Saturday quiz

Well, this week a narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 6/10. I scored 7/10, and did not know the answers to questions 3, 5, and 8.

Well over half the adult population of the UK get at least some of their income from social security “welfare” benefits. If you include state pensions in the definition, the figure must be over 60%. Attack people’s survival at your peril, Starmer-stein.

Yes, Farage, as a finance-capitalist promoter, also wants to reduce the “welfare bill”, but if Starmer thinks that the way to stop Reform UK is to say “they will do it too“, he is certainly very mistaken.

There is a necessity to move towards some kind of Basic Income system, once the connected immigration and migration-invasion issue is fully sorted-out.

I have already predicted that on the blog. Look at the House of Lords. Already over 800 members, and by 2029 could be 900 or more. Not one adheres to Reform UK. Farage could either abolish the Lords, or create 1,000 new peers. If he does neither, he may well find any radical legislation blocked.

Correction, Goodwin— 600 so far today. Probably 1,000 of the bastards by the close of play.

Options include sterilization, concentration, deportation, and elimination.

Britain has no need for any new housing at all. What it needs is fewer inhabitants. Fewer (no) migrant-invaders, more (none at present) remigration, more (not much happening at present) deportation, and (not happening at present) elimination of greedy developers.

“Small boat” arrivals are only about 5% of all arrivals by migrants. Concentrating on the “small boats” (however necessary that is) often misses the bigger problem, which is “legal” immigration, and also births to non-Europeans.

The Kiev regime is losing 1,000-2,000 troops on the front-lines every single day. Therefore, the Kiev-regime’s press-gangs abduct potentially-suitable, if unwilling, “recruits” off the streets.

The “recruits” know that to be posted to the front-lines is an almost-guaranteed death sentence, so they fight their abductors, or try to flee. Most fail, and are carted away to be brutally subdued, then given a few weeks of rudimentary training before ending up in the squalid ranks of other impressed “soldiers” on those front-lines. Low or no pay, little food, and an open-ended commitment. No wonder that several hundred thousand have deserted in the past 3+ years.

Russia is winning this unpleasant war; it cannot afford to lose and will not lose, despite its army’s deficiencies.

Quite good, though I could have done without the howling.

Meanwhile, the Jew-Zionists in the UK, such as that dead-eyed woman in Brighton who is very prolific on Twitter/X, say “oh, look, the ‘Pals’ say that we, the Jews, Israeli Jews, are literally starving to death children in Gaza, but here is one starved child in Gaza who may have died from a pre-existing rare medical condition! So the Palestinian Arabs in Gaza are lying!“…

I do not think that “they”, or most of them, even really see themselves, they are so indoctrinated.

…and what about the tens of thousands of Arab children killed by bombing, shooting (including deliberate and sadistic targeting) etc by the Israeli forces over the past 3 years alone?

It’s almost as if, er, “that man” (you know who) was right…

Iran is trying to produce viable nuclear weapons, and is pushing ahead with production of thousands, tens of thousands, of drones, as well as advanced medium to long-range rockets with high-grade conventional warheads in large numbers. When the time comes, the rockets will rain down on Israel. Israel is doomed.

There is a connection, unexplored by any msm “journalists”, connecting “antifascism” and “antifascists”, Zionist Jewish and pro-Israel loonies, and mental illness generally. I blogged about it years ago:

A Labour Friends of Israel member in a Labour Friends of Israel government. Join the dots…

Yvette Cooper and Keir Starmer (both active members of Labour Friends of Israel) listening with apparent respect to the Chief Rabbi of the UK (who was born in South Africa, lived for many years in Israel, and then in Ireland, before arriving in this country).

For a great deal more detail about the activities of “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (especially), Simon Myerson, Daniel Berke, and Beth Grossman (all Jewish solicitors or barristers), please use the search box on the blog.

Of course, Prime Minister’s Questions, invented in fairly recent times [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister%27s_Questions] has become a meaningless ping-pong match and televised spectacle for the masses (in 10-second or 20-second extracts on TV news). It accomplishes little. From that understanding, it is but a step to recognizing the uselessness of Parliament itself.

Once Reform tries and fails to do more than, say, 10% of what is necessary (not just on migration invasion, but across the waterfront), real social nationalism can arise, for the first time since the 1930s.

Wall. Squad. End. (would have been the correct sentence).

The 2026 local elections, which will include parts of Solihull, will probably prove a wipe-out for both Lab and Con. It looks as though Reform’s time has come.

More Israeli war crimes, with yet more upcoming. What a horrible tribe.

I have seen replies to Goodwin’s tweet, those saying that Lucy Connolly would be disqualified from standing by reason of having been sentenced to, or detained for, more than one year. That is not so. Now that she has been released, there is no legal or constitutional bar on her standing for election as an MP.

It would just be brilliant were Lucy Connolly to stand against Yvette Cooper and win. I think it would be possible. Yvette Cooper got a 47.5% vote-share in 2024, with Reform in —fairly good— second place on 29.1%. The Con candidate was well behind on 15%. However, turnout was a mere 48.2%.

Bearing in mind Yvette Cooper’s incompetent showing as Home Secretary, the fall in support for Labour, and the collapse in support for the Conservative Party, it is not implausible to guess that, at the next General Election, the result in that constituency might be to return Lucy Connolly for Reform UK with maybe 50% of the vote, Yvette Cooper for Labour getting maybe 35%, and the Con candidate 5%.

Tactical voting might well play a part. A Con vote in that constituency is a wasted vote now. Also, as said, in 2024, fewer than half of the eligible voters even voted (48.2%), indicating extreme disenchantment with both Lab and Con, the previous main contenders there (in a differently-named constituency on somewhat different boundaries).

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14993783/Russia-makes-key-advance-Ukraines-line-just-days-Trumps-summit-Putin.html

Russia has made a key battlefield breakthrough in Ukraine as Vladimir Putin races to secure as much as land as possible before Friday’s Alaska summit with US President Donald Trump that could finally end war after three gruelling years.

Moscow has reportedly already seized more than 10 kilometres (six miles) of land in its lightning offensive. 

The Ukrainian military estimates some 110,000 Russian troops are advancing in the direction of Pokrovsk in what may prove to be a major breakthrough for Vladimir Putin.

As noted before on the blog, the front-lines of the Kiev regime are crumbling. Losses amount to 1,000-3,000 men daily, and there are large-scale desertions, despite the risks, and severe penalties if caught. To remain in place is a near death sentence, and that is why most men in Ukraine try to avoid or evade the draft. The regime uses press-gangs to kidnap potential recruits off the streets.

Zelensky’s regime of Jew-Zionists, and thick-set Ukrainian thugs, cannot last. The leading members will either flee to other countries or will be captured and dealt with.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14992925/Intoxicated-Nigerian-man-sexually-assaulted-teenager-victim-court-ruined-life.html

A Nigerian man who sexually assaulted a young woman next to Bournemouth beach has been spared jail because of his ‘troubled background and difficult life’.

Ayomide Famakinde, 23, was given a community order by the judge who said the offence was a ‘momentary aberration’.

Famakinde had approached his 19-year-old victim late at night in the Dorset seaside town in August 2022, and put his hands down her jogging bottoms.

As the 19-year-old tried to fight him off, they fell to the ground. 

Famakinde ignored her ‘shouts’ to stop and carried on until he was pulled off the victim by his friend. The two men then walked off together while the teenager was left in tears. 

The victim told Bournemouth Crown Court Famakinde had ‘ruined her life’ and she ‘no longer feels safe walking alone’. 

But a judge ruled the offence was a ‘momentary aberration’ and the defendant had a ‘very troubled background and difficult life’.

Famakinde, a gym instructor from south London, was given an 18-month community order and ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work, as it was deemed that a custodial sentence would be too severe.”

Shadows on the wall of the cave.

There has to be a reason why “they” have been expelled from about 109 states and territories in world history.

[“Foreign Policy magazine published an article titled:

“The next war between Iran and Israel is approaching.”

Iran is preparing for this attack and, unlike the previous war, this time intends to deliver powerful strikes from the very first hours to show that there will be no military occupation by Israel.

The war is predicted to be significantly bloodier than the previous one. If Donald Trump, under pressure from Israel, decides to intervene, the US risks getting involved in a conflict that will be more severe than the war in Iraq.

Key points of the article:

Israel’s June attacks had three goals: to draw the US into a direct war with Iran; to overthrow the Iranian leadership; to turn the country into a “convenient target” like Syria or Lebanon, which can be bombed without US intervention. Only the first goal was fully achieved — and even then, only partially.

Contrary to Israel’s expectations, Trump limited himself to one operation against nuclear facilities and refused to expand the war, forcing Tel Aviv to agree to a truce.

Israel failed to destroy the Iranian state system: even after the assassination of commanders and scientists, Iran quickly restored its military structure and carried out large-scale missile strikes, which, on the contrary, strengthened national unity in the country.

Israel lost part of its air superiority and suffered serious losses in its missile defense system. The US had to transfer 25% of the THAAD missile defense system to its ally within 12 days.

Now Israel will likely try to attack before Iran completes the restoration of its missile and defense capabilities.

Iran threatens a swift and harsh response to disrupt Israel’s “lawn mowing” strategy — regular preemptive strikes.

Article conclusion: The outcome of the next war will depend on who recovers forces faster and closes defense gaps. For Trump, in the second conflict, there will be no “middle ground” — either full intervention or complete refusal to participate.“]

Were I in charge, I should introduce basic income, and free standard class urban and regional transport.

[“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”]

What goes around comes around. Israel is doomed. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but quite soon, I think.

Not enough. Russia must control all Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

Fact is, Trump needs Putin far more than Putin needs Trump.

“Zapad” means “West” in Russian (and Belorussian).

Even so, “Greater Israel” is not supposed to include London, Paris and other European cities…

Only 52%?! It shows how crushed Germany has been since 1945.

…but Goodwin never mentions the primary driver against free speech in the UK— the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel element. At least be honest, Goodwin.

Starmer-stein will continue to bring in “measures” which, though ineffective, can make headlines, and lead on TV news.

Would give Reform UK around 300 MPs, but not a clear Commons majority. Labour around 140, Cons around 90.

That tweeter was the wife and (paid for via MP expenses) assistant to the former MP for Poole, who was narrowly binned at the 2024 General Election. She now runs a party or caucus called #Moderates, which seems to exist only in her own head. Why she thinks that the “Triple Lock” should be done away with, I do not know. Waste of money? I think that is wrong, looking at all the rubbish on which state funds are wasted. At least most pensioners are real British people, for one thing.

Basic Income is the way forward, though.

Any political party threatening the Triple Lock is doomed; pensioners will not vote for it, and the “grey vote” is the most important single factor in any UK general election.

Agreed, but Goodwin fails to address the “two-tier” justice system which favours fanatical Jew-Zionists. They commit crimes online with no consequences, whereas the legitimate online free speech of non-Jews is criminalized.

“Slitherman”, and his co-conspirators at the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, constitute a prime example:

Far right” (like “rightwing”, “left-wing”, “centrist” etc) is just a label. Meaningless.

Deutschland erwache!

Once again, Israeli Jews using starvation as a weapon. After what they have done to Gaza and the people there, the Israeli Jews can just shut up about their “holocaust” farrago, events which are popularly supposed to have occurred 80 or 90 years ago anyway.

Next stop— Tel Aviv.

In any NATO-Russia war, the UK will be the USA’s “unsinkable aircraft carrier”. We shall all, or virtually all, be killed, just so that the US-based NW)-ZOG conspiracy can take on Russia.

Dystopia. This is where the UK is headed; this is where parts already are.

That kind of population cannot, and never could, create a better society. That kind of population cannot even maintain, nor even live peaceably in, the present relatively civilized kind of society. They are of little use, many of them, even as slaves or serfs, and unnecessary in that role, now that automation, computing, AI etc are becoming ubiquitous.

Yes to more English/British children, but no to more children from non-whites resident in the UK.

Even that does not tell the whole story, because quite a high proportion of the grandmothers, or grandfathers, or both, of the remaining 66% are in fact also non-white, non-European.

About 1,600 babies are born daily in the UK. Only about 400 of those are actually English/British, or fully English/British.

8 out of 10 of those countries are very backward, and so are most of the people. As for “Romanians“, I would be prepared to bet that most, the vast majority, are not real Romanians at all but Roma Gypsies.

Refer to earlier comment. The real figure, i.e. children born to wholly or partly non-white English/British parents and grandparents is nearer to 70% now.

Israeli Jews have been and still are killing tens of thousands of defenceless Arab Palestinian children. Fact.

Eventually, though, there will be a big bang. Then, no Tel Aviv…

In Central London. Amazing.

USG” = “U.S. Government”. As for Russia’s economy “starting to creak”, has Steele taken a look closer to home recently? UK, EU states etc…

Steele [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Steele] was an officer of SIS/MI6 1987-2009 who, in more recent times, has worked in the private sector, and has been involved, inter alia, in preparing “black propaganda” dossiers of doubtful veracity targeting Trump and others, and Russian interests generally. He cannot now conveniently travel in either Russia or the USA, and is believed to live and/or have property in Surrey, south-west of London.

According to Wikipedia etc, Steele acted as a paid FBI source between 2014-2016, and was paid around USD $100,000 in toto.

In my opinion, probably not at all reliable.

As an outsider, not involved in secret activities, I have always been sceptical of the value of the SIS/MI6 apparat. I still am. Where are the successes? (and it is no answer to reply that they have to be kept secret).

Looking at Steele’s tweet, I might bat back at him the same question, but about his own activity— cui bono?

I have just looked at a few recent tweets by Steele. He is, it seems to me, in danger of becoming obsessed by the idea of Trump as Russian secret (or not-so-secret) agent.

Reminiscent of those SIS/MI6 and MI5 oddities of the 1960s and 1970s (Peter Wright, Stephen de Mowbray etc) who were convinced that the D-G of MI5, Roger Hollis, and others (including the Prime Minister, Harold Wilson) were Soviet agents: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Wright_(MI5_officer); and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_de_Mowbray; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Hollis.

Using Electoral Calculus, that would suggest Reform 276 MPs, Labour 199, LibDem 73, Cons 47, SNP 24. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Reform has probably fallen back a bit by reason of two factors: its kneejerk pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby pronouncements, and the perception (seen in comments by pro-Reform Matt Goodwin, as well in some by Tice etc) that Reform wants to radically cut back the Welfare State.

As for the Conservative Party, probably damaged beyond repair now. 14 years of terrible misgovernment in almost all if not all areas, and now “led” by hopeless Nigerian woman Kemi Badenoch.

[“I loathe disability cuts full-stop from any party, what an absolute disgrace. But let’s be quite clear, Tories are opposing them BECAUSE THEY DON’T GO FAR ENOUGH. That is an appalling position to adopt, unpopular & mad, look at how the public’s reacted to Labour’s plans! I’d almost respect that despicable position more if they at least backed Labour’s intention to bring welfare bills down, it looks more principled – if you believe in disability cuts which dear lord I don’t. So Labour want to bring in horrific cuts, Tories (and Reform) want deeper cuts but Tories will oppose even though they agree with the mission but think it’s underpowered. Beyond unprincipled. The vote tonight reveals an all-round shitshow of cruelty, cynicism and performative opposition. No wonder voters despair.“]

The only thing that makes System MPs afraid is […COMMENT REDACTED because the UK no longer has much freedom of speech…].

That is because Starmer-stein and his cabal are not really a Labour government, except in terms of label; they are a Labour Friends of Israel regime. Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, all of that rubbish lot.

High Peak is an unfortunate constituency. First they had Conservative Friends of Israel MP Robert Largan (2017-2024), now they have Labour Friends of Israel MP Jon Pearce (2024-). The difference is mainly the party label.

What price “democracy” when, whomsoever you vote for, you get a Friends of Israel drone?

95% or more of the vulgarly-named “Jobcentres” could be shut down, 99.99% of the ludicrously-named “job coaches” etc (most of whom are probably otherwise unemployable themselves) could be dismissed; huge numbers of buildings could be shut down, saving billions.

Quite. It is the hypocrisy emanating not only from Liz Kendall etc but also from the evil Conservative Party MPs such as Ian Dunce Duncan Smith that is so nauseating.

Also, where is the understanding about how automation, computers, now AI too, already affect and will increasingly affect employment? Marx (arguably) started the ball rolling on that (discussion of the effects), and that was 150 years ago.

I am surprised that Iran has (apparently) not thought of using 1980s-style Soviet-engineered atomic “suitcase bombs” in both the USA and Israel. The original ones were powerful enough to destroy anything within a radius of about 1-2 miles of the point of detonation.

Quite dispersed. At least 6 or 7 target zones. I have seen tweets suggesting nearly over 500 actual points of impact.

Remember Clausewitz. Concentration of forces. Schwerpunkt.

People generally are pretty tired of that whole hypocrisy of government saying that cuts to disability and other State benefits are somehow being “kind” or “caring”. Not so. At best, callous and aimed at “saving money” (which will then be really wasted, elsewhere). At worst, a refined form of cruelty and indeed sadism. Ian Dunce Duncan Smith, a fraud, an expenses cheat, and a total deadhead, was one of the first to do this.

In the end, some form of Basic Income, even if very modest, must be the way forward. End the bureaucratic nonsense of jumping through hoops, snooping, “assessments” etc.

Starmer-stein— no ideals, no ideas, no decency, no honesty. Just a freeloading, careerist, pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, little bastard. Utterly clueless and incompetent as well.

I too agree. As I blogged at the time of the Brize Norton incursion, had the MOD or RAF had even one dozy security guard or policeman, unarmed but awake, on duty, the protesters would have been scared off or, even if not scared off, easily detained or arrested within a few minutes, once back-up had been summoned.

Only the Jew-Zionist lobby (effectively saying what the Israeli Embassy says) is calling Palestine Action “terrorist”, when in fact they are just protesters utilizing direct action. If they damage anything, then charge them with criminal damage, not “terrorism”. That’s just ridiculous.

Fixing it? Starmer-stein’s little cabal of pro-Israel freeloaders is doing even worse, incredibly, than the brainless “Conservatives” during 2010-2024.

Mark Lewis, very far from the hotshot lawyer persona he has been “cosplaying” for many years, backed by other Jews in the mass media etc. A lawyer at best semi-competent, really quite incompetent, indeed professionally negligent, and utterly dishonest.

Ah. Interesting. Looks as though the numbers of alleged victims have been edited down. I thought that the Jews/Israelis were still claiming that about 1,000, or even 1,500, had been killed. Seems that (as happened at the “reconstructed” site of the early 1940s Auschwitz camp, where a “4 million victims” sign was officially altered to about a quarter of that figure), the 1,500 supposedly killed by Palestinian Arabs in southern Israel in 2023 is now 378, at least at the festival itself. The other hundreds of victims, if they existed at all, were presumably killed by the brutal Israeli armed forces themselves as “collateral damage”.

None of that, though, explains how the Israeli Jews (and those supporting them in the UK and elsewhere) think that the deaths of 378 Jews etc by a particular paramilitary/political group somehow justifies the killing by Israeli Jewish forces of anything up to 200,000 Palestinian Arabs, mostly civilian, mostly women and children (about half of the victims being under 18 years of age). Retaliation? Revenge? Blood lust? Cruelty and sadism?

The disproportion is incredible.

Bombing, white phosphorus bombing, flamethrower attacks, drone attacks, shooting, grenade attacks, cutting off of medical supplies, cutting off of food, cutting off of water, shooting people lining up for food and water.

“They” are still whining about (alleged) German actions 80-95 years ago, yet look at what is happening now in Gaza, the West Bank, Iran etc!

Of course, the Israeli Jewish game-plan seems to be to kill as many Gazans as possible, and to incarcerate the rest in concentration camps (under some such name as “safe areas”), so that Jews can colonize Gaza again.

I missed that ridiculous jamboree in Venice. Thankfully.

It merely means that five percent of our defense units became engaged with the enemy.“]

Monte Carlo— “a sunny place for shady people“, as Somerset Maugham remarked.

Too wide, arguably (see the full list). Central Tel Aviv, the Ben-Gurion Airport, and (not targeted, apparently) Dimona would be the prime targets.

Starmer-stein and his Cabinet and whips can hardly, at least credibly, threaten Labour rebels with deselection etc, when all present polling is suggesting that, come the next general election, only about 100-150 Labour MPs out of the present 403 will retain their seats anyway.

Another Israeli Jewish war crime.

Seems that even Labour MP-drones, some of them, have some residual decency, and are appalled by the flagrant indecency of the Israeli Jews killing mothers and babies, and the UK Government torturing and effectively killing the sick and disabled.

Or is all of that just a convenient way of dumping Starmer-stein and “Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves?

Surely, the American attack, preceded by the Israeli attacks, has sent a message to Teheran, and the message is “strike Israel and the USA in a way both will find absolutely devastating“. That would not be the intended message, of course, but I think that that is the message Teheran actually received…The Iranian response may not come for years but when it does, it will be something really game-changing.

Only one thing will stop “them”.

I saw that little weasel on TV, smirking by the side of “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves in the Commons. Only now can I identify the bastard.

Here he is, being questioned by Victoria Derbyshire:

A weaselling little hypocrite, like so many of Starmer-stein’s “senior” appointees.

Darren Jones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Jones.

I suppose that I am old-fashioned enough to tend to think that someone called “Darren” should never be an MP in the first place but, leaving that (which I concede is probably unfair) aside, this particular Darren is the very personification of the German saying “put a beggar on a horse and he rides it to death.

According to Wikipedia, the weasel is married to some fake “social entrepreneur” whose business failed. She is now apparently making money out of the “net zero” nonsense championed by the fake “Labour” government of which her own husband is a key member.

Jones is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, like all or almost all of the Starmer-stein government.

Listen to his dishonest weaselling in that Victoria Derbyshire interview. A soulless, heartless careerist.

It is almost funny how typical Westminster Bubble scribbler/talking-head types such as Nicholas Watt talk about speculative economic figures as if they have some kind of reality. “Real disposable household income to rise this year by twice as much as expected“…as of now, just empty words from “Rachel from Accounts”; meaningless.

I agree. Basic Income (at some level or levels) is the way to go. Do away with making amputees, the chronically-sick, and/or the unemployed jump through hoops. Shut down 90% of the DWP, and much of HMRC (which latter is like something written by Franz Kafka).

Not just a question of fairness or compassion. Basic Income works.

The first test of the public mood will probably be the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, about which I have blogged in the past few days. The pollsters and bookmakers are forecasting a probably marginal or modest win for Reform UK. I disagree, though I do see from where that comes, looking at the fact that, in 2024, the constituency was the 16th-safest Labour seat. However, much has changed since the General Election of 2024 and, in any case, only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted Labour even in 2024 (4 out of every 12 actual voters) in the country as a whole.

I am thinking that Reform will smash the by-election, despite the fact that Labour got over 50% in 2024 while Reform only got 18.1% (Cons 16%).

Everything has changed since July 2024:

a. the imperative desire to kick out a “Conservative” government headed by a (perceivedly) “unelected” and non-white PM (by voting Labour) is no longer there;

b. the continuing migration-invasion;

c. the harsh sentences given to people who supported the anti-invader protesters last summer;

d. the taking away of the pensioners’ Winter Fuel Allowance money;

e. the freeloading —and what amounts to casual petty corruption— of Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner etc.

Now also the latest terrible attack on the sick, disabled, and unemployed, as bad as anything done by the Conservative Party in office 2010-2024.

Former Labour voters will either not vote or will change to Reform, to punish Labour. Former Conservative voters will (though how many ?) vote Reform as a quite (and the only) realistic way of sticking it to Labour, Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves etc. People who favour Reform anyway will be motivated to vote because they know that this time they can win. People normally perhaps unlikely to vote, but who want to yell “NO!” to everything happening in this country, will mostly vote Reform.

On that basis, I think that it is possible that there could be a stunning win for Reform. If that happens, it will be the death-knell of the Starmer-stein fake “Labour”-label government, despite the fact that it has 4+ years left in office, in theory.

Election Day has not yet been notified but is widely expected to be 1 May 2025. Just under 5 weeks from today.

There is no Labour Party now, as previously understood, just one of the several labels behind which is NWO/ZOG, Israeli manipulation, Jewish-lobby manipulation etc. The Conservative Party is the other main label. Both are losing not only public support, but almost all connection with the public.

Many of the present MPs only fear one thing.

Leaving that aside, it will be great to see hundreds of those petty careerists lose their seats, and their salaries and expenses. That was the best thing about the 2024 General Election, when hundreds of “Conservative” MPs lost their comfortable way of life. I hope to see the same (if not more, and “worse”) applied to the present Labour Party MPs.

Acc. to Electoral Calculus, that translates to 215 Commons seats for Reform (largest party, but a plurality and not a majority: Lab 153, Con 151, LibDem 61, Greens 6 etc). A minority Reform government, with some kind of Con support, probably.

I think there’s been some confusion online in recent weeks so let me clarify my view If you arrive illegally in this country you should be deported If you are a foreign national and break the laws of this country, you should be deported And if you are a dual national who is convicted of rape gang activity, you should be deported If you read my Substack newsletter or watch my show you will know these are my views and yes I have changed my views in recent years I think losing control of our borders while presiding over mass controlled immigration has been one of the most extreme and damaging policies the elite class has pursued It will go down in the history books as one of the biggest policy failures on record It has undermined our economy, divided our nation and weakened our democracy Only by doing what I suggest above, alongside dramatically slashing the amount of legal immigration into Britain, and removing Indefinite Leave to Remain, will we restore public trust in the system and our democracy Where I draw the line, however, is against those who think it is somehow desirable or possible to deport British nationals. It is neither. Which basically puts me where the average voter is. So that’s where I stand. Remove those who break our laws while respecting the British people who respect and uphold our laws.

There you see the weakness of the Matt Goodwin/Farage/Reform UK position. Blacks, browns, and others with a piece of cardboard called a “British passport”, are apparently OK to stay, and to breed.

That would still mean that Britain will become majority non-white sometime later this century.

Unacceptable.

I was just looking yesterday, as I drove through, at the shopping area in the town very close to where I live. An affluent small town in coastal Southern England.

The big chains are mostly still there (Boots, Costa Coffee, Greggs, Holland & Barrett, M&S food hall, Waitrose etc), but the small independent shops have, many of them, closed up and disappeared. Why? Well, as I predicted at the time would happen, the sinister yet farcically-stupid “Covid” “rules”, “laws”, restrictions etc, so unnecessary (and utterly ridiculous), killed off those small businesses (despite furlough payments etc), and the knock-on effects of a poorer population also drove those shops to the wall over the past few years.

Examples? Well, the small barber-shop I once used, run by an old retired merchant seaman and his wife, which also employed a few local ladies, is no more. The old man died (nothing to do with the scamdemic/panicdemic, by the way), and his wife decided that she preferred to shut up shop. However, that was 2-3 years ago. The shop remains empty, as are those on either side (formerly a computer and office supplies place, and a junk shop).

A couple of new barber-shops have opened in the nearby High Street, true, but those are staffed by non-Brits (either Turkish or Kurdish).

I noticed, yesterday, that several small cafes are now closed, as is what had been a Cornish pasty shop. Some independent clothes shops too.

I went to the local Waitrose for the first time in months, mainly because I had £50 in gift tokens, and found that it has further declined since last summer. Not as many customers as there used to be at a similar time of day. Still, I bought 6 or 7 jars of red caviar, so that must have helped them.

More seriously, it is clear that people in the UK have been made much poorer not only because of the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic and its knock-on effects, but also because pay —not only recently but over the past few decades— has not kept pace with inflation, and particularly inflation in that most basic of needs— shelter, or housing.

Now “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves is sucking money out of the economy, and particularly out of the retail sector. The result will be further economic decline.

A measure of Basic Income must be the way forward.

That reminds me of the hypocritical part-Jew, David Cameron-Levita, who despite inherited tens of millions, went all-out to claim disability benefits and Carer’s Benefit for his sick and disabled child, but later —via Iain Dunce Duncan Smith and the Jew “lord” Freud— took away the same monies from poor people who really needed the cash.

[“Where did you go, Charlie? Well, hello everyone! Yes, it is really me. I am back! As a great number of you had noticed, I have been missing online for almost two months now. I disappeared almost as soon as the trial for the Southport Massacre ended. Public opinion and concern has been split as to why I went missing; between those who thought I had a breakdown after covering the massacre, and those who thought I had caved to government pressure to stop reporting upon the cover-up. Neither of these, thanks to the strength of public feeling and the support of my colleagues, is true. What really happened? Three days after the trial ended, my X/Twitter account was hacked. My profile remained intact; live but inactive. Except for one thing…My viral timeline of the Southport massacre had been unpinned and DELETED. This timeline had been collated on the day of Axel Rudakubana’s sentencing, and detailed exactly what had taken place on that dreadful summer’s day in Southport. It exposed how the UK Government had failed time and time again to prevent this monster from moving about with freedom, and what they and other authorities had done to cover-up their incompetence, and the devastating consequences of their political agenda. This timeline had been see by 50 million people within 3 days – and was recognised as one of the most authoritative records of the Southport massacre. But, just as my account was gaining momentum, and I had the platform to explore the depth of the corruption in this case – including the anti-white sentiment of Rudakubana being glossed over by the Establishment and mainstream media – this detailed timeline of evidence was deleted, and I was locked out the account until this morning. (More on this to follow.) I do not know who did this to me, or what caused X to withhold my account from me for almost two months. But there is one thing of which I am certain: Whoever did this did not want the hideous truth about the Southport Massacre in the public domain…“]

This must be the death of the Labour Party as anything even notionally “socialist” or even “social-democratic”. It goes way beyond anything done by Blair and Brown, or even Cameron-Levita’s “Conservative” regime during 2010-2015.

Why would anyone, especially anyone English/British, vote Labour-label now?

The by-election at Runcorn and Helsby now takes on an importance few would have expected. It is or was the 16th-“safest” Labour seat. Now, Reform has a good chance of winning it, according to opinion polls, bookmakers etc. I would go further: Reform has at least a pretty good chance of smashing the by-election, and thus humiliating both Lab and Con.

At the 2024 General Election, Labour got over 50% of the vote. We are now in a different political world. Reform came second last year, ahead of the Conservative Party.

The by-election is between Reform and fake Labour. The Cons have no chance, and their former voters, if they want to bin Labour, should vote Reform, even if only tactically. That is, surely, obvious.

I blogged about the by-election in more detail yesterday:

The madness of fomenting war with Russia continues

EU crisis management commissioner Hadja Lahbib said the proposals will be formally presented today as part of a broader ‘preparedness strategy’.

Brussels is hoping to ensure every citizen is equipped for 72 hours of self-sufficiency amid the growing threat of continental conflict breaking out.

EU citizens will be told to stock up on a dozen key items, including matches, ID documents in a waterproof punch, bottled water, energy bars and a flashlight, as part of their ‘resilience’ kit. 

European leaders have said the invasion of Ukraine could soon break out into a ‘global’ war.”

So what do the unfortunate people of the EU states and UK do once the 72 hours have passed, and the 3-days’ supplies have run out? Kill themselves? Kill the System politicians? (Hey, now… wait a minute…).

Lewis should be struck off the solicitors’ roll; it should have happened many years ago.

There are two ridiculous shibboleths around politico-economic discussion in the msm of the UK. The first is taking seriously the absurd “Office for Budget Responsibility” or “OBR”, which is wrong most of the time. The second is the phrase “the markets”, as in “the markets will not accept this, that, or the other“.

Start by stopping all aid and assistance both to the Jewish state of Israel and to the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.

Only revolutionary social nationalism can both save the UK and build something better for the future. We need to take control, and eliminate evil.

That Torsten Bell idiot is so obviously a careerist and hypocrite. Frighteningly thick, too, for all the Oxford PPE degree etc, and with no real principles or ideals, or even ideas. Just a careerist drone. Sickening. This is neo-Blairism without even the fig-leaf of public good that Labour displayed 1997-2010.

I looked up the idiot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsten_Bell.

The Torsten Bell idiot reiterates the now-standard bs (first seen per Dunce Duncan Smith etc, during the 2010-2015 years of the Cameron-Levita “Conservative” government) about how cutting the income of those already poor or very poor somehow saves them from being “written off”! The sheer lying hypocrisy is stunning.

When I see lying hypocrites and System careerists such as Torsten Bell, I think “that is why you need concentration camps” (at very least).

I see from Wikipedia that that Bell individual is 42, 43 later this year; looks and sounds like a recent graduate, though he must have graduated 20 years ago. No weight, very very unconvincing, and also very plainly in it (politics) for his own benefit.

That little Torsten Bell blot seems oblivious to the fact that, in contrasting what the Starmer-stein “Labour”-label misgovernment is doing with what he calls the “Tory welfare system“, he is actually presenting even the cruel/callous policies of the Conservatives from 2010-2024 as having been better (less cruel and less callous) than those of Starmer-stein, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, and Liz Kendall.

I thought that that tweet was worth reproducing in detail, especially since the lady who tweeted it later deleted it for some reason (possibly upset).

Voters of Runcorn and Helsby, send this evil “Labour”-label misgovernment a message by voting Reform at the upcoming by-election. No matter if you do not like Farage, or disagree with some Reform policies. The thing to do is to stick it to both Labour and the equally-misnamed Conservatives.

In an ideal world, I should like very bad things to happen to many System politicians but, in view of the fact that we live in a gradually-encroaching police state, I prefer to say no more, and to let the readers of the blog read between the lines.

Labour support declining even among formerly enthusiastic young people (I think it stood at about 80% at one point a couple of years ago); interestingly, Reform support has grown from just a few percent to 13% over the past couple of years.

Because Starmer-stein’s own attitude has transmitted itself to his Cabinet and thence to almost all Labour MPs…i.e. “we are the masters now“, but I remember how rattled and, in a word, scared, they all were when the so-called “riots” (protests) happened last summer. I think they were at least slightly wondering whether they would end up dangling from lamp-posts, as happened to the Communist secret policemen of the HVA after the eruption of the Hungarian Uprising in 1956.

The arrogant and cruel attitude of the Starmer-stein government might and in fact would turn to grovelling supplication if a British uprising were to occur.

On the wider question, Basic Income is the only way forward.

If Reform can win the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, the momentum created will weaken fake Labour even more, and all but finish off the increasingly less relevant “Conservative” Party.

They do this whilst also being justifiably proud of the magnificent art, literature & music of Chinese, Japanese and Indian civilisation.

They cannot stand that an Englishman is the greatest writer the world has ever produced. It sticks in their craw and they will do anything to diminish and downplay that achievement.”

Britons need to adopt a similar attitude now. Dominated by nihilistic, self-loathing ideologues, our cultural and academic institutions are responsible for much of the anti-British propaganda we encounter. We must remember that WE, British taxpayers, fund these quangos, museums, galleries, universities etc. The government doesn’t have any money. It spends OUR money. If publicly funded institutions create anti-British exhibitions, lecture us on the evils of our past, give us a guilt trip about slavery and the British Empire, denigrate our heroes, or simply demoralise our people, they should lose their funding. That’s the most effective way to retaliate. From Arts Council England to Tate Britain and the National Theatre, potentially hundreds of these bodies are eroding national self confidence.

She has a point.

As for Goodwin, I recently flagged the possibility, no more, that he might be on the following trajectory— win a by-election (Runcorn & Helsby?) as a Reform UK candidate, take over from Farage the leadership of Reform (with Farage’s support), and then (once Reform has become the largest party in the Commons after the next general election ) become Prime Minister.

It might just happen.

However, as that tweeter “Serena Brown” notes, either the UK becomes again a homogenous society, or it does not. There would be no point in a Reform UK government if it were unwilling to take the steps necessary.

This is not merely about immigration, and certainly not only about that relatively small part of immigration which comes in via the infamous “small boats”. It is about the non-whites already here, who are breeding much faster than the English/British, who themselves are not even reproducing their own numbers.

When we see Reform, we notice that it is ideologically in hock to the Jew-Zionist lobby, and pathetically adherent to Israel and Israeli interests.

Starmer-stein is not a Labour prime minister (even of the Tony Blair/Gordon Brown type); he is a Labour Friends of Israel prime minister, and that applies, mutatis mutandis, to virtually his entire Cabinet.

Starmer-stein and his Cabinet should face real resistance from the British people.

Meanwhile, Starmer-stein continues to try to play the “world statesman” and would-be war leader, and looks ever-more pathetic as he makes that attempt.

When simply noting the totally obvious sounds radical…

That influx of non-white doctors has another consequence: by reason of the high pay received by doctors in the UK, any offspring are automatically given a better life-chance than most white English/British children. The knock-on result is that more non-whites are going to be placed into the higher socio-economic groups in the UK, thus further weakening our civilized European culture and society.

Exactly. Reform is the last hope of many, but it is also the last chance for the System itself to survive. If Reform is squashed or disappears, we are looking at quite likely civil war, or social war, and the national revolution, down the line. However, if Reform manages to be either the largest or second-largest party after 2028 or 2029, or even in government with a Commons majority, but then fails to take the steps necessary, we shall also be looking at not-unlikely civil/social war.

We must not forget that the Jew-Zionist element is embedded in Reform. One only has to look at the pronouncements of Farage, Tice, and now Goodwin.

Still, at present, Reform UK is the only game in town:

Hopefully, that little bully will be found and prosecuted, but of course his punishment, if any, will be slight, in the present society.

When the law ceases to be respected, or enforced (by reason of weak and/or politicized police, prosecutors, courts), such lawlessness leads, in the end, to the public taking the law into their own hands, and meting out more condign punishment to evildoers.

Not for nothing has “the Bailey” (Central Criminal Court, London) the following inscription on its facade: Punish the evildoer, and protect the children of the poor

I agree, but it may be that Reform has to succeed but then crash and burn before a social-national movement (of any type) can arise.

My question is whether Goodwin himself is going to be the candidate…

If so, the date of the by-election will soon be set, maybe even tomorrow.

The government says it wants to make significant savings on welfare payments to the disabled and help the disabled into work. The point, say all ministers – led Sir Keir Starmer – is not to harm the disabled, but to free them from a life of dependency. That, they claim, is why this is a truly “Labour” reform — and not just brutal cuts engineered by Rachel Reeves because she needs billions in savings so as not to breach arbitrary, self-imposed fiscal rules on the assessment date of 26 March. Is any of this plausible?

The first thing to say is the point of fiscal rules should be to help focus minds in government about how best to share scarce resources between different important resources. They should not set hard deadlines for making decisions with potentially profound consequences for the lives of millions of people.

We’ve already seen an example of the political dangers of trying to rush through changes to personal independence payments (PIP) and the health related elements of universal credit – because one element that was particularly upsetting to Labour MPs has already been dropped, namely a one year freeze on PIP payments.

But as my colleague Anushka Asthana has been exclusively disclosing for the last ten days, this was only one part of the welfare reform package. The other elements were to restrict entitlement to personal independence payments, while cutting the health-related universal credit payments and recycling those UC savings into an increase in the standard rate of UC. You can see in this the simple story and perhaps simplistic story about welfare payments to the disabled that the government believes and is trying to tell.

First, that hundreds of thousands of people receive cash to help with their living and mobility costs, but don’t “deserve” it.

Second, that the structure of UC payments provides too great an incentive to disabled people to sign themselves off work to get the health-related benefits top up.

Starmer will doubtless take comfort from the fact that – according to polling by the Good Growth Foundation – 60% believe the system provides too much support to people who don’t want to work and 39% think that it’s too easy for people to get benefits who don’t need them. But popular belief does not make it true. And before going further into the nitty gritty, it is worth doing a quick economic reality check. It is a fact that the proportion of British people in employment has fallen since Covid and, unlike many other rich economies, has not recovered to 2019 levels. But the proportion of British people who are working remains high by international standards. According to the OECD, in the third quarter of 2023 the UK ranked fifth in the world, with an employment rate of 74.9%, well ahead of the US for example, and behind only Iceland, the Netherlands, Japan and Germany

Even if it is a laudible ambition to encourage more people into work. The UK’s is not an economy whose failure is that too few people are working. The grotesque failure of the British economy is hardly a mystery.

It is that living standards for those in work have barely increased for more than 15 years and too many of those in work receive too little to pay even for food, energy and other essentials.

Pretty much every competitor country whose employment rate has recovered to pre-covid levels has higher productivity and higher wages than the UK. Which might tell you that Britain’s problem is not that its benefit system is skewiff but that it’s the labour market itself that is broken, that remunerated toil in Britain delivers inadequate incentives. And by the way, we don’t have a benefit system in the UK that is remotely generous or lavish by international standards.

Research published only last week by the National Institute for Economic and Social Research showed that we spend less on welfare as a share of GDP than the average for developed nations.

Also when it comes to the so-called replacement rate – what any unemployed person receives as a proportion of earnings from employment – only the unemployed in Australia and the US receive less.

Unemployment payments are significantly higher everywhere else in Europe, for example.

And another thing. As the Joseph Rowntree Foundation has shown, standard universal credit does not cover the costs of basics and essentials, for families or single people. “Ah ha!” you may exclaim, especially if you are the PM or chancellor. Surely this proves that there is a unhealthy incentive in the UC system for any claimant to prove that he or she has “limited capacity for work or work related activity” – to be diagnosed as unfit for work – so that their UC entitlements would go (for a single person) from £400 to £823, a month. But is an extra £106 a week the kind of incentive that would persuade a vulnerable person to permanently shut down their availability for work?

And if it were cut and partly offset by a rise in standard universal credit – which is what Starmer plans – would that persuade the vulnerable person to look for jobs?

That doesn’t feel compelling as an argument – especially in a world where most employers are reluctant to employ disabled people, let alone retain them on their books.

So another concern about the timing of these welfare changes is they come well before the findings of an equally important government review, that by former John Lewis boss Charlie Mayfield about how employers can be helped to retain and hire disabled people. Later this week he will publish his “discovery” document, about why employers struggle to keep in employment those who start to feel unwell, especially those suffering from mental ill-health. However Mayfield is still months away from recommendations.

In other words, it feels cart-before-horse to take cash from the disabled before a new support system is in place for employers to keep on their books those who are struggling.

As for the proposal to increase the threshold for those claiming the PIP, this will have an impact both on new claimants and those in receipt who are subject to review. How many disabled people could see their PIP payments reduced or withdrawn altogether?

Very large numbers indeed, according to the Resolution Foundation if it remains the Treasury’s aim to find net savings of up to £6bn by 2029-30. Louise Murphy of the Foundation estimates that more than 600,000 people, most on low incomes, would lose £675 a month on average.

Obviously this is all still hypothetical. Proper judgement awaits publication of the Liz Kendall’s policy paper tomorrow. But a change in entitlement on that magnitude will generate massive anxieties in those who both receive PIP and may need it in future.

None of this is to argue that any government should ignore the forecast that on current trends the cost of PIP is set to rise by £15bn by 2029 or that large numbers of especially young people are being excluded by disability from the world of work too young. It is to suggest that reforms that could reduce benefit bills in the long run will require large expenditure in the short term on mental health provision, skills, rewiring coaching and job search at the DWP, occupational health support for companies and so on.

A rational approach would see the costs of supporting the disabled rise in the short term. It would be an investment programme, not a cuts programme. With the supposedly all-important fiscal assessment looming, we’ll see if that’s what Starmer , Kendall and Reeves unveil. 2/2

A long comment, but important.

For me, the answer to all this a a “basic income” system, whereby all citizens (note, citizens, not any African or Afghan or similar just off the boat) get some modest amount of income regardless of any factor such as contribution, need, or “deservedness”.

That would also save vast amounts by enabling the shutdown of 95% of the DWP bureaucracy.

Well worth reposting, even 5+ years on.

Giles Anthony Fraser (born 27 November 1964)[3] is an English Anglican priest, journalist and broadcaster who has served as Vicar of St Anne’s Church, Kew, since 2022.[4] He is a regular contributor to Thought for the Day and The Guardian and a panellist on The Moral Maze, as well as an assistant editor of UnHerd.

Fraser was born to a Jewish father and a Christian mother and was circumcised according to Jewish tradition.[5]

Fraser…has lectured on moral leadership for the British Army at the Defence Academy at Shrivenham.

On 16 January 2016, Fraser announced his engagement to Lynn Tandler, an Israeli Jew,[23] who is a weaver and academic researcher.[24] They were married on 13 February 2016.[2][non-primary source needed] Their son was born in November of the same year.[25]

DNA is ingrained. People can change their views, but not their DNA.

The modern “bread and circuses”.

I recall seeing the Australian TV series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo a few times after my family moved to Sydney in 1967 (I was 10 at the time). The show was on TV from early 1968.

TV shows and films such as Skippy may seem like sentimental rubbish to some people, and to some extent they may be, but there are innumerable examples of the intelligence and capabilities of our animal friends. Some such stories become famous, others are either unknown or are known only to the few people directly involved.

Something of the sort will eventually have to come to the UK.

Interesting. I have been to Famagusta (now in Turkish-ruled Northern Cyprus), but some years ago, in fact many years ago— January 2000. I did not see the ruins of the Varosha resort, though. That is a mile south of the main town, I think.

When I drove to Famagusta (from Kyrenia), the ruins of its ancient heritage were deserted. My then girlfriend and I were alone there. There were not even any people selling postcards or the like. Even the more modern parts of the town were far from busy. That was 24 years ago, though. Things change, of course. I think that there has been quite a lot of development in some areas.

I rather liked Northern Cyprus. Relaxed and, in 2000 at least, with relatively few tourists, and really none once you left Kyrenia (officially, now, Girne). A little cold at night (in January) but warm-ish during the day, usually, and with numerous interesting ancient sites (which one shared with no other people at all) set amid orange groves. I even had a rather bracing swim off a deserted beach, but it was no colder in the water than it is in the UK in summer, and the sun was shining.

I drove one day from Kyrenia right the way down the Karpas Peninsula [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpas_Peninsula] to the eastern end. At that point, you are only 60 miles across the Eastern Mediterranean from Latakia in Syria.

General Election 2024— Clacton

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/tories-clacton-voters-nigel-farage-reform

In a straw poll of veterans, Farage’s campaign message seemed to be getting through.

Jason Stewart was in a green beret and a biker jacket studded with medals; after a long career in the Royal Marines, he “thought it was time to get out after I was blown up twice in one day in Afghanistan”.

He offers a version of an argument heard all day. “The two main parties look both the same to me,” he says. “The Tories don’t care about us. And Labour say they will reopen prosecutions of soldiers who served [in the Troubles] so that’s a no-no. Farage and Reform seem like the only option.”

Up the road, meanwhile, opposite McDonald’s, there was an alternative display of army jeeps and vehicles alongside veterans in fatigues. The display was organised by David Bye and his partner, Linda Hazelton, who run a charity delivering homemade pie and mash to needy veterans around the town. Bye had a one-to-one chat with Farage when he visited and claims he was given certain commitments, which will remain between them.

He grew up here; he remembers earning pocket money as a kid running tourist luggage down busy streets to Butlin’s. It’s been a long decline, he says, since the holiday camp went. “I thought I’d seen it all,” he says. “But the other morning I saw a long queue of blokes on bikes waiting for McDonald’s to open. They were collecting takeaways for people who couldn’t be bothered to make breakfast for their kids.

“I don’t know where you start with some of that,” he suggests. “But I think Nigel gets it.

The place holds symbolic relevance to Farage. Exactly a decade ago, under his Ukip brand, a meeting here paved the way for that party’s only Westminster election success, for Douglas Carswell. If you were to define the moment that Brexit became a possibility, and then a reality, you might begin there. Nine hundred people showed up, many of whom had not previously taken any interest in national politics. In the course of their populist pitch, Carswell and Farage quoted liberally from a Times newspaper column the previous week written by Matthew Parris.

Looking back at that column a decade on, you can see in it all the faultlines that were exposed and exploited so cynically by Farage and Brexit, the roots of the crisis that threatens to destroy the Conservative party in this election (a humiliation from which Farage, inevitably, hopes to benefit).

Parris, in his waspish style, on a visit to Clacton in 2014, had declared its irrelevance to modern Conservatism: “This is tracksuit-and-trainers Britain, tattoo-parlour Britain, all-our-yesterdays Britain,” he wrote. He asked his party a question which would now get a very different answer: “Is this where the Conservative party wants to be? [Or] do we need to be with the Britain that can admire immigrants and want them with us, that doesn’t want to spend its days buying scratchcards?

Parris insisted that he was not “arguing that we should be careless of the needs of struggling people and places such as Clacton. But I am arguing – if I am honest – that we should be careless of their opinions.

Farage could not have scripted a better scene for himself than the spectacle of a Tory prime minister leaving the D-day celebrations early. Tragically, as this week is proving, the forces that made his bleak and divisive message relevant in 2014 have not gone away, and in the weeks to come you suspect that Westminster political parties will still ignore Clacton at their peril.”

[The Guardian].

Not once does the full article mention the fact that the person presently posing as PM is “unelected” (at least, unvalidated by a General Election) and a little Indian money-juggler; but there you are…”The Guardian”…

Interesting, though, all the same. I think that Farage has every chance of being elected at Clacton. The only reason that the Conservative Party candidate Giles Watling (MP since 2017, a long-retired actor, and a member of the Garrick Club, who lives at Frinton, the more expensive part of the constituency) got over 70% of the vote in 2019 is because his political stance is akin to that of UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform UK anyway.

Watling came second, behind ex-Conservative Douglas Carswell (for UKIP) both at the 2014 by-election and the 2015 General Election, and only won in 2017 because Carswell stood down. Having said that, Watling did get 36.7% in 2015, only about 8 points behind Carswell.

While the election at Clacton might yet be close, Farage has every chance now. Labour and other parties are spectators at Clacton. Labour’s best was 25.4% (in 2017, when the Cons got over 60%).

Interestingly, that 2017 Labour candidate, Natasha Osben, is now, in 2024, the Green Party candidate. Starmer is really not very popular even within the Labour —or recently Labour— ranks.

Will Labour voters vote tactically? If so, for Reform UK or for the Conservative Party? My money is on Reform UK.

Tactical voting

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/i-want-labour-to-come-into-power-so-im-voting-lib-dem-tactical-voting-threatens-blue-wall-tories

Alarmingly for Conservative HQ, many polling experts believe the conditions are ripe for a repeat of 1997, when tactical voting benefited Labour and the Lib Dems and cost the Tories dozens of seats, most notably the toppling of Michael Portillo in Enfield Southgate. This time, Shapps is among the big beasts who could suffer their own polling night infamy.

Tactical efforts came to little at the last election. Hopes among pro-Remain campaigners of an anti-Brexit tactical vote were dashed as Boris Johnson won an 80-strong majority. But conditions have changed. Peter Kellner, the veteran pollster, wrote in the Observer before the 1997 election that while he detected little “positive enthusiasm” for Labour, an electorate with “a burning desire to end 18 years of Tory rule” made for receptive tactical voting conditions. He believes similar ingredients are present today.

While the net effects of tactical voting are hard to calculate, the Liberal Democrats could gain 10-20 extra seats through anti-Conservative tactical voting, according to an analysis by the Electoral Calculus consultancy. Meanwhile, with the added help of Nigel Farage and Reform UK, the tactical dynamic could push Labour closer in another swathe of previously safe Tory seats.

Conservative losses

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/from-humiliation-to-annihilation-could-this-election-mean-the-end-of-the-tory-party-as-we-know-it

Writing in the Observer, Rob Ford, a leading expert on voting intention and trends, says the evidence from polls shows that “an electoral asteroid is streaking through the atmosphere” and is heading for the Tory heartlands. Ford no longer thinks it impossible that the Conservatives could end up with less than 100 seats, so badly is their campaign misfiring and so much trust have they lost over 14 years and the tenures of five prime ministers.

Other polling experts say that such is the geographical spread of the Tory vote, and the brutal nature of the first past the post system, that once their vote drops into the low 20% region, the number of seats could fall into double digits – and could go as low as 20.

[Observer/Guardian]

I have speculated for quite a while that the Con vote might go low enough nationwide to leave the Cons with as few as 50 MPs. Perhaps I was right (I sometimes am…).

Quite right.

Entitled self-seeking political hog Emily Thornberry, who only became “Labour” in the first place after her highly-paid UN-working father deserted her and her mother, abandoning his wife and daughter, and resulting in their having to relocate to a council house. She is motivated by malice and early spite and/or envy.

Emily Thornberry and her husband (a retired High Court judge) are buy-to-let parasites, incidentally; I believe that I read that they own, or used to own, at least 8 buy-to-let properties. Pro-Israel, too.

[Emily Thornberry and husband with the then Israeli Ambassador to the UK, Mark Regev, at a Zionist banquet in London]

The Conservative Party now deserves to be not only removed from government, and preferably entirely wiped out, but do not imagine that fake “Labour” will be much if at all better. Look at its leaders and major influencers: Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall. All members of Labour Friends of Israel. All self-seeking moneygrubbers too.

David Lammy, that ignorant creature, as well.

That thick creature might be Foreign Secretary soon. Poor Britain…

Another Labour Friends of Israel member.

Emily Thornberry slightly reminds me of Mrs Mossberg, a fat, short and jolly Jewish primary school teacher, usually —in my memory— dressed in a long dark-brown mink coat; I knew her circa 1962, when about 5 or 6 years old and a pupil at Caversham Primary School near Reading. Mrs Mossberg, though, was far more pleasant than Emily Thornberry seems to be.

In retrospect, I wonder why Mrs Mossberg ever bothered to be a teacher, which I doubt paid much. She lived not far from my family, a few roads away, in a large detached house. The main reception room, which I saw at least once, seemed enormous to the 5-y-o me, and it had a large grand piano in it. Maybe she just enjoyed teaching.

The last tweeter says that Emily Thornberry owns 4 properties; I thought I read 8 somewhere.

Elite“, though, seems the wrong word to describe that bunch of clowns.

Reminiscent of the last recruits of the Volkssturm in 1945…

[Volkssturm, Berlin, 1945; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkssturm]

In fact, the Volkssturm recruits above look both younger and healthier than those Kiev-regime “volunteers” or pressganged recruits.

Well, I cannot read Hebrew, and there is no translation, so I have no idea what the untermensch may have written in relation to his vandalism of that family’s house.

From what little one hears or reads, some of the chiefs or former chiefs of Israeli Intelligence (MOSSAD, Shin Beth, Aman etc) are also not optimistic about Israel’s long-term or even medium-term survival.

[Daily Mail]

If that turns out to be correct on 4 July 2024, I will have been proven correct, and the “experts” and “specialists” (who have been saying 100-200 Con MPs left post-GE 2024) would be wrong (again)…

Also true, arguably. About the same, I should say.

The first tweet confirms what I have been blogging re. Clacton. It is between Reform UK (Farage) and the Cons (Giles Watling). Labour has no chance at all, but Labour voters in Clacton can be the kingmakers. Their votes can swing it, either for Reform or for the Cons.

Even if the second tweet is accurate, and it may not be, voters can still give the Cons a mighty and historic kick by voting Reform UK and thus preventing the Conservative Party from thriving, or even surviving.

The very fact that such a grassroots campaign is even necessary shows how sick society has become.

Refers to Robert Largan, the Israel-puppet and Jewish-lobby puppet who is desperately trying to keep his Commons seat at High Peak (Derbyshire), with its good pay and better expenses and perks, but he really has no chance. Make him get a real job.

High Peak voters should vote either Reform UK or Labour to get rid of Largan.
