Another Jew-Zionist troublemaker, just like Gideon Falter of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” at past events, causing trouble but then playing the “victim”. It’s all so (((typical))).

[Update, 21 October 2025: well, “give that man a cee-gar”! Meaning me. It now transpires that the pretend “victim” was none other than Jew-Zionist liar and perjurer, Falter, himself. Had a feeling it might be.

UK Police Question Jewish Lawyer Gideon Falter’s Star of David During Protest Arrest

Last updated 10 hours ago

London’s Metropolitan Police detained Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, for nearly 10 hours on August 29 near a pro-Palestine protest outside the Israeli embassy. Officers questioned his Star of David necklace, suggesting it could antagonize protesters, though the force later clarified the arrest was due to his repeated approaches to the protest route under public order conditions. No charges were filed, but the incident, echoing a prior case, has prompted criticism from Jewish leaders over potential bias amid rising antisemitic incidents.

(From Grok Twitter/X)

Not entirely accurate, though. My understanding is that Falter, though possessing a “soft” law-with-French degree from Warwick University, is not a “lawyer” as such, i.e. neither barrister nor solicitor.

Well, there it is. The so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” self-styled “CEO”, Falter, making up a “victim” (((victim))) narrative. Again. In the language of the Cockneys, “telling porkies“! That’s not very kosher! Good to read that he got arrested, handcuffed, then had an uncomfortable 10 hours. Let’s hope more bad experiences come to him]

An expression of the obvious, but (thanks to incessant “anti-racist” System propaganda) it has to be said expressly…

Idiots such as Zoe Gardner and Jonathan Portes will still not accept reality, of course.

After June 26, their defensive ring practically collapsed. We successfully struck the main radars and anti-aircraft bases of the regime.“]

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/aug/16/nigel-farage-adviser-uk-would-be-better-off-if-it-had-not-fought-nazi-germany

An adviser used by Nigel Farage and others in Reform UK to boost their social media popularity has suggested that Britain would be better off had it stayed neutral in the second world war instead of fighting Nazi Germany.

Jack Anderton, who ran Farage’s hugely successful TikTok account before helping Luke Campbell become the Reform mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, also said the UK should not support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.

Alternative history is interesting; if Britain had not fought in WW1 and WW2, it would not have had to rely on America for economic support, and it would have had the independence to act accordingly. Britain could have developed India, Cyprus, Fiji, Malta, Saint Lucia, Seychelles, the Bahamas, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand. In the coming meritocracy, perhaps Britain could regain some of these nations.”

The same post also argues against providing support for Ukraine after Russia’s invasion: “We are sending billions of pounds (that we cannot afford) to prop up a country that we have no allegiance to. Russia is not our enemy, they have not attacked Britain.

There really is something disgusting about all the System “shills”, such as Jukes, ganging up on Lucy Connolly, an ordinary provincial woman without wealth or power, overwhelmed by the fake “counter-terror” juggernaut running her down and crushing her.

Yes, she probably did squirm and try to escape her unmerited fate by inventing this or that story, but she pleaded guilty (I think mistakenly) and, instead of issuing her with a conditional discharge and allowing her to return home (no doubt grateful and chastened) to her unwell husband and two little daughters, the legal system or “justice” system (?) imprisoned her for not far short of 3 years (even if it now seems that she may soon be released after having served just over 1 year).

Erudite, narrowly but expensively educated appeal judges have pronounced upon her, dissected her legally, and put System control above individual justice.

Lucy Connolly can, in my view, certainly be regarded as a victim of the emergent UK police state and what the Chinese used to call “running dogs” of the same. There is something of bullying and concerted victimization about the way this woman has been treated.

It is easy to be wise after the event(s). Lucy Connolly should, of course, have refused to be interviewed by police, or given a “no comment” interview. I do not know whether she had a solicitor from the beginning.

I can see (based on what I think were the facts) that she was not well-advised. In the event, she was not (I believe) even given bail pending trial; if so, a ridiculous, very harsh, totally unnecessary, and totally political or politically-aware decision.

It is clear that Starmer-stein’s Cabinet were all panicking a year ago. They could see the possibility of their beloved vision of a multikulti “non-racist”, non-white England or Britain literally going up in smoke, and in flames. Hence the Draconian penalties visited upon some unfortunate and (as the “liberal” Observer/Guardian etc types no doubt saw with enjoyment) plebeian protesters and tweeters.

Well, the protests were, temporarily, stopped, but the migration invasion has continued, and at a pace even greater than in 2024.

What has gone up in flames, along with the multikulti “refugees welcome” fantasies of the likes of Jukes, Jonathan Portes, Zoe Gardner etc, is the popularity of the Starmer-stein government of incompetent “Friends of Israel”. Only about 20% of potential voters at the next general election are presently intending to vote Labour, and I doubt whether that will increase by very much.

The above clowns typify the System view of the Ukraine conflict. EU bureaucrat/politico Verhofstadt wants EU taxpayers to fund Zelensky’s war and shambolic dictatorship endlessly, while that Greek wants EU states to take an active part in the war, sending troops to fight there.

Some people in Western Europe just have a death wish.

Incidentally, as far as British troops are concerned, how long does would-be statesman and pathetic incompetent, Starmer, imagine that our soldiers would last, even under the “peacekeepers” label? Not long if and when any ceasefire ends. The Kiev regime is losing 1,000-3,000 soldiers (pressganged civilians kidnapped off the streets) daily (killed, badly wounded, or captured). Britain’s whole —front-line and battle-ready— Army seems to number about 15,000. If that. About 2-6 weeks’ supply, then…

Starmer is a complete idiot to want to get further involved in Ukraine, a fake state, completely corrupt, and with which the UK has effectively no commonality of history or interest.

Stray thought

It made me laugh to read that the ludicrous one-time, would-be, Scottish “national leader”, Nicola Sturgeon, is thinking of relocating to, of all places, London, the centre of the (SNP fantasy) “Sassenach” oppressors!

Ukrainians are starting to revolt against Zelensky’s brutal, corrupt, and shambolic Jew-Zionist regime

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14966973/Are-Ukrainians-turning-Zelensky-Multiple-casualties-reported-civilians-attack-draft-officer-bats-metal-pipes-Mykolaiv-Oblast.html

“Multiple casualties have been reported after Ukrainian officials alleged that a group of bat and pipe-wielding civilians attacked a draft officer. 

Officials said the incident took place at 2pm local time in the small village of Buzke in Mykolaiv Oblast. 

They said that the civilians, who have not yet been identified, were ‘armed with bats and metal pipes’ and ‘damaged a vehicle and inflicted bodily injuries on a soldier.

Cops are now investigating the incident, and warned dissidents that insulting the ‘honour and dignity’ of soldiers, as well as threatening violence against them, was punishable by up to five years in prison. 

It added that bringing harm to soldiers could result in up to 12 years imprisonment. 

From the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Zelensky faced an uphill battle with his countrymen, who resisted the enforced conscription into the country’s military.

Just two days ago protesters in the Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia broke into a stadium where roughly 100 men were being held by military enlistment officers. 

Cops arrested several demonstrators.

“Recruitment” (by press-gang) into the Kiev-regime army is a death sentence. They are losing a thousand or more per day on the front-line. Naturally, people try to avoid or evade.

Incidentally, “Mikolaiv” is the Ukrainian version of the original Russian name, Nikolayev. The name is from St. Nicholas.

“As of 2017, 63% of the population spoke Russian at home, 7% Ukrainian, and 28% spoke both Ukrainian and Russian equally.[50]

According to a survey conducted by the International Republican Institute in April-May 2023, 30% of the city’s population spoke Ukrainian at home, and 61% spoke Russian.[52]

I like almost all the responses on Twitter/X to thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner and her ostensible espousal of some of the worst untermenschen in this country. I especially like that last tweeter’s response.

I wonder whether any lone hero… well, let’s leave it there.

Destruction of Britain’s allotments is more than just a retrograde step, it is state-instigated vandalism and violence against something beautiful and worthwhile, and against a cherished part of our history.

We often see, mostly online, statements such as “the System parties, especially Labour, are traitors” etc. Hyperbole, maybe, but when you look at what this government is doing, treason really is the only word that fits, alongside evil, treacherous, enemies, criminals and the like.

The Angela Rayner type think that they can do anything to trash our country, and that they will get away with it, and then make personal money or career opportunities out of it etc.

The same goes for “unused” land owned by railways etc. A haven for wildlife, for land animals, birds, and insects.

First, Farage, Reform UK etc. Then, after that, real social nationalism.

[“Brazil has become the first country in the world to abandon the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. Blaming financial and legal constraints, Brazil’s Government is reportedly withdrawing from the organisation in a move that is really more about sending a signal about where the current Government stands on Jews and the Jewish state. The move will undoubtedly be welcomed by antisemites the world over.“]

For once, that pack of malicious, perjuring Jew-Zionists, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London (though several are paid) is in agreement with me. I do indeed welcome the Brazilian announcement.

In fact, the so-called “international definition” is not legally binding, and has only been adopted by about a fifth, if that, of the states in the world.

It’s not just the government its the society, it’s not just the people in that region that see’s the truth, the world now is starting to wake up. Everything in the west that was thought to the people for over a 100 years was a lie and now people are finding out the truth about history.”]

The video is remarkable. On the one hand, and on the video, the chiefs or former chiefs of major Israeli security and intelligence organizations. On the other hand, Netanyahu, his Cabinet of lunatics and/or zealots, a minority (probably) of the Israeli civilians, and those outside Israel who are pushing for even more bloodshed, destruction, starvation, sadistic treatment of Palestinian Arabs, and genocide.

Who are those outside Israel who are pushing for the war to continue? Major Jew-Zionist orgs in the USA, UK etc (such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” in the UK), and connected small groups of individuals here and there. Ugly, dead-eyed Jew-Zionists in places such as Brighton, North London, and New York, as well as wealthy and fanatical Jewish business types with American, British, French and other politicians in their pocket.

As noted in the video, the power not represented clearly is the Israeli Army or IDF. This is the foremost power in Israel, not least because it permeates the society: most Israelis are compelled to serve in it for a while and are also liable for reserve service later. So far, the Israeli Army has not refused to continue the war.

Exactly as I have been predicting for 2+ years on the blog. Labour will secretly approve most asylum claims, secretly move the migrant-invaders from hotels to social or other housing (pushing aside British people) , and approve from outside the UK in France etc most new claims, then be able to claim that Labour has “solved” the problem, or the main problem, while in fact making it even worse. Millions more yet of non-whites flooding in. Oh, and of course a tiny number of migrant-runners will be arrested, imprisoned etc, thus allowing Starmer-stein, Angela Rayner, and Yvette Cooper to claim that they have “smashed the gangs”, surely one of the least honest “policies” (slogans) ever pushed by any UK government.

How horrible. I have to admit, I have never had much time for Danish society or Danes (though I also concede that I have never actually been there).

If this is happening now, in 2025, imagine the huge wave of discontent that will be around in 2029. Reform UK will probably benefit, but my feeling is that many by then will want to take direct action against “the overall situation”, including against MPs of the main System parties. We shall see.

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…).

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.

“They” do…

Looks like something from about 1955.

In any case, were there ever a real military attack from (presumably) Russia (a conflict with which would be mad from the UK point of view— it would finish this country forever, probably), one of the first places to be attacked and eliminated (possibly by Spetsnaz attack, prior to the launch of any missile) would be Fylingdales itself.

On the wider aspects, while those working in such establishments may be fed the line that they are protecting the UK from attack and/or invasion, the reality is that the UK society those soldiers think they are protecting is decaying from within, and being invaded daily by literally thousands of migrant-invaders, both “legally” and “illegally”, and by births to non-white mothers within the UK.

UK society is changing, and being poisoned, before our very eyes.

Translation: what, really, are they protecting?

…meaning that only the wealthier Americans will be buying imports from the EU (that is largely the case anyway, of course).

We need a great deal more than that but, in our emergent police state, I am “not allowed” to spell out what is needed.

What is the point in “debating” with the enemies of the British people? Portes is of course a “(((youknowwho)))”, and I suspect (but concede that I do not know) that Zoe Gardner (@ZoeJardiniere on Twitter/X) is similar.

That interpreter will certainly never forget the day.

Conservative Friends of Israel drone Gove, drunk and on cocaine at Westminster. A total enemy of the people; he should be punished, not rewarded.

One of the 5 tweets that (after the Jewish lobby pushed for it) got me disbarred in 2016 was that calling Gove a snivelling expenses cheat in hock to the Jewish/Israel lobby. True facts. I (like most people) was unaware at that time (around 2012) that Gove was also both a drunk and a cocaine abuser.

Another of those 5 tweets was that calling Nicolas Sarkozy a corrupt little Jew. I was partly wrong there (he is only a half-Jew). Sarkozy has of course now been found guilty in a French court of corruption, alongside other Jews.

All my famous or (according to the Jewish lobby) infamous “5 tweets” (posted online between 2010 and 2014) have now been proven to have been true in almost every particular.

Incidentally, in more recent years, the Bar Standards Board wrote to me inviting me to have the disbarment annulled and a “rehearing” take place, mainly because I should never have been tried by a 5-person panel but only by a 3-person panel (which would have had no power to disbar), but I declined, partly because I was already well over 60 and unlikely to resume Bar practice, partly to show my contempt for the Bar (which is now a craven, multikulti dustbin afraid of its own shadow and especially the shadow of the Jewish/Israel lobby).

In other words, had I taken up that suggestion, I should by now have been reinstated as both barrister and —perhaps more useful to me— as a member of Lincoln’s Inn (a pleasant place for a lunch or dinner when in London). Still, I have no regrets, none of importance anyway.

When will “they” have had enough revenge, and enough blood?

Not (yet) quite the view I have been putting on the blog for the past three years, i.e. Russia to take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, as well as a wide coastal strip from the Dnieper as far as a point west of Odessa. Kiev and Odessa to be free cities (either autonomous or jointly-controlled). The rest of Ukraine west of the Dnieper to be ruled by a Ukrainian administration based in Lvov.

I think that the above formulation by me would be fair, and could form the basis for a lasting, if not very friendly, peace.

The Kellogg plan is frankly not as good as mine. It involves British and French forces effectively working with those of the Kiev regime on the ground, and has every likelihood of entangling the Western forces in conflict with Russia, directly.

Russia will never accept that plan anyway.

In any case, from the British point of view, why should we be involved at all? Ukraine has only been a supposed state for 34 years, and Britain has no historical connection with Ukraine, nor any national interest in getting directly involved.

The bottom line, though, is that Russia will never accept such a plan.

Quite right. All sorts of people (often “you know who”…), such as Jonathan Portes, all terribly clever (in their own minds) will be saying, and have for years been saying, that the importation of a million (more or less) unwanted immigrants every year has little or no effect on housing demand. Hardy ha ha…

That useless and half-crazed ex-MP and Cabinet minister (incredibly), Sajid Javid, said something similar years ago, I think.

The “4 million” there should now be replaced by at least 10 million; soon 15 million and 20 million.

Ha. So the little Indian money-juggler “promises” to halve net migration? (“net” includes the 200,000-300,000, mainly real Brits, who leave every year for Australasia etc).

So “only” half a million blacks and browns etc (or more) will be coming in every year?

Oh…that’s not too bad…oh, no, wait a minute…

I have blogged previously about how, to my mind, Farage’s close protection squad seems not very effective. So far, it has been milkshakes and the like, but that may escalate to serious weapons such as knives. He needs to revamp his security to prevent that. The way the UK is going, nothing can be ruled out.

That Reform UK candidate was right in his original comments. Britain should never have declared war on the German Reich, and was not under attack at the time. In fact, the first British soldier was killed on 9 December 1939, over 3 months after war was declared, having stepped on a French landmine: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Priday.

In 1940, Germany made a number of peace proposals, both before and after Dunkirk, all of which were ignored. Hitler even ordered a halt to the German infantry and armour advance on Dunkirk, which allowed that very large large evacuation to occur.

Hitler wanted peace and, if possible, collaboration, with the British Empire. He wanted the two empires to rule most of the world together, or in parallel, opposing both Sovietism and Americanism.

Had peace or at least armistice been declared in 1940 or at the time of the flight of Rudolf Hess in 1941, most of the devastation of Western and Central Europe, including in the UK and Germany, would never have happened.

That peace would also have meant no Cold War, no Korean War, probably no Vietnam War (etc), no “Israel” and therefore no Middle East wars (because the Middle East would have been mainly under British and French control). It would have meant far less environmental degradation in Africa and Asia, and far less civil conflict on those continents.

Had such peace “broken out”, Sovietism would not have encroached upon Eastern and Central Europe, as it did after 1945. The whole of Europe and the world would have been in a better place.

The above shows opinion polling re. the safe (?) Con seat of Tatton, presently occupied (or rather, formerly occupied, until 2024 Dissolution) by ridiculous deadhead Esther McVey. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther_McVey.

My 2019 assessment of Esther McVey: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/10/03/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-esther-mcvey-story/.

It can be seen from the graphic that Esther McVey is pressed closely by the Labour candidate, who is within a point or so of catching her. Also, that the LibDem is on about 12%, and has no chance of actual election.

Were the LibDem-intending voters to vote for Labour, Esther McVey would be turfed out; but will enough of them be sufficiently motivated to do that? Open question.

I do think that tactical voting will be a major theme of this 2024 General Election.

Mel Stride. Conservative. Deadhead. He must have nothing at all between his ears. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Stride.

How does someone with so little intelligence become a Cabinet Minister? Still, look at his predecessors at the DWP, among them Esther McVey and Iain Dunce Duncan Smith…

Good grief. I even agree with Jess Phillips today.

Traitors. Simple as.

“Labour”, as I have repeatedly blogged, will indeed “stop the small boats”, and will do it by having some kind of mainland Europe “processing”, i.e. rubberstamping the applications of 90%+ of those wanting to come here. Maybe even 99%.

Crazy. The link between Jew-Zionism and mental instability is very obvious, and that also applies, very often, to non-Jewish “antifascist” types.

Well, a very poor week for me: 2 out of 10, but still good enough to beat political journalist John Rentoul, who scored only 1/10. I knew the answers to questions 3 and 4, no others.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12843985/Integrating-migrants-society-impossible-current-levels-Robert-Jenrick-warns-quitting-week-immigration-minister.html.

Integrating migrants into society is ‘impossible’ at current levels Robert Jenrick has warned just days after he suddenly quit as immigration minister.

[A statement of the obvious, of course].

Last night he claimed the Tories would face the ‘red-hot fury of voters at the ballot box’ unless further action it taken to bring down the high levels of immigration to the UK.

The former minister went to argue that the Government’s plan to reduce net migration from 745,000 to the 2019 level of 226,000 is a ‘considerable way off.

[Daily Mail].

[in what world is even 200,000 —net— acceptable?].

Zelensky’s inner circle are wary of a threat from the influential Zaluzhny, who has claimed the war has reached a stalemate. Sources tell me that they have tried to have the military chief fired, but he was just too popular.”

[Daily Mail]

It is claimed that the Jew Zelensky not only has 2 luxury villas outside Ukraine, one (in Florida) worth USD $40M, but also has bought two superyachts or megayachts in the UAE.

As to “stalemate“, we shall see during the drier weather of summer 2024 whether Russia has the means and the men to make a general advance on Kiev.

Whether that happens or not, Russia cannot lose the war in Ukraine, and will not lose it.

Only very silly people would believe a word Starmer may say.

The bien-pensants of Twitter/X may say that housing, pay, benefits, pensions etc are more important than immigration as a mainstream political issue, but the fact is that mass immigration and migration invasion make those issues —and others— far more pressing. It affects everything.

Note that Ian Birrell wrote speeches for David Cameron-Levita, whereas Portes is a Jew closely connected, at least in the past, with the Labour Party, but both attack Goodwin’s thesis because both are pro-immigration and therefore, perforce, in favour of the flooding of the UK with immigrants.

Sinn Fein is just a bad joke now.

As I have consistently blogged for nearly 2 years, Russia cannot “lose” the Ukrainian war, strategically.

Isabel Oakeshott, once you take away the superficially articulate self-confidence, is an ignorant creature, scribbling and appearing on TV to make money. As for her boyfriend, Tice, the leader of the Farage vehicle “Reform UK”, he too strikes me as little more than mediocre, speaking politically. Also, like Farage, he is a complete puppet of the Israel lobby, so as far as I am concerned, that’s Tice binned…

“Reform UK” is just a pointless thing: a slightly more populist, slightly more anti-immigration version of the Conservative Party. Very much “controlled opposition”.

Still, the one good thing about “Reform UK” is that, out of desperation, many native Brits may vote for it next year, at the 2024 General Election. Matt Goodwin forecasts 10% or even 15%. If so, the Conservative Party, which is surely at the end of the line, will be as good as terminated even if (as is possible and probable) “Reform UK” gets no seats at all.

If “Reform UK” gets a nationwide 15% next year, and if the Conservative Party manages only 20%, the result (using Electoral Calculus) would be that the Conservative Party will be left with only 49 seats: https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

One or two people I knew used to get angry with me when I said that both the white Rhodesians (from 1979) and the white South Africans (from 1994) surrendered power, in effect, “for a swimming pool”, meaning their “way of life”. They were all too ready to accept the global conspiracy’s presentation of Mugabe and Mandela as “educated”, “civilized” leaders who respected the minority of white “settlers” (in the case of South Africa, “settlers” who, in some cases, could trace their ancestors having lived in Africa back to the 17th Century, longer than many of the Africans in that part of the continent).

So it was that that, for a while, the Rhodesians were able to keep living a comfortable life, until, about a decade later, the African mob realized that their lives had, if anything, deteriorated under “African” “majority” rule. Mugabe then appointed Africans to high positions and allowed approved Africans to seize white-owned farms; sometimes the real owners were just killed. All the while, the BBC and msm generally in the UK continued to praise the Mugabe regime. Eventually, of course, the economy, currency, and society generally collapsed.

In South Africa, a more complex society, and one which had at one time about 20% of its population white European, the process has been slower but similar. For quite a while, the white Europeans (English and Afrikaaner “Dutch”) were able to pretend that all was sort-of well: SUVs, rugby shirts, braai (barbecue) gatherings…Sadly, the South African train has pretty much hit the buffers now. The ANC has ruined South Africa, and the African urban and rural masses are angry that their lives have not improved.

As for white South Africans, they have voted with their feet.

The absurd thing is that both white societies could have held out. Once the Soviet Union collapsed (officially, 1991, but really from 1989), the ending of Soviet funding for the ANC and other “liberation” movements shifted the strategic balance. South Africa need never have held the whites-only Referendum which (thanks to propaganda) delivered a vote to bin apartheid by about 69% to 31% of the vote.

Rhodesia was in a more difficult position militarily, admittedly, but probably could have carried on until 1989/1990.

How long before South Africa descends totally into chaos and bloodshed? Maybe another decade.

Using Electoral Calculus, that would leave the Con Party with 124 seats, far worse than in 1945 (197) or 1997 (165), but not necessarily completely “existential”. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

If, however, Reform UK gets a 15% slice next year, rather than 9%, and if that increase comes from former Con and Lab voters equally, the 124 Con MPs reduce to 115. If Reform UK gets 15% and the extra 6 points come exclusively from former Con voters, then the number of Con MPs reduces further, to 47. Big difference.

I should have thought that Reform UK voters are mostly discontented former Con voters.

I am often critical of (some) farmers and of both their behaviour and attitudes, but it is not an unmixed picture by any means.

It becomes very obvious that “the virus” is being used, being weaponized. Coronavirus or “Covid-19” has killed about 1 out of every 1,400 people in the UK. More accurately, it has killed 1 out of every 1,400 people, who have mostly been over 80 and who mostly had several other serious conditions. Even leaving all that aside, it still means that 1,399 people out of 1,400 in the UK have either not had “Covid-19”, or have had it and survived (usually without ever having noticed that they were infected).

International organizations, such as the World Economic Forum, have openly proclaimed the virus situation as an “opportunity” for a “Great Reset” of world society.

The populations of Europe, USA etc are being taken for a ride.

“Ain’t that the truth?”…not only about Jewish talking head Portes, though. The general point is also true. Fake or supposed “professors” are everywhere now. At one time, “Professor” was an esteemed rank or title. Now? Well, of course every tertiary educational institute, however basic, is now a “university”. “Universities” need or anyway have “professors”. So now we have not only “grade inflation” and “award inflation”, but also “title inflation”. “Professors” are two a penny these days.

That’s not to say that Portes is always wrong about everything; he was right, imo, about the wrongheadedness of most if not all of the policies pursued by George Osborne, 2010-2015.

Ha ha! Lammy must have been a crap barrister! Unintentional admission implied?

Seems that “William Baldet MBE” cannot see how wide those categories are or could be (interpreted as). More likely, there is a degree of disingenousness there; https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/people/william-baldet/?team_cpt=IMT_PAGE_TEMPLATE

As for the “professionalism” no doubt claimed by “Prevent” and its practitioners or employees, I believe that there are no Israeli settlements in Gaza; not even the most determined anti-Zionists claim that! So not terribly impressive that “Prevent” gets even basic and unargued facts wrong…Unless, of course, Channel 4 changed “West Bank” to “Gaza”.

Admittedly, I have not studied “Prevent” etc much, but such programmes always strike me as amateurs playing “Spooks“. I did blog once, a couple of years ago, about this: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/05/30/one-mans-extremism-is-another-mans-struggle-for-liberty-and-justice/.

Takes the CST Jewish snoop organization as credible?

Ooh! Swastikas drawn somewhere! Better call out the SWAT squad! Actually, just **** off…

Meanwhile (see below), the BBC fulfils its role as craven System (and present Government) mouthpiece…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-55350794

Unintentionally amusing. Could be applied to one of the biggest —and unproven— “conspiracy theories” of all— the “holocaust” “gas chambers”…

Exactly. Jewish lobby puppet Starmer wants even more “lockdown”, shutdown and facemask nonsense. He’s as much of a waste of space as “Boris”…

“NWO” and “ZOG” pretty much covers the waterfront… Add in “the Great Reset” and “Great Replacement” if you like…

Ha ha! As the Irish are said to say “will ya look at that eejit?!“…

Exactly. Also, you will never get to the bottom of this if you try to apply ordinary party or other political ideas to it. This is not about the outer labels of “Conservative” or “Labour” etc, not even about trying to create a Bilderberg/WEF “one world” corporatist tyranny. That is just part of it.

This is about trying to steer the whole of the world in an oligarchic materialist-dictatorship direction. It is tied-in with occult, evil purposes which reach right down into everyday life, even into family life.

Wealth is certainly part of this but there must be more. I am not scientifically trained (just like “Boris” and his Cabinet of clowns), but it is surely at least possible that the hidden agenda of the vaccines is to secretly weaken the human immune system so that, in a year, 3 years, 10 years, a new virus will “suddenly” appear and wipe out most of the population of the world, who (thanks to robotics and AI) are thought “Not Wanted On Voyage”…

Surely Neil Clark did not seriously think that “Labour” drones in Parliament or outside (or the pathetic self-describing “Left” Twitter-twits) would stand up for freedom and civil rights? They cannot even stand up for free speech against the Jew-Zionist element.

Well, admittedly I live in a “Tier 2” area, but over a whole 9-10 months now, not only have I not known anyone personally who has had the “virus”, but I know, from questioning people, that I do not know anyone who knows anyone who has had it. Not died from it, or been to hospital because of it, just had it, or been tested and found be infected. Not one.

I read online about people in London or Birmingham who have supposedly had it. I have no reason to doubt at least some of those claims, but this is not, or not yet, a plague. The big headline today or yesterday about this was “318,000 virus deaths in USA”, which (though many did not die of the virus anyway) is a huge number, but the USA has about 350 million inhabitants, so that is still far less than 1 in every 1,000 inhabitants.

That Stadlen individual is typical of many in the UK today, especially those who make a living being scribblers or TV talking heads. Unlike most of their predecessors, they see nothing wrong in censoring views, either directly or indirectly (the latter by simply encouraging the BBC, Sky, Press etc to disallow dissidents to write or speak).

Ah…got it: “Stadlen is the grandson of Austrian Jews, the concert pianist Peter Stadlen and Hedi Stadlen, the activist and musicologist, both born in Vienna... He has said that he gets his ginger hair from his Jewish great, great uncle, Onkl Friedl.[5] He considers himself half Jewish and has spoken out against anti-Semitism many times.” [Wikipedia] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Stadlen.

Stadlen has a First in Classics from Cambridge, albeit gained since award inflation became rampant, yet seems never to have heard of onus probandi incumbit ei qui dicit, non ei qui negat, sometimes put more simply as the rule that “he who asserts must prove“.

In the above case, the positive action taken was to institute “lockdown”. That changed the norm. Therefore it is for those who claim that “lockdowns” work to prove that they do. Not merely assume or assert; prove.

What does this Stadlen care? Wealthy Jewish background, well-paid jobs for BBC and other msm outlets. Looks like he has had a pretty easy life so far. No real concern for the millions of British people suffering (and about to suffer far more). Just crocodile tears tacked on to the end of his virtue-signalling.

All part of the “fear propaganda” brainwashing and conditioning.

Atrocious” maybe, but scarcely surprising to anyone who has seen on TV Anneliese Dodds, let alone Angela Rayner or Keir Starmer. Not that I have much time for Indian “clever boy” Sunak either.

End the “lockdown” nonsense now!

Fewer than 24 people are catching coronavirus each day in London, new modelling suggests, with forecasts predicting the virus could be wiped out in the capital within a fortnight.

Analysis by Public Health England and Cambridge University calculates that the “R” reproduction rate has fallen to 0.4 in London, with the number of new cases halving every 3.5 days.

If cases continue to decrease at the current rate, the virus will be virtually eliminated in the capital by the end of the month, raising questions about whether the strict lockdown measures would need to continue.” [Daily Telegraph]

Government subsidy for the self-employed

A government scheme to support self-employed workers signed up 440,000 people on its first day at a cost of £1.3bn, according to the Treasury.

The self-employment income support scheme (SEISS) provides workers whose finances have been hit by the coronavirus pandemic with a cash grant of 80% of their average monthly trading profits up to a cap of £2,500, backdated to cover the last three months.

Launched this week, more than two weeks ahead of schedule, the scheme is expected to support up to 3.5 million of the UK’s 5.2 million self-employed people.” [Guardian]

What strikes me first is how “autres temps autres mœurs“…

In the past decade particularly, we have seen the way in which the Conservative Party governments (aided in 2010-2015 by their LibDem enablers) stigmatized the poor, and particularly the poor who are also unemployed and/or disabled, and living on mostly very modest State benefit monies.

Many people who are now gratefully in receipt of the “furlough” payments for furloughed employees, and those who are applying for what amounts to the new State benefit for the (supposedly) “self-employed”, will have voted “Conservative” in the past 10 years. Amazing how attitudes change with circumstances…

While the new “benefits” are modest (the maximum claimable is £2,500 per month), they are still more than almost all unemployed and disabled can claim (even if Housing Benefit etc is included in the latter categories’ monies).

It reminds me of the attitudes of the farmers, who like to pretend that they are self-standing independent people running agricultural businesses, yet who “accept” farm subsidies and grants at (under the system as it now is, which may change) around £150 an acre merely for owning or renting land, fundamentally. A farmer with 200 acres (the overall average), will get 200 x £150, so about £30,000 a year. Not huge, but still pretty good for doing effectively nothing (a simplification, but one cannot get into more here)! That sum will be payable whether the farm makes £100,000 profit, £10,000 profit, nothing, or a loss.

The farmers do not see themselves as being “on benefits”, of course! You only have to listen to BBC Radio 4 Farming Today to hear the convoluted arguments and language they and the NFU farmers’ lobby employ to justify their subsidies (“providing a service“, “doing environmental work“, “growing the food the nation/world needs“, “ensuring Britain’s food security” etc…). Anything but “we want the State to pay us for owning land“, though occasionally you do hear “without the farm payments, half the farmers in England will go out of business“. And your point is?… The coal mines, steel works etc used to say the same.

Is it April the First?

There are now so many red flag warnings that Western society has gone mad that it is hard to select from the hundreds, thousands, of examples. What about this?!

Regular readers will know that I have blogged about Little Greta Nut (now 17) previously:

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/09/29/greta-thunberg-system-approved-wunderkind/

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/10/09/extinction-rebellion-greta-thunberg-cressida-dick-and-the-madness-of-protesting-crowds/

One of the few good things about the Coronavirus situation is that, up until now, it has pushed Greta Nut off the news agenda. Now, those behind her have managed to inveigle her back on, despite her lack of any knowledge or qualification.

Economic ruination?

Almost half of UK businesses are within six months of running out of cash, despite the lifeline provided by the government’s furlough scheme, according to the latest official snapshot of how firms are faring.

In its fortnightly survey on the economic impact of Covid-19, the Office for National Statistics found 44% of firms that responded said their reserves would last for less than six months.”

About 27% said they had cash that would last beyond six months.” [The Guardian]

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/may/14/almost-half-of-uk-firms-could-run-out-of-money-within-six-months

So only a quarter of UK enterprises have cash reserves sufficient to last them beyond November of this year? Sobering.

When the government put the economy into lockdown in March a third (33%) of those surveyed said they thought it would take six months or more for the country to bounce back to its pre-crisis state, but that figure has risen to 46%.” [The Guardian]

The “furlough” and other recent Government schemes are expensive in themselves (at least £8 billion per month, and now more, with the “self-employed” subsidy), but a debt of that sort (meaning eventually perhaps £100 billion) is at a level that can be handled, given that the UK can at present borrow at long-term rock-bottom interest rates

The economist Jonathan Portes was making that point only this morning on the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme. If I heard correctly, he thought that it worked out at £30 per person per year (interest or interest + capital repayment? I have seen £100 per year as a combined figure). In any event, not catastrophic. A long-term national debt burden.

What would be catastrophic would be a general economic collapse. Were that to happen, the pound sterling would fall like a stone (despite the similar problems in other countries, particularly EU countries). That in turn would make imports prohibitively expensive. Britain imports (including raw materials) about 80% of its food.

In addition, a general economic collapse would cause enormous unemployment, in that genuine employment would be hit, and so would the basically fake (short-term, “gig economy”, part-time, zero-hours) employment and (equally fake, really) “self-employment” of millions.

Still, as Lenin put it, “worse will mean better…” meaning that, for us now, and in 2021-22, there might be, for the first time in my present lifetime, a realistic chance for social nationalism in the UK.

White genocide

The tweeter below sees, in the Daily Mail‘s cropping of a photo, “white racism” but I see something else— the cover-up around “the Great Replacement” of whites by non-whites in Europe.

When I was a child, in the early and mid 1960s (I was in Australia 1967-69), Britain was an almost-entirely white country (despite the lies put out to the masses by shows such as Grantchester, Endeavour, various other popular TV shows). Certainly you never saw many, if any, blacks or browns etc in most of the country or even in Central London (there were enclaves in ports such as Liverpool and Cardiff). In fact, the only black person I believe I ever saw in England was the consultant (ear, nose, throat) from somewhere in the Caribbean, whom I saw when aged about 6, maybe 7, at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.

Now, the BBC and the msm generally have stolen British (and other European) history, right back to the Middle Ages, and even to Roman Britain and earlier!

The Conservatives have slipped back to 51% popularity. What, I wonder, would David Cameron-Levita or Theresa May not have given for such a level of support? However, it is merely popularity by default, given that Labour support continues to bump along the bottom, a function of irrelevance.

Hard to argue against the above Hitchens comment, looking at the present government of fools.

There is no correlation between fatalities and lockdown stringency. The most stringent lockdowns – as in China, Italy, Spain, New Zealand and Britain – have yielded both high and low deaths per million. Hi-tech has apparently “worked” in South Korea, but so has no-tech in Sweden. Sweden’s 319 deaths per million is far ahead of locked-down Norway’s 40 and Denmark’s 91, but it’s well behind locked-down UK’s 465 and Spain’s 569.” [The Guardian]

An attack on Boris-idiot

Britain’s last experience of protracted national disruption, Jim Callaghan’s Labour government continued to lead the Conservatives in some polls. But as the crisis dragged on, and seemed increasingly beyond Callaghan’s control, the government’s ratings collapsed and never fully recovered.

If that happens to Johnson, the disconnect between his popularity and his political abilities will stop being a mystery that columns like this try to solve. His long hold over voters and the media, ever since he won the mayoralty in usually Labour-supporting London 12 years ago, will be seen as a bit of a con – like an enticing but dodgy company that eventually went bust.”

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/may/15/boris-johnson-votewinning-optimism-reality-ronald-reagan-half-truths

All well and good, but if the public get fed up (enough) with Boris-idiot and his government of fools, to where do they turn? Britain, or at least England, has a basically binary system. When the “other party” is flat on its back, defeated, irrelevant, as Labour now is, will the electorate turn to it? Doubtful, especially with someone like Keir Starmer as leader and MPs such as Rachel Reeves around him. You never know, and the System loves the pointless ping-pong on Con-Lab politics, but Labour has no real base any more, in any sense; unless you say that Labour’s base is now the affluent but virtue-signalling London multikulti types, and the Twitterati, together with the ethnic minorities (except Jews) and public service people. The old Labour of the steel mills, the coal mines, the transport unions, the (now near-irrelevant) TUC, has disappeared.

Again, this should be, in theory, the time when social nationalism rises up to destroy the evil ones, but there is no such party, no such movement. Yet.
