Goodwin has, however, left out one of the major causes— “them” (you-know-who)…

Barwell, an MP (2010-2017) who was mediocre at best, and who was removed by the voters after 7 years, only to be made a fake “lord” in the House of Lords section of the Westminster monkeyhouse. Oh, and Barwell is fanatically pro-mass immigration, too, despite the fact that his own former constituency, Croydon Central, has become an Afro-Caribbean swamp that becomes more violent, gang-ridden and crime-ridden daily. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Barwell.

While I understand, I think, his strategy, Russia should stand a little apart from outside influences, not being allied to, nor much influenced by, Arab or other Muslim interests or (needless to say) Jewish and Israeli interests.

The last 2 days have seen pointless arguments: “was the killer at Southport Muslim or not?” (not, it seems), and “was the killer at Southport ‘British’ or not?” (no, not in the world of reality, but he was born in the UK to Africans). Also, “were the rioters in Leeds Muslim?” (no, Roma Gypsies). All a stupid and pointless media and social media circus.

Anyway, comment about the specific Southport perpetrator must now be limited by reason of someone having been charged and arraigned.

What really matters is the big picture— the failure of “multicultural” Britain. The fact that only 80% of the inhabitants of these islands are now white European, let alone British. Even in 1989 it was about 93%, and in the 1960s at least 95%.

In England specifically, well below that 80% figure, and in the big cities far far below.

“Foreign-born” is not a very accurate measure anyway. As we have seen, many non-whites are born in the UK, but more than that many non-whites are not only born in the UK, but are born to parents themselves born in the UK.

Disastrous for Britain’s future, including its near-future.

Statistics are being misapplied, and falsified anyway.

Just look around you.

What we are looking at is the upcoming slow collapse of what is still a semi-civilized society in the UK. It has already started to crack and distort.

I wonder whether Starmer’s wife has much direct influence over his political stances.

Starmer is behaving as though almost everyone in the UK voted Labour, and so (maybe) for him, when in fact only 4 voters out of every 12 that voted, voted Labour (only 4 out of 20 if all eligible voters are included).

Goodwin ought to address (including in his own mind) what (((element))) has always been and still is in the forefront of the conspiracy to import millions of backward non-Europeans into the UK.

He is quite right otherwise, of course.

Goodwin does not suggest what is most necessary though— the creation of a European ethnostate within the UK.

I agree with her, as far as that goes, but women should not be boxing anyway, even when they are both actual women and not, as in this case, one not a woman but a “trans” person.

Starmer is a tyrant posing as a file clerk, or a file clerk suddenly gifted power.

That tyrannical idiot and his “Labour” colleagues have always supported the mass immigration which is this country’s major, prime, most pressing problem, and which impacts all areas, from crime and lawlessness through to housing, environment, overcrowded cities, low pay, the declining NHS, the slow collapse of the Welfare State etc, even the water shortage.

The Labour “elected” tyranny is a complete “ZOG” (“Zionist Occupation Government”). Those who want to know what ZOG looks like in practice, look no further. Starmer-Labour.

In Leeds, the police caved to the Gypsy mob, in Southend the police seemed to be entirely absent as hundreds of blacks fought battles in the streets using machetes etc, but in Whitehall, the brave paramilitary police arrest a woman, said to be 61, for protesting against what is happening in this country.

A biased, “woke” police state, albeit so far, usually, a “poundland” one.

Paul Mason, the pseudo-revolutionary System drone. I may be wrong, but he always gives me the impression of being a state and/or System asset of some kind.

That “Paul Shilly” person is the type I struggle to understand. Do people like him really think that the UK (or Europe in general) can take in millions, then tens or even hundreds of millions, of mostly very backward, useless, parasitic migrant-invaders, without limit? Do they really think that UK society can survive endless waves of backward parasites and/or enemies reaching our shores? Or do they secretly know that the migration invasion will destroy both society and our root-stock, and is that what the traitors really want?

Social-media “slacktivism” alone will not accomplish anything, of course.

Many people on Twitter/X talking about trivia such as “was he [the killer] really only 17?” and “why not name and shame him?”, as if that matters much.

The big picture is that the UK is now full of non-Europeans, who now comprise about 20% of the population (far more in London and other cities and towns).

The majority of the non-Europeans here, indeed the vast majority, are of no use whatever to an advanced economy and society (which Britain was and could again become, indeed to some extent still is). A substantial minority of the non-Europeans are also actively criminal, or enemies of the British people. Of course, only a tiny minority commit massacres, but why should the British people accept any such outrages?

Part of that big picture view includes the fact that between half a million and a million migrant-invaders are entering and staying in the UK every year at this point.

The response of the revived corpse of “New Labour”, now under Israel-puppet Starmer, is to conceal the truth, to try to turn “illegals” to “legal migrants” via a rubber-stamp (the primary weapon of a type such as Starmer), and to destroy what is left of the English countryside by building ugly hutches for the migrants and others.

Rachel Reeves makes a lot more than that. The £90,000 is merely MP salary. As Chancellor, she gets about the same again, and has had other concealed income streams. Plus substantial investments.

Of course, Sophie Corcoran is a typical “Conservative” pseudo-“libertarian”, and Starmer-Labour is merely a hopeless mixture of Blair-Brown “New Labour” and the past 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment.

Planning madness

https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/24467184.uproar-larling-plans-nearly-2-000-new-homes/

Villagers in a hamlet which has around 100 homes have reacted with anger to proposals to build more than 2,000 new properties on their doorsteps.

Locals in Larling argue the area, which does not have mains sewage, is wildly unsuited to a development of such a scale.

The project would effectively turn it from one of Norfolk’s smallest villages to one of its largest – or create a new village altogether on its outskirts.

Larling, close to the A11 between Thetford and Attleborough, has been a late addition to Breckland Council’s local plan, which sets out where new homes can be built over the next two decades.

[Eastern Daily Press]

Similar madness is all over England now.

The madder thing is that hardly any English people are having children; who who are, are having one, or two. Below replacement level. Only the blacks and browns are having 3 or 4, or more, children.

Then, of course, the UK is importing 500,000-1,000,000 unwanted immigrants, mostly non-white, every single year now. Unsustainable, even in sheer numerical terms.

I do not know exactly when this society will break, but the signs are everywhere now. Quite soon, I think. Years rather than decades.

That Norfolk idea has apparently been put forward by or via a typically-greedy farming family, the Lewin family (see the newspaper report). They will end up with many millions if that development goes ahead. Probably about £20M. I have little time for the kind of farmers England now mostly has. Greedy moneygraspers, many of them.

I condemn the violence in Southport without reservation. But I don’t remember the same level of condemnation & pearl clutching at the Harehills & Manchester Airport riots & thuggery. They are not insulting the community, @ranvir01, they are trying to defend it.

The rioting started when, what appears to be an Asian or Middle Eastern man, turned up with a knife.

For decades people have wanted less immigration, especially the working-class as they bear the full brunt of the negative consequences. Knife crime, anti-social behaviour & grooming gangs.

Labour MP@SarahChampionMP estimates 1 million girls were abused, while the Labour Party covered it up with social services & the councils.

Now the murder of three little girls. People were aghast at the laxity to the response to Harehills & Manchester, but if they are white, lets go on a hate-fest against them. Be sure to sprinkle in far-right & EDL for emphasis. Two-tier policing & justice.

You are no more than mouthpieces for the Uniparty. The Great Replacement is condemned as a “far-right, white supremacist, fascist” opinion, despite the United Nations writing a 177 page paper in 2000 called “Replacement Migration.”

[David Atherton]

Note how weasel Pierce says that the alleged Southport murderer is “British” just because born in Wales (to African parents). If I were born in China, would I be Chinese? I think not.

So there is our “free” mass media. A “diverse” panel consisting of one little gay pro-immigration “Conservative”, one pseudo-revolutionary “British” Indian woman, and some stray black unknown to me. All pushing the same line…

I think that, the way things are going, the British people are going to take matters into their own hands, as at Southport. Not in a (very) planned or co-ordinated way (bearing in mind the degree of snooping that the poundland police state now indulges in, and the Kafka-esque misuse of “anti-terror” laws), but as now not infrequently seen, events flaring up, perhaps though leading to serious political upheaval as well, over time.

By 2034, there will be another 5M-10M non-whites in the UK, mostly in England, mostly in the cities. Plus maybe a few million births. What then?

UK, Eire, France, Germany, Italy, Spain. The problem is a pan-continental one.

[and you know what kind of (((influence))) is behind Yvette Cooper].

The Tunisian revolution began with a street vendor. Everyone knows the wider issues are the problem and it snowballs.

In the UK the problem is importing 10 million foreigners did not increase quality of life. It brought murder, rape, terrorism, wage stagnation, house price explosion etc.

But worst of all political gridlock on any solution to stop the inflow never mind reverse the damage. ~40% of the Labour vote comes from non-natives. They only got 33% in the election, without the imports they would have only got ~20%. This mindset of promoting foreigners and suppressing natives is representative of almost no one.”

Very true. As I have explained several times, at GE 2024, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote, probably out of disgust with the System. Another 4 out of 20 voted Labour; 3 voted Con, 2 Reform UK, 2 LibDem, and 1 Green. In rough outline.

In other words, only 4 people out of every 20 voted Labour. If, as is certainly the case, half of the Labour vote was from the ethnic minorities, that means that only 2 out of 20 real British people voted Labour.

Labour really has no mandate at all, or at best a very marginal one.

Free speech is being taken away. Elections have become almost meaningless. Our (real) human and civil rights are being eroded fast, replaced by fake ones. The late President Kennedy said something about that sort of situation:

We are ruled by a nefarious group of individuals that have an unquenchable thirst for power, control and money, and they don’t care what they have to do to get it. And that includes tricking people into thinking they are the virtuous good guys who are here to keep us all safe.

And tragically, millions of people are completely duped by this. What we have witnessed over the Covid response, the war in Ukraine, the Net Zero agenda on climate change and many other current issues is a movement of faux-virtue that has been carefully crafted by corrupt politicians, messengers within legacy media outlets, greedy corporations, messiah delusional billionaires and undemocratic technocrats to create the impression that they are the virtuous ones who are our friends.

The whole quite long tweet is worth reading.

Not only is this “Labour”-label regime an “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by 4 people out of every 20), but one without ideas, without ideals, intent only on power and the exercise of repression.

Now look— David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson etc. As for Starmer, not Jewish, but with Jewish wife, just like Jenrick and others.

Rachel Reeves has no “plan”, just a tick-box idea of “balancing the books”. cf. David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne.

Look at what she herself has decided to do, along with her boss, fellow Labour Friends of Israel member Starmer.

Infrastructure investment slashed, which is the worst-possible choice (though some projects are useless, notably HS2). More money for the subsistence of unwanted migrant-invaders. Pensioners to lose a lifeline. No new hospitals. Yet pay rises of 22.3% (over 2 years) for junior hospital doctors most of whom are useless, and most if not all of whom will be on far higher levels of income within a few years of seniority.

That last reminded me of a major league baseball players’ strike when I lived in the USA over 30 years ago. The strike was bitter and crowned with success eventually. The demand was that all major league baseball players should get $100,000 a year minimum (I suppose you could at least double the value today). Not unreasonable, arguably, though it was several times the average pay of Americans as a whole. The joke was that only 1% of all major league baseball players at that time received pay of less than $100,000 anyway. Most were in the several hundreds of thousands a year, with a substantial minority getting over a million a year.

The “trans” nonsense has become utterly ridiculous. Having said that, women should not be boxing anyway.

Less than a month since GE 2024, and Starmer-Labour is already the “elected” dictatorship I predicted. I say “elected“, of course, because only 4 out of every 12 voters who voted, voted Labour (only 4 out of 20 of all eligible voters— 8 out of 20 did not vote at all).

We are not ruled by “Labour” or “Conservative” labels, but by NWO/ZOG puppets. There is no substantial difference between the “two main parties”.

…and there are “alternative” NWO/ZOG puppets, less important ones, too: “Tommy Robinson”, Reform UK, Farage, Tice etc.

What has been absent from comment is the sheer malice of the recent announcement. I see Rachel Reeves as an extremely malicious person, and she will be well aware of the fact that few people aged 65+ vote Labour.

“Zelensky: We will discuss the issue of Ukraine’s borders with the respective countries.

Kyiv-based political scientist Andrei ZOLOTARYOV believes that Zelensky is “preparing to sell the truce to the Ukrainians as a victory.”

Washington Post: Armed forces of Ukraine exhausted, a critical situation is emerging for the Ukrainian army on the front with elements of “serious chaos”.”

Surely, if the Kiev-regime forces are exhausted, this is the moment for a general advance of Russian armour and infantry across eastern Ukraine, not for a truce, from the Russian point of view?

The US allowed the use of nuclear weapons because of Ukraine The United States may use nuclear weapons because of the desperate situation in Ukraine, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said in an interview with the YouTube channel Dialogue works. “The situation in Ukraine now is that the Russians have virtually defeated Ukraine, and so the United States has a choice between a humiliating defeat and perhaps dropping one of these low-yield nuclear weapons,” he said.

If the USA uses nuclear weapons on Russian forces, it can kiss goodbye to the top 50 American cities, including Washington DC, New York, LA, Philadelphia, Houston, Denver, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, and Boston.

Don’t instigate nuclear war. It could put humanity back thousands of years.

Thoughts about the Manchester Airport event

First of all, the full facts, in detail, are not publicly known; I certainly do not know them.

Having said that, a few things do occur to me. The most forceful policeman in the now-infamous video clip plainly went far beyond what was necessary. His prisoner or opponent was lying face down, hands apparently bound. He was apparently not moving at all. The policeman kicked him in the head, a hard kick which might have killed the prisoner. The policeman then stamped down hard —he was wearing boots— another assault that might also have killed the prisoner.

Secondly, the context is not on film; allegedly, an immediately-earlier assault by the Muslim family on a policewoman and another. I suppose that that policewoman was the young woman running around like a headless chicken in the video. Useless.

Thirdly, I noticed in the later video that another totally useless policewoman was there, doing nothing but being a useless extra body. There should probably be a rethink about the utility of policewomen in uniformed front-line roles, as UK society becomes ever-more violent.

Fourthly, the comment of Richard Tice MP of Reform UK, applauding the (apparent) over-reaction by one or two of the policemen, was predictably brainless.

Fifthly, the cartoon below is increasingly relevant in the UK:

Actually, another point also occurred to me as I watched a few minutes of TV news coverage: how many of the passengers seen in the background were non-European.

As frequently said on the blog, Starmer has no real ideas. Hopeless.

Trump is, obviously, a very flawed individual, but it is hard to imagine what kind of American would rather vote for Kamala Harris, a useless box-ticking careerist and know-nothing.

I suppose that the Democrats hope that she will capture the votes of the “blacks and browns” (etc), a simple racially-based preference based on the fact that she is mixed-race [father Jamaican, mother Indian Tamil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris#Early_life_and_education].

A third “world war” would be devastating, probably on a scale exceeding even that of the 1939-45 conflict. We can only hope that humanity, i.e. those individuals and groups with real power, pull back from the brink. If not, Europe, and quite likely Asia and North America as well, may face near-wipeout.

Nadine Dorries, pretty brainless freeloader though she is, is right about the semi-gangster milieu that has grown up, over two decades or more, in the centre of the “Conservative” Party. Given my head, I should know how to get rid of nuisances of that sort, but I am “not allowed” to detail that, in our “free” and supposedly liberal country.

The most important reform would be to the electoral system. As frequently recently noted on the blog, at the recent General Election and out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote, a clear repudiation of the political system, the voting system, and the “main parties”.

Of the remaining (12) voters who did vote, a mere 4 voted Labour, 3 Conservative, 2 each for Reform UK and LibDem (though Reform got far more votes), and 1 (not quite) voted Green.

That is Starmer-Labour’s mandate and support-base— 4 people out of every 20.

London. Zoo.

Barwell, you idiot. Your views come close to treachery. In fact, I believe that they do constitute treachery, treachery in particular to the remaining real English people not only of London but of all England.

Like many another, I voted with my feet long ago, and now prefer to avoid London. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/06/30/diary-blog-30-june-2022-including-impressions-of-a-trip-to-dystopian-london/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/02/04/white-flight-in-a-small-country/.

Incidentally, I see that Barwell’s cretinous tweet has been seen by well over 2 million people, yet has been “liked” by only 2,000— one in every thousand. Barwell’s views may be mainstream in the Westminster monkeyhouse and in the System msm, but in the rest of the country his opinions are those of a small and wrongheaded minority.

Barwell really takes the biscuit for deliberately-obtuse failure to see what is right in front of him— the destruction of the social fabric of London (and the UK) by reason of mass immigration and its consequences.

Even if Barwell’s narrow point is true, and Charlotte Gill does not like “living in a diverse community” (read “a crime-ridden multikulti swamp”), so what? That is her choice or preference (and a good one too).

If Barwell is typical of many of the “Conservative” Party officials and politicians, then its near-collapse is far from hard to understand.

I saw another tweet from that Barwell idiot:

Barwell’s knowledge of history is notable for its wrongheadedness. He is a know-nothing.

Sadly, tweeter “@Pauline51734996” also seems to know not so much about modern history, bearing in mind that WW2 is precisely why Britain was “bled dry“, the British people beggared for a decade after the “victory” of 1945 (some rationing in the UK lasted until 1955). “Pauline”, however, does not hold herself out as being capable of expert socio-political commentary, unlike Barwell.

Is Barwell aware that the Kiev regime is egregiously brutal, shambolic, corrupt, and tyrannical? No trade unions, no free press, no real opposition parties, no free speech (etc)? Press-gangs to force the many unwillingly into uniform? Those who have not managed to flee beyond the borders, that is. In fact, the Jew Zelensky is presently ruling illegally, having decided to ignore the fact that his presidential term expired some time ago (and he now refuses to hold an election).

A newspaper report about a young girl orphaned when her parents, as well as her two sisters, were killed on the road, it seems because an idiot was riding a motorbike on the wrong side of the highway, and at what must have been a tremendous speed.

The GoFundMe appeal set up for the orphaned girl (and publicized by that Daily Mirror report) had an initial goal of £3,000. It made that within an hour or two. The fund now stands, at time of writing, at nearly £250,000, on only the second day. It still increases. Enough to set the child up in life in every way.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-poppie

My point is that there is so much bad news, news about poor or even evil behaviour by people, that that often leads us to forget the immense power of goodness that also exists in the world.

That GoFundMe appeal has had a few large donations (£1,000, even £5,000), but much of the quarter-million pounds so far donated has been in smaller sums— £5, £10, £20. As someone once put it, discussing the Parable of the Widow’s Mite in the New Testament, “the radiation of the small coins“…

Heartening.

[Incidentally, it occurs to me that the orphaned girl will probably, presumably, eventually, be the beneficiary of any car insurance payout as well].

…once I had finally left the stifling climate on campus I became truly aware of how us Zoomers have been completely screwed over by the mainstream system. My parents, for example, were married, with one child, and onto their second property at the same age that I am now, despite not coming from any kind of wealth at all.

But the reality, today, for Zoomers like me, is that I will likely never be able to afford my own house, nor will I ever be able to pay off my university debt faster than the interest on it grows. Almost half of my monthly salary now goes on rent, meaning it is virtually impossible for me to save any money at all.

There is a listlessness that my peers and I feel – that I think is borne from the fact that we simply do not ‘own’ anything, nor can we put roots down anywhere. We are neither the ‘Somewheres’ nor ‘Anywheres’ British writer David Goodhart talks about; we have neither the means to join the Somewheres by putting down roots nor the desire to join the continually mobile, hyper-liberal Anywheres who eschew these roots for a sort of hedonistic, bohemian, and hyper-individualistic ‘life’.

…and meanwhile, the “British” Government, egged on by the organized UK Jewish lobby, defends the Gaza cruelties.

I was unaware that Myerson had “resigned” (been kicked out, in my opinion) as a Recorder (p/t judge), albeit under the fig-leaf of having “resigned”, of course. His continuing toxic social media output made it almost inevitable. Someone such as Myerson should never sit in judgment over others. Unfit.

It seems that the judicial career of pro-Israeli judge Simon Myerson KC may be over, or at least stalled. Skwawkbox understands that Mr Myerson ceased to hold judicial office in early July 2024. It is unclear whether he resigned or was forced out after failing to curb his controversial behaviour on X/Twitter.

Myerson, a founder signatory of the anti-left so-called ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS) group who was a ‘Recorder’ judge and has denied that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, was disciplined by the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice in March after engaging in politically controversial issues in an offensive manner. The senior judges found that he had failed to maintain the standards of his judicial office.

Asked to comment on the case, a barrister who has worked with Myerson said:

Myerson’s conduct on social media has been very poor. Judges are supposed to ensure that their conduct, both in and out of court, maintains and enhances the public confidence in the judiciary. Myerson is consistently rude and patronising to people on social media and it reflects badly on the judiciary. I suspect a lot of judges will be glad to see him go because his conduct was becoming an embarrassment.”

[Skwawkbox]

Stalled“? No. Myerson is finished as far as the Bench is concerned. He should never have even been considered for such appointment.

Incidentally, Myerson is or was a leading light of a “charity” bringing Afghans to the UK. Typical.

This is what Myerson and his type are defending— Israeli war crimes.

More Israeli crimes:

No wonder that the msm drones (BBC or other) are so careful always to parrot System propaganda (whether Israel-lobby/Jewish-lobby propaganda, “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic propaganda, multikulti society propaganda, or whatever else). One wrong move and they are “cancelled”, so losing out hugely in money terms.

An extreme view but understandable when animal abuse is uncovered, as in the case of Charlotte Dujardin (of whom I had never heard until this evening).

Most racehorses are treated very well, and I am sure that that is true of showjumping as well, though I have had only occasional contact with the latter.

I trust that Charlotte Dujardin , the Queen of Team GB’s dressage team ( she has 3 Olympic gold medals) is banned for much longer than the provisional 6 months over a video showing her whipping her horse’s legs repeatedly so the animal performs to her liking. Makes you wonder what other cruelty she may have visited on her horses over the years. The incident was filmed four years ago in the UK at an educational establishment. It shows Dujardin , 39, hitting the horse on its legs during a piaffe- a slow trot. Another rider was on the horse. Why didn’t the other rider report Dujardin to the authorities straight away? Whoever was the whistleblower was clearly worried about the Dujardin reaction as they leaked it through a lawyer in Holland The International Federation of Equestrian Sports was sent the video yesterday and provisionally banned Dujardin, 39, for six months. With luck she will be kicked out completely. Dujardin then issued some mealy mouthed statement saying she had made an error of judgment. You mean you were caught. Very grateful to the whistleblower. Without him or her Dujardin may well have been carrying the flag at the opening of the Olympics as our most important athlete.

[Kelvin MacKenzie]

When I find myself in agreement with Kelvin MacKenzie, the world has certainly changed…

On the wider point, it seems to me that the whole Olympic circus is now no longer useful, let alone interesting.

Starmer-Labour is a kind of “elected” dictatorship, as well as being a basically Jewish/Zionist “project” (cf. “Blairism”). It was “elected” under a system of voting used by few other countries.

In rough terms, Starmer-Labour was voted for by only 4 out of every 12 people that voted, and out of every 20 of those eligible to vote. Its mandate is very weak.

[out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 chose not to vote at all, 4 voted for Starmer-Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results].

You see so many unthinking tweeters such as “@1aisTro11sBots”, who imagine that the headline result of GE 2024 reflects socio-political reality. No, it reflects an unfair and stupid voting system.

In a more restrained way, the same or similar msm puffery in the UK enabled Keir Starmer to appear solid and competent. Hardy ha ha…

Even if so, no more dishonest than the Cameron-Levita/Osborne Con government of 2010-2015 laying the blame for the world banking crash and the UK’s slide into decline on the British poor, unemployed, sick, and disabled. The whole Cameron-Levita “austerity” nonsense.

We have a sick political and mass media system.

ps. why is there no law prohibiting MPs from being called “Darren”? (only joking).

The United States, like the UK, has experienced since the 1980s a decline in the quality of its politicians which is still continuing.

“…In fact, I’d go even further by stating the obvious. Kamala Harris, in reality, is only Vice President of the United States because she happens to tick the relevant identity boxes that according to the modern left need to be ticked. Woman? Tick. African American? Tick. She has basically benefitted from a system that is now hard-wired to promote certain identity groups over others, based on little more than these boxes.”

…and the UK is going much the same way.

I am thinking that Kamala Harris will be replaced by another candidate. If so, it will have to happen soon.

Either way, I should imagine that Trump is likely to win now, though you never know.

Not so much “New Labour New Danger” as a rehash of the “Conservative” fake “austerity” agenda.

The new Starmer-Labour government is already a total failure and fraud, only 2-3 weeks since its equally-fake “landslide” (only 33.7% even of those who voted).

As noted before on the blog, out of every 20 eligible voters, only 4 voted Labour (3 voted Con, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. 8 did not vote).

Wait until they find out about the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic.

Trump

Trump looking presidential, in a way that he rarely did even when he was President before.

If he can survive the campaign and get re-elected, his personal history, and his personal flaws, can take a back seat. He can stop funding Zelensky and the whole Kiev regime. That can be his first task.

Trump may be in a position, if or when re-elected, to call a halt to the rush to world war. That is the issue of primary importance.

From the newspapers

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24453094.warrant-issued-barge-asylum-seeker-bit-police-officer/

An arrest warrant has been issued for an asylum seeker who tried to bring cannabis onto the Bibby Stockholm barge and then bit a police officer when he was being arrested.

Kenson Noel, aged 29, pleaded guilty at Weymouth Magistrates Court on June 7 to possession of a class B drug and assault by beating of Portland Port Police officer Christopher Grant.

The charges relate to an incident on May 16, 2024.

He was due to be sentenced today at Poole Magistrates Court but did not appear.

This triggered a warrant for his arrest to be issued by the court.

The court previously heard that Noel, whose address was given as a hotel in Bournemouth, is an asylum seeker who fled Trinidad and Tobago after being threatened by gangs.

Archaeologists have finally traced a lost alphabet that puzzled scholars for decades back to a 3,000 year-old civilization of Biblical significance. 

Since 1964, archaeologists have found 15 different tablets with strange carvings at the site of an ancient settlement in Jordan.

Thanks to new analysis, archaeologists have found that they were likely made by the Canaanites, an indigenous group who thrived in the Middle East until the second half of the 13th century BC. 

The Canaanites resided in ‘the Promised Land’ from 3500BC until 1200BC before they were conquered by Israeli tribes following their Exodus from Egypt.

The Canaanites are mentioned several times in the old testament, including the books of Genesis, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Joshua.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13636153/trump-classified-documents-case-dismissed-judge-rules.html

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump in a bombshell ruling less than 48 hours after the former president was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump was accused of taking highly sensitive national security documents to his Mar-a-Lago estate when he left the White House, and FBI agents seized a trove of material during a search of his Florida home in August 2022.

Judge Cannon threw the case out based on ‘violations’ of the Constitution’s Appointments and Appropriations clauses.

In her ruling, she found that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional.

The decision has an enormous impact on Trump’s legal battles, and he now faces just two criminal trials in Georgia and the federal court in Washington D.C. 

A year ago, Trump’s classified documents case appeared to be his most serious legal threat: perhaps easier to prove than Trump’s January 6 case, which relied on public statements, tweets and complex schemes involving electors around the country to charge a complex conspiracy to overturn the election.

Everything’s going Trump’s way, it seems…

Fuck it. I’m just gonna come out and say it. After a lot of thought, I am now 100% behind Donald Trump for President. Let me explain my reasoning…

Trump fell short in many ways in his first term. He was weaker than he should have been on the border. He appointed people to his cabinet that frankly stained his image and sunk his reputation. He let us down with the vaccines and Operation Warp Speed. But it’s about more than Donald Trump. It’s always been about more than Trump.

He has awakened the sleeping giant in America and across the world. People have hit breaking point. And they are sick to the back teeth of the status quo. For all my reservations, I do believe at heart his intentions are mostly good. Compare and contrast him to a demented old man who doesn’t remember what he had for breakfast.

What happened on Saturday night pushed me over the edge. They have tried everything to stop this man. Impeachment, election rigging, lawfare and now an attempted assassination in broad daylight. It’s not about trying to stop Trump. It’s about trying to stop a populist uprising.

In these times we can’t be picky. Trump isn’t going to fix all our problems. Trump isn’t going to save the world. We are living through a time of pure evil, the likes of which only God can protect us from. But we have to rebuild, we have to reorganise. We all have differences of opinion on various issues but ultimately we all see the evil in this world and we all want to make a change. And I believe the best start to that work is to get behind Donald Trump and use our influence to push for the change we want to see.”

There has simply never been a nation-state in history that has endured the sheer scale and speed of demographic change that is currently unfolding around us and remained a healthy, socially cohesive, prosperous, high-trust society.

[Matt Goodwin]

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. The “Great Replacement”…

…and virtually all the children now being born in the UK, and particularly in England, are non-white (including mixed-race). Demographic disaster.

Let’s bin all “diversity hires”, starting with David Lammy, presently and ludicrously posing as Foreign Secretary.

Ha ha…yes, but the joke is on us…

The System promotes idiots like that, making sure that they can wave a few bits of paper (tick-box degrees, diplomas etc) if challenged, as a way of accelerating the destruction of European civilization.

Even the System msm cannot ignore the migration invasion completely, because the public has started to awaken and, indeed, become fearful of what is happening, and what might and probably will happen not so far down the road.

The Twitter-twits, and the System politicians, have been laughing at the Reform UK result at GE 2024 (“only 5 MPs” etc), but the underlying reality is that, out of nearly 29M actual votes, Reform UK got over 4.1M, the Conservative Party only 6.8M, and victorious Labour 9.8M.

Labour received under 10M votes, and has 411 MPs, despite only getting about (indeed, less than) two-and-a-half times the number of votes cast for Reform UK, fobbed off with merely 5 MPs.

As noted in previous blog posts, for every 20 people who were eligible to vote at GE 2024, a plurality, 8 people, did not bother to vote, probably because they were disenchanted with the whole set-up.

Out of that group of 20 people, only 4 actually voted Labour.

Another 3 out of the 20 voted Conservative; 2 voted Reform UK. 2 also voted LibDem (which however received only 3.5M votes as against Reform’s 4.1M). (Almost) 1 notional voter out of the 20 voted Green, which party received 1.8M votes.

The point is that Reform UK is, at least in part, “controlled opposition” but, notwithstanding that, over 4 million people decided to register their anger by voting for it. Another 19.6 million did not vote.

It is possible that, were a credible social-national movement to exist, a substantial part of the 19.6M non-voting bloc, as well as a large part of Reform UK’s 4.1M bloc, might vote for, or otherwise support it.

Remember, out of every 20 adult people in the UK, only 4 voted for Starmer-Labour.

Starmer-Labour has no real mandate from the people.

Happened to see part of one of those fly-on-the-wall cop shows, called Police Interceptors. The bit I saw concerned a raid on a house where a man was thought to be trading in drugs.

The police arrived in force, were ready to bust open the front door but found it unlocked, so went in and took control of the property. The man named on the warrant was not at home, but his wife/girlfriend/whatever was, along with her small and terrified children.

In the kitchen, the police found large bags stuffed with herbal cannabis, apparently harvested from the marijuana farm in the attic, which the police also found. They also found little plastic bags used for retail sales of the drug.

The woman was arrested only because the wanted man refused to give himself up, but was in touch with the woman by telephone, under police guard, and was apparently nearby. He gave himself up a few days later.

What interested me was that I should have thought that there was ample evidence to prosecute them both for “possession with intent to supply”, but in the end the woman was released (I was distracted so missed the exact outcome, I think an official caution), and her husband/boyfriend/co-habitee was apparently not charged with anything!

A big raid, the police all dressed up in the paramilitary style to which they have become accustomed, warrants obtained, searches made, drugs found, arrests made and, in the end…nothing.

The police and CPS need to start dealing with (real) crime, rather than snooping on tweets and blog posts and generally behaving like a poundland Stasi.

This country is now pretty close to running on empty.

After Trump’s courageous immediate response to the attempted assassination, his stock among the American voters must surely rise.

This must surely seal the Presidential race for Trump, even if the Democrats replace Biden with someone compos mentis.

Having said that, were Biden to be replaced by someone such as Michelle Obama, popular —God knows why— among the non-whites who are now the majority of the American population, it is possible that Trump might lose, I suppose, but that really might see an actual civil war develop.

Have we just seen and heard, in those popping shots at the Trump rally, the first shots of the second American Civil War, akin to the shot fired at Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina in 1861, or even that fired by the cruiser Aurora in 1917?

Were her crazy idea about pension age ever to be implemented, it would cause an electoral, and perhaps actual, rebellion that would make the rise of Reform UK look like the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.

As Matt Goodwin has predicted, the Starmer-Labour government will crash and burn very quickly. It has no real mandate anyway, despite its Commons majority. Only 33.7% of the popular vote. People wanted rid of the fake “Conservatives”, that’s all. Few really wanted Starmer-Labour. Don’t forget that Sunak’s “Conservatives” also had a large Commons majority.

How is it that a Zionist Jew such as Aaronovitch can post that, and nothing happens, but a comment or cartoon about Jewish behaviour, allegedly posted by an English blogger, causes the suborned UK police and/or CPS to go mad?

The Labour hegemony in the younger age-groups (highest in the 25-34 age-group— 46%) will not last. The wider 18-44 group —where Labour support was, at GE 2024, over 40%— will soon defect or fall away when Labour fails to improve the housing crisis, or improve the poor deal renters get in the UK, among other issues.

Farage

I see that the little world of UK Twitter/X is going mad because Farage is going to visit Trump. According to those Twitter-twits, Farage is neglecting his duties as MP and, in particular, neglecting the constituents of Clacton by briefly going to the USA. They obviously have no idea that a great many MPs either do nothing at all for their (notional) constituents, or send pro-forma letters back to them, explaining why they can do little or nothing. There are exceptions, but those are exceptions to the general rule of uselessness.

That idea, that the online pseudo-political “grifters” (“Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, “Man Behaving Dadly”, Julia Grace Patterson etc) will have to nuance their begging appeals now that the hated “Tories” have switched places with the supposedly better but actually quite similar (in policy terms) Starmer-Labour, had occurred to me.

I doubt that the online fraudsters need to worry too much, though. Their target audience is almost begging to be cheated, and will accept as true almost any variation in the “facts” put forward. You only have to look at the lies of “Jack Monroe” over the years. Stunningly unbelievable. Like something from a book of fairy stories. Yet the “useful idiots” believe…and continue to send money to her.

There is a belief around that “mainstream” political parties must aim to be in the non-existent or notional “centre”.

Regular readers of the blog will know that I effectively never use the descriptors “right”, “left”, “centre” etc in that way.

What matters is policy, and what matters to the people is the overall effect of policy on their lives. The Conservative Party failed the people in terms of how their confused policy offering actually affected or changed, or failed to change, the lives and lifestyles of the people. Labour is about to follow suit, in my opinion.

…said well-known political journalist John Rentoul in...2014. Oh…

Talking point

Not that Churchill himself wanted to finish off the British Empire. He wanted, in an ideal world, to destroy National Socialist Germany and, at the same time, the Soviet Union.

Churchill’s strategic ineptitude (seen in numerous examples throughout his career) led not only to the destruction of the German Reich, followed by the division of mainland Europe into a Stalinist sector in the East, and a basically American, or notionally Anglo-American, sector in the West, but also to the destruction of all the European empires, and thus their generally civilizing influence over Asia, Africa (including North Africa) etc

The same basic division in Europe (though into 4 national sectors) was carried out in much of Germany and Austria for several years after WW2, with the capital cities (Berlin and Vienna) likewise divided.

Vienna was divided until 1955, Berlin until 1989, and France was, as a notional Western ally, given one sector despite having been defeated in 1940, partly occupied the same year, and fully-occupied in November 1942 (and having not participated in the defeat of the German Reich).

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

The end of WW2 led directly to the collapse of European rule across the world. The colonies of Britain, France, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands etc were decolonized, some almost immediately, some much later. Thus began the environmental degradation and loss of wildlife across Asia, Africa, the Pacific etc, which situation continues even today, as do the wars, civil wars, corruptions and tyrannies of the formerly colonial territories.

Churchill, an educated and erudite man who was also completely wrong in his political judgment(s) was, so to speak, “the wrong man at the wrong time”, though the accepted System/msm narrative says the opposite, of course.

As for Britain itself after WW2, I recommend the books of the very underrated Correlli Barnett: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett#Writings

As Barnett points out in one or two of those books, after WW2 Britain would have been able to do one of three things well, possibly even two of those things: maintain its status as a great power; regenerate its economy; create a Welfare State. Britain tried to accomplish all three, but was unable to do so satisfactorily. Britain had been beggared by its war against the German Reich.

These three aims or tasks (or problems) are still with us, in some or another form, today.

Britain today is the “also ran” in respect of its military power, its society (Welfare State, NHS, State education etc), and economy.

As far as Barnett is concerned, I should say that he was right far more often than he was wrong.

Incidentally, Barnett was probably denied a knighthood, a life peerage, and other official honours (he did get a CBE) by reason of his having spoken, or strongly implied, the unsayable— that Britain should never have declared war on the German Reich or, having declared war in September 1939, should have concluded an armistice sometime after Dunkirk, in mid to late 1940, before too much hurt and damage had been done in western and central Europe.

Reform UK

Reform UK’s vote suffers from being wide, indeed nationwide (though not so strong in Scotland), but shallow. 14.29% across the board could easily have meant zero seats anywhere, rather than the 5 Reform actually captured.

The LibDem vote, only 12.22% nationally, was nonetheless concentrated here and there. Result— 72 MPs.

Reform UK, to me, seems to be in a fairly good position to concentrate some of its overall support in certain parts of the country, and certain constituencies, just like the LibDems. For Reform, that would be, primarily or firstly, in the East of England and the East Midlands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#By_nation_and_region.

In the East of England, Reform UK scored 17.5% of the vote; in the East Midlands, 18.9%.

Indeed, though Reform won no GE 2024 seats in the West Midlands or North-East England, its vote was still high— 18.1% in the former, and 19.9% in the latter (less than half a point behind the Conservative Party). Reform was also not very far behind the Conservative Party in the West Midlands.

Reform UK came second in 98 constituencies, of which 89 were won or held by Labour.

It is not impossible to surmise that, if the Conservative Party vote were to collapse further in those 98 seats, Reform UK might capture some, many, or even all of them.

That would be even more likely, arguende, if Starmer-Labour in government disappoints the mass of the people, as I believe it will.

I am glad that I am not alone in having noticed the sickening sycophancy of the “occupied” UK msm towards Starmer-Labour (though would anyway be unconcerned were I the only one).

Today, on Sky News, I caught literally seconds of the end of a piece by some sports journalist woman. Her take was that, with “England” in the final game of some football contest, and a new Labour (New Labour?) government in power, it feels (she claimed) like the dawning of a new era. I believe that was the brainless and derivative way in which she put it.

Of course, Starmer-Labour will probably be in power until 2029, so the msm drones naturally want to curry favour, but I think that the said sycophancy goes beyond even that. I think that many in the msm seriously believe that Starmer-Labour is wonderful and will bring about some minor “golden age”.

I see no real connected thinking in the msm about what happens when the UK is importing literally a million invaders every single year, about what happens when a Labour government is harder on workers, the unemployed, the sick, the disabled than has been the past 14 years of “Conservative” government (etc).

What happens when the lights go out? What happens when lawlessness finally overwhelms a fairly civilized court and legal system which evolved over long periods but which is now already swamped?

Also, with a deadhead like Lammy as Foreign Secretary, what happens to Britain’s already-tattered international standing?

What interests me is what will be happening 2025-2029 under the surface of the Labour Party pseudo-landslide Commons majority.

Who can forget Ed Miliband at Copenhagen in 2005, bleating outside the UN conference (so badly-organized that he was not allowed in at first) about the fake “3/5/7/whatever years to save the world” narrative? I also recall that little monkey, who was the President of the Maldives, jumping up and down and clapping once he realized that his country might receive millions in “climate aid” in case the Maldives sank below the waves (nearly 20 years later, though, it is still there).

In any case, with the sort of events we now see (eg Biden’s funny but also sad descent into the fog), any similar show today would have to fight hard to compete with what is actually happening in front of our eyes.

True, Reagan was not the most-obviously intelligent world leader, but the satirical treatment of him was deliberately “over the top”; whatever his flaws, he was not in the grip of a dementia-related condition plainly visible whenever he spoke in public.

I have not seen the more recently remade Spitting Image but I doubt that it pokes fun at the kind of non-political targets the 1980s original did, e.g. black “rap” performers. I admit that I am guessing, though. The remake is not broadcast on mainstream TV.

The regime of that evil little bastard has only one main chance— to drag NATO into the war. That might mean a slide into a nuclear confrontation before very long.

If the Kiev regime starts to attack Russian cities far from the front line, the response might be that Ukrainian cities in the western part of Ukraine, west of the Dnieper, might be attacked and even destroyed.

So far, Russia has not launched all-out attack on Kiev, partly because of its role in Russian history, but if major Russian cities start to be bombarded, that may change.

I predicted, a couple of years ago, on the blog, that Russia would start to degrade the electrical production and distribution network across Ukraine. That is now being intensified, and is a far more intelligent way of waging war than the more brutal and harsh —and less effective— choice of attacking directly the homes and neighbourhoods of the Ukrainian civilians.

If the Kiev regime starts to badly damage Russian cities away from the front line —especially Moscow, Petersburg and surrounding territories— the Russian response could be devastating enough to bring NATO into the war on some pretext such as Poland suffering damage. Were that to happen, all of us would be but a step away from a Russia-NATO war, which is being pushed by secret circles within the West. Such a war, which would quite likely go nuclear within weeks, would change Europe and the world forever.

Incredible, when you think of the historical hardships of the Irish people. Now, unwanted non-European migrant-invaders demand this, that, and the other…

Forget the “Conservative” Party. Social nationalism can provide the right policies and administration.

Starmer-Labour has surprised even me by its evident ineptitude. We are only one week into what looks like being a disastrous 5 years.

I do not follow football at all, but it seems to me that both domestic and international matches are now, in effect, a situation where people put “national” or team labels on a group of players and say to each other: “my blacks can beat your blacks“.

Another example of the undemocratic and quasi-dictatorial nature of the Starmer-Labour government. 411 MPs from whom to choose, yet Starmer is appointing ministers at will from outside the Commons, elevating them to the Lords first.

Sophie Corcoran fails to point out that her comment might also apply, absolutely exactly, to the past 14 years of Conservative Party government.

Reform UK, GE 2024, and the Twitter twits

I was just looking at Twitter/X, which is alive today with Twitter-twits attacking Reform UK and, particularly, belittling Reform for, as it were, pretending to be a serious political party when it “only” has 5 MPs.

As recently as June 2024, the LibDems only had 11 MPs, and had only 8 from 2015 until 2017.

The forerunner of the LibDems, the old Liberal Party, at one time the party of government with hundreds of MPs, fell to having only 6 MPs during the 1950s and again in the early 1970s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_(UK)#Electoral_performance.

As for the SNP, from its foundation in the early 1930s and until 1970, about 37 years (!), the SNP had no MPs at all; in 1970, the SNP managed to have elected 1 MP. The MP-cadre of the SNP then varied from 2 to (1974 to 1979) 11 MPs in the years 1974 to 2015, but mostly stuck at 2 or 3 MPs until 1997, when the SNP bloc increased its numbers, this time to 6 MPs. When the FPTP tipping-point was reached in 2015, the SNP mushroomed from 6 MPs to 56 (out of 59 Scottish MPs) overnight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#House_of_Commons.

Apart from those comparisons, the Twitter-twits might like to consider what this blog has been saying for the past week, as have some others (though not enough) even in the msm: Labour did not win by some kind of popular “landslide”, but only in terms of seats conferred by a totally unfit-for-purpose electoral system.

As noted on the blog in past days, at GE 2024 the Conservative Party only got (just over) 1.5x the number/percentage of votes of Reform UK, and even Labour only got (below) 2.5x the Reform UK vote-share.

As put on the blog the other day, out of every 20 eligible voters, only 12 even voted.

In very rough terms, out of that eligible 20 voters, 8 voters abstained, 4 voters voted Lab, 3 voters voted Con, 2 voters voted Reform, 2 voters voted LibDem, and 1 voter voted Green.

Not exactly, and “other parties were available”, but 90.29% of UK voters voted for one of those 5 parties. In England specifically, about 97% of voters voted Lab, Con, Reform, LibDem or Green.

The Twitter-Twits tweeting about Reform UK are mostly Labour supporters who belittle Reform because only 2 out of every 12 voters who voted voted for it, yet only 4 out of 12 (4 out of 20 if you count the abstainers) voted Labour.

I happened to notice one particular Twitter/X account, one “@RobBaron10”, who today (as of 1430) has already managed to put out about 29 Twitter/X “replies”, almost all angrily insulting, and all or almost all completely brainless. I have to say that I am loath to give much credence to someone whose Twitter/X profile says “Retired lecturer in philosophy trying to live a low-impact lifestyle. Despises the far-right and social injustice. Responds in the tone responded to.” Especially when said “retired lecturer in philosophy” thinks that “toe the line” is spelled “tow the line“…

Indeed, looking at the tweets copied below, it may be that “RobBaron10” deserves a place in my updated essay on the links between “antifascists” and/or Zionists, and mental illness: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/

More seriously, if Starmer-Labour MPs and supporters think that the absurd result of GE 2024 gives Starmer the right to impose a “woke”, and also Israel-lobby, tyranny on the people of the UK, he and they are very much mistaken.

Remember those figures— only 4 out of 12 who voted (<34%) voted Labour; only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters (~20%) voted Labour.

American citizens stand with Russia, not Ukraine. Russia is an orthodox Christian nation, a sovereign nation, doesn’t pander to illegals aliens, was lied to by Ukraine, the U.S and NATO and had forces put on their border, a violation of previous promises made. Ukraine is in bed with the illegal covert bio weapons laboratory facility’s doing gain of function. Ukraine is the most corruption country in Europe, a money laundering hub, a child trafficking hub and a live organ black market dealing hub. Fuck Ukraine and punk ass Zelensky!

That stupid woman must have the mother and father of all social connection address books…incredible.

Also most railways, most electricity, and most other energy production and distribution.

All part of the “blacks with everything” mass media cultural cafeteria (non-)”choice”.

That visage puts me in mind of some kind of lizard.

Along with the “gift”, he also sent an accompanying written appeal, in which he called on American politicians to stop supplying the Ukrainian armed forces with weapons and money in order to stop the bloodshed and the escalation of the conflict.

One of the great American symphonies.
