Some good points are made.
A step in the right direction, but only when the Zionist and pro-Israel lobby is confronted and defeated can there be free speech again in the UK. The Jew-Zionist lobby is the primary anti-free-speech concentration in this country.

In other words, (((the usual suspects))).
Talking about Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch), it is good to see his resettlement fund growing:
Putin and the ruling circles in Moscow may now have to consider whether they will actually need the city of Kiev intact at the end of this war.
War is horrible, and had this war been planned and executed properly from the start, it would have ended after a few weeks with complete Russian victory, and with relatively slight harm done. Now, it may have to end with the ancient city of Kiev again being levelled (as also happened —in central areas— in 1943).
Come what may, Russia now has to fight on until it achieves victory, even if that victorious end is bitter.
To the bitter end…

On another aspect of the present conflict, I see that the pound sterling now buys about 100 Russian roubles. When I was last in Moscow, in 2007, the (tourist) rate was a fifth of that, 1:20.
Having said that, the mass of the Russian population is as good as unaffected by the long-term slide of the rouble. As I have blogged previously, Russia could even survive quite well as an autarky, and that is not presently necessary, because trade between Russia and much of the world has not only continued but expanded. China, of course, is key.
..as I and many others said long before (in my case, 15+ years before) “Boris”-idiot rose effortlessly (?) to his high position.

For me, the whole “Partygate” thing is a classic Westminster Bubble pseudo-scandal, and in any case the “pandemic” was a “panicdemic”, if not a “scamdemic”; but, having said that, it is remarkable the extent to which decent administration and governance has vanished from the UK in the years since both Government and Opposition became packed with Jews, Indians, Middle Easterners of various kinds, and blacks. Co-incidence?
It must be a grave temptation for Putin and his group to say, simply, “**** it!” and fire all nuclear missiles at the USA, London, Kiev, Warsaw, Tel Aviv etc. Fortunately for Europe, Putin is far more measured than that.
Sometimes, “liberation” and “a desert” are not far apart, as Tacitus noted (more or less) over 2,000 years ago.
Let us hope that Europe as a whole does not look like that in 2030…
If I were Putin, that is one task I would delegate.
It seems obvious to me that today’s attack on Moscow was designed to irritate and cause fear to the ruling and wealthy Muscovites who live in neighbourhoods such as Barvikha, where many leading members of the General Staff and other institutions live.
The aim of the attack seems to be to show Putin and his immediate circle as weak, and unable to protect, crucially, those who themselves support his power.
