It only takes one individual to stand up, step up, and send a message that will never be forgotten.

I am sure that the migrant-invaders and other non-Brits will appreciate the free housing. Then they can start (or continue) to breed.

More of the green countryside lost to featureless sprawl.

About time that the British people awoke to the fact that most of those purporting to rule over them are their enemies.

[“Take a good look at Labour’s roll call of benefits scrounges: Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves, Wes Streeting, Bridget Phillipson, Lucy Powell, and Anas Sarwar—each one a master of mooching off the system they claim to fix. Starmer’s hauled in £107,145 since 2019—£20,437 for a lord’s flat, £16,200 in suits, £2,435 for glasses, and £18,000+ in football tickets while fans queue for crumbs. Rayner’s £3,550 wardrobe and £1,250 New York getaway, courtesy of Lord Waheed Alli, scream entitlement—she can’t even dress herself on £150,000 a year. Reeves, our tight-fisted Chancellor, snatched £7,500 in outfits, while Streeting grabbed £1,160 Taylor Swift tickets as the NHS staggers. Phillipson’s £14,000 ‘event’ cash from Alli—birthday bash, anyone?—pairs with her concert freebies, and Powell’s £40,289 since 2019 marks her as a seasoned scrounger. Sarwar’s £10,117 in Scottish perks tops his MSP rivals. Together, they’ve gorged on £220,000 in shadow cabinet handouts—£700,000 across all MPs in a year—preaching equality while pocketing privilege. Hypocrisy doesn’t just drip from this lot; it pours, a rancid flood of greed proving they think rules are for us plebs and benefits are their divine right. Utterly revolting!“]

Runcorn and Helsby by-election

The more that I think about the upcoming Runcorn and Helsby by-election, the more I think that Reform are going to smash it.

No matter that I could imagine Reform with a better candidate (someone such as Matt Goodwin), though the Reform candidate seems voter-acceptable, anyway. The important thing, surely, is the hatred so many people now feel for the main System parties and even more —because of the feeling of betrayal— from Labour (in fact much more than for the Conservatives who, despite their appalling record 2010-2024, are now seen as near-irrelevant, finished, washed-up).

That’s before you even factor-in the fact that the Conservative Party is now led by a Nigerian woman who also seems totally clueless. Also, Kemi Badenoch’s thunder (on social security, tax, spending cuts etc) has been stolen by Labour. Labour is just a label now, and is even less social, let alone socialist, than the Conservative Party.

For me, it is telling that the Labour candidate for the by-election is trying to ape Reform, demanding the closure of hotels occupied by migrant-invaders etc. It is clear that Labour considers Reform to be its main rival, and not only at Runcorn and Helsby.

The 2024 General Election result is not helpful in analyzing this: Labour 52.9%, Reform 18.1%, Conservatives 16% [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runcorn_and_Helsby_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s]. However, that was then.

In the past nearly 9 months, the Labour “brand” has been totally trashed. The whole population, I should have thought, has turned away from Labour. Pensioners, the young, anyone receiving any State benefit at all, anyone anti-migration invasion, anyone with any genuine feeling for the English countryside, will not be voting Labour.

The petty corruption and sleaze of the Labour Cabinet may be dwarfed by the corruption of the past years of “Con Party” misgovernment, but the point, I think, is that people, especially in the North of England, somehow expected Labour to be somehow better.

The sheer “we are the masters now” arrogance and callousness exhibited by Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Starmer-stein, and their lesser followers such as Torsten Bell, has disgusted millions.

People now, after only 9 months, see this Labour-label regime as being quite as bad, and in fact worse in every way, than those of 14 years of Conservative misgovernment.

I do not think that Labour’s appalling handling of foreign affairs (by thick “diversity-hire” Lammy, as well as by Starmer-stein himself) will count for much at the by-election, either way, but people can surely see that Starmer has made a fool of himself by threatening to send (almost non-existent) troops to Ukraine etc. That is so even for people who support the Kiev regime.

I think that important factors at the by-election will include the continuing migration-invasion, the petty sleaze and corruption of Labour’s top echelon, the hypocrisy of the same, the sense of Britain as a country sliding to chaos and even civil war (albeit not this year), the behaviour of the former Labour MP, the wish to give Labour a real kick and, perhaps most important, the sense of total betrayal by Labour.

At present, both polling orgs and bookmakers predict a modest or narrow win for Reform.

I may be wrong, but I think we could be looking at a huge win by Reform. A win in the region of as much as 50% or even 60% of the vote-share. Labour? Maybe 20%-30%. Cons? 10% or below; maybe even a lost deposit.

This might turn out to be a very significant by-election result. If Reform can win it, the win might pave the way for dozens of others in this Parliament.

Historical footnote

[Philby on a 5-kopeck late-Soviet commemorative postage stamp, and described as “Soviet Razvedchik“, a term which might be translated as “intelligencer”, rather than the grubbier-sounding “spy” (in Russian, “shpion”); “razvedchik” is a more polite or dignified term]

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/22/mi5-surveillance-british-spy-kim-philby-made-public

“Secret surveillance of Britain’s ­notorious double agent, Kim Philby, made public for the first time in archived documents, reveals how keenly the Security Service wanted to confirm or disprove early suspicions of his high-level treachery.

In daily bulletins submitted to MI5 in November 1951, undercover operatives describe how Philby, codenamed Peach, moved about London.

They said he gave “no outward sign of being either nervous or on the alert, but your well trained man should not do so; every movement is natural – again as it should be”

[Guardian]

The whole Philby thing has always been hugely overblown. Philby himself has been over-rated, too. Superficially well-educated, yes, but really a rather dogmatic Marxist-Leninist who, under other formative circumstances, might have been like some of the other basically mediocre professional-level bourgeois Englishmen I have met in my life, and who were not in secret-intelligence work but, variously, Roman Catholic converts, and/or military officers or barristers or other activity.

Philby was certainly no great mind, though he evidently thought himself very clever. Likewise, he was a bit of a plodder ideologically.

I recall that Philby wrote in his supposed memoirs (possibly part-ghosted by KGB helpers), My Silent War, or elsewhere, that “you choose your side and stick with it“, i.e. rather as others do to the Labour or Conservative parties, or to (the contemporary British obsession) football clubs. Unthinking loyalty. Stick-in-the-mud loyalty.

The puffing of Philby as the “masterspy”, or even “spymaster”, suited both sides in the Cold War: the Soviet side getting the gloss of having not only suborned Philby and other “Establishment” Englishmen to the Marxist/Soviet cause, but also having outplayed Western intelligence agencies in the spy game.

As for the British part of the Western side, Philby’s prominence could be presented as an example of why pervasive “security” (and the whole Cold War stance) was necessary. Also, his supposed “brilliance” in a way bolstered the reputation of institutions such as the more expensive English schools (Philby was at Westminster School) and, of course, the supposedly elite universities, in particular Cambridge.

The whole “Cambridge spies” story tends to puff the reputation of SIS and MI5 (despite their having been outplayed) by making their role seem terribly important. One scribbler even penned a well-known book called Philby— The Spy Who Betrayed A Generation, as if the Cambridge Spies were pretty much the centrepiece of British history since the 1930s, rather than an obscure footnote to it.

In the 1930s (when Philby started to work for Soviet organizations), there was (in the first half of the decade) the Great Depression, and the initial triumph of National Socialism in Germany. In the middle of the 1930s to 1939, the Spanish Civil War, while in Britain itself, the economy was recovering and society changing .

Then, in the early/mid 1940s, there was the titanic Second World War (in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War).

In Britain, after 1945, there were the great social changes of the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, the “Cambridge Spies” were mostly not even in the UK. Maclean and Burgess had fled in 1951, and Philby was in journalistic exile in the Middle East. The economic and social changes in the UK were the main events, together with the start of the disastrous migration-invasion of non-whites into the UK, and Britain’s retreat from Empire.

The “Cambridge Spies” were not even footnotes to much of that. Near-irrelevant, despite the obsessions of the Westminster Bubblers and newspaper scribblers.

What damaged Britain in the 1940s through to the 1960s, and then on to today, was not a few spies passing on information to the Soviet Union, but the abandonment of Empire, the importation of blacks and browns in vast numbers, the cultural decadence etc.

You often see Philby and his fellow Cambridge spies described as “upper-class” or even “aristocratic”. In fact, not one was of “aristocratic” background, though all (except Cairncross) were affluent or wealthy. Philby’s own father was from an affluent government-connected family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby] but a fact generally ignored or covered-up is that Philby’s mother, Dora, was half-Indian, a so-called “chi-chi” (pron. “shi-shi”), which may have subtly affected his loyalties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Philby

General Kalugin, in his memoirs, describes how his superiors had the idea of using Philby, then in Moscow, as a kind of lure for potential agents in the West, by showing that he was respected, had a good life etc. His first meeting with the shambling drunken Philby makes a memorable picture.

Incidentally, Philby never learned to speak or read Russian beyond a rudimentary level, and had English-language books supplied to him via the KGB (presumably via people at the London embassy, and the diplomatic bag).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Kalugin

In the early 1990s, sometime around 1994, I was slightly acquainted with a Russian businessman living in London, and with an office in Regent Street, who had some legal business (I was a barrister at the time). We had lunch at least once at my Inn (of Court), Lincoln’s Inn. I recall that the Spanish waitress was very taken with “Ed” [Edvard] and his rather Scandinavian looks (he was from the Baltic regions) and even asked me later if I might effect an introduction for her (that never happened).

“Ed” was quite open about the fact that, prior to his taking to capitalist business activity, he had been in the KGB, though that would only have been, at a guess, for a relatively few years. He recalled having been at a lecture or two given by Philby in Moscow (he said that that had been at the Lubyanka).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubyanka_Building

Small world. “Six degrees of separation” etc…

Incidentally, those comments in the Guardian from the MI5 surveillance directorate in 1951 do tend to beg the question; after all, if a surveillance target is acting naturally, then either he is not guilty, or is literally acting (and/or has been trained to act) naturally, so in fact may be guilty. If, though, the target looks nervous, looks for reflections in shop windows etc, does that mean that he is guilty, or is he just a nervous wreck and/or afraid of being thought guilty? Wilderness of mirrors.

The sheer hypocrisy of the Labour Friends of Israel “Labour” government is simply unbelievable. Surely Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves, Torsten Bell, Starmer-stein etc can see that? Or are they so removed from truth and decency that they cannot see it? That might be even more alarming.

I should imagine that even Labour-inclined voters will be voting Reform UK (or staying home) at the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, in order to send a message (and/or a kick) to this horrifyingly callous and irredeemably incompetent misgovernment.

As to Conservative Party loyalists in the area, I should say that the Cons have no chance— so vote Reform in order to stick it to fake Labour.

“Rachel from Accounts” knows no more about economics than George Osborne during 2010-2015. Both promulgating counter-productive fake “austerity”.

“Given that there is a lot of talk about changes to special educational needs provision and reform plans for the NHS, we should worry about what the government might focus on next. Equally alarming, it seems to me, is a belief in Downing Street that reviving the UK demands embracing the wonders of artificial intelligence, which Keir Starmer believes will have an almost magical effect on everything from social work to education, and realise his new dream of “totally rewiring government”. Because this is an administration so lacking in everyday humanity, that is a much more scary prospect than he and his colleagues seem to realise.“

[John Harris in The Guardian]

I should not be surprised to find (if I am still around) that, somewhere down the line, in 5+ years’ time, the members of the present Cabinet will find themselves up against a wall.

So 1930s Germany encourages Jews to depart = bad, but 2020s Israel encourages Palestinian Arabs to depart = good?

Sumy Oblast or region is in NE Ukraine. Sumy city is NNW of Kharkov; about 150 miles from Kharkov by road but only about 90 miles as the crow flies. About 200 miles east of Kiev.

So Russian forces are in Sumy Oblast now. There seem to be Russian advances in all material parts of the overall front. Kiev-regime forces are falling back.

This blog has been referring to fake Labour as “Labour-label” since its inception in late 2016, certainly since 2019..

For those who are unaware of the outline of James Wilson’s (now-successful) libel case against three defendants (all Jews; in one case, possibly only a part-Jew), the defendants were advised and/or represented by Jewish solicitors and barristers who seem to have been, all or variously, professionally negligent and/or incompetent.

Mark Lewis and Daniel Berke were the main solicitors for the defendants, Beth Grossman of Doughty Street Chambers was the barrister (possibly the only barrister; I do not know, and only heard of her recently, via Wilson’s Twitter/X account and Substack blog).

“Lewis’s reputation“? Ha ha! Only ignorant fools think that that is worth more than a plugged nickel. I have blogged many times about him, over many years; he has never once threatened to sue me (no doubt partly by reason of my impecuniosity, but truth as defence –or other defences— may also have much to do with it).

Unpleasant Jew “restaurant critic” (what a silly job) talks about “our” (i.e. British) “Battle of Britain bravery“.

I was unable to read the full article, by reason of the paywall; why would anyone pay to read that sort of ignorant rubbish?

Rentoul, as usual, supporting pseudo-“moderate”/”centrist” Labour-label. Making out that the spending cuts are not really cuts at all. Tell that to people who will now be deprived of much or all of their income because of this Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment (Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves and, of course, Starmer-stein himself).

Others may get more, yes, and more will be spent on keeping alive, sheltered, and fed, useless and hostile migrant-invaders by the million. British people needing help will, in many cases, not get that help, or much of it.

Re. the case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor

Those tweets by James Wilson, the victorious claimant (plaintiff) in the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor, refer to two of the solicitors (perhaps the only two) and barrister (perhaps the only one— I do not know) of the defendants.

As seen, all the lawyers shown are Jewish. All of the defence witnesses were also Jews, as were the defendants (one may have been only part-) .

As far as I know, every last one of the witnesses were Jews. The trial judge assessed those witnesses’ veracity and relevance as having been (in my own words) rock-bottom. Worthless.

One of the witnesses for the defence was the fanatical and obsessed Jew-Zionist barrister and, until dismissed, part-time judge (Recorder), Simon Myerson of Leeds/Manchester, infamous for his nasty and malicious tweets etc.

The successful claimant in that case, Wilson, a Northern English academic, did well to stand up to the usual Jew-Zionist “claque” and clique pressure (whereby “they” band together to relentlessly attack a victim).

Well, Wilson won, and now (because notorious Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, was apparently both dishonest and negligent in his handling of the matter, and may also have deliberately misled the Court) at least one of the defendants, Cantor, will probably lose his family home (not that I have any sympathy for him).

Well, if Wilson believes that, and has the evidence (as it seems he may have), he should complain to the Bar Standards Board: https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/for-the-public/reporting-concerns.html.

[“Get down there, where you wanted to send me, you unclean spirit!“]

I had not seen anything from that grifting loonie for a couple of years, as far as I can remember. She tweeted, earlier today, that anyone in the UK who did not (her word) “hate” Elon Musk had an IQ below room temperature. Well, while I myself do not agree with everything Musk says or does, I probably agree more than disagree, and my IQ was once (admittedly 40 years ago) measured at 156— I think that it probably stacks up well enough even today against that of grifting political idiot “Supertanskiii” (though one can almost admire someone who has made a living for years doing little but swearing online at “the Tories“, albeit that she has also been able to get State monies via the benefits system).

I have not heard so much from that kind of online pseudo-political “grifter” recently.

Fraudulent fake “cook”, “Jack Monroe”, has been comprehensively exposed and become obscure (I doubt that her rubbish ever appears in newspapers or major magazines any more); that Jewish fraud from Essex calling himself “Man Behaving Dadly”, Simon-something (Harris?), has apparently disappeared too, he having conned naive Essex County Council out of over £600,000.

Others have also seen their brief time of influence ebb away, such as non-practising medical doctor and facemask purveyor, Julia Grace Patterson. That one has now, it seems, almost given up trying to make money out of online “grifting”, and has not tweeted since November 2024, though she remains on the pathetic “Blue Sky” site, and has most recently (late 2024) been flogging Christmas cards online (while still pretending to be an active NHS doctor and health “activist”).

As I predicted a year ago, those sort of pseudo-political fake “activists” have found that their modus operandi of pretending to be tribunes of the people against the (admittedly) wicked “Tories” cuts little ice now that the said “Tories” have been replaced by a fake “Labour” government as bad as, or worse than, the “Conservatives” they replaced.

[Matt Goodwin]

The tipping point may have been reached for Reform UK, and also for the once-great Conservative Party. Only time will tell. It is natural for people to assume that large political organizations, states, religions etc go on for ever. Not so.

Having seen a bit of what happened in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when socialism died across Europe and elsewhere, I know that large structures can indeed collapse rather unexpectedly, albeit after long periods of slow preparatory weakness.

When you look at who votes or intends to vote Conservative now, you are really looking, mainly looking, at retired people or people close to retirement.

People who have seen Britain, certainly British cities and towns, turn from being white (i.e. British) to being largely black and brown (etc).

People who have seen large social and economic enterprises (water supply, railways, telephone system, bus network, Royal Mail etc), whatever faults they had, become often unresponsive and failing private-profit bodies.

People who have seen the great institutions of the State fail, and continue to fail, badly— police, courts, judges, legal system, prisons, NHS, border control, immigration control, Army, Navy, Air Force. Civil Service. Royal Family too. All useless, or rapidly becoming so.

What is the rotting head of that failure? The political system, Parliament, MPs, and the now-ludicrous House of Lords.

So when those people go to vote, how will they vote, those disenchanted, angry, let-down people, especially those aged 50+? Not for Labour, which (as I said on the blog for years) has become mainly the party of the “blacks and browns” and in general those dependent on the State for money and/or employment. Only the naive and fairly comfortably-off, in certain places, vote LibDem.

Conservative MPs mismanaged the UK for 14 years 2010-2025. Huge immigration, including the continuing “small boats” invasion. NHS failures. The “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic. Much else besides.

The only reason many older people stuck with the Conservative Party was the State Pension “triple lock”. Then the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, reneged on that (for one year), though he reinstated it the following year. I think that that badly damaged trust.

In my judgment, things are now so bad in the UK and, importantly, seen to be getting worse, and rapidly, that many are willing to leave their old habits and loyalties behind, and to vote Reform. By no means only former Con Party voters. Labour ones too. Look at the case of Lee Anderson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Anderson_(British_politician).

So who is really going to vote “Conservative” in 2028 or 2029? I should say mainly those who are old or very old, who are set in their ways and in their habitual loyalties and, of those, who are fairly comfortably-off in their retirement, and whose local areas have not (yet) been badly-affected by migration-invasion etc.

I do not think that msm commentators have quite factored-in the significance of the Con Party now having a non-white leader. Yes, not the first one, but then look at Sunak’s electoral meltdown.

I would have put that middle-aged/elderly Con-voting group, and or with others willing to vote Con, as adding up to somewhere around 20% of the voting population (General Election 2024— 23.7%) but now I am inclined to think that, by 2028/2029, it may be as low as 15%. On that basis, the Conservative Party may be at the end of the line.

Using Electoral Calculus, and with Con 15%, Labour 25%, LibDem 15%, Greens 10%, and Reform UK 30% (its likely maximum), that would result in a House of Commons with 330 Reform MPs, 163 Lab, 72 LibDem, 20 Con, 4 Green (etc). Reform Commons majority.

Were Reform to get a lesser vote (25%), the result would change to Reform 220, Lab 208, LibDem 76, Con 49 (etc). Still no comfort for the Con Party; only fourth party in Commons.

The Conservatives would have to get 20% overall even to stay where they now are (121 seats). I doubt they will do it.

“At a record low of -54, the Labour government’s approval rating is virtually identical to the final approval rating of Rishi Sunak’s government, which was -56. Just before Sunak left office, 15% approved of his government. Currently, 14% approve of Labour. (Source: @YouGov)”

That tweeter is the ex-wife of an MP removed last year by the voters. For over three decades, she herself worked for him at Westminster, generously paid out of his Parliamentary expenses. She seems to be pro-immigration, pro-Israel, and anti-Russian, inter alia. Seems to be rather bitter in several ways. She is also wrong in most of her (evidently strongly-held) political judgments.

Certainly, so far as the Ukraine situation is concerned, Russia will not accept NATO forces there, even if under “peacekeeping” auspices. Anyway, contrary to that tweeter’s assertion, Russia need not accept any such forces. Russia is, slowly, winning, advancing daily in most parts of eastern Ukraine.

The war will conclude once Russia has occupied all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper. Why then would Russia accept “peacekeepers” who would be NATO troops under another label? Not the USA? Not the very weak UK. Not Germany. Once Macron stops trying to grandstand as a latter-day Napoleon, not France, either.

I do agree, overall, with the tweeter mentioned, though, about the CCHQ tweet below:

“Culture” or society does matter, in my view, but very few will look at Kemi Badenoch and think “now that’s the kind of person who should be Prime Minister“…

As mentioned on the blog earlier today, I can see the Conservative Party ending up with 10, 20, 30 MPs a few years down the line.

Senator van Hollen obviously has no idea how Roosevelt ripped off the British Empire in various ways, not least by turning the Caribbean, at the time (pre-1941) pretty much a British lake, into what it later became and still is, basically an American sphere of influence, albeit nominally in co-operation with the UK.

The USA also took over, steadily, but after WW2, much of British industry and commerce internationally.

Interesting to hear Patrick O’Flynn [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_O%27Flynn], former UKIP MEP and journalist, use the term “System” as I do on the blog (as when he says, there, “System people“). Is he one of the politicians and commentators who peruse my views, or is that simple co-incidence?

Unpleasantness ran and runs right though “New Labour”, and Starmer-Labour is just a pointless, meaningless offshoot of Blair-Brown “New Labour”.

Bastani is right, of course, about the appallingly-low quality of MPs. Since 1997 and, particularly, 2010 (and as often said by me on the blog), that fact is inescapable. Not just in fake Labour though; also true of the fake “Conservative” Party, and fake “Liberal Democrat” Party (remember Jo Swinson?).

Reform UK is “controlled opposition”, of course, but is moving the Overton Window. When that has moved far enough, social nationalism can enter the arena.

Blast from the past: the “Mrs Duffy” moment in 2010

Mrs Duffy, uneducated, “ignorant” etc, knew far more than “educated” fake “big brain”, globalist puppet Gordon Brown. In the past 15 years, her superior understanding of the mass immigration crisis (if not put in a very polished way, so be it) still resonates —in fact, more than even in 2010— whereas Gordon Brown is just a washed-up System politician now exposed as far from the great mind he (and his tendentious wife/carer/psychiatric nurse) thought.

Aaron Bastani is far from my position, ideologically. Having said that, he often speaks the truth as he sees it.

Both Lab and Con parties, the main two System parties, are losing all credibility; the LibDems, as “dustbin” or “default alternative” party, never had much to lose.

Trump, and Trump’s White House

Of course, it is easy to see the Trump White House as a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, looking at recent tweets etc (see below)

Looks as though Musk should have a word with the child’s nanny. The child seems short on good manners. (I have to admit that it made me laugh, though; look at Trump’s expression!).

Very odd. Where did the child hear that, to regurgitate it?

That scene really does seem mad, disorderly.

On the other hand, until Trump took over, the international situation, and several regional issues, seemed stuck in glacial mud. He has disrupted that pattern. As psychologists say, a “pattern-interrupt”.

It may seem absurd to want to buy Greenland, annex Canada, and turn the Jew-Zionist-devastated Gazan hellscape into a Mediterranean beach resort, but all of those ideas have at least made people think about alternative realities.

To compare Trump’s disruptive ideas to the campaigns of Alexander the Great may seem to stretch “first time tragedy, second time farce“, in the famous comment of Marx, to breaking point, but history is sometimes moved by ideas that seemed absurd.

Look at the state of Israel itself. When Herzl and others first came up with the idea of Israel as a state, they were just a few Jews in the lower strata of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires. Their ideas seemed crazed, and they themselves had no genuine ancestral link to Palestine, which was then one of the poorer provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Also, the Ottoman Empire might have been “the sick man of Europe” but it sat there, apparently immovable in its vast power.

Is Trump trying to make his Gaza plan (“Club Trump?) seem more credible by hiding it among even crazier-seeming plans? One thinks of stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and E.W. Hornung.

Where do you hide a pebble? On a beach. Where do you hide a murder? Among other apparently-similar murders. Where do you, as a fugitive person, hide? Not in isolated places but in a big city. So where do you hide your plan to seize Gaza? Among other apparently-mad plans.

A paranoid analysis, possibly; also, though, possibly, accurate.

Trump cannot realistically seize Canada. He cannot, either, seize Greenland, not without smashing NATO to pieces. He could, however, take over Gaza. The Israelis (quelle surprise) seem open to the idea. After all, from where would come most if not all inhabitants of the proposed Club Trump, Club Gaza? Israel, of course, or Jew-Zionist settlers from places such as New York City.

“Greater Israel”, in some form, seems more than a mere “conspiracy theory”.

When Trump was serving out his first term, this blog described him as “a loudly-squawking parrot in a gilded cage, guarded by a phalanx of Jews“, and that remains broadly the case, but perhaps less so in this second term. Trump no longer needs the Jewish lobby or Israel lobby for political purposes, though he would not want to make an enemy of them either, whether for political or business reasons.

Trump may be thinking in terms of “legacy”, especially after the assassination attempt(s).

Looks as though Trump is also determined to bring an end to the war in and around Ukraine. He must know that the quickest way to do that is to restrict or stop money, arms, and ammunition flowing to the Kiev regime.

That “charity” was set up by Rory Stewart himself. His wife was an employee of his prior to their marriage. I believe that she was married or engaged to someone else at the time. She is half-Jewish, I believe. See also:

Will Rory Stewart MP Be Prime Minister?

My assessment of Stewart, published in 2019 and updated over the years, has proven to be fairly popular with readers. He himself is part-Jew, incidentally, a fact of which I admit I was unaware until an alert blog reader sent information (read the published assessment).

As for Stewart’s wife and that “artwork” etc, funny how “they” are always around when degenerate influences are promoted.

Also, Paddington was a lone bear, i.e. not an army of tens of millions, quite apart from the fact that he was a work of fantasy children’s fiction.

Zelensky is living on borrowed time. How long before tidal waves of tanks roll into Kiev?

As soon as the money/arms/ammunition tap is shut off, or the flow reduced to a trickle, the Kiev regime will just implode. “Ukraine” is not a real state at all.

It always looks ludicrous when “British” politicians of today try to play the “war leader and statesman” card, even when they have some underwhelming “military experience”; neither Sunak nor Starmer have any at all. Neither, of course, has Maria Eagle, a former solicitor best known as MP for having been an expenses cheat [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Eagle#Expenses_controversy].

Maria Eagle is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, of course.

Look and learn. When “they” have power, as in Russia/Soviet Union after the Bolshevik “Revolution” (coup d’etat).

If some of the Palestinian Arabs sometimes do monstrous things, as on the day or two before the Israeli attack on Gaza in 2023, it is because they have been made monstrous by, mainly, Jewish/Israeli behaviour.

As with Reform UK in this country, not really my preference in an ideal world, but better than all the other main choices at present.

That might translate into a Commons with 276 Reform UK MPs! Also, according to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] 139 Lab, 108 Con, 59 LibDem, 4 green, 40 SNP; 24 others.

Still no majority (50 short), but I imagine that, under those circumstances, some Con MPs would defect, and others support ad hoc.

Were Reform to be able to get even one extra point, to 30%, then, even with other figures unchanged, its MP cadre would be around 298 (Lab 129, Con 95, LibDem 60).

Were Reform on 30% and Cons a point lower than in the opinion poll, i.e. on 20%, Reform would have 318 MPs, 8 short of a majority but with very close to a working majority. The Cons, though would have only 75 MPs.

For the long-established Conservative Party, effectively terminal. Not even the official Opposition. Maybe not even the third party.

Tim Montgomerie has recently opined that the Conservative Party might be expiring; for once, I agree with him. Or does he, belatedly, agree with me?

Fake “Labour” will decline but not so far or so fast, because about 20%, maybe more, of the electorate is now black/brown, and that percentage will increase inexorably, because few white/British children are being born. Virtually all the births now are from the ethnic minorities (who, within half a century, will certainly be the majority, unless action is taken to prevent that). They all vote Labour; at least 90% of them do.

Opinion polls suggest that among those aged 18-24, only about 5%, if that, vote Conservative; about 80% vote Labour. Who are those young voters? Largely, the non-whites.

As the Dad’s Army character used to say (about inserting cold steel into the fuzzie-wuzzies) “they don’t like it up them!“

Rory Stewart, as “Conservative” Party MP, voted for all the mean-spirited social-security/”welfare” cuts of the 2010-2015 Cameron-Levita misgovernment. Now his (or his wife’s, which is effectively the same) far more generous “welfare” has been cut back, it’s all unfair and wrong, apparently.

Ha ha…

Can that be true? £840,000 a year for such rubbish? Unpleasant Alastair Campbell presumably getting even more. For that? Doesn’t seem possible.

In this country, in these times, anything is possible, I suppose. If so, though, who or what is really funding it all?

Death and rebirth of a culture

The following short essay from the American online publication National Vanguard was sent to me by a reader of the blog:

“Stalingrad and the Death of the West

SOMETIMES A MOMENTOUS event occurs whose significance is not recognized at the time but only becomes apparent later. So it was with the surrender of the last German defenders of the Stalingrad pocket on Feb. 2, 1943. At the time, every observer understood that it was a fatal turning point in the Second World War — after Stalingrad, a German victory by the force of arms was impossible. All the Soviets and the Allies had to do was to ignore their casualties and grind through to the finish.

But in retrospect, we can see that the defeat at Stalingrad was more than just the defeat of Adolf Hitler and National Socialist Germany: It was the beginning of the end of Western civilization. The 82 years that have passed since then have revealed this. What we are experiencing now — and will continue to experience in the decades ahead — is merely the winding down of a civilization and culture that has lasted 1,000 years. Had Hitler prevailed in the War, he would have revitalized Western civilization and extended its life another two or three hundred years — perhaps even the thousand years that he himself predicted. But Hitler did not prevail, and so the fate of the West was sealed.

One of the first to recognize the true significance of Stalingrad was the French author Louis-Ferdinand Céline, who said:

It’s Stalingrad. How’s that for catharsis! The fall of Stalingrad is the finish of Europe. There was a cataclysm. The core of it all was Stalingrad. There you can say it was finished and well-finished, the White civilization.

We agree with Céline — up to a point. What was “well finished” was not White civilization as a racial phenomenon but only the Western incarnation of White culture.

Adolf Hitler noted in Mein Kampf:

Every defeat can become the father of a subsequent victory, every lost war the cause of a later resurgence, every hardship the fertilization of human energy; and from every oppression the forces for a new spiritual rebirth can come — as long as the blood is kept pure. (Vol. I, Ch. 11, p. 327 Manheim; p. 605 Dalton; S/ 359)

That the West is doomed is beyond question. Yet, as long as there are Aryans of pure blood in the Universe, our culture and civilization can continue. That is what we National Socialists fight for today: not to preserve the rotting corpse of Western civilization but for the new racial rebirth of Aryandom that shall follow it!“

Cruelty to animals: James Garnor, parish councillor, of Whittlebury, Northamptonshire

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14371831/Shocking-moment-cat-blown-parish-councillor-village-accused-detonating-explosives-remote-control.html

“A family cat in a quaint Northamptonshire village has been left traumatised after allegedly being targeted in a firework attack by a local parish councillor. 

The shocking incident, captured on video, shows the cat being blasted after stepping into a birdhouse rigged with explosives.

The attack is believed to have been carried out by Councillor James Garnor, and is one of at least two such occurrences that took place in the village of Whittlebury.

It has been reported that Mr Garnor used remote-controlled devices to detonate explosives aimed at the animals.

Police were alerted in October 2023 when a local resident filed a complaint about the April 2023 attack. 

While Garnor attended a voluntary interview and was shown footage of the April 9 incident, the authorities ultimately decided there was insufficient evidence to press criminal charges. Instead, he was addressed under anti-social behaviour legislation.

Nikki the owner of the attacked cat, Suki, has spoken about the disturbing effect the attack has had on the animal which suffered visible injuries such as singed whiskers.“

Such behaviour is still not appropriately punished in this country.

The individual and the collective— free speech

Free Speech: Individuality and Collectivity

In two minds about that. First of all, the farmers may be notionally anti-socialist, but that never stops them from accepting all the subsidies and other freebies they can get, and they are not only ungrateful for getting heavily subsidised in the first place but also constantly demand more.

On the other hand, the farmers are one of the last few bastions of Britishness. Few are black, brown, Jewish, Muslim etc.

The German people should, before all else, demand repeal of all “holocaust” “denial” laws (and similar repressive laws), which criminalize free expression, and inhibit examination of history.

Until that is done, untruth will continue to permeate German history and public life.

True enough, but the main attack on free speech in the UK comes from the Jewish or Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, and I never hear Matt Goodwin or Farage (etc) saying anything about that.

At what point does the encroaching slow-motion dictatorship programme become impossible to counter by merely “peaceful” means?

You cannot even take items to the local rubbish dump without booking a slot. Absurd.

“Maria Zakharova ridiculed British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy’s claim that “the British-Ukrainian partnership goes back thousands of years.” ” The roots of this friendship go back to the foot of the Egyptian pyramids? Why so little? They even hunted brontosauruses together ,” Zakharova joked.

During a visit to Kiev, David Lemmy stated that “Kiev princesses were marrying British princes” a thousand years ago.”

Lammy personifies the old Russian proverb, “an ape in a silk suit is still an ape“…(incidentally, that proverb was not originally meant to reference blacks, because there were none in Russia until the 20thC and even today they are few; it was basically metaphorical).

Here is “diversity-hire”, thick-as-two-short-planks, Lammy making a fool of himself once again, this time on Celebrity Mastermind:

Ha ha! Evergreen…

Incidentally, Ukraine only became a nominally independent state in 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Its entire previous history was as part of the Russian state or its predecessor, Rus, though parts of Western Ukraine were within the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries.

Lammy is a total embarrassment as Foreign Secretary, but Starmer cannot easily sack him, having appointed him. Why? Because he is black. Simply that.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14364119/Woke-jobs-NHS-hospitals-123-000-year-despite-Ministers-vowing-crack-control-diversity-drives.html

“The NHS has advertised almost a dozen ‘woke‘ jobs within the last few weeks, including one equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) role paying almost £123,000, MailOnline can reveal.

The recruitment drive comes days after Health Secretary Wes Streeting warned diversity and inclusion in the NHS has gone too far with some staff now promoting ‘anti-whiteness’ within the health service.

The Associate Dean with responsibility for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion role, advertised by NHS England, is based in the South West and comes with a salary of £122,470.

The salary is equivalent to the entry-level pay of up to three NHS doctors or four nurses. 

According to the job description, the successful candidate can work from home 60 per cent of the time and will be responsible for ensuring medical students from different backgrounds have equal opportunities.”

Wrong in every way. In any case, white English/British staff should have greater opportunities, because they are part of the UK’s proper folk-community.

British people find it hard to access peanuts-level State benefits, but a foreign migrant-invader, who entered this country on a fraudulent basis, is given £100,000! She should not even be here! You really could not make up what is happening in this country.

Incidentally, look at the readers’ comments on that Daily Mail report. It is only a thousand or more years of slow accretion of patience, and belief in a society under law, that is preventing a socio-political explosion in the UK (so far).

If you go into a shop in, say, Egypt, a small shop that in the UK (if owned by real British people) would probably have one or two people, maybe three at most, but probably one or two, working there, you will find that the owner has half a dozen people working there, probably related to him in some way. Open long hours, perhaps, and the people there doing little individually. Paid peanuts, of course. Likewise, offices.

The present Attorney-General is one Hermer, a Jew who is or was closely tied-up with the Jewish “antifascist” cabal known as Searchlight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Hermer,_Baron_Hermer#Early_life,_family_and_education; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searchlight_(magazine).

On those figures, the House of Commons might look like this: Reform UK 256, Labour 217, LibDems 78, Conservatives 43, Greens 6 (SNP 19 etc).

That would mean either a weak minority Reform government, or an exceptionally-weak Labour minority government backed by LibDems, SNP and other minor parties.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Arguably the most interesting aspect of the latest polling is the apparent continuing collapse of the Conservative Party (predicted, of course, on this blog). Not only 4th placed, after the LibDems in 3rd, but with little better than half as many MPs as the LibDems.

I read today that CCHQ may be unable to pay the rent on its office building. I would not be surprised to see quite a few Con Party MPs now jump to Reform in the hope of being accepted as candidates for the seats they currently occupy as “Conservatives”. I wonder how many will be deemed acceptable. If they delay too long crossing the line, they may not be accepted.

I was interested to read that article on the Conservative Home website. The comments were 95% or more pro-Reform and anti-Con Party.

“Blimey. Simon Myerson KC chattin’ about other barristers apologising and showing a lack of judgement. A judge decided Myerson engaged in “disgraceful abuse” of me and I’m still waiting for Myerson’s apology. It’s all covered in my next S-stack post out tomorrow. Link in bio.”

[James Wilson]

You will get no “apology” from Myerson. “They” always like to extract “apologies” from their enemies or opponents; they see that as victory (and humiliation for those “apologizing”).

Their instincts are, of course, not those of the European.

As Corbyn noted, years ago, “they” also usually lack a sense of irony, likewise the ability to see themselves.

Myerson was sacked as a p/t judge (“Recorder”) last year for his inability to stop savagely insulting others online. In short, he was found to lack the proper judgment required of those who aspire to sit on the Bench.

Speed-dial, surely?…

Double Twit Time

Saw two silly twits on Sky News earlier, being interviewed separately. The first was someone called General Shirreff (retired) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Shirreff], who thinks that war with Russia is all but inevitable, that the UK should double or triple the amount it spends on armed services in all ways, and that it is essential for the UK to back up “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev).

I find it disturbing that an officer previously at such a high rank and with such heavy responsibilities until retirement should actually think that Britain should embroil itself even further in the brutal, shambolic, and corrupt Kiev-regime war, and try to confront Russia in Eastern Europe.

Come to that, the UK should also have steered clear of a number of other late-19thC and early 20thC conflicts: the Balkan war(s) of the 1990s, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Libyan uprising.

President Kennedy said, of General Curtis LeMay [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_LeMay], that, in a war requiring an all-out attack, you would want LeMay commanding the first wave of the bomber force, but that he was the last person who should decide whether there should be a war at all. Having heard General Shirreff’s attempt at geopolitical argument, I rather think that that is also my view of General Shirreff.

Any war with Russia would leave what is left of this country, and worth defending, in ruins. Irradiated ruins, over which those of us who survive will crawl in misery. Nein danke!

As for the other twit seen this evening, one Alex Chalk [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Chalk].

The said Chalk, who lost his Commons seat in 2024, was briefly Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice under Sunak. My thoughts about him, having now heard him (I was only peripherally aware of his existence, previously) relate more to his ideas about how to fund the justice system than to his actual decisions when in high office. He wants even more cuts to the “welfare” (social security) budget, and for that money to be directed to the courts, legal professions, prisons etc. A rehash of 2010-2015 “austerity” nonsense, in short, but with money given to the legal and justice system (and defence). He seemed a smug bastard, rather full of himself. Again, nein danke!

There comes a point when many people wonder whether we still have much worth “defending”. In fact, I think that many have already reached such a conclusion, which is why recruitment to the armed forces has become a thorny issue. I saw an ad for the Army today, showing an entirely black platoon in the field. Has the Army given up trying to recruit real British people?

In my own mind, knowing two or three people, previously healthy, who (having been multiply-“vaccinated” by the anti-“Covid” poison) have had to endure heart bypasses etc, I have no doubt that the sane thing to do is to avoid being dosed with this pharmaceutical effluent. I avoided the supposed “vaccines” and am very glad I did.

Doubt that I now count as anything other than one of the “newly-poor”, really; I used to use Waitrose often, about 4x a week, but over the past 15 years, especially the last 5 years, the quality of produce has worsened (much worse than Tesco, or even Lidl) and the once-stellar service from always-pleasant staff of all ages has deteriorated to the point of no return. I therefore rarely use Waitrose now.

My local area has a Marks & Spencer food store, and there is a Tesco 5 miles away, a Lidl and Aldi about the same distance. I like Lidl for its foreign products’ weeks, mainly, when they sell such as Polish sour-cherry juice, Greek feta etc.

As for free coffee, when you have to take your own cup in, the offer becomes much less attractive.

Ha ha! Ridiculous System talking head blames online retailer for selling a knife used by a non-white crazie to attack a child. That is so typical of Britain today.

In the past, if a shop sold a knife, or even a firearm, later used by some criminal or lunatic to hurt or kill some one else, the criminal or lunatic was blamed, not the retailer!

The James O’Brien type (a type found not only in the msm, but also among the more self-deluding part of the public) is desperate not to blame the influx of backward populations, aka “the diversity”, for crimes of that type. Oh, no, it must be the fault of those selling knives!

I wanted to buy a knife (for more usual purposes) recently, in Tesco (I think it was). Sorry, we no longer sell knives…

When will this madness end? When “the diversity” are chucked out, I suppose, and not until then.

Actually, I do not blame only the criminal or lunatic— I blame also those responsible for importing backward populations into Europe, including the UK.

A Few Words About Mike Stuchbery

The “most immediate” threats to the British people are internal, not external— the migration invasion, the degeneracy of the mainstream media, the Jew-Zionist lobby, the Islamist/Muslim lobby, and the increasingly feral British population itself.

Russia is no threat to the UK. More specifically, Russia will only be a threat to the UK if NWO/ZOG/NATO keeps pushing for war.

(so much for their claims to be ancient, or to have any real connection to the Jews or Israelites mentioned in the Bible)…

“Here’s how all Zionist arguments collapse upon the slightest examination: “We were here first”: no, the Canaanites were, and many Palestinians have Canaanite DNA (& Jewish DNA as well, per Ben Gurion himself). Now prove yourself each of you is a direct descendant of someone who inhabited this land!

“We’re returning to our homeland” so said the French & Italians in Libya & Algeria “we are returning to & recovering Roman lands.” “But the West Bank is ours b/c of the bible”, that’s not how international law works, its utmost principle is a prohibition on acquisition of territory by force; i.e. you can’t just steal land by conquest & military power anymore!

“God promised it to us”; a) good luck arguing this in court. B) then why did he take it away from you for 2000 years? “We had a Jewish kingdom on this land for about 250 years”: and Muslims have been sovereign on this land for 1400 years! Does Greece have a right today to occupy Turkey’s Istanbul/Constantinople b/c it was once part of the Byzantine empire?

“The world gave us Israel in 1947”: no they didn’t & they don’t have the right to! The UN then had only 57 members out of 193 member states today. Even then, & despite intense US/Zionist lobbying & intimidation, only 33 states voted for (mostly white) the Partition Plan as a proposal. The partition resolution was never voted on at the UN Security Council.

“But we were persecuted in Europe for centuries culminating with the Holocaust”: but why should I pay the price of European savagery & antisemitism?

“We have a right to return 2,000 years later”, then why doesn’t my grandma have that right only 76 years later?

That’s why no state has a “right to exist”. Because who/what gave them that right?

Despite all this, Palestinians unrequitedly recognised Israel over 3 decades ago, accepted its existence as a fait accompli, & accepted less than 22% of our homeland; & that is called today “Palestinian maximalism/rejectionism”, while Israel offering us caged bantustans worse than apartheid South Africa is call “a generous offer”!

[Ashkenazic Jews in Jerusalem, c. 1885. God’s sake! Just look at them!]

“New research suggests that the majority of the world’s modern Jewish population is descended mainly from people from ancient Turkey, rather than predominantly from elsewhere in the Middle East.

The new research suggests that most of the Jewish population of northern and eastern Europe – normally known as Ashkenazic Jews – are the descendants of Greeks, Iranians and others who colonized what is now northern Turkey more than 2000 years ago and were then converted to Judaism, probably in the first few centuries AD by Jews from Persia. At that stage, the Persian Empire was home to the world’s largest Jewish communities.

According to research carried out by the geneticist, Dr Eran Elhaik of the University of Sheffield, over 90 per cent of Ashkenazic ancestors come from that converted partially Greek-originating ancient community in north-east Turkey.“

Three facts: Libya was better under Gaddafi. Iraq was better under Saddam Hussein. Syria was better under Assad.

Not that any of the three leaders mentioned was a particularly pleasant or “good” person, and all did very unpleasant or “bad” things, but we should decide matters of politics and geopolitics on the basis of what is the least-worst situation for populations and the world as a whole, not on the basis of unrealistic hopes (leading to violent chaos).

In fact, you can add Adolf Hitler and Germany to the list.

Could Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet be less competent?

Box-ticking former bureaucrat lawyer Starmer himself, Rachel Reeves the fake “economist” (aka “Rachel from Accounts” and/or the customer complaints dept, Halifax Building Society), “Refugees Welcome” idiot, expenses cheat and would-be dictator, Yvette Cooper, thick-as-two-short-planks “Deputy Prime Minister” Angela Rayner (and the rest).

It has already, after 6 months, got to the point where it is glaringly obvious that this fake “Labour” government has no more competence, indeed maybe even less, than had those of Sunak, Truss, “Boris”-idiot, May, and Cameron-Levita.

https://twitter.com/JLPartnersPolls/status/1873089335463125097

Interesting. The best aspect of that, were it to happen, would be the dismay amid the “woke” rabble of new Starmer-Labour MPs, over 150 of them, as they lose their seats and are forced to contemplate having to go back to doing mundane and probably badly-paid jobs again.

Fox has been, perhaps is still on, a socio-political journey, starting off as unthinking System-loyalist, then as conservative-inclined immigration sceptic (but pro-Israel, pro the Jewish lobby etc), and now seems to be moving towards a more social-national position, like many others.

[American-oriented but still relevant to British socio-political attitudes]

Europe’s largest economies, from 1961 to 2024. Interesting to see how some of the countries have improved or downgraded. Turkey, in particular, registered growth in the mid-sections of the list; East Germany/DDR was fairly high until the 1980s, when it fell like a stone. West Germany was high, and indeed at the top even before it absorbed the Eastern part in the 1990s, and has been pre-eminent since then. The Soviet Union as a whole was the largest economy overall for some time, but fell back in the 1980s, after which Russia started to climb, despite missing the other former Soviet republics, and has for some time been one of the five strongest economies (overall), in the top five. The UK has been in the top five consistently.

Of course, were that graphic to be expressed per capita rather than in gross terms, the situation would look very different.

Even after the Art Deco era, America was pre-eminent in terms of confident presentation at least, until the 1960s. Look, e.g., at a film such as North by Northwest (1959), with its ambience of, inter alia, Modern Movement architecture, as well as, later in the film, the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright.

That refers to the egregiously poor, dishonest, and negligent behaviour exhibited by “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who is now supposedly domiciled in Israel, though he seems to spend much of his time in the UK, either making money out of clients (who seem rather poorly served), or thinking up stunts to publicize “antisemitism” and at the same time make money out of possible “compensation” (as in the failed stunt at the Reginald D. Hunter show at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, when he cooked up a plot with his wife, Mandy Blumenthal, and Daily Mail junior scribbler Sabrina Miller). See

My own opinion is that, after the contrived Jew-Zionist storm that ensued after the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal reprimanded Lewis and fined him in 2018, the SRA is running a bit scared of the Jew-Zionist lobby and their characteristic contrived “claque” behaviour.

Not again?! Simon Myerson getting the facts and the law muddled again! What a team he and “Mark Lewis Lawyer” would make! Oh, no, wait…

Well, Myerson was sacked as a Recorder (p/t judge) after not very long. As for “KC”, I have noted before on the blog how it signifies not very much these days: in 1938, the later Lord Denning took silk, with three others, I believe, but in 2024 no less than one hundred silks (KCs) were appointed. “More will mean worse“, as Kingsley Amis said once in another context.

That idiot seriously thinks that Britain was “dominant“, internationally, about 24 years ago! What planet is he on? Britain was then not only within the trammels of the EU etc, but was the “poodle” of the then Bush jnr. administration in the United States.

It really is about time that the British people demanded a lot more from the “security and intelligence” bods, or just dumped them, or most of them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Younger.

What has weakened Britain has been a combination of the migration-invasion, together with the changing demographics of the UK, the sliding standards in all areas of society, cultural degeneration, and the domination of the UK’s government, political life, courts, policing and mass media, inter alia, by the Israel lobby. Oh, and the near-collapse and uselessness of our armed forces (etc).

The “CAA” cabal, effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, can be called (as blogged about in the past) a malicious little cabal. They threaten a lot, suborn police and CPS officials, are a damned nuisance, but accomplish little even by their own standards.

They should not, of course, be treated as a charity. For one thing, they are directly political; for another, the activity of the “CAA” exhibits no “public benefit”.

Is that true (about Myerson being a heavy drinker)? I have no idea, though if true it might partly explain his vituperative social media activity, which was at least part of the reason he was sacked (sub nom “resigned”) as a Recorder earlier in 2024. He certainly seems to stay up late, tweeting. Drinking too? As I say, I have no idea.

Saw an episode which had the former MP and Cabinet minister Justine Greening on one team. Her ignorance, though frankly unsurprising to me, should be regarded as shocking in a former Cabinet minister. She even thought that Fulham is south of the river Thames!

Strange woman. Once involved with the ghastly mixed-race “Conservative” activist and notorious bully, Mark Clarke (featured in the past on the blog and now, like Justine Greening herself, politically —and maybe otherwise— washed-up). I read that she is now what the Russians call a “lesbianka“, though that may or may not be the case.
