According to Electoral Calculus, that equates to about the following Commons seats: Reform 201, Labour 189, Con 131, LibDems 67, Greens 4. The only possible governments would be Reform as a weak minority one, or Reform backed up by the Conservatives, or a “Grand Coalition” of System parties— LibLabCon.

“Just 1 in 20 visas that Britain handed out to immigrants in 2022-2023 went to people who are likely to make a net contribution to the economy”. https://t.co/amLAYUsp5d
There is a constant attempt in the msm to downplay immigration as a social and political issue, as if it is some kind of side-issue or non-issue. Far from it. It impacts every other social and political issue, from housing and water supply to policing, law and order, educational standards, transport, pay, State benefits (including pensions)— you name it.
Indeed, the System still tries to pretend that immigration is beneficial, both socially and economically, despite the enormous weight of evidence to the contrary. The level of deception and, on the part of the System drones themselves, self-deception, is almost incredible.
So we in the UK still have “compulsory blacks” in pretty much every TV drama, “soap”, TV ad, panel discussion etc. “Blacks with Everything”, to adapt the name of the well-known play by Arnold Wesker. I wrote about it some 6 years ago on the blog. That despite the fact that actual blacks (Africans, West Indians/Afro-Caribbean) make up “only” about 5% or 6% of the whole UK population.
The propaganda is not aimed, primarily, at persons of my age (68) or indeed those in their 50s, 40s, or even 30s, but at “the young” and, especially, at children whose critical faculties are relatively or completely undeveloped.
The aim of that sort of propaganda is to normalize both the multikulti society and, even more so, inter-racial relationships, resulting in mixed-race children and, ultimately, in an entirely mixed-race society (except at the top level), as provided for by the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan and, at least impliedly, by the Protocols of Zion:
A lot of fuss (whichever side you are on) over one runway at one major airport. Meanwhile, the fake “green” agenda has shut down much-needed power stations, damaged the automotive industry, interferes in various ways in the lives of tens of millions of British people, and for what? Really, for what?
In the words of Fleet Street in the past, “you read it here first!”. This blog predicted that Starmer and his cabal, once in government, would [pretend to] “solve” the “small boats” invasion by simply approving, whether in France or elsewhere, the asylum applications of 95% of the invaders. Likewise the problems of accommodating the invaders in the UK.
The migrant-invaders are, increasingly, being given accommodation across the country in council houses, other social housing, and B%B accommodation paid for by local councils (local people, in other words) and by taxpayers generally. They are, thus, less visible than when all concentrated in hotels. They simply become part of “the UK’s housing crisis” almost all of which is, in reality, an immigration crisis.

Very true. Apart from which, and despite the flaws adherent to all empires, the British Empire was great and, overall, or on the whole, something positive.
You only have to look at any TV quiz show, such as The Chase, Mastermind, or even University Challenge, to see that most English/British people have no real sense of their own history.
For many, it comes down to a few simple or cartoon views of a mere handful of periods such as Industrial Revolution, Victorian era, Henry VIII/Elizabeth I/Spanish Armada, maybe the English Civil War, and of course WW2 (largely, the Battle of Britain air war) with a few other individuals and events standing out as historical stalagmites, and usually thought of as isolated cameos, akin to the Swiss legend of Wilhelm Tell having to shoot an apple off the head of his son.
Robin Hood, William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings, Drake, maybe Waterloo, and Churchill (as indomitable hero leader, not as the warmonger and hopeless strategist who destroyed —thanks to US and Soviet alliances— not only the German Reich, but his own British Empire and those of all other European powers.
No wonder that so many silly people, if asked their views of the current migration-invasion, reply along the lines of “we have always had immigration— Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Huguenots...” etc, as if the invasion of this country by non-Europeans, in the millions, indeed the tens of millions, is effectively the same!
I have occasionally wondered what motivates idiots such as Socialist Worker Party demonstrators. Time after time (over the past 50+ years— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK)), the said idiots turn up in the cold rain, wave their placards, shout slogans or insults, and achieve exactly nothing. For half a century. According to Wikipedia, there are about 2,500 paid up members, but the average turnout seems to be about a dozen.
Still, to expect reason from the unreasonable is itself unreasonable.
The SWP was established, like its predecessor orgs, by a Jew called Gluckstein, who took on the protective camouflage of a British-sounding name— “Tony Cliff” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Cliff].

Acc. to my use of Electoral Calculus, that would translate into Labour 300 seats, Cons 119, Reform 113, LibDems 71 (Greens 4, SNP 12 etc). So a Labour minority government propped up by SNP/LibDem/PC votes.
Still, with such a split, a point or two can make all the difference. One point less for Labour, one point more for Reform, and the picture looks very different: Lab 260, Reform 157, Cons 109, LibDems 71. The result would be a weaker Lab minority govt. even more reliant on LibDem (etc) support. Also, Reform rather than Cons as official Opposition.

“If a grown man believes that he is a woman, and takes steps to live his life to reflect that? Good for him. None of my business, it has absolutely nothing to do with me. However, when the rest of society is bullied into submission to accommodate that – we should draw the line. We should not tolerate being forced to call them women. It’s just not true. Certainly not allowing access to women’s sport, where a biological male has vast physical advantages. Trump’s position on this is the right one – it should be banned. It is entirely unfair and unjust. Women-only spaces must remain solely for women. The policing of our language on this, particularly in a medical context, has to stop. It’s dangerous, warped and does not represent actual reality. Men cannot get pregnant, and women cannot have a penis. Sorry, but that’s just a fact. And most of all? Stop forcing the idea that we can be born in the ‘wrong’ bodies on impressionable children. That poison needs to be kept AWAY from schools – ban it, and sack anyone in any position of authority who forces it on young boys and girls, potentially leading to permanent life-altering medical procedures. Grown adults are free to live their lives however they choose, but do not expect the rest of the country to change how it operates to accommodate this. We need to be respectful of individual choices, but we must not deny reality.”

The thing people need to realise is that the Government's problems aren't being created because they're pursuing some hard-line Left wing ideology. It's because the Ming Vase strategy meant Labour has entered government without any clear plan or strategy at all.
The “@louderry” tweeter ignores the fact (as she would, as a Labour-label supporter) that the continuing mass immigration or migration-invasion renders otiose any governmental plans to “bring in investment and fund public services” (even if Labour had any such plan, which I doubt).
The public services, in all senses, from NHS and police to water supplies and housing, are swamped, and will be swamped even more, by the ever-rising migrant tide. A million a year, in rough figures.
You still see tweets, or comments on rigged TV panel “discussion” shows, that the only reasons people don’t want mass immigration are because they do not want Indian or Pakistani NHS doctors with doubtful standards, or because they do not want to see blacks wandering about in their local area. Partly, yes, perhaps (and why should they have to tolerate that anyway?), but mainly it is because to import a population, every single year, the equivalent in size to that of Birmingham, or twice the size of that presently inhabiting Manchester, is a sure-fire recipe for total disaster.
It makes no difference at all whether the immigrants enter legally or not, except that the “illegals” are even less likely to have any useful qualifications or skills. The result, over generations, will be the same.
'No matter how admirable a #constitution may look upon paper, it will be ineffectual unless the unwritten constitution, the web of custom and convention, affirms an enduring moral order of obligation and personal responsibility'. Russel Kirk
This is exactly what those who favour a “written constitution” for the UK, or who come from the USA, often fail to understand. Britain does have a Constitution, and actually it is not entirely “unwritten”; it is contained in innumerable precedents, laws, customs, conventional procedures etc, but is not contained in one quasi-sacred document, as is the Constitution of the USA.
The best way to understand the British Constitution is to read a student text. English law undergraduate students, for example, usually have to take a Constitutional Law module in the first year of their degree.

“The regulations most destructive of growth are those created by moral panics — net zero, diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives (DEI), environmental social governance (ESG), “hate speech” and on. This government has created a new regulator every week. Each chips away at the ability of businesses to focus on selling their products and managing their employees. DEI and ESG are destroying the London Stock Exchange. The ludicrous proposal for a new football regulator will muck up one of our most successful sectors. Net zero is wrecking our automotive industry, our steel industry, our petrochemical industry, oil and gas businesses, farming, housebuilding … you name it. As Reeves is beginning to understand, net zero must be entirely put aside if we want to have growth.
No one is explaining the obvious: there is no money. In 1950, the UK had the fifth-highest GDP per capita in the world. Now we’re 27th and dropping. Yet we still act as though we have money to burn, spending more per capita on benefits than our wealth allows. We spend what “feels right” or seems “fair” rather than what we can afford. More prudent, formerly much poorer countries such as Poland are forecast to overtake us. Our brightest and best are leaving the country.”
In a sense, correct. My remedy, though, is of course not the same as that proposed in the Times (free-market pseudo-libertarianism), but a form of social nationalism.
Slightly to my surprise, I realised, after a week or two of Starmer-Labour, that the new Cabinet was clueless to an extent that rivalled or indeed outdid those of Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, and the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.
“Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” is not even the worst of the bunch. I mean, just look at David Lammy!
That Times article has sensible elements, but then degenerates into a polemic against the Welfare State and even (up to a point) the State itself. The Ayn Rand poison (((poison))) has contaminated socio-political thought in both the USA and UK.
He may know about business and, perhaps, economics, but his socio-political understanding seems to leave much to be desired.
The polemic continues thus:
“Our focus should be on citizens’ responsibilities — to get a job, support themselves and their family and contribute to the tax base (53 per cent of citizens currently get more in benefits than they pay in taxes).
But who is going to say this? All the major political parties regard it as electoral suicide to oppose the pension triple lock, cut disability payments, scrap regulators. Just look at the hysterical reaction to Labour’s eminently sensible cuts in the winter fuel allowance. Political leaders got the message: we must pretend that current levels of government spending are entirely affordable. But until some politician can persuade the electorate of the hard realities of what’s needed to get us growing again, things can only get worse.”
So the “noble” “lord” supports taking away the winter fuel help for pensioners, supports reducing the State pension itself, and supports (further) impoverishing the sick and disabled etc? Terrible, and actually unnecessary.
I agree, though, that there must come a point at which the British people say “ENOUGH!”…but not to institute a society of “Ronnie Reagan meets Ayn Rand”. More like “English tradition meets National Socialism and social nationalism, and they meet the Threefold Social Order”…
Who is now in charge of the Home Office? The Home Secretary, Labour Friends of Israel expenses cheat Yvette Cooper, who wanted British people to be forced to take migrant-invaders into their modest homes…

Jew-Zionists often make false and malicious complaints of “racial harassment”. Several have done the same to me over the years, the latest (of which I am aware, at least) having been made by Stephen Silverman, self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement at the tiny but (((well-funded))) fake charity, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which complaint to police about me amounted to an attempt to pervert the course of justice. I have no idea why the police let Silverman and the “CAA” get away with stunts like that. He/Gideon Falter/”CAA” have been doing it for 10+ years, not only against me but also against many others (on various legal bases)— David Icke, Al-Jazeera TV, and many many other people and organizations
That faked complaint against me, on the entirely false basis of “racial harassment”, was back in 2021. The false complaint failed, as did all the others, but was then quite wrongfully twisted into a complaint against me on a different legal basis, which eventually led to my free speech trial of 2023. See below:
I hope that P.C. Plod and the “Clown” Prosecution Service are now, even if belatedly, aware of the malicious and troublemaking character of Silverman and his “CAA” pressure group.
In the circumstances, all those convicted of “rioting”, forceful protesting, pushing against police riot shields etc etc and imprisoned should be released on licence forthwith, at the very least.
Look at it….and the country now harbours many many like it…

“Arabic might be considered the richest language in words based on its complexity. According to The National – the United Arab Emirates’ leading English-speaking news outlet – on average, a single written word in Arabic has three meanings, seven pronunciations and 12 interpretations.“
Not merely a philological curiosity; it means that the meaning and/or intent of the Arab is not necessarily clear-cut.
True, the same word in English can have several meanings (some words can, that is), but I do not think that that is quite the same, mainly because, in English, the meaning is usually obvious from the context. Also, it applies to a relatively few words, not “the average“.
Something for the Arabists in the Foreign Office to consider, if they have not all been purged, and replaced by Zionists (which may well be the case, looking at UK representation in Ukraine and Israel in recent years).

“Reform UK can win scores of Labour seats in England and Wales, says study.
Analysis of a mega poll shows Keir Starmer would lose more seats than Tories amid voter discontent with main parties.
Labour faces losing scores of seats to Reform UK across England and Wales as a widening section of voters lose faith in the mainstream parties, according to a new analysis seen by the Observer.
With senior figures in the Labour party now privately talking about a “change of era” in which more moderate voters are turning to Nigel Farage’s party, new research on Reform’s influence suggests it will take far more seats from Labour than from the Conservatives on current trends.
Reform would win 76 seats if an election were held now, according to a constituency-by-constituency model. Of those, 60 would be won from Labour, including seats across the “red wall”, as well as in Wales and across the south of England.
However, the analysis also reveals that even a relatively small further swing towards Reform from Labour could see the party pick up another 76 Labour-held seats.
The narrow Labour lead in many seats means it is susceptible in the event of a high turnout among Reform voters, a surge in Reform’s support, or a drop in Labour turnout.
The huge study, commissioned by the Hope Not Hate campaign group, has been carried out by the Focaldata polling company using a mega-poll, or MRP, made up of almost 18,000 voters.
Its analysis of almost 4,000 voters currently minded to back Reform found that one in five were “moderate, interventionist” voters who were unlike those who had backed Farage at the last election or supported Ukip or the Brexit party in the past.“
[The Observer/Guardian]
So there it is. Reform could end up with 152 seats even on present polling and trending.
As frequently noted, Reform is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination, but this news, overall, is very good.

“I spent the weekend in an act of ‘wild service’ helping to restore nature & maybe helping to heal some if the urban/rural divide.
In an event organised by @StEthelburgas &@letterstoearth_, a group of urbanites came together in the glorious welsh countryside to plant hedges & trees.
The method of planting 100’s of metres of hedges to connect up existing habitats (copses, ponds, areas of scrub etc) cleverly balanced allowing the land to be used for farming whilst giving more connected space for Nature.
The thing I wasn’t expecting though was crossing cultural divides. Witnessing some of the farmers on twitter & in the media who repeat culture war bait about hating both Nature & urbanites in the countryside had coloured my impression of farmers more generally.

“Charles Edward Coughlin (/ˈkɒɡlɪn/KOG-lin; October 25, 1891 – October 27, 1979), commonly known as Father Coughlin, was a Canadian–American Catholic priest based in the United States near Detroit. He was the founding priest of the National Shrine of the Little Flower. Dubbed “The Radio Priest ” and considered a leading demagogue,[1] he was one of the first political leaders to use radio to reach a mass audience. During the 1930s, when the U.S. population was about 120 million, an estimated 30 million listeners tuned in to his weekly broadcasts.[2]
Coughlin was born in Ontario to working-class Irish Catholic parents. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1916, and in 1923 he was assigned to the National Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, Michigan. Coughlin began broadcasting his sermons during a time of increasing anti-Catholic sentiment across the globe. As his broadcasts became more political, he became increasingly popular.[3]
Initially, Coughlin was a vocal supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal; he later fell out with Roosevelt, accusing him of being too friendly to bankers. In 1934, he established a political organization called the National Union for Social Justice. Its platform called for monetary reforms, nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of labour rights. The membership ran into the millions but was not well organized locally.[4]
After making attacks on Jewish bankers, Coughlin began to use his radio program Golden Hour to broadcast antisemitic commentary. In the late 1930s, he supported some of the policies of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The broadcasts have been described as “a variation of the Fascist agenda applied to American culture”.[5] His chief topics were political and economic rather than religious, using the slogan “Social Justice”.
After the outbreak of World War II in Europe in 1939, the National Association of Broadcasters forced the cancellation of Golden Hour. In 1942, the Archdiocese of Detroit forced Coughlin to close his newspaper Social Justice and forbade its distribution by mail. Coughlin vanished from the public arena, working as a parish pastor until retiring in 1966. He died in 1979 at age 88.[6][7][8]“

It seems that Father Coughlin’s views were a more politicized, and more American (though he was born and brought up in Ontario), equivalent of those espoused by those of the great G.K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc, and others of a Roman Catholic or an Anglo-Catholic ideological background prior to the Second World War.
Leaving aside the rights and wrongs, “IQ” can only take you so far. My own IQ was once measured (40 years ago) at 156, easily within the top 1% of the population, yet I have not taken over leadership of the world and, at age 68, time is running out, at least in my present incarnation.
Looking at most politicians, commentators, business leaders etc in our society, intellectual mediocrity is more likely to lead to “success” than a stellar IQ.
Interestingly, it is claimed that Marilyn Monroe had an IQ equivalent to that of Einstein, which must make one question the basis for IQ’s societal prominence. We are only at the early stages of understanding what makes the brain, the human personality, and society, work.
“When Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine three years ago, Viktor* was ready to die for his country. He volunteered to defend Kyiv as enemy tanks appeared and joined Ukraine’s armed forces. In the spring of 2023 he was fighting in the village of Tonenke, near the eastern city of Avdiivka. “When I arrived I was super-motivated. If necessary I would give my life,” he recalled.
Gradually, however, he became disillusioned. The battle was furious. “The Russians would smash our positions to the ground,” he said. Senior Ukrainian commanders gave unrealistic orders. Then, while he was defending a ruined building, a panel fell on his shoulder. After receiving injections to reduce the pain, he was told to return to the front. “I realised I’m nobody. Just a number,” he said.
In May that same year, Viktor left his position to seek further medical treatment. He did not come back. His commander marked him down as awol. Viktor is one of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers who have abandoned their units. The exact figure is a military secret, but officials concede the number is large.
The issue of desertion has made headlines in Ukraine. Last week the government launched an investigation into the 155th Mechanised Brigade. Fifty-six soldiers disappeared while training in France. Hundreds of others are said to be missing.
After three years of war, Ukraine is desperately short of soldiers, especially infantry. This has made it easier for Russia’s army to advance in the east. There are structural issues too. New brigades have been built from scratch. They performed poorly.”

Russia is winning, slowly. The Kiev regime may collapse later this year. There may be a general advance of Russian forces later in 2025.
'The economic case for mass immigration is falling apart!'@GoodwinMJ cites stats that demosntrate how 'insane' Britain's immigration policy has become. pic.twitter.com/ZW0p6mlZPn
Discussion on GB News TV about why both “Labour” and “Boris”-idiot’s “Conservative” government have encouraged migration-invasion. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan is the reason. It is a conspiracy, not a mere conspiracy theory...
UK demographics
“White British births have fallen to a record low! New figures have revealed that White British births now make-up just 55.6 per cent of all live births in England and Wales. But at the same time, the British population is skyrocketing, with the latest reports published in the press predicting that our population will surpass 72.5 million by 2032!
The meteoric rise in population is largely being driven by mass immigration. Both legal and illegal migration into Britain are now at an all-time high and the last up-to-date figures we released show that net migration has reached over 900,000 per year. This is shocking in itself, as that is more people than live in the city of Manchester!“

So…I am supposed to feel sorry for the likes of Waitrose and Marks & Spencer, who sack as many employees as they can (replaced by machines, self-service etc) and make annual profits in the hundreds of millions? Small shopkeepers are a different matter, though.
The issue is complex, but a good deal of it is the near-destruction of the working-age State benefit system since 2010, or maybe even 1997.

Electoral Calculus suggests that that, at a general election, might produce a Commons with 212 Reform UK seats, 196 Labour, 106 Conservative, 72 LibDem, and 7 Green (etc). So a Reform minority government.
Reform UK is part of the journey, not the final destination, of course. A useful bridge, if you like.
200+ Reform UK MPs would change the whole atmosphere at Westminster. For example, they could demand proportional representation and then, if the System parties block that, appeal over their heads to the British people via a second general election that might see Con and Lab even further diminished.
I feel, listening to what many people I hear in the course of everyday activity, that the British people have pretty much had enough of migration invasion, attacks on free speech, and enough of the still-encroaching police-state dystopia under the present Labour Friends of Israel cabal (and its “Conservative” predecessors).
Another big factor is the “nothing works properly any more” feeling, which is based on fact— things don’t work properly any more (a situation which, with the increasingly racially-mixed population, can only worsen).

Since Goodwin tweeted that, Yvette Cooper, the Labour Friends of Israel member and expenses fraudster presently posing as Home Secretary, has said that she intends to keep the focus on both Islamists and the “far right”, i.e. blogs such as this.
The Home Office, like much of the existing administrative system, indeed much of society in the UK, is riddled with traitors, enemies of the people.
I once predicted this to a friend who had been offered a safe seat under Blair (but had refused, having thought that being an MP would diminish his income— he had no idea how much the MPs were ripping off via expenses etc).
He answered me by agreeing that it would have been better had mass immigration never happened, but “we are where we are” (i.e. we could do nothing now about it).
That conversation took place about 25 years ago, in fact longer yet, about 28 years ago!
Think how many millions of invaders have arrived (legally, illegally, and via both actual immigration and via births to non-Europeans) since then…

I recall Dr. Fields as having been dressed in a white or cream suit (and possibly hat as well, I do not remember; I think so), and with a large flag on a stick sticking out of his lapel pocket. I cannot now quite remember whether the flag was the Stars and Stripes or the Confederate flag.
Remarkably, Fields is still around, according to Wikipedia, and aged 92; he looked at least in late middle-age when I met him in the mid-1970s, but must in fact have been only about 45.

“Southport will consume everyone today but 12 yo Leo, murdered 2 days ago in cold blood returning from school – only a short walk home – adored by all and described by his Head as funny & sweet will fall back. I took my son to school and back without fail at that age, I could not let go of him.“
While understandable anxiety from a mother, and in a London which is now somewhere between a jungle and a zoo (I believe that she lives in West Kensington), 12-year-old boys surely do not need their mothers to escort them everywhere.
I was 12 in September 1968. My family was then living in Sydney, N.S.W. I would occasionally travel into the city centre (now, but not then, called the “CBD” or Central Business District), taking the ferry across Sydney Harbour from Cremorne Point to Circular Quay, a 3-mile trip. I even did it when aged only 11. I would then wander around Sydney’s central area, going wherever the mood took me.
I can remember going into a bookshop (I bought a book on Arabic, for no good reason), the offices of the Swiss Bank Corporation, and the very lively Stock Exchange (mining stocks were booming at the time, and the part of the trading floor dealing with them was frenetic, seen by me though the glass window of the public gallery).
[1966 photo of the ferry in Mosman Bay near Cremorne Point. My family lived in Mosman in 1967, then moved about a quarter-mile to the next suburb, Cremorne]
Cremorne Point wharf before the First World War, a view which was still somewhat recognizable (at least the general situation and the ferry pontoon) when I used it a few times in 1967-69. You could see little sharks swimming in the water, and the pontoon swayed as the ferry came in]
[in some more recent year; in 1967, the pontoon wharf was not covered or glassed-in]
Reverting to my main point, when I was only just 13 (by about 2 weeks), and on my family’s return trip by sea to the UK (we had arrived by air), my parents let me walk around alone on the various stops the liner Oriana made en voyage, including Acapulco (at that time not the large and crime-ridden city it now is, admittedly) and Miami (which involved my taking, entirely alone, both a local bus in Port Everglades and then a Greyhound bus to central Miami, and the same in reverse; the ship was scheduled to depart that same evening!).
I have to admit that, if I had a boy of 12-13, I would probably not give him quite that amount of latitude. I think that my main point is still valid. At some point, children (especially boys) have to be given the chance to look after themselves by wandering around etc.
Stray reminiscence
The above recollections sparked another reminiscence of my few years of Australian childhood (aged 10-13).
My parents always had a range of friends, and in Sydney one of those (met via my Anglo-Australian uncle, a business executive) was a barrister called Johnny Szabo, of Hungarian origin. I believe that he and his brother had taken the opportunity to leave socialist Hungary in or following the Uprising of 1956. Before that, Szabo had fought as a tank commander in the Second World War, alongside German forces.
As I understand, the Szabo brothers at first operated a repair garage or body shop in Sydney but, by the mid-1960s, Johnny Szabo was a prominent barrister who, I think I was told, took silk (was appointed QC). I do not really remember him except by name and story, though. I vaguely recall having met him once or twice. I imagine that he must have been born around 1920, so would now be long gone.

How can we have a £22 Billion black hole, but at the same time promise £3 Billion a year to the Ukraine for the next 100 years???
Let us say, for the sake of argument, that the aforesaid untermensch had not killed anyone. Would there, even then, be any reason for the British people to tolerate his presence, that of his family and clan or, for that matter, others, being in the UK, or in any part of Europe? I say not.
The only reasonable agreement will be for the Kiev regime to withdraw its capital to Lvov, though with authority over all Ukrainian territory west of the Dnieper except for the cities of Kiev and Odessa, which should be declared free cities, or having condominium status. Russia to rule all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper and also a corridor of land along the Black Sea coast, both east and west of Odessa.
That will turn South Africa, at long last, into the usual African-ruled “basket case”, of course. The dwindling white minority has kept South Africa at least semi-civilized since that idiot Mandela took over in the early 1990s, but whites have been emigrating in very large numbers since then. Eventually, perhaps not long in the future, the chaos and misrule, in some cases amounting to savagery, seen in most of black Africa will engulf South Africa. Once European/white rule ended, that was always going to be the endgame.

In my own mind, knowing two or three people, previously healthy, who (having been multiply-“vaccinated” by the anti-“Covid” poison) have had to endure heart bypasses etc, I have no doubt that the sane thing to do is to avoid being dosed with this pharmaceutical effluent. I avoided the supposed “vaccines” and am very glad I did.
Doubt that I now count as anything other than one of the “newly-poor”, really; I used to use Waitrose often, about 4x a week, but over the past 15 years, especially the last 5 years, the quality of produce has worsened (much worse than Tesco, or even Lidl) and the once-stellar service from always-pleasant staff of all ages has deteriorated to the point of no return. I therefore rarely use Waitrose now.
My local area has a Marks & Spencer food store, and there is a Tesco 5 miles away, a Lidl and Aldi about the same distance. I like Lidl for its foreign products’ weeks, mainly, when they sell such as Polish sour-cherry juice, Greek feta etc.
As for free coffee, when you have to take your own cup in, the offer becomes much less attractive.
Ha ha! Ridiculous System talking head blames online retailer for selling a knife used by a non-white crazie to attack a child. That is so typical of Britain today.
In the past, if a shop sold a knife, or even a firearm, later used by some criminal or lunatic to hurt or kill some one else, the criminal or lunatic was blamed, not the retailer!
The James O’Brien type (a type found not only in the msm, but also among the more self-deluding part of the public) is desperate not to blame the influx of backward populations, aka “the diversity”, for crimes of that type. Oh, no, it must be the fault of those selling knives!
I wanted to buy a knife (for more usual purposes) recently, in Tesco (I think it was). Sorry, we no longer sell knives…
When will this madness end? When “the diversity” are chucked out, I suppose, and not until then.
Actually, I do not blame only the criminal or lunatic— I blame also those responsible for importing backward populations into Europe, including the UK.
