The questions this week seemed harder than usual. Political journalist John Rentoul scored only 3/10, and I did little better— 4/10 (questions 2, 5, 8, and 9).

Justice done, on both sides.

Very true, but why leave out Cameron-Levita? Think facilitation of the fall of Gaddafi in Libya (which has been a major cause of the migration-invasion of Europe, certainly from Africa), and the demonization of the sick, disabled, unemployed etc (which admittedly started under Blair and Brown but was 10x worse under Cameron-Levita).

In fact, Brown was not much better, for all his fake “great brain” grandstanding.

As for Blair, he may have thought he knew what do do with power, but most, maybe 80%, of what he did was wrongheaded: PFI contracts, the deliberate importation of non-Europeans in large numbers, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the explosion in prices in the residential property sector etc.

Ha ha. Very true.

I must have missed the bit where fake Labour and fake Conservative parties and their clueless ministers showed us the benefit of such “skills and experience“…

I mean, we are talking about (in the present government) such as David Lammy, Angela Rayner, Liz Kendall, Rachel “from Accounts” Reeves etc— complete deadheads; and about (in previous governments over the past decade) Liz Truss, Kwasi Kwarteng —aka Woollyhead Trussbanger, Ian Dunce Duncan Smith, and others too numerous to list. A cavalcade of cretins.

Not that tweeter Victoria Freeman is completely wrong. A Reform UK government would/will be disastrous, true, but so are or have been, and would be, all the others. Only a credible social-national government can save this country and the rest of Europe.

I have noted several times on the blog the ever-more-voluminous reservoir of non-voters and their potential power. More than 40% of eligible voters did not vote in 2024. That may or may not increase to 50%. If any movement could capture that 40%-50%, it would very likely also capture another 30%, and so 70%-80% of the national vote. Our time will then have come.

Trump gave Zelensky a warning to negotiate with Russia, a warning not only verbal but given in real-life terms, by temporarily cutting off arms and ammunition. If Zelensky ignores the warning, shipments will again be interrupted, and may never restart.

Zelensky’s unwillingness to give Russia most of what it wants means that the war will continue until Russia prevails over all eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper), and that will eventually happen even if American armaments continue to be gifted to the Kiev regime.

This blog has always said that peace must be, and really can only be, on the basis below:

  1. Russia to rule Ukraine east of the Dnieper;
  2. Russia to rule Crimea;
  3. Russia to rule the littoral of the Sea of Azov, and the littoral of the Black Sea as far west as Odessa;
  4. Kiev and Odessa to be either “open cities”, i.e. neutral and ruled by their own inhabitants, or with co-dominium status, ruled jointly by Russia and a Ukrainian government based in Lvov.

Similar to freeloading and/or corrupt NWO/ZOG politicians on the American side of the Atlantic:

Were the UK to get closer to Russia, leave NATO, get rid of US air bases (inc. those falsely designated “RAF”), stop being “America’s poodle”, and drop the stupid anti-Russia sanctions, the UK could probably get oil and gas at cost from Russia, maybe even at a subsidy. All that, and a guaranteed market for British goods and services.

Britain could keep and even expand its nuclear weapons submarine fleet, but now under full British control, nothing to do with the Americans.

The ridiculous woman on the video was, apparently, the Editor of the Daily Mirror. No wonder few still read that shite anymore. The circulation, once in the millions, is now 190,000, and dropping fast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Mirror#2004%E2%80%93present.

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Phillips.

Incidentally, under her editorship (2018-2024), that comic went from having a circulation of about half a million to its present poor state. I do not “blame” her alone; her kind of System scribbling is just dead and gone, really.

Once “they” control any country, or area, or field of activity, they start to monopolize it. Fact. Historical fact.

Interesting. As a barrister in London, I used to get briefed by the PKK “back in the day” (early/mid 1990s), though there was nothing ideological in it; one brief just led to another after a couple of early and unexpected successes.

Britain’s battle-ready troops consist of maybe 10,000 personnel, it seems. The Kiev regime is losing 500-1,500 every day. So if the UK sends troops to Ukraine (which might trigger direct full-scale war with Russia if the story is true, which I doubt, what happens after a couple of weeks or so, when most of those Brit troops are dead, badly-injured, or captured?

Even in the world of the “British” Lugenpresse, which is mostly owned by the “you-know-who”s and prints rubbish most of the time, the degraded Daily Express stands out as truly ridiculous.

Well, don’t come here!

From the horse’s mouth.

A state founded on terror, and populated mainly by the sweepings of the ghettos of pre-1945 Europe. Now attracting psychotics, sub nom “settlers”, from places such as Brooklyn.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

[“Britain is a tinderbox right now. You can literally feel it. People are a lot angrier, a lot more frustrated, a lot more disillusioned than Westminster thinks. Years of lying to –and gaslighting– the British public about our borders and mass immigration have eroded public trust and undermined the social contract. And now Keir Starmer’s farcical small boats “deal” is just going to make all this so much worse. As I explain below, this is not a serious plan for fixing our borders. It is an exchange programme for illegal migrants. It is an insult to the hardworking, law-abiding British majority. We don’t want “one in, one out” We want “none in, all out” If you break our laws, you should never be allowed to remain in the country. It really s that simple We want an end to broken borders We want an end to mass uncontrolled immigration We want an end to British families being forced to pay billions each year for an immigration crisis our elected politicians refuse to fix And we want all of that. Now.”]

Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10. I scored 9/10. I did not know the answer to question no.9 and, if truth be known, merely guessed no. 5 (it was the one I had in the back of my mind, though, when I saw the question). Question 1 has four or five possible “correct” answers; I knew one of them.

Exactly. Another Starmer-Labour trick. Exactly what we do not want— non-Europeans with Irish passports. That includes the mainly Irish “tinker”/”traveller” rabble, who admittedly are ethnically European, indeed Irish by origin, but often are also predators and scavengers, and parasites.

[“Exclusive: Rachel Reeves has warned cabinet ­ministers that tax rises in the autumn budget are likely to prove even more challenging than the £40 billion ­package she imposed in November The chancellor told cabinet on Tuesday that the decision to abandon welfare reforms meant taxes would have to rise to cover the cost She said the rises in her first budget, which included a £24 billion increase in employers’ national insurance contributions, were ‘painful’ but were the ‘low-hanging fruit’ Tax rises in the autumn are likely to be smaller than last year’s but she is still expected to have to raise tens of billions of pound. Reeves told ministers that would be a ‘big challenge’ given that she has limited options Ministers have been told that the spending review will not be reopened, meaning the bulk of any shortfall will have to come from tax rises Economists have warned that the scale of the hole in the public finances means that she may have to break ­Labour’s manifesto pledge not to ­increase income tax, national insurance or VAT. There are also suggestions that she could raid pension savings, which was rejected before the last budget Allies of Reeves say Labour rebels will have to ‘own’ the tax rises after they killed off welfare reforms. https://thetimes.com/article/9466ce73-ea71-4025-bd4e-bddbaf538d7b“]

That Jew, Finkelstein, now (absurdly) in the House of Lords, used to tweet to people who retweeted me (I was expelled from Twitter in 2018 after a concerted campaign by numbers of Jew-Zionists), demanding or “requesting” that they not retweet me.

How “typical”, though; Finkelstein supports mass immigration, i.e. invasion, of this country.

A couple of rounds from a police pistol would have punctured the boat as effectively. About 30 would have prevented another attempt. Extrapolate at leisure…

The British people are confused, exploited, stamped upon, invaded, frightened, and do not know where to turn. This is the moment when a real social national party and/or movement could make hay. Sadly, there is none.

About half of all Jews in the world live in Israel, the rest in a number of other states.

A rather nice Chevy Suburban. I wanted to get one of those a few years ago, but they are expensive when sold new in the UK; there are almost none used on sale, and actually they are not so convenient either, being heavy on fuel consumption and also rather outsize for roads and (especially) the cramped parking places in this country. The same is true of the Lincoln Navigator, though there are usually a few used ones for sale in the UK at reasonable prices.

Not that I am a car buff. I only had a driving licence from age 42, and for me the appropriate phrase would be “a second-class ride is better than a first-class walk“…

Well, as we know, the Jewish/Israeli tail wags the American/U.S. dog.

Surely the time has come for Russia to end this awful war by rolling over all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper. Looks like the window of opportunity is, or soon will be, there. Finish the conflict, drive out Zelensky’s cabal from Kiev, then rebuild in co-operation with the peoples of Eastern Ukraine.

Perhaps Woody Allen will make a film about it.

Radek Sikorski is a long-term NWO/ZOG insider. Look at his background and connections: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rados%C5%82aw_Sikorski; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rados%C5%82aw_Sikorski#Early_life_and_education; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rados%C5%82aw_Sikorski#Personal_life; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rados%C5%82aw_Sikorski#Minister_of_Foreign_Affairs_(2023%E2%80%93present).

Sooner or later, the inhabitants of Central Israel will wake up to a big bang. Or maybe not wake up.

Gaza and the fragmented West Bank are now being further “ethnically cleansed” by Jews.

“They” leave their victims with nothing, not even a few percent of the land that, a century ago, belonged entirely to the victims they have killed, driven out, or cheated.

Seems very unlikely to me. Rutte was a business executive [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rutte], and really should leave grand strategy to others.

Interesting. Similar communities are springing up all over the USA, in Germany, and elsewhere.

“They” were behind the rigged Nuremberg “trials”. Perhaps that is a precedent that, one day, will be revisited.

Once Tice, Farage, Matt Goodwin etc have junked Lab and Con, the national revolution may finally start, swallowing them up too.

Looking at it globally, there is only one solution, overall.

Britain in 2025.

We need a society which draws on, inter alia, the more positive aspects of socialism, private enterprise, National Socialism, Grail Christianity, and New Age philosophies, in particular Anthroposophy (etc).

A very different kind of society.

We also have to “take out the rubbish”, even if that means doing things on a large scale which we might prefer to avoid.

Whatever it takes…

Morning thought

Saw a few minutes of some TV propaganda piece featuring Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves. She is so much of a robot that she puts previous political robots, such as “the Maybot” (Theresa May) into the shade. Rachel Reeves strikes me as a human tick-box, most of the time. There seems to be nothing in between a robotic impression and a meltdown impression, as seen in the Commons yesterday.

Many years ago, I wanted to visit Sukhumi, a small resort in Abkhazia, north of Adzharia , which resort was developed under 19thC Tsarist rule, but unfortunately there was considerable civil war damage after the collapse of the Soviet Union; at any rate, I never did go there; neither have I ever been to Batumi, an autonomous part of Georgia.

According to Electoral Calculus, that translates into a Commons with 363 Reform UK MPs, Labour 129, LibDems 69, SNP 29, and Cons 25 (Greens 7, Plaid Cymru 5 etc).

Cons once again in notional 5th place. Near-terminal.

I imagine that, in that situation, Reform could offer most of the remaining Con MPs a home, were they willing to defect. On the other hand, why would Reform even bother, already having a fairly large majority on those polling figures?

It is now probably only a matter of time before the Russian side can achieve a significant breakthrough, and then roll over the whole of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, leaving open the questions of Kiev and Odessa (which should be open cities, probably), and allowing the Ukrainians to maintain a non-belligerent rump state centred on, presumably, Lvov.

Same situation exists in the UK in respect of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, a pack of malicious, lying, perjuring Jew-Zionists. Effectively a volunteer offshoot of the Israeli Embassy in London (albeit that some of them are paid out of large funds donated from wealthy Jews in the UK, and from Israel), they make unfounded and untrue allegations to police, professional regulators, and others (eg the Crown Prosecution Service), and try to close down venues hosting anyone supposedly “antisemitic”. Glastonbury is their latest large target.

Latest example? Published by the malicious “CAA” cabal only this morning:

A new day, and a new attempt to (as “they” themselves put it) “ruin” someone they call “antisemitic”

Does that mean that malicious liar Falter, and others, will be leaving the UK, and going to Israel (or the USA or elsewhere)? We have seen many such “threats” before from others, but they rarely seem to actually go…

[“Israeli Newspaper, regarding impact of Iranian missiles:

The shortage of Arrow missiles poses an increasing threat to the home front, as the fall of an iranian missile in a populated area could cause economic damage estimated at no less than 300 million shekels, according to Ministry of Defense estimates. The mayor of Bat Yam stated that a missile falling in his city left “the largest destruction site in Israel since its establishment,” noting that the explosion destroyed approximately 160 dunams and damaged about 120 buildings, including 20 buildings that were completely destroyed, killing nine people. He added: “And all this from just one missile.”

The cost of producing the most advanced generation Arrow missile is 12 million shekels, which is a huge amount, but the problem is not the price. What matters is filling the stockpile, because you do not press a button to get an interceptor missile.

At the heart of the current dispute lie interceptor missiles, particularly “Arrow 3 and 4.” These missiles are an extremely important means of countering missile attacks. International media reported concerns about a shortage of them, after the Iranians posed a major challenge to the Israeli defense system. According to security sources, all relevant parties in the Ministry of Finance have been informed of this, but the required budget has not yet been transferred.“]

Opinion polls supposedly ask questions of a representative sample of the population. Only about 80% of the UK population is now white/European. That suggests that pretty near 100% of real Brits want those predators, scavengers, and parasites, expelled or otherwise eliminated.

Of course, standards of education in the United States have always been poor. In the Second World War, German Military Intelligence officers were dumbfounded to discover, after the Normandy Landings of 1944, that many American military units were regularly supplied with comic books for the troops’ reading matter.

Anyone who has lived in the United States will be aware at what a rock-bottom level is the education and general knowledge even of many of those at university graduate or professional levels.

Unfortunately, that is also slowly becoming more true of the UK than it was in the past.

[“More evidence that the NHS and ambulance service is unfit for purpose. This afternoon, I was walking through Huntingdon (Cambridgeshire) on my way to the station when I heard a thud and a scream behind me. I turned round to see that a woman had fallen on the broken paving stones and was writhing in pain. I and the owner of a nearby tattoo parlour went to assist. The woman was complaining of pain in her arms, legs, and left hip. She was in shock and very distressed. She said she didn’t feel she could get up, even with assistance. Her breathing was laboured. Fearful that she may have fractured her hip or limbs, and fearful of trying to move her, we agreed to call 999. Tattoo man made the call while I cleaned blood from her hands, comforted and reassured her. The call handler informed him that “a clinician will review the case and may call you back in the next four hours” (!) I take the phone, explain the woman is flat out on the pavement, can’t move, may have broken something, is in shock, and crying out in pain. I insist that we can’t just leave her on the hard pavement for 4 hours in the hope of a clinician deciding if an ambulance is needed, and that she needs to be checked out at the hospital asap. Any delay might exacerbate her injuries. Call handler says she is following protocol and that this ” is the most appropriate action”. I disagree, explain again that the woman has fallen on a concrete surface and can’t move, and her breathing is laboured, but it’s clear call handler won’t budge. The call ends with call handler telling me to shield the woman from the sun! Er… how? “Put a coat over her.” It’s 34C, and she’s telling me to procure a coat… I hang up, and after 5 mins, redial. A more switched on call handler responds this time. Ambulance arrives in about 8 mins. Had I not made that second call, the woman would have remained on the pavement for hours. The lady is now back at home.“]

Shocking, and a similar incident happened near me, at the local Waitrose, I think 2 years ago. By the time I passed by, the victim was already being attended to by Waitrose staff and some others, either her family or stray customers. I naturally assumed that an ambulance would be there before too long. In fact, Waitrose people told me the next day that an ambulance only arrived after 4 hours.

Having said that, I have also seen some sterling work both by ambulance paramedics and other NHS staff, but that is what happens in gradual societal collapse— it is indeed gradual, not the same everywhere, rather hit and miss.

Britain is not collapsing overnight, or in one year, or even in one decade. This is characteristic. When the Soviet Union eventually collapsed, and that took several years (some would argue, decades), the momentum of habit kept things running normally in places, even as near-chaos happened elsewhere.

I recall seeing a TV news piece from the BBC (I think) in the early 1990s about Yeltsin’s post-Soviet Russian society. I myself had already been there, in 1993, though not for long and only in and around Moscow.

In that news report, we saw a uniformed lady in some small place outside Moscow. She was the station-mistress of a very small railway station, just a halt really. Despite not having been paid at all for four years (!) she still kept the station clean, planted and weeded the flower troughs, and was there for most of the arrivals and departures during the day.

Was it Aristotle who said that civilization was immanent, something inherent, or inborn? Maybe it was St. Thomas Aquinas. Ah…looking now at Wikipedia, it seems not; quite the reverse, in fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanence.

Never mind. My point here is that people often go on doing their duty even as society decays and collapses. Some people, anyway.

The NHS is a bit of a touchstone in the UK. For some, it is unique, envied worldwide, the greatest development of Britain, ever, and staffed by wise medics, angelic nurses, and public-spirited support staff. For others, it is a giant waste of money, badly-organized, and run largely for the benefit of its own employees. Examples of all of the above can be found, even in the same hospital or relating to the same patient’s care, and easily enough.

The same with society generally. Parts of UK society can be seen, even today, as advanced, optimistic, worthy of admiration. Other parts of our society can, equally objectively, be seen as horrible, toxic, and worthy of being eradicated, exterminated.

A process such as the development, or decline, of a society cannot easily be seen fairly or accurately by people who themselves are within that process. cf. the “Fall of the Roman Empire”, a complex process that took place over hundreds of years.

Nevil Shute, quoting T.S. Eliot, put it well at the end of his once-famous novel On the Beach (as a child of 10-13 in 1960s Australia, I noticed that almost every house had a copy): “...this is how the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper“. Gradual mortality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Beach_(novel).

I live only 15-20 miles from Southampton (depending on route etc). Alien, in several ways. As for Reading, I was born there (in 1956), but when I last saw it, some 18 years ago, 2007 I think, both the central parts and some of the outlying parts to the east had changed out of all recognition, though the area where I spent part of my childhood and part of my teenage years, Caversham Heights (on higher ground on the other side of the river from the main town) had not changed very much.

The Kiev regime is losing 1,000-2,000 soldiers daily, perhaps more (especially if you include medivac cases and desertions) . That is a rate of attrition that must lead to the collapse of the front-line before very long.

Rachel Reeves. Hateful woman. Member of Labour Friends of Israel. Thought she was so tough as she hit those she thought unable to defend themselves— pensioners, the sick, the disabled etc.

That horrible woman even contributed to a Jew-Israeli propaganda book about Auschwitz.

Ha ha…

As a confirmed “supporter” (near-agent) of Israel and the Jewish lobby, Rachel Reeves has no interest in the dead of Gaza (or the poor of the UK, come to that).

Labour is just a label now. In fact, one of its least impressive MPs, Jess Phillips (an expenses cheat, freeloader, and moneygrubber) admitted as much several years ago.

Rachel Reeves and her husband, combined, are dragging down a total of about half a million pounds a year.

I should love to see her lose her Commons seat too. 2029?

(i.e. the Israelis, and Jewish-Zionist interests generally).

My advice to her is to get on your broomstick and fly far away, until you are forgotten (should take a few weeks).

I love it when one of those smug, moneygrubbing, freeloading, careerist, pro-Jewish-lobby (even better) System MP drones is toppled, and crashes to oblivion (as Rachel Reeves surely will).

Had I a button that would send Reeves (and the entire Starmer-stein misgovernment, and the fake “Conservatives”, and some others) into orbit, I would not just press it, but make a fist and bang on it like Khrushchev did at the UN.

It follows that I have not one atom of sympathy, fake or other, for her. Au contraire.

Yes to more English/British children, but no to more children from non-whites resident in the UK.

Even that does not tell the whole story, because quite a high proportion of the grandmothers, or grandfathers, or both, of the remaining 66% are in fact also non-white, non-European.

About 1,600 babies are born daily in the UK. Only about 400 of those are actually English/British, or fully English/British.

8 out of 10 of those countries are very backward, and so are most of the people. As for “Romanians“, I would be prepared to bet that most, the vast majority, are not real Romanians at all but Roma Gypsies.

Refer to earlier comment. The real figure, i.e. children born to wholly or partly non-white English/British parents and grandparents is nearer to 70% now.

USG” = “U.S. Government”. As for Russia’s economy “starting to creak”, has Steele taken a look closer to home recently? UK, EU states etc…

Steele [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Steele] was an officer of SIS/MI6 1987-2009 who, in more recent times, has worked in the private sector, and has been involved, inter alia, in preparing “black propaganda” dossiers of doubtful veracity targeting Trump and others, and Russian interests generally. He cannot now conveniently travel in either Russia or the USA, and is believed to live and/or have property in Surrey, south-west of London.

According to Wikipedia etc, Steele acted as a paid FBI source between 2014-2016, and was paid around USD $100,000 in toto.

In my opinion, probably not at all reliable.

As an outsider, not involved in secret activities, I have always been sceptical of the value of the SIS/MI6 apparat. I still am. Where are the successes? (and it is no answer to reply that they have to be kept secret).

Looking at Steele’s tweet, I might bat back at him the same question, but about his own activity— cui bono?

I have just looked at a few recent tweets by Steele. He is, it seems to me, in danger of becoming obsessed by the idea of Trump as Russian secret (or not-so-secret) agent.

Reminiscent of those SIS/MI6 and MI5 oddities of the 1960s and 1970s (Peter Wright, Stephen de Mowbray etc) who were convinced that the D-G of MI5, Roger Hollis, and others (including the Prime Minister, Harold Wilson) were Soviet agents: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Wright_(MI5_officer); and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_de_Mowbray; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Hollis.

Using Electoral Calculus, that would suggest Reform 276 MPs, Labour 199, LibDem 73, Cons 47, SNP 24. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Reform has probably fallen back a bit by reason of two factors: its kneejerk pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby pronouncements, and the perception (seen in comments by pro-Reform Matt Goodwin, as well in some by Tice etc) that Reform wants to radically cut back the Welfare State.

As for the Conservative Party, probably damaged beyond repair now. 14 years of terrible misgovernment in almost all if not all areas, and now “led” by hopeless Nigerian woman Kemi Badenoch.

[“I loathe disability cuts full-stop from any party, what an absolute disgrace. But let’s be quite clear, Tories are opposing them BECAUSE THEY DON’T GO FAR ENOUGH. That is an appalling position to adopt, unpopular & mad, look at how the public’s reacted to Labour’s plans! I’d almost respect that despicable position more if they at least backed Labour’s intention to bring welfare bills down, it looks more principled – if you believe in disability cuts which dear lord I don’t. So Labour want to bring in horrific cuts, Tories (and Reform) want deeper cuts but Tories will oppose even though they agree with the mission but think it’s underpowered. Beyond unprincipled. The vote tonight reveals an all-round shitshow of cruelty, cynicism and performative opposition. No wonder voters despair.“]

The only thing that makes System MPs afraid is […COMMENT REDACTED because the UK no longer has much freedom of speech…].

That is because Starmer-stein and his cabal are not really a Labour government, except in terms of label; they are a Labour Friends of Israel regime. Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, all of that rubbish lot.

High Peak is an unfortunate constituency. First they had Conservative Friends of Israel MP Robert Largan (2017-2024), now they have Labour Friends of Israel MP Jon Pearce (2024-). The difference is mainly the party label.

What price “democracy” when, whomsoever you vote for, you get a Friends of Israel drone?

What a nice idea…

More seriously, Basic Income is the way forward. Akin to Pension (Guarantee) Credit, but rolled out to every (real) English/British citizen (i.e. not fuzzie-wuzzies straight off the boats).

95% or more of the vulgarly-named “Jobcentres” could be shut down, 99.99% of the ludicrously-named “job coaches” etc (most of whom are probably otherwise unemployable themselves) could be dismissed; huge numbers of buildings could be shut down, saving billions.

Liz Kendall. Stephen Timms. The two most immediately guilty individuals, followed by Rachel Reeves, Starmer-stein, and then all the MPs who vote for these evil disability cuts.

Quite. It is the hypocrisy emanating not only from Liz Kendall etc but also from the evil Conservative Party MPs such as Ian Dunce Duncan Smith that is so nauseating.

Also, where is the understanding about how automation, computers, now AI too, already affect and will increasingly affect employment? Marx (arguably) started the ball rolling on that (discussion of the effects), and that was 150 years ago.

Who needs prisons, when walls and squads are available?

Jon Trickett, born in 1950, comes from an era when the Labour Party, for all its flaws, still had weight and at least some integrity. That was then…

Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves, Starmer-stein, Timms. Others. All guilty. I am “not allowed” (in our “free country”) to say what I think should happen to them, but I know what I think, and I think a lot of other people are thinking the same…

Diary Blog, 30 June 2025, including thoughts around the decaying remains of the one-time Soviet city of Vorkuta, Northern Russia

Morning music

[The high country of Shropshire]

Vorkuta

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

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

https://meduza.io/en/feature/2020/01/27/europe-s-easternmost-city

I have only ever met one person who has been to Vorkuta, and his was an involuntary visit that lasted for many years; a Pole sent there as a young man, I think in or about 1940, along with many others. I believe that he somehow survived a decade there, and was eventually repatriated to his family in Bielsko-Biala, south-west Poland. Maybe about 65 when I met him and his family in 1988, he was a bit of a tough guy, and he must indeed have been tough, in more youthful days, to survive for 10 years as a prisoner and slave-labourer in Vorkuta.

Looking at that film (above), I am again struck by the harshness and brutality that humans can inflict on each other, but also by the incredible resilience and ability to create that humans have.

Vorkuta, like other cities in inhospitable areas and harsh climates (Magadan, Norilsk etc) which were wholly a product of the Stalinist period of the Soviet system (Vorkuta did not exist even as a hamlet until the 1930s), had at one time (1960s, 1970s, 1980s) a real city life, with a railway station, buses, an airport, a city theatre, hospitals, cinemas, sports centres, even a symphony orchestra; also, some fairly impressive-looking official buildings.

[Mining College, Vorkuta, northern Russia, built in the late 1940s or early 1950s); date of photo uncertain, possibly 1990s]

[street in central Vorkuta (date uncertain: possibly 1980s, possibly 1990s)]
[Vorkuta: the now-seemingly-abandoned and ruined Palace of Culture at Severny, an offshoot of Vorkuta. A local arts and culture centre, complete with dilapidated statue of Lenin in front; building probably dating from the 1950s, but photograph dating from 2020]

Vorkuta had, at one time, 115,000 inhabitants. The real population is now thought to be well below 50,000, perhaps as low as 30,000.

My point is that civilization is not a simple continuum. Rudolf Steiner, Valentin Tomberg etc have described human evolution as a staggered spiral. There can be breaks in the spiral. Civilizations or cultures arise, but also decay and disappear. Amazing places can be created and built out of “nothing”, but those same places can fall to pieces and disappear even from memory and/or from recorded history.

The beautiful city of St. Petersburg was created from swamp and forest by the vision, in origo, of one man, Peter the Great, and still exists, now with millions of inhabitants (it is commonly said to be the 4th or even 3rd-largest city in Europe, depending on whether Istanbul is accepted as European). On the other hand, famous Sparta left almost nothing behind it but memories become history. Troy was, for many centuries until its site was rediscovered in the 19thC, thought to be not even legendary but mythical. New York City was created from “nothing”, from the 17thC onward, and still exists, yet the huge cities which once existed in Mexico and Central America and elsewhere have either disappeared or been supplanted (as at Mexico City) by very different successors.

Vorkuta was built on brutality and suffering, but then so was Petersburg…

The world, particularly Europe but also the Middle East, North America, Russia, stands in peril from massive and probably nuclear war. The cities of the West and Centre of Europe also stand in peril from internal strife caused mainly by migration invasion by backward hordes from other parts of the world. Our present overall culture and civilization may not survive the 21st Century, not in their current forms.

We should all be thinking about these matters and about how to salvage as much as possible of our present advanced culture and civilization, should that become necessary.

The Bar is riddled with traitors. I should know; until a pack of Jews procured my (wrongful and actually unlawful) disbarment in 2016, I myself was a barrister, and saw how corrupt and also stupid the whole system is.

The Bar of England and Wales is now, more or less, a dustbin.

Rare but not unprecedented. Israeli orgs, usually Shin Beth, have arrested Jews and others in the past on espionage charges; people accused of being agents of the Soviet Union, then Russia; also for Arab states.

Another Israeli war crime.

[“Why do we say that Israel was crushed by Iran’s strikes? A prominent American analyst answers! “The United States was forced to intervene to prevent Iran from destroying Israel.”

Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst: “Many people don’t realize that Israel was perhaps one or two weeks away from total defeat. Some say, ‘Oh, you’re just repeating Iranian propaganda.’ Well, then listen to me…”

“Israel has two seaports, and Iran closed them, so there was no sea traffic. Iran also destroyed two oil refineries — in Haifa and Ashdod — or disrupted their ability to produce fuel. Iran closed Israel’s only international airport.“]

So why the ceasefire? Israel will use it to regroup, resupply etc.

Looks like I missed out in a big way on my two visits (1993 and 2007) to Moscow! In some ways, at least… Still, they were business trips (mainly).

Having said that, there were huge changes visible in 2007 as compared to 1993, and it seems clear that the changes since 2007 have been at least as great.

Letting existing sick and disabled people continue to receive help, but cutting off help (income) from similar people in the near future, ismorally wrong“, in my view. That is almost unarguable, surely?

That is the MP for Normanton and Hemsworth in Yorkshire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Trickett; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normanton_and_Hemsworth_(UK_Parliament_constituency).

Trickett cannot be bullied by Labour whips. He is already 74, so unlikely to contest another general election in 4+ years’ time. Also, he got over 47% of the vote in 2024, with Reform UK second on 29%. If deselected, he could, should he so choose, stand as Independent Labour, and so either win or let in Reform, which may have a good chance anyway.

Starmer-stein is too busy complying with whatever Israel and the UK Jewish lobby want done to actually do anything positive for this country or its (real) inhabitants.

So much of the msm/entertainment industry/music industry etc is in the hands of Jewish persons, and (as the Jew-Zionist orgs constantly remind us) about 95% of Jews in the UK support Israel, support the war in Gaza, the attacks against Iran (etc).

Even the Jewish anti-Zionist jazz musician, Gilad Atzmon, was targeted and persecuted by Zionist Jews, and his shows attacked or cancelled, to the extent that he eventually had to relocate out of the UK, to Greece: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilad_Atzmon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilad_Atzmon#The_Wandering_Who?

For once, I have to agree with O’Brien. The fact is that the Jew-Zionist element in Israel, in Palestine generally, and also in countries such as the UK and USA, France, Germany etc, is out of control. “They” have grabbed both influence and direct power, and are abusing that influence and power.

[“The underlying discontent among rebellious and even loyal Labour MPs stems from what many would say is a pathetically late discovery: that what’s driving so much government policy is Rachel Reeves’s fiscal rules and the absolute power of the Office for Budget Responsibility in determining whether she is breaching those rules or not. Any illusion that this isn’t the single most important driver of government decision-making was shattered today by the revealed contradiction between its establishment of a supposedly fundamental review led by disabilities minister Stephen Timms to shape new criteria for awarding Personal Independence Payments, while nonetheless sticking with the contradictory stipulation that from November next year no one will be eligible for PIP if they don’t score four points on one of PIP’s existing criteria. It is absurd and illogical to characterise Timms’s review as the face of humane reform while simultaneously saying that this new four-point rule based on existing criteria will willy-nilly come into effect next year. So what’s really going on? The work and pensions secretary’s unspoken reason for sticking to the four-point reform is that without it, and under the OBR-assessed fiscal rules, Reeves would have to fill a £5bn hole in her finances in the autumn’s budget, and not the £2.5bn hole created by Kendall’s partial welfare-reform climb down. That is a big difference when it comes to any taxes Reeves may have to raise or any spending she may have to cut. So a growing number of Labour MPs see this subservience to the OBR and the fiscal rules as just the stupidest motivation for making today’s decisions that affect the lives of the most fragile of UK citizens – decisions that will, on the government’s own calculations, shift 150,000 vulnerable people into poverty. These MPs were bitten once by the OBR dog when Reeves chose to means-test the winter fuel allowance as proof of her fealty to the OBR’s jurisdiction over her own fiscal rules. With the disability reforms, many of them now feel twice shy. They don’t ask why a Labour government respects the OBR, especially after the Truss/Kwarteng fiscal debacle caused by their disrespect for the OBR. But they do question why the Chancellor and Treasury endow the OBR with an almost mystical ability to determine which policies are sensible and why Reeves has seemingly abdicated responsibility for trying to sell the government’s initiatives to the country’s creditors independently of the OBR and fiscal rules straitjacket. So whatever the outcome of the vote tomorrow on the welfare reforms, Reeves and Starmer are now under enormous pressure – probably irresistible pressure – to lose their OBR religion.“]

That bastard Timms again…

I think that people are generally awakening to the fact(s) that this is only a Labour government in terms of label. Labour-label. In reality, a Labour Friends of Israel government (misgovernment).

Better tap the American taxpayer again…

I am surprised that Iran has (apparently) not thought of using 1980s-style Soviet-engineered atomic “suitcase bombs” in both the USA and Israel. The original ones were powerful enough to destroy anything within a radius of about 1-2 miles of the point of detonation.

Quite dispersed. At least 6 or 7 target zones. I have seen tweets suggesting nearly over 500 actual points of impact.

Remember Clausewitz. Concentration of forces. Schwerpunkt.

People generally are pretty tired of that whole hypocrisy of government saying that cuts to disability and other State benefits are somehow being “kind” or “caring”. Not so. At best, callous and aimed at “saving money” (which will then be really wasted, elsewhere). At worst, a refined form of cruelty and indeed sadism. Ian Dunce Duncan Smith, a fraud, an expenses cheat, and a total deadhead, was one of the first to do this.

In the end, some form of Basic Income, even if very modest, must be the way forward. End the bureaucratic nonsense of jumping through hoops, snooping, “assessments” etc.

Starmer-stein— no ideals, no ideas, no decency, no honesty. Just a freeloading, careerist, pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, little bastard. Utterly clueless and incompetent as well.

I too agree. As I blogged at the time of the Brize Norton incursion, had the MOD or RAF had even one dozy security guard or policeman, unarmed but awake, on duty, the protesters would have been scared off or, even if not scared off, easily detained or arrested within a few minutes, once back-up had been summoned.

Only the Jew-Zionist lobby (effectively saying what the Israeli Embassy says) is calling Palestine Action “terrorist”, when in fact they are just protesters utilizing direct action. If they damage anything, then charge them with criminal damage, not “terrorism”. That’s just ridiculous.

Fixing it? Starmer-stein’s little cabal of pro-Israel freeloaders is doing even worse, incredibly, than the brainless “Conservatives” during 2010-2024.

Mark Lewis, very far from the hotshot lawyer persona he has been “cosplaying” for many years, backed by other Jews in the mass media etc. A lawyer at best semi-competent, really quite incompetent, indeed professionally negligent, and utterly dishonest. In fact, just another Jewish fraud. Also, a malicious maker and facilitator of false complaints to police etc.

Ah. Interesting. Looks as though the numbers of alleged victims have been edited down. I thought that the Jews/Israelis were still claiming that about 1,000, or even 1,500, had been killed. Seems that (as happened at the “reconstructed” site of the early 1940s Auschwitz camp, where a “4 million victims” sign was officially altered to about a quarter of that figure), the 1,500 supposedly killed by Palestinian Arabs in southern Israel in 2023 is now 378, at least at the festival itself. The other hundreds of victims, if they existed at all, were presumably killed by the brutal Israeli armed forces themselves as “collateral damage”.

None of that, though, explains how the Israeli Jews (and those supporting them in the UK and elsewhere) think that the deaths of 378 Jews etc by a particular paramilitary/political group somehow justifies the killing by Israeli Jewish forces of anything up to 200,000 Palestinian Arabs, mostly civilian, mostly women and children (about half of the victims being under 18 years of age). Retaliation? Revenge? Blood lust? Cruelty and sadism?

The disproportion is incredible.

Bombing, white phosphorus bombing, flamethrower attacks, drone attacks, shooting, grenade attacks, cutting off of medical supplies, cutting off of food, cutting off of water, shooting people lining up for food and water.

“They” are still whining about (alleged) German actions 80-95 years ago, yet look at what is happening now in Gaza, the West Bank, Iran etc!

Of course, the Israeli Jewish game-plan seems to be to kill as many Gazans as possible, and to incarcerate the rest in concentration camps (under some such name as “safe areas”), so that Jews can colonize Gaza again.

I missed that ridiculous jamboree in Venice. Thankfully.

Bezos reminds me a bit of that Steve Jobs character [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs], another one who thought he was a kind of “master of the Universe”, but who died aged 56 of pancreatic cancer which first manifested itself when Jobs was 48.

A ceasefire merely permits Israel to catch its breath and to resupply.

[“Israel awakened a sleeping giant when it attacked Iran and this KEY stat proves it “The full magnitude” of Iran’s defense power “has yet to reveal itself,” with JUST A FRACTION of its potential revealed in the recent war with Israel, IRGC deputy commander for coordination Mohammad-Reza Naghdi said. “Less than five percent of our country’s defensive capacity was actually activated” in counterstrikes, the brigadier general revealed. “And by ‘activated’ I do not mean ‘spent’. It merely means that five percent of our defense units became engaged with the enemy.“]

Words. They may be true, they may not be true. We shall see.

That is one quite small area of a large city.

Monte Carlo— “a sunny place for shady people“, as Somerset Maugham remarked.

Too wide, arguably (see the full list). Central Tel Aviv, the Ben-Gurion Airport, and (not targeted, apparently) Dimona would be the prime targets.

Starmer-stein and his Cabinet and whips can hardly, at least credibly, threaten Labour rebels with deselection etc, when all present polling is suggesting that, come the next general election, only about 100-150 Labour MPs out of the present 403 will retain their seats anyway.

https://twitter.com/Timesofgaza/status/1939373211596030171

Another Israeli Jewish war crime.

Seems that even Labour MP-drones, some of them, have some residual decency, and are appalled by the flagrant indecency of the Israeli Jews killing mothers and babies, and the UK Government torturing and effectively killing the sick and disabled.

Or is all of that just a convenient way of dumping Starmer-stein and “Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves?

Surely, the American attack, preceded by the Israeli attacks, has sent a message to Teheran, and the message is “strike Israel and the USA in a way both will find absolutely devastating“. That would not be the intended message, of course, but I think that that is the message Teheran actually received…The Iranian response may not come for years but when it does, it will be something really game-changing.

Only one thing will stop “them”.

Whatever happens in the next months, in the long term Israel is doomed.

The Gaza quasi-genocide has exposed the Israeli Jews not only for what they have done but for what they are, at least as a collective.

I prefer peace to war, but just as there are, in ordinary life, some individual people, lunatics, psychopaths etc, who will not stop, and cannot be stopped, not by ordinary peaceful means, so there are some states which just go too far…

Most mainstream politicians in the USA, UK, France etc are in the pocket of Jewish-Zionist or directly Israeli orgs.

Russia or, rather, the Russian people, will eventually, in about 1,500 years, become the leading edge of the world, just as the Germanic/Anglo-American element now is. That may be why Russia cannot be successfully invaded from west or east (as in the cases of Napoleon and Hitler). The double-headed eagle looks both east and west at the same time.

Russia is not really either European or Asian, but sui generis.

There you are. That is the face of the UK armed forces in 2025. “Equality”, “diversity”, “best practice” in admin etc. Useless, in short.

Also, someone cannot spell (it’s “practices” in this case, not “practises“, unless, as a kind of American colony, we should all be writing in American English).

Still, when many “journalists” cannot spell, or write decently, why should some M.O.D. bod be any better?

I cannot know, but do suspect, that similar situations exist in the Army and Navy, and also in SIS/MI6 and MI5 (and, of course, in the police and CPS).

I cannot get too worked up about the Brize Norton attack, because for me the invasion of the UK is happening in small boats across the Channel, via “legal” immigration, and via births. I do not take “Britain’s defensive capability” against the (non-existent) “Russian threat” seriously, not in the slightest. Russia is only bristling because the UK is taking pointless and self-harming measures against Russia in the first place. We should be in loose alliance with Russia.

Having said that, it is clear that serious attackers, such as Spetsnaz commandos, would have no difficulty causing absolute havoc on such bases, should they ever be tasked with doing so.

The RAF Regiment usually defends RAF bases. What went wrong?

Britain’s dying rivers, and the need for new reservoirs

Our rivers are under threat,” said Nick Measham, the chief executive of the conservation charity WildFish. “We are putting extra demands on water resources when the rivers are running dry. When it does rain after persistent dry periods, we often return our water polluted, which means that river habitats for animals and plants are in serious trouble.”

Of course, the increase in population by reason of mass immigration is largely the cause. 56M when I was born (1956), and perhaps (no-one really knows) 70M today.

A rare voice of sanity.

Madness. The governments of the EU states and UK do not care at all about the welfare of their own citizens.

Ha ha! Jews are quite funny (without meaning to be) a lot of the time. It’s always “all about them”, in any and all circumstances. For example, Israeli Jews destroying every single hospital in Gaza is simply war damage, and really the fault of those being bombed, but if a hospital in Israel as much as has its windows broken, it’s some kind of evil “holocaust” (and so on…).

A few hundred cowardly Jews with dual nationality leaving their own (supposed) beloved country because they wish to avoid all risk is apparently the same as the 1940 Dunkirk evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force (my own maternal grandfather having been one of those taken off the beaches then) facing possible annihilation; and with the 1940-41 London Blitz thrown in as well! No wonder so many Jews are comedians…

Having said that, I believe that the lady tweeter is herself at least partly Jewish, but not (not completely, anyway) pro-Israel.

There used to be a saying, something about (I forget which creatures) leaving the sinking ship…

Oh, dear…what a pity… and only yesterday or the day before, I read that the shares on that stock exchange were rising fast, after Israel’s sneak attack on Iran. Life is so unexpected…

…and once the Israelis run out of ground-to-air missiles, Tel Aviv and other target areas will be almost undefended, and will be ground down (as Gaza has been), assuming that the Iranian missile barrages continue. According to the US/UK msm, that might be as early as one week from now.

So much for “Tel Aviv, the high-tech city with the booming economy“…It might soon be little more than a hole in the ground.

The Israelis hide weapons in hospitals, it seems, just as (they claim) Hamas did in Gaza.

“They” are a force for destruction, wherever they are.

Ecce the supposed “free democratic country” we hear so much about from our (UK, US etc) System politicians and msm…

People are always saying how wonderfully talented Fry is. I cannot see it, for all his fame, acting career etc. In Jeeves and Wooster, that wonderful adaptation of P.G. Wodehouse, Fry was admittedly very good as Jeeves, but Hugh Laurie was the star, really. In Gosford Park, Fry’s police inspector ruined, in my view, the atmosphere, by importing a kind of cheap comedy into the film. As for his film about Oscar Wilde, it was nowhere as good (or as historically accurate) as the 1960 film starring Peter Finch, The Trials of Oscar Wilde. Fry’s version (if I recall it aright— I have seen it, though long ago) almost completely expunged Wilde’s heterosexual side [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Wilde#London_life_and_marriage], and said little about Wilde’s life or views outside of Wilde’s obsession with Lord Alfred Douglas and various disreputable youths.

I knew a barrister who met Fry at a wedding, and said that he, the barrister, had been quite shocked at how “left-wing” (a term I myself rarely if ever use) Fry was. Said barrister was himself Labour, though of the John Smith “centrist” (?) tendency. Where Fry’s true sympathies lie is disputed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Fry. I am unsure whether he really has what might be called an ideology. He is, of course, half-Jewish.

Iran’s most deadly missiles may not be capable of interception.

It may be (speculating wildly, so be it) that the Iranians, often though not always noted for their subtlety, have been using their “pawns” (drones and slower missiles) as sacrificial pawns (as in chess), with the idea of exhausting the Israeli supply of ground-to-air defensive missiles. Then, when the Israelis run out of countermeasures such as Iron Dome and Arrow missiles, the Iranians will launch the real stuff…

That occurs to me as I recall the arguably most famous game of the Soviet chess grandmaster Mikhail Tal (a Jew, incidentally), who sacrificed almost every piece he had on the board, even his queen, in order to deliver the final brilliant and inescapable line of moves that led to checkmate (via a minor piece, at that). I think that that game was in 1968 or thereabouts.

Ah. Got it: “Tal vs. Vasily Smyslov, Yugoslavia Candidates’ Tournament 1959, Caro–Kann Defence (B10), 1–0.[33] A daring piece sacrifice to win a brilliancy prize“: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Tal. As I thought, it was against Smyslov.

Looks like my memory is still OK (though I got the date wrong)…

Chess is a rather comforting game. If I have leisure and time, and am not too occupied elsewhere, I should take it up again.

At last…

(of course, the Israelis may have secret back-up facilities elsewhere).

We must create the basis for a Northern European ethnostate.

The whole world is waking up (again) to “them”…

[“Retired US Army Colonel: “Israel’s situation is critical: the Iron Dome has turned into a sieve !” Douglas McGregor: “The situation in Israel is extremely grave. About a third of Tel Aviv is either destroyed or seriously damaged, and I am sure this trend will continue. I am told that a significant part of their aircraft has been evacuated from the country – many planes have been transferred to Cyprus to protect against attacks. Frankly speaking, Israel is in an extremely vulnerable and critical situation. Figuratively speaking, it is “hanging by a thread”. The missile defense and air defense systems will last only a few days. Those who are now in Israel describe to me that the Iron Dome has effectively become a “sieve” – it no longer provides protection.”]

Horrifying

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14822053/MPs-vote-decriminalise-abortion-law-change.html

MPs have voted in favour of measures to decriminalise women terminating their own pregnancies in the biggest change to the law on reproductive rights for half a century.

Women will no longer face prosecution for aborting their own baby for any reason and at any stage up to birth under the proposed legislation, which was backed by 379 votes to 137 on Tuesday night.”

[Daily Mail]

Horrifying. A form of infanticide or even murder, in lay terms. The deliberate killing of a completely viable foetus (which after all only means unborn baby). When you consider that it is commonplace for babies to be born days or even weeks prematurely, and then go on to thrive, this proposed law, which will obviously become law now, decriminalizes the killing of any unborn child, even if done only hours, minutes, seconds even, before actual birth, and for any reason whatsoever, so long as the expectant mother does the killing. Truly horrifying.

Not sure whether the new law will validate that, exactly, because the killing will (from what I have read, anyway) have to be by the mother to escape legal sanction.

More Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/17/dozens-killed-in-gaza-waiting-for-food-trucks-says-health-ministry

[“Witnesses have described scenes like “a horror movie” in Gaza after Israeli forces fired towards a crowd waiting for trucks loaded with flour near Khan Younis, on one of the bloodiest days for weeks in the devastated territory.

At least 51 Palestinians were reported to have been killed and hundreds more wounded in the southern city. People at the scene and doctors described seeing injured and dead with wounds typical of those caused by artillery or tank fire. Unverified video shared on social media showed about a dozen mangled bodies lying in a street.

Multiple other incidents of violence involving crowds of desperate Palestinians trying to get food were reported on Tuesday.

The Israeli military acknowledged firing in the area of the crowd in Khan Younis and said it was looking into the incident.

The IDF said it was aware of reports of casualties “from IDF fire.”

[Guardian]

What the Israeli Jews in uniform do is not so much a copy of what the German SS are alleged to have done in WW2 (there are no similar recorded instances, in fact) but a kind of horrific and ahistorical parody of what the Jews (Israeli and other) claim the SS were like.

Yet more Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/16/doctors-describe-carnage-iran-hospitals-israel-strikes

The stream of wounded in Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran had been steady since Friday. On Sunday evening it became a flood. A renewed wave of Israeli strikes on Iran’s capital overwhelmed the hospital’s emergency unit, turning it into what one doctor described as a “bloodbath”.

“It was a bloodbath. We were overwhelmed by chaos and the screams of grieving family members. Dozens upon dozens of people with life-threatening injuries, minor wounds and even bodies were brought in,” a doctor at the emergency unit of the hospital told the Guardian on Monday under condition of anonymity.

As fighting between Israel and Iran entered its fourth day, Iranian hospitals were receiving a surge of wounded people, overwhelming medical facilities and exhausted personnel. Medical staff described scenes of bloody chaos and an influx of injured people that has only seemed to grow as Israeli strikes increased in intensity.

I’ve seen toddlers, teenagers, adults and the elderly alike. Profusely bleeding mothers were rushing in with their children injured by shrapnel,” the doctor said, adding that some parents did not realise they themselves were injured until they put their children down.

[Guardian]

So…Israeli Jews killing children and others from the air. Of course, the Jews say that noticing such facts about their behaviour constitutes a so-called “blood libel”

Swifts

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/17/swifts-decline-uk-birds-swift-bricks

Swifts’ decline: how can Britons help these remarkable birds?

Campaigners are calling for compulsory ‘swift bricks’ in new homes to provide nesting sites.

What are swifts and why are they in trouble?

The swift (Apus apus) is an acrobatic aerial bird, a remarkable sprinter and endurance flyer that rarely touches the ground. When these sickle-winged birds do come down – after several years in perpetual flight, even sleeping midair – it is to nest in the eaves of roofs across Europe after spending winters in sub-Saharan Africa, migrating 7,000 miles (11,000km) every year. They are celebrated by nature lovers, artists and poets as they race through city skies on long summer evenings, filling the air with their screaming calls.

The fastest bird in level flight (top speed: 69mph/111kph), they feed on airborne insects. Swifts are in trouble because of steep declines in insects, but also because they are losing traditional nesting sites. Swifts once nested in caves and hollow trees but moved into buildings hundreds of years ago. Modern insulation, particularly in roofs, removes the crevices and cavities where they have nested for centuries.

What are the prospects for swifts?

Grim. Swift populations in Britain slumped by 66% between 1995 and 2022 and have continued a rapid downward trend. Since the last count of 59,000 breeding pairs, the population this summer is set to be just 40,000 pairs. In five years’ time there could be fewer than 25,000, unless action is taken.

A swift brick is a hollow brick that slots into the brickwork of new or old homes, providing a cavity where swifts can nest. The bricks have also been found to help other cavity-nesting birds, including the rapidly declining red-listed house martin, house sparrow and starling. Other species including blue tits, great tits, nuthatches and wrens will also nest in the bricks.

Swift bricks are made by brick manufacturers large and small, and typically cost about £35. There is a British standard for them and some developers are already fitting them to new homes.

The Israelis are not like us. They are alien. Their supporters in the UK should be deported and/or otherwise punished.

The Israelis claim, for foreign consumption, that Israel does not practise a form of apartheid, but it obviously does. This is only one of many examples.

Trump shows every sign of reverting to what he was 9 years ago— a squawking parrot surrounded on all sides by a phalanx of Jews.

Well, we shall soon know.

Had the Arabs (inter se) and Iranians not been so divided over the past 80 years, Israel would not now exist. Now look: one by one, the Israelis, via their influence over Washington, London, Paris, have had taken down for them all their surrounding potential enemies— Lebanon (invaded, part-occupied), Jordan (suborned), the Gulf Arabs and Saudis (suborned), Egypt (defeated and then suborned), Libya, Iraq, Syria etc. Only Iran and Yemen are left standing.

Even the way things are in the UK now, hard to believe that that is the “Deputy Prime Minister”.

Good news, if true, though possibly leaked by Israel and designed to push Trump into getting directly involved in bombing Iran.

“They” are manipulating the entire Western world.

(make that “40 years on…”)

You can never believe a word “they” say.

[“Official statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: The eleventh wave of the proud Operation True Promise 3, using the first generation Fatah missiles, marks the beginning of the end of the mythical air defense of the Zionist army, the confusion and self-destruction of the Zionist villains. We congratulate you, commanders and loyal fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force. Fattah’s powerful and maneuverable missiles, having penetrated the anti-missile shield tonight, repeatedly shook the shelters of the Zionist cowards and conveyed a message of Iranian strength to Tel Aviv’s military ally, which lives in illusions and empty dreams. Today’s missile strike showed that we have complete control over the skies over the occupied territories, and their residents are completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks.“]

Russia could, in theory, tell the United States that, should the US bomb Iran, Russia will bomb or rocket Israel. That would stalemate the situation, and stop the Americans from attacking Iran. It might also trigger WW3, though, and make “Armageddon” reality, both in Israel/Palestine and elsewhere.

However, Putin will not want to get Russia directly involved.

So far, Russia is winning all ways: the oil price is rocketing, gold is rocketing too, and Russia is one of the largest producer-states of both.

Also, Trump has apparently signalled to Zelensky and the Kiev regime that American military aid hitherto given to Kiev will be cut back, and priority given to the Middle East. That, as Russian forces press forward on all relevant sectors of the overall front.

In short, Putin is winning the geopolitical chess game.

Typical American ignorance. That cretin, Ted Cruz, is a U.S. Senator, and tipped by some as a potential U.S. President. It also just goes to show that having a load of degrees and endorsements does not mean that someone is really educated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz#Foreign_affairs.

Just another Israel/Jewish lobby puppet, of course.

You can see that Ted Cruz is a useless waste of space by just looking at him, or listening to him for a minute or two.

Different from other recent polls in that the Cons have edged ahead of Labour in terms of popular vote, though not enough to go ahead in terms of Commons seats; however, the Cons are seen there as the third-biggest party in the Commons, not, as in most other recent polls, fifth-placed. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Ah…

No comment necessary.

He says it with a straight face. Do “they” ever tell the truth?

If it is true that Israel will run out of ground to air missiles within a week, and if it is also true that Iran still has thousands of missiles of various types, then Tel Aviv really will soon start to look like flattened Gaza as those Iranian missiles rain down, unimpeded, onto their targets.

Stray thought

Amusing to see rubbish newspapers in the UK, such as the Daily Mirror, talking about what occupations might be exempt from conscription if WW3 were to start! In the nuclear age, when immensely powerful missiles can reach UK targets in minutes (I am told, maybe 8 minutes) from launch sites thousands of miles away…

I wonder how many people actually read and believe all this 1940-cosplay?

The fact remains that, in any continental-level war, with Russia on one side, and NATO states on the other, the UK would quite soon be a charred and irradiated giant bombsite. In that terrible scenario, the Daily Mirror, the other “lying Press” outlets, and warmongers such as Tobias Ellwood, would be among the first to go (whether with a bang or a whimper).

Alternative idea: Britain enters into loose alliance with Russia, leaves NATO, kicks the EU hierarchy to the kerb (while maintaining correct relations with all European powers and peoples), and stands opposed to fanatical Jewish Zionism, extreme Islamism, and all other negative influences in the world.

Iran is defending itself. Israel is the aggressor. Israel attacked without declaration of war and without any warning, and Israel drew first blood.

Whether guilty or not, they are probably not having a good day. I have no idea how efficient Iranian security may be; in the days of the Shah, SAVAK was feared, and its reach extended well beyond Iran itself.

SAVAK’s last three chiefs all met similar ends in the same year, 1979, after the fundamentalist clerics seized power in Iran: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAK.

I think that, if a particular people has been expelled from dozens, indeed hundreds, of states and territories over the centuries, it is legitimate to ask why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsions_and_exoduses_of_Jews.

[“Gideon Lifi, Haaretz journalist:

Everything is paralyzed. Everything is at a standstill. The economy is at a standstill, you can’t live like this. I don’t think Israeli society will be able to tolerate this situation for long.

We feel safe in public shelters, but not everyone has access to these shelters. There are many people who have no shelter from danger.

At first, we were all happy because we were witnessing important achievements in Tehran. But everything changed quickly because the price we had to pay became high, and I fear that this price and cost we are paying will be much higher.

I don’t think Israeli society can tolerate this situation for weeks or a whole month or years. The airports are closed. There is no way in or out. Life here is not easy.”]

There are still plenty of people around who do not understand that Labour, as understood during almost all of the 20thC, ceased to exist during the 1990s, which was why it was called “New Labour” for a while. A different party supplanted 90% of what had been Labour.

That process, connected to the overall collapse of socialism after 1989, has continued in the UK to the extent that Starmer, or Starmer-stein, now sounds far more like Conservative Party leader than a Labour one. Why is that? Because he is more like one…
