Migration invasion

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14066809/Labour-civil-servants-572-migrants-cross-English-Channel-one-day.html

Labour‘s plan to smash the small boat gangs ‘won’t work’, Home Office insiders have claimed. 

Civil servants at the department are said to be ‘underwhelmed’ by the Government’s proposals to tackling Channel crossings and reducing illegal migration to the UK.

It comes as nine different boats carrying 572 migrants were intercepted crossing the Channel on Saturday.

[Daily Mail]

572. In a single day.

As previously noted, the hordes of unwanted migrant-invaders (both on “small boats” and otherwise, thousands daily) will collapse our society. When exactly that will happen is uncertain, but we see signs of it all around us now.

Talking point

I still see people on Twitter/X shouting loudly for “Scottish Independence”, but it is pretty clear that the wish to break away from the UK, i.e. from England, is waning north of the border.

I do not purport to know Scottish politics in detail but, to me, there was always something very odd about the “Indy” noise. For a start, how could Scotland really be “independent” in any meaningful way while (as the SNP and Alba parties wanted) it remained in, or returned to, the EU, maybe NATO too, and would still be under the Western finance-capital blanket (IMF, World Bank and the rest)? What does “independence” really mean, or look like?

The SNP/Alba idea of Independence always seemed to me rather old-fashioned somehow, a bit like Irish Home Rule and “Independence” in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Then there is the SNP and Alba idea that to be “Scottish” you either have to be born there, or maybe even just live there, like the black/brown immigrants they “welcomed” and continue to encourage. So they are saying that a Pakistani who was born in, or maybe just arrived in, Scotland, is closer to the (real) Scots than an Englishman in London (or even Berwick-upon-Tweed)? Mad.

The SNP is now going to plateau electorally, at best, after the Sturgeon financial scandals etc. Flash in the pan. A handful of Commons seats until 2015, a massive upsurge that year (56 out of 59), then a slight decline until the disaster of 2024 (9 out of 57). In local councils, the SNP has (from 2022) 453 out of 1,223. About a third. Not overly impressive. What will 2027 bring? I do not know, but I am guessing a significant fall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party.

As for Alba, it failed from the off, really. Even Alex Salmond could not propel it to escape velocity. Maybe his acquittal on sex charges (surely a perverse verdict, and probably obtained via Nat-supporters on the jury) still left stigma. Now that Salmond has died, Alba will just fade away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alba_Party.

I am tired of London, and Paris is not what it was 50 years ago, but I still prefer not to see those great cities destroyed by nuclear attack.

Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer and Macron have to accept that the Kiev regime is going to lose this war, quite possibly within the coming year.

Even the countryside, it has been decided, cannot be free of the ever-increasing numbers of blacks and browns…the real British people have to welcome those invaders and interlopers into every hitherto safe space.

IDF Air Force destroyed a hotel where Ivan Bunin, Charles De Gaulle and Albert Einstein stayed The Palmyra Hotel in Belbek is listed as one of Lebanon’s major historical sites. It was built in 1874.

Saturday quiz

A modest 4/10 this week, though still enough to beat political journalist John Rentoul, who scored only 2/10 (he awarded himself another half-point for knowing the general region of question 4). I knew the answers to questions 2, 4, 8, and 10. I think I knew no.1 (still unsure) as well, and should have got no. 9 too, had I thought longer, but decline to give myself either of those.

Two of the world’s most notorious and ominous mystics reportedly made the same exact prediction for 2025.

Both Nostradamus and Baba Vanga claim that there will be a deadly war in Europe next year.

I cannot say that I have much confidence in the accuracy of any of the (supposed) predictions made (read the full feature), but the way the idea of war with Russia is being promoted (mainly by “the usual suspects”) makes me unsettled.

If it is true that Israel attacked Teheran and that Russian-supplied air defences protected the city, that might be a gamechanger in terms of Israeli capabilities. If it is all true.

Times past

I do not at all keep up with the changes in the legal landscape, and so it happened that I was surprised yesterday to read that Blackfriars Crown Court closed down in 2019. I appeared there as Counsel a couple of times sometime around 1994.

https://www.ft.com/content/e1118f5d-8333-4261-be24-e8372191953e (worth reading, and with very good illustrations).

[Blackfriars Crown Court, London SE1]

The Financial Times report mentions that 43% of courts in England and Wales were closed to save money, by decision of the government of David Cameron-Levita, after 2010. I was aware of some of them, having myself appeared in them. Ilford County Court, Penzance County Court, Launceston Magistrates’ Court —a court building more like a deserted mausoleum even when I was there, once only, in (?) 2004, on a County Court civil case relocated there from Plymouth County Court for hearing—; Trowbridge County Court. Some other courts too.

I vaguely recall being sent in 1993 to do some trivial criminal matter at Blackfriars Crown Court, a “Mention”, I think (they usually take a matter of minutes, once you are there and being heard).

With typical contemporary stupidity, the new Blackfriars Crown Court had been temporarily designated as “Knightsbridge Crown Court (sitting at Blackfriars Crown Court)“. The brief had been marked simply “In the Knightsbridge Crown Court“. What a wonderful waste of my time…so I initially went to the court I knew as Knightsbridge Crown Court, in Hans Crescent, near Harrods, only to find that that court building was under repair (prior to being sold and repurposed).

Even more stupidly, Blackfriars Crown Court was not in the Blackfriars area on the north bank of the Thames anyway, but down an obscure side street on the south side of the river. Apparently named thus because Blackfriars Road is nearby. What idiots are employed to make such decisions?

Anyway, it seems that, after all the money spent building and equipping the court building, it was used as a trial venue for only 26 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackfriars_Crown_Court.

So now there is neither a Knightsbridge Crown Court nor a Blackfriars Crown Court.

The whole set of assumptions there is absolutely cuckoo.

No, the British armed forces would have no chance at all of repelling an invasion from, say, the German armed forces as they were in 1940, or the Soviet armed forces as they were circa 1975. Certainly not from the Chinese armed forces, should they somehow gather in Northern France in 2024.

The elephant in the room here, of course, is that the above scenarii are simply not the case. China has no plan to attack Western Europe (inc. UK), the Soviet Union ceased to exist decades ago, and Russia now not only has no intention or wish to invade the UK, but no capability to do so, looking at its less than impressive performance in Ukraine.

As for Germany, the Germany of today is not that of 1940, has no interest in invading the UK, and its armed forces are a tiny fraction of the size of those commanded by Hitler (who anyway had no serious intention of invading the UK even in 1940).

Neither do France or Spain, or the Netherlands, historical would-be invaders of England, have any interest at all in invading this country.

Who, then, is this Labour Party military genius, warning us about invasion? Oh, it is one John Healey, a one-time scribbler (for a year), disability rights campaigner (for 6 years) and then a campaigner for a trade union, and also a p/t Open University lecturer. No military experience, of course, unless you include his 4 years as Shadow Defence Secretary and now Defence Secretary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Healey; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Healey#Shadow_cabinet.

The only “invasion” happening, which the present government, like the last one, seems powerless to stop, is the worst kind—migration-invasion of the UK by non-Europeans.

Every year, between a half-million and million invaders are arriving in this country: “small boat” illegals, “asylum seekers”, “fiances” and “fiancees”, “work visa holders”, “student visa holders”, “family members” etc. Plus births to non-whites already in the UK.

What is “Field Marshal” (or is that “field mouse”?) Healey going to do about the one invasion that is not only the only one likely to happen, but the only one actually happening? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Pathetic puppet of the Israel lobby.

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/oct/25/man-jailed-blinding-sodium-hydroxide-jivan-dean-raven-riley-wales

A man who blinded an acquaintance with a corrosive liquid at an eco-village has been jailed for 15 years.

Jivan Dean, 24, attacked Raven Riley, 21, with sodium hydroxide – an alkaline also known as caustic soda – in a jealous rage after wrongly believing he had contacted his girlfriend.

Dean was seen heating a liquid in a pan on a hob before hurling it in the face of Riley while he was sitting in a chair at a property in Tipi Valley in Carmarthenshire.

Passing sentence at Swansea crown court, Judge Geraint Walters said Dean was dangerous and passed an extended sentence of 15 years in custody with a further four years on licence.”

Such crimes were very rare here until the mass immigration catastrophe happened. In the instant case, the perpetrator is obviously part-Chinese.

Demonstrations and marches against the madness are OK, but will not, alone, achieve concrete results. In the present conditions of repression of free speech, I prefer to say no more, as yet.

It is clear, though, that the madness cannot continue indefinitely. At some point, this million a year influx (the “small boats” being only a few percent of all immigration) will cause UK society to fall apart.

The Commonwealth is largely a waste of time and money, and always was. A replacement of lesser binding than the Empire, to some extent a consolation for the Monarch (notably, of course, the late Queen): no longer an Empress or Emperor, but still “Head of the Commonwealth”.

The Arabs are mostly gagging to become part of “the West”— surely that is obvious. The only thing that impedes such a development is the existence of the Israeli state. Were the USA to stop supporting Israel, a huge reset of the region would be possible.

Iran, Muslim but not Arab, might be the exception, but would probably come to terms.

Ukraine may have to give up its territories in order to end the war with Russia, said the candidate for US vice president from the Republican Party, J. D. Vance. “The Ukrainians are going to have to make that decision … They’re already too exhausted,” Vance said on News Nation. According to him, such ideas are already appearing in conversations with Ukrainian officials, especially in private discussions. “They’re starting to talk about it now.” They say this can’t last forever. They don’t have people, they don’t have weapons, they don’t have money,” Vance added.”

Disagreements in the West over Ukraine’s attacks on Russia

The possible use of Western long-range weapons to strike deep in Russian territory has become a point of contention among Kiev’s Western allies, writes “Bloomberg” citing sources. “

The main concern of many is a direct conflict with Russia, and that is why they are cautious in making this decision, as well as the possible entry of Ukraine into NATO in the near future ,” the agency adds.”

Ukraine cannot join NATO except as a fig-leaf for further attacks on Russia. A good tenth if not a fifth of its pre-2014 territory is now occupied by Russian forces and being administered as a part of the Russian Federation. Its economy is on the floor and only being propped up by Western aid of all sorts. Much of the pre-2014 population is either under Russian rule or has left for other countries. It also faces demographic extinction— the birth rate is far from being high enough to keep the population numbers stable.

Still, good to see that not all Western statesmen are crazies desperate to trigger a third world war.

Macron was, quite precisely, installed as President of France: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/.

Carol Vorderman seems to be unaware of the fact that the only reason anyone voted LibDem at GE 2024 was because that voter lived in a constituency where people preferred to vote LibDem by default, not wanting to vote Lab or Con. Not a positive vote or even a negative one, but a “dustbin” one.

The LibDems may have 72 MPs now, by reason of being the “dustbin” choice, but they received fewer votes by far than Reform UK, which however won only 5 MPs. The electoral system of this country is as broken as everything else.

In other words, he seems to have served (so far) only 7 months and will be released once he has served 40% of the notional 3 years, so about 14 months in all, meaning, at latest, by next April (2025).

The Daily Mail report says that his release may be “imminent”. Why that may be, I do not know. He may have spent some time on remand in prison prior to trial.

One of followers has written to me in the outrageous cost to the taxpayer looking after so-called refugees. “David, my mate works for a Scottish City Council. His job is to clear flats & refurbish them every time a migrant family moves in. “Irrespective of that family being in that flat temporarily for 2weeks or 6mths, the flat is completely gutted every single time, redecorated & EVERYTHING is replaced. New carpets, beds, towels, kitchen, TVs, sofas even cutlery, mugs & plates. “You name it, it’s brand new every time and the ‘old stuff’ is simply dumped as they are not allowed to reuse or sell it. He says it averages about £7k-£10k every time each flat- the “record” was £24k for a family of 6. “His colleagues take a lot to the Salvation Army instead of the dump & sell some of it for themselves because there is simply so much. “He’s had several PS4s and iPads unused, still in the box untouched, which they give to charity, hand to local kids or save for Christmas donations. “He got caught giving an unused microwave & a kettle to an elderly neighbour two months ago & was put in front of a disciplinary panel. Given an official written final warning but that hasn’t stopped him. “Look no further for evidence that migrants come first ahead of UK pensioners. “Please don’t use my name nor my Twitter name as I will be identified.”

Zelensky’s press-gangs hard at work finding victims recruits.

Only last week, the Chief of SIS/MI6 declared in the UK that Ukrainians “have the will to fight“. Britain has many pressing needs and many institutions requiring reform and, as far as I can see, the intelligence and security services are numbered among those broken institutions.

Incidentally, look at that victim recruit— at least 45, maybe even 55. Most countries draft 18-y-o persons first, and exempt anyone over about 40, or only put the middle-aged servicemen or reservists on rear-echelon duties such as guarding bridges or patrolling streets far from the front-line. I have wondered why the Kiev regime is so different. It may be that the birth-rate is so low that the Kiev regime wants to minimize the loss of potential fathers. Ukraine is threatened with demographic extinction.

My own recent thoughts on the “9/11” topic can be found on my blog post of 11 September 2024: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/09/11/diary-blog-11-september-2024-including-reminiscence-about-the-9-11-attack-in-2001/.

The Editor of the Jewish Chronicle, Jake Wallis Simons, a half-Jew, was at one time a news editor at the Daily Mail, and presided over part of the “storm-in-a-teacup” that followed my politically-procured disbarment of late 2016.

The complaint against me to the Bar Standards Board was nominally signed-off by an old Jew barrister (of whom I had not previously heard), part of “UK Lawyers for Israel”. The “Campaign Against Antisemitism” was also involved in some way (the memberships and support cadres overlap to some extent).

The Daily Mail devoted a whole page to me at that time.

Wikipedia puts that circulation figure at 12,000 (as of 2023), so 5,000 is possible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jewish_Chronicle.

One of those involved with the Jewish Chronicle ownership has been sex-pest depressive and former MP John Woodcock, now posing as a member of the House of Lords (sub nom “Lord Walney”). He himself has no money to speak of, so what is the source of the funding?

BBC Question Time is a show so biased, and serving a System agenda, that it would not have been out of place in the Soviet Union. Look at what happened to Nick Griffin about 14 years ago. A complete and rigged lynching.

There should be a massive purge of the cultural sector generally.

Tom Harwood is a horrible little bastard. A typical “knows the price of everything and the value of nothing” careerist.

Yes, they will take “just” 1% of the Green Belt…at first. That covers a year or two of the “need” for new “homes”. A couple of years later, with another 1M+ immigrants to house, guess what? Another 1% (or more) of the Green Belt will be “needed”. And so on…

All that will feed money to housebuilding giants and banks and, down the line, to organizations such as GB News, and to talking heads such as Tom Harwood.

As tweeted there, “Labour” has no, or no effective, plan, because (just like the “Conservatives”) they want more immigration. Evil. Treacherous. Coudenhove-Kalergi puppets.

Ha ha! The face of that silly woman (as seen in the clip) was a picture! Veritas omnia vincit

The consumption of material resources using the photovoltaic technology is at least 64 times that of nuclear energy. For the production of the solar-grade silicon for one square meter of panel area it requires 3.5 kg of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The weight of concrete, steel and chemicals used, such as acids/ bases, etchants, elemental gases, dopants, photolithographic chemicals etc. are never included. PV technology is more than 7 times more labor intensive than other energy sources. They never include disposing of the worn out panels, recycling copper wiring etc. after solar farms have reached end of life. So when they tell you solar makes back the energy used to build and maintain them in X amount of time, they are actually lying to you.”

Interesting, nicht wahr, that all these supposed imperative “needs”, such as concreting over the English countryside to provide “homes” (mostly for migrant-invaders), or creating massive solar farms in the countryside or, indeed, creating fake “vaccines” and the “need” for this, that, or the other anti-“pandemic” equipment and services, always seem to mean massive profit for greedy landowners, farmers, giant companies, the mass media organizations etc?

GE 2024 may be nailed on for Labour, but there is everything still to play for in respect of Reform UK; also, in terms of really wiping out (or not) the totally useless “Conservative” Party. Still 4 days or so to go before the campaign is at an end. About a fifth of eligible voters are still unsure whether to bother voting, and/or where to place their cross.

If Reform UK only gets about 15% or 16% across the board, then that will be underwhelming, though it should sink the Conservative Party. In that event, Reform would probably get only one or two MPs. If, on the other hand, Reform can get about 23%, then it might end up with 50+ MPs, and the map of British politics will have been irrevocably changed.

James Whale [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Whale_(radio_presenter)] and his co-host (who he?) are just two Israel-lobby monkeys-on-sticks at the bad-joke Talk Radio/Talk TV, which hardly anyone sees or hears.

Talk TV, one of the Murdoch assets, was one of the few msm outlets to report on my free speech trial sentencing hearing. It managed to get the sentence completely wrong, stating that I had been “jailed“!

That interviewee was right. Talk TV/Talk Radio are indeed “clowns“.

The mass media are under (((control))), just as the entire political system is monitored and controlled. Once even a mild-ish small-c conservative party such as Reform UK starts to become popular with the masses, the control starts to become more heavy-handed. It is pretty blatant.

What other party could do this in the Britain of 2024? Brexit Party did it, on a smaller scale, but Farage stabbed it in the back. This time, he obviously plans to take it to the end (Election Day).

Like the end of the 1934 Nuremberg rally, but without a proper social-national party, movement, ideology, or leader.

Still, if it destroys at least half of the “two main parties” scam, and moves the “Overton Window” a bit (or a lot), I am relatively happy…

Incidentally, if you do not see the (superficial) parallel to 1934 Nuremberg, see the video below [at/from 1hr 30 mins]

Well, it is a start…

With the IFS questioning how Labour and the Tories are going to fund their manifesto pledges, the public are similarly sceptical: % who think each party’s promises are…

Realistic / Unrealistic Con promises: 14% / 62% Lab promises: 25% / 47%

Good for Britain / Bad for Britain Con promises: 22%/ 52% Lab promises: 37% / 35%.”

Incredibly, the Cons are seen as worse on all those questions.

In 2015 I met this Palestinian farmer, Abdel-Majeed, on the West Bank. Israeli settlers were attacking him and stealing his land, and I thought the situation was about as bad as it could get. No, it has gotten much worse.

I revisited him last week, during a week-long trip through Israel and the West Bank, and I found that settlers have burned his cars and destroyed his tractor. They have cut down his olive trees and set his sheep shed on fire. They tried to break into his house when his granddaughter was home.

We are about to enter the era of the “Far right.” Kids are going to be taught to read rather than imagine they are born in the wrong body. Being white skinned won’t be a mark of the devil. TV and film will be about plot and casting rather than how many non binary lesbian people of colour and girth you can cram into a drama. We will stop worshipping the sun god and perhaps take some time to get to know the actual one. Victimhood will be frowned upon. Health services will be expected to stop dancing for TikTok and do what they are paid to do. The police will be asked to get off their knees and regain public trust again. Fear will be replaced by hope. It’s going to be much nicer than the woke period, where men had periods. The homophobic trans crap will be done. Content of character will matter more than colour of skin. It’s going to be good. And to those of you who don’t like it. Tough. We have had enough.”

For once, I agree with everything Fox has written.

Whatever one may have thought about Sinn Fein and its military wing (the IRA) in the past, at least it was an honest and clear expression of political will. Now, it has become not dissimilar to the other fake Celtic “national” parties such as the SNP and Plaid Cymru, in other words a farrago of “anti-racism”, “anti-sexism”, pro-mass immigration, hostile to any true expression of European culture. Result? Most Irish people have turned against it, and those who are still voting for Sinn Fein are doing so mostly for reasons of misguided nostalgia, it seems.

Again, for once (?) I agree with what Jayda Fransen says here. Farage is indeed a System stooge, but sometimes things have to work out in particular, and sometimes unexpected, ways.

Yes, Farage and Reform UK are not social-national and, yes, the existence of Reform UK is blocking the emergence of anything new that is social-national.

Reform UK is channelling popular discontent into “safe” “Parliamentary road” diversions, but at the same time the existence of Reform UK —and the hoo-ha around it— is moving the “Overton Window”, changing the public’s idea of what might be possible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window.

Also, it is to be hoped that Reform UK will help to destroy the now useless and hopeless Conservative Party, and thus destabilize the existing rigged System which depends upon the illusion of a basically binary “choice”.

Faragist diversion (UKIP) did destroy the rise of the BNP under Nick Griffin in and after 2005, and especially after 2009.

2024 is not 2015, when UKIP got 12% of the national vote but no seats. Why? Because the governing party, the Conservatives, were still riding fairly high in 2015. This year, the Conservative Party looks all but washed-up.

That may or may not mean that Reform UK gets Commons seats, but it does mean that a large number of Con seats are going to be lost because 10% or 15% of people, maybe even 20%, are going to vote Reform. That does also mean that Labour will thereby benefit, but most voters for Reform UK will be willing to accept that as the price for both destroying the Conservative Party and making a loud protest.

I have previously mooted, on the blog, the idea that there may be a bloc of “secret” Reform UK supporters who will not reveal, even to polling staff, their potential General Election voting intention.

I do not know whether such a bloc exists, or how large it is if it exists, but if it does indeed exist in any but marginal size, it could be a gamechanger.

Reform UK has been polling between 13% and around 17% recently. If the “secret” Reform voters exist and number the equivalent of one-tenth of the known Reform voters, then the Reform vote might be anywhere between 14% and 19%. Add on the possibility of polling errors, and that might result in anything from 12% to 21%. We shall only know for sure on and after 4 July. Three weeks and three days from today.

An intention to vote Reform UK perhaps has not the level of what might be called “socio-political embarrassment” (for people living in a conformist situation) that an intention to vote, say, BNP or National Front used to have, but I think that the constant Matthew Parris-style “oh my goodness, look at those hillbillies!” msm propaganda directed against the “left behind” areas (such as Clacton), and against so-called “racism” etc makes some people both reticent in expressing their anger at what has happened and is happening but, at the same time, more determined to do something about the situation, such as voting in a way not approved by the System puppets, the scribblers, the talking heads etc.

Jewish. Of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Klein. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Klein#Family.

Remarkable: I even agree with Tim Stanley today. Stars or planets must be in some unusual configuration.

As for that “Conservative” nonentity (apparently one Andrew Browne: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Browne_(politician)), I am not sure that I had even heard of him until today.

Browne has already jumped ship and is not standing for re-election in the redrawn seat [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Cambridgeshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s], which seat may well fall to the LibDems if there is enough tactical voting, but has decided to stand in the new and neighbouring seat of St. Neots and Mid-Cambridgeshire [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Neots_and_Mid_Cambridgeshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)].

Browne seems to be saying there that the Conservative Party will do OK in the election because it always did, in elections since 1945. How do people with such limited mentality ever become MPs, well-paid journalists (as he was) etc?

As for his assertion that the present-day Conservative Party embodies “small-c conservative values“, hardy ha ha… Look at what it has done in the past 14 years alone.

Tim Stanley was right to state that “the [Conservative party] brand is…gone” and that no-one even likes the Conservative Party any more. Also, that Starmer is “not socialist” (and, he added, is therefore not the frightening figure the Cons pretend). I tend to think that Starmer is alarming, but not because he is in any way “socialist”. Just that Israel-lobby and Jewish-lobby repression comes naturally to him.

As I blogged three days ago, I do not really blame Sunak for not giving a tinker’s cuss about the Normandy Landings commemoration. After all, the bastard is not really British, is only (posing as) Prime Minister until 4 July 2024, about three weeks from now, and is (as I blogged) part of a transilient bloc of cosmopolitan wealthy Indians who are not rooted in the UK, or even in India, and whose natural (temporary) home is in places such as Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, Westchester etc.

The reason is obvious. VAT raises a huge amount of money, and does so from everyone in the country, from the rich, the affluent, the less affluent, and the downright poor. The only way for an individual to avoid paying it is to be gifted the goods or services in question or (in the case of goods) to steal them.

Naturally, the wealthy prefer VAT to income tax, or capital gains tax.

While they’re losing support to Labour and Reform, they’re also now losing an even larger number of their 2019 voters to something else — apathy.

Many people in Britain are simply giving up on politics, no longer convinced any of the big parties can fix the big problems facing the country. And this is especially true for people who voted Conservative at the last election.

Most of the people who have abandoned the Tories in recent months have not gone to Labour or Reform. Instead, they now say they will not vote at all, do not know who to support, or simply refuse to answer the question from pollsters. And the number who now say this is not small. About one in three of them now say this.

[Matt Goodwin on Substack].

One in three” of those who have stopped intending to vote Conservative during 2024 adds up to about, very roughly, a third of a half, i.e. about 1/6th of the whole electorate that voted in 2019 (67.3% turnout), so —again very roughly— about 1/9th of the whole eligible electorate. Call it just over 10%. Of those who would prefer to vote, maybe 15%.

Very speculative, I admit, but there is no doubt that many are anyway in that “politically homeless” position. Anecdotally, I have heard people say it, and heard them say it of others. It is a widespread phenomenon, no matter what may be the exact numbers.

An “error“? No. Deliberate importation of non-Europeans into Europe, including the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

Electoral Calculus may not be infallible, but —by my use of it— those figures give the Cons only 21 seats in the Commons (Lab 538, LibDems 55, Reform 1, Green 1, Plaid Cymru 4, and the SNP a mere 12).

Others calculate a Con bloc of 24 MPs. Whatever.

Effectively the end of the Conservative Party as it now is, if accurate.

As I guessed some time ago, the Cons are really only supported now by “habit-voters”, those who have all their lives turned out to vote Con, no matter what, no matter even how they themselves benefit or not. They are almost all now aged in their 80s and 90s.

Interesting to see all age groups from 18 to (?) 70 starting to look for radical and maybe (soon) social-national alternatives.

Fraser was born to a Jewish father and a Christian mother and was circumcised according to Jewish tradition.[5]

Fraser…has lectured on moral leadership for the British Army at the Defence Academy at Shrivenham.

DNA is ingrained. People can change their views, but not their DNA.

The modern “bread and circuses”.

I recall seeing the Australian TV series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo a few times after my family moved to Sydney in 1967 (I was 10 at the time). The show was on TV from early 1968.

TV shows and films such as Skippy may seem like sentimental rubbish to some people, and to some extent they may be, but there are innumerable examples of the intelligence and capabilities of our animal friends. Some such stories become famous, others are either unknown or are known only to the few people directly involved.

Something of the sort will eventually have to come to the UK.

Interesting. I have been to Famagusta (now in Turkish-ruled Northern Cyprus), but some years ago, in fact many years ago— January 2000. I did not see the ruins of the Varosha resort, though. That is a mile south of the main town, I think.

When I drove to Famagusta (from Kyrenia), the ruins of its ancient heritage were deserted. My then girlfriend and I were alone there. There were not even any people selling postcards or the like. Even the more modern parts of the town were far from busy. That was 24 years ago, though. Things change, of course. I think that there has been quite a lot of development in some areas.

I rather liked Northern Cyprus. Relaxed and, in 2000 at least, with relatively few tourists, and really none once you left Kyrenia (officially, now, Girne). A little cold at night (in January) but warm-ish during the day, usually, and with numerous interesting ancient sites (which one shared with no other people at all) set amid orange groves. I even had a rather bracing swim off a deserted beach, but it was no colder in the water than it is in the UK in summer, and the sun was shining.

I drove one day from Kyrenia right the way down the Karpas Peninsula [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpas_Peninsula] to the eastern end. At that point, you are only 60 miles across the Eastern Mediterranean from Latakia in Syria.

General Election 2024— Clacton

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/tories-clacton-voters-nigel-farage-reform

In a straw poll of veterans, Farage’s campaign message seemed to be getting through.

Jason Stewart was in a green beret and a biker jacket studded with medals; after a long career in the Royal Marines, he “thought it was time to get out after I was blown up twice in one day in Afghanistan”.

He offers a version of an argument heard all day. “The two main parties look both the same to me,” he says. “The Tories don’t care about us. And Labour say they will reopen prosecutions of soldiers who served [in the Troubles] so that’s a no-no. Farage and Reform seem like the only option.”

Up the road, meanwhile, opposite McDonald’s, there was an alternative display of army jeeps and vehicles alongside veterans in fatigues. The display was organised by David Bye and his partner, Linda Hazelton, who run a charity delivering homemade pie and mash to needy veterans around the town. Bye had a one-to-one chat with Farage when he visited and claims he was given certain commitments, which will remain between them.

He grew up here; he remembers earning pocket money as a kid running tourist luggage down busy streets to Butlin’s. It’s been a long decline, he says, since the holiday camp went. “I thought I’d seen it all,” he says. “But the other morning I saw a long queue of blokes on bikes waiting for McDonald’s to open. They were collecting takeaways for people who couldn’t be bothered to make breakfast for their kids.

“I don’t know where you start with some of that,” he suggests. “But I think Nigel gets it.

The place holds symbolic relevance to Farage. Exactly a decade ago, under his Ukip brand, a meeting here paved the way for that party’s only Westminster election success, for Douglas Carswell. If you were to define the moment that Brexit became a possibility, and then a reality, you might begin there. Nine hundred people showed up, many of whom had not previously taken any interest in national politics. In the course of their populist pitch, Carswell and Farage quoted liberally from a Times newspaper column the previous week written by Matthew Parris.

Looking back at that column a decade on, you can see in it all the faultlines that were exposed and exploited so cynically by Farage and Brexit, the roots of the crisis that threatens to destroy the Conservative party in this election (a humiliation from which Farage, inevitably, hopes to benefit).

Parris, in his waspish style, on a visit to Clacton in 2014, had declared its irrelevance to modern Conservatism: “This is tracksuit-and-trainers Britain, tattoo-parlour Britain, all-our-yesterdays Britain,” he wrote. He asked his party a question which would now get a very different answer: “Is this where the Conservative party wants to be? [Or] do we need to be with the Britain that can admire immigrants and want them with us, that doesn’t want to spend its days buying scratchcards?

Parris insisted that he was not “arguing that we should be careless of the needs of struggling people and places such as Clacton. But I am arguing – if I am honest – that we should be careless of their opinions.

Farage could not have scripted a better scene for himself than the spectacle of a Tory prime minister leaving the D-day celebrations early. Tragically, as this week is proving, the forces that made his bleak and divisive message relevant in 2014 have not gone away, and in the weeks to come you suspect that Westminster political parties will still ignore Clacton at their peril.”

[The Guardian].

Not once does the full article mention the fact that the person presently posing as PM is “unelected” (at least, unvalidated by a General Election) and a little Indian money-juggler; but there you are…”The Guardian”…

Interesting, though, all the same. I think that Farage has every chance of being elected at Clacton. The only reason that the Conservative Party candidate Giles Watling (MP since 2017, a long-retired actor, and a member of the Garrick Club, who lives at Frinton, the more expensive part of the constituency) got over 70% of the vote in 2019 is because his political stance is akin to that of UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform UK anyway.

Watling came second, behind ex-Conservative Douglas Carswell (for UKIP) both at the 2014 by-election and the 2015 General Election, and only won in 2017 because Carswell stood down. Having said that, Watling did get 36.7% in 2015, only about 8 points behind Carswell.

While the election at Clacton might yet be close, Farage has every chance now. Labour and other parties are spectators at Clacton. Labour’s best was 25.4% (in 2017, when the Cons got over 60%).

Interestingly, that 2017 Labour candidate, Natasha Osben, is now, in 2024, the Green Party candidate. Starmer is really not very popular even within the Labour —or recently Labour— ranks.

Will Labour voters vote tactically? If so, for Reform UK or for the Conservative Party? My money is on Reform UK.

Tactical voting

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/i-want-labour-to-come-into-power-so-im-voting-lib-dem-tactical-voting-threatens-blue-wall-tories

Alarmingly for Conservative HQ, many polling experts believe the conditions are ripe for a repeat of 1997, when tactical voting benefited Labour and the Lib Dems and cost the Tories dozens of seats, most notably the toppling of Michael Portillo in Enfield Southgate. This time, Shapps is among the big beasts who could suffer their own polling night infamy.

Tactical efforts came to little at the last election. Hopes among pro-Remain campaigners of an anti-Brexit tactical vote were dashed as Boris Johnson won an 80-strong majority. But conditions have changed. Peter Kellner, the veteran pollster, wrote in the Observer before the 1997 election that while he detected little “positive enthusiasm” for Labour, an electorate with “a burning desire to end 18 years of Tory rule” made for receptive tactical voting conditions. He believes similar ingredients are present today.

While the net effects of tactical voting are hard to calculate, the Liberal Democrats could gain 10-20 extra seats through anti-Conservative tactical voting, according to an analysis by the Electoral Calculus consultancy. Meanwhile, with the added help of Nigel Farage and Reform UK, the tactical dynamic could push Labour closer in another swathe of previously safe Tory seats.

Conservative losses

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/from-humiliation-to-annihilation-could-this-election-mean-the-end-of-the-tory-party-as-we-know-it

Writing in the Observer, Rob Ford, a leading expert on voting intention and trends, says the evidence from polls shows that “an electoral asteroid is streaking through the atmosphere” and is heading for the Tory heartlands. Ford no longer thinks it impossible that the Conservatives could end up with less than 100 seats, so badly is their campaign misfiring and so much trust have they lost over 14 years and the tenures of five prime ministers.

Other polling experts say that such is the geographical spread of the Tory vote, and the brutal nature of the first past the post system, that once their vote drops into the low 20% region, the number of seats could fall into double digits – and could go as low as 20.

[Observer/Guardian]

I have speculated for quite a while that the Con vote might go low enough nationwide to leave the Cons with as few as 50 MPs. Perhaps I was right (I sometimes am…).

Quite right.

Entitled self-seeking political hog Emily Thornberry, who only became “Labour” in the first place after her highly-paid UN-working father deserted her and her mother, abandoning his wife and daughter, and resulting in their having to relocate to a council house. She is motivated by malice and early spite and/or envy.

Emily Thornberry and her husband (a retired High Court judge) are buy-to-let parasites, incidentally; I believe that I read that they own, or used to own, at least 8 buy-to-let properties. Pro-Israel, too.

The Conservative Party now deserves to be not only removed from government, and preferably entirely wiped out, but do not imagine that fake “Labour” will be much if at all better. Look at its leaders and major influencers: Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall. All members of Labour Friends of Israel. All self-seeking moneygrubbers too.

Emily Thornberry slightly reminds me of Mrs Mossberg, a fat, short and jolly Jewish primary school teacher, usually —in my memory— dressed in a long dark-brown mink coat; I knew her circa 1962, when about 5 or 6 years old and a pupil at Caversham Primary School near Reading. Mrs Mossberg, though, was far more pleasant than Emily Thornberry seems to be.

In retrospect, I wonder why Mrs Mossberg ever bothered to be a teacher, which I doubt paid much. She lived not far from my family, a few roads away, in a large detached house. The main reception room, which I saw at least once, seemed enormous to the 5-y-o me, and it had a large grand piano in it. Maybe she just enjoyed teaching.

The last tweeter says that Emily Thornberry owns 4 properties; I thought I read 8 somewhere.

The first tweet confirms what I have been blogging re. Clacton. It is between Reform UK (Farage) and the Cons (Giles Watling). Labour has no chance at all, but Labour voters in Clacton can be the kingmakers. Their votes can swing it, either for Reform or for the Cons.

Even if the second tweet is accurate, and it may not be, voters can still give the Cons a mighty and historic kick by voting Reform UK and thus preventing the Conservative Party from thriving, or even surviving.

The very fact that such a grassroots campaign is even necessary shows how sick society has become.

Refers to Robert Largan, the Israel-puppet and Jewish-lobby puppet who is desperately trying to keep his Commons seat at High Peak (Derbyshire), with its good pay and better expenses and perks, but he really has no chance. Make him get a real job.

“National Service”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13462137/rishi-sunak-national-service-open-doors-teenagers-university.html

Under the [“National Service”] plan, 18-year-olds will be given a choice between a full-time placement in the Armed Forces for 12 months or spending one weekend a month for a year [doing community work].

The Tories would also encourage employers to consider those who complete the Armed Forces placement during job applications.

However, the Armed Forces option would be selective – with only around 30,000 placements for ‘the brightest and best’.”

[Daily Mail]

So Sunak’s cockeyed “plan” for conscription turns out to be mainly a plan to have untrained 18-y-o young men and, I presume, women doing a kind of forced labour on one weekend per month for a year. Even by Sunak’s standards, this is pretty silly.

For one thing, the time is unbalanced. Leaving aside any Army/Navy leave or liberty days, it means that those choosing and being selected for the military or naval option will spend 365 days serving. The “civilian” option, though, will only take up 24 days.

Guess which option most young people are going to choose?

Even if you take off maybe 125 liberty days or leave days from the 365, that still only reduces to about 240 days on duty, as against 24. Ten times the commitment.

The idea that employers will give the “military/naval option” cadets an easier ride in later civilian job recruitment could not be enforced and relies entirely on goodwill.

In fact, the year of service (in either case) will set back the cadets or National Service litter-pickers for a year, especially the military/naval cadets, except those planning a Service career anyway.

As for the rest, spending one weekend a month picking up litter, helping clean hospitals, or planting trees, might not be a huge commitment of time, but will be seen by most as a kind of slave or serf labour, even if remunerated or compensated at say £150 per weekend (I have seen nothing so far, though, about any remuneration).

I suppose that, if the 30,000 military/naval cadets were offered pay (£15,000 p.a.?) and a gratuity, on completion, of some not-trifling amount (say £12,000 in cash, taxfree), that might spark some interest.

Over 700,000 or so people turn 18 every year in the UK. That means that 670,000+ will be on the monthly “community service” option.

What happens if the litter-pickers (etc) decide not to comply? Do they get taken to court? Fined? Ordered to comply on pain of imprisonment? What if there is mass non-compliance, or organized civil disobedience?

In fact, in view of the fact that the State has not the resources with which to imprison up to 700,000 young people, the most they could be given might be…unpaid work for a few days a month. Oh…

This has not been thought through by Sunak and/or those around him.

Likewise with the military/naval option. To train recruits to a basic level takes maybe 2-4 months (the British Army takes 14 weeks to basic-train standard recruits, the Royal Navy 10 weeks for ratings; officers are basic-trained for longer, 15-30 weeks), and overall training of those National Service cadets is likely to take a total of as long as 6 months (the British Army takes 44 weeks to fully train an officer).

In other words, after training, the cadets will only be available for deployment for 6 months before their time is up and they either leave or join the regular Army or Navy. Any trained to an officer level will only be available for deployment for a few months, or even weeks.

The latest statistics for UK armed forces state that 10,680 recruits joined in a year (all arms), plus 3,890 in the Reserves (former TA). So nearly 15,000 (of all ages). https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/quarterly-service-personnel-statistics-2024/quarterly-service-personnel-statistics-1-january-2024.

In other words, the increase in manpower might only be 15,000 or so, or is the idea to have both ordinary recruitment and National Service recruitment? Looks as though the end result would be much the same.

Also, who would choose to join as National Service recruit when he/she could join up with (?) better pay and conditions as a regular recruit and/or as an officer-cadet?

Will the National Service cadets or recruits be put into dedicated units, or mixed-in with regular units?

Again, this really has not been thought through.

The people this crazy scheme is apparently supposed to “help”, or change, or just control and monitor the most, those disaffected 18-y-o individuals who are not at or planning to go to university, nor into a structured career or job of some kind, will be the least likely to opt for the military/naval option, so will “choose” the “one weekend per month” option, and probably either fail to attend, or may do it very unwillingly, like a “community payback” penalty imposed by the courts.

What is the point?

Also, if the government has a force of about 670,000 “litter-pickers” (etc) to deploy, how many older (older than 18) people will thereby be deprived of the chance of doing paid or better-paid jobs doing the same or similar work?

Once again, the consequential effects have not been properly thought through.

The most important problem facing both Britain and mainland Europe.

As if the pathetic French government is going to be able to do something/anything about this. The biggest weakness of all French governments is that they mistake making a gesture for actually accomplishing something. Macron is a prime example.

In fact, thinking of the French love for demonstrations and marches, most entirely ineffective, the tendency goes wider than just the political leadership.

Pity that the British Empire no longer exists. Churchill killed several empires, in effect— the German Reich, the British Empire (which died after using its sting to kill the German Reich), and the other European empires, which all eventually succumbed in direct or indirect consequence of what happened after 1939.

This is what the near future has in store for the UK— a literal Israeli agent as Secretary of State for Defence. Look at ex-MP John Woodcock (now “Lord Walney”), a sex pest and depressive case who is one of the worst Israel/Jewish lobby puppets at Westminster. He is apparently over-excited by the possibility that Israel will have yet another of its main “candidates” at Cabinet level, right in there with the others (Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Lisa Nandy etc).

All true (about Starmer), but all I myself am interested in, re. the upcoming General Election, directly, is to collapse one of the two main System parties, even at the high cost of allowing the other to become an “elected” dictatorship. Only by unbalancing the “two main parties” system can a social-national alternative arise.

Ecce the ****-poor quality of political reportage in the UK. Beth Rigby (the woman with the ludicrous accent or diction on Sky News) thinks that Lancing (West Sussex) is “near” Oxted (Surrey). Near? Well, 65.4 miles by road; as the crow flies, maybe 50 miles.

Pathetic.

Says it all. A Con Party MP, with a majority in 2019 of 4,214, prefers to vacation rather than try to save himself from being ejected. He knows that he and his party are toast (in fact, his own majority has been sliding since 2015: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wycombe_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s).

Those are the sort of cretins advising ministers and prime ministers in this country…

I think that that was in Downing Street, though, not at CCHQ (Con Party HQ). Maybe I am mistaken, but that was my recollection.

So the Jewish chief of the Con Party election campaign is being accused of falling down on the job, thus making it even easier for pro-Israel Starmer and his cabal to win said election with a huge majority? I feel a conspiracy theory coming on…

[Addendum, same day: a regular reader of the blog suggests that Isaac Levido is not Jewish. I do not know for sure, despite the name(s) and the look of the said publicist, so am adding this cautionary addendum in the interests of accuracy and fairness].

Having said that, why the voters are turning away from the Con Party is not mainly by reason of poor presentation but by reason of very poor actual government of the country over the past 14 years, and especially the past 5 years.

As Schiller put it, “Against stupidity, the Gods themselves struggle in vain“…[Schiller, Die Jungfrau von Orleans].

It is probably pointless to speculate on why those poor people, living on pennies, support the ultra-wealthy little Indian money-juggler. Mental degeneration? Insanity? Congenital mental problems?

Having said that, they are not entirely wrong, inasmuch as the Labour Party under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall etc will probably be as bad as, and maybe worse than, Sunak and crew as far as social security “welfare” in concerned.

What can it be? The Israeli flag is to replace the Union Jack? Unlikely (too obvious). Sunak has resigned and there will be an immediate leadership election? Just about possible. British troops are being sent to fight on the Ukrainian frontlines? In that case, Goodnight Vienna London; it has been a pleasure…

At time of writing, it is —right now— 2229, so back in a minute or so…

2235. Still waiting. The clowns cannot even get their big announcement out on time.

So that’s at. A desperate attempt to hold on to at least the former Con Party core vote of pensioners. The full registered electorate of the UK is about 45.5M; persons 65+ total about 11M, so about 27% of the electorate. Also, far more likely, traditionally to vote, either by post or in person.

These are pretty much the only people, or at least by far the biggest bloc, still likely to vote Con at GE 2024.

Whether it will make much difference, hard to say. Many pensioners will wonder a. as to whether Sunak will even be there after 4 July, and b. whether he can be trusted. There again, not all vote on the basis of perceived self-interest.

As a “big announcement”, slightly underwhelming, but I expect it will buy at least some votes. Absolutely desperate though, as a tactic.

Saturday quiz

Difficult questions this week. I scored 4/10, but even that very modest score was enough to trump that of political journalist John Rentoul, who managed only 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 5, 6, and 7. I came close (in my opinion, anyway) to getting no. 2 as well.

Talking point

Interesting. Well worth an hour of anyone’s time.

I liked the comment from a 90-something ex-soldier who said that, looking at Britain in the 21stC, he wishes that Hitler had successfully invaded in 1940 (in fact, there never was a serious plan to invade the UK: Hitler wanted alliance with the British Empire, not to conquer it. “Operation Sealion” [Fall Seelowe] was never more than a contingency plan and/or a smokescreen with which to lull Stalin into a false sense of security prior to Barbarossa).

I also liked the several comments by old soldiers now wishing that they had fought for Hitler.

Starmer’s priorities are: 1. Whatever Israel and the Jewish lobby want; 2. To eliminate any remaining free speech (and refer to previous priority); 3. To destroy what is left of Britain as a real nation, rather than a geographic space filled with globalized economic entities, including humanoid entities (and refer to no.1 above); 4. The self-interest of “Labour” politicians and hangers-on [e.g., most recently, Ayesha Hazarika].

They should have been kicked into the gutter and stamped on. They are nothing but sub-terrorists, using their age and sex as a shield.

Just Stop Oil is a pathetic excuse for a cause or ideology; worthless.

Those ridiculous old “entitleds”, crowing about their “Christian” faith, will try to destroy a (genuine) “national treasure”, but probably welcome the migration-invasion which will destroy this country and its society long before any “climate change” (however caused).

Typical msm scribbler thinks that “govt” can “solve poverty”. That depends on various other factors. In the case of the UK, you have importation of around a million unwanted immigrants every single year now, a fact which scribbler Paul Lewis ignores. Simply ignores. As if to say “million immigrants a year? Irrelevant. Just build more houses for them” (for these mostly useless parasites). Oh, and give them cash, and medical services, and schools for their offspring (etc).

4 million? Try 12…(and, by 2034, 25M, or more).

I doubt whether scribbler (posing as an economist) Paul Lewis has much real expertise in the economics of a state or a society (about your electricity or gas bill, maybe; I do not know).

Both lots of demonstrators are deluded in their own ways.

I used to go to Brighton Beach (New York) occasionally. Early 1990s. It was a largely Russian-speaking neighbourhood then. There was a large shop selling good bread, and pickled herrings and cucumbers etc.

I usually arrived on the”El” from Manhattan.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

Macron is an idiot. France would not survive war (totally pointless and unnecessary war) with Russia. One Sarmat-2 missile might take out, i.e. destroy, about 90% of the whole of France. I value France, where I lived for 3-4 years; I do not want to see that beautiful country destroyed.

Macron is yet another puppet of the Israel/Jewish lobby: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/, my assessment of Macron from 5+ years ago.

Worth reading the explanation.

That case is a good example of how some Jewish lawyers abuse the English legal system. See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/.

Mr Justice Nicklin said this in another case: “It is likely that this error occurred because he [Mr Lewis] had simply failed to carry out sufficient (or any) research or to take adequate instructions from his clients.

[per James Wilson]

Dishonest and incompetent…

Both Mark Lewis and Daniel Berke are fanatical Jew-Zionists. Lewis even lives, some or most of the time, in Eilat, Israel.

As said, both dishonest and incompetent, in the case of Lewis. As to Daniel Berke, I have no idea of how competent or incompetent he is in the civil law field (I read that he is a criminal solicitor), but on the face of the above, he seems as incompetent as Lewis.

As I opined some time ago, there seems to have been professional negligence on the part of Lewis, and that may now apply to Berke as well.

Incidentally, Berke also opines about “antisemitism” being connected to “mental illness”:

Seems that Berke’s knowledge of both “antisemitism” and mental illness is as sketchy as his knowledge of civil procedure seems to be. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/ [updated consistently], in which I examined the incontrovertible links between Jew-Zionism, Jewish “antifascism”, and mental illness.

Yet anywhere hosting anti-Zionists, whether political (London Forum, Patriotic Alternative, Keep Talking etc), entertainers (Alison Chabloz, Gilad Atzmon), metaphysical speakers (eg David Icke) or whatever, will be “hounded” by packs of Jews such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], “Hope not Hate” (“HnH”] and others.

When will the Daily Mail (etc) cover that story? Never…

Fair enough, but Neil is completely at one with Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby, and the Jewish element has been the driving force behind the attack on freedom of expression throughout the Western world: so-called “race relations” and “anti-hate” laws (designed to shut down socio-political debate), “holocaust” “denial” laws (designed to make aspects of modern history off-limits to both non-Jewish historians and members of the public) etc.

Incidentally, should anyone wish to help defray the costs of my own recent free speech trial, the crowdfunder is still open: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.

Could Andrew Neil be more craven? All his money, yet no real independence, in my opinion.

Like Andrew Neil (pre-2024), I have never watched Eurovision and (unlike Neil) do not intend to change my habit today. I have no interest at all in the Israeli contestant, positive or negative, or in any of the other howling freaks and noisemakers taking part.

I did notice that Denmark’s entry is an African! Not even a beautiful one. “Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad“…

The number of foreign mercenaries participating in the conflict on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has decreased by two thirds compared to March 2022 , writes “Business Insider”.

“Half of the mercenaries come from Latin American countries hoping to make money. They are there for money,” said Carl Larson, a former American soldier who fought in Ukraine.

He also admitted that, while he was in Ukraine, he realized that foreign mercenaries would not be able to stop the Russian forces and that they could only delay their advance “perhaps for an hour“.

…and if you cannot believe what (supposedly; they say; they claim) happened only last year, then how can you believe “them” when they claim that this, that, or the other happened in 1942, 1943, or 1944?

“They” are very brave when in a group, harassing a lone woman but, if confronted, run away and then claim to be “victims”.

A horrible tribe.

Turkey should turn off the tap.

Let them squirm as their tanks and trucks and cars grind to a halt.

The IDF captured the Rafah checkpoint on the border of the Gaza Strip and Egypt –

Israeli flags were raised there … The Rafah crossing was the only land corridor for people to enter and leave the Gaza Strip without going through Israel.

Let us remember that the capture of Rafah by the IDF is precisely the “absolutely red” line that all Middle Eastern players have drawn – from Iran and Qatar to Jordan and Saudi Arabia.”

Well, let’s see if the Arab and other Muslim states take any action against Israel. Frankly, I doubt their resolve.

Marine Le Pen on Macron’s decision to send soldiers to Ukraine:

“War is the worst thing that can happen to a people and a country, and I am amazed at the ease with which Emmanuel Macron talks about it. When, with a glass of whiskey in hand, while talking to a singer at three o’clock in the morning, they say: “I’ll have to send the guys to Odessa.”

Yes, I’m talking about ease, because we are talking about the lives of our soldiers. He wants to send troops for the sake of his own ego, personal image.”

My assessment of Macron from over 5 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/.

I knew it had to be something like that. Pearl Harbor Mark 2.

I attempted an analysis of those events a few days or so after they happened, 7 months ago now.

Lying Zionist and obsessed online social media troll, Myerson, comes up with a repackaging of the brainless old chestnut you have free speech but not freedom from the consequences of your free speech“. Under such formulae, Mao’s China and Stalin’s Russia had “free speech”…

Why has Myerson himself not yet been suspended, both as Recorder and barrister? He brings both the Bench and the Bar into disrepute. Looks like his thinking skills are also pretty poor.

[Update, 23 September 2024: Myerson was kicked off the Bench and sacked as Recorder —p/t judge— in June or July 2024, but was allowed to present his sacking as a “resignation”. Now the Bar Standards Board is (or so I read) examining, not for the first time, Myerson and his vituperative social media activity in relation to his status as barrister].

The IDF now controls the entire Philadelphia Axis along the Egyptian border in the Gaza Strip This violates the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace agreement, also known as the Camp David Accords. Under the agreement, Israel is not allowed to station any military units in “Area D,” which is a narrow land corridor along the border with Egypt.

They can never be trusted, any more than can most of their regional enemies.

This is what they are like, if given power.

Good move. Hopefully there will be at least a few countries in Europe not blasted into infinity by nuclear attack.

Inexplicable“? In fact, all too (((typical)))…

Yesterday, 98 illegal immigrants on 2 dinghies were smuggled into our country by our so-called Border Force. The video shows the illegals being collected mid-Channel where Border Force were waiting to take them onboard & whisk them to our shores. The Home Office alleges that the French prevented 3 ‘events’ involving 71 illegals. The total for 2024 is 8,685 illegals on 178 dinghies. All undocumented. They could be anyone & they’re free to roam amongst us.”

By the end of 2024, it will be about 50,000, maybe more; the calm sea season has not even begun.

The (((fix))) is in…

Actually, looking at that film, I was struck again by how much better-planned or built the Israeli villages and towns are compared to the Arab ones (anywhere). That will not lessen my overall hostility to Zionism and its Western lobby, but one must be objective.
