[“Pits, dungeons and unofficial prisons are commonplace in Ukraine, and the authorities in Kiev are well aware of their existence, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik told TASS.

On Monday, Ukrainian media outlets reported that armed men were detaining about 40 people in the basement of a private house in a Kiev suburb.

TASS has summarized the key details available so far: https://vk.cc/d3xOa1“]

https://tass.com/politics/2212297

The Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian thug Kiev regime is a shambolic, corrupt, dictatorship which, without the endless billions being pumped in by the US, EU states, and the UK, would be finished within a week or two.

Ukraine, at present, is a fake state, not really a state at all.

Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

[“Tehran Threatens to Missile U.S. Bases in Europe

IRANIAN MILITARY DECLARES READINESS TO EXPAND “GEOGRAPHICAL SCOPE OF MILITARY OPERATIONS”

Around Donald Trump, three camps have formed: Vice President J.D. Vance and the Persian Gulf monarchies advocate for a deal with Iran, while Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demand a continuation of strikes. The leadership of the State Department, the Treasury Department, and the CIA call only for continued economic pressure.“]

Are the Iranians thinking of dispersing their attack-power even more?

Concentrate on Israel itself. Schwerpunkt.

Zelensky deserves what all evil tyrants deserve.

[“In Germany, the scandal involving the torture of soldiers near Kyiv has become a question for the Chancellor.

Alice Weidel, co-chair of the “Alternative for Germany” (AfD) party, has demanded that Friedrich Merz discuss the issue with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Mobilized soldiers and military personnel who had deserted their units were reportedly held in a private house used by the National Guard. Relatives have reported instances of beatings. Four soldiers with injuries were hospitalized. The National Guard denies the allegations of torture; an investigation is underway.

This issue has now become more than just an AfD agenda item. Fabio de Masi, co-chair of the “Union for Social Justice and Economic Prudence,” linked the scandal to forced mobilization and corruption. He believes that the poor are sent to the front lines, while the wealthy can buy their way out. The Berliner Zeitung published evidence of beatings and document forgery during mobilization back in January.

This is a test of consistency for Friedrich Merz. Berlin demands respect for human rights from other countries. Is he prepared to ask the same of an ally?”]

Kiev-regime Ukraine is no “ally“; it is a beggar-state, a criminal bandit fake state run by Jews and Ukrainian thugs and gangsters.

As for Merz, he is a joke, a bad German joke.

I had forgotten about his latest political adventure. I assessed him (as well as Brendan Bracken and Dominic Cummings) on the blog 7 years ago:

Les Eminences Grises…of Dystopia

An amusing spat…

Regular readers will be aware that I have been attacked and, in a word, persecuted, by the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] for about 12 years, in fact ever since the bastards started, and even before the small but (((well-funded))) organization was officially established.

At the end of this piece, I shall post again some of my own experiences with the “CAA”, and a few comments thereupon.

However, for the moment, I repost a series of tweets just noticed. The irony is that the tweets are not from those persecuted by the CAA (which would, apart from me, include singer/satirist Alison Chabloz, Jewish anti-Zionist Gilad Atzmon, celebrity intellectual dissident David Icke, and many many others), and not from other anti-Zionists or “anti-Semites” but from a Jew, indeed a Zionist Jew, who himself has been, I believe, assiduous in targeting supposed “anti-Semites” from his home in West Wales.

The tweeter in question was one of two Jewish activists (the other was from North London) who continually pressured the police in Wales until the police arrested and the CPS charged a young man (24-y-o) called David Morgan with “antisemitic” incitement.

Morgan pleaded guilty (I think mistakenly) and was shown no mercy by the System judge sitting: 20 months in prison, though I believe that Morgan may have been released recently, having served 10 months.

I think that Morgan would have been better pleading Not Guilty, and taking his chance with a Welsh jury.

So that is the background. Here are the tweets just seen:

(the word “work” appears to have been left out of that first tweet; arguably ironic, but let’s leave that aside)

Yes, I have to say that, on a dull day, it has at least marginally amused me (“delight” I shall save for yet better news).

Incidentally, I do not endorse, indeed I oppose, the street-baiting of those “black hat” (or any other) Jews, whether to get online clicks or for any other purpose. Serious socio-political activists should not behave in such a way.

Of course, honesty has never been associated with the “CAA”. Their self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”, one Stephen Silverman (I think “Slitherman” is a better name), has been making lying complaints about me (and others) for years, not least to (until recently, far too-compliant) police in various parts of the country. In 2021, Slitherman made up a completely-invented story, which he retailed to the police in Gloucestershire (where he now lives), about how I had been “racially harassing” him.

This was an out and out lie. At the time, 2021, I was unaware that Slitherman had moved from his “native” Essex to Gloucestershire, and I was unaware of his location even broadly, let alone his address (I never knew his address in South Essex, either). His location has since been broadcast on Sky News.

I was (and am) unaware of Slitherman’s telephone number, email addresses etc.

I had never seen Slitherman in person (I saw the horrible bastard for the first time when he came to gloat at my free speech trial in 2023), and had never spoken or otherwise communicated with him.

Slitherman’s complaint to the police (in Gloucestershire, but then passed to the police in Hampshire where I myself live) was not only an out and out pack of lies, but an open and shut case of both wasting police time (which the police never seemed to notice) and, more seriously yet, an attempt to pervert the course of justice, an offence which carries, upon conviction, a maximum penalty of life imprisonment and a normal sentencing range which can go as high as 7 years in prison.

The matter can be explained in more detail in the following blog posts:

When I was a victim of a malicious Zionist complaint…

That was Slitherman’s first attempt to put the manacles on me (to quote the late Sir Roger Hollis). It happened in early 2017, just after he and his “CAA” colleagues had been involved in the operation —conducted with Jews from “UK Lawyers for Israel”, some of which also belong to the “CAA”— to have me disbarred, an operation that started in 2014, and concluded in late 2016, and which I chronicled (with updates) on the blog:

The Slide of the English Bar and UK Society Continues and Accelerates

“They” like to kick people when their victims are down…look at what has been happening in Gaza for 3 years now.

So what about Slitherman’s attempt to pervert the course of justice (on that occasion)? It happened in 2021 and I blogged about it in 2022:

Diary Blog, 15 January 2022, including an outline of the failure of the latest Jew-Zionist attempt to prosecute me

Despite the tame police doing whatever the “CAA” wanted, the CPS decided not to prosecute me, on that occasion, but the “CAA” and their non-Jew doormats in the political world eventually got me into the dock in 2023 (Slitherman turned up to gloat):

Diary Blog, 16 March 2024, including an account of my recent free speech trial and sentencing

…and he turned up to gloat again at the sentencing hearing in March 2024 (but scuttled off very quickly once he realized that I would not be getting imprisoned, or even a suspended sentence, nor even a week or two of unpaid litter-picking):

Diary Blog, 17 March 2024, including the aftermath of my sentencing hearing

Leaving aside my own experiences for a moment, the “CAA” (i.e. Slitherman and his colleague Gideon Falter (self-styled chief of the tiny “CAA” apparat) have had “trouble” having their testimony, even their sworn testimony, believed by judges and others.

Falter, of course, made up a pack of lies about being harassed in the street by the Metropolitan Police a few years ago. The “CAA” wanted to get rid of the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police (he’s still there, as far as I know).

Even before that, before the “CAA” was even set up, Falter was disbelieved by a judge in relation to his attempt to have a Foreign Office diplomat, Rowan Laxton, convicted of making comments of an “incitement to racial hatred” “antisemitic” nature. Falter was just not believed, despite having sworn on oath. Laxton is still at the Foreign Office, and now holds ambassadorial rank.

As a matter of fact, both “antisemitism” as such, and “holocaust denial” (historical revision in relation to supposed events of the early 1940s), are neither of them crimes under English law, a fact repeatedly confirmed by English judges in English courts.

Even Jews, indeed even Zionist pro-Israel Jews, have over the years realized that the “CAA” and its leading lights are a pack of liars. Incidentally, I should be interested to know what, if any, salary Slitherman gets. It is certainly a full-time occupation for him, and a year or so ago, wealthy Jews gave the “CAA” £600,000+.

He is also sometimes (though not as often as a few years ago) on Sky News, and even BBC News, and much more often on the joke pro-Israel news outlets, GB News and Talk TV. The fact that Slitherman was once a notorious Twitter troll using the pseudonym “Bedlam Jones”, and harassing mainly women online, does not seem to have made him unwelcome as supposed “expert” talking-head on “antisemitism”.

When will this poor country really start to wake up?

Finally, I had to laugh at the “CAA” tweeting today about how their lawyers might take on, in legal battle, the Good Law Project, which is going to apply for judicial review about the Labour Friends of Israel-instigated idea of censoring anti-Israel discussion in schools and universities.

I have little time for self-important Jolyon Maugham and his Good Law Project, and actually the “CAA” for once made a good point in their tweet about how the “GLP” is, in effect, a machine for collecting donations from mugs, but of course people in glass houses should not throw stones. The “CAA” has been collecting millions over the past 12 years from wealthy Jewish mugs, and for the same reason.

Finally finally, here is that news report about David Morgan, the young man imprisoned for posting some tweets:

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/twisted-welsh-loner-able-spread-32962872

I wonder whether I should, even at this late juncture, make my own complaint, this time against Slitherman, and on the basis of his unquestioned attempt to pervert the course of justice in 2021-2022. Let’s see. In theory, there is no time limitation (though there is for “wasting police time”— 6 months from date of offence).

Ah…look at what someone posted only a day ago about “Slitherman”:

GB News and Talk TV should wake up, no matter who owns them…

Incidentally, Slitherman is lying again in that piece about “the Big Lie”. Hitler was talking (writing) about the System he opposed (the Weimar Republic, largely influenced by Jewish interests) and its methods. They were the ones using the “Big Lie”, not Hitler himself.

Ironic…

Just saw more on the basis for the initial tweets seen:

[“Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.

Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.

To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.

The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.

And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.

We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.

Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.

They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.

One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.”]

That, if it were to happen, would let the genie out of the bottle.

Since 1945, the use of nuclear weapons has been a consensus taboo. If the Americans attack Iran with nuclear weapons, they can hardly then censure others doing the same. For example, if Russia uses tactical nuclear weapons to clear the crumbling Kiev-regime front-line, destroying a large part of the most active Kiev-regime forces, and so allowing the Stavka to order a general advance, perhaps including air drops north and west of the existing overall front-line.

That would benefit all sides, unbelievably. Russia would get paid for its gas, and the consumers of the EU would benefit from lower prices, but even the Kiev regime would benefit, because its EU bankrollers would have more funds to funnel to Kiev. Strange world…

The UK should be getting reparations from Jamaica etc for our having to have put up with the “Windrush generation” and those who came later, and their descendants.

Late tweets

The Kiev regime is a total disgrace. It should cease to exist.

Another interesting “Matt and Julia” vlog about “the real Iran” (and a few memories of my own)

Persian food can be very nice indeed. I often recall the food prepared by a Persian lady in London, cooked as a kindness for a friend of mine (and hers), an aristocratic lady from East Prussia displaced by both the Second World War and the decolonizing nonsense in the East Africa of the 1950s.

That Persian food was sent across the road, via one of the Persian lady’s adult sons, packed in takeaway-type foil containers. Fantastic stuff.

As to those Persians, they had a lucky escape. The father of the family had been an MP in Iran, was I think strongly connected to the Shah, and had been hanged after the Shah had been deposed. The family lost pretty much everything in Iran, but the lady herself was allowed to leave thanks to some kind of family influence. Fortunately, her two sons were both students at Imperial College in London. A flat in Little Venice had been bought as somewhere for them to live while studying. That became the home for the three of them and their little cat.

Of course, a mansion flat in Little Venice is hardly poverty (the pop group, Bros, were their nearest neighbours), but back in Iran they had had rural estates (near Shiraz, I think) and numbers of servants.

Nice people. They thought that my German friend, by then in her 60s, ate too little, and should be encouraged to eat. They were right: my old friend could not cook, and tended to subsist on bread (she liked, ironically, a Jewish bread with caraway seeds, bought locally), eaten with butter and a lot of salt, and washed down with lemon tea or sparkling water.

I still remember how nice the Persian food, cooked by that Persian lady, was. My friend used to share it with me, if I were around when it was delivered.

Small world: I was dining at the Persians’ one evening, for the first and last time in fact, in company with both my
German friend and her young (20-something) step-grand-daughter, when the subject of the contemporaneous Darius Guppy trial came up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_Guppy]. The Persian family had known Guppy as a small boy, Guppy being half-Persian; the Persian lady referred to him as having been “a nice boy”.

Many years later, about 24 years in fact, in 2017, I gave a half-hour political-legal talk at the then-popular London Forum. Afterwards, who should come to to me and introduce himself but Darius Guppy. A personable fellow, who had the interesting knack of being able to appear as if from nowhere, then later disappear the same way…

I did not of course refer to his 1993 trial and imprisonment, but I did tell him about the Persians with whom I had been acquainted and who knew Guppy through having known his mother, a folk singer who was involved with a film that won an Oscar; I once owned one of her albums. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shusha_Guppy.

I mentioned to Guppy that, as an Amazon Top 50 reviewer, I had once reviewed his interesting memoirs, Roll the Dice, on Amazon (that being before the Jew-Zionist lobby had my very popular reviews expunged).

Guppy is or was a great friend of “Boris-idiot” (Boris Johnson), via their Eton and Oxford days.

As said, small world.

Holborn and St. Pancras by-election

A lot of chatter about this on Twitter/X and in the mainstream media. In fact, Labour were always likely to win it. Labour has held the seat since its creation in 1983, and the Labour vote has never dropped below 43.2% (in 2005); the peak was 70.1% in 2017, when Starmer was the candidate but (ironically) Corbyn was Labour leader. Starmer’s vote in 2024 was 48.9%. Yesterday’s Labour vote was 45.2%.

The nearest any challenging party has come to beating Labour there, until yesterday, was in the 1987 General Election, when the Conservative Party managed 31.1%.

On that basis, the Green Party 32.8% yesterday was a fairly good result, in fact, particularly in view of the fact that they only scored 10.4% in 2024.

The British nationalist parties never stood a chance. The non-white electorate in the constituency is about half of the total, and the official “white British” electorate no more than a third.

To stand in a by-election where you know that you are going to get less than 10% (or 5%) of the vote is utterly stupid, and gives the impression that you are a fringe or crank party.

Had I been the leader of any of those (conservative) “nationalist” parties, I should have boycotted the by-election and made known the reason why. In fact, that by-election is a laboratory test-tube showing why, as time goes by, there can be no serious electoral road for the (real) British people. The importation of tens of millions of non-whites has, in effect, killed not only free speech but also any (worthwhile) democracy in this country.

The main conservative-national parties standing scored only 5.9% (Reform) and 2.5% (Restore). The reason, I think, is that most of the white/English/British voted with their feet and boycotted this farce and circus of a by-election. Turnout was a fairly pitiful 38.8%, not that much more than a third of voters bothering to vote.

The Conservative Party vote was poor, about the same as in 2024 (around 7%). As recently as 2019, and previously, the Conservative vote was always in double figures in that constituency, and has been almost 30% further back in time.

Well, there it is. “Democracy” has spoken (we are told). The inhabitants of Holborn and St. Pancras now have an MP who is an ignorant Somali woman of some kind.

Cruel and unusual punishments

The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which Amendment was adopted in 1791, forbids “cruel and unusual punishments“. Like much of their Constitution, in practice it is a bad joke. Death by every slow and/or painful method: slow gassing, the electric chair (which can take 6 minutes of being, in effect, fried alive), and now the medicalization of capital punishment via the use of a series or cocktail of drugs, which sounds painless but is anything but. The latest ghastly farce in the USA just proves the point yet again.

I do not know why, if the Americans insist on retaining the death penalty, they do not simply give the convict a massive dose of morphine. I am not a medical man, but surely that would do the job quickly and painlessly? Maybe the American public, or many of them, would find that too painless and swift? Or is my medical knowledge incorrect? I cannot say for sure.

Of course, the Americans also use other punishments or methods not used in (?) other civilized states (shackling in transit etc).

I have seen a whole group of shackled prisoners in a Federal court building in the USA. All black. According to the F.B.I. agent standing with me, all murderers, and all lifers. A very sombre scene. All other people in the wide hallway stopped as the group, all handcuffed, all hobbled, all shackled in line together, passed through in total silence. As said, very sombre, and very sinister.

Speaking personally, I was always against the death penalty, and to some extent still am, but I see so many reports now in the UK of horrible murders and also rapes etc, that I think there may be a case for bringing back that penalty for some murders and other crimes, depending on the nature and quality of the defendants as well as the crimes. At least for a period of time. If so, using some quick method, possibly sometimes in public.

I notice that, in Belarus, a father who (with his equally wicked wife) starved, tortured, and finally killed his own 3-y-o son, was sentenced to death, which has been carried out in the manner prescribed by their law— Soviet-style, a bullet in the back of the head. The woman involved was sentenced to 25 years (probably without parole); apparently Belarus, like Texas long ago, never executes women.

What is more brutal, that Belorussian bullet, or what happens in the USA? Were I unfortunate enough to be in such a position, I should guess the American method(s), and so (if given the choice) might prefer the Soviet way of doing things…

I have only known one person, I think, who actually witnessed (at the scene, not on TV or online) an execution in the judicial sense. That execution was swift, consisting of a sword stroke cutting off the head in a split-second, and was carried out in public, in 1960s Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

[“A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

This is her story of giving gratitude.
A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition.
One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.

They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.

The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

May you be so fortunate …
To be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.

And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.“]

Our animal friends.

As previously blogged, nothing Trump says or does can be taken at face value. His remarks and actions usually have a “shelf-life” of a day; a week at best.

Fake “socialist” scribbler and “I’m from the North-East, me..” poseur Kevin Maguire (house in Richmond-on-Thames, holiday home in Devon, affluent wife etc) is one of the worst influences on current-affairs TV. Pro-migration invasion, anti-white European race and culture.

The question is not whether migration invasion will collapse our society, but when, and what will then ensue.

Actually, that anti-white Indian tweeter is wrong too: “asylum-seekers” (migrant-invaders) are not “demonized” for failing to work, but for coming here (uninvited) and staying here (also uninvited and unwanted).

(Many, probably most, though, are parasites, and always would be).

According to Military Watch Magazine, the Dutch Ministry of Defense has concluded that military assistance to Kyiv is undermining the combat readiness of the Dutch armed forces and making it more difficult for the country to fulfill its NATO obligations.

The ministry has declined to publicly disclose which NATO targets have been postponed or affected, or to provide details on the current combat readiness of individual Dutch military units. The admission highlights the growing tension between supplying Ukraine with military equipment and maintaining national reserves at levels considered necessary for a major conflict.

According to the ministry, by February 2026, the Netherlands will have provided Ukraine with approximately €11.7 billion in military assistance. The publication also claims that weapons stockpiles across NATO’s European members have been severely depleted, with shortages particularly affecting artillery ammunition, air-defense missiles, anti-tank weapons, and armored vehicles.

Europe is discovering the hard way that weapons sent abroad don’t magically regenerate back home. The bill for rebuilding those stockpiles could be just as serious as the bill for the aid itself.“]

[“Researchers at Stanford University say that, contrary to claims and expectations from the U.S. government and major business leaders, their independent analysis indicates that China could soon catch up with—and potentially surpass—the United States in the development of advanced artificial intelligence models.

The researchers argue that the gap between the two countries is narrowing rapidly, challenging the assumption that the United States will maintain a lasting lead in the global AI race.

The AI race is starting to look less like a marathon and more like a photo finish—with China closing the gap fast.“]

That is, I think, a signal that, should the European states get into a direct war situation with Russia, those European states will not be able to rely on American back-up.

She herself is neither English (that’s unarguable) nor, in any real sense, British. Her parents deliberately came to London for a few weeks so that she could be born in the UK and, as the law was in 1981, then be entitled later on to a British passport (that bad law was changed in 1982, so she only just scraped in before the portcullis was lowered). She then lived in Nigeria and the USA until she was 16 or 17. She is no more British than I am Nigerian.

Her children (who are of mixed-race) likewise.

That is a small taste of what the British people have coming down the tracks at them unless a social-national government, or one very similar, does not seize power pretty soon.

As already blogged…

Having said that, and incidentally, that AI-produced (?) picture of Kemi Badenoch in her supposed ancestral type of dress makes her look a lot better than usual. I have noticed in the past that black women usually look much better in that kind of colourful get-up.

Seems an underestimate anyway. Of course, the “small boat” arrivals are only ~5% of the whole migration invasion. Multiply those figures by about 20, and you get a better idea. Half a million to a million. Every single year.

Our society is already showing stress; by 2030, it may be showing clear signs of terminal stress.

Interesting. Had never seen, nor heard of, that.

Must add up to a massive amount. When I was a barrister, I drafted, at times, contracts for the transhipment of oil from the Middle East to black Africa. Each shipment was worth over USD $80M, and that was over 20 years ago. So maybe USD $150M today. If Iran is getting 20% of the value of every shipload, each one is worth perhaps USD $30M in “transit fees” to Iran. There might be several in a day even under present conditions.

[“Leonkov: Great Britain is gradually getting drawn into a direct conflict with Russia.

IF THERE IS A MAJOR ESCALATION, THE FIRST TARGETS WILL BE BRITISH FACTORIES THAT PRODUCE DRONES AND ROCKETS FOR KYIV.

Boris Johnson, who just the other day claimed he hadn’t started a war, has returned to his old tune: “We must continue bombing Russian oil refineries and power plants. Ukraine is on the verge of victory. Don’t slow down the sale of weapons (to Kyiv).“

Only three countries still believe that Ukraine is capable of confronting Russia: Great Britain, France, and Germany. However, even within those countries, voices are being heard that the conflict, in which Zelensky must remain in power until 2028, is costing them too much.

According to Western estimates, Ukrainian armed forces’ air strikes on Russia in July alone cost them $11 billion. Zelensky is spending a lot of money on these attacks, but his Western sponsors are not satisfied with the results. Everyone understands that Ukraine is losing.”]

There is no way of either proving or disproving my belief that “Boris” Johnson is getting paid large amounts offshore by the Kiev regime and (ipso facto) its backers (to promote the regime by promoting the Western support for it). It stacks up quite well logically, though, knowing what we know of the Kiev regime, its leading members, and the character of Johnson himself.

Diary Blog, 7 October 2025, with thoughts about Gaza, the proscription of Palestine Action, and the Jewish/Israeli influence on the Starmer misgovernment

Historical video

Thanks to the blog reader who sent me the YouTube video below:

Talking point

I see that the Jewish lobby is loudly whining and wailing today about the Jews killed on this day 3 years ago in Gaza.

Well, I concede that the incursion into “Israel” from Gaza should not have happened in quite the manner it did, and that some of the acts done by HAMAS were incorrect and insupportable, but the response of the Israeli Jewish state has been brutal, inhumane (indeed, inhuman), and as close to genocide as makes no real difference.

Almost complete devastation of Gaza, most homes destroyed, hundreds of thousands killed or injured, many injured very badly (loss of limbs etc), and most of those killed or injured women and children.

It seems that many of the Jews killed three years ago were killed (via free-fire protocols) by the Israeli forces themselves. The total Jewish death toll was somewhere around 1,000, a tiny fraction of the number of Gazans killed and wounded in vindictive retaliation by the (Israeli) Jews (egged on by many Jews living overseas, including in the UK).

One has to ask, when on Earth will the Jews (of Israel, and those supporting the slaughter and cruelty from overseas) have had enough blood (in Gaza)?

I find it curious that the Russian missile and drone strikes take place mainly after dark. I should have thought that during the day would be better tactics, in order to cause far more chaos and disruption to transport and to economic life etc. It may be that countermeasures are more effective during daylight hours; I do not know.

[“Royal Mail has announced plans to cut up to 2,500 jobs by the end of 2027.

When billionaire Daniel Křetínský’s takeover was approved in December 2024, the government presented the deal as one that would help “secure jobs”, while Jonathan Reynolds said: “We have negotiated something that secures the long-term future of Royal Mail.”

Less than two years later, thousands of jobs are set to disappear.

Britain has spent decades selling off essential national infrastructure on the promise that private ownership would make it leaner, cheaper and better. Too often the result has been the opposite: jobs cut, services hollowed out, prices pushed up and private owners protected, while the public is left carrying the risk when the model fails. Royal Mail is starting to look like another example of the same failed experiment.“]

They really are a disgusting tribe.

As far as I am concerned, there is no decent party or, as far as I know, candidate, standing.

The Greens are up against it, now that Galloway is standing. Splits the avowedly anti-Zionist vote.

Last poll I saw had the Cons on 17% nationwide. Would mean they might get as few as 50 MPs, less than half even compared to their present depleted complement.

Looks as though the NWO/ZOG cabals have decided on nuclear war with Russia.

The question is not if, but when…

Alternatively, “local man [did whatever]”…

No decisive lead, though. That poll translates to a Commons with about 308 Labour MPs (18 short of an official majority), 150 Reform (official Opposition), Cons 83, LibDems 52, SNP 27 [etc]. Not completely reliable; Restore, though only on 3%, may cost Reform a few seats here and there.

Still, looks like a Labour minority government, governing with the help of MP votes of the LibDems and/or SNP.

A weak System government of that sort might be the best for the growth of real social-national politics (not the Reform/Restore “controlled opposition” sort).

Reform looks less and less electable now: pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, promoting what amount to Daily Mail-conservative social and economic policies, and with a large number of non-white candidates and officials.

Were (as I think not unlikely) the Con Party to decline from 17% to 12% by the time of a general election, and Reform to go from 22% to maybe 26%, almost matching Labour, Reform would probably get more seats than Labour (both around 250-260), and the Cons only about 8 MPs. However, a similar overall result in that Labour would be governing as a very weak minority government, needing about 75-80 extra votes to get anything passed. The LibDems, SNP, and maybe Greens (etc) would be able to write their own ticket in those circumstances.

That is only the tip of the iceberg. There are now vast numbers of blacks and browns born in the UK, and breeding. Indeed, there are now huge numbers of 2nd, 3rd, even 4th-generation non-whites here.

These facts have been repeatedly published on the blog in response to the attempts by treacherous ministers, MPs, scribblers, talking heads etc to “gaslight” the British people.

The real proportion of the population of the UK that is not really British (i.e. “white”) is not known exactly, but is probably no more than 75%, and in the English towns and cities no more than 60%.

If the police act as the goon squad for migration-invasion and the forces repressing protest and free speech, then they make themselves also enemy forces.

Rioters of that sort in France should be shot down in the street, no matter their age or condition. If a teenager is old enough to use a flamethrower or a bomb or a pistol, he (or she) is old enough to be fired upon, or indeed executed in the field, if captured.

Incidentally, that does not apply to the recent so-called “riots” in England, because they were mere noisy protests, and all that the most rowdy protesters did was throw plastic bottles —not even glass ones— towards the police, or set fire to the odd rubbish bin. Most just pushed the bins, not on fire, towards the police ranks.

Not the same situation as in France.

…and yet, referencing Lenin, “worse will be better“, in that I myself have been attacked, criticized and (until 2018, when a pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter) “trolled” by often anonymous or pseudonymous individuals (pretty obviously, from the context, mostly Jews). Well, perhaps now it will be possible to discover the true names etc of some of those individuals. Justice can then take its course, sooner or later. To each his own. Jedem das Seine.

I have always stood up for my views, and for European race and culture, under my own name, and not infrequently alone, without support.

In Court too, I stood alone, with neither solicitor nor Counsel, nor supporters in the public gallery. Difficult, but at least Nietzschean…

[“Merz traveled to Kyiv to demonstrate courage. Meanwhile, Germany is getting used to the idea of war.

Judging by the priorities being set, the German Chancellor is more concerned with preparing for a major war than with domestic problems, despite the fact that even German intelligence does not see any imminent signs of it. Berlin wants to increase the Bundeswehr to 260,000 soldiers and the reserve to 200,000, and has already launched a new system of military service. In September, in Hamburg, the military, along with the police, firefighters, the port, and private companies, practiced the deployment of forces to the eastern flank of NATO. And the medical planning is based on the possibility of receiving several hundred to a thousand wounded per day in Germany; civilian medical institutions are already involved in the relevant exercises.

And in a public and political sense, this is already more of an ideological preparation than a military one. Germans are being accustomed to a simple picture: troops are going east, hospitals are waiting for hundreds of wounded, intelligence is talking about a “shadow war,” and any hesitation by Berlin is supposedly only inviting Moscow to increase pressure. This is how the image of an enemy is being created in the best traditions of the Cold War. However, back then, a real threat really existed. Now, this is a universal justification for another round of militarization.

Against this backdrop, Merz’s recent trip to Kyiv is particularly noteworthy. On October 4, the German Chancellor arrived in the Ukrainian capital along with the Minister of Economy and a business delegation, just as Russia intensified its attacks on the city’s infrastructure. Throughout the day, sirens sounded and explosions were heard, and the North Bridge across the Dnieper was damaged. The much-desired guest announced the provision of another €1 billion in military aid and €350 million for Ukrainian energy.

In Kyiv, the trip was called a “signal of courage,” and the Chancellor himself said that Germany “will not allow itself to be intimidated.” It is easy to create a beautiful story: Merz came to Kyiv almost deliberately to defy Putin and showed Moscow that she is not afraid of it. However, a politician in such a high position is not a blogger who is allowed to risk their own life for the sake of content. He manages the largest economy in Europe. If the head of government deliberately increases their personal risk for a political gesture, this is not a question of courage, but of responsibility to their own citizens.

Moreover, there is plenty to deal with at home. In September, inflation in Germany reached 3.3% – the highest level in almost three years, energy prices rose by 14.9%, and the number of unemployed, adjusted for seasonal factors, again exceeded 3 million. Industrial orders fell by 10.6% in August, mainly due to large contracts; Reuters notes a decline in the automotive industry and a high level of bankruptcies. And yet, it turns out that the Ukrainian conflict is more important to Merz today than the everyday lives of Germans.

It’s a convenient circle. The more Germany gets involved in the Ukrainian conflict, the more the authorities explain to Germans that Russia is becoming more dangerous. And the more dangerous Russia appears to be, the easier it is to intimidate its own society and convince it that spending billions on preparing for war is not a political choice, but the only possible reality.

By Timofey Belov.”]

This is absurd. That Sinkevicius fellow must either be stupid or corrupt. Lithuania, though —just— the biggest of the three Baltic states or pribaltika, is considerably smaller than Scotland. Lithuania as a state is mad to invite even conventional, let alone nuclear, attack.

Spectacular.

Incidentally, were the North African coast as a whole to be under European rule, what a fantastic littoral that would make. It would put to shame the Cote d’Azur and Italian Riviera, if developed well.

Anecdotal evidence: I own a car that runs off diesel fuel. Today, the tank being only about 5% full, I filled the tank at a supermarket filling station, i.e. the cheapest option. Just under £112! A full tank therefore would cost around £118. Appalling. Thank God I rarely do more than 80 miles a week these days.

[“The Swedish Institute for Migration Studies (IFR) has published a forecast: in 20 years, Swedes will become a minority in their own country.

Currently, migrants make up 36.8% of the population. Models based on data from 14 EU countries most open to migration show that Sweden will be the first country where the native population will become a minority. Belgium will follow in 2044, Germany in 2045, and Austria in 2052. Between 2050 and 2060, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Ireland, and other countries will also lose their majority.“]

More “holocaust” fakery exposed

“When Zack Polanski told the heart-rending tale of his ancestors fleeing the Nazis, it earned him applause at last year’s Green Party conference.

But the Holocaust story has raised questions after family history research found his grandparents were all born in Britain long before the Second World War.

On Thursday, Mr Polanski did nothing to clear up the mystery when the Greens declined to answer a request to explain the powerful yet puzzling line in his keynote speech.“

“English” (or Japanese, or Chinese, or whatever) is not a mere label, which an individual can stick on themselves and claim to be properly descriptive.

I was born in England of two English parents (and am believed —plausibly but not definitely— to have one German great-grandfather). I am, and have every right to call myself, English.

My wife is English, born of two English parents (one Norwegian grandparent). She was, however, born in the 1950s in the then Tanganyika (now Tanzania), which at the time was a British colony. She came to the UK (to live) aged 14. That does not make her “Tanzanian”, or African!

If someone black or brown is born in the UK, in England, that person is not English or even (passport notwithstanding) British. The person concerned is not English/British but something else, even if born/brought up etc in the UK. Someone such as Kemi Badenoch, who was born in London of 1981 of two Nigerian parents (while they were on a flying visit to make sure that she was born in the UK, which fact —at the time— gave her, under English law, the right to a British passport later in life).

Kemi Badenoch is not English and, in real terms (despite having that “scammed” passport), is not British either.

Kemi Badenoch in fact only came to (or came back to) the UK aged 16-17. She was not even brought up here, and her attitudes are foreign, not that that in itself is determinative.

It would be absurd for me to say “I am Chinese“, even if living in China and having lived there my whole life, even if born there; indeed, even had I a Chinese passport.

Logic alone makes the case, but many of our treacherous scribblers, TV/radio talking heads, and MPs, wilfully refuse to see it.

As far as I am concerned, the BBC, if it is to be allowed to survive, must go back to its original Reithian principles: “Inform, Educate, Entertain“, and in that order. In fact, and in view of the multiplicity of other platforms now in existence, the entertainment part might as well be dropped, leaving the BBC with a mission to both inform and entertain. The devil is in the detail, though; at present, the BBC often misinforms, and ill-educates…

Translates to a Commons with about 228 Reform MPs (potentially fewer, by reason of Restore, though Restore is itself on a mere 3%; the model I use has not yet added Restore).

So anyway Reform 98 short of a majority. 217 Labour MPs, 71 LibDems, 69 Cons (so near-irrelevant; unable even to make an arrangement with Reform). SNP 30 [etc].

A weak minority government at best. Might lead to a second election not long after. Good, though, for social-nationalism.

I blogged about all that yesterday. Flagging the removal of the Triple Lock will mean almost all pensioners who might have voted Labour (a smallish minority anyway) will not now vote Labour.

As a personality, Burnham is, arguably, marginally or even somewhat to be preferred to Starmer-stein, but Burnham seems equally clueless.

The report comes amid continued fighting and Kyiv’s ongoing appeals to Western allies for **more funding and air-defense missiles**.

[“Nigel Farage and I have been referenced in a “hate crime conference” for police officers, which took issue with people questioning the hate marches and the extent of Muslim integration in Britain, the Telegraph reports. Specifically, the Muslim speaker criticised the fact that I dared to share a survey on @GBNEWS showing large numbers of British people question whether Islam really is compatible with British life. Apparently, that is not allowed. Sorry, but this is what we in the West call “free speech”, “free expression”, and “debate”. While Andy Burnham’s Labour is fast-tracking Orwellian measures to shut down these debates, those of us in the Common Sense Majority will never stop having them. And why is the increasingly woke police being given openly biased training sessions like this?

Tell you what. I would happily come along to the “York and North Yorkshire Hate Conference” to share my views and provide a bit of balance. If the organisers are reading, send me a note.“]

The police have been behaving like compliant brainwashed clowns for the past 20+ years. They roll up to “conferences” of that sort, and allow themselves to be ranted at, either by Islamists, or by non-white “multikultis”, or by malicious Jews of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” type (despite the fact that the main personalities of the “CAA” are proven liars and perjurers).

The police as a poundshop Stasi. It has to stop. Get them back doing their proper job(s).

It is in the interest of the police themselves to stop. if not, then when push comes to shove they will share the fate of Britain’s treacherous MPs, scribblers, talking heads, and other riff-raff.

Late tweets

What Burnham and Labour have failed to understand is that, yes, maybe “only” 28% of voters oppose dumping the Triple Lock, but almost all of those are people over 60 y-o.

About a third of the electorate (not the whole population 0-100) is now aged 65+; probably 40% or more are aged 60+. In other words, it can be inferred that a very high percentage of those aged 60+, and almost all of those aged 65+, oppose dumping the Triple Lock. These are the people who always vote (admittedly, I myself am an exception). If 28% of eligible voters are against dumping the Triple Lock, then probably about 40% of voters who are actually going to vote oppose these proposals.

I think that Labour will find that much of their support among the over 60s, maybe also over-50s, will fall away now. Why? Because those getting or about to get the State Pension are really interested in what happens to the Triple Lock, whereas younger people, whatever their views, are naturally not going to be so interested, so their approval of Burnham’s plans is not very important politically, electorally; they have other issues of importance to them.

One point to bear in mind is that the official inflation figures do not reflect the real state of play. Inflation is usually far higher than the official figures suggest, and that particularly applies to the staples that poorer people, and many pensioners in particular, buy regularly.

That last tweeter may be unable to spell but, of course, is correct. Money taken from pensioners will go to, inter alia, “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev), importing and then sheltering and feeding millions of useless black/brown parasites, supporting the USA’s overseas adventures, and then on a myriad projects most of which will not benefit either older or younger (real) British people.

The Burnham cretin has presumably not considered the matter in sufficient detail.

[“NEWS: The Islamist organisation 5 Pillars has reported John Cleese to the Prevent Programme after John made factual, accurate and valid statements about Islam

John’s statements on Islam:

“To criticise a culture whose holy book advocates the killing of all the people they disagree with…is not racist. It’s culturalist.”

“traditional British values are under attack from Muslim belief systems, especially the Koranic demands to kill ‘infidels’.”

“I personally prefer a culture that does not approve of Female Genital Mutilation, Child Marriage and Killing Infidels.”

“Another religious diktat from the Pro-Paedophila Propaganda Department.”

5 Pillars are a vile organisation who should not exist in the UK

We value freedom of speech and expression especially when it comes to criticising ideologies or religions.“]

In fact, John Cleese need not worry about being arrested. If the initial referral to Prevent is then passed to police, and if that initial screening reveals no security threat or “danger of radicalization” (i.e. which might lead to “terrorist” activity), the police close the file, though in some cases may refer the matter to mental health services to to the so-called “Channel” multi-agency outfit.

Cleese can carry on carrying on, in short.

Unusual. Most of the anti-free-speech pressure in the UK comes from the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel lobby. 95%.

I blogged long ago, in 2018, about the stupid “Prevent”/”Channel” nonsense:

One Man’s “Extremism” is Another Man’s Struggle for Liberty and Justice

If John Cleese is really taken by surprise by that, he must have been asleep for the past 25 years.

True, but don’t just tell the Muslims— tell the Jewish lobby too.

True.

Also true.

The “traveller” disease

https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/26581543.two-donkeys-drugs-counterfeit-cash-seized-selby-area

“Two donkeys, Class A drugs and counterfeit cash have been seized as part of a major police operation in North Yorkshire.

Police carried out an animal welfare warrant alongside the RSPCA, North Yorkshire Council and Trading Standards, where two donkeys were seized over concerns about unnecessary suffering.

The donkeys were found among other animals, and the site was also issued a number of animal welfare notices.

North Yorkshire Police said: “Officers and partners also identified suspected illegal puppy breeding, which is now subject to further investigation and enforcement activity.”

In Selby, officers executed a drugs warrant where a quantity of Class A drugs and counterfeit cash were found.

One person was arrested as part of this investigation, police confirmed.

Meanwhile, officers working with the DVSA filed 14 Traffic Offence Reports in Escrick – one of which involved a vehicle being seized for being driven with no tax and another seized for no insurance.”

[York Press]

The words “traveller”, or “Irish tinker” are nowhere to be seen in that news report. Self-censorship.

The huge nuisance of the so-called “travellers” has to be addressed as a matter of urgency once Britain has a real government, one that cares about the British people, the environment, animals, and birds.

One —yes, admittedly, very unpleasant— day, and the whole problem would be solved forever.

According to Wikipedia, it now has a notional membership of 6,000, of which the core membership is about 2,000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK). I believe that the membership was at one time (1970s) rather higher in number.

The “SWP”, as mentioned, has been a fringe or crank party for about 76 years, under a few names (as “SWP” since 1977). You would think that, after 76 years, its adherents would by now understand that they are going nowhere. I suppose that, as implied, the members are not the most intelligent or mentally balanced in the political realm.

I see now from Wikipedia that Gluckstein/”Cliff” went up the chimney in 2000, and that others are now in charge of the splintered SWP.

The most recent “leader” of the SWP seems to have been “Comrade Delta”, aka one Martin Smith, who however was removed after he allegedly committed rape and sexual assault against members. The other “leader” noted by Wikipedia is one Alex Callinicos, of partly (Southern African) Greek origin, and who is now 76: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Callinicos. Surprisingly, Callinicos is descended from (is the grandson of) the famous Lord Acton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dalberg-Acton,_1st_Baron_Acton.

In the manner of, as already noted, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, or Salvation Army bands at Christmas-time, the SWP’s presence (being noisy and objectionable) at by-elections seems to be unavoidable.

Incidentally, but interestingly, the Callinicos person is related, via his grandfather Lord Acton, to the Austro-German (though also part-Jew) nationalist Count Arco auf Valley [1897-1945] who assassinated the Jew Kurt Eisner, the revolutionary socialist who became President of the short-lived People’s State of Bavaria (November 1918-February 1919).

Looking at a longer version of that clip, it seemed to me that the political cretins of the SWP today are in every respect indistinguishable from those of several decades ago. They look the same, have the same or virtually the same placards, shout out the same tired “antifascist”/”antiracist” slogans. Nothing has changed…except the whole world and society around them. They should be in a museum (perhaps with the advances in robotics and AI, they eventually will be).

Ha ha! Deport Tugendhat to his beloved Israel. He has relatives there…

More seriously, the “Conservative” Party must be getting really desperate now. Latest poll had them on 17%, and personally I should not be surprised if they get only 15%, maybe even as low as 10%, should the next general election only be held in 2028 or 2029.

Much more difficult in a relatively small and crowded country such as Britain. Still, on the right road, I think. I have blogged a bit about “prepping” in the British/European context (as distinct from North America, Australasia etc). Use the search box on the blog.

Starmer-stein’s mandate, as Prime Minister, was very doubtful: in 2024, in rough terms, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not actually vote, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Con, 2 voted Reform, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. Labour was voted for by 4 out of 20 eligible voters (4 out of 12 actually-voting voters).

Burnham has merely inherited Starmer-stein’s purple (via the equivalent of a palace revoilution) and, naturally (in political reality, if not in strict British Constitutional terms), has far less of a mandate than Starmer-stein. He has no programme beyond that of trying to please as many likely or potential voters as possible. He is totally out of his depth in every way.

Salutary tale

“It is a familiar political story in a place that became infamous almost 40 years ago, when many of its residents voted to reject the arrival of refugees, in a referendum that sent shockwaves across Sweden and Europe.

In 1987, Sweden adopted a new strategy to distribute refugees more evenly across the country, and asked Sjobo, then a town of around 15,400, to take in around 15 people.

‘Anyone can understand that the next generation of Swedes will no longer be blonde and blue-eyed,’ Sven-Olle Olsson, a municipal councillor who was vehemently opposed, said at the time. He organised a referendum on the issue.

The ‘No’ side won the referendum with almost 68 per cent of votes, triggering a political storm in the country.

There are parallels to be drawn from the case in the recent ‘independence’ referendum held in the British village of Piddington in a symbolic protest against plans to accommodate 1,250 asylum seekers in a nearby military site.

Things have changed ‘enormously’ in Sjobo since 1988, according to Ms Ramel, now a municipal councillor herself who is trying to change Sjobo’s image.

She said the municipality now fulfils its requirements by welcoming new arrivals, even taking in more than some other towns in the region.

The anti-migration Sweden Democrats emerged from the election as Sweden’s third-largest party, after winning 62 seats in the 349-member parliament. 

The party won 43 per cent of votes in Sjobo in the 2022 general election, still enjoying strong support in the southern town known for its contentious September 1988 referendum.

That support remained strong in this month’s election, with the Sweden Democrats taking more than a third of the vote in several of Sjobo’s polling districts.

The party won 38.8 per cent in Sjobo Linne, 33.8 per cent in Sjobo Emanuel and 36.1 per cent in Sjobo Farsinga in the parliamentary election.

‘In the end, Sjobo residents were right, if you want to put it that way,’ 89-year-old Bengt Lundgren, who voted for the Sweden Democrats in the recent election, said with a broad grin.

Sweden struggles to integrate its immigrants.

Around 20 per cent of its population is born abroad, according to 2025 data from Statistics Sweden.

The Oxfordshire village of Piddington held its own unofficial referendum over migration on September 16. 

Some 285 of the 312 residents who voted backed a symbolic declaration of independence from Britain, in protest at plans to house 1,200 asylum seekers at a former military base nearby.

The vote had no legal force, but campaigners hope the gesture will send a message to Westminster over the proposed asylum accommodation at the former Ministry of Defence site at Bicester.“

As far as I am concerned, if the Swedes become no longer really Swedish at all, there is no reason for that country to exist. Same goes, mutatis mutandis, for this country. See also:

As previously blogged, in purely careerist terms, Shabana Mahmood has “played a blinder”: a Pakistani woman whose only legal work background was a 1-year Bar pupillage, followed by a year or two as a “gopher” in a provincial firm of solicitors, gets into the old MP racket and is made “Lord Chancellor” and then Home Secretary! You couldn’t make it up! Now she invites thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, from some of the most backward parts of the world, arguably, to come and live as total parasites off the backs of the British people.

Britain, better said many of the British, seem to have a death wish. Would I be made a Cabinet minister, or even an MP, in Pakistan? I think not (yes, I know that the Mahmood woman was born in Birmingham. Do you really think that makes any significant difference?).

Completely wrong, and politically explosive. The Triple Lock is not “unaffordable“. Stop throwing billions away on “Ukraine” (Zelensky’s dictatorship), on the housing, feeding, and otherwise funding of the now millions of black/brown migrant-invaders; the same goes for other huge wastes of money (Britain just gave £650M to Angola, a country completely unconnected to Britain or its history, so that the corrupt and totally useless Angolans can improve their airport. That is only one of hundreds of examples).

I declare an interest. I myself do benefit, marginally, from the Triple Lock. My State Pension (only about half of the full rate, by reason mainly of my time overseas) does increase by a slightly larger amount by reason of the Triple Lock. We are talking about a few pounds, if that, per week…

Any political party, whatever the reason or excuse, binning the Triple Lock can consider itself binned forever by any voters aged, say, 55+ (pensioners and those who hurtle towards State Pension age).

The idea of a State social care service that works is a good one, albeit one that has been obvious, and the service obviously needed, for many years. It has to be paid for, and there have to be enough employees to operate it. So how will it be paid for, and from where will come the huge number of employees needed?

A corrupt, shambolic, thug-regime.

If the City of London falls away, the UK economy, as it now is, will nosedive.

I do not like to advise young people, say 18-30, to abandon this country, but I should certainly say (as have Nick Griffin and others) that they should at least leave London and the other larger conurbations (which are in any case becoming —or have already become— non-white). I can understand why so many are seeking other locations in the world, especially in the Anglosphere, for medium to long-term residence.

[“Russian missiles and drone aircraft are doubling the cost of the war for Europe.

THE RUSSIAN MILITARY IS INCREASINGLY EFFECTIVELY DESTROYING THE UKRAINIAN ECONOMY AND THE TAX BASE OF THE KYIV REGIME.

We are now truly at a turning point, where the policy of each player is being determined. Continued support for Ukraine will lead to the collapse of the traditional political system in Europe.

Russia should continue to destroy the tax base of the Ukrainian economy, thereby increasing the cost of the war for Europe, so that Europeans can consider whether they can afford to find an additional 30-40 billion at a time when opposition is growing in EU countries.

There is no guaranteed funding for Kyiv for the next year. If it becomes clear that Ukraine cannot last even a year, the question will be raised in the EU: why did we need all of this?“]

Britain could have cost-price oil and gas.

Leave NATO, close down U.S. bases (under RAF or other flag), and stop giving arms, ammunition, money, and other help to the corrupt Kiev regime. In return, cheap gas, cheap oil, and a guaranteed huge market in Russia for British goods and services.

[“Russia has reactivated the “Dead Hand” retaliatory nuclear strike system, according to The Sunday Times.
The publication reports that the secret underground complex, “Facility 1335,” linked to the Soviet “Perimeter” system, has been expanded in the Ural Mountains and is now fully operational again.
Its purpose is to ensure the transmission of retaliatory orders, even after a massive attack on Russia.“]

Late thoughts

“Wars and rumours of wars“, to quote Revelation. There is certainly a good deal of chatter around. More seriously, i.e. in terms of actual events, the dial is being turned up in various ways: the situation in both the Persian/Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea; the intensification in and around Ukraine/Russia; the North Polar region (noting the new U.S. bases about to be constructed in Greenland); the uncertainty around the AI technology and the robotics technology (both in itself and around its possible economic and social effects); the continuing mass migration invasion of Europe; the increasing political instability in Europe.

When, rather than if.
