Ha. In a nutshell…

Not as surprising as it seems at first blush. After all, the Gurkhas were and to some extent are mercenaries or contract soldiers in British service. They have now switched, in part, to another employer. “Simples”…

The British Army still employs about 4,000 Gurkhas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurkha.

Lammy— both brainless and without principle.

Rachel Reeves— careerist and member (and Vice-Chair) of Labour Friends of Israel…

“Rachel, why won’t you talk to us?“…answer: because your name is not (((you-know-who)))…

“Russia counted on the honesty of its partners, Russian President Vladimir Putin said when asked why the special military operation did not start earlier.

We learned the true state of affairs only later, when the former chancellor of Germany and the former president of France said that they did not even intend to fulfill the Minsk agreements, Putin said in an interview with Russia on the 24th.

Speaking about the negotiations, he pointed out that the fighting in Ukraine would have stopped a year and a half ago had it not been for the West’s position, the Russian leader said.“

“Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that it is possible to start the undamaged branch of the Nord Stream gas pipeline in a week, but Germany shows no interest in that.

Can Nord Stream 2 (launch)? Can! Turn on the valve, say: We want (gas). He will get it tomorrow. It takes a week. But they don’t want to, said the Russian leader.“

Sometimes, I think that the “dirty democratic politicians” (in Hitler’s phrase) of Germany are even more stupid than those of the UK, but that would scarcely be possible.

Russia must and will win in the Ukrainian war situation, at the very least to the extent of maintaining its present position (control of Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea regions, and some other —mainly coastal— areas). Indeed, there is every chance that Russia will be able to take over (or regain, if you like) control of the entirety of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper).

The shambolic, brutal, and corrupt Kiev regime headed by the Jew Zelensky is fast running out of arms, ammunition and, above all, soldiers.

“Kiev. As the brutal reality of the war sets in on the #Ukranian people. The sadness and needless death imposed up on by Zionists and Anglo-Saxon elites on to the Ukrainian peoples. Ukrainian people and the world is slowly coming to the realisation; they have been taken for a ride.“

A lunatic enjoying his “15 minutes of fame”.

There is a kind of ingrained, hypocritical sadism in “them”.

“Putin: Ukraine regularly receives money for the transit of Russian gas.

So they say in Ukraine – aggressor, aggressor. But they regularly receive money for gas transit. They don’t smell ,” said President Vladimir Putin.

Putin said that a week is needed to launch the remaining Nord Stream line, but Germany does not want to.“

Interesting. So Ukraine (Kiev regime) is still getting money from Russia on a regular basis as transit fees for passage of Russian gas to the EU?! Very convoluted.

I wonder where those millions of US dollars end up?

One of the worst aspects of the collapse of the Soviet Union 35 years ago (the formal termination was in 1991) has been the proliferation of that strange semi-Americanized Russian-language rock and rap music. Ghastly.

The Kiev regime has only two chances: one, to join NATO, and then be able to call upon NATO forces under the Treaty obligations. That is why NATO states will not allow Ukraine to join, because it would lead to a world war before very long.

The second Kiev regime opportunity to avoid defeat would be a revolution or palace revolution in Moscow, and the end of the Putin administration. That is not going to happen.

The Kiev regime should cede to Russia all of Eastern Ukraine, and should then agree to make Kiev and Odessa “open cities” or, failing that, condominia. The present members of the Kiev regime can then fall back on Lvov (or disappear to Israel or the USA).

“Nancy Pelosi on Russia’s treachery: Russia has more people in the army than at the beginning, and they will replenish their human resources. They buy these people. They go around the villages, around the outskirts, and they pay them money so that people go to fight.” Instead of honestly grabbing people on the streets and catching them in transport and apartments, as is done in democratic free Ukraine.

Can you imagine a political system so screwed that someone such as Nancy Pelosi can attain to high office? As bad as that in the UK…

Not sure that I agree with that, though fraud (especially one person using another’s postal vote) is obviously a problem, particularly in areas with high non-white and especially Muslim populations.

Sophie Corcoran is a pro-Conservative Party, maybe pro-Reform UK —I don’t know enough about her exact views— talking head. She does not seem to have considered that both Reform UK and (maybe even more) the Conservative Party are those mostly voted for via postal voting, which affects the mostly middle-aged and elderly people most likely to have disabilities and chronic medical conditions.

Ms. Corcoran’s proposed postal vote ban would therefore probably be the final straw breaking the back of the Conservative Party.

Rochdale is a rather different situation. I shall blog about the upcoming by-election (29 February 2024) before the day.

Something just came unbidden to my mind.

When I lived in Almaty, Kazakhstan for a year (1996-1997) I had, in the course of my work, some limited contact with an Israeli businessman in his sixties or seventies who headed a large energy company with interests in Kazakhstan. The company was based in or near Tel Aviv, maybe at Herzliya.

The Israeli was (I was told by others) a former general in the Israeli Army. I accompanied him to a meeting with the UK Ambassador, at the British Embassy (which I visited fairly often). The Embassy was then in Furmanov Street, Almaty (the capital of Kazakhstan was then still at Almaty).

That Israeli (who from his accent originated in the UK, maybe in London) told me that (unlike the British Ambassador, whom he found insufficiently interested in his problems) every Israeli ambassador is given, by his superiors in Israel, a list of duties including how many contacts, including business contacts, to make in a year, how many business opportunities for Israelis to make or facilitate etc.

“They” are relentless.

Incidentally, I have no idea why he did not use the Israeli Ambassador for what he wanted. Maybe he did that as well. Probably.

Oddly, he did not have (at least with him) a UK passport as well as his Israeli one (I know that); so, despite the semi-“British” accent (and knowledge of London) he was probably not a dual-passport-holder. Not a hugely pleasant person, and (as I believe is common in Israel) rather abrasive in manner.

Well, that Israeli general and international business leech must have gone up the chimney many years ago now. This was in late 1996, over 27 years ago; so, in itself, it is just another of life’s memories.

True, but the pro-“libertarian”, anti-State, pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby stances of Reform UK will limit its appeal, in all likelihood.

79 years too late.

When I lived in New Jersey in the early 1990s, my first wife (an American) and I drove a couple of times to a small shop outside the centre of Newark, which shop had been left, as if washed up on the shore, after the race riots of the late 1960s, mainly 1967, which had trashed the (then) better parts of the city. That shop sold maybe 50, maybe 100 types of ground coffee. Guatemalan, Zimbabwean, you name it.

At one time, pre-1967, Newark had been fairly decent, but after 1967, 100,000 white people left the city, leaving it a drug-ridden, crime-ridden remnant. Having said that, I sometimes walked in the main streets there, or caught the PATH Line to Manhattan, and I never had any trouble. Maybe I looked too poor or too angry to mug.

[intersection of Broad and Market streets, Newark, NJ, 2005]

My first wife’s office was by the Federal building in central Newark, though we lived at least half an hour’s drive south, in Middlesex County, and close to the Monmouth County line.

Actually, even the “Federal” enclave in Newark was not completely safe. Two FBI agents were held up and robbed at gunpoint in the same supposedly guarded car park that my wife and her small group of colleagues used. Strange; I believe that the FBI are supposed to be armed at all times when in public. Maybe they were caught napping. After the mugging, the local police had a patrol car parked by that car park every late afternoon and evening.

Cities can of course fall into desolation via social factors alone, without war. Drugs, poverty, cultural decadence, breakdown of social trust, breakdown of social order generally. It worries me what I see in the UK whenever I have to go to heavily-urban areas (thankfully now not often). What will Britain be like by, say, 2030, or 2040? God knows.

“The flight of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Avdiivka threatens to turn into a serious problem, since the city is of strategic importance, retired US Air Force Colonel Cedric Layton said on CNN.

Due to the transfer of the city to Russian control, it will be much more difficult for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to organize attempts at a counter-offensive on Donbass – not to mention the fact that the Russian Armed Forces may move further west after Avdievka.“

Saturday quiz

Well, an unusual week, in that I was outscored by political journalist John Rentoul, who managed 6/10; I only got 5/10. I nearly guessed the answer to question 1, but could not be sure, and also came close on question 7. As it was, I only knew for sure the answers to questions 2, 3, 6, 8, and 9.

Exactly so. Labour actually offers nothing (except, possibly, arguably, tighter administration) that is not offered or done by the present “Conservative” misgovernment. Having said that, the voters plainly wish to punish the Government for being so weak and, indeed, hopeless.

It was surprising to see that just over a third of the Kingswood voters who voted, still voted Con, albeit that the turnout was well under 40% (so only about 10% or so of all eligible voters voted Con), but that may indicate that in a general election, the Con vote in that constituency (were it not being abolished) would be nearer to 20% or 25%, on a putative turnout of about 70%. However, that would still be not enough to win (were the seat to still exist at GE 2024).

All speculation, of course…

https://twitter.com/RespectIsVital/status/1758561747596710302

According to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] cabal (on its website), “lord” Ian Austin, the notorious Israel-lobby and Jewish-lobby puppet who was once an MP, and who is one of the “Patrons” of the “CAA”, actually wrote to the Director of Public Prosecutions in 2022 demanding that I be prosecuted for expressing my views on this blog.

See https://antisemitism.org/former-barrister-ian-millard-found-guilty-of-five-communications-offences-after-seven-years-of-action-by-caa/.

Regular readers of the blog will know that I was tried last November, found guilty on all 5 counts, and will be sentenced next month. Freedom of expression is almost dead, and a large part of the reason for that is the existence of the Jew-Zionist lobby.

Austin is very odd. He once tweeted that pornography involving bestiality should be decriminalized, a view echoed by the Jewish girl at the centre of the campaign against Dr. David Miller of Bristol University. Those tweets were later deleted. At the same time, Austin thinks that “holocaust” “denial” should be criminalized!

Austin’s quite long Wikipedia entry says nothing at all about his personal life.

Austin, as MP, was also a hard-core expenses cheat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Austin#Expenses

You can bet that Austin makes sure to “sign on” at the House of Lords every sitting day, in order to get his c.£350 a day taxfree cash “allowance” and other freebies.

I wonder how many other lucrative part-time jobs (in the argot of today, “side-hustles”) Austin has. That housing chairmanship was almost certainly only one of several.

Austin almost personifies the corrupt pro-Israel political system of the UK today, as well as Starmer-Labour.

“Tories said they’d lower migration

https://mattgoodwin.org/p/sunaks-sinking.

Lack of funding is part of that, but I doubt that the tweeter (obviously Indian) would agree that another large part of the problem is the half-million to a million immigrants of various kinds every single year.

Yes, a tiny percentage of the migration influx consists of doctors and nurses, but the other 99.9% are those who will not work in the NHS but will use its services.

Then factor in the disastrous “lockdowns” and/or restricted service throughout 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Then factor in the other recent developments: the strikes in the NHS, and the explosion of part-time working by GPs and the better-paid clinical staff generally, and also the phenomenon of medical students getting trained here in the UK, mainly at UK taxpayers’ expense (despite student loans), then emigrating to countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc for more money and a better lifestyle. They should have to work in the NHS for 5-10 years after qualification and training.

“Here’s a chart I tweeted this week which went viral on social media. It shows rates of home ownership in Britain by age, from 1960 through to today. Take a look…“

[Home ownership rates by age. Source: Sunday Times]

“Highlighting the fact mass immigration is directly fuelling our housing crisis clashes with the elite’s “luxury beliefs”. Routinely, they demand more and more immigrants, looser and looser borders, to project their liberal beliefs to other elites all the while knowing they and their families will never be the ones to have to compete with immigrants and newcomers for a roof above their heads.”

“As Andrew Neil said in response: “And the Tories wonder why young folks won’t vote for them”. Indeed. At the looming general election just 8% of Zoomers from Generation-Z plan to vote Conservative.

This is why, last weekend, housing secretary Michael Gove went further, touring media in Westminster to warn if young British people and families remain unable to get on the housing ladder ‘they will abandon democracy’.“

Our day in the sun may be nearer than we ourselves, as social nationalists, realize.

Look at recent by-elections. Only a third of voters are even bothering to vote. They despise the System parties and refuse to validate those “elected”, who have no real legitimacy.

By that date (2036), UK society will have either collapsed into civil war or chaos, or be very close to that point.

Only social nationalism can save Britain; and, frankly, even that will be a struggle. Things are very bad and, equally important, getting worse, and rapidly.

“Scholz blocked the candidacy of Ursula von der Leyen for the post of NATO Secretary General, – Welt. According to the publication, there were two reasons for this:

Scholz considers the position of NATO Secretary General too important to give it to a Christian Democrat from Germany (opposition to Scholz’s party).

Scholz considers Ursula von der Leyen’s attitude towards Russia too critical.“

Die Welt is a heavyweight German conservative newspaper. Its business-oriented attitudes make it interesting that, recently, its coverage has mellowed towards Russia. The sanctions on Russia, and the general hostility to Russia from such as Ursula von der Leyen harm, not Russia, but Germany itself (and the rest of the EU).

Ursula von der Leyen always strikes me as —in the American phrase— “nutty”— excessively driven, and even mentally-ill. Another similar specimen is Christine Lagarde. NWO insiders.

It looks like Scholz and other major political players in Germany are waking up to the fact of the inevitable Russian victory in Ukraine, certainly in Eastern Ukraine. Realpolitik.

Unsurprising, given that Milei is a populist. However, this may be shadow boxing.

The UK now has not the power and global reach to defend the islands, certainly not to retake them after an invasion, as happened in 1982.

However, by the same token it may well be that the Argentine government does not today have the ability to launch such an invasion in the first place; I am unsure.

In the unlikely event that Russia starts to be pushed back significantly on the battlefield because of such weapons given to the Kiev regime, the escalation might result in Russia using ever-heavier missiles and bombs, even tactical nuclear weapons. Kiev could be completely flattened

There must be a peace process that leaves Russia with, at minimum, Crimea, the Donetsk region, and the Lugansk region, and at least much of the Azov Sea and Black Sea littoral.

https://twitter.com/simpatico771/status/1758880174374797514

That relates to the Russian victory in the devastated city of Avdeevka (“Avdiivka” in Ukrainian). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avdiivka. Victory was declared by the Russian side only today. The Kiev-regime forces not killed or captured have withdrawn in disarray.

[Avdeevka/Avdiivka before the present war]

War is hell. Avdeevka in that photo looks (i.e. looked, before the war) reasonably decent for a once-Soviet industrial town.

Interesting, if true. A few thoughts come to my mind. Firstly, what conceivable British interest was being served here? None, in my view. As to the alleged MI6/SIS officer, he seems to be a good listener (which must be part of his job) and is evidently trying to be non-committal yet friendly (also part of his job, I presume). Other than that, hard to say much about him. Maybe privately-educated but trying to flatten the accent (like the present Prince of Wales and his brother)? Maybe, maybe not. A suitably “grey” person…

Navalny and his group were playing for high stakes. They lost.

The msm in the EU, UK, USA etc all show the masses a series of pictures (on TV, in the Press) etc; metaphorical pictures; shadows on the wall of the cave, if you like. “Ukraine”, “Navalny”, “Black Lives Matter”, “Covid”, “far right extremism”, “Russia about to attack Western Europe”. Mostly lies, or the truth bent so far out of shape that it becomes a lie.

If that is so, the withdrawal order was just a figleaf to cover what was really an uncontrolled flight by the Ukrainian front-line forces.

Diary Blog, 16 February 2024, with thoughts about the Wellingborough and Kingswood by-election results, and the death of Alexei Navalny

Leave a comment

Morning music

I remember that song. 1967; I was a 10-y-o child living in Mosman, a North Shore suburb of Sydney. Different times (look at the comments appended to that YouTube video).

From the mass media

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68305050

“Major French magazine L’Express has revealed that its prominent former editor, Philippe Grumbach, was a KGB spy for 35 years.

He counted presidents, actors and literary giants as close friends. He was a legendary figure in journalism who shaped the editorial direction of one of France’s most successful publications. When he died in 2003, Minister of Culture Jean-Jacques Aillagon said Grumbach had been “one of the most memorable and respected figures in French media”.

But he was also “Brok”, the KGB spy.

Extensive proof of Grumbach’s duplicitous life can be found in the so-called Mitrokhin archive.

Born in Paris in 1924 into a Jewish family, Grumbach fled France with his mother and siblings in 1940 – the year Nazi Germany invaded and Marshal Philippe Pétain took power in Vichy with a collaborationist regime.“

[BBC]

The Wellingborough and Kingswood by-elections

At Wellingborough, a convincing win for Labour. I thought that it might go closer than it did. Labour 45.9%, Conservatives 24.6%, Reform UK 13%. All 8 other candidates lost their deposits; the LibDems came closest with 4.7%. A local Independent, Marion Turner-Hawes, scored 3.7% and probably would have beaten the LibDems had she been the only Independent standing. The Greens, as usual, were nowhere (6th) on 3.4%, and Britain First was even more “nowhere” on 1.6%.

The Conservatives were let down partly by the choice of candidate, the girlfriend of unpleasant former MP, Peter Bone. Having said that, the main reason for the electoral upset was that people want a change, even if it is really not much of a change, or the wrong change. They wanted, also, to stamp on the Conservative Party.

The Conservative candidate tried to make “stopping the boats“, i.e. the continuing cross-Channel migration-invasion, the issue. Of course, the fact is that the cross-Channel invasion is only a tenth, if that, of the main invasion— the enormous influx of “students”, “family-members”, “highly-skilled workers” (Indians that can work a computer) as well as supposed “asylum-seekers” etc.

Also, the “Conservative” governments of 2010-2024 have not even seriously tried to “stop the boats”, let alone the main migration-invasion. Not far short of a million a year now.

Talk is cheap…

Empty words at best, lying words at worst (collusion with the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan).

A better candidate, and one not tied up with Peter Bone, might have scored higher, maybe well over 30%, and so lost less embarrassingly.

A real social-national party, if one existed, might have won. Turnout was only 38%; a huge 62% of those eligible to vote did not bother, or showed their contempt for the whole system via abstention.

No need to “analyze” the Britain First vote— pathetic. As for Reform UK, it is going to have to do a lot better than that if it is going to start winning seats. Another pro-Israel scam-party by Nigel Farage.

Overall, the result is another nail in the coffin of the Rishi Sunak government, and the Conservative Party (and Sunak himself, of course).

I should be ready to bet that, if voters aged 65+ (many of whom would have voted early by post) were taken away, the remaining Con Party vote would have been no more than 10%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellingborough_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s

Kingswood, north of Bristol and in effect an outer suburb of Bristol, also returned a Labour MP yesterday. Pointlessly, of course, because not only will there be a general election this year but, also, the constituency is being abolished.

The result was Labour 44.9%, Conservatives 34.9%, Reform UK 10.4%, Green 5.8%, LibDems 3.5%, UKIP 0.5%.

Turnout was 37.1%, even lower than at Wellingborough. Almost two-thirds of those eligible could not be bothered to vote, and/or despise the whole circus.

The Labour candidate had the advantage of being of local origin, more or less, combined with not being a Conservative. His unusual personal life (gay, and having converted from Roman Catholicism to Judaism to fit in with his Jewish “civil partner”) seems to have been disregarded by the voters (meaning the 11,176 who voted for him, out of about 80,000; the other ~68,000 were eligible to vote but either did not vote or voted for other candidates).

The Conservative Party candidate came closer than I had expected. His own local origins can probably be thanked for that. The Farage vehicle, Reform UK, came third, but again seems to be —time after time— the “also ran” party…

The Greens saved their deposit and beat the LibDems into 5th place. The rump of UKIP came last, and one has to wonder why candidates for no-hope parties like that even bother.

Yet another nail in Sunak’s political coffin, of course.

Taking away the local aspects of both by-elections, for me the “takeaways” are that this “Conservative” government is toast, that Sunak is toast, and that the Conservative Party is toast. Also, that the LibDems are seen as dull and, except where they have a good tactical chance against a Conservative candidate, unappealing to voters.

More? Well, that Reform UK is not exciting enough people, not yet anyway, to start being a major player. Also, that the Greens only appeal to around 5% of the electorate, if that.

Finally, for me the point is that, in both of these by-elections, only just over a third of people even bothered to vote; without postal voting, that 37%/38% would probably have been nearer to 20%. The voters most interesting to me are those not presently energized to vote.

What do these results say about GE 2024? That Labour must be en route to victory, though a victory not welcomed by all, or even a majority, of the voters. A feeling of dull meaninglessness, perhaps. A hollow victory?

For the Conservative Party, these results must mean that the bulk of their MPs are on the way out. 50 may survive, maybe 100.

A few days ago. I missed that story.

The time may come when Israel faces thousands of such drones.

I agree with the first bit, but only partly with the second. Many 2019 Con Party voters seem to be switching, in despair, to Reform UK, but that would be only a small minority of the overall electorate. Look at the turnout figures from yesterday. Only a third (just over) of eligible voters even voted. Reform UK, with its limited “conservative nationalism” “cosplay”, its pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby attitude, and its semi-“libertarian” economics, will never inspire even a half of the voters. Maybe 10%, maybe 20%. I doubt that it will go higher.

The fact is that, even at Kingswood, where the result scarcely mattered in itself (a general election this year, and the seat then ceasing to exist), Reform UK only gathered in 13% of the votes, i.e. about 5% of all possible votes. The Wellingborough result was similar: 9.4% of votes cast, i.e. about 3% of all possible votes.

Only a fully-credible social-national party might be able to energise and inspire the British people. That party does not exist.

“Today, the Tories are only holding half the people who voted for them at the last general election, in 2019, and only a little more than one in three of the people who voted for Brexit, in 2016. These are supposed to be the party’s core supporters. But many of them are now abandoning Sunak in droves, running for the hills.

And do you blame them? Seriously? Given some of the other events this week it’s not hard to see why. For a start, Sunak’s failure to control Britain’s borders was reflected in the remarkable finding that just 1.3% of the illegal migrants who entered Britain on the small boats since 2018 have been removed from the country.

And then came the latest data on the dire state of the economy, which confirms Britain is in recession and suffering the longest hit to living standards since records began, in 1955. Contrary to Sunak’s pledge to deliver economic growth, this week we learned that throughout his first year in office Britain’s economy grew by just 0.1%, while GDP per capita —which adjusts for population growth — fell by 0.7%.

This, too, will prompt many voters to ask Sunak some tough questions. Where is the growth you promised? Where is the strong economy? And where is the growth the Treasury, the Office for Budget Responsibility, and countless other experts told us would surely arrive if Britain opened its doors to unprecedented immigration?

The answer is it’s nowhere to be seen, partly because rather than deliver the high-skill, high-wage, highly-selective, and highly productive immigration the Tories have been promising since Brexit they’ve instead delivered low-skill, low-wage, non-selective, and unproductive immigration from outside Europe, which has been shown to be a net fiscal cost rather than a net benefit to Western economies.

...more and more [voters] are turning off and tuning out. Just look at the rates of turnout at the latest by-elections. Labour and Keir Starmer are not setting Britain on fire, far from it; the Tories are staying home.

These voters aren’t idiots. They know they’ve been led down the garden path by a Conservative government and a Conservative prime minister which have routinely overpromised and underdelivered.

These voters want decent economic growth and an economic model which prioritises British people. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories have given them more of the same.

These voters want much lower and manageable rates of immigration. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories keep putting mass migration on steroids. And these voters want strong and secure borders and a government which prioritises the security of the British people. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories have lost control of our borders, largely because they refuse to reform laws and leave conventions which make it impossible to remove illegal migrants and foreign nationals who commit crime, as we saw with the shocking case of Abdul Ezedi.“

[Matt Goodwin, on his Substack blog]

In any case, the UK needs no immigration at all. It needs to educate and train real British people to a far higher level, and then provide suitable employment for them. British people, real British people.

Suitable employment, appropriate and decent pay; decent housing; decent transport; decent medical care; decent social care; also, decent architecture and town planning.

Defying the Kremlin can be dangerous. The story that Navalny “felt unwell after he went for a walk” is obviously unlikely.

The daytime temperature in that region today is about -20C. Cold weather for a stroll, even for a Russian.

As to Navalny himself, I knew nothing of him beyond what was occasionally on TV news or in the newspapers. I was unable to understand why he returned to Russia after he had recovered from having been poisoned in Russia and flown to Germany for treatment.

My conclusion (beyond the apparent fact that Navalny was a braver man than me— and a more foolish one, arguably) is that he had a huge amount of egotism. He probably wildly over-estimated his popularity in Russia (in fact only about 5% supported him), and may have thought that arriving in Moscow on a private jet with a horde of Western reporters on board would probably protect him, especially as thousands of his supporters (mostly Moscow-based) would be awaiting his arrival at Vnukovo (one of the four main airports in the Moscow region: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vnukovo_International_Airport).

The plane was diverted to Sheremetyevo Airport. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheremetyevo_International_Airport, thus bypassing the expected mass welcome.

I may be wrong, but I think that Navalny may have thought that his return to Russia would be akin to that of Lenin in 1917. However, Lenin was never in any danger of arrest and detention in 1917, and had not only supporters but an armed guard force at his historic speech at the Finlandsky Station in Petrograd. Also, the Tsarist Government had already effectively fallen. There was no-one to arrest him.

Navalny has, by reason of his imprisonment and probable murder, achieved the status of martyr, but had he ever become leader of Russia, might have been as harsh, and probably less effective, than Putin.

I am old enough to remember how the usually-wrong Western msm thought, in the 1980s, that Andropov would be “liberal” (mainly because he was said to like jazz). The same or similar was said in the late 1970s of the African tyrant Robert Mugabe (“well-educated” by Jesuits, and a “democrat” by African standards. So they said…). Indeed, look at how the globalist msm lauded thick-as-two-short-planks Nelson Mandela…

Well, there it is.

One interesting aspect to the news coverage in the UK today is that it has been so extensive. In a way, surprising, when Navalny had no real support base in Russia, and never had a real chance of deposing Putin.

Were I more of a conspiracy theorist than people think I am, I should suspect that the UK TV people are using the Navalny matter to talk less about yesterday’s by-election results.

Also, the Kiev-regime forces are crumbling on the Ukrainian front-line.

Many, even perhaps I myself, might think that a retaliatory strike by Israel on Gaza, immediately after the October 2023 incursion, meaning in the following few days, would probably fall into the “self-defence” and “proportionate” area (leaving aside the behaviour of the Israeli Jews since 1948), but what has happened since then is a cruel slaughter and devastation worse than the much-criticized Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto by German forces in 1943. The Germans did evacuate most of the non-combatant Jews before killing or capturing the rest (saboteurs, terrorists, and rebels) and then levelling the area.

According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that would still leave the Con Party with 117 MPs. Maybe. One or two points can make a big difference. For example, if the Con/Lab numbers were 23% and 45% respectively, the Cons would have only 97 MPs.

Also, these polls always over-estimate the Green vote. When and where (except at Brighton Pavilion) did the Greens get anywhere close to 8%? 5% is more usual; or lower.

As to “the best Prime Minister“, terrible for Sunak, but hardly a ringing endorsement of Starmer either.

After Guantanamo, Bagram, Kabul, Abu Ghraib etc, the U.S. Government can say nothing about human rights abuses.

Well, anyone can make a “mathematical error”, as when a number of, say, six million becomes one of four million and then, later, one and a half million…anyone could make such a mistake, I suppose…

Labour, “the party for working people”??

For me, the main thing is to break the rigged “two main parties” system (scam). So if the Conservative Party is trampled upon and left almost powerless at GE 2024, good, even though that would be at the cost of a Labour Party “elected dictatorship” for up to 5 years. With one large party reduced to almost nothing, the System’s rhythm will be disrupted. No more the idea that “the other lot” will be better. With the Cons deflated, and the LibDems already on the floor, other ideas, social-national ideas, will come through, one way or the other.

Talking point

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/13/three-guilty-of-terror-offence-over-paraglider-images-at-uk-palestine-march

“Three people who displayed images of paragliders at a pro-Palestinian march in central London a week after Hamas militants went on a bloody rampage in Israel have been found guilty of a terror offence.

Heba Alhayek, 29, Pauline Ankunda, 26, and Noimutu Olayinka Taiwo, 27, were each given a 12-month conditional discharge.”

[The Guardian]

The malicious Jew-Zionist cabals such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” are fuming, of course. They love to see people charged, convicted and preferably imprisoned because of “offences” supposedly “antisemitic”. The 12-month conditional discharge was manifestly a just as well as merciful sentence, though it is unfortunate that the court saw fit to convict at all.

The whining demands of the various Jewish organizations are now just becoming a bore for almost everyone, including the courts, it seems. The woodentopped police, and the CPS, are still doing what those cabals demand (much of the time), but at least the courts seem both to retain some independence of thought, and to be waking up to the essentially trivial nature of many such “antisemitism”-related cases.

How absurd to charge people with a nominally “terror-related” offence just for wearing a cartoon or drawing on their clothing! UK society has no resilience at all now compared to the 1970s or 1960s, let alone 1950s. Society is now very fragmented, and has little internal strength.

While it is true that the retail cost of housing, particularly sale/purchase prices, is influenced by a number of causative factors, mass immigration (migration-invasion) into the UK is probably now the main causative factor in making housing absurdly unaffordable; that is especially true of the housing rental market, and especially though not solely in London and the southeast of the UK.

The opposite contention, that (since 1997 alone) an influx of perhaps 15-20 millions (including births to immigrants) has little or no effect, is just ludicrous, totally illogical, totally absurd.

The upcoming Wellingborough and Kingswood by-elections

The Wellingborough by-election tomorrow is a contest among 11 candidates. Five are Independents or joke parties. The others are Con, Lab, LibDem, Green, Reform UK and Britain First (which last I have not included as a joke party out of courtesy, but they are not my idea of a proper social-national party.

The Conservative Party scored 62.2% in 2019, despite having had Peter Bone as the candidate. Ordinarily, this would be a shoo-in for the Con candidate. This time, though, that candidate is Bone’s girlfriend. There is also the fact that the Con Party nationally is falling through the floor in terms of, inter alia, popularity.

Labour last won in Wellingborough, though very narrowly, in 2001. It also came close in 1997. Before that, only in 1966. In 2019, Labour scored 26.5%, a very poor second place.

The LibDems have never achieved 20% in the constituency since they were founded, though the old Liberal Party occasionally reached nearly 25%.

The other parties can be pretty much written off in this contest. I shall be interested to see how Britain First and Reform UK perform.

The bookmakers (Betfair Politics) have Labour on evens. Not sure that is a value bet. The Cons, on 11/1, seem to be a value bet. Reform UK is at 25/1.

The Con candidate, however tainted, is however batting off from a favourable position, given that her personal “partner”, Bone, achieved over 62% last time, in 2019. Her positions politically seem to be quite close to those of Reform UK; has she shot Reform’s fox?

This, as far as I can see, is between the Con Party candidate and Labour (as a kind of protest vote). Reform UK may take away enough of the remaining Con support to help Labour in winning the contest, but I am far from certain. You would think that either Labour or (even) Reform UK would win this, in all the local and national circumstances, but I wonder. It could be close among all three.

One thing is for sure: if the Conservatives lose badly in Wellingborough, it’s “Goodnight Vienna” for them.

Kingswood, just north of Bristol, is a constituency due to be abolished; it will not exist at GE 2024. There are 6 candidates: Con, Lab, LibDem, Reform UK, UKIP, Green.

The former Con Party MP, Skidmore, has bailed out (on a not-very-plausible “green” excuse), presumably in order to get a job in the “green” sector somewhere soon. Good riddance, anyway.

It appears, according to a New Statesman report (see below) that the area is —like much of England— in steep socio-economic decline.

I doubt that the Con Party has much chance. Skidmore was, in my view, not much of an MP, and his intellectual pretensions were just that. Well, he has now gone and, bearing in mind that the seat will not even exist in 6-12 months’ time, and that the present government is despised or hated by a great majority of the public, the Con candidate is a sacrificial lamb whose only selling point is his local origin (however, the Lab candidate was also brought up locally, and even attended the same school).

The Labour candidate is the former recent Mayor of Lewisham (S.E. London), though educated locally. The voters may like his local links (though he was actually born in Cork, Ireland), and may or may not be impressed by his having converted religiously from his native Roman Catholicism to Judaism (the religion, it seems, of his gay marriage “partner”). He is pro-migration, too: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Egan.

Until 2010, Kingswood was fairly firm Labour territory. As in other parts of the UK, the decline in both industry and living standards has led to a fall in the Labour vote, perhaps counter-intuitively. There again, Labour is no longer the party of “working people”, and most of those people know it.

Having said that, people despise this “Con” government, and this by-election is a pure protest opportunity, the seat going up the chimney sometime this year, so Labour must have a very good chance here.

The bookmakers have Lab at even-money, but both the LibDems and Greens are on 2/1, perhaps indicating that many are considering a protest vote for either of those. As for the Cons and Reform UK, 10/1 and 50/1 respectively.

Bookmakers’ odds are a poor way to forecast elections, though.

Kingswood is, if anything, harder to call than Wellingborough except that, at Kingswood, the Con candidate has really no chance at all. For the Cons, their vote-share will be a pure vote on how the public see them. It looks bad for them. They received 56.2% of the vote in 2019. Now? I think that they will probably end up with around 10%.

If I had to guess the result, it would probably be a Labour win, though the LibDems may have a chance.

[Update, 27 December 2024: Well, Labour won the 2024 Wellingborough by-election easily— 45.9%, with Peter Bone’s girlfriend, the pretty nice-looking Helen Harrison, on a mere 24.6%, and Reform UK getting 13%; at the June 2024 General Election, Lab retained the seat with 40.3%, a different Con candidate got 27.8%, and Reform UK crept up to 21.5%, a sign of things to come, perhaps.

As for Kingswood, the 2024 by-election was won fairly comfortably by Labour (44.9%), with Cons on 34.9%, and Reform UK on 10.4%, Reform’s candidate being the businessman Rupert Lowe, now Reform UK MP for Great Yarmouth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Lowe.

The Kingswood seat was abolished prior to the 2024 General Election. The reworked seat, Bristol North East, was then won by Egan, the former Kingswood MP (45.3%), with the Green in second place (18.7%), the Con on a mere 14.8%, and Reform UK on 12.9% (LibDems 4.7%)].

“I sat next to a nurse (older) on a flight. I asked her about her experience during the Covid crisis. She said that “anti-vaxxers” had made things tough.

Then she stopped herself and said “of course don’t know if you might be an anti-vaxxer” I said “I wasn’t one, but the Covid vaccine nonsense woke me up”. I told her I knew a lot of injured people from the Covid jabs, and I couldn’t believe these highly novel, barely tested shots were being given to healthy, young people who stood to gain nothing from them, and that I was shocked that they were still being recommended.

She nodded in agreement and said the mRNA vaccines had been particularly bad, indicating she was aware of many people injured and killed by them.

Later in the conversation she told me that her husband had recently died of pancreatic cancer. And her son had been diagnosed with aggressive, metastatic colon cancer.

She did not appear to see a connection between the shots and the cancers. The timing of these tumors could of course, be mere coincidences, but I would have thought the question of a possible connection would be obvious. And given the frank medical nature of our conversation, I believe she would have mentioned a suspicion if she’d had one.

I find the whole encounter disorienting, suggesting a fragmented belief structure that I believe must be common amongst those getting their news from corrupted sources—the smoldering ruins of a collapsed mass formation event.”

“Omg…@Kevin_Maguire calls @Nohj_85 and @oneadds, “anti-vaxxers” when they literally sustained life-changing heart and vascular damage after HAVING THE VACCINES! Do some research Kevin. Stop being so hateful. Stop pretending that you’re a #BeKind left-winger when you’re just a cold-hearted champagne socialist splashing around in the shallows of old fashioned media. The lack of compassion in this clip makes me sick....”

Kevin Maguire is one of the worst fakes on TV and in the Press. Poses as a radical “socialist”, but in reality is a Blairite system-Labour drone with kneejerk “anti-Tory”-ism. He lives with his wife and family in affluent circumstances. They have a house in Richmond or Wimbledon (I forget), SW London, as well as another house in the South West of England, maybe the expensive part of coastal Devon near Salcombe (again, I cannot recall exactly).

Maguire will back the Labour Party under the likes of Blair, Brown, and Starmer no matter what, and will oppose anything else, no matter what. He favours mass immigration, and opposes anything which does not fit his narrow and rigid world-view. He will always support the Israel lobby in Labour. Not worth reading or listening to. Not an original idea in his head.

As I said, pro-immigration, and without a logical or worthwhile thought in his head.

As a matter of fact, those rigged TV comment slots with Maguire on “one side” and the Daily Mail scribbler Pierce on “the other side” are just ludicrous. The only real disagreement between the two of them is on details and personalities. Both just System drones.

It seems to me that the voters have already decided GE 2024. Their decision is not to vote for the Conservative Party. The mood seems to me to veer from apathy to disappointment to despair to anger and back again to apathy.

…but that discontent is being scooped up and captured by parties which are little more than “controlled opposition”.

Look at Twitter/X; “their” sadistic attitudes are well-exposed on that platform alone.

Reminiscent of dystopian sci-fi films such as Escape from New York and Soylent Green.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Jews laugh at the suffering their armed forces are inflicting on helpless civilians.

I did blog, a few months ago, to the effect that there were unexplained aspects to the October attack, such as the apparent total failure of the supposedly very efficient Israeli intelligence and security apparat; such as the lengthy wait between the attack itself and any Israeli military response (especially in view of the small size of the country).

I asked the question whether this was akin to the mendacity of F.D. Roosevelt, who seems to have known about Pearl Harbor before it happened, and withdrew his most powerful ships from Hawaii prior to the actual attack. In that case, the purpose was to get the USA into the Second World War directly.

It still seems unlikely to me that the Israeli leadership allowed the October attack to happen, but stranger things have happened in history. Maybe the Israeli leaders anticipated an attack but thought that it would be less striking, less sanguinary etc. Then Israel could strike at Gaza and maybe drive the population out entirely, later replacing that population by Jewish settlers.

Hard to say at this stage.

What will be the co-ordinates? (only joking)…

Rafah, the very place to where the Gazan civilian population was “ordered” (by the Israeli Jews’ army) to flee to as a sanctuary.

Well, I have to say that, for someone the Western msm has been writing off with (invented?) terminal illnesses for at least 3 years, Putin looks remarkably well. Has “our” (((their))) media been lying to us again?

“God mote it be“, not because I think particularly highly of Trump as an individual, or as statesman of sorts, but because he will ensure, as far as possible, that the USA and Russia (etc) do not get into a Third World War that might set back civilization for hundreds or even thousands of years.

See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/.

At the end of the day, the choice will be a poor one, because the US political system is sclerotic and almost incapable of substantial change. That will be so even were Biden and Trump not to be the candidates in the end.

As it is, it looks like being Trump on the one side, a very flawed individual but one with real strengths, as against Biden, a corrupt and possibly perverse individual who —most importantly— is plainly at least semi-demented.

People may say “so what if Biden has dementia? He has support etc“. Well, if that is so, why even elect a President? Just let the Deep State conclaves, and secretive Bohemian Grove circles, and Jew-Zionist cabals, rule the USA without the figurehead…

I think that the American public are looking at the two, and are seeing that (to put it that way) one of them is as good as “off his head”…so game over (?).

…and it now turns out that the untermensch even strolled past (the new) New Scotland Yard a while ago! The police must be hoping that he will just throw himself into the river, and thus save them further embarrassment. Where’s Waldo?

If this trend continues, there will eventually have to be, not only in the USA etc, but in the UK too, a purge that will make the Cultural Revolution, the Yezhovshchina, and others, seem mild.

Hillary Clinton, someone who only became prominent because she was married to Bill Clinton. Thank God she never became U.S. President. We would have had WW3 by now. A semi-educated idiot who is presented as some kind of great mind.

Labour Party rule will be as bad as the present misgovernment, or even worse. The same forces control both.

There are huge numbers of people in the UK who simply refuse to see what is in front of them. For those people, immigration into the UK —and into Europe as a whole— is somehow good (and even if not, “inevitable”), as is the resultant mixed-race society.

Deluded people, in the socio-political sense. As Hitler said of the 1919-1933 Weimar Republic mainstream, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“.

Everyone in the UK should be aware of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, even in the dilute Wikipedia version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

Fictional literature is, famously, often the predictor of later fact; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Camp_of_the_Saints.

“The Camp of the Saints (French: Le Camp des Saints) is a 1973 French dystopian fiction novel by author and explorer Jean Raspail.[1][2][3] A speculative fictional account, it depicts the destruction of Western civilization through Third World mass immigration to France and the Western world. Almost forty years after its initial publication, the novel returned to the bestseller list in 2011.“

“We will restore democratic control of immigration policy after we leave the EU”, Johnson confidently proclaimed. “We must be much more open to high-skilled immigration, such as scientists, but we must also assure the public we have control over the number of unskilled immigrants coming into the country”.

This promise — that Brexit Britain would be completely reshaped around highly-skilled, highly-selective, and highly-controlled immigration— has been repeated by countless Tories ever since and still guides Spectator-style Toryism today.

The only problem, as new data makes clear, is that it was a lie. A big, fat, barefaced Tory lie. The country, the British people, got no such thing.

Contrary to what Boris Johnson and then Liz Truss and then Rishi Sunak promised, Britain has not been transformed into an oasis of highly-skilled scientists and big tech entrepreneurs who are contributing more than they are taking.

Far from it.

Under the Tories, Britain has become even more a country of mass, uncontrolled, and unassimilated immigration —much of which is not high-skill or selective at all.

Consider just one of many mind-boggling statistics.

Over the last five years, about two million people from outside Europe arrived in Britain through net migration. But how many do you think came for work?

Just 15 per cent. That’s right. 15 per cent.

The rest entered Britain as the relatives of workers, international students, the relatives of these students, or as asylum-seekers and refugees.“

[from Matt Goodwin’s blog].

Few of the migrants are “high-skilled”, few work in “high-skilled” (or any) occupations.

Our society is gradually unravelling.

Incidentally, Victoria Derbyshire misspelled the name.

An example of what is so wrong in that interface where public administration meets political propaganda, public relations, and low-level journalistic scribbling.

Look at his background. Five years of higher education at Oxford and Cambridge, studying natural sciences, after which he seems to have spent not far off three years working for Brexit-related pressure group organizations (Vote Leave, and then Brexit Central), followed by a year at the Guido Fawkes news outlet. Then? Straight to government as a Special Adviser (average pay is around £100,000 p.a.) in several posts over three years, culminating at 10, Downing Street.

After the fall of Liz Truss, Bennett left Downing Street (I presume involuntarily) and is now (after what seems to have been a year unemployed, or at any rate not detailed on Linked-In) in the world of politics-related public relations, like so many of such people.

People have to come from somewhere; no-one these days jumps fully-formed from university to government at a high level, but one wonders whose hands the government of this country is in when it is advised by people with so slight-seeming a background.

Odd-looking fellow. Must be about 32-33. Origins not known.

“SpAds” are a creation of the past few decades. Unnecessary,.

In the mid-Victorian era, public administration and much else was reformed: Army and Navy officer recruitment, the Civil Service, the Courts and legal profession etc. May be time to look again at how many parts of the public realm are organized.

Looking at the Liz Truss news, it is absolutely incredible that that silly woman now seems to imagine that she can return to some kind of political prominence. Her pseudo-“libertarian” ideology just does not resonate with the voters, and will not, even if conflated with some kind of anti-“woke”, anti-immigration ballast.

Matt Goodwin (continued)

Incidentally, that Matt Goodwin article reposted here above ends (at least the free-to-read version) with:

“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’s blog].

Many many British people now, either consciously or unconsciously, support the kind of social nationalism that I do, but they will not admit to it, by reason of the muffled repression now part of UK society. Look at my blog.

I am going to be sentenced in the magistrates’ court next month for allegedly having published five (5) of the 1,700+ blog posts put on my WordPress blog since the end of 2016. If “the pen is mightier than the sword“, then the Jewish/Zionist lobby, using the police and CPS as proxies, are trying to take away that pen…

There is also the point that no proper social-national party or movement exists in the UK. The one that is most closely akin to such a movement, Patriotic Alternative, is itself now subject to repression. Sam Melia, one of the leading figures, has just been convicted, in the Crown Court, of “incitement”, on evidence that would have shamed the Star Chamber; his personal bank account had already been shut down a couple of years ago, along with that of his wife, Laura Towler.

Britain is not really anything like a “free country” now; it certainly has very little “free speech”.

Looking at the electoral situation politically, it seems that non-voting apathy might now amount to half of the eligible electorate. That might be seen as a positive fact, though. The right movement might energize that half of the population.

Ha ha! I had better not comment in such terms as I should prefer, in view of my upcoming sentencing hearing but if, as Pollard and Collier claim, “antisemitism” is so embedded in, eg, the courts, how come I have been bothered by the police, then charged and convicted under a “bad” law (Communications Act 2003, s.127, which the Law Commission has recommended for repeal), and now face actual judicial sanction for having allegedly published a few “antisemitic” comments and cartoons during 2020-2022?

Wait a minute.

After that first day in October 2023, which side has been doing the “murdering, mutilating, and burning”? (maybe not raping, I do not know).

As always, “they” see only their own hurt (whether actual or imagined). As someone once said, “they” can feel themselves to be the “victim” even as they beat you…

As for that specimen being interviewed— ghastly.

For me, and surely objectively, the idea that, after an admittedly egregious attack (by Hamas) lasting some hours, or one 24-hour period, the Israeli response has been “proportionate” or “self-defence” (killing or wounding, so far, about 100,000, mostly women and children, and young persons under-18), is almost mad. Completely disproportionate, and way beyond anything reasonably describable as “self-defence”.

The Hamas/Gazan side does not have planes, tanks, armoured personnel carriers, really powerful missiles, bombs etc.

After the initial one-day attack from Gaza in October 2023, and arguably a day or so later, nothing the Israeli side has done can possibly be called “proportionate” or “in self-defence“.

Griffin is right, not least in saying that the clock is ticking in respect of the weapons being developed in, especially, Iran.

Actually, that is rather out of date. Today, closer to USD $6 BILLION.

Interesting. Whatever one may say about China in terms of human rights, animal welfare etc, its advancement since the 1980s, in technological and other areas, has been phenomenal. As a matter of fact, one could make a case that even in the animal welfare and human rights areas, there has been an improvement, overall, since the days of Mao.

The Chinese people, though alarming in a sense, being so numerous etc, are certainly one of the great peoples of the world.

Murray has backed the wrong horse, in the long term.

The Kiev regime is toast, or soon will be.

“NATO is preparing society for the Ukrainian conflict to escalate into a world war This is indicated by the fact that NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg is trying to link Ukraine with the Taiwan issue, writes the Global Times.

Moreover, the definition of the Ukrainian conflict is no longer limited to Europe. It is now seen as an indicator of a “wider global geopolitical conflict.”

Now the alliance is making it clear that its main goal is Russia, and China is a potential adversary. Against this background, Stoltenberg continues to promote the need to expand NATO, for which war is an external necessity.“

I hope not, but we of European or post-Aryan social nationalism must think beyond the present day to the future, and far future.

Pity there is no English translation, but the film does speak for itself, to a large extent.

Israel has done this. Israeli Jews have done this. Notwithstanding the arguably unwarranted attack by Hamas operatives on Israelis in October 2024, the behaviour of the Israeli Jews in Gaza —over 4 months now— once again goes far beyond what is acceptable.

Ukraine is a failed state, and pretty much a fake state. The part east of the Dnieper should be ceded now to Russia, together with Kiev and Odessa (unless they become “free cities”); also the Black Sea and Sea of Azov coastal regions. A rump Ukrainian state (not in the EU, and not in NATO) can be centred on Lvov.

There is no prospect of Putin and Russia advancing into Central, let alone Western Europe. Russia has no wish to rule all of Europe; it is no longer the old Soviet Union, and has no expansionist Marxist-Leninist ideology.

Britain would be mad to consider involvement in any war, let alone one against Russia, a power which possesses as many as 7,000 nuclear bombs and missiles.

The British Government, and its depleted and demoralized Army, Navy, and Air Force, cannot even protect the UK borders from migration-invasion— as many as 2,000 a day coming across the Channel, and several times that number coming in superficially legally.

“While Labour is favourite to snatch the Northamptonshire seat from the Tories, Sunak’s party faces a battle even to take second place, if local opinion is anything to go by.”

[The Guardian]

Less an ordinary by-election, more a possible template for GE 2024. As I have blogged previously, there is a mood somewhere between anger and apathy, a mood which has become palpable in recent years, recent months.

The electorate now hates and despises the Conservative Party, whose governments now seem totally incompetent and ineffective. However, fake Labour is not much liked or respected either. “Least worst”, if you like.

As the Guardian report about Wellingborough indicates, that electoral mood leads people either to vote Labour as least-worst option, or to protest via Reform UK.

Sadly, no real social-national party is available.

The electorate’s present main emotion is wanting to stamp on the Government, on the misnamed Conservative Party, and on its MPs.

“A BBC editor was hired as an expert witness to help at least 15 Somalian criminals fight deportation – including a vile offender who sexually attacked a deaf teenage girl.

Last year, The Mail on Sunday exposed how Mary Harper, Africa Editor for the World Service, was  paid to give expert witness evidence for Somali gang rapist Yaqub Ahmed during his five-year legal battle to stay in the UK.

Now an investigation by this newspaper can reveal Ms Harper has given expert witness evidence in a string of other controversial deportation appeals by Somali offenders – including for another three sex attackers, three drug dealers and a career criminal who spent a decade in British jails.

In one of the most shocking cases, Ms Harper warned that a Somali man who committed a horrific sexual assault on a profoundly deaf 17-year-old girl would be at ‘severely heightened risk’ if he was sent back to Somalia because he had committed a sex crime.

A judge disagreed and threw out his appeal against deportation. Astonishingly, this newspaper has discovered that, 16 months later, the 29-year-old attacker, who the MoS is banned from naming by a court order, has still not been kicked out of Britain and is living with relatives in a council flat.”

Get rid of the invaders. Get rid of any who connive at the migration-invasion of this country.

Talking point: a medical episode

I do not usually blog about any medical conditions that may impact me, but in this case something wider, about the NHS, is illustrated.

When I lived for a year in Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I suddenly became almost deaf at one point. Ear wax. The wife of a Russian colonel with whom I was friendly took me to a local hospital not far from where I lived; I think that it was about a mile up the same long boulevard, Prospekt Lenina.

The treatment was basic but effective. A giant “watering can” was filled with water. I was enjoined to kneel down with my head sideways over a large receptacle. A metal cone about 2 feet deep was then positioned over one of my ears. One nurse held the cone as the other poured the water quickly but steadily into the cone.

The feeling —not pain exactly, but pressure— was almost unbearable for a second. It reminded me of a couple of experiences during scuba dive training. Then it was over, and a plug of ear wax the size of a little finger was floating in the water. Blessed relief. Hearing was restored.

I think —cannot now recall— that either the treatment was free or involved a small fee. I wanted to give the nurses themselves some money, but Ludmilla, the colonel’s wife, told me that that would not be necessary. She was always saving me from “wasting” money (and/or from the odd blonde), as when we were at the “Zilyony Bazaar” (“Green Market”), the Central Market in Almaty, and she would not hear of me having my fortune told by an ancient Kazakh woman sitting on the ground, and who used small animal bones to do her divinations. Ludmilla was a strong character, a contrast to her very easy-going husband.

The next time I had a similar problem, about 2015, the local GP surgery made me an appointment to see a nurse. I did attend, but in fact felt OK by the time I attended, and the nurse said that she could not see any wax anyway. So nothing had to be done.

Well, here we are in 2024. I was informed by the same GP surgery that they “no longer offer” any ear wax removal. A private clinic was recommended. It operates out of a small and quiet NHS hospital in a coastal village about 5 miles from my home. I made the appointment. £15 non-refundable deposit and £65 for the treatment. I could have had it done earlier, but am in fact going next week.

So there it is. Something that used to be free on the NHS now has to be paid for, or no treatment. I am not exactly affluent these days, and even a sum as small as £80 is not nothing (as the Russians say), but one can well imagine that there are many who would struggle to find the fee demanded.

The NHS is less and less useful. Here we are, with GPs earning, in most cases, £100,000-£200,000 a year, monies coming out of all our taxes (even if, like me, you are not employed, you still pay out via VAT etc), and they no longer offer what was a minor but still very useful service. A sign of the way things are going.

The NHS lost its way many years ago. It now seems, often, to be run mainly for the benefit of those employed in it.

It is not just a question of supplying the NHS with more money, or higher staff salaries, bonuses etc. It is a question of making sure that the people are offered services, and that the outcomes are good. Also, that the people needing medical (and dental) help, and their families, are not messed around and ripped-off (eg by having to pay exorbitant parking fees).

At least I myself shall not have to pay for parking next week; having been to that small hospital once before, I know that parking is free, just as in the Good Old Days (or today in the USA, France and I think almost everywhere else).

Not that I disagree with the view shown in the tweet, but Reform UK is only useful to the extent that it can further and deeper push the Conservative Party into the mire.

Sign of the times. People to be arrested for what they might be thinking…

The very concept of “free speech” is heavily under threat already in the UK (mainly from Jew-Zionists and the Israel lobby, and from unthinking police, CPS, and other “official” drones), but now we see that people are being criminalized simply for having it assumed that they are thinking something!

Kafka himself would scarcely believe it…

Sturgeon and her SNP crew deserve to be kicked into the political gutter.

How cheaply people are bought, though! The Scottish electorate was offered and given a few cheap trinkets for its votes: no hospital car park charges, no prescription charges etc. That, and the the promise of a wonderful affluent Independence (which will never happen).

Nothing wrong with free parking and free prescriptions, as such, but look at the wider cost to the Scottish people under Sturgeon’s poundland dictatorship.

That occurred to me many years ago. Climate change (if occurring, and whether man-made or otherwise) may have as many upsides as downsides. We do not yet know.

Yes. I blogged about it at the time. Obedient rabbits lined up outside Waitrose, masked, and six feet apart (as decided upon by know-nothings “Boris” Johnson and Little Matt Hancock, and enforced by dim, black-clad, Handmaid’s Tale militia), only to rub shoulders once inside. Meanwhile, the pub across the road was open and without any restriction. Etc.

“Last year, I woke up to a police officer banging on my door accusing me of posting “hate speech” on Twitter. I asked her what law I’d allegedly broken and she couldn’t name a single one. She had no idea what she was talking about, but told me I’d be arrested if I didn’t stop doing the things she couldn’t even tell me I’d done. Helpful! Needless to say, free speech is nothing more than a relic of the past here in the UK.”

Announcement

Regular readers of this blog, who will be aware that I was before a magistrates’ court yesterday (31 January 2024), and facing sentence in respect of the alleged publication of 5 blog posts during 2020-2022 (and facing the possible enforced closure of this blog for a lengthy period) will be interested in what transpired.

It is inexpedient for me to blog in detail about the state of play in the case, the matter still being before the Court, but I can tell readers that the sentence will not now be determined for another 6 weeks. It stands deferred until a date in March 2024.

Having said that, it now seems that the Crown Prosecution Service is not applying for a full closure of the blog, but for a lesser level of censorship, which attempt at censorship will, however, still be resisted by me.

The blog will therefore continue to be published until mid-March, and may well continue to be published after that.

The public are getting fed-up and actually angry at the morphing of the police from normal police to a kind of poundshop Stasi.

I myself had a wheel (not just the tyre— the whole wheel) stolen from my parked car a year ago. Despite passing on to the police (via Internet) information provided to me by locals as to the general area where the suspect was said to live, despite also there having been at least one eye-witness (details of whom were known), the police were useless.

Scroll on a few months, and it transpired that the policeman apparently in charge of policing the neighbourhood in question was also the very same one who had been… to put it that way… snooping on my blog posts and gathering “evidence” about it and me! ‘Nuff said?

In the reported case of the Oxford Street busker, I am not sure whether it is a good idea to let people do that (it being arguably rather a nuisance) but, in the big scheme of things, she was doing no harm; maybe even the opposite.

He forgot to add “so please send more billions of pounds and US dollars from the taxpayers of Western Europe and North America to Kiev“…

It is wrong, of course, to call the Israeli Jews “nazis” (because the German National Socialists, even in WW2, never did anything like that, and as even those who often attack them admit).

The Israeli Jews have therefore killed, in Gaza, in just under 4 months, somewhere in the region of 24,000 women, young persons under 18 years of age, and children, including babies. The number of those wounded, often very badly, is many times that number.

At the same time, in countries such as the UK, where many non-Israeli Jews (or Jews with dual nationality) live, we are told that British etc people such as me, who blog or tweet the truth, are the ones who are “abhorrent” or “evil”.

The world turned upside down.

…and anyone trying to comment or analyze objectively, via blogs or tweets etc, will be adjudged “abhorrent”, or at least “worrying”, by those who prefer their illusions (of a happy —and non-existent— multikulti society) to reality.

I can see only one advantage to that happening (but I am effectively barred from saying what that advantage would be…).

Matt Goodwin:

“A decade or so ago I was basically where the average voter was. I leaned a little a bit to the left on the economy and a little bit to the right on culture.

I thought the economy, which had been battered by the global financial crisis, was in desperate need of reform.

The crisis had exposed how dependent we were on London’s financial services and how corrupt the system was. I was furious that so few people were sent to prison for causing the global meltdown.

And while I thought Britain needed some high-skill immigration to help things like the National Health Service (which employed most of my family) I was sceptical of the rising levels of legal and illegal migration under New Labour and which would later reach even higher levels under the Tories.

Like much of the country, and as research shows, I thought mass immigration erodes social trust, social cohesion, public support for welfare, and fuels populism.

…what has changed, what has left me and millions others like me feeling politically homeless, is what’s happened to the people running Britain—the new elite class. In short, they’ve radicalised —they’ve driven the car off the cliff and abandoned the rest of us.

Put simply, we are living through the greatest radicalisation of the elite class since the 1960s.

Increasingly, especially since Brexit, Trump, and the summer of 2020, the white, urban, liberal graduates from elite universities and comfortable backgrounds who have joined, and are now replacing, the old ruling class have been moving sharply leftwards on cultural issues.

On all the issues which have been surging up the agenda —immigration, multiculturalism, borders, race, sex, gender, diversity, anti-racism, and more— they’ve simply turned inwards and away from much of the rest of Britain.

And as they’ve moved leftwards, they’ve taken the institutions they dominate with them —the BBC, the civil service, the universities, the advertisement agencies, the museums, the galleries, the public bodies— using their social and cultural power to impose a narrow set of strongly socially liberal beliefs on the rest of society which, as the latest British Social Attitudes survey shows, are supported by no more than 20% of Britain.

As the research shows —the new elite are the most likely to unfriend people they disagree with on Facebook, block them on Twitter, feel unhappy if their children have a relationship with a Conservative or Brexiteer, and —as I discovered after the debate— refuse to even share dinner with somebody they disagree with.

This intolerance became most visible in the aftermath of the vote for Brexit when I watched many people on the ‘liberal’ left berate much of the rest of the country as an assortment of racists, bigots, gammons, and morons, all the while making it abundantly clear they had never actually met any of them.

And it’s also reflected in how, over the last decade, the new elite have steadily expanded concepts such as ‘racism’, ‘transphobia’, ‘hate’ and ‘misinformation’ to silence or stigmatise otherwise acceptable views, such as wanting to lower immigration, strengthen out national borders or protect sex-based rights, as being socially unacceptable.

And when it comes to their political views they are, like the new elite class more generally, completely detached from the rest of the country.

They’re far more likely than everybody else to believe Britain is a “very racist” society, to think minority rights ‘have not gone far enough’ and should ultimately be prioritised above the majority, to think mass immigration has been positive, to say we should curtail free speech in order to promote ‘social justice’, to say British identity is a source of shame and embarrassment, to support radical gender identity theory, like thinking men can become women and women can become men or, as we saw in Scotland, children should be able to simply switch their sex, and to believe we cannot move on as a society unless we stop to address historic ‘injustices’ which happened centuries ago while simultaneously ignoring many similar injustices that are taking place in the world today but which, to be blunt, don’t happen to involve white people.

You see it in the institutions where I work, the universities, where my former friends have spent much of the last decade denying we have any problem with free speech and expression whilst simultaneously ignoring the growing pile of evidence, remaining completely silent as universities become increasingly politicised, prioritising ‘social justice’ above free speech and the search for truth, and then saying nothing as the likes of Kathleen Stock, Jo Phoenix, Helen Joyce, Eric Kaufmann, and many other nonconformists who merely happen to hold different views were harassed, bullied, or chased off campus altogether. What happened to me? What happened to you?

You see it also in the general, routine reaction to anybody who dares question or challenge the liberal consensus on mass immigration, hyper-globalization, and the hollowing out of our national democracy —the online mobbings, the shrieking, the cancellations, the lobbying of employers, the online archaeology, the coordinated way in which ‘liberal’ progressives work together to essentially try and destroy the reputations and livelihoods of anybody who disagrees with them, and the downplaying or complete avoidance of national scandals which do not support their worldview, such as the widespread sexual exploitation of young, white, working-class girls. What happened to me? You must be joking. What happened to you.“
