It takes courage —or desperation— to vote for something revolutionary, or even anything really radical. Germany is, even now, not ready for national revolution; neither is Britain.
Germany and Britain are both nearly ready to support something fairly radical— AfD in Germany, Reform UK in Britain (leaving aside the fact that Reform, at least, is basically “controlled opposition”), and we shall see what happens in the next 4 years. After that, social nationalism will be the only way to go. Either that, or complete collapse of the societies, followed by some form of authoritarian multikulti near-Communism.
We have not only to “drain the swamp” but clear the swamp…

“Wow, Putin was right. Macron, Starmer, Zelensky, the President of Poland, Duda even waited 1,5hr outside the oval office for a 10min talk with Trump.”]
[“I’m not going to make security guarantees beyond very much. We’re going to have Europe do that,” President Trump says regarding the potential Ukraine deal.“]
I think that we can now take it as read that, barring accidents, Russia and the USA will not be getting into a nuclear war. Whatever one may think of Trump, in that respect God must be with him, to put it in conventional terms.
That leaves the European powers. The only ones of significance are the UK and France (mainly because of their nuclear weapons), Poland, and Germany (Poland because of the size of its army and its probable morale, Germany because of its large amount of up-to-date transport, armament etc).
The UK and France would be mad to try to threaten the use of or, a fortiori, deploy in combat nuclear weapons. Any nuclear response by Russia would destroy Britain utterly. As for France, the same applies, except that France is nearly 2.5x the size of the UK.
I think that what we are looking at (unless there is a real armistice Russia-Ukraine, which is unlikely) is a continuation of the war, with the UK, France, Germany supplying even more arms, armament, and money to the Kiev regime, but probably failing to plug the gap left by withdrawal of most American assistance.
If the Americans also withdraw their intelligence aid to the Kiev regime, Russian forces will find their progress in the war easier.
The Kiev-regime side is now very short of actual “boots on the ground”. It is even thinking of extending the draft to those aged 18-24, so far immune from conscription.
I cannot see the Kiev regime lasting much beyond 2026.

“In 1943, amid the devastating final years of World War II, the Berlin Zoo was heavily bombed, leaving much of the zoo in ruins and many of its animals in grave danger. Among the survivors was a Shoe-billed stork, an unusual and majestic bird recognized for its unique, shoe-shaped bill and stately demeanor. With the zoo’s facilities destroyed, the stork found an unlikely refuge in a nurse’s bathroom, a small but safe haven where it was cared for during the chaos of war. The nurse’s bathroom became a sanctuary for the bird, symbolizing the compassion and determination of those who worked to protect the zoo’s animals despite the dire circumstances. The stork’s survival depended on the care it received in this improvised setting, where it was fed and tended to with limited resources. This poignant scene of a wild, exotic bird in a domestic, human space emphasized the extraordinary lengths people went to preserve life during a time when destruction seemed all-encompassing. The survival of the Shoe-billed stork and its temporary shelter in the nurse’s bathroom became a powerful symbol of resilience and hope amidst the horrors of war. While much of the zoo was destroyed and many animals were lost, stories like this highlight the small acts of care and humanity that endured even in the darkest hours. The stork’s journey is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals and serves as a reminder of the fragments of hope that can emerge even in times of overwhelming devastation.“

“The subterranean city of Derinkuyu, located in Cappadocia region of Türkiye, an extraordinary historical site with the capacity to house an estimated 20,000 to 60,000 people, including their livestock and supplies. Its discovery occurred unexpectedly in 1963 when a homeowner accidentally broke through a wall in his basement, unveiling an ancient and intricate underground structure hidden for centuries. Derinkuyu is an impressive multi-level complex, descending over 200 feet below the surface and consisting of at least 18 levels, though only a portion of it has been fully excavated. The city features an array of functional spaces, including living quarters, kitchens, storage areas, wine and oil presses, stables, and even chapels and schools. Ventilation shafts and a sophisticated water system ensured the city’s inhabitants could survive underground for extended periods. Defensive mechanisms, such as heavy stone doors that could be rolled into place, protected the city from invaders. Historians and archaeologists believe Derinkuyu was initially constructed by the Phrygians or Hittites in the early centuries BCE, though it was later expanded and used by various groups, including early Christians, as a refuge from persecution or attacks. Its design reflects the ingenuity and resilience of the civilizations that relied on such cities for survival during times of conflict or environmental challenges. The discovery of Derinkuyu has spurred interest in Cappadocia’s extensive network of underground cities, many of which remain unexplored. These ancient marvels continue to captivate researchers and visitors alike, shedding light on the innovative ways humans adapted to their environment and safeguarded their communities.“

“Recruits to the castle-convents scattered across Teutonic territory primarily hailed from Germanic regions such as Franconia, Thuringia, the Rhine, and other German territories. These knights, often aristocrats but also comprising lower-ranking members, were stationed in commanderies housing anywhere from 10 to 80 individuals. Similar to other military orders, recruits pledged monastic vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Joining offered prospects of spiritual rewards, adventure, career advancement, and even basic amenities like regular meals and shelter. While German settlers were permitted entry, they typically served as priests or half-brethren. Each castle-convent also accommodated local crossbowmen, as well as non-combatants like servants and craftsmen. Although officially international, the order predominantly drew recruits from German lands. Membership numbers varied, influenced by battles and territorial shifts. For instance, Prussia counted 700 members in 1379 AD, 400 in 1450 AD, 160 in 1513 AD, and 55 in 1525 AD. The total knightly roster likely never exceeded around 1,300. The order’s revenue stemmed from wartime spoils, captured territories, trade, land rents, and donations in cash, goods, or land. Some brethren paid an entry fee, while taxes on local populations were imposed in Teutonic territories by the 15th century AD. As recruitment challenges grew, the order increasingly relied on mercenaries, necessitating financial support. Commanderies not only offered training, residences, and retirement options but also extended aid to local communities through hospices, hospitals, schools, and cemeteries. Additionally, the order constructed churches, providing ongoing maintenance and fostering artistic endeavors for embellishment.“
I once knew a German lady from East Prussia, one of whose several historically-distinguished ancestors was a Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights in the Middle Ages.

“The Lion Man – An Ice Age Masterpiece : The Lion Man is a masterpiece. Sculpted with great originality, virtuosity and technical skill from mammoth ivory, this 40,000 year-old image is 31cm tall. It has the head of a cave lion with a partly human body. He stands upright, perhaps on tiptoes, legs apart and arms to the sides of a slender, cat-like body with strong shoulders like the hips and thighs of a lion. His gaze, like his stance, is powerful and directed at the viewer. The details of his face show he is attentive, he is watching and he is listening. He is powerful, mysterious and from a world beyond ordinary nature. He is the oldest known representation of a being that does not exist in physical form but symbolises ideas about the supernatural.
Found in a cave in what is now southern Germany in 1939, the Lion Man makes sense as part of a story that might now be called a myth. The wear on his body caused by handling suggests that he was passed around and rubbed as part of a narrative or ritual that would explain his appearance and meaning. It is impossible to know what that story was about or whether he was deity, an avatar to the spirit world, part of a creation story or a human whose experiences on a journey through the cosmos to communicate with spirits caused this transformation. Obviously, the story involved humans and animals. Lion Man is made from a mammoth tusk, the largest animal in the environment of that time and depicts the fiercest predator, a lion, now extinct, that was about 30 centimetres taller than a modern African lion and had no mane. Distinct from other animals through their use of tools and fire, humans were nonetheless dependent on some animals for food while needing to protect themselves from predators. Perhaps this hybrid helped people to come to terms with their place in nature on a deeper, religious level or in some way to transcend or reshape it.
Archaeological discoveries in other caves in this region include small sculptures as shown in the British Museum’s 2013 exhibition Ice Age art: arrival of the modern mind. They were found in caves with large quantities of stone tools and animal bones that indicate people lived in the shelter of the daylight areas of these sites for repeated periods of time.
Stadel Cave, where the Lion Man was found, is different. It faces north and does not get the sun. It is cold and the density of debris accumulated by human activities is much less than at other sites. This was not a good place to live. Lion Man was found in a dark inner chamber, carefully put away in the darkness with only a few perforated arctic fox teeth and a cache of reindeer antlers nearby. These characteristics suggest that Stadel Cave was only used occasionally as a place where people would come together around a fire to share a particular understanding of the world articulated through beliefs, symbolised in sculpture and acted out in rituals.
Lion Man is the oldest known evidence for religious beliefs and Stadel Cave suggests that believing and belonging have a deep history crucial to human societies and originating long before writing. In 2017, UNESCO acknowledged Stadel Cave and other Swabian localities as World Heritage Sites of importance to all humanity and now Ulm Museum has loaned this important sculpture to the British Museum for the exhibition.”
“The candidate for Chancellor of Germany Alice Weidel has called for the restoration of relations and economic ties with Russia The election program of Alternative for Germany includes points about the need to lift sanctions on Russia to allow free trade. Additionally, according to members of the AfD, it is necessary to repair the Nord Stream pipeline, which supplied Russian gas to Europe. “We want to end the sanctions policy, which primarily harms our country,” Weidel said. She reminded that just two years ago, Germany was buying cheap natural gas from Russia through Nord Stream, but now the country has “the highest energy prices in the world.”
The AfD is not fully social-national but is still clearly the best choice for German voters at present. Deutschland erwache!
Boris Johnson put mass uncontrolled immigration on steroids and should never be allowed anywhere near frontline politics again.
I thought, when he was not nominated (plainly at his own request) for a fake peerage that Johnson, aka “Boris”-idiot, had it in mind to stand for leader again.
Were Johnson to get some sympathetic Con MP to stand down in his favour, Johnson might well win a safe-seat by-election.
Why would any MP do that? In return for a promise of getting a peerage later. That would not require Johnson to be Prime Minister, because the Leader of the Opposition also has peerage-nomination rights.
Johnson would then have to wait (probably) until November 2025 before at least 15% of Con MPs send in letters of no-confidence in “Carpetbagger Kemi” Badenoch. That means 18 MPs, as matters stand. That would happen. Con MPs know that Kemi Badenoch is a total turn-off for most voters, sure to lose the next general election and, thus, a number of seats.
Then, all Johnson would need would be a small number of MPs (in the 2024 leadership election, the number was 10 MPs) to nominate him as a candidate (quite likely possible).
Opinion polls of 2024 Con-voting people show that Johnson is far more popular (despite his evident unfitness to hold office, despite his total incompetence) than Kemi Badenoch.
I may even place a bet on “Boris” to be next Con Party leader. The odds, though, are not too generous, below 5/1. Maybe I shall lose my money elsewhere…
As Matt Goodwin says, though, Johnson was disastrous as PM (and, before that, as Foreign Secretary), and at present the Con Party is hovering around or below 20% in the opinion polls.

“Nearly every other day I learn that someone I know in Wiltshire, in Westminster or in my wider Conservatiive network has left the party – and about half the time they join Reform too. Today two have jumped. Give it time, say Tory diehards but even under new leadership the Conservative Party simply isn’t healing or recovering. Its decline is continuing. I am not finding Reform membership easy but don’t regret my move nor leaving a party that is now so divided and adrift. It’s sad to watch.“
“I don’t know one lifetime Tory that still supports them personally, i wont ever vote for them again.

Semi-literate, but surely accurate.
It has been forecast in the past and not quite happened, but I truly feel that the once-great Conservative Party is now finally going the same way as the old 19thC/20thC Liberal Party. Terminal decline.
The Con vote in (?) 2029 (and assuming that a nuclear war has not happened by then anyway) may be as low as 15%.
It would also mean Reform UK getting 330 Commons seats, an overall majority, and thus being able to form the next Government of the UK. If that then ended badly, social nationalism could finally arise. God mote it be.

No wonder the British people are turning off from System parties and politicians. Reform UK is but the next step on the road, not the ultimate destination. Anger and frustration is growing.

Electoral Calculus suggests that that, at a general election, might produce a Commons with 212 Reform UK seats, 196 Labour, 106 Conservative, 72 LibDem, and 7 Green (etc). So a Reform minority government.
Reform UK is part of the journey, not the final destination, of course. A useful bridge, if you like.
200+ Reform UK MPs would change the whole atmosphere at Westminster. For example, they could demand proportional representation and then, if the System parties block that, appeal over their heads to the British people via a second general election that might see Con and Lab even further diminished.
I feel, listening to what many people I hear in the course of everyday activity, that the British people have pretty much had enough of migration invasion, attacks on free speech, and enough of the still-encroaching police-state dystopia under the present Labour Friends of Israel cabal (and its “Conservative” predecessors).
Another big factor is the “nothing works properly any more” feeling, which is based on fact— things don’t work properly any more (a situation which, with the increasingly racially-mixed population, can only worsen).

“Reform UK is now only a single percentage point behind Labour – putting their leader Nigel Farage within touching distance of Number 10 at the next election.
New polling data from YouGov, commissioned by Sky News, puts Reform on 24 per cent and Labour on 25 per cent – down a whopping 9 percentage points from their winning vote share at the 2024 UK election.
With the Conservatives on 22 per cent, the UK electorate may be about to usher in a new epoch of three-way party politics.
The new research puts Labour on 26 per cent, Reform UK on 25 per cent, the Torieson 22 per cent, the Lib Dems on 14 per cent and the Greens on 8 per cent.
In general the assessment of Sir Keir’s first six months in office is damning, with only 10 per cent of voters judging that he has been successful and an overwhelming majortity (60 per cent) saying he has been unsuccessful.
Labour insiders are also worried at how the party is hemorrhaging voters to other parties across the political spectrum.
The new data found that they have retained only 54 per cent of supporters from the general election – while 7 percent have defected to the Lib Dems, 6 per cent to the Green Party, 5 per cent to Reform UK and 4 per cent to the Tories.
Meanwhile almost a quarter of those who voted Labour in the polls (23 per cent) either did not say, weren’t sure or had decided not to vote at all.
Labour also faces a problem with elderly voters in light of policies like the removal of the winter fuel allowance, with only 14 per cent of OAPs now saying they would cast their vote for Labour – down eight percentage points from the election.“
Naturally, Reform UK is not very close to me, ideologically. Pro Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, and (relatively) anti-welfare state; pro-finance capitalism.
Still, Reform UK has its uses. To move the “Overton Window”, particularly on issues of immigration, migration-invasion, free speech etc. Above all, to break up the LibLabCon “three main parties” scam which has been in place during my lifetime.
It may well be that all party politics will crumble to dust by reason of some existential catastrophe in the world, such as nuclear war, but that is another matter, arguably.
According to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], the figures given, if replicated at a general election, might result in a House of Commons with Labour holding 287 seats, Conservative Party 128, Reform UK 107, LibDems 77, Green Party 4. That would indicate a Lab-LibDem coalition, or some lesser concordat, Labour being about 37 short of an overall majority on those figures.

When I was about 21-y-o, I wanted to get rid of hundreds of unwanted books, mostly paperback novels (spy stories and crime thrillers etc). I gave them to the Royal Marsden because I was then living at Reigate Hill in Surrey, only about 8 or 9 miles away from the hospital’s site at Sutton (though the distance seems more because the two areas are so different). I dropped them off at the hospital reception. I hope they at least passed the time for some of the in-patients. I suppose that must have been 1977 or 1978.
It looks, though, as if the lady tweeter noted attends not the Sutton site of the hospital but rather its other and older location, in Kensington (which would make more sense, because she lives not far from my old shooting club, the Kensington Rifle and Pistol Club, now all but defunct and no longer —since the 1990s, if not earlier—in West Kensington). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Marsden_Hospital.

I say I might have an offer you like and care passionately about fixing social care. And the rest. I also think doctors would run the NHS better, pen-pushers and deadbeat hospital CEOs, often from industry or politics, should be blocked off.“
All right. Some good points, but was she saying all that when she was married to a Conservative MP and Whip (until a decade ago)? I do not know, but I doubt it. She was (and still is? I wonder…) a passionate supporter of the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and George (Gideon) Osborne, whose government of nasty nonsense, 2010-2015, imposed so-called “austerity” (for the poor) and spending cuts which permanently crippled this country in every way.
As for “food banks”, they scarcely existed until 2010. Only on a tiny scale, anyway. Another result of “Conservative” Party policies 2010-2015.
The Fiona Syms tweeter should think about why the Conservative Party presently stands at 22% in the opinion polls, 2 points lower than at GE 2024, despite the evident hopeless incompetence and unpleasantness of the “Labour” government of “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer and his little Labour Friends of Israel cabal.
People have not forgotten the 14 years of truly bad “Conservative” government 2010-2024, finishing off with the government of the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak; and now the “Conservatives” are “led” by a political joke (again), a Nigerian woman who only came to the UK at age 16, albeit that she spent a day or two here after her birth (in London).
Having said that, it is clear that Labour (too) is finished. After a week or two of Starmer-Labour misgovernment, I blogged as much, at which time the msm were sycophantically applauding Starmer (some stupid woman scribbler in, I think, the Guardian, even said that she found herself attracted to Starmer sexually!— Well, Henry Kissinger did say that “power is the ultimate aphrodisiac“…).
What stands out there for me is how only among those 65+ years of age is voting Conservative anywhere near the level required to ground a Conservative Party government. 35%. Not very impressive anyway, but dropping to only 25% among those 50-64 y o, and to only 16% among those aged 25-49 before almost disappearing among those aged 18-24.
It might be argued that those aged below 65 y o might well change their views when they age further (just as it was said by Soviet anti-Christian propagandists in the pre-1989 period that “only old women now attend Russian Orthodox churches“, but that was countered by those who noted that there seemed always to be another generation of old women at church…).
Yes, those now aged below 65 may well be more inclined to vote Conservative when they reach 65+, but in my opinion the numbers will never be higher, or even as high, as they now are.
If the percentage of those 65+ voting Conservative is now 35% or so, by 2029 that might easily decline to 30%, and lower thereafter. The same slide might also be seen, and probably will be seen, lower down the age scale. If the present 18-24 y o generation only vote Conservative Party at around 5%, that will almost certainly increase, but maybe only slightly, over the years to come. To what extent is hard to pinpoint, but maybe by only about 5 points in each coming generation, so at age 65+ maybe to about 20%.
Admittedly speculative.
That is assuming that the present voting and political system will still be here in 2060, 2040, or even 2030. Or the present world as we know it…

“A law student is suing Cambridge University for discrimination after he failed his PhD and delayed his career working as a barrister.
Jacob Meagher is seeking ‘substantial damages’ from the world famous institution, alleging he was the subject of disability discrimination and victimisation following the failure of his law PhD.
Mr Meagher also claimed that his oral ‘viva voce’ interview, where he was questioned about his thesis by two examiners, caused ‘significant damage’ to his health.
He ended up failing the examination, meaning he missed out on a opportunity to take up a tenancy at a ‘particular set of chambers’ and therefore ‘suffered a substantial loss of anticipated earnings’.
Outlining the claim, the judge said: ‘Mr Meagher…is a student at the University of Cambridge…undertaking a PhD in law.
‘[He] did not successfully pass his final viva voce examination of his doctoral thesis.
Court documents also stated that the University’s Disability Resource Centre had recommended that at the viva, examiners follow a set of guidelines, produced as part of a Student Support Document (SSD), to help him.
These included asking specific rather than general questions, using the active, rather than the passive, voice and allowing him pauses and breaks after questions…to allow him to ‘mentally retrieve the words or information that he needed in order to answer’.“
[Daily Mail]
How on Earth does that litigant think he is going to survive at the Bar (unless he does no court work at all) if he cannot endure being verbally challenged, and needs time “to mentally retrieve the words or information that he [needs] in order to answer“?
You need a thick skin at the Bar. I should know. I was a practising barrister, in court almost daily, from 1993-1996 in London (often at the High Court, as well as in County Courts and both “the mags” and, less often, Crown Courts), and during 2002-2008 based in Exeter (though travelling widely across the UK and beyond).
Being put on the spot by a judge, especially a High Court judge (I was never at the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court), can be a chastening experience even if the judge is (as most High Court judges are) reasonably courteous.
Woe betide the barrister who is unprepared, or whose instructing solicitors have fallen down on their job. I usually managed to put up a good show, or at least a good front, but I have seen other barristers fall silent, unable to say a word, or flounder helplessly; even, in one case (in Camberwell Magistrates’ Court, before a particularly severe Stipendiary Magistrate —the people called District Judges now—) actually whimper and almost burst into tears (it was a man, too…).
At one time, a barrister who was disabled, even physically, was at a huge disadvantage in trying to get into any chambers. Now, it is arguable that things have gone to the other extreme.
When I was in provincial chambers in Exeter, from 2002-2008 , there was a girl Bar pupil from Northern Ireland. She seemed pleasant and was afterwards offered a tenancy (after which she became markedly less pleasant). The point, though, was that she had a bad speech impediment. In my opinion, the Northern Irish accent is hard enough to understand, let alone when the speaker has a speech impediment. She did get some criminal and family work, though; low-level stuff.
In the end, that Northern Irish person gave up the Bar entirely (I was told) and returned to her native Ulster. At least there they were, presumably, able to understand what she said.

The mainstream media milieu is a cesspit. I was just reading about some person whose name, though I had seen it somewhere, in the back of my mind, conveyed little to me. A few years younger than me (I am now 68), he has died, and even years ago was looking at least a decade or more older than me, looking at photos in the newspapers. In fact, make that 20+ years older.
Apparently, that person had, at one time, in the 1990s, been spending £4,000 a week on cocaine, and drinking 4-5 bottles of vodka every day!
You could double or treble that sum to get the same value in the money of 2025.

“Here’s how all Zionist arguments collapse upon the slightest examination: “We were here first”: no, the Canaanites were, and many Palestinians have Canaanite DNA (& Jewish DNA as well, per Ben Gurion himself). Now prove yourself each of you is a direct descendant of someone who inhabited this land!
“We’re returning to our homeland” so said the French & Italians in Libya & Algeria “we are returning to & recovering Roman lands.” “But the West Bank is ours b/c of the bible”, that’s not how international law works, its utmost principle is a prohibition on acquisition of territory by force; i.e. you can’t just steal land by conquest & military power anymore!
“God promised it to us”; a) good luck arguing this in court. B) then why did he take it away from you for 2000 years? “We had a Jewish kingdom on this land for about 250 years”: and Muslims have been sovereign on this land for 1400 years! Does Greece have a right today to occupy Turkey’s Istanbul/Constantinople b/c it was once part of the Byzantine empire?
“The world gave us Israel in 1947”: no they didn’t & they don’t have the right to! The UN then had only 57 members out of 193 member states today. Even then, & despite intense US/Zionist lobbying & intimidation, only 33 states voted for (mostly white) the Partition Plan as a proposal. The partition resolution was never voted on at the UN Security Council.
“But we were persecuted in Europe for centuries culminating with the Holocaust”: but why should I pay the price of European savagery & antisemitism?
“We have a right to return 2,000 years later”, then why doesn’t my grandma have that right only 76 years later?
That’s why no state has a “right to exist”. Because who/what gave them that right?
Despite all this, Palestinians unrequitedly recognised Israel over 3 decades ago, accepted its existence as a fait accompli, & accepted less than 22% of our homeland; & that is called today “Palestinian maximalism/rejectionism”, while Israel offering us caged bantustans worse than apartheid South Africa is call “a generous offer”!
[Ashkenazic Jews in Jerusalem, c. 1885. God’s sake! Just look at them!]
“New research suggests that the majority of the world’s modern Jewish population is descended mainly from people from ancient Turkey, rather than predominantly from elsewhere in the Middle East.
The new research suggests that most of the Jewish population of northern and eastern Europe – normally known as Ashkenazic Jews – are the descendants of Greeks, Iranians and others who colonized what is now northern Turkey more than 2000 years ago and were then converted to Judaism, probably in the first few centuries AD by Jews from Persia. At that stage, the Persian Empire was home to the world’s largest Jewish communities.
According to research carried out by the geneticist, Dr Eran Elhaik of the University of Sheffield, over 90 per cent of Ashkenazic ancestors come from that converted partially Greek-originating ancient community in north-east Turkey.“

Could Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet be less competent?
Box-ticking former bureaucrat lawyer Starmer himself, Rachel Reeves the fake “economist” (aka “Rachel from Accounts” and/or the customer complaints dept, Halifax Building Society), “Refugees Welcome” idiot, expenses cheat and would-be dictator, Yvette Cooper, thick-as-two-short-planks “Deputy Prime Minister” Angela Rayner (and the rest).
It has already, after 6 months, got to the point where it is glaringly obvious that this fake “Labour” government has no more competence, indeed maybe even less, than had those of Sunak, Truss, “Boris”-idiot, May, and Cameron-Levita.
Interesting. The best aspect of that, were it to happen, would be the dismay amid the “woke” rabble of new Starmer-Labour MPs, over 150 of them, as they lose their seats and are forced to contemplate having to go back to doing mundane and probably badly-paid jobs again.

Europe’s largest economies, from 1961 to 2024. Interesting to see how some of the countries have improved or downgraded. Turkey, in particular, registered growth in the mid-sections of the list; East Germany/DDR was fairly high until the 1980s, when it fell like a stone. West Germany was high, and indeed at the top even before it absorbed the Eastern part in the 1990s, and has been pre-eminent since then. The Soviet Union as a whole was the largest economy overall for some time, but fell back in the 1980s, after which Russia started to climb, despite missing the other former Soviet republics, and has for some time been one of the five strongest economies (overall), in the top five. The UK has been in the top five consistently.
Of course, were that graphic to be expressed per capita rather than in gross terms, the situation would look very different.
Did you know there was a time when America was Art Deco, a blend of elegance and precision, marked by soaring towers and unshakable optimism?
Even after the Art Deco era, America was pre-eminent in terms of confident presentation at least, until the 1960s. Look, e.g., at a film such as North by Northwest (1959), with its ambience of, inter alia, Modern Movement architecture, as well as, later in the film, the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright.
I think the SRA have spotted a great opportunity for solicitors. If you're a solicitor, you find a reason to drop your client, come back on as an 'advisor', and do the work in any way, anyhow you like, not bound by any rules and regs. It encourages enterprise and initiative.
That refers to the egregiously poor, dishonest, and negligent behaviour exhibited by “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who is now supposedly domiciled in Israel, though he seems to spend much of his time in the UK, either making money out of clients (who seem rather poorly served), or thinking up stunts to publicize “antisemitism” and at the same time make money out of possible “compensation” (as in the failed stunt at the Reginald D. Hunter show at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, when he cooked up a plot with his wife, Mandy Blumenthal, and Daily Mail junior scribbler Sabrina Miller). See
My own opinion is that, after the contrived Jew-Zionist storm that ensued after the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal reprimanded Lewis and fined him in 2018, the SRA is running a bit scared of the Jew-Zionist lobby and their characteristic contrived “claque” behaviour.

That idiot seriously thinks that Britain was “dominant“, internationally, about 24 years ago! What planet is he on? Britain was then not only within the trammels of the EU etc, but was the “poodle” of the then Bush jnr. administration in the United States.
It really is about time that the British people demanded a lot more from the “security and intelligence” bods, or just dumped them, or most of them.
What has weakened Britain has been a combination of the migration-invasion, together with the changing demographics of the UK, the sliding standards in all areas of society, cultural degeneration, and the domination of the UK’s government, political life, courts, policing and mass media, inter alia, by the Israel lobby. Oh, and the near-collapse and uselessness of our armed forces (etc).
But the CAA collection aren't honest. Plus they are a charity run by intel svcs which is illegal.
The “CAA” cabal, effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, can be called (as blogged about in the past) a malicious little cabal. They threaten a lot, suborn police and CPS officials, are a damned nuisance, but accomplish little even by their own standards.
They should not, of course, be treated as a charity. For one thing, they are directly political; for another, the activity of the “CAA” exhibits no “public benefit”.
Myerson likes his drink a bit too much, according to eye witnesses in Leeds..
Is that true (about Myerson being a heavy drinker)? I have no idea, though if true it might partly explain his vituperative social media activity, which was at least part of the reason he was sacked (sub nom “resigned”) as a Recorder earlier in 2024. He certainly seems to stay up late, tweeting. Drinking too? As I say, I have no idea.

According to Rute, Ukraine will start peace negotiations only when it feels that it can get something.“
Hopefully, NATO (and the EU) will now row back from the brink of war with Russia.

It may not have any statistical validity, but the experience of meeting that horrible bastard told me everything I need to know about the Dutch medical profession.

I caught a few minutes of a BBC News “discussion”. One silly woman was talking about how most asylum-seekers are “genuine”, then gave “Ukraine” as an example. The fact is that most of Ukraine is no more a a war zone than was Northern Ireland or even mainland Britain in the 1970s. An occasional bomb. I am talking about, especially, Western Ukraine and Kiev.
As the rules now stand, literally hundreds of millions of people in the world could, in principle, arrive here and make a successful claim for asylum. Fact. Can you imagine what the UK would be like if they all came here? Impossible? As recently as a decade ago, pro-migrant drones were saying that a million a year could never happen. Now look.
Meanwhile some BBC drone was saying that migration is essential for “the NHS and the care sector”. Only because of the way our society has structured itself in recent decades.
Also, migration at a million a year— how many doctors, nurses, and care workers out of every million? The fact is that the whole NHS is only about 1.5M, and about half are white British people.
The care sector employs a similar number of people.
Ergo, most “migrants” (invaders), the vast vast majority, are not working either in the NHS or the care sector. More lying propaganda from the BBC.
Where is our society going? It becomes ever more obvious…

What will London and all major urban areas of the UK be like by 2034 or 2044 if Britain does not wake up and put a permanent stop to this?
I remember that winter of 1962-63. I was 6 years old, and had gone into Reading from my home in Caversham Heights (on the other side of the Thames) using the one bus, a single-decker, that serviced my home area. I cannot recall who accompanied me. Probably my grandmother, because she was the only adult family member unable to drive; unusually for that era in the UK, we were a two-car family.
As the bus returned to the nearest stop to where I lived (a couple of streets away), the driver slowed, but opened the exit door before the bus had come to a halt. It was still moving as I fell out. Luckily, I fell onto and into a large drift or pile of soft snow, and was entirely unharmed. My first lucky escape?
The general public is unaware of how much of the whole WW2 “holocaust” narrative is not even exaggerated but actually invented. The number of entirely faked “true stories” and supposed personal accounts is staggering, and well deserves the designation of being an “industry”.
A well-known example of “faction” is that of the Spielberg film, Schindler’s List, which many people believe to be an unvarnished true account of actual events. In fact, Schindler’s List was based on a novel, Schindler’s Ark, which was written by an Australian who, when the Second World War broke out in 1939, was only 4 years old.
It is uncertain how much of Schindler’s Ark (and, more so, Schindler’s List) is mere invention. A great deal, probably. Obviously, the Second World War happened, and Jews were put to work under compulsion in some parts of Europe. You could compare the book and film to other “faction” books such as The Day of the Jackal; skilful melding of fact and fiction.

This Hannah Ingram Moore and Captain Tom story is a great diversion from the important panicdemic facts: 1. They knew lockdowns were unnecessary. 2. They knew covid was easily cured with existing drugs. 4. Millions of people have been killed by mRNA jabs. 5. Jabs cause cancer.

I have blogged in the past, briefly, about that whole silly, sorry, business.
My views are that, while the old ex-officer was no doubt well-meaning, the whole thing was really a bit silly. He obviously believed, as did most of the population at the time (though not me), that “Covid” was some kind of existential threat to the nation (whereas it was the overall policy of “lockdowns” and other panicky measures taken that has proven so damaging to both economy and society).
Apart from that, I do find “Captain Tom” a bit of a “Captain Mainwaring”. After all, what kind of person, in the modern era, uses his military rank on a day to day basis nearly 80 years after he left the Army? Particularly when his substantive rank was Lieutenant (war-temporary Captain; he may have been gazetted substantive Captain prior to “demob” in 1946— I do not know), rather than Field Marshal, General, or Colonel.
Of course, in the 1940s, 1950s, even 1960s, there were plenty of people around who used their old war rank of, as many were, Major and, yes, even Captain, socially, or in business, but that was anachronistic even in the 1970s, fifty years ago.
“Captain Tom” never saw action, though of course that was no fault of his own; he went where ordered, and in his case that was to set up a rear-echelon training course for motorcyclists in India, later becoming an instructor in tank mechanics in Dorset. After that, he worked in the family construction business: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Tom_Moore.
The whole “Captain Tom” thing became very convenient for the Government in propaganda terms
As for the old officer’s family, mainly his daughter Hannah and her husband, they are little better than cockroaches, of course.
Still, the old fellow meant well, however naively, and in a way it is sad that his memory is now irretrievably tarnished by the flagrant greed and dishonesty of his daughter.
Incidentally, I must read the copy of the autobiography of “Captain Tom” which is in the back of the car. Thankfully, Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband will not be getting a penny from me, I having bought it for something like 20p in Tesco, off a charity bookshelf I saw there.

Well, I have mentioned this previously. I support Allison Pearson’s free speech rights, but she supports the Jewish/Israel lobby, which has been trying to take away my free speech for over a decade.
So the Starmer/Rachel Reeves Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment has decided to spend (waste) £3 billion on the brutal and shambolic Jew-Zionist regime of Zelensky in Kiev, about 15x what they are going to spend in a doomed attempt to “tackle homelessness” in the UK?
I say “doomed” because, with the huge migration-invasion taking place, homelessness and the overall housing crisis in this country will soon get much much worse.
Facts: about 1,200,000 migrant-invaders are entering the UK annually. About 300,000 leave annually (as well as about 100,000 British people). That means that the population is increasing by at least 800,000 every single year.
Let us assume that 800,000 individuals require about 160,000 dwelling-places (5 per house/flat). At £200,000 per flat/house build-cost, that comes to £32 billion, very roughly 150x what Rachel Reeves has earmarked for “tackling homelessness”.
The migration invasion of the UK means that another 160,000 houses and flats, at a minimum, will be required every single year. Unless the invasion is stopped, and the invaders already here are removed.
Incidentally, Starmer-Labour’s £3 billion a year, due to go to “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime dictatorship), will probably not have to be paid for more than a couple of years. The regime in Kiev will collapse and be rolled over before very long, probably next year.
Incidentally, a very unpleasant individual, a former American junior officer, who was in the U.S. Army for a couple of years at the rank of lieutenant and is now working as an assistant professor at Northumbria University in the UK, was tasteless enough to find the killing of the squirrel funny: see below
Oh, and guess what is the academic specialism of that very nasty (read his tweets) “assistant professor”? The old “holocaust” stuff…
I have noticed before that those in the lower reaches of academia who specialize in “holocaust” “studies” and, risibly, often refer to themselves as “holocaust scholars” (!) tend to be very unpleasant individuals. It is as if their minds have become contaminated.
“BREAKING: A horrific night in Ramallah, in the West Bank. Hundreds of Israeli terrorist settlers launched a brutal attack on the city of Ramallah, setting fire to numerous Palestinian homes and vehicles. After setting Palestinian homes and cars on fire, they moved to the main road connecting Ramallah to other cities, where they targeted Palestinian cars passing by, injuring a woman by hurling stones at her vehicle.”
Even Jew-Zionists are now often appalled by the terror unleashed by Jews in Israel/Palestine. I have noticed that several times recently.
The elephant in the room, though, is that, at root, what those Jewish terrorists are doing is no more and no less what the Jews did in Palestine in and around 1948, when they founded their state on terror, ethnic cleansing, and murder.
A fat Indian woman, caught out being effectively an Israeli agent, is now Shadow Foreign Secretary.

Purely a nominal appointment, though. Does anyone seriously expect Kemi Badenoch, a Nigerian woman, to become UK Prime Minister? The idea is actually ludicrous, even after “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, and the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.
Incidentally, I wonder whether those “scammers”, “Mark Lewis Lawyer” and his wife Mandy Blumenthal, are awaiting said storm in Israel/Palestine, or have they scuttled back, yet again, to the “antisemitic” Britain they despise and pretended to have fled?
One of the oddities of American “democracy” is that the plebs seriously believe that voting every 4 years for this or that candidate changes things. Really? Clinton, Obama, now Kamala Harris, arguably the least credible yet.

In fact, I read a good deal of “alternative” political literature back then, from Black Flag, NF News and League Review (the journal of the League of St. George, to which I then belonged) to (though far less frequently) Militant and similar literature.

A tendentious, probably brainless (and also —probably— atheistic) Church of England clergyman, and a plainly uneducated and also unintelligent fellow (or possibly someone with a mental health problem), both of whom favour migration-invasion by backward hordes into what is left of our country.
Truly, both stupidity and (in the lay sense) treason come in a variety of guises.
Beyond that, it is remarkable how little Question Time and Twitter reflect the popular mood. In fact, you could say that the popular mood in the UK is usually the precise opposite to whatever the Question Time audience and the main UK Twitter mob are saying.
73% of Conservatives & 67% of Leavers say they support the gvt's approach on small boats. Among all voters more support than oppose (YouGov). This will not be news to readers of my Substack.
My own approach would be rather different, certainly harsher, certainly more effective in destroying the migration-invasion, “but that’s just me“…
*New Substack* The Red Wall Reality Check:
-60% Red Wallers say "do whatever is necessary to stop small boats" -59% say don't let appeal removal -59% say don't put migrants in hotels -58% say lower acceptance rate -More say leave ECHR than stay https://t.co/aoCjfMwVQIpic.twitter.com/BtNuo4vzsz
On question time, Emily Thornberry says that older people are practicing 'generational discrimination' because older people have houses & young people can not afford to buy homes. So I worked hard, bought my house & that makes me bad.
Emily Thornberry (aka Lady Nugee) and her half-Jew husband, however, have about 7 or 8 buy-to-let and other properties. It might be said that they are profiting from the squeeze on housing.
Emily Thornberry never seems to wonder what the effect on housing availability might be of importing many millions of immigrants (mainly non-white, at that) over several decades, immigrants who have been breeding prolifically.
Yes, I am sure that Labour will, indeed, “clear the backlog” of migrant-invaders of all sorts. How? By approving almost all applications, and prioritizing the invaders above British people for housing (and all other services), then by setting up some kind of quick rubberstamp process in France, and even in the countries of origin of the invaders. That way, Britain will actually get swamped even more, but the bad public relations of the invading cross-Channel boats shown on TV and social media will be mostly avoided.
The USA is not working for most of its people. There again, who are we in the UK to talk?…
The old elite derived their status from wealth, titles, estates, & leisure time. The new elite increasingly derive their sense of status and moral righteousness by embracing radical "woke" progressivismhttps://t.co/LfAbV0sySLpic.twitter.com/zRIBUQ8ooN
The “trans” nonsense is everywhere now, but we must be clear: it has not emerged by accident. It is one of several attacks upon white Western civilization and culture, planned and incubated by forces of Evil embedded in our society, often in leading positions.
"Why has British politics come apart? My argument is it's driven by millions of people who want to push back against the rise of a new dominant class -a new elite- and a revolution they've been imposing on the rest of the country"
Good to talk with @Iromg about the rise of a new elite who no longer share many people's values, no longer give them a voice in the institutions, and look down on them as an underclass of ignorant racistshttps://t.co/1QRfbxojAopic.twitter.com/vND84oUK4H
"Radical progressives who are 15% of Britain are building a new 'moral hierarchy' in society. White straight men are inferior oppressors to be stripped of status, esteem & worth. Liberal women, minorities & elite 'allies' are righteous, superior, virtuous" https://t.co/VOCIC9DAMC
I spent a lot of my life studying the populist right but I now think the radical woke left poses as much of a challenge to liberal democracy Grab the book here https://t.co/Z2XrWotUP8pic.twitter.com/WXncy0oTe5
“Finnish politics could dramatically shift to the far-Right on Sunday as an anti-immigration party aims to replace Sanna Marin’s Social Democrats Party.
The ‘rock star’ prime minister, who took office in 2019 as the world’s youngest PM at 34, is Finland’s most popular leader this century, polls show.
However, latest figures put the mother-of-one’s centre-Left SDP in third place behind the anti-immigration and nationalist Finns Party and the centre-Right National Coalition Party, which held on to a thin lead.“
Sadly Jack Monroe has been exposed as a fraud. She even recently admitted to spending tens of thousands of pounds of donations/undelivered patreon subscriptions on luxury goods for herself. She was also part of a Tory think tank, and did paid work for the express – Tory defenders
Once more, a naive “Jack Monroe” supporter who, looking at her other tweets, is obviously entirely unaware that many “recipes” of “Jack Monroe” make food containing only a few hundred calories per person (some are around 200). So not “nutritious“. As for “thrifty“, anyone can buy cheapest pasta, mix in some fish paste and/or some tinned tomato pulp, then heat it in the microwave.

Not too far removed from the Berber/Arab oasis of Siwa, where I spent a month (out of a 3-month visit to Egypt) in late 1997 and early 1998.

Honestly, you leave prepping the container garden for 5 minutes and these little pests start digging a marching camp 🙄. Still, they left a nice planting trench for the geraniums.#RomanFortThursday#sorrynotsorrypic.twitter.com/vftvCch2uc
Brilliant 👏 And fair play to @LegalGengar for not just going down the easy route here, but forcing Jack Monroe bootstrapcook to reveal her finances under oath in court. Hopefully this fully exposes her decade long con & finishes it once & for all. https://t.co/GBeMT7D8r2
That should wake up at least a few of the somnolent “woke”…
I had a long discussion with some Berber Arabs who were selling ammonites in the Cairo marketplace (looong ago), and they told me that ammonites were plentiful throughout the Sahara, from Egypt to Morocco. A Google search shows a *lot* of Sahara ammonites available.
Those who supported the halfwit, Mandela, and the ANC, in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, should have seen (as did more sceptical observers, including me) that somewhere, not far down the line, black rule would almost certainly be savage rule, misrule, corrupt rule and, below that, scarcely-controlled social chaos.
