The Gorton and Denton by-election.

I have blogged my views in previous blog posts over the past month or so. Now the voters are voting, and the result will be known tonight or tomorrow. All three main contenders —Reform, Green, Labour— are neck-and-neck.

[“A few details the jew below ‘accidentally’ left out for obvious reasons:

  • The Struma was actually originally a steam-powered luxury yacht but was old and was being used as a cattle transport on the Danube before being outfitted with a cheap old second-hand diesel engine for the voyage.
  • The jews on board all paid the Betar movement (the Revisionist Zionist Youth Movement) large amounts of money for their tickets to go to Palestine and Betar handled everything else. Originally the Haganah were going to use the Struma for the same thing but from Bulgaria to Palestine.
  • The jews on board were from Romania not the Third Reich plus 60 members of the Betar movement and their leaving Romania had the support and encouragement of the Romanian government.
  • Betar lied to the jewish passengers and claimed they were just going to make a short stop in Turkey to ‘collect their visas for Palestine’.
  • Betar only put two lifeboats on the Struma for 791 crew and passengers.
  • Betar packed the bottom of the ship with bunkbeds so as to cram as many jewish passengers in as possible.
  • The diesel engine immediately failed when the Struma was getting out of the harbour in Romania.
  • The Romanian navy towed the Struma at Betar’s request out to sea and through the Axis minefields to make sure they were okay. Then the Romanians left while Betar tried to repair their diesel motor.
  • Betar failed to repair the Struma’s diesel engine and signalled distress. The Romanian navy returned and Betar demanded the Romanians fix their engine for free; the Romanians refused and requested to be paid for their time and the parts. Betar refused to pay the Romanians so the passengers paid the Romanians with their wedding rings instead; the Romanians then fixed the Stuma’s engine.
  • Two days later the Struma’s engine promptly failed again and she was towed into Istanbul harbour by the Turkish navy on 15th December 1941.
  • It was then revealed that Betar hadn’t arranged any visas to Palestine at all for the passengers or the Betar youth. The British refused them permission to migrate to Palestine as illegal immigrants (per the British White Paper of 1939 on this) and Turkey refused to grand them entry as illegal immigrants (so as to not encourage more such immigration and burden their tax payers and ports).
  • Weeks of negotiation followed between the British and Turks; the jews then ran out of food and refused to let Turkish police board the Struma. The result was the British honoured expired visas for Palestine held by a couple of the passengers plus granted visas to any jew who was 11-16 years old. While the Turks hospitalized one jew who was ill but the bulk of the jews didn’t fit this criteria. However neither the British or the Turks agreed to take these jewish illegal immigrants.
  • The Turkish government spent weeks trying to repair the Struma’s engine but failed. Eventually the Turkish authorities had had enough of jews demanding things from them (food, immigration visas, free repairs etc) so they towed the Struma out to international waters for jewish organizations or another country to sort out.
  • The Struma floats around a bit with no engine; jewish groups make no attempt to rescue the crew and passengers.
  • Soviet submarine Shch-213 on secret orders to engage in unrestricted submarine warfare sinks the Struma which is still overcrowded and only has two lifeboats.
  • The Turkish navy tries to effect a rescue but are too late.

In other words: the Struma disaster was almost entirely the fault of the Betar Zionist Youth organization and nothing to do with the Axis whatsoever with the only minimal blame going to the British, the Soviets and the Turks.“]

[“The by-election in Gorton and Denton shows that democracy can’t survive in a multicultural country. It just becomes a demographic head count.

People no longer vote according to values or policy, they vote according to tribal loyalties and concerns.

As the non-native population grows it will vote for redistribution of wealth from the native population, assisted by leftists who ally with them against their common enemies of “capitalism”, “the nation state” and “attractive, successful people”. This is already happening – look at the Green Party.

Why did you think the left brought these people in?

Unless British people realise what’s happening and deal with it (unlikely because it would mean rejecting the national religion of multiculturalism, saying no to women and being a bit mean to people who hate us), the best we can hope for is South Africanisation; a dwindling productive population squeezed by an increasingly bitter and entitled majority.

Worst case scenario: Lebanon.

In essence, points made on the blog many times.

Frightening to think how many idiots such as that woman live in this country, even in areas such as Gorton and Denton, which are (I read) such as you would think might cause them to know better.

Seems that she wants more immigrants to arrive. “Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.”

As the woman said, though, she is voting against Labour and Reform, more than just voting for the Greens. A protest vote, mostly.

I agree with him. That freak may (we shall see) soon be a Member of Parliament. An enemy of the future of the British people. Still, I want Starmer-stein Labour to lose more than I want the freak and her pseudo-“green” fellow-freaks to lose, albeit that the best result at the by-election would be a win for Goodwin and Reform.

As previously blogged, I have found that the betting market is a poor predictor of by-election results, and anyway, at time of writing there is still a 5-hour window in which eligible voters can vote. The Greens may win, but Reform and Goodwin also have a sporting chance, despite the fact that a third of the voters in that semi-ghetto are non-white.

Deborah Meaden is a fake, in my opinion. Pretends to be so “caring/sharing/communitarian”, while grubbing and grabbing as much money as possible in the finance-capitalist marketplace, and posing as some kind of “green”-aware capitalist despite sometimes using private helicopters.

Unenforceable“? In places such as Afghanistan, it is illegal for women not to be covered; any woman defying that edict is taken away, beaten, even shot. In other words, the edict is, in a word, enforced… Just reverse the requirement, and a ban would be enforceable here too (though I myself see such a ban as pointless anyway).

If the idea is to stop people wearing face coverings at marches, demonstrations etc, then again the ban would be enforceable, in principle, but this is not a major issue.

Whichever party wins the by-election, it is clear that the old “three main (LibLabCon) parties” rigged scam is finished. It is also clear that the voters are now mainly voting on ethnic lines. What will matter in the future is not who has the most votes, but who has the most, and best, soldiers.

Also, the LibDems used to be notorious as the shameless party that jumped on every bandwagon to get votes, espousing different policies in different constituencies. That “accolade” has now been transferred to the Green Party…

Interesting. While Restore Britain is more to my taste, ideologically, than Reform UK, it is still not social-national and, at present, not able to smash the old LibLabCon scam, Reform is the only party with sufficient public profile.

All part of the gradual slide to dystopia in this country

Interesting hand gesture…

As blogged yesterday, the latest opinion polling puts Reform, Labour, and the Greens within about one percentage point of each other in the Gorton and Denton by-election contest. It’s wide open, with less than 24 hours before the real polls open.

[“After much work on the part of several committed individuals, we were able to find a VERY hard-to-find manuscript of Entdecktes Judenthum, or Judaism Unmasked by Johann Andreas Eisenmenger (1711). It wasn’t easy. Entdecktes Judenthum has been called arguably the most censored book in the Western World (it probably is). Written after Eisenmenger spent approximately nineteen years in the research and composition, beginning around 1680. He studied Hebrew and Aramaic to scholarly proficiency. He worked through the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud, the Midrash (including Midrash Rabbah and related collections), the Zohar and kabbalistic literature, Maimonides, and a wide range of medieval rabbinical commentaries and responsa literature. He pretended to be a Jewish convert to learn directly from the Rabbis themselves, the only way, considering the Talmud forbids teaching it to the goyim. Before it could be disseminated, the Jewish banking community in Frankfurt bribed the magistrate to confiscate it and destroy the manuscripts, and it’s been censored ever since. Broken links. Scrubbed archives. Digital libraries that had quietly made it disappear. AI assistants that refused to search archives or refused to help find it. Decoys that gave us wild goose chases that led to pro-Talmud books after translating. Dirty tricks! But they found it, printed in archaic typeface angular blackletter script, used modern OCR software for optical character recognition, and normalized the orthography into contemporary German so that it could be processed accurately by translation tools. Basically, it was archeology converted to English. We hope no one ever has to do it again. But that’s the point. ENTDECKTES JUDENTHUM will be available in English for the first time in a widely accessible edition. FOR FREE. Unrestricted and reproducible without permission. We ask nothing. We claim no copyright. We want this to spread. It will be available via PDF for FREE this weekend to everyone and available in ebook formats with additional tools and resources for I2I premium subscribers this weekend also. It will be made available in hardback paper as soon as the printers are done with it AT COST. We are publishing this because the Church of Jesus Christ is entitled to read what has been hidden from us, and because we believe light is the only appropriate response to darkness. God will do with it what He will. Find it at Insight to Incite. Share around. No copyright. Get it out. Link in bio. HT @DEI4WhiteGuys and @UpdatedWorks and I2I subscribers.”]

I do not agree with that conclusion. I still think that Reform (Matt Goodwin) could do this. All three main contenders (the others are jokes and wasted votes) are within one point of each other, around 28% (so not far off the 30% each I predicted weeks ago on the blog).

What surprises me, even in a constituency full of uncultured, uneducated Pakistani Muslims and former tribal-Labour English, is that over a quarter of voters are, even now, going to vote Labour! What do they have between their ears? Not brains, I think.

That has occurred to me, as have several other theories. One of those would be that Farage wants Reform to be a kind of populist “Conservative” party with a few add-ons, whereas Matt Goodwin is halfway to social-nationalism (having started his ideological journey, years ago, as a kind of “anti-fascist” academic stooge-type. I think he even tweeted against me once or twice). Certainly Farage has not been very supportive of Goodwin during the by-election campaign.

It occurred to me that Mandelson might (but probably would not) flee to Israel, as a Jew with “right of return”, and I put that on the blog about a week ago, but the BVI (British Virgin Islands)?! Absurd. The BVI is a British Overseas Territory, so not a safe place of sanctuary.

[“Israel is increasingly concerned with the emigration problem. 230,800 Israelis left from 2023-25 and the number of Israelis canceling their residency quadrupled. What makes the problem more severe for Israel is the profile of those leaving:

1) Nearly 48% of those leaving are aged 20 to 45, and 27% are children or teenagers, indicating that entire families are relocating.
2) Over 8,000 high-tech workers left between October 2023 and mid-2024 alone. High-wage earners now make up one-third of all emigrants, up from a quarter in previous years.
3) There has been a “concerning increase” in the departure of doctors (over 400 in 2023 alone) and specialists in STEM fields. In a 20-month period, over 600 PhD holders and 3,000 engineers moved abroad.
4) 75% of those leaving are under 40, representing the core of Israel’s future workforce and tax base.

The ramifications are significant:

1) Emigrants in 2023–2024 had paid over 1.5 billion shekels (~$490 million) in income tax the year prior to leaving. Since the tech sector provides roughly one-third of all state income tax, its contraction threatens the funding of public services.
2) High-tech contributes 17% of Israel’s GDP and 57% of its exports. The The Israel Innovation Authority warns that a sustained loss of these “innovation drivers” could lead to a permanent slowdown in growth and investment.
3) The exit of doctors exacerbates an already critical shortage of medical personnel, potentially leading to longer wait times and reduced quality of care.
4) As secular, liberal-leaning Israelis leave, the remaining population tilts more toward religious and nationalist sectors. This shift could further deepen internal polarization and fundamentally alter the “social contract” that binds Israeli society.
5) For the first time in 15 years, Israel has seen a negative migration balance, challenging the Zionist vision of the country as a primary safe haven for Jews worldwide.

Israel continues to move towards a future as a theocratic, authoritarian state. It will also be a poorer one with less innovation.“]

Israel is doomed.

Ah, so Farage did visit the Gorton and Denton constituency, maybe more than once. Other tweets show that he is there right now.

The polls open at 0700 hrs tomorrow morning. A few votes may decide the issue.

Whether Matt Goodwin wins it for Reform, or the Greens win it, or even if Labour retains the seat by a whisker, any of those outcomes will show that Labour is on the way out. Labour scored 50.8% there in 2024, so any result less than 1. a Labour win but also 2. with at least 40% of the votes cast, is bad for Labour and for Starmer. Gorton and Denton has always been a “tribal” Labour area.

Thus speaks the typical “Westminster Bubbler”, or political gossip insider. Politics as a matter of organization, “comms”, a get-the-vote-out local machine etc.

Dan Hodges may be right, and all of the above matter.

For me, the actual result is not the main thing. For one thing, a third of the voters are Muslims, mostly Pakistanis. As far as I am concerned, their participation renders the vote non-legitimate anyway, if it results in a win for Labour or the Greens.

Secondly, what matters is that, even were Labour to win with, say, 35% of the vote, that means that in most of the country, in places where Labour is not part of a secular trinity (Labour-NHS-football), Labour is toast.

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.

[Manet, 1864, Eel and Red Mullet]

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].

[“Exclusive: Two of the key documents held by the government on Lord Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador will not be made public until after the police investigation and any criminal trial has concluded It means it will be months or even possibly years before they see the light of day That includes the Cabinet Office due diligence report given to Keir Starmer prior to Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador It details public evidence about their friendship – the fact Mandelson stayed at Epstein’s New York apartment while he was in jail for sex offences, the JP Morgan report saying the two men had a ‘particularly close’ relationship It will raise significant questions about Starmer’s judgment The three questions Starmer put to Mandelson and his responses will also be withheld.

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.”

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…

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?

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…

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.

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?

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…

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…).

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.

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.

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

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]

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.

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.

Eerie.

That airport seems to be Israel’s Achilles’ heel. Of course, they could use other airfields or airstrips, but I daresay that many civilian passengers would not be comfortable with that; a perception of peril etc.
