Saturday quiz

Well, this week another narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul— 4/10, as against Rentoul’s 3/10.

I knew the answers to questions 1, 4, 7, and 9. I could not remember the answer to question 6, did not think long enough to get question 3, and had no idea about the most of the others; question 5 has several possible answers (though one stands out, I now know); the instrument I guessed was one of the (4 or 5) musical instruments Marie Antoinette played, though not the one wanted by the quizmaster, it seems, so I have not awarded myself that one.

A few extra thoughts about Mandelson, Epstein, and the whole Jew-lobby scandal at and around Starmer-stein’s government

First thought: saw Gordon Brown on TV news lamenting about it all, and excoriating Mandelson. Well, OK, but you, Brown, you loony and hypocrite, knew all about his general sleaziness, his sexual proclivities, his activities in London youth clubs etc, going back as far as the 1970s, and his willingness to cheat and scheme to make money, as with his mortgage and loan and property activities in the late 1990s, which activities in fact attracted the attention of the police at the time, until their investigation was interfered with, and they were warned off.

Second thought: how useless is MI5, that they seem either to have been unaware of the Mandelson and Epstein connection or, far more likely, were unwilling to rock the political boat? Same goes for SIS, incidentally.

Third thought: so Jews conspired to make money illicitly? Quelle surprise… oh, no, wait…

Amazing. It took humanity unknown ages, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to come up with that. Now it is known, it must not be forgotten.

As I blogged years ago, about 5 years ago, Starmer (to my then slight surprise) turned out to be utterly clueless.

Not many lawyers in the modern era are much good as politicians, though I suppose one could reference Lenin. Or Castro [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Castro#Career_in_law_and_politics:_1950%E2%80%931952]. A few others too, maybe.

Some might include Mandela, but he was never really a lawyer, just a “gopher” in a law firm for a while, until awarded a law degree on the nod while a celebrity prisoner in the 1980s, and aged about 70. He had failed his law degree three times in the late 1940s, when about 30 years old.

As for Starmer-stein, Matt Goodwin and Reform UK must be loving this heady mixture of cluelessness and corruption in the present fake “Labour” government. Only 17 days until the Gorton and Denton by-election.

Many will later turn to social national politics.

I blogged previously that all three leading contenders might score around 30%, leading to a very close result. Were Labour to win by a small margin, that would still be a negative sign, because Labour scored 50.8% there only last year.

Anti-Reform tactical voters will have to decide which party is more likely to be able to defeat Reform. Either Labour or the Greens. Polls presently put Labour ahead of the Greens, but that may not reflect feeling among those actually going to vote.

Reform is still slightly ahead in the opinion polling at Gorton and Denton, but it is hard to say where the voters will be by 26 February, the polling day. I begin to think that the Labour vote might collapse, by reason of abstention as much as via defection. That might or not boost the Green vote, but would probably lead to a Reform triumph.

I blogged about Carns yesterday. Someone who would go down well with the public, on first showing, and because of his background, but who is an unknown quantity ideologically.

Ex-officers usually disappoint as MPs. Examples from recent years would include Dan Jarvis and Johnny Mercer.

Well, we shall see.

Trump is all over the place, from one day to the next.

The very slow but inexorable advance continues along much of the overall front. There are no Kiev-regime advances, and have not been for at least a year or so.

[“I was born in Woking, Surrey, less than a mile from the site of the Shah Jahan mosque, the first built in Britain. Growing up in Woking my friends and I soon learnt that the Pakistani community acted differently to us. They operated like a clan, like a gang. If you crossed one, you would find a dozen brothers and cousins waiting for you outside the school gates. As English people who had small, quite independent families, this clan loyalty and mindset was nearly impossible to contend with. ‘Turn the other cheek’ my mother used to say. Never easy though when you’ve seen your friend have his teeth kicked in by a mob for a minor instance of perceived disrespect. We used to play pool at the Planets in Woking town centre after school, however it wasn’t long before this was taken over by the Pakistani clans from Maybury. They’d pelt us with pool balls and intimidate us to leave. It was their territory now. So spare me your victimhood @sajidjavid.”]

I blogged, years ago, about the attack in New Zealand carried out by Brenton Tarrant in 2019. In that blog post, I mentioned, in passing, that mosque in Woking (which you can see from the train):

Ah. Just what I wondered about earlier in the day.

Starmer-stein is a real office-politics tiger, isn’t he? Useless at anything else.

I see many tweets and other online comments about the supposed “Ukrainian rent boys”, their alleged connection with Starmer-stein, and their delayed trials. I wonder what might be the truth about all that…

…and the same [kind of] police pretend to be terribly shocked when tasked with bothering social-national bloggers such as myself, or satirical singers such as Alison Chabloz, or public speakers such as Jez Turner (etc).

One begins to wonder whether there is much point in even having a police force of the kind the UK now has. Like so many long-established UK institutions (Monarchy, the Bar, the Church of England, the ancient universities, SIS, MI5, Parliament, the NHS etc), the police need “a revaluation of all values“.

Late tweets

It’s almost as if Adolf Hitler and others were right after all…

As for sleazy Alastair Campbell, what his tweet tells me is that he, and all the other Labourite drones, are getting very desperate. As if it really matters that Reform in Gorton and Denton may have sent out a few leaflets without the correct labelling.

The Jew Mandelson “very greedy” and “always looking for money“? Well, who would have thought it?

Maybe I should relocate to Hungary, which at least will not be directly targeted in any nuclear exchange. I rather liked the lakeside suite I had in 2001, with its direct access to the gardens and lake (Balaton). I swam in the lake, and enjoyed an evening palinka (or two).

[“Iran has prepared a large-scale plan to counter the US armed forces and pressure on the global economy. According to the Tasnim agency affiliated with the IRGC, within a few hours after a possible US attack, Iran will launch massive strikes with ballistic missiles and drones on US military facilities throughout the region, expanding the conflict zone beyond its borders.

Tehran also relies on its cyberwar capabilities – attacks on US logistics, disruptions in the command and control system, and creating chaos among countries hosting American forces. The IRGC’s naval forces have been practicing the “swarm” tactic – attacks by small boats equipped with missiles and torpedoes to overload and suppress large warships. Blocking the Strait of Hormuz could lead to an increase in oil prices above $200 per barrel, which would cause serious damage to the global economy and increase pressure on Washington.

Hossein Shariatmadari stated that Iran could block the passage of American, French, British, and German ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s strategic goal is to create an unstable multi-front confrontation for the US, forcing American forces to simultaneously face pressure in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and potentially in Syria, while protecting its allies in the Persian Gulf and ensuring the safety of sea routes.“]

Were I the Iranian leadership, I should think that all Iran’s missiles should be targeted on Israel, focussing on a few main targets— Dimona, Ben-Gurion Airport, central Tel Aviv and affluent areas in that region, such as Ra’anana and Herzliya.

Still, it’s their party…

Saturday quiz

Well, this week 7/10, thus beating, again, political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10.

I did not know the answer to question 2 and also (had forgotten, really) the answers to questions 7 and 9.

Thoughts about Brize Norton and Palestine Action etc

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jun/20/palestine-action-to-be-banned-after-vandalising-planes-at-raf-base

So Yvette Cooper, the would-be dictator, Labour Friends of Israel puppet, and expenses fraudster, currently posing as Home Secretary, will probably ban Palestine Action. Pretty silly.

For one thing, this seems to have been decided not because a couple of activists vandalized RAF planes by daubing graffiti, but because they have made the RAF, the woman “commander” of that base, SERCO (who apparently provided the outsourced and in fact non-existent “security”, no doubt at a high price), and the Government, look very very silly.

Had there been even one dozy military policeman on duty and doing his duty, the protesters could have been told to get lost, or been arrested before they got anywhere near those planes.

This was not “terrorism” but fairly standard protest of the “action directe” type. The action that makes sense would be to actually have proper security on Britain’s few remaining RAF bases, and not to label a small protest group “terrorist”; which will, in any case, only drive the situation underground, I should imagine.

In the 1930s, both the Soviet Union and National Socialist Germany allowed tourism, in the case of Germany free individual travel as well as group tours, in the Soviet Union mostly escorted and tightly-monitored group travel. Where they differed more was in the reverse situation: the German authorities were happy to let their citizens travel, knowing that few if any countries in the world would eclipse Germany under Hitler in terms of lifestyle, facilities etc. In the Soviet Union, of course, only the approved few were allowed out to tour foreign countries.

Sardonic?

The treacherous ones should be punished.

Kent Council is refusing point blank any analysis of the (anonymised) data.

I wonder why?

There is much, much more to reveal about just how much Kent Council is taking advantage of taxpayers.“]

Good grief. Shocking. Even worse than I should have imagined.

British/English people, most of them, are not having children. Those that do have children are restricting the number to one or two, for the most part. Not enough. Below replacement-level.

We need to have a bloc, however small, of English ethno-national people, even if most of them are “non-political”— that does not really matter, in the big scheme of things. A basis for the foundation of a later people who in turn can be a foundation for a super-race, a quantum-leap in human evolution.

Talking point

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_threefolding:

Social threefolding aims to foster:

  • equality and democracy in political life,
  • freedom in cultural life (art, science, religion, education, the media), and
  • uncoerced cooperation in a freely contractual economic life.”

[Wikipedia].

A template for a civilized society.

The society, though, must be European.

Talking point

It is not, for me, a question of “hating” non-whites, but of providing a platform for the evolution of consciousness, for the eventual development of what might be called a “super-race”, in the sense of a people whose capacities would be seen by us, today, as “superhuman”.

Only the European people, speaking ethnically, can provide that platform and foundation for the later development. That is why we must oppose importation of non-whites into Europe, not because we “hate” them as such but because, primarily, their presence in Europe makes more likely a mixed-race population, which would make further evolution impossible.”

Councils housing 10x more migrant-invaders than British people

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14794189/homeless-asylum-seekers-analysis-interactive.html

Seventeen councils are accommodating up to 10 times more asylum seekers than homeless people, analysis suggests.

The biggest disparity was seemingly in Pendle, a borough inside Reform’s newly-gained Lancashire authority.

Latest Government data shows 453 asylum seekers are being housed in Pendle. In contrast, only nine homeless households are in temporary accommodation.

[Daily Mail]

One wonders how long Britain can accept 500-1,000 migrant-invaders every single day without either civil/social/race/culture war breaking out, or society just gradually (or perhaps suddenly) collapsing.

We need national revolution.

When I lived in Devon and Cornwall (both, first in a large country house in Cornwall, then in a farmhouse in Devon), I would see badgers at night quite often; sometimes, on the Devon side of the Tamar, I would drive down an almost unused single-track lane at night which was a back-lane off a back-lane. Badgers would be there, unafraid of the car because they rarely saw one, and would mass ahead of the car, about ten at a time. I would have to wait until they deigned to move aside. Lovely creatures. I cannot understand why backward cruel people sometimes hunt and kill them, but then Marx did talk about “rural idiocy“…

Yes to that. These days, very common errors.

Stunning.

Exactly right, as I have blogged both recently and in the past. We know that that will not happen, though.

As usual, the (Israeli) Jews thought they were so clever making that sneak attack on Iran, but now look— not only have they not (yet?) subdued Iran, but Tel Aviv, their “window on the world” and second-largest city, lies in ruins, much of it anyway. Tourism is dead, investment is dead, trade and commerce is all but dead, and Iran still has thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of missiles, and untold numbers of drones, while Israel is running out of defensive missiles, we are told.

The damage is so bad that anyone photographing it, or posting photos online, is subject to arrest.

Meanwhile, those Jews who can, are fleeing.

All System parties and politicians in the UK, and the rest of Europe, and even beyond (e.g. Australia, New Zealand) are guilty.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12342491/Controversial-plan-relocate-English-National-Opera-outside-London-postponed-three-years-Arts-Council-gives-2029-move.html

How ridiculous, to move a successful company like English National Opera out of its long-established home to some provincial centre.

Most countries concentrate their cultural treasures in terms of opera, ballet etc in one city, usually the national capital, a concentration of cultural forces. Moscow, Paris, etc. Not all, but the exceptions are countries which were only unified (or created) in the 19thC (Germany and Italy, the USA).

By all means tour around the UK, but base yourself in London. Also, the concentration of cultural companies in London leads to cross-fertilization of the arts.

The most important thing is to keep a bloc of white Northern Europeans intact, because that bloc can be the foundation for a later “super-race”, one far ahead of where we are now. That foundation has to be “post-Aryan” and white European; the other races and groups cannot provide such a foundation. The later “super-race” will be a quantum leap in human evolution. The other races and ethnicities will be left behind, just as, compared to our world of today, previous forms of humanity have been left behind.

Israel-puppet Rachel Reeves. She would never acknowledge that a large number of organizations including banks and law firms have been promoting —and, in many cases, over-promoting— women for virtue-signalling and box-ticking reasons for about 30 years. I myself have seen many examples.

Apart from that, the ridiculous woman implicated in the latest Coutts/NatWest scandal was getting £2M a year for that job, and had —and still has— several other very extremely lucrative appointments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Rose_(banker); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Rose_(banker)#External_appointments.

I think that it is time to impose an income cap, at least on mere office-holders (as distinct from genuine entrepreneurs such as Dyson).

One correction: as far as I can see, the only “neo-Nazi problem” that Ukraine has is that so few “neo-Nazis” seem to exist there. If that is wrong, why do they tolerate Zelensky’s corrupt, brutal, and shambolic NWO/ZOG tyranny?

Interesting. Usually, the “instructor” in such a situation would be the one from the army of the state, not from the private military company. However, who knows from where that “instructor” has come, in career terms? Russian Spetsnaz? The post-Soviet VDV? These are not fake “mercenaries” as once found in Soldier of Fortune etc. They are a very serious fighting force.

Sad report

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66317374

A historic royal census, known as “swan upping”, has revealed a 40% drop in the number of cygnets on the River Thames, compared with last year.

The decline has been blamed on avian flu but also a growing problem of violence, including shootings, catapult attacks and dogs killing swans.

[BBC]

I was saddened to hear, on BBC Radio 3 news this morning, that same report, i.e. that the number of swans counted on the Thames this year is about 40% lower than in previous years, and that, worse yet, part of the decline is because of “increased violence towards swans“. Jesus Christ! What sort of horrible bastards are cruel to swans?! They should be flayed alive if caught mistreating swans.

Having said that, there was always a small amount of such badness. I remember rowing my inflatable boat, with someone from my school, down the then-still-closed river Kennet in 1971, and seeing a dead swan in the water. The swan was obviously not long dead. That happened somewhere between Newbury and Reading. Not long after having seen the dead swan, we passed an unpleasant-looking young man on the bank, not older than about 20, with some kind of rifle or air-rifle. Were the two sights connected? I think probably they were.

Incidentally, the Kennet, and connected Kennet and Avon, was then only navigable by carrying the boat around disused locks, over barbed-wire fences etc. Since then, volunteers have been able to re-open the waterway to traffic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennet_and_Avon_Canal.

As if “Jack Monroe” is going to do any of that…

She hopes that her critics will tire of trying to enlighten the public (including the 397 utter mugs still —as of today— sending her a total of several thousand pounds per month via Patreon). If the critics tire, then she can resume (on a larger scale) her decade-long career of “grifting” and defrauding and embezzling and “cosplaying”, as may be convenient for her; maybe even get onto Question Time again (which does not usually pay, but does tend to validate her with the msm in general and with the uninformed majority of the public.

Ignorant Jewish talking head Emily Maitlis, hugely overpaid by the BBC thanks to the outdated and tyrannical “licence fee” system, wilfully fails to see the bigger point about freedom of expression. I can only assume that she is unaware that other people, less famous than Nigel Farage, have also been “cancelled” for having the “wrong” views (i.e. anti-System views), people such as Mark Collett, Laura Towler, Sam Melia (all of Patriotic Alternative), and others. They all lost their personal bank accounts, and they were not “cancelled” by Coutts but by standard high street banks such as Barclays and (I think) Halifax.

You hear much (and rightly so) about the attempted bank account cancellation of Farage, but where were Laurence Fox, the “Free Speech Union”, Toby Young etc when those other victims had their bank accounts cancelled? Where were those “champions of free speech” when Alison Chabloz was imprisoned for posting online legitimate satire about Jewish and Zionist behaviour, or during my continuing persecution at the hands of the Jew-Zionist lobby? Absent.

Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby…

I agree on every single one of those.

Ukraine (Kiev regime) cannot win this war; indeed, without having been propped up by vast amounts of money, arms, ammunition, clothing, food etc from the West, it would already be totally on its knees.

He left out a fourth aspect— Jewish-Zionist control (of banks, businesses and commerce, legal services, newspapers, television, radio, and pseudo-democratic politics).

Scotland

Pakistani “Scotsman”, SNP Leader and First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf, now proposes the flooding of Scotland with new huge numbers of Pakistani and other migrant-invaders.

If that were ever to happen as proposed, many migrant-invaders would take up Scottish citizenship purely in order to, sooner or later, relocate to England. That in turn would entail the building of…a wall…to keep them out. Certainly the construction of border fortifications.

In reality, though, it will almost certainly never happen. Even bearing in mind the pseudo-nationalist idiocy that leads to nearly half of the Scottish electorate voting SNP (that’s right— the SNP has never garnered even half of Scottish votes), this must surely give even die-hard SNP supporters pause.

Yousaf may just have cost the SNP a goodly portion of its votes.

I usually steer clear of commenting on Scottish politics, but think that faux-“Independence” is losing traction.

An octopus has quite high intelligence and sentience. I rarely buy seafood salad with octopus rings now for that reason.

I have wondered why Jews, especially, are and have been among the most fanatical for the “vaccines” and other “measures”, including the facemask nonsense. You see tweets from them claiming that they have, have had, or are afraid of getting “Covid”, as well as tweets (even now) fervently urging compulsory mask-wearing etc.

I think that this can all be traced back to an ingrained wish to be seen as the perennial “victim”, even when that is extremely implausible.

Bolton forgot to add that many of the younger police “officers” of today (meaning those under 40), brainwashed at school thanks to Jew-pumped-out “holocaust” “education”, are easily manipulated by the Jew-Zionist element into taking seriously false and malicious complaints made by Jews about (usually) non-Jews. A couple of my own experiences from the past 5 years or so: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/; https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/.

Exactly. I read the local newspapers online, the ones for coastal Hampshire and Dorset. The court reports are interesting inasmuch that, even for me, a one-time barrister (albeit far more civil and commercial etc than criminal), the sentences often surprise by their leniency.

I am far from being a “hanger and flogger”, and I favour clemency where possible, perhaps even too much, but I now read of people who have committed crimes of considerable violence and brutality, not to mention egregious theft, being effectively “let off”.

You have to work quite hard to get imprisoned in the UK these days (unless the Jews say that you have been rude about them).

Example? A few years ago, I heard tell of a man, an accountant aged in his 40s, who had a paid job, I think part-time, with a really worthwhile hospice charity not far from where I myself live (about 2-3 miles away). That person stole (embezzled) £40,000 from the charity.

In court, the embezzler must have had Counsel very good at mitigation because, on the premises that the defendant’s parents had stumped up the £40,000 to compensate the hospice, the defendant got off with a suspended sentence, despite the egregious breach of trust, despite also the fact that he was only caught by chance or Fate, and despite the fact that he had initially tried to blame more junior staff.

No. Far too lenient.

For once I agree with that stupid woman. GPs, at least many, may be overpaid, and those that want an easier life may find it congenial to drop by the surgery a couple of days a week and still pick up a gross pay of about £60,000 in many cases.

Incidentally, I have no animus against my own GP, a very polite person whom I have not actually seen face to face for years, but with whom I am reasonably satisfied, and who monitors me via routine blood tests etc, and sends the odd letter.
