I see all kinds of people claiming that some great tragedy has occurred. Even Andrew Neil. I’m laughing.

Says it all. The so-called anti-Covid “vaccines” are toxic. Take them at your peril.

Why has that building not been obliterated by rocket attack?

Such swaps are a very good thing from the humanitarian point of view.

[“МОСКВА, 19 августа. /ТАСС/. Национальное антикоррупционное бюро Украины (НАБУ) и Специализированная антикоррупционная прокуратура (САП) проводят спецоперацию против преступной группировки во главе с бывшим и действующим депутатами Верховной рады, в состав которой входят сотрудники офиса Владимира Зеленского.”]

The “SAPO” mentioned there is not the Swedish equivalent of Britain’s MI5; it is the specialist anti-corruption prosecution office in Ukraine (which must be busy indeed if it is doing its job…). “NABU” is the general anti-corruption agency in Ukraine (ditto…).

[“Russia is inflicting hundreds of millions of dollars in damage on Ukraine through strikes targeting logistics and businesses, according to The Economist.

For example, according to Dmitry Krymsky, co-owner of the Goodwine chain, Russian strikes have caused approximately $500 million in damage to Ukrainian businesses in just three weeks.

Warehouses, logistics hubs, “Nova Poshta” (a Ukrainian postal service), and now cargo ships in the Black Sea have been targeted.

The ports of Odesa have been particularly affected: after Russia intensified its attacks on shipping, the ports have become “commercially dead,” as The Economist reports.

Another problem is the export of crops. This year, Ukraine needs to sell approximately 50 million tons of grain. If this is not possible, farmers may refuse to plant in the fall, and the potential losses for the industry are estimated at $10-12 billion – about 5% of the country’s GDP.

At the same time, the attacks on logistics are only a prelude to more significant problems: Russia is increasing the production of ballistic missiles, while Ukraine’s air defense capabilities are dwindling.”]

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose this war.

“Engineering and design startups in China are continuing to modify and improve the capabilities of key humanoid robots of the present day.

For example, Symbiosis Robotics has combined a DPC (Dynamic Path Control) control model with a system that uses images from cameras, body position data, and feedback from movements. They have taught the Unitree G1 robot to independently control a go-kart on a track, including steering, using the pedals, and performing controlled drifts on turns.“]

Looks like the long-predicted revolution of the robots (first mooted in the 1920s) is here, or almost here. The AI revolution at the same time. The future is now racing towards us, but what kind of future?

[“Since August 15th, the largest statue of the Virgin Mary in Europe has been located in the Polish village of Konotop.

The 55.6-meter-high structure, installed on a crown-shaped pedestal with a panoramic viewing platform, has been consecrated, and the village’s population of approximately 150 people now hopes for an influx of pilgrims and tourists.“]

Merz is a silly little twerp.

[“Britain has supplied Ukraine with drones with a range of 1,000 km; Lavrov: This is direct participation in the war against Russia.

LAVROV: I WILL BE SORRY FOR BRITAIN IF IT REMAINS WITH UKRAINE UNTIL THE END.

The Sunday Times: Ukrainian armed forces have been using British drones to strike deep into Russian territory for six months. Among them is the Nyan, a jet drone from the British military company BAE Systems.

Russian military expert Rustem KKLUPOV: The Nyan has a range of 230 km and a wingspan of 2.9 meters. It can fly at a speed of 440-500 kilometers and can carry 30 kg of explosives.“]

Britain must stop supplying the Kiev regime with arms, ammunition, and money.

Britain should leave NATO, cultivate better relations with Russia, and take a different path generally.

In return, Britain will get cost-price oil and gas, avoid the possibility of a terrible and probably nuclear war with Russia, and will get a guaranteed market for British goods and services in Russia.

Ha ha. That’s that Jolyon Maugham character, a half-Jew barrister who once practised in revenue law, though he now seems to focus entirely on “woke” political and social causes. His track record with his Good Law Project is, however, poor, to put it at most diplomatic.

Anyone who saw his preening, self-satisfied, yet totally ignorant performances a couple of times on the “alumni” Christmas University Challenge a year or two ago will not be much inclined to listen to his words of “wisdom”, I think…

(and that is before one even considers his appalling behaviour when he battered a fox to death and then boasted online about it).

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

[“In a few weeks, the national populist Alternative for Germany will send shockwaves through Europe by taking power at state elections

It will be a seismic, historic moment for Europe. The ‘firewall’ blocking the AfD will collapse. Europe’s populist wave will reach entirely new heights. EU bureaucrats will likely have a meltdown. There will probably be a renewed push to try and ban the AfD. Why is it happening? The legacy media will once again tell you the AfD are Nazis & extremists. But this is nonsense.

What they won’t tell you is what the political, media, and cultural class has done to Germany. -> Nearly 16 million foreign nationals arrived in the last 10 years alone. -> Some 6.5 million migrants were added to Germany’s population, net, in just a decade. -> The number of people with a migrant background soared from 13 million in 2005 to 21 million today. -> More than one in three 35-year-olds in Germany, 36%, now have a migrant background.

Islamism has also gone mainstream. There were nearly 20 terror attacks over the last decade and at least 10 major attacks thwarted since 2023 alone. ->The total number of Islamist crimes has surged from 134 in 2022 to nearly 1,000 last year -> There are now 28,000 Islamists living in Germany, according to official data/The Times.

Ordinary Germans do not have to live like this. They never asked for demographic change on this scale. And if you ask AfD voters what they think is the top issue facing their country, 82% say immigration.

If you don’t want the AfD winning state elections and leading the NATIONAL polls then end the policy of mass immigration, control the borders, and root out Islamism.”]

I agree in part, but naturally Goodwin does not mention that the migration invasion of Germany (and the rest of Europe, including the UK) has been mainly facilitated by Jewish and Israeli interests and individuals. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

Goodwin says that the AfD are not “Nazis or extremists“. True, but if they were, so much the better!

Deutschland erwache!

Anyway, the problem is not so much “Islamism”, but the typical social and sexual behaviour of so many of the migrant invaders.

Yet the lady tweeter fully “supports” (though born only in 1967) the disastrous Churchill-led war against the German Reich 1939-1945, and she is now pushing, like so many others in and around the polluted UK political swamp, for war with Russia. I wonder how many “boys” and indeed citizens generally, here in the UK will die if that happens? Millions, probably; tens of millions, quite possibly.

I agree with that lady on Tim Montgomerie. The ridiculous fuck-up has been a negative influence on British politics for years, about 20+ years, yet has never been elected to anything, but has just set up fake think tanks (who, or what cabal, put up the money?) and websites (Conservative Home; again, from where came the money?).

He seems to be well-connected, and is always on TV despite having nothing to offer beyond his personal whining and a little party-political gossip.

Montgomerie is somewhere between pathetic and sinister.

Another lying, cheating, freeloading and moneygrubbing MP hypocrite, as well as being a vaping, tattooed, “club”-going chavscum woman. The Westminster monkeyhouse just gets worse.

In Rayner’s case, she has been caught out several times now.

Angela Rayner is now, once again, in the Cabinet, despite her moneygrubbing and freeloading, and despite her complete ignorance.

Again, though, the wider picture is that idiots like Angela Rayner are far more likely to be selected (by the System parties) as candidates for elected office than people such as me. That is just ludicrously wrong. In fact, senseless.

The whole political system in this country is rotten to the core. Cases such as that of Angela Rayner are merely symptoms of a terminal disease.

In fact, that tweeter, “toddy”, is wrong about the chimneysweep children: Parliament started to restrict sending children up chimneys in 1834, passed other legislation in 1840 and thereafter, and completely banned and criminalized the practice in 1875…9 years before the Fabian Society was even founded: https://www.parliament.uk/about/livinheritage/transformingsociety/livinglearning/19thcentury/overview/childrenchimneys.

Oh, and “toddy” is also wrong in thinking that only the wealthy had education in 1884. In the early Victorian period (1840s), formal education for the poor was only found in isolated places, but from the 1840s poor schools were founded. The Education Act 1870 brought in radical change. By 1891, education for poor children was both available and mandatory, and was free of charge. The Fabian Society, founded in 1884, had little or nothing to do with that.

Terrible.

They just do not want to see the elephant in the room— the continuing migration invasion. I have the memoirs of the Labour MP and junior minister, Chris Mullin, A View from the Foothills. In an entry from 2000, he was told by the civil service, upon enquiring as to the availability of council housing, that as much as 75% of the social housing (perhaps in one area) was being occupied by asylum-seekers. That was 26 years ago!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Mullin_(politician)

In a sense, simple arithmetic does the job. Between one million and one and a half million immigrants each year (minus a couple of hundred thousand Brits emigrating to what they hope are still white/European places overseas), minus another modest number of non-Brits leaving, so somewhere between 600,000 and 1,000,000 extra persons in the country, but only 150,000-200,000 dwelling units built (in the past year). Result— a shortfall of at least 400,000 houses and flats each year, and maybe as many as 800,000.

Personally, I am not sorry that the summer is over.

Jews and others in the UK, USA, France etc who support the Israeli armed forces are at least morally complicit in Israel’s war crimes taking place in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and elsewhere. Some of those individuals and collectives are also directly complicit, sending financial aid to Israel, doing business with Israel, and sending young Jews to Israel for training in military skills, unarmed combat etc.

The present faux-“Labour” government is really a Labour Friends of Israel government.

All good points. When I was still a barrister, I occasionally, only very occasionally, had cases of that sort, despite not being at all a criminal specialist.

Incidentally, regular readers will know that I was both wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016, long after I had ceased practice, and by reason of a conspiracy by connected packs of Jews, particularly the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].

For example, a case where a lady (married, young children, living in a private house in a close) was arrested in front of her children at about 0700 hrs because someone in the same little street thought that she might have thrown a stone 2 days previously that might have caused a scratch on the car of the complainant.

No evidence was ever adduced as to whether that car even had a scratch in the first place (it seems not); neither was there any evidence at all that anyone, let alone the lady in question, had thrown anything at all at any car. There was a complete lack of evidence not only as to whether the lady had committed a crime, but even as to whether any crime had actually been committed. There was no evidence, as noted, as to the car having been damaged at all, by any event or action.

Despite all that, Devon and Cornwall police woodentops actually arrested the lady (who, by the way, had no previous convictions), took her to the police station at Exeter, and held her there for 4 hours. She was never interviewed, and was eventually released without charge, left to find her own way back home. Her workplace was not informed of her arrest, and her young daughters had to find their own way to school.

The police these days often, indeed usually, do not do their proper job at all, but then they go completely over the top, especially if they can persuade themselves that “far right” “extremism” (“oooh!“) is involved.

Having said that, though I myself have been bothered at home by police nuisances several times over the past decade (once or twice by real police, once or twice by “PCSO” toy police), and always as a result of malicious complaints made by Jew-Zionists such as “Slitherman”, the liar and perjurer (albeit unconvicted), who is the main spokesperson for the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, I have never been forced to suffer a “dawn raid” or night-time raid, not yet anyway. Indeed, when I was charged with my free speech “crime” in 2023, it was merely by “postal requisition”, i.e. a letter in the post, and I was not interviewed prior to that in relation to the bad-joke alleged “offences”.

[“British military leaders have arranged something in Kyiv. Officially, in front of cameras, and without publicity. This time, the Chief of the British Defence Staff Sir Anthony David Radakin and his future deputy, Chief Marshal of the Air Force Sir Richard John Knighton, came to Kyiv. The British General Staff is working on the participation of the British Air Force in a military mission in western Ukraine to close the airspace.“]

[“So the British state that cannot patrol the Channel, cannot keep order in its own streets, and cannot maintain a functioning Navy somehow has the means to close Ukrainian airspace. The grandeur of empire without the basics of sovereignty. One might almost think our rulers prefer proxy wars abroad to confronting the slow-motion collapse at home.“]

Quite.

Look at those idiots, posing in Kiev in battledress, as if Kiev is in, in some real sense, a war-zone. They look so happy to be filmed with the Jew Zelensky and to find themselves on TV news. Promising to put the UK in the firing line on behalf of a fake state which did not even exist 35 years ago, and with which the UK has no commonality of interest at all.

Meanwhile, the real invasion of the UK continues, and our brave sailors and airmen do nothing to stop it.

Painted ships on a painted ocean. That Radakin person may be an admiral, or indeed a Sea Lord, but what is an admiral of a navy almost without ships? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Navy.

The same applies, mutatis mutandis, to an Air Marshal of an air force with very limited capabilities. In the Second World War, the RAF sometimes used a thousand bombers on a single raid, and lost hundreds overnight. Now, the entire RAF consists of about 200 combat aircraft, if not fewer.

Of course, even more money will be wasted on the Kiev regime, while the UK slides into disorder and need.

Yes. Reform UK, for all its faults (pro-finance-capital, pro-Jewish lobby etc) is, all the same, the only game in town to smash the existing main System parties. Later, after the next general election, the national revolution may devour its own children, and a new reality may emerge.

That translates to a Commons with about 348 Reform UK MPs (a comfortable majority), Labour 118, LibDem 72, Cons 39, and SNP 36 (etc).

Conventional wisdom has it that the Reform lead in the polls will flatten out, and the main System parties will challenge that lead, or come close. I wonder. My sense is that the British people have had enough, and are ready to try something other than what has failed for decades and especially since 1997.

It is not impossible to think that Reform, now on 28% in the latest opinion poll, and which has been as high as 33%-35%, might get up to 35% or even 40%. That really would be an electoral revolution (the 40% figure all but wiping out both Lab and Con).

So much for “sanctions”, which mainly hurt the EU and UK.

…as predicted on this blog. A fairly obvious point, of course, but still one that the lying UK mainstream media concealed.

Israel, and those supporting Israel, deserve to be crushed by the weight of their karmic debt.

The Kiev regime’s front lines are crumbling. Russian forces are slowly advancing in all important areas of the overall front.

Also, we only want real English/British people to breed more. Let’s be clear about that.

Koreans have a long historical memory. In the early 1950s, American bombing killed outright perhaps 300,000 civilians in North Korea. Subsequent starvation and exposure is estimated to have killed several millions (according to American air force general Curtis Le May, 20% of the entire population of the North).

Some may say that the North Koreans would not relate that to the present-day and to their pursuit of nuclear missiles, or have forgotten about what happened 75 years ago. I am not so sure about that.

As always, “they” seek control…

The recent Israeli attack on Iran has no doubt convinced any waverers in Iran that the only meaningful defence against Israeli aggression is to match the Israeli Jews in nuclear capability. Israel has created its own nemesis, as in a Greek tragedy.

One could also imagine Iran employing fleets of drones to exhaust the Israeli air defence shield, then using hundreds, even —in a future year— thousands of powerful conventional-warhead missiles, to overwhelm the remaining Israeli defences and to level the Dimona nuclear site, the Ben-Gurion airport, and Tel Aviv itself, without even having to use nuclear weapons.

Of course, Iran is a long way from Israel (at least 1,200 miles border to border), far beyond the flying distance of most drones at present, though some of the most advanced ones being used in the Ukraine war can reach about 600 miles.

Time will tell, but I think that Israel is doomed.

Not so sure about that. The protests may be at present mostly “peaceful” but the pressure on government comes from the fear that they may well become not-“peaceful”.

In any case, even if all the hotels are closed, the migrant-invaders will not be eliminated but will simply be hidden in the multikulti trash “communities” which now scar much of Britain. The taxpayers will pay out for either social housing or expensive private housing for the invaders.

Most if not all of those cities are already ghastly; God knows what they will be like in 5, 10, 20 years’ time.

[“Liberal commentators like Nelson and Finkelstein are guilty of what philosophers call the moralistic fallacy – the belief that something *cannot* be true simply because it would be morally undesirable if it were. Let’s take their objections one by one: (1) No one is claiming that every illegal migrant is a sex offender. The debate concerns specific cohorts of young men from particular countries and the *higher* statistical risks they bring, not blanket slurs on every individual. Pretending otherwise is a cheap straw man. (2) The phrase “whipping up protest mobs” is dishonest and demagogic. Protest is a democratic right, and the anti-migrant hotel demonstrators are overwhelmingly decent, peaceful, and diverse in background. If anything, these protests are moral, given that successive governments have refused to repeal the Human Rights Act or reopen detention centres… the very measures needed to deliver on their own manifesto promises. (3) No one is “thrilled” by the prospect of ethnic violence. Quite the opposite. The idea fills many of us – myself included, and academics like David Betz – with dread. It is not something we want to happen. But intellectual honesty demands that we take the risk seriously rather than banish it to the realm of taboo. (4) The claim that white Britons face harsher treatment in the courts is a subject that needs proper academic inquiry. But the grooming gangs scandal already provide enough evidence to suggest a form of two-tier justice exists. Columnists like Finkelstein just can’t adapt to the demographic and political realities staring them in the face. They’re stuck in a New Labour/Cameron-era timewarp, clinging to scripts the public has long since stopped buying. They remind me of that tragicomic band Crème Brulee from The League of Gentlemen – especially Les McQueen, forever trapped in nostalgia, boring anyone within earshot with tales of his glory days.”]

We know what may have to happen in the end, but are “not allowed” to discuss it publicly, or to post analysis or comments about it.

In any case, the “rubber boats” invasion is only about 5% of the overall migration problem, which consists of cross-Channel rubber-boat invaders, “students”, “fiancees”, “family members”, fake “tourists”, “key workers” (mostly low-pay employees) and, last but not least, births (to immigrant mothers, to mothers whose parents were immigrants, and to white British women who have been impregnated by non-whites).

Eventually, the future will have to be faced; mass immigration and migration invasion is not the whole of it, though an important part of it. It is also cultural, social, and economic.

I agree. The judge who allowed himself to be “nod-and-wink” told to pass a truly Draconian sentence, as Starmer-stein and Yvette Cooper wanted, thus showed himself unfit to sit in the seat of judgment.

On the blog yesterday, I highlighted the case of two South London thugs convicted a day or two ago of (in one incident) serious theft, grievous or actual (I forget) bodily harm using fists, feet, and a baseball bat, and serious criminal damage (wrecking a car), the victims being a man in his 50s and a pregnant woman.

Incredibly, the judge in that London case gave the defendants (one having serious previous convictions) a suspended sentence, plus a bit of unpaid picking up of litter etc, and rather modest compensation (probably will never be paid). Why? Mainly because (the judge said) the prisons are full to bursting; also because the defendants might be able to access some kind of anger-management bs.

Incidentally, Lucy Connolly may now be “free”, and able to return to her unwell husband and two small children, but will still have to undergo the boredom and silliness of being under probation supervision bs for another 22 months!

One more untermensch to be captured and put on the one-way train…

After Reform— the deluge (real social nationalism).

Incidentally, that poll would translate into a Commons with no less than 434 Reform MPs, 68 Labour, 51 LibDems, 42 SNP and 25 Cons (etc). As near to an electoral revolution as anything.

That refers to the GI Bill brought into law by F.D. Roosevelt. It gives those who have served in the U.S. armed forces free university education, free medical services etc.

In its original form, it did not extend those benefits to those who served in the armed forces of other countries. Seems that Israel has had its puppets in Congress make yet another pro-Jewish-lobby “exception”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill

Russian forces continue to advance steadily, if slowly. The Kiev-regime forces are now incapable of mounting anything beyond a static “hedgehog” defence line, and are incapable of mounting any serious counter-attack, let alone a counter-offensive.

Well, who could have foreseen that?…

Well, I had better not post anything…inflammatory…lest I end up being unjustly imprisoned as Lucy Connolly was…

Anyway, as often noted on the blog, “rubber boat” migration invasion and the consequent “asylum hotel” aspect is only about 5% of the overall problem (even less if you take into account births).

Or not.

People have already lost faith in the UK political process, and the police. Until now, the courts have retained a measure of public respect. Will the courts and the judges now go the way of the politicians and police?

“Respect” is not quite the same as “fear”. Judge Jeffreys was feared but not respected. Look what happened to him.

“George Jeffreys, 1st Baron Jeffreys PC (15 May 1645 – 18 April 1689), also known as “the Hanging Judge“,[1] was a Welsh judge. He became notable during the reign of King James II, rising to the position of Lord Chancellor (and serving as Lord High Steward in certain instances). His conduct as a judge was to enforce royal policy, resulting in a historical reputation for severity and bias.”

[Wikipedia]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Jeffreys,_1st_Baron_Jeffreys.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Jeffreys,_1st_Baron_Jeffreys#Fall,_death_and_burial

[Judge Jeffreys]

“This is how ludicrous things have become. The judge said: “Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you spat at anybody. But it is accepted by you that you were a party to this disorder and I have to sentence you on that basis, and you know that anyone party to it has to receive a custodial sentence.” Man described by judge as the ‘least involved’ in riot jailed for a year https://telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/13/youngest-female-rioter-13-court-mother-step-father/“

I was not familiar with the facts of the case until (just now) reading the above link, but if the defendant did actually nothing, neither by deed nor by word (of incitement, though he did say things of an insulting and profane character), then how could any judge, properly directing himself, either find the defendant guilty (even on a plea of guilty, which may have been procured by fear of a heavier sentence yet) or hand down any custodial sentence?

I see now, in the Daily Telegraph report, that the defendant did in fact push at a police riot shield, though once only.

The judge was fair enough to have gone into recess at the trial, until further video evidence was screened.

Surely appealable, at least on sentence.

Indeed, if the defendant’s only action had been to be at the scene, and even if, so to speak, “silently in agreement” with the acts done by others, then that surely would not be enough? His words actually said were at worst ambiguous, in my view. Meaning that, on those premises, arguende, there was no actus reus sufficient in law (?). However, the pushing of the riot shield might (and obviously did) change that, in the mind of the judge. Rather thin, though.

Even if the judge felt impelled to imprison that defendant, surely 3 months would have been more than enough? He would then have been released within 4-5 weeks. Now, he will be spending about 5 months in prison, unless he gets bail pending any appeal on sentence.

Excessive.

Deadhead MPs

(to British families or individuals only, though, not to migrant-invaders or any other non-Europeans).

Again, plainly excessive. A suspended sentence would have been appropriate; the immediate 15 months, in all the circumstances, and seeing the strong personal/family mitigation— savage. As it is, the defendant will only be released after 5 months (minus a few days).

Starmer and his compliant judges may have repressed the recent protests (which were coming to an end anyway— the (((Hope not Hate))) cabal just invented the spectre of 100 more “far right” protests— but, in my opinion, people are getting even angrier, albeit under the surface, and with both the general situation in the country and about the “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by a mere 20% of eligible voters) of Two-Tier Keir.

People are just wary of openly saying or publishing online anything now, because of the open repression of free speech, and because of the police-state over-reaction by both Two-Tier Keir and those judges who have recently been giving out Cold War East European-style “People’s Court” sentences (for political “crimes” only).

“ZELENSKY APPROVED PLAN TO BLOW UP NORD STREAM PIPELINES

Despite the mainstream media saying for months that Russia blew up the pipelines, the Wall Street Journal has now revealed it was planned and executed by Ukraine at a cost of $300,000.

When the CIA learned of the plan they told Zelesnky to abort it, however it still went ahead. According to senior Ukrainian defense and security officials, the pipelines were a legitimate target. They are jointly owned by Russian, German, French, and Dutch companies, and the explosion caused 800 million cubic meters of gas, equivalent to about 3 months of Danish gas supplies, to escape.

It’s a problem for Germany, as a senior official said: “An attack of this scale is a sufficient reason to trigger the collective defense clause of NATO, but our critical infrastructure was blown up by a country that we support with massive weapons shipments and billions in cash.” Ukraine still officially denies involvement in the attack.

The vulgar mercantilist influence comes out in the language, and has for a number of years.

Apart from that, throwing money at a trade union or its members, in order to ensure a period without strikes, is easy enough, and not some masterstroke of Labour Party industrial relations.

Then compare that to the equally inaccurate and one-sided BBC and Sky News (etc) reportage about the Ukraine conflict, the migration-invasion and much else.

I agree completely. The UK has gone slowly mad in that regard over the past 50 years and especially the past 25 years.

Example(s) of and from what Katie Hopkins calls “Batshit Bonkers Britain”.

As frequently noted on the blog over the past 7 years, the self-describing “Left” has almost nothing left except hysterical demands that “the authorities” should “deplatform” anyone of whom they disapprove, or who is not of the “woke” orthodoxy. It even came out during the “Covid” hysteria of a few years ago.

The once-socialist so-called “Left” and/or “antifascist” tendency has actually nothing to offer the British people. No ideals. No ideas. Just witch-hunts.

Incidentally, anyone wanting to confirm that those sorts of individuals really are of “Batshit Bonkers Britain”, read this

They’re Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Ha!

I have a feeling that we may be about to see something on a larger scale. As some lady said before the French Revolution, “those who live will see“.

The lady in the white bikini better start running…

“The Kursk operation serves to create the illusion of progress.

It is possible that the United States participated in providing the intelligence that the Armed Forces of Ukraine needed to attack the Kursk region, said former Pentagon adviser Douglas McGregor.

The goal of the operation is to create the illusion of success so that warmongers in Washington will continue to send money to Ukraine, he emphasized.“

Exactly.
