Looking at the video clip, I was wondering how long ago it has been since Mustafa, Mohammed, or Ahmed (or should that be Ali Baba?) was landed from a rubber boat on a beach in Sussex or Kent, and became an “asylum-seeker”?

Don't kid yourself. There's more to being British than owning a piece of paper and if you can't see that by now, its over for you.
Actually, the first tweeter above is wrong even in his statistics. The “white” bloc is only about 85%, and that includes Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. In England, white people (you know— “the people formerly known as English”) are only about 80% of the population now. By 2050 or so? Probably only 50%; possibly 40%.
The British (real British, real English) are not reproducing, but the non-whites (immigrants and/or migrant-invaders and/or the descendants of earlier waves of migrants) certainly are. Indeed, the Muslims especially are certain that they are going to conquer Europe and particularly Britain by simply breeding us out of house and home.
Look at the Government benefits website. There are rates given for those who have children in polygamous (i.e. Muslim) marriages. We are literally paying the invaders to outbreed us and to replace us.
The contemporary English may like to pose as “Lions” and “Lionesses” in various sporting pleb-fests, but will not raise a hand to defend their own and their descendants’ racial and cultural future. Pathetic.

Abuse of prisoners is appalling, seems to have happened on the Ukrainian side as well and, in the instant case, appears to have been perpetrated by Chechens fighting on the Russian side, not by the Russians themselves. That of course would not be any excuse. Russia should not be using those backward people.
A reminder why (at least, largely why) the voters, most of them, rejected the Labour Party under Corbyn in 2019:
Why does @ChtyCommission allow Zionist groups to ‘police’ UK citizens using tactics synonymous with The Cheka police. How long before ‘volunteers’ claim leather coats on expenses? Make no mistake #Chekism is alive and well just watch Joe Glasman’s video. https://t.co/zZvuGe5HWg
Not the whole truth of the matter, because there were concerns about the blacks, especially black women, around Corbyn, and that whole anti-white mindset, but the Jew-Zionists in Labour, and in the mass media, were at the core of Labour’s unpopularity with the voters.
A relentless attack, every single day.
I do not see Labour as any more “electable” now. It has no policies of interest to speak of and, despite its present lead in the opinion polls, I doubt whether Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer will ever be Prime Minister.
True, Liz Truss, the current pseudo-Conservative front-runner, seems an absurd person to notionally lead the UK, but is she any worse than, say, Boris-idiot? Indeed, looking at the past decade, is the Truss woman really that much worse than those idiots David Cameron-Levita and Theresa May?
I detect no serious public enthusiasm for Starmer-Labour, and I think that recent by-election results support that. What does the Conservative Party now stand for? Globalism and mass immigration? Finance capitalism? Not much else. Labour, though? Nothing different. In fact, many would find it hard to say that Labour now stands for anything at all.
For those who missed them, here are a few profiles of Labour MPs:
The bookmakers now have Liz Truss at as short as 1/10 (odds-on). Seems that the Conservative Party membership is thought to disapprove of the “dark horse” in this ridiculous two-horse race.
Mass immigration has not been Britain’s only problem over the past 70 years (or even since 1989), but it has been the biggest single reason why the country into which I was born (albeit very imperfect anyway) has gradually become a kind of dustbin.
The latest dystopian nuance/nudge. I myself take no interest in any spectator sports, but it is very obvious that this whole episode is just part of a wider propaganda agenda.
In case you cannot read the very small print, the number for the UK is 5 (not all white anyway, of course); France, Germany = both 6 (also not all white). You get the picture. The Great Replacement. White Genocide.

Why is the country allowing – yet again – 160,000 mostly very old and similar people to choose the country’s leader?“

Some good points. The msm has become more or less the mouthpiece of government over the past couple of decades, something that (arguably) became pervasive under Blair and Brown but has become simply intolerable over the past decade or so.
Look at the BBC. Simply a propaganda megaphone for the multikulti society, mass immigration, “refugees welcome” nonsense, Black Lives Matter nonsense, “Covid” nonsense (inc. facemask nonsense, “social distancing” nonsense, “test and trace” nonsense, and “vaccine” nonsense) and, most recently, “pro-Ukraine” (meaning pro the Jewish regime in Kiev) nonsense.
Developers building speculative housing estates for aspirational “wiggers” and immigrants etc.
I am against most such developments on principle, not least because, without mass immigration, there would be no “housing shortage”. They destroy the countryside, and indeed existing villages and towns.
I also oppose most such developments because they rarely plan for sufficient infrastructure such as roads, parking, proper green parks and playgrounds. Another point is the almost invariably banal architecture.

EXCL poll for MoS: Fuel cost crisis sees more than one in four go without heating all day as a result of soaring bills @AVMikhailovapic.twitter.com/YsXZcnLmEz
For several years, I have been blogging and (before the Jew lobby had me expelled from Twitter in 2018) tweeting that the UK needs to join more closely with Russia, partly because, on certain premises, Russia would supply the UK with natural gas at or near cost-price.
The present “British” government of Jews, part-Jews, Indians etc has no interest in the welfare of the British people, preferring to do the job of the New World Order [NWO] in attacking Russia, Ukraine being the latest excuse.
Who will suffer because of the sanctions regime on Russia? Putin? The neo-nomenklatura of Russia? No. Us, mainly. The British people.
Pretty typical of many news reports seen now, eg in the Daily Mail and other online newspapers: containing spelling mistakes as well as misunderstood bits and pieces. For example, “shackle” for “shekel“. The (mostly quite poorly-paid) 20-somethings now writing for newspapers do not, most of them, have the real-life journalistic background of the old-style reporters.
Having said that, the MyLondon report, by one Holly Evans, does cover the main facts adequately, if briefly and selectively.
In the early 1980s, I think 1981 or 1982, I was at that funfair, or a similar one, on the grassed open area or Common at Blackheath. My then girlfriend’s small children, aged about 5 and 7, wanted to go. I rather dislike funfairs but had to agree to take them and their mother. It was just about walking distance from their house.
We tried various stalls and rides. I think (though cannot truly remember after 40 years) that I won a prize at the rifle-shooting stall, and I remember being asked (told by the attendant, and rudely) to stop driving my dodgem car broadside into other peoples’ cars; not aggression, but I honestly thought that that was what you were allowed and expected to do; in fact that had happened several times before in my life…I must be a recidivist!
Anyway, the children’s mother noticed a placard inviting anyone wanting to earn £5 to return at midnight to help dismantle all the rides etc. This was 1982, but £5 was no great sum even then; maybe £20 in the money of today.
If truth be known, I was not very enthusiastic, but I had no real or weekly/monthly source of income, and was not even on the dole, so I felt obliged to do it. I had not even started the law degree I later did (from 1984-1987), and had been overseas not long before.
A rather unwanted guest, a recent ex-Soviet citizen, middle-aged, and with glasses and a pipe, called Volodya (the children, unable to say his name, called him Volyoda), was accompanying us, but was saved from having to do any hard work by his (suddenly-mentioned) bad knee…
I turned up at midnight, and so began a very tiring and unpleasant overnight slog lasting hours, during which I, and about 8 other foolish volunteers, had to do things such as dismantle the dodgem car ride (carrying steel girders as well as cars), and (in my case) also climbing and wriggling to the top of the largest marquee and dismantling that.
Needless to say, I was in far better physical condition then than I now am. I could not even think of doing such labour now. All the same, this was hard hard work.
The funfair manageress woman, some kind of tinker-“traveller” type, wanted us, at 0400 hrs, to return to do more work and collect our £5 notes in the later morning! I led a “peasants’ revolt” against this transparent attempt to cheat us, and we then slaved for another hour or so before being (grudgingly) paid off.
I returned home dirty, whacked out, covered in scratches and oil etc, but triumphantly clutching my £5 note. Never again.
I am beginning to think that the System actually wants a nuclear war with Russia. Maybe Europe, including the UK, is to be largely wiped out, leaving only (partly-intact) North America, China, and the less-populated parts of Russia…
One of the characteristics of our time is rich people paying huge amounts of money for trash, such as Internet “art”, non-fungible tokens etc, not to mention actual “art” trash, such as that produced by the likes of Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst.

David Lammy
Bad-joke MP and one-time, rather briefly, practising and/or employed barrister, David Lammy, like quite a few of the blacks, thinks that Jesus Christ was “a refugee“. George Galloway, ex-MP, puts him, somewhat, in his place…
Lammy is no doubt welcome at Lincoln’s Inn, the Inn of Court to which he belongs. He may be a Bencher there —a member of the governing body— I do not know. I myself was a member of Lincoln’s Inn from 1986 until the Jew lobby procured my (wrongful/unlawful) disbarment in 2016 (so triggering expulsion from the Inn as well). So Lammy is welcome but I am not welcome. Sour grapes aside…is that not absolutely stupid and ridiculous?
Many areas of England, especially but not exclusively in the South, are becoming overcrowded in the extreme, with green bits gradually being filled in by private developments of little houses, developments without decent gardens or public parks, all because local authorities allow developers almost free rein, and because, on the big picture level, immigration and births to immigrants are swamping us.
Having a husband who can take care of our family is a blessing. It's not a matter of "letting" her work, it's providing her the comfort and freedom to make that decision. https://t.co/WqOTEWfbck
David Lammy is such a deadhead, it is actually funny. The sick thing is that that useless creature is, I believe, now a Bencher of my old Inn of Court, Lincoln’s Inn, whereas I, having been wrongfully disbarred at the instigation of a pack of Jews, was consequently automatically also, though somewhat later, expelled from the Inn, and am therefore no longer welcome. Never again shall I lunch there upon whitebait, in those historic surroundings, and while drinking old English dry cider.
Amusing, though of course not literally true in all cases. There is a great deal of corruption in countries where there are few if any Jews in positions of power or influence (China, for one), but there is at least some truth in the above cartoon as far as the West is concerned. You only have to look at the UK, France etc.

David Lammy
I happened to see the Twitter exchange (from October 2021) shown below, in which David Lammy —whose ignorance was showcased on Celebrity Mastermind [sic] in 2014— steps into the deep waters of archaeology, palaeontology and genetics. Brave indeed in someone who showed himself ignorant of basic history, geography etc :
Can you believe that, if Labour can form a government in a couple of years —admittedly still unlikely—, thick-as-two-short-planks David Lammy might actually end up as Attorney-General, or even as Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor? Hard to believe, but then who, years ago, would have thought that an amoral part-Jew chancer could pose as Prime Minister? (I mean “Boris”, not David Cameron-Levita…oh…).
Take a look at this!
Lammy thought that the first woman to win a Nobel Prize was Marie Antoinette! Even after the presenter gave him the Christian names of Marie Curie and her husband, Pierre!
Lammy had apparently never heard of
a. Stilton cheese;
b. a “pipette”;
c. “the gods” (highest seats) in a theatre;
d. the Purple Heart military decoration (U.S.), etc.
He answered “Versailles” for the 14thC fortress at Paris later used as a state prison (it’s the Bastille), and thought that Eduard Shevardnadze had been President of Yugoslavia! (it was Georgia, of course).
Lammy also failed to identify a remote area of Jamaica. Admittedly, I myself did not know that, but guessed that it had to be Jamaica (most Caribbean islands are too small to have remote areas).
I suppose that, in spirit of fairness, I should add that Lammy did get at least one question right that I did not know, something about a pop group called “Coldplay”.
At present, Lammy is Shadow Lord Chancellor! Previous actual Lord Chancellors have included such names as Cardinal Wolsey, Sir Thomas More, Sir Francis Bacon, Richard Haldane, Lord Hailsham etc. Admittedly not all previous incumbents were distinguished, beyond their bare office, but…Lammy??
Lammy is by no means the only stupid and ignorant member of the Commons— and not all of the worst idiots are black, incidentally— but his egregious mixture of bluster, malice and ignorance surely marks him out as someone to be kept out of serious policy.
Oh…and Lammy is, like all or virtually all of the Keir Starmer Shadow Cabinet, a member of Labour Friends of Israel…
There are many ways in which the UK is, in the colloquial, “screwed”, and one of those is the sheer lack of quality apparent in so many MPs. Lammy is just one of dozens, probably hundreds, of examples. A total deadhead.
The System parties, and even the controlled opposition of the UK “alt-Right” (UKIP, Brexit Party, Reform Party etc) are all playing a fixed game. Compare it to, say, the football leagues. In a sense, it is a genuine competition, in that this or that team (party) will win this or that game (election), but the league (System) continues whichever team (party) wins this year, next year etc. The only answer, in the political realm, is to overthrow the (ZOG) System itself.
His inability to do more than pose, entirely unsuccessfully, as Prime Minister, and his inability to handle the key aspects of the job or role, is obviously taking a huge psychological toll, despite his scarcely fulfilling (or being able to fulfil) the role in a proper manner.
Jesus H. Christ! The last time I had anything to do with the Home Office, a couple of decades or so ago, I was astounded: apart from the two middle-aged Englishmen who met and talked with me, the whole multi-storey building (Broadway Buildings, Westminster, near St. James’s Park Underground Station), as far as I could see anyway, was full of blacks and browns! Literally not a white face (except for the two already noted).
"The combination of these techniques destroyed the people smugglers’ model and now there are almost no incidences of small boats bringing unauthorised arrivals to Australia" | Writes Alexander Downer https://t.co/B6rwJcjEUO
Australia, which when I was there as a schoolboy in the late 1960s, was an entirely white European, mainly Anglo country (yes, there were some Aboriginals too, mainly in the bush, especially in the Northern Territory), has now a white European (including Southern European) population around 90% of the whole. Still higher than the UK and some other European countries, but for how long? Inexorable (?) change.
You can stop illegal immigration, such as that using small boats, but that is pointless if you allow millions in using other, “legal”, methods. The end result will be the same— a mainly non-white country, and the end of decent standards in all areas.
It will be recalled that former SIS Chief, Sir Richard Dearlove, suggested in 2020 that such was the case, but (it seems) that pressure was brought to bear on him, and he then backtracked. Interesting.
The Fall of Rome took place over centuries. The Graeco-Roman culture started in the proper sense around 600-700 B.C (though earlier Greek culture existed in some form for several centuries prior to that). The end of the Graeco-Roman period can be dated as, approximately, 1415. Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern [Roman] Empire, itself fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
Our own Fifth Post-Atlantean culture, which started around 1415 AD (or “CE”, if you prefer), has only travelled a third of its allotted distance, yet is already falling into decadence despite its technical progress.
The multikulti society does not work, in fact cannot work. In the USA, the (inevitable) friction has become conflict, and will eventually become open civil war or social war. Not simply black/white— that is simplistic. A social war based partly but not entirely on race. The UK will go down some similar, but not exactly the same, road in the end.

I was just laughing again at the following clip from Mastermind:
Lammy is no mastermind! His Wikipedia entry is too kind to him, and shows (yet again) the error of relying too much on superficial paper qualifications. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lammy.
I first posted the above clip about 6 months ago, and then wrote that, “Good grief! Someone sent me the clip below. I knew that Lammy was/is a deadhead, and in fact I have been meaning for a long time to add an assessment of him to my “Deadhead MPs” series, but…well, see for yourself!” and “People will say, “oh, but he is a barrister, has several degrees etc”…yes, and one of the most stupid (and ignorant) people I ever met was a former Sierra Leone diplomat, a High Commissioner to the UK when in London, and ambassador to some other state. That African had degrees from one of the most famous English universities, one from the Sorbonne, one from either Harvard or Yale (I forget).” Then I added, “Imagine Lammy as either Lord Chancellor or Attorney-General! Still, now that Keir Starmer is running what is left of Labour into the ground, such appointment is unlikely.”
The most obvious box-tick is the number of blacks and browns in leading roles: the captain of the nuclear submarine Vigil is a black, while the medical officer on board is an (?) Indian woman. Ashore, about half the Scottish (Glasgow) police detectives are non-white, and of the two main MI5 officers in the drama, one is seemingly Pakistani or something else.
Another box-tick is that, of the two women police detectives, the older one, a grieving quasi-widow, has a lesbian affair with the other. Well, such things happen, and there are, no doubt, both Glasgow detectives and naval officers (and MI5 personnel) who are non-white. In such proportion, though? In every TV drama?
A few other points about Vigil caught my attention. The GRU officer caught in Glasgow was interviewed about a murder (in which he was the only obvious suspect) without a lawyer present (despite having asked for one), and apparently without having been cautioned, and the interview was plainly not being taped (as far as I could see). At least three serious breaches of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, aka PACE. Not very good for a “police procedural” type of drama.
Again, the GRU [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRU] officer under diplomatic cover, caught in Glasgow in activities “incompatible with his diplomatic status”, did not, on being caught, immediately proclaim his diplomatic status (and so immunity); neither did he demand to be released at once, or to have contacted for him the Russian Consulate, as a real one would have done.
Not that such “demands” are always treated respectfully. When I myself was arrested (or as the Egyptian army and secret police said repeatedly, “not arrested”) in Alexandria in 1998, and held for about 11 hours by Egyptian Army intelligence/security and then the Mukhabarat (secret police), I asked repeatedly for the British Consul, only to be told (also repeatedly) that I was “not arrested”, but just “answering a few questions“, or “a fewmore questions“; also, that “the Consul will be very busy…“, and “the Consul is only for the most serious cases…you do not want to be treated as a serious case, do you?“…
In a sense, execution is too quick for those and similar monsters. The best thing that can be done to prevent such crimes is to ensure that such creatures cannot be born in the first place.
Quite. A silly fellow making a pointless and silly (and ahistorical) protest, but why should he not be allowed to do so? The present Home Secretary is an ever-more ballooning Indian woman of surpassing stupidity, incompetence, and ignorance (as well as being, effectively, an agent of Israel). Put that on your placard, you idiot!
More idiots. These ones are so ineffective and ridiculous that they cannot even be said to be “controlled opposition”. Just 5-minutes-of-fame (15 would be too long) political bad jokes. The Monster Raving Loonies are at least amusing when they show up.
I do not know what is more disturbing, that half-Jew office bully Raab is spouting “woke” nonsense, or that someone who has attended both Oxford and Cambridge universities, and is —even if ludicrously— presently Lord Chancellor, does not know the meaning of the word “misogyny”. Another sign of the times?

I suppose that one could take issue with the first part of Griffin’s tweet: it was not the State ownership of the means of production that crippled socialist economies, but the fact that the State, the political sphere if you like, operated companies etc, in other words made all the important decisions. Admittedly, in many such cases that will be the same as “ownership”.

It is noteworthy that Jews in the UK are among the most fervent supporters of Covid vaccination(s) and vaccines, the facemask nonsense, and all the repressive measures introduced by this crazed government of clowns since early 2020. I am not sure exactly why that should be, but it is a fact that I have noticed. Also, the pro-EU hard-core “Remainers” seem to be facemask zealots etc. Again, hard to see why, unless it is a wish to not have to think for themselves. Preparation of future karma?
Sometimes, I can see why people less polite than me want to kick in the heads of some members of the Parliamentary monkeyhouse… The sheer cheek of many MPs infuriates many members of the public and —in my view— rightly so.
Look at this cretin!
Although he said he currently is not struggling financially, he believes the situation is ‘desperately difficult’ for his newer colleagues.
Admittedly, £81,000 is not a fortune these days, especially when taxable etc, but bearing in mind that average UK pay is only about £31,000 (and the median far less even than that, and less again if those dependent on State benefits and pensions are included), I doubt that many will think MPs are hard done by. Even less so when one considers how many have other sources of income, such as second jobs, “consultancy” “work”, money from scribbling or being TV talking heads etc; not to mention the very many who have large monies via inheritances.
Many MPs are also buy-to-let parasites.
In the end, MPs are volunteers. If they think that they are worth more than £81K p.a., let them go and get it on the open market. Few can do so, which is why so many are found sinecures in state employment, or in quangos (via cronyism) when they lose their seats.
Now I should say straightaway that I am not very familiar with the name Alex Belfield, having only seen that name a few times on Twitter. I believe that he was on BBC local radio in the Midlands or North at one time.

In Cornwall, last week, a man was charged with five counts under the Public Order Act 1986. He ran an Internet “radio station”.
Tomorrow, 30 March 2021, the persecuted singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz faces trial yet again, and yet again the instigator of police/CPS action was the malicious Jewish-Zionist cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, who were also the instigators of the above-mentioned action against someone in Cornwall. As to Alex Belfield, I do not know.
What interests me, apart from the Zionist aspect, is that in all three mentioned cases, Internet “radio” forms the background. The real or broadcast radio in the UK is “regulated” (strictly controlled) by the System, via OFCOM. Internet “radio” is not regulated or controlled by OFCOM. Thus the System is now scrabbling to find ways to shut down the “wrong” messages.
Alison Chabloz recently made a first appearance as defendant in yet another case involving Internet “radio”. Once again, the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” is involved.
Incidentally, anyone who wants to support Alison Chabloz at her trial under the notorious “bad law” of the Commuications Act 2003, s.127, starting tomorrow (set down for Tuesday and Wednesday this week) can do so.

[Update, 17 September 2022:https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/16/former-bbc-dj-alex-belfield-jailed-for-stalking-jeremy-vine-and-others. I still do not know whether there was any directly political aspect to that case; if so, the msm have ignored it. As to the sentence (5.5 years), arguably savage, on the face of it, the trial judge having sentenced on the basis that several of the counts should be sentenced consecutively, rather than concurrently. Belfield was acquitted on a number of other counts.
Govt plan: 1. Keep to ´Road Map’ until May elections. 2. After elections some backsliding 3. Substantial ´opening up’ by July/August but masks/‘social distancing’ remain. 4. In Sept ‘concerns’ about new wave/new variants on every news bulletin. 5. Oct, lockdown ´to protect NHS’ https://t.co/aFdlf3D3VX
My theory is, if the same thing happens to humans that happened in the animal trials… another flu virus will attack the vaccinated cause mass fatalities, this will be branded another deady strain / mutation then mass enforcement of vaccines end game achieved.
I actually don't think people are going to put up with this "save the NHS" line any longer. If it's in that parlous a state then spend more money on it now rather than shut the economy down again in six months.
Which people will not put up with it? The scared rabbits who wear facemasks on clifftops and in supermarket car parks? Sadly, the British people have become rather pathetic.
Exactly. This is all designed to facilitate the next 33 years starting in 2022. The Great Reset, together with the Great Replacement. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. NWO. ZOG. A concerted attempt to rule the world.

Good grief! Someone sent me the clip below. I knew that Lammy was/is a deadhead, and in fact I have been meaning for a long time to add an assessment of him to my “Deadhead MPs” series, but…well, see for yourself!
People will say, “oh, but he is a barrister, has several degrees etc”…yes, and one of the most stupid (and ignorant) people I ever met was a former Sierra Leone diplomat, a High Commissioner to the UK when in London, and ambassador to some other state. That African had degrees from one of the most famous English universities, one from the Sorbonne, one from either Harvard or Yale (I forget).
Imagine Lammy as either Lord Chancellor or Attorney-General! Still, now that Keir Starmer is running what is left of Labour into the ground, such appointment is unlikely.
My Twitter account (removed in 2018 at the instigation of a Jewish/Zionist cabal) was one of rather few accounts followed by Icke. Now he too has been removed from Twitter, by the same or connected (((forces))). We must fight for freedom now, or Lilliputian ties will bind us forever.

I have no idea what that book may contain, but it may be worth reading. I shall probably read it at some point.
Good of you @janinethechef1, but I had hoped for a lot mpore, and there were a couple of moments when it seemed as if there was a resistance forming. But the vast propaganda resources of the other side, and their cynical use of fear, overwhelmed us. https://t.co/i9Cp4foffE
The facemask nonsense is now quite embedded, embedded by a mixture of fear propaganda, legal sanction, and the fact that you cannot even enter a supermarket (in practice) without wearing one, or half-wearing one.
I was at Waitrose a couple of days ago. Rabbits wearing facemasks even in the car park! I even saw one twenty-something jogging in from the street to the Waitrose car park wearing one! Despite the rabbit being that age, and alone in the cold darkness…Truly, those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.
The NHS needs a root and branch review. Thin it out and get more money to the front line where it’s needed and not spent on pc jobs and vanity projects

Eventually, not today and not tomorrow, not even in 2022, but in 10-20 years, there will be a war of existential survival: European race, culture, and civilization against, not the non-whites as such, but against the enemies of European race, culture and civilization, whoever they are, wherever they are. Survival of Europe and its future, and extermination of all enemies of civilization and positive upward evolution.

If your qualifier for being "English" is that you were born in London, then what is your qualifier for being Caribbean? https://t.co/DVLL4EBq0P
Lammy is a dim creature. Cannot even spell “Caribbean” properly…
Lammy has displayed his ignorance many times: “In 2013, Lammy accused the BBC of making a “silly innuendo about the race” on Twitter during the announcement of the next Pontiff where the BBC tweeted “will smoke be black or white?” in reference to smoke above the Sistine Chapel. Lammy criticised the BBC’s tweet as “crass and unnecessary.” He subsequently apologised after other Twitter users pointed out the role played by black and white smoke in announcing the election of a new Pope.[52][53]” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lammy#Comments_attracting_criticism].
Thick as two short planks, ignorant, unpleasant, yet there Lammy (a member of Labour Friends of Israel) sits, a Privy Councillor no less, and Shadow Lord Chancellor, though under Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer, Labour is doing even worse than it was under Corbyn, and seems (so far) to have little or no prospect of actually being able to form a government in or before 2024.
The book was written by one Henry Hemming, who has, it seems, written other non-fiction works. A youngish man, 40-41 but looking younger in the photo inside the book’s cover; the book’s blurb says almost nothing of him; Wikipedia is also rather unforthcoming [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Hemming].
My view? Well, a good read. Nicely written. Previous books have been written about Maxwell Knight, and I have read one of those, but about 20 years ago. Cannot recall much. This book is probably better, and certainly thicker…
There were a few things not to my liking, and which made me question the author’s grasp. One was a passage dealing with the visit of one of M’s agents to the Berchtesgaden area. The book says that there was “...a view of the Kehlsteinhaus, or Eagle’s Nest, where Hitler liked to spend much time.”
[Kehlsteinhaus, Obersalzberg, 2004]
Well, that is wrong. Hitler did not in fact spend much time there, for one thing. He used it mainly to receive (some) guests, rather than at his house, the Berghof, which was at a lower level on the mountain.
Surely Hemming cannot have confused that “teahouse” with another one, which Hitler used almost daily? “Referred to as the “D-Haus”, short for “Diplomatic Reception House”, the Kehlsteinhaus is often conflated with the teahouse on Mooslahnerkopf Hill near the Berghof,[7] which Hitler walked to daily after lunch.[8] The teahouse was demolished by the Bavarian government after the war, due to its connection to Hitler.” [Wikipedia].
The other point is that the name Kehlsteinhaus is a post-1945 one. The unofficial Third Reich name, the “Eagle’s Nest”, is Adlershorst in German. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kehlsteinhaus.
I wonder how true that is. If it is basically correct, then those social-national-sympathizing police should not be wasting their time issuing puerile death threats against stray nuisances, and making online comments, but should be keeping their powder dry, recruiting more people, and organizing quietly and secretly for when the right time may come.
Yet you act as his propagandist. As does Starmer, who has completely failed in his duty to oppose, instead demanding that the country be yet more disastrously strangled. Why not be proud of your transition from active journalist to passive state servant? @matthewstadlenhttps://t.co/AgOnUtVJMy
Yes. My (small, pleasant) nearest hospital (semi-rural coastal Hampshire) had, at one time three (yes, 3) patients with “the virus” and, more recently, about two weeks ago, seven (7). That’s out of a total district council area population of 180,000 spread over 291 square miles. 95% of the population is “white British” (and nearly 3% “white Other”). As against that, the age demographic is quite high.
True, there are other, larger, hospitals not very far away (Bournemouth and Southampton, both within 25 miles distance) but even so it is clear that few people in the wider area are infected or at least symptomatic to the extent that they need hospitalization.
Much of the Western world has gone crazy and I do not believe that the public health issue is the main reason for that. Think “Great Reset”. Think 2022, and the 33-year cycle.
I interpret that as I have been suggesting for some time: the Conservative Party is winning, just about, by default. The Jewish mass media have stopped attacking Labour (because the Zionists achieved their objective of recapturing Labour and dumping Corbyn), but that alone is not enough to put Labour into the lead.
In a sense, remarkable, when you look at the sleaze and incompetence of the Boris-idiot government of fools.
Labour is not really being an Opposition. All it is doing is saying “we want stricter lockdown, more facemask nonsense, blah blah”.
There is no legitimate Government, and no real Opposition.
Been sympathetic to the argument what are framed as No.10 "communications" screw-ups are actually policy screw-ups that then have to be rationalised by the No.10 comms team.

Speaking of reality v. unreality, I heard a truly absurd piece on the BBC World Service a few days ago.

If you said that you wanted to feed Jews to the dogs, or any named Jew, the police would probably be at your door, and/or you might end up on trial (like Alison Chabloz) under the notorious Communications Act 2003, s.127. Will that happen to “Sion Gruffudd”? I doubt it…
“.…Professor of History Carroll Quigley (1910-1977) of Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown Universities in America…wrote a book entitled The Tragedy and Hope (1966) which discloses an international bankers’ plan to control the world from behind the political and financial scenes. Quigley claimed that the planning by billionaires to establish a dictatorship of the super-rich disguised as workers and socially concerned democracies was already well-advanced even by the middle 1960s. Something that would be dismissed today as a “conspiracy theory” by the university departments sponsored by the likes of Facebook, Google, YouTube and Soros; beholden as they are to an elitist cadre of alumni who fund their research, and who are monitored by the Stasi-like Equality & Diversity units who enforce ‘right-think’ with an enthusiasm that matches Mao’s Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution in China.”

The Spanish growers have said they’ll sort the French out. Meantime, back in Lincolnshire beautiful cauliflower, broccoli, sprouts, potatoes and carrots are ignored by the big supermarkets! The best for British produce are Lidl & Aldi! Counter-intuitive but true.
Alternatively, the Spanish authorities can, though not immediately, build up the ports of Bilbao and Santander. At present (or until recently) there was only one ro-ro ferry per week from Santander to Plymouth. I believe one per week Bilbao-Portsmouth too. If that were changed to 5 per day from each port, France could be sidelined. It takes longer to get to the UK from Spain, naturally, but taking the road trip Spain-Channel ports into account, not much longer.

Many complain about the Jewish lobby bias on some topics covered in Wikipedia. This is why— Jews recruited to censor articles and distort both current events and history:
Can you edit @Wikipedia pages? We need your help to keep information about #antisemitism accurate and up to date!
Expect Wikipedia to be even more pro-Zionist from now on, its pages on many socio-political topics contaminated and distorted.
Incidentally, do not be misled: the bias goes far beyond “information about #antisemitism“, as claimed. Pages on modern and ancient history, religion, geography, biography, political organizations etc.
Wikipedia should be aware also of the fact that, in the notice above, Jews are specifically asked whether they are able to edit Wikipedia; in other words via their own private Wikipedia accounts. Wikipedia will have no idea whether an edit is honest or whether it is part of this co-ordinated campaign by a very malicious group of Zionist Jews.

@micolajane50. Why was 'lockdown' a mistake? Because it destroyed the economy, led to many needless deaths, gravely damaged liberty and achieved precisely nothing. More detail available on application. https://t.co/u81ZO5NW1S
Incredible that there are people who apparently need to ask “why was ‘lockdown’ a mistake?“, but there again, if you are fairly comfortably off, do not need (for whatever reason) to work for money, perhaps live in the country or outer suburbs and have little social life, you may not have been affected much if at all by the stupid “lockdown” imposition.
Indeed, you may have enjoyed the sense of peace and quiet as society all but shut down, as Nature reasserted itself. If you are or were in that position, your life was not much strained, assuming that you have at least some income. Deliveries of food and drink, ordered online; other shopping ordered online; books, DVDs etc. For those with higher incomes and better properties, there was always the swimming pool and tennis court in which to while away the days…and so on.
Such people can selfishly (not necessarily consciously selfishly) turn blind eyes to the shutdown of industry and commerce, to the terrible shortages affecting charities such as animal charities, among others, and to the socio-economic disaster created but which has not yet arrived (that will be in 2021-2022). They can also, perhaps, ignore the cost in pain and death of the semi-closure of the NHS, which has affected those with non-Coronavirus conditions.

Well, writing a letter or email may have some limited effect. I can only think of one fairly recent event that got the MPs off their chairs pretty excitedly, but having no wish to be bored by police nuisances at my door (again, it having happened a few times in 2017-2018), I do not think that I shall cite that event here.

Memory Lane
I hope that the readers of my blog do not object to the inclusion of some personal reminiscences. Having Saturn in Scorpio, I do tend to think back rather a lot. As the Germans say, “Ruckshau“.
I was just recalling former times, triggered by an email from someone.
Many many years ago, I had a —now-deceased— friend, a lecturer at the language centre of the University of Westminster, who lived in the London Borough of Barnet (I think he was within that borough— North Finchley). A good fellow, a noted translator of Dostoyevsky, called Ig Avsey: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2013/dec/09/ignat-avsey-obituary
In the late 1980s, I occasionally stayed overnight there (on a very uncomfortable and ancient leather sofa in the drawing room, a cold room decorated with Ig’s collection of massive railway clocks). When Ig remarried in 2000 (a very unsuitable match, to a youngish Russian woman resident in Latvia), the couple came and stayed overnight at the large country house of which my wife and I had a lease, in Cornwall. That was in 2002, I think. Once was enough, to be frank! Sadly, “there’s no fool like an old fool” when it comes to women…
Ig lived in a small close called Wolstonbury, which backed onto a golf course or land near a golf course. A strange menage. For a while, a fellow we both called “Uncle John” lived there too, a former student of Ig’s and an Oxford grad, but middle-aged and, like Ig, divorced. They always reminded me of “The Odd Couple“:
“Uncle John” was a very English person, who was still under the thumb of his ex-wife, Alla Figoff, a Leningrader by origin, and who was in fact another of my occasional teachers (Russian Conversation, I think). Alla lived in their former marital home, an apartment in Devonshire Place (in the West End), while Uncle John was living in one room at Ig’s place…and their two children were both at expensive schools paid for by Uncle John (Marlborough, I think; maybe also Bedales or Benenden, I cannot now remember).
Alla was killed, years later, in a fall from her balcony when she was full of whisky. Uncle John then met and married a very wealthy woman and resumed his place among the palatially-housed.
Ig was a good fellow, whose translations of Dostoyevsky were much-praised (one or two had, amazingly, never been translated previously, such as In the Village of Stepanchikovo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Village_of_Stepanchikovo).
Ig had been born in Latvia, his family having fled Russia during the Revolution and Civil War of 1917-1922. Fleeing Soviet forces again during the Second World War, he spent time in Germany before ending up in Britain when aged about 14, sometime around 1952.
Ig Avsey was the kind of Russian (or part-Russian: he was always rather secretive about his family) who is able to work at a project devotedly for years, without pay or plaudit; one thinks of Mitrokhin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Mitrokhin.
Ig took a year’s sabbatical in order to translate The Brothers Karamazov for Penguin Classics. A decision which brought honour but was financially pretty disastrous. The year, taken on full pay with the blessing of the University, became a second year in which the University reduced his salary to half-pay, then a third on no pay at all. The money paid by the publishers did not begin to make up the shortfall. Ig was a perfectionist who wanted to get it right. For him, Dostoyevsky was the greatest of the Russian writers, I think. He would not compromise.
At the same time as Ig was translating Karamazov, at least two other translations came out, but they were little more than potboilers, produced carelessly because the market seemed to be hopeful. One even used Americanisms such as “district attorney” and “chief of police”! In pre-revolutionary Russia! In fact, Ig did consult me about a couple of odd things (to do with such designations).
The University eventually had enough of the endless absence and Ig was more or less forced into retirement. I do not think that his Penguin contract was very generous either. He was only getting pennies for each volume sold; how many pennies, I cannot recall.
Society needs people like that.
