Britain, for example, has a “fifth column” in its society. Members of that fifth column occupy influential positions in government, the legal professions, the mass media, publishing etc.

Earlier today I heard an argument that Labour should now focus on its core vote of young metropolitans and white collar workers. That McSweeney leaving means Labour don’t have to pander to the Brexit Backing Red Wall and can focus instead on the yuppies who indulgently support The Greens.
Given that most working class folk despise Labour and sense it despises them, if the strategy is to demonise them even more and abandon them even further, Labour will struggle to ever get back into power.
The party that tackles immigration and speaks to the vilified and trampled underbelly of ordinary folk who are fed up with being ostracised in their own nation will sweep to victory.
Labour are hastening that revolution.“]

[“This scene is extremely painful… and like so many others, it may pass without consequence. But it will not pass before my eyes without speaking a word of truth. Imagine being that person returning from somewhere, carrying a few items for his children. From friends’ comments, it becomes clear he was a teacher, someone who raised generations. 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? What peace are they speaking of? What monitoring committee are they discussing? When blood is being spilled openly, in broad daylight… What kind of oppression is this?

Voting intention: Reform lead Labour by 7. At just 44% this is actually highest combined vote for 2 traditional main parties since October
➡️ REF UK 30% (nc) 🌹 LAB 23% (+2) 🌳 CON 21% (+1) 🔶 LIB DEM 12% (-2) 🌍 GREEN 10% (nc) 🟡 SNP 2% (-1)
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.
EXCL: Allies of Wes Streeting say he still wants to replace Keir Starmer and is willing to stand against him as soon as after Gorton byelection later this month.

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.

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.
“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.

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.

I have found that the betting odds are poor predictors of by-election results, but for what it might be worth, the Greens are now favourite, and are marginally odds-on, Reform is now around 7/4, but Labour has now gone way out, and stands at around 17/2 (Advance UK 150/1, LibDems 500/1, Conservatives 1,000/1).

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:
Almost a year after the whole Jack Monroe debacle began, our nightmare is finally over, and we can make a new start #jackmonroepic.twitter.com/sh6KSobQwg
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.

[“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.“]
[Andrew Neil]
Late talking point
As Tim Stanley points put in The Telegraph, both parties have decided that the lesson to take from being beaten is to do more of the same. They just refuse to actually listen.

1629? I should have thought that 1829 was more accurate. Never mind.
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.

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.
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).

How stupid are they to vote labour? They hate and punish us every day. Mood music in Runcorn and Helsby is nervous optimism for Reform – but it's too close to call https://t.co/yCfa7Fd5y8
How is ANYONE in Runcorn and Helsby still voting Labour at this point? Do they actively enjoy being shat on by the party? We really need to take party names OFF ballot papers. https://t.co/nQTqZE9b7w
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.
A crowd of protesters gathered outside the count in Runcorn and Helsby on Thursday night.
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).
Well, the by-election is to be held the day after tomorrow, Thursday 1 May 2025. The chance for the voters of that area to make British political history. At present, Reform and Labour are neck-and-neck, according to the opinion polls. I have already blogged that I think that Reform can smash it, but that depends on all Reform-leaning voters getting out and voting, if they have not already done so by postal ballot. As for 2024 General Election Con voters, the Conservative Party candidate has no chance at all at the by-election (and got only 16% last year); so to stick it to Labour, vote Reform.
Any 2024 Labour voters wanting to send a message to Starmer-stein can either vote Reform (or, failing that, at least for some other party that is standing a candidate) or simply abstain.
If Reform can win the by-election, then both Labour and Con are doomed; if Labour manage to hang on, that too says that Labour is doomed, because Runcorn and Helsby was the 16th most-Labour seat as recently as July last year. A mere Labour win, unconvincing, would say that most of the country hates Starmer-stein and his fake Labour-label.

I agree with tweeter “@CambrayXX”. Who are the Labour Party supporters in these polls? I think that the answer is that the UK is now about 20% non-white. Labour Party support is running at about 25%. Most blacks and browns (and other non-Brits) vote Labour.
By my reckoning, and using Electoral Calculus, those figures would give Reform 271 MPs, Labour 176, LibDems 69, Cons 68. Enough of the surviving Con MPs would defect to Reform, or make an accommodation, to give Reform a working majority.
Hard to understand why any white English/Welsh/Scottish person would vote Labour-label now. The policies are indistinguishable from those pursued by “Conservatives” David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne from 2010-2015.
I think that, especially in the North of England, there are still people around who support Labour in the same manner as they do their local football team— unthinkingly, and because their grandparents did; and maybe they have not noticed that Starmer-stein’s Labour-label of 2025 is just not the same party Labour was in 1975, or 1965, or 1945. It has become a different party with a similar label.
The same or similar is true of many unthinking “Conservative” voters in the more southerly parts of the UK.

Seems that the Labour brand, so to speak, is being trashed not mainly by the drunken behaviour of thuggish ex-MP, Mike Amesbury, but more by Starmer-stein and his rabble of a fake Labour Cabinet. That woman in the doorway is going to vote not for Reform but for the Greens, as she finally said.

What a disappointment Dan Jarvis has been. I had thought that, as an ex-officer, and with a varied life-background, he would be better as an MP than he has been. Seems to be very pro the Jewish/Israel lobby, for one thing.
Actually, ex-officers usually are disappointing, not infrequently useless, both as MPs and, especially, as ministers (cf. Johnny Mercer, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, Ben Wallace etc).

Well, 6/10 this week, trumping the 2/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 3, 5, and 8.
The Jewish-Zionist plot to bring down Corbyn
Starmer is just a piece of cardboard which is moved from place to place but there was intentionality from the donors behind him: destroy the popular left and make Labour into a new, "responsible" Tory party. 2024 Labour voters were conned just as members were conned in 2020.
The website Declassified UK has published a review of a book on the anti-Corbyn campaign, headlined “Morgan McSweeney’s ‘plot without precedent in Labour history’— A new book chronicles how Labour strategist Morgan McSweeney used ‘any means necessary’ to destroy Corbyn as leader and install Starmer.”
As one would expect, the book and the review both term the anti-Corbyn plotters “the Right“, rather than “Jews” or “Jew-Zionists”; and they use the now so-outdated “Right/Left” descriptors.
In fact, the plot to topple Corbyn was plainly one planned and funded by pro-Israeli, and probably actual Israeli, sources at root, though carried out by Zionists or pro-Zionists not all of which were Jews (though many were).
I followed Corbyn’s progress on the blog almost from when the blog started in late 2016; certainly from 2017. It was clear to me that there was a basically Jewish —and almost certainly also Israeli— conspiracy to topple him.
Not that I much favoured Corbyn, a relatively uneducated man with simplistic socialist policy viewpoints. Also, while being anti-Israeli, Corbyn always gave lip-service to some of the Zionist propaganda regulars, such as the WW2 “holocaust” narrative. He was not ruthless enough to crush his enemies.
Still, Corbyn was at least a recognizable and relatively decent English type. Starmer (“Starmer-stein”) has no decency and is just a careerist drone, out for what he can get, as witness his grabbing whatever freebies, expenses-paid items, holiday trips etc he and his Jewish wife can grab. Also, of course, his directionless travel on policy.
The fake-Labour “welfare” cuts, the cheating of the pensioners, unemployed, sick, disabled etc. The U-turn on the “trans” nonsense, too. On the one hand on his knees (literally, with Angela Rayner) before the black mobs of “Black Lives Matter”, but then playing the poundshop Stalin when English people got angry at the migration-invasion.
The website post is worth reading, but cannot be linked to, it seems.

Balashikha is, inter alia, a kind of colony for high-ranking Russian military people, situated east of Moscow, and a kind of outer suburb.
The Kiev regime seems to be able to hit individuals in Russia quite efficiently. It is an open question whether the Kiev-regime secret services have, or have had, the help of the CIA and/or MOSSAD to do that. Not the CIA any more, I should have thought.
Of course, such assassinations, while high-profile, do not change the fact that, on the ground in Ukraine, Russian forces continue to advance steadily on all relevant sectors of the front.

Outrageous. The British state is now taking away even more homes for hardworking, tax-paying Britons and instead giving them to illegal immigrants who break our laws. These people should be deported -not put in private housing at the taxpayers’ expense https://t.co/aUiyZsVaub
As I predicted long ago on the blog. I said that Starmer-stein would try to “solve” the “small boats” migration-invasion by “processing” claims (rubberstamping them) swiftly, possibly overseas, thus magically turning illegal immigrants into legal ones, then emptying the asylum hotels by gifting the invaders council housing or State-paid private rental housing that should be going to British people.
This is happening all over Britain —“HMOs” (Houses for multiple occupancy) being pushed into communities across Britain despite nobody wanting them
I hope that the voters of Runcorn and Helsby send a firm message —by voting Reform— to Starmer-stein at the by-election next Thursday.
It is if we are ignoring the Tories have been doing the same for a year(s). SERCO contracts are not new to the PRS. Neither are false promises to stop the boats.

On those figures, Reform would have well over 250 MPs, Labour fewer than 190, and the Cons only 75. The Cons might then be the third-largest party in the Commons, but possibly only the fourth-largest. Terminal.

Puppet and mouthpiece of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, Iain Dale, does not think that the public should be allowed to see or hear the truth on this issue.
The fact is that, proportionate to the population(s), non-whites commit far more crimes than white English/British people.
In fact, even publishing the formal national origins of persons convicted does not and will not tell the whole story, because many of the non-whites committing crimes hold “British” nationality; indeed, many were born here. In quite many cases, those non-whites committing crimes have parents and indeed even grandparents born here, by reason of the mass immigration that has hit Britain in the past 80 years (mostly the past 60 years, indeed the past 30).
I recall how amazed I was, as a belated Bar pupil (trainee barrister) and then junior barrister (early 1990s) to see how high was the proportion of non-whites on trial in the criminal courts of London. That was 33-34 years ago. Imagine now!
If you were to take out the figures relating to “travellers” (Irish tinkers) etc, the proportion of actual English/British defendants would be even smaller, very considerably so,

Ukraine's accession to NATO will not be on the agenda of US-EU negotiations this week, writes British journalist Owen Matthews in an article for The Telegraph, citing an interview with US President's special envoy Steve Witkoff and leaked information in the press.
Time flies to such an extent that, when I read that book, 14-15 years ago, around 2010 or 2011, I got halfway through before I realized that I had known the author’s mother (though only slightly) in the early 1980s, when I was taking a part-time Russian language course at a language institute near Euston Square in Central London. The language school was part of what is now the University of Westminster. Ludmilla Matthews was one of about 5 teachers I had. I think that her subject was Russian Conversation.
Ludmilla Matthews had something not quite right with one of her feet. She was kind enough to say once that my (in fact quite rudimentary) Russian at the time was “stylish“. I remember her mainly for having talked to me about her reluctant acquaintanceship with a (literally) mad Russian or Russian/Polish girl. That was after said girl had almost kidnapped me by guile, having said that I looked like St. Herman of Alaska (I had a beard at the time), and that she had an icon of St. Herman above her bed at her home in Kensington, and would I like to see it? You get the picture.
Anyway, Owen Matthews, now 53 and a well-known international journalist and writer, must have been about 12 when his mother was my once-a-week teacher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Matthews.
I have written once before on the blog about these matters, I think.

Well-known Jews who have been mercilessly targeted by other Jews include the jazz musician Gilad Atzmon (I think that he is a half-Jew), author Michael Rosen, and the actress Miriam Margolyes. Another anti-Israel Jewess, the journalist Mira Bar-Hillel, too:
“Ms Bar-Hillel, who was born in Jerusalem and served as a folk singer in the IDF, claimed she was the victim of a trolling campaign. “You cannot criticise anything to do with Israel or Jews. You start by criticising Israeli government policy and then you get attacked by Jews,” she said…“I’m prejudiced against Jews who criticise me. Their religion has everything to do with it. I’m reporting something that’s horribly wrong with the policies of Israel and they attack me. In my long career no other group has acted in this way.
“When I’m being attacked I feel I’m being attacked by communal action. That community view is very dangerous. It is intimidation. The best way to respond to these things is to simply ignore them. It starts to be like a gang-bang.”

This blog punches above its weight. It may only have a relatively small number of regular readers (and far fewer commentators), but it has influenced many many people. It has reached directly about 150 states and territories in the world, and quite possibly all 200 or so indirectly.
I have always taken the view that “one human soul is a big audience“, and that if I can influence one young Alexander, Adolf Hitler, Mahatma Gandhi or, indeed, Moses, then the fact that I do not have a huge audience or a readership of millions becomes irrelevant. As Dietrich Eckart said when nearing the end of his life, “do not mourn me…I shall have influenced history more than any other German“.
I often see used distinctive phrases I myself have used (first) in the past, whether on the blog or from tweets when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter in 2018, following a concerted campaign or conspiracy which lasted several years, and which continues).
For example, I think I was the first to use the terms “migration invasion” and “migrant invaders”, since echoed by many politicians and others, including even some Prominente from System parties.
If you put a drop of intense ultramarine dye into a pool, pond or lake, after a while, the water goes blue; all the water. My blog has that kind of influence, despite the fact that most of my blog posts have been read by, at most, only a few thousand people (each), even after several years.
It is because my blog has influence far beyond its actual numbers of readers that the Jew-Zionist lobby has made extensive efforts to shut it down over the past 8-9 years since first publication in late 2016.
Well, so far I am still here, and the blog is still being published near-daily, despite malicious complaints by Jews, despite backstairs attempts to procure prosecutions (by Israel puppets such as ex-MP —now “lord”— Ian Austin), despite repeated police interference, despite my having been put on trial in 2023, despite my having been sentenced in 2024, despite everything.
On the macro level, I see things beginning to move my way.

Three years ago I would walk across town and see a couple of Africans now and again who have been here for years. Now there are dozens. More each week it seems. Why? Wouldn't they be happier in places like Little Lagos Peckham? Or Bradford or Birmingham? Why are they in small…
Britain has been invaded and is being occupied: “legal” immigrants (supposed spouses, fiancees, students, work-visa holders, then illegal immigrants on “small boats etc”, then births to those non-white women already in the UK, and also to stupid white/British women impregnated by blacks).
Again, Reform in the top two places of an opinion poll. I think that all opinion polls for the past 6-9 months have had Reform either top or second.
The “Conservatives” have no chance after their 14 years of appalling misgovernment 2010-2024, especially now that their idiot MPs and ordinary members have (for the second time) chosen to be led by a non-white, non-British “leader”.
On the Opinium figures, the Commons would have both Reform and Labour on 228 MPs, Cons with 97, and LibDems with 43 (taking LibDems and Green as each having a 10% vote-share). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html
As with so many other recent polls, a Reform/Con government would be the only possibility, on those numbers, or a minority Reform government.
Very different figures, but same basic story. On those numbers, though, Reform UK would have about 325 MPs, one short of an absolute majority, but enough for a very thin working majority, without the need for support.
On the numbers there, Labour would have 154 MPs, Cons 58, and LibDems 45. If that were to happen, the Conservative Party would be utterly irrelevant, and likely to decline to near-zero over time.
Not sure whether that likely Con terminal decline would be the best result, or whether the best consequence of such an electoral result would be that Labour would have only 154 MPs instead of 403 (as now). A loss of 249 MPs. 249 upset System drones (plus 63 equally-upset Con ex-MPs; wonderful again…).
German courts say: cope. British courts say: coddle.

EXCLUSIVE. The man who the UK just banned from entering the country —French novelist, philosopher and critic of mass immigration Renaud Camus—will be joining me on State of the Nation @GBNEWS tonight at 8pm to give his reaction. You do not want to miss this.
The even more depressing thing about this is you could make such a list for almost every high street in Britain. Another example of how mass immigration is exploiting and hollowing out our country. https://t.co/gp3kkKyeEM
3. One from left field actually. A bag shop in a premium location staffed by exactly who you’d think it’s staffed by, and the stock hasn’t changed in months. Prob 3k+ in rent and rates, flagrant. Lovely stuff. pic.twitter.com/5TVCbWkGLF

This was very tough to narrow down to 6 faves as there are plenty of other barbers and vape shops. Honourable mention to this one which sells vapes, phone repairs AND poppers and bongs. Something for everyone. Obviously 2 staff and never seen a customer in it. pic.twitter.com/XJYWpabsRo

The time will probably come when very harsh measures will have to be implemented.

If that is representative of the proportional losses of the Ukrainian and Russian forces, then the Kiev-regime is losing perhaps 20 soldiers for every Russian soldier killed.

[“Trump: US will leave talks if sabotage occurs, military aid to Ukraine suspended “If we see anyone trying to sabotage the negotiating process, the United States will withdraw from the negotiations,” Trump stressed.

Looks as though the matter is moving towards the endgame, at least as far as American aid to the Kiev regime is concerned.
