https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/08/uk-may-approve-bee-killing-pesticide-despite-election-promise-to-ban-it

UK ministers are considering allowing the use of a bee-killing pesticide next year despite promising during the election to ban it.

Neonicotinoids are banned in the EU because they are toxic to bees but have been authorised for use every year in the UK since 2021.

During this summer’s election campaign, Keir Starmer said: “The new government will ban neonicotinoid pesticides imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam due to their impact on bees.”

So do it. Ban their use.

Jack the Ripper

https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/uk-world-news/jack-ripper-identified-aaron-kosminski-9611598

This is the face of the world’s most notorious serial killer, according to an author who has been delving into the Jack the Ripper case for nearly 30 years.

Ripper investigator Russell Edwards utilised cutting-edge facial reconstruction technology to generate this CGI black and white image of how the murderer would have appeared at the time.

Mr Edwards used DNA evidence from the shawl of one of the victims to “prove” that Jack the Ripper was in fact Aaron Kosminski, a Jewish immigrant from Poland who was a prime suspect during the gruesome Whitechapel murders.

During the investigation into the murders, Dr Robert Anderson, head of the London Criminal Investigation Department, had identified Kosminski as a key suspect. Confidential police reports, later published in 1894 as the Macnaghten Memorandum, recorded that detectives believed he harboured a “great hatred of women, specially of the prostitute class, and had strong homicidal tendencies”.

Even then, political correctness made them hesitant to point the finger at a Jew, fearing accusations of anti-Semitism.

Mr Edwards’ further investigations suggest that the infamous murderer escaped justice due to his brother’s connections with freemasonry, and he also proposes theories about the reasons behind the gruesome mutilations.

In February 2023, Mr Edwards received several photos, one of which featured 15 men all sporting handlebar moustaches and dressed uniformly in suits with overcoats. These men were identified as members of the Lodge of Israel, a Freemason group established for Jewish immigrants in Britain.

Mr Edwards is of the belief that the Ripper was not a random mutilator, but was executing…Masonic instructions. He also suspects that his brother’s Masonic connections likely shielded his younger sibling from arrest to prevent backlash against the Jews.

Forty years of (mainly) decline…

The share of the USA in the world economy at the end of Joe Biden’s presidential term will fall to 14.76 percent – the minimum in modern history, RIA Novosti calculated according to data from the World Bank and the IMF. At the same time, the most noticeable growth in participation in the global economy was in India (0.84 p.p.), China (0.6 p.p.), Turkey (0.32 p.p.) and Russia (0.15 p.p. .p.).

Ah…Russian gold. Give me some…

Is the USA belatedly waking up to the fact that Israel just takes, giving the USA nothing at all but a headache? The tail has been wagging the dog for far too long, mainly because the Israel lobby in the USA controls Congress.

The Ukrainian Parliament has adopted a bill banning the mobilization of citizens aged 18 to 25, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko reported. They came to their senses when they had already exterminated most of the young. Apparently, they realized that there would be no one to raise the demographics.

Exactly what I have been saying on the blog for nearly 3 years now. Ukraine is in danger of disappearing as a people.

Maybe. What is Farage’s game? What is Goodwin’s?

So the ultimate choice offered to Conservative Party members, and eventually to the voters, will be—

1. A Nigerian woman married to a banker; or

2. A corrupt, albeit or presumably English/British, nasty type, married to a Jewish woman lawyer.

Both unacceptable.

As I guessed, Tugendhat would have been more popular with the voters overall, and even former/2024 Conservative voters, or at least less unpopular.

The sort of madness and injustice so typical of Britain in 2024.

Accurate… I spent 9 months in East Africa. It’s very hard to pinpoint exactly why it’s such a mess.

They have an infantile mentality and absolutely no commercial sense.

I once went about 10 miles down the road, in the middle of nowhere on the way to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and every 50 meters there was someone selling watermelon. I said to the driver, “Everyone is selling exactly the same product. Why don’t they try making watermelon juice or something different to stand out?” He replied, “But why would we do that? We like melon!”

That attitude was everywhere. In fact, I would sometimes meet Westerners who would say, “Isn’t it amazing how they’ve kept this piece of junk car going for 30 years?” And I’d reply, “It’s more amazing that we have automated car factories with robots.” They literally only focus on the immediate need. “Car not go today, car fixed with string and tape.

The only two factors preventing Britain and other European countries from retaking direct control of Africa, of all of Africa, are 1. socio-political will and 2. the fact that the (((globalists))) find it more convenient to exploit Africa’s resources via corrupt tiny “elites” in each fake African “state” (and to hell with the environment, the forests, the wildlife, and the African people themselves).

The fact is that European rule would benefit all, not least the ordinary Africans.

Incidentally, it would be a great deal easier than many imagine for Europe to reconquer Africa militarily. Only the two factors already noted make it at all hard.

Illiterate travel

I have just read this, https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/travel/sarajevo-guide-balkans-bosnia-and-herzegovina-b1176081.html, a travel piece in what I still call the Evening Standard, and written by well-known columnist Suzanne Moore. Not hugely interesting anyway, but then absurdly badly-written. An essay by a 10-year-old, at best. Or is the sub-editing to blame? Maybe someone pushed a few of the wrong buttons. Extraordinary. Read it and see.

I have read other pieces by Suzanne Moore which were written properly, so maybe it was the fault of the Standard.

Pretty accurate summing-up of “Starmer-ism”, in my opinion, “Blairism without the good bits“, though I do not recall many good bits then either, speaking personally.

As far as assisted dying is concerned, I see it as a generally well-meaning attempt to be kind, which however, put into policy and law, is the start of a slide to, eventually, somewhere down the line, killing people for convenience or money.

HS2 was a vanity project that never should have been approved. As far as I know, though, the other rail projects are or were useful.

The “fake history” of the 1970s

That’s because you, “Steve Zodiac”, are apparently telling your grandchildren a load of old hooey…

I have blogged in the past about how very many people (including, weirdly, many who were at least in their teens then, and so actually of an age to remember) say, and even perhaps believe, that the 1970s in the UK were some kind of dark age in which the electricity was off most of the time, in which bodies were left unburied by reason of industrial action, in which trains and buses rarely ran, in which rubbish piled up in the towns and cities, in which there was a “three day week” when offices and factories were closed for four days each week, and in which life was generally miserable (for example, food was terrible, they say).

The above-noted fabled dystopia was, we are told, the result of overreaching trade union power and Labour misgovernment.

Where to start?

First of all, the party in power for the first 4 years of the 1970s was the Conservative Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_United_Kingdom_general_election, and of course Mrs Thatcher won again for the Conservatives in 1979: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_United_Kingdom_general_election.

In other words, out of the 10 years, Labour was in power for about 6 years. Labour government was in place from the early 1960s until mid-1970, then from early 1974 until mid-1979.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election.

One interesting fact is that, in the 1966 General Election, the “two main parties” (Lab/Con) got exactly 98% of Commons seats on just under 90% of the popular vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_United_Kingdom_general_election#Results.

Compare to 2024: 81.8% of seats based on 57.4% of the popular vote.

In 1966, the winning party (Labour) got 48% of the popular vote, the losing Conservatives 41.9%.

In 2024, Labour got 33.7%, and the losing Conservatives only 23.7%.

The electoral system has become not just unfair but also illogical and ridiculous. It no longer reflects reality.

Reverting to the general situation in the 1970s, the much-talked-about “Three Day Week” only affected, directly, commercial operations (which were banned from using electricity on the other four days). The Three Day Week only lasted for two months. Out of 10 years (120 months).

I saw the Three Day Week firsthand. I was working, aged just 18, as supposed assistant manager in a very small commercial intelligence outfit based in the Strand (London). The office only had 5 people including me, though we did have a network of mostly ad-hoc agents all over the southern and eastern parts of England (anywhere south or southwest of The Wash). Much of the work was in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Essex. The agents were often retired Army officers who, on being contacted, would —eagerly— say something such as “right-oh, old boy. I’ll fire up the Rover and get onto it.”

I must do a blog post sometime about it.

There were, in the early 1970s, strikes by coal miners etc, resulting in a few brief power cuts (“outages”, as the Americans say), but they lasted for a few hours a day, for a few days. Out of 10 years, again.

In the “Winter of Discontent” (1978-79), there were, for a few weeks, situations in some towns and cities whereby rubbish piled up, yes; that much of the “fable” is true, but only for a brief time. As for the “bodies left unburied“, that only applied in Liverpool and Manchester and only for 14 days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent#Gravediggers’_strike.

In fact, though the 1970s had its problems political, social, economic, Britain still had possibilities. The population was still almost entirely white Northern European, new ideas and projects were around or developing (the Milton Keynes conurbation, the Open University, new express trains, cross-Channel hovercraft etc), and the absurd and damaging house-price madness, though it had started, was still in its early stages.

Britain still had a functioning Army, Navy, Air Force (etc), and a police force that mainly did its expected job and was not usually the sort of poundshop Stasi we now see, snooping on or “monitoring” the expression of views and opinions.

Incidentally, the food was OK back then on the whole. Slightly less cosmopolitan, yes, but in the South of England at least, foreign foods such as hummus, taramasalata, olives, Indian, Chinese, etc were ubiquitous. In fact, some food was better and more available back then.

What I find worrying is not only that people who were not there, or were small children, are convinced that England in 1970-1979 was a dark and gloomy place; more that people who were there seem to have substituted, for what actually happened, a kind of folk-tale.

As for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Largan, who was parachuted into the constituency of High Peak (Derbyshire) and served as MP from GE 2019 to GE 2024, he was only born in 1987.

If people cannot recall accurately the 1970s, how much less accurate must be the “memories”, often publicized, of the 1930s and 1940s.

Four corrupt and (((owned))) idiots-on-sticks. Useless.

The individual shouting is one of “the usual suspects” (((them))). Odds-on. (and despite the facemask muzzle).

I strongly support that. I was quite shocked to hear, in 1989, in Warsaw, and from the lips of a Polish girl I knew slightly, that my old haunt, Raoul’s (cafe) in Little Venice (London), where she had worked (she used to serve me my coffees) would take a high percentage of the tips given to the wait staff. That money would, so I was told, go to the woman who owned the cafe. Disgraceful.

Incidentally, the manager of the cafe at that time was a very pleasant young-ish Lebanese, who referred to the Jews who were a fairly large proportion of the clientele as “the Chosen“. Sardonic.

Apropos of nothing much, that Lebanese seemed to regard me as omniscient when it came to knowing who —using the cafe— was who. By way of example, I remember him asking once, in the 1990s, who was the black man sitting with a rather spectacularly-dressed black —I think African— woman. The manager asked me to go into the cafe —I was seated outside— and pretend to order something so that I could take a look.

I was able to identify the black man as Paul Boateng [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Boateng#Member_of_Parliament]. I had seen Boateng previously, not only on TV but also in person, when he was at Harrow Crown Court as Counsel in 1992 or 1993. It may be that he lived somewhere in the Maida Vale area; I do not know.

The brainwashing fear propaganda has deeply embedded itself in the mass psyche. Only a quarter of the population are awake to the realities, even now, years later.

In any case, the question is based on the false assumption that more inhabitants means greater “growth”. A house of cards. Fake.

Pretty damning. I myself would be firmly of the “they had none” persuasion.

Reform UK is still not the choice of most people or even a plurality. In my view, the people want, but subconsciously, social nationalism, but that has not come to expression either in the mass psyche or in objective reality— the movement and/or party does not exist. Not yet, anyway.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/oct/03/gp-injected-mothers-partner-flesh-eating-chemical-inheritance-kwan-patrick-ohara-newcastle

A GP worried about his inheritance disguised himself as a nurse and injected deadly poison into his victim, who thought he was getting a home-visit Covid booster, a court has heard.

Thomas Kwan was not injecting Covid vaccine into Patrick O’Hara, prosecutors allege, but a poison that gave O’Hara a rare and life-threatening flesh-eating disease.

“Sometimes, occasionally perhaps, the truth really is stranger than fiction,” said Peter Makepeace KC as he opened the prosecution case against Kwan at Newcastle crown court on Thursday.

Kwan, 53, is accused of attempting to murder O’Hara, his mother’s long-term partner and a “potential impediment” to him inheriting her estate.

The court heard Kwan devised an intricate plan to kill 71-year-old O’Hara, who lived in Newcastle with Kwan’s mother, by disguising himself as a community nurse and injecting him with poison.

Makepeace said the plan involved Kwan forging NHS documentation, disguising himself, using false number plates, and booking in to a hotel using a false name.

Police recovered a photograph from Kwan’s computer of him in disguise with a wig, beard and moustache.

“It was an audacious plan,” Makepeace told the jury. “It was a plan to murder a man in plain sight, to murder a man right in front of his own mother’s eyes, that man’s life partner.

[Guardian]

Looks like a case so unusual that it may go down in criminal history, and be found in “true crime” anthologies, in television series etc.

The Prosecution Counsel in the case is someone with whom I was once acquainted, we both being part of a group of about 7 or 8 Bar students grouped together for the “Practical Exercises” which were then (1987-88) part of the Bar Finals course at the Inns of Court School of Law in London. All our names began with “M”. After that time, I only encountered Makepeace a few times: once or twice in a robing room (where barristers get changed for court) at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, I appearing at the High Court, he in the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division); and once at the christening of a baby, child of two others of the same Bar School group. He was then based at York.

Early 1990s, around 1994. Long ago.

I took “the road less travelled” after that…

Labour MP Rosie Duffield has resigned the Labour whip with immediate effect.

Her resignation pulls no punches:

“As Prime Minister, your managerial and technocratic approach, and lack of basic politics and political instincts, have come crashing down on us as a party after we worked so hard, promised so much, and waited a long fourteen years to be mandated by the British public to return to power

Since the change of government in July, the revelations of hypocrisy have been staggering and increasingly outrageous.

I cannot put into words how angry I and my colleagues are at your total lack of understanding about how you have made us all appear.

How dare you take our longed-for victory, the electorate’s sacred and precious trust, and throw it back in their individual faces and the faces of dedicated and hardworking Labour MPs?!

The sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. I am so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party.”

I might not agree on everything with Rosie Duffield (specifically, her support for Israel and the Jewish lobby), but she certainly has principle. These days, in the political milieu, that is as rare and as valuable as rubies.

Starmer shows no embarrassment because he is not really a politician, let alone a statesman, but a technician, put into power by the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby to do a job: firstly to get rid of Corbyn and any non-Zionists in Labour, secondly to impose the ZOG/NWO regime, meaning pro-Israel and pro-“Ukraine” (the Zelensky Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) internationally, and a kind of “great reset” domestically; thirdly, to destroy what little free speech and freedom of expression still exists in the UK, fourthly, to impose a “woke” dictatorship intent on shipping into the UK as many non-whites as possible.

Interesting. Something of which I was previously unaware. I suppose it might just be co-incidence, but there so often do seem to be so many “co-incidences”…

I think that it goes deeper than that.

That kind of Jewish lobby (which after 1948 became also an Israel/State of Israel lobby) did exist prior to WW2. Churchill was its main agent; but it did not really or fully embed itself until after 1989, in the 1990s. Blair was, in this as in so many other negative things, the one who opened up the portal of darkness.

Ha. Seems that her principles do not extend as far as giving up, or risking having to give up, the pay and perks of an MP. She understands all too well that, in a rigged system like this, the voting masses only vote for a label, at least 99% of the time. Which makes me wonder why she has left Labour. Maybe she will jump to Reform UK. Seems unlikely, though, especially in view of her solid electoral support at GE 2024— 41.4%, with Cons second on 23%.

I was just looking at Rosie Duffield’s bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Duffield. Not very impressive; not at all. The main thing that stands out is her pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby stance. I have noticed that the prolific and fanatical Jewish tweeters on Twitter/X always support her— a very bad sign.

Rosie Duffield cannot return to a well-paid outside profession or career, because she never had one. She dropped out of school at 16, and her main activity apart from being a mother was as a teaching assistant for a number of years. She was 46 when she became an MP in 2017.

Maybe Rosie Duffield, in the end, is just quite genuinely horrified by the evident unfitness of Starmer-Labour, and has simply decided to sit it out as an MP for the next 4+ years and then either not stand for re-election or maybe stand for Reform UK or as Independent. She might yet have a chance if she goes to Reform and if Reform is by then the main challenging party.

She is older than she looks and (born 1971) is now 53. By 2029, she will be 58. Perhaps she has little interest in continuing beyond that point.

As for Starmer, I said on the blog, about a week or so after GE 2024, that he had already failed in government.

That horrible creature of Evil, Jacinda Ardern, has been a major player in the attempt to create a world anti-white, anti-free speech dictatorship. New Zealand may be far away from almost everywhere but until about 30 years ago was an almost entirely English/Scottish new-ish society. That, of course, had to be trashed… How did they do it? Same as everywhere else of importance— imported non-white populations, and destroyed free speech.

People talk a lot of nonsense about how the white settlers took over the existing Maori state in the 19thC. There is of course a kernel of truth in that, but the main Maori invasion and/or settlement was in the 14thC AD, only c.400 years before the white European settlement. In any case, after the Europeans and Maori came to agreement, New Zealand was a progressive and peaceful society until the late 20thC.

Jacinda Ardern worked at a fairly high level for the UK Labour Party under Blair-Brown for 1-2 years before relocating back to New Zealand.

15 years as MP, of which about 6 were also years as Prime Minister (2017-2023).

One puzzling aspect of Jacinda Ardern’s political regime is that she came to power as Prime Minister with a rather small amount of capital, yet is now said to be worth tens of millions of NZ dollars. How?

Anyone who has lived in the USA knows to what extent the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby controls the major parts of the news media (TV stations, radio stations, the newspapers, magazines etc). I do not hear John Kerry talking about that, though…

While admittedly not germane to the tweet above, I do find it puzzling that the parents of Ed and David Miliband were supposedly “poor refugees” “fleeing” “Nazi-ism”, so how did they obviously have so much money?

Miliband was born in the Fitzrovia district of Central London to Polish Jewish immigrants Marion Kozak and Ralph Miliband, a Marxist intellectual and native of Brussels who fled Belgium during World War II. He graduated from Corpus Christi College, Oxford and later from the London School of Economics.”

[Wikipedia]

Belgian-born Marxist sociologist Ralph Miliband and Polish-born Marion Kozak [were] both from Polish Jewish families.[1][7][8] The latter was a teacher before she became a homemaker. He was given the middle name of “Wright” after the American sociologist C. Wright Mills, a friend of his father.[9] He has said “I am the child of Jewish immigrants and that is a very important part of my identity.”[7]

Both his Polish Jewish paternal grandparents lived in the Jewish quarter of Warsaw. His paternal grandfather, Samuel, a trained leather worker, served in the Red Army in the Polish–Soviet War of 1919–1921 before moving to Belgium.[10][11] His paternal grandmother, Renia (later known as Renée), also moved to Belgium, where she first met Sam, and the couple married in 1923.[12]

The German invasion of Belgium in May 1940 split the Miliband family in half: Ralph and father Samuel fled to England,[13] while Ralph’s mother Renée and baby sister Nan stayed behind for the duration of the war. They were not reunited until 1950.”

[Wikipedia]

Miliband’s parents grew up in the impoverished Jewish quarter of Warsaw, Poland. His father Samuel Miliband (1895–1966) was a member of the socialist Jewish Labour Bund in Warsaw.[11]

[Wikipedia]

Ralph married Polish-born Marion Kozak in September 1961.[25] She was the daughter of a steel manufacturer, David Kozak, with a Polish Jewish heritage, and also one of his former students at the LSE. They made a home in Primrose Hill, and later in Bolton Gardens, South Kensington, and had two sons, David in 1965 and Edward in 1969.

So they flee penniless, supposedly, from mainland Europe, and not only get jobs in London; they have a house or apartment (I think house), firstly in the affluent area of Primrose Hill, and then in the extremely affluent/wealthy area of The Boltons, in South Kensington.

Even in the 1950s and 1960s, those were very expensive areas.

Moreover, their two children both go to university, and not just any university but Oxford (Corpus Christi).

Ed Miliband had so much money that, when he became Labour Party leader, Jeremy Paxman actually taxed him in interview with the question as to whether he had ever had trouble paying a bill. He floundered.

I suppose that the riches came from the maternal side: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Kozak#Early_life_and_education

Puzzling all the same. We always hear how the “Nazis” confiscated all Jewish property. Does that mean that those Jews had riches stashed in other countries? If so, at least some “Nazi” propaganda would seem to be based on truth…

Labour are rubbish (and malicious), the equally-fake Conservative Party is equally-rubbish (the only reason Labour are in government is because almost all voters wanted the Cons out rather than Lab in).

People are looking for a new way forward. At present, only Reform UK, more or less “controlled opposition”, is looking likely to be able to mount an electoral challenge of any significance any time soon, but what Britain really needs is social nationalism.

I like that kind of aerial travelogue, and this one was done reasonably well, except that the (Northern English) voiceover insisted on using the term “Nazi” when she meant “German“, as in potential “Nazi invasion” of the UK, or “Nazi bombs” falling on this or that city. I was glad, though, to see/hear the amusingly nerdy young custodian (?) or historian at Bletchley Park refer, correctly, to the encrypted matter and codes being studied as “German“, rather than “Nazi“.

Ukrainian paratroopers fighting in Russia’s Kursk region have “broken through” into a new, unspecified section of the Russian border, a Ukrainian brigade said Monday as battles rage on inside Russia and various parts of eastern Ukraine.

Fighters with Ukraine’s 95th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade “have broken through a section of the Russian border,” the brigade said in a post to the messaging app Telegram.

This is the second successful operation to break through the Russian border since the start of the operation in the Kursk region of Russia,” the brigade said. The Ukrainian brigade did not specify where along the border fighters had “broken through” or when the reported operation took place.

Ukraine is more than six weeks into its surprise incursion into Kursk, which borders the country’s northeast. Kyiv said in early September that it had captured 100 settlements and around 500 square miles of territory as Moscow sluggishly attempted to fend off the advance.

In recent weeks, Western analysts have suggested that Russia has reclaimed territory south of Korenovo, which, along with the town of Sudzha to the southeast, was a focus of Ukraine’s push.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this past Friday that the offensive against Kursk had pulled approximately 40,000 Russian soldiers into the area.

I see few if any analyses in the msm as to the Kiev-regime strategic plan in relation to the Kursk incursion.

After all, Russia is not some sparsely-populated part of Africa, almost a terra nullius. It would be simply impossible, to take the thought ad absurdum, for the Kiev regime to push beyond Kursk city; and even if that were ever to happen, what then? Advance the remaining 327 miles (527 km) to Moscow? How would the Kiev regime keep its columns supplied? How could it ward off flanking attacks? Answer: it couldn’t.

Also, having (notionally) reached the Moscow region, how could a few thousands or tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops take and then control a city with an urban population of about 18M, and a metro-area population of 22M? (with many more millions in the region). Answer: they could not.

Of course, my argument is rather a straw man; the idea of the Kiev-regime forces getting even beyond the city of Kursk (and they have not even managed to get that far so far) is ridiculous. They have neither the manpower nor the resupply capability.

Incidentally, the Russian Army, overall, has an active host of about 1.5M soldiers, not including all reserves and quite-easily-mobilized others.

My main point is that Zelensky’s Kursk incursion has no strategic sense behind it. There is no point to it beyond (as I blogged when it happened, 6 weeks ago) making a public relations display to the Western states supplying the Kiev regime with money, arms, ammunition, and other materiel.

We are told that the big idea behind the Kursk incursion was to draw away Russian troops from the Donetsk front. Well, all right (and it is at least claimed that the Russians have redeployed 40,000 troops to the Kursk region, though it is unclear what proportion were from the Donetsk front), but Russian forces are still advancing strongly on the Donetsk front, even without the transferred 40,000 or however many.

As far as I can see, the Kursk incursion was strategically misconceived and achieves nothing, and would achieve nothing even were Russian troops to simply withdraw and allow the Kiev-regime forces to remain in loose occupation of the border area in that sector, or even the whole of the Kursk oblast.

Of course, Putin and his Stavka (high command) cannot do that (withdraw, in the manner of Kutuzov) because Russian public opinion would not allow it (the apparent conquest of Russian territory, unchallenged).

It is all very well to say that “Russia does not have public opinion” but even a near-autocrat such as Putin must take his people’s sensibilities into account.

The “smart move” would be to withdraw and withdraw into the Russian prostor (endless space), but that is politically impossible. The Russian forces therefore block further Kiev-regime advances in the Kursk region, while pounding the resupply route or routes to the west, inside Ukraine itself, in the border area.

On the Donetsk front, the Kiev-regime forces are falling back: https://www.slobodenpecat.mk/en/ruskata-armija-uspea-da-ja-probie-ukrainsakta-odbrana-kaj-ugledar/.

I too expected Starmer-Labour to crash and burn fairly quickly, and said so on the blog well prior to the 2024 General Election, as well as immediately following it.

Firstly, because only 4 out of 20 people voted Labour in 2024; secondly, because Labour’s “diversity”/pro-Israel/”austerity”/pro-immigration policies are all the exact opposite of what most people want; thirdly, the sheer rock-bottom quality of most Labour MPs and ministers. Lammy is only one of many such.

Starmer and his freeloading cabal are smug inside their fake “landslide” Commons majority. They think nothing can touch them for 4 years or more. That is what the “Conservative” Party MPs thought about their own situation not so long ago.

Apres— le deluge

A lot of that is because Starmer was a barrister from age 24 (having been to university for both a first degree and a post-graduate one): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer.

As a former barrister myself (later wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred for political reasons at the behest of the Jewish lobby), I was sometimes surprised at how naive many barristers are, especially those who (unlike me) had never done any other kind of work.

Even today, when the Bar is more “diverse” (and far less prestigious) than it used to be, it remains to some extent a cloistered bubble. Starmer spent his professional life in that bubble before swapping it for another bubble, the Westminster Bubble.

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

Look at his reactions to the street protests. He immediately retreated into his comfort zone (he was DPP for several years) and started to threaten people with long sentences of imprisonment and (quite wrongly) “no bail pending trial and/or sentence”.

Even before GE 2024, I was warning about Starmer on the blog, noting Khrushchev’s view of Malenkov and about how to elevate the “file clerk type” to supreme power was always a mistake.

Starmer is isolated psychologically for a number of reasons. His professional Bar background. His years as DPP and, before that, as “human rights adviser” to the police and (I think, not sure) MI5 in Northern Ireland. His marriage to a part-Jewish woman, their children being brought up as if Jewish (despite being in fact only 1/4 Jewish), meaning that Starmer engages in all those Jewish ritual dinners and religious commemorations etc.

There is another point. Starmer has always had plenty of money, at least after his student days. He took letters patent as QC (now KC) at age 39. You are talking about an income, for much of his professional life, in the hundreds of thousands per year. Naturally, he finds it hard to understand or care about British pensioners trying to afford heating and other expenses.

I believe that I am correct in stating that Starmer and his wife also own a number (maybe 8) buy-to-let properties.

Starmer should never have become Prime Minister.

Another idiot who thinks that she is terribly clever. Another would-be dictator. Another member of Labour Friends of Israel…

In fact, Yvette Cooper was investigated by the police for fraud arising out of her expenses claims during the 2005-2010 Parliament, and was lucky to escape prosecution, along with her equally-moneygrasping husband, Ed Balls.

Yes. She held up a “refugees welcome” placard. She encouraged the migration-invasion of this country by blacks and browns (etc) from all the worst parts of the world.

I have blogged in the past about my own experiences: the UK police absolutely useless in doing what most people would regard as their headline job, but pathetically eager to do the bidding of the Jewish lobby in repressing free speech and freedom of expression by me and others.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan…

717 invaders landed yesterday, 707 the day before (etc). 1,424 in 48 hours. Each costs about £200 a day to shelter, feed, give pocket-money, provide services.

Ecce the “Lord Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice, Shabana Mahmood, a Pakistani woman whose entire pre-political legal career lasted 3 years, most of which time she spent as a “gopher” in a firm of solicitors…

Talking point

Brian Sewell was a “legend”, as people now say. Camp to the hilt, in the 1980s and 1990s he was nonetheless a kind of mascot for unlikely groups of people, especially in London, people such as taxi drivers and construction workers.

That is, in part, because the msm-trumpeted “Labour landslide” was a fake anyway— only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted Labour.

Still, one has to admit that, for a woman who got “knocked-up” at 16, and who has really no substantial educational or work background, let alone cultural depth, Angela Rayner really has hit the Lotto in terms of careerism. “Deputy Prime Minister”, no less…

As frequently blogged previously, Starmer-Labour is “Blair-Brown New Labour Mark 2” but, in Marx’s words, “first time tragedy, second time farce“…

“New Labour” did various things, implemented various policies, mostly wrongheaded in either conception or implementation, or funding, or all three, but it was at least attempting to do things, to solve perceived problems.

I always had the impression about Starmer-Labour, even before it took over the reins of power, that it merely wanted to be in government, but had no real programme (a bit like Cameron-Levita’s government).

Brainless-seeming woman, “full-time carer” and “mum of five“, attending Labour Party Conference, and loving both thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity-hire” David Lammy and the Ukrainian thug who is the current ambassador of the Kiev regime in the UK.

Britain is back!“, says Lammy. Does he mean “…black“? Oh, no, wait a minute…that would be 2034, or 2044 or 2054...(etc).

Frighteningly thick, whatever.

The UK msm is not much reporting the war in Ukraine at present. That probably means that Russian forces continue to advance, particularly in the Donetsk region.

Military briefing: Russia ‘overwhelms’ Ukrainian forces on eastern front.”

[https://www.ft.com/content/b4baf76b-294d-496e-8e51-7ed1b8b0e6ca]

A long and interesting report from the Financial Times, from a correspondent presently in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, almost on the front-line, and the report published only 7 hours ago.

Looks as if the situation in that region of Eastern Ukraine is at a tipping point. Russian forces will soon prevail, precipitating a strategic withdrawal or even rout of Kiev-regime forces, and a huge strategic advantage for the Russian side.

Once the Kiev-regime incursion in the Kursk region of Russia, by north-eastern Ukraine, falters and fails, as seems inevitable, the Russian Stavka (high command) will be able to transfer thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of battle-hardened troops back to the Donetsk region front, thus further pressuring the Kiev-regime forces there.

One must feel sorry for those hapless Kiev-regime soldiers, sent to fight, inadequately trained, under poor field commanders and poor strategists, for the Jewish-Zionist regime in Kiev, all under cover of a fake “Ukrainian nationalism” which is merely doing the will of foreign NWO/ZOG cabals.

War is hell, of course, and in some respects becoming ever more hellish now that drones dominate the infantry battlefield, with robot tanks and robot soldiers probably not far down the line.

No dissent allowed. Young heckler grabbed by his throat by Labour goons, and hustled out, getting roughed-up a bit (even where the cameras are filming).

Actually, look at the audience. Despite much said about Labour and “youth”, most of that audience of Labour loyalists consists of grey-haired and white-haired people, especially on the tiers at the back and sides of the hall.

A pretty small audience, too, compared to the Labour conferences of the past (1970s, 1980s).

Of course, in the past, the major Labour figures had weight, and some of them (Denis Healey, Harold Wilson, Michael Foot, Roy Jenkins etc) had genuine intellectual depth. Not that I agreed with much of what they had to say, but they were not dummies, not even that old humbug and hypocrite Michael Foot.

Now look at the top Labour-label idiots! Starmer is the one-eyed man in the country of the blind, and they therefore made him “king for a day”. Angela Rayner (need one say more?). Rachel Reeves. David Lammy, that deadhead…(etc). Shockingly low-quality.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13881251/Israel-conflict-Middle-East-enemies-killing-180-Hezbollah-strikes-Lebanon.html

Israel’s ‘war on five fronts’: How Jewish state faces all-out conflict against its Middle Eastern enemies after ‘killing hundreds’ in latest Hezbollah strikes as Lebanon accuses it of carrying out an ‘extermination’.

Israel intensified the conflict in the Middle East to new levels today, killing more than 180 people in Lebanon in the latest attacks since military officials declared a ‘new phase’ of war against Hezbollah had begun last week.

On Tuesday, Mossad is thought to have orchestrated one of the most psychologically damaging clandestine attacks in recent memory, injuring thousands of Hezbollah members with exploding pagers and radios across two days.

Then on Friday, the IDF delivered a punishing strike that eliminated a top Hezbollah commander along with some 37 other militiamen and civilians, before continuing aerial bombardments over the weekend and into this morning. 

Hezbollah in 2006 reportedly had some 15,000 rockets in its arsenal, ‘but more recent unofficial estimates suggest this number has multiplied by almost 10 times,’ said Dina Arakji, associate analyst at UK-based risk consultancy firm Control Risks.

Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) corroborates that assessment, estimating that the group’s arsenal counts 150,000 to 200,000 rockets, including ‘hundreds’ of precision missiles and thousands of drones.

Hezbollah also boasts a range of anti-tank and anti-air systems, a fleet of thousands of drones, and dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles, and claims to have up to 100,000 active fighters – though INSS estimates the number is more likely 25,000 to 50,000.

And, like Hamas, Hezbollah has an extensive tunnel network along the Lebanese-Israeli border which serves as a strategic asset for clandestine movement, storage, and guerrilla warfare

While Jerusalem would assuredly emerge victorious thanks to its technological capabilities and raw numeric advantage in terms of firepower and manpower, Hezbollah would be able to inflict massive damage.

Its terrifying missile and drone arsenal is large enough to quickly overwhelm Israel’s air defences if deployed in earnest, and the thousands upon thousands of Hezbollah fighters that could stream into northern Israel would be continuously supported by well-established air and ground supply routes from its chief backer Iran via Iraq and Syria.

The Islamic Republic has thousands upon thousands of long-range and precision-guided missiles alongside hundreds of thousands of mid-range cruise missiles.

This appears to be the worst-case scenario feared by Israeli defence experts – a coordinated attack in which Iran, Hezbollah and other allies launch wave after wave of missile and drone strikes that overwhelm Israel’s air defences and devastate towns and cities. 

But many analysts say that terrifying prospect is unlikely…

…some prominent Israeli officials – including grizzled IDF veterans – warn that Jerusalem’s pursuit of further hostilities could push the Axis of Resistance a step too far. 

Itzhak Brik, a former Major General in the IDF, told the Jerusalem Post that a full-scale war with Iran and its proxies could ultimately result in the destruction of the state of Israel.

Iran and its proxies have 250,000 missiles, rockets, and drones encircling Israel, which means about 4,000 munitions hitting the Israeli home front on a daily basis.

Population centres, Haifa Bay, water and electricity facilities, gas fields [in the Mediterranean Sea], IDF bases, and strategic civilian infrastructure… A regional war can ruin the State of Israel,’ he concluded.

Carol Vorderman seems to be unaware of the fact that the only reason anyone voted LibDem at GE 2024 was because that voter lived in a constituency where people preferred to vote LibDem by default, not wanting to vote Lab or Con. Not a positive vote or even a negative one, but a “dustbin” one.

The LibDems may have 72 MPs now, by reason of being the “dustbin” choice, but they received fewer votes by far than Reform UK, which however won only 5 MPs. The electoral system of this country is as broken as everything else.

In other words, he seems to have served (so far) only 7 months and will be released once he has served 40% of the notional 3 years, so about 14 months in all, meaning, at latest, by next April (2025).

The Daily Mail report says that his release may be “imminent”. Why that may be, I do not know. He may have spent some time on remand in prison prior to trial.

His job is to clear flats & refurbish them every time a migrant family moves in. “Irrespective of that family being in that flat temporarily for 2weeks or 6mths, the flat is completely gutted every single time, redecorated & EVERYTHING is replaced. New carpets, beds, towels, kitchen, TVs, sofas even cutlery, mugs & plates. “You name it, it’s brand new every time and the ‘old stuff’ is simply dumped as they are not allowed to reuse or sell it. He says it averages about £7k-£10k every time each flat- the “record” was £24k for a family of 6. “His colleagues take a lot to the Salvation Army instead of the dump & sell some of it for themselves because there is simply so much. “He’s had several PS4s and iPads unused, still in the box untouched, which they give to charity, hand to local kids or save for Christmas donations. “He got caught giving an unused microwave & a kettle to an elderly neighbour two months ago & was put in front of a disciplinary panel.

Only last week, the Chief of SIS/MI6 declared in the UK that Ukrainians “have the will to fight“. Britain has many pressing needs and many institutions requiring reform and, as far as I can see, the intelligence and security services are numbered among those broken institutions.

Incidentally, look at that victim recruit— at least 45, maybe even 55. Most countries draft 18-y-o persons first, and exempt anyone over about 40, or only put the middle-aged servicemen or reservists on rear-echelon duties such as guarding bridges or patrolling streets far from the front-line. I have wondered why the Kiev regime is so different. It may be that the birth-rate is so low that the Kiev regime wants to minimize the loss of potential fathers. Ukraine is threatened with demographic extinction.

My own recent thoughts on the “9/11” topic can be found on my blog post of 11 September 2024: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/09/11/diary-blog-11-september-2024-including-reminiscence-about-the-9-11-attack-in-2001/.

The Editor of the Jewish Chronicle, Jake Wallis Simons, a half-Jew, was at one time a news editor at the Daily Mail, and presided over part of the “storm-in-a-teacup” that followed my politically-procured disbarment of late 2016.

The complaint against me to the Bar Standards Board was nominally signed-off by an old Jew barrister (of whom I had not previously heard), part of “UK Lawyers for Israel”. The “Campaign Against Antisemitism” was also involved in some way (the memberships and support cadres overlap to some extent).

The Daily Mail devoted a whole page to me at that time.

Diary Blog, 8 September 2024, with some examination of the role of atrocity narratives in modern history

Morning music

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrushka_(ballet)]

Atrocity stories

Nihil novi…

As a matter of fact, most WW2 atrocity narratives in Europe can be traced back to WW1 British “black propaganda”. A few used in the First World War were not recycled for Second World War use, though, because obviously invented and very hard to believe (e.g. the German Army of 1914 allegedly having used Belgian nuns as bell-clappers in cathedrals).

More recently, many will recall the lying 15-y-o Kuwaiti girl who, after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, claimed that Iraqi troops had taken hospital incubators, leaving hundreds of babies to die: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony.

In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah’s last name was al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيرة الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Nasser Al-Saud Al-Sabah, the erstwhile Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of a wider public relations campaign conducted by the Kuwaiti government-in-exile’s Citizens for a Free Kuwait, which sought to encourage American military involvement against Iraq’s occupation of Kuwait through coordination with the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton. In the aftermath of the Gulf War, the Nayirah testimony came to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.[1][2]

Nayirah’s story was initially corroborated by Amnesty International, which published a report about the supposed killings[3] and testimony from Kuwaiti evacuees. Following the liberation of Kuwait, international media crews were given access to the country. A report by ABC News found that “patients, including premature babies, did die, when many of Kuwait’s nurses and doctors … fled” but Iraqi troops “almost certainly had not stolen hospital incubators and left hundreds of Kuwaiti babies to die.”[4] Later, Amnesty International USA reacted by issuing a correction, with executive director John Healey subsequently accusing the H. W. Bush administration of “opportunistic manipulation of the international human rights movement.”[5]

[Wikipedia]

In other words, the guilty parties were Kuwaiti doctors and nurses.

Incidentally, I have myself met only a small number of Kuwaitis in my life, about a dozen, but I have to say that every single one I have met in the past was a useless, unpleasant, and completely untrustworthy waste of space.

I myself was in the USA in 1990, and remember the barrage of TV propaganda pushing that untruthful testimony, as well as other stories designed to get the clueless American masses behind Desert Shield and, later, Desert Storm.

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

Apropos of nothing much, I think that the American names for military and other operations are much more evocative than the British equivalent, which are deliberately disconnected from the operations concerned, so that some espionage plot might be designated “Operation Morris Minor” or some such.

Hard to believe that that happened 33 years ago. The Second World War officially ended on 2 September 1945 (I was born on the same day and month but 11 years later, in 1956).

33 years after the end of that terrible war brings us to 1978. By that time, a new generation, my generation, born after 1945, thought of “the War” as mere long-ago history. I presume that that is how young people today think of the Gulf War or, even more so, the Falklands campaign of 1982 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War].

Atrocity propaganda is now an inevitable part of almost all human conflict, as was seen in the fairly recent (October 2023) attack by the Gazan organization, Hamas, on Southern Israel. At time of writing, people are still arguing over whether Hamas operatives “beheaded babies”, but it seems that they did not. The story that they had done so, though, was much used by Israel and the worldwide Jewish lobby to deflect criticism of the initial Israeli attacks, which happened (on a huge scale, though similar attacks had happened for years) from October 2023, killing, wounding, and making homeless the civilian population of Gaza (including babies).

The ultimate “atrocity propaganda”, of course, remains the WW2 “holocaust” narrative, and particularly the “gas chambers” part of that. Other parts of that narrative (armchairs upholstered in Jewish skin, lampshades made of the same material etc) have joined yet other “holocaust” atrocity stories in what Marx called “the dustbin of history“, abandoned even by the Zionists, but the “gas chambers” remain. Not as actual relics— there are none, unless you count those constructed after 1945 at Auschwitz in order to show the credulous masses of West and East what German SS personnel were alleged to have done. The “relics” that remain are psychological, in the minds of millions, particularly in the Anglophone countries.

One can see why the Zionists persist in trying to maintain the “gas chambers” narrative. Without it, the whole Jewish “holocaust” narrative (as something above and beyond what was suffered by other races or peoples in the 20th Century) falls. What would remain, were the world to accept that the “gas chambers” never existed, would be the actual truth— that quite large numbers of Jews in Europe, especially Eastern Europe, were treated badly, with many of them actually shot, but none actually gassed (as per the “official” historical narrative).

That more truthful version of 20thC history, however, would put Jewish suffering on —at most— the same level as the sufferings of others: in WW2, the sufferings of Russians and others brutalized and/or shot by the Soviet government, and the sufferings of Germans brutalized and/or killed by Soviet forces and or by other forces, including the Allied bombing of Germany 1941-1945 (which killed somewhere between 350,000 and 800,000 Germans), as well as the various groups treated badly by some German forces.

The “gas chambers” narrative is really the only claim that, if accepted, would tend to put the experience of Jews in the early/mid 1940s into a box above and beyond what other peoples suffered during the 20thC (and before, and after). That is why the Zionists keep pushing it.

Very true.

Many seem to regard Divine intervention as the only thing that might stop or delay the migration invasion of the UK. Whatever one thinks of that, the System parties will not stop it; indeed, they encourage it.

Something for Richard Moore to think about before he broadcasts more pro-“Ukraine” (Kiev-regime) propaganda bs.

Hardball.

Well, as a pensioner now myself, I support that on a personal as well as general policy level, especially as I get a very reduced State Pension (by reason of having been overseas much of the time).

Wait a minute… Only yesterday, Sir Richard Moore, the Chief of SIS/MI6, told the UK television audience that “Ukraine” has “the will to fight“. In reality, Ukrainians are desperate to avoid or evade the draft. The Kiev regime will collapse before long. Russia will ultimately prevail.

If only I had the power to do something about all of that, especially that last item.

Exactly. The NHS is very much a “hit or miss” service now.

What is “on the rise” is a growing anger that nothing works properly or easily in the UK, and a growing anger about the migration-invasion (a million or more each year), and also a growing realization that “two-tier” Keir is incapable of improving this country and indeed is determined to (further) ruin it (as well as being an unmandated petty dictator).

…and another 20,000 who entered the UK “legally” in the past week; at least superficially “legally”.

That is in the northern part of Donetsk Oblast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloviansk.

Only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted Labour at the 2024 General Election. About 3 voted Con, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. 8 refused to vote.

Labour has no real mandate.

Hard to know what to believe.

So far, mainly threats. In a sense, a clever tactic, in that Israeli government, society, and economy seem paralyzed by the fear or expectation.

The Bar Standards Board is infected and (((infested))): see what happened to me from 2014 onwards:

…and the Bar itself is now a bad joke, filled with semi-literate idiots who know nothing, and are terribly afraid of standing up to the “woke” police state. They put their financial interests first.

(((The usual suspects))) have been behind most of the Bar’s slide into irrelevance and falling prestige.

Covid was without doubt a risk to some, but it’s danger was blown out of proportion, and in many cases, figures were inflated. it had a detrimental effect on the economy and the mental health of many, probably far surpassing the true dangers of the virus itself. governments were just winging it with many poorly thought out and unneeded decisions, and with heavy implementation of censorship taken up to silence those that opposed it, even though our own governments didn’t follow their own rules, of which they were forcing the entire country to follow. I can only hope I never see someone being paid to drive around blaring a “please stay inside” pre-recorded message out of a megaphone. This was however short term bullshit that we got out of. As for the metaphorical virus that we speak of; it will be far more pervasive, detrimental and long lasting to our country and the things that keep it ticking along. People are making decisions for our country based on a buzzword pissing match, and those that oppose it are being ever more censored, sacked, arrested or whatever else.

For “regulators“, read “censors“, “snoopers“, “Stasi” etc.

Typical. Still, “always look on the bright side of life“— at least the Untermensch now has to pick up litter in Bristol for 150 hours, probably the only good he has ever done for the British people since he has been here (whether born here or not).

1.BREAKING!!!! 19 year old woman visited by anti terrorist unit and @MerseyPolice yesterday. They asked her about her politics, if she is right wing, and why she had an ‘Anglo Saxon’ replica helmet in the house. They refused to say what she was accused of… They confiscated property… (a replica decorative sword hanging on her parents wall) and advised her: “Bite your tongue before talking on line.” @SpeechUnion @CollegeofPolice.”

The sheer cheek of the plods in question! Playing their “counter-terrorism” games. Put them back into uniform and get them patrolling “Murkyside’s” increasingly-dangerous streets.

Anyone who thinks that the above are not the tactics of a police state, even if —so far— a “poundshop” one, has not been paying attention.

The police (especially those ignorant of most relevant political and historical matters, and even relevant law, which means the vast majority) have no right and no business threatening the free speech of the people.

Incidentally, that Twitter/X account is here: https://x.com/WeAreFairCop.

My own experiences are, in part, recounted here below:

Starmer, Yvette Cooper etc have to go.

Never forget that, out of every 20 eligible voters, and out of every 12 voters who voted, only 4 voted Labour at GE 2024 (and many of those “Labour” voters only did so in order to bin the “Conservative” misgovernment of the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak).

That is the slippery slope down which a society slides when it says “you can have free speech but not hate speech“— and guess (((which))) element is at the forefront of shutting down freedom of expression in our country? That’s right…”them”.

Without “‘dislike, ill feeling, and antagonism” as options, there remains only abject subservience to the police state, all “happy” shiny little mixed-race or pro-racemixing people, and all applauding the pseudo-liberal State and multikulti society. Intellectual discrimination is central to a progressive (in the real sense) society, a society about to rationally choose its path to the future.

Yvette Cooper, a member of Labour Friends of Israel, is evil, as well as having been an expenses fraudster and freeloader who has never been punished. She must be removed from any position of power.

The young woman whose home was invaded by the “Murkyside” poundland Stasi “counter-terror” bad jokes has tweeted:

In an ideal world, every single one of those poundland Stasi police would themselves have their homes violated, and possessions confiscated, and members of their families questioned and alarmed. Maybe one day…

As regular readers of the blog will know, I was a barrister until the Jewish lobby procured my disbarment in 2016 (8 years after I had ceased Bar practice!): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Until very recent years, I retained a residual respect for the police, at least the rank-and-file. No longer. Useless at their proper job(s), and playing, many of them, at being “counter-terror” operatives. A bad joke force, nothing more.

I saw a few minutes of the structured “discussion” on Sky News with Sir Richard Moore, Chief of SIS/MI6 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Moore_(diplomat)] and William Burns, Director of the CIA [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Burns_(diplomat)].

My impressions (I did not watch the whole discussion): the CIA Director seemed more thoughtful, far more considered, and far less less gung-ho than the SIS Chief, who seemed shallow in his judgments. As in? Well, as in “the Ukrainians have the will to continue fighting“. Really? Is that why the Kiev regime has to employ press-gangs to recruit young-ish men? Is that why the Kiev regime is running out of soldiers willing to fight?

It seemed to me that the CIA Director was quite interested in finding a negotiated solution in Ukraine, whereas the SIS Chief seemed a far smaller figure altogether, foolishly referring to the Kiev regime as “our Ukrainian friends“. They are not our “friends” at all, but supplicants and beggars, arrogant demanding beggars at that.

The UK has virtually no common history with Ukraine at all, and of course Ukraine only became a state (and then, only in name) 30 years ago. Now a brutal, shambolic dictatorship.

Incidentally,

In 2008, Burns wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: “Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.”[17]

[Wikipedia].

Pity that Burns is not Chief of SIS! Still, there it is…

What bs is Richard Moore putting out to the public (and to Government? Or is he telling the British Government what it wants to hear, as happened with one of his predecessors before the invasion of Iraq?), about how “Ukraine” (the regime in Kiev) is fighting on, and even “winning” (does he go that far?—maybe not), the fact is that Russian forces are advancing, and will continue to advance, at present mainly in the Donbass region, then across all Eastern Ukraine, either this year or in 2025.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13805981/Labour-accused-running-Labour-backlash-plans-axe-winter-fuel-payments-pensioners.html

Keir Starmer is ‘running scared’ at the growing backlash over his plans to axe winter fuel payments for 10 million pensioners, the Tories said last night.

As Parliament returned after its summer break, the Prime Minister warned panicking Labour MPs that he would not tolerate dissent over the raid on the elderly, saying he would be ‘really tough on this’.

In a move which has infuriated opposition MPs, government sources indicated ministers would reject calls for a Commons debate and vote on the controversial plan, which was pushed through during the summer while Parliament was in recess.”

[Daily Mail]

What a brave little man “two-tier” Keir is! Willing to be “really tough” in repressing pensioners…

The bastard has only been Prime Minister for two months (as of tomorrow), and has already shown, comprehensively, that he is in the wrong job.

People must keep in the forefront of their minds that only 4 people, out of every 20 eligible to vote, voted Labour; and only 4 out of every 12 that did vote, voted Labour.

Starmer-Labour has no real mandate to govern.

Starmer has told the Jew Zelensky that Labour intends to supply the shambolic, brutal dictatorship in Kiev with £3 billion p.a. (supposedly indefinitely) from British taxpayers, while cheating British pensioners out of about £1Bn-£2Bn annually in terms of winter fuel payments.

At least that money will not have to be sent to the Kiev regime for too long— the dictatorship will probably be rolled over within a year or so.

…but that figure for “illegal” migrant-invaders is only about 5% of the whole immigration invasion or migration invasion in that time period.

Sooner or later, the whole cultural sector in the UK will have to be purged.

“Britain’s chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, enthuses about the crimes against humanity being perpetrated in Gaza by what he calls “our heroic soldiers” –yes, if you or I conflated the Jewish people with Israel, we’d be called antisemites.

He then reveals that his son, Danny, is among the soldiers in Gaza. He says he is “immensely proud” of what these soldiers are doing in Gaza – so far they have killed 23,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.

He concludes: “What Israel is doing is the most outstanding possible thing that a decent, responsible country can do for its citizens.” Is Mirvis not giving his religious blessing to genocide here?

The sheer cheek of the bastards (((them))). Mirvis was born in South Africa, lived much of his life in Israel/Palestine, relocated to Ireland, and finally washed up on our shores. Now he purports to tell us what to do and what not to do. Typical.

[Mirvis with Labour Friends of Israel member and apologist Yvette Cooper, now Home Secretary; a moneygrasping expenses cheat and would-be dictator]

As to “genocide”, one reads all sorts of nuanced arguments as to whether the mass slaughter indulged in by Israeli Jews in Gaza (and elsewhere) is or is not “genocide”. Does the label really matter? They have done what they have done…

The Russian ambassador to the USA, Anatoly Antonov, believes that the United States will not be able to “hide behind the ocean” if the situation in Ukraine turns into a global one.

Other statements by Antonov:

No arms deliveries to Kiev will change the situation on the battlefield.

– Washington’s idea that Russia collides with Europe using the Ukrainian crisis will not pass. – Agreements between Ukraine and the USA regarding the conflict in Ukraine are being implemented “without the knowledge” of Russia. – American officials ignore the obvious atrocities of the OSU: murders, violence against prisoners of war and ordinary people. – The recent visit of Ukrainian officials to America was aimed at “begging” for weapons and money, but also to tighten Washington’s policy against Russia. – The American project “Ukraine” brings huge sacrifices for the Slavic people, but Russia will cope with the new challenge.

Interesting both in itself and in the fact that Iran is supplying Russia when, in days of yore, the old Soviet Union would have been the one supplying, and Iran (etc) the recipient, whether or not the actual end user.

No detail, of course, as to how many, what type, what payload etc. It is impossible (for me) to assess at all what weight the missiles will have on the battlefield.

Hard to see how that accomplishes anything. The high-value targets are those involved in electrical production and distribution, the railways, the roads, military activity and, above all, the higher-ranking members of the Kiev regime itself. Bullseye? Zelensky.

Hungary will not survive without Russian oil, says Foreign Minister Szijjarto : ” If Hungary stops oil supplies from Russia, we simply will not survive, we will not be able to feed the country in a broad sense. We simply will not be able to satisfy the demand for fuel” Earlier, Szijjártó accused the European Commission of protecting “Ukrainian blackmailers” who threatened the energy security of Hungary and Slovakia.

From what I saw 23 years ago, Hungary is a decent country of usually-reasonable people, not a corrupt mess like Ukraine.

The best Ukrainian pilots were killed even before the Western countries delivered F-16 fighters to Kiev, writes the “Wall Street Journal”.

They include pilot Alexei Mesya, who died while piloting an F-16 fighter jet last week, as well as Andrei Pilshchikov, who died last August during a training flight. The newspaper emphasizes that both soldiers participated in a meeting with US senators in June 2022 and actively advocated for deliveries of F-16s to Kyiv.”

Such missiles can travel up to 575 miles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-158_JASSM.

The shortest distance between the Ukrainian border and Moscow is 523 miles; therefore, in principle, Moscow could be hit by such missiles.

The Kiev regime should bear in mind that Russia has many thousands of long-range missiles, including thousands carrying, or capable or carrying, nuclear warheads.

“...a steep drop in national pride“? Is that surprising? The population of the UK is now about 20% non-white, in England specifically much higher, and in the major cities such as London and Birmingham the figure is about 50%; in some cities much higher.

The English person finds himself or herself wandering the streets full of non-Europeans, many of which in the UK are predators and/or scavengers.

It becomes impossible for the “average” English person to buy or even rent a property.

A million or more migrant-invaders enter the UK every year, few leave, but about 200,000 real Brits leave the UK each year, desperately seeking a better life, mostly in Anglophone countries such as Australia, New Zealand etc.

What is there to be proud of now? In fact, there are still things of which we can be proud (new transport infrastructure, some rewilding and other environmental programmes etc), but nothing that really touches the heart; and socially, educationally, culturally, the country is sliding all the time now.

The UK is slowly sliding to a kind of social/cultural/civil war of sorts, made complex and sluggish by a number of factors.

The Kiev-regime forces will probably not be able to hold that territory even until the end of this year.
