Saturday quiz

Well, my 5/10 this week once again trumped the 4/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I knew the answers to questions 1, 3, 4, 8, and 9.

Trump might do anything. One cannot predict it, because he is the personification of random unpredictability.

Europe slides ever-faster down the slope of utter decadence.

Would not be surprised to find that the Israelis, in conjunction with the Jewish lobby in Argentina, are behind this.

So who is in favour?

[“On this day two years ago. Don’t say @s_m_marandi didn’t warn you.

“If the United States gets involved, have no doubt, the US will be swept out of Iraq by the resistance and all its assets in the Persian Gulf will be destroyed. All these regimes with US bases will be destroyed and the oil and gas markets will cause a situation where the global economy will collapse, so be careful about making stupid mistakes.”]

Marandi is an Iranian academic.

Whatever you give “them”, (((they))) will complain, demand more, and turn on you in the end. Not just “Israel” and nominal Israelis, but also the type as a whole. Look at the behaviour of Zelensky.

Burnham is even a member of Labour Friends of Israel, just like Starmer-stein.

Israel— a rogue state, which has a very wealthy and influential “fifth column” in this country (as in some others).

Whatever the arguments, the fact is that pensioners will be worse-off under Labour after 2030 (when Burnham says the Triple Lock will go) and, quite possibly, before then. Result? 99% of pensioners (a third of the electorate, and maybe as much as 50% of the actually-voting electorate) will not be voting Labour. Largely but not just because of the Triple Lock being dumped. It is the whole direction of travel.

Late tweets

That funny woman tweeter is obsessed with, inter alia, cutting off Triple Lock money going to pensioners. Yes, only 12% of people of 65+ years vote Labour. That will now shrink to about 1%-2%, I expect. That means that 98% of those 65+ will vote somewhere other than Labour. Probably Reform, most of them.

The point, though, previously also made on the blog, is that people aged 65+ mostly actually vote. The other age-groups vote in far smaller numbers, proportionately.

The 65+ age group is about a third of the electorate, and must be at least 40% of those that actually turn out to vote (or vote via postal ballot). Maybe even 50%

Labour will therefore not be getting the votes of anything up to 50% of the total of those (of all ages) that vote, even before taking into consideration the votes of the <65 age groups.

Burnham-Labour has already alienated the under-24 age group by the recently-announced benefit cuts and changes.

Anything can happen in politics, but it would take a near-miracle for Labour to get to 35% of the poll, and that is surely their minimum if they want to be sure of a Commons majority.

That latest poll translates to a Commons with about 342 Labour MPs (so a majority of seats), 155 Reform (official Opposition), 55 Cons, 51 LibDems, and 20 SNP [etc].

Uncertain now how accurate such predictions are. Restore may only be getting 3% of the opinion poll votes, but that is enough to badly damage Reform in marginal seats. As to Labour, I doubt whether its present relative popularity will continue, but there is no doubt that many of Burnham’s recently-announced policies are quite popular:

I myself agree with all but three of the policies listed there.

My feeling right now is that Reform, though so disappointing (pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, pro-finance-capitalism and —in some respects— globalism, is still the main game in town in terms of at least pseudo-national populism. I can see many more presently Conservative votes going to Reform.

If I am right, and the Con vote reduces to, say 12% by 2028/2029, and the Reform vote rises to, say, 30%, then the post-election picture would be very different: that would give Labour maybe 265 MPs (far short of a majority), and Reform would have more MPs than Lab, 281. The LibDems would be on 53, the SNP 23, Greens 3 and the Con Party only 2. Near-wipeout. That would effectively finish off the Con Party.

As to government, Reform would be unable to form even a workable minority government despite having a plurality of MPs, but Labour would just about be able to function as a minority government with LibDem and SNP [etc] support.

I agree with that lady tweeter on that subject. For many years I broadly supported foxhunting as a colourful historical spectacle with long roots in England, but for many years now I have strongly opposed it (and most other field sports) by reason of my love for animals and, in minor key, also my dislike of, or distaste for, all foxhunters that I have ever met (at least as an adult).

[me aged about 2 (?…I am hopeless at judging ages), late 1950s, happily standing amid the foxhounds somewhere in Berkshire]
[late 1950s, also amid the hounds, though looking less happy, or more thoughtful]

I have to say that the bridge attacks are a brilliant tactical move by the Russian side.

Kiev is on both sides of the Dnieper, but the more important part of the city is on the western or right bank.

Late muse

I happened to see a travel show presented by an American of whom I had not previously heard, one Stanley Tucci [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Tucci]. Apparently a well-known film-maker and actor (well, I cannot know everything…). A New Yorker whose grandparents or great-grandparents emigrated from Calabria to America before the Second World War or, possibly, before the First World War.

It seems that the show was made in 2021, so 5+ years ago.

The programme showed him in Tuscany, then in Sicily. Mostly about the Italian regional cuisine(s). Not terribly dull, though hardly riveting, but of course this is an area covered many times in similar vein (think Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver, and many others).

When in Sicily, this Tucci expressed the view that immigration improves any society! Very wrongheaded. What many now call a “luxury belief” held by those (usually the affluent) who prefer not to see the downsides of mass immigration from backward parts of the world such as black Africa, North Africa etc.

Even without having to hear his wrongheaded views about the migration-invasion of Italy, I have to say that I found the aforesaid Tucci not someone to whom I warmed. He lacked the charm of some similar TV tourists.

Never mind. It filled an empty hour.

History as rarely seen

Morning thought

Heard some idiotic woman from a quango on BBC Radio 3 news while driving. Blaming “climate change” for Britain running short of water. No mention of the fact that “we” (the System authorities) are importing about a million unwanted blacks and browns every year, some of which are breeding. Might that not have something to do with the water shortage? (he asked, rhetorically…).

Our animal friends.

The use of the outdated “right”/”left” labels is just not useful these days.

There is at least an arguable position that what might be called “World Jewry” has a long-term plan to use Argentina as a kind of bolthole or secure base while war (nuclear war), and famine ravage much of the rest of the world, war and famine which the Zionists themselves are doing much to bring about (Ukraine, Iran, Middle East/Mediterranean).

Conspiracy theory? Possibly, but then look how many of those “conspiracy theories” have proven to be accurate analyses in recent decades.

In many ways, Galloway is a clever man, but in some ways he is stupid and hopelessly —indeed wilfully— ignorant. Hitler and National Socialism (and the crimes of Stalin and the CPSU) are blind spots for him.

A grade-A “grifter” too, of course.

Galloway tweeted against me a couple of times many years ago.

[“The ‘vetting process’ of populist parties exists to screen out people who are simultaneously intelligent AND honest. Honest idiots can be tolerated because they are easy to manipulate. And intelligent psychopaths can too, because they will agree with the corruption.

But honest and intelligent people are poison for them.”]

Once again, well-said by Yerbury. I myself have made the same points often, on the blog, on Twitter (before a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018), and elsewhere, over the years.

I recall an old friend, now-deceased, saying to me and a couple of others in the 1980s about how “any one of us could be an MP for any of the [then] three main parties, were we willing to sell our principles for a career, and to tolerate the bullshit”. Very true.

Basically, just a horrible tribe.

Still, what goes around comes around…

Just a horrible tribe, as said previously.

Typical. There have been, over the years, thousands of such faked “antisemitic” attacks, including quite a few in the UK. A Jew lawyer in Scotland —Glasgow, I believe— was convicted some years ago of faking “antisemitic” attacks; unfortunately, his sentence was far too lenient. I think that he was even allowed to continue working as a solicitor.

Par for the course. Look at “Mark Lewis Lawyer” and his cronies, a whole pack of dishonest Jew lawyers. Lewis has more than once cheated his own clients, and has contrived a number of fake “antisemitic” incidents over the years, both for Zionist propaganda purposes and to make money for himself, his present wife, and others. He’s a criminal.

[“Pastor Mitri Raheb has warned that, if current conditions continue, the Palestinian Christian presence in the West Bank could disappear by 2050, amid worsening economic conditions, escalating settler violence, and growing restrictions and military checkpoints. According to Raheb, more than 200 Christian families have left the West Bank since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, while church leaders report that thoughts of emigration are becoming increasingly common, particularly among young people.

These concerns are especially evident in Taybeh, east of Ramallah, the last entirely Christian town in the West Bank. Churches have documented the departure of more than 15 families since October 2023, alongside attacks targeting the town’s lands and residents’ property, as well as its holy sites.

While the Christian population in the West Bank is currently estimated at between 40,000 and 45,000, their share has fallen from 6% in 1967 to just over 1% today. Warnings are growing that continued emigration threatens the presence of the “living stones” in a land to which they have been connected for two thousand years.”]

Devils.

Blast from past

I wrote the following words in July 2024:

“Regular readers will know that I have blogged recently about the fact that Starmer-Labour has no real mandate. The electoral system of the UK has been broken beyond easy repair.

At GE 2024, out of every 20 people eligible to vote, and in very rough terms, 8 did not vote at all, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.

That is Starmer’s and Labour’s mandate— 4 out of 20. For pedants, arguably, 4 out of 12. Not much of a mandate either way.“

[IanRobertMillard.org blog: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/07/28/diary-blog-28-july-2024/]

In retrospect, plainly correct, if I myself say so; the point, though, is that, if that was Starmer-stein’s very inadequate mandate, how much less of a mandate does Andy Burnham have?

Andy Burnham has no real legitimacy at all.

More tweets

Burnham and his clown Cabinet are planning to send even more arms and cash to the Kiev regime.

After only three weeks, Burnham already looks well out of his depth, though his quasi-electioneering has resulted in a limited “Burnham bounce” in the opinion polls.

I should think that a hung Parliament is quite likely, on present polling. Labour will fall back, the Con Party stay back, while Reform looks to have shot its bolt by being too pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, by failing to be truly hardline on migration invasion, and by being far too sleazy as well. Still, Reform will get votes by not being LibLabCon; a default choice, if you like. Restore? Slightly better, ideologically, than Reform —but not much— and even more of a one-man-band than Reform. Greens? Hard to say. Will its odd alliance of “antifascist” oddities and pro-Islamist Muslims last? Maybe, maybe not.

[“If you enjoyed the Autochrome of artist Claude Monet, which I shared with you in June, you may be interested to learn that I’ve found this new one of the great man, taken in 1917 by Étienne Clémentel in Monet’s garden at Giverny.
I’ve given it a good clean-up for you! I have to say: for an artist renowned for his use of colour, he is dressed surprisingly drably! Nevertheless, this is a very rare colour shot of the great man. It was taken using an early colour glass-plate process and isn’t colourised.
