Tamworth and Mid-Bedfordshire by-elections 2023

Tamworth constituency has a fairly ancient history (on various different boundaries and names), going back to the 13th Century. Its most famous MP was Sir Robert Peel, who represented the town from 1830-1850 (he was MP for three other places from 1809-1830), and who was Prime Minister 1834-1835 and 1841-1846: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Peel.

The most recent MP, the appropriately-named Chris Pincher, was rather less distinguished, having been finally forced to resign in 2023 after several years of having been accused, then eventually adjudged guilty, of having sexually molested men, including MPs, in bars.

Looking at his Wikipedia entry, it seems that Pincher only became an MP in 2010, at age 41, and had done nothing very interesting prior to that (though Wikipedia is not infallible). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Pincher.

Tamworth, on its present boundaries, was held by Labour from 1997 (when the present seat was brought into being) until 2010; Pincher failed to secure the seat in 2005, but took it in 2010 with a vote-share of 45.8%. Thereafter, his percentage vote increased at every election, peaking in 2019 at 66.3%.

At that 2019 election, Labour Co-op came in second, but poorly, on 23.7%. The other 4 candidates were very much also-rans, only the LibDems retaining their deposit (with 5.3%).

The by-election will be held on 19 October 2023, and has attracted 9 candidates: Conservative, Labour, LibDem, Green, UKIP, Reform (the latest Farage vehicle), Britain First, Monster Raving Loony, and an independent. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-66864806 for candidates’ details.

This is probably a Con-Lab 2-horse race, with the LibDems possibly having a slim outsider chance. The Guardian has talked to a few voters: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/sep/30/tamworth-voters-byelection-tories-chris-pincher

The Government is obviously deeply unpopular, and also seen as useless. However, Labour is not much liked either. There may be protest vote possibilities, but the main object may be to send a message to the Government, and I suppose that a vote for Labour is most likely to cause the Government pain, if it results in the by-election ending with a Labour win.

Hard for me to call. I have only once even driven through the town, and that was long ago. Not an area I know. Overall, it seems to me that the LibDems are too marginal here to have much chance, so it is between Con and Lab. To elect the Labour candidate would require a huge swing, but I think that it must be possible, as public feeling now stands.

If Labour can pull it off at Tamworth, the 2024 General Election will look sealed. The over-used word “seismic” comes to mind.

So we turn to Mid-Bedfordshire.

Nadine Dorries had to be almost forced out of the seat she had held since 2005, and which had provided her with a good income; both salary and very inflated expenses. She was lucky to have avoided prosecution. A very stupid, entirely uneducated, but withal cunning woman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Dorries.

The by-election, to be held on 19 October 2023, the same day as that at Tamworth, has attracted no less than 13 candidates, mostly minor or crank.

Nadine Dorries scored 59.8% at the 2019 General Election (Labour 21.7%, LibDems 12.6%).

Mid-Bedfordshire has been a Conservative Party seat since the 1920s.

This would normally be a shoo-in for the Conservative Party candidate, but several factors make that less than likely. Anger at the freeloading and fraudulent behaviour of Nadine Dorries. The general anger at the present Government. Perhaps also the fact that the Con candidate is a careerist black: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festus_Akinbusoye.

The Conservative Party candidate is presently Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire, only came to the UK at 13 from his native Nigeria, and is a Mormon.

The opinion polls have Con and Lab neck and neck, with the LibDems not far behind. Tactical voting may play the decisive role, but does that mean anti-Con voters voting Labour, or voting LibDem?

Reform, the Farage vehicle, is polling around 7%, as is county council chairman Gareth Mackey, standing as Independent.

Very hard to call, but Labour may just have the edge.

I suppose that the other point is that Sunak may be pressured to stand down as Con Party leader if one contest is lost (or only if both are lost?).

[Update, 22 January 2024: in the end, Labour won both by-elections.

At Tamworth, the Labour candidate won with 45.8% of the vote, Con Party in second with 40.7%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Tamworth_by-election.

In Mid-Bedfordshire, the result was even closer, Labour winning with 34.1% of the vote, Con 31.1%, and the LibDems doing well in third on 23.1%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Mid_Bedfordshire_by-election.

In both by-elections, Reform UK proved underwhelming (4th and 5th placed, respectively).

Sunak did not resign, despite the double loss.].

Whatever may be said of Labour or Angela Rayner, that tweet is surely correct. The 2024 General Election is Labour’s to lose. The Conservative Party is just dissolving. I notice that evil sociopath Chris Grayling is now not going to stand for re-election.

Having said that, I see many white-haired and grey-haired people at that Labour show. All System parties are dying, and have few young people supporting them.

Exactly. A million a year coming in, and only a few hundred thousand people (mostly real Brits) leaving (for Australia, New Zealand etc) each year. Result— misery.

Actually, many of the replies to the above tweet show how unthinking the self-describing “Left” pseudo-socialists are. They really think that importing millions of backward persons has no effect on housing provision etc; either that, or they do not care. They really should be regarded and treated as outright traitors.

Well, looking at Downing Street this evening, does anyone now doubt what embedded group is pulling the strings of both the “Conservative” and “Labour” parties?

According to the Turkish sources, due to dwindling stocks of Iron Dome missiles, the Israeli army is not supplying ammunition to some units armed with the complex, with the exception of three batteries in Tel Aviv, one battery in Jerusalem and one battery in Netivot in southern Israel.

The seven batteries do not supply any ammunition or fire, and they only have a limited number of anti-aircraft guided missiles in case Palestinian missiles fly towards critical targets. This explains the fact that launches on Ashkelon, Ashdod and Sderot cause virtually no opposition.”

Owen Jones also had a few words to say about me on Twitter:

That was Owen Jones joining in the Jew-Zionist-led msm attack on me 7 years ago, immediately after my wrongful and (as it now transpires) unlawful disbarment. He also colluded with depressive sex pest John Woodcock MP (now, and risibly, “Lord Walney”) to get me blocked by people on Twitter.

Woodcock/”Walney” was at one time the Chair of Labour Friends of Israel; Jones is part-Jew (either quarter or half: see my assessment of him above).

Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election

Regular readers of the blog will know that I comment rarely on Scottish politics in detail. However, a few words about the by-election.

Obvious points:

Labour won convincingly, its candidate a 35-y-o who resigned from Labour over “antisemitism”, rejoined after Starmer took over, and is a local schoolteacher: https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23511246.labour-pick-activist-quit-party-by-election-candidate/; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Shanks_(politician).

The SNP crashed from 44.2% in 2019 to 27.5%. To what extent that reflects hostility to the former MP, to the “nationalist” SNP having a Pakistani leader, to the Sturgeon scandal, and/or to the SNP’s failing record in government, is hard to say. Whether the result also reflects disenchantment with the idea of breaking away from the UK is also hard to say. Maybe a mixture of all of the foregoing.

For me, the fall in Conservative Party support from 15% to 3.9% is significant. The previous lowest point had been in 2005 (8.4%). A straw in the wind re. the 2024 General Election. At present, it looks as if only the safest Conservative seats (in England) will be held next year.

Turnout was only 37.2%, scarcely more than half of that in 2019. People are aware that the electoral system is just a rigged con-trick most of the time.

According to a poll from King’s College London, one in three British people believe the great replacement is happening. By the standards of liberal discourse, this means one third of the British public are far-right extremists, holding a view that is never represented in mainstream media and censored off most social media. Despite the heavy censorship and vilification of people who hold this view, people see the reality of rapidly changing demographics in their homelands.

Almost half the people polled disagreed. Are they blind, or just stupid?!

This week, the Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson addressed the nation on the “unprecedented” rise in gang-related violence, calling on the military to assist the police in a situation that is increasingly out of control. Kristersson blamed “irresponsible immigration policy” and “failed integration” for this worsening crisis, stating: “Political naivety and cluelessness have brought us to this point. Irresponsible immigration policy and failed integration have brought us to this point.

Exclusion and parallel societies feed the criminal gangs, providing space for them to ruthlessly recruit children and train future killers.”

11 people were shot dead last month alone in Sweden, the second highest ever recorded in a single month.

Sweden’s upsurge in violent crime coincided with a large rise in inward migration in the 2010s. Sexual assault also rose under the previous self-labelled “feminist government”. A report in 2018 found that 8 in 10 ‘stranger’ rapes were carried out by migrants.”

God bless all those standing up for freedom of expression in the Britain of 2023.

The Jew-Zionists coined the word “lawfare” to describe their own abuse of the English (etc) law.

@LozzaFox is restricted on what he can and cannot say on twitter by his bail conditions. The police are using their powers to control what is said on social media. When they release a rapist on bail, are they restricting them from going near anyone else? This is deep state control of free speech, it’s dangerous, it’s unacceptable, and the police need to be reigned in on this before it goes any further.

Alison Chabloz was likewise gagged. I myself am on unconditional bail, and so am restricted only by the need to avoid any perceived contempt of court prior to my expected trial in about 6 weeks’ time.

The Kremlin is establishing “deep and strong” cooperation with countries that are hostile to the West, including China, North Korea, Iran – Foreign Affairs [magazine].

Western analysts believe that portraying Russia as a “rogue state” is a failed strategy, since this makes the Russian Federation a valuable partner for countries that were previously “undecided” on which side to take, and also strengthened relations with former allies.

Ukraine’s $24 billion aid package no longer safe – The Washington Post Due to the chaos caused by the removal of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the Biden administration is now deciding whether to seek a large sum for Kiev or to implement a smaller, short-term package of measures, according to the Washington Post.

According to the high-ranking official, the new strategy of supporting Ukraine will largely depend on who will become the next speaker and what kind of agreement they will be able to make with him, the article states.

Earlier this week, while announcing a new $5.3 billion aid package to Kiev, EU foreign policy and security chief Josep Borrell said the bloc was unable to compensate Ukraine for the amount of aid the United States had suspended.”

The President of the Russian Federation announced yesterday that the Burevestnik rocket had been successfully tested. This is a nuclear-powered global-range cruise missile. A rocket like no other in the world. Russian scientists and constructors, who started working back in Soviet times, made another step forward.”

Many a true word spoken in jest…I remember a visitor from the Soviet Union, one Alex (not the MP above, of course), joking with me during a similar prison accommodation crisis (in 1987, I think, and seen on Channel 4 News) that the British Government should make a deal with the Soviet Government to house Brit convicts. Alex said that he could guarantee that the Soviet Government would turn a profit on it.

He ought to have known, he himself having been arrested and convicted, on entirely invented evidence, of having been a spy for a number of secret services. He had been about 18 at the time, and the arrest came in 1948, the peak of the postwar purge. He had then spent 5 years in a camp in the region of Archangel in Northern Russia. Stalin’s death in 1953 had saved him, and millions of others, from longer or worse.

Incidentally, her basic salary at John Lewis has been £990,000 p.a., nearly three times her previous salary (for 4 years) as head of OFCOM.

She has other revenue streams as well.

Incidentally, I myself often use Waitrose, which is part of the John Lewis Group. The decline , particularly since 2020, has been sad to see. The range and also quality of fruit and vegetables is much reduced, the formerly stellar customer service has almost gone, and there have been other disagreeable changes, while the prices have soared.

Hard to know where to place the blame, though, in circumstances where we have seen Brexit, the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, the pathetic anti-Covid “measures” put in place, staff shortages locally, and general inflation.

The other day, I bought a small bottle of (40%/Vol) Kirsch. About £9.50. A few years ago, the price was £6.50 or £7. Hardly a typical everyday purchase, even for me, but not dissimilar to other items in its increased cost.

No wonder most Ukrainians are trying to avoid or evade being used as cannon-fodder.

Collapsed support: a major failure?” For the second day in a row, the German Bild informs its readers that all is lost – despair reigns in Kiev, the situation is critical, and Western supporters are inclined to negotiate. “Soldier fatigue” is one of the biggest dangers.

At the same time, it is absolutely obvious: the situation for Ukraine has not become any less, but even more threatening! The counteroffensive is going less successfully than the Ukrainians and the West would like. The number of victims is extremely high. There is no necessary support in arms from the West. And Russia can produce more per day than the West, despite the sanctions.”

Conservative Party Conference

Saw a few minutes of Sunak’s speech. Pretty pathetic. The HS2 fiasco has become symbolic. Not that I was ever anything other than opposed to the ridiculous vanity project anyway, but now we have massive cost, massive environmental damage etc, but no useful train line at all, just a line that goes to or from Birmingham but only to an outer suburb of London, thus losing its purpose altogether. As said, pathetic.

It seems that Sunak is trying to portray himself as a Prime Minister, when the whole country knows that his popularity (as was that of even more useless Liz Truss) has never been tested via General Election. The longer Sunak holds on, and the longer he puts off a General Election, the worse his position is likely to become. However, if a general election were to be held this year, the result would almost certainly be a disaster for the Conservative Party, and the number of its MPs likely be reduced to around 100, maybe only 50 or so. Therefore, the circus will have to continue into 2024, maybe until December 2024.

Brilliant, and very true.

The Conservative Party Conference 2023. Hard to believe, for anyone who remembers the same convention in the 1970s, 1980s, even 1990s.

Do they support those areas having high fences around them?…

Out of 5 or 6 polling organizations, the highest Labour mark at present is 47%, the lowest 43%; the highest Con mark is 30%, the lowest 24%. LibDems are in the 9%-13% area.

Those figures could give a Labour Party majority of anywhere between 120 and 322 seats, according to Electoral Calculus: see https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

One usually expects a narrowing of the polls prior to a General Election, and there is still maybe as long as 14 months to go before the 2024 General Election, but there is no sign of Con Party revival so far. In fact, the empty conference hall at Manchester is symbolic of what is happening in the country. Even dyed-in-the-wool Conservative voters are deserting, I believe. They are not going to Labour, most of them, but are either going to protest-vote via Reform Party or the LibDems, or simply abstain.

As for Con Party MPs, many are deserting the sinking ship. There is no unity. Even Suella Braverman’s attempt to capture the populist vote has foundered. Useless former Home Secretary (and Israeli agent of influence) Priti Patel has criticized Suella Braverman, as has the Indian money-juggler himself (Sunak).

At the moment, it looks as if Labour will win a huge victory by default. That might change, but how?

Traitors to Europe’s future dance with enemy invaders. I know what I would do to them.

…and see how many passers-by ignore the degeneracy. Brainwashed. Supine.

There was once a time when being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes was a death sentence. The ancient Egyptians first described the disease more than 3,000 years ago. During the many centuries that followed, parents would helplessly watch as their diabetic children slipped into comas and died.

By the 18th century, doctors discovered that a heavily modified diet could slow the disease. Many children were placed on starvation diets with limited carbs, which helped prolong their lives. However, such treatments were not very effective, and some children even starved to death. Fast forward to 1922, when a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital, where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetes. These children were in their deathbeds.

The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject each of them with a new purified extract of insulin that they were able to successfully isolate. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one that was injected began to wake up. Soon, all the children in the room began to wake up—one by one!

The scientists responsible for saving the children’s lives were Frederick Banting and Charles Best. They both agreed that it would be unethical to profit from a discovery that could potentially save millions of lives. They sold the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1. “Insulin belongs to the world, not me,” said Banting.

Not only talented but also extremely altruistic.

I have to admit that, were I in their position, I might have kept the patent for my lifetime, and used the proceeds for my own humanitarian and conservation projects. They decided otherwise, as did another brilliant person, Tim Berners-Lee, the main force behind the World Wide Web.

HS2 should never have been approved. There were and are so many better uses for funding on that scale, even within the transport sector itself.

If not confronted at sea, they will have to be confronted later on land, in Rome, Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Stockholm, or London.

Basic Income will have to come, sooner or later.

“Ukraine” of the Kiev regime has long been a “failed state”; now it is not really a state at all.


Russia cannot lose this war, strategically.

The same or a similar social crisis as across Eurasia. The Japanese and others (including the UK) need to put in place social programmes to ensure that suitable young women reproduce (while the State reduces, steadily, immigrant infiltration). #Lebensborn.

Ben Wallace, a washed-up one-time Guards officer (whose highest rank was Captain), and who is now politically washed-up as well (he ceases to be an MP soon, before the next General Election in 2024) has nothing to add of value.

If the police, prosecutors, and courts behave like enemies, then they are enemies.

I say the same (“very or fairly bad”) about all of those categories, except the buses and the fire service, where I should have to answer “don’t know“.

In the news: Ken Loach (and thoughts arising)

https://www.dazeddigital.com/film-tv/article/60979/1/ken-loach-interview-the-old-oak-2023-keir-starmer-labour?s=09

“Ken Loach: ‘Keir Starmer is the worst Labour leader there’s ever been’.

In a no-holds-barred interview, the iconic filmmaker discusses his new film The Old Oak and the current state of the Labour party.

“…Starmer playing political tricks, the dishonest politician that he is. Unprincipled. Seeks power while breaking every promise that he made to get elected.”

What does Loach think about Labour at the moment?

“The Labour Party now is setting out to be the party of the establishment, like under Blair. Blair did what big business wanted, and Starmer will do the same. But the situation is now even worse, so the demands of big business are even more aggressive, and Starmer will do what big business wants. That’s his politics. He’s said as much. His team of similarly unprincipled politicians will do the same. Well, they have a principle, and that’s to support big business. They’ll do everything that big business wants.”

Largely correct, but many of the old-fashioned type of socialist still around today, such as Ken Loach (or Jeremy Corbyn), have no developed sense of race and culture (unlike an older generation, such as Jack London, who said “I am a socialist, but a white man first“).

For Loach and his type of socialist. everything is attributed to class, and/or wealth-disparity. Thus is explained away (read the full interview) why poor Northern English people do not want to live alongside equally-poor Middle Eastern migrant-invaders. Competition for scarce resources etc.

Loach does not seem to consider that, in places such as Knightsbridge, wealthy English people do not want to live alongside equally-wealthy (or more wealthy) Arabs and others, and often deride their behaviour and lifestyles. What price Marx and Engels in that situation?

Social-nationalism is both social and national. The clue is in the name.

Of course, Loach is right about Starmer. That puppet of Israel and the Jewish-Zionist lobby is indeed the creature of what Loach calls “big business” (etc). The System is now ready to transfer power to a group operating under Labour labelling rather than under (as at present) “Conservative” labelling.

Starmer and his in-group (Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves etc), all “Israel-firsters” of course, are basically dictators in search of a dictatorship. They hope that, as under Blair and Brown, the UK electoral system will deliver an “elected dictatorship”.

I myself look upon the 2024 contest as essentially meaningless in big-picture terms: the same policies will be implemented as have been over the past 13 years, or the past 25.

Blacks and browns will continue to be funnelled into Europe (including the UK) at the same level, more or less; possibly even at a higher volume. The living standards of the UK population will continue to fall, overall (deliberately so). Free speech and freedom of expression will be restricted ever further (just as the Jewish lobby wants to happen). Arms and ammunition (and money) will continue to be transferred to the Kiev regime.

In respect of 2024, I want the impossible; I want both main System parties to fail. It seems, though, that one, the Conservative Party, will fail first. Everything I see now tells me that former Conservative Party voters are abandoning the Con Party: see, for example, https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/sep/30/tory-turmoil-as-third-of-voters-desert-party-and-factions-launch-rival-manifestoes.

Only 60% of former Conservative voters are (at present) intending to vote Conservative, though not all are defecting to Labour or the LibDems. Such abstention or protest-voting still boosts Labour’s chances, of course.

The Government is clueless. Look at Sunak’s response to Suella Braverman’s speech about migration-invasion. Feeble. The one thing that might save the Con Party from near-destruction next year, if it involved deeds as well as words, and the Indian money-juggler, Sunak, does not want to know!

Beyond the opinion polling, I sense that, deep down, there is a consciousness, in many hearts and minds, that the UK (and all Europe) is suffering from malaise, and that rigged “democratic” elections cannot solve the (possibly existential) problems that White Europe now faces.

Not so much “they” as (((they)))…

Several European countries are now rowing back on support for the Kiev regime, and the bankrollers in Washington have realized that most of their financial and military support is being wasted or stolen.

Once the USA has a new President, support for the Kiev regime will dwindle or even stop, and about 6 months after that, Kiev will be taken by Russian forces.

In UK money, nearly £700 per month.

If Kiev falls, and a rump Ukrainian state comes into being, Lvov will probably be its capital.

A problem all the System parties have had to face for 15-20 years, partly because the party “conferences” are now just TV opportunities, designed to get a minute or two on TV news broadcasts. No debate, no dissent, no interest. So most party members do not bother to attend, knowing that they will be just spear-carriers in a TV news bore-fest.

With good reason. Germany’s main cities, and many smaller towns, were flattened by Western area bombing in the years 1941-1945, and/or brutally occupied by Soviet forces in 1944-1945. Germany must avoid another major European war. It is senseless to keep backing the corrupt, shambolic, and brutal Kiev regime.

Well, once again a narrow victory for me over political journalist John Rentoul. I scored 7/10 as against his 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 4, and 10.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12576995/SUE-REID-Theres-murder-week-farms-South-Africa-year-race-baiting-Marxist-loves-singing-Kill-Boer-set-Vice-President.html.

“They came at breakfast time to murder Theo Bekker, smashing an iron bar stolen from his own farmyard into his skull before slitting his throat so he bled to death.

His four teenage attackers then tied up his wife, Marlinda, and put a plastic bag over her head before she slipped into unconsciousness. Mercifully, she survived.

Twenty-four hours before Mr Bekker’s killing, the nation’s most controversial politician, Julius Malema, had chanted an anthem entitled ‘Kill the Boer’ — a term for white farmers — at a rally of 90,000 followers.

High above the dancing crowd in Johannesburg’s black township of Soweto, Malema was raised on an electric platform like a king.

Sporting his signature red beret, the self-proclaimed ‘freedom fighter’ mimicked the sound of a sub-machine gun — ‘Pah, pah, brrr!’ — as he shouted out his race-baiting song calling for the death of his white countrymen.

This ugly rally marked the 10th anniversary of the founding of Malema’s party, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). It declares itself Marxist-Leninist, wants to seize private property without compensation — particularly farms such as Theo Bekker’s — just as Malema’s hero, Robert Mugabe, did in neighbouring Zimbabwe.

In the past 20 years there has been a farm attack every two days and a murder every five days, with whites of Afrikaans or English descent mainly targeted.

Andrew Kenny, a respected South African commentator, said recently: ‘The ANC has been a disaster, especially for ordinary black people whom it has impoverished while making a tiny ANC elite fabulously rich.

‘After apartheid, our electricity provided the world’s cheapest energy; freight trains carried our ore (from the mines) to the ports; there was a good passenger network for workers. The ANC wrecked it with looting, corruption and a plethora of racist policies.’

The result has been economic collapse and mass exodus. A fifth of whites — both Afrikaans and English speakers — have left since the ANC came to power.

Emigration among the entrepreneurial Indian-descended community is high, too.

Meanwhile, the middle class have abandoned the ANC-controlled cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria in the north — now plagued by no-go areas, ransacked shops, gang warfare and other crime fuelled by unemployment.

They have settled in the Western Cape, the only part of South Africa that is run by the moderate Democratic Alliance.

The speed of the country’s descent has been devastating. Today, only 12 per cent of South Africans of working age pay income tax, while a third survive on £15-a-month state handouts.

World Bank analysts say a staggering 42 per cent of the adult population — the majority black — is unemployed.

[Daily Mail]

Several points to be made here.

First, Africa without European input descends inevitably to savagery. South Africa took longer than others to fall from being a fairly civilized country because it still had, in the 1990s, a fairly high proportion of European inhabitants. In 1911 it was 22%, and in 1980 still about 16%. That proportion has now dwindled to about 5%. Also, many of the more senior political and administrative positions are now filled, nominally, by blacks, selected purely on racial grounds.

Secondly, the black man was promised the Earth by the ANC and its stupid and/or uneducated leaders, starting with Mandela. The simpler type of South African black obviously believed that, once black “majority rule” (in reality, rule by a few, in a black semi-dictatorship) occurred, the blacks would all have the high standards of living of South African whites of the 1960s, 1970s or 1980s; houses, swimming pools, cars etc. In fact, for a few blacks, the leading ANC politicians, that did happen, but for the other 99.999% or more it did not.

The frustration of the South African blacks will be visited upon, not the ANC, but the remaining white people.

Thirdly, the lack of forethought etc under ANC rule became clear during the most recent drought, though wetter weather eventually saved Cape Town from disaster. That maladministration will eventually be seen in all sectors.

Finally, see how even the Daily Mail scribbler in the full report, one Sue Reid, still repeats the propaganda half-truths or untruths of the dim pro-ANC “British” msm of the 1980s/1990s: “cruel apartheid regime” etc…

If Indian money-juggler Sunak thinks that he can duck and dive by keeping the State Pension “Triple Lock” but clawing back money by taking away the Winter Fuel Allowance from many, perhaps most, pensioners, he is very mistaken. That would alienate pensioner voters, but without encouraging younger voters to vote Con in 2024.

Sweden (its ruling circles at least, together with complicit msm and courts etc) thought that the blacks and browns would just become “New Swedes”. They really were that stupid. Now look at the UK. Same nonsense.

The implementation of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan (basically, to funnel non-white populations to Europe, in order to create over time a coffee-coloured population to be ruled over by an exploitative stratum, mostly consisting of Jews and part-Jews) is happening in front of our eyes; in plain sight, pretty much.

I wonder whether that horrible social “disintegration” may be what is necessary to awaken the British people to the need for social national radical reform. Germany only chose Hitler when events and circumstances had reduced most of the population to poverty and hopelessness. Only 2.6% voted for the NSDAP in 1928. By 1932 that was 33% and, by 1933, 44%.

Not only can they not create a civilization, many of them cannot even live in one created by others (broadly, the white man) without being completely destructive and useless. Parasites. Useless parasites.

We hear a great deal, mostly from (((the usual suspects))) about how the USA was built on waves on immigration, but that is at best a half-truth. There is considerable evidence that the USA would have been a better country had it not accepted the huge numbers of immigrants arriving after the Civil War (up to the First World War and continuing).

David Davis, one of the few principled System MPs, not that I agree with all of his views. The UK might have been a better country today had the Conservative Party adopted him as leader instead of David Cameron-Levita.

UKRAINIAN President Vladimir Zelensky agreed with the representatives of the United States and Great Britain on a plan for a new offensive by his army, the goal of which will be the seizure of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

This was announced by the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, citing a “source close to the competent authorities”. She quoted that source: “For these purposes, a large number of marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are concentrated in the Mykolaiv region. Their task will be to force the Dnieper River. At the same time, the Kiev special operations forces, which are trained by British instructors, will try to seize the Zaporozhye nuclear plant.”

“We are closely following the actions of the enemy,” the same source emphasized.”

“Scott Ritter: Kiev listens to the West, and because of that, it can lose a number of cities.

Ukraine is doomed to lose a large part of its territory because it continues to blindly listen to the West in everything, said former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter in an interview with the YouTube channel “Midwestern Marks”.

“Representatives of Ukraine came to Turkey…. A meeting was held there where the conditions for resolving the conflict were agreed upon. Russia offered them excellent conditions… But NATO and the West did not allow them to accept it…

As a result, they have already lost a lot of territory,” Ritter said, adding that Ukraine is also at risk of losing Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Odessa.

Russia has invested more in the Kherson region in one year than Ukraine has invested in 30 years, said the head of the regional government Andrey Aleksejenko, on the occasion of the anniversary of the unification of the new regions with Russia.

“It must be said that the Kherson region has not seen such a scale of construction and repair of roads, schools, hospitals and communal infrastructure since Soviet times,” Aleksejenko said.”

“Heavy rains in October may prevent the Ukrainian army from using Western tanks, writes the “New York Times”. “Heavy rain is expected next month. However, the problem is the mud on the roads because, for example, the 75-ton “Challenger” tank can simply sink,” the newspaper writes.

If these tanks do not “conquer” the territory during the counter-offensive, Western support could weaken… Either because of a lack of political will or a lack of the West’s desire to deliver more weapons to Kiev, the authors emphasize.”

Russia cannot lose the war, strategically.

“Covid” thoughts

I was thinking about the hysteria that surrounded the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic.

Certainly there was at least some tangible reality there, to a limited extent, but much of what we witnessed may have been attributable to mass hysteria. I was reading a piece in Wikipedia about some instances of that:

  • Emirates Flight 203 (September 2018) – 106 of 521 passengers on a 14-hour flight from Dubai to New York reported symptoms including coughing, sneezing, fever, or vomiting. The pilot notified airport ground staff, and personnel from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention met and quarantined the plane in New York and evaluated passengers, 11 of whom were sent to the hospital. A few passengers on the “flight from hell” turned out to have common colds or flu, with the other passengers coming to the belief that they were also sick after observing those around them.[65][66]

Makes one think. See also:

  • Starehe Girls’ CentreKenya (October 2019) – 52 students were isolated with an unknown disease, showing symptoms of a high-pitched cough, sneezing and low-grade fever, a number that later rose to 68.[68] As the number rose, the school’s administration shut the school down and instructed parents to pick up their daughters. Specimens collected from the affected students showed only two cases of rhinovirus, a virus that is the predominant cause of the common cold. After carrying out psychological assessments on the students, a team of mental health specialists dispatched by Kenya’s Ministry of Health to the school concluded that the ‘mysterious’ disease was a case of mass hysteria.”
  • Belgium (June 1999) – Coca-Cola withdrew 30 million units of its soft-drink product from sale after more than a hundred people in Belgium and northern France complained of cramps, nausea and other problems after consuming the soft drinks. Testing found no evidence of tainted product and the incident was reported to be a panic, perhaps fueled by the discovery of dioxins in Belgian meat, which had brought down the national government earlier that year.”

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_hysteria_cases].

The above-described cases were spontaneous, but the “Covid” hysteria was deliberately whipped up by State agencies, by System politicians, and by the transnational conspiracy.

Now, the hangover: deflated populations, and a huge bill for all the State monies wasted.

The wanton vandalism of the destruction of the 300-year-old tree reminds us that Evil is not merely a philosophical notion but primarily an active force which, in the human being, encourages destruction, as in the damage done many times to the statue of The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen. That small and beautiful statue has several times been vandalized: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_(statue).

I never liked that peculiar little individual (Andrew Lloyd Webber), though I concede that I have never met him, and also cannot say exactly why I have always disliked him. Just instinct, I suppose. I also suppose that many will cite the pleasure his music has apparently given to millions. No argument. I just do not like what I have seen, heard, or read of him, and that is my privilege. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Lloyd_Webber.

The line of defense of the Russian troops turned out to be stronger than the West thought, said Chief of the Defense Staff of the British Armed Forces Tony Radakin. According to him, it is necessary to adjust expectations from the results of Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the short term.

So Admiral Radakin and his colleagues in Defence, SIS, the System political swamp etc got it all wrong (again), despite all the resources that they can command, yet I, sitting in poor circumstances, and with only my own knowledge and an Internet connection, got it right (again).

Britain is poorly served by its “experts” of all sorts, and particularly the armed services, Foreign Office and SIS.

I was just idly wondering whether it would make any difference at all to this country if we had no Army, Navy, and Air Force.

At first blush, that might sound ridiculous, but in the real world of today, what do our armed services do for us?

Let us say that the UK had only the nuclear deterrent, whether based at sea or on land. What about the rest? What use is most of our Navy now? We are unlikely to want to fight the enemies of the past few hundred years (eg France, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Japan), and anyway our Navy is now so small as to be dwarfed by our potential or supposed enemies (China? Russia?), let alone our supposed main ally (in reality, strategic overlord), the USA.

The Royal Navy cannot even protect us from the migration-invasion; indeed, it acts as a ferry service for it, along with others (RNLI, Border “Farce” etc).

The same is largely true of the RAF. As for the Army, it is now so small that it has little capability for doing anything very much.

Are our armed forces an anachronism, as things stand?

At least plant many other trees in its honour.

I blogged about this yesterday.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable” [John F. Kennedy].

System politicians and System msm talking heads and scribblers are desperate to keep those truths from the British people, desperate to talk about almost anything else, to exclude those realities.

You can see the pro-migration (or not anti, anyway) “I’m not listening” types on Twitter/”X”, in the replies to Goodwin’s tweet, putting forward their ideas for why Goodwin is mistaken, or rather as to what is driving mass migration to Europe (“climate change” etc). Some of the gravediggers of our way of life and our whole civilization.

The question I want to ask the liberal left is simply this. If you disagree with Suella Braverman then what is YOUR solution to the global migration crisis? Because deriding everybody as “racist” and talking in vague terms about safe & legal routes with no limit is no solution at all.” [Matt Goodwin].

Exactly. The “liberal” pro-migration-invasion dummies and “refugees welcome” dimwits have no answer to that or to anything else. Take housing. They say the Government should magically create millions of new houses (hutches for immigrants), despite the cost(both financial and environmental). They also have no answer at all to the question as to how many millions or tens of millions of migrants they think acceptable.

Incidentally, I blogged about part-Jew Owen Jones five years or so ago: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/04/a-brief-word-about-owen-jones/.

The only way the misnamed “Conservative” Party might claw its way back would be to, first of all, back Suella Braverman’s views not only by words but by tough and uncompromising deeds, but I see no sign that Indian money-juggler Sunak, completely controlled by the transnational conspiracy, might do anything like that.

Indeed, it might be that Sunak and others want their own party to go down badly in 2024, in order to install Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer as an “elected dictator”, doing the bidding of the Zionists, the Bilderbergers, the freemasonic cabals, the WEF etc. Elimination of freedom of expression (already cut back hugely) etc.

Admittedly, a “conspiratorial” suggestion, but maybe right all the same…

As I said yesterday, ironic that the only voice in Government speaking the truth (some of it) about the migration-invasion of Europe is an Indian woman married to a Jew. Strange times…

It does a bit deeper than the “corporate money train“. Part of the “Great Reset” is the increasingly-pervasive censorship across the world, and very obvious in the UK these days.

Actually, when you look at tweets by the “FBPE” idiots, the “Supertanskiii” types etc, you see that the self-describing “Left” and or pseudo-liberals have actually nothing to say about ideology, policy etc. Their main joy is seeing people get “cancelled”, dismissed from jobs, expelled from professions, sacked from positions etc for expressing the “wrong” views, or just for not going along with the mob.

The self-describing “Left” have pretty much given up trying to create or push for a better society, and anyway have no real ideas about how to achieve that, and so they settle for this sterile “cancel culture”: getting people expelled from Twitter or Youtube etc, getting people dismissed from even quite standard jobs, and so on. That, and tweeting rubbish in the “Supertanskiii” vein, such as about how they “f*****g hate” “Tories” and various other labelled people.

Most of this, maybe not all, has its roots in the Jew-Zionist attempts over the past half-century or so to destroy free speech about Jewish behaviour and/or the whole “holocaust” farrago. It has now leaked out from there —mostly from there, in my view— and contaminates society generally.

…and when it is said there that “1.2M people entered the country; 600,000 net” last year alone, what that really means is that 1.2M (mostly black and brown) entered the UK, and that, yes, 600,000 people left, but many —perhaps most— of the 600,000 that left were real British people fleeing to countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada. So 1.2M non-whites entered, and 900,000+ remain, whereas 300,000+ white British people left, so the population was altered demographically by not far short of a million, from white to non-white.

“Secretary of the Security and Defense Council of Ukraine O. Danilov doubts that the West will support Ukraine “until victory.”

To this day, no one can give us a clear answer as to what our victory means. They tell us, we will support you until.. etc. and I have never heard the phrase “victory” anywhere. They say, “until you decide for yourself and make certain decisions. “And they should clearly say – they are with us until victory or they are with us for some time – said Danilov.”

Victory“? Meaning what? Ukrainian (Kiev regime) forces in Red Square? Occupation of Russia, a country about 30x bigger than Ukraine, and with a population 4x that of Ukraine? Destruction of Russian armies and/or cities (when Russia has about 6,000 nuclear weapons, and Ukraine has…none)?

That thug, Danilov, does not explain further; nor, realistically, could he.

The conflict in Ukraine will end in disaster for the Ukrainian armed forces.

If the Ukrainian armed forces do not stop in time with a counter-offensive, this country will face a catastrophic defeat, writes “New York Times” journalist David French.

The commanders of the Ukrainian armed forces plan to push the soldiers to fight to the breaking point. However, remember the German Spring Offensive in 1918, towards the end of the First World War. The German army dealt blow after blow to the Allies, but achieved little success.” the journalist writes.

When Western support for Ukraine becomes weaker, the conflict will end with the defeat of the Ukrainian armed forces, emphasizes French.”

Well, a modest 5/10 this week, though still beating political journalist John Rentoul’s 4/10. I missed the answer to question 9 by one year, and (also) did not know the answers to questions 2, 3 (just missed), 5, and 10.

From the newspapers

Migration could help to ‘dissolve’ the European Union due to deep differences between member states, the bloc’s top diplomat has warned.

He insisted that the war in Ukraine was not fuelling the current rows over migration, saying: ‘The issue is that migration pressure has been increasing, mainly due to wars – not the war against Ukraine…

‘It is the Syrian war, the Libyan war, the military coups in Sahel [a region in North Africa].

We are living in a circle of instability from Gibraltar to the Caucasus, and this happened before the Ukrainian war and will continue after the Ukrainian war.

Migration in Africa is not being caused by the war against Ukraine. The root causes of migration in Africa are lack of development, economic growth and bad governance.‘”

Not only dissolution of the EU as such but also the dissolution of the societies of the European states subject to mass immigration on a frightening scale. That includes the UK.

The UK General Election is a sideshow, being one in a country completely under the thumb of the USA, and with all candidates for PM parroting the “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) line.

No doubt the reason for that is because “equal opportunities” at some point morphed into “some people are more equal than others”. I saw that both at the practising Bar (1991-1996 and 2002-2008) and when employed by (especially) a large City of London law firm on a 6-month contract in 1996.

In the latter situation, I saw how the relevant partners of that firm, quite obviously running scared of the whole feminism/”glass ceiling” situation, and with many links to high circles of the British Government, appointed as partner in charge of “emerging markets” (basically, the former Soviet Union), an “Australian” woman of semi-Russian background who seemed to know no law (outside that of New South Wales), and whose only qualification for the job seemed to be fluent Russian.

Disastrous (said woman was incapable of being in charge of anything), but when later eased out after several expensive scandals, said woman and waste of space was able to get herself another similar position elsewhere (and probably on similar remuneration— about a million ££ per year), until she messed up there too, and had to return to her native Australia (she became a trade envoy in the end, I believe).

I think that the problem there, and often elsewhere, is that you have —or had at that time, 25-30 years ago— a lot of English male lawyers who had basically been pretty much under the thumb of women all their lives: nannies, mothers and aunts, school matrons, and later wives, and they plainly wanted to “virtue-signal” (as people now say) by appointing a few token women to high positions. In the law firm to which I refer, there were several dozen full partners at the time (1996) but only one woman, as far as I recall, until the Russian-speaker was appointed.

Just a few memories of times past.

Interesting. Whether the story or the meetings will affect the 2024 General Election is an unknown. I rather doubt it, inasmuch as the public still seem split on Brexit, though perhaps now there might be a small majority in favour of rejoining the EU after the disastrous mishandling of it all by the last few Prime Ministers and their governments.

The kind of “comedian” acceptable under Sovietism, always ready to laugh at those whom the System wants to dismiss; their views too.

Typical UK “comedian” in other ways too: eg a tax-dodger when also posing (sometime/implausibly) as a sort-of “socialist”.

Not that I oppose everything he has said.

There it is; from the horse’s mouth. If Zelensky has his ricebowl taken away, the war will stop. In fact, it would stop within days. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime Ukraine) is a failed state. At present, not only arms and ammunition are supplied by, mainly, NATO states, but also energy, medical supplies, clothing and other consumer items, and vast sums of hard cash.

That thug, Danilov, is the enforcer for Kiev’s brutal dictatorship: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksiy_Danilov.

He sees himself as Zelensky’s successor.

This is the reason I eat 6/7 whole eggs daily not just one:

The egg is a wholesome, nutritious food with high nutrient density because, in proportion to its calorie count, it provides 12% of the daily value of protein and a wide variety of other nutrients such as vitamins, essential amino acids and minerals. While protein itself is an important constituent of healthy diet, the egg has been found to have two newly-recognized nutrients – lutein and zeaxanthin – that has put the egg in the “functional food” category. A functional food is one that provides health benefits beyond its basic nutrient content. The health benefits you get by eating eggs are as follows.

Eggs do not raise blood cholesterol: It is true that when you eat eggs, cholesterol enters your body. However, eggs also give a signal for the liver to stop producing the cholesterol it usually produces. The increase in the intake of cholesterol compensates for the decrease in the cholesterol produced by the liver and therefore keeps the blood cholesterol levels constant.

Eggs have choline: Choline is an incredibly important nutrient for your body. This is because it helps build cell membranes and is also crucial when it comes to the production of certain signalling molecules in the brain. A single egg has about 100 milligrams of this nutrient and therefore is one of the best sources of it.

Eggs are good for your eyes: Eggs have two very important nutrients for your eyes. These are Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These nutrients stop degenerative processes from occurring in the eye. Recent studies have shown that consuming lutein and zeaxanthin can significantly lower risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness affecting people over the age of 65. In addition, these reduce the likelihood of cataracts.

Eggs have high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids: Eggs that are boiled have a high level of Omega-3 fatty acids in them. Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for reducing the chances of you suffering from heart disease due to the fact that it reduces your triglyceride levels.

Eggs are an excellent source of protein: This is the biggest reason to eat eggs. Eating eggs helps you to lose weight, optimizing bone health and lowering blood pressure.

Egg may reduce the risk of stroke: Studies have shown that eggs are not only good for your heart, but they also reduce the likelihood of suffering from a stroke.

Oct 2019 , repo market in the banking system started to freeze up, ie no liquidity in the banking system. The covid 19 ‘pandemic’ released trillions to refinance the Banksters Now the same is happening again, that is why they need another major event a pandemic 2 or a World War to pump trillions into the collapsing banking system. Result, a hyperinflationery economic collapse. Follow the money.

The Western press is crucifying Zelensky, calling him a pathetic beggar.

During Zelenski’s visit to the USA, he first spoke from the podium of the UN General Assembly in front of a mostly empty hall, and the image makers “photoshopped” the full hall in which Zelenski himself was sitting. He then went to Washington, where the Speaker of the House of Representatives blocked his speech to Congress and was then questioned by a group of senators.

In the end, Zelensky was received by Biden, after which he went to Canada at the invitation of Prime Minister Trudeau. American senators asked Zelensky a question about the elections. The head of the Kyiv regime has made it clear that he will not hold elections next year.

Another one for the “Eastern Front”?

The Kiev regime cannot find conscripts now, let alone volunteers for its failed counter-offensive. In fact, to intrude a personal note, a funny little fellow, maybe 20-ish, delivered an Amazon item for my wife a couple of days ago. He spoke effectively no English, but understood Russian. Turned out that he was Ukrainian and that several others at his base were also Ukrainian. There must be tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, now in the UK.

London. Zoo.

We all know that, in the end, many of the problems of the UK will only be solved one way, but our freedom of expression is now so restricted that we cannot speak or write the truth.

Remarkable clip.

The USA has an even more serious problem in academia than has the UK, from university level right down to government-operated schools in black/brown “hoods”.

Surely Biden will not be put forward for a second term? If he is, and if he were to win (unlikely as both now seem), he might be replaced while in office by Kamala Harris, which would be just absurd.

Whether that fall in inflation will help the present Government either in the upcoming by-elections or in the 2024 General Election is an open question. My feeling is that even usual Conservative Party voters have given up, and are shaking their collective head at the present incompetent misgovernment. I see no enthusiasm for Labour, though, just a kind of angry apathy, which may be reflected in abstention from voting, or in protest voting. One thing is sure— not very many people, relatively, are going to vote “Conservative”, as things stand.

Madness. Get rid of them, one way or another. This is all part of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan].

At least there is one piece of good news.

More good news.

Positives and negatives. One positive is that the new Act will supersede the notoriously “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127, which has been so badly abused over past years, mainly by the nasty little Jew-Zionist cabal called the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

As regular readers will know, as things stand I myself still face trial in late November 2023 under that same 2003 Act, which however was recommended for repeal by the Law Commission a couple of years ago. Indeed, it may well be that (if the trial actually takes place) I may turn out to be the last person to be prosecuted under its very-poorly-drafted provisions criminalizing the posting of so-called “grossly offensive” material (which can mean anything or nothing).

However, it now seems that internet websites will be forced to censor material, and we can be sure (((which kind))) of (((pressure groups))) will be pulling the levers from the shadows…

As always, the cloak for censorship is “protect children!” and “protect the public from terrorism!“…

Jacinda Ardern is part of a conspiratorial transnational cabal; call it “NWO/ZOG” if you like. I am not sure, in fact, that she is fully human. Same goes for Tony Blair, among others.

There will only be one way to survive the encroaching darkness, in the end.

I agree with him (and have been saying this, and more, for years).

I believe that Griffin does read my blog, at least from time to time.

…and, only a couple of years ago, Patriotic Alternative people Mark Collett, Sam Melia, Laura Towler etc were all deprived of their personal bank accounts for political reasons.

The Ukrainian counter-offensive has failed, overall. The Kiev-regime forces have so far managed to advance only a few miles in a few areas of the front, and at the expense of perhaps 50,000 or more killed, wounded and/or captured.

At the same time, the Kiev regime has been exposed yet again as corrupt, brutal, and shambolic.

The cold weather is only a few weeks off. Rain and cold, followed by ice and snow by November-December. When the ground is hard, Russia may launch a massive armoured onslaught, supported by thousands of missiles and drones attacking military formations, rear-area supply and logistics hubs, and the energy infrastructure of the Ukrainian cities. After that, in early 2024, there may be an advance by armies hundreds of thousands strong.

The Kiev regime cannot “win” this war, even to the extent of taking Crimea, Lugansk, and Donetsk. Where it is now is the best it is going to get for Zelensky’s cabal.

The bitch gave the game away. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) likes to pose as fully European, democratic, with free speech etc, when it is really a corrupt and brutal dictatorship which has existed for 30+ years in a state of semi-chaos.

NATO: Kyiv’s requests for weapons and ammunition exceed the alliance’s capabilities Kyiv’s demands for weapons and ammunition, as well as the volume of military products used in Ukraine, exceed NATO’s capabilities.

This was stated by the head of the alliance’s military committee, Rob Bauer , during the annual conference of the NATO Chiefs of General Staff in Norway. “NATO countries that decide to supply weapons and ammunition to Kiev need to think about the risks associated with such a decision for their security and the security of the alliance,” he warned.

Bauer has previously complained about lagging defense production capacity, slowing deliveries and continuing price increases, and has expressed the view that increasing allied defense spending in such a situation may not actually improve the security situation.”

“General [Milley]: Even if the Ukrainian counter-offensive is successful – the Russians will not be expelled.

THE FIRST GENERAL OF AMERICA ADMITTED: THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE “LONG-TERM, DIFFICULT AND BLOODY” FOR KIEV.

The UKRAINIAN counter-offensive will not completely expel Russia from the conquered territories, nor will it completely return them to Kiev’s control, said General Mark Milley, the chief of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

The counter-offensive, although significant, has limited operational and tactical objectives. Even if these goals are fully achieved, they will not be enough to drive the Russians out completely,” [Milley] reasoned.

He avoided saying how long it would take Kyiv to achieve “its goals,” but admitted it would be “a fairly long period.” He also added that the Ukrainian counter-offensive will be “long-lasting, difficult and bloody“.

Russian President Vladimir Putin called the “counter-offensive” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “not a slip, but a fiasco.”

The new UK Defense Minister wants to transplant British pilots who trained Chinese colleagues The new British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said that former British army personnel who train colleagues from rival countries will be brought to justice. It was previously revealed that a number of former RAF military pilots were training Chinese PLA pilots for a generous payment of around £250,000.

Not sure what “transplant” means here but, leaving that aside, the Jew Shapps is talking nonsense (as usual).

Most of those ex-RAF pilots (most of whom were sacked by reason of spending cuts implemented by the “Conservative” governments of 2010-present) were selling their skills entirely lawfully at the time; I believe that the law was only recently changed. Retrospective laws are disapproved of in English law and tradition as unjust.

Over the past decade or so, the UK has been very badly served by its Secretaries of State for Defence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_of_State_for_Defence#Secretaries_of_State_for_Defence_(1964%E2%80%93present). Several have been just buffoons. For example, Gavin Williamson: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/.

The Greek people should have voted for Golden Dawn while they still had the chance…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Dawn_(Greece).

Good point. I have blogged about this in recent months. The population of Ukraine (including Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk regions etc) was about 43 million in 2021. However, in 1992, the population (including Crimea and the rest) was far higher, about 52 million. By 2014, the population had already decreased to about 45 million.

Ukraine’s population, for the past 30 years, has not been breeding fast enough to replace losses. That trend has now accelerated.

Possibly as much as a quarter of the 2021 Ukraine population has relocated beyond Ukraine’s borders.

The Russian or Russian-occupied areas (Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk etc) contain several million people. Crimea has 2-3 million.

In other words, the parts of Ukraine currently under the control of the Kiev regime now have somewhere in the region of 20-25 million inhabitants.

Bearing in mind that the Kiev-regime army has lost at least 500,000 young or young-ish men since last year, and that the ~4-5 million Ukrainians now living overseas are disproportionately female, the future of Ukraine as a state looks precarious at best.

At least one of the pair mentioned is a Jew. He supports the migration-invasion of Europe by blacks and browns. Is that surprising to the above tweeter?

Yet another Conservative Party MP who evidently has no confidence in the Con Party vote holding up, especially in her own constituency. She had no chance at the 2024 General Election. I suppose that she may have a well-paid job already lined up.

The migraine factor is probably an add-on; presumably she will still have that problem whatever her future occupation.

It may be that, sooner or later, Europe will have to wade through brutal times, as bad or worse than some of the years of the 20thC, in order just to create a decent future for European people.
