Not just TV news reports, but reports leading the TV news.
This seems to me like overkill, really. After all, terrible as the crash was, killing 16 people, it was 2 days ago, no-one is still trapped or requiring rescue, plenty of major news is happening elsewhere and, in the end, this did not even happen in the UK. A straightforward crash incident, which happened in seconds, or a few minutes, which was a one-off incident, and the causes of which will no doubt be investigated (very likely a cable problem, possibly metal fatigue, and insufficient maintenance). Yet the BBC and Sky News still have reporters on the scene. Why? Enough.
Whatever the exact rights and wrongs of Angela Rayner’s (latest) property purchase, the background to the matter was the “fill your boots” mentality with which this Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment is suffused.
It became known a year ago that Angela Rayner had accepted gifts of clothes, I think also cash donations, and free trips to noisy vulgar clubs in Ibiza, the appalling nightclub, drink, and drugs island. Not that she was alone in accepting “freebies”. Her boss, Starmer-stein, had accepted clothes for himself and his Jewish wife, and even free eye-glasses!
Angela Rayner also postponed, on rather spurious grounds, some of the previously-scheduled 2025 UK local elections, which postponements—whatever the reasons for postponement— looked bad at a time when Labour was already losing ground greatly to Reform UK.
The postponed local elections will now not take place until May 2026. Both Labour and Conservative parties must be dreading them.
That whole “fill your boots” or “make hay while the sun is shining” mentality, which pervades Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel cabal, was also a major factor putting paid to the Conservative Party’s electoral chances in 2024, after years of crony-corruption under (mainly) “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss (briefly, in her 49 days as PM), and the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.
So what now for Angela Rayner? She had been puffed as the successor to Starmer. Perhaps, though that seems far less likely now, bearing in mind the public perception of her. Some may think her a greedy, moneygrasping, “typical MP”; others say “it was not her fault, because she failed to take obvious steps to avoid the situation which arose“. Well, so not dishonest, simply careless and/or clueless? Not a very good impression either way.
In any case, Labour is now facing a really major challenge from Reform UK, which is really just the public’s proxy method for “getting rid of both Lab and Con“. The idea that Angela Rayner might be the next Prime Minister always seemed to me unlikely to happen, and now seems a very remote possibility indeed.
As to Rayner herself, the resignation will hit her rather hard financially. Loss of her Government position means that her salary is halved, she now being left with “only” the (just under) £94,000 p.a. MP salary (and attendant expenses). She now also loses whatever access she may have had to the country houses used on weekends by Government ministers. There are smaller hits as well, such as loss of the government cars and drivers that ferry ministers around.
Wider political fallout? Well, just another hit that Starmer could have done without. The Reform annual conference is taking place now, and Angela Rayner may be good ammunition for Farage. Also, the news will mute any criticism of Reform people for whatever they may say during the conference.
In any case, people are intending to vote Reform to stamp on Lab and Con, so anything negative in the msm about Farage and Reform will not, I think, have much effect, because people already know that Farage and especially his cohorts are not the best and brightest. That makes little difference to how people are intending to vote.
“Huge tracts of precious riverside habitats for water voles and other wildlife in England are being lost as they are not covered by post-Brexit farming rules, campaigners warn.
New analysis by the Wildlife Trusts found more than 400square km of riverside habitat in England may have been lost since the UK left the EU in 2020.
Under the common agricultural policy (CAP), which subsidised farming when the UK was in the bloc, farmers had to keep a 2-metre buffer between their fields and the rivers. But with the UK’s exit from the CAP, farmers may try to increase their income by ploughing to the edge of their field – an area that, at present, is unprofitable for them.
As well as being a critical habitat for wildlife, waterway banks are home to plants that filter pollution from the water.“
[Guardian]
As regular readers of the blog know, I am not very pleased about the farming lobby. Not all farmers are greedy, moneygrasping, environmentally-destructive nuisances, but many are.
I remember that on TV from the early 1960s, when I was about 5 or 6 years old.
For me, the point is not that Nadine Dorries is an idiotic woman, an expenses-blodger and outright fraud, or that “Boris”-idiot and Liz Truss are nominally (and only nominally) better-educated versions of the same brainless type, but that the whole political system we now have in the UK promotes such cretins, selects them as candidates etc.
Labour's re-election chances blown out of the water by a triple resignation?
My view is that the Reform candidates are relatively unpolished, most of them, so the relative absence of the bright lights of msm publicity and exposure might actually help Reform. That may sound cynical, but the old System parties are just waiting for Farage’s candidates to slip on banana skins.

So former fraudulent expenses-cheat and puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby, Ed Balls (husband of similar Yvette Cooper; they are both members of Labour Friends of Israel) has his latest rubbish political prediction blown out of the water only one day after he made it!

Yvette Cooper should leave the Home Office. She has been utterly incompetent. The small boats crisis, the use of asylum hotels, the resistance to a rape gang inquiry, the chaos, it all got worse under her watch.
Her incompetence is now going to be transferred to the Foreign Office.

Good grief. Lammy is a total ignoramus. As Foreign Secretary (and in every other role, including that of MP) he has been a bad joke. Now his head is on the stick of “Deputy Prime Minister”. Britain has become a joke country.
In any case, that (((Zeffman))) character is wrong. The new “Lord Chancellor” is ignorant black, David Lammy, who takes over from equally ignorant Shabana Mahmood. Both of them together were only at the practising Bar for a very short time. Not really qualified for the office.

Something pretty big is missing from Labour's historic landslide: voters. Keir Starmer is set to win 64 per cent of the seats but on only 33.8 per cent of the votes, the smallest vote share of any modern PM https://t.co/kD6RBa8VaR
Not only that, but Starmer-Labour’s vote-share of 33.8% was, of course, 33.8% of those that bothered to vote. Turnout was only 60%, so Starmer-Labour’s share of the entire eligible electorate was only 20.28%. That’s before you even take into account those too young to vote.
So active support for Starmer-Labour is, at best, little more than 20%, one in five of the eligible electorate. Even then, one has to consider that —as I have blogged since a long time prior to the General Election— the main motivation for all voters, except the quite small minority that actually voted Conservative, was to get rid of the Conservative government and, if possible, party, not to install a Starmer-Labour government.
It is quite likely that only about 10%-15% of the population really support Starmer-Labour.
Of course, it is worse for the Conservative Party. On the above bases and premises, real support for the Conservatives, in the country as a whole, is somewhere between 5% and 14%. Much worse than their headline 23.7% vote-share.
Nearly 60% of voters, of the 60% who voted, voted for one of the three main System parties, but if you factor in the non-voting eligible voters, that means that a minority (well below 40%) of all eligible voters voted for a System party . Then factor in younger people unable to vote, and the true “support” figure for the System, let alone the Starmer-Labour part of it, reduces to somewhere abound 20% (with Labour having maybe 15%, as already noted).

These are valid questions. But we could ask this of the entire cabinet? Literally none of them have experience of my distinction outside of playing politics.

These are important questions, that can’t simply be brushed aside with a few slurs.“
Interesting.
Look at thick-as-two-short-planks David Lammy, now Foreign Secretary.
Admittedly, recent years have seen quite a few deadhead appointees to Cabinet anyway (including, as Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss and “Boris”-idiot), but look at this!
The only way this undeserved huge-majority Starmer-Labour government will not crash and burn within 1-2 years will be if it can stop mass immigration into the UK (I doubt that it will even try), and stop the cross-Channel “small boats” migration invasion (Starmer will probably simply set up “processing centres” in France, then rubberstamp 95% of applicants).
Starmer will also have to reconcile the “need” (caused mainly by mass immigration) to build huge numbers of new and really affordable houses and flats, meaning council or other social housing, and at the same time not trash the —mainly— English countryside, including Green Belt land.
Starmer-Labour will probably not have the money to build millions of dwelling units, so will turn to private housebuilding carpetbaggers, and so will probably let them loose on what should be protected countryside. Starmer will all but demolish planning controls answerable to local people.
I can see even worse bullying of the sick, disabled, and unemployed. Look at Rachel Reeves and Liz Kendall. Do you really see any compassion (or any particularly high intellect, or any willingness to think outside the box) there? I don’t.
Looks also as if the UK will continue to throw support, including money and weapons, to both “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) and Israel.
I see no higher (indeed, lower) living standards in prospect. Mass immigration inevitably means lower pay (whatever some Twitter-twits may think), and also higher taxes (because most of the immigrants are, at best, parasitic overall, and many are prolifically criminal as well).
The fabric of society will continue to fray, both by reason of the importation of about a million non-Europeans each year and because of cultural and administrative factors.
In short, this new pseudo-landslide government will almost certainly fail the British people, and fail quickly. After the people wake up to that, anything is possible.

Apparently, his methods, harsh though they certainly were, checked the problem sufficiently until systemic improvements were implemented: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinsky#Director_of_Cheka.

Oh, right…let’s have a “bas-class” Mauritian Indian and pro-Israel puppet as “Conservative” leader and, later, potential (will never happen, though) Prime Minister…
Nigel Farage’s plan to be prime minister in five years’ time may seem far-fetched, but it would take fewer than 340,000 voters to switch to Reform UK for the party to overtake the Tories and become the official opposition, a Telegraph analysis shows
I always said that the reason why British people, most of them, have not turned to social nationalism over my lifetime [b.1956] is because not enough of them were hurting enough. Not enough of them hurting enough and not enough of them knowing where to place the blame and, also, not enough of them knowing where to place their trust.
The situation at present, as I see it, is that living standards are now falling (and have been for some time), that social and civic standards are in most respects at an all-time low, and still sliding, and that the background and intellectual level of MPs is at an all-time low, as is public trust in, and respect for, them.
All those above factors are getting worse, more pronounced. At the same time (and connected to the above), mass immigration is totally out of control. Not just the cross-Channel “illegals”, but the “legals” coming in on student visas, work visas, “family and friends” visas, “fiancee” visas, tourist visas (the “tourists” then disappearing or claiming asylum) and the rest. A million a year, give or take.
That whole situation has been the background for the loss of confidence in the Conservative Party, and is also the reason why Starmer-Labour is also actually quite unpopular, despite its “landslide by default”.
The happy cheers from TV studios and from System journalists such as John Rentoul are not echoed by the British people.
The situation on the ground is why Reform UK, despite its semi-“libertarian” bias, and its often underwhelming candidates, has managed to get 5 MPs and (arguably as important) over 4 million votes.
When Starmer-Labour falters, in 2025 or 2026, the British people may be ready for a much more radical movement of the “Overton Window”, policies well beyond those of Farage’s Reform UK.

…and then, after those who stole and grifted for years get chucked out in elections, those same cheats and freeloaders (such as Jacqui Smith) get invited back into government, given a peerage (no need for silly elections, oh no…), and a ministerial portfolio! How wonderful “democracy” is!

Ha. Well said. I think that it was Valentin Tomberg who said that the “mask of Evil” would be partly removed from the 20th Century onward. It has become increasingly clear to what extent many of the socio-political campaigns whirling around us are interconnected.
Never forget that this Government went on national television to tell you to turn your heating off in the middle of Winter to save money, while simultaneously sending billions abroad to fund a war that has nothing to do with us.
…and most of the Prime Ministers of the UK in the past 30+ years have either been part-Jews or (Sunak) non-white. I think that that does not apply to Gordon Brown or Liz Truss. Still, that means that it does apply to the past 6 out of 8 PMs. About 30 years out of 33.

Well, there it is. Anyone over State Pension age voting for Labour is a turkey voting for Christmas. There are many reasons not to vote “Conservative” but, by the same token, there are (as far as I can see) also no reasons at all to vote for fake “Labour”.
Actually, listening to that horrible woman took me right back to the days of Blair/Brown: the unwillingness to answer a question honestly, the soundbite mantra etc. Very offputting.
Angela Rayner wants to build huge numbers of new houses, presumably to house the millions of migrant-invaders, without which we should have no housing crisis at all. The housing crisis is, 90%+, a migrant invasion crisis.
The Tories would only get a handful of MPs if they do not raise State Pension using the triple lock 13 million angry pensioners turning against the Tories would mean virtual wipeout.
The next general election will be in 2024. If the Sunak misgovernment fails to implement fully the Triple Lock, thus raising the State Pension by over 8%, the Conservative Party is toast, not because the over-65 demographic will all go to vote Labour, but because some will vote that way, some will vote LibDem, some will vote elsewhere yet, and because many, perhaps very many will simply abstain.
In the same week that we learned that Marianna Spring made stuff up, we learned that wind power is not cheaper than gas and that Net Zero means using the force of criminal law against people in their own homes.

Makes you realize how much British taxpayer-money is thrown away on “defence”. Not just the fact that the UK Government has given tanks to the Kiev regime, which tanks then get destroyed in combat almost immediately; also, the fact that the UK Government saw fit to commission and pay for them in the first place.
Each of those tanks costs £4.2M, and seems to be all but useless against aerial attack or artillery bombardment, despite supposedly being superior to Russian equivalents.
The UK has not only given the Ukraine regime about 14 of these tanks but also has trained, free of charge, their Ukrainian crews in the UK.
You can see, on the face of Jewish-lobby and Israel-lobby puppet Starmer, that same bedazzled look that Tony Blair had on his simian mug when he went to Camp David for the first time. The “I’ve made it…I’m one of the global elite!“…
[see how star-struck were “Tony and Cherie”…]
Not that Starmer is wrong about Westminster. The UK Parliament is indeed a provincial, “tribal, shouting place“, as Starmer says in that oddly-incoherent “explanation”.
The point though, is that Starmer will never put the British people first now that he has been accepted, if only at this stage as a spectator or poor relation, at Davos, amid the helicopters and private jets.
No. He sees himself, in the future, “working with” people who (as he obviously imagines) really matter: billionaires, secret cabals formulating a new dystopian world etc. He is not the first, after all.
That organization, TBI, is funded partly by Blair himself (he having made many tens of millions, possibly hundreds of millions of pounds after having left office, and his moneygrubbing wife, Cherie, as much or more, apparently), partly by the USA, and partly by Saudi Arabia.
You find that many threads connect those who believe that they constitute a global elite and who are involved with the WEF/Davos, Bilderberg and/or connected secretive cabals. For example, Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand worked for Blair when he was Prime Minister.
The linkages go beyond mere function, i.e. beyond the fact that almost all leaders of governments are bound to have meetings together etc. The Western world’s leaders are connected, bound, tied by the secretive cabals to which most of them belong and whose conclaves they attend: WEF/Davos, Bilderberg, freemasonry, the Jewish/Zionist connections, and so on.
Blair, Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, Macron etc are but a few out of hundreds. Blair seems to have climbed to a certain level, though.
Note the ideological and practical similarities they all share: the whole “Covid” stuff, facemask nonsense and all; the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan and so the idea of mixed-race populations ruled by European and Jewish (often mixed) ruling strata; “climate change”/Net Zero, with all the dictatorial powers of government involved in that; the Money Power controlling democratic assemblies; and so on.
The outsiders who occasionally attain to political power in the West are tolerated temporarily if not too disruptive; if they become a nuisance, they are removed from power or actually eliminated, as are those who become unreliable and have served the “global elite” much lower down the food chain: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell etc.
Reverting to Keir Starmer, you can see that, for him, the British people are —at best— about fourth in his priority list, after the “global elite”/WEF/Davos and connected cabals, the Jewish/Israeli interest(s), freemasonry etc.
The present UK Government is of course pathetic, incompetent, undeserving of survival, and that applies to 90%+ of the “Conservative” MPs as well. However, the idea that “Labour” will be —in any substantial way— different or better, if/when forming a government in 2024, is just naive.
“The people voting for this Draconian energy Bill, should have been the people. The home owners lumbered with up to £15,000 fines and the possibility of 12 months jail time, for not being able to afford an inefficient electric heat pump boiler, or other enforceable purchases. This gives Government the powers to force you to have a smart meter, and enforce their way into your home. Read The Bill“
The fake “austerity” spending cuts brought in by part-Jew liars George Osborne and David Cameron-Levita-Schlumberger have destroyed both Britain and the misnamed “Conservative” Party.

And Ukraine and Western countries, he pointed out, have nothing to oppose it.
He particularly emphasized that the Russian army had prepared a trap for Ukrainian troops. When the Ukrainian armed forces enter it – they will have huge casualties.”

“The failure of Europe to keep pace with America has taken its toll on living standards. The average EU country is now poorer per head than every state in America bar Idaho and Mississippi.
The latter, the poorest state in the Union, is often referred to as America’s Third World but — with an average per capita annual income of $50,000 — the citizens of Mississippi are better off than their counterparts in France.”
[Daily Mail]
While I am no fan of the EU, the above is a typical example of how journalists twist the facts. Yes, per capita, France is “poorer” than Mississippi, but that is merely a headline figure.
In France, citizens get free and, until recently, quite good education, not only free at primary and secondary level, but also at tertiary level— universities, les grand ecoles, institutes etc. In Mississippi, higher education has to be paid for, either in cash or via student loans.
In France, medical and dental care of high quality is available via a hybrid State insurance system with a safety net for the unemployed, elderly etc. Hospital wards were done away with 40+ years ago. In Mississippi, there are areas without much healthcare at all and, despite Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare etc, health insurance is almost essential, if you or your employer can afford it.
Then there is the finance-capitalist system generally, and how it results in inequality of capital and income. In France, despite inequalities, there are relatively few people in grinding poverty; not so in Mississippi, where the top few percent take most of the money.

“Residents ‘gobsmacked’ as horse and carts race through Bournemouth.
Footage sent to the Echo shows youths sat on the back of a cart attached to horses in the Lower Gardens, underneath the flyover at Pier Approach.
Concerned residents feared there could have been injuries or even a fatality if the horses had hit somebody, so phoned the police.
One resident, who asked to remain unnamed, was walking around the town when he came across the bizarre sight on Saturday, July 22.
‘I was just concerned because had there been a little child, or pet, or mother with a pram came running down, the horse would have gone into them and there could have been a fatality.’
The man said it was the first time he had seen anything similar in more than 30 years of living in Bournemouth.
However, he didn’t want people to have negative attitudes towards travellers.“
[Bournemouth Echo].
Isn’t that so typical of England in 2023? Nuisances, in this case “travellers” (Irish “tinker” “gypsies”), make life difficult and less pleasant (and potentially dangerous) for normal citizens, but nothing is done about them, the police do nothing, and even the concerned citizen who reported them felt obliged to say that no-one should have “negative attitudes” towards the nuisance group.
The System propaganda, endlessly pumped out by most msm outlets, by schools, by the churches (what’s left of them), and by MPs (especially Labour ones) has seeped into the thinking of many many people.

HS2 was a wrongheaded concept anyway. The high-speed train idea is OK in much larger countries such as France or China, or very elongated countries, such as Japan. Chile would be ideal. Not in the UK, unless the train were to go London to Scotland, or maybe to Penzance; the present plan is London to Manchester via Birmingham.
The Eastern route (to Leeds) has gone. There never was a Cornish route, and anyway the existing rail line would not be strong enough to take such trains beyond Exeter.
The HS2 project should have been scrapped a decade ago, and the money spent on providing more services and more branch lines in the North.
As it is, the project will be delivered in the 2030s (maybe), at ruinous expense, at ruinous environmental cost. Already the construction has scarred the landscape, destroyed ancient woodland etc.
[HS2 ground preparation scars the landscape near Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, in 2021]
All so that a train currently taking 1 hr 22mins to Birmingham will take 52 mins in the future, a saving of 30 mins. Oddly, the reduction in (fastest) travel time to Manchester will be less— 1 hr 40 mins instead of 1 hr 54 mins, a saving of only 14 minutes.
It is just not worth the money and the environmental damage.

Wagner PMC fighters may attempt to invade NATO territory
According to the Polish vice-marshal Kaminsky, the "musicians" will carry out a military operation to attack the territory of Poland in order to "test NATO" for a response.
Dangerous territory both metaphorically and literally. If PMC Wagner were to attack Poland, that would presumably be taken to be an incident triggering Article 5 of the NATO Treaty (because presumably an action ordered by the Russian Government). Likewise, were Polish forces to attack official Russian or Belarusian forces, or to enter Ukrainian territory, there might be direct conflict between Polish and Russian forces, also probably triggering Article 5.
Sensible heads must rethink this conflict, and especially the increasingly frenetic NATO aid to the Kiev regime, before all Europe goes up in flames.

Prolific thieves are caught and convicted of stealing up to 50 times before they're jailed. Violent offenders are escaping jail until they've been convicted of up to 25 common assaults.
We need to get serious about crime. This is a joke.
You only have to look at the newspapers to see that that is so. The national ones do not carry the whole story. You see the picture better in the local newspapers (whether print or online). Even quite violent criminals with long and bad records are getting, quite often, suspended sentences, or even such leniency as conditional discharges.
As for thefts, unless the value involved is prodigious, a non-custodial sentence is the norm. Indeed, even where the record is very long and there are aggravating factors, e.g. having committed a “minor” theft (which can still be into the hundreds of pounds) during the currency of a suspended sentence, the time given is usually something like 1 or 2 months, meaning that the convict will be released in, quite likely, a couple of weeks (half of the headline sentence, minus any time spent in custody, but also administrative early release in many cases).
How long is a “long” record? In many cases, not even dozens but even hundreds of convictions, if relatively minor. For example, a shoplifting offence where the value is less than £200 carries a maximum sentence of 6 months in prison, in theory, but a more typical result is a penalty notice and fine of £80 rather than a trial, if the matter is admitted.
In fact, most smallish thefts of that sort never get to court, or even to the police (who now usually only attend stores if there has been a struggle of some sort). It is often left to the store staff to sort out (eg by expelling and banning the perpetrator). That’s when the perpetrator is caught at all.
If you look at local newspapers, you often see that, before a minor offender such as a shoplifter is imprisoned, the defendant will usually have been caught and convicted dozens and perhaps caught (and/or seen) by shop staff hundreds of times, and even then the sentence of imprisonment might be measured in weeks, maybe 10 weeks or similar, meaning out in about a month.
Not that I am a “hanger and flogger”, far from it, but it has become a bit of a joke.
The same is even true of offences involving violence, not uncommonly.
I noticed in the newspapers recently a trial of a gang involved in a series of high-value ATM ram-raids across the South of England. The amount taken was in the hundreds of thousands of pounds, and the damage done to shops and stolen cars (Range-Rovers etc) was even greater. Four or five were convicted at Crown Court. The leader got, I think, over 6 years, but will be released in 3 years; another pair got 3 years (so out in 18 months), and one got a non-custodial sentence.
Of course, say something online about, say, the Jewish lobby, and the police and CPS take much more interest (as the country folds…).
At the same time as the above-discussed cases, Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch) got 2.5 years (so will spend over a year in prison) for being rude about Jews etc on his Internet podcasts! The whole system is now mad. There was another recent case where someone got something like 6 years or more for supposedly having belonged to a banned organization, and also for having a copy (either in print or downloaded from the Internet) of the 1970s manual, The Anarchist’s Cookbook, which is now prohibited in the UK. Just mad.

Once again, a naive, no-doubt “bien-pensant” and Guardian-reading (probably quite comfortably-off and 60+) supporter of “Jack Monroe”, one “Margaret kennedy”, believes more or less what she wants to believe, i.e. that “Jack Monroe” sued Lee Anderson MP, even won the case, and is now suing him again.
In fact, of course, “Jack Monroe” never sued Lee Anderson, quite possibly never even intended to do so, but used the empty threat to garner helpful publicity in the msm and on Twitter etc, followed by what seems to have been a fraudulent crowdfunder, the proceeds of which “Jack Monroe” has quite plainly kept and/or spent on whatever she wants for herself. Neither is she now suing him. It’s all a scam (again), people…

Part-Jew talking head Paul Mason has apparently thrown away his absurd pseudo-socialist or anarcho-syndicalist “beliefs”, and simply become another NWO/ZOG drone. He now champions the finance-capitalist system, the banking system, and even the contrived war in Ukraine. Why he does so is uncertain. I think that maybe he sees himself as a Starmer-Labour MP, and then perhaps, not-far-down-the-line, as Chancellor, and maybe even PM. Why not? I mean, look at the deadheads of the past decade. I would not rule it out.
Look at the tweet below:

I agree, to the extent that this incompetent government has run out of road. Starmer-Labour is “popular” by default, because the misnamed “Conservatives” have given up. As for the electorate— desperate, and so clutching at straws; and if there was ever a “man of straw”, politically, it is Starmer.

The Russians are apparently killing Ukrainians in 7 to 1 ratio. My son fought there and told me about the artillery.

Ed Balls "it cant be the case Peters right about that. There must have been intelligence" #gmbpic.twitter.com/4zFSUgvsWL
The difference lies in the (probable) fact that Peter Tatchell actually still believes in the idea that the UK is “a society under law”, whereas Bilderberg-attendee and Jew-Zionist-lobby puppet, expenses cheat, and fraud, Ed Balls, a globalist System politician turned businessman and talking head, knows from his own experience in government that that is now largely not the case. Yes, the UK has laws (so do North Korea, China etc), but we are less and less the kind of society we used to be, a real “society under law”.
There are several reasons for that, including the malicious Jew-Zionist lobby, which abuses law for its own purposes, and the fact that the UK is less and less a nation, as against being a place where a collection of heterogeneous peoples and types live.
That remark of Balls shows the attitude clearly: “there must have been intelligence“, akin to “we do not make mistakes” (the old 1930s NKVD slogan). In other words, the intelligence trumps any civil or legal right.
I recall in the early/mid 1980s, when a Soviet ensemble came to London (and toured the provinces as well), that there was apparently going to be a demonstration by Jews protesting against the imprisonment of Shcharansky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natan_Sharansky].
The British impressario, and the Russians in charge of the dance group, were told by a sergeant from the Special Branch that the UK authorities were aware that, on the opening night in London, there would be a demonstration by Zionist Jews, but that it would be non-violent and would consist of several Jews rising from their seats (mostly prominent seats in the stalls, i.e. near the stage) and shouting “free Shcharansky!“.
That intelligence turned out to be entirely accurate. Whether Special Branch or the Security Service, MI5, had an agent inside the planning group of the demonstrators, or whether Zionist leaders had met with the UK authorities and then been (in effect) given permission to make the demonstration, on the basis that it would happen at the start of the performance, not be repeated, and not be violent, I do not know.
I cannot now recall the name of the ensemble. I think not the Bolshoi. It was, I think, an ad hoc collection of stars from several Soviet companies. Maybe the “Moscow Classical Ballet”.
I think that the Special Branch even knew in what row of seats almost all the demonstrators would stand up.
Shcharansky was in fact freed not very long after (though it must have seemed a long time from the perspective of a prisoner in a special-regime camp in the Urals), in 1986, in a swap involving several spies. He later became a minister of the Israeli state.
To my surprise, I see that the British impressario [https://ae.linkedin.com/in/peter-b-46459b151] is still rolling; he must be at least in his late seventies now. I believe that he almost went out of business at one time (in the 1980s), but seems to have bounced back irrepressibly. There are people like that.

I actually rode in one of them once, from Salisbury Plain to Central London. I think that it was the early Autumn of 1978. The driver was a friend of a friend, and we had all, with others, been on a 2-day parachute course.
I seem to recall that our journey to London was on a wet and windy Sunday, which might explain in part why the M4 was almost empty (actually, the motorways were not at all as crowded then, compared to today). Not the most direct route to London, but why that route was chosen, I have no idea (after about 45 years).
I remember the car rocking from side to side in the wind on the M4 (the Bug was a three-wheel car, inherently unstable at speed), and also recall the draught from the insecurely sealed plastic/rubber canopy. God knows what would have happened had we been hit by a real car, let alone a commercial truck. I have no doubt that the feeling of insecurity was well-founded. I do not think that either the driver or I myself wore seatbelts (mandatory seatbelt-wearing only came in in 1983), but I doubt that they would have made any difference. The Bond Bug would have been crushed like a beer can in any accident.
I see now from Wikipedia that the Bond Bug had a top speed of 76 mph (I think that we were travelling at about 60), and that only 2,270 were ever made. They are now collectors’ items, with some fetching around £6,000.
Travelling in the Bond Bug was almost as alarming as having to exit a plane at 2,500 ft.

Ha ha! I have blogged before about Novara Media’s ahistorical ignorance about the Russian Revolution, the 70+ years of “socialism” in the Soviet Union, and the several decades of socialism in Eastern and Central Europe.
I have also blogged about my own brief visit to the DDR (East Germany) in 1988; brief but eye-opening, as I was driven through the southern part of the country from Poland to West Germany over a couple of days.
I do not propose to repeat today what I have already written about my 1988 impressions, but in those days East and West Germany were very very different, like an apple next to an orange. Take the autobahn I travelled from Gorlitz on the post-1945 border with what is now Poland to the West German border. That autobahn was either the same as when created in the 1930s by the then National Socialist government, or a poor copy of such autobahnen. In West Germany, though, beautiful autobahnen, with smooth surfacing, proper signage etc (and an absence of the cobbles to which sections of the East German one had been reduced).
It is true that the East Germans tried to make socialism work, whereas the Poles more or less said “yes repeat no“, and carried on a parallel society underneath the official one.
Not that East Germany was completely rotten, but much of it was.
Having said that, West Germany had its own problems. Decadence. Complacency.
As for the reunified Germany, I could see when I was last there (about 20 years ago) that there had been a fall in many ways compared to when it was West Germany— rather untidy cities and towns, crowded autobahnen, and a very obvious non-European infestation in Munich and elsewhere. God knows what it must be like today.

The taxpayer-funded document included references to The Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent, 1984 by George Orwell and the poems of GK Chesterton. It also referenced films including The Bridge On The River Kwai, The Great Escape and Zulu.
Works by some of the world’s greatest writers were included as examples of warning signs of potential extremism, including Shakespeare, Chaucer, Milton, Tennyson, Kipling and Edmund Burke.

The report even highlighted the BBC’s 1990s political thriller House Of Cards, John le Carre’s seminal spy trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Sharpe, the ITV drama set in the Napoleonic wars.
Inexplicably, it said the BBC’s Great British Railway Journeys, presented by former Conservative minister Michael Portillo, was of interest to the far-Right.
Historian and broadcaster Andrew Roberts said: ‘This is truly extraordinary. This is the reading list of anyone who wants a civilised, liberal, cultured education.
Author Douglas Murray obtained the full list and discovered that one of his books had been given a red flag by Prevent.
Mr Murray wrote in The Spectator magazine: ‘A number of books are singled out, the possession or reading of which could point to severe wrongthink and therefore potential radicalisation… It seems that RICU is so far off-track that it believes that books identifying the problem that it was itself set up to tackle are in fact a part of the problem.’ He concluded that RICU’s work was ‘pathetic’ and called for ‘accountability’ for its errors and ‘sackings by the score’.
The list has emerged following a major review into the Prevent scheme by William Shawcross.
His report, published earlier this month, exposed serious failings in Prevent, warning that it applies a ‘double standard’ to Islamist and far-Right threats. The £49million-a-year scheme had prioritised countering far-Right activity above tackling the prime Islamist threat, it added.
The report said Prevent had scrutinised Right-wing material which ‘falls well short of the extremism threshold altogether’.“

I should be prepared to bet that the mix of staff at “Prevent” includes dim types harvested from police and military “intelligence” rejects or retirees, probably quite a few embittered Asians or half-castes of the Neil Basu type and, very likely, Jews.
In fact, I should also be surprised were the Jew-Zionist element not very prominent or influential in all this, whether directly employed by “Prevent” or not. The notorious Jew-Zionist snoop organizations etc.
My blog post about this “Prevent” nonsense was written almost 5 years ago. Looks like I have been proven right again, if I say so myself…
A few cartoons which cover parts of the problem(s).
“Earlier this month, a migrant from Moldova who had arrived in Ireland in September was charged with sexually assaulting a girl in Ballymun, another working-class area of Dublin. At his bail hearing, the court heard he had suffered head injuries after being confronted by up to 40 ‘vigilantes’ before police arrived to arrest him.”
[Daily Mail]
In the immortal line of Windsor Davies, “oh dear…how sad…never mind...”
“Last month, there were two ugly incidents in Finglas, a working-class district of the city, after rumours spread on social media that a local girl had been raped by a man who had recently arrived in the country.
An angry mob of about 200 surrounded a police station where the suspect was allegedly being held, with a ringleader telling the crowd: ‘The only way to f*****g deal with these c***s is burn them out of the f*****g place.‘”
[Daily Mail]
“Byzantine planning laws mean that only about 25,000 homes are being built each year, and around 11,500 Irish people are classified as homeless.
One of them, George Sturdy, whom I met on a protest march in Dublin this week, told how he was living in a shared hotel room rented by the government, having been evicted from a static caravan.
‘I’ve been on a waiting list for a council home for six years, and know people who have been waiting for almost 20 years. There’s a crisis with homes for Irish people, and you see them throwing open doors. What do you expect people like me to think?’“
[Daily Mail]
The conspiracy is transnational, and operates in Ireland, in the UK, in Germany, and all over Europe. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Google it.
“Sutherland strongly advocated unrestricted immigration into the EU… multiculturalism is both inevitable and desirable…”the European Union, in my view, should be doing its best to undermine” any “sense of our homogeneity and difference from others...”
As I said, a truly major conspirator and enemy of Europe’s future.
Sutherland, totally tied-in with the transnational conspiracy (UN, WEF, GATT, WTO, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission etc), tweeted a couple of times against me when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018), but he died not long after that.
I usually say “de mortuis nihil nisi bonum” (“Of the dead, [say] nothing if not good“), but in his case, and the case of any like him, good riddance.
[“Get down there where you wanted to send me, you unclean spirit!“]
Part of the reason is simply that there are relatively few “working-class” jobs now. As blogged previously, in the UK, the old “proletariat” has been replaced —to a large extent— by both the “precariat” (people in unstable, shifting employment, and with periods of unemployment), and/or by a contemporary form of “lumpenproletariat” (the raceless, cultureless masses whose world revolves around trash TV, trash “music”, “selfies”, drugs, drink, cars, and State benefits).
Some of what Monbiot sometimes says is sometimes right, but here we see his ingrained, genetically-determined (?) Jewish urbanism outweigh his learned environmentalism, arguably.
Monbiot is in fact only half-Jewish.
Not that I (as supposed “far right” “extremist”) am on the side of farmers at all times, right or wrong. Far too many (in the UK) are just greedy grabbers and/or freeloaders (taking endless subsidies or other State payments).
However, there is (as in the Netherlands) a push now by sinister forces to destroy the countryside for entirely spurious environmental reasons; in reality, just another aspect of the attack by alien forces on the white Northern European people (yet another aspect being the push to get blacks and browns visiting the countryside and/or relocating from cities to rural areas).
The same people who cry everyday about losing Freedom of Movement in the EU are totally cool with being locked in their little zone of the 15 minute city.
Reading that, though, and seeing the reference to Arsene Wenger (a football manager), it once again strikes me how odd it is that (soccer) football has become the sine qua non for the UK middle classes.
It started in the 1990s, I think, maybe in the Blair years of the late 1990s. Now it is ubiquitous. Every politician has to at least pretend to “support” a football team, and you see both men and women, even professional men and women, not only “supporting” some team or other, but (apparently) genuinely and indeed passionately so.
It makes me wonder whether it is a substitute for ideas, ideology, or political partisanship, now that all the System parties are almost identical in policy terms and personnel, and now that any other ideological position apart from “mainstream” LibLabCon is deemed “extreme” (and probably “antisemitic”).
My big weekend read for @HuffPostUK : Alarm is spreading over the tight grip Keir Starmer's office has over the selection of Labour's general election candidateshttps://t.co/pfDr1MQwGp
It makes me laugh that scribblers and MPs write much about the almost meaningless “right/left” labels, and occasionally about “antisemitism” (always from the viewpoint that it is, supposedly, “bad”), but rarely directly about the Jewish influence that now more than influences (put shortly, controls) the two main System parties.
I know what I would like to do to most of the MPs of both main System parties, and it would not be to vote for them.
NEW polling in Ukraine 🇺🇦 on the circumstances in which Ukrainians would support a ceasefire.
Key point: 80% of Ukrainians find a ceasefire in which Russia keeps a presence in the Crimea unacceptable.
Well, there it is. In this case political power certainly does come out of the barrel of a gun…
Not that the matter will ever be put to the actual Ukrainian people (beyond opinion polling). The regime of the Jew dictator Zelensky has shut down opposition parties, arrested the leaders and supporters of the same, and also banned trade unions and other organizations. His government may be, and is, a shambolic, kleptocratic mess, but when it comes to repressing political dissent it is efficient enough.
Fantastic story of "bike shedding": how corporate decision-makers focus on trivial issues, that they know lots about, rather than more important but complex issues issues
That of course is the problem faced by political leaders of any kind. They cannot be expert in all the fields over which their imprimatur is decisive, so it comes down to which “experts” or “specialists” they trust, unless their decisions are to be completely arbitrary in nature.
A political leader must inevitably always be a generalist, though he (or she) may be expert in one or two fields (eg Margaret Thatcher, a chemist who was also a tax barrister). However, what about all the other areas of policy, such as education, railways, military hardware, grand strategy, waste disposal and the general environment, intelligence and security etc?
You see all of that in the decisions of Adolf Hitler, among many others.
Hitler was, or became, fairly expert in some areas of military policy and strategy, and also knew much about art, architecture, and more academic fields such as history, religion and philosophy. In some other areas of policy or knowledge, he knew not much, yet had to decide upon them, a problem made worse by the structural constraints of the National Socialist state, meaning fuhrerprinzip or autocracy. The leader had to decide.
These factors affect the UK as well, for example at present. We have people who are pretty ignorant at the top (e.g. the recent Prime Ministers), and yet they have to decide high policy affecting diverse matters such as foreign policy, military and NHS procurement, law and order, freedom of expression, intelligence and security, transport etc.
There is no one answer, but having MPs, ministers, and prime ministers who are not such stupid deadheads as “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng), Therese Coffey etc would help.
Incredible, even in an age of lazy and/or ignorant journalism. Has Guardian scribbler Gaby Hinsliff thought to examine the sheer volume of mendacious invention built into the “Jack Monroe” “backstory” and fundraising? Evidently not, even though numerous really poverty-stricken people have been fleeced by the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”.
Which continues. As of today, 502 utter mugs each continue to send “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 a month, every month, via the Patreon website…
Jack Monroe has already settled on 'what's everyone's favourite pen?' but unearned patreon pay day is ages away?!!! https://t.co/KlCKPVbRW7

I wonder when “climate journo” Vetter last took a European city break trip, or perchance even a long-haul holiday to Africa or East Asia? In the world of “climate change” activism, as with the “refugees welcome” types, hypocrisy usually rules supreme.
I don't know why everyone applauds whenever this scrotum-faced pillock appears on television and declares himself a totally ignorant, moral vacuum. He's got every single thing wrong about the past three years and caused massive harm and suffering.
Society would be better off if every one of those interviewees ceased to exist.
If you still think you can vote your way out of a political revolution of this sort, or dislodge the regime’s agenda by asking politely, you have some very difficult and confusing years ahead of you. https://t.co/o8vJAS0NOo
The Jews have been screeching about Roald Dahl for years, mainly because he recognized what Jews are like even while (in my view wrongly) saying also that Adolf Hitler was “a stinker” (Dahl also said that he was right about the Jews and their behaviour).
I doubt, though, that Toby Young’s “Free Speech Union” will mention the fact that the Jews are behind the attack on Roald Dahl. The “FSU” has never said a word to protest expressly against the Jew-Zionist attacks on free speech in the UK and elsewhere; neither has it said a word in defence of those persecuted by Jew-Zionist orgs which have persistently made false accusations to Twitter, Facebook, employers, professional and regulatory organizations, police etc; see my own experience (of several), dating back about 18 months: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/.
Radek Sikorski has an unusual background. Granted asylum while a student in the UK in 1982, he went to Oxford (how?) and, despite lack of personal or family wealth, somehow became a member of the wealthy yob society, the Bullingdon, along with part-Jews “Boris” Johnson and David Cameron-Levita. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rados%C5%82aw_Sikorski.
[According to David Dimbleby, until Cameron-Levita and Johnson joined, the Bullingdon had been “a club for young gentlemen“, which however was then perverted by the pair mentioned].
Was Sikorski helped to get on terms with young aspirants to the “British Establishment”? If so, by whom— and why?
Was Sikorski spotted as a talented young Pole who might be able, down the line, to advance a Westernizing agenda in Poland, as a wedge into the then-monolithic-seeming Soviet imperium? I wonder.
After graduation from Oxford, Sikorski was soon writing for major publications in the UK, such as the Daily Telegraph and the Spectator. He was also working as a freelance foreign correspondent in places such as Afghanistan.
Sikorski is married to Anne Applebaum [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Applebaum], the well-known American Jewish writer and analyst who was apparently so struck by my tweets when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of malicious Jews had me chucked off in 2018) that she blocked me (for no obvious reason that I can recall).
I have a couple of her books.
A couple completely tied in to the NWO agenda, it seems.
He’s really asking for it. Poland was not a passive victim in 1939. There had been years of abuse before that, directed at Germany and at the German population trapped in the Polish Corridor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Corridor]. Now Sikorski, like the Polish officials of the 1930s, attempts to stoke tensions, this time mainly with Russia. Not a very clever move.
Keir Starmer, the Jewish lobby puppet now leading the Labour Party, wanted a perfectly stage-managed “Conference” (show or Schauspiel) for the msm to relay to a bemused public. Barring a couple of hiccups such as the above (a fixed non-vote), he got what he wanted.
In fact, the public only see, and only want to see, a few seconds on the TV news anyway.
Starmer need not worry. Most British people are content, at least so far, to be bamboozled by a mainly Jewish-manipulated binary choice between equally-fake “Conservative” and “Labour” (with the odd “dustbin” alternative as necessary, the LibDems).
The Liz Truss government was doomed from its inception, and Starmer thinks, with some justification, that all he need do now is wait.
Some people, rightly or not, have questioned Alison’s judgment, but none can question her courage.

Who would have thought that all those times Boris Johnson was being hailed as the worst Prime Minister this country has ever had, Liz Truss was waiting in the wings thinking: “Hold my beer…”
When I said Liz Truss was going to be the 4th consecutive PM to claim the "worst PM in UK History" title, I never expected she be able to claim it within a month in office. It took Cameron 6 years, Theresa May 11 months, Boris Johnson 10 months. Truly amazing.

Tory MP: "the party has been possessed by some sort of evangelical zeal. It defies all scientific and economic logic – it's utterly humiliating."
Tory MP: "I thought Boris Johnson's Cabinet the worst in history. That one's just beaten it."
Interesting “moral maze” point. “Boris”-idiot was behaving with disgusting and petty intent; Kwarteng is a woolly-headed n****r who knows no better, arguende.
Having said that, Kwarteng’s negligence or sheer stupidity (assuming that this is not all part of the overall conspiracy) will have far worse effects on the UK.
The only advantage of Boris Johnson’s pathological narcissism was that it subordinated political ideology. You can’t say that about Truss and Kwarteng. These people really believe what they’re doing and they’re going to keep doing it. In the end, that’s what’s fucking terrifying. pic.twitter.com/5P44QMl2e9
I am getting excited. If a social-national party can emerge, credible and with ideologically correct and firm leadership, it might find a ready audience —at last, at long last— in a Britain completely blasted by fake “liberal democracy”. Everything could change almost overnight.
As Lenin said, “worse will be better”.
Never forget that, as late as 1928, the NSDAP was getting a national vote of only 2.6%, and that year had elected only 12 members of the Reichstag, out of 491.
I myself also recall my visits to Eastern Europe in the late 1980s (mainly 1988 and 1989). In 1988, those states were potentially unstable, but still apparently securely fixed in terms of who was in power. By late 1989, they had all collapsed, politically and, indeed, socially.
True, but such comparisons do not butter any parsnips, in the North British saying.
Lots of commentators on here currently hurling themselves about over the 'insanity' of economic policy.
All the same people who endorsed shutting down the economy for 2 years, destroying small businesses and paying millions to stay off work because known liars cried 'pandemic'.
What a time to have an international crisis of the present magnitude. The leader of the USA and, in effect, NATO and/or the Western world, is at least half-demented, the Prime Minister of the UK is a stupid and ignorant woman completely out of her depth, and the leader of Russia is being painted into a corner and is frankly unpredictable.
Huge numbers of people, including many Jews, and even Zionist Jews, oppose the proposed “memorial” (oft-called, “carbuncle”) near the Palace of Westminster, which has been pushed through by hard-core Zionists, and by corrupt political puppets such as Robert Jenrick.
I have now seen a open letter by a Jewish woman about the matter. It is worth publishing in full:
“From Irene Lancaster
High Court Approves Legal Challenge to Government re Holocaust memorial in Victoria Tower Gardens
Late on Friday afternoon the English High Court granted permission to appeal the Government decision to build the Holocaust Memorial in Victoria Tower Gardens, Westminster, London.
I was originally invited by Government to take part in the planning design consultation, so let me just say that the proposers of this idea have behaved all along like bullies.
Moreover, a very large part of the Zoom Planning Enquiry was taken up by counsel for the Government quashing dissent by accusing experts of being anti-Semitic. I myself received an unacceptable letter from the relevant Civil Servant, whom I had earlier been asked to host in my own home to offer expert advice on how to tackle the burgeoning antisemitism in the UK.
So, they don’t mind using our brains and expertise when it suits – and then they discard us like so much flotsam and jetsam (it has been ever so, of course, as far as we Jews are concerned) when we have served our purpose.
As somebody involved at the very start of this disgraceful affair, may I further say that this enterprise was never to do with safeguarding the UK Jewish community (as we were told), or even about properly remembering the Holocaust. This was about a whole load of bullies sacrilegiously using the concept of the Shoah for their own ends.
Instead of taking a stand against this obvious miscarriage of justice at the outset, what did the contemporary Church leadership do?
They disregarded the pleas of their own Area Dean of Westminster, where local school children make use the park’s playground. They ignored the written and verbal warnings of their former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Lord Rowan Williams. They ignored the Father of the House of Commons. They contemptuously ridiculed distinguished Jewish peers with family links to the Holocaust who have served this country with great devotion. They ignored ordinary people on the ground. They ignored every significant Holocaust historian in the country. They ignored seasoned Holocaust educators. They ignored Sir Richard Evans, expert witness in the David Irving case against Professor Deborah Lipstadt .
The usually voluble British Press stayed silent – I am thinking particularly of the Guardian and the Times – hardly any discussion was permitted in their pages. Where were the Green Parties and leading environmental groups all over the world – and why did that arch anti-Semite, Jeremy Corbyn, support this scheme with alacrity ?
Why at the Zoom Planning Enquiry did the Planning Inspector constantly refer to ‘racism’ rather than ‘antisemitism’, and why did he have an argument on the issue with this country’s longest standing Holocaust educator, yet allow counsel for the Government to accuse dissenters and experts of antisemitism, resulting in these experts having to water down their well-thought out assessments?
Once the facts are all known, it becomes increasingly evident that to have even considered this type of monstrous carbuncle for a tiny heritage space is akin to suggesting a memorial to the Ku Klux Klan on behalf of the black community of North America. It is to spit in the faces of the Jewish community – it is the theology of contempt.
Those in favour of this proposal have a death wish towards the Jewish community. Those brave people who opposed the scheme are the true supporters of Jewish values shockingly destroyed in the Holocaust and which the State of Israel for one is trying to build up again from the ashes. And on this note, I have just this minute heard from one of the 115 Jewish signatories to our letter opposing this memorial, published in the Jewish Chronicle on August 31st. Professor Richard Schwartz has just been recognized by the State of Israel as one of that country’s leading climate crisis experts. Yes, Professor Richard Schwartz, the USA’s foremost Jewish environmental expert, now living in Israel, signed our letter of dissent. Why did others not do so and prefer instead to stay silent, as so many others did during the Holocaust?
https://www.israel21c.org/20-israelis-leading-the-way…/And please note that this press release has been delayed by one day in order to honour the Jewish Shabbat. This is in contrast to the proponents of this scheme who have made it clear that they don’t honour anyone or anything other than themselves.

When I was younger, it seemed almost unsophisticated, intellectually, to think in terms of international conspiracy; now, I realize that there is such a conspiracy (a linked series of conspiracies), even though it may not control “everything” (as some people tend to think), and even though many of those who are part of it may think of it as a “consensus” rather than as a “conspiracy”.
To add to David Dimbleby’s parting remarks on Referendum Night, “the people have spoken…and we’re out…” (and so, having confounded the System, the people will not be allowed to speak in future…).
1. Did You Know That There Are At Least 2,232 UK Members Of The World Economic Forum In UK Universities And That The Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation Has Donated $1.45 Billion To These Universities
People of the future will wonder and puzzle about how it was that really rather ordinary people such as Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, Jeff Bezos etc were able to accumulate such money and, indeed, power.
