The split in the post-1945 Atlantic alliance becomes ever more apparent.

That would be the best for the people of Ukraine.

MPs, ministers, msm scribblers and talking heads, and heads of charities facilitating migration invasion are or should be held criminally and personally responsible for the consequences of their treachery.

[“Netherlands Admits Military Reserves Have Been Depleted Due to Aid to Ukraine

According to Military Watch Magazine, the Dutch Ministry of Defense has concluded that military assistance to Kyiv is undermining the combat readiness of the Dutch armed forces and making it more difficult for the country to fulfill its NATO obligations.

The ministry has declined to publicly disclose which NATO targets have been postponed or affected, or to provide details on the current combat readiness of individual Dutch military units. The admission highlights the growing tension between supplying Ukraine with military equipment and maintaining national reserves at levels considered necessary for a major conflict.

According to the ministry, by February 2026, the Netherlands will have provided Ukraine with approximately €11.7 billion in military assistance. The publication also claims that weapons stockpiles across NATO’s European members have been severely depleted, with shortages particularly affecting artillery ammunition, air-defense missiles, anti-tank weapons, and armored vehicles.

Europe is discovering the hard way that weapons sent abroad don’t magically regenerate back home. The bill for rebuilding those stockpiles could be just as serious as the bill for the aid itself.“]

[“Researchers at Stanford University say that, contrary to claims and expectations from the U.S. government and major business leaders, their independent analysis indicates that China could soon catch up with—and potentially surpass—the United States in the development of advanced artificial intelligence models.

The researchers argue that the gap between the two countries is narrowing rapidly, challenging the assumption that the United States will maintain a lasting lead in the global AI race.

The AI race is starting to look less like a marathon and more like a photo finish—with China closing the gap fast.“]

That is, I think, a signal that, should the European states get into a direct war situation with Russia, those European states will not be able to rely on American back-up.

She herself is neither English (that’s unarguable) nor, in any real sense, British. Her parents deliberately came to London for a few weeks so that she could be born in the UK and, as the law was in 1981, then be entitled later on to a British passport (that bad law was changed in 1982, so she only just scraped in before the portcullis was lowered). She then lived in Nigeria and the USA until she was 16 or 17. She is no more British than I am Nigerian.

Her children (who are of mixed-race) likewise.

That is a small taste of what the British people have coming down the tracks at them unless a social-national government, or one very similar, does not seize power pretty soon.

As already blogged…

Having said that, and incidentally, that AI-produced (?) picture of Kemi Badenoch in her supposed ancestral type of dress makes her look a lot better than usual. I have noticed in the past that black women usually look much better in that kind of colourful get-up.

Seems an underestimate anyway. Of course, the “small boat” arrivals are only ~5% of the whole migration invasion. Multiply those figures by about 20, and you get a better idea. Half a million to a million. Every single year.

Our society is already showing stress; by 2030, it may be showing clear signs of terminal stress.

Interesting. Had never seen, nor heard of, that.

Must add up to a massive amount. When I was a barrister, I drafted, at times, contracts for the transhipment of oil from the Middle East to black Africa. Each shipment was worth over USD $80M, and that was over 20 years ago. So maybe USD $150M today. If Iran is getting 20% of the value of every shipload, each one is worth perhaps USD $30M in “transit fees” to Iran. There might be several in a day even under present conditions.

[“Leonkov: Great Britain is gradually getting drawn into a direct conflict with Russia.

IF THERE IS A MAJOR ESCALATION, THE FIRST TARGETS WILL BE BRITISH FACTORIES THAT PRODUCE DRONES AND ROCKETS FOR KYIV.

Boris Johnson, who just the other day claimed he hadn’t started a war, has returned to his old tune: “We must continue bombing Russian oil refineries and power plants. Ukraine is on the verge of victory. Don’t slow down the sale of weapons (to Kyiv).“

Only three countries still believe that Ukraine is capable of confronting Russia: Great Britain, France, and Germany. However, even within those countries, voices are being heard that the conflict, in which Zelensky must remain in power until 2028, is costing them too much.

According to Western estimates, Ukrainian armed forces’ air strikes on Russia in July alone cost them $11 billion. Zelensky is spending a lot of money on these attacks, but his Western sponsors are not satisfied with the results. Everyone understands that Ukraine is losing.”]

There is no way of either proving or disproving my belief that “Boris” Johnson is getting paid large amounts offshore by the Kiev regime and (ipso facto) its backers (to promote the regime by promoting the Western support for it). It stacks up quite well logically, though, knowing what we know of the Kiev regime, its leading members, and the character of Johnson himself.

[“Medvedev: The most important event for Russia will be victory over Western and NATO forces.

He told Iranian state television that he was referring to the forces that are using Ukraine against Russia.

He particularly emphasized that Ukraine, if it wants a political solution, must officially recognize its neutral and non-nuclear status, abandon its nationalist course, and recognize the territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, as well as the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions as Russian territories.

He also stated that Kyiv must stop the persecution of the Russian language and return to the principles outlined in the Ukrainian Declaration on Sovereignty from the 1990s.“]

Idiot. How did he ever get to such a high position?

I suppose he or his family knew the right people.

Worth watching/listening to that. Appalling behaviour by Israeli Jew operatives (MOSSAD etc).

Israeli/Jewish influence/power in the USA (and the UK is not very much better, though at least the public is waking up at last).

The American and British taxpayers are subsidizing their own oppressors. In the UK, it becomes more blatant every year.

I doubt that anyone would vote for that dim careerist woman; anyway, the Conservative Party is probably going to lose even the seats (maybe half of them) that it has at present.

Should be taught in schools, both in the USA and UK (but of course will not be, so long as the System rules).

Of course, the money is just a way-station. Power is their objective; to rule the world via money, via the money power.

Interesting travel vlog

As before with those vloggers, there is a certain naivety. For example, they buy two baseball-type military caps with Chinese red stars, and wear them for a while. They would not wear caps with swastika emblems, nor even hammer and sickle emblems, probably.

What always strikes me about such vlogs about China is the scale of the engineering and architecture. The airports and railway stations put Europe, certainly the UK, to shame, frankly. The hotels and cafeterias as well. While I always have in the back of my mind the disregard the Chinese often seem to have for animal welfare (and, sometimes, human rights as well), it cannot be denied that China has leapt ahead in the past 20-40 years.

Another thing that struck me, but about the vlogging couple themselves, is how dependent they are on their mobile telephones. They pay for almost everything, from taxis to hotels, to railways and airline tickets, to food, even snacks such as crisps, using their telephones. One wonders where they would be were they to lose the devices, or have them stolen. Seems insecure, somehow. They even have apps or whatever to interpret for them in various languages.

Of course, I am a sceptic: I had a mobile telephone before most people, in 1993, and I had to have one when I worked as a barrister, but for the past many years have not had one, and do not really need one (I hope). My car has an emergency help facility built in, if I were to break down (unlikely) or have a crash. Have never had to test that out though; hopefully, it works…

Taiwan looks almost deserted in that vlog, despite having 23M people in a country half the size of Scotland. I suppose the main populations live in or around Taipei, in the north. The vloggers are in the west, having arrived from mainland China on a small ferry.

Ah, I see now that I mistook where they were, not on the main island of Taiwan at all, but on Kinmen Island, a very small part of Taiwan that is only about 2 miles from mainland China.

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

Interesting that the mainland Chinese have not invaded that small island. They must be following the maxim of Sun Tzu, “to win without war…this is the supreme excellence“. A saying we in Europe might ponder. There is no overt Chinese aggression towards Europe, but we do see increasing numbers of Chinese living in parts of Europe, not least the UK. Millions of them.

I believe that border areas of Russia, in the (once Chinese) far-eastern parts known from the 1930s to the early 1990s as the Soviet Far East, have seen seepage of Chinese (farmers, traders etc) coming to live there.

Another vlog from the same couple

As with their previous vlog posts about Iran, interesting to see aspects of everyday life there not usually seen on the UK/Western mass media.

Incredible carpet shop in Isfahan. Even less expected, a great hotel (albeit rather glitzy) in the same city.

All such rioters should be executed in the field, as soon as seen and designated.

So people earning £100,000+ per year are in need of State-subsidized childcare? The Nigerian idiot is even more of an idiot than I had previously thought. £100,000 p.a. (pre-tax) is scarcely a fortune, but it is still 2x-3x what most people are paid in the UK, and 8x-10x what many have to live on.

Also, the lady tweeter is right. The nexus “work hard/high pay” is not at all as firm as many believe.

Kemi Badenoch thinks that all the unemployed are “feckless drunks“. She was caught saying it. Not only very arrogant and dismissive, but actually wrong. Only a small minority are feckless drunks.

I think that you can see there the Nigerian woman’s background coming out. She, after all, is not English and, except that she has a British passport because her parents came to have her born in London so that she could later get a Brit passport (as the law was until 1982), is not in any real sense British. She was brought up in Nigeria and then the USA. She only came here as a teenager of 16-17. Her attitudes are basically pseudo-“libertarian” American, not British or indeed European.

Well, this week a fairly poor 4/10, (or 4.5/10 if using the scoring of of political journalist John Rentoul, who awarded himself “2.5/10”).

Typical. The vast monies effectively gifted to the Arabs (all the Arab oil states, not just the Saudis) by the West (whose people discovered the oil —and gas— and drilled for it, refined it, provided the markets for it, and shipped it) have been mainly wasted.

Look at Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait etc. Bearing in mind the money poured in, pitiful: poorly-designed and laid out, and with political and legal structures which are largely still in the 8th Century; and that is before you even look at their backward religious tendencies.

A thought out of season

I have been trying to avoid the seemingly endless recent msm coverage of whether the present King did or did not make a dismissive comment to Princess Diana’s brother, the present Earl Spencer, about the Prince’s then recently ex-wife in 1997.

The same goes for the similar blanket coverage of the return of the prodigal waste of space (the Harry formerly known as Prince) and Meghan Mulatta.

It occurs to me how typical all that hullabaloo is of Britain today, a country that is always looking back, not forward.

I myself have no interest at all in whether the then Prince Charles did or did not make the comment complained of. Likewise, I have no interest in whether or not “Harry”, Meghan Mulatta, and their offspring relocate to Sussex or anywhere else.

At the other end of the social scale, we have seen, again quite recently, the football stadium incident, Hillsborough, still making political news 37 years after it happened!

Britain once looked forward, but now mainly looks back, and mainly looks at very minor events or incidents (in the big scheme of things), or looks back with rose-tinted or blurred glasses.

The reason is obvious— Britain, unless it changes radically very very soon, has no future, at least not one any white Northern European wishes to live in.

Britain should leave NATO, and cultivate closer relations with Russia. This is not 1939. Britain would be irredeemably devastated, irradiated, poisoned, and finished off should even one or two of Russia’s 7,000 nuclear weapons hit our little islands.

“If I wuz a rich man…”…

I blogged about loonie New Zealand woman “Rachel from Piddington” yesterday. A white woman with black “partner” and mixed-race children who thinks that any danger to herself and the 350 other villagers of Piddington (Oxfordshire) emanates from English protesters (mostly her fellow-villagers) and not from the (up to) 3,500 black and brown migrant invaders from the most backward parts of the world, invaders who are soon going to be dumped very near that village.

(BBC and officialdom claims “only” 1,250 invaders will be dumped there, but that is probably a lie; 3,500 has also been mentioned).

This is what we mean by “migration invasion”.

[“The thing you have to remember about Third Worldism is that it is not confined to a particular race, religion or class. My critique, which is now totally mainstream and has spread like wildfire, is all-encompassing.

There are plenty of White Third Worlders from white-majority countries like Romania and Albania. There are White Third Worlders who are native Brits, like the idiot NGO blobocrats in Piddington, or Gypsy and Traveller groups who indulge in crime and clan-based violence. There are also non-White people from the Indian subcontinent who are fleeing their countries to escape Third Worldism. I respect these people and have no beef with them.

The Third Worldist critique will obviously involve visa bans from Third World countries, but it will also involve a recognition that this tendency is not confined to a particular race or religion. The key is very draconian laws to prevent such people from entering our society.

What about White Third Worlders? Well, punish them. I have zero solidarity with these people despite them sharing an ethnic heritage with me.”]

As the tweeter implies, Gypsies from mainland Europe (eg Roma from Romania) are not themselves white or European, being originally of Indian origin. Real Romanians despise them, and even the socialist government there from the late 1940s to 1989 found it impossible to get them to live decently.

Incidentally, I still see newspapers in the UK referring to the many Roma Gypsies committing every type of crime in the UK as “Romanian“, just because they have Romanian passports, which is a terrible slur on the real Romanians.

Britain 2026

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16144141/Illegal-migrant-Deliveroo-rider-raped-woman-dragged-street.html

“An illegal migrant Deliveroo rider who dragged a woman off the street ‘like a ragdoll’ before raping her has been jailed for 21 years.

Following the vicious assault, which left his victim feeling ‘destroyed’, Salem Rekoub, 28, was caught on CCTV wearing his turquoise uniform and smirking as he followed her ambulance to hospital, because he wanted to ‘get to the woman again’.

Rekoub, who was dubbed a public danger by the judge, arrived in Britain on a tourist visa in 2023. He did not have the right to work in the UK.”

The bastard should be put up against a wall. In public. Wall. Squad. End.

As with so many cases of the sort, the victim was intoxicated in public, incapable by reason of drink.

Perhaps “Rachel from Piddington” would like to read that report. That is just one migrant-invader bastard. 3,500 others may soon be living alongside her village. If she is OK with that, she really is loonie, even by the standards of so many New Zealand women.

Incidentally, the vlog post below was just sent to me by a blog reader. It echoes, in part, what I wrote on the blog a day or so ago:

The “looming threat” of war comes entirely from the “Western” (NWO/ZOG) side. Russia is reacting to “Western” aggression, in particular the arming and funding of the corrupt Zelensky Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug dictatorship in Kiev. In the well-worn phrase, “don’t poke the Bear“…

Goodwin is right to say “who will fight for Britain?“, meaning for the present decadent set-up in the UK. Obviously not the blacks and browns. Obviously not the Muslim element. Obviously not the Jewish element. That leaves real British men (women are still rarely on or near the front-line, if that term still means anything in an age of hypersonic nuclear missiles).

Why should British men fight for what Britain is becoming, a society that demonizes them for being white European (and even male)?

There is also the point that many of the younger Brits have been brainwashed at state schools and even fee-paying schools with what amounts to anti-British propaganda, “Black Lives Matter” rubbish etc. They have been told that there is little to be proud of in British history, except the war against the German Reich (ironically, one of the most negative aspects of our national history).

[“Urals oil exceeds $110 per barrel – fuel shortages begin in Europe

Russian Urals oil in Western ports has risen above $110 per barrel – the highest level since April. The increase is supported by high demand and expensive Brent crude.

In France, fuel shortages have begun at gas stations. Macron has demanded that the government implement “full mobilization” to ensure supplies and control prices, amid calls for protests. In Poland, Prime Minister Donald Tusk is warning of possible record-high fuel prices. He says that prices could soon reach levels that previously seemed impossible.“]

The BBC found the one inhabitant of Piddington village who thinks English protesters, and the 350 English villagers around her, more of a threat to the village and herself than thousands of black and brown migrant-invaders (all male) .

Turns out that she is a loonie and socio-politically tendentious woman (I think maybe Australian or New Zealand origin, probably the latter), who apparently has 2 mixed-race children, having been “knocked-up” at some point by a black.

Seems that I was right; looks like my ear for accents and languages has not yet deserted me:

I have no idea why, but I have yet to meet a New Zealand woman, and I have met many, who is not a giant pain in the ****.

Why that should be, I do not know, but they all seem to be very feministic, very politically-correct/”woke”, very judgmental, and —every single one— a complete waste of space. Must be something to do with the education offered over there.

I do not know personally, neither have I ever met, NWO/ZOG political puppet and former NZ PM, Jacinda Ardern, but I believe that she is exactly the same, from what I have seen of her in the msm etc.

The woman featured seems unable to distinguish between the villagers tolerating her, her black “partner” (probably a West Indian), and her mixed-race children, and the same villagers (about 350 in number) being invaded by between 1,500 and 3,500 black and brown men from the most backward parts of the world.

Still, what does that mean when Russia has untold, but certainly tens of thousands, of conventional missiles, up to 7,000 nuclear weapons, and also the ability to place thousands of drones in the field in any 24-hour period?

Also, if Germany provides Patriot missiles to the Kiev regime, those missiles will not be available for German use, if push comes to shove.

Israel is doomed, at least in the medium term.

I do not much like female politicians, but those are better than most.

-Advising vulnerable girls on wearing breast binders

-Defending men who want to ‘chest feed’ babies

-Telling children that, if they are left infertile after transitioning, they can always get a surrogate to carry a baby for them

-A CEO who has said that ‘transwomen’ should be “celebrated”

-A webpage which reads as a roadmap to transitioning

-Trans flags flying in its counselling rooms

-Enlisting children to make pride flags for marches

-Selling ideological reading material through its online shop

-A Head of Childline, Shaun Friel, who said that it is a “privilege” to work with children “coming out” regarding their “gender identity”

In fact, there have been serious doubts about the NSPCC and similar and associated bodies for decades. The behaviour of many staff has been appalling, as in the “Orkney witchhunt” case, in which families were torn apart in a situation akin to the Salem witch trials of 330 years ago: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trials; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkney_child_abuse_scandal; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_satanic_ritual_abuse_allegations#Rochdale

As a matter of fact, I should say that one of the most prominent facts about Britain in 2026 is the widely-held belief that “wishing makes it so.“

I am not only referring to the epidemic of fake “trans” persons etc. You see the syndrome all over the place. For example, the belief that ever-more impressive exam results in schools and colleges mean that students are ever-more educated and/or intelligent.

The same is true of the ever-greater numbers of “graduates”, the same being found everywhere now in low-level retail jobs, call centre jobs, all sorts of poorly-paid, low-skill jobs.

Another example: the belief that Britain is a nation (leave that aside for now) which can face down or successfully fight Russia. That belief requires its believers (retired senior military desk-officers, quite a number of MPs, thousands if not hundreds of thousands of middleaged/elderly Daily Express and Daily Mail readers etc) to believe that a country (the UK) with a very small —and frankly now not very impressive— army/navy/air force, and about 50 at-any-time-usable nuclear missiles can “defeat” (if “defeat” has any meaning in the nuclear age), or at least hold, a country (Russia) 72x the size, with twice the population, with massive armed forces and, most importantly, as many as 7,000 nuclear weapons, some of which cannot be intercepted or stopped.

Another example: that Britain can continue to allow the importation of millions of racially and culturally backward individuals while maintaining the level of, or even improving the level of, society here (cultural norms, services, pay, State benefits, environment etc). It is more than mistaken; it is actually mad, yet millions of people [want to] believe it.

For me, at least some of the pervasive untruth around had its genesis in the “holocaust” farrago spread out since 1945 and particularly the past 40 years. In particular, the “gas chambers” fable.

Untruth has pervaded our society and so poisoned it, and its politics.

Angela Rayner is herself a personification of sleaze (also ignorance).

Farage himself is not particularly popular, not particularly liked or respected. However, as frequently noted on the blog, Farage’s and Reform’s best point is not anything Reform or Farage may do, or may have done, but the state of the traditional System parties. They also are not much liked or respected. People are voting against them, not for Reform or, even less, for Farage himself.

Look at the opinion polls: Reform and Labour both in the low/mid 20s, around 25%. The Conservative Party a few points below that level.

After the fall of the Kiev regime, Zelensky must be brought to Russia for trial. If that should prove impossible, he should be eliminated in the field.

Our animal friends.

I examined Macron’s very peculiar background on the blog 7 years ago, in 2019: see

[“Lavrov: Ukraine no longer exists – it has abandoned all the principles for which we recognized it as a state.

“THE KYIV REGIME HAS ERASED THE LEGAL FOUNDATIONS ON WHICH MOSCOW RECOGNIZED UKRAINE.”

Sergey LAVROV: “Russia will not pause its special operation during the peace process in Ukraine. If Vladimir Zelensky wants a meeting, let him come to Moscow. That is already a significant gesture of goodwill on our part. Because he has not yet canceled his decree banning negotiations.”

Russia recognized Ukraine at the time of the collapse of the USSR based on its Declaration of Independence from 1990. In that document, the Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian parliament) pledged that the country would be non-nuclear, neutral, and non-aligned. The Kyiv regime is currently ignoring all three of these fundamental commitments, effectively nullifying the old agreements between the countries.“]

Ukraine has never really been a state. In its past 35 years of nominal statehood, it has always been a fake state and/or failed state. Now, it exists purely by reason of Western resupply of arms, ammunition, and money. Take those away, and it falls within a month, possibly within a week.

Israeli Jew war criminal. It would be wonderful if a missile landed on him and his evil tribe.

Britain should be cultivating better relations with Russia and, as one result, getting cheap gas and maybe also oil from Russia, as well as a huge market for British goods and services.

I think that his character is shown in his features.

Reform’s biggest and best point has nothing to do with Reform itself but with the hatred and contempt felt nationwide against LibLabCon.

Get the bastard up against a wall. Wall. Squad. End.

To me, that shows mainly that “Who-He?” Burnham has no very interesting ideas or policies, is seen as boring (even if less offensive than Starmer-stein) and is also seen as merely a “continuity Labour-label” and (in real political terms) unmandated Prime Minister, a Prime Minister in name only.

As to Owen Jones, the now-affluent “licensed Bolshevik” pseudo-revolutionary, I assessed him on the blog many years ago: see

Fairly interesting vlog post about North Korea (mainly Pyongyang)

A near-autarky in a fairly small country (smaller than England, one-and-a-half times the size of Scotland) is hard to implement successfully. Then of course there is the lack of personal freedom aspect.

I was struck by the depth of the Pyongyang metro system, at over 300 ft deep about 3 or 4 times, or more, the depth of most of the London Underground (the deepest London station is Hampstead, just under 200 ft deep).

Presumably, the Pyongyang metro is also meant to be a mass bomb shelter.

…and one about Japan

A different perspective than the usual.

Not something I myself support as such but, on the other hand, such a result would weaken the grip of “the usual suspects” (((them))), and also make Britain’s membership of NATO untenable. Swings and roundabouts.

Those smaller units (Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) are not really economically viable as states (once what amounts to English subsidy is withdrawn), but could nonetheless become states politically; their populations would, however, have to accept radically lower living standards forever as a result.

England would become far better off economically, especially once the population becomes fully or almost-fully European.

It is absurd to the point of ludicrousness that that uncultured, uneducated, really rather dim “chavscum” woman, with her “vapes”, tattoos etc, should be a member of a British Cabinet. I myself find it almost unbelievable, even taking into account how decadent and washed-up this country now is.

Critcizes Farage and Reform etc, yet her own party, fake “Labour”, has taken money from every kind of sleazy moneybags, not to mention having been tied up, via Mandelson, with Epstein and other criminal Jews.

Angela Rayner herself was, not very long ago, shovelling into her handbag bribe-monies for clothes, trips here and there, even entry to louche vulgar nightclubs in Ibiza.

Another idiot, someone who wants to lead (from the rear?) as the tiny army, navy, and air force of the UK take on the might —and it is still might— of Russia (and China?), Russia alone having anything up to 7,000 nuclear weapons, including some that cannot be intercepted, and which could reduce London and indeed South Shropshire (his own constituency) to a charred irradiated ruin within something like half an hour.

Anderson at least has military experience (for 9 years aged 16-25, i.e. 1992- 2001), but only at private-soldier level (apparently, he also has a diploma, more recently earned, in Defence Studies, from some institute or other).

I notice that he is a (former) alcoholic, has struggled with mental health in the past, and is a member of some cranky evangelical sect, more or less a cult: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Church.

Also noticed, that Anderson has been both a failed businessman and a bit of an expenses blodger: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Anderson_(politician).

Anderson will probably not be an MP after the next general election. Last time, in 2024, his vote-share was 34.1%, the LibDem received 31%, and the Reform candidate 17.8%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Shropshire_(constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Not entirely seriously, perhaps he should form his own volunteer regiment, with himself as colonel of that regiment, Kemi Badenoch as honorary colonel-in-chief, and a rank-and-file consisting of South Shropshire pensioners (Conservative Party voters). The cap badge could be a (charred and irradiated) golly on a stick.

Excellent. Excellent.

If both USA and EU stop funding that terrible war —and the rest of the EU would have to follow suit if Germany pulls back— then the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev will collapse for sure, and rather rapidly.

Shove Ursula von der Leyen onto her broomstick and kick her into orbit (or obit).

Devil’s alternative: if Burnham goes to the people this year, Labour will lose, probably, 100-150 MPs, maybe more, but if he waits until 2029, barring some very unlikely uptick, Labour might lose 200, or even more.

[“Look at Dan Hodges and former columnist David Aaronovitch. They want you to think that even discussing demographic change in Britain’s schools is “racist”. They are completely out of touch. Imagine going to Japan and saying the native Japanese will soon be a minority but if you talk about it you’re racist. We are allowed to discuss what is happening in our own country, in our home. And I for one will never stop speaking up for the silent majority. That might be why so many people read our newsletter. Because they want the truth. They can see much of the commentariat is a joke.”]

For me, it is, as already said, ludicrous that some uneducated, uncultured, dishonest, freeloading “chavscum” woman should even be an MP, let alone in Cabinet. Still, that’s where we are now, ruled over by absolute trash.

The woman is basically a brainless bimbo.

Similar in uselessness. A Nigerian woman who is only here because her parents deliberately had her born here so that, under the law as it was in 1981, she would later have the “right” to have a British passport.

Both Lab and Con are treacherous and pointless, as well as both being puppets of (((the usual suspects))).

The migrant-invaders do not usually commit crimes immediately. Most wait until they have been settled (by the treacherous Government and local councils etc) into their new taxpayer-paid-for accommodation (whether hotel or a council property that should be for —real— British people only).

As Enoch Powell said, yet even he could not have known of the depths that would be plumbed after his death, “we must be mad, literally mad” to allow this invasion.

Death of a nobody

https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2026/sep/01/hrh-helch-the-graffiti-artist-who-left-an-indelible-mark-on-high-rise-britain

Why does it not surprise me that a disgusting vandal, a graffiti “artist”, who has died at 34 of causes not as yet made public (my two main guesses being either from drug overdose, or from suicide because the said “artist” vandal realized that, despite daubing his chosen name everywhere —I see that his real name was something else— he was a nobody) is eulogized by a Jewish scribbler in the Guardian?

As a matter of fact, I myself have never seen his graffiti anywhere.

Graffiti has been around a long time. There are examples from the times of the Romans, and even the ancient Egyptians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti. The degree to which it has been tolerated, historically, is a matter of dispute.

The fact is that modern graffiti can only be described as criminal visual violence, a fact implied by the Guardian’s Jewish scribbler, when, at the end of his little piece, he expresses his liking for the fact that it costs people much money to remove the meaningless scrawls (passing as art, at least to cretins).

The graffiti vandal is seeking to impose his assumed name on the public, to be therefore somehow “known”, a well-known “somebody”. In the end, though, most graffiti “art” is the realm of the untalented, the nobodies.

See also: https://metro.co.uk/2026/08/30/mysterious-graffiti-legend-helch-upset-queen-elizabeth-dies-29495835/ (another scribbler apparently impressed by both the deceased and the graffiti “community”).

Incidentally, while I do usually abide by the Latin maxim de mortuis nihil nisi bonum (“of the dead, nothing but good“), there are —and have to be— exceptions.

The mainstream media outlets are suffused with decadence. They should be purged.

When mainstream people with a platform start promoting the decadent and/or evil, society is sliding (as happened in Russia before the Revolution, incidentally). It has been ever more obvious post-1945 that that is the way America, Britain, indeed the West generally, has been going (and much of the world has followed suit).

[“The now-famous photograph of an SAS operator on January 15, 2019. A single member of the UK’s 22 SAS Regiment moving to respond to a terrorist attack on the DusitD2 Hotel complex in Nairobi, Kenya.

He was in the country teaching foreign internal defense to Kenyan special forces when al-Shabaab attackers hit the complex, grenades first, then a suicide vest, then gunfire on the guests inside. There was no time to form a proper team and nothing more than the kit he was already wearing.

He entered the compound alone, balaclava on, a shield badge identifying him as law enforcement to those he passed. He joined Dan Prastalo, a Slovenian with the diplomatic protective services, and the two of them started clearing the office block and car-park buildings floor by floor while the attack was still underway.

The siege lasted more than 12 hours before Kenyan forces declared the site secure. 21 civilians died. For what he did that day he later received the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross, Britain’s second highest award for gallantry in action. Unusually for a serving SAS soldier, his name eventually became public: Christian Craighead.

One man, on his own, in another country, with no order sending him in and every reason to stay out. He went in anyway.

“Who Dares Wins“]

The right stuff…

What goes around comes around. It is basic. If the malicious idiots posing as political leaders in France, the UK, Germany etc keep hitting Russia, using the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev as proxy then, sooner or later, Russia will hit back, either directly or indirectly.

Why is that apparently so hard for some people to understand?

Germany should regard the Leipzig-Halle Airport attack as a kind of “Gypsy’s warning”.

[“Iran has not yet revealed its full military potential.

According to available information, Iran’s military arsenals already include tactical nuclear warheads, and these are not newly developed models. It is claimed that the corresponding systems were developed and produced much earlier.

Iran also possesses particularly powerful non-nuclear missile warheads. One such system has unofficially been dubbed the “Resurrection Bomb.” Its warhead weighs approximately four tons and has a high destructive power.

Previously, the adversary, it is claimed, obtained intelligence about the alleged location of tactical nuclear warheads and struck the corresponding facility. However, the information provided turned out to be incorrect, and the alleged storage facility was not hit.

According to these reports, tactical nuclear warheads are present in significant quantities and are integrated into the country’s existing missile capabilities.

Therefore, the current exchange of missile strikes is seen as only a limited portion of the available capabilities. The main potential may be used in the event of an immediate threat to the existence of the state.

In such a scenario, according to the available data, Iran possesses both particularly powerful missile systems and tactical nuclear warheads. That is why, when it is said that Iran has not yet used its full military potential, this should be taken literally.“]

[“Putin: We have liberated Svyatogorsk, and strikes on British military facilities are a military secret.

He clarified: Units of our Central Group are advancing in various key areas and are conducting street fighting in Dobropolye, an important logistical hub. We have also reached the eastern suburbs of Slaviansk and Kramatorsk, and the southern suburbs of Druzhkovka. Our army is only 12 kilometers from the bypass road around the city of Sumy and is creating a security zone in the border areas of the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.

“Moscow wants to achieve a lasting, absolute peace. We will not freeze the war; we want to end it.“]

Britain should leave NATO, regain independent control of its nuclear deterrent force, get cost-price gas from Russia, find a massive new market for British goods and services in the Russian and Russophone space, and cultivate far closer relations with Russia and the Russian people.

Starmer-stein will no doubt be found a lucrative non-job by the Jewish lobby/Israel lobby. He is just a monkey-on-a-stick, one of many.

[“Keir Starmer said on Tuesday he was resigning as the MP for the Holborn and St Pancras seat in London after 11 years,

Saturday quiz

This week, political journalist John Rentoul scored one of his rare victories over me: his score was 6/10, mine only 5./10 (and two of those were guesses). My correct answers were numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, and 8.

Talking point

It is rare for me to see the tweets of ex-officer and military-history writer Adrian Weale; even rarer for me to agree with any. Still, credit where due; I saw two yesterday (including 2 retweets) with both of which I agreed…

The first such tweet (and retweet) seen (referring to the effective dismissal of an academic for speaking sense about Jason Arday and similar matters):

See also:

The second tweet (and retweet), which also refers to the Jason Arday nonsense at Cambridge:

[“I think what’s happened is that, for a variety of reasons, the academy has lost the sense of what it is there for, which is to act as the guardian and proponent of best intellectual practice.

Much of that is because of the Gramscian ‘march through the institutions’ which has taken place over the last 80 years or so, which has had a devastating effect. Importing Marxian and Neo-Marxian dogma into the academy was guaranteed to dumb it down catastrophically and has left us, in the social sciences at least, with a self-marking come-as-you-are party for some of the most illiberal, narcissistic, corrupt perverts and weirdos ever to obtain academic tenure.”]

Britain in 2026

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/crime-spree-pensioner-kicked-robbery-37605890

“A sacked care worker broke into his former patients’ homes to rob them and kicked a blind wheelchair user in spate of robberies days after he lost his job.

Ediongseyene Essien broke into the homes of four elderly and disabled victims the day after he was suspended from work, even smashing down the back door of a petrified couple in their 80s to steal their money. Weeks later, Essien pretended to still be another ex-patient’s carer before kicking him to force his way into the home.

Laura Atherton, prosecuting, said the occupant, a wheelchair user and former patient of the defendant, was in bed when Essien gained entry by using a key stored in a coded safe outside the property. He subsequently took the man’s bank card, which was later used to make a series of purchases at Bargain Booze and L7 Village Market in Fairfield.

Earlier that same day, Essien was said to have called at the home of an 88 year old woman and her 85 year old husband, also a wheelchair user, at around 3pm and let himself in before departing. He returned at 9pm and began “ringing the doorbell and waving through the window” before coming back roughly 20 minutes later, at which point he kicked at the back door until he succeeded in smashing a glass pane.

The female occupant was left screaming for help as a result, with Essien having stolen the man’s wallet, which contained £200, before fleeing. In a statement read to the court on her behalf, she described how the ordeal had “completely devastated their lives”. She added: “We welcomed this man into our house and treated him with nothing but kindness and trust. To have this trust betrayed is heartbreaking.

“The feeling of absolute helplessness in that moment was truly awful. My home, which I loved and cherished, is no longer my safe place. Due to our age, disabilities and severe mobility issues, we are unable to leave the house. We are trapped in the very place this trauma occurred. He robbed an elderly couple of their peace, comfort and safety in their final years.”

Essien was arrested in relation to this series of burglaries before being released on bail, after which he turned up at the home of a blind cerebral palsy sufferer in Edge Hill shortly after 2pm on May 15. Having assumed that someone repeatedly pressing his doorbell was one of his carers, the occupant made his way to his front door in his wheelchair before explaining that he had cancelled his scheduled visits for that day.

Essien insisted he had been “sent to check on” the man and proceeded to force his way inside, kicking the victim out of the way as he did so. He then rushed in and took £90 in cash before fleeing the property.

This victim described in his own statement how he had “not slept properly since” and was now “very nervous and anxious”. With his aunt, whom he had previously lived with for 30 years, having passed away in March of this year, he added: “I just hope he doesn’t get away with it. I’m very wary of new carers. I’m scared he will come back.”

At approximately 5pm the same day, Essien then targeted a “highly vulnerable” woman who was “small in stature” as she made her way home after visiting a nearby shop.

He snatched her handbag, which contained £40 in cash and her bank cards, “forcefully pulling it from her grasp” when she attempted to fend him off with her walking stick.

Her shopping bag was torn during the struggle, sending its contents scattering across the pavement. She told the court in her statement: “I’ve lost any independence I had before. I used to go out to the local shop and attend various community activities.

“As a result of this, I’ve felt very anxious at even the thought of going out on my own. I have to ask staff in my supported accommodation to go out to the shop for me. I’m a very vulnerable person. I feel that the person has seen me as an easy target, which is why he’s attacked me. I fear someone will see me as an easy target again.

Essien admitted two counts of robbery, four of burglary and a charge of fraud. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool, he was seen holding his head in his hands before he was jailed for eight years and handed restraining orders which will ban him from contacting his victims for the next decade.“

[defendant]

A useless and in fact dangerous low-IQ parasite, let into the UK by “dirty democratic politicians”, in Hitler’s well-known description.

The judge was told that, upon serving a third of his sentence, the defendant would probably be deported. Maybe so (I wonder, though), but I say don’t send it back to Africa. Put it up against a wall. In public.

We, the ever-dwindling real people of these islands, have to retake control, whatever it takes.

I wonder what today’s equivalent would be. I certainly doubt that reality has much crept in, reading how the trashier parts of the Press (Daily Express, Daily Mail, Daily Star etc) are enthusiastically advising their (mostly pensioner-) readers about plans to introduce conscription and food rationing by reason of the “Russian threat” (which only exists because UK governments have been provoking Russia since at least 2014 —and, arguably, since 1991).

MAFF was the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food until 2002.

Officialdom , the Westminster monkeyhouse, and the msm in the UK seem to think (or pretend to the public) that fighting a war against Russia (a Russia with ~7,000 nuclear weapons, apart from anything else) and when the UK these days scarcely has an army, navy, or air force, will be a slightly updated version of the Battle of Britain, the Normandy Landings, El Alamein, or even the Western Front circa 1916.

Regular readers of the blog know my views on this: take away Zelensky’s ricebowl, focus on improving relations with Russia, leave NATO, arrange for cost-price gas and maybe oil from Russia, and find in Russia a massive market for UK goods and services (even more so if the EU states and Americans continue to apply punitive sanctions against Russia).

Britain still has a nuclear deterrent with maybe 150 submarine-launched missiles available (altogether), and that (once the Americans are shown the door) can be, for the first time in decades, a truly independent deterrent, akin to the French force de frappe. A backstop. Enough.

[“One evening in the biting winter cold of 2014, I went down to Maidan with my Ukrainian translator and her mother. It was packed, lively like a festival. “What do you think of all this?” My translator asked me as her mother waved a large Ukrianian flag above her head.

“It won’t end well.” I replied.

After covering Libya, Syria, you get to know the political movements that will only lead a country to ruin. An alliance of foreign money, oligarchs and ultra nationalist extremists was clearly in that bracket.

I asked my translators lovely mother why she supported it. She said something along the lines of “Europe is richer than Russia. And I like going on holiday there.” She had little magnets of the places she’d been to on her fridge. London, Paris, Spain. They were sold a dream of a bright European future.

I was there when a statue of Lenin was pulled down in the late evening. With a truck and some chains. Down it fell and people cheered as it shattered on the ground. I picked up a piece. I think I’ve still got it at home. But most Ukrainians didn’t want their statues pulled down. It wasn’t what it was supposed to be about. Or rather it was. But they didn’t know it.

The East rose. Crimea lost. More statues pulled down. And eight years later, the real slaughter began.

The ukrainians I know have already fled abroad. Those who claim to support Ukraine want them to stay and die.

The dream turned to ashes by the inevitable hammer blow of political reality and great nation politics. People manipulated and left for dead for a misplaced chess move on the geopolitical map.

And those who speak sense are silenced. Sometimes fatally. They’ll silence the wise in order to manipulate the politically illiterate. Then give them flags to wave. And nations fall.

Blame whoever you want. But it’s a hell of tragedy. Other nations beware.”]

[“Decisions are not being thought through”

NATO lacks strategic thinking, according to statements made in Europe. The organization is not prepared to take responsibility for the inevitable retaliatory strikes by Russia against Ukraine, believes Professor Glenn Diesen of the University of Southeast Norway.

“What is the point of escalating the conflict by striking Russian civilian infrastructure, when Moscow far surpasses Kyiv in terms of air power, and Ukraine does not even have adequate air defense? These decisions are not being thought through… The NATO elite always goes from euphoria during reckless escalation to crocodile tears when a retaliatory strike is necessary,” he wrote on social media.”]
