A thought out of season

I was just thinking about those who have declared themselves enemies over the past 14 years. The majority have died; others are almost dead; yet others have suffered various severe blows of Fate.

I have no idea who that woman is but she parrots the usual Labourite nonsense that one hears from the likes of Lisa Nandy, Rachel Reeves, and other Labour careerist clowns and “multiculturalists”: “our communities“, “our NHS” etc.

They speak a different language, a kind of pseudo-communitarian gobbledegook about how “people” would “get on together” entirely happily, were it not for “divisive rhetoric” from Reform, Restore, or the “far right” (or others).

My strong feeling is that people such as that useless woman are going to be swept away in coming years.

[“Could Henry Nowak have survived? Dr. Krzysztof Magier @DrMagier, a pediatrician and former honorary consul of the Republic of Poland in Cowes, analyzed footage from a police body camera showing Henry Nowak’s death. Dr. Magier heads the pediatric intensive care unit, with experience in combat medicine training and a specialized course in treating severe injuries (including gunshot and stab wounds). He disagrees with the pathologist’s and judge’s opinion that Henry Nowak had no chance of survival and that handcuffing him essentially changed nothing. On the contrary—there is a high likelihood that the police intervention contributed to his death. He analyzed the autopsy report, which points to damage to the subclavian vein as the main source of bleeding, and explains where the problem lies. In a healthy person, venous bleeding occurs under low pressure and often self-limits thanks to the naturally forming clot, while simply approximating the wound edges and compressing the surrounding tissues closes the vein enough to slow or even stop the bleeding. The body camera footage shows that when police arrived on the scene (likely 5-10 minutes after the injury), Henry was conscious enough to speak quite loudly. He was therefore not yet in a terminal state. After his arms were twisted behind his back and handcuffed, the vein was most likely stretched, the clot torn, and bleeding dramatically intensified. Within just about three minutes, he lost consciousness and died. People with suspected internal injuries should never be moved or yanked abruptly—such actions can destroy the natural clot and lead to massive internal hemorrhage. Instead of immediately calling a medical rescue team and handing the patient over to paramedics, the police handcuffed him. If paramedics had arrived first on the scene, Henry’s chances of survival would have been much higher. “50%”—writes Dr. Magier. Paramedics could have quickly started an IV, administered fluids to increase circulating blood volume, and tranexamic acid to stabilize the clot, and if needed, performed needle decompression (inserting a large, long needle into the lung), because the issue wasn’t so much lack of lung function, but compression of the blood-filled lung on the heart and mediastinum, which blocks circulation. Worse still, the incident took place just a few minutes’ drive by car (2–3 minutes by ambulance with sirens) from Southampton University Hospital—a regional Major Trauma Centre equipped with a full team of specialists, procedures, and equipment. “I am convinced that if Henry had arrived there alive, the doctors would not have let him die”—writes Dr. Magier. In summary: the aggressive police intervention, instead of saving a life, led to death through improper handling of a severely injured person, even though world-class care was just minutes away. “I fear the Judge and pathologist were too lenient toward the police”—writes Dr. Magier.”]

Looks like the police might face a civil action on that basis, potentially.

I rarely support what the Israelis do, but had this murder taken place in Israel/Palestine, had the victim been a Jew, and had the murderer been a Palestinian Arab, the house of the murderer responsible would have been demolished by a bulldozer regardless of the culpability or not of the murderer’s family (in this case, the mother has already been found guilty of an ancillary offence, and others of the family have been charged and arraigned).

That stupid Labourite woman on the Peston TV show should see this, though she is the type that is impervious to evidence that challenges her ingrained views. “Second and third generation…” too. Happens in Belgium, the UK, Germany, France, Scandinavia, and elsewhere. We need to clear them out, and save what is left of Europe.

Whatever it takes.

Yes, everything worthwhile in the UK was built by British or other closely-associated white European people. The problem is that lesser breeds are now infesting much of it (the country and its institutions). Politically and socially-subversive types also infest our institutions, often at a high level.

We are on the downward path.

[“The rife anti-white filth that has infected Britain goes so much further than the police – that cancer runs much, much deeper.

Young white men – treated like dirt exactly because they are white. It is blatant racism, and politicians should have the courage to say so.

Our institutions now seem perfectly comfortable judging people by the colour of their skin, provided that skin happens to be white.

Universities. Hospitals. Councils. Military. Police. It is EVERYWHERE.

White British men are told we are privileged regardless of our circumstances. We are told we should sit quietly by whilst opportunities, resources and funds are deliberately allocated to ethnic minorities.

I say no. Enough.

This has happened as a white British boy died in the street, begging for help. Ignored and left to die, because an ethnic minority murderer accused him of racism.

But outlining the issue is not enough. Not now. No more talk. We need solutions.

Identifying the rot is only the beginning. Here is what a Restore Britain Government will do to rip it out.

  • Repeal the Equality Act 2010 in full, and repeal the laws it replaced, especially the various iterations of the Race Relations Act.

Initially sold as a simple non-discrimination duty in public places, these Acts have over time amounted to a series of escalating discriminatory attacks on white people.

The 2000 amendment imposed a statutory duty upon public bodies to ‘promote racial equality’ following the MacPherson Report. We’re told this Act supposedly prohibits racial discrimination, but the principles it enshrined in law are now being used to promote racial discrimination against white people. It is unacceptable, and has reached far beyond its original remit.

The Equality Act 2010 consolidated all of the previous Race Relations Acts into one anti-white monstrosity.

  • Repeal all laws which punish ‘racist’ speech, including Part III of the Public Order Act 1986 – which criminalises ‘incitement to racial hatred’.
  • Repeal law which requires courts to treat racial hostility as an aggravating factor when sentencing offences.
  • Replace it all with one simple act that ensures every British citizen is equal before the law and positively outlaws anti-white discrimination, so as to prevent activist judges from reading their own prejudices into the law.
  • Ban race-based, sex-based and religion-based quotas in public bodies and private companies.
  • Prohibit recruitment schemes restricted to particular ethnic groups.
  • End mandatory DEI training across government, local authorities, police and NHS bodies.
  • Ban positive discrimination in hiring and promotion.
  • Outlaw race-specific graduate schemes and internships.
  • End taxpayer funding for DEI officers or schemes across the entire public sector.

Restore Britain is committed to rooting out all laws, practices, and norms that systematically discriminate against white people.

It will end. I promise you that.

A Restore Britain Government will restore fairness for all.

That includes white people.“]

[Rupert Lowe MP]

Very positive from Lowe.

In fact, the Reform/Restore rivalry, though a problem in terms of vote-splitting at elections, is a great thing in terms of moving the “Overton Window”. Already we see that the public discourse is moving, and quite rapidly moving now.

Farage and Reform are scrabbling to keep up with Lowe and Restore, and the public, many of them, are up front with Restore in terms of their views, in my judgment, even though Reform is still far better known, and has a higher profile (as has Farage). Lowe is also willing to stand up a bit against the Jewish lobby, against kosher/kashrut slaughter etc.

As for the Con-selfservatives, they have been left far behind, despite the recently-increased propaganda support in the msm. Toast.

As said, though, what matters is that the public mood is fast-hardening against the decline in our society.

I agree with Ms. Meaden. No kneeling. Only concrete action.

Another “beggar on horseback” (as in “if a beggar is given a horse, he rides it to death“). Get rid of him and all like him.

Jones is exposed as a complete sycophant, liar, and puppet of Mandelson, the deviant Jew tied in with the sex criminal Epstein and the rest of that Jew/Israeli cabal, who ran a huge Israeli honeytrap, espionage and intelligence operation for years, drawing in everyone from Clinton to “Prince” Andrew (Andrew Windsor) and hundreds of others. Arrest them all.

They think that replacing one joker with another will win the game. I doubt it; the whole pack consists of anti-British elements.

I take little interest in sports, but it is a nice picture.

Quite interesting, and for me reminiscent of the house by Lewisham Park, a Victorian/Edwardian park in south-east London (between Lewisham and Catford), where I lived for a year (1983-84), until I started my law degree at the superannuated age of 28. I had a large room with a kitchenette, a sitting area with sofas and armchairs, and a door onto a tiny high-walled private garden separate from the main garden.

I piled my bed high with soft sheepskins, and subsisted much of the time on “grechka” (boiled, then fried, buckwheat grains) and lemon tea.

My landlady there was a rather frosty dragon called Mrs. Moore who, in the mid/late 1940s, had been an officer of military intelligence in India. She always called military intelligence “MI“.

Mrs. Moore lived, like me, on the ground floor, and was very strict about her tenants (of which I believe there were several, though I rarely saw or even heard anyone) notifying their presence or absence via a system of wooden slats by the large front door. Those slats said “In”, “Out”, or “Away” by a list of the room numbers; “Away” was for when people expected to be out overnight or longer.

One night I was “away” but notified only “out”, so Mrs Moore did not double-bolt the front door. I was criticized by her for my failure, and the consequent potential security breach, when I returned the following day.

That house was later demolished (late 1980s, I think), and a sheltered housing building, St. Mauritius House, hugely ugly (one can view it via Google Earth), constructed on the site. Today, a passer-by would have no idea that a pleasant little bit of 19th/20thC social history and domestic architecture ever existed there.

Times past…

She also oversaw a law (for my maternity leave) that described me as a ‘pregnant person’ so as not to offend trans people. Even after backlash, she would not include the word ‘woman’. We had to settle on ‘mother’.

And she plans to come back and lead the Party.

Why are msm outlets giving a washed-up ex-MP like Penny Mordaunt any airtime? Is there really some idea that she might become an MP again? Highly unlikely. A GE might not be until 2029, and she is already 53.

“In April 2025, Mordaunt began a part-time paid role with British American Tobacco, as part of its transformation advisory board; she also started paid work with maritime technology company Sub Sea Craft.[97][98]

In July 2025, she co-authored a report into antisemitism in the UK with Labour peer Lord Mann commissioned by the Board of Deputies of British Jews.[99]

In September 2025, Mordaunt was appointed President of the Southend-based charity, The Music Man Project, which provides music education and performance opportunities to people with disabilities. She succeeded former Southend West MP David Amess.[100]

[Wikipedia]

The Jewish lobby favour her; I suppose that explains why she is still occasionally on TV.

Incidentally, while she was, technically, a Cabinet minister, it was only for 85 days!

I think that the directors of such anti-British companies should be held personally accountable.

[“The Mail on Sunday can reveal today that Keir Starmer’s team received a briefing from security sources in 2023 about Peter Mandelson that included:

  • The revelation his friendship with Epstein dated back to 2006
  • The pair were being monitored by Russian intelligence, who viewed their relationship as “close”
  • Soviet intelligence began targeting Mandelson as far back as the late 1980’s
  • British and EU intelligence officials were so concerned about his business links with Putin ally Oleg Deripaska they advised him to cut off links. Including ending his use of Deripaska’s private jet.”]

In my view, most Jews, with their —almost-always— dual (or even triple) loyalties, cannot be employed in government.

Farage himself triggered such speculation by allowing to join Reform a whole host of washed-up ex-Con politicians, some of them non-European, some of them guilty former expenses cheats.

For me, there is only one reason to hope that Reform UK does well, and that is to use it as a battering-ram to break down the existing rigged System-party scam by mortally-wounding both Lab and Con.

The amount of vegetables that can be grown on a small patch, say 20 x 20 feet (400 square feet, which is only about 1% of an acre) is incredible. Ask Google AI.

Some types of food crop need virtually no skill or effort to grow; examples include broccoli, tomato, peppers, cucumber, courgettes.

Obviously, horticultural skill, husbandry effort, varieties planted, and installed glasshouses (which may be basic or may have automated irrigation, temperature control, sun control etc) make a big difference to volume grown but, in principle, much can be grown without great expense, knowledge, or effort.

For example, in the South of England, in the open, a plot 20 x 20 feet might result in an annual broccoli crop of between 100 and 400 pounds weight.

We in the UK, and elsewhere, are looking at the possibility of social and economic breakdown in the coming decades. Anyone with at least some land, even if only a suburban garden, should be looking at ways to supplement external food supplies and/or stored canned food with home-produced fruit and vegetables.

I know families eating from foodbanks to service the rent. I actually feel sick because I know next year when the rent goes up again I wont have much more to cut back on. I’m getting closer to the HMO. This is why people aren’t saving towards pensions.“]

If you want to know why people are desperately casting around for a political alternative to the LibLabCon System parties, the above is at least part of the reason. There is no one obvious alternative to Lab/Con, but a number of contending parties are getting traction: Reform UK, Green Party, Restore Britain are the best-known.

At some point, landlord parasitism has to be reined-in.

…and without white populations, the black “states” of Africa and the Caribbean etc will return to barbarism. In fact that is already happening, but is partly-disguised by the existence of (dwindling) white European minorities in countries such as South Africa, Zimbabwe (former Rhodesia) and elsewhere, by the presence also of foireign aid projects, also by the work of NGOs helping with both expertise and money, and further by the presence of “Western” (European, North American etc) capitalist enterprises running oilfields, mines, banks, manufacturing plants etc.

Quite.

I propose the following: that anyone should have the right to go to university, so long as the university itself is willing to accept that applicant, but that only the top 10% of applicants (however determined, and there would be a debate to be had about how to define the “top 10%“) should get grants for full tuition costs, and full (as decided) subsistence costs.

The next layer, say 30% of applicants, would have their tuition paid but not their living costs, and they would have to take out student loans for that, which loans would have to be repaid in the future, no matter what.

The remaining 60% of applicants would also have to take out student loans, but for both tuition and subsistence.

Harsh, yes, but I think necessary.

One could imagine also that students willing to undertake studies particularly favoured by the State might get bonus amounts, if approved as suitable, just as Army, Navy, Marine, and Air Force scholarships are presently paid to suitable students at UK universities, which students undertake to serve as officers for a few years after graduation.

Why not extend that to a range of studies directly useful to the State or society generally?

In fact, persons willing to train vocationally but not at university, in fields useful to the State or society, people such as nurses, plumbers, bricklayers etc, should also be able to get grants.

Rather different to the picture usually painted by the Jews, “antifascists” etc…

I myself have been called, a few times in the past, though not very often, on Twitter and elsewhere, “a knuckledragger” (only once, I think), “stupid“, “idiot“, “needing education” etc, despite my having been tested (1980s, admittedly) at IQ 156.

As a matter of fact, correspondence I have seen suggests that the Jew-Zionist cabals at least (i.e. not the “antifascist” loonies) paint a rather different picture of me when they have complained to “the authorities” about me. After all, if your opponent is a stupid or silly fellow, why is he such an alleged danger to society?

Imagine that: as late as 1941, there were still 70,000 Jews living freely in, not even the Reich as a whole, but just in Berlin itself! After 2 years of war, and after 8 years of National Socialist government!

Again, the picture of National Socialist Germany painted by the “approved” System historians and the Jew-Zionist element is seen to be largely untrue.

Stop importing a million blacks, browns and Chinese (etc) every year. Start getting rid of unwanted individuals and groups. Make rent-parasitism, and buy-to-let landlordism etc illegal.

No matter how many houses you build, the influx of migrant-invaders (and breeding by them and those already embedded here) will outstrip the supply.

The council-house sell-offs of the 1980s/1990s were disastrous for society. The present housing crisis was partly caused by that, partly by the subsequent and partly consequent buy-to-let explosion, and partly by reason of the migration invasion.

A good idea. In Downing Street itself, not in Whitehall.

If the Suez Canal is blocked, as well as the Strait of Hormuz, the economic consequences for Europe especially will be huge.

So another win for Reform.

Jew/Israeli mafia/cabal.

Israeli lobby in Labour, now largely though not entirely exposed.

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…

The housing shortages in the UK are almost entirely by reason of mass immigration, and births to non-Europeans.

Horrifying

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14822053/MPs-vote-decriminalise-abortion-law-change.html

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.

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.

More Israeli war crimes

[“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.”

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.

Yet more Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/16/doctors-describe-carnage-iran-hospitals-israel-strikes

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.

Swifts

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/17/swifts-decline-uk-birds-swift-bricks

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.

The Israelis are not like us. They are alien. Their supporters in the UK should be deported and/or otherwise punished.

The Israelis claim, for foreign consumption, that Israel does not practise a form of apartheid, but it obviously does. This is only one of many examples.

Trump shows every sign of reverting to what he was 9 years ago— a squawking parrot surrounded on all sides by a phalanx of Jews.

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.

Even the way things are in the UK now, hard to believe that that is the “Deputy Prime Minister”.

Good news, if true, though possibly leaked by Israel and designed to push Trump into getting directly involved in bombing Iran.

“They” are manipulating the entire Western world.

(make that “40 years on…”)

You can never believe a word “they” say.

[“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.

Typical American ignorance. That cretin, Ted Cruz, is a U.S. Senator, and tipped by some as a potential U.S. President.

On that basis, Reform 326 MPs (and a bare majority), Lab 129, Con 76, LibDem 50, SNP 39.

Different from other recent polls in that the Cons have edged ahead of Labour in terms of popular vote, though not enough to go ahead in terms of Commons seats; however, the Cons are seen there as the third-biggest party in the Commons, not, as in most other recent polls, fifth-placed. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Ah…

No comment necessary.

He says it with a straight face. Do “they” ever tell the truth?

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.

Iran is defending itself. Israel is the aggressor. Israel attacked without declaration of war and without any warning, and Israel drew first blood.

Whether guilty or not, they are probably not having a good day. I have no idea how efficient Iranian security may be; in the days of the Shah, SAVAK was feared, and its reach extended well beyond Iran itself.

SAVAK’s last three chiefs all met similar ends in the same year, 1979, after the fundamentalist clerics seized power in Iran: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAK.

I think that, if a particular people has been expelled from dozens, indeed hundreds, of states and territories over the centuries, it is legitimate to ask why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsions_and_exoduses_of_Jews.

[“Gideon Lifi, Haaretz journalist:

Everything is paralyzed. Everything is at a standstill. The economy is at a standstill, you can’t live like this. I don’t think Israeli society will be able to tolerate this situation for long.

We feel safe in public shelters, but not everyone has access to these shelters. There are many people who have no shelter from danger.

At first, we were all happy because we were witnessing important achievements in Tehran. But everything changed quickly because the price we had to pay became high, and I fear that this price and cost we are paying will be much higher.

I don’t think Israeli society can tolerate this situation for weeks or a whole month or years. The airports are closed. There is no way in or out. Life here is not easy.”]

There are still plenty of people around who do not understand that Labour, as understood during almost all of the 20thC, ceased to exist during the 1990s, which was why it was called “New Labour” for a while. A different party supplanted 90% of what had been Labour.

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…
