Thoughts out of season

Demographic collapse. Something that has engaged me for a number of years, perhaps triggered in part by my own increasing age (I was 70 in September 2026).

I notice that other thinkers into the future are also increasingly interested in the question; Nick Griffin for one (see his Substack blog).

In the part of the country where I live, on the southern coast of England, the ageing population is very evident. Not only in hospitals but also in supermarkets etc, it appears that almost everyone is well above retirement age. At 70, I should be considered “senior”, to put it politely, but (albeit that many think that I look many years younger than my real age) I at least feel fairly youthful compared to most of the shoppers around me, many of whom require sticks, Zimmer frames, mobility scooters etc.

Will robots save our society, or will they —literally— just support the aged as our whole society becomes totally sclerotic?

The crunch has not quite arrived. 2040?

Gloomy thoughts for a late-Autumnal day.

Both the First World War, and that of 1939-1945, did not start without a build-up. One sees the Western ruling circles and cabals pushing non-stop for conflict with Russia over (supposedly) the war between Russia and the Jew/Ukrainian-thug regime in Ukraine, a war which really has nothing to do, in its ground-reality, with the West, or NATO, let alone with the UK, which has never had more than peripheral contact with Ukraine over the past thousand years.

Were the West to stop supporting the brutal, corrupt, and shambolic Kiev dictatorship with arms and money (etc), the war would fizzle out in weeks. However, that result does not interest the NWO/ZOG cabals which are fuelling the conflict.

The result may be that Russia is pushed and pushed until it strikes with its one real trump card, its nuclear arsenal, at the societies of Western and Central Europe.

The USA would probably strand back, not respond. In the final analysis, the NATO treaty is just a piece of paper. I doubt that the USA would want its 100 biggest cities destroyed for the sake of the cities and military/naval installations of Poland, Germany, France…or the UK (probably the most exposed country of all in some respects).

The Cold War has long vanished into history. There is now no Soviet Union, with an expansionist and Marxist-Leninist ideology.

(a number of tweeters saying that there is no magazine in place; true, in theory, though, there could still be a round “up the spout”).

One has to consider a. why Muslim women want to join the UK police; and b. why they want to join the specialist firearms units.

Cut off all help to the Kiev regime.

Welcome back, brave young woman.

Not completely historically correct, but the main point is valid.

Yes, there have been a large number of cases over the years and decades, in the USA, UK, and elsewhere, of “antisemitic” vandalism (and other types of incident) in fact perpetrated by Jews trying to bolster the “Jews are victims” narrative(s).

Stray thought

I happened to see, yesterday, a brief segment of some political discussion programme featuring the dim-witted Con Party MP, Joy Morrissey. I wrote a short piece about her last year:

“Ecce Joy Morrissey, “Conservative” fake, and MP for Beaconsfield

Translation: “I am not British. I was born in Indiana, and brought up in Ohio. I only came to the UK in the first place to get a degree at the LSE. I married an EU citizen, and then divorced him to marry another. I thereby got the legal right to stay in the UK. I also got the right to work in the UK, but in fact never exercised that right, except that I was briefly and totally unsuccessfully a soft-porn would-be actress. Never mind; my second husband has plenty of money, so I never needed, in 18 years, to get any real job or profession… I just played at Con Party politics— in a think tank, with a Con MP, and as a local Con Party councillor. I then tried, unsuccessfully, to be selected as Con Party candidate for Mayor of London. I did, however, eventually get selected for the safe Con seat at Beaconsfield, because the existing Con MP, Dominic Grieve, was expelled from Con Party by “Boris”-idiot, whom I supported. I have been MP since 2019. In those 6 years, I have accomplished absolutely nothing, and, despite Beaconsfield having been (before I was MP) a very safe seat, my vote at Beaconsfield has fallen from 56% in 2019 to 38% in 2024. I supported uneducated, uncultured and stupid nobody Liz Truss as PM (for 49 days) as well as “Boris”-idiot. I doubt that I will be MP for much longer, but in the meantime will continue to support Israel and its UK Jewish lobby, and support mass immigration, as well as blagging my unmerited and generous salary and expenses.”

[Joy Morrissey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Morrissey]

I lived for 6 months (2001-2002) at Higher Denham, Bucks, within the Beaconsfield constituency, so that idiot would have been my MP had I stayed in the area. At least Fate spared me that.“

The woman wants to destroy what is left of the Welfare State, and also throw money and other support at Israel and the Kiev regime dictatorship.

A total waste of space.

A few passing thoughts about Andy Burnham

I happened to see the tweet below, which echoes in a satirical way some of my own views about Burnham:

Many years ago, when Burnham was previously in the lineup to become Labour leader (but failed), I commented that he was the best of an extremely poor bunch. My present views are not very different.

The American self-help guru Anthony Robbins [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Robbins] has a phrase, “don’t major in minor things“. Good advice. That, though, is exactly what Burnham has done since having been elevated to the position of Prime Minister. He has majored in minor things.

I see not a lot wrong with at least some of the fairly modest policies announced over the past weeks and months (on car parking, rights for renters, bus fares etc), but —looking at their modest scope— these are relatively minor though certainly (in some cases anyway) welcome reforms.

My concern lies with what Burnham has done or, rather, not done, in the major-policy arena. He has continued (indeed, increased) the funnelling of UK taxpayer monies (actual cash, as well as expensive arms and ammunition etc) to the Kiev regime. He has done nothing to stop the migration-invasion of Britain (the contrary, in fact), and I see nothing of real substance anywhere else, in any area at all.

Those who think that Russia will make concessions by reason of the fact (insofar as it is a fact) that Russia is under economic pressure, misunderstand the Russian character, which at heart is very resilient, very resistant to external pressure, and very much able to take considerable hits (and also able to give some hits…).

That officer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Walker] may be a skilled soldier —his record certainly suggests that— but fails to see that, increasingly, there is no “nation” for which to fight, the way things are, and the way things are going. A mixed-race population, and the wealthier part of the society (English, but also many Jews and other non-Brits, meaning non-Brits in any real sense) not interested in the welfare of the majority.

For whom does General Walker think we must fight? The finance-capitalist exploiters? The Jew-Zionist lobby? The buy-to-let parasites? The migrant-invaders and those facilitating the invasion? The corrupt and incompetent “political class”?

Only brainwashed idiots want to fight Russia on any basis, certainly not because the Kiev regime is losing its war.

Likewise, no real British person should have to accept even lower living standards and services because generals without an army want to foment a totally unnecessary war with Russia, a war which Russia —a nuclear power with over 6,000 nuclear weapons— cannot lose.

[“There is no “conversation” to have.

I am a British Army veteran, and I would never fight to the death for this government, its politicians, or their “plans”.

I would, however, absolutely fight to the death defending my home, my family and my country.

And if that means standing on my own doorstep, refusing to be carted off to fight somebody else’s war, then so be it.

Russia is NOT our enemy. The real threat is already here. I, and every other veteran I’ve spoken with, will be staying on home soil, thank you very much.”]

Well said.

“Is Paris burning?”…

The rioters are lucky that Macron and not Millard is President of France. I should order the crowds to be fired upon.

It has been obvious for many years that the NHS, despite its virtues, is simply not up to the job. The migration invasion has pushed the population up from about 55M when I was born (1956) to somewhere around 70M in 2026. That alone has placed huge burdens on the Service. Then you have the general ageing of the population, and also the unhealthy diet and lifestyle of many, including abuse of drugs and alcohol.

Finally…

Trump is all over the place, but Russia must finish off the Zelensky regime in Kiev before the next President is installed in 2029 (after the 2028 election). Russia has only 2 years and a couple of months in which to “clinch the deal” (as Trump might say).

Russia needs a gamechanger, something that will finish off the Kiev regime, and do so completely.

Not “animals“— don’t insult our animal friends. “Untermenschen” is a better description of those rioting in France, and those invading the UK on so-called “small boats”.

Both Macron and Starmer-stein need to face justice. “To each his own“…

Late thought

Amid the trumpeting —for war with Russia— of bought political creatures, bought military top brass, bought msm scribblers and TV talking heads, there is something we, as individuals, can do to fight against the war drums. What is that? It is to “just say no“. What I mean by that is to simply stand as individuals, stand against the entirely unnecessary frenzy.

“What if they held a war and no-one came?” was a question once asked. Well, in my view, the individual can simply say “NO!“, and not vote for warmongering “democratic” political careerists, not agree (if 18-40) to register for any proposed conscription or draft, not appear if ordered to appear for anything to do with that etc.

Some people may decide to do more (I prefer not to specify), and to take individual actions against any mooted war (which would soon leave our poor country as an irradiated wasteland).

Both the wars of 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 set the world, and especially Europe, back. A third such war might destroy Europe as a European civilization and culture.

Do not comply and, if you can, do what you can to prevent it.

The late Lindsey Graham was a complete and willing agent of the international Jew-Zionist conspiracy; always warmongering for NWO/ZOG.

Though I concede that there is no direct (and publicly-available) evidence for it, it is also possible that MOSSAD had compromizing material on him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham#Personal_life.

Notwithstanding the maxim de mortuis nihil nisi bonum, Graham was a very negative force in international relations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham

“A war hawk, Graham advocated an interventionist role for the United States and was a prominent supporter of Israel, Ukraine, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.“

[Wikipedia]

Like many people from his part of the world (South Carolina), Graham died of a heart attack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham#Death.

I recall reading, on one of my own visits to Charleston long ago, about how the subtropical climate and (very tasty) Low Country cuisine combined to make people from that part of the world susceptible to heart attacks and strokes.

That is French history. Around a quarter of the population of France is now non-European, not French in any real sense. They have no real connection to French history. The same applies, mutatis mutandis, to the equivalent populations in the UK.

The rioters are either non-white or (and/or) are extreme proponents of a multikulti society. They should all be shot down in the streets, regardless of race, age or condition.

[“You can grieve for what’s happening in France – I do, I’m half French, I grew up between here and Paris. But beware who you’re RTing – plenty of MAGA and Marine Le Pen peeps are on here salivating at the division they can drive. Lowe exploiting it too. The only side you should be on is architecture, shops and Macron’s and I think, even as a fan, he needs to pull his finger out. Devastating carnage across the country, toughen up the response.“]

The lady (ex-wife of an ex-MP (Con Party); she often tweets about her fantasy political party called “the Moderates”. Apparently, her idea of “moderate” is someone pro-EU, pro- the Kiev regime dictatorship, pro-Jew (though not Israel after the Gaza slaughter, so credit to her for that at least), pro some social security, but anti the Triple Lock and pensioners having financial security, and pro massive (and unnecessary) defence spending…

She also calls anyone even marginally nationalist “fash” (i.e. “fascist”), just like the “antifa” crazies.

Incidentally, I always thought she looked, on her Twitter/X pictures, somehow not entirely English.

Even she, though, sees that the response to the disorder is and looks weak.

Unfortunately, that Edginton person, in other tweets, quotes the malicious goblins of the Jew-Zionist org ,”Campaign Against Antisemitism”, effectively a semi-volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, which org is run by Jewish liars and perjurers, which engages in “lawfare” against British people such as me, and operates against free speech and freedom of expression.

Anyone who quotes, approvingly, the “CAA”, is probably going to be a waste of space.

[“The Trump administration is reportedly proposing to Europe that it resume purchasing Russian gas as part of a peace agreement regarding Ukraine, which would allow Moscow to earn billions of dollars in revenue and restore its economic influence.”

This was reported by the New York Times, which claims that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff discussed the possibility of resuming the operation of Russian gas pipelines through Ukraine and the “Nord Stream” pipelines, noting that American investors could also receive a portion of the profits.

However, Germany is actively opposed to this, warning that “resuming dependence on Russian energy sources could threaten European security.” The publication notes, however, that the most popular party in the country, “Alternative for Germany” (AfD), supports the restoration of imports in order to lower energy prices.“]

Good, if that means that Israel and the Kiev regime will have to do without.

“French”? Ha ha…

A good caption might be “French ‘anti-racist’ girl gets schooled by life as the non-European looters push past her to take what they want.”

Alice Weidel, leader of the German party “Alternative for Germany” (AfD), delivered a speech in which a significant portion was dedicated to the issue of German support for Ukraine and relations with Russia:

“While you are trying to virtually single-handedly finance a proxy war against the nuclear power of Russia, our European partners are already cautiously showing restraint.

And while you approve one package of sanctions after another, thereby destroying our own economy and state finances, the United States and Russia are negotiating the supply of diesel fuel and concluding other agreements that are beneficial to both sides.”]

Pity the UK has no such politicians.

…and look at the deadhead nodding dogs in the audience!

Very good, but would it not be better to concentrate such purchases in one area?

In any case, soon (if not already), the UK inhabitants of that age-group will be mostly non-white, so non-British in any real sense, with little or no emotional connection to, or respect for, our history and culture. Why would they fight for a Britain that scarcely exists any more?

Those MPs are in the pockets of either the Jew-Zionist manipulators, or the Islamist plotters in their constituencies. In a few cases, both apply.

As to Gove’s former (?) girlfriend, Lola Salem, the mainstream media are saying almost nothing about her since she was committed for Crown Court trial a week ago on charges of possessing indecent images of children.

On “British” TV etc, you only see the Ukrainian conflict from the Kiev-regime side.

[“MBS IS FINISHED: THE HOUSE OF SAUD FACES TOTAL COLLAPSE Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector and Marine intelligence officer, warns that Mohammed bin Salman has entered a death spiral with no way out. A war launched in 2014 for quick military glory has become a 12-year nightmare that is now physically dismantling Saudi oil production. The American umbrella has failed, allies will not ride to the rescue, and the kingdom is losing decisively. The only remaining question is how fast the collapse arrives.

THE CORE VERDICT

Ritter states the demise of Muhammad bin Salman is inevitable.

“He’s finished.”

If lucky he catches the last gold-plated 747 out of Riyadh to a London hideaway or the United States.

If not, his head is removed by sword amid shouts of Allahu Akbar.

“It’s the end of the House of Saud.”

THE 2014 STRATEGIC ERROR

MBS tried to earn his military spurs with a fast victory over Ansar Allah.

The campaign turned into a 12-year nightmare.

His later decision to expand the war by striking Sanaa airfield only accelerated the destruction.

There is no political off-ramp left and no salvation coming.

THE OIL DESTRUCTION

Ansar Allah is no longer limited to blocking Bab el-Mandeb or hitting pipelines and storage.

They are now attacking production facilities and the wells themselves.

“This is the end of Saudi Arabia.”

Without oil the entire Vision 2030 fantasy collapses into what Ritter calls a Bedouin-infested sand pit with nothing left.

NO ALLIES WILL SAVE HIM

The American security umbrella proved nonfunctional.

Saudi forces are ineffective, overweight, proxy-driven and overmatched.

Pakistan faces massive Imran Khan protests and will not send tens of thousands of troops into a losing desert war.

Turkey has no interest in dying for the Saudis.

The Mecca Pact is a joke of maps and chalkboards with no real troop movement.

THE RIYADH PREDICTION

If MBS is removed and internal fighting follows, Ritter says Ansar Allah columns could drive through the streets of Riyadh.

Saudis have feared this outcome since 1990.

“Saudi Arabia is losing this war decisively. And there’s nothing that can be done to save them.”

The world will experience the same shock that hit when the Shah of Iran fell in 1979.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Scott Ritter sees MBS as toast and the House of Saud heading toward the same abrupt end that surprised everyone in 1979. Energy production is being dismantled, no outside force will intervene, and the collapse is already underway. History is about to deliver a shock that almost no one in the West has priced in.”]

Refers to Burnham’s stupid comment to the effect that Russia somehow procured the 2016 Brexit Referendum vote. Now Burnham admits that he has no evidence whatsoever to back that. He is pathetic.

[“Historic Milestone in Florida as Over 80 Orthodox Jewish Families Move Into New $100 Million-Plus Community and Schools Open

More than 80 families from New York have moved into Lakefront Estates, where schools have now opened. Dozens more families are expected in the coming weeks, following reported investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in the project.

Located in Glades County near Lake Okeechobee, Lakefront is a purpose-built residential community. The broader development plan calls for up to 1,000 single-family homes and 300 rental units.

The vision goes beyond housing: plans include synagogues, mikvahs, boys’ and girls’ schools, a yeshiva, a kollel, kosher shopping and medical services. Developers are targeting families seeking more space and an alternative to soaring housing costs in established Orthodox neighborhoods.

Hatzalah South Florida has also begun organizing a local branch, meeting with prospective responders who will serve Lakefront. With families arriving and classrooms opening, the focus now shifts from construction to building the services a growing community needs.“]

It has been suggested that there may now be some variety of superinjunction in place, an injunction which prevents being published even the fact of its existence. I wonder. The msm deletions would seem to support that theory, but how can such an injunction cover even the fact that a woman has not only been charged but has been committed for trial?

Apart from that, I have nothing further to say at this time about Lola Salem and the horrible little degenerate, Gove, having said it all in the past few days on the blog, and previously.

Relations between Russia and Japan continue to deteriorate.

If the next general election does not move things in at least a generally social-national way, the British people will be fully justified in taking whatever action is required to save this country.

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16198861/falklands-furore-marine-machine-gun-migrant-boats.html

“The commander who led the land operation to liberate the Falklands has triggered a furore by saying that boats carrying migrants across the Channel should be machine-gunned.

‘I would shoot them,’ Major-General Julian Thompson told a documentary about mass immigration to Britain.

The Home Office warned today that anyone taking the law into their own hands would face ‘serious criminal consequences’, while the Tories stressed that ‘opening fire on migrant boats would be completely wrong‘

Maj Gen Thompson, 92, who headed 3 Commando Brigade during the conflict, said of the thousands of migrants who land on UK shores each month: ‘We could stop them tomorrow if we really had the guts. I’d shoot them, sorry, but I would.’

Asked if he feared a backlash to his remarks, Maj Gen Thompson said: ‘As long as they don’t come around here, I don’t mind what they do.

‘They come over here and rape our girls. One machine-gun blast is all it would take… then they would get the message. I just want them to bugger off. 

‘If they [the Government] don’t stop them then there will be a revolution. Our leaders are just wet.’

He also says Britain is ‘just going downhill’, adding: ‘I’m glad I won’t see it, I’ll be dead.

‘It’s not Britain any more, it’s a sort of funny conglomeration of people, and in a wet country that allows itself to be pushed around all over the place.'”

[Daily Mail]

General Thompson is quite right.

The General has earned the right, at age 92 and with his distinguished military background, to speak the truth regardless of the untruths all around the issues commented upon.

Gove and Lola Salem

[Lola Salem with Gove]

I had never heard of the defendant, Lola May Salem. Turns out that she is of Jewish or part-Jewish background, having written in The Critic magazine that, when a child in Nanterre, a low-income banlieue near Paris inhabited by many North Africans, her brother experienced “anti-Semitism”.

It may well be, speculating a little, that this Lola Salem is of pied-noir origin. Google AI has this: “A Pied-Noir (plural: Pieds-Noirs, meaning literally “black foot” in French) is a person of European descent—including French, Spanish, Italian, Maltese, and Sephardic Jewish origins—who was born or lived in French-ruled Algeria during the colonial period from 1830 to 1962.“

Many pieds-noirs who left Algeria in the early 1960s were of Jewish origin.

One can only imagine what that woman saw in Gove. Someone wealthy and still influential, one supposes. Fairly big age-gap (26 years: she is 33, he 59). Still, these things happen.

Incidentally, the restaurant where Lola Salem and Gove indulged in seafood and public displays of affection seems to have been Sheekey’s [https://j-sheekey.co.uk/our-history/], off St. Martin’s Lane in London. I used to walk past there occasionally. and always thought to try it out, but never did.

Gove must have liked Lola Salem a lot, looking at the prices: https://j-sheekey.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/JSheekey_Autumn-Menus_ALC-26_09_26.pdf

The wine list is pretty impressive, too.

Regular readers of the blog will be aware that one of the 5 tweets that got me disbarred in 2016 at the behest of the Jewish lobby (specifically “UK Lawyers for Israel”/”UKLFI” and, in the shadows, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”/”CAA”) was that describing Gove in some such terms as a dishonest expenses cheat and fraud, and puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby. All true, but that did not save me from a wrongful (and, it later turned out, actually unlawful) disbarment.

At that time (2016), I was unaware that Gove was also a cocaine abuser and, at times, a shambling drunk as well. That only emerged into public view later. He was even filmed on House of Commons TV staggering drunkenly into the Chamber, scarcely able to stand up, but the tweets showing that (I think, YouTube footage too) have disappeared. “They” must look after their puppets.

Well, I cannot comment on the Lola Salem criminal matter as such, firstly because it is now sub judice, but also because I know nothing about it anyway, and first heard of the matter —and the defendant herself— only a few hours ago.

I wonder whether Gove himself was questioned. Perhaps it will come out at the Lola Salem trial; we shall have to wait and see.

The Jewish thing seems to hang around Gove like a clinging cloud of smog. I have never been able to discover for sure the background of Gove’s estranged wife, Sarah Vine (they are separated but not yet divorced; something to do with “paperwork”, apparently…). I have my suspicions, but her origins seem shrouded in mystery.

Gove and Sarah Vine were married in 2001 (in France) and stayed together until 2022. 21 years of marriage. There has never been given, publicly, any specific reason why they split, which was apparently at Sarah Vine’s instigation. I believe that the split happened prior to Gove’s mesalliance or misalliance with Lola Salem, so what was the triggering event?

In fact, it was the Jewish lobby that got Gove into Parliament as an MP in the first place (he is now yet another absurd “lord” in the degraded House of Lords, and Editor of the Spectator). He remains a complete doormat for the Jewish lobby and for Israel.

Tweets seen

The mainstream media are now trying to hide the whole story, even the Daily Mail, which at first splashed it. The (((usual))) mob, of course. For example, the System scribbler Dan Hodges, usually prolific on Twitter/X, has not mentioned the case at all.

You see it whenever the Jew-Zionist lobby wants to cover up something (or amplify something, for that matter).

For example, when dishonest and incompetent solicitor, Mark Lewis was fined and censured by the Tribunal under the Solicitors Regulation Authority in 2018. At first, there was nothing at all about it in the msm, not prior to “trial”, and nothing afterwards but Jews complaining about how “unfair” the process and sentence had been.

In fact, the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal bent over backwards to be fair to Lewis (now a wheelchair-bound invalid who lives in Israel much of the time) and even reduced his fine to a third or a quarter of what it would otherwise have been because Lewis’s own pro bono Counsel told the Tribunal that Lewis had no assets at all beyond his own clothes, a private pension worth £70 per week, and a used mobility scooter. No money in the bank. No real property. Nothing.

Even Lewis’s car (one adapted for invalids) was one provided to him via the DWP Motability scheme (until he crashed into someone and, after that, ceased to drive).

Ecce the great defamation lawyer…

The point is that the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby effectively controls or very strongly influences almost all those who scribble for newspapers, edit them, or own them.

I was just looking at Twitter/X. The Lola Salem/Gove matter is not mentioned by Dan Hodges, Andrew Neil, Robert Peston, BBC News, Sky News etc, you name it. News blackout.

Yes, the criminal matter is now sub judice, but even the bare facts of the matter that would be reportable are not in fact being reported.

[“Rupert Lowe has unveiled Restore Britain’s six point plan to overhaul the NHS, calling for an end to mass immigration and tougher controls on access to British healthcare.

The proposals include removing medical school admission caps, prioritising British medical professionals, recruiting exceptional overseas specialists, introducing penalties for missed appointments and expanding private sector involvement to cut waiting lists.

Lowe also wants free hospital parking, an end to foreign language translation services, the abolition of NHS DEI programmes, reduced bureaucracy and stronger accountability for senior managers.

He argues that the NHS must prioritise British patients and that immigration is placing unsustainable pressure on services. Restore Britain says a more detailed healthcare policy is being developed.“]

Should, but will not. The Kiev regime is a cabal-dictatorship.

Loonie.

[“A little park has a Tom cat who is fed by everyone. Last year, he was given the name Silent King. He neither fights with anyone nor has he seen anyone getting scolded. He sits on a parking chair and watches the people coming and going.
One day, a white kitten came to the park. She was very cute, but it turned out that she was blind. She kept bumping into things and didn’t react to sounds at all.

She didn’t seem very lively when she was alone, but she wasn’t lonely either.
The Tom cat noticed her and started staying close to her. Wherever he went, he would walk in front of her so that she would bump into him. He took good care of her.

He would lead her to wherever he was, adjusting his speed so she could follow properly.

Whenever he would go to the road’s other side, he would cover her with his body.

Whenever it rained, he would take the kitten to a safe place and then sit with her.

The vet confirmed that the kitten was blind by birth. If the Tom cat hadn’t been there, she would have died within a week.

People tried to separate the kitten to adopt her, but both of them kept crying.
That’s why it was decided that the community would keep both of them together.

Well, at least better than what the main System parties are offering.

Social-national Britain has to prepare to seize power without the formality of elections, the way things are going.

To destroy a whole city, its inhabitants, its animal population etc is a very bad thing to do, or have to do, but one wonders whether Europe really needs the city of Kiev at all.

When the state of Israel was created in 1948, a monster was born, created from the ghettoes, labour camps, and prisons of Europe as it was in or prior to the Second World War.

What is Gove afraid of? What are (((those))) behind Gove afraid of?

Good grief.

If that is really the Norwegian Ambassador to Ukraine, one finds it hard to characterize. An idiot, obviously. Decadent, presumably. I also find his age perlexing. I am, at 70 (last month), hardly young, and I do find ages hard to judge anyway, but that idiot looks like a schoolboy (and not a very intelligent one).

Holborn and St. Pancras by-election

A lot of chatter about this on Twitter/X and in the mainstream media. In fact, Labour were always likely to win it. Labour has held the seat since its creation in 1983, and the Labour vote has never dropped below 43.2% (in 2005); the peak was 70.1% in 2017, when Starmer was the candidate but (ironically) Corbyn was Labour leader. Starmer’s vote in 2024 was 48.9%. Yesterday’s Labour vote was 45.2%.

The nearest any challenging party has come to beating Labour there, until yesterday, was in the 1987 General Election, when the Conservative Party managed 31.1%.

On that basis, the Green Party 32.8% yesterday was a fairly good result, in fact, particularly in view of the fact that they only scored 10.4% in 2024.

The British nationalist parties never stood a chance. The non-white electorate in the constituency is about half of the total, and the official “white British” electorate no more than a third.

To stand in a by-election where you know that you are going to get less than 10% (or 5%) of the vote is utterly stupid, and gives the impression that you are a fringe or crank party.

Had I been the leader of any of those (conservative) “nationalist” parties, I should have boycotted the by-election and made known the reason why. In fact, that by-election is a laboratory test-tube showing why, as time goes by, there can be no serious electoral road for the (real) British people. The importation of tens of millions of non-whites has, in effect, killed not only free speech but also any (worthwhile) democracy in this country.

The main conservative-national parties standing scored only 5.9% (Reform) and 2.5% (Restore). The reason, I think, is that most of the white/English/British voted with their feet and boycotted this farce and circus of a by-election. Turnout was a fairly pitiful 38.8%, not that much more than a third of voters bothering to vote.

The Conservative Party vote was poor, about the same as in 2024 (around 7%). As recently as 2019, and previously, the Conservative vote was always in double figures in that constituency, and has been almost 30% further back in time.

Well, there it is. “Democracy” has spoken (we are told). The inhabitants of Holborn and St. Pancras now have an MP who is an ignorant Somali woman of some kind.

Cruel and unusual punishments

The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which Amendment was adopted in 1791, forbids “cruel and unusual punishments“. Like much of their Constitution, in practice it is a bad joke. Death by every slow and/or painful method: slow gassing, the electric chair (which can take 6 minutes of being, in effect, fried alive), and now the medicalization of capital punishment via the use of a series or cocktail of drugs, which sounds painless but is anything but. The latest ghastly farce in the USA just proves the point yet again.

I do not know why, if the Americans insist on retaining the death penalty, they do not simply give the convict a massive dose of morphine. I am not a medical man, but surely that would do the job quickly and painlessly? Maybe the American public, or many of them, would find that too painless and swift? Or is my medical knowledge incorrect? I cannot say for sure.

Of course, the Americans also use other punishments or methods not used in (?) other civilized states (shackling in transit etc).

I have seen a whole group of shackled prisoners in a Federal court building in the USA. All black. According to the F.B.I. agent standing with me, all murderers, and all lifers. A very sombre scene. All other people in the wide hallway stopped as the group, all handcuffed, all hobbled, all shackled in line together, passed through in total silence. As said, very sombre, and very sinister.

Speaking personally, I was always against the death penalty, and to some extent still am, but I see so many reports now in the UK of horrible murders and also rapes etc, that I think there may be a case for bringing back that penalty for some murders and other crimes, depending on the nature and quality of the defendants as well as the crimes. At least for a period of time. If so, using some quick method, possibly sometimes in public.

I notice that, in Belarus, a father who (with his equally wicked wife) starved, tortured, and finally killed his own 3-y-o son, was sentenced to death, which has been carried out in the manner prescribed by their law— Soviet-style, a bullet in the back of the head. The woman involved was sentenced to 25 years (probably without parole); apparently Belarus, like Texas long ago, never executes women.

What is more brutal, that Belorussian bullet, or what happens in the USA? Were I unfortunate enough to be in such a position, I should guess the American method(s), and so (if given the choice) might prefer the Soviet way of doing things…

I have only known one person, I think, who actually witnessed (at the scene, not on TV or online) an execution in the judicial sense. That execution was swift, consisting of a sword stroke cutting off the head in a split-second, and was carried out in public, in 1960s Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

[“A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

This is her story of giving gratitude.
A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition.
One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.

They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.

The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

May you be so fortunate …
To be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you
.

And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.“]

As previously blogged, nothing Trump says or does can be taken at face value. His remarks and actions usually have a “shelf-life” of a day; a week at best.

Fake “socialist” scribbler and “I’m from the North-East, me..” poseur Kevin Maguire (house in Richmond-on-Thames, holiday home in Devon, affluent wife etc) is one of the worst influences on current-affairs TV. Pro-migration invasion, anti-white European race and culture.

The question is not whether migration invasion will collapse our society, but when, and what will then ensue.

Actually, that anti-white Indian tweeter is wrong too: “asylum-seekers” (migrant-invaders) are not “demonized” for failing to work, but for coming here (uninvited) and staying here (also uninvited and unwanted).

(Many, probably most, though, are parasites, and always would be).

[“New €1 Million Package of Military Aid to Be Sent to Ukraine from Finland

The decision was made quickly in response to an urgent request from Kyiv. The package includes defensive equipment from the Finnish army’s reserves.

The total value of military aid provided by Finland to Ukraine has now reached €3.6 billion.

Don’t be discouraged if you spent money on “trivial things.” Remember, someone is spending money on Ukraine.“]

Would it be correct to sat that “the Third World War began not with a bang but with a whimper“?

[“Netherlands Admits Military Reserves Have Been Depleted Due to Aid to Ukraine

According to Military Watch Magazine, the Dutch Ministry of Defense has concluded that military assistance to Kyiv is undermining the combat readiness of the Dutch armed forces and making it more difficult for the country to fulfill its NATO obligations.

The ministry has declined to publicly disclose which NATO targets have been postponed or affected, or to provide details on the current combat readiness of individual Dutch military units. The admission highlights the growing tension between supplying Ukraine with military equipment and maintaining national reserves at levels considered necessary for a major conflict.

According to the ministry, by February 2026, the Netherlands will have provided Ukraine with approximately €11.7 billion in military assistance. The publication also claims that weapons stockpiles across NATO’s European members have been severely depleted, with shortages particularly affecting artillery ammunition, air-defense missiles, anti-tank weapons, and armored vehicles.

Europe is discovering the hard way that weapons sent abroad don’t magically regenerate back home. The bill for rebuilding those stockpiles could be just as serious as the bill for the aid itself.“]

[“Researchers at Stanford University say that, contrary to claims and expectations from the U.S. government and major business leaders, their independent analysis indicates that China could soon catch up with—and potentially surpass—the United States in the development of advanced artificial intelligence models.

The researchers argue that the gap between the two countries is narrowing rapidly, challenging the assumption that the United States will maintain a lasting lead in the global AI race.

The AI race is starting to look less like a marathon and more like a photo finish—with China closing the gap fast.“]

That is, I think, a signal that, should the European states get into a direct war situation with Russia, those European states will not be able to rely on American back-up.

She herself is neither English (that’s unarguable) nor, in any real sense, British. Her parents deliberately came to London for a few weeks so that she could be born in the UK and, as the law was in 1981, then be entitled later on to a British passport (that bad law was changed in 1982, so she only just scraped in before the portcullis was lowered). She then lived in Nigeria and the USA until she was 16 or 17. She is no more British than I am Nigerian.

Her children (who are of mixed-race) likewise.

That is a small taste of what the British people have coming down the tracks at them unless a social-national government, or one very similar, does not seize power pretty soon.

As already blogged…

Having said that, and incidentally, that AI-produced (?) picture of Kemi Badenoch in her supposed ancestral type of dress makes her look a lot better than usual. I have noticed in the past that black women usually look much better in that kind of colourful get-up.

Seems an underestimate anyway. Of course, the “small boat” arrivals are only ~5% of the whole migration invasion. Multiply those figures by about 20, and you get a better idea. Half a million to a million. Every single year.

Our society is already showing stress; by 2030, it may be showing clear signs of terminal stress.

Interesting. Had never seen, nor heard of, that.

Must add up to a massive amount. When I was a barrister, I drafted, at times, contracts for the transhipment of oil from the Middle East to black Africa. Each shipment was worth over USD $80M, and that was over 20 years ago. So maybe USD $150M today. If Iran is getting 20% of the value of every shipload, each one is worth perhaps USD $30M in “transit fees” to Iran. There might be several in a day even under present conditions.

[“Leonkov: Great Britain is gradually getting drawn into a direct conflict with Russia.

IF THERE IS A MAJOR ESCALATION, THE FIRST TARGETS WILL BE BRITISH FACTORIES THAT PRODUCE DRONES AND ROCKETS FOR KYIV.

Boris Johnson, who just the other day claimed he hadn’t started a war, has returned to his old tune: “We must continue bombing Russian oil refineries and power plants. Ukraine is on the verge of victory. Don’t slow down the sale of weapons (to Kyiv).“

Only three countries still believe that Ukraine is capable of confronting Russia: Great Britain, France, and Germany. However, even within those countries, voices are being heard that the conflict, in which Zelensky must remain in power until 2028, is costing them too much.

According to Western estimates, Ukrainian armed forces’ air strikes on Russia in July alone cost them $11 billion. Zelensky is spending a lot of money on these attacks, but his Western sponsors are not satisfied with the results. Everyone understands that Ukraine is losing.”]

There is no way of either proving or disproving my belief that “Boris” Johnson is getting paid large amounts offshore by the Kiev regime and (ipso facto) its backers (to promote the regime by promoting the Western support for it). It stacks up quite well logically, though, knowing what we know of the Kiev regime, its leading members, and the character of Johnson himself.
