A poem by Rudyard Kipling

The Stranger

The Stranger within my gate.

He may be true or kind,

But he does not talk my talk –

I cannot feel his mind.

I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,

But not the soul behind.

The men of my own stock

They may do ill or well,

But they tell the lies I am wonted to,

They are used to the lies I tell.

And we do not need interpreters

When we go to buy and sell.

The Stranger within my gates,

He may be evil or good,

But I cannot tell what powers control –

What reasons sway his mood;

Nor when the Gods of his far-off land

Shall repossess his blood.

The men of my own stock,

Bitter bad they may be,

But, at least, they hear the things I hear,

And see the things I see;

And whatever I think of them and their likes

They think of the likes of me.

This was my father’s belief

And this is also mine:

Let the corn be all one sheaf –

And the grapes be all one vine,

Ere our children’s teeth are set on edge

by bitter bread and wine.

[Rudyard Kipling, 1908]

Good riddance.

So now the Israelis are even establishing a kind of “kosher SS”…

Not just “Tommy Robinson”. Nick Griffin and the BNP were leading on this for years, but (quelle surprise) were demonized by “the usual suspects”. Even now, Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer says that “more whites than Pakistanis and other Asians are paedophiles“.

Well, Starmer is not telling the whole truth.

Even now, the white European population of England (not UK) is about 81%, and the Asian population “only” 10%. In other words, in proportion to population, the incidence of underage molestation is far higher among the Asian (mainly Pakistani) population.

There is another point. “Grooming” gangs (to use the vulgar usage now part of the law) are almost entirely a South Asian and mostly Pakistani-origin phenomenon in the UK. The white European offenders are mostly lone wolves, not part of organized packs. In other words, the phenomena are entirely different in type.

Incidentally, all Starmer’s recent (and not so recent) pronouncements show what a bloody awful Prime Minister he would —and almost certainly will— be, but after 13 years of a pseudo-“Conservative” “shitshow” (in the elegant word of Johnny Mercer MP), it is of course hard to argue that he would be much worse than the present idiot, the Indian money-juggler Sunak, or his four predecessors in the period 2010-2023.

In relation to the above, I have just seen this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_England#Ethnicity.

In 1981, 95.4% of the population of England was described as “white”; in 2021, only 81%. Now? Probably well below 80%. A stunning collapse in only 40 years.

(and that is even, and absurdly, counting non-whites such as “Roma” gypsies as “white”: see that Wikipedia page).

2066? Make that 2050, or even 2040.

Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset are among the best areas in which social-national community can germinate, in the short to medium term.

Looks like “Sven Longshanks” was slightly unlucky not to have had a jury unable to come to a verdict on those 10 counts. Still, there it is.

See: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-65142942.

Looking back over the past few years, it is clear that social-national commentators have faced a wave of State repression, instigated mainly by Jewish pressure groups and lobbying organizations, though carried on to prosecution mainly via the police and CPS.

As regular readers of this blog will know, I myself have been targeted, though mainly unsuccessfully to date, and for nearly a decade now: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/; and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/; and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Tip of the iceberg.

It is clear to me, though, that the brunt of the repression has been borne by those operating podcast “radio” stations, YouTube channels etc: Sven Longshanks, Alison Chabloz, and others. The System fears those with large potential audiences.

Some Hutchinson residents are angry“, says the talking head. Yes, I can just imagine who or at least what “they” might be…(((you know who))).

There are few if any white “grooming gangs”; there never were. As noted above in this blog, most white sex offenders act alone. There may be the odd exception here or there. The Moors Murderers were not a “grooming gang” but merely two evil and/or crazed lunatics.

In the end, there will be a war across the Western world. Not solely a race war, but also a culture war and/or ideology-war and/or a living standards or lifestyle war. We are just now seeing and hearing the opening shots, mostly still metaphorical.

“Moral Alignment” test

Saw this: https://www.idrlabs.com/moral-alignment/test.php.

My result:

You are 55.8% good, 18.3% chaotic, making you neutral good.

Not quite a rousing vote of approbation, but not as harshly marked as my ideological enemies would prefer.

Neutral Good

People who are Neutral Good are guided by their conscience and typically act altruistically, with only secondary regard for whether their actions are lawful or in line with cultural expectations or traditions. Neutral Good individuals have no problems with what is lawful as such, and nor are they rebels by nature, but they believe in furthering kindness and good deeds through whatever means seem necessary to them. If fostering good means supporting an organized society, then that is what must be done. If good can only come about through the overthrow of the existing social order, then so be it. For many who are Neutral Good, insistence on either lawfulness or rebellion is seen as detriments to or distractions from the greater goal of promoting true kindness in the world.” [https://www.idrlabs.com/moral-alignment/test.php].

Fair enough…

I have seen tests like that before, though not that exact one. I have posted a few on the blog, though a few years ago.

At first, I was thinking “April Fool” about that Telegraph report, but apparently not so (published on 29 April).

More seriously, I know what I would do with the so-called “hate crime experts”, but by reason of the ever-increasing repression on freedom of expression in the UK, cannot express it here. You, readers of this blog, will just have to read between the lines, as in every police state.

Britain— a banana republic minus the bananas and the republic.

Yesterday, I noted on the blog how the Patreon donor mugs (each sending between £3.50 and £44 a month to “Jack Monroe”), once numbered well over 800, fell back to about 600 late last year, then (yesterday) to 460. Today— 458. It seems that even some of those utter mugs are waking up, slowly.

Unreality is everywhere now. Not just the “trans” nonsense but also the fiction that black Africans were prominent in ancient Rome, Tudor England, and even created the ancient Egyptian culture (which we know is rubbish by reason of DNA, apart from anything else). Then there is, or recently has been, the “Covid” “panicdemic” and/or “scamdemic”. What else? The British Empire as something almost entirely evil, the Second World War as “good triumphs over evil” etc, Hitler as both mad and bad (with a little bit of sad, too), and of course the (literally) fabled “gas chambers” narrative.

The above list is merely a part of what has been happening in the Western public forum generally.

The “karma of untruthfulness” can be cancer, and in this case may result in a form of progressive societal cancer, as society becomes ever-more diseased.

BBC Question Time, and Twitter

The tweets below show how far removed from both ordinary reality and political reality are both Question Time and Twitter:

A tendentious, probably brainless (and also —probably— atheistic) Church of England clergyman, and a plainly uneducated and also unintelligent fellow (or possibly someone with a mental health problem), both of whom favour migration-invasion by backward hordes into what is left of our country.

Truly, both stupidity and (in the lay sense) treason come in a variety of guises.

Beyond that, it is remarkable how little Question Time and Twitter reflect the popular mood. In fact, you could say that the popular mood in the UK is usually the precise opposite to whatever the Question Time audience and the main UK Twitter mob are saying.

My own approach would be rather different, certainly harsher, certainly more effective in destroying the migration-invasion, “but that’s just me“…

Emily Thornberry (aka Lady Nugee) and her half-Jew husband, however, have about 7 or 8 buy-to-let and other properties. It might be said that they are profiting from the squeeze on housing.

Emily Thornberry never seems to wonder what the effect on housing availability might be of importing many millions of immigrants (mainly non-white, at that) over several decades, immigrants who have been breeding prolifically.

Yes, I am sure that Labour will, indeed, “clear the backlog” of migrant-invaders of all sorts. How? By approving almost all applications, and prioritizing the invaders above British people for housing (and all other services), then by setting up some kind of quick rubberstamp process in France, and even in the countries of origin of the invaders. That way, Britain will actually get swamped even more, but the bad public relations of the invading cross-Channel boats shown on TV and social media will be mostly avoided.

Ah, yes, those great idealists and humanitarians, Meghan Mulatta and “the Harry formerly known as Prince”…

The USA is not working for most of its people. There again, who are we in the UK to talk?…

…but only if they have the wealth, property, money etc as well

The “trans” nonsense is everywhere now, but we must be clear: it has not emerged by accident. It is one of several attacks upon white Western civilization and culture, planned and incubated by forces of Evil embedded in our society, often in leading positions.

Finnish politics could dramatically shift to the far-Right on Sunday as an anti-immigration party aims to replace Sanna Marin’s Social Democrats Party.

The ‘rock star’ prime minister, who took office in 2019 as the world’s youngest PM at 34, is Finland’s most popular leader this century, polls show.

However, latest figures put the mother-of-one’s centre-Left SDP in third place behind the anti-immigration and nationalist Finns Party and the centre-Right National Coalition Party, which held on to a thin lead.

So not “nutritious“. As for “thrifty“, anyone can buy cheapest pasta, mix in some fish paste and/or some tinned tomato pulp, then heat it in the microwave.

Afternoon music

On this day a year ago

Scotland

All that and Paki-stani/Punjabi as well. I suspect that the Humza Yousaf election will wake up quite a few Scottish voters to the pointlessness of faux-“Independence” and fake “Scottish nationalism”.

After all, what does “Independence” mean when Scotland would effectively still belong to NATO (and still have submarine and air bases likely to be targeted in any war), when it would apply to rejoin the EU, when it would be still tied-in to the international banking system, and to the UN matrix (eg WHO)? Also, when Scotland would not only continue to be invaded (by migrant-invaders) but also when that would probably only be intensified under an avowedly anti-white, and non-Scot, First Minister (or, by then, “Prime Minister”?) of Scotland?

I see that the latest opinion polls, from a week or so ago, show that support for “Independence”, once not far short of 50%, dropped to 38% after Sturgeon’s resignation. I wonder what the figure will be soon, now that the SNP has a non-white leader, and one who is basically anti-white, and so anti-Scottish (in any real sense)?

As blogged in the past, the SNP, founded in 1934, only had its first MP elected to Westminster in 1967. The SNP contingent in the Commons then varied between 2 and 11 until 2015 (out of Scottish seats numbering between 59 and 72).

Only in 2015 did the First Past The Post tipping-point result in the SNP getting 56 (out of 59) seats, a figure that fell to 35 in 2017 but recovered to 48 in 2019. Next time (2023/2024)?

In the Scottish Parliament, the SNP cadre consists of 64 out of 129 seats, but in local councils in Scotland only 453 out of 1,226 seats.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#Electoral_performance

I think that the SNP is going to take a pretty big hit from the Humza Yousaf election, though how much is hard to say.

The SNP has certainly had problems with its leaders: Alex Salmond, who was very “lucky in his jury” when acquitted of sexual assault and attempted rape; then Sturgeon and all the fraud and cronyism allegations; now this…

What may save the SNP from an even bigger hit than would otherwise be the case is the sheer uselessness of both the Conservative Party government and the Labour Party official opposition at Westminster.

Note also, in those tweets above, that neither of the two “controlled opposition” talking heads dared to mention that Humza Yousaf is not, in any real sense, “Scottish” to start with…

Seems that even the Guardian agrees with me, in essence, about the likely slow decline of the SNP. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/27/snp-humza-yousaf-leader-scotland-politics.

One other interesting point to note is that SNP membership is only 72,000, and fewer than 50,000 bothered to vote for a new leader.

As to the new leader, I see that Humza Yousaf has only had one non-political job, a brief stint in a call centre: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humza_Yousaf.

I do not have enough information to assess whether this is the beginning of the end for the Israeli state, but it may be. States usually end as a result of internal dissent and/or decadence. One of the “lessons of history”.

I am not so much interested in Israel as a state, more in its role as a hub for worldwide Jewish power-grabs, propaganda, fraud, and general leeching. As a state, Israel is no worse than any of the Arab or other Muslim states in the Middle East.

“Jack Monroe”

“Jack Monroe”, aka “Bootstrap Cook”, is not so much a “liar” as someone to whom truth and falsehood do not really exist, i.e. someone to whom both lies and statements of truth are interchangeable, and their use dictated solely by their immediate utility to her and various aspects of her fake “poverty” narrative.

As blogged before, “Jack Monroe”, whose sole experience of fires (apart from starting them in her own kitchen while drunk or drugged) was as someone who, for a short while, answered the telephone at the fire brigade in Essex. “Grenfell Tower” was, for her, just another attempt to ride on whatever was currently in the news, for her own financial benefit.

“Jack Monroe” does that, or has done that, in various ways: “LGBTQXYZ”, “single mother”, “struggling mother”, “poor person made good”, “cancer patient”, “ME patient”, “fibromyalgia patient” (etc), “recovering but sober alcoholic”, “victim” generally (especially of “trolls”, meaning those who put forward evidence of her fraudulent claims and behaviours).

I wonder how many “mugs” actually believed the “Jack Monroe” Grenfell Tower fantasy? The real fire happened in West London, 60+ miles from where (non-driver) “Jack Monroe” lives (in the Southend, Essex area). How would a policeman guarding the fire scene even know (or care) who “Jack Monroe” is (I suppose that she thinks, or seems to want to believe, that she is a “celebrity” known to the nation)? Why would a policeman “wave her through” the security cordon? It’s ludicrous, as was or is her claim to have had the plans of the building (how? why?).

What, in any case, could a drunken or drugged young woman without real experience, and who had no reason or locus standi to even be there, be able to contribute? Nothing.

Not only lies, but very obvious lies.

That being so, why did actual “celebrities” of sorts, such as the Jewish TV cook, Nigella Lawson, and the Jewish restaurant critic, Jay Rayner, promote “Jack Monroe” for years after that? In fact until early this year. Also, why did various charities and msm outlets keep promoting “Jack Monroe” until very recently? There’s a kind of semi-conspiratorial “Jimmy Savile” feel about it all.

Naturally, I have little time for the self-describing “Left”, such as Ken Loach, but of course he is correct in what he says about Starmer. Having said that, Loach and his like still, even now, talk about the element that got rid of Corbyn as “the Right“, “the Establishment“, “the mass media“,and even “the ruling class“, while not once talking about the Jews, or Zionists, or even the baleful influence of the Israeli state, as seen so clearly in the Shai Masot case, except insofar as he mentions that many Jews who were pro-Corbyn have actually been expelled by Starmer.

There it is— White Genocide. Admittedly, not in the sense of non-whites directly killing white European people in large numbers (except in South Africa), but in a far more cunning way, or ways. Promotion of cannabis abuse, promotion of LGBTQXYZ, promotion of extreme feminism (most of the writers favouring which are— wait for it— Jewish women), promotion of mass immigration and migration-invasion into Europe. 90% or more of all of that is led by, and/or funded by, Jews and/or Jewish interests.

So many people want everything to be black and white; black or white.

What it says to me (also) is that there is a baleful influence promoting that kind of non-art (not necessarily that particular “artist”), or what was once called “Addled Art“— https://www.amazon.co.uk/Addled-Art-Lionel-Lindsay/dp/B0007J3B7S; http://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com/2009/06/lindsay-etching-l-hyde-park-1913-r.html; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Lindsay.

Who funded and promoted (and then made millions via) the “artists” Tracey Emin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracey_Emin] and Damien Hirst [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Hirst] etc? Mainly wealthy Jews, such as Charles Saatchi: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Saatchi and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Freedman.

Saatchi is also known for his art collection and for owning Saatchi Gallery, and in particular for his sponsorship of the Young British Artists (YBAs), including Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin. In 2013 he received a police caution for assaulting his wife, Nigella Lawson.” [Wikipedia]

Saatchi arrived at Gambler in a green Bentley and, according to Freedman, was immediately impressed by (and then bought) Hirst’s first major “animal” installation, A Thousand Years, consisting of a large glass case containing maggots and flies feeding off a rotting cow’s head.[1] (The installation was later a notable feature of the Sensation exhibition.) At this early stage, Freedman was financing the production of Hirst’s vitrines, and has commented that not many people attended these early shows, including Freeze.

In 1994, Freedman toured the US with Tracey Emin, driving in a Cadillac from San Francisco to New York.” [Wikipedia].

Freedman said one of the [Tracey Emin] show’s themes was:the artist as a subject, and (to) explore the relationship between the art on the wall and its creator, to make the whole thing more humanistic. And in there somewhere there is the beginnings of a thesis on the relationship and similarities between madness and modernism, for example, defiance of authority, nihilism, examples of extreme relativism, strange transformations of the self, irrationality, and things like that.” [Wikipedia]

A 1930s German National Socialist would recognize very readily the all-too-typical themes of decay, decadence, perversion of the natural order etc.

[Saatchi Gallery]

Incidentally, “Emin was born in Croydon, a district of south London, to an English mother of Romanichal descent[18] and a Turkish Cypriot father.” [Wikipedia]. She is non-European, despite Wikipedia weaselling about her mother, who was apparently not English but a “Romanichal” (gypsy).

Tracey Emin is now herself “worth” millions; Damien Hirst, hundreds of millions.

Compare that to the many great and genuine artists who lived and died penniless.

Scotland, despite its global cultural reach, is a small nation, most of the people of which oppose fake “Independence”.

I should hope —and I certainly think— that the SNP reached its high-water mark a few years ago, and will now gradually decline, but that will not happen until the voters are given a suitable alternative.

Saturday quiz

Only just beat political journalist John Rentoul this week. He scored “5 and a half“, he says, while I managed 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 4, 7, and 10. In fact, I had read about no.7 a while ago but forgot about it, and also should really have guessed no.10.

The destruction of beauty, and the creeping growth of housing

Earlier this week, I blogged about the horrible destruction of trees in Armada Way, Plymouth by a corrupt local council. Now, while reading a report about the recent suicide of a headmistress of a school attended by me 60 years ago, I saw something equally unpleasant about Emmer Green, just north of Reading.

Northwest and north of Reading, across the Thames, there are two basically suburban areas abutting the open woods and fields of Oxfordshire: Caversham Heights (where I lived at times as a child) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caversham_Heights], and Emmer Green [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmer_Green]. About two or three miles of more or less open country separates the two. Within that couple of miles there was, inter alia, a golf course, Reading Golf Club, which in the 1960s and 1970s was the only golf course on that side of the Thames and that close to Reading.

I myself was a junior member of Reading Golf Club for a year or so around 1972, when I was 15-16. My golfing equipment was old and rudimentary, given to me by family friends, I think: one or two woods (drivers), an oddly-short no.3 iron, an ancient and wood-shafted mashie niblick (no.7 iron)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsolete_golf_clubs#20th_century_wood-shafted_irons], and a putter (also wood-shafted). Out of date even then.

That golf course was rather beautiful, I thought, with plenty of majestic trees framing the fairways of the 18 holes, and even a very small valley, from which one drove from the tee on one side to the hole on the other. A very unusual par as well— 2 par, if I recall aright.

That hole must have been some kind of anomaly, because 3-par is the lowest par usually designated: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Par_(score). Maybe I just remembered wrongly, and it was 3-par; no matter.

I managed (by luck, really) to get a hole-in-one on that, though it hardly counts, arguably, not being a more typical sort of hole.

Be that as it may, I was discomfited to read yesterday that not only has that golf course now closed (and been subsumed, as a club, into a new golf club with a course a few miles away) but the area of the old course has been designated for housing— 223 new houses. There is strong local opposition from nearby residents calling their protest group Keep Emmer Green: https://www.keepemmergreen.org/.

[the old Reading Golf Club, Emmer Green, more or less as I remember it]

We see this all the time now, especially in southern England: “infilling” of green areas around or in towns and cities, usually so that housing can be built for profit. Mass immigration, births to existing UK residents, the collapse of the traditional family. Overall result— pressure to build more housing.

In the end, will there actually be an England worth saving or defending? A question members of the armed forces, and the intelligence and security services, might pose to themselves in a lucid moment.

Incidentally, since the early 1970s, I have rarely played golf, and own no golf clubs (both my younger brothers are keen players, though).

Whatever the logical reasons behind the policy, Jeremy Hunt must have a political cloth ear to introduce such a measure at such a time.

“Covid” “panicdemic” nonsense, migration-invasion nonsense (fake “refugees” put up in hotels etc), general “Ukraine” nonsense (arms, ammunition, medical supplies, and hard cash, all being funnelled to the corrupt and dictatorial regime of the Jew Zelensky). Etc.

Prediction of the result of a general election not due to be held for possibly 20 months is a fool’s game, of course, but at present it certainly looks like a shoo-in for Labour, and most policy announced by the “Conservatives” seems to play into Labour’s hands despite Labour itself being so lacklustre.

Seems to be useful public health advice. I myself have no liver problem, but am posting those tweets as a general warning to anyone who, or who knows someone who, is in that situation.

Better pay than being “His Excellency” the Ambassador to [somewhere]. While a few British ambassadors get nearly £150,000, most are below £100,000, and some receive as little as £60,000, though they do get reasonably-nice, sometimes very nice, ambassadorial residences, and there are a number of perks. Also, diplomatic immunity. I should have appreciated that a few times myself, when working overseas. Very convenient.

I believe that Murray was appointed to Tashkent (Uzbekistan) in 2002.

Murray seems to be someone highly principled (according to his own lights), and a bit awkward, like one or two Quakers I encountered several decades ago. The Diplomatic Service was almost certainly the wrong career for him.

In fact, if Wikipedia is accurate, Murray is not wholly reliant on his online donors, but also has a number of business activities: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Murray#Entrepreneurial_activities.

God… and most of those people have so little anyway, and amid such wealth. The USA in some ways isthe Great Satan“, as the Islamic crazies sometimes claim. Not in every way, but in some. I myself have experienced a little of both the more comfortable and less comfortable sides of American life. The USA needs radical reform.

So much for “Biden the great humanitarian”. Not that he has invented such hypocrisy— Clinton was there first.

Incidentally, the (typically labyrinthine) American bureaucracy pays out to people in need (those that can get it at all), a very modest amount, in many cases just a few hundred dollars a month: see https://en.as.com/en/2022/01/22/latest_news/1642820139_262174.html.

(that’s cash; other programmes exist in parallel, such as Medicare, Medicaid etc).

Of course, tweeting (or blogging, or vlogging, or writing articles, or even launching doomed public law claims) does not frighten MPs. What does? Well, I am not going to say anything, but think back over the past decade…

Ukraine situation

True. Brutal. However, it seems that some fighters on both sides might be termed “cannon-fodder“. In fact, we in the West, subjected to the usual msm lies and spin, are not getting the true measure of the Ukrainian/Kiev-regime losses. Massive.

A maverick officer, too honest for his notional superiors. Every army has a few. General Lebed, a Soviet and, later, Russian Army commander, was like that. He would have made a good President of the Russian Federation but, like others before him and since, he died in an apparent “accident” (in his case, a helicopter crash). Maybe it was an accident. Maybe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Lebed; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Lebed#Political_views.

There must be room for compassion and active help for the animals in war zones. None of them volunteered for this.

Of course, over the years quite a few Jews have actually been exposed and/or arrested for attacking Jewish graveyards, with the aim of inciting other Jews (via newspaper reports) to get excited about “antisemitism”, as well as the aim of goading the authorities to crack down on so-called “far right” (social-national) people or parties and groups, as well as repressing freedom of expression.

I have never understood why any social-national people would attack Jewish or any other graveyards. What is the aim? To kill dead Jews? Very strange.

Obviously, I agree with the 95%…

If only the UK could have that level of economic and social development.

Almost certainly —at the very least— CIA involvement.

Reminiscent of the armoured trains of the Russian Civil War [1918-1921].

In the present international situation, with huge tension between China and the USA, Chinese assistance to Russia is almost a given. Having said that, Russian leaders may be wondering whether China also wants to spread its influence and, maybe, some of its population, across Siberia, as far west as the Urals.

Learning from quiz shows

I rather like some quiz shows, though most have been hugely dumbed down, presumably to fit the current audience profile. My favourites are or were University Challenge (slightly dumbed-down but mostly still OK, and I shall miss Jeremy Paxman when he goes), Mastermind (now very dumbed-down and with a non-white presenter), Eggheads, and The Chase (despite many of the questions being either absurdly easy or on topics of which I admit I know little, notably popular music, football, and sitcoms).

A couple of shows recently astonished me without surprising me, if you understand me. The first was a Celebrity Mastermind.

It goes without saying that “celebrity” shows are usually replete with the incredibly ignorant (one of the few exceptions being any that feature Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, who is is relatively well-educated), and this show was no exception.

Four contestants, only two of whom were white. The winner was a rather odd Irishman, a stand-up comedian (apparently). As with most of such “celebrity” shows, I had never heard of any of the “celebrities”.

The oddest of the four was a TV and radio presenter (apparently) called Jayne Middlemiss [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayne_Middlemiss]. Entirely innocent of any general knowledge. Her manner was very peculiar, she wore a strange pink sweater with a large “Communist”(style) 5-pointed red star on it, and I have to say that I wondered whether she might be on drugs of some sort. Either that, or she has a mental or personality problem.

Jayne Middlemiss shared the booby-prize honour of total ignorance with two others, especially one Harpreet Kaur, a winner of the show The Apprentice, fronted by the Jewish businessman Alan Sugar.

As to the winner, the Irish comedian, he was better than the others, yes, but almost all the questions were embarrassingly easy. I may cross Mastermind off my list soon.

The other recent show that left me shaking my head was an episode of Eggheads, which saw a team of British Army officers fail to place correctly both Stockholm (the officer on the spot thought that it was in Denmark) and Bimini (between the Bahamas and Florida, in fact technically part of the Bahamas); I cannot recall where that second Army officer thought Bimini was. Somewhere ridiculous, anyway.

I do not expect military officers, most of them, to be great minds, but surely a knowledge of basic geography would be useful, nicht wahr?

I suppose that there are more important things to worry about in the world, just as there are more important issues than whether a self-important TV football pundit, one Lineker, should be allowed both to “blag” £2M a year from the BBC and, at the same time, make (stupid, ignorant) “refugees welcome” pronouncements on Twitter. Oh well, there it is.

That was my tweeted view recently, a few weeks ago. It remains my view.

Not the side of the Ukrainian Army (Kiev-regime forces) that the msm will show you…

Jeffrey Sachs on Ukraine

Everyone should watch/listen to that 33-min video.

It will be an academic question if a nuclear war should occur, but the “blame” for any such war will or would not be exclusively on Russia or Putin. It will be also, and indeed more, upon the NWO (the rulers of USA, UK, France etc) and the secret cabals and the ruling circles of the West.

Blame would also fall upon all those stupid idiots in the Western msm who have been cheerleading for war, more war, harsher war, and in favour of the corrupt and shambolic Jew kleptocracy in Kiev. The msm is also reporting only from the “Ukrainian” (Kiev regime) side, and not even trying to ask awkward questions of the Kiev regime (such as about its forces executing some prisoners in the field, or about how others are treated in captivity)

Other persons too are guilty of cheerleading war in Ukraine, and therefore quite possibly across Europe. Talking heads on TV are joined by thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of unthinking Twitter nobodies. All the cretins with Ukrainian flags on their Twitter accounts.

We, as broadly social-national people, should be preparing for after any such war, as far as we can. I wish that I had the means of a Dyson or a Gates; needless to say, I do not. In that event, I could then create the kernel of a new society in some south-western part of the UK, or elsewhere.

As it is, I live only 15-20 miles (nearer 15 as the crow flies) from the port of Southampton, and even nearer to the military port at Hythe, on the Solent in Hampshire; both ports would be major targets.

In other words, even a “limited” NATO-Russia nuclear exchange would probably see the end of me. The only “comfort” (and cold indeed) would be that the “cabal” (((aka “them”))) that would laugh at my demise are mostly (there are a few exceptions) in and around London, so would probably precede or at least accompany me into nuclear annihilation.

Effect on UK appears limited“? In what world is that? One where people do not get heating and lighting bills, for one thing. Anyway, refer to the Jeffrey Sachs vlog interview above. The UK, small but with many target sites, might simply cease to exist if it were the target of a nuclear attack.

Quite. In fact, the BBC could save itself £100M a year by just sacking 100-200 of its often-useless talking heads and drones.

There are other factors too, as I know, having lived in both NY/NJ and London (though not in the past 25 years). For anyone living in either place for more than a few months, or who has a family in tow, there are the extra costs of American life: medical and dental care (i.e. insurance), and the costs of going to university (for anyone with children of that age).

True, many people in the UK pay privately for medical, dental, and secondary/tertiary education, but in the USA you pretty much have to.

Still, the commentator speaking there is right. London is now “not for white man”, unless wealthy.

If you believe that, you will believe anything, though obviously even the best conspiracy operates through fallible humans. Still, it makes me wonder whether the released WhatsApp messages were released precisely to make people think that only a few mediocre idiots like Matt Hancock were responsible (across the world?). No WEF, no Schwab, no Bill Gates, no “Great Reset” etc. “Nothing to see here“…(really?).

Ha. Well put.

British people used as guinea-pigs. Fake democracy. Useless local pseudo-democratic drones, who are but a small version of the better-known ones in the Westminster monkeyhouse.

Where were the Piers Morgan (etc) “free speech” protests when I was persecuted (disbarred, expelled from Twitter, questioned by police) for tweeting and then blogging the truth about Jews and/or MPs (etc)? Where were they when Alison Chabloz was imprisoned for singing songs and tweeting cartoons? Where were they when Jez Turner, of the London Forum, was imprisoned for making the suggestion, in a brief speech, that Jews should be expelled from the UK? Nowhere.

Recently, Laura Towler, her husband Sam Melia, and Mark Collett, all of Patriotic Alternative, have been again barred from Twitter. They also had their personal bank accounts closed down a year or two ago because of their political views. Where was Piers Morgan then (or the dishonest Toby Young “Free Speech Union”, for that matter)?

Well worth a watch/listen.

Endeavour

Watched the last episode of Endeavour, which was pretty good, but again succumbed to the “blacks with everything” nonsense. Numerous blacks (including an officiating Anglican priest, and undertakers looking like Baron Samedi), as well as Chinese and other non-whites. In Oxford, and in what I thought was meant to be mid/late 1960s, but must (?) have been set in the early 1970s, featuring as it did Elton John’s pop song, Rocket Man (released 1972). There just were not very many ethnic minority people around in the Thames Valley in the early 1970s, let alone the mid-1960s.

My wife thought that the clothing worn indicated mid/late 1960s, though, rather than 1972.

Still, I thought it all well put together as a detective story, au fond.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week I scored the same as political journalist John Rentoul— 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 4, 5, and 7 (just missed on no. 4).

Tweets seen

Strange that Gary Lineker looks rather “non-Aryan”, but I have looked at his Wikipedia entry. No clue there. Still, I wonder whether there is not some —perhaps undocumented— alien element.

Earn well“? The bastard is paid nearly £2,000,000 a year to shoot the breeze about football, a ridiculous emolument possible only because the leech-like BBC makes people pay —on pain, ultimately, of imprisonment— for a so-called “Television Licence” the monies of which go exclusively to the BBC out of hundreds of broadcasters. A completely monstrous, unjust, boondoggle which is a left-over from the 1930s in origin (1950s in general practice). Completely out of date.

Beyond that, real “free speech”, and real “democracy” too, is subverted because there is an “in-group” in broadcasting. If you are part of it, you get paid, annually, £200,000, £500,000, a million pounds, or even more. If, though, you are chucked out of that charmed circle because you and/or your views are dissident in any real sense (as with all social-national or even conservative-nationalist people), you go outside and are then (as Nietzsche put it) “facing the wintry wind“.

That is why, on any really controversial issue, the broadcasting drones (whether news, commentary, sports, comedy, drama, whatever) all spout System propaganda, whether on immigration, migration-invasion, race, Jews, the contrived “holocaust” farrago, “Covid”, the “Covid “vaccines”, their vaccine dangers, “Ukraine”, the “blacks with everything” campaign. You name it.

In short, all the denizens of the System broadcasting milieu know that those big salaries and fees, the expensive houses and cars and holidays, their whole way of life, and popular status, are all dependent on either saying the “right” thing, or at least not saying the “wrong” (not acceptable to System) thing.

More

The wider questions around all of that, though, include the true level of migration-invasion, which goes even beyond the relentless and infuriating small-boat invasion making landfall on the coasts of Kent and Sussex.

The larger migration-invasion contingents do not arrive on small boats but “legally” (superficially), such as via marriage visas, fiance/fiancee visas, work visas, student visas (many, perhaps most, never return home), tourist visas etc.

Indeed, the largest contingent of “invaders” are those arriving simply by being born to non-white or other non-British mothers already in the UK.

More tweets

I was brought up going to race meetings: mainly Ascot, Newbury, and Windsor, but also Sandown, Kempton and, more rarely, other courses— Brighton, Goodwood, Cheltenham and Hereford; also, point-to-points in Berkshire, Hampshire, and Buckinghamshire.

There have been improvements in horse welfare, particularly in the actual running of races; more needs to be done. In particular, and as that clip showed, racehorses, after their race careers, must be shown proper loyalty and respect, and put out to grass for their remaining days.

How about society stopping the rat-race of mothers having to go out to work from financial necessity, those mothers then being able to spend at least the first, say, 7 years with their children at home? Or 14 years, for that matter (with opportunity to then return to work and/or to new careers, if they want).

Thinking “outside the box”, how about giving the invaders (both sexes) a choice between leaving the UK within a certain number of days (maybe 30 days) with financial help, or facing compulsory sterilization? That at least would safeguard the race-stock.

Just watched that clip. A very stupid and ill-informed discussion. Desalination need not be hugely energy-intensive. I rarely commend the Israelis, but they are now, arguably, the leaders in this, using filters (reverse-osmosis) to purify water: https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/19/middleeast/israel-water-desalination-climate-cmd-intl/index.html.

At the end of 2013 four plants, with a total capacity of almost 500 million m3/year per year, were operational. All plants use reverse osmosis, utilizing self-generated power.” [Wikipedia].

In fact, Israel now gets 75% of its water from the Mediterranean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in_Israel. If brackish water is included, 85%.

Learn from whomsoever you can.

In the UK, there are a number of issues around water supply and use. First of all, the unnecessary and deliberate increase in population (from immigration and births to immigrants) since the 1980s, and especially from the 1990s.

Secondly, the sheer incompetence of the water companies in various ways, especially in the failure to repair leaking pipes.

Thirdly, in domestic areas (the type of bathroom and kitchen taps used, the rarity of garden water barrels etc). See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainwater_harvesting.

Fourthly, design issues. In some parts of the world, such as southern Spain, new multi-story buildings have to have rainwater catchment and storage. When I lived for a while in the Caribbean, I saw that most villas (including mine) had large inbuilt water tanks. The water was unsuitable for drinking unless boiled (I had to buy imported mineral water, or UV-filtered Miami tap water, the latter USD $5 per U.S. gallon, for that), but the tank water was OK, from a health viewpoint, for coffee and tea. The tank water never ran out, despite being used for showers etc.

I happened to see the following article as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groasis_Waterboxx.

Incidentally, while looking at Wikipedia, I also saw this:

In March 2017, a national survey was published that concluded that there is an extremely high rate of serious iodine deficiency among the Israeli population, and in particular among pregnant women (85%) and school-age children (62%).[59] The researchers mentioned the lack of a national salt iodisation program and the heavy dependence on iodine-depleted desalinated seawater as reasons for this major public health problem.[59] The concerns include a “high risk of maternal and fetal hypothyroidism and impaired neurological development of the fetus”, and the professor leading the study stated that iodine deficiency has lowered the IQ level of Israeli children by four to five points over the past 50 years.[59]

[Wikipedia]

Interesting. Has that had political effects? Also, what is our British excuse (or reason)? I am convinced that the IQ levels of the UK population have also dropped greatly in the past half-century. Even discounting the effect of the vast numbers of blacks and browns, there has surely been a very obvious lowering of intelligence among the native white population.

A couple of years ago

I noticed that the above had a hit or two today. It has, I think, held up well, re-reading it, despite having been left with gaps by Twitter and YouTube censorship.

More thoughts about Lineker, BBC, migration-invasion etc

The “rebellion” by BBC-paid “celebrity” drones wanting to virtue-signal about Lineker gives a clue as to the number of (in lay terms) “traitors” who are pumping out stuff in the msm. They all want or pretend to want more blacks and browns in the UK. If a handful have come out in public on that basis, a thousand times that number are working away undetected in the BBC, Sky, ITV etc.

More tweets

In the UK, the ridiculous Gary Lineker/BBC Twitterstorm, or storm in a teacup, has completely displaced Ukraine from the top of msm news broadcasts. Just as the Kiev regime seems to be losing Bakhmut/Artyomovsk to Russian forces. Is that a co-incidence?

When you think that the “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) side alone has apparently lost 20,000 or 25,000 men there in Bakhmut/Artyomovsk (and the Russians possibly far more), it seems incredible. Or is it?

So the Kiev regime now strikes cities it claims as its own? The Russians have been rebuilding Mariopol/Mariupol.

There was an attack in Moscow too, today. Either a missile or a terrorist-type attack.

Keep prodding the bear with sharp sticks and see what happens…

To mix languages, kakaya grotesquerie!

Decadence has taken over 99% of the USA.

On thermonuclear war (with apologies to Herman Kahn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Kahn)

As I have blogged previously, a year or so ago, during the period roughly 1949-1989, i.e. the ~40 years of the Cold War, into which I was born (b.1956), I never, as child or adult, believed that there would be a nuclear war between East and West, though we now know that, quite apart from the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1963, one nearly started by ridiculous accident in 1983: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident.

After the death of Sovietism, officially 1991 but in reality about 1989, and during both the Yeltsin and Putin rulerships 1991-2012, there was effective detente between the West and Russia. Storm clouds gathered after that.

Only now, in the past year or so, have I been seriously concerned that there might be a real and almost inevitably nuclear war between NATO (i.e. the USA and its hangers-on) and Russia.

The regional conflict in the Ukraine area, which is now a regional war, sees ever-more escalation by NATO and the West generally. More advanced, and heavier, weapons being shipped to the Kiev regime, along with enormous amounts of non-military aid, and equally-huge amounts of actual money, some of which has certainly been stolen by Kiev-regime officials.

The situation is uncertain, but a full war between NATO and Russia is now by no means unlikely, and all because NATO wants to pressure Russia and then have Putin removed by internal coup, possibly to be followed by the breaking up of the Russian Federation into a number of constituent parts, something that has not been the case since the time of Ivan the Terrible (16thC).

“Peak Britain” in 2023?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11816591/How-Matt-Hancock-Priti-Patel-celebrated-news-Covid-crackdowns.html

Ensuring lockdown and quarantine rules were stringently enforced became something of an obsession for Matt Hancock and the rest of the Cabinet as Covid cases continued to spiral throughout 2021. 

Leaked messages from his WhatsApp account show the Health Secretary, Boris Johnson and Priti Patel reacting to examples of police down on rulebreakers with almost childlike glee – hailing the cases as ‘brilliant’ and ‘superb’. 

In another exchange, Mr Hancock and Simon Case, the UK’s top civil servant, are seen joking about travellers being forced into quarantine hotels at airports – with Mr Case calling their plight ‘hilarious‘.”

[Daily Mail]

Hancock, Priti Patel, and that useless nerd Simon Case, all deserve a good kicking at the very least. The same is true of all ministers and MPs involved in the “panicdemic” nonsense.

One of the comments of the Daily Mail readers says it all:

Emily1848, Birmingham, United Kingdom, moments ago

So now we see the contempt and actual joy with which Hancock, Patel and others felt and acted as they destroyed our freedoms and futures. All this mockery of the populations suffering at their hands, and yet they couldn’t even do their bloody jobs competently either!

Until recently, Russian people did not think of Ukraine, or Belorussia (now Belarus), or the Baltic states (the “pribaltika“), or other areas such as Kazakhstan (where I myself once lived for a year) as “foreign“, but rather as (during Soviet times) part of the same country as Russia, and/or as (since 1991) “the near-abroad“.

It goes further than that. Non-whites not only could never build our white European culture and civilization, nor its American, Australasian and other offshoots, but also are unable even to maintain what our peoples have already built.

That is the point of importance at present, as our white European and European-origined countries are swamped by non-whites. As the proportion of non-whites in the population increases, the level of the culture and civilization not only will not rise, but will start to fall; disastrously so.

You can see that everywhere now: in the UK, in Scandinavia, in the USA etc.

Is there no real Scot nationalist who can deal with the problem?

Presumably meant to write “being“, not “not being“.

Would it matter if 99.99% of the UK population were to disappear, so long as the remainder (about 7,000) were both white English/British and on a decent cultural and behavioural level? I say not.

That characterization of the 1980s is only, at best, a half-truth, I think, though I personally was not involved in ordinary (even radical) politics in that decade.

I knew people in the mid/late 1970s who belonged to the National Front and the League of St. George. Mostly very reasonable English (and a few Irish and Scottish, or other) people. The “knuckle-dragging” “skinheads” (etc) did exist (elsewhere), yes, but were a small minority.

Far right” is, anyway, just a meaningless label. “Social-national” is more accurate.

The Israeli state was born, in the late 1940s, out of ethnic cleansing, murder, torture, intimidation, theft of land and housing, in fact every kind of criminality, all carried out by Jews who were the sweepings of the ghettos, criminal gangs, prisons, and concentration camps of Europe.

The Israelis covered up much of that, and spread the largely fake “holocaust” farrago around the world to create sympathy for the Jews in Israel and elsewhere. Now the ingrained evil is coming out very obviously, to such an extent that even some Jews (Sanders being one) cannot bear what is happening.

Emily Thornberry, aka “Lady Nugee”, a porcine freeloader who has a property portfolio (with her part-Jew husband) worth £5-10 Million, and who “earns” money from renting out houses etc, in addition to the MP salary, the generous Parliamentary expenses etc.

Emily Thornberry personifies much of the problem people have with Starmer-Labour. Not just the Jewish and Israeli connections, but the overall impression (I think accurate) that so many of these Labour MPs are people not far distant in lifestyle, money, and views from the “Conservative” MPs they claim to “oppose”.

cf. Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Jess Phillips etc.

In fact, or in my opinion, the only reason Emily Thornberry joined Labour in the first place is because she had a massive chip on her shoulder from her father having abandoned his wife (her mother) and Emily Thornberry herself, and the mother and daughter then having had to live for some years in a council house (and in what is generally an affluent town, Guildford , in Surrey, which must have stung even more). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Thornberry#Early_life.

I think that that mixture of snobbery, reverse snobbery, chip-on-shoulder resentment, and hypocrisy comes out in her pronouncements at times, such as her notorious “white van man” and “St. George’s flag” comments.

Like many people, I want the Conservative Party to be annihilated, certainly electorally (it’s a start, anyway) but, in our rigged binary electoral system, that does mean a massive Labour landslide, an “elected” Starmer-Labour dictatorship that might make that of Blair-Brown look mild.

There is no way out of this. We, the British people, have to grasp the nettle. The Conservative Party, destroyed, will lead, eventually, to the destruction also of the Labour Party, perhaps via the uprising of a new social-national party not yet in existence.

I had thought that a hung Parliament might be the best result in 2024 (if that is when the next general election comes), but now I think that the only way is to kill off 90% of the Conservative Party seats, even if at the expense of a huge Labour Party majority in the Commons.

That might also lead to extra-Parliamentary action.

Talking points

The quotation directly above expresses a fact which many prefer to ignore. Note— not “disagree with”, but ignore. They do not want the truth, but comforting (?) lies.

The UK is almost open-borders now. The “British” Government (packed with Jews, Indians, you name it) has basically given up the struggle to defend our borders. In that circumstance, how long can even the semblance of a “Welfare State” be maintained?

What seems to have been happening in Britain is that the outward forms have been and are being maintained but, at the same time, the content has been, and is being, hollowed out.

Not just Welfare State services such as State benefit levels, but allied aspects of society: the NHS is one. The NHS still exists, but underfunding and mass immigration is testing it to the limit. NHS dentistry is disappearing, in fact has almost disappeared. The GP service is now a skeleton of what it was only a few years ago.

Of course, “Covid”, or “the Covid crisis”, or “the pandemic” is a very useful excuse as to why standards cannot be maintained. You (apparently, supposedly) cannot see a GP or a dentist “because of” the “panicdemic” of 2020-2021.

That has become the contemporary version of the 1940s British excuse for non-availability of goods and services, as when, in the film of The Cruel Sea, senior Royal Navy Reserve officer Jack Hawkins calls over a steward at (?) the Trocadero in London to complain about dust in the decanter of water on his table, only to be told “I’m very sorry, Sir, it’s the war, you know…“, to which Hawkins replies, wryly, “well, in that case, I should not want to make too much of it” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cruel_Sea_(1953_film)].

The same has been the case in very many areas of British life. When I was reading for the Bar in 1987, there was discussion about whether wigs and gowns would still be worn by barristers in the future. A wise old barrister replied that “they will get rid of everything else before they get rid of wigs in court“.

That turned out to be right. The Bar has changed radically since the 1980s, in a few respects for the better but in most respects for the worse, but those wigs are still there, at least in the Crown Court (though now more rare in civil cases, in both the High Court and in the County Court).

Look at the armed forces. The outward forms are still there, but the few remaining ships are merely like stumps sticking out of drought-hit fields. A couple of aircraft carriers without planes (!), and the officers and crews of warships (as seen on “reality TV”) seem pretty poor quality, at least from what is shown.

In fact, so useless are our armed forces now that “Boris” idiot recently suggested giving our remaining planes and tanks to the Jew Zelensky in Kiev, because the UK has no use for them! Johnson was derided, of course, but actually (while I would not want to support the Kiev regime) Johnson had a point.

The Navy now does little but ferry migrant invaders to the UK (!) and interdict drug smugglers (the only way to really stop the drug problem, though, is to hit the consumers in the UK, and hit them really hard).

Why do we even bother having a navy in those circumstances?

As to the Army’s tanks, they seem to be of no use at all here, and are only used for exercises and for occasional foreign misadventures such as Iraq, and that was decades ago.

The Royal Air Force? Most of its bases have been closed down, and most of the rest are really semi-disguised USAF bases.

Is there, likewise, much reality in the Monarchy? I think not. Not only The Harry Formerly Known as Prince, and Meghan Mulatta. Not only Prince Andrew, that useless and unpleasant freeloader. Not only the rest of them, but also their actual role. What are they for, really? Does their existence as “royals” really serve any purpose now?

The migration-invasion, and the general mass immigration into the UK, has ripped the stuffing out of this country. The original 1950s to 1970s immigration from former colonies turned Commonwealth countries was bad enough, but in the past ~40 years, and especially since about 1989, there has been a flood even from countries which which the UK has historically had few if any ties. That increased during and after Blair’s evil regime, i.e. post-1997.

The old idea was that immigrants, even non-whites, would just blend in with British people and their way of life. That was only a half-truth even half a century or more ago. Now, it is just not so; the numbers have become too great. Britain may be majority non-white as early as 2050, and even many of the European people here now are not British in any real sense; many are the rejected dross from the poorer parts on the continent.

It makes me laugh when I read in newspapers about how the UK is being “defended” by the armed forces, and by the security and intelligence bureaucrats. What are they now “defending”? Not the British people or their way of life, that’s for sure. That is being destroyed from within. Mass immigration. Births to non-whites. Corruption at Westminster. Cultural trash on TV , radio and elsewhere. Cheap hee-hawing by Jew comedians and others. All of that.

I tremble to think of what Britain might look like by 2050, let alone 2100, if we cannot reverse the process, or take the country in a new direction. I myself (b. 1956) will not be on Earth by then, but it may be that, before then, Fate will enable me to join with the best of my fellow Brits to change the mood music in the next 20 years. We shall see.

Amazing how many quite educated and/or intelligent-seeming people, including well-known journalists, MPs etc have been so easily bamboozled by “Jack Monroe” and her tissue of lies.

How long before that happens in the UK too? Already, “Gypsy” and other designations are suggested as derogatory in themselves (cf. “Jew”).

Ditto?

So what happens after that? Does the USA think that it can face down Russia, China, not to mention smaller states, combined?

That graphic leaves out the Labour result in 2019— only 32.1%…

Of course, the popular vote share, the numbers of seats won or lost, and the end result, are two or three different things in the UK system.

At present, Labour is hugely ahead in the opinion polls.

I was of the view that Labour’s open door immigration policy (the real policy, not the “horseshit” fed to the public via the msm) would put voters off from voting Labour-label, but the “Conservatives”, under Indian money-juggler Sunak, are plainly bent on importing more millions, and have done nothing at all even to slightly reduce mass immigration, including the cross-Channel migration-invasion, so many people will just want to punish the Con Party even if knowing in their hearts that Labour will be no better in most respects— and worse in some.

Incidentally, that YouGov poll, if reflective of actual voting at the next general election, would give Labour the biggest Commons majority in history— a Commons majority of 430 [Labour 540, Con 20, LibDem 19, SNP 47, others 24 (inc. Northern Irish seats)].

That really would be “elected dictatorship”, especially with tyrannical Yvette Cooper and Rachel Reeves in Cabinet. See https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

That is what at any rate used to be the Consulate, the Embassy itself being nearby.

I remember standing in a long, slow line outside one of the gates in early 1993, the first time I needed a Russian visa.

In fact I had already been there once, in the 1980s, when I queued on behalf of my then girlfriend’s mother, who apart from being too aged to wait in line for hours, always seemed to have trouble there because she was born in pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg in or about 1908, and had insisted that her British passport reflect that and not (as per the silly Passport Office rule) Leningrad (the Passport Office staff always prefer to change places of birth to the latest name of the location, so “Tanganyika” is changed to “Tanzania” even if the latter was not in existence at the date of birth).

Of course, that 1980s visa for the old lady mentioned was a Soviet one, not a Russian one as such..

Incidentally, the fall of socialism in and after 1989, and the official end of the Soviet Union in 1991, brought a change in the way that the consulate treated its visitors. In the 1980s, an unwelcoming ambience and the strange little holes in the glass screen above the reception desk, as at old railway stations, the holes too low to speak through without stooping (they are —or used to be— everywhere in Russia, even at the Kremlin ticket office); in 1993, a new reception desk and no screen with little holes (in fact no screen at all, I seem to remember), and girls who actually smiled and were pleasant, unlike the sullen factotums of yesteryear.

The last two times I needed a Russian visa, in 1996 and 2007, I did not need to queue or to go there; commercial organizations will do it for you, at a price. I ended up going to Moscow again in 2007, but not in 1996, that visit having been called off at short notice, the very day before I was due to travel.

First “they” (((they))) came for the satirical singers, for the cartoonists, and for the bloggers and Twitter tweeters…

Beth Rigby is a System propagandist; not worth watching or hearing.

My own assessment, from 3-4 years ago, of Therese Coffey:

People of Britain: you know who your enemies are, and they are not the Russian people, not Putin, and not the so-called “far right” (social nationalists, who are fighting your fight)…

As far as ordinary System politics is concerned, the best result of any general election now is that the misnamed Conservative Party be simply wiped out, even at the cost of a Labour Party “elected dictatorship”. Once one half of the binary political scam has gone, sooner or later the whole rotten system will fall.

Meanwhile, the British people face high prices and shortages. Online repression means that I cannot suggest how to punish the freeloaders…

Actually, a friend of mine used to lunch quite often at the House of Lords in the 1980s and 1990s. Similar prices, or even cheaper, adjusted for inflation. Smoked salmon for pennies, main courses a couple of pounds.

Main square of local town. Stake. Blindfold. Firing squad.

In a better world…

In fact the tweet is mistaken, and the local newspaper report misleading. One untermensch was imprisoned for 12 years, the other for 10, meaning that, in fact, they will be out in 6 and 5 years respectively.

Odd though. How was the woman “lured” to the locus of the attack, a flat? Are we getting the full story here? I think not.

A little judicious “racism” might save many women and girls in the UK. Fact.

Even leaving aside the crime(s), what use are untermenschen of that type to the UK? They are nothing but a millstone round the collective neck. Useless humanoids. Get rid of them.

As said in relation to other matters, people know in their hearts what will eventually have to happen.

Saturday quiz

Well, a poor result this week, both for me and for political journalist John Rentoul— we both scored only 3/10. I did get the answers to questions 3, 4, and 9, arguably the easiest ones. John Rentoul got the same questions right that I got right.

I thought that I had question 1 nailed with “boudin“, but (I think) it turns out that that is a different kind of sausage. Not sure. If “boudin is the right answer, then I scored 4/10. [update: just saw the official answers, and the right answer for that question is not boudin, so a mere 3/10 it is, one of my worst results on this weekly quiz].

“Prevent”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11764775/Yes-Minister-flagged-beleaguered-counter-terror-Prevent-scheme.html

No-one who has seen the tweets posted on Twitter by some of the semi-educated cretins identifying themselves as belonging to “Prevent”, or its associated bodies, will have been surprised at the recent storm of criticism around it. Indeed, I myself blogged about the nonsense several years ago: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/05/30/one-mans-extremism-is-another-mans-struggle-for-liberty-and-justice/.

Now it turns out that the kind of tendentious idiots they employ have compiled a list of books, films, and TV series which “might interest the [so-called] “far-right”:

Some of Britain’s most popular sitcoms and greatest works of literature were flagged as potential signs of far-Right extremism by a counter-terror programme.

The flagship Prevent scheme, recently the subject of a scathing audit, singled out comedies Yes Minister and The Thick Of It, the 1955 epic war film The Dam Busters, and even The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare as possible red flags of extremism.

The taxpayer-funded document included references to The Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent, 1984 by George Orwell and the poems of GK Chesterton. It also referenced films including The Bridge On The River Kwai, The Great Escape and Zulu.

Works by some of the world’s greatest writers were included as examples of warning signs of potential extremism, including Shakespeare, Chaucer, Milton, Tennyson, Kipling and Edmund Burke. 

It almost seems like a joke.

The report even highlighted the BBC’s 1990s political thriller House Of Cards, John le Carre’s seminal spy trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Sharpe, the ITV drama set in the Napoleonic wars.

Inexplicably, it said the BBC’s Great British Railway Journeys, presented by former Conservative minister Michael Portillo, was of interest to the far-Right.

Historian and broadcaster Andrew Roberts said: ‘This is truly extraordinary. This is the reading list of anyone who wants a civilised, liberal, cultured education.

Author Douglas Murray obtained the full list and discovered that one of his books had been given a red flag by Prevent.

Mr Murray wrote in The Spectator magazine: ‘A number of books are singled out, the possession or reading of which could point to severe wrongthink and therefore potential radicalisation… It seems that RICU is so far off-track that it believes that books identifying the problem that it was itself set up to tackle are in fact a part of the problem.’ He concluded that RICU’s work was ‘pathetic’ and called for ‘accountability’ for its errors and ‘sackings by the score’.

The list has emerged following a major review into the Prevent scheme by William Shawcross.

His report, published earlier this month, exposed serious failings in Prevent, warning that it applies a ‘double standard’ to Islamist and far-Right threats. The £49million-a-year scheme had prioritised countering far-Right activity above tackling the prime Islamist threat, it added.

The report said Prevent had scrutinised Right-wing material which ‘falls well short of the extremism threshold altogether’.

[Daily Mail]

I should be prepared to bet that the mix of staff at “Prevent” includes dim types harvested from police and military “intelligence” rejects or retirees, probably quite a few embittered Asians or half-castes of the Neil Basu type and, very likely, Jews.

In fact, I should also be surprised were the Jew-Zionist element not very prominent or influential in all this, whether directly employed by “Prevent” or not. The notorious Jew-Zionist snoop organizations etc.

My blog post about this “Prevent” nonsense was written almost 5 years ago. Looks like I have been proven right again, if I say so myself…

Earlier this month, a migrant from Moldova who had arrived in Ireland in September was charged with sexually assaulting a girl in Ballymun, another working-class area of Dublin. At his bail hearing, the court heard he had suffered head injuries after being confronted by up to 40 ‘vigilantes’ before police arrived to arrest him.”

In the immortal line of Windsor Davies, “oh dear…how sad…never mind...”

Last month, there were two ugly incidents in Finglas, a working-class district of the city, after rumours spread on social media that a local girl had been raped by a man who had recently arrived in the country.

An angry mob of about 200 surrounded a police station where the suspect was allegedly being held, with a ringleader telling the crowd: ‘The only way to f*****g deal with these c***s is burn them out of the f*****g place.‘”

Byzantine planning laws mean that only about 25,000 homes are being built each year, and around 11,500 Irish people are classified as homeless.

One of them, George Sturdy, whom I met on a protest march in Dublin this week, told how he was living in a shared hotel room rented by the government, having been evicted from a static caravan.

‘I’ve been on a waiting list for a council home for six years, and know people who have been waiting for almost 20 years. There’s a crisis with homes for Irish people, and you see them throwing open doors. What do you expect people like me to think?’

The conspiracy is transnational, and operates in Ireland, in the UK, in Germany, and all over Europe. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Google it.

In Ireland, a major conspirator was the (thankfully now deceased) bastard called Peter Sutherland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sutherland.

Sutherland strongly advocated unrestricted immigration into the EU… multiculturalism is both inevitable and desirable…”the European Union, in my view, should be doing its best to undermine” any “sense of our homogeneity and difference from others...”

Sutherland was the chairman of Allied Irish Banks (AIB) from 1989 until 1993.[15][3]

He was non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International

Sutherland was the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for International Migration until March 2017.[1][2] Appointed in January 2006, he was responsible for the creation of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD).[1] He also served as President of the International Catholic Migration Commission, as well as a member of the Migration Advisory Board of the International Organization for Migration. He was a board member of Wallenberg-owned ABB and the Wallenbergs’ conglomerate holding company, Investor AB.”

He served on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group until May 2014,[16] and was Honorary Chairman of the Trilateral Commission (from 2010), formerly Chairman of the Trilateral Commission (Europe) (2001–2010.”

[Wikipedia]

As I said, a truly major conspirator and enemy of Europe’s future.

Sutherland, totally tied-in with the transnational conspiracy (UN, WEF, GATT, WTO, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission etc), tweeted a couple of times against me when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018), but he died not long after that.

I usually say “de mortuis nihil nisi bonum” (“Of the dead, [say] nothing if not good“), but in his case, and the case of any like him, good riddance.

Seems to confirm the general tenor of what I blogged a few days ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/02/15/diary-blog-15-february-2023/.

Part of the reason is simply that there are relatively few “working-class” jobs now. As blogged previously, in the UK, the old “proletariat” has been replaced —to a large extent— by both the “precariat” (people in unstable, shifting employment, and with periods of unemployment), and/or by a contemporary form of “lumpenproletariat” (the raceless, cultureless masses whose world revolves around trash TV, trash “music”, “selfies”, drugs, drink, cars, and State benefits).

Some of what Monbiot sometimes says is sometimes right, but here we see his ingrained, genetically-determined (?) Jewish urbanism outweigh his learned environmentalism, arguably.

Monbiot is in fact only half-Jewish.

Not that I (as supposed “far right” “extremist”) am on the side of farmers at all times, right or wrong. Far too many (in the UK) are just greedy grabbers and/or freeloaders (taking endless subsidies or other State payments).

However, there is (as in the Netherlands) a push now by sinister forces to destroy the countryside for entirely spurious environmental reasons; in reality, just another aspect of the attack by alien forces on the white Northern European people (yet another aspect being the push to get blacks and browns visiting the countryside and/or relocating from cities to rural areas).

An enemy of humanity. Totally degenerate.

Very true.

Reading that, though, and seeing the reference to Arsene Wenger (a football manager), it once again strikes me how odd it is that (soccer) football has become the sine qua non for the UK middle classes.

It started in the 1990s, I think, maybe in the Blair years of the late 1990s. Now it is ubiquitous. Every politician has to at least pretend to “support” a football team, and you see both men and women, even professional men and women, not only “supporting” some team or other, but (apparently) genuinely and indeed passionately so.

It makes me wonder whether it is a substitute for ideas, ideology, or political partisanship, now that all the System parties are almost identical in policy terms and personnel, and now that any other ideological position apart from “mainstream” LibLabCon is deemed “extreme” (and probably “antisemitic”).

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/alarm-at-keir-starmers-selection-stitch-ups-has-spread-beyond-the-left_uk_63ea7625e4b07f036b9e842e

It makes me laugh that scribblers and MPs write much about the almost meaningless “right/left” labels, and occasionally about “antisemitism” (always from the viewpoint that it is, supposedly, “bad”), but rarely directly about the Jewish influence that now more than influences (put shortly, controls) the two main System parties.

I know what I would like to do to most of the MPs of both main System parties, and it would not be to vote for them.

Well, there it is. In this case political power certainly does come out of the barrel of a gun…

Not that the matter will ever be put to the actual Ukrainian people (beyond opinion polling). The regime of the Jew dictator Zelensky has shut down opposition parties, arrested the leaders and supporters of the same, and also banned trade unions and other organizations. His government may be, and is, a shambolic, kleptocratic mess, but when it comes to repressing political dissent it is efficient enough.

That of course is the problem faced by political leaders of any kind. They cannot be expert in all the fields over which their imprimatur is decisive, so it comes down to which “experts” or “specialists” they trust, unless their decisions are to be completely arbitrary in nature.

A political leader must inevitably always be a generalist, though he (or she) may be expert in one or two fields (eg Margaret Thatcher, a chemist who was also a tax barrister). However, what about all the other areas of policy, such as education, railways, military hardware, grand strategy, waste disposal and the general environment, intelligence and security etc?

You see all of that in the decisions of Adolf Hitler, among many others.

Hitler was, or became, fairly expert in some areas of military policy and strategy, and also knew much about art, architecture, and more academic fields such as history, religion and philosophy. In some other areas of policy or knowledge, he knew not much, yet had to decide upon them, a problem made worse by the structural constraints of the National Socialist state, meaning fuhrerprinzip or autocracy. The leader had to decide.

These factors affect the UK as well, for example at present. We have people who are pretty ignorant at the top (e.g. the recent Prime Ministers), and yet they have to decide high policy affecting diverse matters such as foreign policy, military and NHS procurement, law and order, freedom of expression, intelligence and security, transport etc.

There is no one answer, but having MPs, ministers, and prime ministers who are not such stupid deadheads as “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng), Therese Coffey etc would help.

Incredible, even in an age of lazy and/or ignorant journalism. Has Guardian scribbler Gaby Hinsliff thought to examine the sheer volume of mendacious invention built into the “Jack Monroe” “backstory” and fundraising? Evidently not, even though numerous really poverty-stricken people have been fleeced by the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”.

Which continues. As of today, 502 utter mugs each continue to send “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 a month, every month, via the Patreon website…

I wonder when “climate journo” Vetter last took a European city break trip, or perchance even a long-haul holiday to Africa or East Asia? In the world of “climate change” activism, as with the “refugees welcome” types, hypocrisy usually rules supreme.

Society would be better off if every one of those interviewees ceased to exist.

The Jews have been screeching about Roald Dahl for years, mainly because he recognized what Jews are like even while (in my view wrongly) saying also that Adolf Hitler was “a stinker” (Dahl also said that he was right about the Jews and their behaviour).

I doubt, though, that Toby Young’s “Free Speech Union” will mention the fact that the Jews are behind the attack on Roald Dahl. The “FSU” has never said a word to protest expressly against the Jew-Zionist attacks on free speech in the UK and elsewhere; neither has it said a word in defence of those persecuted by Jew-Zionist orgs which have persistently made false accusations to Twitter, Facebook, employers, professional and regulatory organizations, police etc; see my own experience (of several), dating back about 18 months: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/.
