Such barbarians have no place in Europe. Untermenschen. Put him up against a wall.
[“A century ago, one in every four big trees in the eastern forests of America was a chestnut, and every autumn the country under them ate for free.
The American chestnut was a giant, a hundred feet tall, and there were close to four billion of them from Maine to the Deep South. Each autumn they dropped a carpet of sweet nuts so thick you raked it up by the sackful. Families roasted them all winter. Hogs and cattle were turned loose in the woods to fatten on them for nothing. Turkey, deer and bear lived off the same mast. The timber, straight and rot-proof, built the barns, the fence posts and the furniture. One tree fed the people, fattened the livestock, carried the wildlife through winter, then built the house.
Then in 1904 a blight arrived on imported Asian chestnut stock, spotted first on the trees at the Bronx Zoo. It moved through the forest at fifty miles a year, and by the 1940s it had killed close to four billion trees, nearly every mature chestnut on the continent. One of the worst ecological catastrophes in the country’s history.
Here is the part that should stop you. The tree is not quite dead. The old roots still send up shoots, year after year, that the blight cuts down before they grow tall enough to fruit. A century on, the stumps are still trying, and still failing.
A free harvest that fed a continent every autumn for thousands of years, gone in forty, and still reaching for a sky it will never reach again.”]
Sounds as though there is hope, at least.
Refers to senior Labour Friends of Israel drone, James Purnell, being appointed as Burnham’s Chief of Staff.
Purnell is a horrible careerist, entirely in the Jewish/Israeli pocket. Pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, anti-Welfare State, anti any privileges for pensioners, pro- finance capitalism, and pro-globalism. An outright enemy of the people.

Well, the clearest signal yet that the Burnham regime will be along the same basic lines as the Starmer regime.
Pretty obvious what his proclivities are (likely to be)…
[“Here are three seemingly separate stories you might have missed in the last week in the UK that, taken together, reveal something far more profound.
First, it’s emerged that pro-immigration campaigners helped place and prepare illegal migrants in the audience on the BBC flagship debate programme, Question Time, to “test” pro-migration messages in front of the British people.
Second, it’s been revealed that a writer who helped craft storylines on the popular BBC primetime soap Eastenders is a “migration and racial justice” activist who works on “changing people’s views” through popular culture.
And third, it’s been revealed that the family of Rhiannon Whyte — a young mother who was stabbed to death by an illegal migrant from Sudan — was guided by state officials to “tone down” their statement after Rhiannon’s murder, because of fears it might cause unrest among the wider population.
Three seemingly different stories that involve three different institutions – the BBC, the creative industry, and the British state. What do they all have in common?
They all reflect the Narrative State — a state that no longer sees its main role as being to describe reality but present a warped version of reality that reflects and reinforces its dominant ideology.“]
We are going to need a lot of walls and squads…
[“Burnham’s allies have told the “i” newspaper he plans to water down Labour’s plans to reform ‘indefinite leave to remain’.
Reminder: many of those who are being given the right to remain are part of the disastrous Boriswave which nobody voted for.
It was an enormous betrayal of the British people.
Burnham’s allies talk about “fairness”.
But how is it “fair” to undercut British workers by importing 5 million mainly low-wage, low-skill, non-European workers into the country and then forcing the British people to cover the cost?
And how is it fair to demand the British people stump up an estimated £600 BILLION for a policy they never asked for?
It’s not.
As usual with Labour:
It’s immigrants first.
British workers second.”]
