Even in a country such as the USA, with a population of over 340M, figures like that naturally give rise to concern (as does the fact that the tweeter Ali Bradley seems to be ignorant of what the word “majority” means…American education…).
Trump seems to be in a good position to be elected. If he is, Zelensky’s ricebowl will be taken away, and that will seal the fate of the Kiev regime.
“To Israel: You can’t say “never again” while committing a literal genocide. You can’t bring up the Holocaust while detaining Palestinians, including children, in concentration camps. You can’t say you’re the victim while you’re bombing every hospital, bakery, journalist, and child in sight. You can’t say “self defense” while your kids are writing their names on rockets being blasted towards other kids whom you turned into orphans. You can’t say you’re protecting anyone while killing them.“
I notice that more and more people are waking up to “their” fake victimhood “cosplay”.

The “British” Press displays its journalistic skills. Sandbanks is not in Devon. It is not even close to Devon (about 60 miles away). It is in Dorset.
[Update, same day: the Times changed “Devon” to “Dorset“, eventually].
Very true of many brainwashed pawns in the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan and the associated “Black Lives Matter” nonsense, inter alia.
Hard to believe, but there it is…
What is next?
Reminded me of Soylent Green [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green].
“A serious government would have looked at Brexit and recognised the necessity for economic and social reform. The first lesson should have been that mass immigration cannot be a substitute for skills training, and that open borders is not a sustainable answer to labour shortages.
Subsequently, it should have examined the reasons business relies on immigrant labour and modified policy accordingly – up to and including far reaching welfare reform. It should have also taken steps to reform the ponzi scheme that is higher education, ideally dismantling second rate universities in favour of vocational training with a view to improving labour market fluidity.
It should have initiated an immediate energy policy review, dismantling the EU regulatory systems that push up the price of energy.
It should have prioritised nuclear over renewable energy. It should have looked at streamlining energy planning and procurement regulation.
It should have initiated a complete review of food and agriculture policy with a view to improving food security and reducing food miles, cultivating local supply chains, and revising trade policy accordingly.
It should have initiated a complete review of foreign aid, trade and foreign policy in line with clearly defined national priorities.
But our politicians didn’t want any of that. They liked having their thinking done for them. They didn’t see any reason for change and everything they’ve done since has been to prevent meaningful change. Sclerotic mediocrity is how they like it and it’s the best we can hope for.
That is why the Tory party is dying. They were handed a massive majority and a mandate for change and they did precisely nothing with it. They wasted our votes and our time. They squandered every opportunity and walked away from every fight. Instead of taking the cue for radical change, they doubled down on all the worst aspects of centrist consensus politics on everything from immigration to energy, in lockstep with the EU as though we never voted to leave.
Immigration is now out of control, rents have skyrocketed, energy prices are insane, university degrees are next to worthless, and now they’re inflicting heat pumps and EVs on us when nobody can afford either, nobody even wants them, and we don’t have the electricity to power them.
Now we find ourselves with nobody worth voting for, and a decrepit opposition party set to inherit power by accident of numbers, and virtually nobody thinks it will be an improvement.
There is no means by which we can arrest the decline – while the media gaslights us by telling us this is the most right wing government in history.
Not only does the Tory party deserve to die, it is a necessary precursor to any kind of British renaissance. The conservative party only wishes to conserve a stagnant status quo even if it drags us into the dark ages.
We are condemned to drab, anti-patriotic technocratic managerialism and a zombie establishment that has long since abdicated from its obligation to govern. They are rotten, debased, corrupt and ineffectual in everything they do.
Every iteration of it is like a bad Hollywood sequel – a jaded repeat bereft of ideas and energy, oblivious to its own creative death spiral.
The cancer has now spread to all of the state’s vital organs, and the patient is now on life support. Nothing short of a medical miracle can revive it from its persistant vegetative state. The only merciful thing to do is to let it die.”
I agree with pretty much all of that analysis.
Quite. I hate and despise the misnamed Conservative Party, but also despise and hate the equally-misnamed Labour Party. Other misnamed parties? The “Scottish National Party” (currently run by a Pakistani) and the “Liberal Democrats”.
…and if you say anything about all that, at least in the UK, some malicious Jew-Zionist volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy and Government (eg the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) will suborn or corrupt the police and the prosecution service in order to bring down upon you the weight of the criminal law (while, in the real world, real crime explodes).
Obviously. Even at present, 75%+ of the invaders are given leave to remain. That’s 75% or 80% of the actual small boat invaders; the “legal” ones are all allowed to stay for the period of their visa, but many who stay beyond that are also, one way or another, allowed to stay in the end.
Overall, something like 95% of the various types of migrant invader are —eventually— allowed to stay indefinitely. As a nation and possibly, later, as a state, the UK faces ruin.
In Africa and Asia live hundreds of millions who would like to come here. Yes, in time that will reduce the UK to a “third world” level, but they cannot see that. All they see is a country still hugely better than their own. They want what we have, or they think we have. Even if our living standards continue to slide, for the black/brown invaders that is irrelevant. They are used to much worse conditions.
Therefore, the migration invasion will continue until our society collapses into chaos and/or civil war. When? Maybe as early as 2030, maybe a little later. By 2050, for sure, as things are going. Thank God I shall probably not be here to see it face to face.

I wonder how much of that will find its way to the Ukrainian people at ground level? Rhetorical question. Not much (if any).
“Former Israeli Chief of Staff Dan Halutz said that Israel has lost the war against Hamas and Netanyahu must be overthrown. According to him, the real losses of the army are hidden, and for almost two months of ground operations there are virtually no strategic or even tactical victories in the Gaza Strip.“
It would be a mistake to assume that all Jews, even all Israelis, are behind the continuing devastation in Gaza. My own guess is that most would have been satisfied by a week or so of targeted, albeit bloody, attacks in retaliation for the stunning surprise attack by Hamas forces in southern Israel in October.
There was a film, several years ago, interviewing former chiefs of Israeli intelligence and security; they were far less gung-ho than Netanyahu and his clique, or the malicious and unpleasant Jew-Zionists one sees or hears of in places such as London, Leeds, New York etc.

By the by, I keep wondering whether the Israeli Government, like F.D. Roosevelt before Pearl Harbor, knew of the October attack by Hamas before it happened, but let it go ahead in order to have to popular support —initially— for what is now happening in —in the Israeli case— Gaza, which amounts to an attempt to occupy Gaza and drive out its 2M inhabitants.
That may read like “conspiracy theory”, but so many of such theories turn out to be just true in the end. Why did it take Israeli forces several hours, in some cases 12 hours, to deploy to the site of the October attack? Israel is small. Tel Aviv is only 44 miles from the border of Gaza, and maybe 60 miles from the site of the Hamas attack in October.
When I was a practising barrister based in Exeter, in SW England (2002-2008), I lived in a country house about 4 miles north of Launceston (Cornwall) and almost exactly 45 miles west from my Exeter chambers. Same distance as Tel Aviv to Gaza. One day, I made the journey, door to door, in only 35 mins. I am sure that the supposedly elite Israeli forces can deploy in at least similar time (by road or helicopter), if they are so ordered. So why did they apparently take many hours in October?

A day or two ago, I caught a few minutes of a political quiz on Sky News. Radio politico Nick Ferrari, some black woman (I think Dawn Butler), useless half-Jew former MP and now (absurdly) member of the House of Lords, Ed Vaizey, and “British” Indian pseudo-Communist, Ash Sarkar. All wearing silly Christmas hats for the occasion.
What struck me (again) is that the System TV would never have a social-national person on such a show, but there is political bad joke, Ash Sarkar, sitting there happily alongside Ed Vaizey, despite having commended not only socialism but Communism on air many times. She was obviously loving being part of the System mass media in-club…
Only social-national people and policies can now save Europe. The System easily suborns and buys the Ash Sarkar type. Paid TV appearances, even alongside the so-called “class enemy”, articles in newspapers, social media profile (and income). Pseudo-radical careerists and profiteers.
Owen Jones similarly. These are play-“revolutionaries”, play-radicals, and almost ludicrously-easily manipulated by the System.
