The possible/probable all-out war, if and when it happens, will be very negative for all the people of the region.
One silver lining, though, is that, while US attention is focussed on the Middle East, Russian forces can continue to degrade the infrastructure of the Kiev regime, and press forward in Donetsk and elsewhere within the Ukrainian/Russian theatre.

Few now remember Cornfeld, or his vehicle, Investors’ Overseas Services, but it had a high profile in the late 1960s and very early 1970s. I myself recall seeing ads for it in the Daily Telegraph colour magazine in, I think, 1970.
Incidentally, those British newspapers’ colour magazines of the early 1970s were on a different level of quality vis a vis the weekend supplements seen today; that applied especially to the Daily Telegraph one, which I think came out on Fridays. Real reportage on matters of importance and/or interest, not recipes, makeup, gossip, chick-lit and similar rubbish.

“Argentina’s poverty rate has soared to almost 53% in the first six months of Javier Milei’s presidency, offering the first hard evidence of how the far-right libertarian’s tough austerity measures are hitting the population.
Since taking office in December, the self-described “anarcho-capitalist” – who campaigned with a chainsaw in hand to symbolise the cuts he would make – has slashed public spending in an effort to tame chronic inflation and eliminate the budget deficit.
His administration has frozen pensions, reduced aid to soup kitchens, cut welfare programmes and stopped all public works projects. Tens of thousands of public employees have been fired, reduced energy and transportation subsidies have pushed costs up, and purchasing power has eroded.
Kirsten Sehnbruch, an expert on Latin America at the London School of Economics and Political Science, said she had never seen such a large jump in poverty rates. “This new economic programme is not protecting the poor,” she said. “The jump is absolutely horrendous.”
Milei’s cuts, however, have been cheered by markets, investors and the International Monetary Fund, to which Argentina owes $43bn. Monthly inflation has also decreased from about 26% in December to about 4% in June, where it has remained, although annual inflation still remains one of the highest in the world, exceeding 230%.
María Claudia Albornoz, a community worker from Santa Fe, said the government had “provoked a situation of desperation”. “We are feeling it in the fridge, empty and unplugged. Money is really worth absolutely nothing. We have three jobs and it is not enough,” she said.
While Milei’s popularity ratings have remained high, public support now appears to be waning. A survey published on Monday found a drop of almost 15% in September, the steepest fall during his nine-month administration. Recent polls have found that worries about inflation have been overtaken by fears of job loss and poverty.
Christopher Sabatini, a senior fellow for Latin America at Chatham House, said that economic decline was inevitable when controlling inflation, and pointed to similar historic crises in Brazil and Bolivia, but questioned whether Milei’s changes will work.
“For a county that has historically prided itself on being a middle-class nation, this poverty rate is terribly painful,” Sabatini said.“

Rosie Duffield: Sleaze, nepotism and greed — why I’m quitting Labour
In her resignation letter, the MP lambasts Sir Keir Starmer for the ‘staggering hypocrisy’ of accepting gifts worth tens of thousands of pounds while scrapping winter fuel paymentshttps://t.co/W7rkVaHKsm
The fact is that the “elected” (by 4 voters out of every 20 eligible and out of every 12 that voted) semi-dictatorship of freeloading Starmer and his cabal has absolutely nothing to offer the British people.
But views on the stated reasons are everything. Rosie Duffield has morals and courage, what do you bring to the party? The promotion of men in dresses as some sort of sacred caste, and the backbone of a jellyfish on policies that make the Tories look caring. Shame on you. https://t.co/gsEjgw8yZf

On the same day a 649-page document was published with the name, age, gender & ID of known Palestinians killed in Gaza, of which the first 14 pages contain infants younger than 1, Keir Starmer, who has funded and supplied this, has declared “the Holocaust cannot be repeated.” https://t.co/0uRunzq9DR
“This was the first year that participation in Holocaust Memorial Day fell, we can’t sit back and accept that.
Tonight I am making two decisions in advance of that review. First, the Holocaust will remain on the curriculum come what may.
“And second, even schools who do not currently have to follow the national curriculum will have to teach the Holocaust when the new curriculum comes in.
“For the first time, studying the Holocaust will become a critical, vital part of every single student’s identity.”
[The Independent]
Starmer went on to say that the small park right next to the Palace of Westminster would be vandalized by having a Jewish-Zionist triumphalist “holocaust” centre built on it:
“So yes, we will build that national Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre. And build it next to Parliament.
“Boldly, proudly, unapologetically.”
[The Independent]
Starmer is like one of the puppets used in those 1960s British children’s shows such as Thunderbirds or Stingray. At times, you can quite easily see the strings controlling his movements.
Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper and the rest are all puppets of Jewish Zionism and the Israel lobby. Now intending to insist that every school student in the UK pays ritual obeisance to the “holocaust” mythus. Any who refuse, or do not tick all the required boxes (or who question the narrative, either as a whole or in detail), will probably be barred from higher studies.
This is an anti-British, anti-European, anti-historical dictatorship, controlled by an alien element, and which tries to impose an intellectual straitjacket on both history and politics.
As Starmer admitted, the contrived historical narrative is increasingly failing to convince British people; they are not interested, and/or do not believe the narrative usually blasted out at them.

I hardly think you’re in any position to comment on anyone’s suitability for anything. This is you isn’t it? “a nominated judge found that Recorder Myerson’s behaviour amounted to #misconduct.”https://t.co/j1k4nlMQqB
Myerson did not take that “advice” (reprimand) of March 2024 on board, continued to post vituperative tweets etc, and was then, in effect, sacked earlier this year (June or July 2024) as a Recorder (p/t judge), though he was allowed to present it as “resignation”.
Now Myerson is implying in his tweets that the (Israeli) Jews were “clever” in their Lebanon pager-explosive operation.
As a matter of fact, I agree with Myerson as to that. It was clever. It was also very wicked, particularly in that something like 1,000 people other than the supposed Hezbollah personnel killed, were injured; most if not all were ordinary passers-by, shoppers etc.
Thank God that someone as unpleasantly nasty as Myerson, and so lacking in basic decency, is no longer able to sit in the seat of legal judgment over British and other people.
One can see why the Bench had to have Myerson removed. He was —and is— unfit to pronounce judgment on anyone.
Thanks. I will. As you mourn the terrorists you so admire. From a safe place of course – you’d not actually want to be near them. Sleep well. Leave your phone outside.
Perhaps the Bar Standards Board might like to take a look at Myerson. I am not usually in favour of free-speech restriction, but in this case it would be only just, Myerson having been one of the Jews who (as an active member of “UK Lawyers for Israel”) had me disbarred for having posted a few tweets long after I ceased to be a practising barrister: see
“Since the 2019 general election Keir Starmer has accepted more in entertainment perks, including hotel stays and holidays, than any other Member of Parliament”
Starmer poses as an ethical Prime Minister elected by a “landslide”, when in fact he is a totally corrupt freeloader, and his MPs “elected” by only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters, and by only 4 out of 12 actual voters.
Starmer has no mandate.

Exactly. It is easy to be bien-pensant when the only non-whites you ever meet are of the educated and/or intelligent, or pleasant, few; especially when, if you are John Major, you have VIP protection and security where you live and whenever you travel.
John Major was a disaster for this country I seem to remember. The Maastricht Treaty which he signed up to without consulting the electorate didn't help. I actually once met him, when he was a bus conductor.
That last tweet is a typical example of false memory (or maybe an outright lie): John Major never was a bus conductor. He did apply, and was accepted for the job provisionally, but was rejected because he was too tall. He therefore never worked as a bus conductor, and that tweeter could therefore never have met him in that role: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Major#Early_post-school_career_(1959%E2%80%931979)
Such false memory is actually quite common. The noted —but apparently not much liked— big businessman, “Tiny” Rowland [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Rowland] was said to have once worked as a porter at Paddington Station (Wikipedia does not mention it, but I believe Rowland did work there as a porter, though only very briefly, and in the early part of the Second World War, when he was about 20).
A friend of mine, a lady who often walked through Paddington Station from the early 1960s to the late 1980s, sometimes told me (in the 1980s), when Rowland was in the news, that she remembered him as a young man working as a porter at Paddington.
My old friend did not, I think, mean to lie, but she was mistaken, and had to be. If and when Rowland was briefly a station porter, it would have been around 1939 or 1940.
The lady I knew would have been still in her teens then, having been born in 1926. She had been born in East Prussia (on her family’s vast estate, or one of them), had attended the Sacre Coeur convent school in Paris for a year just before the Second World War, but was then a kind of hostage under NKVD control in the Soviet Union for 3 years, at first in a prison on a river island on the Kazakhstan-Russia border, then working briefly on a state farm before becoming a student-nurse. When she escaped from the Soviet Union in 1942, she was just 16. She was in Persia, and then British East Africa. She first visited London sometime in the late 1940s, but not for long.
In other words, my old friend could never have seen Rowland as a porter (assuming he ever was one), Rowland having been working in business in the City of London during the early/mid 1940s and then, from 1948, in the then Southern Rhodesia (the later Rhodesia and then Zimbabwe).
We often see false memory, not least in (mainly Jewish) recollections of life in Germany and Poland during the so-called “holocaust” years of the early/mid 1940s. It is often hard to say which of the hundreds, indeed thousands, of accounts are simply misremembrances and which are outright frauds, but both are very common.

… … while taking away winter fuel allowances for pensioners … and declaring the era of sleaze is over.”
I would urge anyone arrested, and (unlike that lady) charged with anything effectively “political”, to plead Not Guilty.
Force the System to attempt to prove the case, and force the politicized police and “Clown” Prosecution to spend time and resources on the matter, and so (in terms of time) “kick the can down the road”.
If you do that, the System drones may have to drop the case (in the case reported on, of course, it never got that far; she was never charged). If you plead Not Guilty, the case may only be tried after many months (and if heard in Crown Court, maybe even a couple of years).
True, if convicted after a trial, you may get a sentence notionally more severe than had you pleaded (Guilty) to the charge, but these politicized cases are now being treated absurdly and unfairly harshly anyway. As far as Crown Court cases are concerned, we have seen people sentenced to years of imprisonment for doing really not very much, while real (non-political) criminals are often getting very lenient punishment.
I am not so sure that, from the perspective of a “political” “criminal”, there is much difference between getting, say, 15 months in prison on a Not Guilty plea then resulting in conviction after a trial, and 10 months on a Guilty plea.
The “political” convict, often someone of previous good character, or at least “not so bad” character, ends up in prison anyway in the current climate, either way.
In terms of time, too, a 15 month sentence might translate to 6 months actually incarcerated (40% of 15 months), as compared to 4 months after a Guilty plea and a sentence of 10 months. Still extra time, of course.
There is also the point that a Not Guilty plea might pay off in terms of you, as defendant, being found Not Guilty on technical grounds by a magistrate/District Judge or on a (Crown Court) Judge’s direction. Or you might be found Not Guilty by a magistrate, or a Crown Court jury.
There is also the possibility that something may happen during the trial, esp. if in the Crown Court, to render the trial ineffective.
In cases where imprisonment is never likely to happen, there may be little difference between being found guilty after a trial and pleading Not Guilty ab initio.
In my own case, related here below, I would never have pleaded Guilty under any circumstances anyway. As it was, I very nearly got off on technical grounds at “half time” (at the close of the Prosecution case).
My trial continued, however, and I was pronounced guilty by the District Judge, though on slightly confused (in my opinion) grounds.
My sentence was firstly to pay the purely notional costs of the trial and also to pay a “victim surcharge” (just another impost), the two together adding up to £734. Secondly, I was to complete 15 “rehabilitation days” under the supervision of the Probation Service.
Of course, the Jew-Zionists of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], who had procured the case against me by suborning the police and CPS in my county of residence, and who pressured the CPS politically, and quite improperly, to prosecute me, were livid at the perceived “leniency” of the sentence, so much so that it took them days, in fact I believe 2-3 weeks, to respond on Twitter/X and their own website. I can just imagine them fuming and arguing about it.
Well, a few generous donors who read the blog sent just over a third of the financial penalty monies, via a crowdfunder I established; the rest I paid off (I still have one small-ish payment left to pay) on a monthly basis. Irritating but not too onerous.
As to the “15 rehabilitation days”, it turned out that each “day” was a meeting with the Probation Service, the meetings as short as 20 minutes in a couple of cases (though 3 or 4 such meetings did for some reason not count toward the 15).
There was no “rehabilitation day” as long as an actual day, or even half a day.
Until a few weeks ago, I thought that I had only done about 3 or 4 actual “rehabilitation days” (meetings) counting towards the 15. However, I was then told that, by reason of larger-scale events not connected with me personally, my “days” were finished and I would be (as I have now been) deemed to have completed the “15” days to which I was sentenced.
So there it is. The politicized police (our new poundshop Stasi) and the politicized CPS, apparently spent hundreds of hours, maybe even thousands of hours, “trawling through” (as the CPS put it) hundreds of blog posts. The costs in terms of police and CPS time must have been large. The CPS instructed outside Counsel to prosecute. That barrister made several appearance prior to trial, at trial, and after trial, when (briefed again by, shall we say, “the fat lady” singing) he made a doomed attempt both to restrict my freedom to blog and to make the sentence more severe (only to find that the sentencing judge agreed with me).
All that money and effort, taking well over a year by the end, not to mention Court time, and the only result was that I had to pay out a few hundred pounds and meet a (rather polite and charming) young Probation Service lady about 7 or 8 times.
Further to the above, of course a defendant can appeal a Guilty verdict. In my case, it was expedient not to do so, though I considered that I had a 50-50 chance of success.
I was never arrested, incidentally, just charged by postal requisition, and was on unconditional bail throughout the proceedings in court.
Naturally, I should never have been bothered by the police, let alone charged or prosecuted.
A fortiori, I should never have been convicted or sentenced, but there it is.
My own perception of my trial and sentence, and the aftermath:
Thoughts about “two-tier Keir”, two-tier “justice” etc
I often look at local newspapers online. Sometimes, you can get a better idea of where UK society is from those sources than you do from the national Press.
I just saw a few reports in the local Press, from several places in the south of England, which must surely stagger anyone who has observed the almost Stalinist sentences recently handed down to those who have been involved directly or indirectly in the recent protests or so-called “riots”.
Example: a mixed-race individual described as “a powerful thug” lost his jacket in a bar. He demanded that the barman find it. He then punched the barman and, despite other staff intervening, did so again. Door staff detained him after a struggle, the police arrived, and he then punched a policeman in the face. Previous offences of violence. Result? Non-custodial sentence.
Another example? “Traveller” (Irish tinker/”gypsy”) took police on a high-speed chase in a van. Much damage done, and some injury to members of the public. Tried to run off after he crashed. Uninsured. No driving licence. Multiple previous convictions. Result? Non-custodial sentence.
The recent sentencing for “political” or quasi-political “crimes” has mostly been a disgrace, and has actually shown up the System politicians, notably “two-tier” Keir, as being not strong (as they try to project) but fearful, and the System itself as brittle, without much resilience.
Incidentally, I was just thinking about that time, related in the New Testament, when Jesus Christ overturned the tables of the Jew moneychangers and did other “rebellious” actions, and scourged the moneychangers (at least symbolically):
And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Now obviously the motivation of Jesus Christ was not the same as those “rioting” or protesting in the UK recently, but it could yet be described as “ideological” and/or “rebellious”, and certainly His actions were not that different from those of some of the recent defendants sentenced to imprisonment for having shouted insulting words, overturned cars, assaulted policemen and others etc.
Admittedly, one cannot imagine Jesus Christ looting a sausage-roll shop…
I nearly forgot to add that the said “tinker”, mentioned above, was sentenced to a non-custodial sentence partly because “he had to support” (I wonder how, exactly?) no less than 7 children, with another expected shortly.

Chapter 1: Caroline Lucas claims there was no sense of English national identity until it was invented by the Tudors pic.twitter.com/jmoh16i8nb
Not entirely accurate, though not completely wrong either.
National identities across Europe developed, out of existing identities, in the earliest years of the 5th Post-Atlantean Age, that is, roughly, from 1400 AD.
Prior to that, someone might hold feudal power in more than one part of Europe, as the Plantagenet kings held sway in both England and parts of France.
The Renaissance recapitulated in a new way the 4th Post-Atantean Age (the Greco-Roman), and that 5th Age was at its beginning then. Joan of Arc was one major manifestation.
Once national identity strengthened, feudalism, with its system of fealty crossing other boundaries, waned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fealty.
In England, the influences of the new form of identity, national identity stricto sensu, slowly developed from that time. The Renaissance was slightly delayed in coming to England, having originated in Italy. Later, in the Tudor period (i.e. from 1485), a greater sense of national identity grew, but the same or similar was happening all over Europe, and had already started to happen in Switzerland, particularly.
So Caroline Lucas, though wrong in the specifics (the Tudors did not “invent” English national identity), is not totally wrong inasmuch as that identity, as we now understand it, was to a large extent initially the product of the Tudor period.

“A knifeman has left several people dead after stabbing random passersby in the neck in a horrific ‘terror attack’ at a diversity festival in Germany.
The ‘Festival of Diversity,’ marking the city’s 650th anniversary, began on Friday and was supposed to run through Sunday, with 80,000 people expected.“
[Daily Mail]
The nationality of the killer is not known as yet. Chances are that he is from the Middle East, South Asia, or Africa.
When was the last time a German or an Englishman went to, say, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen or similar ghastly country, attended a “diversity” festival, and stabbed random strangers who were keen to promote a multikulti society and were —no doubt— “refugees welcome” dimwits? Answer— never.
For one thing, the denizens of those countries do not want a “multicultural society” (it’s their way or the highway); they have no “diversity” or similar festivals. Secondly, Europeans just do not behave like that.
Wake up, Europe…for God’s sake.
We do not want these backward hordes on our continent.
I find myself wondering whether the surviving German attendees of the “diversity festival” have now come to a different point of view, as compared to a couple of days ago.
Having said all that, there are probably now more people stabbed to death in the UK, indeed in London alone, every day, and mostly, in fact almost entirely, by non-whites.
If a car crashes, and 3 or 4 people are killed, the matter will not be reported in the national Press unless there are newsworthy aspects. If, however, a light plane crashes in a field, killing 3 or 4 people, that is almost always reported in national newspapers, and maybe even on national TV. It’s a question of what people think important.
“Scientists are calling for a new analysis of the Shroud of Turin amid a seemingly growing body of evidence that challenges the idea it’s a fake.“
[Daily Mail]
Interesting. Of course, the Roman Catholic Church has never explicitly said that the Shroud is directly connected to the Crucifixion; the phrase used is that the Shroud is “an aid to faith.”

“Kennedy’s decision to withdraw from the swing states in favor of Trump completely changes the election landscape. After all, it is the situation in these states that will decide the fate of the presidential election. Kamala was ahead of Trump in the polls there by 1-3 percent almost everywhere. But now Kennedy’s electorate will go over to the former president, and that’s 5-6 percent. The Democrats are in trouble.“
I do not know enough about the nitty-gritty of the American electoral landscape to know whether this is the game-changer for Trump that is claimed, or not. Will Kennedy’s move favour Trump, or will his intending voters prefer Kamala Harris, or will that group be split? I just do not know.
On the face of it, it might favour Trump (and I really cannot see why anyone would vote for Kamala Harris as potential head of state and government, though that is not quite true— there are huge numbers of American blacks who will vote for her just because she is non-white, as there are huge numbers of women who will vote for her merely because she is a woman).

“More than 700 migrants cross the Channel to Britain in a single day.“
[France 24]
700. In a single day. So 700 migrant-invaders, all of which will now “have to be” sheltered, fed, given medical services, provided with cash etc. Call it £20,000 or more each per year, indefinitely. Then add costs of policing, courts, prison etc once some (if only a minority; so be it) start criminal activity. £30,000+ each per year. Overall, in conservative terms, Between £15M and £25M a year. That’s for ONE DAY’S CONTINGENT…
£25M that will now not be spent on British people, for British people’s health, welfare, transport, education, future.
I hate the traitors who enable this, from Starmer and Yvette Cooper (and most other Labour, LibDem and Con MPs) to the narcissistic, smug, allegedly or self-regardingly “well-meaning” idiots who hold up “refugees welcome” signs, tweet virtue-signalling nonsense, or oppose British people protesting about the evil.

Thankfully, the ridiculous Schauspiel for the masses called “the Olympics” largely passed me by (as usual), apart from my having seen video clips and photos of the “Satanic” (?) opening ceremony.
Of course, the “British” msm went crazy because the supposedly Brit team called “Team GB” won a few meaningless medals. Yawn.
The unlucky Ukrainian soldiers used in the Kursk incursion are, like all the Kiev-regime soldiery, being used by Zelensky’s evil regime as cannon-fodder. Dispensable. Many were press-ganged into service. Few if any now are volunteers.
As blogged previously, even were the Kiev regime forces to reach Kursk (city), the centre of the region, their extended lines would be vulnerable to both air (including missile) attack and also to flank attacks by armour and infantry. I also doubt whether the Kiev-regime forces can resupply an extended line of incursion for very long.
So far, it looks as though the forces of the Kiev regime have penetrated to a depth of about 20 miles from the border line.
“The Kursk offensive comes after weeks of Russian advances in the east, where a succession of villages have been captured by the Kremlin’s forces.” [BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crkm08rv5m0o].
Note that, until now, the “free” UK/US msm has not reported even in passing that the Russian forces are achieving victory in the south-east and east of Ukraine.
The Kiev-regime incursion may have reached a depth of about 30 miles in some areas, such as the Lezhinka area noted in the BBC report, but that is still a long way (maybe 50 miles) from the city of Kursk itself.
Kursk (city) is about 327 miles from Moscow.
The world-conquering armoured and other forces of the German Reich faltered amid the huge empty spaces of (even) European Russia in the early 1940s. How much more pointless and unlikely to succeed is this Kiev-regime incursion, with its unwilling and poorly-trained soldiers?
In the end, were Russian forces to have to fall back to Kursk (city), which I feel is highly unlikely anyway, the Russian “stavka” (high command) could use masses of advanced conventional weapons such as thermobaric missiles and bombs to completely annihilate the Kiev-regime advance.
Actually, I feel sorry for the Ukrainian soldiers (and their families), who are mere pawns in the corrupt evil game of the Jew Zelensky and his Kiev cabal.

“German expert: The maneuver in Kursk could mark the military end of Ukraine “
An attack on the Kursk area could lead to the military end of Ukraine, because its armed forces are inferior to the Russian army.
The Ukrainian brigades deployed in Donbass are quite worn out and were waiting to be replaced by new forces, which are now used to attack Kursk “, said Gustav Gressel in an interview for “Spiegel”.”
Senator Lindsey Graham hinted that Ukraine could attract retired American F-16 pilots, indirectly indicating that there are not enough Ukrainian pilots even for the limited number of F-16s declared for transfer to Kyiv pic.twitter.com/EOlaMcybvF
That Graham idiot is a complete Jewish-lobby/Israel lobby puppet, so his idea is not entirely unexpected.
I doubt that many retirement-age American pilots are desperate enough to want to fly for the Kiev regime, though. Even were the pay to be high, so is the chance of coming back to the USA in a body bag (if the pieces can be found). 20 years in the present version of the Gulag Archipelago is also rather uninviting.
I was slightly acquainted in 1996-1997 with a group of civilian American pilots in Kazakhstan, ex-Eastern Airlines, hired to fly the Kazakh President’s Boeing aircraft. Nice fellows, who had been cheated out of their pension in the U.S., but complete fish out of water in the post-Soviet and Russophone environment of Almaty. They could not even say hello or ask for a cup of coffee, and lived an isolated life in a dacha on the edge of town.

My view is that it would be better to raise the threshold to at least the £20,000 level, but increase the tax burden of VAT (overall). True, that would hit poorer people disproportionately, but at the same time would put the choice into their hands, in fact into the hands of all consumers. Basic purchases, such as food, or basic foodstuffs, could be charged out at a lower rate or rates, or zero-rated.

FINAL poll of campaign
Labour 36% Reform 20% Conservatives 16% Lib Dems 10% Greens 9% SNP 4%
That poll, by my use of Electoral Calculus, would result in a House of Commons with 454 Labour MPs (overall majority 258), 74 LibDems, 46 Cons, 34 Reform UK, 15 SNP, 4 Green (etc).
That People Polling opinion poll comes very close to my own (I hope, educated) guess about what might be the result of tomorrow’s General Election. Labour as “elected” (by default) dictatorship, LibDems the official but completely toothless Opposition (again only by default), and Reform UK in a good position to capitalize on what will soon be Labour’s total let-down as a government. Oh, and the SNP put back in its box, probably permanently.
As for the Conservative Party, if not totally wiped out on the day, mortally wounded.
I also tend to agree, as I have been blogging recently. “Shy Reform UK voters”, unwilling to share their tendency with pollsters, may add up to something significant, if they vote at all.
That means a House of Commons with 472 Labour MPs (overall majority 294), LibDems 69, Cons 63, SNP 15, Reform 6, Greens 3 (etc).
Once again, LibDems as official Opposition. About half the polls are predicting that the LibDems will get more MPs than the Cons. I imagine that large donors to the Conservative Party will close their pocketbooks soon. A party not in government and not even the main opposition party has little influence.

“This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember.
When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand. I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit… so Frank was gone.
Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return. How dare they do this to him. How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing.
After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive. So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result… Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain… Brilliant!!
He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see. It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no… the little guy can win. If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man.“

Many readers will be aware that I was put on trial in November 2023 for having supposedly published 5 “grossly offensive” items on this blog; 5 items within 5 pages (5 days’ posts). 5 blog posts out of, at the time, about 1,700. I was sentenced in March 2024.
The background of that is known to some but not all readers. I therefore offer the following blog pages as explanation (obviously, I cannot republish or link to the 5 blog posts which were determined by the Court to have been, or to have contained material, “grossly offensive“, so here are 5 others).
I should add that, while 5 blog posts were determined, in the magistrates’ court, to have contained “grossly offensive” material (in fact, in my opinion, largely innocuous comments and cartoons), the material in question was tiny in amount, about 2% of each blog post, if that. In fact, only a few sentences allegedly written by me were specifically mentioned in the judgment.
As previously mentioned on the blog, I am perforce far more diplomatic now on the blog than I was a few years ago, but how sad it is that this country that, arguably more than any other bar the USA, championed free speech for so long, should fall victim to this kind of sub-“Stasi“, poundshop KGB-ism, with the Clown Prosecution Service and police falling over themselves to placate the Israel lobby.
Labour leader Keir Flip-flop (Starmer) is the personification of the Norman Wisdom character, the clueless teaboy or whatever, who suddenly wins the lottery (or, in those 1950s days, the football pools). Starmer is about to become an “elected” dictator, despite most people despising, disliking or distrusting him.
Look, though, at what the Conservative Party now is. We are told that, if they survive the election, the leading contenders for the leadership position will probably be Kemi Badenoch (Nigerian), Priti Patel (East African Asian, and Israeli agent), James Cleverly (half-caste West Indian/British), and Suella Braverman (Mauritian Indian). All members of Conservative Friends of Israel, too.
Need one even comment?
[Update, 1 December 2024: Erratum— James Cleverly’s father was African, not (as I said, mistakenly) West Indian].
We are told, also, that the polls say that 20% of eligible voters have not even decided whether they will vote at all, and are also undecided as to which way they might cast their votes if they do vote. Do we take it that many of those will simply abstain? Will they vote simply as protest? Uncertain.
It could just be that those “undecideds” will vote, will want to vote as protest, and so will mostly vote Reform UK. Were that to happen, it really would put the cat among the pigeons.
The fact is that the Conservatives are in deep trouble anyway, that the mere existence of Reform UK has deepened that existing trouble, and that, even at a nationwide 15%-19% (as per recent polls), Reform UK, while perhaps only getting a few seats, would spell doom for the Conservative Party. Which is why the msm is now going crazy trying to demonize Farage and his latest party.
If Reform UK actually scores above 20%, then game on. If the existing ~18% is boosted by another 5 or 10 points, then UK politics will have received a meteorite hit, and will never be the same again. Were Reform UK to get 28% of the national vote, that might mean 80-90 Commons seats, and Reform UK would be the official Opposition.
That may seem impossible or crazy, and it may not happen, but the exciting thing is that it actually could happen. You cannot compare Reform UK in 2024 to Brexit Party in 2019, or UKIP in 2015.
This time, the Cons are going to go down really badly. More importantly, there is a perception this time that to vote Reform UK is not a mere protest vote, but a protest vote that really could accomplish something concrete— the utter destruction of the Conservative Party for a start.
I do not know whether Reform UK will manage to get beyond its present 15%-19% range, and/or get as high as 28%, but it just might.

Britain has not had anything approaching such a statesman for a very very long time.
Not that I approve of everything Putin has done within Russia itself, and Russian society still does not have an ideology capable of consigning to the past Western finance-capitalism, the mainly Jewish (but also Russian-criminal) “bandit capitalism” of the past 30+ years, and the former harsh Marxist-Leninist ethos, out of which the “bandit capitalism” emerged.
Still, as a transitional but very significant political power-holder, Putin must be supported as far as necessary, as a bulwark against various poisonous and contending elements in the world.

The policy is working so well as a deterrent that, even in the past couple of days, about 2,000 more migrant-invaders have entered the UK via the English Channel, ferried in by the RNLI and Border Farce.
All the System parties talk about “smuggling gangs”, but the smugglers could, in principle, be dealt with easily enough by special forces undercover. Dealt with. Just dealt with. The necessity is to deter or stop the migrant-invaders themselves, to close down the “small boats” cross-Channel route, and to protect both our borders and the future of our people.
#BBCLauraK Laura Kuenssberg failed to mention Craig Williams mate of RISHI SUNAK admitted to Betting 1OO quid on the Date of the Election He is allowing him still to stand as a Candidate HOW SHOCKING pic.twitter.com/KVRqfG6Cna
Not a very impressive candidate anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Williams_(British_politician). 39 years old. His only non-political job was as a director of Cardiff Bus, a municipal bus service company owned by Cardiff Council; Williams was a councillor and on the relevant Council committee at the time. What a boondoggle.
Williams has been an MP since 2015, but lost his previous seat to Labour in 2017 and was then elected for another constituency in 2019. That constituency has now been abolished, and redrawn into the new constituency of Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr.
On the previous boundaries, the area was quite solidly LibDem until 2010, when the egregious Lembit Opik managed to ruin his political career by making plainly freeloading expenses claims and by playing around with young Romanian pop singers called the Cheeky Girls: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lembit_%C3%96pik.
While one might have expected Williams to continue the run of Conservative Party successes in the now-redrawn seat, the plunging popularity of the party, combined with Williams having tried to make an illicit profit by betting on the election date while obviously having inside information, may make him unelectable. We shall see.
The new constituency is being contested by Con, Lab, LibDem, Green, Plaid Cymru and, perhaps most interestingly, Reform UK.
Obviously, I have no idea how Reform UK will perform, and it may be that the LibDems have the best chance of getting rid of Williams, but if (a big if, as they say), Reform were to take half of the otherwise Con vote, then either Reform or the LibDems might succeed.
On the wider point, had something like this betting scandal occurred in, say, 1994, or 1984, let alone 1974 or 1964, the person implicated would have been expected to step down either as candidate or, later, as MP (if re-elected). The slide in integrity and honour in British politics is palpable. The bastard seems to be intent on riding it out, and hoping to get away with it.

White South Africans should never have given in to the ANC. They should have held out and fought on. In fact, they should have “doubled down” on everything.
After the fall of socialism from 1989, the Soviet Union all but collapsed, the DDR/East Germany imploded, Cuba suddenly became visibly what Soviet aid had disguised for 20+ years, i.e. a ramshackle Caribbean/Latin American dictatorship, and the African countries bordering South Africa fell even deeper into poverty, civil upheaval, corruption and crime.
In other words, the ANC and its “military”/terror wing would have had no means to carry on much of a war. If South Africa had held on, and had accelerated its plans for a kind of “Federation”, including some areas with African domestic autonomy, and had the white South Africans closed down most of the —mostly Jewish-owned— English-language newspapers (and TV), there would have been a kind of victory, or at least not the terrible situation that has developed in the past 30 years.
South Africa had, or was developing, advanced weaponry: nuclear, biological etc.
The Africans were, in effect, told that the reason most of them were poor was because the white man was, usually, richer. After “majority rule” (corrupt African crony rule) that would of course be different. The ANC failed, and inevitably failed, to deliver. Hence the African masses, their lives as bad or worse than under National Party apartheid rule, now turn to ever more extreme demagogues. The future seems bleak, both for most Africans and most of the remaining white South Africans, some of whom can trace their South African identity back to the 17thC.

OK, so as I’m reading this, Labour are saying that they want those who CAN work to do so. I’m not seeing anything here about enforcement of Disabled & Sick like with Tories. I believe opportunities may be more of the policy here. Sounds a lot fairer.
What would (those Hitler called) “dirty democratic politicians” (and parties) do without mugs such as tweeter “@BoudicaWitch”?
There is no real difference between what fake Labour is saying and what Iain Dunce Duncan Smith was saying from 2010-2015. Wake up, for God’s sake.
Yes I'd hope so. My assessment is there's a sufficient number of backbenchers who will oppose plans that are too draconian. Still, the noises from Labour are *not* comforting and appointing Liz Kendall as W&P sec. was definitely sending a message.
Utter mugs. “Labour” is just a label now (like “Conservative”). Both parties are NWO/ZOG fronts. That “assessment” by tweeter “@RattusMalumus” is not an assessment at all but a pathetic grasping at straws.
Kendall has made clear the strategy for increasing the Disabled workforce is hiring mental health therapists to deliver privatised CBT. Will there be sanctions for any disabled person whose impairments are not helped by that approach?

“A police officer and his wife have been jailed after sharing video footage of a dead body at a murder scene.
Cameron Lee Hanson, 33, was a serving officer at Lancashire Constabulary when he visited a home in October 2021 and discovered the body of 45-year-old James O’Hara. Hanson’s body-worn camera recorded the chilling scene at the property in Lancashire.
But minutes later, he used his personal phone to take videos of Mr O’Hara and sent audio messages about the incident to his wife, Kirstie Hanson, 33, a police civilian work.
On Thursday, Cameron Hanson was jailed for 32 months, while Kirstie Hanson was jailed for 18 months. Charlotte Riley, who was sent one of the videos, received a 12-month sentence suspended for two years. Last April, Michael Hannan, 32, was jailed at Preston Crown Court for five years and four months for the manslaughter of Mr O’Hara who he punched in an unprovoked stranger attack.“
[Daily Mirror].
How absurd is the UK now? Yes, the defendants should not have done it. By all means sack the policeman, and maybe fine him, and his wife, and even the woman who was sent the material… but prison? Seems almost ridiculously harsh, as does the term imposed— a headline 32 months for sending some video footage, as against 64 months for the defendant who actually killed the victim!

In my own local zone, I should say that, in 2020-2022, and out of a close field, the “social distancing” outside Waitrose was the most absurd, all the compliant idiots (or were they secretly rebellious, as in North Korea?) lining up, 6 feet apart in the car park, monitored by self-important “security” nobodies. Oh…and muzzled (facemasked) as well.
Meanwhile, inside Waitrose, no social distancing, and a ludicrous “one way system” for shoppers. As for the facemask muzzles, the only real utility of them was probably for the shoplifters, who probably found them useful in defeating cctv operators etc.
Oh, yes…another aspect of that madness of a few years ago, locally, was the pub opposite Waitrose, where no social distancing, and no facemask muzzle “rules”, applied. What a farce the whole “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic was!

The Americans got “here”, or there, by allowing “the usual suspects” to become embedded in their society over time, embedded in positions of power and influence.
When all the “experts” spent 3 months telling us masks were useless and then immediately all universally changed their mind overnight.
“Rishi Sunak has been given a glimmer of hope as a major new poll by Lord Ashcroft suggests that more than half of voters have yet to definitively make up their minds.
With less than five weeks until the General Election, the research shared exclusively with the Daily Mail found only four in ten have ‘definitely decided’ how to vote.
But in a sign of the mountain the Tories still have to climb, the poll gives Labour a 23 point lead.
Overall, it puts Labour on a 47 per cent vote share, with the Tories on 24 per cent, and Reform UK on 11 per cent.”
Assuming honesty and relative accuracy of the poll, several points stand out for me.
Firstly, that this poll is not at all the “glimmer of hope” for Sunak and the Cons that the report accompanying it is spinning.
42% have “definitely decided” which way they are going to vote. Looking at recent polling elsewhere, that must greatly favour Labour. As for “...leaning towards a party” but “not definitely sure“, that could apply to any of the parties, but if most end up with Labour, then it is possible that Lab could end up, overall, topping 50%, leaving the Cons with a MP cadre in the single figures.
It might also mean, thinking of my previous speculation on the blog, that there are more people than polls suggest willing to vote Reform UK, if only as a protest, or as a method of giving the time-expired Conservative Party a kicking without having to vote Labour. “Secret” Reform UK voters. Do they even exist? We do not know. I think that they may exist, but in what numbers?
Anything up to 31% of eligible voters may not vote, it seems.
One big unanswered question is how many under-40s and especially under-25s will bother to vote, they being heavily pro-Labour.
On the other hand, the over-70s are the only age demographic more likely to vote Con than Lab. If significant numbers either vote Labour (unlikely) or Reform UK (much more likely) or simply abstain (not unlikely) then Sunak and the Cons really are in trouble.
Other takeaways include the fact (if it is a fact) that only 23% think that Sunak etc can do better than others at “running the economy” (Lab 37%; Don’t Know 39%, tellingly). For a Prime Minister with a banking and financial/business background, and who was, not so long ago, Chancellor of the Exchequer, that is very much a thumbs-down.
The voters’ assessments of the characters of Sunak and Starmer are not so very different.
Sunak is assessed by only 8% as being “up to the job“, while only 12% assess him as even being “competent“. That’s damning. (Starmer’s equivalent ratings were 18% and 21%, scarcely a ringing endorsement, but still far better than Sunak).
Ashford’s poll figures, fed into Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] suggest a result of Labour MPs 513, Cons 71, LibDems 31, SNP 12, Greens 2, Plaid 3, Reform 0, Northern Irish 18.
Very very bad for the Conservative Party, but not quite existentially so..
On that basis, there would still be a considerable Con bloc of 71 MPs, and the Cons would still be the official Opposition, however ineffective.
My own feeling, whether it be right or wrong, is still that the Cons may be reduced to below 50 MPs, and that the LibDems may exceed that by default (tactical voting), thus making the LibDems the Opposition in the Commons.
If that were to occur, the defeat would be existential for the Cons. No “bright young” (mostly idiot) careerists (think Liz Truss, once upon a time…) would want to join, and big donors would not bother to pump money into funding the Cons. A “death spiral”, as people say.

If Country A sells or, even worse, gives Country B arms and ammunition, and especially if that is with the express intent that Country B should attack the territory of Country C, then that is pretty close to being an act of war by Country A against Country C.

“Perhaps there isn’t any such thing as the Israel lobby. Perhaps Israel is the only country on the planet without dedicated lobbyists. Perhaps organisations like We Believe in Israel, the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre, and both the Labour and Conservative Friends of Israel, simply don’t exist.
Perhaps it’s simply untrue to say that people who are critical of Israel online, or supportive of Palestine, are bombarded by hostile replies from pro-Israel accounts.
Or perhaps, there’s a concerted effort by Israel’s advocates to warp and distort the definition of antisemitism to make it impossible to describe their activities. Was Faiza Shaheen wrong to apologise? I can understand why she did it. But nobody should have to apologise for liking a plain statement of fact.“
Perhaps I imagined the evidence which clearly showed supporters of Israel working together to get information on me.
Perhaps I imagined them publishing confidential and dangerously defamatory information about me.
One of the unreliable witnesses for the losing defendants in that case was Simon Myerson, a barrister and Recorder (p/t judge). Others (all Zionist Jews) were likewise not given much if any credence by the trial judge.
If we are keeping count, I think Myerson has inferred, and then implied publicly, that both you and I were somehow responsible for Dr Newbon’s suicide.
Myerson is also a judge. Is it normal for judges to imply such things publicly? Or is it really weird behaviour?
It’s interesting isn’t it. It worries me going to some jobs and hearing “Last time I had an ambulance out, they were horrible to me”. Obviously, perceptions differ, but being understanding and showing kindness is the very least we can do.

As I predicted on the blog recently. Not only are even the maximum numbers, as planned, pathetic compared to the numbers actually entering the UK (even “illegally”) but there is no guarantee that Rwanda government policy will not change, or the government be replaced by one unwilling to continue the agreement.
In any case, once Labour replaces the Conservative Party as UK Government, sometime within the next 8 months, the Rwanda idea will end up where it always was going to end up— in the dustbin.

Where Goodwin goes wrong is in assuming that the Rwanda “plan” is workable, whereas, even if, on its premises, it were to work perfectly, and so be the means of deporting all “illegal” migrant-invaders, it would not touch those “processed” and then allowed to stay, and they are the vast majority of the illegals processed at present.
Neither would the Rwanda plan touch the “legal” immigrants (and they are 20x the number of the “illegals”), meaning that the net result of the Rwanda “plan”, even if it were to work perfectly, would be that about 1% of all immigrants arriving at present might be deported.
The puzzle is, not so much that the Rwanda “plan” is being pushed by the present doomed government party, but that Matt Goodwin is also pushing it, and Farage, and Reform UK. Some kind of “controlled opposition” scam, yet again, as seen with both UKIP and Brexit Party, the idea being to forestall any real potential social-national upsurge.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend’s purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I’d like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn’t expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. my girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan ..
She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head … isn’t it?!
I know it probably wasn’t fun walking back to wherever you’d come from with crap in your pants. I’m sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].
After I called your mother or “Momma” as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you’d done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, — on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go’s, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!] I then threw your wallet into the big pink “pimp mobile” that was parked at the curb ….. after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver’s side of the car.
Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA’s office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target. The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you … but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you’ve chosen to pursue in life.. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours, Semper Fi...”
Made me laugh, true or not.
First speech about the Kalergi Plan in ANY Parliament. My speech in Brussels more than ten years ago! Now perhaps the most watched speech ever made in English in the belly of the EuroBeast.#greatreplacementpic.twitter.com/cEJtaErHYg
I'm working on a book of heroes of the English-speaking world. I want to include #Rhodesian Selous Scout Chris Schulenburg. If anyone can provide me with enough info for a 2,000 word summary of his amazing military feats against the terrs, I would be very grateful. RT please! pic.twitter.com/ocHCLUn5rF
There is an account of this officer’s heroic exploits in Colonel Ron Reid Daly’s book about the regiment he, Colonel Daly, commanded— Selous Scouts: Top Secret War
I expect that Griffin is already aware of the above, but if any readers of the blog are in contact with him, feel free to suggest the book. Unfortunately, it is not cheap, at about £55 a used copy. I think I have a copy somewhere; I always did have.
Under International Humanitarian Law Egypt has a DUTY to provide temporary housing for Gazans so stop blaming Israel. Blame Hamas, your warlords. Why did U remain in a terror state? I would have left when u voted Hamas in. https://t.co/dPPwFbzCS4
Smug Jewish woman living in South-East England blames the victim of Israeli-Jewish state terrorism for the said Palestinian civilian victim having been made homeless.
According to the Jewish woman, Israel cannot be blamed. After all, all it has done is use advanced weaponry such as missiles to destroy the homes of about a million people, and kill tens of thousands, mostly women and children.
Why should Jews in Israel (or those in the UK who support the Gaza “operation”) be blamed for that? Puzzling, nicht wahr?
Naturally, the Palestinian Arab civilians are themselves to blame if Israeli forces have killed or wounded them, and/or destroyed their homes…to say anything else would probably be called “antisemitic“…
MiningWatch Canada is estimating that “[Three] billion tons of mined metals and minerals will be needed to power the energy transition” – a “massive” increase especially for six critical minerals: lithium, graphite, copper, cobalt, nickel and rare earth minerals
Mining requires the extraction of solid ores, often after removing vast amounts of overlying rock. Then the ore must be processed, creating an enormous quantity of waste – about 100 billion tonnes a year, more than any other human-made waste stream.
18,740 pounds of purified rock to produce 2.2 pounds of vanadium 35,275 pounds of ore for 2.2 pounds of cerium 110,230 pounds of rock for 2.2 pounds of gallium 2,645,550 pounds of ore to get 2.2 pounds of lutecium Also staggering amounts of ore are needed for other metals.
The potential demand for rare metals is exponential. We are already consuming over two billion tonnes of metals every year — the equivalent of more than 500 Eiffel Towers a day.
As rare metals have become ubiquitous in green and digital technologies, the exceedingly toxic sludge they produce has been contaminating water, soil, the atmosphere, and the flames of blast furnaces.
I have seen the destruction of mountains, lakes and pristine waterways all in the name of #GreenEnergy. A recent report by the Blacksmith Institute identifies the mining industry as the second-most-polluting industry in the world. Soon to be Number # 1 Why? Green energy.
Wind turbines guzzle more raw materials than previous technologies: ‘For an equivalent installed capacity, solar and wind facilities require up to 15 times more concrete, 90 times more aluminum, and 50 times more iron, copper, and glass than fossil fuels or nuclear energy.
If you’ve gotten this far still believing that renewables are clean and green, well, I have a bridge to sell you. We thought we could free ourselves from the shortages, tensions, and crises created by our appetite for oil and coal.
"There's little mass public enthusiasm for Starmer’s Labour which is often enjoying an upsurge of support because many Brits are staying at home, turning away from politics & hunkering down, no longer believing anybody has the answer to Britain’s problems"https://t.co/SpatdyMnN4
Labour is not yet as strong as its supporters think. Still only 28% of Brits think the party’s competent. Only 31% think it's united. Only 19% think it's strong. Yes, Brits will reject the Tories. But they remain wary about Labour"https://t.co/SpatdyMnN4
People are totally sick and tired of the “Conservative” Party, and cannot wait to stamp on it. Labour has very little real support, but is preferred by default. The expected near wipeout of the Conservative Party will happen (I believe), but once it has happened, the same problems will confront this country, and Labour, under Jewish/Israel puppet Starmer, has no answers.
At present it looks as though Starmer-Labour will continue to give unbridled support to the Israeli state and the UK Jewish lobby, continue to support the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, and fail to stop the migration-invasion (but will simply rubberstamp “applications” so the invasion does not continue to make the news broadcasts or the front pages of the popular Press).
The expected Labour “elected” dictatorship will also crack down even more on free speech in the UK.

“Kyiv’s indifference to dead soldiers undermines the morale of Ukrainians The number of dead Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers is so great that their remains cannot be identified.
n February, Zelensky announced Ukrainian Armed Forces losses of 31,000 people, but US estimates put the number much higher, with about 70,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed by August last year.
Many of those listed as missing were captured by Russian troops. However, most died and have not yet been identified. This hits the already undermined morale of Ukraine, according to the West.
Discontent among the civilian population is growing. Last October, a major protest took place in Kyiv. Relatives of soldiers demand answers from the authorities. Confirming a death is especially problematic when Ukrainian officials do not have a body, but even when they do, it can be a long and arduous process. DNA testing is patchy. Relatives are trying to get around the bureaucracy. They go from morgue to morgue, sometimes with the help of volunteers, examining bodies and trying to identify them first from photographs and then asking relevant family members for genetic samples. And even if they have proof of death, they face a trial and wait for a decision of two to six months. The authorities are delaying the process. After all, if the fact of death is established, they have to pay the family of the deceased 15 million hryvnia, or about $386,000 in installments, writes the New York Times.“
