Smith rolling of her cadaver eyes at a “million killed” tells you everything you need to know about the mentality of Centrists
The very fact that a dim and corrupt woman such as Jacqui Smith became an MP says much about the decadence of the political system in the UK. That she became Home Secretary beggars belief. Corrupt, an expenses cheat, a freeloader and a fraudster, as well as an influence-peddler.
Thick as two short planks, she was a teacher in the State school system before latching to to the old MP racket.
Now look. Despite her disgrace and removal as MP, she is sometimes invited onto TV shows as (risibly) having some kind of weight or credibility (why?), is paid much for “consultancy” “work” with KPMG etc (why? she knows nothing), and is even invited to take part in pleb-TV such as Strictly Come Dancing. How does she get away with it? Well, she is pro-NWO, pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby. Das ist’s! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqui_Smith#After_politics
Not that I have much time for George Galloway, who had the cheek to insult me and block me on Twitter. A political self-server and chancer, who (like not a few of the self-describing “Left” and “antifascists”) loudly opposes Israel while at the same time giving lip-service to the “holocaust” fable (even the absurd fiction of “gas chambers”) which fable is Israel’s main weapon; he pretends (?) to be not “antisemitic” (as if being “antisemitic” were a bad thing).
Zionist Jewish Power is the power to silence any criticism of Zionist Jewish Power https://t.co/fQGTBt0d9B
Emma Barnett describes herself as “a camouflaged Jew“. Not much! “They” always imagine that they are not immediately obvious but, in 99% of cases, are (if one is not asleep).
I repeat, arguing with such individuals is a waste of time…
1/2 @twlldun, deliberately missing the point. I refer to the moral force of the old zebra crossings, as compared to camera-enforced light-controlled type. Much of the fall in road deaths results from a huge reduction in the number of pedestrians and cyclists. https://t.co/2GKyWTX4qT
2/2 @twlldun, and much of the rest of it results from *car users* surviving accidents because of seat-belts, abs, side protection and airbags. I see drivers run red lights (esp pedestrian crossings) pretty much daily and was nearly killed by one such 6 weeks ago. https://t.co/2GKyWTX4qT
1/2 @twlldun In the early 1960s, my brother (aged 13) and I (aged 10)used to spend entire summer days, from breakfast to suppertime, riding our bikes in the Sussex downs (an area we reached from our Portsmouth home by suburban arterial roads). https://t.co/3SzbgoB7mW
2/2 @twlldun Our mother expected one phone call during the day( we always had the necessary four pennies). On other days we might spend the whole day running free in the streets, parks, woods and beaches near our home. https://t.co/3SzbgoB7mW
When I myself was about 7, 8, 9, in the early-mid 1960s, I would often cycle from my home (almost at the very point at which Reading, Berkshire, becomes South Oxfordshire and open fields). I would sometimes venture several miles further, often to Mapledurham (the Thames-side village used, a few years later, in The Eagle Has Landed, though in that film the location was transposed to coastal Norfolk).
Hitchens is right. Almost everyone now is afraid of others, of a virus most will either not get or, if they get it, will not be aware of it, and of their own shadows.
Yes. I occasionally used to use Downing Street as a short cut, in the early 1980s, before the “Thatcher Gates” were installed.
Music
Hitler etc
The huge “Hitler industry” rolls on, making profits for (often) Jews and others. Much of it is nonsensical. The typical TV “documentary” on Hitler has a number of “experts” (not infrequently Jewish), and often not very expert.
I was just watching a film about Hitler’s own art collection, and his own private funds. There were a number of schoolboy-level errors, as when one American “expert” mentioned the concentration camp “near the little town of Dachau, just south of Munich.” Dachau is north-west of Munich. I remember seeing the roadsigns for that place as I myself drove north out of Munich. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachau,_Bavaria#Geography.
A small point, admittedly, but typical of the careless scholarship on anything to do with the NSDAP, Hitler, or the Reich generally.
The film about Hitler’s private funds did contain some points of interest, as when one researcher said that, when he started to research the subject, he was expecting to find that Hitler had looted his art collection (“expecting“…!), but was “surprised” (!) to find that every last item had actually been paid for in the usual way.
Looks like that researcher had had his mind warped by anti-Hitler propaganda…at least he was honest to admit what he had found out.

Wearing masks, getting unfit for purpose tests then having vaccines that are unproven and probably dangerous. There now going to test the vaccines on children aged 6 to 17, where will it end? The gas chambers?
This is but the start. Whether the repression will reach its peak in 2021-2022 is as yet uncertain. It may not reach its peak until many years down the line. I do not know. What is happening now seems to be in the nature of a mass psychological experiment. How much will people take? How far can they be led? How much control will they accept? And so on.
The path (part of the now-called “Thames Path”) by the River Thames between Pangbourne and Goring, an area I myself know well, both in a childhood of the early/mid 1960s and early 1970s, and later, when I walked that same path in 1998. It was pretty overgrown in places at that time.
An area of England that has not changed much, superficially, in the past decades.
After that, Farming Today had an interview with a farmer who, starting several years ago, realized that his arable farm, farmed using modern chemicals etc, was losing all soil vitality. As a result, he has turned more to the once-common, but now rather rare, mixed farm model (decried by industrial farmers as inefficient).
Wise move. Rudolf Steiner said that the best model for farming was the mixed farm. Long term view, not short term. Environmentally-friendly.
Radio 4 Today was then broadcast. They interviewed an expert in cryptocurrencies, who himself has made tens of millions of pounds from them. He expects a Bitcoin crash.
Bitcoin was invented in 2008, and at first had no real-world value at all.
I think that 1 Bitcoin was valued around £10,000 at time of blogging. Between then and now, the price has varied between about £2,600 at lowest and today’s recordbreaking peak.
As of today, 20th February 2021, 1 Bitcoin is valued at not far short of £40,000!
I expected a Bitcoin crash three years ago. Never happened, though the value did plummet before recovering and climbing further. Now, though, a crash is surely (?) inevitable.
I notice that Alison Chabloz accepts Bitcoin donations; I hope that she got some before the price rocketed, and still has them. If so, she may have a windfall. https://alisonchabloz.com/how-to-donate/.
Strange to think that an early investor or speculator in Bitcoin, who might have bought 100 Bitcoin for as little as £200 in 2011 (or only £20 at start of trading in early 2011, i.e. at about 20p each), would now be sitting on £4 million.
On the other hand, any value held in Bitcoin is like value held in chips at a casino. Until cashed in, they are only of notional value. The man or woman who bought 100 Bitcoin for £20 or £200 in 2011, and who is now sitting on £4M, may soon be sitting on £40M, or £400,000, or £4,000, or 4p…
I suppose that anyone who is in the fortunate position of owning £4M in Bitcoin today would be well advised to buy a decent country house for £2M or £3M and retain the rest in Bitcoin while the price travels ever(?) higher.
There will be a crash in the end. This is fool’s gold spun out of straw.

Anyone imagining that the “virus” hysteria and repression is all about “the virus” or public health is much mistaken. The health situation has been twisted and weaponized.
What we have seen over the past year is not complete as of itself, but a template for later repressions.
Worrying for sure that so many young British people are so brainwashed, but not an unexpected piece of news. After all, that is what the System aimed at and is aiming at, namely an unthinking, easily manipulated, cultureless, and eventually raceless population. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. White Genocide.
The lockdown fanatics are very touchy about Sweden’s continued success, their schools open and people being allowed to go out and meet their family and friends. The comparison of death rates across lockdown and non lockdown states in the US also shows non lockdown fared better pic.twitter.com/tFedP6hzhi
This is happening widely. My own mother-in-law, aged about 95, was recently in hospital with a non-Covid problem. After about 2-3 weeks in hospital, her routine test was positive. She had, like so many, picked up “the virus” in hospital. She had no (and never developed any) symptoms at all (and is now back at her home), but had she died in hospital from her pre-existing problem, she would have been marked down as having died “with Coronavirus” or “within 28 days of having had a positive Coronavirus test”.
This is abuse of statistics (and hoodwinking of the public) taken to an absurd level.
@cyrtistyler . may I suggest that you send details to the e-mail address given at the top of the Bel Mooney article, femailreaders@dailymail.co.uk ? This has been a widespread unsubstantiated rumour for too long and really needs a proper investigation. https://t.co/CHOKJhISyf
Yes, @Fenton0101 the physical survival of Prague is a sort of miracle. Almost no other major Central European city escaped terrible destruction. Alas, the spirit of the place has been largely driven away by mass tourism and all that brings. https://t.co/o4hf6SE10j

I should have thought there was a great deal of point @dpjhodges.

Chekhov had a point. It might be argued that in contemporary Britain, and in North America, there is at least no “premature old age“, but maybe there is: true, people are living longer in years, but at the same time a strange double-aspect is seen.
The young today are careful, cautious, scared of what they are indoctrinated into being scared of, meaning “the virus”, “racism”, “sexism” etc; even taking any risk at all. In short, they often seem to exhibit traits of caution and even fearfulness, traditionally the preserve of the middleaged and, indeed, the elderly.
The other aspect seen would be a kind of juvenile attitude to life, seen in the adult, even in the middleaged. The obsessive interest in (in the UK) soccer football and (in the USA) American football. The playing of video games, computer games by those aged 30, 40, even 50+.
Other symptoms? The whole “dating app” culture. The middleaged women, often divorced, who feverishly pretend to a lifestyle more appropriate (if at all) to girls of 18 or 20. The male equivalent, as well. Also, the lack of interest in anything of a serious nature, even in those who (via entitlement more than via merit, often) are in the highest positions.
Examples? It became notorious, during the disastrous years of the David Cameron-Levita governments of 2010-2015, that the Prime Minister of the UK spent what his own civil servants called “a frightening amount of time” playing games on his mobile telephone. If I recall aright, his favourite was one called Angry Birds.
Others in that evil yet stupid 2010-2015 government had similar tastes. One was the useless Ed Vaizey (like David Cameron-Levita, a part-Jew).
Now we have “Boris” Johnson, another part-Jew, and another with puerile tastes and behavioural patterns. Someone just posing as Prime Minister, as did Cameron-Levita.
The above may explain why it is hard to form a serious non-System political party worth anything. The young are more interested in complying with whatever they are told by the msm , or in whatever is said about them or their friends on various social media platforms. The older (25+) people are not much better, and the middleaged are mainly engaged in pursuits which are extensions of juvenalia.
Politics, especially radical/revolutionary politics, requires other traits: risk-taking, commitment to ideals and to a cause, a certain selflessness, a willingness by the individual to join with others for a noble cause, as well as anger at the way things are, and a determination to struggle to a better future.
The National Socialists of 1919-1945 had that; the Bolsheviks and other Communists had that; the milder socialists and social-democrats too. Without that drive and belief, everything just trundles on as it is, or perhaps gradually getting worse.
Ha. When living in Kazakhstan (1996-97), I used to travel up to the mountains with friends in their Lada Niva. I even drove it for short distances once or twice myself. In the UK, a few years ago, I thought of buying a secondhand one, but few were available and, crucially, the Niva only comes in standard shift, not automatic, and my present (UK) driving licence only allows me to drive automatics. Quite a good budget option for off-road, though.
And why not? Decapitating a baby at birth is absolutely the same as a perfectly legal 'termination'. But believing that sex is obvious and fixed at birth it grotesquely bigoted.

I generally disapprove of capital punishment, as such (for spiritual-religious reasons, and because justice must be tempered with mercy), but there may be situations where a public hanging might do much to repress those who should be repressed.
1/3 @jimezsmoots. Pedantry is about small unimportant differences. The two were quite distinct. During WW2, for example, French Jews were much safer in the Italian occupation zone of France than in the unoccupied Vichy zone… https://t.co/4vdcUfN0Uq
I agree @andersinvienna. . It is painful to admit that Prague was far more beautiful when I first saw it in 1978, filthy from pollution, crumbling, oppressed, poor – and empty. It is a metaphor for the failure of post-Soviet freedom to fulfil its promises. https://t.co/9VqfCKGxme
Ha ha! That reminds me when a Soviet citizen visiting London in the late 1980s saw the BBC TV News, presented by Moira Stuart [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moira_Stuart], and said to me, “not only a black woman, but one with a speech impediment!“…

Tweeted by a barrister, one of them, so I suppose that younger people reading think it “must be right”. In fact, while it is true that women (and others) could be refused service in a pub, that almost never happened simply because a woman wanted a drink. The same was true of blacks. As for “being gay was imprisonable“…no, it never was, not in the UK, though there were offences committed if actual gay sex was indulged in.
As ever, the devil is in the detail, and in the words “legal right“…
Those tweets give a false picture.
I myself was once refused service in a bar, for having entered the saloon bar of a country pub, in Surrey, while wearing muddy Wellingtons. I, and the young lady accompanying me, had to move to the (equally empty) public bar, where the floor consisted of stone flags instead of carpet. That was in 1984.

I cannot (I am not so sure that I myself would be so trusting or confident, were I in the position that my parents were in 1969, when en passage from Sydney to Southampton).
Having said that, when I raised the point and the memory a few years ago, in relation to my then-young nephew, maybe 14, having to be accompanied when travelling between London and points South West, my mother simply replied “you were a different kettle of fish“…

When I was briefly in Prague in 1988 (en route by car from “the West” to Poland), there were no or almost no tourists, and it was still a socialist-model society.

Freer perhaps, more crowded certainly, with innumerable tourists.

“Dr” Louise Raw, prolific “antifascist” tweeter, fantasizing about being able to arrest, have arrested, or see being arrested, those with whom she disagrees socially or politically. Not “just” those she and her type label “fascist”, “Nazi”, “neo-Nazi” etc, but also persons such as American alt-Right journalist Andrew Ngo, or London radio loudmouth Julia Hartley-Brewer.
On the other hand, to compare “Dr” Raw or her like to Trotsky or Stalin (or Dzerzhinsky for that matter) would be even more silly than her labelling of others. As Marx commented in The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, the “first time tragedy, second time, farce“. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eighteenth_Brumaire_of_Louis_Bonaparte.
As I have often noted in this blog, “socialism” died around 1989 and has been replaced by the grotesqueries of “Black Lives Matter”, LGBTQXYZ nonsense, “trans” nonsense, “antiracism” nonsense and all the other socio-political absurdities we now see around the self-describing “Left”.
Silly people such as “Dr” Raw tweet about locking people up for their views, but she at least seems (?) to have enough awareness to realize that she and her cohorts cannot actually do that. She and they are reduced to bleating that the State, or someone, or anyone, should take such measures.
The self-describing UK “Left” is now the haunt not of the scoundrel, not solely anyway, but of those in a comfortable, unthinking, and mutually-supporting niche, who want to be told what to think, say or do by the EU, official bodies, “Covid marshals” etc. Thus they love Twitter, and their greatest joy is to see someone of whom they disapprove expelled from Twitter. They put forward no programme, have no political traction, and are basically irrelevant.
I might add, “ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee“…
Incidentally, Kim Philby [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Philby] was a great admirer of Eighteenth Brumaire. I expect that he would have known the fact noted below:
“In the preface to the second edition of The Eighteenth Brumaire, Marx stated that the purpose of this essay was to “demonstrate how the class struggle in France created circumstances and relationships that made it possible for a grotesque mediocrity to play a hero’s part.”[1]” [Wikipedia] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eighteenth_Brumaire_of_Louis_Bonaparte. [my bold emphasis].
Is that how Philby secretly viewed himself? As a “grotesque mediocrity” nonetheless able to play a role arguably (in Philby’s mind?) “heroic”? Was that one reason why Philby drank so much, that dissonance?
I suppose that we shall never know. In any event, I myself am sceptical of the (supposed) importance or significance of Philby, despite the books which continue to be churned out about him, mostly in the UK.
As a matter of fact, I once (in fact more than once; several times) met someone who had once met Philby, or at least had heard him give a lecture. I should have been more curious and asked about that person’s impression of the “great spy” and/or “great traitor”.

One of the most telling ways in which the Jew-Zionist lobby has poisoned the UK is in the “denial” label. First there was “holocaust” “denial”, aimed at anyone, whether professional historian or not, questioning the “holocaust” narrative in whole or part (even the ludicrous “gas chambers” nonsense).
After that came climate change “denial”, a term aimed at anyone questioning the causes or effects of what was originally termed “global warming”. As with “holocaust” “denial”, it turns out that the “deniers” have at least the preponderance of fact on their side: Prince Charles and others were wrong when they said, in 2009, that humanity had 3, then 5, then 7 years “to save the planet”.
It turned out that the “experts” were not only wrong but actively mendacious in saying that the Himalayan glaciers would soon melt completely, resulting in the Ganges, Indus and Brahmaputra all running dry.
‘Gore claims the snowcap atop Africa’s Mt. Kilimanjaro is shrinking and that global warming is to blame. Yet according to the November 2003 issue of Nature magazine, “Although it’s tempting to blame the ice loss on global warming, researchers think deforestation of the mountain’s foothills is the more likely culprit. Without the forests’ humidity, previously moisture-laden winds blew dry. No longer replenished with water, the ice is evaporating in the strong equatorial sunshine.”‘ “
Well, now we have “Covid-19” “denial”! Anyone questioning the origins of “the virus”, anyone saying that the World Economic Forum and others are using the virus as a means for a “Great Reset”, anyone questioning the utility of repressive government measures such as facemask-mandating, “lockdowns” etc is a “denier”, a kind of heretic, probably a criminal or even a murderer…
This is that happens when it becomes a heresy to question officially-supported fact-narratives. Beware.

What was “unhinged” was the UK and France offering Poland a “guarantee” in 1939 which was not worth the paper on which it was written. That spurious “guarantee” triggered WW2 as surely as the mass mobilizations of 1914 had triggered WW1.
More accurately, the “guarantee” to Poland, when not just ignored by the UK and France on the fateful days of 1-3 September 1939, triggered that disastrous war.
Why is nationalism okay for Jewish people, for black people, and for indigenous Americans but not for ethnic British people and whites in general?

I lived in Cornwall for two years or so (and another two on the Devon side of the Tamar), having from 2002 to 2004 a lease of one of the largest country houses in North Cornwall (seen below in a 1940s photograph):

The immediately above photograph shows me standing by the ballroom carriage entrance. Incidentally, I am not giving a “Hitler” or “Roman” salute, but merely trying to pose “casually” for the picture, as if resting my hand on the stonework. I am not (it goes without saying) a natural photographic subject…
Cornwall offers few people well-paid work; small businesses such as the Cornish Cheese Company (I am not a shareholder, by the way!) need encouragement to succeed or even survive. The geographical location of Cornwall, its relative isolation, increases shipping costs, and so on.

Dismayed to read the reports from Bristol. The Labour Party under Keir Starmer is becoming an increasingly inept, anti-democratic, and frankly corrupt political machine.
I have no idea what shenanigans are going on in the Bristol Labour Party, but what might have been expected from Keir Starmer? It amuses me to see the parallels between him and that little pissant, “Conservative” Party Cabinet minister, Robert Jenrick: both completely in the pocket of the Jewish lobby, both married to Jewish wives (both of whom are property lawyers), both having children all being brought up as Jewish (eg celebrating the Jewish supremacist religious holidays etc).
Surprising court judgment
Kids Company judgment is out!! RUPERT BUTLER (acting through Leverets) and Natasha Jackson (instructed by Leverets) successfully defend Camila Batmanghelidjh in the 10-week directors disqualification trial before Falk J.
It is not for me to say whether or not that peculiar woman, Camila Batmanghelidjh, was in some measure a fraud, or whether what she did was in any measure fraudulent. All that can be said was that very large amounts of State funding were spent and probably wasted on a “motley crew” of inner city London ferals. She was in charge (supposedly).
All one can say for sure is that the government of the part-Jew, David Cameron-Levita, was a complete mess.

The Roman Empire slowly collapsed from not one but many causes. However, one was the combination of decadence, luxury, profligacy and cultural degeneration at the top of that society; another was mass immigration into Rome and Italy generally from all parts of the Empire.
There is no exact parallel with the Europe of today and the Britain of today. Close enough, though.

I knew that this sort of censorship happened. I have long argued that the most pernicious “cancel culture” is the one directed toward pro Palestinian speech. But I was shocked at how blatant it was. They were very clear I was being fired for criticism of US policy toward Israel.
I am lucky, however, that I have an independent platform at my own small leftist magazine. This means that I have more ability to speak, because I can survive without getting another newspaper column. If I was freelance it would be much more difficult.
The editor in chief told me, in writing, that I wasn’t allowed to tell anyone that he was policing my tweets because officially I was “free to speak.” He tried to “confidentially” patrol my public speech. But I am not going to keep something like that silent.
ah yes because when I get canceled, it's cancel culture but they when get canceled it's just whining, for the things I believe are better than what they believe.
It has been very obvious that cancel culture (not the best name but that's another story) would never be something
that is restricted to canceling the "bad guys". It has been very clear that this is an all-encompassing phenomenon that will come back to bite *anyone* expressing a dissenting opinion, no matter how well-reasoned that dissenting opinion is.
“The incident, on May 29, 2018, began as Ms Lancaster was about to leave the Tesco store and Doris’s son was swinging on a metal bar.”
“Doris [black defendant], believing [white victim] Ms Lancaster’s basket had touched her son’s head, shouted “you have met the wrong woman you white b***h”, the court heard.
“She shoved Ms Lancaster inside the store, hurled racial abuse, and told her: “Watch out, watch what happens to you when you come outside”, Southwark Crown Court heard.“
“She then shoved Ms Lancaster on the shoulder, forcing her to stumble forward”.“
“Ms Lancaster, who works in the travel industry, suffered injuries to her head and knees, and was left with post-traumatic stress disorder, the court heard.“
“Doris, who was sentenced via videolink from her home, admitted assault by beating and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.“
“Darryl Cherrett, her barrister, said Doris has learning difficulties and mental health difficulties.”
“She entered guilty pleas last month on the first day of her trial, with the judge agreeing for her to be sentenced remotely as she was not going to send her straight to prison.”
Sentence? A “suspended” (plus some “mental health” and “rehabilitation” bs). I wonder what a white person would have got, had the roles been reversed?
Several other aspects of that case are troubling: the judge apparently decided to give a non-custodial sentence before even having heard the full history, or any mitigation; the defendant being allowed to sit at home to be “sentenced”; the fact that this low-IQ and lunatic black woman has children at all; finally, a barrister called “Darryl” (chalk that one up to my prejudice). Well, there it is. Britain in 2021…
In the 1980s and later, I myself would sometimes visit that market, off Edgware Road, more to walk through than buy, though I did once buy an excellent-quality 2-flask spirit set in tan leather-covered steel from a woman vending from an old suitcase (and probably without a licence). Secondhand but pristine. £10, I think. Provenance (of both flasks and woman) unknown, beyond both obviously having come from Scotland.
Unfortunately, but inevitably, the “big battalions” of the (ZOG) Government, Opposition, msm, and their Twitterati camp followers, have won the argument for the majority of the public mind, won not on merit but because the fear propaganda has been massive and is now embedded.
It will be a different story once people realize that they are permanently poor, marginalized, unable to travel without huge expense and convenience, corralled and controlled, and muzzled everywhere. Then, they will look desperately for a solution…and a leader.
…and to think that I thought that only Russians eat ice-cream in the street when the temperature is sub-zero! Having said that, I myself once or twice had a Baskin-Robbins cone (probably coffee-flavour…I am very much a creature of habit) in a frozen Manhattan, a long long time ago.
These ancient remedies and preventatives are very useful, but we must not lose completely the advanced knowledge developed over the past 500 years (much of it in the past century). If world society steps back, let it then step forward twice, and our society bounce back even if and when a short-to-medium term disaster occurs.

If the police don't understand the law, how do they expect the public to understand them?
I'm not sure why we're supposed to respect the police if they can't get one of the most basic and fundamental parts of their job right.
I have experienced similar problems with the police a few times over the past few years, particularly in 2017 and 2018. Police who not only do not know the specific law they themselves are purporting to enforce, but are simply unwilling to be instructed by me, a former practising barrister (one wrongfully disbarred some 8 years after I ceased practice: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/) as to what the law is.
What the law is, not what stray police constables think that it is or might be, and certainly not what malicious Jew-Zionist individuals would like it to be.

I have never been to Copenhagen, but I once read somewhere that, until quite recent times (possibly 1980s), the gates of the Carlsberg brewery had Swastikas either on the gateposts or worked into the brickwork of those gateposts. Maybe the latter. I doubt that they are still there today, wherever they used to be.

Exactly. The Government is not respected but the “Labour” “Oppositon” is just irrelevant, and is unwilling to oppose “lockdown”, the facemask nonsense etc; indeed, wants more “controls”!
Labour (label) just has nothing to offer. The fact that Keir Starmer is a puppet of the Jewish lobby (meaning Zionist lobby, Israel lobby, NWO/ZOG) is not very relevant in terms of public attitudes, because the public is mostly asleep. Jew-Zionist “control” is rather “caviar to the general”. What does sink Starmer is that (as I blogged before he even took over from Corbyn) he is as dull as ditchwater.

Meanwhile, the msm ignores, or almost ignores, the vast and increasing toll of death and misery caused by the unnecessary ad disproportionate “lockdown”/shutdown and allied measures such as the facemask nonsense.
I just heard on the radio about those having to pull out their own teeth in agony because dentists are operating at low capacity or not at all, while still being paid pretty much full whack by the NHS! Total scandal.
Human beings tend to complain. Once, long ago, when living in the Caribbean, I was chatting online to a girl who lived in the English town of Hereford. I was complaining about how boring day to day life was in a villa without TV, satellite or even a telephone (but it was a pleasant detached villa with no close neighbours and on what was in effect a private beach, the sea about 20 feet away…). Her reply? “You think you’ve got problems. It’s cold here, and it has rained so hard that the ceiling of my bedsit has just fallen in.” Life is always relative.
Columnist Peter Hitchens says lifting Covid rules requires political courage: “Once you put restrictions in place, no one will take responsibility for removing them.”
A boy of, at time of “offences”, 13-14, but now 16, made the focus of a prosecution and huge publicity. What, really, has he done? Nothing except shoot his mouth off and research things on the Internet.
The court obviously realized the specious nature of the prosecution. Non-custodial sentence.
There is far too much nonsense of this sort, driven by a ZOG political agenda, and facilitated by too-zealous police and prosecutors.
I have written before about “prepping” in the UK or Western European context. Those articles can be found using the search box on this blog.
In essence, I made a distinction between the kind of “prepping” or survivalism appropriate (arguably) in North America, and that appropriate in Western Europe and particularly the UK.
I also distinguished between pure survivalism on an individual and/or small group basis, and the kind of community “prepping” that might keep culture and civilization alive, forming a germinal ethnostate that might later blossom into something that might replace the lost world (the one in which we live at present).
Today, I want to address the steps that individuals can take to be more prepared for what might be coming. I mean realistic measures, not involving disappearing into the Scottish Highlands with a Swiss Army knife and a box of Swan Vestas.
To deal with the least likely scenario first, my blog posts about the formation of social-national communities (also available via the search box on here) covered the sort of situation where an individual or family have the means to buy a country estate, a farm, or a detached house with land or at least a large garden area.
An acre or two of land is enough to feed one person, possibly several people, depending on diet. A rule of thumb might be 1.5 acres per person. So a family of four might need 6 acres, well within the amount of land often found attached to houses in the country (as distinct from “country houses” stricto sensu).
The more one moves away from a purely vegetable, fruit and nut diet, the more land is necessary. A single tomato plant (a single seed may cost from 1p to 40p) can produce 30 pounds weight over a season; in exceptional conditions, 80 pounds weight.
At present in the UK, one can keep up to 20 chickens without notifying officialdom (DEFRA). 20 chickens will produce about 15 eggs per day, so if about 6 are required, you should only need about 8 chickens.
Anyone in the fortunate position of starting off with such property can improve its survival possibilities by, firstly, making it independent of the electricity grid. Solar panels for electricity, and (assuming roof space is available) the other kind of solar panels for production of hot water: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating.
Such panels do not last forever. After 20 years they lose efficiency. Still, well worth having, and it may be possible to store some against a future collapse of society.
There are more traditional improvements to houses that can help save heat: insulation is one; roof, between attic and main floors, within walls. Another is double-glazing. In the UK, this is usually within a module, the panes not far apart. In other countries, such as Russia and Kazakhstan (where I once lived for a year), the panes are built in, and can be six inches or even a foot apart. They can usually be opened (in older buildings), and some people grow pot plants in the space. In some buildings in central and northern Russia, there is even triple-glazing. Ventilation is via a small window in the corner of each large window, that small window being called a fortochka.
Electricity can also be generated from small-scale hydropower, depending on whether a river or stream is nearby; it need not be expensive or complicated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pico_hydro. Small and very small readymade systems can be installed for a few thousand or even a few hundred pounds;
It may be worth having a generator which works off petrol or diesel, for short-term emergency use only. Expensive (at cheapest, several hundred pounds, usually more, in the low thousands). This usually requires construction of a fuel holding tank, which is also expensive, and potentially hazardous. Still, a generator may be worth having, despite its noisiness, with the idea of using it for a hour or two per day, perhaps in the evening, or purely for emergency power.
Not much electricity can be produced by human effort, though there are bicycle generators which produce enough power for a light bulb and or small devices such as radios etc while the pedalling continues. A relay of two or three connected to a charging battery could therefore produce perhaps two or three hours of small-use electricity for an hour of pedalling.
Small-scale wind turbines can produce enough for basic purposes, as an addition to the mix.
Traditional heating still has its uses: open fires or, more efficient, woodburning stoves.
Cheap coal is mostly to be banned soon in the UK (for domestic use), but a remote country house is unlikely to be checked out, and in conditions of societal collapse there would be no men with clipboards anyway. It is probably possible to buy a stockpile of, say, 100 tons of wet coal, fairly cheaply now if you know people. The approved kind of smokeless coal costs far more, about £300 per ton.
There are useful items that can be charged by human effort (wind-ups): radios, lamps etc.
There are table and other lamps that are powered by batteries that are recharged via solar power.
The country house owner may wish to install useful small-scale equipment for use in times of collapse: cider presses, threshing machines, nut-oil presses etc. It costs less than you think. Hundreds rather than thousands, usually. Also, the sort of equipment that can produce home-made beer or cider. I tried making beer once or twice when I had the lease of a large country house in Cornwall many years ago. My efforts were, putting it kindly, crowned with only modest success. Practice makes perfect, or as the Russians say, “repetition is the mother of learning” (it rhymes in Russian).

[Grand Orangerie, Peterhof/Petrodvorets, St. Petersburg region]
Whatever the scale of residence of the prepper, there can be improvements made.
Water purification is also key, in case the mains supply is cut off. Many but not all country residencies have a private supply. When I lived in Cornwall, the country house had its own abundant supply from a spring. When I moved to a more modest place, a 6-bed farmhouse on the Devon side of the Tamar, that also had its own supply. I read somewhere that somewhere between 5% and 10% of the UK population have access to private water supply. Surprisingly high, if accurate.
Something that almost everyone can do is to lay in extra longlife food. In his interesting memoirs, Drink and Ink, once-famous writer Dennis Wheatley [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Wheatley] describes how, in his late 1930s newspaper column, he advised his readers (in 1938 or 1939) to stock up on dried and tinned food. He did so himself, and later wrote that when rationing was mandated (1941), he and his family got through the war far better as a result.
Tinned food is good (in the sense of edible) for far longer than the 2-5 years “Best Before” date. Some dried foods, eg white rice, are OK (if kept very dry) for 20 years.
There is no need for immediate bulk buying. A few tins or bags of rice extra whenever shopping should do it.
People should lay in a supply of seeds, and of course a range of equipment relating to horticulture, as well as small but always useful items such as nutcrackers, kitchen equipment, matches, lighters, tealights and candles.
The same goes for first aid stuff: bandages, band aids (in England, “plasters”), and so on. Painkillers and other proprietary medicines (they become less effective over time, but better half a pint than none…). All useful; we saw in 2020 what happens when, suddenly, loo paper, kitchen roll, pasta, flour, antiseptic products etc become unavailable.
The above should at least be a basis for further research for people interested in mitigating the effects of a possible societal meltdown.

Rigged.

Not as much as Johnson laughed when the ‘Corbyn Out’ lot sabotaged their own party & ensured the Tories won the last election. And it scarcely matters what socialists say, Starmer is tanking in the polls by his own efforts anyway.
Well, “Dr.” Raw does have a point. True, Labour is closer behind the Conservative Party than was the case at the 2019 General Election, but that is mainly because the Jewish press (both msm and otherwise) has almost stopped demonizing Labour now that Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer is leader.
Still, looking at the incompetence and nonsense of the present ZOG/NWO regime at Downing Street, it might have been expected that Labour would be miles ahead. It might be, were it a real Opposition, but Starmer just supports everything that “Boris”-idiot is doing, but says that it should be done more! Lockdown, the facemask nonsense, you name it.

The Dutch mounted police were filmed cracking open the heads of fleeing protestors with heavy clubs.
Strangely enough, the UK msm went mad today about Russia, but forgot to mention the Netherlands. BBC propaganda was blatant. All very (((odd))).
