She even wrote a chapter of a book funded by Israel about the 1940s “holocaust” farrago. Why do you think she was promoted to a Cabinet job she has no ability to properly fulfil? This is not a Labour government, as once understood, it is a Labour Friends of Israel (mis)government.

Diary Blog, 1 October 2025, with a few pithy comments about David Lammy and others

Morning music

Morning thought

Some years ago, I realized that “nothing works properly any more” in the UK, and both tweeted (when I was still on Twitter, i.e. until 2018) and blogged about it. Others probably came to a similar realization at about the same time.

Since then, political activists, including Reform UK people such as Farage and Matt Goodwin, among many others, have taken up the refrain. In fact, it is now heard everywhere.

I encountered a “small” (but telling) example yesterday.

In the past, meaning until a year or two ago, doing some minor transaction in a bank was simple. You went in, there were several cashiers (or, in the American usage, tellers) there, you did your business and left. Easy. Now? For one thing, in the UK, you cannot simply pay a small sum in cash into someone else’s account. Oh, no, that might facilitate “money-laundering” (we are told), so you have to go through the slightly tedious process of paying the said sum into your own account, then transferring the money into the account of that other person.

Now, the banks have found other ways to make life difficult for their own customers. On entering the bank branch in question, one of only two left in the high street of my local small town, I saw the branch fairly crowded —usually, there are only one or two people there (and one cashier, where there used to be three or four).

Anyway, I paid in a modest sum to my own account via a machine. That went OK, but then I had to get the sum transferred to the destination account. That used to mean approaching someone sitting behind a desk. They would then do what was necessary in about a minute. Now? Oh, no, far too easy…

Some drone with a name-tag round his neck (one of several seen hanging about yesterday) approached me with an electronic tablet of some kind, and informed me that customers now had to “sign in” with their names… I gave him my name. He entered it on his device. He then informed me that there were 4 or 5 people ahead of me, and would I like to take a seat and wait… I had no time to waste, so gave up the idea and walked (maybe stomped) out.

What is this utter CRAP all about? The drone in question (not one of the usual staff, so obviously bussed in, with others, for this display of pointlessness) had asked me whether I do online banking. In other words, the banks want people to go online (only) and are making it awkward to do even the simplest things in person at a branch.

One small example of how everyday life in the UK has become —has been made— increasingly awkward, difficult, fraught. There are countless others, and the aim seems to be to reduce the individual to a number and a password on a screen, a kind of virtual (in either sense) serf, in short.

What I experienced yesterday was an example of deliberately “nudging” bank customers to go away and go online. The branch (in fact, all branches) can then be shut down, closed, sold off, the few remaining staff made redundant, and the quite grand building sold to become, probably, a bar or bistro.

Incidentally, opening hours have also been reduced; the branch is now open only 0930-1530.

Anyone who replies that bank opening hours were always about 6 hours a day misses the point that, as late as 1970, only 25% of British people even had a bank account (true, believe it or not).

The general dissatisfaction with UK society (and, so, politics) is not only fuelled by the black/brown migration invasion, or by other big issues being appallingly-incompetently —or deliberately-badly— handled, but by the fact that everyday life is now bedevilled by pointless, time-consuming, and utterly inflexible procedures and protocols, the aim of none of which is to help the individual, and still less to serve him.

As said, a small example of larger trends.

Simply appalling. This is what the pro-Israel Jews (numbering, according to the Jewish Zionist propagandists themselves, about 95% of all Jews in the UK at least), and pro-Israel non-Jews, are supporting.

In the end, whether you call it “genocide” (which it obviously is) or not is an academic argument. The fact is that the behaviour of the Israeli Jews has been more than appalling. Inhuman. The behaviour of “the simulacrum of the human“, in fact.

Over the past 2 years, 200,000+ Gazan Arabs, mostly civilians, mostly women and children, slaughtered or grievously injured (amputations, blinding etc), as against 1,000-2,000 Jews killed or captured by Hamas operatives on one day or two days in 2023 (many of which victims were in fact killed by Israeli forces operating a scorched-earth or free-fire protocol).

That is even before you consider the pathological behaviour of the Israeli Jews, killing —and deliberately killing— or deliberately crippling, children (etc).

Appalling. Again.

One group, spread across the world, and particularly the “Western” world, is the main enemy of humanity and its future. It is not the Muslim, or even Islamist, element, whatever their own flaws.

The whole basis of the question is wrong. Meaning, what is the definition of “racist” anyway, and does anyone (outside the Labour Party or the msm) give a monkey’s flying ****?

Speaking of “racism”…

Lammy is entirely ignorant, and as thick as two short planks.

A Russian proverb says that “an ape in a silk suit is still an ape“. [discuss].

What does it say about our society that a stupid ignorant creature such as Lammy is now “Deputy Prime Minister” and also joke “Justice Secretary” and “Lord Chancellor”, as well as being a Bencher of my old Inn of Court, Lincoln’s Inn, at which I myself am now persona non grata (by reason of having been disbarred at the instigation of a pack of conspiratorial Jews), and am without position or rank?

You decide. I already have.

[“Keir Starmer claims Nigel Farage is to blame for the boat people because Brexit took us out of the Dublin Convention (in 2020), which allowed us to return asylum seekers to the EU countries from whence they came. The PM is either ignorant of the facts — or knowingly lying. Neither is a good look. The Dublin Convention was a two-way street for asylum seekers. Yes, we could try to return them. But others could also be returned to us. As a result the Dublin Agreement actually made us a net recipient of asylum seekers. Take 2018. We made 5,500 requests for asylum seekers to be returned. Only 209 transfers were agreed. In the same year, under the same convention we accepted 1,215 asylum seekers. So we were net recipients by over 1,000. The Dublin Convention did nothing to make it easier to return asylum seekers. Nearly all politicians are cavalier with the truth when it suits them. But Starmer is taking this to a new level.“]

Starmer is worse than an “elected” dictator— he is an “elected” tyrant. What should be done with him? I merely pose the question.

Those (mainly in and around the Labour Party) who talk glibly about “improved processing“, “safe and legal routes” etc (for migrant-invaders) prefer to ignore (or do not even know) that, under the present laws and structures, as many as 800 million migrant invaders might have a “legally valid” claim to asylum in the UK. 800 million!

Translation— Reform 367 MPs, with a very solid Commons majority; Labour 98; LibDem 63; Cons 54; SNP 36 (etc).

What Dan Hodges means is that, on those results, about 314 Labour MPs would lose their seats (as would 97 Con Party MPs).

She was always a fake. Set up some company selling lingerie, which went bust a few years later, but by that time had networked to great effect, being “ennobled” by David Cameron-Levita before the lingerie hit the fan, so to speak. She was living largely off her House of Lords taxfree allowances and expenses, and a few TV appearances, for quite a while, but then met some very wealthy business parasite and married him.

Personifies several of the negative aspects of 21stC UK society.

Notice how the Jew Miliband refers to “our communities“. He is still pushing the deluded ideas about happy shiny multikulti “communities” in a happy shiny raceless cultureless Britain (in a similar Europe).

As for him telling Elon Musk to “get the hell out of ‘our country!” , the British people are shouting that, not at Elon Musk but at, among others, the migrant-invaders and the cosmopolitan parasites, including those bankrolling Starmer-stein.

[“Who voted for this insanity? Who voted for the largest population increase in the UK for nearly a century? Who voted for 98% of this population growth to be driven by mass immigration?

Who voted to add a city the size of Leeds to the country in just 12 months? Who voted to add nearly 800,000 people to the UK while building only 200,000 homes?“]

You only have to look at the recent Labour Party Conference to see how utterly isolated the present government and its unthinking, corralled supporters are. Labour is around 20% in the polls, and at least half of those intending Labour voters, maybe as high as three quarters, are actually not really British at all. Blacks and browns, so to speak.

My own assessment is that the (real) English/British people have pretty much given up on the Labour Party. That, however, is also true of the Conservative Party, surprisingly up slightly to 20% in that poll, but as low as 14% in some others.

I was talking to an elderly lady who lives in one of the most solid Conservative Party strongholds in the South of England. Apparently, all the other elderly people she knows, almost all of whom who used to vote Con (the odd LibDem too), are now determined to vote Reform when they can; all of them.

Anecdotal, yes, but a straw in the wind that seems to mirror the opinion polls of the past 9-12 months.

[“So many people have argued with me online about Digital ID “What do you have to be afraid of, if you are not a criminal?” “It will be convenient and is only for interacting with government departments” Yet, here it is: on the Gov website in the UK. They have explained it in advance. This will be linked to all areas of your life. If you ignore this now, you can never go back to the life you have today. Take a stand against Digital ID.“]

I have blogged about all this, years ago. My point was that, at first at least, it will not be compulsory to hold digital ID. As with smartphones, computers, online this and that, you will not exactly be forced to comply. It is just that everyday life will become impossible without all that. Life is already difficult without smartphones, online access etc, but you can still just about do it, though only at the (literal) expense of paying more for less. In the near future, you will pretty much have to drop out of society if you do not wish to go along with the tide.

Starmer has gone further yet, in saying that he wants to make digital ID mandatory. Perhaps he has given away the game by speaking openly about this aspect of the overall conspiracy, and the System will now revert to slowly making life impossible without it, that is until a better opportunity arises to make the entire population digital serfs on pain of imprisonment or death (eg by the withholding of food or medical care —you may be unable to buy food unless you have the digital ID, you may be refused medical treatment etc).

[“This is insanity from the NHS trust in my constituency – ‘women and people who are pregnant’. No. Women get pregnant. NOT MEN. Utter nonsense. I have contacted the trust chief exec demanding for this to be removed, and an urgent clarification to be issued. Men do not get pregnant. Women get pregnant. This is not complicated. I have had enough of this woke garbage. This needs to be corrected, now.“]

That nonsense is still embedded in many public bodies, charities etc. As with so many other aspects of the dystopian conspiracy, the fake “Covid” “pandemic” (scamdemic; panicdemic) was the template for forcing an alien and inhuman culture and society onto us.

We should all be in this to make Great Yarmouth a better place to live and raise a family. That’s the only thing I’m interested in – it’s why I’m donating my entire MP salary to make it happen, alongside all other efforts. We will find another home for the donation… I will always put Great Yarmouth first.“]

Can someone explain“…how a Pakistani woman of very slight legal background (a Bar pupillage of a year, followed by a couple of years working for a firm of solicitors) was appointed as Justice Secretary and also, “Lord Chancellor” (a now-meaningless title), and is now Home Secretary? This country has become a bad joke.

Ha ha! I love the way that these phenomena are looked at either with bemusement or frustration by so many msm scribblers and talking heads. They, many of them, simply cannot understand that many, perhaps most, (real) British people are angry and disappointed with the old parties of the System, and so are ready to vote Reform.

If Reform takes power and fails, those same voters will vote social-national, many of them, if a social-national party arises. The “Overton Window” is moving, and fast, as fast as the country slides to dystopian chaos.

Reform may or may not get beyond 35% in the polls by the time of the next general election, it may even stick at about 30%, but if Lab and Con are stuck around 20%, Reform wins, handsomely. “In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king“, after all.

Can’t see Nigel Farage there, though…

Also, as “The Wall Street Journal” notes, launching “Flamingo” missiles requires large investments for which Kyiv does not have the funds.“]

Thought for the day

The so-called “Glorious 12th”, start of the grouse season. A “sport” of which I disapprove, so good luck to all grouse today.

There are those who claim that shooting helps conservation of a number of species [see, e.g. https://www.sykeshousefarm.co.uk/news_stories/why-grouse-is-becoming-more-exclusive-than-ever/] but I feel that there are other ways to do that. In the end, I just feel that to take pleasure in shooting a creature, a warm-blooded one at that, is morally wrong.

In the years 2002-2008, when I was a barrister based in Exeter and (2002-2006) living on the Cornwall/Devon border, prime shooting territory, several of my colleagues in chambers shot. I recall one incident when one member of chambers shot a pheasant which then fell on the head of either his wife or someone else’s wife (I think the latter), the lady in question being knocked out as a consequence.

I cannot now recall whether the shooter was or was not the person who later had an affair with the lady in question, who later left the one barrister for the other (causing a big kefuffle in chambers, as might be imagined; however, this being England and not Texas or the Caucasus, no-one opened fire on anyone else, and no blood was spilt).

Awkward, and I quite liked all three members of chambers involved (one involved simply as another gun on the fateful day; the lady involved was not a barrister, though I think that I did meet her once).

In fact, as someone who does not interfere with other people if it can be avoided, and because in those years I spent half my time at my then home in Finistere, or elsewhere, I was apparently the only member of Chambers for some time unaware of the personal upset that had occurred (though I had heard about the earlier, pheasant-caused, injury).

For once, I agree almost entirely with everything Andrew Neil says there.

“They” dislike any of their activities being exposed to the light of day. Not only in the Middle East; in the UK and elsewhere as well.

Terrible. I spent several days at Canakkale town in 2001, having driven from England (and then on to Mediterranean Turkey), a more difficult drive at that time than it now is, Turkey, in the past quarter-century, having constructed all sorts of motorways and bridges where none previously existed. Also, most of the states of Eastern Europe were then not in the EU or the Schengen Zone.

He has worked for the Zionist Federation, the Campaign Against Antisemitism and been a member of the Board of Deputies as well as other genocidal Zionist groups; Hotovely had dinner with Lord Bew, the former ‘Marxist’ from the north of Ireland who went on to advise Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble, and the Zionist fanatics at the Islamophobic Henry Jackson Society; Neil Blair had a phone call with Hotovely.

Interesting. Quite a coup, to get hold of the diary of someone as well-guarded as that.

The Jewish/Israel lobby, though very active even in the 1980s and 1970s, was not then the powerful and corrupting force it is in 2025. Not just in politics and law, either. You see the cultural aspects of it in magazines, newspapers, and on radio and TV etc.

Ukraine news

In what may prove to be a major breakthrough for Vladimir Putin, Russian sabotage and reconnaissance units punched through exposed defences in eastern Ukraine, slipping as far as six miles behind the front line in just 48 hours, according to battlefield reports.

Kyiv has diverted special forces units to confront the insurgents on the ground in an attempt to prevent any more of Ukraine falling under Russia’s control before the summit in Alaska.

The location, near Dobropillya in Donetsk, is strategically significant. If Moscow’s forces are able to establish a foothold, the breach could allow Russia to cut off the city of Kramatorsk, one of the most vital strongholds in the Donbas still under Kyiv’s control.

If the city falls, it would give Putin almost full control over the Donbas and strengthen his negotiating power when bargaining over Ukraine’s fate with the Trump administration.

As predicted on the blog, the Kiev-regime front is fast crumbling.

Currently, according to Bild military observer Julian Repke, the fate of 29% of the territory of the Donetsk region, which remains under Ukrainian control, is being decided.

My assessment of Owen Jones (from 2019):

Stunning.

The Israeli Jewish government (like that of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev against Russia), is desperate for the USA to weigh-in against Iran directly. Israel cannot win its war (which, after all, started when Israel attacked Iran without warning) without American help.

Hundreds of replies to Starmer-stein’s tweet, but few if any positive. He is a disaster. His Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment is a disaster.

Incredibly, even after Sunak, Truss, Johnson, May, and Cameron-Levita, that is true.

Cut off the supply of arms, ammunition, and money to the Kiev regime. It will then collapse very quickly, within weeks.

On its own, the Kiev regime fails and falls. It needs NATO to come in on its side. Thankfully, that will probably not now happen, thus saving Europe from another historic round of devastation.

Absolutely mad. The people of the EU states will thus become poorer without having achieved anything in return for that sacrifice.

The people of England want to stamp “the old parties” (as Mosley termed them ) into the ground. Conservative Party. Labour Party.

Reform UK is disliked by many, and many (including me) find its policies inadequate, but it is the only game in town right now, and can pave the way for a real social national party later.

Thinking ahead, if/when Reform is in a position of power, perhaps after 2029, and if Reform itself then fails, the moment for social nationalism will have finally arrived.

[“It occurs to me that Reform’s success may well accelerate a day of reckoning in the UK. The cynic in me feels the mass immigration that’s happened, has placed a sleeping army throughout the country, it doesn’t need to act yet, but once it’s deemed that the British people are finally pushing back, that day of reckoning may well happen because it’s clear now that Reform are a credible force to gain power and that will conflict with everything that’s been planned by those facilitating the immigration.“]

Facilitated by those, or some of those, who live, and profit, in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, France and other countries.

Meanwhile, “the usual suspects” wail about supposed defaults or crimes committed (or not committed, or not committed on the scale they claim) in Germany, Poland and elsewhere in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and more than 80 years ago.

Macmillan Cancer Support is to scrap its £14m-a-year specialist advice service, which helps tens of thousands of people every year, in what has been described as a betrayal of vulnerable patients.

The cuts were received with shock and anger by welfare advisers, who said the depth and expertise of the service were irreplaceable, while the timing – before the government’s £5bn cuts to disability benefits, which are the single biggest focus of Macmillan-funded welfare support – could not be worse for cancer patients.

“I just don’t understand why they are getting rid of a service that so many thousands of people rely on, while at the same time, hiring senior people on large salaries.

“I get why cuts may have to be made, the climate we are in, but I don’t understand why the welfare advisers are the ones to be cut, why the frontline has to be cut, when there are so many senior people sat in offices discussing strategy and in meetings all day.”

[“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.“]

Saturday quiz

Difficult questions this week. I scored 4/10, but even that very modest score was enough to trump that of political journalist John Rentoul, who managed only 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 5, 6, and 7. I came close (in my opinion, anyway) to getting no. 2 as well.

Talking point

Interesting. Well worth an hour of anyone’s time.

I liked the comment from a 90-something ex-soldier who said that, looking at Britain in the 21stC, he wishes that Hitler had successfully invaded in 1940 (in fact, there never was a serious plan to invade the UK: Hitler wanted alliance with the British Empire, not to conquer it. “Operation Sealion” [Fall Seelowe] was never more than a contingency plan and/or a smokescreen with which to lull Stalin into a false sense of security prior to Barbarossa).

I also liked the several comments by old soldiers now wishing that they had fought for Hitler.

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

They should have been kicked into the gutter and stamped on. They are nothing but sub-terrorists, using their age and sex as a shield.

Just Stop Oil is a pathetic excuse for a cause or ideology; worthless.

Those ridiculous old “entitleds”, crowing about their “Christian” faith, will try to destroy a (genuine) “national treasure”, but probably welcome the migration-invasion which will destroy this country and its society long before any “climate change” (however caused).

Typical msm scribbler thinks that “govt” can “solve poverty”. That depends on various other factors. In the case of the UK, you have importation of around a million unwanted immigrants every single year now, a fact which scribbler Paul Lewis ignores. Simply ignores. As if to say “million immigrants a year? Irrelevant. Just build more houses for them” (for these mostly useless parasites). Oh, and give them cash, and medical services, and schools for their offspring (etc).

4 million? Try 12…(and, by 2034, 25M, or more).

I doubt whether scribbler (posing as an economist) Paul Lewis has much real expertise in the economics of a state or a society (about your electricity or gas bill, maybe; I do not know).

Both lots of demonstrators are deluded in their own ways.

I used to go to Brighton Beach (New York) occasionally. Early 1990s. It was a largely Russian-speaking neighbourhood then. There was a large shop selling good bread, and pickled herrings and cucumbers etc.

I usually arrived on the”El” from Manhattan.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

Macron is an idiot. France would not survive war (totally pointless and unnecessary war) with Russia. One Sarmat-2 missile might take out, i.e. destroy, about 90% of the whole of France. I value France, where I lived for 3-4 years; I do not want to see that beautiful country destroyed.

Macron is yet another puppet of the Israel/Jewish lobby: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/, my assessment of Macron from 5+ years ago.

Worth reading the explanation.

That case is a good example of how some Jewish lawyers abuse the English legal system. See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/.

Mr Justice Nicklin said this in another case: “It is likely that this error occurred because he [Mr Lewis] had simply failed to carry out sufficient (or any) research or to take adequate instructions from his clients.

[per James Wilson]

Dishonest and incompetent…

Both Mark Lewis and Daniel Berke are fanatical Jew-Zionists. Lewis even lives, some or most of the time, in Eilat, Israel.

As said, both dishonest and incompetent, in the case of Lewis. As to Daniel Berke, I have no idea of how competent or incompetent he is in the civil law field (I read that he is a criminal solicitor), but on the face of the above, he seems as incompetent as Lewis.

As I opined some time ago, there seems to have been professional negligence on the part of Lewis, and that may now apply to Berke as well.

Incidentally, Berke also opines about “antisemitism” being connected to “mental illness”:

Seems that Berke’s knowledge of both “antisemitism” and mental illness is as sketchy as his knowledge of civil procedure seems to be. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/ [updated consistently], in which I examined the incontrovertible links between Jew-Zionism, Jewish “antifascism”, and mental illness.

Yet anywhere hosting anti-Zionists, whether political (London Forum, Patriotic Alternative, Keep Talking etc), entertainers (Alison Chabloz, Gilad Atzmon), metaphysical speakers (eg David Icke) or whatever, will be “hounded” by packs of Jews such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], “Hope not Hate” (“HnH”] and others.

When will the Daily Mail (etc) cover that story? Never…

Fair enough, but Neil is completely at one with Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby, and the Jewish element has been the driving force behind the attack on freedom of expression throughout the Western world: so-called “race relations” and “anti-hate” laws (designed to shut down socio-political debate), “holocaust” “denial” laws (designed to make aspects of modern history off-limits to both non-Jewish historians and members of the public) etc.

Incidentally, should anyone wish to help defray the costs of my own recent free speech trial, the crowdfunder is still open: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.

Could Andrew Neil be more craven? All his money, yet no real independence, in my opinion.

Like Andrew Neil (pre-2024), I have never watched Eurovision and (unlike Neil) do not intend to change my habit today. I have no interest at all in the Israeli contestant, positive or negative, or in any of the other howling freaks and noisemakers taking part.

I did notice that Denmark’s entry is an African! Not even a beautiful one. “Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad“…

The number of foreign mercenaries participating in the conflict on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has decreased by two thirds compared to March 2022 , writes “Business Insider”.

“Half of the mercenaries come from Latin American countries hoping to make money. They are there for money,” said Carl Larson, a former American soldier who fought in Ukraine.

He also admitted that, while he was in Ukraine, he realized that foreign mercenaries would not be able to stop the Russian forces and that they could only delay their advance “perhaps for an hour“.

Why would any organization want to subject its staff to a programme of socio-political brainwashing by Jew-Zionists, especially a dishonest and malicious pack such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]?

The next time that the “CAA” “executives” Falter and Silverman give sworn testimony in a criminal or civil legal case, they should be robustly cross-examined about finances, including how much they themselves are being paid for their disgusting activities.

The “CAA” is effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London.

There must be an investigation into, not only that recent piece of street theatre by Falter, but also into, and more importantly, the hooks that the “CAA” cabal have got into the police, CPS, TV people, radio people, and newspaper scribblers, not to mention both “Labour” and “Conservative” political facades, right up to the little Indian money-juggler presently posing as Prime Minister.

That chart shows very clearly just how disastrous, economically, the war with the German Reich was for Britain. If only Britain had had real statesmen able to see ahead, unlike stumbling, bumbling Churchill, whose military and naval ideas were rock-bottom (Gallipoli in WW1, and in WW2 Norway, Greece, Crete, Singapore etc), and whose social ideas were antiquated and unreal.

As the under-rated historian Correlli Barnett said in several of his books, after 1945 the UK had the choice of trying to maintain its worldwide Empire and being a major power, and/or of regenerating its economy and particularly its industrial manufacturing sector, and/or of creating a Welfare State. Only two (any two) of the three were possible of full achievement, but Britain tried to undertake all three simultaneously; that strategy failed, or partially failed. It had not the means (because of the War) to succeed in all three. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett.

Entirely typical of “them”. In the UK, such harassment and covert hostility is undertaken in a similar manner, mainly via Jew-Zionist groups such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

Apart from all the other lies of Gideon Falter, if he claims that he was taking a stroll after having attended a synagogue, that must also be untrue. Other Jews have said that Falter was out and about long before what the Jews call “schul” would have ended.

Also, as a former long-term near-Central London resident, I am unaware of any synagogue in the area around where Falter was performing his political street-theatre nuisance (in Aldwych); and even if I am wrong on that, as far as I know Falter lives mainly in the St. John’s Wood neighbourhood of NW London (quite close to my one-time home in Little Venice, London W9). There is a large synagogue in St. John’s Wood Road, and another one in Lauderdale Road, Maida Vale. Both far from the Aldwych/Kingsway area of London; miles away. How would any stroll take him that way, even forgetting about the ex-MOSSAD security staff and the film crew?

Falter, like all his “CAA” co-conspirators, is a liar, and an abuser of the legal system (and mainstream media) of this country.

Insp Parker-Phipps, whose laptop battery was “dying”, put the order in place at 10:00 GMT on November 26, but accidentally dated the form for November 24.

Mr Robinson’s defence lawyer, Alisdair Williamson KC, told the court there had been a “litany of catastrophic errors” in the Met’s handling of the incident.

Questioning the inspector, Mr Williamson said: “This document is not correct is it?

Can we have any confidence that there was a lawful order in place?”

To which the inspector replied: “No.”

Giving his ruling, District Judge Daniel Sternberg said: “I am not satisfied there was a legal authorisation.

“There is no case for you to answer.”

The hearing was attended by numerous supporters of Mr Robinson who filled the public gallery.

[BBC]

So the policeman directly in question, of the rank of inspector, wrongly-dated the crucial document? He also admitted —without equivocation— in court not only that he had wrongly-dated the document but, further, that that probably meant that the Order purportedly authorized had thereby been rendered unlawful.

What an unusually-helpful police witness. “Tommy Robinson” must have been born under a lucky star. Or something.

Much truth in that, but the elephant in the room that “Robinson” never mentions is the pervasive Israeli and Jewish influence in the UK.

Like Katie Hopkins, and a whole host of other “alt-Right” and similar activists, Robinson always seems to take the Israeli/Jewish/Zionist side of a false dichotomy.

There is a Jewish police organization which seems to have plenty of influence: see below— “CAA” liar Gideon Falter influencing (?) former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick, at Scotland Yard:

Finchley Road, so again in that Swiss Cottage/St. John’s Wood part of London.

No different from what Jewish terror squads did in Palestine/Israel in the 1940s. They blew up buildings, kidnapped and murdered British soldiers, and “ethnically-cleansed” whole villages, towns, and cities.

In Europe, Jewish terrorists even tried to poison the water supplies of London and some German cities, as well as attempting to bomb London indiscriminately, trying to kill as many British people as possible.

Incidentally, such Jewish terrorism, and other “activism”, did not come about by reason of the events of the Second World War. In 1933, as soon as the NSDAP under Adolf Hitler came to power, the web of “World Jewry” declared war on the new Germany. They, if you like, drew first blood.

Australia now is very different to the affluent and generally relaxed country I saw in the late 1960s. Controlled and tied down in so many ways, and far more stressed. Sydney itself has twice or more the population it had back then (then about 2M, now 5M+).

Another aspect that strikes (and puzzles) me is the almost caricature “Aussie” accent many now sport, including most of their politicians. That never used to be the case, not to that extent, as far as I can recall. There was a “strine”, yes, but it has become more accentuated, in fact almost become a joke, as one can hear from the woman in that clip.

From the newspapers

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mum-asked-man-pub-guess-32649993

A furious mum glassed a man in the face at a pub after he guessed she was four years older than she was.

Joanne Dodd launched her attack on Carl Cooper after he suggested she might be 43, when she was actually 39. The pair were having a light-hearted exchange in a Manchester pub beer garden before Carl went to the toilet to try and get away from an offended Joanne. But when he returned, she ran towards him twice and pushed her wine glass into his face, leaving him with a 10cm cut that narrowly missed his eye and needed stitches, as well as an injury to his thumb.

Manchester Crown Court heard Dodd was suffering from ‘low self esteem’ and was drinking heavily at the time of the attack. The mum-of-one pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm, facing up to three years in jail under sentencing guidelines. But Judge Elizabeth Nicholls instead gave her a suspended sentence, explaining that despite there being no excuse for the crime, she could see that Dodd, who has no previous convictions, was a ‘hard working woman’, ‘loving mother’ and posed ‘no risk to the public’.

Dodd was sentenced to 12 months in prison, suspended for 12 months and was ordered to complete 180 hours of unpaid work and pay £800 in compensation to her victim.

[Daily Mirror]

So a woman who twice pushed a glass into the face of (what seems to have been) a complete stranger poses “no risk to the public“?

I suppose that it could be argued that the sentence is not unjust: the victim will (presumably) get that £800, and 180 hours of serf labour is pretty stiff, but the idea that such a defendant poses “no risk” is surely demonstrably untrue.

I suppose, also, that the only way to test the verdict of that judge is the method suggested by the judge to the jury in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial by Jury:

she says that when in drink, he hits her and kicks her; well, gentlemen of the jury, let’s make him tipsy…and see!

I think that the courts must start getting tough on violent crime, including violence committed in social settings such as pubs, and not infrequently by drunken women these days.

Ha ha. If that little twerp thinks that the millions of Ukrainians now living in Poland, Germany, and many other countries are going to return to the brutal, corrupt, and shambolic dictatorship of Zelensky and the regime in Kiev, let alone join its ebbing armed forces, he is living in a land of fantasy.

Either this summer or later, there will be a general advance by Russian forces, moving north and west across Eastern Ukraine; perhaps even an approach or “podstup” near to Kiev itself, which region is now heavily defended.

The Kiev-regime forces are now entirely on the defensive, without the ability, troops or other means to attempt an advance, still less any offensive, after the failure of the last and half-hearted one in 2023. All they can do is launch occasional missile attacks on Russian territory, with the aim of causing a certain amount of damage to refineries, train lines, bridges etc.

Talking of American “Christian Zionists”, when I lived in New Jersey, over 30 years ago, one would often see cars carrying bumper stickers, occasionally amusing. One such was that proclaiming “If the driver of this car disappears, he has gone to Rapture“, “Rapture” being the idea that the religiously “Blessed” will all be taken up and protected by higher powers as the world in general is destroyed.

Actually, there were several bumper stickers seen back then that I found amusing, such as “My wife— yes. My car— maybe. My gun— NEVER!“, and the short and rather bitter “Jane Fonda— American traitor bitch“.

Most English people do not go in for bumper stickers, though I saw one many years ago in Cornwall that said “Too close for missiles; switching to guns“, which I took to be a former Naval person of some sort.

I’ll admit it: I never really expected the Tories to cut migration by much, despite their promises. But I also didn’t expect them to double it. In fact, net migration has more than doubled since Covid. In 2019, about 227,000 more people arrived than left the UK. In the year ending December 2022, it was 745,000.

[that’s “more than tripled“, not merely “more than doubled”]

One might explain that extraordinary figure as a product of one-off factors: a catch-up after the pandemic, plus the Ukraine and Hong Kong schemes. But as of this week we have another half-year of data. In the year to June 2023, net migration still added an astonishing 672,000 to our population. So this is not an anomaly.

It is a further, massive liberalisation of Britain’s economic and social model after a period in which voters have made it overwhelmingly, blisteringly clear that they want to tighten it.

• I don’t know plan to cut arrivals, says Badenoch

The rationale, as ever, is the fiscal bottom line. During the past couple of decades migration has increasingly been the lever pulled to smooth out structural problems in our economy, but never has it been used so dramatically. The latest uptick in numbers is driven primarily by the recruitment of overseas care workers, who were made eligible for visas only early last year. Within months, care workers began to account for a third of all long-term work visas granted by the entire British immigration system.

Why did this happen? The government’s migration quango, the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), stated that visas might be used as a “temporary” measure to make up for the inability to recruit immigrants from the EU. But this “temporary” measure has led to a surge in care workers far greater than we have seen before, this time from India, Nigeria and the Philippines rather than eastern Europe. Like the previous surges, it will no doubt permanently alter the labour market.

The main effect is to prevent wages from rising and working conditions from improving. The MAC has stated for years that we do not have enough care workers because care homes don’t pay them enough. Turnover in the sector runs at 28 per cent, creating a constant need for overseas recruits.

Unfortunately, instead of solving the shortage, the new recruits mainly replace current workers. As Miriam Cates pointed out in parliament this week, the UK recruited 70,000 care workers last year but vacancies in the sector only dropped by 11,000. Meanwhile, 20,000 British staff left, making the workforce ever more reliant on visas, which in turn gives employers greater power to exploit staff and effectively shave wages further. So much for this being a temporary fix.

In most sectors, of course, we would demand to know why employers are not fixing the problem. During the chronic shortage of lorry drivers after Covid, the spotlight rightly fell on the haulage industry, which had not delivered a real-terms pay rise in the UK for more than a decade. The usual suspects declared that solving the problem without much higher migration was impossible because modern Britons are constitutionally ill-suited to driving lorries. Instead, the industry began handing out massive bonuses and the government granted more licences. Miraculously, the shortage eased.

Why can’t the care sector do the same? Quite simply, because its biggest customer is the government and the government won’t pay up. It would rather let the sector run on knife-edge margins and loosen visa requirements. In other words, it is cannibalising its own supply chain in the manner of the most short-sighted and rapacious corporate.

The stupidest part is that this will probably end up costing money rather than saving it. The data suggests that whereas EU migrants tended to pay more in taxes than they received in benefits, non-EU migrants are, on average, net recipients from the tax system. This is particularly true when they bring dependent family members, as many on the new visa scheme do, and work minimum-wage jobs, as in the care sector.

Worse, despite overseeing a huge increase in annual migration, the government has made absolutely no plan for how it will build the additional infrastructure, housing and public services capacity needed to make sure the new workers have everything they need. The Treasury does not account for these costs at all on the bottom line. Perhaps that is because it knows the government cannot build this stuff anyway — in which case, the economic cost will be reflected in overcrowding, rationing, queues, rising rents and a general deterioration in living standards.

As should be obvious, none of this is the fault of the workers themselves. And if I had a close relative in care, it is the attitudes of the staff that would interest me rather than their home continent. This is not a question of judging individuals by their background. It is a question of numbers, the pace of cultural change and the economic model this country aspires to build.”

Woke” is a pseudo-religious belief system which views minority groups as sacred, is hostile toward the majority, subordinates individual rights behind fixed group (racial/sexual/gender) identities, opposes the objective scientific method in favour of subjective “lived experience”, & expands speech codes (“hate”, “racism”, etc) to erode free speech and try and silence critics in the name of “social justice”.

In some respects, Matt Goodwin talks a lot of sense, but his apparent adherence to the Jew-Zionist lobby rules him out, politically.

The “CAA” goblins, admitting once again (they have done so several times) that I was recently prosecuted only because they applied political pressure for that over the past two or three years.

They also admit that the “CAA” has been secretly pushing for my prosecution (on various trumped-up charges) since at least 2016, and have admitted on their website that Jew-Zionist-lobby puppet “lord” Ian Austin (the former expenses cheat MP and Israel puppet) had actually written to the Director of Public Prosecutions demanding that I be prosecuted.

Apparently, this was because tweets on my then-existing Twitter account (closed in 2018 after more pressure from the same Jew-Zionist lobby) were supposedly “antisemitic”.

Ironically, the “CAA” thus shot themselves in the foot, because the closure of my Twitter account in 2018 meant that the CPS did not have evidence sufficient to charge me —as the “CAA” and suborned police idiots wanted— with a more serious offence —absurd though that would have been— that of “incitement to racial hatred“.

Soon, the Online Harms Bill will be law. Under that law, I could not have been prosecuted at all (because “harm done” will apparently be the nub of the new law and, in my recent prosecution and trial, the Crown Prosecution Service admitted from the outset that there had been no harm done by the 5 allegedly “grossly offensive” blog posts allegedly published). Neither were they able to produce even one notional “victim”.

I suppose that the “CAA” goblins will then have to invent some “harm done” so that they can continue to repress free speech via a supine or suborned police and CPS establishment.

I did, or did not do, the same, was never affected or (maybe) infected by “Covid”, despite being a great deal older than tweeter David Morgan.

Bravo.

…and, were I to do the same (on the blog), I should probably have the Hampshire Police (“cosplaying” as a more polite kind of DDR Stasi) at my door again (as has happened several times in the past, the last such having been in 2021).

I agree. Both my (slightly younger) brothers, both amateur sportsmen all their lives, both without previous serious medical conditions (one living in the UK, one in Australia), had emergency heart operations in 2022. Both survived (one had a triple by-pass) and recovered. Anything else? Oh, yes, both had had multiple “Covid” pseudo-“vaccine” shots…

What can one say? Our political system is totally broken. A total moron such as Esther McVey can be appointed Cabinet minister only because the political system is at rock-bottom.

Idiots like her, however, are taken care of by the corrupt System even when the voters chuck them out, as happened to Esther McVey in 2015. Having lost her Commons seat, she spent 18 months as Chair of the British Transport Police Authority, despite knowing nothing about either policing or transport.

The failure of Europe to keep pace with America has taken its toll on living standards. The average EU country is now poorer per head than every state in America bar Idaho and Mississippi.

The latter, the poorest state in the Union, is often referred to as America’s Third World but — with an average per capita annual income of $50,000 — the citizens of Mississippi are better off than their counterparts in France.”

[Daily Mail]

While I am no fan of the EU, the above is a typical example of how journalists twist the facts. Yes, per capita, France is “poorer” than Mississippi, but that is merely a headline figure.

In France, citizens get free and, until recently, quite good education, not only free at primary and secondary level, but also at tertiary level— universities, les grand ecoles, institutes etc. In Mississippi, higher education has to be paid for, either in cash or via student loans.

In France, medical and dental care of high quality is available via a hybrid State insurance system with a safety net for the unemployed, elderly etc. Hospital wards were done away with 40+ years ago. In Mississippi, there are areas without much healthcare at all and, despite Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare etc, health insurance is almost essential, if you or your employer can afford it.

Then there is the finance-capitalist system generally, and how it results in inequality of capital and income. In France, despite inequalities, there are relatively few people in grinding poverty; not so in Mississippi, where the top few percent take most of the money.

Beware of what newspaper scribblers tell you.

More “trans” nonsense.

Residents ‘gobsmacked’ as horse and carts race through Bournemouth.

Footage sent to the Echo shows youths sat on the back of a cart attached to horses in the Lower Gardens, underneath the flyover at Pier Approach. 

Concerned residents feared there could have been injuries or even a fatality if the horses had hit somebody, so phoned the police.

One resident, who asked to remain unnamed, was walking around the town when he came across the bizarre sight on Saturday, July 22.

I was just concerned because had there been a little child, or pet, or mother with a pram came running down, the horse would have gone into them and there could have been a fatality.’

The man said it was the first time he had seen anything similar in more than 30 years of living in Bournemouth.

However, he didn’t want people to have negative attitudes towards travellers.

[Bournemouth Echo].

Isn’t that so typical of England in 2023? Nuisances, in this case “travellers” (Irish “tinker” “gypsies”), make life difficult and less pleasant (and potentially dangerous) for normal citizens, but nothing is done about them, the police do nothing, and even the concerned citizen who reported them felt obliged to say that no-one should have “negative attitudes” towards the nuisance group.

The System propaganda, endlessly pumped out by most msm outlets, by schools, by the churches (what’s left of them), and by MPs (especially Labour ones) has seeped into the thinking of many many people.

When I started this blog, nearly 7 years ago, I thought that the UK could be saved; now, I feel less sure every day.

See my blog from yesterday.

HS2 was a wrongheaded concept anyway. The high-speed train idea is OK in much larger countries such as France or China, or very elongated countries, such as Japan. Chile would be ideal. Not in the UK, unless the train were to go London to Scotland, or maybe to Penzance; the present plan is London to Manchester via Birmingham.

The Eastern route (to Leeds) has gone. There never was a Cornish route, and anyway the existing rail line would not be strong enough to take such trains beyond Exeter.

The HS2 project should have been scrapped a decade ago, and the money spent on providing more services and more branch lines in the North.

As it is, the project will be delivered in the 2030s (maybe), at ruinous expense, at ruinous environmental cost. Already the construction has scarred the landscape, destroyed ancient woodland etc.

[HS2 ground preparation scars the landscape near Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, in 2021]

All so that a train currently taking 1 hr 22mins to Birmingham will take 52 mins in the future, a saving of 30 mins. Oddly, the reduction in (fastest) travel time to Manchester will be less— 1 hr 40 mins instead of 1 hr 54 mins, a saving of only 14 minutes.

It is just not worth the money and the environmental damage.

“Lionesses”

Speaking of System propaganda…

The public are currently subjected to endless propaganda for the LGBTQXYZ agenda, masquerading as “sports news”.

I switched on BBC TV News recently, for the first time in a while, only to find that most of the broadcast was taken up with a report about some women’s football game in Denmark.

Women’s football is being heavily pushed by the “usual suspects”. No-one had even heard of women’s football a few years ago, not as a mass spectator sport. It now turns out that many of the women footballers are lesbians.

I myself am, in any case, not a sports fan, but the propaganda is just so blatant. Is that why most people do not notice it? It hides in plain sight.

This sort of nonsense is, like all the “anti-racism” stuff, and the “blacks with everything” agenda, part of a larger conspiratorial picture: see, e.g., https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/10/tv-ads-and-soaps-are-the-propaganda-preferred-by-the-system-in-the-uk/.

Kemi Badenoch

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12352855/Kemi-Badenoch-leadership-ambition-rumours-swirl-campaign-make-Tory-leader-revived.html

Speculation about Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch‘s ambitions was gathering pace last night after a campaign to make her leader of the Tory party was revived.

The Backingbadenoch.co.uk website was quietly updated a few weeks ago, as were the corresponding Twitter and Facebook accounts.

[Daily Mail]

The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan in action. White people, despite still constituting 80% of the UK population, simply squeezed out everywhere, from TV ads and dramas to 10 Downing Street.

“Although a British citizen and born in the UK, Badenoch stated that she was “to all intents and purposes a first-generation immigrant” during her parliamentary maiden speech.

Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke was born on 2 January 1980 in Wimbledon, London.[7]Badenoch spent parts of her childhood living in Lagos, Nigeria and in the United States…She returned to the UK at the age of 16 to live with a friend of her mother’s owing to the deteriorating political and economic situation in Nigeria which had affected her family.”

Good security, but at what a price! Not “looks like a ghetto”; it is a ghetto.

Either Israel will eventually be hit by nuclear missiles from Iran or elsewhere, or it will fall apart internally, and then be subject to an uprising by the ~7,500,000 Palestinian Arabs who live at present corralled in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank areas, and inside the boundaries of Israel itself. The Arabs, as a population, number about the same, or only slightly fewer, than the Jews living in Israel.

If he were not so evidently mendacious and evil, Zelensky could simply be called an idiot. Imagine claiming to want a “peace plan” without the participation of the main player!

Dangerous territory both metaphorically and literally. If PMC Wagner were to attack Poland, that would presumably be taken to be an incident triggering Article 5 of the NATO Treaty (because presumably an action ordered by the Russian Government). Likewise, were Polish forces to attack official Russian or Belarusian forces, or to enter Ukrainian territory, there might be direct conflict between Polish and Russian forces, also probably triggering Article 5.

Sensible heads must rethink this conflict, and especially the increasingly frenetic NATO aid to the Kiev regime, before all Europe goes up in flames.

Britain in 2023.

How long will it be before British people generally understand that we are in the opening stages of a multiform civil war? Not a race war, as such, and not just a traditional civil war based on ideology, but a hybrid type, encompassing both of those and also social aspects.

One aspect that is relatively new is that it is precisely the wealthy and powerful parts of society that are encouraging the incipient chaos, so that they can profit by that chaos and then impose a “multicultural” police state. The “Covid” “panicdemic” was a test run for that.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

I agree with that.

The “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe” set up dozens, possibly hundreds, of Twitter “sock accounts” many years ago, and has continued to do so. Some look like genuine accounts with a few even having a couple of hundred Twitter “followers”. They praise “Jack Monroe”, her non-existent “activism”, and her ghastly “recipes” such as mixing tinned peaches with chickpeas and curry powder to make a kind of pseudo-Indian dinner. Mahashma Gandhi?

The aim of “Jack Monroe” is to try to keep her name appearing online for something other than cheating the less-intelligent members of the public out of their money.

Incidentally, as of today, 397 utter mugs are still sending “Jack Monroe” a total of thousands of pounds each month, via Patreon.

My provisional view is that the System set up GB News as “controlled opposition”, meaning that it was supposed to act as a safety valve by blowing off steam (public anger) at various issues, but (crucially) avoiding “antisemitism”. Look at who set it up as first Chairman— Andrew Neil.

Having said that, I think that it has spiralled out of System control to some extent. That is what happens. Look at Father Gapon in the St. Petersburg of 1905. The fake “resistance” sometimes mutates into real resistance.

The public were supposed to be bamboozled by GB News, but by some quasi-divine grace, the just anger of the public has, to some limited extent, taken over GB News presenters and agendas.

Money money money…

Rachel Reeves: member and vice-Chair, Labour Friends of Israel, supporter of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation (connected with the contrived “holocaust” farrago), wrote part of an Israeli propaganda book etc. Family income (herself and husband) of around half a million pounds a year. Suspected of being part-Jewish.

Still think that any “Labour”-label government under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper is going to be any better than the present fake “Conservative” shambles? 99% the same.

For a start, tax transnational enterprises trading here but domiciled elsewhere.

Then take away Zelensky’s ricebowl— stop sending billions in money, arms, and the rest to the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.

Then stop importing useless non-whites. Then get rid of the ones already here.

Then remove the hundreds of thousands of fake “refugees” from Ukraine who are here. Few are genuine refugees, and few are without money.

Then stop wasting money on useless projects such as HS2.

Start with the above, then keep going.

BookTrust was founded in 1921 by Hugh WalpoleStanley Unwin, Maurice Marston and Harold Macmillan…”

On Friday 17 December 2010 it was announced that the government would cut its entire £13 million annual grant to BookTrust’s English bookgifting schemes. The schemes, including Bookstart, Booktime and Booked Up, provided more than two million packs of books to English children annually.”

Until removed or otherwise dealt with, the migrant-invaders should be prevented from breeding, both among themselves and with members of the indigenous population.

Hot weather

Just saw a weather report. Apparently, parts of Sicily are now the hottest they have been since…1957. So not quite unprecedentedly hot. I suppose people will say that that proves nothing. I wonder.

Ha ha! “Jacktivism“…I like that! (cf. “Supertanskiii”).

A couple of weeks old now. If that is still so in 2024, we could be seeing the end of the Conservative Party as a major political force. That would leave a vacuum…and Nature abhors a vacuum, as we know…

Another sign that the expected or possible Labour government from some date in 2024 will be, if heavily successful at the General Election, an “elected dictatorship” even worse than that of Blair/Brown.

Damning.
