Sadiq Khan is announcing plans to build on parts of London’s green belt, in a dramatic shift in housing policy aimed at tackling “the most profound housing crisis in the capital’s history”.

In a major speech on Friday, the mayor of London is expected to say the scale of the challenge, which could need about 1m new homes built in the next decade, requires a break from longstanding taboos.

It marks the first time city hall will support the strategic release of low-quality or inaccessible green belt land near transport links in order to provide hundreds of thousands of new affordable homes.”

[Guardian]

Very sad. Apart from that, when they talk about “low-quality or inaccessible land“, what “low-quality” means in this context is simply land on the edge of built-up areas, which may not always be very scenic (but could be, with political will to improve it). “Inaccessible land” is still better than the same land being built on, and its very inaccessibility provides a haven and sanctuary for animals, birds, insects etc.

This is what happens when a country is invaded by a million migrant-invaders per year (legal or illegal)— pressure on land, transport, public services etc increases, housing becomes unaffordable, and life becomes stressed and unpleasant. Look around. The evidence is all around you.

More than 60% of the EU’s agricultural soils are degraded due to intensive agriculture, with similar damage to about 40% of British soils, a report has found.”

Disgusting pair. I hope that the sentencing judge passes a suitably condign sentence. I hope that I do not read “Sycamore Gap vandals escape prison“. This was a horrible and destructive crime, an act of evil; there was also huge economic damage to the surrounding region (I have seen figures estimating damage of up to £1M).

Just a tree? So tie them to a tree for a few weeks, or months (in winter).

I don’t care whether migrant-invaders are legal or illegal, or whether or not they break UK laws while battening upon us. I just want them all gone.

Yet another opinion poll placing Reform UK in government, potentially. According to Electoral Calculus, a Commons with 314 Reform UK MPs, 168 Labour MPs, 63 LibDems, 39 Cons, 36 SNP (etc). Reform 12 short of an absolute majority, but on the cusp of a working one.

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

[“Let’s put emotions aside for a moment. The United States .. like any sovereign nation .. has every right to reclaim its independence, pursue its national interest, and break free from parasitic entanglements that have long drained its dignity and resources. What we are witnessing today may be the first real attempt in decades by parts of the American establishment to free themselves from the stranglehold of the Zionist lobby. But here’s the irony: the very idea that America might make decisions based on its own interests has sent Israeli officials into a frenzy. Why? Because for decades, they’ve treated the U.S. not as an ally, but as a tool .. a weaponized servant to carry out their ambitions, silence their critics, and whitewash their crimes. And now, as the leash begins to loosen, their panic grows louder. Let’s be clear: This isn’t a battle between good and evil. It’s a clash between Racial superiority and religious superiority One seeking global domination through lies, manipulation, and media .. driven illusions , Blackmailing , assassination The other aiming to reassert global control through , brute force, and economic imperialism We now stand at a crossroads for America: Either the United States, through Trump, succeeds in imposing a model of sovereign imperialism based on American supremacy… Or Israel unleashes its old playbook .. media manipulation, financial pressure, political chaos .. to manufacture another storm, just as it did when JFK tried to challenge their influence and paid for it with his life.“]

Interesting. Plaid is of course not truly “national” or “nationalist”, but more akin to the SNP in Scotland. Its basic premise, that Wales should be an independent state, is of course ludicrous, especially but not solely from the economic point of view.

Having said that, I can see why Welsh voters in Wales are going for Plaid (the apparent tautology is in fact not so, because a great number of voters in Wales are not Welsh, being either non-European —non-white— or English, mostly the latter; there are a few other small groups as well).

I think that Plaid is making hay because the main System parties, Lab and Con, are perceived as both hopeless and not “local” (to Wales). That was not always so (in relation to Labour) but I think it probably is so now.

As for Reform’s upsurge in Wales, it follows the rise in support for Reform in England and even in Scotland.

In Scotland, Reform is rising up, but another consequence of the drastic fall in support for both Con and Lab is that the SNP may survive, however unmeritedly, and may be able to increase its Westminster representation from its present 9 MPs (out of 57 Scottish seats) to something like 30; not quite the 56 out of 59 it had in 2015, nor even the 48 out of 59 it had in 2019, but still respectable, and a plurality of the 57 Scottish seats that now exist.

Put another way, people across the UK are binning Con and Lab, and I do not see that changing.

The YouGov poll is about the Senedd (Welsh Assembly) elections, not Westminster voting intentions, but must have relevance to the next general election.

One of the best polling results yet for Reform.

Running that through Electoral Calculus (notionally putting LibDems at 15% and Greens at 10%): Reform 375 MPs; Labour 121; LibDems 62; SNP 38; Cons 25. A Reform government with a very large majority of 49 (working majority of about 59).

I keep seeing Labourite and Con Twitter-twits’ tweets saying “still 4 years to go“, as if the main System parties will somehow regain public trust before 2029. Are they serious?!

That ghastly little “Conservative” (?) scribbler and talking head, Harwood, really deserves some bad luck to come his way. Pro-Israel, pro-globalist finance-capitalism, in favour of cuts to public services and social security, in favour of unrestricted housing development. A System puppet, retailing “controlled opposition” rubbish.

[“48% of Britons say that immigration is one of the top issues facing the country, the joint-highest level since the election Economy: 52% (-2 from 26-28 Apr) Immigration: 48% (+4) Health: 36% (-1) Crime: 22% (-1) Defence: 20% (-2) Housing: 20% (=) Environment: 15% (-2) Tax: 14% (-1) Europe: 13% (+2) Welfare: 13% (+2).”]

Maybe the British people are at last beginning to wake up.

Defend? Against what? There is a concerted attempt to push for war with Russia, which would be both mad and pointless, Russia having no interest at all in invading central or western parts of Europe.

Ukraine was always part of Russia; as for the Baltic States or pribaltika, while I respect their rights to self-determination and their own cultures, that respect would not outweigh the right of the UK, France, and Germany etc not to get into a nuclear conflict with Russia over that small part of Northern Europe. In fact, the only reason Russia is now overshadowing the three Baltic states is because they have joined NATO. The same is true of Finland.

Present-day Russia is not like the old Soviet Union. It does not have the expansionist drive that came out of Marxist-Leninist ideology. It is also far less efficient in terms of military power (and secret intelligence etc).

European culture and civilization is threatened not by that fantasy “Russian invasion” but by migration-invasion from backward parts of the world, and I see very few and very weak attempts being made even to slow it, let alone stop it.

“Boris” Johnson— part-Jew and pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, and a Conservative Friends of Israel member; Starmer-stein likewise— pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, not himself Jewish (as far as is known) but with a Jewish wife, and with children being brought up as if fully-Jewish, Starmer being a member of Labour Friends of Israel.

Join the dots. Both Starmer-stein and “Boris” Johnson were fanatically in favour of the police-state measures brought in under cover of the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, both funneled British taxpayers’ monies to “Ukraine” (the mainly Jewish regime in Kiev), and both encouraged and still encourage mass immigration into Britain, while having English/British dissidents and protesters arrested. Both also want to allow (((developers))) to build on what is left of the “green and pleasant land”.

As I say, just join the dots.

Once again, we see where that Harwood bastard is coming from. For him, British politics and society is all about the (((money))). Same goes for GB News generally (and, even worse, the “no-one watches” Talk TV).

Interesting that Harwood and GB News, supposedly small-c “conservative”, now start to defend Starmer-stein, i.e. now that his fake Labour (((government))) is collapsing amid public hatred of it and him.

Tweeter “@benonwine” should consider what percentage of the UK population is now non-European (non-white). About 20%. Not all of that bloc vote, and not all of that bloc who vote, vote Labour, but most do. Question more or less answered.

As to Goodwin’s tweet and YouGov’s polling, according to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], those numbers would be enough to give Reform about 345 MPs, and a goodly-sized Commons majority (19, but in practical terms about 30 or 40. Other significant parties: 143 Labour MPs, 71 LibDems, SNP 38, Cons 23.

On that basis, the once-great Conservative Party would be reduced to a very small rump of 23 MPs, and would be a very poor fifth party in the Commons, after Reform, Labour, LibDems, and the SNP. It would be the end of the Conservative Party, bar the shouting about the whys and wherefores.

Sending Kemi Badenoch back to Nigeria at once, or at least sacking her (asap), might save some of the present Con Party MPs, but not most, I think. The tipping point may already have been reached. Every time I see the woman on TV, I think, “can anyone really see that as a Prime Minister?“.

Not so sure about that last comment from “@elias_baa”…

Surprising, yet not so surprising. Labour has done rather little for the people of Scotland in the past several decades. The SNP is only supported by, at most, half of the electorate. Reform may be the banner to which anti-SNP voters will flock.

I think I had not previously heard of that one. Rosie Wrighting. 27 years old. Sounds like a total bimbo. Selected/elected as MP aged 26. Had a job with ASOS for what seems to have been months not years. Never done anything else. Studied (Mickey Mouse “degree”?) fashion, we are told…

Looking at the 2024 result at Kettering [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettering_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s], I think that Ms. Wrighting will fairly soon be looking for another job.

The present “elected” dictatorship in the UK is evil.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 4/10, but I trumped that with 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 5, and 8, and was unsure about question 6, so also did not award myself a point for that even though I knew it was one of two particular architects.

GE 2024

Not only that, but Starmer-Labour’s vote-share of 33.8% was, of course, 33.8% of those that bothered to vote. Turnout was only 60%, so Starmer-Labour’s share of the entire eligible electorate was only 20.28%. That’s before you even take into account those too young to vote.

So active support for Starmer-Labour is, at best, little more than 20%, one in five of the eligible electorate. Even then, one has to consider that —as I have blogged since a long time prior to the General Election— the main motivation for all voters, except the quite small minority that actually voted Conservative, was to get rid of the Conservative government and, if possible, party, not to install a Starmer-Labour government.

It is quite likely that only about 10%-15% of the population really support Starmer-Labour.

Of course, it is worse for the Conservative Party. On the above bases and premises, real support for the Conservatives, in the country as a whole, is somewhere between 5% and 14%. Much worse than their headline 23.7% vote-share.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election

Nearly 60% of voters, of the 60% who voted, voted for one of the three main System parties, but if you factor in the non-voting eligible voters, that means that a minority (well below 40%) of all eligible voters voted for a System party . Then factor in younger people unable to vote, and the true “support” figure for the System, let alone the Starmer-Labour part of it, reduces to somewhere abound 20% (with Labour having maybe 15%, as already noted).

Her son literally sells his wife Only Fans, and she has no experience outside of being a trade Union representative, is she remotely qualified or experienced enough to hold the office she has? These are valid questions. But we could ask this of the entire cabinet? Literally none of them have experience of my distinction outside of playing politics. Look at the business Secretary, he has literally never owned or even worked in a business? What knowledge can he possibly bring to the role? These are important questions, that can’t simply be brushed aside with a few slurs.

Interesting.

Look at thick-as-two-short-planks David Lammy, now Foreign Secretary.

Admittedly, recent years have seen quite a few deadhead appointees to Cabinet anyway (including, as Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss and “Boris”-idiot), but look at this!

The only way this undeserved huge-majority Starmer-Labour government will not crash and burn within 1-2 years will be if it can stop mass immigration into the UK (I doubt that it will even try), and stop the cross-Channel “small boats” migration invasion (Starmer will probably simply set up “processing centres” in France, then rubberstamp 95% of applicants).

Starmer will also have to reconcile the “need” (caused mainly by mass immigration) to build huge numbers of new and really affordable houses and flats, meaning council or other social housing, and at the same time not trash the —mainly— English countryside, including Green Belt land.

Starmer-Labour will probably not have the money to build millions of dwelling units, so will turn to private housebuilding carpetbaggers, and so will probably let them loose on what should be protected countryside. Starmer will all but demolish planning controls answerable to local people.

I can see even worse bullying of the sick, disabled, and unemployed. Look at Rachel Reeves and Liz Kendall. Do you really see any compassion (or any particularly high intellect, or any willingness to think outside the box) there? I don’t.

Looks also as if the UK will continue to throw support, including money and weapons, to both “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) and Israel.

I see no higher (indeed, lower) living standards in prospect. Mass immigration inevitably means lower pay (whatever some Twitter-twits may think), and also higher taxes (because most of the immigrants are, at best, parasitic overall, and many are prolifically criminal as well).

The fabric of society will continue to fray, both by reason of the importation of about a million non-Europeans each year and because of cultural and administrative factors.

In short, this new pseudo-landslide government will almost certainly fail the British people, and fail quickly. After the people wake up to that, anything is possible.

I recall reading a Russian-language book about Dzerzhinsky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinsky], sometime around 1982. When he was, in the early 1920s, and amid his other responsibilities, head of the rail industry, he discovered considerable inefficiency, corruption etc. He had some executives and other people shot. Apparently, his methods, harsh though they certainly were, checked the problem sufficiently until systemic improvements were implemented: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinsky#Director_of_Cheka.

Just a thought.

Labour’s less sanguinary alternative.

Some industries are, in the contemporary era, better under public ownership. Rail. Domestic water supply. Most electricity. Most if not all gas.

Oh, right…let’s have a “bas-class” Mauritian Indian and pro-Israel puppet as “Conservative” leader and, later, potential (will never happen, though) Prime Minister…

No thanks…

I always said that the reason why British people, most of them, have not turned to social nationalism over my lifetime [b.1956] is because not enough of them were hurting enough. Not enough of them hurting enough and not enough of them knowing where to place the blame and, also, not enough of them knowing where to place their trust.

The situation at present, as I see it, is that living standards are now falling (and have been for some time), that social and civic standards are in most respects at an all-time low, and still sliding, and that the background and intellectual level of MPs is at an all-time low, as is public trust in, and respect for, them.

All those above factors are getting worse, more pronounced. At the same time (and connected to the above), mass immigration is totally out of control. Not just the cross-Channel “illegals”, but the “legals” coming in on student visas, work visas, “family and friends” visas, “fiancee” visas, tourist visas (the “tourists” then disappearing or claiming asylum) and the rest. A million a year, give or take.

That whole situation has been the background for the loss of confidence in the Conservative Party, and is also the reason why Starmer-Labour is also actually quite unpopular, despite its “landslide by default”.

The happy cheers from TV studios and from System journalists such as John Rentoul are not echoed by the British people.

The situation on the ground is why Reform UK, despite its semi-“libertarian” bias, and its often underwhelming candidates, has managed to get 5 MPs and (arguably as important) over 4 million votes.

When Starmer-Labour falters, in 2025 or 2026, the British people may be ready for a much more radical movement of the “Overton Window”, policies well beyond those of Farage’s Reform UK.

I notice also that Nick Boles, pro-Israel and a Bilderberg attendee, may be another to join the Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship:

The System has several faces…

Regular readers of the blog will know that I have never favoured the Rwanda plan, for several reasons (impracticability, cost, probability of political instability in Rwanda, numbers etc), but of course the cancellation will encourage the migrant-invaders (even more).

It is alarming to see (though Twitter is not at all typical of the mass of the public) how many idiots of the “Janet Cobb” type there are in the UK. Unwitting (?) gravediggers of our people’s future. Take a look at her Twitter/X timeline. Incredible wilful stupidity.

Now we see how Starmer intends to run his “elected” dictatorship. As a dictatorship. A Zionist-influenced or controlled tyranny. We are only on day 2 so far…

Jacqui Smith. Expenses cheat and freeloader, but that’s OK because she has the imprimatur from Israel…

…and then, after those who stole and grifted for years get chucked out in elections, those same cheats and freeloaders (such as Jacqui Smith) get invited back into government, given a peerage (no need for silly elections, oh no…), and a ministerial portfolio! How wonderful “democracy” is!

BBC Question Time is a show so biased, and serving a System agenda, that it would not have been out of place in the Soviet Union. Look at what happened to Nick Griffin about 14 years ago. A complete and rigged lynching.

There should be a massive purge of the cultural sector generally.

Tom Harwood is a horrible little bastard. A typical “knows the price of everything and the value of nothing” careerist.

Yes, they will take “just” 1% of the Green Belt…at first. That covers a year or two of the “need” for new “homes”. A couple of years later, with another 1M+ immigrants to house, guess what? Another 1% (or more) of the Green Belt will be “needed”. And so on…

All that will feed money to housebuilding giants and banks and, down the line, to organizations such as GB News, and to talking heads such as Tom Harwood.

As tweeted there, “Labour” has no, or no effective, plan, because (just like the “Conservatives”) they want more immigration. Evil. Treacherous. Coudenhove-Kalergi puppets.

The consumption of material resources using the photovoltaic technology is at least 64 times that of nuclear energy. For the production of the solar-grade silicon for one square meter of panel area it requires 3.5 kg of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The weight of concrete, steel and chemicals used, such as acids/ bases, etchants, elemental gases, dopants, photolithographic chemicals etc. are never included. PV technology is more than 7 times more labor intensive than other energy sources. They never include disposing of the worn out panels, recycling copper wiring etc. after solar farms have reached end of life. So when they tell you solar makes back the energy used to build and maintain them in X amount of time, they are actually lying to you.”

Interesting, nicht wahr, that all these supposed imperative “needs”, such as concreting over the English countryside to provide “homes” (mostly for migrant-invaders), or creating massive solar farms in the countryside or, indeed, creating fake “vaccines” and the “need” for this, that, or the other anti-“pandemic” equipment and services, always seem to mean massive profit for greedy landowners, farmers, giant companies, the mass media organizations etc?

GE 2024 may be nailed on for Labour, but there is everything still to play for in respect of Reform UK; also, in terms of really wiping out (or not) the totally useless “Conservative” Party. Still 4 days or so to go before the campaign is at an end. About a fifth of eligible voters are still unsure whether to bother voting, and/or where to place their cross.

If Reform UK only gets about 15% or 16% across the board, then that will be underwhelming, though it should sink the Conservative Party. In that event, Reform would probably get only one or two MPs. If, on the other hand, Reform can get about 23%, then it might end up with 50+ MPs, and the map of British politics will have been irrevocably changed.

James Whale [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Whale_(radio_presenter)] and his co-host (who he?) are just two Israel-lobby monkeys-on-sticks at the bad-joke Talk Radio/Talk TV, which hardly anyone sees or hears.

Talk TV, one of the Murdoch assets, was one of the few msm outlets to report on my free speech trial sentencing hearing. It managed to get the sentence completely wrong, stating that I had been “jailed“!

That interviewee was right. Talk TV/Talk Radio are indeed “clowns“.

The mass media are under (((control))), just as the entire political system is monitored and controlled. Once even a mild-ish small-c conservative party such as Reform UK starts to become popular with the masses, the control starts to become more heavy-handed. It is pretty blatant.

What other party could do this in the Britain of 2024? Brexit Party did it, on a smaller scale, but Farage stabbed it in the back. This time, he obviously plans to take it to the end (Election Day).

Like the end of the 1934 Nuremberg rally, but without a proper social-national party, movement, ideology, or leader.

Still, if it destroys at least half of the “two main parties” scam, and moves the “Overton Window” a bit (or a lot), I am relatively happy…

Incidentally, if you do not see the (superficial) parallel to 1934 Nuremberg, see the video below [at/from 1hr 30 mins]

Well, it is a start…

With the IFS questioning how Labour and the Tories are going to fund their manifesto pledges, the public are similarly sceptical: % who think each party’s promises are…

Affordable / Unaffordable Con promises: 14% / 57% Lab promises: 22% / 47%

Realistic / Unrealistic Con promises: 14% / 62% Lab promises: 25% / 47%

Good for Britain / Bad for Britain Con promises: 22%/ 52% Lab promises: 37% / 35%.”

Incredibly, the Cons are seen as worse on all those questions.

In 2015 I met this Palestinian farmer, Abdel-Majeed, on the West Bank. Israeli settlers were attacking him and stealing his land, and I thought the situation was about as bad as it could get. No, it has gotten much worse.

I revisited him last week, during a week-long trip through Israel and the West Bank, and I found that settlers have burned his cars and destroyed his tractor. They have cut down his olive trees and set his sheep shed on fire. They tried to break into his house when his granddaughter was home. Now his wife is arguing that they should give up their home, for fear of being burned alive by settlers.

This is life on the West Bank today. It doesn’t get as much attention as Gaza, but the situation is desperate. And the US is largely AWOL. I know it feels a long way away, but this is central to the Middle East crisis and is one reason I fear the crisis will get worse.

Good grief. The “Conservative” MPs really are “filling their boots” on the way out…

Incredible. In the Christian Weltanschauung we are all “sinners”, it is said, but the Conservative Party is rapidly being exposed as a cabal of corrupt and ethics-free outright criminals and spivs.

Can you imagine a low trick of that sort being pulled in 1956 (the year of my birth), 1974 (when, aged 18, I voted for the first and only time—my candidate came last out of four…), or even 20 years ago? No. It would not, could not, have happened.

It is as if there has been a complete and shameless moral collapse on the part of the Conservative Party’s MPs and staff. Betting on the election date while having inside knowledge, masquerading as a fictional “Tax Check” organization (as above), masquerading as a candidate for any party other than Conservative (the unpleasant little Israel puppet, Robert Largan, at High Peak) etc.

Just unbelievable.

As for Philip Davies, he has, in a sense, every right to bet against himself, especially as he would certainly prefer to be, and make more profit were he to be, re-elected as MP for Shipley. Yes. No argument as far as that is concerned, but it just looks wrong, and so, bearing in mind the status and public position of an MP —as Davies was until the prorogation of Parliament— it is wrong.

Apropos of nothing, I wonder how many of my regular blog readers know that the Russian word for a railway station of medium to large size is a “voksaal” [воксал], which comes from, yes, “Vauxhall”.

The reason is that Vauxhall was apparently one of the first places to have a functioning steam train, or at least a well-known one, at a time (early 19thC) when Vauxhall was a “pleasure garden”. Possibly. A similar but distinct explanation is that other pleasure gardens, in Poland and Russia, were later referred to as “vauxhalls” and were in the vicinity of railway stations: anyway, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vauxhall_Gardens#Cultural_significance.

I think that a few of my regular readers already knew that, though I admit that I am guessing…

Paul Mason, would-be Labour MP, becomes ever more pathetic politically. One feels that, given another 10 years, he will be found wandering the streets and swearing randomly.

It is coming now to the point at which we might ask, “which event will destroy our present civilization? A collapse in insect life, plant life and then animal and human life? A nuclear war? A “pandemic” (a real one, not one like the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic)?

See my thoughts from quite a few years ago:

Well, then…

The tide is turning. Reform UK is the first really significant movement of the “Overton Window” in mainstream UK politics. Later, social-nationalism can take hold, once there is a suitable movement as a vehicle for it. Then, a few accounts may be settled.

Social conditions in what might be called the Gaza ghetto…

All but two striking targets in Western Ukraine, i.e. west of the Dnieper; indeed well to the west of the river.

They are laughing…now…

Their evil is palpable when they feel thwarted. A similar incident happened in London a couple of months ago, with the Metropolitan Police as the immediate targets of the filmed propaganda.

According to my use of Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that might result in a House of Commons with 441 Labour MPs (overall majority 232), LibDems 82, Cons 55, Reform UK 22, Greens 4, SNP 23 (etc).

I remain unsure as to whether Biden is making a philosophical point, or whether he is just confused. Hard to say. He really ought to retire.

Heartless monsters. Degenerates.

Not all the blame lies on one side, admittedly, but the historical blame, arising from the Jewish occupation of Palestine from, mainly, after the end of the Second World War, overshadows the whole situation.

Talking point

I have known a few, not many, Persians/Iranians in my life. One group was a family the head of which was a member of the Parliament in Iran under the Shah. When the Islamic Revolution happened, that man was hanged but his two sons were in London as students at Imperial College, living in a mansion flat in Little Venice bought for that purpose. Their mother was later allowed to join them. Exiles. I got to know them via a mutual friend when living in the same district of the capital.

I also became briefly acquainted, in 1976, before the Revolution, with two of the children of a wealthy Iranian/Persian family; I believe that, as with the first family, the family were large landowners. I saw a picture of their palatial house in some province or other, maybe Shiraz.

The children of that family were a young man whom I had met while travelling from London to Penzance by train one night (a First Class compartment but not a sleeper). He was a student (Architecture, I think, if memory serves), aged about the same as me (I was 19, I think).

Not long after, I was invited for an informal supper with the student and his sister, a charming young woman in her early twenties, who was working in Brighton as a nurse, I think. The family had bought two or maybe three bungalows in the same small close on the edge of that town so that various young family members could be together while in England. A young female cousin who lived across the way also attended.

I remember the evening partly because I arrived from London, and departed, on my motorbike, a Suzuki 250, and was able to use, for the first time, the then quite new M23, and which had almost no traffic at all in the mid/late evening. Hard to believe, today.

I lost touch with the student and his sister, and wonder what happened to them after the Revolution. I suppose that they too stayed on in the UK as exiles.

Over the years, I met the odd Iranian, and at one time (early 1980s) I was acquainted with an old fellow (as it then seemed), Edward Sykes (now long-deceased), who at one time, during WW2, had been sent to Teheran under diplomatic cover, but whose real job was to prepare to blow up and/or scout out the land for the sabotage of, numerous bridges, should German forces invade the country. Unlikely perhaps, but with the Wehrmacht already in the Caucasus and, on the other hand, in North Africa (menacing British-controlled Egypt and Palestine, and French-controlled Syria), not impossible.

Edward’s family was entangled with the Middle East. He lent me a massive two-volume large hardback copy of A History of Persia [https://archive.org/details/cu31924088418466] written by (I think) his father: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Sykes.

I have no idea whether it was another member of that family who formulated the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, which essentially carved up the Ottoman Empire, and thus the Middle and Near East: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes%E2%80%93Picot_Agreement. That Sykes was one Mark Sykes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Sykes.

A common-enough surname, but the Middle and Near East (and especially Persian) linkages are telling. cf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Sykes_(writer), another Sykes with Persian, Arab, SAS and SOE links and experiences.

Edward Sykes met his wife (whose name, I regret, I cannot recall; maybe Judith…cannot remember for sure) when training at the military intelligence school set up in a former “hydro” (spa hotel) at Matlock, Derbyshire: https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/arts-and-culture/derbyshires-top-secret-story-of-military-intelligence-revealed-4396084.

See also https://www.paradata.org.uk/media/13643; and https://calmview.derbyshire.gov.uk/calmview/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=D6890&pos=730.

Edward’s wife was also there at Matlock, I think in the FANY [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Aid_Nursing_Yeomanry#Second_World_War]. She claimed that “he was a Captain, and I was washing the floors!” but in reality their backgrounds were, I apprehend, not dissimilar.

Anyway, Edward had a group of people from Surrey (I was in the first year of my law degree, and had moved for a while back to living with my parents at Reigate); those old people went trekking on public footpaths through woods and fields once a week, starting and finishing at a rural pub somewhere, the route meticulously planned out in advance. I think that most of those people had some kind of WW2 intelligence or connected background.

Those old people were tough! After the fairly long trek and lunchtime pub food (ploughman’s lunch, pint of beer), they were all still alert, but I always fell asleep in Edward’s car (he and his wife were neighbours of my parents) on the way back! A tough generation.

Edward told me that he had been tasked, during the War, with the kidnap of a high-ranking Iranian, General Zahedi, thought to be pro-German. This Edward accomplished by using the services of the then quite new SAS. The general was sent to Palestine in a plane.

The story is told on Wikipedia and in the memoirs of the egregious Fitzroy Maclean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fazlollah_Zahedi; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fazlollah_Zahedi#Arrest_and_internment.

The story has a twist: later, that general’s son became, inter alia, Ambassador of the Shah in London, and invited Edward to a reception at the embassy, where he told Edward that his father had always said that he had not been badly treated in captivity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardeshir_Zahedi.

What strikes me, looking at some of the high-ranking military and naval people under the present regime in Iran, is that quite a few have strongly Aryan/European looks. Unsurprising in a way, in that the Aryan migration from Atlantis to ancient India then gradually ebbed back in influence from east to west: ancient India, ancient Persia, the Middle Eastern cultures, to Greece and Rome, and then to our Northern European culture, both during classical times and then, more particularly, since the 15thC and Renaissance.

There is also the point that some of the Persian aristocracy married German women in the 20thC. I know that another sister of that student I met on a train was a natural blonde.

My own direct connection to Iran has been less than slight— a 2-hour refuelling stopover in 1967, in the early hours at the then Teheran Airport, at the time a deserted and gloomy building with nothing much happening.

So, instead of improving the Green Belt, and making it greener, Starmer’s pathetic “plan” is to build on it, creating inevitably-poor-quality housing developments, which will be occupied mainly by immigrants of various kinds. How do I know this? Because there are over a million arriving in the UK every single year now, and even if a couple of hundred thousand people leave (mostly Brits, fleeing to Australia, New Zealand etc), that still means that the population of the UK is increasing by half a million to a million every single year (almost entirely noin-European), despite the (white British) birthrate having fallen to an unprecedented low.

Immigration on the mass scale has to be stopped. If you like, make an exception for the odd brain surgeon or nuclear scientist, but that would be in the hundreds, not the hundreds of thousands.

The mass immigration to which the UK is now subject is unsustainable for several reasons. First, the very numbers; secondly, the fact that most of those coming in, not just the 5% or 10% on the “small boats”, are actually useless to the people of this country. There are further reasons as well.

True. The fact is that most MPs are either incompetent, or are corrupt, or are traitors to the future of the British people. Or all three.

Four ‘highly dangerous’ Hackney gang members including three brothers and a fourth man have been jailed for a total of 75 years after firing machine guns and pistols and possessing crack cocaine and heroin. Three brothers, Ryan Gordon, 31, Ramela Gordon, 28, both of Lynmouth Road, and Jameal Gordon, 32, of no fixed abode, were jailed at the Old Bailey on Wednesday, April 17.

On March 14, 2020, the Gordon brothers discharged a number of rounds from the Uzi sub machine gun into a block of flats targeting an opposing gang. One of the bullets injured a member of the public passing by on their way home from work.

Officers used CCTV footage to connect the brothers to another incident where a self-loading pistol was fired in a heavily pedestrianised area of Homerton on May 21, 2020. A few days later, officers examined a block of flats in Lynmouth Road after a warrant was issued.

Gaza

A couple of cartoons which speak to me:

Another:

From the newspapers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Daily Mail].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Political thoughts

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ha.

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

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-12297233/PROFESSOR-FRANK-FUREDI-contempt-unelected-buffoons-House-Lords.html

As a child aged just nine, I endured the longest and most terrifying night of my life, fleeing with my family from our home.

Nearly 70 years later, every detail of that escape is still burned into my memory. All my life I have had the deepest sympathy for fellow refugees: those who leave behind everything they own and everyone they know to reach safety.

It was at the beginning of winter in 1956 that the Furedi family fled Hungary. My father was one of the leaders of the workers’ councils in Budapest organising resistance to Soviet Union control. That culminated in an uprising, which was mercilessly crushed by Red Army tanks and troops.

Many of these peers inhabit a fantasy world. The soaring numbers of illegal migrants entering Britain don’t lose them any sleep at night. In their ermined world, any attempt to find a practical solution to the problem is dismissed as ‘isolationist’, ‘morally unacceptable’ and ‘impractical’.

The BBC is equally detached from reality.

As a university sociologist, listening to the whining in the Lords, I cannot help but draw the conclusion that the very existence of this narcissistic, unelected, unaccountable chamber is a political corruption of democracy.

[Daily Mail]

Completely correct.

One of the worst abusers of the House of Lords system is “Lord” Alf Dubs, a half-Jew whose (Jewish) father fled from Prague in 1938, leaving behind his (Austrian) wife and his son (they arrived in London a year later).

Alf Dubs, Labour MP for 8 years before later joining the misnamed “Lords”, was (maybe still is) a cheeky freeloader and expenses cheat (by any other name):

Dubs lists his main home as a cottage in the Lake District in Cumbria, which enabled him to claim over £26,000 of overnight subsistence expenses in 2007–08,[15][16] although he has lived in Notting Hill, London, since 1964. In May 2009, he argued in justification that Lords regard the overnight allowance as a payment in lieu of salary. “We are the only legislators in the world that don’t get paid,” he said. “The overnight thing is quite generous because it compensates for not having a salary. In practice that’s how it works.

[Wikipedia]

That was 15+ years ago. I wonder how much the old fraud drags down these days while trying to import as many migrant-invaders as possible to batten upon the British people who, generously but wrongheadedly, gave him and his parents refuge in 1938 and 1939?

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/23654056.world-war-two-veteran-made-homeless-eviction/

A 98-YEAR-OLD war veteran who is battling cancer has been evicted from his bungalow and is now homeless.

Alfred Guenigault, who served in World War Two as a paratrooper, was issued with a no-fault eviction notice two months ago by the landlord of the Ferndown bungalow he has lived in for the past seven years. 

He is now living in St Gabriels hostel in Verwood with his daughter Deb Dean and her husband Bert and says he feels “terrible” about the situation..

The great-grandfather-of-six-fears he will not be able to see his grandchildren from his new residence.

The family was forced to pack up their belongings and leave Ferndown on Thursday afternoon.

They turned to the council for help, which told them to go to First Point, a Dorset-based support service.

Deb said: “They were amazing and helped us so much with the forms and explaining things and told us we were eligible for a bungalow. 

“They said there is a duty to house us temporarily, which we understand, but we didn’t think it would be in a hostel.” 

Deb said the one room provided for them is empty, with no beds, apart from one provided by the hospital for the veteran, and has a shared kitchen and bathroom.

He also won’t be able to see any of his church friends who come over to see him or the vicar as well; his life is here in Ferndown.

Deb, a pensioner herself, lives with her father as his full-time carer while he battles cancer and severe kidney disease and said the situation is “very unfair” on her dad in his final years.

She added: “Dad has his carers in three to four times a day and I have to be with him 24 hours a day but because I recently became a pensioner, they have stopped my carer’s allowance which is about £700. 

We are told we will be in a hostel for six to eight months and it’s very unfair on him.

My concern is that in six months, he may not even be here anymore.”

Mr Guenigault, who has been awarded the National Order of the Legion of Honour by the French government, said: “None of my grandchildren will be able to stay in the hostel. I feel terrible, but mostly for Deb. 

I also have to change my doctor, who is brilliant, as it is outside the area, but I don’t want to do that.” 

A spokesman for Dorset Council said the authority will work with the family to find suitable accommodation in “as short a timescale as possible” but that they “need to be realistic about what is achievable in the current climate”.

“The council takes the Military Covenant very seriously and has a former veteran working within the team so really do appreciate the sacrifice our veterans make.”

[Bournemouth Echo].

Britain 2023…

Several points come to mind.

First of all, the sheer injustice of the whole “no fault eviction” laws. I know that such “no-fault evictions” are going to be banned [see https://www.blandy.co.uk/about/news-and-insights/insights/the-end-of-no-fault-evictions-what-does-this-mean-for-landlords-and-tenants] but that new law has yet to be passed.

Secondly, that landlord (a buy-to-let parasite?) is a prime subject for “naming and shaming”, if there ever was one.

Thirdly, how unjust that the old man’s daughter is now deprived of her Carer’s Allowance just because she has now become eligible for a slightly higher weekly amount by way of State Pension.

Fourthly, there would at least be decent alternative accommodation available for people like this were Britain not flooded with millions of black and brown migrant-invaders and other immigrants (“other” including about 150,000 bloody Ukrainians alone since last year).

Lastly, note the meaningless weaselling by the local council about the “Military Covenant” brought in by the government of David Cameron-Levita. Just lip-service. Useless.

At some point, Britain will explode, one way or another. This whole situation is unsustainable, and insupportable.

A final thought on this: is there no ex-members’ welfare organization attached to the Parachute Regiment that might help?

Why on Earth does Isabel Oakeshott think little Matt Hancock particularly intelligent? Because he has a PPE degree from Oxford and a “no-one fails” “Master’s” degree from Cambridge? I see nothing in his pronouncements or political life to ground the assumption.

“Jack Monroe”

The kefuffle around online “grifter” and fraudster “Jack Monroe” continues…

Quite.

Tweeter “Adespoto” is either “Jack Monroe” herself, or one of her mentally-disturbed supporters.

As if “Jack Monroe” will give up her scam! Not while (as of today) 414 utter mugs are each sending her between £3.50 and £44 a month, thousands of pounds monthly (maybe even tens of thousands) in toto.

Also, there are still a few (collusive?) persons within the decadent/degenerate msm still trying to promote “Jack Monroe” as real “activist” rather than a mendacious “grifter” , as when she was invited onto BBC Question Time a while ago.

Of course, if all those 414 mug-donors (and previous donors who saw the light and opted-out) were to take the course bravely taken by “Legal Gengar”, then “Jack Monroe” would probably be bankrupted, and would certainly lose whatever remaining lustre her public image retains. He or she took “Jack Monroe” to County Court, was awarded £10 and minor costs (which she refused to pay), but persisted until she was forced to pay what by then amounted to hundreds of pounds.

Very true. You do not have to look at the French urban areas though; look at the “British” cities. Not that they suffer riots so much, but the rot comes out in other ways: drugs, gangs, crime generally, and the gradual collapse of decent life.

Most of them can hardly read anyway. Why should they care? This is what happens when pseudo-liberal “democracy” results in invasion by untermenschen, and the breeding of huge numbers more.

Exactly. When will English and other white “me too”-liberals (pseudo-liberals) wake up to that simple truth?

…and do not forget what “element” enables much of this…

…and the transnational conspiracy still pretends, via the Western mass audience of TV, radio etc, that the brutal and corrupt regime of the Jew Zelensky is somehow good and even noble…

Those missiles cost about £2.5M each, money that could have been spent on so many things in the UK. In effect, £2.5M cash, given by a useless UK government to a corrupt and brutal Ukrainian regime. Wasted in a few minutes, in a pointless war.

It was the two managers of the hotel there talking to us. The hotel manager – she had to hold the tears back you could see – and she just announced that they’re laying everybody off as from 10 July, even them are getting laid off.

The owners of the hotel… they didn’t even come down to give the news themselves, they left it to the two managers who are also going to lose their jobs as well which is really sad.

“The whole of the staff upstairs were all waiting, nobody was looking for jobs, they were all sticking together, waiting ’til final last minute, hoping that they were going to get offered something or that they wouldn’t get left.

“It was just silence when they broke the news.”

A 4* hotel in the southwest of Wales. Meanwhile, British people are homeless and hungry.

Incidentally, this was my assessment of Owen Jones, from a few years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/04/a-brief-word-about-owen-jones/.

…and, with it, the idea that Europe should —or even can— be “multicultural”.

Sardonic black humour by a comedian, but there are a large number of enemies of our culture and future who really do think like that. Many are in the msm, but the contamination is spreading through, eg, the police, in the UK and beyond.

Again, think about what “element” is behind most of the cultural degeneracy. The same as during the 15 years of the Weimar Republic in Germany (1918-1933).

Protesters“?

France needs a new “SS Francais“, it seems.

“[Rachel] Reeves said: “What I want to see is people who are already in Britain being trained up for the jobs that are available in the economy… there are many people who are not in work who with the right support, could get into work.

She threw her weight behind plans to devolve back to work support to town halls, with localised drives to get people off benefits and back into work as part of a focus on “incentivising people“.

[The Sun].

There is no real difference between the drivel spewed out by Labour Friends of Israel MP Rachel Reeves and that emitted by Conservative Friends of Israel MP Iain “Dunce” Duncan Smith over the past 13+ years.

Localized drives” to harass the unemployed and/or disabled, and to take away the tiny incomes (from the State) that they need? Sounds as if any people without high income or capital voting Labour-label will be turkeys voting for Christmas…

Take away Zelensky’s ricebowl. Why start a world war for a pack of corrupt Jews in Kiev?

Always remember “the men behind the wire”…

Goodnight Vienna…Kiev

Idiots such as “Boris”, Liz Truss, and now the Indian money-juggler, Sunak, have been busy painting a big bullseye onto the UK…

Look at Ukraine under Zelensky’s regime— no economy left, except for harvesting grain and potato, pensions and State employees only getting paid because the West, mainly USA, is squeezing its own taxpayers for this garbage. “Ukraine” only has arms and ammunition because NATO states and others are funnelling them to Kiev free of charge. The Zelensky regime has shot or arrested opponents and dissidents, closed down trade unions and critical newspapers. As for ordinary justice, young girls suspected of shoplifting get sellotaped to trees on city streets and verbally (and maybe physically) abused.

Ukraine, as it now is, is a “failed state” in all ways.

Any stray Russian or “Ukrainian” missiles would be welcome.

Well, there it is. The Dutch situation was, in reality, the Dutch Experiment. A limited try-out.

The UK police, many of them, are far more interested in doing fake “communitarian” things than doing their proper job, “proper job” meaning deterring or investigating those old boring crimes such as murder, other offences against the person, crimes of acquisition etc.

No, all too many of them have embraced all too readily their new role of being the militia of a toytown “woke” police state, and a poundland KGB, snooping on tweets and other online material (whether they understand that material or not). Still, what goes around comes around, in the end…

The above clip is a typical example. The police in question are chatting about (?) football or (?) Eurovision, and are ignoring the unlawful blocking of the road… until their chat is interrupted. Then they take action, but against a victim of the malicious little pseudo-eco mob, not the mob itself!

Sometimes you can just see what may well happen not far down the road, and if the police fail —continue to fail— to stand with the British people, they themselves will fall victim.

Virtually subhuman. Drop him and the whole troop down a black hole.

Actually, I admit that I am wrong. Not “virtually“…

Many very silly people think that the Suffragettes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette] were justified in their “direct action” programme, a kind of low-level “terrorism”, because without it, women would never have been granted the vote. The only thing about that, though, is that it is not true.

Women all over the world gained the vote in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, almost all without violent protest. Indeed, the Suffragists in the UK were on that same road: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage.

As to whether “the vote” really is useful, in 2023, that is a debate for some other time.

A “mysterious Labour donor“? What kind of J.. would that be?

Can’t quite recall what (((type)))…

Wait until her connections to the Israelis come out…

Reeves is a vice-chair of Labour Friends of Israel,[51] contributed a chapter to a book about Israeli politics and society,[52] and supports the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.[53][54]

[Wikipedia] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Reeves#Political_positions_and_views.

Still, she and her sister, and the husbands of both, have a “nice little earner” going on: both sisters are “Labour” MPs, and the sister is married to yet another Labour MP, while Rachel Reeves’ husband is also well-embedded in the present System: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Joicey.

Add up the salaries of that quartet, their personal expenses, their “perks”, and their various other income streams, and you are probably looking at £1M-£2M p.a.

I am now old enough (66) to remember when “Labour” was at least notionally connected to “the working man”, or what were once called (by Labour MPs) “working people“.

Say what you want about Erdogan, he hustles, in the American phrase.

Ha ha! “I’ll have whatever he’s having“!

Ukraine will never join the EU, never join NATO, and may well not exist in its present form by 2030.

The USA may be waking up to the dangers of supplying “Ukraine” with endless American arms and cash. Cut off the supply.

Were the pieces of equipment supplied on the nod, without an end-user certificate?
