Our animal friends.

Starmer-stein escaping from the UK’s problems. Serious problems. Again.

Starmer-stein’s party now has the support of only 15% of the voters, as yesterday’s opinion poll showed:

Labour behind not only Reform, but also the Greens (!), and even behind the hopeless “Conservatives” now led by a useless Nigerian careerist. Were a general election to be held today, Labour might have as few as 21 MPs, incredibly. Or maybe that is credible or plausible.

Incidentally, that same poll suggests that, despite Con being slightly above Lab in percentage intention, in terms of seats the Cons would take the short straw— only about 8 MPs.

Were the UK to withdraw military and other assistance to the Kiev regime, leave NATO, and foster good relations with Russia, we could have cheap, probably cost-price, or even free energy from Siberia and elsewhere in the Russian Federation.

Stray thought

I happened to visit a Tesco supermarket about 6 miles from my home. While using the cash point, I saw two large banners advertising the supermarket. Both showed the same two blacks, a “grandfather” and “grand-daughter”.

The area I live in has, officially, 96.8% white people, with the total of all non-white groups adding up to only 3.2%, and actual blacks comprising a mere 0.4%. Yet there they are in those banner ads, as well as almost all UK TV ads.

Bravo!

Look at the msm bimbo on the sofa, though, desperate for the old soldier not to start getting too specific in talking about the state of the country. Poor old guy does not (I think) realize that those msm drones are the enemy, or some of the enemy.

My own maternal grandfather [b.1901], though in his late thirties and early forties, was both at Dunkirk and, rather later, in Burma. He rarely, in fact effectively never, talked about the war (WW2) as he had experienced it, or much about society and/or politics, but he died in 1970, so was spared the sight of what the UK has become (especially since 1989, to designate one arguably-fateful year).

Well, I would not like to be in his shoes…

“Them”.

Britain and the British Empire and the German Reich should have either fought side-by-side (on the Eastern Front) or Britain and the Empire should have declared neutrality. What a different and better world we would now have had either of those strategic stances prevailed.

All should be deported, and if any are granted any form of asylum, strict Nuremberg laws should be enacted to prevent contamination of the race-stock.

A THOUSAND of the bastards! In a single day!

Think how much is required to house, feed, clothe, transport, give medical and dental, to such a number! That’s not even including “pocket money” etc.

Mostly Labour and Conservative Friends of Israel.

Anyone facilitating the migration invasion should be put up against a wall and shot. The situation is that serious. A real government (not Reform, but something far more “extreme”) is necessary now and will be even more necessary after 2029. This crisis is existential.

The point might arise as to what happens if Labour were at, say, 25% in the real poll(s), but that it became clear that of those 25 points, 15 or 20 of the points were non-Europeans (non-whites) voting? Are real English/British people expected to regard that as acceptable, or do we say that we only accept as valid the votes of white English/British people?

In my opinion, only the votes of English/British people are valid votes.

[“No mate they didn’t fight for generic values, they fought for their people. The people of the British isles. It would do everyone good to remember that. Or you’d all be speaking German, that would be so much worse than the country of today, right? Truth be told, Hitler never wanted to invade Britain.“]

Points:

  1. Hitler never wanted to invade Britain;
  2. Hitler and Germany never had the means to invade Britain (insufficient carrying capacity on ships and barges, no naval control of the Straits of Dover, no air superiority over the Channel);
  3. The British troops fought because their government told them they had to fight, or at least be conscripted and possibly fight; they were never given the choice; they were not really “fighting for their people”, even though that was the propaganda they were fed, and still believe.
  4. The War started because Britain and France gave useless “guarantees” to Poland, “guarantees” that could never be honoured, yet because of those scraps of paper a massive and destructive war was fought after Germany invaded Poland. Not our business, but the UK Government made it our business despite never having the wherewithal to stop the German invasion of Poland.

cf. “Ukraine”…

Forget the deportations. Just a wall, a squad, and an end. “Simples”.

The System, weaponizing its own real incompetence…

I suggest a new law: any non-Europeans sexually assaulting white English/British women to be subject to capital punishment.

Yes, there are of course white sex criminals, but the existing laws are enough to deal with most of those. The new law proposed is a form of defensive socio-political cleansing, clearing the streets, and cities generally, of trash.

Superficially, yes, in part, but as Hitler said in private conversation, “those who think of National Socialism merely in political terms know little about it”…

Honour your father and your mother“, which, in political terms, means —in part– honouring the memory of National Socialism…

The most recent opinion polls have predictions of Labour with as few as 40 or even 30 MPs after the next general election. If those polls are in any way accurate, it means that Labour, at present with 401 MPs, will lose 90% or more of present MPs. As many as 9 out of 10 Labour MPs, and maybe more, are staring down the barrel of defeat, and an end to their careerist dreams.

I agree with that position. Russia should rule all of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper); also Crimea, and the littoral of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Kiev and Odessa should either be standalone “free cities”, or run as condominia (between Russia and an independent and neutral Ukrainian state centred on Lvov).

More Israeli war crimes. An accursed tribe.

Israel does not stand alone, but has agents, co-opted supporters (not all Jews) and lobby groups all over the Western world. All guilty of facilitating what has been happening and continues to happen. The Jewish lobby and/or Israel lobby is also the primary lobby trying to shut down free speech in the UK, France etc.

Paris, London, Berlin (etc). Migration invasion. Clear the streets!

Well, I cannot speak as to any of those details, but right from the start I felt that there was something not quite right about Paul Mason. I have blogged about him previously, two or three years ago.

First of all, despite having trained as a musician, and worked as such, and also having lectured in musical studies at Loughborough (Leicestershire), Mason (a quarter-Jew, one of his grandparents having immigrated from Lithuania), never having had any formal financial or economics training, suddenly appears as a freelance financial journalist in London in 1991 at age 31 (after a “missing” three years). Then, from 2001, he is seen on shows such as Newsnight (as Business Editor), and his political persona at that time is a kind of semi-Marxist and semi-anarcho-syndicalist mixture, hard to pin down.

Look at what Wikipedia says: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)#Politics.

You can see from that piece how, over the years, Mason has veered from so-called “left-wing Communism” and Trotskyism to (he himself claims) “social democracy” and both Marxism and post-Marxism. At one point, he was writing in support of Jeremy Corbyn. More recently, Mason declared himself a supporter of Keir Starmer.

You see the point. Politically, for all his worn-on-the sleeve pseudo-radicalism, Mason is the political grey man, superficially at home here, there, and everywhere. He sort-of fits in almost anywhere in the (generally anti-British type of) political milieu, almost like a secret agent of some sort…

In one matter, Mason has always been consistent: he has always supported dictatorship and repression of opposing views and dissenting opinions:

In the New Statesman magazine in June 2018, Mason argued the case for state suppression of “fascists”, saying that he favoured a policy of using “the full panoply of security measures to deter and monitor” those he described as “racists” and added: “For clarity, unlike many on the left, that means I am in favour of state suppression of fascist groups.” He finished his article by saying that “The progressive half of Britain needs a narrative to overcome this threat: a narrative based on shared, historic values of democracy and tolerance”, and also “[to] stop pandering to right-wing nationalism and xenophobia and start fighting it.

[Wikipedia]

Martin Wolf characterised Mason’s views in the Financial Times as justifying a planned economy, quoting Mason saying in support of the UK A Green New Deal report “Labour wants to combat climate change through three mechanisms: state spending, state lending and the state direction of private finance.”[46]

[Wikipedia]

[“Mason confirmed his intention to apply for selection as the Labour candidate for [Islington North] in May 2024. Despite having previously supported him as Labour leader, Mason has been critical of Corbyn’s record on antisemitism, defence, and Brexit.

[Wikipedia]


On 8 March 2018, The Jewish Chronicle reported that Mason had been a member of the Facebook group ‘Palestine Live’, in which antisemitic material was posted. He said that while he was a member of the group, he was added to it in 2014 without his knowledge by someone else, and that he does not read or endorse the content of all Facebook groups of which he is part. Mason suggested that the group should be closed and investigated if it contained antisemitism.[57]

Again, hard to pin down.

The diplomatic hypocrisy of nations…

All the same, a good thing that even a gesture is being made, and this does go well beyond a gesture. The gradual ghetto-ization of Zionism, it might be said.

Putin negotiates with the EU, with the cat as Putin.

Alternatively, playing cards:

(with another ace in a hole, or silo, somewhere…).

So why does “military and strategy expert” and former Secretary of State for Defence, Ben Wallace (highest active military rank— captain in the Guards), not put on his steel or Kevlar helmet, shoulder his weapon, and join the ranks of the condemned on the front-line? His age is no bar; there are plenty of unfortunate Ukrainians aged 55+ serving on the crumbling front-lines of the Kiev regime.

In fact, Jewish dictator Zelensky would love to have even one overweight middle-aged drunk volunteer; hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have deserted (apparently, about 200,000 in the past year or so), and about 800,000 Ukrainians are currently hiding from the draft (and the press-gangs) inside Ukraine. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, dodging the draft by staying outside Ukraine’s borders.

Go on, Wallace. Make the Scots Guards proud!

Already, many of those actually fighting for the Zelensky cabal are mercenaries from Asia, Africa, South America, and other poverty-stricken parts of the world.

Maximum range 280 miles (some only 120 miles), so not quite far enough to reach Moscow (or Petersburg) from the Ukrainian border. Moscow is about 300 miles north/northeast, Petersburg far further (about 530 miles due north of the nearest Ukrainian border). However, those missiles could reach smaller cities to the north, northeast, and east of Ukrainian territory.

Is that a brush-off for Zelensky? A warning to Putin? Hard to say.

Wall. Squad. End.

Wall. Squad. End.

(or parachute him into a large game park in Africa).

Clear the streets!

Part of the reason may be because so many British students are reading for Mickey Mouse “degrees” at “McUniversities”…

More research should be done about the whole issue. What are “degrees” (a mediaeval concept) for? What are universities for? What if anything should be the linkage between academic degrees and vocations (and jobs)?

…and I do not recall the same Marlon Solomon (or any other Jew entertainers) defending satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz when organized Jew-Zionists, led by the malicious and evil “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (or “CAA”), had her “cancelled” from the Edinburgh Fringe quite a few years ago. The same cabal have also repeatedly harassed anti-Zionist Jew and jazz musician Gilad Atzmon, metaphysical speaker David Icke, and many others.

What goes around comes around…

Lenin said “a revolution without firing squads is not worth much.” [Discuss].

[“NEW POST. This is how things fall apart. When you ask the hardworking British majority to pay billions in welfare for foreigners who do not work When you ask them to pay billions more for a policy of mass uncontrolled immigration they never voted for When you force them to do all this while even refusing to fix their broken borders and keep them safe And when you also cover-up the state importing thousands more people into their country This is how the social contract, the fragile relationship between the people and the state, starts to break down.”]

If only Assad had not been overthrown. Yes, he ran what was, in part, a brutal regime, but look at the enemies of Assad and the Alawites! Indeed, look at most of the other countries in the region.

[“In the last 24 hours it has become crystal clear to everybody in the UK that the reason the state took winter fuel payments from British pensioners, raided British family farms, and piled taxes on British businesses was so it could spend billions secretly importing dangerous Afghans into the country while funding welfare for people who are neither British nor even working. It a total violation of the British people’s sense of fairness and fair play. It is outrageous.“]

The MPs and ministers of the System parties are enemies of the people.

The Kiev regime deliberately targets and tries to terrorize civilians in Russia.

Conditions of service, and the overall s**t-state of the country in many respects mean that few want to volunteer, yet the woodentopped generals and retired senior officers are always talking in the newspapers or on TV about “preparing for war” and about conscription. I think that they may find themselves in that situation where “what would happen if there were a war, and no-one came?” (to the recruitment centres or to the war) (come to think of it, are there any “recruitment centres” anyway these days?).

Late talking point

History must always be open to analysis, debate, and revision. The mediaeval-style “holocaust” “denial” laws of quite a few countries (mostly in the EU), introduced at the demand of the international Jewish/Zionist lobby, make a mockery of both history and intellectual freedom, and are a modern form of the “heresy” laws of 600 years ago .

Dirty democratic politicians” [per Adolf Hitler]

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/may/10/lindsay-hoyle-house-of-commons-speaker-gifts-kept

Historical note: Father Denis Fahey

Denis FaheyC.S.Sp. (3 July 1883 – 21 January 1954) was an Irish Catholic priest. Fahey promoted the Catholic social teaching of Christ the King, and was involved in Irish politics through his organisation Maria Duce. Fahey believed that “the world must conform to Our Divine Lord, not He to it”, defending the theological concept of the Mystical Body of Christ. This often saw Fahey in conflict with systems which he viewed as promoting “naturalism” against Catholic order – particularly communismfreemasonry and rabbinic Judaism.[1] His writings were deeply anti-Semitic, Fahey stating that “we must combat Jewish efforts to permeate the world with naturalism. In that sense, as there is only one divine plan for order in the world, every sane thinker must be an anti-Semite”.[2][3]” [Wikipedia]

Father Fahey contended that “of 59 members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1935, 56 were Jews, and the remaining three were married to Jews.” [Wikipedia].

In economic views, Fahey was a critic of the Lockean liberal capitalist system and what he regarded as the “social good” being made subordinate to the needs of the market. He pointed to usury being contrary to Catholic social teaching and spoke out against the newspaper industry and its power to form public opinion, he claimed that finance capitalism had come to dominate politics and economics, which it was meant to be subordinate to. He criticised “the unlimited competition, unscrupulous underselling and feverish advertising of the present day” and opined that capitalism led to extreme inequality, “ruthless, unchecked […] tended towards the concentration of capital in the hands of the relatively few.[33]

Fahey also blamed capitalism “with its excessive individualism and uncontrolled seeking for profit”, for causing a backlash which naturally attracted many people to embracing communism.” [Wikipedia]

In terms of socio-economics, it seems that Father Fahey was close to the views expressed by such as G.K. Chesterton and his literary creation Father Brown, as well as many in the interwar period of the 1920s and 1930s who were generally in the milieu of the aftermath of the Arts and Crafts movement in the UK.

Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet are complete fakes, and treacherous. His “big announcement” on immigration will accomplish very little even to slow mass invasion of these islands, let alone stop the influx. As for getting rid of those already here, and their offspring— forget it.

[“The man who decriminalised illegal migration, removed age checks, gave tax exemptions to foreign workers, encouraged migration from India, expanded hotels for illegal migrants, removed the only deterrent we had, sent boat numbers soaring to 50% higher than where they were last year, is using taxpayer money to prioritise foreigners over Brits in the private housing market, and liberalised immigration from Afghanistan is currently claiming he is “regaining control of the immigration system”. Gaslighter-in-Chief.“]

The Overton Window is shifting, visibly. I hope, though, that the voters of the UK see through the fakery of Starmer-stein and his cronies. Vote (at present) Reform, break up the System as it now is, based on the fake rivalry of Con and Lab; then social-nationalism can take off.

When I started at the English Bar in the early 1990s, I was not infrequently briefed by solicitors acting for the PKK. Nothing political in my being briefed, though— I simply got one brief, won the case, then got others off the back of that, as commonly happens at the Bar. As a matter of fact, I tend to favour the Turks (or did, before the secular legacy of Ataturk started to be eroded).

The PKK is apparently leaving guerrilla warfare behind; it has therefore decided to follow in the footsteps of many another “terrorist” “army”, inter alia the IRA, ETA, FARC etc.

That ignorant woman scribbler, Allison Pearson, makes common cause with the worst of the Jewish lobby (“Zionist lobby”, Israel lobby” etc), the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], and its self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”, a proven social media troll and maker of false accusations to police etc, who can be informally called “Slitherman”.

Allison Pearson is supporting the very lobby that is behind most of the attacks on free speech and freedom of expression in this country.

As for that Julian Foulkes fellow, the retired policeman, if he —like scribbler Allison Pearson—supports Israel and the Jewish lobby in the UK, he must be absolutely asinine.

Exactly.

“UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] was behind my 2016 disbarment. Its membership and support cadre aligns closely with that of the malicious/evil “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”.

Not just because of the “little boats”. Because of the “legal” immigration invasion too.

It goes even beyond that. The discontent is also by reason of the whole multicultural/multiracial society which, for decades, has been slowly killing our more civilized British/European society.

Indeed, the burgeoning popular discontent goes beyond even the cultural/racial factors, and includes the fact that society is becoming more stressed, but with fewer material and other rewards for most British people. Also, the perception, largely if not entirely true, that “nothing works properly any more“.

I could suggest something about certain parts of London (mostly North and North-West), but in view of the fact that free speech in the UK is all but dead (by reason of the activities of “a certain tribe”), I think that, today at least, I prefer to keep my views to myself.

Russia only wants Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper river) and the coastline across to and including Odessa.

Historically, what is now Western Ukraine (based on Lvov) has made several different rulerships, including both Russia and Austria-Hungary.

While Putin would probably prefer to take all of Ukraine, I think that he would accept a peace agreement with a Lvov-based rump Ukraine willing to be neutral in future. That used to be called, from 1945 to 2023, “Finlandization”, and worked quite well for everyone until, quite recently, the Finnish government went mad and joined NATO.

That is a good thing. America is at its best when it is isolationist.

October Revolution

7 November (in the Gregorian calendar) is the day on which, in the Soviet Union, was set aside to commemorate the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917 (old-style, Julian calendar).

There were always parades in Moscow. I recall watching Soviet TV news in the old Channel 4 newsroom (then in the old ITN building in Wells Street, near Oxford Street) as a kind of guest, in 1984.

40 years ago, almost half a lifetime.

I recall it mainly because of the excellent picture quality on the satellite link; also because I had come directly from a tough afternoon taekwando session taught by a candidate-competitor black-belt destined for the 1988 Seoul Olympics (I don’t know whether he eventually went, though).

It was interesting to see people normally seen by me only on TV broadcasts. Peter Sissons, for one [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sissons]. I remember how surprised I was that he seemed rather fat when encountered in person.

When the Bolsheviks seized power from the Kerensky government in 1917, a tide of anger and unrest poured across, first Russia, then the rest of the world.

The history of the 20th Century was, to a large extent, the outcome of the fight against, or for Sovietism. The rise of National Socialism was also, to a large extent, the result of Bolshevism and the struggle to resist it. An Abwehr or “parrying”.

Even after the events of the Second World War, the subsequent “peace” revolved around the need in the West to “parry” Sovietism— the Yalta and other agreements, the Cold War, the “Finlandization” not only of Finland itself but also of Austria and Yugoslavia. The taking out of Central Europe, and the reduction of Europe into East and West.

Of course, Sovietism itself changed too, internally: Bolshevism and Leninism became Stalinism (with Trotskyist offshoots overseas), then post-Stalinist Sovietism under Khrushchev and his successors.

International revolution against finance-capitalist reaction became big-power and then superpower rivalry.

By the time I watched that 1984 TV news broadcast, the Cold War was still going strong, superficially, but the Soviet Union had only 5 years left. (Officially, the Soviet Union lasted until 1991, but it was dead by late 1989). It did not necessarily seem so at the time. The Dzerzhinsky Regiment (MVD troops) led that parade (the bit I saw), and the Soviet power still gave the impression of being fearsome. However, as a character notes in one of my favourite films, The Russia House, adaptation of a John le Carre novel, the Soviet knight was dying inside his armour.

Now we are in a rather different world. Still, after a 1989-2022 gap, the superpower rivalry is again there (if it ever went away), but this time as a conflation of a rump-Sovietism with a Great-Russian nationalism, bumping horns against an expansionist NATO led and ruled over by a USA which is, in effect, NWO/ZOG (New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government).

Where now? The front-lines of the conflict are in Ukraine (which the Western power wants to subsume into its sphere of influence) and, to a lesser extent, the Middle East.

Europe needs a new direction. So does Russia. The answer must be a Eurasian ethno-state, Europe joining loosely with Russia against the areas of the world which are comprised of peoples, in very broad terms, now the enemies of positive evolution.

Chernyshevsky was born in Saratov, on the Volga, as is Kazan, incidentally. Kazan is an interesting choice of location for the BRICS summit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazan.

Different points of view: in Russia and China, their leaders thinking strategically, but in the UK, much of the political and mass media milieu is obsessed with whether some useless, unpleasant and dangerous black gangster should have been shot or not.

Not a matter which I have followed (or know anything about).

The idea that Britain’s slide will be stopped, let alone reversed, by “peaceful”, constitutionally-acceptable, or easy methods such as voting for Reform UK (let alone the “Conservative” or “Labour” idiots), seems increasingly just ludicrous.

Unsurprising mendacity. Yvette Cooper is not only a longstanding expenses freeloader but an actual fraudster who was lucky to escape criminal prosecution around 2009. A Labour Friends of Israel moneygrubber.

Election 2024: a stray thought

So far, we have seen the not very exciting Reform UK get recent opinion poll ratings of between 9% and 15%. Not enough to get any seats if spread out evenly across the country.

However, reading the latest reaction to the absurd “National Service” idea floated by Sunak (you can read my own thoughts about that on the blog for yesterday and the previous day), it occurs to me that Reform UK might, just, do better than the polls suggest.

We have seen, in the past, people too ashamed or embarrassed to say to polling staff that they support the Conservative Party; maybe that is true here too, and that a proportion of the “Don’t Know” responders (recently often a plurality of those responding) are really secret Reform UK supporters, or secret nationalist or semi-nationalist supporters, or just secretly angry people.

That may be completely wrong, and we shall only know on 5 July 2024, but I could imagine quite a few people, either on the 4th or, before that, when filling out postal voting forms, thinking, “so **** it!” and voting Reform UK out of anger, frustration, or a wish to hurt the Conservative Party clowns, or the System in general.

Just a thought…

That 124,227 is only about 5%, not even, of the whole migrant influx over the past 7 years (at least 3 million). Then add the births to all migrants. Unsustainable, and in fact catastrophic to the future of this country.

What the misnamed “Conservatives” have apparently not quite understood is that most Reform UK voters are not voting Reform with the serious idea of winning many —or even any— seats in the Commons. They are voting Reform as a massive howl of protest (cf. the Brexit Referendum) and/or to give the Conservative Party an equally massive kicking.

Israel’s most important weapon is the pro-Israel Zionist “community” or web in many countries, particularly in the metaphorical West.

That Lazarus individual tweeted to another elderly Jew-Zionist woman several years ago that I (and someone else, of whom I had never even heard) should be given strychnine to drink. At the time, I could not be bothered to report it to the police, or even to Twitter, though “those” types mentioned themselves spend much of their time sneaking around and making malicious and contrived complaint to police and others.

There is a web of such “individuals” on Twitter/X, including most if not all of the accounts mentioned above, and mostly connected with the tiny but well-funded so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, itself a cabal which constantly “complains”, often using outright lies (as exposed recently when its “CEO”, Gideon Falter, made demonstrably false claims about the Metropolitan Police); the “CAA” also tries to suborn police and Crown Prosecution Service personnel.

Even the Jewish/Zionist lobby has turned against the “CAA” liars recently.

I myself was expelled from Twitter/X in 2018 by reason of a concerted campaign by several of “those” mentioned, with others; I have no interest now in returning to Twitter/X.

Not very many people really want “Labour” to rule over them, but the first priority, which people really very much want, is to scrap this “Conservative” misgovernment, and stamp on its remains.

I see that Matt Goodwin’s view is not far from my own.

Poor little thing.

The only bright aspect to this horrible brutality is that millions of people are awakening, all over the world.

Let us hope that idiots in positions of power, whether in Poland, the Baltic states, or France, are listening.

Goodwin’s point is vitiated by his turning a blind eye to the Jew-Zionist influence permeating UK politics. My own attitude is closer to that of the cartoon below:

As a Northern European social-national thinker, I refuse to support either side in the Gaza/Israel/Palestine situation. It is more true to say that while I despise the Israeli side for its brutality and quasi-psychotic sadism yet, by the same token, I cannot support any form of violent Islamism, as such. I oppose the pervasive Jew-Zionist influence in UK politics and society, yet also oppose the migration-invasion of Britain, whether by Islamists, black hordes, or others.

I have, incidentally, not seen Goodwin say anything at all supportive of the suffering millions in Gaza, most of whom after all are women and children. Goodwin, like so many people seen frequently on UK mass media, is supportive, it seems, of Israel, or afraid to seem critical of it and/or Jew-Zionism and/or Zionists.

“Tinker” types. Reading all those reports, it seems that most of the incarceration imposed was for offences other than the animal cruelty crimes.

Sentences for cruelty to animals are still ludicrously light in this country.

A sentence of 5 years or so really means release in about 2-3 years. Another defendant in the above case even got off with only a light “community penalty” despite having, inter alia, rammed a police car (read the reports, though not all of the reports agree exactly on the facts).

The penalties for offences of that sort (cruelty to animals) have to be revisited by Parliament, increased markedly, and the courts need to be firm in applying them.

All the same, most people in this country are kind to animals:

The backward few are a tiny minority, thank God.

For those revellers, snow is fun. It is different for the press-ganged soldiers of the Kiev regime, dying in the snow and ice of the front-lines.

Russia will and must prevail in Ukraine.

Russia is advancing, and Ukraine is on the defensive – Austrian colonel.

Despite the military successes that Kiev constantly reports, Ukraine is now on the defensive, while Russia is actively advancing, Austrian Colonel Markus Reisner said in an interview with ZDF.

In his opinion, Moscow’s military successes are mainly due to the fact that it was able to significantly increase the production of ammunition. Now on the battlefield, the Russian side fires 10 thousand shells every day versus 2 thousand from the Ukrainian side.

Russia is trying to advance along the entire front, depleting Kiev’s already small reserves. “It could lead to a major breakthrough,” Reisner emphasized.

The colonel also expressed concerns about the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine. He recalled that Russia is a nuclear power: “And it is unknown what could happen if it is driven into a corner.” Only “historians in retrospect” will be able to assess whether sending new types of weapons to Kiev would be correct or not.

[ZDF (German TV) — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZDF].

The Zelensky regime is living dangerously. If any significant damage is done to the major historical buildings of Petersburg or Moscow, Kiev will be flattened.

Selling-off public assets such as council houses was and remains a disastrous policy.

Anything other than real social nationalism is a waste of time (and probably a fraud).

Lammy is really ridiculous! Imagine running away from a (loud but harmless) young woman like that, instead of either standing still until the guards removed her or, more impressively, engaging with her and showing yourself to be a leader…

Lammy is an ignorant joke anyway:

…and there was more…

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lammy#Comments_attracting_criticism.

Pathetic, nicht wahr? Lammy poses as a legal expert because (and how many similar examples have I seen in or from the “black community”?) he took his degree in the UK and then took a “Master’s degree” (a one-year course that hardly anyone fails) at Harvard (after having become a barrister in England). He did about two years as a gopher in American law firms before returning to the UK. He was then elected to the London Assembly and, later (2000), at age 27, to the House of Commons, as MP for Tottenham, a seat where only blacks need apply (in reality)— “bandit country”.

Lammy has now been an MP for nearly 24 years, and has made the most of it (financially) for himself, while accomplishing precisely nothing for the UK or his own constituents.

Lammy loves black people so much that he…married a white woman [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Green]…

Now Lammy is set fair to be appointed Secretary of State for Justice in a Starmer-led fake “Labour” Government after GE 2024. He is also a Privy Councillor.

Lammy knows that he has to kow-tow to Starmer and the Israel/Jewish lobby in order to keep his career going.

So there we have it— Britain 2024 in a nutshell: the triumph of ignorance, stupidity, and tick-box careerism.

Incidentally, looking at that Labour Party audience, most of the people there are almost all as old as those attending Conservative Party events. Mostly in their sixties and seventies. Both major System parties are dying. Most people want a real alternative, not this rigged pseudo-democratic false choice.

Even in a country such as the USA, with a population of over 340M, figures like that naturally give rise to concern (as does the fact that the tweeter Ali Bradley seems to be ignorant of what the word “majority” means…American education…).

Trump seems to be in a good position to be elected. If he is, Zelensky’s ricebowl will be taken away, and that will seal the fate of the Kiev regime.

You can’t say you’re the victim while you’re bombing every hospital, bakery, journalist, and child in sight. You can’t say “self defense” while your kids are writing their names on rockets being blasted towards other kids whom you turned into orphans.

Hard to believe, but there it is…

What is next?

Reminded me of Soylent Green [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green].

A serious government would have looked at Brexit and recognised the necessity for economic and social reform. The first lesson should have been that mass immigration cannot be a substitute for skills training, and that open borders is not a sustainable answer to labour shortages.

Subsequently, it should have examined the reasons business relies on immigrant labour and modified policy accordingly – up to and including far reaching welfare reform. It should have also taken steps to reform the ponzi scheme that is higher education, ideally dismantling second rate universities in favour of vocational training with a view to improving labour market fluidity.

It should have initiated an immediate energy policy review, dismantling the EU regulatory systems that push up the price of energy.

It should have prioritised nuclear over renewable energy. It should have looked at streamlining energy planning and procurement regulation.

It should have initiated a complete review of food and agriculture policy with a view to improving food security and reducing food miles, cultivating local supply chains, and revising trade policy accordingly.

It should have initiated a complete review of foreign aid, trade and foreign policy in line with clearly defined national priorities.

But our politicians didn’t want any of that. They liked having their thinking done for them. They didn’t see any reason for change and everything they’ve done since has been to prevent meaningful change. Sclerotic mediocrity is how they like it and it’s the best we can hope for.

That is why the Tory party is dying. They were handed a massive majority and a mandate for change and they did precisely nothing with it. They wasted our votes and our time. They squandered every opportunity and walked away from every fight. Instead of taking the cue for radical change, they doubled down on all the worst aspects of centrist consensus politics on everything from immigration to energy, in lockstep with the EU as though we never voted to leave.

Immigration is now out of control, rents have skyrocketed, energy prices are insane, university degrees are next to worthless, and now they’re inflicting heat pumps and EVs on us when nobody can afford either, nobody even wants them, and we don’t have the electricity to power them.

Now we find ourselves with nobody worth voting for, and a decrepit opposition party set to inherit power by accident of numbers, and virtually nobody thinks it will be an improvement.

There is no means by which we can arrest the decline – while the media gaslights us by telling us this is the most right wing government in history.

Not only does the Tory party deserve to die, it is a necessary precursor to any kind of British renaissance. The conservative party only wishes to conserve a stagnant status quo even if it drags us into the dark ages.

We are condemned to drab, anti-patriotic technocratic managerialism and a zombie establishment that has long since abdicated from its obligation to govern. They are rotten, debased, corrupt and ineffectual in everything they do.

Every iteration of it is like a bad Hollywood sequel – a jaded repeat bereft of ideas and energy, oblivious to its own creative death spiral.

The cancer has now spread to all of the state’s vital organs, and the patient is now on life support. Nothing short of a medical miracle can revive it from its persistant vegetative state. The only merciful thing to do is to let it die.”

I agree with pretty much all of that analysis.

Quite. I hate and despise the misnamed Conservative Party, but also despise and hate the equally-misnamed Labour Party. Other misnamed parties? The “Scottish National Party” (currently run by a Pakistani) and the “Liberal Democrats”.

…and if you say anything about all that, at least in the UK, some malicious Jew-Zionist volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy and Government (eg the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) will suborn or corrupt the police and the prosecution service in order to bring down upon you the weight of the criminal law (while, in the real world, real crime explodes).

Obviously. Even at present, 75%+ of the invaders are given leave to remain. That’s 75% or 80% of the actual small boat invaders; the “legal” ones are all allowed to stay for the period of their visa, but many who stay beyond that are also, one way or another, allowed to stay in the end.

Overall, something like 95% of the various types of migrant invader are —eventually— allowed to stay indefinitely. As a nation and possibly, later, as a state, the UK faces ruin.

In Africa and Asia live hundreds of millions who would like to come here. Yes, in time that will reduce the UK to a “third world” level, but they cannot see that. All they see is a country still hugely better than their own. They want what we have, or they think we have. Even if our living standards continue to slide, for the black/brown invaders that is irrelevant. They are used to much worse conditions.

Therefore, the migration invasion will continue until our society collapses into chaos and/or civil war. When? Maybe as early as 2030, maybe a little later. By 2050, for sure, as things are going. Thank God I shall probably not be here to see it face to face.

I wonder how much of that will find its way to the Ukrainian people at ground level? Rhetorical question. Not much (if any).

“Former Israeli Chief of Staff Dan Halutz said that Israel has lost the war against Hamas and Netanyahu must be overthrown. According to him, the real losses of the army are hidden, and for almost two months of ground operations there are virtually no strategic or even tactical victories in the Gaza Strip.

It would be a mistake to assume that all Jews, even all Israelis, are behind the continuing devastation in Gaza. My own guess is that most would have been satisfied by a week or so of targeted, albeit bloody, attacks in retaliation for the stunning surprise attack by Hamas forces in southern Israel in October.

There was a film, several years ago, interviewing former chiefs of Israeli intelligence and security; they were far less gung-ho than Netanyahu and his clique, or the malicious and unpleasant Jew-Zionists one sees or hears of in places such as London, Leeds, New York etc.

See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2020/02/02/the-jews-i-met-at-an-oasis/.

By the by, I keep wondering whether the Israeli Government, like F.D. Roosevelt before Pearl Harbor, knew of the October attack by Hamas before it happened, but let it go ahead in order to have to popular support —initially— for what is now happening in —in the Israeli case— Gaza, which amounts to an attempt to occupy Gaza and drive out its 2M inhabitants.

That may read like “conspiracy theory”, but so many of such theories turn out to be just true in the end. Why did it take Israeli forces several hours, in some cases 12 hours, to deploy to the site of the October attack? Israel is small. Tel Aviv is only 44 miles from the border of Gaza, and maybe 60 miles from the site of the Hamas attack in October.

When I was a practising barrister based in Exeter, in SW England (2002-2008), I lived in a country house about 4 miles north of Launceston (Cornwall) and almost exactly 45 miles west from my Exeter chambers. Same distance as Tel Aviv to Gaza. One day, I made the journey, door to door, in only 35 mins. I am sure that the supposedly elite Israeli forces can deploy in at least similar time (by road or helicopter), if they are so ordered. So why did they apparently take many hours in October?

Late thought

A day or two ago, I caught a few minutes of a political quiz on Sky News. Radio politico Nick Ferrari, some black woman (I think Dawn Butler), useless half-Jew former MP and now (absurdly) member of the House of Lords, Ed Vaizey, and “British” Indian pseudo-Communist, Ash Sarkar. All wearing silly Christmas hats for the occasion.

What struck me (again) is that the System TV would never have a social-national person on such a show, but there is political bad joke, Ash Sarkar, sitting there happily alongside Ed Vaizey, despite having commended not only socialism but Communism on air many times. She was obviously loving being part of the System mass media in-club…

Only social-national people and policies can now save Europe. The System easily suborns and buys the Ash Sarkar type. Paid TV appearances, even alongside the so-called “class enemy”, articles in newspapers, social media profile (and income). Pseudo-radical careerists and profiteers.

Owen Jones similarly. These are play-“revolutionaries”, play-radicals, and almost ludicrously-easily manipulated by the System.

There should be an institute for both the study of history and also for the study of how to create the basis for a more advanced human type; the evolution of consciousness as well as the higher evolution of race-types.

Nature’s holy religion.

Talking point

You carry in your blood the holy inheritance of your
fathers and forefathers. You do not know those who
have vanished in endless ranks into the darkness of the
past. But they all live in you and walk in your blood upon
the earth that consumed them in battle and toil and in
which their bodies have long decayed.

Your blood is therefore something holy. In it your parents gave you not only a body, but your nature. To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can
change it. But each decides to grow the good that one has
inherited and suppress the bad. Each is also given will
and courage.

You do not have only the right, but also the duty to pass
your blood on to your children, for you are a member of
the chain of generations that reaches from the past into
eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent
must do its part so that the chain is never broken.

But if your blood has traits that will make your children
unhappy and burdens to the state, then you have the
heroic duty to be the last. The blood is the carrier of life. You carry in it the secret of creation itself. Your blood is holy, for in it God’s will
lives.”

Unusual for me to repost anything from smug “Conservative” greaseball Fraser Nelson, but “truth conquers all”…

As if Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer even wants to “fix the problem“… he is part of that problem. System party leaders are all signed-up to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan— creation of a mixed-race population over time, to be ruled by a thin stratum of Jews and Europeans, the latter mostly not fully-European but of partly Jewish background (like David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson etc) and/or with Jewish wives (like Starmer).

Even leaving that aside, Starmer knows that he will not lose votes at the 2024 General Election if he claims to “have a cunning plan” to “solve” the migration (invasion) crisis; and that is so even if his “cunning plan” is completely unworkable or does not in reality even exist. Unless, of course, the voters see through the lie.

That 2024 election would be the moment when a truly social-national party could and perhaps would break through into the major political league. Sadly, though, such a party does not exist.

I agree (and refer to the quotation from Lenin hereinabove…).

(and again refer to the quotation from Lenin hereinabove…).

Yes, a small area of one city in one country, but this did not exist at all, say 50 years ago. A warning from the future, and not only for the USA.

I recall hearing something on the radio in England in, I think, 1970, to the effect that London had a serious problem with heroin addiction; it had several hundred registered addicts, compared to about 50 in 1965. Now look! Millions of drug-abusers. Drug sodden council estates, but also the affluent msm rabble contaminated with drugs of various kinds; even MPs, indeed even Cabinet ministers (that little bastard Gove is far from the only one).

HS2

I opposed HS2 from the beginning. Why? Because first of all, HS2 was misconceived. High-speed rail is OK for countries which are very elongated and/or very large; it suits or would suit countries such as Chile, Japan, Russia, China, Australia, the USA, Canada, and even France (which after all is 2.5x the size of the UK and has important cities in all four “corners”, so to speak; indeed, in all directions.

The UK is only elongated and long if you go from, say Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands, or at least London to the major cities of Scotland. London-Edinburgh is about 400 miles (compare that to London-Penzance: about 300 miles). London to Inverness is over 550 miles.

In other words, HS2 only makes any sense at all if it goes either to Cornwall or Scotland. However, neither of those routes are being proceeded with.

The route London-Leeds was also axed. Now, it seems that even the section Birmingham-Manchester may be abandoned. That would leave only London-Birmingham, which would take 52 minutes instead of 1 hour 21 minutes on the present fastest trains. In other words, a saving of only 29 minutes. Passengers will also, for a long time, have to go to Old Oak Common in NW London in order to catch the train.

I also opposed —and still oppose— HS2 on environmental grounds: destruction of ancient woodland etc.

A further reason to oppose HS2 is that the money expended could have been deployed to improving the existing rail network, or extending it.

Finally, I have a problem with (in effect) the whole country being taxed in order that a tiny minority can travel faster. I felt the same about Concorde, despite its technical achievements.

HS2 is a massive fiasco on the scale of projects such as the Groundnut Scheme [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanganyika_groundnut_scheme], in fact far worse; far more expensive, and hugely destructive as well.

Sooner or later, the Ukrainian armed forces will certainly go on the defensive.” As soon as they do that, immediately expect our counterattack. It is always done this way: on the first day, it is checked whether the defensiveness is not just a ruse. If it is determined that it is not – on the second day, the “plowing” of enemy positions with artillery and rockets begins.

On the third day, the counter-attack takes place” “A counterattack at the operational level will have to be carried out by our fresh forces from the operational reserve.” Their task will be to return the territories that the Ukrainians “grabbed” from us during their raid last fall. Then we will start our offensive operations, which will gradually develop into a full-blooded offensive.”
