LibDems are just wastes of space. There may be exceptions, but I have not seen any. Ed Davey is only marginally better than was Jo Swinson, and she was rock-bottom in every respect.
Even the old Liberal Party was mostly ludicrous in the post-WW1 (let alone post-WW2) era, though Jo Grimond was an exception: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Grimond.
As to the LibDem chances in the upcoming 2024 General Election, I may be wrong but think them overestimated by commentators. Admittedly, many voters who despise the present Government and who see nothing in Starmer-Labour for which to vote may be looking for a protest vote, and some (those who do not favour Reform UK, the Green Party, or simple abstention may choose the LibDems, but I think not very many.
There are presently-Con seats where Labour has no chance, but where the LibDems often roll in second. Those seats may go LibDem, especially if Labour voters vote tactically. I cannot see the LibDems getting more than 10% overall (2019— 11.6%).
In both 2017 and 2015, the LibDems got below 8% after the years of Con Coalition. There is no possibility for the LibDems to revisit the 23% they achieved in 2010. “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time” [Abraham Lincoln].
However, what matters in UK Parliamentary politics is not the overall percentage, but the percentage concentrated in particular seats, which is why, in 2015, UKIP received 12.6% of the vote but only the one seat it already had, whereas the LibDems received a mere 7.9%, yet retained 8 MPs.
So it may yet be that, in the end, even on an overall 10%, the LibDems, who currently have only 15 MPs, will able to double or even treble their Commons strength.
Meanwhile, if Reform UK gets, nationwide, the same, or even 15%, it will probably end up still without any MPs.
The present pseudo-democratic system is a bad joke.

“Kiev’s air defense forces are exhausted, and the West is in no hurry to help – Financial Times.
In the absence of new tranches of military assistance from the United States and the European Union, Ukraine is increasingly concerned that Ukrainian military personnel and military and industrial facilities may be vulnerable to Russian airstrikes, writes the Financial Times.
As Russia intensifies its campaign to strike energy infrastructure and other targets in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky called on Western allies to approve new military aid packages to bolster Kyiv’s depleted air defense capabilities.
According to Zelensky, there are not enough air defense systems both on the battlefield and for the defense of targets in Ukrainian cities. Kiev admits that Russia “controls the sky.”
At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces hope that Ukraine’s receipt of American-made F-16 fighters will put an end to the dominance of the Russian air force and help resume the counteroffensive, which has so far failed to achieve any significant successes.“
Not so many people want to be bothered by real problems, let alone real solutions. The masses want to be distracted by winning or losing sports games on the other side of the world, the latest soap trash on TV, the latest “reality” (unreality) TV show, or whatever.
Also, there are huge numbers of idiots virtue-signalling online or otherwise about how it is “kind” or “decent” to allow a million, or ten million migrant-invaders into the UK, or a hundred million if it comes to that. We have already had ten million, over 20+ years.
Those “virtue-signallers”, the “refugees welcome” dimwits etc are lacking the intellectual honesty to admit that that means the end of our basically decent European society, and the end of opportunities for most British people. It also means a housing crisis, a transport and roads crisis, a gradually-worsening NHS, gradually-sinking (in real terms) pay, State benefits, pensions etc, as well as educational standards falling through the floor.

The little Indian money-juggler must be well-aware that most voters (even former Conservative voters) view the state of the country as terrible and getting worse.
If a general election is held “now” or soon, i.e. sometime in Spring 2024, the Conservative Party MP-cadre may be all but wiped out— possibly with only about 50 MPs left, though maybe 100 or, if Sunak is exceptionally lucky, 150.
If, on the other hand, the 2024 General Election is delayed until the winter of 2024, the state of the UK will almost inevitably be yet worse, and therefore the popularity of the (supposedly) governing Con Party will be even lower.
The usual stresses on NHS, transport etc will be even more severe, and the international situation may place greater stresses on the economy. Added to those factors, the migration-invasion will have continued for another year (nearly). On those premises, the Con Party may face not only the possibility but the probability that it will be reduced to something like 50 MPs.
It seems to me, therefore, that the GE will take place in late Summer or early Autumn, before the cold weather again arrives. So about 6-9 months from now. That gives time for Labour to make mistakes.
Even so, it seems unlikely (even in the “glorious uncertainty” of the UK electoral system) that the Conservative Party can hope for an MP-cadre much if at all higher than 100; certainly no more than 150. 150 would be bad for the Con Party (similar, though worse, to 1997 and 2001), whereas 100 or fewer would be seen as disastrous.
For me, perhaps for others in the social-national milieu, the main thing is to break the whole binary electoral system, which presents, every 4-5 years, a false choice to the electorate.
If the Conservative Party is trashed in the 2024 General Election, Labour will be able to form an elected dictatorship even worse than under Blair and Brown. That will lead to popular discontent (when it fails to address the several major challenges facing the UK), with the people even more eager to embrace a new way forward under a new political party or movement, and with the small rump Conservative Party having no credibility as an alternative government.

Ha ha! Not that I myself would do the same (regular readers of the blog will know that I recently joined the convict classes, having made the mistake of thinking that England still had left at least some free speech or freedom of expression).
The American incident reported upon above reminds me of another incident, which happened when I was a Bar pupil (trainee barrister). That must have been in 1992.
The case involved two West Indians alleged to have robbed a petrol station in NW London, using a machete. They had been arrested the same evening, not very long afterwards, in the (alleged) getaway car.
There were oddities in the evidence. The car had been searched following the stop. No money or weapons had been found. Later, at the police station, a further search revealed a wad of cash. A week later, a further search “discovered” a container full of coins (allegedly from the filling station) and a machete. The allegation from the defendants was that everything had been planted.
In fact, though I did not know said little twerp barrister, I recognized him, having been on the Bar Finals course with him (and hundreds of others) in 1987-88. I however had gone to the USA a while after that, so had not been Called to the (English) Bar until 1991; I also qualified at and was Admitted to the Bar of the State of New York.
All this took place at Wood Green Crown Court. As a Bar pupil, in 1992, I was there fairly frequently.
[Wood Green Crown Court, North London]
Both defendants were in custody, having been refused bail prior to trial.
The evidence against the defendants was non-existent, save for that “found” in the car. There was no cctv evidence, no fingerprint evidence, no DNA evidence (this was in 1992, and such evidence was still in its infancy). The (apparently) diminutive Indian cashier in the petrol station had been terrified, and gave no testimony. Neither did the defendants.
Despite the paucity of evidence, the jury came back with “Guilty” verdicts. There was a moment of silence. A member of the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad then gave the judge a rundown of the previous most relevant convictions of the defendants. The judge knew most of that already, as did Counsel, but of course the jury did not. There were gasps as the long list of increasingly-serious convictions was read out, topped finally by the information that the defendants still faced another upcoming trial in which they would stand accused (at the Old Bailey) of conspiring to rob building society branches, armed with sawn-off shotguns.
The judge listened patiently while, for 20 minutes, little twerp barrister attempted to mitigate. My pupilmaster declined to attempt any mitigation. The judge then sentenced the two to exactly the same term— 5 years each.
Another moment of silence preceded an explosion from the dock (behind us) as the defendants shouted out (to the jury) “YOU DOGS! YOU FUCKING WHITE DOGS!“.
The jury members (in fact not all white, there being one black woman and at least one Indian) quailed; I thought that one woman jury member might faint or cry out, though she bravely sat it out. The little twerp Counsel looked nervously over his shoulder, as did my pupilmaster. I had also looked round as the outburst had happened, but now pretended to be writing (in order to seem stoic, I think, pointless and perhaps ludicrous as that was).
The defendants then tried to fight their way out of and over the dock. The judge pressed his concealed button but stayed seated. His face was that “Judicial Livid” (red/purple) that I later saw once or twice at the High Court when a judge did not wholly appreciate my argument…
After a lot of banging, thudding, and swearing, the defendants were subdued by the two prison guards accompanying them. Other court security people then entered the courtroom. The defendants were taken down (to the cells below).
Just a day in the life, as they say.

That, if it were to happen, might trigger a Russian response of such a kind, and on such a scale, that a major regional war, or even a world war, might in turn then be triggered; so not a very intelligent suggestion. Or is that what the System wants to happen?
“The conflict between Zelensky and Zaluzhny is growing in Kiev: no one wants to take responsibility for the new law on mobilization.
The Financial Times again writes about the conflict between the political and military elites in Ukraine.
It is connected with the upcoming draft law on mobilization, within the framework of which it is planned to conscript at least 500 thousand people into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“Neither side appears willing to take full responsibility for conscripting hundreds of thousands of possibly reluctant Ukrainians to serve in a grim, grueling war,” writes FT columnist Ben Hall.”
The Kiev regime has run out of soldiers after the huge number killed, badly wounded, or captured. Zelensky’s cabal is trying to call up people over 40, over 50, even over 60. Also, some disabled people and those who care for them. The conscription or draft offices are riddled with corruption (bribery to avoid being drafted), and the main reason many have escaped Ukraine to Western and Central Europe is to avoid military service.
In the longer term, Ukraine as a “state” (failed state) has no future in terms of demographics. Young men are either fighting, or have been killed, or are hors de combat by reason of injury or capture. Others are overseas, as are huge numbers of Ukrainian women (and children).
The result is a rapidly-ageing population, and so also a declining population.

They eventually divorced (Carr died in 2018, at the early age of 50).

Horses for courses. There are places, there are parts of the world, where you cannot rely on the police to respond. In much of Europe, including the UK, that is not (yet) the case, but in the UK the situation is clearly deteriorating. The police are attending fewer and fewer incidents and/or reported crimes.
The forces of the Kiev regime may be able to launch missile attacks such as that on a Crimean port overnight, but the bigger picture is that the Kiev regime’s summer counter-offensive got nowhere and achieved nothing, that the Kiev-regime forces are rapidly running out of ammunition despite huge shipments from USA, UK etc, and that the Kiev regime is now very short of recruits, having to employ ever-more persistent press-gangs; Kiev is now asking EU states to repatriate Ukrainians living in the EU, so that the repatriated people can be put straight into uniform.
Russia is upgrading its heavy weaponry, building ever-more tanks, planes, and missiles. The summer of 2024 may see a general Russian advance which will overwhelm the ragged and exhausted Kiev-regime defences in Ukraine east of the Dnieper.
Even if that does not happen, the Kiev-regime forces cannot themselves advance. They have not the arms, ammunition, or men with which to do that. Their best possibility is to hold the line where it is.
The transnational conspiracy has had its support for the Zelensky regime sidetracked by the Gaza conflict; that is especially true of the USA. Zelensky and his cabal may be able to ban opposition parties, to arrest those opposed to war with Russia, to ban trade unions, and to refuse to hold elections, but what the Zelensky group cannot to is magic into existence more soldiers, more arms, and more ammunition.
The foreign mercenaries and other volunteers have mostly gone home now, those not captured or killed. The Kiev regime now seems to be paying mercenaries from countries with low living standards, such as Peru. Their pay is low. Still, you get what you pay for, quite often.
I doubt that many “contract soldiers”, even from regions such as South America, will now be applying to become casualty statistics in the Kiev regime’s failing war.
My assessment is that Russia is biding its time. That may mean no 2024 offensive (though, to the contrary, one may be launched in order to demoralize the all-important backers and “generous” suppliers of the Kiev regime in the EU and North America).
In the USA, the Presidential election may bring to power a President hostile to more support for the Zelensky regime. Trump is only the main possibility; there are others. Likewise in the EU. “Populist” parties are in the ascendant. Most do not want to funnel endless taxpayer funding to the ungrateful and failing Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.
The conflict in the Palestine/Israel region, which has now spread southward to the Red Sea, is already impacting EU trade lines.
Economically, Russia is thriving, overall. While the West generally, and especially the EU, is faltering economically, Russia is doing fairly well. As I predicted 18+ months ago, the sanctions imposed have forced Russia to both diversify and to find other suppliers of food and raw materials. Sanctions rarely have huge, certainly not decisive effect anyway. I myself saw that when, aged 20, I was in Rhodesia (in 1977).
Ukraine (Kiev regime) is, by contrast, not thriving; it only keeps going by reason of the money and other support and aid supplied from outside. Its agriculture is finding export difficult, and some markets closed or restricted. The industrial sector is running at a low level. Electricity supplies are interrupted, and gas supplies more so.
In the long run, what will sink Ukraine as a state (failed state) is the very low birth-rate, combined with the huge numbers of Ukrainians now living in a number of EU states and elsewhere. In the short-term, the ranks of the army are not being replaced.
Russia will win (in Eastern Ukraine), and the NWO will retreat.

Looking at the bigger picture, this is but one of the terrible consequences of decolonization in Africa (etc) from the 1950s through to the 1970s. That process was itself a consequence of the disaster of WW2 and the even more disastrous defeat of the German Reich.
Who now —save for the ignorant and/or brainwashed— can doubt that the post-WW2 ending of European rule over Africa has resulted in war, civil wars, degradation of the environment, and misery for the Africans themselves, as well as irreparable loss of wildlife and tree cover?

Not a particularly original or surprising thought (or two), but never mind…
I happened to see, a day or two ago, a Celebrity Chase quiz show, I think first shown several years ago. Nadine Dorries.
Hard to understand why Nadine Dorries was on a quiz show, except for the fact that, though any money won goes to a chosen charity, the contestants are paid (how much, I do not know; I presume somewhere around £1,000).
I cannot now recall the exact questions asked of Nadine Dorries, but she knew very few of the answers, and was quickly knocked out. Her ignorance was, even for a cynic such as myself, almost beyond belief.
The above experience once more led to thoughts of how MPs now really are the bottom of the barrel. Compare them to the better type of MP from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s. Jo Grimond, the one-time Liberal leader, for example. A very erudite man who had also served in WW2 as an officer, and been a barrister. His memoirs are well worth reading, incidentally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Grimond.
Not that I agree with all of his views, and the same would be even more true of Denis Healey [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Healey], but these people had character, depth, real erudition, and were not simply self-serving careerists.
Compare them to (ex-MP) Nadine Dorries, to “Boris” Johnson, to Corbyn, to Keir Starmer, to Jo Swinson (a later LibDem leader of sorts), to Liz Truss, to Sunak, Matt Hancock etc… Among many many others.
Whatever method is chosen for selecting or electing MPs, Cabinet and other ministers etc, is of secondary importance. Prime importance must be given to the quality of those selected. In darker moments, I tend to think that the fall in overall quality of MPs just reflects the decline and/or degeneration of the society from which they have emerged.
Incidentally, on that Celebrity Chase show, Nadine Dorries claimed that she was the only MP not claiming expenses (in fact, she just meant certain “personal” expenses). Also, that she was campaigning to end MP expenses! The presenter was too polite (or short of time) to retort that she had already been caught actually cheating on her expenses several times, and had only just escaped prosecution: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Dorries#Expenses_claims.
Zionism and Jews in the UK
Look at the tweet below, from the malicious Jew-Zionist cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]:
To those gentilesplaining that “anti-Zionism is not antisemitism”, our representative polling of British Jews has found that only 6% are not Zionists, and 97% feel personally connected to events unfolding in Israel.
Yet we constantly see or hear, from Jew-Zionist “activists” (troublemakers), that Jews in the UK have nothing to do with Israel or what Israel is now doing to the people of Gaza…
We also see or hear that “criticism of Israel is legitimate, but any criticism of Jews is ‘antisemitic’ and (they claim) not legitimate“.
The “CAA’s” own survey indicates that at least 80% of Jews in the UK are content to accept the label “Zionist”, and that no less than 88% of them feel “personally connected” to whatever is happening in Israel.
Also, note the derogatory term “gentilesplaining“: in other words, non-Jews cannot say anything about Jews (but Jews can —and do— say the most insulting things about British and other European cultures and peoples).

Late thought about Ukraine
UK television news full of the Kiev-regime attack on the Russian ship, and saying that Russia is losing the battle in the Black Sea. Well, the Kiev regime no longer has a navy at all.
Naturally, the loss of a large ship, even a supply ship, is very bad but, the very same day, Russian forces took what is left of the city of Mariinka in the Donbass. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67820916.
That is where the war is happening, on the ground in Eastern Ukraine. Russia is slowly winning there.
As for the attack on the ship, already the biased commentators on Sky News etc are heralding the dawn of a Kiev-regime strategic advantage in the Black Sea which does not exist.
In the final analysis, and if push came to shove, Russia could totally flatten Kiev and all other cities of Ukraine, if the leadership were so to decide. What is stopping that is firstly, that Moscow and Kiev were the centrepieces of Russian life for many centuries and, secondly, the fact that Russia is slowly winning this war.
Russia, though, is still one of the two main nuclear powers, and also has awesome conventional destructive capability. In extremis, that power could be unleashed. Kiev should be talking to Moscow about redrawing borders.

For the sake of such “success,” the Kiev regime destroyed almost 160 thousand military personnel, hundreds of tanks and aircraft, and never overcame the tactical defense of the Russian Armed Forces.”
2024 will see, by grace of God, a general Russian advance across Eastern Ukraine; an advance to, and northward along, the Dnieper, and then towards the Kiev area. If so, that may precipitate a collapse of the Zelensky dictatorship.

“American aircraft carriers will not scare anyone in the Middle East, says Ritter.
Washington sent two aircraft carrier groups to the Mediterranean and Red Sea. But their presence will not change the situation in the Middle East and will not impress adversaries, US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.
In his opinion, the forces that the Pentagon is deploying in the region will not be able to have a significant impact on the brewing hostilities. They will not be able to intimidate Iran, Hezbollah, or even the militants who are launching attacks on American bases in Iraq and Syria.
“This is just posturing. In this way, the United States is trying to create the appearance of activity, while behind the scenes it is desperately trying to get Israel to defuse the situation and not invade the Gaza Strip,” Ritter explained.”

We are now learning that between 3000-4000 Palestinians came from Gaza to commit the massacres and NOT all were members of the Hamas terror organization. That means regular Gazans came with Hamas and committed these brutalities. What kind of society breeds people who behave like…
If some Gazans are monstrous, they have been made monstrous, and made so by Israel, by Israeli Jews, almost all of which undertake military service, including keeping the Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza and other parts of former Palestine.
The Israeli narrative now is, in effect, “Hamas operatives entered southern Israel a few weeks ago, killing hundreds of Israelis. Most of the attackers were killed or captured, but we have bombed and rocketed, and will now continue to rocket and bomb, Gaza, killing tens of thousands directly. We have also switched off most supplies to Gaza of water, food, electricity, and gas, which may kill hundreds of thousands directly and indirectly. We also intend to use poison gas.

“Ukrainians demand answers from Zelensky about missing soldiers, writes New York Times Last week, hundreds of Ukrainians who came to Kyiv from different parts of the country staged a demonstration near the office of Vladimir Zelensky.
Those gathered chanted his name and demanded that he bring their loved ones home from the front, writes The New York Times. The protest was a “rare display” of discontent.
Despite the fact that cemeteries across Ukraine are steadily filling up, there is almost no open criticism of the authorities’ actions. But the pain and losses accumulate, the publication notes. Relatives of missing Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are growing increasingly frustrated that the government, which fears a decline in morale in society, is unable to give them concrete answers.
Some demonstrators admitted to The New York Times that they had been trying to obtain this information for more than a year without success, and asked reporters to write down the names of their sons.”

We received a threat via phone call from the Israeli occupation threatening the destruction of the main Gaza Municipality building in Palestine Square.
We confirm that the main municipal building is the headquarters of the main administration of the municipality, and it is a building that was built about 200 years ago.
The building contains the city’s documents and archives, and implementing the occupation’s threats to bomb it would plunge the city into a state of great chaos.
We call on all international and humanitarian organizations to intervene urgently and curb the occupation.”

While I doubt that Aaron Bastani, Ash Sarkar etc are themselves proponents of a “free society” anyway, the fact is that an editor, a Jew at that, has been dismissed for noting the callousness of (I presume, not having read the material) Israel and the Jews and others outside Israel who regard the victims of the attack on the Gaza “Ghetto” as “collateral damage”, in some cases expressly.
You see that attitude in tweets by some of the unpleasant Jews in the UK prolific on Twitter/X.
The editor in question lives and works in the USA, with its supposed regard for “free speech”. However, as I have blogged in the past, while that U.S. Constitutional protection may save someone from being arrested and/or prosecuted, it does not save someone from being dismissed from a job, or removed from a profession (perhaps), and so (in a finance-capitalist society) possibly losing his place of abode, quite possibly also his family life etc.
Needless to say, the mainstream media, publishing etc are completely owned or controlled by Jews in the USA (and UK, for that matter), and even where not, strongly influenced by Jew-Zionism.

Basically both a parasite and a criminal. A completely useless individual from the point of view of British society.
That is one migrant-invader out of literally millions. She has been sheltered and fed (etc) by the British people (through their taxes), and now large further monies have been spent on her investigation, prosecution, trial, defence, possible appeal, and costs of imprisonment. Then, after her eventual release, more monies spent on her shelter, food, etc. That is only ONE migrant-invader, out of millions.
The best you can hope for is that they are just useless; many are far worse.
The present mainly white Northern European UK population will be, within a few decades, a mainly black/brown/Chinese (etc) population, ruled over by finance-capitalist cabals (mainly Jewish or mixed Jew/white), as provided for in the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.
Britain has no decent future with such a population and society.

The Israelis say that they have proven that Hamas has been using some areas in or below hospitals in Gaza as HQ and staff centres, and that that fact (if it is a fact) gives Israel the right to flatten such hospitals (after —sometimes— telephoning a hypocritical “warning”).
Decent people(s) would of course still not bomb such hospitals, knowing that civilians, many of them mere children, are there. The Israelis not only “disagree”; I do not think that they (and their Jewish supporters in countries such as the UK) actually see the inhumanity in that reasoning.
As someone once put it, “the simulacrum of the human“…
“Police officers quizzed a pensioner in her home on suspicion of a hate crime after she stopped in the street to take a photo of a sticker which said: ‘Keep males out of women-only spaces.’
The sticker had been placed on to a LGBT+ pride poster which had the slogan Stand By Your Trans. Officers told the 73-year-old retired social worker that she had been identified from CCTV footage.
The woman told The Mail on Sunday she was ‘in a state of shock’ when officers arrived at her door. The incident happened in Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire – the setting for BBC crime drama Happy Valley about no-nonsense policewoman Catherine Cawood. It comes after fury over police forces failing to send officers to investigate burglaries and other serious crimes.“
“West Yorkshire Police said it had recorded the matter as a ‘non-crime hate incident’, adding: ‘Words of advice were given regarding the placing of the sticker, as it was reported to have caused offence.‘
“Stella O’Malley, psychotherapist and founder of international group Genspect, said: ‘It’s not the job of the police to decide that taking a photo is a hate crime.‘”
[Daily Mail]
The UK’s toytown police once again caught enforcing the emergent “woke” police state.
Note the defiant attitude of the West Yorkshire police box-tickers when challenged, though. A bland refusal to engage.
The West Yorkshire Police seem to have missed the recent comments of both H.M. Inspector of Constabulary and those of the Home Secretary, to the effect that police should start to do their proper job, and stop acting like a poundland KGB (regular readers of the blog will be aware that I have had similar problems with the “plodosphere”…).
Strange. Having yesterday evening, on my birthday, finished the remains of a half-bottle of vintage Tokay, I was just recalling what happened to many of the secret police in Hungary during the Uprising of 1956 (the year of my own birth). It was not pleasant for them…
Wouldn’t you know it? The Jew Shapps whining about how “his family” (ancestors, a century and a half ago) were victims of “antisemitism”. Was that in Ukraine?
If all those people rebelling against the ULEZ nonsense were to cover up their registration numbers, then drive out at the same time or on the same day, the police and ULEZ enforcers would have to admit defeat (cf. Berlin Wall, 1989).
Interesting. However, London has probably never been so well-interconnected as it now is.
I notice that, had those 1940s plans been implemented, even the area north of Reigate (Surrey), where I —intermittently— lived in the late 1970s and early 1980s, would have been within 2-3 miles of the proposed Underground stations of Kingswood and Tadworth, which are now still only on the ordinary railway (Tattenham Corner line).
Britain needs a fixed period of maybe 5-10 years, in which time Parliament must be suspended and this country sorted-out by a social-national dictatorship. Whatever it takes.

A few thoughts
Just saw on Sky News that no less than 872 migrant-invader bastards crossed the Channel in small boats yesterday (meaning, mostly, travelled a few miles in small or fairly small boats before being picked up and ferried to Dover by the Border “Farce” and/or RNLI).
So…872 useless and possibly dangerous parasites, likely criminals, possible terrorist sympathisers etc…
Those 872 bastards have to be (meaning, will be) sheltered, housed, clothed, fed, given pocket money in or by English towns and villages, provided with medical and dental services, provided with translators, interpreter, and legal services, at a cost of at least £200 per person per day. Minimum. Probably closer to £500 per person per day.
The “refugees welcome” dimwits are often the same people who complain that services, pay, benefits for (real) British people are being cut. Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad…
The pro-invasion dimwits cannot see, apparently, the connection between literally millions of invaders (both “legal” and “illegal”) over the past years and decades, and the shortages of housing, NHS services, and the rest. About 10 million migrant-invaders over 30 years (including births in the UK to —mostly non-white— migrants).
I believe that relatively few people can see the horror that awaits Britain only a few short decades down the line. Dystopia and civil war.

Frankly, that situation makes the UK more secure from nuclear attack, as things stand.
This concrete thing could be the final straw for the Tories. Everything in Britain feels like it’s going wrong and now we can’t even be sure our schools, hospitals and courtrooms won’t collapse around us. As a narrative of complacent decline it could hardly be more on the nose.
…and it turns out that the person most responsible for allowing it to happen was the snivelling little drunk and cocaine abuser (and expenses fraudster) Michael Gove, another Jewish-lobby puppet. It was a tweet about that little bastard which was one of merely five that resulted in my wrongful and unlawful disbarment (at the instigation of a pack of Jews) in 2016.
As the above tweeter says, though, this does feel somehow symptomatic of the complacent negligence and “where will they go?” casual entitlement (and accompanying casual social brutality to the poor, sick, disabled, unemployed etc) which has characterized politics in this country since 2010.
There is no popular enthusiasm for, nor even any solid support for, the Labour Party under Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, but in a basically binary system which excludes other parties, the voters are left with a stale choice. On that basis, this doomed Government is sliding to defeat, surely. What kind or magnitude of defeat, though, is still an open question.
Historical sidelight
In online open-source research into one or two characters, I discovered that there was a serious offer by Japan, sometime in 1944-45, and made to Swedish diplomats, for Japan to stop fighting, and to relinquish not only all territorial gains made since 1940, but even its (post-1931) rulership over parts of northeastern and eastern China: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widar_Bagge.
Had that offer been taken seriously by the UK and USA, it would not only have saved innumerable lives on all sides intra-theatre, but would have rendered the atomic bomb attacks on Japan in 1945 unnecessary.
I can only suppose that the Allied leadership wanted Japan to be crushed, and then remade in the Western image, as indeed it later was, as part of the post-1945 restructuring of the international order.

The rest of Western Ukraine can become a rump state based on Lvov.

There is no question of any breakthrough of the first line of defense in the Zaporozhye region by Ukrainian troops, the Russian army is holding its positions , said the president of the Zaporozhye movement "Together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov.
Having said that, and acting as advocatus diaboli, let us suppose that the Kiev regime is speaking the truth for once. Let us suppose that the first line of defence (of, apparently, four) laid down by Russian forces has been breached. Let us suppose, further, that Kiev-regime forces can exploit that breach. Let us even suppose that they can breach all four defensive lines. What then?
The Kiev regime does not have the quantum of armour and infantry to breach all four defensive lines and then go on to take the major towns and cities of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Still less can the depleted Ukrainian Army go further, to invade the vast spaces of European Russia proper (which would anyway be a farcical repeat of the mistakes of both Napoleon and Hitler).
All that can happen, the most that can happen, is for the Ukrainian (Kiev-regime) forces to breach the defensive lines, then somehow hold on and bring up artillery with which to attack the civilian towns and cities in the Donetsk/Lugansk regions held by Russian forces (and now designated by them as part of Russia).
Russia has overwhelming air power, still mostly unused. Then there are its missiles. Soon winter will come to Ukraine, sometime in November, so within 2 months from now. Once the ground is hard, the Russian armour will come into its own.
I had thought that the much-trumpeted “Ukrainian counter-offensive” had already failed. It may be that, in one small southern sector of the overall front, that is not so, and that the Kiev-regime forces are still advancing slowly. Perhaps,; but for how long?
I think that, on the high-command level and above, the Russians are waiting to see what happens politically; in the USA, and in EU states as well. A change of US President may mean a change of attitude, and a change of policy.
If the 2024 US Presidential Election results in a President who continues the open-chequebook support for Zelensky and his cabal, Russia may take the gloves off, and destroy totally the rear areas from where the Ukrainian soldiers and their logistical support come. Kiev etc.

The Kiev regime cannot defeat Russian forces on the battlefield, and any attempt to bomb Russian cities heavily will result in a response so devastating that, after such response, Kiev, Kharkov and other cities may be completely destroyed. The most the Kiev regime can hope for is to be allowed to withdraw to Lvov and to rule over a rump inland “Ukraine” state from there.
One notices that the 2022 and early 2023 UK TV talking heads and alleged “experts”, ex-British Army officers and newspaper scribblers, all predicting Russian collapse and “Ukrainian” (Kiev regime) victory (in one case, even a Ukrainian advance to Moscow!), have disappeared from the TV screens, or are being very reticent now.
