“A Utah mother whose harsh parenting advice made her a YouTube influencer has been sentenced to at least four years in prison for child abuse.
The two women were arrested in August 2023 after Franke’s malnourished 12-year-old son climbed out of a window at Hildebrandt’s house in Ivins, Utah. Police said the child then ran to a neighbour’s house and asked for food and water. He had lacerations from being tied up with rope, according to police records.
“[YouTube] fans started to become suspicious in 2020, when one of her sons mentioned that he had been forced to sleep on a bean bag for seven months.
YouTube viewers combed through her archives and pointed out other disturbing and controversial methods used by Franke – such as withholding food, threatening to chop the head off a toy stuffed animal and “cancelling” Christmas as a punishment.
Franke then began appearing in YouTube videos posted by Ms Hildebrandt – a counsellor and life coach – on her site, ConneXions Classroom.
Away from the camera, however, Franke’s children were being subjected to even harsher abuse.
This included tying them up, beating and kicking them, neglecting to feed them and forcing them to work outdoors in the summer without sunscreen, resulting in serious sunburn, according to police records.
In a plea agreement, Hildebrandt stated that she either tortured the children or was aware of the abuse and that she forced one of Franke’s daughters to “jump into a cactus multiple times”.

Terrible, and comes against a background of too-strict American parenting, though plenty of too-indulgent parenting exists there too. I concede that, as someone without offspring, I write as a mere observer. I do think, though, that many Americans are too strict with their children, but I admit that I have also seen much of the opposite tendency (children allowed to behave and speak rather rudely).

As Powell said, “we must be mad, literally mad“, but it is not the British people themselves but a small minority —at Westminster, in the newspapers, on TV and radio, in the legal professions and the universities etc— who are the guilty parties.
In fact, the British people as a whole do bear at least some of the guilt, for being so apathetic as to allow themselves to be repressed and then, as is now happening, replaced.
"Over the next twelve years, 92% of all of Britain’s population growth will be driven by immigration"https://t.co/fvp6Iunciv
Nearly 100%, in fact, because almost all of the remaining 8% will be births to first, or second, or third-generation non-white women, and a relative few to white women but first/second/third-generation immigrant fathers. Hardly any to white couples.
“My daughter is two years-old. She’s already lived through three prime ministers, four chancellors, two monarchs, a global pandemic, and wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. What will she live through in the years ahead, I often wonder?
It’s a question most parents ask themselves. And it’s one I asked myself again yesterday while reading a new forecast on how Britain’s population will change over the next twelve years —which is not a very long time at all.
The forecast, from the independent Office for National Statistics, is striking to say the least. And I suspect many people out there in the country, many of the people who are perhaps reading this Substack, will find it deeply worrying.
By the year 2036, by the time my daughter turns fifteen, Britain’s population will have grown by another 6.6 million people. In just fifteen years, in just three election cycles, the population will surge by 10 per cent, rising from 67 million people to nearly 74 million. And of the additional 6.6 million people in the country —another 6.6 million people using the NHS, the GPs, the schools, the roads, and looking for a house to buy or rent— some 6.1 million will be here because of immigration.“

Does that idiot even believe what he is saying? Ukraine (Kiev regime) cannot “win”. It cannot regain the oblasti of Donetsk, Lugansk (and/or Crimea etc). It cannot attack, in any serious way, Russia itself.
It could only achieve those objectives by drawing NATO directly into the war (leading, probably, to a world war), or by somehow contriving a palace revolution in Moscow. Neither of those possibilities is likely to take place.
I have been wondering why the Western msm obsession with Navalny. Was it because, after the death of Boris Nemtsov, Navalny was the only high-profile opposition figure in Russia? Like Nemtsov, his support was only about 5% of the population, and could never have reached even 20%.
As blogged previously, I think that Navalny was almost certainly a braver man than me (going back from exile in Germany to almost-certain arrest in Russia), and certainly a more reckless one, inter alia.
The pandemic was never “Covid”. The pandemic was cowardice.

He is and always was pro-NWO etc. An “Atlanticist”, if you like. Now he seems to be regurgitating lying Israeli government propaganda instead of pro-Churchill ahistory.

Though the obvious thing is to talk about “co-incidence”, or perhaps the attempts —if any— by those bombing and shelling to avoid collateral damage to religious buildings, it may be that there is a supernatural element to such manifestations.

As to Matt Goodwin, at first I thought him just a minor academic who had woken up to the madness of permitting mass immigration etc and so had, shall we say, “modified” his views.
Later, more recently, I thought that Goodwin was either trying to lay the basis for a new political movement, with himself as the director —and/but for genuine reasons— or perhaps was trying to make money out of it; his Substack blog is monetized and he now has 24,000 paying (?) subscribers.
Now I really wonder whether Goodwin is under some sort of “control”. His views as expressed have undergone a considerable metamorphosis over the past few years. Of course, people do often, and genuinely, change their views, either “just because” or because they see the impossible-to-ignore in front of them.
Goodwin’s pro-Israelism, and apparent pro-Jewish lobby views, give me cause for concern.
Goodwin is now seen often on TV.
The Substack subscription seems to be (I am unsure) about a pound or so per week. Modest, arguably, but he now has 24,000 subscribers. If they are all paying that, a very good income indeed for him (maybe £100,000+ per month. Can that be right?). Even if only a quarter or a tenth are paying £5 each month, not at all bad…
Conclusion: undecided. He may be a System puppet, creating more “controlled opposition” (and witness his support for the rather pathetic Reform UK, for Farage etc), or he may be doing what he is doing for genuine reasons, or for fame and/or money. Or a mixture of all (a “Father Gapon” situation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgy_Gapon). I just do not know.

The Kiev regime has only two chances: one, to join NATO, and then be able to call upon NATO forces under the Treaty obligations. That is why NATO states will not allow Ukraine to join, because it would lead to a world war before very long.
The second Kiev regime opportunity to avoid defeat would be a revolution or palace revolution in Moscow, and the end of the Putin administration. That is not going to happen.
The Kiev regime should cede to Russia all of Eastern Ukraine, and should then agree to make Kiev and Odessa “open cities” or, failing that, condominia. The present members of the Kiev regime can then fall back on Lvov (or disappear to Israel or the USA).

Not sure that I agree with that, though fraud (especially one person using another’s postal vote) is obviously a problem, particularly in areas with high non-white and especially Muslim populations.
Sophie Corcoran is a pro-Conservative Party, maybe pro-Reform UK —I don’t know enough about her exact views— talking head. She does not seem to have considered that both Reform UK and (maybe even more) the Conservative Party are those mostly voted for via postal voting, which affects the mostly middle-aged and elderly people most likely to have disabilities and chronic medical conditions.
Ms. Corcoran’s proposed postal vote ban would therefore probably be the final straw breaking the back of the Conservative Party.
Rochdale is a rather different situation. I shall blog about the upcoming by-election (29 February 2024) before the day.
When I lived in Almaty, Kazakhstan for a year (1996-1997) I had, in the course of my work, some limited contact with an Israeli businessman in his sixties or seventies who headed a large energy company with interests in Kazakhstan. The company was based in or near Tel Aviv, maybe at Herzliya.
The Israeli was (I was told by others) a former general in the Israeli Army. I accompanied him to a meeting with the UK Ambassador, at the British Embassy (which I visited fairly often). The Embassy was then in Furmanov Street, Almaty (the capital of Kazakhstan was then still at Almaty).
That Israeli (who from his accent originated in the UK, maybe in London) told me that (unlike the British Ambassador, whom he found insufficiently interested in his problems) every Israeli ambassador is given, by his superiors in Israel, a list of duties including how many contacts, including business contacts, to make in a year, how many business opportunities for Israelis to make or facilitate etc.
“They” are relentless.
Incidentally, I have no idea why he did not use the Israeli Ambassador for what he wanted. Maybe he did that as well. Probably.
Oddly, he did not have (at least with him) a UK passport as well as his Israeli one (I know that); so, despite the semi-“British” accent (and knowledge of London) he was probably not a dual-passport-holder. Not a hugely pleasant person, and (as I believe is common in Israel) rather abrasive in manner.
Well, that Israeli general and international business leech must have gone up the chimney many years ago now. This was in late 1996, over 27 years ago; so, in itself, it is just another of life’s memories.

When I lived in New Jersey in the early 1990s, my first wife (an American) and I drove a couple of times to a small shop outside the centre of Newark, which shop had been left, as if washed up on the shore, after the race riots of the late 1960s, mainly 1967, which had trashed the (then) better parts of the city. That shop sold maybe 50, maybe 100 types of ground coffee. Guatemalan, Zimbabwean, you name it.
At one time, pre-1967, Newark had been fairly decent, but after 1967, 100,000 white people left the city, leaving it a drug-ridden, crime-ridden remnant. Having said that, I sometimes walked in the main streets there, or caught the PATH Line to Manhattan, and I never had any trouble. Maybe I looked too poor or too angry to mug.
[intersection of Broad and Market streets, Newark, NJ, 2005]
My first wife’s office was by the Federal building in central Newark, though we lived at least half an hour’s drive south, in Middlesex County, and close to the Monmouth County line.
Actually, even the “Federal” enclave in Newark was not completely safe. Two FBI agents were held up and robbed at gunpoint in the same supposedly guarded car park that my wife and her small group of colleagues used. Strange; I believe that the FBI are supposed to be armed at all times when in public. Maybe they were caught napping. After the mugging, the local police had a patrol car parked by that car park every late afternoon and evening.
Cities can of course fall into desolation via social factors alone, without war. Drugs, poverty, cultural decadence, breakdown of social trust, breakdown of social order generally. It worries me what I see in the UK whenever I have to go to heavily-urban areas (thankfully now not often). What will Britain be like by, say, 2030, or 2040? God knows.

Well, an unusual week, in that I was outscored by political journalist John Rentoul, who managed 6/10; I only got 5/10. I nearly guessed the answer to question 1, but could not be sure, and also came close on question 7. As it was, I only knew for sure the answers to questions 2, 3, 6, 8, and 9.

Zionists fake cry in an attempt to get a peaceful, law-abiding protest shut down.
Exactly so. Labour actually offers nothing (except, possibly, arguably, tighter administration) that is not offered or done by the present “Conservative” misgovernment. Having said that, the voters plainly wish to punish the Government for being so weak and, indeed, hopeless.
It was surprising to see that just over a third of the Kingswood voters who voted, still voted Con, albeit that the turnout was well under 40% (so only about 10% or so of all eligible voters voted Con), but that may indicate that in a general election, the Con vote in that constituency (were it not being abolished) would be nearer to 20% or 25%, on a putative turnout of about 70%. However, that would still be not enough to win (were the seat to still exist at GE 2024).
According to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] cabal (on its website), “lord” Ian Austin, the notorious Israel-lobby and Jewish-lobby puppet who was once an MP, and who is one of the “Patrons” of the “CAA”, actually wrote to the Director of Public Prosecutions in 2022 demanding that I be prosecuted for expressing my views on this blog.
Regular readers of the blog will know that I was tried last November, found guilty on all 5 counts, and will be sentenced next month. Freedom of expression is almost dead, and a large part of the reason for that is the existence of the Jew-Zionist lobby.
Austin is very odd. He once tweeted that pornography involving bestiality should be decriminalized, a view echoed by the Jewish girl at the centre of the campaign against Dr. David Miller of Bristol University. Those tweets were later deleted. At the same time, Austin thinks that “holocaust” “denial” should be criminalized!
Austin’s quite long Wikipedia entry says nothing at all about his personal life.
You can bet that Austin makes sure to “sign on” at the House of Lords every sitting day, in order to get his c.£350 a day taxfree cash “allowance” and other freebies.
I wonder how many other lucrative part-time jobs (in the argot of today, “side-hustles”) Austin has. That housing chairmanship was almost certainly only one of several.
Austin almost personifies the corrupt pro-Israel political system of the UK today, as well as Starmer-Labour.

When I was a GP 10 years ago, these were the wait times for a medical specialty referral:
Lack of funding is part of that, but I doubt that the tweeter (obviously Indian) would agree that another large part of the problem is the half-million to a million immigrants of various kinds every single year.
Yes, a tiny percentage of the migration influx consists of doctors and nurses, but the other 99.9% are those who will not work in the NHS but will use its services.
Then factor in the disastrous “lockdowns” and/or restricted service throughout 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Then factor in the other recent developments: the strikes in the NHS, and the explosion of part-time working by GPs and the better-paid clinical staff generally, and also the phenomenon of medical students getting trained here in the UK, mainly at UK taxpayers’ expense (despite student loans), then emigrating to countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc for more money and a better lifestyle. They should have to work in the NHS for 5-10 years after qualification and training.

“Highlighting the fact mass immigration is directly fuelling our housing crisis clashes with the elite’s “luxury beliefs”. Routinely, they demand more and more immigrants, looser and looser borders, to project their liberal beliefs to other elites all the while knowing they and their families will never be the ones to have to compete with immigrants and newcomers for a roof above their heads.”
“As Andrew Neil said in response: “And the Tories wonder why young folks won’t vote for them”. Indeed. At the looming general election just 8% of Zoomers from Generation-Z plan to vote Conservative.
This is why, last weekend, housing secretary Michael Gove went further, touring media in Westminster to warn if young British people and families remain unable to get on the housing ladder ‘they will abandon democracy’.“
Our day in the sun may be nearer than we ourselves, as social nationalists, realize.
Look at recent by-elections. Only a third of voters are even bothering to vote. They despise the System parties and refuse to validate those “elected”, who have no real legitimacy.
By that date (2036), UK society will have either collapsed into civil war or chaos, or be very close to that point.
Only social nationalism can save Britain; and, frankly, even that will be a struggle. Things are very bad and, equally important, getting worse, and rapidly.

“Scholz blocked the candidacy of Ursula von der Leyen for the post of NATO Secretary General, – Welt. According to the publication, there were two reasons for this:
Scholz considers the position of NATO Secretary General too important to give it to a Christian Democrat from Germany (opposition to Scholz’s party).
Scholz considers Ursula von der Leyen’s attitude towards Russia too critical.“
Die Welt is a heavyweight German conservative newspaper. Its business-oriented attitudes make it interesting that, recently, its coverage has mellowed towards Russia. The sanctions on Russia, and the general hostility to Russia from such as Ursula von der Leyen harm, not Russia, but Germany itself (and the rest of the EU).
Ursula von der Leyen always strikes me as —in the American phrase— “nutty”— excessively driven, and even mentally-ill. Another similar specimen is Christine Lagarde. NWO insiders.
It looks like Scholz and other major political players in Germany are waking up to the fact of the inevitable Russian victory in Ukraine, certainly in Eastern Ukraine. Realpolitik.

Unsurprising, given that Milei is a populist. However, this may be shadow boxing.
The UK now has not the power and global reach to defend the islands, certainly not to retake them after an invasion, as happened in 1982.
However, by the same token it may well be that the Argentine government does not today have the ability to launch such an invasion in the first place; I am unsure.

In the unlikely event that Russia starts to be pushed back significantly on the battlefield because of such weapons given to the Kiev regime, the escalation might result in Russia using ever-heavier missiles and bombs, even tactical nuclear weapons. Kiev could be completely flattened
There must be a peace process that leaves Russia with, at minimum, Crimea, the Donetsk region, and the Lugansk region, and at least much of the Azov Sea and Black Sea littoral.
That relates to the Russian victory in the devastated city of Avdeevka (“Avdiivka” in Ukrainian). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avdiivka. Victory was declared by the Russian side only today. The Kiev-regime forces not killed or captured have withdrawn in disarray.

Interesting, if true. A few thoughts come to my mind. Firstly, what conceivable British interest was being served here? None, in my view. As to the alleged MI6/SIS officer, he seems to be a good listener (which must be part of his job) and is evidently trying to be non-committal yet friendly (also part of his job, I presume). Other than that, hard to say much about him. Maybe privately-educated but trying to flatten the accent (like the present Prince of Wales and his brother)? Maybe, maybe not. A suitably “grey” person…
Navalny and his group were playing for high stakes. They lost.
There's no restrictions. No objection by police to placing flowers. Nothing. They are entirely polite and helpful.
The msm in the EU, UK, USA etc all show the masses a series of pictures (on TV, in the Press) etc; metaphorical pictures; shadows on the wall of the cave, if you like. “Ukraine”, “Navalny”, “Black Lives Matter”, “Covid”, “far right extremism”, “Russia about to attack Western Europe”.

Late music
[River Ob at Barnaul, Western Siberia. At that point, the Ob is still 1,200 miles from where it flows into the Arctic Ocean]
I remember that song. 1967; I was a 10-y-o child living in Mosman, a North Shore suburb of Sydney. Different times (look at the comments appended to that YouTube video).
“Major French magazine L’Express has revealed that its prominent former editor, Philippe Grumbach, was a KGB spy for 35 years.
He counted presidents, actors and literary giants as close friends. He was a legendary figure in journalism who shaped the editorial direction of one of France’s most successful publications. When he died in 2003, Minister of Culture Jean-Jacques Aillagon said Grumbach had been “one of the most memorable and respected figures in French media”.
But he was also “Brok”, the KGB spy.
Extensive proof of Grumbach’s duplicitous life can be found in the so-called Mitrokhin archive.
Born in Paris in 1924 into a Jewish family, Grumbach fled France with his mother and siblings in 1940 – the year Nazi Germany invaded and Marshal Philippe Pétain took power in Vichy with a collaborationist regime.“

The Wellingborough and Kingswood by-elections
At Wellingborough, a convincing win for Labour. I thought that it might go closer than it did. Labour 45.9%, Conservatives 24.6%, Reform UK 13%. All 8 other candidates lost their deposits; the LibDems came closest with 4.7%. A local Independent, Marion Turner-Hawes, scored 3.7% and probably would have beaten the LibDems had she been the only Independent standing. The Greens, as usual, were nowhere (6th) on 3.4%, and Britain First was even more “nowhere” on 1.6%.
The Conservatives were let down partly by the choice of candidate, the girlfriend of unpleasant former MP, Peter Bone. Having said that, the main reason for the electoral upset was that people want a change, even if it is really not much of a change, or the wrong change. They wanted, also, to stamp on the Conservative Party.
The Conservative candidate tried to make “stopping the boats“, i.e. the continuing cross-Channel migration-invasion, the issue. Of course, the fact is that the cross-Channel invasion is only a tenth, if that, of the main invasion— the enormous influx of “students”, “family-members”, “highly-skilled workers” (Indians that can work a computer) as well as supposed “asylum-seekers” etc.
Also, the “Conservative” governments of 2010-2024 have not even seriously tried to “stop the boats”, let alone the main migration-invasion. Not far short of a million a year now.
A better candidate, and one not tied up with Peter Bone, might have scored higher, maybe well over 30%, and so lost less embarrassingly.
A real social-national party, if one existed, might have won. Turnout was only 38%; a huge 62% of those eligible to vote did not bother, or showed their contempt for the whole system via abstention.
No need to “analyze” the Britain First vote— pathetic. As for Reform UK, it is going to have to do a lot better than that if it is going to start winning seats. Another pro-Israel scam-party by Nigel Farage.
Overall, the result is another nail in the coffin of the Rishi Sunak government, and the Conservative Party (and Sunak himself, of course).
I should be ready to bet that, if voters aged 65+ (many of whom would have voted early by post) were taken away, the remaining Con Party vote would have been no more than 10%.
Kingswood, north of Bristol and in effect an outer suburb of Bristol, also returned a Labour MP yesterday. Pointlessly, of course, because not only will there be a general election this year but, also, the constituency is being abolished.
The result was Labour 44.9%, Conservatives 34.9%, Reform UK 10.4%, Green 5.8%, LibDems 3.5%, UKIP 0.5%.
Turnout was 37.1%, even lower than at Wellingborough. Almost two-thirds of those eligible could not be bothered to vote, and/or despise the whole circus.
The Labour candidate had the advantage of being of local origin, more or less, combined with not being a Conservative. His unusual personal life (gay, and having converted from Roman Catholicism to Judaism to fit in with his Jewish “civil partner”) seems to have been disregarded by the voters (meaning the 11,176 who voted for him, out of about 80,000; the other ~68,000 were eligible to vote but either did not vote or voted for other candidates).
The Conservative Party candidate came closer than I had expected. His own local origins can probably be thanked for that. The Farage vehicle, Reform UK, came third, but again seems to be —time after time— the “also ran” party…
The Greens saved their deposit and beat the LibDems into 5th place. The rump of UKIP came last, and one has to wonder why candidates for no-hope parties like that even bother.
Yet another nail in Sunak’s political coffin, of course.
Taking away the local aspects of both by-elections, for me the “takeaways” are that this “Conservative” government is toast, that Sunak is toast, and that the Conservative Party is toast. Also, that the LibDems are seen as dull and, except where they have a good tactical chance against a Conservative candidate, unappealing to voters.
More? Well, that Reform UK is not exciting enough people, not yet anyway, to start being a major player. Also, that the Greens only appeal to around 5% of the electorate, if that.
Finally, for me the point is that, in both of these by-elections, only just over a third of people even bothered to vote; without postal voting, that 37%/38% would probably have been nearer to 20%. The voters most interesting to me are those not presently energized to vote.
What do these results say about GE 2024? That Labour must be en route to victory, though a victory not welcomed by all, or even a majority, of the voters. A feeling of dull meaninglessness, perhaps. A hollow victory?
For the Conservative Party, these results must mean that the bulk of their MPs are on the way out. 50 may survive, maybe 100.

I agree with the first bit, but only partly with the second. Many 2019 Con Party voters seem to be switching, in despair, to Reform UK, but that would be only a small minority of the overall electorate. Look at the turnout figures from yesterday. Only a third (just over) of eligible voters even voted. Reform UK, with its limited “conservative nationalism” “cosplay”, its pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby attitude, and its semi-“libertarian” economics, will never inspire even a half of the voters. Maybe 10%, maybe 20%. I doubt that it will go higher.
The fact is that, even at Kingswood, where the result scarcely mattered in itself (a general election this year, and the seat then ceasing to exist), Reform UK only gathered in 13% of the votes, i.e. about 5% of all possible votes. The Wellingborough result was similar: 9.4% of votes cast, i.e. about 3% of all possible votes.
Only a fully-credible social-national party might be able to energise and inspire the British people. That party does not exist.
NEW POST. Sunak's Sinking — By-elections, recession, and a party in decline https://t.co/UkQl6UYyjf
“Today, the Tories are only holding half the people who voted for them at the last general election, in 2019, and only a little more than one in three of the people who voted for Brexit, in 2016. These are supposed to be the party’s core supporters. But many of them are now abandoning Sunak in droves, running for the hills.
And do you blame them? Seriously? Given some of the other events this week it’s not hard to see why. For a start, Sunak’s failure to control Britain’s borders was reflected in the remarkable finding that just 1.3% of the illegal migrants who entered Britain on the small boats since 2018 have been removed from the country.
And then came the latest data on the dire state of the economy, which confirms Britain is in recession and suffering the longest hit to living standards since records began, in 1955. Contrary to Sunak’s pledge to deliver economic growth, this week we learned that throughout his first year in office Britain’s economy grew by just 0.1%, while GDP per capita —which adjusts for population growth — fell by 0.7%.
This, too, will prompt many voters to ask Sunak some tough questions. Where is the growth you promised? Where is the strong economy? And where is the growth the Treasury, the Office for Budget Responsibility, and countless other experts told us would surely arrive if Britain opened its doors to unprecedented immigration?
The answer is it’s nowhere to be seen, partly because rather than deliver the high-skill, high-wage, highly-selective, and highly productive immigration the Tories have been promising since Brexit they’ve instead delivered low-skill, low-wage, non-selective, and unproductive immigration from outside Europe, which has been shown to be a net fiscal cost rather than a net benefit to Western economies.
...more and more [voters] are turning off and tuning out. Just look at the rates of turnout at the latest by-elections. Labour and Keir Starmer are not setting Britain on fire, far from it; the Tories are staying home.
These voters aren’t idiots. They know they’ve been led down the garden path by a Conservative government and a Conservative prime minister which have routinely overpromised and underdelivered.
These voters want decent economic growth and an economic model which prioritises British people. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories have given them more of the same.
These voters want much lower and manageable rates of immigration. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories keep putting mass migration on steroids. And these voters want strong and secure borders and a government which prioritises the security of the British people. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories have lost control of our borders, largely because they refuse to reform laws and leave conventions which make it impossible to remove illegal migrants and foreign nationals who commit crime, as we saw with the shocking case of Abdul Ezedi.“
[Matt Goodwin, on his Substack blog]
In any case, the UK needs no immigration at all. It needs to educate and train real British people to a far higher level, and then provide suitable employment for them. British people, real British people.
Suitable employment, appropriate and decent pay; decent housing; decent transport; decent medical care; decent social care; also, decent architecture and town planning.
Labour has two more MPs after by-elections this week – but this is by default, because Tory voters didn't bother to turn out. Labour also is less popular.

BREAKING: Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has died, the prison service of the Yamalo-Nenets region where he had been serving his sentence said https://t.co/L0YtgkcjKMpic.twitter.com/x7xFV3UERB
The Federal Penitentiary Service of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District said that Navalny 'felt unwell' after a walk at the IK-3 penal colony in Kharp, about 1,200 miles north east of Moscow. Navalny, the prison service said, had lost consciousness almost immediately pic.twitter.com/xtHflzjNC7
Defying the Kremlin can be dangerous. The story that Navalny “felt unwell after he went for a walk” is obviously unlikely.
The daytime temperature in that region today is about -20C. Cold weather for a stroll, even for a Russian.
As to Navalny himself, I knew nothing of him beyond what was occasionally on TV news or in the newspapers. I was unable to understand why he returned to Russia after he had recovered from having been poisoned in Russia and flown to Germany for treatment.
My conclusion (beyond the apparent fact that Navalny was a braver man than me— and a more foolish one, arguably) is that he had a huge amount of egotism. He probably wildly over-estimated his popularity in Russia (in fact only about 5% supported him), and may have thought that arriving in Moscow on a private jet with a horde of Western reporters on board would probably protect him, especially as thousands of his supporters (mostly Moscow-based) would be awaiting his arrival at Vnukovo (one of the four main airports in the Moscow region: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vnukovo_International_Airport).
I may be wrong, but I think that Navalny may have thought that his return to Russia would be akin to that of Lenin in 1917. However, Lenin was never in any danger of arrest and detention in 1917, and had not only supporters but an armed guard force at his historic speech at the Finlandsky Station in Petrograd. Also, the Tsarist Government had already effectively fallen. There was no-one to arrest him.
Navalny has, by reason of his imprisonment and probable murder, achieved the status of martyr, but had he ever become leader of Russia, might have been as harsh, and probably less effective, than Putin.
I am old enough to remember how the usually-wrong Western msm thought, in the 1980s, that Andropov would be “liberal” (mainly because he was said to like jazz). The same or similar was said in the late 1970s of the African tyrant Robert Mugabe (“well-educated” by Jesuits, and a “democrat” by African standards. So they said…). Indeed, look at how the globalist msm lauded thick-as-two-short-planks Nelson Mandela…
Well, there it is.
One interesting aspect to the news coverage in the UK today is that it has been so extensive. In a way, surprising, when Navalny had no real support base in Russia, and never had a real chance of deposing Putin.
Were I more of a conspiracy theorist than people think I am, I should suspect that the UK TV people are using the Navalny matter to talk less about yesterday’s by-election results.
Also, the Kiev-regime forces are crumbling on the Ukrainian front-line.
Many, even perhaps I myself, might think that a retaliatory strike by Israel on Gaza, immediately after the October 2023 incursion, meaning in the following few days, would probably fall into the “self-defence” and “proportionate” area (leaving aside the behaviour of the Israeli Jews since 1948), but what has happened since then is a cruel slaughter and devastation worse than the much-criticized Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto by German forces in 1943. The Germans did evacuate most of the non-combatant Jews before killing or capturing the rest (saboteurs, terrorists, and rebels) and then levelling the area.
Which of the following do you think would make the best prime minister?
According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that would still leave the Con Party with 117 MPs. Maybe. One or two points can make a big difference. For example, if the Con/Lab numbers were 23% and 45% respectively, the Cons would have only 97 MPs.
Also, these polls always over-estimate the Green vote. When and where (except at Brighton Pavilion) did the Greens get anywhere close to 8%? 5% is more usual; or lower.
Gee, I thought of Julian Assange who was put in the worst prison in the UK on April 11, 2019 for the crime of reporting true information about our government crimes. But we don't do what the Russians do, right?

For me, the main thing is to break the rigged “two main parties” system (scam). So if the Conservative Party is trampled upon and left almost powerless at GE 2024, good, even though that would be at the cost of a Labour Party “elected dictatorship” for up to 5 years. With one large party reduced to almost nothing, the System’s rhythm will be disrupted. No more the idea that “the other lot” will be better. With the Cons deflated, and the LibDems already on the floor, other ideas, social-national ideas, will come through, one way or the other.

“Carlson dedicated a separate video to the Moscow metro.
The journalist was struck by the contrast of the capital’s subway with American metro stations filled with homeless people, dirt and graffiti.
According to Carlson, the Moscow metro is clean and orderly, despite the fact that the Kievskaya station, which Tucker reviewed, was built more than half a century ago.
“How is it that Russia has a metro station that people use every day to commute to and from work, and it looks better than anything else in our country?”, noted Carlson.”
When I was first in Moscow, in 1993, I used the Kievskaya metro station daily (though I also had a car and driver at my disposal). I was staying nearby, at the Ukraina Hotel.
The first tweeter, head of the “Holocaust Educational Trust” propaganda org, is a committed Zionist, of course.
Even if the headlines are “true” to some extent (though, as always with “them”, hugely overblown), I think that one has to ask the reason why. The Gaza brutality, ethnic cleansing and quasi-genocide is only part of the reason…
In election year, I want to know where candidates stand on:
I was just looking at the Betfair Politics website. At Wellingborough, Labour remain even-money favourite; Cons are at around 7/1 from 6/1 yesterday.
At Kingswood (Bristol), both Labour and the Greens are around even money. The LibDems, whom I thought would be the main challenge to any Labour upset, have drifted out to 70/1, having been 2/1 only yesterday (Cons 10/1, Reform UK 85/1).
[Update, same day: the LibDems are now back to 2/1; maybe there was an error on the Betfair site, or more interest in the LibDems— I do not know. The betting now is similar to yesterday’s market: Lab even money, LibDems and Greens 2/1, but Cons are now out to 21/1, and Reform UK to 120/1].
The betting market is an unreliable guide to the result of by-elections, but it looks as though the punters, at least, are saying Wellingborough Lab, but Kingswood either Green or Lab.
I still think that it might be fairly close in Wellingborough, despite the Bone scandals and the unpopularity of the Government, but it is obviously Labour’s contest to lose. Many usual Con voters may vote Labour purely as a protest; many will also abstain in disgusted apathy. At Kingswood, I cannot see the Con candidate having any realistic chance.
If the Cons lose both seats badly, will Sunak resign? Maybe not, but there might be enough discontent in the Conservative Party MP ranks to stiffen the backs of the —usually spineless— Con MPs, and for there to be a leadership challenge.
It is hard to see that any new Conservative Party leader could turn around the fortunes of the Cons so close to a general election but, on the other hand, it might be those MPs’ last despairing throw, hoping against hope that a new figurehead might, if not win GE 2024, at least mitigate the expected losses, saving maybe 50-100 seats; i.e. instead of Con Party ending up with 50-100 seats, they might hope for 100-150 or even more.
Imagine how weak the tories are when they support a creepy, sex-pest's mistress because he threatened to stand as an independent if they didn't.
The sad thing about that tweet is that the tweeter seems to think that “Labour” will make a difference once it forms a government, as will probably happen later this year. All major Labour people now are Labour Friends of Israel members, and/or freemasons. Join the dots…

She said the thieves also poured bleach over her grandmother’s sofa, clothes, and curtains. Piles of clothes and belongings were scattered around Betty’s home in the Shard End area of Birmingham. Rebecca says every door was broken and the heartless criminals even smashed windows.
The robbery took place last Saturday (February 10), which would have been Betty’s late husband’s birthday. Betty’s family now say she is too terrified to live in her own home. Rebecca shared poignant photos of a teary-eyed Betty in her armchair surrounded by the mess.”

Kevin Maguire is one of the worst fakes on TV and in the Press. Poses as a radical “socialist”, but in reality is a Blairite system-Labour drone with kneejerk “anti-Tory”-ism. He lives with his wife and family in affluent circumstances. They have a house in Richmond or Wimbledon (I forget), SW London, as well as another house in the South West of England, maybe the expensive part of coastal Devon near Salcombe (again, I cannot recall exactly).
Maguire will back the Labour Party under the likes of Blair, Brown, and Starmer no matter what, and will oppose anything else, no matter what. He favours mass immigration, and opposes anything which does not fit his narrow and rigid world-view. He will always support the Israel lobby in Labour. Not worth reading or listening to. Not an original idea in his head.
And you are chauffered driven to all your tv shows like GMB ,Sky News, Loose Women and your radio shows on Radio Shields, none of which you pay for either
As I said, pro-immigration, and without a logical or worthwhile thought in his head.
As a matter of fact, those rigged TV comment slots with Maguire on “one side” and the Daily Mail scribbler Pierce on “the other side” are just ludicrous. The only real disagreement between the two of them is on details and personalities. Both just System drones.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Jews laugh at the suffering their armed forces are inflicting on helpless civilians. Outside the region, it is little different, except that many Jews are whining that Zionism and Israel are being criticized etc. They claim to be fearful, even those that live in the UK or France, though really nothing has happened to them yet.
I did blog, a few months ago, to the effect that there were unexplained aspects to the October attack, such as the apparent total failure of the supposedly very efficient Israeli intelligence and security apparat; such as the lengthy wait between the attack itself and any Israeli military response (especially in view of the small size of the country).
I asked the question whether this was akin to the mendacity of F.D. Roosevelt, who seems to have known about Pearl Harbor before it happened, and withdrew his most powerful ships from Hawaii prior to the actual attack. In that case, the purpose was to get the USA into the Second World War directly.
It still seems unlikely to me that the Israeli leadership allowed the October attack to happen, but stranger things have happened in history. Maybe the Israeli leaders anticipated an attack but thought that it would be less striking, less sanguinary etc. Then Israel could strike at Gaza and maybe drive the population out entirely, later replacing that population by Jewish settlers.
Hard to say at this stage.

…and yet the whole System mass media, all the fake “celebrities”, all the “antifa” dimwits, pretty much all the Labour Party membership etc still think that South Africa is better than it was in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s. They still think that thick-as-two-short planks Nelson Mandela was both saintly and incredibly intelligent (in fact, he was a would-be terrorist leader who turned to African revolution at the age of 42, and after having failed his law degree several times, and the only reason he was not an active terrorist leader is because he was so inept at conspiracy, and was arrested before he could start a race war against South African whites).
Few people in the West are aware of the true facts, or that those behind Mandela and his botched race-war terror strategy were Jews, including at least one formerly involved in the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing.

The Jew/Zionist lobby in the UK and elsewhere is, on the whole, supportive of the actions of the Israeli state. Their cries of “nothing to do with us, guv!” ring very hollow.
Possibly interesting, but without detailed knowledge of the Israeli order of battle in the Gaza operation, meaningless. I have no such knowledge, so the intelligence noted is not useful to me.

Anything taken to an excess, to an absurd excess, is just out of concordance with the Universe and reality in the macro sense.
When I look at Elon Musk, or that odd little man Jeff Bezos, or Bill Gates, or (before he went up the chimney) Steve Jobs, or the myriad “Russian” (mostly Jew) “oligarchs”, my primary thought is “they have too much money“.
I do not mean that they have “too much money” relative to me (that is very easy!) or even in relation to most people, or most wealthy people (“wealthy” in a more ordinary sense); no, what I mean is that people on the Musk, Bezos, Gates level of wealth literally have too much money.
The ultra-wealthy have so much money that they do not know what to do with it, except get a team of people working on how to further increase the hoard of wealth that the ultra-wealthy have already.
In the end, all it becomes is a kind of Masque of the Red Death game or competition; whoever has the most beans, the highest figures on a computer screen, is the winner. A winner, someone who has won something and nothing. Ask Steve Jobs. Oh…you can’t…
Some of the ultra-wealthy are themselves casting around, trying to find something worthy to do with at least some of their vast wealth. Merely being rich is not enough, not when you are that rich. Several of such people (eg Musk) are in control of assets worth around USD $220 BILLION, i.e. two hundred and twenty thousand million! When you consider that a massive mega-yacht might cost USD $500 million or, at most (?), USD $1 billion (thus costing the buyer maybe less than half of one percent of his asset-value), you see both the problem and the consequent frustration.
As for smaller toys (houses, estates, cars etc) they are as nothing in comparison to the wealth some hold. Even hugely “overpriced” artworks the same.
Look at the competition among a handful of the ultra-wealthy to build their own rockets. An exercise in showing off toys, really, the aim being what? To send groups of tourists into orbit? How pointless.
To have “too much” wealth (without putting any particular figure on it) is like eating 100 pizzas a day, drinking 10 bottles of Chateau Margaux each day, or even drinking 10 gallons of water, and is dangerous for a person’s health; in the case of wealth, also dangerous for society.

The 34-year-old was on trial following a raid at his Pudsey home on Town Street in April 2021 in which police uncovered a catalogue of downloadable stickers which were “intended to stir up racial hatred” and encouraged racially-aggravated criminal damage. They also found a poster of Adolf Hitler on his wall and a book by the infamous British fascist, Oswald Mosley.“

There was a time in England, not so very long ago, when people had real freedom of expression. Even in the 1970s, when free speech had already been cut back, it still existed to an extent unthinkable in the England of 2024, in which the “woke” or “politically correct” rule almost supreme, and in which the malicious and fanatical Jew-Zionists “monitor” anything British people say or write, lest it might be —or can be be contrived to look— “grossly offensive” (to “them”).
The great British jury has also fallen by the wayside, and now almost inevitably finds anyone accused of “inciting racial hatred” guilty, no matter how flimsy the evidence. Rubber-stamp juries. I have no idea whether that was the case in respect of the Sam Melia trial. I know only what has been in the Press over the past day or two.
Not only that. Anyone found with such innocuous things as “racist” stickers may get, not even months but years of incarceration, in an England where real crime, even violent crime, is often scarcely punished by the courts.
Look at that Yorkshire Evening Post report. Things actually perfectly lawful (having a poster of Hitler on the wall at home, owning a book by a long-dead British politician) added to the mix in a “nudge-nudge, wink-wink” way…
I do not know Sam Melia, only of him, and only slightly even on that basis, but I very much regret that he has been found guilty. My thoughts are with him, and with his wife, the socio-political activist Laura Towler.

I asked Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov if western leaders were psyching us up for an all-out war against Russia.
He gave a very eloquent answer, showing the reality of what’s happening as contrary to Washington & London’s heated rhetoric.
Ukraine’s (Kiev regime’s) only hope in this war is to bring in NATO on the Kiev-regime side; to widen the conflict. Russia has not taken the bait so far, but the Zelensky regime keeps pushing, keeps prodding, in the hope of provoking a massive Russian response which might draw NATO into the war directly. If that were to happen though, it would be but a short step to a world war.
🚨Update: Russia demands Security Council meeting in response to Ukraine transport plane attack!
The IL-76 cargo jet was transporting 65 Ukrainian POWs when Kiev’s forces shot it down!
Russia requested an emergency session of the UN Security Council to discuss the shooting… pic.twitter.com/TZ9tkxzhQl

They say 'bring back National Service'. I say bring back secure well-paid jobs, final salary pensions, union rights, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition and student grants, affordable rail fares and social housing.
The ITN film of a Palestinian civilian shot dead under a white flag is horrific. Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak and now the US State Department have all point blank refused to condemn it. More and more people are realising that the political class are utterly subservient to Israel.
The guilty verdict for Sam Melia today really does mean that anyone pushing back against the agenda can have a case manufactured against them by the state.
The same state that wants you to go to war for them.
The toad set up an organisation called the 'Free Speech Union'.
Over the last year there have been a number of cases where people have been falsely imprisoned on clear free speech issues with state persecution such as the case of Sam Melia.… pic.twitter.com/Px4n1W4uc7
Tell me about it…I myself face a sentencing court next week, after my conviction for having published a few supposedly “grossly offensive” comments, cartoons etc on this blog.
Many people kid themselves that we live in a somehow “free” country, when what it really is, or has become, is an “iron fist in velvet glove” dictatorship. Well-disguised at times, yes, and somewhat shambolic too, which gives the appearance of laxity (and so “liberty”), at times, but still a repressive dictatorship under (((the usual))) influence; and it is getting worse almost daily.
For asking whether the host of 'Free Speech Nation' would cover the political persecution of Sam Melia, an archetypal free speech case: https://t.co/3CmuJWlsdD
Sam Melia has been convicted of producing stickers that the prosecution admitted contained no unlawful statements, meanwhile the "Free Speech Union" stays silent on the matter and concerns themselves with this nonsense instead. https://t.co/C7IjBzVcdG
The usual “controlled opposition” grifters, such as Toby Young, can be disregarded as a total waste of space.
While I've no time for #PA, this has to be said: Sam Melia is dragged through the courts and portrayed as a racist monster over stickers with messages such as "White Lives Matter", which graced a few hundred lampposts.

Meanwhile, Tommy Robinson is allowed to post blatant incitement and heavy-duty ‘Islamiphobia’ like this to a gigantic audience.
I have always believed that the Muslim #grooming gangs – and the native traitors who facilitated them – should be tried and, if convicted, executed. But to use their crimes to incite generic hatred of an entire community is nothing more or less than conditioning for war against Iran – a war for Israel, without a shred of legitimate British interest.
Make no mistake, this is the UK deep state giving an asset free rein to prod the herd to war.“
Griffin is, of course, correct.
All the same, we must be clear from where the poisonous repression is coming. Not from, at root, the police, MI5, the CPS, but from the “special-interest cabals” behind them…
“David Mundell says Scotland Office was not consulted about Mone’s 2015 appointment.
David Cameron breached “proper process” when he appointed Michelle Mone to the House of Lords in 2015, David Mundell, who was the secretary for Scotland at the time, has said.
Ms Mone is not a successful entrepreneur, she is a small-time businesswoman with a PR exposure far in excess of any actual success,” Anderson wrote. “Awarding her a peerage for a very mediocre business performance brings the awarding of titles into disrepute by rewarding failure.” [a well-informed Glasgow business leader wrote— to Cameron privately— at the time].
[The Guardian]
I blogged about Mone’s fakery at the time. Like so many in both the Commons and the Lords, she was always a fake.
“Forests with two or three tree species are on average 35% more resilient to storms than forests with only one species, simulations created by researchers found. The type of trees also matters – forestry plantations are typically made up of fast-growing tall trees such as conifers, but they are more vulnerable to high winds than slower-growing hardwood species such as oak.“
“Conservationists have praised the launch of a new government strategy to revive the remaining fragments of the vast temperate rainforests that were once “one of the jewels of Britain’s nature crown”.
Temperate rainforest, also known as Atlantic woodland or Celtic rainforest, once covered most of western Britain and Ireland. The archipelago’s wet, mild conditions are ideal for lichens, mosses and liverworts. But centuries of destruction have meant that only small, isolated pockets remain.“

Behave yourself Tice / the only agitators is our government Putin causes no risk to the UK https://t.co/zGGxAkKdQJ
Tice is hopeless. It is a measure of how unpopular the present misgovernment is, and how discontented are many of the voters, that Reform UK, even under Tice, even though it is not social-national, is apparently now on 13%, acc. to opinion polling.
Whether that will cut much ice at GE 2024 remains to be seen. We have, in a sense, been here before, with both UKIP and Brexit Party (both Farage vehicles, as is Reform UK). The difference, maybe, is in the degree of desperation felt by the voters.
When the voters feel real desperation, and in sufficient numbers, they may be ready, finally, to turn to real social-nationalism.
Richard Tice is no leader. We need someone with charisma a man of destiny no less.
“...the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not“…
Those latest polling figures are striking all the same. They might translate, at GE 2024, to a Labour majority of 420, with the “Conservatives” left as a rump of 35 MPs.
There are a legion of half-wits who are compelled to throw their money at anyone who utters anything remotely anti-Tory, and the grifters like Jolyon Maugham, Dr Julia, Simon Harris, Supertanskiii, Jack Monroe etc are more than happy to take their cash.
It is depressing, though, to observe how many of the said idiots are unwilling to see the truth even when it is presented, unambiguously and with irrefutable supporting evidence, to them… a bit like the people in the 1930s, 1940s, even up to the 1980s, who sincerely believed both in Marxism-Leninism and in the idea that the Soviet Union was a wonderful society, maybe with a few flaws here and there. I must have met hundreds like that.
Gaza (and the Jew-Zionist quasi-genocidal devastation there) is a very important issue but, as an acerbic Dutch lady once told me, about 42 years ago, “the shirt is closer than the skirt” (apparently an old Dutch proverb akin to “blood is thicker than water”). First things first. This country is now in a truly terrible mess. Our own people have needs that are not being addressed, still less satisfied. No wonder so many people say that they are “politically homeless”, and are unwilling to vote for any System party.
So it seems that the winds are set fair for a second Trump presidential term.
