Ecce the System parties, squabbling while Rome burns.

Both pretend that Russia is some kind of invasion threat to the UK, which is total nonsense. Both are in the pocket of Jewish and/or Israeli interests.

Meanwhile, as the System-party Punch and Judy show continues, day after and week after week, the migration invasion also continues. 1,000-2,000 per day in small boats across the Channel, and another ~5,000 per day via “legal” routes (“business visas”, “students”, “fiances/fiancees”, “spouses”, fake “tourists” etc).

In the 1960s, 1970s, Britain still had avenues open to it that would have taken the country in better directions. Now, in several ways, but mainly by reason of the demographic changes, the black/brown (etc) invasion and births etc, we are being painted into a corner.

Translates to: Reform 299 MPs, Lab 165, Cons 65, LibDems 57, SNP 34. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

That poll is an outlier, in that other recent polls give Reform a Commons majority (this one would be 27 short, but in practice about 17 short), and this poll has the Cons in third place instead of fifth.

At that point, the UK might as well not exist. The only point of importance is to create an English/British/pan-European breeding bloc, to be the pool of genetic material for a people which can become the foundation for a much later super-race in Eurasia.

The Jew-Zionist lobby has been gunning for Dr. Miller for years.

As to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], this blog addressed the CAA “lawfare” campaign(s) both recently and on previous occasions:

[“The CAA is a foreign influence operation which acts on behalf of the State of Israel, a hostile and illegitimate genocidal Jewish supremacist state.

More corruption from the Starmer-stein/Rachel Reeves Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment.

…and the main Jew-Zionist orgs in the UK are still busy whining about what may or may not have happened to some Jews in the Europe of 80-100 years ago…and are privately prosecuting anti-Israel voices such as Dr. David Miller.

Incidentally, as the children (and others) of Gaza starve, the Jews (in Israel and elsewhere, including the UK) have just held their annual religious festival involving foods, especially dairy foods and sweet foods (symbolic of the Old Testament “land of milk and honey“)…

Part of the answer to that is the reason why it is pointless for General Blimps in the British Army to issue statements about the (non-existent) “nation” pulling together to face war with Russia (which is unnecessary and being contrived by secretive cabals in London, Paris, and Tel Aviv).

War with Russia is unnecessary. Conflict of any kind with Russia is unnecessary. War with Russia would leave the UK a charred and irradiated wasteland, and the way things are going, most of the survivors would not be English/British anyway.

If so, then this rests with the Kiev regime. What can one say? I am glad I do not live in Kiev…

Shameful.

As noted already, secret cabals in London and Paris seem intent on triggering another truly major European war.

Starmer-stein has fewer troops every day. Officers and others are leaving, few are joining up. If the ones “training” in Ukraine are wiped out, the British Army will be left with little but headquarters staff and the odd online and “diversity” unit here and there.

Even some Jews now find the direction of travel of the Jew-Zionist ethnostate, Israel, distasteful.

After all, how can you pose as a “victim” of supposedly “evil” “Nazis” (80, 90, 100 years ago), and claim present-day privileges and immunities on the back of that, when you are turning cities full of people into charred holes in the ground, bombing hospitals, when you are burning, shooting, bombing and starving civilian populations, and cutting off food, medical supplies, even water? When you have killed 200,000 people, mostly women and children, in only 18 months?

Also, when your Jewish state is itself now creating new long-term concentration camps for Palestinian Arabs…

Also, when the remaining cities containing Palestinian Arabs are being ethnically cleansed, and the Arabs subject to mob intimidation…

More about vicious pro-Israel social media troll Pete Newbon

Many readers will know something about Pete Newbon, the social media troll who committed suicide during the civil trial in which he was one of three defendants, Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor.

Newbon had neglected to tell his wife about his activities and about his (then upcoming) defeat in that case, which meant that she would have been unaware that their family home was on the line, largely because Newbon and the other defendants had been misled, either deliberately or negligently, by the Jew-Zionist solicitors and Counsel in the case, in particular the egregious self-publicist, Israel-based Jewish solicitor, Mark Lewis (re Lewis, see blog posts passim via the blog’s search box).

Israel, “antisemitism”, and the continuing Israeli war crimes in Gaza

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/23/netanyahu-accused-of-slander-criticising-macron-carney-starmer

Benjamin Netanyahu was accused of slander and pursuing a war without end after he claimed the leaders of France, Canada and the UK were stoking antisemitism and siding with Hamas by demanding he end the two-month blockade of food and aid into Gaza.

In a post on X on Thursday evening, the Israeli prime minister said Hamas wanted to “destroy the Jewish state” and “annihilate the Jewish people”.

I could never understand how this simple truth evades the leaders of France, Britain, Canada and others,” Netanyahu said.

I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer, when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you’re on the wrong side of justice.”

[Guardian]

So now even Starmer-stein and Macron, both egregious puppets of the worldwide Jew-Zionist lobby and Israel, are called “antisemitic“! Carney, too, a former Goldman Sachs and central banker who is himself believed to be part-Jew (though his background is mainly Irish).

Is this the peak of such “gaslighting”? We in the UK have seen, for years now, the raucous Jew-Zionist lobby saying that almost anything not slavishly pro-Israel is “antisemitic”. The malicious and dishonest so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] has been in the forefront of it all, making false accusations about people to police and professional regulators, and spreading its poisonous propaganda on Sky News, GB News, the “does anyone actually watch?” Talk TV online outlet, and even the BBC.

Apart from that, imagine the lack of self-knowledge it takes for Netanyahu to accuse the admittedly unpleasant Hamas organization of being “mass murderers“, “baby killers” etc when the Hamas attack on Israel in late 2023 killed some thousand or so Jews and others (though many were in fact killed by the brutal Israeli forces themselves when the latter were killing Hamas operatives, and the Israeli victims seem to have “got in the way”) but when the Israeli retaliation in Gaza has killed anywhere between 150,000 and 200,000, mostly civilians rather than Hamas personnel.

In other words, in terms of numbers, the Israeli forces have killed between 150 and 200 Gazans for every one Israeli Jew killed during the 2023 incursion by Hamas personnel into southern Israel.

The Gazan population has been bombed, firebombed, attacked with white phosphorus, attacked with flamethrowers, shot at from the air and ground, rolled over by Israeli tanks, and killed also by an embargo on medical supplies and even food and water.

About half, more than half, of the victims of the Israeli forces in Gaza have been women and children, a huge proportion of the latter having been under the age of 12 (so not teenage fighters, of which Hamas seems to have few anyway); many of the victims have been babies, indeed. Netanyahu should look in the mirror, if he can bear it.

Incidentally, most of the original Israeli victims of the 2023 incursion were adults, and most were members of the Israeli armed forces, police, or other security orgs.

As previously blogged, if the Hamas operatives of 2023 were in part monstrous, indeed if the Palestinian Arabs generally are sometimes monstrous, then they have been made monstrous, and made so mainly by the actions and behaviour of Israel, and its supporters and facilitators elsewhere. Jews across the world raise money for Israel, including money specifically raised for the Israeli armed forces.

Are we coming to the point at which the “Western” world will (start to) throw off the shroud of (((control))) over Western economies, legal professions, politicians, newspapers, TV, radio etc, which (((control))) has become ever-heavier over the last 150 years, and particularly since the disastrous end of the Second World War in 1945?

Israel itself was founded on a foundation of mass murder and ethnic cleansing. The karma taken on by Israel and its population (and its supporters in the West) is very heavy, and gets heavier daily.

More Labour hypocrisy

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/may/23/labour-blocks-proposal-for-swift-bricks-in-all-new-homes

“Labour blocks proposal for ‘swift bricks’ in all new homes

MPs had previously backed Conservative amendment to ask developers to provide hollow bricks for endangered birds

Providing every new home with at least one “swift brick” to help endangered cavity-nesting birds has been rejected by Labour at the committee stage of its increasingly controversial planning bill.

The amendment to the bill to ask every developer to provide a £35 hollow brick for swifts, house martins, sparrows and starlings, which was tabled by Labour MP Barry Gardiner, has been rejected by the Labour-dominated committee.

Despite the Labour party having supported the swift brick amendment when it was tabled on Conservative government legislation in 2023, housing minister, Matthew Pennycook, told the House of Commons committee: “We are not convinced that legislating to mandate the use of specific wildlife features is the right approach, whether that is done through building regulations or a freestanding legal requirement.

A new petition calling for swift bricks to be made mandatory for new homes has rapidly reached 80,000 signatures in recent days, two years after activist Hannah Bourne-Taylor won a parliamentary debate to help the rapidly declining migratory birds after 109,896 voters signed a government petition.

Bourne-Taylor said there appeared to be “no logic” to the government’s opposition to swift bricks when they precisely meet its ambition of creating win-wins for the economy and nature.

“They are going to be building millions of bricks into walls. I don’t understand why there’s such a problem with a brick with a hole in it. It seems ludicrous,” she said. “Why say your new legislation is a win-win for new homes and the environment and exclude the only measure that is a true win-win?

“They are tone-deaf. This is such a tiny thing they could do, but it’s brewing such a distrust and sense of betrayal among the people who voted for them.”

[Guardian]

Such an easy way in which to help those birds and the environment generally, and now fake Labour has ruined it.

The Labour Party is now fake, evil, and deserving of being stamped into the ground.

As for that Pennycook bastard, he seems to be a typical Labour MP of 2025, a “beggar on horseback”, i.e. a careerist from a very modest background, determined to climb the greasy pole, with neither ideas nor ideals, and completely unprincipled.

By reason of the repression of free speech in this country, I cannot say what I might hope will happen to most System MPs.

Ironic. The System politicians and msm recently lined up to mention the possibility that Britain might have been invaded in 1940, yet pretended not to notice a real invasion that is happening right under their noses, and literally under the noses of the spectators of that Dunkirk tribute show.

As to why Britain was never actually under real threat of invasion in 1940, there were numerous reasons. First of all, Hitler wanted to rule much of the world in alliance with the British Empire; he did not want war with Britain; Britain, i.e. Neville Chamberlain’s Cabinet, declared war on Germany in 1939 and, after mid-1940, his successor, Churchill, was unwilling to consider an armistice.

Hitler was weighing what became the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. He did not wan t a two-front war.

Hitler allowed most of the British Army soldiers in the Dunkirk area to escape (my own maternal grandfather one of them). Hitler refused to allow the Luftwaffe and tank columns to destroy that army, the remnants of the British Expeditionary Force or BEF. German ground forces were halted outside Dunkirk by Hitler’s own order (Fuhrerbefehl).

Secondly, the Germans never had enough barge and ship capacity to ferry an army of sufficient size across the Channel.

Thirdly, the Luftwaffe could not guarantee air superiority; neither could the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine much defend any forces ferried across.

Reverting to today’s real invasion, it continues, day after day, and nothing of importance is being done to stop, or even slow, the flow.

If only Britain had been in loose alliance with the Reich. We would have been, today, the rulers of much of the world, and that world would have been a better and happier place by reason of it. The usual evil (((influence))) prevented it from happening. Instead, we sit on our small and beleaguered island, invaded daily by trash from all over the world, we are individually poorer with every passing day and, with every passing day, our society falls apart, more and more.

I wonder how long it will be before there is little that is worthwhile left. At the age of 68, I may not see the ultimate depths of the degradation of Britain, thank God, and I am doing what little I presently can, in my present situation, to avoid the catastrophe, but see around me a society running around like a headless chicken, scarcely aware that it is already, in effect, dead, or at least mortally wounded.

I may, by Grace of God, be able to do more. We shall see. That is a matter of Fate. If the existing society cannot be saved, it may be that seeds can be planted in the rotting corruption, seeds which may germinate at a later time in history.

I noted Myerson’s recent and defamatory attack on Dr. Rachel Clarke on the blog, yesterday, and mused on whether she could or, rather, will take a civil action in defamation against him, as well as reporting Myerson to the Bar Standards Board. The same must be true of this doctor, assuming that she is a medical doctor, as it seems she must be. Myerson is plainly saying that she will not treat Jew patients professionally.

Perhaps the two lady doctors will co-operate in both suing Myerson and reporting him to the Bar Standards Board.

Anonymous Jew-Zionist stalker attacks James Wilson, the victorious defendant in the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased) and Cantor.

Myerson and other notorious Jew-Zionist pro-Israel fanatics testified for the defendants, but the trial judge gave no weight to (i.e. plainly disbelieved) what they said on oath; Myerson included.

Thank God Myerson was at least sacked as a recorder (p/t judge) last year. The sacking was presented as if a “resignation”, of course. He had already been given an official warning about his online trolling.

Police who are doing this should have their names, ranks, and numbers recorded.

As one might expect from scribbler Allison Pearson, she has missed at least one point. It is actually irrelevant whether someone’s views are considered “racist” (an almost-meaningless term).

My views now, and when I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred by reason of a conspiracy by two connected packs of Jews (“UK Lawyers for Israel” and the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) in 2016 ( 8 years after I ceased to practise at the Bar), are little if at all different from when I was in ordinary Bar practice in England (1992-1996 and 2002-2008), I being overseas most of the intervening time and for several years thereafter.

When I was in Bar practice before the courts and tribunals of England (mostly the County Courts and the High Court, though at first also in the magistrates’ courts, various tribunals and —occasionally— the Crown Courts), I had lay clients (and instructing solicitors) who were from many parts of the world, most living in the UK. Many species of blacks and browns, inter alia. I always did my best for all of them. That is or was the ethos of the Bar.

It is also irrelevant whether or not Lucy Connolly is or is not labelled as “racist” by this idiot or that. The fact is that her sentence was harsh, and the circumstances of her original plea and the facts of her case amount, overall, to a miscarriage of justice, notwithstanding her (frankly, mistaken) original guilty plea.

Lucy Connolly is quite evidently being used, politically, by the Starmer-stein regime, as something akin to the dead crows etc that gamekeepers used to impale on spikes as some kind of supposed warning-off to others. Katie Hopkins has vlogged to the same effect, and I had already blogged to that same effect.

The same thing happened to Tony Martin, the farmer who was at first convicted, quite wrongly, of having murdered a “gypsy” (Irish tinker/”traveller”) after a group of those predators and scavengers attacked Martin’s isolated farmhouse: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Martin_(farmer).

Even after his murder conviction was quashed, being replaced by a manslaughter conviction and a 5-year term (his 10-year sentence for shooting and wounding another nuisance in the same incident was also reduced, the 10 years being replaced by a —concurrent— 3-year term), Martin was refused early release, and served 3 years. The woke-idiot probation and parole swine were judging him for his views, at root.

Had I been Prime Minister, I should have made sure that Martin was never charged (and don’t think that that is not possible). Indeed, he should have been commended for his brave actions, and given money from public funds.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Facilitated by those, or some of those, who live, and profit, in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, France and other countries.

Meanwhile, “the usual suspects” wail about supposed defaults or crimes committed (or not committed, or not committed on the scale they claim) in Germany, Poland and elsewhere in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and more than 80 years ago.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Diary Blog, 16 April 2025, including thoughts about cruelty to animals in Egypt, about Reform’s chances of having nearly 200 MPs elected, and about the Runcorn and Helsby by-election

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14614247/Dutch-woman-PUNCHES-man-beating-donkey-Egyptian-tourist-site-chases-whip.html

An animal-loving Dutch vigilante who attacked a man she saw beating a donkey in Egypt is now facing a lawsuit.

Astonishing footage shows expat Joke Van der Post punching the animal’s handler before chasing him with a whip as he tries to flee.

In the heartbreaking video – which has since gone viral – the donkey kicks out in agony as it is repeatedly lashed while tethered to a wall on the outskirts of Cairo.

Appalled by the horrific cruelty, the 47-year-old runs at the man before pinning him against a wall and striking him several times shouting, ‘You think you’re f****** normal.’

As the man tries to run away Ms Van der Post, who manages a veterinary practice called the Good Karma Sanctuary, grabs a whip from another donkey handler and chases him off into the distance.

The man filed a police complaint accusing Ms Van der Post of assault and claiming appearing in the viral video has caused him ‘psychological harm’, local media reports.”

[Daily Mail]

Treatment of animals in Egypt is often very bad, and most of the people there are cowardly wastes of space.

It is interesting to note that not only do Europeans run all or almost all of the animal welfare hospitals etc in Egypt, but also most of the efforts devoted to helping the Egyptian children etc born with various handicaps. The locals (I was told when I was there for a few months in the 1990s) regard such accidents or incidents of birth as a curse from God, and so need not be addressed at all. Backward Islamic or quasi-Islamic beliefs.

It is also interesting to note that modern Egypt was run best under the European influence of c.1860-1952 and in particular the years between the First and Second World Wars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Egypt.

In Alexandria, that time is known as the International Period. Far more civilized than Alexandria as it now is.

The Egyptian in that Daily Mail report is typical. Willing to hurt a defenceless donkey, but running away when a European woman confronted him. Pity he was not himself whipped.

I could tell of a number of instances when I saw that Egyptian coward/bully mentality. There are exceptions, and some of the Egyptians are better than that, but I think a small minority.

Look at the pathetic Egyptian Army. As the old joke has it, the only time (in the past few thousand years) when the Egyptians won a military victory was in the second act of Aida.

Really, it has to be admitted that Africa generally, and including North Africa , should be under civilized European rule.

Reform UK, Labour, and the Runcorn and Helsby by-election

The most recent opinion poll about nationwide political sympathies:

Well, that poll (with notional LibDem vote around 12%, and Greens on 10%) would result in a Commons with 198 Lab MPs, 187 Reform, and 156 Con (51 Libdems, 27 SNP, 4 Greens). The only possible government on those numbers would be a Reform/Con arrangement of some sort, having a majority of 17, and a working majority slightly bigger. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

The polls are variable at present, but all tell the same story— Reform UK either the most popular party or a close second. Bearing in mind that Reform voters are said to be more motivated to actually vote than Lab or Con voters (and that fewer Lab voters vote by post, Con and Reform voters tending —so far— to be older and, by reason of that, less healthy), the real picture could well be even better for Reform.

I see the reality as being that at least a plurality of voters are absolutely sick of what Britain is becoming, and are therefore clutching at the Reform straw even though, in many cases, underwhelmed by both Reform and Farage. The voters who support Reform want to hit out at, and perhaps bury, both Lab and Con.

This should make the Runcorn and Helsby by-election even more interesting. The betting market (which I have found an unreliable guide to by-election results) has Reform as strongly odds-on favourite to win (about 1/3, with Labour around 5/2, and Conservatives around 8/1; there are 15 candidates in all). https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.241434500.

I think and have blogged that Reform will smash it, but I concede that there are a number of factors in play. The constituency has Runcorn town as main voter pool, but even that is over 90% white, so the George Galloway vehicle, Workers’ Party, will probably come in 4th or 5th.

Turnout may or may not be low; if it is, Reform will benefit, probably. I wonder how many former Labour voters will turn out to vote for a nominally “Labour” government that has cheated pensioners, is intent on cheating and bullying the sick, disabled and unemployed, and which is at the same time throwing money at “Ukraine” (the brutal Zionist dictatorship in Kiev) and foreign aid recipients. All that, and while also presiding over ever-worse migration invasion, and the consequent street crime now seen everywhere.

The “experts” are still saying that the by-election will be close between Reform and Labour, but Labour seems less credible with every passing day. No less than 700 migrant-invaders landed on the beaches of England yesterday alone!

The Conservative Party under the Nigerian woman is a busted flush. In any case, in 2024 the Cons only scored 16% in the Runcorn and Helsby constituency.

Any 2024 Conservative Party voters who want to stick it to Labour have no choice but to vote Reform, tactically.

This by-election will be a pure test of the popularity of both Starmer-stein’s fake “Labour” government and of Reform UK. Its importance is huge.

I had thought that Matt Goodwin would use the by-election to launch a front-line political bid. Maybe he thought it too much of a risk, but risk is the lifeblood of politics.

Still, that lady has every chance of becoming an MP soon.

The only thing to do in England now is to make a complete revaluation of society.

Not sure how accurate is the contention that counter-intelligence is the “main function” of the FBI; not much, I think. The FBI was set up or, rather, re-established under J. Edgar Hoover (“the New Bu‘”) to deal with the wave of interstate criminality that arose after the First World War.

Counter-intelligence and counter-espionage was not its main role then, though Hoover did try to counter both Soviet espionage and, from about 1941, German espionage and sabotage. He had some successes, but was always likely to do whatever led to favourable headlines in newspapers, even if that might prejudice delicate investigations.

Zelensky should have been eliminated three years ago, as part of a swift and near-bloodless takeover. That never happened.

All in retaliation, persistent and inhuman retaliation, for an attack by Gazans on southern Israel about 18 months ago, during which hundreds of Israeli Jews died, though many from the “friendly fire” of their own armed forces.

Impressive but slightly (?) sinister at the same time.

Starmer-stein is a joke, a bad joke, as are Liz Kendall, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, Angela Rayner and the rest; Lammy is (arguably, and in a tight field) the most out of his depth, though. The “diversity hire” dummy posing as Foreign Secretary.

Historical footnote

[Philby on a 5-kopeck late-Soviet commemorative postage stamp, and described as “Soviet Razvedchik“, a term which might be translated as “intelligencer”, rather than the grubbier-sounding “spy” (in Russian, “shpion”); “razvedchik” is a more polite or dignified term]

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/22/mi5-surveillance-british-spy-kim-philby-made-public

Secret surveillance of Britain’s ­notorious double agent, Kim Philby, made public for the first time in archived documents, reveals how keenly the Security Service wanted to confirm or disprove early suspicions of his high-level treachery.

In daily bulletins submitted to MI5 in November 1951, undercover operatives describe how Philby, codenamed Peach, moved about London.

They said he gave “no outward sign of being either nervous or on the alert, but your well trained man should not do so; every movement is natural – again as it should be”

[Guardian]

The whole Philby thing has always been hugely overblown. Philby himself has been over-rated, too. Superficially well-educated, yes, but really a rather dogmatic Marxist-Leninist who, under other formative circumstances, might have been like some of the other basically mediocre professional-level bourgeois Englishmen I have met in my life, and who were not in secret-intelligence work but, variously, Roman Catholic converts, and/or military officers or barristers or other activity.

Philby was certainly no great mind, though he evidently thought himself very clever. Likewise, he was a bit of a plodder ideologically.

I recall that Philby wrote in his supposed memoirs (possibly part-ghosted by KGB helpers), My Silent War, or elsewhere, that “you choose your side and stick with it“, i.e. rather as others do to the Labour or Conservative parties, or to (the contemporary British obsession) football clubs. Unthinking loyalty. Stick-in-the-mud loyalty.

The puffing of Philby as the “masterspy”, or even “spymaster”, suited both sides in the Cold War: the Soviet side getting the gloss of having not only suborned Philby and other “Establishment” Englishmen to the Marxist/Soviet cause, but also having outplayed Western intelligence agencies in the spy game.

As for the British part of the Western side, Philby’s prominence could be presented as an example of why pervasive “security” (and the whole Cold War stance) was necessary. Also, his supposed “brilliance” in a way bolstered the reputation of institutions such as the more expensive English schools (Philby was at Westminster School) and, of course, the supposedly elite universities, in particular Cambridge.

The whole “Cambridge spies” story tends to puff the reputation of SIS and MI5 (despite their having been outplayed) by making their role seem terribly important. One scribbler even penned a well-known book called Philby— The Spy Who Betrayed A Generation, as if the Cambridge Spies were pretty much the centrepiece of British history since the 1930s, rather than an obscure footnote to it.

In the 1930s (when Philby started to work for Soviet organizations), there was (in the first half of the decade) the Great Depression, and the initial triumph of National Socialism in Germany. In the middle of the 1930s to 1939, the Spanish Civil War, while in Britain itself, the economy was recovering and society changing .

Then, in the early/mid 1940s, there was the titanic Second World War (in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War).

In Britain, after 1945, there were the great social changes of the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, the “Cambridge Spies” were mostly not even in the UK. Maclean and Burgess had fled in 1951, and Philby was in journalistic exile in the Middle East. The economic and social changes in the UK were the main events, together with the start of the disastrous migration-invasion of non-whites into the UK, and Britain’s retreat from Empire.

The “Cambridge Spies” were not even footnotes to much of that. Near-irrelevant, despite the obsessions of the Westminster Bubblers and newspaper scribblers.

What damaged Britain in the 1940s through to the 1960s, and then on to today, was not a few spies passing on information to the Soviet Union, but the abandonment of Empire, the importation of blacks and browns in vast numbers, the cultural decadence etc.

You often see Philby and his fellow Cambridge spies described as “upper-class” or even “aristocratic”. In fact, not one was of “aristocratic” background, though all (except Cairncross) were affluent or wealthy. Philby’s own father was from an affluent government-connected family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby] but a fact generally ignored or covered-up is that Philby’s mother, Dora, was half-Indian, a so-called “chi-chi” (pron. “shi-shi”), which may have subtly affected his loyalties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Philby

General Kalugin, in his memoirs, describes how his superiors had the idea of using Philby, then in Moscow, as a kind of lure for potential agents in the West, by showing that he was respected, had a good life etc. His first meeting with the shambling drunken Philby makes a memorable picture.

Incidentally, Philby never learned to speak or read Russian beyond a rudimentary level, and had English-language books supplied to him via the KGB (presumably via people at the London embassy, and the diplomatic bag).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Kalugin

In the early 1990s, sometime around 1994, I was slightly acquainted with a Russian businessman living in London, and with an office in Regent Street, who had some legal business (I was a barrister at the time). We had lunch at least once at my Inn (of Court), Lincoln’s Inn. I recall that the Spanish waitress was very taken with “Ed” [Edvard] and his rather Scandinavian looks (he was from the Baltic regions) and even asked me later if I might effect an introduction for her (that never happened).

“Ed” was quite open about the fact that, prior to his taking to capitalist business activity, he had been in the KGB, though that would only have been, at a guess, for a relatively few years. He recalled having been at a lecture or two given by Philby in Moscow (he said that that had been at the Lubyanka).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubyanka_Building

Small world. “Six degrees of separation” etc…

Incidentally, those comments in the Guardian from the MI5 surveillance directorate in 1951 do tend to beg the question; after all, if a surveillance target is acting naturally, then either he is not guilty, or is literally acting (and/or has been trained to act) naturally, so in fact may be guilty. If, though, the target looks nervous, looks for reflections in shop windows etc, does that mean that he is guilty, or is he just a nervous wreck and/or afraid of being thought guilty? Wilderness of mirrors.

The sheer hypocrisy of the Labour Friends of Israel “Labour” government is simply unbelievable. Surely Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves, Torsten Bell, Starmer-stein etc can see that? Or are they so removed from truth and decency that they cannot see it? That might be even more alarming.

I should imagine that even Labour-inclined voters will be voting Reform UK (or staying home) at the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, in order to send a message (and/or a kick) to this horrifyingly callous and irredeemably incompetent misgovernment.

As to Conservative Party loyalists in the area, I should say that the Cons have no chance— so vote Reform in order to stick it to fake Labour.

“Rachel from Accounts” knows no more about economics than George Osborne during 2010-2015. Both promulgating counter-productive fake “austerity”.

Given that there is a lot of talk about changes to special educational needs provision and reform plans for the NHS, we should worry about what the government might focus on next. Equally alarming, it seems to me, is a belief in Downing Street that reviving the UK demands embracing the wonders of artificial intelligence, which Keir Starmer believes will have an almost magical effect on everything from social work to education, and realise his new dream of “totally rewiring government”. Because this is an administration so lacking in everyday humanity, that is a much more scary prospect than he and his colleagues seem to realise.

I should not be surprised to find (if I am still around) that, somewhere down the line, in 5+ years’ time, the members of the present Cabinet will find themselves up against a wall.

Sumy Oblast or region is in NE Ukraine. Sumy city is NNW of Kharkov; about 150 miles from Kharkov by road but only about 90 miles as the crow flies. About 200 miles east of Kiev.

So Russian forces are in Sumy Oblast now. There seem to be Russian advances in all material parts of the overall front. Kiev-regime forces are falling back.

This blog has been referring to fake Labour as “Labour-label” since its inception in late 2016, certainly since 2019..

For those who are unaware of the outline of James Wilson’s (now-successful) libel case against three defendants (all Jews; in one case, possibly only a part-Jew), the defendants were advised and/or represented by Jewish solicitors and barristers who seem to have been, all or variously, professionally negligent and/or incompetent.

Mark Lewis and Daniel Berke were the main solicitors for the defendants, Beth Grossman of Doughty Street Chambers was the barrister (possibly the only barrister; I do not know, and only heard of her recently, via Wilson’s Twitter/X account and Substack blog).

More Starmer-Labour lies

Plans to give staff the right to ignore bosses’ messages outside of working hours are set to be dropped by the government this week.

The proposal to grant workers a ‘right to switch off’ formed a central part of Sir Keir Starmer‘s manifesto vow to establish a ‘new deal for working people’.

But the policy will be scrapped to reduce the impact on businesses that are preparing for tax increases starting next month as a result of Rachel Reeves’s Budget last autumn. 

Labour had vowed to copy countries such as Belgium, Ireland, and France which allow workers to avoid emails, texts and phone calls received out of hours, without fear of reprisals.

They wanted to introduce the policy following the surge in home-working to prevent Brits’ homes becoming ’24/7 offices’.

However, on Tuesday ministers will confirm that the policy has been dropped from the Employment Rights Bill when they table a series of amendments.

[Daily Mail]

So one of the very few Labour pre-General Election 2024 “pledges” that might actually have helped British people has now been scrapped.

Meanwhile, stupid Starmer is throwing billions of taxpayer money at both “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) and the continuing migration-invasion of the UK.

A “lost” book review or two found

Round about 2010-2011, some Jews, and one in particular, pressured Amazon or its employees to remove my book reviews. At the time, I was a voted-for “top reviewer” (I think, “top 40”, or maybe 50). The Jew (an “IT” worker, whose name and location — now in Ra’anana, Israel— I know) managed to get me barred from reviewing on both Amazon UK and Amazon USA (so much for American “free speech”).

All my reviews, about 700, were removed. Incidentally, 90% of them did not mention Jews, Zionism, or Israel, or indeed the “holocaust” farrago.

However, some were backed-up elsewhere. I have just found some. Here are a couple:

One picture is worth a thousand words, in the well-worn phrase. For me, one personal account is worth any number of accounts written by people decades later and purporting to be “true stories”. The same goes for histories of a time in which the historian has not lived. This is why history is a moveable feast.

In this book, the author (at time of publication still living prosperously in Switzerland) is a Jewish teenage boy whose parents had emigrated from the Ukraine after the Revolution. His father started a mineral water plant in Berlin. With the coming of Hitler,the NSDAP and the Third Reich, trading and living conditions became gradually more difficult for Jews in the Reich, though most remained.

The book (in an Afterword) gives statistics about Jewish emigration from Germany in the 1930s, which show that in the early and mid 1930s the exodus was in the region of, initially, a few tens of thousands per year, that despite the fact that the Reich government encouraged Jews to emigrate (but required most of their property or gains to be left behind).

The author was, in 1941, in a countryside “camp” (actually, in a normal building) run by a Jewish organization under supervision of the Reich authorities. The “camp” was in fact composed of young Jewish persons who were expected to do a bit of grasscutting, treefelling etc. He was not under guard and in fact wandered around the country observing this and that. Though once arrested, he spent only one night in custody before being sent back to his temporary home.

The author wanted to be a graphic designer and in fact even in 1941 had been enrolled in an art school reserved for Jews in Berlin.

The above facts seem unremarkable, yet one has to remember that, today, most people in the UK, USA etc, if they think about the point at all, would think that either when Hitler took power (1933) or at least when war broke out ((1939) such a person would be hunted down and placed in a real camp; but no! Here we are in 1941 and the author himself,a Jew and, it seems, a Zionist, at that, tells a different and to my mind wholly credible story.

However, the situation of the author became much worse in 1942. His father was arrested, it seems for something to do with black market butter. There were plans afoot for Jews to be deported to the East: Britain and France, among other countries (Switzerland, USA) had been unwilling to accept the bulk of Jewish deportees from the Reich throughout the 1930s and the idea of sending the Jewish population to either Palestine or Madagascar had been blocked by the colonial powers (the British Empire and France). The book tells of how the initial mustering of the Jewish population in Berlin was done without guards, without Gestapo, without SS, by Jewish officials appointed by the Jewish/Zionist authorities.

The author lived for a while as an “exempted” worker in a factory but then decided he had to take the plunge and live illegally. He was helped by his facility in forging passes and letters and by the fact that he did not look particularly Semitic. He even went beyond survival and started to forge documents for an anti-Hitler group which included some well-connected persons who were part-Jews allowed to live relatively unmolested in large villas around the capital and elsewhere.

Finally, in 1943, the author made his bid for freedom, using his non-Jewish looks, forged passes and other documents and a bicycle (Jews were, at least notionally, forbidden to own them) to get to that part of Germany which abuts Switzerland. He escaped across a stream and was, after a couple of days, given not only asylum but a grant on which he might lived while studying.

The author makes no claims to sainthood and indeed few to victimhood, but just tells his own story honestly (I think) and clearly.

Well worth reading.

[Title of book reviewed now unknown to me]

Another book review

Anarchism is a very wide church, ranging from the philosophic and spiritual to the downright criminal. The high-minded anarchism comes largely from (Prince) Kropotkin, whose 19th Century opposition to Tsarism resulted in exile in London (he was a Governor of the Bromley Girls’ High School, still a leading fee-paying college) and in several books, of which Fields Factories and Workshops Tomorrow, and Mutual Aid, are the best known (he opposed social Darwinism by preferring social symbiosis, having observed the latter in the animal and plant worlds). The more criminal stream came from almost mindlessly angry bombers like Bakunin. I have to say that while Christie shows elements of both in his psychology, he is nearer to the latter, as he implies in this book.

Christie details his attempt, as a young fool (which I think he would admit!) to kill Franco in 1964, smuggling explosives in his kilt from France. Carry On Up The Caudillo! In the end the efficient Spanish security service obviously had a traitor in the anarchist ranks; Christie was arrested and could have been garrotted under the cruel Spanish death penalty regime of the time. In the end he was sentenced to 12 years and spent about three years in custody. I was interested to see that (comparing his account with those of people in British prisons of the time) he was in fact treated better under the Fascist “regime” (government) than he would have been in the UK. I was also interested to read how he realized in prison that people of a very different political stamp (ex-SS, OAS members etc) were people whom he could like and respect.

What I like about Christie is his honesty. It is palpable. And I think that overall he is a decent person. I liked his distaste for bullfighting. He could not understand how his anarchistic “comrades” in prison enjoyed it. He is blind to obvious racial-cultural differences in the world. His faults? Well, naivety, firstly. Even in the 1970’s, he seems to have believed that the population of the UK were thirsting for a revolutionary change, whereas in fact they all (well, mostly) either voted for stodgy Labourism or for Mrs Thatcher! I used to occasionally read his Black Flag newspaper circa 1976 and must have been one of a very small reading public for him! He seems to have been (and is still in this book) obsessed with the supposed evils of Franco, but ignores a few facts: the Republicans in the Civil War (Communists and Anarchists etc) killed, tortured and raped to a far worse extent than Franco’s Nationalists; after the Civil War ended in 1939, Franco erected a monument to ALL the fallen; Franco released most of the imprisoned enemies after a few years (Christie admits this aspect); Franco managed to keep Spain out of WW2 (though a Fascist, he was half-Jewish and more or less stabbed his benefactor, Hitler, in the back by failing to join with the Axis. And had Christie (even in post-WW2 Red Clydeside) never heard of Stalin and the Soviet labour camps etc?

Christie strikes me as a kind of fairly simple-minded fellow, who in Cromwellian days would have been a Leveller or something similar. Under other circumstances one could even see him as, perhaps, a Jehovah’s Witness or the like.

Worth reading.

Incidentally, both Wikipedia, and Christie’s Guardian obit, say that he was sentenced to 20 years in Spain (Wikipedia probably simply copying the newspaper version). I am pretty sure it was 12, not 20. Still, no matter now. Franco released him after about 3 years, after Christie’s mother wrote to Franco requesting clemency.

I occasionally read Christie’s newspaper, Black Flag, among many and various other journals, when I was a 19-y-o living in London in 1976.

Despite Christie’s pitifully-poor level of socio-political understanding, his was a name with which to conjure in 1976. I recall meeting a small group of anarchists, 3 or 4, in a pub in Maidenhead (no less!) that year, and his name was uttered by them with a mixture of awe and slight trepidation (because he was thought to attract the attention of the police).

Christie died in 2020.

Ha ha! Julia Hartley-Brewer is a complete idiot politically and, I suspect, generally. An ignorant radio loudmouth.

I always thought Boris Johnson’s am-dram portrayal of “Churchill reborn” ludicrous, and referred to it on the blog as, in the sense of Marx’s famous dictum (from The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon), “First time tragedy, second time farce“, but STARMER?! Ha ha!

Were I to say what I think should happen to Starmer and his cabal, I expect I should have the toytown police and poundland Stasi at my door (again), and that is just too boring, so I shall let my dear readers read between the lines, as happens in every police state.

Good news, making a Russia-USA nuclear war less likely.

Talking point

Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and mechanical products, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalised and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism.”

Stray thought

The “Stavka” (Russian High Command) must now not only redouble its present attritional efforts in Eastern Ukraine, presently already achieving a gradual and steady advance, but formulate a plan to break through to, first, Kharkov, then Kiev. Tanks and drones, in huge numbers. 2025 and 2026.

Wolves are remarkable creatures in many ways. If attacked, they kill their badly-wounded comrades so that they cannot fall alive into the hands of cruel enemies.

Social nationalism can still triumph.

[“At the end stands Victory!“]

Certainly puts the posturing of NWO/ZOG puppets such as Macron and Starmer in perspective.

The UK has, officially, about 70,000 men (and women, who are about 10% of the whole) in its army, but only about 5,000-10,000 truly ready to be deployed anywhere where they (may) have to fight. Germany is little better off, if at all. France has, officially, about 118,000 soldiers but only a minority are fighting troops (including the Foreign Legion).

Even if UK, France, Germany were to deploy a total of, say, 50,000 to Ukraine, that would only slow, not stop, Russian advances, would eventually kill most of the troops so deployed, and might lead to an actual war between Russia and western Europe, which Russia could not lose, were it to go nuclear (and with the USA standing back from the fight).

Incredible that 47% of the American public still “trust” Zelensky! In the UK? Don’t know, but the TV and Press coverage, (((you-know-who))), is unremittingly pro-Zel, so that is a major factor.

A very small area, but such advances are now a daily occurrence.

Those tweets are about the negligent and also dishonest conduct of the Israel-based (but also with foothold in London) solicitor, Mark Lewis.

Wilson was the successful claimant in the 2024 libel trial of Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor. Newbon, an unpleasant social media troll, killed himself during the litigation, while Cantor will probably now lose his family home by reason of the negligence and dishonesty of “Mark Lewis Lawyer”.

I wonder whether Lewis has scuttled away (again) to Israel, no doubt complaining (again) about British “antisemitism”…

Ukraine and NATO

I am still seeing a few drunken Westminster Bubblers tweeting about how the only “solution” is for “Ukraine” (Kiev-regime Ukraine) to “be in NATO“.

Utterly asinine. Ukraine cannot join NATO for both formal and Realpolitik reasons.

Formal reasons (under the provisions of the NATO Treaty) include the fact that Ukraine itself claims that part of its territory has been invaded and is under foreign occupation; also, that a war (albeit never formally declared) currently exists between Ukraine and a foreign state. Also, because acceptance of a state into the NATO alliance requires unanimous approval of existing member-states.

The USA will never accept Ukraine into NATO, not so long as Trump is President; neither did Biden green-light the Kiev-regime’s repeated requests. A number of other states will also blackball Ukraine— Hungary for one, probably Italy, possibly Germany; maybe others too.

As to the Realpolitik reasons why Ukraine cannot join NATO, avoidance of war between NATO and Russia is the main one; also, the fact that, to date, Russia is winning the war that already exists.
