Britain entered the war because Hitler had grand designs of ruling Europe (obviously).
Britain and France guaranteed Poland protection from German invasion, despite this, and despite many warnings from Britain, Hitler invaded Poland anyway.
Israel-puppet “Tommy” seems unable to distinguish between a definitely-decided-upon plan of invasion and a mere contingency plan. The “plan” to invade the UK, Seelowe (Sealion), was a contingency plan. Under the right circumstances, it might have been actioned, and enough resources put in to make it feasible, but that never happened in or after 1940.
Hitler’s grand strategy, as of 1939-40, was either for the German Reich to join with the then-great British Empire (which Hitler admired) to rule much of the world (Britain as a seaborne empire and the Reich as one ruling northern Eurasia), or for there to be an uninvolved peace between the Reich and Britain (and also between the Reich and defeated France, along with its own widely-scattered colonies), giving the Reich the great possibility of defeating Sovietism and achieving huge Lebensraum (living-space) in the east of Europe and European Russia (especially the rich black-earth agricultural lands of the Ukraine, a country the same size as France).
The “Battle of Britain” arose out of the battle for France, which ended in German victory that same summer of 1940. The Germans were focussed on destroying the RAF airfields both in Northern France and in the southeast of England.
Why could German forces not invade England after the Fall of France? Several reasons.
Firstly, Hitler ideally wanted the British Empire as an ally or, failing that, as a hands-off bystander, not as a defeated enemy.
Secondly, and more practically (and as the British successes of the Battle of Britain proved), the Luftwaffe was simply unable to attain air supremacy, leaving any invasion fleet open to merciless RAF and Royal Navy (Fleet Air Arm) attack from the air.
Thirdly, the German army and navy were unable to source sufficient carrying or ferrying capacity to land an invasion force large enough to be likely to be able to establish and hold a bridgehead in the southeast of England.
In fact, this was known to the British government at the time; Churchill was well aware of it, but it suited him to keep the British population in a state of invasion-fear and panic, as well as spy-mania (the view, popularly held, that German spies were everywhere— yet another war myth only dispelled several decades later).
Seelowe (Sealion), was only a contingency plan, but not a merely “paper” one. It might, under more favourable circumstances, have been upgraded to a genuine operational plan ready to be put into effect. Never happened.
I was unaware that “Tommy Robinson” took an interest in WW2 grand strategy; or are (((those))) behind him the ones who take an interest?
British people are homeless while hostile and/or useless parasite untermenschen take much of the available social housing. A million more, every year, are arriving. Something will have to give. Society is starting to break apart in this country.
It is not racist to want to preserve your White ethnicity and existence. It’s racist to want to erase it. We are not the ones in the wrong. The projection is insane.
Those who know me know that farmers (eg in the UK) are not my favourite people, as a general group, but it is obvious that fake “Labour” is hitting them for one reason only (apart from grabbing money), which is that the farming community is almost entirely English/British, i.e. white Northern European.
Labour, on the other hand, has become a party dependent on non-white voting blocs: the Muslims, of various sorts, and blacks. I have not seen the opinion polls for a few days, but the last couple I saw had Labour on 15% and 20%. Pretty clear that very few white English people are now going to vote Labour.

My own use of Electoral Calculus comes to a slightly different result: Reform about 379 seats, Labour 82, LibDems 61, SNP 44, Cons 35, Greens 13 [etc]. A very solid Reform majority.
Russia is currently negotiating a settlement in Ukraine only with the United States, Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said at a news briefing following the meeting held in the Kremlin yesterday:https://t.co/kD9fFmDC8wpic.twitter.com/D888UIxE6u

The ludicrous “Your Party” (currently opinion-polling at somewhere below 1%) is, in microcosm, the alliance seen more widely between the more “socialist” white Labourites and the Muslim (not infrequently, Islamist) voting bloc. It could never work. Ideologically, the two main components of “Your Party” have little if anything in common.
Even were the above to be left aside, the fact that “Your Party” has split before even having been fully launched will turn off 99% of voters. I never thought that “Your Party” (which may be renamed something else in the end, maybe “Party McParty Face Party”) would score more than a couple of Westminster seats, but now it looks as though it will just be Corbyn himself sitting there.
Of course, as that scribbler says, the Muslim voting bloc will not be going away, if only because somewhere around 11% of the whole UK population (no-one seems to know the real figure) is now Muslim.
Disgraceful, but par for the course in the contemporary UK.
I was sorry to see today that that young man has been incarcerated for his tweets (as I understand was the case; I am unfamiliar with the details of the matter, except that it seems to have been instigated by the usual pack of malicious Jew-Zionist fanatics).
A Crown Court case, but Morgan apparently pleaded guilty. Often a mistake. He may well have been better off taking his chances with a British jury (while they still exist).
I remember Morgan’s tweets from a couple of years ago; while I did not agree with all of them, many were worth seeing, and no-one should be imprisoned for socio-political tweeting, particularly when the prosecution is basically a Jewish-Zionist put-up job.
It’s nice to see so many more people waking up to what has been going on in the last couple of weeks and my views not being considered as extreme these days.
Ethnonationalism & White Nationalism are the only ideologies that will save Western civilisation.

Got called a Nazi for saying legals are scamming our visa system and government systems in general. Got called a Nazi for not wanting the English to become a minority in their own country. Got called a Nazi for calling for Remigration. Got called a Nazi for questioning foreign influence in our government and institutions. I really don’t care. Words are meaningless. England for the English. Britain for the British. Europe for Europeans.”]
Brava!
Next week’s Substack is about the completely bananas no-win, no-fee agreement between a defendant in my case and Mark Lewis/Patron Law.
It is frightening stuff. Patron Law say they are ‘different’. It’s a hard agree from me.
The government intends to replace most trials by jury with trial by judge alone.
A judge from Leeds dealing with criminal cases, Recorder Simon Myerson KC, repeated on here the claim that I was the scum of the earth who was responsible for someone’s suicide.
[“The government intends to replace most trials by jury with trial by judge alone. A judge from Leeds dealing with criminal cases, Recorder Simon Myerson KC, repeated on here the claim that I was the scum of the earth who was responsible for someone’s suicide. The claim was entirely false and my view is that Myerson is an obnoxious buffoon. I infer that Myerson was irrationally prejudiced against me, possibly over my views on Israel or because I annoyed his mate Mark Lewis. In what was an essentially secret process between judges, Myerson was investigated by another judge from Leeds, Lady Justice King. Despite the obnoxious and false claim, Myerson was only given a slap on the wrist by the Lady Chief Justice and the Lord Chancellor (a politician). Myerson continued sitting as a judge. Nice work if you can get it. The government intends to take away most decisions on whether someone is guilty of a serious criminal offence from a jury of 12 ordinary people. The plan is to give the decision to a judge alone, perhaps someone like Myerson. No doubt there are other judges like him, each with their own prejudices. Juries of 12 ordinary people play an essential role in ensuring justice is done and seen to be done. Public participation both legitimises the criminal process and functions as an essential check on state power. Abolishing trial by jury will lead to many more miscarriages of justice. No matter what your politics are, what is proposed is genuinely terrifying and cannot be allowed to happen.”]
Of course, Myerson was sacked in the end, not so long after he was appointed Recorder (p/t criminal judge).

“Stay behind” units in 1940: an historical note
The Second World War, with its complexities, nuances, twists and turns, and ideological subtleties, is endlessly fascinating. I happened to see a local newspaper story about part of Churchill’s idea of how to “fight on the beaches, fight on the landing-grounds” etc.
Churchill, though a genuinely world-historical figure, unlike Boris Johnson (who tries to ape his style and manner), does have a few characteristics in common with his latter-day copier. One is that he was largely ineffective as head of government when given his head; also, he was a person with, often, very silly ideas. Churchill was no good as a strategist; as for tactics, his ideas were really straight out of boys’ comic books.
The Norway operation in 1940; the British Expeditionary Force in France, also in 1940 (my own grandfather was on the Dunkirk beaches), the idea of invading France via the Cote-d’Azur in 1944, the Fall of France, the Fall of Greece (including Crete), and so on, give some idea of Churchill’s lack of strategic nous.
Stay-behind units were organized, with the idea that they might not last more than 12 days after any German “reverse D-Day”.
It was presumed that German invasion forces would strike initially at the London area:
“Operation Sealion, Hitler’s plan to invade across the Channel, almost saw the German 6th Army land at Lyme Regis in 1940 and push inland to Bristol and Gloucester.
Meanwhile the 9th and 16th Armies were to attack from Portsmouth to Dover, sweeping northwards to capture London and East Anglia, Britain’s breadbasket.” [DorsetLive].
Despite the chilling ruthlessness of their remit, the “Auxiliary Units” had a delightfully Wodehousian aspect:
“Grouped into “operational patrols” of four to eight men, AU members needed excellent local knowledge – making gamekeepers and poachers ideal candidates.
But known members of local patrols include bakers, carpenters, car salesmen, dairy farmers, electricians, fishmongers, miners and train drivers.
“The staff of Charborough Park – a country house estate now belonging to South Dorset MP Richard Drax – were also formed into an AU patrol.
The chauffeurs, foresters, gamekeeper and gardener of Sir Reginald Aylmer Ranfurly Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax, Mr Drax’s grandfather, moonlighted as would-be saboteurs and assassins.” [DorsetLive].
One almost expects Sir Roderick Spode (a parody of Sir Oswald Mosley) to make an appearance, with a slight ideological twist, perhaps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roderick_Spode.
There were, it seems, about 6,500 volunteers in such “stay behind” units, most of whom were organized around the southern and eastern coasts of England.
As for the conventional forces defending, “The Germans put the British defences at 320,000 men, with machine gun nests positioned 300 yards from the coastline, artillery guns 1,000 yards inland and another line of artillery and machine gun nests 3,000 yards back.
A line of more than 600 armoured cars and tanks were said to have been positioned two miles inland and a reserve of 50,000 men a further two miles back.” [The Argus].
In fact, Operation Sealion was not a ready to roll plan such as had been Fall Gelb, “Case Yellow” (or “Operation Yellow”), the plan for the invasion of France [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manstein_Plan]. Sealion was called Unternehmen Seelöwe, not “Fall Seelöwe“.
My German is poorer than it should be (bearing in mind that I did take German at school, and I did also have a couple of crash courses later, when I was in my twenties), but the difference in designation seems to be that one plan was ready-to-go, while the other was somewhere between that and a contingency plan.
It is known that Hitler wanted Britain, and the British Empire, as an ally against the expansionism of both the Soviet Union and the U.S.A. His preference in 1940 was for an armistice, not for conquest by invasion.
Apart from Hitler’s preference for alliance, there were operational reasons why Sealion never proceeded: lack of total air superiority was one, but another perhaps more important was the lack of carrying capacity by sea of the German navy. There were not enough barges to carry the armies required, and not enough defence for those barges.
If, however, the invasion had happened, “[the Auxiliary Units]…would disappear to their OB, wait for the Germans to go over the top of them and attack the rear...”
“Patrols would attack bridges, convoys, fuel dumps and so on, breaking the supply chain and holding up the advance of the blitzkrieg, giving the regular army time to regroup and counterattack.”
“Equipped with suppressed sniper’s rifles, the fighters would also be expected to assassinate anyone who might expose their underground operations.
“Patrols would take out collaborators as well as local policemen and intelligence officers – innocent men, killed just for knowing their identities…”
“Anyone who stumbled across their OB would also be killed. And if a patrol member was injured and couldn’t get back the OB, they were obligated to shoot him...”
“Their life expectancy was just 12 short days – with orders to kill each other and themselves if capture by the enemy seemed imminent.” [DorsetLive]
There were, then, two underlying assumptions or, better said, hopes, on the part of the Auxiliary Units: the first was that the units would survive for 12-14 days; the second was that the main British forces would be able to mount a successful counterattack.
As to whether the stay-behind fighters could survive for 14 days, my assessment is that they could do so easily if they did nothing or very little; once they started to shoot people and blow things up, it would be a different story.
The Germans might not have been able to do much to repress any stay-behind activity in the first confused days following invasion, but once those early days had passed, the Feldgendarmerie and SS would rather rapidly have started to arrest or kill suspects.
It is remarkable that the British plans included the assassination, on a default basis, of British police and Army personnel, or local residents, who knew of their existence! That might soon have backfired, with other such people helping the Germans to eliminate such ruthless persons hiding in their neighbourhoods. We shall never know. What we can be fairly sure about is that the Auxiliary Units would have had little impact on the eventual result, in big-picture terms.
As for the Auxiliary Units as the basis for a possible “British Resistance”, impossible. Limited stocks of weaponry and ammunition, no help from external sources, and the German security grip tightening steadily.
Could British home forces have defeated a German invasion force, had it landed in the numbers suggested? Doubtful. For one thing, the projected German force was to have been 600,000 after a few days; the defending forces would have numbered under 400,000.
Secondly, the quality of German tanks, light weapons etc outmatched the British; the same was true of the fitness of German troops. Red Cross reports of the period (from France) noted that British soldiers captured were often undernourished, stunted, with poor teeth and poor fitness, a result of the social conditions prevalent in the UK in the 1920s and 1930s. The German prisoners taken by the British were found to be, almost universally, in a good state of health and fitness, the result of, mainly, 7 years of National Socialist government.
Another point is that the German forces will mostly have seen action in Poland or France, whereas the British home forces were mostly without recent battle experience.
It is true that large wargames (a major one took place at Sandhurst in 1974) have generally resulted in German defeat following a 1940 invasion of Britain, but those results were based on destruction of much of the invasion force at sea, and failure to execute the invasion plan with sufficient boldness. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sea_Lion_(wargame).
History is full of examples of invasions that should have failed, but did not. Alexander’s invasion of the Persian Empire, and William of Normandy’s 1066 invasion of England, are but two. Indeed, Hitler’s own experiences in 1939-41 (Norway, France, Poland, the Soviet Union, Greece, Yugoslavia etc show that boldness can bring victory even in unlikely circumstances. Rommel’s victories in North Africa were usually achieved against the odds.
It can certainly be argued that Hitler should have pressed on in 1940, even in circumstances of high risk. Britain would have quickly folded, and then, under new political leadership, found a new role, with the Empire, as a “dual-rulership” of much of the Earth, in collaboration with the German Reich.
On those premises, huge destruction and misery would have been avoided, both in the 1940s and thereafter. The world would have been a far better place now, had that happened.
As to the results further down the line, had a German invasion succeeded, one has to say that, in some ways, perhaps most ways, Britain itself might have been —80 years on— better for it. There would have been no migration-invasion by blacks and browns, and no Jewish-Zionist exploitation. Services such as the NHS would have been available earlier and better.
Incidentally, a German victory in 1940 would not have meant long-term German occupation, certainly not after a few years, and not necessarily a harsh one. The main aim, for Hitler, would have been disarmament or control of the British Army, navy and air force.
Hitler’s preferred ruler of Britain, we now know, was none other than Lloyd George! The Security Service, MI5, was well aware of this, and monitored him closely.
“Lloyd George was consistently pro-German after 1923,[169] in part due to his growing conviction that Germany had been treated unfairly at Versailles. He supported German demands for territorial concessions and recognition of its “great power” status; he paid much less attention to the security concerns of France, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Belgium.
[170]In a speech in 1933, he warned that if Adolf Hitler were overthrown Communism would replace him in Germany.[171] In August 1934, he insisted Germany could not wage war, and assured European nations that there would be no risk of war during the next ten years.[172]
In September 1936, he visited Germany to talk with Hitler. Hitler said he was pleased to have met “the man who won the war”; Lloyd George was moved, and called Hitler “the greatest living German”.[166]: 247 Lloyd George also visited Germany’s public works programmes and was impressed. On his return to Britain, he wrote an article for the Daily Express praising Hitler and stating: “The Germans have definitely made up their minds never to quarrel with us again.“[166]: 248
He believed Hitler was “the George Washington of Germany”; that he was rearming Germany for defence and not for offensive war; that a war between Germany and the Soviet Union would not happen for at least ten years; that Hitler admired the British and wanted their friendship but that there was no British leadership to exploit this.” [Wikipedia].
Well, in the trite but true expression, “man proposes but God disposes”…
Strange. My memory tells me precisely the reverse, as far as the years up to 2010 are concerned. It is a complex picture, but I recall a country where things were OK (speaking very very generally) until 1997 (I was mostly out of the UK that exact year, though), one where a gradual “communitarian” police statism started to develop under Blair and Brown, and one in which (and here I do agree with the tweeter) there was a catastrophic decline in standards from…well, the tweeter says 2010 (i.e. when Cameron-Levita and his clique became the Government), but I think earlier, maybe from 2005 or so (under Gordon Brown).
I recall returning to the UK from France in 2009, having not been here for a year (I had been spending half my time in France since 2005, and was also in a number of other countries during 2005-2010), and noticing the social darkness that had already descended, a year before David Cameron-Levita became Prime Minister.
The (Pakistani?) tweeter is obviously a simplistic Labour Party partisan, who thinks in unsophisticated ways: Labour government 1997— good, Conservative government 2010— bad. If only life were that simple.
Ah. Just looked him up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahir_Shah. Not Pakistani, but Indian Muslim (born in the UK), and a comedian. Britain may be short of housing, energy, water, good jobs, a decent and working society generally, and good government, but we shall never, it seems, run out of comedians. Sometimes there seem to be thousands of them, though few I have seen or heard (on TV or radio) are actually very comic.

Not a word about the persecution and prosecution, by the same pack of Jews, of the singer-satirist Alison Chabloz, who has now actually done time in prison for mocking “holocaust” fakery and hoaxes (fakery almost all done by Jews). Not a word about the fact that Jez Turner, of the now-defunct London Forum, was imprisoned for simply making a speech in Whitehall urging the removal of Jews from the UK.
Now I wonder whether there is a common theme about those cases when Toby Young and the “Free Speech Union” stayed guiltily silent?…
In 2004-2005, for nearly two years, I lived in a farmhouse in the constituency, near Milton Abbot (6 miles NW of Tavistock), having moved out of Polapit Tamar House, 8 miles away across the Tamar in Cornwall (a lovely place then, though since I lived there split up into numerous dwelling units, and currently on sale for £7M).
Geoffrey Cox became MP for Torridge and West Devon in 2005, but at that time I was too busy trying to make a living at the Bar to take any notice of System politics, certainly did not vote, and was unaware, I think, even of the bastard’s name.
We do not have to consider the almost-ubiquitous “holocaust” fakery, hoaxes, or “memories” which simply could not have happened, to understand that human memory often cannot be relied upon. Ignorance of fact can also play a role.
I have just seen a tweet in which the tweeter reminisces about his school trip to the Soviet Union in 1984 or 1985. The trip apparently consisted of a week in Leningrad and a week in Moscow.
Inter alia, the tweeter concerned tweets that he visited the Hermitage (in Leningrad), and walked on the surface of the frozen Volga…
Well, I suppose that the above memory could be accurate, but probably is not. Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) is on the river Neva; Moscow is on the Moscow river or Moskva.
The Volga has a quite convoluted course, and at its nearest to Moscow is only about 85 miles away, at the meeting-place of the Volga with the Moskva-Volga Canal (aka Moscow Canal): https://factsanddetails.com/russia/Places/sub9_9a/entry-7029.html. It goes nowhere very near St. Petersburg.

[river Oka at Nizhny-Novgorod; photograph by Aleksei Trefilov]
The Moscow river is a tributary of the river Oka, which is in turn a tributary of the river Volga.
The upshot of the above is that the tweet I saw could be accurate but quite likely is not. The tweeter probably walked on the frozen Neva, or perhaps the Moskva, or the Moskva-Volga Canal.
Memory cannot always be relied upon. My own memory is (I have found) better than that of almost anyone else I have ever met, but is still occasionally inaccurate.
Talking of memories of Russia, I saw another tweet today, which contained a picture of the interior of the GUM complex near Red Square. Marble floors, clean, redolent of luxury.
I first saw GUM in 1993, when most of the shop units were empty, the (then white) marble floors containing wide cracks in places, and a snack bar in the area on the ground floor was doing a good trade in open sandwiches (red caviar on buttered white bread); I had one myself, I think.
When I returned to Moscow in 2007, all changed. Tan marble, everything clean and tidy, and the shops were all occupied; they included Thomas Pink, Armani etc. Not very busy, perhaps because it was a weekday and early evening, or perhaps because of the high prices. In 1993, it was also not busy, though then because there was rather little to buy. I believe that, in Soviet days, GUM was always packed, as was the toy shop Detsky Mir (“Children’s World”) next door (with access then from GUM as well as from the street). In 1993, I wandered in from GUM, out of curiosity. The few outsized soft toys were charged at extortionate prices. Oddly, or perhaps not, no children and few adults there.
For a moment, I thought that he must have done something really bad, like identifying a Jew as Jewish, but on reflection, that would have required the participation of the “Anti-Terrorist Command”, I suppose…
As most readers will know, Jeremy Corbyn is being sued for libel. The Jews are all crowing about it. They hope to see him ruined and reduced to poverty etc. Typical.
Naturally, I am not and never was a “supporter” of Corbyn and/or the Labour Party. Corbyn was only too ready to pay lip-service to the propaganda of the Jew-Zionist element, notably the largely-fake “holocaust” farrago; also, he was always surrounded by blacks and seemed fine about the UK becoming a multikulti dustbin. As for his retailing of the ludicrous 1930’s Popular Front and “No Pasaran!“, “Battle of Cable Street” (etc) nonsense, well… one could ascribe that either to Corbyn’s poor intellectual level or to a lack of imagination, or both.
Having said the above, I hope that Corbyn’s defence succeeds. “They” must be opposed in all ways and at all times. Their assault on freedom of expression in the UK is now at a fever pitch.

The Britain that once was: August 1940 .German radio: 'Meanwhile, in Britain, the entire population, faced by the threat of an invasion, has been flung into a state of complete panic.’ https://t.co/a54GGpeGBQ
An amusing contrast with the fear and panic engendered (mainly via government propaganda etc) by the “Coronavirus” of 2020. In fact, “Operation Sealion” (the German plan to invade the UK in 1940) was more in the nature of a contingency plan than a full operational plan, a fact underlined by its name: Unternehmen Seelowe, rather than Fall Seelowe (cf. Fall Gelb, the plan to invade France in 1940, and Uberfall auf Polen, the plan to invade Poland in 1939).
“Operation Sealion” was never a full operational plan: Hitler wanted Britain and its Empire as an ally, or at least neutral, not as an enemy or vanquished enemy, ideally, which is why he refused to allow the British forces at Dunkirk (including my own grandfather) to be destroyed.
It may be that Hitler created an impression of invasion preparation in order to get the British political leadership to the negotiating table. Three separate peace offers or offers of serious negotiation, were made; all were rejected out of hand by Churchill and his clique.
There is also the point that Germany simply did not have the sea-carrying capacity, on barges and ships, to transport sufficient forces across the Channel. In other words, Hitler could not have succeeded in invading the UK even had he wanted to do that.
The above facts were known to the British leadership in 1940, as Lord Alanbrooke (Chief of the Imperial General Staff) noted in his diary, but Churchill, in the Jewish pocket, deliberately misled the public, and pretended that an invasion was a serious possibility, and even likelihood. There never was a serious threat, but the public never knew it.
As usual clear, excellent, referenced and expert analysis from Swiss Policy Research . Muzzle Zealots please note :. https://t.co/kPmL4EXSYH
My personal impression is that large numbers of people do understand that the government has mishandled the “virus” “crisis” and that there is, now, no crisis (if there ever was). However, there is an ingrained British tendency to obey the law even where (as in this case) the law may not actually be “the law” (because invalid in itself and in its application). There is also the social pressure from the “rabbits” and the busybody types (eg re. facemask wearing). The fear of actually getting “the virus” is far less than in April or May but is still there in the background. Finally, the threat of a £100 fine is there, though that is probably the least-powerful of the reasons why there has not been much dissent and/or rebellion (eg by not wearing facemasks).
One has to judge the public mood by experience and anecdote in this. I went to a local pharmacy yesterday. I put on a small disposable mask on entering (mask below nose though), just to do the minimum to avoid being refused service. In fact, the pharmacist and assistant, though shielded by perspex screens, were not wearing masks; neither was the only other shopper, a blonde lady of about 50 or so.
It seems that about 17 boats full of migrant-invaders crossed the Channel yesterday, aided by hot weather and almost no wind. 250+ invaders. In one day.
So will Priti Patel do anything except pretend to be “furious”? No. Will the Navy sink the boats of the invaders? No. Will the Navy shoot the invaders? No. Will the Navy “turn back” the invaders to France? I doubt it. So what will the Navy do, if anything? Bring the invaders to the UK? Most likely…
Priti Patel is useless. A useless bitch in a useless government. Somewhere in Uganda, a grocery store counter is unattended…
