Diary Blog, 21 May 2025, with thoughts about GB News

GB News

I have been puzzling for some time regarding the ideology, if any, of GB News. Pseudo-nationalist, obviously largely “controlled opposition”, willing to help move the “Overton Window” re immigration, the failed “multicultural society”, immigration and migration invasion etc, yet painfully pro-Jewish lobby and pro-Israel.

GB News even allows the mendacious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA” Jew-Zionists to spout their lies unopposed, as does the “does anyone actually watch?” Talk TV (now online only). Why? (especially since “Slitherman”, the chief spokesperson for the “CAA”, was exposed several years ago, in open court, as a serial online troll and harasser of others, mainly women).

So I was interested to see the following tweet from Matt Goodwin, former academic, who is now more or less a Reform UK propagandist and, more recently, also a GB News presenter and commentator:

That person, Paul Marshall, is not only extremely wealthy (apparently, £875M as of last year, so probably far more by now), but also the mainstay of GB News.

In the financial year 2022-2023, GB News reported a loss of no less than £42M, and would certainly have disappeared had not Paul Marshall invested £41M at that point.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Marshall_(investor)

So from where comes the pro-Jewish, pro-Israel bias of GB News? I happened to notice that the said Marshall is married to a Jewish woman [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Marshall_(investor)#Personal_life], of which Wikipedia says more on its page about Paul Marshall’s son, one Winston Marshall, of whom I had not previously heard, but who is apparently a successful folk-rock banjoist and guitarist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Marshall#Early_life_and_family.

It is impossible to say for sure, on facts known, whether that personal connection has influenced the editorial line of GB News; I should say, though, that it is more likely than not.

The above reminds me that several other UK-based news outlets are owned by Jewish, pro-Jewish or pro-Israel families or groups. LBC radio is another such: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Media_%26_Entertainment; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Media_%26_Entertainment#History; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Tabor-King.

Incidentally, the “does anyone actually watch?” Talk TV is owned, ultimately, by the aged pro-Israel cuckold, Rupert Murdoch.

I would rather pay the expenses of the actual dog than those of the millions of metaphorical dogs.

A similar picture to all other recent opinion polls, though the Cons here are higher (the last opinion poll, from a different polling org, had them on only 16%).

Projection: Reform 345 MPs, and a substantial majority; Labour 131 MPs, LibDems 56, Cons 53, SNP 36 [etc]. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

On that basis, the Cons would be 4th-largest party in the Commons. Other recent predictions have had them as 5th-largest. Amazing, for a party which, only a year or two ago, was still at times spoken of as “the natural party of government” in the UK.

828 of the bastards. In a single day— and it is not yet even summer, when the Channel is sometimes as calm as a millpond…

Stop them.

The fact is, Britain was on the wrong side…or should have at least declared neutrality.

Yes. I noticed the anti-white bias in a BBC News report by one Sarah Smith this evening.

Ah, just saw Wikipedia about her. Turns out she is the daughter of the now-deceased Labour Party leader John Smith, who might have and probably would have become PM had he lived longer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Smith_(news_reporter)#Family].

Fact is, I was right, when halfwit Nelson Mandela took over in South Africa: I said then that South Africa would go the way of the rest of black-ruled sub-Saharan Africa (corrupt, violent, shambolic), but that SA would take longer to fall into the swamp because the proportion of whites in the population was far higher than had been the case in any other African country. At one time, it was as high as 22%; at present somewhere around 5%, probably:

Statistics South Africa asks people to describe themselves in the census in terms of five racial population groups.[167] The 2022 census figures for these groups were: Black African at 81%, Coloured at 8.2%, White at 7.3%, Indian or Asian at 2.7%, and Other/Unspecified at 0.5%.[9] The first census in 1911 showed that whites made up 22% of the population; this had declined to 16% by 1980.”

[Wikipedia]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa#Demographics.

Proportion of whites in SA population: 7.3% in 2022. Now? Maybe 5%, maybe still 6%, but declining, as Europeans find living in a black-ruled (though not run) country impossible.

As witness the bleating of Guardian scribblers.

Yes, Goodwin— with you on all that, but don’t forget to mention that the Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby is the major anti-free-speech bloc in the UK, and works 24/7 to repress free speech and freedom of expression.

(Ha, some hope, looking at GB News and its ownership. Goodwin knows which side his bread is buttered on…).

I suppose I am wavering between dark red and light blue on that poll.

If Britain can find its way to real social nationalism, we could even go to dark blue, but at present, the dark red is certainly more likely.

She is as thick as two short planks.

Starmer-stein and Labour are both dead men walking, at least metaphorically and politically.

Exactly. All the UK opinion polls on socio-political subjects are inaccurate for that reason— the views of non-whites/non-Brits are taken into account as if they are the views of “British people”. One reason why the pollsters (and the msm) mostly underestimated the recent election “upsets”.

So up to half a million lost in a year. Even if that figure includes those “merely” injured (many badly and even catastrophically), it is huge. Unsustainable. The Kiev regime cannot sustain such losses, especially combined with the very high rates of avoidance of military service, and desertion.

I do not call Sadiq Khan “traitor”, because he is not really British in the first place.

Israeli Jews (but backed by many, and perhaps most, Jews resident in other countries) are committing war crimes up to and including genocide, and have been for years, arguably since their Jewish state was founded in 1948.

This goes well beyond “a pound of flesh“, with or without blood.

It is certainly arguable (for a number of reasons) that Hamas should not have attacked areas of southern Israel in 2023. However, Israeli retaliation went from being somewhat proportionate, in the first few days after that incursion, to being both disproportionate and then utterly brutal after that.

Later, Israeli-Jewish brutality became really just a kind of State-organized sadism, which then morphed into, effectively, attempted genocide of the entire Palestinian Arab population in Gaza. Daily bombing and machinegunning (etc) of civilians, deliberate withholding of medical aid, destruction of hospitals, an embargo on food, the deliberate starvation of children and others, and the planned deportation or slaughter of the entire population.

Incredibly, the Israelis (and the Jews outside Israel that support Israel, and suborned puppets such as Starmer and other UK political and msm souls-for-hire) are still whining about what Germans and others are supposed to have done to some Jews in Europe and Russia, mainly in the early 1940s, 80-85 years ago.

…and now the Israeli Jews, apparently backed by most Zionist Jews from other parts of the world, are, literally, deliberately starving to death the Arab Palestinians of Gaza, including the children. The same Jew-Zionists who are always whining about the alleged treatment of their ancestors by Germans (and Poles, and Ukrainians, and French etc) during WW2, a conflict which ended 80 years ago.

Interesting.

…thus proving that 64% of the UK population in 2020 were unthinking, panicked, deliberately-stampeded idiots.

Immigration, on the scale seen by the UK for half a century, impacts everything, and every other issue.

Migration invasion. Migration occupation. Utterly disastrous.

Incidentally, only people whose great-grandparents were born in the UK (or in northern Europe, and to properly-European parents) should be entitled to vote in elections here.

Well, only 4/10 this week, though that was still enough to beat political journalist John Rentoul, who scored a mere 2/10.

Talking point

https://chadcrowley.substack.com/p/the-return-of-the-political-carl

A nation begins to die the moment it forgets who its enemies are, because identity is shaped not only by what we are, but by what we are willing to reject.

Carl Schmitt, the brilliant German jurist and political theorist, warned that all politics begins with distinction—the drawing of a line between friend and enemy, between those with whom we share fate and those who threaten our survival. To erase that line is not an act of progress or enlightenment, but an act of surrender, the first step in the dissolution of any real order.

[Chad Crowley’s blog on Substack]

Britain, 2025

https://www.mylondon.news/news/north-london-news/light-fingered-north-london-secretary-31596352

A light-fingered secretary who funnelled away £53,000 while working for a top legal firm has avoided jail after the judge took pity on her abusive upbringing. Aminata Pungi, 36, a serial shoplifter who told a probation officer she could not remember her previous convictions for theft, received an 18-month suspended sentence at Inner London Crown Court on Thursday (May 8).

Facing a three-year starting point, due to her previous convictions and the cross-border nature of the fraud, defence counsel Sahara Fergus-Simms did enough to convince Mr Recorder Campbell that her client should avoid jail, telling the judge about Ms Pungi’s 18-week pregnancy and her difficult upbringing after fleeing war in her native Democratic Republic of Congo.

Ms Fergus-Simms told the court Ms Pungi was fostered by family in the UK, but allegedly suffered abuse at the hands of her aunt and her partner, who fled the UK before he could face a trial. Describing one particularly disturbing incident, Ms Fergus-Simms said Ms Pungi’s aunt attended her school ‘wielding a knife’ while Ms Pungi was told to hide in a cupboard by her PE teacher.

Ms Fergus-Simms also claimed Ms Pungi’s shoplifting started as a way to feed herself without support from her family, but this became ‘a habit that stuck’.

Sparing her prison, Recorder Campbell said: “The greatest punishment you have is you are unable to pursue your dream career in the law.”

Ms Pungi was sentenced to 18 months in prison, suspended for 18 months, with no compensation order. Prosecutors also declined to pursue the money through the Proceeds of Crime Act, as there was no realistic prospect of the cash being recovered.”

[My London]

My first thought is that the defendant really ought to go out and buy a lottery ticket…

My second thought is that Britain is now largely a dustbin full of trash.

I do have a third point. How could the sentencing judge have imagined that the defendant could have had a career in law, had she not now been convicted (again) ? She had a number of previous convictions, for one thing.

Oh dear…

In fact, Goodwin is partly right, but only partly. The answer to his posed question is “No!” or, at best, “50-50“.

The problem is that, while Goodwin notes the dangers to free speech emanating from “woke” or “politically-correct” directions, and also from Muslim/Islamist directions, he (as usual) omits to mention the direction from which the main danger to free speech in the UK comes— Jewish Zionism.

GB News itself is well and truly (((infiltrated))).

A few of my experiences, over more than a decade, of the troublemaking of that evil pack:

There is no “exodus”. Au contraire.

Migration-invasion. Migration-occupation.

Going beyond what Goodwin says there, if there were a real unblinking review of the social effects (crime, single mothers, abandoned children, “social parasitism” etc) of having a non-white or mixed-race population (not just recent migrants/invaders) in the UK, the British people would be shocked, not least because it would totally contradict the lying propaganda pumped out in schools, newspapers, radio, TV, and by System drones there and in Parliament etc.

I believe that he was from a wealthy family based in the New Forest. I read in his book that, either after his return to the UK or just before, his Jewish wife managed to sell his, I think inherited, country house for a very high sum (if memory serves, about £9M), which was a financial lifesaver for him.

Mann made millions from his hazardous activities, and certainly showed grit, especially during his imprisonment in the unpleasant state of Equatorial Guinea. In the end, though, you go out from this world with nothing material, just as you entered it. A fact that Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, the “Russian” and “Ukrainian” Jew oligarchs, and other mega-wealthy, might like to ponder upon.

A few thoughts out of season

I read a couple of pieces in the online-only Independent newspaper and its connected Indy100 site. Semi-literate, semi-educated. Examples? In the Independent, in an interview with the ex-MP, Mike Amesbury, Amesbury described the three days he recently spent in prison as “…surreal…like an out-of-body experience“, which the Independent‘s scribbler, one Ellie Crabbe, wrote down as “an outer body experience“. No sub-editor (if they even have any) corrected Ms. Crabbe’s egregious mistake. Appalling ignorance. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/reform-labour-amesbury-runcorn-chancellor-b2745519.html.

Meanwhile, in the Indy100, one Harriet Brewis, described as “ the Chief Reporter at indy100, covering everything from scientific discoveries to online trends. She previously worked on the Evening Standard’s news desk, heading up the coronavirus blog throughout 2020 and writing the website’s leading stories“, writes that a lake in California has returned after long absence, the water having been extracted by “the greed of colonialists“! Ha ha… Is this an English news outlet, or a Cuban one?

The water extraction was in the USA of the late 19thC, as the article does say, so “colonialists” is a bit anachronistic, arguably, and not really accurate anyway, however bad the treatment of the local Indians/Native Americans may have been.

I might add that that report was published somewhere else a year or two ago. I recall reading it, or some version of it.

Ah, I see now that it was first published a year ago. Well, OK, and it is quite interesting, but do subscribers (I am not one) pay to read stuff recycled from over a year ago? https://www.indy100.com/science-tech/tulare-lake-2024-2671911762.

Standards in all areas are, overall and collectively, dropping like a stone, as I noticed and/or predicted many many years ago, in the 1990s.

Talking point— the decline of the Conservative Party

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/may/07/massive-earthquake-in-politics-could-lead-to-tory-extinction-says-hunt

Former chancellor Jeremy Hunt has said the Conservatives cannot rule out becoming extinct because of a “massive earthquake” in politics that is seeing the fracturing of the old two-party system.

Senior Conservatives are increasingly alarmed about polls that show support for the party plummeting, while Reform UK is soaring.

Some Conservative party sources said there appeared to be “very little dynamism” within Conservative Campaign Headquarters about trying to turn the party’s electoral fortunes around, while many local activists and some agents have already made the leap to supporting Reform.

On Wednesday morning, a YouGov Westminster voting intention poll put Reform on 29%, Labour on 22%, the Conservatives on 17%, the Liberal Democrats 16%, and the Greens 10% – suggesting the Tories are now flirting with fourth place in popularity.

[Guardian]

In fact, the Conservative Party may well soon be in fifth place in terms of numbers of Commons seats (after Reform, Labour, LibDems, and the SNP).

Talking point— the decline of the Labour Party

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/may/07/disability-benefit-cuts-to-hit-700000-families-already-in-poverty-dwp-forecasts-show

The government’s planned disability benefit cuts will hit 700,000 families who are already in poverty, according to internal Department for Work and Pensions forecasts obtained by the Guardian.

The figures, sourced under the Freedom of Information Act, are in addition to the projected 250,000 people who will be newly driven below the poverty line by the cuts, as set out by the government’s impact assessment in March.

Disability rights campaigners called the new disclosure “truly shocking” and said the changes would push people even further away from having the means to find work.

The DWP estimates that 3.2 million families across Great Britain will lose out under the plans in 2029/2030, about three years after the cuts are due to take effect. Of those, 700,000 will be families already categorised as being in relative poverty, when taking housing costs into account.

[Guardian]

So that is some of the human and social cost of the policies of Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, and Liz Kendall (all members, incidentally, of Labour Friends of Israel). What, however of the political cost to Labour?

We see Labour already languishing in the opinion polls below 25%, in some at only 22%. I have already blogged about the fact that the UK population now has about 20% of its population non-white, and that those voters (those eligible and actually voting) probably now provide the vast bulk of Labour votes.

Since Starmer-stein lied his way to the office of Prime Minister in July 2024, his misgovernment has alienated the “average white families”, those above State Pension age, those approaching State Pension age, almost all British workers at or below average incomes, anyone concerned about the racial and cultural degradation of the country, anyone concerned about developers trashing the green countryside, and anyone at all concerned about the migration-invasion of between half a million and a million immigrants and/or invaders every single year.

Now, in addition to the above, Starmer-stein’s regime is about to hit not only the various types of disabled person, but also their families and others. The biggest hit will come in 2028 and 2029, just when the next general election is probably going to be held.

[“But I voted Labour last time! Never again!“]

The result of all of that is that Labour will quite likely have (a trend forecast on the blog quite a while ago, a few years ago) votes mainly from (some of) the “blacks and browns”, and (some of) the public service workers, including (some of) the NHS workforce. Even the 18-24 demographic generally is turning away from Labour.

The electoral result may be that Labour can only score 22%, maybe only 20%, at the next general election. The Conservative Party, on present showing, may not even achieve that. The LibDems are the default “alternative” or “dustbin party”, so will pick up votes from both, but mainly from disaffected Con voters; perhaps 15% or so overall. Greens and several others will take (combined) about 10%-15% of votes. That leaves maybe 30% of the whole available for Reform.

Nature abhors a vacuum. If Reform gets to 30%, with Con and Lab both in the 20%-25% range, the earthquake will have happened. Reform will be in government with a 30 or even 50-seat majority, Labour may have fewer than 140 MPs, and the Con Party may slump to as few as 25.

Once the main System parties are displaced, the only real alternative to Reform, after 2029, will be real social nationalism.

So less money for the Treasury (which means it will have to be found from elsewhere), and more unwanted immigrants coming to the UK (and don’t believe the nonsense about “short-term working” etc…).

The Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves fake “Labour” government is a disaster in every way.

Under the surface, its attitude is probably unchanged. Snoopers.

As blogged previously Matt Goodwin may be a Father Gapon for our times…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgy_Gapon#Bloody_Sunday

The above nonsense is only part of huge wastage. The “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic “Test and Trace” programme alone was 4x worse. About £38 billion. I favour government spending, in principle, but the devil is in the detail. The kind of idiots who get into System politics in the UK are simply not capable of running anything properly, or of making the right decisions.

Mason has been examined previously on the blog. A System asset of some kind or other, but one who, for whatever reason, likes to be thought of as radical or even revolutionary. He always supports police-state measures; he did it during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, he did so when the BNP was rising up, he even did so when UKIP looked like becoming a major party. He certainly did so in relation to Greece, when the popular Golden Dawn social-national party was repressed by the fake “Left” or “socialist” party, Syriza, when the latter was in power. Syriza quickly sold out to international banking and the EU. The Golden Dawn people, many of them, still sit in prison.

There is something deeply unpleasant about Paul Mason. Deeply suspicious, too. Look at his Twitter/X timeline over the past few days. Incidentally, he is part-Jew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)#Early_life_and_education.

What interests me more, though, is the revolution after the revolution…

Electoral Calculus suggests that those numbers would result in a Commons in which Reform would have 421 seats out of 650. Labour would have 92, the LibDems 56, the SNP 43, and the Cons only 8. Eight MPs… Surely terminal for the Conservative Party. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Hundreds of replies to Starmer-stein’s tweet, but few if any positive. He is a disaster. His Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment is a disaster.

Incredibly, even after Sunak, Truss, Johnson, May, and Cameron-Levita, that is true.

Cut off the supply of arms, ammunition, and money to the Kiev regime. It will then collapse very quickly, within weeks.

On its own, the Kiev regime fails and falls. It needs NATO to come in on its side. Thankfully, that will probably not now happen, thus saving Europe from another historic round of devastation.

Absolutely mad. The people of the EU states will thus become poorer without having achieved anything in return for that sacrifice.

The people of England want to stamp “the old parties” (as Mosley termed them ) into the ground. Conservative Party. Labour Party.

Reform UK is disliked by many, and many (including me) find its policies inadequate, but it is the only game in town right now, and can pave the way for a real social national party later.

Thinking ahead, if/when Reform is in a position of power, perhaps after 2029, and if Reform itself then fails, the moment for social nationalism will have finally arrived.

[“It occurs to me that Reform’s success may well accelerate a day of reckoning in the UK. The cynic in me feels the mass immigration that’s happened, has placed a sleeping army throughout the country, it doesn’t need to act yet, but once it’s deemed that the British people are finally pushing back, that day of reckoning may well happen because it’s clear now that Reform are a credible force to gain power and that will conflict with everything that’s been planned by those facilitating the immigration.“]

Macmillan Cancer Support is to scrap its £14m-a-year specialist advice service, which helps tens of thousands of people every year, in what has been described as a betrayal of vulnerable patients.

The cuts were received with shock and anger by welfare advisers, who said the depth and expertise of the service were irreplaceable, while the timing – before the government’s £5bn cuts to disability benefits, which are the single biggest focus of Macmillan-funded welfare support – could not be worse for cancer patients.

“I just don’t understand why they are getting rid of a service that so many thousands of people rely on, while at the same time, hiring senior people on large salaries.

“I get why cuts may have to be made, the climate we are in, but I don’t understand why the welfare advisers are the ones to be cut, why the frontline has to be cut, when there are so many senior people sat in offices discussing strategy and in meetings all day.”

[“My monologue on today’s The Times at One with Andrew Neil. More at 1pm tomorrow on @TimesRadio.

Eighty years on from the end of the Second World War in Europe and we’re at a watershed in British politics — one of these historic turning points which up-ends politics and radically reconfigures the two-party system as we’ve known it.

Two parties have long been the bedrock of British politics. Conservative versus Whig in the early part of the 19th century.  Conservative versus Liberal from the mid-1850s onwards.  Conservative versus Labour from the 1920s onwards, especially since the end of the war in 1945. 

You will have noticed that, as Whig gave way to Liberal and Liberal to Labour, Conservative remained a consistent presence.  Which is what makes this latest rearranging of the two-party deck chairs unique  — for the first time in 200 years it looks as if the Conservatives are going to be the victims of a radical realignment in British politics. 

Of course we’re really talking England here rather than Britain. The two-party system has been dead for decades in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You could say England is only now catching up with the rest of the country.  And transition can be messy.

After last year’s general election and last week’s local elections, England has gone from a largely two-party system to a five-party system.  Our first-past-the-post voting system produces a clear winner when only two parties are vying for power. But when our votes are spread generously across five parties, the outcome can be unpredictable and haphazard.  Not only will no one party have an overall majority. No party will have anything close to it. So even coalition building becomes problematic. And that carries the risk of becoming ungovernable. 

The catalyst in all this, of course, is Nigel Farage’s insurgent Reform party. It takes disillusioned votes from Labour and Conservative alike. After last year’s general election it is second in 89 Labour seats. And after last week’s elections a majority of these Labour seats are now vulnerable.  But whereas Reform is on track to beat Labour it is on track to replace the Conservatives, which is why the Conservatives have most to lose.  Even traditional Tories now talk privately about the need to have some sort of accommodation with Reform. That could be wishful thinking. 

If Reform heads towards around a 30% share of the vote in the polls — it won a bit more than that in actual votes last week — then the Tories will be languishing in the late teens. And far from securing a friendly merger with Reform — would more likely face a hostile takeover. 

However the chips eventually fall, the Tory-Labour two-party system would seem to be on its last legs. It’s had a good innings but now looks knackered.  Last week showed the Tories have claimed back no ground since their thrashing last July. Indeed they might be losing more. It also confirmed that Labour and its leader Keir Starmer have fallen further and faster in public approval since that landslide victory than any new government in living memory. 

The two-party system which gave Labour and Tory alternate turns at power is now widely derided for having delivered a stagnant economy, squeezed living standards, uncontrolled mass migration, broken public services, a remote woke establishment and unbridled net zero zealotry. 

Voters might not be sure what they want. But they know what they don’t want, which is more of the  same. Which is what propels Reform and the closer it gets to that crucial 30% of the vote the more it will upend politics as we’ve known it.  For it’s at around 30% that a ton of seats start falling Reform’s way. Not enough to give it an overall majority. Not enough to give Farage the keys to 10 Downing Street.  But enough to be the largest party. Enough to have a veto on who forms a government. Enough to make Farage, always underestimated by the political and media establishment, if not king then the kingmaker.“]

I have no idea whether Keir Starmer-stein has said anything about Easter; I have seen and heard nothing, yet I saw on Twitter/X that he invited a load of Jewish children to Downing Street a week ago in commemoration of the Jewish festival of Passover.

Yet another Labour Friends of Israel MP who has “never had a job” (a non-political job) (excepting some work for Facebook). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Simons#Early_life_and_education.

Hopefully, the next general election will see him chucked out.

Is he one of those “Labour” MPs with some kind of CIA or US Embassy (London) connection? I do not know.

You do not have to be a Labour Party supporter to see that Labour Friends of Israel member Liz Kendall is a disgrace.

Britain has been invaded and is being occupied: “legal” immigrants (supposed spouses, fiancees, students, work-visa holders, then illegal immigrants on “small boats etc”, then births to those non-white women already in the UK, and also to stupid white/British women impregnated by blacks).

Again, Reform in the top two places of an opinion poll. I think that all opinion polls for the past 6-9 months have had Reform either top or second.

The “Conservatives” have no chance after their 14 years of appalling misgovernment 2010-2024, especially now that their idiot MPs and ordinary members have (for the second time) chosen to be led by a non-white, non-British “leader”.

On the Opinium figures, the Commons would have both Reform and Labour on 228 MPs, Cons with 97, and LibDems with 43 (taking LibDems and Green as each having a 10% vote-share). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

As with so many other recent polls, a Reform/Con government would be the only possibility, on those numbers, or a minority Reform government.

Very different figures, but same basic story. On those numbers, though, Reform UK would have about 325 MPs, one short of an absolute majority, but enough for a very thin working majority, without the need for support.

On the numbers there, Labour would have 154 MPs, Cons 58, and LibDems 45. If that were to happen, the Conservative Party would be utterly irrelevant, and likely to decline to near-zero over time.

Not sure whether that likely Con terminal decline would be the best result, or whether the best consequence of such an electoral result would be that Labour would have only 154 MPs instead of 403 (as now). A loss of 249 MPs. 249 upset System drones (plus 63 equally-upset Con ex-MPs; wonderful again…).

If that is representative of the proportional losses of the Ukrainian and Russian forces, then the Kiev-regime is losing perhaps 20 soldiers for every Russian soldier killed.

Hard to say how many tanks Russia now has. Somewhere between 2,000 and 10,000. The Kiev regime has somewhere between 500 and 1,500.

It is not impossible to imagine a direct assault on Kiev either this year or in 2026.

[“You do know a Labour MP was just arrested on child sex charges don’t you? How many Labour MPs and councillors arrested so far in the last 12 months? 6! 4 of which are paedophiles. Labour MPs: 1.Dan Norris: On April 5, 2025, Dan Norris, the Labour MP for North East Somerset and Hanham, was arrested on suspicion of rape, child sexual offences, child abduction, and misconduct in public office. The allegations pertain to incidents from the 2000s and a rape allegation from the 2020s. Norris has been released on conditional bail while the investigation continues, and the Labour Party has suspended him, removing the party whip. 2.Mike Amesbury: In February 2025, Mike Amesbury, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, was jailed for 10 weeks after pleading guilty to assault by beating. The incident occurred in October 2024, and Amesbury was suspended by the Labour Party following his arrest. Labour Councillors: 1.Lee Laudat-Scott: In July 2024, Lee Laudat-Scott, a councillor in Hackney, resigned after being charged with sexually assaulting a child under 13. His arrest marked the second paedophile scandal in Hackney Council within a year. 2.Ricky Jones: In August 2024, Ricky Jones, a councillor in Dartford, was arrested and subsequently charged with encouraging violent disorder. This followed a speech he made at a counter-protest in Walthamstow, where he allegedly called for violence against far-right protesters. The Labour Party suspended him pending the outcome of legal proceedings. 3.David Graham: In early 2024, David Graham, a senior Labour councillor in Fife, Scotland, was arrested and charged with alleged child grooming offences. Following his arrest, the Labour Party suspended him, and he was due to appear in court at a later date. 4.Desmond Gibbons: In late 2024, Desmond Gibbons, a former Labour councillor on Gedling Borough Council, was sentenced to 21 months in prison after being found with over 600 indecent images of children, some as young as three years old. Gibbons had resigned from the Labour Party and his council position prior to his sentencing.“]

Can it be that ridiculous and unpleasant little pissant Darren Jones thinks that the NHS is somehow an economic contributor to the UK economy, when it is really something (albeit necessary, so be it) taking out resources overall? Worrying that the Chief Secretary to the Treasury seems to have no grasp of basic economics.

(Israeli) Jews lying? Surely not…

Interesting, but I am more interested in both the present main culture, i.e. our own, the “Germanic-Anglo-Saxon-American” (as Rudolf Steiner put it), and the next main culture (which still lies fifteen hundred years in the future), the Russian/Slavonic.

At present, the Russian culture is almost entirely a borrowing from older cultures, mainly the Graeco-Roman culture and our present “Western” culture, just as Northern Europe only had “borrowed” Graeco-Roman culture until around 1400 AD (or “CE”) and the eruption of the Renaissance, which was essentially a brief recapitulation of the Graeco-Roman age.

There are, as yet, only indications, seen here and there, of that future Russian culture.

Were there more limited foreign aid being sent, were vast sums not being wasted on the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, were there no migration invasion, were there few non-whites living here, and were the UK a fundamentally white European ethnostate, this country would be hugely better off in every way; not only economically but also socially and culturally.

The trade unions stopped standing up for British workers about 50 years ago, certainly 35 years ago. The unions moved to being just another load of “anti-racism” “anti-sexism” pro-immigration and pro-LGBTXYZ drones. As for supporting higher pay and better working conditions, forget it. The unions long ago stopped seriously pushing for those, and had no power to do so anyway. A waste of space.

Of course, Allison Pearson might be listened to more if she ditched her apparent support for the evil and malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”), a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy, in effect, and which is the worst anti-free-speech org in the country (see my own experiences, detailed above).

That brought to mind another Lucy— Lucy Letby. I have never claimed that Lucy Letby is either innocent or guilty of the crimes wherewith she was charged. I do not know, and have not much followed the case in any detail.

However, I did say on the blog, after she was convicted, that she seemed (from what little I had read in the msm) to have been found guilty on the basis of rather loose circumstantial evidence (which is not necessarily wrong, if that evidence is or was sufficiently probative).

Now I note that some fairly weighty opinions are saying that Lucy Letby might seriously be not only victim of a miscarriage of justice but actually innocent. I neither agree nor disagree. I have not looked at the matter in anything like enough detail. However, there lurks a feeling that, maybe, she is in prison without having actually done the crime(s).

The underlying reality is that the NHS is now largely a skeleton service, and those always loudly supporting it on ideological grounds, no matter what it does wrong, or fails to do right, are not serving either the NHS or the British public.

Historical note

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/apr/05/peering-into-the-eyes-of-the-past-reconstruction-reveals-face-of-woman-who-lived-before-trojan-war

She lived 3,500 years ago – but facial reconstruction technology has brought a woman from late bronze age Mycenae back to life.

[“The digital reconstruction of a bronze age Mycenae woman. Photograph: Juanjo Ortega G.”]

The woman was in her mid-30s when she was buried in a royal cemetery between the 16th and 17th centuries BC. The site was uncovered in the 1950s on the Greek mainland at Mycenae, the legendary seat of Homer’s King Agamemnon.

Dr Emily Hauser, the historian who commissioned the digital reconstruction, told the Observer: “She’s incredibly modern. She took my breath away.

“For the first time, we are looking into the face of a woman from a kingdom associated with Helen of Troy – Helen’s sister, Clytemnestra, was queen of Mycenae in legend – and from where the poet Homer imagined the Greeks of the Trojan war setting out. Such digital reconstructions persuade us that these were real people.

Hauser, a senior lecturer in classics and ancient history at the University of Exeter, said: “It is incredibly exciting to think that, for the first time since she was laid beneath the ground over 3,500 years ago, we are able to gaze into the actual face of a bronze age royal woman – and it truly is a face to launch a thousand ships.

“This woman died around the beginning of the late bronze age, several hundred years before the supposed date of the Trojan war.”

A digital artist, Juanjo Ortega G, has developed the lifelike face from a clay reconstruction of the same woman that was made in the 1980s by Manchester University, pioneers of one of the major methods in facial reconstruction.
