“…In fact, I’d go even further by stating the obvious. Kamala Harris, in reality, is only Vice President of the United States because she happens to tick the relevant identity boxes that according to the modern left need to be ticked. Woman? Tick. African American? Tick. She has basically benefitted from a system that is now hard-wired to promote certain identity groups over others, based on little more than these boxes.”
[Matt Goodwin]
…and the UK is going much the same way.
I am thinking that Kamala Harris will be replaced by another candidate. If so, it will have to happen soon.
Either way, I should imagine that Trump is likely to win now, though you never know.
Kamala Harris will have access to Biden’s campaign coffers, which includes millions from the Israel lobby.
Across the political spectrum Kamala Harris is deeply unpopular. They will try to insert another candidate before the DNC, but remember she has a major advantage – access to the campaign money already raised for Biden.
Still, if she's the nominee, it's over. Trump wins.

Not so much “New Labour New Danger” as a rehash of the “Conservative” fake “austerity” agenda.
The new Starmer-Labour government is already a total failure and fraud, only 2-3 weeks since its equally-fake “landslide” (only 33.7% even of those who voted).
As noted before on the blog, out of every 20 eligible voters, only 4 voted Labour (3 voted Con, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. 8 did not vote).

“The chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission has rejected calls from the justice secretary to resign after a report on its handling of the Andrew Malkinson case laid bare “a catalogue of failures”.
The new justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, said Pitcher was “unfit to fulfil her duties” and that she was seeking her removal in light of the findings. It is understood that she made her position clear to Pitcher on Thursday morning in the hope that she would resign.
But Pitcher said she was the “best person” for the job and that she had no intention of standing down.
James Burley, who led Appeal’s investigation into Malkinson’s case, said the report was “utterly damning” and detailed “a catalogue of failures by the CCRC”.
He said: “No one can doubt now that the CCRC is a broken safety net which sets the bar unreasonably high for innocent prisoners trying to clear their names. The CCRC must be completely overhauled.”
“Helen Pitcher OBE Chair of the Judicial Appointments Commission talked to Bhini Phagura from Raydens solicitors about her career.
Tell us about your career progression which led to your appointment as the Chair of the Judicial Appointments Commission:
“I studied law at QMC London and used this degree as a basis for a career in commerce, where I rapidly progressed up the ranks to become an Executive and Divisional Director in Grand Metropolitan. I retained a footprint in the law in various roles related to Standards, Fairness, Equity and Diversity.“
Well…wouldn’t you just know it?
There’s more:
“The first role I held in parallel to my Commercial career was as a lay representative of the Professional Conduct and Complaints Committee of the Bar Council.” [now split into the Bar Standards Board and the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal].
Yes, there is usually at least one useless woman of this sort sitting (well-paid, too), but doing nothing, when a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal sits. In 5-person tribunal cases (as mine was, in fact wrongly— it should have been a 3-person tribunal, which has no power to disbar) there are usually two such women (they always seem to be women, as on benches of lay magistrates), invariably a pair of unsmiling and stupid “bookends”. Useless box-tickers. See also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.
“I also became a lay representative on the Employment Appeal Tribunal and still hold this office.
I then joined the Queens Counsel (as it was then) Selection Panel and rapidly became its chair. Whilst there we improved the Diversity Statistics.“
Again the “diversity statistics“… Why am I not at all surprised?
“I held this role for 9 years. On stepping down, I decided not to apply for another role as I also had a burgeoning Consultancy and Portfolio Career. About 18 months later, however, an advertisement for the role of the Chair of the CCRC (Criminal Cases Review Commission) was brought to my attention.
Last year the role of Chairman at the JAC (Judicial Appointments Commission) became available. A Headhunter contacted me having uncovered my background on LinkedIn. I checked with the MoJ that there was no conflict of interest and submitted my application. On December 31st following a Justice Select Committee earlier in the month, I was appointed and took up the post on January 16th [2023].”
My role as chair involves leading the Board, ensuring appropriate oversight on governance and providing appropriate challenge and support to the executive. I am also involved in some of the most senior appointments.
I have rationalised my portfolio (which was a Commitment I gave to the JSC) in order to ensure I have the appropriate amount of time to devote to this key role.
You are holding this role for 3 years from January 2023, what are your aims/goals?
The strategic aims were already set, however they are due for a refresh as the period they covered draws to a close. These aims, which are developed in conjunction with the Board and executive, are on our website and thus in the public domain.
Our primary purpose set out by statute is to recruit on merit, our secondary (and no less important role) is to assist the rest of the judicial system to increase the diversity pool. It is for this reason that I also chair the Judicial Diversity Forum, which has a clear action plan to achieve its aims.”
So the secondary role is as important as the primary one? How muddled and wrongheaded is the stupid woman?
[Legal Women (online-only) magazine]
The interview is rather badly written, unfortunately, with superfluous upper-case here and there; as can be seen, it is the product of an Indian woman.
Well, there we have it. That greedy and plainly incompetent Pitcher woman has made a whole career, and no doubt a very lucrative one, out of “diversity”, tokenism etc. First of all, in her own person, by being a “token woman”, or one token woman, on commercial and quango boards. Secondly, by being a Trojan horse for more “diversity” and “inclusion” (etc) in important public offices.
Helen Pitcher, who seems to me to be a useless “diversity” box-ticker, has, inter alia, sat in the seat of judgment over employment appeal cases, over the cases of supposedly defaulting barristers etc, and has even been (and apparently still is) the head of the body which appoints judges, including those at the highest level.
Helen Pitcher is, at time of writing, doing, and of course getting paid for doing, several different jobs simultaneously. She is probably making between half a million and a million pounds a year. For what? Ruining various bodies? Ticking various “diversity” and “anti-racism” boxes? Shoving our society further into the mire?
Look at how Helen Pitcher is clinging on to her CCRC role, presumably in order to maximize the money she gets before she is forced out. At least, that seems to me to be her motivation. Very telling, if so.
This latest scandal, including Helen Pitcher’s “march through the institutions”, is so typical of the way in which things generally have been allowed to develop in the UK in the past 30+ years.
You can see the way the UK is going, at least partly because of stupid and over-promoted women such as Helen Pitcher (and, yes, also men, not infrequently)— straight down.
God knows what state this country will be in in 2029 or 2034, let alone 2054 (which last I shall not have to witness, thank God, not from the Earth plane anyway).
Andrew Malkinson has called the former head of the miscarriage of justice watchdog “shameless” as she resigned from the job saying she had been “scapegoated for entirely legitimate decisions” taken over his case.
Helen Pitcher handed in her resignation as chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) on Tuesday afternoon after learning that an independent panel had concluded by a majority of two to one that she was no longer fit to be chair.
In a letter to the justice secretary she said she felt that she had been chosen as a “scapegoat at an early stage” for the Malkinson case and that “a head had to roll and I was chosen for that role”.
Malkinson said: “Helen Pitcher’s attempt to portray herself as the victim here is shameless.
The Guardian revealed thatPitcher had been in Montenegro promoting her property business in the weeks after Malkinson’s conviction was overturned and the organisation was in crisis after its failure to apologise to him.“
[Guardian]].
“Her property business” (as well as all the rest)?
Helen Pitcher thus managed to blag another 6-7 months’ pay and expenses, and pension contributions, when she should have resigned in mid or early 2024.
“Shameless” indeed, the horrible and avaricious old hag.

Summary of the Israeli strike according to what is known so far:

“Summary of the Israeli strike according to what is known so far: – Approximately 25 F-15 and F-35 aircraft, accompanied by refueling planes, flew about 2000 kilometers toward the city of Hodeidah in Yemen.
– The strike was carried out in 8 waves.
-The attack destroyed fuel depots, inflicted damage on the port, and destroyed a power station north of the port.
– The fire is still burning and is expected to continue for several more days.
– There is a power outage across the entire region.
– The message of the strike is clear: this is not a strike on military targets (which has been done by the coalition over the past 9 months) but an attack on the already struggling Yemeni economy, causing significant economic damage.
– The attack on the port is a direct response to the damage Yemenis have caused to the port of Eilat.
– The message to the rest of the Middle East is also clear: the Bandar Abbas port and the Kharg Island, from where most of Iran’s oil is exported, are in Israel’s sights, as well as the port of Beirut.
– Israel has decided to take off the gloves; this is not a minor strike like those in Iran.
– The Houthis are threatening to retaliate, but it is unclear what the threat entails, as they have already attacked Israel 200 times.”

Middle East, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Far East. All now under threat of major regional wars.
Even worse, those maniacs are actually considering Hillary Clinton. Direct war with Russia will then be a certainty.
There are too many egos at stake, and too many sunk costs. What this means is that the pro-Ukrainian true believers won't concede anything has collapsed until Kiev is under Russia's control.
“Ukraine lines are collapsing. After 380 billions of aid pledged to Ukraine since the war begin; 118 billion are direct military aid; many countries literally emptied out entire inventory countless military units to give their weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine is STILL losing grounds everyday. Lost 5 towns in the past 48hrs. The fortress city of Krasnohorivka is falling as we speak; Russia threatens cut the Oskil Frontlines in half with the likely capture of Pishchane. Still not collapsing? This is not collapse of frontlines, then what is?“
I'm no military man, but from a purely common sense perspective, assessing the saleability in terms of effective manpower Ukraine has left, disregarding poorly trained conscripts thrown uselessly into the meat grinder, then the rubber and road meeting indeed appears to draw near.

I have not been to London since that brief visit in 2022, and am glad of it. I no longer have the Rolex watches I had 25+ years ago (or want them, or need them, or can afford them) but, if I did, I think that they would not stay on my wrist very long in the London of 2024.
Why can people who should know better not accept the truth that is in front of their eyes? In a word, deluded.
One aspect of London that seems to have radically improved in recent years, though, is the public transport network. New lines, new trains, new ways of travelling around the conurbation. Crossrail/Elizabeth Line for one. I do not speak, however, from personal experience of the new lines, just from what I have read online.

Well over 20 years ago, in 2000, I happened to meet and get to know (somewhat), in Bournemouth, a young blonde woman (20 or so) I first encountered in a photography shop, and who was very proud of her father, vice-Chancellor of (if I remember aright) Lancaster University. She talked about him rather a lot, and thus I learned that (again, if I remember aright) his salary was over £200,000 a year, which would be pretty good even today, by most people’s standards. In fact, the Bank of England online calculator shows that you could almost double that in today’s money. So today— maybe £400,000.

Well, this week I scored the same as political journalist John Rentoul— 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 8 (in fact I had read about the last, but had forgotten it).
Historical note
On this day, 80 years ago, backstabbers attempted to kill Adolf Hitler and then to seize power in Berlin and over the Third Reich: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_July_plot.
Classical Hochverrat [“high treason”].
I am willing to accept that some of the conspirators acted out of a sense of higher duty, and with the idea of bringing a halt to the war on the Western Front, and so also bringing a halt to the devastating aerial bombing of Germany (which eventually killed as many as 800,000 people). However, to attempt the assassination of the head of both state and government at such a time of crisis can only be seen as treason, if the term has any meaning [see also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2020/01/08/treason-is-a-matter-of-timing/].
The conspirators wanted to call a halt, via armistice or truce, on the Western Front but continue to fight Stalin’s Soviet Union on the Eastern Front. They seem to have believed that the Americans and British would have accepted that. Not impossible, but very unlikely. Roosevelt and Churchill, at the Casablanca Conference in early 1943 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casablanca_Conference] had jointly called for the war against the German Reich to be fought until the latter declared unconditional surrender.
I cannot but feel some understanding of the motives of the 20 July 1944 conspirators, despite their treason, and despite their attempt to kill Hitler. They wanted to keep Germany, and all Central Europe, from being completely obliterated. They were unaware at the time of the progress being made by Jewish scientists in the USA towards the development of an atomic bomb (originally planned to be used against Germany, not —primarily— Japan); had they known of it, they would perhaps have felt doubly justified.
The 20 July plotters gambled for the highest stakes, and lost.
I do not “condone” the actions of the plotters; neither do I “condemn” them (and my views make no difference either way). Let history judge. Die Weltgeschichte ist das Weltgericht [“the history of the world is the judgment of the world”— Schiller].

“Germany plans to halve its military aid to Ukraine in 2025, to €4bn, despite concerns over continued US support, according to a draft budget seen by Reuters. Instead the German government hopes Ukraine will be able to meet the bulk of its military needs with $50bn in loans from proceeds of frozen Russian assets approved by the G7, and that funds earmarked for armaments will not be fully used.”
There is no “Ukraine” as such now, just the Kiev regime, which can either be regarded as a “failed state” or a non-state.
Since 1997 over 12million immigrants have entered Britain. 80% remain dependent on Welfare. Total cost is £50k per person pa. This is a staggering amount of money. Close to £500billion. It's destroying our economy.

“A single mother-of-two, who framed an innocent woman when she drove a pick-up truck and towed a trailer illegally, has dodged jail after revealing her personal woes.
Juliann Quilligan, 27, from Skelmersdale, Lincolnshire falsely told police her name was Rebecca Williams when she was pulled over for illegally towing a trailer on the M62.
The mother was driving her Mitsubishi L200 without being insured and kept quiet as police added eight points to the unaware woman’s licence.
She argued that she became ‘panicked’ and ‘frightened’ when dealing with police due to mental health issues exacerbated by her estrangement from the travelling community which she fled in 2019 so her children could go to school.
The victim – Miss Williams – only discovered she had been wrongly convicted in her absence when she attempted to renew the insurance policy on her own car.“
[Daily Mail]
Egregious. Also, leaving aside the sheer injustice of it all, note the absence of proper journalism and sub-editing of that report. “Skelmersdale, Lincolnshire“, writes the Daily Mail scribbler, one Shannon McGuigan, when surely a “journalist” should know that Skelmersdale is in Lancashire…
Again, the Daily Mail report is really quite poorly-written, something which is now almost the norm in most newspapers.

This is spot on. You can have available & affordable housing for our young people & British families. Or you can have an immigration-fuelled population explosion.
The backlash from the people has grown, in the UK, in Ireland, and also across mainland Europe. In the UK, it drove the upsurge of voters for the actually rather mild Reform UK at the General Election of 2024 (over 4 million voters voted Reform UK. The Conservative Party only had about 6 million voters, and victorious Labour about 9 million).
The Conservative Party was dumped mainly because of both the invasion itself and also its down-the-line consequences, though sheer incompetence generally was also a major factor.

They also prefer to believe that you can import half a million or a million persons per year, mostly from very backward parts of the planet, to the UK, without any effect on public safety, a decent life, standards in all areas, you name it.

“Terrible news for Ukraine” – European experts on Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance Donald Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his candidate for the post of vice president of the United States has again raised fears in Europe that the former American leader will take a businesslike approach to foreign policy and will pursue it based on the principle of “America First,” writes The Guardian.
This, as the article notes, could lead to the United States insisting that Kyiv give in to Vladimir Putin and ask for peace with Russia. “It’s bad for us and it’s terrible news for Ukraine,” said one senior European diplomat in Washington. “Vance is not our ally.”
Foreign diplomats and observers often call Trump’s current policies a “black box,” saying it is impossible to know for sure what the unpredictable leader will do once in power. Some are comforting themselves by suggesting that leadership candidates such as former US national security adviser Robert O’Brien will maintain the status quo on foreign policy while Trump focuses on domestic affairs. But the would-be US president now has a much more energetic deputy who will stoke Trump’s skepticism about Ukraine and Europe while urging the party to pursue aggressive trade and foreign policies in other parts of the world.“

"The knowledge that at least some Conservative ministers opposed the woke agenda meant radical activists in the institutions could not fully let rip. But that leash came off when Labour won on July 4" – guest essay by leading scholar of wokeism @epkaufmhttps://t.co/zBe2Fqilc1
“Ultimately, this means that defending our truth-based order, free speech and national identity is considered undignified while sacrificing these values in the name of ‘equal outcomes’ and ‘emotional safety’ is not.
Of course, Labour is also proposing innocent-sounding legislation on hate speech and racial equality which will further supercharge this woke cultural socialism, shutting down offensive speech while pressuring organizations to discriminate against whites and males to achieve equal outcomes for identity groups.
Will Britain wake up in time to prevent…erosion of our long traditions of free speech, free expression, objective truth, equal treatment and due process? Will future generations be taught to hate the British past and the white men who played an outsized role in creating our national community?
At best, I think we have one or two decades to reverse the march of wokeism before today’s Zoomers and Millennials, who prioritise ‘emotional safety’ over free speech, become the median voter and the country reaches a point of no return.”

It will be recalled by older British readers that, in the Dikko case of 1984, an Israeli Jew doctor was directly involved in the MOSSAD operation to kidnap a former Nigerian government minister:
“The Dikko affair was a joint Nigerian–Israeli attempt to kidnap Umaru Dikko, a former Nigerian government minister living in the United Kingdom, in 1984, and secretly transport him back to Nigeria in a diplomatic bag. The kidnapping took place, but the transportation thereof was unsuccessful.
Mossad sources across Europe failed to locate Dikko. However, Mossad Director-General Nahum Admoni decided that Dikko was probably in London, which had become a haven for Nigerian exiles critical of the new regime.
Mossad field officers (katsas), accompanied by Nigerian security service agents led by ex-Nigerian Army Major Mohammed Yusufu, traveled to London. The Nigerian team rented an apartment on Cromwell Road and posed as refugees from the new regime. The Mossad agents rented rooms in hotels catering to tourists from Africa, and posed as anti-apartheid activists.
Working separately, the two teams moved among the Nigerian expat community in London, gradually narrowing their search to West London, to the area around Hyde Park, where many wealthy Nigerian exiles lived. They combed the electoral registers freely available in the area’s town halls, but found no trace of Dikko.
On 30 June 1984, a Mossad agent driving down Queensway, in Bayswater, spotted Dikko. He parked his car and then tailed Dikko on foot to his house in Porchester Terrace. Admoni was immediately informed, and ordered surveillance on the house. From then on, the house was constantly watched, while the Nigerians, using their London high commission as a base, prepared a kidnapping operation.
Meanwhile, Mossad recruited Levi-Arie Shapiro, an Israeli doctor who was a consultant anesthetist and director of the intensive care unit at HaSharon Hospital. He was to fly to London and participate in the operation. Shapiro’s job would be to drug Dikko, and insert an endotracheal tube to keep him from choking on his own vomit while being transported in a crate.”

Many will settle for a 20k salary so they avoid paying tax
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.
Government needs tax monies in order to fund the functions of government.

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.“

BBC Question Time is a show so biased, and serving a System agenda, that it would not have been out of place in the Soviet Union. Look at what happened to Nick Griffin about 14 years ago. A complete and rigged lynching.
There should be a massive purge of the cultural sector generally.
Labour don't have a serious plan to tackle mass uncontrolled migration.
The 1% of green belt will not be enough if they don't tackle mass uncontrolled migration.
Labour want GDP to grow but GDP per capita will drop & make us all poorer.
Tom Harwood is a horrible little bastard. A typical “knows the price of everything and the value of nothing” careerist.
Yes, they will take “just” 1% of the Green Belt…at first. That covers a year or two of the “need” for new “homes”. A couple of years later, with another 1M+ immigrants to house, guess what? Another 1% (or more) of the Green Belt will be “needed”. And so on…
All that will feed money to housebuilding giants and banks and, down the line, to organizations such as GB News, and to talking heads such as Tom Harwood.
As tweeted there, “Labour” has no, or no effective, plan, because (just like the “Conservatives”) they want more immigration. Evil. Treacherous. Coudenhove-Kalergi puppets.

“The consumption of material resources using the photovoltaic technology is at least 64 times that of nuclear energy. For the production of the solar-grade silicon for one square meter of panel area it requires 3.5 kg of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The weight of concrete, steel and chemicals used, such as acids/ bases, etchants, elemental gases, dopants, photolithographic chemicals etc. are never included. PV technology is more than 7 times more labor intensive than other energy sources. They never include disposing of the worn out panels, recycling copper wiring etc. after solar farms have reached end of life. So when they tell you solar makes back the energy used to build and maintain them in X amount of time, they are actually lying to you.”
Interesting, nicht wahr, that all these supposed imperative “needs”, such as concreting over the English countryside to provide “homes” (mostly for migrant-invaders), or creating massive solar farms in the countryside or, indeed, creating fake “vaccines” and the “need” for this, that, or the other anti-“pandemic” equipment and services, always seem to mean massive profit for greedy landowners, farmers, giant companies, the mass media organizations etc?

Reform GAIN from Conservatives ➡️|🌳
Reform Party candidate Steph Harwood leads the Conservatives by 1.9%!
GE 2024 may be nailed on for Labour, but there is everything still to play for in respect of Reform UK; also, in terms of really wiping out (or not) the totally useless “Conservative” Party. Still 4 days or so to go before the campaign is at an end. About a fifth of eligible voters are still unsure whether to bother voting, and/or where to place their cross.
If Reform UK only gets about 15% or 16% across the board, then that will be underwhelming, though it should sink the Conservative Party. In that event, Reform would probably get only one or two MPs. If, on the other hand, Reform can get about 23%, then it might end up with 50+ MPs, and the map of British politics will have been irrevocably changed.
Talk TV, one of the Murdoch assets, was one of the few msm outlets to report on my free speech trial sentencing hearing. It managed to get the sentence completely wrong, stating that I had been “jailed“!
That interviewee was right. Talk TV/Talk Radio are indeed “clowns“.
The mass media are under (((control))), just as the entire political system is monitored and controlled. Once even a mild-ish small-c conservative party such as Reform UK starts to become popular with the masses, the control starts to become more heavy-handed. It is pretty blatant.

What other party could do this in the Britain of 2024? Brexit Party did it, on a smaller scale, but Farage stabbed it in the back. This time, he obviously plans to take it to the end (Election Day).
Like the end of the 1934 Nuremberg rally, but without a proper social-national party, movement, ideology, or leader.
Still, if it destroys at least half of the “two main parties” scam, and moves the “Overton Window” a bit (or a lot), I am relatively happy…

I revisited him last week, during a week-long trip through Israel and the West Bank, and I found that settlers have burned his cars and destroyed his tractor. They have cut down his olive trees and set his sheep shed on fire. They tried to break into his house when his granddaughter was home. Now his wife is arguing that they should give up their home, for fear of being burned alive by settlers.
This is life on the West Bank today. It doesn’t get as much attention as Gaza, but the situation is desperate. And the US is largely AWOL. I know it feels a long way away, but this is central to the Middle East crisis and is one reason I fear the crisis will get worse.

EXCLUSIVE: We’ve gone undercover inside Nigel Farage’s Reform UK campaign in Clacton and found evidence of anti-migrant rhetoric, homophobia and one canvasser making racist and offensive remarks. As @DarshnaSoni reports. pic.twitter.com/VkhVLczjcw
The System is now getting very worried about the level of support being shown even for Reform UK, a basically small-c conservative-type party. The anti-Reform UK rhetoric is now close to that displayed in the past against more social-national parties such as the BNP and, further back still, the National Front.
The System thinking must be, “if even Reform UK can be so disruptive, how more so would be a credible and genuinely social-national party?“
That anti-Reform UK propaganda is broadcast as Reform UK reaches heights of popular support few thought that it would or could reach.
Some polls are putting Reform UK as high as 20%, and all are putting it well above 15%, the average now being around 17%.
Meanwhile, support for the Conservative Party has dropped to as low as 18%, and may go even lower. I have just yesterday heard admittedly anecdotal evidence that, in my own local area (in coastal Hampshire, and one of the most heavily-Con in England), lifelong Con voters are planning to vote anywhere other than Con or Labour. Many, perhaps most (?), are switching to Reform UK, and some to the LibDems.
I was just looking at my blog from about 8 or 9 months ago. I thought then that Reform UK would get a nationwide popular vote of at least 15% and, at the outside, 20%. Seems that I was right (so far).
Estimates of the number of MPs Reform UK might have by 5 July 2024, i.e. once the votes are counted, range from 1 or 2 to as many as 22. A few Reform UK optimists are doubling or even tripling that. It seems very open, with less than a week to go.
I doubt whether the Channel 4 undercover silliness will change the minds of many people planning to vote Reform UK, as witness the tweets below:
I doubt that more than a few hundred of the voters of Clacton will have even seen the “expose”. In any case, the main person shown was merely a volunteer. It may even be that some people will be more inclined to vote for Reform after having seen the Channel 4 piece. You never know.
There is also the point that postal voting has already taken place. Many of the older and/or disabled British voters, as at Clacton, will by now have voted.
Farage seems nailed-on to win at Clacton, as far as I can see. The Conservative Party candidate has not even been seen (by me anyway) on TV or online, while the young African standing as Labour MP has apparently been redeployed to help another Labour candidate, in the West Midlands, and has thus left the field of battle at Clacton.
I can only suppose that Starmer decided that only the Con candidate had any chance of beating Farage, having scored 72.3% in 2019, so scaled back the Labour effort at Clacton to zero for nakedly tactical reasons.
Also, the fact that Labour deliberately chose an African for its candidate at Clacton, of all places, would be likely to prompt a surge in support for Reform UK. Anyway, he’s gone elsewhere, and will probably not be seen at Clacton until the count on Election Night. I still think that he might lose his deposit.
As blogged previously, while I am not a Reform UK supporter, as such, its existence moves the “Overton Window” a bit, at the very least, and will help to break down the “two main parties” scam.
The public’s view of the mostly System politicians is not favourable. Even Starmer, on the crest of his “popularity by default”, is only viewed favourably by just over a third of voters.
Look at Sunak. Only 19%, the same as the Conservative Party. I begin to wonder whether previously undecided voters will actually start to pile in against the Conservative Party now, or at the last minute, thus reducing the Conservative vote to somewhere below that 19%, maybe as low as 16%. We shall know in 6 days’ time.

I tend to agree, up to a point, with that last tweeter. Yes, the Cons are doomed, but look at what the Labour Party now is! A mixture of Blair-Brown-style fake communitarian rhetoric, “woke” craziness, “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) partisanship, and pro-Israel-ism, combined with pro-Jewish lobby repression of free speech and, in terms of domestic policy, almost indistinguishable in reality from the policies of the Conservative Party.
Incidentally, it is Bicester and Woodstock, a new constituency, not just Woodstock. That may explain the close polling.
Even Reform UK has more support among the under-30s in the UK, especially in England, than many suppose. A real social-national party might be able to capture far more hearts and minds.
This really is stunning. If accurate, it may mean a House of Commons with 483 Labour MPs (overall majority 316), 73 LibDems, 27 Reform UK, and only 22 Con Party MPs (SNP 18, Green 4 etc). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.
It would mean the LibDems as official Opposition, and Reform UK with several more MPs (27 in toto) than the rump of the old Conservative Party (22), which would not be the Opposition, not even third party, but a poor fourth. Finished. Washed-up.
I have yet to meet, in the past month or even longer, even one person who expresses an intention to vote Con. There may be some people I meet who intend to vote Con without my knowing it, of course; I meet relatively few people, and rarely talk directly about politics with most of those that I do meet. All the same…
In fact, and by my use of Electoral Calculus, it may be that, were Reform UK to poll at 24%, only 3 points higher than in this latest poll, Reform could edge the LibDems out of second place, which would mean Reform UK as the official Opposition, and Farage as Leader of the Opposition! Were that to happen, I should have to eat my words of a year or two ago (dismissing him as not such an effective politician despite his oratorical and mass media skills).

[Bournemouth Echo]
Well, while I would never condone spitting at (or for that matter, throwing milkshakes over) people (as a Labour supporter did to Farage recently), if a candidate wants to knock on people’s doors to engage them in political debate, he must expect some of his “victims” to cut up rough, bearing in mind what the System parties have been doing to this country.

Sources stressed to the BBC that the PM’s top adviser – dubbed the ‘Treasury Travolta’ during Mr Sunak’s time as Chancellor due to his fondness for leather jackets – is not a suspect in the regulator’s investigation and had not placed a bet himself.“
[Daily Mail]
Can you believe it, even today, as the UK goes into a tailspin? The Chief of Staff of the UK Prime Minister— and look at the bastard!
“Liam Booth-Smith (born 1987) is a British political adviser who has served as the Downing Street Chief of Staff since October 2022. He previously served as de facto chief of staff to then-chancellorRishi Sunak as head of the Joint Economic Unit.
I know that I often expostulate in this vein, but this country really is ****** on so many levels…
[Update, 16 January 2026: Liam Booth-Smith must have been born under a lucky star— he was elevated to the House of Lords by Sunak, in his 2024 Resignation Honours List, so now gets about £400 a day taxfree just for rolling up, for as brief a time as half an hour, any sitting day, i.e. about 200 per year. About £80,000 a year taxfree, for not necessarily doing anything at all. He also makes a great deal more via his salary, bonuses etc as executive of an AI company. As a John le Carre character called this country, “the pigs in clover society“…]

In the 1970s, Britain still had many avenues open to it. Now, it is as if (?) we are painted into a corner, with almost nowhere to turn.

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.

Ha ha! Anna Soubry, the notorious former “MP for Plymouth and Angostura” (she briefly threatened me online with a libel suit when I first tweeted that humorous description of her, many years ago, the silly creature), talks about Farage being “a gob shite“!
I can well understand why Anna Soubry has no mirrors around her, but she ought to take a good look at herself some time…
Ha. Yes, that is what is happening. A million migrant-invaders a year? Putin’s fault. Housing crisis? Putin’s fault. Nothing working properly any more in the UK? Putin’s fault.
If the “occupied” UK TV, radio, and newspapers disappeared tomorrow, the air would be cleaner.
