Gorton and Denton by-election result
Well, there it is. It seems that a considerable proportion of the Green votes may have been tainted by coercive “family voting” by Pakistanis (12% at polling stations, and an unknown number via postal voting), but even that might not have changed the result.
Social media is already alive with idiotic white “me-too” type anti-Reform tweeters etc, all saying what a humiliation this has been for Reform and for Matt Goodwin personally. Really? Reform doubled its percentage share of the vote since 2024, less than 2 years ago. True, the Greens tripled their 2024 vote, but Labour halved their share.
The real story here is that the traditional “mainstream” parties have all been rejected by the voters, both white and non-white.
Labour lost a seat, and in an area, which has been a Labour stronghold throughout living memory. Labour’s vote-share fell from 50.8% in 2024 to exactly half of that, 25.4%, at the by-election.
The Conservative Party scored 7.9% in 2024, but now only 1.9%.
The LibDems scored 3.8% in 2024, but only 1.8% this time.
Contrary to what the pseudo-“Green” supporters on social media are saying, the big loser at Gorton and Denton was not Reform but the Labour Party.
Gorton and Denton was only 440th on the Reform UK target list, and/but was considered a very safe Labour seat.
Fairly disastrous for Labour. If Labour cannot win, or even come second, in a place like that, where can it win?
As for Reform, well…had it been social-national, rather than nlibertarian fake “conservative”-nationalist (if “nationalist” at all), if it were not so pro-finance capitalist, not so very pro-Jew, pro-Israel, not so hostile (Tice and Farage) to employed persons and to people cheated out of property-ownership (and so having to rent from the likes of Tice), it might have won handsomely in this by-election.
The new Green Party MP, Hannah Spencer, looks to me like both a fake and a freak.
I think that head-counting “democracy” of this sort is washed-up in the UK. It just does not work in a so-called “multicultural society”.
As for Starmer-stein, and as blogged previously, I doubt he will resign. He likes the status and money and the rest too much. He loves to parade, albeit comically, on the world stage, and play the “world statesman”, however implausibly. He will cling on until people stamp on his fingers.
The other big loser out of the by-election might be the pathetic Corbyn/Sultana “Your Party”, which did not contest the seat, but has now been totally overshadowed and made irrelevant by the Green triumph.
Well, this week another narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul— 4/10, as against Rentoul’s 3/10.
I knew the answers to questions 1, 4, 7, and 9. I could not remember the answer to question 6, did not think long enough to get question 3, and had no idea about the most of the others; question 5 has several possible answers (though one stands out, I now know); the instrument I guessed was one of the (4 or 5) musical instruments Marie Antoinette played, though not the one wanted by the quizmaster, it seems, so I have not awarded myself that one.
A few extra thoughts about Mandelson, Epstein, and the whole Jew-lobby scandal at and around Starmer-stein’s government
First thought: saw Gordon Brown on TV news lamenting about it all, and excoriating Mandelson. Well, OK, but you, Brown, you loony and hypocrite, knew all about his general sleaziness, his sexual proclivities, his activities in London youth clubs etc, going back as far as the 1970s, and his willingness to cheat and scheme to make money, as with his mortgage and loan and property activities in the late 1990s, which activities in fact attracted the attention of the police at the time, until their investigation was interfered with, and they were warned off.
Second thought: how useless is MI5, that they seem either to have been unaware of the Mandelson and Epstein connection or, far more likely, were unwilling to rock the political boat? Same goes for SIS, incidentally.
Third thought: so Jews conspired to make money illicitly? Quelle surprise… oh, no, wait…

Leonardo da Vinci invented the self supporting bridge between 1485-1487
Amazing. It took humanity unknown ages, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to come up with that. Now it is known, it must not be forgotten.
Yes. The person who should tackle corruption in Westminster is the person who was told by Peter Mandelson "I barely knew Epstein" and concluded "I have no reason to disbelieve this man"… https://t.co/v0KZ3AbX5n
Some might include Mandela, but he was never really a lawyer, just a “gopher” in a law firm for a while, until awarded a law degree on the nod while a celebrity prisoner in the 1980s, and aged about 70. He had failed his law degree three times in the late 1940s, when about 30 years old.
As for Starmer-stein, Matt Goodwin and Reform UK must be loving this heady mixture of cluelessness and corruption in the present fake “Labour” government. Only 17 days until the Gorton and Denton by-election.
I have campaigned solidly every day, 3 times a day, for about two weeks and where I've seen any of them I've met more Green voters on the doors than Labour https://t.co/u4fIhYMCUT
I blogged previously that all three leading contenders might score around 30%, leading to a very close result. Were Labour to win by a small margin, that would still be a negative sign, because Labour scored 50.8% there only last year.
Anti-Reform tactical voters will have to decide which party is more likely to be able to defeat Reform. Either Labour or the Greens. Polls presently put Labour ahead of the Greens, but that may not reflect feeling among those actually going to vote.
Reform is still slightly ahead in the opinion polling at Gorton and Denton, but it is hard to say where the voters will be by 26 February, the polling day. I begin to think that the Labour vote might collapse, by reason of abstention as much as via defection. That might or not boost the Green vote, but would probably lead to a Reform triumph.
I blogged about Carns yesterday. Someone who would go down well with the public, on first showing, and because of his background, but who is an unknown quantity ideologically.

[“I was born in Woking, Surrey, less than a mile from the site of the Shah Jahan mosque, the first built in Britain. Growing up in Woking my friends and I soon learnt that the Pakistani community acted differently to us. They operated like a clan, like a gang. If you crossed one, you would find a dozen brothers and cousins waiting for you outside the school gates. As English people who had small, quite independent families, this clan loyalty and mindset was nearly impossible to contend with. ‘Turn the other cheek’ my mother used to say. Never easy though when you’ve seen your friend have his teeth kicked in by a mob for a minor instance of perceived disrespect. We used to play pool at the Planets in Woking town centre after school, however it wasn’t long before this was taken over by the Pakistani clans from Maybury. They’d pelt us with pool balls and intimidate us to leave. It was their territory now. So spare me your victimhood @sajidjavid.”]

Ah. Just what I wondered about earlier in the day.
Starmer-stein is a real office-politics tiger, isn’t he? Useless at anything else.
I see many tweets and other online comments about the supposed “Ukrainian rent boys”, their alleged connection with Starmer-stein, and their delayed trials. I wonder what might be the truth about all that…
Reform is the only party that is standing up for women & girls
No men in women’s spaces No unvetted migrant boats No HMOs in our communities No to Labour ignoring rape gangs
The majority of these countries have strict travel warnings regarding women solo travelling, yet our government seems to think these immigrants’ rapey impulses will disappear once they step foot onto our “magic” soil??
…and the same [kind of] police pretend to be terribly shocked when tasked with bothering social-national bloggers such as myself, or satirical singers such as Alison Chabloz, or public speakers such as Jez Turner (etc).
One begins to wonder whether there is much point in even having a police force of the kind the UK now has. Like so many long-established UK institutions (Monarchy, the Bar, the Church of England, the ancient universities, SIS, MI5, Parliament, the NHS etc), the police need “a revaluation of all values“.
Funnily enough, this is very similar to one of Hitler’s policies that was classed as “far right eugenics” at school in history lessons…

The Russians were fully aware of Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein. But didn’t feel the need to exploit it. According to another Russian official “Our relationship with [Mandelson] was very close, and was working well on a commission basis. There was no need to push him”.
The Jew Mandelson “very greedy” and “always looking for money“? Well, who would have thought it?

[“Iran has prepared a large-scale plan to counter the US armed forces and pressure on the global economy. According to the Tasnim agency affiliated with the IRGC, within a few hours after a possible US attack, Iran will launch massive strikes with ballistic missiles and drones on US military facilities throughout the region, expanding the conflict zone beyond its borders.
Tehran also relies on its cyberwar capabilities – attacks on US logistics, disruptions in the command and control system, and creating chaos among countries hosting American forces. The IRGC’s naval forces have been practicing the “swarm” tactic – attacks by small boats equipped with missiles and torpedoes to overload and suppress large warships. Blocking the Strait of Hormuz could lead to an increase in oil prices above $200 per barrel, which would cause serious damage to the global economy and increase pressure on Washington.
Hossein Shariatmadari stated that Iran could block the passage of American, French, British, and German ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s strategic goal is to create an unstable multi-front confrontation for the US, forcing American forces to simultaneously face pressure in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and potentially in Syria, while protecting its allies in the Persian Gulf and ensuring the safety of sea routes.“]
Were I the Iranian leadership, I should think that all Iran’s missiles should be targeted on Israel, focussing on a few main targets— Dimona, Ben-Gurion Airport, central Tel Aviv and affluent areas in that region, such as Ra’anana and Herzliya.
Was just thinking about Labour’s crazed “plan” to build what they are pleased to describe as “new towns”, but are really just going to be (if ever built) huge soulless housing tracts, with few amenities, roads, or anything else, certainly without the true cultural institutions and green spaces of a real (and decent) town or city. Effectively, tract housing for migrant-invaders, and/or the offspring of non-Europeans, or those of single white or other women impregnated by non-Europeans.
Destruction of landscapes, of trees, animals, and birds etc, and for what? Tracts of hutches for useless parasites and enemies.
Ghastly. Evil.

Further thoughts about the Labour Party Conference 2025
I have not watched any TV coverage, but from what little I have seen via Twitter/X, the audience seems to be maybe 500 people, mostly middle-aged and elderly. The System parties all have fairly elderly memberships, and Labour apparently has a larger membership than the other two, but it is pretty clear that all three are dying.
Starmer is a near-cretin. How did he ever become Director of Public Prosecutions? I do not say “…and a barrister” because my opinion of many of my once-fellow barristers is not terribly high in any case.
It is ‘relatively’ small – relative to the scale of overall immigration.
Quite. The Labour enemies of the people may think, or pretend to think, that 500-2,000 invaders per day is small, but over a year, it still adds up to about 180,000-750,000 per year. Every year. To that ~300,000 must be added about a million coming in “legally”, and then of course untold numbers of births to non-white mothers and to white mothers impregnated by non-whites.
At the same time, about 100,000-200,000 real British people are fleeing (and I think that is the right term) to anywhere which promises (or seems to promise) a basically white-European-style life— Australia, New Zealand etc. In other words, the UK population changes hugely every year now, because about 1,500,000 (mostly) non-whites come in, and about 200,000 British people leave for good.
Whoa
A new “mega small boat” just brought 125 illegal migrants into Britain
This crisis is about to get a whole lot worse … ⬇️
Is it too “dystopian” to imagine a scenario in which migrant-invaders, like other invaders, are shot on the beaches by military forces? Under System-party governments, I suppose it is…
Reform last week = migrants will have to contribute economically, speak English, not live on welfare and have a clean criminal record
Labour: “this is racist”
Labour today: migrants will have to contribute economically, speak English, not live on welfare, have a clean criminal…
Shabana Mahmood will today say migrants in the UK will have to volunteer, have a “spotless” criminal record, speak English to a high standard and be a net contributor to stay in the UK
In other words, all the things Keir Starmer said, only yesterday, “are racist” 🤡
So speaks yet another Labour Friends of Israel drone, Rachel “from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves, an expenses cheat and fraudster, as well as enemy of the British people.
Britain Predicts | Gorton and Denton, how the seat would vote in an election today:
That was, on different boundaries, the one-time Westminster seat called Manchester Gorton, which was held for over a decade (1955-1967) by the crypto-Communist and probable NKVD/KGB agent Konni Zilliacus [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konni_Zilliacus], whose widow (they were never officially married) I met a few times when I lived in the Little Venice area of London in the 1980s and early 1990s. Zilliacus had also been MP for Gateshead (1945-1951). See also: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-jan-zilliacus-1097376.html.
If these are the terms pretty much the entire population of Afghanistan could come here. 😐🤦♂️
Exactly. In fact, in principle, in terms of Britain’s so-called “obligations”, drafted after 1945 in a totally different world, as many as 800 MILLION non-Europeans could apply to live in the UK and with a quite likely chance of official/legal approval. Madness.
Of course, if even a tenth of that number came here, the present society would collapse. Even at present, the structures of society are showing signs of strain and fatigue.

Goodwin is right. The Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby had my Twitter account “suspended”, i.e. I was expelled, in 2018. That was after about 7-8 years. Prior to my getting expelled, my Twitter account was subject to shadowbanning etc, and the number of Twitter “followers” was artificially limited to 3,000.
Oddly enough, though, my finally getting expelled from Twitter, after a concerted campaign of “complaint” by a pack of Jews (who admitted it later; some were crowing about it), may have saved me from getting prosecuted for “incitement to racial hatred” around 2018 or 2019, because, having expelled me, Twitter had no record of my tweets since about 2010 (which might otherwise have formed some kind of cobbled-together “evidence” admissible in court).
In other words, “they” shot themselves in the foot, as “they” often do.
If I wanted to do so, I could now recover my Twitter, now “X”, account, and would probably have about 50,000 followers, but Twitter/X is largely a waste of time from the serious political point of view (though I find it useful in terms of material for the blog).
“Otto English” continues (and finishes) with this:
I notice that the similar nuisances and would-be “antifascist” radicals who have left Twitter/X because they cannot handle divergent views, have mostly gone to “Blue Sky Social” to die. Unpleasant ignoramuses such as Mike Stuchbery, who had nearly 80,000 “followers” on Twitter/X, but now has only 2,800 on Blue Sky, and has all but given up, having posted only 3 times on Blue Sky in the past month.
More about Stuchbery, who was always threatening to sue me and various others in libel, below. Never did sue me, of course. A man of straw, posing as “historian”, “journalist”, “commentator” etc.
See also (originally from 2019 but frequently updated):
Stuchbery used to “hang out” online with a woman called Roanna, a fake witch based near Chesterfield, Derbyshire. They both made common cause with a crazed old Jewish woman in North London who was always inventing false accusations about me (and others) and bothering the police with them.
Stuchbery and Roanna the “witch”, with a Pakistani one-man backroom solicitor, managed to get mugs to donate about £12,000 to “sue Tommy Robinson”, but “Robinson” never was sued by them, and the money just…disappeared…
That was some years ago. Stuchbery was even then living in Germany, and Roanna then changed her Twitter/X account to be non-political, then locked it and moved to Blue Sky, where her 879 Twitter/X followers have become 379 Blue Sky followers (she now posts about art and dogs).
As to Stuchbery, now about 46 or 47, he must be on better medication these days, thanks to German healthcare. He no longer posts about how people should have their skulls cracked open etc.
The fact is that the self-describing “Left” has given up the idea of revolution or even reform, and now concentrates only on “deplatforming” “fascists” (in their description) and “neo-Nazis” (ditto), and even that is not working (is it, “Otto”?).

Not just TV news reports, but reports leading the TV news.
This seems to me like overkill, really. After all, terrible as the crash was, killing 16 people, it was 2 days ago, no-one is still trapped or requiring rescue, plenty of major news is happening elsewhere and, in the end, this did not even happen in the UK. A straightforward crash incident, which happened in seconds, or a few minutes, which was a one-off incident, and the causes of which will no doubt be investigated (very likely a cable problem, possibly metal fatigue, and insufficient maintenance). Yet the BBC and Sky News still have reporters on the scene. Why? Enough.
Whatever the exact rights and wrongs of Angela Rayner’s (latest) property purchase, the background to the matter was the “fill your boots” mentality with which this Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment is suffused.
It became known a year ago that Angela Rayner had accepted gifts of clothes, I think also cash donations, and free trips to noisy vulgar clubs in Ibiza, the appalling nightclub, drink, and drugs island. Not that she was alone in accepting “freebies”. Her boss, Starmer-stein, had accepted clothes for himself and his Jewish wife, and even free eye-glasses!
Angela Rayner also postponed, on rather spurious grounds, some of the previously-scheduled 2025 UK local elections, which postponements—whatever the reasons for postponement— looked bad at a time when Labour was already losing ground greatly to Reform UK.
The postponed local elections will now not take place until May 2026. Both Labour and Conservative parties must be dreading them.
That whole “fill your boots” or “make hay while the sun is shining” mentality, which pervades Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel cabal, was also a major factor putting paid to the Conservative Party’s electoral chances in 2024, after years of crony-corruption under (mainly) “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss (briefly, in her 49 days as PM), and the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.
So what now for Angela Rayner? She had been puffed as the successor to Starmer. Perhaps, though that seems far less likely now, bearing in mind the public perception of her. Some may think her a greedy, moneygrasping, “typical MP”; others say “it was not her fault, because she failed to take obvious steps to avoid the situation which arose“. Well, so not dishonest, simply careless and/or clueless? Not a very good impression either way.
In any case, Labour is now facing a really major challenge from Reform UK, which is really just the public’s proxy method for “getting rid of both Lab and Con“. The idea that Angela Rayner might be the next Prime Minister always seemed to me unlikely to happen, and now seems a very remote possibility indeed.
As to Rayner herself, the resignation will hit her rather hard financially. Loss of her Government position means that her salary is halved, she now being left with “only” the (just under) £94,000 p.a. MP salary (and attendant expenses). She now also loses whatever access she may have had to the country houses used on weekends by Government ministers. There are smaller hits as well, such as loss of the government cars and drivers that ferry ministers around.
Wider political fallout? Well, just another hit that Starmer could have done without. The Reform annual conference is taking place now, and Angela Rayner may be good ammunition for Farage. Also, the news will mute any criticism of Reform people for whatever they may say during the conference.
In any case, people are intending to vote Reform to stamp on Lab and Con, so anything negative in the msm about Farage and Reform will not, I think, have much effect, because people already know that Farage and especially his cohorts are not the best and brightest. That makes little difference to how people are intending to vote.
“Huge tracts of precious riverside habitats for water voles and other wildlife in England are being lost as they are not covered by post-Brexit farming rules, campaigners warn.
New analysis by the Wildlife Trusts found more than 400square km of riverside habitat in England may have been lost since the UK left the EU in 2020.
Under the common agricultural policy (CAP), which subsidised farming when the UK was in the bloc, farmers had to keep a 2-metre buffer between their fields and the rivers. But with the UK’s exit from the CAP, farmers may try to increase their income by ploughing to the edge of their field – an area that, at present, is unprofitable for them.
As well as being a critical habitat for wildlife, waterway banks are home to plants that filter pollution from the water.“
[Guardian]
As regular readers of the blog know, I am not very pleased about the farming lobby. Not all farmers are greedy, moneygrasping, environmentally-destructive nuisances, but many are.
I remember that on TV from the early 1960s, when I was about 5 or 6 years old.
For me, the point is not that Nadine Dorries is an idiotic woman, an expenses-blodger and outright fraud, or that “Boris”-idiot and Liz Truss are nominally (and only nominally) better-educated versions of the same brainless type, but that the whole political system we now have in the UK promotes such cretins, selects them as candidates etc.
Labour's re-election chances blown out of the water by a triple resignation?
My view is that the Reform candidates are relatively unpolished, most of them, so the relative absence of the bright lights of msm publicity and exposure might actually help Reform. That may sound cynical, but the old System parties are just waiting for Farage’s candidates to slip on banana skins.

Yvette Cooper should leave the Home Office. She has been utterly incompetent. The small boats crisis, the use of asylum hotels, the resistance to a rape gang inquiry, the chaos, it all got worse under her watch.
Her incompetence is now going to be transferred to the Foreign Office.

Good grief. Lammy is a total ignoramus. As Foreign Secretary (and in every other role, including that of MP) he has been a bad joke. Now his head is on the stick of “Deputy Prime Minister”. Britain has become a joke country.
In any case, that (((Zeffman))) character is wrong. The new “Lord Chancellor” is ignorant black, David Lammy, who takes over from equally ignorant Shabana Mahmood. Both of them together were only at the practising Bar for a very short time. Not really qualified for the office.

It has been said before on the blog, but…that, believe it or not, is our “Deputy Prime Minister”, a thick-as-two-short-planks woman with no cultural or intellectual background to speak of, and whose leisure pursuits (preferably paid for by others) include noisy brainless “clubs” in Ibiza, “vaping”, being tattooed (it appears), and God-knows-what else.
Sometimes even I find it hard to believe how far this country has fallen.
Looking at Twitter/X, it seems that many are assuming that Angela Rayner will replace Starmer as Labour Party leader eventually. Really? I have no time for Starmer-stein, but…Angela Rayner? Well, hopefully, Labour is going down to historic defeat in a few years, so the “Deputy Prime Minister” will never actually occupy 10, Downing Street.
On the wider picture, I now find this country one that, increasingly, I do not recognize, and filled with the sort of people with whom I have nothing at all in common beyond breathing and other core necessities.

Trump's DOJ has transferred a woman out of the facility with Ghislaine Maxwell after she criticized her being there as a sex offender in an interview. The woman has been sent to another facility with violent offenders. You can't criticize Trump's sex offender friends now. pic.twitter.com/JvxR6GxT5F
Beyond the surface chatter about sex trafficking etc, there is of course the involvement of one or more elements of Israeli Intelligence with the Jew Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell is half-Jew, and her father is said to have been the main MOSSAD agent in Europe (and was eventually buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, apparently a signal honour, though Ghislaine Maxwell is said to believe that MOSSAD killed her horrible father after he outlived his usefulness): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Maxwell#Mossad_allegations;_Vanunu_case.

The Notting Hill Carnival, born as a tiny entity in 1966, and which still only involved 500 participants or so in the early 1970s, has become a monster. It is actually horrible.
I went once, out of curiosity. That would have been sometime in the early to mid 1980s, but I forget which exact year. My impressions: unpleasant and unpleasantly loud amplified “music” of some sort; costumed performers dancing on the back of trucks; nowhere to get a break from it, or the hot sun; pressing crowds, mostly though not entirely blacks. I recall buying a small bottle of not very pleasant palm wine for about twice what you might expect. I also recall having to walk all the way back to Little Venice because the Underground stations for miles around were shut for safety reasons, and there were of course no buses or taxis anywhere.
Never again.
In fact, most English people, including most local residents and business owners, would like to bin the Notting Hill Carnival, but the authorities are aware that that would cause black riots which would probably devastate half of London, so “Carnival”, attended now by 2 million from all over the country and beyond, still happens, tolerated not out of choice but because the authorities and English people are effectively blackmailed. A sort of parallel or metaphor for the unenthusiastic toleration of non-white populations in general in this country.
Incidentally, the lady tweeting above knows Notting Hill and surrounding areas rather well, and usually supports mass immigration. I suppose it is different when you yourself, or your friends and family, are affected…

No, you don’t. It is a question of a febrile surrounding atmosphere, and “a nod and a wink”, and/or legal careerists doing what they presumed was “expected” of them.
You see this time and again in England. For example, the heavy sentencing of those convicted of “antisemitic”-related offences: Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch).
The same is true of the msm, when “antisemitism” is discussed or, rather, not discussed but pro-Jew-Zionism used as an a priori viewpoint.
Look at what happened during the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic. Police, courts, lawyers, doctors, msm talking heads and scribblers, all on the same propaganda page.
Keir Starmer did not openly “direct” heavy-handed policing and subsequent sentencing last year, though he came pretty close to that in his public utterings. No, we are talking about lawyers and judges apprehending what the System (which employs them) wants.
Very English….the same was the case in my free speech trials, both in the magistrates’ court (2023-2024) and before the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal (2016).

I rarely support Allison Pearson, a foolish scribbler tied-in with the Jew-Zionist extremists, but she is basically correct here.
Because Starmer politicalised the justice system in his national TV address. And the judiciary bowed to it. The government and judiciary are meant to be independent of each other but Starmer's statement on TV changed that. Not sure why Dan doesn't realise that

What? And hand them all refugee status to release them fully into our society? So you can put together some BS press release and say you've emptied the hotels?
So hundreds of millions will now be spent on “processing” the cases. About 80% will be rubberstamped OK. The untermenschen will then be released into “the community”, i.e. given free accommodation (probably ahead of most English/British people), social security/”welfare” monies, and will then be a permanent millstone around the necks of the people. Many cannot even speak English to a rudimentary level, most have no qualifications of any sort, most cannot drive legally. What jobs can they do? Few, even if they want to, which most do not.
These “asylum-seekers” (or grantees, once approved) will be, at best, permanent parasites here. Some may also do cash-in-hand work such as illegal taxi-driving, pizza delivery etc. Quite a few will take part in various forms of criminal activity. A (relative) few will be active terrorists.

The fanatical Jew-Zionists cannot see that, because their whole world-view is toxic, poisonous, self-interested.
The same thing can be seen, for example, when the Israeli planes bomb a hospital in Gaza or elsewhere, killing and horribly wounding hundreds of women and children, and the Jew-Zionist fanatics find out that a Hamas or Hezbollah platoon (or whatever) was hiding in a basement of that hospital and say “see, we were justified in bombing the hospital!“…
Someone once said, “they are the simulacrum of the human“. Best description I have ever encountered.
“Britain has still to make the decision as to whether it wants to be an advanced, European-race, high-IQ, high-tech, environmentally-aware country, or a multikulti black-brown and mixed-race mess, a “Congo-North” if you like, with ever-declining standards, pay, “welfare”, environment and culture.”
“Thousands of people left in limbo since plans to deport them to Rwanda were axed will now have their asylum claims processed in the UK, Labour has confirmed.
More than 5,000 asylum seekers were on an initial list drawn up by the previous government to be sent to Rwanda under a deal between the two countries.
One of the first acts of the Labour government was to scrap the Rwanda scheme, resulting in many of the 5,700 people the Kigali administration had agreed to accept having their claims processed in the UK asylum system. Some subsequently received decisions on their claims but it is estimated that thousands have remained in limbo.”
[Guardian]
As predicted on this blog, the Keir Starmer-stein “Labour” (Labour Friends of Israel) misgovernment is “solving” the problem by simply rubberstamping the applications of the migrant invaders.
Even under the fake “Conservatives”, at least 80% of the applications were “processed” leading to acceptance. In other words, over 80% were being allowed to stay, meaning that they then get rights to housing, social security/”welfare” payments, and all other benefits available to the actual British population.
This latest news is, of course, the tip of the iceberg. It is probably correct to say that over 90% of migrant-invaders are now being allowed to stay in the UK, with most of the rest also in effect allowed to stay by reason of not being removed from this country. In fact, the few actually leaving are almost all doing so voluntarily, and there are very few of them.
The next step will be, as I also predicted, “processing” invaders before they even get on those rubber boats. They will then enter the UK superficially “legally”, along with the enormous number of other “legal” migrants (migrant-invaders). Between half a million and one and a half million a year.

Pity that, at that time, the courts (and the Government, and the news media, especially idiots such as Piers Morgan) were driven by panic and by “me-too” thinking or non-thinking.
As I predicted on the blog, the stupid shutdown of the economy and society because of a virus which was actually killing almost no-one would damage the UK for many years, and so it has transpired.

Some thoughts around the Trump tariffs etc
Assuming that the tariff wars continue and even escalate, what will result?
To my mind, the basic or overarching result will be that trade between the USA and the worst-hit other states will fall away, fall off, and then become trade among those tariff-hit states. China will deal more with Russia, India, Japan, European (including EU) states etc.
It is said that diplomacy has three main branches: classical or straight diplomacy (diplomats, intergovernmental contacts, military pacts etc), economic “diplomacy” (trade and trading incidents, eg tariffs, sanctions etc), and cultural “diplomacy” (such as that which used to exist between the Soviet Union and the West, via such bodies as the UK Foreign Office-funded G.B.-U.S.S.R. Association, to which I myself belonged in the 1980s).
Already, we can see that Russia is gradually forming a trade axis with a core group (China, North Korea, Iran) and a wider outer group (India, and numerous other states across the world). Now, the American or Trump tariffs will create a different bloc of tariff-hit states trading inter se and interpenetrating that first bloc. A kind of Venn diagram.
I can only assume that those advising Trump have it in mind to rebuild American industry and commerce by choking off the supply of foreign goods and maybe also services entering the United States, thus stimulating domestic production. That might work, though at the cost of driving up prices in many cases. However, there would obviously be consequential effects, in that retaliatory tariffs would hit American industry and commerce. China is leading the way in that regard.
The ultimate effects are still unknown. Of course, economic warfare can result in real warfare, and that has been seen time and again, as with the US-Japan situation prior to 1941.
It is not unlikely that the next major war will be between the USA and China.

“Each year, thousands of people in England and Wales are accused of crimes for which they are later acquitted. While their names may be cleared, they are often left emotionally and financially devastated – as Brian Buckle, who was wrongfully convicted of sexually abusing a child, discovered first-hand.
Rebecca Whitehurst, 47, from Greater Manchester had to find tens of thousands of pounds to pay for her defence after a pupil at the school where she taught made claims that they had engaged in sexual activity and exchanged inappropriate messages.
“Financially, it’s been the best part of £50,000,” she says. Rebecca adds that after she was found not guilty, she was awarded costs – but at the legal aid rate, which is much lower than the expense of instructing a defence barrister privately.“

“Sir Keir Starmer will be ousted as Prime Minister within a year, an exclusive poll for The Mail on Sunday has predicted – with furious voters attacking his poor handling of the economy, the NHS, immigration and the cost-of-living crisis.
Nearly a third of all Britons polled in the ‘state of the nation’ survey expect the Labour leader to last another year at most, with more than two thirds (68 per cent) saying he is doing ‘badly’, just six months into the job.
And in news that will worry both Labour and the Conservatives, one in five voters thinks that Nigel Farage will be Britain’s next Prime Minister.
Last night, one Labour MP said privately: ‘If this poll doesn’t ring alarm bells in No10, then we really are doomed.
‘Sadly, it confirms what I and other Labour colleagues are now finding on the doorstep.
‘There never was much support for Keir. But after a catalogue of blunders – from scrapping winter fuel payments to hiking taxes – what little support there was for the Prime Minister has collapsed‘.
The exclusive Deltapoll survey reveals that 69 per cent think the country is heading in the wrong direction, with the cost-of-living crisis and the state of the NHS topping the list of concerns.“

“Patients whose health has been ravaged after taking Covid-19 vaccines are calling for more support as the Government faces paying out tens of millions of pounds in damages.
Almost 17,000 claims for disability damages have now been submitted after new information emerged about the potential risks including blood clots.
...more people are coming forward to report that have suffered a severe impact, with some linking their vaccines to major problems such as blood cancer, myasthenia gravis and heart disorders.
Almost all of these payments were related to the AstraZeneca vaccine Vaxrevia which triggered a blood clotting complication so rare it was missed in original clinical trials.
That vaccine was once heralded as a ‘triumph for British science’ but came under increasing scrutiny for a very rare complication that causes blood clots and low blood platelet counts.
AstraZeneca’s withdrawal comes months after admitting in legal documents its jab can cause thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), also known as VITT.“

I have myself seen examples, though I did not, of course, allow myself to be fooled into taking any of the System’s “vaccine” injections.
Talking point
Look at that. It is admitted that 3.6M or more immigrants have arrived even since “free movement” within the EU ended! That was in December 2020, so that number have arrived in only 4 years! In rough terms, a million a year. Unsustainable. Catastrophic.
“Net” immigration “only 2.3M (or more, in fact more) in about the same time period, but what that means, mainly, is that about 100,000-200,000 (real) British have left every year, trying to get to places such as Australia or New Zealand, or retiring to Spain and other countries. Also, many of the more useful/skilled EU nationals have left.
Incidentally, those Brits going overseas are mostly either genuinely skilled or qualified persons, or have capital and intend to open small businesses, or (and/or) are retirees, who bring money into the countries where they settle, and mostly do not constitute a drain on resources. Quite different to most of the migrant-invaders coming to the UK, who are mostly poor, unqualified, unskilled, and who are a huge drain on resources of every kind, from shelter and housing, through education, hospitals and GP services, to police services (many migrants are petty or not so petty criminals) etc; all that and right through to alien hostiles who may be terroristic.
As to Brexit as a whole, it was deliberately sabotaged.

I once knew someone whose ex-boyfriend, English and a Cambridge graduate, worked for the World Bank. That young man was sent to live in Yemen (at that time divided into two; I am not sure but think this would have been South Yemen). That would have been in the mid/late 1970s. The young man lived in fairly basic hotel accommodation for the year in which he was collecting and collating economic statistics in Yemen. At the end of the year, those would be the raw material for a report which would become an official World Bank report and the basis for economic help to that Yemeni state.
This was, of course, in pre-Internet days, and the statistics gathered in were all on paper in his hotel room. No copies, and there was no way, in the absence of an office, to relay any but the most basic information to World Bank HQ in Washington D.C.
At the end of the year, that young World Bank employee was ready to depart, carrying with him all the papers and files etc. It was at that point when a water pipe in his room developed a bad leak while he was out. The room was flooded, and most of the material destroyed.
On return to Washington, the young man sat in his office for a couple of weeks, agonizing about what to do. Eventually, a senior colleague came in and asked him what the problem was. He confessed. The senior colleague helped him to cobble together a report that looked plausible, though most of the statistics had to be simply invented.
“World Bank”. Like many things, organizations and people in this world, it sounds terribly impressive. On the surface…
As to the “young man” in question, I myself met him only once, when he was not that young anymore. Early 1980s. I was about 26, my then girlfriend 33, and the “young man” in this story about 33 or 34, maybe 35. He, on a flying visit, invited us, with a couple of others, also ex-Cambridge alumni (as always, I was the outsider) to dinner at a Chinese restaurant, I think on the Finchley Road, not far from where the other couple lived in Hampstead.
The economist’s American wife was back in the USA. Perhaps he was curious to see his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend. It could have been a little awkward, especially in view of the fact that there was an age gap made greater by the others being all rather established in worldly life, whereas I was pretty much “economically inactive”, and spending most of my time on occult, theological, historical, and speculative “alternative” political matters.
In the event, the evening went not badly, despite (maybe because) I was too busy talking to notice that I was pouring hot Chinese tea all over myself; the (other) lady present said that it was very impressive that I did not cry out. Very dry, very Cambridge…
I just looked up the said economist. Now in, at least, his mid-seventies, he has apparently also worked for the U.S. Treasury and on Wall Street, and has taken part at a high level in meetings of the Basel Committee [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_Committee_on_Banking_Supervision]. Obviously still based, in the old term, “stateside”.
As always, I find it interesting to see how people’s lives are largely determined, not in every case but in many, by their advantages and disadvantages of birth, family income and capital, early education etc.
The economist’s father, I now see (from Wikipedia), died in 1988 and, as I already knew, was a Labour (later SDP) life peer, who had had a considerable medical, academic, and political career.
In the end, all humans live out an allotted span, and all in the end leave the Earth (until reincarnated).

Apart from anything else, without oil production the Azeris would be dirt-poor, as indeed they were before the discovery of oil over a century ago. Are they likely to go along with the “stop oil” nonsense? I doubt it.
“Britain’s recently built multi-billion pound aircraft carriers may already be out of date, with military sources revealing that the carries [sic] get sunk ‘in most war games’.
At present, the Royal Navy boasts two £6.2 billion aircraft carriers, the HMS Queen Elizabeth and the HMS Prince of Wales, which were only commissioned into service in 2017 and 2019 respectively.
However, given the constant advancements in weapon technology, the ships may now be too susceptible to modern missiles to prove effective in wartime operation.“

As predicted years ago by both accredited “military/naval experts” and, inter alia, me (on this blog).
If that's the new description for these events, why was Peter Lynch jailed for attending the Southport vigil..
…and the Harehills (Leeds) riots were not “Romanian”, either.
Never confuse real Romanians with Roma Gypsies, which are (mostly) a kind of criminal underclass who live in Romania (and also now in the UK, thanks to our traitor politicians), may have Romanian passports, but are not Romanian an sich.
Romanians are, understandably, offended by being constantly conflated, usually by ignorant UK newspaper scribblers and TV talking heads, with the Roma Gypsies.

So Farage has now not only vehemently supported Israel and the UK Jewish/Zionist lobby, but also seems to be saying that Muslims in the UK should not be alienated politically either. The man is, as often said, a snake-oil salesman but, having said that, I would not rule out the chance of him becoming a Cabinet minister in some kind of coalition government after 2029.
That is what the Jewish state has done to Gaza in just over one year.
Quasi-legal thought
It occurs to me that, should anyone in the UK be accused of any indictable offence (meaning, simply put, one in which guilt will be determined by a jury rather than a single magistrate —or lay bench— as is the case with non-indictable offences), and if that alleged offence involves alleged hostility to Jews, or the Jews in general, the said defendant might be able to count on popular disgust at what the Jewish state of Israel is doing in Gaza to sway the jury. Just “a thought out of season”…

It is tempting, of course, simply to label Keir Starmer as an idiot, and in many respects he is, but one must never forget that behind “elected” dictator Starmer stands NWO/ZOG, as indeed the whole global Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby.
Look at how Starmer now joins with another such puppet, Macron, pushing the idea that the brutal and shambolic regime of the Jew dictator Zelensky in Kiev should be given more missiles, more powerful missiles, and the approval to launch them deep inside Russia, even at Moscow and other major cities.

“*An open letter to Donald Trump from Uri Geller: “You have the power to bomb Iran. Use it!”*
Dear Mr President Welcome back, and congratulations on your epic victory! You have a lot to fix, though my paranormal powers tell me you will have a phenomenal presidency in which you will achieve many great things for #America and the world.
I will be right about this, in the same way I have been proven right many times in my life about events before they have happened. For 50 years I have been the world’s most investigated psychic and now the future of our planet could depend on what I am about to say directly to you. Mr President, you are the only one who can avert a catastrophe – but you HAVE to act. Everyone in the world saw how unbelievably close you came to death on that stage in #Butler – and everyone in the world saw how God saved your life. I am not religious but I am convinced God performed a miracle witnessed by millions in order to give you a vital mission.
Mr President, in 2018 you did a courageous thing in the face of huge opposition, by withdrawing from the #nuclear treaty. Your wise decision set back Iran’s nuclear programme by years and put its tyrannical regime on a trajectory towards collapse. Tragically this was undone by the weakest, most duplicitous administration America has ever had – and the results are clear to see: the Middle East is now in flames, and Iran is speeding towards a nuclear bomb.
With my powers of remote viewing – and do not forget, I was used for my abilities by the #CIA – I can see deep inside Iran’s nuclear factories and I know exactly what they are doing. I am telling you: #Iran is building a nuclear weapon. This is not speculation. They are doing it right now!
Mr President, we do not have much time left. If Iran gets the bomb then the world is finished! I see terrifying visions of what will happen if this apocalyptic regime is not stopped. #Israel will be first – and America will be second. Make no mistake – destroying America is Iran’s ultimate goal.
A nuclear attack on Israel will kill millions – and an attack on America will kill many more and make the US unlivable. Radiation will last for a century, a nuclear winter will set in, food will not grow, entire species will die and life as we know it will end. Do not be fooled – Iran has the intent and will make up any lie possible to pretend it doesn’t. It will use nuclear talks as a cover to buy time. It is sometimes said that #Khamenei issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons but this is false. Khamenei is deceitful – and fatwas can be undone. He is 85 and ailing. He is a fanatical religious zealot, and the bomb is the only way he can make sure the regime will survive. I can read his mind – Khamenei wants to get it while he is still on this earth – and no-one will defy him.
Mr President, Israel was caught off-guard and had #7October. Do not be the president on whose watch Iran got nuclear weapons. Do not let it manage to even assemble a bomb! Do not let it become a North Korea, which can now not be disarmed. Strike NOW! You will never have a better opportunity. Together with Israel you must attack Iran’s nuclear sites and bomb them to pieces. I believe this is the mission for which God saved your life. Do not sit on your hands, time has almost run out. If you do not do it now, Iran will get nuclear bombs during your presidency.
This is a fact. I can see it like I have seen other events before they happened. Do you want that for your legacy? Do not forget, Iran tried to kill you! If you do not act, it will hold America to ransom. Be the president who took out this regime for the sake of humankind. You have the power. Use it. @realDonaldTrump#Trump@elonmusk#ElonMusk#MAGA#Election2024@khamenei_ir“
Geller is an interesting character. Hard to know what is pure fakery, what he at least believes he sees or intuits, and what is possibly even a MOSSAD attempt at oblique influence.
When I was at school in Berkshire (England) in the early 1970s, Geller became a sensation in the UK and internationally, and bought a large Arts and Crafts house in the nearby village of Sonning (where George and Amal Clooney, and other celebrities and famous figures, including Theresa May, now have houses).
Geller relocated back to his native Israel (occupied Palestine, if you will) in 2015.
I have read Geller’s memoirs, but am still undecided about what is real and what is fake about him. At any rate, he is even today, at age 77, a very influential figure in popular culture, something which must be of interest to MOSSAD etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uri_Geller.

As I blogged previously, in relation to both the USA election and Labour’s present situation in the UK.
The difference lies in the fact that the people of the UK had 14 years of inept “Conservative” misgovernment 2010-2024, and the voters wanted the Cons out, at almost any price.
Having said that, and as previously noted several times on the blog, out of every 20 eligible voters in the UK at GE 2024, and in rough figures, about 8 were so disenchanted with the whole political process, with society, and with the political choices available, that they voted with their feet (did not vote at all).
For me, the most significant figures would be the 8 out of 20 who did not vote, and the 2 that voted Reform UK.
Obviously, Labour, Starmer-Labour, has little real popular mandate, particularly in view of the fact that Labour’s “4 out of 20” or “4 out of 12” would have included those who, faced with a Lab-Con fight in many constituencies, voted Lab to do down the Cons; the same, in reverse, may also be true, though to a lesser extent; those who voted Con to prevent Lab from winning. Negative voting.
There is at present, or as yet, no sign of a real social-national party emerging in the UK.
I think that Matt Goodwin may be right, i.e. that Reform UK will emerge as the real opposition to Labour in the public mind.
Reform UK now has 5 MPs, though all are rather underwhelming. Reform should of course (were the electoral system not both illogical and unfair) have had about 93 MPs, not the mere 5 awarded to them under FPTP.
It is ridiculous that a party, Reform UK, can get 14.29% of the popular vote and end up with 5 MPs, and that another party, the LibDems, can be voted for by only 12.22%, yet end up with 72 MPs! That does offend the still quite strong sense of fairness and fair play in this country.
Come to that, Labour itself captured only 33.7% of the popular vote, not greatly more than double the vote of Reform UK, yet now has 411 MPs.
A pure proportional-voting system would have given Labour 219 MPs, the Conservative Party 154, Reform UK 93, LibDems 79, and Green Party 42.
In other words, under pure proportional voting, on GE 2024 vote figures, the UK would still be under a Labour Party government, but it would be a minority one.
In practice, 320 MPs give a UK government a Commons majority. Under the proportional-voting scenario, and in order to get over the line, Labour would have been required to compact with either the Conservative Party, or with Reform UK, or with both the LibDems and Greens. I suppose that that last choice would have been the most likely— Labour with LibDem and Green support.
Having said that, were there a fairer and more proportional voting system in the UK, voters would be able to cast their votes knowing that, unless they were to vote Monster Raving Loony Party or the like, their votes would almost certainly result in at least one MP of their preference getting elected. On GE 2024 figures, even George Galloway’s party, Workers’ Party, would have had 4 or 5 MPs in the Commons (0.73% of the popular vote, 210,194 actual votes).
There is little doubt in my mind that, were the UK voting system fairer, most UK voters would not be voting for the System or “legacy” parties. Not only would Reform UK surge forward, but a real social national party might be able to capture both the imagination and the votes of the British people. That, of course, is why System politicians want to retain the present voting set-up.

That is about Simon Myerson, Leeds-based barrister and one of the “CAA” and “UKLFI” Jew-Zionist crowd, who was sacked as a Recorder (p/t judge) several months ago as a consequence of his extremely unpleasant and persistent social media trolling.
According to Myerson, the terrible slaughter visited upon the people of Gaza is, “legally”, not “genocide”, presumably because not all Gazans have been killed or wounded (“only” 150,000+, i.e. about a tenth of the population), and because the Israelis at least claim not to intend eliminating all Gazans or other Palestinian Arabs from Israel/Palestine.
Well, could not a similar claim, mutatis mutandis, be made by Germany about the Europe-resident Jews of the early 1940s?
Not my area of law (when I had “areas of law”). In any case, my own view of the Gaza slaughter is not based on some “dancing on a pin” legal sophistry. I say, just look at what the Israelis have been doing, and what they continue to do. Whether it is called “genocide” or not is irrelevant, really.
I have noticed that some of the non-Jews (who are pro-Jew-Zionist or, maybe better said, pro-Israel), and some of those who are part-Jew (what the Reich termed Mischlingen) but Zionist, are actually more fanatical than many of those who are fully-Jewish. Strange. That phenomenon has been covered on the blog, on this very popular page: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/.
