A favourite TV show when I was about 7 years old.

Saturday quiz

Well, a modest 4/10 this week, though still more than John Rentoul’s 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 4, 5, 8, and 9. Rather hit the post, as people say, on question 1. Had never heard of it, and guessed —wrongly— Red Leicester.

Is Britain heading for civil war? Is Europe?

[“NEW POST. “Why should I fight for Britain? Anonymous Zoomer on how our hapless political elites have created a two-tier society, plagued by mass immigration and broken borders, which hates young men like him.”— Matt Goodwin]

It is not even a question of young men (and, in these days, in theory, women) “fighting for Britain“. More accurately, fighting for the New World Order (NWO) and Zionist Occupation Government (ZOG) cabals. Not for Britain. Not the British people. Not the future of the British people.

[“A woman from Ghana has won the right to remain in the UK after organising a proxy marriage to an EU national, in Ghana, 12 days before the Brexit deadline. Neither she nor her “husband” attended the wedding.“]

As Katie Hopkins puts it, “Batshit Bonkers Britain“…

Increasingly, I can agree with the idea of England, or England & Wales, becoming a separate republic. Let those north of Hadrian’s Wall, and those across the Irish Sea, go their own way (without the subsidy from England), particularly as many of the Scots seem, in their delusion, to not only be willing to accept migration-invasion by blacks and browns but even (ludicrously) to welcome it! I certainly see little or no serious Scottish opposition to the invasion, even at the low level of opposition so far seen on the streets of England.

[“I’m hearing language like ‘we have to be prepared for a b******’, that’s Donald Trump, ‘to do mad things’”. @Nicholaswatt says there’s concern among both Labour and Conservative MPs over the US President’s approach to Ukraine and global diplomacy. #Newsnight“].

Ha ha. For decades, certainly since Blair became Prime Minister in 1997, the UK has been the poodle of the ZOG/NWO American governments. Now, suddenly, the USA is going its own way, in a direction NWO/ZOG, at least in Europe, does not like. Suddenly, Europe, both EU and UK etc, finds itself almost powerless, and squashed (as was mainland Europe in 1945) between the (?) all-powerful USA and a somewhat powerful Russia.

I should like Europe to find its own way forward in a social-national way, independent of both USA and Russia (but closer to the latter) but, at present, Europe is under ZOG control— pro-Jewish Lobby, pro-Israel, pro the Jew-Zionist regime in “Ukraine”. The present European power structures have to be taken down before a better Europe (call it “Christendom” or “Grail Europe” if you like) can arise.

Funny-looking creature, that Rennie journalist. Had not previously heard of him. Turns out that his father was the Rennie who was the Chief of SIS/MI6 from 1967-1973: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Rennie_(columnist); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rennie_(MI6_officer).

Rennie senior’s other, and elder, son was arrested, charged, prosecuted and (presumably; nothing online about it) convicted of a large-scale heroin importation conspiracy in 1973: https://time.com/archive/6840716/britain-cs-busted-cover/.

Charles Tatham Ogilvy Rennie was later adjudged bankrupt (discharged in 1978).

As for the Economist, one of the most important “house journals” of the New World Order conspiracy (despite the fact that the Economist is usually wrong in its predictions, a fact that I started to notice as early as the 1980s).

Further to above:

Only in rare instances have the links between the Hong Kong opium firms, British intelligence, and the Chinese Communist Intelligence Service come to public light. Where they have, the results put the best pulp thrillers to shame. One illustration is the story of the luckless Rennie family, Scots traders who sold their operation to Jardine Matheson in 1975. The Rennies are old Africa and Asia hands both in merchant ventures and the British colonial service, with major operations in South Africa, through Rennies Consolidated Holdings Ltd. (7).”

Annoying

I have mentioned this before, though long ago, on the blog. There is a tweeter with the same or similar name to me, and who tweets as “@IanMillard100”. I understand that he is an IT specialist resident in Bath.

It is of course not his fault that he has the same name as me and that he tweets (I myself have not tweeted since expelled from Twitter in 2018), but I find it slightly irritating, simply because some people may think that he is me and that his tweets are from me. He occasionally replies to tweets from Elon Musk etc.

Anyway, if any readers were wondering whether “@IanMillard100” is me, he is not me. Over and out.

The USA under Trump is not going to back up the UK and EU states if they get into a shooting war with Russia.

Indeed, the belligerent calls from Brussels, Berlin, Warsaw, Paris, and London for fast rearmament, and especially nuclear weapons increases, are likely to make Russian strategists think that those capitals, and connected nuclear weapons production and launch sites, should be eliminated before such proposed nuclear rearmament takes place…

Goodwin should note that the kind of online and offline censorship seen in the UK is not only, or even primarily, a matter of the State itself censoring, but the State enabling, mainly, the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby to destroy free speech by inciting or demanding State repression, and also by being enabled to bring malicious private prosecutions, the Jewish so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] being the most prominent of the nuisances involved in such abuse of English law.

Victory cannot be proclaimed until tanks roll into Kiev.

I have never seen such an undiplomatic encounter at such a meeting; any “robust exchanges of views” usually take place away from TV cameras and journalists.

It did occur to me that Trump wanted an argument with Zelensky, as a figleaf for not continuing with the supply of arms, ammunition, and money to the doomed Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev. Having said that, Zelensky is the sort of (((you know who))) who can start an argument in an empty room.

Nelson is the kind of “socially liberal”/”economically conservative” fake Conservative that has been in the ascendant for twenty years. Result?

I have covered in recent blog posts the crazed notion referred to and criticized by Goodwin, i.e. that the EU and UK should support “Ukraine” (Kiev regime), supplying whatever arms, ammunition, money (cash in used notes preferred), medical supplies etc that Zelensky and his cabal may demand, and plugging the gap that any withdrawal by the USA may create.

That of course would entail, in the UK, stupid Starmer and “Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves stealing even more from BRITISH pensioners, British young people, British taxpayers generally, and cutting to the bone (to an even greater extent) services such as social security, NHS etc.

Even more significantly, pitting EU/UK Europe against the Russian Federation, militarily, and without even the American nuclear backstop, might mean the nuclear devastation of western and central Europe. For what? The survival of the brutal, shambolic, corrupt, and now actually illegal Zelensky regime? Madness.

That leaves the European powers. The only ones of significance are the UK and France (mainly because of their nuclear weapons), Poland, and Germany (Poland because of the size of its army and its probable morale, Germany because of its large amount of up-to-date transport, armament etc).

The UK and France would be mad to try to threaten the use of or, a fortiori, deploy in combat nuclear weapons. Any nuclear response by Russia would destroy Britain utterly. As for France, the same applies, except that France is nearly 2.5x the size of the UK.

I think that what we are looking at (unless there is a real armistice Russia-Ukraine, which is unlikely) is a continuation of the war, with the UK, France, Germany supplying even more arms, armament, and money to the Kiev regime, but probably failing to plug the gap left by withdrawal of most American assistance.

If the Americans also withdraw their intelligence aid to the Kiev regime, Russian forces will find their progress in the war easier.

News from the migration invasion

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14416593/Irish-migrant-powder-keg-Far-right-militias-rise-asylum-seekers-violence-machete-attacks-drug-brawls-Dublin.html

Ireland has exploded into a wave of violence as anti-migrant anger is at an all time high – after the number of people applying to come into the country rocketed by nearly 300 per cent five years.

Once sleepy towns are now homes to hundreds of asylum seekers while tent cities have been set up along Dublin’s Grand Canal. 

And with far-right sentiment at fever pitch the country is on a knife edge – with even Ireland’s left-wing politicians admitting that the influx of migrants was driving a spike in homelessness.

The government has previously spoken favourably about migration. Jamie Drummond, Co-Founder and Executive Director of NGO ONE and a friend of U2 star Bono, told the International Development Committee in 2015 that young immigrants were needed to help with Ireland’s ‘senile’ aging population.

“Just as this country and this continent will be at its most senile demographically speaking, Africa will be the world’s youth and the supply of the world’s energy, creativity and dynamism.”

[Daily Mail]

The final comment, apparently by a friend of grasping hypocrite “Bono” shows that he (Daily Mail says “she“, for some reason) has little of use to contribute: anyone who imagines that Africa can give white Europe “energy, creativity and dynamism” is either deluded or working to an agenda.

Very sad that Ireland has become so contaminated. I saw it in the 1970s, and again in the mid-1980s. From what I have seen on TV and newspapers, it has become busier and, in recent decades, more affluent in parts than when I was there but also, now, far less pleasant by reason of the migration invasion.

At least the Irish, unlike most of the English, are not going down without a fight.

You can see that process happening in the UK. In fact, it has been a factor for decades, but the huge migration-invasion since, arguably, 1989, is now completely destroying the “democratic rights” of the (real) British people.

Somewhere around 15%-20% of the UK population is now non-white; in England, the proportion is far higher, around 25%, and in the major cities such as London even higher, somewhere around 30% if not more. Some cities in the Midlands and North are already majority non-white.

Even in the UK as a whole, the average non-white presence in primary schools is now somewhere around 40%. As shown, that means that in cities such as London, the primary schools are already about 50% or more non-white.

[In 1951, there were effectively no non-whites in the UK; the few that did exist were in the major ports, including London (graphic from Wikipedia)]

Incidentally, you can see from that graphic what a lie are those TV dramas (eg, Grantchester) which show even small villages in the 1940s or 1950s with racially-mixed populations.

People of my age [b.1956] know the truth, but younger people, especially children, are being brainwashed via the TV, cinema, streaming services, and at school, to believe what amounts to a lying narrative.

By 2050, at latest, the UK population will be majority non-white. Yes, some non-whites will not support later waves of immigration; however, most will, and do.

If Britain does not have, by 2030 or so, a genuinely social-national government, or at very least a Reform UK-type conservative semi-nationalist one, you can forget the “Parliamentary road”.

Fake Labour has no “plan”, except to allow profiteering bodge-housebuilders to make money destroying what is left of our countryside by building hutches for migrant-invaders and their offspring.

Now, the msm has awoken to what dissidents were saying on Twitter/X 6 months or more ago— there is no sufficient workforce to build said hutches.

You see the agenda, though, in that “i paper” bullet-point list: the UK “needs” more migrants to (supposedly) build more houses because…Britain has so many migrants (who are breeding). Brilliant…

Saturday quiz

Well, slightly to my surprise, I defeated political journalist John Rentoul once again this week. Rentoul scored 4/10, but I trumped that, scoring 6/10 (admittedly, was unsure about question 8). I did not know the answers to questions 1, 2, 4, and 5.

Journalistic accuracy

Never accept, without checking, whatever a journalistic scribbler may say. I was just reading a not-uninteresting piece in The Oldie magazine, and about the Metropolitan Police in the 1970s, which article was written in 2023 by Duncan Campbell, a well-known journalist and author who was, arguably, better-known in the 1980s than he now is.

https://www.theoldie.co.uk/blog/partners-in-crime

Duncan Campbell is over 80 now, and married to that striking actress, Julie Christie. Their political views are, I think, quite similar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Campbell_(journalist,_born_1944)

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

Reading Campbell’s nicely-written piece, I notice that he says (in 2023) of the famous or infamous ex-cat burglar, Peter Scott, that “Scott now lives in a council flat in King’s Cross, the proceeds from the odd Vermeer and Sophia Loren’s diamonds long gone.

In fact, Scott died in 2013.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Scott_(thief)

As a matter of fact, I reviewed Scott’s memoirs on Amazon UK many years ago now.

My Amazon book reviews are now unavailable— the usual pack of Jews had me “cancelled” about 15 years ago, around 2010, from reviewing books both on Amazon UK (where I was one of the top book reviewers) and Amazon USA. A Jew formerly resident in the
UK but now living in Ra’anana (a suburb-town in the Tel Aviv area of Israel/Occupied Palestine) was the main instigator.

Scott lived, in his heyday, in the less-prestigious outer part of Maida Vale, whereas I lived at one time in Little Venice (also part of Maida Vale):

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

My (intermittent, from 1976 to 1996) times in Little Venice overlapped with Scott’s time in the area (he used the tiny “gangster pub”, the Windsor Castle, in Lanark Place, a pub at one time supposedly owned by Barbara Windsor, who was tied up with all sorts of gangsters and other criminals).

[The old Windsor Castle pub, in Lanark Place W.9., not to be confused with another and much larger pub with the same name in the outer regions of Maida Vale by Harrow Road; I believe both are now permanently closed, the Little Venice one (above) now trading as a Korean food outlet. Sign of the times…]

I occasionally had a drink there. One morning, waiting for the no.6 bus to take me to the High Court (I was appearing as Counsel), I observed the aftermath of a police raid there; about 3 or 4 police cars blocking Lanark Place. God knows why.

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

I enjoyed Campbell’s Oldie article, even though I already knew most of the facts noted in it.

Always check the accuracy of anything that anyone in and of the msm says.

A flying boat capable of going nearly 6,000 miles without refuelling, at a cruising speed of 360 mph; maximum speed 380 mph.

The 105 passengers were carried in First and Tourist cabins.

As with the 1930s German airships, the Empire flying boats made in the UK were in some respects superior to the flying machines of today. As Francis Bacon observed, just because a thing is superseded by another thing does not mean that the latter is superior.

“Boris Johnson is no threat. He is the architect of all the decline & chaos you see around you today, all the mass uncontrolled immigration. If an architect destroyed your home you would never invite him back.”

[Matt Goodwin]

The only “threat” is that a huge number of dummies have still, after everything, not yet awoken to the utter uselessness of “Boris” Johnson.

I think that I can claim to have been one of the first not personally acquainted with Johnson to have realized that he was not only unfit morally to be MP, minister, and then Prime Minister, but actually intellectually incapable of doing any of those jobs.

I expressed my views first on Amazon book reviews from about 2002 (but was “cancelled” by Jewish lobby pressure sometime around 2010 or 2011); then on Twitter from 2010 until Jews again brought pressure on Twitter to “cancel” me (in 2018). Also, on the blog from 2017 to present.

Having said that, there are still a huge number of idiots, mainly Conservative Party members and voters, still willing to support “Boris”, so it is not inconceivable that he could return to Parliament, get Carpetbagger Kemi binned, then take over the “Conservative” Party again. I doubt, though, that that would propel the Cons to victory over Lab; it might save some existing Con Party seats, however.

If the Cons were set to lose about 80 seats, the loss might be reduced by half. Most of Reform’s likely victories henceforth, though, will be in seats presently held by Labour, not by the Con Party.

To guess at likely election results 4 years ahead of time is to go where the angels fear to tread, of course, but why should I stop now?!

To my mind, assuming we avoid nuclear war etc, the result of the next UK general election will be something like Reform UK 30%, Labour 25%, Con 18%, LibDems maybe 12%, Greens maybe 8%.

That would in turn result in Reform UK having 319 Commons seats (Lab 157, LibDem 60, Con 50, Greens 4 etc).

A Reform UK on the brink of an overall majority, but look at the Con Party! 50 seats, and only 4th placed behind Reform, Labour, and the LibDems. Terminal.

Unfortunately, I cannot see much chance, as yet, for a genuinely social-national party to emerge. The rise of Reform has taken the wind out of those sails. Still, all roads lead to Rome…

Aristotle, apparently, called the octopus “a stupid creature“. Aristotle was wrong. It seems that he said that because an octopus will approach a man’s hand in water. We now know that that is because the octopus wants to be friendly, and is sometimes willing to take the risk that the man may not be. Aristotle can now be both understood and corrected.

That would result in Reform UK having 189 MPs (Lab 181, Con 162, LibDem 58, Greens 4). A hung Parliament requiring a Reform-Con agreement of some kind.

The forces of the Russian Federation are now advancing daily in all sectors of the front.

Talking point

Zelensky is a dictator, or at least the figurehead of a dictatorship. That is a fact. Elections “delayed” and not expected to be held for years, if ever. Dissidents arrested, with some imprisoned, some even shot. Trade unions banned. Opposition parties, opposed to the war, or favourable to negotiation with Russia, banned. Military recruits simply seized off the streets and brutally pressganged.

That’s before you even start with the pervasive corruption, which is worse the higher you get in the Ukrainian fake state. Every kind of international gangsterism and moneylaundering is there.

Zelensky and his cabal is now sidelined as a near-irrelevance. Why? Because the Kiev regime is not a real player in the war. Stop the arms and ammunition (and vast amounts of US, EU, and UK taxpayer monies) going to the Kiev regime, and the war will stop within weeks. The war juggernaut cannot run without that fuel.

There are only two real players in the war, Russia and the USA, and now, thank God, they are both interested seriously in a negotiated peace, or at least a negotiated armistice.

The EU states and the UK are not serious players because the amount of arms, ammunition, and money they are wasting on the Kiev regime is less than half of the total spend. If the USA stops funding the Kiev regime but the EU and UK continue, the war will continue for a while until, before very long, Russian forces prevail and the Zelensky dictatorship collapses (in 2025 or 2026).

Ukraine is not a proper state, and was not even when it was established, in the 1990s. I have heard tales of corruption and degeneracy that would make your hair stand up on end. Now, even basic State functions are only carried out because of the Western money being funneled to the regime.

Trump may not be a particularly likeable man or leader, but I seriously think that, to put it in traditional terms, “God is on his side” in trying to close down this terrible war; in other respects as well.

Russia has been partly to blame. I blame the leadership (from high to low) of the Russian Army, air force, SVR, and also the political leadership, for not having conducted a swift and unstoppable coup de main and coup d’etat in early 2022.

I have written about this previously on the blog. Something akin to the way in which the Afghan government was removed in 1979.

Swift. Relentless. Remorseless.

Had that been done, civilian casualties and environmental damage would have been minimal. The whole thing would have been over in a few days.

Going from the sublime to the ridiculous, the minor would-be players, such as Starmer, and (if the idiot is worth even mentioning) David Lammy, are just making themselves look ridiculous. They talk about “British boots on the ground in Ukraine“, when only between 5,000 and (at very most) 10,000 troops could be sent, and they would be irrelevant in such a situation, quite apart from quite likely sparking a major Russia-NATO war.

Little lawyer Starmer is out of his depth. He should leave Ukraine alone and start to do something (if he even wants to, and if he is capable of doing anything useful) about the invasion of Britain by blacks and browns.

Late tweets

As said, Zelensky can be regarded as a dictator or, perhaps more accurately, the figurehead of a dictatorial cabal of thieves, those thieves posing as a legitimate government.

Late thoughts about Ukraine, NATO etc

People in the Western msm, and System politics, are now waking up to what I have been presuming for some time, namely that, if a European NATO state calls upon the “mutual aid” Article 5 of the NATO treaty, regarding a situation arising from the Ukraine situation, and if that state wants other NATO states to weigh in against Russia, the USA (all the more so now Trump is President) might well say “no” in respect of US forces, or nuclear weapons, getting involved.

NATO has outlived its usefulness.

The idea that Russia wants to occupy central and western Europe, or even most of eastern Europe (Poland, the Baltic states), is ridiculous anyway. Those EU states and others throwing money at the Zelensky “government” in Kiev are a joke. Wasting money which should be going to improve the lives of their own citizens, whose taxes are being stolen, in effect.

Britain should be ready to normalize relations with Russia now. In fact, that is the only way that Brexit can work properly. We can form a mutually-beneficial trading and strategic connection with Russia. The rest of Europe (within or without the EU) should do the same.

The more I think about it, the less I believe that any but a few will vote for the Con Party, especially now that it is headed by a Nigerian carpetbagger. Kemi Badenoch, “Carpetbagger Kemi”.

Most people, even after decades of brainwashing in schools, the msm etc, still want the UK Prime Minister to be properly British, i.e. white Northern European.

Seems that the “Conservatives” learned nothing from having been ruled by the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

Also, where do “Conservative” policies markedly differ from those of Starmer-Labour?

In any case, Britain, Europe, needs quality, not quantity.

I had not seen anything from that grifting loonie for a couple of years, as far as I can remember. She tweeted, earlier today, that anyone in the UK who did not (her word) “hate” Elon Musk had an IQ below room temperature. Well, while I myself do not agree with everything Musk says or does, I probably agree more than disagree, and my IQ was once (admittedly 40 years ago) measured at 156— I think that it probably stacks up well enough even today against that of grifting political idiot “Supertanskiii” (though one can almost admire someone who has made a living for years doing little but swearing online at “the Tories“, albeit that she has also been able to get State monies via the benefits system).

I have not heard so much from that kind of online pseudo-political “grifter” recently.

Fraudulent fake “cook”, “Jack Monroe”, has been comprehensively exposed and become obscure (I doubt that her rubbish ever appears in newspapers or major magazines any more); that Jewish fraud from Essex calling himself “Man Behaving Dadly”, Simon-something (Harris?), has apparently disappeared too, he having conned naive Essex County Council out of over £600,000.

Others have also seen their brief time of influence ebb away, such as non-practising medical doctor and facemask purveyor, Julia Grace Patterson. That one has now, it seems, almost given up trying to make money out of online “grifting”, and has not tweeted since November 2024, though she remains on the pathetic “Blue Sky” site, and has most recently (late 2024) been flogging Christmas cards online (while still pretending to be an active NHS doctor and health “activist”).

As I predicted a year ago, those sort of pseudo-political fake “activists” have found that their modus operandi of pretending to be tribunes of the people against the (admittedly) wicked “Tories” cuts little ice now that the said “Tories” have been replaced by a fake “Labour” government as bad as, or worse than, the “Conservatives” they replaced.

The British Tory party’s ‘realignment’, in 2019, was based on having 75% of Brexit/culturally conservative voters. Today? They only have 29%. This is what matters when you ignore your own voters. The Tories are dying –as I said they would.”

[Matt Goodwin]

The tipping point may have been reached for Reform UK, and also for the once-great Conservative Party. Only time will tell. It is natural for people to assume that large political organizations, states, religions etc go on for ever. Not so.

Having seen a bit of what happened in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when socialism died across Europe and elsewhere, I know that large structures can indeed collapse rather unexpectedly, albeit after long periods of slow preparatory weakness.

When you look at who votes or intends to vote Conservative now, you are really looking, mainly looking, at retired people or people close to retirement.

People who have seen Britain, certainly British cities and towns, turn from being white (i.e. British) to being largely black and brown (etc).

People who have seen large social and economic enterprises (water supply, railways, telephone system, bus network, Royal Mail etc), whatever faults they had, become often unresponsive and failing private-profit bodies.

People who have seen the great institutions of the State fail, and continue to fail, badly— police, courts, judges, legal system, prisons, NHS, border control, immigration control, Army, Navy, Air Force. Civil Service. Royal Family too. All useless, or rapidly becoming so.

What is the rotting head of that failure? The political system, Parliament, MPs, and the now-ludicrous House of Lords.

So when those people go to vote, how will they vote, those disenchanted, angry, let-down people, especially those aged 50+? Not for Labour, which (as I said on the blog for years) has become mainly the party of the “blacks and browns” and in general those dependent on the State for money and/or employment. Only the naive and fairly comfortably-off, in certain places, vote LibDem.

Conservative MPs mismanaged the UK for 14 years 2010-2025. Huge immigration, including the continuing “small boats” invasion. NHS failures. The “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic. Much else besides.

The only reason many older people stuck with the Conservative Party was the State Pension “triple lock”. Then the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, reneged on that (for one year), though he reinstated it the following year. I think that that badly damaged trust.

In my judgment, things are now so bad in the UK and, importantly, seen to be getting worse, and rapidly, that many are willing to leave their old habits and loyalties behind, and to vote Reform. By no means only former Con Party voters. Labour ones too. Look at the case of Lee Anderson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Anderson_(British_politician).

So who is really going to vote “Conservative” in 2028 or 2029? I should say mainly those who are old or very old, who are set in their ways and in their habitual loyalties and, of those, who are fairly comfortably-off in their retirement, and whose local areas have not (yet) been badly-affected by migration-invasion etc.

I do not think that msm commentators have quite factored-in the significance of the Con Party now having a non-white leader. Yes, not the first one, but then look at Sunak’s electoral meltdown.

I would have put that middle-aged/elderly Con-voting group, and or with others willing to vote Con, as adding up to somewhere around 20% of the voting population (General Election 2024— 23.7%) but now I am inclined to think that, by 2028/2029, it may be as low as 15%. On that basis, the Conservative Party may be at the end of the line.

Using Electoral Calculus, and with Con 15%, Labour 25%, LibDem 15%, Greens 10%, and Reform UK 30% (its likely maximum), that would result in a House of Commons with 330 Reform MPs, 163 Lab, 72 LibDem, 20 Con, 4 Green (etc). Reform Commons majority.

Were Reform to get a lesser vote (25%), the result would change to Reform 220, Lab 208, LibDem 76, Con 49 (etc). Still no comfort for the Con Party; only fourth party in Commons.

The Conservatives would have to get 20% overall even to stay where they now are (121 seats). I doubt they will do it.

That tweeter is the ex-wife of an MP removed last year by the voters. For over three decades, she herself worked for him at Westminster, generously paid out of his Parliamentary expenses. She seems to be pro-immigration, pro-Israel, and anti-Russian, inter alia. Seems to be rather bitter in several ways. She is also wrong in most of her (evidently strongly-held) political judgments.

Certainly, so far as the Ukraine situation is concerned, Russia will not accept NATO forces there, even if under “peacekeeping” auspices. Anyway, contrary to that tweeter’s assertion, Russia need not accept any such forces. Russia is, slowly, winning, advancing daily in most parts of eastern Ukraine.

The war will conclude once Russia has occupied all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper. Why then would Russia accept “peacekeepers” who would be NATO troops under another label? Not the USA? Not the very weak UK. Not Germany. Once Macron stops trying to grandstand as a latter-day Napoleon, not France, either.

I do agree, overall, with the tweeter mentioned, though, about the CCHQ tweet below:

“Culture” or society does matter, in my view, but very few will look at Kemi Badenoch and think “now that’s the kind of person who should be Prime Minister“…

As mentioned on the blog earlier today, I can see the Conservative Party ending up with 10, 20, 30 MPs a few years down the line.

Senator van Hollen obviously has no idea how Roosevelt ripped off the British Empire in various ways, not least by turning the Caribbean, at the time (pre-1941) pretty much a British lake, into what it later became and still is, basically an American sphere of influence, albeit nominally in co-operation with the UK.

The USA also took over, steadily, but after WW2, much of British industry and commerce internationally.

Interesting. That is not the old Soviet Embassy in Washington. They must have moved at some point since 1991.
