Historical essay

https://www.timesofisrael.com/without-these-queer-mps-the-uk-would-never-have-gone-to-war-with-hitler/

The Glamour Boys: The Secret Story of the Rebels who Fought for Britain to Defeat Hitler” tells the story of a small, loosely-knit group of rebel Conservative MPs who, from the mid-1930s onward, repeatedly warned of the dangers posed by Nazism, highlighted the plight of the Jews and vigorously opposed the appeasement policy of their own party’s prime minister, Neville Chamberlain.”

[Times of Israel]

Incidentally, the photo in the piece, purportedly Dachau camp in 1933, is in fact —as some readers’ comments also point out— Dachau camp in 1945, showing American soldiers in the course of shooting German prisoners.

Britain should never have gone to war with National Socialist Germany.

Runcorn and Helsby by-election— latest

https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/elections/2025/04/labour-has-nothing-to-be-happy-about-in-runcorn-and-helsby

Interesting view and analysis from the New Statesman. Not as tendentious as one might have expected.

Another view, this time from Cheshire Live: https://www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/election-sees-voters-questioning-labours-31522527.

According to one poll, the only two significant contenders, Reform and Labour, are neck and neck, both around 35% of the vote. As to the bookmakers —in my experience a less reliable indicator— Reform are odds-on favourites at about 1/2; Labour 2/1: https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.241434500.

As previously blogged, the only ways to sink Labour in this seat, and to at least “send a message” to Starmer-stein, are either to vote Reform or to vote anywhere but Labour or, failing that, not to vote at all. Whatever you do, do not vote (fake, taken-over) Labour.

I still think that Reform may smash this, but concede that I may be wrong. We shall soon know— the by-election is in three days’ time, Thursday 1 May 2025.

Import backward populations, import their religious, social, political and other behaviours. Surely that is not too hard for people to grasp, even those brainwashed by “anti-racist” propaganda?

Only a disciplined social-national movement can now save Britain and all Europe. Reform UK is a mere way-station. The real deal will come after Reform and all existing System parties are shoved aside.

She cannot believe that her treasured fake “centrist” parties have been found wanting by the British people. She has even invented a non-existent “moderate” party (it exists in her mind and tweets but nowhere else). Its “moderate” policies would include near-open borders, huge amounts of money funneled to Zelensky’s corrupt dictatorship, and huge, even unstinting, support for Israel and the Jewish lobby.

Nein danke…

Unfortunately, Douglas Murray is “a white man in a suit” who is a complete puppet of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. I should not complain about “racism” were it such that it were defending true European race and culture.

Of course, were anyone to denigrate “a black man in a suit” in the msm or System media, something seen daily, there would be uproar; the police (in their new chosen role as a poundshop Stasi) would probably get involved, in fact.

Yes, the USA might well be able to deploy 10x the military-destructive power that Russia can. Maybe even more. However, simple mathematics says that 0 x 10 is no different than 0 x 1. Once you are destroyed, you cannot be destroyed all over again.

Yes, it may be that the major Russian cities and towns and military bases could all be obliterated by American nuclear weapons, but I dare say that the 100 biggest American cities could also be largely destroyed by Russian missiles, together with the major American military facilities.

Would the Senator from Louisiana count that as a victory? New Orleans counts as no. 53, and Baton Rouge is at no. 107. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population.

Saturday quiz

Well, 6/10 this week, trumping the 2/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 3, 5, and 8.

The Jewish-Zionist plot to bring down Corbyn

The website Declassified UK has published a review of a book on the anti-Corbyn campaign, headlined “Morgan McSweeney’s ‘plot without precedent in Labour history’— A new book chronicles how Labour strategist Morgan McSweeney used ‘any means necessary’ to destroy Corbyn as leader and install Starmer.”

As one would expect, the book and the review both term the anti-Corbyn plotters “the Right“, rather than “Jews” or “Jew-Zionists”; and they use the now so-outdated “Right/Left” descriptors.

In fact, the plot to topple Corbyn was plainly one planned and funded by pro-Israeli, and probably actual Israeli, sources at root, though carried out by Zionists or pro-Zionists not all of which were Jews (though many were).

I followed Corbyn’s progress on the blog almost from when the blog started in late 2016; certainly from 2017. It was clear to me that there was a basically Jewish —and almost certainly also Israeli— conspiracy to topple him.

Not that I much favoured Corbyn, a relatively uneducated man with simplistic socialist policy viewpoints. Also, while being anti-Israeli, Corbyn always gave lip-service to some of the Zionist propaganda regulars, such as the WW2 “holocaust” narrative. He was not ruthless enough to crush his enemies.

Still, Corbyn was at least a recognizable and relatively decent English type. Starmer (“Starmer-stein”) has no decency and is just a careerist drone, out for what he can get, as witness his grabbing whatever freebies, expenses-paid items, holiday trips etc he and his Jewish wife can grab. Also, of course, his directionless travel on policy.

The fake-Labour “welfare” cuts, the cheating of the pensioners, unemployed, sick, disabled etc. The U-turn on the “trans” nonsense, too. On the one hand on his knees (literally, with Angela Rayner) before the black mobs of “Black Lives Matter”, but then playing the poundshop Stalin when English people got angry at the migration-invasion.

The website post is worth reading, but cannot be linked to, it seems.

I wonder. I am minded to think that, even if a temporary peace is agreed soon, it will not last. Russia must take and retain all of the territory east of the Dnieper.

Balashikha is, inter alia, a kind of colony for high-ranking Russian military people, situated east of Moscow, and a kind of outer suburb.

The Kiev regime seems to be able to hit individuals in Russia quite efficiently. It is an open question whether the Kiev-regime secret services have, or have had, the help of the CIA and/or MOSSAD to do that. Not the CIA any more, I should have thought.

Of course, such assassinations, while high-profile, do not change the fact that, on the ground in Ukraine, Russian forces continue to advance steadily on all relevant sectors of the front.

As I predicted long ago on the blog. I said that Starmer-stein would try to “solve” the “small boats” migration-invasion by “processing” claims (rubberstamping them) swiftly, possibly overseas, thus magically turning illegal immigrants into legal ones, then emptying the asylum hotels by gifting the invaders council housing or State-paid private rental housing that should be going to British people.

I hope that the voters of Runcorn and Helsby send a firm message —by voting Reform— to Starmer-stein at the by-election next Thursday.

Runcorn and Helsby, this is your chance to make history.

On those figures, Reform would have well over 250 MPs, Labour fewer than 190, and the Cons only 75. The Cons might then be the third-largest party in the Commons, but possibly only the fourth-largest. Terminal.

That evil spirit, Ursula von der Leyen, talks about peace, while supplying the brutal and corrupt Kiev regime dictatorship with huge amounts of arms, ammunition, and EU taxpayers’ money.

Wherever two or more are gathered in my name...” (but are they?).

Runcorn and Helsby voters!— do what you have to do next Thursday to sink Labour. If you vote Reform, well and good. If you want to vote Green or elsewhere, OK. Whatever you do, don’t vote Starmer-stein fake Labour, even if it means just staying home.

So that’s the end of that…

Glad I am not in his boots (whether guilty or not).

Diary Blog, 24 April 2025, with a few thoughts on “it’s a small world” and “six degrees of separation” etc

Afternoon music

[Oleg Lamakin, Laboratory Assistant]

It’s a small world

I was just perusing the online newspapers, looking at a few current crimes and trials. While doing that, I noticed the continuing trial (in fact, retrial) of one Constance Marten, whose retrial has been in progress for a month or so (the original trial stopped in summer 2024).

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c78e1yq6d2eo

Obviously, the present retrial is in progress and so I cannot say anything by way of comment about the material facts or subject-matter. In any case, I do not know anything of the case, beyond what little I have read in newspapers or seen on TV news from time to time.

No, what struck me was something peripheral to the case.

On reading some accounts of the trial and retrial, I saw the photograph of one of the accused:

[Constance Marten, defendant]

I happen to have very good facial recognition skills. The picture reminded me slightly of someone I encountered a few times in the mid-1980s.

At the relevant time, about 40 years ago, I had a girlfriend who worked as an interpreter at a high level, working —inter alia— with people such as the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher (eg when Gorbachev visited the UK), and with organizations such as the U.N. Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.) and various Soviet dance groups, including the Bolshoi.

Thus it was that I encountered a young woman, 20-something, who was also interpreting, but on a lower technical level. More general or social interpreting.

The Bolshoi touring ensemble was, appropriately, large, well over 300 in all, everything from dancers to costume people and even a few persons from the U.S.S.R. Ministry of Culture, i.e, KGB minders etc. The job of the last group was not really, or primarily, to prevent defections of the kind seen in the 1960s and 1970s, but to guard against anti-Soviet (mostly Jew-Zionist) protestors (re. Shcharansky and other refuseniki) and to stop people getting into trouble. For example, the famous choreographer, Grigorovitch [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yury_Grigorovich] once got into a lift in Dublin (I was already there and just about to push a button) when a harassed fat bully KGB type stormed into the lift and rudely took over, pushing the button required to get his (well-drunk) charge back to the right floor.

Such a large ensemble required several interpreters.

Incidentally, I never met Grigorovitch (as such), but always used his wife’s laminated Bolshoi Ballet clip-on lapel pass to get past the security lines and get in to see the shows (fortunately, the individual name was on the other side of the pass, and there was no photograph!). His wife was the prima ballerina, Natalia Bessmertnova [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalia_Bessmertnova]. She was too grand to actually wear or carry her laminated pass.

Incidentally, and incredibly, Grigorovitch is still alive at age 98, despite the abuse his liver must have suffered over nearly a century.

So I met that young woman mentioned, who had the unusual name Amabel (apparently one more common in both the Middle Ages and the Victorian period). I cannot now be sure, but thinking back, I think her surname was Marten or Martin; I had forgotten that until now.

Amabel was a pleasant young woman, I think probably quite a nice person generally, and was from, I was told, a wealthy landowning family who had houses, including large country houses, here and there, both in England and Ireland. In fact she and her —I was told, rather socially unacceptable to her family— boyfriend spent much of their time “looking after” (as she told me) a family-owned country house in some obscure part of the Irish countryside. My own girlfriend’s take on that was that it kept the boozy Irish boyfriend away from the family’s social circle.

I met the boyfriend once, in the large hotel in Dublin where the Bolshoi were all quartered, and where I was (unofficially) also staying (in my case for free). He was all right, and bought me a pint of Guinness, but I could see why her family may have preferred to keep him at arm’s length. I am not good at guessing ages, but anyway some years, several years at least, older than Amabel, with heavy black spectacles, and plainly drunk at three o’clock in the afternoon. In his thirties, maybe late thirties.

I was told that Amabel had told my girlfriend that when she, Amabel, was in St. Petersburg (then still Leningrad), she had been touring the Hermitage [https://www.hermitagemuseum.org/?lng=en; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermitage_Museum] when she saw some old English china. Some pieces had a representation of a large country house on them and, as she excitedly recounted to my girlfriend “...it was our house!” (pronounced “ower hice“…), referring to the family’s main seat, in rural Dorset.

Well, I got on rather well with Amabel on the very few times we met (I think only on that tour), and may have occasionally gently mocked her “upper class” background and social circle. Her (I think younger) sister, whom I met once somewhere, in England, I think, was a rather cold formal person (I thought), supposedly a one-time girlfriend of Prince Andrew (she eventually married a merchant banker).

When the Bolshoi ballerinas were relaxing, some were taken to Stratfield Saye, the seat of the Dukes of Wellington, halfway between Reading and Basingstoke, where a former schoolfriend of Amabel happened to be either the Duchess or the wife of the son of the then Duke, and who later succeeded to the title. I think the latter, thinking about it. A favoured few were allowed to ride some of the horses from the stables there.

[main entrance to Stratfield Saye House]
[part of Stratfield Saye House, Hampshire]

After 1985 or 1986, I never saw Amabel again, and I have no idea at all how her life went. The only time I even heard of her was when she and her sister were mentioned (c.1989) by a forthright and wealthy lady who was helping (with others) to save the Rudolf Steiner Bookshop in Museum Street, near the British Museum, in London (that bookshop had to close, but the Rudolf Steiner Book Trust, which I established, and of which I was an unpaid director (with anthroposophist Nelson Willby and his American wife Melissa) for a couple of years, established Wellspring Books, which had premises in New Oxford Street for many years, and which still exists online. https://www.wellspringbookshop.co.uk/.

I remember that forthright lady partly because she would refer to her husband, a Jewish businessman, as “a six-pointer“, as if he had been bred from an unusual breed of animal.

Even that was 35 or 36 years ago now.

It was only today that I thought to see whether Amabel was related to that defendant. Turns out that she almost certainly was or is. The Dorset “hice” seems to be Crichel House (or “hice”):

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

[Crichel House, Dorset]

The house was owned by one Napier Marten or Napier Sturt Marten [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier_Marten], born about 2-3 years after me, in 1959. He has or had no fewer than five sisters, one of which is or was Amabel Marten. He also has four children, one of whom is Constance Marten.

The house and 400 acres of the estate land was sold in 2013 for £34M to an American billionaire hedge-fund operator, one Richard L. Chilton.

Chinese artworks were also sold, for over £12M.

Well, there it is. Looks like the Amabel I encountered a few times in the mid-1980s is or was (I assume she is still around, but who knows?) the aunt of the accused, Constance Marten. Small world.

Update, 14 July 2005

(scroll down until you reach the bit about Amabel Marten and her husband, one Kieran (or Ciaran) Clarke etc; he apparently died in 2004 at the age of 52, and may or may not have been the person I met in Dublin in or about 1985 or 1986. It seems that the above house was only bought in 1990 or 1991).

[“I firmly believe the UK is now hurtling toward a major political earthquake. Look at the numbers in the latest polling, compared to the general election last year. Amid the worst cost-of-living crisis since the Second World War, soaring and uncontrolled immigration, deteriorating public services, a glaring lack of social integration, and a succession of scandals that have rocked the Labour government, from the rape gangs to Freebiegate, voters are now on the move. Compared to the 2024 general election, Keir Starmer and Labour are down more than 10-points on just 24%. Kemi Badenoch and the Tories are down 2-points on just 22%, showing no sign of recovery. And the Liberal Democrats are up 1-point, averaging just 13.6%. But now look at Reform. As we’ve been predicting and analysing in our newsletter for two years (showing why people are voting Reform and the areas where it is building strength), Reform is now up 11-points to 25%. And that’s not all. As I explain below, Reform is now hitting both the Tories but especially Labour in unique and powerful ways, looking set for a major breakthrough as it inherits the post-Brexit realignment.”]

Yes, but Reform can only be a transitional party, existing in the space between the existing System parties and a social nationalist movement which, as yet, does not exist.

The next big test will be the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. 9 days from today. Those voters could make history. Will they?

We” are not imposing anything. It has been imposed on us by the System parties, and mainly at the behest of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby…but don’t expect Goodwin to say anything about that

Does “their” thirst for vengeance and retribution never stop?

He noted that the Kiev regime continues to steal money from the Ukrainian people, we are talking about billion-dollar accounts that are located abroad. And Western weapons supplied to Ukraine constantly end up on the black market.“]

If the Kiev regime does not come to terms shortly, then the war will continue until unconditional surrender, or worse.

That could have been predicted.

I disagree with the lady tweeter. The “4 MPs” of Reform UK are 4 and not 93 (650 x 14.29%) only by reason of a stupid, illogical, and totally unfair electoral system. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results.

In rough terms, at the 2024 General Election, Reform scored about 2 votes out of every 12 cast. Labour got 4 out of every 12, the Con Party 3 out of every 12. In fact, 8 out of every 20 eligible did not even vote, so Labour was endorsed by only 4 out of 20.

About half of those Labour votes were cast by people who now realize that Starmer-stein lied to them about almost everything. That is why Labour (supported mainly by non-white voters) is now around the same level as Reform UK.

The unfair FPTP electoral system gives the false impression that only a tiny fringe supported Reform at GE 2024; in fact it was over 14%, and the Conservative Party, with all its money and history (and in government until the General Election) only scored 23%.

Widespread and angry political dissent is not going to go away even if Reform does. Popular discontent will simply find another channel to flow down. Another party, or a new movement of some kind, perhaps a social-national movement which goes beyond being simply a political party.

James O’Brien, a radio would-be know-all who is often pretty ignorant.

What’s wrong with the other 53%? Actually, the “53%” is nearer to 33% or even lower, because at least 20% of the whole population is now non-European and their votes should not be taken into account in such a poll.

A good majority of white (i.e. British) people are now firmly hostile to immigration.

At last.

Overnight, Ukrainian forces used 48 drones, one of which targeted Crimea. Ukrainian forces attempted to bomb Russian military positions 444 times after the ceasefire was announced, and carried out 900 drone strikes. The attacks resulted in civilian deaths and injuries, and damage to civilian facilities.”]

The Conservative Party is close to being finished. Labour is now committing suicide similarly. The LibDems are just a joke party, pointless and stupid. That leaves Reform, which is not social-national, but merely conservative-nationalist, and which may be in government after 2028/2029. After that, the only way to go will be proper social nationalism.

Eventually, the peoples of Europe will rise up and put paid to both the alien predators and to the System politicians and others who have imported them and are protecting them.

Mass immigration is driving down living standards.

Wages squeezed.

Housing pressure exploding.

Social cohesion eroding. For years, they told you it was “enriching.” They told you it was “necessary.” They called you a bigot for asking questions. Now? Even the IMF admits it’s hurting you.

This isn’t mismanagement — it’s betrayal by design.

And it’s time to hold every liar, every enabler, and every policymaker ACCOUNTABLE.“]

Britain has been invaded and is being occupied: “legal” immigrants (supposed spouses, fiancees, students, work-visa holders, then illegal immigrants on “small boats etc”, then births to those non-white women already in the UK, and also to stupid white/British women impregnated by blacks).

Again, Reform in the top two places of an opinion poll. I think that all opinion polls for the past 6-9 months have had Reform either top or second.

The “Conservatives” have no chance after their 14 years of appalling misgovernment 2010-2024, especially now that their idiot MPs and ordinary members have (for the second time) chosen to be led by a non-white, non-British “leader”.

On the Opinium figures, the Commons would have both Reform and Labour on 228 MPs, Cons with 97, and LibDems with 43 (taking LibDems and Green as each having a 10% vote-share). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

As with so many other recent polls, a Reform/Con government would be the only possibility, on those numbers, or a minority Reform government.

Very different figures, but same basic story. On those numbers, though, Reform UK would have about 325 MPs, one short of an absolute majority, but enough for a very thin working majority, without the need for support.

On the numbers there, Labour would have 154 MPs, Cons 58, and LibDems 45. If that were to happen, the Conservative Party would be utterly irrelevant, and likely to decline to near-zero over time.

Not sure whether that likely Con terminal decline would be the best result, or whether the best consequence of such an electoral result would be that Labour would have only 154 MPs instead of 403 (as now). A loss of 249 MPs. 249 upset System drones (plus 63 equally-upset Con ex-MPs; wonderful again…).

If that is representative of the proportional losses of the Ukrainian and Russian forces, then the Kiev-regime is losing perhaps 20 soldiers for every Russian soldier killed.

Did he steal too much even for Zelensky’s cabal to accept?

Another USD $20M loss for the US taxpayers.

Looks as though the matter is moving towards the endgame, at least as far as American aid to the Kiev regime is concerned.

Hard to say how many tanks Russia now has. Somewhere between 2,000 and 10,000. The Kiev regime has somewhere between 500 and 1,500.

It is not impossible to imagine a direct assault on Kiev either this year or in 2026.

Diary Blog, 16 April 2025, including thoughts about cruelty to animals in Egypt, about Reform’s chances of having nearly 200 MPs elected, and about the Runcorn and Helsby by-election

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14614247/Dutch-woman-PUNCHES-man-beating-donkey-Egyptian-tourist-site-chases-whip.html

An animal-loving Dutch vigilante who attacked a man she saw beating a donkey in Egypt is now facing a lawsuit.

Astonishing footage shows expat Joke Van der Post punching the animal’s handler before chasing him with a whip as he tries to flee.

In the heartbreaking video – which has since gone viral – the donkey kicks out in agony as it is repeatedly lashed while tethered to a wall on the outskirts of Cairo.

Appalled by the horrific cruelty, the 47-year-old runs at the man before pinning him against a wall and striking him several times shouting, ‘You think you’re f****** normal.’

As the man tries to run away Ms Van der Post, who manages a veterinary practice called the Good Karma Sanctuary, grabs a whip from another donkey handler and chases him off into the distance.

The man filed a police complaint accusing Ms Van der Post of assault and claiming appearing in the viral video has caused him ‘psychological harm’, local media reports.”

[Daily Mail]

Treatment of animals in Egypt is often very bad, and most of the people there are cowardly wastes of space.

It is interesting to note that not only do Europeans run all or almost all of the animal welfare hospitals etc in Egypt, but also most of the efforts devoted to helping the Egyptian children etc born with various handicaps. The locals (I was told when I was there for a few months in the 1990s) regard such accidents or incidents of birth as a curse from God, and so need not be addressed at all. Backward Islamic or quasi-Islamic beliefs.

It is also interesting to note that modern Egypt was run best under the European influence of c.1860-1952 and in particular the years between the First and Second World Wars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Egypt.

In Alexandria, that time is known as the International Period. Far more civilized than Alexandria as it now is.

The Egyptian in that Daily Mail report is typical. Willing to hurt a defenceless donkey, but running away when a European woman confronted him. Pity he was not himself whipped.

I could tell of a number of instances when I saw that Egyptian coward/bully mentality. There are exceptions, and some of the Egyptians are better than that, but I think a small minority.

Look at the pathetic Egyptian Army. As the old joke has it, the only time (in the past few thousand years) when the Egyptians won a military victory was in the second act of Aida.

Really, it has to be admitted that Africa generally, and including North Africa , should be under civilized European rule.

As for Seldon, as a well-known writer, historian etc, he should know that the USA lost its moral authority long ago, certainly by the time it became a “tail wags dog” state controlled by Israeli and other Jewish and Zionist interests under the two Bush presidents and Clinton, Obama, and Biden. You only have to think of the torture and perversity inflicted at Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Kabul, Guantanamo, and elsewhere.

Many of them will also be adjudged as having deserved to lose their heads, too. Let history judge (?).

Thank God.

Reform UK, Labour, and the Runcorn and Helsby by-election

The most recent opinion poll about nationwide political sympathies:

Well, that poll (with notional LibDem vote around 12%, and Greens on 10%) would result in a Commons with 198 Lab MPs, 187 Reform, and 156 Con (51 Libdems, 27 SNP, 4 Greens). The only possible government on those numbers would be a Reform/Con arrangement of some sort, having a majority of 17, and a working majority slightly bigger. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

The polls are variable at present, but all tell the same story— Reform UK either the most popular party or a close second. Bearing in mind that Reform voters are said to be more motivated to actually vote than Lab or Con voters (and that fewer Lab voters vote by post, Con and Reform voters tending —so far— to be older and, by reason of that, less healthy), the real picture could well be even better for Reform.

I see the reality as being that at least a plurality of voters are absolutely sick of what Britain is becoming, and are therefore clutching at the Reform straw even though, in many cases, underwhelmed by both Reform and Farage. The voters who support Reform want to hit out at, and perhaps bury, both Lab and Con.

This should make the Runcorn and Helsby by-election even more interesting. The betting market (which I have found an unreliable guide to by-election results) has Reform as strongly odds-on favourite to win (about 1/3, with Labour around 5/2, and Conservatives around 8/1; there are 15 candidates in all). https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.241434500.

I think and have blogged that Reform will smash it, but I concede that there are a number of factors in play. The constituency has Runcorn town as main voter pool, but even that is over 90% white, so the George Galloway vehicle, Workers’ Party, will probably come in 4th or 5th.

Turnout may or may not be low; if it is, Reform will benefit, probably. I wonder how many former Labour voters will turn out to vote for a nominally “Labour” government that has cheated pensioners, is intent on cheating and bullying the sick, disabled and unemployed, and which is at the same time throwing money at “Ukraine” (the brutal Zionist dictatorship in Kiev) and foreign aid recipients. All that, and while also presiding over ever-worse migration invasion, and the consequent street crime now seen everywhere.

The “experts” are still saying that the by-election will be close between Reform and Labour, but Labour seems less credible with every passing day. No less than 700 migrant-invaders landed on the beaches of England yesterday alone!

The Conservative Party under the Nigerian woman is a busted flush. In any case, in 2024 the Cons only scored 16% in the Runcorn and Helsby constituency.

Any 2024 Conservative Party voters who want to stick it to Labour have no choice but to vote Reform, tactically.

This by-election will be a pure test of the popularity of both Starmer-stein’s fake “Labour” government and of Reform UK. Its importance is huge.

Journalists and analysts from Israeli TV channels report: The letter from pilots and naval officers demanding an end to the war has caused a real storm. Refusal to serve becomes a strategic threat. The dismissal of thousands of military personnel would be a grave mistake! At the same time, none of the goals of the war have been achieved yet, and everything that is happening is turning into a huge snowball, capable of developing into an avalanche.”]

[“NEW POST. I’ve just returned to Britain from Hungary, where I spent a few days giving talks to students, politicians, and members of the public. Whenever you mention Hungary among a certain group in London —think SW1 Westminster, the BBC, Financial Times, Oxbridge—people tend to lose their minds. ‘Hungary!?’ they say, ‘you mean that rather odd country in Eastern Europe that’s very conservative and falling out with everybody in the European Union!?” I first experienced this reaction last summer when, amid the Southport atrocities, I dared to point out that the country I was visiting and which Western elites like to criticise —a very stable, a very secure, and a very peaceful Hungary—looked utterly different to the country I was returning to. Because unlike Hungary, Britain was on fire. Widespread rioting and protests after the Southport atrocity had become an unavoidable symbol of intense public concern about things that are only significant in Hungary because they are absent —mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, radical Islamism, Pakistani Muslim rape gangs, and the murder of children by the descendants of recent immigrants. Nonetheless, my mere suggestion that perhaps Hungary has got some things right that Britain has got badly wrong generated an incredibly hostile response from British elites, reflecting an arrogance and snobbishness that is rife among that class. Indeed, for much of the last fifteen years there’s been an assumption among elites in Britain that something has gone ‘badly wrong’ with Hungary. But based on what I witnessed and was asked at events last week, I’m here to tell you that the opposite is true. Because as far as many Hungarians are concerned, it is Britain, it is England, it is us, who got things badly wrong, who made a series of disastrous policy choices they are determined to avoid, and who are, in the words of one person I encountered, “losing our country”.”]

I certainly enjoyed my week or so in Hungary (about 24 years ago), when I stayed for about 3 days at Szeged (having driven from Turkey through Bulgaria and Romania) and then about 4 days by Lake Balaton.

Saturday quiz

Ah…this week my 5/10 was beaten by the 6/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I might have scored higher but could only get the answers to questions 1, 4, 6, 7, and 8.

Wall. Squad. End.

The judge in question should be removed from the bench, having been influenced, as must have been the case, by the panicky demands of Starmer-stein on TV in relation to the street protests and connected online remarks made against the migrant-invaders.

There is no serious attempt to stop even illegal migration, while nominally or superficially “legal” migration continues at a rate about 20x greater, at least. We are talking about 500,000-1,500,000 every single year.

The major institutions of the UK are riddled with treachery.

Starmer-stein has just sent the latest tranche of British taxpayers’ money, £450M of it, to the brutal dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev.

Meanwhile, also, Starmer-stein and thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner have postponed many local council elections across England.

The Runcorn and Helsby by-election, though, has not been “postponed”, and it looks as though Reform may win it. I should have thought that Reform would smash it, but the “experts” are all saying it may be close between Reform and Labour.

True, Labour got over 50% of the vote in 2024 (Reform 18.1%, Cons 16%), but 2024 was a different world.

Since then, the Labour MP (who looked like an idiot anyway) for Runcorn and Helsby has stepped down after having drunkenly assaulted a constituent in the street. Also, Starmer-stein has thrown away billion upon billion to “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev), to Israel (via military assistance), and to those in Africa and Asia who hate us.

Britain continues to be invaded, daily, by literally thousands of blacks and browns (millions every couple of years); also, British people are not only having their living standards further reduced (after 14 years of equally bad and in fact very similar “Conservative” misgovernment), but having their free speech rights hacked away.

Are there really enough dummies voting, even in a once-hardcore Labour area such as Runcorn, to elect another Starmer-stein drone MP? I hope not. Former Labour voters will, I think, either stay home or vote Reform, while only the most stupid and hide-bound former Con voters will turn out to vote at the by-election for a Con candidate who has no chance at all and may well lose his deposit. Those former Con voters who mainly want to stick it to Labour have no choice but to vote Reform tactically.

There are 15 candidates [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8d4yvg1lzgo] but only Reform and Labour are of any importance.

Something has to give in the body politic. It may be that that will become apparent at Runcorn and Helsby. Reform UK is just the start of a process, however. Social nationalism must eventually arise.

The “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] operates, like so many Jewish/Zionist/Israeli orgs, under a cloak of secrecy. Its address is secret, its funding is secret, and most of its supporters’ names are secret. It contrives complaints to professional regulators and to the police (usually via “Slitherman”, as some call its self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”), and tries to bully both individuals and organizations.

“Slitherman” himself was exposed years ago, in open court, and by the bungling of the CAA’s Jewish solicitor, as a pseudonymous online troll, taunting (almost exclusively) women on social media; some had suffered nervous harm as a result. Since then, “Slitherman” has not, as far as I know, had the courage to give evidence (or perjured evidence) in court, but relies on backstairs manipulation of police and CPS.

Incidentally, “Slitherman” was not alone in his online trolling of women (and a few men as well). There was a whole little group. The others, though, all seem to have —permanently— stopped…

“Slitherman” himself now mostly retweets tweets from the “CAA” (quite likely drafted by him anyway).

I understand (I believe I read, anyway) that Starmer-stein, despite being a total puppet of Israel and Jewish Zionism, instructed his staff a couple of years ago not to interact with the “CAA”; in any case, and whatever the truth of that, Starmer is probably more connected to the more “established” Jewish/Zionist orgs, such as the “Board of Deputies of British Jews” and the “Community Security Trust” [“CST”].

The “CAA” has damaged itself by its constant litany of false complaints, wasting of police time, wasting of CPS resources, and by the lies and actual perjury (albeit never punished properly, as yet) of its leading members and supporters.

Graham is a complete puppet for Israel. They must pay him plenty.

All the same, it is worrying that a U.S. Senator thinks that a country with a possible (soon, or potential) 6 nuclear devices could “destroy” both Israel and the USA itself by the use of them! Admittedly, his phrasing was not quite as the tweet reports, but Graham is still a danger to his own constituents.

He must be far more afraid of Russia, which is said to possess some 6,600 such weapons!

[“Trump is not interested in continuing to support Ukraine with weapons or participating in conflicts , said Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Russia Today media group and RT. “We have every reason to believe that he (Trump – editor’s note) would really like to end the war in Ukraine in one day. And he really doesn’t care about this Ukraine. And he really doesn’t want to help with even more weapons, to spend an insane amount of money on this,” Simonyan said on the air of the program “Right to Know”.”]
