Vladimir Putin has extended his congratulations to all Russian people on Orthodox Christmas holiday, the Kremlin’s press office said in a statement:https://t.co/YFwXBcNlxppic.twitter.com/H2rCA5glyP
A full year passed with no answers. Our cat vanished, and with every week that went by, hope grew quieter. We searched, put up signs, and held on as long as we could—until accepting the possibility that he might never come home.
[“A full year passed with no answers. Our cat vanished, and with every week that went by, hope grew quieter. We searched, put up signs, and held on as long as we could—until accepting the possibility that he might never come home. Then today happened. My wife and I were out on a simple bike ride when I noticed a cat ahead of us. Something about the way he moved felt familiar. On instinct, I said his name out loud. He froze. Then he turned. The sound he made still echoes in my chest—a cry filled with recognition and relief. He ran straight toward us like no time had passed at all. I dropped my bike, knelt down, and he launched himself into my arms, clinging as if he was afraid to let go again. After an entire year… he remembered us. Today, the waiting ended. The silence broke. And our family, somehow, became whole again.“]

BREAKING: IDF soldier just RAN OVER Orthodox Jews with a bus on the streets of ‘israel’ 🇮🇱
A state founded on the basis of ethnic cleansing and mass murder, those crimes committed by the sweepings of the prisons, labour camps, and ghettos, of Europe. Naturally, extreme violence is ingrained. The only assassination of an Israeli prime minister (Rabin) was committed by a Jew, not an Arab.
🏴 A mother and daughter have been jailed for social media posts at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. Sentencing judge Sheriff Charles Walls denounced their "hatred, racism and anti-semitism". He also cited their "conspiracy theories about white genocide".
I’m not sure how the English can remain a majority when you only want the illegals and the “extreme” Muslims gone. Those two groups are minuscule in comparison to the overall mass immigration that has been happening for decades.
Tweeter Sophie Meaden is quite right. There are probably “only” about 40,000 “extreme” Islamists in the UK (that at least appears to be the MI5 assessment), and a similar number of “rubber boat” (etc) invaders. They are the two groups targeted by Reform UK. In fact, Reform does not even really include either of those groups, if already here and if granted leave to remain. Reform wants to get rid of only those who arrive after a Reform government is installed, or those who commit violent crime and are caught (and survive to be deported).
Well, the fact is that Reform is a shell party: globalist, finance-capitalist, and a fraud when it comes to migration-invasion.
So why do I hope that Reform UK does well?
Reform’s rise, if sustained, can destroy the “two main parties” Lab/Con fraud while, at the same time, moving the “Overton window” of general public opinion and sentiment. After that, and if/when Reform fails to do what is necessary, real social nationalism can arise, one way or another.
How is the mainstream right not getting this? Reform UK have capitulated to Islamists. Picking the Muslim Laila Cunningham to battle Sadiq Khan to become Mayor of London is deeply depressing.

I have not examined the candidates in detail but am aware that Middleton is pro-Israel, and has made common cause with both “Tommy Robinson” and Katie Hopkins, both of which are both pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby. Laurence Fox too, for what that may be worth. On that basis, as far as Middleton is concerned, “I’m out”…
Demographic replacement is not the answer. It never is and it never will be.
Just by removing the financial restrictions many parents face along with the lack of living space (remigration solves this), we would see a huge increase in births. Ultimately creating a starting step… pic.twitter.com/EZ2ePqzFLp
I should prefer national death (via no immigration and no English/British births) to national death (via mass immigration and/or migration-invasion and mass black/brown births). My country, my choice.
Not a good place for the country to be in when we have to choose between the least worst. . . Assuming we are even given a chance to do so.
I said on the blog, soon after the Starmer-Labour fake “landslide” (giving Labour a huge Commons majority despite only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters, and only 4 out of every 12 actual voters, having voted for Labour), that Starmer-stein was patently in the wrong job. Does anyone still disagree with me?
The Tory lead over Labour is becoming embedded. And Reform are also starting to show signs of advancing again. https://t.co/DiFBH3Ny1Z
In days of yore, that was called piracy or, if carried out by a state, as this was, an act of war. The ship is apparently now under the Russian flag.
High seas state piracy, the Venezuela kidnap and projected putsch, threats to invade or seize Greenland, threats to somehow absorb Canada, all by the present Trump administration.
I see that the msm commentators have now caught up with what I was saying on the blog months ago about Greenland, i.e. that any seizure by the USA might mean Denmark effectively leaving NATO, or suspending NATO activity until the territory is given back.
Putin may not like the fact that that oil tanker is being stolen, but he cannot be unhappy about the most serious rift in the NATO alliance since Suez.
NATO should really have been disbanded once the Soviet Union fell. It should never have been expanded into Eastern Europe.
NATO always had elements of bluff about it. Now, that suddenly becomes far more clear.
Putin may not make an immediate move regarding the oil tanker. He may be content to sit back and watch the Atlantic alliance rupture and splinter.
Venezuela is not a vital interest for Russia. In other areas, Russia is doing well. The Kiev regime is crumbling, along with its long front lines. Belarus is hosting Oreshnik missiles. The real Russian economy is doing a lot better than readers, watchers, and listeners of and to Western msm platforms may think. Also, the apparently unstoppable rise in Chinese military might threatens US control of the whole Pacific region.
Still, as an observer, one is not complacent; there is a feeling that “things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosed upon the world“, as Yeats put it. The post-WW2, post-1945 international settlement which became the international or world order, seems to be falling apart rather rapidly. Yet Nature abhors a vacuum, of course.
Israel wanted to make Gaza uninhabitable to force Palestinians off their land. The destruction is the point. https://t.co/2CdSP0lPsC
Total destruction. Total war against —mostly— unarmed civilians. Ethnic cleansing. Planning to repopulate with Jews from poor parts of Israel, and/or the slums of Brooklyn.
Hundreds of thousands of Arab civilians, mostly women and children, have been killed or grievously injured over the past 2 years or so, while Jews in Israel and the UK, USA etc have been applauding the Israeli behaviour, and even laughing about it.
Despite all that, the Jewish lobby is still whining that people in the UK, France, USA etc increasingly doubt many details once accepted as true about what happened (or not) to Jews in Eastern Europe in the early 1940s.

We read newspapers, watch TV commentary, see opinion polls, look at (often biased) Twitter/X comment. All contribute to our belief as to what might happen on Election Day. Beyond that, there is mere personal experience of one’s own local area; anecdotal, subjective.
I myself live in an area of coastal Hampshire known for being traditionally “safe” Conservative. The local MP is someone with some of whose views (eg on the Covid scamdemic/panicdemic) I can agree, but with whom I would not agree on other topics. He is also a very poor constituency MP— lazy, uncaring, and totally useless in fact, as a few people have told me after not having received help or even a polite acknowledgment from him.
In previous general elections, I have seen almost exclusively Conservative Party posters around, and one huge banner on a house in the nearby small town. This time, I think only one Conservative poster, and three or four LibDem ones. Unscientific, but is that a straw in the wind? Hard to say, but interesting all the same.
The incumbent MP has been there since the constituency was created in 1997. He has never scored below 50%, and received well over 60% in both 2017 and 2019. Labour usually come third (second in 2017) here, and the LibDems (usually second-placed, though fourth behind Con, UKIP and Labour in 2015) had their best result in 1997 (27.8%).
In other words, it would take a political earthquake, maybe a political meteorite strike, to displace the Conservative here…and yet…and yet…
I may be reading too much into the presence or otherwise of political posters put up locally, but it occurred to me that the Conservative Party in the constituency has (perhaps) few volunteers now. The average age of Con Party members in this constituency must be around 80 if not 90. Does the presence of a few LibDem posters indicate a local upsurge, or just a single diligent volunteer?
How big the Reform UK vote here will be on 4 July 2024 is uncertain. UKIP scored 16.9% in 2015, though far less prior to that. Since 2015, there has been no broadly “national” party standing, and no social-national party has ever stood here.

If the staff had been Palestinian Arabs, they would have stood no chance. Having said that, Arabs would probably not have been employed anyway, for reasons of security.
I hope not. That would leave me politically homeless again. A vote for Conservative is a vote for Labour because they’ve shown themselves to be one globalist uniparty. I need a party that i can trust to rid government of WEF influence.
Farage and Reform UK to merge with the Cons within 14 days? That sounds ludicrous. If it were to happen, in the 12 days left, it would just be a replay of 2019, when Farage stabbed his own party in the back; with one big difference, though— in 2019, Farage’s back-stab meant that instead of a likely hung Parliament, “Boris”-idiot was able to get an 80-seat Commons majority. In this General Election, the surrounding situation is very different.
Were the predicted merger to occur, and if Farage then urged voters to vote Con in many constituencies, all that would happen would be that Labour would still win overall, but with a majority of maybe 100+ instead of maybe 300. Of course, that would save perhaps 100 or 150 Con Party seats. It would also destroy whatever credibility Farage still seems to have with many people.
After any such merger, I suppose that the idea would be that Sunak would lose the election, resign, disappear from view, and that a leadership election would then anoint Farage as leader of the Con/Reform party.
Not totally impossible, arguably, but very unlikely. Reform UK is on a roll. Brexit Party had all wind taken out of its sails by Farage’s treachery in 2019. The same would happen today. It might even help Labour more than Reform UK fighting on as at present. After all, all the Reform UK candidates are now on the ballot papers.
The only way the predicted merger would work would be if Sunak and Farage were to announce a list of which seats would be “gifted” to Reform UK, but the candidates would still have to remain nominally in place.
That prediction to me sounds like nonsense. After the election might be a different story, were Reform UK to have 5-10 MPs in the Commons, and the Cons 50-100. However, once Reform UK merged with the Cons, and after (if it were to happen) Farage were elected to lead the merged parties, then what? The surviving Con MPs would be not a good match with the new Reform UK MPs; apple and orange. What could they offer the public? Con Party policies but with more emphasis on immigration? Sounds underwhelming.
Never say never, but I cannot see it as likely. If, however, it were to happen, it might yet open the door, on the flank, to real social-national people. “Always look on the bright side of life“.
As to that Gewolb individual’s views on UK interest rates, I do not have the economic background to assess them.

The Conservative Party is dying on its feet right in front of us. I really cannot see Farage wanting to ally himself with a party that, in another metaphor, is sinking below the waves. Not even after the election.
I notice that the Sky News “Chief Political Correspondent”, one Jon Craig, has been wheeled out to write a piece on the Sky News website about how “vile” Farage was to speak the truth about the Ukraine situation, i.e. that NATO has steadily advanced across Eastern Europe since the 1990s, thus destabilizing the NATO-Russia status quo.
Interesting language…”vile“— reminiscent of the language used by “the usual suspects” (((them)))…
The System may be getting or feeling seriously threatened by Reform UK, and is trying to use attack propaganda to weaken Farage’s appeal.
Craig claims that most “Britons” support “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime). I doubt it. Look at the comments section of the Daily Mail.
There is something going on here, with System scribblers, talking heads, and both “Labour” and “Conservative” Friends of Israel MPs all attacking Farage.
I have just heard the news on my car radio. Farage’s comments about the Ukraine situation were prominently displayed. I wonder, though, whether the Kiev regime is as popular with the people as it is with pseudo-“elite” deadheads such as Ben Wallace (former Con MP) and the Labour Friends of Israel drones. I think not.
In any case, few if any will now decide not to vote for Reform UK just because of a few comments about NATO.
Using, as always, Electoral Calculus, I make that a House of Commons with 468 Labour MPs —overall majority of 286, Con 67, LibDem 63, SNP 20, Reform UK 6, Plaid 4, Greens 2 (etc). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.
If you're from England this hits you on multiple levels. Very well done.
I agree, in principle, with the vast majority of that, about 90%. Only social nationalism will actually “do de job”, though. Reform UK is too finance-capitalistic, too pro-Israel, not quite what I would ever support as a destination (rather than as a means to an end).
Today is the UK msm “hit Farage” day, it seems. “Ukraine”, NHS etc etc. Anything to get the Reform UK vote down. I doubt that it will work.

“Germany is no longer the same” – Orban chastised Berlin for the failure of migration policy.
Before his visit to Berlin, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized modern Germany. He said that the country had even lost its former smell, clearly making fun of its problem with migration, writes The Daily Telegraph. “Germany no longer has the taste it used to have. She doesn’t smell like she used to anymore. This whole Germany is no longer the Germany that our grandparents and parents set as an example for us,” the politician said in an interview before a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Orbán also said that Germany was once a country of “order,” “well-organized work” and “hard-working people.” But now, he noted, citing the German newspaper Die Welt, Germany is a “colorful, changed, multicultural world” where migrants are “no longer guests.” “This is a very big change,” summed up the head of the Hungarian government.“
Late thoughts about GE 2024
If reports are to be believed, 20% of voters have either not made up their minds as to how they will vote, or have not decided whether they will vote at all.
The 20% equates to thousands of eligible voters in every constituency.
It is also reported that as many as 175 seats are in very close contest now, more than a quarter of all seats.
I have speculated previously whether there is, or is not, a bloc of “secret Reform UK voters”, people who may not admit to leaning towards Reform UK if asked. I do not know the answer to that, and neither do I know its size if it exists, but if that bloc does exist, and if it mostly votes Reform UK on the day, then all bets are off, because there just might be a political meteorite strike on the 4th of July…
Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored a very modest 3/10; I trumped that with 5/10. I knew the answers to questions 2, 4, 6, and 9; I literally guessed no. 3 (I think it was in the back of my mind, though; I may have seen it somewhere, somewhen).
“16th century possible murder victim laid to rest at St Mary the Virgin, in South Baddesley, after remains found on Sowley Beach in the New Forest.
A suspected New Forest murder victim was this week buried in a “once-in-a-lifetime” service, some 500 years after he met his end.
The remains of the unknown man were laid to rest about five centuries after he was initially disposed of in a “clandestine” fashion, as revealed by the A&T.
The 25-minute ceremony took place two years after his medieval-era skeleton was found in mysterious circumstances on a beach near South Baddesley.
[Steve West/A&T]
As reported in the A&T, after a lengthy investigation, archaeologists have since concluded that “foul play” may explain how he came to be there.
Tuesday’s special funeral took place at St Mary the Virgin, in South Baddesley. Around 50 attendees – comprising nearby residents, those who had been involved in research and local historians – came to pay their respects.
Mourners were greeted and handed a leaflet titled ‘The Funeral and Burial of the 16th Century Man Known only to God’.
The Very Rev Gordon Wynne conducted the service, which included a medieval hymn before the handmade wooden casket was buried in the church graveyard.
The funeral comes after police were alerted in May 2022 by local resident Graham Coulter who helped excavate the human remains after half a skull became exposed in the mud near the mouth of Lymington River.
Speaking after the ceremony, the chartered surveyor, who lives in Lymington, said: “I think it’s a nice reflection on Christianity and mankind.“It’s very moving. It’s nice people turned up to give him a proper send-off.”
The rare remains – of which 80% of the body was still present – were recovered from Sowley Beach. They were given a radiocarbon dating estimating them to have been buried in AD1450-1650.
An osteoarchaeologist who studied the 5ft 4in (1.63m) skeleton concluded it was likely to have been a 20 to 25-year-old adult male.“
[Graham Coulter, finder of the skeleton (picture: Steve West)]
[skull at time of discovery]
[New Milton Advertiser & Lymington Times; n.b. I have corrected a few errors of spelling etc]
The full report is a good read, though it is disappointing to see that the senior archaeologist at the local council thinks that 1450-1650 comes within the “mediaeval” period. Either the Renaissance or, just about, the early Enlightenment.
It was amusing somehow to read that a person holidaying in the area, and who attended that religious service, was one Kathryn Tudor! Like something from The Morning of the Magicians [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morning_of_the_Magicians].
Mrs. Tudor, however, is another who seems to imagine that the period in question was “mediaeval” (as does the local newspaper). Our English education must be to blame. G.K. Chesterton expressed a similar irritation to mine via his fictional Father Brown detective-priest, and that was a century ago.
Have I identified an historical gap in the market for detectives in literature? 1450 to 1650. I have never heard of a fictional detective operating in those centuries.
Well, that story is a delightful English vignette. Somehow charming, intriguing, and unsullied by contact with too much of England in 2024. More like something out of M.R. James [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._R._James].
“A second haul of alcohol has been stolen from a Lymington store, which has now seen more than £1,000 worth taken over the two incidents.
As reported by the A&T yesterday (Thursday) 21 bottles of champagne valued at £717 were taken from Marks & Spencer on St Thomas Street on Tuesday 30th April, and CCTV pictures were released of a pair wanted by police.
Now officers have made a second appeal over an incident at the same store between 1.10pm and 1.40pm on Wednesday 15th May, when the eight bottles of champagne and spirits valued at £326 were taken.“
How time flies. When I first heard of Rupert Sheldrake, in the early 1980s, he was a still-youthful 39 or 40, and I was in my mid-twenties. Now he is 81, nearly 82, incredibly, and I myself am no longer young (67).
“I think it’s dangerous that people should be allowed by our liberal societies to put that kind of nonsense into currency” [John Maddox].
You can see the kind of thinking that leads to those people who doubt orthodox views, whether re. “climate change” aka “global warming”, or re. the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, or other matters, being pilloried, while others (msm talking heads, scribblers etc) parrot System orthodoxy, and say that the dissidents or freethinkers should be incarcerated, deprived of medical services, bankrupted etc.
Who has contributed more to science and to this country, Sheldrake, or Maddox? I say Sheldrake.
Incidentally, I see that Sheldrake’s wife, Jill Purce, is also an interesting personality (I had not known of her until today): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Purce.
“The NHS has today been accused of providing ‘inadequate’ pain relief to women who have suffered agonising childbirths.
Under health service guidance, new mums can be discharged just a day after undergoing a C-section or vaginal birth.
But they are advised to take just paracetamol or ibuprofen to manage symptoms.
Campaigners and doctors slammed the move, claiming it was yet another example of women’s pain issues in healthcare being ignored or underplayed.“
[Daily Mail]
Still clapping?
The fact is that we now have health rationing in the UK. There has always been an element of that but it is now becoming impossible to ignore. It is not OK to simply repeat the old slogans of “our NHS” etc and how the rest of the world supposedly envies it (which is not true in respect of most advanced countries).
I am totally in favour of “free at point of use”, but the existing NHS model is just not working. Resourcing is one factor, but attitude and ethos is another one, and one that must be addressed. Also, pervasive maladministration.
The elephant in the room, though, is mass immigration. A population of 56 million when I was growing up has become one, officially, of 65 million, and probably 70 million in reality, with about a million more coming in every single year. Something has to give. Various things are giving, are cracking. Health provision is one of those.

Look at Islington North. Symbolic. The very constituency represented for 41 years by a white man who is also a socialist (like Jack London, though Jack London said “I am a socialist, but a white man first“, unlike Corbyn…) and who was Leader of the Labour Party.

SUNAK WARNS LABOUR'S IMMIGRATION POLICIES COULD HARM ECONOMY
In his inaugural campaign speech leading up to the British general election on July 4th, Prime Minister Sunak asserted that only his party could be trusted to manage the economy and secure borders effectively.
Ha ha! Has the little Indian money-juggler somehow failed to understand that, under “Conservative” misgovernment, immigration is running at about a million a year now, out of which “only” about 50,000 are coming here on small boats (in reality, often ferried in by UK Border Force, RNLI, and Royal Navy)?
Has Sunak not understood that 80% of “asylum-seekers”, even those entering in backs of trucks or on rubber boats, are eventually given “Leave to Remain” under a system and legal framework which came from the 1950s and is now totally ridiculous and out of date ?
No, Sunak knows all that. He just hopes that the British people do not.
Labour, of course, will just do the same but in a different way, by allowing almost all to enter the UK “legally”. Reality? No difference in terms of end-result.

“Man proposes, God disposes“, though. Those 16-18 y-o voters of 2024, and their successors, might go another way completely after 5 years of (as I firmly expect) useless and yet repressive Starmer-Labour government.
On the wider point, if Goodwin is correct and Starmer intends to prevent any real democratic revolt against his planned “woke” tyranny, then he must expect the consequences. As John F. Kennedy said, “those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable“.
Imagine, if you will, Britain in 2034, after 10 years of Starmer-Labour.
A population of about 80 million or more, more non-European than white, at least in the main cities and towns; the country in an irreversible economic slide, with pay very low, and with State benefits equally low and restricted to ever-smaller groups; pensions not keeping pace with inflation; the roads scarcely repaired; the NHS even worse than under the “Conservatives”, and become a world leader in…waiting lists, poor treatment, and negligence; ever-greater numbers of blacks and browns (etc) flooding in, but the numbers officially concealed; Jewish-Zionist supremacism ever-more evident, but any criticism muzzled by even more restrictive and repressive “hate speech” laws.
Needless to say, by 2034, let alone 2044, the central areas of the cities will have become almost no-go areas for real Brits, as crime and disorder take hold. London is already halfway there.
In those circumstances, any measures taken by the British people themselves would be justified.
Starmer and Sunak’s Israeli friends— a history
2/15 After WWII a paramilitary group of 50 Jews nicknamed "the avengers" had a failed plot to kill 6 million German civilians by poisoning the German water supplies
The leader of the plot, Abba Kovner, was awarded the Israel Prize in 1970, the country's highest cultural honour pic.twitter.com/VCjlw2zAAy
4/15 In 1940, Haganah bombed the SS Patria, a ship being used by the British to deport 1,800 Jews who had tried to enter Palestine illegally
Haganah intended to cripple the ship, but ended up sinking it and killing 267 people, including 50 crew members and British servicemen pic.twitter.com/67cBXZRKiC
8/15 1947 brought the so-called "Sergeants Affair"
Irgun kidnapped two British Army Intelligence Corps NCOs, and in response to the death sentences passed on three Irgun fighters, they hanged them and booby trapped their bodies
10/15 In April 1948, Irgun and Lehi militants jointly committed the Deir Yassin massacre of at least 107 Palestinian villagers, including women and children. Deir Yassin was a Palestinian village of around 600 people near Jerusalem pic.twitter.com/VLa4v8nWgH
12/15 Many perpetrators of the Deir Yassin massacre were later absorbed into the IDF
Menachim Begin later stated in his book "Without what was done at Deir Yassin, there would not have been a state of Israel." pic.twitter.com/PicA9FRFGC
14/15 In total in 1948, 700,000 Palestinians — half the Arab population of Palestine — either fled their homes or were expelled by Zionist paramilitary organisations with the support of the Israeli military
The royal Swedish Bernadotte family has a result of Folke's murder still to this day never made any state visits to Israel. The reel is from Israeli TV where the ex Lehi members had no problem rejoicing in the assassination. pic.twitter.com/O4jSDeajtN

Skellefteå is in the far north. Two days ago, three Syrians attacked a man in Kalmar in the Southeast, kicked his head, set his hair on fire and tortured him by drilling his leg with an electric drill.
So that writes off the votes of the tiny minority of the young who might have voted Con. Beyond that, this is not a serious policy idea, more an attempt to shore up the collapsing Con vote among those 70+.
National Service ended over 60 years ago (gradually from 1957, though anyone born after 30 September 1939 was exempted). The last call-up was at the end of 1960; the last conscriptee was discharged in 1963.
In other words, only those (some) people of 85+, and who served under legal compulsion, would still be alive today.
Incidentally, who do you think will be taking all available jobs while the UK-born 18-21 y-o contingent are polishing boots, being beasted on assault courses, or being taught how to shoot hostile targets and not the local farmworkers? That’s right— the recent immigrants.
Just the way to achieve “community cohesion”…
This is some kind of pathetic appeal to misplaced nostalgia, designed (perhaps stupidly) to appeal to the very elderly (most of whom still vote Con anyway).
A few years ago, I would have supported this, but with all of the Ukraine/Israel war etc and my eyes open to government propaganda, I'm not sure if I'd support my son signing up to be exploited as propaganda government fodder. https://t.co/VKDyNVcr3P
You will not get much of interest from the likes of that “Akunjee” character.
Only the most awake (not “woke”) people understand that the NWO/ZOG System has chosen Starmer as its puppet to become an “elected” (via rigged selection and election procedures, FPTP voting etc) dictator, casting Britain into the pit of migration invasion, mass race-mixing and mixed breeding, and gigantic repression on free speech, dwarfing anything yet seen.

I still cannot understand why Sunak went out in the pouring rain to announce GE 2024. Was he trying to show the population that he is stoic, or a tough guy of some kind? What it said to me is that he is an absolute idiot, for all his paper qualifications; someone who does not know enough to put on a raincoat when it is raining hard, or at least have someone hold an umbrella over him. Someone such as that has not the basic nous to be Prime Minister.
Actually, what is the point of “National Service” even if the scheme could be enforced? In any serious war with Russia (the scenario constantly being pushed; no other exists), there will probably be a nuclear exchange before very long. The UK would be a, perhaps the, prime target for Russian attack. The “National Service” “chocolate soldiers” would be but pillars of ash long before being deployed anywhere outside the UK.
Come to think of it, how exactly would UK troops on any large scale be deployed? Both the air force and navy are now very small, and the air lift capacity very limited as well. As for the Royal Navy, its new aircraft carrier could carry a large number of troops, but it is not even defended by many naval fighter aircraft. It would probably be sunk long before it got to the Black Sea or Baltic.
I was out early today, before 0700 hrs, and the English countryside was arguably at its best in the fresh breeze and sun of the early summer (though I also very much love the autumn). How terrible if those green trees and sculptured ranks of hedges and topiary were to become a charred and irradiated wasteland, all because of a completely unnecessary and contrived war with Russia…

Antonov hits the nail on the head. Washington's reckless actions are only pushing us closer to conflict. Instead of prolonging this proxy war, it's time to think about real diplomacy and the future of US-Russia relations. Peace should be the priority, not endless military aid.
“Antonov: No one in Washington is thinking about the future of relations between the US and Russia “The American authorities do not think about the future of Russian-American relations and are engaged in destroying them”, said the Russian ambassador to the USA, Anatoly Antonov, commenting on the new American package of military aid to Kiev.“
Regular readers of the blog will probably have noticed my recent brief account (a few days ago) of my trip to Porton Down, in 1994 or 1995, with the then Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, Mr. Komissarenko, a trained biochemist.
Even by the 'standards' of the US #DeepState, this is truly appalling. And it sheds new light on the US funding of the #Wuhan lab & bats. War, famine & plague are 3 of the Four Horsemen of the #Apocalypse. The 4th is 'wild beasts'. Bats & geese? #prophecyhttps://t.co/2JmbciUhJl
What is happening in Ukraine is tragic, and could have been far less tragic, but could not have been avoided entirely.

Political instability may be on the horizon for the UK and other European countries. This may provide the opportunity for social-nationalism for which we have been waiting, but as yet there is no suitable vehicle.

The UK is in a similar position. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is now being set up as the fall guy for other causative factors in UK economic decline. The “Covid” measures taken weakened both the economy generally and the currency in particular. The massive (and massively defrauded) money giveaways, “furlough” payments, business “loans”, “Eat Out To Help Out”, £40 billion or more on the shambolic and completely useless “Test and Trace” system. Etc.
Now we see (what a shock…) that inflation is going to rise to ?7%, ?8%, or higher, within a year. We see that basic foodstuffs such as bread may double in price (bread price increase one of the few things genuinely the result of the Ukraine situation), and we have seen, already, petrol and diesel increasing hugely in price at the retail pumps.
Let’s be clear: the real economic villains here are not “Covid”, and not the Russian invasion, but the UK and other Western responses to those challenges.
Sanctions on Russia are a double-edged sword. They hit the UK as much as they hit Russia. Western Europe needs Russian gas, oil, and wheat. By refusing to buy most of Russia’s products, and by refusing to sell to Russia our products, we damage the lives and living standards of our own people, without —note this— helping the Ukrainians at all.
Unlike that lady there, I would not want to rejoin the EU, which may not even exist for much longer, but her basic point is right. This is an appallingly poor government, and the sad thing for the British people is that Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer’s fake “Opposition” is at least as hopeless.
There does not exist a political party for the British, and particularly English, people.
Ukraine war
[state of play as of 10/11 March 2022; map by Sky News]
As I predicted from the start, the Russian forces are not trying to occupy Western Ukraine (west of the Dnieper), except for the Black Sea littoral, and around Kiev.
It may be that they hope to take Odessa first (before Kiev) now. That would free forces to strike north towards Kiev, supplies and fuel permitting. Once the battle for Mariupol is finished, those forces will probably drive west towards the Dnieper.
Once Kharkov is taken, those forces will also drive west, probably towards Kiev (which is on the Dnieper river).
As for the reports that Syrians are being recruited as mercenaries by Putin; if true, that is a very negative move in terms of public relations. More non-Europeans in Europe…
According to the Daily Mail, this (below) is the latest on the ground:
Kiev is being encircled, gradually. As previously blogged, the tactics of this war, for all the modern arms in use, would be recognizable by the likes of El Cid or Richard the Lionheart— siege laid to cities, and then bombardment of the gradually starving defenders.
It is clear that it is only a matter of time before the entire Black Sea coast, with all ports (including Odessa) is under Russian control.
I have no idea where the main Ukrainian Army actually is. Possibly concentrated in the South East and around Kiev, but that is just a guess.
If the Russians succeed in taking all major cities excluding Lvov (i.e. Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, Dnipro [Dnepropetrovsk], Zaporozhye, Donetsk, and a few others almost as populous), then the war will change its character, and Russia will be in an easier position, fighting mainly in open country, a situation that will play to Russian strengths in armour, in the air, and in numbers.
In that event, and on those premises, the question for Russia will become one of whether it tries to take over the entire territory of the Ukraine, or whether it de facto allows the western part to exist as a quasi-rebel entity or hostile entity, with some kind of ragged border between that and the Russian-controlled east and south.
and again, more or less the same in the UK. “And none dare call it conspiracy“…

We have seen Russian soldiers, some very young, captured and then paraded in front of Western msm cameras. What then? Are no British, American, French, German journalists interested at all in their fate, or whether they have been treated according to, or as if under, international conventions? Are they being brutalized, tortured, or even just shot out of hand? We do not know. Are the forces of the Kiev regime committing their own war crimes? We do not know.
