“A knifeman has left several people dead after stabbing random passersby in the neck in a horrific ‘terror attack’ at a diversity festival in Germany.
The ‘Festival of Diversity,’ marking the city’s 650th anniversary, began on Friday and was supposed to run through Sunday, with 80,000 people expected.“
[Daily Mail]
The nationality of the killer is not known as yet. Chances are that he is from the Middle East, South Asia, or Africa.
When was the last time a German or an Englishman went to, say, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen or similar ghastly country, attended a “diversity” festival, and stabbed random strangers who were keen to promote a multikulti society and were —no doubt— “refugees welcome” dimwits? Answer— never.
For one thing, the denizens of those countries do not want a “multicultural society” (it’s their way or the highway); they have no “diversity” or similar festivals. Secondly, Europeans just do not behave like that.
Wake up, Europe…for God’s sake.
We do not want these backward hordes on our continent.
I find myself wondering whether the surviving German attendees of the “diversity festival” have now come to a different point of view, as compared to a couple of days ago.
Having said all that, there are probably now more people stabbed to death in the UK, indeed in London alone, every day, and mostly, in fact almost entirely, by non-whites.
If a car crashes, and 3 or 4 people are killed, the matter will not be reported in the national Press unless there are newsworthy aspects. If, however, a light plane crashes in a field, killing 3 or 4 people, that is almost always reported in national newspapers, and maybe even on national TV. It’s a question of what people think important.
“Scientists are calling for a new analysis of the Shroud of Turin amid a seemingly growing body of evidence that challenges the idea it’s a fake.“
[Daily Mail]
Interesting. Of course, the Roman Catholic Church has never explicitly said that the Shroud is directly connected to the Crucifixion; the phrase used is that the Shroud is “an aid to faith.”

“Kennedy’s decision to withdraw from the swing states in favor of Trump completely changes the election landscape. After all, it is the situation in these states that will decide the fate of the presidential election. Kamala was ahead of Trump in the polls there by 1-3 percent almost everywhere. But now Kennedy’s electorate will go over to the former president, and that’s 5-6 percent. The Democrats are in trouble.“
I do not know enough about the nitty-gritty of the American electoral landscape to know whether this is the game-changer for Trump that is claimed, or not. Will Kennedy’s move favour Trump, or will his intending voters prefer Kamala Harris, or will that group be split? I just do not know.
On the face of it, it might favour Trump (and I really cannot see why anyone would vote for Kamala Harris as potential head of state and government, though that is not quite true— there are huge numbers of American blacks who will vote for her just because she is non-white, as there are huge numbers of women who will vote for her merely because she is a woman).

So, unless Trump can prevail, the USA will be “led” by a “woke” joke woman with no European cultural or ethnic background, backed up by the above clown. What could go wrong?

Sabrina Miller was also, when still a student, the main driver of a Jew-Zionist campaign to unseat Dr. David Miller (no relation) at Bristol University, a campaign which succeeded in its objective (after having been amplified by “the usual suspects” in the Press), though Miller later won his unfair dismissal case in the Employment Tribunal.

Indeed, the whole situation has become an instant myth. The country was not full of burning cities a week or two ago.

Some animals instinctively know when their lives are in danger. In the same or a similar way, the British people know instinctively that this society is facing existential peril. A million or more immigrants every single year. Completely unsustainable.
That feeling, on the part of the people, is not an academic or quasi-intellectual judgment, which is why the recent protests were often filled with the relatively uneducated. However, the instinctive feeling of the mob is not mistaken, even if some of the actions taken were mistaken.

Just as I blogged in the past few days. Real criminals (mostly non-white) released early, after having served 40% or even (after other early-release measures) 20% of their headline sentence; meanwhile, white English protesters incarcerated. Some are literally children, some are of pensionable age, many have done nothing but make online comments, shout at a paramilitary police drone, or even simply be present where “disorder” is happening.
Those are the bulk of the people that that Starmer-Labour drone on TV thinks “need to be in prison“. He (whoever he is) is a disgrace, as is Starmer-Labour.
Hard to imagine it, but that stupid and surely drunken woman might be President of the United States by early 2025.

A poor week. I scored only the same as political journalist John Rentoul— 3/10. I knew only the answers to questions 1, 2, and 5; had I thought a bit more, I should also have recalled no. 9 and no. 10.
Talking point
As David Starkey says, Starmer is (along with others and, particularly but not exclusively, in “the party formerly known as Labour”) attempting to institute a kind of “woke” and multikulti police state.
Where I differ from Starkey is in having no faith in the idea that a different ethos of national identity can suddenly emerge or be fostered, not without a homogenous population. The UK population is going the other way, becoming ever-more heterogenous, and spinning out of control.
I also differ from Starkey in that he thinks, or hopes, that, if he or someone else puts forward a reasoned and reasonable argument, eventually people will accept the propositions put forward. The credo of the traditional or classical academic.
All very well, as far as it goes, but Mao put forward the credo of Realpolitik, that is “political power comes out of the barrel of a gun“.
Not that that I agree wholeheartedly with that Maoist quotation either. The —by any other name— “revolution” in the DDR/East Germany in 1989 was not violent. There were vast, though peaceful, demonstrations in several major DDR cities (Dresden, Leipzig etc). The Lutheran Church was part of all that.
The East German state was still arresting some dissidents even in 1989, but the heart had gone. I recall the strange feeling I had when spending a couple of days in the DDR in 1988. Like a stage set of a state rather than a real one, an impression made stronger by the seemingly almost-depopulated southern parts of East Germany through which I travelled by car. I have blogged once or twice previously about my impressions of the place(s).
As a matter of fact, the slightly contrived “revolutions” of the late 1980s in Romania, Czechoslovakia etc were mainly non-violent, as they were in the pribaltika (Baltic states). I myself saw Czechoslovakia briefly in 1988, just before it all happened, and was in Poland several times in 1988 and 1989.
In Poland, even in 1988, one got the impression that the state there was going through the motions of being a “socialist” state but that, just under the surface, the whole population, pretty much, was “dissident” in one way or another; a kind of vast, non-violent anti-socialist conspiracy of a whole people.
Even in the Soviet Union, a huge “revolution” happened over several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, mostly though not entirely peaceful, and including (as in Romania and elsewhere) many elements of the socialist-state structure.
Starkey is or was a Conservative, politically. He seems at least slightly taken with Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick. Why? The first is a Nigerian (though born in London) and so, in my opinion, unfitted by that fact alone to be a British political leader, let alone Prime Minister. I have, also, never heard anything worthwhile from her.
Born 1982, qualified late as solicitor, aged 26, but was in legal practice for only about 4 years (with two of the leading American law firms, sequentially; presumably quite junior), and was then (somehow; how?) a director of Christie’s auctioneers (though only until he became an MP a few months later).
Jenrick’s provenance interests me. It also disquiets.
Jenrick, yet another member of Conservative Friends of Israel, is tied up with Jewish businessmen and property-developer sharks, and pushed for the ruination of the small park by the Palace of Westminster by the proposed construction of a hugely-ugly “holocaust” “memorial” and propaganda centre.
In addition, Jenrick ordered, as minister for immigration, murals for children of migrant-invaders to be painted over because the colourful murals might give them pleasure and comfort.
No-one, I think, could accuse me of being either pro-immigration or in favour of granting privileges to migrant-invaders, but that mean-spirited targeting of any small children of such invaders by Jenrick felt morally wrong to me.
Like Starmer, Jenrick is married to a Jewish woman and has had children with her.
Jenrick just feels wrong to me. He’s a bad apple.
As to the Starkey interview, while I can agree with much of what he says there, he is too much in the ivory tower in the end.
Ironically, for someone “cancelled” by the System for making “racist” remarks, he seems to me insufficiently so. How does he imagine this country will recover in the way that he hopes when 20% of the population is already non-European, and with another ~million coming in every year at present? Make that, conservatively, about a 2% increase annually.
It seems to me that Starkey knows in his heart that I am right (even if, as is quite likely, he has never heard of me), but fears to say so; don’t forget that he “apologized” and tried to retract after he was “cancelled”. Never pretend to apologize to either the mob or to “them” (((them))).
The video is worth watching, though.
Further talking points
Good grief.
Listen to that “muppet” (on the second video clip), one Benjamin Butterworth. Complete idiot. Complete traitor to this country’s people and their future, too. Former (?) Chairman of Young Labour (in London). Scribbled a few times for the Guardian some years ago, apparently. https://www.theguardian.com/profile/benjamin-butterworth.
Poor thinking skills. Very poor, in fact. A fanatic, but one with nothing of interest to say. Claims that “legal immigrants” (the vast majority of all immigrants) all “come into the country with a job“. A straight lie. Huge numbers enter as supposed “fiances”, “fiancees”, “spouses”, “students”, “family members”, “asylum seekers” etc; and even those supposedly entering “with a job” (on work visas) are often not bona fide at all.
I fear that much of Starmer’s strongest support comes from semi-educated and anti-British fanatics of that sort.
I rather think that GB News had that Butterworth on because they knew that he would create a kind of petty storm among the discussion panel.

MOST READ this week #1. Here comes the free speech CRACKDOWN –which we must RESIST. How Labour and the left plan to undermine our hard-won freedomshttps://t.co/zV4J9VyUSV
Interesting to note that the msm always applauds “resistance” (including violent “resistance”) in, for example, historically, the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, Italy, Spain, and in various other parts of the world; in South America, even in contemporary North America and Europe, so long as Jews, non-whites, or sometimes Communist partisans, are doing the various forms of “protest”, but as soon as contemporary white people do the same, they must, apparently, be shut down, “cancelled”, even prosecuted and, indeed, even imprisoned. Not even because they have been violent, in fact. Look at Jez Turner, imprisoned for making a speech, Alison Chabloz, for singing satirical songs and posting cartoons; more recently, Sam Melia, for having published stickers the subject-matter of which was not even unlawful.

The only question is whether Putin will simply utilize conventional military methods to push the Kiev-regime forces out of that part of the Kursk region which they have recently invaded, or whether he will do something entirely unexpected by the Western msm, such as use very powerful bombs and missiles (even tactical nuclear ones) to blast clear the whole of the occupied area. There is an outside chance that he might even launch a massive air bombardment on Kharkov or even Kiev.
Whatever the Russian response is, the Kiev-regime forces will be unable to hold the recently-invaded territory. Zelensky himself has admitted as much, though saying that Kiev “is not interested” in doing so. If that is so, why invade that territory in the first place? Clearly, as a public relations exercise to keep Western arms and money flowing in.
Meanwhile, in the Donbass region to the south, Russian forces are steadily advancing at present. About a mile per day. Not spectacular, but the Kiev-regime forces, short of —most of all— soldiers, will have no chance of regaining those areas, or of stopping the Russian advance, all the more so now that some of the better Ukrainian detachments have been re-deployed to assist with the Kursk incursion.

So, Israeli death toll on 7 October 2023— about 1,180.
Palestinian Arab death toll in Gaza since 7 October 2023 to date— over 40,000.
40x the number…
Also, the Israelis have made Gaza all but uninhabitable.

The Jews in Israel/Palestine will not be content (and in fact not even then) until they “own”, by conquest or trickery or terrorist gangsterism, all of the land in the country. Many of those Jew “settlers” (terrorists) are not even of “Israeli” origin, but have recently arrived from the USA, Australia, the UK, France etc.
Harold Wilson was (in the 1960s; he returned for a couple of years in the 1970s) Prime Minister at a time of transition, when Britain still had (more) remnants of our once-vast Empire, and when it still stood up sometimes to the demands of our supposed “ally” across the Atlantic. Wilson refused to join the USA in the Vietnam War, though Australia and New Zealand did, considering themselves bound by their SEATO membership [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia_Treaty_Organization]. The UK, though, was also a SEATO member, as were other states.
Domestically, the UK still had so many possibilities (in the 1960s as well as the 1970s), partly because mass immigration had scarcely started, as compared to 2024 (you rarely, almost never, saw black, brown, or other non-European persons). The very few (literally one or two, except at Oxford University) seen by me in the 1960s in Berkshire and Oxfordshire, where I lived, were occasional people such as NHS consultants.
I should know what the UK was like back then: I was born in 1956.
In the 1960s, there were many modernizing developments in the UK (for good or ill, sometimes for good) such as the Open University, the first motorways (M1, M4), Concorde etc. Also, after 20 years, Britain was just starting to pull away strongly from the restricted post-WW2 atmosphere that had hung over the country since the Pyrrhic victory of 1945.
As for Wilson himself, I encountered him when I was 9, or maybe just 10, in 1966 (my birthday being in early September). I was for some reason determined to meet him and, knowing that he was on the island, stalked a few people who looked, to my mind, a bit like him until I found my quarry on the quay at Hugh Town, St. Mary’s, accompanied by his sole bodyguard, a slim “British officer” type with a pencil moustache, his pistol and holster hidden under a cricket jumper tied around his waist, only the thin brown gun belt over the shoulder giving it away.
[the 9-10 year-old Millard, at left, with younger brothers and Harold Wilson, in 1966]
Wilson has been much-criticized over the years, but had some good qualities, not only personally but politically. He was unlucky inasmuch as the trade unions were all-powerful at the time, and because Britain was still, psychologically, fighting the Second World War.

Darren Grimes cannot believe it…he must have missed the times when, to take only one or two examples from recent years, Jez Turner (Jeremy Bedford-Turner) was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment for making a brief speech in Whitehall which merely suggested, in one sentence, that Jews should be expelled from England, as they had been (more than once) centuries ago. Darren Grimes and all those other “alt-right” talking heads and scribblers must have also missed the imprisonment of Alison Chabloz for having posted a few satirical songs and cartoons.
Other such free speech martyrs have included Sam Melia of Patriotic Alternative and “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch).

I thought, before Biden stood aside, that Trump was “nailed on” to win, but the Kamala Harris candidature changes that, stupid and incredibly ignorant though she is.
For one thing, the American masses now vote mainly according to identity box-ticking. Many of the blacks will vote for Kamala Harris just because she is non-white (half-Jamaican, half-Tamil Indian). Many American women will vote for her simply because she is a woman.
I am beginning to think that Trump might lose this. Maybe that is why he is trying to get the Jews on-side. They may only comprise 2% of the American population, but their influence over the mass media makes their support all but indispensable for Trump.

The last 2 days have seen pointless arguments: “was the killer at Southport Muslim or not?” (not, it seems), and “was the killer at Southport ‘British’ or not?” (no, not in the world of reality, but he was born in the UK to Africans). Also, “were the rioters in Leeds Muslim?” (no, Roma Gypsies). All a stupid and pointless media and social media circus.
Anyway, comment about the specific Southport perpetrator must now be limited by reason of someone having been charged and arraigned.
What really matters is the big picture— the failure of “multicultural” Britain. The fact that only 80% of the inhabitants of these islands are now white European, let alone British. Even in 1989 it was about 93%, and in the 1960s at least 95%.
In England specifically, well below that 80% figure, and in the big cities far far below.
“Foreign-born” is not a very accurate measure anyway. As we have seen, many non-whites are born in the UK, but more than that many non-whites are not only born in the UK, but are born to parents themselves born in the UK.

First of all, the full facts, in detail, are not publicly known; I certainly do not know them.
Having said that, a few things do occur to me. The most forceful policeman in the now-infamous video clip plainly went far beyond what was necessary. His prisoner or opponent was lying face down, hands apparently bound. He was apparently not moving at all. The policeman kicked him in the head, a hard kick which might have killed the prisoner. The policeman then stamped down hard —he was wearing boots— another assault that might also have killed the prisoner.
Secondly, the context is not on film; allegedly, an immediately-earlier assault by the Muslim family on a policewoman and another. I suppose that that policewoman was the young woman running around like a headless chicken in the video. Useless.
Thirdly, I noticed in the later video that another totally useless policewoman was there, doing nothing but being a useless extra body. There should probably be a rethink about the utility of policewomen in uniformed front-line roles, as UK society becomes ever-more violent.
Fourthly, the comment of Richard Tice MP of Reform UK, applauding the (apparent) over-reaction by one or two of the policemen, was predictably brainless.
Fifthly, the cartoon below is increasingly relevant in the UK:

Of the remaining (12) voters who did vote, a mere 4 voted Labour, 3 Conservative, 2 each for Reform UK and LibDem (though Reform got far more votes), and 1 (not quite) voted Green.

Across the political spectrum Kamala Harris is deeply unpopular. They will try to insert another candidate before the DNC, but remember she has a major advantage – access to the campaign money already raised for Biden.

“The chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission has rejected calls from the justice secretary to resign after a report on its handling of the Andrew Malkinson case laid bare “a catalogue of failures”.
The new justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, said Pitcher was “unfit to fulfil her duties” and that she was seeking her removal in light of the findings. It is understood that she made her position clear to Pitcher on Thursday morning in the hope that she would resign.
But Pitcher said she was the “best person” for the job and that she had no intention of standing down.
James Burley, who led Appeal’s investigation into Malkinson’s case, said the report was “utterly damning” and detailed “a catalogue of failures by the CCRC”.
He said: “No one can doubt now that the CCRC is a broken safety net which sets the bar unreasonably high for innocent prisoners trying to clear their names. The CCRC must be completely overhauled.”
“Helen Pitcher OBE Chair of the Judicial Appointments Commission talked to Bhini Phagura from Raydens solicitors about her career.
Tell us about your career progression which led to your appointment as the Chair of the Judicial Appointments Commission:
“I studied law at QMC London and used this degree as a basis for a career in commerce, where I rapidly progressed up the ranks to become an Executive and Divisional Director in Grand Metropolitan. I retained a footprint in the law in various roles related to Standards, Fairness, Equity and Diversity.“
Well…wouldn’t you just know it?
There’s more:
“The first role I held in parallel to my Commercial career was as a lay representative of the Professional Conduct and Complaints Committee of the Bar Council.” [now split into the Bar Standards Board and the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal].
Yes, there is usually at least one useless woman of this sort sitting (well-paid, too), but doing nothing, when a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal sits. In 5-person tribunal cases (as mine was, in fact wrongly— it should have been a 3-person tribunal, which has no power to disbar) there are usually two such women (they always seem to be women, as on benches of lay magistrates), invariably a pair of unsmiling and stupid “bookends”. Useless box-tickers. See also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.
“I also became a lay representative on the Employment Appeal Tribunal and still hold this office.
I then joined the Queens Counsel (as it was then) Selection Panel and rapidly became its chair. Whilst there we improved the Diversity Statistics.“
Again the “diversity statistics“… Why am I not at all surprised?
“I held this role for 9 years. On stepping down, I decided not to apply for another role as I also had a burgeoning Consultancy and Portfolio Career. About 18 months later, however, an advertisement for the role of the Chair of the CCRC (Criminal Cases Review Commission) was brought to my attention.
Last year the role of Chairman at the JAC (Judicial Appointments Commission) became available. A Headhunter contacted me having uncovered my background on LinkedIn. I checked with the MoJ that there was no conflict of interest and submitted my application. On December 31st following a Justice Select Committee earlier in the month, I was appointed and took up the post on January 16th [2023].”
My role as chair involves leading the Board, ensuring appropriate oversight on governance and providing appropriate challenge and support to the executive. I am also involved in some of the most senior appointments.
I have rationalised my portfolio (which was a Commitment I gave to the JSC) in order to ensure I have the appropriate amount of time to devote to this key role.
You are holding this role for 3 years from January 2023, what are your aims/goals?
The strategic aims were already set, however they are due for a refresh as the period they covered draws to a close. These aims, which are developed in conjunction with the Board and executive, are on our website and thus in the public domain.
Our primary purpose set out by statute is to recruit on merit, our secondary (and no less important role) is to assist the rest of the judicial system to increase the diversity pool. It is for this reason that I also chair the Judicial Diversity Forum, which has a clear action plan to achieve its aims.”
So the secondary role is as important as the primary one? How muddled and wrongheaded is the stupid woman?
[Legal Women (online-only) magazine]
The interview is rather badly written, unfortunately, with superfluous upper-case here and there; as can be seen, it is the product of an Indian woman.
Well, there we have it. That greedy and plainly incompetent Pitcher woman has made a whole career, and no doubt a very lucrative one, out of “diversity”, tokenism etc. First of all, in her own person, by being a “token woman”, or one token woman, on commercial and quango boards. Secondly, by being a Trojan horse for more “diversity” and “inclusion” (etc) in important public offices.
Helen Pitcher, who seems to me to be a useless “diversity” box-ticker, has, inter alia, sat in the seat of judgment over employment appeal cases, over the cases of supposedly defaulting barristers etc, and has even been (and apparently still is) the head of the body which appoints judges, including those at the highest level.
Helen Pitcher is, at time of writing, doing, and of course getting paid for doing, several different jobs simultaneously. She is probably making between half a million and a million pounds a year. For what? Ruining various bodies? Ticking various “diversity” and “anti-racism” boxes? Shoving our society further into the mire?
Look at how Helen Pitcher is clinging on to her CCRC role, presumably in order to maximize the money she gets before she is forced out. At least, that seems to me to be her motivation. Very telling, if so.
This latest scandal, including Helen Pitcher’s “march through the institutions”, is so typical of the way in which things generally have been allowed to develop in the UK in the past 30+ years.
You can see the way the UK is going, at least partly because of stupid and over-promoted women such as Helen Pitcher (and, yes, also men, not infrequently)— straight down.
God knows what state this country will be in in 2029 or 2034, let alone 2054 (which last I shall not have to witness, thank God, not from the Earth plane anyway).
Andrew Malkinson has called the former head of the miscarriage of justice watchdog “shameless” as she resigned from the job saying she had been “scapegoated for entirely legitimate decisions” taken over his case.
Helen Pitcher handed in her resignation as chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) on Tuesday afternoon after learning that an independent panel had concluded by a majority of two to one that she was no longer fit to be chair.
In a letter to the justice secretary she said she felt that she had been chosen as a “scapegoat at an early stage” for the Malkinson case and that “a head had to roll and I was chosen for that role”.
Malkinson said: “Helen Pitcher’s attempt to portray herself as the victim here is shameless.
The Guardian revealed thatPitcher had been in Montenegro promoting her property business in the weeks after Malkinson’s conviction was overturned and the organisation was in crisis after its failure to apologise to him.“
[Guardian]].
“Her property business” (as well as all the rest)?
Helen Pitcher thus managed to blag another 6-7 months’ pay and expenses, and pension contributions, when she should have resigned in mid or early 2024.
“Shameless” indeed, the horrible and avaricious old hag.

– The strike was carried out in 8 waves.
-The attack destroyed fuel depots, inflicted damage on the port, and destroyed a power station north of the port.
– The fire is still burning and is expected to continue for several more days.
– There is a power outage across the entire region.
– The message of the strike is clear: this is not a strike on military targets (which has been done by the coalition over the past 9 months) but an attack on the already struggling Yemeni economy, causing significant economic damage.
– The attack on the port is a direct response to the damage Yemenis have caused to the port of Eilat.
– The message to the rest of the Middle East is also clear: the Bandar Abbas port and the Kharg Island, from where most of Iran’s oil is exported, are in Israel’s sights, as well as the port of Beirut.
– Israel has decided to take off the gloves; this is not a minor strike like those in Iran.
– The Houthis are threatening to retaliate, but it is unclear what the threat entails, as they have already attacked Israel 200 times.”

There are too many egos at stake, and too many sunk costs. What this means is that the pro-Ukrainian true believers won't concede anything has collapsed until Kiev is under Russia's control.
“Ukraine lines are collapsing. After 380 billions of aid pledged to Ukraine since the war begin; 118 billion are direct military aid; many countries literally emptied out entire inventory countless military units to give their weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine is STILL losing grounds everyday. Lost 5 towns in the past 48hrs. The fortress city of Krasnohorivka is falling as we speak; Russia threatens cut the Oskil Frontlines in half with the likely capture of Pishchane. Still not collapsing? This is not collapse of frontlines, then what is?“
I'm no military man, but from a purely common sense perspective, assessing the saleability in terms of effective manpower Ukraine has left, disregarding poorly trained conscripts thrown uselessly into the meat grinder, then the rubber and road meeting indeed appears to draw near.
If anyone has something cheery to say let me know 😅😔. But honestly, it just feels like the baddies keep winning. I really don’t know where this is all heading.
“Back to the UK tomorrow. I’ve never had such dread about Britain. Coming back to London and knowing how unpleasant it’ll be. The demographic changes and feeling that [the UK] is most against Brits. The lack of functional media. The feeling something big has to happen to restore order.“
London is turning into an unaffordable shit-hole with the "enjoyable" parts closed off to an elite minority. Everybody who lives there can see it even if liberal progressives will never accept it bc to do so would shatter their worldview. Charlotte is just saying out loud what we… https://t.co/sqNOr5KBhR
I have not been to London since that brief visit in 2022, and am glad of it. I no longer have the Rolex watches I had 25+ years ago (or want them, or need them, or can afford them) but, if I did, I think that they would not stay on my wrist very long in the London of 2024.
Why can people who should know better not accept the truth that is in front of their eyes? In a word, deluded.
One aspect of London that seems to have radically improved in recent years, though, is the public transport network. New lines, new trains, new ways of travelling around the conurbation. Crossrail/Elizabeth Line for one. I do not speak, however, from personal experience of the new lines, just from what I have read online.
Universities are the Home Office basically, and their policy is open borders – often with taxpayer funds. https://t.co/AxJRdv9XFd
Well over 20 years ago, in 2000, I happened to meet and get to know (somewhat), in Bournemouth, a young blonde woman (20 or so) I first encountered in a photography shop, and who was very proud of her father, vice-Chancellor of (if I remember aright) Lancaster University. She talked about him rather a lot, and thus I learned that (again, if I remember aright) his salary was over £200,000 a year, which would be pretty good even today, by most people’s standards. In fact, the Bank of England online calculator shows that you could almost double that in today’s money. So today— maybe £400,000.
The tertiary educational sector in the UK has been a kind of “rotten borough” for a long time. At least 30 years.
Matt Goodwin
I notice that the “alt-Right” (?) academic and commentator, Matt Goodwin, has retweeted a tweet about the UNRWA by the malicious and publicity-seeking Jew-Zionist org, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. Foolish. The credibility of that malicious cabal is shot; even most pro-Israel Jews are against its activities and behaviour. By retweeting the “CAA”, Goodwin risks his own credibility too.

BBC Question Time is a show so biased, and serving a System agenda, that it would not have been out of place in the Soviet Union. Look at what happened to Nick Griffin about 14 years ago. A complete and rigged lynching.

Labour don't have a serious plan to tackle mass uncontrolled migration.
The 1% of green belt will not be enough if they don't tackle mass uncontrolled migration.
Labour want GDP to grow but GDP per capita will drop & make us all poorer.
Tom Harwood is a horrible little bastard. A typical “knows the price of everything and the value of nothing” careerist.
Yes, they will take “just” 1% of the Green Belt…at first. That covers a year or two of the “need” for new “homes”. A couple of years later, with another 1M+ immigrants to house, guess what? Another 1% (or more) of the Green Belt will be “needed”. And so on…
All that will feed money to housebuilding giants and banks and, down the line, to organizations such as GB News, and to talking heads such as Tom Harwood.
As tweeted there, “Labour” has no, or no effective, plan, because (just like the “Conservatives”) they want more immigration. Evil. Treacherous. Coudenhove-Kalergi puppets.

“The consumption of material resources using the photovoltaic technology is at least 64 times that of nuclear energy. For the production of the solar-grade silicon for one square meter of panel area it requires 3.5 kg of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The weight of concrete, steel and chemicals used, such as acids/ bases, etchants, elemental gases, dopants, photolithographic chemicals etc. are never included. PV technology is more than 7 times more labor intensive than other energy sources. They never include disposing of the worn out panels, recycling copper wiring etc. after solar farms have reached end of life. So when they tell you solar makes back the energy used to build and maintain them in X amount of time, they are actually lying to you.”
Interesting, nicht wahr, that all these supposed imperative “needs”, such as concreting over the English countryside to provide “homes” (mostly for migrant-invaders), or creating massive solar farms in the countryside or, indeed, creating fake “vaccines” and the “need” for this, that, or the other anti-“pandemic” equipment and services, always seem to mean massive profit for greedy landowners, farmers, giant companies, the mass media organizations etc?

Reform GAIN from Conservatives ➡️|🌳
Reform Party candidate Steph Harwood leads the Conservatives by 1.9%!
GE 2024 may be nailed on for Labour, but there is everything still to play for in respect of Reform UK; also, in terms of really wiping out (or not) the totally useless “Conservative” Party. Still 4 days or so to go before the campaign is at an end. About a fifth of eligible voters are still unsure whether to bother voting, and/or where to place their cross.
If Reform UK only gets about 15% or 16% across the board, then that will be underwhelming, though it should sink the Conservative Party. In that event, Reform would probably get only one or two MPs. If, on the other hand, Reform can get about 23%, then it might end up with 50+ MPs, and the map of British politics will have been irrevocably changed.
Talk TV, one of the Murdoch assets, was one of the few msm outlets to report on my free speech trial sentencing hearing. It managed to get the sentence completely wrong, stating that I had been “jailed“!
That interviewee was right. Talk TV/Talk Radio are indeed “clowns“.
The mass media are under (((control))), just as the entire political system is monitored and controlled. Once even a mild-ish small-c conservative party such as Reform UK starts to become popular with the masses, the control starts to become more heavy-handed. It is pretty blatant.

What other party could do this in the Britain of 2024? Brexit Party did it, on a smaller scale, but Farage stabbed it in the back. This time, he obviously plans to take it to the end (Election Day).
Like the end of the 1934 Nuremberg rally, but without a proper social-national party, movement, ideology, or leader.
Still, if it destroys at least half of the “two main parties” scam, and moves the “Overton Window” a bit (or a lot), I am relatively happy…

“In 2015 I met this Palestinian farmer, Abdel-Majeed, on the West Bank. Israeli settlers were attacking him and stealing his land, and I thought the situation was about as bad as it could get. No, it has gotten much worse.
I revisited him last week, during a week-long trip through Israel and the West Bank, and I found that settlers have burned his cars and destroyed his tractor. They have cut down his olive trees and set his sheep shed on fire. They tried to break into his house when his granddaughter was home. Now his wife is arguing that they should give up their home, for fear of being burned alive by settlers.
This is life on the West Bank today. It doesn’t get as much attention as Gaza, but the situation is desperate. And the US is largely AWOL. I know it feels a long way away, but this is central to the Middle East crisis and is one reason I fear the crisis will get worse.

Well, a convincing win over political journalist John Rentoul this week: he scored an embarrassing 1/10 (though all credit to him for having admitted it). I scored 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 7, 9, and 10, and guessed (out of two) the answer to question 8.
“It’s no longer up for debate: Joe Biden has got to go.

Looks as though only one likely alternative presently exists, a Jew called Dean Phillips, a member of the House of Representatives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Phillips.
“Phillips is married and has two daughters from a previous marriage. He is Jewish[43] and was acknowledged by the Minnesota publication The American Jewish World for serving on the board of Temple Israel in Minneapolis.
In the primaries held so far, Biden got 100% of the delegates and 83.4% of the popular vote (Phillips got 7% of the popular vote). Phillips is not even on the ballot of several state primaries.

‘We need more guns, more equipment, but, most of all, more men.’ Dispatch from the Kupiansk frontline in Ukraine.”
[Daily Mail]
The msm in the UK, USA etc can no longer conceal the military crisis overwhelming the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev. The military chief, Zaluzhny, has been replaced, and the ranks of the Kiev-regime forces are being thinned by both battlefield casualties and the unwillingness of both Ukrainian men and foreign volunteers and mercenaries to serve.
The foreigners have mostly been killed, captured, or have returned home, while Ukrainian men in very large numbers are avoiding the draft, either by remaining in foreign countries or by keeping their heads down in Ukraine itself. The Kiev regime employs brutal press-gangs to capture draft-evaders. One has to ask, though, whether people forced to join up under violent duress are going to be of much use in the field.
Strategically, as noted on the blog for 2 years now, Russia cannot lose this conflict, and will not. Tactically, both sides have encountered problems, but in terms of both manpower and arms, Russia now has the edge, very obviously.
I would not rule out a large-scale Russian offensive in 2024, though it may be that Putin will prefer to see what happens politically in the USA first. The US Presidential Election is in November 2024.
“Russian troops are attacking a town in east Ukraine from all directions, and the situation is increasingly difficult for Ukrainian troops defending the town, its mayor said on Thursday.
“The enemy is pressuring from all directions. They are storming with very numerous forces,” Avdiivka mayor Vitaliy Barabash said in televised comments, describing the situation as “very difficult and hot”.“
The simple truth. Without EU, UK, and US arms and ammo, the Kiev regime will fall back, not only from the Donbass front, but fall back to Kiev, and quite likely further, to somewhere between Kiev and Lvov.
Likewise, Ukraine’s economy is on (Western) life-support.
Demographically, the population numbers are in freefall. 500,000 dead on or around the battlefields, huge numbers in foreign countries, and few children being born.
In short, as an independent state (failed state, fake state), Ukraine has no future.

This is someone who’s been given a role as one of the people who decides the laws & policies of this country.
Nobody knows who Charlotte Owen is, what she’s done, and WHY she’s been elevated to the Lords.
— EAT FLAG 🏳️🌈🏴🏴☠️🇪🇺🏳️⚧️🏁 (@AsenathMagic) February 10, 2024
Either Charlotte Owen is related to “Boris” Johnson (the most likely possibility), or he was having some kind of affair with her; there is a third possibility, i.e. that she somehow knows something very seriously discreditable about Johnson.
The last possibility seems unlikely. After all, Johnson is so discredited anyway that it would be hard to think of a concealed fact that would make blackmail or implied blackmail sufficiently threatening.
Still, there it is— an office gopher in her twenties now “elevated” to the House of Lords. Our whole system of government is rotten to the core.
“Politician“? Of course, we are talking about the Plaid Cymru fake “nationalist” joke-party, but even so…
“Carmen Ria Smith (born c. 1996/97) is a Plaid Cymru political assistant. In February 2024, it was announced Smith would be appointed to the House of Lords.
Smith was nominated to the peerage by Plaid Cymru after Dafydd Wigley announced he planned to retire in 2024.[2] This will keep the number of Plaid Cymru life peers as one.”
[Wikipedia]
A member of the Lords at 27, having been an office gopher for 1-2 years, and a lobbyist for a wind-turbine company for another 1-2 years. “Chief of Staff“? The Plaid group in the Senedd (Welsh Assembly) consists of only 12 people!
Carmen Smith was evidently born under a lucky star, and really should buy some lottery tickets. £350+ per day, plus extra monies etc, at age 27. For life, in effect. Incredible.
Ah…
On the day Carmen Smith takes her seat in the lords, a timely reminder of how she got there without consent of party members. Are @Plaid_Cymru now a party run by a few that runs roughshod over their members wishes? Shocking duplicity if so! https://t.co/romBSnEfKA
“A row has broken out in Plaid Cymru after an internal election for nominees to the House of Lords saw a lobbyist for a controversial wind power company elevated to first place on the list – even though she was decisively beaten in a members’ vote by former MP Elfyn Llwyd.
Although the voting figures haven’t been disclosed, Nation.Cymru understands that Carmen Smith, 27, who works for Bute Energy, received around 70 votes while Mr Llwyd got about 180 votes. A third candidate – longstanding party member Ann Griffith – secured around 40 votes.
A longstanding Plaid Cymru member contacted Nation.Cymru and said: “This is disgraceful. I don’t know the actual result of the vote but I would have thought that Elfyn was way out in front. The fact that the National Exec has imposed a woman on top of the list was not explained at any time in the introduction to the virtual hustings that I attended last week.”
A senior party source told us: “This all stems from a decision by the NEC to make sure that a woman was given top position, regardless of how many votes were cast. It’s quite farcical that Elfyn Llwyd was way in the lead, yet came second. It’s surely a travesty of democracy. He has a wealth of Parliamentary experience, while Carmen hasn’t even been elected as a councillor.“

I wonder whether that might not be judicially reviewable. Seems (on the facts as presented) very lacking in transparency, at the very least.
