The pernicious campaign inciting war between the West including, perhaps especially, the UK, and Russia, is ubiquitous. Such a war would be even more disastrous than the Second World War.

Far fewer than usual. Either the Kiev regime is running short on drones, or is planning a spectacular mass attack, using hoarded drones. Probably the latter.

[“Bondarenko: Western Europe is preparing for a new Northern war against Russia and therefore insists that Ukraine has 800,000 soldiers The Ukrainian political analyst Konstantin BONDARENKO: The war will be fought for control over the Baltic Sea, to deny Russia access to that sea. This was confirmed to me by sources in the European expert community. They are not for peace there, only for a ceasefire. For freezing the conflict – with a subsequent thaw The Euro-Atlantic region is forced to watch as the Ukrainian project, once considered a pillar-support in the fight against Russia, turns into an uncontrolled and toxic mechanism capable of dragging down everyone involved in its artificial maintenance.”]

The Iranian forces must be digging very very deep, in order to protect their missiles and their nuclear programme. Israel is doomed.

From the horse’s mouth. Israel will be using Jews who live outside Israel to “monitor” non-Jews in their own countries; that Israel/”diaspora” nexus will not only be “monitoring” anti-Israel content, but trying to suppress it, and to repress those posting it. That nexus will also be creating false narratives etc.

It is already happening, in fact. AIPAC in the USA, the “CST” and malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] in the UK etc. You see it elsewhere too, France, Australia etc.

Ukrainians are fighting and dying on the front-lines, while “they” sing and dance and profit.

Not as silly as it may sound to some.

Russia’s world leadership will not arrive for another 1,500 years but, in the meantime, Russia must be allowed to develop in its own way, not as a field of exploitation by Western profiteers.

In short, they are a millstone around the neck of the British people.

By that, Goodwin means vote for Reform UK. OK…but that may not be enough, in the end.

“...a message they will understand“? I think I had better not say too much, now we in the UK live in a rapidly-emerging police state…

It seems to me that both main (or formerly “main”) System parties are living in a world of delusion in which, after events or scandals or propaganda attack ads, the disenchanted British voters will ditch their new-found support for Reform and the Greens, and will return to the old comfortable (?) fold as Con and Lab voters. Not going to happen, in my view. The old loyalties and habits have been shattered by the betrayals by both Lab and Con (and their palpable incompetence, as well).

[“NEW: The Government is set to announce the “biggest animal welfare reforms” in a generation – Ban puppy farming by reforming dog breeding rules – Ban electric shock collars on pets pending a consultation – Ban trail hunting amid concerns it is being used as a smokescreen for illegal fox hunting – Introduce humane slaughter rules for farmed fish to prevent avoidable pain during killing – Phase out colony cages for laying hens, which restrict movement and natural behaviours like nesting and perching, and pig farrowing crates, which confine mother pigs and stop them turning around after giving birth – Ban snare traps that can catch pets and cause suffering for animals – Reform the use of carbon dioxide to stun pigs after evidence it causes distress and suffering – Ban shooting hares during the breeding season (roughly from February to September) so young hares are not left without mothers.”]

For once, I thoroughly approve of all the new government measures (re. animal welfare) but, as tweeter Sophie Meaden says, both Muslim halal and Jewish kosher slaughter must also be banned.

Naturally, Starmer-stein’s government would not ban “Semitic” forms of slaughter, because 1. this is a totally “occupied” Labour Friends of Israel government which 2. in terms of numbers of actual votes is dependent on UK-resident Muslims.

I might add that I suspect that these (otherwise welcome) animal welfare measures are being brought in partly to —so to speak— shoot the Green Party’s fox, and cut some support ground from underneath the Greens.

Quite. By the same token, while I am sorry for those with disabilities, I oppose the near-worship exemplified by the Paralympics. The Olympics are supposed to be “Faster, Higher, Stronger“, so having a kind of parallel for-the-disabled sports-fest does not seem to be quite right, though I take little interest in sports anyway, so that is not a major issue for me.

As to comedy, I have no idea who the featured individual is (or what she is saying, as tweeter Sophie Meaden says) but Ms. Meaden’s view is surely correct.

There is a kind of madness abroad in this country now. It is seen in various realms, and was very obvious during the truly ridiculous and absurd “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic of 2020-2022. Examples: the range of ludicrous “measures” taken (facemask nonsense, “social distancing”, “furlough” payments, fraudulent business loans or grants, the toytown police of the toytown police state checking people’s shopping, and arresting people out of a drive or a walk or sitting on benches at the seaside).

Mad. All mad. Oh, and who could forget the ridiculous “clap for the NHS” nonsense?

As to comedy, it dies when the State, or the System, mandates what cannot be said, or who can or cannot be laughed at. Thus the Soviet Union had a magazine called Krokodil, supposedly satirical, but it could only laugh at approved targets, so not the CPSU (Communist Party), not socialism as a system etc. The same thing has now happened (since the early 1990s) in the UK. Example: the lame Have I Got News for You show. Private Eye magazine, too.

No comedian who wants to be on TV or radio, or even in theatres, can make fun of Jews, blacks, or a range of other groups or events or types.

We now have an ever-tightening noose of censorship. The “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127, for example, is frequently abused by the malicious Jew-Zionists such as, in fact mainly, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

In fact, the Jewish/Israel lobby is behind much, though not all, of the anti-free speech activity in the UK. The Muslim element too, though much less so. Then there is the pervasive “political correctness” or “woke” influence.

I have a few good cartoons illustrating all that but, because they featured as Prosecution evidence in my 2023 free speech trial, I prefer not to republish them at present. Q.E.D.

Somewhat different from other polls of the past few months. Translates to a Commons with about 283 Reform UK MPs (about 30 short of an overall majority), Cons 111 (far better than all other recent polls; not far short of their present position; and they would be the Opposition, if not in some kind of compact with Reform, which would be not unlikely), 64 Lab, 60 Greens, 50 LibDems, and 44 SNP [etc].

Lord Ashcroft’s polling has been accurate in the past. It may just be that the electorate is very volatile at present.

Good point.

Just as the founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale, has apparently been rather sidelined in UK school history teaching by some Jamaican woman called Mary Seacole, who, inter alia, ran a teashop for officers during the Crimean War.

Mary Seacole, who described herself as “a yellow woman“, i.e. some kind of Creole or mulatta (her father was a Scottish officer, and she also called herself “Creole“), was not a nurse, as such, or as we would understand the term, but primarily a businesswoman in the Caribbean/South American region; she ran hotels etc: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Seacole.

Wikipedia, while giving that information, yet describes Mary Seacole (in the headline description) as “a Black British nurse“! In fact, she is now described in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia piece simply as “…a British nurse“. An example of the faking of history which is now so widespread.

Mary Seacole’s mother was a “doctresse” (traditional healer) in Kingston, Jamaica, who taught her daughter basic healing and therapy.

Mary Seacole’s life is interesting enough without needing to be put through the process of “woke” hagiography.

One might add that Mary Seacole was not above looting churches etc for her own gain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Seacole#Crimean_War,_1853%E2%80%9356.

I do not think that one could imagine Florence Nightingale doing that.

Whatever one may think of Lord Ashcroft, the actions of the Imperial War Museum are, at the least, ungrateful.

I believe that the Imperial War Museum, which I visited once or twice when I was often in the neighbourhood in the early 1980s, has now given over much of its space to the Jew-Zionist WW2 “holocaust” farrago.

My experience tallies more with tweeter “Cushnut”, though —obviously— anecdotal evidence is always suspect.

[“It is not racist to demand migrants speak English fluently It is not racist to demand migrants do not commit crime It is not racist to demand migrants contribute to the economy It is not racist to demand migrants do not live on welfare It is not racist to demand taxpayer-funded housing goes to taxpayers It is not racist to prioritise your own citizens Labour and the Left want you to think entirely reasonable and legitimate policies are “racist” They are not. Reject the narrative.”]

…and whether or not someone or other calls something “racist” is actually irrelevant. What is important is what is right, whether or not it be called “racist”…

…and, as I noted on the blog yesterday, what is important is that Reform seems to have captured the settled voting intention of about a third of the electorate, somewhere between 28% and 36%. So long as the old System parties, or “legacy” parties are all below 25%, that leaves Reform in the dominant position, likely to have a plurality of Commons seats, and quite possibly a majority.

Huge numbers of non-Europeans have been granted “indefinite leave to remain” over past decades. Most should never have been granted such leave, and the same applies to all the “family members” that later joined them. Raus!

The gloves are coming off, but neither side should be directly targeting civilians.

It is unclear, though, whether or not some or all of the damage to residential buildings in Kiev was caused by botched Kiev-regime air defence missile launches.

The Conservative Party will probably end, or near its end, at the next General Election in (?) 2028 or 2029. Even if Kemi Badenoch goes and is then replaced by Jewish-lobby puppet Jenrick or another substitute.

As matters stand, any former Conservative (or other) voters wanting rid of Starmer-Labour will have to vote Reform, certainly in most English constituencies.

It is easy to forget that “Ukraine” (Kiev-regime Ukraine) only has, in broad-brush terms, whatever monies and weapons are supplied to it by others.

If Zelensky and his cabal look like they are going to launch powerful missile strikes on targets deep inside Russia, particularly Moscow and St. Petersburg, then I would not rule out a nuclear-weapons response from Russia.

Moscow wants to rule eastern Ukraine, including Kiev, not destroy or poison it, but there may come a point where a “devil’s balance” comes down too heavily on the one side of the scales.

Israel is doomed, in the medium-term.

As I blogged long ago, at least 2 years ago, the strategic balance was always in Russia’s favour, and Russia could not and would not lose this war. Now, events on the macro scale have ensured that that will be the case.

[“Parents were told – by people they thought were experts – that dire consequences would ensue if their children were not given access to puberty blockers. Stonewall told managers and employees that “transwomen” were entitled to enter women’s single-sex spaces and sports. It encouraged public and private sector organizations to “go beyond the law” in the hope that this would make gender self-ID the de facto – and eventually de jure – reality. Civil servants and officials around the country have promoted the message that trans-identifying people should be treated in accordance with their “gender identity”. Worst of all, children have been encouraged to believe it’s possible to change sex, and that they will be accepted for all purposes as the opposite sex. All these lies and misrepresentations have caused immense damage. Some of the protests have been repulsive and inexcusable. But the angry, distraught trans-identifying people we are hearing from were lied to by thousands of people who should have known better. When you’ve been living a lie, the truth is very painful. The civil unrest – and political troublemaking – we’ve seen is dangerous. @Keir_Starmer must make a statement welcoming the Supreme Court ruling and strongly affirming his party’s commitment to the rule of law.“]

Election news

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13477879/Only-one-four-voters-Tories-poll-Labour.html

Rishi Sunak has been given a glimmer of hope as a major new poll by Lord Ashcroft suggests that more than half of voters have yet to definitively make up their minds.

With less than five weeks until the General Election, the research shared exclusively with the Daily Mail found only four in ten have ‘definitely decided’ how to vote.

But in a sign of the mountain the Tories still have to climb, the poll gives Labour a 23 point lead. 

Overall, it puts Labour on a 47 per cent vote share, with the Tories on 24 per cent, and Reform UK on 11 per cent.”

Assuming honesty and relative accuracy of the poll, several points stand out for me.

Firstly, that this poll is not at all the “glimmer of hope” for Sunak and the Cons that the report accompanying it is spinning.

42% have “definitely decided” which way they are going to vote. Looking at recent polling elsewhere, that must greatly favour Labour. As for “...leaning towards a party” but “not definitely sure“, that could apply to any of the parties, but if most end up with Labour, then it is possible that Lab could end up, overall, topping 50%, leaving the Cons with a MP cadre in the single figures.

It might also mean, thinking of my previous speculation on the blog, that there are more people than polls suggest willing to vote Reform UK, if only as a protest, or as a method of giving the time-expired Conservative Party a kicking without having to vote Labour. “Secret” Reform UK voters. Do they even exist? We do not know. I think that they may exist, but in what numbers?

Anything up to 31% of eligible voters may not vote, it seems.

One big unanswered question is how many under-40s and especially under-25s will bother to vote, they being heavily pro-Labour.

On the other hand, the over-70s are the only age demographic more likely to vote Con than Lab. If significant numbers either vote Labour (unlikely) or Reform UK (much more likely) or simply abstain (not unlikely) then Sunak and the Cons really are in trouble.

Other takeaways include the fact (if it is a fact) that only 23% think that Sunak etc can do better than others at “running the economy” (Lab 37%; Don’t Know 39%, tellingly). For a Prime Minister with a banking and financial/business background, and who was, not so long ago, Chancellor of the Exchequer, that is very much a thumbs-down.

The voters’ assessments of the characters of Sunak and Starmer are not so very different.

Sunak is assessed by only 8% as being “up to the job“, while only 12% assess him as even being “competent“. That’s damning. (Starmer’s equivalent ratings were 18% and 21%, scarcely a ringing endorsement, but still far better than Sunak).

Ashford’s poll figures, fed into Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] suggest a result of Labour MPs 513, Cons 71, LibDems 31, SNP 12, Greens 2, Plaid 3, Reform 0, Northern Irish 18.

Very very bad for the Conservative Party, but not quite existentially so..

On that basis, there would still be a considerable Con bloc of 71 MPs, and the Cons would still be the official Opposition, however ineffective.

My own feeling, whether it be right or wrong, is still that the Cons may be reduced to below 50 MPs, and that the LibDems may exceed that by default (tactical voting), thus making the LibDems the Opposition in the Commons.

If that were to occur, the defeat would be existential for the Cons. No “bright young” (mostly idiot) careerists (think Liz Truss, once upon a time…) would want to join, and big donors would not bother to pump money into funding the Cons. A “death spiral”, as people say.

Election date— Thursday 4 July 2024. Less than 5 weeks to go.

The American government seems to have lost, if not its mind, then any sense of perspective.

If Country A sells or, even worse, gives Country B arms and ammunition, and especially if that is with the express intent that Country B should attack the territory of Country C, then that is pretty close to being an act of war by Country A against Country C.

Stop this mad slide to a quite possible superpower nuclear war.

It is widely mooted that the combat-ready spearhead numbers no more than 30,000, if that. Maybe as low as 20,000. Plus about 5,000 Royal Marines under naval command. Plus 4,000 Gurkhas. Plus Reserves.

An impressive show. Is it any more than that?

I do not have enough information to guess accurately at the likely outcome of the U.S. Presidential Election, but peace would be better served were Trump to be re-installed at the White House, no matter what his personal deficiencies.

I publicly disagreed with the IHRA definition of antisemitism by reference to the arguments of Sir Stephen Sedley (on any view a hugely respected jurist) that it protects Israel from legitimate criticism.

That led to people publishing confidential and dangerously defamatory information about me. And lots more people publishing crude and dehumanising abuse of me. And grotesque accusations of antisemitism about me. And 4 years of litigation where a total wing-nut UK Lawyer for Israel tried to bankrupt me. And a trial where witnesses made untrue or wildly exaggerated statements to try to ruin my reputation.

In the end I won, but my experience confirms Lemoine’s argument. It was awful and exhausting and no doubt intended to be so. Ending people’s careers for agreeing with Lemoine’s reasonable point of view is wrong and dangerous.”

[James Wilson]

Stephen Sedley. I remember him. I appeared in front of him as Counsel sometime around 1994 when he was a High Court judge (he was later a Lord Justice of Appeal). It was a matter involving the Angolan secret service. Sedley had had some previous experience in dealing with Angolan matters: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Sedley#Career. He gave me a very courteous hearing before politely refusing my judicial review application…

Perhaps there isn’t any such thing as the Israel lobby. Perhaps Israel is the only country on the planet without dedicated lobbyists. Perhaps organisations like We Believe in Israel, the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre, and both the Labour and Conservative Friends of Israel, simply don’t exist.

Perhaps it’s simply untrue to say that people who are critical of Israel online, or supportive of Palestine, are bombarded by hostile replies from pro-Israel accounts.

Or perhaps, there’s a concerted effort by Israel’s advocates to warp and distort the definition of antisemitism to make it impossible to describe their activities. Was Faiza Shaheen wrong to apologise? I can understand why she did it. But nobody should have to apologise for liking a plain statement of fact.

Perhaps I imagined the evidence which clearly showed supporters of Israel working together to get information on me.

Perhaps I imagined them publishing confidential and dangerously defamatory information about me.

Perhaps I imagined lots more people publishing crude and dehumanising abuse of me. Perhaps I imagined the accusations of antisemitism about me.

Perhaps I imagined 4 years of litigation and the total wing-nut UK Lawyer for Israel trying to bankrupt me.

Perhaps I imagined the trial where supporters of Israel gave wildly exaggerated evidence to try to ruin my reputation.

Perhaps I imagined the judgment: https://bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/KB/2024/821.html.
