Diary Blog, 1 July 2026, including thoughts about the unnecessary stupidity of provoking war with Russia

I was in Karlovy Vary in 1988, though for less than 24 hours and did not see that colonnade. Pity.

Morning thoughts

Looks as though billions of pounds are now going to be wasted on “defence”, and to be entirely spent on confronting Russia. Everything else, from pensions to social security, to rail and road improvements, to education, to the NHS and elder social care etc, is going to be sidelined so that the New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government (NWO/ZOG) can prod the Bear.

Russia has 6,000-7,000 nuclear weapons. Is that a country the UK should be provoking? I say no, and Russia in any case is not our enemy, unless the “British” government(s) make Russia our enemy.

In the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, even 1980s, there was justification for both the existence of NATO and for British defence against a real Soviet threat, however overplayed it often was, of an invasion of Western Europe by Warsaw Pact forces. That threat does not now exist.

We have seen how Russian forces have struggled over the past 4 years to subdue even the ramshackle armed forces of the Kiev-regime dictatorship. What in that leads those who pretend to lead the UK to conclude that Russia might invade any more of Eastern Europe, let alone Central or Western Europe? It’s mad.

Actually, why on Earth would Russia want to take over the gradually (steadily) crumbling British society, even were that possible? Russia has no need to rule Britain’s ever-more-crumbling cities, full of blacks and browns.

We are told that Russia may wish to re-absorb, in some form, the Baltic States or pribaltika, and maybe parts of present Moldavia. So? Actually, I doubt it anyway.

I have always supported the right of the Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians (and, indeed, Moldavians) to self-determination, especially culturally, also politically, but the only reason why Russia is now in Cold War-style opposition to those states is because they now belong to NATO, and persist in hostile actions against Russia, actions taken after “consultation” with NATO states (i.e. NWO/ZOG).

There are evil powers in the West pushing for war with Russia. The UK is a large part of that, as can be seen by the fact that huge donations (sometimes called “loans”, but non-repayable, in reality) have been made by the UK and EU to the Kiev regime, and that despite the crying needs of the British people, from whom necessary monies and services have been cut off, with more fake “austerity” to come.

The only real invasion of Britain (and Western/Central Europe) happening, or even likely to happen, is the migration invasion, a deliberate flooding of white Europe by blacks and browns. The “British” government is not only not stopping that, but actually facilitating it, by providing non-Europeans with free houses, money, services etc. It’s treason, in ordinary language.

The Soviet Union had an expansionist military doctrine, a supremacist ideology (Marxism-Leninism), and very powerful conventional military forces, as well as sometimes very effective intelligence agencies. None of those even apply to contemporary Russia.

My preferred policy would be for the UK to leave NATO (which outlived its usefulness by the mid-1990s), and to cultivate closer relations with Russia. We would get cheap or even cost-price oil and gas, as well as a huge market in Russia for British goods and services. We should also be able to redeploy the billions set to be wasted on armament to projects and services, and infrastructure, seriously needed here at home.

Let’s reset British-Russian relations.

[“Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, set up astroturf groups to persuade advertisers to boycott the Canary website and so stifle close-to-the-bone criticisms of Starmer. The Canary has suffered financially ever since.

Now Lloyds Bank has inexplicably de-banked them.

Don’t expect the British establishment to play fair. It’s got a democracy to hollow out, a genocide to support, and a planet to pillage.”]

Nigel Farage was “de-banked” by Coutts, of course (though had it reversed, and collected compensation). Sam Melia, his wife Laura Towler, Mark Collett and others also suffered in the same way, via high street banks.

A kind of crypto-police state harassment of people, making their lives very difficult for socio-political reasons.

The banks are merely instruments. People, some in those banks, others elsewhere, made those decisions; individual people, and small groups. They should be sought out, identified, punished.

Morgan McSweeney I have already assessed on the blog (use the search box for more). Jewish lobby. Israel lobby. Labour Friends of Israel. Mandelson cabal. Epstein cabal.

[“When the Fukushima nuclear disaster forced thousands of people to flee in March 2011, they left with only what they could carry.

Homes were abandoned, farms were deserted, and countless animals were left behind. Many owners believed they would be back in a few days.

They never imagined they would be gone for months, or even forever.

For those animals, every passing day meant more hunger, more loneliness, and less hope.

But one man couldn’t walk away.

His name is Naoto Matsumura. After evacuating, he made the heartbreaking decision to return to the radioactive exclusion zone around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

While the world saw an empty, dangerous place, he saw thousands of innocent lives waiting for someone who might never come.

Every day, he fed abandoned dogs, cats, cattle, ostriches, and other animals that had no one left. Many had spent days searching for the families they had lost. Some ran to him for food.

Others simply stayed close, as if they finally felt safe again. With no electricity, limited supplies, and constant risk, Matsumura devoted his life to caring for creatures that the disaster had forgotten.

His selfless compassion earned him the nickname “The Guardian of Fukushima’s Animals,” but to the animals he rescued, he was something even greater.

He was hope.

In a place where so much had been lost, one man’s kindness reminded the world that even in the darkest moments, humanity can still shine through.

Faith in humanity restored.“]

Burnham already shows every sign of being a disaster even worse than has been Starmer-stein.

Not only the ghastly James Purnell, but even the horrible Alan Milburn are apparently advising Burnham now.

May not be so of all Jews, or even all prominent Jews, but it certainly seems to be a widespread sentiment encountered with, or among, many.

Attrition is still slowly wearing down, and grinding down, the forces of the Kiev regime.

Jacqui Smith. Expenses cheat. Labour Friends of Israel. Anti-free speech.

Apparently, the unpleasant Alan Milburn [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Milburn] is also being brought back into government by Starmer.

We can already see the road being taken by the Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship. Cabinet members who are not even MPs (which has always happened, but not I think to this extent), and a likelihood of policies imposed with little or no consultation.

I covered the appalling Jess Phillips on yesterday’s blog, and have also done so in years past (see, for example, https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/07/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-jess-phillips-story/).

A female Deliveroo rider who bit a customer’s thumb off in an argument over pizza has escaped jail.

[defendant]

Jeniffer Rocha caused Stephen Jenkinson a ‘permanent, irreversible injury’ while delivering him a Pizza Express order in a ‘reckless’ attack, a court heard.

Mr Jenkinson, 36, and Rocha, 35, had a brief argument over a delivery code before the Brazilian Deliveroo rider bit his thumb off.

Rocha, a married mother of two who was making deliveries on her moped as a replacement rider for her husband, admitted grievous bodily harm in March on the eve of her trial.

On Friday, at Salisbury Crown Court, Wilts, she walked free from court as she was handed a 16 month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, by a judge who accused her of ‘excessive self defence‘.”

Peter Hitchens is a confirmed political spectator, and has certain fixed views, one of which seems to be a huge over-valuation of the importance of voting every 4-5 years. He thinks that MPs are terrified of their voters voting them out. No, because they have incentives to vote according to other motivations, such as lobby money, outside “work” as “consultants”, party discipline (careerism), possibility of a paid “peerage” down the line etc.

Another Hitchens characteristic is that he is very fixated on the “two main parties” set-up which has dominated British politics (with LibDem and SNP distractions) since the Second World War and to a large extent since the First World War.

Hitchens seems to think that it was wrong for the public to turn to Reform UK, and that it would have been better to have had a Labour government with a much smaller majority.

I disagree. That would change nothing, and the UK needs to change (though not in the Starmer-Labour way). Hitchens seems to support a different kind of Conservative Party, if possible, but you cannot put new wine into old bottles.

Regular readers will know that I have little time for Farage, let alone Tice etc. They are not social-national. However, their Reform UK project has moved the “Overton Window”, and has started to break up the rigged political system that has been in place all of my life.

Hitchens is right in saying, as he does, that Reform UK is just Farage, but you could have said that about, say, on a higher and more significant political level, Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP.

As Rudolf Hess said, famously, at Nuremberg in 1934, “Die Partei ist Hitler, aber Hitler ist Deutschland wie Deutschland Hitler ist!” [see https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6uajey at 1:43:00].

For me, Reform UK is but one means to an end, not the final destination.

I wrote an assessment of Hitchens some years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/19/peter-hitchens-and-his-views/.

Does Hitchens really imagine that Starmer-Labour is or will be worse than (or even very different from) the “Conservative” governments of the past 14 years?

In his 1991 book Geschichtsdenken im 20. Jahrhundert (Historical Thinking in the 20th Century), Nolte asserted that the 20th century had produced three “extraordinary states”, namely Germany, the Soviet Union, and Israel. He claimed that all three were “abnormal once”, but whereas the Soviet Union and Germany were now “normal” states, Israel was still “abnormal” and, in Nolte’s view, in danger of becoming a fascist state that might commit genocide against the Palestinians.”

Good grief. What a list! Only one or two are even European. Suella Braverman of Indian origins; James Cleverly of mixed African and English origins; Kemi Badenoch, Nigerian; Priti Patel, East African Indian origin; Tom Tugendhat, quarter-Jewish; Robert Jenrick, possibly fully-English (uncertain); Victoria Atkins.

So leaving aside the obviously non-Europeans, that leaves only Victoria Atkins [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Atkins], Jenrick [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jenrick] and Tugendhat [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Tugendhat].

Speaking personally, if I were in any case a Conservative, I should find Jenrick unacceptable by reason of his seeming (?) corruption, his Jewish personal links (not just his wife, his social circle, which seems to consist largely of Jewish business sharks), and his poor judgment in office.

Tugendhat? Apart from his part-Jewish origins, he is very very keen on support for Israel and the Kiev regime. Also, I am always suspicious when someone, especially from a privileged background (his father was a High Court judge), has a large hole in his or her CV.

Tugendhat seems to have graduated in or about 1994, then spent a year (?) getting a Master’s degree in Islamic studies. After that, he spent a brief time as a journalist on an English-language newspaper in Beirut.

We next hear of Tugendhat about 6-7 years later, in 2003, when he is gazetted as a Territorial Army officer (after a month or two, joining the Intelligence Corps); as of 2013, Lt.-Colonel in the Int. Corps. He was also working, ostensibly for the Foreign Office and in a civilian capacity or role, in Iraq in 2005.

As MP and minister, Tugendhat has been associated with both “security” matters and allied matters of so-called “extremism”. He seems to be hostile to free speech, especially about Israel and the Jewish/Zionist lobby.

Well, one can draw one’s own conclusions.

Not much to say about Victoria Atkins. A barrister by training, and married to a multi-millionaire who is a director of numerous large companies, including British Sugar.

I cannot see any of the above appealing to the British voters.

The only Conservative Party MP for whom I would have any time at all would be David Davis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Davis_(British_politician)], who at least has proven that he has principle, respect for civil rights and, also, courage. He, however, is now 75, and may not want to lead that rabble anyway.

I am rarely sorry for System politicians.

Yes, that is the point. Despite the “arrangement” concluded by the System parties and the other anti-French parties, the RN hugely increased the number of RN deputies elected.
