About Labour, Corbyn, and the Jewish/Israeli lobby in the UK (a blog post first published in 2019)
I happened to see that a blog post from 7 years ago, early 2019, has had quite a few hits in the past few days. Looking at it, I think that it has held up rather well:
Sky’s @EdConwaySky is shown inside the Bank of England's gold vault, one of the 12 vast vaults where the world's largest single deposit of gold is kept on behalf of its many owners pic.twitter.com/esTVFVPk2U
Well, according to both the Jewish lobby and the “antifa” loonies (and also the pro-migration invasion idiots and malfeasors), I am a “far right” (whatever that means) “extremist” (whatever that means).
Ironically, one of the more accurate newspaper/msm reports about my free speech trial and sentencing of 2023/2024 was that of the Jerusalem Post:
Firstly, I don't have a clue who you are or who you represent, but what I can say is you don't represent me, my family or the majority of British people.
I was raised in Manchester in the 70s and 80s. At the age of 16 I joined the British Army and for the next 24 years I served…
[“Firstly, I don’t have a clue who you are or who you represent, but what I can say is you don’t represent me, my family or the majority of British people. I was raised in Manchester in the 70s and 80s. At the age of 16 I joined the British Army and for the next 24 years I served all over the world protecting British interests and Britain. After leaving the Army we settled in a small village in Lincolnshire. Until last week I had not visited Manchester for around 20 years. Last week we decided to drive to the Manchester Museum with the children. All I can say is WTF has happened to Manchester? My grandfather, who saw active service in WW2, would be turning in his grave. Not in a derogatory way, but you don’t and never will understand the normal hardworking British man or woman. It’s not in your blood or DNA. Through British history there has always been a time when an uprising is needed. That time is now. I’m not an ethNat or a Nazi, but I am a realist and it is time to stop and say no more. If millions have to leave who should not be here or are taking the piss, then so be it. In the words of @RupertLowe10, “I don’t care.” What I care about is my ancestral home being destroyed by people who don’t respect our culture or beliefs. Throwing threats around and using the very weak “Neo Nazi” label will not work anymore, the momentum is there and the people are rising. Have a nice day…“]
I agree, almost entirely, with that second tweeter. As to the first one, why is he even here? Some kind of Egyptian Muslim apostate, and convert to Judaism, it seems. I too had never heard of him (and wish I were still ignorant of his existence).
Seems to think of himself as an “intellectual”, apparently.

It is really quite funny how out of touch msm Westminster Bubblers such as Dan Hodges are. Now and then, opinion polling organizations ask members of the public whether they have heard of prominent politicians. Often, even members of the Cabinet score below 10%.
Starmers lack of political instinct is what will destroy his government. The job market will soon be filled with ex single term MPs who've never had a meaningful job!
Starmer-stein clings to his own job, and will do until people start to stamp on his fingers to make him let go. Starmer also keeps members of the Jewish lobby that surrounds him in place for as long as possible.
Regular readers of the blog may recall that, weeks ago, I was thinking that the “big three” at Gorton and Denton (Reform UK, Green Party, Labour) would all come in around 30%, and that the result might be very close. Since then, my long-distance view has altered to the extent that I feel that Labour is lagging behind the other two, with Reform possibly leading marginally from the Greens.
Today, while I think that Labour has faltered and probably failed, it may still be able to muster about half of the 50.8% it scored in 2024. It has a well-oiled machine for getting votes out, as corrupt “democratic” parties often do. Still, my view remains that this will be between the Greens and Reform, and the Greens are being exposed as rather loonie as the days go by.
Many former Labour voters may simply abstain. Many undecideds may also abstain, but who knows?
If I had to guess, it would be Reform, and there is no doubt that Matt Goodwin is the standout candidate as an individual, but there is no certainty.
Starmer-stein’s failed regime is toast, though, unless Labour can actually win (and, realistically, win by a good margin, in view of last year’s 50.8%).
The Gorton and Denton by-election is only one seat, but a very solid Labour seat until last year. To lose it will send a strong signal that Starmer-stein’s government has run out of road with the voters.

An Expert writes : Yet more intelligent, informed scepticism about the coronavirus panicdemic, for the panic-merchants to find a way to ignore: How deadly is the coronavirus? It's still far from clear https://t.co/tDMjmWlIBv via @spectator
When I saw that initial Peter Hitchens article, I was sceptical, thinking that strict temporary measures were probably necessary to deal with the Coronavirus crisis. Now I have modified my view about both what is happening (while still recognizing the very serious nature of the virus situation) and especially about the repressive laws and overarching “enabling” legislation.
I predicted this https://t.co/b20e0vlba5 on Monday. Some people made a joke about it because they thought I wasn't being serious. Well, I was. This is what life is like when the state is above your head.
The Daily Mail report below shows how the police are starting, once again (as with social media “crimes”), to get above themselves, zealously going well beyond the law and their own granted powers to hunt down people whom they decide should be lectured, spied upon or questioned. They also leave behind ordinary commonsense.
Police officers spying on lone dog-walkers in the remote and deserted parts of the Peak District and other national parks; senior police acting as poundland generals, setting up roadblocks, getting their robots to question motorists about where they are going and “is your journey really necessary?” And so on.
In Derbyshire, police are using drones to spy on solitary dog walkers in the Peak District National Park, people walking miles from anyone else! The very same force that, in the Alison Chabloz case, revealed itself to be a comic opera Keystone Cops outfit and poundland KGB. Incidentally, Derbyshire Police has long had one of the worst records in dealing with actual, real crime; you know, real crime, such as burglary, assault, GBH etc, not “someone said something about Jews on social media”, not “someone walked a dog in a remote part of the Peak District but we got her using our poundland KGB drone”.
Common-sense is lacking. A couple in a car or a man on a motorbike are not going to infect anyone, neither are they going to be infected, not while driving and riding. Of course, the same applies to a girl on a motorcycle…
Always ride safely, of course…
Cede your liberty to the state, @madz_grant and it takes everything, even the freedom to walk alone on the high hills. https://t.co/f9gmeCguQp
There are, as Hitchens and Delingpole say, a huge number of people who cannot wait to see the British people subjected to strict controls at all times. They also cannot wait to see people punished. Many of these “useful idiots” are those who identify with some kind of multikulti pseudo-socialism and spend most of their lives virtue-signalling on Twitter.
Why shouldn’t someone drive from a town to a deserted part of the country and walk a dog or just walk, with or without someone from the same dwelling? The danger of infection (from or to) is much greater in an urban or suburban setting where more people are likely to be encountered.
There are a few brave voices being raised in defence of reasonable freedoms. I do not much like what I have seen on TV and in print of James Delingpole, but this is a courageous and surely correct article:
So Gordon Brown, formerly a major UK political face of the international finance-capitalist conspiracy (or, if you prefer, “consensus”), has come out of hiding to call openly for a one-world dictatorship…It took him a while, but he has now done it.
Give that man a cee-gar!
As soon as the soap opera of Harry and the Royal Mulatta began to unravel, I predicted that they would end up living somewhere like Bel Air or Beverly Hills, with Harry as that stock comic character of American TV, a kind of house-husband, run ragged by his petulant “younger wife” (in fact she is 4 years older than Harry). Royal Married with Children… Well, that has now come to pass: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2020/03/27/prince-harry-meghan-move-california/
Statistical anomaly
It seems that Jews in the UK have been hard hit by Coronavirus and that 5% of all deaths in the UK have occurred within the Jewish element. I am not a statistician, of course, but this seems to me very high, bearing in mind that Jews are supposedly only about 0.3% of the entire UK-resident population. That means that Jews are not only being hit harder (as far as actual deaths are concerned) than non-Jews, but nearly 20 times as much.
I suppose that one has to take into account the fact that London, which is now such a dustbin of peoples, is the epicentre or “hotspot” for Coronavirus in the UK. I read that North West London, the most Jewish part of London, is the hotspot within the hotspot. In fact, the borough of Barnet is said to be the most infected of all.
That in itself does not quite explain why. Is it because Jews travel on business more than most non-Jews (e.g. English people)? I have no idea. Not every Jew is a diamond dealer or finance industry operative, flitting from London to Antwerp to Zurich and on to Moscow or Kiev.
Unemployment: the DWP system cannot cope
Half a million people have just registered as unemployed in the UK, in one week! The DWP system was unable to cope before Coronavirus “lockdown”. Now? Look at what that idiotic creature, Therese Coffey, is saying!

In fact, that tweeter is wrong. The global death total at time of writing is about 24,000, not 2,800. The principle remains, though.
Self-awareness takes a back seat…
All those tweeting delight that @BorisJohnson has #Coronavirus are not just very unpleasant but stupid as that signifies that many others will be infected regardless of political affiliation.
The thing is @rmayemsinger that Trump’s over confidence/arrogance make him susceptible to #Covid19. If infected at his age his survival chances are very low. No doubt he will call it a “Fake Virus” and a “nasty” infection but that is not a cure.
“The director of the human rights organisation Liberty has called the government’s new Coronavirus Act the biggest attack on British people’s freedoms in a generation.” [The Guardian]
“Among various measures, the act, which passed on Wednesday, gives police powers to detain people and forcibly test people they suspect may be infectious, removes protections for those detained under the mental health act, and weakens judicial oversight of surveillance.”
“Already on Thursday, the Guardian reported how police in North Yorkshire were proposing to set up road blocks to restrict people’s movements, while Derbyshire police used a drone to shame people who had driven to remote parts of the peak district during the lockdown.”
“In a statement marking the passage of the new law, Martha Spurrier, director of Liberty, said:
This new law is without doubt the biggest restriction on our individual and collective freedoms in a generation. What people may not realise is the extent of its powers, and how long they can be in place for.
It gives the authorities new powers to detain any one of us that they believe could be infected with the coronavirus.
It also removes vital safeguards in care standards, leaving many people who are already at risk, such as disabled people, at further risk, not only of poor care but also of potentially inhumane treatment.
While change is necessary, and some of the measures outlined in this legislation are entirely sensible, others are overbearing and, if left unchecked, could create more problems than they solve.
The breadth of this legislation is also extraordinary. It runs to more than 300 pages and includes some spectacular restrictions, including powers to rearrange or cancel elections.
We’ll beat this virus, but these measures must be a last resort in that battle and these powers must be removed as soon as possible. We cannot and must not sacrifice all of our hard-won rights and freedoms.”
“The Met Police today fined a bakery boss £80 for criminal damage after she put temporary lines outside her shop to keep her customers safe from coronavirus….The officer told the flabbergasted woman that she had graffitied the pavement and if police failed to punish crimes like these there would be ‘anarchy’, adding: ‘I can’t help the law. We’re going to be ticketing soon to stop people congregating – is that wrong too?’.” [Daily Mail]
No wonder that the more elite police used to call their uniformed colleagues “wooden-tops”!
“It came as police forces across the country are facing accusations of overzealousness as they use sweeping new powers to crack down on people flouting the coronavirus lockdown, using road blocks, drones and helicopters to enforce it.” [Daily Mail]
“Critics say the unprecedented powers handed to officers by ministers will see the country ‘sliding into dystopia.'”
“As the row intensified today, Leading QC Matthew Ryder said there was an ‘overwhelming consensus from lawyers that police trying to restrict people to ’emergency travel only’ is unlawful.‘”
“Former MPs also claim police are ‘showing an astounding lack of judgement’ and needed to exercise ‘common sense and respect’ and use their powers elsewhere.“
“But chairman of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, Martin Hewitt, doubled down on the measures, telling the BBC: ‘This is a national emergency, not a national holiday.’“
[Daily Mail]
Well, there it is. Police go mad, but are backed by senior national police officers who plainly lack both real intelligence and common-sense. If the police were told by the “weirdos and misfits” now at the heart of “democratic” government to herd us all into some UK GULAG system, they would do it. No question.
The fact is that the police are in danger of becoming an irrelevance, not very good at preventing or dealing with ordinary crime (their main job), better at investigating the odd egregious murder or ultra-high-value robbery, but preferring to act as, indeed, a poundland KGB, censoring and interfering with such matters as social media posts (often completely lawful even under the present repressive legal regime), or “enforcing” (and in fact going well beyond) the rules now laid down by an illegitimate ZOG political regime headed by a clown.
In fact, read this:
“Appearing on BBC Breakfast today, Superintendent Steve Pont from Derbyshire Police hit back at allegations he was ‘shaming’ dog walkers, claiming people were ‘looking for excuses and loopholes as to why they don’t need to stay at home when everyone else does.’ Supt Pont said his force was, ‘here to apply the law the government makes.’ “
[Daily Mail, about BBC TV Breakfast]
There we have the problem in a nutshell. A relatively senior officer of the police says that people were “looking for excuses and loopholes as to why they don’t need to stay at home when everyone else does.“, when in fact people, even under the absurd new law, do not have to stay at home. They are entitled to take daily exercise alone or with co-habitees, they are not prohibited from driving to that place of permitted exercise, they are not prohibited from driving a car or motorbike there or, arguably, anywhere so long as they do not get out and socialize. They are also permitted to shop for food, drink, medicine etc and are not prohibited from driving to shop.
Superintendent Plod, I mean Pont, of Derbyshire Police, has just decided to remake the new law in his own mind as “everyone has to stay at home unless the police permit”. No. No. No.
These social measures, now nodded into law overnight by 650 “democratically elected” idiots, cannot work unless the public supports them and plays ball. The police, by their panic-stricken bullying, risk being ignored if they keep pushing like this. The police should remind themselves that, if everyone ignores them, they are all but powerless.
People —or at least 99% of people— are willing to take reasonable measures to self-isolate, only shop or exercize with care once daily, socially distance, not socialize etc, but the hectoring and basically silly attitude of the police risks alienation of that public.
What after Coronavirus?
Coronavirus will not last longer than (maybe) June in the UK. By that time, either people will have had it (and recovered, in most cases) or infection will not be happening (because the virus lasts for only 1-4 weeks in people: those infected either do not show symptoms, or suffer from them, or die, within a few weeks of being infected); the virus only lasts for hours, days or, exceptionally, weeks on surfaces. The crisis should therefore be over by early Summer. Its damage to our politics, economy (especially) and law will then become apparent.
I need to blog separately about this.
Evening foray
No evening (or daytime) expedition to shops today. In fact, I have been the ideal “UK Coronavirus” citizen, sleeping half the day away and spending most of the rest of the time on the Internet, connected to the wide world.
I noticed that there was a beautiful crescent Moon, completely on its side like a Grail symbol. A planet (Venus?) was very clear too. Must have something to do with the clearer air across the world.
Final thought
Coronavirus will be effectively over by June or July this year, i.e. 3-4 months. The new government powers last until 2022 and the first vote to dispense with them will be only in September 2020. Will the System find an excuse to renew the powers?
We are told that the Coronavirus COVID-19 started spontaneously in a seafood and live animal market in Wuhan, China, a country where people, or some people, treat animals appallingly, and where many eat strange things such as bats.
That may be true. I cannot say that it is untrue. There are, however, dissenting voices, that is to say voices dissenting from the official narrative. I was sent this:
I was at first inclined to accept the official narrative as most likely correct. Now? Not sure.
What interests me more are the socio-political effects of the Coronavirus on the world and particularly the UK. In particular, I noted that the near-dictatorial powers which the Government of the UK has taken on are not designed to last for a few weeks, a few months. No…they are drafted to last for TWO YEARS. I think that we are entitled to ask why that is so.
True, the powers taken by the UK Government can be removed again by Commons vote (every 6 months or, in constitutional principle, at any time), but this government, with its 80-strong majority, can push through extensions easily, if it wants.
Boris-idiot, posing as PM, has shown little or no leadership, but that has not prevented “Conservative” scribblers from behaving like the most sycophantic Stalinists in the Soviet Writers’ Union (of about 1948). Look at this creature:
An assured performance by @borisjohnson who was speaking like the head of a wartime government. ‘We are all enlisted,’ he said.
Most people are natural followers. Few like to have to think for themselves. In this case, spurred by natural feelings of fear, anxiety etc, most people want to “do the right thing” and that can include thinking the “right” thing.
Despite the above, a minority is beginning to question the origin of Coronavirus, the fairly draconian measures now being taken by the UK government and, even leaving all that aside, whether the economic stimulus is being done in the right way.
Peter Hitchens has tweeted scornfully about the situation
Then they are complacent fools, who do not deserve the liberty they inherited, and so will lose it for themselves and their children. Shaming. https://t.co/WtpSz8uCvP
They're exaggerating its importance, and sliding over the fact that people who die *with* coronavirus did not necessarily die *of* it. Average number of flu deaths in England for last 5 seasons was 17,000 deaths annually. Ranged from 1,692 deaths (2018/19) to 28,330 in 2014/15. https://t.co/LxOPcBBfvL
Prepare for an outbreak of informing. The Johnson house arrest scheme is an ideal opportunity for the spiteful and the vengeful, to report neighbours for what would have been legal on Monday. Ugh.
So humiliating to have to confess to foreign admirers of British freedom that our liberties were suppressed by a clown, and the British people rolled over and accepted it. Lots of national songs now need to be rewritten.
Twaddle. Until tonight I was free to leave my home whenever I chose for whatever purpose I chose for as long as I chose, and go wherever I chose, a freedom I used to the full. Now all those freedoms have been extinguished. And by a clown. https://t.co/70O0TDeoO2
Well, almost no dissenting voices. But those who *do* dissent can be guaranteed to receive a slime-storm of abuse and calls for them to be silenced. https://t.co/QZ8U3ly0t5
Perhaps they felt the advice was oppressive and disproportionate ( as it was) . Until today they were free to do so. Now they live in a comic-opera police state Please watch https://t.co/Q9FmTDybIDhttps://t.co/kEt0T4D0J0
Because @KD_dono the danger is gravely over-rated, and the measures proposed unproven, damaging disproportionate and most unlikely to succeed. Listen to a real expert here https://t.co/Q9FmTDybIDhttps://t.co/chyC4T4ngU
Al Johnson's brilliant plan: like a doctor treating a pneumonia victim by amputating his leg. AS a result, the man has one leg, and still has pneumonia. When the sufferer eventually recovers from pneumonia, Johnson will say he has cured him. But he will still only have one leg.
Now listening to 'debate' in Commons on major stifling of personal liberty. One can only assume that there is now a stringent test to prevent intelligent people from becoming MPs. A rare government success if so.
Clown puts country under house arrest. Country doesn't care. So perishes one of the freest societies ever to exist in human history, amid giggles and bad science. And suckers who believe state propaganda. Govt has no idea what it is doing: https://t.co/Q9FmTDybID
Anyone else out there still have any regard for liberty? It is striking that the country of Magna Carta, Habeas Corpus, and the Bill of Rights should be put under house arrest by a clown. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a giggle.
But what is interesting is how many people attack me for attacking this blatant assault upon liberty. This is how you can tell the country is finished. And people used to ask me, they really did, why I urged them to get out while they could.
I'm partly mocking Alexander Johnson's ridiculous, sinister government because I'm worried that tomorrow night he'll come on TV to tell me I am not allowed to mock the government. Unthinkable you say? How unthinkable was national house arrest a week ago?
Ridiculous and Sinister – the policy of the Johnson government. The man who crashed the economy and put the nation under house arrest while he was doing it.
I do not agree with everything written or said by Hitchens, who is also, in fact, not the great champion of freedom he likes to present as (he blocked me on Twitter a few years ago when he discovered a. that I could match his erudition and b. that the Jewish lobby trolls were hostile to me; I presumed that he did not want to lose his lucrative msm work), but his tweets here are important, because they go against both an almost hysterical official narrative and also an unthinking public.
Hitchens is on to something here, and makes a few valid points for sure. He is not alone.
Others have noted unreported factors or strange anomalies in the present government policy:
The economy was due to crash anyway, this virus is the patsy. Also allows them to bring in draconian laws that will be used to control the masses of unemployed in the near future
Just spoke to my friend who is cabin crew on a BA A380. About 45 minutes ago he landed at Heathrow from HKONG and disembarked over 300 British Chinese. Why ffs?

The “lockdown” relies on people self-censoring, “doing the right thing” if you like. I am not opposed to that as matters stand with “the virus”, but I am very uneasy with where this is all leading.
I am presently blogging separately about where UK society and economy will be in a while. We are approaching a massive change across the world, particularly across Europe. 2022 will bring change on a scale not seen since socialism in all forms collapsed in and after 1989. It’s a 33-year cycle which has interested me for a long time.
We must be clear. These restrictions can only work if the general population goes along with them. I don’t mean “work” in terms of suppressing Coronavirus infections. The restrictions may or may not work in that sense. I do not know. No, what I mean is “will the restrictions work in terms of enforcement?”
Most people will no doubt go along with the restrictions for a few weeks. If this situation continues for longer, probably not. It has been reported that the police have been told to expect 6 months of this! I cannot see the population sitting still indefinitely.
The head of the Police Federation has now said that officers
are unsure how to enforce the new “lockdown” measures;
are already ignoring crime because prioritizing the enforcement of “lockdown”.
I cannot see how the two above statements can be easily reconciled, but the law was ever “a ass…a idiot”, as one character from Dickens expostulates.
At this stage, it is clear that the portentous announcement, by a clownish Prime Minister, of “lockdown”, is a kind of sleight of hand, or if you prefer, confidence trick. The State, as matters stand, cannot actually enforce these strictures. It is reliant on the population agreeing with them and playing ball.
I suppose that the police could impose road blocks between towns or even within towns, but the police officers would have no way of checking whether any one motorist is on a legitimate mission of mercy, of shopping for supplies, of commuting to a “essential” job, or whether that motorist is going to a house party (banned under the regs) or simply driving around because bored. If that last, why shouldn’t he, really? Someone in a car is not going to infect anyone by reason of simply driving around.
It is hard to escape the view that at least part of all of this is designed to create an atmosphere in which a fearful population submits to State orders. Of course, behind that is, also, the real threat from Coronavirus.
Despite the plaudits heaped upon Rishi Sunak for opening the gates of the money dam, I wonder what the outcome will be, a year or two down the line. Not good, I think. However, I shall examine that more in my (not yet published) blog on the socio-economic aspects of the virus crisis.
As blogged about previously, the police in the UK are gradually abandoning the population, especially the white English population. The police, behaving as a Poundland KGB, prefer to concentrate on political or socio-political “crime” such as “racist” tweets etc. Or now, “prioritizing lockdown”.
Another absurdly ambiguous Govt. press conference. Zero clarity re whether people should go to work or not, what constitutes 'essential' etc. Why can't they get their damn messaging right? Health Secretary @MattHancock says 'it's crystal clear'. It's NOT!
Went out not long before darkness fell. Intended to visit a chemist’s, only to find it shut by reason of truncated opening hours. Nuisance. Drove to small village shop a few miles further on. Near to its new 1800 closing time. No bread, but bought a little milk and some local asparagus. I noticed that some dry pasta was available. I myself have no need for any more, but it was heartening to see that not all had sold, even if only basic spaghetti. At least the shelves were not bare, except for the bread shelf (and even that had a sad and solitary roll still on sale).
As for other people: a few couples walking in the country lanes, a few solitary dog walkers too in the semi-suburbanized villages, a few bicyclists. No one at the little shop noted above. Roads very quiet, even the nearest rural A-road. No sign of police activity of any kind, even in the local town. General impression of an almost-closed-down society.
Poignant, but what struck me was the “two degrees” bit. Why does someone with two degrees work in a pub (for years)? The answer —unless the degrees were only completed out of interest— must be that, from the strictly vocational/job point of view, “degrees” (an outdated mediaeval concept anyway) are now next to worthless on the open jobs market (even though quite ordinary jobs now “require” a “degree”). When everyone and his dog has a degree, what is a degree worth? Not much.
The corollary to the above is that one must ask why the State should subsidize those educational qualifications that are valueless, in direct terms, to the State and society.
