Public water supply, on the large scale, has to be in public ownership.

Yet many people, brainwashed by the System msm, will still vote System (Con, Lab, or the joke LibDems), in the belief that the longstanding System parties are more credible than others, even though that flies in the face of decades of their own lived experience.

If only the initial 2022 invasion by Russian forces had been planned and executed properly, in the Soviet fashion. A blitzkrieg for the sake of mercy.

Dan Hodges is not really a journalist in the traditional sense, more a tendentious and obsessed talking-head and scribbler.

Not very polite, but more or less what Hodges deserves…

I have little time for Farage, ideologically. His pro-Jew, pro-Israel stances, if nothing else, ensure that. His globalist and mindless “libertarianism” too.

Having said that, the “stunt” at Clacton was surely the stupid and meaningless “Count Binface” stunt, which was expressly backed by so many of the tired “woke” types on Twitter/X and in the msm (including Hodges).

The fact is that the old System parties, the LibLabCon-men (and women) are still running scared of Reform UK and, potentially, even more so of what can be seen coming down the tracks after Reform: maybe Restore Britain and, then, after that, real social nationalism.

The traditional System parties ran scared of Farage and Reform at Clacton. Had any of them thought they had a chance, they would have stood candidates. None did. They knew that Farage would beat them easily.

The “Binface” stunt showed, actually, how meaningless the Parliamentary circus is. More than 9,000 cretins (or disenchanted) voted for the “Binface” stunt nitwit. I suppose that, had the System parties stood, Lab and LibDem would have lost their deposits or nearly so (as happened in 2024), and that the Con candidate would have received a few thousand votes and probably come second.

Unable to say more about the actual result (i.e. Farage and Reform getting 63.34% of the vote, as against 46.2% in 2024), the msm scribblers have decided that the big story is that Farage did not turn up for the official declaration…

Latest vlog from Bealtaine Cottage

Some of her comments show an (inchoate) understanding of the encroaching evil in the world, evil using bureaucracy —and endless laws and regulations— as a cloak. She also realizes that that has increased and encroached more since the “Covid” scamdemic of 2020-2022.

As blogged yesterday, Burnham is out of his depth. Not as obviously evil as his predecessor, Starmer-stein, but so far pretty obviously without real ideas, and anyway without the means or references to radically improve things in the UK.

Anyone caught deliberately setting fires at the present time (as allegedly happened in the Stourbridge case) should be executed in the field, no matter whether they are 50 years old, 20, or (as implied) about 15.

Another commentator addicted to the “we did this” idea. No, “we” did not do this; a few malicious little bastards did it (it seems), and they should be caught and executed in the field. No need for a trial. Executive action.

In fact, that tweeter really knows that “we” are not doing it: see

I have already stated my view. A couple of field executions, and the deliberate fire-raising would stop.

[“NEW: Labour MP Rachael Maskell, who once said that it doesn’t matter if mass migration causes longer NHS waiting times in working class areas, has attacked plans to house more migrants near her 90% white constituency of York Central.

She has described the plans as “unsuitable”, claiming it will cause a strain on local resources.

Funny how that works.”]

So it begins…

Rachael Maskell is an idiot (and clearly a hypocrite), but no worse than most MPs now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachael_Maskell.

Those who want more migration (invasion) into the UK, or think it not a big issue, are either traitors to the future of the British people, or totally deluded. Mass immigration impacts almost everything: housing, road and rail capacity, education, pay, State benefits (including pensions), social services, NHS services, policing, even water supply.

Don’t forget the “Conservative” (((Conservative))) Party, which presided over massive migration-invasion from 2010-2024.

[“PRIME MINISTER ANDY BURNHAM — COME TO PIDDINGTON. @andyburnham See what Whitehall sees only on a map. A village of 350 people. 46 children. No shop. No pub. No substantial infrastructure. Drive the fast rural roads — stretches with no pavement and no safe pedestrian route to the nearest town, six miles away. Now consider the proposal: accommodation for up to 1,250 male asylum seekers on the edge of our village. More than three times our entire population. Explain to our 46 children and their families how a development of this scale will work safely. Tell us where the infrastructure is. Tell us what the policing plan is — because when we asked, none was provided. Cherwell District Council has stated there was no prior engagement or consultation before the announcement. Explain why. You have spoken about giving places outside Westminster a voice. Ours is clear. 96% of those voting supported a referendum on our future. We are not asking you to read another letter. We are asking you to come here. Walk the village. Meet the residents. See the roads. Answer the questions. Do not make decisions about Piddington from Whitehall. 350 people. 46 children. One village that refuses to be ignored. We are Piddington. THE VILLAGE THAT ROARED“]

System MPs, ministers, and prime ministers take no notice of letters, petitions, tweets, or blog posts for that matter. Only one thing really scares them, and I cannot specify what that is, because the UK is nowhere near a “free country” these days. Just read between the lines, as people living under unfree governments have always done.

Now, listen— those migrant-invader bastards are not welcome in these islands. They must be, to put it plainly, concentrated in guarded camps in remote parts of the UK until they can be either deported or eliminated.

Millions are on their way. Stop them, using whatever it takes. Whatever it takes.

Oh, and if the Navy or others refuse to do their duty, dismiss them all, and recruit new personnel.

The cartoonists have picked up on it:

Refers, of course, not only to the migration invasion but also to the ludicrous propaganda being pumped out on msm about how Putin and Russia want to invade Western or Central Europe and even the UK (which they could never do anyway, and would never want to do).

Taking the propaganda at its face, I should far rather be invaded by a million or more Russians (who are, overall, as a people, basically cultured, quite often of high IQ, and of European-origin for the most part) than —as now— invaded by millions of black/brown, low-IQ, low —or no— culture (sometimes subhuman) migrant invaders, many of whom have a predisposition to sex crime (in fact, do not even regard rape etc as crimes, as can be seen in criminal court reports daily now).

As far as 99% of the migrant-invaders are concerned (not just the small-boat invaders), the best that we can expect is that they will be merely an army of parasites, living off the British people. In reality, many are also involved in one or another type of crime. A few (or maybe more than a few) are also motivated by support for out-and-out terrorism. In fact, many of the invaders hate us, despite the fact that our misguided or malicious governments have been giving them shelter, food, and spending money.

We have to stop this whole invasion, get rid of the invaders already here, and make the UK, overall, an ethnostate.

I have driven past there once or twice, in more abundant days circa 2004, when the reservoir was full.

It cannot be defended. Evacuate the European population, and leave both enclaves (Ceuta and Melilla) to the invaders, but then shoot to kill any who arrive on Spanish shores, on the shores of sacred Europe.

Israel must be regarded as a pariah-state, not to be traded with, or even spoken to, by civilized Europe (Christendom, if you like).

Its “fifth columns” within Europe must be dealt with.

Bolton, a pro-“intervention” (pro-war) policy hawk (who himself however managed to avoid having to see action in Vietnam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bolton#Vietnam_War) is associated with all the usual pro-war causes (pro-Israel, pro-“Ukraine” etc): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bolton#Israel.

In short, a horrible old bastard.

The Kiev regime continues to hit purely civilian targets.

I think that the Russian side will soon get very tired of trying to very slowly advance in Eastern Ukraine, and may be wondering whether it really needs to keep Kiev and other major centres in existence.

I hope that the great city of Kiev will not be devastated or destroyed (again) but the way things are going look stormy. Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose this war.

Liz Truss and woolly-head Kwarteng will kill their own party

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/oct/12/one-in-five-families-in-liz-trusss-seat-would-lose-out-under-real-term-benefit-cuts

At least one in five working-age families in most UK constituencies – including in Liz Truss’s seat – would lose out by hundreds of pounds on average if real-terms benefit cuts go ahead, a study has found.

The scale of the impact of a below-inflation rise on already struggling households and by extension, local shops and businesses, is revealed in a study by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). It would amount to the biggest-ever real terms cut to benefits in a single year.

The findings will increase pressure on the prime minister to stick to promises made by her predecessor, Boris Johnson, to guarantee benefits would rise next April in line with September inflation – about 10% – rather than by the rise in earnings figure of 6%. This real-terms cut would deliver around £5bn in savings to the Treasury.

Dozens of backbench Tory MPs are understood to be prepared to rebel over real-terms benefits cuts, while a number of cabinet ministers – including Penny Mordaunt and Robert Buckland – have also signalled their opposition.

The JRF analysis shows seven out of 10 MPs represent areas where at least 20% of households are reliant on universal credit and other means-tested benefits. These include 193 Conservative seats, including a number of key marginals where over a third of working-age families would be affected by a cut.

“Politicians should think long and hard about the impact of withholding hundreds of pounds from thousands of families in their constituencies when the basic rate of benefits is already at its lowest in real terms for 40 years and prices are sky-high,” said Katie Schmuecker, JRF’s principal policy adviser

Families in ”red wall” seats in one-time Labour strongholds taken by the Conservatives at the last general election would be particularly badly affected by real-term benefit cuts. They include Blackpool South, where nearly half (46%) of households stand to lose out, Burnley (38%), and Redcar (33%).

The JRF analysis shows that even in the most affluent constituencies at least one in 10 households are on means-tested benefits.

A former academic at University College London must pay almost £50,000 in damages to a former colleague after falsely portraying her as a sex worker on social media as part of a months-long campaign of harassment.

Christopher Backhouse, a former research fellow at the department of physics and astronomy at UCL, has settled to pay £49,975 to Erica Smith, a physicist and a postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University in the US.

Backhouse was revealed as the perpetrator after Smith enlisted a US lawyer to subpoena Twitter and Google. Documents from the tech giants identified an IP address in London, despite great lengths by the perpetrator to cover their tracks using global proxy servers, the court heard.

Using a Norwich Pharmacal Order (NPO) against BT, a disclosure order allowing information to be obtained from third parties, Backhouse was revealed as the customer connected with the London IP address.”

It will be recalled that Derbyshire Police (one of the worst-performing forces in the UK) was instrumental in the Jew-Zionist campaign against satirist Alison Chabloz, and its Police and Crime Commissioner at the time (removed in 2021) was a Labour Party drone, a Sikh, who was basically suborned some years ago by the malicious small pressure group called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”].

Derbyshire Police was also one of the worst police forces involved in illegal bullying of the public during the “panicdemic” of 2020-2021.

Talking about the police and their slide into becoming a pathetic poundland KGB, what about this, below?

The ridiculous little twerp of a policeman shown is indeed, as the tweeter writes, egregious in his behaviour.

“Labour” is now just a label. In fact, one of Labour’s least impressive MPs, the unpleasant self-publicist Jess Phillips, said a few years ago that it was “just a f****** rose” (a reference to its symbol).

Labour is riding high in the opinion polls now by default, the Conservative Party having all but imploded, but Labour, in itself, is every bit as rubbish as the Conservative Party.

Both main parties are just one System, really.

A “coup” launched by Jews, and doormats of the Jewish lobby; Lisa Nandy being one of the latter.

RAF, Royal Navy, and the defence of the UK

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11116917/RAF-jobs-boss-quits-amid-claims-offers-white-men-paused-meet-diversity-targets.html

Job offers to white male recruits of the RAF have effectively been paused to meet diversity targets, defence sources have claimed. 

Women and ethnic minorities are reportedly being favoured in recruitment drives to meet ‘impossible’ targets, which has prompted the Head of Recruitment at the RAF to resign in protest. 

The officer, a female herself, left the post amid concerns that hiring restrictions could undermine the strength of the service, according to sources.

Sources claim recruiters within the RAF have been told to temporarily pause offering roles to white male recruits in favour of women and ethnic minorities.

Head of the RAF Air Chief Marshall Sir Mike Wigston has been accused of willing to compromise the security of the UK to improve diversity within the force at a crucial time when threats from Russia and China loom.

Last year, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, Head of the armed forces, spoke publicly about the importance of striving for more diversity and that it was all about ‘woeful’ statistics. 

‘The woefulness of too few women,’ he said. ‘The woefulness of not reflecting the ethnic, religious and cognitive diversity of our nation.’ “

Ha. The idea that the UK’s skeleton air force and skeleton navy can protect the UK from such behemoths as China and Russia is somewhere between a bad joke and a complete delusion.

In any case, China has expressed no intention at any time of invading the UK offensively. Indeed, why should it, when huge numbers of Chinese are actually living here, when more are arriving daily, and when the Boris-idiot government of clowns has invited most of of the present residents of Hong Kong, millions of them, to migrate to the UK?

Look around pretty much any English town or city and note the hordes of Chinese.

In the famous words of Sun Tzu, “to win without war— this is the supreme excellence” [Sun Tzu, The Art of War].

As for Russia, the Soviet Union collapsed a long time ago, officially 31 years ago (1991) but in reality around 1989, some 33 years ago.

The Soviet Union, though aiming overall for stability rather than conquest after the 1960s, might still have invaded Western Europe (including the UK) in the 1970s or 1980s, but since then the Russian Federation has not harboured any ideas of invading the west of Europe. Indeed, the very idea is laughable.

In the 1990s, carpetbagging companies, firms, and individuals (the last mainly Jews) ripped off the Russian people relentlessly. Geopolitically, NATO (meaning the New World Order conspiracy) poked Russia incessantly, and showed bad faith by establishing NATO/US bases around Russia, in places only a few miles from Russia’s borders.

I could see this situation developing in the 1990s. Now, it has led to what we see in Ukraine— actual warfare with Russia, with the Kiev regime of the Jew Zelensky as NATO/US/NWO proxy.

Russia today presents no danger to the UK, unless the UK continues to join in with the USA (NWO, in reality) in encircling and threatening Russia, as well as arming and assisting the Kiev regime.

From where comes the danger to the British people? From Russia? No. From China? No.

Externally, the main and in fact almost sole real threat to Britain comes from the cross-Channel migration-invasion, now running at 500-1,000 invaders daily.

Not only has the Royal Navy not stopped the cross-Channel invasion, it has actually helped to provide a shuttle service to bring more of the bastards onto our shores. The same is true of Border Force (so-called; many prefer “Border Farce“).

What about the RAF? Well, I’m sure that they fly over the Channel taking lots of pretty pictures of the boats and ships ferrying the migrant invaders to UK shores…

Senior officers of the paper-shuffling type now “in command” of our navy and air force not only would not be much good, in all likelihood, were a conventional invasion ever to happen, but would in any case have only pitiful forces with which to repel it. The same, pretty much, would be true of the British Army.

Painted ship[s, and planes] on a painted ocean“…

From where, then, does the threat to Britain, to the British people, come, if not from Russia or China? From within.

Britain has been weakened, and wounded, perhaps mortally, by mass migration over decades, and particularly since the 1990s. I rarely go to London these days, having lived there on and off since 1976; when I do, I see a city largely foreign, even in the central and near-central areas. As for areas such as East London, forget it (there, it is a question of being in a totally alien environment, and if you see another white man, it is a case of “Hail, Robinson Crusoe“, pretty much).

The UK has also been weakened over decades by the trash pumped out on TV, radio, in films, etc. Much of it, though not all, can be laid at the door of the Jewish element. Jewish comedians, Jewish scribblers, and also those non-Jews who are generally the “useful idiot” type; pseudo-radicals. Look at the Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Then there is the sort of mass ideological subversion seen in “soaps”, TV ads etc. I have blogged from time to time about this, which surely must have reached a peak now:

Then there is subversion in the classroom, and the whole “woke” nonsense in universities etc.

For arguably the first time in British history, there really are now no external and proximate military threats to national sovereignty.

The real (major) threats facing Britain are not such as can be countered by the deployment of a tank, or a plane, or a battleship, even were those available.

There is all the difference in the world between fasting regularly as a spiritual discipline, and simply not having the money with which to feed yourself.

As to genuine fasting, used in various religions and occult disciplines, it works because the act of fasting according to a regular schedule imprints the greater perfection of the physical body on the etheric body and then on the astral body. A mild form of fasting would be the traditional Roman Catholic meat-free Friday, albeit that other food such as fish can be substituted.

…says Liz Truss, who was not exactly a noted or hard-working success story before she blagged her way into becoming an MP, which she accomplished at least partly on her back.

Even leaving aside the point in question, how ridiculous it is that “we” (as a people) tend to place those who simply have enormous amounts of money on such pedestals in the first place: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos etc. Do they really have much or anything worthwhile to say beyond the ambit of their own businesses? Not that I have seen, anyway. Would “we” listen to their views if they suddenly had no money and were on the dole or whatever? I doubt it.

I wonder in what circle of Hell would Dante have placed such people?

London. Zoo. Monkeyworld.

My own take on all that is that the “Conservative” Government is a fake, useless, and clueless but that the “Labour” Opposition, or non-opposition, is much the same.

Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer has nothing to say, and many voters may just think “better the devil you know“, and so will either abstain or vote Conservative. I see no enthusiasm anywhere for Labour, and while that perception is personal and unscientific, I think that opinion polls etc reflect the same.

Both main System parties are dying inside their armour.

Not that there is enthusiasm for the Conservative Party either. In fact, Liz Truss seems to be less popular (both among Con Party members and the general public) than Boris-idiot.

At present, in my view, we are very much in hung Parliament territory but, as we all know, elections accelerate the pace as polling day approaches and, while that may be in late 2022, it may only come in late 2024, over two years from now.

How disgusting. It should be illegal to import “declawed” cats. This is an American or Americanized trend. How anyone can do such a thing to a little cat is beyond me. I suppose that it appeals to materialistic persons, mainly women (arguende) who are “house-proud” and do not want their (probably tasteless) furniture or furnishings damaged.

As far as I am concerned, I have always been content to let my companion cat or cats “distress” leather armchairs etc. So what if they are slightly worn to look at? It means that they do not look vulgar and new. Better to let the furniture look a little “distressed”. Shabby chic, as people say.

Well-meaning (?) actions often lead to terrible results. An individual has to balance possible sins of commission against possible sins of omission. In the Spanish proverb, “do what you will, and pay for it“…

I agree with “EternalEnglish”. There are many other countries that I have no wish to visit, but Pakistan would be at or near the top of any list.

That tweet moved me to find out how many of the ~200 countries of the world I have at least visited. Turns out— only about 50, so I have not seen three-quarters of the countries of the world.

I have not seen Latin America south of Panama, and even within Europe have never been to Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Finland, or Sweden (well, I did get to Malmo once, in 1982, on a ferry from West Germany, but was refused entry).

I have also not seen any of the former Yugoslav states, or Belarus, or the Baltic states, or Malta.

Actually, there are only a few individual places that I both have not seen but also might want to see, though the desire is not strong. Maybe St. Petersburg (I have only seen Moscow), as well as Oulu, Baden-Baden, Budapest (I have spent time in Hungary, but mainly in the southeast and at Lake Balaton).
