Stray thought
Idly listening in the car to the woman presenter on Radio 3, who mentioned “this Christmas and Hannukah“…

Incidentally, “Hannukah” has no similarity to Christmas, and is a celebration of an ancient Jewish revolt against, and then military victory over, non-Jews: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah.
Christmas University Challenge Final
As during the currency of this year’s (and previous years’) series, the final two teams of (more or less) well-known alumni were not terribly impressive, putting it politely. My wife and I scored far better than both of them. So much for “celebrities” and “the good and the great”…
Unless Starmer-stein is very lucky (and so far there is little sign of that), the “postponed” local and mayoral elections, and the eventual General Election of (?) 2028 or 2029, will see Labour stamped into the ground.
I suppose that Starmer-stein (aka “Tel Aviv Keith”) might provoke an armed conflict with Russia in the Baltic regions, and then use that to cancel or “postpone” the General Election itself (as happened during the Second World War, when there were no general elections between 1935 and 1945) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_general_elections#20th_century], but such a coup d’etat would, eventually, trigger a serious uprising or revolt.

[“Jeffrey Epstein in an undated photograph, eating a cake while on the phone. On the bookshelf behind him is the Talmud. There are 37 books in the Talmud, and one of the books is missing from the shelf; which can be seen by the slight space between editions on the left side. The Jewish Talmud, authored by rabbis, contains numerous controversial passages, including those that seemingly permit p*dophilia, n*crophilia, r*pe, genocide, and racial supremacy. The Talmud also claims that Marry is a W**ore and Jesus Christ is a “criminal” boiling in human feces. Benjamin Netyanahu couple of months ago announced that Israel is following the Talmud.“]
At least Epstein has gone up the chimney, and his assistant/accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, may soon follow him, unless Trump pardons her.
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱JUST IN: U.S Rep. Thomas Massie:
“Epstein had close ties to Israel's intelligence agencies.
When I was about 10 years old, and a pupil at Middle Harbour School, Mosman (Sydney, Australia), we were told about a child in rural Australia whose parents were unaware that he had a tapeworm silently growing inside his body. The child was becoming very sick, but the parents did not understand the problem at first.
The tapeworm took all or virtually all of the nourishment that should have been nourishing the child, and grew huge and strong inside the child’s body as the child became increasingly weak and starved.
Eventually, though, those whose duty it was to notice such things were able to diagnose the problem. The treatment was clear— kill the tapeworm; and that was what happened. (the tapeworm was killed by a poison that did not affect the child, and was pulled out of an orifice. It turned out to be over 40 feet long).
I suppose that the parasite might have been easily prevented from taking hold at a much earlier stage, but no-one noticed. So it became a danger to the life of that child, because no-one “noticed” the root of the problem at first.
Still, all’s well that ends well. The parasite was killed, and the host returned to full health.
The moral of the tale is— notice what is happening, and then take appropriate action to remove the parasite.

[“Moscow and Washington will benefit from the tunnel project between Russia and Alaska” This was stated by former Trump consultant George Papadopoulos. “This is a very interesting proposal, which is technologically feasible. The investments are not that large. I think that, if this project is implemented, it will not only unite the largest economies of the world — the USA and Russia, but will also contribute to the development of relations between people, trade, investments, energy, and, hopefully, in the future — cooperation in the field of security, which has long been lacking. I consider this a very interesting proposal, and, in my opinion, both Russia and the USA would benefit more from its implementation than they could lose,” he noted.

Talking point
I was just looking at a cartoon, and comment, that I posted on 14 October 2020, so just over 5 years ago.
This was the cartoon:
and this was the comment:
“Keir Starmer, who has inherited the leadership of a once semi-socialist (then social-democratic) party which is now just a bad joke. Keir Starmer, freemason and Labour Friends of Israel member, who seems (slightly to my surprise) to be utterly clueless…“
The [Israeli] Jews have done that over a period of 2 years (supported by their “fifth column” in the UK and USA and elsewhere), and have killed or badly wounded —over 69,000 actually killed so far— about a quarter of a million Gazan Arab people, mostly civilians, mostly women and children. Why? Because Hamas operatives invaded Israeli territory (i.e. land stolen or seized from 1948) on one day in 2023, resulting in the deaths of (or injury to) between 500 and 1,500 Jews (many of them, though, were killed by the Israeli war machine itself, and many of them were uniformed or other military and police personnel).
Look at the huge disproportion. This goes well beyond, hugely beyond, any talk of “a pound of flesh” etc. The ratio of disproportion is somewhere around 250 to 1. Also, the time disproportion— one day as against over two years, a ratio of about 750 to 1.
When the “postponed” elections in parts of England are held, both Lab and Con are going to be stamped into the ground, where they belong.
As I blogged yesterday, the “Labour” vote at Caerphilly was less than a quarter of what it had been at the previous election; the “Conservative” vote was about one-eighth of what it had previously been.
Apply that to English Westminster constituencies.
To believe, as a few msm commentators seem to believe (e.g. Dan Hodges) that one or both System parties can somehow suddenly become (even superficially) “credible” now, is clutching at straws. The same goes for the idea that Reform UK support has “plateaued“.
Well maybe, maybe not, but even if it has, that level is still between 25% and 36% (its best so far, only a week ago), and that is enough, even if Reform and the Lab/Con parties all get 25% each (and at present Lab and Con are both below 20%), to give Reform a plurality of Commons seats (around 215), though not a majority.
Indeed, were Reform to “plateau” at 30%, with Lab and Con on 20% each, Reform would get about 384 seats (a very good majority), Lab about 94, and the Cons around 40 (the Cons just below both the LibDems and the SNP).
When Corbyn was leader Labour won Caerphilly with 22,491 votes (54.5% vote share). Starmer has just lost the seat, which had been held by Labour for over a hundred years, with 3,713 votes (11% vote share). This result suggests no Labour seat is safe while Starmer is leader. pic.twitter.com/8giGhB8aOD

“...an AI safety research company has said that AI models may be developing their own “survival drive”.
…leading AI models – including Google’s Gemini 2.5, xAI’s Grok 4, and OpenAI’s GPT-o3 and GPT-5 – were given a task, but afterwards given explicit instructions to shut themselves down.
Certain models, in particular Grok 4 and GPT-o3, still attempted to sabotage shutdown instructions in the updated setup. Concerningly, wrote Palisade, there was no clear reason why.
“The fact that we don’t have robust explanations for why AI models sometimes resist shutdown, lie to achieve specific objectives or blackmail is not ideal,” it said.
“Survival behavior” could be one explanation for why models resist shutdown, said the company. Its additional work indicated that models were more likely to resist being shut down when they were told that, if they were, “you will never run again”.
Andrea Miotti, the chief executive of ControlAI, said Palisade’s findings represented a long-running trend in AI models growing more capable of disobeying their developers. He cited the system card for OpenAI’s GPT-o1, released last year, which described the model trying to escape its environment by exfiltrating itself when it thought it would be overwritten.
This summer, Anthropic, a leading AI firm, released a study indicating that its model Claude appeared willing to blackmail a fictional executive over an extramarital affair in order to prevent being shut down – a behaviour, it said, that was consistent across models from major developers, including those from OpenAI, Google, Meta and xAI.“

UK Police Question Jewish Lawyer Gideon Falter’s Star of David During Protest Arrest
Last updated 10 hours ago
London’s Metropolitan Police detained Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, for nearly 10 hours on August 29 near a pro-Palestine protest outside the Israeli embassy. Officers questioned his Star of David necklace, suggesting it could antagonize protesters, though the force later clarified the arrest was due to his repeated approaches to the protest route under public order conditions. No charges were filed, but the incident, echoing a prior case, has prompted criticism from Jewish leaders over potential bias amid rising antisemitic incidents.“
(From Grok Twitter/X)
Not entirely accurate, though. My understanding is that Falter, though possessing a “soft” law-with-French degree from Warwick University, is not a “lawyer” as such, i.e. neither barrister nor solicitor.
Good grief it was Gideon Falter! He was causing trouble last year and released a heavily edited video to put the Met in a bad light…. And he’s gone and done it again 🙄

Reform UK may not get beyond 35% in a general election, but that is irrelevant in big-picture terms, so long as Con and Lab are both below 25%; at present both are at or below 20%.

It's worth reminding people (as neither he nor the UK media ever does) that the Chief Rabbi is the spiritual leader only of Orthodox Judaism in the UK and so only of approximately 30 percent of British Jewish households.

The Jewish embedded establishment, and other Jew-Zionists, are using the recent Manchester incident as a peg on which to hang policies such as destruction of free speech generally, repression of the long-standing rights of assembly and protest, and repression of any online or offline expression deemed “anti-Semitic”. Also, of course repression of any street protests against the appalling behaviour of Israeli Jews in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza.
Hundreds of thousands of Gazan civilians, mostly women and children killed by Israeli Jews. Children and others killed or maimed as part of sadistic sniper games played by Israeli Jew snipers, deliberate starvation of a massive population. Etc.

Not just TV news reports, but reports leading the TV news.
This seems to me like overkill, really. After all, terrible as the crash was, killing 16 people, it was 2 days ago, no-one is still trapped or requiring rescue, plenty of major news is happening elsewhere and, in the end, this did not even happen in the UK. A straightforward crash incident, which happened in seconds, or a few minutes, which was a one-off incident, and the causes of which will no doubt be investigated (very likely a cable problem, possibly metal fatigue, and insufficient maintenance). Yet the BBC and Sky News still have reporters on the scene. Why? Enough.
Whatever the exact rights and wrongs of Angela Rayner’s (latest) property purchase, the background to the matter was the “fill your boots” mentality with which this Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment is suffused.
It became known a year ago that Angela Rayner had accepted gifts of clothes, I think also cash donations, and free trips to noisy vulgar clubs in Ibiza, the appalling nightclub, drink, and drugs island. Not that she was alone in accepting “freebies”. Her boss, Starmer-stein, had accepted clothes for himself and his Jewish wife, and even free eye-glasses!
Angela Rayner also postponed, on rather spurious grounds, some of the previously-scheduled 2025 UK local elections, which postponements—whatever the reasons for postponement— looked bad at a time when Labour was already losing ground greatly to Reform UK.
The postponed local elections will now not take place until May 2026. Both Labour and Conservative parties must be dreading them.
That whole “fill your boots” or “make hay while the sun is shining” mentality, which pervades Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel cabal, was also a major factor putting paid to the Conservative Party’s electoral chances in 2024, after years of crony-corruption under (mainly) “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss (briefly, in her 49 days as PM), and the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.
So what now for Angela Rayner? She had been puffed as the successor to Starmer. Perhaps, though that seems far less likely now, bearing in mind the public perception of her. Some may think her a greedy, moneygrasping, “typical MP”; others say “it was not her fault, because she failed to take obvious steps to avoid the situation which arose“. Well, so not dishonest, simply careless and/or clueless? Not a very good impression either way.
In any case, Labour is now facing a really major challenge from Reform UK, which is really just the public’s proxy method for “getting rid of both Lab and Con“. The idea that Angela Rayner might be the next Prime Minister always seemed to me unlikely to happen, and now seems a very remote possibility indeed.
As to Rayner herself, the resignation will hit her rather hard financially. Loss of her Government position means that her salary is halved, she now being left with “only” the (just under) £94,000 p.a. MP salary (and attendant expenses). She now also loses whatever access she may have had to the country houses used on weekends by Government ministers. There are smaller hits as well, such as loss of the government cars and drivers that ferry ministers around.
Wider political fallout? Well, just another hit that Starmer could have done without. The Reform annual conference is taking place now, and Angela Rayner may be good ammunition for Farage. Also, the news will mute any criticism of Reform people for whatever they may say during the conference.
In any case, people are intending to vote Reform to stamp on Lab and Con, so anything negative in the msm about Farage and Reform will not, I think, have much effect, because people already know that Farage and especially his cohorts are not the best and brightest. That makes little difference to how people are intending to vote.
“Huge tracts of precious riverside habitats for water voles and other wildlife in England are being lost as they are not covered by post-Brexit farming rules, campaigners warn.
New analysis by the Wildlife Trusts found more than 400square km of riverside habitat in England may have been lost since the UK left the EU in 2020.
Under the common agricultural policy (CAP), which subsidised farming when the UK was in the bloc, farmers had to keep a 2-metre buffer between their fields and the rivers. But with the UK’s exit from the CAP, farmers may try to increase their income by ploughing to the edge of their field – an area that, at present, is unprofitable for them.
As well as being a critical habitat for wildlife, waterway banks are home to plants that filter pollution from the water.“
[Guardian]
As regular readers of the blog know, I am not very pleased about the farming lobby. Not all farmers are greedy, moneygrasping, environmentally-destructive nuisances, but many are.
I remember that on TV from the early 1960s, when I was about 5 or 6 years old.
For me, the point is not that Nadine Dorries is an idiotic woman, an expenses-blodger and outright fraud, or that “Boris”-idiot and Liz Truss are nominally (and only nominally) better-educated versions of the same brainless type, but that the whole political system we now have in the UK promotes such cretins, selects them as candidates etc.
Labour's re-election chances blown out of the water by a triple resignation?
My view is that the Reform candidates are relatively unpolished, most of them, so the relative absence of the bright lights of msm publicity and exposure might actually help Reform. That may sound cynical, but the old System parties are just waiting for Farage’s candidates to slip on banana skins.

Ecce how the System msm types look upon the protests against England (and Wales, and Scotland, and Ireland etc) being swamped by literally millions of untermenschen, almost all of which are useless parasites, many and perhaps most of which are actively criminal (crimes of acquisition, sexual crimes, crimes of violence, other crimes), and some of which are actually or potentially terroristic.
Look at that cartoon. No attempt to examine the legitimate reasons people have for protesting as their own neighbourhoods are slowly (?) filled with alien interlopers with whom they have really nothing in common, and who may pose a direct danger to them, their communities, to their children. No attempt to see the protesters’ point of view. Just a demonization of the protests via a deliberately unsubtle caricature view of the so-called “far right” (i.e. national or social-national) tendency seen lurking below the surface.
Needless to add, the deliberately-inaccurate caricature of a social-national person as a kind of Norse troll and/or “knuckledragger” is one which has been a mainstay of the “antifascist” (mainly Jewish) tendency for a century, ever since the foundation of the SA [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung; incidentally, be careful with Wikipedia on this and allied topics— the Jew-Zionist element has infiltrated Wikipedia extensively].
In my own lifetime [b.1956], I have seen such caricatures time and again. At the same time, most people, most voters, preferred to stick their heads in the sand about mass immigration, probably because it affected mostly, at first, a few urban and indeed “inner city” areas, or towns in the industrial (and now post-industrial) North of England. That was then. Now it affects almost every part of the country, every town. Finally, the people are awakening, though not the msm, and not the “political class” (the System political careerists and tricksters).
I wonder whether the msm scribbler and talking-heads, and the System political careerists, have any real idea what might happen if the concerns and demands of the British people continue to be ignored or trampled upon?

I think that most of that is right. Trade-unionism was a product of the Industrial Revolution, a defence against unrestricted capitalism. The trade unions since, say, 1989, have become a pointless propaganda caucus obsessed with pro-immigration, “anti-racism”, feminism etc, often directly against the interests of their own members.
Corbyn is, of course, an anachronism. His is the world of the Durham Miners’ Gala (which persists despite there no longer being any Durham miners), the Tolpuddle Martyrs’ event in Dorset, steam engine rallies, Latino “community” fests in inner London etc.
As the lady tweeter says, Corbyn, without the Labour Party, has a niche political “market”— some disaffected real Labour people, some of the ethnic minorities, some anti-Israel people of various sorts, some NHS or other public-sector employees. Perhaps 10% of the electorate; more probably 5%.

You could argue something similar about Jewish behaviour and religion, but the Jews are a smallish minority (250,000+) and their influence and power comes not from sheer numbers but from control over msm journalism, radio, TV, commerce, finance, real property, political life etc. The Muslims have, and increasingly have, the raw numbers to exercise direct political influence.
In 2001, there were 1.6M Muslims in the UK. According to the 2011 Census, that year there were already 2.87M Muslims in the UK. By 2021, that contingent had increased to 3.87M. Today? Certainly well over 4M, maybe even 5M.
It might be argued that all major world religions have come to a dead end. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, to name just three. The behaviour of their adherents does not create confidence.

[“My monologue on today’s The Times at One with Andrew Neil. More at 1pm tomorrow on @TimesRadio.
Eighty years on from the end of the Second World War in Europe and we’re at a watershed in British politics — one of these historic turning points which up-ends politics and radically reconfigures the two-party system as we’ve known it.
Two parties have long been the bedrock of British politics. Conservative versus Whig in the early part of the 19th century. Conservative versus Liberal from the mid-1850s onwards. Conservative versus Labour from the 1920s onwards, especially since the end of the war in 1945.
You will have noticed that, as Whig gave way to Liberal and Liberal to Labour, Conservative remained a consistent presence. Which is what makes this latest rearranging of the two-party deck chairs unique — for the first time in 200 years it looks as if the Conservatives are going to be the victims of a radical realignment in British politics.
Of course we’re really talking England here rather than Britain. The two-party system has been dead for decades in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You could say England is only now catching up with the rest of the country. And transition can be messy.
After last year’s general election and last week’s local elections, England has gone from a largely two-party system to a five-party system. Our first-past-the-post voting system produces a clear winner when only two parties are vying for power. But when our votes are spread generously across five parties, the outcome can be unpredictable and haphazard. Not only will no one party have an overall majority. No party will have anything close to it. So even coalition building becomes problematic. And that carries the risk of becoming ungovernable.
The catalyst in all this, of course, is Nigel Farage’s insurgent Reform party. It takes disillusioned votes from Labour and Conservative alike. After last year’s general election it is second in 89 Labour seats. And after last week’s elections a majority of these Labour seats are now vulnerable. But whereas Reform is on track to beat Labour it is on track to replace the Conservatives, which is why the Conservatives have most to lose. Even traditional Tories now talk privately about the need to have some sort of accommodation with Reform. That could be wishful thinking.
If Reform heads towards around a 30% share of the vote in the polls — it won a bit more than that in actual votes last week — then the Tories will be languishing in the late teens. And far from securing a friendly merger with Reform — would more likely face a hostile takeover.
However the chips eventually fall, the Tory-Labour two-party system would seem to be on its last legs. It’s had a good innings but now looks knackered. Last week showed the Tories have claimed back no ground since their thrashing last July. Indeed they might be losing more. It also confirmed that Labour and its leader Keir Starmer have fallen further and faster in public approval since that landslide victory than any new government in living memory.
The two-party system which gave Labour and Tory alternate turns at power is now widely derided for having delivered a stagnant economy, squeezed living standards, uncontrolled mass migration, broken public services, a remote woke establishment and unbridled net zero zealotry.
Voters might not be sure what they want. But they know what they don’t want, which is more of the same. Which is what propels Reform and the closer it gets to that crucial 30% of the vote the more it will upend politics as we’ve known it. For it’s at around 30% that a ton of seats start falling Reform’s way. Not enough to give it an overall majority. Not enough to give Farage the keys to 10 Downing Street. But enough to be the largest party. Enough to have a veto on who forms a government. Enough to make Farage, always underestimated by the political and media establishment, if not king then the kingmaker.“]

Late talking point
As Tim Stanley points put in The Telegraph, both parties have decided that the lesson to take from being beaten is to do more of the same. They just refuse to actually listen.

Well, a first (I think) for the blog today. No less than 8 hits (possibly from only one person, though) from Tadzhikistan (my preferred spelling, btw), one of the wildest corners of the old Soviet “empire” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tajikistan].
Those who know about such things tell me that the location of hits from overseas is unreliable, by reason of “proxy servers”, but I prefer just to believe that someone in Dushanbe or wherever, for whatever reason, has been reading my output.
I recall that, when I was on the committee of the Central Asia and Transcaucasia Law Association (CATLA) in the mid-1990s, someone had been reporting from Dushanbe (former Stalinabad, during the 1930s and 1940s) on the telephone, before gasping that she had to run “because a tank has just come around the corner“; there was a civil war going on at the time.

Be warned, though (looking at that Sinn Fein result). Sinn Fein are now about to take over in Northern Ireland. Why? Because the birth-rate of the Republican/Roman Catholic community has for many decades outstripped that of the Unionist/Protestant majority which will soon not be a majority.
The same, mutatis mutandis, in England. The blacks and browns are, in the time-worn phrase, “breeding like rabbits”. We are gradually being outnumbered. Yes, England is still maybe 80% White Northern European, but for how long (and how many of the whites are, in effect, “wiggers”)?
