Interesting. We should always be willing to learn, even from those who are allied to those who may be our enemies.

Britain certainly needs to rethink its health and social care services, because the once-sainted NHS is now, to some extent at least, a kind of fairly basic skeleton service. Maladministration, and poor service, too often.

There has been criticism of that Israeli service, as seen above, though the criticism seems to be that the more Arab parts of the country are left out of the medical coverage.

Brussels has evidently changed in the 26 years since I was last there (I was last in Belgium, but elsewhere in the country, about 15 years ago).

That tweet by persecuted satirical singer-songwriter, Alison Chabloz, refers in part to “Slitherman”, aka Stephen Silverman, a liar and maker of false complaints to police etc, who is (self-styled) “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” at the malicious Jew-Zionist org, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, and who was revealed, years ago, and in open court, to have been an online troll who used the name “Bedlam Jones”, among others, in order to harass and alarm people, mainly women, online. Surprisingly (?), Silverman is even now sometimes invited to spout his Israel-oriented propaganda on BBC News, Sky News, Talk TV, and GB News.

Of course it is…but via cut-outs (wealthy UK-resident Jews). Might be hard to prove, though, without considerable persuasion…

It looks, increasingly, as if a perhaps neurotic young woman was sacrificed on the altar of the holy NHS, because the people must never suspect that their object of reverence is not so wonderful (much of the time; though sometimes it is), and that they are now paying out vast amounts in taxation for not very much (much of the time).

Otherwise, and with 99% certainty, this rotten old institution is going on the scrap heap of history where it belongs when the tables turn. If we are to have a King, it will be the people crowning the man who saves Britain from her current predicament. That man will be truly worthy of the throne, the greatest Briton that ever lived.”]

Sadly, Charles (whom I once met, and spoke with for a few minutes, at a diplomatic reception overseas) is a hugely overprivileged bien-pensant idiot when it comes to socio-political matters, and when I look at his offspring, the tame or not so tame thick princelings, I see nothing better.

The only positive thing about Charles, apart from his rather underwhelming or inconsistent support for the environment, is that his existence has saved us from the even worse prospect of a “King Andrew”. Had Charles been killed by an avalanche in the Alps a decade earlier than the one which nearly killed him (and which he and others caused: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Lindsay_(British_Army_officer)), we should have been saddled with “the Andrew formerly known as Prince” as Monarch…

Of course, Allison Pearson might be listened to more if she ditched her apparent support for the evil and malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”), a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy, in effect, and which is the worst anti-free-speech org in the country (see my own experiences, detailed above).

That brought to mind another Lucy— Lucy Letby. I have never claimed that Lucy Letby is either innocent or guilty of the crimes wherewith she was charged. I do not know, and have not much followed the case in any detail.

However, I did say on the blog, after she was convicted, that she seemed (from what little I had read in the msm) to have been found guilty on the basis of rather loose circumstantial evidence (which is not necessarily wrong, if that evidence is or was sufficiently probative).

Now I note that some fairly weighty opinions are saying that Lucy Letby might seriously be not only victim of a miscarriage of justice but actually innocent. I neither agree nor disagree. I have not looked at the matter in anything like enough detail. However, there lurks a feeling that, maybe, she is in prison without having actually done the crime(s).

The underlying reality is that the NHS is now largely a skeleton service, and those always loudly supporting it on ideological grounds, no matter what it does wrong, or fails to do right, are not serving either the NHS or the British public.

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/apr/05/peering-into-the-eyes-of-the-past-reconstruction-reveals-face-of-woman-who-lived-before-trojan-war

She lived 3,500 years ago โ€“ but facial reconstruction technology has brought a woman from late bronze age Mycenae back to life.

[“The digital reconstruction of a bronze age Mycenae woman. Photograph: Juanjo Ortega G.”]

The woman was in her mid-30s when she was buried in a royal cemetery between the 16th and 17th centuries BC. The site was uncovered in the 1950s on the Greek mainland at Mycenae, the legendary seat of Homerโ€™s King Agamemnon.

Dr Emily Hauser, the historian who commissioned the digital reconstruction, told the Observer: โ€œSheโ€™s incredibly modern. She took my breath away.

โ€œFor the first time, we are looking into the face of a woman from a kingdom associated with Helen of Troy โ€“ Helenโ€™s sister, Clytemnestra, was queen of Mycenae in legend โ€“ and from where the poet Homer imagined the Greeks of the Trojan war setting out. Such digital reconstructions persuade us that these were real people.โ€

Hauser, a senior lecturer in classics and ancient history at the University of Exeter, said: โ€œIt is incredibly exciting to think that, for the first time since she was laid beneath the ground over 3,500 years ago, we are able to gaze into the actual face of a bronze age royal woman โ€“ and it truly is a face to launch a thousand ships.

โ€œThis woman died around the beginning of the late bronze age, several hundred years before the supposed date of the Trojan war.โ€

A digital artist, Juanjo Ortega G, has developed the lifelike face from a clay reconstruction of the same woman that was made in the 1980s by Manchester University, pioneers of one of the major methods in facial reconstruction.

What is the Israeli/Jewish excuse this time?

In reality, everything that has been happening in all parts of occupied Palestine relates to the plan to settle immigrant Jews everywhere, then to expand Israeli Lebensraum and to create, over time, a “Greater Israel”:

Itโ€™s not hard to figure out why Reform is now surging in the polls.

Millions of hardworking, tax-paying, law-abiding people in this country are utterly frustrated & fed-up with the elite consensus that has been imposed on them from above for the last 30 years.

An elite consensus thatโ€™s defined by a deliberate and extreme policy of mass, uncontrolled immigration which is making us poorer not richer, is driving crime and ushering in millions of people from culturally inferior and incompatible nations.

An elite consensus thatโ€™s given us broken borders which make a mockery of our claim to be a self-governing, sovereign nation, are allowing an assortment of murderers, rapists and criminals onto our streets, and which our so-called โ€œleadersโ€ refuse to fix because theyโ€™re more interested in helping strangers than protecting their own citizens and children.

An elite consensus thatโ€™s ripped open our economy to a rampant and relentless globalisation that benefits an alliance of urban elites, global corporations and immigrant workers but which is smashing the working class apart and hollowing out our national economy.

And an elite consensus that would rather see Britain waste billions of ยฃยฃยฃ overseas each year on foreign aid and trying to maintain our failing asylum system than redirect all this money from British taxpayers into fixing Britain and helping British families before reaching out to the wider world.

For much of the last thirty years this broken consensus has been imposed on the Forgotten Majority in this country by both Left and Right, by both Labour and the Tories โ€”by the Uniparty. They are the architects of the disaster that you see around you today, of the managed decline of a once great and proud nation that you used to know and love but today no longer recognise.

And so just as youโ€™d never invite back an architect who took the home that had been loved for generations and destroyed it the people out there are now starting to reject the architects of what they see around them today โ€”endless, unavoidable, embarrassing, never-ending national decline.

They might not think Nigel Farage has all the answers. They might not think Reform is the perfect vessel. But what unites them is a feeling that is far more powerful than any one leader or party can convey. โ€œWe want our country backโ€.

This is why we are now starting to see wholesale and historic change in the national polls and, soon, the country. Because what I think we might be about to witness in British politics is not just a revolt against an out-of-touch elite minority but a full scale revolution against the Uniparty and all that it stands for.”

“โ€˜No medical evidenceโ€™ to support Lucy Letbyโ€™s conviction, expert panel finds.

Babies the former nurse Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering were in fact the victims of โ€œbad medical careโ€ or deteriorated as a result of natural causes, an expert panel has concluded.

Outlining what the senior Conservative MP David Davis described as โ€œone of worst injustices of recent timesโ€, the international team told a press conference there was โ€œno medical evidenceโ€ to support claims of deliberate harm.

A panel of experts, chaired by Dr Shoo Lee, examined the cases of 17 babies whom Letby was charged with murdering or harming at the Countess of Chester hospital in north-west England.

Lee, an emeritus professor at the University of Toronto, said said the 14 experts had found โ€œso many problems with the medical careโ€ of the babies and nothing to support the claim they were attacked. โ€œIn summary, ladies and gentlemen, we did not find any murders,โ€ he told a press conference in Westminster on Tuesday.”

[Guardian]

I personally have no fixed opinion at all on the matter (and have not read up on it in any great detail), but the way that the NHS now is, I do find it impossible to ignore the possibility that the unfortunate babies in question were not murdered but simply died as a result of poor care.

Also, if the Lucy Letby convictions turn out to have been unsafe, it would not be the first time that events triggering huge public anger will have also resulted in egregious miscarriages of justice.

David Davis has courage. He would have made a far better leader of the Conservative Party than any who actually were elected in the past 25-30 years.

Moscow has spent months preparing a strong defense against the current Ukrainian counter-offensive in the south. The use of drones has become more frequent and efficient; changed the tactics of using the Air Force, now successfully avoiding Ukrainian air defense at low altitudes; added guidance capabilities to old aerial bombs; moved deeper into the front and dispersed warehouses, equipment and command posts; began to better protect our own soldiers and equipment; improved electronic warfare; according to Western officials, it increases the production of tanks (from 100 to 200 per year) and artillery shells (from 1 to 2-3 million per year).

The part that strikes me the most is North Korea— 6,645 tanks. They can have only one purpose— to strike, in a massive armoured spearhead, southward, towards Seoul.

A few thoughts about the “lionesses”

I have very little interest in football or other organized mass spectator sports. I have, however, had a few oblique thoughts about the women’s football situation, and the so-called “lionesses” (England women’s football squad).

Though women’s football goes back about 100 years, it has never had the high profile of the men’s game. The same is true of women’s cricket and most other sports.

Now, however, in the UK and other countries too, you have to be lucky to avoid it in the msm. This has come about rather suddenly, and seems to be being promoted as the latest mass “experience”.

One mass “experience” (eg “Black Lives Matter”, “Ukraine”, “Covid” and so on) replaces another, in a never-ceasing chain.

The period 2022-2055 is one in which the transnational secret rulers of the “West” are pushing certain trends very hard: a multiracial mass population in Europe, North America, Australasia etc (as part of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan); globalism generally; globalized finance-capitalism; hostility to white Northern European people, culture, and way of life; “bio-security” (inc. microchip implants). “net zero” (inc. “15-minute cities”, anti-car campaign etc).

“LGBTQXYZ” too. It is noteworthy that a high proportion of women professional footballers seem to be lesbian, if the UK tabloid Press is correct.

Part of the transnational conspiracy seems to concentrate on the abolition of anything even resembling the traditional male/female binary. Thus the constant promotion of the “trans” nonsense, which has exploded in the West, mainly in the past few years. Thus one sees not only some female goalkeeper swearing loudly on pitch, but being widely acclaimed for displaying what until recently would have been described as “toxic male aggression”…

As said, I myself have little personal interest in mass spectator sports, and likewise no great objection to people (men or women) playing sports as they wish. My interest lies in what is behind phenomena such as the present promotion of the “lionesses” team etc.

I do not agree about removal of pensions (in this case or any case) but dismissals are probably in order.

The NHS principle of “free at point of use” is one that I support, but it is clear that the NHS has gone astray in many areas, particularly the whole administrative area.

Even today, you hear people claim that only the UK has proper free health care. In fact, many other countries do healthcare better, not least France, where hospital wards (as distinct from one or two-person rooms) are now almost unknown, and where care is often far better as well.

I knew an late middle-age/elderly couple in Brittany (when I lived there for several years). They both had serious health problems. The husband of that couple said that, on telling the equivalent of an NHS consultant what medications he had been on in the UK, the doctor had nodded and replied, “I think that we can do a little better than that“… Does that not speak volumes?

I might add that the couple in question, who lived quite near me in Finistere-Nord, about an hour’s drive, 43 miles or 69 km, from Brest (where the hospital was), used to be ferried by taxi (paid for by the health service) to and from that hospital. Imagine that on the NHS…

There has to be partly a step back (eg reinstating the Matron position in hospitals), and partly a step or two forward (in listening to patients and putting patients first), in the NHS.

At present, the NHS, like the police, the court system, the school system, the university system, the BBC, the Foreign Office (etc), and various other parts of UK society, is just not fulfilling its proper function much of the time.

There’s something very odd about changing speed limits to 20mph all over London (and Wales) at the same time as rolling out ULEZ in theory to reduce emissions. The evidence suggests that driving slower at 20mph *increases* toxic emissions...”

That is because (like ULEZ), the programme to get everyone driving at 20 mph is only superficially about fuel emissions. The real or hidden agenda is the “electric cars only” agenda.

What is the real agenda? First, stop the most polluting cars being allowed to drive, then stop all diesel/petrol cars, then only allow certain types of electric vehicle on the roads (at first in London and other large cities, then nationwide, and even in remote countryside).

Result? Most people unable to afford to buy cars or to drive at all. They will then have to travel on monitored and controlled public transport (facilitated by under-skin microchips, in the end), or stay corralled in “15-minute-cities” etc, which will develop into (again) highly monitored and controlled zones almost like open prisons, or somewhere between normal neighbourhoods and the latter.

Convenience and social pressure will tend to “nudge” acceptance of “the rules”. Many may find the new social order not too bad— lower crime, no commute, easy shopping etc. Those who do not easily accept the bridle may be sanctioned in various ways via what may develop into a Chinese-style “social credit” system of control.

The most staunch of dissidents will then be removed, and will no doubt suffer the penalties usually visited upon such people by totalitarian states.

As with the 2020-2021 “Covid” hysteria (now being tried on again…), there is at least one hidden agenda.
