You could compare the 2020-2021 “panicdemic” or “scamdemic” to the post-2008 “austerity” nonsense imposed by part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne (with, once again, a general lack of opposition from “Labour”): a cynical propaganda campaign by the System, allied in that instance to a modern version of the late-Roman cruelty whereby the deluded citizens watched, in this case from 2008-2019, the poorer citizens being, if you like, thrown to the lions.
The international Jew-Zionist lobby is trying to help the half-Jewess (and Israeli agent) Ghislaine Maxwell. It must be awkward for the screeching Jewish trolls on UK and US Twitter…just as the Janner paedophilia case was awkward for the former.

Priti Patel is, in effect, herself a migrant-invader, saved from spending her life behind the counter of a Kampala grocery shop by Idi Amin… and the UK’s asylum system.
Once again, tweeter “@EternalEnglish” hits the target. The “democratic” pantomime is a Schauspiel for the credulous. “Boris” is now exposed for the useless barrel of lies that many, including me, have said for years that he is. We now see the start of the planned movement to replace him, either by Sunak or, should fake “Labour” somehow manage to recover electorally, by Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer and his Shadow Cabinet composed of Labour Friends of Israel members.
Incidentally, I heard Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper on the radio a few days ago, and her horrible, hectoring, and primly/smugly certain, voice brought back the days of Blair and Brown, including Yvette Cooper’s expenses cheating (she was, with her husband, Ed Balls, and in simple terms, a fraudster), and her support for both mass immigration and repression of free speech. A truly horrible woman.
Quite. Read , eg, To Build a Castle, by the recently-deceased dissident, Bukovsky:
“The man whom the New York Times called “a hero of almost legendary proportions among the Soviet dissident movement”, Vladimir Bukovsky was expelled from Moscow University at 19 years of age, and by the time he was 35 had spent a total of twelve years in Soviet prisons, labor camps and psychiatric hospitals.
Mounting pressure in the West led to his release in 1976, when he was famously traded for the Chilean Communist leader Luis Corvalan. He then accepted an invitation to continue his interrupted biology studies at Cambridge University. His fame as a major irritant to the Soviet government was sealed with the publication of his powerful bestselling prison memoir To Build a Castle.
A masterful writer, whom Nabokov called “that courageous and precious man”, Bukovsky continued to write about life under totalitarianism. “The great truth was that it was not rifles, not tanks, and not atom bombs that created power,” he wrote. “Power depended upon public obedience, upon a will to submit.” He himself never offered that obedience or submission to totalitarian authority.
Bukovsky has used his acclaim to warn world leaders of continuing deceit and manipulation by Soviet leaders and their successors, up to and including President Putin. He recently said: “Having failed to finish off conclusively the communist system, we are now in danger of integrating the resulting monster into our world. It may not be called communism anymore, but it has retained many of its dangerous characteristics.” [Amazon UK]
Incidentally, don’t assume that the latter-day Soviet Union (1960s, 1970s, 1980s) was always “iron fist in iron glove”. Sometimes, as often in 2021 Britain, the glove was velvet.
I was told, in the early 1980s, of a person who, in the Moscow of the late 1970s, was a sort-of dissident, though not one that wrote anything; he also did not really want to get a regular (or any) job.
That person was investigated by the local militia (police) on a potential charge of “social parasitism”, which could land someone with up to 5 years serf-labour (in effect) in regions such as Siberia, or beyond the Arctic Circle. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitism_(social_offense).
Eventually, the local militia chief summoned the young man to a meeting. The young (20-something) self-styled dissident was given a way out: to take a very poorly-paid job (I think as a night-watchman), part-time (I believe three nights per week). He could then loaf, or take part in harmless “dissident” discussions etc, for the other 4 days of the week. That way, also, the militia could be seen to have done its job, and the KGB (Fifth Chief Directorate and/or Second Chief Directorate) need not get involved.
Is that not what happens in the UK now? Politically active persons can tweet or blog (unless “deplatformed”), or even meet in person, up to a point. If some whining, or loudly complaining, Jew-Zionist body such as the “Campaign Against Anti-Semitism” [“CAA”] or “Community Security Trust” [“CST”] makes malicious complaint to the police, the police mess around slightly with the “dissident”, insist on a pointless interview under caution etc, with the aim of firing a shot across the bows.
Those who dissent more, or more actively, may find themselves being prosecuted, or perhaps even harassed by the “Anti-Terrorist Command”, but such cases are only the tip of the iceberg; many others are quietly and even politely repressed, just enough to “control” the dissident…
That useless barrel of lies was put where he is by System operatives far higher than he is; and he will be binned and replaced when the same secret cabals, or ruling circles, make that decision.
So the government are ramping up restrictions to protect the NHS despite the fact that only 5% of NHS beds are occupied by Covid patients and despite the fact that 5,000 NHS beds have been cut during the pandemic. Protect the NHS? What about protecting us?
(shouldn't be something that is debated any/either way) There is NO opposition to this by Labour, Lib Dems or any other Major political party, which PROVES they are all in it together. This bird has plenty of wings.#WeWillNotComply#EnoughIsEnough
If enough say no, they cannot enforce their mandates. They cannot drag 1000s of folk off trains, shut down 1000s of businesses, chase up 1000s of unpaid fines. If enough people say NO, you can stop Boris in his tracks#WeWillNotComply#EnoughIsEnough#NoVaccinePassportsAnywhere
“Fewer than 24 people are catching coronavirus each day in London, new modelling suggests, with forecasts predicting the virus could be wiped out in the capital within a fortnight.
If cases continue to decrease at the current rate, the virus will be virtually eliminated in the capital by the end of the month, raising questions about whether the strict lockdown measures would need to continue.” [Daily Telegraph]
After leaving their traps, they no doubt go home to stand outside their homes, virtue-signalling by clapping like drunken seals “for the NHS”.
Government subsidy for the self-employed
“A government scheme to support self-employed workers signed up 440,000 people on its first day at a cost of £1.3bn, according to the Treasury.
The self-employment income support scheme (SEISS) provides workers whose finances have been hit by the coronavirus pandemic with a cash grant of 80% of their average monthly trading profits up to a cap of £2,500, backdated to cover the last three months.
Launched this week, more than two weeks ahead of schedule, the scheme is expected to support up to 3.5 million of the UK’s 5.2 million self-employed people.” [Guardian]
What strikes me first is how “autres temps autres mœurs“…
In the past decade particularly, we have seen the way in which the Conservative Party governments (aided in 2010-2015 by their LibDem enablers) stigmatized the poor, and particularly the poor who are also unemployed and/or disabled, and living on mostly very modest State benefit monies.
Many people who are now gratefully in receipt of the “furlough” payments for furloughed employees, and those who are applying for what amounts to the new State benefit for the (supposedly) “self-employed”, will have voted “Conservative” in the past 10 years. Amazing how attitudes change with circumstances…
While the new “benefits” are modest (the maximum claimable is £2,500 per month), they are still more than almost all unemployed and disabled can claim (even if Housing Benefit etc is included in the latter categories’ monies).
It reminds me of the attitudes of the farmers, who like to pretend that they are self-standing independent people running agricultural businesses, yet who “accept” farm subsidies and grants at (under the system as it now is, which may change) around £150 an acre merely for owning or renting land, fundamentally. A farmer with 200 acres (the overall average), will get 200 x £150, so about £30,000 a year. Not huge, but still pretty good for doing effectively nothing (a simplification, but one cannot get into more here)! That sum will be payable whether the farm makes £100,000 profit, £10,000 profit, nothing, or a loss.
The farmers do not see themselves as being “on benefits”, of course! You only have to listen to BBC Radio 4 Farming Today to hear the convoluted arguments and language they and the NFU farmers’ lobby employ to justify their subsidies (“providing a service“, “doing environmental work“, “growing the food the nation/world needs“, “ensuring Britain’s food security” etc…). Anything but “we want the State to pay us for owning land“, though occasionally you do hear “without the farm payments, half the farmers in England will go out of business“. And your point is?… The coal mines, steel works etc used to say the same.
Is it April the First?
There are now so many red flag warnings that Western society has gone mad that it is hard to select from the hundreds, thousands, of examples. What about this?!
One of the few good things about the Coronavirus situation is that, up until now, it has pushed Greta Nut off the news agenda. Now, those behind her have managed to inveigle her back on, despite her lack of any knowledge or qualification.
Economic ruination?
“Almost half of UK businesses are within six months of running out of cash, despite the lifeline provided by the government’s furlough scheme, according to the latest official snapshot of how firms are faring.
In its fortnightly survey on the economic impact of Covid-19, the Office for National Statistics found 44% of firms that responded said their reserves would last for less than six months.”
“About 27% said they had cash that would last beyond six months.” [The Guardian]
So only a quarter of UK enterprises have cash reserves sufficient to last them beyond November of this year? Sobering.
“When the government put the economy into lockdown in March a third (33%) of those surveyed said they thought it would take six months or more for the country to bounce back to its pre-crisis state, but that figure has risen to 46%.” [The Guardian]
The “furlough” and other recent Government schemes are expensive in themselves (at least £8 billion per month, and now more, with the “self-employed” subsidy), but a debt of that sort (meaning eventually perhaps £100 billion) is at a level that can be handled, given that the UK can at present borrow at long-term rock-bottom interest rates
The economist Jonathan Portes was making that point only this morning on the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme. If I heard correctly, he thought that it worked out at £30 per person per year (interest or interest + capital repayment? I have seen £100 per year as a combined figure). In any event, not catastrophic. A long-term national debt burden.
What would be catastrophic would be a general economic collapse. Were that to happen, the pound sterling would fall like a stone (despite the similar problems in other countries, particularly EU countries). That in turn would make imports prohibitively expensive. Britain imports (including raw materials) about 80% of its food.
In addition, a general economic collapse would cause enormous unemployment, in that genuine employment would be hit, and so would the basically fake (short-term, “gig economy”, part-time, zero-hours) employment and (equally fake, really) “self-employment” of millions.
Still, as Lenin put it, “worse will mean better…” meaning that, for us now, and in 2021-22, there might be, for the first time in my present lifetime, a realistic chance for social nationalism in the UK.
White genocide
The tweeter below sees, in the Daily Mail‘s cropping of a photo, “white racism” but I see something else— the cover-up around “the Great Replacement” of whites by non-whites in Europe.
Compare the #DailyMail front cover photo and the stock photo they used – and notice anything about the people they cropped out? pic.twitter.com/8dG38mU0vD
When I was a child, in the early and mid 1960s (I was in Australia 1967-69), Britain was an almost-entirely white country (despite the lies put out to the masses by shows such as Grantchester, Endeavour, various other popular TV shows). Certainly you never saw many, if any, blacks or browns etc in most of the country or even in Central London (there were enclaves in ports such as Liverpool and Cardiff). In fact, the only black person I believe I ever saw in England was the consultant (ear, nose, throat) from somewhere in the Caribbean, whom I saw when aged about 6, maybe 7, at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
Now, the BBC and the msm generally have stolen British (and other European) history, right back to the Middle Ages, and even to Roman Britain and earlier!
The Conservatives have slipped back to 51% popularity. What, I wonder, would David Cameron-Levita or Theresa May not have given for such a level of support? However, it is merely popularity by default, given that Labour support continues to bump along the bottom, a function of irrelevance.
You wanted me to wear a face mask? Here it is, even though the WHO says 'If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19.'https://t.co/xC6QBEr5Cmpic.twitter.com/tDaByf9Dh4
Indeed @mrpjdonovan. People who got married in the 1970s are so embarrassed by how they looked that they often do not display their wedding photos. Yet at the time they thought it all quite reasonable. https://t.co/Zx42iySX6d
Hard to argue against the above Hitchens comment, looking at the present government of fools.
“There is no correlation between fatalities and lockdown stringency. The most stringent lockdowns – as in China, Italy, Spain, New Zealand and Britain – have yielded both high and low deaths per million. Hi-tech has apparently “worked” in South Korea, but so has no-tech in Sweden. Sweden’s 319 deaths per million is far ahead of locked-down Norway’s 40 and Denmark’s 91, but it’s well behind locked-down UK’s 465 and Spain’s 569.” [The Guardian]
“Britain’s last experience of protracted national disruption, Jim Callaghan’s Labour government continued to lead the Conservatives in some polls. But as the crisis dragged on, and seemed increasingly beyond Callaghan’s control, the government’s ratings collapsed and never fully recovered.
If that happens to Johnson, the disconnect between his popularity and his political abilities will stop being a mystery that columns like this try to solve. His long hold over voters and the media, ever since he won the mayoralty in usually Labour-supporting London 12 years ago, will be seen as a bit of a con – like an enticing but dodgy company that eventually went bust.”
All well and good, but if the public get fed up (enough) with Boris-idiot and his government of fools, to where do they turn? Britain, or at least England, has a basically binary system. When the “other party” is flat on its back, defeated, irrelevant, as Labour now is, will the electorate turn to it? Doubtful, especially with someone like Keir Starmer as leader and MPs such as Rachel Reeves around him. You never know, and the System loves the pointless ping-pong on Con-Lab politics, but Labour has no real base any more, in any sense; unless you say that Labour’s base is now the affluent but virtue-signalling London multikulti types, and the Twitterati, together with the ethnic minorities (except Jews) and public service people. The old Labour of the steel mills, the coal mines, the transport unions, the (now near-irrelevant) TUC, has disappeared.
Again, this should be, in theory, the time when social nationalism rises up to destroy the evil ones, but there is no such party, no such movement. Yet.
