As often said on the blog, neither side should be directly targeting civilians.

I not only agree, but also have always said so, both on the blog and generally.

As regular readers of the blog will know, I have little time for Reform UK ideologically, but see it as the only game in town in terms of destroying Lab and Con by 2029. To that end, I think that people in this by-election —specifically— should hold their noses and vote Reform.

A split anti-immigration (etc) vote at the Makerfield by-election will just let in fake-Labour Jewish-lobby puppet Andy Burnham, and that would substantially reduce the chance of Labour getting near-wiped out whenever the next GE is held (in or before 2029).

This country is so screwed…absolutely unbelievable.

The traitor-politicians of the System have imported millions of untermenschen trash of that sort. They should all be put up against a wall.

Please also refer to previous comment.

Stray thought

Just watched a very short Twitter/X clip of Andy Burnham, and had an immediate and unexpected feeling that, if he wins the Makerfield by-election, and if he then takes over the Labour Party, that…Labour will be finished.

I have no logic behind that; I have to admit as much; it was just a feeling, though undeniable.

[will work it out logically another time].

I suppose the fact is that Labour is washed up whichever careerist clown becomes its leader.

[“I created a parliamentary petition to stop the Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre being built in the beautiful British Victoria Tower Gardens—located within a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It was rejected.

The reason being that: ‘it requests action at a local level.’ The current status of the memorial: In January, the ‘UK Holocaust Memorial Act 2026’ became law and:

– Disapplied section 8 of the London County Council (Improvements) Act 1900 which legally required the park to be kept strictly as a public garden.

– Formally granted the government the power to use public funds to construct and operate the memorial and underground learning centre (estimated around £147m–£150m).

Important information: The applicant for the project is the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government: Steve Reed. – Steve Reed: • Member of Labour Friends of ‘israel’ (LFI) • 2 funded trips to ‘israel’ • £155,200 from pro-‘israel’ billionaire Lisbet Rausing • £1,800 from pro-‘israel’ jewish billionaire Trevor Chinn.

Reed works closely with the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation (UKHMF) as the expert advisory board appointed by the government to steer the project. The UKHMF is formed from ‘The Prime Minister’s Holocaust Commission’—launched in January 2014 by then-Prime Minister David Cameron.

The UKHMF is led by two Co-Chairs: The Rt Hon Lord Eric Pickles and The Rt Hon Ed Balls. – Eric Pickles: • Current Chairman of the Conservative Friends of ‘israel’ in the House of Lords. – Ed Balls: • Was an active, long-standing member of LFI throughout his time as a Member of Parliament and Shadow Chancellor.

Other members of the board include the following zionist jews: – Chief Rabbi (Genocide) Ephraim Mirvis Incorporates religious zionism into his official leadership role. – Sir Gerald Ronson CBE Major donor to prominent zionist charities. – The Rt Hon the Lord Feldman of Elstree Closely aligned with Conservative Friends of ‘israel’ (CFI). – Sir Lloyd Dorfman CBE Funds major institutional and cultural projects in ‘israel’. – Lord David Alliance Maintains extensive business and philanthropic ties with ‘israeli’ institutions.

Since the ‘government’ is the applicant, the next step is for a designated Minister to make the ‘independent planning decision’. That minister is: Samantha Dixon MBE MP, the Minister for Building Safety, Fire and Democracy.

Dixon can make one of the following decisions: 1. Approval with Conditions: Granting permission but imposing strict requirements (e.g., specific building materials). 2. Refusal: Denying the planning permission entirely, forcing the government to find an alternative site or fundamentally alter the project. 3. Call for a New Public Inquiry: If new evidence or massive public interest demands it, ordering a fresh, formal public inquiry before making a final determination.

What we can do next:

1. I am resubmitting a national petition The first was rejected as a ‘local’ issue. The new petition will demand national action: calling on the Government to halt public funding for the project and order a fresh, independent Public Inquiry. I will post the link as soon as it is live.

2. Object directly to the decision-maker Minister Samantha Dixon is legally required to review public objections before making her planning decision. Anyone can submit an objection: • Where to write: Email the Planning Casework Unit at MHCLG (pcu@communities.gov.uk). • What to say: Focus on valid ‘material planning considerations’ so it cannot be ignored. Cite the loss of Grade II-listed public green space, visual disruption to the UNESCO Westminster World Heritage Site, and crowd security risks next to Parliament.

3. Demand a Public Paper Petition from your MP If you collect physical signatures on a paper petition and hand it to your local MP, they can present it on the floor of the House of Commons. This legally forces the government to issue a formal, written ministerial response to our concerns. Victoria Gardens is one of Europe’s ‘Most Endangered’ heritage sites Spread the word. Protect the gardens.“]

Even some Jews, indeed even some Zionist Jews, oppose the building of this ugly piece of degraded architecture, an expression of Jew-Zionist supremacism, which will look like a cross between a public loo and a subterranean car park, and many also oppose its being built on the Gardens right next to the Palace of Westminster.

The project shouts out “Look! We are here! We rule! We own this country!

Notice how “they” use non-Jews as figureheads: corrupt politicians and ex-MPs— Pickles. Balls. A few years ago, that corrupt little pissant Robert Jenrick, too.

CAA is a de facto enforcement arm for ‘israel’ on British soil. And it does so while being granted charitable status. Receiving tax breaks. Gift Aid.

Meaning British taxpayers subsidise CAA’s activities.

Our money literally funds their lobbying and legal action against us.

This is how emboldened these zionist political militias are in Britain.

This is why British sovereignty, national independence, and civil liberties are contingent upon shutting down the pro-‘israel’ lobby.“]

Exactly.

Also note how, at a time when many, maybe most, real British people are struggling financially, “they” are able to give, whether as individuals or as families, untold thousands of pounds, adding up to half a million pounds, to support the malicious and perjuring “CAA” Jewish sub-terrorists.

I happened to see a blog post written almost 8 years ago, in 2018. I think that it is still worth reading:

The Israeli Jewish state should never have been allowed to come into existence. It is now a kind of goblin-state, inimical to the peoples of the wider world— and not only those of surrounding Arab and Iranian peoples. Its “fifth column” across the world has infiltrated into many states, many societies, corrupting not only business but also politics, law, legal systems and professions and the mainstream media, as well as publishing and academia.

We see now once again, in Iran, Lebanon etc, how the Israeli state, and its military machine, uses the cover of various alleged events of the early-to-mid 1940s to excuse its evil activity.

Yvette Cooper: Labour Friends of Israel, a fraudulent expenses cheat, and a virtue-signalling “refugees welcome” hypocrite who said that Brits should house migrant-invaders in their own modest homes, while Yvette Cooper and her husband, Ed Balls, owned several houses and flats which (of course) were not used to house non-white invaders but to make even more money for the avaricious and horrible couple.

Fortunately, Yvette Cooper can only talk rubbish on TV, and has no real power.

Years ago, the rockets used by the several anti-Israel forces such as Hezbollah and Hamas, and even states such as Iran, were little more than large fireworks. Gradually, things evolved to the point where they are today. Look ahead 5, 10, 20 years. Israel is doomed.

I have blogged in the past about my visit to the UK’s “germ warfare” (etc) complex at Porton Down in Wiltshire, in or about 1995, and in the company of the then Ukrainian Ambassador to London, a Mr. Kommissarenko or Komisarenko [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko], who was himself a biochemist by training:

“Senior politicians”? Do you mean Starmer-stein, expenses cheat and Israel-puppet Yvette Cooper, and ignorant monkey-on-a-stick Lammy? (etc).

Hardy-ha-ha…

Little puppet-politicians of the Healey type are of no account. Literally nobodies (in the big scheme of things), yet posing as quasi-statesmen for 15 minutes of “fame”.

Not so. Leave NATO, cultivate better relations with a Russia eager to have our friendship, and we in the UK could have not only cheap oil and gas but also a massive market, in Russia, for our goods and services. All that, and also a militarily-powerful friend in the global arena.

Starmer-stein is a very minor politician, not a statesman. The Jewish/Israel lobby made him Labour leader after a campaign of years to trash Labour under Corbyn, so he does whatever the Jewish lobby wants him to do, pretty much, but at the same time is pulled the other way by his remaining voters (a dwindling number, looking at all recent polling), who are mostly either non-whites (mostly Muslim) and anti-Israel, or are English/Welsh/Scottish pro-Palestine people. Result is that Starmer is stuck on the fence most of the time.

Yes. Farage wants Reform to be the largest party after GE 2029, then he can ally himself with the Con Party, be Prime Minister but have a good excuse for not really doing much that most of his voters want. The “usual” (((usual))) suspects have already deeply wormed their way into Reform, largely via Tice. There is now a Reform UK Friends of Israel caucus. Quelle surprise

Having said that, I still want Reform to roll its tanks over Lab and Con at the next General Election. Why? Because once the old parties are trashed, a Reform government will inevitably fail to satisfy the requirements of the British people, thus opening the door to real social-national politics.

People know about the so-called “Stasi” of the old DDR, but often fail to see that the BfV, the security service of the former Bundesrepublik, and of the new Germany, is equally repressive, albeit in a less stark way most of the time.

Take a look at its massive HQ in Cologne (only one of numerous buildings around Germany occupied by the BfV):

Germany enforces so-called “holocaust” “denial” laws (akin to mediaeval heresy laws), and other repressive measures are in place behind the facade of its “liberal” “democracy”.

Incidentally, the current chief of the BfV is an ethnic Turk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinan_Selen.

That, and craven support for Israel and the UK Jewish lobby…

Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper were exposed as both freeloaders and actual fraudsters in 2009, and were very lucky not to be prosecuted.

Electoral Calculus gives both Reform and Cons far more seats on the same figures; Labour, LibDems, and SNP far fewer. Same basic picture though— Reform far ahead of all others, especially in terms of seats.

I think that it would be socially acceptable to have official firing squads in public places for many of the guilty. That would serve several purposes: justice for victims and their families, retribution visited upon the perpetrators and their often-guilty families and clans, and also a feeling in the country that untermenschen are finally being put in their place, and that Britain has drawn a line in the sand.

I remain opposed to capital punishment in general, and regard the above policy as a necessary demonstration of social cleansing, rather than “punishment” in a legalistic sense.

Join the club…

If the USA and Israel (tail wags dog…) are going to attack Iran and attempt regime change, then there is no reason for Iran not to launch every last missile and drone against Israel.

Dimona, central Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion Airport. Spare a few for Ra’anana, too.

When will the world get rid of…[REDACTED]?

The [Israeli] Jews bomb families forced by earlier bombing to live in tents. They have no ethics, no morals, no decency, no shame.

The same is true of those in the UK and elsewhere that support Israel’s behaviour.

Interesting.

Since I last blogged, a day or so ago, about the Gorton and Denton by-election, it has become clear that Labour’s stock is sinking, both in the constituency and across the country.

As blogged before, the 30% of the voters of Gorton and Denton who are Muslim are mainly, probably, going to dump Labour because of the largely Jewish and Zionist nature of the Starmer-stein misgovernment, something which has been put into even sharper focus by the scandal-news of recent days: Epstein, Mandelson, Ghislaine “Maxwell” etc. All Jewish.

As for the ~68% of local voters who are mostly white English/British, the deadheaded antics of the fake Labour government over the past 18 months will have pretty much trashed the Labour “brand”. I really cannot see more than a core of old-style Labour tribalists staying loyal.

Reform were already the second-placed party in Gorton and Denton even at GE 2024, though on little more than a quarter of the Labour vote. About 14% as against over 50%.

The story now is that a very high proportion of former Labour voters will go Green. How high, though, is uncertain. Some former Labour voters (some of the white ones, basically) will go to Reform, others will not vote at all.

Elections and by-elections are all about the numbers, and the numbers here are speculative.

If Labour’s 2024 vote of over 50% reduces, as it well might, attacked as it is from at least two directions, to about 30% or even 20%, then even if many refuse to vote, there must be a big chunk going to both Green and Reform. My money is on Reform, on the basis that Reform is the only party of any size standing on its policy mix at the by-election. Anyone supporting those ideas etc will vote Reform, as will tactical voters from the no-chance Con Party direction.

The anti-Reform vote is split, but at GE 2024, the Greens were only just behind Reform (about 13% as against Reform’s 14%); Labour’s 50%+ put the total anti-Reform vote in 2024 at around 64%. However, that was then.

As of today, my feeling is that Reform may end up with about 35% of votes cast, and the Greens perhaps a similar figure. Labour, I cannot see getting more than about 20%. The news every day just gets worse for Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel cabal.

If I had to guess today, my guess would be that Labour has almost no chance of holding the seat, but between the Greens and Reform, I cannot say. Maybe Reform, despite almost all the non-whites probably defecting from Labour to the Greens.

The fact is, that most people in the UK are appalled by the behaviour of Israel and the supporters of Israel in the UK. The result of that is that, despite clear evidence of what happened, persons plainly guilty from a straight legalistic point of view are acquitted because the jury obviously thought that their actions were justified by reason of political or social motivation, i.e. because of the mass slaughter being (even today) carried on by the Jews in Gaza against a defenceless and mainly civilian population.

The jury was probably also hostile to what the supporters of Israel get up to in the UK— profiting from arms and other production, repressing free speech, other exploitative behaviour, and trying to take over every aspect of British politics etc.

The unfortunate policewoman was “collateral damage” in a kind of war, just as the tens of thousands of babies and small children of Gaza, killed or mutilated by Israeli Jews, are “collateral damage” according to Israel and its supporters.

The verdict today does not sit especially well with me, mainly by reason of the attack on the policewoman, and the injuries sustained by her but, well, that’s war.

If Angela Rayner were to take over from Starmer-stein and so become Prime-Minister-by-default, she would not have to hold a general election until 2029. The British voters (the real ones) will never accept an ignorant “chavscum” woman and expenses cheat as Prime Minister, and would, at that election, remove her, and 90% of Labour MPs with her.

Incidentally, the “Sam Tarry” mentioned in that tweet is Rayner’s boyfriend, a horrible little bastard and ex-MP, who worked for or with the Jewish “anti-fascist” cabals “Hope not Hate” and Searchlight (magazine).

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

I blogged about Israel-puppet McSweeney recently. Now his head is on the block, albeit not literally.

Acting as advocatus diaboli, I suppose that Starmer could outflank his rivals by simply calling an election. If recent opinion polls are accurate, all the present rivals for Starmer’s purple would be likely to lose their seats— Angela Rayner, Streeting etc.

Starmer’s seat is one of the safest Labour seats. He would probably retain it. The downside would be, however, that Starmer would then not be Prime Minister, merely leader of a small Labour contingent (quite likely under 100 seats, possibly under 75). He might not even be Leader of the Opposition (if the LibDems were to get more seats).

More seriously, if Mandelson is (according to Starmer) someone who betrayed “this country” (meaning the UK), then what does that say about Starmer-stein himself, and all the other Labour Friends of Israel, every last one a puppet of Israel and the Jewish lobby)?

Secondly, no-one opposes anyone merely taking a holiday, or even maybe a short-term working holiday, in the UK, but that is not to be equated with those who wish to settle in the UK (whether working or not).

Thirdly, when did British young people ever work, in any but tiny numbers and/or during holidays etc (such as grape-picking in France), overseas?

This is where Labour (and the other System parties) are now— in a world of unreality.

That Patriot system has not the numbers to stop 1,000 drones at once, nor the capability of stopping hypersonic missiles etc.

Ecce the contemporary type of political journalist. Dan Hodges thinks that the above poll is bad for Farage and Reform. What I see there is that 44% of people polled support an end to grants of indefinite leave to remain, and 13% are unsure, so might also support that. 57% in all. Even deportation of some of those with existing ILR is supported by 29% and at least not opposed by 13%. 42% in all.

If Reform can top 30% in a general election, with all other parties below that level, and especially if the System parties each poll below 25%, then political earthquake will result, even if Reform does not get a Commons majority. In fact, if Reform only gets a plurality of Commons seats, and so is weak in government, that in itself will stimulate a popular demand for social national revolution.

Lenin did not have anything like a majority (had there been any election) in 1917. The NSDAP in 1932 got 33.7% in the first election and 33.1% in the second. Lesson: carry a third of the people with you, against a disunited front of opponents, and you can take over.

Stray thought

I have seen continuing news reports, for 2 days now, about the terrible funicular railway crash in Lisbon: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62lmed42p1o.

Not just TV news reports, but reports leading the TV news.

This seems to me like overkill, really. After all, terrible as the crash was, killing 16 people, it was 2 days ago, no-one is still trapped or requiring rescue, plenty of major news is happening elsewhere and, in the end, this did not even happen in the UK. A straightforward crash incident, which happened in seconds, or a few minutes, which was a one-off incident, and the causes of which will no doubt be investigated (very likely a cable problem, possibly metal fatigue, and insufficient maintenance). Yet the BBC and Sky News still have reporters on the scene. Why? Enough.

Angela Rayner

Well, Angela Rayner, whose “resistible rise” must have given hope to ambitious, brainless, cultureless “chav” women all over Britain, is now gone: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/sep/05/angela-rayner-stands-down-over-stamp-duty-row.

Whatever the exact rights and wrongs of Angela Rayner’s (latest) property purchase, the background to the matter was the “fill your boots” mentality with which this Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment is suffused.

It became known a year ago that Angela Rayner had accepted gifts of clothes, I think also cash donations, and free trips to noisy vulgar clubs in Ibiza, the appalling nightclub, drink, and drugs island. Not that she was alone in accepting “freebies”. Her boss, Starmer-stein, had accepted clothes for himself and his Jewish wife, and even free eye-glasses!

Angela Rayner also postponed, on rather spurious grounds, some of the previously-scheduled 2025 UK local elections, which postponements—whatever the reasons for postponement— looked bad at a time when Labour was already losing ground greatly to Reform UK.

The postponed local elections will now not take place until May 2026. Both Labour and Conservative parties must be dreading them.

That whole “fill your boots” or “make hay while the sun is shining” mentality, which pervades Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel cabal, was also a major factor putting paid to the Conservative Party’s electoral chances in 2024, after years of crony-corruption under (mainly) “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss (briefly, in her 49 days as PM), and the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

So what now for Angela Rayner? She had been puffed as the successor to Starmer. Perhaps, though that seems far less likely now, bearing in mind the public perception of her. Some may think her a greedy, moneygrasping, “typical MP”; others say “it was not her fault, because she failed to take obvious steps to avoid the situation which arose“. Well, so not dishonest, simply careless and/or clueless? Not a very good impression either way.

In any case, Labour is now facing a really major challenge from Reform UK, which is really just the public’s proxy method for “getting rid of both Lab and Con“. The idea that Angela Rayner might be the next Prime Minister always seemed to me unlikely to happen, and now seems a very remote possibility indeed.

As to Rayner herself, the resignation will hit her rather hard financially. Loss of her Government position means that her salary is halved, she now being left with “only” the (just under) £94,000 p.a. MP salary (and attendant expenses). She now also loses whatever access she may have had to the country houses used on weekends by Government ministers. There are smaller hits as well, such as loss of the government cars and drivers that ferry ministers around.

Wider political fallout? Well, just another hit that Starmer could have done without. The Reform annual conference is taking place now, and Angela Rayner may be good ammunition for Farage. Also, the news will mute any criticism of Reform people for whatever they may say during the conference.

In any case, people are intending to vote Reform to stamp on Lab and Con, so anything negative in the msm about Farage and Reform will not, I think, have much effect, because people already know that Farage and especially his cohorts are not the best and brightest. That makes little difference to how people are intending to vote.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/sep/05/fears-for-england-riverbank-habitats-amid-relaxed-post-brexit-rules

Huge tracts of precious riverside habitats for water voles and other wildlife in England are being lost as they are not covered by post-Brexit farming rules, campaigners warn.

New analysis by the Wildlife Trusts found more than 400 square km of riverside habitat in England may have been lost since the UK left the EU in 2020.

Under the common agricultural policy (CAP), which subsidised farming when the UK was in the bloc, farmers had to keep a 2-metre buffer between their fields and the rivers. But with the UK’s exit from the CAP, farmers may try to increase their income by ploughing to the edge of their field – an area that, at present, is unprofitable for them.

As well as being a critical habitat for wildlife, waterway banks are home to plants that filter pollution from the water.

[Guardian]

As regular readers of the blog know, I am not very pleased about the farming lobby. Not all farmers are greedy, moneygrasping, environmentally-destructive nuisances, but many are.

I remember that on TV from the early 1960s, when I was about 5 or 6 years old.

For me, the point is not that Nadine Dorries is an idiotic woman, an expenses-blodger and outright fraud, or that “Boris”-idiot and Liz Truss are nominally (and only nominally) better-educated versions of the same brainless type, but that the whole political system we now have in the UK promotes such cretins, selects them as candidates etc.

My view is that the Reform candidates are relatively unpolished, most of them, so the relative absence of the bright lights of msm publicity and exposure might actually help Reform. That may sound cynical, but the old System parties are just waiting for Farage’s candidates to slip on banana skins.

So former fraudulent expenses-cheat and puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby, Ed Balls (husband of similar Yvette Cooper; they are both members of Labour Friends of Israel) has his latest rubbish political prediction blown out of the water only one day after he made it! An idiotic person, despite the quite academic CV; hugely over-promoted.

Ukraine

https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-kursk-breakthrough-russia-1957732

Ukrainian paratroopers fighting in Russia’s Kursk region have “broken through” into a new, unspecified section of the Russian border, a Ukrainian brigade said Monday as battles rage on inside Russia and various parts of eastern Ukraine.

Fighters with Ukraine’s 95th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade “have broken through a section of the Russian border,” the brigade said in a post to the messaging app Telegram.

This is the second successful operation to break through the Russian border since the start of the operation in the Kursk region of Russia,” the brigade said. The Ukrainian brigade did not specify where along the border fighters had “broken through” or when the reported operation took place.

Ukraine is more than six weeks into its surprise incursion into Kursk, which borders the country’s northeast. Kyiv said in early September that it had captured 100 settlements and around 500 square miles of territory as Moscow sluggishly attempted to fend off the advance.

In recent weeks, Western analysts have suggested that Russia has reclaimed territory south of Korenovo, which, along with the town of Sudzha to the southeast, was a focus of Ukraine’s push.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this past Friday that the offensive against Kursk had pulled approximately 40,000 Russian soldiers into the area.

[Newsweek]

I see few if any analyses in the msm as to the Kiev-regime strategic plan in relation to the Kursk incursion.

After all, Russia is not some sparsely-populated part of Africa, almost a terra nullius. It would be simply impossible, to take the thought ad absurdum, for the Kiev regime to push beyond Kursk city; and even if that were ever to happen, what then? Advance the remaining 327 miles (527 km) to Moscow? How would the Kiev regime keep its columns supplied? How could it ward off flanking attacks? Answer: it couldn’t.

Also, having (notionally) reached the Moscow region, how could a few thousands or tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops take and then control a city with an urban population of about 18M, and a metro-area population of 22M? (with many more millions in the region). Answer: they could not.

Of course, my argument is rather a straw man; the idea of the Kiev-regime forces getting even beyond the city of Kursk (and they have not even managed to get that far so far) is ridiculous. They have neither the manpower nor the resupply capability.

Incidentally, the Russian Army, overall, has an active host of about 1.5M soldiers, not including all reserves and quite-easily-mobilized others.

My main point is that Zelensky’s Kursk incursion has no strategic sense behind it. There is no point to it beyond (as I blogged when it happened, 6 weeks ago) making a public relations display to the Western states supplying the Kiev regime with money, arms, ammunition, and other materiel.

We are told that the big idea behind the Kursk incursion was to draw away Russian troops from the Donetsk front. Well, all right (and it is at least claimed that the Russians have redeployed 40,000 troops to the Kursk region, though it is unclear what proportion were from the Donetsk front), but Russian forces are still advancing strongly on the Donetsk front, even without the transferred 40,000 or however many.

As far as I can see, the Kursk incursion was strategically misconceived and achieves nothing, and would achieve nothing even were Russian troops to simply withdraw and allow the Kiev-regime forces to remain in loose occupation of the border area in that sector, or even the whole of the Kursk oblast.

Of course, Putin and his Stavka (high command) cannot do that (withdraw, in the manner of Kutuzov) because Russian public opinion would not allow it (the apparent conquest of Russian territory, unchallenged).

It is all very well to say that “Russia does not have public opinion” but even a near-autocrat such as Putin must take his people’s sensibilities into account.

The “smart move” would be to withdraw and withdraw into the Russian prostor (endless space), but that is politically impossible. The Russian forces therefore block further Kiev-regime advances in the Kursk region, while pounding the resupply route or routes to the west, inside Ukraine itself, in the border area.

On the Donetsk front, the Kiev-regime forces are falling back: https://www.slobodenpecat.mk/en/ruskata-armija-uspea-da-ja-probie-ukrainsakta-odbrana-kaj-ugledar/.

I too expected Starmer-Labour to crash and burn fairly quickly, and said so on the blog well prior to the 2024 General Election, as well as immediately following it.

Firstly, because only 4 out of 20 people voted Labour in 2024; secondly, because Labour’s “diversity”/pro-Israel/”austerity”/pro-immigration policies are all the exact opposite of what most people want; thirdly, the sheer rock-bottom quality of most Labour MPs and ministers. Lammy is only one of many such.

Starmer and his freeloading cabal are smug inside their fake “landslide” Commons majority. They think nothing can touch them for 4 years or more. That is what the “Conservative” Party MPs thought about their own situation not so long ago.

Apres— le deluge

A lot of that is because Starmer was a barrister from age 24 (having been to university for both a first degree and a post-graduate one): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer.

As a former barrister myself (later wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred for political reasons at the behest of the Jewish lobby), I was sometimes surprised at how naive many barristers are, especially those who (unlike me) had never done any other kind of work.

Even today, when the Bar is more “diverse” (and far less prestigious) than it used to be, it remains to some extent a cloistered bubble. Starmer spent his professional life in that bubble before swapping it for another bubble, the Westminster Bubble.

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

Look at his reactions to the street protests. He immediately retreated into his comfort zone (he was DPP for several years) and started to threaten people with long sentences of imprisonment and (quite wrongly) “no bail pending trial and/or sentence”.

Even before GE 2024, I was warning about Starmer on the blog, noting Khrushchev’s view of Malenkov and about how to elevate the “file clerk type” to supreme power was always a mistake.

Starmer is isolated psychologically for a number of reasons. His professional Bar background. His years as DPP and, before that, as “human rights adviser” to the police and (I think, not sure) MI5 in Northern Ireland. His marriage to a part-Jewish woman, their children being brought up as if Jewish (despite being in fact only 1/4 Jewish), meaning that Starmer engages in all those Jewish ritual dinners and religious commemorations etc.

There is another point. Starmer has always had plenty of money, at least after his student days. He took letters patent as QC (now KC) at age 39. You are talking about an income, for much of his professional life, in the hundreds of thousands per year. Naturally, he finds it hard to understand or care about British pensioners trying to afford heating and other expenses.

I believe that I am correct in stating that Starmer and his wife also own a number (maybe 8) buy-to-let properties.

Starmer should never have become Prime Minister.

Another idiot who thinks that she is terribly clever. Another would-be dictator. Another member of Labour Friends of Israel…

In fact, Yvette Cooper was investigated by the police for fraud arising out of her expenses claims during the 2005-2010 Parliament, and was lucky to escape prosecution, along with her equally-moneygrasping husband, Ed Balls.

Yes. She held up a “refugees welcome” placard. She encouraged the migration-invasion of this country by blacks and browns (etc) from all the worst parts of the world.

I have blogged in the past about my own experiences: the UK police absolutely useless in doing what most people would regard as their headline job, but pathetically eager to do the bidding of the Jewish lobby in repressing free speech and freedom of expression by me and others.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan…

717 invaders landed yesterday, 707 the day before (etc). 1,424 in 48 hours. Each costs about £200 a day to shelter, feed, give pocket-money, provide services.

Sounds as if Clarkson, of whom I have never much liked the look, has mellowed, or at least learned a little.

He might have added (if he knows) that, while well over 4M people voted Reform UK (more than voted for the LibDems, or the Greens), fewer than 7M voted Conservative, and fewer than 10M voted Labour.

Labour, for all its supposed “landslide”, got only two and a half times the number of votes of Reform UK; not even, in fact.

Out of every 20 eligible voters, only 4 voted Labour. Con 3. Reform UK 2. LibDem 2. Green 1. 8 did not bother to vote.

I know that I make the point almost daily, but people must understand that this Starmer-Labour government or “elected” dictatorship has no real legitimacy, no real mandate. The msm is presenting a false narrative about the General Election.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results

Fanatical Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson claiming that the National Front “plotted to blow up Jews“. Untrue. Ahistorical nonsense. The National Front was a genuine and legitimate political party, albeit a fairly small or even fringe one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Front_(UK). Apparently, it still exists, at least in name.

In the 1970s, the National Front was the fourth-largest party in terms of both members and votes, certainly the latter.

As for Myerson, who operates out of Leeds and Manchester, he was recently removed as a Recorder (p/t judge) after having repeatedly abused people on Twitter/X etc, and after having failed to listen to initial “advice” (in effect, an admonishment or reprimand) from the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.

It may well be that some particular individual NF supporter or member plotted as described by Myerson; have members of the System parties never committed any crimes?

I was once in Hungary, for about a week, and 24 years ago (2001). I never went to Budapest, and travelled from the Romanian frontier to the Austrian frontier (which was then also the EU frontier), staying at Szeged (a pleasant town on the river Tisza) and then in a former Soviet-style “sanatorium” (hotel) by Lake Balaton, where my wife and I had a suite with its own external staircase to the lawned gardens which ran down to the lake, in which I was able to swim.

There was a small bust of Lenin in the bar (in the days of socialist rule, pre-1990, there may or may not have been a bar, but there was in 2001).

I liked what I saw of Hungary: civilized, and the people, the ones I met, reliable and decent.

Starmer and Yvette Cooper are tendentious anti-Brit people. They come out of a history of promoting mass immigration into the UK, and are really traitors to the future of the British people. Both members of Labour Friends of Israel.

Yvette Cooper and Ed Balls, when both were MPs, were expenses cheats and freeloaders; criminals. Now she, a would-be dictator, and member of Labour Friends of Israel, is trying to shut down what free speech still exists. Evil.

There are those on “both sides” trying to frame these fights and protests as revolving solely around white people opposed to Islamism and/or Pakistani Muslims.

The rioting Gypsies of Harehills (Leeds) are not Muslim; neither is the alleged Southport killer. All, however, are non-white, non-European, non-British in any real sense.

If that is accurate, and is what Putin has said, it may mean that he has come to certain conclusions about a possible, and possibly inevitable, “solution”.

Not only is there “two-tier policing” in the UK, but there is also two-tier reporting.

I watched a few minutes of a BBC report from a protest in the North of England yesterday evening. The geeky reporter said that he had just been talking to a leader of the “counter-protest” (unnamed, and not described, other than as said; may have been non-white, Jewish, or an English anarchist or Communist, we do not know), who had given his view. Needless to say, the unverified, anonymously-provided information provided by the said “leader of the counter-protest” was neither challenged by the BBC reporter nor balanced by any view from the English protesters. Typical.

Suddenly, we hear the mouthpieces of “the usual suspects” (e.g. Priti Patel, John Woodcock/”Lord Walney” etc) demanding the recall of Parliament.

Is this Starmer-Labour’s “Reichstag Fire” moment, when very repressive laws and/or “temporary” “measures” will be enacted by Starmer at the behest of (((those behind Starmer))), thus enabling a real police state (modelled on, inter alia, the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic regulations) to come into being?

Fanatical loonie Jew-Zionist Lee Kern describes England, or Britain, or the UK, as a “shithole”. He was, I think, born here, brought up here, and worked here, but has as little real connection with our country as some untermensch straight off a rubber boat on the beaches of Kent.

I saw the same phenomenon, though couched rather more politely (surprisingly) when the egregious lawyer, Mark Lewis, abandoned the UK for Israel (he is still returning from time to time to make money, though); that was in 2018, after he was found guilty in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal.

As for “sense of purpose” in Israel, its only sense of purpose has to do with its losing struggle to survive. I do not know how long the Israeli state can survive, but former heads of MOSSAD and Shin Beth seem pessimistic about it. Arab populations increasing, Israeli population static; nuclear weapons being developed in Iran; conventional heavy weapons being developed in states around Israel.

It is true that we have a severe illegal immigration problem, it is true that it is costing the taxpayers billions, it is true that some awful crimes have been committed by these and asylum seekers, it is true that thousands of Hospitality jobs have been lost by housing them in hotels, it is true that social housing is being depleted by this problem. If you’re trying to shut down accounts that highlight that, you’re not for free speech, you’re an authoritarian nut case.

The pro-immigration types have always liked the British people to assume either that migration(-invasion) is cost-free, or that it actually benefits the UK. It’s rubbish. The overall costs are enormous.

“Hope not Hate”, the misnamed mainly Jewish, and tendentious, “antifascist” organization, supported by some System MPs etc, is apparently now partly-funded by taxpayer monies, a fact of which I was previously unaware.

Note that the guilty party is “Lowles”, not “Knowles“.

I have, for a number of months, if not longer, raised concerns about Starmer, who always reminds me of Khrushchev’s view of Malenkov, i.e. that Malenkov was a “file-clerk type; such people should never be given power, and are dangerous” [see https://www.amazon.co.uk/Khrushchev-Remembers-Nikita-Sergeevich/dp/0316831409].

Look at Starmer. His first crisis as Prime Minister, and what does he do? He retreats to his “legal people” comfort zone. He does not even attempt to unite a country being pulled in different directions by centrifugal forces, as a real leader would.

Starmer threatens new repressive powers, “night courts”, no bail for accused persons (which is beyond his lawful power anyway), prison sentences (ditto). He supports, basically, one side, or rather is against one side, the British side, if you like.

Starmer’s attempt to create fear, eg among those on social media, has had some effect, not on the “bottle-throwers” but on entirely decent English people, many of at least middle-age, who have deleted tweets (often saying simply that they have been labelled “thugs” by Starmer).

Meanwhile, the brainless police have been shown on Twitter/X “bravely” kicking in the door of a lone woman who attended a protest. What else, if anything, did she do? If the police behave like a poundland KGB or Stasi, then public respect for them will (further) plummet.

Well, here we are, one month and one day into the Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship.

Oh, and another few hundred, or thousand, migrant-invaders will have crossed the Channel today, ferried in by Border Force and the RNLI (and another thousand —or possibly three thousand— “legal migrants” will have entered the UK via ferries and airliners).

Britain’s poundshop Stasi…

Watch that police “officer” in the clip, her smug attitude, hands in pockets, and the whole attitude of both police. Superficially not harsh, but arresting someone who sounds about 80 for comments (no doubt about the ghastly state of this poor country) made on Facebook!

Police state, even if it is (still? so far?) a “velvet glove” one most of the time.

I think that the time has come, inter alia, for me to share with my dear readers an event that happened at least a month ago. About 5 or 6 weeks ago.

Mid-evening after a warm day. I think a Saturday. Not sure. About 2030. Knock at door. Uniformed policeman there. Had never seen him previously. “Hello, what’s the problem?“; to which he answers “why would there be a problem?“, at which I have to politely explain that my wife and I do not have the police at our door every day…

It turns out that I am being questioned (and filmed on bodycam) for tweets made on Twitter/X. I am told right from the start that “there is no need to worry“, because the matter had “already been NFA’d“, meaning “No Further Action”.

I was too surprised by being buttonholed to ask why, in that case, a policeman had once again come to my door (not that exact policeman, but in the past decade, several real police and/or joke “PCSO” fake police).

The policeman showed me a kind of photostat or copy of what might have been a tweet, but he objected when I tried to take or (as my wife says I always do) snatch the paper to look at it properly (once a barrister, always a barrister…).

The heading seemed to be something like “Ian#IStandWithCorbyn

Anyway…I told the police that I had actually not had a Twitter/X account, nor tweeted anything at all, for about six years, since 2018, when a pack of Jews (I diplomatically put it as “a Jewish organization“) had complained about me to —pre-Elon Musk— Twitter, as a result of which Twitter had shut down my account permanently (and that I had never bothered to reinstate the account).

After that, the policeman, absurdly, would not let me examine the tweet or tweets, on the basis that the material would be confidential if not mine (why, if the tweet was public anyway?). The police today need a Franz Kafka to chronicle their absurd rules and protocols.

Anyway, after that, and a joke or two (from me), the policeman thanked me and departed stage left (not pursued by a bear, sadly).

So the police can send someone over a claimed tweet allegedly by me, which tweet had already been marked as “NFA” but, when a wheel was stolen from my car about 18 months ago, they did absolutely nothing. Useless.

I was too surprised to ask why they thought that the “Ian” of the tweet (if he even exists) was thought to have been me. Do the police think that no-one else in the UK is called Ian? God knows.

No wonder crime is flourishing, when the police seem to be uninterested in, and indeed incapable of doing, their proper job, yet take seriously malicious complaints from (((the usual suspects))) about supposed comments on Twitter/X, Facebook etc.

Who would best chronicle the way Britain now is— Franz Kafka, or Lewis Carroll?

Then the “liberal” System/msm types are all in favour of locking people up for merely stating a view, let alone actually attending a protest…

Plymouth could be a great city, but isn’t. Badly-run for decades, basically.

As to the protests generally, BBC News dragged out Brendan Cox, the sex-pest of years ago, whose MP wife was assassinated. Cox was at one time getting hundreds of thousands a year from charities for his salaried work. One of the “favoured” of the present System set-up and its msm.

Mass immigration has affected, and largely ruined, huge areas of British life— housing provision, pay levels, State benefits, including pensions, crime, terrorism, the roads, railways, education, culture generally, even water supply.

Quite. Just like would-be tyrant-woman Yvette Cooper, who even had the gall to say that British families should allow migrant-invaders to stay in their homes. Needless to say, she and her equally-expenses-cheating husband, Ed Balls (who together own several houses and flats) are not accommodating any migrant-invaders.

Fear? Think how many Muslims there now are in the UK (England especially). Nearly 4 million. Most are quiescent most of the time but, if inflamed by their own leaders, and/or by pro-active policing, and if organized (even locally) they could easily take down both the police and the now-very-depleted Army. Think about it.

English people are generally not organized when it comes to political protesting. Usually easily-controlled by the authorities.

In a sense, the migration-invasion of the UK (and Europe generally) is the tsunami overshadowing the smaller events under it (such as the present urban upheavals in England).

The new and rubbish “Labour”-label Government talks a hard game, but behind that, the migration-invasion continues unchecked, unabated. Sooner or later, this society will break, whatever political pygmies of the Yvette Cooper and Starmer type may say (or do).

Reminds me of the last days of the German Reich, with Hitler and the generals of the OKW (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht—German High Command) moving wooden plaques, representing SS-Panzer and other forces, mostly by then non-existent, across huge maps, while, not so far away, the enormous Soviet armies advance relentlessly, ever closer to Berlin.

For younger or non-Brit people who do not get the above tweet:

Bad blood…

“He is the eldest of four boys. His father is Sir Peter Osborne, 17th Baronet, co-founder of the firm of fabric and wallpaper designers Osborne & Little. George Osborne is to inherit the baronetcy; he would thus become Sir George Osborne, 18th Baronet.[7] His mother is Felicity Alexandra Loxton-Peacock, the daughter of Hungarian-born Jewish[8][9] artist Clarisse Loxton-Peacock (née Fehér).[4][10]

[Wikipedia]

In May 2018, The Daily Telegraph reported that Osborne and his siblings had discovered “with delight” that their maternal grandmother Clarisse Loxton-Peacock (a Hungarian émigrée) was Jewish, and therefore that in Jewish law they are Jewish too.”

[Wikipedia]

Of course, we go by modern biological science, not 3,000-year-old ideas from a backward tribe, so for us Osborne is merely part-Jew.

Still, isn’t it a strange co-incidence? Or series of “co-incidences”: David Cameron-Levita— part-Jew; George Osborne— part-Jew; Theresa May, part-Jewish too; “Boris” Johnson also part-Jew…

You only have to look at the newspapers to see that that is so. The national ones do not carry the whole story. You see the picture better in the local newspapers (whether print or online). Even quite violent criminals with long and bad records are getting, quite often, suspended sentences, or even such leniency as conditional discharges.

As for thefts, unless the value involved is prodigious, a non-custodial sentence is the norm. Indeed, even where the record is very long and there are aggravating factors, e.g. having committed a “minor” theft (which can still be into the hundreds of pounds) during the currency of a suspended sentence, the time given is usually something like 1 or 2 months, meaning that the convict will be released in, quite likely, a couple of weeks (half of the headline sentence, minus any time spent in custody, but also administrative early release in many cases).

How long is a “long” record? In many cases, not even dozens but even hundreds of convictions, if relatively minor. For example, a shoplifting offence where the value is less than £200 carries a maximum sentence of 6 months in prison, in theory, but a more typical result is a penalty notice and fine of £80 rather than a trial, if the matter is admitted.

In fact, most smallish thefts of that sort never get to court, or even to the police (who now usually only attend stores if there has been a struggle of some sort). It is often left to the store staff to sort out (eg by expelling and banning the perpetrator). That’s when the perpetrator is caught at all.

See also: https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/magistrates-court/item/theft-general/.

If you look at local newspapers, you often see that, before a minor offender such as a shoplifter is imprisoned, the defendant will usually have been caught and convicted dozens and perhaps caught (and/or seen) by shop staff hundreds of times, and even then the sentence of imprisonment might be measured in weeks, maybe 10 weeks or similar, meaning out in about a month.

Not that I am a “hanger and flogger”, far from it, but it has become a bit of a joke.

The same is even true of offences involving violence, not uncommonly.

I noticed in the newspapers recently a trial of a gang involved in a series of high-value ATM ram-raids across the South of England. The amount taken was in the hundreds of thousands of pounds, and the damage done to shops and stolen cars (Range-Rovers etc) was even greater. Four or five were convicted at Crown Court. The leader got, I think, over 6 years, but will be released in 3 years; another pair got 3 years (so out in 18 months), and one got a non-custodial sentence.

Of course, say something online about, say, the Jewish lobby, and the police and CPS take much more interest (as the country folds…).

At the same time as the above-discussed cases, Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch) got 2.5 years (so will spend over a year in prison) for being rude about Jews etc on his Internet podcasts! The whole system is now mad. There was another recent case where someone got something like 6 years or more for supposedly having belonged to a banned organization, and also for having a copy (either in print or downloaded from the Internet) of the 1970s manual, The Anarchist’s Cookbook, which is now prohibited in the UK. Just mad.

A lower-cost option would be wooden shelves and a few clean bricks for every shelf. I once, very long ago, had home-made bookshelves like that. Later, I had a library (built in Victorian times), and 2,000 books.

Once again, a naive, no-doubt “bien-pensant” and Guardian-reading (probably quite comfortably-off and 60+) supporter of “Jack Monroe”, one “Margaret kennedy”, believes more or less what she wants to believe, i.e. that “Jack Monroe” sued Lee Anderson MP, even won the case, and is now suing him again.

In fact, of course, “Jack Monroe” never sued Lee Anderson, quite possibly never even intended to do so, but used the empty threat to garner helpful publicity in the msm and on Twitter etc, followed by what seems to have been a fraudulent crowdfunder, the proceeds of which “Jack Monroe” has quite plainly kept and/or spent on whatever she wants for herself. Neither is she now suing him. It’s all a scam (again), people…

That first tweet, though, is from February 2023, so maybe “Margaret”, like many others, has seen the light. As of today, “only” 396 utter mugs are each sending “Jack” between £3.50 and £44 a month, well down from the ~850 of a year ago.

Part-Jew talking head Paul Mason has apparently thrown away his absurd pseudo-socialist or anarcho-syndicalist “beliefs”, and simply become another NWO/ZOG drone. He now champions the finance-capitalist system, the banking system, and even the contrived war in Ukraine. Why he does so is uncertain. I think that maybe he sees himself as a Starmer-Labour MP, and then perhaps, not-far-down-the-line, as Chancellor, and maybe even PM. Why not? I mean, look at the deadheads of the past decade. I would not rule it out.

Look at the tweet below:

I agree, to the extent that this incompetent government has run out of road. Starmer-Labour is “popular” by default, because the misnamed “Conservatives” have given up. As for the electorate— desperate, and so clutching at straws; and if there was ever a “man of straw”, politically, it is Starmer.

These countries have internal problems. There is no desire to send people to die in Ukraine. And the Ukrainians have no one left. Ukrainians are forcibly recruiting people to fill the ranks of their armies. Now the military is trying its best to get out of Ukraine so as not to get to the front. The Russians are apparently killing Ukrainians in 7 to 1 ratio. My son fought there and told me about the artillery. He had skirmishes with the Russians mostly at night, but he said that most of the fights were artillery during the day, and that the Russians now outnumber the NATO forces in artillery 10 to 1 .

One has to look at the big picture— over the past 34 years since 1989, the major enemies of Israel have one-by-one been neutralized, one way or another: Iraq, Egypt, Syria, and also Libya and Lebanon. The only state of importance left standing now is Iran, which under the Shah was not hostile to Israel but became so after the Islamic Republic came into being in 1979. As for the Gulf Arabs, they are venal creatures, and have been well and truly suborned.

The difference lies in the (probable) fact that Peter Tatchell actually still believes in the idea that the UK is “a society under law”, whereas Bilderberg-attendee and Jew-Zionist-lobby puppet, expenses cheat, and fraud, Ed Balls, a globalist System politician turned businessman and talking head, knows from his own experience in government that that is now largely not the case. Yes, the UK has laws (so do North Korea, China etc), but we are less and less the kind of society we used to be, a real “society under law”.

There are several reasons for that, including the malicious Jew-Zionist lobby, which abuses law for its own purposes, and the fact that the UK is less and less a nation, as against being a place where a collection of heterogeneous peoples and types live.

That remark of Balls shows the attitude clearly: “there must have been intelligence“, akin to “we do not make mistakes” (the old 1930s NKVD slogan). In other words, the intelligence trumps any civil or legal right.

I recall in the early/mid 1980s, when a Soviet ensemble came to London (and toured the provinces as well), that there was apparently going to be a demonstration by Jews protesting against the imprisonment of Shcharansky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natan_Sharansky].

The British impressario, and the Russians in charge of the dance group, were told by a sergeant from the Special Branch that the UK authorities were aware that, on the opening night in London, there would be a demonstration by Zionist Jews, but that it would be non-violent and would consist of several Jews rising from their seats (mostly prominent seats in the stalls, i.e. near the stage) and shouting “free Shcharansky!“.

That intelligence turned out to be entirely accurate. Whether Special Branch or the Security Service, MI5, had an agent inside the planning group of the demonstrators, or whether Zionist leaders had met with the UK authorities and then been (in effect) given permission to make the demonstration, on the basis that it would happen at the start of the performance, not be repeated, and not be violent, I do not know.

I cannot now recall the name of the ensemble. I think not the Bolshoi. It was, I think, an ad hoc collection of stars from several Soviet companies. Maybe the “Moscow Classical Ballet”.

I think that the Special Branch even knew in what row of seats almost all the demonstrators would stand up.

Shcharansky was in fact freed not very long after (though it must have seemed a long time from the perspective of a prisoner in a special-regime camp in the Urals), in 1986, in a swap involving several spies. He later became a minister of the Israeli state.

To my surprise, I see that the British impressario [https://ae.linkedin.com/in/peter-b-46459b151] is still rolling; he must be at least in his late seventies now. I believe that he almost went out of business at one time (in the 1980s), but seems to have bounced back irrepressibly. There are people like that.

A nice story

As seen previously, young Ukrainians are increasingly unwilling to die for the Kiev regime and its amateur strategists.

The Kiev regime will either lose this war in the field, or by having its main cities razed to the ground.

Strange fate

What can one say?

Stray memories

Happened to read this, about the Bond Bug car: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_Bug.

I actually rode in one of them once, from Salisbury Plain to Central London. I think that it was the early Autumn of 1978. The driver was a friend of a friend, and we had all, with others, been on a 2-day parachute course.

I seem to recall that our journey to London was on a wet and windy Sunday, which might explain in part why the M4 was almost empty (actually, the motorways were not at all as crowded then, compared to today). Not the most direct route to London, but why that route was chosen, I have no idea (after about 45 years).

I remember the car rocking from side to side in the wind on the M4 (the Bug was a three-wheel car, inherently unstable at speed), and also recall the draught from the insecurely sealed plastic/rubber canopy. God knows what would have happened had we been hit by a real car, let alone a commercial truck. I have no doubt that the feeling of insecurity was well-founded. I do not think that either the driver or I myself wore seatbelts (mandatory seatbelt-wearing only came in in 1983), but I doubt that they would have made any difference. The Bond Bug would have been crushed like a beer can in any accident.

I see now from Wikipedia that the Bond Bug had a top speed of 76 mph (I think that we were travelling at about 60), and that only 2,270 were ever made. They are now collectors’ items, with some fetching around £6,000.

Travelling in the Bond Bug was almost as alarming as having to exit a plane at 2,500 ft.

Happy times? A mixed picture. Less constrained times, perhaps.

More tweets etc

Ha ha! I have blogged before about Novara Media’s ahistorical ignorance about the Russian Revolution, the 70+ years of “socialism” in the Soviet Union, and the several decades of socialism in Eastern and Central Europe.

I have also blogged about my own brief visit to the DDR (East Germany) in 1988; brief but eye-opening, as I was driven through the southern part of the country from Poland to West Germany over a couple of days.

I do not propose to repeat today what I have already written about my 1988 impressions, but in those days East and West Germany were very very different, like an apple next to an orange. Take the autobahn I travelled from Gorlitz on the post-1945 border with what is now Poland to the West German border. That autobahn was either the same as when created in the 1930s by the then National Socialist government, or a poor copy of such autobahnen. In West Germany, though, beautiful autobahnen, with smooth surfacing, proper signage etc (and an absence of the cobbles to which sections of the East German one had been reduced).

It is true that the East Germans tried to make socialism work, whereas the Poles more or less said “yes repeat no“, and carried on a parallel society underneath the official one.

Not that East Germany was completely rotten, but much of it was.

Having said that, West Germany had its own problems. Decadence. Complacency.

As for the reunified Germany, I could see when I was last there (about 20 years ago) that there had been a fall in many ways compared to when it was West Germany— rather untidy cities and towns, crowded autobahnen, and a very obvious non-European infestation in Munich and elsewhere. God knows what it must be like today.

While on the subject of socialist repression etc, just saw this:

Sudan on the TV news

Saw report about Sudan on TV news. Refugees from Sudan crossing into South Sudan (now an independent state). Except that those refugees were originally from South Sudan, and had fled war in South Sudan to go into Sudan. The war in Sudan is worse now than the one in South Sudan.

Who is trying to pick up the humanitarian pieces via aid agencies etc? The white man (from Europe or elsewhere).

How much better it would be if both Sudan and South Sudan were both ruled by Europeans (British ones, in the past)…

The same goes for the rest of Africa (including North Africa).

This may come about not by humanity losing a “war” with robots etc but by humanity simply becoming gradually more enmeshed by (and in) technology which is just too convenient, and which then becomes irremovable.

A 61-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting Matt Hancock on the London Tube.

The alleged attack on the former Health Secretary happened yesterday morning at Westminster Underground station, close to the Houses of Parliament.” [Daily Mirror]

What puzzles me slightly is why Hancock would travel by Underground anyway. He has a salary of £85,000+, generous Parliamentary expenses, and outside earnings (including £400,000 in 2022 for his trash TV appearances) etc. Maybe he is just a moneygrubbing skinflint.

Put a beggar on a horse and he rides it to death” [German proverb].

Looks as though my blog comments about half-Jew Raab, from several years ago, and over several years, have held up pretty well, if I say so myself.

Sending hundreds of tanks to Ukraine (from all over Europe and the USA) is a massive escalation. In reality, even one nuclear missile on London = the UK finished for a hundred years or more. Even one nuclear missile on each of New York, LA, San Francisco, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Houston, Miami, Chicago, Boston = USA finished for decades, maybe a hundred years or more.

Yes, Russia’s major cities and military centres too, but does that help us? No.

This is not the way to go. The escalation has to stop, and then be reversed.

The present UK Defence Secretary is what was once termed “a passed-over major“, a former officer who, when serving, was unlikely ever to reach senior command. Not someone who can be relied on now.

As a matter of fact, Wallace was a mere captain, not even a major, by the end of his service. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician)#Early_life.

Yvette Cooper and her husband, Ed Balls, have several houses, partly bought by the money they ripped off during the expenses-scandal years. Not one houses any so-called “refugees”. Buy-to-let parasites.

Yvette Cooper should be kicked into the political gutter where she belongs. Incidentally, she is yet another Labour Friends of Israel puppet.

Amazing how many deluded or misled people actually think that “Jack Monroe” is busying around, collating useful or relevant data about the cost of food; in fact, she just collates enough to sound superficially credible to those who know no better.

A significant part of the UK population is just useless, and in fact dangerous, made worse by booze or drugs. They may as well be culled.

Not for the first time, though, I find myself musing on what on Earth the police would do were so many of those committing crimes not totally stupid.

Julia Hartley-Brewer— an ignorant know-nothing.

Simon Clarke’s political career, as MP, started in 2017, and will end either this year or next year, so 6-7 years.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Clarke_(politician)].

No-one I know wants a “Labour” (fake) government, but no-one I know wants the present fake “Conservative” omnishambles either, and it will be good to see the anguish on their faces as many lose their seats, salaries, inflated expenses, jobs for wives, husbands, girlfriends, mistresses etc.

In fact, one of the best sights of 2019 was to see how upset were Jew-Zionist-lobby puppets such as Anna Turley, Mary Creagh, Ruth Smeeth etc, as they got turfed out of the House of Commons.

If only [redacted]…

That Tom Harwood person is just another pseudo-national traitor to the people of Britain and the peoples of Europe.

That was what happened in the Royal Navy and the U.S. Navy.

I recall that, when I first lived in the USA, in 1989 or 1990, the first US Navy ship to go mixed-sex was deployed to the Gulf. An aircraft-carrier, I think. The sailors did not object to nearly 100 women sailors joining the crew, but their wives certainly did! With some reason: when the deployment finished, it turned out that about 90 of the —less than 100— women on board had been made pregnant…

As for the Royal Navy, it matters little now, because the Royal Navy scarcely exists as an effective force. Apart from the paucity of ships, there is the question of the quality of many of the officers and men.

I happened to see about 15 mins of a documentary about a British warship. About a third of the complement seemed to be women. The junior officers (men and women) seemed to be incredibly dim, and rather wet (in a non-oceanic way). Drunk, too.

As for the crew, their shore leave in Italy ended with many drunk and near-incapable. Admittedly, rather an old naval tradition, but it was unpleasant to see, especially, the female members of the crew so drunk that they were unable to walk, falling into the gutter in their short skirts, just as they presumably did in the “left behind” UK towns from where many of them must have originated.
