Back in the mid-1980s, I sometimes enjoyed Spitting Image [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting_Image]. The sort of real cutting satire that would simply not be allowed today, much of it. In any case, with the sort of events we now see (eg Biden’s funny but also sad descent into the fog), any similar show today would have to fight hard to compete with what is actually happening in front of our eyes.
True, Reagan was not the most-obviously intelligent world leader, but the satirical treatment of him was deliberately “over the top”; whatever his flaws, he was not in the grip of a dementia-related condition plainly visible whenever he spoke in public.
I have not seen the more recently remade Spitting Image but I doubt that it pokes fun at the kind of non-political targets the 1980s original did, e.g. black “rap” performers. I admit that I am guessing, though. The remake is not broadcast on mainstream TV.
Zelenskyy Calls on NATO Allies to Remove Restrictions on Strikes Into Russiahttps://t.co/DikGEKi0oX

The regime of that evil little bastard has only one main chance— to drag NATO into the war. That might mean a slide into a nuclear confrontation before very long.
If the Kiev regime starts to attack Russian cities far from the front line, the response might be that Ukrainian cities in the western part of Ukraine, west of the Dnieper, might be attacked and even destroyed.
So far, Russia has not launched all-out attack on Kiev, partly because of its role in Russian history, but if major Russian cities start to be bombarded, that may change.
I predicted, a couple of years ago, on the blog, that Russia would start to degrade the electrical production and distribution network across Ukraine. That is now being intensified, and is a far more intelligent way of waging war than the more brutal and harsh —and less effective— choice of attacking directly the homes and neighbourhoods of the Ukrainian civilians.
If the Kiev regime starts to badly damage Russian cities away from the front line —especially Moscow, Petersburg and surrounding territories— the Russian response could be devastating enough to bring NATO into the war on some pretext such as Poland suffering damage. Were that to happen, all of us would be but a step away from a Russia-NATO war, which is being pushed by secret circles within the West. Such a war, which would quite likely go nuclear within weeks, would change Europe and the world forever.

Must admit I certainly worry for my kids. The future does not look that great given Labours decisions over the last week.
I was just looking at Twitter/X, which is alive today with Twitter-twits attacking Reform UK and, particularly, belittling Reform for, as it were, pretending to be a serious political party when it “only” has 5 MPs.
As recently as June 2024, the LibDems only had 11 MPs, and had only 8 from 2015 until 2017.
As for the SNP, from its foundation in the early 1930s and until 1970, about 37 years (!), the SNP had no MPs at all; in 1970, the SNP managed to have elected 1 MP. The MP-cadre of the SNP then varied from 2 to (1974 to 1979) 11 MPs in the years 1974 to 2015, but mostly stuck at 2 or 3 MPs until 1997, when the SNP bloc increased its numbers, this time to 6 MPs. When the FPTP tipping-point was reached in 2015, the SNP mushroomed from 6 MPs to 56 (out of 59 Scottish MPs) overnight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#House_of_Commons.
Apart from those comparisons, the Twitter-twits might like to consider what this blog has been saying for the past week, as have some others (though not enough) even in the msm: Labour did not win by some kind of popular “landslide”, but only in terms of seats conferred by a totally unfit-for-purpose electoral system.
As noted on the blog in past days, at GE 2024 the Conservative Party only got (just over) 1.5x the number/percentage of votes of Reform UK, and even Labour only got (below) 2.5x the Reform UK vote-share.
As put on the blog the other day, out of every 20 eligible voters, only 12 even voted.
In very rough terms, out of that eligible 20 voters, 8 voters abstained, 4 voters voted Lab, 3 voters voted Con, 2 voters voted Reform, 2 voters voted LibDem, and 1 voter voted Green.
Not exactly, and “other parties were available”, but 90.29% of UK voters voted for one of those 5 parties. In England specifically, about 97% of voters voted Lab, Con, Reform, LibDem or Green.
The Twitter-Twits tweeting about Reform UK are mostly Labour supporters who belittle Reform because only 2 out of every 12 voters who voted voted for it, yet only 4 out of 12 (4 out of 20 if you count the abstainers) voted Labour.
I happened to notice one particular Twitter/X account, one “@RobBaron10”, who today (as of 1430) has already managed to put out about 29 Twitter/X “replies”, almost all angrily insulting, and all or almost all completely brainless. I have to say that I am loath to give much credence to someone whose Twitter/X profile says “Retired lecturer in philosophy trying to live a low-impact lifestyle. Despises the far-right and social injustice. Responds in the tone responded to.” Especially when said “retired lecturer in philosophy” thinks that “toe the line” is spelled “tow the line“…
More seriously, if Starmer-Labour MPs and supporters think that the absurd result of GE 2024 gives Starmer the right to impose a “woke”, and also Israel-lobby, tyranny on the people of the UK, he and they are very much mistaken.
Remember those figures— only 4 out of 12 who voted (<34%) voted Labour; only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters (~20%) voted Labour.

I agree with that “@chelleryn99” tweet.
As with “Boris”-idiot, there is something of the onion, or the matrioshka, about Starmer. Several layers, but nothing (or something quite different and/or alien) at the centre.
Performative Labour tribalist (who however always looks uncomfortable with that), one-time criminal defence barrister turned high-level public prosecution lawyer, the not-quite-true faux-proletarian background (parents not so poor, and who sent him to a partly fee-paying school in a good part of Surrey), the (half-) Polish-Jewish wife, and the children brought up as if fully-Jewish… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Starmer.
“Lady Starmer is Jewish and Sir Keir has talked about keeping the tradition of family Friday night dinners, where they are often joined by her father for prayers.“
So I suppose that Starmer wears one of those little skullcaps, a yarmulka (I think) on such occasions? Maybe, maybe not. I have not seen anything as to whether all attendees at such dinners do or not. The Jewish prayer part of that paragraph seems to suggest that Starmer does wear such headgear but (needless to say) I have never seen a photo of him wearing it.
“The YouGov/Sky News poll asked this week whether voters thought he would be a good or bad prime minister. Almost half – 47% – said bad. The older the voter, the more pessimistic they are.
Sir Keir is starting from a low base – not as bad as Rishi Sunak, but still bad. By contrast, only 33% said they thought he’d be good.
That level of enthusiasm suggests Sir Keir may not enjoy much of a public opinion honeymoon, just at a point where he is likely to have to start by making difficult decisions, most notably on raising taxes.
One of the themes of this election has been the party’s clarity that while it will promise not to raise income tax, national insurance and corporation tax, no such bar exists on other taxes.“
[Sky News]
He will probably raise the level of VAT. Even a 1% rise would harvest a huge amount of money. Pretty tough on poorer people, though…Maybe an increase in fuel duty, too (sold —or not— to the public as “green”, of course…).
Where is Starmer, ideologically?
“Starmer’s politics have been described as unclear and “hard to define”.[142][143][144] When he was elected as Labour leader, Starmer was widely believed to belong to the soft left of the Labour Party.[145] However, he has since moved to the political centre-ground.[146][147] By the September 2023 shadow cabinet reshuffle, most analysts concluded that Starmer had moved to the right of the party, and had demoted and marginalised those on the soft left, replacing them with Blairites.[148][149][150][128][127]
So, again, Starmer is impossible to pin down. Not socialist, not really even a social-democrat, yet also without any of the respect for private enterprise or private views that one used to see in the “small-c” conservatives.
“In April 2023, Starmer gave an interview to The Economist on defining Starmerism.[152][154] In this interview, two main strands of Starmerism were identified.[154]
The first strand focused on a critique of the British state for being too ineffective and over-centralised. The answer to this critique was to base governance on five main missions to be followed over two terms of government; these missions would determine all government policy.
Boiled down, what that seems to suggest is another Iain Dunce Duncan Smith-style attempt to harry the poor, sick, disabled (and the middle-aged not yet of State Pension age) to poorly-paid work “opportunities”, while cutting back social security “welfare” payments harshly. Also, Starmer will cave in to the any demands of the EU.
There is no obvious suggestion that Starmer and Rachel Reeves are interested in the effect of robotics and AI, which together may destroy existing jobs by the million, thus positing the need for Basic Income.
The last strand featured is as bad, or worse: caving in to the demands of the housebuilding industry.
Starmer will probably allow the large housebuilding companies to spread their expensive but often jerry-built “little boxes, made of ticky-tacky” across the English countryside.
Starmer will no doubt talk about the “housing crisis” but fail to note that most of that is consequential upon the migration invasion (a million or more every year now). Sajid Javid, another pro-Israel puppet (now washed-up politically), also showed himself unwilling to see the facts:
Try 10-15 million (over the past 25 years, including births to immigrants)…
As to the mass immigration influx itself, Starmer-Labour will eventually stop most of the cross-Channel small-boat invasion by the simple expedient of setting up “processing centres” (maybe simple offices) in Northern France. There, the would-be invaders will, almost all of them, have their applications to enter the UK rubber-stamped.
At present, 80% of those arriving here and claiming “asylum” have their applications approved anyway (under a system that was out of date decades ago), so Starmer will simply lower the bar even further so that 90% or 95% are approved (filtering out, it will be claimed, any known criminals or terrorists— all bs of course). The public will then be sedated into complacency— far fewer “small boats” (or invaders ferried in by the RNLI, Navy, Border “Farce” etc) will be seen arriving.
In fact, the more obvious criminal/terrorist invaders will still arrive, using the “small boat” or “back of truck” methods, but the numbers will be only about a twentieth of the number now arriving. As to the rest, armed with their new Starmer-visas, they will just take the ordinary ferries.
Of course, Starmer will not “solve” the migration-invasion crisis, but just cover it up. That is what he does. There is a massive dishonesty lurking in Starmer.
More? “Starmer has pledged to halve the rates of violence against women and girls, halve the rates of serious violent crime, halve the incidents of knife crime, increase confidence in the criminal justice system, and create a ‘Charging Commission’ which would be “tasked with coming up with reforms to reverse the decline in the number of offences being solved”.[190] He has also committed to placing specialist domestic violence workers in the control rooms of every police force responding to 999 calls to support victims of abuse.[191]
After confirming he would not scrap the current two-child benefit cap, Starmer was criticised by many within his own party.[193]“
[Wikipedia]
There is a thread there, a thread of antipathy to civil rights; a thread of authoritarianism .
Remember how Starmer wanted even fiercer, more restrictive, and longer-lasting “lockdowns” during the 2020-2022 currency of the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic?
My response?
There are times in history when authoritarian government is inescapable; even outright —though temporary— dictatorship. However, that should not be the norm, particularly in a country such as the UK, with its history of gradually-broadening rights and freedoms.
In other words, Starmer is a “chosen” part of the whole NWO/ZOG matrix, and that of course includes the plan to destroy the future of the European peoples, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.
Starmer may take part in Jewish pre-prandial or post-prandial (?) prayers (as he has stated) but, once again, that seems to be something merely performative with him, he being an atheist anyway.
Foreign policy is easy to predict: Starmer was willing to say that the “Israelis” have every right to shut off even water to the suffering children of Gaza. He is a Jewish-lobby and Israel-lobby puppet. Completely.
Other than that, Starmer will do whatever the “Americans” (the USA’s ruling circles and cabals) want him to do. So… “support” for Israel, “support” (money, arms etc ) for “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) etc.
Incidentally, there is much election bs being talked by Labour Party supporters as to how Labour will be a kinder sort of government than that of Sunak’s clowns. I doubt it. I would not put anyone in charge of such as Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, and the other Labour Friends of Israel types. As to Starmer, his support for Israel cutting off food and even water to the women and children of devastated Gaza shows just how far his much-trumpeted “compassion” goes…
If Starmer is willing to cut off food and water to the suffering civilians of Gaza, what might he be willing to do to the people of the UK?
I see no real centre to Starmer; even his doglike loyalty to Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby seems performative, yet that is the only thing that seems to mean anything at all to him.
Starmer displays no obvious ideological loyalty (as such), no old-fashioned class-loyalty (to any social class or category), and no religious loyalty (an atheist, presumably originally Church of England).
Who, really, is this?
It is hard, of course, to see evil in someone as dull as Starmer, despite the oft-quoted words of Hannah Arendt about “the banality of evil“. The expectation, I think misguided, is that Evil, whether cosmic or on the mundane plane, will somehow be more interesting than the Good.
Starmer should worry people, not because he has expressed any particularly “evil”, or even “bad” ideas (he even weaselled ab out cutting off water to families in Gaza, tried to evade the question etc), or some kind of (obviously) sinister ideological base, but more because he, like those he gathers closely around him, has no ideas beyond the most shallow. Someone trying to be elected (in effect) as Prime Minister is expected to come up with at least a few ideas, if not a coherent ideology, and Starmer either does not or cannot.
Will Starmer-Labour create a better Britain? No. I see a harsher, more intrusive police state likely to emerge. Mass immigration will continue, perhaps in even greater volume, and our towns and cities will, despite the encroaching police state, become no-go areas policed by even-less responsive paramilitary police.
Economically? A gradual downturn. The spending cuts agenda apparently very likely, combined with the cost of the continuing migration invasion of parasites, as well as the backfire effect of sanctions against Russia will ensure that.
Starmer’s government will, as predicted by Matt Goodwin, become very unpopular very quickly. However, in the absence of any real Opposition in the Commons (the Con —or possibly LibDem— official Opposition, post-GE 2024, may have only about 50 MPs), it may be possible for social nationalism to make real headway outside, in the “real world”.
Election notes
Well, we now know that 4 July 2024 is to be the fateful day. Is it a co-incidence that that is Independence Day in the USA? Does the choice of day have some symbolic, even occultic, significance? Maybe not, but there seems to be no obvious reason for that day to be the day.

SNP: "We believe decisions about Scotland should be made in Scotland by people who live in Scotland"*
*which is why we want all those decisions to be made in Brussels
Ha. Quite. Scotland, were it to vote for the SNP’s faux-“Independence”, would not be governed by Westminster, true, but it would be governed by the EU, by American or NWO/ZOG influence (NATO etc), by the international banking system etc, and domestically probably by a Pakistani “Scotsman”. Who are the SNP trying to fool? The Scottish people, I suppose.
I see that the SNP is now predicted to win as few as 12 seats (out of 57) this year, from 48 (out of 59) won in 2019. I think that the SNP has had its day as an overwhelming force in Scotland. In 2015, it suddenly shot into prominence with 56 out of 59 Scottish Westminster seats, but the last 9 years have been riven with scandal and underperformance. Above all, not only has Independence not happened, fewer Scots now support it than did a decade ago; it is a minority cause.

“BREAKING | The new Dutch cabinet just nominated top justice ministry official and former intelligence chief Dick Schoof as the “preferred candidate” for Prime Ministership. And the situation is bad. Real bad.
Dick Schoof – or “Mr. Deepstate” as I’d like to call him – is the former head of the Dutch Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) as well as the former national coordinator of the counter-terrorism unit (NCTV) which is known to focus on combatting “anti-government extremism”. As if that isn’t bad enough, he was also: – behind the Dutch covid regime – involved in the Trump-Russia hoax – behind the cover-up of flight MH17 reports – spying on Dutch citizens here on@X with fake accounts operated by the government.
He’s currently the secretary-general at the Ministry of Justice and Security, which makes him the highest ranking civil servant. He’s quite literally the personification of a technocratic bureaucrat and, – being a former member of the Dutch Labour party – the exact opposite of what the Dutch population has voted for during the elections last November.
@geertwilderspvv should have never given up his rightful claim to Prime Ministership. With a man like this leading the country I’m sure the digital surveillance state we’ve been warning for all these years will be here sooner than expected.”

Yes. One frequently sees Jews on Twitter etc [pretending to be] upset that “their family” died, or were displaced, or inconvenienced, during the early 1940s; people that those descended from them and alive today never knew, of course.
British or German people just do not weaponize (or, indeed, monetize via books, films, “reparations”, and “restitution”) their family histories in that way.

British (and German) people accept such events as historical, and do not constantly try to use them as tags on which to hang contemporary socio-political issues.

This post by Andrew Neil yesterday spells out the cost and reward of failure. Its a scandal!
Holyrood serves no purpose other than to fill the trough for politicians, who otherwise would not survive in the real world of work.
Only 14% of the Welsh support the use of gender quotas when selecting political candidates. Again, woke ideas are nowhere near as popular as elites think (YouGov).
Strange minor incident. Taking a nap this afternoon, after having had a very early start today, I was awoken by a knock at the door of our tiny flat (the days of country houses and Caribbean villas being now long gone). I heard my wife agreeing to donate to the county’s air ambulance charity.
I was rather suspicious about the man at the door wanting bank details “to set up a direct debit“, so intervened and told the fellow that we would give another way. He left with superficial politeness; I could see that he was unhappy at being challenged (though I am not particularly aggressive).
I was concerned, so thought to call the police on their 101 non-emergency service. It then took something like 20 minutes to get beyond the recorded messages and just to get to talk to a human being (a pleasant-sounding lady) from the police and give her the details.
I also tried, twice, to telephone the air ambulance charity people themselves but, after an initial recorded message, was informed “your call cannot be transferred” and an unobtainable signal.
I looked up what the CEO of that charity gets paid: about £119,000 a year.
That small incident was typical of the way in which everything in this country is so screwed and just does not work. For a start, the air ambulance should be an official service, not a ragbag of private charities across the UK.
Secondly, it should be illegal for fundraisers to go around knocking on doors like itinerant gypsies. The public need to be protected.
Thirdly, how is it that the CEO of such a small charity (30 employees) gets a fairly generous salary? Yet their only public telephone number is non-operational. It’s poor.
There are too many boondoggles around, to use the American phrase. The “Major Tom” nonsense, with the quasi-fraudulent daughter and son-in-law, has surely brought that to public attention.
Fourthly, the police are almost absent when you need them. At the same time, the county police have apparently spent many many hours snooping upon and “monitoring” this blog, as they do the social media posts of others. The police need to get back to doing actual, real police work.
As a matter of fact, the Police and Crime Commissioner for the county will be elected this week. At present, it is some useless and enormous woman, a Conservative Party member.

If the Kiev regime imagines that a new army of forced and unwilling recruits will save the day, it is very much mistaken.
When the weather is warmer, and the Stavka gives the order, it is likely that the Russian armies in the east will start to roll, covered by massive artillery barrages and air cover. Any new forces recruited by the Kiev regime will simply be rolled over.

Damn. This week I was, for once, beaten by political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 8/10; I scored 7/10, and did not know the answers to questions 3, 8, and 9 (in fact, I should also have got no. 9 right, but I had forgotten about his existence).
Sam Melia and Laura Towler
[Laura Towler with her husband, Sam Melia, and their little child; another is expected within weeks, while Melia is in prison]
Most readers will know the facts of the case: Sam Melia sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 2 years, of which he will probably have to serve 8-12 months, while Laura Towler struggles with her child —soon, two children— everyday life, her house (she may have a mortgage, I do not know), and her small business. Therefore, a crowdfunder was set up to help her at such a time of crisis. That fund has now reached, at time of writing, £58,972, and still rising. Excellent.
The monies raised will go towards helping the couple survive the year ahead, and get them back on their feet after Melia is released. In addition, no doubt a small part of the money will be directed to helping him while he remains in prison.
Anyone can send modest sums to those in prison, via an official programme, using a debit card: see https://www.gov.uk/send-prisoner-money. To use that service, you need the prisoner’s name, his official prison number, and his date of birth. I have no idea of the date of birth of Sam Melia, but Laura Towler, Mark Collett, or Patriotic Alternative would be able to supply it (I am myself unacquainted with the couple, or Patriotic Alternative people, so have no contact details).
Message about Sam Melia from Laura Towler
Laura Towler has posted a message about her husband’s present situation:
“We can now write letters to Sam
I’ve just spoken to Sam. He is in HMP Leeds. He won’t be staying there for the whole of his sentence but it might take a while for him to move. He’s safe and has made friends. He’s been exercising and reading a lot. He says the worst thing (other than missing us) is that it’s quite boring, although the library is pretty good. He said he would appreciate letters from people to help pass the time. Please don’t get too political or the letter won’t get through.
Samuel Melia A3370FC HMP Leeds, 2 Gloucester Terrace, Stanningley Road, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS12 2TJ
You can include a stamped address envelope in the first letter if you want him to write back.
We can also send him books from their preferred suppliers and also email him. I’ll provide some more information on this shortly.“
The “men behind the wire”
I also happened to see the following, which may have been written also by Laura Towler (if not, then by associates of hers):
“I know I have posted about Sam a lot over the last few days but here are the addresses for Sven Longshanks and James Costello who are both serving time for the same public order offence as Sam. Sven will be out this summer hopefully but Costello still has over two years of his sentence left to serve, so he needs us the most.
It’s sometimes difficult to think about things to write as you can’t get too political but they are both intelligent men with an interest in history, literature and culture. They might appreciate a poem you like, information about what’s happening on the outside, or even just a message to say you are thinking about them and they are missed.“
Details below for both James Allchurch (“Sven Longshanks”), and James Costello.
Incidentally, “Sven Longshanks” (imprisoned for having published internet podcasts) also has a crowdfunder, both to help him survive in prison and to get him back on his feet when released (expected to be this spring or summer): https://www.givesendgo.com/SupportSven.
Also incidentally, I myself am due to be sentenced this week, in my case in the magistrates’ court, and for the political offence of having breached the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (recommended for repeal by the Law Commission but still at present on the Statute Book).

Sentenced to two years, not for the content of any of the stickers he distributed –all of which were deemed not worthy grounds for prosecution– but for the 'intent' behind them. Sam Melia was sentenced for thought crimes. Sam Melia did nothing wrong. https://t.co/L3bkHt6vs5
David Atherton says that “the law” is trying to shut down “the debate“. Behind “the law” and the Bench, and the CPS, and the police, is (in 90+% of such cases in the UK) the Jewish/Zionist lobby.
Also, this is not a “debate” but a war (so far a cold war most of the time).
Incidentally, many imagine that I just hate Israel and anything to do with it. Not so, as such. I like some of the Israeli town planning, and the efforts made to green the cities and towns; also, I like some of the modern architecture, and some of the agricultural, horticultural and hydrological techniques and projects (irrigation, de-salinization etc).
By the same token, I have only limited respect for many of the Arabs of the wider region (I have been to Egypt, Qatar etc several times, and, in the past, had occasional dealings with Kuwaitis and other types, as well as a few visits to Tunisia).
However, the Jews should never have been allowed or encouraged to take over Palestine and turn it into the state of Israel, and their brutal repression of the Arab inhabitants (including mass killings, deportations, and other “ethnic cleansing”) has been, in effect, a 76+ year war crime.
“What goes around comes around“, as the Americans say, and I think that the time will come when Israel will face fleets of drones and missiles, numbered in the tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands.

“Macron discussed with French politicians a possible French invasion of Ukraine.
The leader of the French Communist Party, Fabien Roussel, told reporters that the topic was raised at a meeting between the president and the heads of political parties.
According to him, Macron allowed the entry of French troops into Ukraine if the Russian Armed Forces break through towards Odessa or Kyiv.
“There are no restrictions and no red lines,” concluded Jordan Bardella (National Rally). “I arrived excited and left even more worried,” concluded La France insoumise coordinator Manuel Bompard,” writes L’Indépendant.
Also in Paris, they are now discussing issuing permission for French special forces to cross the Ukrainian border, to create a “strategic dilemma” before the Russian Federation. And French Foreign Minister Sejournet said that Kyiv has not yet asked Paris to send troops, but “nothing cannot be ruled out in the coming months.”
Ha ha! What’s that? Revenge for Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow, 212 years on? Madness.
I shall be sorry to see Paris destroyed, if it comes to that, even though it has become largely a poubelle (rubbish bin). France may have its force de frappe (independent nuclear deterrent), but if it ever uses it, Paris and all other major French cities will be annihilated.
The French discussions, though, do seem to give the lie to the outpourings of Grant Shapps and others. Macron is obviously not expecting a Kiev-regime advance in 2024; au contraire… he expects Russian advances upon Kiev and Odessa. So do I, though whether they will be in 2024 or 2025 (after the US and UK elections this year) is an open question.

Also, people from poorer countries outside Europe can live off small amounts of food-money, because they are accustomed to making their money stretch. I have had to do it myself a few times in the past, but it seems to come naturally to those such as a Nigerian girl I met in the 1980s, when she was a tenant of someone I knew. She would go to the street market a mile or so away in Peckham (South London), buy rice or potato by the sack, cook it with some hot spices and sauce etc, maybe add some small amount of protein, or not even that, and bingo…dinner served.
In fact, I seem to recall the same was true of a West Indian girl, another tenant of the same landlord, and also in the 1980s. She had been sacked for theft by her employer, the wife of an MI5 officer (she denied that she had stolen anything, but was sacked anyway), and was another one with basically no, or very little, cash.
I myself am not naturally a thrifty person, but I have blogged in the past about how I have had a few (in the American word) “hardscrabble” times in my life. You adapt, one way or another…

This week, I’m going to tell you how Labour also plan to make their political and cultural revolution permanent —by taking power out of the hands of the elected government in Westminster, out of the hands of the masses, and giving it to unaccountable quangos and civil servants you will never be able to vote out of power.“

I favoured Brexit, but saw that it was (deliberately) mishandled from the start. A journalist in 2017 visited the civil service office that was meant to be planning for a smooth withdrawal, only to find it shut. That says it all.
“We are where we are”, in the commonly-heard phrase. For me, Britain’s main strategic move must be to withdraw from NATO before some lunatic starts a Third World War, and at the same time to pursue an independent course combined with a close friendship with the Russian Federation.
Russia can supply us with oil and gas at cheap rates, maybe even cost-price or below. It could save us.
It's the biggest demographic shock on these islands in over 3000 years. Everything feels like it is being swept away. I like many of the immigrants as individuals, just as I like water molecules, but not the tsunami they are a part of however. It's too big, too fast, too sudden.
Money, in vast amounts, wasted on the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic, on no-hope stuff such as “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime), money wasted on Israel and the UK Jewish lobby, huge sums expended on the upkeep and health of millions of migrant-invader parasites, money in even greater amounts wasted on a largely-useless State educational system. Further vast sums spent on pointless “Defence” hardware.
As Goodwin says, all spent without much real benefit to the majority of UK residents, especially the real British.

Political drones and mouthpieces such as Indian money-juggler Sunak are effectively signed-up to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, and the destruction or deformation of what is left of our white European societies (in Europe, in North America, in Australasia etc).
Statements such as the above are designed purely to mitigate the upcoming destruction of the Conservative Party (again, what is left of it) at the 2024 General Election.
If Sunak can get the nationwide Con Party vote up from its present (opinion poll) 20%, to 30% at the 2024 General Election, then the Con Party will survive, as will the fraudulent UK binary political system.
Note, though, who Sunak (impliedly) blames for the migration invasion— Putin! Not the “LibLabCon”-men and women who have encouraged non-white immigration to the UK for the past 50-60 years, and not “them” (((the usual suspects))), aka (((the “you know who”))), but Putin, the System’s current favourite msm ogre.
In any case, the Rwanda policy, if ever implemented, would deal with only a fraction of the “illegal” invaders, and none of the “legal” ones, so would only reduce the migration-invasion from maybe a million invaders per year (700,000+ “net”) to maybe 950,000 (650,000+ “net”), at best.

When you visit, as I have, the marble cistern at Zaghouan (modern Tunisia) and its aqueduct flowing (originally) a hundred miles to Roman-era Carthage, or when you visit, as I also have, the Alexandria Museum in Egypt, and see the classical era statues and other exhibits, you feel a sense of racial-cultural kinship which you emphatically do not feel in respect of the Arab societies around those oases of Western/European culture.
A simple yet clever idea, though it would not work well (or maybe at all) in parts of the world where the temperatures are extremely cold (eg Russia/Siberia/Canada).

[I think that that should be “Garda” not “Gardai“, but I may be mistaken].
Incidentally, last Friday I was in a medium-size UK city. Not far from the centre of the city. A street with a Tesco Express, a Starbucks, estate agencies, various professional offices etc. All that, and —at about 0800 hrs— a number of people still sleeping in the streets in sleeping bags, blankets etc. Terrible (both in itself and aesthetically).
I had a mediocre cappuccino and croissant in the nearby Starbucks, until the horrible “music” drove me out. I thought to give a coin to a fellow in a shop doorway who had evidently woken up while I was in the Starbucks place (it hardly merited the title, “cafe”). A white Englishman aged maybe 30-something, or 40, maybe an ex-soldier, who growled “thanks, mate” as I pressed a £2 coin into his hand, suggesting that he buy himself a drink (probably not the best thing I could have said).
As I walked away, and about 50 feet further on, a black woman without most of her teeth (drug abuser?) accosted me and started on a story about how she wanted to get into a shelter but needed £20. I told her that I did not have £20, but felt in my pocket for another coin; a 50p was the only one. I gave it to her, and she took my modest offering without a word of thanks as I departed.
Britain’s cities in 2023…
My point (apart from just reporting what I experienced) is that neither of the two people I encountered was a migrant-invader (both spoke with British accents), and both were sleeping in the streets, in winter. Had they been migrant-invaders, they would have been in hotels paid for by the Government (i.e. by UK taxpayers). They would have been sheltered, fed, and given pocket money of (?) about £40 a week (the exact amount seems to vary), as well as provided with transport, medical and dental services, even online services.
How can this be right? Also, if another million immigrants arrive in 2024, and another in 2025 (etc), and even if “only” about 50,000 a year are small boat invaders asking for or demanding help, how is this situation sustainable? Answer— it isn’t.
[Update, 18 December 2023:it occurs to me that readers may object that the black woman mentioned was also a kind of migrant-invader, even if born in the UK. True in essence, but my point was that she had not just “got off the boat”; I should have been clearer].

However, when pressed by the interviewer as to policies he thinks will win the support of the voters, all Francois could come up with were two: getting rid of inheritance tax, and spending more on defence.
Inheritance tax only impacts a tiny number of people anyway, all of whom already vote Conservative.
As to Defence, which Francois (military background— a year reading War Studies for a Master’s degree, and 3-4 years in the TA, final rank Lieutenant) thinks will be a huge issue next year, that again is not something which most voters think is important.
Our armed forces are now quite weak, and very small, but our traditional enemies (Germany, France, maybe Denmark and the Netherlands —going back 300 years or more—) are now not enemies or potential enemies. The larger potential opponents (Russia, China) are so powerful that the UK could not think of fighting them, and anyway they are far away, and the UK has only limited air/sea transport capability.
The armed forces have shown themselves incapable even of preventing migration-invasion, let alone any real one (which would come from…where?).
For me, Francois’ remarks are a measure of how out of touch with the people the Conservative Party now is. He has no idea; the Conservative Party has no idea.
Listening to Francois trying to express what his preference for “overall narrative” of his party would be just underlines the sheer mediocrity (at best) of so many MPs now.
Not only that, but when they are settled/housed, they will all be bringing their 4 wives and 20 children over. Then the numbers will dramatically increase.
Many a true word spoken in jest…I remember a visitor from the Soviet Union, one Alex (not the MP above, of course), joking with me during a similar prison accommodation crisis (in 1987, I think, and seen on Channel 4 News) that the British Government should make a deal with the Soviet Government to house Brit convicts. Alex said that he could guarantee that the Soviet Government would turn a profit on it.
He ought to have known, he himself having been arrested and convicted, on entirely invented evidence, of having been a spy for a number of secret services. He had been about 18 at the time, and the arrest came in 1948, the peak of the postwar purge. He had then spent 5 years in a camp in the region of Archangel in Northern Russia. Stalin’s death in 1953 had saved him, and millions of others, from longer or worse.
“Where did it all go wrong for John Lewis? How Britain’s favourite High Street giant hired boss with NO retail experience whose disastrous reign saw stores shuttered, staff bonuses axed, £234m losses and decline of its famed customer service.”

[“Where did it all go wrong for John Lewis?” Oh, no, wait a minute…]
Incidentally, her basic salary at John Lewis has been £990,000 p.a., nearly three times her previous salary (for 4 years) as head of OFCOM.
She has other revenue streams as well.
Incidentally, I myself often use Waitrose, which is part of the John Lewis Group. The decline , particularly since 2020, has been sad to see. The range and also quality of fruit and vegetables is much reduced, the formerly stellar customer service has almost gone, and there have been other disagreeable changes, while the prices have soared.
Hard to know where to place the blame, though, in circumstances where we have seen Brexit, the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, the pathetic anti-Covid “measures” put in place, staff shortages locally, and general inflation.
The other day, I bought a small bottle of (40%/Vol) Kirsch. About £9.50. A few years ago, the price was £6.50 or £7. Hardly a typical everyday purchase, even for me, but not dissimilar to other items in its increased cost.
It is incredible how, in the Britain of 2023, to state the plain truth, the obvious truth that is staring us in the face, is actually controversial. Sign of a slowly (?) collapsing society.

At the same time, it is absolutely obvious: the situation for Ukraine has not become any less, but even more threatening! The counteroffensive is going less successfully than the Ukrainians and the West would like. The number of victims is extremely high. There is no necessary support in arms from the West. And Russia can produce more per day than the West, despite the sanctions.”

Conservative Party Conference
Saw a few minutes of Sunak’s speech. Pretty pathetic. The HS2 fiasco has become symbolic. Not that I was ever anything other than opposed to the ridiculous vanity project anyway, but now we have massive cost, massive environmental damage etc, but no useful train line at all, just a line that goes to or from Birmingham but only to an outer suburb of London, thus losing its purpose altogether. As said, pathetic.
It seems that Sunak is trying to portray himself as a Prime Minister, when the whole country knows that his popularity (as was that of even more useless Liz Truss) has never been tested via General Election. The longer Sunak holds on, and the longer he puts off a General Election, the worse his position is likely to become. However, if a general election were to be held this year, the result would almost certainly be a disaster for the Conservative Party, and the number of its MPs likely be reduced to around 100, maybe only 50 or so. Therefore, the circus will have to continue into 2024, maybe until December 2024.

⬇️ 49% less migration ⬆️ 10% more migration 🔄 27% the same amount 🤷 13% don’t know
Re. that second poll, for me it means that 10% of the UK population are direct enemies of our country and people, that 27% are non-Brits and/or enemies and/or completely stupid, that 13% are stupid or totally unaware or blind to what is happening all around them, but that about 49% or 50%, half of the entire population, are aware and perhaps angry.

There is also the problem of non-white migration-invasion.
The original EEC/EC was not so bad — relaxed trade and travel, even relatively easy residence and work—. It worked because the original EEC populations were closely-related northern European nations, and because it was primarily a trading bloc, not an ever-expanding political project.
There was no non-white migration-invasion, because Libya under Gaddafi, Morocco, and Algeria all stopped Africans from coming across the Mediterranean; also, the NWO had not yet destabilized the Middle East and Afghanistan. Even the Roma Gypsies were “imprisoned” behind the so-called “Iron Curtain” until 1989, and so unable to travel to the UK and other parts of Western Europe.

The woman who developed that “vaccine” was not only applauded by the stupid rabbits at Wimbledon but also got some kind of official “honour”, I seem to remember.

I think that many people, even today, will be honest if they find a purse or wallet. In the past few years, I myself have found two or three. One was a kind of wallet I happened to see in a clifftop parking place. I was there, unusually, early one morning, not long after dawn. I saw the item in the half-light, was curious, so went to pick it up.
The wallet contained about £50 in cash, I think also a debit card, a couple of other bits and pieces, and a student railcard in the name of some girl.
I went home, thinking that the girl must be fairly local, in view of the station which had issued the railcard, only about 8 miles from that car park. Her surname was unusual, so I called the few telephone numbers (landlines) with the same name. Only one answered. An old lady, so no-go.
In the end, I drove to the local police station (its desk manned by an old fellow, a civilian support person) and gave in the wallet. I made the point that there was a large college near the rail station which issued the card, so the girl was almost certainly one of the students there.
I hope that the girl got back her money and the rest. As for what a young girl aged 16-18 was doing in a clifftop car park and (presumably) after dark, and how she managed to lose her wallet, maybe it is better not to speculate…
The second wallet was larger, newer, and packed with both money and cards (an incredible number, literally dozens, neatly and individually carefully tucked into pockets), and had been left in a shopping trolley at Waitrose. I took it in to the help desk, and a member of staff took it from me. Probably the woman who lost it got it back soon afterwards. I imagine that she must have called the store in a panic.
Not that I promise to be a good citizen if someone leaves an attache case containing a million pounds somewhere, which amount of cash could not, in my view, be the property of any honest person. No, the (so far, hypothetical) million pounds stays with me, in that event.
The Conservative Democratic conference. Hall almost empty. Rows and rows of empty seats. The photos show no more than 100 in the audience. In fact, I think that I addressed a larger audience than this one when I spoke at the London Forum in 2017.
Hard to judge the age demographic accurately from the photos, but apart from a few younger persons under 30 (possibly students), and a few youngish blonde women (possibly journalists), the audience seems to have been predominantly grey-haired or bald. I should say, at a guess, that there were more people over 70 than there were people under 50.

“Brexit” was not a mistake, as such, but it was completely incompetently done (possibly deliberately, as well, in part). The UK should have cut itself adrift from EU rules and laws and policies, kept or “nationalized” those that made sense, jettisoned the rest, then joined with Russia in a special trading relationship— the UK stands aside from active participation in NATO and, in return, gets free or cheap oil and gas from Russia.

The Bakhmut/Artyomovsk battle has become a trial of strength extremely important for the morale of both sides.
All the same, if Russian forces lose out, Russia can still step up its war operations generally in Ukraine with more destructive methods yet, in theory right the way up to nuclear ICBMs. Ukraine or Kiev-regime commanders cannot; they have no such weapons. The most for which they can hope is relatively few high-grade Western weapons such as fighter aircraft and Abrams tanks, the capabilities of which latter are phenomenal— what would Rommel or Guderian not have given for such tanks in the early/mid 1940s?

Since the loss of Soledar and the high ground around Bakhmut, Ukrainian casualties are almost 1:1 with Russian casualties. Feeding units into fixed positions around the city has led to heavy Ukr losses. The political/symbolic decision to hold Bakhmut is overriding military sense.
Interesting, especially if the ratio is accurate. Yesterday, it was all “one Ukrainian [Kiev-regime] fighter killed for every seven Russians“, but today it seems that the losses are equal on both sides,
I wonder whether that 1:7 ratio claim was part of the propaganda pumped out saying that the Kiev-regime soldiers are some kind of elite (not very plausible from what I see on Twitter and in the UK msm), whereas the Russian soldiers are “orcs” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orc].
The aim of the Kiev regime here (as also with much of the UK/US “reportage”, if it can be called that), is to dehumanize the Russian soldiers. We see little or nothing from the Russian side of the conflict in the msm; even on Twitter etc, the Kiev-regime has “played a blinder” in propaganda terms compared to the stolid offerings of the Russian Foreign Ministry and the unsophisticated social media output of individual Russian tweeters.
One notes that (up to ministerial level, i.e. tweets by government ministers) the Kiev regime notes not only the damage done to civilians (by Russians, never by pro-Kiev Ukrainians), and also tweets about abandoned or rescued cats and dogs. The aim is obviously to capture the hearts of Western readers (the tweets have English subtitles).
I am 100% in favour of the cats and dogs, and indeed those helping them, as far as that goes, but there are probably as many doing that on the Russian side (in Donetsk etc); we never hear or see anything about that.
As I say, the Kiev-regime side is far more sophisticated in terms of propaganda aimed at the West (even/especially when appearing to be artless) than the Russian side.
Compare the cultural history of Russia and Ukraine. For whatever reason, Russia has a far more complex and rich cultural background than Ukraine: music, literature, philosophy etc. Yet the Russians are, supposedly, the “orcs“…

If Russian forces can complete the encirclement of Bakhmut/Artyomovsk, they may capture thousands of Kiev-regime troops; even if the latter escape encirclement, they would be all but spent, and would have to slowly straggle northward. Whether the Russian forces could then make a big advance is, however, an open question.

While everyone's reading in the MSM about the government "scaring the pants" off the country, let's remember it was the same MSM that published all the scares. Complicit.
Brexit was, in itself, not wrong, not a mistake, but it has been badly-handled from the start, in many cases by ministers determined to mess it up.
Others, such as “Boris”-idiot and Liz Truss, were pro-EU “Remain” supporters until they realized that their political ambitions could be boosted by adherence to a pro-Brexit position.
What could have made Brexit a success? What was and still is the missing piece of the jigsaw? This: the UK gets closer to Russia, distances itself from NATO and US control (in the manner that France has done for the past half century and more), and forms a serious trading relationship with Russia and a cultural bond with the Russian people. Russia, in turn, supplies us with very cheap or even free gas from Siberia, delivered via a new pipeline direct to the UK, as well as a large market in Russia for British goods and services.

Wow, Conservative MP Robert Halfon absolutely furious, accusing Liz Truss’s government of “treating the country as laboratory mice, to carry out ultra free market experiments". @SophyRidgeSky
Well, another first. I actually find myself in agreement with Israel-lobby MP, Robert Halfon.
Having said that, Halfon seems to think that only now are people coming up to him in the street saying that they are “frightened” by the Government. What about the last 12 years (in fact 15 years, under “Labour” too) of people, especially the unemployed, sick and disabled, being bullied and badly-treated by the Duncan Smith/Jew Freud/Esther McVey/Therese Coffey regime of callousness and cruelty?
The trouble is that, like the “eco-vandals” of Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion, the MPs and ministers responsible think that they can get away with their crimes, and do so smirking openly. A few, over the last several years, have discovered that they cannot get away with their evil, but most —so far— have.
When, in #TheTimes on 20 August, former Conservative MP Matthew Parris described Liz Truss as “a planet-sized mass of overconfidence & ambition teetering upon a pinhead of a political brain”, he was spot-on, wasn’t he?

It would be a good start if any members of the public who see those sub-terrorists doing anything such as vandalizing artworks or blocking ambulances etc, were to kick them silly.
They rely on people doing nothing, or at least treating them with kid gloves. That applies especially, in fact, to the older and greyer “protestors”. You can see it in their self-satisfied smirks. They travel to London from Gloucestershire, Dorset etc, where they live comfortably on private and State pensions, and invested funds, sitting in houses bought outright, or paid off, or inherited (admittedly, a generalization). Do them.
The public need to have confidence in their police forces.
This sort of thing undermines it.

Whatever the many defaults of the Conservative Party, if Labour take over what is left of the government of this country, you can see that money would be funnelled to the police to become even more of a poundland KGB. Starmer and that thick “ho” Angela Rayner both went down on one knee in sign of fealty to the “Black Lives Matter” nonsense; Starmer is also totally in the Jew-Zionist lobby pocket.
