Many readers of this blog will know that I have been subjected to a decade or more, about 13 years, of (relatively) low-level persecution by malicious Jew-Zionists. That includes (though not exhaustively) my having been nominally disbarred in 2016 (nominally only, because I had abandoned actual Bar practice in 2008 anyway), and includes also my more recent free speech trial (2023) and sentencing hearing (2024):
The sentencing hearing was in mid-March 2024, over 18 months ago as of today’s date.
The Jew-Zionist liars and perjurers of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] wanted the state to punish me for telling the truth and, also wanted to shut down my free speech and, especially, to shut down the blog.
In the event, most of “their” evil intentions never came to fruition: the blog has continued to be published (as it was even throughout the process of prosecution, trial, and sentencing).

Hitler talked about that in the 1940s. Now it is fairly well-known. On a completely veg diet, it is possible to feed 1 person for a year from food grown on a very small area of land, as little as a quarter or even a fifth of an acre, depending on climate, soil, irrigation etc.
Some studies suggest that, under optimal conditions (climate, soil, technique etc), even a tenth of an acre, a tiny plot (<4,000 square feet, or a strip 40 x 100 feet) , can be enough to sustain 1 person over a year.
A heavily meat-centred diet requires over 3 acres per person, 20x to 100x the area, compared to a fully-vegetarian diet.
A middle way might include some eggs, fish, chicken etc.
This is why the UK has to import a great deal of its food: too many inhabitants, combined with a mainly part-carnivorous population.

I see tweets here and there to the effect that 2029 is over 3 years away, and a general election could be held even 4 years from now, in late 2029. Also, that much can change politically in 3-4 years. True, but does anyone expect the migration invasion to stop or even slow in the intervening period? I think not. Is the UK economy likely to improve or even stabilize between now and 2029? I think not. Is anything much likely to improve in the UK between 2025 and 2029? I think not.
I happened to see the comment below, appended to a video on YouTube.
“A friend of mine was very high-ranking in the British Army during the Iraq war and knew Tony Blair personally. When I asked what he was like he told me that Blair is ‘demon-possessed’. He was quite serious and meant this literally. This surprised me as he is a mild-mannered, diplomatic man and not given to overstatement.”
I have no idea of the provenance and authenticity of that statement, but it rings true.
The McSweeney scandal is starting to boil down to this. Are he and No.10 seriously now going to try to pretend Labour Together had no role in Starmer's leadership campaign. Having spent the past 5 years briefing every journalist in Westminster they were central to that campaign.

'He is a mob orator'
Lord Jeffrey Archer shares his views about Nigel Farage and whether the Reform UK leader could become PM. pic.twitter.com/ZczFiS0KfY
Fraudulent perjurer and one-time Con politician (“con” in both senses), Jeffrey Archer, says that he has been surprised by how many people he has “met in the street” who say they are going to vote for Farage and Reform UK. I expect that it would surprise a dishonest chancer of the Archer type. He fails to see (or prefers not to see) that voters are turning to Reform not because Farage is (as Archer puts it) “the best mob orator since Michael Foot or Tony Benn” (the now-deceased fake “socialist” traitors and poseurs) but because the old System parties, Con, Lab, and LibDem, have run the UK into the ground, particularly over the last 35 years, arguably for far longer. The voters are intending to vote Reform not because of Farage, or indeed Reform itself, but because Reform is the only (quasi-) credible game in town that is not Lib, Lab, or Con.
It must be easier for Archer to “meet people in the street” now. The only time I myself ever saw him in the street was in the 1980s (I forget when exactly, probably circa 1985), somewhere in the Westminster area. As he exited one of several cars, his retinue of bodyguards and/or other idiots got in my way as I walked along the pavement. I actually had to walk onto the roadway to get past as that silly little man, about 5 feet tall, marched self-importantly inside a building, surrounded by his entourage of besuited nobodies.

Brilliant. Just what they deserve (well, if what I would do to them were taken off the table). 11 MPs. Finished. Totally.
In fact, if that poll is realized in a general election, the fake Conservative Party will have only 3 MPs more (11) than the fairly pathetic Green Party (8).

The fact is, that “digital ID” would do nothing to stop or “control” illegal migration-invasion (which is, in any case, only 5% or so of all migration into the UK).
Academic argument anyway. The Starmer-stein government of utter clowns may be able to get the proposed new law (and this would require new law) through the Commons, thanks to his GE 2024 majority of young, know-nothing, fake-Labour MPs, but to get the new law through the Lords may be a great deal more difficult.
Many older people do not even have a “smartphone”. I had a mobile telephone before most people; from 1992, I think, certainly in 1993, but now that I do not have to have one (as I did when a practising barrister), I choose not to have one, for several reasons.
Will older people (65+) not in possession of a smartphone be forced to buy one? Will they be exempted? We do not know.
Such telephones cost hundreds of pounds, too.
I can see this being yet another Starmer disaster for Labour. Good in that respect, then.
Of course, behind the “digital ID” plan are the usual sinister forces and secretive cabals, as we saw during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic.

[from my blog post of 5 October 2024]
Another talking point from the same 2024 blog post (originally headed “The “fake history” of the 1970s“)
I have blogged in the past about how very many people (including, weirdly, many who were at least in their teens then, and so actually of an age to remember) say, and even perhaps believe, that the 1970s in the UK were some kind of dark age in which the electricity was off most of the time, in which bodies were left unburied by reason of industrial action, in which trains and buses rarely ran, in which rubbish piled up in the towns and cities, in which there was a “three day week” when offices and factories were closed for four days each week, and in which life was generally miserable (for example, food was terrible, they say).
The above-noted fabled dystopia was, we are told, the result of overreaching trade union power and Labour misgovernment.
In other words, out of the 10 years, Labour was in power for about 6 years. Labour government was in place from the early 1960s until mid-1970, then from early 1974 until mid-1979.
Compare to 2024: 81.8% of seats based on 57.4% of the popular vote.
In 1966, the winning party (Labour) got 48% of the popular vote, the losing Conservatives 41.9%.
In 2024, Labour got 33.7%, and the losing Conservatives only 23.7%.
The electoral system has become not just unfair but also illogical and ridiculous. It no longer reflects reality.
Reverting to the general situation in the 1970s, the much-talked-about “Three Day Week” only affected, directly, commercial operations (which were banned from using electricity on the other four days). The Three Day Week only lasted for two months. Out of 10 years (120 months).
I saw the Three Day Week firsthand. I was working, aged just 18, as supposed assistant manager in a very small commercial intelligence outfit based in the Strand (London). The office only had 5 people including me, though we did have a network of mostly ad-hoc agents all over the southern and eastern parts of England (anywhere south or southwest of The Wash). Much of the work was in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Essex. The agents were often retired Army officers who, on being contacted, would —eagerly— say something such as “right-oh, old boy. I’ll fire up the Rover and get onto it.”
I must do a blog post sometime about it.
There were, in the early 1970s, strikes by coal miners etc, resulting in a few brief power cuts (“outages”, as the Americans say), but they lasted for a few hours a day, for a few days. Out of 10 years, again.
In the “Winter of Discontent” (1978-79), there were, for a few weeks, situations in some towns and cities whereby rubbish piled up, yes; that much of the “fable” is true, but only for a brief time. As for the “bodies left unburied“, that only applied in Liverpool and Manchester and only for 14 days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent#Gravediggers’_strike.
In fact, though the 1970s had its problems political, social, economic, Britain still had possibilities. The population was still almost entirely white Northern European, new ideas and projects were around or developing (the Milton Keynes conurbation, the Open University, new express trains, cross-Channel hovercraft etc), and the absurd and damaging house-price madness, though it had started, was still in its early stages.
Britain still had a functioning Army, Navy, Air Force (etc), and a police force that mainly did its expected job and was not usually the sort of poundshop Stasi we now see, snooping on or “monitoring” the expression of views and opinions.
Incidentally, the food was OK back then on the whole. Slightly less cosmopolitan, yes, but in the South of England at least, foreign foods such as hummus, taramasalata, olives, Indian, Chinese, etc were ubiquitous. In fact, some food was better and more available back then.
What I find worrying is not only that people who were not there, or were small children, are convinced that England in 1970-1979 was a dark and gloomy place; more that people who were there seem to have substituted, for what actually happened, a kind of folk-tale.
As for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Largan, who was parachuted into the constituency of High Peak (Derbyshire) and served as MP from GE 2019 to GE 2024, he was only born in 1987.
If people cannot recall accurately the 1970s, how much less accurate must be the “memories”, often publicized, of the 1930s and 1940s.“
[extract from a blog post of 5 October 2024]
Update to that blog piece:
Former MP Robert Largan, who has, in past years, tweeted about me a couple of times in a hostile manner, and who crowed mightily on behalf of the malicious Jew-Zionist pro-Israel cabal, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, when his own constituent, Alison Chabloz, was imprisoned for having (notionally, supposedly) “offended” Jews by having sung songs , lost his Commons seat in 2024. One of the shortest political careers on record, and one unlikely to be resurrected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Largan; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Peak_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.
I think that Largan wants to come back as MP for High Peak, but that will probably prove to be a vain hope. Even were he to be reselected by the Conservative Party (surely unlikely, after his dishonesty during the 2024 campaign— see Wikipedia), the Conservative Party “brand” is ebbing away to nothing nationwide. Largan’s only hope would be to join Reform UK, and then hope to be selected as their candidate for High Peak. Very unlikely, though “never say never” in politics.
Incidentally, on that same blog post from last October, I noted Matt Goodwin’s excited tweet about how Reform UK had reached its highest-ever opinion poll level— 20%! Here we are, just under a year later, and Reform is at about or as high as 35%, and rarely goes below 30%.
Further talking point (from a blog post published in September 2024)
“The Second World War was disastrous in many ways: including the destruction of the German Reich; the reinforcement of Stalinism not only in the Soviet Union but also across both Eastern and Central Europe; the huge human and animal cost in terms of death, injury, and other harm; the destruction of the very concept of “Central Europe” [“Mitteleuropa”] for nearly two generations; the collapse of the civilized European empires across Africa, Asia, and elsewhere; the huge environmental, wildlife and human cost of decolonization; the near-squeezing-out from Europe of European-centred ideology between American finance-capitalism and Marxist-Leninist Sovietism; the 1948 establishment of the state of Israel, and the consequent increase of Jewish wealth, influence and power in the world generally; the shrinking proportion of white Northern Europeans as against the general population of the world.
Today, we again stand on the brink of European and “world” war. If it were to happen, and whether it were to start in the Middle East or Eastern Europe, or even in the Far East, it would be more disastrous in its consequences even than were the previous two “world” wars.
Statesmen and political leaders of all existing states must pull back from the brink.“
The situation today, a year later, is more or less the same, though arguably even more perilous.

I said, three years or more ago, on the blog, that “slightly to my surprise, Keir Starmer appears absolutely clueless“. Was I right or wrong?
The key issue for Keir Starmer is this. Was he aware before PMQs that Mandelson had expressed his support for Epstein after his conviction. If he was, then his expression of confidence in the House was clearly an attempt to mislead the House. And he has to resign. https://t.co/LT7NKjSoxc
It is not a question of whether Starmer will step down, but how and when. By resignation, and quite soon? After his MPs revolt after the local elections are a metaphorical bloodbath next year (2026)? After he loses the next General Election in (?) 2028 or 2029?
Can Keir Starmer survive? Inside the plot to bring down the prime minister.

Having said that, nothing countries such as the UK or France or Germany could send to Ukraine would change substantially the situation on the ground, which is that Russian forces continue to advance, the Kiev-regime forces continue to fall back, and the latter are losing 1,000-2,000 men every day.

We have no need to read scholarly works about the ancient Medes and Persians to see that the relationship between economic strength and military strength is elastic, not simple. Look at North Korea: economically near zero in conventional terms, yet a major regional power militarily, and one which, if it were to acquire deliverable nuclear weapons, might be regarded as a potential world power.
It is true that Israel, Pakistan, and India all have nuclear weapons, and yet are not world powers, but it might be argued that Israel and perhaps India are anyway already more than simply regional powers.

[“After the latest war between Iran and the Israeli regime, gaps in the defense systems of both sides were revealed. In these circumstances, Tehran intends to deploy the Russian advanced electronic warfare system “Krasukha-4” in the country in order not only to increase its deterrence potential, but also to create a balance of power in the region.
“Krasukha-4” is capable of blinding enemy radars and disorienting reconnaissance satellites. The deployment of this system in Iran is seen not only as strengthening the defense potential, but also as a strategic move that will entail serious geopolitical consequences for the entire region.“]

Similar to many other recent polls. Reform more than simply “well ahead”; really the only contender at present. Labour abandoned by senior citizens/pensioners, and most white English/British voters generally, and even by “the young” (16-24 age group), who are switching to Green or the LibDems.
Labour is now really just the party of a small tranche of virtue-signalling English/British idiots, some of the better-paid public service workers, and some of the ethnic minorities, mainly the blacks and Pakistanis etc, though Starmer-stein’s Israel puppetry or serfdom has turned off even many of those.
As for the Conservative Party, its voter base is now almost exclusively those better-off pensioners who do not really keep up with events, and have voted Conservative all their lives. Habit voters.
It is not impossible to imagine a Con Party national vote of around 15% at the next general election, which would leave the Cons with as few as a couple of dozen MPs.

French media: France has quietly informed hospitals to prepare for mass casualty scenarios by March 2026, with a capacity of up to 50,000 wounded soldiers. pic.twitter.com/nUBytN2Ith
Well, the French Army (l’armee de terre) has, including all reserves, a strength of 150,000, so if casualties evacuated are to be 50,000, the dead and wounded together might be around (?) 75,000, i.e. half the strength of the entire land army.
Is Macron really intending to get involved in a war with Russia? Does he really think that he can re-introduce conscription in France? If so, how long does he think that he has to get untrained youths battle-ready from scratch?
Actually, if France gets involved in a war with Russia, 50,000 hospital beds will be far from enough— Paris has over 2M people, and might be subjected to attack by nuclear missiles, as might the major strategic military and naval facilities, such as the submarine base at Crozon in Brittany.
A second French Revolution might happen if Macron is doing more than rattling his sabre.

LEAKED —> CONFIRMED: The doctor who lied about me in the Daily Mail's defamatory article —Dr. Miriam Green—is the same 'colleague' who complained to the Whittington Hospital (our workplace) about my online Palestine activism and had me fired.
[“LEAKED —> CONFIRMED: The doctor who lied about me in the Daily Mail’s defamatory article —Dr. Miriam Green—is the same ‘colleague’ who complained to the Whittington Hospital (our workplace) about my online Palestine activism and had me fired. Miriam is a jewish doctor who has ties to ‘israel’ and has worked/volunteered with their ambualnce service (Magen David Adom (MDA)). She rotated into my department (Trauma and Orthopaedics) in April 2024 and was my junior (first-year doctor/F1). It appears that Miriam was unhappy that I was speaking about Gaza and the genocide in the staff room to my colleagues. What did she do? She complained to the hospital, complained to the Jewish Medical Association (JMA), and collaborated with Sabrina Miller (‘journalist’) to lie about me in the Daily Mail. When I announced on social media that I was going to respond to the article and reveal her identity, the UK ‘israel’ lobby and jewish supremacist groups and individuals carried out a mass doxxing and smear campaign on me: · My private information was shared. · A friend and fellow doctor was doxxed that same night. · Their private information was shared. · I received rape and death threats. · We both had to call the police. · The police came to my home. · They sent me panic alarms and followed up with me for weeks. · They transferred me to a hate crime support group. (The jewish doctor- Dr Justin Stebbing- who reported me to my medical board [GMC], this February, claimed that I lied about the above, attached the article from @5Pillarsuk reporting it, and alleged ‘dishonesty’) The smear campaign didn’t stop me— I went ahead and published my response anyway. I revealed that the ‘colleague’ in the article was Miriam Daliah Green (using only publicly available information) and defended myself from her fabrications. What did Miriam do? She called the police and reported me for ‘doxxing’ her. The police called me asked me not to contact her. When I told the PO that I hadn’t contacted her, he was shocked. Clearly, she had painted a different picture. When I explained the story further, he was baffled by Miriam’s claims and said he didn’t need to hear anything else, and he dropped the matter. That’s not the worst part. When I worked with Miriam, I had gone into the staff room tearful after seeing that the IOF had ran over and bulldozed a Palestinian Trauma and Orthopaedics patient (with a leg cast on) and killed him. Since that is my speciality, I felt like it could have been any of my patients. This is what I told Miriam when she turned to see why I was upset. What did Miriam say? ‘Too bad.’ After being fired from the Whittington, it was Miriam who removed me from the work group chats (see picture). The Daily Mail article was published in February 2025—a couple of days after I won my first GMC investigation (initiated by UKLFI). The title was: ‘Are Jews Safe In The NHS?’. It was revenge against the @gmcuk, the @NHSuk, and Britain for not persecuting me. In May 2025, I decided to submit a complaint against Miriam to the GMC for: · Breach of Honesty and Integrity and Weaponising Media Platforms for Personal or Political Gain: Lies in the Daily Mail meant to silence and intimidate me from my anti-genocide activism. · Lack of Compassion and Empathy: Regarding the killing of a Palestinian patient. · Discrimination: Against me as a part-Palestinian colleague. The GMC decided in July 2025 that none of the above warrants an investigation. — As for me: Part of my now second GMC investigation and first referral to a tribunal hearing—which could potentially suspend me and revoke my license—is that I ‘doxxed’ Miriam Green. The same Miriam who made sure that, in less than one month of working with me, I was fired. This is jewish supremacy (Zionism). This is jewish privilege. This is the double standard. This is Britain. We are occupied.“]

Nigerian woman Kemi Badenoch was declared the new Conservative Party leader on 2 November 2024. She is therefore immune from formal challenge until 3 November 2025. As of that date, Con Party MPs are entitled to put in letters of dissatisfaction to the Chairman of the 1922 Committee. A leadership election can be triggered by letters sent by 15% or more of Con Party MPs. That would be a mere 18 MPs at present.
My expectation is that Kemi Badenoch will face a leadership election process before the end of 2025. The first step after the election having been triggered would be a knockout ballot of MPs, in which all candidates (each having 10+ nominations) would take part; there would be a maximum of 12 candidates (because there are only 120 MPs).
Assuming that Kemi Badenoch does not step down, she would be one of those candidates, but it is quite likely that she would be eliminated early on, after her disastrous performance in the past 10 months. The Conservative Party is now as low as 15% in the polls, a level which, at a general election, might mean a cadre of as few as 20 —or even, possibly, 10— Con Party MPs in the post-GE Commons. If so, the Con Party would be only the 5th-largest party in the Commons (after Reform, Labour, LibDems, and the SNP), and might only be the 6th-largest.
Anyway, looks to me that it’s bye-bye Kemi quite soon, either way.
Incidentally, when Kemi Badenoch was elected leader last year, the Spectator ran a front page cover saying “Victory for Kemi Badenoch means victory for the Conservatives“. Cocaine-snorting drunk, Conservative Friends of Israel puppet, and former MP and government minister, Michael Gove, editor of the magazine since September 2024, displaying his political prediction skills yet again…
Still, silver linings and all that. At least she was never let loose on patients.
A perfect example of how woke culture, in their "we like diversity and inclusivity" performance, will ostracize anyone who doesn't share their belief system.
Conservatives gone (next GE), Labour all but gone (next GE), and Reform triumphant (next GE) but then gone. After that, clear the streets for social nationalism!

Is there any point in keeping these untermenschen in our society? I think not.
Just look at migration invasion alone. Starmer says that he wants to close down all “asylum hotels” by 2029. Oh yes? So where will the bastards be put? Social housing, or private rentals, which should be reserved for white English/British/European people exclusively.
Starmer hopes to hide the million or more a year (of all immigrants) entering the UK among the existing inhabitants of this country. He is dishonest, incompetent, and useless. An enemy of the people.
“More than a year into this government, they're only just working out that they might need some senior economic expertise within No. 10.”
I was saying on the blog 3-4 years ago how utterly clueless (to my surprise, actually) Starmer was. Nothing has changed (except that I am no longer surprised).
I happened to see a few minutes of a TV programme recently which showed a black woman who, quite deliberately, takes groups of blacks (only blacks) trekking in the countryside of southern England. She wants to make the countryside more “welcoming” to blacks. We are not even allowed peaceful quiet enjoyment of our own countryside now.
Goodwin is right. Groups such as that mentioned as infesting Leicester University are enemies. We are not in a “debate” but in the early stages of a war.

The Empire, Commonwealth (in any real way), monarchy, have gone, or effectively gone to perdition. The Con Party in 2025 is basically the property of the Jew-Zionist lobby, the Indian and other ultra-wealthy cabals etc, and is totally out of touch with British people and events.

Translates to: Reform about 360 MPs and a comfortable Commons majority, Labour 113, LibDems 59, Cons 54 [etc].
One thought: is a fifth of the electorate really intending to vote “Conservative”? Seems very doubtful to me.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has authorized a plan for the capture of Gaza City, with the operation being given the codename Gideon’s Chariots-2, the Israeli state broadcaster Kan reported:https://t.co/4Jym0baYB7pic.twitter.com/kHlUfZyz2Z

What the Israeli Jews (with help and money from Jews across the world) have done to Palestine generally, not just Gaza, over the past 77+ years, is not only appalling, but is a warning to non-Jews in the rest of the world.

[“The Hebrew newspaper “Yedioth Ahronoth” reports from a foreign report: Data from Pentagon documents clarify the American difficulty in replenishing the stockpile. During the “12-day war,” the United States used more than 100 THAAD missiles – that is a quarter of the system’s operational stock. However, the production pace does not keep up with the required support for “Israel”: last year, only 11 THAAD missiles were produced, and this year only 12 are expected to be produced. According to American experts, this is a very rare resource and constitutes a critical part of the American deterrence system even against other adversaries like China.”]

Life is always surprising
Never has the phrase, “they don’t make ‘em like they use to” been so true.
Long-term and regular readers of the blog will know that I have blogged a few times about the month I spent at the oasis of Siwa in the Western Desert of Egypt in 1998 (part of three straight months I spent in Egypt that year). Siwa had slave caravans coming through from Central Africa to the Nile and Nile Delta right up until the 1940s, I think the late 1940s.
One of several unusual features about Siwa is that, at least until the late 20thC, men were not allowed to marry until aged 40, but girls were always married by their early teens. I was told that the girls now finish their schooling first (whether that means 16 or 18, probably 16).

What is known about detention of Ukrainian saboteurs trained by Western intel agencies. The sabotage group consisted of career officers of the Special Operations Service curated by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate:https://t.co/7gWx4X9Pi4pic.twitter.com/EAHRiyMdrC
“Both men had their sentences suspended after Judge Vanessa Baraitser considered the bursting prison population and an assessment by the Probation Service that found both defendants were unlikely to reoffend if they took up the opportunity to do self-help workshops. Both must pay compensation to their victims and attend rehabilitation days instead.
Williams-Gillett reached through the window and took his car keys. When his pregnant partner asked for the keys back, Williams-Gillett tried to punch her. By now the dad 50, had come back down the stairs and tried to pull Williams-Gillett away from the partner, triggering a brutal assault.
“Your response to that was to launch a violent attack on him. To stab him repeatedly to his face, so hard the keys were bent out of shape from the impact,” said Judge Baraitser.
Unable to start the car, the man phoned his cousin for help, while Williams-Gillett’s brother Fabian Bennett also arrived carrying a metal baseball bat. Bennett immediately set to work on the dad with the baseball bat, hitting his legs, ribs, and body. Williams-Gillett also joined in the beating, kicking the dad and using the baseball bat.
Bennett then turned to the pregnant woman, grabbed her by the throat, and bent her backwards over a fence while goading her partner ‘using her as bait’. When the cousin arrived in his Citroen, the man and his partner got in the car while Williams-Gillett used the bat to smash the windows, including where a child was sitting.
The cousin was punched in the face, but the first male victim managed to drive everyone away leaving his Hyundai behind. When he came back to get the car, the doors had been broken and his partner’s purse containing £350 in cash and her Monzo card was stolen.
Williams-Gillett was sentenced to 18 months suspended for 20 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must also pay £1,700 in compensation. Bennett got 12 months suspended for 18 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must pay £500 compensation.”

The Hebrew caption reads: “Anyone who throws a water bottle can also throw a grenade. Mobilize everyone.” That refers to the exemption of the “black hat” Jews from military service in Israel/Occupied Palestine. Those “black hats” are a cowardly bunch, though. Look at how that young woman is able to chase one who threw water at her, and kick another in the rear!

Stunning. Translates to about 394 MPs for Reform UK, an official majority of 68, in reality about 80.
Labour 83 MPs (the lowest predicted in recent times, I believe; in 1931, Labour scored only 52 MPs). Labour’s predicted 83 MPs result is all the more stunning following Starmer-Labour’s 411 MPs, elected only a year ago, at GE 2024.
LibDems are predicted to get 56 MPs, Cons 43, SNP 40, Greens 8 (etc).
As I have been saying for years on the blog, we in the UK, particularly in England, are in a negative-voting situation, in which people vote against, not for.
It just so happens that both the main System parties have pretty much burned their boats with the voting public. That does not mean that people really enthuse much about Reform UK and Farage etc. It means, simply, that most white English people, especially, are now completely hostile to both Lab and Con. They are willing to vote Reform as a last throw of the “democratic” dice. If —and when— Reform govern, or try to govern, and fail, then the people will be ready to turn to a proper social national alternative.
This puts Farage and Reform in a strong position. Because people are well aware that Farage and Reform and, indeed, most Reform candidates, MPs etc, are rather underwhelming, little scandal can really touch them, because the voters seem now very ready to vote against both Lab and Con, and because Reform is the only game in town that carries any weight at present, electorally.
📈NEW POST📈
Why are so many people in the UK abandoning the establishment for @Nigel_Farage & Reform?
A huge new survey of 4,000 Reformers shows why
➡️They are utterly sick and tired of BOTH illegal and legal mass immigration
I agree, overall. However, the pro-Reform vote is really, and as Goodwin’s own argument shows, a vote against the System parties and against mass immigration, inter alia. It is not really a vote for any particular policy programme.
Not that that really matters in electoral terms. If it comes to pass, that poll means that 328 Labour MPs will be binned in or before 2029, as will 77 Conservative Party MPs (including Alex Burghart, James Cleverly, Dunce Duncan Smith, Christopher Chope, Mel Stride, Simon Hoare, Helen Whately, David Davis, Caroline Dineage, Kit Malthouse, Julian Lewis, Desmond Swayne, Rishi Sunak, Nick Timothy, Andrew Mitchell, Katie Lam, Priti Patel, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick and, last but not least, Carpetbagger Kemi Badenoch herself).
If it happens, that must mean the end of the Conservative Party as a serious political force, notwithstanding its long history and the predicted bloc of 43 surviving the cull of two-thirds of the Con Party MPs.
Even now, in 2025, the Conservative Party appears totally irrelevant.
The predicted huge cull of Labour MPs would include such names as Angela Rayner, Jess Phillips, Christian Wakeford, Mary Creagh, Ed Miliband, Mike Tapp, Luke Akehurst (one of the most “controlled” Israel puppets), John McDonnell, Bridget Phillipson, Wes Streeting, Rachel “from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves, Liz Kendall, Nia Griffith, Yvette Cooper, Anna Turley, Chris Bryant, Paul Waugh, Sarah Champion, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Kim Leadbeater, Gareth Snell, Heidi Alexander, Angela Eagle, Lisa Nandy, and Emma Reynolds.
Many deserving “victims” there, most of them Israel-lobby puppets.
The emotional response to this verdict is understandable but will we ever find out why the jury decided not guilty?
Any barrister, at least any barrister grounded in reality (I myself am no longer any kind of barrister, a wrongful and unlawful disbarment having been instigated by a pack of Jews in 2016), can tell you why a jury has acquitted that anti-white black agitator who called openly in the street for white British people to have their throats cut.
The chances are that the jury was mainly or entirely composed of non-whites. I used to appear from time to time at Snaresbrook Crown Court in the early 1990s and, in 1992, as a Bar pupil (trainee), was there several times a month, my pupillage having been part-criminal.
Even in the 1990s, the juries at Snaresbrook were often, in fact usually, at least partly non-white. Scroll on about 32 or 33 years and one can imagine that that is now even more the case.
Add to that the fact that many jurors in London are now people who are quite opposed to “law and order” generally (and that applies even more to Snaresbrook Crown Court, the catchment area for jurors of which being East London; Snaresbrook has a relatively high acquittal rate).
Remember the O.J. Simpson original trial in California? Despite the American msm bs (I was in the USA at the time), the fact is that the defence, shorn of a huge amount of (mostly) nonsense, amounted to “the victim was white, the defendant black, so the black jury should acquit the black of killing the white“. Which is what happened.
“From an original jury pool of 40 percent white, 28 percent black, 17 percent Hispanic, and 15 percent Asian, the final jury for the trial had ten women and two men, of whom nine were black, two white, and one Hispanic.” [Wikipedia].
…and look at all those white English people, many of them women, weak “me-too” idiots, clapping as the untermensch incited throat-slitting British people. They should all be in a concentration camp, as should the untermensch.
100% 💯 ! Kallas, von der Leyen, Merz, …..we have to arrest them.
That is the sort of brainless bimbo we are expected to accept should rule over us via the EU or other supra-national body. Another one is the former Finnish Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, a complete idiot. Both puppets of NWO/ZOG, of course.

The monster will be out in about 7-8 months, if not 6 months. My solution? Wall. Squad. End.

I used to go occasionally to the very small (and now shut down by reason of spending cuts) Penzance County Court about 18-23 years ago. I think the last case I did there was about the loss, and valuation, of a rather expensive diamond ring.
This is going to be absolute chaos in the courts, because the judicial review deciding whether the ban of Palestine Action is lawful isn't being heard until November
What are courts supposed to do if people start running defences that they were arrested on an unlawful basis?
In any case, a judicial review has the quasi-automatic consequence that criminal or civil cases likely to be affected by the outcome are stayed until the judicial review (and any appeal from the decision therefrom) is decided.
It would be good were reporters, journalists etc to know a little basic law before they start to comment.

The irrelevance of the Conservative Party is plainly seen there. Despite Starmer-stein having a disapproval rating of 60%, and Kemi Badenoch having one of “only” 35%, when it comes to positive approval, the two are both down in the trough of public esteem: Starmer 23%, Kemi Badenoch 24%. Indeed, fewer people actively disapprove of Kemi Badenoch (35%) than disapprove of Farage (41%), but when it comes to positive approval, Farage, on 37%, easily outpaces Kemi Badenoch’s 24%.
41% of people are unsure as to whether they approve or disapprove of Kemi Badenoch, a sure sign that she has made little impression on the public (and it can be seen that what impression she has made is mostly not favourable). By contrast, only 22% of the public are “unsure” about Farage— people either approve or disapprove of him, in almost equal numbers.
People are even more sure about Starmer. Only 17% are “unsure” about him, but 60% disapprove of him.

Quite simple. 14 years of total maladministration and misgovernment finished the Conservative Party with most of the electorate, though 3 out of every 12 voters who voted (3 out of every 20 eligible) still voted Con in 2024 (Labour had 4 out of 20 or 4 out of 12). Most of those Con voters were over 60 years of age, many over 80. They have mostly now gone to Reform UK, and many are expiring daily by reason of old age etc. The next general election may not be until 2029; how many habitual Con voters will have expired by then?
The young (anyone under 30, indeed the vast majority under 40) will not be voting Con. Most of the ethnic minority (rapidly becoming majority) voters prefer Labour or other parties. So who is left?
Yvette is my Labour hero but this is a cock-up. Proscribing PA is both ridiculous – they’re not terrorists – and a red rag to a bull encouraging many more on to the streets, apparently all to be arrested! We don’t have the police or cell space to do it and what a waste of time &…
Once again, the “snake in the grass” here is the Jewish-Zionist/Israel lobby in the UK, which has most of the politicians of the two main System parties (and Reform, too, it seems) in its pocket. The (((lobby))) wants many many organizations banned or prosecuted; it wants many individuals prosecuted, too (they have already tried it with me: see below:
Strange that that former Conservative Party tweeter, Fiona-Natasha Syms (her ex-husband was Conservative Party MP for Poole until 2024; he lost by a mere 18 votes; and she worked for him, paid generously out of her ex-husband’s MP expenses) thinks that (of all people) Yvette Cooper is to be admired. Nein danke! Yvette Cooper is a would-be dictator, very dishonest, a moneygrubber and expenses cheat (as was her husband, Ed Balls), and a “refugees welcome” dimwit to boot! Also, like all of Starmer-stein’s Cabinet —except a few servile Muslims— a member of Labour Friends of Israel.

The full clip is yet worse. Nasty & arrogant now, nasty & arrogant young. Her comms are a disaster but how do you spin the mess she creates every time she opens her mouth.
Short-sighted Con voters in some parts of England have, in the past couple of decades, shown themselves willing, in my view very wrongly, to vote for non-Europeans such as Kemi Badenoch as their constituency MP, so long as the right party label is affixed. Putting promises of low taxation etc above racial or national pride. That has led to the brainless Conservatives imagining that the country as a whole will vote, in effect, for a party led by a non-white MP. Very misguided. Look at Sunak.
True, that was not the only factor that sank the Conservatives at GE2024, but it was one important factor. Sunak was, in that sense, more “electable” than Kemi Badenoch. After all, people look at Indians en masse and see business, at least some organizational skills and, in Sunak’s case, a UK upbringing. Added to that, the vast wealth of his wife’s family and so his own wealth, meaning that, whether rightly or wrongly, he is at least perceived to be “in it” not for personal money reasons. Compare that to Kemi Badenoch, a loudmouth careerist carpetbagger.
Most Brits, not unfairly, look at Nigeria and see chaotic maladministration, corruption even worse than that of India, and nothing at all to admire. Kemi Badenoch was not even brought up in the UK. Her parents made sure that she was born in London, so that (under the law as it then was, in 1980) she could later claim a British passport, but she was only in the UK for a few days before being returned to Nigeria. She lived there and in the USA until at least age 16.
For those who say that Kemi Badenoch is scarcely a typical Nigerian, well, yes. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, in effect (not an exact quotation), “the rich are different from you and me; they have more money“.
Yes, Kemi Badenoch is not a typical Nigerian. I have known a few like her, such as the Nigerian princess with whom I was acquainted in the mid/late 1980s, and whose (much older) husband was a Federal High Court judge in Nigeria. However, the basic model is still there, not far under the surface. (if anyone is interested, that Nigerian princess was shot dead in her luxury apartment in Lagos , nearly 30 years ago; Lagos is a rather dangerous place).
I just cannot believe that the British public will vote for a Prime Minister who is a Nigerian woman. The very idea, at least to me, is utterly farcical.
When you add to that her abrasive personality etc, you see how disastrous Kemi Badenoch is for the Conservative Party, which looks increasingly irrelevant.
No, don’t resign. Stay in place, dragging down your double salary (MP + ministerial) plus expenses, and making money out of being an exploitative private landlady. That will help to sink Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel government even faster.
Anyone who has had to deal with the chaotic crazy mess called “HMRC” will be familiar with the term “Kafka-esque“. I am glad to say that my interaction with them ceased some 13-14 years ago (in relation to matters now 20-40 years in the past). I found it hard to believe, at the time, that such chaotic maladministration could exist in this country.
[incidentally…internet definitions of “Kafka-esque“:
“extremely unpleasant, frightening, and confusing, and similar to situations described in the novels of Franz Kafka: He is caught up in a Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare. The urban landscape is invested with a nightmarish, Kafkaesque bleakness.”
and/or
“Synonyms of Kafkaesque:
surreal.
unusual.
irrational.
illogical.
strange.
unreasonable.
weird.
misleading.“
From what I read in newspapers, HMRC has not improved much, if at all, since they decided to engage in dialogue with me 13-18 years ago.
Translates to about 414 Reform UK MPs, 94 Labour, 54 LibDems, 37 SNP, Cons 21.
That would be a Commons majority greater than that of Starmer in 2024, and almost as great as that of Blair in 1997. Prior to that, very large majorities were achieved in the early 1930s, in the 1920s, and by Earl Grey’s government of 1832. All times of sweeping change.
Of course, 32% of the popular vote is not huge in historical terms, but is about what Starmer-Labour gathered-in in 2024. It hardly matters that your vote is “only” 32% if your main opponents are getting 20% and 16%.

I wonder whether the fanatically pro-Israel Jew-Zionists of the UK (etc), such as those malicious abusers of the English legal system, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], are listening?
Incidentally, I see that lying perjurer Gideon Falter, the head or figurehead of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, was allowed to publish a fairly long opinion piece in the Daily Telegraph. The horrible little bastard had the sheer gall to write about the small number of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza that they now look like Jews starved in German camps at the end of the Second World War.
That at a time when an Arab Palestinian population in the many hundreds of thousands, including huge numbers of civilians (many of them children), is being deliberately starved to death in Gaza by the (Israeli) Jews, a para-military campaign backed to the hilt by (non-Israeli) Jews such as Falter.
As a matter of fact, I should not be surprised if Falter, effectively an agent of influence of a foreign power, Israel, is not an Israeli passport-holder himself, perhaps a dual Israel/UK passport-holder (maybe even a triple passport-holder (Israel/UK/Austria).
I accept that the hostages in Gaza should be released, but the Palestinians have been pushed to the genocidal brink, and have few chips to play.
Israel should also release its own prisoners, of course. Some of them have also been brutalized and starved.

Owner of Camelot Castle Hotel John Mappin fumes at the state of illegal migration into the UK and the Government's apparent lack of urgency to act on it. pic.twitter.com/nW0fQgWF7d
I once stayed overnight at Mappin’s hotel, a Victorian castle hotel at Tintagel, North Cornwall, the one-time seat of King Arthur. In late 2001; December 2001. It was not really run properly as “an hotel” should be; I believe that, since then, it has been taken in hand by Mappin, the heir to a very considerable fortune (think Mappin & Webb, the jewellers). I just read today that he bought it in 1999.
When I was there, it was hugely atmospheric, like a decayed private castle, an effect emphasized by the fact that my wife and I were the only guests, and the staff, in the evening at least, consisted of a not terribly welcoming middleaged Englishman and his (possibly Austrian) wife. I recall that our rather cold room (I think it may have had a four-poster, and an ancient bar fire set into the wall) cost £200 a night, quite expensive in the money of 24 years ago. Akin maybe to £400+ today.
I well recall, after eating informally at a local pub in the nearby village (no restaurant open then at the Castle), being seated before a Hollywood-film-scale blazing fire in the Great Hall, and being served a double or triple Irish whiskey, the absence of other guests making it seem as if we were in our own home (or castle).
In the morning, a very pleasant and very rickety old retainer-woman served breakfast in a long gallery, her tiny grandchild hanging onto her skirts, as the Cornish winter waves crashed onto the rocks below, as in Rebecca.
Memorable.
I blogged, years ago, about our stay. The Castle once played host to many of the rich and famous, especially in the years before the First World War. Composers such as Arnold Bax, and Elgar (who wrote much of his Second Symphony in the very room in which we were staying): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._2_(Elgar)#Extra-musical_considerations.
Good to see that Mappin is awake to at least part of the problem in the UK, but he is so very careful to push the “peaceful” protest idea— writing to MPs, becoming a candidate in elections etc. Yes but no but…

The very idea is, of course, ludicrous, and would be even were those non-Jews born in Israel, which would be almost impossible anyway.

Gallup: Most Ukrainians want negotiations as a way to end the war
According to a Gallup agency survey, 69% of Ukrainians now support ending the war through negotiations. Only 24% want the fight to continue "until victory" – the lowest percentage so far.
“Ukraine” (Kiev regime) “fighting until it wins the war” is now impossible. It always was, even if “victory” means merely taking over the oblasti of Crimea, Lugansk, and Donetsk (rather than any capture of the territory of pre-2014 Russia or destruction of the Russian armies in the field).
Reality has now been accepted by the vast majority of Ukrainians, and I expect that a majority would now accept Russian rule over all Ukraine east of the Dnieper.
