“Doctor” Coffey…Ha ha! She’s a fake.

What is disturbing about Therese Coffey being a Cabinet minister is not the mere fact that she is an idiot —she is not alone— but precisely that the present system leads to people quite as ill-suited as her becoming Government ministers.

I blogged a few years ago about Therese Coffey (updated from time to time): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/16/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-therese-coffey-story/.

Seems that the Jews of Israel want “Lebensraum“, and Gaza to be “Araberfrei“…. Who would have thought it?

I want to see a similar map of the UK, but about economic power and showing exactly “which groups” have it. Same about ownership, control, and influence over the “British” mass media.

As soon as the Israelis started the present round of their repeated slaughter of the population of Gaza, up popped Rachel Riley (and a few other Jews and Jewish organizations, such as the tiny but well-funded “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) to threaten, on Twitter/X, anyone opposing Israeli actions by reason of, or connected to, so-called “antisemitism”.

She strikes me as a very unpleasant woman.

Jewish-Zionist scribbler Nicole Lampert platforms more basically pro-Israeli propaganda in the pages of the Daily Mail.

Rachel Riley supposedly left “shaking with fear“?…I doubt it.

In case anyone wants to read the nonsense of Rachel Riley and Nicole Lampert, here is the full article/report/propaganda piece: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12669923/countdown-rachel-riley-antisemitism-jews-hamas-attack-israel.html.

Unlike Rachel Riley, I always support freedom of expression. #MoralHighGround.

But she said the positive support in contrast had been ‘heartening’ – including the 50,000 British people who signed their name to an ‘October Declaration’ speaking out against antisemitism and the need to call out Hamas as ‘terrorists’.”

[Daily Mail]

50,000“. So about 1 in 1,000 people in the UK (and elsewhere?)…or, to put it another way, only 1 out of every 5 or 6 Jews in the UK. Not very impressive.

Laurence Fox

Laurence Fox really should stop posing as a political leader. He is a political bad joke. He is, or thinks that he is, pro-free speech, and I approve of that (though, like Toby Young, Delingpole, and the whole “Free Speech Union” mob, his support is limited and biased), but he is basically a disconnected Conservative Party person who (understandably) wants less censorship, and fewer migrant-invaders coming to the UK.

Fox is currently parroting Israeli/Jewish lobby propaganda. He should stop pretending that “Reclaim Party” is anything other than a political joke (and far less amusing than the Monster Raving Loonies) and either return to acting, or join a real social-national party (when one exists).

Jew-Zionist flyposting

I notice that Jews are actually reporting pro-Palestinian people who have been removed pro-Israel posters in London (and maybe elsewhere) to the police. In fact, tearing down such posters is not a crime. Putting up such posters is a crime (all flyposting is a crime in London).

Typical, though…

Ursula von der Leyen— another NWO/ZOG drone. Completely in the pocket of Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby.

“...was treated well during her captivity“. Will the same be true of those captured by the Israelis? So far they have taken few prisoners anyway…

I seem to recall from my visit to Rhodesia in 1977 that the Rhodesian security forces also took relatively few prisoners.

The Israeli/Jew-Zionist propaganda machine is having its fear propaganda questioned, and by the freed Jewish hostages themselves.

Already some Jews are describing her as “a self-hating Jew“. Will they be pressing for her to be imprisoned in Israel now?

If that is true, i.e. that the Israeli forces are now stretched to the limit, then now, logically, would be the moment for Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, even Egypt, and those imprisoned in the West Bank territories, to strike. However, the Arabs and others in the region are disunited. The outcome remains uncertain.

A stupid, smug woman, who has never known either poverty or any financial struggle. Her father was a Con Party MP, and her husband is a director of numerous companies, including British Sugar.

A good point (taking the examples as one overall point). It must be— I myself have often made it over many years!

Points, by Laura Dodsworth, about free speech; points that I have made over the years.

Would-be dictator and political loony Paul Mason is one of the biggest hypocrites in the UK.

Alison Chabloz made a similar point (though arguably slightly wider) a few years ago, albeit (again, arguably) more stridently. She was prosecuted (and convicted) for having done so, despite the basic point being well-founded.

Looks as though much of the American public is waking up…

The police in England have become a joke, albeit a sinister kind of joke. Almost unable to do their proper job, completely under the thumb of the Jew-Zionist lobby, and veering from being almost more like social workers than social workers to behaving like total lunatics.

As for that crazed lesbian (I presume) in uniform, she seems to be pepper-spraying bystanders not directly posing a threat. The situation does seem confused, though. Some kind of pleb-brawl.

Looking at the film, there seem to be more police than locals. She is the only police “officer” going crazy.

Maybe she is taking some kind of testosterone “treatment”.

Some women, not by any means all lesbian, cannot handle power, even a small amount; or take themselves far too seriously. You see it at the practising Bar; also, on the lay magistrates’ bench, and on three-person or five-person tribunals (legal, regulatory etc). The po-faced inability to be calmly amused, lest people laugh at you… There’s a lot of that about.

Richard Tice and “Reform UK”

Saw a few pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby comments and tweets by Tice recently.

He is a waste of space, as is his tiny pseudo-nationalist party. The only good thing about it is that the few mugs voting Reform UK next year will help to bin even more “Conservative” MPs, though Reform UK will not win a single seat. More System-approved fake “opposition”.

I was once introduced by colleagues to a young man in the USA, a Jew who had recently served with the U.S. Navy Seals. As an individual, he was all right, but of course the Israel/US nexus ran right the way through him like Brighton rock.

As I know only too well, free speech is on the way out in the UK. I am (obviously) not a Muslim, let alone an “Islamist”, but I am not at all “offended” by some foreign person shouting about “Jihad” against Israel in the streets of London. I am not even very offended, or would not be, if the same foreign individual were to cry out for “Jihad” against the UK, or against me personally. After all, the most extreme Zionist Jews have been tweeting malevolently about me for about 13 years. The people of whom to be afraid are those not shouting in the streets.

If foreign (inc. foreign but born here) groups are a danger, then resettle them outside the UK.

As for Suella Braverman, she (like Jenrick, and Mark Harper, who was weaselling for Israel, as usual, on Sky News this morning) is just another doormat for the Jewish lobby. She has no idea of much, either politically or, I think, legally. A silly woman who is trying to position herself to be the leader of whatever small group of Conservative Party MPs is left after 2024.

Ha ha! No comment, I think, except to say that the word you want is “effect“, not “affect” (but I should not want to be regarded as a “grammar nazi”…).

On September 25, 2000, 19-year-old Kevin Hines attempted to end his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Plunging over 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour, he hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae and narrowly missing severing his spine by two millimeters.

Despite the odds, he miraculously survived the impact. Upon realizing he was still alive, an intense will to live surged within him. Yet, the weight of his clothes continuously pulled him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay. For what seemed like an eternity, he struggled to resurface briefly, gasping for air, just enough to hold on to life.

Suddenly, he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water’s surface, where he remained until the Coast Guard arrived. It was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat: a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived, as eyewitnesses had observed.

His story gained major media coverage and he has since become a motivational speaker and advocate for suicide prevention.

I read somewhere or other that, of those who jump off the Golden Gate Bridge and then survive both the impact and the waters (about 2%), most recall having a moment when they wished not to have jumped, and/or prayed for a miracle.

Knowing almost no Arabic, I have no idea what he is saying; maybe praising the build-quality of the tunnel.

As I blogged before, the old Soviet KGB had great expertise in digging tunnels. The one shown above looks well-constructed, lined etc. No idea as to depth, though. Presumably very deep.

It is not impossible that there will eventually be a kind of sectarian/civil war across Israel/Palestine. The massive military advantages Israel possesses lie in nuclear weapons, tanks and other armour, air power, high-tech surveillance, much of which loses effectiveness or even utility in closely-packed areas (which describes much of Israel/Palestine).

There may be a war, eventually, in which infantry or guerrilla forces play a major part.

Impossible? Maybe, but my prediction, a few years ago, that the Palestinians might break out of their “open prisons” to attack Israeli civilians in Jewish areas has now come to pass in the recent attack on Southern Israel, so who knows?

As I blogged before, the Gaza situation, as it now is, is most similar, historically, to the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, but this time the Jews are not the ragged defenders but the heavily-armed and armoured army, with air support, attacking an urban enclave filled with mostly-unarmed civilians (in this case, mostly babies, young children, and young teenagers).

My very popular assessment of Therese Coffey from 4 years ago (updated): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/16/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-therese-coffey-story/.

…and in, say, 20 years’ time, when the children in Gaza suffering now are 25-35 years old, what do you imagine will be their feeling about Israel and Israelis? Israel may not —now— much care, but if the results are incursions and massacres on 10x the scale of that recently seen, it will have no choice but to care…

True, but Goodwin is now parroting pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, propaganda and views. Nein danke!

Superficially positive, but I wonder to what extent that poll reflects the fact that the blacks and browns are breeding prolifically in the UK, but the real (white Northern European) British inhabitants of the UK are not even reproducing their numbers.

In other words, the population of 16-24 year-olds is simply less white, less European, than older generations. The proportion of (among others) Muslims in that age group may be (is) far higher. Demographic shift.

The question reminds me of the Brexit Referendum, when the Remain side was terribly proud of the (apparent) fact that “the more educated” voters favoured Remain. In reality, that was a mirage. A far higher proportion of younger people have attended some kind of supposed “Uni”, but the older generations simply had a smaller proportion of people attending universities, usually for financial reasons, and because universities were fewer in number. Many of the new “universities”, are “McUniversities”, conferring “McDegrees”…

Goodwin writes a good deal of sense, but no-one British who does not oppose Jew-Zionism (as well) can be respected.

Well, his MP-odyssey will soon be at an end.

Andrew Bridgen is considered very dangerous by the System, because he is an MP, not someone opining on Twitter/X or Facebook. The System will be doing everything possible to have him removed as MP and replaced in 2024 by a Con Party or Lab Party drone who will make the “expected” noises. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Bridgen.

Looking at Bridgen’s constituency, it was Labour from 1997 until Bridgen was elected in 2010. His vote-share has increased steadily since then, and in 2019 was 62.8%: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_West_Leicestershire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

Looking also at the present political climate, and the great unpopularity of the present government, it may be that Bridgen has as much chance as a “Reclaim Party” candidate as he would have had as a “Conservative” Party one.

Reclaim Party is a dead duck, in my opinion, but Bridgen has a high public profile, and it is just about possible that, if the Conservative Party vote in the constituency collapses, or reduces by 40%-50%, and if the Labour Party vote only increases slightly, that Bridgen might just manage to come through the middle and win by a short head. A long-shot, but just about possible.

All part of an overarching “agenda” (conspiracy).

I do not disagree on some of what Goodwin often expresses, but anyone who doormats for Israel and the Jewish lobby (as Goodwin does in that discussion, and in some of his tweets) cannot be respected by me…

Looks hopeful, as far as it goes…

I agree, in outline, with that tweet by Goodwin.

I would normally agree with that, but can think of a couple of advantages all the same. Hm, think that I shall lie doggo on that question.

About 25% (mostly over 70s).

Brits asked: “Which side in the Israeli‑Palestinian conflict do you sympathize with more?”

All Brits: Israel 21% Palestine 17% Both equally 29% Dont know 33%

Labour voters: Israel 9% Palestine 27% Both 35%

Conservatives Israel 39% Palestine 6% Both 27%

18-24 yr olds Israel 11% Palestine 39% Both 16%

Pensioners Israel 37% Palestine 11% Both 36%.”

There should be an MPs’ section (result would be “Israel 90%, Palestine 10%“, looking at how many are either bribed or intimidated by the Jew-Zionist lobby).

The true face of Zionism?

Those American (mainly) Jew settlers or colonists are far worse even than the old-style or “Sabra” Israelis.

Video from the hospital showed fire engulfing the building and the hospital’s grounds strewn with bodies, many of them young children. Hundreds of people were reportedly seeking shelter at the hospital at the time of the blast, which Hamas has called a ‘horrific massacre’ and a ‘crime of genocide‘.”

  1. Most Israelis are not descended from ancient “Israelites” but from Khazars:
  2. Much of the WW2 “holocaust” narrative, used to give legitimacy to the migration-invasion of Palestine by Jews in the mid/late 1940s, is not true, notably the “gas chambers” fable;
  3. The migration-invasion of Palestine by Jews in the mid/late 1940s was neither necessary nor justified. Jews massacred large numbers of Palestinian Arabs, and buried the bodies in mass graves, afterwards stealing the land, houses, apartments etc of the murdered victims.

The “holocaust” narrative is still, 80 years on, being used as cover for the continuing Israeli/Jewish military and other crimes.

Regev— an Israeli/Jew liar. Never believe anything “they” say.

Speaking of which:

Jew-Zionist loony and troublemaker pretends to fear “a worldwide pogrom“. I suppose that I should not comment.

Same loony seems to think that the inhuman destruction of the hospital in Gaza should not be noted or criticized because it is a so-called “blood libel” (the mediaeval belief that some Jews killed and/or ate European children).

In any case, even if we leave aside the hospital attack and the 500+ killed there, look at what the Israeli Jews are doing generally in Gaza. Massive destruction. Massive attacks on areas full of civilians, about half of which are children, and a quarter of which are young children under 11 or 12 years of age. Also, the cutting off of water supplies, food supplies, gas, electricity, medical supplies etc.

Meanwhile, in the UK, several people individually (including me) are being prosecuted under a law (Communications Act 2003, s.127) which is so open to abuse (mainly from Jewish/Zionist cabals) that the Law Commission has officially recommended its repeal.

I should add, belatedly, that my alleged sins are said to date from 2020 and 2021— nothing to do with the present Israel/Palestine situation.

Of course, both China and Russia are hardly known for human rights, but then look at the USA: Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Guantanamo Bay, the bombing of civilians (admittedly nowhere near the Israeli level. Israel is beyond the pale).

A Tory candidate standing in the forthcoming by-election once suggested that families using food banks should ‘f*** off’ if they could afford TVs and phones.

Andrew Cooper is standing for the Conservatives in Tamworth, Staffordshire, as voters go to the polls tomorrow after previous MP Chris Pincher was forced to quit after a sleaze scandal.

In an insensitive Facebook post in October 2020, Mr Cooper appeared to question whether people needed to use food banks.

“...Mr Cooper told the BBC that there needed to be better incentives to get people into work.”

[Incentives? Higher pay?]

[Daily Mail]

The candidate also cannot spell, it seems (“YOR” for “YOUR“).

Sounds like a fairly moronic individual. Director of an engineering company called GEFCO, formerly owned by Russian interests.

I saw a photo of Andrew Cooper in a local newspaper: https://www.banburyguardian.co.uk/read-this/tamworth-by-election-2023-tory-candidate-andrew-cooper-parents-4375867.

In that report, the photo shows him wearing a blue suit with two military medals (in the Russian fashion, too, i.e. the actual medals, not just the ribbons).

The medals appear to be (the photo is not very clear) the equivalent of “campaign” medals, one for Iraq and one for service of at least 30 days with the NATO force in Kosovo. I am not very well-informed about medals, so I may not be quite right about that.

I blogged briefly recently about tomorrow’s two by-elections: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/10/08/diary-blog-8-october-2023-including-a-look-at-the-upcoming-tamworth-and-mid-bedfordshire-by-elections/.

I find the Tamworth by-election hard to call. I think that it must be between Con and Lab. I think that it may be close, but Labour has a pretty good chance here.

What interests me is the question “if both by-elections are lost, will Sunak resign, or at least face calls to resign?”

More tweets

Well, who knows? With a day to go, there seems all to play for, not only for Lab and Con, but for the LibDems too.

At a guess, I too would have looked (pre-2020) at the Cons as the most likely choice by far (Nadine Dorries scored almost 60% in 2019), but people even in very “Conservative” areas are now mightily angry (mixed with apathy in view of the convergence of most Con/Lab policy). Not sure whether those former Con voters will vote Lab, though. I am inclined to think abstention or voting LibDem might be more popular.

The betting markets are often wrong on by-elections. Still, at present the betting exchanges have the Cons odds-on, Labour around 3/1 and LibDems around 5/1.

Sounds plausible, but that LibDem bet at 5/1 could be value.

It would be superb, though unexpected at present, to see that horrible bitch accredited to the UK also expelled (or whatever).

I suppose that Murray is referring to having been arrested on the basis of yet another malicious and lying complaint by the evil bastards of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, the same ones who are behind my politically-motivated trial late next month.

Looks like the pathetic Indian money-juggler and doormat for Israel is on the way out.

More about Tamworth

Further research into the Conservative Party candidate seems to confirm my earlier comments about his medals (Iraq and Kosovo): he enlisted in the Staffordshire Regiment, and served for 6 years. His final rank was Lance Corporal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-cooper-38367816a/?originalSubdomain=uk, and it seems that his specialism was as a sniper.

Cooper himself self-describes as “Progressing from Sniper to Lance Corporal in the Staffordshire Regiment of the British Army. Completing tours such as Iraq, Kenya, Kosovo and Bosnia performing duties including surveillance, target acquisition and official duties in France for Queen Elizabeth II“; and

Experienced, effective and diligent Railway Engineer with a strong track record in the sector following on from a distinguished military career. I specialise in railway maintenance and asset management but also have significant experience of railway engineering projects.”

Cooper having been a railway engineer for 17 years, I should think that he does a lot more good in that field than he might as an MP.

Well, there it is. We shall know the result late tomorrow, or early on Friday.

I think that Labour will win at Tamworth; not so sure about who will win in Mid-Beds. The bookmakers prefer Labour at Tamworth, and the Cons in Mid-Bedfordshire.

Despite the fact that Russia has good contacts in the region and called for de-escalation of the conflict, Western countries in the UN Security Council rejected Moscow’s proposal. Frankfurter Allgemeine explains this by saying that Russia has intentions to use the new conflict to its advantage. The newspaper points out that the Russian president calls the situation in Israel “a striking example of the failure of US policy in the Middle East” and accuses Washington of not taking the “fundamental interests of the Palestinian people” into account.

In addition, according to the German newspaper, the Kremlin is using the conflict to divert attention from Ukraine. “The prospect that Israel will now receive Western weapons and ammunition that Kyiv might otherwise receive is emboldening the power apparatus and the media” in Russia.

Moscow also benefits from rising oil prices, which fill government finances.

America has been condoning Israeli war crimes for years, recalls Scott Ritter It is not unusual that the Israeli military bombed a hospital in Gaza, killing 500 people.

Such tactics are consistent with the IDF’s “Mowing the Grass” doctrine, which involves disproportionate violence against not only militants, but also civilians, including children, US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.

At the same time, he said, Washington is in no hurry to introduce an embargo, stop or at least criticize Tel Aviv, whose army is actually committing war crimes with the help of American weapons. Moreover, the United States has been turning a blind eye to this fact for many years. “We know what Israel is doing. We support what Israel is doing, so any talk in the US about compassion for the Palestinian population is one hundred percent false. We have never sympathized with the Palestinians. We have always supported Israel’s perspective and strategic goals, even if they include the “Cut the Grass” policy,” Ritter emphasized.”

Gaza

A couple of cartoons which speak to me:

Another:

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12612267/IAN-BIRRELL-Inside-Gaza-Strip-Hamas-rules-iron-fist.html

Gaza has constant power cuts, dismal public services, dirty water and a crushing lack of jobs.

Most of its energy comes from Israel – but even the small contributions from Gaza’s single power plant, like all private generators, rely on imported diesel.

Much of the struggling health services depend on the United Nations and charities. Patients in need of more serious treatment require permission from Palestinian and Israeli officials to travel outside the Strip, which is ringed with 20ft fences, motion sensors, radar and cameras.

But the most critical shortage here is of hope. This is one of the world’s most densely populated places and has one of the youngest populations – yet more than two-thirds of young adults are unemployed, while eight in ten residents rely on external aid.

Although tens of thousands of Palestinians used to leave Gaza to work in Israel, the border was sealed after the Hamas takeover, so an entire generation has grown up never able to leave the Strip and never having met an Israeli.

This all makes it fertile ground for Hamas to find ‘martyrs’ for its twisted cause, especially amid the trauma of living under frequent attack and bombardment.

It is little wonder that past polls have found half of Gazans want to leave this blighted place – and no surprise that it was the source of the latest explosion of hatred to stain this turbulent region.

[Daily Mail].

A 2018 account from Conservative Party-supporting journalist Ian Birrell (he wrote some speeches for David Cameron-Levita c.2012), but interesting, and worth reading the full version.

Gaza has been called “an open prison” but it is is probably more accurate to call it a large-scale guarded ghetto. In fact, to me it resembles from a distance— I have never been there, nor (obviously) Israel— the Warsaw Ghetto of the early 1940s: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto.

That Wikipedia account has been subject to the (((usual))) bias, but gives the overall background.

All commonsense seems to have fled from both police and CPS. Real crime goes unpunished or not even investigated, while the police wet themselves over trivial incidents and/or people posting “wrong” thoughts online.

As for the CPS, they increasingly seem to specialize in making “State Trials” out of non-crimes.[see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_trials].

Of course, casualties in Gaza will be given less prominence than those in Israel, because the Western mass media is —mostly— controlled, or at least heavily influenced, by Jew-Zionists.

Look at the Jewish religious festivals. Most, if not all, are effectively celebrations of ethnic supremacism from ancient history. We are talking about 2,500-3,000 years of historical development.

If you said half or a tenth as much about Jews, the msm “claque” would be screaming and (in the UK) the “poundland KGB” police would probably be making a nuisance of themselves…

I caught a few minutes of Kay Burley on Sky News this morning. Complete pro-Israel bias. Not surprising. After all, the job pays well, and enough to dine at the Chiltern Firehouse, with bottles of wine at £400 apiece.

Political thoughts

The events in Israel/Palestine have resulted in an outpouring of System virtue-signalling.

Sunak, Starmer, and many others all falling over each other to pledge allegiance to Israel. Political con-man, and “controlled opposition” kingpin Nigel Farage, too. In a way, it is a good thing that those who are under that control have identified themselves.

On a different note, I wonder whether the “answer” to the otherwise intractable Gaza problem might be to establish a programme whereby Gazans can relocate to new towns across the Middle East, with co-operation of governments within the region. Instead of one very crowded city of 2 million inhabitants, 19-20 towns, each with 100,000 inhabitants. Gaza itself to be reduced to 100,000, or perhaps to be returned to sparsely-populated farmland.

The above “solution” might be acceptable both to the Gazans themselves (giving them greater freedom and better living conditions) and to the Israeli government (reducing the “security threat” to near-zero), if it could be organized.

A biased (in its tone) piece by a Jewish scribbler; nonetheless worth reading.

An emboldened Iran will extend the export of its missile and drone technology, which is already playing an important role for Russia in its campaign against Ukraine.

Indeed Moscow, though it has had good relations with Israel, has much to gain from a new Middle Eastern conflict.

The U.S. is likely to feel pressure to strengthen Israel’s defences against Hamas rockets with weapons like the highly effective Patriot surface-to-air anti-missile system. 

America does not have a big stockpile of these Patriots, and Israel will receive priority, meaning there will be far fewer for President Zelensky’s government.

Scale of destruction in the Gaza Strip 168 buildings, including 1,009 residential units, were completely destroyed, while 12,600 were partially damaged, according to the Palestinian Authority.

Ukraine is forgotten: the largest American media after the start of the war in Israel closed their “online” coverage of events in Ukraine All major American media have curtailed their coverage of events in Ukraine in live short news mode. CNN, which reported “online” in Ukraine almost non-stop, stopped updating it on October 6. Since then, the link to the Ukrainian “online” has disappeared from the European version of the publication’s main page and has not appeared on it again. Almost simultaneously, The New York Times stopped online coverage of Ukraine. Its main page, like CNN’s, now covers events in Israel online.

Ha.

Late thought

The stories coming out of Gaza and Southern Israel are more than merely unpleasant; terrible. As far as the Palestinian combatants are concerned, if they are sometimes monstrous, it is because they have been made monstrous, and made so mainly by the behaviour of the Israeli Jews.

Owen Jones also had a few words to say about me on Twitter:

That was Owen Jones joining in the Jew-Zionist-led msm attack on me 7 years ago, immediately after my wrongful and (as it now transpires) unlawful disbarment. He also colluded with depressive sex pest John Woodcock MP (now, and risibly, “Lord Walney”) to get me blocked by people on Twitter.

Woodcock/”Walney” was at one time the Chair of Labour Friends of Israel; Jones is part-Jew (either quarter or half: see my assessment of him above).

Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election

Regular readers of the blog will know that I comment rarely on Scottish politics in detail. However, a few words about the by-election.

Obvious points:

Labour won convincingly, its candidate a 35-y-o who resigned from Labour over “antisemitism”, rejoined after Starmer took over, and is a local schoolteacher: https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23511246.labour-pick-activist-quit-party-by-election-candidate/; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Shanks_(politician).

The SNP crashed from 44.2% in 2019 to 27.5%. To what extent that reflects hostility to the former MP, to the “nationalist” SNP having a Pakistani leader, to the Sturgeon scandal, and/or to the SNP’s failing record in government, is hard to say. Whether the result also reflects disenchantment with the idea of breaking away from the UK is also hard to say. Maybe a mixture of all of the foregoing.

For me, the fall in Conservative Party support from 15% to 3.9% is significant. The previous lowest point had been in 2005 (8.4%). A straw in the wind re. the 2024 General Election. At present, it looks as if only the safest Conservative seats (in England) will be held next year.

Turnout was only 37.2%, scarcely more than half of that in 2019. People are aware that the electoral system is just a rigged con-trick most of the time.

According to a poll from King’s College London, one in three British people believe the great replacement is happening. By the standards of liberal discourse, this means one third of the British public are far-right extremists, holding a view that is never represented in mainstream media and censored off most social media. Despite the heavy censorship and vilification of people who hold this view, people see the reality of rapidly changing demographics in their homelands.

Almost half the people polled disagreed. Are they blind, or just stupid?!

This week, the Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson addressed the nation on the “unprecedented” rise in gang-related violence, calling on the military to assist the police in a situation that is increasingly out of control. Kristersson blamed “irresponsible immigration policy” and “failed integration” for this worsening crisis, stating: “Political naivety and cluelessness have brought us to this point. Irresponsible immigration policy and failed integration have brought us to this point.

Exclusion and parallel societies feed the criminal gangs, providing space for them to ruthlessly recruit children and train future killers.”

11 people were shot dead last month alone in Sweden, the second highest ever recorded in a single month.

Sweden’s upsurge in violent crime coincided with a large rise in inward migration in the 2010s. Sexual assault also rose under the previous self-labelled “feminist government”. A report in 2018 found that 8 in 10 ‘stranger’ rapes were carried out by migrants.”

The Jew-Zionists coined the word “lawfare” to describe their own abuse of the English (etc) law.

@LozzaFox is restricted on what he can and cannot say on twitter by his bail conditions. The police are using their powers to control what is said on social media. When they release a rapist on bail, are they restricting them from going near anyone else? This is deep state control of free speech, it’s dangerous, it’s unacceptable, and the police need to be reigned in on this before it goes any further.

The Kremlin is establishing “deep and strong” cooperation with countries that are hostile to the West, including China, North Korea, Iran – Foreign Affairs [magazine].

Many a true word spoken in jest…I remember a visitor from the Soviet Union, one Alex (not the MP above, of course), joking with me during a similar prison accommodation crisis (in 1987, I think, and seen on Channel 4 News) that the British Government should make a deal with the Soviet Government to house Brit convicts. Alex said that he could guarantee that the Soviet Government would turn a profit on it.

He ought to have known, he himself having been arrested and convicted, on entirely invented evidence, of having been a spy for a number of secret services. He had been about 18 at the time, and the arrest came in 1948, the peak of the postwar purge. He had then spent 5 years in a camp in the region of Archangel in Northern Russia. Stalin’s death in 1953 had saved him, and millions of others, from longer or worse.

Collapsed support: a major failure?” For the second day in a row, the German Bild informs its readers that all is lost – despair reigns in Kiev, the situation is critical, and Western supporters are inclined to negotiate. “Soldier fatigue” is one of the biggest dangers.

At the same time, it is absolutely obvious: the situation for Ukraine has not become any less, but even more threatening! The counteroffensive is going less successfully than the Ukrainians and the West would like. The number of victims is extremely high. There is no necessary support in arms from the West. And Russia can produce more per day than the West, despite the sanctions.”

Conservative Party Conference

Saw a few minutes of Sunak’s speech. Pretty pathetic. The HS2 fiasco has become symbolic. Not that I was ever anything other than opposed to the ridiculous vanity project anyway, but now we have massive cost, massive environmental damage etc, but no useful train line at all, just a line that goes to or from Birmingham but only to an outer suburb of London, thus losing its purpose altogether. As said, pathetic.

It seems that Sunak is trying to portray himself as a Prime Minister, when the whole country knows that his popularity (as was that of even more useless Liz Truss) has never been tested via General Election. The longer Sunak holds on, and the longer he puts off a General Election, the worse his position is likely to become. However, if a general election were to be held this year, the result would almost certainly be a disaster for the Conservative Party, and the number of its MPs likely be reduced to around 100, maybe only 50 or so. Therefore, the circus will have to continue into 2024, maybe until December 2024.

Saturday quiz

Well, once again a narrow victory for me over political journalist John Rentoul. I scored 7/10 as against his 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 4, and 10.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12576995/SUE-REID-Theres-murder-week-farms-South-Africa-year-race-baiting-Marxist-loves-singing-Kill-Boer-set-Vice-President.html.

“They came at breakfast time to murder Theo Bekker, smashing an iron bar stolen from his own farmyard into his skull before slitting his throat so he bled to death.

His four teenage attackers then tied up his wife, Marlinda, and put a plastic bag over her head before she slipped into unconsciousness. Mercifully, she survived.

Twenty-four hours before Mr Bekker’s killing, the nation’s most controversial politician, Julius Malema, had chanted an anthem entitled ‘Kill the Boer’ — a term for white farmers — at a rally of 90,000 followers.

High above the dancing crowd in Johannesburg’s black township of Soweto, Malema was raised on an electric platform like a king.

Sporting his signature red beret, the self-proclaimed ‘freedom fighter’ mimicked the sound of a sub-machine gun — ‘Pah, pah, brrr!’ — as he shouted out his race-baiting song calling for the death of his white countrymen.

This ugly rally marked the 10th anniversary of the founding of Malema’s party, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). It declares itself Marxist-Leninist, wants to seize private property without compensation — particularly farms such as Theo Bekker’s — just as Malema’s hero, Robert Mugabe, did in neighbouring Zimbabwe.

In the past 20 years there has been a farm attack every two days and a murder every five days, with whites of Afrikaans or English descent mainly targeted.

Andrew Kenny, a respected South African commentator, said recently: ‘The ANC has been a disaster, especially for ordinary black people whom it has impoverished while making a tiny ANC elite fabulously rich.

‘After apartheid, our electricity provided the world’s cheapest energy; freight trains carried our ore (from the mines) to the ports; there was a good passenger network for workers. The ANC wrecked it with looting, corruption and a plethora of racist policies.’

The result has been economic collapse and mass exodus. A fifth of whites — both Afrikaans and English speakers — have left since the ANC came to power.

Emigration among the entrepreneurial Indian-descended community is high, too.

Meanwhile, the middle class have abandoned the ANC-controlled cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria in the north — now plagued by no-go areas, ransacked shops, gang warfare and other crime fuelled by unemployment.

They have settled in the Western Cape, the only part of South Africa that is run by the moderate Democratic Alliance.

The speed of the country’s descent has been devastating. Today, only 12 per cent of South Africans of working age pay income tax, while a third survive on £15-a-month state handouts.

World Bank analysts say a staggering 42 per cent of the adult population — the majority black — is unemployed.

[Daily Mail]

Several points to be made here.

First, Africa without European input descends inevitably to savagery. South Africa took longer than others to fall from being a fairly civilized country because it still had, in the 1990s, a fairly high proportion of European inhabitants. In 1911 it was 22%, and in 1980 still about 16%. That proportion has now dwindled to about 5%. Also, many of the more senior political and administrative positions are now filled, nominally, by blacks, selected purely on racial grounds.

Secondly, the black man was promised the Earth by the ANC and its stupid and/or uneducated leaders, starting with Mandela. The simpler type of South African black obviously believed that, once black “majority rule” (in reality, rule by a few, in a black semi-dictatorship) occurred, the blacks would all have the high standards of living of South African whites of the 1960s, 1970s or 1980s; houses, swimming pools, cars etc. In fact, for a few blacks, the leading ANC politicians, that did happen, but for the other 99.999% or more it did not.

The frustration of the South African blacks will be visited upon, not the ANC, but the remaining white people.

Thirdly, the lack of forethought etc under ANC rule became clear during the most recent drought, though wetter weather eventually saved Cape Town from disaster. That maladministration will eventually be seen in all sectors.

Finally, see how even the Daily Mail scribbler in the full report, one Sue Reid, still repeats the propaganda half-truths or untruths of the dim pro-ANC “British” msm of the 1980s/1990s: “cruel apartheid regime” etc…

The implementation of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan (basically, to funnel non-white populations to Europe, in order to create over time a coffee-coloured population to be ruled over by an exploitative stratum, mostly consisting of Jews and part-Jews) is happening in front of our eyes; in plain sight, pretty much.

I wonder whether that horrible social “disintegration” may be what is necessary to awaken the British people to the need for social national radical reform. Germany only chose Hitler when events and circumstances had reduced most of the population to poverty and hopelessness. Only 2.6% voted for the NSDAP in 1928. By 1932 that was 33% and, by 1933, 44%.

She quoted that source: “For these purposes, a large number of marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are concentrated in the Mykolaiv region. Their task will be to force the Dnieper River. At the same time, the Kiev special operations forces, which are trained by British instructors, will try to seize the Zaporozhye nuclear plant.”

“Representatives of Ukraine came to Turkey…. A meeting was held there where the conditions for resolving the conflict were agreed upon. Russia offered them excellent conditions… But NATO and the West did not allow them to accept it…

As a result, they have already lost a lot of territory,” Ritter said, adding that Ukraine is also at risk of losing Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Odessa.

Russia has invested more in the Kherson region in one year than Ukraine has invested in 30 years, said the head of the regional government Andrey Aleksejenko, on the occasion of the anniversary of the unification of the new regions with Russia.

“It must be said that the Kherson region has not seen such a scale of construction and repair of roads, schools, hospitals and communal infrastructure since Soviet times,” Aleksejenko said.”

“Heavy rains in October may prevent the Ukrainian army from using Western tanks, writes the “New York Times”. “Heavy rain is expected next month. However, the problem is the mud on the roads because, for example, the 75-ton “Challenger” tank can simply sink,” the newspaper writes.

If these tanks do not “conquer” the territory during the counter-offensive, Western support could weaken… Either because of a lack of political will or a lack of the West’s desire to deliver more weapons to Kiev, the authors emphasize.”

Russia cannot lose the war, strategically.
