me too – never imagining the depth and breadth of dehumanising hatred of the Jews especially among the " cultured classes" utterly unable to find a shred of sympathetic solidarity with people murdered, raped, mutilated, burned. Thus it has been, for centuries – a shock it's now https://t.co/4ADh0HKy0J
After that first day in October 2023, which side has been doing the “murdering, mutilating, and burning”? (maybe not raping, I do not know).
As always, “they” see only their own hurt (whether actual or imagined). As someone once said, “they” can feel themselves to be the “victim” even as they beat you…
As for that specimen being interviewed— ghastly.
For me, and surely objectively, the idea that, after an admittedly egregious attack (by Hamas) lasting some hours, or one 24-hour period, the Israeli response has been “proportionate” or “self-defence” (killing or wounding, so far, about 100,000, mostly women and children, and young persons under-18), is almost mad. Completely disproportionate, and way beyond anything reasonably describable as “self-defence”.
The Hamas/Gazan side does not have planes, tanks, armoured personnel carriers, really powerful missiles, bombs etc.
After the initial one-day attack from Gaza in October 2023, and arguably a day or so later, nothing the Israeli side has done can possibly be called “proportionate” or “in self-defence“.

Interesting. Whatever one may say about China in terms of human rights, animal welfare etc, its advancement since the 1980s, in technological and other areas, has been phenomenal. As a matter of fact, one could make a case that even in the animal welfare and human rights areas, there has been an improvement, overall, since the days of Mao.
The Chinese people, though alarming in a sense, being so numerous etc, are certainly one of the great peoples of the world.

Less an ordinary by-election, more a possible template for GE 2024. As I have blogged previously, there is a mood somewhere between anger and apathy, a mood which has become palpable in recent years, recent months.
The electorate now hates and despises the Conservative Party, whose governments now seem totally incompetent and ineffective. However, fake Labour is not much liked or respected either. “Least worst”, if you like.
As the Guardian report about Wellingborough indicates, that electoral mood leads people either to vote Labour as least-worst option, or to protest via Reform UK.
Sadly, no real social-national party is available.
The electorate’s present main emotion is wanting to stamp on the Government, on the misnamed Conservative Party, and on its MPs.
“A BBC editor was hired as an expert witness to help at least 15 Somalian criminals fight deportation – including a vile offender who sexually attacked a deaf teenage girl.
Now an investigation by this newspaper can reveal Ms Harper has givenexpert witness evidence in a string of other controversial deportation appeals by Somali offenders – including for another three sex attackers, three drug dealers and a career criminal who spent a decade in British jails.
In one of the most shocking cases, Ms Harper warned that a Somali man who committed a horrific sexual assault on a profoundly deaf 17-year-old girl would be at ‘severely heightened risk’ if he was sent back to Somalia because he had committed a sex crime.
A judge disagreed and threw out his appeal against deportation. Astonishingly, this newspaper has discovered that, 16 months later, the 29-year-old attacker, who the MoS is banned from naming by a court order, has still not been kicked out of Britain and is living with relatives in a council flat.”

Get rid of the invaders. Get rid of any who connive at the migration-invasion of this country.
Talking point: a medical episode
I do not usually blog about any medical conditions that may impact me, but in this case something wider, about the NHS, is illustrated.
When I lived for a year in Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I suddenly became almost deaf at one point. Ear wax. The wife of a Russian colonel with whom I was friendly took me to a local hospital not far from where I lived; I think that it was about a mile up the same long boulevard, Prospekt Lenina.
The treatment was basic but effective. A giant “watering can” was filled with water. I was enjoined to kneel down with my head sideways over a large receptacle. A metal cone about 2 feet deep was then positioned over one of my ears. One nurse held the cone as the other poured the water quickly but steadily into the cone.
The feeling —not pain exactly, but pressure— was almost unbearable for a second. It reminded me of a couple of experiences during scuba dive training. Then it was over, and a plug of ear wax the size of a little finger was floating in the water. Blessed relief. Hearing was restored.
I think —cannot now recall— that either the treatment was free or involved a small fee. I wanted to give the nurses themselves some money, but Ludmilla, the colonel’s wife, told me that that would not be necessary. She was always saving me from “wasting” money (and/or from the odd blonde), as when we were at the “Zilyony Bazaar” (“Green Market”), the Central Market in Almaty, and she would not hear of me having my fortune told by an ancient Kazakh woman sitting on the ground, and who used small animal bones to do her divinations. Ludmilla was a strong character, a contrast to her very easy-going husband.
The next time I had a similar problem, about 2015, the local GP surgery made me an appointment to see a nurse. I did attend, but in fact felt OK by the time I attended, and the nurse said that she could not see any wax anyway. So nothing had to be done.
Well, here we are in 2024. I was informed by the same GP surgery that they “no longer offer” any ear wax removal. A private clinic was recommended. It operates out of a small and quiet NHS hospital in a coastal village about 5 miles from my home. I made the appointment. £15 non-refundable deposit and £65 for the treatment. I could have had it done earlier, but am in fact going next week.
So there it is. Something that used to be free on the NHS now has to be paid for, or no treatment. I am not exactly affluent these days, and even a sum as small as £80 is not nothing (as the Russians say), but one can well imagine that there are many who would struggle to find the fee demanded.
The NHS is less and less useful. Here we are, with GPs earning, in most cases, £100,000-£200,000 a year, monies coming out of all our taxes (even if, like me, you are not employed, you still pay out via VAT etc), and they no longer offer what was a minor but still very useful service. A sign of the way things are going.
The NHS lost its way many years ago. It now seems, often, to be run mainly for the benefit of those employed in it.
It is not just a question of supplying the NHS with more money, or higher staff salaries, bonuses etc. It is a question of making sure that the people are offered services, and that the outcomes are good. Also, that the people needing medical (and dental) help, and their families, are not messed around and ripped-off (eg by having to pay exorbitant parking fees).
At least I myself shall not have to pay for parking next week; having been to that small hospital once before, I know that parking is free, just as in the Good Old Days (or today in the USA, France and I think almost everywhere else).

Sturgeon and her SNP crew deserve to be kicked into the political gutter.
How cheaply people are bought, though! The Scottish electorate was offered and given a few cheap trinkets for its votes: no hospital car park charges, no prescription charges etc. That, and the the promise of a wonderful affluent Independence (which will never happen).
Nothing wrong with free parking and free prescriptions, as such, but look at the wider cost to the Scottish people under Sturgeon’s poundland dictatorship.

Add to that list the implosion of Ukraine not only as a state (failed state, fake state) but also as a nation and people.
Hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged men killed on the battlefield; as many or more, possibly millions, have fled to EU and other states. Millions of women and under-18 offspring have also relocated outside Ukraine. The population is not reproducing itself, and in fact its numbers are falling rapidly.
The industrial sector is almost flat. The agricultural sector is finding it hard to export. Electrical power supply is unreliable.
Meanwhile, despite various problems, Russia is flourishing.
Strategically, Russia’s overall position cannot be compared to that of Kiev-regime Ukraine, which only stays in existence by reason of aid from the EU and North America.

Still, I suppose that someone (of any race or nation) who is involved in the mass slaughter of women and children is quite likely to face psychological disturbance.

Regular readers of this blog, who will be aware that I was before a magistrates’ court yesterday (31 January 2024), and facing sentence in respect of the alleged publication of 5 blog posts during 2020-2022 (and facing the possible enforced closure of this blog for a lengthy period) will be interested in what transpired.
It is inexpedient for me to blog in detail about the state of play in the case, the matter still being before the Court, but I can tell readers that the sentence will not now be determined for another 6 weeks. It stands deferred until a date in March 2024.
Having said that, it now seems that the Crown Prosecution Service is not applying for a full closure of the blog, but for a lesser level of censorship, which attempt at censorship will, however, still be resisted by me.
The blog will therefore continue to be published until mid-March, and may well continue to be published after that.

I myself had a wheel (not just the tyre— the whole wheel) stolen from my parked car a year ago. Despite passing on to the police (via Internet) information provided to me by locals as to the general area where the suspect was said to live, despite also there having been at least one eye-witness (details of whom were known), the police were useless.
Scroll on a few months, and it transpired that the policeman apparently in charge of policing the neighbourhood in question was also the very same one who had been… to put it that way… snooping on my blog posts and gathering “evidence” about it and me! ‘Nuff said?
In the reported case of the Oxford Street busker, I am not sure whether it is a good idea to let people do that (it being arguably rather a nuisance) but, in the big scheme of things, she was doing no harm; maybe even the opposite.

REBOOT. What Happened to Me? Why I fell out with the "liberal left". An essay unlocked for the next 24 hours for new followers and old friendshttps://t.co/0ZmzVb4NxS
“A decade or so ago I was basically where the average voter was. I leaned a little a bit to the left on the economy and a little bit to the right on culture.
I thought the economy, which had been battered by the global financial crisis, was in desperate need of reform.
The crisis had exposed how dependent we were on London’s financial services and how corrupt the system was. I was furious that so few people were sent to prison for causing the global meltdown.
And while I thought Britain needed some high-skill immigration to help things like the National Health Service (which employed most of my family) I was sceptical of the rising levels of legal and illegal migration under New Labour and which would later reach even higher levels under the Tories.
Like much of the country, and as research shows, I thought mass immigration erodes social trust, social cohesion, public support for welfare, and fuels populism.
…what has changed, what has left me and millions others like me feeling politically homeless, is what’s happened to the people running Britain—the new elite class. In short, they’ve radicalised —they’ve driven the car off the cliff and abandoned the rest of us.
Put simply, we are living through the greatest radicalisation of the elite class since the 1960s.
Increasingly, especially since Brexit, Trump, and the summer of 2020, the white, urban, liberal graduates from elite universities and comfortable backgrounds who have joined, and are now replacing, the old ruling class have been moving sharply leftwards on cultural issues.
On all the issues which have been surging up the agenda —immigration, multiculturalism, borders, race, sex, gender, diversity, anti-racism, and more— they’ve simply turned inwards and away from much of the rest of Britain.
And as they’ve moved leftwards, they’ve taken the institutions they dominate with them —the BBC, the civil service, the universities, the advertisement agencies, the museums, the galleries, the public bodies— using their social and cultural power to impose a narrow set of strongly socially liberal beliefs on the rest of society which, as the latest British Social Attitudes survey shows, are supported by no more than 20% of Britain.
As the research shows —the new elite are the most likely to unfriend people they disagree with on Facebook, block them on Twitter, feel unhappy if their children have a relationship with a Conservative or Brexiteer, and —as I discovered after the debate— refuse to even share dinner with somebody they disagree with.
This intolerance became most visible in the aftermath of the vote for Brexit when I watched many people on the ‘liberal’ left berate much of the rest of the country as an assortment of racists, bigots, gammons, and morons, all the while making it abundantly clear they had never actually met any of them.
And it’s also reflected in how, over the last decade, the new elite have steadily expanded concepts such as ‘racism’, ‘transphobia’, ‘hate’ and ‘misinformation’ to silence or stigmatise otherwise acceptable views, such as wanting to lower immigration, strengthen out national borders or protect sex-based rights, as being socially unacceptable.
And when it comes to their political views they are, like the new elite class more generally, completely detached from the rest of the country.
They’re far more likely than everybody else to believe Britain is a “very racist” society, to think minority rights ‘have not gone far enough’ and should ultimately be prioritised above the majority, to think mass immigration has been positive, to say we should curtail free speech in order to promote ‘social justice’, to say British identity is a source of shame and embarrassment, to support radical gender identity theory, like thinking men can become women and women can become men or, as we saw in Scotland, children should be able to simply switch their sex, and to believe we cannot move on as a society unless we stop to address historic ‘injustices’ which happened centuries ago while simultaneously ignoring many similar injustices that are taking place in the world today but which, to be blunt, don’t happen to involve white people.
You see it in the institutions where I work, the universities, where my former friends have spent much of the last decade denying we have any problem with free speech and expression whilst simultaneously ignoring the growing pile of evidence, remaining completely silent as universities become increasingly politicised, prioritising ‘social justice’ above free speech and the search for truth, and then saying nothing as the likes of Kathleen Stock, Jo Phoenix, Helen Joyce, Eric Kaufmann, and many other nonconformists who merely happen to hold different views were harassed, bullied, or chased off campus altogether. What happened to me? What happened to you?
You see it also in the general, routine reaction to anybody who dares question or challenge the liberal consensus on mass immigration, hyper-globalization, and the hollowing out of our national democracy —the online mobbings, the shrieking, the cancellations, the lobbying of employers, the online archaeology, the coordinated way in which ‘liberal’ progressives work together to essentially try and destroy the reputations and livelihoods of anybody who disagrees with them, and the downplaying or complete avoidance of national scandals which do not support their worldview, such as the widespread sexual exploitation of young, white, working-class girls. What happened to me? You must be joking. What happened to you.“

“Exclusive: BBC staff are being told not to hire candidates who are “dismissive” of diversity and inclusion. A recruitment policy document says that applicants should be asked to “what opportunities do you see for you to promote, celebrate or encourage diversity and inclusion in your role?”
The guidelines tell recruiters “don’t hire; [candidates who are] unsuited to the organisation” if they are “dismissive or derisory of diversity and inclusion and surrounding topics”.
Managers are also directed not to offer jobs to candidates if they show a “lack of interest in learning more where no evidence of education and understanding of diversity and inclusion was given”.
Commenting on the recruitment guidelines, a BBC source said: “The BBC is not a welcoming place for those with conservative opinions. Management talks about diversity, without embracing diversity of thought.
The place that I have given years of my working life, and that I sincerely cherish, currently feels captured by Left-wing activists and is unable to deliver on our core principle of impartiality.”
“Hiring on the basis of adherence to diversity and inclusion ideology excludes most conservative-minded people, and indeed much of the population.”

Sorry to see that notice. I was a member of Lincoln’s Inn from 1986 until I was (wrongfully and unlawfully) disbarred in 2016, at which point my membership of the Inn was, effectively, terminated automatically.
As a very frequent user of Lincoln’s Inn Library, I knew Catherine for many years (1988 to about 2002). She was from the North (maybe North East) of England, from a family in a coal-mining community. Beyond that, I knew little of her personal life, though I believe that she got married at some point after having joined Lincoln’s Inn (and the photograph in that tweet, showing a ring, would seem to support that).
A nice person.

Mortality. It comes to us all. Catherine, I now see, was actually 6 years younger than me. It reminds us that we must stand up for truth and justice etc while we live, no matter what challenges the forces of Evil array against us.
The brave IDF dressing up as women and medical staff to murder 3 patients they allege are ‘terrorists’ in a hospital Now tell me Israel is a normal, democratic state pic.twitter.com/5swxmmX0q6
Well, looked at from an ethics-free view (and/or from the Israeli point of view), that operation has the hallmarks of skill and cunning. Equally obviously, to kill patients prostrate in a hospital (one photo shows a single bullet-hole in the centre of a hospital pillow, with blood around it) is pretty abhorrent and, indeed, very wicked, something one would associate with the worst criminals and terrorists.
Frederick Forsyth was or is very pro-Israeli. I saw something from him once to the effect that terrorists who then gain state power (as happened in Israel/Palestine when the various Jew-Zionist terrorists of the Irgun, Palmach, Stern Gang /”Lehi” etc became part of the Israeli power structure) can leave their terrorism behind and become “normal” political leaders of “normal” states.
Forsyth’s view may have had its arguments when he was most fervently pro-Israel, in the 1960s, 1970s, but now the facts have changed or become more evident: Israel’s massacres of Arab civilians every few years, and of course the truth coming out more in the West about the ethnic cleansing (mass murder, and theft of land) carried out by the Jews in Israel/Palestine from 1948 to the present day.
Forsyth himself, who always strikes me as rather dim, at least politically, was cheated out of much of his invested money by a Jew he trusted (“Roger” Something), insult then being added to injury by the said Jew receiving a mere suspended sentence for the embezzlement of millions of pounds. That episode is, incidentally, absent from Wikipedia. “They” seem to have been “editing” (sabotaging) again…

Regular readers will be aware that I am to be sentenced tomorrow for allegedly having posted “grossly offensive” (anti-Jew-Zionist) material on 5 out of some 1,700 blog posts published since this blog started in late 2016.
It may be that part of the sentence will include a restriction on the publication of the blog. If so, the restriction might last for a year. We shall see.
Freedom of expression on political, social and even historical topics is as good as dead in the UK, and those responsible are, for the most part, those who may well be called “the usual suspects”.

Regular readers will know that I am to be sentenced this week for allegedly having posted certain material on five (5) posts of this blog during 2020-2022.
Please be advised that it is possible (I do not know for sure) that the Crown will ask for my blog to be shut down for a year. So, if the blog soon ceases to publish new material, you will know why.
If that happens, “normal service” will be resumed later, probably this time next year.
I would not usually repost material from someone such as Myerson, but needs must.
The attitude of that Special Constable is not confined to the ranks of the “Specials”, or the “PCSO” joke police “co-workers”. I have had considerable trouble myself over the past decade with “real” police who, however, often do not actually know the law they purport to be laying down, and/or who invent their own version of the law and even, worse, have insisted to me that their cartoon version of the law is correct.
Over-estimation of their own lawful powers, unwillingness to listen to reason or the truth, and an attitude that they know best (they don’t). That is even before we get into the suborning of the UK police (sometimes up to “Police and Crime Commissioner” level) by Jew-Zionist cabals.
Look at what happened during the 2020-2022 panicdemic/scamdemic. Policemen, right up to Chief Constable level, demanding to know what shoppers had just bought in supermarkets so that they, the plods, could “decide”, in their “wisdom”, whether said shopping was “reasonable”.
Then we had police shouting from drones, at elderly couples walking on moors or hills, that they should go home, and sole campers or couples arrested at the behest of panicked and stupid farmers or others. All because of “Covid”, which in reality was killing hardly anyone. A stampede of fear-driven stupidity.
All too many people gave in to that kind of semi-lawless bullying by the police and those directing them.
Likewise, we now see that a considerable amount of police time is wasted —at the behest of “them” (((the usual suspects)))— on snooping upon blogs such as this, or upon social media, instead of the police doing their proper job.

…and yet the whole System mass media, all the fake “celebrities”, all the “antifa” dimwits, pretty much all the Labour Party membership etc still think that South Africa is better than it was in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s. They still think that thick-as-two-short planks Nelson Mandela was both saintly and incredibly intelligent (in fact, he was a would-be terrorist leader who turned to African revolution at the age of 42, and after having failed his law degree several times, and the only reason he was not an active terrorist leader is because he was so inept at conspiracy, and was arrested before he could start a race war against South African whites).
Few people in the West are aware of the true facts, or that those behind Mandela and his botched race-war terror strategy were Jews, including at least one formerly involved in the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing.

What the Israeli Jews are doing in Gaza is not, under any reasonable or fair assessment, or view, “self-defence”. The killing of tens of thousands, almost all civilians, half of them under 18, a quarter (approximately) under 12 years of age. The wounding of several times that number.
The Jew/Zionist lobby in the UK and elsewhere is, on the whole, supportive of the actions of the Israeli state. Their cries of “nothing to do with us, guv!” ring very hollow.
Possibly interesting, but without detailed knowledge of the Israeli order of battle in the Gaza operation, meaningless. I have no such knowledge, so the intelligence noted is not useful to me.

Anything taken to an excess, to an absurd excess, is just out of concordance with the Universe and reality in the macro sense.
When I look at Elon Musk, or that odd little man Jeff Bezos, or Bill Gates, or (before he went up the chimney) Steve Jobs, or the myriad “Russian” (mostly Jew) “oligarchs”, my primary thought is “they have too much money“.
I do not mean that they have “too much money” relative to me (that is very easy!) or even in relation to most people, or most wealthy people (“wealthy” in a more ordinary sense); no, what I mean is that people on the Musk, Bezos, Gates level of wealth literally have too much money.
The ultra-wealthy have so much money that they do not know what to do with it, except get a team of people working on how to further increase the hoard of wealth that the ultra-wealthy have already.
In the end, all it becomes is a kind of Masque of the Red Death game or competition; whoever has the most beans, the highest figures on a computer screen, is the winner. A winner, someone who has won something and nothing. Ask Steve Jobs. Oh…you can’t…
Some of the ultra-wealthy are themselves casting around, trying to find something worthy to do with at least some of their vast wealth. Merely being rich is not enough, not when you are that rich. Several of such people (eg Musk) are in control of assets worth around USD $220 BILLION, i.e. two hundred and twenty thousand million! When you consider that a massive mega-yacht might cost USD $500 million or, at most (?), USD $1 billion (thus costing the buyer maybe less than half of one percent of his asset-value), you see both the problem and the consequent frustration.
As for smaller toys (houses, estates, cars etc) they are as nothing in comparison to the wealth some hold. Even hugely “overpriced” artworks the same.
Look at the competition among a handful of the ultra-wealthy to build their own rockets. An exercise in showing off toys, really, the aim being what? To send groups of tourists into orbit? How pointless.
To have “too much” wealth (without putting any particular figure on it) is like eating 100 pizzas a day, drinking 10 bottles of Chateau Margaux each day, or even drinking 10 gallons of water, and is dangerous for a person’s health; in the case of wealth, also dangerous for society.

However rough, and in places savage, was the Hamas attack in October, the Israelis have now killed tens of thousands in what amounts to a quasi-genocidal retaliation. The wounded, many badly wounded (amputations, mutilations etc), must be approaching a hundred thousand in number. Half have been under-18, and a quarter, more or less, small children and babies.
The Jews, not only in Israel, but in the UK, USA, France etc have tried to justify such terrible retaliation as “self-defence” but, certainly after the first few days, that really does not wash.
There is also the point that, if some of the Palestinian Arabs sometimes behave monstrously, it is mainly because they have been made monstrous, over 70-80 years, by the Israelis.
War has, of course, a human cost. Sometimes there is no alternative to war, but often there is.

One sometimes wonders what drives System political drones such as Angela Rayner. Political tribalism, aka Labour right or wrong? Personal (inc. financial) selfishness, or acquisitiveness? Egoism and/or egotism?
Hard for me to understand, because I have always been described by others (not always favourably, though) as an idealist. I suppose that I could have joined, in youth, one of the two main System parties, which might have led eventually to a Parliamentary seat and —who knows?— to a ministerial portfolio, perhaps even to the Cabinet.
I am, however, not a careerist. In the end, ideology, belief, truth matters to me; policy matters to me; results matter to me; beyond that, the well-being of people and animals matters to me.

What we, those of us interested in the future of the European peoples, must do is to prepare as best we can for what might well be the situation after the next great war. Preservation of a core of European humanity, and the foundation of a society to provide a basis for a superculture, indeed for successive supercultures of the far future. We shall be there too, via reincarnation.
General Sir Patrick Sanders, Chief of the General Staff, will stress the need for ministers to ‘mobilise the nation’ in the event of a wider conflict against Russia amid its invasion of Ukraine.
Gen Sir Patrick – who has been openly critical of staff shortages in the military – believes there should be a ‘shift’ in the mindset of the public who should be willing to defend the UK against foreign adversaries.
But while the Army head – who is standing down in six months after allegedly falling out with Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the overall chief of the Armed Forces – is not thought to be in favour of conscription, Nato bosses have warned allied nations to be prepared to take any and all actions necessary to fight Vladimir Putin’s forces.“

What utter nonsense. Conscription would never produce effective soldiers in the social milieu of Britain in the 2020s. Look at the population! Look at those aged 18-40!
Apart from that, what world do our politicians and military “geniuses” live in? One, it seems, in which the atom bomb, nuclear weapons and ICBMs have not yet been invented. The general appears (as portrayed by the Daily Mail, anyway) to envisage a WW2 scenario of massed armies fighting a ground war across Europe. Someone really ought to tell our military men that the massed armies of conscripts will not last long once their home cities and towns, and Army/Navy/Air Force bases, have been turned into charred craters by Russian nuclear attack.
Indeed, the said armies of conscripts would quite soon be turned into irradiated facsimiles of the Terracotta Army.
Even leaving all that aside, there is no overarching Russian plan, and no ideological impetus, to invade central and western Europe. Russia under Putin is not the Soviet Union in 1948, 1962, or even the 1980s.
Russia has no incentive to attack or invade NATO territory, unless itself attacked, or pushed too far. Put simply, Europe now has nothing Russia would want.
The hysterical propaganda from the msm calling for, or fomenting fear of, war with Russia seems to blithely ignore the fact that Russia has been trying —but not succeeding— to crush the shambolic forces of the Kiev regime for nearly two years. So now Russia is set to invade Central Europe? Western Europe? Scandinavia? How? With what? Why?
What is really behind this NWO/ZOG propaganda?
As for Sweden and Finland joining NATO, their leaderships must be mad, or part of an NWO/ZOG conspiracy. They have just made themselves targets for potential annihilation.
Thinking again about General Sanders, and his apparent view that the UK should be ready to “defend itself“, he appears to be unaware that, for many real British people (let alone the blacks, browns etc), there is a feeling abroad at present that there is now not much left to defend. Not much worthwhile, at least.
What are the serried ranks of the new conscript armies to defend? Enormous income and capital inequality and inequity? A nation and society largely destroyed already by mass immigration? The Zionist control, influence, and takeover of the UK’s mass media, publishing, law, legal system, and politics? Collapsing living standards?
If General Sanders (and his seaborne and aerial colleagues) want to “defend Britain”, they might start by securing the UK’s borders from migration-invasion, or from cultural invasion (i.e. from the USA). They can no more do that, though, than build (in their own little minds) a farcical copy of the Allied armies of WW2, and/or pretend to be about to face some fantasy conflation of the Soviet forces of the Cold War, and Hitler’s Wehrmacht.
The general in question is apparently about to retire. Looks like that might be not before time.

Yes my family is from Dagenham, my Grandfather worked at the Ford Motor Company. He moved to NZ when they started filling up east London with Blacks after WW2, which he fought in.
I plan on going back to England one day, but on a War Chariot, and I will swing the axe.
I too was tried (in November 2023) for having published the truth, though was not actually arrested (merely summonsed, in early 2023, by postal requisition). Incidentally, I shall learn my fate within about a week (at the sentencing hearing). Free speech is effectively dead in England.
…not to mention that it would prevent the present migration-invasion.
It surely says something about the state of the country that many people think that it would not be worse-ruled were it actually conquered by Russian forces…

How can the UKs politics be so broken that Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak could happen as well. Truly the bottom of the barrel

All this talk of conscription into the British Army doesn't worry me. I know I can avoid it. After all, it's a job, and I've successfully been avoiding those for many, many years now. I'm an expert at job avoidance, qualified by experience.
I find the whole (obviously contrived) “debate” puzzling. The whole idea that huge numbers of British citizens will “have to be” conscripted “if there is war with Russia” is simply bizarre, some kind of Loony Tune.
If NATO is at war with Russia, it will not be long before Russia’s 6,000-7,000 nuclear bombs and missiles are deployed. At that point, you can forget the new “Dad’s Army”, and much of the regular Army as well. Do idiots such as Tobias Ellwood really think that there would be much left of the UK in that scenario?
Yes, Russia would have its cities and bases destroyed too, but it has space beyond our usual imaginings. 70 times the size of the UK. Three times the size of the contiguous USA.
The fact is that any war with Russia which went nuclear (as it probably would) would spell the complete end of anything resembling the present UK.
This feverish speculation about upcoming war with Russia is being seeded by remarks from NWO/ZOG puppets, both military and civilian (military personnel, politicians and msm scribblers) across Europe and North America now. There is some kind of plot being hatched. A fairly obvious one, really, but the masses do not see it, they only see the noise and chatter, and take it as genuine.
The Kiev regime is now in serious trouble, and the Israeli regime is also on the back foot. The ruling circles of the West therefore deflect to the non-existent “threat” to western Europe and central Europe from Russia.
Is part of this “conscription” and “wartime regulation” thing just another attempt to corral the populations of Europe into behaving like compliant sheep, as during the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic?
Incidentally, Wikipedia is very reticent about Ellwood’s parents. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobias_Ellwood. He was born in New York, but they also lived (1970s/early 1980s) in Bonn and Vienna. Diplomats? Nothing on Wikipedia. SIS? Maybe. Bonn and Vienna were centres of both diplomatic and espionage activity in those Cold War days; and Ellwood junior is now an officer in the sinister TA/Reserves 77th Brigade (disinformation, online snooping etc).
“Politicians hide themselves away, They only started the war. Why should they go out to fight? They leave that all to the poor.”@Tobias_Ellwood, you can poke your war up your arse. Sideways.
That should always be and should always have been the case.
Bob Moran
I see that the cartoonist Bob Moran, so prominent in the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic (he was sacked by the Daily Telegraph for being too honest and too cuttingly satirical) is now in (more) trouble with the Jew-Zionists:
Disgraced cartoonist who sparked outrage for Netanyahu cartoon charges £75,000 for paintings https://t.co/PJq8lGsm8F
— Campaign Against Antisemitism (@antisemitism) January 22, 2024
First of all, note the “typical” language. Those thought hostile to Jew-Zionism are always labelled “disgraced” (by the Jew-Zionists). In the same way, the (((very same))) “ones” always describe me as “disgraced and disbarred“. Disbarred (wrongfully and unlawfully)— yes. “Disgraced“— no.
Ironic, nicht wahr? They hate that Bob Moran cartoon so much that they have reposted it, many times now.
Note, also, how the money he is apparently getting for his pictures has “triggered” them…”A shark can smell blood in the water a mile off when he is hungry” [Control, in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold]
Looking at the cartoon, several aspects strike me. First of all, the cartoon is very hard-hitting. Why should it not be? After all, the Jewish government of Israel has killed, in the present campaign in Gaza, about 26,000 people, mostly civilians (and wounded, many badly, about 64,000).
Half the population of Gaza is under 18, and about a quarter is under 12. The arithmetic may not be exact, but that means that, in three months, the Israelis have killed about 6,500 small children and babies, and have wounded (including mutilation, and injury leading to amputations) about 15,500 children under 12, including babies.
It might be argued that the “offending” (?) cartoon is far more hard-hitting than any posted by me on this blog (and in respect of which, inter alia, a magistrates’ court will sentence me next week); likewise, that Bob Moran cartoon is, arguably, more hard-hitting than anything posted by Alison Chabloz years ago (in respect of which she was actually imprisoned in the end).
Not that I wish for the cartoonist to be prosecuted. Far from it. Satirical cartoons were always part of the rough and tumble of British opinion and commentary, that is until “they” arrived and started to influence the legislature, the police and, now, the Crown Prosecution Service.
Free speech is now all but dead in the UK.
Finally, funny how those who have reposted that cartoon in order to attack Bob Moran have spread the cartoon far and wide online and offline! Indeed, I myself would otherwise have been unaware of its existence.
“‘Doomsday prepping’ used to be seen as a hobby relegated to the paranoid fringe — but ordinary Americans spent a staggering $11 billion on survival items, just last year, from April 2022 to April 2023.
About a third of US citizens admit to prepping, surveys show, but few have the resources today’s billionaire bunker-builders have to devote to their own shelters.
The world’swealthiest have increasingly spent hundreds of millions onsecuring underground compounds, private islands and (for the merely rich) ‘survival condos.’
Late last year it emerged Mark Zuckerberg was building a $100 million hidden fortress buried beneath his Hawaiian island ranch, complete with its own energy and food supplies and blast-resistant doors.“

You don’t have to be a genius or a clairvoyant to see what the transnational conspiracy is planning. Just look around you, at the msm and elsewhere, and stay vigilant.
Had I the funds, I would try to create a suitable sanctuary, either in the western part of the UK or elsewhere. As it is, such a project is not feasible. Still, maybe it will become feasible. Life is often unexpected.
“Speaking on Monday, Britain’s defence secretary Grant Shapps warned in a speech that the UK has moved out of a post-war state and is now facing a ‘pre-war world’.
His comments were made to highlight the need for Britain to increase its defence spending, but also demonstrated growing concern over current and future conflicts.”

Much that I have seen recently indicates that the secret ruling circles of the West are deliberately preparing a war, a war which might set back humanity for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Bogdan Khmelnitsky (military unit A-0222). Part of the Ukrainian military was destroyed during the assault, four chose life and surrendered.“
The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers, and especially willing soldiers. There may be a real breakthrough across the front in 2024, with wide advances by both Russian armour and Russian infantry.

It’s funny how Jews so often refer to “antisemites” or alleged “antisemites” as “disgraced“, merely because Jews have plotted to remove them from a job or profession, and have done so. I have noted the fact numerous times. I myself am usually referred to by Jews on Twitter/X etc as “disbarred and disgraced“
Disbarred (though actually both wrongfully and unlawfully)— yes; “disgraced“— no…
The Kaffir Brigade? Ha. Had never heard of that one. Unfortunate name…
According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, three months of hostilities waged by the Israeli army have proven that the tunnels in Gaza are not going anywhere, and the process of their complete destruction and liquidation will not be successful.
“According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, three months of hostilities waged by the Israeli army have proven that the tunnels in Gaza are not going anywhere, and the process of their complete destruction and liquidation will not be successful.
Israeli army officials are exchanging ideas that the network of tunnels in the Gaza Strip is much larger and more extensive than they initially expected.
It is noted that despite deep differences, Hamas and Israel are more than ever ready to negotiate on general issues of a possible agreement.”
Interesting (about the tunnel network).
The harsh civil war in Uruguay in the 1960s and 1970s involved tunnels dug by the Tupamaros rebels, mainly in Montevideo: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupamaros.
