The patience of the Russian leadership with this increasingly-serious shadow-boxing with the Kiev regime must be wearing thin.

(ps. the “Ian” there is not me but another Ian).

I may not “support” “Tommy Robinson”, as such (because he is controlled or too-influenced by the Israel-lobby), but he has a point here, of course.

I hope so, and that that is not a smoke-and-mirrors job designed to keep massive non-European hordes in Europe.

In the present age, trains should be run by the State as a strategic part of the economy, and fares kept reasonably low. At present, in the UK, we are getting the worst of both worlds: high prices combined with poor services (often) and the taxpayers funding private profits.

Those ticket prices London-Wigan are just insane.

Labour ministers and “comms” drones imagine that winning the Makerfield by-election (assuming that they do) will effectively crush both Reform UK and Restore Britain. I doubt it, but even were that so, it will not crush the justified and growing anger of the British people (including, in coming years, those in Makerfield) at migration invasion, environmental collapse, falls in living standards (and all other standards) etc.

Incidentally, “GOTV” = “Get Out The Vote”. Labour is throwing everything at this by-election. Desperate.

As said…desperate…

A few drone strikes, however destructive, on Moscow or other cities, will not change the arithmetic in the overall battlefield space.

I see Russian tweets etc claiming capture of villages, small settlements etc; from the Ukrainian side, not even that. The claimed Ukrainian advances must be either over depopulated areas of farmland and woodland or, at least as likely, non-existent.

The elephant in the room, surely, is the fact that Putin and the Russian leadership are not using more than a few percent, maybe less than one percent, of their potential destructive power. Russia has 7,000 nuclear weapons.

Would seem to indicate, if typical, that Russia is losing only 1 soldier killed for every 15 Ukrainian soldiers.

[“Labour has no right to win Makerfield, by @bnhwalker.

If Labour wins in Makerfield it will have been down to one man: Andy Burnham. In the most recent local elections every one of the individual council wards in Makerfield went Reform’s way. Nigel Farage’s party secured 50 per cent of the vote compared to Labour’s 25 per cent. Labour has never done so badly in Wigan. Whatever the capacities of one candidate, Reform should be winning it. The Makerfield constituency polls put Andy Burnham ahead by between 5-12 points.”]

There are 650 constituencies in the UK and Northern Ireland. I do not believe that any Burnham Bounce will swing (even in 2026) more than 50 of them. In any case, once (if it happens) Burnham is “crowned” PM, he will be faced with the same issues as Starmer-stein. Will he have better answers, or outcomes? I very much doubt that.

By 2029, this country will be even angrier and/or more desperate.

[“People vote in extraordinary ways in by-elections. They’ll even vote tactically for a party they can’t stand if it achieves the goal of a bloody nose to the party they backed last time. Honestly the way Labour has flooded Makerfield and the shocking machinations of Simons & Burnham would have me moving from abstention to considering in the privacy of the ballot booth a way of holding my nose to deliver a bloody nose. And as an ex-Tory I’m prepared to give LDs or Labour a hearing, I’m much closer to them on a few things than any of the (very) right-wing parties, that speaks to my natural and growing Burnham antipathy. The Our Andy stuff has been insufferable even from a distance.”]

UK Government aggression towards Russia is veering into the territory of outright war. Supplying the Kiev regime with 150,000 drones (presumably funded by the British taxpayer, at that) is tantamount to the UK taking a very active and direct part in the war. Mad.

As said before, Britain has never had any substantial connection with Ukraine, not in the thousand years of Ukraine’s history as effectively part of Russia, and not in its mere 35 years as a corrupt and shambolic notionally independent state. None.

Now the anti-British “British” government is launching what amounts to a military campaign against Russia in order to support the corrupt and brutal Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev. People should be asking why…

Were I a resident of Kiev, I should be packing my bags. Frankly, if this continues, the same might be said of London.

Exactly.

Exactly.

As said, the absurd thing is that, if Labour wins the by-election, nothing in fact changes and, outside the Manchester area, I doubt that Burnham is much of a gamechanger electorally.

I just read the brief Iran-US agreement. It is 90% in Iran’s favour, if not 100%. After 60 days, fees chargeable by Iran to all other states’ shipping to ship through the Strait of Hormuz; Iran oil exports to start again; Iranian assets to be unfrozen worldwide; a USD $300 BILLION fund (payable presumably by the USA) for the reconstruction of Iran (after the American and Israeli bombing and missile attacks); an Iranian pledge not to develop nuclear weapons (a promise already in place before the war anyway).

The USA has learned a lesson. Do not let the Jews (whether in Israel or the USA itself) dictate your foreign policy. Do not let the tail wag the dog.

A strategic disaster for both the USA and Israel, and the fault for it lies with Netanyahu and Israel, and with Trump. A TV personality and speculative businessman does not a statesman nor a strategist make, in most cases.

F.O.! Hegseth, you idiot— and take your Jews and (now-demented) Trump with you.

Something that, as I have noticed this week, people across the political spectrum agree upon. A horrible crime even in a country of (now) often horrible crimes.

That case also makes it clear that children of any age should never be condemned to be adopted by gay men in performative “marriage” “cosplays” (same goes for crazed lesbian couples).

Our animal friends. It is good to see something natural and pure after so much human degeneracy.

All roads lead to Rome, but…yes.

…or Russian, for that matter.

(in fact, there was never a serious possibility of German forces invading the UK in or around 1940, and there is no possibility of Russia taking over the UK in 2026).

Apparently an AI fake.

[Update, later same day: some msm outlets are now saying it is genuine. If so, mad…].

Incidentally, that “Crewkerne Man” is none other than Joshua Bonehill, or Bonehill-Paine, who used to put himself forward, about a decade or so ago, as a coming sort-of “national socialist”-style “Fuhrer” of the UK.

Bonehill-Paine tried to organize anti-Jew marches and would-be semi-pogroms in Golders Green and Central London (I think that 6 or 7 idiots actually turned up).

Bonehill-Paine was then, after a number of both political and non-political criminal convictions, imprisoned for many months, over a year in fact. In prison, he turned, or was turned, or brainwashed (?), from “antisemitism” to Judaeo-philia.

“Bonehill-Paine first questioned his antisemitic views during his second year in prison, after reading the Bible, and enrolled on a deradicalisation course via his probation officer.[4]” [Wikipedia]

Q.E.D.

Now, recently filmed looking 30+ years older than he did only a decade ago, he is apparently a supporter of the washed-up “Conservative” Party, is ludicrously pro-Jew and pro-Israel, and is even promoted by Israeli media outlets (as seen on his Twitter/X banner).

Very very strange.

Unbelievable.

Mirabile dictu! I actually agree with Ed Davey on something…

Incredible that a supposed “top businesswoman” (Deborah Meaden) can be so dim; there again, it is a common fallacy that the very wealthy (even those who inherited riches) must somehow be highly intelligent, and very knowledgeable. Often, not so.

As for multikulti “Conservative” drone Fraser Nelson, I have written about him on the blog in the past. Nothing he writes is worth reading.

The very terminology is outdated. “Working class” is almost as passé as what Ernest Bevin once called “the jolly old proletariat“.

As noted on the blog for several years, drones have changed the face of warfare, especially infantry warfare. This is only the start.

In the end, Burnham will be same-old, even if he runs Starmer out of town.

At the 2024 General Election, and in very rough figures, for every 20 eligible voters 8 did not vote at all; 4 out of the 20 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.

Starmer-Labour, as I blogged 2 years ago, only had the active electoral support of a third of those that actually voted in 2024, and a mere fifth of all of those eligible to vote.

Now? About half of the 2024 figures.

Opinion polling suggests that Labour, even under Burnham, would be the choice of only around 26% of voters were there a GE any time soon.

By 2029, Burnham-Labour, if Burnham does take over, will probably be running in the polls at around 20% at best. Will Labour try to change the rules, as they are presently doing in Manchester re. the mayoral by-election?

There is no “Parliamentary road” for us, but elections may yet be a peripheral part of the way forward.

Our animal friends.

Yes, foxes kill chickens, such is their nature, so just ensure your chickens etc are protected, that’s all. Good fences make good neighbours.

A thought out of season

I was just thinking about the Henry Nowak matter. I myself live only about 20 miles from that part of Southampton, though in a very different semi-rural area.

I was also thinking about the Belfast protests or small riots.

The Southampton protests seen on TV and online seem to have involved 50-100 people, I doubt many more. I suspect that either a high minority, or a majority, of people generally are angry or at least concerned by wider aspects of the Henry Nowak case, also the wider aspects of the appalling savagery of the Belfast incident, as well as the incidents themselves, yet all we can see, on the surface, talking about Southampton, is 50 or 100 people (did the crowd ever amount to as many as 150?) confronting and —pointlessly— taunting a police contingent which also seems to have been in the dozens or maybe 100-150 in number.

Southampton itself has a population of about a quarter of a million people. You cannot judge the public mood by the few willing to get involved in street stand-offs (I do not think we can call them “battles”), whether in Southampton, Belfast, or anywhere else. You cannot say that, just because only a couple of hundred people turn out for a street protest in a city with 250,000 inhabitants, that that represents an otherwise-quiescent public. Not at all.

People are getting very apprehensive/concerned/angry about the present migration invasion and its consequences.

Thus making Labour strong favourite to win the by-election. On the surface, bad news, in that it strengthens Labour, whose national vote (however stupidly) may rise if Burnham takes over from Starmer-stein.

On the other hand, looking at the bigger picture, it means that well over a third of the people —37%— of that Makerfield area (a traditional Labour area) are now thinking in terms of nationalist politics, though not so many thinking yet in terms of social nationalism; more than are thinking of voting Labour, anyway —only 35%.

The direction of travel is toward national and even social-national politics, and away from the traditional System parties.

In any case, voting “democracy” is only part of the story. All roads lead to Rome, and only white Europeans should be allowed to vote in this country.

See also:

Has Parliamentary “Democracy” (as we have known it until now) Had Its Day in the UK?

Look at the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and, indeed, post-Soviet Russia. Dozens if not hundreds of ethnic groups and languages. Kept together by the knut, one way or another. To the extent that Russia has “democracy”, it is because the Russians constitute the large majority.

USA? Well, until the Second World War, the USA was large-majority white European, indeed —at one time just after the First World War— about 90% white European, albeit with a number of minority European cultures (and also a strong Jewish element in a few cities, but mainly in New York). Now, whites are just about the minority, maybe 48%, and look at how dictatorial the USA has already become.

UK? You decide…

Seems that the police in the county have appealed for information as to the identity of the nasty person who killed a seagull in St. Ives today. It may or may not be the person identified in the above tweet. The sweatshirt certainly looks very distinctive.

A silly little man, a Labourite political careerist, who had no background at all in defence until appointed by Starmer-stein. Ludicrously pro-“Ukraine” (Kiev regime), too. Incidentally, Healey has always been a member of Labour Friends of Israel. What a surprise…

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

Very true, though a few of the examples cited are ill-judged. For example, that Linehan slug joined in several times with the Jewish-lobby attacks on me after I was both wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016. Linehan is a complete tool of the Israel/Jew lobby, a nasty person through and through.

Like others (e.g. Allison Pearson, Toby Young etc), Linehan pretends to be for “free speech”, but in reality favours the “cancellation” and censorship of whomsoever is hated by the Jewish lobby.

Of course, both Linehan and Allison Pearson are within the msm milieu, so their incomes (I presume that Linehan still has an income of some sort) are dependent on not being targeted by the Jewish lobby; dimwitted Allison Pearson has even made common cause with the malicious liars and perjurers of the so-called Campaign Against Antisemitism”, the main activity of which is to whine and demand for less “free speech”.

Talking point

Saw that the following blog post from over 9 years ago, so one of the first, has had hits. I can still stand by it:

Aspects of the New Society

More tweets

[“The government said the Online Safety Act was about protecting children. We were called conspiracy theorists for saying it wasn’t!

Well er … Ofcom is writing to platforms about “crisis situations”, civil unrest and enhanced moderation measures. (Blocking posts they don’t like)

Children aren’t mentioned once. NOT ONCE.

The problem isn’t removing genuine incitement to violence. The real problem is that unelected regulators will pressure platforms to decide what millions of ADULTS can and cannot see whenever a “crisis” is declared.

many platforms will remove perfectly lawful content rather than risk the punishment of Ofcom.

Read the letter for yourself. Link in the thread.]”

The cartoon below was about that sort of situation in the USA, but fits perfectly with the repression of online freedom in the UK:

[“Bloody hell, I’ve been digging more into the government definition of ‘Crisis’ a bit more So… an unelected regulator is now operating within government where the meaning of “crisis” has become very stretched.

The Cabinet Office Amber Book says an emergency under the Civil Contingencies Act covers serious damage to human welfare, the environment or UK security. (fair enough) But then it has added … “For the purposes of this guidance, the terms emergency and crisis are used interchangeably.”… INTERCHANGEABLY?

It also says an emergency/crisis can include situations that have not yet been harmful but have the potential to be (they do not define ‘harmful’ This guidance has not been voted for or debated So let me explain why thats so important. it means that almost any situation the government believes could become a problem can now be treated as a ‘crisis’.

And under that broad language, Ofcom has been able to write to platforms about civil unrest, crisis situations and how they will need to beef up moderation, it isnt just about removing illegal content.

Anything could become a “crisis”, no one voted for the widening of the definition and no one had the opportunity to, because thats how government by guidance works…. hoping you won’t even notice.“]

The “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic was the template.

[“Oh lookie here…. And now the pincer movement. The government wants …

A NATIONAL COUNTER DISINFORMATION CENTRE!

The foreign affairs committee says it’s about protecting against foreign interference (sensible) But …

the recommendations include cross-government coordination and closer working with private organisations and expanded powers to tackle ‘harmful’ narratives.

Who decides what counts as “disinformation”? Well erm … government regulators and approved experts will decide which narratives are acceptable.

The greatest threat to democracy is not the public discourse. It’s the state deciding what discourse is permitted.

Read my book!“]

The BBC has led the way, with a “BBC Verification” department which is itself actually just a System disinformation-broadcasting department.

Late tweets

Translates to a Commons with about 311 Reform UK MPs (about 15 short of an overall majority), 85 Cons (very weak official Opposition), 83 Greens, 67 LibDems, 45 SNP, 32 Labour [etc].

Those figures would mean that about 370 current Labour MPs would lose their seats, including Starmer and, notionally, any Labour MP at Makerfield.

31 current Conservative Party MPs would also lose their seats.

I think that the polling organizations are going to have to place Restore on the board, because the absence of Restore obviously skews the suggested results in terms of seats notionally won at the next GE.

To my mind, with the present System people in place, almost any money spent on defence is wasted, much of the background policy being predicated on the nation that Russia wants to or even intends to invade Eastern or Central Europe, or even Western Europe, and maybe even the UK. It’s all nonsense.

This country should not be wasting money on supporting “Ukraine” (the corrupt, brutal, and shambolic Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian thug regime in Kiev); neither should any money at all be spent on assisting the vicious Israeli regime.

As for those political parasites and chancers such as Daniel Hannan, suggesting that both State pension benefits such as the Triple Lock, and disability benefits for British people, should be slashed and the monies diverted to “defence”, forget it! Crazy, as well as being political suicide for any party entertaining it.

A million migrant-invaders are coming into the UK every year; others are being born here… Our country is quite rapidly now falling to pieces by reason, mainly, of migration invasion. Stop that, rather than building fantasy armies and navies to be deployed in fantasy scenarios about fighting Russia (and its 7,000 nuclear weapons).

On the contrary, Britain should leave NATO and cultivate good relations with Russia, thus ensuring cheap energy for our industries and domestic consumers, and also giving the UK a huge and valuable market in Russia, a market currently closed to the EU states by reason of their mad anti-Russia sanctions regime. It could all be ours.

…and a member, of course, of Labour Friends of Israel.

Like most former officers who become MPs, Jarvis has proven to be a big disappointment in every way (cf. Johnny Mercer— remember him?).

Ah, another resignation. Al Carns looks good on paper (i.e. his background), but I reserve “judgment” (assessment) until more is known.

Seems to be pro the Kiev regime, so I am not too hopeful, but we shall see.

Wall. Squad. End.

Again more villages or hamlets. Russia needs a gamechanger in Ukraine.

A proper social-national government would change course, radically.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week another narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul— 4/10, as against Rentoul’s 3/10.

I knew the answers to questions 1, 4, 7, and 9. I could not remember the answer to question 6, did not think long enough to get question 3, and had no idea about the most of the others; question 5 has several possible answers (though one stands out, I now know); the instrument I guessed was one of the (4 or 5) musical instruments Marie Antoinette played, though not the one wanted by the quizmaster, it seems, so I have not awarded myself that one.

A few extra thoughts about Mandelson, Epstein, and the whole Jew-lobby scandal at and around Starmer-stein’s government

First thought: saw Gordon Brown on TV news lamenting about it all, and excoriating Mandelson. Well, OK, but you, Brown, you loony and hypocrite, knew all about his general sleaziness, his sexual proclivities, his activities in London youth clubs etc, going back as far as the 1970s, and his willingness to cheat and scheme to make money, as with his mortgage and loan and property activities in the late 1990s, which activities in fact attracted the attention of the police at the time, until their investigation was interfered with, and they were warned off.

Second thought: how useless is MI5, that they seem either to have been unaware of the Mandelson and Epstein connection or, far more likely, were unwilling to rock the political boat? Same goes for SIS, incidentally.

Third thought: so Jews conspired to make money illicitly? Quelle surprise… oh, no, wait…

Amazing. It took humanity unknown ages, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to come up with that. Now it is known, it must not be forgotten.

The Tide is Coming In: Reflections on the Possible End of Our Present Civilization and What Might Follow

As I blogged years ago, about 5 years ago, Starmer (to my then slight surprise) turned out to be utterly clueless.

Not many lawyers in the modern era are much good as politicians, though I suppose one could reference Lenin. Or Castro [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Castro#Career_in_law_and_politics:_1950%E2%80%931952]. A few others too, maybe.

Some might include Mandela, but he was never really a lawyer, just a “gopher” in a law firm for a while, until awarded a law degree on the nod while a celebrity prisoner in the 1980s, and aged about 70. He had failed his law degree three times in the late 1940s, when about 30 years old.

As for Starmer-stein, Matt Goodwin and Reform UK must be loving this heady mixture of cluelessness and corruption in the present fake “Labour” government. Only 17 days until the Gorton and Denton by-election.

Many will later turn to social national politics.

I blogged previously that all three leading contenders might score around 30%, leading to a very close result. Were Labour to win by a small margin, that would still be a negative sign, because Labour scored 50.8% there only last year.

Anti-Reform tactical voters will have to decide which party is more likely to be able to defeat Reform. Either Labour or the Greens. Polls presently put Labour ahead of the Greens, but that may not reflect feeling among those actually going to vote.

Reform is still slightly ahead in the opinion polling at Gorton and Denton, but it is hard to say where the voters will be by 26 February, the polling day. I begin to think that the Labour vote might collapse, by reason of abstention as much as via defection. That might or not boost the Green vote, but would probably lead to a Reform triumph.

I blogged about Carns yesterday. Someone who would go down well with the public, on first showing, and because of his background, but who is an unknown quantity ideologically.

Ex-officers usually disappoint as MPs. Examples from recent years would include Dan Jarvis and Johnny Mercer.

Well, we shall see.

Trump is all over the place, from one day to the next.

The very slow but inexorable advance continues along much of the overall front. There are no Kiev-regime advances, and have not been for at least a year or so.

[“I was born in Woking, Surrey, less than a mile from the site of the Shah Jahan mosque, the first built in Britain. Growing up in Woking my friends and I soon learnt that the Pakistani community acted differently to us. They operated like a clan, like a gang. If you crossed one, you would find a dozen brothers and cousins waiting for you outside the school gates. As English people who had small, quite independent families, this clan loyalty and mindset was nearly impossible to contend with. ‘Turn the other cheek’ my mother used to say. Never easy though when you’ve seen your friend have his teeth kicked in by a mob for a minor instance of perceived disrespect. We used to play pool at the Planets in Woking town centre after school, however it wasn’t long before this was taken over by the Pakistani clans from Maybury. They’d pelt us with pool balls and intimidate us to leave. It was their territory now. So spare me your victimhood @sajidjavid.”]

I blogged, years ago, about the attack in New Zealand carried out by Brenton Tarrant in 2019. In that blog post, I mentioned, in passing, that mosque in Woking (which you can see from the train):

The New Zealand Attack and Related Matters

Ah. Just what I wondered about earlier in the day.

Starmer-stein is a real office-politics tiger, isn’t he? Useless at anything else.

I see many tweets and other online comments about the supposed “Ukrainian rent boys”, their alleged connection with Starmer-stein, and their delayed trials. I wonder what might be the truth about all that…

…and the same [kind of] police pretend to be terribly shocked when tasked with bothering social-national bloggers such as myself, or satirical singers such as Alison Chabloz, or public speakers such as Jez Turner (etc).

One begins to wonder whether there is much point in even having a police force of the kind the UK now has. Like so many long-established UK institutions (Monarchy, the Bar, the Church of England, the ancient universities, SIS, MI5, Parliament, the NHS etc), the police need “a revaluation of all values“.

Late tweets

It’s almost as if Adolf Hitler and others were right after all…

As for sleazy Alastair Campbell, what his tweet tells me is that he, and all the other Labourite drones, are getting very desperate. As if it really matters that Reform in Gorton and Denton may have sent out a few leaflets without the correct labelling.

The Jew Mandelson “very greedy” and “always looking for money“? Well, who would have thought it?

Maybe I should relocate to Hungary, which at least will not be directly targeted in any nuclear exchange. I rather liked the lakeside suite I had in 2001, with its direct access to the gardens and lake (Balaton). I swam in the lake, and enjoyed an evening palinka (or two).

[“Iran has prepared a large-scale plan to counter the US armed forces and pressure on the global economy. According to the Tasnim agency affiliated with the IRGC, within a few hours after a possible US attack, Iran will launch massive strikes with ballistic missiles and drones on US military facilities throughout the region, expanding the conflict zone beyond its borders.

Tehran also relies on its cyberwar capabilities – attacks on US logistics, disruptions in the command and control system, and creating chaos among countries hosting American forces. The IRGC’s naval forces have been practicing the “swarm” tactic – attacks by small boats equipped with missiles and torpedoes to overload and suppress large warships. Blocking the Strait of Hormuz could lead to an increase in oil prices above $200 per barrel, which would cause serious damage to the global economy and increase pressure on Washington.

Hossein Shariatmadari stated that Iran could block the passage of American, French, British, and German ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s strategic goal is to create an unstable multi-front confrontation for the US, forcing American forces to simultaneously face pressure in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and potentially in Syria, while protecting its allies in the Persian Gulf and ensuring the safety of sea routes.“]

Were I the Iranian leadership, I should think that all Iran’s missiles should be targeted on Israel, focussing on a few main targets— Dimona, Ben-Gurion Airport, central Tel Aviv and affluent areas in that region, such as Ra’anana and Herzliya.

Still, it’s their party…

Runcorn and Helsby by-election

Well, the by-election is to be held the day after tomorrow, Thursday 1 May 2025. The chance for the voters of that area to make British political history. At present, Reform and Labour are neck-and-neck, according to the opinion polls. I have already blogged that I think that Reform can smash it, but that depends on all Reform-leaning voters getting out and voting, if they have not already done so by postal ballot. As for 2024 General Election Con voters, the Conservative Party candidate has no chance at all at the by-election (and got only 16% last year); so to stick it to Labour, vote Reform.

Any 2024 Labour voters wanting to send a message to Starmer-stein can either vote Reform (or, failing that, at least for some other party that is standing a candidate) or simply abstain.

If Reform can win the by-election, then both Labour and Con are doomed; if Labour manage to hang on, that too says that Labour is doomed, because Runcorn and Helsby was the 16th most-Labour seat as recently as July last year. A mere Labour win, unconvincing, would say that most of the country hates Starmer-stein and his fake Labour-label.

Tweets seen

I agree with tweeter “@CambrayXX”. Who are the Labour Party supporters in these polls? I think that the answer is that the UK is now about 20% non-white. Labour Party support is running at about 25%. Most blacks and browns (and other non-Brits) vote Labour.

By my reckoning, and using Electoral Calculus, those figures would give Reform 271 MPs, Labour 176, LibDems 69, Cons 68. Enough of the surviving Con MPs would defect to Reform, or make an accommodation, to give Reform a working majority.

Hard to understand why any white English/Welsh/Scottish person would vote Labour-label now. The policies are indistinguishable from those pursued by “Conservatives” David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne from 2010-2015.

I think that, especially in the North of England, there are still people around who support Labour in the same manner as they do their local football team— unthinkingly, and because their grandparents did; and maybe they have not noticed that Starmer-stein’s Labour-label of 2025 is just not the same party Labour was in 1975, or 1965, or 1945. It has become a different party with a similar label.

The same or similar is true of many unthinking “Conservative” voters in the more southerly parts of the UK.

Who would vote for that Labour-label drone? Dishonest and useless. A local council “grifter”.

Seems that the Labour brand, so to speak, is being trashed not mainly by the drunken behaviour of thuggish ex-MP, Mike Amesbury, but more by Starmer-stein and his rabble of a fake Labour Cabinet. That woman in the doorway is going to vote not for Reform but for the Greens, as she finally said.

What a disappointment Dan Jarvis has been. I had thought that, as an ex-officer, and with a varied life-background, he would be better as an MP than he has been. Seems to be very pro the Jewish/Israel lobby, for one thing.

Actually, ex-officers usually are disappointing, not infrequently useless, both as MPs and, especially, as ministers (cf. Johnny Mercer, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, Ben Wallace etc).

[“Two 13 year old girls were plied with alcohol and raped by three Syrian men outside a school in the west of Norway. The men posted the rapes to Snapchat before they left the girls to suffocate on their own vomit (luckily no lives were lost). One of the rapist says his life is difficult now because everyone calls him a rapist….”]

Wall. Squad. End.

The Vikings regarded rape as a far worse crime than murder, and punished it accordingly.

The reporter was notably scruffy and impudent, but his questions were very relevant. Britain has paid out for over 500 surveillance flights in order to help the military efforts and war crimes of the Israeli Jews. That is, apart from anything else, money we need here.

Three useless pointless System parties, and Reform UK, which is semi-System (at the top) but not perceived by people as being as weak and useless as the others. Hitler and Lenin made sure that their parties projected strength. Amid weak large parties, a coherent and disciplined small party can achieve victory. Reform is not that, but might pave the way.

That slug wants to put migrant-invaders into council and private rentals, when British people should have those.

Quite, except that it is “by-election”, not “bi election“, or is that a deliberate and subtle (?) poke at Starmer-stein?

Good. Then Russia can seize all Ukraine east of the Dnieper. That is what should happen, and probably will happen.

The USA should become at least semi-isolationist.

Is the chicken called Starmer-stein?

The Kiev regime is pulling back; Russian forces are advancing.

Diary Blog, 10 January 2022, with more reminiscences about early contemporaries

“An obscure company has handed more than £340,000 to three senior Labour figures.

Analysis of political funding has revealed that MPM Connect Ltd has been the third-biggest donor to MPs since the general election.

It has given £183,317 to shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper, £100,000 to former South Yorkshire mayor Dan Jarvis and £60,000 to health spokesman Wes Streeting.“

Simon Pegg. Actor, apparently. I had not heard of him and, looking at him, have never seen him on TV either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Pegg.

Not that I disagree with him about Sunak’s “study maths until age 18” nonsense. The most important thing in that regard is to drill very basic maths (multiplication, subtraction, division) into pupils aged 7 or so. I constantly meet young and not so young cashiers at Waitrose who literally cannot work out how many lottery tickets are necessary for X-number of lines at Y-number per ticket. Some have to use a calculator!

Of course, “@TheFreds” are quite right: changing the colour of the deck chairs on the Titanic changes nothing but the scenery.

More lies from “Jack Monroe”

https://twitter.com/hrbooth20/status/1612767363476094976?s=20&t=Ep2-SS_P2vBg0wpKF3AL9Q

Serious pathological/psychological condition, I think.

I posed the question weeks, and I think even months, ago as to whether “Jack Monroe” sometimes makes up things and rolls out a pack of lies almost daring people to accuse her of lying, as in (to take a few examples only) that she was “on the game” (prostitution) in Essex (by reason of impecuniosity), that she attended the Grenfell Tower fire (60+ miles from where she lives), was “waved through the police cordon” (oh yes, the police would really allow a stray interfering rubbernecker to go through…) and even had plans of the building (why would she? How could she?).

The “Bootstrap Cook” said that she was so poor that she had to sell her small son’s toy dinosaur, that she had to take out lightbulbs in order not to waste electricity, and that she had to boil soap to make shower gel (which does not even stack up logically, when 90p shower gel lasts for 1-3 weeks with daily use, and when boiling soap costs money in itself; and why not just use the soap instead of trying to make gel out of it?). Ludicrous.

On several occasions, I have been certain in my own mind that her lies must amount to her thinking “surely the sad bastards won’t buy this one?!“, and then they (those who defend her to the marrow) do buy whatever absolute crap she comes out with at any given moment; while also (631 utter mugs as of today) each sending her between £3.50 and £44 a month!

In other words, at times she is certainly, in the well-known phrase, “having a laugh”, a laugh at the expense of the mugs subsidizing her and the others promoting her, the latter including Nigella Lawson, at least a couple of Labour MPs, and of course the media rats from the Guardian, Observer, BBC and Channel 4.

I think that “Jack Monroe” lies mainly because she enjoys inventing a fake or 90% fake narrative, and because she enjoys making absolute mugs out of those who not only defend her as a supposed —if risible— “champion of the poor” but who also send money to her!

She herself has said recently that her basic lifestyle, inc. rent, utilities, food, adds up to about £4,000 a month. The 631 utter mugs subsidizing her are anyway sending more than that (I am guessing about £6,000 but it may be more) each month.

I have no idea who that particular mug is, nor whether his/her problem is a mental illness or just plain everyday stupidity, but imagine taking money off someone like that on the false promise/threat that Con Party MP, Lee Anderson, was going to be sued for stating, entirely truthfully, something along the lines of the assertion that “Jack Monroe” is basically a fraud (at very least, a “grifter”) “living off the backs of the poor“, which is exactly what she is and does.

It is obvious that “Jack Monroe” is not going to sue Lee Anderson and/or Martin Daubney, though she has hinted at “things going on behind the scenes etc”.

Rubbish. Technically, she has 3-4 months left before the one-year limitation applies, but Lee Anderson has apparently not even received any letter before action.

It’s another “Jack Monroe” lie, in other words.

I think that “Jack Monroe” has one main intent, which is to be the centre of attention. Nothing else. I believe, rightly or wrongly, that even the money she gets from mugs etc. is very secondary to that central narcissism.

Incidentally, the “media folk” are still promoting her— there are a couple of articles even today in the Metro newspaper, giving “tips” and a recipe, and no mention of the scandal(s).

Afternoon music

[Ava Gardner in Pandora and the Flying Dutchman]

Strange to see: I was just reading about Ava Gardner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ava_Gardner] and saw that she died in 1990, aged 67, at at her home in Ennismore Gardens, Kensington (London), near Kensington Gardens, where she had lived since 1968. I never knew. Had I thought of it at all, I probably would have assumed that she lived in either California or New York City.

I have only been to that exact place once, I think; in the very early 1980s, with someone escorting the then Metropolitan of Kiev (a kind of Russian Orthodox archbishop, the second-highest prelate of that church) who was then visiting London. The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Dormition is at the end of a kind of hidden-away cul de sac there. We dropped him there, and were invited in (no-one else was around, as far as I can recall). The Metropolitan kindly gave me a bottle of Moskovskaya vodka.

In other words, only 1 person out of every 235 is on the side of “Jack Monroe” and her tweet.

Most supporters of the “Bootstrap Cook” effectively say, on the larger scale, “let’s bin the Tories. Once ‘Labour’ are in government, everything will be fine, or start to be fine“…

Does anyone with any sense actually believe that? The migration-invasion (both across the Channel and otherwise) will continue unchanged in numbers, and Rachel Reeves and her fellow Labour Friends of Israel MPs will be even harder on the unemployed, disabled etc than the fake “Conservatives” have been— she said so expressly.

In a binary political system, and one where both main System parties are really almost identical, you cannot change things very much by squashing one party at some election or other, because the other one is thereby strengthened, and the “Deep State” policies continue largely unchanged.

That Tom Doorley person is an Irish restaurant critic, who has been oddly biased in favour of the “Bootstrap Cook” for some time; see also https://www.tomdoorley.com/about.

Very true, though I doubt an accurate quotation. Or am I just too nice? I see various journalists tweeting that.

So much for people needing a degree. She did not have one, so (like Iain Dunce Duncan Smith and others), she just pretended to have one: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebekah_Brooks#Early_life.

Ha. Well, there it is. For once I have to agree with “The Harry Formerly Known as Prince”!

A “counter-terrorism strategy“? Isn’t that rather similar to what, in more honest times, was just called a “police state”? See, for example: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/05/30/one-mans-extremism-is-another-mans-struggle-for-liberty-and-justice/.
