Stray thought

I wonder whether the vitriol he has recently been experiencing from the Zionist Jews has woken James O’Brien up a little to the menace to free speech that they represent?

Israeli war crimes. Whether the overall war on civilians be called or labelled a “genocide” or not is almost immaterial. The cruelty and/or sadistic brutality of the Israeli Jews (and that of the Jew-Zionist support cabals in Europe, North America etc) speaks for itself.

“Rubio is a staunch supporter of Israel. He is a co-sponsor of a Senate resolution expressing objection to the UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which condemned Israeli settlement building in the occupied Palestinian territories as a violation of international law.[328] Rubio condemned Hamas’s October 2023 attack on Israel and expressed his support for Israel and its right to self-defense.[329] He called for the complete eradication of Hamas in Gaza.[330] When asked if there was a way to stop Hamas without causing massive civilian casualties in Gaza,[331] Rubio said Israel cannot coexist “with these savages…. They have to be eradicated.”[332]

A bloody Cuban.

Rubio is a semi-lunatic and, like almost all prominent American politicians, a puppet of Israel and the American Jewish lobby.

[“An Israeli official told the Jerusalem Post: “Turkey’s agreement to purchase 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets isn’t a game-changing threat to our Air Force. The Typhoon is a capable but not superior aircraft compared to our fighter jets. But it’s a clear and worrying signal that Turkey is accelerating its arms buildup in a way that could eventually challenge Israel’s military edge in the region. The deal isn’t an immediate threat, but still a headache for Israel”.]

This is the sort of thing that matters, not well-meaning people holding up placards in the UK to protest against the evil actions of the Israeli Jews in Gaza or the West Bank.

Eventually, both Turkey and Iran will have the means available to stamp on Israel and kill it off, very likely, notwithstanding Israel’s nuclear capabilities. Iran’s power rests, at long distance, on missiles, presently conventional, but perhaps eventually nuclear; Turkey’s power rests mainly on very powerful, and becoming more powerful, conventional forces; millions of soldiers, 2,500 tanks, and ever-more-powerful military air fleets.

I fully expect the Jews to be driven out of the Middle East eventually, but that will not, of course, be the final chapter.

Does Trump really think it effective grand strategy to threaten Russia, China, and Brazil (among other states) at the same time?

[“Peter Kyle – Labour MP for Hove and Portslade (East Sussex). Peter has been an MP for ten years and is now the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology. Peter previously worked for children’s charities and helped set up an orphanage in Rumania. He held senior positions while Labour were in opposition. Peter is also a Parliamentary ‘officer’ and Vice Chair of Labour Friends of Israel. Peter was a persistent critic of Jeremy Corbyn when he was leader of the party. The @ElectoralCommUK donations page shows that Peter has received £270,596.59 in donations and perks. In 2023/24/25 these have included: £118,433.22 from the Labour donor, banker and founder of Albourne Partners Simon Ruddick. £16,000 from international banker Anthony Watson. £13,000 from the @CWU, £99.840 from @PublicDigitalHQ to cover a staff secondment. The individual concerned was a ‘policy fellow’ at the Trevor Chinn funded/Morgan McSweeney run consortium; @LabourTogether £5,000 from banker and Chief Executive of Coutts & Co. Michael Morley £5,000 from Baron Patrick Carter. £15,000 from Simon Kime. £10,000 from Labour donor Lord Matthew Oakenshott. £10,000 from political donor Susan Ruddick. £13,665.57 from Lord David Sainsbury for international trips by air and on the Eurostar. £3,584 in hospitality and tickets from The Football Association for the Brit Awards and Taylor Swift and Madonna concerts.£1,835 from @SkyArts for hospitality and tickets to various events. £2,758.95 from the intelligence linked firm @HakluytCompany for a trip to San Francisco to meet with personnel from the tech industry. With his £93,904 salary, expenses, allowances, perks and very generous donations, there’s no doubt that Peter is living the good life as a Labour MP. ‘Poverty in Hove, part of Brighton & Hove, is a significant issue, with child poverty rates being a particular concern…Brighton & Hove has higher levels of pensioner poverty than the national average and contains the ward with the highest level of pensioner poverty.’ On 9th July 2025, Peter voted for the welfare/PIP cuts that will result in further distress and hardship for people who are disabled and unwell. Peter also voted to scrap the #WinterFuelPayment to pensioners and voted to retain the two child benefit cap which ‘significantly contributes to child poverty’ in the UK. @UKLabour @peterkyle.”]

“Oakeshott”, not “Oakenshott“, though [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Oakeshott,_Baron_Oakeshott_of_Seagrove_Bay].

Peter Kyle, MP for Hove and Portslade, is a typical member of the present Labour Friends of Israel government (arguably the least competent UK government in memory). A freeloader, out for what he can grab.

…and which (((group))) is pushing that the hardest, at root?

…which many will misuse in order to commit street crime, shoplifting, sexual offences etc.

I had already considered that possibility. Would probably give Reform over 300 —maybe even 350— MPs, Labour perhaps 100, Cons and LibDems about 75 each, and the new “Corbyn” party maybe (at most) 10. Something like that. Not as much difference as one might have imagined, but cementing Reform’s presently-likely triumph.

[“Everything Corbyn always was in a nutshell. Never a leader, always an activist. And whilst I think Gaza is an abomination and tragedy beyond measure and I personally would’ve both suspended arms to Israel and sent the Israeli Ambo home by now, it does not belong in the mission statement of a new British party. He’s had a lifelong obsession with Palestine and lost his political career over anti-Semitism. It will continue to cost him. Who isn’t in favour of helping Gaza? Nobody.”]

“Who isn’t in favour of helping Gaza? Nobody.”

Really? Nobody?!

The lady tweeter seems to have forgotten about Israel, certainly the Netanyahu government, almost certainly most of the Israeli Jews, and (probably) most of the Jews in the UK and elsewhere.

As far as Corbyn being an “antisemite” is concerned, I wish he had been; he might then not have been so easily removed by a conspiracy consisting of Labour Friends of Israel MPs, murky Jew-Zionist orgs circling like vultures overhead, and Israel-lobby msm scribblers, talking heads etc; also, pro-Israel mass media platform-owners such as Murdoch, Desmond and others …

From my perspective, Corbyn is not really “antisemitic” at all, or only marginally.

“Wow” indeed…if that opinion poll is accurate (and it may be), Reform would get 436 MPs at a general election (a Commons majority of 110), Labour 78, LibDems 55, SNP 37, Cons 15, Greens 4 (etc).

Any result like that would certainly spell the end of the long-lived Con Party, would knock the stuffing out of Labour, and would write Reform UK a blank cheque (subject only to the House of Lords, where Reform has no peers at all, out of 836 peers at present. However, Farage could just create hundreds of new Reform peers, or simply abolish the Lords).

Among the hundreds of Labour MPs who would be booted out would be Stephen Kinnock, Angela Rayner, Dan Jarvis, Jess Phillips, Ed Miliband, Luke Akehurst, Stephen Timms, Andrew Gwynne, Bridget Phillipson, Liz Kendall, Nia Griffith, Maria Eagle, Angela Eagle, Lucy Powell, Yvette Cooper, Anna Turley, Paul Waugh, Sarah Champion, Kim Leadbeater, Gareth Snell, Torsten Bell, Emma Reynolds, Wes Streeting etc.

Interestingly, Starmer-stein might survive, but no doubt would resign as Labour leader. He would not be interested in staying on anyway.

Prominent Cons in the bin would include Dunce Duncan Smith, Mel Stride (the Con “moderates'” great white hope), Kemi Badenoch (present Con leader and “great non-white hopeless”), Suella Braverman, Jesse Norman, Oliver Dowden, Julian Lewis, Desmond Swayne (my own local MP, and entirely useless, though I do not disagree with him on everything), Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Jenrick, Rishi Sunak, Mark Francois, Andrew Rosindell, the deadhead Gavin Williamson, “chocolate soldier” Tom Tugendhat, Nick Timothy, James Cleverly, Alex Burghart, David Davis, Jewish-lobby minor puppet Alec Shelbrooke etc.

Some LibDems and Greens would also be binned, but none of them is of the slightest consequence.

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

If “Carpetbagger Kemi” does that, the Con Party, presently on 16% public support (almost all of which consists of people over State Pension age), will fall to 6%. Oblivion.

Incidentally, David Gauke, yet another puppet of the Jewish lobby, yet another expenses cheat, yet another shameless freeloader, was chucked out of Parliament in 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Gauke; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_West_Hertfordshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

I sometimes feel ashamed at my country these days, once a world leader, once ruler of a great empire, when I see the new trains, train lines, bridges, roads, cityscapes etc in China, Russia, and even some parts of Europe, as compared to the UK. (ps. I regard Russia as sui generis, not —as such— part of either Europe or Asia).

The rise of Reform UK in Wales

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/nov/26/more-straight-talking-how-reform-uk-is-picking-up-support-in-wales

“Crossing Gwent Square on a cold, crisp day in Cwmbran, married couple Maxine and David Griffin have more in common with each other than they did a year ago.

In July, the Brexit supporters voted for the Reform UK party in the constituency of Torfaen; it was the first time they had both voted for the same party.

Maxine, 52, who works in a cafe, had previously voted Conservative, while her husband, 55, a postal worker and union representative, had always voted Labour.

Lack of faith in politics is a running theme among the voters the Guardian interviewed; the vast majority said they would not vote for any party.

But of those who would vote, Reform UK supporters were easy to find.

A poll by Survation, commissioned by Reform UK, put the party at 20% in a Senedd election – ahead of the Conservatives at 17%, but behind Labour at 30%.

A separate unaffiliated poll by Opinium, which was based on Westminster voting intentions, suggested 26% of voters in Wales would vote Reform compared with 24% who would vote Labour…“

[Guardian]

Worth reading, not least because a similar trend may be seen in England as well.

News from the migration invasion

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/nov/26/final-asylum-seekers-have-now-left-the-bibby-stockholm

“Final asylum seekers have now left the Bibby Stockholm

Most claims from 400 men on vessel moored in Portland, Dorset have been processed, with majority accepted.

A Home Office team has been processing claims from the 400 men housed on the boat. A significant majority are understood to have been granted asylum and most are expected to leave the area for accommodation elsewhere. About eight were left on the vessel when the final residents departed on Tuesday.

The local council has said that none of the men moved from the vessel will be based in other accommodation in Dorset, with reports saying they are likely to be moved to other areas including Cardiff and Wolverhampton.“

[Guardian]

So there it is. Exactly what I predicted would happen not only in relation to that barge, but also in relation to the invasion as a whole— “processing” (rubberstamping) quietly happening, with about 90% of the “asylum-seekers” allowed to stay in the UK. The rest? Still allowed to stay until removed (which will never happen to the refused individuals, or 90% of them, under System government, as now under Starmer-Labour).

That’s the way Starmer operates— dishonestly, sneakily, and against the interests of the British people. A hateful individual.

In other words, at least 396 of the 400 on that barge will be staying— c.360 because accepted as “genuine” “asylum-seekers”; the other 36 because, though not accepted as genuine even under the UK’s Mickey Mouse immigration laws and rules, they will not be deported. What about the 4 who might be deported (the report implies 8 persons)? Probably willing to go voluntarily, if given a bit of baksheesh and a free ticket.

Incidentally, note in that Guardian report that “a significant majority are understood to have been granted asylum and most are expected to leave the area for accommodation elsewhere“.

So somewhere around 360 or more single men are now going to be given hotel accommodation and, either immediately or before very long, flats or houses that should be going to needy British people. 360 dwelling units.

I don’t want to hear any bs from fake “socialists” about the housing crisis until or unless the same virtue-signallers accept that, without mass immigration, there would be no housing crisis.

“The British Economist counted about 100,000 Ukrainian servicemen killed since the beginning of the SMO . In addition, another 400,000 Ukrainian servicemen were seriously wounded. The publication reports that more than 0.5% of Ukraine’s pre-war male population (18-49 years old) died, and “about 5% were either killed or too wounded to fight.” These losses, expressed as a percentage of the population, exceed the number of US deaths in Vietnam and Korea combined and are approaching the level of World War II, The Economist notes.“

For several decades after the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 (which gave both sides a shock), there were attempts, partly successful, to reduce the risk of nuclear war between East and West. Now, almost exactly 62 years later, that risk not only remains but is increasing almost daily. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis.

[1962 CIA estimation of the range of Soviet missiles to be based in Cuba]

Now imagine the reverse: American missiles based in Ukraine, Poland, and other states around Russia.

The present situation is not good, and is worsening. It may only take the events of a single day to destroy most of Europe as we know it; and the events of the same or a second day to destroy large parts of both Russia and North America.

Israel cannot fight on two or three fronts simultaneously.

Imagine that as U.S. President. What were they thinking?

I seem to remember that, when I was last in Moscow (2007), the rouble was about 20 to the U.S. dollar, maybe 25. OK, so now it is over 100 to the dollar. Only a fifth of the value it held in 2007.

True, but things are not quite as simple as that. Most importantly, most Russian people (like most Americans) either do not travel internationally, or do so only to countries where the local currency is itself weak. I myself recall encountering a Russian family on the Aegean coast of Turkey in 2001. At that time, most tourist Russians went to countries such as Turkey, North Cyprus or, even more popular, the Republic of Cyprus in the south of that island.

Even in 2001, most Russians did not travel beyond the borders of the former Soviet Union. Most, the vast majority, now stay at home.

Likewise, most Russians do not buy any imported goods at all, and so are insulated from price increases caused by the decline in value of the rouble.

Those who are most impacted by the fall in the value of the rouble are the wealthy, very wealthy, “oligarchs” etc. However, many of those people are so wealthy that a fall of 4/5ths of the notional value of their (Russia-based) assets is almost unimportant, they have so much money (as is the case with the oil sheikhs and rulers of the Middle East).

On the macro level, the fall in value means that Russian products and produce are price-competitive internationally. In any case, Russia is now doing much, perhaps most, of its trade with the “BRICS” states, not with the EU or North America etc. Sanctions, of course, apply to much of Russia’s pre-2022 trade with the West.

Pro-Kiev regime tweeters on Twitter/X are crowing at the weakness of the rouble, but the noise simply amplifies their own ignorance.

I appeared as Counsel there once (actually a 3-day trial), in early 1994, when it was still Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court. The courtrooms then were very pleasant pre-WW1 panelled rooms, not at all like the —as I now see— fairly bland UK Supreme Court one.

It was my first (and one of few) Crown Court criminal trials, a “section 18” GBH with intent, which carries a maximum life sentence. My defendant, had he been convicted, would have been sentenced, probably, to 5 or 6 years in those days, he having thrown hot oil over the “victim”, then stabbed him twice with a chef’s knife. Happily for him, he was acquitted on self-defence, a result I had thought was a 50-50 possibility, though the defendant himself was sure that he would be going down, and for several years.

I remember it well, not least because a friend at the Bar (who already had a good criminal practice) later remarked, on being told by me that I had done my first full Crown Court trial, resulting in acquittal, “oh, so you got him off?!“, to which I replied, modestly, “well, he got off…“, to which his rejoinder was “no, don’t put yourself down.” Kind words. Actually, I think I did OK, in a rather green sort of way…

Parliamentary petition

It continues to run: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700143.

Now on 2.8M signatures. It will have no direct effect, and Starmer may well even weasel out of a debate but, from the wider political point of view, it underlines the unpopularity of this ridiculous and nasty “Labour” government.

No need to be “mystified“. There is a transnational conspiracy to import blacks and browns into Europe, especially, arguably, into the UK. The idea was formulated by an evildoer called Coudenhove-Kalergi, and the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan has as its aim the extermination of white Europeans, and their replacement by a mixed white/black/brown population, to be ruled over by Jewish and part-Jewish persons: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_von_Coudenhove-Kalergi.

Wikipedia may call the belief that the Plan exists, “debunked“, but you have to bear in mind that the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby has a whole programme going to vandalize Wikipedia. The malicious so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] even advertized on its website a few years ago for volunteers with Wikipedia accounts to “edit” (vandalize, change for socio-political reasons) Wikipedia.

Look at the UK Prime Ministers of recent years. “Boris” Johnson, part-European, part-Jew, part Circassian Turk. Theresa May, part-Jewish. David Cameron-Levita, mixed European and Jewish. Look at the recent Conservative Party leadership election. Main candidates who were part-Jewish (Tugendhat), African (Kemi Badenoch), probably European/British but married to a Jewish spouse (Jenrick), mixed European/African (Cleverly). All members of Conservative Friends of Israel.

Indeed, look at Starmer: European (Brit) but married to a Jewish woman; all his Cabinet are members of Labour Friends of Israel.

As to the TV ads promoting mixed-race families etc, I wrote about that on the blog years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/10/tv-ads-and-soaps-are-the-propaganda-preferred-by-the-system-in-the-uk/.

The fact is that TV ads of that sort are basically socio-political propaganda; the selling of products is, in reality, secondary. Some companies as good as admit the fact. Look at the recent Jaguar car ad.

Another point is that such ads are not aimed at people of my age (68), or those of 50, 40, or even 30. They are aimed at younger people, and indeed at children, whose critical faculties are unformed, and who, seeing such ads, will come to see (or so the propagandists believe) racial-mixing, and production of mixed-race children, as normal.

The human cost of war, perhaps, but is this really a “war”? More like the sadistic crushing of a civilian population by a huge and mechanized machine of destruction. The Gazan civilians are almost defenceless.
