As I know only too well, free speech is on the way out in the UK. I am (obviously) not a Muslim, let alone an “Islamist”, but I am not at all “offended” by some foreign person shouting about “Jihad” against Israel in the streets of London. I am not even very offended, or would not be, if the same foreign individual were to cry out for “Jihad” against the UK, or against me personally. After all, the most extreme Zionist Jews have been tweeting malevolently about me for about 13 years. The people of whom to be afraid are those not shouting in the streets.
If foreign (inc. foreign but born here) groups are a danger, then resettle them outside the UK.
As for Suella Braverman, she (like Jenrick, and Mark Harper, who was weaselling for Israel, as usual, on Sky News this morning) is just another doormat for the Jewish lobby. She has no idea of much, either politically or, I think, legally. A silly woman who is trying to position herself to be the leader of whatever small group of Conservative Party MPs is left after 2024.
In the old rhetorical question, how do you shuffle a pack consisting only of jokers?
The only “shuffle” that might have at least a slight effect would be to replace Sunak by someone recognisably English and at least superficially credible. The same with the Cabinet as a whole. At present, the song might be “where have all the English gone?“

Just what does this mean, when one also reads that no less than 75% of “asylum” claims are being approved?!
Just a weasel-trick lie from yet another corrupt puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby. Just another way of funnelling more non-whites into this suffering country.
Eventually, Israel will be isolated, and its population will be trapped within its chosen boundaries, just as the people of Gaza are now trapped within their never-chosen boundaries.

“On September 25, 2000, 19-year-old Kevin Hines attempted to end his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Plunging over 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour, he hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae and narrowly missing severing his spine by two millimeters.
Despite the odds, he miraculously survived the impact. Upon realizing he was still alive, an intense will to live surged within him. Yet, the weight of his clothes continuously pulled him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay. For what seemed like an eternity, he struggled to resurface briefly, gasping for air, just enough to hold on to life.
Suddenly, he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water’s surface, where he remained until the Coast Guard arrived. It was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat: a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived, as eyewitnesses had observed.
His story gained major media coverage and he has since become a motivational speaker and advocate for suicide prevention.“
Unsurprising. “They” have already destroyed free speech in the UK…

The death toll in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip has exceeded 5 thousand, and more than 15 thousand people have been injured, the local Ministry of Health reported.
It is not impossible that there will eventually be a kind of sectarian/civil war across Israel/Palestine. The massive military advantages Israel possesses lie in nuclear weapons, tanks and other armour, air power, high-tech surveillance, much of which loses effectiveness or even utility in closely-packed areas (which describes much of Israel/Palestine).
There may be a war, eventually, in which infantry or guerrilla forces play a major part.
Impossible? Maybe, but my prediction, a few years ago, that the Palestinians might break out of their “open prisons” to attack Israeli civilians in Jewish areas has now come to pass in the recent attack on Southern Israel, so who knows?
Senior advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Mark Regev: We realize that the battle will be difficult in Gaza, and Hamas has built a formidable military machine.
As I blogged before, the Gaza situation, as it now is, is most similar, historically, to the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, but this time the Jews are not the ragged defenders but the heavily-armed and armoured army, with air support, attacking an urban enclave filled with mostly-unarmed civilians (in this case, mostly babies, young children, and young teenagers).

Andrew Bridgen is considered very dangerous by the System, because he is an MP, not someone opining on Twitter/X or Facebook.

Looking also at the present political climate, and the great unpopularity of the present government, it may be that Bridgen has as much chance as a “Reclaim Party” candidate as he would have had as a “Conservative” Party one.
Reclaim Party is a dead duck, in my opinion, but Bridgen has a high public profile, and it is just about possible that, if the Conservative Party vote in the constituency collapses, or reduces by 40%-50%, and if the Labour Party vote only increases slightly, that Bridgen might just manage to come through the middle and win by a short head. A long-shot, but just about possible.

All part of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: select non-whites to become MPs, TV presenters, actors in TV shows etc. Many of the political ones are actually outright frauds, like that Festus character. Shaun Bailey is another one, and he now sits in the House of Lords as a fake “lord”, “lording it” over British people.
What exactly are the academic and professional qualifications of Festus Akinbusoye? He seems to have wangled his way from being an aide to a tory MP to Police & Crime Commissioner. A case of cronies being lined up to fight ex-tory seats?
Tamworth 36% turnout, Mid-Bed 44%. Tamworth 46% for Lab, Mid-Bed 34%. It means in Tamworth 83.5% DIDN'T vote Labour and in Mid-Bed 85%. People want change but they want real change not archaic monolith so-called mainstream parties. You're an idiot to want a vast Labour majority.
“Festus” (in Mid-Bedfordsire) too; he kept his job (and pay) as Police and Crime Commissioner, just in case he failed to get elected. Those “PCCs” are the biggest wastes of space around (arguably). Most of them seem to be both stupid and corrupt.
As for Andrew Cooper (in Tamworth), marginally better, but struck me, reading about him, as pretty stupid.
Thoughts about the by-elections in Tamworth and Mid-Bedfordshire
Obviously, “seismic” for the Conservative Party. I have blogged previously about the by-elections, but will say a little more know that the results are in.
This is surely the end of the road for the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, and his Government. So far, he has said nothing, and is still in the Middle East, having been doormatting for Israel and the Jews for the past few days.
Will Sunak now resign? If not, his party will undoubtedly be wiped out next year. If he does step down now, it may give the Con Party a slight chance of at least limiting the damage. That would depend, though, on finding a replacement at least superficially credible.
In my view, neither of the Labour victories yesterday were really votes for Labour as such; they were votes for Labour as the best way of defeating the candidate of the “Conservative” Party.
In Tamworth, the rather poor Con Party candidate still received 40.7% of the vote (Lab 45.8%). In Mid-Bedfordshire, “Festus”, the Con Party candidate, received 31.8% (Lab 34.1%).
Both were fairly close contests, but their importance lies in the fact that both had been considered pretty solid Con Party seats, despite the poor quality of both MPs elected in 2019 and previously.
At present it looks as though the Con Party may be left with about 50 seats after 2024, unless something huge happens in the meantime.
What else? Well, the LibDems performed very badly, especially at Tamworth, where the LD candidate, an Indian barrister, received a vote of only 1.6%.
As far as broadly “nationalist” candidates and parties are concerned, poor in both contests. The barely-nationalist Reform UK, the latest Farage-ist vehicle, scored 5.4% at Tamworth, and 3.7% in Mid-Beds. Underwhelming, looking at the surrounding circumstances.
Reform UK will not get anywhere because it is not social-national. A less globalist Con Party, really. It may even have been set up as a “safety valve” to prevent a social-national party from emerging.
Rump UKIP, and Britain First, both stood at Tamworth. Both lost their deposits.
Conclusion: people generally, even former Con Party voters, want rid of the present Government. The next General Election, sometime in the next 14 months, may be almost existential for the Con Party. 50 MPs, perhaps. That is now a distinct possibility. Unlikely that Con Party will retain more than 100 MPs, even bearing in mind that by-elections are more likely to produce upsets. The turnout in both seats was about half of what it was in 2019.
I detect no real enthusiasm for Labour, though. These two results were both caused by people voting tactically to remove candidates of a party now almost universally despised (and which has been unwilling to face the electorate, despite having selected 2 new PMs, for 4 years).
The “Conservative” Party MPs are saying that it will all be different at the 2024 General Election. Really? Why? Why should it be? I think, on present evidence, that the result will be much the same as yesterday, though with a slight adjustment in the Con Party favour, by reason of higher turnout and because some may have reservations about creating a Labour “elected dictatorship”.

See Lammy trying to answer a few not very difficult quiz questions:
If or when Labour forms the next UK government in 2024, that will be “our” Foreign Secretary…At least James Cleverly, useless and stupid as he is, is nonetheless somehow wise enough not to pretend that he knows anything or is anything much beyond useless. A lesson Lammy has never learned.
By comparison, the UK overall has an average population density of about 280 persons per square kilometre, the highest density being in London (about 5,500 per square kilometre).
Imagine about a quarter of the population of London (c.2M) being ordered, effectively on pain of death, and by an alien force, to move from one end of London to the opposite end. Hospitals full of immobile patients; infirm or sick people without road or other transport; babies and small children; companion animals too.
That is what the Jews of Israel, and egged on by most Jews outside Israel as well, are visiting upon the mostly helpless population of Gaza.
Not just Jewish bullies. Inhuman. Their behaviour is inhuman.
In the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, the Provisional IRA conducted a terror campaign in the UK from bases in Ireland, some of which were in the Republic. Some “mainstream” Irish TDs (MPs) of the post-1949 era, and even one or two Irish taoiseachs (Prime Ministers), such as Charles Haughey and Sean Lemass, were pro-IRA to a greater or lesser extent. The UK did not bomb Dublin or Dundalk, still less invade the Republic.

“Baroness” Warsi is and always was a waste of space, but at least she is not a complete puppet of the Israel/Jewish lobby in the UK. Sunak is. Starmer is.
That ridiculous creature Suella Braverman also is completely in the Zionist pocket. Married to a Jew, she now seems to be moving from a position (some time ago) of support for “free speech” to, now, one of saying that anyone criticizing Israel or Jewish behaviour, or supporting the people suffering in Gaza, will face prosecution.
I know that she was never much respected when she worked as an ordinary barrister, but this is moving to a police-state position on freedom of expression.
In fact, how long will it be before anyone in politics, law, the mass media, will have to pledge allegiance or fealty to the Jews and Israel, or face complete “cancellation” professionally? It has already gone some way towards that in the UK, USA, Australia, even France and Germany.
A —superficially— “velvet glove” type of finance-capitalist “Stalinism”, if you like.
When Suella Braverman made her speech about migration-invasion recently, I found some aspects of it with which I could agree, despite (of course) believing that persons only notionally British should not be Cabinet ministers, or indeed prime ministers.
However, any UK politician who curries favour with the Jewish lobby/Israel lobby is not one who deserves any respect at all.
Incidentally, she has now thrown the “Community Security Trust” or “CST” (the Jew-Zionist strongarm and snoop organization) another ยฃ3M of taxpayers’ money (they were given ยฃ14M just recently).
I read about that the same day as I found out that a hospice known to me, a wonderful peaceful place which I visited several times about 6 years ago, may have to close because it faces a financial shortfall of “only” ยฃ100,000. About 11% of its income comes from government funds.
ยฃ3M given to an organization controlled by ultra-wealthy Jews at a time when hospices (etc) are closing because Suella Braverman’s government will not supply more money (a small fraction of the monies given to the “CST”).
The priorities of UK politicians are rotten to the core.

Owen Jones
I see that Owen Jones has contrived to get more public attention:
What Jones fails to point out is that that British-imposed law probably had a penalty for breach of a small fine or a short prison sentence. I admit that I do not know exactly how much or how long. The Arab/Islamist penalty (I presume, and have seen news to that effect previously) is something like getting thrown off a building, or getting a bullet in the head.
When I was practising at the Bar in London during 1993-1996, I used to do quite a bit of Judicial Review work at the High Court. Most, though not all, was either immigration or housing-related. One such case was a Pakistani fighting deportation to Pakistan on the ground that he was a member of an Islamic sect considered heretical by the other Muslims.
I think, subject to correction, that there are about 70 different sects in Islam.
The said “heresy” was punishable (probably still is) by a maximum penalty of death. The original law prohibiting such belief and/or membership had been passed by the British rulers under the Raj, in the 19th Century.
The devil is in the detail. The original British law provided for a small fine by way of punishment. After Independence and Partition (1947), the law itself was kept exactly as it had been when first passed, but the penalties increased gradually from that original small fine to larger fines, terms of imprisonment, and finally (I think in about 1980 or so) to the death penalty.
The outcome of that case at the High Court in ~1994 is not relevant to my point but, as far as I can recall, the case was listed before a judge who said that he had made a study of the particular sect in question (God knows why). I suppose that he was well-placed to judge the matter fairly. I think that he remitted the case to be reviewed further by the Home Office in the end.

Perhaps the Israelis are planning to simply reduce the main populated parts of Gaza to rubble, like the Romans did to Carthage, so that no-one can live there for many years, perhaps hundreds of years. They might decide to poison the area with radioactive elements, for example. Very evil.
If what the Israelis are doing right now to the Gazan population is, as they and their Western mouthpieces claim, not a war crime, then there is something wrong with the definition of a war crime.

Israel already carries a very heavy karmic burden of evil; the present slaughter and distress being visited on civilian victims in Gaza (half of the population is under-18, and about a quarter are babies or children under 12) can only increase that.

A sign of the times.
In 2023, the proper word for the UK is “occupied”…
I do not have much time for any sort of Arabs as a group, any more than I have much time for Israelis or Jews generally (i.e. as a group). Both groups have their positive and negative points. However, both what the Israeli state is doing to the civilians in Gaza, and how the Jews elsewhere in the world are justifying that, is just evil and, in a word, inhuman.
I am reminded of someone I knew slightly in the early 1980s, about 1984-1985, when I belonged to the (now long-defunct, I believe) Kensington Rifle and Pistol Club. I suppose that he was about 55-60. I cannot recall his name.
Born in Gaza (I think) and an odd (?) mixture, half-Palestinian Arab, half-Russian, he was a pretty good pistol shot, and worked as a civil servant. I remember that, one evening, at the Club bar, he invited me to go, on some unspecified future day, to meet his (I think English) wife, but he died unexpectedly not long after, and in an unusual way.
The individual of which I speak worked at a government office very close to Lambeth North Underground Station. Co-incidentally, I myself was also there quite often, because I took part-time (a couple of evenings per week) Russian and German at nearby Morley College in Westminster Bridge Road.
There are or were no escalators at that station, only a large and ancient lift. I sometimes ran up the (about 90-100) stairs to the top, for exercise. It seems that the Russian-Palestinian fellow had no choice but to climb the stairs one day when the lift was out of operation. He got to the top, but suffered a heart attack and died there. The Evening Standard had a small story about it. I regretted being unable to offer his wife my condolences, not knowing her address or telephone number, and never having met her.
That Russian-Palestinian man had told me over a drink at the Club bar about how, in the Palestinian refugee camps of the day (1980s), sanitation and water supply were very basic, probably more so even than today (until a week or two ago, anyway), and how if a child lived to age 2, he or she was almost invulnerable to disease caused via bacteria, because the immunity was so strong. He himself cannot have been born in such a camp, though, because he must have been born in the 1920s, maybe early 1930s, before the Nakba (the late 1940s ethnic cleansing carried out by the Jews).
Just a stray memory or two…

๐ต Liz Truss is to challenge Rishi Sunakโs government with a so-called alternative budget

I have no idea whether Liz Truss has some kind of deluded “plan” in doing this. Does she not understand that she and Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng) lost what little credibility they ever had a year ago?
Actually, why is she doing this? Can it be that she thinks that after the quite likely wipeout this Government is probably going to experience in 2024, whatever is left of the Parliamentary Conservative Party (maybe as few as 50 MPs, maybe 100 or so) will turn to her?
It still seems strange to think of Liz Truss as a former Prime Minister. 49 days of absolute rollercoaster turmoil.

It is now an ethical duty for those who have any kind of public platform, even one as relatively little-seen as my blog, to stand up against the Israeli war machine and repression apparat.
If the intention of the Israeli government is to seize about half of the already-crowded Gaza Strip, and to force the 2 million inhabitants (half of whom are under-18) to exist somehow in the remaining half —or even third— that would create social and living conditions far far worse than those seen even in the much-publicized Warsaw Ghetto of the early 1940s.

What “Westerners” are up against here is the mindset of a tribal people whose designated ancient history, and religious celebrations right up to the present-day, are largely about ethnic supremacism, ethnic cleansing, wars against other peoples etc. Look at the Old Testament.
Those who, like most white Northern Europeans, think by default as post-Enlightenment liberals, do not understand much of the Israeli mindset, which somehow bypasses those liberalistic Enlightenment values, just as Hebrew, a dead language in the 19th Century, was deliberately resurrected for use in the 20th/21st centuries.

Thick part-Jew trustafarian Zac Goldsmith seems unaware that Mandela was tried, convicted, and imprisoned not for his simplistic and stupid political views, but for conspiring to start a terror campaign and race war in South Africa: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivonia_Trial.
At that trial, the defendants were all Africans or Jews, and the defence lawyers were almost all Jewish. One defendant was acquitted at the direction of the trial judge.
Incidentally, Mandela was allowed to give a three-hour-long speech from the dock. Try doing that in the UK of 2023!
“At the beginning of the defence’s proceedings, Nelson Mandela gave a three-hour speech from the defendant’s dock, in which he explained and defended the ANC’s key political positions.
He justified the movement’s decision, in view of the increasing restrictions on permitted political activity on the part of non-White Africans, to go beyond its earlier use of constitutional methods and Gandhian non-violent opposition to the state, embracing a campaign of sabotage against property (designed to minimize risks of injury and death), while also starting to train a military wing for possible future use.” [Wikipedia].

According to Malcolm Rifkind the Israeli government is not ordering civilians in Gaza to move south. It is simply a suggestion. A matter of common sense. We would appear to be in the ugly Tory moral territory of Rees-Mogg on the people who died in the Grenfell Tower fire.

My attitude to the present Israel/Palestine situation can probably be summed-up by the cartoon below:
Threatening people with police action for expressing their (albeit misguided and hateful) opinions is not a productive or ethical solution. While it's understandable to feel outraged and disgusted by these abhorrent views, the answer isn't to criminalize them, but rather toโฆ
What about the UK-based Jew-Zionists applauding the slaughter of civilians (many of them children) in Gaza, whether or not those Jews usually say, in effect, “oh dear, how sad, never mind” (and place the blame with the Gazans for not surrendering every last vestige of human rights to the Israeli ethnostate)?
Suella Braverman is Priti Patel Mark 2: plenty of tough words about the cross-Channel migrant-invaders, but little action, little plausible policy, and completely in the pocket of the Jewish/Israel lobby. Another waste of space.
So Israel should right the wrongs that they can. Don't expect a people to peacefully accept dispossession and life in a concentration camp.

There is nothing much that the Palestinian Arabs can do to counter the massive Israeli military force in the field. They do not have jet fighters, tanks etc. However, in the close confines of Gaza, especially Gaza City, it may be a different story, one more akin to some of the battles seen over the past year in Ukraine; or at Stalingrad 80/81 years ago.
Well, not so good this week: 4/10, though that was still enough for me to beat, yet again, political journalist John Rentoul (who scored 3/10). I knew the answers to questions 1, 6, 7, and 9.
The NWO/ZOG conspiracy has been exposed —yet again— in the past week. The masks really have come off. Von der Leyen, Macron, Nigel Farage etc, as well as more obvious puppets of Israel and the Jewish lobby such as Starmer, Sunak, and the “tail wags dog” American government and msm.
Tommy Robinson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson_(activist)] gives his opinion. He claims, with reasonable plausibility, that he is not getting money directly from Israel (though that leaves in the air the question of from where he does get the money upon which he lives in his Spanish exile).
I slightly sympathize with “Robinson’s'” dislike of Hamas and even Fatah, but he seems unaware or uncaring about the strategic “big picture” that has unfolded since 1948 in Israel/Palestine.
I should be interested to see a similar graphic, I suppose it would have to be an ordinary graph, showing the amount and/or proportion of the UK economy controlled by Jewish interests in 1890, 1923, 1956, 1989, and this year.
“Robinson” might care to factor-in to his future comments the question of which group or groups control the political and msm narrative(s) in the UK, and in the West more generally. Not Hamas or Fatah, and not —most of the time— the Muslim community or communities, but mainly the Jewish lobby and/or Israel lobby.
If the Palestinians supporting Hamas (etc) are monstrous, they have been made monstrous— by Israel.

The West has lost moral authority. That is what happens when your governments are corrupted by Jew-Zionism not only in the Middle East but also in our own countries; in the UK, USA, France, Germany etc.
I should date the loss of American moral authority specifically (despite all that has happened since 1776) mainly to the events that happened in Iraq and Afghanistan a couple of decades ago, and what flowed from those invasions. The terrible Abu Ghraib, Bagram and other torture programmes, including so-called “extraordinary rendition”; also including the concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay.

Saw many tweets etc against the Jew Shapps; a few in his favour, too. What strikes me as incredible is that many discuss his words as if the fact that he is a Jew (indeed a fanatical Zionist Jew) is not really relevant! “After all, he has a UK passport“, “he was born in the UK, in Hertfordshire” etc…
At least with the Israeli Jews in positions of political authority, you know that almost all of them have been in uniform, and quite a few have seen action (i.e. what you see is more or less what you get) but in Britain we now have the Shapps type, who really know nothing about defence or anything else. Not only Jews, incidentally— look at, to name only one other, Gavin Williamson. I blogged about him 4+ years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/.
Actually, Britain cannot “go to war” anyway. For that, you need a functioning Army, Navy, and Air Force. Our very-reduced armed forces are now almost powerless, and indeed almost useless. In fact, I begin to wonder what is the point of even having them. Our very borders are open to any who wish to cross the Channel in a rubber boat. Migration invasion.
Grant Shapps, transport secretary who failed to keep HS2 costs under control. Rewarded as defence Secretary. This is what we live in.
Needless to say, Matthew Parris fails to note that Shapps is a Jewish Zionist. I suppose that Parris wants to keep his job; anyone even noting en passant whether someone, even someone as incompetent and dishonest as Shapps, is a Jew, faces loss of job, loss of money, etc, maybe even prosecution…in fact, the Zionists rely on that kind of intimidation (in Europe, where the Jews have no Israeli Defence Force or secret police with which to frighten people).
Since the recent Gaza events, I have seen several tweets by well-known Jews in the UK effectively threatening to report to police, presumably to those police playing at “counter-terrorism”, anyone criticizing the Israeli actions.
Typical.
Incidentally, I have today seen tweets by Jews in the UK who support the Israeli actions, one saying that “In 2008, during [Operation] Cast Lead, Hamas had rockets that could only go a few kilometers. Now they can go 250 km. In 2008, Hamas didn’t have drones, amphibious assault teams, anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles. Now they do.“
I agree with that. The operational capabilities of Israel’s enemies, both in Palestine and elsewhere, have grown greatly. The population of Tel Aviv will, sooner or later, be protected from air attack little more than is, now, the unfortunate population of Gaza.
In the old proverb, “old sins cast long shadows“…

Weโre into the eighth day of Israelโs assault on Gaza now and so far they have killed about 700 children. Thatโs an average of 100 PALESTINIAN CHILDREN KILLED EVERY DAY!!!
Genocide doesnโt even go far enough to express this reality.
While “technically” perhaps not genocide, this is at least quasi-genocide.
Again it strikes me that, while the Israeli Jews kill tens of thousands (which may eventually be hundreds of thousands) in Gaza, the most vocal-on-social-media Jews in England are whining (and lying) about how they and their neighbours etc are “fearful” or “afraid“, or even “terrified” of (very limited, mostly “defensive” and only very rarely physically-manifested) “antisemitism” in the UK.

“The Israeli army continues to delay the start of the ground military operation in the Gaza Strip.
Now the IDF command has announced that the army will launch a ground operation after assessing the number of residents remaining in the enclave. The ID command had not previously mentioned such a condition. But the world community’s reaction to the events in the Gaza Strip could not but affect Netanyahu and his entourage.
Therefore, for the time being, the decision was made to achieve the evacuation of only the majority of the population from the enclave.
According to numerous Arabic TV channels, more than 800 thousand people have now left the northern Gaza Strip. However, a significant number of civilians still remain in the enclave. If Israel launches a military operation while there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Gaza Strip, it will lead to tragic consequences for the population.
In addition, the Israeli authorities fear the risks associated with the start of a ground operation, involving new participants in the conflict, after which the IDF will have to fight on two, and even three or four fronts. In addition, there is a high probability that the US will not become directly involved in an armed conflict.
Therefore, Israel seems to be delaying the start of the operation not to estimate the number of civilian population in Gaza, towards which the Israeli authorities have long shown indifference, but to assess the real prospects and risks of an invasion.”

Stray thought about Gaza, Israeli “military action”, and social media
What strikes me most about the UK Jew-Zionist outpourings on Twitter/”X” is the sheer sadism and hatred many of the Jew-Zionists are putting out. Many of them are gloating about how the civilians of Gaza are about to be crushed, subjected to pain and devastation etc.
Many Jew-Zionists are effectively or actually saying that the Gazan population (half of whom are under 18, and at least a quarter of whom are young or very young children) deserve to be wiped out or, more euphemistically, “taught a lesson they will never forget“.
What makes their comments even more contemptible is that the said Jew-Zionists are sitting in comfort in places such as North-West London, or in other suburban enclaves. They cannot wait for the poor, repressed, and helpless population of Gaza to be killed or injured; they themselves are in no danger, yet they are now already pretending to be “victims” and/or “fearful” that they will somehow be subjected to a pogrom in the UK!
It seems to be an ingrained psychological disorder.

“The Israeli-Palestinian conflict distracts the West from Ukraine – expert It was no coincidence that the Hamas attack on Israel occurred on Vladimir Putinโs birthday, German expert Thomas Jaeger said in an interview with N-TV.
According to him, Russia is benefiting greatly from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Moscow hopes that Western attention and, accordingly, military forces will now be redirected from Ukraine to the Middle East. As a result, support for Kyiv will weaken, and this, in turn, will open the way to victory for the Kremlin.
At the same time, the main events are now unfolding in the United States, where Congress cannot agree on a budget containing financial assistance for Ukraine. The results of this political chaos will predetermine the further development of events.”
YouGov Scottish Westminster Voting Intention:

That would be a complete elected dictatorship, and one brought about not because voters really like Labour, but because the new multicoloured fake “Conservative” Party is not so much hated as despised (as useless). A Labour Party elected dictatorship by default.

Prisons in England and Wales are on the brink of maximum capacity, with 88,016 inmates last Friday โ leaving just 650 spaces spare.
The senior presiding judge for England and Wales, Lord Edis, ordered that sentencing hearings will have to be postponed from Monday, The Times reported.”
[Daily Mail].
There has been a sentencing crisis for years. While many crimes of drunken violence, acquisitive crime etc attract, quite often, non-custodial sentences, other crimes, often very minor, not only result in prison time but in very considerable time.
Look at the political realm. Harmless teenage fantasists who have downloaded online material such as the notorious Anarchist’s Cookbook (which was sold openly in London bookshops in the 1970s, and without the State imploding) have been sentenced to terms of 4, 5, even 7 years, incredibly. Anything (political or otherwise) involving illicit possession of a weapon (even a WW2 revolver) has attracted sentencing as severe, or more severe.
Likewise, there have been sentenced to prison people such as Alison Chabloz (sentenced to a number of months for posting “antisemitic” satirical songs and cartoons online), Jez Turner (a year, for having suggested in a brief speech in Whitehall that Jews should be driven out from England as they were under Edward I in the 14th Century), and “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch, sentenced to a very harsh 2.5 years for having posted “antisemitic” material on an internet radio station).
The alert reader will have noted the common factor in the immediately-above three Draconian sentences, but what do you expect when 10 Downing Street has the Israeli flag projected onto its facade? Or when Keir Starmer, posing as Labour Party leader, thinks that the Israeli ethnostate has every right to cut off water, food, and electricity (and everything else) from the 2 million inhabitants of Gaza.
As far as non-political crimes are concerned, one often sees newspaper reports these days about various types of criminal sentenced to, say, terms of 4, 5, or 6 years in prison, when a far shorter term of, say, a couple of years would really suffice. Likewise, people are sometimes —in fact, often— sentenced to a year or more in circumstances where, even retaining a custodial element, a few months would be more than enough.
At the present time, the crisis of available space would easily be solved if judges were to work out carefully, as they are supposed to do, the proper sentence in every case, but then, after all that, cut off a percentage, as an emergency administrative-judicial measure. Say 20%, so that a headline sentence of 5 years becomes one of 4 years, or one of 2.5 years becomes one of 2 years. That would scarcely impact anything other than space in prisons and, within a few months, would start to solve the present problem.
“Captain Sir Tom Moore‘s daughter has confessed to pocketing ยฃ800,000 from books written by the NHS fundraising war veteran.
In a tearful interview, Hannah Ingram-Moore revealed how the family received the money thanks to her father – whose lockdown walks raised ยฃ39million for the nation’s health service.
Mrs Ingram-Moore said her father wanted them to keep the profits from his three books: Captain Tom’s Life Lessons, One Hundred Steps and his autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day.
The family is also adamant that people buying the books were never told their money was going to charity.
However, the prologue of his autobiography calls this claim into question and suggests the veteran thought his books were just another way for him to raise cash.
The extract read: ‘Astonishingly at my age, with the offer to write this memoir I have also been given the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.’“
[Daily Mail].
I was in the minority of sceptics when the old ex-officer (he spent 6 years in uniform during WW2) started his “crusade”. While arguably wrongheaded, one had to respect the grit of the old fellow, yet the whole thing played into the “scamdemic” propaganda of the time, and even the ยฃ30M raised probably did little to help the maladministered NHS.
I could see that the daughter and her husband were basically a pair of freeloaders, if not outright frauds, but people so badly (and rightly) want to believe. In something. In anything. You only have to look at the well-known online “grifters” and frauds around. “Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, “Man Behaving Dadly” etc. There are dozens, probably hundreds, of them. They destroy trust in society, as do some of the family of the late Captain Moore.
Apparently, the Israeli regime is preparing for a big war.

#Updates: #Gaza Renewed Israeli air strikes on al-Karama neighbourhood in Gaza Wednesday morning UN says Gaza has food and water for 12 days, after Israel cut all electricity, fuel, food and water to the besieged enclave
The Captain Tom debacle is a prime example of how the media can get people to believe anything and of how dissenting voices are silenced by accusations of being unpatriotic
I think that I may start including a random historical note from Wikipedia etc in all my blog posts. It is quite shocking how few British people know their own history, even in outline.
[little boy and his dead cat, following Israeli air attack on Gaza]
Were the atrocities not so terrible, it would be funny to see the UK Jewish/Israel lobby all both pushing out (identical) Israeli propaganda and —at the same time— saying, when asked about the quasi-genocidal Israeli Gaza siege, and mass murder of Gazan civilians, “oh, no, that has nothing to do with us; we bear no responsibility” and “we are just opposed to antisemitism, the actions of Israel are nothing to do with our campaigning in the UK...”.
Etc.
Typical.
Incidentally, I have never seen political fraud and con-man Nigel Farage so pumped-up as when parroting the current Israeli propaganda line in the past few days.
“In the wake of the merciless assault by Hamas, Israel seems to be planning the same approach.
All the signs are that its government is preparing to retaliate on a massive scale, mobilising the country’s formidable armed forces against Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas.
Yet just as Iraq turned out to be a calamitous error, fuelling a lasting cycle of violence, so I fear that โ however understandable โ any attempt by Israel to exact its vengeance with a savage display of military might could be just as disastrous.”
“…a full invasion, such as Israel’s generals are surely discussing today, would be a bloody quagmire. For Jerusalem, it would mean a conveyor belt of tired soldiers fighting day and night, resupplying with food, water and military hardware, rotating and evacuating casualties, for months on end.
It would chew up thousands of troops for little or no benefit, and poison the Arab world, and to a certain extent the international community, against the Jewish state.
Alas, it looks like Israel is set to take precisely this route.
Already the country has launched a barrage of air strikes, causing heavy civilian casualties โ unsurprising given that more than two million people are living in a strip the size of the Isle of Wight.” [in fact, smaller than the Isle of Wight— 141 sq. miles as against 148].
“This bombardment has been buttressed by a siege designed to weaken the morale of the citizenry by cutting off their water and electricity.
Yet what is the ultimate objective? What does ‘victory’ for Israel even look like?”
[Gaza City, already devastated by Israeli air attack]
It would be even more interesting were Israel to face attack or, even more so, invasion from the directions of Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and perhaps even (though even less likely) from Egypt, and if the Palestinian Arabs of the West Bank were also to join in the fight.
The immediately-above scenario is unlikely, true, but the Americans must have some reason to have moved one of their fleets closer to the region.
If such a concerted invasion and uprising were to happen, though, Israel could be destroyed, its population fleeing in panic.

I face trial late next month on 5 counts of contravening the notorious s.127 of the Communications Act 2003 (recommended for repeal by the Law Commission). Behind that prosecution, a pack of Jew-Zionists.
I cannot write about all that prior to trial, for reasons of potential contempt of court etc, but one aspect of the case is that I am alleged to have claimed that, in the UK, most of the TV and Press is effectively in the hands of Jew-Zionists (as Rupert Murdoch said years ago— and he is 100% pro-Israel…).
What do you think, blog readers?
be taken to the Gazza strip to see what the Palestinians are having to deal with, each and every day of their lives. We have, in recent years been too sympathetic to Israel, which, I believe we now have an out of control far right Israeli government. I am not, however, /
Margaret Hodge is just another Jew-Zionist liar and hypocrite.
It is now immaterial. It was used by Western media outlets to whip up hatred against the Palestinian people and rally support for Israel's attack on Gaza. This is a method the UK media always employ. I'm an old woman and I've seen it all my life.

[Nayirah al-Sabah, the lying Kuwaiti bitch at the centre of the faked 1990 Kuwait atrocity story]
I was in New York at the time, in 1990. Those lies (blown up hugely by the Jew-Zionist mass media) were quite effective in moulding the TV narratives and the political conversation etc.
Food, fuel, medicine and water have all been cut off into the Gaza Strip, while the land itself comes under heavy bombardment.
Water cut off, food cut off, electricity and gas cut off; all other supplies cut off, and area bombing and rocketing of civilian areas, in a “ghetto” occupied by 2 million inhabitants, 600,000 of whom live in Gaza City.
Of the 2 million Palestinian Arabs in the Gaza Strip, about 1 million are under-18, and most of that million are young children.
If there was ever a war crime amounting to at least quasi-genocide, this surely must be it.

Emily Thornberry, entitled “Labour” hog, with a part-Jew husband and a dozen buy-to-let properties. In fact, the only reason she ever joined Labour was because her well-paid lawyer/journalist/diplomat father abandoned her mother, and the mother had to move to a council property (in Surrey). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Thornberry; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedric_Thornberry.
“She was called to the Bar at Gray’s Inn and practised as a barrister specialising in human rights law from 1985 to 2005 under Michael Mansfield at Tooks Chambers.”
[Wikipedia]
“Human rights” expert; you couldn’t make it up…
As I mentioned yesterday, the “human rights” lawyers (often Jewish, though she herself is not) seem to have gone AWOL now that Israel is involved…
[Emily Thornberry, some years ago, with (in centre) Mark Regev, then Israeli Ambassador, at a Zionist dinner in London]
If, as voter, you vote Labour now, you get moneygrubbing tools of Israel such as Emily Thornberry (and Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, and Keir Starmer). Why bother?
Emily Thornberry, “human rights” lawyer (etc), who thinks it justifiable for Israel to cut off water and food (etc) from 2 million people, almost all of whom (about 96%) are non-combatants, half of whom are under-18, and hundreds of thousands of whom are young or very young children.
Douglas Murray says the celebration of the Hamas attacks shows there are "simple supporters of genocideโ in the UK.
I used to wonder what Israeli Intelligence had on Murray to make him the unashamed propagandist for Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby that he is. Now, I tend to think that he is just deeply psychologically damaged.
As for Julia Hartley-Brewer, I think (am unsure) that she is part-Jewish. She is certainly rather ignorant; I had to correct her on a couple of legal points when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews managed to have me expelled in 2018). Instead of thanking me for schooling her, she tried to obfuscate, and then blocked me.
Murray is right with his “flare” metaphor, though. These events have shown what group really pulls the strings of our “democratic” political parties, and System politicians. With a tiny number of honourable exceptions, all puppets of Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby. From Sunak to Starmer, and from Emily Thornberry to that fraudulent bastard Nigel Farage.

At first, the rockets sent by the Palestinian resistance were little more than fireworks, but over the years and decades the technology has improved. It seems that now at least some of those rockets are quite powerful.
Israel, for all its military might, and for all its money, and its control/influence in other countries, is doomed in the long run. Demographics alone, in the region as a whole, would seem to indicate that.
Israel may have powerful weapons, including nuclear ones, but those weapons may not be enough to save it, in the end.

Perhaps a foretaste of what will eventually happen on a far bigger scale.
This is guerrilla warfare on the streets of southern Israel. The images are chilling. Many dead, and many hostages taken. Israel seems to have been taken completely off guard. It is a full fledge war. #Israel#Gazapic.twitter.com/FP3tw9tld5
Salah al-Arouri, one of the leaders of Hamas in Lebanon: we are holding a large number of hostages, among them high-ranking Israeli officers. International intermediaries have already contacted us.
Cleverly, with all the erudition and wisdom of his “McDegree” in Hospitality Management, explains that firing rockets etc at civilian habitations is “terrorism”. Unless, of course, the shooters are British or American (or Israeli), and the civilians Palestinian Arabs, Iraqis, Afghans, Serbs or (in WW2) Germans etc…
There is a high probability that the invasion from the Gaza Strip is just a diversionary maneuver, and a much more powerful invasion will follow from the north, by Hezbollah forces – Senior Lieutenant of the Israeli Defense Forces Yigal Levin.
I have to admit that I would never have guessed that the Arabs would be able both to co-ordinate such attacks and also keep the date and time of them secret. Presumably, the Israelis were also not expecting this.
Israel's military leadership unanimously agreed that the only proportionate response was a full-scale ground operation in the Gaza Strip – Israeli media
Again, quelle surprise— Israel almost always hits civilian targets.
Hamas commander Al-Arouri: We had information that Israel was planning a military operation against the West Bank and Gaza Strip after the Jewish holidays.
Possible/plausible “conspiracy theory”: the Israeli ruling circles knew of the Hamas plan, but allowed it to happen, “throwing under a bus” their own Jewish inhabitants, in order to be able invade Gaza as a form of “self-defence”. That is what, mutatis mutandis, Roosevelt did before and after Pearl Harbor.
Lebanese Hezbollah has gone into โstandby modeโ and UNIFIL forces (the UN peacekeeping contingent in South Lebanon) have moved to its bases, Israeli Channel 12 reported, citing sources.
If the term “war criminal” means anything, here it is. Untermensch.

What is important about the events of the past 24 hours is not the statistical rate of attrition, not the damage done, and not even which side eventually “wins” in the short term (bearing in mind Israel’s huge military superiority, that can hardly be in doubt), but the fact that an incursion like that seen has happened at all.
Hamas has broken something now— the sense of effortless Israeli military might, and the idea that any invasions or incursions into Israeli territory will be slight, only in one area, and easily repulsed.
In the longer term (i.e. after 2023), that may prove to be the most significant fact about these events. The Palestinian Arabs now know what is or might be possible, no matter what Israeli/Jewish repression follows the current events.
This may just be the beginning of the end for Israel.
