Range said to be around 1,000 miles. If that increases, with another missile type, to 6,000 miles, the Americans can start to worry.

I think that Israel decided some time ago to clear the Gaza enclave of its population, in order to plant Jewish towns there. Pure genocide, surely, whatever legal quibbles Jew-Zionist lawyers may make. Lebensraum

When will the American dog stop allowing the Israeli tail to wag that American dog?

If the Chinese decide that the American market is closed to them, the consequences might go well beyond economics, and might well be unexpected.

Even GE 2024 Labour voters do not trust Labour. Only 45% think that Labour can be trusted to fulfil whatever it has promised!

I am thinking that a goodly proportion of Labour voters at GE 2024 were only Labour voters because that seemed the best way of kicking out the Conservative Party at the time.

As to the GE 2024 Reform UK voters, 76% of them think that Reform can be trusted. That, of course, has never been put to the test, because Reform has never had any political power.

Digging slightly deeper, 76% of GE 2024 Conservative voters think that the Con Party can be trusted (to my mind, remarkable, looking at the 14 years of lies, incompetence, mass migration invasion etc that preceded GE 2024). Well, in any event, of those who voted, only <24% voted Conservative, and only three-quarters of those now trust the party for which they voted. I imagine that most of those still on board are elderly or very elderly.

Labour is in a worse position yet. Of those who voted at GE 2024, only 33% voted Labour, and less than half of those voters now trust Labour (very understandably).

Well, not a good week. I scored only 4/10, but still just beat political journalist John Rentoul, who got a mere 3/10. I knew only the answers to questions 4, 5, 8, and 9. I might also have guessed question 7 but, out of the two or three most likely battles, guessed the wrong one.

Chilling Pentagon documents may reveal why the ‘Deep State’ has always feared the release of the John F. Kennedy assassination files.

A 12-page report, signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) in 1962, details a secret plan to commit heinous acts against American citizens to justify war with Cuba in the 1960s.

Code-named Operation Northwoods, this top-secret plot proposed enacting terrorism on US cities in a what is known as a ‘false flag operation’, before blaming Cuba in order to fool the Americans into supporting war efforts to oust communist Fidel Castro.

JFK rejected Operation Northwoods when it came across his desk and was shot.

A conspiracy theory surrounding JFK’s assassination claims he was killed by Israel which allegedly controls the US ‘Deep State.’ 

Now, President Donald Trump has promised to release all classified documents relating to JFK’s assassination, which could potentially lead to more shocking revelations about the US government’s activities during the 1960s.

Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor— latest

That refers to the case, and the aftermath of the case, of Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased) and Cantor, in which it seems that self-promoting Jew-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis gave advice, and committed acts, both negligent and dishonest (and not for the first time, by any means).

If—

By Rudyard Kipling

(‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)

“If you can keep your head when all about you   

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;   

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   

    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

    And treat those two impostors just the same;   

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!”

Wes Streeting, and his fellow Labour Friends of Israel members in Starmer’s hapless hopeless Government, are just empty vessels, making much noise. Even their noise, though, strikes me as being of the past, a tired rehash of Blair-Brown-ism mixed with rather a lot of Cameron-Levita/Osborne pseudo-“austerity” nonsense.

Starmer-Labour has nothing at all to offer the British people (as I predicted a year ago).

They are still, also, pushing the obviously false, untrue, mantra, “Diversity is our strength“, which only the very dim and/or totally deluded still believe.

Not quite the same as my solution…

Wall. Squad. End.

In the phrase of Katie Hopkins, “Bonkers Batshit Britain“…

According to Electoral Calculus, that would mean about 303 Labour seats, 138 Reform UK, 91 Con, 71 LibDem. So probably a Lab minority government with LibDem support, but possibly a Labour minority govt. with support from SNP and other minor parties. Labour would have to get a dozen or two dozen votes from somewhere.

Reform UK would be the official Opposition either way, on those figures.

The Israelis are said to do the same.

According to Electoral Calculus, the result of that, replicated in a general election, would be Labour— 179 Commons seats; Reform UK— 170 seats; Conservatives— 165 seats; LibDems 72; Greens, 7.

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

So a hung Parliament. Any of the top three could try to rule as a very weak minority government. Alternatively, Reform could ally itself in some form with the Conservatives, and get over the line that way. Maybe even a “grand coalition” of the System parties (LibLabCon). In that event, Reform would be the official Opposition, with every chance of later, after a further election, becoming the governing party.

Reform UK is morphing into a System party anyway, but the Overton Window is moving. Reform UK is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination.

Incidentally, were Reform to go from 26% to 27% (and all other parties stay where they are), the result would be Reform UK— 202; Labour 165; Conservatives 147; LibDems 72; Greens 7.

Untermensch.

Wall. Squad. End.

…because we do not have a truly British government; we have a Labour Friends of Israel NWO/ZOG/WEF “elected” dictatorship.

If Reform UK can become largest party in the Commons, they would have no need to “merge” with the Con-servative Party. They could govern as a minority government. If the System parties refuse to play ball, Reform could simply blame those other parties for the inability to govern, then call another general election, with every chance of getting a majority.

If the weakness of governments continues, that might be the opening a social-national movement needs in order to rise up.

A commentary on Donald Trump, relayed to me by a reader of the blog: https://nationalvanguard.org/2025/01/keep-talkin-trash-donald/.

Worth reading.

Written, I now see, by the well-known Kevin Alfred Strom [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Alfred_Strom], and I now also see from Wikipedia that he was a colleague of a Dr. Fields [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Reed_Fields], a short and rather fat man (if memory serves; I may be wrong on that) when I heard him speak, and to whom I was introduced, at one of the regular evening meetings of the League of St. George, which were held at Kensington Library (London) in the mid-1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Saint_George. At the time, I was a member of the League.

I recall Dr. Fields as having been dressed in a white or cream suit (and possibly hat as well, I do not remember; I think so), and with a large flag on a stick sticking out of his lapel pocket. I cannot now quite remember whether the flag was the Stars and Stripes or the Confederate flag.

Fields was introduced to the audience as the representative of something called the National States’ Rights Party [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_States%27_Rights_Party].

Remarkably, Fields is still around, according to Wikipedia, and aged 92; he looked at least in late middle-age when I met him in the mid-1970s, but must in fact have been only about 45.

Trump on the line?

How can France imprison Musk when he is not even in France? Macron and his EU cabal must be getting desperate.

I wrote about Macron’s strange background years ago:

Southport will consume everyone today but 12 yo Leo, murdered 2 days ago in cold blood returning from school – only a short walk home – adored by all and described by his Head as funny & sweet will fall back. I took my son to school and back without fail at that age, I could not let go of him.

While understandable anxiety from a mother, and in a London which is now somewhere between a jungle and a zoo (I believe that she lives in West Kensington), 12-year-old boys surely do not need their mothers to escort them everywhere.

I was 12 in September 1968. My family was then living in Sydney, N.S.W. I would occasionally travel into the city centre (now, but not then, called the “CBD” or Central Business District), taking the ferry across Sydney Harbour from Cremorne Point to Circular Quay, a 3-mile trip. I even did it when aged only 11. I would then wander around Sydney’s central area, going wherever the mood took me.

I can remember going into a bookshop (I bought a book on Arabic, for no good reason), the offices of the Swiss Bank Corporation, and the very lively Stock Exchange (mining stocks were booming at the time, and the part of the trading floor dealing with them was frenetic, seen by me though the glass window of the public gallery).

[1966 photo of the ferry in Mosman Bay near Cremorne Point. My family lived in Mosman in 1967, then moved about a quarter-mile to the next suburb, Cremorne]
Cremorne Point wharf before the First World War, a view which was still somewhat recognizable (at least the general situation and the ferry pontoon) when I used it a few times in 1967-69. You could see little sharks swimming in the water, and the pontoon swayed as the ferry came in]
[in some more recent year; in 1967, the pontoon wharf was not covered or glassed-in]

Reverting to my main point, when I was only just 13 (by about 2 weeks), and on my family’s return trip by sea to the UK (we had arrived by air), my parents let me walk around alone on the various stops the liner Oriana made en voyage, including Acapulco (at that time not the large and crime-ridden city it now is, admittedly) and Miami (which involved my taking, entirely alone, both a local bus in Port Everglades and then a Greyhound bus to central Miami, and the same in reverse; the ship was scheduled to depart that same evening!).

I have to admit that, if I had a boy of 12-13, I would probably not give him quite that amount of latitude. I think that my main point is still valid. At some point, children (especially boys) have to be given the chance to look after themselves by wandering around etc.

Stray reminiscence

The above recollections sparked another reminiscence of my few years of Australian childhood (aged 10-13).

My parents always had a range of friends, and in Sydney one of those (met via my Anglo-Australian uncle, a business executive) was a barrister called Johnny Szabo, of Hungarian origin. I believe that he and his brother had taken the opportunity to leave socialist Hungary in or following the Uprising of 1956. Before that, Szabo had fought as a tank commander in the Second World War, alongside German forces.

As I understand, the Szabo brothers at first operated a repair garage or body shop in Sydney but, by the mid-1960s, Johnny Szabo was a prominent barrister who, I think I was told, took silk (was appointed QC). I do not really remember him except by name and story, though. I vaguely recall having met him once or twice. I imagine that he must have been born around 1920, so would now be long gone.

It does show how Australia was a land of opportunity for many after 1945. Wolf Blass, the German winemaker of note, would be another example. He arrived in South Australia almost penniless in 1961. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Blass. https://www.wolfblass.com/en-gb/about/our-history.html.

Let us say, for the sake of argument, that the aforesaid untermensch had not killed anyone. Would there, even then, be any reason for the British people to tolerate his presence, that of his family and clan or, for that matter, others, being in the UK, or in any part of Europe? I say not.

The only reasonable agreement will be for the Kiev regime to withdraw its capital to Lvov, though with authority over all Ukrainian territory west of the Dnieper except for the cities of Kiev and Odessa, which should be declared free cities, or having condominium status. Russia to rule all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper and also a corridor of land along the Black Sea coast, both east and west of Odessa.

If that is implemented, and with Kiev-regime losses at or beyond the present level, it could spell demographic catastrophe for Ukraine.

That will turn South Africa, at long last, into the usual African-ruled “basket case”, of course. The dwindling white minority has kept South Africa at least semi-civilized since that idiot Mandela took over in the early 1990s, but whites have been emigrating in very large numbers since then. Eventually, perhaps not long in the future, the chaos and misrule, in some cases amounting to savagery, seen in most of black Africa will engulf South Africa. Once European/white rule ended, that was always going to be the endgame.

In my own mind, knowing two or three people, previously healthy, who (having been multiply-“vaccinated” by the anti-“Covid” poison) have had to endure heart bypasses etc, I have no doubt that the sane thing to do is to avoid being dosed with this pharmaceutical effluent. I avoided the supposed “vaccines” and am very glad I did.

Good. A 100% puppet of NWO/ZOG.

Doubt that I now count as anything other than one of the “newly-poor”, really; I used to use Waitrose often, about 4x a week, but over the past 15 years, especially the last 5 years, the quality of produce has worsened (much worse than Tesco, or even Lidl) and the once-stellar service from always-pleasant staff of all ages has deteriorated to the point of no return. I therefore rarely use Waitrose now.

My local area has a Marks & Spencer food store, and there is a Tesco 5 miles away, a Lidl and Aldi about the same distance. I like Lidl for its foreign products’ weeks, mainly, when they sell such as Polish sour-cherry juice, Greek feta etc.

As for free coffee, when you have to take your own cup in, the offer becomes much less attractive.

Ha ha! Ridiculous System talking head blames online retailer for selling a knife used by a non-white crazie to attack a child. That is so typical of Britain today.

In the past, if a shop sold a knife, or even a firearm, later used by some criminal or lunatic to hurt or kill some one else, the criminal or lunatic was blamed, not the retailer!

The James O’Brien type (a type found not only in the msm, but also among the more self-deluding part of the public) is desperate not to blame the influx of backward populations, aka “the diversity”, for crimes of that type. Oh, no, it must be the fault of those selling knives!

I wanted to buy a knife (for more usual purposes) recently, in Tesco (I think it was). Sorry, we no longer sell knives…

When will this madness end? When “the diversity” are chucked out, I suppose, and not until then.

Actually, I do not blame only the criminal or lunatic— I blame also those responsible for importing backward populations into Europe, including the UK.

A few thoughts about Trump’s first days as President of the USA

My random thoughts start with the fact that Trump is unlikely to start a nuclear war with Russia. For me, that is number one, the question of primary importance. For a while, it looked as though the NWO/ZOG cabals were about to succeed in causing a third major war in Europe but, as far as I can see, that danger, though still present, may now be receding.

In fact, looking at Trump’s recent tweets about North Korea and other areas of the world, they read more like those of the businessman he is, rather than those of a warlord, statesman, or even ordinary politician. Trump is a businessman; he does not see the mileage in war or conflict— it interferes with the making of profits.

That businessman mentality is arguably out of place in the head of state of the most powerful state on Earth, but it has its positive aspect, i.e. the avoidance of war in Eastern and Central Europe, in the Middle East, and in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Presidential pardons for the rebels and/or protestors of 6 January 2020 are a very good thing, but I see that a number of social-national people convicted have been left unrescued. Trump should extend his courtesy and clemency to them as well.

Trump’s apparent hostility to a few countries not at all hostile to the USA —Mexico, Denmark (re. Greenland), Panama, and Canada— strikes me as entirely unnecessary.

I can only assume that Trump looks at the map, sees North America as a coherent whole, and then concludes that that whole continent should be under one rulership, US rulership. I seem to recall seeing a film (maybe starring Gary Cooper, not sure) in which an oligarchic cabal has a plan to take over not only the USA but also all of both North America and South America (and the bit in the middle, Central America). Did Trump once, in his own childhood long ago, see that same film? We shall never know. He himself may not even consciously recall seeing it, if indeed he ever did.

I note that Trump now says that the Israel-Gaza war is “not our war“, which is interesting. To me that says that he, now serving his second and final term as US President, no longer needs the Jewish lobby (though he has more in common with them, arguably, than he does with the Arabs and other Muslims).

Trump is not only a businessman; he is also one who thinks that he can negotiate successfully with anyone, and on any issue. He even wrote a book about it, The Art of the Deal. Thus he believes that he can strike a deal with anyone or any group or nation, based on mutual self-interest. That is likely to be successful, much of the time, but will fall down and fail when the adversary or opposing party is not motivated by self-interest as such, but by some fanatical or uncompromising belief.

Anyway, there it is. The next 4 years has begun.

Elon Musk

Much kefuffle about Musk’s odd “salute” gesture at the Inauguration.

I honestly do not know what to make of it.

I noticed that online “grifter” and pseudo-historian tweeter, Mike Stuchbery, tweeted about it:

In fact, Stuchbery has never had so many views on Twitter/X— 11M at time of writing. I believe that so many views might result in Twitter/X (and so, ultimately, and ironically, Musk) paying Stuchbery about USD $95. More than the bastard has earned in years! Still, I think that he will have to continue to rely on the largesse of the German social security/welfare system for the time being…

Actually, though he poses as “historian”, Stuchbery is not really one, not in the accepted sense.

My popular 2019 (inc. later updates) blog post about Stuchbery (who used to tweet about me from time to time) has just spiked again, by reason of his having tweeted about Musk in the past day or so. Hundreds of people today alone.

Panama Canal

I was once on a ship, the Oriana, going west to east through the Canal. In 1969. I was just (by about 2 weeks) 13 years old. The Canal was then in the Canal Zone, ruled by the USA. To go into Panama itself, tourists or visitors had to pass through a kind of US Customs and Immigration, in effect, though it was all done by special Canal Zone police. At age 13, I was fascinated by the sidearms worn by the said police. Real “Wild West” pistols, huge and heavy-looking, sticking out of leather holsters. The uniforms were khaki, I recall, with wide-brimmed “cowboy” hats, rather as in the photo below that I have just found online today:

The ones I saw had “Wild West” holsters, though, and bigger sidearms than those in the photo. The weapons were the other way around, too.

I had asked my parents to go on the short escorted tour of Panama City. Out of the nearly 2,000 passengers on the ship, only about a dozen or so had asked to go into Panama, possibly in part because the tour started in the very late evening.

I recall that the First Officer of the liner (who used to say hello to me as I swam endlessly up and down the swimming pool late at night— I was an odd boy, arguably) saw me waiting to disembark, as the ship was secured to the dock, and remarked to me that “every thief, murderer and rascal (I think it was) comes to Panama.” Obviously Panama was not his favourite place for shore leave…

The “run ashore”, in the Royal Navy phrase, was not without incident. The dark and quiet city was patrolled by submachinegun-carrying soldiers in groups. Nothing seemed to be open (perhaps unsurprisingly, at nearly midnight), and there was an air of menace. In fact, 1969 was a year of coups d’etat in Panama.

The evening ended with an unexpected diversion, literally. Our little single-decker bus, carrying the dozen intrepid passengers off the ship, was just about to fire up and drive back to the Canal Zone when a long-haired blond and youngish (30-ish) American man, in one of those leather jackets with tassels, and carrying a large knife, told the bus driver to drive to where he, a rather unfunny Crocodile Dundee lookalike (though this was 17 years before that film was released) wanted to go. I was seated right at the front, near the driver. The driver put up no more than token resistance. We drove to wherever it was that our hijacker (who stood up throughout the fairly short journey, brandishing his weapon) wanted to go; he then disembarked, to general relief. The driver drove back to the Canal Zone, fast.

My family did manage to take a more normal afternoon walk around, I think within the Zone itself, when the ship docked at the other end of the Canal, at or near Colon. I especially remember a shop where they sold all sorts of odd stuff, such as stuffed baby alligators about 6 inches long.

Incidentally, part of the trip through the Canal, the bit that is or seems natural, was like being in the film The Naked Jungle: small waterfalls falling from the jungle-clad shores, parrots etc. Incredible humidity.

Panama is of course very different today. I had some legal connection with it when I was a barrister doing offshore work. It changed out of all recognition after the American invasion and restructuring of, and after, 1989.

Trump’s idea of seizing the Canal seems to me misconceived. For one thing, there seems to be no need. For another, there is a plan to dig another Pacific-Atlantic canal, in Nicaragua, thus lessening, in theory, the risk of the Panama Canal being blocked. In any case, the USA has many large ports both on the Pacific and Atlantic, so why worry?

Another point would be that any seizure of the Canal would stir up huge anti-American sentiment across Latin America. So why…?

Though painfully slow, the Russian advance in the southeast of former Ukraine continues.

If and when Trump cuts off military materiel going to the forces of the Kiev regime, the Stavka can order a general advance with little prospect of serious opposition.

#TenGreenBottles

Ha. As I said, Trump thinks like a businessman, a property developer. Having said that, it may be that many actual Gazans might welcome heavy American investment, if it did not come with obvious Jewish control attached to it. At present, the enclave is pretty much uninhabitable. Massive investment would be needed to remedy the damage Israeli war crimes have done.

Translation: “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) wants hundreds of thousands of NATO troops, so that Russian forces can be pushed back, or so that NATO can in some other way be dragged into the war, or the next war.

Lunatic.

Correct, though very obvious…

Does anything in this country work properly any more?

Who, really, would vote for a Nigerian woman who, though born in London, was brought up entirely in Nigeria and the USA, and only came to this country aged 16? That, alone…

Apart from underwhelming pay and conditions, at least for those enlisting in the ranks, who would want to join armed forces of a country that pretends to be squaring up to Russia and China (both of which have armed forces 20 or 30 times the size of the UK’s) yet cannot even defend its own shores against migrant-invaders?

What are recruits supposed to be defending? A multikulti, mixed-race population? The wealthy and selfish 1%, most of whom are not even British in any real way? The Jewish lobby? The completely rotten mainstream media, legal professions, and treacherous “political class”? What, then? The self-interested and pathetic “Royal Family”, now consisting of Charles, Camilla, the tame thick princeling William (now already 42 y o), the ridiculous entitled nobody, Harry, and of course Meghan Mulatta?

Forget it.

If Reform succeeds, but is then found wanting, the British people will finally turn to the only possible alternative except full Communism— social nationalism.

I imagine that the lesson learned by the Palestinians of Gaza (etc) is that, to match the overwhelming military power of the Israelis, the only way is to take and keep Jewish hostages. Not, of course, the lesson the Israelis wanted to teach…

Say what you want about those people, they are incredibly resilient.

Major political mistakes, banal corruption and simply poor analysis of the situation – ignorance of history and misunderstanding of the nature of ‘Ukrainism’ – played their role ,” Medvedev said.

– “Biden did the worst at one point, essentially starting a war between the collective West and Russia, which almost turned into a nuclear conflict with NATO.”

” Recently, he clearly did not fully understand what was happening. Yes, we must admit, such a war is economically beneficial for the United States. But the political costs and the real danger of a fatal conflict are much greater. But the old man was not ready for this. This is a case when the head of the world’s largest power completely failed to cope with the situation . As a result, the Democrats unfortunately lost the elections. If Biden’s problem is his inadequacy, then the fault of his administration is that it deliberately left a very difficult crisis legacy on the Russian track for its successors. The harmful side effects of Biden’s decisions will continue to manifest themselves for a very long time , “Medvedev wrote on Telegram.

– “That is why it will take decades for Russian-American relations to fully normalize. Although, in my opinion, in the current reality this is impossible in principle. And frankly, it is not clear whether it is necessary at all,” Medvedev concluded.”

Even leaving aside her pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, quasi-“Conservative” politics, Liz Kendall is as thick as two short planks. Who on Earth would make her a Cabinet minister? Ah, yes…”Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer.

…and who on Earth would make that the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom? At least her present role cannot be lain at the door of Starmer; the “Conservatives” did that to themselves…

Like so many semi-educated blacks, Kemi Badenoch thinks that she is seriously intelligent. (cf. David Lammy, Shaun Bailey etc).

Look at what she did before becoming an MP. Another “diversity hire”.

Look also at the opinion polls! You can fool the British people much of the time (as the last 14+ years has proven), but there comes a point when even the British awaken from their sport and “celebrity” obsessions, and say “no, no, no”.

The Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder. They’re going down…

Frankly, I would not trust either side…

The press-gangs of the Kiev regime in operation again. What always strikes me about such video clips is that the uniformed regime operatives tend to be hesitant, almost shamefaced. Maybe because they know that they are sending their victims to their deaths?

Bombshell new poll on UK rape gangs. Keir Starmer is COMPLETELY out of touch with Britain:

-73% want national inquiry into rape gangs

-81% want foreign national groomers deported

-74% want dual national groomers deported

-79% say officials who failed shd be prosecuted

-of those, 66% say officials shd go to prison

-30% back death penalty for groomers + 47% back life sentences. Only 13% want current non-life sentences Friderichs/JL Partners, broke on @GBNEWS.”

“Hang ’em high!”

I am usually and in general against the death penalty, but I regard such a policy not as “judicial killing” but as an act of socio-political cleansing and also as a matter of white Northern Europeans taking back control.

Once the first few hundred have been dealt with, maybe in public, the Rubicon will have been crossed. There will be no going back. White Northern Europe will have declared war. Heimdall’s horn will have sounded.

Ukraine and Great Britain sign 100-year partnership agreement British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, during a visit to Kiev, also announced the transfer of a new air defense system to Ukraine, Reuters reports.

We have agreed that Britain will transfer at least $3.6 billion in military aid to us annually.

Today is a truly historic day, our relations are closer than ever ,” said Volodymyr Zelensky after signing the agreement.

Starmer said he would provide Ukraine with the necessary support “to put it in the strongest position to fight Russia in 2025.”

Starmer and his “elected” dictatorship have just stolen £2 billion a year from British pensioners, and are going, in effect, to send it to the Jewish dictator of “Ukraine”, in order to bolster his shambolic, brutal, and crumbling regime.

Starmer may be called Prime Minister of the UK, but is really just a New World Order and Zionist Occupation Government puppet.

Having said that, the “100-year Agreement” will probably last no longer than the “1,000-year Reich”…

Another puppet.

Suella Braverman has realized that even her fairly safe or formerly safe seat might go at the next election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fareham_and_Waterlooville_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

More pertinently, she realizes that, because the Conservative Party is on the way out, her chance of becoming Prime Minister, or indeed any kind of government minister, is vanishingly-small now.

Having said that, Suella Braverman is not particularly intelligent and, as far as I know, had a fairly mediocre Bar practice, so she might be better off trying to remain an MP— but for which party, Con or Reform?

If Suella Braverman defects to Reform and is their candidate next time at Fareham, she has a good chance of staying as MP. In 2024, she got a vote-share of 35% but Reform still did fairly well in 4th place (on 18%). She is known as having very similar views to Reform. She might well get 40% or more, maybe 50%, as a Reform UK candidate in that seat. As a Conservative Party candidate, her vote might decline to a level where Reform, or even the LibDems or Labour might succeed.

All the same, if she does defect, she would face three other serious candidates at the next election. Any one of them might win. I cannot see her standing down voluntarily from Parliament, though.

Maybe that kind of incursion is a possible way for Russian forces to deliver the coup de grace to the Kiev regime, a huge, swift devastating attack on the head of the serpent— Kiev itself. Had that been done in 2022, huge damage and misery could have been avoided.

That last tweet sums up my view too. Useless idiots.

Reform UK

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14280613/Reform-UK-Nigel-Farage-Labour-government-new-poll.html

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 Tories on 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.

[Daily Mail]

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.

The (continuing) “reduction of the Gaza ghetto”…

Either ship him back or just get rid of him (and the rest).

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.

My annual mammo is the best focus group of one you’ll get. Delightful radiographer tells me she’s never voted, they’re all as bad as each other and don’t listen to the NHS.

Furious about the social care plan delay not just as a healthcare worker but as the mother of a special needs adult who needs it. Her daughter volunteers in a food bank when she can, bless her.

3 disgraces in this story alone – underpaid NHS worker (my words not hers), crap & ludicrously expensive social care, food banks. 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…

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14282311/Cambridge-law-student-sues-university-failed-PhD.html

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.

[my old chambers in Colleton Crescent, Exeter, from where I practised law at the Bar during the years 2002-2008]

Worth watching.

What a ridiculous monkeyhouse Westminster is! Look at thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves (“Rachel from Accounts”) etc, all making noise, exchanging remarks, and laughing like badly-behaved schoolchildren. Then there is stupid Liz Kendall, sitting there like a nodding dog, and about as credible.

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.

That tells me that such System-approved msm types are both hugely over-remunerated and totally decadent. Britain needs a thoroughgoing cultural purge even more than it needs a political purge. Hitler-level. Stalin-level. Biblical-level.

Well, there it is. Switzerland has officially lost its senses.

I sincerely hope that someone or other will be at least equally “ruthless” to “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Lammy and the rest.

Rachel Reeves, aka “Rachel from Accounts (and Customer Relations)” has a grasp of real-world economics about as great, i.e. as poor, as George Osborne. Meaning very poor.

I wish some passer-by or anyone would just kick those women and their co-conspirators in the head. Smug, entitled, wrongheaded sub-terrorists. Yet look…all that the people there are doing is watching and/or taking stupid telephone videos of the incident.

If the criminals are arrested (and even that is doubtful), some magistrate will probably only give them a suspended sentence, which will not deter the next lot to do something similar.

As for wildlife extinction and the environment, I would bet the shirt off my back that those old or old-looking women support the nonsense of “refugees welcome”, the migration invasion, mass immigration etc. It is the superabundance of backward people in the world that is killing Nature, not oil and gas. Trying telling such idiots, though…they would not want to know. They have facile slogans where their brains should be.
