For once, Sunak, the little Indian money-juggler, is telling the literal truth. Britain is a train about to hit the buffers at high speed. How much longer can a country absorb a million unwanted and mostly useless (at best) immigrants every single year? Forget the brainless Rwanda “plan”— that will only affect, at most, 1% of immigrants (about 10,000 a year), even if not cancelled by Starmer-Labour.
The big picture is that Britain has been condemned to decline by its own secret cabals and ruling circles. This did not start today, or yesterday, or last year; it has been in train for decades, and certainly since 1989. Those secret ruling circles are running down Europe, including the UK, and trying to build up China and the other Pacific Rim countries, and North America.
In their (Coudenhove-Kalergi) plan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan, Europe is set to decline, and to become mixed-race (white/black/brown), and ruled mainly by Jewish or (quite often) part-Jewish (and always pro-Israel) persons— examples include Rothschilds, “Boris” Johnson, Theresa May, David Cameron-Levita, Gideon “George” Osborne, Zac Goldsmith etc, to give a few examples only).
The public of the UK has been and is being conditioned to accept gradually declining standards in all areas, from legislative probity to administrative efficiency to road repair, to educational levels, to public order and policing. Pay. Living standards. State benefits. Pensions. All areas.
Also, being conditioned to accept absurd and arbitrary “policies”, “laws”, regulations” etc, as tried out during the Covid “panicdemic”/”scamdemic: stupid “rules” such as “social distancing”, “the Rule of Six”, the “stay at home” mandates and “lockdown” mandates; the fake and harmful “vaccines”. Etc.

Bonkers that the leader of a government that has imported literally millions of foreign citizens in a couple of years is pretending that our primary threats come from far away. Project Fear is the last refuge of the charlatan.
Time is running out for Sunak. People may not like or even trust Starmer and Labour, but Sunak and the misnamed “Conservatives” have used up all their credit with the public. To change metaphors, this government or, better, misgovernment is running on empty.
Here we are in mid-May 2024, and the latest a general election can be held is in January 2015, meaning that it has to be called by some date in December 2024, so 7 months at most.
Sunak is, at this point, not trying to “win” the next general election, just trying to mitigate the damage. If he is left with even, say, 150 MPs, rather than 100, or 50, or 30, he will be satisfied. The most recent polls have indicated a Conservative Party cadre in the Commons of as few as 13, incredibly.
The ruling cabals behind both main System parties are, for that reason, not too concerned which of those two parties, or facades, “wins” the 2024, or any other, General Election, because those hidden puppetmasters will ensure that the basic direction of travel stays the same in either case.
Look at how both Sunak and Starmer both fell over themselves to support Israel’s Gaza slaughter, in Starmer’s case even saying that it was OK for the Israeli Jews to cut off water and food to the Gazan civilians, most of whom were and are women and children.
If Esther McVey wants to crack down on poor use of taxpayers' money, she might start with the Tory MP for Tatton, who claimed £8750 on expenses for a personal photographer

Interesting. Well worth an hour of anyone’s time.
I liked the comment from a 90-something ex-soldier who said that, looking at Britain in the 21stC, he wishes that Hitler had successfully invaded in 1940 (in fact, there never was a serious plan to invade the UK: Hitler wanted alliance with the British Empire, not to conquer it. “Operation Sealion” [Fall Seelowe] was never more than a contingency plan and/or a smokescreen with which to lull Stalin into a false sense of security prior to Barbarossa).
I also liked the several comments by old soldiers now wishing that they had fought for Hitler.

Starmer’s priorities are: 1. Whatever Israel and the Jewish lobby want; 2. To eliminate any remaining free speech (and refer to previous priority); 3. To destroy what is left of Britain as a real nation, rather than a geographic space filled with globalized economic entities, including humanoid entities (and refer to no.1 above); 4. The self-interest of “Labour” politicians and hangers-on [e.g., most recently, Ayesha Hazarika].

Housing Sec Michael Gove says he cannot look at official figures showing sharp rise in number of homeless children – a record 145,800 – with "anything other than regret" and blames not enough homes being built. But it is poverty that causes homelessness. And govt can solve that.
Typical msm scribbler thinks that “govt” can “solve poverty”. That depends on various other factors. In the case of the UK, you have importation of around a million unwanted immigrants every single year now, a fact which scribbler Paul Lewis ignores. Simply ignores. As if to say “million immigrants a year? Irrelevant. Just build more houses for them” (for these mostly useless parasites). Oh, and give them cash, and medical services, and schools for their offspring (etc).
4 million? Try 12…(and, by 2034, 25M, or more).
I doubt whether scribbler (posing as an economist) Paul Lewis has much real expertise in the economics of a state or a society (about your electricity or gas bill, maybe; I do not know).

As I opined some time ago, there seems to have been professional negligence on the part of Lewis, and that may now apply to Berke as well.
Incidentally, Berke also opines about “antisemitism” being connected to “mental illness”:
Seems that Berke’s knowledge of both “antisemitism” and mental illness is as sketchy as his knowledge of civil procedure seems to be. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/ [updated consistently], in which I examined the incontrovertible links between Jew-Zionism, Jewish “antifascism”, and mental illness.

When will the Daily Mail (etc) cover that story? Never…
Fair enough, but Neil is completely at one with Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby, and the Jewish element has been the driving force behind the attack on freedom of expression throughout the Western world: so-called “race relations” and “anti-hate” laws (designed to shut down socio-political debate), “holocaust” “denial” laws (designed to make aspects of modern history off-limits to both non-Jewish historians and members of the public) etc.

Sunak’s government of clowns really is running on empty.
In 2022 Natalie Elphicke used a debate on P&O sacking 800 workers & replacing them with cheaper foreign workers as an opportunity to attack trade unions.
Natalie Elphicke pretended to stay loyal to her foolish husband while he was on trial for pathetic minor sex crimes, divorced him after he was convicted and imprisoned, and arranged to replace him as Conservative Party MP for Dover. Now, realizing that the game is up, she defects to Labour! About as trustworthy as any triple agent…
Mick Lynch last year: "If you're coming to the electorate with a message of change, you've got to show that there will be real change. And that's what the country is crying out for"
Having said that, Natalie Elphicke is unarguably right about Sunak’s bad joke government. The very roads are like something out of the Ukraine now— potholed, rutted, unrepaired or, at best, poorly-patched.
I started to comment on the blog years ago about how, not overnight but over 10-15 or more years (even pre-dating “Conservative” governments post-2010) “nothing works in Britain these days”. The newspapers started to say the same a couple of years ago. Now, hardly anyone would argue about it.
It will be interesting to see whether Natalie Elphicke, if not adopted as Labour candidate for the Dover constituency, stands as Independent. It might be tight between Con and Lab anyway, but with Reform UK in the mix (and very likely to do well), and Natalie Elphicke potentially standing as Independent, it could be a very close contest indeed. She might even win.
Come to think of it, Natalie Elphicke might have done better to have defected to Reform UK, which would probably have made her its Dover candidate, and with a reasonable shot at winning in a three-way split.

[Kensington Roof Gardens, London, which date back to the 1930s]
London has large areas of unused roof space which could be turned into green space; not necessarily all open to the public, but still a haven for birds and a recreational resource for individual people, families, employee groups etc.
I had such ideas back in the mid/late 1970s, when I happened to see some of the views from the roof areas of tall buildings: a couple of the then-tall buildings of the City of London (now dwarfed by the new high buildings, of course), the British Gas building at Marble Arch etc; both during the daytime and at night.
Since those times, others with similar ideas but more resources have actually been able to make a few projects a reality. There remains huge scope.

As I predicted on the blog recently. Not only are even the maximum numbers, as planned, pathetic compared to the numbers actually entering the UK (even “illegally”) but there is no guarantee that Rwanda government policy will not change, or the government be replaced by one unwilling to continue the agreement.
In any case, once Labour replaces the Conservative Party as UK Government, sometime within the next 8 months, the Rwanda idea will end up where it always was going to end up— in the dustbin.

Where Goodwin goes wrong is in assuming that the Rwanda “plan” is workable, whereas, even if, on its premises, it were to work perfectly, and so be the means of deporting all “illegal” migrant-invaders, it would not touch those “processed” and then allowed to stay, and they are the vast majority of the illegals processed at present.
Neither would the Rwanda plan touch the “legal” immigrants (and they are 20x the number of the “illegals”), meaning that the net result of the Rwanda “plan”, even if it were to work perfectly, would be that about 1% of all immigrants arriving at present might be deported.
The puzzle is, not so much that the Rwanda “plan” is being pushed by the present doomed government party, but that Matt Goodwin is also pushing it, and Farage, and Reform UK. Some kind of “controlled opposition” scam, yet again, as seen with both UKIP and Brexit Party, the idea being to forestall any real potential social-national upsurge.

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last. Date: 2010-09-27, 1:43 am. E.S.T.
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend’s purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I’d like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn’t expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. my girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan ..
She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head … isn’t it?!
I know it probably wasn’t fun walking back to wherever you’d come from with crap in your pants. I’m sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].
After I called your mother or “Momma” as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you’d done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, — on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go’s, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!] I then threw your wallet into the big pink “pimp mobile” that was parked at the curb ….. after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver’s side of the car.
Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA’s office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target. The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you … but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you’ve chosen to pursue in life.. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!

According to the Jewish woman, Israel cannot be blamed. After all, all it has done is use advanced weaponry such as missiles to destroy the homes of about a million people, and kill tens of thousands, mostly women and children.
Why should Jews in Israel (or those in the UK who support the Gaza “operation”) be blamed for that? Puzzling, nicht wahr?
Naturally, the Palestinian Arab civilians are themselves to blame if Israeli forces have killed or wounded them, and/or destroyed their homes…to say anything else would probably be called “antisemitic“…
MiningWatch Canada is estimating that “[Three] billion tons of mined metals and minerals will be needed to power the energy transition” – a “massive” increase especially for six critical minerals: lithium, graphite, copper, cobalt, nickel and rare earth minerals
Mining requires the extraction of solid ores, often after removing vast amounts of overlying rock. Then the ore must be processed, creating an enormous quantity of waste – about 100 billion tonnes a year, more than any other human-made waste stream.
18,740 pounds of purified rock to produce 2.2 pounds of vanadium 35,275 pounds of ore for 2.2 pounds of cerium 110,230 pounds of rock for 2.2 pounds of gallium 2,645,550 pounds of ore to get 2.2 pounds of lutecium Also staggering amounts of ore are needed for other metals.
The potential demand for rare metals is exponential. We are already consuming over two billion tonnes of metals every year — the equivalent of more than 500 Eiffel Towers a day.
As rare metals have become ubiquitous in green and digital technologies, the exceedingly toxic sludge they produce has been contaminating water, soil, the atmosphere, and the flames of blast furnaces.
I have seen the destruction of mountains, lakes and pristine waterways all in the name of #GreenEnergy. A recent report by the Blacksmith Institute identifies the mining industry as the second-most-polluting industry in the world. Soon to be Number # 1 Why? Green energy.
Wind turbines guzzle more raw materials than previous technologies: ‘For an equivalent installed capacity, solar and wind facilities require up to 15 times more concrete, 90 times more aluminum, and 50 times more iron, copper, and glass than fossil fuels or nuclear energy.
If you’ve gotten this far still believing that renewables are clean and green, well, I have a bridge to sell you. We thought we could free ourselves from the shortages, tensions, and crises created by our appetite for oil and coal.
"There's little mass public enthusiasm for Starmer’s Labour which is often enjoying an upsurge of support because many Brits are staying at home, turning away from politics & hunkering down, no longer believing anybody has the answer to Britain’s problems"https://t.co/SpatdyMnN4

People are totally sick and tired of the “Conservative” Party, and cannot wait to stamp on it. Labour has very little real support, but is preferred by default. The expected near wipeout of the Conservative Party will happen (I believe), but once it has happened, the same problems will confront this country, and Labour, under Jewish/Israel puppet Starmer, has no answers.
At present it looks as though Starmer-Labour will continue to give unbridled support to the Israeli state and the UK Jewish lobby, continue to support the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, and fail to stop the migration-invasion (but will simply rubberstamp “applications” so the invasion does not continue to make the news broadcasts or the front pages of the popular Press).
The expected Labour “elected” dictatorship will also crack down even more on free speech in the UK.

“Kyiv’s indifference to dead soldiers undermines the morale of Ukrainians The number of dead Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers is so great that their remains cannot be identified.
n February, Zelensky announced Ukrainian Armed Forces losses of 31,000 people, but US estimates put the number much higher, with about 70,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed by August last year.
Many of those listed as missing were captured by Russian troops. However, most died and have not yet been identified. This hits the already undermined morale of Ukraine, according to the West.
Discontent among the civilian population is growing. Last October, a major protest took place in Kyiv. Relatives of soldiers demand answers from the authorities. Confirming a death is especially problematic when Ukrainian officials do not have a body, but even when they do, it can be a long and arduous process. DNA testing is patchy. Relatives are trying to get around the bureaucracy. They go from morgue to morgue, sometimes with the help of volunteers, examining bodies and trying to identify them first from photographs and then asking relevant family members for genetic samples. And even if they have proof of death, they face a trial and wait for a decision of two to six months. The authorities are delaying the process. After all, if the fact of death is established, they have to pay the family of the deceased 15 million hryvnia, or about $386,000 in installments, writes the New York Times.“

“HEART specialist waiting lists are up by 75 per cent, according to NHS figures.
Health authorities have admitted that mRNA jabs can cause potentially fatal heart issues, and published post-mortems have recorded heart-related vaccine deaths.
Despite this, not one mainstream news outlet has looked at the role covid vaccinations could have played in the huge increase in heart problems. Instead, our health watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), continues to call vaccine-induced myocarditis and pericarditis ‘rare’, despite admitting a 90 per cent under-reporting rate (it could be as high as 99 per cent), and continues to blame SARS-CoV-2 infection.
This is a disingenuous assessment, according to top US cardiologist and epidemiologist Peter McCullough.”

An important speech which challenges the current global dogma on immigration. In sharing such a video, one cannot avoid being criticized but I share it nonetheless for it makes a powerful case against accepting an unlimited number of migrants into a host country.
I was unaware that Amsterdam is now 56% migrant. That figure does not even include all migrants who arrived over the past 50 years, or their offspring.
Very sad. When I first and briefly visited the Netherlands, aged maybe 8, in 1964 or 1965, there were no migrants, effectively.
When I returned alone, in 1975, aged 18, there were few. Later, on trips in the 1980s, Dutch friends of my family were complaining about the behaviour of the few (I think Turks, or possibly others from Turkey) who had somehow moved to their part of Amsterdam (a relatively-new suburb in or by North Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Noord): thefts of bicycles, littering etc— maybe “petty”, but already slowly changing their decent (and fairly new) neighbourhood into a declining and less pleasant one.
My last visit to the Netherlands, other than using Schiphol airport a number of times, was in the mid-1980s. More recently, I heard from Dutch friends how things had changed, and not for the better. Drugs, crime generally, an immigrant takeover in some parts of the city etc. This all co-incided with economic problems, housing shortages (mass immigration again), considerable job insecurity, and a general cultural decline.
Sad.
As with the Swedes, the Dutch made the mistake of allowing decent tolerance to become indecent licence, and of allowing a kind welcome for a few non-Europeans to become an open invitation for any and all, millions of them.
Britain made, and is still making, the same or similar mistakes, and is also indoctrinating its young people with the same pathetic and weak pseudo-ideology that is eroding white Europe from within.
Incidentally, I just saw this, about WW2 bombing of Amsterdam-Noord:
The Fokker factories were the 17 July 1943 bombings’ goal, but the bombs of the United States Army Air Forces fell on the surrounding residential areas, causing 158 deaths and 119 seriously injured as a result.
The British’ Royal Air Force and Free French Air Forces both did another attempt to bomb the factory on 25 and 28 July, resulting in the death of 200 citizens in total by the three raids.[2]
Only the British Forces managed to bomb the targeted airplane factory, all other bombs fell on residential areas in Amsterdam-Noord. This is the heaviest air bombardment that ever hit Amsterdam. 106 houses were destroyed, 206 houses heavily damaged and 676 houses suffered glass and roof damage. Every year a memorial ceremony takes place on 17 July at De Nieuwe Noorder cemetery.”

“A Zimbabwean asylum seeker who was jailed for possession of a hammer and racked up more than 60 convictions for drugs, robbery and assault has been granted leave to stay in the UK.
Zimbabwean Ashley Simbarashe Maparura has amassed a ‘dreadful catalogue’ of 68 convictions across several counties, a court heard.
The 34-year-old thug arrived in the UK around 2017 and quickly became involved in serious crimes including drugs, robbery and assault.
But in spite of his appalling criminal record, he was granted leave to remain in the country two months ago.“
[Daily Mail]
The “Readers’ Comments” appended to that Daily Mail report show the level of public anger around such issues: look at this one—
(“Moons12345Northwest, United Kingdom 4 hours ago. Super , which of the barge protesters the other day will take him home, feed and house him for the next couple of years ? Please step forward you all seem very keen to support this type of person ? Any takers – no didn’t think so !“)
I doubt that such as Zoe Gardner (“@ZoeJardiniere” on Twitter/X) will be volunteering, despite having made a career out of supporting the migration-invasion of the UK. https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoe-gardner-8545b479/.
People of that sort sit, usually in leafy affluent areas, promoting the migration-invasion of Europe, including the UK, while “outsourcing” the consequent misery of the collapsing “multicultural” dystopia to others— the poorer people of this country.
At present, somewhere between three-quarters of a million and over a million immigrants are arriving in the UK each year. The vast majority, almost all, remain, though a couple of hundred of thousand people (but mostly real British people) are leaving each year, mostly to go to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Spain. The foreign influx in terms of population change is about 1M-1.5M. Every single year.
Few of those (maybe 5%, if that) are arriving in “small boats” (actually, ferried from just off the coast of France by the RNLI, Coastguard, Border Force, and Royal Navy, all of which organizational names are now a self-parody).
The flood of “dependent relatives”, “spouses”, “fiances/fiancees”, “students”, “asylum-seekers” and “highly skilled workers” (Indians who can work a computer) continues apace. About 3,000, every single day.
One of the worst aspects of both central and local government in the UK is the apparent inability of both politicians and officials to think things through. If we do this, what happens to that and that and that down the line?
Forget the Rwanda Plan, which is an object lesson in present-day UK governmental futility. Only applies to a few percent of immigrants anyway, and will only ever be able to deport a few hundred a week at best (and at huge cost per deportee and in toto), while thousands each week are arriving on the cross-Channel route alone.
Incidentally, about 80% of “asylum-seekers” are allowed to remain anyway, once “processed”.
The pathetic Rwanda “plan” is in any case going to be scrapped by the expected Labour Party “elected” dictatorship, which will be the Government of the UK by early next year at latest.
So we are living in a country where the population is changing fast, and not for the better.
By 2034, another 10M or more, maybe another 15M+ will have arrived. Most will be effectively unskilled, most will be more or less parasitic, quite a substantial minority will be hostile or criminal, many will not even speak, read, or write basic English, and the UK has nowhere even to warehouse these masses of unwanted invaders.
Meanwhile, the British people are becoming poorer, suffering ever-lower living standards, are unable, most of them, to buy or even rent suitable accommodation, and are sharing their ever-poorer, ever-less pleasant cities and towns with a multiracial, multicultural, polyglot mixture of peoples, mostly from the most backward countries of the world.
“World thinktank Globsec reckons a “sudden drop” in aid packages to Ukraine from the West could be the trigger for a Russian victory. The organisation says it would leave an “actual nuclear threat” in Russia’s hands after its withdrawal from nuclear deterrence treaties. Those nuclear threats may continue to grow as the aftershock of Ukraine’s war loss spreads rapidly through Europe.“
[Daily Mirror]
The propaganda against Russia continues, with the now-usual claims that Russia wants to invade Western Europe etc. Oh, and the also-now-usual fake “parallels” with the 1930s and Germany’s expansionist policy then.
I wonder what cabals are behind this incessant push for war?
NWO. ZOG.
That Mirror report, though, does admit that we are on the brink of Russian victory in Ukraine. As this blog has said for over 2 years now, Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

LONDON FALLING? Sadiq Khan is there to be beaten today. Soaring crime, hated ULEZ taxes, gridlock thanks to cycle lanes/LTNs & 20mph zones, obsession with "diversity"

Can it be possible that Sadiq Khan will not be re-elected, after the sainted opinion polls had him, only last week, on twice the expected vote of Susan Hall? Interesting. The result is expected some time today.
The personal attacks and snobbery Susan Hall received from the political class (including her own party) has been absolutely disgusting. The same people preaching about 'diversity' doing everything they can to put people who aren't like them off politics. #LondonMayorElections
I have not taken much interest in the contest. Susan Hall did not seem a very impressive candidate to me, but then look at Shaun Bailey, the West Indian Con Party “activist” and fake charity “grifter”, who was almost a joke candidate last time, yet very nearly won: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_London_mayoral_election.
Indeed, look at Sadiq Khan himself. Plainly not up to the job.
Whatever your feelings about it, the Britain of our childhood is just a memory, never to return, thanks to uncontrolled and unfettered immigration. Immigration which the public have never been asked if they want, and which increases every year against the majority will.
I certainly do not endorse all of the political positions of Laurence Fox, but how can the accuracy of his view above be denied?

Hard to think of any type of person seriously deciding to vote Con at GE 2024, any type of person except some totally unaware and comfortably-off “senior citizen”, probably at least 80 years old, whose ideas about politics and the world come from such a source as the Daily Express.
I despise and distrust present-day Labour, especially under Starmer and his fellow Israel-puppets, but I feel that the necessity now is to stamp on the Conservative Party so hard that it pretty much ceases to exist.
Labour, as likely “elected” (by default) dictatorship, is a looming danger, but will have to be faced. There might even be some kind of race/culture/socio-economic civil war down the line. Not now, though; later.
Kill off one major System party and it will weaken the System as a whole, because that structure relies on a ping-pong between two large parties effectively under similar control but presenting dissimilar facades to the public.
Sadiq Khan confronted over people "running around with machetes" on the streets of London earlier this week:
“I think the Tory candidate should stop watching The Wire."
At least the Conservative Party candidate, Susan Hall, seems to live in some version of the real world, whereas Sadiq Khan is evidently living in some anachronistic “New Labour” bubble of total unreality.
I have not lived or worked in the London area for over 20 years, and have not lived in near-Central London for about 26 years, but just take a look at the Evening Standard, or My London. Almost every day there is a machete attack, or a sword rampage (as yesterday), either by (and usually) black/brown drug gangs or similar hooligans, or (as seems to have been the case yesterday) by some home-grown lunatic. As for less sensational everyday stabbings (often homicides), there are several every single day.
The fact is that London is no longer even a zoo, but more like a wild and uncontrolled jungle.
Sadiq Khan seems to be the only possible victor. The latest YouGov poll has Khan on 47%, with Susan Hall on 25%. I suppose that that accounts for his arrogant refusal to engage on that TV show. He probably only attended as a pseudo-democratic fig-leaf.
Admittedly, Susan Hall seems to be a fairly poor candidate, but Khan has proven that he cannot do the job. Despite that, he will undoubtedly get “elected” again. “Democracy”…
It’s having a devastating effect on the educational outcomes of a big and growing group of working class kids. They’re almost forgotten, because they’re not on the streets. But their living conditions are Victorian, often sharing one room with their parents, siblings, shared…
We came across the story of one promising kid in Southwark who was about to sit his GCSEs. He’d been in temporary accomm for some time. A council house was found for him in Romford. He had to move straight away. Consequently he couldn’t sit his exams.
Yes, but all that, including the housing crisis, is downstream of the mass immigration or migration invasion crisis, without which there would be no “housing crisis” (etc).
The “refugees welcome” dimwits, the pro-immigration idiots etc, always say that the “solution” is to “build more houses” on whatever is left of our green and pleasant land. Really? When about a million immigrants of every type are entering the UK every year? When, on the basis of present law, literally hundreds of millions might have a “legal right” to claim asylum here?
Most of Britain’s socio-economic problems either stem from mass immigration, or have a very strong element relating to the enormous influx of mostly non-Europeans to our shores.

LBC is owned by a Jew who inherited (or was given) huge wealth; see previous blog posts. It is not just a question of ownership. For some years until fairly recently, the political editor of LBC was a Jew who always parrotted “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] rubbish on Twitter, including a few mentions of me.
Trying to understand Zionists like Gideon Falter & others on social media, their central issue is control, if they can’t control things they feel fear & will act out.

I think the Israeli Embassy needs to have an emergency legal team on standby and all Israelis detained by the UK regime should have an emergency number to call.
Israelis should not be telling UK authorities (which are probably infiltrated by Islamic terrorist sympathizers)… https://t.co/Nnrfz2TSTu
Several interesting things there. Firstly, it seems that the UK authorities are at long last waking up to the fact that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of “British” Jews every year go to Israel for what amounts to a form of paramilitary training— training in the use of pistols, submachineguns and long weapons (rifles etc) and even, perhaps, in some cases, explosives. They then return to the UK. How many are sleeper agents run by MOSSAD, Aman (Israeli military intelligence) or other Jewish/Israeli secret and conspiratorial structures?
What genuine “Israeli student” flies into East Midlands Airport anyway? Was it a dual passport holder?
Second, note how tweeter “Brian of London”, whose name suggests, superficially, that he identifies as “British”, in fact quite openly identifies with Israel and not the UK, referring to this country as the “UK regime“. A termite who was burrowing away from within, but now seems to be in Tel Aviv.
There is more. Despite only being a half-Jew (his father apparently not having been a Jew), he was himself at one time booked on an Israeli programme which takes young Jews (and part-Jews, it seems) to Israel, and trains them in military skills:
“Unlike almost all of his classmates, Jake opted to do A-levels, which he undertook at the less religious Hasmonean High School. But he decided that his future lay in Israel on the Hesder programme, which combines yeshivah with IDF service. When his mother suggested that he toughen up before joining the army, he began training at a local martial arts gym.“
“He cancelled his plans to go to Israel and went travelling for two years in south-east Asia instead, studying Chinese in Taiwan and abandoning any sense of his Jewish heritage, let alone observance.”
[Jewish Chronicle]
Are we missing something in that story?
Britain is right to defend itself against hostile Islamism, but that is only half, if even that, of the story. There are, also, other enemies of the British people.
Incidentally, the “Brian of London” Twitter/X account often retweets “Tommy Robinson” stuff, as here below:
Why is Gaza a non stop national story in the UK and this is buried in local news or unreported? https://t.co/2TFljPtbK5

In fact, leaving the obvious anti-Islamist Jewish/Israeli propaganda aside, there is more than a kernel of truth in that clip.
Taking just the UK, over a million unwanted immigrants and/or “invaders” every year and, at the same time, about 200,000 mostly real British people leaving for Australia, New Zealand etc (the younger emigrants) or France, Spain etc (the older people, including retirees).
The whole nature of the UK population is changing, and very definitely not for the better.
Soon the voters will be dumping the Conservative Friends of Israel misgovernment for a Labour Friends of Israel “elected” dictatorship— Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall etc.
The civil service, police etc are still, as one mandarin put it in the 1960s, engaged in “the management of decline“, but the slow decline and mixed picture of the 1960s has now moved on to a steeper slope of gradual but much faster collapse of society.
Even now, the public is not being told the truth, in case they turn to some form of social nationalism.
One sees, not least on Twitter/X, the “useful idiots”, the “refugees welcome” dimwits, those who think that you can import a million immigrants a year (mostly unskilled, many parasitic, quite a number criminal or actually terroristic) without any negative effects on society.
Those “useful idiots” think that the only reason that housing is unavailable or unaffordable, that trains are crowded, that the very roads are literally falling to pieces, that the courts and prisons are swamped, and that pay and working-age State benefits are worth less almost daily, is “government policy”, and that ditching the “Tories” —and I have no quarrel with that, as such— will usher in a kind of pseudo-Labour paradise, or at least something better. Think again.
Look ahead a little. Where will the UK be in, say, 2034, when the population has increased by another ~15 million via immigration and births to recent immigrants?
There are other problems, other factors, but mass immigration (not only the 10% or 5% arriving via the cross-Channel migration-invasion) is key.
There is only one hope— that the real people of Britain turn to intelligent real social nationalism. I do not mean turn to the “beer bottle throwers” of the controlled opposition. I mean real social nationalism. It happened before; it can happen again.
Dan Poulter MP
Top Tory MP who nobody’s heard of outside Westminster and can’t even get a junior ministerial job in THIS government jumps ship to a promised job in a Labour govt and a chance of remaining as MP…..
Poulter himself was first elected in 2010, and has never received less than 50% of the vote; his vote-share in 2019 was no less than 62.7%. He has obviously resigned as a protest designed to damage the Sunak misgovernment as much as possible, with the local elections coming up, followed by a general election sometime this year.
Despite the huge number of Americans who love animals, there is a certain stratum composed of others who are absolutely horrible. For example, the “declawing” of cats, which is against the law in decent countries, is not unusual in the USA (because some cat “owners” value their vulgar furniture more than the welfare of their companion animals).
So, after having killed her puppy, she somehow “got the bit between her teeth” and decided that she wanted to kill her goat as well. She sounds dangerous.
The thing that makes Kristi Noem's puppy-killing story additionally horrendous is that she described the dog as "having the time of her life" and "out of her mind with excitement" and "a picture of pure joy" — right before Noem shot her in the head. The height of cruelty.
These are my rescue dogs, Duke and Winnie. They are now farm dogs. If I let them, they would kill every chicken in the county. We have a boundary fence and common sense.
Kristi Noem should not be allowed to own pets or guns. She’s responsible with neither. pic.twitter.com/njYs7U4AXv
and that includes the half of the American population that is non-white and tends to breed more.
“Everybody is permitted to express their views in a free and democratic society, but not to the extent that others are upset, distressed and/or harassed.”
Freedom of expression, free speech, are both dead; those connected (former) rights have been all but killed off in the UK. What I fail to see is how Fox cannot see which element has (((mainly))) killed them off…
I may as well say a few words about Fox and his recent civil trial in libel.
For Fox as politician of sorts, or his tiny Reclaim Party, I have little time. A political bad joke, and pro-Israel to boot. Not a serious party, despite Reclaim apparently having 100,000 registered supporters.
The liability judgment goes into some detail in respect of the facts and the relevant and applicable law, and is worth reading (though not everyone will want to read all 41 pages).
In the Katie Hopkins case, Ms. Hopkins had expressed a purported (but inaccurate) fact about “Jack Monroe” (the online “grifter” known as the “Bootstrap Cook”) having vandalized a war memorial (which she had not done). Plainly libellous, and also untrue. A war memorial had been vandalized, but not by “Jack Monroe”, who was not even present. Ms. Hopkins should have backed down, settled at an early stage, and thus not had to take to trial a hopeless case; the failure of the defence eventually resulted in Ms. Hopkins having to sell her house, mainly to cover the legal costs of the Claimant, “Jack Monroe”.
Ms. Hopkins had been too proud and, frankly, too foolish to settle early on.
In the Fox case, Laurence Fox had impetuously (at first) called the Claimants “paedophiles“, which as the judge points out in the judgment, is plainly defamatory in most situations. It turns out that the Claimants were, on the evidence, not “paedophiles”. Again, Fox should have settled early. However, as with the Hopkins case, pride seems to have got in the way. The result is that Fox not only has to pay his own legal team (I presume) but that of the Claimants.
The judge (para. 166 of the liability judgment) put the primary key matter clearly:
“Mr Fox’s labelling of Mr Blake and Mr Seymour as paedophiles was, on the evidence, probabilities and facts of this case, seriously harmful, defamatory and baseless. The law affords few defences to defamation of this sort. Mr Fox did not attempt to show these allegations were true, and he was not able to bring himself on the facts within the terms of any other defence recognised in law.”
There is another link between the Hopkins and Fox cases— the involvement of the egregious Jewish-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis, a Patron of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. Years ago, Lewis used to attack me frequently on Twitter (and was involved in other activities offline), prior to his being censured and fined by the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal for similar vitriolic attacks on others; after that, Lewis decamped to Israel, but retained a foothold in London, sub nom Patron Law, the solicitors for the Claimants in the Fox case.
In both the Hopkins and Fox cases, neither of the defendants had any realistic defence, though I can see, having now read the judgment(s) in the Fox case, that his Counsel put up a good fight in a near-hopeless situation.
I have no idea as to the means available to Laurence Fox, or the likelihood of his being able to satisfy both the damages and the costs (presumably to be assessed if not agreed), but it may be that he will appeal; I cannot say. He may be wondering whether he has anything to lose, but of course I cannot express a view, knowing nothing of his financial situation.
I am not “against” Fox. I agree with many, not all, of his views (not of course as to Israel and the Jewish lobby), and I do not think that (as far as I can see or have read) he is a “bad person”. I do think that he is to some extent a “silly boy”, so to speak.
One final thing. I recently blogged about the result of the recent civil trial, also in libel, Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon and Cantor. In that case, some Jew-Zionists defamed a college lecturer, tried to ruin his life, produced other notorious Jews as false witnesses, and (or so a witness alleged in court) even tried to give a substantial bribe to a witness. Result? The lecturer won his case, but was awarded only £30,000 plus (modest, it seems) costs (the Fox case resulted in two awards of £90,000, plus —no doubt inflated— costs).
In fact, the egregious Lewis was also involved in the Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon et al case in some capacity (though not as solicitor of record, according to the published judgment), this time on the losing side (in a sense, in that the defence witnesses were all known to him; some if not all were members of the “CAA” and/or “UK Lawyers for Israel”, as is Lewis), and (from what has emerged on Twitter/X) may have also mis-advised at least one of the losing defendants, who may thereby now have to sell his house, possibly making that defendant and his family homeless; another defendant killed himself.

Talking point
I have known a few, not many, Persians/Iranians in my life. One group was a family the head of which was a member of the Parliament in Iran under the Shah. When the Islamic Revolution happened, that man was hanged but his two sons were in London as students at Imperial College, living in a mansion flat in Little Venice bought for that purpose. Their mother was later allowed to join them. Exiles. I got to know them via a mutual friend when living in the same district of the capital.
I also became briefly acquainted, in 1976, before the Revolution, with two of the children of a wealthy Iranian/Persian family; I believe that, as with the first family, the family were large landowners. I saw a picture of their palatial house in some province or other, maybe Shiraz.
The children of that family were a young man whom I had met while travelling from London to Penzance by train one night (a First Class compartment but not a sleeper). He was a student (Architecture, I think, if memory serves), aged about the same as me (I was 19, I think).
Not long after, I was invited for an informal supper with the student and his sister, a charming young woman in her early twenties, who was working in Brighton as a nurse, I think. The family had bought two or maybe three bungalows in the same small close on the edge of that town so that various young family members could be together while in England. A young female cousin who lived across the way also attended.
I remember the evening partly because I arrived from London, and departed, on my motorbike, a Suzuki 250, and was able to use, for the first time, the then quite new M23, and which had almost no traffic at all in the mid/late evening. Hard to believe, today.
I lost touch with the student and his sister, and wonder what happened to them after the Revolution. I suppose that they too stayed on in the UK as exiles.
Over the years, I met the odd Iranian, and at one time (early 1980s) I was acquainted with an old fellow (as it then seemed), Edward Sykes (now long-deceased), who at one time, during WW2, had been sent to Teheran under diplomatic cover, but whose real job was to prepare to blow up and/or scout out the land for the sabotage of, numerous bridges, should German forces invade the country. Unlikely perhaps, but with the Wehrmacht already in the Caucasus and, on the other hand, in North Africa (menacing British-controlled Egypt and Palestine, and French-controlled Syria), not impossible.
A common-enough surname, but the Middle and Near East (and especially Persian) linkages are telling. cf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Sykes_(writer), another Sykes with Persian, Arab, SAS and SOE links and experiences.
Anyway, Edward had a group of people from Surrey (I was in the first year of my law degree, and had moved for a while back to living with my parents at Reigate); those old people went trekking on public footpaths through woods and fields once a week, starting and finishing at a rural pub somewhere, the route meticulously planned out in advance. I think that most of those people had some kind of WW2 intelligence or connected background.
Those old people were tough! After the fairly long trek and lunchtime pub food (ploughman’s lunch, pint of beer), they were all still alert, but I always fell asleep in Edward’s car (he and his wife were neighbours of my parents) on the way back! A tough generation.
Edward told me that he had been tasked, during the War, with the kidnap of a high-ranking Iranian, General Zahedi, thought to be pro-German. This Edward accomplished by using the services of the then quite new SAS. The general was sent to Palestine in a plane.
The story has a twist: later, that general’s son became, inter alia, Ambassador of the Shah in London, and invited Edward to a reception at the embassy, where he told Edward that his father had always said that he had not been badly treated in captivity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardeshir_Zahedi.
What strikes me, looking at some of the high-ranking military and naval people under the present regime in Iran, is that quite a few have strongly Aryan/European looks. Unsurprising in a way, in that the Aryan migration from Atlantis to ancient India then gradually ebbed back in influence from east to west: ancient India, ancient Persia, the Middle Eastern cultures, to Greece and Rome, and then to our Northern European culture, both during classical times and then, more particularly, since the 15thC and Renaissance.
There is also the point that some of the Persian aristocracy married German women in the 20thC. I know that another sister of that student I met on a train was a natural blonde.
My own direct connection to Iran has been less than slight— a 2-hour refuelling stopover in 1967, in the early hours at the then Teheran Airport, at the time a deserted and gloomy building with nothing much happening.
So, instead of improving the Green Belt, and making it greener, Starmer’s pathetic “plan” is to build on it, creating inevitably-poor-quality housing developments, which will be occupied mainly by immigrants of various kinds. How do I know this? Because there are over a million arriving in the UK every single year now, and even if a couple of hundred thousand people leave (mostly Brits, fleeing to Australia, New Zealand etc), that still means that the population of the UK is increasing by half a million to a million every single year (almost entirely noin-European), despite the (white British) birthrate having fallen to an unprecedented low.
Immigration on the mass scale has to be stopped. If you like, make an exception for the odd brain surgeon or nuclear scientist, but that would be in the hundreds, not the hundreds of thousands.
The mass immigration to which the UK is now subject is unsustainable for several reasons. First, the very numbers; secondly, the fact that most of those coming in, not just the 5% or 10% on the “small boats”, are actually useless to the people of this country. There are further reasons as well.

“Four ‘highly dangerous’ Hackney gang members including three brothers and a fourth man have been jailed for a total of 75 years after firing machine guns and pistols and possessing crack cocaine and heroin. Three brothers, Ryan Gordon, 31, Ramela Gordon, 28, both of Lynmouth Road, and Jameal Gordon, 32, of no fixed abode, were jailed at the Old Bailey on Wednesday, April 17.
On March 14, 2020, the Gordon brothers discharged a number of rounds from the Uzi sub machine gun into a block of flats targeting an opposing gang. One of the bullets injured a member of the public passing by on their way home from work.
Officers used CCTV footage to connect the brothers to another incident where a self-loading pistol was fired in a heavily pedestrianised area of Homerton on May 21, 2020. A few days later, officers examined a block of flats in Lynmouth Road after a warrant was issued.“

“Ukrainians view the West’s promises to support Kiev “as long as necessary” as an empty story, Politiko writes. ” Due to the weakening of Western support, Ukraine is experiencing an acute shortage not only of weapons and men, but also of the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Neither the population, nor the soldiers, nor their leadership anymore believe in the victory of Kiev. Russian leader Vladimir Putin may never have been closer to his goal “, the paper writes.”
The Western states may supply arms and ammunition but cannot supply fighting soldiers. The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers, and new recruits. It can only be a matter of time before there is a general advance of Russian forces across both Eastern Ukraine and the Black Sea littoral towards Odessa.
“A barrister who was jailed for asking clients to sell him drugs has failed in a bid to overturn his 14-month prison sentence.
Henry Hendron, 42, sent messages asking for help with drugs supply, after meeting the men through his work as a criminal lawyer.
Delivering the ruling, Recorder of Sheffield Judge Jeremy Richardson, sitting with Lord Justice William Davis and Mr Justice Calver, said Hendron’s case is “unique” and added: “It is to be hoped that remains the case.”
Dismissing the appeal, the judges concluded: “The sentence here is not excessive, still less manifestly excessive in all the circumstances.”
Hendron had built up a profile as a barrister to the stars, with prominent clients including the Earl of Cardigan and Tory MP Nadine Dorries.
But Hendron’s career floundered after his 18-year-old boyfriend Miguel Jimenez was found dead at the flat the couple shared in Pump Court, Temple, in the City of London, after taking a lethal cocktail of so-called chemsex party drugs.
He admitted buying £1,000 worth of M-cat or Meow Meow and GBL from award-winning former BBC producer Alex Parkin and was handed a community order with 140 hours of unpaid work at the Old Bailey in 2016.
The Court of Appeal noted that Hendron had not been disbarred after that conviction, noting “unusual and very serious” feature of his case.
He was suspended by the Bar Standards Board for three years following his 2016 convictions.
He was reprimanded and prohibited from undertaking public access work for two years following a disciplinary hearing in 2021 after holding himself out as a barrister on websites while suspended.“
In that blog post, I speculated as to whether Hendron knew something discreditable about senior figures or, perhaps, was being treated leniently by reason of some other kind. I am still none the wiser on that, however.
It seems, on the face of that Evening Standard report, though, that Hendron is still not disbarred. Curiouser and curiouser.

“My friend grew up in New England where they have pigeons. Apparently they also hate them. He was always saying bad things about pigeons until I pointed something out that he never thought of before: We domesticated pigeons. They are (nearly) all over the world because HUMANS BROUGHT THEM THERE. And, they were more than pets. They carried messages. People raced them. They lived spoiled lives as honored human companions for centuries. Then we got telephones and we threw them out like trash. Literally, we threw them away. Their species had already been fully domesticated and they could not survive in the wild; they lost all their survival instincts during the centuries that they lived caged by people. That is why they live in cities with people instead of in a forest somewhere. It’s OUR fault. And not only did we throw them away, but now humans curse them as “winged rats;” casting them as pests. But they don’t know how to live without us, and their instincts tell us that they should trust us. So, they continue to come up to humans and beg for food, because it’s the only survival skill left in their genes. They love us because they were bred by us to feel that way, and yet we hate them.”
Good points. Urban pigeons can be a nuisance, true, but they also clear up rubbish people throw away or drop in the streets, like crisps and chips. In the end, they are God’s creatures.
