLI was ferrying migrant-invaders to our shores, the “useful idiots” of Twitter/X and Blue Sky Social all donated but, at the same time, millions or ordinary British people who oppose the migration-invasion of our country switched off. I suspect that the latter effect will be greater over time.
The RNLI is but one of many British institutions, both governmental and non-governmental, that have been captured by the forces of decadence and treachery over the past 30 years.

Societies fall apart when citizens no longer think the state is legitimate. This is what many British people are starting to think. They see a state that appears more interested in facilitating illegal migration than looking after its own citizens. And that is very dangerous.
Whatever one may think of Burnham and/or his announced policies, those Conservative Party rank-and-file members are really weird, with one or two exceptions, arguably (the blonde woman and the old man who distrusts “Fabianss”, though even they seem slightly “not all there”, with the blonde regarding arrogant and wrongheaded Kemi Badenoch as her great black hope). Several interviewees are non-white, and —as has been the case for many years— the young English ones are like wet-behind-the-ears geeks or nerds out of a TV sitcom, or youthful copies of Michael Gove. Utterly pathetic.
I myself think that Con Party support, presently around 17% or so, will decline to 15% or even 12% within a few years, well within the maximum range of this Parliament. The late middle-aged and elderly (both the mainstay of the Conservative vote and almost half of those that vote at all) are defecting to Reform or elsewhere. Many are dying off, too. That might leave the Con Party with only a handful of MPs next time around.
Make the change in your life to become more self sufficient. Join with others creating parallel systems that work in our favour.

The point is that even an “Iron Dome” (or “Britannia Shield”) would not —could not— protect the UK from missiles (I suppose the idiots are talking about Russian ones), if only because Russia has 7,000 nuclear weapons alone (mostly, I think, missiles), let alone non-nuclear ones. Most are too fast to be intercepted by any presently-available anti-missile-missiles.
In any case, the UK should be joining, at least informally, with Russia, leaving NATO, and opening up new markets in Russia for British goods and services, as well as buying oil and gas at cost price.

Labour would rather take money from British pensioners than stop spending billions on foreigners.
That is a political choice.
Reform UK will slash welfare for foreigners, slash foreign aid, and put British pensioners first. pic.twitter.com/IQnBVgTNOD
Whatever the arguments, the fact is that pensioners will be worse-off under Labour after 2030 (when Burnham says the Triple Lock will go) and, quite possibly, before then. Result? 99% of pensioners (a third of the electorate, and maybe as much as 50% of the actually-voting electorate) will not be voting Labour. Largely but not just because of the Triple Lock being dumped. It is the whole direction of travel.
Late tweets
Most of the pensioner cohort don’t vote Labour anyway. Labour support in 65+ year olds currently at 12%. https://t.co/4eOByY5LEv
That funny woman tweeter is obsessed with, inter alia, cutting off Triple Lock money going to pensioners. Yes, only 12% of people of 65+ years vote Labour. That will now shrink to about 1%-2%, I expect. That means that 98% of those 65+ will vote somewhere other than Labour. Probably Reform, most of them.
The point, though, previously also made on the blog, is that people aged 65+ mostly actually vote. The other age-groups vote in far smaller numbers, proportionately.
The 65+ age group is about a third of the electorate, and must be at least 40% of those that actually turn out to vote (or vote via postal ballot). Maybe even 50%
Labour will therefore not be getting the votes of anything up to 50% of the total of those (of all ages) that vote, even before taking into consideration the votes of the <65 age groups.
Burnham-Labour has already alienated the under-24 age group by the recently-announced benefit cuts and changes.
Anything can happen in politics, but it would take a near-miracle for Labour to get to 35% of the poll, and that is surely their minimum if they want to be sure of a Commons majority.
That latest poll translates to a Commons with about 342 Labour MPs (so a majority of seats), 155 Reform (official Opposition), 55 Cons, 51 LibDems, and 20 SNP [etc].
Uncertain now how accurate such predictions are. Restore may only be getting 3% of the opinion poll votes, but that is enough to badly damage Reform in marginal seats. As to Labour, I doubt whether its present relative popularity will continue, but there is no doubt that many of Burnham’s recently-announced policies are quite popular:
Burnham’s housing policies are the clearest vote winners from his conference announcements while changes to the pension triple lock have the least support. pic.twitter.com/7wKdZQ8m0B
I myself agree with all but three of the policies listed there.
My feeling right now is that Reform, though so disappointing (pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, pro-finance-capitalism and —in some respects— globalism, is still the main game in town in terms of at least pseudo-national populism. I can see many more presently Conservative votes going to Reform.
If I am right, and the Con vote reduces to, say 12% by 2028/2029, and the Reform vote rises to, say, 30%, then the post-election picture would be very different: that would give Labour maybe 265 MPs (far short of a majority), and Reform would have more MPs than Lab, 281. The LibDems would be on 53, the SNP 23, Greens 3 and the Con Party only 2. Near-wipeout. That would effectively finish off the Con Party.
As to government, Reform would be unable to form even a workable minority government despite having a plurality of MPs, but Labour would just about be able to function as a minority government with LibDem and SNP [etc] support.
Yet another Tory position I hate and I grew up very rurally, on horses and I live there now. I gave the Countryside Alliance march a swerve in 2002, one of the few Tories to do so. Support the hunting of beautiful foxes? Foul. 🦊
I agree with that lady tweeter on that subject. For many years I broadly supported foxhunting as a colourful historical spectacle with long roots in England, but for many years now I have strongly opposed it (and most other field sports) by reason of my love for animals and, in minor key, also my dislike of, or distaste for, all foxhunters that I have ever met (at least as an adult).

I happened to see a travel show presented by an American of whom I had not previously heard, one Stanley Tucci [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Tucci]. Apparently a well-known film-maker and actor (well, I cannot know everything…). A New Yorker whose grandparents or great-grandparents emigrated from Calabria to America before the Second World War or, possibly, before the First World War.
It seems that the show was made in 2021, so 5+ years ago.
The programme showed him in Tuscany, then in Sicily. Mostly about the Italian regional cuisine(s). Not terribly dull, though hardly riveting, but of course this is an area covered many times in similar vein (think Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver, and many others).
When in Sicily, this Tucci expressed the view that immigration improves any society! Very wrongheaded. What many now call a “luxury belief” held by those (usually the affluent) who prefer not to see the downsides of mass immigration from backward parts of the world such as black Africa, North Africa etc.
Even without having to hear his wrongheaded views about the migration-invasion of Italy, I have to say that I found the aforesaid Tucci not someone to whom I warmed. He lacked the charm of some similar TV tourists.
Never mind. It filled an empty hour.
History as rarely seen
An historical and historic film sent to me today. Worth hearing or reading (subtitled)
“When Zack Polanski told the heart-rending tale of his ancestors fleeing the Nazis, it earned him applause at last year’s Green Party conference.
But the Holocaust story has raised questions after family history research found his grandparents were all born in Britain long before the Second World War.
On Thursday, Mr Polanski did nothing to clear up the mystery when the Greens declined to answer a request to explain the powerful yet puzzling line in his keynote speech.“

I think Andy Burnham and Labour just made a huge mistake. Re-joining the EU, turbo-charging immigration from the Third World, dismantling support for British pensioners, smashing workers with Net Zero … it all opens up a major flank for Reform UK https://t.co/m07sn1jA4W
“English” (or Japanese, or Chinese, or whatever) is not a mere label, which an individual can stick on themselves and claim to be properly descriptive.
I was born in England of two English parents (and am believed —plausibly but not definitely— to have one German great-grandfather). I am, and have every right to call myself, English.
My wife is English, born of two English parents (one Norwegian grandparent). She was, however, born in the 1950s in the then Tanganyika (now Tanzania), which at the time was a British colony. She came to the UK (to live) aged 14. That does not make her “Tanzanian”, or African!
If someone black or brown is born in the UK, in England, that person is not English or even (passport notwithstanding) British. The person concerned is not English/British but something else, even if born/brought up etc in the UK. Someone such as Kemi Badenoch, who was born in London of 1981 of two Nigerian parents (while they were on a flying visit to make sure that she was born in the UK, which fact —at the time— gave her, under English law, the right to a British passport later in life).
Kemi Badenoch is not English and, in real terms (despite having that “scammed” passport), is not British either.
Kemi Badenoch in fact only came to (or came back to) the UK aged 16-17. She was not even brought up here, and her attitudes are foreign, not that that in itself is determinative.
It would be absurd for me to say “I am Chinese“, even if living in China and having lived there my whole life, even if born there; indeed, even had I a Chinese passport.
Logic alone makes the case, but many of our treacherous scribblers, TV/radio talking heads, and MPs, wilfully refuse to see it.

Translates to a Commons with about 228 Reform MPs (potentially fewer, by reason of Restore, though Restore is itself on a mere 3%; the model I use has not yet added Restore).
So anyway Reform 98 short of a majority. 217 Labour MPs, 71 LibDems, 69 Cons (so near-irrelevant; unable even to make an arrangement with Reform). SNP 30 [etc].
A weak minority government at best. Might lead to a second election not long after. Good, though, for social-nationalism.
In the triple lock era the 2.5% has been invoked 4 times, without it SP would have risen 74%, with it 80%. Inflation will likely run over 2.5% for years so removing it would solve nothing and cost votes. It won't fund a care service.
I blogged about all that yesterday. Flagging the removal of the Triple Lock will mean almost all pensioners who might have voted Labour (a smallish minority anyway) will not now vote Labour.
Can someone explain how, a few hours before the Prime Minister’s conference speech, you simultaneously have Ministers briefing the Government is 100% committed to the triple lock, and No.10 briefing it’s going to be abolished. https://t.co/UWaqVGyezq

[“Nigel Farage and I have been referenced in a “hate crime conference” for police officers, which took issue with people questioning the hate marches and the extent of Muslim integration in Britain, the Telegraph reports. Specifically, the Muslim speaker criticised the fact that I dared to share a survey on @GBNEWS showing large numbers of British people question whether Islam really is compatible with British life. Apparently, that is not allowed. Sorry, but this is what we in the West call “free speech”, “free expression”, and “debate”. While Andy Burnham’s Labour is fast-tracking Orwellian measures to shut down these debates, those of us in the Common Sense Majority will never stop having them. And why is the increasingly woke police being given openly biased training sessions like this?
Tell you what. I would happily come along to the “York and North Yorkshire Hate Conference” to share my views and provide a bit of balance. If the organisers are reading, send me a note.“]
The police have been behaving like compliant brainwashed clowns for the past 20+ years. They roll up to “conferences” of that sort, and allow themselves to be ranted at, either by Islamists, or by non-white “multikultis”, or by malicious Jews of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” type (despite the fact that the main personalities of the “CAA” are proven liars and perjurers).
The police as a poundshop Stasi. It has to stop. Get them back doing their proper job(s).
It is in the interest of the police themselves to stop. if not, then when push comes to shove they will share the fate of Britain’s treacherous MPs, scribblers, talking heads, and other riff-raff.

SNAP POLL / By 48% to 28%, Britons support Andy Burnham's proposal to change the triple lock in order to help fund part of a national care service pic.twitter.com/ErsXcAQQkC
What Burnham and Labour have failed to understand is that, yes, maybe “only” 28% of voters oppose dumping the Triple Lock, but almost all of those are people over 60 y-o.
About a third of the electorate (not the whole population 0-100) is now aged 65+; probably 40% or more are aged 60+. In other words, it can be inferred that a very high percentage of those aged 60+, and almost all of those aged 65+, oppose dumping the Triple Lock. These are the people who always vote (admittedly, I myself am an exception). If 28% of eligible voters are against dumping the Triple Lock, then probably about 40% of voters who are actually going to vote oppose these proposals.
I think that Labour will find that much of their support among the over 60s, maybe also over-50s, will fall away now. Why? Because those getting or about to get the State Pension are really interested in what happens to the Triple Lock, whereas younger people, whatever their views, are naturally not going to be so interested, so their approval of Burnham’s plans is not very important politically, electorally; they have other issues of importance to them.
One point to bear in mind is that the official inflation figures do not reflect the real state of play. Inflation is usually far higher than the official figures suggest, and that particularly applies to the staples that poorer people, and many pensioners in particular, buy regularly.
If you honestly believe that scrapping the tripple lock will fund or go toward social care your diluded. Thats money taken off pensioners wont go nowhere near social care!
That last tweeter may be unable to spell but, of course, is correct. Money taken from pensioners will go to, inter alia, “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev), importing and then sheltering and feeding millions of useless black/brown parasites, supporting the USA’s overseas adventures, and then on a myriad projects most of which will not benefit either older or younger (real) British people.
Not content with having the lowest state pension in Europe, we are now aiming to be *world beating* in poverty among people who – through circumstances often beyond their control – have no private pensions. Unlike all the eejits voting for and clapping this.
[“NEWS: The Islamist organisation 5 Pillars has reported John Cleese to the Prevent Programme after John made factual, accurate and valid statements about Islam
John’s statements on Islam:
“To criticise a culture whose holy book advocates the killing of all the people they disagree with…is not racist. It’s culturalist.”
“traditional British values are under attack from Muslim belief systems, especially the Koranic demands to kill ‘infidels’.”
“I personally prefer a culture that does not approve of Female Genital Mutilation, Child Marriage and Killing Infidels.”
“Another religious diktat from the Pro-Paedophila Propaganda Department.”
5 Pillars are a vile organisation who should not exist in the UK
We value freedom of speech and expression especially when it comes to criticising ideologies or religions.“]
In fact, John Cleese need not worry about being arrested. If the initial referral to Prevent is then passed to police, and if that initial screening reveals no security threat or “danger of radicalization” (i.e. which might lead to “terrorist” activity), the police close the file, though in some cases may refer the matter to mental health services to to the so-called “Channel” multi-agency outfit.
Cleese can carry on carrying on, in short.

They confiscated the food he had stolen and was eating, sent him on his way & told him not to come back.

(No, I don’t condone stealing (obviously!) but when it’s a hungry, homeless man & the product is half eaten, wouldn’t you at least let him finish it?!

It also separately blows my mind that if only he’d come over on a boat…he’d be in a hotel right now, likely being offered a choice of breakfast…“]
It might be added that the brainless Kemi Badenoch “plan” (soundbite) to give the unemployed etc store cards or restricted debit cards instead of money will turbocharge shoplifting and every other sort of minor —and maybe not so minor— crime. At least it would, were it ever to be put into effect, but Kemi Carpetbagger has no more chance of becoming Prime Minister than have I at this point (and I am both far more qualified and capable than the Nigerian woman and actually real British).
I really am sick of the mainstream media being so cosy both with System politicians and the UK’s often pathetic “anti-terror” police/security set-up.
The “security and intelligence” bods (and the msm’s supposed “experts” on the subject, such as Gordon Corera and quite a few others) are now treated with the respect and veneration formerly reserved for the Royal Family and senior clergy (until they too turned out to be useless).
As soon as something is labelled “terror-related”, even if it amounts to nothing more than a few people putting up stickers, or painting a Swastika somewhere, a fearful hush descends. Absolutely ridiculous.
Even had those arrested been real terrorists (which they obviously are not, now having been released “under investigation”), there would have been no need for an entire village to have been evacuated, surely (or only for an hour or so, until it was clear that none of the arrested was carrying a bomb-detonating device).
So another underwhelming contemporary British event…

[“Andy Burnham will signal the end of the pensions triple lock in his conference speech on Tuesday, The Telegraph understands.
The Prime Minister will tell Labour delegates that the triple lock does not work in its current form and suggest it should be reviewed in the party’s next manifesto.“]
In that case, you can kiss goodbye to virtually the whole “grey vote”. True, only a minority of the over-50s (and a much smaller minority of over-65s) vote Labour anyway, but this will have a measurable electoral effect— no question.
If Burnham thinks that the promise of a pie-in-the-sky social care programme (which may never come into being anyway) will mitigate the anger of pensioners not being able to keep up with the real level of inflation, by reason of his proposed scrapping of the Triple Lock, he is very mistaken.
Burnham may have just lost (even more badly) the next general election.

Also, if a country becomes, in effect, a concealed or semi-concealed dictatorship/tyranny, at what point, if at all, does it then become legitimate to use force to oppose it or to remove it?
Also, will the above questions require different answers if the said collegial dictatorship is, whether deliberately or via its own incompetence, running a once-great country into the ground?

Talking point
I was just looking at a blog post from 2019, in which I examined the several main contenders for the Conservative Party leadership contest of that year and, therefore, contenders to become Prime Minister.
The post has had many hits over the years, and right up to today. Re-reading it (I also took the opportunity to post an update, the first it has had since 2019), I think that my assessments of the various personalities still stand up pretty well:
Would translate to a Commons with about 318 Labour MPs (just short of a majority; about 8 short); 162 Reform UK MPs; 69 LibDems; 52 Cons (less than half of their MP cadre at present); SNP 23 [etc].
So a Labour-LibDem coalition or arrangement, or maybe a Labour-SNP one. Weak government that may play into the hands of social-nationalism.

[“No Money”: The European Union Has Left the Kyiv Regime Without Promised Funds
The Kyiv regime is facing another catastrophic shortage of funds for the purchase of weapons, according to Politico. In the next two months, it urgently needs to find at least $27 billion to fill the gaps in the defense budget.
Finding itself in a desperate situation, the regime is openly pressuring Brussels, demanding that loans be disbursed early. However, the current deficit is entirely the fault of the “Banderites” themselves: they have spent all the remaining funds while Hungary was delaying the approval of the next tranche. Nevertheless, the amount that Zelensky needs has not been found by the European bureaucrats. Brussels has only approved $6.6 billion, and not all of these funds will go directly to the Kyiv regime.“]
That must be right. That cruel idea (borrowed from American fake think-tanks —lobby orgs, in reality– via Dunce Duncan Smith) is degrading, stigmatizing, accomplishes nothing, and of course means that it would be even harder for someone unemployed to get a job (because there are incidental expenses that have to be paid for in cash, usually; things such as photocopying, haircuts, whatever).
Of course, Carpetbagger Kemi Badenoch (a Nigerian woman who is only allowed to be in this country because her parents deliberately had her born in London, thus giving her the “right” to a British passport as the law was in 1981) would not know that, because she mainly worked in very low-level jobs such as in a McDonalds before going back to f/t education as a student (she was at first refused entry to —even— Warwick University by reason of her poor educational level).
If I were unemployed and were subjected to such a regime, I should probably take action directe to get what I needed.
If the Badenoch woman thinks that such reheated Dunce Duncan Smith policies are votewinners, she must be even more dim than she seems. Only the least intelligent or aware pensioner-age voters would like such policies, and they almost all vote Con anyway, except for those who have recently preferred Reform UK.
Basic Income (aka Universal Basic Income) is the better way forward.
In any case, people in this country will not, most of them, vote in effect for an African woman (or any non-white) to become Prime Minister. Yes, the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, was briefly and unsuccessfully in that position, but he “inherited” it from brainless “ho” Liz Truss, and lost the 2024 General Election at least partly because few people wanted to vote Con while an Indian led the Con Party.

[“Patrick Christys interviewed activist Imarn Ayton on GB News over calls for slavery reparations, and she barely let him get a word in. Asked what reparations money would actually be used for, Ayton said people would “probably throw some poo out of a window or something,” talking over him repeatedly and dismissing his own family history as farmers and peasants as irrelevant to the debate.
He’s bang on the money. This is what open racism against white Britons looks like on national television now, mocked and dismissed to their face, and it gets treated as a normal debate instead of what it actually is.
Imagine a white guest on national television mocking black Britons the way Ayton mocked white ones on live TV, there’d be arrests within days. She walks away with a platform instead.
Disgusting.“]
Well, now that Bonnie Greer has gone up the chimney, I suppose that the (((System))) needs another black woman System-puppet in the msm, a “go-to” interviewee willing to trash European culture and civilization non-stop, however ignorantly.
Why do “we” tolerate that kind of enemy? Why?
Stupid woman thinks that she and her clan, or people, would have been better off without “slavery and colonialism“. Oh, she must mean that she would be better if she (and all her forbears) had been or were still living in mud huts in the middle of Africa… Oh, no, wait…
I had never, before today, heard of that one. Seems that she is a not very successful actress (or as people in the UK and USA are now expected to say, “actor”), 35 years of age, who has in past years appeared in a couple of very minor and unsuccessful films: see https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5335007/.
After the most privileged and expensive school education in the world Harry left Eton with two A levels — a B in Art and a D in Geography. And you want me to listen to what he has to say on AI??!! https://t.co/wEOFi9v5aW
Incredible, as Andrew Neil implies, that many people still pay attention to what that thick princeling has to say (that applies also to his brother, father, and other silver spoon idiots of the type). “The Harry formerly known as Prince” and his consort, Meghan Mulatta. A joke, a joke that degrades Britain and the British people.
How do you know that, if he’s just reading some else’s script, he has a clue what he’s talking about? This deference to royalty in fields about which they know nothing is absurd. https://t.co/ETqB1Ey6V4
I see that, for once, Andrew Neil is thinking —and all but saying— the same as me.
I’ve flown to New York with a bunch of green grifters to urge others to reduce their carbon footprint. They’ll take no notice, of course, but NYC in September is lovely. https://t.co/sK5tVh9LOM
Not sure that I had encountered anything about that black woman previously. Her name does not, I think, strike any chord as an MP, which apparently she is. Well, there it is, “the Westminster monkeyhouse”, as often called.
Now, having read about her [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miatta_Fahnbulleh], I see that she is actually a Cabinet minister! Born in Liberia to Liberian and Sierra Leonean parents. Came here aged 7. Her father (a former foreign minister of the Liberian black “state”) must have embezzled or otherwise acquired money, because his daughter went to fee-paying schools on arrival in the UK.
Ah, I now see that she is married to one Graham, “a hedge-fund owner” (from the name, presumably British, i.e. white), and that her (their?) 3 children all attend fee-paying schools.
Ecce the “Labour” Party in 2026…
Britain at present is so ******, it is just not true.
I just looked, and it seems that in fact I have, briefly and en passant, noticed her existence once or twice on the blog, earlier this year: see

[“I do not believe that the British state actually has the capability of going to war on an industrial scale, which means there is no capability to conscript people even if the desire is there.
The reasons why are as such:
The military industries do not exist, and would take a few years to create, and would involve creation of an enormous supply chain that we would see happening (re-armament).
The infrastructure to train people on that scale does not exist, and would take years to create, which, again, we’d see happening.
The budget given to the military is pitiful and nothing near what would be the case if the capability for war was being created.
Britain has a genuinely negligible amount of independent military power, and this is nationally suicidal, but this also means that the idea that industrial scale war could start tomorrow is fantasy.“]
For example:
The British Army can deploy about one combat capable Brigade as it stands now.
There are typically 3 or so brigades in a division.
There are typically 3 or so divisions in an army/corps.
The British Army can deploy about one combat capable Brigade as it stands now.
There are typically 3 or so brigades in a division.
There are typically 3 or so divisions in an army/corps.
There are multiple armies in an army group.
The Russian Armed Forces has five army groups (West/Centre/South/East/North).
Each of these groups is comprised of multiple armies, each of those with multiple divisions, each of those with multiple brigades.
The scale of industrial warfare is hard to comprehend for people with no military experience or understanding.“]
Yerbury, a former soldier, lays it on the line.
For me, the nuclear background is the key. Russia has maybe 7,000 nuclear weapons of various types, while the UK has, it is said, between 150 and 200, of which maybe 50 are potentially in play at any given moment. Britain could badly damage parts of Russia, but Russia could easily and completely annihilate Britain (military bases, ports, all major cities and manufacturing plants, as well as all power plants, motorways and railways etc). Need one say more?
Would be a fairly good result for social nationalism. Weak coalition government (Lab-LibDem). That, and events, might pave the way for real social-national upsurge.
Typical J. Plays with words, definitions etc. Many of “them” are brought up arguing about definitions in relation to their religious texts (such as they are).
It does not matter whether you call the Gaza “holocaust” a “genocide” or not. The utter devastation the Israeli Jews have wrought on the people of Gaza speaks for itself. That is without even talking about the deliberate destruction of hospitals and medical centres, ambulances etc, and without talking about the sheer evil sadism of the Jewish army, sniping at children, competing to hit them in particular areas of the body etc. Satanic, really.
Get a job, addicts! To think that Whately used to be a gentle Cameroon. What has she become. 🤮 https://t.co/TF9nOu8CD1
What a stupid woman, even by contemporary political standards.
The Whately woman seems not to understand that, once social security/”welfare” money is paid to an unemployed (or other) person, that money becomes the property, the money, of the payee as soon as it is paid over, just as the Whately woman’s pay and MP expenses is hers to use as she sees fit as soon as she receives it.
Someone with so little understanding of basic law and custom should not be an MP, let alone anywhere in government.
As for the lady herself, her own work background is far from impressive, and she is married to the CEO of an energy company, so has never had the slightest struggle financially. They own 2 or 3 houses.
People like her always remind me of Lenin’s famous dictum: “a revolution without firing squads is not worth much“.
Not that I agree with the lady tweeter Fiona-Natasha Syms on her other point. “Cameroons” (devotees of the David Cameron-Levita misgovernment of 2010-2015) were not so gentle. Iain Dunce Duncan Smith for example, the failed Army officer with the invented CV, who claimed MP expenses for many years for his complicit wife to be on the roll as an “employee”, when she never did a stroke of work. Lying fraud Smith, who spent his time making life far more difficult for the sick, disabled, unemployed etc. He should be punished appropriately for his evil deeds.
