Life is complex.

There are very many systems of numerology. Under one of the simplest (applicable to Latin-alphabet languages), A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=1, K=2, L=3, M=4, N=5, O=6, P=7, Q=8, R=9, S=1, T=2, U=3, V=4, W= 5, X=6, Y=7, Z=9.


Under that system, Ian Robert Millard would be:

Ian 9+1+5 = 15. Then 1+5 = 6.

Robert 9+6+2+5+9+2 = 33. Then 3+3 = 6.

Millard 4+9+3+3+1+9+4 = 33. Then 3+3 = 6.

So Ian Robert Millard = 666.

Life is not that simple, though. I am not “the Beast” or, indeed, the ruler of the world but, like Parzival/Parsifal, a human soul hopefully “slowly wise“, and living the quietest and most peaceful and obscure of lives, at least most of the time.

I have blogged previously, several times, about the Gorton and Denton by-election. From (obviously) a considerable distance, I see it as being very close among Reform/Greens/Labour, but I just cannot see who would vote Labour now, in that seat or elsewhere.

Having said that, the one-third of eligible voters in the by-election who are Pakistani Muslims are hard to fathom. Many cannot even speak English, and their educational level is probably rock-bottom. Who knows what their motivations might be? Labour is said to have an effective electoral machine up there (though journalists say that little has been seen of Labour canvassers etc).

I can see the dilemma of the Muslim voters, perhaps unwilling to vote Labour because it is a Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment, also unwilling (perhaps) to vote Green because Green policies include the decriminalization of both drugs (all drugs) and pornography (all pornography?), yet unwilling to vote for the (supposedly) anti-migration-invasion Reform UK.

The Muslims would probably have voted for George Galloway or his candidate, but he has endorsed the Green Party candidate, thus greatly boosting the Greens’ chances.

I should imagine that most white English/British voters in the seat will be voting Reform; we shall see. To vote any other way would be turkeys voting for Christmas.

My own feeling is that Matt Goodwin, for Reform, could still do this, but it may run very close.

Reform’s weakness has always been its finance-capitalist and also its pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby orientation. Farage welcoming deadheads, freeloaders, and/or non-Brits such as Nadine Dorries, Nadhim Zahawi etc has weakened the Reform “brand”, no question. Matt Goodwin himself has openly criticized that, and Farage has (retaliation?) gone to the Chagos Islands (well, offshore there) instead of slogging it out on the by-election front-lines with Goodwin. Not impressive.

Were Reform more social-national, even it it fell far short of my policy positions, it would be on 50% in the opinion polls, not between 24% and 28%.

That poll shows not only Con and Lab, but also the Greens and LibDems almost on the same level: 18%, 18%, 17%, and 14%. Reform still leading the pack, though not convincingly.

Of course, a victory for Reform in the by-election would certainly give them a national boost.

Incidentally, that latest poll would indicate a Commons with about 291 Reform MPs (some distance short of a majority), Greens 80 (official, albeit very weak, Opposition!), Cons 79, LibDems 74, Labour 53, SNP 45 [etc].

Starmer-stein and those behind him (Israel lobby, Jewish lobby, MOSSAD, the Trilateral Commission, NWO/ZOG etc) are desperate not to have exposed the conspiracy that has embedded itself in Labour— and in the UK as a whole.

There is still all to play for in the by-election.

My thoughts exactly. About 30 stooges in the hired function room of some hotel (look at the chandelier), holding up placards in order to make a photo for social media and the newspapers.

If the reports are accurate, then we may not be far from nuclear war. Were that to happen, both Britain and France, as we know them, will cease to exist.

The UK must stop backing the brutal, corrupt, and shambolic Kiev regime, which is living on borrowed time and “borrowed” money.

I believe that that uninfluential Twitter/X account is or was run by a Jewish woman who tweeted once or twice, inaccurately, about me, though years ago.

Whatever the truth of that, Amazon is thoroughly under “the usual” baleful influence. I was once a “top 50” reviewer (in the UK) on Amazon UK, voted so by readers, but a concerted campaign of faked complaint by Jews meant that hundreds of my reviews were deleted with neither warning nor any right of appeal. One Jew, a “Daniel Sevitt” (now resident in Ra’anana near Tel Aviv, but of UK-resident origins) organized it, I discovered later (he admitted his crime publicly, online, and in fact appeared proud of his activity). He now “replies” on Twitter/X, and in very insolent terms to any anti-Israel tweeters (who never addressed him in the first place). Another Jewish-Zionist loonie. https://x.com/danielsevitt.

In fact, even the Jewish Chronicle reported on the then-“anonymous” complaint about my reviews, prior to their removal.

I then started to review on the Amazon USA site but, not long after that, and with no warning, every single one of my reviews was removed. Same Jew? I do not know for evidential certain, but it had to be. Anyway, who cares whether it was Jew “X”, Jew “Y” or Jew “Z”? Same thing.

Many of those reviews, probably the majority, were neither about Jews, Israel, WW2 etc, nor even mentioned those topics, incidentally.

So much for “freedom of expression”, not only in the UK but also in the USA. The (((influence))) is pervasive. For now…

Maybe one or two of those Iranian missiles being prepared will, in case of war breaking out again, go astray. One can but hope.

Israel was founded mainly by the sweepings of the ghettos and prisons of Europe, partly by terrorism and ethnic cleansing. “They” just have better weapons now.

If only civilized Europe (Britain, France) had retained control of the entire Middle East, as a joint imperial power. The Jews (in Israel, at least…) are now running wild. Savage. Cruel. As a reaction to their subordination and exploitation (and quasi-genocide) the Arabs and others have reacted against the West. The [Israeli] Jews and their fifth column in the West are responsible.

Incidentally, thanks to Google, I now know that “Akkoub” is this:

“It is highly prized in regional cuisine and culture, often considered a delicacy that appears for a short period in early spring (February–March).

“Akkoub (Arabic: عكوب), known scientifically as Gundelia tournefortii and sometimes referred to as “tumble thistle,” is a wild, edible, and medicinal thistle-like plant native to the Middle East, particularly the Levantine region (Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria)

Key Aspects of Akkoub:

  • Taste and Usage: It is often described as having a taste similar to a combination of artichoke, asparagus, and sometimes cauliflower. It is typically prepared by frying with olive oil and onions, cooking in a stew with meat, or served with yogurt.
  • Preparation: Preparing akkoub is labor-intensive because the plant is extremely spiny. The edible parts (undeveloped flower buds, stems, and roots) must be separated from the thorny leaves.
  • Cultural Significance: In Palestine, it is viewed as a symbol of connection to the land, resilience, and identity.
  • Medicinal Uses: Traditionally, it has been used to treat various ailments, including liver diseases, diabetes, and digestive issues.
  • Harvesting: It is foraged from the wild rather than farmed, leading to concerns about overharvesting and sustainability.
  • “Eggs” (Bayd): In Lebanon, the undeveloped, tender flower heads are often referred to as “eggs” (bayd) because of their shape.”

Well, I agree with the lady’s premise (i.e. that is is perhaps foolish to guess the result in such a tight contest), but my guess anyway would be the exact opposite of hers: Reform, Greens, Labour. We shall soon know.

If Reform form a government but then fail to deliver (entirely possible, looking at their Jewish-lobby, Israel-lobby tie-ins), then the game will be in the hazard, as Shakespeare put it.

Exactly. I do not know whether Farage is weakening Reform UK deliberately, or simply out of ineptitude. I have blogged before, some long time ago, about how Farage is not really a very clever politician. That of course sounds counter-intuitive after the repeated near-successes— UKIP, Brexit Party and now, writ much larger, Reform UK.

It seems absurd in a way, to think that Farage may be a System catspaw, but his actions are sometimes very strange for someone leading an insurgent political force. Also, when Farage entered the Chamber of the House of Commons for the first time, Starmer himself crossed the floor and welcomed him, with every sign of genuine bonhomie. Simple courtesy? “Democratic” politicians’ comity? Maybe…

The Reform “brand” has definitely been weakened by having the previously-Con ministers and MPs, mostly corrupt, freeloading, or incompetent, joining on a quasi-senior level.

There is something very fishy about the whole of Farage’s behaviour. Deep-cover NWO/ZOG agent?

Sample size, though typical, still only 401 out of nearly 80,000, i.e. 1 out of every 200 registered voters, about half of one percent.

The likely error margin must be several points, rendering the pecking order implausible. It may be correct, it may not be. On the figures themselves, only 1 point or less separates the three main contenders.

Anyone voting Conservative is wasting their vote; they should vote Reform. Tactical voting. Again, they may or may not do so.

Wide-open.

We know where this will end up, a few years down the line. We are just “not allowed” to say so…

Wall. Squad. End. 10-30 rounds and no more trouble from them.

In the other recent significant by-election, Labour and Starmer-stein were humiliated when Reform won by a mere 6 votes. It might be as close as that, either way, at Gorton and Denton.

This is just completely unacceptable in any society aspiring to basic decency.

As previously blogged, were I the Iranian leader, I should focus every missile and drone I had on Israel, particularly Dimona, Tel Aviv central areas (and wealthy nearby suburbs and towns), and ben-Gurion Airport. Then press the buttons.

Why wait until the Israelis and the “tail wags dog” Americans (under Jew-Zionist control or influence) attack you, and badly damage your military resources?

Is that true? I have no idea.

Again, surely that is too late? We are talking about a possible attack on Iran within days, quite likely.

Over a decade ago, fake Labour was still pumping out mendacious bs…

That by-election is going to be close, perhaps very close.

Hannah Spencer is a typical pseudo-liberal hypocrite and fake. In fact, I doubt whether she is really “a plumber” at all. She may be, I suppose, but she looks like a fake generally to me.

As to the Green Party, its leader is a Jew with a fake name. Even the Jews generally seem to dislike him.

Why? Because —leaving aside the details and the nuances— the USA was one of two world superpowers, or maybe even then the only real one. Now it is certainly the only real superpower, and with that come the responsibilities and problems of empire.

Within a decade, the USA will probably be joined, as a world superpower, by China.

Of course, if the USA provokes a war with Russia, China may then be left as the sole world superpower, the other two contenders having, in that contingency, ruled themselves out by destroying each other.

Don’t forget the Jew-Zionists. They are the ones predominantly trying to close down free speech and freedom of expression in the UK, using contrived complaints to police, Crown Prosecution Service, and professional regulators, as well as themselves undertaking malicious private prosecutions (so-called “lawfare”), to that end.

Monkeyworld.

Had I been the sort of person who trims and compromises for careerist reasons, I could have joined a “mainstream” party decades ago, and might now be an MP, even Prime Minister, who knows? (though the Jew-Zionist element has files on me going back to the mid-1970s, so would probably have sabotaged that anyway). I am just not a careerist, and prefer to follow my conscience and the good of the whole people.

After all, “what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” [Mark 8:36].

Well, the betting (see below, taken from a random tweet seen) is heavily on the Green clowns to win at Gorton and Denton, but I have found over the past 10-15 years that betting odds are a poor predictor of by-election results.

My own assessment, admittedly from far away geographically (central-southern coast) is that there is all to play for, bearing in mind that over a quarter of the voters there are saying that they are as yet undecided (or are many of the “undecided” really secret Reform sympathisers? We shall find out on Thursday).

One thing is for sure. Any vote not for Reform, Green, or Labour is a totally wasted vote.

Matt Goodwin has now, suddenly, at the peak of the by-election campaigning, had the System msm bring up various stray allegations against him. “Black propaganda”. That, despite Goodwin being pro-Jew, pro-Israel etc.

The System is afraid of someone such as Goodwin, who is not completely under (((control))) and who veers toward a slightly social-national socio-political stance, becoming an MP. Types such as Farage and Tice are not a real danger to the System.

I can see that a society might develop in the UK, a society that is so dystopian, that only firing squads in the streets would be able to restore law and order…

2036? 2046? Earlier?

Cold comfort for the Kiev regime, and also, unfortunately, for the ordinary people of Ukraine, and their companion animals. They would be so much better off under Russian rule, rather than the rule of the coalition of Jew-Zionist tricksters and echt-Ukrainian thugs as at present.

“They” move from one to another country as targets (and fields of exploitation), as those countries are damaged or crippled. The world must wake up to the menace.

As if anyone is going to listen to that stupid bimbo.

Whatever Farage may be doing, Goodwin is hitting hard on all of the important by-election issues. I still think he can pull this off, with a fair wind behind him.

It seems to me that Gorton and Denton has all the problems of the rest of the UK but writ large because it is and always was a deprived area. Labour is patently not going to win convincingly, and probably not at all. Labour’s 2024 50.8% of the vote might end up being, in the by-election, 30%, 25%, 20%, maybe even 15%. The voters that vote (i.e. those that are not already in a state of apathetic despair, and the 2024 General Election turnout was only 46.8%…) will be looking for salvation wherever they see it: Reform, or even the increasingly loonie Greens. The Muslim factor is important too. Starmer’s regime is a Labour Friends of Israel one. Muslims are around a third of Gorton and Denton voters.

On the wider picture, this by-election will be around why Britain is increasingly sliding, why “nothing works” (or works properly), and why society itself, as a whole, is ceasing to work, or function properly. Also, the issue of the disconnect between the 5% or 1% who are becoming ever-wealthier, and the other 95%-99%. The msm and the Westminster Bubblers (politicos, scribblers, talking heads on radio and TV) are almost all in the “everything’s OK really in the UK” camp. Few other people are.

So says the “Green” (fake “green”) “leader”, a Jewish loonie with a fake name.

Are Muslims in the constituency really going to vote Green, now knowing what they do?

The Greens, in the oft-seen Leninist term (usually misunderstood, however) are both infantile and disordered.

I have no objection to Estonian autonomy or independence, but this endless goading of Russia —which after all is not the old Soviet Union, with its aggressive and ideological foreign policy—by the NWO/ZOG puppets now ruling Estonia may lead to disaster for the Estonian people.

Israeli lobby in Labour, now largely though not entirely exposed.

Jewish/Israeli money corrupts politics across the Western world. In the UK, all major parties are contaminated.

One does not have to be a Corbyn “supporter” —and no-one has ever accused me of that!— to see that the Jewish/Israeli lobby conspired against him, and finally had him toppled so that another (as it turned out, Starmer-stein) could pose as Labour leader. Thus, of the 2 main System parties of a few years ago, both were now back under (((control))), one having briefly escaped.

Reform UK, as I predicted, has now, now that it looks like being a, possibly the, major party, fallen almost totally under that very same influence and control…

The housing shortages in the UK are almost entirely by reason of mass immigration, and births to non-Europeans.

I once sat there, outside, about 35 years ago, with my first wife. Perhaps 1991. It was around 1700 hrs. Two besuited French office workers (I presume) strolled past, glanced at us and one remarked to the other something about “les deux magots” (with hard “g“, too..). Neither of us having more than basic French, we wondered whether they were referring to us, and as “the two maggots”, but the name of the place refers to two Oriental figurines (something akin to “Magi”).

Someone once told me that she had known a former doorman at a block of expensive flats where many politicians lived (I think probably in the 1950s, but possibly in the 1930s). According to that report, the good tippers were mainly Conservative MPs, the poor ones mainly Labour Party ones (and Oswald Mosley).

The relative generosity was attributed, rightly or wrongly, to the view that Conservative MPs regarded relative poverty as inherent in society, so to be ameliorated by personal charity now and then, whereas socialists and other radicals regarded what was important as the changing of society so that poverty no longer existed, ergo tipping the relatively poor, or giving to them, was only a distraction from the real task.

I mention it out of interest, though I concede that it cannot be given much weight, in view of the fact that I cannot identify the original reporter, or at all verify the report content. Interesting, though.

Oh, dear…someone’s (still) in trouble. Starmer-stein.

Scribblers and talking heads such as Dan Hodges always think such figures are terribly important. They are not, because any “growth” benefit, unless explosive, benefit goes, almost entirely, to about 1%, and certainly not more than 5%, of the population; any fall, unless catastrophic, scarcely affects the 95% of the population.

Starmer-stein is desperate not to appoint a man because of any further hidden sex scandals, so has appointed, or is about to appoint a woman, one who apparently has no sex scandals but is a money-obsessed careerist office bully (incidentally, she married one of her former bosses in the private sector…).

I have blogged once or twice about the by-election. I see that Betfair now has the Greens odds-on, Reform about 5/2, and Labour well back on nearly 9/1.

I have found bookmakers’ odds a poor indication of the result of by-elections, but Labour already look like the big losers in this one. If I have to eat my words on the 27th (by-election is on 26th), so be it. I just cannot see either the Muslims (about 30% or so of the electorate of Gorton and Denton) or most English/British people (about 68% of the voters there) voting Labour now, despite Labour’s 50.8% at GE 2024.

Jim Ratcliffe is right – it has been colonised by immigrants. That’s just a fact. No point pussyfooting around it. Streets and streets of entire families unable to speak in English, not working, not contributing – living under parallel legal systems.

It’s not even multiculturalism in some of these areas. There is one culture – Islam.

They do not want to live by the same rules as the rest of us. They choose not to be policed as the rest of us. So they’re not. What has that led to? We all know.

Britain increasingly resembles the third world. And with demographic changes, birthrates and immigration transforming our country as they are? That is a process which will only accelerate unless drastic action is taken.

I speak to MPs, plenty agree with me in private. They are, however, unwilling to say so publicly.

That needs to change, urgently.

The backlash for stating these obvious facts is aggressive, so MPs don’t do it. The intimidation works, it’s effective. But I don’t need the job, I don’t need the money. I’m just going to carry on telling the truth.

Let’s continue to kick the shit out of the Overton window – that is step one.

Ratcliffe is right. And I respect him for having the balls to say it.“]

Bravo!

Islam/Muslims/Islamists in the UK are not, combined, the only demographic problem in the UK, just one of several major ones.

Apart from that, I agree with Lowe, who is, overall, arguably, the best of the few MPs who are not utter trash.

Bracknell? Berkshire? Good grief. Britain really is royally screwed…

Would translate to a Commons with about 378 Reform UK MPs (very solid majority), 60 Greens (official Opposition!), 54 LibDems, 45 SNP, 39 Cons, 36 Labour.

Near-terminal for both Cons and Labour.

On those figures, Starmer would lose his “ultra-safe” seat.

The drug trade, like all trades, is driven by its consumer base. Therefore, to eliminate the trade, you have to eliminate the consumers. Don’t think, or pretend to think, that you can stop mass drug abuse by arresting local drug dealers, or large dealers, or importers (smugglers), or even by executing them, let alone by bombing poppy fields in Asia or cocaine producing areas in South America. The only way, harsh though it would be, is to eliminate the end-users en masse.

I do not agree with Goodwin on everything, far from it, but he is the standout candidate at the Gorton and Denton by-election.

In a single moment, his children become orphans, and his wife is left a widow—giving birth to a new story of pain. The occupation assassinates civilians in broad daylight, with no accountability and no oversight. The scene unfolds in the middle of the road: Young men on a motorcycle. An unarmed man walking, carrying a few belongings. A truck loaded with fuel—had it exploded, it would have caused a massacre in every sense of the word. Civilian cars present at the moment of the assassination. Many passersby on a main, busy street. What kind of criminality is this? What ceasefire are they talking about?

The Israeli Jews giving full vent to their warped and apparently ingrained sadism.

Hard to believe that nearly a quarter of the electorate would vote Labour, after the past 18 months.

However, and leaving that aside, the poll would still translate to 342 Reform UK MPs (a quite good majority), 133 Labour (279 fewer than at present), 55 LibDems, 42 Cons (79 fewer than at present), and 35 SNP [etc].

Britain’s FPTP electoral system— winner takes (almost) all.

Replace one puppet of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby (Starmer-stein) with another (Streeting)? Not a very plausible strategy. In any case, most opinion polls indicate that Streeting will lose his seat at the next general election.

Ha ha…

Starmer-stein is moving from being a mere clown to becoming a total joke.

Forget the non-existent “Russian connection”, and concentrate on the real one, the Israeli connection.

Davis also should know that the FSB is a security organization, not primarily a foreign intelligence agency (the main Russian one being the SVR).

I explored the Israel connection to Epstein (Jew) and Ghislaine Maxwell (half-Jew) years ago, and have continued to update: see

The Jew Epstein and Prince Andrew: The British Royal Family Has Another Scandal — Maybe It’s Time To Just Get Rid Of Them… [frequently updated]

They need street-cleaners in Vienna…(Mandelson has toothbrush, and will travel…).

I still think that Starmer-stein will cling on until people start to stamp on his fingers; he will not let go of his own volition.

The ships referred to are naval minesweepers.

I do not doubt that they confessed (whether guilty or not).

Triggers a few memories.

When I lived in Almaty, Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I lived on Prospekt Lenina, one of the main boulevards. One day, I heard that an American who apparently lived across the (very wide) boulevard from me had been found tortured to death in an armchair in his own apartment.

At the time, I was sole expat lawyer for a British firm in Kazakhstan. The other office staff, however, about 5 people, were under a Kazakh ex-policeman turned fake lawyer (I am sure that he had either bought or forged his qualifications).

This individual in my office had links to the KNB, the renamed Kazakhstan KGB, and told me that the murdered American had been a gay who had picked up two men at a casino. They had murdered him, thinking that he had cash. They had also stolen items from the apartment.

What interested me most about the story, however, was the assertion that, because the KNB had apparently suspected the American (a supposed journalist, working for an obscure Texas-based journal, of which no-one had ever heard) of being a CIA operative, and so had bugged that man’s apartment (both audio and video). There was therefore both audio and video evidence of the torture and murder, though (sadly for the victim) not seen until the next day. Had the KNB been watching in real time, they would have been able to save the victim.

The murderers were, it seems, arrested the next day, and (of course) confessed. I imagine that they were shown the evidence, but would very likely have confessed even had there been no evidence at all. The Kazakh police are rather rough.

There were few foreigners resident in Almaty at that time. I was told that there were about 50 Brits, and quite a few more Americans (in a city of, even then, nearly 2M inhabitants). I doubt, though, whether I myself was suspected of being more than a boring/innocent expat lawyer, but who knows?

Incidentally, I went for a talk at the British Embassy there, not long afterwards, about “personal security”, given by a visiting expert from London. I was often at the Embassy anyway, had met the Ambassador and others several times (and it was walking distance from my home).

There were about 30 British people, businessmen mostly, assembled to hear the words of wisdom.

The “visiting expert” was a bit of an odd bod, a former member of British Army intelligence, and who wore a brown leather coat with a matching leather hat. He reminded me slightly of von Smallhausen in Allo Allo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Allo_%27Allo!; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_%27Allo_%27Allo!_characters#Herr_Engelbert_von_Smallhausen.

“Von Smallhausen” mentioned the murder of the American, cast doubt on the idea that he had been a journalist, and also mentioned the not dissimilar case of a Swiss banker, also murdered in the city not long before.

The “visiting expert” also said that most expats he had met on his brief visit had assured him that Almaty was safe for foreigners, yet he himself had visited a nightclub in the centre of the city a day or two previously and, on exiting the club, had tripped over a dead body.

I have to say that I never had serious trouble while I lived in Kazakhstan (1 year), and what minor trouble I did have was handled one way or another. There again, I usually avoid nightclubs, bars, and casinos in most parts of the world. In fact, unlike most foreigners in Almaty at that time, I not only travelled by car but also on foot and even by local bus, trolleybus, and tram (there was no Metro at the time). My then girlfriend remarked that I had to be the only foreigner in the city with a monthly public transport pass, though I had my own driver to take me to the office and back. I like to wander and explore alone sometimes.

[view of Almaty, Kazakhstan. The boulevard shown is former Prospekt Lenina, now called Dostyk (Kazakh for “Friendship”). I lived on the right-hand side of the avenue, in a kind of Soviet penthouse at the top of the first of the two similar apartment buildings, about halfway up the photo]

Hard-to-believe news

Apparently, Tony Blair has been talking up the possibility of —of all people— Shabana Mahmood taking over from Keir Starmer, and so becoming, by default, Prime Minister! Jesus H. Christ! Has the woman not been over-promoted enough? She has already been appointed as Justice Secretary/Lord Chancellor and, since then, Home Secretary, despite having not practised at the Bar (beyond her one-year pupillage); she was a salaried “gopher” at a firm of solicitors for about 2 years after that.

Actually, I hope she does take over. That would sink the Labour Party completely.

Even 6 months ago, the Jewish government of Israel (occupied Palestine) was describing this as a mere and “antisemitic” conspiracy theory. Well, here we are and it seems as if, like so many “antisemitic” “conspiracy theories” and/or “tropes”, this one is, in a word, true.

Looks as if the Palestinian Arab population of Gaza is going to be either entirely killed off or (the survivors) moved God-knows-where into desert camps. It is like a reverse engineer of the foundation myth of the (original) Jews: from the land of milk and honey to a barren desert, possibly in the Sinai Peninsula.

Jewish “human rights” lawyers (of which there are many) will no doubt continue to claim that what the Jews of Israel are doing to the Gazan population is “not genocide“, but that kind of discussion is really akin to the mediaeval Scholastics debating as to how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

One might add that the Jew-Zionist fanatics outside Israel/Palestine, in the UK and elsewhere, themselves claim that as many as 95% of Jews in the UK, France etc support Israel, and that most of those Jews support what the Israeli government has done, is doing, and plans to do in Gaza and other parts of Palestine still inhabited mainly by Arab populations.

“Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas)— latest

I missed this, from 2 months ago:

Regular readers of the blog will be aware that, several years ago, when I first mentioned “Jack Monroe”, the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”, I was fairly neutral, even slightly sympathetic to her. As I found out more about her, about her entirely invented “backstory”, and about how she had lied about almost everything to do with her life and work, I became more critical.

I also discovered that “Jack Monroe” was making thousands of pounds monthly, indeed tens of thousands at times, from hundreds of well-meaning mugs, who were sending her regular donations via the Patreon website. That was in addition to TV, radio, and other appearance fees, book advances and royalties, and money gathered in from other mugs online on the premise that she was going to sue various public figures, such as the MP Lee Anderson.

The above can all be found via the search box on the blog.

Look at that tweet above. “Jack Monroe”, who frequently extracted money from mugs by claiming to be starving, near-homeless, unable to feed her child (who was, in any event, apparently not looked after by her anyway, most of the time), was (despite vast sums having, so to speak, gone up her nose or down her throat) able to offer the vendor of the said property £157,000 in cash.

Look also at how she is, it is said, now working in some (well-remunerated?) role at Southend Council (Essex). Her father, a Greek Cypriot by origin, was a senior fire officer in Essex, and once got her a job answering calls, before she discovered how easy it was to get many times the money from mugs as an outright fraud. Her father is or was also a property rental-owner of some significance in that town, and may be (presumed but I do not know for sure) a freemason. Join the dots.

Essex, particularly South Essex, is a bit of a “rotten borough” in some ways. The County Council was cheated out of £600,000 by a Jew called Simon Harris (aka “Man Behaving Dadly”) a few years ago. Neither he nor “Jack Monroe” have ever been brought to book for their “grifting” and worse.

More:

I made the same points on the blog, and some months in advance of the above…

Many people seem to —shall I say, politely?— echo the blog content in their own online commentaries.

The first tweeter was right, though. “Jack Monroe” is now recognized by most people as a fraud, a con-woman and a total fantasist whose recipes are themselves a fraud, poor in terms of nutrition, far more expensive than claimed, and often looking like a dog’s dinner. All of which I started to notice years ago. What was not so years ago is that the whole “Bootstrap Cook” thing has now been dropped by the msm. Only complete mugs now give “Jack Monroe” any credence whatever.

Hundreds of replies to Starmer-stein’s tweet, but few if any positive. He is a disaster. His Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment is a disaster.

Incredibly, even after Sunak, Truss, Johnson, May, and Cameron-Levita, that is true.

Cut off the supply of arms, ammunition, and money to the Kiev regime. It will then collapse very quickly, within weeks.

On its own, the Kiev regime fails and falls. It needs NATO to come in on its side. Thankfully, that will probably not now happen, thus saving Europe from another historic round of devastation.

Absolutely mad. The people of the EU states will thus become poorer without having achieved anything in return for that sacrifice.

The people of England want to stamp “the old parties” (as Mosley termed them ) into the ground. Conservative Party. Labour Party.

Reform UK is disliked by many, and many (including me) find its policies inadequate, but it is the only game in town right now, and can pave the way for a real social national party later.

Thinking ahead, if/when Reform is in a position of power, perhaps after 2029, and if Reform itself then fails, the moment for social nationalism will have finally arrived.

[“It occurs to me that Reform’s success may well accelerate a day of reckoning in the UK. The cynic in me feels the mass immigration that’s happened, has placed a sleeping army throughout the country, it doesn’t need to act yet, but once it’s deemed that the British people are finally pushing back, that day of reckoning may well happen because it’s clear now that Reform are a credible force to gain power and that will conflict with everything that’s been planned by those facilitating the immigration.“]

Facilitated by those, or some of those, who live, and profit, in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, France and other countries.

“Macmillan Cancer Support is to scrap its £14m-a-year specialist advice service, which helps tens of thousands of people every year, in what has been described as a betrayal of vulnerable patients.

The cuts were received with shock and anger by welfare advisers, who said the depth and expertise of the service were irreplaceable, while the timing – before the government’s £5bn cuts to disability benefits, which are the single biggest focus of Macmillan-funded welfare support – could not be worse for cancer patients.

“I just don’t understand why they are getting rid of a service that so many thousands of people rely on, while at the same time, hiring senior people on large salaries.

“I get why cuts may have to be made, the climate we are in, but I don’t understand why the welfare advisers are the ones to be cut, why the frontline has to be cut, when there are so many senior people sat in offices discussing strategy and in meetings all day.”

[“My monologue on today’s The Times at One with Andrew Neil. More at 1pm tomorrow on @TimesRadio.

Eighty years on from the end of the Second World War in Europe and we’re at a watershed in British politics — one of these historic turning points which up-ends politics and radically reconfigures the two-party system as we’ve known it.

Two parties have long been the bedrock of British politics. Conservative versus Whig in the early part of the 19th century.  Conservative versus Liberal from the mid-1850s onwards.  Conservative versus Labour from the 1920s onwards, especially since the end of the war in 1945. 

You will have noticed that, as Whig gave way to Liberal and Liberal to Labour, Conservative remained a consistent presence.  Which is what makes this latest rearranging of the two-party deck chairs unique  — for the first time in 200 years it looks as if the Conservatives are going to be the victims of a radical realignment in British politics. 

Of course we’re really talking England here rather than Britain. The two-party system has been dead for decades in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You could say England is only now catching up with the rest of the country.  And transition can be messy.

After last year’s general election and last week’s local elections, England has gone from a largely two-party system to a five-party system.  Our first-past-the-post voting system produces a clear winner when only two parties are vying for power. But when our votes are spread generously across five parties, the outcome can be unpredictable and haphazard.  Not only will no one party have an overall majority. No party will have anything close to it. So even coalition building becomes problematic. And that carries the risk of becoming ungovernable. 

The catalyst in all this, of course, is Nigel Farage’s insurgent Reform party. It takes disillusioned votes from Labour and Conservative alike. After last year’s general election it is second in 89 Labour seats. And after last week’s elections a majority of these Labour seats are now vulnerable.  But whereas Reform is on track to beat Labour it is on track to replace the Conservatives, which is why the Conservatives have most to lose.  Even traditional Tories now talk privately about the need to have some sort of accommodation with Reform. That could be wishful thinking. 

If Reform heads towards around a 30% share of the vote in the polls — it won a bit more than that in actual votes last week — then the Tories will be languishing in the late teens. And far from securing a friendly merger with Reform — would more likely face a hostile takeover. 

However the chips eventually fall, the Tory-Labour two-party system would seem to be on its last legs. It’s had a good innings but now looks knackered.  Last week showed the Tories have claimed back no ground since their thrashing last July. Indeed they might be losing more. It also confirmed that Labour and its leader Keir Starmer have fallen further and faster in public approval since that landslide victory than any new government in living memory. 

The two-party system which gave Labour and Tory alternate turns at power is now widely derided for having delivered a stagnant economy, squeezed living standards, uncontrolled mass migration, broken public services, a remote woke establishment and unbridled net zero zealotry. 

Voters might not be sure what they want. But they know what they don’t want, which is more of the  same. Which is what propels Reform and the closer it gets to that crucial 30% of the vote the more it will upend politics as we’ve known it.  For it’s at around 30% that a ton of seats start falling Reform’s way. Not enough to give it an overall majority. Not enough to give Farage the keys to 10 Downing Street.  But enough to be the largest party. Enough to have a veto on who forms a government. Enough to make Farage, always underestimated by the political and media establishment, if not king then the kingmaker.“]

Runcorn and Helsby by-election

At time of writing, the Runcorn and Helsby by-election has 9 hours still to run before polls close.

I have blogged that I think that, despite Reform UK not being social-national, and despite the candidate, Sarah Pochin, being rather low-key and also an ex-Conservative, it will probably smash this. It should. After all, what sort of idiot now votes “Labour”-label, even in the North of England? Starmer-stein has shown his true colours— indistinguishable from the Cameron-era “Conservatives”, and a complete puppet of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby.

If I am wrong, and Labour retains the seat, it will be disappointing, though even that will (depending on the figures) show that Labour, as much as the Conservative Party, is in terminal decline.

As previously blogged, all generally pro-British voters should back Reform in this by-election. Former Labour voters who do not want to vote Reform should vote Green or elsewhere, or stay at home. As for former Conservative voters, the Con candidate has no chance at all. If you want to stick it to Labour, vote Reform.

That evil creature is, for once, speaking the truth— NATO is rapidly becoming a dead letter.

The UK needs “walls and squads”. Let’s just leave it there for now.

If replicated at a general election, that would equate to about 349 Reform MPs, and a substantial Commons majority (Lab 130, LibDems 60, SNP 41, Cons 39).

Such a result, placing the Conservative Party only 5th in the Commons (after Reform, Labour, the LibDems, and the SNP) would probably be effectively terminal for the Conservative Party.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

In its effect, that would be almost revolutionary, even if Reform by then were as (((occupied))) as the existing System parties. The System structure would have been broken down. After that, anything might be possible.

Good for them! If a Russian army of millions, even unarmed, were crossing the Channel, the msm, and System politicos, would all be gagging for them to be shot, but the present black/brown cross-Channel invasion is far worse than a Russian invasion (armed or unarmed) would be, because those now invading us are at best useless parasites, at worst criminals, scavengers, predators, and/or hate-filled enemies of our whole way of life.

The whole idea of (in the UK) having elected mayors and, even worse, those risible “police and crime commissioners”, was a very poor policy. The “police and crime commissioner” in Hampshire is a very fat woman who seems to be completely useless, and has never had a job (except political ones such as running Portsmouth Council), let alone a profession, though to give her some credit she at least recognized publicly that the so-called “riots” (protests) in 2024 against immigration or migration invasion were linked to, er, immigration and migration invasion. (Most of the country knows that anyway, true, but few politicians and other System drones have admitted it). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Jones_(British_politician).

(((Witkoff)…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Witkoff#Early_life.

Well, that idea is a non-starter, of course. People need to know what party is running, and that party must have clear ideology and, where appropriate, clear policies, even if only in outline.

As for that Phillipson drone, she is just a System political robot, liar, dissembler etc. A total waste of space, like so many of them.

16 (?) idiots, and probably bussed-in, at that.

…even if fake Labour manage to hang on at Runcorn and Helsby, though naturally I should prefer them to lose and, if possible, heavily.

Betting odds are often unreliable indicators of political events, and that is especially true of by-elections.

At time of writing, about 3 to 4 hours until the declaration at Widnes (for Runcorn and Helsby; apparently, the constituency itself has no hall large enough to accommodate the count and declaration).
