Trump is promulgating tariffs on imports from a range of countries and blocs presently major trading partners with the USA. Canada and the EU, to name but two. China, too.
As many are pointing out, tariffs reduce trade, because they make imported goods (and/or services) more expensive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff.
Looked at from a different point of view, there are reasons why Trump’s tariff barriers might be positive for the USA, mainly because they might allow American industry, in decline for half a century, to revive.
“The tariff has been used as a political tool to establish an independent nation; for example, the United States Tariff Act of 1789, signed specifically on July 4, was called the “Second Declaration of Independence” by newspapers because it was intended to be the economic means to achieve the political goal of a sovereign and independent United States.[93]“
[Wikipedia].
In the short-term, Trump’s tariff’s may well cause domestic prices (within the USA) to inflate. In the longer-term, however, those tariffs may also create American jobs, and also increase America’s long-term security.
The USA is one of the few economies capable of being an autarky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autarky]. Others would be Russia and mainland Europe (the EU, presently).
There is little doubt, though, that in those countries that produce items exported to the USA, the Trump tariffs will cause economic damage, possibly severe damage. That in turn will cause political fallout.
The USA is a huge and vibrant economy. If turned inward, that may be able to create the prosperity and job security so lacking at present in many American communities. The USA should have been isolationist in the 1940s and afterwards, as it had been in the 1930s. It seems to me that that would be a good policy now for the USA. Economic isolationism allied to political isolationism.
The USA should build up purely defensive military and naval power, but avoid doing what it has done, particularly, since 1941, i.e. interfere all over the world. If that is done, American security will thereby be increased.

According to Electoral Calculus, the result of that, replicated in a general election, would be Labour— 179 Commons seats; Reform UK— 170 seats; Conservatives— 165 seats; LibDems 72; Greens, 7.
So a hung Parliament. Any of the top three could try to rule as a very weak minority government. Alternatively, Reform could ally itself in some form with the Conservatives, and get over the line that way. Maybe even a “grand coalition” of the System parties (LibLabCon). In that event, Reform would be the official Opposition, with every chance of later, after a further election, becoming the governing party.
Reform UK is morphing into a System party anyway, but the Overton Window is moving. Reform UK is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination.
Incidentally, were Reform to go from 26% to 27% (and all other parties stay where they are), the result would be Reform UK— 202; Labour 165; Conservatives 147; LibDems 72; Greens 7.

Why are we sending £15 billion to other countries around the world while taking winter fuel payments from British pensioners & treating British people in hospital corridors and car parks? Can anybody in power answer me that?
If Reform UK can become largest party in the Commons, they would have no need to “merge” with the Con-servative Party. They could govern as a minority government. If the System parties refuse to play ball, Reform could simply blame those other parties for the inability to govern, then call another general election, with every chance of getting a majority.
If the weakness of governments continues, that might be the opening a social-national movement needs in order to rise up.

In my own mind, knowing two or three people, previously healthy, who (having been multiply-“vaccinated” by the anti-“Covid” poison) have had to endure heart bypasses etc, I have no doubt that the sane thing to do is to avoid being dosed with this pharmaceutical effluent. I avoided the supposed “vaccines” and am very glad I did.
Doubt that I now count as anything other than one of the “newly-poor”, really; I used to use Waitrose often, about 4x a week, but over the past 15 years, especially the last 5 years, the quality of produce has worsened (much worse than Tesco, or even Lidl) and the once-stellar service from always-pleasant staff of all ages has deteriorated to the point of no return. I therefore rarely use Waitrose now.
My local area has a Marks & Spencer food store, and there is a Tesco 5 miles away, a Lidl and Aldi about the same distance. I like Lidl for its foreign products’ weeks, mainly, when they sell such as Polish sour-cherry juice, Greek feta etc.
As for free coffee, when you have to take your own cup in, the offer becomes much less attractive.
Ha ha! Ridiculous System talking head blames online retailer for selling a knife used by a non-white crazie to attack a child. That is so typical of Britain today.
In the past, if a shop sold a knife, or even a firearm, later used by some criminal or lunatic to hurt or kill some one else, the criminal or lunatic was blamed, not the retailer!
The James O’Brien type (a type found not only in the msm, but also among the more self-deluding part of the public) is desperate not to blame the influx of backward populations, aka “the diversity”, for crimes of that type. Oh, no, it must be the fault of those selling knives!
I wanted to buy a knife (for more usual purposes) recently, in Tesco (I think it was). Sorry, we no longer sell knives…
When will this madness end? When “the diversity” are chucked out, I suppose, and not until then.
Actually, I do not blame only the criminal or lunatic— I blame also those responsible for importing backward populations into Europe, including the UK.

A few thoughts about Trump’s first days as President of the USA
My random thoughts start with the fact that Trump is unlikely to start a nuclear war with Russia. For me, that is number one, the question of primary importance. For a while, it looked as though the NWO/ZOG cabals were about to succeed in causing a third major war in Europe but, as far as I can see, that danger, though still present, may now be receding.
In fact, looking at Trump’s recent tweets about North Korea and other areas of the world, they read more like those of the businessman he is, rather than those of a warlord, statesman, or even ordinary politician. Trump is a businessman; he does not see the mileage in war or conflict— it interferes with the making of profits.
That businessman mentality is arguably out of place in the head of state of the most powerful state on Earth, but it has its positive aspect, i.e. the avoidance of war in Eastern and Central Europe, in the Middle East, and in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Presidential pardons for the rebels and/or protestors of 6 January 2020 are a very good thing, but I see that a number of social-national people convicted have been left unrescued. Trump should extend his courtesy and clemency to them as well.
Trump’s apparent hostility to a few countries not at all hostile to the USA —Mexico, Denmark (re. Greenland), Panama, and Canada— strikes me as entirely unnecessary.
I can only assume that Trump looks at the map, sees North America as a coherent whole, and then concludes that that whole continent should be under one rulership, US rulership. I seem to recall seeing a film (maybe starring Gary Cooper, not sure) in which an oligarchic cabal has a plan to take over not only the USA but also all of both North America and South America (and the bit in the middle, Central America). Did Trump once, in his own childhood long ago, see that same film? We shall never know. He himself may not even consciously recall seeing it, if indeed he ever did.
I note that Trump now says that the Israel-Gaza war is “not our war“, which is interesting. To me that says that he, now serving his second and final term as US President, no longer needs the Jewish lobby (though he has more in common with them, arguably, than he does with the Arabs and other Muslims).
Trump is not only a businessman; he is also one who thinks that he can negotiate successfully with anyone, and on any issue. He even wrote a book about it, The Art of the Deal. Thus he believes that he can strike a deal with anyone or any group or nation, based on mutual self-interest. That is likely to be successful, much of the time, but will fall down and fail when the adversary or opposing party is not motivated by self-interest as such, but by some fanatical or uncompromising belief.
Anyway, there it is. The next 4 years has begun.
Elon Musk
Much kefuffle about Musk’s odd “salute” gesture at the Inauguration.
In fact, Stuchbery has never had so many views on Twitter/X— 11M at time of writing. I believe that so many views might result in Twitter/X (and so, ultimately, and ironically, Musk) paying Stuchbery about USD $95. More than the bastard has earned in years! Still, I think that he will have to continue to rely on the largesse of the German social security/welfare system for the time being…
Actually, though he poses as “historian”, Stuchbery is not really one, not in the accepted sense.
My popular 2019 (inc. later updates) blog post about Stuchbery (who used to tweet about me from time to time) has just spiked again, by reason of his having tweeted about Musk in the past day or so. Hundreds of people today alone.
I was once on a ship, the Oriana, going west to east through the Canal. In 1969. I was just (by about 2 weeks) 13 years old. The Canal was then in the Canal Zone, ruled by the USA. To go into Panama itself, tourists or visitors had to pass through a kind of US Customs and Immigration, in effect, though it was all done by special Canal Zone police. At age 13, I was fascinated by the sidearms worn by the said police. Real “Wild West” pistols, huge and heavy-looking, sticking out of leather holsters. The uniforms were khaki, I recall, with wide-brimmed “cowboy” hats, rather as in the photo below that I have just found online today:
The ones I saw had “Wild West” holsters, though, and bigger sidearms than those in the photo. The weapons were the other way around, too.
I had asked my parents to go on the short escorted tour of Panama City. Out of the nearly 2,000 passengers on the ship, only about a dozen or so had asked to go into Panama, possibly in part because the tour started in the very late evening.
I recall that the First Officer of the liner (who used to say hello to me as I swam endlessly up and down the swimming pool late at night— I was an odd boy, arguably) saw me waiting to disembark, as the ship was secured to the dock, and remarked to me that “every thief, murderer and rascal (I think it was) comes to Panama.” Obviously Panama was not his favourite place for shore leave…
The “run ashore”, in the Royal Navy phrase, was not without incident. The dark and quiet city was patrolled by submachinegun-carrying soldiers in groups. Nothing seemed to be open (perhaps unsurprisingly, at nearly midnight), and there was an air of menace. In fact, 1969 was a year of coups d’etat in Panama.
The evening ended with an unexpected diversion, literally. Our little single-decker bus, carrying the dozen intrepid passengers off the ship, was just about to fire up and drive back to the Canal Zone when a long-haired blond and youngish (30-ish) American man, in one of those leather jackets with tassels, and carrying a large knife, told the bus driver to drive to where he, a rather unfunny Crocodile Dundee lookalike (though this was 17 years before that film was released) wanted to go. I was seated right at the front, near the driver. The driver put up no more than token resistance. We drove to wherever it was that our hijacker (who stood up throughout the fairly short journey, brandishing his weapon) wanted to go; he then disembarked, to general relief. The driver drove back to the Canal Zone, fast.
My family did manage to take a more normal afternoon walk around, I think within the Zone itself, when the ship docked at the other end of the Canal, at or near Colon. I especially remember a shop where they sold all sorts of odd stuff, such as stuffed baby alligators about 6 inches long.
Incidentally, part of the trip through the Canal, the bit that is or seems natural, was like being in the film The Naked Jungle: small waterfalls falling from the jungle-clad shores, parrots etc. Incredible humidity.
Panama is of course very different today. I had some legal connection with it when I was a barrister doing offshore work. It changed out of all recognition after the American invasion and restructuring of, and after, 1989.
Trump’s idea of seizing the Canal seems to me misconceived. For one thing, there seems to be no need. For another, there is a plan to dig another Pacific-Atlantic canal, in Nicaragua, thus lessening, in theory, the risk of the Panama Canal being blocked. In any case, the USA has many large ports both on the Pacific and Atlantic, so why worry?
Another point would be that any seizure of the Canal would stir up huge anti-American sentiment across Latin America. So why…?

Incidentally, I happened to see a brief TV report yesterday about how the “net zero” nonsense will mean 5x or 6x the number of giant electricity pylons in the country. Some pathetic pseudo-environmentalists, including one from the RSPB, were there, bleating about how they support “net zero” and were “working” to mitigate the negative consequences of covering the country with giant pylons.

Though painfully slow, the Russian advance in the southeast of former Ukraine continues.
If and when Trump cuts off military materiel going to the forces of the Kiev regime, the Stavka can order a general advance with little prospect of serious opposition.
Ha. As I said, Trump thinks like a businessman, a property developer. Having said that, it may be that many actual Gazans might welcome heavy American investment, if it did not come with obvious Jewish control attached to it. At present, the enclave is pretty much uninhabitable. Massive investment would be needed to remedy the damage Israeli war crimes have done.
Translation: “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) wants hundreds of thousands of NATO troops, so that Russian forces can be pushed back, or so that NATO can in some other way be dragged into the war, or the next war.

“Major political mistakes, banal corruption and simply poor analysis of the situation – ignorance of history and misunderstanding of the nature of ‘Ukrainism’ – played their role ,” Medvedev said.
– “Biden did the worst at one point, essentially starting a war between the collective West and Russia, which almost turned into a nuclear conflict with NATO.”
” Recently, he clearly did not fully understand what was happening. Yes, we must admit, such a war is economically beneficial for the United States. But the political costs and the real danger of a fatal conflict are much greater. But the old man was not ready for this. This is a case when the head of the world’s largest power completely failed to cope with the situation . As a result, the Democrats unfortunately lost the elections. If Biden’s problem is his inadequacy, then the fault of his administration is that it deliberately left a very difficult crisis legacy on the Russian track for its successors. The harmful side effects of Biden’s decisions will continue to manifest themselves for a very long time , “Medvedev wrote on Telegram.
– “That is why it will take decades for Russian-American relations to fully normalize. Although, in my opinion, in the current reality this is impossible in principle. And frankly, it is not clear whether it is necessary at all,” Medvedev concluded.”

Does Starmer want the UK to become an irradiated wasteland?
Having said that, if it were only one massive warhead, landing on Central London, the centre of most of the socio-political degeneracy and corruption (and “the lobby”, i.e. “them”), it might at least have a silver lining…
It might even give the British people the chance to have a proper social-national government, and thus a new society, once the main enemies are eliminated.
Jesus H. Christ! That tweeter “@frankflynn20016” must be a complete idiot. He thinks that, if millions of Europeans cease to exist, and are then replaced by the same or a greater number of black Africans, Europe will be “saved”, or even that it will be better than it now is! What can you say to a view as totally asinine as that? Totally loonie.
Ah…seems that the photo below is that tweeter who believes that black Africans should populate or “repopulate” Europe. A non-European who seems to be a —probably temporary, probably American— resident of Argentina.

“She was elected to Parliament 7 years before him. She was (inexplicably) a Cabinet Minister now (inexplicably) LOTO. This crap needs to stop – not least because it looks so weak and the greybeards said she’s Boudica. A disgrace a fringe party with 5 MPs is currently out-performing the out-going government party.”
As Fiona Syms (ex-wife of an ex-MP) knows well enough, Reform UK is not really a “fringe party”. It has only 5 MPs because the electoral system in this country is both grotesquely unfair and grotesquely illogical.
At GE 2024 (and in rough terms), out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.
If Reform UK is “a fringe party“, then so is not only the Green Party, but also the LibDems (who got 500,000 fewer votes than Reform UK), and indeed the Conservatives, who received only slightly more than 1.5x the votes cast for Reform UK. Even Labour only received just over 2.3x the Reform UK vote.
In actual numbers: Labour 9,708,716; Conservatives 6,828,925; Reform UK 4,117,620; LibDems 3,519,143; Green Party 1,841,888.
If the people keep being ignored, they will eventually turn on the System parties.
I agree with Fiona Syms, though, re. how hopeless Kemi Badenoch is. Well, there you go. If you put people in positions because they are “diversity hires”, they will almost invariably be a waste of space. Look at Lammy…
At present, people are not only being prosecuted for “offences” of having allegedly published “unpleasant” comments but also for having published serious comment relating to important social and political (and historical) matters inconvenient to certain groups, especially the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. I should know. I myself have been victimized, for about 12 -13 years, by the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel lobby. What infuriates that lobby the most is that I refuse to be a victim. I continue to stand up for right, justice, and truth.
The articles below are presented in chronological order, from 2017 through to 2024.
The detail can be read, in part, in those articles but, overall, the anti-free speech campaign against me (and many others) has been spearheaded since 2014 by the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, which has relatively few active supporters, even in the UK Jewish “community”, yet presents itself as if in a leadership role. Jewish and/or pro-Israel employees of TV and radio stations make sure that the tiny handful of “CAA” spokespersons are given airtime, while unethical scribblers quote the “CAA” types in a few of the newspapers.
In reality, the “CAA” consists of a small handful of more or less full-time activists, and a larger but still very small number of supporters (some of which are plainly deranged).
Well, there it is. So far, the Jew-Zionists (the “CAA” and also “UKLFI”— “UK Lawyers for Israel”) have managed to have me disbarred (albeit 8 years after I had completely ceased work as a barrister), have me removed from Twitter (in 2018; pre-Elon Musk), have had the police telephone me and/or turn up at the door of my now-humble home several times over the past decade, and have had me subjected 2-3 times to “voluntary” (really, involuntary) police interviews.
The “lobby” has also now (in 2023; sentence in 2024) procured my prosecution and conviction under the “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (despite that Act having been recommended for repeal by the Law Commission).
Naturally, I pleaded Not Guilty (as I always would, were any other attempt to be made) and nearly succeeded, but was found guilty (on very dubious grounds), which resulted (a few months later) in my being sentenced to a 9-month “community order” (i.e. akin to the old “probation”) and which turned out to consist of half a dozen or so short chats —lasting 30 to 120 mins— with a rather charming young probation lady, and also a financial penalty (mainly notional court costs) amounting to £734 (over a third of which was paid by a few generous people who gave to a crowdfunder I set up on GiveSendGo).
I might have succeeded on appeal, but decided that the gamble was not worth the extra trouble and expense, on that occasion.
I was sentenced in mid-March 2024. My “probation” period lasted officially until December 2024 but in reality finished in early September 2024.
Still, I remain politically active in terms of comment, and the blog has been published uninterruptedly right through all that process and nonsense. Almost daily.
Any further attempts to prosecute me or to close down the blog will be met with the same resistance and contempt.
We shall see what transpires. “It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings” (at Wessex CPS, aka the “Clown” Prosecution Service, or generally).
Incidentally, quite a few of those who have tried to persecute me over the years have fallen victim to various medical conditions, or other dispensations of Fate; some have died.

Cloud cuckoo, did he pay you in kind for that tweet.
The name George Foulkes struck a faint chord, so I looked it up.
Turns out that George Foulkes was born in Shropshire in 1942, was educated partly privately, and was awarded a degree in psychology from Edinburgh in or about 1963-64, after which he apparently managed to avoid having to work in any job or profession (unless you include being f/t President of the Scottish Union of Students and then a local councillor) until elected as Labour MP in 1979 (he tried to become an MP in both 1970 and 1974 but failed).
Foulkes’ time as an MP was undistinguished. He tried to have Space Invaders and similar games banned in 1981 in case they caused “deviancy“, and introduced a few other private members bills which also got nowhere. He served on a few committees, for which he presumably received more money and/or expenses.
Foulkes was appointed a Labour shadow minister in 1992, but was forced to resign in 1993, having assaulted a policeman while drunk (and disorderly).
Foulkes, as both MP and peer, has belonged to a number of Commons committees dealing with the Caribbean, and thereby has received a large number of freebie trips (in effect, holidays) to the Caribbean.
Foulkes —naturally— tore the **** out of his expenses as an MP and, after having been elevated to the Lords, did the same as a peer. Wikipedia notes that his claimed “expenses” as “Lord” Foulkes during the financial year 2007-2008 alone amounted to nearly £55,000, worth about £100,000 in the money of 2025. He was also one of those Labour “parliamentarians” who tried to suppress exposure of his own and all other expenses claims.
Foulkes also “served” (and was well-paid) as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) during 2007-2011. No doubt he claimed plenty of expenses that way too.
The bastard also belongs to Labour Friends of Israel (what a surprise…). He favoured the invasion of Iraq. He was part of the anti-Corbyn caucus in Labour, needless to add.
So there it is. What a useless person, sadly typical of so many careerist, moneygrubbing, System-party politicians. “Dirty democratic politicians“, as Hitler called the Weimar Republic equivalent. These days, the word “democratic” might as well be omitted, of course.
Foulkes really should not be tweeting about honesty, integrity, and humanity…
Why are we importing hundreds of thousands of people into Australia from cultures which are completely at odds with our own? Why don’t we relax the regulations for people who wish to flee the UK instead. 🇦🇺🇬🇧
Sadly, Australia, where I lived and went to school for three years in the late 1960s, seems to have been making the same mistakes (promoted by the same or similar malicious groups…) as the UK and much of Europe. Plainly put, importing useless blacks and browns, and others such as Chinese. What a pity. So unnecessary and destructive.

Translation: “I remembered that I am a Zionist Jew, and that that trumps anything else, including everyone else’s rights“…
Even if Israel were to kill a million non-Jewish women, children, and other non-combatants (and the Israelis are well on the way, even in the past 15 months), many, perhaps most, Jews in both Israel and the West (including the UK) will respond to the expressed horror of others by referring back to the several hundreds killed by the Hamas assault of 7 October 2023.
A 15-month mechanized killing-machine operation, compared to an attack in one relatively small part of Israel abutting Gaza, which latter attack lasted a few hours, or a day or so.
Now the Israeli state is basically killing the surviving population in Gaza, via cold, hunger, destruction of hospitals, removal of help, medical aid, shelter, and also by randomly killing Gazan civilians of all ages.
No doubt, Israel will eventually settle the bulk, maybe the whole, of Gaza with militant Jews from places such as the slums of Brooklyn, or American/Australian/whatever suburbia.
At present, the Israelis are doing to Gaza exactly what the Romans did to defeated Carthage, but worse, because they are not even providing the survivors of the Gaza slaughter anywhere to go. Look at this report from the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz:
“ISRAEL: Members of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee say IDF’s actions in Gaza foil war’s objectives; all food, water sources must be destroyed.“
“It’s now time to fix the border,’ said one of the members of a group that gathered on the northern border during Hanukkah, to press for the expansion of the Galilee, into Lebanon.”
““Diluting the population,” “evacuating homes,” “expulsion,” “exile,” “emptying” and even “transfer.” A broad array of words was used by Israeli government ministers during the historic deliberations in the 1960s and 1970s.”
[Haaretz]
“Resettlement”? That sounds familiar. Where have I heard that before?…
Is that the plan? (as well as taking over all European and European-origined states from the inside, via the “you know who” fifth column)…
A few Israeli Jews are dissenting from the mainstream Jewish opinion, it seems:

If there is one (now-ex-) politician I despise, it is Clegg. In 2010, a gullible voting public gave him enough MPs to demand electoral reform. Gordon Brown was willing to give him the halfway house of AV (Alternative Vote) at once (in 2010) without even having to hold a referendum; then later a referendum on real proportional representation, in return for basic LibDem support in the Commons for a minority Labour government.
That could have changed everything, but Clegg and his pathetic LibDem crew sold out to the fake “Conservatives” under David Cameron-Levita, and for what? Ministerial jobs, red boxes, government cars, higher salaries, and the fiction that the LibDems were finally “in government” in a meaningful way. That and, as a figleaf, a rigged AV Referendum.
Clegg and his LibDem crew acquiesced in all the terrible and damaging policies carried out by the part-Jews Cameron-Levita and Osborne between 2010 and 2015, then jumped ship to work (at a salary in the millions) for the Jew Zuckerberg at Facebook in California.
Someone completely venal, and completely useless, with neither honour nor integrity.
Incidentally, “Shortly ahead of the election, Clegg was asked about his own expenses by Andrew Neil of the BBC. Clegg allegedly claimed the full amount permissible under the Additional Cost Allowance, including claims for food, gardening and redecorating his second home. The Telegraph also said Clegg claimed £80 for international call charges.” [Wikipedia].
He took every penny he could despite his inherited family monies and trust fund, and despite both he and his wife being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds annually via salaries and (possibly) more legitimate expenses claims. The “food allowance”, by the way, was (until done away with sometime after 2010) a boondoggle via which MPs could claim up to about £500 a month, no questions asked or receipts required, “for food”. Many MPs, like Clegg, and like that horrible Jewish-lobby puppet Tom Watson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Watson,_Baron_Watson_of_Wyre_Forest], claimed the full amount (worth at least £950 a month in the money of 2025) every single month.

The Trump team is not offering anything interesting to the Russian Federation in its signals regarding Ukraine ," says Russia's permanent representative to the UN Nebenzya. pic.twitter.com/FRqnjHpScX
My tentative opinion on that is that Trump is someone who likes to present himself as someone who gets things done. If Russia stays firm, Trump will offer more, probably.
From the Russian side, all that matters is whether Trump continues to give arms, ammunition, and money to the Kiev regime. There are three possibilities— more, less, or the same. “Less” can be split into “some” or “none”. My money is on “less” (but still “some”). That would mean that, in view of Russia’s superiority in numbers, arms, ammunition, and money, as well as having the backstop of both tactical and strategic nuclear weapons, Russian forces will continue to advance steadily in Eastern Ukraine during 2025.
As often said on this blog, Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.
Having said that, it is tragic that the Russian forces seemed pathetically incapable of executing a swift “Blitzkrieg for the sake of mercy” in early 2022, when the whole of Eastern Ukraine, as well as Odessa and Kiev, might easily have been taken with minimal loss of life and minimal damage generally.

On the morning of January 1, the transit of Russian gas to Europe through Ukraine was completely stopped due to Kiev's refusal to extend the agreement. The European Union may lose about 30% of pipeline gas import from Russia:https://t.co/RkQ8TRBDLhpic.twitter.com/vHnUnIFWLm
Seems as if making a cheap Jewish TV-comedian “President” of Ukraine and de facto generalissimo was not such a good idea…
More seriously, for how long can the Kiev-regime forces continue to suffer such losses? 1,000+ per day. That’s huge. Even if it is claimed that Russia is also losing enormous numbers, Russia has a far larger population; the likelihood is that Russian losses are anyway not as catastrophic as those on the other side.
Trump’s actions as US President will be key to how fast the Kiev-regime front continues to crumble. It is very unlikely that Trump will continue the open-handed Biden policy. There will certainly be no increase in the supply of arms, ammunition, and money to Kiev; there is every chance that the supply will diminish, and it may stop altogether.
Any peace agreement acceptable to the Russian side will probably involve the forces of the Kiev regime falling back on Kiev, at least, and across the entire front falling back across the Dnieper.
That alone will not solve the problem of Kiev itself; nor that of Odessa. It may be that a solution is to make them both “free cities” not organically part of either state.
Russia is probably willing to accept the above, so long as the rump Ukraine state (centred, arguende, on Lvov) does not join NATO.
Whether the present Kiev regime would accept such a peace is uncertain, but if the front continues to crumble, Zelensky —now ruling unconstitutionally, having cancelled elections— may have little choice. He is running out of “soldiers” (press-ganged cannon-fodder), his “state” is almost entirely dependent on Western aid (and the charity of NGOs and innumerable Western individuals), and Russia is forging ahead in terms of arms and numbers of men.
The only hope for Zelensky’s regime, now that the USA and most EU states are rowing back from the real peril of nuclear war, is that Russia implodes, and Putin is deposed (and then replaced by someone less determined). If that is going to happen, it will have to happen during 2025; after that, Russian forces will be at the gates of Kiev anyway.
“A woman who went missing 52 years ago has been found alive and well after police released a grainy photograph as part of an appeal, solving one of Britain’s longest-running missing person cases.
Sheila Fox, now 68, disappeared from Coventry in 1972 when she was 16. At the time, West Midlands police said she had been living with her parents and could have been in a relationship with a man. Officers said they were keeping an open mind, believing she may have moved out of the area.
On Sunday, West Midlands police launched a fresh appeal to help find Fox, releasing a photograph of her from around the time of her disappearance on their website and social media.
Within hours of it going out, members of the public had got in touch with information, and on Wednesday police officers confirmed that Fox was alive and well. They said she was living in another part of the country.“
[Guardian]
So the police decided to try to find a woman who (obviously intentionally) had wanted to live a different life, and who disappeared from her usual life 52 years ago, in 1972.
Why is public money being wasted like this?
If there are indications of “foul play”, then by all means try to find a missing person a year after disappearance; indeed, maybe 10 years, or even 20 years later. After that, better to draw a line under it.
In fact, as far as actual crimes are concerned, I believe that there should be more limitations of time than presently exist. Most magistrates’ court matters already have (and have had since 1980) a 6-month limitation period, which saves the courts and police from getting clogged by relatively trivial matters going back years.
Stupid Theresa May (Conservative Friends of Israel member) changed that in part, in respect of offences under Communications Act 2003, s.127 (a “bad law” anyway); such offences are now (sometimes) justiciable up to 3 years from commission, but all that has done is to embolden malicious nuisances, such as the Jewish “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], to nag the weak police and CPS to investigate and prosecute, pointlessly, tweets or blog posts years after they were allegedly posted. See my own free speech trial for example:
The whole purpose —wrongheaded anyway— of the legislation in question was to deter and punish “grossly offensive” tweets etc more or less at, or not long after, the time when they were published, not to enable malicious trolls to get the police and CPS to bring silly and pointless prosecutions years after the material comments or remarks were allegedly posted online.
The present systemic delay in court proceedings also means that an allegedly unlawful tweet or blog post published today, in early January 2025, might not be charged until early 2028, and might not come to court until late 2028, or 2029, or even, in extreme cases, 2030. Ridiculous.
Many countries have time limitation even for serious cases, even including such crimes as murder. Japan, for one. Also, many states of the USA.
Yes, it does mean that a few criminals, even murderers, are never prosecuted, merely by reason of effluxion of time, but “hard cases make bad law“, as we have seen in many of the laws passed in the UK in the past 20-30 years. The minds of police and prosecutors should focus on cases of (real) crime in the present world, not possible crimes committed years or even decades ago.
“People with Scandinavian ancestry were in Britain long before the Anglo-Saxons or the Vikings turned up, researchers have found after studying the genetics of an ancient Roman buried in York.
Instead of considering all of the genetic differences between populations, the new method focuses on relatively recent mutations within genomes – arising, for example, in the past 30,000 years or so – allowing the relationships between genetically similar populations to be explored in greater detail.
Among other findings, the team was able to shed new light on the migration of Germanic groups early in the first millennium, revealing at least two waves of migration from northern Germany or Scandinavia into western, central and eastern Europe.”

Ukraine will face major problems due to the suspension of Russian gas transit, said Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmytruk. ” Kiev’s losses are colossal. Ukraine will lose transit revenues, which previously amounted to $800 million per year ,” he added.
Dmytruk said that the Ukrainian authorities will try to compensate for the loss at the expense of domestic consumers, but “none of it will work.” He noted that this is another anti-state decision by Vladimir Zelensky.“
Of course, it seems odd that, during the currency of such a bitter conflict, the Russians have been pumping gas across Kiev-regime territory to Central and Western Europe for 3 years, with the full agreement of the Kiev regime, and paying the Kiev regime handsomely for facilitating that and for not interfering, in effect.
It’s a mad world, but that arrangement suited both sides; a “Devil’s alternative”, if you like.

According to him, at the same time, the West will not recognize Moscow’s territorial acquisitions. Some Western media outlets have reported that Vladimir Zelensky is allegedly ready to end the conflict without returning to Ukraine the territories controlled by the Russian military.“
Endgame?
In the General Election of 2024, over 40% of people decided not to vote. Many, perhaps most, of those non-voters were, in all likelihood, disgusted by the whole “Westminster Monkeyhouse”, by all System parties. Others voted Reform UK, as an angry gesture as much as anything. Things may be getting to the point where a majority of people in the UK, especially in England and Wales, consider elections a rigged waste of time.
It may be that only the present repression, MI5/police snooping, severe prison sentences, and the relative unavailability of weapons etc, are keeping the lid on more, and more-directed, incidences of uprising.
Only social nationalism can offer real hope, yet there exists no political party of any size offering people that as an electoral alternative.
The System might be able to relax, were its governments and ministers, such as the government led by “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer, competent or lucky. Such is, however, not the case.

“NATO will be demilitarized for a decade in the event of a conflict with Russia and China , said American military expert Will Shriver. “
“In a conventional conflict against China and Russia, NATO would exhaust all its stockpiles of missiles of all types, lose dozens of large warships and hundreds of its best aircraft – and all in less than a month ,” he added.“
The UK should stay out of any such conflict which, if it starts, might well go nuclear, finishing our country forever.
Having said that, if NATO were to lose such a conventional war, part of the ensuing peace agreement might —speculating rather much— involve the demilitarization of the UK under a properly British but pro-Russian, or not-anti-Russian, government, perhaps a social-national one. That might actually be better for most British people than where we are now.

People guilty of antisemitism are usually found guilty of a lesser crime, such as bringing an institution into disrepute or expressing hate for political reasons.
Antisemitism isn’t considered important, which is why it’s frequently followed by “and all other forms of prejudice”
The latter tweeter, a propagandist for Israel and the Jewish-Zionist lobby [https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/alex-hearn-claims-to-oppose-antisemitism-but-undermines-the-fight-against-it/] says that “antisemitism” is a crime, which is not the case in England and Wales (or the rest of the UK). That has been re-iterated on several occasions by judges at both magistrates’ court and Crown Court level. Incidentally, the same is true of so-called “holocaust” “denial” (historical revision or revisionism re. some events of the early/mid 1940s).
I have no idea what Dutch law may say about that, though Jewish influence has always been pervasive in the Netherlands, a result no doubt of the country’s history of banking and commerce.

The destruction wrought by Israeli forces in Gaza can truly be called “Biblical” in both scale and intent, as when the tribes mentioned in the Old Testament fought genocidal wars.
It is idle for Jew-Zionist lawyers (ludicrously, often those who pose as “human rights” specialists) to say that, because of X, Y, and Z, the Jewish/Israeli destruction and continuing slaughter in Gaza (for nearly 15 months now) is not “genocide” for various hair-splitting reasons. What has happened, what is still happening, speaks for itself.
Look at what has happened all around Israel/Palestine for years, for decades. “They” always bring degeneration and destruction to others.

Not bad. Showing, at least in my view, the influence of several British composers, including Vaughan Williams.
Every day, more of the same. The names of the villages mean little to most people, even in the former Soviet Union, but the upshot is that, every single day, Russian forces advance by a few miles, as the Kiev-regime forces fall back.
On that front, once the Russian forces, pushing north, get close to Kharkov, the Kiev-regime forces will be squeezed from at least two sides. Eventually, Kharkov must fall.
Once Kharkov falls, the whole of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper) will fall to Russian control.
Incidentally, though Kharkov itself is not very well-known to the Western public, it is the second-largest city in Ukraine, and the 19th-largest in Europe (by population).
"Starmerism is anti-politics: preferring committees and 'experts' to Parliament. His Attorney General paints anyone who dares criticise our institutions as a malicious 'populist'. This just shows their lofty suspicion of democracy."@Madz_Grant on the Sceptic.
The present Attorney-General is a Jew. Does that mean that he will be rubberstamping more politically-motivated anti-free-speech trials? Possibly. Watch this space…
Can free speech survive Keir Starmer? I've written a piece for Spiked about the attacks on free speech the Labour Government is planning to launch in 2025. https://t.co/D86MwR1qyd
Toby Young (etc) never stood up for my rights of free speech, nor those of Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, and other martyrs. Still, his point is still valid.
What a horrible, limited mentality so many of such pro-multikulti, “woke”, anti-British persons have…they hate us, so we are not only entitled, but duty-bound, to hate them…

Look at that. Total Jewish/Zionist ethnic supremacism. There you see the real rulers of Kiev-regime Ukraine. For now.
It may seem trivial to be concerned about this very typical 2024 story, but it says something about the decline of Britain over, particularly, the past 20 years, as does the decline of that once-proud chocolate brand, Cadbury’s (now “Cadbury”), bought by a basically Jewish American company (Kraft), then trashed, its production moved to Eastern Europe and Asia, the British factories closed, the British workers sacked, the tradition and pride gone. “Cadbury” is now part of a global brand-owner called Mondelez.
It all betokens a shrinking of horizons, a decline, a sell-out in every way.
Late thoughts on New Year’s Eve
[“Hold up, Guv’nor! 2025 is about to start, and Ian Millard’s still blogging!“]
More seriously
God knows what 2025 will bring to the world, to Europe, to Britain, and to each of us, but we must all keep in mind the necessity for continuing human evolution, and that requires an ethno-cultural and socio-political foundation for a society which, over time, can create the basis for an eventual quantum leap in evolution, a race and society far ahead of any presently in existence.
