Well, this week 7/10, thus just beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 10. I admit that my (correct) answers to q.’s 4 and 9 were educated guesses.
Blog readers
I am always interested to see from where hits on the blog come. In the past week, from 16 different countries (inc. UK). Of course, with advances in technology, you cannot say for sure where readers are located; some may be, say, in Australia but appear to be in the USA, but I daresay most locations are accurate.
I was just looking at the apparent location of readers since I started the blog towards the end of 2016, so 8 years ago. Readers from 155 countries and territories in the world, so from about three-quarters of the world. There are 195 states in the world, plus some extra territories that do not have that status (such as Antarctica— and, yes I have had the odd hit from there, presumably from some scientist at a polar research base).
I have occasionally mused on who it might be in (inter alia) Lesotho, Antarctica, Greenland, Burkina Faso, the Aaland Islands (maybe I can guess who that particular one is), American Samoa, Chad, Tadjikistan, or Congo-Kinshasa, that is reading my thoughts and ideas.
The largest number of hits has always been from the UK, though (about 70%, with a further 10% from the USA).
The readership of the blog, on a daily basis, is still modest, never reaching over a thousand on any one day, and often not reaching even a hundred (I do not publicize the blog anywhere, and am not on Twitter/X or Facebook etc), but I have always taken the view that “one human soul is a big audience“.
Risible how System political scribblers, ivory-tower academics etc really still think that elections in the 2020s are still won by ridiculous local political footsoldiers knocking on doors, disturbing and and irritating householders, or by the voters reading the absolute shite put out on leaflets etc. This is 2024, not 1924…
John Rentoul seems unsure. He neither endorses nor dissents. He probably imagines that people actually read those (mostly) LibLabCon leaflets at election-time. Wrong; most, maybe 99%, go in the bin unread.
As for “average age 61, opposed to net zero“, what about “almost all (real) British” (as well)?

Blast(s) from the past
I just re-read the blog post about the infamous New Zealand massacre, which happened nearly 6 years ago, in 2019. Apparently, that blog post has had a rather small, disappointingly-small, number of hits; frankly, I think it is still worth reading. Anyway, here it is:
See also Ruth Smeeth, also a Hope not Hate figure, now (risibly) elevated to the totally-degraded House of Lords as “Baroness” Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Smeeth. A half-Jewish Zionist agent.
The thing that people REALLY, REALLY don't want to admit about the mass rape gangs which operated in the UK for decades is that their crimes were racially and religiously motivated and justified by the perpetrators.
“In Israel, war fatigue is growing, the death toll is rising, and the scale of the fighting is expanding. A growing number of Israeli army reservists are avoiding service, further straining an already overstretched army amid an ever-expanding war. An Israeli army spokesman said the number of conscripts had dropped by about 15% since the start of the operation in the Gaza Strip in October 2023. Israel is now embroiled in the longest conflict in its history. In the first months of the war, some 350,000 Israelis were conscripted, a huge number for a country with a population of less than 10 million. The army plans to extend mandatory military service and increase the maximum age limit for reservists. /Washington Post/.“
Israel is doomed. Once the Israeli state falls, the power and influence of the worldwide Jewish lobby will diminish greatly, enabling Europe, in particular, to break free.
Talking point
Scamdemic. Panicdemic.
Talk about “the Big Lie”! Stunning in its massive-scale mendacity. Label “flu” as “Covid” (more or less) then use the fear created (with relentless State publicity frightening the life out of people —in some cases, literally) to institute police-state measures and laws which can then be used again in future, as required.
Very true. Look at those peabrained idiots passing judgment on Robert Kennedy junior, and on his health plans, when they themselves are not only peabrained but also plainly unfit and unhealthy couch potatoes with nothing to do but watch TV and make ignorant comments based on whatever System propaganda they have absorbed from TV “news” comment etc.

I have posted in recent days a couple of hours of memories by the acclaimed, but now also “cancelled”, historian David Irving. Well worth seeing and listening to, so here it is again:
Today, 7 October 2024, the Israel lobby (aka Zionist lobby or Jewish lobby) is using the events of 7 October 2023 as a hook on which to hang the whole “holocaust” narrative, which in fact (under that label) mainly dates from the 1970s and later, despite being about disputed “events” of the early 1940s. The “usual suspects” are going mad on Twitter/X. A partly-coordinated “claque“.
At the same time, Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer is again displaying his fealty to Israel. In lay terms, Starmer can be, not inaccurately, described as “traitor”.
Also released today, figures showing that the number of people killed by the (Israeli) Jews in Gaza over the past year stands at about 42,000 (killed, not including the much larger number injured, in many cases grievously); many, the majority, have been women and children.
Starmer is a total disgrace, as well as being a freeloading hypocrite.
The same goes for Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper and others.
Ukrainian PM Denys Shmyhal announced that Ukraine will not renew its natural gas transit agreement with Russia, aiming to reduce Russian energy dependence. https://t.co/Z6WYA7toOU
Should I comment as I would like, “the usual suspects” on Twitter/X etc would no doubt make yet another malicious complaint to the poundshop Stasi police…
Still, the locals could stop them, though not by merely asking…
Such fake “Scottish nationalists” are beyond funny. Total cretins.
The London Economic is run by the same team as JOE UK.

Odds-on that those ultimately behind that “company” are Jewish, and probably Israeli.
When I was resident in Kazakhstan in 1996-1997, one of those I encountered a few times was the chief of an Israeli energy company called something like Suntree. They were taking over hydropower and other electrical production and distribution plants and networks.
That Israeli, about (?) 70 or 75, had been a general in the Israeli Defence Forces, and he told me (by implication critical of the UK Embassy in Almaty, the then capital) that every Israeli ambassador is given, on appointment, a list or quota of connections to be made— economic, diplomatic, military etc.
Look at how the Israelis interfere in UK politics; of course they have the advantage of the voluntary help given to Israeli officials by “British” Jews.

[Milo Rau in The Guardian]
but…
“Milo Rau was born in 1977 in Bern, Switzerland.[1] His father’s Jewish family moved from Germany to Switzerland to escape the Nazis shortly before World War Two, while his mother, surnamed Larese, had Italian origins. His parents divorced when he was about two years old.”
I was at a medical centre recently (not on my own account). While waiting in the almost empty waiting area, I noticed a steady stream of people even older than me (in their 70s and maybe older) lining up, looking perfectly well, in order to order their anti-flu and supposed anti-Covid injections.
People with (I presume) real problems had to wait while those “worried well” pensioners endlessly discussed it all with the receptionist. Some of those nuisances wanting what I expect they term their “jabs” were even wearing facemask muzzles. No, dear…that was a couple of years ago…(the message has apparently not yet got through).
Loonies, again. Brainwashed by msm propaganda.

“Pine martens return to Dartmoor after 150-year absence.
“Fifteen of the nimble, tree-climbing mammals were released last month at secret locations in Devon.
Fifteen pine martens are darting through the woods of Dartmoor for the first time in 150 years after the rare but recovering species was reintroduced into south-west England.
The nimble, tree-climbing mustelids were released last month at secret locations in the steep, tree-lined valleys of Devon in what conservationists are hailing as a historic step in the restoration of the region’s woodlands.
The eight adult females and seven males were caught from resurgent populations in Scotland, meticulously checked for health, and driven to 10 woodland pens, where they were released under the cover of darkness well away from people and busy roads. The threat of road traffic is a big risk for the mostly nocturnal animals.
Fitted with GPS or radio tags depending on their size (lighter radio tags were used on the smaller individuals), the animals were fed in the pens for three days to acclimatise, before the doors were opened and the martens slipped away into the night.
Pine martens were driven to extinction in England at the turn of the 20th century by the loss of forests and persecution, with gamekeepers in particular targeting the animals for preying upon pheasants and poultry.“
Such people are wedded to the idea that the job of the Civil Service is “the management of decline“, in the 1960s phrase.

Iranian attack on Israel
Puzzling to an observer. It seems that the attack was mostly if not entirely on military targets. The Israelis are keeping the scale of the damage secret. I had thought that there would be a large number of civilian casualties (as when the Israelis attack Lebanon, Gaza, Syria etc) but it seems that hardly any Israelis have been killed or even injured.
I have seen no indication of whether the Dimona nuclear weapons plant was hit.
Likewise, it seems odd that the main international airport suffered no, or no substantial, damage. I should have thought that that would have been a priority target.
Looking on from outside, it is hard to fully understand both the overall situation and the details, such as how many rockets (and of what type) Iranian forces have; likewise on the Israeli side.
Well, appoint members of the House of Lords from the bazaars of South Asia, from the slums of Jamaica and West Africa, and from the tribe of “the usual suspects”, and naturally the whole institution crumbles. Who would have guessed?…
NEW Overwhelming support for James Cleverly in 10 random interviews I’ve just done for @GBNEWS with members leaving the hall just now. Many have switched from other candidates. It seems Cleverly won the debate in the hall. Will MPs put him through to the final two next week?…
A half-African, with a “degree” in Hospitality Management from Ealing College, as Leader of the Conservative Party and, potentially, as Prime Minister? What could possibly go wrong? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cleverly.
Having said that, the other three candidates are also bad jokes: a Nigerian woman married to a banker of uncertain provenance; a part-Jew former “chocolate soldier”; a dishonest and corrupt moneygrubber married to a Jewish woman lawyer. All three vocally pro-Israel.
At least Cleverly is rather less vocal in his support for Israel and the Jewish lobby.
I suppose that most scribblers and msm talking heads are expecting the Conservative Party to revive as Starmer’s hopeless government continues to falter (after only 3 months), but that may not happen.
For me, the most telling aspect of GE 2024 is that, in broad terms, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote at all. Beyond that, out of the 12 that did vote, only 4 voted “Labour”, only 3 voted “Conservative”, and then 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 (just about) voted Green.
At present, the underwhelming Reform UK is the only game in town in terms of becoming an unofficial populist Opposition. The LibDems are just beneficiaries of a ridiculously illogical voting system. The “don’t know how to vote so vote LibDem” party.
None of the 4 contenders for Conservative Party leadership are really of any importance; none —say I— will ever be Prime Minister.

“Labour MP Rosie Duffield has resigned the Labour whip with immediate effect.
Her resignation pulls no punches:
“As Prime Minister, your managerial and technocratic approach, and lack of basic politics and political instincts, have come crashing down on us as a party after we worked so hard, promised so much, and waited a long fourteen years to be mandated by the British public to return to power
Since the change of government in July, the revelations of hypocrisy have been staggering and increasingly outrageous.
I cannot put into words how angry I and my colleagues are at your total lack of understanding about how you have made us all appear.
How dare you take our longed-for victory, the electorate’s sacred and precious trust, and throw it back in their individual faces and the faces of dedicated and hardworking Labour MPs?!
The sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. I am so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party.”
I might not agree on everything with Rosie Duffield (specifically, her support for Israel and the Jewish lobby), but she certainly has principle. These days, in the political milieu, that is as rare and as valuable as rubies.
“Forcing a vote [on winter fuel payment] …while you and your favourite colleagues enjoy free family trips to events most people would have to save hard for — why are you not showing even the slightest bit of embarrassment?”
Starmer shows no embarrassment because he is not really a politician, let alone a statesman, but a technician, put into power by the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby to do a job: firstly to get rid of Corbyn and any non-Zionists in Labour, secondly to impose the ZOG/NWO regime, meaning pro-Israel and pro-“Ukraine” (the Zelensky Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) internationally, and a kind of “great reset” domestically; thirdly, to destroy what little free speech and freedom of expression still exists in the UK, fourthly, to impose a “woke” dictatorship intent on shipping into the UK as many non-whites as possible.

They regard him getting voted out because he said his constituents were extremists and told them to fuck off as a terrible, unforgivable injustice and a threat.
Interesting. Something of which I was previously unaware. I suppose it might just be co-incidence, but there so often do seem to be so many “co-incidences”…
It should be illegal for Penny Mordaunt and Kemi Badenoch to promote Israel as if it's something they know or believe when it's just a paid promotion of a Foreign power for a fee like promoting Marlboro cigarettes..

That kind of Jewish lobby (which after 1948 became also an Israel/State of Israel lobby) did exist prior to WW2. Churchill was its main agent; but it did not really or fully embed itself until after 1989, in the 1990s. Blair was, in this as in so many other negative things, the one who opened up the portal of darkness.
"I've always put my constituents first, and that hasn't changed." "Why don't you put that to the test?" "No."
Ha. Seems that her principles do not extend as far as giving up, or risking having to give up, the pay and perks of an MP. She understands all too well that, in a rigged system like this, the voting masses only vote for a label, at least 99% of the time. Which makes me wonder why she has left Labour. Maybe she will jump to Reform UK. Seems unlikely, though, especially in view of her solid electoral support at GE 2024— 41.4%, with Cons second on 23%.
I was just looking at Rosie Duffield’s bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Duffield. Not very impressive; not at all. The main thing that stands out is her pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby stance. I have noticed that the prolific and fanatical Jewish tweeters on Twitter/X always support her— a very bad sign.
Rosie Duffield cannot return to a well-paid outside profession or career, because she never had one. She dropped out of school at 16, and her main activity apart from being a mother was as a teaching assistant for a number of years. She was 46 when she became an MP in 2017.
Maybe Rosie Duffield, in the end, is just quite genuinely horrified by the evident unfitness of Starmer-Labour, and has simply decided to sit it out as an MP for the next 4+ years and then either not stand for re-election or maybe stand for Reform UK or as Independent. She might yet have a chance if she goes to Reform and if Reform is by then the main challenging party.
She is older than she looks and (born 1971) is now 53. By 2029, she will be 58. Perhaps she has little interest in continuing beyond that point.
As for Starmer, I said on the blog, about a week or so after GE 2024, that he had already failed in government.

“Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany’s main opposition party, the CDU, said that “Ukraine can never defeat Russia, and that was never the goal.” In an interview with Bild, he said that the allies are helping Ukraine “not to lose the war.”
Asked whether Ukraine should win the war, he replied: ” Ukraine will never be able to defeat Russia, that was never the goal. But for me victory means: it must restore sovereignty over its territory. And Russia must stop attacking this country. We must do everything to make Russia consider the continuation of the war hopeless. But we are quite far from that.”

Reminder: Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says free speech is a weapon of war, and censorship is necessary to protect free speech. pic.twitter.com/iM4g7RbyO7
That horrible creature of Evil, Jacinda Ardern, has been a major player in the attempt to create a world anti-white, anti-free speech dictatorship. New Zealand may be far away from almost everywhere but until about 30 years ago was an almost entirely English/Scottish new-ish society. That, of course, had to be trashed… How did they do it? Same as everywhere else of importance— imported non-white populations, and destroyed free speech.
People talk a lot of nonsense about how the white settlers took over the existing Maori state in the 19thC. There is of course a kernel of truth in that, but the main Maori invasion and/or settlement was in the 14thC AD, only c.400 years before the white European settlement. In any case, after the Europeans and Maori came to agreement, New Zealand was a progressive and peaceful society until the late 20thC.
Jacinda Ardern worked at a fairly high level for the UK Labour Party under Blair-Brown for 1-2 years before relocating back to New Zealand.
15 years as MP, of which about 6 were also years as Prime Minister (2017-2023).
One puzzling aspect of Jacinda Ardern’s political regime is that she came to power as Prime Minister with a rather small amount of capital, yet is now said to be worth tens of millions of NZ dollars. How?

Anyone who has lived in the USA knows to what extent the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby controls the major parts of the news media (TV stations, radio stations, the newspapers, magazines etc). I do not hear John Kerry talking about that, though…
While admittedly not germane to the tweet above, I do find it puzzling that the parents of Ed and David Miliband were supposedly “poor refugees” “fleeing” “Nazi-ism”, so how did they obviously have so much money?
“Belgian-born Marxist sociologist Ralph Miliband and Polish-born Marion Kozak [were] both from Polish Jewish families.[1][7][8] The latter was a teacher before she became a homemaker. He was given the middle name of “Wright” after the American sociologist C. Wright Mills, a friend of his father.[9] He has said “I am the child of Jewish immigrants and that is a very important part of my identity.”[7]
Both his Polish Jewish paternal grandparents lived in the Jewish quarter of Warsaw. His paternal grandfather, Samuel, a trained leather worker, served in the Red Army in the Polish–Soviet War of 1919–1921 before moving to Belgium.[10][11] His paternal grandmother, Renia (later known as Renée), also moved to Belgium, where she first met Sam, and the couple married in 1923.[12]
The German invasion of Belgium in May 1940 split the Miliband family in half: Ralph and father Samuel fled to England,[13] while Ralph’s mother Renée and baby sister Nan stayed behind for the duration of the war. They were not reunited until 1950.”
[Wikipedia]
“Miliband’s parents grew up in the impoverished Jewish quarter of Warsaw, Poland. His father Samuel Miliband (1895–1966) was a member of the socialist Jewish Labour Bund in Warsaw.[11]“
[Wikipedia]
“Ralph married Polish-born Marion Kozak in September 1961.[25] She was the daughter of a steel manufacturer, David Kozak, with a Polish Jewish heritage, and also one of his former students at the LSE. They made a home in Primrose Hill, and later in Bolton Gardens, South Kensington, and had two sons, David in 1965 and Edward in 1969.“
So they flee penniless, supposedly, from mainland Europe, and not only get jobs in London; they have a house or apartment (I think house), firstly in the affluent area of Primrose Hill, and then in the extremely affluent/wealthy area of The Boltons, in South Kensington.
Even in the 1950s and 1960s, those were very expensive areas.
Moreover, their two children both go to university, and not just any university but Oxford (Corpus Christi).
Ed Miliband had so much money that, when he became Labour Party leader, Jeremy Paxman actually taxed him in interview with the question as to whether he had ever had trouble paying a bill. He floundered.
Puzzling all the same. We always hear how the “Nazis” confiscated all Jewish property. Does that mean that those Jews had riches stashed in other countries? If so, at least some “Nazi” propaganda would seem to be based on truth…
If you take away the msm scribblers and photographers, maybe 20 Young (not to say “callow”) Conservatives…
Labour are rubbish (and malicious), the equally-fake Conservative Party is equally-rubbish (the only reason Labour are in government is because almost all voters wanted the Cons out rather than Lab in).

I like that kind of aerial travelogue, and this one was done reasonably well, except that the (Northern English) voiceover insisted on using the term “Nazi” when she meant “German“, as in potential “Nazi invasion” of the UK, or “Nazi bombs” falling on this or that city. I was glad, though, to see/hear the amusingly nerdy young custodian (?) or historian at Bletchley Park refer, correctly, to the encrypted matter and codes being studied as “German“, rather than “Nazi“.

With the “Conservative” Party as good as dead, and with fake “Labour” already, after only 2 months in office, crashing and burning, it is not impossible that, failing the emergence of a real social-national movement, desperate voters will have only Reform UK for which to vote in 2029 or 2028.
Those hundreds of “diverse” “Labour”-label idiots presently in the Commons will then die off like flies in Autumn.
Every time I think I couldn't be more shocked by the dystopian reality of British ‘public health’ policy and its associated ecosystem, something else comes along to knock me off my chair. This time, it's the turn of the ‘sick man of Europe report’ released yesterday.
It's like we're being prepared, with tons of them saying "I'm done with Musk and X. If you want to follow me, I'll be on BlueSky." Feels like setting the groundwork so that everyone thinks "ooh, I'll move over there too", making it easy for the Labour Party to censor Twitter.
The David Morgan Twitter/X account is one of the most worthwhile of those dealing with certain problems head-on. Those with a Twitter/X account will find his material of interest should they follow it.
Morgan, however, must —and probably does— realize that many types of people suffered both before and during the Second World War (and in the mid/late 1940s, after it ended). In most cases, not at the hands of National Socialist Germany (contrary to that which “the usual suspects” tend to say).
My generation, Gen Z is more awake than people realize.
“Keir Starmer has suffered a precipitous fall in his personal ratings since winning the election, according to a new poll for the Observer that comes before his first Labour conference as prime minister.
The latest Opinium poll reveals that Starmer’s approval rating has plunged below that of the Tory leader Rishi Sunak, suffering a huge 45-point drop since July. While 24% of voters approve of the job he is doing, 50% disapprove, giving him a net rating of -26%. Sunak’s net rating is one point better.
In a troubling assessment of the government’s opening months, only 27% think it has so far been a success, while 57% think it has not been successful. Even a third (32%) of those who voted for Labour at the last election believe the government has not been a success in its opening two months. Labour is seen as focusing too much on the government’s fiscal position when the public want them to focus on growing the economy.
James Crouch, head of policy and public affairs at Opinium said: “While the prime minister might have a world-beating new wardrobe, voters are refusing to wear his government’s austerity drive.“

So thick-as-two-short-planks “Deputy Prime Minister” Angela Rayner took “a friend” on her freebie break in Manhattan, as well as going (on another freebie break?) to Ibiza, where she made the UK a laughing stock by her vulgar antics in the so-called “VIP area” of a noisy horrible nightclub of some sort? (at age 44).
Very true, but that should not be used as a reason or excuse to vandalize the English countryside with tracts of boring, poorly-designed and ugly housing, with inadequate infrastructure (a fortiori, if that housing is destined to be used as hutches for migrant-invaders).
Sadly, when said friends were featured in a national newspaper gossip piece about him (meaning, about Scruton hobnobbing with people having radical “neo-fascist” political connections), Scruton decided to cut them from his acquaintances for reasons of careerism.
Scruton was a very influential academic later in his career, and published over 50 books which were translated into many languages, especially in Eastern and Central Europe (I myself recall seeing an entire bookshop window of Scruton’s works in Czech in the Old Town of Prague in 1999). Scruton, though, was fatally flawed by his wish to make money.

This of course is before what is going to be a pretty disastrous budget
Bearing in mind that only 4 out of 12 voting voters (4 out of 20 eligible) actually voted for Labour anyway, that is pretty damning, and much less than 3 months in.
Migrant-invaders. At best— useless parasites; at worst— criminals and/or terrorists.
Anyone supporting this invasion is, in a very real sense, a traitor to the British people and to all European people— and the future.
707. In a single day. All will now be housed, fed, given money, given medical and dental services, given other services etc by the “government”, i.e. out of the pockets of the British people. About £200 per day each. Maybe more. So at least £140,000 per day, just for today’s consignment of riff-raff.
Meanwhile, Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment and “elected” dictatorship is throwing billions at “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev), at African and Asian wastes of space, at all sorts of nonsense, and is cheating all British people, especially pensioners but also, down the line, the middle-aged and young (deprived of a decent future).
The Chief of the SIS/MI6 said, just a few days ago, that “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) has “the will to fight“. Ha. Most Ukrainians are trying to avoid or evade the draft (and we could save many billions in two ways— 1. by taking away Zelensky’s ricebowl; 2. by cutting back severely the huge amounts wasted on a “Secret Intelligence Service” that seems to accomplish nothing much of the time.
[note: before I could publish, the tweet above was either unpublished or (more likely) censored in some way.

Someone with hundreds or thousands of millions wants more than money; he wants power and influence. Whole cabals may be the same. Look at Twitter/X.

Pensioners freezing to death. Energy bills going up despite promises to cut them. Dangerous criminals being released onto the streets. The highest taxpayers fleeing the country. How’s that Labour vote working out for you?
The “Conservative” rabble had to go, and that was the reason people voted to bin them. However, it has to be repeated that, of every 20 eligible voters, only 4 voted Labour.
Starmer-Labour has no real or genuine mandate.
We are releasing 5,000 prisoners early this autumn while there are 10,400 foreign nationals in UK prisons. We should be deporting the latter to make room for the former and keep the British people safe.
In fact, a very high proportion of UK prisoners who are “British” nationals are also non-white, a fact which I noticed when I started at the Bar over 30 years ago. White British people are probably no more than half of the UK prison population, if that, despite comprising, still, maybe 80% of the UK population as a whole.

“UK police are recording too many hate crime incidents, getting involved in disputes that include “hurt feelings” and violating “common sense”, police watchdog warnshttps://t.co/823JvdgqHz
In my last decade or so, or “time of troubles”, I have had the unsought opportunity to assess at first-hand the abilities and attitudes of what now passes for a “police force” in England. Unimpressive. Semi-educated young (mostly young) men and women, their little heads full of “diversity” and “anti-racism” nonsense, purporting to lay down the law (which they plainly often do not even know or understand), and acting, pathetically, as a kind of poundshop Stasi.
As far as doing their proper job is concerned, the police in the UK are almost useless. On the two occasions over the past 15 years when I have been the victim of acquisitive crime (once when a whole wheel was stolen from my car, another time when a previous car was broken into and the door almost wrenched off), the police did nothing but record the incident and give me a number for my insurers, not even when (in relation to the wheel theft) I passed on, online, very cogent evidence as to the likely “type” and almost exact location of the likely perpetrators.
Useless. Not worth their salt.

Yvette Cooper (yet another Labour Friends of Israel member) is repeatedly dishonest. In the 2005-2010 Parliament, she and her husband, Ed Balls, were major expenses cheats and fraudsters.
Having said that, I sometimes muse as to whether treacherous evildoers such as Yvette Cooper have really thought through the consequences of what amounts to the treason of swamping the UK with ever-greater numbers of backward people from all over the world. I mean, as to what the socio-political situation here might be like in 5, 10, 20, 50 years. If they have, then their evil is even more culpable.

Dan Hodges seems to have forgotten (assuming that he ever knew) that, in the Soviet Union, in Stalin’s day and even afterward, ordinary criminals were often treated better than “politicals”.
In any case, the “police state” aspect in question is not Hodges’ “early release” red herring but the incarceration of people for minor disorder, or for tweeting comments etc.
The present UK situation is similar (don’t forget Starmer’s extreme pseudo-socialist ideological background): the real criminals are being released after having served only 40% —with other measures in place, as little as 20%— of their headline sentences, but —by any other name— political, or treated as political, prisoners are being swiftly incarcerated, and are being more harshly sentenced as well.
Incidentally, not only those convicted following the recent protests and/or “riots” (nb. I myself do not consider saying “boo!” to a police riot squad operative, pushing at his plastic shield, looting a sausage-roll shop, or even overturning the odd police car, a “riot” nor indeed a “political protest” as such).
A while ago, I read that a young man had served his entire headline sentence (6 years, I think), having been convicted on one of those trumped-up bs pseudo-“terrorism” charges the UK police and Clown Prosecution Service seem to love today (they often involve an accusation that the accused shared some or another “terrorist” material online, and at the same time owned completely lawful objects such as copies of Mein Kampf or a picture of Hitler; random pieces of circumstantial “evidence” put in to bamboozle a typical low-IQ rubber-stamp “British” jury).
More broadly, the lack of real knowledge of history is widespread now. As G.K. Chesterton said, he feared the uneducated less than he feared the badly-educated.
The “Chaser”, Jenny Ryan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Ryan], fluffed the question “which of these three was first to be named as Time magazine Man of the Year in 1923?“, the three being Mussolini, Hitler, or Stalin.
I thought Mussolini (because of the October 1922 March on Rome, after which Mussolini became Prime Minister), and that turned out to be the correct answer. However, it occurred to me that there was at least a possibility that the correct answer would be Hitler (because of the Beer Hall Putsch of November 1923).
However, Jenny Ryan, “the Vixen”, thought that Stalin was the right answer, afterwards commenting that she had “thought that Stalin was a much bigger figure back then“, thus showing ignorance of the history of all three countries concerned (Stalin’s more or less supreme power in the Soviet Union only dated from about 1928, though it increased from 1924; in 1923, Lenin was still alive, and the leadership still somewhat collegial). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin#1924%E2%80%931927:_Succeeding_Lenin.
“The Vixen” later made another mistake on the same show, in failing to choose Offa as the answer to a question on Anglo-Saxon history; she chose “Cnut” (Canute), but he was not even an Anglo-Saxon king (though admittedly a king during the Anglo-Saxon period). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offa_of_Mercia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnut.
That’s the problem with such quiz shows, esp. The Chase. The “Chasers” and others have memorized lists, and (some) facts, but generally have no real in-depth background. I have noticed that with other Chasers, such as “The Beast”, Mark Labett.
“A little knowledge is a dangerous thing“, especially in political journalism.
Au contraire. Starmer and his pack (Yvette Cooper etc) do care about free speech— about shutting it down, that is.

In the end, though, the Starmer-Labour government, for all its “massive majority” triumphalism, only got the votes of 4 people out of every 20 (eligible), 4 out of every 12 people (that voted). Quite a number of even the voters that voted Labour only did so to make sure that the Conservative Party lost the election.
The real support for Labour is about 10% of the population. The real support for the attack on free speech etc is even smaller, only a few percent of the whole population.
Starmer and Labour have no legitimate mandate.

I agree.
The police and Clown Prosecution Service love the “performative” stuff such as “storming” a plane to arrest someone (rather than waiting until the passengers disembark and go through immigration in the normal way, then quietly detaining the suspect).
It’s all part of the Starmer-Labour poundland police state and TV/Press show for the masses. Pretending that throwing a plastic bollard or a wheelie bin is “terrorism” etc.

Keir Starmer’s failure to protect public safety while targeting social media critics is disgraceful, especially given his long tenure as a prosecutor. His problem is he’s a prosecutor trying to play PM with a lock-'em-up attitude, betraying public trust.
Who would have thought it? Still, no doubt (in the tiny little minds of Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and ludicrous “lord chancellor” Shabana Mahmood) that real criminals doing real crime is the better option, as compared to middle-aged housewives and others being released and then making socio-political remarks on Facebook or Twitter.

He became notable during the reign of King James II, rising to the position of Lord Chancellor (and serving as Lord High Steward in certain instances). His conduct as a judge was to enforce royal policy, resulting in a historical reputation for severity and bias.”
The judge said: "Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you…
“This is how ludicrous things have become. The judge said: “Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you spat at anybody. But it is accepted by you that you were a party to this disorder and I have to sentence you on that basis, and you know that anyone party to it has to receive a custodial sentence.” Man described by judge as the ‘least involved’ in riot jailed for a yearhttps://telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/13/youngest-female-rioter-13-court-mother-step-father/“
I was not familiar with the facts of the case until (just now) reading the above link, but if the defendant did actually nothing, neither by deed nor by word (of incitement, though he did say things of an insulting and profane character), then how could any judge, properly directing himself, either find the defendant guilty (even on a plea of guilty, which may have been procured by fear of a heavier sentence yet) or hand down any custodial sentence?
I see now, in the Daily Telegraph report, that the defendant did in fact push at a police riot shield, though once only.
The judge was fair enough to have gone into recess at the trial, until further video evidence was screened.
Surely appealable, at least on sentence.
Indeed, if the defendant’s only action had been to be at the scene, and even if, so to speak, “silently in agreement” with the acts done by others, then that surely would not be enough? His words actually said were at worst ambiguous, in my view. Meaning that, on those premises, arguende, there was no actus reus sufficient in law (?). However, the pushing of the riot shield might (and obviously did) change that, in the mind of the judge. Rather thin, though.
Even if the judge felt impelled to imprison that defendant, surely 3 months would have been more than enough? He would then have been released within 4-5 weeks. Now, he will be spending about 5 months in prison, unless he gets bail pending any appeal on sentence.
Strongly favours migration-invasion, and mass immigration generally. Pretends to think that it actually benefits this country! An enemy of Britain’s future.
@Fox_Claire on @BBCNewsnight just pointed out that while there are dedicated squads of police trawling social media for people to prosecute, if you call the cops because someone has burgled your house or stolen your car they're always too busy.

(to British families or individuals only, though, not to migrant-invaders or any other non-Europeans).
A 53-year-old woman, the primary carer for her husband, who led a "kind and compassionate lifestyle". Sentenced to 15 months of prison time for a quickly deleted FB post. As she was convicted, she replied, “Thank you, your honour". Just awful. .https://t.co/7dTwlaI049
Again, plainly excessive. A suspended sentence would have been appropriate; the immediate 15 months, in all the circumstances, and seeing the strong personal/family mitigation— savage. As it is, the defendant will only be released after 5 months (minus a few days).
Starmer and his compliant judges may have repressed the recent protests (which were coming to an end anyway— the (((Hope not Hate))) cabal just invented the spectre of 100 more “far right” protests— but, in my opinion, people are getting even angrier, albeit under the surface, and with both the general situation in the country and about the “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by a mere 20% of eligible voters) of Two-Tier Keir.
People are just wary of openly saying or publishing online anything now, because of the open repression of free speech, and because of the police-state over-reaction by both Two-Tier Keir and those judges who have recently been giving out Cold War East European-style “People’s Court” sentences (for political “crimes” only).

🇺🇦ZELENSKY APPROVED PLAN TO BLOW UP NORD STREAM PIPELINES
Despite the mainstream media saying for months that Russia blew up the pipelines, the Wall Street Journal has now revealed it was planned and executed by Ukraine at a cost of $300,000.
“ZELENSKY APPROVED PLAN TO BLOW UP NORD STREAM PIPELINES
Despite the mainstream media saying for months that Russia blew up the pipelines, the Wall Street Journal has now revealed it was planned and executed by Ukraine at a cost of $300,000.
When the CIA learned of the plan they told Zelesnky to abort it, however it still went ahead. According to senior Ukrainian defense and security officials, the pipelines were a legitimate target. They are jointly owned by Russian, German, French, and Dutch companies, and the explosion caused 800 million cubic meters of gas, equivalent to about 3 months of Danish gas supplies, to escape.
It’s a problem for Germany, as a senior official said: “An attack of this scale is a sufficient reason to trigger the collective defense clause of NATO, but our critical infrastructure was blown up by a country that we support with massive weapons shipments and billions in cash.” Ukraine still officially denies involvement in the attack.
The vulgar mercantilist influence comes out in the language, and has for a number of years.
Apart from that, throwing money at a trade union or its members, in order to ensure a period without strikes, is easy enough, and not some masterstroke of Labour Party industrial relations.
You have until Monday to apply to be in charge of the UK's trade with Poland: a top-15 UK trading partner with £31 billion (up 15% YoY) and buffer against Russia.
Pay: £33k.
Otherwise, a nearby Bill’s restaurant is advertising for a sous chef: £40k https://t.co/9gTRkXsVfP

You consistently opposed the one law that created a legal duty on UK universities to promote free speech& protect scholars who do not support the woke orthodoxy. So we shall take no lectures on free speech from you. https://t.co/dxoYS3KRmn
Then compare that to the equally inaccurate and one-sided BBC and Sky News (etc) reportage about the Ukraine conflict, the migration-invasion and much else.
Other than in the most egregious cases, such as where there is clear evidence of incitement to violence or law-breaking, I don't think anyone should be sent to jail for something they wrote on social media. That is a hill worth dying on.
I agree completely. The UK has gone slowly mad in that regard over the past 50 years and especially the past 25 years.

Example(s) of and from what Katie Hopkins calls “Batshit Bonkers Britain”.
Quite remarkable to see so many colleagues on the left reveal themselves as true "hang 'em, flog 'em" reactionaries after spending years berating me for the same thing!
As frequently noted on the blog over the past 7 years, the self-describing “Left” has almost nothing left except hysterical demands that “the authorities” should “deplatform” anyone of whom they disapprove, or who is not of the “woke” orthodoxy. It even came out during the “Covid” hysteria of a few years ago.
The once-socialist so-called “Left” and/or “antifascist” tendency has actually nothing to offer the British people. No ideals. No ideas. Just witch-hunts.
Incidentally, anyone wanting to confirm that those sorts of individuals really are of “Batshit Bonkers Britain”, read this

“The Kursk operation serves to create the illusion of progress.
It is possible that the United States participated in providing the intelligence that the Armed Forces of Ukraine needed to attack the Kursk region, said former Pentagon adviser Douglas McGregor.
The goal of the operation is to create the illusion of success so that warmongers in Washington will continue to send money to Ukraine, he emphasized.“
Exactly.
