I agree with that position. Russia should rule all of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper); also Crimea, and the littoral of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Kiev and Odessa should either be standalone “free cities”, or run as condominia (between Russia and an independent and neutral Ukrainian state centred on Lvov).

More Israeli war crimes. An accursed tribe.

Israel does not stand alone, but has agents, co-opted supporters (not all Jews) and lobby groups all over the Western world. All guilty of facilitating what has been happening and continues to happen. The Jewish lobby and/or Israel lobby is also the primary lobby trying to shut down free speech in the UK, France etc.

Paris, London, Berlin (etc). Migration invasion. Clear the streets!

Well, I cannot speak as to any of those details, but right from the start I felt that there was something not quite right about Paul Mason. I have blogged about him previously, two or three years ago.

First of all, despite having trained as a musician, and worked as such, and also having lectured in musical studies at Loughborough (Leicestershire), Mason (a quarter-Jew, one of his grandparents having immigrated from Lithuania), never having had any formal financial or economics training, suddenly appears as a freelance financial journalist in London in 1991 at age 31 (after a “missing” three years). Then, from 2001, he is seen on shows such as Newsnight (as Business Editor), and his political persona at that time is a kind of semi-Marxist and semi-anarcho-syndicalist mixture, hard to pin down.

Look at what Wikipedia says: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)#Politics.

You can see from that piece how, over the years, Mason has veered from so-called “left-wing Communism” and Trotskyism to (he himself claims) “social democracy” and both Marxism and post-Marxism. At one point, he was writing in support of Jeremy Corbyn. More recently, Mason declared himself a supporter of Keir Starmer.

You see the point. Politically, for all his worn-on-the sleeve pseudo-radicalism, Mason is the political grey man, superficially at home here, there, and everywhere. He sort-of fits in almost anywhere in the (generally anti-British type of) political milieu, almost like a secret agent of some sort…

In one matter, Mason has always been consistent: he has always supported dictatorship and repression of opposing views and dissenting opinions:

“In the New Statesman magazine in June 2018, Mason argued the case for state suppression of “fascists”, saying that he favoured a policy of using “the full panoply of security measures to deter and monitor” those he described as “racists” and added: “For clarity, unlike many on the left, that means I am in favour of state suppression of fascist groups.” He finished his article by saying that “The progressive half of Britain needs a narrative to overcome this threat: a narrative based on shared, historic values of democracy and tolerance”, and also “[to] stop pandering to right-wing nationalism and xenophobia and start fighting it.“

[Wikipedia]

“Martin Wolf characterised Mason’s views in the Financial Times as justifying a planned economy, quoting Mason saying in support of the UK A Green New Deal report “Labour wants to combat climate change through three mechanisms: state spending, state lending and the state direction of private finance.”[46]

[Wikipedia]

[“Mason confirmed his intention to apply for selection as the Labour candidate for [Islington North] in May 2024. Despite having previously supported him as Labour leader, Mason has been critical of Corbyn’s record on antisemitism, defence, and Brexit.“

[Wikipedia]


“On 8 March 2018, The Jewish Chronicle reported that Mason had been a member of the Facebook group ‘Palestine Live’, in which antisemitic material was posted. He said that while he was a member of the group, he was added to it in 2014 without his knowledge by someone else, and that he does not read or endorse the content of all Facebook groups of which he is part. Mason suggested that the group should be closed and investigated if it contained antisemitism.[57]“

[Wikipedia]

Again, hard to pin down.

Someone without any real anchored beliefs. He is also an atheist.

Not only men, thinking of a couple of women in Brighton…

Raise the banners!

The diplomatic hypocrisy of nations…

All the same, a good thing that even a gesture is being made, and this does go well beyond a gesture. The gradual ghetto-ization of Zionism, it might be said.

Putin negotiates with the EU, with the cat as Putin.

Alternatively, playing cards:

(with another ace in a hole, or silo, somewhere…).

So why does “military and strategy expert” and former Secretary of State for Defence, Ben Wallace (highest active military rank— captain in the Guards), not put on his steel or Kevlar helmet, shoulder his weapon, and join the ranks of the condemned on the front-line? His age is no bar; there are plenty of unfortunate Ukrainians aged 55+ serving on the crumbling front-lines of the Kiev regime.

In fact, Jewish dictator Zelensky would love to have even one overweight middle-aged drunk volunteer; hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have deserted (apparently, about 200,000 in the past year or so), and about 800,000 Ukrainians are currently hiding from the draft (and the press-gangs) inside Ukraine. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, dodging the draft by staying outside Ukraine’s borders.

Go on, Wallace. Make the Scots Guards proud!

Already, many of those actually fighting for the Zelensky cabal are mercenaries from Asia, Africa, South America, and other poverty-stricken parts of the world.

Maximum range 280 miles (some only 120 miles), so not quite far enough to reach Moscow (or Petersburg) from the Ukrainian border. Moscow is about 300 miles north/northeast, Petersburg far further (about 530 miles due north of the nearest Ukrainian border). However, those missiles could reach smaller cities to the north, northeast, and east of Ukrainian territory.

Is that a brush-off for Zelensky? A warning to Putin? Hard to say.

Wall. Squad. End.

Wall. Squad. End.

(or parachute him into a large game park in Africa).

Clear the streets!

Part of the reason may be because so many British students are reading for Mickey Mouse “degrees” at “McUniversities”…

More research should be done about the whole issue. What are “degrees” (a mediaeval concept) for? What are universities for? What if anything should be the linkage between academic degrees and vocations (and jobs)?

…and I do not recall the same Marlon Solomon (or any other Jew entertainers) defending satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz when organized Jew-Zionists, led by the malicious and evil “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (or “CAA”), had her “cancelled” from the Edinburgh Fringe quite a few years ago. The same cabal have also repeatedly harassed anti-Zionist Jew and jazz musician Gilad Atzmon, metaphysical speaker David Icke, and many others.

What goes around comes around…

The Kiev regime is being run into the ground. Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

Starmer, Macron, Merz, other puppets and political frauds “leading” nations of, mostly, so far, sheep.

I begin to think that the hidden hand guiding Europe to a massive and unwinnable war with Russia will not be thwarted, that Europe will (as Rudolf Steiner seems to have predicted) be devastated, and that all we, as social nationalists, can do is to form post-Aryan communities and withdraw from the main society; build for the future.

That may seem like defeatism, but we must be realistic. The “democratic” (Parliamentary road) way forward is under (((control))) in several ways (look at Reform UK).

Don’t forget that Gideon Falter has not only lied many times in public, but also has committed perjury more than once (though, admittedly, he has never been charged with the latter). The Rowan Laxton appeal case, 15 years ago, was one matter in which Falter’s sworn testimony was “not accepted”. The judge, in allowing Laxton’s appeal from earlier conviction in the magistrates’ court, gave little or no weight to Falter’s sworn testimony. Laxton, a member of the Foreign Office, later became an ambassador.

https://www.thejc.com/news/foreign-office-man-wins-appeal-against-race-abuse-claim-gyp2ql35

Falter and “Slitherman” (the two main public faces of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) are both hardened and prolific Jew-Zionist liars. They seem to have forgotten the Mosaic injunction “Thou shalt not bear false witness“…

This whole “proscription” thing is a mess. People should be punished for what they do (in concrete terms) not for saying things “in support” of this or that organization, or for belonging to something.

There you see, in Israel-puppet scribbler Dan Hodges, the sheer unreality of much of the UK milieu(x) of scribblers, talking heads, dim MPs etc. Especially in relation to the Ukraine conflict.

Hodges wants, or thinks he wants, to confront Russia, a state which possesses as many as 7,000 nuclear weapons. He seems to think it the acme of Realpolitik to pretend that the UK is “up for” war with Russia. “Bring it on“, say Hodges and dim politicos such as Ben Wallace, the ex-MP and (ludicrously) one-time Secretary of State for Defence.

Wallace, whose highest military rank was captain (in the Guards), was heard drunkenly proclaiming that the Scots Guards had beaten the Russians in some skirmish about two centuries ago, and could do so again. He was Secretary of State at the time…

I think that British people should require a far higher standard of both education and intelligence from those who aspire to political leadership.

As for Hodges, his view appears to be that not only should the UK and EU states stuff even more taxpayer money into “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime), and ever-more arms and ammunition, but even have British troops stationed there; maybe even actually fighting.

Needless to say (?), that would spark, if not WW3, then Russian attacks on both the British troops Hodges wants stationed in Ukraine, and possibly on the UK itself, depending on what those British troops were to do.

Incidentally, Ukrainian losses on the front-lines are between 1,000-3,000 per day. How long do you imagine British troops (the contingent of which would probably only be a few thousand, because most of the British Army is far from battle-ready) could last, if exposed to actual fighting?

Do scribblers such as Hodges have any conception of what might happen in a NATO war with Russia? To mention only one factor that might interest Hodges (who lives at Blackheath, S.E. London), the almost immediate annihilation of everything in the London area.

I might add that, looking at Trump’s smoke signals, there is every possibility that, in a war with Russia, NATO itself would be conspicuous by its absence. It might well be “the Coalition of the Willing” (coalition of clowns such as Starmer and Macron) against Russia, with the USA itself standing back (along with China etc).

“Coalition of the Willing” v. Russia. Which one would you bet on, in a major war? We are talking about a coalition of the degraded nations of the UK, France, Germany, a few others. The idea is pathetic, and also rather dangerous if the politicians involved really believe in it.

Hodges thinks that a war with Russia is a risk worth taking, to protect the Kiev regime in Ukraine. There is a kind of mad delusion in this. Hodges is not the only victim. It is rife among Brit MPs and msm scribblers.

Ukraine has only existed as a state for 34 years, during which years its ordinary population has been consistently among the poorest in Europe (while a tiny percentage, often Jews like Zelensky, have amassed billions), and while it has been, consistently, the most corrupt “state” of Europe.

Kiev-regime Ukraine has abandoned elections (effectively forever), banned trade unions and all real opposition parties and voices, and kidnaps men off the street to serve on open-ended forced “commitment” on the crumbling front lines. In fact, few serve for long before being killed, badly wounded, or captured.

Is “Ukraine” worth supporting as it now is? I say no.

Would mean 333 Reform MPs, 134 Lab, 69 LibDem, 46 Con (etc). Reform majority in Commons— 7 (bare) or ~21 (working).

[“Can anyone help explain what was going on here. Today I was driving near High Wycombe. A Thames Valley police car was behind me for a minute or so. As I came to a complicated set of mini-roundabouts, it turned on its blue lights and set off its siren, forcing me to pull over in a dangerous section of road between the roundabouts. A policeman came over, bent down by the window and asked in the chummiest of tones: “Are you having a good day?” I said I was until he showed up. He asked if my name was Jonathan Cook. He then asked what I was doing here. I responded that I was visiting family. Was that a problem? He answered that it was routine to make checks on what he called “cross-border activity”. When I asked him what he meant by “cross-border activity”, he said the car was registered to an address in Bristol, and that was a two and a half hour drive away – it’s not, it’s 1 hour 45 minutes away. He added that it was a long way to come. I must have looked slightly stunned. He told me not to worry, wished me well and – with a smile – said I could continue on my way. Have others had a similar experience? Is it now normal to be stopped in the UK simply because you’re driving more than 90 minutes from home?“]

Low-level (political?) intimidation. I have no idea who is the tweeter, but his Twitter/X bio-details say “Writer, journalist, self-appointed media critic. Winner of the Martha Gellhorn Special Prize for Journalism. Bristol / Nazareth“.

The poundland police state in the UK, which has mainly emerged since Blair took power in 1997, and which became both overbearing and totally stupid during the 2020-2022 years of the “Covid” “panicdemic”/”scamdemic”, is still rather velvet glove and not (yet?) iron fist, but the essence is still police-state-ism. That police car stop was really saying “We know who you are, we know where you live and [unspoken] we know you take an interest in Israeli/Palestinian matters”…

A shot across the bows, in short.

I now see that the original tweeter is indeed interested in Palestinian matters:

Anyone, from central government, local government, the Press, the TV or radio, or wherever, encouraging or facilitating the migration invasion of this country, is a traitor to the future, and must be designated as such.

Maybe twits such as Ben Wallace and Johnny Mercer might like to re-read that at their leisure.

The lady has still not cottoned-on. No-one, or almost no-one, is intending to vote for Reform UK, as such. The voters are intending to vote against both Lab and Con, and the method for doing that effectively is via voting Reform UK. Das ist’s…

As for that lady tweeter’s #Moderates label, it seems to be a party, or intra-Conservative caucus, which exists only in her own mind.

Late tweets seen

“Witless” better describes both Ben Wallace and pro-Israel scribbler Camilla Tominey.

The System TV shows are full of “experts” saying how many troops it might take to “contain” Russian advance forces. 100,000-300,000, apparently. If push comes to shove, Putin could just drop nuclear bombs on those forces and then…no EU/UK army left. All gone.

There is no need for “the West” to “protect” Ukraine. We have nothing at all in common with either Ukraine or the Zelensky regime. Nothing. As for “Putin” (Russia) invading Central and Western Europe, the very idea is nonsensical.

Quite. Largely (though not entirely) because of “them” (((the usual suspects))).

Starmer-stein and Yvette Cooper will now put the invading hordes in British social housing ahead of needy Brits who deserve it so much more.

Some of the protesters interviewed there were politically brainless, true, judging from that report, but the people have just had too much, too much of being trampled on.

Surely Goodwin does not expect humility or indeed integrity from a Jewish-Zionist scribbler such as Finkelstein?

As Hitler said, “they” have never created a civilization, but have destroyed many.

Talking point

There is now effectively nothing left of the original, or even original post-WW2 (1945-1989), Labour Party.

Tweets seen

The irrelevance of the Conservative Party is plainly seen there. Despite Starmer-stein having a disapproval rating of 60%, and Kemi Badenoch having one of “only” 35%, when it comes to positive approval, the two are both down in the trough of public esteem: Starmer 23%, Kemi Badenoch 24%. Indeed, fewer people actively disapprove of Kemi Badenoch (35%) than disapprove of Farage (41%), but when it comes to positive approval, Farage, on 37%, easily outpaces Kemi Badenoch’s 24%.

41% of people are unsure as to whether they approve or disapprove of Kemi Badenoch, a sure sign that she has made little impression on the public (and it can be seen that what impression she has made is mostly not favourable). By contrast, only 22% of the public are “unsure” about Farage— people either approve or disapprove of him, in almost equal numbers.

People are even more sure about Starmer. Only 17% are “unsure” about him, but 60% disapprove of him.

Quite simple. 14 years of total maladministration and misgovernment finished the Conservative Party with most of the electorate, though 3 out of every 12 voters who voted (3 out of every 20 eligible) still voted Con in 2024 (Labour had 4 out of 20 or 4 out of 12). Most of those Con voters were over 60 years of age, many over 80. They have mostly now gone to Reform UK, and many are expiring daily by reason of old age etc. The next general election may not be until 2029; how many habitual Con voters will have expired by then?

The young (anyone under 30, indeed the vast majority under 40) will not be voting Con. Most of the ethnic minority (rapidly becoming majority) voters prefer Labour or other parties. So who is left?

Once again, the “snake in the grass” here is the Jewish-Zionist/Israel lobby in the UK, which has most of the politicians of the two main System parties (and Reform, too, it seems) in its pocket. The (((lobby))) wants many many organizations banned or prosecuted; it wants many individuals prosecuted, too (they have already tried it with me: see below:

Diary Blog, 15 January 2022, including an outline of the failure of the latest Jew-Zionist attempt to prosecute me
Diary Blog, 16 March 2024, including an account of my recent free speech trial and sentencing
Diary Blog, 17 March 2024, including the aftermath of my sentencing hearing

Strange that that former Conservative Party tweeter, Fiona-Natasha Syms (her ex-husband was Conservative Party MP for Poole until 2024; he lost by a mere 18 votes; and she worked for him, paid generously out of her ex-husband’s MP expenses) thinks that (of all people) Yvette Cooper is to be admired. Nein danke! Yvette Cooper is a would-be dictator, very dishonest, a moneygrubber and expenses cheat (as was her husband, Ed Balls), and a “refugees welcome” dimwit to boot! Also, like all of Starmer-stein’s Cabinet —except a few servile Muslims— a member of Labour Friends of Israel.

Short-sighted Con voters in some parts of England have, in the past couple of decades, shown themselves willing, in my view very wrongly, to vote for non-Europeans such as Kemi Badenoch as their constituency MP, so long as the right party label is affixed. Putting promises of low taxation etc above racial or national pride. That has led to the brainless Conservatives imagining that the country as a whole will vote, in effect, for a party led by a non-white MP. Very misguided. Look at Sunak.

True, that was not the only factor that sank the Conservatives at GE2024, but it was one important factor. Sunak was, in that sense, more “electable” than Kemi Badenoch. After all, people look at Indians en masse and see business, at least some organizational skills and, in Sunak’s case, a UK upbringing. Added to that, the vast wealth of his wife’s family and so his own wealth, meaning that, whether rightly or wrongly, he is at least perceived to be “in it” not for personal money reasons. Compare that to Kemi Badenoch, a loudmouth careerist carpetbagger.

Most Brits, not unfairly, look at Nigeria and see chaotic maladministration, corruption even worse than that of India, and nothing at all to admire. Kemi Badenoch was not even brought up in the UK. Her parents made sure that she was born in London, so that (under the law as it then was, in 1980) she could later claim a British passport, but she was only in the UK for a few days before being returned to Nigeria. She lived there and in the USA until at least age 16.

For those who say that Kemi Badenoch is scarcely a typical Nigerian, well, yes. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, in effect (not an exact quotation), “the rich are different from you and me; they have more money“.

Yes, Kemi Badenoch is not a typical Nigerian. I have known a few like her, such as the Nigerian princess with whom I was acquainted in the mid/late 1980s, and whose (much older) husband was a Federal High Court judge in Nigeria. However, the basic model is still there, not far under the surface. (if anyone is interested, that Nigerian princess was shot dead in her luxury apartment in Lagos , nearly 30 years ago; Lagos is a rather dangerous place).

I just cannot believe that the British public will vote for a Prime Minister who is a Nigerian woman. The very idea, at least to me, is utterly farcical.

When you add to that her abrasive personality etc, you see how disastrous Kemi Badenoch is for the Conservative Party, which looks increasingly irrelevant.

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

No, don’t resign. Stay in place, dragging down your double salary (MP + ministerial) plus expenses, and making money out of being an exploitative private landlady. That will help to sink Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel government even faster.

Anyone who has had to deal with the chaotic crazy mess called “HMRC” will be familiar with the term “Kafka-esque“. I am glad to say that my interaction with them ceased some 13-14 years ago (in relation to matters now 20-40 years in the past). I found it hard to believe, at the time, that such chaotic maladministration could exist in this country.

[incidentally…internet definitions of “Kafka-esque“:

“extremely unpleasant, frightening, and confusing, and similar to situations described in the novels of Franz Kafka: He is caught up in a Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare. The urban landscape is invested with a nightmarish, Kafkaesque bleakness.”

and/or

“Synonyms of Kafkaesque:

  • surreal.
  • unusual.
  • irrational.
  • illogical.
  • strange.
  • unreasonable.
  • weird.
  • misleading.“

From what I read in newspapers, HMRC has not improved much, if at all, since they decided to engage in dialogue with me 13-18 years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HM_Revenue_and_Customs#Controversies

In fact, HMRC reminded me slightly of the 1950 comic novel, The Way Backwards.

Translates to about 414 Reform UK MPs, 94 Labour, 54 LibDems, 37 SNP, Cons 21.

That would be a Commons majority greater than that of Starmer in 2024, and almost as great as that of Blair in 1997. Prior to that, very large majorities were achieved in the early 1930s, in the 1920s, and by Earl Grey’s government of 1832. All times of sweeping change.

Of course, 32% of the popular vote is not huge in historical terms, but is about what Starmer-Labour gathered-in in 2024. It hardly matters that your vote is “only” 32% if your main opponents are getting 20% and 16%.

War is hell, even when unavoidable. May victory attend the forces of Russia in Eastern Ukraine, and be the forerunner of genuine peace.

[“Former heads of the army, police, Shin Bet, Mossad, and Israeli military intelligence issued a joint statement calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza. They emphasized that this conflict is no longer just and poses a threat to the very identity of Israel, its values, and its international image.“]

I wonder whether the fanatically pro-Israel Jew-Zionists of the UK (etc), such as those malicious abusers of the English legal system, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], are listening?

Incidentally, I see that lying perjurer Gideon Falter, the head or figurehead of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, was allowed to publish a fairly long opinion piece in the Daily Telegraph. The horrible little bastard had the sheer gall to write about the small number of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza that they now look like Jews starved in German camps at the end of the Second World War.

That at a time when an Arab Palestinian population in the many hundreds of thousands, including huge numbers of civilians (many of them children), is being deliberately starved to death in Gaza by the (Israeli) Jews, a para-military campaign backed to the hilt by (non-Israeli) Jews such as Falter.

As a matter of fact, I should not be surprised if Falter, effectively an agent of influence of a foreign power, Israel, is not an Israeli passport-holder himself, perhaps a dual Israel/UK passport-holder (maybe even a triple passport-holder (Israel/UK/Austria).

I accept that the hostages in Gaza should be released, but the Palestinians have been pushed to the genocidal brink, and have few chips to play.

Israel should also release its own prisoners, of course. Some of them have also been brutalized and starved.

I once stayed overnight at Mappin’s hotel, a Victorian castle hotel at Tintagel, North Cornwall, the one-time seat of King Arthur. In late 2001; December 2001. It was not really run properly as “an hotel” should be; I believe that, since then, it has been taken in hand by Mappin, the heir to a very considerable fortune (think Mappin & Webb, the jewellers). I just read today that he bought it in 1999.

When I was there, it was hugely atmospheric, like a decayed private castle, an effect emphasized by the fact that my wife and I were the only guests, and the staff, in the evening at least, consisted of a not terribly welcoming middleaged Englishman and his (possibly Austrian) wife. I recall that our rather cold room (I think it may have had a four-poster, and an ancient bar fire set into the wall) cost £200 a night, quite expensive in the money of 24 years ago. Akin maybe to £400+ today.

I well recall, after eating informally at a local pub in the nearby village (no restaurant open then at the Castle), being seated before a Hollywood-film-scale blazing fire in the Great Hall, and being served a double or triple Irish whiskey, the absence of other guests making it seem as if we were in our own home (or castle).

In the morning, a very pleasant and very rickety old retainer-woman served breakfast in a long gallery, her tiny grandchild hanging onto her skirts, as the Cornish winter waves crashed onto the rocks below, as in Rebecca.

Memorable.

I blogged, years ago, about our stay. The Castle once played host to many of the rich and famous, especially in the years before the First World War. Composers such as Arnold Bax, and Elgar (who wrote much of his Second Symphony in the very room in which we were staying): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._2_(Elgar)#Extra-musical_considerations.

I expect it is very different today.

Ah. Just saw their website. Very different today, and much-modernized: https://camelotcastle.com/rooms/.

History & Restoration

Good to see that Mappin is awake to at least part of the problem in the UK, but he is so very careful to push the “peaceful” protest idea— writing to MPs, becoming a candidate in elections etc. Yes but no but…

That pro-migration invasion crazie, shouting wildly, is one Jonathan Lis, a Jewish msm scribbler and “political commentator” (apparently): https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/nov/22/jewish-voting-labour-antisemitism-progressive-government

Typical.

I wonder whether the Israelis would allow echt-British/English people to go to Israel, scribble for newspapers, and go onto Israeli TV angrily urging more and more (non-Jewish) migration to Israel. The very idea is, of course, ludicrous, and would be even were those non-Jews born in Israel, which would be almost impossible anyway.

So says great foreign policy and grand strategy “expert” Ben Wallace, a half-pay retired captain (his highest rank in the Army).

“On 23 February 2022, Wallace was filmed saying that the Scots Guards “kicked the backside” of Nicholas I of Russia during the Crimean War, and could do so again. Russia invaded Ukraine the following day.[58]“]

[Wikipedia]

An idiot.

What does “Field Marshal” Wallace think that Britain, which scarcely has an army now anyway, or air force, or navy, can bring to the table? He seems to think that Britain can almost impose a Pax Britannica. That last bottle must have been a good one.

She has now either resigned or been pushed out: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14980971/Labour-homelessness-minister-resigns.html

“Ukraine” (Kiev regime) “fighting until it wins the war” is now impossible. It always was, even if “victory” means merely taking over the oblasti of Crimea, Lugansk, and Donetsk (rather than any capture of the territory of pre-2014 Russia or destruction of the Russian armies in the field).

Reality has now been accepted by the vast majority of Ukrainians, and I expect that a majority would now accept Russian rule over all Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

Runcorn and Helsby by-election

Well, the by-election is to be held the day after tomorrow, Thursday 1 May 2025. The chance for the voters of that area to make British political history. At present, Reform and Labour are neck-and-neck, according to the opinion polls. I have already blogged that I think that Reform can smash it, but that depends on all Reform-leaning voters getting out and voting, if they have not already done so by postal ballot. As for 2024 General Election Con voters, the Conservative Party candidate has no chance at all at the by-election (and got only 16% last year); so to stick it to Labour, vote Reform.

Any 2024 Labour voters wanting to send a message to Starmer-stein can either vote Reform (or, failing that, at least for some other party that is standing a candidate) or simply abstain.

If Reform can win the by-election, then both Labour and Con are doomed; if Labour manage to hang on, that too says that Labour is doomed, because Runcorn and Helsby was the 16th most-Labour seat as recently as July last year. A mere Labour win, unconvincing, would say that most of the country hates Starmer-stein and his fake Labour-label.

I agree with tweeter “@CambrayXX”. Who are the Labour Party supporters in these polls? I think that the answer is that the UK is now about 20% non-white. Labour Party support is running at about 25%. Most blacks and browns (and other non-Brits) vote Labour.

By my reckoning, and using Electoral Calculus, those figures would give Reform 271 MPs, Labour 176, LibDems 69, Cons 68. Enough of the surviving Con MPs would defect to Reform, or make an accommodation, to give Reform a working majority.

Hard to understand why any white English/Welsh/Scottish person would vote Labour-label now. The policies are indistinguishable from those pursued by “Conservatives” David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne from 2010-2015.

I think that, especially in the North of England, there are still people around who support Labour in the same manner as they do their local football team— unthinkingly, and because their grandparents did; and maybe they have not noticed that Starmer-stein’s Labour-label of 2025 is just not the same party Labour was in 1975, or 1965, or 1945. It has become a different party with a similar label.

The same or similar is true of many unthinking “Conservative” voters in the more southerly parts of the UK.

Who would vote for that Labour-label drone? Dishonest and useless. A local council “grifter”.

Seems that the Labour brand, so to speak, is being trashed not mainly by the drunken behaviour of thuggish ex-MP, Mike Amesbury, but more by Starmer-stein and his rabble of a fake Labour Cabinet. That woman in the doorway is going to vote not for Reform but for the Greens, as she finally said.

What a disappointment Dan Jarvis has been. I had thought that, as an ex-officer, and with a varied life-background, he would be better as an MP than he has been. Seems to be very pro the Jewish/Israel lobby, for one thing.

Actually, ex-officers usually are disappointing, not infrequently useless, both as MPs and, especially, as ministers (cf. Johnny Mercer, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, Ben Wallace etc).

[“Two 13 year old girls were plied with alcohol and raped by three Syrian men outside a school in the west of Norway. The men posted the rapes to Snapchat before they left the girls to suffocate on their own vomit (luckily no lives were lost). One of the rapist says his life is difficult now because everyone calls him a rapist….”]

Wall. Squad. End.

The Vikings regarded rape as a far worse crime than murder, and punished it accordingly.

The reporter was notably scruffy and impudent, but his questions were very relevant. Britain has paid out for over 500 surveillance flights in order to help the military efforts and war crimes of the Israeli Jews. That is, apart from anything else, money we need here.

Three useless pointless System parties, and Reform UK, which is semi-System (at the top) but not perceived by people as being as weak and useless as the others. Hitler and Lenin made sure that their parties projected strength. Amid weak large parties, a coherent and disciplined small party can achieve victory. Reform is not that, but might pave the way.

That slug wants to put migrant-invaders into council and private rentals, when British people should have those.

Quite, except that it is “by-election”, not “bi election“, or is that a deliberate and subtle (?) poke at Starmer-stein?

Good. Then Russia can seize all Ukraine east of the Dnieper. That is what should happen, and probably will happen.

The USA should become at least semi-isolationist.

Is the chicken called Starmer-stein?

The Kiev regime is pulling back; Russian forces are advancing.

Wallace has been one of the most belligerent pro-war voices in relation to the Ukraine conflict, but even he has on occasion criticized the attitude of Zelensky and the Kiev cabal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician)#Secretary_of_State_for_Defence.

Wallace was Defence Secretary for 4 years, 2019-2023, but his previous military rank was the modest one of Scots Guards captain (for 7 years): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician)#Military_career

So from where does any “threat” come? How are the British people endangered? From the Russian Army? From the Chinese Navy? No. Maybe, though, just maybe, from the tidal wave of backward blacks and browns continuing to arrive in the UK both legally and illegally…

Nothing to do with the tens of millions of immigrants that have arrived in the past decades, of course…

Starmer (aided by thick-as-two-short-planks David Lammy) is a joke. First, he sends Labour officials to aid the Biden campaign against Trump, but now he has to fly to Washington as a supplicant, begging Trump to change his entire Ukraine policy, while Starmer also pretends that he might send part of the depleted British Army to Ukraine at some point, which is ridiculous from several points of view.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week brought only 5/10, same as political journalist John Rentoul. I knew the answers to questions 1, 2, 3, 8, and 10; was a few years out on question 7, could not bring to mind the answer to question 4, and had no idea about questions 5, 6, and 9.

Alpine Switzerland. A rather wet day.

“I am a market researcher. I spoke to Sunak about Polls at the leadership hustings. I don’t think he believes them and to some extent he is right to do so. But we’ve been out campaigning in Bexhill and Battle and have yet to meet anyone whose said they’ll vote Tory in a 26k majority seat.”

We read newspapers, watch TV commentary, see opinion polls, look at (often biased) Twitter/X comment. All contribute to our belief as to what might happen on Election Day. Beyond that, there is mere personal experience of one’s own local area; anecdotal, subjective.

I myself live in an area of coastal Hampshire known for being traditionally “safe” Conservative. The local MP is someone with some of whose views (eg on the Covid scamdemic/panicdemic) I can agree, but with whom I would not agree on other topics. He is also a very poor constituency MP— lazy, uncaring, and totally useless in fact, as a few people have told me after not having received help or even a polite acknowledgment from him.

In previous general elections, I have seen almost exclusively Conservative Party posters around, and one huge banner on a house in the nearby small town. This time, I think only one Conservative poster, and three or four LibDem ones. Unscientific, but is that a straw in the wind? Hard to say, but interesting all the same.

The incumbent MP has been there since the constituency was created in 1997. He has never scored below 50%, and received well over 60% in both 2017 and 2019. Labour usually come third (second in 2017) here, and the LibDems (usually second-placed, though fourth behind Con, UKIP and Labour in 2015) had their best result in 1997 (27.8%).

In other words, it would take a political earthquake, maybe a political meteorite strike, to displace the Conservative here…and yet…and yet…

I may be reading too much into the presence or otherwise of political posters put up locally, but it occurred to me that the Conservative Party in the constituency has (perhaps) few volunteers now. The average age of Con Party members in this constituency must be around 80 if not 90. Does the presence of a few LibDem posters indicate a local upsurge, or just a single diligent volunteer?

I cannot see the LibDem candidate displacing the Con candidate this time, even if Reform UK do well, but who knows? Con, Lab and LibDem are all standing for election, but so also is a double-barrelled (in both senses, probably) Reform UK fellow, a Green, an Animal Welfare candidate [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Welfare_Party], and one for the SDP, which I am surprised to see claims 2,000 members nationally [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_(UK,_1990%E2%80%93present)].

How big the Reform UK vote here will be on 4 July 2024 is uncertain. UKIP scored 16.9% in 2015, though far less prior to that. Since 2015, there has been no broadly “national” party standing, and no social-national party has ever stood here.

If the staff had been Palestinian Arabs, they would have stood no chance. Having said that, Arabs would probably not have been employed anyway, for reasons of security.

Farage and Reform UK to merge with the Cons within 14 days? That sounds ludicrous. If it were to happen, in the 12 days left, it would just be a replay of 2019, when Farage stabbed his own party in the back; with one big difference, though— in 2019, Farage’s back-stab meant that instead of a likely hung Parliament, “Boris”-idiot was able to get an 80-seat Commons majority. In this General Election, the surrounding situation is very different.

Were the predicted merger to occur, and if Farage then urged voters to vote Con in many constituencies, all that would happen would be that Labour would still win overall, but with a majority of maybe 100+ instead of maybe 300. Of course, that would save perhaps 100 or 150 Con Party seats. It would also destroy whatever credibility Farage still seems to have with many people.

After any such merger, I suppose that the idea would be that Sunak would lose the election, resign, disappear from view, and that a leadership election would then anoint Farage as leader of the Con/Reform party.

Not totally impossible, arguably, but very unlikely. Reform UK is on a roll. Brexit Party had all wind taken out of its sails by Farage’s treachery in 2019. The same would happen today. It might even help Labour more than Reform UK fighting on as at present. After all, all the Reform UK candidates are now on the ballot papers.

The only way the predicted merger would work would be if Sunak and Farage were to announce a list of which seats would be “gifted” to Reform UK, but the candidates would still have to remain nominally in place.

That prediction to me sounds like nonsense. After the election might be a different story, were Reform UK to have 5-10 MPs in the Commons, and the Cons 50-100. However, once Reform UK merged with the Cons, and after (if it were to happen) Farage were elected to lead the merged parties, then what? The surviving Con MPs would be not a good match with the new Reform UK MPs; apple and orange. What could they offer the public? Con Party policies but with more emphasis on immigration? Sounds underwhelming.

Never say never, but I cannot see it as likely. If, however, it were to happen, it might yet open the door, on the flank, to real social-national people. “Always look on the bright side of life“.

As to that Gewolb individual’s views on UK interest rates, I do not have the economic background to assess them.

Incidentally, this is Gewolb: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/my-biggest-mistake-i-was-slow-to-start-a-success-1110542.html;

The Conservative Party is dying on its feet right in front of us. I really cannot see Farage wanting to ally himself with a party that, in another metaphor, is sinking below the waves. Not even after the election.

I notice that the Sky News “Chief Political Correspondent”, one Jon Craig, has been wheeled out to write a piece on the Sky News website about how “vile” Farage was to speak the truth about the Ukraine situation, i.e. that NATO has steadily advanced across Eastern Europe since the 1990s, thus destabilizing the NATO-Russia status quo.

Interesting language…”vile“— reminiscent of the language used by “the usual suspects” (((them)))…

The System may be getting or feeling seriously threatened by Reform UK, and is trying to use attack propaganda to weaken Farage’s appeal.

Craig claims that most “Britons” support “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime). I doubt it. Look at the comments section of the Daily Mail.

There is something going on here, with System scribblers, talking heads, and both “Labour” and “Conservative” Friends of Israel MPs all attacking Farage.

I have just heard the news on my car radio. Farage’s comments about the Ukraine situation were prominently displayed. I wonder, though, whether the Kiev regime is as popular with the people as it is with pseudo-“elite” deadheads such as Ben Wallace (former Con MP) and the Labour Friends of Israel drones. I think not.

In any case, few if any will now decide not to vote for Reform UK just because of a few comments about NATO.

Using, as always, Electoral Calculus, I make that a House of Commons with 468 Labour MPs —overall majority of 286, Con 67, LibDem 63, SNP 20, Reform UK 6, Plaid 4, Greens 2 (etc). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

I agree, in principle, with the vast majority of that, about 90%. Only social nationalism will actually “do de job”, though. Reform UK is too finance-capitalistic, too pro-Israel, not quite what I would ever support as a destination (rather than as a means to an end).

Today is the UK msm “hit Farage” day, it seems. “Ukraine”, NHS etc etc. Anything to get the Reform UK vote down. I doubt that it will work.

Good grief.

Left to itself, the world’s only Jewish state would collapse into a kind of civil war, but the money and armament provided by the Jewish “communities” both directly and indirectly (via governments) in the USA, UK, France etc keep the whole project going, so far.

Zelensky is a Jewish tyrant, who has suspended elections, banned most political parties, banned trade unions, and arrested or killed political opponents.

Perhaps a general Russian advance.

“Germany is no longer the same” – Orban chastised Berlin for the failure of migration policy.

Before his visit to Berlin, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized modern Germany. He said that the country had even lost its former smell, clearly making fun of its problem with migration, writes The Daily Telegraph. “Germany no longer has the taste it used to have. She doesn’t smell like she used to anymore. This whole Germany is no longer the Germany that our grandparents and parents set as an example for us,” the politician said in an interview before a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Orbán also said that Germany was once a country of “order,” “well-organized work” and “hard-working people.” But now, he noted, citing the German newspaper Die Welt, Germany is a “colorful, changed, multicultural world” where migrants are “no longer guests.” “This is a very big change,” summed up the head of the Hungarian government.“

Late thoughts about GE 2024

If reports are to be believed, 20% of voters have either not made up their minds as to how they will vote, or have not decided whether they will vote at all.

The 20% equates to thousands of eligible voters in every constituency.

It is also reported that as many as 175 seats are in very close contest now, more than a quarter of all seats.

I have speculated previously whether there is, or is not, a bloc of “secret Reform UK voters”, people who may not admit to leaning towards Reform UK if asked. I do not know the answer to that, and neither do I know its size if it exists, but if that bloc does exist, and if it mostly votes Reform UK on the day, then all bets are off, because there just might be a political meteorite strike on the 4th of July…

Yet another example of the new “diversity” in our poor broken land…

We can expect even more of this sort of thing as the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan takes greater hold: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12933351/Bank-worker-wins-490-000-payout-unfairly-dismissed-using-N-word-anti-racism-training-session-says-middle-aged-white-men-bottom-everything.html

“A bank manager who was unfairly sacked for seeking advice on what to do if he heard a black person using the N-word at work has won a £490,000 payout.

Father-of-two Carl Borg-Neal, 59, from Andover, Hampshire, raised the question during a Lloyds Bank race education training session on July 16, 2021, but in doing so inadvertently used the word in full himself. He apologised immediately.

It left the woman leading the exercise apparently so ‘badly distressed’ that she had to take a week off – a ‘key reason’ for the decision to dismiss Mr Borg-Neal for gross misconduct.

This week, he was awarded almost £500,000 in damages. Added to Lloyds’s legal costs and tax, the bank has a bill of nearly £1million.

The payout is the culmination of a two-year battle to clear his name after working for the bank and its affiliates for 30 years.

He told The Telegraph:  ‘I often wonder if I wasn’t a white middle-aged male would I have had to go through everything I went through. There is no way of telling. You are bottom of everything.’“

[Daily Mail]

Another example of the brainwashing that has accompanied the immigration-invasion of the past half-century or so.

Reading between the lines, it is pretty clear that the so called “diversity trainer” in the case was a black, probably West Indian.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/barbaric-abandoned-school-patients-teeth-31814954

“The Belchertown State School in Western Massachusetts, once described as ‘barbaric’ and ‘a hell hole,’ was a place of horror for its patients.

The school, which opened in 1922, housed around 700 students with mental health disorders and developmental disabilities…

…children naked, covered in urine, faeces, and food, with “maggots wriggling inside or crawling out of the infected ears of several helpless, profoundly r******d persons while they lay in their crib-beds.“

Reports suggest that many patients had their teeth removed by staff to make feeding easier.

In 1972, Judge Joseph Tauro of the Massachusetts District Court, unannounced, visited the school to verify Ricci’s accusations. He confirmed the awful conditions, even witnessing “a little girl drinking from a faeces-filled commode.” Tauro dubbed the facility “a hell hole”.”

[Daily Mirror]

Had that place been situated somewhere in Germany in the 1930s, we should still be hearing about it (and, of course, about the supposedly terrible “Nazis”) endlessly. In fact, situations such as Belcherwood were not uncommon in the West in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s etc; Belcherwood was as described at least until 1972, and closed only in 1992, albeit apparently after improvements had been made.

That place was not even in some poor state such as Mississippi, but in Massachusetts, the state so very proud of its liberal progressivist agendas.

History is rarely black-and-white, but many find that an uncomfortable idea.

The Israeli state has a large and well-equipped army and air force, but for how long could it fight on two or three, or four, fronts, as well as combat armed insurrection within its own borders?

The Jew Shapps is of course a bad joke politically, though I concede that he has some way to go before he reaches the levels of lunacy displayed by former Defence Secretaries Ben Wallace and Gavin Williamson: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/.

To what extent is the deliberate erasure of a people’s history “cultural genocide” or similar? Admittedly, an awkward phrase.

“The New York Times writes: “The Ukrainian Patriot air defense systems are working: there are chilling explosions and rays of light. America’s air defense systems have allowed Ukraine to defend itself against Russian attacks, but Washington has warned that it will not be able to support Ukraine in this way for long.”

Powerful “protection” of the Patriot air defense system and “blazing explosions” can be achieved by destroying its launchers. The United States can produce several hundred missiles a year, and the number used and destroyed in Ukraine is many times greater.

The United States is overwhelmed by the destruction of valuable missiles and systems in Ukraine and is trying as much as possible to keep new Patriots from being delivered to Ukraine, but sooner or later they will have to make a choice.“

[New York Times]

As noted previously on this blog, the demographic aspect is the most important. Ukraine’s population is not reproducing itself. Millions of women and children have fled across the borders, hundreds of thousands of men have been killed, badly wounded, or captured on the front-lines. Many men have also fled from Ukraine in order to avoid military service. Relatively few Ukrainian babies are being born. All of that leaves Ukraine a (failed) state without much of a future.

While I can understand that many do not wish to vote for no-ideas, Israel-lobby, “Labour” under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, it does surprise me that even 23% of the voters are apparently planning on voting for the surely totally discredited Conservative Party.

I have to admit that I have always found the idea of secret tunnels quite compelling. The KGB had a specific directorate specializing in tunnelling, though one finds little printed about it.

In the case of the Gaza tunnels, we are told that they extend for more miles overall than the London Underground, which has 250 miles of track, much of which, however, is overground. About 110 miles of the London Underground is actually below ground-level.

On that basis, only a small part, maybe 5-10 miles, or <10%, of the Gaza tunnels have been explored or destroyed by the invading Israeli forces so far. Information is obviously being restricted at present.

It makes me wonder whether similar tunnels do not also penetrate Israeli state territory from Lebanon or elsewhere, tunnels perhaps so far underground that they are undetectable.

Most of them are pretty useless.

Something that I, a one-time resident of the tri-state area (and qualified New York attorney and counsellor-at-law) never imagined I should see.

…and about 20,000 Gazan civilians, about half of whom were under 18, and a quarter of whom were babies, or small or young children.

12 metres, so nearly 40 feet wide. These are, in the context, war crimes.

Let them laugh. “They” will not be laughing in a few years’ time, and not only in Israel/Palestine…

Events are constantly putting Russia in a better position strategically.

When I was several months in Egypt in 1998, I used to really enjoy the flat bread fresh from local bakeries, usually bought from a hole in the wall about a foot or so wide. Still very warm, and with a unique taste not experienced anywhere else in the world. The (Egyptian) Arabic word for it is aysh, implying its importance to life.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12892891/labour-mp-dawn-butler-mumsnet-met-police-brianna-ghey-murder-trial-verdict.html

“Labour MP Dawn Butler has vowed to report online message board Mumsnet to the Metropolitan Police after users on the site and other social media slammed her reaction to the Brianna Ghey murder trial verdict.“

[Daily Mail]

This is where we are now in the UK. Anything online that some idiot like Dawn Butler dislikes is now “reported”, either to the police or other bodies. If a prosecution under Communications Act 2003, s.127, occurs —and despite the Law Commission having recommended repeal of that as “bad law”— anything highly critical or satirical is now deemed “offensive”, and in practice as “grossly offensive” (and so unlawful).

It is a Kafka-esque farce which I saw at first-hand as defendant in such a case only last month.

The law in this area gives carte blanche to, especially, the usual malicious and politically-motivated Jew-Zionist whiners, such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, with the police and CPS as dupes.

Still, we must always remember that “the stars in their courses fight on the side of the just” [ancient Chinese proverb].

Dawn Butler’s actions give indication of what the likely “elected dictatorship” under Starmer may look like. Repressive.

Still, the only way at present to destabilize the mainly binary Lab/Con system is to knock out one or other main party. That will be the misnamed Conservative Party, which may be largely wiped out next year at the 2024 General Election, but the price for getting rid of the Conservative MPs will be a near-dictatorship under Starmer-Labour.

The developing “social dictatorship” trialled (in various respects) during the contrived panicdemic/scamdemic of 2020-2022.

If the authorities really wanted to address persistent (real) crime, they might start by banning anyone not on bona fide holiday, or bona fide recreational travel, from using a caravan or motorhome on the roads etc. You know what I mean…

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12893007/british-army-orders-400-soldiers-recruitment-offices.html

“Britain’s rapidly shrinking military has prompted defence chiefs to shift hundreds of troops from the front line and into recruitment offices.

More than 400 soldiers from across the British Army have been ordered by top brass to join the effort to try and get more people to enlist.

It comes as figures from the Labour party revealed the Army has shrunk by more than 3,000 troops in the past 12 months, with 9,438 personnel leaving while only 6,308 joined.

Britain’s part-time reservist force is also shrinking despite recent efforts to grow it. Between October last year and September 2023, 5,580 reservists left and only 3,780 joined. 

The latest recruitment statistics from the Ministry of Defence reveal the total Army strength plummeted from 79,139 to 75,983 during the same period, as recruiters failed to hire fresh new personnel to plug the gaps, leaving key roles unfilled.“

[Daily Mail]

So the first move in getting more troops on the front-line is to…take 400 soldiers out of the spearhead forces and sit them in offices?

“Lions led by donkeys“, as someone once said.

Why do we actually bother with an Army and Navy now? They seem incapable of stopping the only invasion happening, or likely to happen these days— the migration-invasion.

Occasionally, some political cretin such as Gavin Williamson [https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/], or Ben Wallace, will “threaten” China or Russia but, as someone else once said, “a general without troops is naked indeed“.

Empty bluster from political nonentities just makes Britain look even weaker than it is, and that is pretty weak.

[Note: the post mentioned, about a young man talking to a by-election crowd about the migration-invasion, has been deleted for some reason].

I looked at lost Doggerland in a blog post of 2020: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2020/05/19/lost-doggerland-some-historical-changes-and-some-large-scale-projects/.

It may be my least-read blog post, out of over 1,600, but I think that it is certainly worth reading.

Ukrainian “refugees”, among others, are doing that. Most of Ukraine is not really a war zone, only about 10% of it; the far south-east parts, mostly.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12875077/Israel-s-killing-rage-undermining-legal-basis-Gaza-action-warns-Wallace.html

“Former defence secretary Ben Wallace has warned Israel that it risks undermining the legal basis for its action in the Gaza Strip, adding to growing international pressure over the escalating conflict.

Writing in the Telegraph, the senior Tory warned against a ‘killing rage’ and said Israel’s ‘original legal authority of self-defence is being undermined by its own actions’.

The intervention by Mr Wallace, who left office earlier this year, is the latest warning to Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration amid deepening concern over the scale of civilian casualties.”

[Daily Mail]

Even pro-Israel drones such as Wallace are now trying to distance themselves from Israel’s “massacre of (mainly) the innocents” in Gaza.

The Israelis and other Jews may not be (mainly) descended from the original Israelites of thousands of years ago (the Jews of today being descended mainly from Black Sea or other Khazars), but the former model their actions on the Israelites’ genocidal wars as recounted in the Old Testament.

“Jack Monroe”

I have in the past blogged about fraudulent “grifter” “Jack Monroe” a number of times (look via the blog search box), and still do not understand how it is that a black woman in Bristol is currently in prison for doing effectively the same as Jack Monroe (who has not been prosecuted): see https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/31/edward-colston-statue-protest-bristol-xahra-saleem-fundraiser.

The above details only “Jack Monroe’s” Patreon “grift”. In addition, the “grifting” fraud also got money from stray donations direct to her, from newspaper interviews, radio, and TV shows and interviews, from “consultancy” “work” for major supermarkets, from well-paid appearances at various festivals and other events, and from book royalties, as well as from fake appeals for money based on non-existent legal actions against Lee Anderson MP and others (monies which “Jack Monroe” then pocketed for her own use). A total of tens of thousands of pounds a month at peak.

If you do, you risk (in the UK) being prosecuted at the behest of the Jew-Zionist lobby, eg the malicious cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. They have corrupted or otherwise suborned the police and CPS. I myself was recently convicted in the magistrates’ courts by reason of such a prosecution, as regular readers of the blog will know (I may appeal; we shall see).

Incredibly, there are millions of poor saps who believe loonies and/or liars of that sort. If you are told constantly, for example, from age 5 or 7 or 10, or 14, and from all manner of “authoritative” msm and other sources, that millions of Jews were killed during 1941-1944 in “gas chambers” by German SS personnel in Poland, then that idea becomes embedded in your psyche, and stays there until you are, so to speak, “cured” in —usually— later life, whether that be at age 21, 28, 35, 42 or whenever.

They sit there in their armchairs, calling for genocide, while fellow-Jews smile and laugh in the TV studio or elsewhere, yet if anyone in the West posts a comment about them, or a satirical cartoon, they are —or pretend to be— horrified, and equate that to “terrorism”…

Esther McVey is merely one of hundreds of “deadhead MPs”. The fact that so many clowns can become MPs and even Cabinet ministers proves, in my judgment, that the whole system is rotten.

My assessment of Esther McVey from 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/10/03/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-esther-mcvey-story/.

Goodwin is right on those points, but goes very far wrong in persisting in his support for the Israel lobby, aka Jew-Zionist lobby, the very pack that is closing down free speech in the UK, not to mention supporting the migration invasion.

Stupid “Conservative” drone thinks that about 50,000 migrant-invaders crossing the Channel every year is “not a huge amount“. 1,000 each week. Where does the Government intend to park 1,000 new arrivals each and every week until the year dot (or until the UK explodes)?

This is him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Jackson.

Oh, turns out he was an expenses cheat as well, when an MP for 12 years (2005-2017): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Jackson#Parliamentary_expense, and has tried to vandalize Wikipedia to remove references to that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Jackson#Wikipedia_biography.

Christmas University Challenge

Alumni match. Fairly underwhelming, though not the worst I have seen. Was surprised that Lucy Powell, MP for Manchester Central [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Powell] had apparently never heard of the National Government [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Government_(1931)].

“Metropolitan Kyrill of Smolensk addressed the crowd of thousands in Kiev: “What was Russia baptised for? For us to be happy. Russia, Ukraine, Belarus – this is Holy Russia! Holy Russia is not an empire, it is not a union: former or some future one. Holy Russia is an ideal of love, goodness and truth. We are all with you, one Holy Russia! Remain who you are and nothing will shake our unity.“”

I myself once met a Metropolitan of Kiev (the second-ranking dignity in the Russian Orthodox Church). At breakfast. My then girlfriend was looking after him that day (he spoke no English).

I think that that was at the de Vere Hotel by Kensington High Street, and in the early/mid-1980s. Maybe 1983 or 1984. He gave me some of his kefir (the first time I had tried it) and, at the same time, deftly fielded a question from me about his view of Tolstoy. Later that morning, at the empty Russian Orthodox Cathedral (also in Kensington), he gave me a bottle of Moskovskaya vodka.

When I was a victim of a malicious Zionist complaint…
Diary Blog, 15 January 2022, including an outline of the failure of the latest Jew-Zionist attempt to prosecute me

Brilliant, and very true.

The Conservative Party Conference 2023. Hard to believe, for anyone who remembers the same convention in the 1970s, 1980s, even 1990s.

Do they support those areas having high fences around them?…

Out of 5 or 6 polling organizations, the highest Labour mark at present is 47%, the lowest 43%; the highest Con mark is 30%, the lowest 24%. LibDems are in the 9%-13% area.

Those figures could give a Labour Party majority of anywhere between 120 and 322 seats, according to Electoral Calculus: see https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

One usually expects a narrowing of the polls prior to a General Election, and there is still maybe as long as 14 months to go before the 2024 General Election, but there is no sign of Con Party revival so far. In fact, the empty conference hall at Manchester is symbolic of what is happening in the country. Even dyed-in-the-wool Conservative voters are deserting, I believe. They are not going to Labour, most of them, but are either going to protest-vote via Reform Party or the LibDems, or simply abstain.

As for Con Party MPs, many are deserting the sinking ship. There is no unity. Even Suella Braverman’s attempt to capture the populist vote has foundered. Useless former Home Secretary (and Israeli agent of influence) Priti Patel has criticized Suella Braverman, as has the Indian money-juggler himself (Sunak).

At the moment, it looks as if Labour will win a huge victory by default. That might change, but how?

“There was once a time when being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes was a death sentence. The ancient Egyptians first described the disease more than 3,000 years ago. During the many centuries that followed, parents would helplessly watch as their diabetic children slipped into comas and died.

By the 18th century, doctors discovered that a heavily modified diet could slow the disease. Many children were placed on starvation diets with limited carbs, which helped prolong their lives. However, such treatments were not very effective, and some children even starved to death. Fast forward to 1922, when a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital, where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetes. These children were in their deathbeds.

The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject each of them with a new purified extract of insulin that they were able to successfully isolate. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one that was injected began to wake up. Soon, all the children in the room began to wake up—one by one!

The scientists responsible for saving the children’s lives were Frederick Banting and Charles Best. They both agreed that it would be unethical to profit from a discovery that could potentially save millions of lives. They sold the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1. “Insulin belongs to the world, not me,” said Banting.“

Not only talented but also extremely altruistic.

I have to admit that, were I in their position, I might have kept the patent for my lifetime, and used the proceeds for my own humanitarian and conservation projects. They decided otherwise, as did another brilliant person, Tim Berners-Lee, the main force behind the World Wide Web.

HS2 should never have been approved. There were and are so many better uses for funding on that scale, even within the transport sector itself.

If not confronted at sea, they will have to be confronted later on land, in Rome, Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Stockholm, or London.

Basic Income will have to come, sooner or later.

“Ukraine” of the Kiev regime has long been a “failed state”; now it is not really a state at all.


Russia cannot lose this war, strategically.

The same or a similar social crisis as across Eurasia. The Japanese and others (including the UK) need to put in place social programmes to ensure that suitable young women reproduce (while the State reduces, steadily, immigrant infiltration). #Lebensborn.

Ben Wallace, a washed-up one-time Guards officer (whose highest rank was Captain), and who is now politically washed-up as well (he ceases to be an MP soon, before the next General Election in 2024) has nothing to add of value.

If the police, prosecutors, and courts behave like enemies, then they are enemies.

I say the same (“very or fairly bad”) about all of those categories, except the buses and the fire service, where I should have to answer “don’t know“.

Slightly simplistic but more true than untrue, in black and white terms.

Bridgen scored 62.8% in North West Leicestershire in 2019. How much of that was “Conservative party” label, and how much personal support is an open question which will be tested next year. He may be lucky, looking at the dwindling support for the Con Party.

In any case, the minister’s very silly idea seems to assume that shoplifters are all very obvious in their behaviour. Seems unlikely. Also, are members of the public likely to want to protect the inflated profits of Tesco etc?
