 Benjamin Netanyahu said the nation was approaching a ‘fateful hour’.

However, the United Nations has warned that the ‘spectre of death’ looms over Gaza as hundreds of thousands continue fleeing from the expected Israeli invasion.

Supplies of food, water, fuel and medicines are running dangerously low after Israel imposed blockades on the Palestinian territory.

[Gaza: a young girl carries her cat as they try to escape]

Israel already carries a very heavy karmic burden of evil; the present slaughter and distress being visited on civilian victims in Gaza (half of the population is under-18, and about a quarter are babies or children under 12) can only increase that.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12633731/Guardian-sacks-cartoonist-Steve-Bell-anti-Semitic-Benjamin-Netanyahu-cartoon.html

Cartoonist Steve Bell claims he has been ‘sacked’ by The Guardian over accusations that some of his work is anti-Semitic.

The veteran artist, who has worked for the newspaper for more than 40 years, said it was no longer willing to publish his artwork after he submitted a controversial cartoon of Benjamin Netanyahu.

In the image the president of Israel was seen wearing boxing gloves and holding a scalpel over his own exposed belly, readying a cut in the shape of Gaza while the caption reads: ‘Residents of Gaza, get out now’. “

Police have identified a suspect in the hunt for the brute who savagely kicked an innocent cat into a road in a horrifying moment caught on camera.

“‘A suspect has been identified and arrangements have made to interview him.”

Name, shame, and punish (sufficiently). A good sustained kicking should do it.

I do not have much time for any sort of Arabs as a group, any more than I have much time for Israelis or Jews generally (i.e. as a group). Both groups have their positive and negative points. However, both what the Israeli state is doing to the civilians in Gaza, and how the Jews elsewhere in the world are justifying that, is just evil and, in a word, inhuman.

I am reminded of someone I knew slightly in the early 1980s, about 1984-1985, when I belonged to the (now long-defunct, I believe) Kensington Rifle and Pistol Club. I suppose that he was about 55-60. I cannot recall his name.

Born in Gaza (I think) and an odd (?) mixture, half-Palestinian Arab, half-Russian, he was a pretty good pistol shot, and worked as a civil servant. I remember that, one evening, at the Club bar, he invited me to go, on some unspecified future day, to meet his (I think English) wife, but he died unexpectedly not long after, and in an unusual way.

The individual of which I speak worked at a government office very close to Lambeth North Underground Station. Co-incidentally, I myself was also there quite often, because I took part-time (a couple of evenings per week) Russian and German at nearby Morley College in Westminster Bridge Road.

There are or were no escalators at that station, only a large and ancient lift. I sometimes ran up the (about 90-100) stairs to the top, for exercise. It seems that the Russian-Palestinian fellow had no choice but to climb the stairs one day when the lift was out of operation. He got to the top, but suffered a heart attack and died there. The Evening Standard had a small story about it. I regretted being unable to offer his wife my condolences, not knowing her address or telephone number, and never having met her.

That Russian-Palestinian man had told me over a drink at the Club bar about how, in the Palestinian refugee camps of the day (1980s), sanitation and water supply were very basic, probably more so even than today (until a week or two ago, anyway), and how if a child lived to age 2, he or she was almost invulnerable to disease caused via bacteria, because the immunity was so strong. He himself cannot have been born in such a camp, though, because he must have been born in the 1920s, maybe early 1930s, before the Nakba (the late 1940s ethnic cleansing carried out by the Jews).

Just a stray memory or two…

How typical of “them”…

Still, “what goes around comes around”, as they say…

Bombing cheered on by Jew-Zionists, in the UK and elsewhere, who claim that they feel “terrified” at (almost non-existent) “antisemitism” in their safe suburbs etc…

I have no idea whether Liz Truss has some kind of deluded “plan” in doing this. Does she not understand that she and Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng) lost what little credibility they ever had a year ago?

Actually, why is she doing this? Can it be that she thinks that after the quite likely wipeout this Government is probably going to experience in 2024, whatever is left of the Parliamentary Conservative Party (maybe as few as 50 MPs, maybe 100 or so) will turn to her?

It seems ludicrous, particularly as she only became an MP on her back, but South West Norfolk is one of the very safest Con Party seats; Liz Truss received almost 70% of the vote in 2019 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_West_Norfolk_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s]. We shall see.

It still seems strange to think of Liz Truss as a former Prime Minister. 49 days of absolute rollercoaster turmoil.

That’s the Union Flag or “Jack”, not the Israeli flag. Anyone confusing the two (stand up Suella Braverman, Rishi Sunak, Starmer, Farage etc) should go to Specsavers (or, better still, get lost).

As someone once said, “the simulacrum of the human“. There may soon be robots with more humanity than her. That Israeli bitch cannot interact (even with someone, Kay Burley, who is quite pro-Jewish) in anything approaching a civilized manner, let alone a diplomatic manner. Why is she polluting our English air?

Like naughty little schoolboys.

The Jerusalem Post confirms our assumption that the delay in the start of the IDF ground operation in Gaza is due precisely to the uncertainty of the Lebanese Hezbollah’s goals. Tel Aviv fears that as soon as the IDF gets involved in fighting in Gaza, a Hezbollah attack from the north will follow.”

Saturday quiz

Well, not so good this week: 4/10, though that was still enough for me to beat, yet again, political journalist John Rentoul (who scored 3/10). I knew the answers to questions 1, 6, 7, and 9.

The NWO/ZOG conspiracy has been exposed —yet again— in the past week. The masks really have come off. Von der Leyen, Macron, Nigel Farage etc, as well as more obvious puppets of Israel and the Jewish lobby such as Starmer, Sunak, and the “tail wags dog” American government and msm.

Oh dear…

Tommy Robinson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson_(activist)] gives his opinion. He claims, with reasonable plausibility, that he is not getting money directly from Israel (though that leaves in the air the question of from where he does get the money upon which he lives in his Spanish exile).

I slightly sympathize with “Robinson’s'” dislike of Hamas and even Fatah, but he seems unaware or uncaring about the strategic “big picture” that has unfolded since 1948 in Israel/Palestine.

I should be interested to see a similar graphic, I suppose it would have to be an ordinary graph, showing the amount and/or proportion of the UK economy controlled by Jewish interests in 1890, 1923, 1956, 1989, and this year.

“Robinson” might care to factor-in to his future comments the question of which group or groups control the political and msm narrative(s) in the UK, and in the West more generally. Not Hamas or Fatah, and not —most of the time— the Muslim community or communities, but mainly the Jewish lobby and/or Israel lobby.

If the Palestinians supporting Hamas (etc) are monstrous, they have been made monstrous— by Israel.

Counter terror police in Sussex have arrested a woman on suspicion of supporting a proscribed terror organisation following a pro-Hamas protest in the city.

The woman is believed to have made a speech at the event.

Superintendent Petra Lazar from Sussex Police said: “After reviewing footage from the protest event held in Brighton on Sunday October 8, the matter was investigated by Counter Terrorism Policing South East. We will continue to support them as they conduct their investigation.

That is probably the first time I have ever agreed completely with anything tweeted by Aaron Bastani. Perhaps I should have it framed.

The West has lost moral authority. That is what happens when your governments are corrupted by Jew-Zionism not only in the Middle East but also in our own countries; in the UK, USA, France, Germany etc.

I should date the loss of American moral authority specifically (despite all that has happened since 1776) mainly to the events that happened in Iraq and Afghanistan a couple of decades ago, and what flowed from those invasions. The terrible Abu Ghraib, Bagram and other torture programmes, including so-called “extraordinary rendition”; also including the concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay.

Grant Shapps

Saw many tweets etc against the Jew Shapps; a few in his favour, too. What strikes me as incredible is that many discuss his words as if the fact that he is a Jew (indeed a fanatical Zionist Jew) is not really relevant! “After all, he has a UK passport“, “he was born in the UK, in Hertfordshire” etc…

Shapps was the head of the Zionist organization “Bnai Brith”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Shapps.

Of course, Shapps was also a near-fraudulent business schemer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Shapps#Business_ventures.

At least with the Israeli Jews in positions of political authority, you know that almost all of them have been in uniform, and quite a few have seen action (i.e. what you see is more or less what you get) but in Britain we now have the Shapps type, who really know nothing about defence or anything else. Not only Jews, incidentally— look at, to name only one other, Gavin Williamson. I blogged about him 4+ years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/.

Actually, Britain cannot “go to war” anyway. For that, you need a functioning Army, Navy, and Air Force. Our very-reduced armed forces are now almost powerless, and indeed almost useless. In fact, I begin to wonder what is the point of even having them. Our very borders are open to any who wish to cross the Channel in a rubber boat. Migration invasion.

Needless to say, Matthew Parris fails to note that Shapps is a Jewish Zionist. I suppose that Parris wants to keep his job; anyone even noting en passant whether someone, even someone as incompetent and dishonest as Shapps, is a Jew, faces loss of job, loss of money, etc, maybe even prosecution…in fact, the Zionists rely on that kind of intimidation (in Europe, where the Jews have no Israeli Defence Force or secret police with which to frighten people).

Since the recent Gaza events, I have seen several tweets by well-known Jews in the UK effectively threatening to report to police, presumably to those police playing at “counter-terrorism”, anyone criticizing the Israeli actions.

Typical.

Incidentally, I have today seen tweets by Jews in the UK who support the Israeli actions, one saying that “In 2008, during [Operation] Cast Lead, Hamas had rockets that could only go a few kilometers. Now they can go 250 km. In 2008, Hamas didn’t have drones, amphibious assault teams, anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles. Now they do.

I agree with that. The operational capabilities of Israel’s enemies, both in Palestine and elsewhere, have grown greatly. The population of Tel Aviv will, sooner or later, be protected from air attack little more than is, now, the unfortunate population of Gaza.

In the old proverb, “old sins cast long shadows“…

I recall what a hullabaloo the UK msm made when the bridge was damaged by Kiev-regime attack. Now, though, no reportage. How odd (not).

Very English (to remove the flag, rather than… well, ’nuff said…).

The virtue-signallers have moved on. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) is no longer flavour of the month. Now it is Israel (oddly; after all, a vast mechanized war machine is attacking a largely-unarmed civilian population, half of which is under18 years of age).

Russia will eventually triumph in Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper). The Kiev regime is living on borrowed time.

In other words, the Americans (US Govt, not ordinary Americans) are going to allow the Israeli Jews a “free hit” on the population of Gaza, half of whom are under 18, and at least quarter of whom are young or very young (0-12) in age.

This is going to be an even less equal fight than, say, the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto by German forces in 1943, or the wider Warsaw Uprising (involving Poles rather than Jews) in 1944: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising#Main_revolt; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Uprising.

While “technically” perhaps not genocide, this is at least quasi-genocide.

Again it strikes me that, while the Israeli Jews kill tens of thousands (which may eventually be hundreds of thousands) in Gaza, the most vocal-on-social-media Jews in England are whining (and lying) about how they and their neighbours etc are “fearful” or “afraid“, or even “terrified” of (very limited, mostly “defensive” and only very rarely physically-manifested) “antisemitism” in the UK.

The hurt done to animals, both domestic and other, is another heavy sin to be carried by the Israelis as they further devastate Gaza.

The Israeli army continues to delay the start of the ground military operation in the Gaza Strip.

Now the IDF command has announced that the army will launch a ground operation after assessing the number of residents remaining in the enclave. The ID command had not previously mentioned such a condition. But the world community’s reaction to the events in the Gaza Strip could not but affect Netanyahu and his entourage.

Therefore, for the time being, the decision was made to achieve the evacuation of only the majority of the population from the enclave.

According to numerous Arabic TV channels, more than 800 thousand people have now left the northern Gaza Strip. However, a significant number of civilians still remain in the enclave. If Israel launches a military operation while there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Gaza Strip, it will lead to tragic consequences for the population.

In addition, the Israeli authorities fear the risks associated with the start of a ground operation, involving new participants in the conflict, after which the IDF will have to fight on two, and even three or four fronts. In addition, there is a high probability that the US will not become directly involved in an armed conflict.

Therefore, Israel seems to be delaying the start of the operation not to estimate the number of civilian population in Gaza, towards which the Israeli authorities have long shown indifference, but to assess the real prospects and risks of an invasion.”

Many of the “foreign citizens” are in fact Jews. They flee, panic-stricken.

Rapists could be spared jail from next week as prisons reach breaking point, it was reported last night.

Sex offenders and burglars could be let out on bail rather than handed an immediate custodial sentence, according to guidance issued to judges.

The most dangerous criminals will reportedly have to be held in magistrates’ court cells if they are remanded in custody.

Prisons in England and Wales are on the brink of maximum capacity, with 88,016 inmates last Friday – leaving just 650 spaces spare.

The senior presiding judge for England and Wales, Lord Edis, ordered that sentencing hearings will have to be postponed from Monday, The Times reported.”

[Daily Mail].

There has been a sentencing crisis for years. While many crimes of drunken violence, acquisitive crime etc attract, quite often, non-custodial sentences, other crimes, often very minor, not only result in prison time but in very considerable time.

Look at the political realm. Harmless teenage fantasists who have downloaded online material such as the notorious Anarchist’s Cookbook (which was sold openly in London bookshops in the 1970s, and without the State imploding) have been sentenced to terms of 4, 5, even 7 years, incredibly. Anything (political or otherwise) involving illicit possession of a weapon (even a WW2 revolver) has attracted sentencing as severe, or more severe.

Likewise, there have been sentenced to prison people such as Alison Chabloz (sentenced to a number of months for posting “antisemitic” satirical songs and cartoons online), Jez Turner (a year, for having suggested in a brief speech in Whitehall that Jews should be driven out from England as they were under Edward I in the 14th Century), and “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch, sentenced to a very harsh 2.5 years for having posted “antisemitic” material on an internet radio station).

The alert reader will have noted the common factor in the immediately-above three Draconian sentences, but what do you expect when 10 Downing Street has the Israeli flag projected onto its facade? Or when Keir Starmer, posing as Labour Party leader, thinks that the Israeli ethnostate has every right to cut off water, food, and electricity (and everything else) from the 2 million inhabitants of Gaza.

As far as non-political crimes are concerned, one often sees newspaper reports these days about various types of criminal sentenced to, say, terms of 4, 5, or 6 years in prison, when a far shorter term of, say, a couple of years would really suffice. Likewise, people are sometimes —in fact, often— sentenced to a year or more in circumstances where, even retaining a custodial element, a few months would be more than enough.

At the present time, the crisis of available space would easily be solved if judges were to work out carefully, as they are supposed to do, the proper sentence in every case, but then, after all that, cut off a percentage, as an emergency administrative-judicial measure. Say 20%, so that a headline sentence of 5 years becomes one of 4 years, or one of 2.5 years becomes one of 2 years. That would scarcely impact anything other than space in prisons and, within a few months, would start to solve the present problem.

Captain Sir Tom Moore‘s daughter has confessed to pocketing £800,000 from books written by the NHS fundraising war veteran.

In a tearful interview, Hannah Ingram-Moore revealed how the family received the money thanks to her father – whose lockdown walks raised £39million for the nation’s health service.

Mrs Ingram-Moore said her father wanted them to keep the profits from his three books: Captain Tom’s Life Lessons, One Hundred Steps and his autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day.

The family is also adamant that people buying the books were never told their money was going to charity. 

However, the prologue of his autobiography calls this claim into question and suggests the veteran thought his books were just another way for him to raise cash. 

The extract read: ‘Astonishingly at my age, with the offer to write this memoir I have also been given the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.’

[Daily Mail].

I was in the minority of sceptics when the old ex-officer (he spent 6 years in uniform during WW2) started his “crusade”. While arguably wrongheaded, one had to respect the grit of the old fellow, yet the whole thing played into the “scamdemic” propaganda of the time, and even the £30M raised probably did little to help the maladministered NHS.

I could see that the daughter and her husband were basically a pair of freeloaders, if not outright frauds, but people so badly (and rightly) want to believe. In something. In anything. You only have to look at the well-known online “grifters” and frauds around. “Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, “Man Behaving Dadly” etc. There are dozens, probably hundreds, of them. They destroy trust in society, as do some of the family of the late Captain Moore.

Were the atrocities not so terrible, it would be funny to see the UK Jewish/Israel lobby all both pushing out (identical) Israeli propaganda and —at the same time— saying, when asked about the quasi-genocidal Israeli Gaza siege, and mass murder of Gazan civilians, “oh, no, that has nothing to do with us; we bear no responsibility” and “we are just opposed to antisemitism, the actions of Israel are nothing to do with our campaigning in the UK...”.

In the wake of the merciless assault by Hamas, Israel seems to be planning the same approach.

All the signs are that its government is preparing to retaliate on a massive scale, mobilising the country’s formidable armed forces against Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared: ‘What we will do to our enemies in the coming days will reverberate for generations.’

His defence minister Yoav Gallant has added: ‘We are fighting human animals – and we act accordingly.

Yet just as Iraq turned out to be a calamitous error, fuelling a lasting cycle of violence, so I fear that – however understandable – any attempt by Israel to exact its vengeance with a savage display of military might could be just as disastrous.”

“…a full invasion, such as Israel’s generals are surely discussing today, would be a bloody quagmire. For Jerusalem, it would mean a conveyor belt of tired soldiers fighting day and night, resupplying with food, water and military hardware, rotating and evacuating casualties, for months on end.

It would chew up thousands of troops for little or no benefit, and poison the Arab world, and to a certain extent the international community, against the Jewish state.

Alas, it looks like Israel is set to take precisely this route.

Already the country has launched a barrage of air strikes, causing heavy civilian casualties – unsurprising given that more than two million people are living in a strip the size of the Isle of Wight.” [in fact, smaller than the Isle of Wight— 141 sq. miles as against 148].

This bombardment has been buttressed by a siege designed to weaken the morale of the citizenry by cutting off their water and electricity.

Yet what is the ultimate objective? What does ‘victory’ for Israel even look like?”

It would be even more interesting were Israel to face attack or, even more so, invasion from the directions of Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and perhaps even (though even less likely) from Egypt, and if the Palestinian Arabs of the West Bank were also to join in the fight.

The immediately-above scenario is unlikely, true, but the Americans must have some reason to have moved one of their fleets closer to the region.

If such a concerted invasion and uprising were to happen, though, Israel could be destroyed, its population fleeing in panic.

I cannot write about all that prior to trial, for reasons of potential contempt of court etc, but one aspect of the case is that I am alleged to have claimed that, in the UK, most of the TV and Press is effectively in the hands of Jew-Zionists (as Rupert Murdoch said years ago— and he is 100% pro-Israel…).

Margaret Hodge is just another Jew-Zionist liar and hypocrite.

As in the infamous 1990 Kuwait atrocity story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony.

In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah’s last name was Al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيرة الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign, which was run by the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti Government. Following this, al-Sabah’s testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.”

I was in New York at the time, in 1990. Those lies (blown up hugely by the Jew-Zionist mass media) were quite effective in moulding the TV narratives and the political conversation etc.

Water cut off, food cut off, electricity and gas cut off; all other supplies cut off, and area bombing and rocketing of civilian areas, in a “ghetto” occupied by 2 million inhabitants, 600,000 of whom live in Gaza City.

Of the 2 million Palestinian Arabs in the Gaza Strip, about 1 million are under-18, and most of that million are young children.

If there was ever a war crime amounting to at least quasi-genocide, this surely must be it.

If, as voter, you vote Labour now, you get moneygrubbing tools of Israel such as Emily Thornberry (and Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, and Keir Starmer). Why bother?

Emily Thornberry, “human rights” lawyer (etc), who thinks it justifiable for Israel to cut off water and food (etc) from 2 million people, almost all of whom (about 96%) are non-combatants, half of whom are under-18, and hundreds of thousands of whom are young or very young children.

I used to wonder what Israeli Intelligence had on Murray to make him the unashamed propagandist for Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby that he is. Now, I tend to think that he is just deeply psychologically damaged.

As for Julia Hartley-Brewer, I think (am unsure) that she is part-Jewish. She is certainly rather ignorant; I had to correct her on a couple of legal points when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews managed to have me expelled in 2018). Instead of thanking me for schooling her, she tried to obfuscate, and then blocked me.

Murray is right with his “flare” metaphor, though. These events have shown what group really pulls the strings of our “democratic” political parties, and System politicians. With a tiny number of honourable exceptions, all puppets of Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby. From Sunak to Starmer, and from Emily Thornberry to that fraudulent bastard Nigel Farage.

The war has threatened to draw in surrounding territories after shells were fired from Syria and Lebanon into Israel and Israel shelled the only land exit from Gaza into Egypt – shortly after an Israeli military spokesperson told civilians to flee through it.

Rescue officials in Gaza said ‘large numbers’ of people were still trapped under the remnants of leveled buildings, with rescue equipment and ambulances unable to reach the area.

In a new tactic, Israel is warning civilians to evacuate neighborhood after neighborhood, and then inflicting devastation, in what could be a prelude to a ground offensive. 

Israeli Prime Minister Mr Netanyahu has warned Israel’s military campaign following Saturday’s onslaught is only the start of a sustained war to destroy Hamas and ‘change the Middle East’. 

Entire districts in Gaza were ‘razed‘ in airstrikes today as Israel continues its response to an ongoing incursion launched by Hamas on Saturday.

Israel announced yesterday it would put the region under ‘complete siege’, making the Rafah crossing into Egypt the sole route out of the Gaza Strip by land.

[Israeli attack on Gaza]

If there were an invasion from the North (Lebanese/Syrian territory), that would place the Israeli army under great strain; even more so were Jordan to attack Jerusalem from the East. Neither is likely, though. So far, not even the West Bank Arabs have joined in, not in any substantial way.

For me, as observer, it seems that the importance of these events has been psychological and not military, as such.

The repressed Palestinian Arabs must now realize what may be possible, and the Israeli Jews must also realize what may one day happen (maybe not so far down the line). The Arabs must be feeling emboldened (despite the effectively genocidal Israeli siege and pounding of Gaza), but the Israeli Jews must be feeling fear that all their military might may, one day soon, not be enough to save them. Many must be keeping their second or third passports to hand, in case they decide to flee.

Obviously, from a strict military point of view, the Israeli Army, with its 2,000 or more tanks, and the Israeli Air Force, with hundreds of strike planes, fighters, attack helicopters, and now also drones, cannot be defeated by the poorly-equipped militia of the Palestinian factions. The Israeli Goliath looms over the Palestinian David.

That may, though, in the end, not be the whole picture.

Sven Longshanks

Many British readers of the blog, perhaps some overseas ones too, will be aware that Sven Longshanks, aka James Allchurch, was sentenced to a very harsh 2.5 years in prison (so, in practical terms, 1 year and 13 weeks) earlier this year. The sentence was handed down on 15 May 2023, so he should be released in (or before) mid-August 2024.

In the meantime, “Sven” needs money while in prison, to make the time less unpleasant. Equally importantly, to help him get back on his feet after release: see https://www.givesendgo.com/SupportSven.

Of course, I was one of the first to realize what a useless lump of nothing “Boris” Johnson was/is. About 20 years ago. Everyone else, pretty much, was willing to swallow the line that “Boris” was brilliant, principled, strong, interesting, a Poundland Churchill for our times. The Jews liked him because he is part-Jew, the Muslims liked that he is part-Levantine, the petit bourgeois Daily Mail readers liked the fact that he had been to Eton and Oxford.

In fact, Johnson was only ever a “cosplay”, as people now say; an am-dram “Churchill”, or a matrioshka with nothing inside. A mainly faked “British upper class” persona, a persona with which the part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer was able to fool the plebs.

Of course, put to the test in political office, it all fell to pieces. He proved himself again and again a liar, unprincipled (and not even in an intelligent way), not any kind of “intellectual”, useless, incapable of either ideology or religion, disloyal, and without a real idea in his muddled head.

Johnson was also as weak as a kitten, incapable of being a Prime Minister.

Brexit could still work, but only by the UK allying itself to Russia, or at least standing neutral but trading with Russia.

The sick thing is that Labour, especially under Starmer, has so very little to offer the British people.

Labour only looks —sort-of— good, or —almost— acceptable to many because, in a more or less rigged binary system, it stands alongside the Conservative Party, which is now exposed as totally useless and pointless.

I do think that, after the last few years especially, the Conservative Party has probably reached the end of the road. That may result, once Starmer has really angered people, in the first real and sustained upsurge for social nationalism in my lifetime.

Yet “Sven Longshanks” is in prison until next August simply for broadcasting allegedly or actually —I never tuned in— anti-Jew stuff on “Radio Aryan”…

If prisoners are to be released ahead of time, Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch) should be the first out of the gates.

I recently blogged about the upcoming by-elections: Tamworth, Mid-Bedfordshire. They will be a test of the depth of disillusion with the Conservative Party.

I can see the 2024 General Election being a strange triumph for Labour, largely by default, and because former Conservative Party voters will just refuse to vote for the present confused, useless rabble. Some will vote Labour, but more will protest-vote or simply abstain.

The truth should be investigated but the propaganda (true or false) has of course already done its job across the West.

I notice that the usual well-paid “human rights” lawyers in the UK (mostly Jews) are very quiet about Israel subjecting 2 million people in Gaza to life without water, food, electricity or communications. This, unless stopped right now, is actual genocide, imposed by Jews on non-Jews.

Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer. You can almost see the strings being pulled. What a disgusting little man he is,.

Were Israel to be wiped out, the Jew-Zionist lobby in the West would suffer a mortal injury.

Gaza

A couple of cartoons which speak to me:

Another:

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12612267/IAN-BIRRELL-Inside-Gaza-Strip-Hamas-rules-iron-fist.html

Gaza has constant power cuts, dismal public services, dirty water and a crushing lack of jobs.

Most of its energy comes from Israel – but even the small contributions from Gaza’s single power plant, like all private generators, rely on imported diesel.

Much of the struggling health services depend on the United Nations and charities. Patients in need of more serious treatment require permission from Palestinian and Israeli officials to travel outside the Strip, which is ringed with 20ft fences, motion sensors, radar and cameras.

But the most critical shortage here is of hope. This is one of the world’s most densely populated places and has one of the youngest populations – yet more than two-thirds of young adults are unemployed, while eight in ten residents rely on external aid.

Although tens of thousands of Palestinians used to leave Gaza to work in Israel, the border was sealed after the Hamas takeover, so an entire generation has grown up never able to leave the Strip and never having met an Israeli.

This all makes it fertile ground for Hamas to find ‘martyrs’ for its twisted cause, especially amid the trauma of living under frequent attack and bombardment.

It is little wonder that past polls have found half of Gazans want to leave this blighted place – and no surprise that it was the source of the latest explosion of hatred to stain this turbulent region.

[Daily Mail].

A 2018 account from Conservative Party-supporting journalist Ian Birrell (he wrote some speeches for David Cameron-Levita c.2012), but interesting, and worth reading the full version.

Gaza has been called “an open prison” but it is is probably more accurate to call it a large-scale guarded ghetto. In fact, to me it resembles from a distance— I have never been there, nor (obviously) Israel— the Warsaw Ghetto of the early 1940s: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto.

That Wikipedia account has been subject to the (((usual))) bias, but gives the overall background.

Of course, casualties in Gaza will be given less prominence than those in Israel, because the Western mass media is —mostly— controlled, or at least heavily influenced, by Jew-Zionists.

Look at the Jewish religious festivals. Most, if not all, are effectively celebrations of ethnic supremacism from ancient history. We are talking about 2,500-3,000 years of historical development.

If you said half or a tenth as much about Jews, the msm “claque” would be screaming and (in the UK) the “poundland KGB” police would probably be making a nuisance of themselves…

I caught a few minutes of Kay Burley on Sky News this morning. Complete pro-Israel bias. Not surprising. After all, the job pays well, and enough to dine at the Chiltern Firehouse, with bottles of wine at £400 apiece.

To be fair to Kay Burley, she did apparently put ludicrous “Foreign Secretary” James Cleverly on the spot, also today:

Having someone like Cleverly as Foreign Secretary is just embarrassing.

Political thoughts

The events in Israel/Palestine have resulted in an outpouring of System virtue-signalling.

Sunak, Starmer, and many others all falling over each other to pledge allegiance to Israel. Political con-man, and “controlled opposition” kingpin Nigel Farage, too. In a way, it is a good thing that those who are under that control have identified themselves.

On a different note, I wonder whether the “answer” to the otherwise intractable Gaza problem might be to establish a programme whereby Gazans can relocate to new towns across the Middle East, with co-operation of governments within the region. Instead of one very crowded city of 2 million inhabitants, 19-20 towns, each with 100,000 inhabitants. Gaza itself to be reduced to 100,000, or perhaps to be returned to sparsely-populated farmland.

The above “solution” might be acceptable both to the Gazans themselves (giving them greater freedom and better living conditions) and to the Israeli government (reducing the “security threat” to near-zero), if it could be organized.

A biased (in its tone) piece by a Jewish scribbler; nonetheless worth reading.

An emboldened Iran will extend the export of its missile and drone technology, which is already playing an important role for Russia in its campaign against Ukraine.

Indeed Moscow, though it has had good relations with Israel, has much to gain from a new Middle Eastern conflict.

The U.S. is likely to feel pressure to strengthen Israel’s defences against Hamas rockets with weapons like the highly effective Patriot surface-to-air anti-missile system. 

America does not have a big stockpile of these Patriots, and Israel will receive priority, meaning there will be far fewer for President Zelensky’s government.

Scale of destruction in the Gaza Strip 168 buildings, including 1,009 residential units, were completely destroyed, while 12,600 were partially damaged, according to the Palestinian Authority. It is also reported that 10 health facilities, 48 ​​schools, 23 government buildings and 12 ambulances were affected.”

If that Jew ever gives up political life, he will have a career in horror films playing some kind of “undead” monster.

Ukraine is forgotten: the largest American media after the start of the war in Israel closed their “online” coverage of events in Ukraine All major American media have curtailed their coverage of events in Ukraine in live short news mode. CNN, which reported “online” in Ukraine almost non-stop, stopped updating it on October 6. Since then, the link to the Ukrainian “online” has disappeared from the European version of the publication’s main page and has not appeared on it again. Almost simultaneously, The New York Times stopped online coverage of Ukraine. Its main page, like CNN’s, now covers events in Israel online.

Ha.

Late thought

The stories coming out of Gaza and Southern Israel are more than merely unpleasant; terrible. As far as the Palestinian combatants are concerned, if they are sometimes monstrous, it is because they have been made monstrous, and made so mainly by the behaviour of the Israeli Jews.

All that, and the bastard will probably also take to wearing a skyblue-and-white tie soon…

Hard to imagine that being successful —in the sense of sustainable— though, bearing in mind the brute force available to the Israeli state; tanks etc.

The Israeli forces have access to (up to) 2,200 main battle tanks (plus other but smaller “platforms”): see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armored_Corps_(Israel).

That compares to about 157 immediately-available tanks in the British order of battle (though Britain does have over 3,000 of all types of armoured vehicle). Germany has about 2,500 main battle tanks, the USA up to 9,000, China about 9,000, and Russia as many as 23,000.

The importance of the large-scale incursion from the Gaza “open prison” into Israel lies in its psychological effect on the Israelis. I predicted on the blog, several years ago, that something like this would probably happen eventually. The Palestinian Arabs would break free of their confinement and start to kill Israeli combatants and civilians.

Once combat is taking place in urban and suburban areas, weapons such as heavy tanks, jet fighter aircraft, bomber aircraft and nuclear weapons become less effective. In such situations, infantry come into their own and, in infantry combat, the Israelis may not have a huge person-to-person advantage over ad hoc or militia forces.

Well, there it is. UK-based Jew wants Gaza to be levelled, and all its inhabitants killed, by Israeli nuclear attack.

Were I (or anyone) to tweet, or write on a blog, that Jews should all be killed, the police would soon be knocking at my (or their) door (in fact, though I have never been arrested or questioned about the matter, I myself am facing trial in late November for having allegedly posted a few far more mild socio-political comments on this blog).

If however, a wealthy Jew-Zionist urges or incites nuclear attack against Palestinian Arabs, then “nothing to see here; move along“… it seems.

Forman owns a family smoked salmon business, and his product is rather good, but I shall certainly not be paying out for it now.

Incidentally, Forman was a leading light in the fake “nationalist” UKIP, or Brexit Party; maybe both.

It occurs to me that Forman says that “we [Israelis/Jews] cannot ever make peace with people who do this”; that “we” obviously meaning that he sees himself as Jew and/or Israeli first. He may (I do not know) hold dual nationality. Many, perhaps most, of “them” do. In the UK, “strangers in a strange land“…

One of the people Jewish smoked-salmon strategist Lance Forman wants to kill using nuclear weapons…

Gaza is effectively an open prison. A loose comparison, but fairly accurate. At a push of a button, the Israelis, i.e. Jews, can cut off water, food, electricity, medical supplies etc, and have done so now.

In the short term, militarily, the Palestinian Arabs cannot win, but in the longer term, looking at demographics etc, they can scarcely lose. As for the Israeli Jews, they have now seen, on a limited scale, their likely future, which may come to pass in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, or the day after tomorrow.

Thick fake British “nationalist” Richard Tice fails to see that Jews are not only part of the UK’s so-called “multicultural society” but are the architects of much of it (not in Israel, of course, but in UK, USA, France, Germany, Sweden etc).

Diary Blog, 8 October 2023, including a look at the upcoming Tamworth and Mid-Bedfordshire by-elections

Afternoon music

Battles past

Tamworth and Mid-Bedfordshire by-elections 2023

Tamworth constituency has a fairly ancient history (on various different boundaries and names), going back to the 13th Century. Its most famous MP was Sir Robert Peel, who represented the town from 1830-1850 (he was MP for three other places from 1809-1830), and who was Prime Minister 1834-1835 and 1841-1846: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Peel.

The most recent MP, the appropriately-named Chris Pincher, was rather less distinguished, having been finally forced to resign in 2023 after several years of having been accused, then eventually adjudged guilty, of having sexually molested men, including MPs, in bars.

Looking at his Wikipedia entry, it seems that Pincher only became an MP in 2010, at age 41, and had done nothing very interesting prior to that (though Wikipedia is not infallible). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Pincher.

Tamworth, on its present boundaries, was held by Labour from 1997 (when the present seat was brought into being) until 2010; Pincher failed to secure the seat in 2005, but took it in 2010 with a vote-share of 45.8%. Thereafter, his percentage vote increased at every election, peaking in 2019 at 66.3%.

At that 2019 election, Labour Co-op came in second, but poorly, on 23.7%. The other 4 candidates were very much also-rans, only the LibDems retaining their deposit (with 5.3%).

The by-election will be held on 19 October 2023, and has attracted 9 candidates: Conservative, Labour, LibDem, Green, UKIP, Reform (the latest Farage vehicle), Britain First, Monster Raving Loony, and an independent. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-66864806 for candidates’ details.

This is probably a Con-Lab 2-horse race, with the LibDems possibly having a slim outsider chance. The Guardian has talked to a few voters: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/sep/30/tamworth-voters-byelection-tories-chris-pincher

The Government is obviously deeply unpopular, and also seen as useless. However, Labour is not much liked either. There may be protest vote possibilities, but the main object may be to send a message to the Government, and I suppose that a vote for Labour is most likely to cause the Government pain, if it results in the by-election ending with a Labour win.

Hard for me to call. I have only once even driven through the town, and that was long ago. Not an area I know. Overall, it seems to me that the LibDems are too marginal here to have much chance, so it is between Con and Lab. To elect the Labour candidate would require a huge swing, but I think that it must be possible, as public feeling now stands.

If Labour can pull it off at Tamworth, the 2024 General Election will look sealed. The over-used word “seismic” comes to mind.

So we turn to Mid-Bedfordshire.

Nadine Dorries had to be almost forced out of the seat she had held since 2005, and which had provided her with a good income; both salary and very inflated expenses. She was lucky to have avoided prosecution. A very stupid, entirely uneducated, but withal cunning woman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Dorries.

The by-election, to be held on 19 October 2023, the same day as that at Tamworth, has attracted no less than 13 candidates, mostly minor or crank.

Nadine Dorries scored 59.8% at the 2019 General Election (Labour 21.7%, LibDems 12.6%).

Mid-Bedfordshire has been a Conservative Party seat since the 1920s.

This would normally be a shoo-in for the Conservative Party candidate, but several factors make that less than likely. Anger at the freeloading and fraudulent behaviour of Nadine Dorries. The general anger at the present Government. Perhaps also the fact that the Con candidate is a careerist black: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festus_Akinbusoye.

The Conservative Party candidate is presently Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire, only came to the UK at 13 from his native Nigeria, and is a Mormon.

The opinion polls have Con and Lab neck and neck, with the LibDems not far behind. Tactical voting may play the decisive role, but does that mean anti-Con voters voting Labour, or voting LibDem?

Reform, the Farage vehicle, is polling around 7%, as is county council chairman Gareth Mackey, standing as Independent.

Very hard to call, but Labour may just have the edge.

I suppose that the other point is that Sunak may be pressured to stand down as Con Party leader if one contest is lost (or only if both are lost?).

[Update, 22 January 2024: in the end, Labour won both by-elections.

At Tamworth, the Labour candidate won with 45.8% of the vote, Con Party in second with 40.7%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Tamworth_by-election.

In Mid-Bedfordshire, the result was even closer, Labour winning with 34.1% of the vote, Con 31.1%, and the LibDems doing well in third on 23.1%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Mid_Bedfordshire_by-election.

In both by-elections, Reform UK proved underwhelming (4th and 5th placed, respectively).

Sunak did not resign, despite the double loss.].

Whatever may be said of Labour or Angela Rayner, that tweet is surely correct. The 2024 General Election is Labour’s to lose. The Conservative Party is just dissolving. I notice that evil sociopath Chris Grayling is now not going to stand for re-election.

Having said that, I see many white-haired and grey-haired people at that Labour show. All System parties are dying, and have few young people supporting them.

Exactly. A million a year coming in, and only a few hundred thousand people (mostly real Brits) leaving (for Australia, New Zealand etc) each year. Result— misery.

Actually, many of the replies to the above tweet show how unthinking the self-describing “Left” pseudo-socialists are.

Well, looking at Downing Street this evening, does anyone now doubt what embedded group is pulling the strings of both the “Conservative” and “Labour” parties?

According to the Turkish sources, due to dwindling stocks of Iron Dome missiles, the Israeli army is not supplying ammunition to some units armed with the complex, with the exception of three batteries in Tel Aviv, one battery in Jerusalem and one battery in Netivot in southern Israel.

The seven batteries do not supply any ammunition or fire, and they only have a limited number of anti-aircraft guided missiles in case Palestinian missiles fly towards critical targets. This explains the fact that launches on Ashkelon, Ashdod and Sderot cause virtually no opposition.”

Many a true word spoken in jest…I remember a visitor from the Soviet Union, one Alex (not the MP above, of course), joking with me during a similar prison accommodation crisis (in 1987, I think, and seen on Channel 4 News) that the British Government should make a deal with the Soviet Government to house Brit convicts. Alex said that he could guarantee that the Soviet Government would turn a profit on it.

He ought to have known, he himself having been arrested and convicted, on entirely invented evidence, of having been a spy for a number of secret services. He had been about 18 at the time, and the arrest came in 1948, the peak of the postwar purge. He had then spent 5 years in a camp in the region of Archangel in Northern Russia. Stalin’s death in 1953 had saved him, and millions of others, from longer or worse.

The range and also quality of fruit and vegetables is much reduced, the formerly stellar customer service has almost gone, and there have been other disagreeable changes, while the prices have soared.

It is incredible how, in the Britain of 2023, to state the plain truth, the obvious truth that is staring us in the face, is actually controversial. Sign of a slowly (?) collapsing society.

No wonder most Ukrainians are trying to avoid or evade being used as cannon-fodder.

Collapsed support: a major failure?” For the second day in a row, the German Bild informs its readers that all is lost – despair reigns in Kiev, the situation is critical, and Western supporters are inclined to negotiate. “Soldier fatigue” is one of the biggest dangers.

At the same time, it is absolutely obvious: the situation for Ukraine has not become any less, but even more threatening! The counteroffensive is going less successfully than the Ukrainians and the West would like. The number of victims is extremely high. There is no necessary support in arms from the West. And Russia can produce more per day than the West, despite the sanctions.”

Conservative Party Conference

Saw a few minutes of Sunak’s speech. Pretty pathetic. The HS2 fiasco has become symbolic. Not that I was ever anything other than opposed to the ridiculous vanity project anyway, but now we have massive cost, massive environmental damage etc, but no useful train line at all, just a line that goes to or from Birmingham but only to an outer suburb of London, thus losing its purpose altogether. As said, pathetic.

It seems that Sunak is trying to portray himself as a Prime Minister, when the whole country knows that his popularity (as was that of even more useless Liz Truss) has never been tested via General Election. The longer Sunak holds on, and the longer he puts off a General Election, the worse his position is likely to become. However, if a general election were to be held this year, the result would almost certainly be a disaster for the Conservative Party, and the number of its MPs likely be reduced to around 100, maybe only 50 or so. Therefore, the circus will have to continue into 2024, maybe until December 2024.

Brilliant, and very true.

The Conservative Party Conference 2023. Hard to believe, for anyone who remembers the same convention in the 1970s, 1980s, even 1990s.

Do they support those areas having high fences around them?…

Out of 5 or 6 polling organizations, the highest Labour mark at present is 47%, the lowest 43%; the highest Con mark is 30%, the lowest 24%. LibDems are in the 9%-13% area.

Those figures could give a Labour Party majority of anywhere between 120 and 322 seats, according to Electoral Calculus: see https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

One usually expects a narrowing of the polls prior to a General Election, and there is still maybe as long as 14 months to go before the 2024 General Election, but there is no sign of Con Party revival so far. In fact, the empty conference hall at Manchester is symbolic of what is happening in the country. Even dyed-in-the-wool Conservative voters are deserting, I believe. They are not going to Labour, most of them, but are either going to protest-vote via Reform Party or the LibDems, or simply abstain.

As for Con Party MPs, many are deserting the sinking ship. There is no unity. Even Suella Braverman’s attempt to capture the populist vote has foundered. Useless former Home Secretary (and Israeli agent of influence) Priti Patel has criticized Suella Braverman, as has the Indian money-juggler himself (Sunak).

At the moment, it looks as if Labour will win a huge victory by default. That might change, but how?

Traitors to Europe’s future dance with enemy invaders. I know what I would do to them.

…and see how many passers-by ignore the degeneracy. Brainwashed. Supine.

There was once a time when being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes was a death sentence. The ancient Egyptians first described the disease more than 3,000 years ago. During the many centuries that followed, parents would helplessly watch as their diabetic children slipped into comas and died.

By the 18th century, doctors discovered that a heavily modified diet could slow the disease. Many children were placed on starvation diets with limited carbs, which helped prolong their lives. However, such treatments were not very effective, and some children even starved to death. Fast forward to 1922, when a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital, where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetes. These children were in their deathbeds.

The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject each of them with a new purified extract of insulin that they were able to successfully isolate. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one that was injected began to wake up. Soon, all the children in the room began to wake up—one by one!

The scientists responsible for saving the children’s lives were Frederick Banting and Charles Best. They both agreed that it would be unethical to profit from a discovery that could potentially save millions of lives. They sold the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1. “Insulin belongs to the world, not me,” said Banting.

Not only talented but also extremely altruistic.

I have to admit that, were I in their position, I might have kept the patent for my lifetime, and used the proceeds for my own humanitarian and conservation projects. They decided otherwise, as did another brilliant person, Tim Berners-Lee, the main force behind the World Wide Web.

HS2 should never have been approved. There were and are so many better uses for funding on that scale, even within the transport sector itself.

If not confronted at sea, they will have to be confronted later on land, in Rome, Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Stockholm, or London.

Basic Income will have to come, sooner or later.

“Ukraine” of the Kiev regime has long been a “failed state”; now it is not really a state at all.


Russia cannot lose this war, strategically.

The same or a similar social crisis as across Eurasia. The Japanese and others (including the UK) need to put in place social programmes to ensure that suitable young women reproduce (while the State reduces, steadily, immigrant infiltration). #Lebensborn.

Ben Wallace, a washed-up one-time Guards officer (whose highest rank was Captain), and who is now politically washed-up as well (he ceases to be an MP soon, before the next General Election in 2024) has nothing to add of value.

If the police, prosecutors, and courts behave like enemies, then they are enemies.

I say the same (“very or fairly bad”) about all of those categories, except the buses and the fire service, where I should have to answer “don’t know“.

Slightly simplistic but more true than untrue, in black and white terms.

Bridgen scored 62.8% in North West Leicestershire in 2019. How much of that was “Conservative party” label, and how much personal support is an open question which will be tested next year. He may be lucky, looking at the dwindling support for the Con Party.

In any case, the minister’s very silly idea seems to assume that shoplifters are all very obvious in their behaviour. Seems unlikely. Also, are members of the public likely to want to protect the inflated profits of Tesco etc?

Well, once again a narrow victory for me over political journalist John Rentoul. I scored 7/10 as against his 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 4, and 10.

“They came at breakfast time to murder Theo Bekker, smashing an iron bar stolen from his own farmyard into his skull before slitting his throat so he bled to death.

His four teenage attackers then tied up his wife, Marlinda, and put a plastic bag over her head before she slipped into unconsciousness. Mercifully, she survived.

Twenty-four hours before Mr Bekker’s killing, the nation’s most controversial politician, Julius Malema, had chanted an anthem entitled ‘Kill the Boer’ — a term for white farmers — at a rally of 90,000 followers.

High above the dancing crowd in Johannesburg’s black township of Soweto, Malema was raised on an electric platform like a king.

Sporting his signature red beret, the self-proclaimed ‘freedom fighter’ mimicked the sound of a sub-machine gun — ‘Pah, pah, brrr!’ — as he shouted out his race-baiting song calling for the death of his white countrymen.

This ugly rally marked the 10th anniversary of the founding of Malema’s party, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). It declares itself Marxist-Leninist, wants to seize private property without compensation — particularly farms such as Theo Bekker’s — just as Malema’s hero, Robert Mugabe, did in neighbouring Zimbabwe.

In the past 20 years there has been a farm attack every two days and a murder every five days, with whites of Afrikaans or English descent mainly targeted.

Andrew Kenny, a respected South African commentator, said recently: ‘The ANC has been a disaster, especially for ordinary black people whom it has impoverished while making a tiny ANC elite fabulously rich.

‘After apartheid, our electricity provided the world’s cheapest energy; freight trains carried our ore (from the mines) to the ports; there was a good passenger network for workers. The ANC wrecked it with looting, corruption and a plethora of racist policies.’

The result has been economic collapse and mass exodus. A fifth of whites — both Afrikaans and English speakers — have left since the ANC came to power.

Emigration among the entrepreneurial Indian-descended community is high, too.

Meanwhile, the middle class have abandoned the ANC-controlled cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria in the north — now plagued by no-go areas, ransacked shops, gang warfare and other crime fuelled by unemployment.

They have settled in the Western Cape, the only part of South Africa that is run by the moderate Democratic Alliance.

The speed of the country’s descent has been devastating. Today, only 12 per cent of South Africans of working age pay income tax, while a third survive on £15-a-month state handouts.

World Bank analysts say a staggering 42 per cent of the adult population — the majority black — is unemployed.

[Daily Mail]

Several points to be made here.

First, Africa without European input descends inevitably to savagery. South Africa took longer than others to fall from being a fairly civilized country because it still had, in the 1990s, a fairly high proportion of European inhabitants. In 1911 it was 22%, and in 1980 still about 16%. That proportion has now dwindled to about 5%. Also, many of the more senior political and administrative positions are now filled, nominally, by blacks, selected purely on racial grounds.

Secondly, the black man was promised the Earth by the ANC and its stupid and/or uneducated leaders, starting with Mandela. The simpler type of South African black obviously believed that, once black “majority rule” (in reality, rule by a few, in a black semi-dictatorship) occurred, the blacks would all have the high standards of living of South African whites of the 1960s, 1970s or 1980s; houses, swimming pools, cars etc. In fact, for a few blacks, the leading ANC politicians, that did happen, but for the other 99.999% or more it did not.

The frustration of the South African blacks will be visited upon, not the ANC, but the remaining white people.

Thirdly, the lack of forethought etc under ANC rule became clear during the most recent drought, though wetter weather eventually saved Cape Town from disaster. That maladministration will eventually be seen in all sectors.

Finally, see how even the Daily Mail scribbler in the full report, one Sue Reid, still repeats the propaganda half-truths or untruths of the dim pro-ANC “British” msm of the 1980s/1990s: “cruel apartheid regime” etc…

If Indian money-juggler Sunak thinks that he can duck and dive by keeping the State Pension “Triple Lock” but clawing back money by taking away the Winter Fuel Allowance from many, perhaps most, pensioners, he is very mistaken. That would alienate pensioner voters, but without encouraging younger voters to vote Con in 2024.

The implementation of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan (basically, to funnel non-white populations to Europe, in order to create over time a coffee-coloured population to be ruled over by an exploitative stratum, mostly consisting of Jews and part-Jews) is happening in front of our eyes; in plain sight, pretty much.

I wonder whether that horrible social “disintegration” may be what is necessary to awaken the British people to the need for social national radical reform. Germany only chose Hitler when events and circumstances had reduced most of the population to poverty and hopelessness. Only 2.6% voted for the NSDAP in 1928. By 1932 that was 33% and, by 1933, 44%.

Not only can they not create a civilization, many of them cannot even live in one created by others (broadly, the white man) without being completely destructive and useless. Parasites. Useless parasites.

We hear a great deal, mostly from (((the usual suspects))) about how the USA was built on waves on immigration, but that is at best a half-truth. There is considerable evidence that the USA would have been a better country had it not accepted the huge numbers of immigrants arriving after the Civil War (up to the First World War and continuing).

David Davis, one of the few principled System MPs, not that I agree with all of his views. The UK might have been a better country today had the Conservative Party adopted him as leader instead of David Cameron-Levita.

UKRAINIAN President Vladimir Zelensky agreed with the representatives of the United States and Great Britain on a plan for a new offensive by his army, the goal of which will be the seizure of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

This was announced by the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, citing a “source close to the competent authorities”. She quoted that source: “For these purposes, a large number of marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are concentrated in the Mykolaiv region. Their task will be to force the Dnieper River. At the same time, the Kiev special operations forces, which are trained by British instructors, will try to seize the Zaporozhye nuclear plant.”

“We are closely following the actions of the enemy,” the same source emphasized.”

“Scott Ritter: Kiev listens to the West, and because of that, it can lose a number of cities.

Ukraine is doomed to lose a large part of its territory because it continues to blindly listen to the West in everything, said former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter in an interview with the YouTube channel “Midwestern Marks”.

“Representatives of Ukraine came to Turkey…. A meeting was held there where the conditions for resolving the conflict were agreed upon. Russia offered them excellent conditions… But NATO and the West did not allow them to accept it…

As a result, they have already lost a lot of territory,” Ritter said, adding that Ukraine is also at risk of losing Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Odessa.

Russia has invested more in the Kherson region in one year than Ukraine has invested in 30 years, said the head of the regional government Andrey Aleksejenko, on the occasion of the anniversary of the unification of the new regions with Russia.

“It must be said that the Kherson region has not seen such a scale of construction and repair of roads, schools, hospitals and communal infrastructure since Soviet times,” Aleksejenko said.”

“Heavy rains in October may prevent the Ukrainian army from using Western tanks, writes the “New York Times”. “Heavy rain is expected next month. However, the problem is the mud on the roads because, for example, the 75-ton “Challenger” tank can simply sink,” the newspaper writes.

If these tanks do not “conquer” the territory during the counter-offensive, Western support could weaken… Either because of a lack of political will or a lack of the West’s desire to deliver more weapons to Kiev, the authors emphasize.”

Russia cannot lose the war, strategically.
