What struck me as much as anything is that, in 1966, Trelford bought a 4-bedroomed house at Kew (presumably detached) for £6,000. That is somewhere between £120,000-£130,000 in the money of 2026. How much is a 4-bed house in Kew today? Between £1.3M and £2.5M [https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/87831852#/?channel=RES_BUY]. The real-terms inflation in residential property values continues to amaze (and appal).

I happened to see a film on Channel 4, Wicked Little Letters, a kind of comedy-drama based (very loosely) on actual events in the 1920s. Apparently, the film has been popular.
Well, like not a few films, this one had much going for it —famous actors and actresses, and good locations— yet, in the end, was underwhelming.
The subject-matter is hardly new— poison-pen letters causing turmoil in a small town, in this case on the South Coast of England.
The plot is derivative, and the denouement could be seen coming down the track long before it arrived. The acting, though skilled, was (presumably deliberately) overplayed. Apart from that, the anachronisms were several.
At one point, Timothy Spall’s character reads in his newspaper and comments about the Suffragettes’ campaign going on while “the boys” were fighting in France. Well, the film is set in the 1920s, and we hear that the War has been over for some time. Women of 30+ were given the vote, in principle, in 1918.
Another anachronism: one of the main female characters has a West Indian boyfriend living with her, very unlikely in the 1920s, if only because there were very few blacks in England at the time.
Then we see that one of the local women is also West Indian. In Littlehampton, Sussex. In the 1920s.
The first ever appointed local policewoman, who detects the truth, turns out to be Indian, again very unlikely in that era.
A policeman seen towards the end of the film is a West Indian; in reality, the first black policeman in England joined the (Metropolitan) Police only in 1968, I believe.
Finally, the judge at the eventual trial is also black!
This is more than unintelligent casting; it is cultural sickness.

What a surprise…or maybe not. I have been blogging about this for some time.
Longest-serving & most influential of STALIN's secret police chiefs (NKVD) was a Jew.
The Munich Mercury, 1952 admits that BERIA, (then) Soviet strongman, is one of the "JEWISH functionaries" of the Soviet apparatus. He also headed the atomic energy project. pic.twitter.com/ert8p2BauY
Beria’s mother was of Georgian noble stock, and a devotee of the Georgian Orthodox Church. Though it is not completely impossible that his father was a Jew or part-Jew, he was a landowner in Mingrelia and was a Mingrelian (a minority inside Georgia). Again, a Jewish background is highly unlikely.
Why did a German newspaper in 1952 describe Beria as Jewish? Probably part of the early Cold War propaganda output pumped out at the time by the West German intelligence agency called the Gehlen Organization (a CIA ally). A good way to counteract Soviet propaganda etc in postwar West Germany would be to say that Beria was a Jew (many Communists were, of course).

That tweet shows the problem. Politics is not, or should not be, a game. Those Hitler called “dirty democratic politicians” in the 1920s however regard it as a game, in which “approved” players get careers, money, prestige (even if they “lose” the “game” in relative terms). For the British people, though, this is no game. It concerns their lives, the future of their children etc.
You see the same pathology, or a similar one, in scribblers such as Peter Hitchens, or scribblers-turned-politicians such as Matt Goodwin, when they talk about there being a “debate” about the migration invasion etc. This is no “debate”. It is an invasion and a war.
So far, I concede that Burnham has done two things of which I approve. The first was to ditch the Digital ID policy of Starmer-stein. It had to go, and was not only ludicrously unworkable but also a dystopian intrusion into “the lives of others”.
Liz Kendall has been flying well above her true level (county council or local council) for years. She has no business being in national politics. Thick as two short planks despite her paper education, and an Israel-loyalist (Labour Friends of Israel) as well. She has a history of trying to make the disabled and needy etc poorer, yet she herself lives with an Old Etonian asset manager worth untold millions, and in a house worth millions:
“Kendall is currently in a relationship with Old Etonian and global head of multi-asset solutions at Santander Asset Management, James Ind. She lives in Notting Hill in a Victorian home purchased for £3.9 million in 2021.”
[Wikipedia]
I think that Liz Kendall is at least part-Jew, but have so far been unable to find direct evidence of that.
She is 55 now, so her dismissal probably marks the end of her political career beyond being a backbench MP.
Still, good riddance, as far as it goes.

Happened to see a few minutes of BBC News. I was watching the weather forecast. That was the only useful item.
After the weather, several trailers put out by the BBC for its own shows. First, something about Wimbledon, the BBC coverage of which, apparently, is now presented by some black. Then there was something about Hollywood, to be presented by some old Jew.
Then the main news broadcast came on, the headline item being about, not Iran, Ukraine etc, but the World Cup. It seems that the blacks of Team A beat the blacks of Team B.
Nein danke. (switched off).
Incidentally, one of the BBC’s main points in its argument to keep the so-called “licence fee” impost is that the BBC carries no advertising. In fact, the BBC carries a huge amount of advertising, but only for its own shows as well as, at times, government misinformation.

Interesting historical information
The Bar of England and Wales— a multikulti dustbin
“A trailblazing young barrister’s career is in ruins and she is facing years in jail for helping a gangster to avenge an assassination attempt on him.
Samreen Akhtar was considered one of the brightest new barristers on the circuit as she built a profile by speaking out against prejudice suffered by young black and Asian aspiring lawyers.
But her career is now in tatters after she was convicted of using her professional contacts to attack an organised crime gang member who tried to murder a rival gangster in a drugs turf war.
Akhtar, 37, from Huddersfield, is said to have helped career criminal Tabish Ali after he was shot in West Yorkshire.
She had learned the identity of the man who shot Ali – and then conspired with him to track down the gun man – and maim him.
It is not known why she threw away such a promising career at the bar and put her life in danger to help a career criminal, Ali.
But she was found guilty after a week-long trial at Manchester Crown Court of intentionally encouraging or assisting grievous bodily harm with intent.
The offence which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. She will be sentenced on September 7.“
[Samreen Akhtar, “gone girl” barrister]
Casual perusal of the website of the Bar Standards Board will reveal that the majority, even the vast majority (certainly on a per capita basis), of barristers found to have defaulted, are non-Europeans. Most are disbarred, suspended etc for dishonesty of various types.
Regular readers of the blog will be aware that I myself was disbarred in 2016 (8 years after I had ceased practice), but not for dishonesty; for honourable political reasons, and only then because a pack of malicious Jews contrived a complaint against me: see
Only real English/British persons should be barristers or, a fortiori, judges. At present, the Bar and Bench are importing the mores of South Asia and Africa into their milieux, along with the alien hordes.
Incidentally, Jews were barred from the Bar until the mid-19thC. Now, there are large numbers of them.

Why on Earth would anyone want to stroll around Oxford these days, let alone live there? I have visited the city a few times over the past year. Ghastly in every way, pretty much. My first visits since the year 2000, when I gave someone a lift from Oxford to Hereford (and my previous visit to Oxford was sometime around 1975, I think, when I visited Blackwell’s bookshop).
Actually, I had the possibility of attending one of the most prestigious colleges there; that was in the 1980s (a kind of backdoor entry, not the usual sort of application), and thus might have taken my degree at Oxford, which would have been a good thing from a careerist point of view at least, but I did not take up the possibility because I (foolishly) wanted to stay in London for personal reasons.
I do not know why some mob of the ignorant and/or brainwashed should follow Peter Hitchens about, but it would not be the first time. “Black Lives Matter” idiots, facemask/vaccine/Covid cretins, “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) me-too partisans. Etc.
Looking again at the clip, the police and some of the mob are wearing facemasks, so they may be facemask loonies filmed a few years ago. Hard to say.

Links in with the “de-banking” of many other people, from —briefly— Farage to people without Farage’s connections, support base, or money; I am thinking of, inter alia, Sam Melia, Laura Towler, Mark Collett and (I think also) Nick Griffin at one time.

That pathetic yet still quite sinister, and plainly defiant, Scottish lesbianka is full of both malice and, indeed, deceit. Apparently, she never noticed that her husband (I believe, now ex-husband) had bought both a motorhome costing £140,000 and a Jaguar SUV costing over £81,000.
So…Nicola Sturgeon visited her parents-in-law, where the new £140,000 motorhome was apparently parked (I thought it was at least once parked outside her own house, too; maybe not) and she remained, she says, totally unaware of its existence because it was parked alongside and not at the front of their house. Possible, if they live somewhere such as Blenheim Palace; otherwise not…
So, also…did Nicola Sturgeon’s “in-laws” never once mention her husband’s (and therefore also her own) massive, newly-bought, and very expensive motorhome to her? Does that seem even marginally plausible? Not to me. They never politely said “we love your lovely new motorhome” or “where do you think you will visit in your new motorhome?“?
As liars go, Nicola Sturgeon is not very believable.
It amuses me that, in order to seem sober, and not spendthrift or dishonest, the SNP has replaced Nicola Sturgeon with a dull fellow called Swinney, but he looks like a head-in-trough bureaucrat type anyway.

Well, this week a convincing victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored a modest 21/. My score was 6/10. I did not know that answers to questions 2, 4, 6, and 7.
Talking point
I happened to see again the following, a blog post I published nearly 2 years ago in 2024:
“As part of a privately funded experiment in Universal Basic Income in 2019, the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (S.E.E.D.) conducted a pilot project that gave a $500 stipend to 125 randomly selected residents for an 24-month period with “no strings attached.“[51] “
[Wikipedia]
“SEED was a Randomized Control Trial that distributed $500 a month for 24 months to 125 recipients. The cash was unconditional, with no strings attached and no work requirements, and recipients were selected randomly from neighborhoods at or below Stockton’s median household income.
Results gathered from the first year, which spanned February of 2019 to February of 2020, found recipients obtained full-time employment at more than twice the rate of non-recipients. Recipients were less anxious and depressed, both over time and compared to the control group. They also saw statistically significant improvements in emotional health, fatigue levels and overall well being. Recipients had a greater ability to pay for unexpected expenses.
People spent the SEED money on basic needs, including food (nearly 37%), sales/merchandise (22%, on home goods, clothes/shoes and discount/dollar stores), utilities (11%) and auto costs (10%). Less than 1% was spent on alcohol and/or tobacco.”
In my view, Basic Income must be the way to go, with AI and robotics impacting employment and set to do so more. The alternative to Basic Income is to have a tiny sliver of the population ultra-wealthy, a wider layer wealthy, and about 80% of the population near-destitute.“
I think that that is even more obvious in 2026.

Ashkenazi jews are far more prone to schizophrenia, and just general paranoia, than White populations because of this.
Also, with such a small gene pool to work from, if their ancestors had strong dark triad traits, it’s certain that most living descendants today also have them which explains this awful behaviour below.“]
Israeli Jews did that, and much more besides, and even the Jewish-lobby organizations in the UK and other parts of the world admit (indeed, claim) that most Jews living in the UK and other countries support what the Israeli Jews are (once again) doing. Mass slaughter of civilians.

A propagandist for Israel and Jews generally.
I doubt that I should be allowed to go to Israel, or even some Jewish enclave in Connecticut, and make a good living in the local msm, while criticizing and lecturing the inhabitants of either of those regions. Why do we allow it to happen here?

“Israel” is not just that small country in the Middle East; it is also a global web consisting of the worldwide Jewish-Zionist lobby, and also those in public life whom that lobby has bought or otherwise suborned. Look at the UK.

“A city at migration breaking point: An unvarnished dispatch from Coventry – which saw over 22,000 arrivals from overseas in a single year – exposes how housing, schools and GPs are being placed under unbearable strain.
Another development has already started in Bennetts Road in the suburbs of Coventry. ‘There were green fields as far as the eye could see,’ said Gillian Collinge, a former Home Office official.
Today the once idyllic vista is scarred by a brutal two-metre-high security fence just feet from the back gardens of their homes, which have names such as Springfield Cottage, Lilac House and Harefield.
Beyond the metal perimeter are diggers, mud, noise and men in high-viz jackets.
‘It’s absolutely heartbreaking,’ added Gillian, who lives next to the chaos with husband Peter, also 66, a retired software engineer.

Later, perhaps cut off from receiving State benefits, even pensions. Then, once most people are on the system, your beliefs and political activities will be added to the mix. The “racist“, “antisemitic” etc will be cut off from services and State financial help, and be even more marginalized for their views etc. After that, taken into “protective custody”…

Nearly 5000 pensioners died of hypothermia last year, that was with the winter fuel payment. 880,000 pensioners are entitled to Pension Credit but don't claim it. One million just over the threshold. Many of these will die, and every excess death is on Labour.
Shane on you for being so ill informed and defending the indefensible. You must be a fan of the Harold Shipman Tribute Act Rachel Reeves MP. https://t.co/pC47k75GoChttps://t.co/soXalAmbsS
Everything to do with Labour. Gordon Brown made WFP a universal payment precisely because of poor take up. Rachel Reeves has decided to take the money away knowing that very poor pensioners who should get the money won't, irrespective of the resulting deaths. 100% indefensible.
A good example, the above Twitter/X thread, of the ever-more-apparent split in the UK between those who see the realities and those who choose not to see them. The fact is that Winter Fuel Payment is or was a great boon to pensioners, and now huge numbers of them are going to be deprived of it; both those who are entitled to apply for Pension Credit but have not done so and those who are above (often not far above) the Pension Credit capital or income cut-off points, and will therefore not now be given WFP.
“Desperate Ukrainian men have resorted to hiding in their houses for up to eight months just to avoid fighting Russia.
Stories include missing a daughter’s birth, avoiding public transport, and not attending weddings – all to get out of being conscripted into the Ukrainian military.
This comes as Ukraine is on the look-out for more fighters as it has struggled to replenish its army while thousands of soldiers from North Korea join Russia.
Roman, 33, an entrepreneur in Lviv, said he pays $1,000 a month to receive an exemption.
He explained: ‘Eighty per cent of my friends who went to fight have been killed and I don’t want to join them. By now we all know what happens.
‘I am lucky I have money and my own business so don’t need to be on public transport or in places where the mobilisation gangs operate. I don’t go to restaurants or weddings.’
Desertions from the Ukraine army are at an all-time high since the recent escalation of conflict began in 2022.

[Reading Chronicle]
A few points to note: firstly, that the Reading Chronicle does not identify the defendant as a Roma Gypsy (other than by publishing a photo). The newspaper does not even take the usual msm-weasel approach of calling her “Romanian”, which is so often seen but rarely strictly correct (the Roma gypsies are, ethnically, not Romanians, as such, even when they hold Romanian passports and/or live in Romania).
Secondly, the woman in question is obviously a persistent nuisance, yet is sentenced to only 8 months (for a total of 9 offences), meaning that she will do 40% of c.32 weeks, about 12 weeks.
Thirdly, why is she even (allowed) here? Get rid of her, and all the others like her, and stop similar trash from entering the country.

Regular readers will know that I have blogged recently about the fact that Starmer-Labour has no real mandate. The electoral system of the UK has been broken beyond easy repair.
At GE 2024, out of every 20 people eligible to vote, and in very rough terms, 8 did not vote at all, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.
That is Starmer’s and Labour’s mandate— 4 out of 20. For pedants, arguably, 4 out of 12. Not much of a mandate either way.
Tell that to the academics who have been recently suspended or dismissed due to the content of a taught course or of writings in their field. I know of at least one case at the University of Cambridge and one at University College London.

Peter Hitchens is a confirmed political spectator, and has certain fixed views, one of which seems to be a huge over-valuation of the importance of voting every 4-5 years. He thinks that MPs are terrified of their voters voting them out. No, because they have incentives to vote according to other motivations, such as lobby money, outside “work” as “consultants”, party discipline (careerism), possibility of a paid “peerage” down the line etc.
Another Hitchens characteristic is that he is very fixated on the “two main parties” set-up which has dominated British politics (with LibDem and SNP distractions) since the Second World War and to a large extent since the First World War.
Hitchens seems to think that it was wrong for the public to turn to Reform UK, and that it would have been better to have had a Labour government with a much smaller majority.
I disagree. That would change nothing, and the UK needs to change (though not in the Starmer-Labour way). Hitchens seems to support a different kind of Conservative Party, if possible, but you cannot put new wine into old bottles.
There isn't one. If there was an opportunity to reforge conservatism in this country, which is arguable, it passed in 2010, when British patriotic conservatives endorsed David Cameron's Blairite takeover of the Tory Party.( as I have said here 1,000 times before).@rikstoreyhttps://t.co/TUXqKHA67o
Regular readers will know that I have little time for Farage, let alone Tice etc. They are not social-national. However, their Reform UK project has moved the “Overton Window”, and has started to break up the rigged political system that has been in place all of my life.
Hitchens is right in saying, as he does, that Reform UK is just Farage, but you could have said that about, say, on a higher and more significant political level, Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP.
As Rudolf Hess said, famously, at Nuremberg in 1934, “Die Partei ist Hitler, aber Hitler ist Deutschland wie Deutschland Hitler ist!” [see https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6uajey at 1:43:00].
For me, Reform UK is but one means to an end, not the final destination.

“In his 1991 book Geschichtsdenken im 20. Jahrhundert (Historical Thinking in the 20th Century), Nolte asserted that the 20th century had produced three “extraordinary states”, namely Germany, the Soviet Union, and Israel. He claimed that all three were “abnormal once”, but whereas the Soviet Union and Germany were now “normal” states, Israel was still “abnormal” and, in Nolte’s view, in danger of becoming a fascist state that might commit genocide against the Palestinians.”
Good grief. What a list! Only one or two are even European. Suella Braverman of Indian origins; James Cleverly of mixed African and English origins; Kemi Badenoch, Nigerian; Priti Patel, East African Indian origin; Tom Tugendhat, quarter-Jewish; Robert Jenrick, possibly fully-English (uncertain); Victoria Atkins.
Speaking personally, if I were in any case a Conservative, I should find Jenrick unacceptable by reason of his seeming (?) corruption, his Jewish personal links (not just his wife, his social circle, which seems to consist largely of Jewish business sharks), and his poor judgment in office.
Tugendhat? Apart from his part-Jewish origins, he is very very keen on support for Israel and the Kiev regime. Also, I am always suspicious when someone, especially from a privileged background (his father was a High Court judge), has a large hole in his or her CV.
Tugendhat seems to have graduated in or about 1994, then spent a year (?) getting a Master’s degree in Islamic studies. After that, he spent a brief time as a journalist on an English-language newspaper in Beirut.
We next hear of Tugendhat about 6-7 years later, in 2003, when he is gazetted as a Territorial Army officer (after a month or two, joining the Intelligence Corps); as of 2013, Lt.-Colonel in the Int. Corps. He was also working, ostensibly for the Foreign Office and in a civilian capacity or role, in Iraq in 2005.
As MP and minister, Tugendhat has been associated with both “security” matters and allied matters of so-called “extremism”. He seems to be hostile to free speech, especially about Israel and the Jewish/Zionist lobby.
Well, one can draw one’s own conclusions.
Not much to say about Victoria Atkins. A barrister by training, and married to a multi-millionaire who is a director of numerous large companies, including British Sugar.
I cannot see any of the above appealing to the British voters.
The only Conservative Party MP for whom I would have any time at all would be David Davis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Davis_(British_politician)], who at least has proven that he has principle, respect for civil rights and, also, courage. He, however, is now 75, and may not want to lead that rabble anyway.
