“Regime”, “System”, whatever…

Their lot forbade: nor circumscrib’d alone

         Their growing virtues, but their crimes confin’d;

Forbade to wade through slaughter to a throne,

         And shut the gates of mercy on mankind…”

[Grey, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard; https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44299/elegy-written-in-a-country-churchyard]

There can be no doubt at all that the current migration invasion of the UK (of which the “small boats” part is but 5%-10%) will eventually collapse our society. Already we see the whole structure of what was the “nation” starting to buckle under the strain, yet so many biens-pensants, virtue-signallers, and naive idiots (as well as outright traitors) prefer to pretend that all is well…

At the end of the day, should the Russian leadership be or feel pushed literally into a corner, all Ukrainian cities could be flattened within half an hour. Literally half an hour.

So far, Russia has not wanted to do that, thank God, but the fact remains that that could happen…The Kiev regime cannot “win” this war (however you define “win“), and Russia cannot lose this war (and will not).

…while Trump and the Israeli leadership held a party.

I remain puzzled by Dan Hodges. His slavish pro-Israelism puts actual Jews in the shade, yet he is not Jewish (he may be “part-” but I have seen no actual evidence of that). As far as I can see, his extreme pro-Israeli views stem from some kind of mental condition.

Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan. Like me, like others, someone attacked via her profession (and otherwise) by the Jew-Zionist lobby in the UK.

I saw a couple of tweets about how West Streeting is not Jewish, so (supposedly) not biased. Very amusing. Streeting is completely in the pocket of the Jew-Zionists, and always has been.

Dim pro-Israel radio loudmouth Julia Hartley-Brewer thinks that it is “a war” when a state and people in possession of some of the most advanced weaponry in the world —tanks, jet fighters and bombers, hi-tech drones, quality sniper weapons, atomic weapons— unleashes that destructive power on an almost defenceless population, most of whom had no weapons at all (indeed, most were non-combatant women and children).

The only reason the [Israeli] Jews did not drop an atom bomb on Gaza was because it would poison most of the Jews in Israel itself. That, and render even less convincing the constant Jewish WW2 “holocaust” whining (and consequent profit-making via books, films, “reparations” etc).

Justice will be done, whether this year, next year, in 2033, or in seven generations’ time.

I think those women refer to the flag of Palestine, but it applies as much or more to the flag of Israel, waved by aggressive Jews in London and elsewhere recently; a pack of Jews even put Israeli flags all over the seafront at Hastings.

Stray thought

Dan Hodges seems to have forgotten (assuming that he ever knew) that, in the Soviet Union, in Stalin’s day and even afterward, ordinary criminals were often treated better than “politicals”.

In any case, the “police state” aspect in question is not Hodges’ “early release” red herring but the incarceration of people for minor disorder, or for tweeting comments etc.

The present UK situation is similar (don’t forget Starmer’s extreme pseudo-socialist ideological background): the real criminals are being released after having served only 40% —with other measures in place, as little as 20%— of their headline sentences, but —by any other name— political, or treated as political, prisoners are being swiftly incarcerated, and are being more harshly sentenced as well.

Incidentally, not only those convicted following the recent protests and/or “riots” (nb. I myself do not consider saying “boo!” to a police riot squad operative, pushing at his plastic shield, looting a sausage-roll shop, or even overturning the odd police car, a “riot” nor indeed a “political protest” as such).

A while ago, I read that a young man had served his entire headline sentence (6 years, I think), having been convicted on one of those trumped-up bs pseudo-“terrorism” charges the UK police and Clown Prosecution Service seem to love today (they often involve an accusation that the accused shared some or another “terrorist” material online, and at the same time owned completely lawful objects such as copies of Mein Kampf or a picture of Hitler; random pieces of circumstantial “evidence” put in to bamboozle a typical low-IQ rubber-stamp “British” jury).

More broadly, the lack of real knowledge of history is widespread now. As G.K. Chesterton said, he feared the uneducated less than he feared the badly-educated.

I was just watching a recorded episode of The Chase [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chase_(British_game_show)], first broadcast some years ago.

The “Chaser”, Jenny Ryan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Ryan], fluffed the question “which of these three was first to be named as Time magazine Man of the Year in 1923?“, the three being Mussolini, Hitler, or Stalin.

I thought Mussolini (because of the October 1922 March on Rome, after which Mussolini became Prime Minister), and that turned out to be the correct answer. However, it occurred to me that there was at least a possibility that the correct answer would be Hitler (because of the Beer Hall Putsch of November 1923).

What swung it for me was that Hitler was still only a fringe figure in 1923, whereas Mussolini had taken over his country’s leadership. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Mussolini#Appointment_as_Prime_Minister.

However, Jenny Ryan, “the Vixen”, thought that Stalin was the right answer, afterwards commenting that she had “thought that Stalin was a much bigger figure back then“, thus showing ignorance of the history of all three countries concerned (Stalin’s more or less supreme power in the Soviet Union only dated from about 1928, though it increased from 1924; in 1923, Lenin was still alive, and the leadership still somewhat collegial). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin#1924%E2%80%931927:_Succeeding_Lenin.

“The Vixen” later made another mistake on the same show, in failing to choose Offa as the answer to a question on Anglo-Saxon history; she chose “Cnut” (Canute), but he was not even an Anglo-Saxon king (though admittedly a king during the Anglo-Saxon period). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offa_of_Mercia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnut.

That’s the problem with such quiz shows, esp. The Chase. The “Chasers” and others have memorized lists, and (some) facts, but generally have no real in-depth background. I have noticed that with other Chasers, such as “The Beast”, Mark Labett.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing“, especially in political journalism.

Au contraire. Starmer and his pack (Yvette Cooper etc) do care about free speech— about shutting it down, that is.

Antisemites and holocaust deniers“?…

I wonder what (((special interest group))) mainly influences the Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship? Need one ask?

In the end, though, the Starmer-Labour government, for all its “massive majority” triumphalism, only got the votes of 4 people out of every 20 (eligible), 4 out of every 12 people (that voted). Quite a number of even the voters that voted Labour only did so to make sure that the Conservative Party lost the election.

The real support for Labour is about 10% of the population. The real support for the attack on free speech etc is even smaller, only a few percent of the whole population.

Starmer and Labour have no legitimate mandate.

Typical…

The “British” mass media is utterly infested, of course. The UK msm routinely parrots Israeli and UK Jewish/Zionist lobby propaganda.

Islamism. One of several major threats to the future of European culture and civilization, and therefore the future of the world.

Storming a plane, arresting someone, & sentencing them to prison for 20months…For being ‘among a group of people’ & ‘throwing a single item’… Then Police making a social media boast video, complete with music, about it (while turning comments off). http://What.On.Earth ?! Did I fall asleep & wake up in China or something.

Meanwhile… A) You can literally be filmed (allegedly) battering police officers in an airport & be released on bail to do press conferences etc, whilst still weeks later remaining uncharged. B) You can sexually assault children in the sea and go without even being described in the press. Tho people are supposed to be ‘helping look for you’. C) You can be a convicted child rapist and avoid jail if you break your license terms ‘because there is no space’.

This country is becoming a complete basket case. Shame on anyone who celebrates this situation.”

I agree.

The police and Clown Prosecution Service love the “performative” stuff such as “storming” a plane to arrest someone (rather than waiting until the passengers disembark and go through immigration in the normal way, then quietly detaining the suspect).

It’s all part of the Starmer-Labour poundland police state and TV/Press show for the masses. Pretending that throwing a plastic bollard or a wheelie bin is “terrorism” etc.

Interesting food and health advice. I had never heard of that.

Import them, and you also import their behavioural patterns.

I know (and want to know) little about Lily Allen, but everything that I have heard or read about her makes me despise her.

Let us hope that something unpleasant happens to Lily Allen.

I shall be hoping that bad luck strikes her.

That whole area of complex-sounding but meaningless bs is its own “industry” of nothingness now. It has ballooned over the past half-century, mostly in quiet corners of academia and the civil service. People may call me “biased”, but I should like to bet that much of it (if not all) started with “the usual suspects” (((them))). (cf. Freudian psychoanalysis).

“Them”…

Condemned out of their own mouths.

Who would have thought it? Still, no doubt (in the tiny little minds of Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and ludicrous “lord chancellor” Shabana Mahmood) that real criminals doing real crime is the better option, as compared to middle-aged housewives and others being released and then making socio-political remarks on Facebook or Twitter.
