At time of writing, the Runcorn and Helsby by-election has 9 hours still to run before polls close.
I have blogged that I think that, despite Reform UK not being social-national, and despite the candidate, Sarah Pochin, being rather low-key and also an ex-Conservative, it will probably smash this. It should. After all, what sort of idiot now votes “Labour”-label, even in the North of England? Starmer-stein has shown his true colours— indistinguishable from the Cameron-era “Conservatives”, and a complete puppet of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby.
If I am wrong, and Labour retains the seat, it will be disappointing, though even that will (depending on the figures) show that Labour, as much as the Conservative Party, is in terminal decline.
As previously blogged, all generally pro-British voters should back Reform in this by-election. Former Labour voters who do not want to vote Reform should vote Green or elsewhere, or stay at home. As for former Conservative voters, the Con candidate has no chance at all. If you want to stick it to Labour, vote Reform.

If replicated at a general election, that would equate to about 349 Reform MPs, and a substantial Commons majority (Lab 130, LibDems 60, SNP 41, Cons 39).
Such a result, placing the Conservative Party only 5th in the Commons (after Reform, Labour, the LibDems, and the SNP) would probably be effectively terminal for the Conservative Party.
In its effect, that would be almost revolutionary, even if Reform by then were as (((occupied))) as the existing System parties. The System structure would have been broken down. After that, anything might be possible.

Good for them! If a Russian army of millions, even unarmed, were crossing the Channel, the msm, and System politicos, would all be gagging for them to be shot, but the present black/brown cross-Channel invasion is far worse than a Russian invasion (armed or unarmed) would be, because those now invading us are at best useless parasites, at worst criminals, scavengers, predators, and/or hate-filled enemies of our whole way of life.

The whole idea of (in the UK) having elected mayors and, even worse, those risible “police and crime commissioners”, was a very poor policy. The “police and crime commissioner” in Hampshire is a very fat woman who seems to be completely useless, and has never had a job (except political ones such as running Portsmouth Council), let alone a profession, though to give her some credit she at least recognized publicly that the so-called “riots” (protests) in 2024 against immigration or migration invasion were linked to, er, immigration and migration invasion.

Britain has been invaded and is being occupied: “legal” immigrants (supposed spouses, fiancees, students, work-visa holders, then illegal immigrants on “small boats etc”, then births to those non-white women already in the UK, and also to stupid white/British women impregnated by blacks).
Again, Reform in the top two places of an opinion poll. I think that all opinion polls for the past 6-9 months have had Reform either top or second.
The “Conservatives” have no chance after their 14 years of appalling misgovernment 2010-2024, especially now that their idiot MPs and ordinary members have (for the second time) chosen to be led by a non-white, non-British “leader”.
On the Opinium figures, the Commons would have both Reform and Labour on 228 MPs, Cons with 97, and LibDems with 43 (taking LibDems and Green as each having a 10% vote-share). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html
As with so many other recent polls, a Reform/Con government would be the only possibility, on those numbers, or a minority Reform government.
Very different figures, but same basic story. On those numbers, though, Reform UK would have about 325 MPs, one short of an absolute majority, but enough for a very thin working majority, without the need for support.
On the numbers there, Labour would have 154 MPs, Cons 58, and LibDems 45. If that were to happen, the Conservative Party would be utterly irrelevant, and likely to decline to near-zero over time.
Not sure whether that likely Con terminal decline would be the best result, or whether the best consequence of such an electoral result would be that Labour would have only 154 MPs instead of 403 (as now). A loss of 249 MPs. 249 upset System drones (plus 63 equally-upset Con ex-MPs; wonderful again…).

“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.

If Sarah Vine (Daily Mail scribbler, and ex-wife of Israel/Jewish lobby puppet Michael Gove) is not Jew or part-Jew, I’ll eat my hat. Still, she apparently owns at least one book by David Irving, so the question remains at least somewhat open.
As for Seldon, as a well-known writer, historian etc, he should know that the USA lost its moral authority long ago, certainly by the time it became a “tail wags dog” state controlled by Israeli and other Jewish and Zionist interests under the two Bush presidents and Clinton, Obama, and Biden. You only have to think of the torture and perversity inflicted at Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Kabul, Guantanamo, and elsewhere.

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.
Let’s go Runcorn and Helsby! It’s a two horse race —Labour or Reform—and only one of them believe in Britain. You know what to do.

[“NEW POST. I’ve just returned to Britain from Hungary, where I spent a few days giving talks to students, politicians, and members of the public. Whenever you mention Hungary among a certain group in London —think SW1 Westminster, the BBC, Financial Times, Oxbridge—people tend to lose their minds. ‘Hungary!?’ they say, ‘you mean that rather odd country in Eastern Europe that’s very conservative and falling out with everybody in the European Union!?” I first experienced this reaction last summer when, amid the Southport atrocities, I dared to point out that the country I was visiting and which Western elites like to criticise —a very stable, a very secure, and a very peaceful Hungary—looked utterly different to the country I was returning to. Because unlike Hungary, Britain was on fire. Widespread rioting and protests after the Southport atrocity had become an unavoidable symbol of intense public concern about things that are only significant in Hungary because they are absent —mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, radical Islamism, Pakistani Muslim rape gangs, and the murder of children by the descendants of recent immigrants. Nonetheless, my mere suggestion that perhaps Hungary has got some things right that Britain has got badly wrong generated an incredibly hostile response from British elites, reflecting an arrogance and snobbishness that is rife among that class. Indeed, for much of the last fifteen years there’s been an assumption among elites in Britain that something has gone ‘badly wrong’ with Hungary. But based on what I witnessed and was asked at events last week, I’m here to tell you that the opposite is true. Because as far as many Hungarians are concerned, it is Britain, it is England, it is us, who got things badly wrong, who made a series of disastrous policy choices they are determined to avoid, and who are, in the words of one person I encountered, “losing our country”.”]

If you don’t understand how the legal system really works, here’s something you need to know:
Apart from giving your name and address, your only words to the police should be: “No comment.” Let your solicitor do the talking – that’s what they’re there for.
[“If you don’t understand how the legal system really works, here’s something you need to know: Apart from giving your name and address, your only words to the police should be: “No comment.” Let your solicitor do the talking – that’s what they’re there for. The system pressures people to plead guilty for a lighter sentence, even when they’ve done nothing wrong. It’s designed that way – quick, easy, and cheaper for them. But it leads to countless miscarriages of justice. And once you plead guilty, even if it becomes clear later that you were treated unfairly, you’ve usually lost your right to appeal. Know your rights. Don’t be bullied by the system.“]
I was wondering whether (presuming that it was so) the person in that first tweet pleaded guilty, thinking to receive mercy, if not justice. Not in a “political” case…
Interesting that the police (obviously, or presumably, posing as “anti-terror” plods) got the man’s credit/debit cards barred, thus forcing him to return to the UK rather than extend his stay, move elsewhere etc. Thus we see the dangers inherent in the looming “cashless society”. If your only money is stored in electrical impulses on a screen, it is controlled, monitored, and can be cut off, centrally. Be warned.

As blogged previously, only voting for Reform at that by-election will defeat Labour. The “Conservative” fag-end of a party has no chance, and scored only 16% (3rd place) at the 2024 General Election.
Reform can smash this, if people (whatever their preferences) prioritize their wish to defeat fake Labour, Starmer-stein Labour, over everything else.
The population explosion caused by mass migration has put the NHS under severe pressure…

Well, according to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that translates to a Commons with 191 Lab MPs, 171 Reform, 154 Con, 67 LibDem (SNP 3 etc). Truly a hung Parliament. Any Labour minority government would need either Con or Reform support to govern, and that would be unlikely (unless Reform were to extract a Proportional Representation law as the price of passage). As for Reform, even with Con support it would still be 1 seat short of a formal majority.
Net approval of the government's managing of the cost of living has fallen to -69, lower than the -59 when the Conservatives left office last July
Combining that with the fact that, in another YouGov poll, 52% of UK people see the economy as the number one issue (the second being immigration—44%), it bodes badly for Labour at the Runcorn and Helsby by-election.
This just slipped by everyone yesterday didn’t it!

80% of Britons say courts should have the power to ban people from standing for election if they are convicted of crimes related to elections or holding office, after French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was banned from standing for election for embezzling EU funds
The question bamboozles the naive respondents. It assumes that the definitions of the alleged crime(s) are correct, and that the court deciding the question of conviction is not itself political or politicized, or politically-influenced. The poll is therefore meaningless and, in fact, dishonest.
“What the Marine Le Pen case reflects is how the elite class is now trying to push us into ‘post-democracy’— a new era in which power, influence and legitimacy are taken out of the hands of the people and put into the hands of a small, unelected, unaccountable elite.
[“What the Marine Le Pen case reflects is how the elite class is now trying to push us into ‘post-democracy’— a new era in which power, influence and legitimacy are taken out of the hands of the people and put into the hands of a small, unelected, unaccountable elite.
This new elite —which spans the political, media, legal, and creative class— not only decides what values and voices are permissible and socially acceptable but is now, visibly, reshaping the parameters of our political systems so that its ongoing and extreme ideological project —radical liberal progressivism enforced through a technocratic managerial class—cannot be disrupted, opposed or diluted in any meaningful way.
As the likes of Christopher Lasch predicted more than thirty years ago, the next major revolt that would reshape the West would not be one that sees the masses rising up against the elites but the elites rising up against the masses.
This is what we are now witnessing across the West, through the rise, spread and enforcement of things like the ‘censorship industrial complex’, hate laws, concept creep, the removal of anti-establishment candidates from the democratic realm, and the use of social norms and taboos to continually discredit conservative, populist, and gender critical views that are entirely legitimate but which the elite class consider unacceptable and so work to stigmatise if not shut down.
In this way, in post-democracy, our once representative political systems, the public square, our institutions, our civic culture are all hollowed out so that they only ever serve and reinforce the values and voice of an elite minority, rather than the forgotten majority.
Ordinary citizens, in this way, are not only stripped of their democratic power but are also forced to live with the dire effects of this project, including mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, radical Islamism, sectarianism, and more.
This is what is now unfolding across much of the West. This is what millions of ordinary, taxpaying, hardworking, patriotic people can now see and feel. This is what millions of people are fighting against”.]

The more that I think about the upcoming Runcorn and Helsby by-election, the more I think that Reform are going to smash it.
No matter that I could imagine Reform with a better candidate (someone such as Matt Goodwin), though the Reform candidate seems voter-acceptable, anyway. The important thing, surely, is the hatred so many people now feel for the main System parties and even more —because of the feeling of betrayal— from Labour (in fact much more than for the Conservatives who, despite their appalling record 2010-2024, are now seen as near-irrelevant, finished, washed-up).
That’s before you even factor-in the fact that the Conservative Party is now led by a Nigerian woman who also seems totally clueless. Also, Kemi Badenoch’s thunder (on social security, tax, spending cuts etc) has been stolen by Labour. Labour is just a label now, and is even less social, let alone socialist, than the Conservative Party.
For me, it is telling that the Labour candidate for the by-election is trying to ape Reform, demanding the closure of hotels occupied by migrant-invaders etc. It is clear that Labour considers Reform to be its main rival, and not only at Runcorn and Helsby.
In the past nearly 9 months, the Labour “brand” has been totally trashed. The whole population, I should have thought, has turned away from Labour. Pensioners, the young, anyone receiving any State benefit at all, anyone anti-migration invasion, anyone with any genuine feeling for the English countryside, will not be voting Labour.
The petty corruption and sleaze of the Labour Cabinet may be dwarfed by the corruption of the past years of “Con Party” misgovernment, but the point, I think, is that people, especially in the North of England, somehow expected Labour to be somehow better.
The sheer “we are the masters now” arrogance and callousness exhibited by Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Starmer-stein, and their lesser followers such as Torsten Bell, has disgusted millions.
People now, after only 9 months, see this Labour-label regime as being quite as bad, and in fact worse in every way, than those of 14 years of Conservative misgovernment.
I do not think that Labour’s appalling handling of foreign affairs (by thick “diversity-hire” Lammy, as well as by Starmer-stein himself) will count for much at the by-election, either way, but people can surely see that Starmer has made a fool of himself by threatening to send (almost non-existent) troops to Ukraine etc. That is so even for people who support the Kiev regime.
I think that important factors at the by-election will include the continuing migration-invasion, the petty sleaze and corruption of Labour’s top echelon, the hypocrisy of the same, the sense of Britain as a country sliding to chaos and even civil war (albeit not this year), the behaviour of the former Labour MP, the wish to give Labour a real kick and, perhaps most important, the sense of total betrayal by Labour.
At present, both polling orgs and bookmakers predict a modest or narrow win for Reform.
I may be wrong, but I think we could be looking at a huge win by Reform. A win in the region of as much as 50% or even 60% of the vote-share. Labour? Maybe 20%-30%. Cons? 10% or below; maybe even a lost deposit.
This might turn out to be a very significant by-election result. If Reform can win it, the win might pave the way for dozens of others in this Parliament.

That Torsten Bell idiot is so obviously a careerist and hypocrite. Frighteningly thick, too, for all the Oxford PPE degree etc, and with no real principles or ideals, or even ideas. Just a careerist drone. Sickening. This is neo-Blairism without even the fig-leaf of public good that Labour displayed 1997-2010.
The Torsten Bell idiot reiterates the now-standard bs (first seen per Dunce Duncan Smith etc, during the 2010-2015 years of the Cameron-Levita “Conservative” government) about how cutting the income of those already poor or very poor somehow saves them from being “written off”! The sheer lying hypocrisy is stunning.
When I see lying hypocrites and System careerists such as Torsten Bell, I think “that is why you need concentration camps” (at very least).
I see from Wikipedia that that Bell individual is 42, 43 later this year; looks and sounds like a recent graduate, though he must have graduated 20 years ago. No weight, very very unconvincing, and also very plainly in it (politics) for his own benefit.
Torsten Bell has just accused me of defending a Tory welfare system. That is a lie. I have consistently called for reform of the system but not a reform based upon billions of pounds of cuts that will harm and put the lives of disabled people at risk.
That little Torsten Bell blot seems oblivious to the fact that, in contrasting what the Starmer-stein “Labour”-label misgovernment is doing with what he calls the “Tory welfare system“, he is actually presenting even the cruel/callous policies of the Conservatives from 2010-2024 as having been better (less cruel and less callous) than those of Starmer-stein, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, and Liz Kendall.
My illustrious MP , parachuted into a safe Labour seat ,he’s a despicable man. This happened to my husband who is now dead . The pip process is dehumanising.”

Voters of Runcorn and Helsby, send this evil “Labour”-label misgovernment a message by voting Reform at the upcoming by-election. No matter if you do not like Farage, or disagree with some Reform policies. The thing to do is to stick it to both Labour and the equally-misnamed Conservatives.
In an ideal world, I should like very bad things to happen to many System politicians but, in view of the fact that we live in a gradually-encroaching police state, I prefer to say no more, and to let the readers of the blog read between the lines.

Because Starmer-stein’s own attitude has transmitted itself to his Cabinet and thence to almost all Labour MPs…i.e. “we are the masters now“, but I remember how rattled and, in a word, scared, they all were when the so-called “riots” (protests) happened last summer. I think they were at least slightly wondering whether they would end up dangling from lamp-posts, as happened to the Communist secret policemen of the HVA after the eruption of the Hungarian Uprising in 1956.

“Political power comes out of the barrel of a gun” [Mao]
“The pen is mightier than the sword” [Bulwer-Lytton]
The former MP, unimpressive Labourite drone Mike Amesbury, stepped down a few days ago, having been convicted of common assault and sentenced to 10 weeks in prison. He had drunkenly assaulted a complaining constituent in the street one evening.
The sentencing judge (district judge/magistrate) expressly refused bail pending appeal, so Amesbury was hauled off to prison briefly before, a couple of days later, having his bail application and appeal very expeditiously heard, his sentence then having been suspended. He does, however, have to do 200 hours of unpaid work; the imprisonment, unpleasant though it would be, might have been less onerous; also, the “10 weeks” would actually have been only 4 weeks long. Still, few would choose the imprisonment (given that choice).
Amesbury, to give him his due, could have simply put one or two fingers up to Labour (which has suspended him) and society, and carried on as an independent MP for the next 4 or so years (though a recall petition might have forced him out later this year). Instead, he decided to step down. I have to admit that I would not have done so, were I in his place.
As to the by-election, Labour won easily in 2024, but that was then; its 52.9% of the vote is not going to be replicated in the by-election. In the opinion polls about the by-election, Labour is only a point or two ahead of Reform UK (in the 30%-33% zone), with the Conservative Party on 20%, a few points higher than in 2024 (perhaps surprisingly).
The “experts” mostly think Labour will win the by-election, though the bookmakers (often unreliable guides in political betting) think Reform has the better chance.
My own view is that only dummies would vote “Labour” (aka Labour Friends of Israel Con-lite) now, after the disastrous past 8 months. Still, there are plenty of dummies out there…
The Conservative Party only scored 16% in 2024, and has no real chance in the by-election, so if Con voters want to stick it to Labour and Starmer-stein, then the obvious thing to do is to vote Reform. As I said, though, the UK is not short of dummies. Time and again we see voters march out to vote for parties that have no chance in a given seat.
Reform itself has been damaged by the recent infighting, perhaps, but the anger and frustration of many voters should not be underestimated. People wanted rid of the 14 years of “Conservative” misrule, only to find that, by reason of a semi-rigged FPTP electoral system, they are now misgoverned by a “Labour” regime even worse (and even less compassionate) than its Con predecessors.
On that basis, I think that Reform has a good chance, a very good chance.

[“A woman from Ghana has won the right to remain in the UK after organising a proxy marriage to an EU national, in Ghana, 12 days before the Brexit deadline. Neither she nor her “husband” attended the wedding.“]
As Katie Hopkins puts it, “Batshit Bonkers Britain“…
Perhaps England should withdraw from the United Kingdom and become a republic. It's hard to see any downside for England.
Increasingly, I can agree with the idea of England, or England & Wales, becoming a separate republic. Let those north of Hadrian’s Wall, and those across the Irish Sea, go their own way (without the subsidy from England), particularly as many of the Scots seem, in their delusion, to not only be willing to accept migration-invasion by blacks and browns but even (ludicrously) to welcome it! I certainly see little or no serious Scottish opposition to the invasion, even at the low level of opposition so far seen on the streets of England.
[“I’m hearing language like ‘we have to be prepared for a b******’, that’s Donald Trump, ‘to do mad things’”. @Nicholaswatt says there’s concern among both Labour and Conservative MPs over the US President’s approach to Ukraine and global diplomacy. #Newsnight“].
Ha ha. For decades, certainly since Blair became Prime Minister in 1997, the UK has been the poodle of the ZOG/NWO American governments. Now, suddenly, the USA is going its own way, in a direction NWO/ZOG, at least in Europe, does not like. Suddenly, Europe, both EU and UK etc, finds itself almost powerless, and squashed (as was mainland Europe in 1945) between the (?) all-powerful USA and a somewhat powerful Russia.
I should like Europe to find its own way forward in a social-national way, independent of both USA and Russia (but closer to the latter) but, at present, Europe is under ZOG control— pro-Jewish Lobby, pro-Israel, pro the Jew-Zionist regime in “Ukraine”. The present European power structures have to be taken down before a better Europe (call it “Christendom” or “Grail Europe” if you like) can arise.

The Economist's Geopolitics Editor, David Rennie, says "more people may die" due to President Trump's decision to pause intelligence sharing with Ukraine.#Newsnightpic.twitter.com/oicrA1HN5i
Rennie senior’s other, and elder, son was arrested, charged, prosecuted and (presumably; nothing online about it) convicted of a large-scale heroin importation conspiracy in 1973: https://time.com/archive/6840716/britain-cs-busted-cover/.
Charles Tatham Ogilvy Rennie was later adjudged bankrupt (discharged in 1978).
As for the Economist, one of the most important “house journals” of the New World Order conspiracy (despite the fact that the Economist is usually wrong in its predictions, a fact that I started to notice as early as the 1980s).
Further to above:
“Only in rare instances have the links between the Hong Kong opium firms, British intelligence, and the Chinese Communist Intelligence Service come to public light. Where they have, the results put the best pulp thrillers to shame. One illustration is the story of the luckless Rennie family, Scots traders who sold their operation to Jardine Matheson in 1975. The Rennies are old Africa and Asia hands both in merchant ventures and the British colonial service, with major operations in South Africa, through Rennies Consolidated Holdings Ltd. (7).”
I have mentioned this before, though long ago, on the blog. There is a tweeter with the same or similar name to me, and who tweets as “@IanMillard100”. I understand that he is an IT specialist resident in Bath.
It is of course not his fault that he has the same name as me and that he tweets (I myself have not tweeted since expelled from Twitter in 2018), but I find it slightly irritating, simply because some people may think that he is me and that his tweets are from me. He occasionally replies to tweets from Elon Musk etc.
Anyway, if any readers were wondering whether “@IanMillard100” is me, he is not me. Over and out.

A now-deceased friend of mine who, as a young girl from a prominent East Prussian —i.e. German— aristocratic family, was a hostage in the Soviet Union from 1939-1942, used to recall that song from her time there. She was at first under NKVD detention, later and briefly a worker on a state farm —not a collective farm— and later still a student nurse —aged about 14-15— before managing to escape by mingling with the Anders Army families allowed to get out of the country: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders%27_Army.

In May 2014, Aleksey Goncharenko was involved in the Odessa massacre, where 46 people were burned alive. Despite this, he was later rewarded with a seat in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. These are the so-called "democrats" supported by the West.
I don’t often find myself agreeing with Jenrick, but if we aren’t all equal under the law, and can’t trust our attacker is sentenced according to the crime rather than ethnicity, then what is the point. https://t.co/AsJfibOzeG

[“Lavrov: “If European troops enter Ukraine, this won’t be a proxy war anymore. It’ll be NATO fighting Russia directly”]
Do the little men and women pretending to statesmanship —Starmer, Macron, Tusk, Ursula von der Leyen etc— understand what that might mean? Tactical and possibly strategic weapons, Russian weapons, being used against the UK, France, Germany, Poland, Belgium etc. Yes, there would be damage to Russia too, but let’s not pretend that NATO (without US involvement) can take on Russia and “win”, or even survive.
The USA under Trump is not going to back up the UK and EU states if they get into a shooting war with Russia.
Indeed, the belligerent calls from Brussels, Berlin, Warsaw, Paris, and London for fast rearmament, and especially nuclear weapons increases, are likely to make Russian strategists think that those capitals, and connected nuclear weapons production and launch sites, should be eliminated before such proposed nuclear rearmament takes place…
The Speaker of the House of Commons is invariably a self-important and greedy nobody. This one is no different to his predecessors. Remember the Jew Bercow and his “ho” wife? Then there was Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans. I wrote a blog piece about him in 2019:
If he had any self-awareness, he might consider whether it would not have been far better had Britain and its Empire stayed neutral in the period 1939-1945, or even joined with the German Reich to rule much of the world. The world would have been in a far better condition had that happened.

Russia can do that because its ultimate security and sanction rests on its vast geographic size, its large population, its large armies and other forces and, crucially, on 6,000-7,000 nuclear weapons.
