Polly Toynbee represents a certain bloc of voters, though a small one; the “Labour”/LibDem bien-pensants of Blackheath, Hampstead, and Highgate who actually read not only the Guardian but also Observer, who mock the poorer British people concerned about, inter alia, migration-invasion, crime, and houses given to useless migrant-invaders and/or other blacks, browns and feral white hordes while real British people suffer.

That bloc either went to Oxford or Cambridge, or failing that to Durham University or Exeter, and want their children and grandchildren to go there (before joining the BBC, Foreign Office or maybe SIS, or becoming barristers, solicitors or doctors). Oh, and of course profess “liberal” values that are rooted not really in philosophy or ideology, but more in family trust funds, high salaries, and ownership of houses…

For as long as I can remember, Polly Toynbee has been the standard-bearer for that bloc, and wrong most (90%+) of the time.

Anyone who votes “Labour” imagining that it will be better or even much different from the Sunak misgovernment has not been paying attention.

In terms of cultural degeneracy, the UK has now outstripped the Weimar Republic. If and when the UK has a real government, a massive cultural (and other) purge will be unavoidable.

The Tories are facing electoral oblivion in the red wall as a shock poll reveals they will lose every single seat.

Polling from Electoral Calculus, shared with The Independent, reveals all 42 red wall seats held by the Conservatives are set to return to Labour at the next general election.

The scale of the rebellion against the government appears to in part be driven by the spiralling cost of living, with a separate analysis seen by The Independent showing the crisis is having a devastating impact on Tory-held seats in the red wall.

Almost two-thirds of voters believe the economy to be one of the top three issues facing the country, putting it significantly ahead of health and immigration, YouGov polling shows.

…while the economic figures “underline” the struggle in voters in those areas for the Conservatives, the prospect of the party holding on to power in the general election is already “not likely”.

Nationally, Electoral Calculus predicts a landslide Labour victory, winning around 460 seats, with the Conservatives reduced to just 90 seats.”

[The Independent]

A loss of the 42 “Red Wall” seats (which seems almost inevitable after the total collapse of the Government’s credibility on immigration and health) cannot be prevented even were the economy overall to improve. Any such improvement is unlikely to trickle down (to coin a phrase) to most of the people in those 42 areas.

In theory, the Conservative Party could lose all 42 “Red Wall” seats and still have a Commons majority of 35-40, but in reality the Government’s standing is so damaged across the country that the best that they can hope for, and at present even that seems unlikely.

Not that there is —or will be— much enthusiasm for Labour under Starmer, Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, but there is really no reason why one-time Labour voters who voted Con in 2019 would go out and vote Con in 2024; none at all. Indeed, there is little incentive even for long-term Conservative Party voters to do so. That being so, Labour may well triumph by default.

Well, this week an easy victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 4/10, whereas I managed 7/10, and might have scored 9/10 had I been able to bring to mind the answers to questions 1 and 7 (which I basically knew). The only question on which I had no idea at all was no. 3.

Humanity owes a massive karmic debt to the animal kingdom.

Slava! All the same, that central westward thrust from Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk) to Vinnitsa looks to me unnecessary and possibly counterproductive.

Russia needs to secure all territory east of the Dnieper, and also the coastal littoral of the Black Sea (including Odessa) but, above all, Kiev itself. Confine the Zelensky regime to a rump inland “state” based on Lvov.

The map shows, supposedly, something akin to the original scheme, but it probably is still the overall strategy.

Historical note

The Bürgerbräukeller, Munich, in or about 1923, shown above presumably before rather than after the “Beer Hall Putsch” (8-9 November 1923 :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch).

The photo shows a meeting of the NSDAP. All those shown in the photo were members or supporters of the NSDAP.

What interests me is that, at that time, the NSDAP was a relatively minor party even in its hub, Bavaria (in early 1923, the national membership was about 6,000, and by the Autumn of 1923 about 20,000).

In May 1924, i.e. after the failure of the “Beer Hall Putsch” (aka “Munich Putsch” or “Hitler-Ludendorff Putsch), the NSDAP (banned, so using the name “National Socialist Freedom Movement”) scored only 6.5% in the federal (national) elections, and only 3% in December 1924.

In 1923-1924, the NSDAP had the sort of minor public support that, in the UK of the 21st Century, UKIP was enjoying about a decade ago, and that the BNP had about 15 years ago.

All the same, look at that photograph of the NSDAP meeting in 1923. Many hundreds of people, at the least. All looking decently-dressed.

One cannot but help compare that to the tiny so-called “far-right” (national and social-national) parties of today’s Britain.

The main difference politically between Germany in 1923 and Britain in 2023 is, that in 1923 Germany, there were large numbers of Germans of all social and income groups who supported the idea of national renewal. The NSDAP may only have had a few thousand or tens of thousands of members, but other volkisch parties and groups, such as, and primarily, the Stahlhelm, had the same or more, in some cases hundreds of thousands: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Stahlhelm,_Bund_der_Frontsoldaten.

Look now at Britain in 2023. The degenerate strata of higher-income and high-social-status groups do not, generally, support national renewal, but are (metaphorically) signed up to the trends which are destroying our society (and now destroying it quite rapidly).

What that means is that, should social-nationalism, by a political miracle (which I do not rule out) take power in this country, it will have to start its mission by removing surgically, and by drastic surgery, large sections of degenerate society, at all income and social-status levels.

Angela Rayner, of course, has never studied economics (even informally or —it seems—on the most basic level) and therefore, perhaps, should not be expected to understand that fast economic growth is more likely to stimulate inflation than to reduce it. The problem with our system of politics and government is that ignorant people such as Angela Rayner are selected as MPs, notionally “elected”, then spout stupid nonsense, but many potential voters then probably accept that nonsense as “good sense”…

Typical unthinking Brit voter/tweeter wants BBC Radio 4 Today to interview Government ministers who refuse to come onto the show. How would that work?

As I said on yesterday’s blog, an outright embezzler and fraudster. Every bit as bad as “Jack Monroe”.

Twitter polls are worth little, of course, but at least this one has received nearly 11,000 votes. 89.7% think that Russia will win the war, or that there will be no “winner” as such.

Time to take away Zelensky’s ricebowl. Our poor and struggling people in Europe, as well as those of the USA, need the money far more.

Hard to believe? Would you have believed it in, say, 2019, if someone had said that, within a year or two, the UK Government would have locked almost the entire population in their homes on pain of arrest and a heavy fine, or would have had anyone going for a ride on a bike, or for a drive, or camping on a deserted Welsh hillside, or sitting alone on a beach, or on a park bench, arrested?

Or that the police would relish their new role as poundland KGB militia, “checking” and “monitoring” the purchases shoppers made at supermarkets to decide whether they were “necessary”? Or harassing, by loudspeakers mounted on aerial drones, elderly couples walking on the hills of the Peak District, instructing them to go home?

Or almost closing down the NHS for real patients with real and serious medical conditions, while pretending to “protect” the UK population from a virus that killed almost no-one who even had it?

Oh, or that new (fake) “Nightingale hospitals” would be set up (to look impressive), but then that few would even be used at all, and that the new “hospitals” would just be dismantled like so much stage scenery (which is what they were) after the play is ended?

Would you have believed, back in 2019, if someone had said that by 2020 or 2021 the Government would unlawfully pass “laws” on the nod, laws and regulations that would force people to line up six feet apart to go into supermarkets (though, ludicrously, not in practice inside the same shops), or that the part-Jew clown posing as Prime Minister would lay down “regulations” making people wear useless cloth facemasks all over the place, and also mandating that no-one should have more than 6 non-resident people in a house at any one time? Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland? No, just Britain in the years 2020-2022.

A majority of the UK population actually went along with most of that nonsense, partly by reason of a huge barrage of fear-propaganda, partly because the Government sprayed money at people— “furlough” payments, “loans” (grants), and temporary stoppage of the usual stupid DWP harassment of the unemployed, sick, and disabled. In short, the people were bought off, bribed not to protest. “Working from home” was part of that.

Now? The genie is out of the bottle. We see the prospect of ULEZ zones, and “15-minute-cities” that might become, over time, ghettoes or “very open” prisons.

Cars? Well, first they came for the diesel cars and SUVs, then for petrol-driven vehicles, then they made everyone drive electric cars, then those who could not afford £50,000 for a new electric car or £20,000 for a used one were forbidden, in effect, from driving. It’s already planned.

What about microchips under the skin? Not yet in place…being talked about, though.

What about people unable to use cash, only cards or, in time, only microchip “cards” under the skin? What if you have the “wrong” views on politics or society? Then your “banking services” will be withdrawn (as has already happened to Nigel Farage, Laura Towler, Mark Collett etc), and you will be, in the future, marginalized or even starved.

Some of the above is still not in place, but for how long?

A good example of the sort of useless non-European parasite promoted by the msm. Again, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

At last some sense on TV…

The absurdity of the UK in 2023 is that you still have large numbers of Twitter-twits and other virtue-signallers desperately bleating about the terrible state of the NHS, schools, roads, rail, pay, State benefits, housing etc, yet at the very same time wanting the country flooded with even more non-white migrant-invaders. They see no connection at all between the lack of services, low pay, lack of affordable housing, and the increase in UK population from about 56 million in the 1970s to about 70 million in 2023.

[Four million?! If only…think fourteen million, or more]

All of that increase has come from mass immigration and births to non-whites. The real English/British population is not increasing; the birth rate is below replacement level, in fact.

The “Jack Monroe” “sock-account”, “Namaste123”, featured in yesterday’s blog, has now gone, deleted by “Jack Monroe” herself.

It becomes pretty clear that the fraudster’s sins have pretty much caught up with her; she has been shot down, and is crashing in flames. All the same, and as of today, 383 utter mugs still send her money every month via Patreon, so she can hardly complain. Maybe £2,000, maybe £4,000 (maybe more) per month. In cash. For doing precisely nothing.

It is incredible how many on Twitter (very unrepresentative of the British people, of course) see “grifters” and know-nothings such as “Jack Monroe”, Julia Grace Patterson, “Supertanskiii”, “Femi” etc as somehow worth supporting (both with words and donations of cash).

If those thousands of naive mugs were typical of the British people, I should despair, but in reality the Twit-universe is a tiny parallel universe. For every pseudo-socialist tweeter supporting the above-named “grifters”, there are perhaps thousands, certainly hundreds of people with very different views (eg about the necessity to stop and reverse the migration-invasion).

Unless a nuclear missile lands on Kiev one day.

So the “Conservative” Party has now alienated the” “young” generally (maybe 90% of those under 30), the working families, the unemployed, most voters under 60, both those who support “refugees” incoming and also those who do not want more migrant-invaders, those renting properties because unable to buy, those wanting clean rivers and other environmental improvements, and now those who are sick and/or disabled and who are not already anti-Con.

Many, perhaps most, of those getting disability benefits are over 60, i.e. the only demographic until recently still supporting the Conservative Party.

The trend of things electoral seems to be that the hard core of Conservative Party support for the expected 2024 General Election will be persons over 60 who 1. have no opinion either way about the migration invasion, who 2. are homeowners without any mortgage obligation, who 3. are not short of money, 4. who do not receive any State benefits at all (beyond the State Pension itself), and 5. who do not object to a government (at Cabinet level) largely composed of non-whites.

There is at least a possibility that Sunak will suspend the Triple Lock on State pensions, as he did when Chancellor. As I predicted on the blog at the time, that first decision cut away the bedrock of pensioner electoral support for (and trust in) the Conservative Party; the fall in Con Party fortunes dates from that time a couple of years ago.

I begin to think that Sunak will be lucky to keep even 20% of the popular vote, though I still see Labour as not offering anything much to the British people (and, after all, Starmer’s policies are not, in reality, going to be much different to those of Sunak).

I should think that, despite the fact that the Sunak government is doomed, the next election in terms of seats will be decided by many voters making their decision in the final days of the campaign.

I did not know that he was still around; I recall reading his book, Coup d’Etat, around 1978. Some British Army fellow “borrowed” it, and I was unable to get it back.

It is a notorious fact that armies and states often prepare to fight the last war, the war already fought. In 1939, Poland collapsed within 5 weeks after powerful German forces invaded from the west, indeed from west, north, and south simultaneously on and after 1 September 1939.

The Polish forces were hopelessly outmanouvered and outgunnned. They withdrew to the southeast, only to be outplayed when Soviet forces invaded from the easterly direction on 17 September 1939. Faced with attacks from all sides, the Poles had no choice but to surrender de facto by 6 October 1939, though there never was a formal surrender.

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

Notoriously, the Poles, in one famous engagement, made a hopeless cavalry charge against the latest German tanks. The Germans were fighting (as it turned out) the Second World War, whereas the Poles were using the tactics not even of the First World War but of the 19th Century.

Scrolling on to 2023, we see the Polish Army more powerful than it has been for centuries, but its strength lies in armour, and in numbers. Second World War strengths. The Russians may or may not be able to equal that, not without general mobilization, but Russia also has well over 6,000 nuclear weapons of various kinds, mostly missiles. Nuclear missiles (etc) against tanks?

The old Soviet Union also had “suitcase bombs”, capable of destroying city centres to a diameter of perhaps two miles. Does Russia have a similar programme now? I do not know, but would not bet against it.

What is disturbing at present is that, even more than in 1939, the war drums are beating far louder than the plaintive cries for peace.

Not just in Poland and Ukraine, but across the world, especially in the USA and UK, and in the EU.

It is a warning, “a shot across the bow”. The fastest, most advanced Russian missiles, with nuclear warheads, cannot be intercepted at present. Stop fuelling the Kiev regime, stop getting entangled in war with Russia.

Damn. For the second time recently, political journalist John Rentoul beat my score (which has happened only very rarely over the past several years). This week, he scored 8/10 as against my 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 6, and 10.

As not infrequently noted on the blog, Ukraine now has few domestic volunteers willing to go to near-certain death or serious injury at the front. Likewise, few foreign adventurers are now willing to risk it, whether for misguided idealism, for thrills, or for —relatively paltry— money.

Many Ukrainians are trying to evade conscription, and/or to get across the borders of Ukraine (forbidden to most men 18+ in age). Meanwhile, Kiev-regime press-gangs are now scouring the streets trying to find draft-dodgers. The wealthier evaders are willing to pay plenty for an exemption document, which might also allow them to escape the country.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12399127/President-Zelensky-takes-Ukraine-war-Russia-Moscow-Kyiv-engage-tit-tat-drone-missile-strikes.html

Ukraine and Russia have engaged in tit-for-tat drone and missile attacks as their war of attrition intensifies.

President Volodymyr Zelensky is increasingly taking the war to Russia, with fresh strikes on Moscow yesterday.

Earlier this month, Ukrainian drones damaged government offices in the capital, and on Thursday Russia said it downed two drones headed for Moscow, a day after two others were destroyed on approach. Targets yesterday included the west of the capital near the Karamyshinsky hydroelectric power station.

The attacks led to the closure of airspace over Moscow’s Vnukovo international airport and Kaluga city, 125 miles to the south west.

At least two drones were reported, with one filmed buzzing the Russian capital. A drone was said to have been shot down by Russia. There were also reports of an explosion in Krasnogorsk in north-west Moscow.

Should the Russian leadership so decide, Kiev and all other Ukrainian cities can be razed to the ground, either via nuclear attack or via conventional missiles, bombs etc. That would be a terrible thing, and bitter for both sides, but the Kiev regime is playing with fire.

You only have to look at the bitch in question (one Pamela Mattinson, of Bolton, Lancashire): dressed in exercise clothing even at court, and a grandmother at the age of 48 (though looking 70 years old)… a “chavscum” grandmother.

Oh…and of course (needless to add) she has “issues” with alcoholism and her “mental health”…drinking vodka in the middle of the day…

Look at her with (I presume) her equally “chavscum” daughter, smirking on the steps of the court.

Rhetorically, one might ask why her sentence was suspended, but these days, in England, you rarely get a prison sentence unless you murder someone, or publish something that the Jewish lobby does not like.

Britain now has millions of feral and useless persons of that sort. The country needs to be cleansed.

At least the kitten recovered and was rehomed, but the bitch who tried to kill it has not been suitably punished, not at all.

This is not simply a report about an abused kitten, nor even about one wicked woman and her probably-equally-unpleasant family, but also the context of a whole stratum of society that should be straightened out or eliminated.

That first tweeter, “Mariken”, is very typical of many naive “Jack Monroe” supporters. Even after the past year or more of gradually-intensifying exposure of the “grift” and outright fraud by “Jack Monroe” (one or two mild assessments were even published in the Guardian and Daily Mail), “Mariken” obviously has no idea at all. Amusingly, her Twitter profile says “Animal lover. Hate corruption and liars“, yet here she is lauding psycho liar “Jack Monroe”, who also killed at least one or two domestic animals by wilful neglect or worse.

You could hardly make it up— the silly woman thinks that “Jack Monroe” is “a great role model“! What part of constant lying, “grift”, theft, fraud, and the harassment of both critics and disenchanted donors (etc) does “Mariken” fail to understand? Not to mention alcohol and drug abuse, and the profligate spending of other people’s money (etc).

America, “land of freedom”…

Yes. Starmer stands for nothing, basically, except of course being even more of an Israel/Jewish-lobby puppet than (inter alia) David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, Liz Truss, or “Boris” idiot. As previously said on the blog, Labour also now stands for absolutely nothing, unless it is the parody “we can run workhouses better” (etc).

As against that, the present “Conservative” government has taken “Boris”-idiot’s “omnishambles” to a whole new level. Even its own MPs are now loud in condemnation of its total incompetence. The Con MPs hoping to stay on as MPs, that is; many others are already in the lifeboats as the Con ship sinks in the opinion polls.

My assessment at present is that there is no enthusiasm for Labour (beyond the usual Twitter drones). Labour is up because the Con Party and its misgovernment are down, purely that.

On the above premises, while the Sunak government is obviously doomed, it may not be quite as doomed as presently appears. If the economy (the real economy, for the average Joe) improves a little, if inflation falls at the same time, i.e. over the next 6-9 months, and if that average Joe, and Josephine, feel apathetic or so-so rather than actually angry about the present government, then they may just stick with Con rather than defect to LibDem or Lab.

If enough of them do that, in marginal seats, then the prospect of a 1997-style Labour landslide (seats, not the popular vote) may just disappear like a mirage. We may then be back in hung Parliament territory.

Needless to say, I am not interested in “anti-racism” except as an observer of potentially-hostile groups, but I certainly agree with Miller’s points “1” and “2”, and “3” is at least arguable.

I have no idea how true any of that may be, but I have long been suspicious of the part-Jew scribbler and talking head, Paul Mason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist). A decade ago, I found his books (I read two of them) interesting (on economic and some social matters), but his political standpoint seemed to be an odd and very silly 1960s conflation of Marxism and anarcho-syndicalism.

In fact, the Wikipedia section about Mason’s political ideology shows him almost kaleidoscopic in belief or display [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)#Politics] which could be (I say could be, not is) a good cover for someone engaged in covert activities.

Mason says that he has moved from what he refers to as Trotskyism to (again, his description) “social democracy“.

Whatever his true views (assuming that he has some), Mason is basically anti-democratic, favouring state repression in a number of instances. Look at the remark he made about UKIP voters to the Daily Express in 2017: “They are toe-rags, basically. They are the bloke who nicks your bike.” A strange view to take of the nearly 4,000,000 voters who voted UKIP in 2015, or even of the nearly 600,000 who voted UKIP in 2017.

I should say that, in my opinion, Mason’s overall attitude to the British people is one of snarling contempt.

In the New Statesman magazine in June 2018, Mason argued the case for state suppression of “fascists”, saying that he favoured a policy of using “the full panoply of security measures to deter and monitor” those he described as “racists” and added: “For clarity, unlike many on the left, that means I am in favour of state suppression of fascist groups.” He finished his article by saying that “The progressive half of Britain needs a narrative to overcome this threat: a narrative based on shared, historic values of democracy and tolerance”, and also “[to] stop pandering to right-wing nationalism and xenophobia and start fighting it.”

[Wikipedia]

A point of view which is almost identical to that of the pre-1990 “Stasi” repression machine of the DDR (East Germany). It is also, in fact, not far from the view seemingly now taken by the “security” drones in the UK, perhaps tellingly.

Oddly, Mason’s background is not one of an economist. His degree was a “soft” one (Music and Politics, awarded by the University of Sheffield), after which he trained as a music teacher, then did some postgraduate research, again in the musical field. He taught music at Loughborough University for several years until 1988, when he was 28.

Mason moved to London in 1988, but his source(s) of income over the following 3 years are unknown; he then became, apparently, a “freelance journalist” for about 4 years (the date of starting doing that is vague), until employed from about 1995 on several different publications as writer and editor, the latter role having been at Computer Weekly.

From 2001 to 2013, Mason was on BBC Newsnight, and then was Economics Editor of Channel 4 News (2014-2016). After that, again freelance. He also now runs a political “consultancy”.

For whatever reason, Mason has been rejected (so far) in his quest to become a Labour MP, a quest which I predicted a decade ago in one of my popular reviews on Amazon UK, where I was voted one of the so-called “Top Reviewers”.

Sadly, readers of this blog cannot verify what I have just written— the Jewish lobby had all my Amazon UK reviews removed many years ago (thus proving, once again, that democracy and civil rights cannot co-exist for very long with a substantial Jewish population, not in any country).

As noted, Mason has tried to become a Labour MP in three constituencies so far, and reached the shortlist in two of them before having been rejected. Now, rumour has it that Mason will be selected to fight the Islington North seat presently held by Jeremy Corbyn, who has been sacked, to put it plainly, by Keir Starmer.

Mason has backed Starmer since at least 2022, despite Starmer’s policies being not very far removed from those of the Conservative Party. Mason the chameleon…

Autres temps, autres moeurs, perhaps. Mason must have had an income in the hundreds of thousands per annum in recent years…

Corbyn got about 64% of the vote at Islington North in 2019, has represented the area since 1983 and, apart from that first election (when he scored 40%) has never dropped below 50%, scoring 73% in 2017.

How much of Corbyn’s vote at Islington is for Corbyn and how much for Labour-label will only be made known at the next general election. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islington_North_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s. If Corbyn stands on some basis, and if Mason is the official Labour Party candidate, the fight will be brutal.

Migration invasion

I happened to see a few minutes of Sky News. All about the barge for “refugees'” at Portland. Can just about take 600 “refugees” (migrant invaders), so about one day’s Channel crossing total.

There was a small pro-migrant demonstration (about 20 idiots). The spokeswoman seemed to be some deluded old bat who said that the Government was at fault for not “processing” quickly enough the migrants’ asylum claims, so that they could be “settled”. Settled where? In houses and flats which should be going to British people.

I should be willing to bet that the deluded old bat in question thinks that everyone in the UK should have higher pay, better State benefits, better NHS services etc. How on Earth does she (and all those who think like her) imagine that those aims can be accomplished, when a million migrants a year are entering the UK, many of them completely unemployable? Those hordes are, at best, a millstone round the neck of the British people, and at worst a hostile enemy force and bloc.

Incidentally, the invaders on the barge will not be detained there. Oh, no. They will live there, sheltered and fed, and provided with medical and dental services. They will not only be free to go out to Portland or Weymouth or elsewhere, but also provided with a free shuttle bus service from the barge to the nearest town (running from morning until into the evening), and some pocket money (I believe about £40 a week).

All the System parties are in fact within the same Coudenhove-Kalergi conspiracy, at their higher levels.

Well, the founder of “Care4Calais”, Clare Moseley, certainly offered a migrant-invader not only her bedroom but also her bed, and herself in it! See below.

As previously remarked, if the (mostly fake) “refugee” hordes are simply a useless parasitic population within our borders, that would be the best outcome. The worst (and far more likely) outcome would be that the black/brown invaders will form a vast criminal and/or terroristic bloc here. It is already happening, in fact.

The fact is that the Government has lost control, the fake Labour “Opposition” might even be worse from 2024, the Security Service, MI5, and the police and their so-called “anti-terror” branches have also lost control, and mainly focus on the British popular response to the migration invasion, by repressing freedom of expression etc.

Eventually, something will have to give way, and we shall then be in some form of civil war.

Saturday quiz

Ah…a terrible result for me too this week, one of the worst in the past several years of doing this Saturday quiz. I was even beaten by political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10 points; this week I could manage only a mere 3/10. I only knew the answers to questions 3, 6, and 10. Had I thought longer, I should have got numbers 5 and 8 as well, but there it is.

Incidentally, question 6 may have been wrongly-put anyway (though I still got the answer); some people think that the phrase in question only originated in or about 1964, not 1956. I certainly thought so until today.

The Kiev regime no longer has adventurers and chancers, and would-be mercenaries, lining up to volunteer, not now that a posting to the front line means a death sentence, so the regime has widened the scope of conscription, and has press-gangs operating, pulling potential cannon-fodder off the streets.

Georgia should stick to walnuts and wine, and leave war to those capable of engaging in it seriously.

For once I agree with that (usually idiotic) tweeter, “@jdpoc”.

In the old saying, “even a stopped clock is right once [or twice] per day“.

Piers Morgan talking about “where the line is” on satire, i.e. as to when should it not exist, when might it even be deemed unlawful. Of course, Morgan is just another msm moneygrubber and careerist who knows that, to continue his lucrative nonsense, he has to keep in with the Jew-Zionist cabals which, to a large extent, control and/or influence the TV industry and the msm in general.

TV shows have, for well over 60 years, “offended” the British people. No redress…

…and guess what group, more than any other, has “offended” the British people, slandered them, trashed their beliefs, culture, and way of life? That’s right…

Morgan even has the gall to claim that he supports freedom of expression, presumably excepting from that any situation where a Jew, or a group of Jews, however small in number, claims “offence” (and the “Campaign Against AntiSemitism” is really very small, just a handful of Jew-Zionists tweeting and causing trouble, making false and malicious complaints to police, Twitter, MPs, cafes or local authorities showing anti-Zionist films or hosting anti-Zionist comedians etc; but wealthy Jews stumped up £600,000+ last year so that the “CAA” could continue with what many call “lawfare” against freedom of expression).

The Church of England stopped being a spiritual organization many many years ago. The pro-Israel, pro-Jew-Zionist C. of E. under Welby is merely the gravestone on top.

Starmer-Labour’s troops are deserting

The Labour Party, under Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, is on track, arguably, to form a government in 2024 (though the fat lady has not yet sung), but that fake “popularity” is wholly by default, because we the people have, at present, a Conservative Party regime so corrupt, shambolic, and useless that even fairly hard-core former Conservative Party voters are either voting elsewhere or, in far greater numbers, abstaining in by-elections.

The “Labour surge” in the opinion polls is purely that— contempt for the Conservative Party government’s uselessness, which has been the case since the 2010 election that brought the part-Jews, David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne to power.

That shambolic inability to govern properly continued under (also part-Jewish) Theresa May and then (this becomes ridiculous) part-Jew Boris Johnson and his cronies. Then, of course, we endured a few weeks of utter nonsense under ignorant little careerist “ho” Liz Truss and her “African at Eton” Chancellor, Kwasi (aka Woollyhead Trussbanger). Liz Truss was then sacked (by any other word) and replaced by Indian money-juggler Rishi Sunak, arguably the least convincing of the lot (apart from, obviously, Liz Truss and Woollyhead Trussbanger).

In the above-noted circumstances, and after 13+ years (except during the “Covid” “panicdemic” of 2020-22) of “austerity” policies, which were actually counter-productive, it is scarcely surprising that people are more than unenthusiastic (contemptuous, despairing) about the Conservative Party.

There again, Starmer-Labour is now not even promising much of a change from the policies (if they can be so dignified) of the present Conservative Party omnishambles. In fact, the difference is mostly meaningless hot air from Starmer and, mainly, Rachel Reeves.

Labour Party rank-and-file members (who numbered, under Corbyn, about 600,000, but who now number about 385,000 and that number falling fast), may well think “what is the point in tramping round streets canvassing etc, just so that a ‘Con-lite’, Jewish-lobby, Starmer government can be installed and then carry out policies almost identical to those of Sunak?”

See, for example, https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/most-labour-voters-motivated-by-hostility-towards-government-26h8tk3xw: most present Labour voters “hostile” to the Sunak misgovernment but “unconvinced” by Starmer and his crowd. Exactly so.

This is the moment when, if we had a truly open “democracy”, a social-national party might sweep the board. However, here again we come up against the well-entrenched Jew-Zionist lobby, which makes sure (so far) that anything even mildly “national”, let alone social-national, is demonized, using all the msm puppets and controlled outlets, and ranging from news to (unfunny) comedy. One example would be Baddiel, perhaps, arguably, describable as “the unthinking man’s Jonathan Miller“.

Reverting to the semi-rigged battle between equally-misnamed “Labour” and “Conservative”, it seems to me that, in the expected 2024 General Election, the most important factor will not be ideological division, nor any enthusiasm for either System party, but how many voters will abstain, and where, and why.

The steady and fairly considerable outflow of Labour Party members will not be decisive at its present rate, not before 2025. About 5,000 per month. In 17 months (i.e. until the last possible date of the next general election), that might be 90,000, out of 385,000 members at present.

It may be that, in a general election, voter abstentions on the Con side will be fewer than at the recent by-elections, and that there may be many more than expected on the Lab side. Also, that Starmer and Rachel Reeves and Yvette Cooper will be quite literally hated so much that many may either abstain, or vote non-Labour, simply to prevent their having power.

Another pro-Jewish-lobby drone, apart from anything else…

Not “insane” exactly, but signed up to a transnational conspiracy which has taken on certain shibboleths: the “trans” nonsense, the whole “Covid” “panicdemic”/”scamdemic”, the “holocaust” farrago and other Jewish-lobby propaganda, “standing with” “Ukraine” (Kiev regime), “Black Lives Matter”, “refugees welcome”, and so on.

Incidentally, interesting that “I stand with Ukraine” is a construction only ever seen otherwise in “I stand with Israel“…

My view is that there is nothing wrong anyway with being “racist” or “antisemitic” in a defensive way. There is certainly nothing unlawful about either, as such, in England, as judges have repeatedly confirmed.

See above thoughts, earlier on today’s blog post…

If you vote Labour now and/or in 2024 (not in 1926, not in 1945, not in 1966, not in 1979, not even in 1997, but now, or next year), you are voting for people such as Lisa Nandy, Keir Starmer etc, who are so intellectually dishonest that they cannot distinguish a man from a woman, cannot distinguish themselves from Sunak and his pack of idiots on policy, and who, just like the “Conservatives”, are totally in the pocket of the Israel lobby.

Is that so? I hope not. The Baltic states must be allowed to govern themselves, so long as they do not threaten Russia.

Look at the big picture as it now is.

Sanctions against Russia have mostly hurt the EU, the UK, and the USA, not Russia. Western and Central Europe is facing economic and socio-political meltdown if inflation continues to rise and incomes to drop.

Russia (unlike Ukraine) is a world nuclear power, with maybe 6,000 usable nuclear weapons; it has hundreds of millions of people, and territory nearly twice the size of the USA (and over 70 times the size of the UK).

Much of the world outside the NATO alliance is at least neutral towards Russia, and many states are with Russia on Ukraine.

Russia is benefiting financially from oil and gas sales to non-sanctions countries, and they are benefiting from trade with Russia, trade much of which was formerly USA-Russia or EU-Russia.

Ukraine simply cannot “win” against Russia, however many tanks and other pieces of equipment are supplied to the regime in Kiev. It is a logical impossibility. The only possibilities, in the medium-term, say up to 2030, are Russian victory over the whole of the eastern part of Ukraine, as well as Crimea and the Black Sea coastal zone, or a stalemate, after which US/EU/UK support for the Kiev regime will eventually fall away.

The next US President will probably scale back US support for Zelensky and his regime, and will almost certainly not increase it.

Now, Biden is demented; back then, in 2019, he was just a very obviously unpleasant person. Were he not a politician, notunder public scrutiny, and were he in, say, an Irish-American bar somewhere, one could imagine him viciously assaulting his interlocutor.

The Harry Formerly Known as Prince, and Meghan Mulatta, are a pair of one-trick ponies. They are rapidly becoming yesterday’s news, except as a kind of joke.

So, again, who is hurt by sanctions against Russia? The consumers and taxpayers of western and central Europe. Not Russia or Russians. The gas produced in Russia will still be sold elsewhere in the world, and Russian citizens are, if anything, better off than they were before the sanctions were imposed.

“Western decadence”, or just “Western” madness?

A strange “war”, in which Ukraine (Kiev regime) allows transit of Russian oil exports through its territory (at a price) and, until last week, Russia allowed the Kiev regime to export grain.

Eliminate the users and you also eliminate the dealers, importers, chemists, as well as the social problems resulting from drug abuse.

Is it not the other way around? Whatever. The fact is that there is little clear blue water between the two major System parties, a fact many voters have started to realize.

There is a good chance that, whoever wins the next U.S. Presidential election, the USA will take away Zelensky’s ricebowl.

The three by-elections of 20 July 2023

Uxbridge and South Ruislip

The result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uxbridge_and_South_Ruislip_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

As I predicted on the blog a couple of days ago, this was a “battle of the apathies”. Complete “Conservative” omnishambles meets Labour mediocrity (both on the national and constituency levels).

The successful Conservative candidate drew a veil over both the non-performance of the Rishi Sunak government and the egregiously poor behaviour (and capabilities) of ex-MP “Boris” Johnson; the candidate just kept hitting at the ridiculous Sadiq Khan ULEZ scheme [“Ultra Low Emission Zone”], and saying very little else about anything.

In a sense that concentration on ULEZ shows how meaningless the supposed “democracy” of the UK now is. The ULEZ idea and policy was first mooted by none other than “Boris”-idiot and the Conservative Party in London. Quite apart from that, the new Con Party MP, one Steve Tuckwell [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Tuckwell] will be able to exercise precisely zero influence over the ULEZ scheme and Sadiq Khan.

The Labour Party candidate, Danny Beales, was arguably not a good candidate in the particular constituency, an outer London suburb. Gay, a former councillor in inner-city Camden, and a graduate of the London School of Economics.

That said, the result was close— 495 votes decided it. Both the LibDem voters (526, fifth place), and/or the Green Party voters (893, third place), had they voted tactically, could have prevented the narrow Con Party victory. Neither Greens nor LibDems had a chance of winning, and both lost their deposits, along with the other 13 candidates, all of whom could be described as either “minor” or “joke” candidates.

The actor Laurence Fox, for Reclaim, did well, in a minor way, to come fourth, not far behind the Green. Still, this was really between Con Party (13,965 votes, 45.2%) and Labour (13,470, 43.6%). The other 15 parties and independents only scored 11.2% between them.

It does puzzle me why LibDem voters in particular did not all vote tactically. Some did, plainly, looking at previous election results where the LibDem vote was higher by far (peaking at 20% in 2010, though only 6.3% in 2019), but not enough.

Why did 526 LibDems bother to trot down to vote, knowing that their candidate had no chance? Even if they hated both Con and Lab, and so were unwilling to vote for either, why bother to vote? As someone said of golf, “a good walk spoiled“.

So a Conservative Party win, though scarcely a ringing endorsement.

Turnout was about 2/3 of that in 2019, and indeed the previous elections. I am assuming from that that many former Conservative voters, in what was since creation in 2010 a fairly safe Conservative seat (a new seat on these boundaries), just threw up their hands in disgust at both main System parties, could find no other home for their votes, and so “voted with their feet”— abstained.

Selby and Ainsty

The result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selby_and_Ainsty_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The successful Labour candidate is 25, once again (like the Labour candidate at Uxbridge) gay (seems that it is almost compulsory now in the Labour Party), and has only worked for 18 months since leaving university. Interestingly, those 18 months were spent working at the Confederation of British Industry, a more usual place in which to find young Conservatives, surely?

Also, he spent some months in 2019 and 2020 working with Wes Streeting, the “centrist” (Labour Friends of Israel) MP. So it seems that Keir Mather will fit easily into the Keir Starmer Labour Party. Not much else is yet known about him: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Mather.

Why did Mather win what had previously been regarded as a safe Conservative seat? As at Uxbridge, the implication is surely obvious: former Conservative voters were appalled at both major System parties, and so preferred to stay home rather than vote Labour (or elsewhere).

Mather scored 46% of the overall vote, as against 34.3% scored by his Con Party opponent.

Since the creation of the seat in 2010, the Conservative Party had won easily all elections, scoring between 49.4% (2010) and 60.3% (2019). Labour, however, had scored only around 25% of the vote, except in 2017, under Corbyn, when the Labour Party candidate managed over 34%.

The key here, as with Uxbridge, lies in the turnout. The by-election turnout was only 44.8%, whereas in 2019 it was 71.7% (and in previous elections, not dissimilar).

The implication, again, as at Uxbridge, is that former Conservative Party voters, in a formerly safe Conservative area, simply decided not to vote.

There was obviously a degree of tactical voting at Selby; the LibDem vote went down from 8.6% to 3.3%; without tactical voting, the result would have been much closer but not, in my view, different.

Incidentally, the LibDems only managed sixth place, no doubt because many otherwise LibDems voted Labour. The third place went to the Greens, whose candidate was the only one of the minor candidates to save his deposit (5.1%).

I was interested to see that a “Yorkshire Party” candidate, one Mike Jordan, who failed to fill in his nomination papers properly and so was a blank space (not even “Independent”) on the ballot paper, yet managed to score 4.2%. Not bad in the circumstances, and maybe a sign that localism, or at least regionalism, may be resurgent as central government falters and fails.

The Selby contest had other things in common with that at Uxbridge— contempt for the former MP (at Selby, he had stepped down apparently in order to damage Sunak and his party, and after having been passed over for a peerage); the fact that both seats were 2010 creations on their present boundaries; and of course the fact that the public are both despairing and angry at the overall non-performance by Sunak and his Cabinet. Mass immigration, migration invasion, cost of living increases, inflation, crime, NHS defaults etc.

The result was that Labour won at Selby, and very nearly won at Uxbridge, only by default. There is no enthusiasm at all for the Labour Party and its non-policies (basically the same as the Conservative Party policies), but equally there is no enthusiasm (and no respect) for Sunak and his Cabinet of (mainly) non-Brits (Indians, a black or half-caste or two, the odd Jew). These were by-elections. The ruling party is inevitably on the back foot.

Starmer’s strategy seems to be not to rock the boat now that Labour is ahead in the opinion polls. It is hard for Sunak and Con Party to score a hit on Labour’s battleship simply because Labour policy now so closely mirrors that of the Con Party. Almost indistinguishable. If the Conservative Party attacks Labour policy, it is to a large extent criticizing its own policy. In a sense, brilliant… but also dispiriting and pointless.

Somerton and Frome

The result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerton_and_Frome_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The LibDem candidate, Sarah Dyke [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Dyke] won easily, as predicted. I blogged briefly about her a couple of days ago. Her vote-share of 56.4%, as against the Conservative candidate’s 26.2%, mirrors in reverse almost exactly the result at the 2019 General Election.

Third place went to the Greens, with a fairly sizeable vote (10.2%). Reform UK beat Labour and three minor candidates for fourth place, but still lost the deposit, with 3.4%.

In a mostly affluent and bucolic area of this sort, Labour has little chance, and its vote has dropped below 5% in the past, though it scored 17.2% in 2017 (under Corbyn) and 12.9% in 2019. It is clear that, realising that Labour had no chance, former Labour voters voted tactically at the by-election, and that Labour’s 2.6% vote reflected that.

Turnout was, as at the other by-elections yesterday, pathetic— 44.23%. That compares to 75.6% in 2019, and turnouts in previous election which only once dropped below 70%, and which once exceeded 82%.

The LibDems held Somerton and Frome until 2015, so were always going to have a chance in the seat, once the “Con Coalition” of 2010-2015 faded from immediate memory, though the damage from that was still evident in 2019, at which election the LibDems scored only 26.2% (exactly the same as the Conservative Party vote at yesterday’s by-election).

The conclusion is pretty clear: the Conservative voters of 2019 either stayed home yesterday, or switched to the LibDems, Former Labour voters switched to LibDem to hit out at the Sunak misgovernment.

As at the other two by-elections, the contempt many apparently felt for the ex-MP, Warburton, was certainly another important factor, though perhaps not the most important.

Overall conclusion as to the main System parties in the light of the by-elections

The LibDems only have a chance to gain seats in rural/affluent parts of southern or south-western England. I do not see them recovering in any big way elsewhere.

The Conservative Party government is toast, surely. It will have to fall back on its hard core, mostly fairly comfortably-off homeowners aged 70+.

Electoral Calculus is currently predicting only 100 Con seats at the expected 2024 General Election: see https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/homepage.html.

475 seats for Labour. That is “elected dictatorship”.

I just tried the “user-defined poll” at Electoral Calculus. My guesses resulted in only 61 seats for the Conservative Party.

What about Labour? Well, I detect no real enthusiasm for Labour, which means that there is every chance that the new MP for Selby may only be an MP for about a year, and will then have to find a less well-paid and less interesting (?) job.

More seriously, the only way that Indian money-juggler Rishi Sunak could claw back some electoral support would be to STOP the boats, CUT BACK the main (i.e. “legal”) mass immigration, DEPORT hundreds of thousands, RENATIONALIZE water, rail and possibly the energy utilities, and start to really bat for Britain.

Those 2019 Conservative Party voters might return to the Con fold, but only if they see some action; words are played-out.

Still, none of the three by-election seats are natural Labour territory.

Pretty hard, though, for an Indian whose Cabinet is mainly non-white, or Jewish, and who worked for the predatory Goldman Sachs bankers (and so is a globalist “libertarian” by instinct).

It seems to me a 50-50 chance that the Conservative Party MPs will ditch Sunak before the next general election, but if they do, who on Earth can they try to present to the public as a credible leader?

As for attacking Starmer, the only things that might work would be to use American-style personal attacks, and to focus on his complete mendacity, his broken promises, on his “taking the knee” to the “Black Lives Matter” thugs, and his being completely in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby (the only thing is— so are the “Conservatives”…).

Conclusion, then— Labour will probably win in 2024 by default, but if some real movement on the above-designated issues were to happen, it might be a different story…

At least the sparrows will be eating.

There are really only two realistic possibilities: either she is Johnson’s secret daughter (one of them) or she was being screwed by him. It now turns out that she was only a kind of temp anyway, covering the job usually done by a recent mother. Maternity cover.

Britain is so screwed, it is hard to believe.

As for “Baroness” Chapman, she was an MP for 9 years (2010-2019), and then (having been voted out as MP) was elevated to the Lords on Starmer’s nomination, having previously done sweet FA by way of work in her life except a short time as the constituency manager for ghastly careerist MP Alan Milburn. So she can shut up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Chapman.

She is the mother of children, and that (and presumably being a “home-maker”) is a very honourable estate, but it is not the “real life experience” of work in the outer world, as per that clip.

As for Johnny Mercer MP, I have found him a big disappointment as MP, but I think that he can claim a great deal more “life experience” than “Baroness” Chapman, let alone that epicene little creature who is now the MP for Selby and Ainsty.

Many people on Twitter are incredibly ignorant and at the same time very dogmatic. I just saw a tweet saying that the Selby creature is “2-3 years older than Margaret Roberts [i.e. Margaret Thatcher] when she became an MP...”.

In fact, wrong, and on two counts. First, Margaret Roberts was born in 1925, and became an MP in 1959, shortly before her 34th birthday. She had married in 1951, so fought her first successful first election as Margaret Thatcher and not Margaret Roberts as claimed.

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

Well, there it is. Effete, epicene little “Labour MP” is going to support Starmer, Rachel Reeves etc in continuing the policy (policies?) laid down by the Con Coalition of David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, and now the Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

Anyone who thinks that Starmer-Labour will be in any way an improvement on the “Conservative” omnishambles of a Government is sadly mistaken; in fact, deluded.

Actually, listening to Keir Mather there, I think that “Lord Charles” would have sounded more credible.

[Lord Charles, with Ray Alan]

To be honest, my first thought on seeing and hearing Keir Mather is that he seemed to be in need of a good kick.

Rommel in fact died on 14 October 1944, but his death was connected with the attempted putsch on and subsequent to 20 July 1944, signalled by the attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler on the same day, 79 years ago.

The motivations of the plotters were varied and, in some cases, complex. Some (including Canaris, Rommel etc) acted at least partly out of noble motivation. Treason is often thus.

Valid points, the least valid being that of freelance scribbler and talking head, Marina Purkiss, though her comment is in tune with the attitude of many, who think that all that matters is “how people did” in life (i.e. whether they became wealthy and/or famous), and that temporary worldly “success” validates, eg, a nonsensical “degree”, and/or falling standards made “OK” by award inflation.

Incidentally, Marina Purkiss thinks that “alright” is how one spells “all right“. Her “degree” in “marketing” from the University of Portsmouth seems to have failed to correct that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Purkiss.

It may be that the time has come to revisit the whole mediaeval “degree” concept: first “degree”, “Master’s degree”, “Doctorate”, which designations align with the mediaeval guild idea— apprentice, journeyman, master craftsman (also later imported into freemasonry, of course).

Universities should promote both learning and research, and least of all be what they mostly now are, degree mills (of varying quality) where mainly young people get a piece of paper entitling them to at least try to make a living in various ways.

In the United States, they try to make people who are aiming at becoming medical doctors, or lawyers, less narrow by making them take a so-called “undergraduate degree” (lasting four years rather than the usual English three years) before even embarking on their professionally-focussed medical or legal studies.

The result of that is of doubtful utility (I having met numerous American lawyers, though not many doctors). It also means that the cost of becoming a doctor or lawyer in the USA, especially at the more prestigious institutions, is prohibitive. 7+ years of expense.

The cost, including subsistence, of going to somewhere like Harvard Medical School is at least USD $100,000 a year (about 3x an equivalent British example).

I am and always was far from being a supporter of Corbyn, but he makes some good points at times.

Liz Kendall, yet another Labour Friends of Israel MP-drone (and I think part-Jewish). Labour has nothing to say, nothing at all. Its trump card, though, is that it is not, nominally, the Conservative Party. Just that. Nothing more.

Labour MPs think that the Labour Party not being the Conservative Party (though pretty much espousing similar policies, or even the very same policies) will be enough to clinch the expected 2024 General Election. They may even be correct in that, but the fat lady has not yet sung.

They only have 2-3 months in which to make any substantial advance. After that, the snows of winter will come again.

Never mind…she is well-padded.

Prolific anti-national tweeter Matthew Sweet praises Jewish MP Nicola Richards.

Nicola Richards: prior to being selected/elected as MP at the early age of 24, Nicola Richards worked for the “Holocaust Educational Trust” and “Jewish Leadership Council”. She has been MP for West Bromwich East since 2019.

Nicola Richards succeeded “Labour” expenses cheat and freeloader Tom Watson as MP. Watson was/is, of course, a complete puppet of the Jew-Zionist lobby, apart from his other defaults.

Nicola Richards has announced that she will not be standing at the expected 2024 General Election. As a nominally “Conservative” candidate, she would have had almost no chance of re-election anyway: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bromwich_East_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

I see now that Nicola Richards was appointed PPS to Penny Mordaunt in 2022, which makes me wonder whether Ms. Mordaunt agrees with the Zionist views of Nicola Richards.

Nicola Richards was also appointed, in 2022, Co-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism.

Nicola Richards has argued for the UK to proscribe Wagner Group [PMC Wagner].

Oh well, she will be gone after the next General Election. Good,.

Incidentally, National Front executive Martin Webster stood as candidate in that constituency in February 1974, scoring 7% of the vote (placed third after Labour and Conservative). I myself met Webster a couple of times in 1975, once at the NF HQ in some featureless part of South London in or near Thornton Heath, and once at Chelsea Old Town Hall. A controversial figure; hard to read.

So, there are some things that even the chief of MI6 finds a little bit difficult to try and interpret, in terms of who’s in and who’s out.”

Thank you…

SIS/MI6: I suspect, another organization or body in the UK (along with Parliament, the police, the FCO, the Church of England, the Bar, the NHS, Oxford and Cambridge universities, the BBC, and others) living off its hump, with little real content inside the shell.

In any case, what Britain, what England is SIS/MI6, MI5, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force really trying to “defend”, these days? Look around you. The migration invasion continues, with 20% of the UK population now non-white, and with most births now being non-white. The British people have been abandoned to forces of raceless and cultureless finance-capitalist globalism.

It is inconceivable that Biden will serve another term.

I did not understand part of that, but I think that it was not polite at the end…

…and none of those 440,000 cars will be produced in the UK, USA, or EU. So tell me again— who is hurting most because of economic sanctions on Russia?

Incidentally, the car shown is a 4.4 litre engine luxury car made in Russia in small numbers (100-200 per year); the Senat, under the Aurus marque: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurus_Senat

Also someone who constantly pushes for war with Russia (and also someone who drove so fast and negligently that he ran over, and killed, a neighbour’s cat, and was then too cowardly to admit to having done so: see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11007353/Village-fury-Tory-MP-Tobias-Ellwood-runs-1-000-cat-drives-away.html).

Pedal to the metal…

My quarrel with the “intervention” in Afghanistan is not that it happened, but that the “West” (NWO/ZOG) had no intention to rule the country, nor to improve it. What the “West” should have done was to ignore all local political and paramilitary leaders, eliminate them if they refused to knuckle down, destroy all armed elements within the country (including all individuals carrying arms more than 500 yards from their own homes), then rule the country directly and, if necessary, forcefully. Allow their Islamic religion but eliminate those using it as a cloak to attack modern European-origined civilization. Educate children, including girls.

Alexander the Great took over many countries, but then also ruled them, as did, in their day, the Romans, the British and other European peoples, the Soviet Union etc.

Seizing a country is just the first step. Establishing a lasting imperium is also essential. Napoleon understood that. He remade Europe in his own preferred image.

Afghanistan was too tough a nut in the end for Alexander’s successors, for the Mughals, and also the British, but the British of the 19thC did not have helicopters and drones.

There was an attempt, in and after 1979, by Soviet forces, to rule Afghanistan, to turn it into a semi-Soviet country. That failed partly, perhaps mainly, because the USA funnelled arms, ammunition, and money to the mujaheddin (including Osama bin Laden). The Americans interfered, and without that interference, the Soviet forces may well have prevailed.

The Americans (and Brits etc), never tried to properly rule Afghanistan or found a new society there (not outside parts of Kabul, at least), and never tried to fully suppress rebellion.

This is what happens when the msm validates cretins of that sort. It emboldens them.

Jesus H. Christ! He’s getting worse…If this continues, that stupid Kamala Harris creature might actually have to take over as President. We really are in uncharted waters from that moment.
