Egregious political chancer George Galloway saying that he is not “antisemitic” because, inter alia, when he was working undercover as a pro-ANC agent in South Africa in the 1980s, Jews were those who provided him with cars, overnight accommodation (and cash?) etc.

At that time, Galloway was General Secretary of War on Want, a supposed charity partly funded (then, though not now, I think) by the British taxpayer. It gets EU monies as well.

Galloway got into trouble over his expenses. He was cleared of actually stealing (embezzling), apparently, but all the same had to repay nearly £2,000 (worth maybe £10,000-£20,000 now). He never sued over allegations in the Daily Mirror that he had been enjoying “a life of luxury” at the expense of War on Want’s donors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway#War_on_Want.

The point Nick Griffin is making, and justly so, is that Jews are always behind any attacks on white Northern European culture and politics. There they were in South Africa, the Jews, making money, living in large numbers in the most expensive parts of Cape Town and Johannesburg (to the extent that white people in Africa used to call “Jo’burg”, “Jewburg“!), yet at the same time undermining the whole foundation of that society.

Now look at the UK, France, Germany, Scandinavia, USA, Canada, Australia etc…

As for Galloway, how pathetic is it that he, and many like him who are self-describing “Left” or “socialist” types, oppose Jewish hegemony and supremacism in Palestine, yet pay lip-service to Jews and the Jewish “community” in the UK, France etc? Truly pathetic.

On the pseudo-nationalist side of UK politics (as in the USA) you get people, especially those trying to make a living out of their activities, who loudly proclaim their (usually unwanted) allegiance to the Jews and Israel: Katie Hopkins, Breitbart, “Prison Planet” Watson, “Tommy Robinson” (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), Anne Marie Waters, Jayda Fransen, “Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin) and others.

Politically-speaking, and in fact usually in general, foolish people. They are political nullities, dependent for their income —and such prominence as they have— on their social media profile. If that is taken away, they have nothing left.

Before the political midgets currently “ruling” the UK “defy” China in the South China Sea, they should take a look (Wikipedia has overviews) at the relative strengths of the Royal Navy of the UK, as against the Chinese navy. Britain has about 2 or 3 dozen large ships and submarines, and about 170 naval aircraft. The Chinese have some 600 ships and a similar number of naval aircraft. I suppose the idea is that the UK will be a poodle for American power, again…

The absurd irony is that, while Britain is undertaking gestures of the above sort, Chine people are flooding into the UK. Take a look at any British city. Boris-idiot has also invited up to 6 MILLION Hong Kong Chinese to live here.

Yes, they may be, some of them, anti-Peking. Don’t place too much reliance on that. Anyway, the numbers are huge, and will change our whole society.

Law Commission report on proposed changes to the law on communications offences

Click to access Modernising-Communications-Offences-2021-Law-Com-No-399.pdf

“The new “harm-based” communications offence
1.33 The offence that we recommend should replace section 127(1) of the CA 2003 and
the MCA 1988 is an offence based on a communication’s potential for harm rather
than on its content fitting within a proscribed category (such as “grossly offensive” or
“indecent” content). Specifically, we recommend that it should be an offence for a
person to send or post a communication (letter, electronic communication, or “article”,
in the sense of “object”) that is likely to cause harm to a likely audience, intending that
harm be caused to that likely audience. “Harm” for this purpose is defined as
psychological harm amounting to at least serious distress.


1.34 This moves the focus away from broad categories of wrongful content, as we see in
the current offences, to a more context-specific analysis: given those who were likely
to see the communication, was harm likely or not likely? This formulation therefore
ensures that, first, communications that are genuinely harmful do not escape criminal
sanction merely because they cannot fit within one of the proscribed categories.
Secondly, communications that lack the potential for harm are not criminalised merely
because they might be described as grossly offensive or indecent etc.

1.36 The fault element for our recommended offence is set at a higher level of culpability
than is the case under the current law: the defendant must intend to cause serious
distress. Under section 127(1) CA 2003, the defendant need only have intended to
have sent the communication of the proscribed character (ie they need not have
intended any particular result). The MCA 1988 offence requires proof that the
defendant intended to cause alarm or distress, which is the same fault element as
harassment (but, notably, harassment requires a course of conduct, whereas the
communications offence is complete at the point of sending a single communication).
Our threshold is higher; it requires proof that the defendant intended to cause
psychological harm amounting at least to serious distress.” [Law Commission report]

I have not yet read the full report, but what I have read so far seems to be (and could hardly not be) an improvement on the existing Communications Act 2003, s.127, which has been abused for years by Jew-Zionist cabals. notably the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (fake charity) crowd.

I contributed (as a member of the public) to that report. What effect (if any) my contribution had, I have no idea. No matter. “The stars in their courses fight on the side of the just” [Chinese proverb].

I have noticed the same phenomena, more or less, at the Waitrose (the only fairly close local supermarket), a mile or two from my home. I was there yesterday. No-one wearing latex gloves, but 90% or more masked, and I even saw one idiot wearing a helmet with a visor, as though Ebola virus was about, rather than Covid-19 (which has killed about one in every thousand people in the UK, and a far smaller proportion where I live). Different ages, but the vast majority at least of retirement age, reflecting the age-demographic locally (and especially true of local Waitrose shoppers).

Introduce that tyrant to Madame Guillotine.

The history of the middle and late 20thC would have been very different had that come to pass.

The noise around the recent Batley and Spen by-election has continued, with the msm doing its best to pretend that there is still a functioning two/three-party “democracy” now that “Labour is back”.

Fakery. Labour is not back. Kim Leadbeater, the monkey-on-a-stick “Labour” candidate, won the by-election mainly for local reasons and because most white English voters (white people being 75% to 80% of the electorate), did not vote.

Turnout was below 50%. Most of the Pakistani and other ethnic minority voters at Batley voted (based on previous evidence). That means that well under half the white English voters did not vote. Reason? Probably because there was no party with any credibility that spoke to them.

It seems that the Muslim vote was split between Galloway and its traditional home, Labour, with most going to Galloway. The white English vote was split mainly between Conservative and Labour.

The decision might easily have gone the other way. It did not, mainly, because the Conservatives did not want to mount a real attack, direct attack, on Kim Leadbeater. They should have done. She deserved it. She was a entirely fake or puppet candidate, who was only there because Labour broke its own rules to adopt her. Her links to various (and to my mind) subversive communitarian groups should have been exposed. Her evasion re. the persecuted Batley schoolteacher should have been attacked (but the Conservatives also failed to speak up for him).

In the end, the Conservative candidate was also a puppet, like so many. Had he had more courage, and more independence, he might have won. Now he is just a footnote.

Labour will inevitably bump along the bottom. It has now been abandoned by most white English voters. Now that Labour is very clearly controlled again by the Jewish Zionist element, not many Muslims will continue to vote Labour. As I have said before, that leaves Labour with a very niche electorate.

There is also the point that, with no election needing to be held before late 2024, Labour is little more than an irrelevant squeaking in a Commons with an 80-seat Conservative majority.

Beyond the above, there is the feeling that Labour has no idea at all about how to improve Britain. It scarcely if at all opposes the present government. Indeed, all it has is pathetic, not credible, “diversity” claptrap of the sort that Kim Leadbeater spouts.

That person, Laura Pidcock, was once “tipped as a future leader of the Labour Party” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Pidcock]! She seems to be not-married to a non-European, possibly Ethiopian, and to have produced a child with him. She is on the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party. Seems pretty dimwitted.

Laura Pidcock was a local councillor, but lost her seat. She was also an MP for two years [2017-2019] but lost her seat. Labour, take note. Many more will follow in her anti-British, “anti-racist”, footsteps.

One could imagine a (presently non-existent) credible social-national party standing at somewhere like Batley and Spen, and getting, say, a third or so of mainly the white English vote, maybe 30% of the whole turnout. Under those circumstances, in a 4-horse race, such a party might have triumphed over Lab, Con, and Galloway…

My takeaway from Batley and Spen is that, looking at the past decade, white people are generally now not voting Labour, but are unsure as to where to go; also, that the Muslims are drifting from Labour, but are also unsure about where to go, and so voted in this case for Galloway.

Well, this week, political journalist John Rentoul scored the same as me, 7/10. I suppose I should not expect to beat him every week. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 4, and 6.

I wonder whether Kim Leadbeater, the System candidate, really won that by-election at all…incidentally, that may also explain why there was no real Conservative Party campaign at Batley and Spen— to ensure that Labour won.

The System made much of the assassination of MP Jo Cox by a dissident in 2016. The later “canonization” was very useful to the System, providing much opportunity for “anti-Nazi”, “anti-racist”, anti-radical propaganda. It would have been embarrassing had the sister of the assassinated MP been offered to the local electorate as the new Labour/System MP— then rejected by them.

The migration invasion continues. Meanwhile, the British people occupy themselves with the success of what is laughingly called the “England” football team, with the squabbles between the two thick princelings, the Royal Mulatta and “Kate”, with the Queen driving a LandRover at age 95, with the (ultimately fairly meaningless) “election” (was it even honest?) of Kim Leadbeater as MP, with the endless “panicdemic” nonsense, as seen through the prism of msm/System lies.

Remember Thalidomide? This, true, is something very different, but there may be other dangers. Or, thinking laterally, maybe the point is not the vaccine as vaccine, but the psychological control: governments across the world forcing citizens to be vaccinated. A conditioning mechanism.

What kind of unit is that?

Late tweets

Despite the efforts of Lord Sumption, Peter Hitchen, many others including me, there are many many idiotic scared rabbits out there who, just because (arguably) the least honest Prime Minister, the least competent Cabinet, the least reliable scientific advisers in memory have told them to wear facemasks, are going to bloody carry on wearing them until given permission to stop! Even where the law does not even mandate the wearing of the “muzzles of compliance”.

Example: driving around in early evening a day or two ago, I saw a man aged maybe 55 or so, riding a bicycle while wearing a facemask! Why? The “law”, the absurd” rules”, the equally absurd “guidance” from misnamed “SAGE” “experts”, say nothing about wearing facemasks while cycling, so why was this idiot doing it? Some personal pathology? It cannot have been because he wanted to comply with law but mistook the law, because there is no law saying that you must wear one of these stupid masks while cycling. Also, he was riding on a pavement.

Now we have the same old voices, Whitty etc, trying to keep the facemask nonsense going after 19 July 2021, the latest supposed “Freedom Day”. There is a huge transnational conspiracy behind most of this.

Diary Blog, 2 July 2021, including thoughts about Batley and Spen, and about the “panicdemic” as brainwashing

1 Comment

Batley and Spen by-election

The result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batley_and_Spen_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

My feeling was that Labour would lose, and quite possibly come third. I was not correct. Labour won narrowly or, as they say on the racecourse, “by a neck, cleverly”.

Labour got a vote-share of 35.3%. The Conservative candidate got 34.4%. George Galloway, under the banner of the Workers’ Party, did better than many expected (21.9%); I got that right, at least.

All other candidates, 13 in number, lost their deposits: LibDems 3.3%; Yorkshire Party 2.2%; 10 of the other 11 received vote-shares below half of one percent each. UKIP, on 0.4%, just beat the Monster Raving Loony (0.3%).

The English Democrats, whose candidate, Therese Hirst, wrote to my blog comments page to request a mention on this blog, came 6th, with 0.55%.

The small and supposedly “nationalist” parties were, as expected, an embarrassment.

The For Britain party leader, Anne Marie Waters, got 0.3% (97 votes). Jayda Fransen did even worse, though (like Ms. Waters) on a par with her previous forays into doomed electioneering: 0.1% (50 votes). [nb. percentages approximate].

So where to start? Firstly, by noting that the Labour Party’s winning candidate, on 35.3%, not only did worse than any previous Labour candidate in the constituency but also worse than the winning Conservative Party candidate in the first election held for the seat, in 1983 (39.6%).

Leaving aside the rigged 2016 by-election, Labour has gone down steadily in the constituency since 2017: 55.5%, 42.7%, 35.3%.

This does not somehow “save Labour”. The present Government still has a Commons majority of 80, and could in theory be in place until December 2024. Labour still has very little likelihood of being able to form even a minority government after that time. If Scotland were to pull away from the UK, Labour would be in permanent and declining Opposition; even without that, Labour has no future as a party of government.

Other points: Labour and Kim Leadbeater ran a very dishonest campaign, even delivering contradictory leaflets to different streets (depending on the race/nationality of the inhabitants). She evaded the issue of the schoolteacher driven from his home and job by Islamist zealots, for example.

The new MP is already on BBC Radio 4 Today Programme yapping about “people living side by side“, diversity etc etc. Another puppet MP. Useless for the people who elected her.

As for Batley’s chances of getting central government assistance now, forget it. The locals must be a pretty stupid lot. They have elected a communitarian drone whose economic knowledge stops at spouting nonsense about “magic money trees”…

The Conservatives ran a lily-livered campaign, which seemed cunning but ultimately fell flat. The candidate deliberately shunned publicity (I thought, though I am judging from hundreds of miles away). The noise was all about Kim Leadbeater and George Galloway.

I thought that Galloway might get more than 20%, and I was right in that. 21.9%. He must be pleased with such a result.

As far as social nationalism is concerned, there was no social-national candidate, just absurd one-trick-pony candidates playing at politics. Anne Marie Waters and, even less credible, Jayda Fransen.

Labour continues to be the party of, mainly, the blacks and browns, publicly-paid employees and a few other groups. It is less than ever the party of (most of) the white English.

Other points? Well, the pathetic LibDem result was par for the course. Since the 2010 upsurge, the LibDems have lost their deposits in all Westminster elections contested by them at Batley and Spen.

Turnout, at 47.6%, was not especially low for a by-election.

About 73% of those who voted, voted for a System party. Over half of those eligible to vote abstained from voting. So about two-thirds of the entire eligible electorate either voted non-System, or decided not to vote at all.

A tweet which shows not only how out of touch many Twitter-twits are (where has she been since 2010? Was she in outer space in 2019?), but how mutually-isolated are different socio-political “tribes” in the UK.

Good point. Until the seat is abolished, the Batley and Spen electorate will be represented at Parliament by a communitarian System drone with not an interesting or original thought in her head, dragging down £200,000 p.a. in pay and expenses, and accomplishing nothing, while the voters of Batley moulder in poverty and despair.

Political joke Paul Mason opines…in fact, he is right about the two “leaders” that he mentions in his tweet. Social nationalism in terms of electoral politics is scarcely even a bad joke; The two ladies together got only 147 votes at the Batley and Spen by-election, scarcely 0.3% of the total vote. One vote for about every 300 cast. Embarrassing.

Mason is not right about “terror networks” of what he would call, no doubt, “the far right”. They do not even exist, as far as I know anyway. Young men buying samurai swords, young women having swastika-shaped cookie-cutters, and people talking big in pubs, do not constitute a “terror threat”…

As for Mason’s “danger…online“, what he means is that people might be able to persuade other people to a certain viewpoint online. Mason hates free speech, so calls that a “danger”…

“John Smith” gives an accurate, if ungrammatical, riposte to sex pest communitarian grasper Brendan Cox, who thinks that it is worth trashing the UK if a few blacks become England-team footballers.

The “panicdemic” is such an exercise in applied psychology that dictators, oppressive political regimes, and academic scribblers will probably be using its lessons for decades, and maybe for hundreds of years, rather like the 20thC Chinese techniques called (I believe) hsi nao, or “wash brain”, taken up by the West since the Korean War as “brainwashing”: see the 1963 book, Techniques of Persuasion, by J.A.C. Brown. I once had a copy, bought by me at my school book fair in, I think, 1971.

[the first paperback edition]

Such techniques were intriguing to film-makers, and have continued to be. Early examples would include The Manchurian Candidate and The Ipcress File.

Those films focussed on individual subjects, but there is of course “brainwashing” or, more accurately, “conditioning”, of whole masses of people, whether at schools (Eton might be a good example), or during Army training, to take two obvious situations.

Recent studies have concluded that, if people are exposed to fear propaganda for months, they lose the ability to resist it even if logical, rational and credible counter-messages are then delivered to them. Put simply, emotion trumps thought, usually.

Think back to the initial panic about “the virus”, in early Spring, 2020. TV news showing shuttered towns in Italy and elsewhere, the population only allowed to take walks alone or as couples, not interacting with others at all. Curfews. Harsh methods of enforcement (particularly in the part of China where the virus supposedly just appeared as if out of nowhere).

In the UK, we have seen how even the shambolic government regime presided over by Boris-idiot applied ever-stricter laws, “rules”, “guidance” etc (which the police enforced as if all had the force of law).

Police chiefs wanting to check people’s shopping to see whether the items had been “reasonable” purchases! That caused a kefuffle because the regime had tried to impose such repression too early, before the fear propaganda had fully taken hold.

Other examples included police vandalizing beauty spots in the Peak District lest people walk to them, other police (the hopeless police of Derbyshire were arguably the worst) using drones and loudhailers to bully elderly couples walking on the hills, miles from anywhere; in Wales, some farmer and his wife, hysterical (and again calling police) because two people from elsewhere were camping overnight on a nearby hill! “They might spread Covid!“, the pathetic idiots cried and whined (to the newspaper and TV reporters who were, unmolested, also there!).

Shops and other businesses were closed down for months, the employees’ anger largely forestalled or bought off by “furlough” payments. Result: the UK has spent £300 BILLION.

It is said “no matter, interest rates are almost zero”. In that case, why did the UK governments of the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, and “Boris” Johnson apply so-called “austerity” for a decade, causing a huge amount of misery, in order to “save” far less than the sums now wasted for no good reason? Why was a huge investment in infrastructure not undertaken? Instead, vast amounts have been spent on paying the population to sit at home eating delivered pizza, watching TV, and drinking.

Then came the facemask nonsense. Large-scale trials which showed that facemasks (except the kind used in laboratories) were of minimal utility (and also caused other health problems) were ignored. The Government mandated facemasks (often little more than cloth muzzles or quasi-scarfs) in shops etc. Mandated them on pain of a heavy fine.

At first, up to mid-2020, both the UK Government and the World Health Organization [WHO] disparaged the use of facemasks, but later came under political pressure to change their advice, which is what happened.

The World Economic Forum [WEF] openly proclaimed how wonderful the “panicdemic” was as a driver to start a “Great Reset” of the world.

Well, now we are 18 months on, and the UK public, at least the majority, have shown themselves to be malleable pawns, without any regard for the freedoms won over centuries. One sees many wearing their facemasks even in their own cars, or while walking on windswept clifftops etc. Do they know that they have been brainwashed? Do they even care?

I think that it was the popular music group, Pink Floyd, in the early 1970s, maybe on Dark Side of the Moon, who had a track in which they sang that “…quiet desperation is the English way“. That might have to be changed, these days, to something like “spineless compliance, and apathy, is the English way”…

Meanwhile, we hear that 50,000 or 60,000 people have died in the UK “within 28 days of a positive test” (until recently, it was “from Covid”…), though (what a shock…) apparently no-one at all has died of flu for 18 months in the UK! Incidentally, if someone “tests positive” (often because the tests are flawed), even if having no symptoms, then weeks later dies in a car crash…yes, that’s right…that person “dies within 28 days of a positive test”!

The brainwashed nature of the population can be seen in the relative lack of anger or even questioning at the incongruity. Suddenly, instead of tens of thousands of deaths from influenza etc, there is substituted “deaths from Covid”, but most people are still, even now, obeying the so-called “laws”, “rules” etc. Even though their rational minds must know that this is a kind of scam on a vast scale.

Again, every day now we are seeing such as “today, 20,000 people tested positive”, followed by “and three people died within 28 days…(etc)”

In the UK, the msm has been totally compliant to the wishes of the State. In the msm and the “corridors of power”, only a few independent minds have stood up against the propaganda lies. Peter Hitchens [on Twitter as @clarkemicah] was one. Former Law Lord, Jonathan Sumption, was another. See https://twitter.com/SumptionUpdates.

About 1 out of 1,000 in the UK has died supposedly “of” or “with” or “within 28 days of a test”. Some people claim, speciously, 1 out of 500. Even so, this was never a nation-breaking pandemic. In the wider world, about 1 person has died out of every 4,000 people.

Inmates at the American concentration camp at Guantanamo were forced to wear facemasks nearly 20 years ago. To break them, not to save them from infection. Think about it.

[prisoners at the United States concentration camp, Guantanamo Bay, with female guard]
[muzzled prisoners at US concentration camp, Guantanamo Bay, forced by American concentration camp guards to kneel, heavily-clothed, in tropical heat; the true face of NWO/ZOG]

We are facing an attempt, starting in 2022, to implement a new stage of the New World Order conspiracy. Various campaigns are part of that: Covid-19 “measures”, “Black Lives Matter” nonsense, fake “environmental” measures, “anti-racism” campaigns etc.

Diary Blog, 1 July 2021, including Polling Day at the Batley and Spen by-election

1 Comment

Batley and Spen

So here we are. Polling Day at Batley and Spen.

It is worth remembering that, whatever opinion polling says, whatever the bookmakers and so the (nationwide) betting public say, whatever the pundits say, the decision rests with those who stand in the polling booths today (as well as with those who have already cast postal ballots).

My feeling, from a long distance, is still that the Conservative candidate will win. Labour supporters have been pushing out huge numbers of tweets, but one lesson of the past decade is the the Twitter twits are usually wrong about most things, especially the result of elections and referenda, andare far from being in touch with the British people as a whole.

I have already blogged about why I think that Labour will not win and why Labour deserves not to win. It has nothing to say any more, and is not really opposing the Boris-idiot “Conservative” NWO/ZOG regime at all.

As someone put it )with me adding a few words), were the “Conservatives” to reintroduce workhouses, Labour under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer (etc) would say “we agree with the basic policy, but it should be carried out more fairly, more efficiently, as well as while bending the knee to Black Lives Matter nonsense, and also wearing a facemask”…

I saw a Novara Media piece. Interesting to see that Aaron Bastani, hardly on the same page as me ideologically, agrees with my basic diagnosis of Labour’s decline to irrelevance: https://novaramedia.com/2021/06/25/its-only-the-start-george-galloways-bid-for-batley-and-spen-could-leave-starmer-staring-into-the-abyss/

Assuming that the Conservative candidate wins the by-election (if so, largely by default), will Labour come second, or fall to third place. The pundits say that the probability is that Labour will find that second place, but I am unsure. My feeling is that Galloway might manage to beat Labor to that second position. As I have blogged, at first I thought that Galloway might only get 4%, maybe 5%, but soo realized that he was going to do better. How much better must still be uncertain. 10%? 20%?

It is not impossible that, if the Conservative candidate gets, say, 45%, and a host of minor candidates get a total of about 15%, that Labour and Galloway might each be around the 20% mark.

As I wrote yesterday, I do not care who wins Batley and Spen so long as Labour loses.

Strange that some Starmer-Labour zealots think that it would make a difference to have Kim Leadbeater elected. If she is, Boris Johnson will still have a 80-seat Commons majority! If she is not elected, an 81-seat majority. Kim Leadbeater, who is in any case a pretty silly, uneducated, ignorant woman (from what I have seen of her online and on TV), can have no positive effect for the voters of Batley and Spen.

Batley and Spen would be better, objectively, either voting for Galloway, who will put the area in the spotlight, or electing the Conservative, if only because Government might listen to him, thus directing some investment or other help Batley’s way.

The experience of recent years indicates caution in accepting the betting market as a good forecaster of elections and referenda, but the odds are certainly strongly in favour of the Conservative Party. As for Labour v. Galloway, the result may be closer than the bettig odds seem to show.

Labour, as it now is, is totally toxic. Its silly but sincere leader, Corbyn, was ousted by a huge Israeli and “British” Jewish-lobby operation, one which eventually succeeded in installing Keir Starmer, a complete doormat for that lobby, and who has a Jewish wife and children who are actually being brought up as if fully-Jewish. This is the person who wants to be Prime Minister!

That operation also resulted in all the pseudo-Labour pro-Israel MPs getting promoted to the Shadow Cabinet and/or to other positions: Rachel Reeves, Lisa Nandy, Anneliese Dodds, even stupid Nia Griffith.

This is Neil Coyle: https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/neil-coyle-apologises-for-foul-mouthed-twitter-rant-over-rule-britannia-debate/; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Coyle#Brexit_and_Piers_Morgan.

Completely unfit for any public office. His Wikipedia entry (perhaps inexhaustive) indicates that his sole “job” before becoming a MP at age 39 was as a local councillor in South London (elected at age 32): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Coyle#Early_life_and_education.

This is the sort of blot who becomes an MP for the System parties these days.

Even some Jews speak against Israeli Zionist ethnic cleansing. For the victims, there will be no memorial (such as the “holocaust” visitor attraction Keir Starmer and Labour support being built next to the Palace of Westminster).

The opinion polling just above shows how out of touch the Labour Party is.

Various factions in the Labour Party assume that Labour as a party, as a major party, will continue indefinitely. That is not how history works.

The old Liberal Party provides a British example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_(UK). At peak, in 1906, the Liberals had 398 MPs out of 670. That declined to 6 (out of 630) by the 1950s; despite “revivals”, the Liberals never again had more than 17 MPs (out of 650). Later the Liberal Democrats (inc. the short-lived SDP) took up the flag, but to limited success. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_(UK)#Electoral_performance

Society moved on, and politics with it. Again, the old Soviet Communist Party (CPSU) once ruled unchallenged. Now peripheral.

As I have repeatedly blogged, there is no place for Labour as a major party. It ditched any pretence at “socialism” after 1989, kept a “social democratic” figleaf during the Blair-Brown years, tried to recapture a “socialist” edge under Corbyn (which was partly but not very successful, and was then undermined by the Jewish Zionists and their non-Jew supporters and doormats in and outside the Parliamentary Labour Party). Now, Labour has become all but irrelevant.

The result is that Labour now has no ideology, no real identity, no real nationalism or even vague patriotism, and has become a party for the “blacks and browns”, some public service employees, some academics and students perhaps. Worse yet for Labour, the Muslim near-bloc vote is now defecting because Muslims have realized that Labour is now again completely under Jewish-Zionist control and/or influence.

Labour lost Scotland quite suddenly, in 2015. The result of years of taking the voters for granted. 46 MPs in 2010 became 1 MP in 2015.

“Scottish Labour (Scottish Gaelic: Pàrtaidh Làbarach na h-Alba; officially the Scottish Labour Party) is a social democratic political party in Scotland. It is an autonomous section of the UK Labour Party. From a high of holding 56 of the 129 seats at the first Scottish parliament election in 1999, the Party has declined each election until getting just 22 MSPs elected at the 2021 election. The party currently holds one[7] of 59 Scottish seats in the UK House of Commons.” [Wikipedia].

Remember that smug little idiot, Jim Murphy? Was a university student for about 12 years but left without a degree! People (msm drones) even talked of him as a possible Prime Minister of the UK at one time! Now? Just one of Tony Blair’s salaried gophers…

“After the disastrous results for Scottish Labour at the 2015 general election, Murphy set up a consultancy and became an advisor to the Finnish non-profit Crisis Management Initiative (CMI), advising on “conflict resolution in central Asia”.[94][95][96]

“In November 2016, Murphy took up an employed position as an adviser to former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.[97][98]“

“In August 2018, Murphy paid for a full-page advert in the Jewish Telegraph in which he criticised Jeremy Corbyn for what he claimed was the party’s failure to root out anti-semitism. The article, which appeared on page three of the paper under the headline “In sorrow and anger – an apology”, accused Corbyn and his top team of being “intellectually arrogant, emotionally inept and politically maladroit”.” [Wikipedia] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Murphy.

He paid? Did he?…Ha. I wonder. He seems to be too much of a near-fraudulent moneygrubber to lay out large amounts of his own money…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Murphy#Expenses].

Apart from that, Murphy accused Corbyn as being “intellectually arrogant, emotionally inept and politically maladroit“! Well, leaving Corbyn’s flaws aside, look who’s talking! Ha ha! Comedy gold.

That Natasa Pantelic, above, was the Labour candidate at the recent Chesham and Amersham by-election. She received 1.6% of the vote and came 4th.

Most of those “Labour canvassers” look like old Jews. Certainly fairly old, older than me (64), anyway… Since the departure of Corbyn, the young seem to have abandoned Labour. Without the whites, the Mulsim browns, and the young, Labour will soon be seriously struggling to remain a major party.

Jesus H. Christ! Kim Leadbeater, the “Labour” (for the past few weeks) candidate, is even thicker, and even less honest, than I had thought! Pumping out shite…Absolute shite. Common Purpose, “diversity”, multikulti shite!

Did she take any interest in the abused English girls in that part of the world? Come to think of it, did her sister, Jo Cox? I somehow doubt it.

Where can I buy a box of eggs? (only joking—TM Jo Brand…): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/06/16/__trashed/

If that is “corruption”, it is hardly new! After all, what was nationalized industry from, say, 1950 or 1955 up to the 1980s? Nothing more really than a long-term bribe to miners, steelworkers, railwaymen, and many others. Same goes for “subsidies” to farmers. Come to that, even the Bolsheviks in 1917 promised “land and bread”…

In fact, if the voters of Batley and Spen think that the Government will favour areas with Conservative MPs (and that is probably correct), then what incentive is there to vote for the Labour candidate, who seems both dishonest and stupid, and who herself has no long allegiance to her new party anyway? She only joined “5 minutes” ago… She cannot help the voters of that area in the slightest.

So “decent” that she was unwilling to support the teacher driven out by Islamist extremists? So “decent” that she has said nothing about the abused girls in Yorkshire? So “decent” that she says nothing against migration invasion?

Let’s imagine that a party started which had reasonable social and economic policies, including national ownership of major utilities, a vibrant private economic sector, removal of disproportionate influence (and capital) from a (((certain))) part of the population, fair laws justly enforced, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and Britain and its people put first. That and, also, concern for the green and pleasant land. Oh, and an end to migration invasion; an ethnostate. That really would interest the British people, whether you call such a party “Labour”, “Conservative”, or social nationalism…

Normally, de mortuis nihil nisi bonum, but in this case Griffin is certainly correct. Rumsfeld was never punished on Earth…

…and that attitude shown by would-be MP Kim Leadbeater is exactly why Labour turned a blind eye to the rape of thousands of poor white girls by Pakistani (mostly) Muslims. Jo Cox was no different, I think.

To my mind, Kim Leadbeater has nothing to offer the Batley and Spen voters. Political experience— near-zero. Educational level— low. Moral courage— low, looking at how she refused to condemn the hounding of the Batley teacher, the Zionist influence over Labour, the rape of the abused white girls etc. She also ran away from hecklers (despite having an entourage) and refused to debate with George Galloway and others at a hustings.

Well, it is near 2000 hours, so I suppose that we shall soon have a better idea of which particular one of the “dirty democratic politicians” (as Hitler put it) will be soon sworn in as MP for Batley and Spen.

Apart from that, “voting for change” is meaningless at a by-election which will result in the Government either having a Commons majority of 80 or a Commons majority of 81, and no general election in sight for years, probably (maybe only in 2024). That’s assuming “Labour” were capable of delivering useful change anyway (I think not).

Batley and Spen

I continue to update my blog post about the upcoming Batley and Spen by-election: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/06/04/the-batley-and-spen-by-election-2021/. Polling day is tomorrow.

I saw this interesting video report by former Labour MP (expelled from the Labour Party by the Jewish-lobby cabal now in charge), Chris Williamson:

Tweets seen

Kim Leadbeater is a laughably-poor candidate even by today’s low standards.

Funny to see decorative BBC presenter Martine Croxall put in her place by Galloway. He made the point, inter alia, and which I had not remembered, that boundary changes will mean that the constituency will disappear for the next general election.

As for Ms. Croxall, despite the questions she asked in the interview, and that Galloway thought favoured the Labour Party, if she herself does not habitually vote Conservative, I’ll eat my hat.

The video describes Galloway as “Independent candidate”. Technically, not so. “Workers’ Party”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers_Party_of_Britain.

Ha. Telling…

As a outsider who has never been to the area, I cannot see how electing a silly ignorant woman like Kim Leadbeater could do anything at all for the people of Batley and Spen. She is just a ventriloquist’s dummy yapping about “magic money trees” and “diversity”. She is not even a very good dummy. Dishonest, too.

Exactly. The reason is not “Starmer” (poor leader, and a Jewish-lobby puppet, though he is), still less “Corbyn”, but (as I have blogged repeatedly) because there is now no reason for the Labour Party to exist. What the English people need (but do not consciously know that they both need and want) is social nationalism in a credible and powerful form. It does not presently exist.

The small pseudo-nationalist parties standing at Batley and Spen are not what is required at all. In fact, in most respects, and leaving aside the pro-Islamist element, Galloway’s “Workers’ Party” is closer to credible/powerful social nationalism than is the Anne Marie Waters vehicle “For Britain”, or Jayda Fransen.

Part of the problem is that the Zionist-controlled msm label anything akin to social nationalism as “far right” and/or “neo-Nazi”, which are —more or less— meaningless labels. The public are frightened or offput by such propaganda, of course.

Note that only 2% would not vote Labour because of perceived “anti-Semitism”. 2%. Meaning that 98% of voters are not interested in the Jew-Zionist lobby’s whining. Corbyn did far better than Starmer as Labour leader, despite the basically Jewish-controlled or influenced msm running a 4-year hate campaign against him.

I would go further, and aver that people in the UK would vote for an openly “anti-Semitic” party if it were also anti-Islamist and if, also, its other policies, leadership, and organization were credible and powerful.

As for the by-election at Batley and Spen, even if Labour manages, which I doubt, to retain the seat, that would not change Labour’s long-term strategic decline.

Import backward populations and you import their politics and their social issues. Not just Pakistanis and similar nationalities. Look at the Jews too. Yes, they may send their offspring to Eton, and/or to Oxford or Cambridge…a small but strategically-placed special-interest group.

Reminder of what “New Labour” was…and much of Labour still is

A poster from a few years ago, but Yvette Cooper is still there, still an MP, still getting paid (more now, about £85,000, plus huge expenses); she also grabs more by being Chair of a Commons select committee; and her Bilderberg-attending husband, Ed Balls, also once an MP, is coining money in business. They own buy-to-let properties as well. Parasites.

This is what Labour is…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvette_Cooper; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvette_Cooper#Allegations_over_expenses; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Balls#Controversies.

Oh, and she still supports importation of as many blacks and browns as possible, and has even said that British families should welcome the invaders into their homes (though she and Balls have three homes and numerous rental properties yet have not asked any migrant invaders to stay as their guests…).

Oh…nearly forgot: Yvette Cooper is yet another Labour Friends of Israel member, just like Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Lisa Nandy etc…

Typical of what Labour now is…i.e. a pack of parasites and hypocrites.

Starmer has said quite openly that he puts Israel first, before the people of the UK. He has said that he supports Zionism without qualification. Israel is a state founded on terrorism, deceit, ethnic cleansing etc. It is a rogue state. It buys or otherwise suborns politicians in countries such as France, the UK, USA etc.

Below, former Labour MP, Joan Ryan, hearing from Israeli intelligence official, Shai Masot, about how he has a one-million-pound slush fund from Israel, in order to buy British MPs:

Anyone, whether at Batley and Spen or elsewhere, thinking of voting Labour, should watch the above videos. True, the Conservative Party is equally infested. More widely, the UK as a whole is infested.

I notice that the bookmakers have the Conservatives even more strongly odds-on than in previous days. About 2/9. Labour is a poor second, around 7/2. As for Galloway, about 14/1. Having said that, betting odds reflect national sentiment. In a discrete and quite small area such as the constituency in question, the contest may look very different.

It may be that I am wrong to think that the result will be Con, Galloway, Lab, in that order, but that is still my feeling.

I notice that social media is awash with tweets from the Labour support machine. Not necessarily relevant.

Do you still support “lockdown(s)”, and the rest of it (facemask nonsense and all)?

Even if (as now) there are tens of thousands of infections but no deaths? Madness.

Batley and Spen

I continue to update my blog post re. the upcoming by-election: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/06/04/the-batley-and-spen-by-election-2021/. 3 days left.

Let’s hope so. While I do not particularly want the “Conservative” to win at Batley, I do want the “Labour” (Labour-label) candidate to lose!

As for lifting “Covid restrictions”, yes! As soon as possible. There never should have been any “lockdown” shutdown, facemask nonsense etc in the first place.

Ah, one Dan Bloom, who apparently is the “online Political Editor” of the Daily Mirror. The proportion of Jewish individuals involved in political reporting and commentating in the UK is very high. Too high.

Kim Leadbeater may be a “local candidate” but she has been co-opted into fronting a Labour Party campaign at Batley and Spen that is controlled by members of Labour Friends of Israel— Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Lisa Nandy etc.

I blogged about political joke, Paul Mason, yesterday. So what if the Conservatives get another seat? They have a Commons majority of 80 anyway! What matters is to hit Starmer and the Labour Friends of Israel cabal which controls the Labour leadership. Voters of Batley should vote anywhere but Labour.

A new party or movement can only arise when the existing System parties, especially Labour, collapse. Start the avalanche!

Quite, though Kim Leadbeater is not really a politician, of course, but just a convenient “monkey on a stick” for a Labour Friends of Israel cabal. Of course she does not understand monetary (or other) policy! As I understand it, she is a former personal trainer who is paid for doing work for the “charity” set up in her deceased sister’s name. If anyone knows facts to the contrary, comment here and I may print the rebuttal.

Batley and Spen should elect an MP with the ability to help the area.

Interesting map

This map shows the proportion of all white pupils as of January 2020 across England, with blues and purples showing higher numbers and oranges and yellows showing lower numbers. In parts of London, there is a greater proportion of non-white pupils than white pupils. Outside of London, there is a greater proportion of white pupils than non-white pupils

London has fallen! Draw a line from southwest of Bristol to the Isle of Wight. That is the redoubt for English people…

That has been increasingly my feeling over the past weeks. Kim Leadbeater, the Labour candidate, is plainly as thick as two short planks, and has quite obviously been drilled to deliver pathetic soundbites such as “there is no magic money tree“. She is one personification of why Labour is going nowhere but down.

Most of the Muslims in the by-election area seem to have all but given up on Labour now that it is back under Jewish-lobby control.

As for the white English voters, who are at least 75% of the electorate, most of them had already given up on Labour even in 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batley_and_Spen_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

If in 2019, Tracy Brabin and Labour only got 42.7%, almost half of that that would have been the Muslim vote. If, in this by-election, most of that Muslim vote disappears to Galloway (or to abstention), that would seem to reduce Labour to a vote-share around 30%. If half of the English former (2019) Labour voters abstain or vote elsewhere, the Labour vote might reduce to around 20%, or less. That might knock Labour into third place.

Having said that, there is still all to play for at Batley and Spen. The Labour candidate still has as ammunition her local roots, the tradition of Labour voting locally, and the sympathy vote around the assassination of her sister (former MP Jo Cox) by a socio-political dissident. I have to say that I myself am sceptical that that sympathy vote even exists, but there it is.

Incidentally, there has been much msm and Twitter noise around the egg attack on Labour leafletters. Has it not occurred to anyone that that may have been locals expressing their opinion of the last thick-as-two-short -planks MP, Tracy Brabin, who was (it seems) one of those attacked? She seems to be unpopular up there, perhaps because she stepped down as MP as soon as she got a job with more money…

Neither of the tweeters above are quite right, as the record shows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batley_and_Spen_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

Leaving aside the rigged 2016 by-election, in which “Labour” was the only major (i.e. System) party standing, it can be seen that the Labour vote rose in 2017 to 55.5%, compared to only 43.2% when Jo Cox was the candidate in 2015.

In 2019, the Labour vote fell back to 42.7%, but that was still in the same region as the 43.2% Jo Cox managed, or her predecessor, Mike Wood, whose last vote, in 2010, was only 41.5%.

Yes, the betting market only gets election results right about half of the time. Labour is now between 7/2 and 4/1 against, but the Conservatives are 1/4 on…very firm favourites. The result is not completely certain, so I should say that that odds-on offer is not a value bet. I myself would not bet on Labour winning, but 4/1 might yet be a value bet for anyone willing to risk a little money.

French news

“In an interview on CNews, General Dominique Delawarde alluded to a group of people who control the global media.

When the Jewish interviewer asked who he was referring to, General Delawarde said: “This is the community that you know well.”

Although the general did not mention the Jewish community explicitly, the host of the show, Jean-Marc Morandini, abruptly cut him off and ended the interview segment.

The Paris prosecutor’s office has begun an investigation into General Delawarde, stating: “The Paris prosecutor’s office today opened an investigation into the heads of public defamation and incitement to hatred and violence on the grounds of origin or belonging to an ethnic group, nation, race or religion.””

So one brief allusion to Jews controlling the global mass media, not even saying it outright…and a distinguished senior officer has his interview cut short by a Jewish interviewer, and the powerful Jewish/Israel lobby in Paris starts to have the officer persecuted by —and quite likely later prosecuted by— State (((prosecutors))).

Jews in Europe are concentrated in and around a few large cities: Paris (the largest grouping), London and, in Russia, Moscow [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_population_by_country#Jewish_population_by_city].

Why are UK schoolteachers often so ignorant?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9732119/Boy-11-told-class-wanted-alms-needy-reported-PREVENT.html

“An 11-year-old Muslim schoolboy who told his class that he wanted to give charity to the needy was referred to controversial anti-terrorism watchdog Prevent after his teacher mistook the word ‘alms’ for ‘arms’.” [Daily Mail].

I have to say that I agree with what the Muslim below says about this:

“Attiq Malik, director of Liberty Law Solicitors, told MailOnline: ‘Yet again we see another example of a ‘fail’ by the Government’s Prevent Programme on vulnerable impressionable children, highlighting why the Programme is potentially harmful and needs to be scrapped as it simply does not work.

‘In the current economic climate, teachers are barely equipped properly to carry out their teaching duties, let alone the additional policing duties imposed on them by Prevent. 

‘Criminal legislation and safeguarding policies have always existed to protect the public and the vulnerable members of our society. There is no need for a policy that is nothing less than the equivalent of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut and thus unnecessary.’ 

Mr Malik insists that the Prevent referral could still cause issues for the family, telling the Guardian: ‘Every time a Prevent referral is made, it generates a record with the Home Office and various other intelligence agencies.” [Daily Mail]

The fact that I would rather that no large Muslim populations existed in the UK is a separate matter.

Imagine a “teacher” so ignorant that he or she has never heard of the word “alms”! Sadly, schoolteaching, especially in the State sector, tends to be something in the UK that people do when they can do little else. The standards are often abysmal (as can be seen on TV quiz shows).

As for the “Prevent” nonsense, I wrote about it a few years ago on this blog: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/05/30/one-mans-extremism-is-another-mans-struggle-for-liberty-and-justice/.

“Free speech campaigners including Toby Young have raised concerns that invoking the Prevent duty ‘threatens the involvement of the state’s security powers and real and serious interference with freedom of expression‘.” [Daily Mail].

Looking now at the comments of the Daily Mail readers, I see that 95% agree with me…

Of course, arrival figure are not the whole story. Births to immigrants are as important, if not more so.

It was not always thus. Below, me, aged just 10, late Summer 1966, with then Labour Party leader and Prime Minister, Harold Wilson. On the quay at Hugh Town, St. Mary’s, Isles of Scilly. I am on (oddly) the extreme left of the photo:

I cannot imagine Harold Wilson (whatever the flaws in his policies may have been) getting down on his knee(s) in sign of fealty to black mobs, as have Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner.

As the real parasites are allowed to flood by the million into our once “green and pleasant land”…

Where is supposedly hardline anti-invasion Cabinet minister, Priti Patel (who should not be here herself)? Laughing at the British people with her Israeli friends?

Anyway, a few hundred or a thousand invaders a week might be regarded as a bagatelle when Boris-idiot, in his role as NWO/ZOG/Coudenhove-Kalergi part-Jew puppet, has now invited no less than 6 MILLION Hong Kong Chinese to come and live here.

This is only the start…

I cannot say that I have a huge amount of time for Galloway, but at first I thought that he would do well to get 5% of the vote. As the by-election campaign has progressed, I have realized that that was a gross underestimate. He may well get not only most of the Muslim votes but also a sizeable chunk of disaffected white English former Labour votes. If so, he could be in with a good chance of at least coming in second.

Unlikely that Galloway will win (though I thought that of the LibDems at Chesham and Amersham). If he did, though, that really would be a political earthquake, not because Galloway might go on to form a party of any size, but because it would show that vast numbers of people in the UK are very tired and angry at the way in which this country has been misgoverned for decades.

Hartlepool, Chesham and Amersham, Batley and Spen. Are they listening? How can they be forced to listen?…

Exactly. The simple people think in terms of government having a kind of Mrs. Thatcher’s purse, or a chest with money in it (in gold coins, very likely), and that once that is spent, “there is no money left”. Few, even MPs or candidates, bother to learn even basic macro-economics, and that is why you get stupid people such as Kim Leadbeater, the doomed (?) Labour candidate at Batley and Spen (though she only joined Labour about 6 or 7 weeks ago!) parrotting nonsense about “magic money trees” etc. Pitiful.

Kim Leadbeater, despite not even having belonged to Labour for more than a month or two, is clearly part of that corrupt, dishonest, PR-spinning, Blairite-Brownite, New Labour ghastliness. After all, her own sister was a Labour-label MP who herself was married to a sex pest quasi-rapist (who made about £200,000 a year from a charity)… The people don’t want that kind of “Labour”.

If I were a voter of Batley and Spen, I would demand full disclosure from Kim Leadbeater about her income, and from where exactly it comes.

The tweet below by one Darren Gray made me laugh. I saw a few today like it.

As if it changes anything at all that Boris-idiot has a majority of 80 or one of 81! Labour would have to win about 80 by-elections to force out the present government.

What if Labour manages to retain Batley an Spen? Unlikely, but what if? Well, Starmer would probably not be forced out. Apart from that, nothing. Either another Jewish-lobby puppet such as Rachel Reeves or Lisa Nandy would take over, or Angela Rayner, who seems as thick as two short planks, and who also bent the knee, alongside Starmer, to both the Jewish lobby and the black mobs; or maybe some creature such as Dawn Butler would become Labour leader, thus accelerating Labour’s demise.

In fact, even if Labour wins at Batley and Spen, the snatched victory would mean nothing. The margin would probably be tiny, and all of Labour’s problems of role, identity, meaning, and purpose, would remain.

At present, I am thinking that the result might be (probably will be) Conservatives to win, followed (possibly) by Galloway, and with Labour in third place.

Batley and Spen by-election

I continue to update daily my blog post on the Batley and Spen by-election, which occurs on Thursday 1 July 2021. 4 days remaining. https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/06/04/the-batley-and-spen-by-election-2021/.

Amusing that the Jewish Chronicle has focussed on the fact that many voters will not vote for Kim Leadbeater (Labour candidate) because she is a lesbian whose party leader, Starmer, is a very obvious puppet of the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby:

As for “Lord Walney”, that is John Woodcock, the sex pest depressive case who was “Labour”-label MP for Barrow and Furness, and who jumped ship when about to be binned, only to be “elevated” to the House of Lords by “Conservative” Boris-idiot. A complete puppet of the Israel lobby, who has had his reward….

As for Starmer…

…and that was said long ago. Since then, Starmer has proven that that is true time and again. He’s just a puppet, as leader of the dying Labour Party.

Little Matt Hancock

Hancock has resigned. He will find his political career finished now, at least in Government. Boris-idiot will not take him on again, so avoiding msm and public flak, and “Boris” can now blame Hancock for any and all “Covid” lapses since early 2020…

I expect that will mean that Galloway gets far more votes as a consequence, from both English and brown Muslim voters. I hope that that will be the case.

This is where the State can perform its proper regulatory function, by laying down maxima.

Conclusion: the System is not working for most people…

The fallout from the Hancock, Cummings and other scandals has impacted public sentiment, but at the end of the day Labour is still 8 points behind arguably the most shambolic government Britain has had for a century or more.

There is also the point that, unless “Boris” decides to chuck in the job at which he is useless, he and his party will be sitting there, immovable until, in theory at least, December 2024.

The Jewish/Israel lobby wants Labour’s Kim Leadbeater to win. What a surprise…

I read a couple (certainly one) of Mason’s books. On economics he is interesting, informed, and sometimes correct. On politics, though, he is a joke, completely hopeless. Somewhere in the middle of a mess of Trotskyist, syndicalist, and “anti-fascist” nonsense. Incongruent, and often ignorant. He is part-Jew, too, a fact not generally known. Like another part-Jewish scribbler, Owen Jones, he likes to talk in terms of “class struggle”, and is as out of date as the Berlin Wall, if not the Front Populaire.

At the end of the day, if Labour wins at Batley and Spen, all that happens is that another member of the same family as Jo Cox gets a “nice little earner”, and Keir Starmer gets a reprieve as Labour leader. The area and its people get absolutely nothing. The Conservatives at Westminster will still have a majority of 80.

If the Conservative Party candidate wins at Batley, the area may get more government assistance, financial or otherwise. The Conservatives at Westminster will have a majority of 81 instead of 80. No real difference to them, but Batley area might benefit.

It is very unlikely that Galloway can win, but at least a vote for him hits the Jewish cabal ruling Labour, and hits them hard.

Presumably not from a candidate in the by-election!

Quite. What does Labour actually stand for? I ask the question often in the blog. “And answer came there none”…

Maybe not quite fair. After all, for any pro-EU, “anti-racist” and probably “LGBT” virtue-signallers, who probably live in certain parts of London, love Jewish things, are probably pro-Israel, and believe any nonsense pumped out about the so-called “holocaust”, and who love “Black Lives Matter” nonsense, and facemask nonsense, Labour probably speaks to you. Sadly for Labour, that is 5%, or at most 10%, of the population. For anyone else, Labour is effectively a nullity now. Zero.

I feel (very slightly) sorry for the Labour candidate, who seems pretty dim, all but uneducated, and is obviously way out of her depth in this by-election.

Batley and Spen by-election

I continue to update my assessment of the Batley and Spen by-election, which is to be held next Thursday, 1 July 2021: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/06/04/the-batley-and-spen-by-election-2021/

Victoria

I have been watching the dramatization of the life of Queen Victoria. Very good, and unlike most such docu-dramas, does not leave out the major political and socio-economic currents flowing at the time. Very intelligently planned, and finely-acted.

As always, there are imperfections. In the double-length episode I saw today, some lady was playing a piece by Rachmaninov on the piano, though the name of the composer was not mentioned. Anachronistic, in that this was set around 1850. Rachmaninov was born in 1873! So the TV people got it wrong by about 50 years!

Dramatized history is ever thus. In fact, other episodes of Victoria were also rather loose with the historical truth, as when Drummond, the secretary of the Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel, is shot in mistake for Peel. That did happen, but not at all as shown.

The series was based on a book by A.N. Wilson, who is a readable writer, but not always a good historian. I once read one of his books which was so replete with historical inaccuracies that I was surprised that no-one at his publishers had corrected them. In fact, I reviewed the book on Amazon UK, where I was a “top 50” reviewer, but the Jew lobby had all my reviews removed from Amazon some years ago.

Europe is dwarfed by the burgeoning power of China. In every way— population, overall economic strength, military might. Even the USA is now challenged. The response by the USA (as well as Europe and Russia) to that challenge will define what the second half of this century, as well as succeeding centuries, will look like.

I agree. There should have been also, a mass civil disobedience to the facemask nonsense, with businesses openly ignoring the so-called “rules”. Businesses have almost all cravenly submitted to the Government diktats, so screw them.

In fact, both the German movements for organized youth, and those of the Soviet Union, were inspired by and loosely based on the ideas of Baden-Powell and his Boy Scouts and Girl Guides movement(s): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Baden-Powell,_1st_Baron_Baden-Powell.

In Germany, the NSDAP set up both the Hitlerjugend [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_Youth] and the Bund Deutscher Mädel [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_German_Girls].

What is less-known is that the German Communist Party [KPD] in the 1920s, early 1930s, and 1949-1989 also had such an organization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Communist_League_of_Germany, members of which included some persons later prominent in the post-WW2 DDR (East Germany), such as Erich Honecker [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Honecker] and Markus Wolf [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_Wolf].

Subject to correction, I believe that the (German) Social Democrat Party [SPD] also had its own youth movement in the 1918-33 period.

In the Soviet Union, the equivalent organization would be the Young Pioneers [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin_All-Union_Pioneer_Organization]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artek_(camp)

Batley and Spen Labour Party by-election candidate Kim Leadbeater runs away from Muslims (and others?) who do not want their young children taught about lesbianism etc. She is said to be a lesbian.

This must damage her campaign, especially with Muslim voters.

I note that System politics website Politics for All is careful to note that Ms. Leadbeater is “Jo Cox’s sister“. Labour is still hoping that the sympathy vote (if it exists), 5 years on, will win the by-election for Ms. Leadbeater. I have no idea whether or not there actually is, or ever was, a “sympathy vote” for Labour arising out of the assassination of the MP Jo Cox by a dissident in 2016. Now? Doubtful, though Ms. Leadbeater is obviously helped by her local roots.

Labour is totally desperate. I wonder, though, what real impact the Conservatives are making at Batley and Spen. All the noise is about either Kim Leadbeater or George Galloway. Is that the Conservative tactic, to keep quiet, and let Galloway bleed Labour of Muslim votes, rather than the Conservatives making noise and so perhaps triggering at least some white voters to vote Labour? Or is that too Machiavellian?

Looking at the past decade, and leaving out the rigged by-election of 2016, the Conservatives have been between 30% and 40% at Batley and Spen [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batley_and_Spen_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s], Labour between 42% and 56%. If most of the Muslim vote abstains or votes for Galloway, that must take Labour down to somewhere around 30%. That gives the prize, probably, to the Conservatives. If most of the Muslim vote abandons Labour, and many 2019 Labour white, i.e. English, voters also abandon Labour, then the Conservatives will win easily.

I cannot see Galloway actually winning. He would have to get almost all of the Muslim vote and quite a lot of English votes to do that. Never say never, of course, but it is very unlikely. Having said that, I started off thinking that he might get 5%, then thought maybe 10%. Now I am wondering whether he might not top 20% or more, but the truth is that I am guessing.

Having now read the above article, I cannot say that I am much impressed. I have (if I say so myself) made the same points previously, and better. The point about whether a Conservative Party MP would be better-placed to attract central government support in a Conservative Party-dominated Parliament is a good one, though again one that I have myself made several times in relation both to this by-election, the recent Hartlepool one, and generally.

I have never been to the Batley area. I have no idea what kind of personal popularity Ms. Leadbeater has. She seems very odd to me, at times leaping in the air as if at one of her gym classes; and despite her entourage, she seemed frightened when being challenged by Muslim anti-LGBT etc people. Of course, she is not a politician, as such, and has been parachuted in (for all that she is local) to try to capitalize on the supposed “sympathy vote” (which I frankly do not believe exists anyway).

I can see that there are logical reasons why voters in the by-election might vote Conservative; I can see that there are ideological reasons why voters, especially Muslim voters, might either vote Galloway or abstain. I can see no reason why many voters, English or Muslim, would vote Labour in the by-election.

A supposed leading political scribbler, but he cannot even spell properly the name of the candidate…

What “debate”? The “rules” are for the mugs and scared rabbits…

Boris-idiot’s charmed life continues. Hancock has been approved by “Boris” despite the scandal. He will now be kept on by “Boris”, like a fly kept alive but doomed in a spider’s web, ready to be utilized. Once the moment comes when “Boris” needs a sacrificial victim, there will be a reshuffle and Hancock will then be finished off (sacked and/or demoted).

Batley and Spen by-election

I am updating on a more or less daily basis my blog post about the upcoming 1 July 2021 by-election at Batley and Spen: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/06/04/the-batley-and-spen-by-election-2021/.

Labour is fading. This is one of the worst governments ever in the UK, led by some of the worst people, yet Labour is flailing and failing. Reason? It has no identity now, no real principles (except those most English people oppose, such as “anti-racism” hysteria), and no vision. Oh, and no real leadership (Keir Starmer is just a Jewish-lobby puppet).

As for opinion polls, they are inherently unreliable because they always add up to between 85% and 100%, as in the poll featured in the tweet above (93%), the remainder presmably being “Don’t Know”, yet in actual elections the turnout is rarely above 80%, typically only around 70%, and sometimes (especially in by-elections) far below that. The rigged 2016 by-election in Batley and Spen had a turnout of only 25%.

Not that that means that, in 2016, the other, non-voting, 75% at Batley and Spen supported the dissident who assassinated the previous MP, Jo Cox, but it may be that those non-voters did not support either Labour or any of the small parties that did stand. Tracy Brabin was voted in by 85% of those who did vote, but that means only by about 21% of the entire eligible electorate.

Voters, particularly though not exclusively white English voters, at present have no party for which to wholeheartedly vote. I accept that elections are a no-win situation for social nationalists now, in the urban areas where white people struggle to be a majority. All the same, if a tightly-controlled party could get a solid 10% or even 5% of the popular vote, a number of avenues might open.

The sort of “nationalist” candidates seen at Batley and Spen, however, are just a kind of not very interesting political bad joke.

That “Dr. Julia” pontificates about Coronavirus etc, but apparently neither virology nor epidemiology are her specialist fields. She tweets about how she makes her small children wear facemasks even outdoors. She’s a bit of a crank, in other words.

In any case, never trust a “political doctor”: David Owen, Hastings Banda, Papa Doc Duvalier, Liam Fox, that ghastly woman who was the MP for Totnes for a while (etc)…

I have blogged about Jew-Zionist pest and Twitter/Internet troll Ben Gidley in the past (see, eg, my blog post of yesterday’s date). @bengidley is or was not only @bobfrombrockley but also @inthesoupagain (“suspended”, i.e. expelled) and @antinazisunited (frozen; last tweet was in 2019).

Why Gidley uses the photo of Johnny Cash, God knows. There is no physical resemblance.

It is, I believe, against the rules laid down by Twitter to have multiple and/or trolling accounts in that way, but he has been doing that for at least 9 years if not longer.

Young white lives don’t matter (at the BBC) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9704235/BBC-sparks-discrimination-row-banning-white-people-applying-18-000-trainee-job.html

“The BBC has sparked a discrimination row after only allowing people from ethnic minorities to apply for a trainee position.

The broadcaster is advertising a one-year, £17,810 trainee production management assistant role with its Science Unit in Glasgow, but the position is ‘only open to black, Asian and ethnically diverse candidates’.

Positive discrimination is unlawful under the Equality Act 2010, but ‘positive action’ is allowed for trainee and internship roles in areas where there is under-representation.” [Daily Mail].

“Under-representation? It was recently exposed that the proportion of blacks working in the UK as TV presenters etc is in fact greater than their proportion in the population. In soaps, TV ads etc, there is huge over-representation of blacks and the mixed-race.

Just another example of the slow but accelerating attempt at the deliberate replacement of white (European) people, who have created almost everything of value in the world for the past millennium, and arguably for several millennia.

Batley and Spen by-election news

Apparently, Kim Leadbeater, the Labour candidate, and sister of Jo Cox, who was MP for a year (2015-2016) did fail to appear. Well, in a sense one could feel sorry for her, parachuted in by Labour to be the candidate, when she is not a politician and indeed only joined Labour very recently so that she could stand at Batley and Spen.

Kim Leadbeater was once, and notionally still is, a physical education teacher, but I read that she has in fact lived in recent years mainly from monies provided by the “charity” set up as “Jo Cox Foundation”. I have investigated that “charity” in the past. Rather doubtful, to say the least.

Labour Party rules require candidates to have been Labour Party members for at least a year, but so desperate were Labour’s leaders to cash in (as they thought) on the “sympathy vote” around Jo Cox (who was assassinated by a dissident, 5 years ago), that the usual rules were bent or broken for Kim Leadbeater.

I am not so sure that the said “sympathy vote” exists, in fact. The 2016 rigged by-election (at which the other major System parties and UKIP declined to stand) gifted Tracy Brabin, the Labour candidate, a vote-share of over 85%, but that was not only in a situation where only minor or crank candidates opposed Labour, but also on a miserable turnout (25%).

As I blogged a few weeks ago, the Labour vote at Batley and Spen declined to 55.5% in 2017, then again to 42.7% in 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batley_and_Spen_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s. My blog post: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/06/04/the-batley-and-spen-by-election-2021/.

The latest opinion polling:

As noted previously, George Galloway’s candidature may well sink Labour. There might be nothing between the two major System parties without Galloway in the contest. Even then, though, and even were Labour to win by a handful of votes, that would still signal that Labour is on the way out in strategic terms.

For which the Cabinet of Clowns continues to impose lockdown/shutdown nonsense, facemask nonsense, and other nonsense (eg mass vaccination). As a result, 12.2 MILLION people in the UK await NHS treatment, inflation is taking off, whole industries are ruined, and the self-confidence of the people has never slumped so low.

Oh, “Bob from Brockley”…I had almost forgotten about that irritating and unpleasant Jew. He (real name Ben Gidley, a sociologist at London University: https://www.bbk.ac.uk/our-staff/profile/8746457/ben-gidley) used to troll me daily from his other Twitter accounts (notably “@inthesoupagain”) when I myself still had a Twitter account. His trolling went on for years, and on a daily basis. Some of his troll accounts were closed down by Twitter, though his “@antinazisunited” account is still, I think, there, though frozen for a couple of years now.

“BobfromBrockley” is basically a pro-Israel, pro-Jewish account on Twitter, though posing as “socialist” and pro-Labour Party, specializing in the pathetic and outworn slogans of the “socialist” past: “non pasaran!”, “Never Again!“, “Venceremos!” etc.

Ha…I notice that someone else on Twitter has noticed:

Incidentally, that photo is not “Bob from Brockley”, i.e. Gidley. It is an early mugshot of the singer Johnny Cash.

Groupthink.

George Galloway

I am scarcely a fan or supporter of George Galloway, but it has to be admitted that, without his candidature at Batley and Spen, the by-election would be the usual meaningless (((controlled))) contest between two or three System parties. Now, at least one fake party (Labour) will probably lose a seat it has held for some time (since 1997). Galloway will then have achieved his objective, if only at the cost of giving a boost to the other main System party.

Though I despise the Conservative Party as it now is, I hope that Labour loses at Batley and Spen.

Labour is very much now again in the pocket of the Jewish lobby. The Conservative Party has long been so, especially since the 1990s. I suppose that is why George Galloway has a good chance of both retaining his deposit at Batley and Spen and also of denying the seat to Labour. Where will the Muslim vote go? Not to the Conservative Party, and now not much to the Labour Party, so that leaves Galloway as the likely recipient of quite a lot of the Muslim vote. He will probably get at least 5%, and may even get 10%.
