Well, 6/10 this week, thus again beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10.
I did not know the answers to questions 4, 5, and 8; I also could not recall the surname of the playwright at question 9 (though I got the first name), so disallowed myself that point too.

It is hard enough to beat a human grandmaster. In 1971 (I think), I took part in the Marlow International Chess Tournament, held in a school at Marlow, Buckinghamshire on a weekend in July. I camped in the grounds.
I took part in a “simultaneous exhibition”, in which a famous and very strong player takes on a number of others; in this case me and 19 others against Jana Hartston, a women’s grandmaster, former Czech women’s champion, and also (being then married to William Hartston, himself a grandmaster) British Women’s Champion.
I decided that I had no chance against her, so rather than trying to play seriously, started with a few conventional moves followed by an outrageously oblique one (not thought through at all). The result was mildly comical: the serious and youngish woman (she was herself only ~24 at the time; I was, I think, still 14) came swiftly around the rectangle of desks, each housing a chessboard. When she came for the third or fourth time to me, I made my move.
Madame Hartston paused, evidently puzzled for a moment, then made a swift move before moving on. I tried the same tactic again the next time round, but she barely paused.
I was checkmated after about 20 moves, if that, and was the second player to be beaten by her.
In the main tournament, I also fared badly, not lasting very long before being knocked out.

One factor in former Conservative Party voters refusing to vote Con (or at all) is the continuing migration-invasion, about which the present hopeless Government is either doing nothing, or actually encouraging.

Given global chagrin about the environmental impact of fossil fuels, we asked what you thought about the Gov’s decision to approve the UK’s first new coal mine for 30 years:
👍 34% approved of the decision 👎 26% disapproved of the decision 😐 29% neutral
Regardless of necessity, most people agreed that, given the state of the nation at the moment, they are a good idea:
81% agreed warm banks are a good idea 3% said warm banks are not a good idea 86% said food banks are a good idea 2% said food banks are not a good idea

There are some interesting Eastern based thinkers who write very persuasively about how the wests patterning of everything on the mathematics of binary 1s and 0s is gradually destroying society. The language and maths of eastern societies patterns brains differently…

The dystopian dictatorship is already starting to happen: Laura Towler, Sam Melia, Mark Collett and others (most but not all from the Patriotic Alternative group) were told a year or more ago that their banks (major “high street” banks) were unwilling to continue to offer them (as individuals, not merely as “Patriotic Alternative”) any banking services. The (Jewish) fix was in, in short. The banks had been pressured by Jew-Zionist orgs to close them down, not only as a group but quite specifically as individuals.

Indeed. Look at the big picture. As recently as 20 years or so ago, Britain was still 90% white. Even a decade ago, it was about 85% white. The latest figures show 80%.
Now add to that the destruction of potentially very useful infrastructure such as power stations, military camps and airfields (over the past 30 years), railways and rail track (for about 70 years).
Add to the above the dumbing-down of education generally (primary, secondary, tertiary), and where do we see our society going? Straight down.

There is news that a significant number of Twitter employees are refusing to engage with Elon Musk and his wish to return freedom of expression to the platform.
To my mind, such wilful refusal to go along with the changes Musk wants to implement in Twitter shows that an intransigent core of intolerant “woke” activists has taken root in the Twitter organization, and needs to be rooted out.
It may be necessary to sack many of the existing employees and to recruit new people who believe in free speech.
Kate Andrews is, as an individual, of no political importance. As a drone/puppet of the transnational conspiracy, however, and once employed by the so-called “think-tanks” the IEA and the Adam Smith Institute (and now at the Spectator, as Economics Editor), she is of significance.
Kate Andrews has a degree in International Relations and Philosophy from St. Andrew’s University, Scotland. She was born in London in 1990, but sounds American (possibly holds dual nationality). She attended school in an affluent part of Connecticut bordering Long Island Sound: see https://uk.linkedin.com/in/kate-andrews-1673a945. She has no formal qualification in economics.
Kate Andrews is 32 years old. She is believed to be married, but nothing is known publicly about the identity, nationality, or activity of her husband.
The IEA was founded by one Fisher [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony_Fisher], who also founded about 150 other organizations, including the Adam Smith Institute. An important international conspirator, pro-Zionist etc.
Fisher’s granddaughter Rachel Whetstone [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Whetstone], who has held major positions at Facebook, Google, Netflix, and Uber, is married to the egregious Steve Hilton [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Hilton], the “blue sky thinker” (and waste of space) connected to the rotten misgovernment of David Cameron-Levita 2010-2015.
The “takeaway”? These people, these organizations, are all connected, and feed into the transnational conspiracy matrix.
We are in the first year of the present 33-year socio-political cycle. Socialism, as traditionally experienced, was largely killed off, in its various forms, in and after 1989, the last such significant year.

Elon Musk is up against several connected pressure groups or tendencies, not least the Jew-Zionist lobby that wants Twitter to be open for any Jewish trolls to abuse, usually anonymously, but also wants Twitter to ban or expel anyone said Jew-Zionist lobby labels as “antisemitic“.
To be frank, and without —I hope— being too grandiose about it, if Twitter is not open to someone like me, then it is all but worthless anyway.

At the same time they're borrowing to give away: £12b in foreign aid, £16b in climate reparations, £5 billion a year in hotel bills. = £33 billion
Great. Hard-core. Only thing is, the evildoer could hardly have understood what was coming at him so suddenly, so his suffering would have been minimized by that factor.

Instead, the “Bootstrap Cook” has ploughed on as if the report had never been printed. Apart from the odd reference in tweets to her “trolls” (meaning those raising legitimate concerns about her alleged “grifting”, “scamming” etc), she has also ignored the Twitterstorm which has now been raging for about 3 months.
Now, Bootstrap Cook tweets about anything but the criticism and reportage. About her apparent upcoming move. About how she has had to sell items (have we not been here before?) and (needless to add) about how expensive moving is (is that a hint that a few more donations would be welcome?).
I should have thought that, whatever the circumstances, someone whose Patreon income alone may run into figures above £6,000 a month in cash would have little difficulty in covering all the costs.

I have raised on the blog the question of where Russian prisoners of the Kiev regime are being kept, and under what conditions. The mainstream media in the West seem completely uninterested in this human rights issue. I have seen not one reporter on TV or journalist in print, or online, address the point, and there have been no TV news reports from any camps where the prisoners might be incarcerated.
Now it seems that Kiev-regime forces are, at least sometimes, taking no prisoners, or taking them then immediately despatching them. This is generally accepted to be a war crime.
The Daily Mail readers’ comments are instructive. Not even 1% support the housing and feeding of the invaders.
It looks as if the present government is going to keep the State Pension “triple lock” in order to buy (as it hopes) the votes of middle-aged and “senior citizen” “Middle England”, but if the migration-invasion continues, and those here already are not removed or detained in camps, this government is toast electorally, even though Labour would be as bad.
Whichever System party is in power, within it and permeating it will be the members of the transnational cabals, implementing, increasingly openly, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, or the “Great Replacement” of white people by blacks, browns, and Chinese etc. The destruction of Europe, and the destruction of Europe’s future.

Just imagine: even as of today, after about three to four months of detail emerging about alleged fraud and near-fraud, “grifting” etc, no fewer than 666 mugs are still sending “Jack Monroe” up to £10 each, every month. (Up to) £6,660 per month in cash.
One has to wonder why.
My opinion is that not all know about what has come out over the past months, but also that many do know yet simply cannot accept that they have been played, or duped, and/or wish to “virtue-signal” (though how supporting the lifestyle of “Bootstrap Cook” actually helps the very many poor and struggling people in our society is hard to understand).
After all, there are many many “activists” and charity workers agitating against poor pay and benefits, and against “food poverty”, “fuel poverty” and, well, poverty.
Likewise, there are quite a few (real) chefs and cooks who have applied their (real) skills to making low-budget food recently, among them the most famous, such as Jamie Oliver.
None of those people ask the public to support them or their lifestyle via Patreon payments, as far as I know.
One could argue that Patreon donors are volunteers, but that assumes that they know the full facts and are not being, in a word, defrauded, or tricked.
Actually, when you look at the Bootstrap Cook situation, you realize how easy it is for the politicians etc to bamboozle the British public over matters such as the “Covid” “panicdemic”, the facemask nonsense, the “Rule of Six” etc, the “austerity” stuff, the “Ukraine” mass media war etc. Add to that “Black Lives Matter”, “trans” nonsense, “anti-racism” etc.

Britain needs a proper border guard force like that, not the Border Force taxi service for migrant invaders, often jeered at by people who call it —unsurprisingly— the “Border Farce“.
For someone that busts myths and exposes cover-ups your research is sadly lacking. Jack Monroe had absolutely nothing to do with any of this. It’s amazing how Chinese whispers get out of hand.
They blame everything from the mini-budget of Woollyhead Trussbanger to “Covid”, and even Putin for the slide in living standards which, for most people, has been taking place over the past 30 years, in big picture terms.
1989, the last big year of the 33-year socio-political cycle. 2022, the next one. The influx of blacks and browns etc since the 1980s. The breeding of the same, in vast numbers. Sliding standards in education (despite record numbers of worthless “degrees” etc), and all services, from State benefits to old-age sheltered housing.
This is not some kind of accident. The UK’s life is being deliberately run down, and some of the most guilty of the criminals responsible are the MPs sitting in the Westminster monkeyhouse.

The Jew-Zionist pack generally shouldbe cleared out of Twitter. They are the ones who, more than all others put together, have almost destroyed free speech on that platform and others, and generally.
Stephen Fry, who has homes in London and LA, owns a 150k Bentley and sometimes drives a Black Cab to avoid the congestion charge, has declared his support for Extinction Rebellion.
Do you think he's had a bet with Darkie Lineker, to see who can look the biggest dick?.
It is almost incredible, when you look at it, how the Jewish element in a society is usually the most disruptive, and in the strangest way: having great privilege and money, in some cases fame and fortune (as with Stephen Fry), yet so often with the ingrained wish somewhere inside them to bring down into decay and degradation the same society that has nurtured them.
One side-aspect of that is how many Jews and part-Jews turn, when students, to the most Jewish form, Trotskyism, of an already-Jewish movement or tendency, Marxism. David Cameron-Levita, Peter Hitchens, many others.
In later life, such individuals often go in other directions (look at David Cameron-Levita). A friend of mine met Stephen Fry at a wedding about 30 years ago, and was surprised at how (in his words) very “left-wing” Fry was (I myself never use the “right”/”left” terminology). My friend was a member of the Labour Party at the time.

Reminds me of how the Jewish actress, Maureen Lipman, has often “threatened” (if such be the bon mot) to leave the UK (which has given her everything) because of supposed “anti-Semitism”, and to go to Israel or California. Somehow, unfortunately, she never quite makes it.
The last time I had any interest in Stephen Fry was when he was in Jeeves and Wooster.. Certainly won't bother me if he leaves twitter.
Fry was good in Jeeves and Wooster. In other roles, he disappoints, at least judging from those films etc—admittedly not many— that I have seen. His ham acting as the police inspector in Gosford Park rather spoiled that film for me. Fry overdid the comedy in the “comedy-drama”, in my opinion.

Cultural vandalism. Ukraine is small in geographic size compared to Russia, and has less than a third of the population, but is still a very large country, almost the same geographic size as France. Putting it as kindly as possible, you cannot compare the contribution of Ukraine to world culture, as against that of Russia.
Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Glinka, Glazunov, Myaskovsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovitch, Rachmaninov, Stravinsky, Borodin, Scriabin, to name but a few of the most famous; and that is only in the realm of music. Ukraine’s list is very small by comparison.
I notice that Jews often refer to themselves on Twitter as “J-Twitter“. Maybe the, er, solution here is for them to break away into a kind of Twitter-ghetto (and stay there), leaving non-Jews on the main Twitter able to speak and debate freely without what we might perhaps term “J-interference”…

I was one of those who bought a book (can't remember which one) & gave £100 for 10 copies to be donated to foodbanks. Never heard more but assumed that JM had done it – now I'm wondering & feeling stirrings of several emotions!
“...bought a book” but cannot remember which one…because the —no doubt well-meaning, so be it— buyer probably never used the recipes once she realized that the “Jack Monroe” recipes are often “dogs’ dinners” that probably compare badly with prison food…
Eventually, whether it be in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, the real British people are going to have to support a government that re-establishes law and order, even if it means machinegunning in the street the denizens of the jungle…

Well, that Mayor of Reading looks very different from the slightly grumpy (Labour Party) Mayor of Reading whom I “interviewed” in the rather grand (as I then thought) Mayor’s Parlour with a school friend for a home-made school-holidays “newspaper” when I was about 14, I think in 1971.
The Mayor received us in the Mayor’s offices, which were then by the Museum and St. Laurence’s Church, right in the centre of the town. I see that the local council is now based in a more contemporary building elsewhere.
That mayor was about 60 (I think), with glasses (I think), and was a chemist with a pharmacy in the town somewhere. Not overly friendly (impatient?) once pressed on policy, but it was good of him to agree to see two schoolboys taking up his time, really.
Seeing that tweet by the blondinka who is now the Mayor inspired me to look at the Reading town centre on Google Earth. Very different to what I recall from 1956-1966 childhood, 1970s schooldays (mainly at Reading Blue Coat School, Sonning, near Reading), and a couple of visits in the 1980s.
I see that large areas are now pedestrianized, and that the area near the railway station is also even uglier than it was in the past.
On my last visit to the town, about 15 years ago, I did not need to go into the centre, and was staying on the outskirts, in what I think was a Holiday Inn or similar. In the dark of a winter early evening, and a little tired, I drove into an awkwardly-designed intersection the wrong way (down a no-entry bit), and then compounded my sin by going through a red light and driving off when I saw that the only vehicle around was a police van (wouldn’t you know?!). They chased after me, blue light flashing and siren wailing. I decided that I had to stop, after a short while.
The denouement? I told the officers, one young man, and a girl so young-looking that she might have been a schoolgirl, my story (that I was unfamiliar with the layout etc) and, after a telling-off from the “schoolgirl”, was let off, and allowed to go on my way without even having to go through the boring stuff such as having my licence etc checked (I was fully-compliant with the relevant laws anyway— licence, insurance, MOT etc).

Seems that Derbyshire Police find dealing with real crime rather harder.

Pathetic to see Hislop humiliating Gary Neville on HIGNFY last night. Like watching someone beat a dyslexic at scrabble then do a victory lap of the living room. Absolutely worthless.
And Hislop gladly takes his fat pay cheque from the same BBC that is choosing to broadcast extensive coverage from the tournament in Qatar. Difficult to call out the hypocrisy of others, when you've got your snout in the same trough.
The children of a tiny minority of the wealthy elites got to study across the EU, whilst the average working class Joe got longer NHS queues, larger class sizes, lower wages and got called racist by narcissists like you.
The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan (conspiracy) has come out into the open over the past several years. Now, you do not have to wonder about it, you just have to look around you (especially if you live in London or another large city or town, or just watch TV dramas, soaps, ads etc).
“No civil war ever has a single cause. It’s always a multitude of factors that lead to decline and collapse. The current US has several of what the CIA calls “threat multipliers”: environmental crises continue to batter the country, economic inequality is at its highest level since the founding of the country, and demographic change means that the US will be a minority white country within just over two decades. All of these factors tend to contribute to civil unrest wherever they are found in the world.”
According to Wikipedia, about half of the pre-conflict (i.e. pre-February 2022) population had already fled by the end of May 2022. It is not known either how many have fled in the past 6 months or how many now remain in the city.
It is clear that this battle will be of great importance. I find myself wondering whether Putin intends to use tactical (“battlefield”) nuclear weapons to almost destroy the city if it looks like falling to the forces of the Kiev regime. Those Western “experts” who have pronounced say “no” to that idea; Putin’s people also say no. So maybe “no” is the answer. I do feel a little uneasy about the possibility, though.
Putin has recently referenced, I believe more than once, the American slaughter of very many of the inhabitants of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (perhaps 230,000) in 1945, in the atomic-bomb attacks that pretty much levelled both cities. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki.
Does Putin really mean to destroy Kherson if necessary? We do not know.
[view of Kherson]
If Putin’s intent is to destroy one city so as to say to the Kiev regime “I have just destroyed Kherson. Surrender, or Kiev will be next” (in similar fashion as the Americans did in Japan in 1945), that would be a complete gamechanger, and might even bring in NATO on the “Ukrainian” (Kiev regime) side. In that event, the next world war might be, and probably would be, triggered.
What is inescapable is that the high-grade armament given by the USA, UK etc to the forces of the Kiev regime is having a very great effect on the battlefield. Russian forces are very definitely now on the defensive.
Russia is now, after some hesitation, targeting the electrical power and other infrastructure that keeps the Kiev “failed state” going. I expect that to both continue and intensify.
What a horrible bloody mess (as blogged previously). If only the Russian Army, its General Staff, and the GRU had been fit for purpose at the start, the invasion would probably have ended within days and with complete success, particularly had the Jew Zelensky and his cabal been eliminated by what used to be known in Soviet days as “Olympic Spetsnaz” (which may not even exist now— I do not know).
Now, huge numbers of Ukrainian civilians and their companion animals are suffering and many are dying, together with many Russians, partly because the Russians have made such a shambolic mess of all this, and partly because the West is keeping the war going by vast transfers of arms, ammunition, training, medical and other equipment, and sheer money to the Zelensky regime.

If life gives you lemons…
I happened to see something about the “Rogue Trader”, Nick Leeson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Leeson], who caused a big kefuffle in the mid-1990s, when caught out making unauthorized trades nominally on behalf of Baring’s Bank (which collapsed with massive debts because of him).
Turns out that, after serving over 4 years in Changi Prison, Singapore (2/3 of a nearly-7 year sentence), and having (earlier) written the bestselling Rogue Trader [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_Trader_(book)], he became commercial manager (I had thought, accountant) for an Irish football team, Galway United; then he became CEO of the same club until, some years later, having to resign by reason of the club’s financial difficulties.
I recall having read his book when it came out in 1995 or 1996.
Now, however, like a reformed bank robber advising banks on security, Leeson apparently speaks for fees at seminars, and also after-dinner. Such bookings can be very lucrative (ex-Prime Ministers etc get paid tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands). Leeson is obviously not going to be in that league, and I am unaware of what he does charge, but it might be a few thousand pounds a time, a couple of times a month. Nice work if you can get it.
After a brief year or so of being a successful stock market trader in the early 1990s, Leeson was stunningly unsuccessful, famously so, and his later time at the Irish football club was hardly crowned with success, but his 1990s notoriety now provides him with a living, perhaps a good one.
The (Jewish) journalist even refers to Jews as “the tribe“.
It occurs to me that the most repulsive MP in that report is not in fact a Jew (though married to a Jewish woman, and with children being brought up as Jewish). No, not Keir Starmer but Robert Jenrick. A complete doormat for Israel and the Jewish lobby.

Indeed. People wanted the migration-invasion “sorted”, as is now said, and they have had enough of big-talking on immigration from “Conservative” ministers, which big talk has led to no or no useful action. Priti Patel the least useful big talker/no action (so far).
One interesting thing about the Gavin Williamson row. I spent the back end of last week asking people what his job in Government actually is. No-one could tell me.
According to Electoral Calculus, with Reform Party getting maybe 5%, that would result in Labour 471 seats, Conservative 91, LibDem 13, Green 1, SNP 52. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.
(with “tactical voting” ticked, Con = 30 seats on the same numbers).
If Reform only get 2%, much the same result, but even were Reform (Farage’s latest vehicle) to get 10%, all that would happen would be Reform getting 1 MP, Con 100, Lab 460, LibDem 14. The FPTP voting system is hard to shift.
Indeed, even were Reform to get 15% (higher than UKIP’s result in 2015), Reform would still only get 1 MP! The big change there, though, would be a further Con collapse, to 37 MPs (Lab 521, LibDems 16).
Even on 20%, Reform would get nowhere.
To really arrive, Reform would have to get to about 25% and take votes from Lab as well as Con. As people now say, “a big ask“.
Personally, I do not believe that the Reform Party agenda of “libertarianism” mixed with some less American elements (support for NHS, opposition to more mass immigration etc) will pull in the punters.
There again, Farage stabbed his own Brexit Party supporters in the back in 2019, and (in lay terms) stole the candidates’ money as well! Who would trust him now?
A more social-national party might succeed, if credible: nationalization of strategic utilities, support for private enterprise otherwise, with taxation of large enterprises greatly increased, and support for a thoroughly reformed —but still free at point of use— health service; law and order, support for proper defence; opposition to the Zelensky regime but humanitarian aid to families and animals in Ukraine, and much closer links to Russia.
One aspect that interests me is that, as others have noticed, hardly any tweeters supporting the “Bootstrap Cook” are actually anywhere near “poor”. Many are decidedly affluent, as can be surmised from their Twitter headlines: CEO this, Director that, author, journalist, food writer on a large newspaper, and so on.
I know you know, I just keep posting it so it gets seen as much as possible.Jack Monroe's falsely claimed working class valour really pisses me off.I read her very first article at the time and knew it was 🐂💩. Her list of self diagnosed ailments is another reason to dislike her
…and that may be only half or a third of her full income.
The extraordinary thing is that quite large numbers of affluent scribblers and others are absolutely vituperative in their self-appointed defence of the “Bootstrap Cook”, as in the example(s) below, in which two employees of the Irish Daily Mail, Tom Doorley (a restaurant critic) and Philip Nolan, jump on someone critical of “Jack Monroe”:
I am now even more honoured! Jack is an amazing person.
Remarkable self-awareness from the little gobshite, Philip. At least s/he admits they are spouting pure ordure (if they even know what the word means). I'm amazed at how these moral pygmies constantly trawl Twitter for references to Jack.
Read it. Remarkable even by the standards of Britain’s increasingly useless police forces.
“A woman who took a picture of a teenager who groped her at a bus station was staggered to be told by police that the case would be shelved – due to a lack of evidence.
The force reopened the investigation only after the 25-year-old victim passed on her photographs of the tagged groper to her local newspaper.
When a journalist contacted Derbyshire Police, officers issued a public appeal and within days, Daniel Oakes had been arrested.”
[Daily Mail]
Note that the force involved was that of Derbyshire, whose extremely poor police spent inordinate amounts of time persecuting and eventually prosecuting the satirist and singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz at the behest of the malicious Jew-Zionist cabal, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”].
The same force was one of the worst during the “Covid” “panicdemic” as well, pointlessly bullying members of the public in various ways.
Derbyshire Police also has a very poor record in relation to detecting real crime. Not so surprising when you read the Daily Mail report above.
The readers’ comments are interesting. Here’s one;
This is my local police farce. It seems the police are little more than window dressing these days. Not particularly interested in preventing or solving crime. Like with hospitals, surgery’s, schools, councils ect, standards have declined to a level that is totally unacceptable.”
Police are useless as are the authorities. We are now in unprecedented times where everything in our society is breaking down and nothing works.”
[Daily Mail]
As those readers comment, it is not just the police— standards have been declining across the board: police, NHS, councils, central government, exams, schools, universities, you name it. Parliament too. I mean, look at the stupid woman posing as Prime Minister (Liz Truss), and her so-called “Deputy Prime Minister”, and Health Secretary (Therese Coffey). Look at the near-brawl in the House of Commons yesterday. And so on.

What we now have is a multikulti agenda masquerading as “inform” (TV/radio news etc), a multikulti and Jew-Zionist agenda posing as “educate” (including huge amounts of “holocaust” farrago), and a vast amount of money spent on the “entertain” bit, most of which output is not entertaining in the slightest (and also serves that multikulti agenda, e.g. with blacks seen everywhere, even in period drama).
The Jew Shapps. Effectively an agent of Jew-Zionism and Israel. A former youth leader of the Zionist “B’nai B’rith” organization. A “dodgy” inhabitant of the Hertfordshire “Borshch Belt”, who sold get-rich-quick schemes in Parliament, using at least 3 aliases. Now posing as Home Secretary.
3) That, in the short term, resulted in a mounting energy crisis across the continent and urged governments to fill up underground natural gas storage reserves to prepare for colder months ahead.
5) The absence of Russian flows leaves Europe with few options to restock its reserves before next winter, mainly with more easily transportable liquified natural gas from the U.S. and the Middle East.
The UK could, under a real British government, call a halt to the demonization of Russia, restore both trading and cultural links with Russia, and distance the UK from NATO, or at least be more independent (as France is, with its force de frappe).
Britain would then be able to access Russian gas (via a new pipeline direct to the UK) at cheap or very cheap prices. Britain would see a whole new future open up for it.

True, though Steve Hilton is himself a “three pound note”— useless. I blogged about him, about Dominic Cummings, and about Brendan Bracken, a few years ago:
The System relies on complete or near-complete “control”, which was one reason there was such a massive campaign against Corbyn, spearheaded by the Jew-Zionist element.
Liz Truss, by reason of her sheer lack of ability, threatens System “stability”. She will, therefore, be removed, to put in place a (superficially) better Prime Minister-figure.
The fact that Jeremy Hunt is Chancellor of the Exchequer and Grant Shapps is Home Secretary is confirmation that the government is now scraping so far down the bottom of the barrel that it’s likely to discover molten magma.

Maybe 35 miles, now.
Not that I particularly favour the layout of Hampstead Garden Suburb (I knew a lady who lived there, about 30 years ago), but there are worse places to live in the world, or in the UK for that matter.

I can’t for the life of me remember how our politicians have gone from being concerned about the mood of the bingo hall, the local pub and the factory floor to being more concerned about the mood around a lavish dinner party at Davos. They are failing us to serve themselves.
The ignorant, talentless “ho”, devoid of any real education or culture, devoid of any understanding of the British people, has quit (after saying just yesterday that she was “not a quitter“). Well, no more a lie than anything else she, “Boris”-idiot, Theresa May, David Cameron-Levita-Schlumberger and others in the Westminster monkeyhouse have said over the past 12 years.
Ha ha. She will not even get the £115,000 a year all other recent Prime Minister retirees have received (though I have seen tweets to the contrary).
I thought that two months was the shortest time allowing an outgoing prime minister to get the cash. Is that 2 calendar months, or 8 weeks? I do not know.
So far she has “served” 6 weeks and 2 days, so I suppose she might still make at least 8 weeks, and so (?) breast the tape. She has “resigned” as of today, or so the news reports say. Does that mean her term ends as of now? How can she then get the cash?
Reading the reports, it looks as though the official dates will be massaged to allow her to get the cash.
❓ The Prime Minister's Official Spokesman was just asked the following: Does the Prime Minister still think she will lead the Tories into the next general election?
Naturally, in our rigged more or less binary electoral system, the people look to Labour now, but “Labour” is just another face of the System. Look at the System drones in the Shadow Cabinet— Yvette Cooper, Lisa Nandy, Rachel Reeves. All Labour Friends of Israel, none willing to commit to the Triple Lock on State Pensions, none willing to commit to raising State benefits in line with inflation.
We could be looking at a Labour government every bit as bad as the “Conservative” ones of recent years.
I should imagine that the Conservative Party will try to install someone who will sit as Prime Minister for the next year or two, in the hope that, over time, the opinion polls will swing at least somewhat back to a position whereby maybe half the Conservative seats will be saved. An election now means a near-wipeout for the Conservative Party.
Still, who knows what is really going on behind the scenes, in the hidden ruling circles?

That valete shows a stunning lack of understanding of her defaults, and also a lack of understanding of international affairs. Putin may “menace” the Jew Zelensky and his Kiev regime; he certainly does not “threaten the security of our whole continent”.

Liz Truss
When Liz Truss became Prime Minister, I predicted the following, in such terms: that I would be “surprised” if her term lasted as long as the end of 2022, and “astonished” if she lasted as long as Spring 2023. One gold tick for this blog…
No wonder that journalists, MPs, ministers of foreign governments etc read this blog.
Economy in tatters, poverty increasing, food shortages, energy crisis, precedents set for tyranny, thousands killed or injured by coerced medical treatments.
“I’ve got a good idea, let’s bring back the man who did ALL of that.”
At least Mr. Bale’s Twitter profile has elements of honesty (“Travelling the world (again) and talking bollocks. Fortunate to have been at Reuters, FT, News, Microsoft, CNN and CPI.”)
This is not the “USA” (or “UK”, on a smaller scale). It is not even the Jew-Zionist element, not entirely. It is the NWO, the New World Order conspiracy, at work. The NWO wants to not only trammel and control Russia, but to destroy its proper future by enfolding it as another part of the Western jigsaw.

There have even been a few tweets from msm commentators implying it quite strongly. It may or may not be true. We know that Liz Truss was having an affair with influential then MP Mark Field about 15-20 years ago; she therefore, more or less, became an MP at least partly on her back.
As for Kwasi Kwarteng, until several years ago, he was in a personal relationship with unpleasant one-time MP and Cabinet minister, Amber Rudd. He then married a younger Amber Rudd lookalike.
Our political system is a bad joke, and those at the heart of it are of the same ilk.
Ideas on tax, economy etc
What would I do if I were in the seat(s) of power?
First of all, we need to give tax legitimacy in the eyes of the public. It may be simpler and more efficient to do it in the way that happens now, i.e. to get tax monies from different sources (income tax, VAT, “National Insurance” —very outdated and misleading—, road tax etc) and then allocate the money by government to various spending outflows, but that way of doing things distances the tax from the tax-payers.
I suggest that at least some tax revenues be ringfenced for specific purposes, so that, eg, a certain percentage goes specifically to the NHS or health and care overall. Likewise, road tax should go specifically to roads, or perhaps to transport (inc. rail) overall.
Maximum income and capital should be enforced. It might be that the maximum income allowed should be, net of income tax, about £200,000. As for capital, perhaps the permitted limit should be around £100M. I do not think that these measures could be claimed as dictatorial or extreme.
The same with land. In most of England, there should be a limit on acreage owned by one person or family. Perhaps 1,000 acres. In Scotland or Wales, perhaps 5,000 acres.
Again, scarcely “communistic”, in my view.
There is an argument that income tax should actually be abolished and replaced by variable-rate VAT and/or purchase taxes. Something that should be looked at by experts, anyway.
Basic Income must surely come, at least for those without other income above, say, £15,000 pa, even if the actual amount of Basic Income is only something like £10,000 or £15,000 a year. Again, specialists need to look at the topic in detail.
Companies doing business in the UK, such as Amazon, need to be paying a transaction tax, even if only 50p or £1 per transaction.
Just a few of the necessary measures.

"The most important objective for our country right now is stability"
Presentationally, looking at that, it seems to me that Hunt has placed himself in a solid position to replace Liz Truss, in that what Con Party has to try to do now is project a “grown up” and/or “stable” image, to detoxify the perception that a loony and ignorant woman and her woolly-haired African “friend” are running the UK into the ground.
Either Liz Truss becomes “the prisoner of Downing Street”, allowed less power than Larry the Cat, or she is just pushed out completely.

I am no pro-Hunt (or Conservative Party) partisan, obviously, but who looks more “Prime Ministerial”? Hunt (as seen above), or Liz Truss (as seen, eg, in her recent Press conference car crash)? Not even a question, really.
There’s been a coup – Jeremy Hunt is now running the country. MPs didn’t want him. Tory members didn’t want him. The public certainly didn’t want him. Oh but the establishment did. If the party allows this anti-democratic farce to continue then they wave goodbye to their base.

“A WELSH Conservative MP has been described as “not credible” when giving evidence at his trial related to an early hours car crash which demolished a telegraph pole.
Jamie Wallis was convicted of three offences, but cleared of driving without due care and attention, in relation to the early hours crash last November when he was wearing a “black leather mini-skirt” and “high heels”.
The MP told the court he was transgender, said he had swerved to avoid a cat and left the scene because he had become “overwhelmed” by his recently diagnosed PTSD and felt vulnerable in women’s clothing – having been raped the last time he wore such an outfit publicly.
Convicting Wallis of the other three charges, – failing to stop, failing to report a road traffic collision and leaving a vehicle in a dangerous position – Judge Ikram said: “I am going to be upfront: I didn’t find the defendant credible in the evidence he gave.”“
“A retired biomedical scientist who posted ‘only women have a cervix’ has been booted from the profession after a tribunal ruled he was ‘inflaming gender discrimination’.
Blood expert Malcolm Needs was accused of uploading a string of social media posts that a disciplinary panel found were ‘seriously offensive and discreditable’
One of the now-deleted posts he was punished for sharing said: ‘Only women have a cervix. There, I said it, it’s not difficult. Women also have a right to women-only spaces. Speaking up in defence of women’s rights doesn’t mean we can’t respect how others wish to live their lives.’
While another added: ‘I Swear my head will explode if another person classes me as a “cis woman”. I am NOT a cis woman but I AM a woman. I have a cervix which no man can claim to have and biologically that will never change. I am not just tired of this insanity but I’m fed up of being labelled.’
The 67-year-old’s social media rants led to the former chief examiner in transfusion medicine for the Institute of Biomedical Science being struck off after a panel found his posts ‘seriously offensive and discreditable’.
But a defiant Needs refused to attend the Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service (HCPTS) disciplinary hearing.
‘How many times do I have to tell you that I want NOTHING to do with your Kangaroo Court, and that, if I get one or email about this, I will take legal advice about harassment,’ he told the panel.
…the pension [sic] targeted migrants crossing the Channel, tweeting: ‘And make them pay, like they paid the people smugglers to come over in the first place, and give our own taxpayers a rest”, while sharing an image stating, ‘Putting illegal immigrants up in 5* hotels has saved the hotel industry. So let’s save the airline industry by flying the f***ers back home!!”.
The committee also found that Needs’ Twitter activity was ‘dismissive and offensive towards black people’ – citing a tweet stating that ‘Multiculturalism destroys culture’, which the panel found to be ‘inflammatory, divisive and prejudiced’.
Another post, which asked if there is ‘ANYTHING that is not racist?’, was found to intentionally ‘inflame a controversial and heated situation’.
Needs, now of South Devon, ‘voluntarily absented himself’ from the disciplinary hearing by sending an email telling the tribunal that he was ‘happily retired’.
Deciding to strike him off, the tribunal said that there had been no evidence of ‘any remorse, reflection or remediation’ on Needs’ part, and there remained a high risk of repetition.“

Note the Daily Mail monkey’s (“journalist’s”) semi-literate Sun-speak: spelling errors, hyperbole, and pejorative language (perfectly OK comments described as “rants” etc).

Incidentally, the comments of Daily Mail readers are entirely supportive of Mr. Needs.
I have more that I should like to write about the case reported upon, but think that I shall keep my powder dry, for now.
I think that the sneak who, in Stasi “inoffizielle Mitarbeiter” style, denounced Mr. Needs to the “kangaroo court” tribunal and/or regulator, should himself have his identity exposed.
I agree, for once, with Janet Street-Porter. The whole thing has been overdone. Instead of a quiet, dignified series of events, a mass circus in which good taste and real respect has been —partly at least— left behind.

At last the Russian high command is starting to think truly tactically, meaning in this case obliquely.
It will be recalled that the Iraqi Army flooded large areas at one time, in the 1980s and later, both when fighting Iran and when fighting the “Allied forces” (USA, mainly).
“One key aspect of the astonishing advance of Ukraine’s army in the east —and the astonishing collapse of Russian forces— is the gap in morale. Ukraine’s soldiers are fighting for their country and freedom. Russians are fighting out of fear and for money. https://t.co/TSiWskXYaJ
We tend to forget that, though the southeastern part of Ukraine is a war zone, that does not mean that all areas suffer continuous fighting. Far from it. The Ukraine is about 3x the size of the UK, and nearly 5x the size of England. The southeastern parts known as the Donbass or Don Basin (Donetsk and Lugansk regions) are, together, about half the size of England.

[Rafael de Miguel, in El Pais]
“The risk is always that the UK ends up not as Global Britain but Little England. This, too, would have been a nightmare for the Queen.”

Pound sliding, inflation stoking, and recession likely
Still think that closing down the economy for almost 2 years (because a virus was supposedly killing one out of every thousand people, mostly aged and/or with serious pre-existing health problems), and while doling out “free” money to individuals and companies via “furlough” payments, grants, “loans” etc, was a good policy? Think again.
A delusionary time, but what happens once the funeral of the late Queen has been held?
The death of the late Queen, and the consequent ritual arrangements and spectacles, is occupying the msm in the UK to an almost (?) unprecedented extent.
It may be that the Diana death hysteria of 1997, about which I have heard, and the Silver Jubilee of 1977, were similar; I cannot say, having been out of the UK when those two events occurred. In 1977, I was in Rhodesia, and in 1997 I was in Kazakhstan.
In fact, I only heard of the Diana incident 2-3 days after it happened, when I attended a regular Monday morning meeting at my office in Almaty, the then capital.
The British Embassy opened a book of condolence, and I was told by one of my Embassy contacts that, out of all the ~70 British residents (in the city) of which the Embassy was aware, I was the only one who had not signed (though not because I was hostile to Diana, but because of simple lack of interest).
My non-signing may have also been noted because, about 10 months previously, I had attended by invitation a royal reception at the Ambassador’s official Residence, where I had met and briefly chatted to Prince Charles, as he then was. Also, because I was at the Embassy quite often, at least a couple of times per week.
I have blogged in the past about how, on my return to London a few weeks later, friends told me about the collective psychosis (?) that had descended (on London at least), with pubs full of blubbing drinkers etc.
I am now thinking ahead to the day, or perhaps two or three days after the funeral of the late Queen (next Monday, 19 September 2022). What then?
We as a nation (insofar as Britain still is a nation) face huge economic problems, as well as ingrained social problems. The cloud of illusion all too obvious this week on TV, in the Press etc will blow away, and the country may come down to Earth with a very hard jolt.
The sentiment around the enormous queues going to see the late Queen’s coffin etc is somewhat illusory. The hundreds of thousands of people shuffling toward Westminster, or lining the Mall, are still only about 1% of the whole UK population. The vast majority, almost all in fact, seem to be English/British, i.e. white, and most (that I have seen in photos, on TV etc), are middle-aged or elderly.
This will all look very different in six months’ time.

I happened to see a few pages written by Savitri Devi in the 1950s:
[note: pre-existing highlighting]
Prophetic.
Interesting to note that Savitri Devi [Maximiani Devi Portas] was born 2.5 months prematurely. Premature birth is known to result, in some cases, in the person who has [re]incarnated having psychic powers (cf. St. Paul); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savitri_Devi#Early_years.
Ukraine
Though the “British” and other msm cannot be taken, without more, to be reliable, there have been numerous reports in the past 24 hours of a collapse of the Russian lines in parts of Ukraine east of the Dnieper; perhaps even betokening a general collapse.

'Without Izyum and Kupyansk, Russia cannot effectively supply its forces in the north-east or the east of the country, and so further collapses, withdrawals and surrenders of Russian forces are to be expected’ pic.twitter.com/mWnP34DGKL
‘They may be able to stabilise their lines temporarily, but we have crossed a point of no return. Russia's forces were previously poorly equipped, supplied and of low morale. To that list you can now add terrified of encirclement' pic.twitter.com/vKzIBsYL1X
If Russia is not to be utterly defeated in this war (which would quite likely then see something akin to at least a palace revolution in Moscow), it needs to escalate both numbers and force generally, and to think outside the box, as the leaders of the Reich often did, particularly from 1936 (recovery of the Rhineland) to 1944 (Battle of the Bulge).
If Russia fails to crush the Kiev regime, NATO forces, or NATO-equipped and NWO-controlled Ukrainian forces, will be within 280 miles range of Moscow.
This could be an existential danger not only for Putin but also for the Russian Federation.

My maternal great-grandparents were Ukrainian Jews who emigrated to the United States a century ago — fleeing violence and death inflicted by Russians. It’s awesome to see Putin’s ass being whipped now by President Zelenskyy, another Ukrainian Jew. 🇺🇦✡️

Who do you think might be behind that? I doubt whether the Kiev regime would be able to do it.
Im not even anti-Ukraine. Im anti-Western influenced Ukraine that leads us to endless war. I can’t control Russia or their politics so there’s no sense in saying anything to them, but I like to think I may be able to sway my reps in DC.
Are they winning suddenly? They make one small gain and you War Shills act as of that haven’t lost thousands of lives and thousands of acres. I stand firm. Ukraine should have negotiated from the beginning rather than fight back. And btw, no one else is fighting back for them.
BREAKING: The Biden administration has announced a $3 billion package to Jackson, Mississippi to fund massive repairs and updates to water infrastructure.
Just kidding. That money is going to weapons for Ukraine.
After all these years of the same msm and governmental bs, we still see tweets or newspaper columns implying that impoverishing the British people supposedly to help backward countries is somehow a “mistake” or “wrong policy”, when it is a quite deliberate part of a plan, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.
Well, this week I again beat political journalist John Rentoul, but only just, scoring 6/10 to his 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 5, 6, and 7. Amazing that Rentoul apparently did not know where Copacabana is.
The saga of the Royal Mulatta and the Royal Cuck continues
“There are rumours that the cover of Harry’s upcoming tell-all memoir about his horrid life as a royal features a picture not just of him, as you’d expect, but Megs, too. The word emasculated comes to mind.
He has become a walk-on part in The Me-Me-Meghan Show, eclipsed by his wife’s ambition.
I never thought I’d say this, but I feel sorry for Harry.“
I do not take more than a passing interest in the activities of the Meghan and Harry show, but it strikes me that the closest facsimile of their relationship might be that of absurd TV cook Fanny Cradock and her long-suffering husband, Johnnie, whom the ghastly woman treated like a particularly abused servant; almost a serf, in fact.
I recall Fanny Cradock on TV when I was a small child, in the early 1960s, and the crazed creature was on British TV occasionally until the mid 1980s.
“Fanny and Johnnie Cradock began writing a column under the pen name of “Bon Viveur”[5] which appeared in The Daily Telegraph from 1950 to 1955. This sparked a theatre career, with the pair turning theatres into restaurants. Cradock would cook vast dishes that were served to the audience. They became known for their roast turkey, complete with stuffed head, tail feathers and wings. Complete with French accents, their act was one of a drunken hen-pecked husband and a domineering wife. At this time, they were known as Major and Mrs Cradock.”
“[Johnnie] is best remembered as being the long-suffering stooge for his wife in their popular British cooking programmes which were shown from the 1950s to the 1970s. Wearing a traditional blazer and sporting a monocle, he would remain around the back of Fanny’s studio sets awaiting her imperious commands which, when they came, often resulted in his being berated for being too slow.”
Sometimes, “a thought out of season” comes to me, the dystopian idea that the present decline of Western society will be ended not with debates or literary disagreements (or rigged elections) but with some kind of multifaceted “Holy War”…
Nordic noirs (literally)
Yesterday, I watched the first episode of a Swedish detective series. Not sure whether I shall bother to watch the rest, mainly because I found it all rather contrived. What struck me, though, was the number of blacks and browns shown. Is that how Sweden really is now, or have the media people exaggerated the proportion (as they have in almost everything shown about the UK)?
On that same theme, the show had a number of (“British”) ad breaks, each with quite a few ads. Every single ad had blacks or half-castes (“mixed-race” persons, if you like) in it. This is pure propaganda. I know that I have been blogging about this evil campaign for a few years now
but we must never allow it to become normalized, certainly not without at least having dissenting voices heard.
As we know, “the pen is mightier than the sword“, but that is precisely why the enemies of freedom of expression try to “cancel” people, and to take away their right to speak or write.
I had my Twitter account removed in 2018 by reason of the manipulations of the same Jew-Zionists, really just a quite small handful of individuals plotting together, and presenting themselves as if a large and/or “important” organization (the so-called “Campaign Against Anti-Semitism”, or “CAA”, mainly).
The enemies of civilization are of various kinds. May they all end the same way.

It’s so basic. So obvious. So easy to understand. Yet wages have been cut in the name of ‘austerity’ for years and we have more billionaires in the UK than ever before. Many of whom donate to the Tory party. So also basic and obvious to see why nothing changes. #GTTO
I was tweeting in the same vein (before the Jewish lobby had my Twitter account taken away in 2018) for about 7 years, amid the economic illiteracies of the fake (and disastrous) “austerity” policies promoted by the part-Jews George Osborne and David Cameron-Levita, and supported by the part-Japanese sadist Iain Dunce Duncan Smith. I have, also, been blogging along similar lines since late 2016.
If you transfer money to people on low incomes, they spend it (and almost have to spend it), thus stimulating the economy. If you do the same to people on moderate incomes, they will both spend some and invest some, but if you give money to very wealthy people who already have more than enough to satisfy both needs and wants, they will mostly park that money in hedging assets such as real property (and thus drive up the current value of such assets without actually helping the economy).
In essence, that is why it is better to have at least moderate redistribution of wealth.
But one ally says “If he ever wanted to (lead the party again), of course that option is still there for him in the future. “The Red Wall without Boris has gone now,” another says. “Those people didn’t vote for the Tories, they voted for Brexit and they voted for Boris.”
One MP amazed Sunak went ahead with building a swimming pool on his Yorkshire estate. When a photo emerged of the building works this month: “On what planet does he live? There’s a heatwave, he’s building his own pool and people are scrambling to afford bills. Imagine that as PM”
Never a word in the msm or on these online comment sites about how a foreigner should never be Prime Minister of this country, even if one of his passports is “British”.
.@RachelReevesMP confided to fellow MPs her central assessment that Sunak had simply failed to plan for soaring energy bills, even when it was obvious they would rise before the Ukraine invasion. “He’s a hedge fund manager who doesn’t even know how to hedge,” she said, acidly.
