Saturday quiz

Well, this week a fairly poor 4/10, (or 4.5/10 if using the scoring of of political journalist John Rentoul, who awarded himself “2.5/10”). Like John Rentoul, I knew or guessed (the obvious) half of question 6, also knew both questions 4 and 8 and, in my case, also knew the answers to questions 2 and 5.

Typical. The vast monies effectively gifted to the Arabs (all the Arab oil states, not just the Saudis) by the West (whose people discovered the oil —and gas— and drilled for it, refined it, provided the markets for it, and shipped it) have been mainly wasted.

Look at Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait etc. Bearing in mind the money poured in, pitiful: poorly-designed and laid out, and with political and legal structures which are largely still in the 8th Century; and that is before you even look at their backward religious tendencies.

[“According to Polish Prime Minister Tusk, Ukraine’s losses have recently amounted to approximately 27,000 casualties (killed and wounded) per month.
He stated that these losses are record-breaking due to new Russian technologies.
He noted that if this trend continues, the winter will be “catastrophic” for Ukraine.

A thought out of season

I have been trying to avoid the seemingly endless recent msm coverage of whether the present King did or did not make a dismissive comment to Princess Diana’s brother, the present Earl Spencer, about the Prince’s then recently ex-wife in 1997.

The same goes for the similar blanket coverage of the return of the prodigal waste of space (the Harry formerly known as Prince) and Meghan Mulatta.

It occurs to me how typical all that hullabaloo is of Britain today, a country that is always looking back, not forward.

I myself have no interest at all in whether the then Prince Charles did or did not make the comment complained of. Likewise, I have no interest in whether or not “Harry”, Meghan Mulatta, and their offspring relocate to Sussex or anywhere else.

At the other end of the social scale, we have seen, again quite recently, the football stadium incident, Hillsborough, still making political news 37 years after it happened!

Britain once looked forward, but now mainly looks back, and mainly looks at very minor events or incidents (in the big scheme of things), or looks back with rose-tinted or blurred glasses.

The reason is obvious— Britain, unless it changes radically very very soon, has no future, at least not one any white Northern European wishes to live in.

[“Pentagon Warning to Allies: Shortage of Interceptor Missiles to Last Up to 5 Years Bloomberg:

The United States has informed its allies that the supply of interceptor missiles will be delayed for 5 years, as Washington replenishes depleted weapons stockpiles after their extensive use in the war against Iran.

Germany and Eastern European countries are facing delays in receiving weapons, while Ukraine’s requests for Patriot systems are being affected by U.S. efforts to replenish its own stockpiles.”]

Britain should leave NATO, and cultivate closer relations with Russia. This is not 1939. Britain would be irredeemably devastated, irradiated, poisoned, and finished off should even one or two of Russia’s 7,000 nuclear weapons hit our little islands.

If I wuz a rich man…”…

I blogged about loonie New Zealand woman “Rachel from Piddington” yesterday. A white woman with black “partner” and mixed-race children who thinks that any danger to herself and the 350 other villagers of Piddington (Oxfordshire) emanates from English protesters (mostly her fellow-villagers) and not from the (up to) 3,500 black and brown migrant invaders from the most backward parts of the world, invaders who are soon going to be dumped very near that village.

(BBC and officialdom claims “only” 1,250 invaders will be dumped there, but that is probably a lie; 3,500 has also been mentioned).

This is what we mean by “migration invasion”.

[“The thing you have to remember about Third Worldism is that it is not confined to a particular race, religion or class. My critique, which is now totally mainstream and has spread like wildfire, is all-encompassing.

There are plenty of White Third Worlders from white-majority countries like Romania and Albania. There are White Third Worlders who are native Brits, like the idiot NGO blobocrats in Piddington, or Gypsy and Traveller groups who indulge in crime and clan-based violence. There are also non-White people from the Indian subcontinent who are fleeing their countries to escape Third Worldism. I respect these people and have no beef with them.

The Third Worldist critique will obviously involve visa bans from Third World countries, but it will also involve a recognition that this tendency is not confined to a particular race or religion. The key is very draconian laws to prevent such people from entering our society.

What about White Third Worlders? Well, punish them. I have zero solidarity with these people despite them sharing an ethnic heritage with me.”]

As the tweeter implies, Gypsies from mainland Europe (eg Roma from Romania) are not themselves white or European, being originally of Indian origin. Real Romanians despise them, and even the socialist government there from the late 1940s to 1989 found it impossible to get them to live decently.

Incidentally, I still see newspapers in the UK referring to the many Roma Gypsies committing every type of crime in the UK as “Romanian“, just because they have Romanian passports, which is a terrible slur on the real Romanians.

Britain 2026

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16144141/Illegal-migrant-Deliveroo-rider-raped-woman-dragged-street.html

An illegal migrant Deliveroo rider who dragged a woman off the street ‘like a ragdoll’ before raping her has been jailed for 21 years.

Following the vicious assault, which left his victim feeling ‘destroyed’, Salem Rekoub, 28, was caught on CCTV wearing his turquoise uniform and smirking as he followed her ambulance to hospital, because he wanted to ‘get to the woman again’.

Rekoub, who was dubbed a public danger by the judge, arrived in Britain on a tourist visa in 2023. He did not have the right to work in the UK.”

The bastard should be put up against a wall. In public. Wall. Squad. End.

As with so many cases of the sort, the victim was intoxicated in public, incapable by reason of drink.

Perhaps “Rachel from Piddington” would like to read that report. That is just one migrant-invader bastard. 3,500 others may soon be living alongside her village. If she is OK with that, she really is loonie, even by the standards of so many New Zealand women.

Incidentally, the vlog post below was just sent to me by a blog reader. It echoes, in part, what I wrote on the blog a day or so ago:

The “looming threat” of war comes entirely from the “Western” (NWO/ZOG) side. Russia is reacting to “Western” aggression, in particular the arming and funding of the corrupt Zelensky Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug dictatorship in Kiev. In the well-worn phrase, “don’t poke the Bear“…

Goodwin is right to say “who will fight for Britain?“, meaning for the present decadent set-up in the UK. Obviously not the blacks and browns. Obviously not the Muslim element. Obviously not the Jewish element. That leaves real British men (women are still rarely on or near the front-line, if that term still means anything in an age of hypersonic nuclear missiles).

Why should British men fight for what Britain is becoming, a society that demonizes them for being white European (and even male)?

There is also the point that many of the younger Brits have been brainwashed at state schools and even fee-paying schools with what amounts to anti-British propaganda, “Black Lives Matter” rubbish etc. They have been told that there is little to be proud of in British history, except the war against the German Reich (ironically, one of the most negative aspects of our national history).

London’s 2026 “diversity”

https://www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-news/hackney-man-avoids-jail-after-34590194

[“Hackney man” (in reality a North African migrant-invader)]

A Hackney man who sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl outside Liverpool Street station has avoided jail. Sofiane Belasri, 41, attacked the 16-year-old while she was sitting on some steps outside the station in July 2024.

Detective Inspector Matthew Alexander, of the Public Protection Unit at the City of London Police, said that police are “reviewing the sentence handed down by the court.”

Quite a contrast to the Kiev regime of the Jew Zelensky.

In Kiev-regime Ukraine, men are abducted by press-gangs of military thugs, and are dragged off the streets into vehicles, then driven away to almost-certain death on the crumbling front lines. The Kiev regime is losing 500-2,000 men daily.

Hard to believe that that weird individual, who basically has nothing of interest to say anyway, is always on TV, in the Press etc.

In the end, the msm is a system set up to reinforce the overall ZOG/NWO set-up, so it suits their purposes to have pointless “commentators” such as Tim Montgomerie around, or on call.

Just listen to the content-free shite that that Montgomerie weirdo pumps out, e.g. in the clip above. Not just actually wrong, as in inaccurate, but totally ridiculous.

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

Ha ha! The Express has not been a real newspaper for several decades, but this latest nonsense really takes the cake. I can only assume that it refers to former soldiers willing to do rear-echelon duties here and there as some kind of civilian or Reserves auxiliary force.

The “prepare for war with Russia” stuff being retailed by the Mail and Express (etc) would be funny, were it not pathetic.

[“Tariq Ali
Today, I sent a bank payment to a French painter whose work I admire. It was for a stunning abstract. He got a call:

‘Just now I received a phone call from my bank saying that they can not accept your money transfer… I asked why ? And they say because of your « opinions »… So I asked them to write down this on an Email… And they accepted the transfer.’

My opinions can only mean those on one subject: Palestine. Why is Europe going down this road to such an extent? Perhaps the caller from the bank was acting individually and read a text of mine he/she hated. In that case why make the phone call?
Another friend , but in London, hearing the story remarked: ‘Lloyd Bank denied the mother of a Palestine Action prisoner a mortgage on account of her daughter’s arrest’
Is every bank behaving like this? Why no boycott of Lloyds. Bigotry before profits? Amazing.”
]

“De-banking” has become a System weapon of choice. George Galloway suffered similarly, as have, in recent years, Nigel Farage, and Sam Melia, Laura Towler-Melia, and Mark Collett (all of Patriotic Alternative). I think that Nick Griffin of the BNP also had problems at one time. The individuals in banks that make such (often arbitrary and, of course, “woke”) decisions should be both identified and punished.

Not that I have any time for Tariq Ali, the pseudo-revolutionary plastic Marxist from a wealthy and exploitative Pakistani landowning family who was a well-known “activist” in the late 1960s and early/mid 1970s. I thought he must have died years ago, but apparently not (now 82): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariq_Ali.

Seems that Tariq Ali still has enough money invested to collect art that he likes. He’s just a complete fake, as far as I am concerned.

Zelensky mocks those who have given him untold millions. Not only the Americans, but the taxpayers of the UK and EU.

Take away his ricebowl before he can trigger a really major war (in which the unfortunate citizens of Kiev might be the first to perish, along with Zelensky himself, if he has not by then fled to Florida or Israel).

I might not much like Arabs, in general, let alone Islamists, but what the Jews (of Israel, but supported by others, in other countries, including the UK) have done in Gaza is just evil, and it still continues.

The West is doomed if it continues on its present path: pushing for conflict —and even nuclear war— with Russia, importing the racially and culturally backward into Europe (etc), not far from suffering demographic collapse, not far from suffering actual famine a decade or two down the line, and its higher culture being poisoned.

NWO/ZOG puppets such as Wes Streeting (Labour Friends of Israel) are just going through the motions of “1939-ism”— flashlights/torches on the bookcase, a stock of tinned food in case the “ration” is insufficient, etc etc. It’s all what people now call “gaslighting”. The enemy is not Russia (except that the Bear is being poked and poked to make it take on the role of enemy).

The real enemy is in Westminster, in the London TV studios, in the newspaper offices, in some of the universities, in the more influential Masonic lodges etc. Also, of course, in the [REDACTED]…

Voting will have little effect. Even voting for Reform or Restore, though obviously that is better than voting LibLabCon.

We are slowly, perhaps not so slowly, approaching a civil and social war situation in this country.

Has he only just noticed? That has been so for at least 25 years. Arron Banks should visit some of the Westminster-area departments of the Home Office.

Ironic.

Greedy, stupid, petty. Just the sort of individuals who become, all too often, MPs or officials for one of the System parties.

Talking point

As we are told, the new disease appeared in China toward the end of 2019, hence the name COVID‑19, short for Corona Virus Disease 2019, but data pulled from the World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS) database reveals something absolutely astonishing: back in 2017 and 2018, two full years before the virus was ever said to exist, hundreds of millions of test kits labelled specifically for COVID‑19 were already being shipped and distributed worldwide.

Death of a nobody

https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2026/sep/01/hrh-helch-the-graffiti-artist-who-left-an-indelible-mark-on-high-rise-britain

Why does it not surprise me that a disgusting vandal, a graffiti “artist”, who has died at 34 of causes not as yet made public (my two main guesses being either from drug overdose, or from suicide because the said “artist” vandal realized that, despite daubing his chosen name everywhere —I see that his real name was something else— he was a nobody) is eulogized by a Jewish scribbler in the Guardian?

As a matter of fact, I myself have never seen his graffiti anywhere.

Graffiti has been around a long time. There are examples from the times of the Romans, and even the ancient Egyptians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti. The degree to which it has been tolerated, historically, is a matter of dispute.

The fact is that modern graffiti can only be described as criminal visual violence, a fact implied by the Guardian’s Jewish scribbler, when, at the end of his little piece, he expresses his liking for the fact that it costs people much money to remove the meaningless scrawls (passing as art, at least to cretins).

The graffiti vandal is seeking to impose his assumed name on the public, to be therefore somehow “known”, a well-known “somebody”. In the end, though, most graffiti “art” is the realm of the untalented, the nobodies.

See also: https://metro.co.uk/2026/08/30/mysterious-graffiti-legend-helch-upset-queen-elizabeth-dies-29495835/ (another scribbler apparently impressed by both the deceased and the graffiti “community”).

Incidentally, while I do usually abide by the Latin maxim de mortuis nihil nisi bonum (“of the dead, nothing but good“), there are —and have to be— exceptions.

The mainstream media outlets are suffused with decadence. They should be purged.

When mainstream people with a platform start promoting the decadent and/or evil, society is sliding (as happened in Russia before the Revolution, incidentally). It has been ever more obvious post-1945 that that is the way America, Britain, indeed the West generally, has been going (and much of the world has followed suit).

[“The now-famous photograph of an SAS operator on January 15, 2019. A single member of the UK’s 22 SAS Regiment moving to respond to a terrorist attack on the DusitD2 Hotel complex in Nairobi, Kenya.

He was in the country teaching foreign internal defense to Kenyan special forces when al-Shabaab attackers hit the complex, grenades first, then a suicide vest, then gunfire on the guests inside. There was no time to form a proper team and nothing more than the kit he was already wearing.

He entered the compound alone, balaclava on, a shield badge identifying him as law enforcement to those he passed. He joined Dan Prastalo, a Slovenian with the diplomatic protective services, and the two of them started clearing the office block and car-park buildings floor by floor while the attack was still underway.

The siege lasted more than 12 hours before Kenyan forces declared the site secure. 21 civilians died. For what he did that day he later received the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross, Britain’s second highest award for gallantry in action. Unusually for a serving SAS soldier, his name eventually became public: Christian Craighead.

One man, on his own, in another country, with no order sending him in and every reason to stay out. He went in anyway.

The right stuff…

What goes around comes around. It is basic. If the malicious idiots posing as political leaders in France, the UK, Germany etc keep hitting Russia, using the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev as proxy then, sooner or later, Russia will hit back, either directly or indirectly.

Why is that apparently so hard for some people to understand?

Germany should regard the Leipzig-Halle Airport attack as a kind of “Gypsy’s warning”.

[“Iran has not yet revealed its full military potential.

According to available information, Iran’s military arsenals already include tactical nuclear warheads, and these are not newly developed models. It is claimed that the corresponding systems were developed and produced much earlier.

Iran also possesses particularly powerful non-nuclear missile warheads. One such system has unofficially been dubbed the “Resurrection Bomb.” Its warhead weighs approximately four tons and has a high destructive power.

Previously, the adversary, it is claimed, obtained intelligence about the alleged location of tactical nuclear warheads and struck the corresponding facility. However, the information provided turned out to be incorrect, and the alleged storage facility was not hit.

According to these reports, tactical nuclear warheads are present in significant quantities and are integrated into the country’s existing missile capabilities.

Therefore, the current exchange of missile strikes is seen as only a limited portion of the available capabilities. The main potential may be used in the event of an immediate threat to the existence of the state.

In such a scenario, according to the available data, Iran possesses both particularly powerful missile systems and tactical nuclear warheads. That is why, when it is said that Iran has not yet used its full military potential, this should be taken literally.“]

He clarified: Units of our Central Group are advancing in various key areas and are conducting street fighting in Dobropolye, an important logistical hub. We have also reached the eastern suburbs of Slaviansk and Kramatorsk, and the southern suburbs of Druzhkovka. Our army is only 12 kilometers from the bypass road around the city of Sumy and is creating a security zone in the border areas of the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.

“Moscow wants to achieve a lasting, absolute peace. We will not freeze the war; we want to end it.“]

Britain should leave NATO, regain independent control of its nuclear deterrent force, get cost-price gas from Russia, find a massive new market for British goods and services in the Russian and Russophone space, and cultivate far closer relations with Russia and the Russian people.

Interesting vlog featuring Siberia

Another “Matt and Julia” vlog post. This time they fly from Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) to Novosibirsk, and then to Kemerovo, where Julia was born.

I was interested to see how nice, relatively uncrowded, and how up-to-date, were the airports. Novosibirsk Airport was especially impressive.

As to Kemerovo in snow, slush, and minus-degree temperatures, it looked pretty bleak to me. One thing that surprised me, and that I had noticed on some of their other vlog posts, is how far the couple are prepared to walk, when many (including me) would have preferred to go by car. They set off (not even wearing gloves) from the home of Julia’s relatives to central Kemerovo, striding purposefully through the snow in what looks like a vast snowbound urban landscape. They seem to be walking for miles.

Worth seeing, despite the relatively superficial commentary.

Good luck to all grouse today. As people now say, “stay safe”.

On the blog 3 years ago

How time flies— there is my blog post from 3 years ago today, and that dates from three months before my free speech trial of November 2023. Nearly three years ago. Hard to believe. Still, nice to reflect on the fact that the malicious Jews of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] failed to shut down the blog, even during the trial itself. It has been published almost daily since the trial and sentencing (of March 2024), and is still being published at least 25 days per month.

I was blogging about that months ago. Action causes reaction. Many effectively Russian ships fly flags of convenience. So do many effectively British ships, and the same applies across the world. This is the 21st Century, yet we are now seeing state piracy on behalf of the Kiev regime. Do not think that Russia cannot respond.

The madness should be stopped but, with the ruling circles in the West set on conflict with Russia, the situation may well escalate.

True, but —as with the Ukraine situation— this is also partly an excuse to make people forget that the disastrous and utterly stupid (but on one level, planned) “Covid” “lockdown” immediately placed the UK economy on a permanently lower level, and quite deliberately.

The sheep (you know, the voters…) almost all complied with the ludicrous farrago of fake laws, “rules” etc put out by “Boris”-idiot, little Matt Hancock, and others.

Now those sheep are suffering, or starting to suffer, and the villain is supposed to be Russia, or Iran, or anything but the Western cabals who imposed those fake laws and closed down the UK and other economies for months and years.

I was shocked to see how easily the sheep were led by those with control of the levers of mass propaganda.

“Lockdown”, “social distancing”, “the Rule of Six”, the facemask nonsense etc. All entirely unnecessary (in reality, only a handful of people in the UK actually died of Covid).

As I blogged at the time, on one level the whole “Covid” thing was a massive psychological experiment; sadly, millions of people went along with it and probably even today believe it. Even years later, I occasionally see poor loonies wearing a facemask. Probably the same contaminated piece of cloth they have been breathing through for 6 years. Complete idiots, and victims of a “psy-op” which actually was not hugely sophisticated, though plainly co-ordinated at the start.

A kind of comfort blanket for the weak-minded.

I should love to hear the real views of people such as Sir Richard Dearlove [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dearlove], though I am not convinced that such people know a great deal more, overall, than me. They just know more detail (arguably).

Burnham continues to underwhelm. The weather this year is fairly brutal, but political leadership cannot change it one little bit.

As for “climate change”, the evidence for its existence is patchy, and its causation via “emissions” not proven, as far as I am concerned.

Further, even if there is climate change and even if it is caused by the said emissions, only what is done by the largest industrial powers, notably China, India, and the USA, would make a real difference. Britain is only sending out 1% of the said emissions, if that. In other words, even if Britain disappeared completely, or achieved “Net Zero”, the difference in emission-output would be somewhere between 1% and zero.

What political leadership in the UK can do is to plan ahead and to take strategic decisions that have practical outcomes.

The most important action that should be taken is to stop mass immigration. All the millions of migrant invaders (“small boat” invaders, “legal immigrants”, and those born to immigrant mothers or to stupid British women impregnated by non-Europeans) use water, for one thing. 55 million people lived in the UK when I was born (1956); now, 65-70 million.

The next thing that government can do is to ameliorate the effects of continued hot weather. Build more reservoirs. Not one public reservoir has been constructed in 34 years in the UK. I now read that some are being planned and that a few have even been started. However, it takes years to construct a large reservoir, and months or —more usually— years for such reservoirs to fill, especially in periods of low rainfall.

A further action that would help is to give some financial help to planters and growers who want private reservoirs (which can cost up to £2M). That helps because the water for irrigation would then come from the private reservoir, not from public reservoirs, rivers, and aquifers.

Of course, none of the above can change the weather, but those and other measures might help to mitigate the effects.

I once lived for a while on a Caribbean island without reservoirs or (when I was there) any desalination plant (one was being built while I was there). In fact, there was no mains water on the island at that time. However, all large or medium-size houses were built around a large tank, so that when it did rain (torrentially, in hurricane season), water was retained. Certainly, the villa in which I lived never ran out of water for showers etc (you had to buy drinking water, imported from the USA, mostly).

UK governments should make new buildings include such tanks, and also potential air-conditioning. Yes, there is a cost penalty; well, boo-hoo. It is necessary.

Reverting to Burnham, my initial view of him as someone who just wants to do what appears popular (except for stopping the migration invasion, of course) is daily reinforced.

Look at the “P.C. Harper” case, re. the tinker/”traveller” criminals who killed a policeman a few years ago. The big picture strategy would be to remove or eliminate such “traveller” criminals, if necessary as a whole “community”, rather than horse around, as Burnham is, trying to prevent a few individual ones from getting early release from prison. In fact, he is only doing that because he does not want the mass media to report that he is doing nothing.

Strategy, not day-to-day tactics.

Underwhelming. I saw the last one, in 1999, which on the Dorset/Hampshire coast where I saw it was about 99% and very memorable. Around midday, the skies quite suddenly darkened, and stayed dark for several minutes.

For some reason, the BBC has gone crazy about this not terribly interesting partial eclipse (in UK) of 2026. It leads the news broadcasts. Senseless.

Ah, I must have missed the fact that that Heath individual is now the Editor of the Sunday Telegraph. That explains much. I had been wondering why both the Sunday Telegraph and Daily Telegraph, pro-Jewish lobby and pro-Israel for many years anyway, had apparently become manically so more recently.

[“The cost of chartering the largest oil tankers on the route from the Middle East to China has reached approximately $500,000 per day. At the beginning of the year, this amount was around $25,000-$30,000.

A German news agency reported that due to the increased risks of transiting the Strait of Hormuz, many shipping companies are refusing to pass through the strait. This has led to a reduction in the number of available oil tankers and a sharp increase in prices.

The largest oil tanker carries 2 million barrels of oil, worth $200 million. A 30-day voyage from the Persian Gulf to China costs an amount equal to 7.5% of the cargo’s value. That is, one barrel out of every 13 goes towards the cost of transportation.“]

Final thought of the day

Saw “Engels” trending on Twitter/X. Was intrigued briefly, until I understood that the Engels in question was not Friedrich Engels [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Engels] but some footballer with the same surname…

Saturday quiz

Well, this week my 6/10 scored a clear victory over the 3/10 of political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 6, 7, and 9.

Talking point

That is a screenshot from my one-time Twitter account, which ran from about 2010 to 2018, when a pack of Jews conspired together to mass-report me to Twitter. The result was that I was expelled from Twitter and my account deleted. However, that was a blessing in disguise because, as a result of my Twitter account having been deleted, potential “evidence” against me on mooted (but never made) charges of “incitement to racial hatred” could not be found, and the provenance of alleged tweets could not be established.

Once again, the Jewish/Israel lobby shot itself in the foot, in other words.

I think the point made in the pinned tweet is even more valid in 2026.

“Youngest (and black) professor at Cambridge is a plagiarist”

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/07/24/cambridges-diversity-poster-boy-in-plagiarism-row/?recomm_id=d551a520-1bb7-47ec-af05-75f34c451598

[Cambridge “professor” and alleged plagiarist, one Jason Arday]

Even leaving aside the plagiarism, the academic world and society should bin fake academic disciplines such as sociology, particularly the jargon-ridden type so prevalent today. You often find that Jewish individuals are prominent in all that. For example:

Supporters of Prof Arday became aware last year of questions about his academic legitimacy, and responded with furious accusations of racism.

Prof Sir Simon Baron-Cohen, the director of Cambridge’s autism research centre, and cousin of the comedian Sacha Baron-Cohen, and Ricardo Sabates, professor of education, circulated an open letter under the heading: “URGENT PLEASE SIGN ANTI-RACISM LETTER FOR JASON ARDAY.”

[Daily Telegraph]

[Update, 30 July 2026: seems that the Daily Telegraph agrees with my points… https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/07/29/academia-has-a-much-bigger-problem-than-plagiarism/

Cambridge chose to ignore the warning on the basis that the allegedly plagiarised research was “not within our remit” because it had not been completed at their university. They were too busy basking in the DEI glow of a professor who had beaten seemingly insurmountable odds: struggling with autism, non-verbal until the age of 11, unable to read and write until he was 18 (somewhat implausible given he did manage to secure two GCSEs).

When Arday did face criticism, he knew how to weaponise the progressive machine against defectors. In response to an email from Harris citing concerns about plagiarism he complained that “instead of spending your time trying to dismantle racism and ableism, you have spent what I assume is hours combing through my work looking for mistakes” and that “anything further from you will be considered bullying and harassment”.

The second truth is that Jason Arday has succeeded in a field of academia where genuinely good work simply does not exist. Good critical race theory isn’t a thing. Academia should function as a tool to expand and deepen human knowledge. PhDs are meant to establish previously unknown facts about the world. But for a long time, sociology simply hasn’t done this.

Let’s look at some of the work that Arday is alleged to have plagiarised. His PhD was titled “An exploration of peer-monitoring among student teachers’ [sic] to inform reflective practice within the context of action research”. This means absolutely nothing. The purpose of his work “was to analyse and synthesise existing literature and research in order to better understand the multi-faceted nature of reflected practice”

[Daily Telegraph]

The only aspect left out of that Telegraph piece is, as one might expect, the Jewish aspect in sociology teaching.]

Every announcement Burnham has made so far has been an attempt to get voters from various directions onside. Only in time will it become clear that Burnham’s various announcements are 95% hot air. So, yes, he may well be thinking of holding a general election before his government fails on all fronts.

Burnham faces a “Devil’s alternative”, in that he presently has 403 Labour MPs. An election sometime soon would reduce that number considerably, perhaps to 250 or 300. However, to hang on until 2028 or 2029 might result in Labour reducing to 200 or even 100.

[“The Guardian: “Iran, using Chinese satellite imagery and tactics learned from Russia’s war in Ukraine, is bombing American bases and vital infrastructure in the Persian Gulf with increasing accuracy.
Iran has maintained an effective missile capability, which the new leadership is prepared to use.

It might be more than a joke in 10 years’ time…

I am currently enjoying my week of free access to the Daily Telegraph, my favourite section being the obituaries. However, the reportage and particularly the comment elsewhere in the newspaper is so pro-Jewish lobby, so pro-Israel, that I shall certainly not be paying to continue to read it.

The msm in the UK show a completely one-sided picture of the present conflict; the terror attacks on Russian civilians by the Kiev regime are rarely covered.

I should say that Burnham has until the end of the year to bite the bullet and call a general election; any time after that, and he is toast, Labour is toast.

Stop paying out for migrant invaders (food, housing, transport, NHS/dental, police, prison spaces etc), and stop throwing money at the Jewish/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev. Just those two economies would save enormous amounts, enough to fund adult social care for British people, and decent pensions.

Who needs him? Who wants him? Yes, he and his cabal got him elected (just) as MP for some no-hope place near Manchester. Now he suddenly poses as Prime Minister. Completely invalid in real-world politics.

I notice that Reform UK is still ahead of Labour in the opinion polls, though only by a couple of points. However, the Greens are sinking, which promotes Labour and will mitigate electoral losses; Burnham’s convoluted statements seem to have slightly mollified 2024 Green voters (both the Muslims and other non-whites, and the white anti-Israel-ers).

Burnham is behaving more like a regional politician from some devolved government rather than a head of UK government.

Incidentally, about 65% of the UK population lives south of Birmingham, and about 37% of the UK population lives in the South and South-East (including London).

For God’s sake! Enough!

This needs a Betjeman to chronicle it. Instead of “a light blue carpet on the stair, and Lady Mary standing there” (probably a misquote) something involving a swimming pool, shady places, and some ice-cold vegetable okroshka.

Both main System parties are to blame.

Also, why have “wards” been largely done away with in many advanced countries (they have this thing called hospital “rooms” for 1-2 people), but are still considered normal in the backward UK?

“Our NHS”…supposedly.

Morning thought

Surely the basic things of life and social life should be made available by society to all citizens (not any interloper straight off the boat)? Meaning clean air, clean water, green spaces and a green environment (meaning trees, bushes, parks, not a pseudo-“green” agenda). Basic local transport. Enough money or other wherewithal to buy food. Decent housing. Medical and dental care. Educational services.

In my view, basic income will have to come. There is no point in making the unemployed (still less the genuinely physically disabled) jump through hoops to get a small amount of necessary money against a background of relatively few jobs paying enough on which to live.

AI and robotics are loosening the bonds between work and production, and the links between work and pay.

The basic State Pension is paid to all citizens over the rubric age regardless of real contribution or even real need. The same is true of Child Benefit. It may be that the time has come to supply all citizens with Basic Income, even if on a low level, regardless of contribution or even need. There are economic arguments in favour of providing it, regardless of provable need, just as people over a certain age get a pension from the State regardless of their need.

The case was brought after a Gazan-born mother-of-three – who came to the UK as a refugee and is now a British citizen – was refused permission to bring her extended family into this country.

Her relatives – both parents; a brother, his wife and four children; a sister and four children; and another sister, her husband and three children – won a legal challenge on human rights grounds.

The Palestinians argued they had a ‘right to family life’ under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and won their case under Section 6 of the Act which sets out how it is ‘unlawful for a public authority to act in a way which is incompatible with a Convention right’.

The ruling showed most of the adult applicants could not speak English and that the UK-based sister would only be able to accommodate her parents.

You must simply ensure your child receives an efficient, full-time education suitable to their age, ability, and aptitude” [The Good Schools Guide].

[“The Windrush generation has been one of the most effective propaganda tools used against the native British population to justify mass immigration.

The reality? It’s all a lie. They were never formally invited, the locals did not welcome them, and even the government of the day actively opposed granting them citizenship.

Before The Empire Windrush left port in 1948, Prime Minister Clement Attlee tried to divert the ship to what is now Tanzania. He viewed coloured immigration as a threat to “White Britain.” The British government at the time was so nativist that several ministers publicly declared they would prefer White prisoners of war as domestic workers over Black immigrants.

When the ship docked at Tilbury, passengers were met by angry crowds holding signs reading “Keep Britain White.” Local residents continued to protest the colonisation of their communities by the Windrush arrivals and their descendants for decades afterwards.

The British Nationality Act 1948 proved to be our undoing. It was intended to allow White Commonwealth, Anglosphere, and European citizens to come and work in post-war Britain, but the legislation failed to anticipate the enormous numbers of non-White migrants who would later exploit it.

In 1952, Winston Churchill attempted to introduce legislation to restrict Caribbean migrants from gaining permanent residency and citizenship. His efforts failed, blocked by the very Act of 1948. Britain, unravelled by a single piece of legislation.

The so called ‘British values’ of ‘tolerance’ and ‘diversity’ endlessly promoted today are myths. We conquered the world and then attempted to keep our colonial subjects out of Britain itself. Our history was one of strength, achievement and glory, not tolerance and diversity.

No one voted for mass immigration or demographic transformation. These modern ‘values’ were created by internationalist scoundrels who use them to justify flooding Europe with the third world, so they can profit off cheap labour.

Never let them tell you that Britain invited these people here. Don’t let them gaslight you.“]

Once considered, at least by herself but also by many in the mass media, as some kind of “national leader” and even “world leader”, she is now totally washed-up politically, seems to be drinking fairly heavily, and has jettisoned the provincial SNP cronies of the past. Also, with her husband now imprisoned for the next few years (over 5 years sentence, so maybe out in 2 or so), she can consign him to the wastepaper basket and live as a lesbianka in London.

As I guessed before 2024 would happen with Starmer-stein, Burnham has failed before he has even started.

I suppose that Burnham can see that the Labour MP cadre is going to be severely culled whenever the next general election is held, so has decided to 1. try to keep the non-white/Muslim/Pakistani vote as far as possible, and 2. try to win back the white English/British etc 2024 Green Party voters.

Burnham’s problem is that both of those groups together add up to no more than 25%, at most, of the potential electorate.

Meanwhile, all the signs are that the whole society is slowly collapsing, leading to frustration, and then rage…and, down the line, a demand for proper social-national government.

Translates to a Commons with about 258 Reform UK MPs (68 short of a majority), 100 Cons (weak official Opposition), 97 Lab, 69 LibDems, 60 Greens, 42 SNP [etc].

Either Reform minority govt. with Con support, or some kind of unlikely “grand coalition” of non-Reform parties.

The uncertainty and weakness will be good for social nationalism to grow.

The white South Africans, especially the English-speaking ones, were weak. They compromised, gave up their power (which included tanks, jet fighters and bombers, even germinal nuclear and biological weapons) for a promise of some faked “rainbow nation” bs. In the final analysis, they gave up their supremacy for the chance keeping their swimming pools and wealth, and to drive around in jeeps wearing stupid rugby shirts. They failed.

Now South Africa is only about 5% white, and is descending into savagery. What a surprise.

Nature, managed Nature, homesteading, permaculture, rewilding, and the potential symbiosis of rurality and advanced technology

Some of the background to the Nastya and Village Life videos.

Incidentally, that person makes a very good income via YouTube: see

She gets some direct donations, even if only a few hundred U.S. dollars per month. She seems to have an overall income from online activity somewhere in the region of USD $7,000 per month at present, which is decent, to say the least, especially in Russia, and even if (as I expect) it is taxed at about a third.

I had noticed in some of her videos that she (or her now-ex husband or boyfriend) owned a foreign vehicle; her German kitchen appliances etc were also noticed.

Not that I am criticizing. It is very clever to mix a rural life with an income largely derived from the most up-to-date technical advances, such as online vlogging.

Another example of similar or not entirely dissimilar (though more “eco”-oriented) activity would be Bealtaine Cottage, in Ireland: https://bealtainecottage.com.

https://www.youtube.com/user/BealtaineCottage

As a matter of fact, when I had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018), the lady from Bealtaine Cottage used to retweet my material sometimes; then the same Jewish cabal harassed her, and tweeted to her about how I was supposedly “mad, bad, and dangerous to know“, as Lady Caroline Lamb said of Byron. The Bealtaine Cottage lady then blocked me. Still, I am bigger than that. #MoralHighGround…

Tree cover in Europe varies from a mere 1% on Malta to 74% in Finland. Ireland has only about 11%, so the example of Bealtaine Cottage is well worth both noting and emulating.

The UK is also deficient in tree cover (about 13.5%, though possibly increasing slightly). I believe that, immediately after WW1, the situation in the UK was even worse, about 5%, which is why the Forestry Commission was established in 1919, though at first only to grow conifers for timber production.

If you see old photos and film of England from the First World War era, or even 1930s, the denudation of the landscape in many rural areas is clear.

Ireland, after WW1, had a miserable tree cover of only 1%, incredibly, so even the 11%-12% presently seen is a huge improvement, even more so than in the UK.

Both countries are moving over to Nature-friendly broadleaf planting now.

Bealtaine Cottage has only 3 acres, in fact (though the dense vegetation makes the plot seem larger), and the lady owner has planted 1,000+ trees herself, mostly from seed or from cuttings. The so-called “power of one”:

The “power of one” indeed, but that just emphasises how much more a group, even a small group, can do (in any area of activity). When scaled-up to a whole society doing things, the available power of transformation can be huge (again, in any field of activity, not just ecological and environmental).

The main point made, though, is that you do not, in the end, need a group or organization. One person can do it, alone.

The cartoons below show what can happen when biodiversity is reduced, but not everywhere is going in the wrong direction.

As far as Bealtaine Cottage is concerned, this is what Google AI has to say:

The lady behind Bealtaine Cottage is Colette O’Neill, a native of Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Born into a large family of eleven children, her journey to creating her famous woodland sanctuary involves a fascinating mid-life reinvention. [1, 2, 3]

Early Life & Teaching Career

  • Education: Colette won a scholarship to attend the Loreto Convent Grammar School in Omagh.
  • Life in London: She spent a major portion of her adulthood living in London, raising her three children. As a mature student, she attended Middlesex University, graduating with honours in education in 1992.
  • Profession: Prior to her ecological work, she spent over a decade working as a full-time schoolteacher in London. [1, 2]

The Escape to the “Good Life”

By 2004, tired of the relentless pace of London life and single in her late 40s, Colette plotted her return to Ireland to pursue a simpler, self-sustaining lifestyle. She spent holiday weekends hunting for property, eventually buying a derelict, roofless stone cottage sitting on three acres of severely waterlogged, north-facing bogland in County Roscommon. [1, 2, 3]

Despite having no plumbing, electricity, or local family support, she moved in alone to prove that one person could restore the poorest land into a thriving ecosystem. [1, 2, 3]

Current Identity & Work

Now in her late 60s, Colette has lived at the cottage for over 21 years and identifies deeply as a writer, folklorist, vegan, and Pagan “Tree Mother”. Her daily philosophy has evolved from standard permaculture into what she calls “Goddess Permaculture”—a deeply spiritual, mindful connection to the Earth. [1, 2, 3, 4]

She is a officially recognized artist by the Irish government and funds her lifestyle entirely through her ad-free YouTube channel, Patreon, and Bealtaine Cottage Publishing, through which she has written and self-published several books, including A Cottage and Three Acres and Walking Between Worlds.”

So there you see the practical aspects. Her 3-acre plot does produce quite a lot of food, probably all or most of what she needs. She even sells any surplus locally. Heating is mainly from wood she has planted, cut, and dried.

Apart from that, the Bealtaine Cottage lady has no direct income via her YouTube channel, (ad-free, by her own choice, which is very principled, in view of the fact that she has 90,000 YouTube subscribers). She could otherwise get maybe £1,000-£1,500 per month from that source alone.

Actually, I am seeing ads on her vlogs, but whether she herself profits from them, I have no idea.

She does get donations (at least £300-£400 per month) via Patraeon (~127 subscribers), and a little more via other online donation sites. Her own books, self-published, must bring in some income, and that is all tax-free in Ireland, because recognized artists, writers etc are untaxed.

I do not know whether she gets any direct income via Twitter/X; maybe not.

At age 65-70, that lady must also get UK and/or Irish state pension payments, and probably also has a small private pension from her decade teaching in London.

My point is that the lady has diverse income streams (and few expenses). The Russian lady, Nastya, is more limited in where her income originates.

Ideally, one does not put all eggs in one basket.

I always recall seeing a TV show, circa 2001, about a black American financial specialist adviser. One person advised was a young man from somewhere like Luton or Bedford who had arranged to hire a jet airliner simulator. He then sold blocks of time for 30 minutes at a go, as a novelty. He was making something like £100K a year in the money of 2000 (you could double or triple that in the money of 2026).

He was offered £650,000 in cash (so over £1.5M in 2026 money) for his business —and was advised to accept— but refused. A few months later, the 2001 attack on New York happened, and BA (who owned the simulator) and all other airlines were told by government not to allow any stray people to use flight simulators. The young man’s business collapsed overnight. He vanished into obscurity, having thought of himself as an “entrepreneur”, when really he had just had one lucky and time-limited success.

Eggs. Basket(s).

Another case. I knew via a friend, a middle-aged Scottish lady who thought she knew everything about finance and business, but in reality knew nothing. Her father had owned a very large business in Scotland; it produced hydraulic pit props (for coal mines), I believe. By the time her father died, in the late 1960s or early 1970s, the National Coal Board was not ordering many such props. The business was insolvent. It employed thousands of people.

The lady of my fairly slight acquaintance was a civil servant in London. She took over despite knowing nothing of business. Her motivation, well-meaning but silly, was to try to keep the business going for the sake of its employees. All that happened was that the collapse, which might have been mitigated, was total, and delayed by only months, not years. All the employees were left with neither employment nor even corporate redundancy payments.

After that, the Scottish lady had some money, and a large mansion flat in St. John’s Wood High Street, very close to Regent’s Park. Such apartments, especially of that size, are now valued in the millions. Even then, the value was very high. She sold it and, with a proportion of the proceeds, bought the one-time private residence of Ribbentrop, from when he was Ambassador of the German Reich in London. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_von_Ribbentrop#Ambassador_to_the_United_Kingdom. That detached house, in Barnes, just south of Hammersmith Bridge, and down a quiet side road, had a pleasant garden with mature trees, at least by the early 1980s when I saw it a couple of times, and a large number of bedrooms.

The Scottish lady rented out at least a dozen rooms to foreign girl students, cash in hand. I suppose that that would have brought in the equivalent (in 2026 money) of a couple of thousand pounds, perhaps more, each week. In cash. Almost certainly not declared to the tax authorities. Was she satisfied with that? No, of course not…

The Scottish lady conceived the idea of a clothes shop with nice fashions for fat women (to put it bluntly). She herself was enormous. Clothes for very fat women were, at the time, apparently hard to find in the UK, so she went to the USA to source stock.

She actually mortgaged her house in order to launch this doomed venture. A shop was leased, in Marylebone High Street, and its name emblazoned above the doors— Largesse. Maybe not a very diplomatic name…

I myself, then in my mid-twenties and not yet embarked on my law degree, actually slept on the shop’s floor overnight once or twice, because the burglar alarms had not been installed.

Anyway, suffice to say that that shop failed, spectacularly, and the lady eventually died, about a decade later, effectively and maybe actually bankrupt.

Lesson? Self-knowledge prevents too-ambitious an undertaking. Also, that sometimes one can get by quite well on what one has. That Scottish lady had few essential expenses and, in the money of 2026, a cash income, untaxed (in effect) of at least £10,000 per month; significant capital as well.

Compare that to Ms. O’Neill of Beltaine Cottage, who has a small fraction of that income, yet lives, it appears, rather well on it. As a friend of mine at the Bar once remarked to me, “it’s not what you make, it’s what you spend.” Trite, of course, but true.

The way forward for many may be to disconnect as far as possible or convenient from the general society, to link up with others fairly loosely, and to prepare for the quite likely collapse of that general society.

Naturally, everyone will have a pathway that suits the individual circumstances; the knowledge-level of Ms. O’Neill in Ireland is very greatly higher than that of the Russian girl. Both cases, however, are worth studying for what they can impart,

Good grief, just listen to that silly bitch spouting her soundbites about “decent, well-paid jobs“, good housing etc. Meanwhile, in the real England and Wales, migrant invaders are still flooding in, there is a near-collapse of law, order, and previous social norms and, in soundbite language, the rich are getting hugely richer, and almost everyone else is sinking, as shown in the cartoon below from 15 years ago (and still valid):

Incidentally, I wonder what odds the bookmakers would offer against Ghislaine “Maxwell” getting a Presidential pardon from Trump in his last few days in office in 2029? Might well be worth a good substantial punt, in my opinion. I wonder whether they would offer 10/1. My own assessment of the real chance is nearer 50-50…

Translates to a Commons with about 226 Labour MPs (100 short of an overall majority); 221 Reform UK (strong official Opposition); 57 Cons (about half of the present number); 52 LibDems; 43 SNP; 14 Greens; 12 Plaid Cymru [etc].

A hopelessly hung Parliament. Burnham would only be able to pass legislation with the assistance of all the LibDems, all the Greens, all Plaid, and all SNP (adding up to 121, so even then several short of an overall majority, but about half a dozen more than a bare working majority. Hopeless.

As a matter of fact, I think that a Burnham government is going to become pretty unpopular pretty quickly.

I cannot see Burnham holding a general election at present, i.e. later this year, because I am assuming that Labour’s large present majority would disappear (as it loses 200+ MPs). On the other hand, if Burnham just takes over, as Sunak did from Liz Truss/”Boris”-idiot, and refuses to call an election for years, then we are back to square one, and Labour is toast.

Good for social-nationalism, probably.

She found at least 270 victims and named the men running it. The Hussain family was on that list. Rotherham Council and South Yorkshire Police had the names, the cars, the addresses. Their response was to tell Weir to never mention Asian men again and book her onto a two day ethnicity and diversity course. A few months later her files vanished from a locked office. Computer records were altered too. Nobody was ever charged for that either. It took until 2016 for Arshid Hussain to get 35 years and Qurban Ali to get 10. Fifteen years after Weir handed the council the names on a plate. The Jay Report in 2014 confirmed 1400 children were abused in Rotherham. The Casey Report in 2015 called the council not fit for purpose and pointed straight at a culture that put political correctness above child protection. This keeps happening because the playbook never changes. Raise the alarm and you get managed. Stay quiet and you get promoted. Weir did her job. The people whose actual job was protecting children sent her to a workshop. Sources: @thetimes @BBCNews @yorkshirepost.”]

Neither Muslim nor Jewish individuals should be in the police, civil service, or government, whether at local or national level.

The multikulti society can never function properly.

I saw on TV news a clip from the speech. As I have already predicted on the blog, the Andy Burnham Labourite circus, like some wine, does not travel far from its native terroir, in this case Manchester.

As predicted, Burnham is already a disaster, and he is not yet even elected by the Labour MP drones as their chosen leader (and so, Prime Minister by default).

Our present electoral and political system is a (contrived, rigged) joke, as is Burnham.

Of course, behind Burnham stand Labour Friends of Israel. In short, the “you-know-who” (((them))).

“Diversity” of magistrates and judges

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/magistrate-who-helped-run-drug-37351536

[the main defendant, an Indian who was sitting as a magistrate in the London area]

“A London magistrate who helped run a drug supply operation involving heroin and crack cocaine across the capital has been jailed.

Purshotam Dhillon, 59, offered an “air of respectability” when he allowed gang boss Hardeep Thind to use his home in Hounslow, west London, as a base of operations. Dhillon stored drugs and cash at the property.

The magistrate sat at courts in Ealing, Feltham, and Uxbridge. Dhillon helped Thind keep up his “Hadi” drugs line, which sold heroin and crack cocaine, while the gang boss was in prison.

On Thursday, Dhillon, Thind, of Southall, and two co-defendants, Bikramjit Brar, 46, from Hayes, and Leandrea Lynch, 49, also from Hayes, were all sentenced for their parts in the drug supply operation.

Dhillon was sentenced to seven years in prison, Thind – who went by the name Harry Singh – was handed a 12-year sentence and Brar was jailed for three years and four months. Lynch was given a two-and-a-half-year suspended sentence.”]

[Daily Mirror]

Only white English/British persons should sit as judges or magistrates (etc); and only white English/British persons should be allowed to be barristers and solicitors. Anything else simply corrupts and rots the legal professions, and the legal system as a whole. That applies to any Muslim or Jewish individuals, as well as various “blacks and browns” (etc).

That may seem “extreme”, in these days of enforced “diversity” but —believe me— I have seen the very bad consequences of so-called “diversity” in plenitude in the past, when I myself was a practising barrister in chambers in London and then, some years later, based in Exeter though travelling all over England and beyond (1992-1996 in London and 2002-2008 at Exeter).

The repeal of the Vagrancy Act 1824 looks, at first blush, “kind” etc, but one has also to think about what our towns and cities will look like in 5, 10, 20 years…

Even now, rough sleeping is littering some cities. Nearly 3 years ago, in the aftermath of my free speech trial (November 2023), I had a morning appointment in Southampton with a fairly pleasant woman from the probation organization. I drove in (a 40-minute drive) early so as to avoid traffic and parking problems. I was there before 0800 hrs for an appointment scheduled for, I think, 0930.

To kill time, I decided to get a coffee at a nearby branch of some coffee chain, Starbucks, I think. Bloody awful. Loud horrible “music”, robotic and seemingly braindead teenage staff, you had to line up to get your coffee (no table service), and the coffee was pretty poor for the money.

Outside, a number of persons on the pavement in sleeping bags, fast asleep on that frosty morning. After I had drunk my expensive and frothy “coffee” drink, and read a book a bit while trying to ignore the “music”, I exited and, seeing the first street sleeper now awake, went over to him (an Englishman, bearded, youngish, possibly an ex-soldier) and gave him a £2 coin, expressing the idea that he should get himself a drink (possibly not the most helpful suggestion, I don’t know). He thanked me and wished me a good day.

Before I could move on very far, some black woman approached me and asked for money. I gave her the only coin I had left, 50p, and walked swiftly on.

So that is what the centre or near-centre of Southampton was like in 2023. What will it and similar places be like by 2033? London? God knows…

Of course, the main problem is mass immigration, migration invasion, call it what you will. There has always been a rough sleeper/homelessness problem in England and the UK as a whole (after all, the Vagrancy Act was passed in 1824, when thousands of former soldiers from the Napoleonic wars were homeless and roaming around), but that problem had declined to almost nothing, at least outside London and a few other large cities, until the migration invasion of the past half-century gathered pace.

Thanks to Google AI, I can now understand msm scribbler Dan Hodges’ comment…(“In slang, NPC stands for “Non-Player Character.” Borrowed from video games, it is used to describe a person who seems to lack independent thought, acts with predictable or scripted behavior, or simply goes along with the crowd without originality“).

I assessed Dominic Cummings quite a few years ago now: see

Well, no Daily Mail or other msm scribbler is going to jeopardize the arrival of the regular big cheque from the paymasters, after all…

Yes, you see that daily in the way in which TV, radio, newspapers report events; also in the way in which the courts deal with matters. The huge overwhelming wave, or “elephant in the room”, behind the bare event or events is ignored. Via a mental trick or block, the gradual collapse of a reasonably workable white European society, and its becoming dystopian multikulti hellscape, is simply not recognized by scribblers, talking heads, judges, magistrates, barristers, politicians (a fortiori, politicians!) etc.

Any of the above who do recognize the truth, and express it, become unpersons, as happened to me.

Already happening.

In fact, the halfway-through-sentence release has been the norm for some years.

Stray thought

Saw an old Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? quiz show, filmed around 2010. The team consisted of former TV newsreader Angela Rippon [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Rippon] and the Jewish consumer finance specialist, Martin Lewis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Lewis_(financial_journalist)]. Both were fairly ignorant (but won quite a large sum for their chosen charities) and both were also extremely irritating. If anything, Angela Rippon was even more irritating than the other one.

At least I knew who they were. The “celebrities” on such shows are often persons entirely unknown to me.

[“Eli Cohen Israeli Energy Minister: We have no intention of leaving Lebanon under any circumstances

  • We have no intention of fully occupying Lebanon, but we seek to impose security control over the entire Gaza Strip.
  • Israel will ultimately gain full control over the entire Gaza Strip, and this is considered part of the regime’s security objectives.
  • The issue of withdrawing from the Lebanese security zone is currently not on the agenda of the Israeli regime
  • Even if Donald Trump requests a withdrawal from this area, Israel will not agree to such a request, and Tel Aviv’s response will be “no.”]

The Middle East, indeed the world, has a poisonous snake in it. Crush that snake.

When will American leaders wake up? I suppose, only when the bribes are no longer being made…

In the past, until 1981, anyone born in the UK could apply for British citizenship later, which is why Kemi Badenoch’s parents deliberately had her born in the UK. She returned 17 years later, and is now the leader of the pathetic Conservative Party.

System stooge. Of course, my attitude towards both Reform and Restore is that they move the Overton Window, so good as far as that goes, but the Jewish/Zionist poison dart is in Reform for sure; maybe in Restore as well. Neither can be relied upon as serious anti-System parties, and that would be so even if Reform “won” a System general election.

Have no idea what that organization may be. On the face of it, though, looks hopeful.
