Once again, the political pygmies of 2020 Britain are playing at being petty tyrants, issuing decrees and ordering people about (or pretending to). Look at this idiot!
“Welsh supermarkets have been ordered to only sell ‘essential goods’ to customers during the country’s 17-day lockdown.
First Minister Mark Drakeford will tell stores they are unable to sell items such as clothes to shoppers, and to prioritise other products deemed to be more important.” [Daily Mail]
I have to admit that I had never heard of Mark Drakeford. The sort of person who, before devolution, would have been something like a county councillor, rather than “First Minister” of the Welsh “Government”.
When I read about some silly little person like this laying down the law (probably invalid law at that), I am torn between laughing and being infuriated.
In fact, Wales is a bit of a rotten borough. I just saw that the present Police and Crime Commissioner (and what a stupid idea this “PCC” nonsense is anyway) is one Alun Michael, a Labour Party drone and a former, repeated, and proven, expenses cheat! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alun_Michael#Parliamentary_expenses_claims.
Great. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Wales is himself little better than a fraudster…
Reverting to the ridiculous Drakeford (purported) decree, what possible use can it be to insist that shops only sell “essential” items? Is the hope that fewer people will bother to go to shops? “Essential” is not even defined. Will we once more have police personnel checking purchases? In what little Welsh world will that prevent “Coronavirus” infection? It’s just mad.
So when the Welsh economy completely collapses, which cannot be far away anyway after the stupid 6-month “lockdown” (shutdown) imposed by Boris-idiot, who will pick up the pieces financially? The English taxpayer?
Thing is, you give silly little people like this Mark Drakeford real powers, and then they cannot exercise them usefully or intelligently. They have neither the background nor the common sense and intelligence. “Decrees” are made which are senseless.
Look at his other recent “decrees”, e.g. that people cannot travel from some parts of England to Wales. How is that even enforceable? It isn’t…
This whole “virus” panic in the UK and by that I mean the Boris-idiot “laws”, “rules”, and “advice” (and the way in which the police have acted as a poundland KGB militia) has damaged the rule of law, possibly permanently. You have a government that believes in power and only power, untrammeled by law. What do they think will be done to them should they ever be in the power of a dictator?

I had never heard of The Chop until the malicious Jew-Zionist cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” started screaming about it recently. I also have effectively no interest in woodworking. Oh, well, now “they” have managed to have The Chop chopped, thus spoiling the innocent pleasure of many people. It’s what “they” do best. That should give a nice little boost to “antisemitism”…
So…what percentage of guests on TV shows should be professional criminals? 1%? 2%? More? What percentage should be xyz? Based on recent elections etc, maybe 10% of TV guests should be social nationalists. Will never happen. Well, only when we purge the msm and the swine now running TV stations, and profiting from all the decadence.
You really shouldn't be surprised. Just another example of how the elite despise the heterosexual natives whose taxes they throw at 'minorities' and snort up their arrogant noses.

The System msm is now puffing Indian “clever boy”, Rishi Sunak, as Prime Minister in Waiting, just as they puffed Boris-idiot for years. Take a look at the recent tweets of, for example, John Rentoul. They can see that “Boris” is not only incompetent (so was David Cameron-Levita, so was Theresa May) but looks it. Answer? Replace “Boris” before too long. Anyway, if that fails, the Labour Party is once again (((occupied))) territory, so if necessary Keir Starmer will do what the System wants.
You would imagine that Labour Party “socialism” had been a great success “up North” in recent decades…
If the Labour Party is so wonderful, why did the voters of 2019 abandon Labour (mostly in fact not voting “Conservative” but more usually just abstaining)?
As for “Comrade Geordie”, his heroes are thus: “heroes Bruce Lee , Tony Benn, Clem Attlee, Trotsky Marx Engels.” An idiot…
For “Corbyn’s Jewish Cat”, “@ChampagneDosser”, the UK is “a shithole”, which he intends to improve by smuggling in blacks and browns, i.e. completely useless hordes, who mostly hate us as well as want to leech on us. I agree with him on one thing only, about those who combine the Israeli flag with the Union Jack on their Twitter profiles…
Another idiot, in short…

Quite often, the revolutionaries on the ground are not theorists, philosophers or theologians; often disruptive social dissidents, angry young —or old— people, or even criminals of a sort…
At last . A 'mainstream' i.e. conformist political reporter, in this case @peston, begins to grasp the blazingly obvious truth about British politics. The Tories are not conservative. Gosh. Soon he will find out sun rises in east, not west. https://t.co/PhwEFvl9Ij
Those following the progress of the latest ridiculous prosecution of satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz should be aware that her trial (and application to dismiss the charges) has been adjourned, on Crown Prosecution Service application, until 17 November 2020. May victory be hers.
I have no sympathy for this kind of “we wuz robbed” nonsense. Whatever its faults, the UK is not (yet) North Korea. The voters had before them pretty much all the useful information about Boris-idiot well before the 2019 election.
They knew (those that ever delve beyond the sport and “celebrity” news) that he had never done a job properly, that he had been sacked from every job until he became Mayor of London and that, as Mayor, he had failed to realize anything, from water cannon and buses to the Β£80M failure of Joanna Lumley’s “Garden Bridge” and the almost unused cross-Thames cable-car.
Incidentally, though I like Joanna Lumley on TV, in her travel shows etc, she really ought to stop interfering in political affairs. The Garden Bridge, though an interesting idea, cost the people of London Β£80M for nothing. Her meddling in Army matters on behalf of the Gurkhas, about 12 years ago (her father having been one of their officers), has resulted in Aldershot becoming a crime-ridden Nepali town, in effect, thanks to the importation of “extended families”. By all means improve the pensions of the Gurkha soldiers, they deserved that, but let them retire to their homes in Nepal, where they can live better than they can here anyway; that would also have injected money into the poor Nepali economy.
Even Boris-idiot’s former bosses, such as Max Hastings, excoriated him, in such terms as that they were amazed that he had got as far as he had (Cabinet minister) and that he was “utterly unfit” [Max Hastings] to rise further.
As I blogged at the time, one heard or read remarks such as “Boris has the ability to be PM, but does he have the ethics?“, to which my reply (surely now vindicated in spades) was “where exactly has ‘Boris’ shown any ability whatsoever?” I did not accept that spewing out rote-learned Greek or Latin phrases, or odd words trawled from the OED, or scribbling a tabloid newspaper column, was proof of enormous ability.
Indeed, the very “resistible rise” of “Boris” shows how very and pathetically primitive UK political culture still is. Put a part-Jew, part-Turk, part-God-knows-what public entertainer on stage, dress him up with a little finery from Eton and Oxford, let him get away with everything he does, however stupid, and there it is. The msm was constantly implying or even expressing that the said con-man was “Prime Minister in Waiting”. Eventually, all that assistance from the msm worked, and “Boris” was anointed PM, without ever having had to win a General Election.
People knew all that information about “Boris”, and more, yet the Conservative Party geriatric division (comprising, at the time, almost all Con Party members) trooped obediently to vote for “Boris” as Conservative Party leader. “Boris” is not even his real first name.
Of course, the Jews favoured Boris, who after all is himself part-Jew and a member of Conservative Friends of Israel. Especially so when the likely alternative might have been Jeremy Corbyn.
Look at this: “Boris is…Boris is solid on Israel. Boris is…basically good [for Israel]…you know, he is an idiot, but…“
…and after “Boris” was jeered at and disrespected by that Jew, what did “Boris” do? Stood up in the House of Commons and kow-towed to Israel once again!
Having said that, I no more “blame” the Jews for “Boris” being unmerited Prime Minister than I blame clouds for bringing rain. That’s what they do. Manipulate.
The lazy complacent British voters are, mainly, to blame for the fact that an idiot is now posing as poundland Churchill “prime minister”, and has surrounded himself with clowns posing as a Cabinet.
By the time of the 2019 General Election, Boris-idiot was known to the voters, and that should have sunk him, but the msm (Jewish or pro-Jewish) campaign against Corbyn, combined with the vagaries of the UK’s First Past The Post electoral system, shooed-in “Boris”.
There were two other factors of importance: Nigel Farage stabbing his own Brexit Party in the back, and the boundaries of constituencies:
People must wake up and pay attention. Their own lives and futures are at stake.

Thank you @FatEmperor. I gaze in astonishment at many of my media colleagues who cannot tell the difference between a 'case' (in most cases with few or no symptoms, and needing to be hunted down by expensive teams) and a hospitalisation or death. https://t.co/gZxvzniUGw
Not so surprising. One of the symptoms of a general spread of lies in a society is precidely that: an inability to distinguish the lie from the truth. For half a century and more, there has been a lie around what happened in WW2, especially as to the so-called “holocaust”. Probably a majority of people in the UK, for example, believe that there actually existed “gas chambers”, in which were killed millions of Jews. That narrative has been pushed strongly ever since the 1950s, though much more since the 1970s.
The story goes that the German forces completely destroyed the “gas chambers” as they retreated west in 1944-45. So that is why there are no “gas chambers” or even remains of “gas chambers”, though visitors to the Auschwitz visitor attraction are shown a small room, “reconstructed” after 1945 and designated a “gas chamber”, into which the tourists reverentially progress before emerging (and going off to the gift shop…).
The result, or one result, of that whole narrative is that people cannot distinguish what is true and what is not. The Jewish/Zionist element, via suborned politicians, therefore makes it a criminal offence in parts of Europe to question even details of the said “holocaust” narrative. Because the facts cannot speak for themselves in a situation where there is no credible evidence for the existence of such “gas chambers”.
It has poisoned the whole academic historical milieu in Europe.
Yes, this is now just “history” (even if fake history), something that happened, or did not happen, or did not happen in the ways or to the extent claimed, 75-80 years ago. The effects, though, continue, not only in the realm of what is or is not “history”, but into the political sphere.
Here we have a virus which swept through Europe and elsewhere. In the UK, the hospitals put patients who were infected and who were (as most were) of advanced age, into care homes where they infected others, in large numbers. It may be that a third of the serious cases and deaths resulted from infections in hospitals, and another third or more in care homes. Most of the population was unaffected. Almost all of the population is unaffected.
Now, no-one is actually dying from (or with) Coronavirus in the UK, but there are still draconian laws, and we even read that ludicrously misnamed SAGE wants another “national lockdown” (shutdown)! Tests are showing thousands of people are newly diagnosed daily, but most are unaware that they are even infected, and have few if any symptoms, yet there is a panic abroad, whipped up by the msm and government.
At the same time, the shutdown of NHS and the national economy has already killed more than the “virus” (even on the faulty statistics given). Huge numbers have been diagnosed too late with cancer, for example.
People generally are finding it hard to see the truth, so you notice that on Twitter, the usual mob (the FBPEs, the “anti-racists”, the “antifa” idiots, most of the Jews etc) are all mask fanatics, all completely under the spell of the fake news and panic, and all want stricter laws and enforcement. “Useful idiots” for the System.

True. I myself have seen tweets from some of the UK Jew Twitter cabal demanding and trying to organize the expulsion of tweeter @jntwyatt. The same Jews, many of them infesting London, were behind my expulsion from Twitter in 2018.
The tweets of @jntwyatt are interesting (so were mine!); that is why “they” want him expelled. I would urge everyone on Twitter to give their support by following his account, and by retweeting his tweets.

“It was claimed by one person who reportedly participated in the call that Mr Johnson had ‘joked’ the coordinated effort to build the machines could be known as ‘Operation Last Gasp’. [Daily Mail]
“The person who made the claim to Politico said the PM ‘couldn’t help but act the clown’ as he hosted the call with CEOs.” [Daily Mail]
In the old proverb, “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”, and you cannot make a real prime minister out of a moneygrasping, freeloading part-Jew clown like Boris Johnson.
I have been looking at the reactions to this “joke” (I mean, primarily, “Operation Last Gasp”, not Boris-idiot as Prime Minister) in newspaper comment columns and Twitter. None of those fora reflect public opinion fully, but the bulk of them are certainly condemnatory of the person presently posing as PM.
The relative few who support Boris-idiot and his jokes seem to fall into two categories: the first are those aged 70+ and who seem to think that Britain and its inhabitants are the relatively united and certainly relatively homogenous people of 1940, and that Britain is still a great manufacturing nation. They supported Brexit, not as I did (for solid geopolitical reasons), but for some kind of farrago composed of blue passports, full British breakfasts, Spitfires over The White Cliffs of Dover and fantasy-Churchilliana.
The others who support Boris are those (especially men, especially under-45) who are basically infantile, who love humourless “banter”, practical “jokes” and post-1980 comedians and comediennes. They believe that anything can be and should be a butt for ill-judged humour, just as the ancient Greeks are said (probably wrongly) to have considered anything a fit subject for discussion.
cf. the “alt-Right” and “alt-Lite” wastes of space.
Britain has gradually become infantilized. It is hard to say when that started, though I should tentatively suggest a date when many bad things started to come into play— 1989.
What we now have is a basically infantilized population. It can be seen in TV ads, TV comedy series, the degeneration of the newspapers, even the formerly and still notionally “serious” newspapers (eg, the London Times, eg The Daily Telegraph), and it can be seen, a fortiori, in the political sphere.
Cast your minds back to 2009 and 2010. The banking crash had happened a couple of years before, but most of the msm discussion was not about the defaults of banks and other licensed thieves in the City of London, Frankfurt and Wall Street, but of how Britain had “overspent”, not on bailing out the speculators and usurers, but on the Welfare State, local council services and other support for the British population.
In 2010, there was a General Election in which a sizeable part of the moronic masses voting actually believed that the Welfare State had somehow “bankrupted” the UK (itself a concept without meaning in terms of sovereign debt) and that those to blame for the economic downturn were mainly the unemployed and disabled. An infantile idea, but paradoxically held as much by the elderly as by the middle-aged and young.
That infantile idea was kept going by the likes of David Cameron-Levita and his fellow part-Jew George Osborne, with his attempts to stir up hate against the unemployed and disabled by inviting the working poor to see which of the neighbours had closed curtains and thus were, perhaps, “sleeping late” and so clearly (?) not working…
This was the level of political discourse brought into the public domain by, indeed, infantile politicians. David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, many “Conservative” MPs, not to forget the LibDems and “Labour”.
As far as the LibDems are concerned, the more serious ones retired or went to the Lords and were replaced by “entitled” idiots, of which surely the worst and least principled was Nick Clegg, who thought (and was, briefly, proved right) that he could screw the British people as easily as he had the secretaries at the EU Commission…
That process in the LibDems bottomed-out (?) with the election, as LibDem leader, of Jo Swinson, a woman whose only pre-MP jobs had been a couple of very brief and unsuccessful provincial stints as marketing bod for small companies. She was swelled up with her own importance, kow-towed to the Jews nonstop, but was deflated on election night 2019 when the LibDems imploded and she herself lost her seat. It was good to see her crying and distraught, though (unfortunately) the sting was taken out of that by the fact that her husband, Duncan Hames, another ex-MP, is very well paid by a cosmopolitan “non-profit” organization. Jo Swinson’s doormatting for the Jewish lobby also paid off for her, in that Boris-idiot had her elevated to the Lords as a fake “baroness” (Β£310 taxfree for turning up and drinking a coffee for 30 mins a day, plus other expenses).
Labour? How about “mass immigration does not lower wages. The Government should insist on minimum pay and standards.” Hard to know where to start, when those “debating” do not understand the first principles of supply and demand in economics…
What about Tony Blair? Surely, you may say, he was not “infantile”? Well, both he and dear Cherie, Blair’s ugly and moneygrasping wife —whom many think of as terribly clever because she is a Q.C. in Employment Law— made statements to the effect that all or at least half of young people should go to “university” because “statistics show that people with degrees make higher salaries”! Tony, Cherie, please refer to the above “supply and demand” point…(the same could be said of the “universities”…).
Another example? Blair’s “50 mega-casinos” idea. Just what Britain needs— a huge local casino in every town, to take any money people might have left…
The infantilization of life in the UK has reached such heights (or depths) that someone can now become Prime Minister because many thought that he was or is marvellously funny. I mean, the man doesn’t even know how many children he has! What fun! He screwed an American woman when Mayor of London and then gave her Β£100,000 in public funds (wouldn’t a “top class” prostitute have been far cheaper for the London council tax payers?). What fun! “Boris” even finds the dreadful death of those suffering from Coronavirus funny enough to joke about. What fun!
Actually, this is not so funny. Boris Johnson is not funny, he is not fit to be in the position he is in and he should be removed by any means available.
I see Boris-idiot as akin to a comedic actor trying, unsuccessfully, to play a serious and rather tragic role.
Companies closing (even before “the virus”…)
In the past few years, badly-run companies have been using “Brexit” as their excuse for losing money or becoming insolvent. Now, they will have a new excuse: Coronavirus.
Have been reading the Daily Mail comments section. Frightening stupidity, for the most part. Ignorance abounding. Lots of fantasy “when we won the war” nonsense and “row row together” garbage. Also, lots of “we should not have to pay bills until this is all over” and “we should just carry on as usual and get through this” (and, presumably, or as Boris-idiot was saying only days ago, “take it on the chin”). I hope that those people remember that when they are dying from this (latest) Chinese virus, without NHS or other State aid.
Reminiscent of the New Orleans of the early 1850s, hit by yellow fever (“yellowjack”), as portrayed in the 1938 film, Jezebel…
Bette Davis. A star. I remember seeing her in great old age, a few years before she died. Cannot remember exact year, about 1985. She passed by only a few feet from me, as I stood with the chief of her security team (about a dozen-strong) at the South Bank Centre in London. She was accompanied by a younger woman, maybe 30, very beautiful and dressed in a ball gown or similar (fashion etc is not my strong suit), she being a kind of “lady in waiting”, though thinking about it now, maybe herself a bodyguard of some kind. Bette Davis looked like a living (just about living) fossil, but what presence! She had been appearing (if I recall aright) on The South Bank Show with Andrei Tarkovsky, director of films such as Mirror, Stalker and AndreiRublev.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Tarkovsky].
Ironically, Tarkovsky, 24 years younger than Bette Davis, died in 1986, three years before her.
Thoughts out of season
At this time, naturally, thoughts of possible mortality come to mind. As someone over 60, though not with serious health issues of the relevant kind, it has to be a possibility that I shall not survive “the virus” which those lovely people, the Chinese, have given to us.
Of course, it would be mildly ironic that, having survived a few risky situations in the past, and even the odd war zone (only as more-or-less spectator, though), I should perhaps expire thanks to an enemy so small that he cannot even be seen attacking. Still, these things happen.
I always recall the British family who wanted to escape the UK and go to live somewhere peaceful, where nothing ever happened, and where sheep safely graze. They did research, took all the precautions that they could, then emigrated to their planned haven…the Falkland Islands! They arrived two weeks before the Argentine invasion, after which the conflict (war) started. It must have been pretty noisy, at the very least; I recall being in a car rocked by an explosion, about 21 years ago. It nearly got blown over, despite the explosion being hundreds of yards away. Alarming.
Returning to our present situation, all one can do is to take reasonable precautions. I am restricting my shopping and doing it late in the evening or about 0700 in the morning, when few people are about. I could do it online only, but then would be restricted to online lotto only, and I like the odd scratchcard, despite never having won more than Β£500 (last year, in fact). I have a very limited social life now anyway, and even wait 2 hours before picking up my post from the floor. I use car fuel from an automated pump and am becoming almost obsessive about washing hands and using hand gel after touching fuel pumps, door handles etc. What more can one do?
Many people do not have the option to stay home and/or work from home. They need to travel on London Underground, overground trains, need to work to get money and/or have responsibilities not lightly abandoned (nurses, hospital or other doctors, police, paramedics etc). True, many, indeed most, will be under the age of 60 and in reasonable health (and so unlikely to be killed if they are infected) but many may have older relatives or others whom they might infect, of course.
Should I fall victim to the virus, I imagine that my demise will be greeted with hoots and howls of laughter and glee from the Jew element and their “antifa” idiot-doormats. However, even in that circumstance, their pleasure may come back to bite them:
“Lord Krishna spoke these words to Arjuna whose eyes were tearful and downcast, and who was overwhelmed with compassion and despair. (2.01)”
“The Supreme Lord [Krishna] said: How has the dejection come to you at this juncture? This is not fit for an Aryan (or the people of noble mind and deeds). It is disgraceful, and it does not lead one to heaven, O Arjuna. (2.02)”
“The Supreme Lord said: You grieve for those who are not worthy of grief, and yet speak the words of wisdom. The wise grieve neither for the living nor for the dead. (2.11). There was never a time when I, you, or these kings did not exist; nor shall we ever cease to exist in the future. (2.12)”
What we do in this life is but part of an unbroken spiral of birth, life on Earth, death, discarnate life, then reincarnation.

In fact, Pauline Latham often replies in that way to her constituents and others:

Solicitor defrauded Legal Aid Fund
What a wonderful multikulti society we live in…is the “solicitor” Indian as such, or a Roma Gypsy of recent Indian origin? Not sure myself. The criminal “partner” is definitely Roma Gypsy.
Seems that the public has become accustomed to the name and refuses to adopt the official “Covid-19” label.
As for our medical and scientific progress, look at this news item from 1918, prior to the arrival in New York of the worldwide “Spanish Flu”, which eventually killed millions.
“Soap and water” (and “fresh air”). Progress? What progress?
Note also the optimistic “will be less violent than [in 1917]”… which turned out to be quite mistaken.
We do not yet know what is going to happen worldwide or in the UK in respect of the present outbreak, but the signs are worrying. The UK government response has been quite flabby: unco-ordinated, while giving out “fake news”, as suited thug Matt Hancock MP (only at the present time could such a person pose as a Cabinet minister), Secretary of State for Health, has done:
“Supermarkets have said Matt Hancockβs claim they will deliverΒ food to those who are self-isolating overΒ coronavirusΒ fears was βtotally made upβ.
The health secretary said during aΒ Question TimeΒ appearance on Thursday that the government was in talks with retailers about home deliveries.
βWe are working with the supermarkets to make sure that, if people are self-isolating, then we will be able to get the food and supplies that they need,β he said.
However, supermarket sources have said they have not been involved in discussions.
βMatt Hancock has totally made up what he said about working with supermarkets,β one executive told the BBC. βWe havenβt heard anything from government directly.β
They said sales of cupboard basics, such as pasta and tinned goods, had βgone through the roofβ.
Teams were working βround the clockβ to keep shelves stocked, he said, adding: βWe are using processes and staffing levels we set up in case of a no-deal Brexit.β
The supermarket exec added: βWhile I think people donβt need to panic buy and should just shop normally, Iβm not sure the government can guarantee all food supply in all instances.β
One senior executive accused Mr Hancock of lying and toldΒ The Times:Β βI am really angry about it.β
Another said the Department of Health had got in touch with his company for the first time on Friday.”
A major problem in both the UK and USA is that the reins of “democratic” power are basically in the hands of idiots.
Trump's obsession with cultivating a false perception that #cornoravirus isnβt a threat has actually cultivated an environment in which it's become an even bigger threat.
He's a simple-minded self-centered egomaniac incapable of longterm critical thought.
In the UK, we have someone posing as “Prime Minister” who shows every sign of repeating and enlarging upon his previous failures as journalist, editor, MP and Foreign Secretary (and that’s without even getting into his personal life), but doing that while intoning a rote-learned Latin or Greek tag, or making a silly joke.
In the end, for Boris-idiot, everything revolves around him, not in the sense of a Stalin, a Hitler, a Napoleon, who were centres of attention and power because they wished to achieve policy ends; in the case of Boris-idiot, the attention/power conflation is simply an end, indeed the end, in itself.
Below, a couple of well-meaning and logical tweets which will be totally ignored in the lemming-like rush to panic-buy:

We dislike the sadists who use dogs to (illegally) root out badgers etc, or those who abuse other animals in the wild or in domestic or farm settings, yet foxhunting still continues despite the (typically) badly-drafted Tony Blair law passed nearly 20 years ago.
Foxhunting is an old and admittedly colourful tradition, which started several hundred years ago after the royals and aristocrats had hunted larger game to extinction or near extinction in the UK, or where such animals had been driven away by farming: bear, wolf, deer etc. It is now an archaic and cruel spectacle and practice which has had its day and should be banned outright.
I have no objection to drag-hunting or trail-hunting, so long as they are not used as an excuse for hunting the fox.
If hunts continue to hunt foxes, they have to be closed down by law.
I might add, that, in view of the illegality which is common in hunts, both in their hunting and in their preparations etc, as well as in the violent way they deal with protestors, they could scarcely complain if a greater degree of direct action were to be used by those opposed to hunting. The police in most rural areas are, at the least, turning blind eyes, or are complicit with the flouting of the hunting law. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Action directe…

Marr and Sophy Ridge
Saw bits of both The Andrew Marr Show (BBC1) and the Sophy Ridgeon Sunday effort (SkyNews). Marr I have always found a peculiar dog’s dinner: a newspaper review, some discussion, one or two political interviews, a showbiz section, then cabaret to finish, the last at 0950 or so on a Sunday morning! For me, the format does not work. Today, the talking heads were
Israeli doormat, Priti Patel’s, former chief of staff (“No, Sir! She was no bully! No, Sir!”, which makes it rather odd that civil servants from three separate departments are lining up to denounce her and in some cases to sue her…); and
a couple of women journalists, neither very interesting and one irritatingly loud as well.
Who is James Starkie who just defended Priti Patel from bullying allegations on the #Marr Show?
After that, there was an interview with a woman in Geneva, maybe Australian or New Zealander, who apparently is an expert in epidemics or something but who had little of interest to say.
Finally, Andrew Marr turned to John McDonnell, who has recovered from the post-election shock (when he looked like a frail pensioner tipped out of his wheelchair and mugged), and who now once again affects that “John Prescott” fake bonhomie that means so…little. McDonnell is very obviously a humourless and unpleasant man.
McDonnell still at least pretends to believe that Labour has a future, even under one of the three not very wise monkeys now contesting the leadership. McDonnell today seemed to me like nothing so much as a bored pianist, hitting most of the right notes but without enthusiasm. Living conditions, pay, poverty etc…No mention of mass immigration, though, which overall is such a terribly negative factor in the UK’s society, stretching NHS, schools, policing, housing and all the other areas. Also, reducing pay for almost everyone. More people seeking jobs means lower pay, overall.
The same applies to more people wanting social security, and every other type of State aid for citizens.
One notices, on Twitter in particular, how many people still look to Labour for socio-political salvation, but they are sadly misguided.
Corbyn was actually better than the “three unwise monkeys” who are now vying for leadership, but he failed to get sufficient voter support (yes, partly by reason of the Jewish campaign against him in the msm and on social media, so be it…).
At present, there is no reason to think that Labour can get greatly (or any) more voter support than it got at the 2019 General Election, though it is true to say that, in a sense, what happened to Labour last year could happen to the Conservative Party next time, meaning 2019 Con-voters staying home (far more Lab voters stayed home in 2019 than switched to Conservative). If that happens next time, Con and Lab could find themselves not far apart, amid voter apathy and/or discontent.
As for Sophy Ridge on Sunday, pretty underwhelming. The lady herself seemed out of her depth and seemed to be reading from a script. Maybe others do that too, but if so they do it in a more polished manner. I was not familiar with her background, so looked her up:
Underwhelming, despite her career success at a relatively young age.
I doubt that I shall become a regular viewer.
A thought out of season
It could be that the Coronavirus peak in the UK will prove to be the biggest boon the criminal milieu has had since the Second World War blackout: police and courts, already stretched to the max, failing to function, streets empty, shops denuded of staff (both ordinary assistants and security staff). Not only that, but (if the epidemic is really bad) witnesses in trials failing to appear because unwell or deceased.
Disturbing people
People who play practical jokes rarely have a sense of humour. The newspaper report below features a couple perfectly happy to make their 3-y-o son unhappy in order to get Facebook “likes”. What appalling and stupid people.
The parents call that “harmless fun”. I think not. What does it teach the child? That it is OK to do silly, cruel things to others because you want to see them suffer? For so-called “fun”? These parents may well find that the seed they have planted turns into a tree which will fall on them in later years…
I find those parents, and others like them, disturbing. This is only a few steps removed from child abuse.
Labour Party poll
“Jeremy Corbyn is bequeathing his successor a Labour Party so out of touch with mainstream British values that almost half of its members are βashamedβ of their own countryβs history, according to a new poll. After four years with Mr Corbyn at the helm, barely one in three of the Labour faithful are proud of the nationβs past, compared to more than 50 per cent of voters.” [Daily Mail, citing a YouGov poll]
“More than half of Brits β 53 per cent β were proud of the last 300 years of the nationβs history. But only 29 per cent of Labour members agreed, while 48 per cent of them said Britainβs past in that period was something to be ashamed of.” [Daily Mail]
I see two factors at work here. First of all, “Brits” in this context will include the blacks, browns, and all the rest who have flooded in (or been born here) in the past half century or so. They are not fully “British”, not really. Why should these aliens feel patriotic about our country?
Apart from that, there is the basically anti-British bias in education. Nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale eclipsed by (black woman) Mary Seacole, who ran a tea-room for officers during the Crimean War. Just one of many examples.
Anyway, it is clear that the Labour Party is in a slow but probably terminal decline. So is the Conservative Party, though.
My attention has been caught by a recent tweet from a Brexit Party MEP previously unknown to me:
My colleague in the European parliament @MagicMagid arranged a charity dinner in support of @RefugeeRescue saving refugees in the Mediterranean. I could not attend the dinner but have instead made a donation. I urge you to do the same!
At first, I thought that that tweet was a fake and/or a parody, or perhaps tweeted in a spirit of satire. No. It is real and it is meant to be taken at face-value. The bastard really is urging Brexit Party members, supporters and voters (of which I am notΒ and have never been one, by the way) to give money to one of the organizations ferrying migrant-invaders across the Mediterranean from North Africa to civilized Europe.
When many people who support —or did until now support— Brexit Party criticized Nielsen’s support for this people-ferrying soi-disant “charity”, the new MEP’s response was textbook System-politician:
For all those who made racist remarks in response to my earlier tweets about a charity I have supported- you have no place in the Brexit Party. We are an open, diverse and inclusive party with no space for discrimination or abuse. Get on board, or get out.
The thread of further comments on Twitter is worth reading. All UK political life is there, from well-meaning but stupid ladies (sitting in suburban or rural comfort) who just want to emote about “saving children”, and the sort of basically malicious “anti-racist” idiots (Jewish or otherwise) who want as many non-Europeans as possible to invade the EU and especially the UK, to more sensible people who see that the UK’s population has increased from about 55 million in the 1980s to about 65 million or even 70 million now, most of which is via immigration and from births not only to immigrants but also now to theirΒ children and indeed to those children’s children (a demographic time-bomb: experts now say that European-race, i.e. white, people will be in the minority in the UK by 2070 at latest. My guess? 2040. Already some British cities are minority-white).
That does not, it seems, alarm Henrik Nielsen.
Nielsen was born in 1959 in Copenhagen, is 60 years of age and was at one time the head of the anti-EU campaign in Denmark. Why he opposes the EU I do not know. He seems rather at home as an MEP.
Nielsen is married to one Sharon Ruth Bierer, also a dentist, born in London and who has been a director of dental-oriented companies in London. The name Bierer is often of Jewish origin, but not always. Nielsen and his wife have two adult children, Jacob and Laura, the latter of which is, remarkably, the policy director of Labour Leave, the Labour Party pro-Brexit organization.
Nielsen and his wife own a rather pleasant-looking villa in Puglia (Apulia), southern Italy, which they rent out at Β£300+ per day.
I agree there with tweeter “Reimer Bard”. Brexit Party is faux-nationalist even as compared to its previous incarnation, UKIP.
Finally, the person that Nielsen is supporting in his tweets is this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magid_MagidΒ . A Somali immigrant who claims to have funded a “gap year” by working for only 9 weeks (at 12 hours a day). I suppose that it is just about possible.
Brexit Party
I have blogged several times before about Brexit Party, about its stellar explosion onto the UK political scene, about Farage’s impressive public meetings, about its possible impact on the Conservative vote etc; its EU elections success. I have also chronicled its lack of direct success so far in Westminster by-elections: Peterborough, and then Brecon and Radnorshire. That “close but no cigar” aspect has deflated the Brexit Party bubble somewhat, as has the noise around the person I am pleased to call Boris-Idiot and around the whole current Brexit hullabaloo.
Let’s look again at Brexit Party. It is or is owned by a private companyΒ itself controlled by Nigel Farage. In that it has similarity to Momentum, the Labour Party group, which is, or is owned by, a company itself controlled by a couple of Jews.
I have blogged before about the fact that Brexit Party is a party without policy (save for leaving the EU). That is both its strength (i.e. a clear message) and its weakness (the voting public has concerns other than just the EU and Brexit).
I have blogged about not only the strange policy-free nature of Brexit Party but also about its strange mixture of candidates. No less than three out of the Brexit Party EU elections candidates were former Revolutionary Communist Party members (one, Claire Fox, a defender of the IRA Warrington bombing, is now a Brexit Party MEP). Some Brexit Party candidates were of non-European ethnicity, and some of those are now MEPs, including a couple of Jews and a Pakistani.
It is hard to see the ethnic, cultural or ideological ties binding the Brexit Party MEPs inter se. Even the faux-“libertarian” “small state”-ism of many of them does not seem to fit all.
There seem to be more than just a few links between Brexit Party and the Trump set-up.
What is really behind Brexit Party? There is already a Brexit Party Friends of Israel organization. What is the gameplan? To offset any real nationalist upsurge by containing it in the Brexit Party box? Possibly. It worked with UKIP…
Brexit Party electorally
To my mind, the Brexit Party upsurge bubble has been, if not burst, then somewhat punctured, and so partly-deflated. Farage has made the mistake of sitting on the fence between outright support for Boris-Idiot’s supposed Brexitism, and opposition to the Conservative Party. That has weakened Brexit Party to some extent. All the same, and cruciallyΒ in a situation where is is no real social-national or even small-c conservative-national party, voters in England and Wales are going to have the usual false choice in the next general election: the System parties, or joke candidates such as Monster Raving Loonies and tiny socialist or other parties, or…Brexit Party. It may be that, in desperation, many will vote Brexit Party.
At present, Brexit Party is not breaking through re. Westminster. The latest two polls (published today and yesterday) put the figures as:
make a Conservative majority of either 38 or 46 (I have taken the Scottish results as 50% SNP).
This is frightening. It means that, were there no significant change in the polling, there could be a Boris-Idiot ZOG/NWO [Zionist Occupation Government/New World Order] dystopian regime, an elected dictatorship, in place by the end of the year. If that happens, democracy in any real sense will have died and only determined non-electoral resistance will be able to fight against it.
Having said that, polling often narrows before an election, but Labour is going to have to pull its socks up “majorly” (to use a Trump-ism) if it is going to keep even its present complement of MPs. I suppose that the silver lining would be that many pro-Zionist Labour MPs would go, but that would be little comfort to the British people ruled over by a ZOG dictatorship.
What about Brexit Party itself? Its polling is running between 10% and 15%, which is nowhere. At present, it has no prospect of getting MPs and would have to raise its game to about 25% across the board before getting even a small bloc of MPs. That is not impossible, but if British people see Brexit Party MEPs (who may not even be British by origin…) lecturing them on the supposed “goodness” of supporting migration-invasion etc, the polling will not improve and may even decline in percentage terms.
No social-national party, no conservative-national party, the Conservative Party a ZOG/NWO regime in the making, Labour the party mainly of the blacks and browns, the LibDems supporting both finance-capitalism and migration-invasion, and fake-nationalist Brexit Party joining the multikulti “celebrations”…
The Remainers’ intellectual dishonesty, exposed in a tweet from an emeritus Professor of Government, no less; nailed by Andrew Neil…
Both sides fought the referendum on the basis they would regard the result as binding; and it was on that basis that people voted. Show me any Leaver or Remainer who said it was just a big state-sponsored opinion poll and could be ignored. https://t.co/ElwoARYP9X
βIf you look at the more genuinely Welsh areas, especially the Welsh-speaking ones, they did not want to leave the EU,β Dorling told theΒ Sunday Times. βWales was made to look like a Brexit-supporting nation by its English settlers.β
I wonder what The Guardian would say about any analysis of UK voting patterns (in general elections, as well as referenda) that called areas with huge numbers of blacks and browns etc “not genuinely English”? Or described the blacks, browns, Chinese etc as “settlers”…For that matter, what about any analysis of voting patterns in North London that referred to “its Jewish settlers”?
A few more tweets
The real problem here was that direct populist democracy, i.e. the 2016 Referendum, was grafted onto the longstanding system of representative democracy (elected MPs, political parties, Parliament). It’s like a train trying to run on lines of the wrong gauge. Or to put it another way, trying to graft a pear to an apple.
WATCH | "There has been an active conspiracy by the political class to stop a real Brexit. There was a clear majority for Brexit in the referendum, however we have a House of Commons that was 75% Remain" – legendary historian David Starkey hits the nail on the head! pic.twitter.com/F1LX5Y4ICa
The conclusion of that article is that Boris Johnson will be forced to a general election before very long. Unlike msm talking heads, we have no need to say “whoever is the next Prime Minister”: the system is broken, the 100,000 elderly people actually given a vote love “Boris”, and so we, the other 65 million, are having imposed upon us the least honest, least competent, least loyal, least decent, least worthy, least genuinely British Prime Minister in living memory, perhaps ever.
The crunch is coming, but Boris Johnson has never kept to any “pledge” or promise, whether political or personal, so will not be bound by his “Leave EU by 31 October 2019” one either, in my view.
No-deal Brexit is not inevitable β our new prime minister will still have options | Charles Grant https://t.co/LL9hFUtC4A
As I have blogged previously, Boris Johnson likes to be presented as a strong maverick character, whereas in fact he is actually rather weak: weak in logic, weak in general knowledge, weak in resolve, weak in ethical standards, weak politically.
Philip Hammond puts it more diplomatically: ” βHe is actually a more complex personality than it sometimes seems,β Hammond said of Johnson in his interview. βHe is a mainstream conservative on all topics except Brexit. I very much regret his attitude to Brexit. His own story, which is multicultural, multinational and liberal, speaks for itself.” [The Guardian].
Hammond’s words of course are two-edged and allude to Johnson’s part-Jew, part-Muslim, born-in-USA (and brought up largely in USA and Belgium) background, as well as his loose and indeed louche morality.
I may be overthinking this, because I do not see Boris Johnson as a determined —or indeed any sort of— planner (except in terms of trying to become Prime Minister for the past 20+ years), but I wonder whether Johnson foresaw that the Commons would block fulfilment of his “Brexit on WTO terms by 31 October” so-called “pledge”? After all, it would hardly require clairvoyance. The House of Commons has a large Remain majority.
If Boris Johnson “pledges” to leave on WTO terms on 31 October 2019 and if that is then blocked by the Remain majority in the Commons, Johnson can then sigh loudly in public and say “I did my best, but have been stabbed in the back by all those pro-EU MPs…”, thus absolving him from blame for not “delivering Brexit” (the EU will very likely grant further “extensons” etc…). Johnson can then present himself as the Tribune of the People, fighting the corrupt Remain MPs. A hero to fools…
From Johnson’s point of view, perfect. No need to actually negotiate with people who are more intelligent, more knowledgeable, better prepared than Johnson himself ever is, no need to put in much effort and, finally, also parking tanks on the lawn of Farage and Brexit Party (that less certain, though).
What if it goes wrong for Boris-Idiot and there is a no-confidence vote? I am wondering whether the prospect of this stupid clown as Prime Minister, even leaving aside Brexit, might not be enough to make some Conservative Party MPs abstain in a no-confidence vote. I would not bet against it.
If Labour put forward a no-confidence vote, and if that succeeds, it might not mean an immediate general election. The Conservatives can put forward another, less obviously clownish MP as their prime ministerial choice. If all the Conservatives and all the DUP support that person, then that freezes out Corbyn and Labour for a while.
What if there is a general election? If Brexit Party put up a fairly full slate of candidates in England, and if at least some form of Brexit has not happened by then, there might well be an explosion of rage from the half of the country (more than half) that voted Leave in 2016. That explosion might well not spare the Conservatives who have so badly handled the Brexit negotiations for the past 3 years. After all, that inept performance calls to mind the other stupidities of the past decade.
Scotland seems likely to vote at least 40% SNP in a general election, creating (maintaining) a bloc of about 40-50 Westminster MPs. As for England and Wales, if you take out the blacks and browns (etc), and you take out London (and Gibraltar, which has no votes in Westminster elections), the Leave vote was around 70%. What does this mean?
First of all, Brexit is not the only issue. The socio-economic problems of the country play more to Labour’s advantage. What is letting down Labour electorally now is that it is seen to be largely the party of the blacks and browns, the immigrants and their offspring, as well as public service workers, and those reliant on State benefits. I speak in broad-brush terms of course.
The people who are voting Labour now and might vote Labour in any 2019 general election are concentrated in quite few seats, about 200-250, but some polls are saying that only 40% of 2017 Labour voters will vote Labour if there is a general election this year. Translating that into seats is not easy, but it could mean a substantial reduction from the position now.
The above is however affected by the effect Brexit Party might have on the Conservative vote, bearing in mind that, as with Labour, as high as 60% of 2017 Conservative voters say that they will not be voting Con next time.
If Brexit Party puts up candidates all over England and Wales, and scores at least 15% nationwide, the present 312 Conservative seats will reduce to about 250 and possibly fewer. Most will fall to the LibDems or Labour, but no doubt Brexit Party could win a few too. If Brexit Party can score 20%+ nationwide, then there might be only 150 Conservative MPs left.
We are in minority, possibly coalition, territory. Either
Labour + SNP or
Labour + LibDems; or
Conservative + Brexit Party or
Conservative + LibDems
One intriguing fact is that Boris Johnson is apparently marginally more popular with Brexit Party members than he is with Conservative Party members.
My guess today (in this volatile climate, one alters perceptions almost daily) is that it is a race between Labour’s vote (especially in the North) collapsing and the Conservative vote collapsing in much of the country, and weakened further by the existence of Brexit Party (even if Brexit Party itself scarcely wins a seat).
I cannot see Boris-Idiot lasting for long as Prime Minister— he is completely unsuited for such a position; but having said that, the country has already gone half-mad…
Postscript
I had scarcely published the above when, about an hour after that, the Guardian published the report below:
Nearly two years later from when I wrote the above blog post, we look back at the December 2019 General Election and see that most of the analysis was correct. What made the prediction of Conservative Party electoral collapse misfire was the event few —if any— predicted, meaning that Nigel Farage, snake oil salesman, stabbed his own party in the back, and withdrawing from active participation the majority of Brexit Party candidates, all of whom had actually paid for their own deposits (and more)!
All or almost all Conservative Party candidates were given a clear run by Brexit Party. Brexit Party candidates in some formerly Labour seats where the Conservative Party was always unlikely to win, were allowed to stand, as in Hartlepool, where the Brexit Party 2-i-c, Richard Tice, came a very close third and, had the party not been killed by its own leader, might have pulled off an historic coup in a seat Labour-held since it was created. Farage’s actions destroyed Brexit Party credibility during the campaign.
The net result was that, with most intended Brexit Party votes going to Conservative candidates, the Con Party achieved a huge 80-seat overall majority. Many Conservative candidates, especially in the North, won by fewer than 2,000 votes. Had Brexit Party put up more than a token fight, the Conservative Party might well not have achieved a majority at all.
As for Nigel Farage, after his treachery in 2019, he had the gall to wind up Brexit Party (literally, since it was set up as a private company) and start yet another party, Reform Party or Reform UK, which he then abandoned when offered a great deal of money in business. An out and out, controlled-opposition, con-man.
