[“A senior member of Hope Not Hate was convicted of paedophile sex offences yesterday.

Hope Not Hate is a far-left group connected to the Labour Party that attacks Labour’s political opponents by smearing them as “racist” or “far-right”. Hope Not Hate’s other senior members include Matthew Collins, who was filmed admitting to attacking women with a hammer.

The boss, Nick Lowles, is little better – at the height of the Southport riots he shared incendiary misinformation claiming that British rioters were attacking Muslim women with acid. A straight up lie that likely encouraged Muslim men to attack Brits. Even when advised by the police that he was wrong, Lowles did not delete his post. Unlike people on the right, he was never prosecuted. The Hope Not Hate paedo, Liron Woodcock-Velleman, was also in the Labour Party. He campaigned with Sir Keir Starmer and was described as an “ally” of Sadiq Khan.

Hope Not Hate receive taxpayer funding. Their staff spend long hours online using anonymous identities to try and catch any opponent of the Labour Party saying something they can smear as “bigoted”. Were taxpayers’ funds used in the course of Liron’s paedophilia? Did Hope Not Hate’s technologies and techniques facilitate his child abuse? This organisation stinks. It should have been closed down years ago due to the fact that it’s basically the attack arm of the Labour Party, using public funds to smear their critics and opponents. (And they paint their activity as just “combatting hate” when it’s blatantly politically aligned and senior members have spoken at Communist events promoting an ideology that killed and tortured millions). Of course, Hope Not Hate are lauded by the BBC, Channel 4 and the Guardian. But now that senior members have been outed as committing horrific crimes – misogynist hammer attacks, paedophilia – its position is untenable. They need to be shut down and investigated. What else are Hope Not Hate hiding?“]

“Hope not Hate” consists of Jews, mostly. The half-Jew Israeli/US agent and former Labour MP, Ruth Smeeth, now posing as “Baroness” Anderson in the House of Lords (“elevated” a few years ago by part-Jew “Conservative” Prime Minister “Boris”-idiot), is heavily involved. She is now married to Gareth Snell, Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_Snell; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Anderson,_Baroness_Anderson_of_Stoke-on-Trent.

Another member of the “Hope not Hate” cabal is Patrik “The Rat” Hermannson.

The most shocking aspect of “Hope not Hate” is that the UK taxpayer is funding many of its activities. Other donors include the billionaire Rausing family mugs (and pro-Zionists).

Israel is the hub of a worldwide web of crime, exploitation, and illicit control over whole populations via corrupt executives and legislatures. First remove that central hub, then the web generally.

I support neither Maduro nor Trump. Having said that, Trump’s USA is the only power on Earth constantly looking for opportunities to increase its global control by military means. China has not yet reached that point.

Interesting, but always remember “to win without war— that is the supreme excellence” [Sun Tzu].

You will never hear a Chinese leader directly threaten Europe with war. No, but Europe is flooded with Chinese people. Few are agents of Chinese Intelligence. They do not have to be. This is a long term project for China. They want to take over slowly, almost by osmosis.

The same applies to Chinese influence in Russia, especially in the East of Siberia and, particularly, the former Soviet Far East. The Chinese do not threaten, do not act belligerently; they simply trade and, where permitted, move into Russian territory as business people, farmers etc.

Not sure what tweeter Sophie Meaden means by “law suit“. Is she being prosecuted? If so, by the State, or maybe by the malicious Jew-Zionist troublemakers of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”? Or is she herself suing someone or some organization? I do not know.

Meanwhile, Starmer-stein’s misgovernment is moving migrant-invaders into British social housing, thus preventing British people, including poor families and even pensioners, from getting a home. Incredibly, the foreign invaders are being prioritized ahead of needy and desperate British people.

People are trying to save because the safety net of social security (renamed, significantly, in the American word “welfare”), has been radically cut back over the past 20 years. Savings are a security blanket.

In fact, the so-called “austerity” policies of David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne etc shrank the real British economy hugely from 2010-2015 and even later, and the recovery from that was ruined by the wholly unnecessary measures taken in response to the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic nonsense (“lockdowns” etc).

Equally absurd, but at least Corbyn is not a total puppet of Israel and the Jewish lobby.

Very true, but then you ask yourself why, with all that wealth, Venezuela has such low living standards…

Works out as Reform UK 365 MPs, Labour 110, LibDems 69, SNP 36, Cons 35, Greens 7 (etc).

Look at the news in the above two tweets. Both show how very badly the UK is being run.

I think that that poster is already out of date. Maybe by 2050 rather than 2066.

Been there, said that (on the blog, a few days ago)…

What goes around comes around“.

“Their” time will come. Israel is doomed. Those who have facilitated the Jew-Zionist-Israel brutality amounting to genocide will be punished, wherever they may be.

Whether it be labelled “genocide” or not, the behaviour of the Israeli Jews in Gaza (and, by extension, the behaviour of those that support the same from countries such as the UK) has been appalling, particularly over the past nearly 2 years.

As (for the past 2 years) a State Pension recipient myself (albeit that mine is cut back severely because of years spent overseas), I appreciate the Triple Lock…

The lady tweeter there, one Fiona-Natasha Syms, who thinks that State Pension increases —at least— should be reduced is the ex-wife of a former Conservative Party MP who lost his seat in 2024. She was once employed by her then husband via his MP expenses.

The said lady appears to have a house in the country as well as one in London, and heads (if that is the word, i.e. if assuming that there exist actual supporters) an organization (which may exist only in her own head) called “Moderates” or “#Moderates”, the policy of which seems to be some odd conflation of pro-immigration madness and David Cameron-Levita supposed “competence” and “compassion” (I have to say I did not see much of that as Cameron demonized the British sick, disabled and unemployed, and blamed them for the UK’s financial problems).

If the lady tweeter in question thinks that removing the Triple Lock is a vote-winner, she is very much mistaken. Sunak’s one-year removal of it probably put paid to his chances of success in 2024; now, Kemi Carpetbagger seems to be wavering, but she is washed-up anyway.

The first political party in government to remove the Triple Lock will lose the pensioner vote, or 90%+ of it, at once and forever. The bloc of those over 55 years of age (so pensioners plus those within about a decade of becoming pensioners) comprises at least 40% of all voters, and over 50% in quite a few marginal seats.

That, also is a voting bloc which, by and large, does vote, whereas younger voters, esp. twenty-somethings, tend not to bother. The 40% and 50% figures just given are therefore, and on the ground, more like 50% and 60%. Any party or made-up party (such as that lady’s “Moderates”) ignores the realities at its peril.

The lady tweeter and her imaginary “Moderates” prefer to imagine throwing money at largely-parasitic non-European immigrants, or at the equally-parasitic Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, rather than on supporting the lives of the older Brit population. I call thatmadness“.

More tweets

In any case, a flight would have no more than a couple of hundred passengers. 1,000-2,000 migrant-invaders are coming in, illegally, every single day. Another (?)5,000+ are entering “legally”. Then we have births to non-Europeans resident here, and births to white women impregnated by non-whites. Terminal, unless stopped.

Evening tweets

Whatever happens in the short-term, Israel is doomed.

Plaid Cymru, though useless, is a default vote. Reform may be seen as an “English” party, but I do not know if that matters. After all, a fairly high proportion of the inhabitants of Wales are English anyway. About 11%.

Reform’s finance-capitalist bias may also deter potential Welsh voters.

Still, Reform and Plaid are effectively on the same level of support now; Reform may even be ahead, bearing margin of error in polling.

Labour 14%…at one time, and not so long ago, Labour was the only game in town (in Wales). That was then. There were still coal mines, steelworks etc widespread in South Wales even 40-50 years ago. Now— nothing very much.

As for the Conservative Party, never very strong in Wales, not for the past 80+ years, they are just finished now.

I saw that you can get about 5/1 on Betfair Politics about Kemi Badenoch being replaced in 2025. I think that is a value bet. The odds about her being replaced in 2026 are odds-on, just below even money. She is toast, but the question is when.

On the face of it, remarkable for Reform, but this is really a “nein danke!” for both Lab and Con.

A sinister tribe.

A very sinister tribe.

Jesus H. Christ! What a total crazie!

If this is what (fake) “democracy” provides by way of MPs, then give me (social-national) dictatorship every time…

Incidentally, this seems to be her: Llinos Medi, a previously unemployed divorced mother of two, before that an egg-seller, teaching assistant and care worker. Completely uneducated. Says that her priorities are “the economy, health and wellbeing of the citizens of North Wales.” [Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llinos_Medi] (and so she proposes importing thousands if not millions of Afghans…).

I would have said that the woman is just a crazy bad joke, but such people are actually dangerous in their positions, and their influence via mainstream platforms.

Fortunately, she will be chucked out at the next general election.

I think so. The point being that it is not even a matter of how incomplete or arguably flawed are the policies (or personalities) of Reform UK. This is the less-violent (so far) Brit equivalent of burning down parliaments and palaces, or setting up guillotines at Westminster. It is a movement against the old parties more than one that is pro-Reform, let alone pro-Farage as a kind of underwhelming “Fuhrer”-second-time-around.

Chris Bryant [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Bryant] is, in lay language, a traitor. Member of Labour Friends of Israel, pro-Israel warmonger, and supporter of mass immigration into this country. A very sleazy ex-Church of England priest, former Common Purpose employee, and also an expenses cheat, effectively a fraudster. Appalling in every way.

People such as Bryant get money, honours etc in our degraded country. Just disgusting.

A sterilization programme should be high on the agenda (probably not necessary in the case of Bryant, though).

The voters of Rhondda, now Rhondda and Ogmore, have been too silly in the past to see that Labour (since 1997, at least) gives them nothing, and have voted Bryant in, repeatedly, despite everything about him saying “no“. However, Reform must at least be in with a chance next time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhondda_and_Ogmore_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The Kiev regime has shown itself capable (both in moral terms and practically) of carrying out quite sophisticated attacks akin to terrorism in and around Russia. What it cannot do is to win where it matters— in the battlefield space. Russian forces continue to make steady if unspectacular progress across Eastern Ukraine.

[Lindsey Graham, among others]

I think the next UK General Election has probably just been won.

Raus!

This is what happens when you commit mass ethnic cleansing, drive out the original inhabitants of a country, then repopulate that country with the sweepings of the ghettos, prisons, and labour camps of Europe.

Then the courts will have to be dealt with. We are getting into the glacial mess that characterizes American politics, whereby the executive power is trammelled by politicized judges (on the Supreme Court of the USA in that country, and by various higher courts in the UK).

Salus populi suprema lex esto— the welfare of the people is the highest law [Cicero].

As for that lady tweeter, she is fatally out of touch with the English/British heartlands. She has founded an offshoot of the Conservative Party she calls #Moderates. Her ex-husband was MP for Poole, turfed out by a mere 7 votes at GE 2024, and she was employed by him at about £50,000 a year via his Parliamentary expenses, “a nice little earner” (until it stopped).

I do not know whether the pseudo-Conservative “Moderates” exist outside the lady’s own mind (I suspect not); neither do I know whether they are the product of a bottle of whatever the lady may habitually drink.

In any event, the “Moderates” idea goes nowhere. UK politics (as this blog has always predicted) are becoming more “extreme”. People want clear and radical policies to —and I use the word advisedly— save this country at a very late hour.

At a guess, an educated guess, I should say that the policies for which that lady advocates (pro-immigration, getting rid of the Triple Lock, rejoining the EU, supporting the Kiev regime etc) would, as a compendium, probably attract the votes of, at best, 5% of the population. At best. Totally out of touch. In any case, there is already a party that pushes such policies— the LibDems (currently around 10% in the polls, but mainly because they are a default choice or “dustbin party”).

At, again, a guess, I should think that the membership of the so-called “Moderates” consists of the lady herself and however many bottles she can line up.

If “Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves scraps the Triple Lock, almost all voters from about age 50 or 55 will scrap her and, with her, Labour. At a time when Labour are running at about 20% in the opinion polls, that would be the final nail, if not already hammered home, in the Labour coffin.

As noted previously on the blog, a little judicious “racism” would have saved untold thousands of young English girls from being raped, exploited, and/or impregnated by non-Europeans. Unfortunately, System “education” in the UK (and other European countries, such as Norway and Sweden) does not teach young white English/British girls only to have relations with white English/British/real European men. On the contrary, it encourages race-mixing.

How much longer can the exhausted army of the Kiev regime (those troops not killed, captured, or badly wounded) keep the front-lines intact? Not long, I think, no matter how much money and materiel the EU and USA send to Zelensky.

The poor taxpayers of the EU and UK are having billions of Euros wasted, thanks to Starmer, Macron, Merz, Ursula von der Leyen etc throwing money at the Zelensky regime.

I should not be surprised were the Jew Zelensky not to end up like Mussolini or Gaddafi; having said that, he will probably flee to California, Florida, or Israel.

I would not usually repost something from such a Jew-Zionist fanatic, but truth is truth, and his tweet there is completely correct.

Like something from a dystopian sci-fi film. The karmic weight on the (Israeli and other) Jews will be backbreaking.

A good idea. After all, turning it around, what stops Russian tanks also stops those of Western Europe. The Soviet Union would have been defeated in 1941 had it had decent roads. I like the restoration of Nature anyway.

Talking point

She has a point.

As for Goodwin, I recently flagged the possibility, no more, that he might be on the following trajectory— win a by-election (Runcorn & Helsby?) as a Reform UK candidate, take over from Farage the leadership of Reform (with Farage’s support), and then (once Reform has become the largest party in the Commons after the next general election ) become Prime Minister.

It might just happen.

However, as that tweeter “Serena Brown” notes, either the UK becomes again a homogenous society, or it does not. There would be no point in a Reform UK government if it were unwilling to take the steps necessary.

This is not merely about immigration, and certainly not only about that relatively small part of immigration which comes in via the infamous “small boats”. It is about the non-whites already here, who are breeding much faster than the English/British, who themselves are not even reproducing their own numbers.

When we see Reform, we notice that it is ideologically in hock to the Jew-Zionist lobby, and pathetically adherent to Israel and Israeli interests.

I have blogged previously about the bad joke that is Shabana Mahmood as “Lord Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice— a Pakistani woman whose total legal experience has been a 12-month Bar pupillage (decades ago), followed by a year as a salaried “gopher” at a firm of solicitors. Use the search box on the blog to find out more.

Starmer-stein is not a Labour prime minister (even of the Tony Blair/Gordon Brown type); he is a Labour Friends of Israel prime minister, and that applies, mutatis mutandis, to virtually his entire Cabinet.

Starmer-stein and his Cabinet should face real resistance from the British people.

Meanwhile, Starmer-stein continues to try to play the “world statesman” and would-be war leader, and looks ever-more pathetic as he makes that attempt.

When simply noting the totally obvious sounds radical…

That influx of non-white doctors has another consequence: by reason of the high pay received by doctors in the UK, any offspring are automatically given a better life-chance than most white English/British children. The knock-on result is that more non-whites are going to be placed into the higher socio-economic groups in the UK, thus further weakening our civilized European culture and society.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan; https://www.amazon.com.be/-/nl/Richard-Coudenhove-Kalergi/dp/1913057097.

Exactly. Reform is the last hope of many, but it is also the last chance for the System itself to survive. If Reform is squashed or disappears, we are looking at quite likely civil war, or social war, and the national revolution, down the line. However, if Reform manages to be either the largest or second-largest party after 2028 or 2029, or even in government with a Commons majority, but then fails to take the steps necessary, we shall also be looking at not-unlikely civil/social war.

We must not forget that the Jew-Zionist element is embedded in Reform. One only has to look at the pronouncements of Farage, Tice, and now Goodwin.

Still, at present, Reform UK is the only game in town:

Hopefully, that little bully will be found and prosecuted, but of course his punishment, if any, will be slight, in the present society.

When the law ceases to be respected, or enforced (by reason of weak and/or politicized police, prosecutors, courts), such lawlessness leads, in the end, to the public taking the law into their own hands, and meting out more condign punishment to evildoers.

Not for nothing has “the Bailey” (Central Criminal Court, London) the following inscription on its facade: Punish the evildoer, and protect the children of the poor

I agree, but it may be that Reform has to succeed but then crash and burn before a social-national movement (of any type) can arise.

It will be recalled how warmly Starmer-stein welcomed Farage into the chamber of the House of Commons for the first time.

Who makes up stupid rules like that anyway? Small-minded people who think that the natural world is not connected with humanity. Glad that those BBC people broke the “rules” laid down.

I often break rules, and feel good about doing so.

…and cretins of that sort (Mark Field, Liz Truss etc) purport to have the right (and ability) to rule over us. Wall. Squad. End.

My question is whether Goodwin himself is going to be the candidate…

If so, the date of the by-election will soon be set, maybe even tomorrow.

The government says it wants to make significant savings on welfare payments to the disabled and help the disabled into work. The point, say all ministers – led Sir Keir Starmer – is not to harm the disabled, but to free them from a life of dependency. That, they claim, is why this is a truly “Labour” reform — and not just brutal cuts engineered by Rachel Reeves because she needs billions in savings so as not to breach arbitrary, self-imposed fiscal rules on the assessment date of 26 March. Is any of this plausible?

The first thing to say is the point of fiscal rules should be to help focus minds in government about how best to share scarce resources between different important resources. They should not set hard deadlines for making decisions with potentially profound consequences for the lives of millions of people.

We’ve already seen an example of the political dangers of trying to rush through changes to personal independence payments (PIP) and the health related elements of universal credit – because one element that was particularly upsetting to Labour MPs has already been dropped, namely a one year freeze on PIP payments.

But as my colleague Anushka Asthana has been exclusively disclosing for the last ten days, this was only one part of the welfare reform package. The other elements were to restrict entitlement to personal independence payments, while cutting the health-related universal credit payments and recycling those UC savings into an increase in the standard rate of UC. You can see in this the simple story and perhaps simplistic story about welfare payments to the disabled that the government believes and is trying to tell.

First, that hundreds of thousands of people receive cash to help with their living and mobility costs, but don’t “deserve” it.

Second, that the structure of UC payments provides too great an incentive to disabled people to sign themselves off work to get the health-related benefits top up.

Starmer will doubtless take comfort from the fact that – according to polling by the Good Growth Foundation – 60% believe the system provides too much support to people who don’t want to work and 39% think that it’s too easy for people to get benefits who don’t need them. But popular belief does not make it true. And before going further into the nitty gritty, it is worth doing a quick economic reality check. It is a fact that the proportion of British people in employment has fallen since Covid and, unlike many other rich economies, has not recovered to 2019 levels. But the proportion of British people who are working remains high by international standards. According to the OECD, in the third quarter of 2023 the UK ranked fifth in the world, with an employment rate of 74.9%, well ahead of the US for example, and behind only Iceland, the Netherlands, Japan and Germany

Even if it is a laudible ambition to encourage more people into work. The UK’s is not an economy whose failure is that too few people are working. The grotesque failure of the British economy is hardly a mystery.

It is that living standards for those in work have barely increased for more than 15 years and too many of those in work receive too little to pay even for food, energy and other essentials.

Pretty much every competitor country whose employment rate has recovered to pre-covid levels has higher productivity and higher wages than the UK. Which might tell you that Britain’s problem is not that its benefit system is skewiff but that it’s the labour market itself that is broken, that remunerated toil in Britain delivers inadequate incentives. And by the way, we don’t have a benefit system in the UK that is remotely generous or lavish by international standards.

Research published only last week by the National Institute for Economic and Social Research showed that we spend less on welfare as a share of GDP than the average for developed nations.

Also when it comes to the so-called replacement rate – what any unemployed person receives as a proportion of earnings from employment – only the unemployed in Australia and the US receive less.

Unemployment payments are significantly higher everywhere else in Europe, for example.

And another thing. As the Joseph Rowntree Foundation has shown, standard universal credit does not cover the costs of basics and essentials, for families or single people. “Ah ha!” you may exclaim, especially if you are the PM or chancellor. Surely this proves that there is a unhealthy incentive in the UC system for any claimant to prove that he or she has “limited capacity for work or work related activity” – to be diagnosed as unfit for work – so that their UC entitlements would go (for a single person) from £400 to £823, a month. But is an extra £106 a week the kind of incentive that would persuade a vulnerable person to permanently shut down their availability for work?

And if it were cut and partly offset by a rise in standard universal credit – which is what Starmer plans – would that persuade the vulnerable person to look for jobs?

That doesn’t feel compelling as an argument – especially in a world where most employers are reluctant to employ disabled people, let alone retain them on their books.

So another concern about the timing of these welfare changes is they come well before the findings of an equally important government review, that by former John Lewis boss Charlie Mayfield about how employers can be helped to retain and hire disabled people. Later this week he will publish his “discovery” document, about why employers struggle to keep in employment those who start to feel unwell, especially those suffering from mental ill-health. However Mayfield is still months away from recommendations.

In other words, it feels cart-before-horse to take cash from the disabled before a new support system is in place for employers to keep on their books those who are struggling.

As for the proposal to increase the threshold for those claiming the PIP, this will have an impact both on new claimants and those in receipt who are subject to review. How many disabled people could see their PIP payments reduced or withdrawn altogether?

Very large numbers indeed, according to the Resolution Foundation if it remains the Treasury’s aim to find net savings of up to £6bn by 2029-30. Louise Murphy of the Foundation estimates that more than 600,000 people, most on low incomes, would lose £675 a month on average.

Obviously this is all still hypothetical. Proper judgement awaits publication of the Liz Kendall’s policy paper tomorrow. But a change in entitlement on that magnitude will generate massive anxieties in those who both receive PIP and may need it in future.

None of this is to argue that any government should ignore the forecast that on current trends the cost of PIP is set to rise by £15bn by 2029 or that large numbers of especially young people are being excluded by disability from the world of work too young. It is to suggest that reforms that could reduce benefit bills in the long run will require large expenditure in the short term on mental health provision, skills, rewiring coaching and job search at the DWP, occupational health support for companies and so on.

A rational approach would see the costs of supporting the disabled rise in the short term. It would be an investment programme, not a cuts programme. With the supposedly all-important fiscal assessment looming, we’ll see if that’s what Starmer , Kendall and Reeves unveil. 2/2

[Robert Peston]

A long comment, but important.

For me, the answer to all this a a “basic income” system, whereby all citizens (note, citizens, not any African or Afghan or similar just off the boat) get some modest amount of income regardless of any factor such as contribution, need, or “deservedness”.

That would also save vast amounts by enabling the shutdown of 95% of the DWP bureaucracy.

I just happened to notice that Richard Moore has also tweeted in support of the “holocaust” narrative farrago.

Pitiful.

Of course, the real threats to the UK come from quite other directions— the continuing migration invasion, the falling apart of British society via mass immigration, drug and alcohol abuse, administrative incompetence, and the cultural sickness largely mediated by “the usual suspects” (((“them”))).

Russia is not the old Soviet Union (“Sovyetsky Soyuz”) or “Soviet Onion”, as the Soviet Union was sometimes called (also, disparagingly, “Upper Volta with rockets”); it has no interest in invading Western (or even Eastern) Europe, though it does wish to protect itself from NWO/ZOG NATO encroachment (hence the war in Ukraine and the tensions in the Baltic region or “pribaltika” etc, those regions which Russians call the “near-abroad”).

That Moore person strikes me as a bit of a twit, despite his high rank, career background etc.

Come to think of it, the current Director-General of MI5 also strikes me as a bit of a twit. I suppose that, if the UK is falling to pieces in some respects, the security and intelligence services cannot be immune from it all.

Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi alongside Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds, he refused to put a timeframe on a deal but said it would be done with ‘speed but not haste’.

But he made clear that business mobility visas for Indian workers – a sticking point that derailed the last round of talks – would be part of any agreement.

So even more Indians will now be arriving in the UK, many together with “family members”. After a while, many will have children, who will then be officially (if not in reality) “British”, with full legal rights to live here, eventually bring in fiancees, spouses etc…

Under a Labour government we would freeze energy bills. We wouldn’t allow them to go up.” ~ Keir Starmer Snake oil salesmanship. UK domestic energy prices are to rise by 6.4% in April to £1,849 a year on average.”

If Britain could form a loose alliance with Russia, the British people would get oil and gas at cost.

I suppose that the Massie tweeter [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Massie_(journalist)] represents, apart from himself, some strand of Conservative Party thinking, he being the Scotland Editor of the Spectator. Thus we see how the Con Party has no chance, in my view, of revival; willing to impoverish one of the most important voting blocs, those of pensionable age, in order to waste money on “defence” (i.e. the misconceived aggressiveness towards Russia, as well as support for the Israeli Jews’ war machine).

Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor—latest

[“My next post about Mark Lewis and Patron Law is with their lawyers to see if they object. Some great stuff about Lewis in this one. Like when he claimed to be “loaded with hallucinogenic drugs” for an MRI scan and this caused him to abuse people online. Sign up link in bio“]

James Wilson was the successful claimant in the fairly recent libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor.

It looks very much as if the self-publicizing Jewish solicitor Mark Lewis once again gave advice that was both professionally negligent and dishonest. As a result, one of the two surviving Jewish defendants, Cantor, will probably be losing his family home in order to satisfy the costs of the successful claimant, Wilson.

Newbon was a vituperative social media troll and Israel fanatic. If I have understood the matter correctly, he was also misled by Lewis and other Jews, and killed himself during the currency of the legal case, and after his wife, kept in the dark up to that point, discovered that his actions might mean the loss of their family home.

As to the egregious Lewis, I have written quite a lot about him in the past: see

That blog post contains links to other relevant posts.

As to Lewis’s claim that he was only aggressive on social media by reason of short-term use of drugs for medical purposes circa 2015/2016, well…he was abusing me on Twitter as early as 2011, together with, at first, his then wife, Caroline Feraday, a very minor London radio/TV wannabee “celebrity” of the late 1990s (they relocated to California, but were divorced after a year by reason of his abusive behaviour towards her etc. Lewis then returned to the Golders Green area of London but now lives much of the time in Israel).

See those blog posts for further details.

Lewis continued to conspire with other Jews (all connected with the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, and/or “UK Lawyers for Israel” or “UKLFI”) to have me disbarred, questioned by police, even —ultimately— prosecuted. An obsessive campaign that has continued for about 15 years, so far.

According to Electoral Calculus, that equates to about the following Commons seats: Reform 201, Labour 189, Con 131, LibDems 67, Greens 4. The only possible governments would be Reform as a weak minority one, or Reform backed up by the Conservatives, or a “Grand Coalition” of System parties— LibLabCon.

Tony Martin (1944-2025)

I missed the reports of the recent death of farmer Tony Martin, imprisoned in 1999 for having shot some “travellers” (Irish tinkers) who had targeted his rundown farmhouse by night.

Incidentally, the Wikipedia entry about those events and the aftermath omits the “traveller” aspect entirely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Martin_(farmer); so does the local news outlet Nottingham Post (the “traveller” criminals in the case having come from the Nottingham area): see https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottinghamshire-burglar-shot-farmer-tony-9930047.

Martin was eventually released after having spent 3 years in prison, his initial conviction for murder having been downgraded on appeal to manslaughter. There had been a huge public outcry supporting Martin. I myself recall having posted a supportive postcard to him from Turkey when he was still sitting in prison. 2001. I wonder whether he ever received it.

I was unaware in 1999 and 2001 that Martin had (probably in the 1970s) supported the National Front [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Front_(UK)], and was related by marriage to Andrew Fountaine [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Fountaine, an interesting if slightly alarming character whom I once saw, and heard speak (at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London in 1975, when I was aged 18-19).

After his release, Martin supported, so says Wikipedia, both UKIP and the group Traditional Britain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Independence_Party; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Britain_Group.

Martin should never have been prosecuted or even questioned (except pro-forma).

Jack Lopresti, former Italian ice-cream salesman and sometime TA (part-time) private soldier [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Lopresti] and MP (2010-2024) is in fact notfighting” in Ukraine. He is sitting at a desk in Kiev.

Both Lopresti and his ex-wife, Andrea Jenkyns, lost their Commons seats in 2024. They were both members of Conservative Friends of Israel.

Andrea Jenkyns has abandoned the Conservative Party for Reform UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Jenkyns.

Lopresti seems rather unintelligent, and obviously has little idea of geopolitics, history, or anything else much. I expect he is being paid for his present role, and paid more than the peanuts pay, paid in local rubbish-money, that the Ukrainian soldiers get (when paid at all).

Incidentally, nearly 6 years ago, I penned an assessment of Andrea Jenkyns:

There are two (or three) main arguments against mass non-European immigration into the UK. One is both racial and cultural, meaning also societal, the other is economic. For me, the economic argument is not the primary one, but it is (obviously) hugely significant. The swamping of this country by non-whites is making us poorer and, until stopped and reversed, will continue to make us poorer as a country, as a population and, particularly as British individuals.

Carpetbagger Kemi should scuttle back either to the USA or to Nigeria, where she came from.

You still see stupid British scribblers, TV talking heads, MPs etc, spouting about how “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) is fighting for European culture, democracy, civil rights etc. In reality, the shambolic and corrupt Kiev regime is a brutal dictatorship.

The Jew Zelensky rules as the figurehead of a cabal of dictators. Elections should have been held a year or two ago and now never will be. Trade unions are banned. Dissidents are arrested already; a few have even been shot or otherwise “eliminated”. Recruitment to the armed forces is now largely by press-gang— people simply seized off the streets by militia goons.

The real reason immigration isn’t coming down in any serious way is because our leaders want it. And they don’t care that you don’t!’ @GoodwinMJ discusses the UK’s population explosion as by 2047 it’s projected to increase by nine million people – equivalent to another London.

Electoral Calculus suggests that that, at a general election, might produce a Commons with 212 Reform UK seats, 196 Labour, 106 Conservative, 72 LibDem, and 7 Green (etc). So a Reform minority government.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

Reform UK is part of the journey, not the final destination, of course. A useful bridge, if you like.

200+ Reform UK MPs would change the whole atmosphere at Westminster. For example, they could demand proportional representation and then, if the System parties block that, appeal over their heads to the British people via a second general election that might see Con and Lab even further diminished.

I feel, listening to what many people I hear in the course of everyday activity, that the British people have pretty much had enough of migration invasion, attacks on free speech, and enough of the still-encroaching police-state dystopia under the present Labour Friends of Israel cabal (and its “Conservative” predecessors).

Another big factor is the “nothing works properly any more” feeling, which is based on fact— things don’t work properly any more (a situation which, with the increasingly racially-mixed population, can only worsen).

The voters are willing to take any option that seems to have a chance. The System parties have all failed. If only there were a proper social-national party able to take on the challenge. The “Parliamentary road” is not the way forward, as such, but may have a part to play. All roads lead to Rome.

The truth is that, since the 1970s, paid work has become far more stressful in the UK. The “long hours culture”, “present-ism”, no proper lunch hours, the vulgar trend of people eating at their desks, the perceived “need” to be on-call in the evenings or at weekends etc. All for other peoples’ profits and self-aggrandisement.

Still, I would not expect Kate Ferguson, the Political Editor (yes, they really do have one) of the Sun on Sunday, to want to acknowledge any of that.

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.

Will look forward to reading that, and probably reposting it on the blog.

Jesus H. Christ! That tweeter “@frankflynn20016” must be a complete idiot.

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…
