What is the Israeli/Jewish excuse this time?

In reality, everything that has been happening in all parts of occupied Palestine relates to the plan to settle immigrant Jews everywhere, then to expand Israeli Lebensraum and to create, over time, a “Greater Israel”:

It’s not hard to figure out why Reform is now surging in the polls.

Millions of hardworking, tax-paying, law-abiding people in this country are utterly frustrated & fed-up with the elite consensus that has been imposed on them from above for the last 30 years.

An elite consensus that’s defined by a deliberate and extreme policy of mass, uncontrolled immigration which is making us poorer not richer, is driving crime and ushering in millions of people from culturally inferior and incompatible nations.

An elite consensus that’s given us broken borders which make a mockery of our claim to be a self-governing, sovereign nation, are allowing an assortment of murderers, rapists and criminals onto our streets, and which our so-called “leaders” refuse to fix because they’re more interested in helping strangers than protecting their own citizens and children.

An elite consensus that’s ripped open our economy to a rampant and relentless globalisation that benefits an alliance of urban elites, global corporations and immigrant workers but which is smashing the working class apart and hollowing out our national economy.

And an elite consensus that would rather see Britain waste billions of £££ overseas each year on foreign aid and trying to maintain our failing asylum system than redirect all this money from British taxpayers into fixing Britain and helping British families before reaching out to the wider world.

For much of the last thirty years this broken consensus has been imposed on the Forgotten Majority in this country by both Left and Right, by both Labour and the Tories —by the Uniparty. They are the architects of the disaster that you see around you today, of the managed decline of a once great and proud nation that you used to know and love but today no longer recognise.

And so just as you’d never invite back an architect who took the home that had been loved for generations and destroyed it the people out there are now starting to reject the architects of what they see around them today —endless, unavoidable, embarrassing, never-ending national decline.

They might not think Nigel Farage has all the answers. They might not think Reform is the perfect vessel. But what unites them is a feeling that is far more powerful than any one leader or party can convey. “We want our country back”.

This is why we are now starting to see wholesale and historic change in the national polls and, soon, the country. Because what I think we might be about to witness in British politics is not just a revolt against an out-of-touch elite minority but a full scale revolution against the Uniparty and all that it stands for.”

“‘No medical evidence’ to support Lucy Letby’s conviction, expert panel finds.

Babies the former nurse Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering were in fact the victims of “bad medical care” or deteriorated as a result of natural causes, an expert panel has concluded.

Outlining what the senior Conservative MP David Davis described as “one of worst injustices of recent times”, the international team told a press conference there was “no medical evidence” to support claims of deliberate harm.

A panel of experts, chaired by Dr Shoo Lee, examined the cases of 17 babies whom Letby was charged with murdering or harming at the Countess of Chester hospital in north-west England.

Lee, an emeritus professor at the University of Toronto, said said the 14 experts had found “so many problems with the medical care” of the babies and nothing to support the claim they were attacked. “In summary, ladies and gentlemen, we did not find any murders,” he told a press conference in Westminster on Tuesday.”

[Guardian]

I personally have no fixed opinion at all on the matter (and have not read up on it in any great detail), but the way that the NHS now is, I do find it impossible to ignore the possibility that the unfortunate babies in question were not murdered but simply died as a result of poor care.

Also, if the Lucy Letby convictions turn out to have been unsafe, it would not be the first time that events triggering huge public anger will have also resulted in egregious miscarriages of justice.

David Davis has courage. He would have made a far better leader of the Conservative Party than any who actually were elected in the past 25-30 years.

Electoral Calculus suggests that that, at a general election, might produce a Commons with 212 Reform UK seats, 196 Labour, 106 Conservative, 72 LibDem, and 7 Green (etc). So a Reform minority government.

Reform UK is part of the journey, not the final destination, of course. A useful bridge, if you like.

200+ Reform UK MPs would change the whole atmosphere at Westminster. For example, they could demand proportional representation and then, if the System parties block that, appeal over their heads to the British people via a second general election that might see Con and Lab even further diminished.

I feel, listening to what many people I hear in the course of everyday activity, that the British people have pretty much had enough of migration invasion, attacks on free speech, and enough of the still-encroaching police-state dystopia under the present Labour Friends of Israel cabal (and its “Conservative” predecessors).

Another big factor is the “nothing works properly any more” feeling, which is based on fact— things don’t work properly any more (a situation which, with the increasingly racially-mixed population, can only worsen).

Who, really, would vote for a Nigerian woman who, though born in London, was brought up entirely in Nigeria and the USA, and only came to this country aged 16? That, alone…

Apart from underwhelming pay and conditions, at least for those enlisting in the ranks, who would want to join armed forces of a country that pretends to be squaring up to Russia and China (both of which have armed forces 20 or 30 times the size of the UK’s) yet cannot even defend its own shores against migrant-invaders?

What are recruits supposed to be defending? A multikulti, mixed-race population? The wealthy and selfish 1%, most of whom are not even British in any real way? The Jewish lobby? The completely rotten mainstream media, legal professions, and treacherous “political class”? What, then? The self-interested and pathetic “Royal Family”, now consisting of Charles, Camilla, the tame thick princeling William (now already 42 y o), the ridiculous entitled nobody, Harry, and of course Meghan Mulatta?

If Reform succeeds, but is then found wanting, the British people will finally turn to the only possible alternative except full Communism— social nationalism.

I imagine that the lesson learned by the Palestinians of Gaza (etc) is that, to match the overwhelming military power of the Israelis, the only way is to take and keep Jewish hostages. Not, of course, the lesson the Israelis wanted to teach…

Major political mistakes, banal corruption and simply poor analysis of the situation – ignorance of history and misunderstanding of the nature of ‘Ukrainism’ – played their role ,” Medvedev said.

– “Biden did the worst at one point, essentially starting a war between the collective West and Russia, which almost turned into a nuclear conflict with NATO.”

” Recently, he clearly did not fully understand what was happening. Yes, we must admit, such a war is economically beneficial for the United States. But the political costs and the real danger of a fatal conflict are much greater. But the old man was not ready for this. This is a case when the head of the world’s largest power completely failed to cope with the situation . As a result, the Democrats unfortunately lost the elections. If Biden’s problem is his inadequacy, then the fault of his administration is that it deliberately left a very difficult crisis legacy on the Russian track for its successors. The harmful side effects of Biden’s decisions will continue to manifest themselves for a very long time , “Medvedev wrote on Telegram.

– “That is why it will take decades for Russian-American relations to fully normalize. Although, in my opinion, in the current reality this is impossible in principle. And frankly, it is not clear whether it is necessary at all,” Medvedev concluded.”

Well, this week 7/10, thus just beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 10. I admit that my (correct) answers to q.’s 4 and 9 were educated guesses.

Blog readers

I am always interested to see from where hits on the blog come. In the past week, from 16 different countries (inc. UK). Of course, with advances in technology, you cannot say for sure where readers are located; some may be, say, in Australia but appear to be in the USA, but I daresay most locations are accurate.

I was just looking at the apparent location of readers since I started the blog towards the end of 2016, so 8 years ago. Readers from 155 countries and territories in the world, so from about three-quarters of the world. There are 195 states in the world, plus some extra territories that do not have that status (such as Antarctica— and, yes I have had the odd hit from there, presumably from some scientist at a polar research base).

I have occasionally mused on who it might be in (inter alia) Lesotho, Antarctica, Greenland, Burkina Faso, the Aaland Islands (maybe I can guess who that particular one is), American Samoa, Chad, Tadjikistan, or Congo-Kinshasa, that is reading my thoughts and ideas.

The largest number of hits has always been from the UK, though (about 70%, with a further 10% from the USA).

The readership of the blog, on a daily basis, is still modest, never reaching over a thousand on any one day, and often not reaching even a hundred (I do not publicize the blog anywhere, and am not on Twitter/X or Facebook etc), but I have always taken the view that “one human soul is a big audience“.

John Rentoul seems unsure. He neither endorses nor dissents. He probably imagines that people actually read those (mostly) LibLabCon leaflets at election-time. Wrong; most, maybe 99%, go in the bin unread.

Who do the Starmer-Labour drones think will occupy those new houses, if ever built? Migrant-invaders, mostly, and/or their offspring. Already, there are huge areas occupied mainly by non-Europeans. Thamesmead, in the “******** of England”, is only one of many.

That may be the only way, in the end.

Incredibly, there are nearly 400,000 Twitter/X members still bothering to follow the “thoughts” of that useless creature, a Nigerian whose parents are NHS consultants; he apparently lives (or lived) in the attic of their house.

Actually, “Femi” [Oluwole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole] is a good example of why “points-based” immigration does not work. His parents would be (under a points-based system, had one existed in the 1980s) allowed in because (presumably) well-educated, professionally qualified etc (one a surgeon, the other a paediatrician). That, however, does not guarantee that the offspring of those allowed in will be of any use to the country!

Femi Oluwole has never yet managed to work an actual job, let alone qualify for any profession or skilled occupation, despite having attended a fee-paying school, and despite having been enabled (by his parents’ affluence) to undertake several “internships” across the UK and Europe after having been awarded a degree in law and French at Nottingham University. His longest stretch of near-work was a year or so heading an EU-funded anti-Brexit operation in London. That was about 7-8 years ago.

Femi Oluwole is now 34 (35 in March 2025) and occasionally appears on platforms such as Sky News as a talking head (every “British” TV discussion, quiz show or whatever apparently now requires at least one black, despite the fact that actual blacks still constitute only about 4% or 5% of the population).

I thought, a couple of years ago, that Oluwole was aiming at becoming a Labour MP, but apparently not, unless he tried but was rejected (I do not know).

I presume that Oluwole makes some kind of living via online clicks etc, as well as by occasional TV appearances.

Oluwole is in fact a completely useless African loudmouth and know-nothing, yet is treated as somehow relevant by Sky News etc. A sign of how sick the “British” msm really is. He represents no-one and nothing, and has nothing of interest to say.

Goodwin talks much about the Muslim population, but Muslims do not generally own newspapers, radio stations, newspapers, or major businesses and finance houses in the UK.

The Muslim problem in the UK is largely one of numbers, and is real enough, but far from the whole national problem of the UK.

What would happen if —and as may happen— Nigel Farage and Reform UK do achieve a breakthrough, and Farage really does become Prime Minister (perhaps in 2028 or 2029)?

In that situation, the question devolves to “what then?“.

The country will still be full of migrant-invaders, even if migration-invasion were to be halted overnight. The country will still only be about 80%, perhaps by then only 70%, European (i.e. “white”). The Jewish/Zionist lobby will still be in positions of power in finance, business, mainstream media, the legal system, and politics. The country will still be in a situation of societal and cultural degeneracy. The country will still be in a continuing and serious economic decline.

Social-nationalism is the only alternative to the dystopian collapse of society which can already be seen, in outline, in the UK.

Reform UK is a way out of the immediate dead-on-its-feet present political mess made by the System parties, and may presage a shifting of the Overton Window among the public as well, but is only part of the journey, not the destination.

As I predicted on the blog even before he became Prime Minister, Starmer is incapable of doing the job even to a mediocre extent. Hopeless, as well as being a 100% puppet of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby.

Starmer is now saying that local elections due in 2025 may “have to be” “delayed”. Banana republic tactics.

Starmer, and/or (((the lobby))) behind Starmer, intends to enfranchise 16-y-o voters. A desperate and ill-advised ploy. Those young people will not necessarily vote Labour. Under Corbyn, they might have, but that was years ago. Among the young, the young (real) English, the “Overton Window” may be moving faster than among the older population. As for Starmer himself, he has no mental flexibility (as I predicted). For a former senior barrister, he is or seems very slow on his feet. A box-ticker.

Starmer may think that those aged 16 or 17 will vote Labour. As Labour now is, I doubt it. What future have the young in contemporary Britain? Not much. That may translate into radical protest, albeit possibly of a lazy “slacktivist” kind. Reform UK is pretty much the only game in town, unless you count the Greens.

Vulgarly-put, but correct in substance.

Good point, if obvious. The voters have clutched at the “Boris”-idiot pseudo-Conservative straw, the “Labour” straw, so why not the Reform UK straw?

The public, in a sense, are to blame. They are more interested, even now, in rubbish such as football matches, The X Factor, Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Strictly Come Dancing, and similar garbage, than in the fact that a million non-whites are invading this country every year, or in the housing crisis (connected to the invasion, of course), or in the slide in educational and cultural —and behavioural— standards.

There again, those —often (((those)))— who control or influence the mainstream media are the real villains of the piece.

Hypocrisy unlimited. The Leeds-based Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson is a prominent member or supporter of the two main Jew-Zionist Israel-lobby groups that have persecuted me over a decade or more, namely the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, and “UK Lawyers for Israel” (“UKLFI”), the memberships of which overlap to some extent. Both have complained about me, maliciously, either to the Bar Standards Board or to the police, or both, as well as to Twitter/X and others. See below:

As for Myerson himself, he was sacked as a Recorder (part-time judge) in the Spring of 2024 after having failed to temper his outbursts on social media.

[“Get down there where you wanted to send me, you unclean spirit“]

Incidentally, Myerson himself was threatened (by others) with complaints to the Bar regulators, some years ago, and immediately activated the “usual” “victim” mode, whining about people wanting to deprive him of his living just because of his tweets (which, he whined, were part of his private, not professional, life)! Self-awareness— zero.

“They” never learn…

There is no peaceful or “constitutional” way of removing Starmer and his cabal of Labour Friends of Israel evildoers before a general election is called, and that might not be until 2029.

The AfD is not the destination, but merely the way, or one way, towards it, just like Reform UK.

Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson getting the law wrong (again)…

On a wider point, that whole traditional rank of “King’s Counsel” or KC should be done away with. Outdated, and now all but meaningless. As an ordinary barrister from 1991 (in practice from 1993) to 1996, and then from 2002-2008, I encountered QCs (as they then were) in court a number of times, and did OK against them quite a lot of the time, if I say so myself. Sometimes they won, sometimes I won.

I believe that about 1 in 6 of practising barristers are now “KC”. In the past, particularly before the Second World War, the proportion was far smaller, partly because those in a position to recommend and/or make the decision were more selective; partly, also, because there were fewer applications, and that was partly because a “KC” then usually had to “lead” a junior (non-KC) barrister, and so cost the lay client 2x, sometimes 3x or more, in fees. Some took silk only to find that they became far less busy. These days, not only does a KC often appear alone, but in some cases even unattended by a solicitor.

I believe that I recall from the memoirs of Lord Denning [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Denning,_Baron_Denning] that when he “took silk” (became a KC), in 1938, there were only 4 such “letters patent” granted that year, including his own. In 2024, no less than 100 persons became “KC” (5 honorary only, 95 ordinary).

Of course, in recent decades, arguably starting in the early 1990s, the pernicious influence of “political correctness” (now often termed “woke-ness”) has had its effect; it has never been admitted that the Bar now has some King’s Counsel appointed at least partly by reason of their “ethnic” background, but that such is the case is the opinion of not a few (including me).

Well, there it is.

As to Lord Denning, in his day, he was the most popular judge among the public; arguably the only popular judge, as well as the one with the most name-recognition. Opinion among barristers was less unmixed, though few if any would dispute his very great ability.

I saw Lord Denning up close only once or twice, notably when hurrying to the Library at Lincoln’s Inn in the early 1990s. My chambers were in the Inn at the time, and I was also a member of the Inn then (I was much later —2017— expelled, as an automatic consequence of my politically-procured disbarment of 2016).

I pushed open the very heavy oakwood Library door and missed, by only an inch or two, knocking over Lord Denning, who must have been about 94 (b.1899). I recall that he did not flinch, and smiled benignly as I held open the door for him.

[Lincoln’s Inn Library]

Incidentally, just now looking at Wikipedia’s article on Denning, I see that, by 1936 (2 years before he took silk), his income was some £3,000 a year (arguably worth about £200,000 in the money of today, and income tax was far lower in 1936). Impressive, but the leading silk of the day, Birkett, at about that time had an income of £25,000 (between £1.5M and £2M today).

By comparison, in that era, domestic staff in a large country house might receive between £100 a year (kitchen maid) to £250-£500 a year (chief gamekeeper, or for a valued chief cook or butler in a great household). Of course, most were fed, clothed, and given accommodation as well.

Still, Denning, in the mid-1930s, was making about 10x the income of a head gamekeeper, and perhaps 30x the income of a kitchen maid. Birkett, on a fee-income of between £25,000 and £40,000 a year, was making as much as ten times even those figures! Several millions a year, in 2024 money.

Social history. Interesting.

I see that, when Denning was made a High Court judge in 1944, his salary was set at £7,000, perhaps £300,000-£400,000 in today’s money, so rather more than High Court judges now get (around £225,000; and income tax is higher today).

So why was the bastard even here in the UK? Nothing in the Daily Mail report (of course). Looks Somali, but nothing in that very poor report about the origin or background of the criminal.

The Daily Mail “journalist” also describes the untermensch in question as having been “homeless” at the time that he killed the victim, but then goes on to say that the defendant drove away, went shopping after the attack, and then returned to his home!

No indication in that report as to why the defendant was even in the country. Nothing about the savage having a job, either, yet here the bastard is, in the UK, and with a home and a car, at that. Oh, and he had enough money to buy cocaine, apparently.

At least he thought to buy food for his cat, as it seems. I hope that the cat was not made homeless.

This country is so screwed, incredibly so.

Nothing that mass deportations or executions could not at least start to solve, though.

Ja, die Welt ist nur ein Leierkasten,

Jeder muß nach dem Liede tanzen,

The world is just a barrel-organ

Incidentally:

One day he [Heydrich] told me that a decision had been made in Hitler’s Headquarters, to create a big reservation for the Jews in Russia, which could be developed into a Jewish State. Considered the great advances of the German troops in Russia, everything looked very positive. A resettlement of such a magnitude appeared possible.” [from the 1976 memoirs of Lina Heydrich (geboren von Osten)].

The Oreshnik strike is a signal to the United States and its allies that Moscow will be ready in any way to prevent them from inflicting a strategic defeat. Sergey Lavrov said this in an interview with Tucker Carlson:
“Westerners are fighting to maintain their hegemony in the world, in any country, region, on any continent. We are fighting for our legitimate security interests
.”

Key statements by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an interview with Tucker Carlson:

Russia and the US are not officially at war, but a hybrid war is being waged against Moscow. And what is happening in Ukraine is the most visible and obvious part of this hybrid war. Moscow does not want to make things worse, but since ATACMS and other long-range weapons are being used on Russian territory, Russia is sending signals and hopes that the latest of these signals, from the new Oreshnik system, will be taken seriously.

It is obvious that the Ukrainians could not do what they do with modern long-range weapons without the direct participation of the American military.

The message we wanted to convey by testing this hypersonic system in real conditions is that we will be ready to do everything to protect our legitimate interests. The Minsk agreements stipulated that Kyiv should enter into direct dialogue with the people who did not accept the coup d’etat and promote the development of economic relations with this part of Ukraine, but none of this was done.

We prefer a peaceful settlement through negotiations based on respect for the legitimate security interests of Russia, respect for the Russian people living in Ukraine, their fundamental rights, linguistic and religious rights, which have been destroyed by a number of laws adopted by the Ukrainian parliament.

It is absolutely useless to claim that the people who came to power as a result of the military coup in February 2014 represented the Crimeans or the inhabitants of the east and south of Ukraine. The Crimeans rejected the coup, demanded to be left alone and said that they did not want to have anything to do with these people. So did the Donbass.

If there had been no coup d’état in February 2014 and if the agreement reached the day before between then-President Poroshenko and the opposition had been implemented, Ukraine would be united and Crimea would be part of it.

Russia is ready to send additional “messages” to the West if they do not draw the necessary conclusions after the launch of Oreshnik.

Russia is not considering the possibility of a nuclear war with the US.

Trump is friendly in conversation, but this does not mean he is pro-Russian.

Russia does not intend to destroy the Ukrainian people, they are brothers and sisters for Russians.

It is not his responsibility to disclose information about the number of Russian citizens killed since February 2022; this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense.

Russia still hasn’t received Navalny’s test results after his treatment in Germany.

Talk of a limited nuclear strike is an invitation to a catastrophe that Russia does not want.

Russia has never set out to kill people, unlike the Ukrainian regime.

There is a tragedy in Ukraine, while in Palestine there is a catastrophe

The number of civilians killed in Palestine in a year is almost twice the number of civilians killed in the Ukrainian conflict over 10 years.

US ‘feeding’ some Kurdish separatists in Syria.

Moscow does not believe that the solution to the Ukrainian issue is only for Russia and the US.

Statements by individual NATO officials about the possibility of preemptive strikes against Russia raise concerns.

The West is making a serious mistake in believing that Russia’s “red lines” can shift.

Zelensky is inadequate if, after everything he has done, he wants to return people of Russian culture to Ukraine.

For peace in Ukraine there should be no NATO, military bases or exercises involving foreign troops.

West will have to consider realities on the ground for agreement on Ukraine.

Russia will judge the Trump administration on its specific steps, but Biden wants to leave him a difficult legacy.

Why are @Nigel_Farage and Reform surging again in the polls? Because of one word. Immigration. Because of mass, uncontrolled, unprecedented immigration.

Consider just a few things we’ve learned since the election in July —and which you’ll already know if you read my newsletter.

We’ve learned that despite all the promises on Left and Right to reduce net migration it’s now rocketed to nearly one million people a year —more than twice what it was at the time of Brexit.

We’ve learned that neither Left nor Right, nor more importantly the Treasury, have any serious interest in slashing net migration and their forecasts now assume ongoing mass immigration forever.

We’ve learned that enough people to fill the city of Birmingham migrated into Britain last year —in just ONE year.

We’ve learned that the government departments and agencies that are supposed to count immigration cannot even get the numbers right.

We’ve learned that according to the government’s own forecasts Britain’s population is forecast to grow by at least another 6.5 million people by the year 2036 —equivalent to six Birmingham’s.

We’ve learned via the centrist Pew Research Centre that between today and 2050 Britain will see the largest increase in the absolute number of Muslims of all European nations.

We’ve learned that Muhammad has become the most popular baby name for boys in Britain for the first time, overtaking Noah.

We’ve learned that mass immigration is not only the biggest driver of Britain’s population growth but is now, in fact, the ONLY driver of our population growth.

We’ve learned that the fertility rate among the British has fallen to 1.4 and is forecast to fall below 1.3 by the end of the century, well below the replacement rate of 2.1 and while nobody in Westminster will dare talk about pro-family policies, we’ve learned that 86% of all immigration that’s now coming into Britain is coming from outside Europe —from poorer and radically different nations and cultures.

We’ve learned that our broken asylum system which neither of the big parties are willing to fix is now costing us at least £5.4 billion a year and has cost us around £18 billion since 2018.

We’ve learned about these costs at the very same time as our leaders have taken winter fuel payments off pensioners and smashed family farms to save £2 billion We’ve learned that over the last four years, only 15-18% of people who migrated into Britain came here to work in skilled jobs.

We’ve learned that on average each low-wage, low-skill migrant is now costing British taxpayers between £150,000 & £1 million a year.

We’ve learned that while Keir Starmer is talking about building 1.5 million homes we need to build more than half that JUST to keep up with the demand from immigration.

We’ve learned that over the last 4 years some 40,000 criminal offences were committed on Britain’s streets by immigrants who have avoided deportation.

We’ve learned that at least 1 in 4 migrants who avoid deportation have gone on to reoffend.

And we’ve learned, only this week, that since the financial crisis some 441,000 people from outside the UK have been given new social housing lettings at the same time as British families and young people have been plunged into a major housing crisis by our hapless elites.

This. This is why one in four Brits are now turning to Nigel Farage and Reform. This is why Reform is now ahead of Labour and looks set to pick up the realignment which the Tories squandered by lying to the country.

Millions of British people have simply had enough. Had enough of Labour Had enough of the Tories. Had enough of the expert class. Had enough of the lies. Had enough of the gaslighting. Had enough of the insults. They want their country back. And they will use whatever vehicle is available to get it back.”

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, an international, transnational conspiracy to create a mixed-race population, especially in Europe.

Both main System parties (and the LibDems) are connected to that conspiracy. Traitors who should be, and one day will be, dealt with.

The mainstream media also is riddled with traitors and those who go along with the evil plans of the conspirators for reasons of money and/or careerism.

There will one day have to be a thoroughgoing purge of the political, mass media, and general cultural milieux.

When Germany was on its knees after the First World War, and riddled with traitors and exploiters, one man, with a few followers, stood up against the tide. He attracted support and, despite the attempts to repress the national rebellion, prevailed and created the most advanced state in the world at the time.

Britain, and much of Europe, now also needs to free itself from exploitation and treachery.

Diary Blog, 4 December 2024, with a few thoughts about Reform UK, Tim Montgomerie’s defection, proportional representation, and Reform’s upsurge

Morning music

Reform UK

Tim Montgomerie’s leap from the Tory ship to Reform UK? Now this is a statement. Thirty-three years of loyalty to the Conservatives, yet even he’s had enough of the dithering, U-turns, and wet centrism. Reform UK is becoming the island for those sick of the Westminster circus, a home for patriots tired of compromise and careerists. The Tories should be terrified—if stalwarts like Montgomerie are walking away, what does that say about the state of the party? Reform UK isn’t just nibbling at the edges anymore; it’s carving out a proper movement for common-sense politics and sovereignty. Watch this space, lads. The political realignment is only just beginning.”

Naturally, for anyone social-national, Reform UK is only a step forward, rather than any giant leap. Many of its expressed policies are wrong, and many of its candidates non-European. It is also pro-Israel etc.

Reform, however, may help to kill off the System parties over the next few years.

As for Tim Montgomerie, I have of course never had any time for him. He supported the fake “compassionate Conservatism” of David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne (both part-Jew) and the cruelties inflicted on so many by their policies, and by “welfare” (social security) “reformers” Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, the Jew “Lord” Freud etc.

Still, Montgomerie’s defection is an interesting commentary on the possible upcoming demise of the Conservative Party.

Reform UK is polling at around 20%. It has been there before, just about, but fell back to score only 14.29% at GE 2024. In my opinion, though, the fact that Reform UK was able to have 5 MPs elected (in contradistinction to other small parties of the past half-century and more) is more important than appears superficially.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results

To look at Reform UK’s underwhelming (in themselves and in terms of numbers) 5 MPs and say (as many Labour Party partisans, pro-EU drones etc, have done, expressly) “ha ha! You lost!“, totally misses the point.

For any small political party, under the UK electoral system, to get even one MP elected is huge; to get 5 elected at once is, well, massive.

That especially applies once one realizes that it was only the FPTP voting system, which since the 1960s has gradually ceased to reflect the real levels of political opinion in the country, which prevented Reform UK having about 93 MPs (14.29% of 650).

Under a (full) proportional representation system, Reform UK would have been awarded 93 MPs, the LibDems 79, the Conservative Party 154, and Labour 219, on the voting numbers at GE 2024.

In reality, were the voting system proportional, many more voters might have voted for Reform UK anyway, because not put off doing so by the perception that not voting Lab, Con, or LibDem is “a wasted vote”.

As can be seen from the graphic above, the present system of voting in England (particularly) is skewed against the smaller parties. Not Reform UK alone; the Green Party, under a fully-proportionate system, would have been awarded, at GE 2024, 42 MPs (6.39% of 650) instead of the 3 who were actually elected. Even George Galloway’s Workers’ Party would have 5 seats.

Some proportional-voting systems have a “threshold”, 1%, 5% etc, below which a party gets no seats.

We now have a Labour government which was voted for by a third (33.7%) of the actually-voting electorate, and by a mere 20% of the eligible electorate. It has only marginal legitimacy.

Having said all that, we are where we are. At present, the main two System parties still stand opposed to reform of the electoral process.

The case of the SNP, as blogged previously, is interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#History.

The SNP was founded in 1934, but only had its first MP elected in 1945, in a by-election, and he lost his seat only 3 months later. The next SNP MP won her seat in another by-election, in 1967, but lost it in 1970, though another SNP candidate won in another seat. At that time, there were 71 MPs holding Scottish constituencies.

The SNP did well in 1974, getting 11 MPs at one of the two general elections, but fell back to 2 in 1979. Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, the SNP increased its support but even in 2010 had only 6 MPs out of the 59 then available in Scotland.

Then, in 2015, the SNP had its electoral miracle, based on a “Conservative” Party government at Westminster supported by relatively few Scottish voters, and on a Labour Party which had been supreme in Scotland since 1945, increasingly so since 1964 and then in the early 21stC, but which was perceived as being useless (particularly so in the Blair/Brown years (when Labour was in power at Westminster) and thereafter, when Scottish Labour was headed by the egregiously poor Jim Murphy [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Murphy]. Murphy had been an unsuccessful university student for 11 years, and never did graduate, but became a Labour MP at the relatively early age of 29.

In 2015, Scottish Labour lost 41 of its 41 Westminster seats, while the SNP held or gained 56 (out of 59).

How does that relate to Reform UK in 2024 and perhaps 2029?

We have seen how the SNP took over a decade to get 1 MP, and 40 years to get a cadre of MPs, and how the SNP only surged to power 81 years after its foundation.

Reform UK, dating from only 2021, is however the same, in effect, as its previous persona as Brexit Party, founded in 2018, and a lineal descendant from UKIP (though that still exists as a small rump), founded in 1993.

Reform UK is now aiming to do in England, as well as in the UK as a whole, what the SNP did in Scotland in 2015, i.e. catch the wave of popular support. For Farage, Tice etc, there has to be that FPTP tipping point, the point at which the illogical, unfair etc FPTP system, instead of impeding Reform, starts to work in its favour.

Reform’s slightly underwhelming result at GE 2024 was purely the result of its support (and votes) being spread so thinly. Reform had considerably more actual votes than the LibDems, but few concentrations of votes. Where the concentration was dense enough, Reform got MPs.

The msm commentators, and the Labour and Conservative Party partisans, have not fully taken on board why Labour won so many MPs, and so won the election.

Labour won because the Conservative Party lost. Trite, yes, but the point is that —as can be seen from the percentage voting for Labour, only 33.7%— rather few people actually voted Labour, and most of those who did, did so in a wholly negative way, i.e. because in this or that particular constituency, the fight was perceived as being only between Lab and Con, or Lab and SNP in Scotland, and people desperately wanted rid of 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment.

What, then happens when Labour, Starmer-Labour, Labour Friends of Israel Labour, is hated and despised as much as the Conservative Party was 5 months ago? Well, actually, that has already happened, but of course Labour is going nowhere, insulated from dissent, protest, and even riot by its very large majority (presently 156: see https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/government-majority).

It has taken Starmer only 5 months to put Labour down where the Cons were, in popular estimation, after many years, arguably 14 years.

If the voting patterns of several years continue, i.e. people voting against rather than for candidates and parties, then I think it entirely possible that, in voting against Labour, Reform might be the receptacle for those “anti” votes, more than the Conservative Party. In fact, I can see at least the possibility that both Lab and Con will slump, Lab to maybe 200 seats, and Con to somewhere below 100. If that were to happen, there would be about 350 seats going to others, in England maybe 250. Reform could be the main beneficiary of that.

It may be speculative to suggest that the next general election could see Reform UK as the party with the most Commons seats, but it is now not impossible.

How many seats could Reform get? I do not know. Anywhere from 50 to 200, if they continue to gather support. Reform came second in 98 seats at GE 2024; on the other hand, UKIP came second in 120 seats in 2015.

The only gamechanger I could see for the Cons would be if “Boris” Johnson were to come back into direct politics, take one of the few “safe” Con seats left, depose the Nigerian woman, Kemi Badenoch, then appeal to the public, “cosplaying” his favourite role as an am-dram Winston Churchill.

As regular readers know, I myself despise Johnson, and hold him in utter contempt. However, many voters do not. Stupid, maybe, but we must look at the realities. In fact, Johnson is not terribly popular with the voters; just more popular than Kemi Badenoch ever will be.

I have often wondered why Johnson was not granted a life peerage. He could have had one, had he wished. There is only one answer— he wanted to keep his options open. Were he to return as Con leader, he could not do worse than Sunak (or Badenoch) electorally, in my view. A “Boris” general election might steal much of Reform’s thunder. The Cons might even become the largest party again. Hateful to me (as is Starmer-Labour) but it might just happen.

At GE 2024, parties and individuals other than LibLabCon got a record 30.4%. That means that, already, if taken with the 40.2% of eligible voters who did not vote, 70.6% of people did not vote for the so-called “three main parties”.

Exam grade inflation

Happened to see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-level_(United_Kingdom)#England,_Wales_and_Northern_Ireland.

In the early 1980s (when I took A Levels, studying for a few months alone in order to be able to get onto a law degree course, having dropped out of school a decade before, at age 16, in 1973), about 8% of candidates were awarded a Grade A. By 2009, that had grown to nearly 27%, despite the increase in the number of candidates.

In 2009, the concerns about grade inflation resulted in a new category being established, the A*. Look at the statistics. From 2009, about 8% were getting A* grades, but the ordinary A grades were, from 2009, running at around 18% or more. B and C grades were inflating even more.

As with the currency, grade inflation simply means that, in the end, the piece of paper becomes almost worthless.

Israeli war crimes— Genocide in Gaza

““My name is Amos Goldberg. I am an Israeli Professor of Holocaust Studies. For nearly 30 years I have researched and taught the Holocaust, genocide and state violence. And I want to tell whoever is willing to listen that what’s happening now in Gaza is a genocide. A year ago when October 7th happened, like all Israelis I was in shock. It was a war crime and a crime against humanity. 1200 people – more than 800 of them civilians – were killed in one day. Children and the elderly were among those taken hostage. Communities were destroyed. It was outrageous, traumatizing, personal. Like most Israelis, I know people who were killed, who lost loved ones or whose loved ones were taken hostage. But immediately afterwards came Israel’s response and within weeks thousands of civilians were killed in Gaza. It took me some time to digest what was unfolding before my eyes. It was agonizing to confront that reality. I was reluctant to call it a genocide. But if you read Raphael Lemkin – the Jewish-Polish legal scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ and was the major driving force behind the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention – what is happening in Gaza now is exactly what he had in mind when he spoke about genocide. It does not need to look like the Holocaust to be a genocide. Each genocide looks different and not all involve killing of millions or the entire group. The United Nations Genocide Convention explicitly asserts that genocide is the act of deliberately destroying a group in whole or in part. Those are the words. But there does need to be a clear intent. And indeed, there are clear indications of intent to destroy Gaza: Israel’s leaders – including the prime minister and the minister of defence – and many high-ranking military officers, media personalities, rabbis, as well as ordinary soldiers were very open about what they wanted to achieve. There were countless documented incitements to turn the whole of Gaza into rubble and claims that there are no innocent people living there. A radical atmosphere of dehumanization of the Palestinians prevails in Israeli society to an extent that I can’t remember in my 58 years of living here. Now that vision has been enacted. Tens of thousands of innocent children, women and men have been killed. Over a hundred thousand were wounded. There is a near total destruction of infrastructure, intentional starvation and blocking of humanitarian aid. There are mass graves and reliable testimony of summary executions. Children that were shot by snipers. All the universities and almost all hospitals are gone. Almost all the population is displaced. There have been numerous bombings of civilians in so-called ‘safe zones’. Gaza does not exist anymore. It is completely destroyed. Thus, the outcome fits perfectly with the stated intentions of Israel’s leadership. Lemkin – that scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ – described two phases of a genocide. The first is the destruction of the annihilated group and the second is what he called ‘imposition of the national pattern’ of the perpetrator. We are now witnessing the second phase as Israel prepares ethnically cleansed areas for Israeli settlements. And therefore, I have come to the conclusion that this is exactly what a genocide looks like. We don’t teach about genocides in order to realize it retrospectively. We teach about it in order to prevent it and to stop it. But like in every other case of genocide in history right now we have mass denial. Both here in Israel and around the world. But reality cannot be denied. So yes, it is a genocide. And once you come to this conclusion you cannot remain silent.” – Statement to Led By Donkeys, December 2024 – Photo: Parliament Square, London, 8.40am, 4th December 2024.

Powerful.

That statement certainly puts the UK and US-based Jew-Zionist “human rights” lawyers in their place, the ones constantly tweeting about how what has been happening in Gaza is supposedly not a genocide because… [how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?].

What really matters politically, though, is not the Westminster Bubble blame-game but what is actually happening on the streets. A million or more invaders every year (last year 1.2M) (yes, one or two hundred thousand leave, as do about a hundred thousand disenchanted Brits), and a steep slide in terms of public services, a decent society, crime, incomes, housing provision, and much else.

If things go on as they now are, there will be either a quietly-British form of social-national revolution somewhere or somewhen down the line, or (and/or) a kind of civil war mixed with a social war and a race war. A confused mixed picture, though, not a sharply-delineated and two-sided one.

In contemporary Britain, the truth is “inflammatory“…

I argued, in my long-ago talk at the London Forum in 2017, that people charged with such essentially political offences should never plead guilty.

Pleading guilty is understandable in ordinary criminal cases, in that it reduces the sentence where the evidence is overwhelming, but I consider it the duty of social-national and other nationalist defendants to plead not guilty. To plead guilty is to validate the prosecution. Also, in a jury case especially, you never know your luck.

I followed my own advice in my 2023 free speech trial.

Yes, I was still convicted, after a process that started, from my point of view, in February or March 2023, and ended with my sentencing hearing on 14 March 2024, but my “9-month community order” (probation, by any other word) ends in about a week, technically, and in reality finished in mid-September 2024; my “community order” sentence of “15 rehabilitation days” turned out to be half a dozen or so meetings ranging in duration from about 30 minutes to a couple of hours each.

Would I have been handed down a more lenient sentence had I pleaded guilty? I doubt it.

It does not even much matter that Reform UK would probably be poor at governing. The main thing is to smash the “two main parties” scam, and—to intrude a metaphor from the world of chess— to open up the board.

Clive Myrie

Happened to catch 10 mins of a TV jaunt around the Caribbean, presented by Clive Myrie. Needless to say, the black TV presenter focussed, when in Jamaica and Barbados, mainly on slavery, “reparations” for slavery, and on “racism” etc.

There was an amusing moment when Myrie met relatives in what I took to be their not unpleasant large villa, set amid a profusion of flowering plants. One of them mentioned how Myrie’s father had, after having moved to the UK, encountered “racism, not like you today“, but Myrie demurred. He obviously has that chip on the shoulder, despite being paid hundreds of thousands a year by the BBC and (as, co-incidentally, I just saw in the Guardian) large extra amounts moonlighting as well: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/dec/04/clive-myrie-apologises-for-failing-to-declare-at-least-145000-in-outside-earnings-bbc.
