The brutal, corrupt, and shambolic dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky.

The Kiev regime’s crumbling front lines are manned by people dragged off the street kicking and screaming. Little pay, not much rotation out of the front line, and no discharge (until the war ends, which might be years away) for those who escape being killed, horribly wounded, or captured. No wonder Ukrainian men will do anything to avoid being drafted.

[“Zelensky blames the weather for Russian gains on the front lines After a briefing from Commander-in-Chief Syrsky, he called the situation in Pokrovsk and Zaporozhye “difficult,” specifically citing conditions that favor Russian assaults Recent footage confirms heavy fog has likely grounded Ukraine’s crucial drone fleet, which compensates for a severe manpower shortage“]

Exactly. If the order were given, Kiev could be a smoking, nuclear-irradiated wasteland within half an hour or less. That is not Putin’s wish. He wants a productive Eastern Ukraine under Russian rule, and/or to restore the ancient link between Moscow and Kiev, which after all existed until 1991.

[“Look at the pic. This is Ukraine’s Minister of Energy, Svitlana Hrynchuk on a photo, who appears in recordings by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in a major corruption case in the energy sector. She received kickbacks from embezzled funds allocated for the construction of protective infrastructure for the energy system—an initiative that received nearly $5 billion in funding from the United States alone. These defenses were never built. The money was stolen by people in Zelensky’s inner circle. The scheme was reportedly led by Zelensky’s close friend and personal “wallet,” Tymur Mindich. Yet Zelensky feels so secure in misappropriating U.S. funds that he placed one of the central figures in this corruption scheme right in front of the President of the United States. Hrynchuk is the common-law wife of former Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko, whom Zelensky reassigned as Minister of Justice after the investigation began. The previous Minister of Justice, Olga Stefanishyna – also charged by NABU in a separate corruption case now in court – was appointed as Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States and is also on the table, right to the Hrynchuck. Zelensky brought a corrupt minister and sat her right in front of Trump. #TrueUkraine #ZelenskyLies.”]

Zelensky and his corrupt cabal should have had their ricebowls taken away long ago,

Ed Davey— an utter clown, whose party is only doing well because it is a dustbin for voters who can no longer vote Con or Lab, mostly Con.

I cannot say whether Morgan McSweeney is an actual Israeli agent “under control” or not; maybe, maybe not. Certainly an agent of influence.

Sterilization should be discussed.

Only Israel-fanatics and/or idiots take on Mark Lewis as their solicitor. Dishonest, negligent, and incompetent.

A General Election now, or soon, would result in a massive win for Reform UK; certainly a plurality of seats in the Commons, and quite likely an overall majority, perhaps a large one.

Talking point

An opinion poll, I think by YouGov, states that 60% of UK adults are generally in favour of the UK government’s “Net Zero” nonsense. Well, I do not overestimate the intelligence of most of my fellow Brits, but that seems hard to believe. Are they really that stupid, or so easily brainwashed? Thinking of the “panicdemic” Covid scam(demic), maybe they are. Depressing.

Interesting video about the Vanunu case

Whatever may be said about MOSSAD, there is little doubt that, over many decades, it has proven, repeatedly, its ability to undertake complex assignments, and to bring those assignments to a successful conclusion.

I found myself wondering how it was that, after Vanunu’s product found its way into the Sunday Times, MI5 was unaware of the fact that Vanunu was being honeytrapped?

Or was MI5 (and/or SIS/MI6) in fact perfectly aware, but let the thing continue? Why would MI5 or SIS do that? Well, maybe to keep UK-Israel relations stable by allowing (whether expressly or tacitly) MOSSAD to abduct Vanunu from a third country (as it turned out, Italy), thus allowing British services and government to wash their hands of it all. “Nothing to do with us, ‘guv”.

We shall only know for sure by reference to the records of MI5, SIS, or Israeli Intelligence, and that is not going to happen in our lifetimes.

Incidentally, the AI images in that video are interesting, real or adapted faces etc, and mixed with real locations (I got most of the London ones). The “Cindy” character, in parts of the video, had a face very similar to that of the young Christine Keeler [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Keeler]. Presumably also AI-adapted.

A barrister speaks

Worth watching/hearing, but his final advice to join the so-called “Free Speech Union” hits a bum note.

The “FSU”, set up by Toby Young, has never once helped anyone attacked for their speech or online opinions by the Jew-Zionist lobby, aka Israel lobby, such as (most egregiously) the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, headed by a liar and perjurer called Gideon Falter, who is assisted by another liar, and maker of false accusations, called (by me) “Slitherman”, who calls himself their “Head of Investigations and Enforcement”. The sheer gall of the bastard! Incredible.

I have frequently blogged about their decade-long campaign against me, but they have also attacked many many others, ranging from persecuted satirist and singer Alison Chabloz, and jazz musician Gilad Atzmon, to David Icke etc, right through to large organizations such as the BBC and Al Jazeera.

At present, the “CAA” is privately prosecuting (criminally) several persons: Dr. David Miller, Nick Griffin, black comedian Reginald D. Hunter; others too. The “CAA” is also conspiring against people such as NHS doctor Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan.

The “CAA” even tried to get the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to resign (or to have him dismissed), and to that end contrived a street provocation using Gideon Falter, who then —once more— lied to get what he wanted but, as often in the past, failed.

All of that activity is an abuse of the English legal system, so-called “lawfare”, on behalf of Israel and its fanatical fifth column in the UK.

So what has the “Free Speech Union” had to say about the “CAA” and its abusive behaviour (including its attacks on me)? Nothing. So to me, the FSU is the same— nothing.

Just as the founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale, has apparently been rather sidelined in UK school history teaching by some Jamaican woman called Mary Seacole, who, inter alia, ran a teashop for officers during the Crimean War.

Mary Seacole, who described herself as “a yellow woman“, i.e. some kind of Creole or mulatta (her father was a Scottish officer, and she also called herself “Creole“), was not a nurse, as such, or as we would understand the term, but primarily a businesswoman in the Caribbean/South American region; she ran hotels etc: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Seacole.

Wikipedia, while giving that information, yet describes Mary Seacole (in the headline description) as “a Black British nurse“! In fact, she is now described in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia piece simply as “…a British nurse“. An example of the faking of history which is now so widespread.

Mary Seacole’s mother was a “doctresse” (traditional healer) in Kingston, Jamaica, who taught her daughter basic healing and therapy.

Mary Seacole’s life is interesting enough without needing to be put through the process of “woke” hagiography.

One might add that Mary Seacole was not above looting churches etc for her own gain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Seacole#Crimean_War,_1853%E2%80%9356.

I do not think that one could imagine Florence Nightingale doing that.

Whatever one may think of Lord Ashcroft, the actions of the Imperial War Museum are, at the least, ungrateful.

I believe that the Imperial War Museum, which I visited once or twice when I was often in the neighbourhood in the early 1980s, has now given over much of its space to the Jew-Zionist WW2 “holocaust” farrago.

[“It is not racist to demand migrants speak English fluently It is not racist to demand migrants do not commit crime It is not racist to demand migrants contribute to the economy It is not racist to demand migrants do not live on welfare It is not racist to demand taxpayer-funded housing goes to taxpayers It is not racist to prioritise your own citizens Labour and the Left want you to think entirely reasonable and legitimate policies are “racist” They are not. Reject the narrative.”]

…and whether or not someone or other calls something “racist” is actually irrelevant. What is important is what is right, whether or not it be called “racist”…

…and, as I noted on the blog yesterday, what is important is that Reform seems to have captured the settled voting intention of about a third of the electorate, somewhere between 28% and 36%. So long as the old System parties, or “legacy” parties are all below 25%, that leaves Reform in the dominant position, likely to have a plurality of Commons seats, and quite possibly a majority.

Huge numbers of non-Europeans have been granted “indefinite leave to remain” over past decades. Most should never have been granted such leave, and the same applies to all the “family members” that later joined them. Raus!

The gloves are coming off, but neither side should be directly targeting civilians.

It is unclear, though, whether or not some or all of the damage to residential buildings in Kiev was caused by botched Kiev-regime air defence missile launches.

The Conservative Party will probably end, or near its end, at the next General Election in (?) 2028 or 2029. Even if Kemi Badenoch goes and is then replaced by Jewish-lobby puppet Jenrick or another substitute.

As matters stand, any former Conservative (or other) voters wanting rid of Starmer-Labour will have to vote Reform, certainly in most English constituencies.

It is easy to forget that “Ukraine” (Kiev-regime Ukraine) only has, in broad-brush terms, whatever monies and weapons are supplied to it by others.

If Zelensky and his cabal look like they are going to launch powerful missile strikes on targets deep inside Russia, particularly Moscow and St. Petersburg, then I would not rule out a nuclear-weapons response from Russia.

Moscow wants to rule eastern Ukraine, including Kiev, not destroy or poison it, but there may come a point where a “devil’s balance” comes down too heavily on the one side of the scales.

Israel is doomed, in the medium-term.

Looks like Craig Murray (former H.M. Ambassador to Uzbekistan) has come to the same conclusion as me. See:

Wall. Squad. End.

Incidentally, that “12-month” prison sentence really means 6 months (50% of headline term), but may even be only 20 to 21 weeks (40%), because, though a sex crime, the offence in question may be deemed “not serious”.

I do not know whether the untermensch in question has been on bail from time of offence; if he has been held in custody, then all that time will be deducted. In that event, he may be out in a matter of weeks.

[Update, 24 September 2025: I have now read that the criminal, though released from prison, is under immigration detention, pending potential deportation].

Wall. Squad. End.

That poll translates to about 359 Reform UK MPs, i.e. a substantial Commons majority. 124 Lab, 70 LibDems, 34 SNP, 29 Cons.

So no real change in public sentiment. Reform way ahead, Labour as weak official Opposition from 2028 or 2029, and Conservative Party washed up, a rump of 29 MPs from areas, mostly in southern England, where almost all voters are not-poor pensioners.

Blacks, browns, some others, public sector admin people etc still often voting for fake Labour..

[“The question British people will be asked at the next election is this: Do you think we should continue to allow millions of low-skill, low-wage migrants from outside Europe, who often cannot speak English, do not make a net contribution to the economy, and rely on welfare to stay in the UK forever and force British families to pay for it? Or, do you think like many other countries around the world we should sharply reduce immigration and reshape what immigration we have around people who can speak our language properly, have no criminal record, do not rely on welfare, and make a net contribution to the economy while keeping welfare and social housing for British families and forcing firms to invest in British workers? This is the choice. If you want the first, vote for the Uniparty If you want the second, vote Reform.”]

The Conservative Party has been very slow to understand that the real British people, though in some constituencies willing to countenance an MP who is black, brown, Chinese, or whatever, will not stand still for a non-white Prime Minister. It seems that the Sunak debacle of 2024 has not led to greater understanding.

Even were Kemi Badenoch far more intelligent and capable than she is, she would still be basically unelectable.

The lady tweeter above, who was once employed by her (now ex-) husband, a Conservative MP, via his MP expenses, wants the Con Party “to stand up for the disabled“, but the Con Party government she still supports, under David Cameron-Levita, demonized disabled people, and let loose the part-Jap sadist, fraudster and expenses cheat, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, aided by the Jew “lord”, Freud, to do his worst.

At the same time, that lady, Fiona-Natasha Syms, wants the State Pension “Triple Lock” to be removed, thus making all pensioners (many of whom have medical conditions but not all of whom receive money in respect of those conditions) poorer overnight.

Bearing in mind the electoral power of the “grey vote” (pensioners and those within 5-10 years of State Pension age— currently 66), taking away the Triple Lock would be suicide, whether for Lab or Con. Sunak did it for one year only, reinstalled it the next year, but the trust was gone. The Con Party has not recovered, and I doubt whether it ever will.

The lady in question seems to live in a dream world in which the British people want a government of the so-called “centre ground” (presumably, one similar to that of 2010-2015, which she liked— was that “centre-ground”?). She even pretends that she has an organization for that purpose, which she calls “Moderates”, and which (as far as I can see) does not even exist outside her own mind.

When times become desperate, the people seek more and more radical solutions. New wine cannot be put into old bottles. THAT is why Reform UK is riding high, despite its mostly underwhelming personnel and policies. The voters, especially the real British voters, mostly have binned the old System parties. Reform is the default choice. Behind that, though, you can see the “Overton Window” shifting almost as you look, like those tropical plants that grow so fast that their growth can almost be seen with the naked eye.

I do not believe I know, or have read, how many millions of shekels pounds the Starmer-stein “slush fund” contained.

Petty —or not so petty— corruption is Starmer’s Achilles’ Heel, but the bastard himself seems blissfully unaware that he is heading to electoral near-oblivion (though not so fast as the Con Party, which is now irrelevant).

Late thoughts about Ed Davey and the LibDem Conference

Only caught a few “highlights”, if such be the bon mot, on TV news.

The age of the LibDem attendees seemed to be, mostly, seventies or thereabouts.

The audience in the hall at Bournemouth appeared (from the few photos seen) to be about 300 people (and that would include many journalists and others).

Ed Davey’s speech, of which I heard/saw a few extracts on TV news, was pretty silly; yapping about the danger of firearms massacres etc. I covered this issue years ago on the blog, pointing out how very few “spree killings” via firearms have ever happened in the UK. Only 3 or 4 over hundreds of years, and one of those was about 15 years after the great restrictions on firearms introduced as a panic measure in the 1990s: see

Overall, I cannot see the LibDems appealing to many people, but their concentration of support in 50-100 constituencies should see them maintain their presently quite high number of MPs, looking at the collapse of the Conservative Party.

Very interesting. Even Labour supporters, and even LibDems, nearly half of them anyway, support a far more forceful protection of borders policy. Nearly all Reform UK supporters want more forceful measures, and they are by far the most numerous (recent polling re. voting intention had Reform on 34%, with Lab and Cons both around 16%).

Sink the boats. It is harsh, yes, but the situation is desperate. 1,000-2,000 of the bastards are invading our country every single day now.

Detention. Sequestration. Concentration. Sterilization. Deportation. Or elimination.

Also, “smuggling” seems hardly the right word, when the invaders are openly sent across the Channel, met just off the French coast by ships of the Royal Navy, Border Force, or degraded RNLI, then escorted to British ports, the invaders meanwhile having been provided with life-jackets.

This is the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan in operation. The deliberate flooding of the UK (and the rest of Europe) with non-Europeans.

“They” are a menace to any country that harbours them.

So even beyond the area some designate as a “Greater Israel”…

Maybe, eventually, the boomerang will return home…

All the same, those helicopters and vehicles will not help Israel much once hypersonic missiles start raining down on Tel Aviv and other places.

Enough to finish off fake Labour completely.

I am with Goodwin and Reform UK on that, but Goodwin, Reform, Tice, Farage, Laurence Fox, Katie Hopkins, “Tommy Robinson”, Toby Young, the “Free Speech Union” etc never mention the main subverters and repressors of free speech in this country— the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby.

I oppose both Islamism and Jew-Zionism, but it has to be said that, as far as I know, no extreme Muslim types have tried to close down my blog, or have me prosecuted, or have complained to police, professional (Bar) regulators etc about me.

Mainly the small but (((well-funded))) cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which is run by just a few Jew-Zionists, such as the liar and perjurer Gideon Falter and the liar and one-time serial social media troll —who harassed women online— and whom I call “Slitherman” (the so-called “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” of the “CAA”).

There is only one way to make corrupt and careerist MPs and ministers stop, but I am “not allowed” to say what, whether on this blog or any other platform…

The anti-Russia sanctions have the effect of strengthening the Russian economy and society in most, and the most important, ways.

As for oil, the price continues to rise, overall, and Russia thereby benefits, hugely. Much of the war in Ukraine, on both sides, is being paid for by the consumers of Western Europe.

Quite (only one correction: the untermensch was living in the “Hilton Hotel, Ealing”, according to the court report, not the Hilton, the one in Park Lane; so, apparently, in some Hilton offshoot, not the famous one).

Davey is a joke, the LibDems are a joke party, so naturally the opinion polls think that they will still have 50-100 MPs after the next general election, more than the Cons, and not far short of Labour. They might even end up as the official Opposition in the Commons. A joke party for what, increasingly, is a bad-joke country— and one sliding to civil/social/cultural/racial war.

Not just “one day”. EVERY day.

While I oppose what the Jews are doing in Israel/Palestine/Gaza/West Bank,I cannot see recognizing as a state a concept that is not a state at present is of any use.

British governments have almost always recognized governments and states de facto, i.e. because a government has actual control of a defined area. Britain has only rarely (mainly during the Second World War, in reference to the “governments-in-exile” of occupied Europe, mostly small groups based in London) recognized governments de jure, i.e. on ideological grounds and despite those “governments” having no or little real power on the ground.

Starmer-stein and the Labour (Friends of Israel) misgovernment

So Starmer, with a potentially disastrous by-election (Runcorn and Helsby, 1 May 2025) coming down the track, is suddenly making meaningless “tough” noises about immigration gangs etc.

One thing is sure: the migration-invasion will not be stopped by such measures, even if implemented.

As far as Starmer is concerned, both as “world leader” or “statesman” (in his own little mind), he has, so far, managed to alienate both Russia and the USA, as well as 90% or more of the British people.

Marine le Pen and French “democracy”

Macron is widely despised. This judicial outrage is nakedly political, and has the aim of preventing Marine le Pen from standing as a (probably successful) Presidential candidate in 2027, and is aimed, beyond that, at keeping France under NWO/ZOG control.

The French people have overthrown tyrants in the past. Perhaps the time has come for a new French Revolution.

Remove Macron. He does not represent France but only NWO/ZOG.

Incidentally, I assessed Macron on the blog six years ago:

Study the polls and see why Farage and Reform genuinely have a chance to govern.

Public put the Reform leader top in ‘best PM’ poll

Nothing is sticking. New polling for The Telegraph by Ipsos reveals that when asked who would do a “good job as prime minister”, Farage comes out on top on 28 per cent. Keir Starmer is one per cent behind, and Ed Davey two per cent. Badenoch is languishing at 18 per cent, her step-by-step approach to formulating a new set of Tory policies failing to register with voters who are still not listening to the “natural party of government”.

I went through the Ipsos numbers with Ben Butcher, our data editor, who identified just why Labour and the Conservatives should be worried.

“Labour is widely seen to be the party of the elite, with Reform trouncing Starmer with the C2DE and lower-paid respondents,” Butcher told me. The “red wall” is there for Reform’s taking, with the party polling well ahead of Labour amongst non-graduates.

“Ain’t nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos,” said the American politician, Jim Hightower. As Davey attacks from the soft centre, Reform outflanks the Tories from the other side. The Conservative leader is on a perilous downslope, her skis pulling in different directions. Farage beats Badenoch with older voters, the working-class and lower paid people on the question of who would do a good job as Prime Minister.

Let’s fix broken Britain,” Farage told 10,000 people in Birmingham. “I’m not mucking about.” The old parties that once commanded the comfortable heights of majority support are very clear that he is not.

People still want to believe that the political and electoral systems are honest, and have the interests of the British people at heart, even as it becomes blatantly obvious that that is not so.

I saw that in my free speech trial last year…

Meanwhile, the new “Labour” bastards are throwing money at pointless “climate change” rubbish all over the world, at foreign aid, £3 billion a year going to the brutal and doomed regime of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev, and huge amounts of money are wasted on sheltering and feeding migrant invaders; and on all sorts of other useless and unwanted garbage.

Stupid TV woman drones on and on about having to line up for EU passport inspection post-Brexit etc (has she never been to places like the USA?), while no doubt thinking and saying, apart from all other real problems of the UK, that the mass migration invasion of the UK by the riff-raff of the entire world is either not significant or something to be, in the usual misused or bastard word, “celebrated”.

All the Prime Ministers of the UK back to 1997 need to be put on trial and then dealt with.

I am not usually a “hanger and flogger”, but it would please me to see Liz Truss’s carcass swinging and twisting in the wind.

Leaving the individual case behind, there is something very wrong with a system that elevates such unworthy individuals to the highest non-hereditary office. Not just Liz Truss (who only became an MP on her back in the first place). Look at Theresa May, who was an executive at the BACS cheque-clearing organization— hardly cutting-edge. That is before we even get onto the subject of “Boris”-idiot and others, including Starmer.

A suitable punishment for Liz Truss and others involved would be to lose their stolen money (e.g. via hyperinflation, or confiscation) and then to get cancer, the treatment for which they would be unable to receive without payment, which payment they would be unable to afford. That would be too just in this world, though, I suppose.

She says that she did not meet the Governor of the Bank of England because she did not want to undermine the then Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng (aka “Woollyhead Trussbanger”).

Starmer and his cabal are rubbish, and tyrannical rubbish at that, but the only reason that they are sitting pretty with their huge Commons majority is because of the 14 years of equally rubbish “Conservative” misgovernment.

At the end, the voters were almost all desperate to bin the “Conservative” Party. Only 3 people out of every 20 eligible voters voted Con (3 out of every 12 that actually voted).

Both Starmer and ridiculous Ed Davey, the LibDem leader, benefited from the desperate wish of most voters to bin Sunak and his MPs. Starmer and Davey also benefited from the UK’s unjust and illogical FPTP voting system.

My namesake

I have mentioned this before. There is someone (I believe an I.T. person from Bath) who has the same name as me, and tweets under the handle “@IanMillard100”.

I believe that both my political friends and foes are aware that “IanMillard100” is not me —and I can hardly blame him for having the same name as me— but I admit that it is irritating to see (sometimes) silly tweets from him, tweets that some people may think have been posted by me (in fact, I have not tweeted since 2018, when a pack of Jews prevailed upon pre-Elon Musk Twitter to delete my Twitter account).

Oh, well, nothing I can do about it…

The USA is using Europe, particularly Poland, the pribaltika, and the UK as a first line of defence in any near-future and massive NATO-Russia conflict. European states should declare neutrality, and remove American bases and weapons.

An extreme example, of course, but even in the Second World War, the German High Command valued the average military units of the combatant nations as follows: every Waffen SS unit was worth 2 ordinary Wehrmacht units, 3 British or Russian units and 5 American ones.

Obviously, there are exceptions the other way. I recall meeting, many years ago, a few Americans from the more elite parts of the US Army and Navy, and they were very different.

Still, as General Schwarzkopf said, “special forces do not win wars“, at least not big wars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Schwarzkopf_Jr.

The Kiev regime may become more powerful in terms of destructive rocket and drone activity, but the war will be won by the side with the greater number of soldiers, tanks, logistical capability, air power and, yes, rockets and drones.

That would be the Russian side.

The Kiev regime is having to press-gang recruits, and thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands are still trying to leave Ukraine and join the millions of others beyond the borders.

Both the USA and European states such as the UK are funneling money, arms and ammunition to Zelensky’s dictatorship, but with people willing and able to fight, that will not turn the tide of Russian advance. As to the money, well…

They look like Roma Gypsies to me, though well-disguised.

I know little about Lineker, and have little interest in him except insofar as he seems to be a typical msm talking head enemy of the British people. Apart from that, it just seems mad to me that anyone at all should be paid a million a year for shooting the breeze about football (or anything else, even serious topics) on TV. The BBC is an over-resourced disgrace now. The key is to either junk the “licence fee” (enforced tax) or to return the BBC to its Reithian principles: “inform, educate, entertain“, and in that order.

526. In one day. Then multiply that by about 10 to include all the “legal” migrant-invaders.

Germans (real Germans)— OK. Others (non-Europeans with German passports or identity documents)— NEIN DANKE!

Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and other pro-immigration fanatics, such as Zoe Gardner etc, don’t want to hear about the very dark results of migration invasion. They want to sit in their pleasant homes in leafy areas, talking down —on the msm— both to the British people and to people like me (who really do “know better”).

I hope, for the sake of their families and those of Russian soldiers who are prisoners of the Kiev regime, that an exchange will take place.

The Kiev regime just keeps pushing and pushing. This will not end well, especially for Zelensky and his cabal, and the inhabitants of Kiev.

LibDems are just wastes of space. There may be exceptions, but I have not seen any. Ed Davey is only marginally better than was Jo Swinson, and she was rock-bottom in every respect.

Even the old Liberal Party was mostly ludicrous in the post-WW1 (let alone post-WW2) era, though Jo Grimond was an exception: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Grimond.

Incidentally, Grimond’s memoirs are worth reading: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Memoirs-Jo-Grimond/dp/0434306002.

As to the LibDem chances in the upcoming 2024 General Election, I may be wrong but think them overestimated by commentators. Admittedly, many voters who despise the present Government and who see nothing in Starmer-Labour for which to vote may be looking for a protest vote, and some (those who do not favour Reform UK, the Green Party, or simple abstention may choose the LibDems, but I think not very many.

There are presently-Con seats where Labour has no chance, but where the LibDems often roll in second. Those seats may go LibDem, especially if Labour voters vote tactically. I cannot see the LibDems getting more than 10% overall (2019— 11.6%).

In both 2017 and 2015, the LibDems got below 8% after the years of Con Coalition. There is no possibility for the LibDems to revisit the 23% they achieved in 2010. “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time” [Abraham Lincoln].

However, what matters in UK Parliamentary politics is not the overall percentage, but the percentage concentrated in particular seats, which is why, in 2015, UKIP received 12.6% of the vote but only the one seat it already had, whereas the LibDems received a mere 7.9%, yet retained 8 MPs.

So it may yet be that, in the end, even on an overall 10%, the LibDems, who currently have only 15 MPs, will able to double or even treble their Commons strength.

Meanwhile, if Reform UK gets, nationwide, the same, or even 15%, it will probably end up still without any MPs.

The present pseudo-democratic system is a bad joke.

Kiev’s air defense forces are exhausted, and the West is in no hurry to help – Financial Times.

In the absence of new tranches of military assistance from the United States and the European Union, Ukraine is increasingly concerned that Ukrainian military personnel and military and industrial facilities may be vulnerable to Russian airstrikes, writes the Financial Times.

As Russia intensifies its campaign to strike energy infrastructure and other targets in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky called on Western allies to approve new military aid packages to bolster Kyiv’s depleted air defense capabilities.

According to Zelensky, there are not enough air defense systems both on the battlefield and for the defense of targets in Ukrainian cities. Kiev admits that Russia “controls the sky.”

At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces hope that Ukraine’s receipt of American-made F-16 fighters will put an end to the dominance of the Russian air force and help resume the counteroffensive, which has so far failed to achieve any significant successes.

Not so many people want to be bothered by real problems, let alone real solutions. The masses want to be distracted by winning or losing sports games on the other side of the world, the latest soap trash on TV, the latest “reality” (unreality) TV show, or whatever.

Also, there are huge numbers of idiots virtue-signalling online or otherwise about how it is “kind” or “decent” to allow a million, or ten million migrant-invaders into the UK, or a hundred million if it comes to that. We have already had ten million, over 20+ years.

Those “virtue-signallers”, the “refugees welcome” dimwits etc are lacking the intellectual honesty to admit that that means the end of our basically decent European society, and the end of opportunities for most British people. It also means a housing crisis, a transport and roads crisis, a gradually-worsening NHS, gradually-sinking (in real terms) pay, State benefits, pensions etc, as well as educational standards falling through the floor.

Dirty democratic politicians” [Hitler]

The underlying problem here is that, in the early 1940s, Winston Churchill’s misguided government basically threw away the Empire as it existed in the Caribbean. The Americans took over, strategically, while the various islands stayed nominally under British rule (some are now independent, some are “British Overseas Territories” and still get a considerable financial subsidy from the UK).

Another good reason not to vote for Ed Davey and the pathetic rump of the LibDems. Davey may be slightly more intelligent than the LibDems’ previous leader, Jo Swinson (a total Jewish-lobby puppet) but that, after all, would scarcely be difficult. Davey is another Orange Book Lib Dem Con-lite MP, and not all that “lite”, really.

The fact is that large numbers were infected by “the virus” in hospital. Instead of encouraging North Korea-lite “clapathons”, the Government, Opposition (such as it is) and msm should have been looking at why many UK hospitals are basically filthy.

The main problem with the hospital side of the NHS is that the administration is terrible. No proper leadership, no efficient administration, no accountability. That leads to general sloppiness. The old “Matron” is long gone, and should probably be reinstated, as should proper cleaning regimes (i.e. not some poorly-paid and probably useless immigrant broom-pusher from an outsourcing company).

Court news

https://www.advertiserandtimes.co.uk/news/new-milton-man-spared-jail-after-stabbing-revenge-mistake-9224807/

It is always dangerous to criticize a sentence handed down by a judge, when one has not heard the evidence given in court, has not noted the demeanour of the defendant, and when a newspaper report is, as most are, incomplete (and in some cases, not entirely accurate in what is reported).

Having said that, I find the above case troubling for reasons that go beyond the facts of the case itself.

The defendant had, years before, been convicted of possession of a knife in public, as the newspaper notes, “…among his previous convictions“.

There is more here than meets the eye. Why did someone stab the defendant in the back earlier the same evening?

In some parts of the country, London in particular, such events are now far more frequent than they once were, a consequence in part of decades of black-brown mass immigration.

However, New Milton, a fairly quiet corner of Hampshire, is not accustomed to such activity. The age demographic is high, and that little town is really rather dead in the evening. I know it and, at one time, in years past, used the station quite often, not infrequently arriving late in the evening from London Waterloo.

The first stabbing was obviously not random. There are unexplained currents in the case. Also, one would expect a defendant in such a case to be rather young, perhaps a teenager, not 31. I am also puzzled at the apparent fact that the defendant himself had been stabbed, in the back, yet was (as far as can be gleaned) uninjured. Also, if a third party had been convicted re. that backstabbing or surrounding events, why only of possession and not, e.g., GBH with intent?

As to the instant case, I should say that the defendant was lucky in his judge, and it looks as though his defence Counsel did well. The sentence (even taking into account unpaid work, and a financial penalty etc) was surely merciful.

I am uneasy, however, that someone who, not in self-defence (the defendant having returned home and then slightly later revisited the railway station with a knife) stabbed the uninvolved victim (who merely looked like the earlier backstabber), that victim only avoiding serious injury and possible death by the lucky chance of wearing thick motorcycle clothing.

Another question: the defendant was stabbed in the back, yet chose not to alert the police. Why not? They would surely have attended quite swiftly in such a situation. As said, there seem to be hidden aspects here.

My overall question, though, is what on Earth is happening in the UK? Persons being stabbed in quiet parts of Southern England. Almost unheard of 50 or 60 years ago. One cannot even put it down, in this case, to the dreadful effects of non-white immigration. The part of England in the report is still largely English.

A sign of the times.

Historical reminder

In 1920, Adolf Hitler decided that the Nazi Party needed its own insignia and flag. For Hitler, the new flag had to be “a symbol of our own struggle” as well as “highly effective as a poster.” On August 7, 1920, at the Salzburg Congress, this flag became the official emblem of the Nazi Party. In Mein Kampf, Hitler described the Nazis’ new flag: “In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white the nationalistic idea, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work, which as such always has been and always will be anti-Semitic.” [National Museum of American History; https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_135742].

Diary Blog, 27 August 2020, including thoughts about the Liberal Democrat Party

LibDems

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Liberal_Democrats_leadership_election

I see that the LibDems have elected a new leader. Not hard to find one better than Jo Swinson was, even in the LibDems’ restricted gene pool. Ed Davey is part of the old LibLabCon Westminster stitch-up, tied-in with finance-capitalism and political lobbying, but is and is perceived as more solid than crazed lesbian (she prefers “pansexual”) Layla Moran [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Liberal_Democrats_leadership_election]. [Note: some unflattering facts seem to have been expunged from Layla Moran’s Wikipedia entry].

Ed Davey got about two-thirds of the leadership vote.

Davey [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Davey] will not rock the LibDem boat much; neither will he get more people to join or vote for the LibDems.

The scamming of, and later betrayal of, the voters in 2010 led to the debacle of 2015, when the LibDems went from having 57 MPs to having 8. In fact, the high point of LibDemmery in terms of MP numbers was under the egregious drunk, multikulti fanatic and Jewish lobby tool, Charles Kennedy, who increased the LibDem MP contingent from 52 to 62 in 2005.

Charles Kennedy’s predecessor, Paddy Ashdown, was rather liked by the public, I think, despite the farce of the “Paddy Pantsdown” episode. Ashdown, a former Royal Marine and SBS officer, had increased the LibDem bloc of MPs from 20 (1992) to 46 (1997).

Kennedy was replaced by Nick Clegg in 2005, lost his seat in 2015 and finally drank himself to death a few weeks later. Nihil nisi bonum mortuis, but I never liked him. The sort of person who is all in favour of the UK being invaded by black and brown hordes and “I’m all right, Jack” because sitting comfortably in the more affluent parts of London, the suburbs, the country or, in Kennedy’s case, Fort William, in the Highlands of Scotland. I also disliked the fact that Kennedy was so firmly in the pocket of the Jewish lobby. Having said that, Kennedy did oppose the NWO invasion of Iraq in 2003; credit where due.

I think that the LibDem party and also msm commentators have underestimated the sense of betrayal among voters in respect of what happened 2010-2015. It still resonates. It resonates even with me, and I have never been a LibDem member, supporter, or voter! The sheer conscienceless lying cheek of it! The broken LibDem promises, the selling-out of the voters just so that LibDem careerists like Nick Clegg, little Danny Alexander [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Alexander] etc could get ministerial portfolios in the Con Coalition.

Both Jo Swinson and Ed Davey were given government preferment during the Con Coalition, Davey at Cabinet level (Jo Swinson was merely a PUS).

During the Con Coalition of 2010-2015, the Conservative Party leaders played the LibDem leadership like a balalaika. Example: the LibDems withdrew opposition to the Bedroom Tax after being offered a law (now in place) prohibiting free plastic bags in supermarkets.

Now, Clegg is the main European gopher for the Facebook Jew, Zuckerberg, while Alexander now works for something called AIIB [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Infrastructure_Investment_Bank] and lives in Beijing (or, as I stubbornly call it, Peking). Both received knighthoods, for what that is now worth.

What now for the LibDems?

The LibDem representation in the Scottish Parliament has more than halved since 1999 (when that parliament was established). Now only 5 MSPs out of 129, a situation unchanged since 2011. A similar position to the LibDems in the National Assembly for Wales (1 AM out of 40, again unchanged since 2011). The next elections will be in 2021.

In the London Assembly, the LibDems have 1 member out of 25, while in the Lords, they have 89 peers out of (soon) over 800.

At Westminster, the LibDems now have 11 seats out of a potential 650. That is one down from 2017 but four up compared to 2015. The British electoral system is of course bizarre. In 2019, the LibDems got 11.6% of the national vote, but in 2017 had only 7.4% (yet one more MP!).

I have said since 2010 that the LibDems are living on borrowed time. I still think that, though the “cockroach” quality of the LibDems has just managed to keep them in play. There are several reasons for that. First, the LibDem support for the EU. That may not be hugely popular nationally, but is not hugely unpopular either. Then there is the fact that LibDem voters tend to be concentrated in particular constituencies. Most of the “Celtic Fringe” LibDem areas of Scotland, Wales and Cornwall may be lost, probably forever, but there are leafy suburban seats in England that will be forever LibDem…or will they?

LibDem MPs tend to represent, in England, affluent suburban/rural seats: Twickenham, Richmond Park, Bath, St. Albans, Oxford West and Abingdon (Layla Moran), Kingston and Surbiton (Ed Davey), Westmorland. The other four are in Scottish seats, all but one rural and rather remote.

The 2019 LibDem vote-share of 11.6% was below that of UKIP in 2015 (when UKIP, with 12.6%, got only 1 MP elected). The difference lies in the Schwerpunkt or concentration of forces in those particular constituencies. Several are marginal seats. UKIP failed in 2015 because its 12.6% was only half of what would have been required to win at least some seats. Had UKIP got a national vote of 25% in 2015, it would have got, undoubtedly, 30% or 40% in a few seats and so won those seats. 12.6% is not enough; neither is 11.6%, but though the LibDems get 2%, 5%, 7% in most seats, they achieve higher votes in the favoured few constituencies. For example, Ed Davey’s vote in 2019 was over 51%; Layla Moran’s was over 53%.

One unexpected (to me) fact is that the actual membership of the LibDems is now around 120,000, its highest ever as “Liberal Democrat Party”, though the old Liberal Party had a membership, albeit very long ago (pre-WW1), in the hundreds of thousands, as well as hundreds of MPs, peaking in 1906 with 398 MPs out of 670.

Membership is a secondary factor. Labour had nearly 600,000 members last year (2019) when it lost to the Conservative Party, which had only 140,000. The Labour pressure group, Momentum, has about 40,000; UKIP still has 26,000 (supposedly), despite being a “dead parrot”.

The LibDems will probably limp on, eventually to die “not with a bang but a whimper” in the words of Nevile Shute in On the Beach.

In a binary system, the in-out of the two parties contending tends to alternate,on the national level. The LibDems have MPs because, in their now-few core areas of the country, the LibDems are the alternative to the Conservatives. However, the Con Coalition of 2010-2015 destroyed the (if never credible to me personally) LibDem trump cards, supposed integrity, honesty, idealism etc. I really do not think that the LibDems can climb out of the hole, but they may just gently decline to a few MPs before actually expiring.

Mike Stuchbery

I blogged about “antifa” cheerleader Mike Stuchbery last year: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/10/23/a-few-words-about-mike-stuchbery/.

He has now (again) tweeted about me. In fact, he (or someone using his name, and an email account obviously set up for the purpose) sent my blog a silly and hostile message fairly recently. I suppose that it might have been someone else using his name, but the message was tracked to an ISP number in the Stuttgart area (Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), which is where Stuchbery now lives.

Obviously, I did not approve (what I take to be) his comment for publication, but the details are still on file. I do not threaten people. Not threaten.

When I started blogging, nearly 4 years ago, I thought that I would almost inevitably get hostile messages, but in fact have so far only had about half a dozen or so, over the 4 years. I suppose that most people who might send such messages cannot be bothered to set up email accounts just for that purpose, when all that happens is that the messages are seen only by me, not my readers; also, the senders are usually blocked.

Alternatively, maybe most people who read my blog posts enjoy them, support what I say, support me. Now there’s a thought…

Stuchbery’s outbursts today:

I suppose that I should thank Stuchbery for publicizing my blog. After all, I myself cannot do so via Twitter; the Jew-Zionist lobby had me expelled in 2018, and I am not on the other well-known platforms (Facebook, Telegram, YouTube etc).

I noticed that a few people replied to Stuchbery’s post(s). Here’s one:

The tweeter @RedFiddler is an Australian, a Ph.D.-holder using the actual title “Dr”…I have blogged before about this quite recent affectation (recent in the Anglophone countries; it is more accepted in, particularly, Germanophone lands, where at one time not many people had higher degrees), though I suppose that it is just about possible that the tweeter is in an academic teaching post.

Reverting to the main topic, you see the problem. These people hate Europeans and European culture to such an extent that they actually question whether European race and culture even exists! If anyone said the like about, say, African race and culture, or Chinese race and culture, the mob would either laugh or, more likely, lay down the “racist!” card immediately. Sick world.

BBC Radio 4 News at 1900 hrs (paraphased): “there has been a big increase in persons testing positive for Coronavirus. However, hospital admissions in respect of the virus continue to fall.” No mention at all of deaths from (or with) “the virus”. Because there are none now, or virtually none.

How long do you think that it will be before the BBC and the Government (and the pathetic scared rabbits all wearing their facemask muzzles) put two and two together? Perhaps they need a famous TV face to say to them: “yes, many many people are still getting Coronavirus. Few have symptoms. A few have sore throats etc. Almost none need any medical attention, let alone hospital admission. None are dying.”

Followed by “Citizens! It is safe to walk, talk, shop, drink and even return to work or school. Burn your facemasks!” (well, one can dream, but a proclamation like that would be too honest).

The newspapers in a flurry because Rebecca Long-Bailey seems to be in the lead, ahead of ex-DPP Keir Starmer. As already blogged, I have little time for any of the candidates, but the two I most want binned and humiliated are Jess Phillips and Lisa Nandy. Overall, Rebecca Long-Bailey is probably the best from a policy point of view at least, but in a terribly poor field.

Voter migration 2017-2019

That is an interesting graphic. From it can be seen Labour’s haemorrhage of support quite clearly.

The Conservatives stood firm, gaining few new voters but still more than they lost; more Brexit Leavers migrating Lab to Con than Brexit Remainers migrating Con to LibDem.

The 4-point upswing in the LibDem popular vote is seen to be entirely Remainer dissidents from both Lab and Con, together with some 2017-non-voting Remainers.

While Labour did lose former (2017) voters, i.e. Leave supporters, to both Conservative Party and Brexit Party, and almost as many Remain supporters to the LibDems, almost as many former Labour voters as all of those defectors simply did not vote at all in 2019. What is especially interesting is that those former Labour voters who did not vote at all in 2019 were split about 50-50 between Remain and Leave.

What that means, to me, is that a very great number of people who used to vote Labour found it unsuitable in 2019 not because it was pro or anti the EU, but for other reasons. We are talking about somewhere in the region of a million people who voted Labour in 2017 but who did not vote at all in 2019. About 2.7 million fewer people voted Labour in 2019 as compared to 2017. Almost half of of those did not vote at all in 2019. So at least a million, maybe nearly 1,250,000.

What do these dynamics mean for the short or medium term? One problem is that we do not know all of the facts. Some former Labour voters defected to the Con Party or Brexit Party because those voters supported Brexit, but others obviously could not support Con Party or Brexit Party for other reasons. They at least could perhaps be called “social national” voters without a home. 500,000-600,000 people.

Brexit, even if probably in a messed-up, disorganized way, is going ahead. Remain is a dead duck politically. Brexit will not be a factor in the next general election, except in residual ways. That means that, inter alia, the LibDems are toast.

About a third of the new 2019 LibDem voters were Remainers who were previously Con, Lab or non-voting. Now that Brexit is set to leave the political agenda, at least as an In/Out question, those voters will ebb away. At the same time, the concentrations of LibDem support in a small number of constituencies are diffusing, but the LibDems have no real national narrative to tell, while the paucity of MPs (11 at present) means that the pool of potential leaders is a mere puddle. Finally, the proposed boundary changes and reduction of MP numbers from 650 to 600 will kill off at least half a dozen LibDem seats anyway. Result— misery and probable annihilation.

I admit that I have been predicting LibDem annihilation for 9+ years, but in my defence I can only plead that I underestimated the stupidity of the electorate or some of it. I also underestimated the effect of the UK’s effectively rigged political system. Where else but to the LibDems could the voters go if unwilling to vote Con or Lab? Only to UKIP or Brexit Party. Controlled opposition. I do think, now, that the fateful hour is approaching for LibDemmery. Their vague “centrism” and “let’s all be nice in society” messaging rang very hollow after the terrible things done by the Con Coalition, in which now-binned Jo Swinson was a junior minister.

The Con Coalition killed the LibDems, or rather mortally-wounded them. The LibDems are slowly dying from the effects of 2010-2015.

The frontrunner for next LibDem leader is Ed Davey, who was a Cabinet minister in the Con Coalition. Not really likely to revive the LibDems, though a more substantial figure than Jo Swinson (whose recent elevation to the Lords, after having been chucked out by the voters of her Commons constituency, has probably irritated voters generally even more). Looking at the other LibDem MPs, one sees the problem in finding even a halfway-suitable leader!

Another point to remember is that the turnout in 2019 was about 67%. Nearly 33% of eligible voters (in round figures, about 16 million people) did not vote. There are yet others who are eligible but who are not registered. Could there be a political position that would attract the allegiance of that 16M-strong or maybe 20M-strong bloc?

Interesting to see that the Greens, though basically a joke-party, managed to attract Brexit-unaligned voters who had not voted in 2017. Seems to me that, in part, that was a protest vote against the lack of choice.

Labour is hopeless at present, with no decent leader in sight and policies which are partly-popular but also partly deeply unpopular (eg mass immigration laxity). Its traditional base is ebbing away and its new foundations in the black and South Asian “communities” are not so solid.

Labour seems not to want to turn to the truths that everyone else, pretty much, sees: such as that mass immigration has destroyed decent pay, benefits, and has crowded schools, NHS, prisons etc. Labour wants to say that “unions are the answer” when they were not even the answer 30 years ago!

What about the Conservatives? Their new seats are not theirs by tradition or custom. The roots are very shallow. They are a government by default, who won the recent General Election by default. Labour might have had a chance were it not for the Jew-dominated hate barrage put up over 4 years and intensified during the campaign. However, that was only part of the story. The other part was Labour as it actually is. Diane Abbott as proposed Home Secretary? A West Indian woman who scarcely knows what day it is, who cannot put the right shoe on the right foot, who cannot add up…it just goes on! Oh, and who has made plain her hatred for the British people again and again.

Labour just did not look like a credible government. Even compared to Boris-idiot’s “Conservatives”. It did not hit hard enough against the Israel lobby that was behind the anti-Labour msm barrage either. Since the campaign and election, one of the sinister “Campaign Against Antisemitism” bastards, one Joe Glasman, even posted a triumphalist clip (he looked drugged or drunken) on Twitter (it is deleted now, I read) in which he admitted that the Jews beat Labour through msm links, “spies and intel” and a relentless focus on negative attacks on Corbyn especially. Indeed, he revelled in “his” victory.

The Conservative victory was won without having had to oppose a credible opponent (made still less credible by the Jewish-lobby publicity campaign and by its own flaws). Another factor was the weaponization of Brexit. 52% wanted Brexit in 2016 and even if the mismanagement etc had reduced that to perhaps 45% or 50% by December 2019, that 45%-50% was still more than the Conservative voting intention of earlier in the year, that stood in the 35%-40% range. It was that Brexit factor that augmented the Conservative lead.

2022/2024? Completely open. If a social national party exists by then, it might gain huge support. True, the political system is rigged via FPTP voting, carefully-drawn constituency boundaries etc, not to mention the msm, but if such a party has elections as a stratagem, not an end, such a party might still triumph eventually via other roads to glory…

An enemy of the truly European future

The Coudenhove-Kalergi idea again. How anyone could believe that a white Northern European population is less creative and has fewer evolutionary possibilities than, say, the populations of Nigeria, Congo, Brazil etc is hard to understand except in terms of multikulti brainwashing. Judge the trees by their fruits.

It would also be good if scientists who tweet could use “too” and not “to” when they mean “too”…

Ah, mystery solved. Our “scientist” is a former lifeguard and waiter, who later worked in IT and is now a lecturer at a couple of former polytechnics:

Harry and the Royal Mulatta

A tweet or two.

That last tweet hits the nail on the head. “He who would be first must be the servant of all”. The Queen understands that, at least in principle, but the younger royals feel only the entitlement, not the obligation. Some were always like that, of course. Princess Margaret. Prince Andrew. Edward Fag-End (as the Anglo-Saxons might have named him). Now we have this pair of msm “celebrities”.

An older sort of monarchy would have loaded their camels with gold (if they were lucky) and then banished them forever to a far kingdom. I suppose that, in a sense, that is what was done with Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson after 1936.

This marriage has tarnished the whole concept of British Royalty in a way never done before, certainly not so openly.

Update, 8 February 2021

Looking at the above blog post a year on in time, I think that it has held up well. Even the fact that the idea to reduce MP numbers from 650 to 600 in time for the next General Election has been binned changes little. The LibDems are still a dead duck, in my view.
