“Tsahkna was born in Tartu, Estonia. In 1995, he graduated from a secondary school. From 1996 to 2002, he studied theology and law at the University of Tartu, without graduating. Between 1999 and 2000 he also studied international law at the University of Toronto, without graduating.”
He reminds me of that Scottish Labour idiot, Jim Murphy, now one of Blair’s gophers, who was a perennial student, spending 12 years at university without graduation before dropping out to become an MP, and who ran Labour in Scotland into the ground: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Murphy#Early_life_and_career.

Jewish/Israeli money corrupts politics across the Western world. In the UK, all major parties are contaminated.
One does not have to be a Corbyn “supporter” —and no-one has ever accused me of that!— to see that the Jewish/Israeli lobby conspired against him, and finally had him toppled so that another (as it turned out, Starmer-stein) could pose as Labour leader. Thus, of the 2 main System parties of a few years ago, both were now back under (((control))), one having briefly escaped.
Reform UK, as I predicted, has now, now that it looks like being a, possibly the, major party, fallen almost totally under that very same influence and control…

“MPs have voted in favour of measures to decriminalise women terminating their own pregnancies in the biggest change to the law on reproductive rights for half a century.
Women will no longer face prosecution for aborting their own baby for any reason and at any stage up to birth under the proposed legislation, which was backed by 379 votes to 137 on Tuesday night.”
[Daily Mail]
Horrifying. A form of infanticide or even murder, in lay terms. The deliberate killing of a completely viable foetus (which after all only means unborn baby). When you consider that it is commonplace for babies to be born days or even weeks prematurely, and then go on to thrive, this proposed law, which will obviously become law now, decriminalizes the killing of any unborn child, even if done only hours, minutes, seconds even, before actual birth, and for any reason whatsoever, so long as the expectant mother does the killing. Truly horrifying.
379 MPs voted for this abomination. These people don’t represent us – they are enemies of humanity. pic.twitter.com/KEFklaGaTD
Not sure whether the new law will validate that, exactly, because the killing will (from what I have read, anyway) have to be by the mother to escape legal sanction.

[“Witnesses have described scenes like “a horror movie” in Gaza after Israeli forces fired towards a crowd waiting for trucks loaded with flour near Khan Younis, on one of the bloodiest days for weeks in the devastated territory.
At least 51 Palestinians were reported to have been killed and hundreds more wounded in the southern city. People at the scene and doctors described seeing injured and dead with wounds typical of those caused by artillery or tank fire. Unverified video shared on social media showed about a dozen mangled bodies lying in a street.
Multiple other incidents of violence involving crowds of desperate Palestinians trying to get food were reported on Tuesday.
The Israeli military acknowledged firing in the area of the crowd in Khan Younis and said it was looking into the incident.
The IDF said it was aware of reports of casualties “from IDF fire.”
[Guardian]
What the Israeli Jews in uniform do is not so much a copy of what the German SS are alleged to have done in WW2 (there are no similar recorded instances, in fact) but a kind of horrific and ahistorical parody of what the Jews (Israeli and other) claim the SS were like.
“The stream of wounded in Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran had been steady since Friday. On Sunday evening it became a flood. A renewed wave of Israeli strikes on Iran’s capital overwhelmed the hospital’s emergency unit, turning it into what one doctor described as a “bloodbath”.
“It was a bloodbath. We were overwhelmed by chaos and the screams of grieving family members. Dozens upon dozens of people with life-threatening injuries, minor wounds and even bodies were brought in,” a doctor at the emergency unit of the hospital told the Guardian on Monday under condition of anonymity.
As fighting between Israel and Iran entered its fourth day, Iranian hospitals were receiving a surge of wounded people, overwhelming medical facilities and exhausted personnel. Medical staff described scenes of bloody chaos and an influx of injured people that has only seemed to grow as Israeli strikes increased in intensity.
I’ve seen toddlers, teenagers, adults and the elderly alike. Profusely bleeding mothers were rushing in with their children injured by shrapnel,” the doctor said, adding that some parents did not realise they themselves were injured until they put their children down.“
[Guardian]
So…Israeli Jews killing children and others from the air. Of course, the Jews say that noticing such facts about their behaviour constitutes a so-called “blood libel”…
“Swifts’ decline: how can Britons help these remarkable birds?
Campaigners are calling for compulsory ‘swift bricks’ in new homes to provide nesting sites.
What are swifts and why are they in trouble?
The swift (Apus apus) is an acrobatic aerial bird, a remarkable sprinter and endurance flyer that rarely touches the ground. When these sickle-winged birds do come down – after several years in perpetual flight, even sleeping midair – it is to nest in the eaves of roofs across Europe after spending winters in sub-Saharan Africa, migrating 7,000 miles (11,000km) every year. They are celebrated by nature lovers, artists and poets as they race through city skies on long summer evenings, filling the air with their screaming calls.
The fastest bird in level flight (top speed: 69mph/111kph), they feed on airborne insects. Swifts are in trouble because of steep declines in insects, but also because they are losing traditional nesting sites. Swifts once nested in caves and hollow trees but moved into buildings hundreds of years ago. Modern insulation, particularly in roofs, removes the crevices and cavities where they have nested for centuries.
What are the prospects for swifts?
Grim. Swift populations in Britain slumped by 66% between 1995 and 2022 and have continued a rapid downward trend. Since the last count of 59,000 breeding pairs, the population this summer is set to be just 40,000 pairs. In five years’ time there could be fewer than 25,000, unless action is taken.
A swift brick is a hollow brick that slots into the brickwork of new or old homes, providing a cavity where swifts can nest. The bricks have also been found to help other cavity-nesting birds, including the rapidly declining red-listed house martin, house sparrow and starling. Other species including blue tits, great tits, nuthatches and wrens will also nest in the bricks.
Swift bricks are made by brick manufacturers large and small, and typically cost about £35. There is a British standard for them and some developers are already fitting them to new homes.

Well, we shall soon know.
Had the Arabs (inter se) and Iranians not been so divided over the past 80 years, Israel would not now exist. Now look: one by one, the Israelis, via their influence over Washington, London, Paris, have had taken down for them all their surrounding potential enemies— Lebanon (invaded, part-occupied), Jordan (suborned), the Gulf Arabs and Saudis (suborned), Egypt (defeated and then suborned), Libya, Iraq, Syria etc. Only Iran and Yemen are left standing.

[“Official statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: The eleventh wave of the proud Operation True Promise 3, using the first generation Fatah missiles, marks the beginning of the end of the mythical air defense of the Zionist army, the confusion and self-destruction of the Zionist villains. We congratulate you, commanders and loyal fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force. Fattah’s powerful and maneuverable missiles, having penetrated the anti-missile shield tonight, repeatedly shook the shelters of the Zionist cowards and conveyed a message of Iranian strength to Tel Aviv’s military ally, which lives in illusions and empty dreams. Today’s missile strike showed that we have complete control over the skies over the occupied territories, and their residents are completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks.“]
Russia could, in theory, tell the United States that, should the US bomb Iran, Russia will bomb or rocket Israel. That would stalemate the situation, and stop the Americans from attacking Iran. It might also trigger WW3, though, and make “Armageddon” reality, both in Israel/Palestine and elsewhere.
However, Putin will not want to get Russia directly involved.
So far, Russia is winning all ways: the oil price is rocketing, gold is rocketing too, and Russia is one of the largest producer-states of both.
Also, Trump has apparently signalled to Zelensky and the Kiev regime that American military aid hitherto given to Kiev will be cut back, and priority given to the Middle East. That, as Russian forces press forward on all relevant sectors of the overall front.
In short, Putin is winning the geopolitical chess game.

If it is true that Israel will run out of ground to air missiles within a week, and if it is also true that Iran still has thousands of missiles of various types, then Tel Aviv really will soon start to look like flattened Gaza as those Iranian missiles rain down, unimpeded, onto their targets.
Stray thought
Amusing to see rubbish newspapers in the UK, such as the Daily Mirror, talking about what occupations might be exempt from conscription if WW3 were to start! In the nuclear age, when immensely powerful missiles can reach UK targets in minutes (I am told, maybe 8 minutes) from launch sites thousands of miles away…
I wonder how many people actually read and believe all this 1940-cosplay?
The fact remains that, in any continental-level war, with Russia on one side, and NATO states on the other, the UK would quite soon be a charred and irradiated giant bombsite. In that terrible scenario, the Daily Mirror, the other “lying Press” outlets, and warmongers such as Tobias Ellwood, would be among the first to go (whether with a bang or a whimper).
Alternative idea: Britain enters into loose alliance with Russia, leaves NATO, kicks the EU hierarchy to the kerb (while maintaining correct relations with all European powers and peoples), and stands opposed to fanatical Jewish Zionism, extreme Islamism, and all other negative influences in the world.

That process, connected to the overall collapse of socialism after 1989, has continued in the UK to the extent that Starmer, or Starmer-stein, now sounds far more like Conservative Party leader than a Labour one. Why is that? Because he is more like one…
