I missed the reports of the recent death of farmer Tony Martin, imprisoned in 1999 for having shot some “travellers” (Irish tinkers) who had targeted his rundown farmhouse by night.
Martin was eventually released after having spent 3 years in prison, his initial conviction for murder having been downgraded on appeal to manslaughter. There had been a huge public outcry supporting Martin. I myself recall having posted a supportive postcard to him from Turkey when he was still sitting in prison. 2001. I wonder whether he ever received it.
I was unaware in 1999 and 2001 that Martin had (probably in the 1970s) supported the National Front [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Front_(UK)], and was related by marriage to Andrew Fountaine [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Fountaine, an interesting if slightly alarming character whom I once saw, and heard speak (at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London in 1975, when I was aged 18-19).
Martin should never have been prosecuted or even questioned (except pro-forma).
Hero.

A health minister who hopes pensioners will be dead before the next election and a chancellor who withdraws the winter fuel allowance, Labour are a disgrace! 😡😡😡
Starmer and Andrew Gwynne may loath pensioners and want them dead before the next election, but they seem to have forgotten the millions of people coming towards retirement have had the winter fuel allowance snatched away from them and won’t forgive. Labour are dead in the water.
Jack Lopresti, former Italian ice-cream salesman and sometime TA (part-time) private soldier [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Lopresti] and MP (2010-2024) is in fact not “fighting” in Ukraine. He is sitting at a desk in Kiev.
Both Lopresti and his ex-wife, Andrea Jenkyns, lost their Commons seats in 2024. They were both members of Conservative Friends of Israel.
Lopresti seems rather unintelligent, and obviously has little idea of geopolitics, history, or anything else much. I expect he is being paid for his present role, and paid more than the peanuts pay, paid in local rubbish-money, that the Ukrainian soldiers get (when paid at all).
Incidentally, nearly 6 years ago, I penned an assessment of Andrea Jenkyns:
There are two (or three) main arguments against mass non-European immigration into the UK. One is both racial and cultural, meaning also societal, the other is economic. For me, the economic argument is not the primary one, but it is (obviously) hugely significant. The swamping of this country by non-whites is making us poorer and, until stopped and reversed, will continue to make us poorer as a country, as a population and, particularly as British individuals.
Do you trust Kemi Badenoch and the Conservative Party will lower immigration if they are returned to power?
Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has proposed "catching and imprisoning for treason" Ukrainian citizens dissatisfied with Kiev's policies. pic.twitter.com/THkdCzf42M
You still see stupid British scribblers, TV talking heads, MPs etc, spouting about how “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) is fighting for European culture, democracy, civil rights etc. In reality, the shambolic and corrupt Kiev regime is a brutal dictatorship.
The Jew Zelensky rules as the figurehead of a cabal of dictators. Elections should have been held a year or two ago and now never will be. Trade unions are banned. Dissidents are arrested already; a few have even been shot or otherwise “eliminated”. Recruitment to the armed forces is now largely by press-gang— people simply seized off the streets by militia goons.

“Just 1 in 20 visas that Britain handed out to immigrants in 2022-2023 went to people who are likely to make a net contribution to the economy”. https://t.co/amLAYUsp5d
There is a constant attempt in the msm to downplay immigration as a social and political issue, as if it is some kind of side-issue or non-issue. Far from it. It impacts every other social and political issue, from housing and water supply to policing, law and order, educational standards, transport, pay, State benefits (including pensions)— you name it.
Indeed, the System still tries to pretend that immigration is beneficial, both socially and economically, despite the enormous weight of evidence to the contrary. The level of deception and, on the part of the System drones themselves, self-deception, is almost incredible.
So we in the UK still have “compulsory blacks” in pretty much every TV drama, “soap”, TV ad, panel discussion etc. “Blacks with Everything”, to adapt the name of the well-known play by Arnold Wesker. I wrote about it some 6 years ago on the blog. That despite the fact that actual blacks (Africans, West Indians/Afro-Caribbean) make up “only” about 5% or 6% of the whole UK population.
The propaganda is not aimed, primarily, at persons of my age (68) or indeed those in their 50s, 40s, or even 30s, but at “the young” and, especially, at children whose critical faculties are relatively or completely undeveloped.
The aim of that sort of propaganda is to normalize both the multikulti society and, even more so, inter-racial relationships, resulting in mixed-race children and, ultimately, in an entirely mixed-race society (except at the top level), as provided for by the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan and, at least impliedly, by the Protocols of Zion:
A lot of fuss (whichever side you are on) over one runway at one major airport. Meanwhile, the fake “green” agenda has shut down much-needed power stations, damaged the automotive industry, interferes in various ways in the lives of tens of millions of British people, and for what? Really, for what?
In the words of Fleet Street in the past, “you read it here first!”. This blog predicted that Starmer and his cabal, once in government, would [pretend to] “solve” the “small boats” invasion by simply approving, whether in France or elsewhere, the asylum applications of 95% of the invaders. Likewise the problems of accommodating the invaders in the UK.
The migrant-invaders are, increasingly, being given accommodation across the country in council houses, other social housing, and B%B accommodation paid for by local councils (local people, in other words) and by taxpayers generally. They are, thus, less visible than when all concentrated in hotels. They simply become part of “the UK’s housing crisis” almost all of which is, in reality, an immigration crisis.

In this post, I start to speculate on what motivated Mark Lewis in his hope to bankrupt me with his fees, and why he encouraged and made reports to the police. It is not normal behaviour for a solicitor? Perhaps @MLewisLawyer can explain it? https://t.co/Lit5YIY9Nzpic.twitter.com/6HnzBwTKB0
Very true. Apart from which, and despite the flaws adherent to all empires, the British Empire was great and, overall, or on the whole, something positive.
You only have to look at any TV quiz show, such as The Chase, Mastermind, or even University Challenge, to see that most English/British people have no real sense of their own history.
For many, it comes down to a few simple or cartoon views of a mere handful of periods such as Industrial Revolution, Victorian era, Henry VIII/Elizabeth I/Spanish Armada, maybe the English Civil War, and of course WW2 (largely, the Battle of Britain air war) with a few other individuals and events standing out as historical stalagmites, and usually thought of as isolated cameos, akin to the Swiss legend of Wilhelm Tell having to shoot an apple off the head of his son.
Robin Hood, William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings, Drake, maybe Waterloo, and Churchill (as indomitable hero leader, not as the warmonger and hopeless strategist who destroyed —thanks to US and Soviet alliances— not only the German Reich, but his own British Empire and those of all other European powers.
No wonder that so many silly people, if asked their views of the current migration-invasion, reply along the lines of “we have always had immigration— Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Huguenots...” etc, as if the invasion of this country by non-Europeans, in the millions, indeed the tens of millions, is effectively the same!
I have occasionally wondered what motivates idiots such as Socialist Worker Party demonstrators. Time after time (over the past 50+ years— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK)), the said idiots turn up in the cold rain, wave their placards, shout slogans or insults, and achieve exactly nothing. For half a century. According to Wikipedia, there are about 2,500 paid up members, but the average turnout seems to be about a dozen.
Still, to expect reason from the unreasonable is itself unreasonable.
The SWP was established, like its predecessor orgs, by a Jew called Gluckstein, who took on the protective camouflage of a British-sounding name— “Tony Cliff” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Cliff].
🚨BREAKING NEWS: Labour Government Health Minister Andrew Gwynne has been sacked for saying he hopes pensioners who don't vote Labour DIE before the next election.
Quite a few MPs need to be put up against a [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. As in all repressive societies, readers learn to read between the lines. We in the UK never had to do that in the past, not for the past 200 years, anyway.
Thus proving that about a third of the population are non-European and/or irredeemably stupid and/or outright enemies of the British people and a decent future for them.
If a third of the UK’s inhabitants were to disappear, the remaining two-thirds (if British/European) could have a decent life…
“Brutal numbers for Kemi Badenoch in the polls tonight … Net approval: MINUS 15 Brave? MINUS 2 Decisive? MINUS 2 Competent? MINUS 2 Strong leader? MINUS 9 Gets things done? MINUS 10 Stands up for Britain? MINUS 7 Likeable? MINUS 10 Trustworthy? MINUS 13 Says what ppl think? MINUS 17 Looks like a PM? MINUS 22 In touch with ppl? MINUS 19 Shares my views? MINUS 19.”
Carpetbagger Kemi should scuttle back to the USA or Nigeria.
Acc. to my use of Electoral Calculus, that would translate into Labour 300 seats, Cons 119, Reform 113, LibDems 71 (Greens 4, SNP 12 etc). So a Labour minority government propped up by SNP/LibDem/PC votes.
Still, with such a split, a point or two can make all the difference. One point less for Labour, one point more for Reform, and the picture looks very different: Lab 260, Reform 157, Cons 109, LibDems 71. The result would be a weaker Lab minority govt. even more reliant on LibDem (etc) support. Also, Reform rather than Cons as official Opposition.
Only 22% of Brits say they approve of Keir Starmer. Look at this chart
“Only 22% of Brits say they approve of Keir Starmer. Look at this chart. Opinium tonight.”
22%. About the same proportion of all eligible voters that voted Labour last year: in rough terms, 4 out of every 20 eligible to vote. (Cons 3 out of 20, Reform 2 out of every 20, LibDems 2 out of 20, Greens 1 out of 20; “non-voting”—8 out of every 20).
True enough, but the main attack on free speech in the UK comes from the Jewish or Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, and I never hear Matt Goodwin or Farage (etc) saying anything about that.
At what point does the encroaching slow-motion dictatorship programme become impossible to counter by merely “peaceful” means?

Maria Zakharova ridiculed British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy's claim that "the British-Ukrainian partnership goes back thousands of years."

“Maria Zakharova ridiculed British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy’s claim that “the British-Ukrainian partnership goes back thousands of years.” ” The roots of this friendship go back to the foot of the Egyptian pyramids? Why so little? They even hunted brontosauruses together ,” Zakharova joked.
During a visit to Kiev, David Lemmy stated that “Kiev princesses were marrying British princes” a thousand years ago.”
Lammy personifies the old Russian proverb, “an ape in a silk suit is still an ape“…(incidentally, that proverb was not originally meant to reference blacks, because there were none in Russia until the 20thC and even today they are few; it was basically metaphorical).
Here is “diversity-hire”, thick-as-two-short-planks, Lammy making a fool of himself once again, this time on Celebrity Mastermind:
Ha ha! Evergreen…
Incidentally, Ukraine only became a nominally independent state in 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Its entire previous history was as part of the Russian state or its predecessor, Rus, though parts of Western Ukraine were within the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries.
Lammy is a total embarrassment as Foreign Secretary, but Starmer cannot easily sack him, having appointed him. Why? Because he is black. Simply that.
“The NHS has advertised almost a dozen ‘woke‘ jobs within the last few weeks, including one equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) role paying almost £123,000, MailOnline can reveal.
The recruitment drive comes days after Health Secretary Wes Streeting warned diversity and inclusion in the NHS has gone too far with some staff now promoting ‘anti-whiteness’ within the health service.
The Associate Dean with responsibility for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion role, advertised by NHS England, is based in the South West and comes with a salary of £122,470.
The salary is equivalent to the entry-level pay of up to three NHS doctors or four nurses.
According to the job description, the successful candidate can work from home 60 per cent of the time and will be responsible for ensuring medical students from different backgrounds have equal opportunities.”
[Daily Mail]
Wrong in every way. In any case, white English/British staff should have greater opportunities, because they are part of the UK’s proper folk-community.
“An asylum seeker from Pakistan has been awarded almost £100,000 after complaining that she was ‘treated like a criminal’ when she overstayed in the UK.
Nadra Almas fought a legal battle against the Home Office to remain in the UK, stating that she would face persecution if she was forced to return home on religious grounds.“
[Daily Mail]
British people find it hard to access peanuts-level State benefits, but a foreign migrant-invader, who entered this country on a fraudulent basis, is given £100,000! She should not even be here! You really could not make up what is happening in this country.
Incidentally, look at the readers’ comments on that Daily Mail report. It is only a thousand or more years of slow accretion of patience, and belief in a society under law, that is preventing a socio-political explosion in the UK (so far).

If you go into a shop in, say, Egypt, a small shop that in the UK (if owned by real British people) would probably have one or two people, maybe three at most, but probably one or two, working there, you will find that the owner has half a dozen people working there, probably related to him in some way. Open long hours, perhaps, and the people there doing little individually. Paid peanuts, of course. Likewise, offices.
I understand that India and other such poor countries are similar.
Non-crime “hate” incidents are, ipso facto, not crimes. If the police continue to be incapable of doing their proper job, and if they continue to behave like a blundering, hopeless, poundshop KGB, snooping on people’s opinions, tweets, blogs etc, they deserve to be, when the UK has a real government, dismissed and put to work as forced labour.
On those figures, the House of Commons might look like this: Reform UK 256, Labour 217, LibDems 78, Conservatives 43, Greens 6 (SNP 19 etc).
That would mean either a weak minority Reform government, or an exceptionally-weak Labour minority government backed by LibDems, SNP and other minor parties.
Arguably the most interesting aspect of the latest polling is the apparent continuing collapse of the Conservative Party (predicted, of course, on this blog). Not only 4th placed, after the LibDems in 3rd, but with little better than half as many MPs as the LibDems.
I read today that CCHQ may be unable to pay the rent on its office building. I would not be surprised to see quite a few Con Party MPs now jump to Reform in the hope of being accepted as candidates for the seats they currently occupy as “Conservatives”. I wonder how many will be deemed acceptable. If they delay too long crossing the line, they may not be accepted.
I was interested to read that article on the Conservative Home website. The comments were 95% or more pro-Reform and anti-Con Party.
“Blimey. Simon Myerson KC chattin’ about other barristers apologising and showing a lack of judgement. A judge decided Myerson engaged in “disgraceful abuse” of me and I’m still waiting for Myerson’s apology. It’s all covered in my next S-stack post out tomorrow. Link in bio.”
[James Wilson]
You will get no “apology” from Myerson. “They” always like to extract “apologies” from their enemies or opponents; they see that as victory (and humiliation for those “apologizing”).
Their instincts are, of course, not those of the European.
As Corbyn noted, years ago, “they” also usually lack a sense of irony, likewise the ability to see themselves.
Myerson was sacked as a p/t judge (“Recorder”) last year for his inability to stop savagely insulting others online. In short, he was found to lack the proper judgment required of those who aspire to sit on the Bench.

Saw two silly twits on Sky News earlier, being interviewed separately. The first was someone called General Shirreff (retired) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Shirreff], who thinks that war with Russia is all but inevitable, that the UK should double or triple the amount it spends on armed services in all ways, and that it is essential for the UK to back up “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev).
I find it disturbing that an officer previously at such a high rank and with such heavy responsibilities until retirement should actually think that Britain should embroil itself even further in the brutal, shambolic, and corrupt Kiev-regime war, and try to confront Russia in Eastern Europe.
Come to that, the UK should also have steered clear of a number of other late-19thC and early 20thC conflicts: the Balkan war(s) of the 1990s, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Libyan uprising.
President Kennedy said, of General Curtis LeMay [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_LeMay], that, in a war requiring an all-out attack, you would want LeMay commanding the first wave of the bomber force, but that he was the last person who should decide whether there should be a war at all. Having heard General Shirreff’s attempt at geopolitical argument, I rather think that that is also my view of General Shirreff.
Any war with Russia would leave what is left of this country, and worth defending, in ruins. Irradiated ruins, over which those of us who survive will crawl in misery. Nein danke!
The said Chalk, who lost his Commons seat in 2024, was briefly Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice under Sunak. My thoughts about him, having now heard him (I was only peripherally aware of his existence, previously) relate more to his ideas about how to fund the justice system than to his actual decisions when in high office. He wants even more cuts to the “welfare” (social security) budget, and for that money to be directed to the courts, legal professions, prisons etc. A rehash of 2010-2015 “austerity” nonsense, in short, but with money given to the legal and justice system (and defence). He seemed a smug bastard, rather full of himself. Again, nein danke!
There comes a point when many people wonder whether we still have much worth “defending”. In fact, I think that many have already reached such a conclusion, which is why recruitment to the armed forces has become a thorny issue. I saw an ad for the Army today, showing an entirely black platoon in the field. Has the Army given up trying to recruit real British people?

Jew-Zionists often make false and malicious complaints of “racial harassment”. Several have done the same to me over the years, the latest (of which I am aware, at least) having been made by Stephen Silverman, self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement at the tiny but (((well-funded))) fake charity, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which complaint to police about me amounted to an attempt to pervert the course of justice. I have no idea why the police let Silverman and the “CAA” get away with stunts like that. He/Gideon Falter/”CAA” have been doing it for 10+ years, not only against me but also against many others (on various legal bases)— David Icke, Al-Jazeera TV, and many many other people and organizations
That faked complaint against me, on the entirely false basis of “racial harassment”, was back in 2021. The false complaint failed, as did all the others, but was then quite wrongfully twisted into a complaint against me on a different legal basis, which eventually led to my free speech trial of 2023. See below:
I hope that P.C. Plod and the “Clown” Prosecution Service are now, even if belatedly, aware of the malicious and troublemaking character of Silverman and his “CAA” pressure group.
In the circumstances, all those convicted of “rioting”, forceful protesting, pushing against police riot shields etc etc and imprisoned should be released on licence forthwith, at the very least.

“I can’t get my head around this… Labour promised to clean up politics—then took loads of dodgy freebies, handed jobs to their mates, and approved contracts for major donors. They said their top priority was growth—now they’re tanking the economy. They vowed not to raise taxes—then hit us with £40bn in tax hikes, and there’s more to come. They said they would freeze energy bills—now energy bills are rising. They said they’d stop the boats—then scrapped our only deterrent and introduced more pull factors. They said they’d look after farmers—then tax them out of existence. They claimed they’d keep us safe and be tough on crime—then released dangerous criminals from our prisons instead of deporting foreign offenders. They claimed there was a £22bn black hole and ‘difficult decisions’ were needed—then increased spending by £70bn, spent billions on foreign aid, and billions more on illegal immigrants. They said they would respect Brexit—now they want to align us closer to the EU. They said, ‘honesty is the cornerstone of the Labour Party’—then lied about Southport and everything else on this list… and more. I could go on… This Labour gov’t is the most incompetent, heartless, anti-British, hypocritical, and dishonest in history. We need a general election. NOW!“

The reason I disagree with that (leaving aside the extra point that I never use the old and outdated “right/left” stuff) is because the original tweet fixates on the fact that FPTP voting “punishes division“. What is important is what is happening beyond the crumbling walls of the Westminster monkeyhouse.
At the 2024 General Election, over 40% of the eligible voters did not vote, many no doubt out of disgust with the whole system and the System parties.
Out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote. Only 4 out of every 20 voted for fake Labour, and probably half of those did so because a “Conservative” candidate was the only apparent alternative.
Labour’s incompetent and freeloading ministers, and its Labour Friends of Israel leading cabal, may think they are sitting pretty on their very large Commons majority but, outside the walls of Parliament itself today, 100,000 protesters were demanding the release of “Tommy Robinson”.
Robinson is “controlled opposition”, of course. So be it.
The rise of Reform UK (despite Farage’s unreliable history etc) shows anger at the way Britain is going. For Labour, and Westminster Bubble drones, to look only at numbers of seats and at the way FPTP voting distorts public opinion, is very short-sighted.
At present, it seems that, yes, Labour may be the largest party in the Commons after the next general election, but even if Reform UK fails to dislodge Labour from that position, it may well come second and thus become the Opposition. That would in itself destroy the basic structure that has been in place for over a century.
The likelihood at present (with the Con Party still embedded in some parts of the country, as are the LibDems, and both likely to get 50-100 seats next time) is a hung Parliament and thus a weak Labour minority government, though if Reform does really well, the outcome could be a fairly weak Reform government, backed up by the surviving Con MPs.
Outside the supposedly-hallowed walls of the Palace of Westminster, though, the English/British people are murmuring. The Tommy Robinson protest, the summer 2024 protests, the now-constant stream of trials of social-national people who have said or done the (politically) “wrong” things (and then been entrapped by System police, MI5, the “Clown” Prosecution Service, and the System judges) speak to underlying discontent.
Reform UK, Tommy Robinson etc, are merely part of the journey, not the destination.
There may come a time, not so far down the line, when what happens in and around Parliament becomes only the outcome of what happens outside Parliament.
As to Goodwin’s comment above, I agree, but I also tend to agree (sort-of) with Lenin: “A revolution without firing squads is not worth much.”
“The Queen would never have allowed this to happen“…What universe does that tweeter, “@Lotus 17”, live in? The late Queen died only 3 years ago…Does that tweeter really think that the decline of the UK has only happened since 2022? Try (at least) 1989.
Woodrow Wyatt, in his diaries [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wyatt#The_Journals], expressed the view that, inter alia, the Royal Family did not care whether Britain descended into poverty and general decline, because they, the “royals” would still be sitting pretty atop of it all, and insulated from the badness with which almost everyone else would be contending.
When I read Wyatt’s diaries, 25+ years ago, I thought that his point about the “royals” was arguable but maybe too harsh. Now I agree completely. Look at Charles, desperately trying —and failing— to fill his late mother’s boots. Look at tame thick princeling William, no doubt at least, or somewhat, well-meaning, so be it. Look at even thicker princeling, Harry, “the Harry formerly known as Prince”, not forgetting Meghan Mulatta. All of them signed up to the crazed “multikulti society”, all willing to pay lip-service to “holocaust” propaganda etc.
As I said they would, Labour is now loosening not strengthening Britain's borders by removing barriers to illegal migrants becoming citizens and no longer requiring scientific age checks

Well, not a good week. I scored only 4/10, but still just beat political journalist John Rentoul, who got a mere 3/10. I knew only the answers to questions 4, 5, 8, and 9. I might also have guessed question 7 but, out of the two or three most likely battles, guessed the wrong one.
JFK rejected Operation Northwoods when it came across his desk and was shot.
A conspiracy theory surrounding JFK’s assassination claims he was killed by Israel which allegedly controls the US ‘Deep State.’
Now, President Donald Trump has promised to release all classified documents relating to JFK’s assassination, which could potentially lead to more shocking revelations about the US government’s activities during the 1960s.“

“Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations”— latest
“The number of firms on the brink of collapse has surged under Labour.
Rachel Reeves was last night warned that her tax-raising Budget threatens to push many over the edge following an unprecedented 50 per cent rise in businesses in ‘critical financial distress’.
Separate figures yesterday showed private-sector jobs falling in January at the fastest pace since 2009 – excluding the pandemic – in another blow for the beleaguered Chancellor.“
That refers to the case, and the aftermath of the case, of Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased) and Cantor, in which it seems that self-promoting Jew-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis gave advice, and committed acts, both negligent and dishonest (and not for the first time, by any means).
Wes Streeting, and his fellow Labour Friends of Israel members in Starmer’s hapless hopeless Government, are just empty vessels, making much noise. Even their noise, though, strikes me as being of the past, a tired rehash of Blair-Brown-ism mixed with rather a lot of Cameron-Levita/Osborne pseudo-“austerity” nonsense.
Starmer-Labour has nothing at all to offer the British people (as I predicted a year ago).
They are still, also, pushing the obviously false, untrue, mantra, “Diversity is our strength“, which only the very dim and/or totally deluded still believe.

According to Electoral Calculus, that would mean about 303 Labour seats, 138 Reform UK, 91 Con, 71 LibDem. So probably a Lab minority government with LibDem support, but possibly a Labour minority govt. with support from SNP and other minor parties. Labour would have to get a dozen or two dozen votes from somewhere.
Reform UK would be the official Opposition either way, on those figures.
Half neither approve nor disapprove of the “diversity hire” “Conservative” leader, it seems. I suspect that many have never heard of her.

“Major political mistakes, banal corruption and simply poor analysis of the situation – ignorance of history and misunderstanding of the nature of ‘Ukrainism’ – played their role ,” Medvedev said.
– “Biden did the worst at one point, essentially starting a war between the collective West and Russia, which almost turned into a nuclear conflict with NATO.”
” Recently, he clearly did not fully understand what was happening. Yes, we must admit, such a war is economically beneficial for the United States. But the political costs and the real danger of a fatal conflict are much greater. But the old man was not ready for this. This is a case when the head of the world’s largest power completely failed to cope with the situation . As a result, the Democrats unfortunately lost the elections. If Biden’s problem is his inadequacy, then the fault of his administration is that it deliberately left a very difficult crisis legacy on the Russian track for its successors. The harmful side effects of Biden’s decisions will continue to manifest themselves for a very long time , “Medvedev wrote on Telegram.
– “That is why it will take decades for Russian-American relations to fully normalize. Although, in my opinion, in the current reality this is impossible in principle. And frankly, it is not clear whether it is necessary at all,” Medvedev concluded.”
Over the last 24 hours we've had reports of No.10 unhappiness with the Liz Kendall, Bridget Phillipson and Yvette Cooper. As I've been writing, there are growing tensions between Keir Starmer and his cabinet. Which is ominous this early into the government's tenure.

As can seen from the above accounts, those seeking to “put the manacles” on me were/are all Jew-Zionist fanatics, all connected with either the dishonest “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”) cabal, or “UK Lawyers for Israel” (UKLFI), the memberships and/or support cadres of which overlap to some degree.

“She was elected to Parliament 7 years before him. She was (inexplicably) a Cabinet Minister now (inexplicably) LOTO. This crap needs to stop – not least because it looks so weak and the greybeards said she’s Boudica. A disgrace a fringe party with 5 MPs is currently out-performing the out-going government party.”
As Fiona Syms (ex-wife of an ex-MP) knows well enough, Reform UK is not really a “fringe party”. It has only 5 MPs because the electoral system in this country is both grotesquely unfair and grotesquely illogical.
At GE 2024 (and in rough terms), out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.
If Reform UK is “a fringe party“, then so is not only the Green Party, but also the LibDems (who got 500,000 fewer votes than Reform UK), and indeed the Conservatives, who received only slightly more than 1.5x the votes cast for Reform UK. Even Labour only received just over 2.3x the Reform UK vote.
In actual numbers: Labour 9,708,716; Conservatives 6,828,925; Reform UK 4,117,620; LibDems 3,519,143; Green Party 1,841,888.
If the people keep being ignored, they will eventually turn on the System parties.
I agree with Fiona Syms, though, re. how hopeless Kemi Badenoch is. Well, there you go. If you put people in positions because they are “diversity hires”, they will almost invariably be a waste of space. Look at Lammy…

“Ukraine and Great Britain sign 100-year partnership agreement British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, during a visit to Kiev, also announced the transfer of a new air defense system to Ukraine, Reuters reports.
“We have agreed that Britain will transfer at least $3.6 billion in military aid to us annually.
Today is a truly historic day, our relations are closer than ever ,” said Volodymyr Zelensky after signing the agreement.
Starmer said he would provide Ukraine with the necessary support “to put it in the strongest position to fight Russia in 2025.”
Starmer and his “elected” dictatorship have just stolen £2 billion a year from British pensioners, and are going, in effect, to send it to the Jewish dictator of “Ukraine”, in order to bolster his shambolic, brutal, and crumbling regime.
Starmer may be called Prime Minister of the UK, but is really just a New World Order and Zionist Occupation Government puppet.
Having said that, the “100-year Agreement” will probably last no longer than the “1,000-year Reich”…
More pertinently, she realizes that, because the Conservative Party is on the way out, her chance of becoming Prime Minister, or indeed any kind of government minister, is vanishingly-small now.
Having said that, Suella Braverman is not particularly intelligent and, as far as I know, had a fairly mediocre Bar practice, so she might be better off trying to remain an MP— but for which party, Con or Reform?
If Suella Braverman defects to Reform and is their candidate next time at Fareham, she has a good chance of staying as MP. In 2024, she got a vote-share of 35% but Reform still did fairly well in 4th place (on 18%). She is known as having very similar views to Reform. She might well get 40% or more, maybe 50%, as a Reform UK candidate in that seat. As a Conservative Party candidate, her vote might decline to a level where Reform, or even the LibDems or Labour might succeed.
All the same, if she does defect, she would face three other serious candidates at the next election. Any one of them might win. I cannot see her standing down voluntarily from Parliament, though.

Maybe that kind of incursion is a possible way for Russian forces to deliver the coup de grace to the Kiev regime, a huge, swift devastating attack on the head of the serpent— Kiev itself. Had that been done in 2022, huge damage and misery could have been avoided.
“Reform UK is now only a single percentage point behind Labour – putting their leader Nigel Farage within touching distance of Number 10 at the next election.
New polling data from YouGov, commissioned by Sky News, puts Reform on 24 per cent and Labour on 25 per cent – down a whopping 9 percentage points from their winning vote share at the 2024 UK election.
With the Conservatives on 22 per cent, the UK electorate may be about to usher in a new epoch of three-way party politics.
The new research puts Labour on 26 per cent, Reform UK on 25 per cent, the Torieson 22 per cent, the Lib Dems on 14 per cent and the Greens on 8 per cent.
In general the assessment of Sir Keir’s first six months in office is damning, with only 10 per cent of voters judging that he has been successful and an overwhelming majortity (60 per cent) saying he has been unsuccessful.
Labour insiders are also worried at how the party is hemorrhaging voters to other parties across the political spectrum.
The new data found that they have retained only 54 per cent of supporters from the general election – while 7 percent have defected to the Lib Dems, 6 per cent to the Green Party, 5 per cent to Reform UK and 4 per cent to the Tories.
Meanwhile almost a quarter of those who voted Labour in the polls (23 per cent) either did not say, weren’t sure or had decided not to vote at all.
Labour also faces a problem with elderly voters in light of policies like the removal of the winter fuel allowance, with only 14 per cent of OAPs now saying they would cast their vote for Labour – down eight percentage points from the election.“
Naturally, Reform UK is not very close to me, ideologically. Pro Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, and (relatively) anti-welfare state; pro-finance capitalism.
Still, Reform UK has its uses. To move the “Overton Window”, particularly on issues of immigration, migration-invasion, free speech etc. Above all, to break up the LibLabCon “three main parties” scam which has been in place during my lifetime.
It may well be that all party politics will crumble to dust by reason of some existential catastrophe in the world, such as nuclear war, but that is another matter, arguably.
According to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], the figures given, if replicated at a general election, might result in a House of Commons with Labour holding 287 seats, Conservative Party 128, Reform UK 107, LibDems 77, Green Party 4. That would indicate a Lab-LibDem coalition, or some lesser concordat, Labour being about 37 short of an overall majority on those figures.

When I was about 21-y-o, I wanted to get rid of hundreds of unwanted books, mostly paperback novels (spy stories and crime thrillers etc). I gave them to the Royal Marsden because I was then living at Reigate Hill in Surrey, only about 8 or 9 miles away from the hospital’s site at Sutton (though the distance seems more because the two areas are so different). I dropped them off at the hospital reception. I hope they at least passed the time for some of the in-patients. I suppose that must have been 1977 or 1978.
It looks, though, as if the lady tweeter noted attends not the Sutton site of the hospital but rather its other and older location, in Kensington (which would make more sense, because she lives not far from my old shooting club, the Kensington Rifle and Pistol Club, now all but defunct and no longer —since the 1990s, if not earlier—in West Kensington). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Marsden_Hospital.

I say I might have an offer you like and care passionately about fixing social care. And the rest. I also think doctors would run the NHS better, pen-pushers and deadbeat hospital CEOs, often from industry or politics, should be blocked off.“
All right. Some good points, but was she saying all that when she was married to a Conservative MP and Whip (until a decade ago)? I do not know, but I doubt it. She was (and still is? I wonder…) a passionate supporter of the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and George (Gideon) Osborne, whose government of nasty nonsense, 2010-2015, imposed so-called “austerity” (for the poor) and spending cuts which permanently crippled this country in every way.
As for “food banks”, they scarcely existed until 2010. Only on a tiny scale, anyway. Another result of “Conservative” Party policies 2010-2015.
The Fiona Syms tweeter should think about why the Conservative Party presently stands at 22% in the opinion polls, 2 points lower than at GE 2024, despite the evident hopeless incompetence and unpleasantness of the “Labour” government of “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer and his little Labour Friends of Israel cabal.
People have not forgotten the 14 years of truly bad “Conservative” government 2010-2024, finishing off with the government of the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak; and now the “Conservatives” are “led” by a political joke (again), a Nigerian woman who only came to the UK at age 16, albeit that she spent a day or two here after her birth (in London).
Having said that, it is clear that Labour (too) is finished. After a week or two of Starmer-Labour misgovernment, I blogged as much, at which time the msm were sycophantically applauding Starmer (some stupid woman scribbler in, I think, the Guardian, even said that she found herself attracted to Starmer sexually!— Well, Henry Kissinger did say that “power is the ultimate aphrodisiac“…).
What stands out there for me is how only among those 65+ years of age is voting Conservative anywhere near the level required to ground a Conservative Party government. 35%. Not very impressive anyway, but dropping to only 25% among those 50-64 y o, and to only 16% among those aged 25-49 before almost disappearing among those aged 18-24.
It might be argued that those aged below 65 y o might well change their views when they age further (just as it was said by Soviet anti-Christian propagandists in the pre-1989 period that “only old women now attend Russian Orthodox churches“, but that was countered by those who noted that there seemed always to be another generation of old women at church…).
Yes, those now aged below 65 may well be more inclined to vote Conservative when they reach 65+, but in my opinion the numbers will never be higher, or even as high, as they now are.
If the percentage of those 65+ voting Conservative is now 35% or so, by 2029 that might easily decline to 30%, and lower thereafter. The same slide might also be seen, and probably will be seen, lower down the age scale. If the present 18-24 y o generation only vote Conservative Party at around 5%, that will almost certainly increase, but maybe only slightly, over the years to come. To what extent is hard to pinpoint, but maybe by only about 5 points in each coming generation, so at age 65+ maybe to about 20%.
Admittedly speculative.
That is assuming that the present voting and political system will still be here in 2060, 2040, or even 2030. Or the present world as we know it…

“A law student is suing Cambridge University for discrimination after he failed his PhD and delayed his career working as a barrister.
Jacob Meagher is seeking ‘substantial damages’ from the world famous institution, alleging he was the subject of disability discrimination and victimisation following the failure of his law PhD.
Mr Meagher also claimed that his oral ‘viva voce’ interview, where he was questioned about his thesis by two examiners, caused ‘significant damage’ to his health.
He ended up failing the examination, meaning he missed out on a opportunity to take up a tenancy at a ‘particular set of chambers’ and therefore ‘suffered a substantial loss of anticipated earnings’.
Outlining the claim, the judge said: ‘Mr Meagher…is a student at the University of Cambridge…undertaking a PhD in law.
‘[He] did not successfully pass his final viva voce examination of his doctoral thesis.
Court documents also stated that the University’s Disability Resource Centre had recommended that at the viva, examiners follow a set of guidelines, produced as part of a Student Support Document (SSD), to help him.
These included asking specific rather than general questions, using the active, rather than the passive, voice and allowing him pauses and breaks after questions…to allow him to ‘mentally retrieve the words or information that he needed in order to answer’.“
[Daily Mail]
How on Earth does that litigant think he is going to survive at the Bar (unless he does no court work at all) if he cannot endure being verbally challenged, and needs time “to mentally retrieve the words or information that he [needs] in order to answer“?
You need a thick skin at the Bar. I should know. I was a practising barrister, in court almost daily, from 1993-1996 in London (often at the High Court, as well as in County Courts and both “the mags” and, less often, Crown Courts), and during 2002-2008 based in Exeter (though travelling widely across the UK and beyond).
Being put on the spot by a judge, especially a High Court judge (I was never at the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court), can be a chastening experience even if the judge is (as most High Court judges are) reasonably courteous.
Woe betide the barrister who is unprepared, or whose instructing solicitors have fallen down on their job. I usually managed to put up a good show, or at least a good front, but I have seen other barristers fall silent, unable to say a word, or flounder helplessly; even, in one case (in Camberwell Magistrates’ Court, before a particularly severe Stipendiary Magistrate —the people called District Judges now—) actually whimper and almost burst into tears (it was a man, too…).
At one time, a barrister who was disabled, even physically, was at a huge disadvantage in trying to get into any chambers. Now, it is arguable that things have gone to the other extreme.
When I was in provincial chambers in Exeter, from 2002-2008 , there was a girl Bar pupil from Northern Ireland. She seemed pleasant and was afterwards offered a tenancy (after which she became markedly less pleasant). The point, though, was that she had a bad speech impediment. In my opinion, the Northern Irish accent is hard enough to understand, let alone when the speaker has a speech impediment. She did get some criminal and family work, though; low-level stuff.
In the end, that Northern Irish person gave up the Bar entirely (I was told) and returned to her native Ulster. At least there they were, presumably, able to understand what she said.

What a ridiculous monkeyhouse Westminster is! Look at thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves (“Rachel from Accounts”) etc, all making noise, exchanging remarks, and laughing like badly-behaved schoolchildren. Then there is stupid Liz Kendall, sitting there like a nodding dog, and about as credible.
Instead of sending people who question mass immigration to live in the Middle East, why not send pro-immigration middle-class zealots to live for one whole month in Harehills, Ealing, Barking & Dagenham, Leicester, or Tower Hamlets pic.twitter.com/ENxHoK8wSS
The mainstream media milieu is a cesspit. I was just reading about some person whose name, though I had seen it somewhere, in the back of my mind, conveyed little to me. A few years younger than me (I am now 68), he has died, and even years ago was looking at least a decade or more older than me, looking at photos in the newspapers. In fact, make that 20+ years older.
Apparently, that person had, at one time, in the 1990s, been spending £4,000 a week on cocaine, and drinking 4-5 bottles of vodka every day!
You could double or treble that sum to get the same value in the money of 2025.
That tells me that such System-approved msm types are both hugely over-remunerated and totally decadent. Britain needs a thoroughgoing cultural purge even more than it needs a political purge. Hitler-level. Stalin-level. Biblical-level.
A few days ago, an American commentator tweeted:
“I don’t think the normies are getting this yet.
In the UK, the birthplace of Magna Carta, English Common Law, and the cradle nation of the USA …
In the latest effort to deny reality, the Leftist German word police have announced that a standard term for ethnic German is "racist and antidemocratic". Can we no longer even acknowledge our existence, asks Eugyppius. https://t.co/CWPNmB92cu
Well, there it is. Switzerland has officially lost its senses.
Didn’t Rudolf Steiner say something about how the Goetheanum (near Basel) would be devastated by war? Cannot quite remember. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goetheanum.
