The silver lining to the present atrocities being committed by Israeli Jews is that even fewer people will now want to listen to the endless anti-German (and anti-European) Jew-Zionist propaganda re. the 1920s, 1930s and early/mid 1940s, which has as its real agenda the bolstering of Jewish and Zionist power in the present-day.

I disagree that 16-y-o people should vote. I should prefer a voting age of 28.

As to Starmer-stein’s desperate ploy to increase the Labour vote in 2028 or 2029, I doubt that it will have the huge effect for which he and his cronies may be hoping. The 16-17 year-olds may, most of them, prefer Labour to other parties (at present), but most will not vote, and many may not vote for Labour, especially after the spending cuts etc.

Perhaps that lady would like to move over to drinking Vichy water. It’s better for you than Coca-Cola, and has an interesting history. Vichy Celestins is the source I prefer.

Trump is right, though, about Coca-Cola having been better when they used cane sugar.

Imagine if that were to happen in reverse. Whole streets in North and North-West London would be devastated.

Despite the overwhelming military power of the Israeli forces, their “reduction of the Gaza ghetto” has still not been completed.

I do. He is also as thick as two short planks and incredibly ignorant.

…and then briefly, and ludicrously, Prime Minister.

[“A textbook example proving our so-called leaders haven’t got a damn clue. Asked about the UK supplying F-35 parts to Israel, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy spits out utter bullshit about how stopping the supply would affect conflicts like Ukraine,where, news flash, the F-35 isn’t even in use….These are the very same people who want to fight Russia. Clueless and dangerous.“]

Lammy, a “leader“, though?… Hardy ha ha. Just an egregious example of a “diversity hire”…

That refers to Esau: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mess_of_pottage; https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Genesis-25-29/.

I agree with that. They have an obligation, even now.

Talking point

I noted years ago on the blog that Starmer-stein seemed to be politically clueless.

The “Ukrainian Army” is a collection of sacrificial cannon-fodder, commanded (ineptly) by a bunch of thugs posing as military officers, right up to the rank of general. It is losing (by death, serious injury, and capture) about 1,000 a day, which is probably 2,000 a day if you take into account desertions. It is, therefore, hardly surprising that there are no volunteers any more, and that the regime has to use press-gangs to kidnap people off the street.

This could end with the USA on one side, and virtually every other country in the world on the other side.

The 20th Century was “the American Century” but we are now in a successor-situation.

If Moscow or Petersburg are hit by serious missile attacks, Kiev might find itself flattened by nuclear attack, and if the Germans continue to assist the Kiev regime to that extent, Germany makes itself a target.

Has that ship not already sailed? Interesting, though. Were Turkey to use its massive army against Israel, that might be the end of Israel, notwithstanding Israel’s nuclear weapons.

It is only just over a century since Ottoman Turkey ruled what are now called Lebanon, Israel, Syria, and many more current regional states beside.

Is this the capital city of a civilized nation, or a city collapsing under the weight of non-European untermenschen, and which is rapidly moving towards a situation of civil/social war?

Talking point

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/westminster-must-fall

“Dominic Cummings delivered a Pharos Lecture in Oxford this week on why western regimes are in crisis. Here is an edited transcript of his speech:

The old political parties, the old Whitehall institutions, the old media, the old universities, the old courts constitute a political regime. This regime has become cancerous. The cancer has metastasised and the cancer is attacking everything healthy in the country; all the healthy institutions and healthy impulses are the target of Whitehall.

If you imagine our ancestors who built our civilisation over generations, looking at a sample of recent years, what would they see? They’d see the regime fighting to maintain secrecy of the vast cover-up of industrialised mass rape of white English children by Pakistani and Somali gangs over decades, while Whitehall continues to import people from the exact same tribal areas responsible.

The system just rumbles on with its own priorities

In January, Number Ten Downing Street claimed that Elon Musk was spreading conspiracy theories about national cover-ups. This is wrong. I witnessed the attempts at these cover-ups myself when I was in working in Whitehall – including the deliberate attempt by government departments to use courts to block reporting of the entire story.”

[Spectator]

I agree with much of what Cummings says (in the whole published speech); not all.

It is clear that his overall view is correct. The System (System political parties, System civil servants, System legal drones, System mainstream media etc) is indeed now toxic, and is killing both European race and European culture, and not in the UK alone.

Incidentally, I wrote about Cummings himself a few times in the past:

Dominic Cummings, A Government of Dystopia, and Lunacy Posing As Genius
Les Eminences Grises…of Dystopia

Cummings makes a good argument overall, though.

Israel and its population, including its diasporic population, are out of control.

In fact, it seems that Israeli attacks on Iran have already begun.

Talking point

Of course, these days in the UK, people cannot be identified as Roma Gypsies; they must always be referred to as “Romanians”, which is both inaccurate and, also, insulting to real Romanians.

A similar pathology is seen in the reporting about the dreadful Air India crash a couple of days ago. We are told that, among the hundreds of dead in the crash, 53 were “British”. What that means, of course, is that 53 were Indians who had British passports. As the Guardian put it: “British man is sole survivor of Air India plane crash that left more than 260 dead. On Thursday night, Air India confirmed that 241 of those on board had been killed in the crash, with a Briton, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor.”

Another example of this distorting-mirror is when German soldiers, sailors, or airmen of WW2 are referred to, even in large contingents, as “Nazis” (National Socialists). Thus we might read (or hear on the BBC) that such and such number of “Nazi ships” were in a sea battle, or that “Nazi armies” did this or that.

In fact, 8M Germans belonged to the NSDAP in WW2, about a tenth of the population (in 1933, the number was “only” 2M): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party#Membership.

Incidentally, you can see “the usual” (((the usual))) influence in that Wikipedia piece, with the article itself headed as “Nazi Party“, not “National Socialist Party” or “NSDAP”. As many readers will know, the term “Nazi” was coined by the disgraceful anti-Hitler scribbler Konrad Heiden (a half-Jew) as an insult, rather like “Stasi“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Heiden.

In the UK and elsewhere, truth is something “not wanted on voyage”. It embarrasses the liars of the msm and political milieu.

Israeli attack on Iran

[“Witkoff warns of deadly Iranian response to Israeli attack!! The American news portal Axios, citing one of the high-ranking US officials:

A White House envoy privately warned top Senate Republicans last week that if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities, Iran could retaliate with heavy casualties.

Witkoff sounded the alarm about what might happen in the future, saying Iran’s response could destroy Israel’s defenses.

The US is concerned that Israel’s air defense system will not be able to cope with a massive Iranian response, including hundreds of missiles.

U.S. intelligence estimates that Iran has 2,000 ballistic missiles with warheads capable of carrying more than 2,000 pounds of explosives. Israel is within range of many of these missiles.

The commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) is expected to visit Israel on Saturday for talks with senior political and military officials over Iran.“]

Toxic.

The bastard (Starmer-stein) spoke the truth for once…(only to retract it).

A straw in the wind

I happened to be somewhere not far from my home (coastal southern England) and passed two men talking. As I walked past, I caught a sentence or two of the conversation. One man (about 55, perhaps) was saying to the other that “it will not be long before civil war starts in this country“. Interesting…

Not a traditional type of civil war, at an educated guess. Not a typical “race war” or ethnic conflict either, but more of a multiform civil/racial/social/cultural war, and one with more than two sides; perhaps several, or even many, sides.

I shall be watching events with keen interest.

My own hope is, shall I say, rather different from that of the lady tweeter.

Who would have thought that there would be commercial flights from Rijeka (Croatia) to Tel Aviv in the first place? Rijeka has only about 51,000 inhabitants.

Quite, but Netanyahu’s arrogant sense of entitlement is so typical of “them” (((them)))…

We are Aryans by origin, not Semitic (of either type).

Ursula von der Leyen is an evil sprite. Even taking the money transfers at face value, what an incredible blow to the peoples of the EU states. The EU is in economic doldrums partly, perhaps largely, because of the monies wasted on the brutal, shambolic, and corrupt Kiev regime.

It seems that Arab states such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia are actually helping to defend the Jewish state of Israel. After the history of the past 70+ years! Others may disagree with me, but as far as I am concerned, I would never trust an Arab with anything.

When you pair that with the ever-increasing proportion of Muslims in the overall UK population, you do not have to be a strategic genius to perceive the danger.

I have always opposed the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby and bloc in the UK, but the fact remains that we face more than one enemy grouping.

A good point, on the face of it.

Late tweets

Alerts, yes, but how many major targets have been hit?

I imagine that they have parallel but secret command centres too.

Much of that is driven by hate-filled, malicious Jew-Zionists such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”. They make malicious complaints to police, official/professional regulators, employers, and others.

The “diversity” continues…

Take a look at the online Crime pages of any newspaper, local or national, e.g. Evening Standard, My London, whatever. Make up your own mind…

Whether it happens today, next month, or in a decade’s time, Israel is doomed.

History moves on, and almost every historical and historic leader has both positive and negative aspects, as do most societies.

As noted previously on the blog. In fact, in the end, about 80% of the supposed “asylum-seekers” are allowed to stay. Starmer-stein will make sure that that figure rises to 90%, and even the ones that eventually fail to make a case will, most of them, not be deported.

Under the now completely outdated rules and principles established after WW2, there are quite literally hundreds of millions of people who might make out a case for asylum in the UK, the state the world is in. Are our so-called “leaders”, the System political idiots, going to allow them all in? What do you think our society will look like then (before it collapses)?

Exactly.

They prefer the kind of war that involves (((them))) raining down missiles on defenceless women and children, as in Gaza and elsewhere.

I examined that question, among many others, in one of my most popular blog posts (see below):

All so that civilized European countries can waste the resources that should be going to the future of those countries on the maintenance —forever— of million upon million non-European parasites and their offspring. Scarcely any will make a positive contribution (even leaving aside the racial-demographic aspects); most will be (and are) at best parasites, at worst criminal or terroristic.

The concept of the creation of a “super-race” does not (only) mean that one existing race rules other existing races, but (also) means the gradual change, or sometimes less gradual change, from an existing race to a higher race-form, one which can be the basis or foundation for a quantum leap in human evolution.

Talking point

[from Electoral Calculus]

To my mind, two aspects stand out: firstly, the fact that Reform UK has been attracting voters from all System parties, leaving the Greens aside. Former Conservative Party voters, but also former Labour Party voters; even some former LibDem voters (presumably, people who previously voted LibDem as being “the least bad of a bad bunch”). Secondly, the fact that Reform UK seems to be able to pull out of their self-imposed (?) exile people who in recent times have preferred not to vote (presumably in disgust at the choice or, rather, lack of choice, offered.

I have said many times on this blog that, with (in 2024) just on 40% of the entire eligible electorate preferring not to vote, any party that could energize even a substantial fraction of those voters, might sweep to power. It is not clear what proportion of 2024 non-voters are now willing to vote Reform, but it seems to be a substantial proportion, anyway (and no other party is managing to do the same).

A further point of interest is how many 2024 Lab and Con voters are now intending to abstain. Quite a few, but more from the Labour camp. I am guessing that the one-time Corbyn supporters are either going Green or abstaining, while others are going LibDem or to Reform, but it may not be so clear-cut.

What the picture will be by 2029, I cannot say, but somehow I doubt that most of those dissatisfied voters will be flocking back like homing pigeons to Lab or Con. Indeed, it may well be that both main System parties will experience further drift away from their control and influence.

Gaza

Whoever in the UK —whether Jew or non-Jew— supports what the Israeli Government is doing in Gaza is complicit in war crimes of a deeply sadistic and brutal kind.

Jewish orgs in the UK, such as the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], maintain that only 6% of Jews in the UK say that they are not “Zionists”, and that the vast majority of the remaining 94% support what the Israeli Government is doing. From the horse’s mouth.

Starmer-stein has vowed to maintain arms sales to Israel. He is therefore and thereby aiding and abetting the worst kind of state terrorism, indeed terrorism bullying a civilian population (a high proportion of which consists of non-combatant women and children) which has no means at all of protecting or defending itself, let alone of fighting the Israeli Jews with their jet aircraft, missiles, tanks etc.

It becomes ever more obvious that the establishment of the State of Israel was a terrible mistake. Still, perhaps it will be possible to correct that, together with other, connected, mistakes.

You only have to look at the schools, particularly at primary educational level, particularly in the cities, towns, and suburbs. There are few white children (“formerly known as English or British”) at all.

Electoral Calculus translates that result to Reform 376 MPs, Lab 129, LibDem 65, SNP 39, Cons 11. Once again, if replicated at the 2029 (?) General Election, terminal for the Conservative Party.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

That kind of special forces type of operation is in a grey area alongside “terrorism”. The Kiev regime is doing it not from a position of strength but from one of military weakness, weakness on the battlefield. The Kiev regime’s forces are depleted, at little more than skeleton strength now. Russian Federation forces are steadily if slowly advancing across the major sections of the front, and are not retreating on any sector of the front.

I expect a Russian move shortly that will be both payback for the recent drone attacks on airfields as far away as Western Siberia, and an escalation which may create a breakthrough for the Russian side.

Makes a million a year. Not bad for someone who, after an expensive private education, left Durham University with only a 2:2 in English.

I once had a girlfriend who opined that Durham University was where people study if they are from wealthy families but cannot get into Oxford or Cambridge. That was in relation to a barrister who was a friend of a couple she knew, someone with a very unusual name— something like “Mauleverer”.

In fact, I met said barrister when we attended a dinner party (not my favourite activity) in Blackheath in, I think, 1987 or thereabouts, at which that barrister was also a guest. I was a belated Bar School student at the time (though about 31). The barrister in question must have been 40-something, but in my opinion looked 50+.

The hostess was a charming blonde lady of Polish origins (but I think born in the UK), whose familiar name I forget and was something like Dushka (but not that). Her husband was a friendly chap who seemed amused by that barrister’s seemingly dog-like devotion to the hostess.

If truth be known, the barrister in question struck me as a bit of a nitwit, and I was told that the hostess later said to my girlfriend that I had given more of an impression of being a senior barrister than the said real senior barrister, despite my being ten years younger and a mere Bar student.

Well, perhaps my view was wrong, or at least superficial, because I believe that I read that the barrister in question was then or not long afterwards a silk (QC, now of course KC) and later became a commercial arbitrator and judge (I think in Hong Kong), as well as a trustee of one or two well-known institutions. So maybe he was not a nitwit, at least not entirely. Or maybe our social system rewards people from privileged backgrounds who make the right noises. Take your choice.

Tweeter “Mido” needs to know that, without the almost endless arms, ammunition, money, medical supplies, and other aid (eg food) being channeled to the Kiev regime from the West, the war would stop in a matter of weeks, perhaps even days, and what is left of the Ukrainian state and society would simply cease to function, also in weeks or days. Even state benefits and pensions in Ukraine are now being underwritten by the NWO/ZOG states.

As for troops, the Kiev regime is already pressing into service all sorts of people hitherto exempt. Kiev is running out of cannon-fodder.

Just imagine— were Biden to drop dead, that would be the new U.S. President…

Never assume that progress, or civilization, or culture, cannot just stop, or be destroyed, or that society cannot fall into decadence, backwardness, and evil. In the UK, a gradual slide is happening right now, all around us, but most people are still blind to it.

Radio 4 Today Programme

An irritating start to the day. I awoke late. Usually, I switch off my radio once the BBC World Service, and Radio 4 Farming Today, is finished for the day, so that I do not have to hear the Today Programme and its annoying mixture of official propaganda, harshly hectoring female presenter tones and Jewish-Zionist bias. It has become unlistenable.

Today I missed, and left the radio on. The result was that I woke up to find being interviewed, the part-Jew barrister, Jolyon Maugham Q.C. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Maugham].

It may be that my readers on this blog will already be familiar with Maugham via his prolific tweeting, his pro-EU stance etc. He makes a great deal of money practising in the field of tax law.

https://www.devereuxchambers.co.uk/barristers/profile/jolyon-maugham

In my view, his tweets tend to show a smug and self-important persona, but that is just my opinion.

Maugham is now also notorious for having killed a fox.

I had assumed that the killing occurred at the converted Sussex windmill where he lives when not in London.

https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/18124662.sussex-windmill-owner-killed-fox-baseball-bat/

However, the BBC and some other parts of the msm [see below] reported that the fox was in fact killed at Maugham’s London home; that, though superficially implausible, is in fact quite possible, as the “urban fox” has proliferated.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7829009/Anti-Brexit-lawyer-Jolyon-Maugham-battered-fox-death-bat-faces-RSPCA-investigation.html

Maugham is no longer facing prosecution by the RSPCA. His Today Programme interview rather exposed him, in my opinion. He, like the good QC that I assume he is, examined the wording of the statute in question, then put a certain complexion on that wording in order to exculpate himself. It might even be argued that his exposition almost invited people to pat him on the back for having complied with the statutory wording!

He must be a good barrister. As to whether he is a good man, well, “the soul of another is a dark wood” (Russian proverb— “чужая душа тёмный лес”). G.K. Chesterton once wrote that “if a man can shoot his grandmother at a distance of a mile, he may be a good shot, but is not necessarily a good man.”

What I found lacking in Maugham’s interview this morning was any expressed sorrow at what the fox suffered. It was all “me me me, I, I, I.” He feels (it seems) no sorrow, no guilt, nothing at what (he seems to be saying) he had to do. In fact, was that so, anyway? He could have telephoned the RSPCA, presumably. He seems to be saying that the law almost insists on someone in his situation doing what he did, and that seems doubtful.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/foxes-moles-and-mink-how-to-protect-your-property-from-damage#foxes

https://foxrepellentexpert.com/list-of-laws-that-protect-foxes/

“It is an offence to mutilate, kick, beat, nail or otherwise impale, stab, stone, crush, drown, drag or asphyxiate any wild mammal with intent to inflict unnecessary suffering (Section 1 Wild Mammals (Protection) Act 1996)” [CPS Guidance]

https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/offences-involving-domestic-and-captive-animals

A grey area, but the wording requires “intent to inflict unnecessary suffering” to ground a charge.

Of course, the law was drafted and passed with country landowners and farmers in mind, rather than London-dwelling barristers keeping chickens in their gardens (which to me seems an extraordinary thing to do anyway, and not a little silly).

It is true to say that foxes, unchecked, do a great deal of damage, and are liable to kill chickens en masse for the hell of it. Answer: protect your chickens properly.

Overall, Maugham seemed to be making himself, not the fox, the “victim”. There seemed to be a good deal of deflection going on.

The very next item on Radio 4 Today was the Chief Pharisee talking about the Purim festival in Judaism, which starts this week, apparently. As can be read in the Wikipedia article below, the Purim festival, like most if not all Jewish religious festivals, is a celebration of Jewish exceptionalism and tribal ethno-nationalism:

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

A young Jewish woman is introduced to the king of the Persians. Her Jewish identity is concealed. She eventually marries the king, becomes queen (still concealing her Jew identity), takes over the kingdom from within, then, revealing her ethnic identity, has the “anti-Semitic” (anti-Jewish) adviser to the king killed, along with over 75,000 of his family and other enemies of the Jews. The Jews then effectively rule Persia.

The above is what “they” celebrate as a religious festival.

As to Radio 4, the disproportionate Jewish and Zionist influence (and output) has been growing since the 1990s, and that influence is especially apparent on the Today Programme. It is also true of BBC World Service, which has hugely declined in quality since the 1980s. Sad.

A bad joke…

The social security or “welfare” “reforms” of the past decade, “masterminded” by dimwit Iain Dunce Duncan Smith and others, may be a joke, but a bad one, and the results are far from amusing for millions. Duncan Smith and the others have never been properly (or at all) punished for their evil.

He gives the impression of being a bit of a dimwit, if truth be known. He was talking about Coronavirus, surely outside the ambit of his brief (though constitutionally any Secretary of State can fill in for any other).

Dowden may have been chosen to appear because he was in public relations at one time. If that was the reason why he was talking, it did not convince me. This government’s response to Coronavirus seems sluggish and complacent. George Osborne, on Today earlier, seemed to want a far more energetic and urgent response from government.

The migration-invasion continues unabated

Britain continues to be swamped; anyone who imagines that our borders are closed or even guarded is living in cloud-cuckoo land:

Boris-idiot

Jesus H. Christ! Will you look at this idiot, posing as “Prime Minister”?! Talking simplistic crap to that little fag-end Philip Schofield and the bimbo (whoever she is)…

What kind of bad karma does the UK have, to have an incompetent, stupid poseur like Boris-idiot as supposed head of government at such a time?

If it were not for not wanting the dreary boredom of the thought police at my door (again), I would say straight out what I think should be done with this bastard and his bastard Cabinet of traitors, spies, criminals and nincompoops.

Music for the present sombre mood…

Update, 23 February 2026

It took me about another month, maybe less, to realize that the whole Coronavirus/Covid thing was massively overblown and the (by then) frenetic and dictatorial governmental response panicked and stupid. Not long after that, I understood that this was a planned or semi-planned attempt to bring in a police state via popular panic and fear.
