Little girls at a school bombed by Israel. Another Israeli and American war crime.

At least the Israelis will not be able to harvest their organs this time.

[“The entire tenor of the US administration rn is so shocking. They insult and goad their allies in public, they are roundly self-congratulatory (having bombed children) rude bullies. Given they said we didn’t help them in other mad Middle East forays why on earth are we even speaking to them. Indescribably ghastly. Get off our bases frankly.“]

How utterly stupid so many standard British people sound these days.

What was it that I was constantly hearing on British TV until about a day or two ago, about how safe and nice Dubai is to live in?

In a century’s time, places like Dubai will be ruined and abandoned hulks sticking up out of the desert sands, the only visitors a few camel-borne Arabs.

Quite possibly, Tel Aviv will be similar.

Part-Jew nonentity, Tom Tugendhat MP, wants the UK to deploy its limited resources to help Israel, nothing else. Shut up, you fifth-columnist.

You need to go further. “Whites Only” at elections (both voters and candidates).

On those figures, Starmer himself would lose his seat in Parliament.

That poll translates to a Commons with about 394 Reform MPs (very large majority), 60 LibDems (official, very weak, Opposition), 52 Greens, 45 SNP, 44 Cons, 29 Labour [etc].

I look forward to something like that happening in a couple of years, or 2029, then to a pseudo-national Reform UK government which (in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, and unwilling to really tackle the “blacking and browning” of Britain, as well as being pseudo-“libertarian” and finance-capitalist) will be unable to “do de business“, and so will have to give way to real social nationalism.

Dan Hodges and other commentators keep saying that (at 35%, 30%, even 28%), Reform has reached its national electoral ceiling. Maybe so. At 35%, I would probably agree, but that is irrelevant as long as the Labour and Conservative parties are on 16%, 18%, even if they go up to 22% or more.

As for the Greens, so long as they remain below 25% (and at present they cannot even make it to 20 %; at present they are between 12% and 18%), there is no chance of their being able to form a government; they will, however, ensure that Labour cannot form one either.

That one would translate to Reform UK having about 336 MPs (small majority), Greens 88 (official Opposition but weak), Cons 74, LibDems 65, SNP 45, and Lab— 15! [etc].

The opinion polls differ slightly, but all have put Reform at the top, and usually well clear of the pack, for about 18 months now.

I had no idea that Sam Melia had completed the whole of his sentence actually in custody. If so, it must be because he refused to surrender his principles and refused to compromise. Well done.

Welcome back to the fight; this time I know our side will win” (to coin a phrase…).

“They” don’t change.

Yet the Jews still whine about alleged similar events in Poland and the Ukraine in 1939-1941, where other Jews were, they say, the victims.

A pack of extremely malicious Jews. Several of the leaders of that tiny but (of course) “well-funded” cabal have engaged in attempts to pervert the course of justice, and Falter himself has lied on oath in court more than once, in my opinion.

Trump remains what he was in 2016, when I, still then having a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018) described him as “a squawking parrot in a gilded cage, and guarded by a phalanx of Jews“.

I was right. I am right.

Iran will rebuild, and I think will dig ever deeper into those mountains over there, constructing missile factories and launch bases far below ground-level. Certainly conventional, possibly nuclear, missiles. One day, tens of thousands of drones will take to the air, followed by thousands of missiles. Their destination will be Israel, which will then be obliterated.

Regionally, the conflict has already put paid to 99% if not 100% of tourism to Dubai, for example. Who will be going there even if the airport re-opens?

As for oil and gas, it can be sourced from other parts of the world, but at a price. The “cat of the Kremlin” must be contemplating the cream…

Striking yet not sinking? I am not sufficiently informed to know what it takes to sink such a vessel these days.

Google AI says: “Four ballistic missiles can severely damage a large aircraft carrier, potentially disabling its flight deck and combat capabilities, but sinking a modern supercarrier likely requires more hits, according to naval experts. While a few missiles cause major damage, deep, watertight compartments and heavy armor are designed to prevent total sinking“.

So there we are.

That Alex Armstrong character is yet another pseudo-national GB News talking head. Israel, and the JQ generally, is always the touchstone. Anyone supporting the Jewish lobby is at best useless and stupid, at worst an enemy.

Hero.

Contrary to what many believe, homeschooling is completely lawful in the UK: see https://www.gov.uk/home-education.

[“The Blair years (1997–2007) can be read as a “rewiring” of the British state: a huge burst of legislation that expanded state capacity, shifted key powers away from direct electoral control, and built legal frameworks that later governments found hard to unwind. The result, critics argue, is a UK that feels less governable: immigration pressures that look structurally “locked in”, an economy shaped by technocratic monetary policy rather than democratic choices, a voting system perceived as more open to abuse, and a general sense that the country is smothered in rules while basic competence and trust have declined. On immigration, the argument isn’t that Blair “caused” today’s numbers single-handedly, but that he helped build the modern machinery of mass migration management—and also raised expectations and rights around remaining in the UK. The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 created the modern asylum support framework, including Section 95 support and the dispersal system (moving asylum seekers around the country rather than concentrating in London). In practice, dispersal entrenched a long-running national system of accommodation contracts, local authority impacts, and political flashpoints—so when asylum claims rose later, the infrastructure (and the costs) scaled up rather than disappearing. Later, the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 further reshaped appeals, removals, and the legal pathways around asylum and immigration decisions. A critic’s point is that Blair-era reforms normalised a permanent “immigration management state”—and once you have a large legal-administrative apparatus for it, you rarely get smaller numbers; you get larger budgets, more contractors, more case backlogs, and more political dependency on the system. Blair’s rights framework is also central to this critique. The Human Rights Act 1998 brought the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic UK law, making rights-based challenges easier to bring in UK courts. While defenders say it prevents abuse, critics say it also made removals, detention, and deportation more legally contested and slower—especially once immigration law became heavily litigated. (That criticism is strongest when combined with later case law and later legislation, but the “plumbing” starts in 1998.) On the economy, the standout is the Bank of England Act 1998, which put interest-rate decisions in the hands of the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), i.e., operational independence from ministers. The case for it was credibility and low inflation. The case against it is democratic deficit and distributional pain. When inflation spikes, the MPC tightens policy by raising rates. That hits mortgage holders, renters (via landlords’ costs), and small businesses first. In other words, a technocratic anti-inflation tool produces very real household hardship, and there’s no politician directly accountable for the vote. The government still sets the overall inflation target remit (now CPI 2% in modern practice), but the day-to-day levers are independent. Critics argue that this framework can feel like the public is being “disciplined” for inflation that may have been driven by energy shocks, supply problems, or fiscal choices—yet the blunt instrument is paid for by ordinary borrowers. On democracy and postal voting, critics point to Blair-era changes that encouraged “convenience voting” and widened the surface area for fraud or coercion. The Representation of the People Act 2000 and related reforms helped normalise postal voting expansion (later accelerated by subsequent governments and regulations), shifting voting from supervised polling stations into homes and informal settings. The critical claim isn’t that postal voting is automatically corrupt; it’s that it is easier to pressure family members, harvest ballots, or exploit weak handling practices—especially in tight local contests. The fact that the UK keeps updating postal vote rules and resilience (including recent guidance and reform pushes) is often cited by critics as evidence the system needed “hardening” after expansion. In short: Blair-era reform opened the door; later years had to retrofit controls. Finally, complaints about over-legislation is really about a governing style: Blair’s New Labour embraced “delivery” via targets, regulators, new offences, new agencies, and constant statutory change. The partial architecture to this: Terrorism Act 2000 and RIPA 2000 expanding state surveillance powers; multiple criminal justice reforms; major reorganisations in health, education, local government; and a steady stream of “fixes” that created new compliance burdens. Even when individual laws had plausible aims, critics argue the cumulative effect was a society that is more monitored, more regulated, and less locally self-directed—yet not necessarily more functional. So, the critical “how we got into today’s mess” story goes like this: Blair set up systems that persist. An immigration management and rights framework that makes rapid reduction harder; a monetary regime that can impose severe household pain without direct electoral accountability; a voting approach that prioritised convenience and then had to be patched against abuse; and a legislative habit of constant intervention that expanded the state’s footprint everywhere. Even where later governments made different choices, they mostly did so inside the institutions Blair built—meaning Britain’s problems now feel structural, not just political.“]

Britain needs a real Border Force, not the present Border Farce which actually ferries migrant invaders into the UK!

Of course, the old East German force called the Grenzpolizei (Border Police) had a dual role, as much aimed at keeping the working-age population of the DDR in as keeping smugglers, spies etc out

I have to say that the Grenzpolizei, on the couple of occasions when I encountered them, were both amiable and alarmingly efficient, for example when I and my driver were processed through a small crossing-point (we were the only car, in fact the only vehicle travelling West, in an hour spent there). They (politely, efficiently) emptied the contents of the car (a Volvo estate or station-wagon), then partially dismantled the car, taking out, entirely, various parts, including the seats (they did put it all together again later).

Google “Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan”…

While many who are hostile to Reform will be crowing because Plaid Cymru won that by-election, in big-picture terms the second place for Reform is far more significant.

Plaid only does well in a few places in Wales, and makes no pretence of being a UK-wide party. It has 4 MPs at Westminster (out of 32 Welsh seats), 2 peers (out of 828), and 14 Senedd members (out of 60).

Reform has just captured 36% of the votes at the Caerphilly by-election, more than impressive from a standing start and for a party basically perceived as English.

The main System parties have been trashed by the voters who bothered to vote (turnout was just over 50%): Labour, the previous holders of the seat, fell from 45.9% to a mere 11%. The Conservative party fell far too, from 17.3% to a mere 2%. Reform’s 35% this time can be compared to its previous result (2.2%, though some sources say 1.7%; no matter).

This has huge implications for both local and Westminster elections in England, of course.

Reform has achieved this level of support not because people love it, its policies, or its leader, Farage, but because people now hate and despise both main System parties. The SNP suddenly became pre-eminent in Scotland in 2015 not because many Scots loved or much-supported it, but because the Labour and other parties’ votes collapsed.

Think about it. Labour support overall is running at about 15%-25%, say 20% or thereabouts. Britain is now 20% non-white; Muslims are about 8% or maybe 10% of the population. Until recently, almost all voted Labour. Hardly any white English voters, in particular, now intend to vote Labour.

[“Agreed but think it’s somewhat dangerous to think a regional election is massively impactful to nation elections. Plaid Cymru won’t have candidates in the nation outside of Wales and that’s where the prize is. That said, the result is a big win for PC but isn’t the massive loss for Reform. 37% where they have never stood a Parliamentary candidate before is a good show. Long way to go in this story yet and Labour, and Tories, will not be happy as the narrative is they are a busted flush and the electorate will vote for anyone other than them.”]

Dan Hodges trying to spin the Caerphilly result as not terribly good for Reform UK, despite their vote having increased from around 2% to 36%! Look at Labour— 11%. Or Conservative Party— 2%.

Another way to look on the Caerphilly result might be to say that, if Reform can get a 36% result in a core part of Wales, what will it be getting in much of England.

I have no quarrel with that, but Dan Hodges is trying to stem the tide with words.

It may well be that Reform cannot get more, overall, than 35% or even a few points below that (in that poll, 29%). What Hodges does not seem to want to say, though, is that a party which gets even 29% in a general election can very easily still be the party that gets a plurality of votes and a plurality of Commons seats, maybe even a majority of seats.

On the figures above, Reform would still get about 370 Commons seats, and a solid majority. Labour might get 89 seats, the LibDems 69, the SNP 45, Cons about 21, and Greens 18.

Conservative Party would be only the fifth-largest party in the Commons.

Yes, but the idea that voters who dislike Reform will vote tactically on a big enough scale to stop the Reform deluge is very doubtful. Dent the juggernaut, yes, stop it, no. Some of the results might be unpredictable.

If Hodges says that Caerphilly was bad for Farage and Reform, how much worse was it for Starmer and Labour, or Badenoch and the Con Party?

As previously blogged, neither side should be directly targeting civilians.

A horrible tribe, wherever they are in the world.

Israeli doctors have been proven to have no ethics. Example? When the corrupt Nigerian former government minister, Dikko, was kidnapped in London in 1984, it turned out that the Israelis had made a deal with the anti-Dikko Nigerian government to kidnap him and fly him to Nigeria. MOSSAD was tasked with the operation.

Dikko was to be sedated by a leading Israeli anaesthetist recruited by MOSSAD pro hac vice. In the end, Dikko was lucky; the Israelis less lucky: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dikko_affair (and note that that Wikipedia page is one of the many vandalized by Jews connected with the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”. All reference to MOSSAD, and almost all reference to Israel, has been expunged by the Zionist Jew vandals).

[“A caribou mother cradles her newborn protectively in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This has been their territory since the late Pleistocene, but today the Trump Administration announced plans to auction off these treasured lands to oil and gas leasing. This means the entire 1.56 million-acre coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will be opened to: airstrips, roads, thumper trucks, drilling rigs, noise, pollution and pipelines — destruction of one of the last refuges for wildlife on Earth.“]

Were I in government, or indeed the government, he would be “shot while trying to escape“. Job done.

How about tackling the problem of Israeli “proxies”, and the Israeli “Fifth Column” in the UK?

Peter Kellner is the YouGov pollster.

So without tactical anti-Reform voting, an overall 25% vote for Reform UK would give Reform 200+ votes, maybe 250. With tactical voting, Reform might get “only” 150-200…

The System drones are getting desperate. Even 150 MPs is massive for a party which presently has half a dozen. Also, from where does the “25%” come? Reform is currently far higher in the polls and was, recently, as high as 36%.

The fact is that the “Overton Window” is moving fast now. The Lab and Con System parties are dying. Reform, though underwhelming, is a symptom of the (mainly) white, mainly English voters losing patience.

If Reform forms a government but then fails to do “the necessary”, real social nationalism can take the reins, with the support of enough people to take power. The NSDAP in Germany had only 2.6% of the national vote in 1928, but by 1932 had 33%, and Hitler was able to take over the rulership of the country.

Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel regime is in trouble…

If fake Labour can lose about three-quarters (in fact, more than 3/4) of their previous vote in formerly rock-solid Caerphilly, in South Wales, where Labour votes were once said to be “weighed not counted“, the fall in support in most parts of England must surely be as much or more, arguende. If so, then the number of Labour MPs in or after 2029 would surely be somewhere around 75.

Likewise, but even more striking, the Con vote in Caerphilly was around one-eighth of its previous level. Were that to happen in England and at a general election, the number of Con MPs would be around 15.

What a pity. I like France, and enjoyed my 4 years living in Finistere (and commuting every couple of weeks to the UK). I should be sorry to see France, including Finistere (which has a major submarine base on the Crozon Peninsula) all but annihilated by nuclear attack.

Zelensky will be eliminated, sooner or later.

Starmer-stein? Only about 10% of white English/British people now vote Labour. Politically, both Starmer and Labour are washed up, together with the Conservative Party.

Bravo! Quite right. Reform, for me, exists to destroy the old System parties. Once that is done, stand aside for social-national upsurge.

Saturday quiz

Well, 6/10 this week, trumping the 2/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 3, 5, and 8.

The Jewish-Zionist plot to bring down Corbyn

The website Declassified UK has published a review of a book on the anti-Corbyn campaign, headlined “Morgan McSweeney’s ‘plot without precedent in Labour history’— A new book chronicles how Labour strategist Morgan McSweeney used ‘any means necessary’ to destroy Corbyn as leader and install Starmer.”

As one would expect, the book and the review both term the anti-Corbyn plotters “the Right“, rather than “Jews” or “Jew-Zionists”; and they use the now so-outdated “Right/Left” descriptors.

In fact, the plot to topple Corbyn was plainly one planned and funded by pro-Israeli, and probably actual Israeli, sources at root, though carried out by Zionists or pro-Zionists not all of which were Jews (though many were).

I followed Corbyn’s progress on the blog almost from when the blog started in late 2016; certainly from 2017. It was clear to me that there was a basically Jewish —and almost certainly also Israeli— conspiracy to topple him.

Not that I much favoured Corbyn, a relatively uneducated man with simplistic socialist policy viewpoints. Also, while being anti-Israeli, Corbyn always gave lip-service to some of the Zionist propaganda regulars, such as the WW2 “holocaust” narrative. He was not ruthless enough to crush his enemies.

Still, Corbyn was at least a recognizable and relatively decent English type. Starmer (“Starmer-stein”) has no decency and is just a careerist drone, out for what he can get, as witness his grabbing whatever freebies, expenses-paid items, holiday trips etc he and his Jewish wife can grab. Also, of course, his directionless travel on policy.

The fake-Labour “welfare” cuts, the cheating of the pensioners, unemployed, sick, disabled etc. The U-turn on the “trans” nonsense, too. On the one hand on his knees (literally, with Angela Rayner) before the black mobs of “Black Lives Matter”, but then playing the poundshop Stalin when English people got angry at the migration-invasion.

The website post is worth reading, but cannot be linked to, it seems.

I wonder. I am minded to think that, even if a temporary peace is agreed soon, it will not last. Russia must take and retain all of the territory east of the Dnieper.

Balashikha is, inter alia, a kind of colony for high-ranking Russian military people, situated east of Moscow, and a kind of outer suburb.

The Kiev regime seems to be able to hit individuals in Russia quite efficiently. It is an open question whether the Kiev-regime secret services have, or have had, the help of the CIA and/or MOSSAD to do that. Not the CIA any more, I should have thought.

Of course, such assassinations, while high-profile, do not change the fact that, on the ground in Ukraine, Russian forces continue to advance steadily on all relevant sectors of the front.

As I predicted long ago on the blog. I said that Starmer-stein would try to “solve” the “small boats” migration-invasion by “processing” claims (rubberstamping them) swiftly, possibly overseas, thus magically turning illegal immigrants into legal ones, then emptying the asylum hotels by gifting the invaders council housing or State-paid private rental housing that should be going to British people.

I hope that the voters of Runcorn and Helsby send a firm message —by voting Reform— to Starmer-stein at the by-election next Thursday.

Runcorn and Helsby, this is your chance to make history.

On those figures, Reform would have well over 250 MPs, Labour fewer than 190, and the Cons only 75. The Cons might then be the third-largest party in the Commons, but possibly only the fourth-largest. Terminal.

That evil spirit, Ursula von der Leyen, talks about peace, while supplying the brutal and corrupt Kiev regime dictatorship with huge amounts of arms, ammunition, and EU taxpayers’ money.

Wherever two or more are gathered in my name...” (but are they?).

Runcorn and Helsby voters!— do what you have to do next Thursday to sink Labour. If you vote Reform, well and good. If you want to vote Green or elsewhere, OK. Whatever you do, don’t vote Starmer-stein fake Labour, even if it means just staying home.

So that’s the end of that…

Glad I am not in his boots (whether guilty or not).

Ladybird Books has used sensitivity readers to re-examine some of its children’s fairytales to check their inclusivity, according to The Sunday Telegraph.

The Penguin-owned publisher’s catalogue includes classic tales such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty – but the characters and plots have been identified as ‘outdated or harmful’.

Industry insiders claim problematic tropes include a lack of diversity among blonde-haired and blue-eyed protagonists.

[Daily Mail]

There you have it. “Blonde and blue-eyed” (i.e. white European) people not wanted. In other words, “White Genocide”, albeit at this stage “only” on the printed page. How long before the inferior peoples want to go a stage further, and kill us “in real life”?

Apart from that, how sad. The enemies of Europe want to destroy everything beautiful and worthwhile, or pervert it.

Eventually there must be real resistance from European people. There will eventually be a civil war which will be partly racial, partly cultural (but of course “race is the rootstock, culture is the flower“), and partly ideological.

It goes beyond even government. Entrenched cultural and economic power cabals.

Hancock and the rest should be put up against a wall.

Looks like the more venomous sort of blacks and browns (and half-castes, looking at the photo) have already declared (civil) war on us…

At a guess, about £100,000 p.a,

“Brexit” was not a mistake, as such, but it was completely incompetently done (possibly deliberately, as well, in part). The UK should have cut itself adrift from EU rules and laws and policies, kept or “nationalized” those that made sense, jettisoned the rest, then joined with Russia in a special trading relationship— the UK stands aside from active participation in NATO and, in return, gets free or cheap oil and gas from Russia.

Incidentally, Julia Grace Patterson, though qualified in medicine, only practised for a short time (in hospital A&E) before dropping out. She also studied psychiatry for a year, but has never practised in the field, as far as I know.

The “campaigning” of “Every Doctor” seems to be largely based around “Covid” fanaticism (especially the facemask nonsense— Ms. Patterson just happens to sell facemasks…), and demands for NHS doctors to be paid (even) more.

Russian forces are not working as a co-ordinated whole. The responsibility for that may reside in various places but, at the end of the day, resides with Putin himself. In the American phrase, “the buck stops there“…

The Bakhmut/Artyomovsk battle has become a trial of strength extremely important for the morale of both sides.

All the same, if Russian forces lose out, Russia can still step up its war operations generally in Ukraine with more destructive methods yet, in theory right the way up to nuclear ICBMs. Ukraine or Kiev-regime commanders cannot; they have no such weapons. The most for which they can hope is relatively few high-grade Western weapons such as fighter aircraft and Abrams tanks, the capabilities of which latter are phenomenal— what would Rommel or Guderian not have given for such tanks in the early/mid 1940s?

Interesting, especially if the ratio is accurate. Yesterday, it was all “one Ukrainian [Kiev-regime] fighter killed for every seven Russians“, but today it seems that the losses are equal on both sides,

I wonder whether that 1:7 ratio claim was part of the propaganda pumped out saying that the Kiev-regime soldiers are some kind of elite (not very plausible from what I see on Twitter and in the UK msm), whereas the Russian soldiers are “orcs” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orc].

The aim of the Kiev regime here (as also with much of the UK/US “reportage”, if it can be called that), is to dehumanize the Russian soldiers. We see little or nothing from the Russian side of the conflict in the msm; even on Twitter etc, the Kiev-regime has “played a blinder” in propaganda terms compared to the stolid offerings of the Russian Foreign Ministry and the unsophisticated social media output of individual Russian tweeters.

One notes that (up to ministerial level, i.e. tweets by government ministers) the Kiev regime notes not only the damage done to civilians (by Russians, never by pro-Kiev Ukrainians), and also tweets about abandoned or rescued cats and dogs. The aim is obviously to capture the hearts of Western readers (the tweets have English subtitles).

I am 100% in favour of the cats and dogs, and indeed those helping them, as far as that goes, but there are probably as many doing that on the Russian side (in Donetsk etc); we never hear or see anything about that.

As I say, the Kiev-regime side is far more sophisticated in terms of propaganda aimed at the West (even/especially when appearing to be artless) than the Russian side.

Compare the cultural history of Russia and Ukraine. For whatever reason, Russia has a far more complex and rich cultural background than Ukraine: music, literature, philosophy etc. Yet the Russians are, supposedly, the “orcs“…

A CNN report from 6 weeks ago.

If Russian forces can complete the encirclement of Bakhmut/Artyomovsk, they may capture thousands of Kiev-regime troops; even if the latter escape encirclement, they would be all but spent, and would have to slowly straggle northward. Whether the Russian forces could then make a big advance is, however, an open question.

Twitter

As I write, I see that there seems to be a problem with Twitter, and so with the tweets that I have embedded today. Hopefully, the problem will be resolved.
