“Keir Starmer is looking into plans to process asylum seekers outside the UK as part of a rethink of the government’s immigration policies, even as a returns agreement with the EU appears more distant than ever.
The prime minister said on Thursday he was open to the idea of Britain processing claims offshore, after a day spent discussing illegal migration with fellow European leaders at Blenheim Palace. Those talks, as part of the European Political Community summit, included a meeting with Edi Rama, the Albanian prime minister, whose country processes asylum claims on behalf of Italy.
But he said a deal to return refused asylum seekers to the EU was low on his list of priorities, as the French president, Emmanuel Macron, warned his country was not willing to shoulder the additional burden.
“But look, I’m a practical person. I’m a pragmatist. And I’ve always said we’ll look at what works and where cases can be processed closer to origin, then that is something which of course ought to be looked at.”
[The Guardian]
As I have been predicting for many months on the blog, Starmer will “solve” the “small boats” migration invasion, meaning get it off the TV news agenda, by simply “processing” the applications of the invaders long before they reach the UK, whether that be in France, in Albania, in Italy, or even in Africa.
“Processing” will mean, in this context, rubberstamping 90% or more of the applications. Probably more, looking at how about 80% of the applications of the present wave of invaders are eventually approved once they land in the UK (and the rest not deported anyway).
What about those, the small minority no doubt, who apply for asylum in those extra-territorial processing centres or offices but are refused? Is Starmer pretending that they will be content to stay in, or return to, their native countries? Of course they will not. They will simply make their way to the English Channel and then try to cross it.

Mirabile dictu! Former-MP and Israel-puppet Largan has said something with which I can agree.
I have noted in the past on the blog the inadequacy of so many post-1945 public buildings in the UK, for example the court buildings in both London and the provinces. Some are OK, or even impressive, but more are not. Compare them to most of the American court buildings, such as the Federal court building in Trenton, New Jersey, where I was, several times, over 30 years ago:
So ugly, one is prompted to speculate, “Britischer Architekt?” Still, quite large and impressive at least.
I see that that 1980s building is named after a former Governor of the state, who was also at one time Chief Justice of New Jersey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_J._Hughes_Justice_Complex#Dedication. I was very slightly acquainted with one of his sons, who himself became a Federal magistrate in 1991, a year or two after I was introduced to him; I met him again, en passant, a few times, in the years 1989-1991: https://www.pli.edu/faculty/hon.-john-j.-hughes-i1305491. He was all right, but not the most social person in the world, to be frank. Not sure that I would have liked to have been a defendant in his court…

Well, amazing. A second tweet of Largan that I like. Two in one day. Amazing.
If those poetic lines are original, from Largan himself, then he has a poetic sophistication, though not unflawed, at which I should not have guessed, to be frank.

This must surely seal the Presidential race for Trump, even if the Democrats replace Biden with someone compos mentis.
Having said that, were Biden to be replaced by someone such as Michelle Obama, popular —God knows why— among the non-whites who are now the majority of the American population, it is possible that Trump might lose, I suppose, but that really might see an actual civil war develop.
Have we just seen and heard, in those popping shots at the Trump rally, the first shots of the second American Civil War, akin to the shot fired at Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina in 1861, or even that fired by the cruiser Aurora in 1917?
Is anything Liz Truss may think even worth reporting? Her rise to prominence, then —briefly— power came as a result of peculiar and particular political circumstances; and, after all, she only became an MP in the first place on her back.
Were her crazy idea about pension age ever to be implemented, it would cause an electoral, and perhaps actual, rebellion that would make the rise of Reform UK look like the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.

The Labour hegemony in the younger age-groups (highest in the 25-34 age-group— 46%) will not last. The wider 18-44 group —where Labour support was, at GE 2024, over 40%— will soon defect or fall away when Labour fails to improve the housing crisis, or improve the poor deal renters get in the UK, among other issues.

I see that the little world of UK Twitter/X is going mad because Farage is going to visit Trump. According to those Twitter-twits, Farage is neglecting his duties as MP and, in particular, neglecting the constituents of Clacton by briefly going to the USA. They obviously have no idea that a great many MPs either do nothing at all for their (notional) constituents, or send pro-forma letters back to them, explaining why they can do little or nothing. There are exceptions, but those are exceptions to the general rule of uselessness.

“Ukrainians view the West’s promises to support Kiev “as long as necessary” as an empty story, Politiko writes. ” Due to the weakening of Western support, Ukraine is experiencing an acute shortage not only of weapons and men, but also of the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Neither the population, nor the soldiers, nor their leadership anymore believe in the victory of Kiev. Russian leader Vladimir Putin may never have been closer to his goal “, the paper writes.”
The Western states may supply arms and ammunition but cannot supply fighting soldiers. The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers, and new recruits. It can only be a matter of time before there is a general advance of Russian forces across both Eastern Ukraine and the Black Sea littoral towards Odessa.
“A barrister who was jailed for asking clients to sell him drugs has failed in a bid to overturn his 14-month prison sentence.
Henry Hendron, 42, sent messages asking for help with drugs supply, after meeting the men through his work as a criminal lawyer.
Delivering the ruling, Recorder of Sheffield Judge Jeremy Richardson, sitting with Lord Justice William Davis and Mr Justice Calver, said Hendron’s case is “unique” and added: “It is to be hoped that remains the case.”
Dismissing the appeal, the judges concluded: “The sentence here is not excessive, still less manifestly excessive in all the circumstances.”
Hendron had built up a profile as a barrister to the stars, with prominent clients including the Earl of Cardigan and Tory MP Nadine Dorries.
But Hendron’s career floundered after his 18-year-old boyfriend Miguel Jimenez was found dead at the flat the couple shared in Pump Court, Temple, in the City of London, after taking a lethal cocktail of so-called chemsex party drugs.
He admitted buying £1,000 worth of M-cat or Meow Meow and GBL from award-winning former BBC producer Alex Parkin and was handed a community order with 140 hours of unpaid work at the Old Bailey in 2016.
The Court of Appeal noted that Hendron had not been disbarred after that conviction, noting “unusual and very serious” feature of his case.
He was suspended by the Bar Standards Board for three years following his 2016 convictions.
He was reprimanded and prohibited from undertaking public access work for two years following a disciplinary hearing in 2021 after holding himself out as a barrister on websites while suspended.“
In that blog post, I speculated as to whether Hendron knew something discreditable about senior figures or, perhaps, was being treated leniently by reason of some other kind. I am still none the wiser on that, however.
It seems, on the face of that Evening Standard report, though, that Hendron is still not disbarred. Curiouser and curiouser.

“My friend grew up in New England where they have pigeons. Apparently they also hate them. He was always saying bad things about pigeons until I pointed something out that he never thought of before: We domesticated pigeons. They are (nearly) all over the world because HUMANS BROUGHT THEM THERE. And, they were more than pets. They carried messages. People raced them. They lived spoiled lives as honored human companions for centuries. Then we got telephones and we threw them out like trash. Literally, we threw them away. Their species had already been fully domesticated and they could not survive in the wild; they lost all their survival instincts during the centuries that they lived caged by people. That is why they live in cities with people instead of in a forest somewhere. It’s OUR fault. And not only did we throw them away, but now humans curse them as “winged rats;” casting them as pests. But they don’t know how to live without us, and their instincts tell us that they should trust us. So, they continue to come up to humans and beg for food, because it’s the only survival skill left in their genes. They love us because they were bred by us to feel that way, and yet we hate them.”
Good points. Urban pigeons can be a nuisance, true, but they also clear up rubbish people throw away or drop in the streets, like crisps and chips. In the end, they are God’s creatures.

After quitting school at the age of 15, entrepreneurial Lewis went to work for his dad’s catering company.

He then got a taste for business and took over the firm – turning it into a string of restaurants before flogging it in 1979 for a whopping £30million.
Lewis used his cash influx to invest in currency trading and was subbed The Boxer in a nod to his wild success and power in the investment ring.
Lewis forked out £22million in 2001 to buy a controlling stake in Tottenham Hotspur from Lord Sugar.

His wife, Dr Shivani Tanna, said it was ‘terrifying’ for him to realise that doctors there didn’t ‘understand’ HLH, for which he sat on a national panel.
As a result, despite being seriously unwell and feeling ‘foggy in the brain’, he had to help advise doctors on how to treat him.
But even though he was a haematologist himself, he faced a struggle to persuade nurses to show him his blood test results, she said.
‘He kept himself alive on the wards because he was a doctor,’ Dr Tanna told Manchester Coroner’s Court.
If he had just been ‘Joe Bloggs’, he would have been dead within three days of being admitted, ‘just by sheer negligence’, she claimed.“

In fact, Younger is just part of the problem, and offers no solutions.

Younger seems entirely unaware that, even now, the UK seems (not to me, but to most of the British people, meaning real British people) not worth defending. What does Younger think the UK will be like by, say, 2034? 2044?
By 2050, half of those inhabiting these islands will not even be British in any real sense. Does Younger imagine that they will agree to be conscripted? Incidentally, it is no answer to say that the agreement of the conscripted is unnecessary; enlistment of the unwilling usually produces poor results.
Younger seems to be part of that UK pseudo-elite at the top of UK affairs which is so featherbedded and isolated from reality—reality as most people experience it in this country— that the same (self-regarding) “elite” constantly get it wrong in every way.

I've never felt so unrepresented by Parliament as I do now. I won't just pick on the Tories here, I'll pick on all the main Parties. They've not only turned their back on the country/UK, I feel like they've turned their back on us, the indigenous population.
Labour voters voted for Brexit too. And Labour are even worse when it comes to the rest of the pantomime that is politics in this country.
— Christine MacKenzie (@Christi61144576) April 5, 2024
Good point (about Labour), but GE 2024 will be more about judging the Con Party record than supporting the underwhelming Lab promises.
As for Brexit, it might have worked had it been done properly, and still could, were there a real British government in place, and one willing to treat with Russia. Britain could have very cheap oil and gas, and an open market.
The wide-eyed empty-headed simpering that passes for centrist analysis, failing to take into consideration Starmer's personal standing or the fact the Tories have imploded utterly.
I have no idea who the bimbo is, presumably some sort of “journalist” (scribbler). The fall of journalism in this country has been one of the most disappointing developments during my lifetime, I should say.
Look at the state of British politics we have gotten to the stage now where MP’s and political parties feel comfortable enough to blatantly flaunt their corruption and laugh about it and at us 😡
Labour are not going to win the next general election, the Tories are going to lose it. When asked people just want the Tories out and will vote on that basis. There's a world of difference in voting for something, or against. Doing brilliantly, my ar$e.

I am still inviting donations to my crowdfund appeal, to defray the imposed costs of my recent free speech trial. If you cannot donate, please share the link wherever you can. Thank you, and again thanks to those who have already donated, or shared the link.
Simplistic, of course, but largely true all the same.
Crowdfunder
My crowdfunder rose overnight to £180, not bad in view of the fact that I cannot publicize it on social media (I having no such accounts), and also that it has only been running for 3-4 days.
The official Court notification arrived today. The total amount of “costs” and “surcharge” comes to slightly less than I thought— £714, so we have already raised a quarter of that sum, thanks to the four generous souls who have donated so far. Thank all of you.

“NATO is losing experienced soldiers due to the low attractiveness of military service Against the backdrop of the Ukrainian conflict, NATO troops are faced with a personnel shortage.
This is not so much about recruiting new recruits, but about retaining soldiers and officers who are already in service, writes Politico. European countries that rely on professional militaries are trying to make their armed forces more attractive. But this is difficult to achieve in times of low unemployment, fierce competition from the private sector and widespread use of remote work, the publication explains.
A recent report presented in the German parliament showed that 1,537 soldiers left the Bundeswehr in 2023. In addition to increasing layoffs, the German army has to deal with dilapidated infrastructure, the repair of which could cost about €50 billion, Politico notes.
French Minister of the Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu admitted that the difficulty of “retaining” personnel exists in many allied countries. Paris and some other NATO members hope to stimulate the military with higher salaries and social guarantees, the article notes. Money does play a significant role in keeping people in the military. But the problem is that the conditions of service in NATO armies are not that attractive. After all, chronic overtime, the inability to get home for many months and a lack of days off are commonplace there, Politico emphasizes.“
If NATO were to stop interfering in Ukraine, the Middle East, and elsewhere, that shortage of personnel would not even be a problem. Meanwhile, almost all NATO states are suffering from non-European migration-invasion, and no amount of new or old soldiers will stop that, because the NWO-ZOG political leadership is encouraging mass immigration into the European space.

2024 may see a general advance by Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine. It is an open question whether the Stavka and Putin will await the 2024 UK and US elections. If there is any pause (which I doubt), 2025 will surely bring victory over the Kiev regime.

That underwhelming career somehow morphed into her “advising” some of the leading figures in the Labour Party 2007-2015. How? Why?
By 2016, Ayesha Hazarika had picked up an MBE, been proposed but not confirmed for nomination for a peerage, was somehow inescapable on msm TV and radio politics shows for several years and, after having been vocally anti-Corbyn, was nominated for a peerage by Israel-puppet Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, finally being elevated to the (now surely totally devalued) House of Lords in 2024, at the age of 48. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayesha_Hazarika,_Baroness_Hazarika
As can be seen, the common thread through that career, certainly after 2007, seems to have been the “usual” lobby…
That is the kind of individual now making law in the UK.
I have seen Ayesha Hazarika a number of times on TV, though quite a few years ago. I never heard her say anything of interest, as far as I can recall.

“Police officers in Scotland are being given training to target social media posts, including re-tweets, of material deemed “threatening and abusive.”
Under the county’s new hate crime law, actors and comedians are not given a free pass to make jokes about sensitive subjects that offend people, either. The new training provided to officers, which was leaked to The Herald, requires police officers to go after anyone who produces material deemed “threatening and abusive,” which can also be communicated through “public performance of a play.”
Under the new hate crime law, people who make fun of or misgender trans people, make racial jokes or criticisms of certain religions, or criticize migrants can be prosecuted.
“The different ways in which a person may communicate material to another person are by: displaying, publishing or distributing the material, for example on a sign, on the internet through websites, blogs, podcasts, social media etc., either directly, or by forwarding or repeating material that originates from a third party, through printed media such as magazine publications or leaflets.”
The hate crime law goes on to state that “giving, sending, showing, or playing the material to another person” listing examples such as “through online streaming, by email, playing a video, through public performance of a play.” So repeat a joke you heard online, or show someone a spicy meme or commentary of a transgender person or mass migration on your livestream, and, and you too will be arrested.

“HMRC has sparked fury by announcing it will permanently close tax helplines for six months and let 100 customer service staff work a three-day week over the summer.
Taxpayers will not be able to call the tax office for help with their returns from April 8 until September 30, HM Revenue and Custom has today announced.
The move comes just weeks after the Commons Public Accounts Committee of MPs condemned HMRC’s customer service for hitting an ‘all-time low’.
New figures showed how almost 1million calls went unanswered in January – typically the busiest month of the year for the service, with taxpayers rushing to file for self-assessment tax returns without triggering fines for lateness.”
Jesus H. Christ…does anything work properly in this country any more?!
Having said that, when I had (historical) tax problems and had to engage with the Revenue, well over a decade ago, especially in 2010-2011, I was quite frankly amazed to see how utterly shambolic the HMRC “service” actually was. It’s an overused term, but it was “Kafka-esque” to a degree I would not have believed had I not experienced it myself.
So now it is actually worse? Hard to believe. The one comfort I have from that very stressful period many years ago is that, soon after I got off the hook, and during the Cameron-Levita/Osborne “austerity” programme, most if not all of the HMRC staff that had harassed and annoyed me, and created problems for me, lost their jobs. Suck on that…
Still, all’s well that ends well…my income is now so low that the shambles of administration in that “service” need not concern me. My problems with “the taxman” were settled to my satisfaction in 2012.

Violence broke out outside the Suites Hotel in Knowsley, Merseyside, last year which was providing temporary accommodation for asylum seekers.
Brian McPadden, 61, of Kirkby, was jailed for three years and six months at Liverpool Crown Court.
There were gasps from the public gallery as he was jailed. Thomas Mills, 47, who brought a banner to the protest urging people to shout to get the asylum seekers out, was sentenced to two years and eight months.
Paul Lafferty, 42, was handed the same sentence while Jonjo O’Donoghue, 21, of Liverpool, was sentenced to three years and six months in a young offenders institution. Former British Army soldier Liam Jones was sentenced to 27 months while John Tippler, 59, was jailed for two years.

“A Utah mother whose harsh parenting advice made her a YouTube influencer has been sentenced to at least four years in prison for child abuse.
The two women were arrested in August 2023 after Franke’s malnourished 12-year-old son climbed out of a window at Hildebrandt’s house in Ivins, Utah. Police said the child then ran to a neighbour’s house and asked for food and water. He had lacerations from being tied up with rope, according to police records.
“[YouTube] fans started to become suspicious in 2020, when one of her sons mentioned that he had been forced to sleep on a bean bag for seven months.
YouTube viewers combed through her archives and pointed out other disturbing and controversial methods used by Franke – such as withholding food, threatening to chop the head off a toy stuffed animal and “cancelling” Christmas as a punishment.
Franke then began appearing in YouTube videos posted by Ms Hildebrandt – a counsellor and life coach – on her site, ConneXions Classroom.
Away from the camera, however, Franke’s children were being subjected to even harsher abuse.
This included tying them up, beating and kicking them, neglecting to feed them and forcing them to work outdoors in the summer without sunscreen, resulting in serious sunburn, according to police records.
In a plea agreement, Hildebrandt stated that she either tortured the children or was aware of the abuse and that she forced one of Franke’s daughters to “jump into a cactus multiple times”.

Terrible, and comes against a background of too-strict American parenting, though plenty of too-indulgent parenting exists there too. I concede that, as someone without offspring, I write as a mere observer. I do think, though, that many Americans are too strict with their children, but I admit that I have also seen much of the opposite tendency (children allowed to behave and speak rather rudely).

As Powell said, “we must be mad, literally mad“, but it is not the British people themselves but a small minority —at Westminster, in the newspapers, on TV and radio, in the legal professions and the universities etc— who are the guilty parties.

“My daughter is two years-old. She’s already lived through three prime ministers, four chancellors, two monarchs, a global pandemic, and wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. What will she live through in the years ahead, I often wonder?
It’s a question most parents ask themselves. And it’s one I asked myself again yesterday while reading a new forecast on how Britain’s population will change over the next twelve years —which is not a very long time at all.
The forecast, from the independent Office for National Statistics, is striking to say the least. And I suspect many people out there in the country, many of the people who are perhaps reading this Substack, will find it deeply worrying.
By the year 2036, by the time my daughter turns fifteen, Britain’s population will have grown by another 6.6 million people. In just fifteen years, in just three election cycles, the population will surge by 10 per cent, rising from 67 million people to nearly 74 million. And of the additional 6.6 million people in the country —another 6.6 million people using the NHS, the GPs, the schools, the roads, and looking for a house to buy or rent— some 6.1 million will be here because of immigration.“

Does that idiot even believe what he is saying? Ukraine (Kiev regime) cannot “win”. It cannot regain the oblasti of Donetsk, Lugansk (and/or Crimea etc). It cannot attack, in any serious way, Russia itself.
It could only achieve those objectives by drawing NATO directly into the war (leading, probably, to a world war), or by somehow contriving a palace revolution in Moscow. Neither of those possibilities is likely to take place.
I have been wondering why the Western msm obsession with Navalny. Was it because, after the death of Boris Nemtsov, Navalny was the only high-profile opposition figure in Russia? Like Nemtsov, his support was only about 5% of the population, and could never have reached even 20%.
As blogged previously, I think that Navalny was almost certainly a braver man than me (going back from exile in Germany to almost-certain arrest in Russia), and certainly a more reckless one, inter alia.

Roberts is, in my view, a largely ahistorical scribbler, who has posed as a kind of pseudo-aristocratic historian all his life, always having had plenty of money thanks to his father having owned both the well-known Job’s Dairy and also the UK franchise rights for Kentucky Fried Chicken (now KFC).
He is and always was pro-NWO etc. An “Atlanticist”, if you like. Now he seems to be regurgitating lying Israeli government propaganda instead of pro-Churchill ahistory.

The industrial sector is almost flat. The agricultural sector is finding it hard to export. Electrical power supply is unreliable.
Meanwhile, despite various problems, Russia is flourishing.
Strategically, Russia’s overall position cannot be compared to that of Kiev-regime Ukraine, which only stays in existence by reason of aid from the EU and North America.

What’s the answer, Matt. I love your work but we are getting to the stage where we’re just highlighting the problems. We now need solutions. We now need actions.
If Matt Goodwin actually put forward solutions to the migration invasion etc, he would probably end up in court, as did I, in my case the victim of malicious complaint by an “entitled” tribe. Having said that, Goodwin is very pro-Israel, so maybe (like Douglas Murray) he can “offend” (non-Jews, anyway) without facing judicial sanction.

Yes. Everybody who thinks mass immigration is the dumbest policy decision ever, who think we should deport foreign nationals like Abdul Ezedi, is a racist and equivalent to the 1970s National Front. Nobody falls for this stick anymore, David. You've run out of ideas. Move along. https://t.co/UCB49FV9GV
The 1970s NF had its rough edges, but most of what it predicted would happen in the UK has since come to pass. In terms of street violence, incidentally, the NF was far more sinned against than sinning, in my view.
"British people commit crimes too therefore we should be cool with asylum seekers & illegal migrants trying to kill us in the name of Allah & pouring acid over women and girls"
You see the Aaronovitch type of argument all the time from the “politically correct”/”woke” rabble: “British people commit crimes, so any riff-raff off the boat who commit crimes should not be deported.” Or…”some British people are sex offenders, so we must not characterize the “British” Pakistani community as harbouring a large number of rape gangs targeting young (real British) girls, because that harms ‘diversity’.”

Well, in the American phrase, “what goes around comes around”. By 2029, or 2034, Iran, other states around Israel, even Hezbollah, maybe even Hamas, will have far more sophisticated missiles and drones. I wonder what will happen then?
Those Israeli soldiers and their families may, in 5 or 10 years, be themselves “victims”, and will no doubt be able anyway to pose as such.

The Jewish “human rights” lawyers in the UK have been remarkably quiet since Israeli forces started to kill or horribly wound tens of thousands of Gazan women and children; not to mention terrorizing the survivors, who are living in hunger and squalor.
The Israel Broadcasting Corporation reveals: "3,000 soldiers have undergone treatment at the army's psychiatric ward since the start of the Gaza war."
Still, I suppose that someone (of any race or nation) who is involved in the mass slaughter of women and children is quite likely to face psychological disturbance.
“‘Doomsday prepping’ used to be seen as a hobby relegated to the paranoid fringe — but ordinary Americans spent a staggering $11 billion on survival items, just last year, from April 2022 to April 2023.

“According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, three months of hostilities waged by the Israeli army have proven that the tunnels in Gaza are not going anywhere, and the process of their complete destruction and liquidation will not be successful.
Israeli army officials are exchanging ideas that the network of tunnels in the Gaza Strip is much larger and more extensive than they initially expected.
It is noted that despite deep differences, Hamas and Israel are more than ever ready to negotiate on general issues of a possible agreement.”
Interesting (about the tunnel network).

“Tinker” types. Reading all those reports, it seems that most of the incarceration imposed was for offences other than the animal cruelty crimes.
Sentences for cruelty to animals are still ludicrously light in this country.
A sentence of 5 years or so really means release in about 2-3 years. Another defendant in the above case even got off with only a light “community penalty” despite having, inter alia, rammed a police car (read the reports, though not all of the reports agree exactly on the facts).
The penalties for offences of that sort (cruelty to animals) have to be revisited by Parliament, increased markedly, and the courts need to be firm in applying them.
All the same, most people in this country are kind to animals:

Russia is advancing, and Ukraine is on the defensive – Austrian colonel

“Russia is advancing, and Ukraine is on the defensive – Austrian colonel.
Despite the military successes that Kiev constantly reports, Ukraine is now on the defensive, while Russia is actively advancing, Austrian Colonel Markus Reisner said in an interview with ZDF.
In his opinion, Moscow’s military successes are mainly due to the fact that it was able to significantly increase the production of ammunition. Now on the battlefield, the Russian side fires 10 thousand shells every day versus 2 thousand from the Ukrainian side.
Russia is trying to advance along the entire front, depleting Kiev’s already small reserves. “It could lead to a major breakthrough,” Reisner emphasized.
The colonel also expressed concerns about the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine. He recalled that Russia is a nuclear power: “And it is unknown what could happen if it is driven into a corner.” Only “historians in retrospect” will be able to assess whether sending new types of weapons to Kiev would be correct or not.“

Watch David Lammy run away like a coward when he is presented with facts about a genocide that he and the Labour Party endorsed. #FreePalestinepic.twitter.com/zsIOBdrMuO
Lammy is really ridiculous! Imagine running away from a (loud but harmless) young woman like that, instead of either standing still until the guards removed her or, more impressively, engaging with her and showing yourself to be a leader…
Pathetic, nicht wahr? Lammy poses as a legal expert because (and how many similar examples have I seen in or from the “black community”?) he took his degree in the UK and then took a “Master’s degree” (a one-year course that hardly anyone fails) at Harvard (after having become a barrister in England). He did about two years as a gopher in American law firms before returning to the UK. He was then elected to the London Assembly and, later (2000), at age 27, to the House of Commons, as MP for Tottenham, a seat where only blacks need apply (in reality)— “bandit country”.
Lammy has now been an MP for nearly 24 years, and has made the most of it (financially) for himself, while accomplishing precisely nothing for the UK or his own constituents.
Now Lammy is set fair to be appointed Secretary of State for Justice in a Starmer-led fake “Labour” Government after GE 2024. He is also a Privy Councillor.
Lammy knows that he has to kow-tow to Starmer and the Israel/Jewish lobby in order to keep his career going.
So there we have it— Britain 2024 in a nutshell: the triumph of ignorance, stupidity, and tick-box careerism.
Incidentally, looking at that Labour Party audience, most of the people there are almost all as old as those attending Conservative Party events. Mostly in their sixties and seventies. Both major System parties are dying. Most people want a real alternative, not this rigged pseudo-democratic false choice.

This week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 3/10; I scored 5/10, if you include my answer to question 5, which was a pure guess; apart from that, I knew the answers to questions 2, 3, 6, and 10.
“More and more Americans believe it’s okay to be racist against WHITE people – and segregation is getting worse“
On the night of her election as Boston’s first Asian mayor, Michelle Wu proclaimed defiantly: ‘We are ready to become a Boston for everyone. We’re ready to become a Boston that doesn’t push people out, but welcomes all who call our city home.’
It was a rallying cry for unity and inclusion from a young, idealistic politician who was determined the capital city of New England should shed its conservative image and embrace its increasing ethnic diversity.
But two years later, Wu is in the extraordinary position of herself being accused of racism after hosting a Christmas party on Wednesday night exclusively for ‘non-white’ members of the city council.
Her decision has stoked a nationwide row over ‘reverse racism’ and exposed once again a deeply polarised American electorate that once put Donald Trump in the White House because they shared his contempt for wokeness, and may well do so again.
…it dawned on the seven white councillors that not only had they been disinvited to the bash, but they were never supposed to be there in the first place due to the colour of their skin.
…for others the hypocrisy sweeping the U.S. is no laughing matter. A country where racial discrimination is technically illegal is seeing an increasing number of schools, universities and large businesses creating ‘safe spaces’ where ethnic minorities can ‘escape white oppression’.
There have even been calls for black people to get racially-segregated ‘safe spaces’ outdoors so they can enjoy activities such as hiking and camping without suffering ‘harassment’ and ‘trauma’ from white people, while also subverting stereotypes that African-Americans don’t enjoy such pursuits.
In the words of one Boston ‘anti-racist’ academic, Ibram X Kendi, (whose work on deeply divisive ‘critical race theory’ is studied religiously in schools and colleges): ‘The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.’
In short, it’s entirely fair or ‘equitable’ that the boot is now on the other foot. It’s OK to be racist against white people.
In 2021, a school district in Wellesley, Massachusetts, reportedly excluded white students from a ‘healing space’ after shootings in which eight students — six of them Asian-Americans — were killed. The email announcing the event read: ‘*Note: This is a safe space for our Asian/Asian-American and Students of Color, *not* for students who identify only as White.’
In the same year, black mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot — under huge pressure over her city’s appalling black-on-black murder rate — announced she wouldn’t allow white journalists to interview her on the two-year anniversary of her inauguration.
South Korea-born technology writer Sarah Jeong was hired by the Left-wing New York Times as a member of its prestigious ‘editorial board’ of senior writers.
But then critics found some of her old tweets on white people and they weren’t a pretty sight. ‘Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like grovelling goblins,’ she wrote.
In another, she confided: ‘It’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.’
Others included ‘#cancelwhitepeople’, ‘f*** white women lol’ and ‘White people have stopped breeding. You’ll all go extinct soon. This was my plan all along.’
Opponents snorted with derision. Try substituting ‘whites’ in her tweets for ‘Jews’ or ‘blacks’, they said, and imagine what the famously self-important newspaper’s response would have been.
Whatever sanitised image of integration Hollywood puts out to the world, this is a country divided: across state lines, income disparities and, without doubt, by a racially-charged culture war. More and more Americans believe it’s okay to be racist against WHITE people – and segregation is getting worse.”
