I have noted previously on the blog the Jew-Zionist ownership of LBC radio (the Jewish aspect is not expressly noted by Byline Times). I do not think that it is a co-incidence that the propaganda of the malicious cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA” is mostly now broadcast by LBC, Murdoch-owned “no-one watches” Talk TV and —less so after “CAA” creature Gideon Falter was caught out lying about a contrived incident recently— Murdoch-owned Sky News.

"The day a Labour government is elected will be the day that Britain sends a big, loud message to all the people-smugglers and would-be illegal migrants around the world that Britain is now open for business"https://t.co/fOK2W2rShz
Well, all right, but what part of “a million non-white invaders are entering the UK every year under a supposedly Conservative government” has Matt Goodwin missed?
Is Goodwin saying that even more invaders may enter the UK under the next Labour Party government? I do not dispute that that is possible, but once you get to where we now are, the difference is slight. We are, as a decent European society, going down, fast. Labour misgovernment after 2024 may accelerate the process, but not hugely, to be honest.
The number one aim in 2024 has to be to crush the Conservative Party, even at the expense of a Labour Party “elected” dictatorship under Israel puppet Keir Starmer. That will unbalance the rigged “two main parties” System, and make it easier for a real social-national movement to emerge.

“Swiss intelligence:
Lloyd Austin was unable to tell the Senate what would be considered a victory for Ukraine.
JACQUES BO WARNED: TACTICS WITHOUT STRATEGY ARE JUST VANITY – BEFORE DEFEAT FORMER.
Swiss intelligence officer Jacques Beau has announced that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was unable to answer what “victory over Russia” in Ukraine should look like. He stated that Austin was asked at a meeting of the NATO Armed Forces Committee to define what would be considered a victory in Ukraine. And that he had no answer or deliberately avoided answering.
On this occasion, Bo pointed out and warned: “If the West does not know what it is fighting for in Eastern Europe, then it will not be able to fight any longer and gain an advantage.” In his opinion, tactics without strategy are just futility in the face of defeat.“
Quite. As pointed out on this blog for the past couple of years.

Israel has now dropped 65,000 tons of explosives on Gaza’s civilian population in 89 days—over one and a half times more than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs combined.
Whether or not what the Israeli Jews have done in Gaza over the past 7 months can be, legalistically, labelled as “genocide” (and there are legions of Jewish lawyers in the UK and elsewhere weaselling to try to convince people to the contrary), the Israeli war crimes surely speak for themselves; just look at the damage.
The same with the numbers of women and children killed. So if the number stands at, say, 10,000, or 20,000 rather than 30,000, is that OK? Is it only “genocide” if the number is [notional hundreds of thousands, or millions], or if the victims are Jewish?

2024 could be the year when the stalemate on all fronts is broken, and when Russian forces can make a massive general advance north and west, across all of Eastern Ukraine.
Apart from his highly incentivised devotion to Israel, does David Lammy have any other qualification whatsoever to be probably the UK's next foreign secretary?
Hard, in a sense, to see what that snake-oil salesman would add to Reform UK’s limited popular appeal, especially after his recent frenzied pro-Israel soundbites, but then I am not a typical voter. Parties need leaders, either that or at least figureheads.
If Farage takes up the reins of Reform UK, and if that boosts its vote-share from last week’s 18% to 26%, and if the extra 8 points come equally out of the Con and Lab vote-share, leaving Cons on 14%, Labour on 44%, LibDems on 9% and Greens on 7%, the result might be Labour with 490 Commons seats, Reform UK with 57, LibDem 55, Con 6, and Greens 2. [calculation via Electoral Calculus https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html].
Is that possible? The uncertainty alone speaks volumes. It seems impossible… and yet…
That would put Reform UK into Parliament as second-largest party, and official Opposition. As for the Conservative Party, 6 MPs and a very very poor fourth place; for them, it would probably mean the end of the road.
If Sunak, the little Indian money-juggler, were to lose his seat, he would not even have to find a reason to relocate, with his immensely rich wife, to California. If so, good riddance.
Even were Labour to ebb to 40%, and the Cons to recover to 18% (where one opinion poll had them last week), that would still leave the Cons with a mere 35 MPs (Lab 435, LibDems 58, Greens 2, but Reform UK with 79 MPs!
A party has to get well beyond 20% to get any seats at all under the UK’s FPTP voting system, but if it can get 25%+, it may hit the jackpot.
We shall have to wait and see, but the situation looks dire for the treacherous and incompetent Con Party, and I doubt whether the latest pseudo-1940 “fight on the beaches” appeal, featuring the Indian money-juggler and the Jew Shapps (he of the 5 fake identities and the Israeli Bnai Brith membership) will do anything, except confirm that the voters will vote “ABC” (“Anywhere But Conservative”).
Talking point
I happened to be out early in the car this morning, and tuned in to the Radio 4 Today Programme for a few minutes. I caught most (I think) of an interview with a retired general, only a year older than me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Shirreff.
The general seemed to want, or want to risk, a war with Russia, and seemed totally signed-up to support for “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime). He wants “the Ukrainians” (Kiev regime) to be given more and more-powerful weapons, so that they can attack Russia, and far deeper inside Russia.
“That’s what you do in war, attack the enemy“, proclaimed the desk warrior (his only active “war” command a few months in the Gulf in 1991, as a major, and aged 36).
When the interviewer hesitantly wondered whether that might lead to all-out war between NATO and the Russian Federation, he seemed sanguine about that awful possibility.
The general also seemed to miss the point that, while the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev may be at war with the Russian Federation, we in the UK are not…; not yet, anyway, no thanks to people like him.
Britain has not been well-served by its chocolate soldiers of recent times, and it seems to me that their very limited-in-scope yet gung-ho pseudo-macho posturing might yet lead this country into becoming the target of Russia’s vast nuclear arsenal.

"If a social democratic, high-trust country like Denmark can publish data on migrant crime rates, then why can't Britain?" – Guy Dampier https://t.co/6v9cNQgktw
When I started at the (English) Bar in 1993 (I had been Called to the Bar a couple of years before that but was living in the USA), I did some criminal cases, mostly in the magistrates’ courts in London, and also some Crown Court trials. Most of the defendants were non-white. To some extent, that reflected the rather rackety chambers I was in, but not only that; most serious criminal defendants in London were non-white, mostly West Indian. That must be even more so in 2024, over 30 years later. That, despite the fact that, in 1993/1994, the proportion of non-whites in London was probably only about 10% to 20% (it’s 46% in 2024).
As for relatively recent migrants, say those who have “arrived” in the past two decades, it is hardly surprising that they commit a huge amount of crime: most are young or youngish men, few even speak English beyond a “pidgin” level, few have any marketable skills, and few have any money (though they must have had some previously in order to have been able to buy their passage from the people-smugglers).

“Russia only needed one crack in Ukraine’s defenses to increase its vulnerability – The New York Times.
Recent Russian offensives in eastern and northeastern Ukraine are beginning to “dangerously” change the geometry of the front for Kyiv. The “sudden” breakthrough of Russian troops in Ocheretino illustrated how even a small crack in the defense line can cause a cascading effect, threatening already stretched platoons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with encirclement from the flanks, writes The New York Times.
The publication spoke with Ukrainian soldiers and commanders on the front line. They acknowledged that they were in a more vulnerable position than at any time since the “first harrowing weeks” of the conflict.
Moscow is trying to use the window of opportunity that has opened. Its army is increasing pressure in the Donbass and is seeking to open a new front by attacking Ukrainian positions along the northern border near Kharkov.
According to the publication, months of delays in American assistance, a growing number of casualties and an acute shortage of ammunition led to dire consequences for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This is evidenced by the exhausted faces and tired voices of Ukrainian soldiers.
“To be honest, I’m scared,” the commander of a Ukrainian tank battalion told The New York Times. “Because if I don’t have shells, people, equipment with which my people can fight… then this is the end.”

For once, Sunak, the little Indian money-juggler, is telling the literal truth. Britain is a train about to hit the buffers at high speed. How much longer can a country absorb a million unwanted and mostly useless (at best) immigrants every single year? Forget the brainless Rwanda “plan”— that will only affect, at most, 1% of immigrants (about 10,000 a year), even if not cancelled by Starmer-Labour.
The big picture is that Britain has been condemned to decline by its own secret cabals and ruling circles. This did not start today, or yesterday, or last year; it has been in train for decades, and certainly since 1989. Those secret ruling circles are running down Europe, including the UK, and trying to build up China and the other Pacific Rim countries, and North America.
In their (Coudenhove-Kalergi) plan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan, Europe is set to decline, and to become mixed-race (white/black/brown), and ruled mainly by Jewish or (quite often) part-Jewish (and always pro-Israel) persons— examples include Rothschilds, “Boris” Johnson, Theresa May, David Cameron-Levita, Gideon “George” Osborne, Zac Goldsmith etc, to give a few examples only).
The public of the UK has been and is being conditioned to accept gradually declining standards in all areas, from legislative probity to administrative efficiency to road repair, to educational levels, to public order and policing. Pay. Living standards. State benefits. Pensions. All areas.
Also, being conditioned to accept absurd and arbitrary “policies”, “laws”, regulations” etc, as tried out during the Covid “panicdemic”/”scamdemic: stupid “rules” such as “social distancing”, “the Rule of Six”, the “stay at home” mandates and “lockdown” mandates; the fake and harmful “vaccines”. Etc.

Bonkers that the leader of a government that has imported literally millions of foreign citizens in a couple of years is pretending that our primary threats come from far away. Project Fear is the last refuge of the charlatan.
Time is running out for Sunak. People may not like or even trust Starmer and Labour, but Sunak and the misnamed “Conservatives” have used up all their credit with the public. To change metaphors, this government or, better, misgovernment is running on empty.
Here we are in mid-May 2024, and the latest a general election can be held is in January 2015, meaning that it has to be called by some date in December 2024, so 7 months at most.
Sunak is, at this point, not trying to “win” the next general election, just trying to mitigate the damage. If he is left with even, say, 150 MPs, rather than 100, or 50, or 30, he will be satisfied. The most recent polls have indicated a Conservative Party cadre in the Commons of as few as 13, incredibly.
The ruling cabals behind both main System parties are, for that reason, not too concerned which of those two parties, or facades, “wins” the 2024, or any other, General Election, because those hidden puppetmasters will ensure that the basic direction of travel stays the same in either case.
Look at how both Sunak and Starmer both fell over themselves to support Israel’s Gaza slaughter, in Starmer’s case even saying that it was OK for the Israeli Jews to cut off water and food to the Gazan civilians, most of whom were and are women and children.

Water under the bridge now, of course, but if only Russia had decapitated the Kiev regime at the start, in 2022, eliminated Zelensky and his immediate cabal, and taken Kiev by a mass parachute assault using the VDV and Spetsnaz forces available, followed by a push through using armour and infantry. That would have finished the regime in Kiev within days, and prevented the attritional war we have seen since, with its huge loss of life, misery for both humans and animals, and widespread devastation.

“Freeman: As soon as the Ukrainians swing even more strongly on the fronts – a new government may appear in Kyiv.
FORMER AMERICAN DIPLOMAT CONVINCED THAT THE UKRAINIAN ARMY WILL NOT SURVIVE UNTIL NOVEMBER WHEN the Ukrainians are even stronger, definitely swaying on the fronts, a new government could appear in Kyiv, ready to accept the true state of affairs in the conflict with Russia, former American diplomat Ches Freeman said. And immediately additionally concluded: “Mr. Zelensky may become a victim of his own intransigence, and a new government may emerge in Kyiv that will be more willing to acknowledge the true state of affairs instead of denying it.”
Freeman noted that many in Ukraine are aware of the need for negotiations, but the head of the Kyiv regime has banned them from taking place. In his opinion, this should be abandoned. He also added that the Ukrainian armed forces probably won’t last even until November.”
The reality is that Russia should take all Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and the coastal areas of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. A viable independent Ukraine can then come into being in the rest of the country, and centred on Lvov. Kiev and its immediate hinterland can become some kind of autonomous city, rather as Danzig (now Gdansk) was in the period 1920-1939.

This Is Not 1997. There is no mass public enthusiasm for Keir Starmer's Labour Partyhttps://t.co/SpatdyMnN4
As a matter of fact, even 1997 was not 1997 (as normally and wrongly thought to be, i.e. a popular landslide): in 1997, Blair Labour, thanks to FPTP voting, ended up with about 65% of Commons seats, but its popular vote was only 43.2% (Conservatives 30.7%; LibDems 16.8%; others 9.4%). Far more people, even of those who voted, did not want Labour as compared to those that did.
It is truer to say that, while those that did vote Labour in 1997 were enthusiastic about it, those who now tell pollsters that they intend to vote Starmer-Labour at GE 2024 (about the same percentage, circa 42%-48%) are almost all not enthusiastic about it, but just want rid of the present “Conservative” misgovernment, as do almost all other intending voters (present polling gives Sunak’s party a mere 18%).
I myself was not living the UK in 1997 (I was in Kazakhstan, only returning to the UK in late September 1997, though I had been back in the UK for about 2 weeks during February-March 1997), and so missed the UK election campaign and the election itself.

“Russia chose the most inopportune moment for Kyiv for its offensive in the Kharkov region Russia, by opening another front in the Kharkov region, is creating additional pressure on the forces of Kyiv, which are currently already suffering from a shortage of weapons and people, Sky News reports.
Moscow decided to act, choosing the most inopportune moment for Kyiv for its offensive. Russian troops are already gradually advancing in the Donbass, approaching the city of Chasov Yar. If this Ukrainian stronghold falls, it will give Russian troops the opportunity to more easily strike the rest of the Donbass, putting key cities such as Kramatorsk at risk.
By intensifying attacks in the Kharkov direction, Russia can force the Ukrainian command to transfer reserves from the east to the northeast, thereby weakening its defensive line in the Donbass, which is already under enormous strain.
The situation is further aggravated by delays in the supply of additional weapons and ammunition from Western allies.“
The Kiev regime has no “Western allies“, just aid-givers, bribe-givers, bribe-takers, and warmongers.

If Kharkov itself can be taken this year, the war will be close to ending. The whole of Ukraine east of the Dnieper will, in that contingency, be taken by Russian forces pushing from north, east, and south.

“Russian attacks open a new front in Ukraine”:
Austria is confident that Ukraine will lose most of its army if it decides to hold the region instead of surrendering the Kharkov region.
“Retired Austrian Colonel Mick Ryan believes the coming weeks will be very grim for Ukrainian ground forces in the east. Attempts to hold the area will result in the loss of most of the army. The result could be a serious test and “one of the most difficult moments for Ukraine in the war.
The offensive of the Russian army in the Kharkov direction has become the largest. This could undermine the morale of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, Ukraine must be careful in its response given its depleted military. Deliveries of the long-delayed American aid package are just beginning to reach the front lines.”
Difficult questions this week. I scored 4/10, but even that very modest score was enough to trump that of political journalist John Rentoul, who managed only 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 5, 6, and 7. I came close (in my opinion, anyway) to getting no. 2 as well.
Talking point
Interesting. Well worth an hour of anyone’s time.
I liked the comment from a 90-something ex-soldier who said that, looking at Britain in the 21stC, he wishes that Hitler had successfully invaded in 1940 (in fact, there never was a serious plan to invade the UK: Hitler wanted alliance with the British Empire, not to conquer it. “Operation Sealion” [Fall Seelowe] was never more than a contingency plan and/or a smokescreen with which to lull Stalin into a false sense of security prior to Barbarossa).
I also liked the several comments by old soldiers now wishing that they had fought for Hitler.

Housing Sec Michael Gove says he cannot look at official figures showing sharp rise in number of homeless children – a record 145,800 – with "anything other than regret" and blames not enough homes being built. But it is poverty that causes homelessness. And govt can solve that.
Typical msm scribbler thinks that “govt” can “solve poverty”. That depends on various other factors. In the case of the UK, you have importation of around a million unwanted immigrants every single year now, a fact which scribbler Paul Lewis ignores. Simply ignores. As if to say “million immigrants a year? Irrelevant. Just build more houses for them” (for these mostly useless parasites). Oh, and give them cash, and medical services, and schools for their offspring (etc).
4 million? Try 12…(and, by 2034, 25M, or more).
I doubt whether scribbler (posing as an economist) Paul Lewis has much real expertise in the economics of a state or a society (about your electricity or gas bill, maybe; I do not know).

When Mr Mendelsohn gave evidence at trial, it became clear he was unaware of some of the conduct of, or positions adopted by, his solicitor Daniel Berke.
He honestly thought Berke had complied with the pre-action protocol. In reality, there was almost no compliance!…
As said, both dishonest and incompetent, in the case of Lewis. As to Daniel Berke, I have no idea of how competent or incompetent he is in the civil law field (I read that he is a criminal solicitor), but on the face of the above, he seems as incompetent as Lewis.

As I opined some time ago, there seems to have been professional negligence on the part of Lewis, and that may now apply to Berke as well.
Incidentally, Berke also opines about “antisemitism” being connected to “mental illness”:
Seems that Berke’s knowledge of both “antisemitism” and mental illness is as sketchy as his knowledge of civil procedure seems to be. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/ [updated consistently], in which I examined the incontrovertible links between Jew-Zionism, Jewish “antifascism”, and mental illness.

Yet anywhere hosting anti-Zionists, whether political (London Forum, Patriotic Alternative, Keep Talking etc), entertainers (Alison Chabloz, Gilad Atzmon), metaphysical speakers (eg David Icke) or whatever, will be “hounded” by packs of Jews such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], “Hope not Hate” (“HnH”] and others.
When will the Daily Mail (etc) cover that story? Never…
Fair enough, but Neil is completely at one with Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby, and the Jewish element has been the driving force behind the attack on freedom of expression throughout the Western world: so-called “race relations” and “anti-hate” laws (designed to shut down socio-political debate), “holocaust” “denial” laws (designed to make aspects of modern history off-limits to both non-Jewish historians and members of the public) etc.

Sunak’s government of clowns really is running on empty.
In 2022 Natalie Elphicke used a debate on P&O sacking 800 workers & replacing them with cheaper foreign workers as an opportunity to attack trade unions.
Natalie Elphicke pretended to stay loyal to her foolish husband while he was on trial for pathetic minor sex crimes, divorced him after he was convicted and imprisoned, and arranged to replace him as Conservative Party MP for Dover. Now, realizing that the game is up, she defects to Labour! About as trustworthy as any triple agent…
Mick Lynch last year: "If you're coming to the electorate with a message of change, you've got to show that there will be real change. And that's what the country is crying out for"
Having said that, Natalie Elphicke is unarguably right about Sunak’s bad joke government. The very roads are like something out of the Ukraine now— potholed, rutted, unrepaired or, at best, poorly-patched.
I started to comment on the blog years ago about how, not overnight but over 10-15 or more years (even pre-dating “Conservative” governments post-2010) “nothing works in Britain these days”. The newspapers started to say the same a couple of years ago. Now, hardly anyone would argue about it.
It will be interesting to see whether Natalie Elphicke, if not adopted as Labour candidate for the Dover constituency, stands as Independent. It might be tight between Con and Lab anyway, but with Reform UK in the mix (and very likely to do well), and Natalie Elphicke potentially standing as Independent, it could be a very close contest indeed. She might even win.
Come to think of it, Natalie Elphicke might have done better to have defected to Reform UK, which would probably have made her its Dover candidate, and with a reasonable shot at winning in a three-way split.

[Kensington Roof Gardens, London, which date back to the 1930s]
London has large areas of unused roof space which could be turned into green space; not necessarily all open to the public, but still a haven for birds and a recreational resource for individual people, families, employee groups etc.
I had such ideas back in the mid/late 1970s, when I happened to see some of the views from the roof areas of tall buildings: a couple of the then-tall buildings of the City of London (now dwarfed by the new high buildings, of course), the British Gas building at Marble Arch etc; both during the daytime and at night.
Since those times, others with similar ideas but more resources have actually been able to make a few projects a reality. There remains huge scope.

The 34-year-old thug arrived in the UK around 2017 and quickly became involved in serious crimes including drugs, robbery and assault.
But in spite of his appalling criminal record, he was granted leave to remain in the country two months ago.“
[Daily Mail]
The “Readers’ Comments” appended to that Daily Mail report show the level of public anger around such issues: look at this one—
(“Moons12345Northwest, United Kingdom 4 hours ago. Super , which of the barge protesters the other day will take him home, feed and house him for the next couple of years ? Please step forward you all seem very keen to support this type of person ? Any takers – no didn’t think so !“)
I doubt that such as Zoe Gardner (“@ZoeJardiniere” on Twitter/X) will be volunteering, despite having made a career out of supporting the migration-invasion of the UK. https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoe-gardner-8545b479/.
People of that sort sit, usually in leafy affluent areas, promoting the migration-invasion of Europe, including the UK, while “outsourcing” the consequent misery of the collapsing “multicultural” dystopia to others— the poorer people of this country.
At present, somewhere between three-quarters of a million and over a million immigrants are arriving in the UK each year. The vast majority, almost all, remain, though a couple of hundred of thousand people (but mostly real British people) are leaving each year, mostly to go to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Spain. The foreign influx in terms of population change is about 1M-1.5M. Every single year.
Few of those (maybe 5%, if that) are arriving in “small boats” (actually, ferried from just off the coast of France by the RNLI, Coastguard, Border Force, and Royal Navy, all of which organizational names are now a self-parody).
The flood of “dependent relatives”, “spouses”, “fiances/fiancees”, “students”, “asylum-seekers” and “highly skilled workers” (Indians who can work a computer) continues apace. About 3,000, every single day.
One of the worst aspects of both central and local government in the UK is the apparent inability of both politicians and officials to think things through. If we do this, what happens to that and that and that down the line?
Forget the Rwanda Plan, which is an object lesson in present-day UK governmental futility. Only applies to a few percent of immigrants anyway, and will only ever be able to deport a few hundred a week at best (and at huge cost per deportee and in toto), while thousands each week are arriving on the cross-Channel route alone.
Incidentally, about 80% of “asylum-seekers” are allowed to remain anyway, once “processed”.
The pathetic Rwanda “plan” is in any case going to be scrapped by the expected Labour Party “elected” dictatorship, which will be the Government of the UK by early next year at latest.
So we are living in a country where the population is changing fast, and not for the better.
By 2034, another 10M or more, maybe another 15M+ will have arrived. Most will be effectively unskilled, most will be more or less parasitic, quite a substantial minority will be hostile or criminal, many will not even speak, read, or write basic English, and the UK has nowhere even to warehouse these masses of unwanted invaders.
Meanwhile, the British people are becoming poorer, suffering ever-lower living standards, are unable, most of them, to buy or even rent suitable accommodation, and are sharing their ever-poorer, ever-less pleasant cities and towns with a multiracial, multicultural, polyglot mixture of peoples, mostly from the most backward countries of the world.
“World thinktank Globsec reckons a “sudden drop” in aid packages to Ukraine from the West could be the trigger for a Russian victory. The organisation says it would leave an “actual nuclear threat” in Russia’s hands after its withdrawal from nuclear deterrence treaties. Those nuclear threats may continue to grow as the aftershock of Ukraine’s war loss spreads rapidly through Europe.“

The propaganda against Russia continues, with the now-usual claims that Russia wants to invade Western Europe etc. Oh, and the also-now-usual fake “parallels” with the 1930s and Germany’s expansionist policy then.
I wonder what cabals are behind this incessant push for war?
NWO. ZOG.
That Mirror report, though, does admit that we are on the brink of Russian victory in Ukraine. As this blog has said for over 2 years now, Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

LONDON FALLING? Sadiq Khan is there to be beaten today. Soaring crime, hated ULEZ taxes, gridlock thanks to cycle lanes/LTNs & 20mph zones, obsession with "diversity"
Life is measurably worse for millions of Londoners under Khan
Can it be possible that Sadiq Khan will not be re-elected, after the sainted opinion polls had him, only last week, on twice the expected vote of Susan Hall? Interesting. The result is expected some time today.
The personal attacks and snobbery Susan Hall received from the political class (including her own party) has been absolutely disgusting. The same people preaching about 'diversity' doing everything they can to put people who aren't like them off politics. #LondonMayorElections
I have not taken much interest in the contest. Susan Hall did not seem a very impressive candidate to me, but then look at Shaun Bailey, the West Indian Con Party “activist” and fake charity “grifter”, who was almost a joke candidate last time, yet very nearly won: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_London_mayoral_election.
Indeed, look at Sadiq Khan himself. Plainly not up to the job.
Whatever your feelings about it, the Britain of our childhood is just a memory, never to return, thanks to uncontrolled and unfettered immigration. Immigration which the public have never been asked if they want, and which increases every year against the majority will.
I certainly do not endorse all of the political positions of Laurence Fox, but how can the accuracy of his view above be denied?
We often see such slogans or expostulations as “England has fallen!” or “London has fallen!“, and may sometimes think that to say so is going “too far” but, really, now, I see it as being pretty close to the truth.
Lockdowns were unquestionably the stupidest Government intervention of our lifetimes, and all for nothing. Anyone who still claims they were 'worth it' is in denial, says Luke Johnson. https://t.co/fLQz2quQ2z
“You read it here first” (quite possibly). I was saying all that years ago.

Sir John Curtice: “The idea that the Tory Party can advance their causes by saying ‘We’re terribly sorry, we know we gave you 3 PMs- none of who were any good – but we now want you to give us another 5 years with a fourth untrusted leader’ will be an impossible sell”#Newsnightpic.twitter.com/7sdjddgCea
Hard to think of any type of person seriously deciding to vote Con at GE 2024, any type of person except some totally unaware and comfortably-off “senior citizen”, probably at least 80 years old, whose ideas about politics and the world come from such a source as the Daily Express.
I despise and distrust present-day Labour, especially under Starmer and his fellow Israel-puppets, but I feel that the necessity now is to stamp on the Conservative Party so hard that it pretty much ceases to exist.
Labour, as likely “elected” (by default) dictatorship, is a looming danger, but will have to be faced. There might even be some kind of race/culture/socio-economic civil war down the line. Not now, though; later.
Kill off one major System party and it will weaken the System as a whole, because that structure relies on a ping-pong between two large parties effectively under similar control but presenting dissimilar facades to the public.
Sadiq Khan confronted over people "running around with machetes" on the streets of London earlier this week:
“I think the Tory candidate should stop watching The Wire."
At least the Conservative Party candidate, Susan Hall, seems to live in some version of the real world, whereas Sadiq Khan is evidently living in some anachronistic “New Labour” bubble of total unreality.
I have not lived or worked in the London area for over 20 years, and have not lived in near-Central London for about 26 years, but just take a look at the Evening Standard, or My London. Almost every day there is a machete attack, or a sword rampage (as yesterday), either by (and usually) black/brown drug gangs or similar hooligans, or (as seems to have been the case yesterday) by some home-grown lunatic. As for less sensational everyday stabbings (often homicides), there are several every single day.
The fact is that London is no longer even a zoo, but more like a wild and uncontrolled jungle.
Sadiq Khan seems to be the only possible victor. The latest YouGov poll has Khan on 47%, with Susan Hall on 25%. I suppose that that accounts for his arrogant refusal to engage on that TV show. He probably only attended as a pseudo-democratic fig-leaf.
Admittedly, Susan Hall seems to be a fairly poor candidate, but Khan has proven that he cannot do the job. Despite that, he will undoubtedly get “elected” again. “Democracy”…
It’s having a devastating effect on the educational outcomes of a big and growing group of working class kids. They’re almost forgotten, because they’re not on the streets. But their living conditions are Victorian, often sharing one room with their parents, siblings, shared…
We came across the story of one promising kid in Southwark who was about to sit his GCSEs. He’d been in temporary accomm for some time. A council house was found for him in Romford. He had to move straight away. Consequently he couldn’t sit his exams.
Yes, but all that, including the housing crisis, is downstream of the mass immigration or migration invasion crisis, without which there would be no “housing crisis” (etc).
The “refugees welcome” dimwits, the pro-immigration idiots etc, always say that the “solution” is to “build more houses” on whatever is left of our green and pleasant land. Really? When about a million immigrants of every type are entering the UK every year? When, on the basis of present law, literally hundreds of millions might have a “legal right” to claim asylum here?
Most of Britain’s socio-economic problems either stem from mass immigration, or have a very strong element relating to the enormous influx of mostly non-Europeans to our shores.

LBC, as blogged previously, is owned (via a network of UK and offshore companies) by a Jew; indeed, by a very pro-Israel Jew. I note that most of the significant personnel, including presenters, are now Jewish; the few who are not (Iain Dale, Nick Ferrari) are mostly and generally pro-Israel.

Yes…in the USA you may have, in theory, Constitutionally-“guaranteed” “free speech”, but the theory fails when the facts intrude, i.e. Jewish-Zionist employers sacking people for their social or political views, or Israel-connected organizations making malicious complaints to employers, professional regulators etc.

The stunt that went wrong. The evolving then dissolving story of Gideon Falter's brush with the law.https://t.co/sYpqvm24Tf
LBC is owned by a Jew who inherited (or was given) huge wealth; see previous blog posts. It is not just a question of ownership. For some years until fairly recently, the political editor of LBC was a Jew who always parrotted “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] rubbish on Twitter, including a few mentions of me.
Trying to understand Zionists like Gideon Falter & others on social media, their central issue is control, if they can’t control things they feel fear & will act out.
As is evident from these & many other similar celebratory tweets, Gideon Falter's spectacular cowardice is emboldening the antisemites & amplifying @antisemitism throughout the UK. What a loser! #OustGideonFalter the betrayer of our Jewish community!!! 🕎🇬🇧🇮🇱✡️ pic.twitter.com/SA87139pwC

The only reason I did not take up UCL’s offer to join their 1984-1987 law degree course as a belated student was because I noticed on a visit that the existing course was packed with Jewish students. Not my kind of milieu…
It is not (yet) mandatory in the UK to profess —or pretend, as many do— to like “them” as a group.
When I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016, one of the 5 tweets that sank me was that describing Gove (accurately) as an expenses cheat and puppet of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby. I was unaware, in and prior to 2016, that Gove was —and is— a cocaine abuser, a user of other drugs and, not infrequently, a shambling drunk. Even his Jewish (I believe) wife dumped him not so long ago, for reasons not yet made public.

I think the Israeli Embassy needs to have an emergency legal team on standby and all Israelis detained by the UK regime should have an emergency number to call.
Israelis should not be telling UK authorities (which are probably infiltrated by Islamic terrorist sympathizers)… https://t.co/Nnrfz2TSTu
Several interesting things there. Firstly, it seems that the UK authorities are at long last waking up to the fact that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of “British” Jews every year go to Israel for what amounts to a form of paramilitary training— training in the use of pistols, submachineguns and long weapons (rifles etc) and even, perhaps, in some cases, explosives. They then return to the UK. How many are sleeper agents run by MOSSAD, Aman (Israeli military intelligence) or other Jewish/Israeli secret and conspiratorial structures?
What genuine “Israeli student” flies into East Midlands Airport anyway? Was it a dual passport holder?
Second, note how tweeter “Brian of London”, whose name suggests, superficially, that he identifies as “British”, in fact quite openly identifies with Israel and not the UK, referring to this country as the “UK regime“. A termite who was burrowing away from within, but now seems to be in Tel Aviv.
There is more. Despite only being a half-Jew (his father apparently not having been a Jew), he was himself at one time booked on an Israeli programme which takes young Jews (and part-Jews, it seems) to Israel, and trains them in military skills:
“Unlike almost all of his classmates, Jake opted to do A-levels, which he undertook at the less religious Hasmonean High School. But he decided that his future lay in Israel on the Hesder programme, which combines yeshivah with IDF service. When his mother suggested that he toughen up before joining the army, he began training at a local martial arts gym.“
“He cancelled his plans to go to Israel and went travelling for two years in south-east Asia instead, studying Chinese in Taiwan and abandoning any sense of his Jewish heritage, let alone observance.”
[Jewish Chronicle]
Are we missing something in that story?
Britain is right to defend itself against hostile Islamism, but that is only half, if even that, of the story. There are, also, other enemies of the British people.
Incidentally, the “Brian of London” Twitter/X account often retweets “Tommy Robinson” stuff, as here below:
Why is Gaza a non stop national story in the UK and this is buried in local news or unreported? https://t.co/2TFljPtbK5

In fact, leaving the obvious anti-Islamist Jewish/Israeli propaganda aside, there is more than a kernel of truth in that clip.
Taking just the UK, over a million unwanted immigrants and/or “invaders” every year and, at the same time, about 200,000 mostly real British people leaving for Australia, New Zealand etc (the younger emigrants) or France, Spain etc (the older people, including retirees).
The whole nature of the UK population is changing, and very definitely not for the better.
Soon the voters will be dumping the Conservative Friends of Israel misgovernment for a Labour Friends of Israel “elected” dictatorship— Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall etc.
The civil service, police etc are still, as one mandarin put it in the 1960s, engaged in “the management of decline“, but the slow decline and mixed picture of the 1960s has now moved on to a steeper slope of gradual but much faster collapse of society.
Even now, the public is not being told the truth, in case they turn to some form of social nationalism.
One sees, not least on Twitter/X, the “useful idiots”, the “refugees welcome” dimwits, those who think that you can import a million immigrants a year (mostly unskilled, many parasitic, quite a number criminal or actually terroristic) without any negative effects on society.
Those “useful idiots” think that the only reason that housing is unavailable or unaffordable, that trains are crowded, that the very roads are literally falling to pieces, that the courts and prisons are swamped, and that pay and working-age State benefits are worth less almost daily, is “government policy”, and that ditching the “Tories” —and I have no quarrel with that, as such— will usher in a kind of pseudo-Labour paradise, or at least something better. Think again.
Look ahead a little. Where will the UK be in, say, 2034, when the population has increased by another ~15 million via immigration and births to recent immigrants?
There are other problems, other factors, but mass immigration (not only the 10% or 5% arriving via the cross-Channel migration-invasion) is key.
There is only one hope— that the real people of Britain turn to intelligent real social nationalism. I do not mean turn to the “beer bottle throwers” of the controlled opposition. I mean real social nationalism. It happened before; it can happen again.
Dan Poulter MP
Top Tory MP who nobody’s heard of outside Westminster and can’t even get a junior ministerial job in THIS government jumps ship to a promised job in a Labour govt and a chance of remaining as MP…..
Poulter himself was first elected in 2010, and has never received less than 50% of the vote; his vote-share in 2019 was no less than 62.7%. He has obviously resigned as a protest designed to damage the Sunak misgovernment as much as possible, with the local elections coming up, followed by a general election sometime this year.
Despite the huge number of Americans who love animals, there is a certain stratum composed of others who are absolutely horrible. For example, the “declawing” of cats, which is against the law in decent countries, is not unusual in the USA (because some cat “owners” value their vulgar furniture more than the welfare of their companion animals).
So, after having killed her puppy, she somehow “got the bit between her teeth” and decided that she wanted to kill her goat as well. She sounds dangerous.
The thing that makes Kristi Noem's puppy-killing story additionally horrendous is that she described the dog as "having the time of her life" and "out of her mind with excitement" and "a picture of pure joy" — right before Noem shot her in the head. The height of cruelty.
These are my rescue dogs, Duke and Winnie. They are now farm dogs. If I let them, they would kill every chicken in the county. We have a boundary fence and common sense.

“Everybody is permitted to express their views in a free and democratic society, but not to the extent that others are upset, distressed and/or harassed.”
Freedom of expression, free speech, are both dead; those connected (former) rights have been all but killed off in the UK. What I fail to see is how Fox cannot see which element has (((mainly))) killed them off…
I may as well say a few words about Fox and his recent civil trial in libel.
For Fox as politician of sorts, or his tiny Reclaim Party, I have little time. A political bad joke, and pro-Israel to boot. Not a serious party, despite Reclaim apparently having 100,000 registered supporters.
The liability judgment goes into some detail in respect of the facts and the relevant and applicable law, and is worth reading (though not everyone will want to read all 41 pages).
In the Katie Hopkins case, Ms. Hopkins had expressed a purported (but inaccurate) fact about “Jack Monroe” (the online “grifter” known as the “Bootstrap Cook”) having vandalized a war memorial (which she had not done). Plainly libellous, and also untrue. A war memorial had been vandalized, but not by “Jack Monroe”, who was not even present. Ms. Hopkins should have backed down, settled at an early stage, and thus not had to take to trial a hopeless case; the failure of the defence eventually resulted in Ms. Hopkins having to sell her house, mainly to cover the legal costs of the Claimant, “Jack Monroe”.
Ms. Hopkins had been too proud and, frankly, too foolish to settle early on.
In the Fox case, Laurence Fox had impetuously (at first) called the Claimants “paedophiles“, which as the judge points out in the judgment, is plainly defamatory in most situations. It turns out that the Claimants were, on the evidence, not “paedophiles”. Again, Fox should have settled early. However, as with the Hopkins case, pride seems to have got in the way. The result is that Fox not only has to pay his own legal team (I presume) but that of the Claimants.
The judge (para. 166 of the liability judgment) put the primary key matter clearly:
“Mr Fox’s labelling of Mr Blake and Mr Seymour as paedophiles was, on the evidence, probabilities and facts of this case, seriously harmful, defamatory and baseless. The law affords few defences to defamation of this sort. Mr Fox did not attempt to show these allegations were true, and he was not able to bring himself on the facts within the terms of any other defence recognised in law.”
There is another link between the Hopkins and Fox cases— the involvement of the egregious Jewish-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis, a Patron of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. Years ago, Lewis used to attack me frequently on Twitter (and was involved in other activities offline), prior to his being censured and fined by the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal for similar vitriolic attacks on others; after that, Lewis decamped to Israel, but retained a foothold in London, sub nom Patron Law, the solicitors for the Claimants in the Fox case.
In both the Hopkins and Fox cases, neither of the defendants had any realistic defence, though I can see, having now read the judgment(s) in the Fox case, that his Counsel put up a good fight in a near-hopeless situation.
I have no idea as to the means available to Laurence Fox, or the likelihood of his being able to satisfy both the damages and the costs (presumably to be assessed if not agreed), but it may be that he will appeal; I cannot say. He may be wondering whether he has anything to lose, but of course I cannot express a view, knowing nothing of his financial situation.
I am not “against” Fox. I agree with many, not all, of his views (not of course as to Israel and the Jewish lobby), and I do not think that (as far as I can see or have read) he is a “bad person”. I do think that he is to some extent a “silly boy”, so to speak.
One final thing. I recently blogged about the result of the recent civil trial, also in libel, Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon and Cantor. In that case, some Jew-Zionists defamed a college lecturer, tried to ruin his life, produced other notorious Jews as false witnesses, and (or so a witness alleged in court) even tried to give a substantial bribe to a witness. Result? The lecturer won his case, but was awarded only £30,000 plus (modest, it seems) costs (the Fox case resulted in two awards of £90,000, plus —no doubt inflated— costs).
In fact, the egregious Lewis was also involved in the Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon et al case in some capacity (though not as solicitor of record, according to the published judgment), this time on the losing side (in a sense, in that the defence witnesses were all known to him; some if not all were members of the “CAA” and/or “UK Lawyers for Israel”, as is Lewis), and (from what has emerged on Twitter/X) may have also mis-advised at least one of the losing defendants, who may thereby now have to sell his house, possibly making that defendant and his family homeless; another defendant killed himself.
