“PETER HITCHENS: Stop worshipping MI5 – it’s just a Blairite secret police force with a budget to boost

[Daily Mail]

Ha. I should like to read that but it is behind a paywall, and I refuse to pay.

London. Zoo.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13952631/Rapists-jailed-girl-Met-Police-Tube.html

Three men who filmed themselves while gang raping a 13-year-old girl have been jailed  have been jailed for a total of 34 and a half years.”

Odds-on that the 13-y-o victim was white.

Incidentally, the misleading Daily Mail report talks about “34 and a half years” whereas, in fact, the heaviest sentence was one of 12.5 years, meaning that the untermensch will be released in about 6 years.

Rhetorical question: do we need such untermenschen in our society? Of course not.

Imagine what this poor country will be like in 2034, 2044, 2054. If you encounter another actual English person, you will have to greet him by saying “hello, Robinson Crusoe!“…

“Traveller” pest

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13940739/Travellers-illegal-camp-woodland-smell-noise-hell.html

“Travellers who illegally set up camp next to family homes have finally been given the boot – but only after distressed neighbours endured years of ‘misery’, ‘noise’ and ‘stench’ at their hands.

Shocking aerial photos show the state the land has been left in following an expensive legal battle by the council to win back the plot which lies in the picturesque Kent village of Vigo, near Gravesend.

[Daily Mail]

The so-called “traveller” menace is one of the biggest law and order problems in the UK, but the police and politicians are unwilling to do what it takes to “solve” that problem.

Can you imagine this chaos and official weakness happening during the 12 years of the German Reich of 1933-1945? I think not.

As with so many aspects of life in contemporary Britain, the people suffer while evildoers prosper.

Roma gypsy convicted

[defendant]

https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/24643626.buckinghamshire-mobile-phone-thief-caught-red-handed-cctv/

A serial thief who targeted restaurant customers in Buckinghamshire and Berkshire has been caught on CCTV swiping a mobile phone from an unassuming victim.

Nirex Stanescu, 24, was jailed for eight months after pleading guilty to nine counts of mobile phone theft at Reading Crown Court on Friday, September 27.”

[Reading Chronicle]

A few points to note: firstly, that the Reading Chronicle does not identify the defendant as a Roma Gypsy (other than by publishing a photo). The newspaper does not even take the usual msm-weasel approach of calling her “Romanian”, which is so often seen but rarely strictly correct (the Roma gypsies are, ethnically, not Romanians, as such, even when they hold Romanian passports and/or live in Romania).

Secondly, the woman in question is obviously a persistent nuisance, yet is sentenced to only 8 months (for a total of 9 offences), meaning that she will do 40% of c.32 weeks, about 12 weeks.

Thirdly, why is she even (allowed) here? Get rid of her, and all the others like her, and stop similar trash from entering the country.

Reform UK is still “controlled opposition”. Goodwin himself is welcome on TV etc, and is pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby. All the same, Reform UK is helping to break down the existing structure.

“They” are behind much of the migration-invasion.

The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan. [“They” have vandalized the Wikipedia entry, but it still gives the overall picture].

When I was (wrongfully) put on trial in 2023, Prosecution Counsel made a pathetic suggestion that the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan was a (mere) “conspiracy theory“. I answered quite firmly that it certainly was not, and that all he had to do was to open his eyes to what was happening all around him. He did not attempt to take the matter further.

For those unaware that I was subjected to a free speech trial last year, please see:

Israel’s “Warsaw Ghetto”, but the (Israeli) Jews often treat the Gazans far worse than the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto were treated.

…and “those” (((those))) in the UK, France etc who support what the Israeli forces are doing are not only supporters but also propagandists, facilitators, agents, and fundraisers for the Israeli state and its war crimes.

What goes around comes around…

Reports that Halevi, the Israeli Chief of Staff, has been killed are at time of writing unconfirmed.

News reports are also suggesting that weapons due to be used against Iran “by Israel” will in fact be operated by American serving soldiers or Air Force personnel. If so, that constitutes a direct act of war by the USA against Iran.

That will be, increasingly, the fate of British people (and European people generally) unless and until we take back control.

In Ireland, but there are undoubtedly similar crimes being committed in the UK.

ps. I could suggest a couple of extra policies to add to that list.

…and illegal migration invasion is only 10% or even only 5% of all immigration into the UK. A looming catastrophe for us.

For those with eyes to see, Starmer hits all the buttons: Israel lobby, Jewish lobby, Bilderberg Group, freemasonry, WEF/Davos, you name it.

Starmer is basically just a traitor to the people of this country, and unfit to be Prime Minister.

My opinion is that Mark Lewis of Patron Law is a seriously dodgy solicitor who should be struck off. The basis of that opinion is that Lewis continued to advise the defendants in my case after he identified a conflict between him and the defendants. Example: Lewis wrote the closing speech at trial for one of the defendants. The judge thought he was hearing from the defendant, but he was really hearing from Lewis. And hearing from Lewis six months after he came off the court record. What worries me is the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Lewis’ partners at Patron Law know Lewis’ conduct is appallingly bad, but they are not taking action to stop him.

[James Wilson]

As far as the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority is concerned, it will only take action once an official complaint has been laid. Posting on Twitter/X may alert some members of the public to Lewis’s fraudulent and/or negligent behaviour, but will not in itself get the SRA to act.

Regular readers of the blog will know that I have repeatedly written about Lewis’s fakery, dishonesty, and negligence. Lewis started both to attack me on Twitter openly and also to conspire covertly with others of the UK Jewish lobby to make malicious complaints against me around 2012— complaints to the Bar Standards Board, complaints to the police, complaints to the Crown Prosecution Service. About 12 years of malicious behaviour.

Lewis is or was prominent in both “UK Lawyers for Israel” [UKLFI”] and the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], both in effect volunteer arms of the Israeli state and Israeli Embassy in London.

See also:

Not “much of it“— all of it, if you include births to immigrant mothers, and births to English/British women impregnated by non-whites.

All part of the attempt by System scribblers, talking heads and political figures to bamboozle the British people and, in effect, brainwash them into accepting the multikulti society as normal and/or inevitable.

However, Matt Goodwin is really part of the “controlled opposition”, along with Farage, Reform UK etc. Pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby etc. You have to consider why the Daily Mail and mainstream TV find Goodwin acceptable when (for example) I would not be, and when (for example) Nick Griffin is or was not acceptable.

Out of millions of Ukrainians now living outside Ukraine, only 196 are foolish enough to want to be cannon-fodder for the Kiev regime.

What matters, though, is not how many missiles reached the target, but what damage was done, particularly to planes and to command and control installations. We do not know.

…because the Zelensky regime in Kiev is primarily Jewish-Zionist.

The Hamas incursion into southern Israel/Palestine a year ago resulted in the death of some 1,200 Israeli Jews; several hundred of which were in or connected to the armed forces or security organizations of Israel.

There is also the point that a great many of the Israelis killed seem to have been killed by “friendly fire”, by the armed forces of the Israeli state itself.

The Israeli retaliatory incursion into Gaza has so far killed some 42,000 Gazans. Over 100,000 others have been injured, a great number (about 22,500) with very severe injuries such as or requiring amputations. The majority of the killed and injured have been civilians (i.e. not Hamas personnel), and most of the killed and injured have been women and children.

One has to ask, at what point will the Israeli Jews —and those in countries such as the UK— consider that they have had their revenge? To talk about “a pound of flesh” etc scarcely covers the reality of somewhere around 150,000 people killed or injured. Already the bare proportion is about 1:140. 140 Gazans to every Israeli.

The aim for Europe must be to create a foundation or basis for a higher type of society based (as it must be) on a higher race-type. That, in turn, can provide the basis for a future quantum leap in evolution, a “super-race” if you like.

Wikipedia is infested with vandalism. A couple of years ago, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” advertised openly, on its own website, for Jews with Wikipedia accounts to collaborate with the “CAA” in “editing” (vandalizing) Wikipedia.

A doomed society.

That has been obvious from the start.

That is the obvious way forward.

Accurate… I spent 9 months in East Africa. It’s very hard to pinpoint exactly why it’s such a mess.

They have an infantile mentality and absolutely no commercial sense.

I once went about 10 miles down the road, in the middle of nowhere on the way to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and every 50 meters there was someone selling watermelon. I said to the driver, “Everyone is selling exactly the same product. Why don’t they try making watermelon juice or something different to stand out?” He replied, “But why would we do that? We like melon!”

That attitude was everywhere. In fact, I would sometimes meet Westerners who would say, “Isn’t it amazing how they’ve kept this piece of junk car going for 30 years?” And I’d reply, “It’s more amazing that we have automated car factories with robots.” They literally only focus on the immediate need. “Car not go today, car fixed with string and tape.

The only two factors preventing Britain and other European countries from retaking direct control of Africa, of all of Africa, are 1. socio-political will and 2. the fact that the (((globalists))) find it more convenient to exploit Africa’s resources via corrupt tiny “elites” in each fake African “state” (and to hell with the environment, the forests, the wildlife, and the African people themselves).

The fact is that European rule would benefit all, not least the ordinary Africans.

Incidentally, it would be a great deal easier than many imagine for Europe to reconquer Africa militarily. Only the two factors already noted make it at all hard.

Illiterate travel

I have just read this, https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/travel/sarajevo-guide-balkans-bosnia-and-herzegovina-b1176081.html, a travel piece in what I still call the Evening Standard, and written by well-known columnist Suzanne Moore. Not hugely interesting anyway, but then absurdly badly-written. An essay by a 10-year-old, at best. Or is the sub-editing to blame? Maybe someone pushed a few of the wrong buttons. Extraordinary. Read it and see.

I have read other pieces by Suzanne Moore which were written properly, so maybe it was the fault of the Standard.

Pretty accurate summing-up of “Starmer-ism”, in my opinion, “Blairism without the good bits“, though I do not recall many good bits then either, speaking personally.

As far as assisted dying is concerned, I see it as a generally well-meaning attempt to be kind, which however, put into policy and law, is the start of a slide to, eventually, somewhere down the line, killing people for convenience or money.

HS2 was a vanity project that never should have been approved. As far as I know, though, the other rail projects are or were useful.

Again, look at the “usual suspects”…

The “fake history” of the 1970s

That’s because you, “Steve Zodiac”, are apparently telling your grandchildren a load of old hooey…

I have blogged in the past about how very many people (including, weirdly, many who were at least in their teens then, and so actually of an age to remember) say, and even perhaps believe, that the 1970s in the UK were some kind of dark age in which the electricity was off most of the time, in which bodies were left unburied by reason of industrial action, in which trains and buses rarely ran, in which rubbish piled up in the towns and cities, in which there was a “three day week” when offices and factories were closed for four days each week, and in which life was generally miserable (for example, food was terrible, they say).

The above-noted fabled dystopia was, we are told, the result of overreaching trade union power and Labour misgovernment.

Where to start?

First of all, the party in power for the first 4 years of the 1970s was the Conservative Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_United_Kingdom_general_election, and of course Mrs Thatcher won again for the Conservatives in 1979: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_United_Kingdom_general_election.

In other words, out of the 10 years, Labour was in power for about 6 years. Labour government was in place from the early 1960s until mid-1970, then from early 1974 until mid-1979.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election.

One interesting fact is that, in the 1966 General Election, the “two main parties” (Lab/Con) got exactly 98% of Commons seats on just under 90% of the popular vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_United_Kingdom_general_election#Results.

Compare to 2024: 81.8% of seats based on 57.4% of the popular vote.

In 1966, the winning party (Labour) got 48% of the popular vote, the losing Conservatives 41.9%.

In 2024, Labour got 33.7%, and the losing Conservatives only 23.7%.

The electoral system has become not just unfair but also illogical and ridiculous. It no longer reflects reality.

Reverting to the general situation in the 1970s, the much-talked-about “Three Day Week” only affected, directly, commercial operations (which were banned from using electricity on the other four days). The Three Day Week only lasted for two months. Out of 10 years (120 months).

I saw the Three Day Week firsthand. I was working, aged just 18, as supposed assistant manager in a very small commercial intelligence outfit based in the Strand (London). The office only had 5 people including me, though we did have a network of mostly ad-hoc agents all over the southern and eastern parts of England (anywhere south or southwest of The Wash). Much of the work was in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Essex. The agents were often retired Army officers who, on being contacted, would —eagerly— say something such as “right-oh, old boy. I’ll fire up the Rover and get onto it.”

I must do a blog post sometime about it.

There were, in the early 1970s, strikes by coal miners etc, resulting in a few brief power cuts (“outages”, as the Americans say), but they lasted for a few hours a day, for a few days. Out of 10 years, again.

In the “Winter of Discontent” (1978-79), there were, for a few weeks, situations in some towns and cities whereby rubbish piled up, yes; that much of the “fable” is true, but only for a brief time. As for the “bodies left unburied“, that only applied in Liverpool and Manchester and only for 14 days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent#Gravediggers’_strike.

In fact, though the 1970s had its problems political, social, economic, Britain still had possibilities. The population was still almost entirely white Northern European, new ideas and projects were around or developing (the Milton Keynes conurbation, the Open University, new express trains, cross-Channel hovercraft etc), and the absurd and damaging house-price madness, though it had started, was still in its early stages.

Britain still had a functioning Army, Navy, Air Force (etc), and a police force that mainly did its expected job and was not usually the sort of poundshop Stasi we now see, snooping on or “monitoring” the expression of views and opinions.

Incidentally, the food was OK back then on the whole. Slightly less cosmopolitan, yes, but in the South of England at least, foreign foods such as hummus, taramasalata, olives, Indian, Chinese, etc were ubiquitous. In fact, some food was better and more available back then.

What I find worrying is not only that people who were not there, or were small children, are convinced that England in 1970-1979 was a dark and gloomy place; more that people who were there seem to have substituted, for what actually happened, a kind of folk-tale.

As for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Largan, who was parachuted into the constituency of High Peak (Derbyshire) and served as MP from GE 2019 to GE 2024, he was only born in 1987.

If people cannot recall accurately the 1970s, how much less accurate must be the “memories”, often publicized, of the 1930s and 1940s.

The Israeli terror-state is out of control.

A horrible tribe.

An indictment, not only of Liz Truss herself, an idiot-on-a-stick who only became an MP in the first place on her back, but also of the “Conservative” Party and the whole political system of this country, that allows idiots to attain to the highest office: David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson, Liz Truss, the little Indian money-juggler (Sunak), and now the latest Israel-lobby puppet, Starmer.

Look at the candidates left in the contest to become “Conservative” Party leader: all Israel-lobby/Jewish lobby puppets. One Nigerian woman (Kemi Badenoch), one low-IQ half-African (James Cleverly), one part-Jew former chocolate soldier (Tugendhat), and one oddly-promoted and completely corrupt money-grubber married to a Jewish woman lawyer (Jenrick).

Even the mainly ignorant and/or naive public does not want them.

The idea seems to be that, as fake “Labour” messes up, the “Conservatives” will return to public favour. Don’t count on it. At GE 2024, 8 out of 20 eligible voters refused to vote at all. Also, 2 out of 20 voted for underwhelming Reform UK, despite its flaws and despite the fact that the FPTP voting system makes it hard for any non-established party to get anywhere.

In the circumstances, Reform UK did well to get 5 MPs (yet the LibDems got 72 MPs despite getting far fewer actual votes than Reform UK).

Another Israel/Jewish lobby puppet.

Not “stuck“. They could just leave, and return to France or elsewhere. Suggestion (only semi-serious)— parachute them over France (or send over the Channel by MTB) with a golden farewell of, say, 1,000 Euros in their pockets. Better than most of them deserve, but #MoralHighGround.

You can see why Starmer and his cabal became hysterical when the recent protests occurred (not “riots“…pushing a few wheelie bins over, or setting fire to them, is hardly a “riot”…). Starmer is frightened not of what happened, but what might happen over the next 4-5 years. He wanted to frighten potential future protesters now.

The Times reports, in a briefing from Home Sec Yvette Cooper, 3 disturbing facts; 1) There are now 225,000 migrants waiting to be granted asylum. That’s the whole Doncaster and Chelmsford combined. 2) Starmer’s pre-election promise to have all migrants out of hotels in 12 months is bollocks. Three years away at least. 3) Another 25,000 migrants have arrived by boat this year, 10,000 since Labour came in. She could have added 4) We don’t care as we view every migrant 80% more likely to vote Labour than any other party. And I could add 5) It’s this attitude which means you are a one term government.”

Naturally, we must oppose the migration invasion, not only the “small boats” invasion but also the —superficially— “legal-migrant” invasion, and also the third kind of “invasion”, births to non-Europeans within the UK.

Paradoxically, though, with every migrant-invader that arrives on our shores, the possibility of a social-civil war down the line becomes more plausible, as does the case for real social nationalism.

In the Netherlands, only British, French, German, Scandinavian, North American, Australasian, Southern African (whites), Argentinians, Japanese, Singaporese, (maybe) Italians and (maybe) Indians contribute anything. The rest are a millstone round the neck of the Dutch people.

I have seen, via family friends and personal visits over the past 50 years, how the Netherlands has declined, both economically and socially. Shocking.

The UK has gone much the same way, but the Netherlands was such a prosperous and peaceful little country, when I first saw it nearly 50 years ago, that the contrast is greater, arguably.

I would not mind most of the first part of that; the problem lies with the second part.

Well, I never “supported” or “admired” Israel anyway, of course, though I have always recognized that it has some features which compare well to the surrounding Arab/Muslim states. However, its behaviour has gone from bad to worse, and the (Israeli) Jews are now totally out of control.

Even then, much of what the speaker was shown (eg the film mentioned) was not from Auschwitz in the first place, but from elsewhere, and post-1945.

Goodnight Vienna Tel Aviv (maybe).

Were I an Iranian strategist, I should probably concentrate my missiles on, firstly, the Israeli nuclear weapons facility at Dimona [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimon_Peres_Negev_Nuclear_Research_Center], secondly at any known nuclear weapons storage facilities, thirdly at known IDF air bases and the civilian international airport, and only then at concentrations of population, and even then mostly on Tel Aviv itself.

Schwerpunkt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzkrieg#Schwerpunkt.

Possible sleeper agents.

Apart from anything else, this Iranian attack will collapse a good deal of the Israeli economy, especially if the main international airport is put out of action.

I have no idea what proportion of Israel’s economy relies on tourism, but I imagine that it is fairly high. Who will be visiting now?

As to exports, I suppose it will depend on what ports, airports, and transport infrastructure is hit, and what damage, if any, is done.

Where is “Israel” though? Is it in the Middle East (only), or is it based as much in the USA, UK, France and around the world, but under cover?

The possible/probable all-out war, if and when it happens, will be very negative for all the people of the region.

One silver lining, though, is that, while US attention is focussed on the Middle East, Russian forces can continue to degrade the infrastructure of the Kiev regime, and press forward in Donetsk and elsewhere within the Ukrainian/Russian theatre.

In 1947 Israel tried to kill President Truman.

In 1954 Israel bombed American interests in Egypt and tried framing the Muslim Brotherhood.

In 1965 Israel started stealing American nuclear materials.

In 1967 Israel bombed the USS Liberty killing 34 US servicemen .

In 2012 the Snowden documents showed that Israel was America’s top spy threat.

In 2017 an Israeli spy ring was uncovered in Washington DC.

Does this sound like our greatest ally to you?”

All that, and economic exploitation of the American people, destruction of European culture in the USA, control of the American mass media, and the suborning of almost all Congressmen and Senators.

Goodwin using the long-outdated “left”/”right” shorthand.

Goodwin, though worth reading, is yet part of the “controlled opposition”, like Farage, Reform UK etc. The “JQ” is key. Anyone who supports Israel and/or the Israel lobby (“Zionist lobby”, Jewish lobby) is suspect, automatically.

That is like something out of the famous book The Morning of the Magicians [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morning_of_the_Magicians].

The infamous quotation of the once-notorious though now-forgotten Jewish fraud Bernie Cornfeld [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Cornfeld] comes to mind:

If you sincerely want to be rich, don’t horse around with steel or light globes— work directly with money.” So typical…

Few now remember Cornfeld, or his vehicle, Investors’ Overseas Services, but it had a high profile in the late 1960s and very early 1970s. I myself recall seeing ads for it in the Daily Telegraph colour magazine in, I think, 1970.

Incidentally, those British newspapers’ colour magazines of the early 1970s were on a different level of quality vis a vis the weekend supplements seen today; that applied especially to the Daily Telegraph one, which I think came out on Fridays. Real reportage on matters of importance and/or interest, not recipes, makeup, gossip, chick-lit and similar rubbish.

While I do not agree with everything posted by that tweeter, David R. Morgan, his Twitter/X account is well worth a look and, for those with Twitter/X accounts (I myself was expelled in 2018 after a Jew-Zionist contrived mass-complaint, and I cannot be bothered to retrieve my lost account), well worth following.

Argentina

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/27/poverty-rate-argentina-milei

Argentina’s poverty rate has soared to almost 53% in the first six months of Javier Milei’s presidency, offering the first hard evidence of how the far-right libertarian’s tough austerity measures are hitting the population.

Since taking office in December, the self-described “anarcho-capitalist” – who campaigned with a chainsaw in hand to symbolise the cuts he would make – has slashed public spending in an effort to tame chronic inflation and eliminate the budget deficit.

His administration has frozen pensions, reduced aid to soup kitchens, cut welfare programmes and stopped all public works projects. Tens of thousands of public employees have been fired, reduced energy and transportation subsidies have pushed costs up, and purchasing power has eroded.

Kirsten Sehnbruch, an expert on Latin America at the London School of Economics and Political Science, said she had never seen such a large jump in poverty rates. “This new economic programme is not protecting the poor,” she said. “The jump is absolutely horrendous.”

Milei’s cuts, however, have been cheered by markets, investors and the International Monetary Fund, to which Argentina owes $43bn. Monthly inflation has also decreased from about 26% in December to about 4% in June, where it has remained, although annual inflation still remains one of the highest in the world, exceeding 230%.

María Claudia Albornoz, a community worker from Santa Fe, said the government had “provoked a situation of desperation”. “We are feeling it in the fridge, empty and unplugged. Money is really worth absolutely nothing. We have three jobs and it is not enough,” she said.

While Milei’s popularity ratings have remained high, public support now appears to be waning. A survey published on Monday found a drop of almost 15% in September, the steepest fall during his nine-month administration. Recent polls have found that worries about inflation have been overtaken by fears of job loss and poverty.

Christopher Sabatini, a senior fellow for Latin America at Chatham House, said that economic decline was inevitable when controlling inflation, and pointed to similar historic crises in Brazil and Bolivia, but questioned whether Milei’s changes will work.

For a county that has historically prided itself on being a middle-class nation, this poverty rate is terribly painful,” Sabatini said.

Unusual to see a recent tweet apparently and directly quoting me from many years ago (certainly pre-2018, when I still had a Twitter account), and I have not previously seen that Twitter/X account, “German Historical Education”, or “@GermanScholarrr”, but I shall keep an eye open for it now that I am aware of it. The tweeter seems to be —from, inter alia, expressions used— American.

Worth looking at, anyway.

Dr. Goebbels discussing the fragile peace in Europe, 1938 or 1939.

The Second World War was disastrous in many ways: including the destruction of the German Reich; the reinforcement of Stalinism not only in the Soviet Union but also across both Eastern and Central Europe; the huge human and animal cost in terms of death, injury, and other harm; the destruction of the very concept of “Central Europe” [“Mitteleuropa”] for nearly two generations; the collapse of the civilized European empires across Africa, Asia, and elsewhere; the huge environmental, wildlife and human cost of decolonization; the near-squeezing-out from Europe of European-centred ideology between American finance-capitalism and Marxist-Leninist Sovietism; the 1948 establishment of the state of Israel, and the consequent increase of Jewish wealth, influence and power in the world generally; the shrinking proportion of white Northern Europeans as against the general population of the world.

Today, we again stand on the brink of European and “world” war. If it were to happen, and whether it were to start in the Middle East or Eastern Europe, or even in the Far East, it would be more disastrous in its consequences even than were the previous two “world” wars.

Statesmen and political leaders of all existing states must pull back from the brink.

Labour Friends of Israel Starmer/Reeves/Cooper etc will later launch their version of “stop the boats”, meaning set up “processing centres” in France which will rubberstamp 90% of intending migrant-invaders as “legal migrants”. The few not so “legalized” will continue to use the rubber-boat method of getting here anyway.

The migration-invasion is all part of a System plan, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan:

“The Kalergi Plan, sometimes called the Coudenhove-Kalergi Conspiracy,[1] is a…far-rightantisemiticwhite genocide conspiracy theory.[2][3] The theory claims that Austrian-Japanese politician Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi, creator of the Paneuropean Union, concocted a plot to mix and replace white Europeans with other races via immigration.

The…theory stems from a section of Kalergi’s 1925 book Praktischer Idealismus (“Practical Idealism”), in which he predicted that a mixed race of the future would arise: “The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today’s races and classes[a] will gradually disappear…

 …Coudenhove-Kalergi intended to influence Europe’s policies on immigration in order to create a “populace devoid of identity” which would then…be ruled by a Jewish elite.

As a matter of fact, the evil “elite” noted on Wikipedia consists largely of persons only part-Jewish, as seen in several recent UK Prime Ministers: David Cameron-Levita, “Boris” Johnson, Theresa May, and some not Jewish at all (though all pro-Jewish lobby and pro-Israel, as with Blair (some people think he in fact is part-Jewish, though), Brown, Liz Truss, Sunak, and now Starmer).

Ukraine

https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-kursk-breakthrough-russia-1957732

Ukrainian paratroopers fighting in Russia’s Kursk region have “broken through” into a new, unspecified section of the Russian border, a Ukrainian brigade said Monday as battles rage on inside Russia and various parts of eastern Ukraine.

Fighters with Ukraine’s 95th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade “have broken through a section of the Russian border,” the brigade said in a post to the messaging app Telegram.

This is the second successful operation to break through the Russian border since the start of the operation in the Kursk region of Russia,” the brigade said. The Ukrainian brigade did not specify where along the border fighters had “broken through” or when the reported operation took place.

Ukraine is more than six weeks into its surprise incursion into Kursk, which borders the country’s northeast. Kyiv said in early September that it had captured 100 settlements and around 500 square miles of territory as Moscow sluggishly attempted to fend off the advance.

In recent weeks, Western analysts have suggested that Russia has reclaimed territory south of Korenovo, which, along with the town of Sudzha to the southeast, was a focus of Ukraine’s push.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this past Friday that the offensive against Kursk had pulled approximately 40,000 Russian soldiers into the area.

[Newsweek]

I see few if any analyses in the msm as to the Kiev-regime strategic plan in relation to the Kursk incursion.

After all, Russia is not some sparsely-populated part of Africa, almost a terra nullius. It would be simply impossible, to take the thought ad absurdum, for the Kiev regime to push beyond Kursk city; and even if that were ever to happen, what then? Advance the remaining 327 miles (527 km) to Moscow? How would the Kiev regime keep its columns supplied? How could it ward off flanking attacks? Answer: it couldn’t.

Also, having (notionally) reached the Moscow region, how could a few thousands or tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops take and then control a city with an urban population of about 18M, and a metro-area population of 22M? (with many more millions in the region). Answer: they could not.

Of course, my argument is rather a straw man; the idea of the Kiev-regime forces getting even beyond the city of Kursk (and they have not even managed to get that far so far) is ridiculous. They have neither the manpower nor the resupply capability.

Incidentally, the Russian Army, overall, has an active host of about 1.5M soldiers, not including all reserves and quite-easily-mobilized others.

My main point is that Zelensky’s Kursk incursion has no strategic sense behind it. There is no point to it beyond (as I blogged when it happened, 6 weeks ago) making a public relations display to the Western states supplying the Kiev regime with money, arms, ammunition, and other materiel.

We are told that the big idea behind the Kursk incursion was to draw away Russian troops from the Donetsk front. Well, all right (and it is at least claimed that the Russians have redeployed 40,000 troops to the Kursk region, though it is unclear what proportion were from the Donetsk front), but Russian forces are still advancing strongly on the Donetsk front, even without the transferred 40,000 or however many.

As far as I can see, the Kursk incursion was strategically misconceived and achieves nothing, and would achieve nothing even were Russian troops to simply withdraw and allow the Kiev-regime forces to remain in loose occupation of the border area in that sector, or even the whole of the Kursk oblast.

Of course, Putin and his Stavka (high command) cannot do that (withdraw, in the manner of Kutuzov) because Russian public opinion would not allow it (the apparent conquest of Russian territory, unchallenged).

It is all very well to say that “Russia does not have public opinion” but even a near-autocrat such as Putin must take his people’s sensibilities into account.

The “smart move” would be to withdraw and withdraw into the Russian prostor (endless space), but that is politically impossible. The Russian forces therefore block further Kiev-regime advances in the Kursk region, while pounding the resupply route or routes to the west, inside Ukraine itself, in the border area.

On the Donetsk front, the Kiev-regime forces are falling back: https://www.slobodenpecat.mk/en/ruskata-armija-uspea-da-ja-probie-ukrainsakta-odbrana-kaj-ugledar/.

The same goes for the hundreds of millions of pounds thrown away by government on Islamic and Jewish institutions and locations.

I too expected Starmer-Labour to crash and burn fairly quickly, and said so on the blog well prior to the 2024 General Election, as well as immediately following it.

Firstly, because only 4 out of 20 people voted Labour in 2024; secondly, because Labour’s “diversity”/pro-Israel/”austerity”/pro-immigration policies are all the exact opposite of what most people want; thirdly, the sheer rock-bottom quality of most Labour MPs and ministers. Lammy is only one of many such.

Starmer and his freeloading cabal are smug inside their fake “landslide” Commons majority. They think nothing can touch them for 4 years or more. That is what the “Conservative” Party MPs thought about their own situation not so long ago.

Apres— le deluge

A lot of that is because Starmer was a barrister from age 24 (having been to university for both a first degree and a post-graduate one): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer.

As a former barrister myself (later wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred for political reasons at the behest of the Jewish lobby), I was sometimes surprised at how naive many barristers are, especially those who (unlike me) had never done any other kind of work.

Even today, when the Bar is more “diverse” (and far less prestigious) than it used to be, it remains to some extent a cloistered bubble. Starmer spent his professional life in that bubble before swapping it for another bubble, the Westminster Bubble.

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

Look at his reactions to the street protests. He immediately retreated into his comfort zone (he was DPP for several years) and started to threaten people with long sentences of imprisonment and (quite wrongly) “no bail pending trial and/or sentence”.

Even before GE 2024, I was warning about Starmer on the blog, noting Khrushchev’s view of Malenkov and about how to elevate the “file clerk type” to supreme power was always a mistake.

Starmer is isolated psychologically for a number of reasons. His professional Bar background. His years as DPP and, before that, as “human rights adviser” to the police and (I think, not sure) MI5 in Northern Ireland. His marriage to a part-Jewish woman, their children being brought up as if Jewish (despite being in fact only 1/4 Jewish), meaning that Starmer engages in all those Jewish ritual dinners and religious commemorations etc.

There is another point. Starmer has always had plenty of money, at least after his student days. He took letters patent as QC (now KC) at age 39. You are talking about an income, for much of his professional life, in the hundreds of thousands per year. Naturally, he finds it hard to understand or care about British pensioners trying to afford heating and other expenses.

I believe that I am correct in stating that Starmer and his wife also own a number (maybe 8) buy-to-let properties.

Starmer should never have become Prime Minister.

Another idiot who thinks that she is terribly clever. Another would-be dictator. Another member of Labour Friends of Israel…

In fact, Yvette Cooper was investigated by the police for fraud arising out of her expenses claims during the 2005-2010 Parliament, and was lucky to escape prosecution, along with her equally-moneygrasping husband, Ed Balls.

Yes. She held up a “refugees welcome” placard. She encouraged the migration-invasion of this country by blacks and browns (etc) from all the worst parts of the world.

I have blogged in the past about my own experiences: the UK police absolutely useless in doing what most people would regard as their headline job, but pathetically eager to do the bidding of the Jewish lobby in repressing free speech and freedom of expression by me and others.

No exemptions on Holocaust education under new UK curriculum plan, PM Starmer says

[Jerusalem Post]

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/auschwitz-prime-minister-england-government-nazi-b2613916.html

“This was the first year that participation in Holocaust Memorial Day fell, we can’t sit back and accept that.

Tonight I am making two decisions in advance of that review. First, the Holocaust will remain on the curriculum come what may.

And second, even schools who do not currently have to follow the national curriculum will have to teach the Holocaust when the new curriculum comes in.

“For the first time, studying the Holocaust will become a critical, vital part of every single student’s identity.”

[The Independent]

Starmer went on to say that the small park right next to the Palace of Westminster would be vandalized by having a Jewish-Zionist triumphalist “holocaust” centre built on it:

“So yes, we will build that national Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre. And build it next to Parliament.

“Boldly, proudly, unapologetically.”

[The Independent]

Starmer is like one of the puppets used in those 1960s British children’s shows such as Thunderbirds or Stingray. At times, you can quite easily see the strings controlling his movements.

Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper and the rest are all puppets of Jewish Zionism and the Israel lobby. Now intending to insist that every school student in the UK pays ritual obeisance to the “holocaust” mythus. Any who refuse, or do not tick all the required boxes (or who question the narrative, either as a whole or in detail), will probably be barred from higher studies.

This is an anti-British, anti-European, anti-historical dictatorship, controlled by an alien element, and which tries to impose an intellectual straitjacket on both history and politics.

As Starmer admitted, the contrived historical narrative is increasingly failing to convince British people; they are not interested, and/or do not believe the narrative usually blasted out at them.

Starmer supports Jewish state terrorism.

Jews smirking about the destruction they have wrought on a largely defenceless civilian population. Still, “what goes around comes around“, in the American phrase.

Myerson did not take that “advice” (reprimand) of March 2024 on board, continued to post vituperative tweets etc, and was then, in effect, sacked earlier this year (June or July 2024) as a Recorder (p/t judge), though he was allowed to present it as “resignation”.

Now Myerson is implying in his tweets that the (Israeli) Jews were “clever” in their Lebanon pager-explosive operation.

As a matter of fact, I agree with Myerson as to that. It was clever. It was also very wicked, particularly in that something like 1,000 people other than the supposed Hezbollah personnel killed, were injured; most if not all were ordinary passers-by, shoppers etc.

Thank God that someone as unpleasantly nasty as Myerson, and so lacking in basic decency, is no longer able to sit in the seat of legal judgment over British and other people.

One can see why the Bench had to have Myerson removed. He was —and is— unfit to pronounce judgment on anyone.

Perhaps the Bar Standards Board might like to take a look at Myerson. I am not usually in favour of free-speech restriction, but in this case it would be only just, Myerson having been one of the Jews who (as an active member of “UK Lawyers for Israel”) had me disbarred for having posted a few tweets long after I ceased to be a practising barrister: see

https://www.charlottecgill.co.uk/p/georgia-gould-labours-red-princess

Freeloading pro-Jewish-lobby bastard.

Starmer poses as an ethical Prime Minister elected by a “landslide”, when in fact he is a totally corrupt freeloader, and his MPs “elected” by only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters, and by only 4 out of 12 actual voters.

Starmer has no mandate.

Better late than never.

Exactly. It is easy to be bien-pensant when the only non-whites you ever meet are of the educated and/or intelligent, or pleasant, few; especially when, if you are John Major, you have VIP protection and security where you live and whenever you travel.

That last tweet is a typical example of false memory (or maybe an outright lie): John Major never was a bus conductor. He did apply, and was accepted for the job provisionally, but was rejected because he was too tall. He therefore never worked as a bus conductor, and that tweeter could therefore never have met him in that role: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Major#Early_post-school_career_(1959%E2%80%931979)

Such false memory is actually quite common. The noted —but apparently not much liked— big businessman, “Tiny” Rowland [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Rowland] was said to have once worked as a porter at Paddington Station (Wikipedia does not mention it, but I believe Rowland did work there as a porter, though only very briefly, and in the early part of the Second World War, when he was about 20).

A friend of mine, a lady who often walked through Paddington Station from the early 1960s to the late 1980s, sometimes told me (in the 1980s), when Rowland was in the news, that she remembered him as a young man working as a porter at Paddington.

My old friend did not, I think, mean to lie, but she was mistaken, and had to be. If and when Rowland was briefly a station porter, it would have been around 1939 or 1940.

The lady I knew would have been still in her teens then, having been born in 1926. She had been born in East Prussia (on her family’s vast estate, or one of them), had attended the Sacre Coeur convent school in Paris for a year just before the Second World War, but was then a kind of hostage under NKVD control in the Soviet Union for 3 years, at first in a prison on a river island on the Kazakhstan-Russia border, then working briefly on a state farm before becoming a student-nurse. When she escaped from the Soviet Union in 1942, she was just 16. She was in Persia, and then British East Africa. She first visited London sometime in the late 1940s, but not for long.

In other words, my old friend could never have seen Rowland as a porter (assuming he ever was one), Rowland having been working in business in the City of London during the early/mid 1940s and then, from 1948, in the then Southern Rhodesia (the later Rhodesia and then Zimbabwe).

We often see false memory, not least in (mainly Jewish) recollections of life in Germany and Poland during the so-called “holocaust” years of the early/mid 1940s. It is often hard to say which of the hundreds, indeed thousands, of accounts are simply misremembrances and which are outright frauds, but both are very common.

Anyway, there it is.

…and that has been only about 5% of the full migration-invasion figure…

In 2021, writing in the Independent newspaper, Keir Starmer said he’d “toughen the rules so MPs can’t profit from their office and open the door to vested interests”.

Since then we’ve learned: —he’s taken more freebies in holidays and gifts than ANY OTHER MP in parliament—

he’s taken 40 sets of tickets to sporting & pop concerts —

he’s had a free holiday —

he’s taken clothing worth £16,000 from a party donor —

he’s taken accommodation valued at £20,000 —

he’s taken glasses worth £2,485 —

his wife has taken £5,000 worth of clothes —

… … while taking away winter fuel allowances for pensioners … and declaring the era of sleaze is over.”

I would urge anyone arrested, and (unlike that lady) charged with anything effectively “political”, to plead Not Guilty.

Force the System to attempt to prove the case, and force the politicized police and “Clown” Prosecution to spend time and resources on the matter, and so (in terms of time) “kick the can down the road”.

If you do that, the System drones may have to drop the case (in the case reported on, of course, it never got that far; she was never charged). If you plead Not Guilty, the case may only be tried after many months (and if heard in Crown Court, maybe even a couple of years).

True, if convicted after a trial, you may get a sentence notionally more severe than had you pleaded (Guilty) to the charge, but these politicized cases are now being treated absurdly and unfairly harshly anyway. As far as Crown Court cases are concerned, we have seen people sentenced to years of imprisonment for doing really not very much, while real (non-political) criminals are often getting very lenient punishment.

I am not so sure that, from the perspective of a “political” “criminal”, there is much difference between getting, say, 15 months in prison on a Not Guilty plea then resulting in conviction after a trial, and 10 months on a Guilty plea.

The “political” convict, often someone of previous good character, or at least “not so bad” character, ends up in prison anyway in the current climate, either way.

In terms of time, too, a 15 month sentence might translate to 6 months actually incarcerated (40% of 15 months), as compared to 4 months after a Guilty plea and a sentence of 10 months. Still extra time, of course.

There is also the point that a Not Guilty plea might pay off in terms of you, as defendant, being found Not Guilty on technical grounds by a magistrate/District Judge or on a (Crown Court) Judge’s direction. Or you might be found Not Guilty by a magistrate, or a Crown Court jury.

There is also the possibility that something may happen during the trial, esp. if in the Crown Court, to render the trial ineffective.

In cases where imprisonment is never likely to happen, there may be little difference between being found guilty after a trial and pleading Not Guilty ab initio.

In my own case, related here below, I would never have pleaded Guilty under any circumstances anyway. As it was, I very nearly got off on technical grounds at “half time” (at the close of the Prosecution case).

My trial continued, however, and I was pronounced guilty by the District Judge, though on slightly confused (in my opinion) grounds.

My sentence was firstly to pay the purely notional costs of the trial and also to pay a “victim surcharge” (just another impost), the two together adding up to £734. Secondly, I was to complete 15 “rehabilitation days” under the supervision of the Probation Service.

Of course, the Jew-Zionists of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], who had procured the case against me by suborning the police and CPS in my county of residence, and who pressured the CPS politically, and quite improperly, to prosecute me, were livid at the perceived “leniency” of the sentence, so much so that it took them days, in fact I believe 2-3 weeks, to respond on Twitter/X and their own website. I can just imagine them fuming and arguing about it.

Well, a few generous donors who read the blog sent just over a third of the financial penalty monies, via a crowdfunder I established; the rest I paid off (I still have one small-ish payment left to pay) on a monthly basis. Irritating but not too onerous.

As to the “15 rehabilitation days”, it turned out that each “day” was a meeting with the Probation Service, the meetings as short as 20 minutes in a couple of cases (though 3 or 4 such meetings did for some reason not count toward the 15).

There was no “rehabilitation day” as long as an actual day, or even half a day.

Until a few weeks ago, I thought that I had only done about 3 or 4 actual “rehabilitation days” (meetings) counting towards the 15. However, I was then told that, by reason of larger-scale events not connected with me personally, my “days” were finished and I would be (as I have now been) deemed to have completed the “15” days to which I was sentenced.

So there it is. The politicized police (our new poundshop Stasi) and the politicized CPS, apparently spent hundreds of hours, maybe even thousands of hours, “trawling through” (as the CPS put it) hundreds of blog posts. The costs in terms of police and CPS time must have been large. The CPS instructed outside Counsel to prosecute. That barrister made several appearance prior to trial, at trial, and after trial, when (briefed again by, shall we say, “the fat lady” singing) he made a doomed attempt both to restrict my freedom to blog and to make the sentence more severe (only to find that the sentencing judge agreed with me).

All that money and effort, taking well over a year by the end, not to mention Court time, and the only result was that I had to pay out a few hundred pounds and meet a (rather polite and charming) young Probation Service lady about 7 or 8 times.

Further to the above, of course a defendant can appeal a Guilty verdict. In my case, it was expedient not to do so, though I considered that I had a 50-50 chance of success.

I was never arrested, incidentally, just charged by postal requisition, and was on unconditional bail throughout the proceedings in court.

Naturally, I should never have been bothered by the police, let alone charged or prosecuted.

A fortiori, I should never have been convicted or sentenced, but there it is.

Incidentally, that Britain Elects poll result, if it is right, would mean a House of Commons with 469 Labour MPs (overall majority 288), 75 LibDems, 56 Con MPs, 15 SNP, 9 Reform UK, 3 Green (etc). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

My view is that it would be better to raise the threshold to at least the £20,000 level, but increase the tax burden of VAT (overall). True, that would hit poorer people disproportionately, but at the same time would put the choice into their hands, in fact into the hands of all consumers. Basic purchases, such as food, or basic foodstuffs, could be charged out at a lower rate or rates, or zero-rated.

Government needs tax monies in order to fund the functions of government.

Another stunning opinion poll, if accurate.

That poll, by my use of Electoral Calculus, would result in a House of Commons with 454 Labour MPs (overall majority 258), 74 LibDems, 46 Cons, 34 Reform UK, 15 SNP, 4 Green (etc).

That People Polling opinion poll comes very close to my own (I hope, educated) guess about what might be the result of tomorrow’s General Election. Labour as “elected” (by default) dictatorship, LibDems the official but completely toothless Opposition (again only by default), and Reform UK in a good position to capitalize on what will soon be Labour’s total let-down as a government. Oh, and the SNP put back in its box, probably permanently.

As for the Conservative Party, if not totally wiped out on the day, mortally wounded.

I also tend to agree, as I have been blogging recently. “Shy Reform UK voters”, unwilling to share their tendency with pollsters, may add up to something significant, if they vote at all.

That means a House of Commons with 472 Labour MPs (overall majority 294), LibDems 69, Cons 63, SNP 15, Reform 6, Greens 3 (etc).

Once again, LibDems as official Opposition. About half the polls are predicting that the LibDems will get more MPs than the Cons. I imagine that large donors to the Conservative Party will close their pocketbooks soon. A party not in government and not even the main opposition party has little influence.

1700 hrs now. 17 hours before the polls open for real.

This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember.

When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand. I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit… so Frank was gone.

Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return. How dare they do this to him. How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing.

After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive. So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result… Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain… Brilliant!!

He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see. It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no… the little guy can win. If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man.

A nice story, and an illustration on a small scale of what society could be.

Not an area I know (have been there a couple of times, 30-40 years ago), but if I am ever there, admittedly highly unlikely, I’ll take that coffee.

A man has been convicted of strangling his wife while her online boyfriend was on a video link, and throwing her body hidden in a suitcase into a tributary of the River Thames.

Aminan Rahman, 46, was found guilty by a jury at the Old Bailey of murdering Suma Begum, 24, in a flat in east London on the night of 29 April last year.

The killing was witnessed by Begum’s two children, aged four months and two years, and her online boyfriend via a video call from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he was living.

My blog, my freedom of expression

Many readers will be aware that I was put on trial in November 2023 for having supposedly published 5 “grossly offensive” items on this blog; 5 items within 5 pages (5 days’ posts). 5 blog posts out of, at the time, about 1,700. I was sentenced in March 2024.

The background of that is known to some but not all readers. I therefore offer the following blog pages as explanation (obviously, I cannot republish or link to the 5 blog posts which were determined by the Court to have been, or to have contained material, “grossly offensive“, so here are 5 others).

I should add that, while 5 blog posts were determined, in the magistrates’ court, to have contained “grossly offensive” material (in fact, in my opinion, largely innocuous comments and cartoons), the material in question was tiny in amount, about 2% of each blog post, if that. In fact, only a few sentences allegedly written by me were specifically mentioned in the judgment.

As previously mentioned on the blog, I am perforce far more diplomatic now on the blog than I was a few years ago, but how sad it is that this country that, arguably more than any other bar the USA, championed free speech for so long, should fall victim to this kind of sub-“Stasi“, poundshop KGB-ism, with the Clown Prosecution Service and police falling over themselves to placate the Israel lobby.

Election thoughts

Labour leader Keir Flip-flop (Starmer) is the personification of the Norman Wisdom character, the clueless teaboy or whatever, who suddenly wins the lottery (or, in those 1950s days, the football pools). Starmer is about to become an “elected” dictator, despite most people despising, disliking or distrusting him.

Look, though, at what the Conservative Party now is. We are told that, if they survive the election, the leading contenders for the leadership position will probably be Kemi Badenoch (Nigerian), Priti Patel (East African Asian, and Israeli agent), James Cleverly (half-caste West Indian/British), and Suella Braverman (Mauritian Indian). All members of Conservative Friends of Israel, too.

Need one even comment?

[Update, 1 December 2024: Erratum— James Cleverly’s father was African, not (as I said, mistakenly) West Indian].

We are told, also, that the polls say that 20% of eligible voters have not even decided whether they will vote at all, and are also undecided as to which way they might cast their votes if they do vote. Do we take it that many of those will simply abstain? Will they vote simply as protest? Uncertain.

It could just be that those “undecideds” will vote, will want to vote as protest, and so will mostly vote Reform UK. Were that to happen, it really would put the cat among the pigeons.

The fact is that the Conservatives are in deep trouble anyway, that the mere existence of Reform UK has deepened that existing trouble, and that, even at a nationwide 15%-19% (as per recent polls), Reform UK, while perhaps only getting a few seats, would spell doom for the Conservative Party. Which is why the msm is now going crazy trying to demonize Farage and his latest party.

If Reform UK actually scores above 20%, then game on. If the existing ~18% is boosted by another 5 or 10 points, then UK politics will have received a meteorite hit, and will never be the same again. Were Reform UK to get 28% of the national vote, that might mean 80-90 Commons seats, and Reform UK would be the official Opposition.

That may seem impossible or crazy, and it may not happen, but the exciting thing is that it actually could happen. You cannot compare Reform UK in 2024 to Brexit Party in 2019, or UKIP in 2015.

This time, the Cons are going to go down really badly. More importantly, there is a perception this time that to vote Reform UK is not a mere protest vote, but a protest vote that really could accomplish something concrete— the utter destruction of the Conservative Party for a start.

I do not know whether Reform UK will manage to get beyond its present 15%-19% range, and/or get as high as 28%, but it just might.

Britain has not had anything approaching such a statesman for a very very long time.

Not that I approve of everything Putin has done within Russia itself, and Russian society still does not have an ideology capable of consigning to the past Western finance-capitalism, the mainly Jewish (but also Russian-criminal) “bandit capitalism” of the past 30+ years, and the former harsh Marxist-Leninist ethos, out of which the “bandit capitalism” emerged.

Still, as a transitional but very significant political power-holder, Putin must be supported as far as necessary, as a bulwark against various poisonous and contending elements in the world.

Fewer“, not “less“!

True all the same.

The policy is working so well as a deterrent that, even in the past couple of days, about 2,000 more migrant-invaders have entered the UK via the English Channel, ferried in by the RNLI and Border Farce.

All the System parties talk about “smuggling gangs”, but the smugglers could, in principle, be dealt with easily enough by special forces undercover. Dealt with. Just dealt with. The necessity is to deter or stop the migrant-invaders themselves, to close down the “small boats” cross-Channel route, and to protect both our borders and the future of our people.

Not a very impressive candidate anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Williams_(British_politician). 39 years old. His only non-political job was as a director of Cardiff Bus, a municipal bus service company owned by Cardiff Council; Williams was a councillor and on the relevant Council committee at the time. What a boondoggle.

Williams has been an MP since 2015, but lost his previous seat to Labour in 2017 and was then elected for another constituency in 2019. That constituency has now been abolished, and redrawn into the new constituency of  Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr.

On the previous boundaries, the area was quite solidly LibDem until 2010, when the egregious Lembit Opik managed to ruin his political career by making plainly freeloading expenses claims and by playing around with young Romanian pop singers called the Cheeky Girls: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lembit_%C3%96pik.

While one might have expected Williams to continue the run of Conservative Party successes in the now-redrawn seat, the plunging popularity of the party, combined with Williams having tried to make an illicit profit by betting on the election date while obviously having inside information, may make him unelectable. We shall see.

The new constituency is being contested by Con, Lab, LibDem, Green, Plaid Cymru and, perhaps most interestingly, Reform UK.

Obviously, I have no idea how Reform UK will perform, and it may be that the LibDems have the best chance of getting rid of Williams, but if (a big if, as they say), Reform were to take half of the otherwise Con vote, then either Reform or the LibDems might succeed.

On the wider point, had something like this betting scandal occurred in, say, 1994, or 1984, let alone 1974 or 1964, the person implicated would have been expected to step down either as candidate or, later, as MP (if re-elected). The slide in integrity and honour in British politics is palpable. The bastard seems to be intent on riding it out, and hoping to get away with it.

Ha ha! Anna Soubry, the notorious former “MP for Plymouth and Angostura” (she briefly threatened me online with a libel suit when I first tweeted that humorous description of her, many years ago, the silly creature), talks about Farage being “a gob shite“!

I can well understand why Anna Soubry has no mirrors around her, but she ought to take a good look at herself some time…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broxtowe_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

Ha. Yes, that is what is happening. A million migrant-invaders a year? Putin’s fault. Housing crisis? Putin’s fault. Nothing working properly any more in the UK? Putin’s fault.

If the “occupied” UK TV, radio, and newspapers disappeared tomorrow, the air would be cleaner.

Even 8 years ago, I was saying that “Brexit is more than Brexit“. Now, I say that people voting Reform UK are doing so for reasons far beyond, far far wider, than a limited wish to have Farage and his party get a few MPs.

Apocalyptic. God help anyone under that.

Our animal friends.

At what point will “they” have had enough blood?
