[“A glorious day for opponents of transparency in public life.

MPs have removed the names of their parliamentary staff from a decades-old public register – meaning we do not know who these people are and are left to accept the word of their employer when they say (as in the case of the prime minister, here) that said staff do not have any outside earnings or private interests.

“All staff have confirmed they have no registrable interests”: oh, well that’s that then.

No way of determining if true; no way of finding out if MPs employing family members; no way for anyone other than MPs themselves to uphold standards or examine who is operating in the Palace of Westminster on their behalf.

The decision was driven by … you guessed it … MPs themselves, following behind-closed-door consultations with staff trade union representatives – not media or anti-corruption organisations.

Echoes of the time that decided among themselves – with nil meaningful debate – to exempt themselves from the centuries-old system by which those arrested would be named before the Commons.

Parliament being sovereign it is always free to take such steps without consultation or engagement with the public – the hope is they decide not to abuse their positions and proactively seek criticism or counter-views.

In this instance, sadly, MPs have demonstrated they cannot be trusted to do so – they have put us out of step with comparable democracies without anything approaching scrutiny.“]

The corrupt and near-useless Westminster monkeyhouse.

Allister Heath is, I believe, fully or part-Jew, though Wikipedia says nothing on the subject. In fact, there seems to be nothing easily-available anywhere in the public realm about that aspect. May be a “crypto”.

Born and brought up in Alsace, he only came to the UK aged 17: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allister_Heath.

It is not for him to make such statements. He has no locus standi.

Someone who completely appears to disregard the value of race and culture, substituting for it a dollar bill. His main foray into international relations seems to have been support (according to Wikipedia, “vocal“) for the recent Israeli war of near-annihilation in Gaza.

Such are those who are given public platforms (and money) in our society.

There is little discussion about the necessity to preserve the familiarity of the mental landscape in relation to the high streets. Bank branches, post offices, police stations. For example, banks should be compelled by law to maintain at least one branch in every city or town; God’s sake, they make enough profit to be able to give a little back to society.

“Buffoon” seems to me the more accurate term. An ex-Guards captain posing as statesman and quasi-field marshal; he wants war with Russia, apparently. So “crazy (and/or drunken) buffoon”, maybe.

Perhaps ex-Guards captain Wallace would like to lead his company “over the top” and into battle on the side of the crumbling Kiev-regime army?

[“Trump Secretly Flees Turkish Airport in a Catering Truck

The American newspaper The Washington Post reported that after the NATO summit in Turkey, Donald Trump, due to security concerns and a possible threat of assassination by Iran, left the airport in an unusual way as part of a deception operation.

According to the report, Trump initially boarded the presidential aircraft Air Force One to create the impression that he was leaving Turkey on that plane.

Then, Trump secretly disembarked from the plane and was transported to a military transport aircraft, the C-32A, in a special vehicle used for transporting and loading catering supplies.

Meanwhile, Air Force One, carrying journalists and some members of the presidential team, took off towards the United Kingdom to maintain the impression that Trump was on board.“]

[“Israel has informed the U.S. about Turkey’s increasing military presence in Syria, including air-defense systems that could threaten Israeli operations.

Syria recently conducted its first aerial exercise involving fighter jets and a Turkish helicopter, near the Turkish border.

Turkey has reportedly urged Syria and Lebanon to make agreements with Israel to gain time for military buildup ahead of potential confrontations.

This follows the creation of a new defense pact among Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan.”]

In the long term, Israel is doomed. It may be that all of the present Middle East, even the Near East as well, will face massive devastation.

The bringing into existence of the State of Israel, together with Arab/Muslim nationalism, and the oil discoveries of the 20thC, have created a bomb just waiting for the right fuse.

Drunk diversity rep who crippled Afghan-veteran police officer by dragging him along road with her Range Rover during traffic stop avoids prison

Candace Desilva, 37, of Anfield, drove off with the officer clinging to the side of her Range Rover in an attempt to flee after being stopped for traffic offences. She caused PC Simon Ward serious injuries and placed his life in danger, before moaning ‘I just wanna go home to my children’ when she was finally stopped. Desilva had told him: ‘See, there is nobody else coming. You’re not f***ing searching me. I’m going. You can’t stop me.’

[Daily Mail]

How can a half-caste “diversity rep” (whatever that is) afford a Range Rover anyway? The police should pick up on clues like that to catch those who are probably up to all sorts of criminal activities (but whether that is so or not, we do not want untermenschen of that sort in this country in any case).

Falter is not only a proven liar, but also a proven perjurer as far as I am concerned, albeit that he has not actually been convicted of perjury. The fact that he is invited to write his Jew-Zionist propaganda in the once-weighty Daily Telegraph says much about the state of this country.

Burnham is just one more enemy of the people.

Ignorant and overpaid TV talking-head, Kay Burley, says that Andrew Windsor was “a war hero“. Really? He was in the active war zone in the Falklands for about 6 weeks and apparently never in real danger, though admittedly only those there at the time can really assess that correctly (arguably).

Anyway, that was 6 weeks out of 65 years of freeloading and silver-spooning and, moreover, those 6 weeks were 44 years ago now.

Saturday quiz

Well, 8/10 this week, thus trumping the 5/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 6 and 7.

[“Excl: Whitehall officials are growing concerned about how little time Andy Burnham has spent in Downing Street since becoming Prime Minister.

At a Cabinet Office all-staff meeting earlier this week, First Secretary Louise Haigh even joked No10 was “extremely distressed” by how often the PM was away from the building – before stressing it was because he was “so dedicated and committed” to getting out around the country and delivering his agenda.

Haigh also told officials to “take your cue from the Prime Minister’s ambition”, saying he was “not the kind of politician that has to have a full plan before he starts diagnosing the problems in the country”.

She urged civil servants to bring forward ideas “no matter how risky or politically unpalatable it seems” and to “put it in front of us and let’s thrash it out”.]

Ah. So Burnham is “so dedicated and committed to getting out and around the country and delivering his agenda” yet actually has no real agenda, so what his travelling around really means is his showing off and spouting meaningless hot air. Pathetic.

Also, if this latest government of clowns has a supposed or worked-out “agenda”, why would they be asking civil servants to come up with ideas? Because Burnham and his cronies have none?

It sounds very much as if the mindset is “Britain needs a way forward but we have no idea what that should even be, let alone how to achieve it“…

Utterly pathetic.

Further thought: while, in strict British Constitutional theory, there is nothing to prevent Burnham becoming an MP “by arrangement”, then simply taking over as Prime Minister, in the real political world he will not be thought of, by most voters, as really legitimate until and unless he holds a general election.

At present, despite Labour now overhauling Reform UK in some opinion polls, it is quite likely that any early general election would result in Labour losing about half its present 405 MPs. If it were to reduce its numbers anywhere below 326, it will be seen as, and indeed would be, a lame duck government.

That is Burnham’s dilemma. At present, he seems to be against holding a general election, but unless he can pull a rabbit out of the hat soon, Labour will be toast (again).

Labour’s polling numbers will probably start to decline (again) before long.

[“Fox News, citing a new chart, announced that approximately two-thirds of the United States’ 2,330 Patriot missiles, held before a potential war with Iran, have been expended, reducing the US Army’s air defense system reserves to about 800 missiles!

Additionally, according to information released by Fox News, half of the U.S. THAAD air defense system’s reserves have also been consumed.“]

Bad news for the USA, Israel, and the Kiev regime, as well as the fake “states” of the Gulf; good news for both Iran and Russia.

Jesus H. Christ! This is what Europe is facing— an invasion by barbaric untermenschen. Mow them down.

Look at the underlying disease, not merely the symptom(s).

Not one, however, who “struts his stuff” vulgarly; an English gentleman who, however, has ideas and principles, and some steel…

[“Collectivism is an evolutionary behaviour that enables people to survive things that they could never survive as individuals, and to develop civilisations and higher forms of living.

Whereas extreme individualism, in nature, is the reserve of primitive creatures and organisms.

The consequence of this is that collectivist societies and political forces will always dominate, in the long term, over individualistic and Liberal ones because they have, on average, an intelligence advantage.

The kind of neo-liberal hyper-capitalist individualism that exists on the ‘right’ today is a consequence of dysgenic societies that have facilitated the survival of people who in previous times would have either died or been killed off due to their selfishness and greed.

This is why Thatcherite, neoliberal politics is a dead end – it has no future because in times of real political crisis evolution kills it off.”]

Of the several leaders of small nationalist parties in the UK at present, Yerbury stands out by reason of his powers of analysis and reason. His views seem to be quite similar to my own, in general, and from what I have read of them, so that is, of course, a strong recommendation for me.

The behaviour of many of the [Israeli] Jews is so appalling that even a Jewish Zionist scribbler is pained by their sadism and cruelty.

I have taken very little interest in the Manchester mayoral election circus. I just looked at the winner, one Bev Craig [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bev_Craig], a lesbian who sees no problem with the migration invasion (despite Manchester having been hit very hard by it).

Incidentally, why do so many female MPs, especially Labourites, call themselves by funny-peculiar diminutives (“Bev”, “Cat” etc)?

That tweet is right. People are not going to vote, many or even most of them, and the reason is because they hate and/or despise the parties standing. In the Manchester case, they had no faith, and were right to have no faith, in either Reform or Restore, let alone the System parties.

Why then did Labour win, albeit by getting 47% on a 25% turnout, i.e. by getting only about 12% of all eligible voters’ votes? Simple. “Ethnic” (non-white) voters, and/or public service worker voters.

Put simply, about 88% of the people of Manchester did not want Labour enough to vote for the new not-a-lady mayor.

Perhaps social nationalism will rise up in 2033, 100 years after 1933…

I blogged, after the Makerfield by-election, that Burnham’s supposed popularity, an entirely contrived idea anyway, would not travel far outside Manchester. I think that it is becoming obvious that that is so.

Farage is under attack for his various sleazy connections, but people are voting, or intending to vote, Reform not because they much agree with or much like Farage or Reform, but precisely to hit out at Lab and Con, to do them down. An anti-System tendency.

I saw Annie Machon once, with her then boyfriend David Shayler. They jumped onto the platform of a bus I was already on, in Baker Street, at the traffic lights at Marylebone Road. I believe that such buses with open platforms no longer exist; what a pity— brilliant and useful design.

I have no idea whether that was their way of throwing off surveillance, or whether they just wanted to catch the bus. I recognized them immediately.

At that time, Shayler and, by association, Annie Machon, were fairly if briefly famous, and were in the newspapers fairly often. Must have been around 2002. I think that they were on their way to what had once, in the mid-1990s, been my old stamping-ground, the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand.

Small world. I later spoke, in 2017, at the London Forum, where Shayler also gave a talk about half an hour before me, though I did not actually meet him or exchange any words with him. By that time, he had already been —and then not been— both a sort-of transsexual “cosplay” and, by his own account, the Son of God.

Actually, I quite enjoyed Shayler’s talk at the London Forum.

As for Annie Machon, I believe she lived in Iceland for a while, though her Wikipedia entry does not mention that.

[“The Government has confirmed that its so called ‘independent’ Digital ID Advisory watchdog, will not have its minutes published.

The Government must give us answers on this sinister policy, and rethink its current course.“]

We do not really live in a democracy but in a thinly-disguised oligarchic tyranny.

That bastard Ellwood is one of the worst criminals in this country. If the UK becomes a radioactive wasteland by reason of a pointless and unnecessary war with Russia, a major part of the guilt and blame will be his.

What is often forgotten is that the sale of fighter jets is not merely a matter of the aircraft themselves but also of the technical add-ons and training that usually form part of the sales package.

“Journalists” (scribblers, talking-heads etc) in the UK are mostly scavengers and similar riff-raff.

Farage must be odds-on to win the by-election. He got a vote-share of 46.2% in 2024.

At GE 2024, the Con Party put up their (former) MP candidate, retired actor and Garrick Club member, Giles Watling, at Clacton; he came second with 27.9% of the vote. Labour put up some young African, which was a deliberate insult to the English people of Clacton; the African got 16.2% of the vote.

Since 2024, Labour’s popularity has sunk, and I doubt whether the expected replacement of Starmer by Burnham will change much; it might even compound Labour’s problems.

As for the Conservatives, they have, it seems, now decided not to stand a candidate at the by-election. They may be afraid that their 2024 27.9% would sink to somewhere around 20% or even 15%. Whatever the truth of that, their absence must mean that Farage is a shoo-in. He may end up with over half, or even three-quarters, of the vote.

I cannot recall a (former) “main party” in the UK ever failing to put up a candidate at a Parliamentary by-election.

I have just now read that Labour will also not be standing a candidate at that by-election, and presumably for the same reasons— fear of getting a very humiliatingly-low vote; maybe about 10% of the overall vote. Farage is thereby guaranteed to get something like 75% of the vote.

[“Tories will never have an easier by-election again. Everyone else has stood aside. And they still don’t think they can win. No courage, no fight, no desire to change a frankly disastrous narrative. If they’re down to 40 seats it’s entirely their fault. Every single message or policy they put out is appalling. The strategy suicidal. Under anyone else they’d walk Clacton.“]

Not sure that I agree with the lady’s conclusion, but the failure to stand a candidate does scream out “we are afraid of getting a tiny vote“; same goes for Labour.

NATO and the EU are pushing hard. One day, Russia may decide to push back equally as hard, or harder.

[“Ishchenko: To avoid war with Europe, Russia must eliminate Ukraine as a Western war platform.

ALL PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE CONFLICT ARE NOW MANEUVERING BEFORE WAR – THE BRITISH ARE LEADING THE CHARGE TOWARDS WAR.

Currently, Britain is actively pushing towards a major European war. They have already made their decision. And, judging by the reactions of their nominal allies, Germany, Finland, and the Baltic states share this view. Poland is afraid, but also shares this sentiment.

A new phase of escalation may only begin after the war in Ukraine. And, judging by the determination of the British, who are organizing provocations at every turn, they will ultimately lead things to war.

A significant portion of Western Europe is, in one way or another, prepared to support the British plan for a major European war with Russia.”]

I think that the Kiev regime may only disappear when Kiev itself disappears; and that may happen.

There is something of the absurd about a tiny and unwarlike country such as the Netherlands fomenting war so assiduously.

Such untermenschen not only could never create a civilization, and cannot maintain one already in existence (created by white Europeans), but also cannot even live decently —even as total parasites— in one already created by those white Europeans (British or others). At best, parasites (most of them, most of the time), more usually also enemy elements, hostile to the (real) British whom they hate, and they hate us because we are better than them (99% of the time).

The Daily Mail, of course, fails to mention that the perpetrator is a black, but the readers’ comments make it clear that they know.

There is only a “housing crisis” because we have a demographic crisis, part of which is a migration-invasion crisis and part of which is a general non-white-population crisis (which itself is a delayed consequence of the migration invasion, going back to the Windrush-era catastrophe).

Add to that the arrests of non-whites (and so-called “travellers”, i.e. Irish tinker-types) with British passports. Huge. The prison population is now largely non-white.

[“It was a time when we were going on the assault & none of us knew if we would return. Every step beyond the perimeter was a step into complete uncertainty. A single thought pulsed in my head: ‘Everything could end here & now’. The outcome of the battle was always shrouded in fog, but we went forward. Assault after assault, step by step — Special Forces ‘Akhmat’ didn’t just hold their positions, they relentlessly moved forward. There were commanders nearby, & comrades at our backs. The tasks had to be carried out at any cost: that’s what our conscience dictated, that’s what a man’s duty demanded.

The hardest time came not in the battle, but immediately after. I remember those moments: we’re sitting in the back of a Kamaz truck, returning from another mission. The road is bumpy, the vehicle shakes, but there’s a deafening silence inside. Everyone is silent. It’s not just physical exhaustion, although it was incredible, leaden. We were silent from the terrible memories that were only 40 minutes old. Someone had just lost their best friend in that thicket or in that ruined house — forever. Someone had seen things that would never appear in a nightmare. Everyone was immersed in their own pain, reliving those 40 minutes & tomorrow, at dawn, we’d go back into that hell to drive out the evil again.

Sometimes I review old footage on my phone. Here’s my brother ‘Black’ — he’s still alive here, smiling. Here’s our commander ‘Tarzan’ standing nearby, confident & calm. ‘Romka’, ‘Gulema’… I had the great honor of serving with real Heroes. These people have forever remained in my heart, their names etched into my memory. The places we took by storm are also engraved in my memory: the children’s camp turned into a fortress by the enemy, ‘Post Office’, the industrial zone, the ‘nameless’ villages and cities. All of this is our blood & our history. I remember how, waiting for the breakthrough, I looked around and thought: what have they done to this land? Nature seemed to have been killed, burned to the ground. It was as if the very spirit of life had left these places. Watching the video where our brother ‘Kavkaz’ is still alive, I ask myself the same question: ‘How come? Why do the best always go first?’. I miss the guys so much that it sometimes takes my breath away. On this series of battles, there was a man who became our anchor. Ismail Suleimanovich (call sign ‘Hunter’) was my first commander. We met in 2022 & he quickly became much more to me than a senior in rank. If you ask me who he is to me, I’ll answer: he’s a brother & a father.

Our journey began with the assault on Rubizhnoye. My first command mission ‘behind the line’ & I immediately ended up in ‘Hunter’s team’. You know, there are those who fight on a map in a cozy headquarters & there are those who are always in the forefront. ‘Hunter’ was one of the latter. His orders were always clear & precise, like a shot.

When we stormed Soledar, he didn’t wait for reports in the rear. We went into the city with BATA… I saw him raise our flag over the liberated city. Under his command, we stormed Soledar. I’ll tell my children &0 grandchildren about him. About a man who taught us to win and to remain human Fighter ‘Yakut’.From the book ‘Memories of commanders & fighters ‘Akhmat’’.

Recently, a very warm meeting took place in Grozny: fighter with the call sign ‘Yakut’ visited his commander — ‘Hunter’. Special Forces ‘Akhmat’ — is a unique combat brotherhood, where the relationship between the commander & the fighter goes far beyond the charter. It’s more than a family. ‘Yakut’ is a soldier of SF ‘Akhmat’ in every cell of his body & entire essence The book describes the most difficult battles, in which ‘Yakut’ & his combat brothers, in the thick of the action, wrested every piece of land from the enemy. These stories are written in blood & sweat & they literally give you goosebumps. Such meetings in the rear prove: the fire of the front, passed together, binds people forever.“]

[“THE DOSSIER #8: Andy Burnham MP – The Corpse of the North

Born Liverpool 1970. Father a BT engineer. Mother a GP receptionist. Then Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. The elite’s finishing school. You have never worked outside politics. Not one day. Researcher for Tessa Jowell. MP for Leigh 2001-2017. Secretary of State for Health.

You failed at every level. You failed upward. You always do. You lost your seat in 2017. The working-class town rejected you. The “man of the people” too posh for his own people. Now Mayor of Greater Manchester. The “King of the North.” The man who would be Prime Minister. You want the Labour leadership? You have tried twice. 2010. You came fourth. Eliminated with ten percent. 2015.

You launched your bid in an accountancy firm linked to tax avoidance. You attacked the mansion tax as “spiteful.” You abstained on Tory benefit cuts. You lost to Jeremy Corbyn. You cannot even win your own party.

You slammed “indefensible” waste on NHS consultants in opposition. Then you tripled spending to £27 million per year as Mayor.

While working-class girls were raped, tortured, murdered. While they were called prostitutes by the authorities you controlled. While they begged for help. You spent millions on consultants. You lent public money to a property tycoon. No full checks. He built luxury apartments. Working-class families slept on streets. You promised to end such arrangements. You lied. You always lie.

But here is your extinction. Here is what ends you forever. Mid Staffordshire. You were Health Secretary when the scandal broke. Hundreds dead. Patients drinking water from vases. Left unwashed in their own filth. You resisted a full public inquiry. You delayed. You obfuscated. Whistleblower Julie Bailey called you “grossly unsuitable.” She said you were “incompetent or negligent.” The Francis Report exposed the rot on your watch.

Maggie Oliver. The whistleblower who exposed the Rochdale grooming gangs. She came to you. She warned you. She gave you the evidence. Industrial-scale rape. Torture. Trafficking. Working-class girls, twelve years old, called prostitutes by Greater Manchester Police. Raped repeatedly. Tortured. Murdered. Their families ignored. Evidence destroyed. Complaints buried. Maggie Oliver said you “turned away” from victims. She said you “did not grasp the nettle.” She resigned over your handling of the Oldham inquiry. You had the evidence. You had the warnings. You did nothing. The girls suffered. The girls died.

You were Mayor. Under your watch, Greater Manchester Police abandoned one in five reported offences. Domestic abuse victims. Working-class women. No investigations. No safeguarding. No justice. They called for help. You were too busy being King. Too busy planning your PM bid. Too busy spending £27 million on consultants while children were raped.

You preach about the NHS while your Labour government started the privatization. Section 75. Competitive tendering. The market devouring public health. You built the machine you now pretend to oppose.

The hypocrisy is surgical. You want to be Prime Minister. Labour blocked your MP bid. You called it “an insult to people’s intelligence.” The insult, Andy, is you. The Cambridge-educated “man of the people” who failed the people. The King of the North who could not protect the North’s daughters. Who turned away. Who did nothing. Who spent millions on consultants while children were raped.

An excoriating polemic.

Is this really someone the people of Makerfield want as their MP? Or as Prime Minister? I would have thought not.

I was actually unaware that Burnham started off, if that is correct, as “gopher” to freeloading/corrupt Blairite MP, Labour Friends of Israel member and, effectively, agent of influence for Israel, Tessa Jowell.

Incidentally, Tessa Jowell, now deceased, was also the minister responsible for the Communications Act 2003, under the appalling s.127 of which many people —including me— have been targeted by the Jewish/Israel lobby.

Seems to me that Burnham is being pushed and promoted by the (((msm))), and that is always a bad sign, as we have seen in the past, e.g. with Stermer-stein, “Boris”-idiot etc.

Burnham has nothing in the tank. Nothing new, and nothing interesting. A typical Blair-Brown era machine-Labour political careerist.

Britain has to be cleaned out. The whole Western world needs to be cleaned out.

Translates to a Commons with about 300 Reform UK MPs (about 26 short of an overall majority), 88 Cons (very weak official Opposition, but this is the first time for quite a while that the Cons have come second in the opinion polling), 64 LibDems and 64 Greens, 60 Lab, and 45 SNP [etc].

Restore Britain are still not yet on most of the polling questionnaires. If they were, that would make a difference even were they to reach only 5%-10%; a recent poll in Makerfield had them on 19% in that part of the world.

Very open, overall, but it is clear that people want a real change from the same-old, and LibLabCon cannot provide that, even if (in my view, especially if) Andy Burnham takes over Labour.

Incidentally, on those figures, were Reform able to climb from 25% to 27%, that alone would give them a small overall Commons majority.

Also incidentally, I see tweets from a couple of loonie women to the effect that Yvette Cooper would transform Labour Party fortunes were she to become leader. Hardy-ha-ha. I very much doubt it.

For one thing, Yvette Cooper and her husband, Ed Balls, were both fraudsters and expenses cheats prior to 2010, and were exposed as such even if never prosecuted. Yes, over 15 years ago now, but it goes to character. She is still moneygrasping and moneygrubbing.

Also, Yvette Cooper is a died-in-the-wool pro-Jewish lobby and pro-Israel drone, completely under “their” thumb. She is also pro-migration invasion and the hopeless and degraded multikulti society. A would-be dictator and total careerist; power-mad, and bitter towards those standing up for Europe’s, including Britain’s, future.

Nein danke.

Until I saw those tweets, I was unaware that yet another “chimp-out” of some kind had occurred in the UK.

Don’t forget which “community” is, at root, behind the causes of all that, such as the importation into Europe of vast numbers of non-Europeans.

Look below the surface of events.

Talking point

I happened to see a blog post from well over 6 years ago, and which has had a few recent hits. The issues raised in 2019 are, most of them, still almost exactly the same as they now are:

I think we have to start to understand, as a people, that quite a number of MPs, “journalist” scribblers, TV and radio talking-heads etc, are actually traitors; traitors to us, to our future as a people. Not just as a label, or as a word to put in a tweet, but in a real sense.

The Hilary Benn type of System politicians are enemies of this country, while sitting in a privileged position within it. Benn himself is, of course, the son of now-deceased idiot-“socialist” Labour MP, Tony Benn, a total hypocrite, as well as being completely wrongheaded on almost (?) every issue.

[“A white man sent out 300 job applications with his real name — zero responses.
He changed his last name to “Singh” on his résumé — and suddenly got callbacks.
This is not a coincidence. This is anti-white discrimination, enabled by DEI policies that openly discriminate against native Europeans and Americans.
While politicians import millions from India and lecture us about “diversity,” qualified white applicants are passed over for less qualified foreigners who game the system.
Merit is dead. Tribalism has replaced it.
End DEI. Deport the invaders. Hire based on ability, not skin colour or foreign name.
“]

Same in the UK. Even those institutions and employers not infested or contaminated with “woke-ism” etc are afraid that, if they ignore the non-whites, they will be on the end of a “discrimination” suit before long.

Monkeyworld UK, brought to you by the Benns, the Blairs, the Gordon Browns, the David Cameron-Levitas and George Osbornes, the Theresa Mays, the Starmer-steins, the “Boris”-idiots, and the Ed Daveys (etc) of this world.

I am unable to add what I think should happen to the enemies of civilization and culture, because we no longer live in anything even approaching a “free country” (as people used to say, long ago), and having politically-correct poundland Stasi police employees at my door (as has happened several times over the past decade or so) is very very boring.

Jenrick is also corrupt, tied-in with Jewish property-speculators etc. He should have been prosecuted.

Also, Jenrick decided to intervene in favour of building the proposed ugly concrete “holocaust” propaganda centre by the Palace of Westminster (not yet built, thankfully), over-ruling all opposition from the local council, environmental groups, and patriotic groups.

Even some in academia are awakening.

The full tweet by David Betz:

[“It is pointless trying to understand the contemporary British media complex as ‘media’ in the conventional sense—journalism, reporting, or even opinion. The correct frame is propaganda: mood and sentiment management, with its sharpest tool today being crisis communications.

The dominant technique, visible daily if you still watch, is inversion—systematic reversal. It flips reality: victim into perpetrator, aggressor into defender, truth into falsehood, good into evil. It constructs Walter Lippmann’s ‘pseudo-environment’, an alternate reality in which the public is meant to dwell.

A key subtype is projection, or ‘accusation in a mirror’, neatly summarised by a Rwandan Hutu propagandist in a 1990s manual: impute to your enemies exactly what you and your own side are planning or doing.

When a genuine crisis erupts—such as the racially aggravated murder of Henry Nowak—the first imperative of the machine is to stall, dampen, and defeat the natural eruption of public outrage.

Call it ‘restoring calm’ if you like the euphemism. In practice, it means herding people back into anaesthetised normality so that inversion can resume.

Once the majority has been shamed, distracted, or bullied into silence, the remnant still angry can be ridiculed by the usual chorus—eye-rolling panellists on Have I Got News for You, columnists sneering at those ‘harping on’, and accusations of crypto-racism or worse.

Thus, the brutal stabbing of an unarmed 18-year-old student, the false cry of racism by his killer, and the police reportedly handcuffing the dying boy as he bled out on a Southampton street is repackaged as another ‘knife crime’ tragedy (note Shaban Mahmood’s flaccid parliamentary statement this afternoon)—preferably illustrated with a generic white face in the style of the BBC’s so-called reality-based drama ‘Adolescence’ or the more recent but equally putridly manipulative ‘The Capture’.

Real patterns (grooming gangs, crime disparities, two-tier policing) are airbrushed. This is projection at work: the actual sources of predation and institutional failure are recast, while legitimate grievance is pathologized.

The truth? The system enabled both the attack and the immediate inversion of its aftermath and that stands exposed to anyone with eyes and functioning brain by the video evidence. That’s the problem, your own ‘lying eyes’, that crisis communications has to handle before there can be a return to normal levels of public mood management can be restored.

This is precisely what Dan Hodges is performing when he labels people demanding we talk about the murder ‘scum’ for refusing to respect the family’s wish that their son’s death not be politicised. It is phase-one grunt work in the inversion protocol: shame the angry back into silence so the pseudo-environment can be restored.

Smart enough to know his role, malleable enough to perform it willingly—exactly as Noam Chomsky described the filtering process that keeps the right sort of voice prominent in the system.

The technique still works on some. But it is wearing thin. Every overplayed inversion, every scummy dismissal of raw public grief, prepares the ground for sharper identities and clearer grievances against the system itself. Normal people do not remain moderate forever when the machine insists their reality is the problem.“]

Exactly. One of the best expositions I have seen recently.

I happened to see that a blog post from 7 years ago, early 2019, has had quite a few hits in the past few days. Looking at it, I think that it has held up rather well:

It is really quite funny how out of touch msm Westminster Bubblers such as Dan Hodges are. Now and then, opinion polling organizations ask members of the public whether they have heard of prominent politicians. Often, even members of the Cabinet score below 10%.

Starmer-stein clings to his own job, and will do until people start to stamp on his fingers to make him let go. Starmer also keeps members of the Jewish lobby that surrounds him in place for as long as possible.

Sample size very small: 452 out of ~78,000 registered electors (2024 figure); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorton_and_Denton#Elections_in_the_2020s.

So only 1 out of every 160 people was polled.

Also, the numbers only add up to 96%. Not very convincing.

Regular readers of the blog may recall that, weeks ago, I was thinking that the “big three” at Gorton and Denton (Reform UK, Green Party, Labour) would all come in around 30%, and that the result might be very close. Since then, my long-distance view has altered to the extent that I feel that Labour is lagging behind the other two, with Reform possibly leading marginally from the Greens.

Today, while I think that Labour has faltered and probably failed, it may still be able to muster about half of the 50.8% it scored in 2024. It has a well-oiled machine for getting votes out, as corrupt “democratic” parties often do. Still, my view remains that this will be between the Greens and Reform, and the Greens are being exposed as rather loonie as the days go by.

Many former Labour voters may simply abstain. Many undecideds may also abstain, but who knows?

If I had to guess, it would be Reform, and there is no doubt that Matt Goodwin is the standout candidate as an individual, but there is no certainty.

Starmer-stein’s failed regime is toast, though, unless Labour can actually win (and, realistically, win by a good margin, in view of last year’s 50.8%).

The Gorton and Denton by-election is only one seat, but a very solid Labour seat until last year. To lose it will send a strong signal that Starmer-stein’s government has run out of road with the voters.

In Dorset?! Good grief…

As blogged previously, the non-white part of the electorate is about 20%. Need one say more?

In fact, there are still a few white English/British people willing to vote Labour, whether because they are total deadheads or (and/or) from ingrained and inherited Labour tribalism in —mainly— the North of England; the core Labour vote is now non-white and/or public service workers, especially in the NHS.

At the same time, the Muslim part of the electorate is ebbing away to both the new Greens and to Muslim/Islamist independents and small parties, such as Galloway’s.

Dan Hodges may be right, though, that Labour has reached its present floor, more or less. Somewhere between 15% and 20%.

Meanwhile, the Gorton and Denton by-election creeps closer day by day. 16 days now, and many may already have voted via postal voting.

Good point. Look at the way white English/British people are already being treated— as second-class or third-class citizens in the country our ancestors created, built, and fought for.

It said journalists were given no advance notice of 1.6 million criminal hearings, the number of court cases listed was accurate on just 4.2 per cent of sitting days and half a million weekend cases were heard with no notification to the press.

Ha ha…

Starmer-stein is moving from being a mere clown to becoming a total joke.

Forget the non-existent “Russian connection”, and concentrate on the real one, the Israeli connection.

Davis also should know that the FSB is a security organization, not primarily a foreign intelligence agency (the main Russian one being the SVR).

I explored the Israel connection to Epstein (Jew) and Ghislaine Maxwell (half-Jew) years ago, and have continued to update: see

They need street-cleaners in Vienna…(Mandelson has toothbrush, and will travel…).

I still think that Starmer-stein will cling on until people start to stamp on his fingers; he will not let go of his own volition.

The ships referred to are naval minesweepers.

I do not doubt that they confessed (whether guilty or not).

Triggers a few memories.

When I lived in Almaty, Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I lived on Prospekt Lenina, one of the main boulevards. One day, I heard that an American who apparently lived across the (very wide) boulevard from me had been found tortured to death in an armchair in his own apartment.

At the time, I was sole expat lawyer for a British firm in Kazakhstan. The other office staff, however, about 5 people, were under a Kazakh ex-policeman turned fake lawyer (I am sure that he had either bought or forged his qualifications).

This individual in my office had links to the KNB, the renamed Kazakhstan KGB, and told me that the murdered American had been a gay who had picked up two men at a casino. They had murdered him, thinking that he had cash. They had also stolen items from the apartment.

What interested me most about the story, however, was the assertion that, because the KNB had apparently suspected the American (a supposed journalist, working for an obscure Texas-based journal, of which no-one had ever heard) of being a CIA operative, and so had bugged that man’s apartment (both audio and video). There was therefore both audio and video evidence of the torture and murder, though (sadly for the victim) not seen until the next day. Had the KNB been watching in real time, they would have been able to save the victim.

The murderers were, it seems, arrested the next day, and (of course) confessed. I imagine that they were shown the evidence, but would very likely have confessed even had there been no evidence at all. The Kazakh police are rather rough.

There were few foreigners resident in Almaty at that time. I was told that there were about 50 Brits, and quite a few more Americans (in a city of, even then, nearly 2M inhabitants). I doubt, though, whether I myself was suspected of being more than a boring/innocent expat lawyer, but who knows?

Incidentally, I went for a talk at the British Embassy there, not long afterwards, about “personal security”, given by a visiting expert from London. I was often at the Embassy anyway, had met the Ambassador and others several times (and it was walking distance from my home).

There were about 30 British people, businessmen mostly, assembled to hear the words of wisdom.

The “visiting expert” was a bit of an odd bod, a former member of British Army intelligence, and who wore a brown leather coat with a matching leather hat. He reminded me slightly of von Smallhausen in Allo Allo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Allo_%27Allo!; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_%27Allo_%27Allo!_characters#Herr_Engelbert_von_Smallhausen.

“Von Smallhausen” mentioned the murder of the American, cast doubt on the idea that he had been a journalist, and also mentioned the not dissimilar case of a Swiss banker, also murdered in the city not long before.

The “visiting expert” also said that most expats he had met on his brief visit had assured him that Almaty was safe for foreigners, yet he himself had visited a nightclub in the centre of the city a day or two previously and, on exiting the club, had tripped over a dead body.

I have to say that I never had serious trouble while I lived in Kazakhstan (1 year), and what minor trouble I did have was handled one way or another. There again, I usually avoid nightclubs, bars, and casinos in most parts of the world. In fact, unlike most foreigners in Almaty at that time, I not only travelled by car but also on foot and even by local bus, trolleybus, and tram (there was no Metro at the time). My then girlfriend remarked that I had to be the only foreigner in the city with a monthly public transport pass, though I had my own driver to take me to the office and back. I like to wander and explore alone sometimes.

[view of Almaty, Kazakhstan. The boulevard shown is former Prospekt Lenina, now called Dostyk (Kazakh for “Friendship”). I lived on the right-hand side of the avenue, in a kind of Soviet penthouse at the top of the first of the two similar apartment buildings, about halfway up the photo]

Apparently, Tony Blair has been talking up the possibility of —of all people— Shabana Mahmood taking over from Keir Starmer, and so becoming, by default, Prime Minister! Jesus H. Christ! Has the woman not been over-promoted enough? She has already been appointed as Justice Secretary/Lord Chancellor and, since then, Home Secretary, despite having not practised at the Bar (beyond her one-year pupillage); she was a salaried “gopher” at a firm of solicitors for about 2 years after that.

Actually, I hope she does take over. That would sink the Labour Party completely.

That, and craven support for Israel and the UK Jewish lobby…

Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper were exposed as both freeloaders and actual fraudsters in 2009, and were very lucky not to be prosecuted.

Electoral Calculus gives both Reform and Cons far more seats on the same figures; Labour, LibDems, and SNP far fewer. Same basic picture though— Reform far ahead of all others, especially in terms of seats.

I think that it would be socially acceptable to have official firing squads in public places for many of the guilty. That would serve several purposes: justice for victims and their families, retribution visited upon the perpetrators and their often-guilty families and clans, and also a feeling in the country that untermenschen are finally being put in their place, and that Britain has drawn a line in the sand.

I remain opposed to capital punishment in general, and regard the above policy as a necessary demonstration of social cleansing, rather than “punishment” in a legalistic sense.

Interesting.

Since I last blogged, a day or so ago, about the Gorton and Denton by-election, it has become clear that Labour’s stock is sinking, both in the constituency and across the country.

As blogged before, the 30% of the voters of Gorton and Denton who are Muslim are mainly, probably, going to dump Labour because of the largely Jewish and Zionist nature of the Starmer-stein misgovernment, something which has been put into even sharper focus by the scandal-news of recent days: Epstein, Mandelson, Ghislaine “Maxwell” etc. All Jewish.

As for the ~68% of local voters who are mostly white English/British, the deadheaded antics of the fake Labour government over the past 18 months will have pretty much trashed the Labour “brand”. I really cannot see more than a core of old-style Labour tribalists staying loyal.

Reform were already the second-placed party in Gorton and Denton even at GE 2024, though on little more than a quarter of the Labour vote. About 14% as against over 50%.

The story now is that a very high proportion of former Labour voters will go Green. How high, though, is uncertain. Some former Labour voters (some of the white ones, basically) will go to Reform, others will not vote at all.

Elections and by-elections are all about the numbers, and the numbers here are speculative.

If Labour’s 2024 vote of over 50% reduces, as it well might, attacked as it is from at least two directions, to about 30% or even 20%, then even if many refuse to vote, there must be a big chunk going to both Green and Reform. My money is on Reform, on the basis that Reform is the only party of any size standing on its policy mix at the by-election. Anyone supporting those ideas etc will vote Reform, as will tactical voters from the no-chance Con Party direction.

The anti-Reform vote is split, but at GE 2024, the Greens were only just behind Reform (about 13% as against Reform’s 14%); Labour’s 50%+ put the total anti-Reform vote in 2024 at around 64%. However, that was then.

As of today, my feeling is that Reform may end up with about 35% of votes cast, and the Greens perhaps a similar figure. Labour, I cannot see getting more than about 20%. The news every day just gets worse for Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel cabal.

If I had to guess today, my guess would be that Labour has almost no chance of holding the seat, but between the Greens and Reform, I cannot say. Maybe Reform, despite almost all the non-whites probably defecting from Labour to the Greens.

The fact is, that most people in the UK are appalled by the behaviour of Israel and the supporters of Israel in the UK. The result of that is that, despite clear evidence of what happened, persons plainly guilty from a straight legalistic point of view are acquitted because the jury obviously thought that their actions were justified by reason of political or social motivation, i.e. because of the mass slaughter being (even today) carried on by the Jews in Gaza against a defenceless and mainly civilian population.

The jury was probably also hostile to what the supporters of Israel get up to in the UK— profiting from arms and other production, repressing free speech, other exploitative behaviour, and trying to take over every aspect of British politics etc.

The unfortunate policewoman was “collateral damage” in a kind of war, just as the tens of thousands of babies and small children of Gaza, killed or mutilated by Israeli Jews, are “collateral damage” according to Israel and its supporters.

The verdict today does not sit especially well with me, mainly by reason of the attack on the policewoman, and the injuries sustained by her but, well, that’s war.

If Angela Rayner were to take over from Starmer-stein and so become Prime-Minister-by-default, she would not have to hold a general election until 2029. The British voters (the real ones) will never accept an ignorant “chavscum” woman and expenses cheat as Prime Minister, and would, at that election, remove her, and 90% of Labour MPs with her.

Incidentally, the “Sam Tarry” mentioned in that tweet is Rayner’s boyfriend, a horrible little bastard and ex-MP, who worked for or with the Jewish “anti-fascist” cabals “Hope not Hate” and Searchlight (magazine).

I blogged about Israel-puppet McSweeney recently. Now his head is on the block, albeit not literally.

Acting as advocatus diaboli, I suppose that Starmer could outflank his rivals by simply calling an election. If recent opinion polls are accurate, all the present rivals for Starmer’s purple would be likely to lose their seats— Angela Rayner, Streeting etc.

Starmer’s seat is one of the safest Labour seats. He would probably retain it. The downside would be, however, that Starmer would then not be Prime Minister, merely leader of a small Labour contingent (quite likely under 100 seats, possibly under 75). He might not even be Leader of the Opposition (if the LibDems were to get more seats).

More seriously, if Mandelson is (according to Starmer) someone who betrayed “this country” (meaning the UK), then what does that say about Starmer-stein himself, and all the other Labour Friends of Israel, every last one a puppet of Israel and the Jewish lobby)?
