“THE LOSS of the last elite reserve units, which the military leadership of Ukraine has inserted into the fighting on the Zaporizhzhya front, will lead to its collapse, said former UN weapons inspector in Iraq Scott Ritter.
“Now we are witnessing – emphasized Ritter – the last phase of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, which has not achieved any goal. It alone led to the death of more than 45 thousand Ukrainian soldiers. There are only 15 thousand of them left.
‘I’m talking about elite reserve units armed with British Challenger tanks, Marder and Stryker combat vehicles.”
Ritter pointed out that Kiev’s fresh forces “also got stuck in minefields in front of Russian defense lines.” According to him, as soon as the last elite units of Kiev are destroyed, the Ukrainian front will begin to collapse, like an old dam unable to hold back a powerful river flow.”

You can already see the NWO/ZOG-ruled powers reconsidering— various EU states are modifying the military and other aid going to the Kiev regime, and the US Government has been increasingly making public, in a guarded way, its concern that the Ukraine war might become a general European conflict and even an intercontinental nuclear one.

“Labour plans for tougher hate crime laws if they enter power could lead to criminal charges for misgendering trans people, a think tank warns today.
‘Maintaining free speech… is essential if we are to defend a liberal society based on rationality rather than coercion.’
[the] study was backed by Labour backbencher Graham Stringer, who likened gender ideology to the claim made by Humpty Dumpty in Alice In Wonderland that words mean whatever he chooses them to mean.
He said: ‘There are many in the transgender debate who follow in the Humpty Dumpty tradition.
‘Men become women and women become men via a simple declaration. If words can have any meaning debate becomes meaningless.
‘You end up with authoritarianism, which is what transgender ideologues desire, with them in authority.’“

Watched a pretty good episode of Endeavour. The only silly thing about it, as with other drama series of recent years set in the 1960s (Inspector George Gently etc) , 1950s and 1940s (Grantchester etc) is the number of blacks and other non-whites shown. People today under the age of about 50 will of course have little notion that what they are being shown is a false picture. Cambridge in 1950, Oxford in 1968, had few black or other non-white individuals, except a few foreign students.
The TV series Vera, very entertaining, and set in contemporary Newcastle on Tyne, yet has the same false narrative running through it. Even today, the North East is a fairly white British region, yet in Vera every second major character is non-white.
Of course, this is no accident. Again, all part of the propaganda barrage around the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Older people see the falsity, but those much under 50, and especially the under-30s, probably have little idea exactly how false is the picture of Britain shown, particularly the Britain of the 1960s etc.
The aim? To normalize a UK society largely non-white.
Incidentally, Endeavour, made 2012-2021 and set in the 1960s and early 1970s, is a prequel to Inspector Morse, made 1987-2000 and set in the 1980s and 1990s.
Tellingly, however, the Oxford of Inspector Morse contains far fewer blacks and browns than that of Endeavour, made later but set 20-30 years before!
I read that the “Jack Monroe” event at the Edinburgh Fringe had to be moved from the original 400-seat hall to a smaller hall because so few tickets were sold. 100? As many as 200?
The only thing Jack Monroe has been doing for years is pushing her fake poverty story, shilling for the Tories, taking money under false pretences and producing, unworkable, inedible slop under the guise of 'recipes'
Bog off Theo. Only crock of shit being spouted round here is Jack Monroe's last recipe for hedgehog and opal fruit curry or whatever atrocious concoction it was – can't actually remember as it's been an age since she's posted any recipes at all.
How will Jack Monroe talk her way out of being cancelled at EdFest? Pretend she's got cancer again? That cancer cap must be minging by now, wonder if she ever gave it a wash in that tumble dryer water of hers. pic.twitter.com/rBo7277goe
That refers to just one of “Jack Monroe’s” fraudulent claims, years ago in this case, i.e. that she had been diagnosed with cancer. Well-meaning but silly people sent her money on the back of that. Where are the police? Are they too busy snooping on “antisemitic” social media posts, or seizing politically-incorrect teddy bears?
This is another grift by Jack Monroe. If the team doesn't exist and she's pocketing the cash she rattles out of her tipjar then it's fraud. https://t.co/NVWIhRHUHr
That one refers to yet another “Jack Monroe” lie, that she was “working on” something called the “Vimes Boots Index” to measure the higher inflation rate pertaining to basic or staple items in supermarkets. In reality, that “Index” has never existed except as something she said as part of the overall “Jack Monroe” “poverty” and food “expert” scam.
Jack Monroe once again failing to realise lies like this can be shot down by FOI request, just like the Essex Celebrity Police Squad lies and previous ONS lies. https://t.co/fT8x9M5hpn
Why Jack Monroe for health? Not sure an ex alcoholic and suspected drug user is a good call. Also she says her meals cost £20 a week and wouldn't feed a church mouse efficiently. So many glorious people you could choose.
I have never been sure why quite a few very silly people, in this case one “Kerry Fisher”, like to make up “fantasy Cabinets”, then post their half-baked (“half-baked” being rather appropriate if “Jack Monroe” is involved) musing on Twitter. It must be one of the least interesting or useful ways to use Twitter.

Wonder what Captain Tom’s other daughter thinks of all this? Hannah Ingram-Moore and her hubby definitely sound like wrong’uns. Always felt there was something off with her when she was foisting her father on TV, and then there was the Caribbean holiday..! Grifters! #newsnighthttps://t.co/R9g5QHN18S
That woman, Hannah Ingram-Moore, is just an outright embezzler and “grifter”, along with her husband. As for “Captain Tom”, he was, in my view, a well-meaning but probably none-too-intelligent dupe of the System. I have no doubt that he meant well but, in the big scheme of things, his fundraising result was tiny when compared to the huge amounts wasted on the “Covid” “panicdemic”/”scamdemic” by the Government and NHS. He was used by the System for propaganda purposes. People loved the human story, of course. That is why he was so “useful” to the System.

The UK’s police are now largely useless. As blogged previously, I am not going to blog prior to trial about my current prosecution for blogging the truth, not in detail anyway, but I am more than irritated (“livid” might cover it) that the policeman (who shall remain anonymous for now) who at present is, it seems, effectively to be the only witness against me at any trial (the date of which is uncertain but, if held, will probably take place in the Autumn or Winter of this year) is also part of, or even possibly the head, of the very “neighbourhood policing team” which was totally useless in preventing the theft of a wheel from my car nearly 5 months ago, or in detecting the perpetrators (despite some evidence having been provided or available to the police).
Instead of doing their proper and rightful job, the police sneak around at the behest of the Zionist element, snooping on Twitter and socio-political blogs, and interfering with free speech.

Oh and U.K. government think Rwanda is done for BRITISH to holiday in……https://t.co/4w5EjtBSAz
The Rwanda policy was never going to work on the mass scale. The shambles of a political and judicial establishment just used it as an electoral football. Now, it may never happen at all.
Every day, hundreds of migrant-invaders cross the Channel. Hardly any are being deported, whether to Rwanda or anywhere else. Britain is changing, sliding, deteriorating, and being invaded, before our very eyes. Just look around you.
Indeed, the cross-Channel migration invasion is only a fraction of the full problem, which also involves other kinds of non-white entrant to the UK, and also births to those already here.
Britain has already changed out of all recognition in the past half-century. In another 50 years, there will be nothing worth saving.
“The state pension triple lock is here to stay – but people may eventually have to wait until the age of 70 to claim it, the Work and Pensions Secretary said yesterday.
In an unusual intervention, Mel Stride moved to reassure pensioners that a commitment to the triple lock will be included in the next Conservative manifesto.
But Mr Stride also suggested younger people may have to work for years longer in order to claim it.
Downing Street committed to honouring the triple lock this week, despite warnings from economists that stubborn inflation could result in a 7 per cent rise in the pension bill.
Mr Stride went further, saying the Conservatives were committed to the triple lock in the long term.”
[Daily Mail]
People over 60 are the Conservative Party mainstay, both in membership and electorate. Lose that bloc, and there will be no Conservative Party to speak of. Rishi Sunak dropped the Triple Lock a couple of years ago, for a year. He will not make that mistake again, not if he wants to stay posing as PM.
Speaking personally, though I myself am (since last year) of State-pensionable age, I am less affected either way, partly because I only get about half of the State Pension maximum (by reason of having spent many years overseas).
Still, that 70-year pension age possibility is absurd. It raises again, the probable need for some kind of Basic Income.
“This morning I smiled as my happy, lively five-year-old son skipped into the school playground, babbling excitedly about presents for his approaching sixth birthday.
Not too long ago it was an altogether different story. From March 2020, the cumulative effect of three oppressive lockdowns over 12 months led to a transformation in my son that was painful to behold.
His attention span, enthusiasm for learning, even his burgeoning vocabulary — they all but collapsed under the isolation and loss of routine that characterised each lockdown.
That’s why the declaration this week by the former Health Secretary Matt Hancock that Britain must be prepared for more of the same in future pandemics — but with wider, earlier and more stringent lockdowns — filled me with horror and fury in equal parts.
Horror because as a mother, I was a near helpless witness to the corrosive effects of these restrictions on my son, and anger because history has shown us all too viscerally that, deployed unwisely, lockdowns can be as fatal and damaging as the virus they are meant to suppress.“
[Daily Mail]
Instead of little Matt Hancock being punished appropriately for his espousal of the “SAGE” committee rubbish (“lockdowns”, “social distancing”, the asinine “Rule of Six”, the facemask nonsense etc), the System has rewarded him with huge amounts of money via book deal(s), guesting on I’m a Celebrity etc. I should love it were he to be punished.
Hancock will no doubt be applauded by the sort of loonies who came out of the woodwork in 2020/21. They cannot wait for more of all that garbage, together with “15 minute cities” and the rest.
The denizens of the Westminster monkeyhouse fear only one thing, pretty much. Need I spell it out?

More of that wonderful “diversity” to be “celebrated”…
Paddington
I was just indulging my Google Earth streetview addiction (again). This time the Praed Street/Eastbourne Terrace/Bishop’s Bridge Road area of Paddington.
Had I just teleported to Praed Street, I should scarcely have recognized it after even 16 years (the last time I saw it, when I appeared at Central London County Court near Regent’s Park, and stayed at what was then the Edgware Road Hilton at the junction of Edgware Road and Praed Street).
When I lived in Little Venice, very intermittently, from 1976 through to about mid-1990s, Praed Street, especially between St. Mary’s Hospital and Edgware Road, was a rather neglected area. Now it bustles. New buildings, new shops.
The area to the west, by Paddington Station, also very different. The old Great Western Hotel, dusty and neglected, is now another Hilton. A few shops and cafes that I recognized, in the side streets.
Eastbourne Terrace now totally different, with some buildings gutted and awaiting rebuilding, others completely new. The one that used to house John Brown Engineering, which Gorbachev visited in, I think, late 1984, is now gone, as far as I can see. Other buildings are new.
I noticed all the new buildings around Bishop’s Bridge Road, though the one that used to house Red Star Parcels (the parcel arm of the old British Rail) is still there, though evidently refurbished. I used to know a very eccentric person who worked there, one Gaster, who had been sacked from his job at the Foreign Office in 1939 or 1940 and then interned on the Isle of Man as a dissident (for being against the war with the German Reich).
Gaster (I think possibly part-German, another possible reason for his WW2 internment) always reminded me of one of those bureaucrats or politicos in the Soviet sphere of influence, reduced to the ranks and made to work as a forester or parcel operative (as it might be). Wonder what happened to him? Long gone, I should think. ~44 years ago, and he must have been 60 or more then.
I see that the roundabout under the Westway, near to Little Venice, is still recognizable, though, and the lay-by (featured near the end of Withnail and I), is still there.
Idle thoughts…
I remember walking down Edgware Road about 40 years ago with a lady whose office was near Paddington Station. She suddenly let out an expletive, followed by “I’ve lost an ear-ring“. Said ear-ring was an emerald, and set in gold. I think quite old. I suggested that we retrace our steps, though not holding out much hope. We did walk back, eyes on pavements and roadway. We had nearly reached the Circle and District Line station opposite the rail terminal when she suddenly pounced like a bird on something in the gutter. Her emerald ear-ring.
In fact, perseverance like that does, sometimes, pay off. I recall one time when I was with my younger brother at Newbury Races. About 1973. I was maybe 17, he was perhaps 15. Things must have been slacker, or less nanny-state, then; I do not think that anyone ever stopped us from backing a horse.
Anyway, the race was run. My horse lost, and my brother’s also lost, but less badly, having come in second. Still, that was no good, and he threw down his bookmaker’s ticket, a colourful oblong card about five inches by two. We walked away to go back to the stands or paddock. Then there was an announcement— “Stewards’ Inquiry“… Five or ten minutes later, the winning horse had been disqualified, and my brother’s placed 1st. He had won, but had no ticket to prove it. He spent half an hour or more wandering amid thousands of discarded tickets, like a wading bird. Incredibly, he found his ticket amid that multitude, and collected his winnings.
Surely most thinking people can see that the Ukrainian situation is not normal, not even a “normal” war? The transnational NWO/ZOG system is funnelling cash, as well as arms, ammunition etc to “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist Zelensky regime in Kiev). Why? There is a whole agenda behind this.

All over the world, we see huge enterprises (or their advertising agencies) hitting one “woke” button after another. In this case, two— “trans” nonsense and the “blacks with everything” campaign of fake “diversity”.
One sees calls to boycott the companies involved, or to “hit them in the wallet“. However, those calls miss the point, because the individuals and cabals behind the brainwashing do not care whether the companies concerned lose money or customers over these outrages.
Think of the finance-capitalist companies involved as merely shells, to be used as convenient for the long-term purposes of the real powers behind the System. “Black Lives Matter”, “refugees welcome” “Covid”, “climate change”, “Ukraine” etc are just some of the “causes” used to further wider objectives connected with the world-history 33-year cycle (in this case, 2022-2055).

Politics overheard
I happened to be in the local Waitrose not long after it opened. Heard a brief conversation between a cashier (about 60 y o) and a customer (about the same, or older— the area is demographically weighted heavily in favour of middleaged and elderly people).
The first topic (that I heard), after agreeing that “nothing works any more“, was the recent local elections. Both agreed that they had received no literature from “any of the three parties” (the area is almost exclusively Conservative in terms of local and central government; Labour usually comes third or, not infrequently, fourth). Both also complained that no-one had knocked on their doors (for me, that is a very good thing—F.O.!), and that, in any case, “all three parties” were saying the same thing, and none could be trusted to carry out whatever they said anyway.
You would think that all of that boded well for any new social-national party, but the “three main parties” scam is deeply deeply entrenched, ingrained like brainwashing in the minds of the people. Despite the crying need for a new movement, the mental leap required of the mass of the people to vote for one, let alone join one, is enormous. There is the additional fact that no credible social-national party or movement exists in the UK.
Political success and failure
Anyone worried about AI taking over….it already has! Beth Rigby gives him a chance to be human and should a bit of disappointment. Instead he answers any question by parroting his 5 priorities like a malfunctioning robot. https://t.co/sbkVnjOWGz
Real political leaders have usually “failed” at more than they have “succeeded”, and of course the biggest cliche about that is that “all political careers end in failure“.
Hitler failed at secondary school, failed to get into art school, failed to get into architecture school, failed to become an independent artist, was not promoted in the WW1 German Army beyond corporal, joined a tiny group of “extremists” in 1919, failed to become much more than a political joke for the 10 years 1919-1929, but then burst onto the national and international stage as destined leader of Germany, achieving huge successes for 6 years of that peaceful rebirth of a nation. After a few more years of success in war, the tragic failures of 1943-45, and a tragic death.
Churchill too. Born with a “silver spoon”, yet a failure at school (Harrow, where his application was nearly rejected). Churchill only gained admittance to Sandhurst at the third attempt, then was allocated a place in one of the least cerebral parts of the Army, the cavalry.
Churchill’s 4-5 years as an officer (mostly spent as journalist rather than soldier, though he saw action in the Sudan and South Africa and, much later, in WW1 Belgium) were crowned with a single promotion, to lieutenant in his younger years, though much later to —temporary— Lt. Col. in 1916, reduced to major when he withdrew from active service after only 4 months.
Churchill’s political life was likewise chequered. He defected, re-defected, lost and won seats. Famously, the lost election of 1945, then a muted victory in 1951.
As strategist, Churchill was a disaster in both world wars: Gallipoli, Singapore, Norway, Greece, North Africa (at first), the Italian campaign etc. His “success” in WW2 was of course by reason of the participation of the USA and Soviet Union. That had its price(s): the slow dismantling of the British Empire, the gradual subservience of the UK to the USA both in WW2 and after 1945, the condemnation of much of Central and Eastern Europe to live under Soviet or Soviet-influenced socialism for 40-45 years.
Abraham Lincoln too. A litany of failed attempts to be elected to a number of offices, but crowned ultimately with election to the highest office, President of the United States. His assassination while still in office followed on the heels of his victory in the American Civil War.
Those three examples show the difficulty of assessing political success and failure. In the end, all three have gone “beyond success and failure” by becoming world-historic figures who will be remembered as such for as long as, say, Julius Caesar or others will be remembered.
As for Indian money-juggler Sunak, he is not and never will be in the same league as Hitler, Churchill, or Lincoln. Eminently forgettable. In fact, he will leave scarcely more of a ripple on the surface than Liz Truss or Theresa May.
Beth Rigby is easily impressed. So what if Sunak was Head Boy at his bloody school (Winchester)? As for his having made a gigantic amount of money by having worked for the Goldman Sachs vultures, and then having married into a mega-wealthy Indian family, well, such things happen. “Success”?
Meanwhile, Britain is visibly falling to pieces.

The cabal ruling Britain behind Indian money-juggler Sunak and his crew have no loyalty to the people of the UK, only to the Money Power and its NWO agenda. The British people are expendable, in their eyes.

“Labour ministers in Wales have announced plans that could see young asylum seekers in the country receive £1,600 a month and taxpayers’ cash for legal aid to fight deportation.

Under the Welsh plan, the Government would provide migrants with both a wage and their lawyers’ fees to stop them being deported.”

One thing is for sure: Marianna Spring will not be questioning the official, or System, or BBC line on matters such as race, culture, the “Covid” “panicdemic” or “scamdemic”, “Ukraine” (support for the Zelensky regime) etc. If she did, she would almost certainly be sacked or put in a backroom job at once, and would lose the £80,000+ salary BBC correspondents now get.

Stray thoughts
If one has had a dream, perhaps a rather bad dream, and then wakes up still thinking about it or affected by it, that affect or, indeed, effect, dissipates quickly. One realizes that —quite apart from having been merely a dream— it is now finished and gone; in the past.
Now, what about things that have happened to us in the course of life? However important they may have been to us, however unpleasant perhaps, that those events were, they too lie in the past now. They have no more reality, no more present reality, than those bad dreams, except in two respects: firstly, that those “real world” events actually happened (objectively) and, secondly, they may still play on our minds, or are at least remembered (i.e. had and/or have also subjective reality).
It is the remembrance of the “real world” events that affects us, but both dreams and “real world” events have the obvious equivalence that, as we look back on them, they are in the past. We feel obliged to honour the “real world” events by recalling them. However, that sense of obligation might be said to lie “not in our stars but in ourselves“.
The sense of remembrance-connection to real world events is a silver thread which binds us to them via the laws of Karma, yet it is postulated that those laws operate whether we recall anything (in one life or a series of lives), or not.
In terms of our lives as lived on any particular day, events of the past, whether trivial, important at the time, or even shocking, are as insubstantial as those bad dreams. “We are such stuff as dreams are made on“, if you like.

The only reason why the UK and France are not living under complete Jewish/Zionist tyranny is because the actual numbers of Jews and part-Jews, in proportion to the non-Jews, is small— in the UK, less than half of one percent.
When I was a kid I thought all the rules of proper behaviour were stupid and often impractical, but more and more I see the point of them. It's not the specific rules, it's the habits of mind.
We tend to think, at least many people tend to think, that civilization and culture are best-described as a smooth upward spiral or curve, whereas a staggered spiral is more accurate: a period of growth and improvement often followed by a decline, or even a catastrophic fall, before positive evolution can continue.

A reference to the Grenfell Tower fire some years ago, after which “Jack Monroe” wrote a pack of lies saying that she went to the scene (60 miles from her home in Essex; she does not drive, either, which in view of her alleged and partly-admitted booze/drug consumption is just as well), and was “waved through” the security cordon by police (who must have known what a huge “celebrity” she was, with her reconstituted tinned pasta —mixed with sardines and curry powder— “food”…), after which she used the plans of the building (how? from where?) to somehow “organize” the scene.
Does any thinking person really believe that any of that was true?
“Jack Monroe” keywords: “fraud”, “conwoman”, “grifter”, “fake”. Among others.
What astounds me, and others, is firstly the sheer relentless and wicked gall of “Jack Monroe”, but then also, maybe more, the wilful gullibility of quite many people who —perhaps desperately— want to believe in something or someone, anything, anyone.

Interesting. I have blogged a few times about the day in 1994 or 1995 (I think 1995) when I visited the partly-privatized but still heavily-guarded Porton Down biolab campus in Wiltshire, UK, with the then Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, a trained scientist who was later both a Presidential candidate and director of a biochemistry and biosecurity institute in Ukraine [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko].
Many Russians know what’s happening. This 92yo woman says TV has brainwashed Russians to hate the West, support Putin & act like animals in Ukraine. Asked why she’s not brainwashed, she says, “I’ve lived thru 4 wars. I can think critically & analyze.”pic.twitter.com/rtdUCts3sp
Well, OK, but that old woman can express her views freely on the streets of (?) Moscow, and have them broadcast without repercussions. If she had been in Kiev, and had opposed the regime of the corrupt Jew Zelensky, she would probably, almost certainly, have been arrested; the interview would certainly not be broadcast or allowed to be put on social media. Everyone involved would be arrested.
So who is “brainwashed“? The Western msm is more or less brainwashing people in the UK, USA etc, though many are “thinking for themselves” and not supporting the war or the Kiev regime.

I do think Jeremy Hunt is sounding dangerously out of touch with much of the country. Families are not experiencing a "pinch" – it's the sharpest decline in living standards since the 1950s.
As I blogged yesterday, Jeremy Hunt seems to have a political cloth ear.
Goodwin’s tweet about “1950s” is not quite right though. “1940s” would be better. It is a linguistic point. The 1950s were when Britain began to exit from the terrible privation of the unnecessary war against the German Reich. The poverty of Britain was actually worse in the decade (and especially the 5 years) after the end of the war than it had been during that misconceived war. The decline in living standards during the war itself lurched lower in 1946, 1947 and did not improve, substantially, until about 1954 or 1955. The last remnants of WW2 rationing ended in 1955.
Incidentally, it is interesting to note that many poorer Brits actually had a better diet during WW2 rationing than they had had in the prewar 1930s.
Some of the (pro-immigration) replies to Goodwin’s tweet are unintentionally hilarious: idiots saying that the UK “needs” immigrants, that the UK is not “full” (despite housing covering more of our green fields daily), and one pro-invasion tweeter (one of the most vituperative) who lives on the Costa Tropical in Spain!
I think there a is a very strong consensus that this and the reduction of BBC World Service output is a serious mistake. I wonder who made the call.
According to some tweets I saw, the decision was made by some black woman, by name Lorna Clarke: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/lorna-clarke-3a19b415. She, it seems, is actually the “BBC Director, Music” and formerly “Head of Rock and Pop“.
“How has this been allowed to happen? Early last year, the BBC’s music review recommended an extraordinary restructure. Alan Davey, the recently departed controller of BBC Radio 3 and the Proms, ceased to have direct responsibility for the classical ensembles that are now under the control of former head of rock and pop Lorna Clarke, while [Simon] Webb, the former director of the BBC Philharmonic, is the new head of orchestras and choirs in England.
The BBC’s timing is as calculated as its strategy is callous: ensembles struggling to recover from the pandemic, exhausted from keeping the show on the road throughout, three of the ensembles without a permanent director and all contractually gagged. There is not one single champion for classical music left at the BBC in any position of power or influence. Herod has been left minding the creche.
I no longer know if the BBC is a public service broadcaster; I don’t recognise it any more, or its values. If it no longer exists to do that which others cannot or will not, then what is it for? After 23 years of constant change, the ensembles of the BBC have never been more agile, flexible or willing to adapt, and they represent tremendous value for money in the grand scheme of the BBC’s budget and our licence-fee payment.
The role of cultural patron is not optional, and the responsibilities as custodian of music ensembles do not give the BBC permission to dispose of and dismantle them without serious public discussion, not to mention honest, transparent internal debate. The values and behaviour of what we are told repeatedly is “our BBC” must matter to all of us as much as the content.”

Apart from the actual absurdity of having blacks and merely business-trained persons in positions of power in the cultural sphere, this damage goes right back to the 1990s, to John Birt [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Birt,_Baron_Birt] and Greg Dyke [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Dyke]. Those two, who knew and worked with each other, both had poor educational and —initial— work backgrounds, yet were allowed to take leading positions in British television and radio.

If Poland fights against Russia in 2023, that would trigger a Russian response which might mean that there will be no Poland, and certainly no Warsaw, by 2024. In fact, Poland being now a member of NATO, it might just trigger WW3.
The SNP may have had its day in the sun, but it could reinvent itself if it became more social-national, opposed mass immigration and migration-invasion, binned non-whites/non-Brits such as Humza Yousaf as candidates and office-holders, and announced a policy of leaving NATO and closing down all RAF/USAF bases, as well as submarine bases, while asking Russia for closer relations. None of that will happen, of course.
