“Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves is now Chancellor of the Exchequer. What could possibly go wrong?…

Walls, squads, and ends are better.

The very idea that the Home Office and System political cretins believe that the way to stop knife crime is to ban knives. Get rid of those not just carrying knives (many do so legitimately), but those who also use them to hurt others. The vast majority of the latter are black or brown.

[“Our once high trust society has been destroyed in only a few decades. You’re even seeing a rise with White people doing it and I think it’s other people’s cultures rubbing off on them to some degree for being around them for so long. I know people who are constantly advocating for kitchen knives to be modified and I keep asking them “why do we need that when it never used to be like this?”]

One former MP, a “Conservative” cretin called Scott Mann, even wanted tracking devices put into the hilts of each and every knife, even kitchen knives! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Mann_(politician)

He was so ridiculous that I posted a blog article about him several years ago:

No longer an MP, and justly booted back into obscurity.

Zoe Gardner has made a whole career by selling out the British people.

Disgusting woman.

She must hate white British people too, if she belongs to the fake “Green Party”, which wants even more black/brown immigration:

It is good to see young people, including young women, waking up. My unconquerable children!

Many Jew-Zionists do display signs of being “brainwashed”, in a sense; brought up in a very strict schedule of ancient religious festivals etc (most of which celebrate Jewish ethnic supremacism and/or military and/or intelligence successes, including ethnic cleansing).

Then add to that the largely-fake”holocaust” mythus and narrative, and the modern “Israel” foundation myth or “ur-mythus” as seen in so many post-1945 “American” films, such as Exodus [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_(1960_film)], and Spielberg’s Schindler’s List (a film made as quasi-“fact”, but in fact based on a novel written by an Australian who was only 4 years old in 1939. Even Wikipedia calls his book (Shindler’s Ark) “historical fiction“: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Keneally.

Schindler’s Ark/Schindler’s List are no more “fact” than is, say, Day of the Jackal [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_of_the_Jackal].

Something such as Exodus is (or was), however, powerful political propaganda showing only one, and a very partial, side of a multi-sided struggle.

South Africa

I happened to see a blog post from nearly two years ago. I think that the facts displayed should be far better known than they are.

Another talking point

South Africa – 1st for deaths by knife globally – 8th highest murder rate globally – a woman is more likely to be raped than learn to read – 32% unemployment rate – [only] 46% of children in secondary education.”

[from a tweet seen]

…and yet the whole System mass media, all the fake “celebrities”, all the “antifa” dimwits, pretty much all the Labour Party membership etc still think that South Africa is better than it was in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s. They still think that thick-as-two-short-planks Nelson Mandela was both saintly and incredibly intelligent (in fact, he was a would-be terrorist leader who turned to African revolution at the age of 42, and after having failed his law degree several times, and the only reason he was not an active terrorist leader is because he was so inept at conspiracy, and was arrested before he could start a race war against South African whites).

Few people in the West are aware of the true facts, or that those behind Mandela and his botched race-war terror strategy were Jews, including at least one formerly involved in the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing.

South Africa may have needed reform in the 1960-1990 period, but African “majority rule” was always going to be disastrous. It has been.

I wrote that almost two years ago on the blog. Still true.

Even now, the name “Nelson Mandela” is customarily intoned on TV quiz shows and news broadcasts in the UK with ludicrous reverence. That thick African “secular saint”, in reality a failed law student and a failed, inept, would-be terrorist “leader” is (or so they pretend) venerated by System talking heads, scribblers, political drones etc. All part of the overall conspiracy, of course.

This policy placates at least two lobby groups in the UK— Jewish/Jew-Zionist (because it gets rid of Palestinian Arabs out of Gaza, which is being ethnically-cleansed so that Jews can populate it as part of “Israel”), and the Muslim lobby. Both.

What group is not benefited by it? Oh, yes, the white European people “formerly known as British”, but of course the Labour, Conservative, and other treacherous System bastards care nothing for us, or the future of the English/British people.

It’s almost funny— all the MPs (inc. Farage and his cabal), System talking-heads and scribblers etc, are horrified at the very idea that the migrant-invaders might be shot down in the Channel, yet they think it wonderful that WW2 Germans were, or that 21stC Russians might be. Both Germans and Russians would be a thousand times better than the current black/brown invaders.

Stop the migration invasion in any way necessary. It is an existential danger.

[“When I was arrested, Met Police officer Julia Bill specifically cited my use of the term ‘jewish supremacy’. Let that sink in. The charge that any criticism of ‘jewish supremacy’ is hatred of all jews ironically presumes that all jews are supremacists. Whether 60% or 98% of a group supports a supremacist ideology does not change the reality of an oppressive system. The only thing that percentage affects is the system’s potential to survive. In Britain, you can criticise White supremacy freely without fear of being sacked, defamed, or arrested. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has himself used the term ‘White supremacists’. Was he punished or arrested for it? Of course not. To make one ideology immune from criticism levied against all others is the essence of supremacy. This is not an academic point. It is even more profoundly sinister when this particular system underpinned the two-year Holocaust of Palestinians we have just witnessed. This immunity has fatal consequences. My case, Dr @EllenKriesels‘s, and others are the live test. The ‘israeli’ lobby is using this double standard to persecute doctors and pressure the British medical regulator (@gmcuk) to overturn independent tribunal rulings (@the_mpts). This is not about us. It’s about whether UK institutions will enforce a supremacist principle into law.”]

[“It’s less a question of ‘elites’. Elites of any variety simply do not go to Dubai anyway because it is widely recognised to be a very large brothel; a refuge for scammers, fraudsters and drug-dealing rappers; and a dumping ground for illicit cash in gaudy Sajwani tower blocks designed for mob bosses who boast about their Versace interiors.

But yes, large swathes of Muslims and black influencers — certainly not the ‘elites’ of their communities — do waste their money in Dubai to fund the genocidal colonial expansion of this vassal state to the Zionist project. And even they must now reflect on their choices. Going to Dubai on holiday will soon be as taboo among Muslims and black communities as going to the genocidal Zionist state itself.

But the last stalwarts of crass Dubai genocide tourism will be white working-class Britons, who have displayed over the past four decades a startling inability to care about anything, much less the industrial-scale imperial murder of Arabs and Africans. The UAE, or as I put it, Luton-on-the-Gulf, will continue attracting those for whom it is simply small-town Britain but with hotter weather. Any effective boycott of the UAE must much more aggressively pull in atomised, nihilistic, depoliticised audiences across all demographics, and the most depoliticised audience of all remains white working-class Britons.”]

I have to say that, were I the ruler of Dubai, I should have created a far better city-state than that ugly pastiche of Miami Beach and Monaco. The same goes for the other UAE emirates, and Qatar.

The weird thing, of course, about Muslim statelets such as the UAE and Qatar is that, on the one hand, they have the very latest technology, the latest and most expensive cars etc, but at the same time an underlying way of life which is feudal, mediaeval and, indeed, almost in the dark ages: Islam, and legal systems based on Islam.

The other odd thing about those Gulf statelets is that 90% of the population of most if not all of them is foreign, all of which foreigners are there short-term, in a few cases medium-term, trying to make and save money before they head home (as they have to do— they have no right to remain…).

Mini-states that take themselves too seriously are always open to ridicule, of course. I have never been to Monaco, but recall seeing a two or three-part series about the Principality, which has 510 acres, about the size (somewhat smaller) than Hyde Park (350 acres) and Kensington Gardens (265 acres) combined, and much smaller than New York’s Central Park (843 acres). The excessive respect (servility, indeed) shown by everyone there to its ruling prince, Albert, was very funny.

Not that there seemed to be anything terrible about this American-sounding fellow (the son, of course, of the American film actress, Grace Kelly), but it just is rather funny to see quite a bit of pomp and circumstance going on in this tiny semi-enclave not much bigger than Hyde Park; a Ruritanian feeling.

Pretty amazing, if anywhere near accurate. About 422 Reform MPs, 51 Greens, 49 LibDems, 44 SNP, 34 Lab, 14 Cons [etc].

That would be a stunning result, giving Reform a huge Commons majority of nearly a hundred MPs.

If that came to pass, you could pretty much knock out the Conservative Party completely. It would never recover. Labour probably much the same, though less clearly so, because the Conservative bases have been eroding for a long time despite, maybe even because of, the 14 years of (incompetent) Con Party government. Labour is still well-embedded in the trade unions, public services, and the ethnic minority “communities”.

Looks as though many of the actual “socialists” or play-socialists, have abandoned Labour for the Greens, just as a certain number of former Con voters have abandoned the Cons for the LibDems, and others for Reform UK.

Incidentally, if my present feeling is right about the Con vote declining to as low as 10% by 2028/2029 (partly because many of the very old people who are the Con mainstay will not be living by then, and partly because many will go either Reform or LibDem), then the Conservative Party might be left with only 1 MP, Labour about 30, the SNP, Greens, and LibDems 30-40 each, and Reform as many as 459 MPs out of 650.

I have been interested to see that, during the last few days, the number of individual visitors has increased very markedly. Several hundred each day, from about 20 countries, but with the majority of both visitors and hits (some people look at more than one blog post) coming from the USA and, after the USA, the UK.

There have been a few times in the past when high hundreds, even over a thousand, visitors visited in a single day, but not very many, if truth be known. I’m easy (“one human soul is a big audience“).

The future of Europe, and the future of the world

Our present civilization cannot continue to exist, still less evolve to a higher level, without a firm ethno-cultural foundation. In practice, that means a very significant proportion of white Northern European people in the world, and the world largely under the control of such people.

Angela Rayner, her careerism, and her hypocrisy on Palestine and Gaza etc

[“Here’s why I have less than no sympathy for Angela Rayner.

@DalloulAhmed, a Palestinian takeaway owner, was a constituent of hers. She’d met him several times, visited his shop and posed for pictures with him, emphasised her support for Palestinian freedom. She gave him a tour of Parliament. They repeatedly corresponded by text message.

Within weeks of the genocide, his mother, brother, sister-in-law, and two little nieces were murdered in an Israeli air strike. He was desperate to evacuate his wife and little daughter, only 4 months old, from Gaza. This little child was buried under rubble three times by Israeli attacks.

He emailed Angela Rayner twice to seek her help evacuating his family. She ignored him. He then turned up to a Labour fundraiser in January 2024, and stood up, clutching pictures of his dead mother, talking about his murdered family, asking for Angela’s support for a ceasefire. She knew exactly who this man was. He was then thrown out of the meeting and on to the street by security like he was trash. She did nothing, and simply said “Thank you, you’ve made your point.”

Just take a moment to absorb what was happening here. A Palestinian man she was friendly with, whose family had been slaughtered by a British-facilitated Israeli onslaught, whose pleas to evacuate his wife and daughter had been ignored by her, stood up holding photos of his murdered mother, pleading for her to take a stand against the violence slaughtering her family.

It gets worse. A few days later she was interviewed about the incident by Sky News’ @BethRigby, who framed it as an example of the sort of threats that politicians have to face.

Here is one utterly repulsive example of the dehumanisation of Palestinians. Imagine this was a Israeli man whose family had been killed on 7th October. If the same thing had happened, it would have caused a national scandal and ruined Angela Rayner’s career long before any stamp duty row.

Since this hideous episode, so many of Dalloul’s loved ones have been murdered by the Israeli government that their names fill three pages. Angela served as deputy prime minister in a government which continued to arm and facilitate this genocide.

I used to have huge respect for Angela Rayner. But she’s someone whose pursuit of power led her to make an accommodation with the worst people in the history of the Labour Party. The great moral test of our time was Israel’s genocide, and a belief that Palestinians are human beings of equal worth. Angela failed that test. Her political demise should be mourned by no one.“]

[Owen Jones]

Her political demise should be mourned by no-one“, writes faux-revolutionary socialist Owen Jones. Who is mourning it anyway? Anyone? I myself have scarcely stopped laughing! I especially like the fact that Angela Rayner’s salary will now be half of what it was, and that her expenses and perks will be much cut back. The newspapers say that the horrible bitch may even have to sell her latest taxpayer-funded holiday home.

Boo-hoo. She may even have to cut back on “vapes”, tattoos, and expensive new clothes (now that wealthy Labour donors are —supposedly— no longer paying for her clothes shopping).

Also, there is at least a sporting chance that Angela Rayner can be unseated at the next general election, either by Reform UK or by Corbyn’s new “real Labour” party, if it ever gets off the ground. Her share of the vote has declined steadily since 2017: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashton-under-Lyne_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The whole of Europe, including the UK, has to be cleared out.

Not only is Paris now far far worse than it was 54 years ago, in 1971, when I (then aged 14) lived for 3 weeks with a French couple in the 5th arrondisement, but worse even than it was during the German Occupation of 1940-44.

There has to be a massive chistka across, mainly, Western and Central Europe.

Well, many of the Jews that came to Palestine after 1945 were the sweepings of the ghettos, camps, and prisons of Europe. Naturally, they behaved as such degenerate and criminal elements were always likely to behave…

[“Ramon Airport, the occupation’s southern gateway, just took a direct hit from a Yemeni kamikaze drone. Enemy media confirms the strike came from Yemen, slamming into the passenger hall before the IOF sealed off the site, shut the airspace, and slapped on full censorship. Even their own journalists are asking why the sirens stayed silent, letting the aircraft cross in without warning. Ansar Allah has now proven once again it can reach deep into occupied territory, bypassing Israel’s sensors and hitting strategic civilian–military dual-use hubs. Every unanswered siren is another reminder that the so-called Iron Dome can’t stop what’s coming.“]

The first of many such landings, I expect.

Evil little demons. I hope that, sooner rather than later, they get what’s coming to them.

More evil demons. Hopefully they, their families and tribe will also get what’s coming to them.

Probably the first of many.

The hordes of barbarians arriving here are a millstone round the neck of the British people.

He did it as a deliberate act. Part-Jew traitor “Boris”-idiot is an agent of the Coudenhove-Kalergi conspiracy:

Indeed, but as I predicted, Reform itself is being prepared to become a System party, as the “old parties” fail. One sees it in the non-European candidates, and in the pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby posturing (especially from Tice, Reform’s deputy leader).

I was reminded of the old joke about a Napoleonic-era battle. The battle is raging back and forth. On a nearby hill, non-combatants are watching, including a group of Jews. One Jew is especially excited, and is jumping up and down, shouting “we’re winning!“. Another asks him, “why are you so excited?“, to which the first Jew answers, “because our side is winning!”, and the other responds “which side is our side?”. The first Jew then answers, “the side that is winning!“…

Look at the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel march in London last weekend. The organizers invited Reform UK’s Tice to attend. He accepted that invitation, and was there helping to carry the main banner, along with the “CAA” liar and perjurer Gideon Falter, the fat woman who is the current Israeli Ambassador in London, and the Chief Rabbi of the UK.

In short, the fix is in. They know that Reform is quite likely to form the next government. That being so, Reform’s leaders are being cultivated.

I still hope that Reform will destroy the existing System parties. Once Reform has done that, and once Reform fails to deal with the major problems of society, especially the migration invasion and resultant multikulti society, a real social-national upsurge can manifest.

The vast majority of immigrants coming to this country are, at best, parasites. Quite a few are engaged in various levels of criminal activity. A relatively small number are active terrorists or are terrorist support agents.

One wonders who constitute the other 28%. Don’t-knows? Know-nothings? If blacks and browns were asked the question (as if “Brits“), then that might explain much.

As usual, Goodwin “forgets” to mention the main actively anti-free-speech group in the UK— the Jewish lobby or Israel lobby

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14614247/Dutch-woman-PUNCHES-man-beating-donkey-Egyptian-tourist-site-chases-whip.html

An animal-loving Dutch vigilante who attacked a man she saw beating a donkey in Egypt is now facing a lawsuit.

Astonishing footage shows expat Joke Van der Post punching the animal’s handler before chasing him with a whip as he tries to flee.

In the heartbreaking video – which has since gone viral – the donkey kicks out in agony as it is repeatedly lashed while tethered to a wall on the outskirts of Cairo.

Appalled by the horrific cruelty, the 47-year-old runs at the man before pinning him against a wall and striking him several times shouting, ‘You think you’re f****** normal.’

As the man tries to run away Ms Van der Post, who manages a veterinary practice called the Good Karma Sanctuary, grabs a whip from another donkey handler and chases him off into the distance.

The man filed a police complaint accusing Ms Van der Post of assault and claiming appearing in the viral video has caused him ‘psychological harm’, local media reports.”

[Daily Mail]

Treatment of animals in Egypt is often very bad, and most of the people there are cowardly wastes of space.

It is interesting to note that not only do Europeans run all or almost all of the animal welfare hospitals etc in Egypt, but also most of the efforts devoted to helping the Egyptian children etc born with various handicaps. The locals (I was told when I was there for a few months in the 1990s) regard such accidents or incidents of birth as a curse from God, and so need not be addressed at all. Backward Islamic or quasi-Islamic beliefs.

It is also interesting to note that modern Egypt was run best under the European influence of c.1860-1952 and in particular the years between the First and Second World Wars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Egypt.

In Alexandria, that time is known as the International Period. Far more civilized than Alexandria as it now is.

The Egyptian in that Daily Mail report is typical. Willing to hurt a defenceless donkey, but running away when a European woman confronted him. Pity he was not himself whipped.

I could tell of a number of instances when I saw that Egyptian coward/bully mentality. There are exceptions, and some of the Egyptians are better than that, but I think a small minority.

Look at the pathetic Egyptian Army. As the old joke has it, the only time (in the past few thousand years) when the Egyptians won a military victory was in the second act of Aida.

Really, it has to be admitted that Africa generally, and including North Africa , should be under civilized European rule.

Reform UK, Labour, and the Runcorn and Helsby by-election

The most recent opinion poll about nationwide political sympathies:

Well, that poll (with notional LibDem vote around 12%, and Greens on 10%) would result in a Commons with 198 Lab MPs, 187 Reform, and 156 Con (51 Libdems, 27 SNP, 4 Greens). The only possible government on those numbers would be a Reform/Con arrangement of some sort, having a majority of 17, and a working majority slightly bigger. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

The polls are variable at present, but all tell the same story— Reform UK either the most popular party or a close second. Bearing in mind that Reform voters are said to be more motivated to actually vote than Lab or Con voters (and that fewer Lab voters vote by post, Con and Reform voters tending —so far— to be older and, by reason of that, less healthy), the real picture could well be even better for Reform.

I see the reality as being that at least a plurality of voters are absolutely sick of what Britain is becoming, and are therefore clutching at the Reform straw even though, in many cases, underwhelmed by both Reform and Farage. The voters who support Reform want to hit out at, and perhaps bury, both Lab and Con.

This should make the Runcorn and Helsby by-election even more interesting. The betting market (which I have found an unreliable guide to by-election results) has Reform as strongly odds-on favourite to win (about 1/3, with Labour around 5/2, and Conservatives around 8/1; there are 15 candidates in all). https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.241434500.

I think and have blogged that Reform will smash it, but I concede that there are a number of factors in play. The constituency has Runcorn town as main voter pool, but even that is over 90% white, so the George Galloway vehicle, Workers’ Party, will probably come in 4th or 5th.

Turnout may or may not be low; if it is, Reform will benefit, probably. I wonder how many former Labour voters will turn out to vote for a nominally “Labour” government that has cheated pensioners, is intent on cheating and bullying the sick, disabled and unemployed, and which is at the same time throwing money at “Ukraine” (the brutal Zionist dictatorship in Kiev) and foreign aid recipients. All that, and while also presiding over ever-worse migration invasion, and the consequent street crime now seen everywhere.

The “experts” are still saying that the by-election will be close between Reform and Labour, but Labour seems less credible with every passing day. No less than 700 migrant-invaders landed on the beaches of England yesterday alone!

The Conservative Party under the Nigerian woman is a busted flush. In any case, in 2024 the Cons only scored 16% in the Runcorn and Helsby constituency.

Any 2024 Conservative Party voters who want to stick it to Labour have no choice but to vote Reform, tactically.

This by-election will be a pure test of the popularity of both Starmer-stein’s fake “Labour” government and of Reform UK. Its importance is huge.

I once heard Ben Houchen on the radio. Quite impressive. In fact, more so than most “dirty democratic politicians“, as Hitler termed them. However, I have found in my life that, usually, the most impressive-seeming people are “all hat and no cattle“, in the Texan phrase.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, during an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson , the recording of which was published on the TCN (Tucker Carlson Network) website on February 9, said that Ukraine is an artificially created republic that appeared in 1922 during the formation of the USSR.

When forming the Soviet Union – this is already 1922 – the Bolsheviks began to form the USSR and created a Soviet Ukraine, which did not exist until now. At the same time, [Joseph] Stalin insisted that these republics that were being formed should be included as autonomous entities,” Putin said.

Russia wants to achieve a settlement in Ukraine through negotiations, the Russian leader said in an interview. He expressed confidence that both countries “sooner or later” will be able to reach an agreement. Putin said Ukraine refused to negotiate with Russia “on instructions from Washington,” adding that the decision was wrong and must now be corrected.

Putin said that Russia has not yet achieved its goals in Ukraine.

The West has already come to an understanding that it is impossible to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia; it will fight for its interests to the end. Vladimir Putin told American journalist Tucker Carlson about this.

Putin: The West fears a strong China more than a strong Russia because there are 150 million people in Russia, and one and a half billion in China, and the Chinese economy is developing by leaps and bounds – more than five percent a year, it was even more. But this is enough for China. Bismarck once said: the main thing is potentials. China’s potential is colossal; it is the first economy in the world today in terms of purchasing power parity and economic volume. They have already overtaken the United States for quite some time, and the pace is growing.

Russia is not interested in a war with Poland, Latvia or another country ; Moscow may consider sending troops in the event of an attack, Putin said. He emphasized that getting involved in a “global war” does not meet common sense.

All of those points can be found on this blog, in posts published over the past 2+ years.

There has not been such devastation, and deliberate devastation, since the Second World War.

I can think of a suitable cartoon to accompany that, but according to the police and CPS, and (after my recent magistrates’ court conviction) the Bench, that particular cartoon is both “antisemitic” and “grossly offensive” (because it is said to imply that Jews control the Press in the USA, UK etc), so I had better not publish it again…

Ukraine under the Jew Zelensky is a failed state, a fake state, and a gangster state, a brutal, shambolic and corrupt dictatorship.

What about the Jewish lobby fifth column embedded at the heart of government in the USA (and UK)?

I might find it hilarious that the USA is now at least notionally ruled by a demented old fellow who can scarcely remember his own name or what day of the week it is, were it not for the danger that his actions might trigger a nuclear war.

Good man” is debatable. After all, “no-one can rule guiltlessly” [Saint-Just], but Putin is certainly at least as good a man as those opposing him, both here and in Russia itself.

People usually want things to be black-and-white, simple. Not everything is black-and-white. Look at modern history. There were people, some people, in the SS and even, rather later, in the KGB and GRU, who meant well, were relatively honourable, and who might be described in the superficial sense as “good” people, and there were those in the USA and UK, and also in the internal opposition(s) to both National Socialist and Soviet socialist rule, who were rather “bad” people.

It seems to me —as far as I have read etc— that Israel is now quite centralized on Tel Aviv and its region, though the Jerusalem area has as many or more inhabitants. The economy is centred on that region. The Israeli state can absorb a certain amount of conflict in border areas (Gaza, the Golan Heights and Northern Israel, even the West Bank), so long as the central belt around Tel Aviv is still functioning.

The increasing capabilities of Hezbollah, especially what seems to be their fast-upgraded missile programme, threaten Tel Aviv and the surrounding region. The Israeli ruling circles are therefore probably contemplating a massive attack on southern Lebanon to destroy the Hezbollah infrastructure before missiles of real power rain down on Tel Aviv.

The Israelis are willing to take a hit in terms of international perception of Israel, a public relations hit, and also an economic hit, so long as that Hezbollah infrastructure can be at least badly damaged.

Were Hezbollah or other powers able to heavily damage Tel Aviv itself, the Israeli economy would tank, and the exodus (?) of dual-passport Jews from Israel —30,000+ since October 2023— would become a flood.

Civil servants are being told that looking at their phones or rolling their eyes could be signs of sexual or racial discrimination as part of training that has cost more than £160,000.

Government employees have been taught by private sector consultants to spot ‘microaggressions’ at specially run workshops since 2021.

Officials have been told to nod their heads as a way to improve inclusion. Feedback from civil servants that have undergone the training was said to be highly critical.

A decade later [after the 2014 NWO/ZOG coup in Kiev], the midwife of Maidan, a humiliated and defeated Nuland, speaks from Kiev.

Her accomplishments:

* Russia is stronger than ever since the breakup of the USSR, globally and nationally. Putin enjoys high approval ratings and Russia is more unified than ever.

* Crimea is still Russia and Sevastopol is not a triumphant new addition to the U.S. global military empire.

* Nuland literally f**ked the EU.

[not “literally“, surely, except maybe in one or two cases].

* Europe was forced to replace cheap Russian energy with expensive Russian energy, laundered through various middlemen. Entire industrial sectors have been gutted.

* 440,000 dead Ukrainians.

Add to that list the implosion of Ukraine not only as a state (failed state, fake state) but also as a nation and people.

Hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged men killed on the battlefield; as many or more, possibly millions, have fled to EU and other states. Millions of women and under-18 offspring have also relocated outside Ukraine. The population is not reproducing itself, and in fact its numbers are falling rapidly.

The industrial sector is almost flat. The agricultural sector is finding it hard to export. Electrical power supply is unreliable.

Meanwhile, despite various problems, Russia is flourishing.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Nuland]. Half-Jewish, incidentally.

Strategically, Russia’s overall position cannot be compared to that of Kiev-regime Ukraine, which only stays in existence by reason of aid from the EU and North America.

The fake “debate” continues in the msm, but above that facade of fakery the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan also continues unabated, flooding western and central Europe with non-whites.

If Matt Goodwin actually put forward solutions to the migration invasion etc, he would probably end up in court, as did I, in my case the victim of malicious complaint by an “entitled” tribe. Having said that, Goodwin is very pro-Israel, so maybe (like Douglas Murray) he can “offend” (non-Jews, anyway) without facing judicial sanction.

The 1970s NF had its rough edges, but most of what it predicted would happen in the UK has since come to pass. In terms of street violence, incidentally, the NF was far more sinned against than sinning, in my view.

You see the Aaronovitch type of argument all the time from the “politically correct”/”woke” rabble: “British people commit crimes, so any riff-raff off the boat who commit crimes should not be deported.” Or…”some British people are sex offenders, so we must not characterize the “British” Pakistani community as harbouring a large number of rape gangs targeting young (real British) girls, because that harms ‘diversity’.”

Und so weiter

Aaronovitch is the son of communist intellectual and economist Sam Aaronovitch,[2] and brother of actor Owen Aaronovitch and author and screenwriter Ben Aaronovitch. His parents were atheists whose “faith was Marxism“, according to Aaronovitch, and he is ethnically half Jewish and half Irish.” [Wikipedia].

Well, in the American phrase, “what goes around comes around”. By 2029, or 2034, Iran, other states around Israel, even Hezbollah, maybe even Hamas, will have far more sophisticated missiles and drones. I wonder what will happen then?

Those Israeli soldiers and their families may, in 5 or 10 years, be themselves “victims”, and will no doubt be able anyway to pose as such.

The gates of the Gaza Ghetto, in effect.

[a gate of the Warsaw Ghetto, c.1941]

Israel presents an image of national unity, usually. The deep rifts within its society are hidden from view much of the time. Having said that, the only Israeli prime minister to have been assassinated (Rabin) was killed not by an Arab but by a Jew, and one supposedly connected with the Shin Beth security org. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitzhak_Rabin#Assassination_and_aftermath.

The Jewish “human rights” lawyers in the UK have been remarkably quiet since Israeli forces started to kill or horribly wound tens of thousands of Gazan women and children; not to mention terrorizing the survivors, who are living in hunger and squalor.

Ingrained weakness.

Still, I suppose that someone (of any race or nation) who is involved in the mass slaughter of women and children is quite likely to face psychological disturbance.

Unscientific, of course, but I think that it still says something, even if popular support for Putin in the UK is half or a quarter of the figure above.

Putin may not be a “nice person” (are Sunak, Starmer, and Schwab?) but he is effective, most of the time. Sunak and Starmer are dull nobodies, really, for all their career “success” and/or money. As for Schwab, just evil; sinister.

…and yet the whole System mass media, all the fake “celebrities”, all the “antifa” dimwits, pretty much all the Labour Party membership etc still think that South Africa is better than it was in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s. They still think that thick-as-two-short planks Nelson Mandela was both saintly and incredibly intelligent (in fact, he was a would-be terrorist leader who turned to African revolution at the age of 42, and after having failed his law degree several times, and the only reason he was not an active terrorist leader is because he was so inept at conspiracy, and was arrested before he could start a race war against South African whites).

Few people in the West are aware of the true facts, or that those behind Mandela and his botched race-war terror strategy were Jews, including at least one formerly involved in the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing.

South Africa may have needed reform in the 1960-1990 period, but African “majority rule” was always going to be disastrous. It has been.

What the Israeli Jews are doing in Gaza is not, under any reasonable or fair assessment, or view, “self-defence”. The killing of tens of thousands, almost all civilians, half of them under 18, a quarter (approximately) under 12 years of age. The wounding of several times that number.

The Jew/Zionist lobby in the UK and elsewhere is, on the whole, supportive of the actions of the Israeli state. Their cries of “nothing to do with us, guv!” ring very hollow.

As for the recent “apology” from Sky News to the Jewish lobby and to some evil Israeli demagogue [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Danon; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Danon#Gaza_Strip], it just shows how weak the so-called “free msm” are when it comes to resisting the typical barrage of wheedling or angry demands from the Israeli andf/or Jewish lobby.

“They” always seek “apologies”. Any “apologies” to them are regarded by them as being equivalent to surrender, and humiliating surrender at that.

They will never get one from me.

Possibly interesting, but without detailed knowledge of the Israeli order of battle in the Gaza operation, meaningless. I have no such knowledge, so the intelligence noted is not useful to me.

The news broadcast is in Arabic and (judging by the device at bottom right) is from Al Jazeera.

Anything taken to an excess, to an absurd excess, is just out of concordance with the Universe and reality in the macro sense.

When I look at Elon Musk, or that odd little man Jeff Bezos, or Bill Gates, or (before he went up the chimney) Steve Jobs, or the myriad “Russian” (mostly Jew) “oligarchs”, my primary thought is “they have too much money“.

I do not mean that they have “too much money” relative to me (that is very easy!) or even in relation to most people, or most wealthy people (“wealthy” in a more ordinary sense); no, what I mean is that people on the Musk, Bezos, Gates level of wealth literally have too much money.

The ultra-wealthy have so much money that they do not know what to do with it, except get a team of people working on how to further increase the hoard of wealth that the ultra-wealthy have already.

In the end, all it becomes is a kind of Masque of the Red Death game or competition; whoever has the most beans, the highest figures on a computer screen, is the winner. A winner, someone who has won something and nothing. Ask Steve Jobs. Oh…you can’t…

Some of the ultra-wealthy are themselves casting around, trying to find something worthy to do with at least some of their vast wealth. Merely being rich is not enough, not when you are that rich. Several of such people (eg Musk) are in control of assets worth around USD $220 BILLION, i.e. two hundred and twenty thousand million! When you consider that a massive mega-yacht might cost USD $500 million or, at most (?), USD $1 billion (thus costing the buyer maybe less than half of one percent of his asset-value), you see both the problem and the consequent frustration.

As for smaller toys (houses, estates, cars etc) they are as nothing in comparison to the wealth some hold. Even hugely “overpriced” artworks the same.

Look at the competition among a handful of the ultra-wealthy to build their own rockets. An exercise in showing off toys, really, the aim being what? To send groups of tourists into orbit? How pointless.

To have “too much” wealth (without putting any particular figure on it) is like eating 100 pizzas a day, drinking 10 bottles of Chateau Margaux each day, or even drinking 10 gallons of water, and is dangerous for a person’s health; in the case of wealth, also dangerous for society.

“Tinker” types. Reading all those reports, it seems that most of the incarceration imposed was for offences other than the animal cruelty crimes.

Sentences for cruelty to animals are still ludicrously light in this country.

A sentence of 5 years or so really means release in about 2-3 years. Another defendant in the above case even got off with only a light “community penalty” despite having, inter alia, rammed a police car (read the reports, though not all of the reports agree exactly on the facts).

The penalties for offences of that sort (cruelty to animals) have to be revisited by Parliament, increased markedly, and the courts need to be firm in applying them.

All the same, most people in this country are kind to animals:

For those revellers, snow is fun. It is different for the press-ganged soldiers of the Kiev regime, dying in the snow and ice of the front-lines.

Russia will and must prevail in Ukraine.

Russia is advancing, and Ukraine is on the defensive – Austrian colonel.

Despite the military successes that Kiev constantly reports, Ukraine is now on the defensive, while Russia is actively advancing, Austrian Colonel Markus Reisner said in an interview with ZDF.

In his opinion, Moscow’s military successes are mainly due to the fact that it was able to significantly increase the production of ammunition. Now on the battlefield, the Russian side fires 10 thousand shells every day versus 2 thousand from the Ukrainian side.

Russia is trying to advance along the entire front, depleting Kiev’s already small reserves. “It could lead to a major breakthrough,” Reisner emphasized.

The colonel also expressed concerns about the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine. He recalled that Russia is a nuclear power: “And it is unknown what could happen if it is driven into a corner.” Only “historians in retrospect” will be able to assess whether sending new types of weapons to Kiev would be correct or not.

[ZDF (German TV) — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZDF].

The Zelensky regime is living dangerously. If any significant damage is done to the major historical buildings of Petersburg or Moscow, Kiev will be flattened.

Selling-off public assets such as council houses was and remains a disastrous policy.

Anything other than real social nationalism is a waste of time (and probably a fraud).

He did about two years as a gopher in American law firms before returning to the UK. He was then elected to the London Assembly and, later (2000), at age 27, to the House of Commons, as MP for Tottenham, a seat where only blacks need apply (in reality)— “bandit country”.

Lammy has now been an MP for nearly 24 years, and has made the most of it (financially) for himself, while accomplishing precisely nothing for the UK or his own constituents.

Lammy loves black people so much that he…married a white woman [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Green]…

Now Lammy is set fair to be appointed Secretary of State for Justice in a Starmer-led fake “Labour” Government after GE 2024. He is also a Privy Councillor.

Lammy knows that he has to kow-tow to Starmer and the Israel/Jewish lobby in order to keep his career going.

So there we have it— Britain 2024 in a nutshell: the triumph of ignorance, stupidity, and tick-box careerism.

Incidentally, looking at that Labour Party audience, most of the people there are almost all as old as those attending Conservative Party events. Mostly in their sixties and seventies. Both major System parties are dying. Most people want a real alternative, not this rigged pseudo-democratic false choice.

I see that the philosopher Roger Scruton has died.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2020/01/12/sir-roger-scruton-conservative-philosopher-wide-interests-lightning/

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7879737/As-philosopher-Sir-Roger-Scruton-dies-75-TOBY-YOUNG-pays-tribute-eminent-intellectual.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Scruton

I never met him, and rather disapproved of some —by no means all— of his views (as seen in the newspapers, mainly) and activities (e.g. foxhunting), but he was an important figure in his own field and in terms of socio-political life.

He was, arguably, better known in Central Europe than in the UK. I recall seeing a whole window full of his works, in Czech translation, in a Prague bookshop. That was in 1999, 11 years after I first saw the city (in 1988 it was still under socialist rule).

“Scruton published a rueful article in the Spectator magazine, lamenting the Maoist climate of intolerance sweeping through our institutions. ‘We in Britain are entering a dangerous social condition in which the direct expression of opinions that conflict — or merely seem to conflict — with a narrow set of orthodoxies is instantly punished by a band of self-appointed vigilantes,’ he wrote.” [Daily Mail].

Bravo!

Naturally, those who supported his work in trying to bring greater freedom to the former socialist countries East of the “Iron Curtain” are out in force. Here is a tweet by the Jewish historian, Anne Applebaum:

Sadly, her support for freedom in socialist Central and Eastern Europe in the 1970s and 1980s was not reflected in her behaviour in blocking me on Twitter a few years ago. I  had never tweeted to her, as far as I can recall, so I assume that I was blocked for purely political reasons. Not very “freedom-loving”…Her works about Stalinism are interesting (and a very important resource), though. I myself own a copy of her book, GULAG: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag:_A_History

https://epdf.pub/gulag-a-history74976bda855bfe907213efba5fb6b06345052.html

Scruton was at one time friendly with a couple of people I knew in South London. That would have been in the 1970s. He would visit on his bicycle (an Oxbridge affectation which must have been hazardous in South London even then); he was at that time sometimes at Goldsmiths’ College in New Cross and may have taught there on occasion, though his main base was Birkbeck College (University of London) in Bloomsbury.

Scruton apparently enjoyed talking philosophy with the people I knew, but he ditched them and cut off contact after one of them was reported upon by the trash press as being “far right”. He was afraid that the connection might damage his career, which was just starting to take off at the time.

Curious to read that, in 1974-76, when he was 30-32, Scruton read for the Bar, at the Inns of Court School of Law (which I myself attended in 1987-88). He was Called in 1978, at age 34, though he never practised. I wonder why he bothered to become a barrister; because the Bar was a —small-c— “conservative” profession? Maybe because being even nominally a barrister was putting two-fingers up to his modest origins in High Wycombe, and to the father who stopped speaking to him after he won a place at Cambridge? Was that also one reason why he took up foxhunting?

Scruton was certainly interested in money, setting up private companies etc. Again, perhaps a result of financial insecurity in his earlier life.

A mixed picture. Not unflawed, but a substantial figure.

Labour and the Jews

Charles James, author of a report which has been seen by The Daily Telegraph entitled “General Election Part Two: Why didn’t we win?”, wrote: “Many of us believe that the row about anti-Semitism has been stoked by the government of Israel and its helpers in the UK.”” [Daily Telegraph]

The country that hates trees

Sometimes it seems to me that English people hate trees. In fact, most do not, but every now and then you see newspaper reports of disputes about them, such as one seen a couple of years ago, where most of the people living in a street of surpassing ugliness somewhere in the North East wanted the only tree in the street chopped down. It was not even very tall or wild. Similarly, the neighbour-disputes about trees. In most cases, the trees are not in any way “dangerous” (an idee fixe in England— in, say, Germany, trees often grow close to houses, as indeed is the case in, say, Russia).

I attribute part of the blame to the “Thatcher’s children” types, the kind of pleb-Cons who, especially in certain kinds of neighbourhood, spend much time on “Do It Yourself” repairs and “improvements”, when not washing and valeting their prized cars. God forbid that their little gardens (probably tarmacked or gravelled in front and laid to lawn in back, with statutory tiny and pointless “water feature” as recommended by some TV “landscape” guru) should have hedges or trees that might even, at times, look slightly “untidy”.

Times such as this week, when high winds are expected, tend to bring out the anti-tree idiots, afraid that trees that have stood for decades or even centuries will be uprooted.

I think that it was Chekhov who wrote that “for some people, a tree is sacred”. Amen.

Cruelty to animals

I saw this: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/cruel-brothers-starved-horses-death-21268360 and it reminded me that the law is far too lenient in dealing with cruelty to animals.

The defendants in this case are “travellers” of some sort. I have little time for Priti Patel, but if she can screw down on such horrible riff-raff I shall applaud her.

Labour leadership

So Clive Lewis is out of the race before it even started. I cannot think why…(well, maybe I can…). Various factors.

Lewis, like Obama, is supposedly “black” by self-description, despite being, in reality, “mixed-race”, or in the language of the people, “a half-caste”:

I cannot imagine what degree of narcissism and low self-awareness Clive Lewis must have, to even imagine that he might be a suitable Labour leader and potential Prime Minister. Incredible.

À la recherche du temps perdu

I happened to see on a map the tiny street off the Rue de Rivoli where I stayed in a small hotel with my first wife in, I think, 1990: la Rue des Mauvais Garcons (Street of Bad Boys). No doubt my harsher critics will think that an apt street for me!

I see that the Hotel Rivoli, decent but very basic, is only £95 equivalent per night even now, despite its good and central location (our room had a balcony and overlooked the Rue de Rivoli; it was one of the corner rooms shown in the photo below). I think that they charged £18 or so in the money of 30 years ago.

Harry and the Royal Mulatta— latest

“TORMENTED Prince Harry has been left “heartbroken” after cutting ties with the royals – but Meghan Markle has warned: “It’s not working for me” [The Sun “newspaper”].

The Mulatta has the Southern Californian self-centredness. Actually, the Queen has only one thing in common with MM beyond basic biology— she prefers her dogs to her offspring!

Look at this!

Good grief! Hard to believe. Harry is to the Royal Mulatta what “Johnny” was to Fanny Cradock!

Cradock…mixed furious disdain with extreme tenderness towards her on- and off-screen partner, Johnnie, who became her third husband. Johnnie…was the TV ‘stooge’ who stood behind the chef, obeying her instructions and drinking wine while she cooked on her shows.” [The Guardian]

A typical tweet about that video, similar to many many other tweets:

Antarctic hit

A first for my blog: a hit from Antarctica! Someone in a frozen scientific research base? A penguin? Descendants of fugitives from the Reich, brought to Antarctica by submarine in 1945 and now living in a secret centre hundreds of feet below the surface?

Another French “blast from the past”

Les Rivieres Pourpres, a good film but one which would have been far better had half of the director’s cut not ended up being binned.

Labour Party

Looking at the 5 runners in the race, one can only shake one’s head. I cannot see many voters (let alone floating or swing voters) being impressed.

TV ads and soaps as propaganda

Looks like someone needs to read my blog!

Opinion poll

An opinion poll released this evening shows that Labour’s likely share of the popular vote has declined 4 points even since the General Election. Not exactly a shock.

Labour should have stood up to the Jewish/Zionists (the “Israel lobby”) and hit back hard on issues such as the way British people are tricked, bamboozled and exploited. Never give the lobby an inch. Oh, and stop shedding fake tears over the hugely overblown “holocaust” farrago. Apart from anything else, the Second World War (in which about 80 million died, about a tenth of whom were German) ended 75 years ago!

The opinion poll indicates that 16% of voters do not favour any System party.
