Perhaps Liz Truss should strap the mummified carcass of Madame Thatcher to a tank, and send it out to vanquish the enemy, as was done with El Cid on his horse at the end of the eponymous film!

Those tweets are still behind the curve. There will probably be no need for outright compulsion. It will just be made increasingly hard to live on anything beyond a down-and-out level without the “digital passport”, which will before too long be in the form of an implanted microchip.
Think how most people in the UK and other advanced countries now live. It is not compulsory to have personal Internet access, or debit/credit cards, or a mobile telephone. It is just that life is increasingly difficult without them.
I recall, years ago, circa 2007, asking whether I might pay for a business hotel (already booked by card) because I had a superfluity of cash at the time, and being told I could use cash, but only if I both showed ID and paid a deposit (I think £100 or £50) in cash upfront. Now? Maybe cash is not even accepted; I rarely, practically never, stay in hotels these days (15 years ago, I probably spent about half of the month in hotels).
That is how the microchipped population will be created, not by force but by guile, and because convenience will trump freedom.

For decades, Israel denied the massacre at Tantura in 1948. Now, the soldiers who committed the heinous acts of ethnic cleansing are confirming what Palestinians have said all along: villagers were systematically slaughtered. https://t.co/haAO36N360

Through oral history recordings and well-presented research, TANTURA lays out how atrocities were committed by Israeli forces during the founding of the state in 1948. Long suppressed, this is a difficult and vital record that challenges Israel’s founding myth about itself. 4.5/5 pic.twitter.com/JmA7eAwyoT

Who pays for propaganda-journalism of that type? As for the ludicrous conclusion that “the UK has no intention of letting Ukraine fall“, it will take more than a few tweets by Liz Truss, a few remarks by Boris-idiot, and a few planes filled with weapons, to ensure that. How many such flights were sent to the equally-useless and corrupt Afghan government in Kabul?
I wonder whether Biden might accept any Russian offer to decide the matter by a referendum of the people of Eastern Ukraine? I suppose not, because 90% would want to separate from Ukraine and, in some way, cohere with Russia.
Putin will, in these last days, still try to “win without war”, in the words of Sun-Tzu, but as every day passes, more arms and ammo are flown into Ukraine by the USA, UK and others. That obviously makes a swift invasion, at least into Eastern Ukraine, more likely.

Almost all correct from Rory Stewart, but is he correct in saying that Britain is still “a great country”? I think not. Not now. It could be, though, that under the right ideology and the right leadership, Britain could rise again, if it changed some demographics and some habits.

When was it that the journalistic trade in London became almost entirely Jewish? I suppose sometime in the 1980s or 1990s. Certainly, looking at what was once “Fleet Street”, that trade has become so and, today, almost every newspaper scribbler, at least in the national Press, seems to be Jewish, or at least partly so.

Americans were asked to fill in a blank map of Europe.
I wonder what percentage of Americans want war with Russia over Ukraine or Eastern Ukraine? Whatever the answer to that, I imagine that the figure drops towards zero if those polled are told that war with Russia means a nuclear attack near to their own homes.
One notices that, on UK Twitter, many of the fanatical Jew-Zionists, who have been harassing non-Jews (and even some anti-Zionist Jews) for years, either have pseudonymous “sock accounts”, or hide full-time behind pseudonyms. Some have been exposed, some not (as yet). Time to go en ratissage, to see if others can be uncovered.
Not mentioned in that Times of Israel report is the fact that the fugitive Jew(s) (how many of them are there?) also targeted brave and now-deceased “revisionist” historian (surely most good historians are revisionist?), Robert Faurisson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Faurisson], in poor health at the time. Well, you would not expect decent behaviour from “them”, would you? In that respect, “they” never disappoint.

Rachel Reeves is glad 200,000 members have left the Labour Party because they don't share her values.
— Frank Owen's Legendary Paintbrush🥀🇵🇸🇱🇧🇾🇪 (@OwenPaintbrush) January 20, 2022
Rachel Reeves, MP, Shadow Cabinet minister under Keir Starmer, and (of course) a member of Labour Friends of Israel (like the rest of the Shadow Cabinet). I have as yet been unable to discover whether she is part-Jewish or not; my instinct is that she is, but I have as yet no direct evidence of the fact, if it is a fact.
There is a ~33-year cycle, as I have blogged on previous occasions: 1923, 1956, 1989, 2022.
The New World Order was proclaimed openly by President Bush snr. in early 1990. Socialism collapsed worldwide from the 1989 pivot-year, symbolized of course by the literal collapse of the Berlin Wall. South Africa was destroyed as a white European country in Africa, destroyed from within. The UK Labour Party removed “Clause Four” (nationalization etc) from its Constitution in the early 1990s. The USA started its campaign of attacking Iraq, in order to remove the anti-Israel states in general; since then, we have seen Iraq, Syria, Libya and Lebanon effectively neutralized, and Egypt controlled from a distance by bribery and infiltration. A few examples…
The post-1989 effect ripples on, as do the effects from 1956 etc. A new impetus is now brought in, which can be summarized as putting into effect, as far as possible, the “White Genocide” implicit in the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, meaning the destruction of white Europe, and its replacement by a mixed race population, ruled over and/or influenced by (brainwashed by) Jews and part-Jews. That, and the microchipping of the population of the Earth, starting with the advanced countries.
That silly woman, “@furnessgirl”, used to attack me on Twitter before the Jew-Zionist lobby had me expelled. Typical of much of the self-describing “Left” (a meaningless descriptor) on Twitter. Seems to be, like so many of them, fairly comfortably-off, and lives far away from the multikulti urban hellholes which she thinks should be “enriched” by more mass immigration; and so on.
What a surprise— not only a Remain whiner but, as we see so many times, yet another one totally brainwashed by the “panicdemic” propaganda.
How typical of the “@furnessgirl” type to dismiss a man such as Henry Williamson with the dismissive or “cancelling” (?) “…a fascist“. Someone who loved animals and wanted to protect them; someone who wanted to avoid a second disastrous 20thC war in Europe (he fought in the first one); someone who saw the good National Socialism had brought to Germany.
As I said, a silly woman, who thinks that she is very clever.
In fairness to her, though, I do agree with her tweet below:
One of the things that infuriate me is that you can be almost certain that, if a British schoolteacher or trainee schoolteacher appears on a TV quiz show, he/she/it will be frighteningly ignorant.
It is hardly surprising that children in the UK so often come out of up to 13 years of full-time primary and secondary education almost devoid of any real knowledge at all, when those who have taught them are themselves often unbelievably ignorant.
I think that a very great deal of the huge amount of money (£99 Billion p.a. at present, 4.5% of national income) which the UK state spends on “education” (as it fondly supposes), is just wasted. https://ifs.org.uk/publications/15858.
[Update, 19 January 2023: “@FurnessGirl” was finally expelled from Twitter for her ignorant trolling, but has returned under cover of “@ScouseLakes”].

In the late 1930s, Britain and France started to offer worthless guarantees to states in Central and Eastern Europe. When Poland called in the chit, in September 1939, and despite the fact that both Britain and France did declare war on the German Reich because of the invasion of Poland by the German Reich, the chit or guarantee was worth nothing.
Poland was still invaded (indeed also invaded from the East, by Soviet forces). No French or British forces fought (or ever could have fought) in or for Poland. As for the Soviet Union, Britain and France did even less to stop its 1939 invasion of Poland; even the words were muted.
Now we see the UK, which has virtually no useful armed forces anyway, alternately threatening Russia (over Ukraine, which was part of the Muscovite state for well over a thousand years, and has had less than 30 recent years of chaotic and corrupt “independence”), and then back-pedalling. The less Liz Truss says, the less foolish she will seem.
Take the hint, part 94. Lavrov on Jan 17th: "Our patience has been exhausted. We are very patient. You know what they say about how long Russians take to harness their horses? We harness them slowly but then it’s time to ride." https://t.co/xaxG805Vtn
When push comes to shove, what then? The USA has been pumping weapons and money into the Kiev regime’s reserves. Let’s say that Russia annexes Eastern Ukraine, where the population are heavily pro-Russian. The shambolic army and militias of the Kiev regime will be defeated. Will the USA declare then war on Russia? I very much doubt that. Obviously, the same applies to the UK. That is not even a question.
Having said that, even if the Russian leaders would prefer to achieve victory without having to fight, there is no doubt that they will fight if they have to. That applies particularly knowing, as they do, that the opposing forces are unable to resist for long, and that the USA will not want to get involved directly.
Russia would prefer to have a referendum in Eastern Ukraine (only) on whether that region should reintegrate with Russia. Such a referendum would result in a —genuinely— 95%+ vote in favour. Somewhat similar to what happened in Crimea.
The Kiev government would never accept such a referendum. It stands by its view on “territorial integrity”, but that integrity rests on a mere 29-30 years of “independence”, out of about 1,100 years. In Soviet times the Ukraine-Russia border was really just lines on a map, almost meaningless.
So there we have it. The tendentious Defence Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, Con Coughlin (very pro-Israel etc)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Con_Coughlin] scribbles that “this is only the start, if we appease Putin now“. So…what does Coughlin want Britain to do? Fire our —few— nuclear missiles on Russia?
Not very clever as a strategy, when dozens (at least) of Russian missiles would then devastate the small UK (which is only a 72nd of the area of Russia). Fight for Ukraine in Ukraine? Again, unintelligent, when the Russian armies massed near Ukraine are already twice the size of the whole British Army.
Anyway, why? Why should British soldiers fight for the Kiev regime? It is a corrupt —and very Israeli-dominated— cabal, which has little legitimacy.
If the UK helps Russia, we can open new trading links, get cheap natural gas, and forget about trying to be a poundland world policeman; that was finished half a century ago at least.
My argument regarding Russia's behavior: 1) Moscow switched from deterrence to compellence 2) The key issue is Moscow believes Kyiv will remain hostile and is increasing its defensive capabilities 3) the costs of inaction are greater than an escalationhttps://t.co/fkHT6VCJXF

As blogged previously, the next big step, either right away or over a number of years, will be the microchipping of the population. Complete centralized control over the individual.
The media hops from one fake narrative to another. We had nearly 20 years of terrorism hysteria. Brexit was several years of hype and was an obvious story about nothing. C19 is going into its third year and now they’re awkwardly ramping it down.

The statement shown [update, next day: removed…], a statement of how a young Jew was indoctrinated at a young age by his mother into having a pathological fear of “anti-Semitism”, could have been used as an example of a typical such upbringing by the defence in the last Alison Chabloz trial…
Looking at those statements, it is clear why virtually all the Soviet spies in the USA in the 1930s and 1940s were Jews. Look at the atom bomb spies. Pretty much every one was a Jew (there were a few exceptions, such as Melita Norwood, and a few others were only half or part-Jew, e.g. Klaus Fuchs): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spies#Notable_spies.
Well worth reading. Which is why I am reposting long extracts here:
“A rising tide of money and administrative power defines the rising autocracy.
As executive compensation reached the stratosphere in Big Tech and finance, small businesses face what the Harvard Business Review calls ‘an existential threat.’ Experts now warn that one third of small businesses, which comprise the majority of US companies and employ nearly half of all workers, could ultimately shut down for good. Hundreds of thousands have already disappeared, including nearly half of all black-owned businesses. Particularly damaged have been the small merchants along Main Street and those working for them, such as restaurant and hospitality workers.
Climate-change policies could nurture the new autocracy for a generation. As tech oligarchs and the financial establishment implement the Davos notion of a Great Reset, they will force a quick end to fossil fuels. There are huge opportunities for massive investment by super-rich companies and speculators in the ‘green economy,’ all made possible with tax breaks, loans and guaranteed sales to governmental units.
This promises to create a new crop of mega-billionaires like Elon Musk, today the world’s richest man. In the era of super-subsidies, a wannabe electric-vehicle maker like Rivian, which has negligible sales and consistent losses, can be valued higher than General Motors, which sells almost seven million cars and has $122 billion (£90 billion) in revenues each year. In Green Capitalism, the British Marxist James Heartfield labels this ‘austerity socialism’: reaping governmental edicts as opposed to actually producing real goods. Nice work if you can get it.
For the middle and working classes, however, the Great Reset may prove somewhat less promising — if not disastrous. For most people, notes Eric Heymann, a senior economist at Deutsche Bank Research, the rapid ‘green’ transition will mean ‘a noticeable loss of welfare and jobs.’ The conscious policy of degrowth as a means of forcibly reducing greenhouse gas emissions will require getting most people out of their cars, and forcing them to travel far less and to live in tiny apartments. Enforcement will be necessarily intrusive as well. Planners in the UK and elsewhere are pushing for family ‘carbon budgets.’ Add surveillance technology and we end up with something akin to China’s ‘social credit’ system, in which your right to free movement is subject to government approval.
The young are particularly threatened by these changes — younger people already face much harder prospects than any postwar generation. Few expect things to improve: across the higher-income countries, roughly two-thirds of people surveyed by Pew Research see a poorer future for the next generation. According to researchers at the Equality of Opportunity Project, about 90 per cent of those born in 1940 grew up to earn higher incomes than their parents. The same is true for only 50 per cent of those born in the 1980s. A recent study by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis warns that millennials are in danger of becoming a ‘lost generation’ in terms of wealth accumulation. To make matters worse, over half of all young people, in a survey of ten countries, think the world is doomed by climate change.
As housing and other costs skyrocket, class lines are hardening. Inheritance as a share of GDP in France has grown roughly threefold since 1950, with some upper-income French millennials inheriting more money than many workers make in a lifetime. The growing importance of inherited assets is even more pronounced in Germany, Britain and the United States. In the US, a country with a national mythology that looks askance at inherited wealth, the children of property-owning parents are far better situated to own a house eventually (often with parental help) and enter what is now known as ‘the funnel of privilege.’ In America, millennials are three times as likely as boomers to count on inheritance for their retirement. Among the youngest cohort, aged eighteen to twenty-two, over 60 per cent expect that inheritance will be their primary source of income as they age.
How will the downwardly mobile react to the prospect of permanent rental serfdom and, ultimately, total dependence on the state? A recent Edelman survey reveals that increasing numbers no longer trust institutions or believe hard work pays off. In a world dominated by a few institutions, today’s precariat of gig and short-contract workers, and those who have dropped out of the workforce entirely, could become an economically less useful version of Marx’s proletariat: a permanent underclass requiring aggressive, quasi-military policing.
Meanwhile, large tech firms and financial giants — even those sceptical about climate change zealotry — see the prospect of record profits and valuations in ‘disruption.’ The pandemic accelerated the white-collar shift to remote work, and the broader demand for automated solutions skyrocketed. A future less reliant on human labor elevates the tech oligarchs to the highest perch on what Lenin called ‘the commanding heights’ of the economy.
In a digitalised economy, it’s good to control the critical niches. The oligarchs do this brilliantly. They have seized dominant shares of key markets from search (Google) to social media (Facebook) to book sales (Amazon). Google and Apple together provide over 95 per cent ofoperating software for mobile devices, while Microsoft still accounts for over 80 per cent of the software that runs personal computers around the world.
We are increasingly ruled by a perfect marriage of class convenience, with more power for the clerisy and ever-greater economic opportunities for the oligarchy — all with the added benefit of encouraging them to feel good about themselves. Even as they push austerity on the masses, they live like medieval lords, indulging in lavish weddings and building estates reminiscent of the Habsburgs’. Jeff Bezos just spent $100 million (£80 million) on a Hawaiian retreat. Bill Gates’s daughter just enjoyed a $2 million (£1.5 million) wedding. John Kerry, president Biden’s chief climate scold and beneficiary of an heiress’s fortune, travels on a private jet that use thirty times the energy of the average American vehicle.
The tech oligarchs are creating something similar to what Aldous Huxley called in Brave New World Revisited a ‘scientific caste system.’ There is ‘no good reason,’ Huxley wrote in 1958, that ‘a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.’ It will condition its subjects from the womb so that they ‘grow up to love their servitude’ and ‘never dream of revolution.’ It will maintain a strict social order and provide enough diversion through drugs, sex and videos to keep their artificially narrowed minds occupied and sated.“
[Joel Kotkin, in The Spectator]
Sobering analysis.
Still, it may be that the “perfect system” the Western ruling circles and cabals strive towards will be smashed, either by natural events or by war. Not a nice prospect but something of the sort may be, also, the only way for Western society to escape from socio-political sclerosis.

The “Left”/”Right” terminology is useless. Let’s be specific: much of the censorship and “cancelling” comes from the Jew-Zionist element; the rest from the “woke”, multikulti, fake “diversity” side, but in fact much of that has been fostered by Jews as well, at least in its origins. Those two “sides” may clash on some issues (mostly Israel/Palestine) but are both drivers of intellectual repression.
Outside academia too. I have been attacked without pause by the Jew-Zionist element, and for many years, not least since this blog started just over five years ago.
Local journalism at its finest: Christian Wakeford @Christian4BuryS defects to Labour in a crushing blow to Boris Johnson as a growing chorus of Conservative MPs call on the Prime Minister to resign.
BREAKING: Christian Wakeford, Tory MP for Bury South, has defected to Labour.
Wakeford tells Boris Johnson that he and the "Conservative Party as a whole have shown themselves incapable of offering the leadership & Govt this country deserves".
Regular readers of the blog will know that I was recently blogging about all of this (in general, not this latest news), concluding that the Conservative Party probably can recover its position if it bins Johnson fairly soon. Initially, I thought that idiot would go before summer this year, but corrected myself to say spring 2022. Now? Seems that it could be any moment.
There is no constitutional imperative for a General Election to be held before late 2024 and, at the end of the day, Labour is offering nothing to the British people either, so once The Idiot is binned, the Cons may be able to recover at least to near-parity with Lab.
I saw an interesting analysis, to the effect that, even if there were a general election right now, Labour might still have a majority of a handful of seats, or even no majority.
In the end, though, both Lab and Con are two faces of the (((System))), and are under the same concealed flag.

To a large extent, Grade’s views about the BBC are wrongheaded. While I think that the time has indeed come for the BBC licence fee (tax) to go, I do not think that the BBC should simply be left to sink or swim in the commercial media world.
Grade apparently wants the BBC to get rid of BBC2 and BBC Four television, presumably to save money. To echo Margaret Thatcher, “No! No! No!” Completely wrong. BBC2 and BBC Four are the best bits of BBC TV, the bits worth keeping and, though only after reforms are executed, the bits worth subsidizing.
The obvious way to subsidize the BBC is through direct government subsidy. Critics say that that would mean the BBC becoming a government mouthpiece. Hardy ha ha. What has it been for the past ~20 years (and certainly very arguably, since the 1920s)?
We do not say that, for example, the courts cannot do their job properly and (reasonably) impartially because they are funded directly, that is from central funds.
The licence fee system is both unfair and inefficient, with large collection (and enforcement) costs. It comes down to us from the era prior to the Second World War, during that war, and immediately subsequent to it, an era when people had to have a licence to own, among other things, a radio, or a dog.
What that means to me is that both commercial and populist considerations have to take second or third place. The BBC, as or if a public service broadcaster, must have the confidence to ignore the siren voices of “is it popular?” or “is it competing with commercial mass media?“. The whole point of subsidizing the BBC is that it has no need to compete with ITV, or Sky, and no need to pander to the tastes of the uncultured.
The BBC went wrong a long long time ago. In the 1960s. The pandering to mass sports interest by coverage such as Grandstand was part of that, as was the commissioning of most BBC comedy and variety shows, and the later focus on popular dramas, and what we now term “soaps” (from the American “soap operas” sponsored by detergent companies, shows such as The Guiding Light).
Generally, it can be said that, especially during the 1970s and thereafter, there was the impetus to compete for notional “ratings” with ITV and, later —after the 1980s— Sky. Pointless and unnecessary.
My solution for the current BBC question would be to keep BBC News, BBC2 and BBC Four, though all reformed, and with a far higher cultural level on BBC2. No newsreaders (or others) getting anything over £200,000 a year in gross pay, at absolute maximum. A focus on arts, sciences, current affairs, and historical subjects.
As for radio, keep only Radio 3, Radio 4, and the BBC World Service (and return that last to its pre-1990 glory days); Radio 3 to reverse its current dumbing-down tendency, and Radio 4 to be thoroughly purged of its now-pervasive Jewish influence, suburban “wokery”, and general hostility to white Northern European life and culture.
Subsidize the above channels; get rid of, or sell off, the rest. Also, sack most of the present on-camera (and radio presenter) staff. Start with useless overpaid drones such as Gary Lineker. Lord Reith would spin in his grave to see some ignorant big-mouth of that sort paid a million a year to shoot the breeze about football (the new “opiate of the masses”).
Amusing note:
In researching for the above piece about the BBC, I happened to see something about John Logie Baird, generally considered the inventor of television (though there are also others with good claims, including Germans, Americans, Japanese and Russians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_television#Television_demonstrations). What amused me was this:
“Soon after arriving in London, looking for publicity, [John Logie] Baird visited the Daily Express newspaper to promote his invention [television]. The news editor was terrified and he was quoted by one of his staff as saying: “For God’s sake, go down to reception and get rid of a lunatic who’s down there. He says he’s got a machine for seeing by wireless! Watch him—he may have a razor on him.” [Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Logie_Baird].
True [addendum: the already-removed tweet showed Angela Rayner], but then look at the present crowd: Priti Patel, Liz Truss etc…
Come to that, look at the part-Jew, part-Levantine, chancer and bad joke presently masquerading as Prime Minister…The fact is that the whole Westminster political milieu and system is broken.
If Keir Starmer becomes Prime Minister, absolutely nothing will change, and the general decline in everything will just continue.
Savile, like others such as the Jews Greville Janner and Leon Brittan, seems to have been protected by the Jewish/Israel lobby. Savile himself as good as admitted it in a TV interview I saw not very long before his death. He said or implied that he was part-Jew (which may or may not have been true, almost certainly not), and that he had somehow helped the Israeli Embassy with confidential matters (who knows?).
Starmer, of course, is married to a Jewish woman lawyer, and their children are being brought up as if fully-Jewish. He is a member of Labour Friends of Israel.
I have no idea whether the above allegations in respect of Starmer’s role in the Savile scandal indicate that Starmer deliberately tried to protect Savile (he may have been simply incompetent, or just mistaken). Still, the matter should be investigated, if it has not already been.

Justice Secretary Dominic Raab – “it probably depends on the context”
I find it hard to believe Dominic Raab is deputy PM. He's incredibly dense, a very ordinary man who wouldn't go far in civilian life. #skynews#kayburley
Don’t blame Raab, as such. Blame the system that put him there. Blame a system that puts idiots like Michael Fabricant, Boris Johnson, Angela Rayner, Diane Abbott, Nadine Dorries, and hundreds like them, into Parliament. Not to mention the untermenschen such as Fiona Onasanya (now binned and on the dole, but others are still there).

Good grief. The BBC is so replete with “licence”-payers’ money that it pays a scarecrow-on-a-stick nearly £300,000 a year to “work” only half the week…

Drunken Churchill, in 1940, made the famous “we shall fight on the beaches” speech, in which he said:
” We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…”
…but of course could never have imagined that, 81 years on, most of the British people are more interested in football, TV talent shows, and dance competitions, than in “defending their island”.
Indeed, a significant minority of deluded persons actually welcome the invasion of Britain by hordes who, at best, will be useless, and at worst a mortal danger both to UK citizens and to the national heredity.
Ultimately, you can see what element is behind this warmongering in the USA and UK— the same “element” that was behind the two world wars. “They” play on existing tensions for strategic profit.

Midday music
Amazingly self-assured performance from such a young girl. Incidentally, “valenki” are felt boots (traditional Russian winter footwear).
Short foray
Made a foray into a small suburbanized town about 6 miles from my now-humble home. Driving along, and waiting in the car for a while, I was observing the local people. At the railway station, quite a few (what I took to be) 16-18 y-o school students waiting. Every single one was looking at, indeed absorbed in, her or his mobile device, apparently oblivious to other people, the natural world, everything. Few seemed to be typing (if that is the right word); just silently, it seemed, staring down at the device. Strange society…
The other oddity was how many of the older people in the main —in fact only— shopping street were wearing facemasks while walking along; that despite the sun and a light breeze (and the low temperature). About half. The facemask nonsense has become ingrained in the more “conditioned” or less-thinking part of the public.
“POLICE were called to Ringwood School this morning (Monday) as a small group of anti-Covid vaccination protesters forced their way onto its grounds.
The alarm was raised around 8.20am amid reports six people demonstrating against pupils being given the jab had turned up at the school in Parsonage Barn Lane. They gained entry via the reception area.
Twelve patrol cars were said to have been at the scene while officers dealt with the incident as both the Hampshire force and the school assured there was no danger to youngsters or staff.” [local newspaper report].
So no less than 12 police cars were sent to monitor a tiny and peaceful local civic protest involving only six individuals? No wonder the police are unable to deploy resources to deal with ordinary crime. Just as well that no-one made an “anti-Semitic” remark, or it might have been necessary to call for armed anti-terror police back-up…
Quite often now, it appears that this country has gone absolutely mad.
…and we see inflation destroying, starting to destroy, the pay, pensions, and State benefits of the mass of the population. In the early 1920s, particularly 1923, the Weimar Republic currency suffered from hyperinflation, as paper currency was printed in vast amounts.
German hyperinflation destroyed pay, fixed pensions, savings bank deposits, but it also destroyed the enormous war debts and reparation debts incurred by German governments over many years.
Getting it now?

This is the thin end of the wedge. As I have been blogging recently, this is a small example of what we shall see in the future, regardless of what happens re. the “panicdemic”. Microchipped populations unable to dissent, on pain of being unable to travel, work, socialize, or even buy food, unless the System allows that via the implanted chip.
Stinking rich BBC presenters who owe their wealth to a mandatory tax on people who can ill afford it, and who might not even use the service, telling us how great the BBC is.
Quite. Hugely overpaid idiots such as Gary Lineker. I love the way they are all starting to squawk as they see their rice-bowls about to be taken away.
How about you show some bloody respect to timeless works that stand a thousand miles above your petty, vain, self-aggrandising, transitory and absurd obsessions?
Youth theatre group’s Juliet & Romeo gives Shakespeare back his slang https://t.co/1zZXdrC9Bv
Readers of my blog will be unaware that, nearly 6 months ago, an individual closely-connected to the fake “charity” known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] made a malicious and unwarranted complaint to the police about me.
I shall not mention today the name of the guilty individual, nor those of his half-dozen or so most-guilty accomplices.
In the heat of summer, on my birthday at that, two local uniformed police arrived at my door, and informed me that ********** (a serial complainer to police, as I knew but they, probably, did not) had accused me of “racial harassment”.
After a brief discussion —slightly heated, certainly exasperated, on my side— the police agreed to email me with details of when I might, on a date of my choosing, be willing to attend the local police station.
I arranged for a London solicitor known to me to be in attendance remotely, via telephone, but on the agreed day of the interview (about a week later) there was a communications problem, so the interview was rescheduled.
Three weeks or so after the police had arrived (entirely unnecessarily) at my door, I attended the (so-called) “voluntary” interview at the new and bijou local police station, set in a quiet location away from the nearest road. A hot and sunny Saturday, and early evening.
So quiet, in terms of crime, is the local town, that the new police station is rather hidden away, and one has to press a button to ask to be let in.
The young policeman (well, when you are 65, as I now am, they all look young!) who had come to my door, and a female colleague, interviewed me on both audio and video tape (pursuant to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act [PACE] 1984,
I had prepared (and already emailed) a quite long statement about the situation as I saw it, i.e. the 9 years of attempts by dishonest and malicious Jew-Zionists to have me, inter alia, expelled from Twitter, disbarred, questioned by police, arrested, prosecuted, tried, convicted, and imprisoned.
The Jew-Zionists also managed to have me expelled from Twitter (in 2018, via a concerted conspiratorial campaign which took them about 6 years).
The said pack, or connected packs, have also had me questioned a few times now by the police (twice under caution), but I have never been arrested, never been charged or summonsed, never been prosecuted, never been tried, never been convicted, and never been imprisoned.
As we know, “they” can be relentless in their vindictive pursuit, as written about by none other than William Shakespeare, and the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” crowed mightily, after satirical singer Alison Chabloz was imprisoned, that it had taken the “CAA” 5 years “to get her“.
That evil pack will no doubt make further attempts to use “lawfare” (as they call it) to attack British people such as me, people standing up for Britain and for European civilization. They will continue to fail, most of the time.
Reverting to that police interview, though, it started off with some rather odd questions. I was asked when I last had had a drink! This was not their way of offering me a cold beer on a very hot day, but I have no idea whether that is now a standard police question in the era of the nanny-state, or whether I looked intoxicated!
I thought about it for a second, before answering that I had had a glass of cognac— about a week previously. That answer made both of them laugh, as I explained that I do not drink a great deal these days.
Another odd question was as to whether I had ever been in the Army, by which I assumed they meant the British Army (rather than the Salvation Army, Church Army, Barmy Army, or the Foreign Legion etc) . I replied, truthfully, that I had never held any commission, nor any enlisted rank, in the Army, though I had spent the odd day, and the odd weekend, as a kind of visitor, on British Army bases (in the 1970s and late 1980s).
I have to admit that the police were polite, even pleasant, and of course they were “only following orders” by asking about that absurd accusation of harassment.
After a few more questions (mostly as to whether I had any medical conditions), we started the interview proper. I read into the record my two-page statement. My throat was dry after the first page. The woman police person (are they still called “WPCs”?—maybe not) very kindly offered me a mug of water, and brought it.
A few questions followed, mostly answered with “no comment”, and that was that. I was informed that I would not be placed under arrest, or charged there and then, but that the statement would be sent to other (unspecified) persons —I assumed to another part of the country, and/or the Crown Prosecution Service [CPS]— who would decide whether the matter would be taken further.
I parted from the police on an amicable basis, and briefly considered pocketing the now-empty “Prevent” mug as a souvenir and trophy, but thought better of it.
That, however, was not the end of the affair.
Some of my readers, perhaps especially any legal people, may ask why I made a statement at all, rather than just no-commenting. That is usually good advice (and is what the London solicitor had advised), but I decided to detail a number of matters going beyond the fact that there was no actual evidence of “racial” (or any other form of) harassment by me in relation to ********* (the guilty party…) and his pack. If you like, I decided to let rip and give the pack of bastards both barrels (metaphorically).
True, in the absence of any evidence that there had been any “harassment” in the first place, I could have, perhaps should have, in effect said, simply, “prove it“, but my decision was both tactical and also me wanting to put the record straight about those criminal CAA bastards.
Weeks passed. Months passed. Nothing happened, and I began to assume that the matter had been dropped but without formal notification, as had happened on a previous occasion, in 2017, when the same bastards, typically, had thought to kick me when I was down (soon after my wrongful and unlawful disbarment), and via another malicious complaint, that time under the notorious “bad law” known as Communications Act 2003, s.127.
That complaint had been to tame (((occupied))) police at Grays, Essex. (my blog post about that 2017 complaint against me can be found via the search box on this blog).
Well, just when I thought that it was safe to go back in the water, the local police sent me a letter. So creaking is Britain’s infrastructure now that it took 11 days to reach me (in the same area, only about 2 miles away, at that)! The decision had (it seemed, though nothing was written directly) still not been made to drop what was a ridiculous “case” that should never have been taken seriously by the police (in another part of the country, I believe) in the first place.
That was it. Forget both barrels. Think nuclear strike. I dropped a —metaphorical— strategic nuclear bomb. Within 24 hours, I had received email notification that the CPS had decided that no further action would be taken against me on the complaint by ********** and that I would receive no further contact about it.
In other words, ********** can slither away again now. I would suggest that he gets better legal advice next time.
[Update, 20 August 2023: Further to the above, I can now say that, though I was not arrested, still less convicted of anything by reason of the malicious complaints of the “CAA” cabal, I have now been summonsed. A postal summons arrived through the letterbox at my home address in March 2023, alleging breach of the “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127, i.e. it is alleged that five (5) posts on this blog (from 2020 to 2022) were “grossly offensive“.
I appeared in Court on a date in May 2023, pleading Not Guilty to all five counts. A further brief hearing took place in June 2023. Trial is now set down for 1.5 days in late November 2023. I shall represent myself despite being eligible for a solicitor and Counsel via Legal Aid.
I have every expectation of acquittal on those charges. In fact, the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (which the Law Commission has recommended should be repealed) is soon going to be superseded anyway by the Online Safety Bill presently before Parliament. I may be the last person charged under Communications Act 2003, s.127.
I shall not be blogging further in detail about the case until after the trial. I can say, though, that whatever happens at trial, this blog will continue to be published as if nothing at all had happened.]
So there it is. After about 20 months of nonsense, I was convicted under the bad law Communications Act 2003, s.127, and sentenced to a “community order”, i.e. probation, of 9 months’ duration, to include 15 “rehabilitation days”, and to pay £734.
Well, a third of the financial penalty was crowdfunded, and the “rehabilitation days” were before too long waived after I had done a few (and also a few meetings that, for opaque reasons, did not count as “rehabilitation” days), though each “day” turned out to be far less than a day, indeed far less than half a day: almost all were less than 1 hour, and a couple only lasted 20 minutes. Mostly chats, but with a bit of armchair psychology thrown in. Actually, I rather liked my probation officer, a very polite and pleasant young woman.
Once again, I managed to trump political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 7/10, but I trumped that with 9/10. I did not know the answer to question 5. I felt that the questions were a shade easier than usual this week.
This is what Britain has become; it has descended into a place where any nut with a hammer and a narrow view of history can destroy a statue, a painting, a mural, or some other artwork, while the politically-correct and hugely-ignorant police stand around doing nothing, and as other ignorant persons applaud the vandalism online or otherwise.
As for the nut himself in this case, some cigarette-smoking “chav” type, he apparently shouted out to passers-by, including women, who were telling him to stop vandalizing, that they were “paedos”. What can one say?
Eric Gill [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Gill] certainly was perverse, but so have been many other artists of note. Gill’s art is not 100% to my taste either, but that does not necessarily mean that it can just be destroyed by the first idiot that turns up with a hammer and a contrived grievance.
Society is built on order. There are worrying signs in the UK that disorder is slowly taking over, and I am not talking only about idiots vandalizing statues or artworks.
Upcoming Southend West by-election
It is not worthwhile blogging about the upcoming Southend West by-election in any great detail, because the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties are boycotting the event out of “respect” for the assassinated MP whose death triggered the by-election. That means that, as with the by-election at Batley and Spen held some years ago after the Jo Cox assassination, the voters of Southend will be denied the array of choice (however false) that they would usually have.
Not even Green Party and Reform UK (the latest Farage vehicle) will be standing candidates.
As can be seen on Wikipedia, a number of minor candidates are standing. Two of at least passing interest are Steve Laws (UKIP), well-known for his reportage tweeting about the continuing cross-Channel migration-invasion, and Jayda Fransen (standing as Independent, but formerly a member of two or three parties).
Southend West has been held by the Conservative Party since its creation in 1950, the Con vote peaking the following year at 69.1%.
The MP elected in 1950, 1951 and 1955 was the very wealthy Anglo-American, Henry “Chips” Channon, famous for his indiscreet diaries [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Channon]. His rather mediocre son, Paul Channon, “inherited” the seat and was elected in a by-election in 1959, holding the seat thereafter until 1992, when David Amess was elected on a vote-share of 38.8% (LibDems second on 33.1%). In every subsequent election, Amess’s vote never dipped below 46%.
In 2019, Amess was elected with a solid 59.2% of the vote (Labour second on 28.1%; LibDems third with 11.4%).
In the by-election, The Conservative Party candidate, one Anna Firth, a barrister and Sevenoaks District Council councillor [https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-firth-095271202/], has tried to reach the House of Commons on two previous occasions. Looks like it will be “third time lucky” for her.
I could not see Anna Firth’s name on the chambers’ website for the set with which Ms. Firth is supposedly connected (Hailsham Chambers), so it looks as though she is no longer there. The Daily Mail and Linked-In also mention her as CEO of an “e-learning” organization (some kind of taxpayer-funded “social enterprise”, it appears), so maybe she is no longer in active practice at the Bar at all: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10299379/Conservatives-select-candidate-Southend-West-election.html.
There is minor interest around this by-election, in seeing firstly what vote-share Ms. Firth will get, in the absence of any real competition; also, as to the number of protest votes going to UKIP’s Steve Laws and to Jayda Fransen. Steve Laws may do better than Ms. Fransen; we shall see.
Exactly what I was thinking yesterday when I saw the monkeyhouse on TV, and then Boris-idiot exiting to his car, in the open air, black muzzle-mask in place.
It took me about a week to realise the place is full to the brim of entitled idiots with little to no concept of the real world that they are supposed to represent. They lack life experience. It is a game to many of them and one they are rigging to win. It’s not fit for purpose.
She has a point. I agree with her. The very few MPs I have met in my life have mostly been pretty stupid; in fact they have all been.
Parliament, like the NHS, the Bar, the Church, Oxford and Cambridge universities (in fact, most universities), the trade unions, and much else in Britain, is running on empty.

Late afternoon music
The German Reich and the Soviet Union fought and died, the Reich quickly in 1945, the Soviet Union slowly over decades. It was a fated and fateful encounter. There is today no reason, good or otherwise, for Europe, including Eastern Europe, to exhaust itself in terror and bloodshed.
Very picturesque, even if the music (by Shostakovitch) added for the amateur YouTube video is anachronistic (I think that the film itself is from the famous 1960s War and Peace).
I prefer the (Khatchaturian) music in the video below:
A concert in Dresden in 2011, 76 years after the devastating Allied air attack. How resilient human beings can be.
Obviously meant to be Boris-idiot and Andrew Windsor. Conceptually very good, but as caricature not so good; I would not have recognized them.
Late tweets
'The drumbeat of war is sounding loud.' What the #MSM aren't telling you is that #Putin has said that, in the event of war, Russia will target not just enemy forces in the ground, but also their command centres. That's the White House, No. 10 & Brussels. https://t.co/hWb1JhIRhd
It would be a fatal error to imagine that that could not happen. All serious wargames since 1960 that postulated use of tactical nuclear weapons have ended up with strategic nuclear weapons being used.
What would that mean in the UK? First, sudden and deadly Spetsnaz attacks by lethal special forces units on ground targets in this country— early-warning stations, ports, air bases, transport infrastructure, Internet infrastructure, and on heads of state and government. Then nuclear attacks on the same, if still in one piece.
Russia is about 72x the area of the UK. Nuclear attacks on Russia by NATO (mainly USA) would cause undreamt-of destruction, but Russia would survive, and rebuild, even if it took a hundred years. Were the UK to be attacked with nuclear weapons, almost all of the country would be flattened. Britain might not survive in any recognizable form.
The whole idea of Britain joining the Americans in war with Russia is mad. Why do it? So that Jew oligarchs can continue to exploit Ukraine? So that Ukraine, which prior to 1991 was never an independent state, can keep its present borders, which contain —especially in the East— large numbers of Russians and pro-Russians? So that the New World Order can expand its power?
Britain, disastrously, went to war in 1914 and then in 1939, both times for no good reason. Not again, I hope.
Steve Laws is standing in the Southend West by-election on 3 February 2022. I would normally not recommend a vote for UKIP, but in the absence of any real social-national candidate, Laws deserves at least a protest vote, if anyone there is going to vote at all.
“Mr Johnson’s public and private life have been littered with lies, which saw him sacked as a journalist, fired by Tory leader Michael Howard over an affair and eventually thrown out by his wife Marina, who believed he was having an illicit relationship with Carrie Symonds.
His former boss at the paper, Max Hastings, wrote in the Daily Mail in 2012: ‘If the day ever comes that Boris Johnson becomes tenant of Downing Street, I shall be among those packing my bags for a new life in Buenos Aires or suchlike, because it means that Britain has abandoned its last pretensions to be a serious country.’” [Daily Mail].
I have been infuriated for 20 years at the easy ride given to “Boris” Johnson by the mass media. Of course, it was no accident. The Jewish lobby was his mainstay, and Johnson is of course himself part-Jew.
Johnson has also been favoured because, despite the am-dram “English upper class” camouflage, ingrained by his time at Eton and then Oxford, Johnson is actually not only part-Jew but part-Levantine, born in New York City, brought up in New York, Connecticut and Washington D.C., as well as in Belgium. In other words, he has no real “blood and bone” loyalty to England or Britain. He is a “rootless cosmopolitan” in every way. A complete fake.
The international cabals have favoured Johnson for that reason, and because he is very easily bought, suborned, and used.
Looks like his own party members in the Commons realize that their own survival depends on, not so much getting rid of “Boris” but on installing a replacement who is at least semi-competent, before the voters chuck out 100+ Conservative Party MPs.
I expect that Johnson will be out before Summer.
Max Hastings is right, though; I mean not only about Johnson but about Britain. It is now not a serious country. Blacks and browns invade in rubber boats across the Channel, not only unchecked by Border Force, Royal Navy and others, but actually provided with a free shuttle service! The once-fine RNLI, now taken over by traitors, act as accomplices in that, as do a horde of virtue-signalling “refugees welcome” dimwits.
Britain rattles its all but blunt sabre at Russia and China, something which is actually embarrassing when one looks at the disparity in power.
British pensioners, once cheated by the Jew fraud who called himself “Robert Maxwell”, are now royally ripped off by others (mostly though not always Jewish), such as the Jew Green and his family. Who stands up for those poor British people? The “British” political parties? Ha, no! Riddled with “Friends of Israel” MPs such as Johnson, all of his Cabinet, and —arguably even more shameful— “Keir” Starmer and his Shadow Cabinet, Labour Friends of Israel members all. Starmer himself has a Jewish wife (a lawyer, at that), and children being brought up as if fully-Jewish.
Had I any money, I would pay a handsome reward to the first person capturing a photograph of Starmer wearing one of those little skullcaps. What is that I hear? Starmer would never do that? Oh, would he not?… Blair did…

The System will vomit out Johnson because his total inability to be a Prime Minister of this country is beginning to undermine whatever residual respect, or at least compliance to the System still exists in the public psychology.
The USA is so divided that the “winner takes all” electoral system becomes meaningless. The demographic change in the USA over time has meant that what was at one time an almost entirely white (European-race) population (at one time about 90%) has become one where only about half are descended from Europeans (some say less than half). That is not the only division, of course; income, capital, age, and sex are other (but not the only other) aspects.
This is my Dad; he died at 3:50 pm today. I was with him to the very end. Another victim of being let down by the National Health Service in England. He had to pay privately to find out his back pain was indeed Stage Four Lung Cancer after months of pain.
The principle of the NHS was/is good: free at point of use. However, its maladministration, particularly in the hospitals, has become so bad over many years that one could now almost call the NHS a hit-or-miss health service. That has been made even more evident by the “panicdemic” and the prioritization of the ridiculous mass “vaccination” programme.
Few would want the UK to go to a US-style health system, but the idea that the systems elsewhere, particularly in Western and Central Europe, are not worth even looking at, is just completely wrongheaded.
The UK was one of the countries which led the way in public health provision in the 20th Century, with the establishment of the NHS. Perhaps the UK can now devise a 21st Century public health system that works better for its patients and their families, rather than (often) seeming to be run mainly for the benefit of those who work in it.

Jewish National Fund UK chair: ‘Jews have no future in England’
“In an interview with the Jerusalem Post earlier this month, Jewish National Fund UK chair Samuel Hayek warned British Jews may “feel more comfortable” after the defeat of Jeremy Corbyn but “the underlying issues have not gone away”.
“In addition to suggesting British Jews should consider emigration, he said: “Let’s assume that Corbyn would have become prime minister. We all know our lives would have changed without recognition. We cannot even understand it fully.”
“Is it easy to sell their businesses?” he asked. “Could they do it quickly? Where would they go? To South Africa, the United States, Canada – hopefully, Israel.”
A Jew like Giles Coren can suggest that someone (Mira bar-Hillel, a Jewish, but anti-Zionist, journalist) who is both named, and known to Coren, be killed by Jew Zionists, but will the police take any interest? No, of course not; yet if you, as an English person, say “boo” not even to a Jew but about him (or her, or it), the skies will fall in as the police —or even, maybe, their “anti-terror command”— play at being a poundland KGB.
Labour Party
Why are Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves parading a 5% VAT cut as the solution to crippling energy bill rises?
Average energy bill in 2021 – £1,277 Average energy bill in 2022 – over £1,800
Increase – over £523 Amount Labour's scrapping VAT will save – £90
Interesting, and typical of many tweets seen this morning. Looks as if Keir Starmer’s Jewish-lobby “Labour” Party (Rachel Reeves, like Starmer and all his Shadow Cabinet, being a fervent member of Labour Friends of Israel) is not convincing many. I concede that Twitter is very unrepresentative, but offline I have not met an openly Labour supporter or voter for about 7 years.
That is one reason why I took a very early look, a few days ago, at the Erdington by-election. That looks very much like it is going to be a straight Labour-Conservative fight, in a situation where both main System parties have lost public confidence. The question is, which party is hated and/or despised the most?
In recent by-elections, the Conservative Party has done badly, losing two hitherto safe Con seats, but to the LibDems as relatively uncontroversial third party, not to Labour. Both Chesham and Amersham, and North Shropshire, were considered safe Con seats. Birmingham Erdington has been a safe Labour seat since the 1930s (with a near-upset in 1983).
The Conservative Party vote-share fell hugely in the two by-elections mentioned; it also fell at the 2021 Batley and Spen by-election (won narrowly by Labour), and that at Old Sidcup and Bexley (won easily by the Conservatives).
However, in all those by-elections except Old Bexley, the Labour vote also fell, and by a considerable amount. The Labour percentage vote-shares were: Batley and Spen 35.3%; Old Bexley and Sidcup 30.9%; North Shropshire 9.7%; Chesham and Amersham 1.6%.
Another, earlier, 2021 by-election, was that held at Hartlepool, in March 2021. There, in a seat always Labour since its establishment in 1974 (and usually also in the predecessor constituency), and where Labour candidates almost always scored over 50% (Peter Mandelson 60.7% in 1997), Labour’s losing (to Conservatives) 2021 by-election vote-share was only 28.7%.
None of Labour’s 2021 by-election results can be plausibly laid at the door of the departed Jeremy Corbyn.
Out of those 5 by-elections, only one success (Batley and Spen) and only one increase in vote-share (Old Bexley and Sidcup). To me, the results show that Labour is being seen as not only unpopular but as actually irrelevant. As I have noted before, the Keir Starmer “pitch” to the public is, more or less, “we support what the Government is doing, on the whole, but it should be doing it better, and while down on one knee and wearing a facemask“. Not very inspiring.
The odds must be that the Birmingham Erdington by-election will go Labour’s way, but I am unsure about that. Until the past few weeks, I should have said that the Cons were only a couple of points behind Lab in the constituency. Now? Hard to say. This may be a battle between two blocs of apathy…

Islington North: more Labour Party news
“A high-profile Labour woman who lost her seat ‘thanks to Jeremy Corbyn‘ should be the candidate to end his Commons career, it was suggested last night.
Party insiders say that one of several female MPs who lost in the disastrous 2019 election would be Labour’s best choice to stand against the former leader in his North London stronghold, Islington North.
Mr Corbyn is currently barred from standing as the Labour candidate in the next General Election because of a bitter antisemitism row with Sir Keir Starmer.” [Mail on Sunday]
I think that one can guess what (((type))) of individual thought up that bitter and vindictive “pound of flesh” idea…
Mary Creagh was one of the most active and fervent pro-Israel drones in the Commons; Ruth Smeeth, half-Jewish and descended on one side from East London gangsters, was exposed by Wikileaks as listed as a “to be strictly protected” secret informant by the U.S. Embassy in London. In effect, an agent or spy, to put it one way. It is not known (by me) whether she was paid for that. Before becoming an MP, she was also employed by the Israeli propaganda operation known as BICOM.
Both women were or are members of Labour Friends of Israel. Both were found well-paid jobs heading non-governmental orgs after the electors of their constituencies disposed of them.
As to what might well happen if one of those two is selected by the Jewish-lobby “Labour” Party now headed by Keir Starmer to contest Islington North, that might be interesting.
Islington North is a very solid Labour stronghold. The last election there won by the Conservative Party was in 1935. No Labour Party candidate since 1931 has recorded a vote-share below 40%.
Corbyn has been MP for Islington North since 1983, and his peak vote-share of 73% (in 2017) exceeded even that which he achieved in 1997 (69.3%) and that of the winning Labour candidate in 1945 (67.4%). In 2019, his vote was at 64.3%. Only when he was first elected in 1983 did his vote-share dip below 50% (40.4%), and that was because the Social Democratic Party stood, and garnered a vote of 22.4% (Con 25.3%).
How much of that solid Labour voting is for Labour label, and how much for Corbyn? We have seen many past examples of former Labour MPs standing as independent or small-party candidates, only to be swept away. No doubt Starmer and “Labour Friends of Israel” hope that that will happen in this case. I doubt it.
This situation is, as far as I know, unprecedented. Former Labour ministers have stood against Labour in the past (notably in the SDP days), and with mixed but generally poor results. Never, however, has a former Labour Party leader stood for election in a constituency, against an official Labour Party candidate.
Corbyn is extremely well-known, to say the least, both in the country generally (since 2015) and in the constituency (since 1983; 38 years…).
I should think that, in such unique circumstances, Corbyn would have every chance if he stood as Independent, or Independent Labour. I doubt that, with his background, he would start a new party.
The Conservative Party vote-share in the constituency peaked at 66.07% in 1931; since then, there has been an uneven but gradual decline overall. In the 1980s and 1990s, mostly in the 20%-30% range, and lower since then: the elections 1997-2019 show 12.9%, 10.8%, 11.9%, 14.2%, 17.2%, 12.5%, and finally 10.2%.
There is every chance that the Conservative vote will slip below 10% —maybe even below 5%— next time. That means that the contest will be between Corbyn (if he stands) and whoever Labour selects to oppose him. Corbyn may well be the front-runner.
As to the LibDems, their vote peaked at 29.9% in 2005, and in the last few elections has been in the 10%-20% range (15.6% in 2019). It may be that they could mount something of a challenge in a 4-horse race. If Con votes joined with LibDem votes, on 2019 figures, that might add up to 25% or so, but it seems unlikely even then, that they could do better than a second place.
A situation to watch.
Mary Creagh
I just saw a comment by one of Mary Creagh’s former Wakefield constituents:
“Mary Creagh was our mp, unfortunately. She is the most arrogant, self-important, waste of space. She literally did nothihng for the Wakefield area. Her attitude is appalling, she just could not be bothered with the area. Goodness knows why people voted for her. Islington is welcome to her. Strange isn’t it that she is still blaming someone else for her loss. She lost because she asserted remain when our area had voted leave and still the penny has not dropped for her. Her sense of entltlement is staggering. Watch out Islington!“
Mary Creagh had her eyes on things far more important to her than the poor people of Wakefield, namely the interests of Israel and the Jewish lobby, followed by the pro-EU Remain campaign. Her own career and money too, of course…
Seeing TV reportage of Mary Creagh crying in anger and frustration, after the voters of Wakefield binned her, was stellar.
Addendum: saw this comment about Islington Labour voters: “Young professionals who have never lived through a Labour government. Could they cope through another Winter of Discontent with constant strikes, sitting my candlelight with no heating and rubbish piled up in the street?“
The “”Winter of Discontent” myth has become as ingrained as the old “holo (you know what)” farrago! I was in the UK (aged 22) during the said winter. There were strikes in some parts of the economy, yes, for a few weeks in some cases. Few people had their electricity supply interrupted; same with heating. As for rubbish piling up, yes, but only in some areas, and for a few weeks. The whole thing was short in duration and limited in effect(s). It was not the Siege of Leningrad. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent.
The “Winter of Discontent” has become one of those things that many think is so, but is only partly so, a bit like the aforesaid “holo” stuff and various other situations (eg that the UK only had basic foodstuffs until about 20 years ago, or that there were large numbers of blacks living in the UK in the 1960s or even 1950s.
You often see people moaning also about how terrible the whole of the 1970s were, with light and heat cut off because of strikes, and similar “facts”. In fact, the “three day week” and the power cuts affected mainly businesses, lasted weeks not months (in late 1973) and few domestic users were even affected. A few, for short periods. Yet you see people, even those who were there at the time spinning nonsense in newspaper comments sections, or on Twitter, about how they spent much of the 1970s without heat, light, or even food!
It does make me wonder about the fallibility of human memory.

“Doctor”? Hardy ha ha…The law should be clarified as to who is entitled to use the designation and who should not (e.g. someone whose doctorate is merely a Ph.D. based on a study of a strike in a match factory in 1888…).
Rod Liddle strikes me (though I have never met him) as a remarkably unpleasant person, with some of whose views (not re. the “panicdemic”, obviously) I agree, from time to time. Why anyone should think his views on medicine in any way authoritative, I have no idea; Liddle’s mature-student degree was in Social Psychology: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Liddle.

That last tweet would make more sense if Twitter hadn't blocked the one I sent just before it – a quote from the 16th century founder of civil disobedience and non-violent res*stance to tyr*anny, Etienne de la Boetie. Hitler and Stallingborough banned his writings too!
Sometimes, non-violent resistance can work, if the regime opposed is not completely brutal and/or deranged; and if the time is right. It worked in the Baltic republics, the DDR and other Soviet satellites in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and indeed in the Russian core of the Soviet Union in the same period, but it would never have worked in, say, 1970s Cambodia.
