[Petrograd, March (new style) 1917]

Today marks the 109th anniversary of the Bolshevik seizure of power in October (old style) 1917, arguably the most significant single event in the Europe of the 20th Century.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week 5/10, thus trumping the 3/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I knew the answers to questions 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10. I just missed getting the answer to question 8 as well but, in the old saying, “a miss is as good as a mile“…

Ridiculous Andy Burnham is continuing with the “we stand with Ukraine” nonsense, funnelling money to the Kiev regime dictatorship while Britain sinks under inflationary pressure. Unsurprising. He is just another performing monkey, not an organ-grinder.

Talking point

From my old Twitter account. A pack of Jews conspired to have me expelled from Twitter, which happened in 2018. Ironically, the expulsion meant that I was saved from yet another politically-motivated prosecution such as that which happened later (in 2023-2024). The Jewish lobby shot itself in the foot.

A few of my old tweets are still extant, in the Twitter/X timelines of Jew-Zionist trolls.

Another old tweet:

Still true, perhaps more obviously so in the circumstances of 2026.

[“Powerful explosions in Riyadh and an urgent warning from the United States

A second wave of powerful explosions rocked the capital of Saudi Arabia this morning. At the same time, the United States warned its citizens in the kingdom about the possibility of “large-scale and significant attacks” in the coming hours.

A representative of the coalition led by Saudi Arabia, confirming the rocket attack on Riyadh, stated that one of the missiles was intercepted. Earlier, he also reported an airstrike on Riyadh and the interception of a drone.“]

Ha.

I hope that the easily-misled American public understand which (((element))) is instigating this war (and most of the others)…

“Memories may differ”.

Leaving that aside, there is a lot of nonsense talked about WW2 rationing.

Recent studies drawing upon contemporaneous records etc have shown that, for about a third of the population of the UK, they were actually better-fed during wartime rationing than they had been in the 1930s.

Quite a few food items were not rationed at all, including fish (and seafood generally), though availability was a problem; potato; carrot; parsnip; bread (only rationed after the end of the war); game, including game birds and rabbits; honey; fresh fruit grown in the UK (however, often unobtainable in shops); and booze (though only beer and cider were widely available, and not always so).

Naturally, those best-off were farmers and growers, especially the larger country landowners who would have had game (rabbits, deer, freshwater fish such as trout), unrationed chickens (and so, eggs, which were also otherwise rationed), other domestic or wild fowl (duck, geese etc).

Such people would also have had kitchen gardens and glasshouses in which to grow food; also orchards etc. They might well also have had cellars containing —otherwise almost unobtainable— wine.

Furthermore, such fairly or very affluent people would also very likely have had stocks of tinned food (fish, meat, vegetables) stockpiled since the late 1930s (as recommended, inter alia, by famous author and journalist Dennis Wheatley, in his late 1930s newspaper columns).

[“My medical licence was suspended in November 2025. For 15 months. As a result of my advocacy for Palestine. At the behest of the UK pro-‘israel’ and zionist jewish lobby. Today, I had my second six-monthly review with the @gmcuk and @the_mpts.

For my submission, covering any updates since the last review in May 2026, I told the panel:

– 4,797 Palestinians have since been murdered by the jewish occupation in Gaza. 1,490 of them were children. That is 31%.

-Bombing and massacres occur daily. – Palestinians continue to be held hostage, kidnapped, and tortured. – ‘israel’ continues with impunity, without justice for the Palestinians or the British citizens they massacred.

The GMC counsel described me as ‘unrepentant’ in my social media activity, giving this as one reason to continue my suspension. I affirmed that I am indeed unrepentant in speaking out against the genocide and the system of supremacy that the UK government continues to fund and arm. That is anchored in my belief in the sanctity of life and the belief that God created all humans equally.

The suspension continues, of course. The GMC will have to apply to the High Court in February if they want to extend it further.

I miss my job and career. I miss practising medicine, caring for patients and the British people. My words, spoken or shared, were against their crimes. Their barbarity. To be unrepentant in this is my duty as a human, a Muslim, and a doctor. Free Palestine and Britain from zionism.”]

Strange, unpleasant, and seemingly pointless incident. I myself have been in that square a number of times, though long ago (1988 and 1989). In fact, I was best man at a large wedding held in October or November (I think October) 1989 at the famous Basilica of St. Mary, which itself is in that same square.

[“China Purchased 26 Tons of Gold in One Month

In October 2026, the People’s Bank of China increased its gold reserves by approximately 25.8 tons. This marks the 24th consecutive month that China has been purchasing gold.

With this purchase, the total amount of gold acquired by China since the beginning of the year has reached approximately 129 tons, and the country’s gold reserves have exceeded 78 million troy ounces.

Meanwhile, global gold prices fell by approximately 7% in October, representing the worst performance for the month since 2008.

China continues to replace the dollar with gold, taking advantage of the price decline to strengthen its strategic reserves.“]

Thought

[I claim no great originality for the thought, and in fact have published it in the past on the blog]

Some, perhaps many, of the Gazans behave in a monstrous fashion (towards both animals and people), but at least some of that is because they have been made monstrous over decades by the behaviour of the Israeli Jews.

Not all of the behaviour of the Gazans is the fault of the Jews, because I have seen how many Arabs from other countries behave; backward people, overall. However, the appalling behaviour of the Israelis, particularly in recent years, has coarsened the group-mentality of the Palestinian Arabs, especially those in Gaza.

I am actually wondering if it would be better were both groups not to exist. Still, that is not the world we are presently in.

“Thoughts out of season”, unsettling and unconsoling…

[““HE WAS OLD ANYWAY… SO WHAT DOES IT MATTER?”

Those are the words a paramedic says were spoken after 86-year-old Edward Anderson died alone on the floor of his bedroom.

Let that sink in.

Edward was a husband. A father. A hospice patient. A human being who deserved dignity in his final days.

According to investigators, his overnight caregiver, Beatrice Taylor, fell asleep during her shift. Around 1 a.m., she allegedly heard a loud thump and found Edward trapped on the floor with his head wedged between his bed and a nightstand.

He was alive.
He was conscious.

Investigators say a call to 911 at that moment could have saved his life.

Instead, authorities allege she walked away and went back to sleep.

Hours later, investigators say she spent nearly 40 minutes on the phone with her parents before checking on him again. By then, Edward was unconscious. Even then, deputies say 911 was not called immediately.

Emergency responders weren’t contacted until 5: 37 a.m.

By the time they arrived…

Edward Anderson was gone.

The medical examiner ruled his death positional asphyxia, meaning he slowly suffocated while trapped.

Investigators say data from his pacemaker showed he survived for a period after the fall, and that prompt medical assistance could have prevented his death.

Then came the statement that has left so many people outraged.

A paramedic reported hearing the caregiver say:

“He was old anyway… so what does it matter?”

It matters because every life matters.

It matters because growing old does not erase a person’s value.

It matters because no one deserves to spend their final moments frightened, trapped, and alone when help was only a phone call away.

Authorities charged Beatrice Taylor with aggravated manslaughter of an elderly person.

Edward Anderson deserved compassion.

Instead, prosecutors allege he was abandoned when he needed someone most.”]

I suppose that, in time, that sort of work will be done by robots. After all, no pay (and no fried chicken) required.

A few brutal weeks of basic training, and that man will be on the crumbling front-lines of the Kiev regime. After having been deployed, he will probably only be alive for a few days or weeks.

“Rivne” is the Ukrainian name for the town of Rovno, in Western Ukraine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivne.

Looks as if the young lady’s father has been kidnapped by the goons of the Kiev regime, and will suffer the same fate as the one shown in the previous above clip, in which a man was abducted from outside a chemist’s shop somewhere in Ukraine (looks like it was in Dnipro/Dnepropetrovsk).

Many MPs have CVs that are largely faked. Look at Iain Dunce Duncan Smith. He is also a criminal fraudster, who should have been prosecuted.

Burnham’s “strategy” of “majoring in minor things” has not —yet— angered many people precisely because of that. Ipso facto, if you like.

Perhaps surprisingly, Labour now sits quite high in the polls, around 30%.

In the country, in our society, though, the slide continues. Migration invasion, housing crisis, cost of living crisis etc. All worsening. Daily.

Is the name of the U.S. President “Trump” or “chump”?

Most commentators are thinking in terms of rockets, or bombs dropped from aircraft, but what if secret agents or special forces commandos were to smuggle suitcase bombs into target countries?

Frankly, I should prefer the UK to be invaded by Russians (not that it will ever happen) rather than by million upon million blacks, browns and Orientals from God-knows-where (as at present).

At least Russians are of European race, are (many/most of them) reasonably —and sometimes very— educated and cultured, and at least I can understand their language!

All about the dishonest and incompetent Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, and a whole cabal of dishonest Jew lawyers (both barristers and solicitors) connected with Lewis.

I have covered the issues in the past. Use the search box on the blog for more.

Were Europe not so decadent, and were the international order not so messed-up, most of the black/brown “states” of Africa and elsewhere could be taken back under the wing of a new European over-state, a new imperium. About 1% of the native population(s), i.e. the present pseudo-elites and kleptocratic political types, would have to be detained or eliminated, but the 99% remaining would love European order and relative incorruption.

Another interesting “Matt and Julia” vlog about “the real Iran” (and a few memories of my own)

Persian food can be very nice indeed. I often recall the food prepared by a Persian lady in London, cooked as a kindness for a friend of mine (and hers), an aristocratic lady from East Prussia displaced by both the Second World War and the decolonizing nonsense in the East Africa of the 1950s.

That Persian food was sent across the road, via one of the Persian lady’s adult sons, packed in takeaway-type foil containers. Fantastic stuff.

As to those Persians, they had a lucky escape. The father of the family had been an MP in Iran, was I think strongly connected to the Shah, and had been hanged after the Shah had been deposed. The family lost pretty much everything in Iran, but the lady herself was allowed to leave thanks to some kind of family influence. Fortunately, her two sons were both students at Imperial College in London. A flat in Little Venice had been bought as somewhere for them to live while studying. That became the home for the three of them and their little cat.

Of course, a mansion flat in Little Venice is hardly poverty (the pop group, Bros, were their nearest neighbours), but back in Iran they had had rural estates (near Shiraz, I think) and numbers of servants.

Nice people. They thought that my German friend, by then in her 60s, ate too little, and should be encouraged to eat. They were right: my old friend could not cook, and tended to subsist on bread (she liked, ironically, a Jewish bread with caraway seeds, bought locally), eaten with butter and a lot of salt, and washed down with lemon tea or sparkling water.

I still remember how nice the Persian food, cooked by that Persian lady, was. My friend used to share it with me, if I were around when it was delivered.

Small world: I was dining at the Persians’ one evening, for the first and last time in fact, in company with both my
German friend and her young (20-something) step-grand-daughter, when the subject of the contemporaneous Darius Guppy trial came up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_Guppy]. The Persian family had known Guppy as a small boy, Guppy being half-Persian; the Persian lady referred to him as having been “a nice boy”.

Many years later, about 24 years in fact, in 2017, I gave a half-hour political-legal talk at the then-popular London Forum. Afterwards, who should come to to me and introduce himself but Darius Guppy. A personable fellow, who had the interesting knack of being able to appear as if from nowhere, then later disappear the same way…

I did not of course refer to his 1993 trial and imprisonment, but I did tell him about the Persians with whom I had been acquainted and who knew Guppy through having known his mother, a folk singer who was involved with a film that won an Oscar; I once owned one of her albums. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shusha_Guppy.

I mentioned to Guppy that, as an Amazon Top 50 reviewer, I had once reviewed his interesting memoirs, Roll the Dice, on Amazon (that being before the Jew-Zionist lobby had my very popular reviews expunged).

Guppy is or was a great friend of “Boris-idiot” (Boris Johnson), via their Eton and Oxford days.

As said, small world.

[“”Only about 10% of Germans support further aid to Ukraine. Or, to put it another way, 90% of Germans are against continuing to spend German taxpayers’ money in Ukraine. Act accordingly.”

Alice Weidel, leader of the German party “Alternative for Germany” (AfD), delivered a speech in which a significant portion was dedicated to the issue of German support for Ukraine and relations with Russia:

“While you are trying to virtually single-handedly finance a proxy war against the nuclear power of Russia, our European partners are already cautiously showing restraint.

And while you approve one package of sanctions after another, thereby destroying our own economy and state finances, the United States and Russia are negotiating the supply of diesel fuel and concluding other agreements that are beneficial to both sides.”]

Pity the UK has no such politicians.

Very good, but would it not be better to concentrate such purchases in one area?

In any case, soon (if not already), the UK inhabitants of that age-group will be mostly non-white, so non-British in any real sense, with little or no emotional connection to, or respect for, our history and culture. Why would they fight for a Britain that scarcely exists any more?

Will Rory Stewart MP Be Prime Minister?

As to Gove’s former (?) girlfriend, Lola Salem, the mainstream media are saying almost nothing about her since she was committed for Crown Court trial a week ago on charges of possessing indecent images of children.

On “British” TV etc, you only see the Ukrainian conflict from the Kiev-regime side.

[“MBS IS FINISHED: THE HOUSE OF SAUD FACES TOTAL COLLAPSE Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector and Marine intelligence officer, warns that Mohammed bin Salman has entered a death spiral with no way out. A war launched in 2014 for quick military glory has become a 12-year nightmare that is now physically dismantling Saudi oil production. The American umbrella has failed, allies will not ride to the rescue, and the kingdom is losing decisively. The only remaining question is how fast the collapse arrives.

THE CORE VERDICT

Ritter states the demise of Muhammad bin Salman is inevitable.

“He’s finished.”

If lucky he catches the last gold-plated 747 out of Riyadh to a London hideaway or the United States.

If not, his head is removed by sword amid shouts of Allahu Akbar.

“It’s the end of the House of Saud.”

THE 2014 STRATEGIC ERROR

MBS tried to earn his military spurs with a fast victory over Ansar Allah.

The campaign turned into a 12-year nightmare.

His later decision to expand the war by striking Sanaa airfield only accelerated the destruction.

There is no political off-ramp left and no salvation coming.

THE OIL DESTRUCTION

Ansar Allah is no longer limited to blocking Bab el-Mandeb or hitting pipelines and storage.

They are now attacking production facilities and the wells themselves.

“This is the end of Saudi Arabia.”

Without oil the entire Vision 2030 fantasy collapses into what Ritter calls a Bedouin-infested sand pit with nothing left.

NO ALLIES WILL SAVE HIM

The American security umbrella proved nonfunctional.

Saudi forces are ineffective, overweight, proxy-driven and overmatched.

Pakistan faces massive Imran Khan protests and will not send tens of thousands of troops into a losing desert war.

Turkey has no interest in dying for the Saudis.

The Mecca Pact is a joke of maps and chalkboards with no real troop movement.

THE RIYADH PREDICTION

If MBS is removed and internal fighting follows, Ritter says Ansar Allah columns could drive through the streets of Riyadh.

Saudis have feared this outcome since 1990.

“Saudi Arabia is losing this war decisively. And there’s nothing that can be done to save them.”

The world will experience the same shock that hit when the Shah of Iran fell in 1979.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Scott Ritter sees MBS as toast and the House of Saud heading toward the same abrupt end that surprised everyone in 1979. Energy production is being dismantled, no outside force will intervene, and the collapse is already underway. History is about to deliver a shock that almost no one in the West has priced in.”]

Refers to Burnham’s stupid comment to the effect that Russia somehow procured the 2016 Brexit Referendum vote. Now Burnham admits that he has no evidence whatsoever to back that. He is pathetic.

[“Historic Milestone in Florida as Over 80 Orthodox Jewish Families Move Into New $100 Million-Plus Community and Schools Open

More than 80 families from New York have moved into Lakefront Estates, where schools have now opened. Dozens more families are expected in the coming weeks, following reported investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in the project.

Located in Glades County near Lake Okeechobee, Lakefront is a purpose-built residential community. The broader development plan calls for up to 1,000 single-family homes and 300 rental units.

The vision goes beyond housing: plans include synagogues, mikvahs, boys’ and girls’ schools, a yeshiva, a kollel, kosher shopping and medical services. Developers are targeting families seeking more space and an alternative to soaring housing costs in established Orthodox neighborhoods.

Hatzalah South Florida has also begun organizing a local branch, meeting with prospective responders who will serve Lakefront. With families arriving and classrooms opening, the focus now shifts from construction to building the services a growing community needs.“]

It has been suggested that there may now be some variety of superinjunction in place, an injunction which prevents being published even the fact of its existence. I wonder. The msm deletions would seem to support that theory, but how can such an injunction cover even the fact that a woman has not only been charged but has been committed for trial?

Apart from that, I have nothing further to say at this time about Lola Salem and the horrible little degenerate, Gove, having said it all in the past few days on the blog, and previously.

Relations between Russia and Japan continue to deteriorate.

If the next general election does not move things in at least a generally social-national way, the British people will be fully justified in taking whatever action is required to save this country.

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16198861/falklands-furore-marine-machine-gun-migrant-boats.html

“The commander who led the land operation to liberate the Falklands has triggered a furore by saying that boats carrying migrants across the Channel should be machine-gunned.

‘I would shoot them,’ Major-General Julian Thompson told a documentary about mass immigration to Britain.

The Home Office warned today that anyone taking the law into their own hands would face ‘serious criminal consequences’, while the Tories stressed that ‘opening fire on migrant boats would be completely wrong‘

Maj Gen Thompson, 92, who headed 3 Commando Brigade during the conflict, said of the thousands of migrants who land on UK shores each month: ‘We could stop them tomorrow if we really had the guts. I’d shoot them, sorry, but I would.’

Asked if he feared a backlash to his remarks, Maj Gen Thompson said: ‘As long as they don’t come around here, I don’t mind what they do.

‘They come over here and rape our girls. One machine-gun blast is all it would take… then they would get the message. I just want them to bugger off. 

‘If they [the Government] don’t stop them then there will be a revolution. Our leaders are just wet.’

He also says Britain is ‘just going downhill’, adding: ‘I’m glad I won’t see it, I’ll be dead.

‘It’s not Britain any more, it’s a sort of funny conglomeration of people, and in a wet country that allows itself to be pushed around all over the place.'”

[Daily Mail]

General Thompson is quite right.

The General has earned the right, at age 92 and with his distinguished military background, to speak the truth regardless of the untruths all around the issues commented upon.

Gove and Lola Salem

[Lola Salem with Gove]

I had never heard of the defendant, Lola May Salem. Turns out that she is of Jewish or part-Jewish background, having written in The Critic magazine that, when a child in Nanterre, a low-income banlieue near Paris inhabited by many North Africans, her brother experienced “anti-Semitism”.

It may well be, speculating a little, that this Lola Salem is of pied-noir origin. Google AI has this: “A Pied-Noir (plural: Pieds-Noirs, meaning literally “black foot” in French) is a person of European descent—including French, Spanish, Italian, Maltese, and Sephardic Jewish origins—who was born or lived in French-ruled Algeria during the colonial period from 1830 to 1962.“

Many pieds-noirs who left Algeria in the early 1960s were of Jewish origin.

One can only imagine what that woman saw in Gove. Someone wealthy and still influential, one supposes. Fairly big age-gap (26 years: she is 33, he 59). Still, these things happen.

Incidentally, the restaurant where Lola Salem and Gove indulged in seafood and public displays of affection seems to have been Sheekey’s [https://j-sheekey.co.uk/our-history/], off St. Martin’s Lane in London. I used to walk past there occasionally. and always thought to try it out, but never did.

Gove must have liked Lola Salem a lot, looking at the prices: https://j-sheekey.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/JSheekey_Autumn-Menus_ALC-26_09_26.pdf

The wine list is pretty impressive, too.

Regular readers of the blog will be aware that one of the 5 tweets that got me disbarred in 2016 at the behest of the Jewish lobby (specifically “UK Lawyers for Israel”/”UKLFI” and, in the shadows, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”/”CAA”) was that describing Gove in some such terms as a dishonest expenses cheat and fraud, and puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby. All true, but that did not save me from a wrongful (and, it later turned out, actually unlawful) disbarment.

At that time (2016), I was unaware that Gove was also a cocaine abuser and, at times, a shambling drunk as well. That only emerged into public view later. He was even filmed on House of Commons TV staggering drunkenly into the Chamber, scarcely able to stand up, but the tweets showing that (I think, YouTube footage too) have disappeared. “They” must look after their puppets.

Well, I cannot comment on the Lola Salem criminal matter as such, firstly because it is now sub judice, but also because I know nothing about it anyway, and first heard of the matter —and the defendant herself— only a few hours ago.

I wonder whether Gove himself was questioned. Perhaps it will come out at the Lola Salem trial; we shall have to wait and see.

The Jewish thing seems to hang around Gove like a clinging cloud of smog. I have never been able to discover for sure the background of Gove’s estranged wife, Sarah Vine (they are separated but not yet divorced; something to do with “paperwork”, apparently…). I have my suspicions, but her origins seem shrouded in mystery.

Gove and Sarah Vine were married in 2001 (in France) and stayed together until 2022. 21 years of marriage. There has never been given, publicly, any specific reason why they split, which was apparently at Sarah Vine’s instigation. I believe that the split happened prior to Gove’s mesalliance or misalliance with Lola Salem, so what was the triggering event?

In fact, it was the Jewish lobby that got Gove into Parliament as an MP in the first place (he is now yet another absurd “lord” in the degraded House of Lords, and Editor of the Spectator). He remains a complete doormat for the Jewish lobby and for Israel.

Tweets seen

The mainstream media are now trying to hide the whole story, even the Daily Mail, which at first splashed it. The (((usual))) mob, of course. For example, the System scribbler Dan Hodges, usually prolific on Twitter/X, has not mentioned the case at all.

You see it whenever the Jew-Zionist lobby wants to cover up something (or amplify something, for that matter).

For example, when dishonest and incompetent solicitor, Mark Lewis was fined and censured by the Tribunal under the Solicitors Regulation Authority in 2018. At first, there was nothing at all about it in the msm, not prior to “trial”, and nothing afterwards but Jews complaining about how “unfair” the process and sentence had been.

In fact, the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal bent over backwards to be fair to Lewis (now a wheelchair-bound invalid who lives in Israel much of the time) and even reduced his fine to a third or a quarter of what it would otherwise have been because Lewis’s own pro bono Counsel told the Tribunal that Lewis had no assets at all beyond his own clothes, a private pension worth £70 per week, and a used mobility scooter. No money in the bank. No real property. Nothing.

Even Lewis’s car (one adapted for invalids) was one provided to him via the DWP Motability scheme (until he crashed into someone and, after that, ceased to drive).

Ecce the great defamation lawyer…

The point is that the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby effectively controls or very strongly influences almost all those who scribble for newspapers, edit them, or own them.

I was just looking at Twitter/X. The Lola Salem/Gove matter is not mentioned by Dan Hodges, Andrew Neil, Robert Peston, BBC News, Sky News etc, you name it. News blackout.

Yes, the criminal matter is now sub judice, but even the bare facts of the matter that would be reportable are not in fact being reported.

[“Rupert Lowe has unveiled Restore Britain’s six point plan to overhaul the NHS, calling for an end to mass immigration and tougher controls on access to British healthcare.

The proposals include removing medical school admission caps, prioritising British medical professionals, recruiting exceptional overseas specialists, introducing penalties for missed appointments and expanding private sector involvement to cut waiting lists.

Lowe also wants free hospital parking, an end to foreign language translation services, the abolition of NHS DEI programmes, reduced bureaucracy and stronger accountability for senior managers.

He argues that the NHS must prioritise British patients and that immigration is placing unsustainable pressure on services. Restore Britain says a more detailed healthcare policy is being developed.“]

Should, but will not. The Kiev regime is a cabal-dictatorship.

Loonie.

[“A little park has a Tom cat who is fed by everyone. Last year, he was given the name Silent King. He neither fights with anyone nor has he seen anyone getting scolded. He sits on a parking chair and watches the people coming and going.
One day, a white kitten came to the park. She was very cute, but it turned out that she was blind. She kept bumping into things and didn’t react to sounds at all.

She didn’t seem very lively when she was alone, but she wasn’t lonely either.
The Tom cat noticed her and started staying close to her. Wherever he went, he would walk in front of her so that she would bump into him. He took good care of her.

He would lead her to wherever he was, adjusting his speed so she could follow properly.

Whenever he would go to the road’s other side, he would cover her with his body.

Whenever it rained, he would take the kitten to a safe place and then sit with her.

The vet confirmed that the kitten was blind by birth. If the Tom cat hadn’t been there, she would have died within a week.

People tried to separate the kitten to adopt her, but both of them kept crying.
That’s why it was decided that the community would keep both of them together.“]

Our animal friends.

Well, at least better than what the main System parties are offering.

Social-national Britain has to prepare to seize power without the formality of elections, the way things are going.

To destroy a whole city, its inhabitants, its animal population etc is a very bad thing to do, or have to do, but one wonders whether Europe really needs the city of Kiev at all.

When the state of Israel was created in 1948, a monster was born, created from the ghettoes, labour camps, and prisons of Europe as it was in or prior to the Second World War.

Interesting travel vlog

As before with those vloggers, there is a certain naivety. For example, they buy two baseball-type military caps with Chinese red stars, and wear them for a while. They would not wear caps with swastika emblems, nor even hammer and sickle emblems, probably.

What always strikes me about such vlogs about China is the scale of the engineering and architecture. The airports and railway stations put Europe, certainly the UK, to shame, frankly. The hotels and cafeterias as well. While I always have in the back of my mind the disregard the Chinese often seem to have for animal welfare (and, sometimes, human rights as well), it cannot be denied that China has leapt ahead in the past 20-40 years.

Another thing that struck me, but about the vlogging couple themselves, is how dependent they are on their mobile telephones. They pay for almost everything, from taxis to hotels, to railways and airline tickets, to food, even snacks such as crisps, using their telephones. One wonders where they would be were they to lose the devices, or have them stolen. Seems insecure, somehow. They even have apps or whatever to interpret for them in various languages.

Of course, I am a sceptic: I had a mobile telephone before most people, in 1993, and I had to have one when I worked as a barrister, but for the past many years have not had one, and do not really need one (I hope). My car has an emergency help facility built in, if I were to break down (unlikely) or have a crash. Have never had to test that out though; hopefully, it works…

Taiwan looks almost deserted in that vlog, despite having 23M people in a country half the size of Scotland. I suppose the main populations live in or around Taipei, in the north. The vloggers are in the west, having arrived from mainland China on a small ferry.

Ah, I see now that I mistook where they were, not on the main island of Taiwan at all, but on Kinmen Island, a very small part of Taiwan that is only about 2 miles from mainland China.

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

Interesting that the mainland Chinese have not invaded that small island. They must be following the maxim of Sun Tzu, “to win without war…this is the supreme excellence“. A saying we in Europe might ponder. There is no overt Chinese aggression towards Europe, but we do see increasing numbers of Chinese living in parts of Europe, not least the UK. Millions of them.

I believe that border areas of Russia, in the (once Chinese) far-eastern parts known from the 1930s to the early 1990s as the Soviet Far East, have seen seepage of Chinese (farmers, traders etc) coming to live there.

Another vlog from the same couple

As with their previous vlog posts about Iran, interesting to see aspects of everyday life there not usually seen on the UK/Western mass media.

All such rioters should be executed in the field, as soon as seen and designated.

So people earning £100,000+ per year are in need of State-subsidized childcare? The Nigerian idiot is even more of an idiot than I had previously thought. £100,000 p.a. (pre-tax) is scarcely a fortune, but it is still 2x-3x what most people are paid in the UK, and 8x-10x what many have to live on.

Also, the lady tweeter is right. The nexus “work hard/high pay” is not at all as firm as many believe.

Kemi Badenoch thinks that all the unemployed are “feckless drunks“. She was caught saying it. Not only very arrogant and dismissive, but actually wrong. Only a small minority are feckless drunks.

I think that you can see there the Nigerian woman’s background coming out. She, after all, is not English and, except that she has a British passport because her parents came to have her born in London so that she could later get a Brit passport (as the law was until 1982), is not in any real sense British. She was brought up in Nigeria and then the USA. She only came here as a teenager of 16-17. Her attitudes are basically pseudo-“libertarian” American, not British or indeed European.

Afternoon thought

Having seen what has been happening in Dover and elsewhere, and noted the lame response both of the old System parties and the new quasi-System parties (Reform UK and Restore Britain), it strikes me that all of those parties are vainly struggling to catch up with what has been happening on the ground.

The pace is being set, not by Farage, Lowe, Jenrick etc, and certainly not by Andy “Who-He?” and multikulti Labour (nor by the ridiculous Nigerian woman and her pseudo-Conservative idiots).

The pace is being set by what might be called the militia (albeit an unarmed militia).

A very good birthday present for me (I turned 70 last week).

“We need a chancellor who finally chooses the diplomatic path towards Moscow. That’s what Germany needs – a chancellor!”

“It’s horrifying to imagine how much money has been thrown away in Ukraine. With that money, we could have done so much good for ourselves and our country. However, the government has chosen a different path. They have decided to spend all our taxes in another country, which increases the risk of war for us and our country. They are choosing the path of war, which none of us can survive. We don’t need this government!“]

I saw a tweet from some German scribbler (ex-Bild) saying that the AfD should not have been “allowed” to stand candidates in elections such as the recent Sachsen-Anhalt ones. That is System “democracy” in Germany. A facade.

“From antiquity to the beginning of the industrial revolution, around the year 1800, total fertility rates of 4.5 to 7.5 were common around the world.[2][1] After this TFR declined only slightly and up until the 1960s the global average TFR was still 5.[3] Since then, global average TFR has dropped steadily to less than half that number, 2.3 births per woman in 2023.[1]

The United Nations predicts that global fertility will continue to decline for the remainder of this century and reach a below-replacement level of 1.8 by 2100, and that world population will peak in 2084.[3]“

[“Jason Arday was never trained as a sociologist.

Jason Arday has no degree, no Master’s and no PhD in Sociology. None. Zero.

His entire formal academic training is in Education and Physical Education: BA in Education Studies and Physical Education MA in Education and Pedagogy A second Master’s in Education PhD in Education — specifically on peer-mentoring among student teachers training to become PE teachers.

That is a doctorate in physical-education teacher training. It is not sociology. It contains no sociological theory, no sociological methods, and no sustained engagement with the core literature of the discipline.

Yet within a few years the same man was: Appointed Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Durham. Put in front of students teaching modules called Sociology of Education and Societies in Transition. Then made Professor of the Sociology of Education at Glasgow. Then made Professor of the Sociology of Education at Cambridge.

Students were paying close to ten thousand pounds a year. Some of that money was buying teaching and supervision from a man whose highest qualification in the subject he was employed to profess was nothing.

He had never studied sociology as an undergraduate, never taken a Master’s in it, and never written a doctoral thesis in it.

The word “Sociology” appeared only in the job title. Institutions simply accepted the re-description. A PE-and-education academic was re-labelled a sociologist and students were charged elite university fees to be taught by him. That is not an academic career progression. That is a category error that successive universities chose not to notice.

My mind has been blown by this revelation. No wonder his students report him leaning on desks talking about celebrities and inequality! He appears to have known absolutely nothing about the subject he was teaching!“]

Morning thought

I saw a few minutes of one of those boring TV shows about buying, renovating, and selling/renting unaesthetic little houses. In this one, the buyers were two African women, I think sisters. In the brief segment I saw, they were buying the house “as an investment“, with the idea of renting it out and also getting a capital gain. The younger sister had just graduated from somewhere calling itself a university, and hoped to make a living out of property, i.e. renting houses out to people (who would therefore have to use much of their modest pay to rent it). The “British” msm thus commends buy-to-let parasitism: someone will have to work to get money so that those Africans can live, parasitically, upon the labour of the tenants. It’s just wrong.

It might be a good idea for all those with more than a half-acre of land to set aside a quarter of an acre for growing food. That sounds like a small area, and is, but it is possible to grow quite a lot of food, in season, on such an area, even in the open rather than under glass; especially in southern England. For example, ~2-5 tons of tomato (~5,000-20,000 pounds weight). Or 2,500-4,000 pounds of broccoli. Or 5,000-8,000 pounds weight of potato.

It can be seen that a quarter-acre, or even an eighth of an acre, can produce rather a lot of food, especially vegetable food.

Not a complete answer, of course, and many people have no open space at all, but certainly an idea to consider for those with the possibility.

Would seem to imply a Labour-LibDem pact.

I have fought all my life against this meaningless “left/right” stuff. Impossible to define adequately. Just ignore such labels, and focus on policy.

Were Europe to face nuclear devastation, I doubt that the USA would get involved. Russia has 6,000+ nuclear weapons, many of them placed on unstoppable strategic missiles. Would the American ruling circles really put their cities, towns, military and naval bases in the hazard if Kiev, Warsaw, Berlin, even London were destroyed? I think not.

As for the USA, imagine if, say, its most important or populous ~200 cities were to be destroyed. At the bottom end, that means places such as Miramar, Florida, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa; places of which most people (even most Americans) have never heard. The USA would take about a century, maybe several centuries, to recover.

I think that the USA will keep the Mutually Assured Destruction threat for its own protection, but only for itself; not extended to the “NATO allies”.

Ideally, Europeans should take over Africa again, this time fully (far easier than many imagine), rule the continent benevolently for the benefit of Europeans, animals, birds, and Africans, put untermenschen such as Julius Malema up against a wall and, as for those (((others)))…well, my regular readers can probably guess what I think.

“A top military official has claimed that Nato is more than a decade behind Russia’s military capabilities, months after a British brigade was wiped out by a Ukrainian unit in war games.

Last year, the UK took part in a war simulation in Estonia involving more than 16,000 troops from 12 Nato countries but were ‘destroyed’ by Ukrainian troops in a ‘horrible’ defeat.

The embarrassing loss came only months before Ukraine’s former commander-in-chief warned that it will take more than a decade for Nato to catch up to half of Russia’s military capabilities.

Valerii Zaluzhny, considered to be one of the most trusted public figures in Ukraine, has said Nato was still behaving as if future conflicts would be similar to the Second World War.

Kyiv‘s ambassador to Britain reportedly said: ‘Most likely, Nato will remain in the same form as it is, and will spend 12 years, like Ukraine, transitioning to standards that need to be achieved in order to reach at least half of the level of the Russian Federation.’

The former general added that Ukrainian forces were superior to armies in Nato, who were still working to ‘doctrines’ set up in the 1940s, according to The Times.”

More Kiev-regime terrorism.

Yet more Kiev-regime terrorism.

Before very long, the Kiev regime will be unable to intercept most Russian drones and missiles.

Amazing. I once, long ago, crossed the Danube by raft-ferry (between Bulgaria and Romania); midsummer, but the water level was quite high.

[“Former head of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, confirmed rumors that he, Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Thomas Massie are hoping to create a new political movement or a third party, based on opposition to U.S. wars, the Israeli organization AIPAC, and corporate funding, with the initial goal of nominating a candidate for the 2028 presidential election.

In an interview with Chenk Uygur from The Young Turks, Kent said that the group met at Carlson’s home in Maine after concluding that both major parties repeatedly lead to “another war in the Middle East,” regardless of how Americans vote.

Kent also said that after participating in the 2028 presidential election, they may run for other offices, and acknowledged that difficulties in registering candidates may force them to nominate a candidate through an existing party. Here is a quote from Kent about the main goals of the group:

“We don’t want Israel dictating our foreign policy. We don’t want any more wars abroad. We don’t want to run a huge empire.”

Kent noted that the group has urged Carlson to run, but he has repeatedly declined. They plan to fund this activity through donations from ordinary citizens, rather than from corporate political action committees:

“As soon as you start taking money from corporate political action committees… you’re really not in control.”

Regarding J.D. Vance, Kent said that he still has a personal good relationship with him, but called him a “captive of the two-party system” who will have difficulty convincing voters to trust him in 2028 after he “defended Trump’s war.“]
