Talking point

Applies particularly to the Jewish lobby.

I am far less worried about an attack on London (from anywhere) than I should have been had I thought much about it years ago. Mainly because, as time goes by, I like London (where I lived for many years) less and less.

Incidentally, how far can the Israeli missiles reach? Don’t imagine that they would never attack the UK; they have done so in the past, and they already have a large, mainly Jewish, “fifth column” here…

Incidentally, I now see the msm ramping up the fear-factor, as seen prior to the invasion of Iraq nearly 25 years ago. Today, “Iran has the means to attack the UK” etc. All those years ago, many people believed that Saddam Hussein’s Iraq also not only had the means to attack the UK with “weapons of mass destruction”, but could do so in less than 40 minutes. Both untrue. Propaganda.

The Israeli pathology and the American are similar in that sense. Both think themselves entitled to bomb others, while they themselves remain immune from attack. However, when they themselves do suffer attacks, they scream, and take on a “victim” persona, as we saw when New York was attacked in 2001.

Gaza is one big war crime, committed by the Israeli state, supported by the Israeli Jews (most of them), and supported by the Jewish/Israeli lobby in the USA, UK, Australia, France etc.

The other messages would have been even more incriminating, the ones about how Israel and the Jewish lobby have been and still are contaminating UK politics and the UK legal system.

That spokesman for the Iranian side in the present war wears the rank insignia of a Lieutenant-Colonel (Sarhang Dovom) of the IRGC Air Force.

[the cat in the Kremlin]

The Murdoch enterprises own and control some of the most pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby media outlets in the UK too, such as the pathetic online “Talk TV”.

That is exactly what “they” do.

[cf. the scams and attempted scams of the same sort by washed-up and incompetent/dishonest Jew-Zionist lawyer Mark Lewis, his wife/carer Mandy Blumenthal, Jewish scribbler Sabrina Miller, and the malicious Jew-Zionist cabal known as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (use the search box on the blog).]

Incidentally, unpleasant Jewish scribbler Zoe Strimpel writes that she just happened to “pop into” that art exhibition. Really? Well, I suppose that that may be true, but she lives in a heavily-Jewish area of North London, according to Wikipedia, and that would be 90-100 miles from Margate.

The usual Jewish-Zionist contrived scandal and noise, in short.

As a matter of fact, I also dislike what I have seen (online) of that exhibition, but only because it is “art” on, at best, a primary school level. Unlike the repressive activist Jews, though, I would not want to ban the exhibition (though neither would I, had I the political power, subsidize it).

They are a horrible tribe.

I was previously unaware of that. Also may explain why American feminists are so pro-abortion; most of the famous 20thC “pioneers” of feminism in the USA were Jewish.

Very evil. After all, babies born prematurely, whether naturally or via surgical intervention and for medical reasons, and even if born months prematurely, are usually able to live entirely normal lives.

The Jewish/Israel lobby has a stranglehold on the mass media, almost all politicians, and most lawyers and legal institutions (including the police, the courts, and the majority of judges) in the USA and UK and some other countries.

Spectacular, but most of the “space” stuff internationally, both public and private, is just a colossal waste of resources, time, and effort.

[“An extract from the book they don’t want you to read – Suicide of a Nation

There are moments in the life of a nation when everything changes − not with a bang, not even with a conscious decision, but with a quiet, creeping loss of confidence so profound that a people start to forget who they are.

Britain, I believe, is living through such a moment.

The institutions that once embodied our nation − Parliament, the civil ­service, the courts, the police, the BBC, ­universities, schools, corporate executives, the Church, museums − have drifted away from the public they exist to serve.

Our country is now in the grip of a new ruling class which sees itself not as ­custodians of a ­living nation but as supervisors of a global ­project that has no borders, no limits and no loyalty to the people whose taxes fund their salaries.

It is a belief that moral worth is measured not by defending your country but by demonstrating infinite generosity to the rest of the world, even when this threatens the survival of your own nation.

Within just one generation, because of the trends I set out in this book, Britain will no longer be Britain. England will no longer be England.

The country that our ancestors built will be replaced by something else.

Britain is not being conquered or invaded.

Worse: it is being abandoned by the leaders who were meant to protect it.

As the historian and philosopher Arnold J. Toynbee once said: ‘Civilisations die from suicide, not by murder.’

Across Britain – in cities, towns, villages and suburbs − many people are now experiencing the same private, unspoken sense of shock.

You walk down a street you once knew but no longer recognise.

You visit the place where you were born yet feel like a stranger.

You hear languages that are not your own.

You see customs and cultures you do not share.

The country of your childhood seems to exist only in old films, documentaries, ­fading books and nostalgia reels on social media.

What is a nation?

It is a community bound by a shared identity, history, culture and way of life.

It is filled with your relatives, ancestors and neighbours, who you know and trust, and whose graves, stories and memories lie around you.

Yet a survey last year by pollsters More In Common found that nearly half of Britons now feel ‘like a stranger in my own country’.

Significantly, many people from minority backgrounds experience this profound sense of loss just as strongly as their white British counterparts.

Yet whenever anyone articulates this creeping sense of dispossession, they are shamed, silenced or mocked by the elites who are imposing these changes on them.

What we are witnessing is not just a small adjustment, a temporary shift, or the gentle evolution of a nation.

It is something far more dramatic and potentially permanent.

It is the deliberate and sustained transformation of our country.

Nations do not remain the same if the people who shaped them, built them and embody them collapse into minority status.

But this is what is happening.

According to my analysis, which I set out in the book, by the year 2100, the share of Britain’s population made up of White Britons (roughly 95 per cent of the country in the 1990s) will collapse to just 33 per cent.

The proportion of people who are foreign-born or the immediate descendants of the foreign-born will rise from 19 per cent to more than 60 per cent.

Muslims will go from representing about one in every 17 people to one in every four – and one in every three among the young.

This will all happen within the lifetime of a child born today – in the next 74 years.

The ethnic and cultural core of a nation is what holds it in place, like an anchor.

It is what provides us with a sense of shared identity, culture, history, collective memory, and way of life.

But once this anchor gives way, there is nothing to hold the nation in place.“]

[Matt Goodwin]

I can agree with all of that, yet Goodwin still refuses to note that the Jewish/Zionist element (and the connected transnational NWO/ZOG cabal) is that which has been prominent in almost all of the matters raised by him in his extract (I have not read the book itself).

Indeed, I myself have been blogging about all of those matters for 9 years (since late 2016) and, before that, tweeting in similar vein (until a pack of Jews in and/or connected to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” had me expelled from Twitter in 2018 after a long and conspiratorial effort).

I agree.

I have no idea where that disorder is or was (but obviously in the UK, seeing the Tesco sign), or what it is about specifically, and I could not care less.

See also, from the blog in 2017:

Let’s discover what that old Jew was up to on the “Lolita Express” planes, and on the “Lolita Island”, both owned by the Jew Epstein before the latter “went up the chimney”.

Dershowitz claims not to have been involved in Epstein’s sex crimes, and he may not have been (we do not know) but, in that case, what is the connection; what was he doing there? (bearing in mind that the whole Epstein operation, and all or virtually all of Epstein’s wealth, was bankrolled by Israeli Intelligence —MOSSAD, Aman etc— for purposes of political, military, and commercial intelligence).

…and what skills are they supposed to be?

Stupid Trump has really ignited something, and cannot now easily stop it.

Even some of the Jews see what Israel is doing.

Historical note

Spain 1981

Colonel Tejero, who died last month, attempted a putsch in Madrid in 1981, briefly seizing the Cortes (Parliament).

I really enjoy seeing the pseudo-democratic rabble stop squabbling in a second (once a few shots had been fired into the ceiling), then hiding under their desks! Brilliant!

Amazing.

Does anyone think that the [Israeli] Jews (and their non-Israeli agents) can go around assassinating their chosen enemies without some sort of equal and opposite reaction happening in Israel (and maybe also in the USA, UK etc)?

The existence of the Israeli state has had a significant coarsening effect on international relations and on the rule of law internationally.

[“As a local man, a father, and a husband, Sam simply wanted to raise awareness about the devastating impact of mass immigration and how that threatens the future of our communities.

His vehicle for achieving this would be through a sticker campaign; for years Sam ran this peaceful campaign that would ultimately remove him from his family and put him in prison. Here’s exactly what happened.“]

[“2/ Between 2019 and 2021, Sam ran the Hundred Handers – an online group providing downloadable stickers for people to put up around the country.

His aim was straightforward: highlight how rapid demographic change through mass immigration is transforming Britain beyond recognition, warning that native Brits could become a minority in our homeland by 2066, as data projected.“]

[“3/ The stickers carried clear messages like:

It’s OK to be White”
“Reject White Guilt”
“We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066”
and “Mass immigration is white genocide”.

Far from an attempt to mobilise a mob through a call to violence; rather, Sam intended to spark conversation on issues politicians outright refused to address.“]

[“4/ But Sam was targeted. Police had monitored him for years because of his nativist politics and work with Patriotic Alternative.

In 2021, he was finally arrested. The authorities weren’t interested in debate – in fact, they wanted to completely shut him down, for his rhetoric was not “state-approved”.]

[“5/ At Leeds Crown Court he faced serious charges: 11 counts under Section 19 of the Public Order Act 1986 for “intending to stir up racial hatred” by distributing written material, plus encouraging racially aggravated criminal damage under the Serious Crime Act 2007.

Even though his messaging was factually based on official projections, which the prosecution also acknowledged, prosecutors focused instead on his political intent.“]

[“6/ The judge overseeing the case, Tom Bayliss KC, made the political nature of the case obvious during sentencing in March 2024.

He branded Sam a “racist and white supremacist”, claimed he held “Nazi sympathies” and was an “antisemite”. The judge called the stickers “corrosive to our society” and warned they risked normalising antisemitism not seen since 1930s Germany.“]

[“7/ For the crime of allowing members of the public to download stickers, Sam was sentenced to two years in prison, missing out on precious time with his family — including not being present at the birth of his second child — serving a total of 10 months inside.

A Leeds man’s life disrupted for years – not for any crime of violence, but for expressing love for his own people on their own land. It makes you wonder how the scales have been skewed against those who promote nativist politics.“]

[“8/ This case shows the real motivation: the criminalisation of nativist patriots who dare speak about demographic replacement and cultural change.

While two-tier justice ignores far worse crimes, like illegal immigrants raping literal children, patriots like Sam are stripped of their freedoms, imprisoned, and labelled fascist monsters.

This is precisely why we need to Restore Britain. Criminal justice must be restored to protect our people, not persecute them. This is a monumental task that is going to require huge repeals and constitutional restoration. Nativist patriots should feel no shame – this is OUR land. Standing up for it is natural and right!

In the words of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson as signalled from his ship the HMS Victory before the Battle of Trafalgar, October 21, 1805:

“England expects that every man will do his duty”.]

So no “dancing Israelis” now…

I saw a tweet replying that “there is no proof“, but I presume that that idiotic tweeter is not a shipowner (or shipping insurer)…

I did some shipping contract work as a barrister, especially about 21 years ago. Transhipment of crude oil from the Middle East to black Africa. Each ship carried, even then, between USD $50M and USD $100M worth of oil.

The Urgent Necessity for Basic Income (or its equivalent)

Preamble

I have blogged previously about the need for Basic Income (see Notes, below).

One important point is that the nexus connecting work and pay is loosening in the more developed countries. Already, computers, automation and modern business streamlining have led to the situation whereby, apart from actual unemployment, there is huge underemployment. In the UK, we see, in big picture terms, that the poorer half of the workforce is still being paid less in real terms (the latest statistics suggest about 7% less) than was paid in 2007 for equivalent work.

Now, there is a headlong rush into greater automation and, crucially, to Artificial Intelligence [AI].

Working Tax Credits as Government Subsidy to Poor-Paying Employers

Even before the financial upheaval of 2007-2008, it is clear that the “market”, as “hidden hand” mechanism, delivering adequate pay for required work, was not working properly or as old-thinking economic theory suggested that it should. Employers were unwilling or in some cases unable to offer pay high enough for employees to subsist on, let alone live decently on.

The answer of the Blair-Brown governments was to offer employees “working tax credits”, i.e. a form of “welfare”/”social security” for those in employment, the purpose of which was (and at time of writing still is) to top-up inadequate pay to a determined level. A more limited measure, Family Credit, claimable only by families, was in operation from 1986-1999.

The most obvious drawback of Working Tax Credit [WTC], i.e. that it in effect subsidizes poor and poor-paying employers out of general taxation, was either not foreseen by self-styled financial genius Gordon Brown, or was ignored by him and/or Tony Blair. Adding insult to injury was and is the fact that some of the worst-paying employing companies are also those most adept at avoiding tax liability: transnational enterprises such as Amazon in particular.

In other words, an employee is forced (by circumstances) to work for pay which is not enough for that employee to live on, even at a very basic level. That pay is then topped-up to a minimum subsistence level by Working Tax Credit, which is paid for not directly by the exploitative employer but by government, and so by general taxation. Low-paid employees pay little or no income tax now, but still pay so-called National Insurance, which is today just another or extra income tax in all but name. Put simply, the low-paid worker is paying out for his or her own Working Tax Credit, at least to some extent.

The poor-paying employer has no incentive to pay decently, because the government will stump up enough to keep the employee in place.

Real-terms pay now, for very many people, is inferior to what was paid in the 1980s and 1970s. Conditions of employment are also worse in reality (though that aspect is not part of this blog post).

At present, 5 million people in the UK receive WTC, while another 2 million are entitled to receive it but, for whatever reason, do not apply for it.

Other Government Top-Ups to Pay

In addition to basic Working Tax Credit, people in low-paying jobs and who have children can get extra money via WTC , as can disabled workers.

Persons who are disabled or unwell (including employed persons) can receive Disability Living Allowance, which is not means-tested.

Persons who have children are also entitled to Child Benefit, regardless of capital or income (up to £50,000-£60,000, tapering).

Persons of the age(s) specified can receive State Pension regardless of whether they work or not; moreover, whether or not they have ever worked.

Limited Elements of Basic Income Already Embedded in the Existing System

  • State Pension, paid whatever the individual’s capital or income, and whether or not the individual is working (employed or self-employed) or not and (if you include Pension Guarantee Credit), payable regardless of how much the pensioner has paid in via National Insurance;
  • Child Benefit, paid regardless of income (under £50,000 p.a.);
  • Disability Living Allowance (and its successor, “Personal Independence Payment” or PIP), paid regardless of capital or income to qualifying persons (and this is not the place in which to examine why politicians and Department of Work and Pensions [DWP] civil servants often choose vulgar names for State benefits and programmes: cf. “Jobseeker’s Allowance” etc).

Advantages of Basic Income

  • Simplicity. A Basic Income would mean that most of the existing DWP structure could be dispensed with: the vast edifice of “Jobcentres” (office buildings), filled with DWP staff engaged in adminstration, and the snooping upon, monitoring, “assessing” of claimants etc. The absurdity of it is that many claimants are only getting about £75 a week anyway. The present Kafka-esque set-up really should be and can be junked. Probably 90% of the present 85,000 DWP employees can be made redundant. The financial savings from that, decommissioning of buildings, running costs etc would be in the tens of billions annually; the untold billions paid by the State to useless and dishonest private contractors, such as ATOS and Capita, would also be saved;
  • Security of Citizens. It has been shown in overseas pilot studies (eg recently in Finland) that having a Basic Income, even if small, gives people a sense of security only available until now to those with an inherited private income. Yes, some people will decide to loaf all day, maybe even drink all day, but others will do paid work, start small businesses, improve their cultural level, volunteer locally or far away etc. The idle and/or useless are like that under the present system anyway and are costing the State money even now, both directly and indirectly (eg via the costs of policing, NHS, prisons etc);

Doubts Often Expressed about Basic Income

  • “People will not want to work if they get money for nothing”: well, most wealthy inheritors of capital, most of those living off trust incomes etc do seem to want to work in some way, or to set up businesses, or at least to write, paint, or other similar activity. Don’t disparage writing or other artistic activity. After all, Harry Potter, which snowballed into a huge industry employing, altogether, many thousands and even tens of thousands, came out of the mind of one lady, a single mother on State benefits; J.K. Rowling herself has said that, under the punitive present benefits regime, she would have been messed around so much that it would have been impossible for her to sit in cafes with her baby writing Harry Potter. True, some people will simply loaf. They do that under the present system. Don’t think that there are no costs to the State and society now (even if actual benefits are cut off): police costs, court and legal costs, NHS costs, too;
  • “The cost to the taxpayer”: the cost of Basic Income would be little more than the present “welfare” (social security) system, once you take into account the huge savings on DWP and HMRC bureaucracy, savings by not using useless/dishonest outsourcing organizations, the economic benefit of people spending more, stimulating the economy, setting up new small businesses;
  • “People getting Basic Income money that they do not even need”: firstly, what people “need” is, beyond the basic level, something subjective. Apart from that, there is no problem with clawing back monies paid to those above a certain income. All that need happen is that a maximum level of income (all income) for recipients be set. All persons above that income level to be taxed or super-taxed to the same level as Basic Income received. The level might be a total (including Basic Income) of £30,000, assuming Basic Income of perhaps £15,000 per year. In that case, the person would be taxed the £15,000, leaving £15,000. Yes, there would be apparent unfairness at lower income levels, whereby it might be questioned why work, when you could simply receive the (in the example given) £15,000 and not work. However, even then the recipient does gain, via extra security in case of job loss or illness; alternatively, the threshold could be set higher, say at £50,000 p.a.

Variations on the Basic Income Theme

Instead of money alone, Basic Income could include benefits paid to certain persons, such as free housing for persons receiving less than a certain income. The danger here is in the complexity and cost, as under the existing system, as well as monies wasted going to landlords charging excessive rents. It may be that the way forward is to add to the existing (in the UK) more or less “free” (at point of use) health service, free education at primary and secondary level etc. Examples:

  • free public transport, whether local or regional;
  • free car insurance;
  • free domestic utilities;
  • free NHS or similar;
  • free education.

Basic Income as Necessity

It is clear that, in the UK, relatively few people at present are purely living off what they can earn by work or by investments and/or trust income. 7 million are eligible for Working Tax Credits, millions more are children, retired people, disabled and not working, unemployed etc. For many, working for pay does not cover the basic necessities of life, let alone provide a decent human existence. The State already recognizes these facts.

The explosion in artificial intelligence and robotics will turn the screw. For example, there are at present 356,300 taxi drivers and private hire drivers in the UK. The technology already exists to replace them. It is unlikely that more than a small percentage will still be doing such work in, say, 2030. That’s just one group affected. Groups as diverse as farmers, lawyers, surgeons, pilots, security guards will all be made, as groups, largely redundant.

Basic Income is not just the right thing, but the necessary thing.

Update, 11 March 2019

People generally are now waking up to both the desirability and the practical possibility of Basic Income:

Update, 8 September 2019

The necessity for Basic Income is spreading, but not yet to enough people. Many still think that it is “expensive” (probably the same people who believe that the answer to a recession is to “cut spending”…). There is, however, dissent…
