Such barbarians have no place in Europe. Untermenschen. Put him and others up against a wall.

[“A century ago, one in every four big trees in the eastern forests of America was a chestnut, and every autumn the country under them ate for free.

The American chestnut was a giant, a hundred feet tall, and there were close to four billion of them from Maine to the Deep South. Each autumn they dropped a carpet of sweet nuts so thick you raked it up by the sackful. Families roasted them all winter. Hogs and cattle were turned loose in the woods to fatten on them for nothing. Turkey, deer and bear lived off the same mast. The timber, straight and rot-proof, built the barns, the fence posts and the furniture. One tree fed the people, fattened the livestock, carried the wildlife through winter, then built the house.

Then in 1904 a blight arrived on imported Asian chestnut stock, spotted first on the trees at the Bronx Zoo. It moved through the forest at fifty miles a year, and by the 1940s it had killed close to four billion trees, nearly every mature chestnut on the continent. One of the worst ecological catastrophes in the country’s history.

Here is the part that should stop you. The tree is not quite dead. The old roots still send up shoots, year after year, that the blight cuts down before they grow tall enough to fruit. A century on, the stumps are still trying, and still failing.

A free harvest that fed a continent every autumn for thousands of years, gone in forty, and still reaching for a sky it will never reach again.”]

Sounds as though there is hope, at least.

Refers to senior Labour Friends of Israel drone, James Purnell, being appointed as Burnham’s Chief of Staff.

Purnell is a horrible careerist, entirely in the Jewish/Israeli pocket. Pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, anti-Welfare State, anti any privileges for pensioners, pro- finance capitalism, and pro-globalism. An outright enemy of the people.

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

Well, the clearest signal yet that the Burnham regime will be along the same basic lines as the Starmer regime.

Pretty obvious what his proclivities are (likely to be)…

[“Here are three seemingly separate stories you might have missed in the last week in the UK that, taken together, reveal something far more profound.

First, it’s emerged that pro-immigration campaigners helped place and prepare illegal migrants in the audience on the BBC flagship debate programme, Question Time, to “test” pro-migration messages in front of the British people.

Second, it’s been revealed that a writer who helped craft storylines on the popular BBC primetime soap Eastenders is a “migration and racial justice” activist who works on “changing people’s views” through popular culture.

And third, it’s been revealed that the family of Rhiannon Whyte — a young mother who was stabbed to death by an illegal migrant from Sudan — was guided by state officials to “tone down” their statement after Rhiannon’s murder, because of fears it might cause unrest among the wider population.

Three seemingly different stories that involve three different institutions – the BBC, the creative industry, and the British state. What do they all have in common?

They all reflect the Narrative State — a state that no longer sees its main role as being to describe reality but present a warped version of reality that reflects and reinforces its dominant ideology.“]

We are going to need a lot of walls and squads…

[“Burnham’s allies have told the “i” newspaper he plans to water down Labour’s plans to reform ‘indefinite leave to remain’.

Reminder: many of those who are being given the right to remain are part of the disastrous Boriswave which nobody voted for.

It was an enormous betrayal of the British people.

Burnham’s allies talk about “fairness”.

But how is it “fair” to undercut British workers by importing 5 million mainly low-wage, low-skill, non-European workers into the country and then forcing the British people to cover the cost?

And how is it fair to demand the British people stump up an estimated £600 BILLION for a policy they never asked for?

It’s not.

As usual with Labour:

It’s immigrants first.

British workers second.”]

So it begins.

If mass deportations are not “realistic” (but who decides what is “realistic”?), then the problem will have to be dealt with in other ways. Sterilization, for a start. Other solutions beyond that.

Rupert Lowe has his points but has not the consistent sound ideology, nor the wide and deep education, to be a real national leader.

For a long time, the French have indulged in a favourite socio-cultural fantasy, i.e. that if a non-European is born in France, or even just arrives, he or she either is, or can become, “French”, especially if processed through the French school system. Sadly misguided.

Wall. Squad. End.

In the absence of elimination, or mass deportation, sterilization is the only way to go.

A different lifestyle

Happened to see a blog post published on this day four years ago, in 2022. I think that most of it still stands up pretty well.

Diary Blog, 23 June 2022, with some more thoughts about “Boris”-idiot, the misnamed Conservatives, and Labour.

Gordon Brown. One of many System politicians who are enemies of the British people and of the future of Europe.

Our animal friends.

You only have to consider that, under both Sunak and Starmer, Israeli flags in light were projected onto the facade of 10 Downing Street, and Jewish candlesticks were placed in a window.

Look at what Mark Carney has supported: the Gaza genocide by Israeli Jews, Israel generally, the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic “measures” and “vaccines”, and the brutal and corrupt regime in Kiev.

I believe that Carney is part- (((you-know-who))) anyway.

[“The truth: the choreography is the confession.

Prime Minister Andy will kick off with the polite little pantomime at Buckingham Palace, constitutional cosplay for the cameras, king playing his assigned role as ceremonial mascot.

Then the mask’ll drop and the real masters get their audience:

First, Zelensky—to lock in Britain’s blank-cheque loyalty to the Ukrainian meat grinder and the Atlanticist death cult that feeds it.

Then von der Leyen—to genuflect before the Brussels bureaucracy, that rotting late-imperial corpse still twitching with regulatory power.

Then dinner with the hedge-fund crowd — the people whose debt-based capital actually moves the needle while your ballot paper gathers dust.

Only after paying proper obeisance will he deign to lecture the British public about net zero, the greatest corporate wealth transfer ever dressed up as planetary salvation.

This is shareholder democracy working exactly as designed. You are not the principal. You are a minor stakeholder with diminishing returns.

The sophisticated machinery of polling, micro-targeting, narrative management and behavioural nudges exists to keep you compliant and distracted. Fail the real principals—the money, the alliances, the permanent bureaucracy—and the consequences are swift and brutal.

Fail the voters? Just tweak the script and roll out a new slogan. 250k raped girls? Deny. Lost control of borders? Ignore. If caught, point finger and scream racist like Donald Sutherland in The Body Snatchers.

The order of Andy’s first meetings will tell you everything an election-night victory speech never will. Voters give Legitimacy, that’s the idea, not the reality anymore but it is still the script that’s followed. Performance.

The others give Power. And in the chasm between those two things sits the brutal reality of modern governance.

You are a serf who’s been handed a smartphone and told you’re free. Your ancestors clawed their way out of this condition. You’re being slicked and bullied back into it, with the cheerful assurance that your rootless, broke, unsafe grandchildren will foot the bill and curse your name.

Wake up.“]

“Caesar’s chariot has arrived!“

The more I see, not so much of Burnham himself but more of the hysterical adulation around him and focussed on him, the more I think that his tenure in office will be disastrous, even if it lasts for the full 3+ years until a 2029 General Election.

As for the BBC and Sky wasting large amounts of money on helicopters to follow “Caesar’s” train (“royal train”? or “imperial train”?) and then taxi, that just underlines what a sycophantic propaganda Schauspiel those msm outlets now are.

I have to admit that, on me at least, the general msm lauding to the skies of the new Labour “Caesar from the North” is having an effect opposite to what is obviously intended. I now start to dislike Burnham, those around him, and those praising him.

I note that (as it seems) Burnham is praised for having taken buses and trams (back) into public ownership in Manchester, and keeping fares stable. Yes? What else? Is that it? Underwhelming, in a world (and a UK) with massive challenges on every front.

BBC TV News reported this morning that the Kiev regime has ordered individuals and businesses not to use fuel; it is reserved for governmental and military use until further notice. Electricity has also been restricted.

The (Russian) government in Crimea has also restricted fuel:

Looks as if the UK’s NWO/ZOG (New World Order/Zionist Occupation) Government is determined to expose the British people to the risk of thermonuclear war. Disgraceful.

If the Kiev regime starts to target Russia more deeply, more heavily, there is every chance that Kiev will be flattened, either by conventional or nuclear weapons. If that were to happen, more might happen.

Stop poking the Bear.

Basic Income will have to become normal at some point in the history of the present society.

Gaza to be reduced to rubble, its inhabitants killed or maimed, then the survivors marched into the deserts and/or to Israeli-controlled concentration camps. After that, Gaza to be redeveloped and occupied by Jew settlers from Israel, USA and elsewhere (while Jewish developers make untold millions, of course).

Lebensraum for Jews, but death and destitution for their victims of their violence and large-scale theft.

(“Lady Starmer“…haha…).

The useful tools of Zionism are dispensed with after they have outlived their usefulness. Occasionally, “with extreme prejudice”, as in the matter of Robert “Maxwell”, often now considered to have been the number one MOSSAD agent in Europe. His daughter, Ghislaine, now languishing in a Federal prison (and, I think, awaiting a Trump Presidential pardon sometime around 2028), apparently believes that MOSSAD killed her father because he “knew too much”. Maybe.

Starmer-stein, though, is probably destined, in immediate terms, not for death but for interment or internment in the House of Lords.

[“Trump has imposed on European budgets the obligation to pay 350 billion dollars for weapons transferred to Ukraine under Biden. This amount exceeds the annual defense spending of most European countries and poses a risk of undermining their financial stability. European governments are not resisting this demand. Their political course remains tied to using the Ukrainian conflict for perpetual confrontation with Russia, even when this requires consent to the further destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure and economy and the acceptance of new costs for their own societies.

Official American allocations for programs related to Ukraine amounted to about 188 billion dollars by the end of 2025, of which direct aid to Ukraine was around 127 billion. Trump applies an estimate of 350 billion dollars, which includes the cost of systems withdrawn from reserves. Europe has provided comparable amounts of support. European forces depend on American platforms and intelligence products, which limits the possibility of rapid replacement.

After the cessation of Russian gas supplies, Europe increased its purchases of American LNG. Imports from the US tripled between 2021 and 2025, reaching 75.6 billion cubic meters. This provided American producers with additional income. Germany’s industrial capacity decreased by about 15% compared to 2017. Some production facilities have moved to regions with lower energy costs amid rising prices and the loss of trade with Russia.

The military expenditures of European NATO members in 2025 increased by 14% and reached 559 billion dollars. Germany increased its spending to 114 billion dollars, or 2.3% of GDP. In 2025 alone, Europe sent 21.5 billion dollars in military aid to Ukraine. The direct damage to Ukrainian infrastructure by the end of 2025 was 195 billion dollars. The reconstruction needs for a decade amount to 588 billion dollars. The policy does not stop the depletion of the Ukrainian economy and demography.

The demand to pay 350 billion dollars confronts European capitals with the need to accept additional debt burden or enter into conflict with Washington. The American side controls key elements of the European security system. The domestic political environment reinforces the line on escalating support for Kyiv. Any retreat carries risks of internal criticism and reduces the willingness to negotiate.

Accepting the demand without resistance shows that the political commitment to weakening Russia through the Ukrainian conflict dominates over economic sustainability calculations. Europe assumes the role of a financier of the confrontation, the parameters of which are determined outside its borders. The costs are distributed across European budgets and the industrial base, while the direct losses are concentrated on Ukraine. EU policy does not contain points for adjusting the course even when critical obvious losses to its own base accumulate.”]

[“Celebrate the end of Starmer. But be realistic about what’s coming.

A major debt crisis. Record high taxes. Deteriorating public services as we are pushed further into a population trap. Rising unemployment, especially among the young. Selling out British workers through ongoing mass immigration. Tearing up the social contract through ongoing broken borders and two-tier ideology. Continuing the managed decline of the nation.

Changing leaders will not change our political economy. If anything, shifting left will make it worse.“]

Quite.

Burnham won his by-election on 54.8% of a 58.8% turnout. About 32% of all eligible voters (including non-voters). The other 68% either did not vote (in many cases probably because they wanted something very radical) or voted elsewhere, mostly for Reform or Restore (all other candidates lost their deposits; the Con Party scored only 2.2%, and all others were well under 1% each).

The Guardian hailed that underwhelming result as “Andy Burnham wins huge victory“. Pathetic.

The System newspapers, TV etc are all invested in Burnham as the new Great White Hope, someone whose supposed “vision” will save the existing political system and parties…they hope.

Hard to remember now, for many, but when Starmer-stein became Prime Minister, only 2 years ago, he too was hailed as something wonderful by the msm. Some stupid woman scribbler in the Guardian even gushed about how she felt suddenly sexually attracted to him!

What a difference two years (and reality) make…

In days of yore, before Mrs. Thatcher closed off Downing Street, I occasionally used it as a short-cut. Early 1980s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downing_Street#Security_gates.

MSM drones such as Lewis Goodall naturally cannot bear anyone saying or tweeting, or blogging, the truth…

I have said for years that football, and most other sports in the UK, USA, EU states etc, now consist of what my be described as the boast that “my blacks can beat your blacks.”

Ironically, the only sport —racing— in which, at one time, in South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, and parts of the Caribbean, blacks were the only participants (young black boys riding bareback as jockeys) is now one of the few (certainly in the UK and mainland Europe) in which there are almost no blacks riding (and I think in the USA too, to a large extent).

The way that Flat season jockeys especially now ride, almost on the necks of the horses, was first developed by those small black boys in the Southern states of the USA in the 18thC.

…together with the fake “Conservatives” (especially under “Boris”-idiot) and the LibDem clowns.

“A massive majority” but, crucially, of Commons seats in an outdated and rigged electoral system, not in terms of popular vote.

The Starmer-Labour popular vote in 2024 was only 33.7% of all votes cast (only about 1 point up on the 2019 General Election and Corbyn-Labour), and that gave Labour over 63% of all Commons seats. Ridiculous.

In fact, fewer than 60% of eligible voters even voted. Starmer’s active voter support or citizen support was, even in 2024, no more than 20% in reality. People also voted, mainly, or most of them, to get Sunak and the Con Party out, not specifically to get Starmer-Labour in.

The Con Party vote in 2019 had been 43.63%; that fell to 23.7% st GE 2024.

In short, Starmer-Labour won GE 2024 by default, and won big by reason of the outdated/flawed/rigged electoral system.

What I mean by “rigged” is the boundaries drawn to preserve fake “fairness” and a two-tone, or at most three-sided, result.

Jess Phillips really seems to think that she was re-elected despite Starmer, maybe even despite being a Labour candidate, but when you look at those who lose their main-party approval and try to get re-elected purely on their own popularity, not many do. Corbyn is the only ex-Labour one that comes to mind.

Jess Phillips: pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, and one of the worst freeloaders in the Commons. God knows why anyone would want her as an MP.

As previously blogged, nothing Trump now says can be relied upon, not even for a single day.

…and that is just the conventional, non-nuclear, arsenal. Give Russia Eastern Ukraine, the Black Sea littoral, and a condominium status in Kiev, and establish a rump Ukrainian state centred on Lvov. I have been suggesting that as a suitable outcome for 4 years now.

Late thought about BBC TV News

Saw about 10 mins of the BBC TV News broadcast earlier. Some non-white woman was reading the news. I can just about tolerate “Keeev” for Kiev (well, only just— it is ludicrous), and that seems to be BBC house style at present, but the woman then referred to the Colombian capital, Bogota, as something like “Bargaaartar“.

For God’s sake, if you cannot find any educated or semi-educated (real) British people to read out your tendentious propaganda, at least get a non-white who can pronounce such a name as as Bogota without sounding utterly stupid.

His past as a far-right nationalist made him an easy target to dismiss.
The political class and media had no interest in hearing it.
Neither did the people.

Independent inquiries into Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford and other towns later confirmed the scale of the abuse where thousands of children had been systematically groomed and raped while police and councils failed to act, partly paralyzed by fear of racism accusations.

The messenger was destroyed. The message never went through. The victims paid the price.

But like him or not, he was right.”]

The whites of South Africa were mad to give up power to corrupt and incompetent blacks. That ethno-community is a very positive sign, but may have to fight for survival in the end.

As a matter of fact, I tipped Burnham as future Labour leader on my then Twitter account as long ago as 2010, and again in 2015 (I was expelled from Twitter at the behest of a pack of Jews in 2018) . At the time, I regarded Burnham as the best of the very poor bunch vying for the position. That is still my view. He is not much good, and his colleagues are worse.

Anyone from 1966 returning to the UK in 2026 would scarcely believe it to be the same country.

Reform UK is not “extreme” (social-national) enough. Not at all.

Israel is deliberately sabotaging the ceasefire agreement.

God, how absolutely ridiculous.

Sometimes a mouse will enter a hive, attracted by the warmth and the smell of honey. The bees will then attack it as a group until they neutralize the intruder. But there’s a problem: the body is too heavy to be carried out of the hive.

And that’s where one of the most fascinating behaviors in the animal kingdom comes in.

To prevent the carcass from decomposing and contaminating the entire colony, the bees completely cover it with propolis, a natural resin they collect from trees. This substance has powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Little by little, the body dries out, is preserved, and becomes completely harmless to the hive.

This phenomenon, observed by scientists and beekeepers, is considered one of the most impressive examples of collective hygiene in social insects.“]

The inherent wisdom of Nature.

“Legacy“? The bastard thinks that he has a “legacy” (in any but the most negative sense)? The self-delusion of Starmer-stein may be scarcely unique in System politics, but is still striking.

Migration-invasion and globalist economics…

As blogged not long ago, the die is now cast.

A major war in Western and Central Europe must be avoided at all costs. However, if the NWO/ZOG cabals trigger such a war, and if the British people or part of them survive, that might be an opportunity to remove and eliminate System people and parties, and non-European parasites and predators, and then to create, down the line, something new and free.

Final stray thought

A while ago, I blogged to the effect that Trump said one thing one day, another —and contradictory— thing the next. Well, Trump now says several contradictory things within a single day. This is no terribly clever negotiating tactic; it becomes just totally mad.

Makerfield by-election

Well, Burnham won. Not unexpected. The msm is going mad with this supposed great turning-point etc. Rather overblown, as is their contention that all Labour (or both of the main System parties) needed to do was to change horses, and both Reform and Restore would be left behind.

Not quite. At the 2024 General Election, Labour scored 45.2% at Makerfield, and Reform UK scored 31.8%. At the 2026 by-election, the Labour vote was 54.8%, so higher but not stunningly so, and the Reform vote was 34.5%, also higher than in 2024, despite the challenge from Restore Britain (6.8%) which did not exist in 2024.

While Reform and Restore together scored well below Labour’s vote, that combined vote still added up to 41.3%; quite respectable. Over 41% of the total of eligible voters did not vote at all, a sign that many are either apathetic or more radical than Reform and Restore.

Prior to the vote, enemy of the people Lisa Nandy made some foolish comment that “about 6% or 7%” of the Makerfield electorate were “racists” who would vote for any anti-immigration party. 6% or 7%. Now see the combined Reform/Restore vote— over 41%.

I think that several factors contributed to Burnham’s win. The split Reform/Restore was one. True, the two parties still scored a total below that of Burnham-Labour, but that might not have been the case had only one party stood.

Then there is the hullabaloo and msm reportage about how Burnham would unseat the hated Starmer-stein, and about Burnham’s supposed more radical and/or active ideas to improve life in the North of England. Unconvincing to me, but apparently not to many Northern English voters.

The other interesting parts of the by-election result were the poor showings of the Conservatives and LibDems.

The Conservatives scored only 2.2% at the by-election, and lost their deposit. In 2024, their vote had been 10.9%, and in 2019, 34.4%.

The LibDems scored only 0.4% at the by-election (a mere 163 votes) as against 6.8% in 2024.

An indication of how far the credibility of both parties, Con and LibDem, has fallen in parts of the country.

The so-called “vaccines” have done huge and hugely underreported damage to millions.

The growing anger and frustration of the British people may be expressed, by 2029, in Parliamentary form, or in some other form(s).

I remain far from convinced that the “our Andy” show (complete with “our communities” and “our NHS“) will travel well anywhere very far south (or north, or east) of Manchester.

I saw a minute of so, on BBC TV News, of Burnham speaking today. He wants to “re-industrialise the North (of England)” (how? has he never heard of China?) and spread much money here and there. For me, not at all convincing or even interesting.

The Irish “tinker” or “traveller” element is also, of course, notorious for such activity. Others too.

I can recall, from when I was staying in some hotel on the Corniche in Alexandria (Egypt) in 1998, looking from my balcony and noticing an obviously wealthy Egyptian family in a large Mercedes stop, and a little girl, obviously instructed to do so, exit from the vehicle with all their fast food boxes and paper bags, and simply dump them over the parapet into the beautiful blue sea of the Eastern Harbour, which sea once would have been seen by Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus, not to mention Churchill and others.

[“If anyone doubts the power of community action over the @EnvAgency’s spineless inertia, you can walk to the outskirts of Ilford & walk along an ancient lost river to see for yourself.

With 10 days of intense effort by dedicated volunteers, the river River Roding Trust managed to clean up & restore 250 metres of the Aldersbrook (about 1/3 of the brook). This allows a direct comparison between the parts of the brook we restored & those we haven’t got round to yet.

These photos & videos are all from May 2026. The first is on a part of the Aldersbrook still to be restored & shows the old flood defences which are no longer needed & are killing the river but which the EA won’t remove unless we volunteers pay them £50,000 just for surveys.

These defences have caused 2-3ft of stinking sludge & silt to build up over 70 years, such that the water in the brook is just a few centimetres deep. Combine with huge amounts of rubbish & and out of control knotweed infestation & the river ecosystem is essentially dead.

A river that is older than England destroyed by official indifference.

A hundred metres away, and it’s a different story. The rubbish & the invasive species (I sprayed the knotweed myself last autumn) are gone. The silt that used to clog the river is now spread on the banks & rapidly providing fertile ground for native plants. Instead of sludge, there’s 2-3ft of water, so fish have returned to the brook for the first time in decades, along with dragon flies, herons & a nesting moorhen.

We river guardians knew our intervention would make a difference, but have been shocked at quite how quickly nature has come back. The restored Aldersbrook is now a rare jewel: pretty much the last fully natural tidal brook in London. The EA now has a choice. It can salvage some good from this situation & work with us to restore the remaining sections of the brook, or it can continue to do nothing. If the latter, river guardians *will* be back this winter to finish the job & the EA can see how well prosecuting volunteers for restoring a river without permission goes for them.“]

Bravo.

[“Around the country, a huge tree planting programme of our most important native tree is underway. But no bureaucrat decreed it in a policy paper, & it relies on no government funding. This mass planting is being carried out by nature herself.

2025 was a ‘mast year’ for acorns. In order to have the best chance of reproducing, some trees like oaks all produce a huge amount of acorns in the same year. This sheer abundance overwhelms creatures like squirrels that snack on the nuts, as they simply can’t eat them all.

Now, in woodlands & fields across the country, we see the results of this self-directed tree planting. Huge carpets of baby oaks that in some places are so thick they look like a grassy green lawn. I’ve honestly never seen so many oak saplings in my lifetime & this scene is all the more incredible given the oaks somehow knew to coordinate their reproduction like this.

Although this planting effort is natural, there are some things that humans can do to help. As self-sown oaks are usually significantly more vigorous & healthy than nursery grown saplings, encouraging these oaks will likely lead to much better trees than through planting.

What you can do depends on the local circumstances. Sometimes they can just be left to their own devices. If they have sown themselves in a area of high footfall, consider putting rocks or logs round them to stop trampling. If they are in an area with lots of deer, consider putting tree protectors round them, or fencing off areas of them. If we have a dry spell, watering your chosen oaks might help them through the dry patch. In choosing which of the many oaks out there you want to support, concentrate on those outside of the canopy of existing trees, where they will get light (the saplings under the shade of existing oaks are unlikely to make it long-term). You could also consider giving them light by removing invasive species (like rhododendron) or cutting back less ecologically useful trees (like sycamore), or potentially scrub (if there are no deer about) that are covering the baby oaks.

With a little bit of care, you could be helping to nurture a tree that will last for 500 years or more!“]

The patience of the Russian leadership with this increasingly-serious shadow-boxing with the Kiev regime must be wearing thin.

(ps. the “Ian” there is not me but another Ian).

I may not “support” “Tommy Robinson”, as such (because he is controlled or too-influenced by the Israel-lobby), but he has a point here, of course.

I hope so, and that that is not a smoke-and-mirrors job designed to keep massive non-European hordes in Europe.

In the present age, trains should be run by the State as a strategic part of the economy, and fares kept reasonably low. At present, in the UK, we are getting the worst of both worlds: high prices combined with poor services (often) and the taxpayers funding private profits.

Those ticket prices London-Wigan are just insane.

Labour ministers and “comms” drones imagine that winning the Makerfield by-election (assuming that they do) will effectively crush both Reform UK and Restore Britain. I doubt it, but even were that so, it will not crush the justified and growing anger of the British people (including, in coming years, those in Makerfield) at migration invasion, environmental collapse, falls in living standards (and all other standards) etc.

Incidentally, “GOTV” = “Get Out The Vote”. Labour is throwing everything at this by-election. Desperate.

As said…desperate…

A few drone strikes, however destructive, on Moscow or other cities, will not change the arithmetic in the overall battlefield space.

I see Russian tweets etc claiming capture of villages, small settlements etc; from the Ukrainian side, not even that. The claimed Ukrainian advances must be either over depopulated areas of farmland and woodland or, at least as likely, non-existent.

The elephant in the room, surely, is the fact that Putin and the Russian leadership are not using more than a few percent, maybe less than one percent, of their potential destructive power. Russia has 7,000 nuclear weapons.

Would seem to indicate, if typical, that Russia is losing only 1 soldier killed for every 15 Ukrainian soldiers.

[“Labour has no right to win Makerfield, by @bnhwalker.

If Labour wins in Makerfield it will have been down to one man: Andy Burnham. In the most recent local elections every one of the individual council wards in Makerfield went Reform’s way. Nigel Farage’s party secured 50 per cent of the vote compared to Labour’s 25 per cent. Labour has never done so badly in Wigan. Whatever the capacities of one candidate, Reform should be winning it. The Makerfield constituency polls put Andy Burnham ahead by between 5-12 points.”]

There are 650 constituencies in the UK and Northern Ireland. I do not believe that any Burnham Bounce will swing (even in 2026) more than 50 of them. In any case, once (if it happens) Burnham is “crowned” PM, he will be faced with the same issues as Starmer-stein. Will he have better answers, or outcomes? I very much doubt that.

By 2029, this country will be even angrier and/or more desperate.

[“People vote in extraordinary ways in by-elections. They’ll even vote tactically for a party they can’t stand if it achieves the goal of a bloody nose to the party they backed last time. Honestly the way Labour has flooded Makerfield and the shocking machinations of Simons & Burnham would have me moving from abstention to considering in the privacy of the ballot booth a way of holding my nose to deliver a bloody nose. And as an ex-Tory I’m prepared to give LDs or Labour a hearing, I’m much closer to them on a few things than any of the (very) right-wing parties, that speaks to my natural and growing Burnham antipathy. The Our Andy stuff has been insufferable even from a distance.”]

UK Government aggression towards Russia is veering into the territory of outright war. Supplying the Kiev regime with 150,000 drones (presumably funded by the British taxpayer, at that) is tantamount to the UK taking a very active and direct part in the war. Mad.

As said before, Britain has never had any substantial connection with Ukraine, not in the thousand years of Ukraine’s history as effectively part of Russia, and not in its mere 35 years as a corrupt and shambolic notionally independent state. None.

Now the anti-British “British” government is launching what amounts to a military campaign against Russia in order to support the corrupt and brutal Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev. People should be asking why…

Were I a resident of Kiev, I should be packing my bags. Frankly, if this continues, the same might be said of London.

Exactly.

Exactly.

As said, the absurd thing is that, if Labour wins the by-election, nothing in fact changes and, outside the Manchester area, I doubt that Burnham is much of a gamechanger electorally.

I just read the brief Iran-US agreement. It is 90% in Iran’s favour, if not 100%. After 60 days, fees chargeable by Iran to all other states’ shipping to ship through the Strait of Hormuz; Iran oil exports to start again; Iranian assets to be unfrozen worldwide; a USD $300 BILLION fund (payable presumably by the USA) for the reconstruction of Iran (after the American and Israeli bombing and missile attacks); an Iranian pledge not to develop nuclear weapons (a promise already in place before the war anyway).

The USA has learned a lesson. Do not let the Jews (whether in Israel or the USA itself) dictate your foreign policy. Do not let the tail wag the dog.

A strategic disaster for both the USA and Israel, and the fault for it lies with Netanyahu and Israel, and with Trump. A TV personality and speculative businessman does not a statesman nor a strategist make, in most cases.

F.O.! Hegseth, you idiot— and take your Jews and (now-demented) Trump with you.

Something that, as I have noticed this week, people across the political spectrum agree upon. A horrible crime even in a country of (now) often horrible crimes.

That case also makes it clear that children of any age should never be condemned to be adopted by gay men in performative “marriage” “cosplays” (same goes for crazed lesbian couples).

Our animal friends. It is good to see something natural and pure after so much human degeneracy.

All roads lead to Rome, but…yes.

…or Russian, for that matter.

(in fact, there was never a serious possibility of German forces invading the UK in or around 1940, and there is no possibility of Russia taking over the UK in 2026).

Apparently an AI fake.

[Update, later same day: some msm outlets are now saying it is genuine. If so, mad…].

Incidentally, that “Crewkerne Man” is none other than Joshua Bonehill, or Bonehill-Paine, who used to put himself forward, about a decade or so ago, as a coming sort-of “national socialist”-style “Fuhrer” of the UK.

Bonehill-Paine tried to organize anti-Jew marches and would-be semi-pogroms in Golders Green and Central London (I think that 6 or 7 idiots actually turned up).

Bonehill-Paine was then, after a number of both political and non-political criminal convictions, imprisoned for many months, over a year in fact. In prison, he turned, or was turned, or brainwashed (?), from “antisemitism” to Judaeo-philia.

“Bonehill-Paine first questioned his antisemitic views during his second year in prison, after reading the Bible, and enrolled on a deradicalisation course via his probation officer.[4]” [Wikipedia]

Q.E.D.

Now, recently filmed looking 30+ years older than he did only a decade ago, he is apparently a supporter of the washed-up “Conservative” Party, is ludicrously pro-Jew and pro-Israel, and is even promoted by Israeli media outlets (as seen on his Twitter/X banner).

Very very strange.

Unbelievable.

Mirabile dictu! I actually agree with Ed Davey on something…

Incredible that a supposed “top businesswoman” (Deborah Meaden) can be so dim; there again, it is a common fallacy that the very wealthy (even those who inherited riches) must somehow be highly intelligent, and very knowledgeable. Often, not so.

As for multikulti “Conservative” drone Fraser Nelson, I have written about him on the blog in the past. Nothing he writes is worth reading.

The very terminology is outdated. “Working class” is almost as passé as what Ernest Bevin once called “the jolly old proletariat“.

As noted on the blog for several years, drones have changed the face of warfare, especially infantry warfare. This is only the start.

In the end, Burnham will be same-old, even if he runs Starmer out of town.

At the 2024 General Election, and in very rough figures, for every 20 eligible voters 8 did not vote at all; 4 out of the 20 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.

Starmer-Labour, as I blogged 2 years ago, only had the active electoral support of a third of those that actually voted in 2024, and a mere fifth of all of those eligible to vote.

Now? About half of the 2024 figures.

Opinion polling suggests that Labour, even under Burnham, would be the choice of only around 26% of voters were there a GE any time soon.

By 2029, Burnham-Labour, if Burnham does take over, will probably be running in the polls at around 20% at best. Will Labour try to change the rules, as they are presently doing in Manchester re. the mayoral by-election?

There is no “Parliamentary road” for us, but elections may yet be a peripheral part of the way forward.

Blast from the past

I happened to see and to re-read a blog post from exactly 2 years ago. I said, inter alia:

[“Khrushchev, in his memoirs, said that (putting it in the language of 2024) an office-bod or bureaucrat type of person (he was thinking of Malenkov) was the very last type who should ever be given power.

Starmer is exactly that type. A sterile black-letter legal type, beholden to the UK Jewish lobby and Israel lobby; probably a freemason too. He will soon be an “elected” dictator by default, purely because the “Conservative” misgovernment is simply incapable of governing at all.

Starmer and Labour, on their own merits, would struggle to get elected. That they are now superficially popular by default is just absurd. They are not at all popular, but there is nothing in their way now. Less than two and a half weeks to go before Election Day, and the Conservative Party will be lucky to retain 50 MPs, in my opinion (which has been my opinion on the blog for months). (The “experts” are still saying 100-200).

Starmer is about to institute a kind of tyranny, for the benefit of transnational finance-capitalism and, of course, (((the usual))) “cosmopolitan” interests.”]

See:

Diary Blog, 17 June 2024

Well, if I say so myself, who shouldn’t, I was pretty much right in calling it. I concede to having been wrong in thinking that the Conservative Party MP-cadre might reduce from 372 to 50 (it reduced to 121); next time, perhaps.

I think that I have been proven right as to the rest, though.

The CPS is afraid of the various “ethnic” lobbies, in this case the Sikh lobby, but more usually the Muslim lobby and (most of all) the Jewish lobby: see

Diary Blog, 15 January 2022, including an outline of the failure of the latest Jew-Zionist attempt to prosecute me
Diary Blog, 16 March 2024, including an account of my recent free speech trial and sentencing
Diary Blog, 17 March 2024, including the aftermath of my sentencing hearing

In 2021, Stephen Silverman of the malicious Jewish “Campaign Against Antisemitism” fake charity (ethno-political pressure group) made a quite deliberate and false allegation against me to the police (see the first of the three blog posts noted above), to the effect that I had “racially harassed” him.

Completely false. Indeed, all harassment has been in the other direction, for years. I had never contacted the bastard, never seen him/it, and did not even have his/its contact details, address etc.

I was never charged with the invented “crime”, but the police should have charged Silverman. He quite plainly committed an attempt to pervert the course of justice, as well as the lesser crime of wasting police time. Was never charged.

I blame myself in part. I should have made an official complaint to the police against Silverman in 2021 or 2022; I am just not the kind of person who is always “reporting” people (if “people” is the bon mot)…

“Multicultural” countries cannot survive as nations, and can only survive as enforced states, kept in one piece by severe laws restricting free speech, political activity, protest, dissidence etc. This is now where Britain is. Policing has become nakedly political, and that also applies to the prosecution of offences.

The monkey may be changed, but not the organ-grinder(((s))), nor the music played.

Translates to a Commons with about 325 Reform UK MPs (just short of a majority), 84 Cons (very weak official Opposition), 62 LibDems, 61 Lab, 45 SNP, 44 Greens [etc].

Once again, on those figures Starmer would lose his seat, as would any (?) Labour MP at Makerfield, the by-election for which is tomorrow.

Whoever this lady may vote for, anyone who has mixed-race grandchildren (or children) is, to that maybe small extent, helping those who are destroying Europe’s future.

Quite amusing to see the Twitter/X “antiracist” idiots replying to that brief clip. As usual, deploying the “thick as mince” and similar comments. They cannot see that they themselves, desperate (God knows why) to see Labour succeed at Makerfield), are the dim souls, thinking that more System Labour misrule is a good thing (and that yet more migration-invasion is somehow a good thing).

Well, that opinion poll may show a “Burnham Bounce” for Labour, but that is now. If the next GE is not until 2028 or 2029, the picture may have changed or changed back, after another year or more of Labour government.

Anyway, that poll seems to show that a GE today, but with Burnham as PM, would result in a Commons with about 276 Reform UK MPs (about 50 short of majority), Labour 194 (substantial Opposition), 62 LibDems, 37 Cons, 30 SNP, and 25 Greens [etc].

That would be a completely hung Parliament, and with a minority Reform government unable to find the 50+ extra votes needed to pass anything much.

Incidentally, on those figures, and with PM Burnham as MP for Makerfield, he might well lose his own seat unless able to buck the national trend…

Bear in mind, though, that Restore’s impact has not been much quantified yet.

Yvette Cooper, Angela Rayner, and Al Carns, all suggested/potential Labour leaders, would also lose their seats on those figures.

If Burnham wins tomorrow at Makerfield, he will therefore probably not call a GE but hang on until (?) 2029, probably getting less and less popular, but hoping that “something will turn up”. Meanwhile, nationalist and social-national resentment will build up a formidable head of steam in the country.

I suppose readers of the blog will expect me to make a prediction as to Makerfield.

A fool’s errand, really, but for what it may be worth, Labour does seem to be nailed on (maybe, though, not to the extent seen on the betting market, where Labour is now heavily odds-on at a fairly absurd 1/7).

I expect that there are many “secret” Reform (and Restore) voters, but whether there are enough to make a difference I do not know. It is said that 10%-15% of Makerfield voters remain uncertain or undecided.

I think that Reform are now unlikely to pull it off, partly by reason of the ad hominem attacks made on the Reform candidate, partly because Restore’s candidature has plainly split what would have been the Reform vote. A Reform victory, though, is still just about possible.

Well, in a day or so, we shall all know the result.

What a stupid —and basically performative— action. How many ships owned by UK-based companies sail under flags of convenience? Thousands. What if Russia starts to seize them? This kind of state piracy is not the right kind of thing at all. This is the 21st Century, not the 16th or 17th.

Don’t poke —or keep poking— the Bear.

Actually, not sure that £80K is such a good salary in the UK these days, especially when taxable, but the point stands.

Peter Murrell is now in prison on remand, and awaiting sentence, while his wife or ex-wife, Nicola Sturgeon, the self-important Scottish fake “nationalist”, would-be “world statesperson”, and probable lesbianka, is politically finished, and living in some sort of luxury rental in London (presumably hoping to become a mass media TV talking-head and newspaper scribbler), but the SNP itself staggers on.

In a sense, one can see why the SNP is still riding fairly high in the opinion polls. Labour is washed-up north of the border as well as in England and Wales, the LibDem default-vote joke party is only supported in a few niche and/or former Conservative areas, and few these days will vote fake “Conservative” in most of Scotland. So for whom do Scottish people vote? It is said that both Restore Britain and Reform UK are gaining support, but surely not enough to worry the SNP. There again, between a third and a half of Scottish people still think that they want notional “Independence” from the UK, so that does limit their choice of party.

In the end, the SNP is just another globalist System party; pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, pro-EU, pro-immigration. Same-old, in short. However, at present, enough Scottish people are fooled sufficiently by the fake flag-waving of the SNP (despite it at one point having been led by a Pakistani!) to keep the SNP in play.

Replacing the monkey will not change the music being played, nor the identity of the organ-grinder(s).

Reform could have smashed its way right through the politics of the UK, but Farage and Tice allowed the Jewish/Israel lobby to influence and control them, and also started to flood Reform with non-white candidates. That is why Restore, though also very flawed, is making ground.

What English/British people really want, or rather need, is social nationalism, but most are so brainwashed by decades of Jewish-lobby propaganda on TV, in newspapers etc, and now also in schools, that they themselves are all but unaware of their own needs.

“Talk TV” is an Israel-lobby front, and often invites the liar and perjurer Stephen Silverman, of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” fake “charity”, a volunteer arm (some of them are paid, in fact) of the Israeli Embassy in London.

Reverting to the Reform/Restore situation, my attitude to Restore is not very different to how I see Reform, i.e. a useful tool in moving the overall Overton Window, meaning moving the general weight or bias of public opinion. Even if Reform or Restore were to win a general election, the (((usual fix))) is already in, certainly in Reform, and possibly soon in Restore.

[“NEW: Bloomberg Saturday read

— Andy Burnham is planning to move quickly after Makerfield to secure a coronation. His supporters think John Healey’s resignation kills off Keir Starmer’s chances of survival. They think Wes Streeting and Al Carns don’t have the numbers, and that Burnham can quickly get 250+ Labour MPs and most of the cabinet to back him.

— Starmer insists he’ll fight, but the question is what the cabinet does. Burnham’s supporters want them to tell the PM to agree a handover. Before Healey resigned, Starmer’s allies hoped he could battle on because most of the cabinet would back him to stay. Aides suggest the calculus is changing and Healey’s brutal exit makes it more likely they tell Starmer it’s over.

— Even Starmer loyalists are very critical of the PM. They wish he’d been bolder, found the defence money from welfare, net zero or elsewhere, and sacked Ed Miliband. Several allies say they can’t believe Miliband and Shabana Mahmood (who they say privately plotted with Burnham and Miliband to oust Starmer) are still in the cabinet, but Healey isn’t. One says that’s the final evidence of his lack of authority, political judgment and decision-making ability.

— Starmer’s relationship with Rachel Reeves has been tested to the limit. Her resistance led Starmer to renege on his Munich speech and overrule Healey and Jonathan Powell. She effectively buried his survival strategy of focusing on security. Reeves allies argue it’s her job to make the numbers add up and if Starmer wanted more money for defence he could have imposed more departmental cuts but was unwilling.

— Burnham will not keep Reeves on as his chancellor, despite her allies pitching her to stay. Reappointing her would not be the change he’s promising, one Burnham supporter says. They say they spoke to Reeves around the locals and came away believing she would help them persuade Starmer to go, but she didn’t follow through.

— The turmoil is rattling UK allies. European diplomats contacted British counterparts in recent days complaining about the uncertainty over the UK’s defence spending plans, the slow pace of the uplift and Healey’s departure. They’ve also asked for information about Burnham’s plans for foreign policy and defence but got no answer.

— If Burnham does become PM he’ll face the same problems. His critics say he’s never uttered a word of substance on defence or foreign policy, shows no interest in it and has no plan. It is not impossible that in the next few months the British PM has to join negotiations with Putin over Ukraine. “Can you imagine Burnham doing that?” asks one official, especially with Powell likely to leave with Starmer.

— Starmer’s chaos also distracted from what might otherwise have been a bad week for Burnham. He got away with his WASPI gaffe thanks to Healey. Labour MPs are also critical of his plans on immigration. One aide said his proposal to end asylum hotel contracts and move responsibility for housing migrants to local authorities is amateurish and toxic.

— It all leaves Labour MPs in a state of total despair. Starmer looks finished but Burnham has no obvious plan and keeps making basic mistakes that foreshadow another troubled premiership, one said. If Burnham loses Makerfield, Labour appears to have no other options.“]

Interesting, but fails to make the point that any money spent on “defence” at this point is simply money thrown away.

The “threats” to our country and society do not come from Russia, not at all (that’s just msm propaganda nonsense) but from demographic change, the change from being a relatively civilized white European society to a multikulti dystopian mess, an approaching near-anarchy made worse by falling living standards and migration invasion.

Ed Miliband. That crazy Jew.

Incidentally, I have never found an answer as to where the family money came from. I have tried to analyze it on the blog previously. We are told that the Miliband father arrived in the UK during the early stages of WW2, young and as a “penniless” “refugee” who had lost his family wealth by reason of the “Nazis”. However, not long after WW2, in the 1950s, certainly by the early 1960s, the family (mother was also supposedly a “refugee”) was in a house in expensive Primrose Hill, and then in —really?— The Boltons, Kensington, one of the most expensive addresses in the country.

Did the Milibands, like so many Jews, have money secreted overseas/offshore? We do not know. What about today, in 2026?

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

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

I remember that, sometime around 2010 or 2012, Jeremy Paxman interviewed Ed Miliband, and made an oblique reference to the Miliband family wealth, but Miliband deflected and tried to laugh it off.

Many of Britain’s ultra-wealthy have considerable funds offshore.

Actually, on a personal and not directly-related point, I remember being told, prior to a flying visit to Liechtenstein in 2002, that the person I was flying out to see (you have to fly to Zurich and then drive to Vaduz, which takes another ~2-hours), a quintessentially-English-named Mr. Jeeves, who was in the offshore industry and was also the Honorary Consul (British Consul) in Liechtenstein, was also an agent of, or at least source for, SIS.

Mr. Jeeves apparently dealt with large amounts of offshore (i.e. tax-avoiding) monies on behalf of some very or ultra-wealthy British people, including the then Queen (Elizabeth II) and Mick Jagger. So I was told, anyway.

Looking up today, online, the global Jeeves Group, though, I notice that the person I went to see in 2002 is not now directly involved in operating the organization; he and his brother were at least in their sixties, I should imagine, and may well be deceased, 24 years after I met one of them.

Wouldn’t those “antifa” cretins get a massive shock if [REDACTED BY REASON OF UK POLICE-STATE CENSORSHIP]…

[“The British People are fully on board with deporting all illegal migrants. Good.

Now it’s time to turn to the reality that legal migration is the far bigger problem.

There are approx 14 million third-world descent migrants in Great Britain.

If we do not urgently reverse legal migration, we will soon become a minority in our homeland. We are already a minority in a quarter of schools.

Some might say that remigration is extreme, but I would argue that being willing to give up our only homeland is far, far more extreme.

Without the Native British People, there is no Britain.“]

“Losing“? That boat sailed long ago, Goodwin. A major factor has been the promotion of mass immigration for 80+ years (mostly, though not entirely, by the Jewish element in politics, law, and the mainstream media).

Only wading through very unpleasant swamps will now save the British people, and I doubt that Reform UK is up to what may need to be done.

[“What’s living in the UK like? I’ll tell you. In the last week alone we have had to process:

-an attempted beheading by an illegal migrant from Sudan in Belfast
-while still trying to make sense of a boy, Henry Nowak, being stabbed to death while police were more anxious about allegations of “racism” than trying to save his life
-then we learn children in Scotland were assaulted by Bulgarians while the police didn’t believe them either
-while reading that a vulnerable 18-year-old was rped by an asylum-seeker from Pakistan -while an asylum-seeker from Iraq got only 6 years for rpe
-while an Iraqi national, was found guilty of eight counts of r*pe and grooming children as young as 12
-and his friend from Iran who arrived illegally skipped bail and is on the run
-and now we learn that a teenage girl has been stabbed in the neck by no doubt “a local man” in Burnley.

That’s one week in the UK. Oh, and the Left say talking about all this is “divisive”, they blame social media and Elon Musk, and local councils have told us not to fly our national flag because it might “intimidate” migrants. One week. The UK.”]

A couple of point: first, the “Bulgarians” mentioned were almost certainly Gypsies from Bulgaria, not ethnic Bulgarians. Bulgarians, like Romanians, are often tarred, very wrongly, with the brush that should be reserved for the Gypsy element from both countries.

Second, why does Goodwin never mention the fact that Jews such as now-dismissed p/t judge, barrister Simon Myerson of Leeds, have actually set up “charities” to import more Afghans etc?

In fact, Goodwin always avoids criticism of Israel and of any Jews (with the exception of the Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, but Polanski is one of those Jews other Jews love to hate).

In my view, one element that really does need to be addressed, urgently, by Government in the UK is not black or brown (etc)— the nasty Irish-origined tinker/”traveller” element. In fact, properly “addressing” that problem might encourage some of the blacks and browns (etc) to depart “voluntarily”.

Apocalypse Now

Saw a long recording of the final director’s cut of the famous film, Apocalypse Now. More than impressive, and makes much more sense than the usual much-cut-down version that I have seen in the past.

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_Now#Apocalypse_Now_Final_Cut

Quite many films have been butchered; to what extent, you only understand once you see fuller versions: The Wicker Man (1973) is far far better in the rather longer versions. I once had a copy of the Director’s Cut version.

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wicker_Man#Director’s_cut

Same goes for Taxi Driver:

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

One film that I thought only just made sense when I first saw it in France is Les Rivieres pourpres. I read later that the director had cut out a high proportion of the film as originally made; as far as I know, no longer cut exists in the public domain.

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

A great pity.

Late tweets

Look at them. As I suspected, not “Bulgarians” but Gypsies from Bulgaria.

Now, those little Scottish girls have been vindicated, the Gypsies convicted, and Police Scotland (and Humza Yusaf) shamed (yet again).

All the msm etc are talking about the Makerfield by-election as if the whole future of the UK rests on it. No, because even if Burnham wins, which is now probable though not certain, he has, and Labour has, nothing much in the tank. Same-old, really.

Good point.

People are getting desperate for a real Britain and a real British political vehicle. Unconsciously, they want social nationalism but are, by reason of a century of mostly Jewish anti-“Nazi” propaganda, mostly completely unaware of that.

I believe the graph. When I was in the Caribbean, I was told that, if a local (i.e. black) man marries a woman with existing teenage or even pre-teen daughters, it is almost expected that the girls come with their mother as a kind of sexual package deal for the man.

Incidentally, why do so many “woke” cretins not understand “per capita“? Must be an educational failure.

Not hard to believe at all. It is simply that Starmer-stein has outlived his usefulness by reason of not only his own incompetence but also that of his entire Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet.

By reason of Starmer’s failing credibility, the organ-grinders need a new monkey to draw in the punters…Arise, Andy Burnham…

Oh, I see that System mouthpiece and “asset” Paul Mason is there too. What a surprise…(use the search box on the blog to see my assessments of Mason).

Always. The “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, for example, has repeated “form” for claiming thousands on the streets at their events, when the true number has, at times, been no more than 100 or even 50.

I repost that tweet despite the individual in question having repeatedly tweeted against me a decade ago. #MoralHighGround.

A thought out of season

I was just thinking about the Henry Nowak matter. I myself live only about 20 miles from that part of Southampton, though in a very different semi-rural area.

I was also thinking about the Belfast protests or small riots.

The Southampton protests seen on TV and online seem to have involved 50-100 people, I doubt many more. I suspect that either a high minority, or a majority, of people generally are angry or at least concerned by wider aspects of the Henry Nowak case, also the wider aspects of the appalling savagery of the Belfast incident, as well as the incidents themselves, yet all we can see, on the surface, talking about Southampton, is 50 or 100 people (did the crowd ever amount to as many as 150?) confronting and —pointlessly— taunting a police contingent which also seems to have been in the dozens or maybe 100-150 in number.

Southampton itself has a population of about a quarter of a million people. You cannot judge the public mood by the few willing to get involved in street stand-offs (I do not think we can call them “battles”), whether in Southampton, Belfast, or anywhere else. You cannot say that, just because only a couple of hundred people turn out for a street protest in a city with 250,000 inhabitants, that that represents an otherwise-quiescent public. Not at all.

People are getting very apprehensive/concerned/angry about the present migration invasion and its consequences.

Thus making Labour strong favourite to win the by-election. On the surface, bad news, in that it strengthens Labour, whose national vote (however stupidly) may rise if Burnham takes over from Starmer-stein.

On the other hand, looking at the bigger picture, it means that well over a third of the people —37%— of that Makerfield area (a traditional Labour area) are now thinking in terms of nationalist politics, though not so many thinking yet in terms of social nationalism; more than are thinking of voting Labour, anyway —only 35%.

The direction of travel is toward national and even social-national politics, and away from the traditional System parties.

In any case, voting “democracy” is only part of the story. All roads lead to Rome, and only white Europeans should be allowed to vote in this country.

Has Parliamentary “Democracy” (as we have known it until now) Had Its Day in the UK?

Look at the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and, indeed, post-Soviet Russia. Dozens if not hundreds of ethnic groups and languages. Kept together by the knut, one way or another. To the extent that Russia has “democracy”, it is because the Russians constitute the large majority.

USA? Well, until the Second World War, the USA was large-majority white European, indeed —at one time just after the First World War— about 90% white European, albeit with a number of minority European cultures (and also a strong Jewish element in a few cities, but mainly in New York). Now, whites are just about the minority, maybe 48%, and look at how dictatorial the USA has already become.

UK? You decide…

Seems that the police in the county have appealed for information as to the identity of the nasty person who killed a seagull in St. Ives today. It may or may not be the person identified in the above tweet. The sweatshirt certainly looks very distinctive.

A silly little man, a Labourite political careerist, who had no background at all in defence until appointed by Starmer-stein. Ludicrously pro-“Ukraine” (Kiev regime), too. Incidentally, Healey has always been a member of Labour Friends of Israel. What a surprise…

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

Very true, though a few of the examples cited are ill-judged. For example, that Linehan slug joined in several times with the Jewish-lobby attacks on me after I was both wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016. Linehan is a complete tool of the Israel/Jew lobby, a nasty person through and through.

Like others (e.g. Allison Pearson, Toby Young etc), Linehan pretends to be for “free speech”, but in reality favours the “cancellation” and censorship of whomsoever is hated by the Jewish lobby.

Of course, both Linehan and Allison Pearson are within the msm milieu, so their incomes (I presume that Linehan still has an income of some sort) are dependent on not being targeted by the Jewish lobby; dimwitted Allison Pearson has even made common cause with the malicious liars and perjurers of the so-called Campaign Against Antisemitism”, the main activity of which is to whine and demand for less “free speech”.

Talking point

Saw that the following blog post from over 9 years ago, so one of the first, has had hits. I can still stand by it:

Aspects of the New Society

More tweets

[“The government said the Online Safety Act was about protecting children. We were called conspiracy theorists for saying it wasn’t!

Well er … Ofcom is writing to platforms about “crisis situations”, civil unrest and enhanced moderation measures. (Blocking posts they don’t like)

Children aren’t mentioned once. NOT ONCE.

The problem isn’t removing genuine incitement to violence. The real problem is that unelected regulators will pressure platforms to decide what millions of ADULTS can and cannot see whenever a “crisis” is declared.

many platforms will remove perfectly lawful content rather than risk the punishment of Ofcom.

Read the letter for yourself. Link in the thread.]”

The cartoon below was about that sort of situation in the USA, but fits perfectly with the repression of online freedom in the UK:

[“Bloody hell, I’ve been digging more into the government definition of ‘Crisis’ a bit more So… an unelected regulator is now operating within government where the meaning of “crisis” has become very stretched.

The Cabinet Office Amber Book says an emergency under the Civil Contingencies Act covers serious damage to human welfare, the environment or UK security. (fair enough) But then it has added … “For the purposes of this guidance, the terms emergency and crisis are used interchangeably.”… INTERCHANGEABLY?

It also says an emergency/crisis can include situations that have not yet been harmful but have the potential to be (they do not define ‘harmful’ This guidance has not been voted for or debated So let me explain why thats so important. it means that almost any situation the government believes could become a problem can now be treated as a ‘crisis’.

And under that broad language, Ofcom has been able to write to platforms about civil unrest, crisis situations and how they will need to beef up moderation, it isnt just about removing illegal content.

Anything could become a “crisis”, no one voted for the widening of the definition and no one had the opportunity to, because thats how government by guidance works…. hoping you won’t even notice.“]

The “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic was the template.

[“Oh lookie here…. And now the pincer movement. The government wants …

A NATIONAL COUNTER DISINFORMATION CENTRE!

The foreign affairs committee says it’s about protecting against foreign interference (sensible) But …

the recommendations include cross-government coordination and closer working with private organisations and expanded powers to tackle ‘harmful’ narratives.

Who decides what counts as “disinformation”? Well erm … government regulators and approved experts will decide which narratives are acceptable.

The greatest threat to democracy is not the public discourse. It’s the state deciding what discourse is permitted.

Read my book!“]

The BBC has led the way, with a “BBC Verification” department which is itself actually just a System disinformation-broadcasting department.

Late tweets

Translates to a Commons with about 311 Reform UK MPs (about 15 short of an overall majority), 85 Cons (very weak official Opposition), 83 Greens, 67 LibDems, 45 SNP, 32 Labour [etc].

Those figures would mean that about 370 current Labour MPs would lose their seats, including Starmer and, notionally, any Labour MP at Makerfield.

31 current Conservative Party MPs would also lose their seats.

I think that the polling organizations are going to have to place Restore on the board, because the absence of Restore obviously skews the suggested results in terms of seats notionally won at the next GE.

To my mind, with the present System people in place, almost any money spent on defence is wasted, much of the background policy being predicated on the nation that Russia wants to or even intends to invade Eastern or Central Europe, or even Western Europe, and maybe even the UK. It’s all nonsense.

This country should not be wasting money on supporting “Ukraine” (the corrupt, brutal, and shambolic Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian thug regime in Kiev); neither should any money at all be spent on assisting the vicious Israeli regime.

As for those political parasites and chancers such as Daniel Hannan, suggesting that both State pension benefits such as the Triple Lock, and disability benefits for British people, should be slashed and the monies diverted to “defence”, forget it! Crazy, as well as being political suicide for any party entertaining it.

A million migrant-invaders are coming into the UK every year; others are being born here… Our country is quite rapidly now falling to pieces by reason, mainly, of migration invasion. Stop that, rather than building fantasy armies and navies to be deployed in fantasy scenarios about fighting Russia (and its 7,000 nuclear weapons).

On the contrary, Britain should leave NATO and cultivate good relations with Russia, thus ensuring cheap energy for our industries and domestic consumers, and also giving the UK a huge and valuable market in Russia, a market currently closed to the EU states by reason of their mad anti-Russia sanctions regime. It could all be ours.

…and a member, of course, of Labour Friends of Israel.

Like most former officers who become MPs, Jarvis has proven to be a big disappointment in every way (cf. Johnny Mercer— remember him?).

Ah, another resignation. Al Carns looks good on paper (i.e. his background), but I reserve “judgment” (assessment) until more is known.

Seems to be pro the Kiev regime, so I am not too hopeful, but we shall see.

Wall. Squad. End.

Again more villages or hamlets. Russia needs a gamechanger in Ukraine.

A proper social-national government would change course, radically.
