[“In Zelensky’s Ukraine, where the population lives in fear of the SBU and forced mobilization, real protests are impossible. Men hide from military recruiters, and women avoid drawing attention to them. Under such conditions, the only protests that can happen in Ukraine are those organized by the government and controlled by the SBU. The latest “protest” outside the U.S. Embassy was fully staged and carried out by the SBU’s Department for National Statehood Protection (DZND) – the department responsible for orchestrating such operations.
SBU Chief Vasyl Maliuk oversees this department.
His deputy, Sergiy Andryushchenko, directly manages it.
Operations are executed by Directorate “M,” led by Andrey Salenkov.
Field operatives: Pelts, Klimuk. The irony is that one of the main sources of funding for the SBU’s actions – including these anti-U.S. protests – comes from American financial aid. In other words, protests against the U.S. Embassy and American policy were literally funded by U.S. taxpayers. Just like U.S. funds were used to build the SBU concentration camp “GYM” and to abduct and murder American citizen Gonzalo Lira.“]

While I am scarcely “pro-farmer” as such, it is clear that the main reason Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves are going after the farmers is because farming in this country is still, almost exclusively, something pursued by white, i.e. English/British people. One of the few areas of life left. Even the Bar, and the Army and Navy, are increasingly non-white.
Starmer-Labour have a fanatical desire to destroy all areas of real Englishness/Britishness left.

Even 6 months ago, the Jewish government of Israel (occupied Palestine) was describing this as a mere and “antisemitic” conspiracy theory. Well, here we are and it seems as if, like so many “antisemitic” “conspiracy theories” and/or “tropes”, this one is, in a word, true.
Looks as if the Palestinian Arab population of Gaza is going to be either entirely killed off or (the survivors) moved God-knows-where into desert camps. It is like a reverse engineer of the foundation myth of the (original) Jews: from the land of milk and honey to a barren desert, possibly in the Sinai Peninsula.
Jewish “human rights” lawyers (of which there are many) will no doubt continue to claim that what the Jews of Israel are doing to the Gazan population is “not genocide“, but that kind of discussion is really akin to the mediaeval Scholastics debating as to how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
One might add that the Jew-Zionist fanatics outside Israel/Palestine, in the UK and elsewhere, themselves claim that as many as 95% of Jews in the UK, France etc support Israel, and that most of those Jews support what the Israeli government has done, is doing, and plans to do in Gaza and other parts of Palestine still inhabited mainly by Arab populations.
“Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas)— latest
I missed this, from 2 months ago:
Almost a year after the whole Jack Monroe debacle began, our nightmare is finally over, and we can make a new start #jackmonroepic.twitter.com/sh6KSobQwg
Regular readers of the blog will be aware that, several years ago, when I first mentioned “Jack Monroe”, the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”, I was fairly neutral, even slightly sympathetic to her. As I found out more about her, about her entirely invented “backstory”, and about how she had lied about almost everything to do with her life and work, I became more critical.
I also discovered that “Jack Monroe” was making thousands of pounds monthly, indeed tens of thousands at times, from hundreds of well-meaning mugs, who were sending her regular donations via the Patreon website. That was in addition to TV, radio, and other appearance fees, book advances and royalties, and money gathered in from other mugs online on the premise that she was going to sue various public figures, such as the MP Lee Anderson.
The above can all be found via the search box on the blog.
Look at that tweet above. “Jack Monroe”, who frequently extracted money from mugs by claiming to be starving, near-homeless, unable to feed her child (who was, in any event, apparently not looked after by her anyway, most of the time), was (despite vast sums having, so to speak, gone up her nose or down her throat) able to offer the vendor of the said property £157,000 in cash.
Look also at how she is, it is said, now working in some (well-remunerated?) role at Southend Council (Essex). Her father, a Greek Cypriot by origin, was a senior fire officer in Essex, and once got her a job answering calls, before she discovered how easy it was to get many times the money from mugs as an outright fraud. Her father is or was also a property rental-owner of some significance in that town, and may be (presumed but I do not know for sure) a freemason. Join the dots.
Essex, particularly South Essex, is a bit of a “rotten borough” in some ways. The County Council was cheated out of £600,000 by a Jew called Simon Harris (aka “Man Behaving Dadly”) a few years ago. Neither he nor “Jack Monroe” have ever been brought to book for their “grifting” and worse.

I made the same points on the blog, and some months in advance of the above…
Many people seem to —shall I say, politely?— echo the blog content in their own online commentaries.
The first tweeter was right, though. “Jack Monroe” is now recognized by most people as a fraud, a con-woman and a total fantasist whose recipes are themselves a fraud, poor in terms of nutrition, far more expensive than claimed, and often looking like a dog’s dinner. All of which I started to notice years ago. What was not so years ago is that the whole “Bootstrap Cook” thing has now been dropped by the msm. Only complete mugs now give “Jack Monroe” any credence whatever.

[“My monologue on today’s The Times at One with Andrew Neil. More at 1pm tomorrow on @TimesRadio.
Eighty years on from the end of the Second World War in Europe and we’re at a watershed in British politics — one of these historic turning points which up-ends politics and radically reconfigures the two-party system as we’ve known it.
Two parties have long been the bedrock of British politics. Conservative versus Whig in the early part of the 19th century. Conservative versus Liberal from the mid-1850s onwards. Conservative versus Labour from the 1920s onwards, especially since the end of the war in 1945.
You will have noticed that, as Whig gave way to Liberal and Liberal to Labour, Conservative remained a consistent presence. Which is what makes this latest rearranging of the two-party deck chairs unique — for the first time in 200 years it looks as if the Conservatives are going to be the victims of a radical realignment in British politics.
Of course we’re really talking England here rather than Britain. The two-party system has been dead for decades in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You could say England is only now catching up with the rest of the country. And transition can be messy.
After last year’s general election and last week’s local elections, England has gone from a largely two-party system to a five-party system. Our first-past-the-post voting system produces a clear winner when only two parties are vying for power. But when our votes are spread generously across five parties, the outcome can be unpredictable and haphazard. Not only will no one party have an overall majority. No party will have anything close to it. So even coalition building becomes problematic. And that carries the risk of becoming ungovernable.
The catalyst in all this, of course, is Nigel Farage’s insurgent Reform party. It takes disillusioned votes from Labour and Conservative alike. After last year’s general election it is second in 89 Labour seats. And after last week’s elections a majority of these Labour seats are now vulnerable. But whereas Reform is on track to beat Labour it is on track to replace the Conservatives, which is why the Conservatives have most to lose. Even traditional Tories now talk privately about the need to have some sort of accommodation with Reform. That could be wishful thinking.
If Reform heads towards around a 30% share of the vote in the polls — it won a bit more than that in actual votes last week — then the Tories will be languishing in the late teens. And far from securing a friendly merger with Reform — would more likely face a hostile takeover.
However the chips eventually fall, the Tory-Labour two-party system would seem to be on its last legs. It’s had a good innings but now looks knackered. Last week showed the Tories have claimed back no ground since their thrashing last July. Indeed they might be losing more. It also confirmed that Labour and its leader Keir Starmer have fallen further and faster in public approval since that landslide victory than any new government in living memory.
The two-party system which gave Labour and Tory alternate turns at power is now widely derided for having delivered a stagnant economy, squeezed living standards, uncontrolled mass migration, broken public services, a remote woke establishment and unbridled net zero zealotry.
Voters might not be sure what they want. But they know what they don’t want, which is more of the same. Which is what propels Reform and the closer it gets to that crucial 30% of the vote the more it will upend politics as we’ve known it. For it’s at around 30% that a ton of seats start falling Reform’s way. Not enough to give it an overall majority. Not enough to give Farage the keys to 10 Downing Street. But enough to be the largest party. Enough to have a veto on who forms a government. Enough to make Farage, always underestimated by the political and media establishment, if not king then the kingmaker.“]
[Andrew Neil]
Late talking point
As Tim Stanley points put in The Telegraph, both parties have decided that the lesson to take from being beaten is to do more of the same. They just refuse to actually listen.

He trashed his family as Prince Philip was dying.. he trashed his family as The Queen was dying… and now he’s trashing his family as both his father and sister-in-law have been battling cancer. Is there a more contemptible public figure in the world than Prince Harry? pic.twitter.com/HmXi4xsq8p
For once, I agree with Piers Morgan. I saw a few minutes of that interview. “The Harry formerly known as Prince” is just a ridiculous weasel. Many hold him in contempt, but few if any want to kill him or even assault him. In other words, he is in no significant peril should he wish to visit the UK, with or without Meghan Mulatta and/or their offspring.
The fact is that, without the accident or incident of his birth, Harry would be totally insignificant and would live in utter obscurity. He has nothing of interest to say, nothing at all.
As a matter of fact, he and the Mulatta are said to have hundreds of millions of dollars, so if he wants to employ a bodyguard (or a whole team) when in the UK, he and the Mulatta have the means to do so.
I noticed, for the first time, how very close together are Harry’s eyes; looks like some kind of genetic defect. Very strange. There is evidently something not quite right about Harry, mentally, but I have no view as to whether that has been caused, or triggered, by his marriage to, and apparent subservience to, the Mulatta. Perhaps he was always like that under the surface. The few times I saw him on TV, when he was a young officer or ex-officer, he always looked to be in good spirits, superficially.
His military service seems to have consisted of about 8 years in uniform as a junior officer, including a total of about 6 months deployed in Afghanistan, flying helicopters. He saw action a few times, apparently (that is to say, killing opponents on the ground from his attack helicopter…).
Thinking idly about it, it seems to me that Harry chose the right title for his book of memoirs— Spare. He now has no real function or role in the world. His situation reminds me of that of Vronsky in Anna Karenina, when Vronsky and Anna are in self-chosen exile in Italy, after having left Russia. Homesickness. Frustration. Relationship problems.
Incidentally, it infuriates me (though certainly not enough to want to kill or injure him, or even to —much— criticize him!) that Harry whines constantly about his life, his expenses, his little upsets, and the death of his mother (when he was 12), which last must have been very upsetting but which, after all, took place in 1997, 28 years ago! The man is now 40 years of age!
What I mean is that so many people in this world, indeed in the UK, are poor, suffering in various ways, wishing for a better life and/or a better society, and all this featherbedded nonentity can think about is his own comfort, security etc, and his unmerited wealth.
Never a word about the struggles and problems facing the British people.
In fact, in some ways I have more time for the Mulatta. At least she knows what real life is, having had to struggle, make a living for herself etc. Harry probably finds it a challenge to brush his own teeth.
I just have no time for him.

Well, it has taken several years, but at last my prediction of terminal decline for the main System parties is coming to pass, and evidently so.
Late thoughts on the recent by-election and local elections
One thing that struck me, looking at the pro-Labour or anti-Reform Twitterati, is how readily they describe, contemptuously, those who recently voted Reform as being “thick as mince“, “thick gammon racists” (the irony…), or “thick c**ts“, while often posting cartoons or AI-produced pictures of supposed Reform voters (shown as tattooed skinheads drinking cheap canned beer while draped in Union Jack flags, or wearing football-club clothing).
You would imagine that the opposite would be seen as more true, i.e. that repeatedly voting for the same System parties that have been driving the UK into the ground for decades (and especially since about 1989) might be seen as unintelligent or, in a word, stupid.
In fact, it is clear —as said often over the years on the blog— that many self-describing “Left” partisans have no real ideology left, only the wish to censor and attack even mildly nationalist people.
All those pseudo-socialists have left is that wish to “deplatform” others. They have no real ideology or principle left, and their preferred System party, Labour, is quite plainly just one face of a Janus-faced “uniparty”. Where is the real or significant difference between Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel “Labour” and the “Conservative” Friends of Israel governments of 2010-2024?
Such people seem to think that the voters in places such as Runcorn should be grateful to have a Labour-label government, whatever its policies, and whatever its actions and defects.
People did not, most of them, vote actively for Reform (in terms of ideology or policy), they voted Reform as a way to hit back at both Lab and Con, and as a way of trying to change a political and economic system that is no longer working for them. No social-national party of the slightest significance exists at present; Reform is the next-best option.
I see that, beyond Starmer-stein Labour propaganda trickery, nothing will change in terms of stopping the migration invasion, stopping the migrant-invaders taking over both social and private housing (paid for by the State out of taxation of the British voters); and nothing will improve in any significant way (if at all) for the British people economically.
Reform will rise up from here and, if it then founders, or fails, real social nationalism will then take up the baton. Raise the banners!
I firmly believe the UK is now hurtling toward a major political earthquake. Look at the numbers in the latest polling, compared to the general election last year.

[“I firmly believe the UK is now hurtling toward a major political earthquake. Look at the numbers in the latest polling, compared to the general election last year. Amid the worst cost-of-living crisis since the Second World War, soaring and uncontrolled immigration, deteriorating public services, a glaring lack of social integration, and a succession of scandals that have rocked the Labour government, from the rape gangs to Freebiegate, voters are now on the move. Compared to the 2024 general election, Keir Starmer and Labour are down more than 10-points on just 24%. Kemi Badenoch and the Tories are down 2-points on just 22%, showing no sign of recovery. And the Liberal Democrats are up 1-point, averaging just 13.6%. But now look at Reform. As we’ve been predicting and analysing in our newsletter for two years (showing why people are voting Reform and the areas where it is building strength), Reform is now up 11-points to 25%. And that’s not all. As I explain below, Reform is now hitting both the Tories but especially Labour in unique and powerful ways, looking set for a major breakthrough as it inherits the post-Brexit realignment.”]
Yes, but Reform can only be a transitional party, existing in the space between the existing System parties and a social nationalist movement which, as yet, does not exist.
The next big test will be the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. 9 days from today. Those voters could make history. Will they?

In rough terms, at the 2024 General Election, Reform scored about 2 votes out of every 12 cast. Labour got 4 out of every 12, the Con Party 3 out of every 12. In fact, 8 out of every 20 eligible did not even vote, so Labour was endorsed by only 4 out of 20.
About half of those Labour votes were cast by people who now realize that Starmer-stein lied to them about almost everything. That is why Labour (supported mainly by non-white voters) is now around the same level as Reform UK.
The unfair FPTP electoral system gives the false impression that only a tiny fringe supported Reform at GE 2024; in fact it was over 14%, and the Conservative Party, with all its money and history (and in government until the General Election) only scored 23%.

Widespread and angry political dissent is not going to go away even if Reform does. Popular discontent will simply find another channel to flow down. Another party, or a new movement of some kind, perhaps a social-national movement which goes beyond being simply a political party.

Lucy Connolly's appeal isn't until the 15th of May, 10 months after her tweet, remind me how quickly the former Labour MP @MikeAmesburyMP , who beat the shit out of a constituent and was only jailed for 10 weeks, took to get an appeal.
That brought to mind another Lucy— Lucy Letby. I have never claimed that Lucy Letby is either innocent or guilty of the crimes wherewith she was charged. I do not know, and have not much followed the case in any detail.
However, I did say on the blog, after she was convicted, that she seemed (from what little I had read in the msm) to have been found guilty on the basis of rather loose circumstantial evidence (which is not necessarily wrong, if that evidence is or was sufficiently probative).
Now I note that some fairly weighty opinions are saying that Lucy Letby might seriously be not only victim of a miscarriage of justice but actually innocent. I neither agree nor disagree. I have not looked at the matter in anything like enough detail. However, there lurks a feeling that, maybe, she is in prison without having actually done the crime(s).
The underlying reality is that the NHS is now largely a skeleton service, and those always loudly supporting it on ideological grounds, no matter what it does wrong, or fails to do right, are not serving either the NHS or the British public.

“She lived 3,500 years ago – but facial reconstruction technology has brought a woman from late bronze age Mycenae back to life.
[“The digital reconstruction of a bronze age Mycenae woman. Photograph: Juanjo Ortega G.”]
The woman was in her mid-30s when she was buried in a royal cemetery between the 16th and 17th centuries BC. The site was uncovered in the 1950s on the Greek mainland at Mycenae, the legendary seat of Homer’s King Agamemnon.
Dr Emily Hauser, the historian who commissioned the digital reconstruction, told the Observer: “She’s incredibly modern. She took my breath away.
“For the first time, we are looking into the face of a woman from a kingdom associated with Helen of Troy – Helen’s sister, Clytemnestra, was queen of Mycenae in legend – and from where the poet Homer imagined the Greeks of the Trojan war setting out. Such digital reconstructions persuade us that these were real people.”

Hauser, a senior lecturer in classics and ancient history at the University of Exeter, said: “It is incredibly exciting to think that, for the first time since she was laid beneath the ground over 3,500 years ago, we are able to gaze into the actual face of a bronze age royal woman – and it truly is a face to launch a thousand ships.
“This woman died around the beginning of the late bronze age, several hundred years before the supposed date of the Trojan war.”
A digital artist, Juanjo Ortega G, has developed the lifelike face from a clay reconstruction of the same woman that was made in the 1980s by Manchester University, pioneers of one of the major methods in facial reconstruction.“

Well, according to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that translates to a Commons with 191 Lab MPs, 171 Reform, 154 Con, 67 LibDem (SNP 3 etc). Truly a hung Parliament. Any Labour minority government would need either Con or Reform support to govern, and that would be unlikely (unless Reform were to extract a Proportional Representation law as the price of passage). As for Reform, even with Con support it would still be 1 seat short of a formal majority.

80% of Britons say courts should have the power to ban people from standing for election if they are convicted of crimes related to elections or holding office, after French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was banned from standing for election for embezzling EU funds
The question bamboozles the naive respondents. It assumes that the definitions of the alleged crime(s) are correct, and that the court deciding the question of conviction is not itself political or politicized, or politically-influenced. The poll is therefore meaningless and, in fact, dishonest.
“What the Marine Le Pen case reflects is how the elite class is now trying to push us into ‘post-democracy’— a new era in which power, influence and legitimacy are taken out of the hands of the people and put into the hands of a small, unelected, unaccountable elite.
[“What the Marine Le Pen case reflects is how the elite class is now trying to push us into ‘post-democracy’— a new era in which power, influence and legitimacy are taken out of the hands of the people and put into the hands of a small, unelected, unaccountable elite.
This new elite —which spans the political, media, legal, and creative class— not only decides what values and voices are permissible and socially acceptable but is now, visibly, reshaping the parameters of our political systems so that its ongoing and extreme ideological project —radical liberal progressivism enforced through a technocratic managerial class—cannot be disrupted, opposed or diluted in any meaningful way.
As the likes of Christopher Lasch predicted more than thirty years ago, the next major revolt that would reshape the West would not be one that sees the masses rising up against the elites but the elites rising up against the masses.
This is what we are now witnessing across the West, through the rise, spread and enforcement of things like the ‘censorship industrial complex’, hate laws, concept creep, the removal of anti-establishment candidates from the democratic realm, and the use of social norms and taboos to continually discredit conservative, populist, and gender critical views that are entirely legitimate but which the elite class consider unacceptable and so work to stigmatise if not shut down.
In this way, in post-democracy, our once representative political systems, the public square, our institutions, our civic culture are all hollowed out so that they only ever serve and reinforce the values and voice of an elite minority, rather than the forgotten majority.
Ordinary citizens, in this way, are not only stripped of their democratic power but are also forced to live with the dire effects of this project, including mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, radical Islamism, sectarianism, and more.
This is what is now unfolding across much of the West. This is what millions of ordinary, taxpaying, hardworking, patriotic people can now see and feel. This is what millions of people are fighting against”.]

It takes courage —or desperation— to vote for something revolutionary, or even anything really radical. Germany is, even now, not ready for national revolution; neither is Britain.
Germany and Britain are both nearly ready to support something fairly radical— AfD in Germany, Reform UK in Britain (leaving aside the fact that Reform, at least, is basically “controlled opposition”), and we shall see what happens in the next 4 years.

I think that we can now take it as read that, barring accidents, Russia and the USA will not be getting into a nuclear war. Whatever one may think of Trump, in that respect God must be with him, to put it in conventional terms.
That leaves the European powers. The only ones of significance are the UK and France (mainly because of their nuclear weapons), Poland, and Germany (Poland because of the size of its army and its probable morale, Germany because of its large amount of up-to-date transport, armament etc).
The UK and France would be mad to try to threaten the use of or, a fortiori, deploy in combat nuclear weapons. Any nuclear response by Russia would destroy Britain utterly. As for France, the same applies, except that France is nearly 2.5x the size of the UK.
I think that what we are looking at (unless there is a real armistice Russia-Ukraine, which is unlikely) is a continuation of the war, with the UK, France, Germany supplying even more arms, armament, and money to the Kiev regime, but probably failing to plug the gap left by withdrawal of most American assistance.
If the Americans also withdraw their intelligence aid to the Kiev regime, Russian forces will find their progress in the war easier.
The Kiev-regime side is now very short of actual “boots on the ground”. It is even thinking of extending the draft to those aged 18-24, so far immune from conscription.

[“British MPs have taken down another picture of Nelson, the greatest naval commander in history, a man who died for his country, and put up a picture of Yvette Cooper who cannot even control our borders. It is a powerful symbol of all that is wrong with Britain.”]
If I were an MP, I should put my boot through Cooper’s portrait.
A modest 5/10 this week, not much better than the 4/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I knew the answers to questions 1, 2, 4, 5, and (just) 8.
Contemporary Britain— a country where the least able have been put into positions of high responsibility which they are totally unable to properly fulfil.
“I can’t get my head around this… Labour promised to clean up politics—then took loads of dodgy freebies, handed jobs to their mates, and approved contracts for major donors. They said their top priority was growth—now they’re tanking the economy. They vowed not to raise taxes—then hit us with £40bn in tax hikes, and there’s more to come. They said they would freeze energy bills—now energy bills are rising. They said they’d stop the boats—then scrapped our only deterrent and introduced more pull factors. They said they’d look after farmers—then tax them out of existence. They claimed they’d keep us safe and be tough on crime—then released dangerous criminals from our prisons instead of deporting foreign offenders. They claimed there was a £22bn black hole and ‘difficult decisions’ were needed—then increased spending by £70bn, spent billions on foreign aid, and billions more on illegal immigrants. They said they would respect Brexit—now they want to align us closer to the EU. They said, ‘honesty is the cornerstone of the Labour Party’—then lied about Southport and everything else on this list… and more. I could go on… This Labour gov’t is the most incompetent, heartless, anti-British, hypocritical, and dishonest in history. We need a general election. NOW!“

The reason I disagree with that (leaving aside the extra point that I never use the old and outdated “right/left” stuff) is because the original tweet fixates on the fact that FPTP voting “punishes division“. What is important is what is happening beyond the crumbling walls of the Westminster monkeyhouse.
At the 2024 General Election, over 40% of the eligible voters did not vote, many no doubt out of disgust with the whole system and the System parties.
Out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote. Only 4 out of every 20 voted for fake Labour, and probably half of those did so because a “Conservative” candidate was the only apparent alternative.
Labour’s incompetent and freeloading ministers, and its Labour Friends of Israel leading cabal, may think they are sitting pretty on their very large Commons majority but, outside the walls of Parliament itself today, 100,000 protesters were demanding the release of “Tommy Robinson”.
Robinson is “controlled opposition”, of course. So be it.
The rise of Reform UK (despite Farage’s unreliable history etc) shows anger at the way Britain is going. For Labour, and Westminster Bubble drones, to look only at numbers of seats and at the way FPTP voting distorts public opinion, is very short-sighted.
At present, it seems that, yes, Labour may be the largest party in the Commons after the next general election, but even if Reform UK fails to dislodge Labour from that position, it may well come second and thus become the Opposition. That would in itself destroy the basic structure that has been in place for over a century.
The likelihood at present (with the Con Party still embedded in some parts of the country, as are the LibDems, and both likely to get 50-100 seats next time) is a hung Parliament and thus a weak Labour minority government, though if Reform does really well, the outcome could be a fairly weak Reform government, backed up by the surviving Con MPs.
Outside the supposedly-hallowed walls of the Palace of Westminster, though, the English/British people are murmuring. The Tommy Robinson protest, the summer 2024 protests, the now-constant stream of trials of social-national people who have said or done the (politically) “wrong” things (and then been entrapped by System police, MI5, the “Clown” Prosecution Service, and the System judges) speak to underlying discontent.
Reform UK, Tommy Robinson etc, are merely part of the journey, not the destination.
There may come a time, not so far down the line, when what happens in and around Parliament becomes only the outcome of what happens outside Parliament.
As to Goodwin’s comment above, I agree, but I also tend to agree (sort-of) with Lenin: “A revolution without firing squads is not worth much.”
“The Queen would never have allowed this to happen“…What universe does that tweeter, “@Lotus 17”, live in? The late Queen died only 3 years ago…Does that tweeter really think that the decline of the UK has only happened since 2022? Try (at least) 1989.
Woodrow Wyatt, in his diaries [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wyatt#The_Journals], expressed the view that, inter alia, the Royal Family did not care whether Britain descended into poverty and general decline, because they, the “royals” would still be sitting pretty atop of it all, and insulated from the badness with which almost everyone else would be contending.
When I read Wyatt’s diaries, 25+ years ago, I thought that his point about the “royals” was arguable but maybe too harsh. Now I agree completely. Look at Charles, desperately trying —and failing— to fill his late mother’s boots. Look at tame thick princeling William, no doubt at least, or somewhat, well-meaning, so be it. Look at even thicker princeling, Harry, “the Harry formerly known as Prince”, not forgetting Meghan Mulatta. All of them signed up to the crazed “multikulti society”, all willing to pay lip-service to “holocaust” propaganda etc.
As I said they would, Labour is now loosening not strengthening Britain's borders by removing barriers to illegal migrants becoming citizens and no longer requiring scientific age checks
You might as well put a big neon sign on the White Cliffs of Dover that reads "come on in!"
If the already-rigged “democratic” process becomes even less honest, even less responsive to the needs of the British people, then the whole Parliamentary system will have to be bypassed. Action directe…
It may be, though, that the Reform UK upsurge will lead, before too long, maybe by 2030, and against the will of Reform’s leaders, to a further movement of the “Overton Window”…to a huge revolution of social nationalism.
Talking point
The BBC is one example of that.
