As I predicted years ago, long before fake Labour even formed a Starmer-led government. It was on the blog in 2023, maybe in 2022 or earlier.

Coudenhove-Kalergi conspiracy.

Stop all immigration. Detain and deport where possible. In other cases, take other measures. The aim? To make Britain an ethnostate.

[“Nobody voted for the Boriswave.
Nobody voted for asylum hotels.
Nobody voted for Afghans.
Nobody voted for Palestinians.
Nobody voted for small boats.
Nobody voted for 210,000 illegals.
Nobody voted for endless chaos.
And very few voted for Burnham.

Do you see what they are doing?

They are imposing policies that nobody voted for.

They are undermining our democracy.

They are tearing apart the social contract.

And they are treating the British people with contempt.

This is an extreme political project with no real democratic mandate.“]

At this point, there is effectively no real “democracy” in the UK.

At this point, there is no real “social contract” either.

Voting for this or that party is a useless or near-useless game. Ask the voters of Piddington…

[“My little boy & I buy a local homeless man breakfast regularly. Today, we were a little late… We saw him getting escorted out of a shop by police. They confiscated the food he had stolen and was eating, sent him on his way & told him not to come back. I know police aren’t social workers, but nonetheless, I found it heartbreaking they just moved him up the road, away from the shop & left him. They didn’t even let him finish the food he was eating. (No, I don’t condone stealing (obviously!) but when it’s a hungry, homeless man & the product is half eaten, wouldn’t you at least let him finish it?!

We had a chat with him, got him breakfast, hot drinks etc and contacted @Tell_StreetLink It breaks my heart that local people live this way in Britain 2026

It also separately blows my mind that if only he’d come over on a boat…he’d be in a hotel right now, likely being offered a choice of breakfast…“]

It might be added that the brainless Kemi Badenoch “plan” (soundbite) to give the unemployed etc store cards or restricted debit cards instead of money will turbocharge shoplifting and every other sort of minor —and maybe not so minor— crime. At least it would, were it ever to be put into effect, but Kemi Carpetbagger has no more chance of becoming Prime Minister than have I at this point (and I am both far more qualified and capable than the Nigerian woman and actually real British).

I really am sick of the mainstream media being so cosy both with System politicians and the UK’s often pathetic “anti-terror” police/security set-up.

The “security and intelligence” bods (and the msm’s supposed “experts” on the subject, such as Gordon Corera and quite a few others) are now treated with the respect and veneration formerly reserved for the Royal Family and senior clergy (until they too turned out to be useless).

As soon as something is labelled “terror-related”, even if it amounts to nothing more than a few people putting up stickers, or painting a Swastika somewhere, a fearful hush descends. Absolutely ridiculous.

Even had those arrested been real terrorists (which they obviously are not, now having been released “under investigation”), there would have been no need for an entire village to have been evacuated, surely (or only for an hour or so, until it was clear that none of the arrested was carrying a bomb-detonating device).

So another underwhelming contemporary British event…

Pathetic. It puts me in mind of the Decembrist who, on being hanged, and whereupon it emerged that he was too tall to be killed, had soldiers pulling at his legs as he groaned “What a country— they can’t even hang a man properly!“…

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

Britain too has now become a joke country in most respects.

The big cheese of the “Counter-Terror Command” having to put a brave face on it and imply that those released still could be terrorists….

What nonsense…

Meanwhile, coming across the Channel every single day, the hundreds and thousands of “diverse” black/brown migrant-invaders are hungry for their hotel breakfasts (and any teenage girls walking nearby). Police response? Zero.

[“Evening, all“]

I suppose that it may have been some kind of reconnaissance or scouting mission, but if so was a remarkably inept one (5 young men in a white van or two white vans— very likely to be noticed at once in a rural area).

When will the British masses awake to the fact that this is a conspiracy? Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

If she got the number right. If she counted the men right.

Anyway, if the 5 men arrested are not terrorists, why would it matter that there may have been 8-10? The others presumably ran off and are still running.

I agree with her, though, about the police not having bothered to contact her.

Late tweets

[“Andy Burnham will signal the end of the pensions triple lock in his conference speech on Tuesday, The Telegraph understands.

The Prime Minister will tell Labour delegates that the triple lock does not work in its current form and suggest it should be reviewed in the party’s next manifesto.“]

In that case, you can kiss goodbye to virtually the whole “grey vote”. True, only a minority of the over-50s (and a much smaller minority of over-65s) vote Labour anyway, but this will have a measurable electoral effect— no question.

If Burnham thinks that the promise of a pie-in-the-sky social care programme (which may never come into being anyway) will mitigate the anger of pensioners not being able to keep up with the real level of inflation, by reason of his proposed scrapping of the Triple Lock, he is very mistaken.

Burnham may have just lost (even more badly) the next general election.

The “traveller” disease

https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/26581543.two-donkeys-drugs-counterfeit-cash-seized-selby-area

“Two donkeys, Class A drugs and counterfeit cash have been seized as part of a major police operation in North Yorkshire.

Police carried out an animal welfare warrant alongside the RSPCA, North Yorkshire Council and Trading Standards, where two donkeys were seized over concerns about unnecessary suffering.

The donkeys were found among other animals, and the site was also issued a number of animal welfare notices.

North Yorkshire Police said: “Officers and partners also identified suspected illegal puppy breeding, which is now subject to further investigation and enforcement activity.”

In Selby, officers executed a drugs warrant where a quantity of Class A drugs and counterfeit cash were found.

One person was arrested as part of this investigation, police confirmed.

Meanwhile, officers working with the DVSA filed 14 Traffic Offence Reports in Escrick – one of which involved a vehicle being seized for being driven with no tax and another seized for no insurance.”

[York Press]

The words “traveller”, or “Irish tinker” are nowhere to be seen in that news report. Self-censorship.

The huge nuisance of the so-called “travellers” has to be addressed as a matter of urgency once Britain has a real government, one that cares about the British people, the environment, animals, and birds.

One —yes, admittedly, very unpleasant— day, and the whole problem would be solved forever.

Well, that probably means that Switzerland will join much of the rest of mainland Europe in being devastated, somewhere not far down the line.

Russia now has about 2 years in which to conquer and hold (at least) the whole of Eastern Ukraine. Attrition alone cannot do it in the time available.

Images not clear enough to make a definite judgment.

The bigger issue, of course, is whether the UK should be hosting or facilitating American air operations at all. I say not.

The “Socialist Worker” mob, the ever-present and inevitable “Socialist Worker” mob. I can recall them (at least, their nominal forbears in political stupidity) as long ago as 1975, when I was 18. I am now 70.

Complete idiots. The political equivalent of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Noisy irrelevances.

I believe that the Socialist Worker Party was started and led at first by a Jew called Ygael Gluckstein, who used the Anglicized nom de guerre “Tony Cliff”. According to Wikipedia, it now has a notional membership of 6,000, of which the core membership is about 2,000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK). I believe that the membership was at one time (1970s) rather higher in number.

The “SWP”, as mentioned, has been a fringe or crank party for about 76 years, under a few names (as “SWP” since 1977). You would think that, after 76 years, its adherents would by now understand that they are going nowhere. I suppose that, as implied, the members are not the most intelligent or mentally balanced in the political realm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK)

I see now from Wikipedia that Gluckstein/”Cliff” went up the chimney in 2000, and that others are now in charge of the splintered SWP.

The most recent “leader” of the SWP seems to have been “Comrade Delta”, aka one Martin Smith, who however was removed after he allegedly committed rape and sexual assault against members. The other “leader” noted by Wikipedia is one Alex Callinicos, of partly (Southern African) Greek origin, and who is now 76: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Callinicos. Surprisingly, Callinicos is descended from (is the grandson of) the famous Lord Acton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dalberg-Acton,_1st_Baron_Acton.

In the manner of, as already noted, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, or Salvation Army bands at Christmas-time, the SWP’s presence (being noisy and objectionable) at by-elections seems to be unavoidable.

Incidentally, but interestingly, the Callinicos person is related, via his grandfather Lord Acton, to the Austro-German (though also part-Jew) nationalist Count Arco auf Valley [1897-1945] who assassinated the Jew Kurt Eisner, the revolutionary socialist who became President of the short-lived People’s State of Bavaria (November 1918-February 1919).

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

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

Looking at a longer version of that clip, it seemed to me that the political cretins of the SWP today are in every respect indistinguishable from those of several decades ago. They look the same, have the same or virtually the same placards, shout out the same tired “antifascist”/”antiracist” slogans. Nothing has changed…except the whole world and society around them. They should be in a museum (perhaps with the advances in robotics and AI, they eventually will be).

Ha ha! Deport Tugendhat to his beloved Israel. He has relatives there…

More seriously, the “Conservative” Party must be getting really desperate now. Latest poll had them on 17%, and personally I should not be surprised if they get only 15%, maybe even as low as 10%, should the next general election only be held in 2028 or 2029.

Much more difficult in a relatively small and crowded country such as Britain. Still, on the right road, I think. I have blogged a bit about “prepping” in the British/European context (as distinct from North America, Australasia etc). Use the search box on the blog.

Starmer-stein’s mandate, as Prime Minister, was very doubtful: in 2024, in rough terms, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not actually vote, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Con, 2 voted Reform, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. Labour was voted for by 4 out of 20 eligible voters (4 out of 12 actually-voting voters).

Burnham has merely inherited Starmer-stein’s purple (via the equivalent of a palace revoilution) and, naturally (in political reality, if not in strict British Constitutional terms), has far less of a mandate than Starmer-stein. He has no programme beyond that of trying to please as many likely or potential voters as possible. He is totally out of his depth in every way.

Salutary tale

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16154307/Swedish-Piddington-BANNED-migrants-13-years-1988-Sjobo-shocked-Europe-controversial-referendum-Nearly-40-years-later-wish-ban-voted-never-lifted.html

“It is a familiar political story in a place that became infamous almost 40 years ago, when many of its residents voted to reject the arrival of refugees, in a referendum that sent shockwaves across Sweden and Europe.

In 1987, Sweden adopted a new strategy to distribute refugees more evenly across the country, and asked Sjobo, then a town of around 15,400, to take in around 15 people.

‘Anyone can understand that the next generation of Swedes will no longer be blonde and blue-eyed,’ Sven-Olle Olsson, a municipal councillor who was vehemently opposed, said at the time. He organised a referendum on the issue.

The ‘No’ side won the referendum with almost 68 per cent of votes, triggering a political storm in the country.

There are parallels to be drawn from the case in the recent ‘independence’ referendum held in the British village of Piddington in a symbolic protest against plans to accommodate 1,250 asylum seekers in a nearby military site.

Things have changed ‘enormously’ in Sjobo since 1988, according to Ms Ramel, now a municipal councillor herself who is trying to change Sjobo’s image.

She said the municipality now fulfils its requirements by welcoming new arrivals, even taking in more than some other towns in the region.

The anti-migration Sweden Democrats emerged from the election as Sweden’s third-largest party, after winning 62 seats in the 349-member parliament. 

The party won 43 per cent of votes in Sjobo in the 2022 general election, still enjoying strong support in the southern town known for its contentious September 1988 referendum.

That support remained strong in this month’s election, with the Sweden Democrats taking more than a third of the vote in several of Sjobo’s polling districts.

The party won 38.8 per cent in Sjobo Linne, 33.8 per cent in Sjobo Emanuel and 36.1 per cent in Sjobo Farsinga in the parliamentary election.

‘In the end, Sjobo residents were right, if you want to put it that way,’ 89-year-old Bengt Lundgren, who voted for the Sweden Democrats in the recent election, said with a broad grin.

Sweden struggles to integrate its immigrants.

Around 20 per cent of its population is born abroad, according to 2025 data from Statistics Sweden.

The Oxfordshire village of Piddington held its own unofficial referendum over migration on September 16. 

Some 285 of the 312 residents who voted backed a symbolic declaration of independence from Britain, in protest at plans to house 1,200 asylum seekers at a former military base nearby.

The vote had no legal force, but campaigners hope the gesture will send a message to Westminster over the proposed asylum accommodation at the former Ministry of Defence site at Bicester.“

As far as I am concerned, if the Swedes become no longer really Swedish at all, there is no reason for that country to exist. Same goes, mutatis mutandis, for this country. See also:

As previously blogged, in purely careerist terms, Shabana Mahmood has “played a blinder”: a Pakistani woman whose only legal work background was a 1-year Bar pupillage, followed by a year or two as a “gopher” in a provincial firm of solicitors, gets into the old MP racket and is made “Lord Chancellor” and then Home Secretary! You couldn’t make it up! Now she invites thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, from some of the most backward parts of the world, arguably, to come and live as total parasites off the backs of the British people.

Britain, better said many of the British, seem to have a death wish. Would I be made a Cabinet minister, or even an MP, in Pakistan? I think not (yes, I know that the Mahmood woman was born in Birmingham. Do you really think that makes any significant difference?).

Completely wrong, and politically explosive. The Triple Lock is not “unaffordable“. Stop throwing billions away on “Ukraine” (Zelensky’s dictatorship), on the housing, feeding, and otherwise funding of the now millions of black/brown migrant-invaders; the same goes for other huge wastes of money (Britain just gave £650M to Angola, a country completely unconnected to Britain or its history, so that the corrupt and totally useless Angolans can improve their airport. That is only one of hundreds of examples).

I declare an interest. I myself do benefit, marginally, from the Triple Lock. My State Pension (only about half of the full rate, by reason mainly of my time overseas) does increase by a slightly larger amount by reason of the Triple Lock. We are talking about a few pounds, if that, per week…

Any political party, whatever the reason or excuse, binning the Triple Lock can consider itself binned forever by any voters aged, say, 55+ (pensioners and those who hurtle towards State Pension age).

The idea of a State social care service that works is a good one, albeit one that has been obvious, and the service obviously needed, for many years. It has to be paid for, and there have to be enough employees to operate it. So how will it be paid for, and from where will come the huge number of employees needed?

A corrupt, shambolic, thug-regime.

If the City of London falls away, the UK economy, as it now is, will nosedive.

I do not like to advise young people, say 18-30, to abandon this country, but I should certainly say (as have Nick Griffin and others) that they should at least leave London and the other larger conurbations (which are in any case becoming —or have already become— non-white). I can understand why so many are seeking other locations in the world, especially in the Anglosphere, for medium to long-term residence.

[“Russian missiles and drone aircraft are doubling the cost of the war for Europe.

THE RUSSIAN MILITARY IS INCREASINGLY EFFECTIVELY DESTROYING THE UKRAINIAN ECONOMY AND THE TAX BASE OF THE KYIV REGIME.

We are now truly at a turning point, where the policy of each player is being determined. Continued support for Ukraine will lead to the collapse of the traditional political system in Europe.

Russia should continue to destroy the tax base of the Ukrainian economy, thereby increasing the cost of the war for Europe, so that Europeans can consider whether they can afford to find an additional 30-40 billion at a time when opposition is growing in EU countries.

There is no guaranteed funding for Kyiv for the next year. If it becomes clear that Ukraine cannot last even a year, the question will be raised in the EU: why did we need all of this?“]

Britain could have cost-price oil and gas.

Leave NATO, close down U.S. bases (under RAF or other flag), and stop giving arms, ammunition, money, and other help to the corrupt Kiev regime. In return, cheap gas, cheap oil, and a guaranteed huge market in Russia for British goods and services.

[“Russia has reactivated the “Dead Hand” retaliatory nuclear strike system, according to The Sunday Times.
The publication reports that the secret underground complex, “Facility 1335,” linked to the Soviet “Perimeter” system, has been expanded in the Ural Mountains and is now fully operational again.
Its purpose is to ensure the transmission of retaliatory orders, even after a massive attack on Russia.

Late thoughts

“Wars and rumours of wars“, to quote Revelation. There is certainly a good deal of chatter around. More seriously, i.e. in terms of actual events, the dial is being turned up in various ways: the situation in both the Persian/Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea; the intensification in and around Ukraine/Russia; the North Polar region (noting the new U.S. bases about to be constructed in Greenland); the uncertainty around the AI technology and the robotics technology (both in itself and around its possible economic and social effects); the continuing mass migration invasion of Europe; the increasing political instability in Europe.

When, rather than if.

Limited incursions, yes, invasion— no. They may try to seize Kharg Island.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Tripoli_(LHA-7)

This is a grey area. At what point does “public prayer” etc become religiously-tinged socio-political supremacism, a signal that the “praying” group’s tribe rules the roost?

Not just Muslims, by the way. Look at those busloads of Jew-Zionists engaging in quite deliberate Jewish “religious” (but really socio-political and supremacist) “dancing” in Oxford Street a couple of years ago.

In a different way, the same applies to that hugely ugly “holocaust” “memorial” planned to sit right next to the Palace of Westminster. It says “we are in charge of Parliament; we control it”…

Of course, Jews do not “pray” en masse in public spaces in the UK. For one thing, there are “only” 250,000-500,000 of them, as compared to 5 million Muslims (and that number growing fast via both immigration and births).

Secondly, Islam, like Christianity (historically, though not much today) is a proselytizing religion; it actively seeks converts. Judaism does not seek converts and, though some modern forms deviate, generally does not allow non-Jews to become quasi-“Jewish” on a whim or simply by choice.

Having said that, the Jewish/Israel lobby has attempted to show its power or influence via large or publicized public displays: apart from the “dancing Jews” in Oxford Street a couple of years ago, there was a large and illuminated “Hannukah” symbol in Trafalgar Square not so long ago, and a Jewish religious candlestick-holder shown prominently in a window of 10, Downing Street; also, the Israeli flag projected for several days onto the facade of 10, Downing Street a couple of years ago.

The fact is, that Israel, and its attendant Jewish lobby in the USA, UK etc, has launched this war, and demanded (maybe via the “Epstein files” blackmail of Trump) that the USA join in and add to the Israeli war machine’s power the immense forces available to the USA.

As for the UK, like the rest of Europe (EU and non-EU), we are going to suffer because of what the Israelis and Americans are doing. The UK should not be facilitating the madness in any way whatsoever.

I bet that book “forgets” to mention the influence of the Jewish lobby, though.

After his defeat (though a very honourable 2nd-place) at the Gorton and Denton by-election, Goodwin is not tweeting about Iran etc but is concentrating on his book, and on his Substack blog etc; he makes hundreds of thousands of pounds a year from that, GB TV etc.

Monkeyworld UK. What the American call a “chimp-out”, apparently.

A fraud, but will probably not be prosecuted, the way this country now is.

Every day, the feeling grows (in me, and I think in many) that the UK’s patent decline is changing from “gradual” to “fast”.

Tell me about it…

Our animal friends.

[“CAA has today applied for permission to bring a judicial review in respect of a decision by District Judge Michael Snow to stop CAA’s private prosecution of Reginald Hunter over a number of posts on X directed at Heidi Bachram that CAA alleges were grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.

The grounds for the judicial review are that the District Judge’s decision was irrational, procedurally incorrect, and contained other errors of law. If successful, the private prosecution would resume, and Mr Hunter would return to trial.

CAA’s motto is drawn from the biblical command: “Justice, justice you shall pursue”, and so we shall.

CAA is represented by public law specialists Sam Grodzinski KC and Tom Lowenthal of counsel, instructed by Asserson Solicitors. We will provide further updates in due course.“]

What that tweet, from the serially-abusive and malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” cabal, does not say is that their real purpose is to have quashed not merely the headline decision of the district judge in the Reginald D. Hunter matter, but also his order that a transcript of his judgment in the case (a judgment extremely, scathingly, critical of the dishonesty of the “CAA” and its Jewish lawyers) should be put before the judges in all future cases involving the “CAA”, and in particular all future private prosecutions (Jewish “lawfare”) brought by the “CAA”.

Incidentally, take a look at the names of the lawyers mentioned in that tweet…

I am not a fan of the comedian in question (an American black who lives in the UK, I believe), and had in fact never heard of him until the CAA cabal started to try to have him arrested and prosecuted. They tried another way a couple of years ago.

The incompetent and dishonest Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, briefly high-profile about 15 years ago by reason of the UK “phonehacking” scandal, tried to scam Hunter and/or have him prosecuted in 2024 as he performed at the Edinburgh Fringe. Lewis, aided by his wife/carer Mandy Blumenthal, started shouting during the performance, trying to provoke a reaction. They had both made money (and publicity about supposed “antisemitism”) a few years before, when they cheated Kuwait Airways out of money by a similar provocation (at Heathrow Airport). Easy money: see https://www.timesofisrael.com/kuwait-air-to-compensate-israeli-for-refusing-to-fly-her-report/.

Lewis and his wife (both fanatical Zionists) were aided in the attempted scam at Edinburgh by wholly-dishonest reporting by equally-fanatical Sabrina Miller, a young newspaper scribbler, who wrote about them, assigning them false names and describing them as “an Israeli couple“.

Saturday quiz

Some quite difficult questions again this week. I managed 6/10, thus beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10. I knew the answers to questions 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10.

Talking point

I noticed that the following blog post from nearly 7 years ago, which received a few hits yesterday and today, has stood the test of time quite well:

See also:

[“According to The Wall Street Journal, Iran has begun mining the Hormuz Strait — the world’s main oil corridor. U.S. officials have confirmed that Tehran has placed about ten naval mines in this strategically important waterway.

These are specialized munitions that can operate at shallow depths. Some mines are just 90 centimeters below the water surface, while others are anchored to the seabed at depths of up to 50 meters. The warhead of most of these devices contains between 50 and 120 kilograms of explosives — enough to seriously damage a large tanker or surface ship.

The goal of the mine warfare operation is not mass destruction of ships. The mere threat of mines’ presence can paralyze movement through the strait. History shows that this is one of the most effective and cheapest means of pressure on maritime trade. Since World War II, naval mines have caused more damage to U.S. Navy ships than any other weapon.

The paradox of mine warfare is that inexpensive weapons are capable of causing colossal economic consequences. Even a few mines placed in a narrow strait can stop the flow of tankers carrying about 20% of the world’s oil and trigger a global energy crisis.]”

What that says to me is that the Iranian leadership have recognized (how could they not?) the air and sea superiority, indeed supremacy, of the US and its “tail wags dog” “ally”, Israel. The Iranian leadership may therefore be resigned to losing much, perhaps all, of their own oil production and transit as part of the damage from the war, and so have decided to go all-out to close (now, or soon) the Strait of Hormuz, in order to bring down the international economic order.

Should it so decide, Turkey could cut off almost all of Israel’s oil supply.

Apropos of nothing (?), I have never yet met a Kuwaiti that I could, even marginally, like, trust, or respect. Dishonest, unclean-looking, and unpleasant even by the low standards of the Gulf Arabs generally.

While I imagine it would be possible for American forces to take and make a bridgehead on some shore, or offshore island, and possible even keep that area occupied for a considerable time, the USA has not the strength, or the will, and certainly not the airlift capacity, to invade Iran and occupy it, or a large part of it.

Iran is the 17th-largest country by area in the world (Iraq is the 58th-), has about 93M inhabitants (Iraq has about 46M).

The land area alone is vast: about 7x the size of that of the UK, 3x the size of Ukraine and, while of course smaller than that of the USA (Iran is about a 6th of the size of the whole USA), still about the size of Alaska or, to put it another way, 4x the size of California 10x the size of Florida, or 12x the size of the State of New York.

Bottom line— the USA, were it to attempt invasion, would be unable to occupy or hold more than a small part of Iran. Kharg Island, maybe, but only at the cost of constant drone and rocket attack on that island and on all ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Iranians seem to be repeating their mistake of 2025, attacking all over the place rather than concentrating their resources on a few key targets (which to me would be the ben-Gurion Airport, central Tel Aviv, and the Dimona nuclear area. That would leave many other potential targets unattacked, but not everywhere can be attacked with sufficient force. It was once said that “to govern is to choose“; same applies.

All the same, as far as one can judge, the attacks on Israel, so far, seem to be more like minor nuisances to the population as a whole, rather than the wholesale destruction and carnage the Israeli Jews have visited upon the people of Iran, Lebanon etc. Certainly, had the Iranian missiles and drones hit any schools or hospitals, and killed any children and/or patients, you can be sure that UK/US TV and Press would have screamed unceasingly about it.

As always, Trump is like a big child, doing something that has unexpected consequences, then wailing for help from its parents.

Well, after all, (((who))) do you think pulls puppet Starmer-stein’s strings? The (((you-know-who))) element, as usual.

Some kind of black. Drugged, probably.

How strange that Isabel Oakeshott, apparently paid hundreds of thousands of pounds annually (and tax-free, because she holds UAE tax residency), and whose personal partner is multi-millionaire businessman and MP, Richard Tice, should choose to travel by the London Underground. Makes me think she must be mega-“tight”…

I lived for many years, on and off, in London, though not (thankfully) for the past 25 years.

Had I 10,000 men and pleins pouvoirs, I could restore order, permanently, to London within a month.

In the specific situation shown, the first volley would take down 90% of the untermenschen, and the rest would either flee or be detained easily enough, having once seen what happened to their “friends”.

That judge should be put up against a wall. Her judgment on sentence makes no sense at all from the viewpoint of protecting the public in Canada.

In a proper society, the invaders (probably Congolese) would be put up against a wall.

You cannot move society to a higher form when it is increasingly composed of individuals of lower race and culture. In fact, on that premise, you cannot even maintain society at its present level of culture and development.

We are struggling for a better society, a better way of life, higher living standards, and a European population.

[“Matt Lucas signed the ‘No hostage left behind’ letter to Joe Biden as Biden participated in the genocide in Gaza.

The letter repeated the Oct 7 atrocity propaganda of ‘women raped, families burned alive, and infants beheaded’.

A British man saw Lucas giving him a funny look on the tube so he said Free Palestine and questioned Lucas in public. 30 second interaction. Lucas lied in the video and smacked the man’s phone.

The press claimed Lucas was harassed because he is jewish. The man did not know Lucas was jewish.

The man lost his job after 3 weeks.”]

It is what “they” do—typical of “their” (((their))) behaviour.

Wall. Squad. End.

Again… “them”.

[“Sheldon Adelson saved Trump. In the 80s and 90s the whole Trump empire was collapsing because the Atlantic Trump Casino was in financial difficulties, but the structure of his company meant that he would lose all his properties.

And it was Sheldon Adelson who put together some like-minded pro-Israeli billionaires that saved him.

So he owed everything, if you like, to that group of Israeli billionaires. They saved him, and he’s been repaying them in kind ever since.’

-Alastair Crooke, the former Middle East Advisor to the EU Foreign Policy Chief, on Going Underground”]

Yes, these events are reported, at least in the UK and mainland Europe, maybe not or not much in the USA, but “somehow” the news is always less intense when it comes to Israeli-perpetrated atrocities like that, whereas when someone tries to shoot a few Jews in the Netherlands, or Michigan, that is reported upon far more heavily than families wiped out in Lebanon, or schools bombed or rocketed in Iran, with hundreds of children killed and wounded. Most people in the USA, and a great many in the UK, get their news from outlets owned or influenced by Jews.

Our animal friends. We must do everything we can to save them and help them.

Even compared to “Boris”-idiot? I suppose that Starmer-stein is a rather more polished liar, anyway.

Well said.

If such a step is to be taken, it must start with those who make a living and plenty of money by trashing our country.

Look for the (((reason))), America; it is all around you. In the political world. In the legal profession. On Wall Street. At AIPAC. At the Israeli Embassy. Elsewhere. A hydra-headed enemy.

What a very nice colourful display.

If you find that evil little sprite, have a wooden stake and mallet to hand.
