So many “journalists” are just System-dependent scribblers and talking heads. Kevin Maguire is one of the worst, with his unthinking “Labour” tribalism, and his fake pseudo-socialism. A total fake, in fact, and one who, with his affluent wife (a novelist), has an income in the hundreds of thousands, a house in “leafy Richmond” (SW London), and at least one second home (in Devon or Cornwall); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Maguire_(journalist)

Sooner or later, the whole society will fracture; in fact, you can see the early signs of that all around.

Were I in the Iranian leadership, I should be dispersing the scientists and technicians across Iran, away from likely targets, so that they can regroup later, after any such powerful attack(s).

I pair that with the proposed “assisted dying” legislation. Indicators that the value of human life in this country is now set below the bar of ease and convenience.

As a former barrister, it is clear to me, I having seen it all before. Superficially clever little men and (sometimes) women, who pose as very intelligent within their insulated little legal-people bubble, but are usually clueless in the wide world of real events, big pictures, history, and geopolitics.

Owen Jones was always (quite openly) trying to get people to block me on Twitter when I had an account (a pack of malicious Jews conspired to mass-report me and have me expelled in 2018). Owen Jones was not the only one asking people to block me, not converse with me etc; others included the Jew Finkelstein (now yet another absurd member of the House of Lords).

My assessment of Owen Jones (from 2019):

Stunning.

Just one more corrupt puppet.

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.

Not quite as striking as other recent polls, but still giving Reform UK a near-majority 300 MPs (Lab 188, LibDems 72, SNP 30, Cons 30): https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Note the persistent illogicality and unfairness of FPTP voting, though: Reform UK 27%, but 300 MPs instead of 176, and the Greens 10%, but only 4 MPs instead of 65. Also, Cons 17%, but only 30 MPs instead of 111.

Bargaining chips, but Netanyahu seems to care little for Israelis captured by Israel’s enemies. They are some way down the list of his priorities.

The Jewish/Zionist lobby has enormous influence and (not always obvious) power over the politicians of the USA and UK, among other states. Trump is no exception.

Another point is that, especially in the USA, whenever you see or read about or from a supposed “expert” on geopolitics, especially but not exclusively the Middle East, 9 times out of 10 that talking head or scribbler is Jewish.

Diary Blog, 4 December 2024, with a few thoughts about Reform UK, Tim Montgomerie’s defection, proportional representation, and Reform’s upsurge

Morning music

Reform UK

Tim Montgomerie’s leap from the Tory ship to Reform UK? Now this is a statement. Thirty-three years of loyalty to the Conservatives, yet even he’s had enough of the dithering, U-turns, and wet centrism. Reform UK is becoming the island for those sick of the Westminster circus, a home for patriots tired of compromise and careerists. The Tories should be terrified—if stalwarts like Montgomerie are walking away, what does that say about the state of the party? Reform UK isn’t just nibbling at the edges anymore; it’s carving out a proper movement for common-sense politics and sovereignty. Watch this space, lads. The political realignment is only just beginning.”

Naturally, for anyone social-national, Reform UK is only a step forward, rather than any giant leap. Many of its expressed policies are wrong, and many of its candidates non-European. It is also pro-Israel etc.

Reform, however, may help to kill off the System parties over the next few years.

As for Tim Montgomerie, I have of course never had any time for him. He supported the fake “compassionate Conservatism” of David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne (both part-Jew) and the cruelties inflicted on so many by their policies, and by “welfare” (social security) “reformers” Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, the Jew “Lord” Freud etc.

Still, Montgomerie’s defection is an interesting commentary on the possible upcoming demise of the Conservative Party.

Reform UK is polling at around 20%. It has been there before, just about, but fell back to score only 14.29% at GE 2024. In my opinion, though, the fact that Reform UK was able to have 5 MPs elected (in contradistinction to other small parties of the past half-century and more) is more important than appears superficially.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results

To look at Reform UK’s underwhelming (in themselves and in terms of numbers) 5 MPs and say (as many Labour Party partisans, pro-EU drones etc, have done, expressly) “ha ha! You lost!“, totally misses the point.

For any small political party, under the UK electoral system, to get even one MP elected is huge; to get 5 elected at once is, well, massive.

That especially applies once one realizes that it was only the FPTP voting system, which since the 1960s has gradually ceased to reflect the real levels of political opinion in the country, which prevented Reform UK having about 93 MPs (14.29% of 650).

Under a (full) proportional representation system, Reform UK would have been awarded 93 MPs, the LibDems 79, the Conservative Party 154, and Labour 219, on the voting numbers at GE 2024.

In reality, were the voting system proportional, many more voters might have voted for Reform UK anyway, because not put off doing so by the perception that not voting Lab, Con, or LibDem is “a wasted vote”.

As can be seen from the graphic above, the present system of voting in England (particularly) is skewed against the smaller parties. Not Reform UK alone; the Green Party, under a fully-proportionate system, would have been awarded, at GE 2024, 42 MPs (6.39% of 650) instead of the 3 who were actually elected. Even George Galloway’s Workers’ Party would have 5 seats.

Some proportional-voting systems have a “threshold”, 1%, 5% etc, below which a party gets no seats.

We now have a Labour government which was voted for by a third (33.7%) of the actually-voting electorate, and by a mere 20% of the eligible electorate. It has only marginal legitimacy.

Having said all that, we are where we are. At present, the main two System parties still stand opposed to reform of the electoral process.

The case of the SNP, as blogged previously, is interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#History.

The SNP was founded in 1934, but only had its first MP elected in 1945, in a by-election, and he lost his seat only 3 months later. The next SNP MP won her seat in another by-election, in 1967, but lost it in 1970, though another SNP candidate won in another seat. At that time, there were 71 MPs holding Scottish constituencies.

The SNP did well in 1974, getting 11 MPs at one of the two general elections, but fell back to 2 in 1979. Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, the SNP increased its support but even in 2010 had only 6 MPs out of the 59 then available in Scotland.

Then, in 2015, the SNP had its electoral miracle, based on a “Conservative” Party government at Westminster supported by relatively few Scottish voters, and on a Labour Party which had been supreme in Scotland since 1945, increasingly so since 1964 and then in the early 21stC, but which was perceived as being useless (particularly so in the Blair/Brown years (when Labour was in power at Westminster) and thereafter, when Scottish Labour was headed by the egregiously poor Jim Murphy [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Murphy]. Murphy had been an unsuccessful university student for 11 years, and never did graduate, but became a Labour MP at the relatively early age of 29.

In 2015, Scottish Labour lost 41 of its 41 Westminster seats, while the SNP held or gained 56 (out of 59).

How does that relate to Reform UK in 2024 and perhaps 2029?

We have seen how the SNP took over a decade to get 1 MP, and 40 years to get a cadre of MPs, and how the SNP only surged to power 81 years after its foundation.

Reform UK, dating from only 2021, is however the same, in effect, as its previous persona as Brexit Party, founded in 2018, and a lineal descendant from UKIP (though that still exists as a small rump), founded in 1993.

Reform UK is now aiming to do in England, as well as in the UK as a whole, what the SNP did in Scotland in 2015, i.e. catch the wave of popular support. For Farage, Tice etc, there has to be that FPTP tipping point, the point at which the illogical, unfair etc FPTP system, instead of impeding Reform, starts to work in its favour.

Reform’s slightly underwhelming result at GE 2024 was purely the result of its support (and votes) being spread so thinly. Reform had considerably more actual votes than the LibDems, but few concentrations of votes. Where the concentration was dense enough, Reform got MPs.

The msm commentators, and the Labour and Conservative Party partisans, have not fully taken on board why Labour won so many MPs, and so won the election.

Labour won because the Conservative Party lost. Trite, yes, but the point is that —as can be seen from the percentage voting for Labour, only 33.7%— rather few people actually voted Labour, and most of those who did, did so in a wholly negative way, i.e. because in this or that particular constituency, the fight was perceived as being only between Lab and Con, or Lab and SNP in Scotland, and people desperately wanted rid of 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment.

What, then happens when Labour, Starmer-Labour, Labour Friends of Israel Labour, is hated and despised as much as the Conservative Party was 5 months ago? Well, actually, that has already happened, but of course Labour is going nowhere, insulated from dissent, protest, and even riot by its very large majority (presently 156: see https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/government-majority).

It has taken Starmer only 5 months to put Labour down where the Cons were, in popular estimation, after many years, arguably 14 years.

If the voting patterns of several years continue, i.e. people voting against rather than for candidates and parties, then I think it entirely possible that, in voting against Labour, Reform might be the receptacle for those “anti” votes, more than the Conservative Party. In fact, I can see at least the possibility that both Lab and Con will slump, Lab to maybe 200 seats, and Con to somewhere below 100. If that were to happen, there would be about 350 seats going to others, in England maybe 250. Reform could be the main beneficiary of that.

It may be speculative to suggest that the next general election could see Reform UK as the party with the most Commons seats, but it is now not impossible.

How many seats could Reform get? I do not know. Anywhere from 50 to 200, if they continue to gather support. Reform came second in 98 seats at GE 2024; on the other hand, UKIP came second in 120 seats in 2015.

The only gamechanger I could see for the Cons would be if “Boris” Johnson were to come back into direct politics, take one of the few “safe” Con seats left, depose the Nigerian woman, Kemi Badenoch, then appeal to the public, “cosplaying” his favourite role as an am-dram Winston Churchill.

As regular readers know, I myself despise Johnson, and hold him in utter contempt. However, many voters do not. Stupid, maybe, but we must look at the realities. In fact, Johnson is not terribly popular with the voters; just more popular than Kemi Badenoch ever will be.

I have often wondered why Johnson was not granted a life peerage. He could have had one, had he wished. There is only one answer— he wanted to keep his options open. Were he to return as Con leader, he could not do worse than Sunak (or Badenoch) electorally, in my view. A “Boris” general election might steal much of Reform’s thunder. The Cons might even become the largest party again. Hateful to me (as is Starmer-Labour) but it might just happen.

At GE 2024, parties and individuals other than LibLabCon got a record 30.4%. That means that, already, if taken with the 40.2% of eligible voters who did not vote, 70.6% of people did not vote for the so-called “three main parties”.

Exam grade inflation

Happened to see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-level_(United_Kingdom)#England,_Wales_and_Northern_Ireland.

In the early 1980s (when I took A Levels, studying for a few months alone in order to be able to get onto a law degree course, having dropped out of school a decade before, at age 16, in 1973), about 8% of candidates were awarded a Grade A. By 2009, that had grown to nearly 27%, despite the increase in the number of candidates.

In 2009, the concerns about grade inflation resulted in a new category being established, the A*. Look at the statistics. From 2009, about 8% were getting A* grades, but the ordinary A grades were, from 2009, running at around 18% or more. B and C grades were inflating even more.

As with the currency, grade inflation simply means that, in the end, the piece of paper becomes almost worthless.

Israeli war crimes— Genocide in Gaza

““My name is Amos Goldberg. I am an Israeli Professor of Holocaust Studies. For nearly 30 years I have researched and taught the Holocaust, genocide and state violence. And I want to tell whoever is willing to listen that what’s happening now in Gaza is a genocide. A year ago when October 7th happened, like all Israelis I was in shock. It was a war crime and a crime against humanity. 1200 people – more than 800 of them civilians – were killed in one day. Children and the elderly were among those taken hostage. Communities were destroyed. It was outrageous, traumatizing, personal. Like most Israelis, I know people who were killed, who lost loved ones or whose loved ones were taken hostage. But immediately afterwards came Israel’s response and within weeks thousands of civilians were killed in Gaza. It took me some time to digest what was unfolding before my eyes. It was agonizing to confront that reality. I was reluctant to call it a genocide. But if you read Raphael Lemkin – the Jewish-Polish legal scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ and was the major driving force behind the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention – what is happening in Gaza now is exactly what he had in mind when he spoke about genocide. It does not need to look like the Holocaust to be a genocide. Each genocide looks different and not all involve killing of millions or the entire group. The United Nations Genocide Convention explicitly asserts that genocide is the act of deliberately destroying a group in whole or in part. Those are the words. But there does need to be a clear intent. And indeed, there are clear indications of intent to destroy Gaza: Israel’s leaders – including the prime minister and the minister of defence – and many high-ranking military officers, media personalities, rabbis, as well as ordinary soldiers were very open about what they wanted to achieve. There were countless documented incitements to turn the whole of Gaza into rubble and claims that there are no innocent people living there. A radical atmosphere of dehumanization of the Palestinians prevails in Israeli society to an extent that I can’t remember in my 58 years of living here. Now that vision has been enacted. Tens of thousands of innocent children, women and men have been killed. Over a hundred thousand were wounded. There is a near total destruction of infrastructure, intentional starvation and blocking of humanitarian aid. There are mass graves and reliable testimony of summary executions. Children that were shot by snipers. All the universities and almost all hospitals are gone. Almost all the population is displaced. There have been numerous bombings of civilians in so-called ‘safe zones’. Gaza does not exist anymore. It is completely destroyed. Thus, the outcome fits perfectly with the stated intentions of Israel’s leadership. Lemkin – that scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ – described two phases of a genocide. The first is the destruction of the annihilated group and the second is what he called ‘imposition of the national pattern’ of the perpetrator. We are now witnessing the second phase as Israel prepares ethnically cleansed areas for Israeli settlements. And therefore, I have come to the conclusion that this is exactly what a genocide looks like. We don’t teach about genocides in order to realize it retrospectively. We teach about it in order to prevent it and to stop it. But like in every other case of genocide in history right now we have mass denial. Both here in Israel and around the world. But reality cannot be denied. So yes, it is a genocide. And once you come to this conclusion you cannot remain silent.” – Statement to Led By Donkeys, December 2024 – Photo: Parliament Square, London, 8.40am, 4th December 2024.

Powerful.

That statement certainly puts the UK and US-based Jew-Zionist “human rights” lawyers in their place, the ones constantly tweeting about how what has been happening in Gaza is supposedly not a genocide because… [how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?].

What really matters politically, though, is not the Westminster Bubble blame-game but what is actually happening on the streets. A million or more invaders every year (last year 1.2M) (yes, one or two hundred thousand leave, as do about a hundred thousand disenchanted Brits), and a steep slide in terms of public services, a decent society, crime, incomes, housing provision, and much else.

If things go on as they now are, there will be either a quietly-British form of social-national revolution somewhere or somewhen down the line, or (and/or) a kind of civil war mixed with a social war and a race war. A confused mixed picture, though, not a sharply-delineated and two-sided one.

In contemporary Britain, the truth is “inflammatory“…

I argued, in my long-ago talk at the London Forum in 2017, that people charged with such essentially political offences should never plead guilty.

Pleading guilty is understandable in ordinary criminal cases, in that it reduces the sentence where the evidence is overwhelming, but I consider it the duty of social-national and other nationalist defendants to plead not guilty. To plead guilty is to validate the prosecution. Also, in a jury case especially, you never know your luck.

I followed my own advice in my 2023 free speech trial.

Yes, I was still convicted, after a process that started, from my point of view, in February or March 2023, and ended with my sentencing hearing on 14 March 2024, but my “9-month community order” (probation, by any other word) ends in about a week, technically, and in reality finished in mid-September 2024; my “community order” sentence of “15 rehabilitation days” turned out to be half a dozen or so meetings ranging in duration from about 30 minutes to a couple of hours each.

Would I have been handed down a more lenient sentence had I pleaded guilty? I doubt it.

It does not even much matter that Reform UK would probably be poor at governing. The main thing is to smash the “two main parties” scam, and—to intrude a metaphor from the world of chess— to open up the board.

Happened to catch 10 mins of a TV jaunt around the Caribbean, presented by Clive Myrie. Needless to say, the black TV presenter focussed, when in Jamaica and Barbados, mainly on slavery, “reparations” for slavery, and on “racism” etc.

There was an amusing moment when Myrie met relatives in what I took to be their not unpleasant large villa, set amid a profusion of flowering plants. One of them mentioned how Myrie’s father had, after having moved to the UK, encountered “racism, not like you today“, but Myrie demurred. He obviously has that chip on the shoulder, despite being paid hundreds of thousands a year by the BBC and (as, co-incidentally, I just saw in the Guardian) large extra amounts moonlighting as well: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/dec/04/clive-myrie-apologises-for-failing-to-declare-at-least-145000-in-outside-earnings-bbc.

Rutte: Ukrainians do not want negotiations because they are at a disadvantage

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that he does not consider it a wise decision to involve the Alliance’s troops in the conflict on the territory of Ukraine. ” I don’t think it would be a wise decision ,” he said when asked by the host of “Fox News” whether NATO is considering deploying troops if third countries continue to allegedly support Russia in the conflict.

According to Rute, Ukraine will start peace negotiations only when it feels that it can get something.

Hopefully, NATO (and the EU) will now row back from the brink of war with Russia.

Is that a kind of double bluff, and is Iran already well on the way? I should not be surprised. Israel is doomed either way.

I once met a Dutch doctor, in the course of my professional work as a barrister. He was making (17 years ago) about £650 a day, 6-7 days a week, so about £20,000 a month, as a locum doctor in the NHS. It may not have any statistical validity, but the experience of meeting that horrible bastard told me everything I need to know about the Dutch medical profession.

Late thoughts about the migration invasion of the UK

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14137409/Keir-Starmer-immigration-net-peak-record-Labour.html

Keir Starmer admitted he must bring down immigration today after shock figures showed the annual record has been smashed again.

The PM insisted Britain can no longer be a ‘soft touch’ after huge revisions to official data showed net inflows were 906,000 in the year to June 2023.

Arrivals in the 12 months to June this year were 728,000 higher than those leaving the country. In itself that was almost as much as the previous long-term immigration record.

[Daily Mail]

As so-called “far right” people have been saying for years, while being called “alarmists” and “conspiracy theorists” who “stir up” hostility to the invaders, and “invent” statistics. Not so. The ones making up fake statistics are the System politicians and bureaucrats: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14137473/The-assumption-led-staggering-underestimate-migration-UK.html.

I caught a few minutes of a BBC News “discussion”. One silly woman was talking about how most asylum-seekers are “genuine”, then gave “Ukraine” as an example. The fact is that most of Ukraine is no more a a war zone than was Northern Ireland or even mainland Britain in the 1970s. An occasional bomb. I am talking about, especially, Western Ukraine and Kiev.

As the rules now stand, literally hundreds of millions of people in the world could, in principle, arrive here and make a successful claim for asylum. Fact. Can you imagine what the UK would be like if they all came here? Impossible? As recently as a decade ago, pro-migrant drones were saying that a million a year could never happen. Now look.

Meanwhile some BBC drone was saying that migration is essential for “the NHS and the care sector”. Only because of the way our society has structured itself in recent decades.

Also, migration at a million a year— how many doctors, nurses, and care workers out of every million? The fact is that the whole NHS is only about 1.5M, and about half are white British people.

The care sector employs a similar number of people.

Ergo, most “migrants” (invaders), the vast vast majority, are not working either in the NHS or the care sector. More lying propaganda from the BBC.

Where is our society going? It becomes ever more obvious…

Confused woman supports mass immigration, describes herself for reasons unknown as “upper middle-class“, and seems to be brainwashing her daughter into being a feral freak. Not “everything wrong in Britain in a three-minute clip“, but quite a lot of it…

People opposed to Tommy Robinson have said on Twitter/X that “Robinson” has crowdfunded about £100,000 for legal defence, only to plead Guilty. Well, I do not know about that, but the implication seems to be that the crowdfunder was a “scam” or “grift”, because of the Guilty plea.

Well, that last seems wrong to me because, firstly, “legal defence” does not necessarily mean that the defendant is going to plead Not Guilty. Also, much of the expense is incurred prior to trial, though of course that will be more the case when the plea is going to be a Not Guilty.

Having said that, £100,000 (if that is the amount raised) is an absurd amount for what was supposed to be a 2-day trial in the magistrates’ court (at the rebuilt former Marylebone mags, now renamed Westminster mags, it seems, looking at video clips; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Magistrates%27_Court). I myself appeared there as Counsel once or twice, but about 30 years ago. All human life passes through there…

[former Marylebone Magistrates’ Court, now Westminster Magistrates’ Court]

So anyway, Tommy Robinson has been sentenced to 18 months. 40% of 18 months is around 6-7 months. He will be out again by next May, at latest and, perhaps, not quite £100,000 the richer.

I have often noted on the blog my view of Tommy Robinson, i.e, that he is one aspect of “controlled opposition”, and seems to be pro-Israel, though that may or may not be a tactic to get the Jewish lobby off his back, as with Trump (arguende).

A Father Gapon type [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgy_Gapon].

Still, the movement around Tommy Robinson has moved the “Overton Window” a bit, as do all political activities. To my mind, “Robinson” has nothing to offer the British people ideologically or otherwise, but, as with Reform UK, that “Window” has been moved, continues to move, and may (despite the “controlled opposition” or “steam valve” aspects) make it easier for a real social-national movement to emerge and capture hearts and minds, if the British people continue to be let down and frustrated.

…and that is even more true of the real British population. Blacks, browns, Arabs, Jews in the UK all have more children, per capita.

The huge and continuing increase in the UK population is almost entirely by reason of mass immigration. Not only that, but immigration by some of the least pleasant, most backward racial or sub-racial peoples of the world. Britain as dustbin.

The Palestine-resident (and other) Jews were committing acts of terrorism against British soldiers and civilians even when the Second World War was still ongoing, and later continued and intensified their terroristic activities, kidnapping and hanging British soldiers, blowing up the British HQ in Jerusalem, and attempting to poison the water supply in London, among other acts of terrorism and barbarity.

During the Falklands campaign of 1982, the Israeli state sold French Exocet missiles to Argentina, missiles which killed British soldiers and sailors.

Newly declassified files from the National Archives in Kew reveal that Israel supplied significant weaponry including strike aircraft to the Argentine Junta in the run-up to, and during, the 1982 conflict.”

Israel, both directly and via Jews with nominal British citizenship, and living in the UK, has suborned the two main System political parties of the UK, promoting Jewish and Israeli interests above those of real English/British people.

The above is no more than the tip of the iceberg.

In short, Israel is not an ally of the UK but its enemy, an enemy all the more dangerous for having a “fifth column” inside UK society.

Never complain, never explain” (in an ideal world, at least).

While I do not accept or agree with everything tweeted by David Morgan, his account is still one of the most worthy on political/social Twitter/X, and worth following by those with a Twitter/X account (I myself was expelled in 2018 after a long concerted campaign by a pack of malicious Jews, and I am disinclined to revive my Twitter/X account).

Even were that not the case, non-white immigration into Europe would still be wrong.

David Irving

For those who have not seen it, a 2-hour reminiscence by acclaimed historian David Irving:

Irving’s reminiscences are very interesting, not least on the scientific evidence establishing that the “gas chambers” of Auschwitz never were that; also about the selling to the world audience of the word “holocaust” as relating to the repression of Jewry in the years 1942-1944 (the word was rarely or never used in that connection until the early 1970s). Also, about how the supposed “gas chamber” at Auschwitz, visited with fake reverence by millions of (mostly American and Western European) tourists, was only built in 1948, 3 years after WW2 ended, and about how it is, in Irving’s words, “as genuine as the castle at Disneyland“… (there was belatedly placed a plaque on that Auschwitz building, stating that it is indeed a postwar “reconstruction”).

Useless would-be dictator Yvette Cooper continues to drone on about “smashing the gangs” when the problem is not “the gangs”, as such, but the migration invasion itself, i.e. the migrant-invaders themselves. They are the ones who must be deterred or eliminated.

Yvette Cooper is a member of Labour Friends of Israel and has always favoured importing as many non-whites as possible.

That applies also to political leadership at all levels.

Interesting that the Israeli Jews hit the mosque first, or rather than anything else.

What the (Israeli) Jews are doing in Gaza is far more harsh than what happened in the Warsaw Ghetto in the early 1940s. The (Israeli) Jews are going to cut off all food and even water to Northern Gaza.

However, according to Jewish “human rights” lawyers in the UK, what is happening in Gaza is “not a genocide“…

The USA and the West generally are rowing back now on support for the Kiev regime. They are still funnelling money and arms to Zelensky’s cabal, but the aim is now not even to expel Russian forces from Eastern Ukraine and Crimea; the most that might be realistic is for the war to stop —or not stop— but on the present front-lines.

There never was, of course, any possibility that the shambolic Kiev-regime forces might seize and retain large areas of Russia, let alone advance on Moscow. That’s for the birds.

Russian forces are poised to advance, either in the winter, or next year, in the summer of 2025. In the meantime, the electrical supply infrastructure, and the transport infrastructure, of Ukraine will be further degraded. The whole of Eastern Ukraine might finally fall to Russia before very long.

The NWO/ZOG states of the West want to keep “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) fighting, but without any hope of military victory.

Few, if any, seem to be getting past the Israeli anti-rocket defences, but the aim may be to deplete the number of anti-missile missiles the Israelis have. I have no idea whether the Israelis have almost unlimited defensive rockets or not.

Accurate… I spent 9 months in East Africa. It’s very hard to pinpoint exactly why it’s such a mess.

They have an infantile mentality and absolutely no commercial sense.

I once went about 10 miles down the road, in the middle of nowhere on the way to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and every 50 meters there was someone selling watermelon. I said to the driver, “Everyone is selling exactly the same product. Why don’t they try making watermelon juice or something different to stand out?” He replied, “But why would we do that? We like melon!”

That attitude was everywhere. In fact, I would sometimes meet Westerners who would say, “Isn’t it amazing how they’ve kept this piece of junk car going for 30 years?” And I’d reply, “It’s more amazing that we have automated car factories with robots.” They literally only focus on the immediate need. “Car not go today, car fixed with string and tape.

The only two factors preventing Britain and other European countries from retaking direct control of Africa, of all of Africa, are 1. socio-political will and 2. the fact that the (((globalists))) find it more convenient to exploit Africa’s resources via corrupt tiny “elites” in each fake African “state” (and to hell with the environment, the forests, the wildlife, and the African people themselves).

The fact is that European rule would benefit all, not least the ordinary Africans.

Incidentally, it would be a great deal easier than many imagine for Europe to reconquer Africa militarily. Only the two factors already noted make it at all hard.

Illiterate travel

I have just read this, https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/travel/sarajevo-guide-balkans-bosnia-and-herzegovina-b1176081.html, a travel piece in what I still call the Evening Standard, and written by well-known columnist Suzanne Moore. Not hugely interesting anyway, but then absurdly badly-written. An essay by a 10-year-old, at best. Or is the sub-editing to blame? Maybe someone pushed a few of the wrong buttons. Extraordinary. Read it and see.

I have read other pieces by Suzanne Moore which were written properly, so maybe it was the fault of the Standard.

Pretty accurate summing-up of “Starmer-ism”, in my opinion, “Blairism without the good bits“, though I do not recall many good bits then either, speaking personally.

As far as assisted dying is concerned, I see it as a generally well-meaning attempt to be kind, which however, put into policy and law, is the start of a slide to, eventually, somewhere down the line, killing people for convenience or money.

HS2 was a vanity project that never should have been approved. As far as I know, though, the other rail projects are or were useful.

The “fake history” of the 1970s

That’s because you, “Steve Zodiac”, are apparently telling your grandchildren a load of old hooey…

I have blogged in the past about how very many people (including, weirdly, many who were at least in their teens then, and so actually of an age to remember) say, and even perhaps believe, that the 1970s in the UK were some kind of dark age in which the electricity was off most of the time, in which bodies were left unburied by reason of industrial action, in which trains and buses rarely ran, in which rubbish piled up in the towns and cities, in which there was a “three day week” when offices and factories were closed for four days each week, and in which life was generally miserable (for example, food was terrible, they say).

The above-noted fabled dystopia was, we are told, the result of overreaching trade union power and Labour misgovernment.

Where to start?

First of all, the party in power for the first 4 years of the 1970s was the Conservative Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_United_Kingdom_general_election, and of course Mrs Thatcher won again for the Conservatives in 1979: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_United_Kingdom_general_election.

In other words, out of the 10 years, Labour was in power for about 6 years. Labour government was in place from the early 1960s until mid-1970, then from early 1974 until mid-1979.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election.

One interesting fact is that, in the 1966 General Election, the “two main parties” (Lab/Con) got exactly 98% of Commons seats on just under 90% of the popular vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_United_Kingdom_general_election#Results.

Compare to 2024: 81.8% of seats based on 57.4% of the popular vote.

In 1966, the winning party (Labour) got 48% of the popular vote, the losing Conservatives 41.9%.

In 2024, Labour got 33.7%, and the losing Conservatives only 23.7%.

The electoral system has become not just unfair but also illogical and ridiculous. It no longer reflects reality.

Reverting to the general situation in the 1970s, the much-talked-about “Three Day Week” only affected, directly, commercial operations (which were banned from using electricity on the other four days). The Three Day Week only lasted for two months. Out of 10 years (120 months).

I saw the Three Day Week firsthand. I was working, aged just 18, as supposed assistant manager in a very small commercial intelligence outfit based in the Strand (London). The office only had 5 people including me, though we did have a network of mostly ad-hoc agents all over the southern and eastern parts of England (anywhere south or southwest of The Wash). Much of the work was in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Essex. The agents were often retired Army officers who, on being contacted, would —eagerly— say something such as “right-oh, old boy. I’ll fire up the Rover and get onto it.”

I must do a blog post sometime about it.

There were, in the early 1970s, strikes by coal miners etc, resulting in a few brief power cuts (“outages”, as the Americans say), but they lasted for a few hours a day, for a few days. Out of 10 years, again.

In the “Winter of Discontent” (1978-79), there were, for a few weeks, situations in some towns and cities whereby rubbish piled up, yes; that much of the “fable” is true, but only for a brief time. As for the “bodies left unburied“, that only applied in Liverpool and Manchester and only for 14 days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent#Gravediggers’_strike.

In fact, though the 1970s had its problems political, social, economic, Britain still had possibilities. The population was still almost entirely white Northern European, new ideas and projects were around or developing (the Milton Keynes conurbation, the Open University, new express trains, cross-Channel hovercraft etc), and the absurd and damaging house-price madness, though it had started, was still in its early stages.

Britain still had a functioning Army, Navy, Air Force (etc), and a police force that mainly did its expected job and was not usually the sort of poundshop Stasi we now see, snooping on or “monitoring” the expression of views and opinions.

Incidentally, the food was OK back then on the whole. Slightly less cosmopolitan, yes, but in the South of England at least, foreign foods such as hummus, taramasalata, olives, Indian, Chinese, etc were ubiquitous. In fact, some food was better and more available back then.

What I find worrying is not only that people who were not there, or were small children, are convinced that England in 1970-1979 was a dark and gloomy place; more that people who were there seem to have substituted, for what actually happened, a kind of folk-tale.

As for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Largan, who was parachuted into the constituency of High Peak (Derbyshire) and served as MP from GE 2019 to GE 2024, he was only born in 1987.

If people cannot recall accurately the 1970s, how much less accurate must be the “memories”, often publicized, of the 1930s and 1940s.

Diary Blog, 31 March 2024, with thoughts about Europe’s falling birth-rate

Morning music

[Tatiana Yablonskaya, Morning]

Talking point

As noted on yesterday’s blog, what you get with Matthew Parris is the logical but spiritually-empty argument of the culturally-unattached, atheistic, metro-affluent gay, which Parris is.

If you had to characterize Matthew Parris symbolically, it would be a minimalist painting of an empty room. Something like this:

Very logical, very clear, but not very comfortable or pleasant.

Parris is not always wrong in what he writes, but often is, as in his assisted-dying comment.

Having said that, the ageing of the population is a challenge. We see that the birth-rate in Europe and across Eurasia is dropping to, has already dropped to, below replacement level.

The birth-rate is falling in the European-populated countries (my main concern), but also in almost every other part of the world, except Africa and a few parts of the Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia.

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

The facile, pro-immigration argument is that “Europe is not having enough children to continue its life and economy— bring in immigrants from… [wherever, but Africa and parts of Asia are usually mentioned]”.

That is like saying “the pilot and co-pilot have both had fatal heart attacks— get the cabin crew to fly the plane.” It just does not work, and cannot work.

It may be that via a concatenation of circumstances, the European peoples will quite soon have to start again, to build a new foundation for social and economic life.

It comes to mind that the ultimate reason for the falling birth-rate almost worldwide may be because so many human spirits were, in the past century or more, rushing into incarnation in order to experience the high-water mark of the industrial culture of the 20th/21st centuries. That rush is now at an end. The fact that it is mainly the Africans who are still being born in large numbers may reflect the fact (if it is a fact) that they were last in incarnation very long ago. Speculative, admittedly.

No wonder, then, that the new breed of “Labour” political drones and freeloaders think first of all about how to increase their own physical security. They are afraid of the people they claim to represent. Rachel Reeves. Liz Kendall. Others. All the Labour Friends of Israel MPs.

Good point. Matthew Parris: useless as a Foreign Office trainee, useless as a Conservative Party office bod, useless as Mrs Thatcher’s correspondence secretary, useless as an MP…

I have had the misfortune to meet many men within the prison system, like the suspected Beckenham attacker, Rakeem Thomas. Young black or ethnic men who have no respect for British values, the police, or white people in general, especially women. They do not fear arrest or prison. While in prison, many continue their criminal activities by selling smuggled drugs, particularly spice.

These men pose a threat to our society, and in London, Mayor Sadiq Khan, a weak and ineffectual man, allows them to wreak havoc, destroying lives and terrorising communities. In 2018, he wanted to reduce stop and search measures. David Lammy often criticises this approach as disproportionately targeting black people, despite higher rates of violent crime committed by Afro-Caribbean and other ethnic groups in London.

Rakeem Thomas pulled a Rambo-style knife on a ticket inspector in December last year, was sentenced to 6 months, and was back on the streets only 12 weeks later. Did he learn? Did the system work for him? Was probation effective in monitoring and protecting those around him? No, shortly after his release, he is arrested for allegedly trying to kill someone. What did they do, ask him the time or look at him in the wrong way?

There are hundreds like him are in prison, awaiting release to resume their destructive behaviour.

Hundreds more free and prowling our streets. Labour proposes leniency for such individuals, avoiding even basic searches. Having lived amongst these people, I can tell you that they are vile, ruthless and dangerous individuals. They are beyond rehabilitation and should be locked up for life. Yet, under Labour’s policies, they seem to be heading, unchecked and protected, to a town near you.

The United Kingdom is turning into a Ununited Hell!

That is why the old South Africa had “pass laws”, to stop what they called “skollies” from wandering around and committing crimes and trouble generally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_law.

Iain Duncan Smith says if we vote for Reform, it’s like giving Labour a big win. I like IDS, but he’s telling us something we already know.

The truth is, the Conservatives have left us no choice. They didn’t fight for us or Brexit. They barely got us through COVID in one piece and just gave up on everything we fought for. They should have replaced Sunak with someone who’d really battle for our country. Now, we’re stuck.

If we vote for Reform, it helps Labour destroy Brexit and the country. But staying with the Tories feels like they’ve already given up, and with the rabble we have running it now, we won’t see the UK we all want anyway.

This country is falling apart, the streets are like the wild west, and it’s open season for illegals to come here and bleed the country dry and commit the most horrific crimes.

We know that under Labour, this is just going to get worse; they will pander to them and welcome them with open arms. You may as well burn every Union Jack because the country will be finished. Starmer may be the leader but the hard Left are waiting in the wings, ready to take over.

So, what do we do? It’s a horrible feeling, an unbelievable nightmare that seems absurd given the majority that Boris won. Yes, a vote for Reform is a vote for hope and what we believe in, but it’s giving us Labour.

They cannot win, the Tories, in the state they are in, cannot win. WE cannot win, whatever we do. We will be stuck with a huge majority Labour government for 10-15 years, the UK won’t survive the absurd wokery, anti Britishness and open arms to the masses.

What kind of hell are we subjecting our children and grandchildren to? The simple matter is the Tories have let us down, and now it seems like our Brexit dreams are just slipping away because they didn’t stand strong when it mattered.

There’s still time; there could be a plot twist coming just around the corner, but it will need the true right of the Conservatives to look themselves in the mirror and remember the people of the United Kingdom, who and what we are, what we fought for, and what we expected of them. It will need a handful of actual patriots to stand tall and reunite the whole right of UK politics before it’s too late. If that doesn’t happen, then Brexit and all the freedoms and hope we fought for are dead, regardless of who we vote for. How did they let this happen to our once beautiful country?

Well, I agree with much of that. Not all. For one thing, Dunce Duncan Smith should be put on trial and receive the just measure of his deeds. Also, Starmer is just a puppet of the Israel lobby; at best useless, at worst a soon-to-be “elected” tyrant.

I now see quite a few tweets from people whose guess is closer to my own, i.e. as few as 50 MPS.

I doubt that most of that relates to the Gaza slaughter as such; probably more to do with the high Israeli (Jewish) losses in the field, and the fact that much of the world now thoroughly despises Israel and its population. That, and the fact that, after nearly six months, the Israelis have still not achieved anything that looks like “victory”, despite their overwhelming firepower, their devastation of urban and residential areas, and the death toll visited upon tens of thousands of Gazan civilians.

The population of the Gaza Strip has lost more than 97% of its daily average water consumption, which previously did not meet the WHO recommended minimum. Now the average resident of the Gaza Strip no longer consumes 3 liters of water per day, as it was in November last year, but just under a liter, which is more than 7 times lower.”

The Kiev regime can mount attacks on bridges, railway lines, or even concert venues (using proxy terrorists) but, on the other side, Russian forces are destroying what is left of the Ukraine’s electricity generation and supply system, as well as slowly but surely grinding down the ever more sparse Kiev-regime forces in the field.

Russian forces continue to advance on the Ukrainian battlefield despite muddy roads , former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said in an interview with the YouTube channel “Dialogue Works”.

If you look at what is happening right now, I think the offensive has already started. They are making progress, he said. Russian forces continue offensive operations, even despite muddy roads, while Western tanks in Ukraine get stuck in the mud. Ukrainian troops are constantly withdrawing, Johnson concluded.

Hundreds of kilometers of fortifications and several defense rings were built around Kyiv.

“In a year this is about 1000 km of fortifications, three rings of defense of Kyiv. The Chernobyl direction has been greatly strengthened. Long-term concrete fortifications are already being built. We did everything to ensure that there were no options for a sudden enemy entry,” said Ground Forces Commander Alexander Pavlyuk.

If Kiev becomes a bastion, almost impenetrable, the advancing Russian forces may either bypass the region, or simply reduce Kiev by means of air power.

Whatever the outcome of that, it seems clear that the Kiev-regime forces are expecting a large-scale Russian advance in 2024-2025, an advance which they have, and will have, no means of countering.
