Diary Blog, 13 November 2024, including a few thoughts about proportional representation, and about Starmer-Labour’s lack of real popular mandate

Labour mandate (lack of)

As I blogged previously, in relation to both the USA election and Labour’s present situation in the UK.

The difference lies in the fact that the people of the UK had 14 years of inept “Conservative” misgovernment 2010-2024, and the voters wanted the Cons out, at almost any price.

Having said that, and as previously noted several times on the blog, out of every 20 eligible voters in the UK at GE 2024, and in rough figures, about 8 were so disenchanted with the whole political process, with society, and with the political choices available, that they voted with their feet (did not vote at all).

Of the remaining 12 out of 20, again in very rough figures, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results.

For me, the most significant figures would be the 8 out of 20 who did not vote, and the 2 that voted Reform UK.

Obviously, Labour, Starmer-Labour, has little real popular mandate, particularly in view of the fact that Labour’s “4 out of 20” or “4 out of 12” would have included those who, faced with a Lab-Con fight in many constituencies, voted Lab to do down the Cons; the same, in reverse, may also be true, though to a lesser extent; those who voted Con to prevent Lab from winning. Negative voting.

There is at present, or as yet, no sign of a real social-national party emerging in the UK.

I think that Matt Goodwin may be right, i.e. that Reform UK will emerge as the real opposition to Labour in the public mind.

Reform UK now has 5 MPs, though all are rather underwhelming. Reform should of course (were the electoral system not both illogical and unfair) have had about 93 MPs, not the mere 5 awarded to them under FPTP.

It is ridiculous that a party, Reform UK, can get 14.29% of the popular vote and end up with 5 MPs, and that another party, the LibDems, can be voted for by only 12.22%, yet end up with 72 MPs! That does offend the still quite strong sense of fairness and fair play in this country.

Come to that, Labour itself captured only 33.7% of the popular vote, not greatly more than double the vote of Reform UK, yet now has 411 MPs.

A pure proportional-voting system would have given Labour 219 MPs, the Conservative Party 154, Reform UK 93, LibDems 79, and Green Party 42.

In other words, under pure proportional voting, on GE 2024 vote figures, the UK would still be under a Labour Party government, but it would be a minority one.

In practice, 320 MPs give a UK government a Commons majority. Under the proportional-voting scenario, and in order to get over the line, Labour would have been required to compact with either the Conservative Party, or with Reform UK, or with both the LibDems and Greens. I suppose that that last choice would have been the most likely— Labour with LibDem and Green support.

Having said that, were there a fairer and more proportional voting system in the UK, voters would be able to cast their votes knowing that, unless they were to vote Monster Raving Loony Party or the like, their votes would almost certainly result in at least one MP of their preference getting elected. On GE 2024 figures, even George Galloway’s party, Workers’ Party, would have had 4 or 5 MPs in the Commons (0.73% of the popular vote, 210,194 actual votes).

There is little doubt in my mind that, were the UK voting system fairer, most UK voters would not be voting for the System or “legacy” parties. Not only would Reform UK surge forward, but a real social national party might be able to capture both the imagination and the votes of the British people. That, of course, is why System politicians want to retain the present voting set-up.

As said on previous similar occasions, a one-sided and rose-tinted view, but still largely correct, taken in the round.

That is about Simon Myerson, Leeds-based barrister and one of the “CAA” and “UKLFI” Jew-Zionist crowd, who was sacked as a Recorder (p/t judge) several months ago as a consequence of his extremely unpleasant and persistent social media trolling.

According to Myerson, the terrible slaughter visited upon the people of Gaza is, “legally”, not “genocide”, presumably because not all Gazans have been killed or wounded (“only” 150,000+, i.e. about a tenth of the population), and because the Israelis at least claim not to intend eliminating all Gazans or other Palestinian Arabs from Israel/Palestine.

Well, could not a similar claim, mutatis mutandis, be made by Germany about the Europe-resident Jews of the early 1940s?

Not my area of law (when I had “areas of law”). In any case, my own view of the Gaza slaughter is not based on some “dancing on a pin” legal sophistry. I say, just look at what the Israelis have been doing, and what they continue to do. Whether it is called “genocide” or not is irrelevant, really.

I have noticed that some of the non-Jews (who are pro-Jew-Zionist or, maybe better said, pro-Israel), and some of those who are part-Jew (what the Reich termed Mischlingen) but Zionist, are actually more fanatical than many of those who are fully-Jewish. Strange. That phenomenon has been covered on the blog, on this very popular page: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/.

Migration-invasion— the madness gets worse

A public meeting descended into chaos after locals were told hundreds of illegal migrants staying at a hotel could soon be getting access to ‘free private healthcare’. 

The bombshell accusation was made during a fiery debate led by members of Trafford Council, in Greater Manchester, sparking an outcry of anger from local residents.”

Spare a thought for Tim Walz and his wife (I already have— that is why I am laughing!…hahaha!)

Hard to argue with that, but still a totally one-sided tweet. What about the proven and perverse brutality in Israeli prisons? That’s before we even start to consider the torture (often worse, and also often perverse) inflicted by Israel-contaminated America (and its allies) in the fairly recent past in Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Guantanamo, and elsewhere, and which continues in some places.

Again, not a tweeter I would normally repost, but truth is truth…

Note how that supporter of the Democratic Party puts down the poorer (poorer white?) people in his country. That party has lost its traditional anchoring in the American “working class”, and is now foundering or floundering in a morass of identity politics, fake history, and soundbite nonsense. You only have to observe or listen to Kamala Harris, Tim Walz etc when on the campaign trail.

The same sort of fate has overtaken both the Labour Party and the Conservative Party in the UK. Looking at misnamed “Labour”, it has little or no interest now in supporting the poorer part of the population, once its mainstay.

Can you imagine the old, pre-Blair, Labour Party effectively robbing pensioners of Winter Fuel Allowance, or similar, in order to throw that money and more to the Jew-Zionist dictatorship in Kiev, the bosses of which (including Zelensky) have each ripped off hundreds of millions of US dollars? I think not.

Would the old Labour Party be sheltering, feeding, and giving pocket money to migrant-invaders (in the hundreds of thousands), while —outside the repurposed business hotels housing the invaders, British ex-soldiers and others sleep in the streets? I think not.

Then there is the “anti-racism” nonsense, the “trans” nonsense etc, and looming over it all, the unquestioning support given by Starmer and all his hopeless Cabinet to Israel and the world (inc. UK) Jewish-Zionist lobby. After all, those political drones and corrupt freeloaders all belong to Labour Friends of Israel.

As for the “Conservatives”, no better. Both System parties are more or less a “uniparty” now. There are differences, yes, but few where it matters to the majority of the population.

The American voters, most of them, have clutched at the Trump straws; in the UK the equivalent, so far, would be Reform UK (though that is really just a System party in embryo, with mostly similar policies to the existing ones).

As British society gradually slides to dystopia, it can still happen that a small minority of social-national people may find a way to take power and rule this country properly. That minority need only be a few percent of the entire population, actively supported by another 10%, and mildly supported by another 20%.

Amazing rapport.

Press-gangs continue to force unwilling Ukrainians to fight, or at least be present, on the crumbling front-lines.

Such forced “recruits” are unlikely to be useful at the front, and quite likely to desert, despite the threat of a firing squad. The fact is that everyone except the Western mass media understands that the Kiev regime’s days are numbered; even the Western msm is slowly waking up to it.

So the Starmer/Rachel Reeves Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment has decided to spend (waste) £3 billion on the brutal and shambolic Jew-Zionist regime of Zelensky in Kiev, about 15x what they are going to spend in a doomed attempt to “tackle homelessness” in the UK?

I say “doomed” because, with the huge migration-invasion taking place, homelessness and the overall housing crisis in this country will soon get much much worse.

Facts: about 1,200,000 migrant-invaders are entering the UK annually. About 300,000 leave annually (as well as about 100,000 British people). That means that the population is increasing by at least 800,000 every single year.

Let us assume that 800,000 individuals require about 160,000 dwelling-places (5 per house/flat). At £200,000 per flat/house build-cost, that comes to £32 billion, very roughly 150x what Rachel Reeves has earmarked for “tackling homelessness”.

The migration invasion of the UK means that another 160,000 houses and flats, at a minimum, will be required every single year. Unless the invasion is stopped, and the invaders already here are removed.

Incidentally, Starmer-Labour’s £3 billion a year, due to go to “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime dictatorship), will probably not have to be paid for more than a couple of years. The regime in Kiev will collapse and be rolled over before very long, probably next year.

I wonder.

Whether that proves to be so or not (about Trump losing the election and so apparently being “a loser“), is Rory Stewart anyway the person to say so? https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/03/will-rory-stewart-mp-be-prime-minister/.

Alternatively, create a “Solovetsky Islands” camp somewhere offshore, such as Foulness and/or other islands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solovetsky_Islands; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solovki_prison_camp; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foulness_SSSI.

Incidentally, a very unpleasant individual, a former American junior officer, who was in the U.S. Army for a couple of years at the rank of lieutenant and is now working as an assistant professor at Northumbria University in the UK, was tasteless enough to find the killing of the squirrel funny: see below

Oh, and guess what is the academic specialism of that very nasty (read his tweets) “assistant professor”? The old “holocaust” stuff…

I have noticed before that those in the lower reaches of academia who specialize in “holocaust” “studies” and, risibly, often refer to themselves as “holocaust scholars” (!) tend to be very unpleasant individuals. It is as if their minds have become contaminated.

BREAKING: A horrific night in Ramallah, in the West Bank. Hundreds of Israeli terrorist settlers launched a brutal attack on the city of Ramallah, setting fire to numerous Palestinian homes and vehicles. After setting Palestinian homes and cars on fire, they moved to the main road connecting Ramallah to other cities, where they targeted Palestinian cars passing by, injuring a woman by hurling stones at her vehicle.”

Even Jew-Zionists are now often appalled by the terror unleashed by Jews in Israel/Palestine. I have noticed that several times recently.

The elephant in the room, though, is that, at root, what those Jewish terrorists are doing is no more and no less what the Jews did in Palestine in and around 1948, when they founded their state on terror, ethnic cleansing, and murder.

At least one good reason for Americans to vote for Trump…

A fat Indian woman, caught out being effectively an Israeli agent, is now Shadow Foreign Secretary.

Conservative Friends of Israel member, of course.

Purely a nominal appointment, though. Does anyone seriously expect Kemi Badenoch, a Nigerian woman, to become UK Prime Minister? The idea is actually ludicrous, even after “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, and the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

The “black hat” brigade, or part of it, most of whom do not consent to being conscripted.

The storm is coming.

Incidentally, I wonder whether those “scammers”, “Mark Lewis Lawyer” and his wife Mandy Blumenthal, are awaiting said storm in Israel/Palestine, or have they scuttled back, yet again, to the “antisemitic” Britain they despise and pretended to have fled?

One of the oddities of American “democracy” is that the plebs seriously believe that voting every 4 years for this or that candidate changes things. Really? Clinton, Obama, now Kamala Harris, arguably the least credible yet.

The plebs voting for her because she is a woman, because she is a non-white, because Taylor Swift and Oprah Winfrey endorse her.

What is “democracy” anyway? I tried to look at that in a blog post some years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/15/has-parliamentary-democracy-as-we-have-known-it-until-now-had-its-day-in-the-uk/.

They do seem both perverse and naturally drawn towards clowning. Not just the soldiers shown, but quite a few of that tribe in uniform.

Their clowning has a sadistic element, bearing in mind that they are trashing (and looting) homes of Arab civilians.

Strange. Reminds me of the days, some 48 years ago (1976) when I would buy and read Black Flag, the journal of revolutionary anarchism, sometimes perusing it on the London Underground!

I could say a great deal more, but think that I had better not…

In fact, I read a good deal of “alternative” political literature back then, from Black Flag, NF News and League Review (the journal of the League of St. George, to which I then belonged) to (though far less frequently) Militant and similar literature.

A cultural purge is very necessary, including inside schools.

Almost exactly 100 years since Adolf Hitler had the same idea.

It becomes evident that (as I have been predicting for the past couple of years) the “Labour” government of Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper and other Labour Friends of Israel members has no intention of stopping or even slowing the invasion. Au contraire... the plan is to wave a magic wand and to rubberstamp the invaders as “legal migrants” and “asylum seekers”, partly by processing them before they even arrive in the UK.

We must expect a continuing migration-invasion (500,000-1M a year if you include those nominally “legal”, more yet if you include births to non-whites).

Starmer-Labour is basically a bunch of traitors who have “marched through the institutions” (and professions) to create a pseudo-“elected” government now trying to lay down the structure of a multikulti and “woke” police state.

Elected“? Only 4 voters, out of every 20 eligible, voted Labour.

That refers, in fact, to one Joanna Jarjue, a black woman who is (for no good reason) apparently on TV discussion-nonsense programmes occasionally. I had never heard of her, so looked her up online.

Turns out that Joanna Jarjue’s main and possibly only claim to (“15 minutes of”) “fame” was that she took part in the appalling TV show (fronted by the Jewish business person Alan Sugar) The Apprentice, seven years ago, in 2017. Sugar “fired” her before the final part of the contest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_(British_TV_series)_series_13#Candidates.

I don’t waste time on TV shows such as The Apprentice, but the format is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_(British_TV_series)#Format

Basically, seems that Joanna Jarjue has put together a background or CV that, in reality, does not add up to very much (in my opinion)[https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanna-jarjue-261ab78a/?originalSubdomain=uk].

Seems that every pointless “discussion-nonsense” show on “British” TV now needs to show how “diverse” it is by including a black person, whether it is that useless Nigerian “grifter” Femi Oluwole or some other, such as this Gambian woman, Joanna Jarjue (of whom I had never heard until 10 minutes ago, when I saw a tweet about her defending “trans” “women” boxers brutalizing real women boxers —of whom I also disapprove— on GB News).

I do not believe that women should be boxing anyway.

I make a distinction, though, between women boxing and women doing other “martial arts” such as judo or even taekwando (which latter I myself did for a few months in 1984). There, the contenders score points, but do not (in the sport versions) aim to batter each other to the ground. I admit that taekwando utilises aggression (my instructors were always shouting at me, or encouraging me, in such terms as “More aggression, Ian! More aggression!“) but in a different way to boxing (in my opinion).

I looked at the GB News video clip. The Jarjue woman obviously wants to hit the “right” buttons to get invited to make more (paid) TV appearances (cf. Ash Sarkar).

Ah, here she pops up again, again on GB News:

Thick as two short planks. Thinks that people are angry about the state of the country not for any substantive reason, but because of “social media”. Good grief…

Seems to be supporting the fake Labour attempt to destroy whatever free speech is still left in this country. What a surprise…

I was not alone in predicting a short or non-existent “honeymoon” period for Starmer-Labour. Others, though not many, echoed my view; Matt Goodwin for one (and he makes money out of his blogging…well, that’s life…).

There are many reasons for Starmer-Labour having no popularity among the British people (excepting —some— Labour Party members, and/or the grifting online professional “anti-Tory” know-nothings such as “@supertanskiii”).

First of all, Starmer and his crew have no ideas worth a plugged nickel. Look at the stupid decision to halt so many infrastructure projects recently. Infrastructure investment is the very foundation for later prosperity, though I agree for other reasons with the halt to the HS2 vanity-rail nonsense, and with the scrapping of the Stonehenge tunnel (the better idea there would be a bypass, built a mile or more away).

Rachel Reeves is someone without any ideas worth anything, and I think that Starmer is similar. As to Angela Rayner and Yvette Cooper, need the question even be put?

Secondly, money is being cut off from British people who need it, including pensioners.

Meanwhile, however, Starmer has agreed to waste THREE BILLION POUNDS A YEAR on “aid” to “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev led by the corrupt tyrant and former sleazy comedian, Zelensky).

Starmer is also throwing money at the —actually not very useful— junior NHS doctors, who only have to endure modest pay for a few years anyway before getting to fairly high salary levels. At the same time, the planned NHS hospital building and rebuilding programme has been stopped, more or less.

That is even before you start to look at the Starmer-Labour plan to destroy what little free speech exists still in this country.

Starmer was mainly (I think) a prosecutor, certainly best known for having been Director of Public Prosecutions. Looking at him, I have always been reminded of what Chekhov said to Gorky after having met, en passant, a smug young prosecutor in pre-revolutionary Russia: “…and it is pimples on the backside of humanity, like that, who dispose of the fate of people!”…[Gorky, Literary Portraits, trs. Ivy Litvinov]: see https://archive.org/details/maxim-gorky-literary-portraits-flph-1950.

Chekhov also said that every prosecutor he had ever met liked to fish. Well, I have no idea whether Starmer does. Perhaps not, though he does eat fish: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/uks-new-pm-keir-starmer-is-the-1st-jewish-pescatarian-to-ascend-the-position/articleshow/111558669.cms?from=mdr, the India Times incidentally having —apparently wrongly— identified Starmer as a Jew in that headline (his wife is the Jewish half of the couple). See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer#Personal_life.

The non-existent Starmer-Labour “honeymoon” period is, of course, also a function of the unpopularity of Labour at the pseudo-“landslide” General Election, Labour having (as I repeatedly point out, but the msm rarely do) only been voted for by 4 out of every 12 people who voted (and only 4 out of every 20 if you include the 40%+ of eligible voters who did not vote at all).

A bad combination: a government voted for by, at best, 34% of the adult population (but really only by about 20%), but pretending that it is wildly popular and has a “mandate” to pass repressive laws etc.

Incidentally, looking at “Lord Walney” in that photo, he really has aged in the past few years. He looks drugged or something, as well.

Even leaving aside the civil rights and human rights implications of “Walney’s”/Woodcock’s suggestion, what an incredibly irresponsible and ridiculous thing to suggest, to “lock down” the UK again.

The “Covid” “lockdowns” were both dictatorial and unnecessary anyway, but the point here is the huge economic damage done by them in 2020-2021. Now Woodcock/”Walney” wants to “lock down” the country again, merely because a few cars have been overturned and a police station “up North” burnt out! I don’t recall him suggesting that when non-Brits (such as the Gypsies of Harehills, Leeds) were doing the same or worse only a week ago.

Can you imagine that a substantial minority of the American electorate actually want that stupid creature to be President of the USA?

Typical Twitter-twit. Yes, the LibDems, as longstanding “dustbin-for-votes” party, got 72 MPs at the General Election. Their vote-share was 12.2% (3,519,199 votes).

By reason of the incredibly undemocratic and illogical UK voting system, Reform UK only got 5 MPs, despite having received a vote-share of 14.3% (4,117,221 votes), well ahead of the LibDems.

Needless to say, tendentious creatures such as tweeter “@Jo_WhiteheadUK” are actually secretly or not so secretly pleased that the electoral system is biased against even mildly-national parties such as Reform UK.

The absurdity of the electoral system is surely now obvious to all. The Conservative Party got a vote-share of 23.7% (6,827,311 votes), just over 1.6 times the vote received by Reform UK, yet now has 121 MPs!

Labour is even more unfairly favoured: <33.7% of the popular vote (9,704,655 individual votes); only just over 2.3 times the Reform UK vote, yet it now has 411 MPs.

Sinn Fein got only 210,891 votes (0.73%) yet has 7 MPs, because its vote is concentrated in a small number of Northern Irish seats. Absurd.

This is not really “democracy”, however defined. A caricature of democracy.

Two things. Firstly, Labour, at the highest level, is signed up to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, just as are the “Conservatives”— they want to import non-Europeans into all European countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

Secondly, Labour, like their supposed “opponents” in the Westminster monkeyhouse, talk about “criminal gangs” as if they are the problem. No, they are but a symptom. By all means eliminate those criminals (the System politicians will not even do that, in reality), but the migration-invasion will not be stopped, or even much reduced, by those methods.

It is clear that Labour intends to “legalize” both those illegals already here and most of those planning to invade our shores.

Late thoughts

In Britain’s fantasy politics, centred around House of Commons seats, Labour “won” GE 2024 by a landslide, the Conservative Party lost hugely, the LibDems did terribly well and had a kind of resurgence, and Reform UK performed underwhelmingly and got the few (5) MPs that they deserved (or not, according to many Twitter-twits).

In Britain’s real political landscape, away from the Westminster Bubble and the TV studios, things look rather different.

Take 20 UK potential voters, 20 people eligible to vote.

Out of that 20, at least 8 did not bother to vote at all. Those 8 people are completely disenchanted with the whole political system.

Of the remaining 12 voters, i.e. those that actually voted, 2 (in statistical terms, 1.72) voted for Reform UK, 3 (2.84) voted Conservative, and 4 (4.04) voted Labour. Another 1 or 2 (1.47) voted LibDem and maybe 1 (0.76) voted Green.

That is how, out of every 12 voters that voted, and out of every 20 eligible, people voted.

It can be seen that Labour does not really have the massive mandate to which it pretends. For every 4 people presently voting for Labour, another 3 are voting Conservative, 2 are voting Reform UK, 1 or 2 are voting LibDem, and 1 voting Green.

It is the view of the System msm that the above does not matter. Labour has 411 MPs and a huge majority in the Commons, and that’s that.

Not quite. Public opinion can be ignored by those holding power, but only up to a point. I have seen at close quarters some entrenched political systems change, indeed collapse, when public opinion and mood reached a certain tipping-point.

What happens in 2027, 2028, or 2029, after Labour fails dismally, as I think it will (and must, if it is going to allow a million non-Europeans into the UK every year)? The people will not turn back to the Conservative Party, whichever faction rules that rump of a party. The LibDems are just a tactical-vote and dustbin-vote party. Reform UK may or may not rise further.

Ultimately, I think it entirely possible that a social-national alternative not presently in existence may arise. That may or may not be a “party” in the Parliamentary sense.

One thing is for sure— the will and welfare of the people cannot be trifled with indefinitely. Salus populi suprema lex

The basic conundrum is “what is democracy?“— See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/15/has-parliamentary-democracy-as-we-have-known-it-until-now-had-its-day-in-the-uk/.

Reform UK is a symptom of how angry rather a lot of English people are about the state of the country. Over 4 million votes, over 14% of those voters who voted (i.e. Reform UK was voted for by 1 in 7 voters).

Reform UK got 14.3% of votes, but only 5 MPs.

LibDems? Fewer votes by far than Reform, yet 72 MPs. Ridiculous.

The Conservative Party got 23.7%, little more than one and a half times the number of votes taken by Reform, yet 121 MPs.

Where is the justice, or even logic, in that?

As for the Labour Party, its 33.7% of votes cast represents less than two and a half times the Reform vote, yet it ends up with 411 MPs!

Again, no justice and no logic.

Apparently, Peter Barnes (or Peter C. Barnes) is a UK political campaigns person, who works or has worked for the Conservative Party, and who appears on the “no-one watches” Talk TV and the “almost no-one watches” GB News television outlets.

Seems that Barnes blames Reform UK for Labour’s faux “landslide” (procured by a mere 33.7% of votes cast, i.e. about 20% of all potential votes), and via an electoral system patently not fit for purpose.

In reality, the blame for the Starmer-Labour victory should be placed, first and foremost, with a succession of supposedly “Conservative” governments over the past 14 years, headed by no less than 5 Conservative Party prime ministers who all turned out to be complete deadheads.

Those Conservative Party governments presided over the importation of 3-4 MILLION immigrants, mostly non-European, and over the trashing of public services including the libraries, courts, police, district nursing, roads, elder care, social housing; also riverine pollution… you name it.

At present, mass immigration into the UK is somewhere around a million a year. Yes, a few hundred thousand also leave, but most of the leavers are Brit or other European people emigrating to Australasia and elsewhere.

Barnes seems to think that, had Reform UK not existed, all or most of its voters would have voted Con, thus preventing a Labour government, or one with a majority.

First of all, while most 2024 election Reform UK voters would not have voted Labour in those or any circumstances, that does not mean that they would have voted Con. Probably not. More likely, abstention.

Secondly, parties exist for a reason. There now seems little reason for most voters to vote Con. That seems to be lost on Westminster Bubble types such as Barnes (of whom I had not heard until today). Reform UK is the outcome of profound discontent in the depths of the population.

If Labour (as I firmly expect) fails to give the British people what they require, then Reform UK will not only grow in influence, but will also be the least of the problems of the System parties.

Britain needs a real social-national movement.

Cronyism, petty or not so petty corruption and fraud…it’s like the Blair-Brown years all over again.

Building hutches for migrant-invaders.

Not just Muslims in the UK. The Labour “elected” dictatorship will no doubt target any English people unwilling to accept the Zionists.

Rachel Reeves believes in the nationalization of intimidation…

We must be clear: the minority of “activist” blacks and browns want the real British people, the so-called “white British”, to disappear, bred out or otherwise disposed of.

As I predicted. Labour continues the fiction that the problem is “smuggling gangs” etc, when the real problem is the migration invasion itself (both “legal” and “illegal”), and that would be about the same whether or not various types of criminal were making profits from it all.

I also predicted that Labour in government would open “processing centres” in France, approve 95% of applicants (who will then travel on to the UK “legally”, via ferry or air); the TV and newspaper coverage of invaders being ferried to the South Coast ports (via RNLI and Border Force) or beaches (via rubber boats etc) will simply all but stop, but the invasion itself will continue, just invisibly.

Tweeter “@IGMansfield” obviously loves the new “elected” dictatorship of Labour, as it prepares to build over the once “green and pleasant land” so that the invading migrants have a hutch to call their own. No consultation, no appeal, and he loves it.

We often talk about the “enemies of the people”. They now emerge in plain sight. Those who want to trash what is left of this country, whether for profit or for political tendentiousness.

Look at those applauding that tweet (eg below). Not all, or even mostly, any kind of “socialist”:

There is still a small window of opportunity for a party such as Reform UK, or even a genuinely social-national party, to make headway in terms of Commons seats etc. All roads lead to Rome. However, we are getting to the point where ordinary political activity, as per the Reform phenomenon, is not likely to lead to real success, or to triumph.

We are facing an exploding non-European population in the UK, and an upcoming repression on free speech worse than anything so far seen.

Meanwhile, the hordes of “useful idiots” applaud fake “Labour” and love to see government being tyrannical and careless of civil rights (a phenomenon also noted during the 2020-2022 “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic),

Again…

The “enemies of the people”…

Starmer-Labour has little in common with “the party formerly known as Labour”; it is a finance-capitalist project, which poses (and is presented by the msm) as wildly popular because of its Commons “landslide”, when in reality (as examined on the blog over the past few days), it only got 33.7% of the popular vote. Indeed, 40% of the eligible electorate did not vote, so the real support for Starmer-Labour in the country is only about 20%.

This is a WEF government, a ZOG/NWO government, a Labour Friends of Israel government, a Bilderberg government. It has no real validity.

Incidentally, I now know who that tweeter “@IGMansfield” is— a senior figure at the finance-capitalist “think tank” (lobby org), Policy Exchange: https://policyexchange.org.uk/news/new-additions-to-our-expanded-team-at-policy-exchange/.

Starmer-Labour is really just another globalist and finance-capitalist “project” akin to Blair’s “New Labour”, as seen in the many Blair-Brown faces now in government. The myriad new MPs are basically lobby-fodder.

Miliband, who claimed in 2009 at Copenhagen that we had either 3 or 5 years to “save the planet”. Then the planet yawned and everyone, or almost everyone, forgot about the prediction (which was echoed by the then Prince Charles).

Well, now Miliband is back, wanting to cover the countryside in turbines.

I thought that that “@Bushra1Shaikh” Twitter/X account must be some form of satire, but apparently not.

There it is, anyway— the latest batch of migrant-invaders, brought to the UK by one of the government agencies meant to protect our borders from invasion and breach by criminals…

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

The “Bushra Shaikh” person tweeting actually seems to exist for real, albeit on an incredibly low intellectual/educational level.

Just looked her up online. Apparently, she was on the TV show The Apprentice about 7 years ago, in 2017 (fired before the show came to an end). 40-41 years old, a divorced single mother of three children, and a businesswoman of some sort, who sells Muslim clothing.

Clacton and Reform UK

The System is now getting very worried about the level of support being shown even for Reform UK, a basically small-c conservative-type party. The anti-Reform UK rhetoric is now close to that displayed in the past against more social-national parties such as the BNP and, further back still, the National Front.

The System thinking must be, “if even Reform UK can be so disruptive, how more so would be a credible and genuinely social-national party?

That anti-Reform UK propaganda is broadcast as Reform UK reaches heights of popular support few thought that it would or could reach.

Some polls are putting Reform UK as high as 20%, and all are putting it well above 15%, the average now being around 17%.

Meanwhile, support for the Conservative Party has dropped to as low as 18%, and may go even lower. I have just yesterday heard admittedly anecdotal evidence that, in my own local area (in coastal Hampshire, and one of the most heavily-Con in England), lifelong Con voters are planning to vote anywhere other than Con or Labour. Many, perhaps most (?), are switching to Reform UK, and some to the LibDems.

I was just looking at my blog from about 8 or 9 months ago. I thought then that Reform UK would get a nationwide popular vote of at least 15% and, at the outside, 20%. Seems that I was right (so far).

Estimates of the number of MPs Reform UK might have by 5 July 2024, i.e. once the votes are counted, range from 1 or 2 to as many as 22. A few Reform UK optimists are doubling or even tripling that. It seems very open, with less than a week to go.

I doubt whether the Channel 4 undercover silliness will change the minds of many people planning to vote Reform UK, as witness the tweets below:

In any case, Channel 4 News is only seen by a small minority of people. Only about 4.5% of the viewing public even watch Channel 4 overall, so maybe 1% or 2% (?): https://deadline.com/2023/06/channel-4-woes-deepen-ratings-historic-low-1235417804/; https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12199071/Panic-Channel-4-viewing-figures-plummet-historic-low.html.

I doubt that more than a few hundred of the voters of Clacton will have even seen the “expose”. In any case, the main person shown was merely a volunteer. It may even be that some people will be more inclined to vote for Reform after having seen the Channel 4 piece. You never know.

There is also the point that postal voting has already taken place. Many of the older and/or disabled British voters, as at Clacton, will by now have voted.

Farage seems nailed-on to win at Clacton, as far as I can see. The Conservative Party candidate has not even been seen (by me anyway) on TV or online, while the young African standing as Labour MP has apparently been redeployed to help another Labour candidate, in the West Midlands, and has thus left the field of battle at Clacton.

I can only suppose that Starmer decided that only the Con candidate had any chance of beating Farage, having scored 72.3% in 2019, so scaled back the Labour effort at Clacton to zero for nakedly tactical reasons.

Also, the fact that Labour deliberately chose an African for its candidate at Clacton, of all places, would be likely to prompt a surge in support for Reform UK. Anyway, he’s gone elsewhere, and will probably not be seen at Clacton until the count on Election Night. I still think that he might lose his deposit.

As blogged previously, while I am not a Reform UK supporter, as such, its existence moves the “Overton Window” a bit, at the very least, and will help to break down the “two main parties” scam.

More tweets seen

The public’s view of the mostly System politicians is not favourable. Even Starmer, on the crest of his “popularity by default”, is only viewed favourably by just over a third of voters.

Look at Sunak. Only 19%, the same as the Conservative Party. I begin to wonder whether previously undecided voters will actually start to pile in against the Conservative Party now, or at the last minute, thus reducing the Conservative vote to somewhere below that 19%, maybe as low as 16%. We shall know in 6 days’ time.

I should say “80% that’s broken“, not “everything“. Otherwise, I agree.

As Hitler said, “dirty democratic politicians“…[Mein Kampf].

The African will probably get about 4% of the vote, and lose his deposit.

This is incredible. It does not necessarily mean that the Channel 4 “expose” was a fix, but it certainly raises questions.

How did Channel 4 News come to fasten upon that particular person for its undercover filming?

My view: both main System parties should be eliminated.

Gavin Barwell really is an utterly stupid person, yet there he sits in the House of Lords, getting nearly £400 a day (taxfree) any (sitting) day on which he chooses to turn up for 30 minutes and have his name ticked off… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Barwell.

Yes. If all Con-leaning or anti-Lab-leaning voters were to vote Reform UK, Reform UK could just about win at Dover; even then it might be very close. One thing is for sure— the Con candidate cannot win.

So Giles Watling is still alive… I had seen and heard nothing from the retired actor since the Clacton campaign started. I assumed that he had fallen into his soup and drowned at the Garrick Club.

Watling has nothing in common with most Clacton voters. Hopeless.

The Jew Zelensky thinks that there can be a “peace summit” without Russia’s participation (unless Russia were to effectively surrender). He’s a con-man who has stolen billions.

Talking point

Should make people think.

I tend to agree, up to a point, with that last tweeter. Yes, the Cons are doomed, but look at what the Labour Party now is! A mixture of Blair-Brown-style fake communitarian rhetoric, “woke” craziness, “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) partisanship, and pro-Israel-ism, combined with pro-Jewish lobby repression of free speech and, in terms of domestic policy, almost indistinguishable in reality from the policies of the Conservative Party.

Incidentally, it is Bicester and Woodstock, a new constituency, not just Woodstock. That may explain the close polling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicester_and_Woodstock_(UK_Parliament_constituency).

Even Reform UK has more support among the under-30s in the UK, especially in England, than many suppose. A real social-national party might be able to capture far more hearts and minds.

This really is stunning. If accurate, it may mean a House of Commons with 483 Labour MPs (overall majority 316), 73 LibDems, 27 Reform UK, and only 22 Con Party MPs (SNP 18, Green 4 etc). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

It would mean the LibDems as official Opposition, and Reform UK with several more MPs (27 in toto) than the rump of the old Conservative Party (22), which would not be the Opposition, not even third party, but a poor fourth. Finished. Washed-up.

I have yet to meet, in the past month or even longer, even one person who expresses an intention to vote Con. There may be some people I meet who intend to vote Con without my knowing it, of course; I meet relatively few people, and rarely talk directly about politics with most of those that I do meet. All the same…

In fact, and by my use of Electoral Calculus, it may be that, were Reform UK to poll at 24%, only 3 points higher than in this latest poll, Reform could edge the LibDems out of second place, which would mean Reform UK as the official Opposition, and Farage as Leader of the Opposition! Were that to happen, I should have to eat my words of a year or two ago (dismissing him as not such an effective politician despite his oratorical and mass media skills).

We shall soon know.

Brutal” is the word. Whatever one may think of Trump and his overall fitness for office, it is clear that Biden should now go into retirement.

The world has rarely if ever been in such multiform peril. The state with, by far, the greatest military-destructive power on Earth, is a “colossus on legs of straw”, and cannot, at this time, be commanded, even notionally, by someone not in command of his own faculties.

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24416228.poole-labour-candidate-calls-others-denounce-hate-campaign/

The Labour parliamentary candidate for Poole, Neil Duncan-Jordan, said he and others have been targeted with ’disgusting and disrespectful’ comments.

He said he had been called a ‘white traitor’ and told that ‘Adolf Hitler had the right idea’.

Mr Duncan-Jordan has called on his counterparts in the election to distance themselves from antisemitism, racism and hate crime following a number of incidents he and his supporters have faced.

Mr Duncan-Jordan said: “In the last few days there have been three separate incidents that have caused me concern. I’ve been called a ‘white traitor’, one of my supporters was spat at and I was told that “Adolf Hitler had the right idea.”

“I think it’s important that all candidates in this election come out clearly and say that antisemitism, racism and fascist views have absolutely no place in modern Britain.

Spitting at someone because you don’t like their political views is disgusting and disrespectful. We cannot allow this kind of behaviour to become the acceptable norm.”

The candidate has reported the incidents to the police.

[Bournemouth Echo]

Well, while I would never condone spitting at (or for that matter, throwing milkshakes over) people (as a Labour supporter did to Farage recently), if a candidate wants to knock on people’s doors to engage them in political debate, he must expect some of his “victims” to cut up rough, bearing in mind what the System parties have been doing to this country.

Rishi Sunak‘s chief of staff has been interviewed as a witness by the gambling regulator as part of the row over alleged bets on the timing of the general election, it has emerged.

Liam Booth-Smith is reported to have spoken to the Gambling Commission last week to help the watchdog understand who may have known when polling day would be.

Booth-Smith was born in 1987[2] in Stoke on Trent and was raised by a single mother.[3] He read politics and social policy at Loughborough University. Booth-Smith was appointed as Downing Street Chief of Staff in October 2022 after Rishi Sunak‘s accession as prime minister. He succeeded Mark Fullbrook.

Diary Blog, 2 June 2024, including Robert Largan’s deliberate dishonesty in the election for the High Peak constituency

Morning music

Robert Largan, the 2024 General Election, and the constituency of High Peak

Largan. A Conservative Friends of Israel puppet. A nasty little man, who used to be an accountant for Marks & Spencer. Also, a dishonest little bastard.

Largan has obviously realized that, as a “Conservative” MP who won his seat narrowly in 2019, with a majority of only 509 votes, he has little chance of beating the Labour candidate this time in the normal way, so has decided to cheat.

Largan is an election cheat. Those fake “Labour” and “Reform UK” posters he has published are an outright attempt to defraud the High Peak electorate.

Despite having been a barrister (in practice or overseas employed practice 1992-2008, and still nominally a barrister until wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred for political reasons in late 2016), I know little about the law pertaining to elections.

I have just looked at the links below: https://www.college.police.uk/app/policing-elections/investigating-electoral-malpractice; and https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/guidance-candidates-and-agents-uk-parliamentary-general-elections-great-britain/campaigning/table-offences; and

What’s not in the law

There is nothing in law that requires a party to include their logo on campaign material.

There is also no requirement in law to specify what colours or branding a party needs to use in their material.

[https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/voting-and-elections/campaigning-election/campaign-material-and-campaigning-polling-day]

The above, however, does not seem to cover the case of a candidate deceptively using the style and colours of his opponents in order to trick voters directly.

See also https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/election-offences

Even if Largan is not actually in breach of electoral law (and I cannot say whether that is so or not), in view of his deliberate and dishonest copying of the colour and style of Labour and Reform UK posters, the voters of High Peak must be made aware of how very dishonest and desperate Largan is (desperate not to have to get a real job again, something he has only had for 5 out of his 38 years).

Send Largan back to counting beans for M&S.

Actually, when you think how likely (in fact, inevitable) it was that Largan’s deception would be discovered (having after all been publicized on Twitter/X by Largan himself!), it does call into question Largan’s commonsense or lack of the same. His judgment too. He is an idiot.

Desperate, yes, so stupid and desperate, maybe not.

Robert Largan—serially dishonest and not even very clever in being so.

Imagine, though, how little confidence Largan must have in the “Conservative” brand to try to camouflage himself on different election posters as Labour, and Reform UK and Green, in other words anything but “Conservative”…and also even printing a fake “newspaper”.

Faux-proletarian scribbler Dan Hodges is one of the least credible of his type. “Poor” scarcely covers his nonsense.

Well, I agree with Hodges on that, at least in terms of the gap between Con and Lab, but then, after all, I did predict on the blog quite some months ago that, contrary to the usual scenario, there would not be a convergence in the polling prior to Election Day. The reason is clear— people have just given up on the “Conservatives”. Labour is disliked but, in the UK’s basically binary system, if people do not vote Con, Lab profit thereby.

Look at how many Con MPs are failing to contest GE 2024, and look at the poor quality of most of those intending to contest it. Robert Largan is but one, and egregious, example of that.

The voters have a choice: Labour, who will probably be both incompetent and repressive, and the “Conservatives”, who have already proven themselves incompetent and repressive. Both parties are as good as controlled by the…”Israel lobby”.

Really? I can think of a number of things of which one could accuse Sunak, but surely not that. Or have I misunderstood the headline?…

Penny Mordaunt got a very high 61.4% vote-share in 2019, and her vote -share has increased every election since she was first elected in 2010, but Portsmouth North has been a “bellwether” seat since 1966, so the chances are that she will lose this time, though she may just be able to buck the trend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_North_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Seems a good idea.

In the past, there was clear blue water between Con and Lab, at least on some issues, but the Cons cannot now even compete on issues traditionally (if falsely) their own: immigration, defence, law and order, Treasury competence. Etc. They have failed miserably on all of those and more.

That is the core point, surely. I can think of no issue on which the Cons can credibly make a stand, not even on cultural issues such as the trans nonsense, free speech etc. They are, on those topics, so far as bad as Labour, overall.

I suppose that it might be embarrassing to invite the murderous Israeli regime there; akin to inviting one of the African cannibal dictators of the recent past, such as Bokassa, to a food and drink exhibition.

I suppose that Netanyahu is well-guarded, but so far the only Israeli (ex-) PM to be assassinated (Rabin) was hit by Jewish dissidents, not Arab Palestinians.

The label “far right” (like “right and “left“) is meaningless. Policy is key.

The “Tommy Robinson” crowd are sheep, though they cannot see that. What policies does “Tommy” offer? None, except to —somehow— stop the growth of Islamic or Islamist influence in the UK. Gesture politics, and controlled opposition. Meaningless.

There were genuine reasons to favour Con over Lab in, say, 1970, 1974, even 1979 and 1983, though I personally have voted only once, aged —just— 18, in October 1974, and it was not for a System party (my chosen candidate came 4th out of 4 with about 600 votes).

Both major System parties have changed out of all recognition since the 1970s, and are really just corporate facades, indeed to a large extent similar corporate facades, hiding the almost identical core ideologies within.

Oh, I believe that evil woman all right. She will stop the cross-Channel boats, or most of them. She will do it by setting up places in France where 90%+ of those applying for asylum will simply have their applications rubberstamped. They will then get ferries to the UK.

At present ~1M unwanted immigrants are coming to the UK every year, whether “legally” or not. That is the problem, not the rubber boat mob as such.

The other aspect of the problem we face is that there are large numbers of complete idiots who naively (or actively maliciously) prefer to believe that the UK can absorb millions of mostly uneducated, mostly parasitic, often hostile non-white immigrants without any effect on our way of life, culture, or public services. Some of the idiots even prefer to believe that the influx is something positive…

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

That Osland person, apparently a freelance scribbler, has posted quite a number of other socially and economically-illiterate tweets, such as, today:

Incredibly (or maybe not, in view of Britain’s ever-sliding educational standards), no less than 109,000 Twitter twits “follow” Osland’s Twitter/X account.

There may be a billion or more non-whites in the world who, in principle, might make out a case for UK residence, either on the basis of asylum (under outdated rules) or otherwise. How many houses do Osland and his fellow-idiots think might be required? 500 million? 200 million? (paid for, incidentally, by the British people). That’s before they start to breed, of course. The whole argument these people put forward is a nonsensical one.

Look at it, making one of “their” characteristic gestures…

As to China being “Putin’s tool“, how ridiculous can Zelly get?

Afternoon music

One of my favourite TV shows when I was about 8 or 9 years old.

Seems to sum up everything about Britain in 2024: the environmental calamity, the nanny-state-ism, but also the historical ignorance. The lower Thames (in my meaning, the Thames below Reading, and especially below Kingston) was actually far dirtier in the past, in the 1950s, and back to the 1850s, perhaps even the 1750s.

Still, it is true that the rivers of England and Wales have been almost abandoned by this Government. Effluent and agricultural (farmers’) vandalistic fertilizer and other runoff going into the waters; and water itself being abstracted to service the needs of a UK population growing by 500,000-1,000,000 each year (by reason of mass migration and/or migration invasion).

Another sentimental memory, this time from when I was about 6 years old.

Brilliantly-presented music and colour film from the 1930s.

Looking at the crowds, how sincerely and genuinely happy they look, as compared to (for example) the enforced jollity of the parades in the Soviet Union of the 1930s.

From the newspapers

I do not agree with all of that article by ex-MP Emma Dent Coad in the rump Morning Star, above, but I do agree with some. Worth reading, though she fails to point out at least one possible reason why faux-radical Paul Mason got so angry when Labour’s Israel lobby was mentioned: Mason himself is partly Jewish, and also seems to be very pro-Israel, certainly opposing those he considers “antisemitic”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)#Early_life_and_education.

Looking ahead

It is all too easy to get distracted by the noise of the world, by short-term politics, by the daily news agenda, by personalities etc. We must try to look ahead, beyond the present year, the present decade; even beyond the present century and the present millennium.

I made such an attempt a few years ago, in 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/.

My thesis, though complex in total, is simple in essence: humanity needs to make a quantum leap in evolution. In order for that to happen, there has to be a suitable demographic, ethnic basis. For me, that has to be the European peoples as a whole, particularly the Northern Europeans.

However, the European people(s) are not the end result, or the highest possible stage, but merely a base, also a transitional stage to higher evolution of consciousness.

It is a matter of concern that births and birth-rates to Europeans (including Russians and some other Slavs, the peoples of the far future) are falling quite fast now.

The above factor may be a sign of an impending civilizational catastrophe, but may also be more than merely a “crisis”; it may also be an opportunity for the European peoples to seize the world-historic initiative in terms of demographics. In other words, to start creating the basis of a basis for a future super-race, to put it that way; an advance on —and by— present-day humanity.

As seen in that tweet, even some Jews, indeed even some Zionist pro-Israel Jews, find many of the members of the Knesset (Israeli parliament) beyond the pale, so to speak. All the same, that ranting Jew politician was elected by Israeli voters. He is only expressing, in an extreme form, what is, at least arguably, the mainstream Israeli view in substance, though usually couched in a less extreme, less obviously violent way.

So far, the Israeli revenge attack on Gaza has killed 30,000-40,000 of the inhabitants, mostly women and children. The number grievously wounded must now be as many as 100,000.

Yet one sees Jews in the UK and elsewhere defend the Israeli actions (use of white phosphorus, use of famine as a weapon, flattening of huge areas of residential housing etc, use of drones and snipers killing families or lone unarmed civilians) as “defensive”, “justified“, “not genocide“, “not war crimes” etc. In effect, those (Jews and non-Jews) who support Israel, and who are tweeting support for Israel, are supporting those actions.

They are often the same ones whining and screaming that some child in London or wherever has chalked a swastika on a garage door or the side of a bus, and that that is a kind of “terrorism”, and that they feel “afraid” to go out of their houses. Pathetic.

As have many “Conservative” MPs. Britain’s immediate political problem in a nutshell— a special-interest group influences, and as good as controls, both main System parties.

Of course, I have no idea whether Paul Mason is or is not actually an agent of one or another secret government service, as many claim, but he has always struck me as being inherently unreliable, and not very trustworthy in any respect. That’s my honest opinion, anyway. Also, Mason is a little too enthusiastic about the idea of locking people up for their views…

Well, one of the comments on the blog (made allegedly by me) that “got me into trouble” over the past year or three referenced Jewish/Zionist/Israeli influence in the USA, and/or the mindset of many Americans who (influenced by TV, radio, and Press) blindly support the Israel lobby, so I had better not say too much here about “freedom” in the supposed “land of freedom”…

It’s strange…as recently as the 1970s, Britain had almost complete free speech on political, social, historical and other topics. What a contrast to today’s “iron fist in velvet glove” repression, abused by —mainly— the groups associated with the Jewish lobby and Israel; the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] etc.

I think that, eventually, the huge defensive works undertaken by the Kiev-regime forces will lie abandoned by their former defenders. Already, the regime is using press-gangs to “recruit” soldiers, and is slowly running out of arms, ammunition, and other supplies.

The attacker appears to be seen walking along the street with a large blade in his hand

[above, the “suspect”, a denizen of Britain’s wonderfully “diverse” multikulti society. Does anyone seriously think that a better society can ever develop when untermenschen of that sort inhabit the UK, or Europe generally? Indeed, can even our existing society be maintained?].

Even now, if I say or write something about how British society is steadily collapsing into chaotic dystopia, many will smugly smirk, “knowing better”. What will it take before those people start to listen, properly hear, then combine to do something about it all?

Because the leaderships of both System parties follow the Coudenhove-Kalergi agenda: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Practical-Idealism-Kalergi-destroy-European/dp/1913057097.

Our society is going either to collapse or to explode; maybe both. That situation, either way, will see the best chance ever for social nationalism in the UK, and the best chance in Europe generally since Germany awoke in 1933, then plunged into defeat in 1945.

Starmer will be an unpopular PM, indeed an unpopular, if “elected”, quasi-dictator. I could say more but regular readers will know that I am restricted at present.

True but, as far as GE 2024 is concerned, the electorate will not be voting for Labour, they will be voting against the Conservative Party which has ruined so much over the past 14 years.

Both System parties are enemies of the people.
