Well said.

I assessed that careerist little blot, Darren Jones, on a previous blog post. As the Germans say, “put a beggar on a horse and he rides it to death“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Jones.

Are there any honest MPs or MP-spouses? Maybe, maybe not.

Brave girl.

Kim Leadbeater is a dim lesbian ex-PE teacher who is only an MP because she got sympathy votes after her sister, Jo Cox, was assassinated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Leadbeater.

She will lose her seat at the next election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spen_Valley_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Translates to a Commons with 348 Reform UK MPs (a solid majority), Labour 127, 53 LibDems, 42 SNP, 38 Cons, 6 Greens, 5 Plaid [etc].

So Labour seeming to recover slightly compared to other recent opinion polls (surprisingly), Greens therefore slipping quite a lot, and Cons still standing (just) with about a third of the MPs they have at present.

May be accurate, may not be. Even 1 point more for Reform, and 1 point less for both Lab and Con, would give Reform another 30 MPs, and slash the Con and Lab numbers accordingly.

Well, a rather different polling result. Greens on 18%?! Can that be right? Who knows, these days?

This one translates to a Commons with about 400 Reform UK MPs, a tremendous result for Farage (if it happens); Greens 58 (making the Green Party the official Opposition); LibDems 48; SNP 44; Cons 39; Labour 25…[etc].

I may be wrong, but that poll seems to me, if anything, more plausible than the earlier one featured today, despite this second poll being quite “off the wall”.

Quite right. Idiots such as Nadine Dorries should be cold-shouldered by Reform UK.

Once the System parties are crushed, Reform can fail and fall, leaving the way open for social nationalism.

[“This is not a trope. This is important information on how the the speech I gave in Leeds this August ended up being unlawfully used as a reason for my arrest today. The Leeds jewish representative council, CAA, CST, JLC and other pro-‘israel’ lobby groups and individuals worked together to make it happen. This is how: They had initially hauled in the: deputy mayor, councillor, MP and Chief constable to have the rally banned or to have us arrested. When this failed, they released a statement demanding a meeting with all the above (attached below). The Jewish Chronicle reported on this coordination and showed how the police did not have an issue with my speech or believe there was any reason to arrest me (initially and for 4 months after): • ‘West Yorkshire Police have said that no offences were committed at the ‘Northerners demo for Palestine’, which took place on Saturday. • The Community Security Trust and Jewish Council: Jewish security group CST told the JC, however, that in its view Aladwan gave an “antisemitic and extreme speech” at the rally. • Pro-‘israel’ jewish Simon Myerson KC, the chair of Leeds Jewish Rep Council: ‘Criticised the police for rejecting a full investigation and “dismissing the possibility of offences.’ ‘Myerson criticised the police response to the speeches. He said: “I was surprised to read the police statement. I have seen and studied the videos. In describing Zionism as ‘Jewish supremacy’, saying Western governments are occupied by Zionism (therefore by Jewish supremacy) and calling for armed resistance, it seems to me that the offences of putting people in fear of violence, harassment and encouragement of terrorism are all worthy of serious consideration. (Critical fabrication: *There was no call for armed resistance*) Myerson: “That would demand a full police investigation. By dismissing the possibility of offences on the say so of an unnamed ‘senior investigating officer’ that investigation is bought to a juddering halt. “I am also mindful of the fact that the police, having refused to act to prevent these speakers making these racist remarks, are now marking their own homework. Any arrest would be bound to raise the question of why this was allowed to happen when the police were warned about it. The obvious conflict is so apparent that I am surprised that West Yorkshire did not ask a different force to take over this investigation. “I am meeting the police on Tuesday morning and I will see if I can get any response to any of these questions then.”’ • Campaign Against ‘Antisemitism’: A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “Dr Rahmeh Aladwan’s reported rants about Zionism being a form of ‘Jewish supremacy’ and a quarter of MPs being funded by the ‘Israel lobby’ bring the medical profession into disrepute. • The Jewish Leadership Council: Leo Brosh, the JLC’s Yorkshire Regional Manager, said: “On Saturday, two NHS doctors spoke at a demonstration in Leeds City Centre. In the speeches, Jewish schools were singled out and conspiracy theories about our community were amplified. Dr Rahmeh Aladwan also called for the destruction of the state of Israel through armed resistance. These remarks must be taken seriously by West Yorkshire Police and the GMC should finally step up and protect Jewish patients.” – Have a read of the attached post below for more information on the coordination. It took 4 months, but they finally got the arrest they demanded. Free Palestine. Free Britain.“]

[“This morning at 7AM, 10 police officers stormed my house to search the property and arrest me for a speech and X posts – again. This is the second arrest in less than 2 months. The order was from the London Met Police – they travelled to a different city to arrest me – again. I was questioned on X posts mentioning: – jewish supremacy & jewish supremacists – ‘israel’ – ‘israelis’ and ‘israeli’ jews – and their feelings. – Melanie Phillips, the Chief Rabbi: Eprahim Mirvis, Wes Streeting, the General Medical Council (GMC), Emily Schrader – and their feelings regarding my posts responding to them. – Armed resistance (Palestinian) and Oct 7. – The Thawabet (principles of Palestinian liberation) – The Palestinian Naional Charter (1968) – The repatriation of jewish settlers from Palestine One of the posts was my response to Emily Schrader saying ‘FAFO’ with a picture of the martyred Palestinian journalist Saleh Al-Jafarawi. I began crying when I saw his picture and the interview had to be stopped for 10 minutes. I was held for over 7 hours and released on bail conditions (pre-charge): – Not to publish, post, or communicate material or statements that incite hatred, discrimination, or harassment against any individual or group based on race, religion or ethnicity. I told the officer that I do not agree that I have done any of the above and therefore do not know what I am signing for. I was told: ‘ Posts on jewish supremacism’. I do not believe any of the above has much to do with Britain but the majority of the interview was centred on ‘israel’ and ‘israelis’ including their feelings, their entity, and their future. Just to reiterate: I am a British citizen. I am an NHS doctor with 0 patient complaints or clinical errors who has just been suspended for 15 months after a 2 year campaign by the pro-‘israel’ lobby. I am part-Palestinian. I have just witnessed the mass murder of my people by the ‘jewish state’/’israel’ and the IOF – using my tax pounds. I have never incited violence or harm. I have criticised a foreign entity, individuals who identify with and/or support this foreign entity and the genocide it is committing, and the system of oppression underpinning the 100+ years of dispossession, murder, violence, war crimes and crimes against humanity that the Palestinians are enduring. Our freedom of speech and expression, our freedom of assembly and our civil liberties in Britain are under attack. Free Palestine. Free Britain.”]

Yet more Israeli war crimes.

…and just who, which group, is behind most of that, Katie Hopkins? Yes, the “you-know-who” (((group))), which controls Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment.

Ecce the “free” “democratic” Kiev-regime “Ukrainian” (Jew-Zionist) failed state, which bans trade unions, bans dissident political voices, shoots dissidents too, is totally shambolic and corrupt, and which abducts men off the street to be brutally forced onto the crumbling front lines of a lost war.

Worth looking at.

There is one factor which dominates in the UK, which is the fact that “nothing works properly any more“. I started noting it on the blog years ago, and noticed (after a couple of years) some msm outlets saying the same.

Part of the decline in services and standards is, of course, caused by the migration invasion, meaning both the strain put on all services and facilities by the extra numbers and the nature (i.e. poor quality) of those entering the UK.

Then there is the decline in real education (not meaningless “degree” diplomas handed out like confetti).

The repression on free speech is another major factor.

The box-ticking culture in administration as well, combined with the “Common Purpose” and allied cancers.

When Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP took power, they were initially voted for, in 1932, by 33% of the people, which grew to 44% in 1933, yet the NSDAP vote had been only 2.6% in 1928. Quite an upsurge in only 4-5 years.

The reasons given for the upsurge in support for the NSDAP have been examined by many. The Great Depression in the USA, which spread around the world, was of course key.

The Jewish influence too, but that, after all, had existed for a long time in Germany, and had been especially prevalent after the defeat of 1918. The NSDAP had spoken against it for over a decade without, at first, having gained much traction.

There were other factors as well, but I think that what clinched Hitler’s triumph was the perception that things generally, in all areas, were not working properly.

The same was obviously true in the Russian Empire in 1917, after at least two lost wars, and with the ruling cliques of the Empire mired in corruption and scandal. Russia as a state was not working for the people in any way whatsoever.

Reverting to the UK in 2024, not so dramatic, true, but there has been a slow-motion train crash going on for the past ~25 years. It becomes hard to ignore the fact that the UK, in many ways, is now ceasing to work properly.

Government must, above all else, function.

Deadhead MPs and ministers, repression on free speech, official policies seemingly designed not to work (mass immigration, migration invasion, energy, foreign policy, NHS, social security etc), and the fact that ordinary everyday life becomes a tangled mess by reason of the pointless hoops that have to be jumped through: you name it— NHS appointments, and medical care in general; parking a car; getting through to anyone who can help with any given problem, whether at commercial enterprises, in local government, central government, or wherever.

The UK’s voters are tiring of the existing mess, and may be inclined to clutch at the Reform UK straw, in the short-to-medium term, but later, after 2029, may support a truly radical social-national alternative, which may exist by then.

If not, then “le deluge“… It will then be a matter of taking to the lifeboats.

There emerges an uneasy feeling that our present world system is not going to be around for much longer, the way things are internationally.

“Daria Platonova Dugina — A Theory of Europe: A View of the New Right.

In a world increasingly levelled by homogenisation, Daria Platonova Dugina retrieves the vibrancy of European culture by delving into the intellectual renaissance of the French New Right.

Exploring the pioneering work of figures like Alain de Benoist and Guillaume Faye, Dugina traces their groundbreaking and provocative reimagining of identity, tradition, and belonging, where the spirit of ideas transcends the conventional boundaries of Left and Right.

Through a “Gramscianism from the Right” approach, she analyses how the New Right’s critique of universalist ideologies and its visions of civilisational revival present a cultural counter-hegemony that values rootedness and organic community over the globalist paradigm.

In this unique collection of lectures, essays, and interviews, Dugina highlights the complex intersections of New Right thought with currents like National Bolshevism and Eurasianism, investigating the philosophical and geopolitical frontlines of the fracturing world order.

Dugina takes readers on a far-reaching journey beyond the standard ideological spectrum, inviting a deeper understanding of identity politics in the contemporary age.

Here, philosophy meets praxis, inspiring those searching for alternatives in today’s monotone world to revisit the foundations and peaks of Europe’s intellectual heritage.

Order it now: https://amazon.com/dp/1915755948 https://arktos.com/product/a-theory-of-europe/…

Daria ‘Platonova’ Dugina (1992–2022) was a Russian philosopher, political analyst, journalist, and artist. Dugina studied philosophy at Moscow State University and Bordeaux Montaigne University, specialising in Plato and Neoplatonism. The daughter of Alexander Dugin, she was an active member of the International Eurasian Movement and collaborated with the French New Right. Her life was tragically cut short by a car bomb on the night of 20 August 2022.“

Not that I think highly of everything Dugin himself says or writes. His views are sometimes risibly simplistic, even puerile. Certainly not always, but sometimes, especially when it comes down to concrete realities and facts.

I rarely if ever repost anything by the above tweeter (the ex-wife of a former Conservative-Party MP), but (with the exception of “stable inheritance“) this has to be right. “Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” is a joke, a bad joke, a very unpleasant Labour Friends of Israel joke.

“That AIPAC purchased the seats of about 90% or more of our current congress.

JFK famously wanted them registered as a foreign agent right before he was shot and thus they changed their name and never registered.

Why are we letting a foreign lobby buy off our congress?

That Israel was obviously the state sponsor of Jefrey Epstein, whose handler was Ehud Barak, ex head of Israeli military intelligence, his funding was Les Wexner one of the worlds richest Zionist ‘philanthropists’ and he was accused by ex Mossad assets of being Mossad.

Not to mention the Maxwell connection. (They had blackmail on Clinton, and many, many more.) He who holds the blackmail holds the leash- just ask J. Edgar Hoover.

That Israel is the only nation who has a defacto sanctioned, yet actually secret and unsanctioned nuclear program. A program that they stole from the United States- look into the Apollo affair, NUMEC, the Dimona nuclear facility.

That jews, muslims, and christians lived side by side in peace in Palestine before the Rothschilds purchased the country from Britain during WW1 (see the Balfour declaration) and began their colonial program.

That the groups that founded Israel, Lehi, Irgun, and Hagannah, were declared terrorist organizations by Israel itself because their tactics were so deplorable (bombing British and Palestinian civilians) yet these three ‘paramilitary’ groups rebranded to form the IDF and their leadership became the leadership of Israel for the following thirty plus years.

That Israel is a foreign nation halfway across the world that has no business receiving my tax dollars. Why are we sending them billions of dollars of our tax money while our country burns, is overrun by illegal immigration, etc?

We are told Israel is our ‘greatest ally’ so why would they have had a massive spy network targeting US government agencies leading up to sep 11, 2001 – see the Israeli art students DEA report for copious evidence of Israeli surveillance all across the continental US.

This is an official government report that cites hundreds of incidents of observed Israeli surveillance teams documented by US government agents all across the continental US. And we still have received 0 answers why there were numerous fake Israeli moving companies positioned all across the eastern seaboard leading into September 11, 2001 and we have multiple eye witness reports, as well as hard photographic evidence that they knew the attacks were coming at least a day before they did and that they were positioned at a vantage point to photograph the attack up to a half hour before the first plane hit. Never got any answers- but you can read the official FBI reports about the incident. I’ve broken them down live on X before.

That’s just a small list of some of the best documented reasons why I, as an American, dont want Israel receiving any of my tax dollars. And I didn’t even mention my obvious objections to the collective punishment, mass surveillance, forced starvation, bombing of refugee camps, brutal murdering of women and children that’s been going on in Gaza and the West Bank for years, decades- which you can watch in graphic detail right here on X.

And that’s not to mention that somehow we let congress pass laws outlawing ‘antisemitic’ speech, despite our own first amendment. And we have anti-boycott legislation in multiple states, despite the fact that it’s perfectly legal to boycott American companies… just not Israeli ones.

Every content creator knows the fastest way to get demonetized, banned, and slandered is to be critical of Israel. I figured you would have realized this too after what they did to you and tried to do to X last year.”

Disappearing England

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14262595/newbuild-homes-greenbelt-council-Lord-Rings-St-Albans.html

“Fuming locals have raged at a council planning to build thousands of homes on green belt surrounding one of England’s oldest market towns.

St Albans Council sent its proposal to use land including 800 hectares of green belt to build 15,000 homes by 2041 to Labour’s Planning Inspectorate at the end of 2024.

Homeowners in the area slammed the ‘diabolical’ plan by developers who ‘don’t give a s***’ to destroy the countryside and said the extra homes would put local services under unbearable strain.”

[Daily Mail]

Very sad. Mainly caused by mass immigration. That, and profiteering by both farmers (selling land— look at the report; ONE FIELD sold for £38M!) and housebuilding companies.

As for housebuilders building tracts of housing and then refusing to adhere to agreements guaranteeing services (roads, parks, shops etc), if they do that, their precious “developments” should be blown up by the State, then rewilded; the companies should also be fined, very heavily. The directors should then be put to hard labour.

I used to spend occasional weekends at Sopwell House, which is walking distance from St. Albans. That was back in the early/mid 1990s, 30 years ago (incredible, to me).

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopwell_House]

Britain is slowly (?) becoming a multikulti slum where nothing works, and from where every English/white person wants to escape, either to the relatively few areas of the country unaffected by the spreading floods of ghastly ugly new housing —and immigration—, or overseas. Somewhere. Anywhere.

There are even TV shows called Escape to...

“Whoever supplies weapons wants war,” AfD leader in Thuringia against arming Kyiv.

Three-quarters of the residents of East German Thuringia oppose arms supplies to Ukraine; the right-wing Alternative for Germany may win the land elections in this land for the first time. The head of the regional branch of the AfD, Bjorn Höcke, demanded that Germany stop supplying weapons to Kyiv and organize negotiations.

“My grandparents told me what war is, so I say that this war must be ended as quickly as possible and at any cost,” Höcke said on Die Welt. He accused his opponent’s party, the CDU, of inciting the conflict. “The war rhetoric of the CDU will not lead to real progress,” “we need Germany as a peacekeeping power.”

He pointed out that Russia did not shy away from negotiations, results were achieved in Istanbul in 2022, but the West and Germany did not want them, and chose military supplies rather than diplomacy. “Whoever supplies the weapons does not want peace, he wants war,” Höcke concluded.”

“As many as 82 percent of Germans do not believe that Ukraine can defeat Russia with the support of the West.

IN AUGUST 2023, 70 PERCENT DOUBTED THE POSITIVE OUTCOME OF THE CONFLICT FOR KYIV.

ONLY eight percent of Germans believe that Ukraine can win a confrontation with Russia thanks to Western weapons. This was shown by a survey commissioned by the German television station ZDF. Also: that 82 percent of respondents are skeptical about the possibility of Ukraine winning the conflict with the Russian Federation. ZDF indicated that in August of last year, the share of skeptics in Germany was 70 percent, and those who believed in a positive outcome for Kyiv were 21 percent.

The same survey showed that 42% of Germans surveyed believe that the West should provide more [humanitarian] aid to Ukraine.“

Good grief. Reminiscent of the 1960s spy-spoof TV series, Get Smart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Smart.

“Kiev and the West are tired of war and of each other.

What a small group of objective, but long-maligned observers in the West warned about for a long time, is now happening: Ukraine and the West are losing the war against Russia.

The strategy of using Ukraine to either isolate and slowly suffocate Russia or to defeat and degrade it in a proxy war is approaching its predictable disastrous end.”

As I have been saying on the blog (for the past 18 months) would happen.

That Milei character is quite obviously mentally disordered, and “they” are taking advantage of his mental state.

Good news for Russia (and Iran), inter alia; bad news for the major economies of the West, and perhaps for China.

Liz Truss and Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng) as Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom. What does that say about where this poor country now is? (the replacement of Liz Truss by Sunak, the little Indian money-juggler, makes only a cosmetic difference). I know what I think.

“A Home Office Islamic Network aims to recruit Muslim staff and “influence policymakers” to support “Muslim needs”, a GB News investigation reveals. Leaked documents show the group of over 700 civil servants say they aim to “promote the recruitment, retention and progression of Muslim staff in the Home Office” and “influence policymakers so that policy is more inclusive of Muslim needs”. THE WHOLE CIVIL SERVICE ARE THE ENEMY WITHIN.”

To adapt and substitute the supposed words of Boris Savinkov re. non-Russians in the “Russian” Revolution, “Muslims, Jews…where are the English?!“

Look at most of the “alt-right” msm and/or social media “controlled opposition” types, the so-called “populists”, including those who make money, or try to make money, out of being pseudo-national and/or anti-Islam or anti-Islamist: the academic, Matt Goodwin, is a rising star of that tendency; others include the notorious Douglas Murray, Katie Hopkins, “Tommy Robinson”, Paul Golding and most of the “Britain First” crowd, and Anne Marie Waters of the now-defunct “For Britain” group. Then you have Farage, Tice, and their UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform UK parties.

They vary. Some are national figures with considerable public support, and are welcomed on msm platforms (e.g. Farage, and Matt Goodwin); others are marginal (e.g. Paul Golding of “Britain First”, Laurence Fox and his tiny Reclaim Party, and others). All, however, speak in favour of Israel, in favour of the UK Jewish lobby, and against any enemies (especially Islamist enemies) of Israel.

Most are also vehemently hostile to what they are pleased to call the “far right” (anyone social-national).

Look at the similar types overseas, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geert_Wilders#Views_on_Israel_and_Palestine.

As for me, I stand for the British people, for European humanity, and for European culture and civilization. I oppose any enemies of European culture and civilization.

One can see, though, which tendency or interest-group is constantly trying to get European Christendom to fight the Islamic world (and not just Islamism).

I have just seen this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Phillips_(TV_presenter).

“Alexandra Lesley Phillips (born 26 December 1983) is a British journalist and former politician. She served as a Brexit Party member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the South East England constituency from 2019 to 2020. She was the second candidate on the party’s list for the constituency after party leader Nigel Farage.[1] Phillips was previously head of media at the UK Independence Party (UKIP), which she left in September 2016. She was a GB News presenter between June 2021 and September 2022. In February 2023, Phillips joined Reform UK.

Alexandra Lesley Phillips was born on 26 December 1983 in Gloucester.[2] She has an older brother. She is Jewish.

On 2 August 2019, Phillips was selected as the Brexit Party’s prospective parliamentary candidate (PPC) for Southampton Itchen.[15] However, on 11 November 2019, the Brexit Party announced that it would not stand in incumbent Conservative seats.[16] The following day, Phillips announced that she would not be voting in the general election as she had been “disenfranchised” by her party.[17] Her term as MEP ended in January 2020 when the UK withdrew from the EU.[18] In February 2023, she joined Reform UK (successor to the Brexit Party) as a policy adviser to party leader Richard Tice.[19]

Prior to joining UKIP, Phillips had worked as a local journalist for ITV, and later BBC Wales.[5]

Phillips presented a twice-weekly show on talkRADIO and is a contributor to The Daily Telegraph.[20] She co-hosted an afternoon programme on GB News with Simon McCoy between June and August 2021.[21][22] After McCoy moved to the breakfast show, she was given her own show, The Afternoon Agenda, in August 2021.[23] She left GB News in September 2022 after her show was cancelled.[24] In July 2023 Alex began presenting a Saturday afternoon programme on TalkTV. She now co hosts a show with Kevin O’Sullivan on talk tv daily.”

[Wikipedia]

Look at that one profile: UKIP, Brexit Party, Reform UK, ITV, BBC Wales, TalkRadio, GB News, Talk TV, and the Daily Telegraph.

Counting the rounds, I made that a total of 11, not 8.

Thus proving, once again, that at least a substantial minority of UK voters, and about half of Conservative Party voters, are absolutely brainless.

The only reason a slight majority think that life is better now than in the 1960s and 1970s is because a constant drip-feed of propaganda tells them so. Most of the respondents would have been born after 1980 or 1975, of course.

The 1970s in the UK were a lot better than most people today will believe, despite some (actually quite limited) industrial unrest etc.

As for the 1960s, I remember them well, having been born in 1956. Fairly OK in most respects (I should add that I spent the last three years of that decade in Australia (Mosman/Cremorne, in Sydney), and that was another world then, though the devil is always in the detail: those were —and are— among the better suburbs of the city.

By my use of Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that comes out as leaving the Conservative Party with about 35 MPs (Lab 527, LibDem 48).

Looking at the above tracker graph, the Labour intended vote has been fairly stable (within parameters) for about a year or so, whereas the Conservative Party intended vote has steadily declined for what seems to have been most of the past year. They’re toast…

Were the Con percentage to decline even one point, to 18%, even without an increase in any of the other numbers, the number of Con MPs would reduce to only 28.

When you see that, and factor in the political intentions of those under 40, and under 30, and the fact that the Con core vote consists largely of the retired, indeed of those over 70, over 80, you can see that this really could spell the end of the Conservative Party.

In fact, even were the Conservative Party to retain 100, even 150, MPs, it would be all but irrelevant in a Commons with 450+ Labour MPs, and a Labour majority of maybe 300 or more. That would hit Con Party funding and ability to come back from the debacle.

I was just musing on such ideas as I carefully drove a few miles this morning on a rural A-road, its surfacing poor and dotted with troughs and potholes which one had to navigate around, as in some areas of Russia and Ukraine (or, in pre-EU-membership days, in Bulgaria, as I recall from 2001). The decline of Britain is seen even in mundane areas such as road maintenance.

How strange. The little Indian money-juggler did not see fit to “condemn” the slaughter, by the Israeli forces, of tens of thousands of women an d children in Gaza, nor the unprovoked attack by Israel on the diplomatic and consular offices of Iran in Syria, an attack on two sovereign states.

Like 90% of “British” politicians, if you want to call him that, Sunak is bought and paid for…
