Yes to more English/British children, but no to more children from non-whites resident in the UK.

Even that does not tell the whole story, because quite a high proportion of the grandmothers, or grandfathers, or both, of the remaining 66% are in fact also non-white, non-European.

About 1,600 babies are born daily in the UK. Only about 400 of those are actually English/British, or fully English/British.

8 out of 10 of those countries are very backward, and so are most of the people. As for “Romanians“, I would be prepared to bet that most, the vast majority, are not real Romanians at all but Roma Gypsies.

Refer to earlier comment. The real figure, i.e. children born to wholly or partly non-white English/British parents and grandparents is nearer to 70% now.

Israeli Jews have been and still are killing tens of thousands of defenceless Arab Palestinian children. Fact.

Eventually, though, there will be a big bang. Then, no Tel Aviv…

In Central London. Amazing.

USG” = “U.S. Government”. As for Russia’s economy “starting to creak”, has Steele taken a look closer to home recently? UK, EU states etc…

Steele [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Steele] was an officer of SIS/MI6 1987-2009 who, in more recent times, has worked in the private sector, and has been involved, inter alia, in preparing “black propaganda” dossiers of doubtful veracity targeting Trump and others, and Russian interests generally. He cannot now conveniently travel in either Russia or the USA, and is believed to live and/or have property in Surrey, south-west of London.

According to Wikipedia etc, Steele acted as a paid FBI source between 2014-2016, and was paid around USD $100,000 in toto.

In my opinion, probably not at all reliable.

As an outsider, not involved in secret activities, I have always been sceptical of the value of the SIS/MI6 apparat. I still am. Where are the successes? (and it is no answer to reply that they have to be kept secret).

Looking at Steele’s tweet, I might bat back at him the same question, but about his own activity— cui bono?

I have just looked at a few recent tweets by Steele. He is, it seems to me, in danger of becoming obsessed by the idea of Trump as Russian secret (or not-so-secret) agent.

Reminiscent of those SIS/MI6 and MI5 oddities of the 1960s and 1970s (Peter Wright, Stephen de Mowbray etc) who were convinced that the D-G of MI5, Roger Hollis, and others (including the Prime Minister, Harold Wilson) were Soviet agents: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Wright_(MI5_officer); and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_de_Mowbray; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Hollis.

Using Electoral Calculus, that would suggest Reform 276 MPs, Labour 199, LibDem 73, Cons 47, SNP 24. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Reform has probably fallen back a bit by reason of two factors: its kneejerk pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby pronouncements, and the perception (seen in comments by pro-Reform Matt Goodwin, as well in some by Tice etc) that Reform wants to radically cut back the Welfare State.

As for the Conservative Party, probably damaged beyond repair now. 14 years of terrible misgovernment in almost all if not all areas, and now “led” by hopeless Nigerian woman Kemi Badenoch.

[“I loathe disability cuts full-stop from any party, what an absolute disgrace. But let’s be quite clear, Tories are opposing them BECAUSE THEY DON’T GO FAR ENOUGH. That is an appalling position to adopt, unpopular & mad, look at how the public’s reacted to Labour’s plans! I’d almost respect that despicable position more if they at least backed Labour’s intention to bring welfare bills down, it looks more principled – if you believe in disability cuts which dear lord I don’t. So Labour want to bring in horrific cuts, Tories (and Reform) want deeper cuts but Tories will oppose even though they agree with the mission but think it’s underpowered. Beyond unprincipled. The vote tonight reveals an all-round shitshow of cruelty, cynicism and performative opposition. No wonder voters despair.“]

The only thing that makes System MPs afraid is […COMMENT REDACTED because the UK no longer has much freedom of speech…].

That is because Starmer-stein and his cabal are not really a Labour government, except in terms of label; they are a Labour Friends of Israel regime. Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, all of that rubbish lot.

High Peak is an unfortunate constituency. First they had Conservative Friends of Israel MP Robert Largan (2017-2024), now they have Labour Friends of Israel MP Jon Pearce (2024-). The difference is mainly the party label.

What price “democracy” when, whomsoever you vote for, you get a Friends of Israel drone?

More seriously, Basic Income is the way forward. Akin to Pension (Guarantee) Credit, but rolled out to every (real) English/British citizen (i.e. not fuzzie-wuzzies straight off the boats).

95% or more of the vulgarly-named “Jobcentres” could be shut down, 99.99% of the ludicrously-named “job coaches” etc (most of whom are probably otherwise unemployable themselves) could be dismissed; huge numbers of buildings could be shut down, saving billions.

Liz Kendall. Stephen Timms. The two most immediately guilty individuals, followed by Rachel Reeves, Starmer-stein, and then all the MPs who vote for these evil disability cuts.

Quite. It is the hypocrisy emanating not only from Liz Kendall etc but also from the evil Conservative Party MPs such as Ian Dunce Duncan Smith that is so nauseating.

Also, where is the understanding about how automation, computers, now AI too, already affect and will increasingly affect employment? Marx (arguably) started the ball rolling on that (discussion of the effects), and that was 150 years ago.

Jon Trickett, born in 1950, comes from an era when the Labour Party, for all its flaws, still had weight and at least some integrity. That was then…

Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves, Starmer-stein, Timms. Others. All guilty. I am “not allowed” (in our “free country”) to say what I think should happen to them, but I know what I think, and I think a lot of other people are thinking the same…

[“Today, CAA has written to @Glastonbury demanding answers over the weekend’s events and noting that the Festival organisers may have breached the conditions of their licence by platforming certain acts despite warnings not to do so. The letter is also being shared with @SomersetCouncil, the licensing authority.

Glastonbury this year allowed itself to become even more of a hate-fest than ever before. That ends now. Or Glastonbury Festival does.”]

“They” are completely out of control, and themselves want the power to control, “monitor”, censor, and close down anyone and anything they decide is “anti-Semitic”.

The rest of that thread is unintentionally funny: some Labourite cretin fantasizing about how much better this fake-Labour government would have been had either Liz Kendall (WHAT?!) or (Jesus H. Christ!) Gloria de Piero had become Labour leader! The latter, incidentally, was the useless and brainless TV presenter who became a “Labour-lite” MP in 2010, stepped down as MP in 2019 (knowing she would not be re-elected) and is now, thankfully, all but forgotten.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_De_Piero].

I do not know much about Rod Stewart, but I get the impression that he is someone who does like to give someone a chance. Starmer-stein has had his chance, and continues to do things that make him and Labour either hated or held in contempt, or both.

Needless to say, for me, Reform UK is underwhelming, not really “national”, and is pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, pro-finance-capitalism etc, BUT also the only game in town to crush the existing System party set-up that has been around for so long, certainly since the 1930s, and effectively since about 1900 if not prior to that date.

For me, it scarcely matters that Reform UK is itself basically a germinal System party, because its role is to chuck Labour and Conservative parties into the dustbin of history. After that, we shall see…

Ha. If only! The Russians have rather painted themselves into a corner with the “Nazi” stuff. The fact is that the Kiev regime is basically Jew-Zionist, and allied to Israel. As for “Nazi descendants“, that presumably refers to the new British SIS Chief, Blaise Metreweli, who has both Georgian and Ukrainian antecedents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Metreweli.

There has been a trend in Russian propaganda in recent years of being rather silly, especially around the “neo-Nazi Ukraine” stuff, and so on. Also, the pro-Stalin and “Great Patriotic War” nostalgia stuff.

Maria Zakharova might educate herself a little were she to read more widely about the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. e.g. The World I left Behind (published in Russian as Niece of the General Secretary, Племянница Генсека) by Lyubov Brezhneva: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyubov_Brezhneva.

I need Russia to win the war with the Kiev regime, Russia has to win this war, appalling though it is, but it must drop the silliness of some of its propaganda (and also appoint better military and intelligence strategists).

It does not surprise me that Starmer-stein is morally corrupt, and the same goes for quite a few of his MPs (and the “Conservative” ones). What has slightly surprised me over several recent years (since about 2009, when I returned to live full-time in the UK) is how utterly clueless, totally ignorant, so many MPs are, including Cabinet ministers and, indeed, Prime Ministers (Starmer-stein, Liz Truss, Boris-idiot, Theresa May, Cameron-Levita, Sunak, even Gordon Brown).

[“I am never voting fake Labour again, you bastards!“]

Unsurprising. A party led by a Nigerian woman who is only here because her parents came to London for her birth (at that time, 1980, anyone born in the UK could later apply for a British passport). Kemi Badenoch is not really British at all. Until she was about 16-17, she had only been here for a day or two after her birth. She was brought up in Nigeria and then the USA. She is alien.

Apart from that, though, imagine a party (“Conservative” by name) which apparently intends to help Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, and Liz Kendall pass their social security/”welfare” cuts package, so cruel and unfeeling, and so unnecessary.

Huge amounts of money are wasted on all sorts of nonsense, such as the nuclear-weapons-carrying fighter-bombers the UK is apparently going to waste money buying from the USA. Do the cretins pretending to run this country really believe that Russia, as it now is, wants to invade Western Europe, even invade the UK? The idea is ludicrous.

Meanwhile, the only invasion that matters is continuing: 500-1,000 across the Channel most days now, with a further ~5,000 coming in “legally” as (supposedly) “high-skilled” workers (who never leave), spouses, fiancees, tourists (who never go back), “students” (who never go back) etc. Also, births to non-Europeans already here (about 1,600 births a day occur in the UK, of which the majority now are non-white). Call it a total of about 7,000. Every day…

People spend 13, often 16, sometimes as many as 20 years, in full-time education in this country, and most know FA. Truly radical change needed.

[“Israel’s plot to attack Iran hatched up to 15 years ago Israel had seeded target locations with “boots on the ground” long before June 13, an intelligence source told The Times.

The collected intel assisted Israel’s targeting of three nuclear sites in Tehran and Isfahan, including seven separate elements of the Natanz enrichment facility, and scores of other sites.

Israeli agents allegedly visited missile factories and workshops which Israel later targeted, including “the entire industry that supported” production of the conventional armaments.

Mossad possibly recruited “Iranian insiders,” the report hinted. Besides missile launches at Israel, a big component of Iran’s response to Israeli aggression has included hunting down Mossad agents, scores of whom have now been caught carrying improvised explosive devices, military-grade explosives, drones and even anti-tank missiles. Some agents have attempted suicide, while others engaged in dramatic, high-speed shootouts with police while attempting to get away.“]

As a John le Carre character reflected, intelligence work rests on patience and a kind of gentleness. Learn from the enemy and the potential enemy. Learn from history. MOSSAD, the KGB and GRU in their heyday, Chinese Intelligence, people such as Maurice Oldfield and Markus Wolf etc.

As for Israeli intelligence, remember what famous former MOSSAD operative Ostrovsky wrote, 36 years ago, i.e. that, in all countries where Jews exist, military and terror plans are in place, weapons and explosives secreted, to be used by selected Jews when the time comes. Look at the UK. Hundreds of young Jews go to Israel every year to be trained by the Israeli armed forces. They then return, most of them, to the UK, become journalists, editors, business parasites, City traders, whatever…but are also, some of them, agents or secret co-workers of MOSSAD, AMAN etc.

A fifth column in our society.

Re. Labour’s recent supposed “stunning victory” in the recent Hamilton by-election (Scottish Parliament): when you look at the figures, Labour won but with only 31.6% of the vote. The SNP vote fell markedly (unsurprisingly) to 29.4%, and Reform UK, which had not previously put up a candidate in the constituency, came in a close third, with 26.1%; all three main candidates were within a band of 1,400 votes.

The Conservative Party got only 6%, a huge fall from its previous vote, and the six other candidates (including the LibDem) lost their deposits.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton,Larkhall_and_Stonehouse(Scottish_Parliament_constituency)#2020s

This was a pretty good performance by Reform. They may well succeed next time. Until now, Scotland has been a barren field for broadly British nationalist parties, so the result is an interesting straw in the wind.

That Jew is an Israeli government minister. Openly says what most of his co-conspirators do not— that Israeli policy is genocidal, i.e. either to wipe out the Palestinian Arab population in Gaza, or to “resettle” them in concentration camps. Wait a minute…where have I heard something similar to that before?…about 90 years ago, in Europe…but back then, much of the population affected was able to leave, and go to Palestine, the UK, the USA, Australia, South Africa etc, and in many cases with considerable stolen or otherwise “acquired” monies and gold etc.

Starmer-stein wasting British taxpayer monies, and putting British pilots etc at risk, for the sake of helping the Jewish state, which has murdered our soldiers and civilians in the past, and whose supporters exploit the British people now.

Yes, that was a long time ago (mid-1940s) but is more recent than whatever the Germans are alleged to have done to Jews in the early 1940s, and about which Jewish and Israeli organizations (and Israel itself) are still constantly whining.

Ellwood is absolutely idiotic in terms of his preferred field— geopolitics. If anyone were to listen to him, we should be fighting Russia, China, and much of the Arab/Muslim world, simultaneously.

Starmer-stein has to be removed.

There probably are very stupid people who support Labour, and who think that Starmer-Labour is the same party once headed by Attlee, Harold Wilson etc. Not really. What now exists is a kind of “System Party” with several heads, one of which is “Labour”. Listen to Starmer. He sounds much more like a Conservative Party prime minister than anything approaching what, in the past, sounded like a Labour one.

Interesting name. “Metreveli” (“v” not “w”) is a Georgian surname. Wonder what is her background. “Florence” (her middle name) is, I think (subject to correction), a rather old-fashioned English name. My own maternal grandmother was Florence Eva [+ surname].

Seems that the new SIS Chief at one time anyway lived in Pimlico (quite convenient for the HQs of both MI5 and MI6/SIS).

47 years old (48 in July), and read Anthropology at Pembroke College, Cambridge. That must have been in the late 1990s.

At first, it seemed as though the Israelis were going to have a depressingly easy time in this conflict. Now, though, an outlier thought comes to mind…could this be the beginning of the end for Israel?

Oil prices will probably continue to rise, placing Russia in a good position economically and thus militarily. As for the Kiev regime, “blackbird, bye bye“…

Diary Blog, 5 June 2025, including a few thoughts on voter migration 2024-2025, and about Israel’s deliberate starvation of children in Gaza

[Stirling Castle, Scotland]

Talking point

[from Electoral Calculus]

To my mind, two aspects stand out: firstly, the fact that Reform UK has been attracting voters from all System parties, leaving the Greens aside. Former Conservative Party voters, but also former Labour Party voters; even some former LibDem voters (presumably, people who previously voted LibDem as being “the least bad of a bad bunch”). Secondly, the fact that Reform UK seems to be able to pull out of their self-imposed (?) exile people who in recent times have preferred not to vote (presumably in disgust at the choice or, rather, lack of choice, offered.

I have said many times on this blog that, with (in 2024) just on 40% of the entire eligible electorate preferring not to vote, any party that could energize even a substantial fraction of those voters, might sweep to power. It is not clear what proportion of 2024 non-voters are now willing to vote Reform, but it seems to be a substantial proportion, anyway (and no other party is managing to do the same).

A further point of interest is how many 2024 Lab and Con voters are now intending to abstain. Quite a few, but more from the Labour camp. I am guessing that the one-time Corbyn supporters are either going Green or abstaining, while others are going LibDem or to Reform, but it may not be so clear-cut.

What the picture will be by 2029, I cannot say, but somehow I doubt that most of those dissatisfied voters will be flocking back like homing pigeons to Lab or Con. Indeed, it may well be that both main System parties will experience further drift away from their control and influence.

Gaza

Whoever in the UK —whether Jew or non-Jew— supports what the Israeli Government is doing in Gaza is complicit in war crimes of a deeply sadistic and brutal kind.

Jewish orgs in the UK, such as the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], maintain that only 6% of Jews in the UK say that they are not “Zionists”, and that the vast majority of the remaining 94% support what the Israeli Government is doing. From the horse’s mouth.

Starmer-stein has vowed to maintain arms sales to Israel. He is therefore and thereby aiding and abetting the worst kind of state terrorism, indeed terrorism bullying a civilian population (a high proportion of which consists of non-combatant women and children) which has no means at all of protecting or defending itself, let alone of fighting the Israeli Jews with their jet aircraft, missiles, tanks etc.

It becomes ever more obvious that the establishment of the State of Israel was a terrible mistake. Still, perhaps it will be possible to correct that, together with other, connected, mistakes.

That kind of special forces type of operation is in a grey area alongside “terrorism”. The Kiev regime is doing it not from a position of strength but from one of military weakness, weakness on the battlefield. The Kiev regime’s forces are depleted, at little more than skeleton strength now. Russian Federation forces are steadily if slowly advancing across the major sections of the front, and are not retreating on any sector of the front.

I expect a Russian move shortly that will be both payback for the recent drone attacks on airfields as far away as Western Siberia, and an escalation which may create a breakthrough for the Russian side.

While I should hate to see Germany destroyed or very badly damaged, Russia cannot and will not lose this war.

Thought

The representatives of the Jewish state of Israel, as well as many Jew-Zionists in the UK and elsewhere, are whining that they are (once again) “victims” because the UN predicted that 48,000 Palestinian babies would die within days by reason of the Israelis cutting off food, water, medicines etc. The Israeli/Jewish plea seems to be “we are not killing 48,000 babies, but only (?) 4,800 or 480...”

Do they really think that such a plea is either credible or plausible? Even if the true figure were 1% of the original, i.e. 480 rather than 48,000, would that be acceptable to the non-Jewish world? I think not.

Even when they are destroying cities full of people, “they” are always the victims (in their own collective mind).

It is just like the Jewish/Israeli claim that what Israel has done in Gaza over the past 18 months is not “genocide”, according to various carefully-delineated intricate legalistic web-tracery, or Talmudic argument. The rest of the world just looks at the enormity of the Israeli brutality and sadism and thinks “what they have done speaks for itself, whether or not it be labelled ‘genocide’.”

Now we see that Israel is preparing concentration camps for deported Palestinian Arabs, but has labelled them “humanitarian zones“.

[Bishop Rock Lighthouse, Scilly Isles. I visited the Rock on a small boat once, aged 9 or maybe just 10, in September 1966. The sea-state was a dead calm that day, though. The lighthouse is now automated, like all others in the UK; in 1966, there were still three lighthouse-keepers; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop_Rock]

Reform UK in 2025 as against the SDP in 1981

That idiot, Brian Coleman, says in another tweet (by his co-pannelist, Tessa Dunlop), that he “used to be important” and is now “a has-been“. The second point may be so, the first only if you think that having been, long ago, a councillor in the Borough of Barnet (North London) and/or a member of the London Assembly, is “important“.

Wikipedia says effectively nothing about his parentage, background, education, or any work or profession: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Coleman.

Wikipedia does mention Coleman’s membership of Conservative Friends of Israel, and his numerous instances of intemperate and violent behaviour, for at least one of which he was convicted of assault (though given a remarkably lenient sentence, on the facts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Coleman#Conviction_for_assault).

Coleman was also a pretty bad expenses-blodger.

One wonders why the Jeremy Vine Show is interested in the comments of such people. His claim that Farage is and Reform UK is a “sideshow” shows Coleman’s complete lack of political nous. He says that he is old enough to remember the SDP, and how, after riding high in opinion polls, it imploded after less than a year in 1981.

He seems to think that the voters will somehow go back to the “Conservatives”. Really? I doubt it.

Yes, I too recall the SDP [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_(UK)], I being nearly 5 years older than Coleman. The reasons for its failure were several, but to my mind the main one was that its policies were pretty much the same as those (much of) the Labour Party, the Liberal Party, and even the non-Thatcherite part of the Conservative Party.

Another point is that the SDP (rumps of which struggled on until 1988) was led by people who were the opposite of charismatic.

Leaving aside policy, the key difference between the SDP in 1981 and Reform UK in 2025, 44 years later, is the surrounding socio-political background. While the UK in 1981 was suffering from mass immigration, and on a large scale, the scale of that immigration was still minor compared to that of the past 25 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_immigration_to_the_United_Kingdom.

In fact, even that alarming graph does not tell the true or full story. For one thing, the pre-1945 figures would include those white/English/British people born in parts of the British Empire; also those born in various parts of mainland Europe.

Again, the later parts of that graph, showing a steep rise, are yet not entirely showing the true racial/ethnic picture, because huge numbers of blacks, browns, Chinese etc (or half so) are now being born here in the UK to parents either recent immigrants or themselves born here, and those millions are not “foreign born” in that sense.

Not even just migration-invasion; also migration-occupation.

Another point is that living standards, though suffering a blip in the early 1980s recession, were not steadily declining, as is now the case for most people. Also, society had not collapsed in other ways in 1981, or the later 1980s, contrary to what is now the case. The monarchy, armed forces, educational standards, police, courts etc were still broadly as they had been for decades, indeed to a fairly large extent as they had been since late-Victorian times. Look now!

As to Parliament itself, it may have been flawed in 1981, but still worked more or less as it had done for the preceding century. MPs had not become total “grifters” and expenses-blodgers, because that system was not yet in place to the extent it later was.

Also, MPs were mostly either from trade union or teaching/academic backgrounds (Labour) or armed forces/landowning/business backgrounds (Conservative). A different ethos. For most of them, politics was a field they had come into from somewhere else. The present-day MPs are, many of them along the lines of: Oxford/Cambridge PPE or similar degree, political adviser, a bit of fake charity work maybe, maybe a bit of local councillor activity, then MP. Result— rubbish.

In a word, the voters are very angry with the state of everything in this country. They know Farage is a bit of a snake-oil salesman, they know Reform UK MPs are unpolished, inexperienced etc (and have not had the training of many System MPs). The voters, however, are voting in anger against the System parties rather than for Reform as such. They know that Reform is merely the best of a bad bunch. They are voting for change, too, not for specific Reform policies. Indeed, in supporting remigration/repatriation etc, the voters are well ahead of Reform UK, well ahead of Farage, well ahead of Matt Goodwin.

In other words, that Coleman character has completely misread the situation.

Well, I can agree with Coleman on that point.

Again, similar story as in other recent polls: Reform 368 MPs, Labour 126, LibDems 59, SNP 38, Cons 30: https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Those and many other criminals need to be put up against a wall.

Here, I part company with Goodwin. After all, M&S has just posted a pre-tax profit of over £300M for the past financial year, and the other big supermarkets are in a similarly-fortunate position. Fewer staff, more self-service etc. Am I really supposed to get upset over those huge organizations losing out on even higher profits?

When it comes to small shopkeepers, it is different. The shoplifting upsurge really is hurting them.

The problem with making “minor” thefts punishable by harsh penalties is that it blurs the distinction between minor and major crimes, as in early 19thC England: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_Kingdom#Background. The adage was “hanged for a penny, hanged for a pound” (not completely accurate— the threshold triggering the death penalty was in fact, until 1832, not one penny but 12 pence, i.e. one shilling).

Incidentally, shoplifting did attract the death penalty 200 years ago, if the value of the goods stolen was high enough.

Goodwin and Reform seem to be drifting, in recent statements, into a kind of George Osborne, Dunce Duncan Smith dead-end, a position not far from that of the Con Party. Probably a mistake. If Reform starts to look like a copy of the Con Party, it will falter and fail.

Similar, yet again, to all recent polling.

That would place, inter alia, both Moscow and Petersburg within range of heavy missiles fired from Kiev-regime territory. Germany is asking to be devastated yet again. Why? Is the NWO/ZOG infliuence in German politics that strong? Must be…

There comes a time when you need to stop “poking the Bear”, because the Bear will not tolerate it, or you.

More about Macron

Many readers will have seen my 2019 assessment of Macron, contained within the following now six-years-old blog post:

In that blog post, I go into Macron’s background etc. Now, I have been referred to recent tweets about him:

[“I used to have a flat in Paris and a chateau near Albi, and my children went to school in France after Hill House in London, so I know the French scene from a native perspective. I am also blessed with friends in Switzerland, Italy and Germany, and it has to be said, Brigitte Macron’s frustrations, which have recently been on display as a result of the camera capturing her pushing her husband in his face in Vietnam, have been a source of understanding amongst the political classes for some time. This is neither the time nor the place to delve deeply into the Gay Paree scene, to which only Noel Coward could do justice. My YouTube channel, on the other hand, allows me to penetrate more deeply into the hard partying of Emmanuel Macron and his circle of elite and very handsome gays, including Gabriel Attal, whom he appointed as Prime Minister and who now heads up his (political) party in the National Assembly, and the renowned counter tenor Philippe Jaroussky. If anyone cares to pick up this thread, I’d suggest tuning in to my YouTube channel at 4pm this afternoon.”]

Very interesting.

[“Allies of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz have reacted sharply to his words about lifting restrictions on military supplies to Ukraine, writes Politico. ” The chancellor has come under fire from within [his] own ranks for vague statements about whether Germany is ready to provide Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles that can strike deep into Russian territory ,” the publication said.“]

I should think so. For Germany to supply the Kiev regime with ever-more-powerful weapons might eventually result in Germany again becoming a battlefield, or even a charred and irradiated ruin.

Kemi Badenoch

Saw a few minutes of an interview on Sky News with the truly ridiculous Nigerian woman now supposedly leading the Conservative Party. She came out with the ridiculous statement that Israel is fighting Hamas as a proxy war for Britain!

Of course, we knew that she is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, but she is a total puppet, even compared to Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel government. Like a ventriloquist’s dummy.

Apart from that, she seemed unwilling to answer the questions posed about Israel’s disgusting behaviour in Gaza. In fact, like many blacks, she seems to think that the more, and the more emphatically, and the louder, she talks, the more intelligent she seems. In a word…no.

If the Conservative Party retains this massive bad joke as “leader”, it will face electoral collapse.

All sensible proposals from a former Labour Party press officer.

Starmer-stein’s government of cretins will not, of course, do anything of the sort. They have committed to following the wrong path, the sadistic/punitive path previously taken by Alistair Darling, David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith etc.

That former Labour press officer is still mainly in the “two main parties” ping-pong mindset; he is not alone— many others also still think like that.

Still, he is correct in his basic thesis, as I see it— that governments exist to govern, and today that means not just sitting in the seat of power and “defending the realm” from invasion etc (something which, taking it in a wide sense, has anyway not been done for at least 20 years), but actually accomplishing things for the people, and making them feel, if not “happy”, then at least content.

Starmer-stein’s government was doomed pretty much from the start.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14731867/mother-date-personal-trainer-police-officers-hospital.html

This is the young mum who found herself on a nightmare first date with a fitness instructor which ended in a police chase and a £250,000 pile-up that left seven police officers in hospital.

Mum of two Courtney Redfern, 27, was on her first date with Mayzar Azarbonyad, 20, when police tried to stop his powerful BMW M5 as he drove her home.

Despite Courtney’s protests, Iranian-born Azarbonyad put his foot down and led police on a terrifying high speed pursuit through Gateshead and onto the A1M towards Newcastle.”

[the woman involved]
[the defendant]
[the scene of the damage]

Last month Azarbonyad appeared at Newcastle Magistrates’ Court where he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, failing to stop twice and having no licence and no insurance during the crash.

The Iran-born defendant, who came to the UK in around 2020, also admitted a series of other driving offences, including driving without insurance or a licence on April 16th – a week after the collision.

Is this “peak UK 2025”? Ridiculous English slut leaves her two young children at home so that she can take cannabis and get ****** by a 20-y-o non-European migrant-invader, while said invader commits a whole list of offences in the country that wrongheadedly allowed him to stay in the first place (and that continues to tolerate his presence).

When you read a story like that (and there are many newspaper stories, daily, of similar if less spectacular type), you realize anew what a huge cultural and social (as well as political) national revolution is now required.

Diary Blog, 21 May 2025, with thoughts about GB News

Afternoon music

[Rembrandt, Man in Armour, believed to be a representation of the legendary Christian Rosenkreutz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Rosenkreuz]

GB News

I have been puzzling for some time regarding the ideology, if any, of GB News. Pseudo-nationalist, obviously largely “controlled opposition”, willing to help move the “Overton Window” re immigration, the failed “multicultural society”, immigration and migration invasion etc, yet painfully pro-Jewish lobby and pro-Israel.

GB News even allows the mendacious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA” Jew-Zionists to spout their lies unopposed, as does the “does anyone actually watch?” Talk TV (now online only). Why? (especially since “Slitherman”, the chief spokesperson for the “CAA”, was exposed several years ago, in open court, as a serial online troll and harasser of others, mainly women).

So I was interested to see the following tweet from Matt Goodwin, former academic, who is now more or less a Reform UK propagandist and, more recently, also a GB News presenter and commentator:

That person, Paul Marshall, is not only extremely wealthy (apparently, £875M as of last year, so probably far more by now), but also the mainstay of GB News.

In the financial year 2022-2023, GB News reported a loss of no less than £42M, and would certainly have disappeared had not Paul Marshall invested £41M at that point.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Marshall_(investor)

So from where comes the pro-Jewish, pro-Israel bias of GB News? I happened to notice that the said Marshall is married to a Jewish woman [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Marshall_(investor)#Personal_life], of which Wikipedia says more on its page about Paul Marshall’s son, one Winston Marshall, of whom I had not previously heard, but who is apparently a successful folk-rock banjoist and guitarist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Marshall#Early_life_and_family.

It is impossible to say for sure, on facts known, whether that personal connection has influenced the editorial line of GB News; I should say, though, that it is more likely than not.

The above reminds me that several other UK-based news outlets are owned by Jewish, pro-Jewish or pro-Israel families or groups. LBC radio is another such: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Media_%26_Entertainment; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Media_%26_Entertainment#History; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Tabor-King.

Incidentally, the “does anyone actually watch?” Talk TV is owned, ultimately, by the aged pro-Israel cuckold, Rupert Murdoch.

I would rather pay the expenses of the actual dog than those of the millions of metaphorical dogs.

A similar picture to all other recent opinion polls, though the Cons here are higher (the last opinion poll, from a different polling org, had them on only 16%).

Projection: Reform 345 MPs, and a substantial majority; Labour 131 MPs, LibDems 56, Cons 53, SNP 36 [etc]. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

On that basis, the Cons would be 4th-largest party in the Commons. Other recent predictions have had them as 5th-largest. Amazing, for a party which, only a year or two ago, was still at times spoken of as “the natural party of government” in the UK.

828 of the bastards. In a single day— and it is not yet even summer, when the Channel is sometimes as calm as a millpond…

Stop them.

The fact is, Britain was on the wrong side…or should have at least declared neutrality.

Yes. I noticed the anti-white bias in a BBC News report by one Sarah Smith this evening.

Ah, just saw Wikipedia about her. Turns out she is the daughter of the now-deceased Labour Party leader John Smith, who might have and probably would have become PM had he lived longer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Smith_(news_reporter)#Family].

Fact is, I was right, when halfwit Nelson Mandela took over in South Africa: I said then that South Africa would go the way of the rest of black-ruled sub-Saharan Africa (corrupt, violent, shambolic), but that SA would take longer to fall into the swamp because the proportion of whites in the population was far higher than had been the case in any other African country. At one time, it was as high as 22%; at present somewhere around 5%, probably:

Statistics South Africa asks people to describe themselves in the census in terms of five racial population groups.[167] The 2022 census figures for these groups were: Black African at 81%, Coloured at 8.2%, White at 7.3%, Indian or Asian at 2.7%, and Other/Unspecified at 0.5%.[9] The first census in 1911 showed that whites made up 22% of the population; this had declined to 16% by 1980.”

[Wikipedia]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa#Demographics.

Proportion of whites in SA population: 7.3% in 2022. Now? Maybe 5%, maybe still 6%, but declining, as Europeans find living in a black-ruled (though not run) country impossible.

As witness the bleating of Guardian scribblers.

Yes, Goodwin— with you on all that, but don’t forget to mention that the Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby is the major anti-free-speech bloc in the UK, and works 24/7 to repress free speech and freedom of expression.

(Ha, some hope, looking at GB News and its ownership. Goodwin knows which side his bread is buttered on…).

I suppose I am wavering between dark red and light blue on that poll.

If Britain can find its way to real social nationalism, we could even go to dark blue, but at present, the dark red is certainly more likely.

She is as thick as two short planks.

Diary Blog, 20 May 2025, including a few thoughts on the failure of Lucy Connolly’s appeal on sentence

Afternoon music

Lucy Connolly

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14730637/Tory-councillors-wife-social-media-rant-migrants-day-Southport-attack-loses-appeal-harsh-sentence.html

The heartbroken husband of Lucy Connolly who was jailed for posting an online rant over the Southport murders has condemned her appeal being dismissed today as ‘shocking and unfair’ – saying his wife is ‘not a right-wing thug’.

Ray Connolly said: ‘My wife Lucy is a good person and not a racist’, adding: ‘Lucy got more time in jail for one tweet than some paedophiles and domestic abusers get.’

Connolly, who is locked up at HMP Drake Hall, Staffordshire, had claimed to the Appeal Court last week that she had no idea what she was admitting to when she pleading guilty to a charge of inciting racial hatred.

In a written judgment, Lord Justice Holroyde, said: ‘There is no arguable basis on which it could be said that the sentence imposed by the judge was manifestly excessive.”

[Daily Mail]

Pity that the husband plays the System/msm game by adopting their language, though.

I had thought that the Court of Appeal would probably cut the sentence, allowing for the release of the appellant not immediately, but within a few weeks.

I admit I was mistaken. I had underestimated the pressure on the Court (however obliquely, so be it) from the evil Labour Friends of Israel government of Starmer-stein, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves etc.

As for the ridiculous dictum of Holroyde L.J., quoted above, what can one say? Imagine a Lord Justice of Appeal thinking that a sentence of over 2.5 years for having posted a brief comment on social media is just about right… Ludicrous.

It is too late now, of course, but I think that Lucy Connolly should not have pleaded guilty in the first place.

Looking at the words she used in her social media comment, and at the construction of the sentences, it certainly would have been arguable that the words used, and in the way they were used, and in the context of where they were posted, did not in fact amount to incitement at all.

I think that Lucy Connolly could certainly have taken her chances before a jury, particularly if most of the jury had been echt-English. Also, even had she been convicted after a jury trial, the hysteria of the summer of 2024 would by then have abated, and the sentence would probably have been far less harsh, in my view.

This case and sentence were surely both nakedly political. The unfortunate lady has been used as a kind of scapegoat and example by Starmer-stein and fake Labour. The aim was wider than merely to discourage “rioters” (protesters) in the long hot summer of 2024; it was to discourage social media and other online dissent generally, and into the future.

Politically, though, Starmer-stein has misread the room (again). The Lucy Connolly case will backfire on him.

Exactly (that last point), but of course Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty at first instance (for whatever reason), and so this appeal has been on sentence alone.

In fact, the Crown case was never tested at trial, because the defendant pleaded guilty.

Exactly. Which is one reason why Lucy Connolly should have pleaded Not Guilty. She might then have had, even had she been convicted, a good arguable appeal point.

I have to say that, if her original solicitor advised a guilty plea on the basis that she had no defence, she was probably badly advised.

Ha. That is a very topical way of putting it…

No-one now is going to vote Con Party, for several reasons. First of all because it is now led, if such is the bon mot, by a Nigerian woman who has in the past called British workers “idlers“, and who, though born in London (her parents having come to London precisely for that purpose, to get her a British passport), was brought up in the alien surroundings of Nigeria and the USA. She only came back to her place of birth aged 16 or 17.

One might add that she is one more System MP whose CV looks better from a distance than it does close-up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemi_Badenoch].

Secondly, the Conservative Party is partly, one might argue mainly, to blame for the terrible state the UK is in, and is going towards. 14 years of Con Party misgovernment. As I predicted, of course, the fake Labour government of Starmer-stein is as bad, or worse (many think worse), but that does not mean that many voters want to turn back the clock to 2010, 2015, 2017, or 2019.

The only people likely to vote Con now are elderly people who have always voted Con and who do not really keep up with events political or societal; those, and/or the affluent and wealthy who think that they would pay less tax under a Con government. Starmer-Labour, though, is almost indistinguishable from the Con Party in that respect.

There is a floor to Con Party support. I myself would estimate that floor as being somewhere around 15% but, having said that, if it were to look that the Cons had very little support and were therefore in perceivedly “wasted vote” territory, then even that floor might fall through.

On the basis of the latest opinion poll, the Commons might consist of 346 Reform members, 145 Labour, 73 LibDem, 39 SNP, and 17 Cons.

Matt Goodwin is therefore not right to say that the Conservative Party is now in 4th place. In terms of likely Commons seats, they are in 5th place; the 2% UK vote of the SNP is concentrated in Scottish seats, i.e. only about an eighth of all UK seats. You see the result predicted: SNP 39, Cons 17. Terminal for the Con Party…
