According to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] (adjusted to add-in tactical voting and Scottish voting), that would leave the Conservative Party with only 80 seats (Labour Party 483; LibDems 38).
The latest YouGov poll (9 January 2024) is even more stark: Con 72, Lab 514, LibDems 36.
Call me spiteful, but one of the aspects of all that I like the most is thinking about all those nasty and/or smug little careerists of recent years, in the 20-40 age range, willing to “throw under a bus” the poor, unemployed, disabled etc, and who thought that they had a future as Con Party MPs coming to them, and now face a less-pleasant future of having to work in a real job for a living.

I am hardly “pro-Trump”, as such, but if he can struggle through to a second term, that will make the world a rather safer place. He would take away the ricebowl of the Jew-Zionist dictatorship in Ukraine, and try to make some kind of peace with both Iran and the Arab world.

Look at the state of this country! Potholed roads, railways that do not run half the time, corrupt MPs, useless police, environmental degradation, endless scandals, and the continuing (and enormous) migration-invasion.
So on what does little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, waste money? Attacking Yemeni rebels, supporting Israel, and funnelling arms, ammunition and actual money to Zelensky’s brutal and doomed Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.
The sooner the General Election comes, the better, even if, in the short term, the result is a Labour Party elected dictatorship. The “Conservative” Party must be destroyed.

Interesting. Just as Brexit (the 2016 Referendum) was about more than Brexit alone, so the protest votes (especially for Reform UK) will be about the whole state of this country, and especially the migration-invasion (not just the cross-Channel aspect but the whole “million-blacks-and-browns-a-year” aspect). The existential threat to whatever up to now could be called “Britain”.
Make no mistake: even if the “net” increase per year is “only” half a million, or 600,000, that is still enough to collapse this whole country into rubble and social disorder within 5-10 years. Bear in mind that the invaders will be breeding as well.
Both numbers and ethnicities. Many white (i.e. British) people are leaving for countries such as Australia, New Zealand etc. They may be wrong about those countries being safe havens, but leave that question aside. It means that even the “net” immigration of non-whites into the UK is somewhere around 800,000 per year.

Money available for Ukraine, but nothing to repair potholes on UK roads.

As speculated about previously, it may be that deep tunnels will be the method of choice for Palestinian Arabs to attack Israel in areas far from Gaza.
Though tunnels have been used in places in other conflicts (eg in the Vietnam War), tunnels of the length and sophistication of those under Gaza have not played a big part in warfare anywhere, except in fixed defensive lines, such as the Maginot Line constructed on the French-German border between the world wars. Of course, fixed defences in a few fortresses have also employed underground tunnels and emplacements— Gibraltar, under Moscow and other cities, NORAD in the Rocky Mountains etc.
The advantage in the Israel/Palestine conflict is that the Palestinian Arabs do not have air fleets, tanks etc. Tunnels give them the chance to strike unexpectedly in the heart of enemy territory.

A pretty obvious case of fraud and local government corruption, prima facie, and in my opinion. Either that, or local government maladministration on an almost unbelievable scale.

I have blogged about Paul Mason previously a few times. My view originally was that he was interesting on economics, but politically completely stupid, seeming to endorse a kind of anarcho-syndicalism (superficially) while (rather a red flag) wanting to forcibly repress those with whose views he disagreed. The latter would be social-national people like me.
I then discovered that Mason was both a one-time Trotskyist, and part-Jew.
I have seen allegations online that Mason is tied up with British security and/or intelligence. Maybe. I find him hard to pin down either politically or even in terms of economics. Another red flag, at least for me. Someone who seems to run with the quarry and chase with the hunters.
When Mason was reporting on the Greek financial crisis, he was plainly (even expressly, I think) pro-Syriza, the supposed socialist “party of the people”, which took power for a while, but then repressed the real voice of the Greeks (Golden Dawn), and then sold out the Greek people to transnational forces of capital and the EU. NWO/ZOG, in short.
Now we see that Mason supports the attack on the Yemeni rebels, supports the Israeli attack on Gaza, supports (loudly) the dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev etc. No wonder some call him a System “stooge”.

Rishi's off to Ukraine – but £2.5bn is not enough when Russia is doubling its defence spending. We should be rearming UK for self defence and massively increasing arms to Kyiv. Expensive yes. Not as expensive as having to invoke Article V when the next aggression begins. Learn…
“Invoke Article V“? To invoke Article V would be to push the button to start the third world war. Madness. I hope that this crazed scribbler, Mason, does not have any real influence in the corridors of British power.
The best way to ensure peace is to dump support for Israel, dump support for the Kiev regime, and try for a realistic realignment in Ukraine, with Russia ruling the part of Ukraine east of the Dnieper and along the Black Sea coast.
British pilots, sailors and no doubt others risked their lives to keep civilian shipping safe from Hitler-saluting terrorists. We need a report to Parliament asap on the aims, the results and the strategy … and if needed a vote to authorise further and extended action.
Ultimately, Mason is someone whom —despite never having met him, only having seen him on TV— I instinctively dislike, and someone who, in my opinion, is not to be trusted.
Seems that my view of Mason is shared by others…

“A senior Conservative MP launched a scathing attack on a controversial bill banning local councils from boycotting Israel, as eight Tories voted against the proposed legislation.
Alicia Kearns, the Conservative chair of the foreign affairs select committee, told the Guardian that the bill undermined free speech, went against international law and risked leaving the UK isolated on the global stage.
While the bill passed by 282 votes to 235, eight Conservative MPs voted against the legislation, which will cause some embarrassment to its chief supporter, Michael Gove.“

The 282 MPs who have voted for that bill are Israel-lobby and Jewish-lobby puppets.
“The UK has some of the worst cancer survival rates in the developed world, according to new research.
Analysis of international data by the Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce found that five-year survival rates for lung, liver, brain, oesophageal, pancreatic and stomach cancers in the UK are worse than in most comparable countries. On average, just 16% of UK patients live for five years with these cancers.
Out of 33 countries of comparable wealth and income levels, the UK ranks as low as 28th for five-year survival of both stomach and lung cancer, 26th for pancreatic cancer, 25th for brain cancer and 21st and 16th for liver and oesophageal cancers respectively.
The six cancers account for nearly half of all common cancer deaths in the UK and more than 90,000 people are diagnosed with one of them in Britain every year.“

Starmer is a weasel, an Israel-lobby puppet, a Jewish-lobby puppet, and nothing more, but the most important thing is to completely wipe out, if possible, the equally-“occupied” “Conservative” Party. It would be disastrous if more than about a hundred Con Party MPs were to survive the 2024 General Election. That would tend to validate the rigged pseudo-democratic System.
Every time Starmer opens his mouth, he reveals just how unfitted he is for the role of Prime Minister. Something that he has in common with the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

They would also suffer the humiliation of having to watch every single seat in the Red Wall return to Labour, symbolising how the Tories failed to lean into the post-Brexit realignment of British politics.
I am thinking maybe a loss of around 250-300 seats, leaving the Con Party as a (50-100 MP) rump party, on a similar though higher level to the LibDems (now with 15 MPs but maybe with 30 or more after the GE, thanks purely to a projected or possible collapse of the Con Party vote in the South of England as well as elsewhere).
Of course, the LibDems are a bad joke, but then look at the Con Party over the last 14 years or more…indeed, look at the “leaders” alone: David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson, Liz Truss, and now the Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

“A former firearms officer who was stripped down to her underwear during a police training course was today awarded more than £820,000 after winning a sex discrimination case against her force.
The 40-year-old, who retired after 15 years in West Midlands Police on medical grounds, was awarded £30,000 by the tribunal for sex harassment and discrimination in November.
At the time, Employment Judge Christopher Camp ruled that the former Detective Inspector should also be compensated for lost earnings and pension on the basis she would have retired as a Superintendent at 60.
At a hearing today in Birmingham to determine those figures, a judge ordered West Midlands Police to pay her a total of £820,720.“

Absurd. Speculative, in that who is to say that she would have been further promoted anyway? Also, she left in her late thirties, so could have and can work elsewhere for about 20 years, I dare say, despite having been officially “medically retired“. Also, £800,000+, invested, can buy one or two houses, or be invested somewhere else, maybe bringing in around £80,000 p.a.
Several hundred thousand pounds should, in fairness, have been deducted from that total.

The police should start to take a far greater interest in the fraudulent activities of various online “grifters”, among which is numbered the said Simon Harris, an Essex Jew who has apparently been living off various scams for years; also, the now-notorious “Bootstrap Cook” known as “Jack Monroe” (aka Melissa Hadjicostas), another denizen of South Essex; “Supertanskiii”, unthinking Labour Party partisan whose modus operandi (similar to that of “Jack Monroe”) is to scream abuse at the present hapless and hopeless government (to dupe the donor-mugs) while taking in money under various guises; Julia Grace Patterson: similar, but uses her couple of years (and many years ago) working as a junior doctor to pose as “champion of the NHS” (while taking in monies).
“Something must have gone very badly wrong for @simonharris_mbd to receive £484k of taxpayers money from Essex County Council for performing broadly the same service as @jonmorter, the man who came up with the idea of Facebook-based Essex community groups in the first place, who received far, far less and was promptly shafted as a result.
It seems @kirstyocal and Essex County Council have many awkward and serious questions to answer about who knew what, when, and why so much taxpayer money was paid to one person in a deal that simply does not represent value for money for taxpayers.
Why did the council spend so much on a linked network of low-engagement Facebook pages and groups? What was Kirsty’s role in all this? Who approved the sign-off on expenditure? How was Simon selected as the service provider? Was this just pandemic-induced panic or something more serious? Why did it take regime change at the council for this to stop?
£484,000 at a time when councils are going bankrupt, cutting back services, increasing council tax, and struggling to cope. Absolutely astonishing.
If any journalists in my followers that I’ve not already spoken to would like to cover this story, I’m happy to provide them with everything I have so far.“
Hard to believe. Looks like the grifter has snaffled nearly half a million pounds of Essex taxpayers’ monies. Did he attend the same course (at Grifters’ College) as “Jack Monroe”?
Part of the reason that people like Jack Monroe and Simon Harris etc get away with grifting money is that journalists & high profile accounts publicly support them. They then leave it to the general public to part with their hard earned money. #grifters

LOL at @simonharris_mbd actually deleting his Twitter account. Not just deactivating it, deleting it! 8 years of hard work building up that audience, all gone.
Good grief. That area has changed out of all recognition since I last saw it decades ago.
Looking at the Moorfields Eye Hospital (on the left of that photo), I then took a look up City Road from there to the Angel, Islington, using my favourite Google Earth and Streetview.
The pub (was it The Sportsman, or maybe The Greyhound?), where half a dozen or so League of St. George members used to meet every (?Tuesday ?Wednesday) lunchtime back in 1977/1978, has gone.
I was unsure, looking at Google Streetview, exactly where it used to be but if memory serves it seems to have been replaced by a contemporary 2/3-storey apartment development of some kind). 45 years of urban landscape change.
Thinking back, that pub was an unaesthetic box shape, standing alone, and had probably itself been built over bomb-damaged houses (houses damaged in the early 1940s), sometime in the 1950s.
Not sure whether those gatherings could be called “happy days”, but certainly there was less in-your-face State repression of social-national people; the Jew-Zionist lobby’s infiltration into the “British” Establishment was less obvious, less blatant, in those days.
Recollections? I do not think anyone now, after 45 years, can be harmed if I use the names of those old LSG colleagues (some are no longer with us anyway).
I recall our Secretary, Mary Dowton, who was always there. I believe that she became, though many years later, a published writer on astrology.
Then there was the dark-bearded and amiable Steve Brady, who wrote the Heimdall column in League Review. Heimdall, of course, was the watchful Norse god who blew a horn and wielded a sword: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heimdall]. Steve had served a prison sentence in the mid-1970s for writing the truth, though I do not know the details. His sentence, I think about a year in the end, had been served in Reading Prison (now derelict or redeveloped); previously and famously the temporary home of Oscar Wilde.
Another occasional attendee was Keith Thompson, who now has a Wikipedia page devoted to him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Thompson_(politician). Keith was a not-unpleasant character, whose wife disapproved of his political activities, I think. One day, I was talking to him on the telephone (he was at his home, I think in NW London somewhere), when I heard a loud slapping sound, and he went silent. The conversation then went something like this—
Me: “Hello? Hello?“
Keith: “Uh..uh…sorry, Ian. My wife has just slapped my face with a wet fish...”
A unique conversation, for sure…almost surrealistic.
Keith Thompson was or had been a fairly adventurous fellow who, after National Service sometime in the late 1950s or around 1960 (if so, he may have been one of the last few ever drafted) had travelled the world a bit, and had worked for a while in the uranium mines of Rum Jungle, in Australia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rum_Jungle,_Northern_Territory].
In more recent years, Keith Thompson was accused, I read somewhere, of having spied for Jew-Zionists. I have no idea whether that was the case. Pity if it was. He was always short of money, but then so have I been at various times, and no-one (whether official or Jew-Zionist) has ever asked me to spy (for money or any other reason). It would not suit me anyway. I am a believer…
There were others sometimes present at those pub “seminars” (or should we say, following Plato, “symposia”?) whose names I do not recall. A typical talking-shop, of course, rather than anything serious.
I had and still have my suspicions about who might have been reporting to MI5 or Special Branch 45 years ago, but no proof, just speculative analysis, and my lips remain sealed.
The League had its office near that pub, in a council flat the tenant of which was a League member who lived most of the time elsewhere but kept up the flat for the convenience of the League, though I think most LSG people never went there (The League used a P.O. box and/or a letter-forwarding service). I did visit once or twice, though fairly briefly. My memory, though still good, far better than almost anyone’s in fact, is not infallible, and I do not recall the exact address of that flat (not that it matters now either way); somewhere near that pub; just off the City Road, anyway. The flat probably got sold off privately in the 1980s or 1990s, and is now quite likely worth a million pounds, in the crazed London of 2024.
When I heard likes of Keir Starmer, David Lammy and Emily Thornberry say it was appropriate for Israel to deprive desperate Palestinians of food,water and electricity,it made me realise I have nothing in common with them. Yet they still expect me to vote for them. I say fuck off!

“US money goes to the yachts of Ukrainian ministers, but Washington does not want to admit it – Tucker Carlson.
Ukraine will not win, no matter how much money the United States pours into it, but Washington stubbornly refuses to acknowledge this fact, argues host and political commentator Tucker Carlson.
Moreover, if any politician dares to publicly talk about defeat or corruption in Ukraine, he is immediately subjected to a barrage of criticism: “And if they are angry, it means that you are telling the truth,” Tucker is sure. According to him, only the United States still ignores the fact that Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, and Zelensky is “not the person who should be trusted with hundreds of billions of dollars.”
The American government must admit the truth and stop supporting Ukraine “as long as it takes,” the presenter is sure. This leads not only to the destruction of Ukraine, but also to the deterioration of the lives of Americans: instead of taking care of their people, the US authorities send billions of dollars to Kyiv so that “the next Zelensky minister can buy himself a bigger yacht.”
Quite.
My piece on Britain's housing crisis is now open access for all so you can come to your own conclusions. One thing I've not yet added is the latest Migration Advisory Committee report which also concedes mass immigration is worsening our housing crisis.https://t.co/1CF70yRwpD
We built 180,000 homes in England in 2022 –well short of the 300,000 target. But on current trends we actually need to build at least 515,000 homes just to keep up with the demand from record immigration. This. Is. Insane.https://t.co/pWTmH3Gnnmpic.twitter.com/Lf1vuLVY7k
As blogged many times previously, the people generally (the “moronic masses”, if you like) are being played by the “refugees welcome” dimwits and the overlapping social media (etc) virtue-signallers, and also by the political chancers, such as Rory Stewart (lives in a listed Scottish Borders house he inherited —on about a hundred acres— and in a London apartment or house), who favour mass immigration but will never have to deal personally with any of its negative consequences.

LibDems are just wastes of space. There may be exceptions, but I have not seen any. Ed Davey is only marginally better than was Jo Swinson, and she was rock-bottom in every respect.
Even the old Liberal Party was mostly ludicrous in the post-WW1 (let alone post-WW2) era, though Jo Grimond was an exception: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Grimond.
As to the LibDem chances in the upcoming 2024 General Election, I may be wrong but think them overestimated by commentators. Admittedly, many voters who despise the present Government and who see nothing in Starmer-Labour for which to vote may be looking for a protest vote, and some (those who do not favour Reform UK, the Green Party, or simple abstention may choose the LibDems, but I think not very many.
There are presently-Con seats where Labour has no chance, but where the LibDems often roll in second. Those seats may go LibDem, especially if Labour voters vote tactically. I cannot see the LibDems getting more than 10% overall (2019— 11.6%).
In both 2017 and 2015, the LibDems got below 8% after the years of Con Coalition. There is no possibility for the LibDems to revisit the 23% they achieved in 2010. “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time” [Abraham Lincoln].
However, what matters in UK Parliamentary politics is not the overall percentage, but the percentage concentrated in particular seats, which is why, in 2015, UKIP received 12.6% of the vote but only the one seat it already had, whereas the LibDems received a mere 7.9%, yet retained 8 MPs.
So it may yet be that, in the end, even on an overall 10%, the LibDems, who currently have only 15 MPs, will able to double or even treble their Commons strength.
Meanwhile, if Reform UK gets, nationwide, the same, or even 15%, it will probably end up still without any MPs.
The present pseudo-democratic system is a bad joke.

In the absence of new tranches of military assistance from the United States and the European Union, Ukraine is increasingly concerned that Ukrainian military personnel and military and industrial facilities may be vulnerable to Russian airstrikes, writes the Financial Times.
As Russia intensifies its campaign to strike energy infrastructure and other targets in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky called on Western allies to approve new military aid packages to bolster Kyiv’s depleted air defense capabilities.
According to Zelensky, there are not enough air defense systems both on the battlefield and for the defense of targets in Ukrainian cities. Kiev admits that Russia “controls the sky.”
At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces hope that Ukraine’s receipt of American-made F-16 fighters will put an end to the dominance of the Russian air force and help resume the counteroffensive, which has so far failed to achieve any significant successes.“
Not so many people want to be bothered by real problems, let alone real solutions. The masses want to be distracted by winning or losing sports games on the other side of the world, the latest soap trash on TV, the latest “reality” (unreality) TV show, or whatever.
Also, there are huge numbers of idiots virtue-signalling online or otherwise about how it is “kind” or “decent” to allow a million, or ten million migrant-invaders into the UK, or a hundred million if it comes to that. We have already had ten million, over 20+ years.
Those “virtue-signallers”, the “refugees welcome” dimwits etc are lacking the intellectual honesty to admit that that means the end of our basically decent European society, and the end of opportunities for most British people. It also means a housing crisis, a transport and roads crisis, a gradually-worsening NHS, gradually-sinking (in real terms) pay, State benefits, pensions etc, as well as educational standards falling through the floor.

“A mouse has been filmed secretly tidying up a man’s shed almost every night for two months.
Wildlife photographer Rodney Holbrook noticed that objects he left out of place were being mysteriously put back where they belonged overnight.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw that the mouse was tidying up,” Holbrook said.
“He moved all sorts of things into the box, bits of plastic, nuts and bolts. I don’t bother to tidy up now, as I know he will see to it. I leave things out of the box and they put it back in its place by the morning. Ninety-nine times out of 100 the mouse will tidy up throughout the night.”

Remarkable. Like something from a fairy tale or one of the Brothers Grimm stories.
I hope that the man leaves the mouse a little bit of cheese or some nuts occasionally.
“The study, by the thinktank British Future, projects that the number of ethnic minority MPs is most likely to rise from 65 to as many as 83, with much of this rise expected whatever the actual outcome of the election.
If the number of ethnic minority MPs does reach 75 or more, it will have increased fivefold in a decade and a half, having been just 15 out of 650 in the 2005 to 2010 parliament.“

White people (the people formerly termed “British”) are being removed from Parliament too now. What will be the proportion, both in the population and/or in the House of Commons (and the Lords) by 2030, 2040, 2050? Over-representation in Parliament will be plainly obvious, I think.
In any case, this is the British Parliament, and should only have fully British —in every sense— MPs and (so long as the upper house exists) peers.

“US Treasury Secretary Jeannette Yellen, who is on a visit to China, is criticized for her excessive friendliness, which was expressed in numerous bows at a meeting with her Chinese counterpart.
Diplomatic etiquette experts at The New York Post note that American officials do not bow at all and point out that Chinese Vice Premier He Lifen, to whom Yellen bows glibly, does not respond with a mutual movement. A protocol error that critics will call a sign of America’s weakness.”

Yet another example of the new “diversity” in our poor broken land…
“A bank manager who was unfairly sacked for seeking advice on what to do if he heard a black person using the N-word at work has won a £490,000 payout.
Father-of-two Carl Borg-Neal, 59, from Andover, Hampshire, raised the question during a Lloyds Bank race education training session on July 16, 2021, but in doing so inadvertently used the word in full himself. He apologised immediately.
It left the woman leading the exercise apparently so ‘badly distressed’ that she had to take a week off – a ‘key reason’ for the decision to dismiss Mr Borg-Neal for gross misconduct.
This week, he was awarded almost £500,000 in damages. Added to Lloyds’s legal costs and tax, the bank has a bill of nearly £1million.
The payout is the culmination of a two-year battle to clear his name after working for the bank and its affiliates for 30 years.
He told The Telegraph: ‘I often wonder if I wasn’t a white middle-aged male would I have had to go through everything I went through. There is no way of telling. You are bottom of everything.’“
[Daily Mail]
Another example of the brainwashing that has accompanied the immigration-invasion of the past half-century or so.
Reading between the lines, it is pretty clear that the so called “diversity trainer” in the case was a black, probably West Indian.
“The Belchertown State School in Western Massachusetts, once described as ‘barbaric’ and ‘a hell hole,’ was a place of horror for its patients.
The school, which opened in 1922, housed around 700 students with mental health disorders and developmental disabilities…
…children naked, covered in urine, faeces, and food, with “maggots wriggling inside or crawling out of the infected ears of several helpless, profoundly r******d persons while they lay in their crib-beds.“
Reports suggest that many patients had their teeth removed by staff to make feeding easier.
In 1972, Judge Joseph Tauro of the Massachusetts District Court, unannounced, visited the school to verify Ricci’s accusations. He confirmed the awful conditions, even witnessing “a little girl drinking from a faeces-filled commode.” Tauro dubbed the facility “a hell hole”.”
[Daily Mirror]
Had that place been situated somewhere in Germany in the 1930s, we should still be hearing about it (and, of course, about the supposedly terrible “Nazis”) endlessly. In fact, situations such as Belcherwood were not uncommon in the West in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s etc; Belcherwood was as described at least until 1972, and closed only in 1992, albeit apparently after improvements had been made.
That place was not even in some poor state such as Mississippi, but in Massachusetts, the state so very proud of its liberal progressivist agendas.
History is rarely black-and-white, but many find that an uncomfortable idea.

“The New York Times writes: “The Ukrainian Patriot air defense systems are working: there are chilling explosions and rays of light. America’s air defense systems have allowed Ukraine to defend itself against Russian attacks, but Washington has warned that it will not be able to support Ukraine in this way for long.”
Powerful “protection” of the Patriot air defense system and “blazing explosions” can be achieved by destroying its launchers. The United States can produce several hundred missiles a year, and the number used and destroyed in Ukraine is many times greater.
The United States is overwhelmed by the destruction of valuable missiles and systems in Ukraine and is trying as much as possible to keep new Patriots from being delivered to Ukraine, but sooner or later they will have to make a choice.“

As noted previously on this blog, the demographic aspect is the most important. Ukraine’s population is not reproducing itself. Millions of women and children have fled across the borders, hundreds of thousands of men have been killed, badly wounded, or captured on the front-lines. Many men have also fled from Ukraine in order to avoid military service. Relatively few Ukrainian babies are being born. All of that leaves Ukraine a (failed) state without much of a future.
‘The Conservatives are in deep trouble, they are flatlining.’
While I can understand that many do not wish to vote for no-ideas, Israel-lobby, “Labour” under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, it does surprise me that even 23% of the voters are apparently planning on voting for the surely totally discredited Conservative Party.

“Two amphibious warships are set to be ‘mothballed’ in a move critics have said could spell ‘the beginning of the end’ for the Royal Marines, as the Navy tries to tackle a sailor shortage crisis.
HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark could be retired from active service under plans put forward by Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, according to The Times.
The plans would be designed to help deal with the manpower crisis in the Royal Navy, freeing up more than 200 sailors for other ships – most likely the force’s new fleet of Type 26 frigates when they come into service.
But the move has been slammed by critics who say the ships are crucial to the functioning of the elite commando force, with experts saying their retirement would weaken the Marines by diminishing their ability to storm beaches from the sea.”
[Daily Mail]
Ha ha! In what world does Britain presently need the “ability to storm beaches“? Not the world where the only “storming” of beaches is by migrant-invaders invading the UK.
As far as I am concerned, the armed forces have virtually no useful role in a Britain becoming totally alien, and which soon will have nothing its inhabitants will wish to defend anyway.
Come to think of it, I was just watching an episode of Spooks, a TV series I did not see when it was first broadcast. That led me to thoughts around what use is MI5. The damage (possibly mortal) being done to the UK is not by spies infiltrating government offices, and not by anarchists or others wanting to assassinate MPs etc, but by a tsunami of immigration, and by the cultural trashing of our mass media, publishing, schools etc. About all that, MI5 has nothing to say, and even less to do.

Anyone who thinks that the likely Starmer-Labour government from 2024-25 will be better than the bunch of clowns currently in office is being very very silly.
Having said that, the only way to (“peacefully”) destabilize the failed two-party rigged system in the UK is to destroy at least one major party. The “Conservatives” have volunteered, by their corrupt ineptitude, to be that party. At the upcoming General Election, all that is required is for people to punish the Con Party by not voting for it. Either abstain, or vote anywhere but Con.
Tice, of Reform UK, is scarcely my kind of politician, but he has caught the mood. In a recent interview (a few days ago), Tice made the necessary point: punish (his word) the Con Party, no matter whether voting for Reform UK means more Labour MPs. Labour will almost certainly “win” anyway, and almost certainly with a large majority. Think strategically. Wipe out the Con Party by either abstaining or by voting anywhere but Con.
Good. Another total waste of space gone. I never liked what I saw about or from him.
“He is also a member of the Free Enterprise Group of MPs, founded by Liz Truss, and along with Truss, Priti Patel, Kwasi Kwarteng and Dominic Raab, he co-authored After the Coalition (2011) and Britannia Unchained (2012). The authors of Britannia Unchained claimed that “Once they enter the workplace, the British are among the worst idlers in the world.” [Wikipedia].
So wrote a man who has never done a day’s actual or non-political work in his life. He was even useless as an MP and junior minister, getting sacked at least three times from various portfolios (despite having been one of the least rebellious and most toadying of the Conservative MP-cadre).
Skidmore tries to present an “intellectual” front, but not convincingly. He does not have the horsepower, when all is said and done.
Skidmore, though now claiming to have resigned on a matter of principle, had himself earlier said (in 2022) why he would not be continuing as MP:
“On 26 November 2022, Skidmore announced that he would be standing down at the next general election, later stating in Parliament that ‘my constituency of Kingswood is being formally abolished in the boundary changes and there is nowhere for me to go.’[37][38][39]” [Wikipedia].
Translation: he has been both useless and disliked as MP and junior minister, and no other constituency would want him once his present one is abolished. In any case, there may well be few Conservative Party seats left after 2024.
Skidmore has spun getting kicked out of Parliament (by the time of the 2024 General Election) as a principled resignation, no doubt hoping to be given some lucrative and maybe environment-oriented quango appointment later. He might have been better to wait to see whether he would be in line for a peerage. No chance of that now.
…and the Zionist Jews in the UK, at least those making public statements on Twitter/X and/or on msm, are following that line; as are political doormats such as Starmer and that little Indian money-juggler currently posing as Prime Minister.

“The Tories have been lying —they’ve been gaslighting the British people, promising them one thing while delivering something else altogether.
They promised “lower overall numbers” only to then send net migration soaring to levels that have simply never been seen before in British history.
They promised to “take back control” and restore Britain’s status as a self-governing nation only to then completely lose control of Britain’s borders.
And now –as the latest data shows– we can see that while they promised a high-skill, high-wage, and highly-selective immigration policy that would attract “the best and the brightest” global talent they have instead delivered the very opposite.
They’ve further pushed open the floodgates to a new era of low-skill, low-wage immigration from outside Europe —the very kind of immigration which, as the latest studies show, is a net cost rather than a net benefit to Western economies and welfare states.
They need to stop lying to the British people. They need to level with the British people and admit that what they have delivered since the vote for Brexit is the total opposite of what they promised.
The British people deserve better than this. And it’s high time somebody speaks up and gives it to them. They deserve the truth. And they deserve leaders who will give them nothing but the truth.”

The little Indian money-juggler must be well-aware that most voters (even former Conservative voters) view the state of the country as terrible and getting worse.
If a general election is held “now” or soon, i.e. sometime in Spring 2024, the Conservative Party MP-cadre may be all but wiped out— possibly with only about 50 MPs left, though maybe 100 or, if Sunak is exceptionally lucky, 150.
If, on the other hand, the 2024 General Election is delayed until the winter of 2024, the state of the UK will almost inevitably be yet worse, and therefore the popularity of the (supposedly) governing Con Party will be even lower.
The usual stresses on NHS, transport etc will be even more severe, and the international situation may place greater stresses on the economy. Added to those factors, the migration-invasion will have continued for another year (nearly). On those premises, the Con Party may face not only the possibility but the probability that it will be reduced to something like 50 MPs.
It seems to me, therefore, that the GE will take place in late Summer or early Autumn, before the cold weather again arrives. So about 6-9 months from now. That gives time for Labour to make mistakes.
Even so, it seems unlikely (even in the “glorious uncertainty” of the UK electoral system) that the Conservative Party can hope for an MP-cadre much if at all higher than 100; certainly no more than 150. 150 would be bad for the Con Party (similar, though worse, to 1997 and 2001), whereas 100 or fewer would be seen as disastrous.
For me, perhaps for others in the social-national milieu, the main thing is to break the whole binary electoral system, which presents, every 4-5 years, a false choice to the electorate.
If the Conservative Party is trashed in the 2024 General Election, Labour will be able to form an elected dictatorship even worse than under Blair and Brown. That will lead to popular discontent (when it fails to address the several major challenges facing the UK), with the people even more eager to embrace a new way forward under a new political party or movement, and with the small rump Conservative Party having no credibility as an alternative government.

Ha ha! Not that I myself would do the same (regular readers of the blog will know that I recently joined the convict classes, having made the mistake of thinking that England still had left at least some free speech or freedom of expression).
The American incident reported upon above reminds me of another incident, which happened when I was a Bar pupil (trainee barrister). That must have been in 1992.
The case involved two West Indians alleged to have robbed a petrol station in NW London, using a machete. They had been arrested the same evening, not very long afterwards, in the (alleged) getaway car.
There were oddities in the evidence. The car had been searched following the stop. No money or weapons had been found. Later, at the police station, a further search revealed a wad of cash. A week later, a further search “discovered” a container full of coins (allegedly from the filling station) and a machete. The allegation from the defendants was that everything had been planted.
In fact, though I did not know said little twerp barrister, I recognized him, having been on the Bar Finals course with him (and hundreds of others) in 1987-88. I however had gone to the USA a while after that, so had not been Called to the (English) Bar until 1991; I also qualified at and was Admitted to the Bar of the State of New York.
All this took place at Wood Green Crown Court. As a Bar pupil, in 1992, I was there fairly frequently.
[Wood Green Crown Court, North London]
Both defendants were in custody, having been refused bail prior to trial.
The evidence against the defendants was non-existent, save for that “found” in the car. There was no cctv evidence, no fingerprint evidence, no DNA evidence (this was in 1992, and such evidence was still in its infancy). The (apparently) diminutive Indian cashier in the petrol station had been terrified, and gave no testimony. Neither did the defendants.
Despite the paucity of evidence, the jury came back with “Guilty” verdicts. There was a moment of silence. A member of the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad then gave the judge a rundown of the previous most relevant convictions of the defendants. The judge knew most of that already, as did Counsel, but of course the jury did not. There were gasps as the long list of increasingly-serious convictions was read out, topped finally by the information that the defendants still faced another upcoming trial in which they would stand accused (at the Old Bailey) of conspiring to rob building society branches, armed with sawn-off shotguns.
The judge listened patiently while, for 20 minutes, little twerp barrister attempted to mitigate. My pupilmaster declined to attempt any mitigation. The judge then sentenced the two to exactly the same term— 5 years each.
Another moment of silence preceded an explosion from the dock (behind us) as the defendants shouted out (to the jury) “YOU DOGS! YOU FUCKING WHITE DOGS!“.
The jury members (in fact not all white, there being one black woman and at least one Indian) quailed; I thought that one woman jury member might faint or cry out, though she bravely sat it out. The little twerp Counsel looked nervously over his shoulder, as did my pupilmaster. I had also looked round as the outburst had happened, but now pretended to be writing (in order to seem stoic, I think, pointless and perhaps ludicrous as that was).
The defendants then tried to fight their way out of and over the dock. The judge pressed his concealed button but stayed seated. His face was that “Judicial Livid” (red/purple) that I later saw once or twice at the High Court when a judge did not wholly appreciate my argument…
After a lot of banging, thudding, and swearing, the defendants were subdued by the two prison guards accompanying them. Other court security people then entered the courtroom. The defendants were taken down (to the cells below).
Just a day in the life, as they say.
