This week, the questions seemed harder than usual. Political journalist John Rentoul only scored 2/10, and I did little better— 3/10. I knew the answers to questions 2, 5, and 6.
🛑 REVEALED on @TalkTV: the public has *no right to know* where asylum seekers are housed and how much taxpayer money is spent on luxuries for their flats/hotels, in case it “damages their mental health and safety,” according to a landmark ruling by Information Commissioner 🙄😲
…and the Bar itself is now a bad joke, filled with semi-literate idiots who know nothing, and are terribly afraid of standing up to the “woke” police state. They put their financial interests first.
(((The usual suspects))) have been behind most of the Bar’s slide into irrelevance and falling prestige.
It is an incredible threat that embeds and kills everything that speaks against it. Deadly mind virus.
Covid was without doubt a risk to some, but it's danger was blown out of proportion, and in many cases, figures were inflated. it had a detrimental effect on the economy and the mental health of many, probably far surpassing the true dangers of the virus itself.
“Covid was without doubt a risk to some, but it’s danger was blown out of proportion, and in many cases, figures were inflated. it had a detrimental effect on the economy and the mental health of many, probably far surpassing the true dangers of the virus itself. governments were just winging it with many poorly thought out and unneeded decisions, and with heavy implementation of censorship taken up to silence those that opposed it, even though our own governments didn’t follow their own rules, of which they were forcing the entire country to follow. I can only hope I never see someone being paid to drive around blaring a “please stay inside” pre-recorded message out of a megaphone. This was however short term bullshit that we got out of. As for the metaphorical virus that we speak of; it will be far more pervasive, detrimental and long lasting to our country and the things that keep it ticking along. People are making decisions for our country based on a buzzword pissing match, and those that oppose it are being ever more censored, sacked, arrested or whatever else.“
The mind virus seems to take the form of “regulators”.
For “regulators“, read “censors“, “snoopers“, “Stasi” etc.
This is pure #CommonPurpose, Alex. They have been particularly active in the Justice system for decades, and many lawyers and judges are their graduates.
Typical. Still, “always look on the bright side of life“— at least the Untermensch now has to pick up litter in Bristol for 150 hours, probably the only good he has ever done for the British people since he has been here (whether born here or not).
2. The young woman in question has never been in any trouble before. She has no idea what she has done, and the police are refusing to tell her.
This is Starmer’s Britain. You don’t need to be guilty of anything beyond holding the wrong opinion. Please follow @fictions_pulp and…
“1.BREAKING!!!! 19 year old woman visited by anti terrorist unit and @MerseyPolice yesterday. They asked her about her politics, if she is right wing, and why she had an ‘Anglo Saxon’ replica helmet in the house. They refused to say what she was accused of… They confiscated property… (a replica decorative sword hanging on her parents wall) and advised her: “Bite your tongue before talking on line.” @SpeechUnion@CollegeofPolice.”
The officers involved in this did not reveal they were from Counter Terrorism until they were inside the house. They questioned my daughter about her parents’ politics, they asked her about her religion and her political views .
The sheer cheek of the plods in question! Playing their “counter-terrorism” games. Put them back into uniform and get them patrolling “Murkyside’s” increasingly-dangerous streets.
Anyone who thinks that the above are not the tactics of a police state, even if —so far— a “poundshop” one, has not been paying attention.
The police (especially those ignorant of most relevant political and historical matters, and even relevant law, which means the vast majority) have no right and no business threatening the free speech of the people.
Keir Starmer has form for relegating the needs of women… When he was DPP, he was part of the team that gave protection to deluded cocks in frocks whilst ignoring actual women. https://t.co/YqvOyEb2fM
Never forget that, out of every 20 eligible voters, and out of every 12 voters who voted, only 4 voted Labour at GE 2024 (and many of those “Labour” voters only did so in order to bin the “Conservative” misgovernment of the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak).
You turned up at the young woman’s home, refused to tell her the nature of the complaint, and warned her to “bite her tongue” before speaking in the future.
You imagine you’re the good guys. You are not. You are political gangsters. https://t.co/vBDCrGyXzi
This is shocking. "Bite your tongue before talking online" — an apt strapline for the Labour Government's approach to online free speech. https://t.co/IBb3IK2rPA
That is the slippery slope down which a society slides when it says “you can have free speech but not hate speech“— and guess (((which))) element is at the forefront of shutting down freedom of expression in our country? That’s right…”them”.
No. The UK does not reject hate, which you define as ‘dislike, ill feeling, and antagonism.”We have an absolute right to dislike. And both justice and Parliament rely on antagonism.
Without “‘dislike, ill feeling, and antagonism” as options, there remains only abject subservience to the police state, all “happy” shiny little mixed-race or pro-racemixing people, and all applauding the pseudo-liberal State and multikulti society. Intellectual discrimination is central to a progressive (in the real sense) society, a society about to rationally choose its path to the future.
Yvette Cooper, a member of Labour Friends of Israel, is evil, as well as having been an expenses fraudster and freeloader who has never been punished. She must be removed from any position of power.
The young woman whose home was invaded by the “Murkyside” poundland Stasi “counter-terror” bad jokes has tweeted:

Refused to tell me what I’ve said Refused to tell me where I said it Refused to tell me how it flagged
took my 60 year old fathers decorative samurai sword
In an ideal world, every single one of those poundland Stasi police would themselves have their homes violated, and possessions confiscated, and members of their families questioned and alarmed. Maybe one day…
Exact words were “bite your tongue before talking online”
Until very recent years, I retained a residual respect for the police, at least the rank-and-file. No longer. Useless at their proper job(s), and playing, many of them, at being “counter-terror” operatives. A bad joke force, nothing more.
My impressions (I did not watch the whole discussion): the CIA Director seemed more thoughtful, far more considered, and far less less gung-ho than the SIS Chief, who seemed shallow in his judgments. As in? Well, as in “the Ukrainians have the will to continue fighting“. Really? Is that why the Kiev regime has to employ press-gangs to recruit young-ish men? Is that why the Kiev regime is running out of soldiers willing to fight?
It seemed to me that the CIA Director was quite interested in finding a negotiated solution in Ukraine, whereas the SIS Chief seemed a far smaller figure altogether, foolishly referring to the Kiev regime as “our Ukrainian friends“. They are not our “friends” at all, but supplicants and beggars, arrogant demanding beggars at that.
The UK has virtually no common history with Ukraine at all, and of course Ukraine only became a state (and then, only in name) 30 years ago. Now a brutal, shambolic dictatorship.
Incidentally,
“In 2008, Burns wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: “Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.”[17]“
[Wikipedia].
Pity that Burns is not Chief of SIS! Still, there it is…
What bs is Richard Moore putting out to the public (and to Government? Or is he telling the British Government what it wants to hear, as happened with one of his predecessors before the invasion of Iraq?), about how “Ukraine” (the regime in Kiev) is fighting on, and even “winning” (does he go that far?—maybe not), the fact is that Russian forces are advancing, and will continue to advance, at present mainly in the Donbass region, then across all Eastern Ukraine, either this year or in 2025.
A poor week. I scored only the same as political journalist John Rentoul— 3/10. I knew only the answers to questions 1, 2, and 5; had I thought a bit more, I should also have recalled no. 9 and no. 10.
Talking point
As David Starkey says, Starmer is (along with others and, particularly but not exclusively, in “the party formerly known as Labour”) attempting to institute a kind of “woke” and multikulti police state.
Where I differ from Starkey is in having no faith in the idea that a different ethos of national identity can suddenly emerge or be fostered, not without a homogenous population. The UK population is going the other way, becoming ever-more heterogenous, and spinning out of control.
I also differ from Starkey in that he thinks, or hopes, that, if he or someone else puts forward a reasoned and reasonable argument, eventually people will accept the propositions put forward. The credo of the traditional or classical academic.
All very well, as far as it goes, but Mao put forward the credo of Realpolitik, that is “political power comes out of the barrel of a gun“.
Not that that I agree wholeheartedly with that Maoist quotation either. The —by any other name— “revolution” in the DDR/East Germany in 1989 was not violent. There were vast, though peaceful, demonstrations in several major DDR cities (Dresden, Leipzig etc). The Lutheran Church was part of all that.
The East German state was still arresting some dissidents even in 1989, but the heart had gone. I recall the strange feeling I had when spending a couple of days in the DDR in 1988. Like a stage set of a state rather than a real one, an impression made stronger by the seemingly almost-depopulated southern parts of East Germany through which I travelled by car. I have blogged once or twice previously about my impressions of the place(s).
As a matter of fact, the slightly contrived “revolutions” of the late 1980s in Romania, Czechoslovakia etc were mainly non-violent, as they were in the pribaltika (Baltic states). I myself saw Czechoslovakia briefly in 1988, just before it all happened, and was in Poland several times in 1988 and 1989.
In Poland, even in 1988, one got the impression that the state there was going through the motions of being a “socialist” state but that, just under the surface, the whole population, pretty much, was “dissident” in one way or another; a kind of vast, non-violent anti-socialist conspiracy of a whole people.
Even in the Soviet Union, a huge “revolution” happened over several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, mostly though not entirely peaceful, and including (as in Romania and elsewhere) many elements of the socialist-state structure.
Starkey is or was a Conservative, politically. He seems at least slightly taken with Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick. Why? The first is a Nigerian (though born in London) and so, in my opinion, unfitted by that fact alone to be a British political leader, let alone Prime Minister. I have, also, never heard anything worthwhile from her.
Born 1982, qualified late as solicitor, aged 26, but was in legal practice for only about 4 years (with two of the leading American law firms, sequentially; presumably quite junior), and was then (somehow; how?) a director of Christie’s auctioneers (though only until he became an MP a few months later).
Jenrick’s provenance interests me. It also disquiets.
Jenrick, yet another member of Conservative Friends of Israel, is tied up with Jewish businessmen and property-developer sharks, and pushed for the ruination of the small park by the Palace of Westminster by the proposed construction of a hugely-ugly “holocaust” “memorial” and propaganda centre.
In addition, Jenrick ordered, as minister for immigration, murals for children of migrant-invaders to be painted over because the colourful murals might give them pleasure and comfort.
No-one, I think, could accuse me of being either pro-immigration or in favour of granting privileges to migrant-invaders, but that mean-spirited targeting of any small children of such invaders by Jenrick felt morally wrong to me.
Like Starmer, Jenrick is married to a Jewish woman and has had children with her.
Jenrick just feels wrong to me. He’s a bad apple.
As to the Starkey interview, while I can agree with much of what he says there, he is too much in the ivory tower in the end.
Ironically, for someone “cancelled” by the System for making “racist” remarks, he seems to me insufficiently so. How does he imagine this country will recover in the way that he hopes when 20% of the population is already non-European, and with another ~million coming in every year at present? Make that, conservatively, about a 2% increase annually.
It seems to me that Starkey knows in his heart that I am right (even if, as is quite likely, he has never heard of me), but fears to say so; don’t forget that he “apologized” and tried to retract after he was “cancelled”. Never pretend to apologize to either the mob or to “them” (((them))).
The video is worth watching, though.
Further talking points
Good grief.
Listen to that “muppet” (on the second video clip), one Benjamin Butterworth. Complete idiot. Complete traitor to this country’s people and their future, too. Former (?) Chairman of Young Labour (in London). Scribbled a few times for the Guardian some years ago, apparently. https://www.theguardian.com/profile/benjamin-butterworth.
Poor thinking skills. Very poor, in fact. A fanatic, but one with nothing of interest to say. Claims that “legal immigrants” (the vast majority of all immigrants) all “come into the country with a job“. A straight lie. Huge numbers enter as supposed “fiances”, “fiancees”, “spouses”, “students”, “family members”, “asylum seekers” etc; and even those supposedly entering “with a job” (on work visas) are often not bona fide at all.
I fear that much of Starmer’s strongest support comes from semi-educated and anti-British fanatics of that sort.
I rather think that GB News had that Butterworth on because they knew that he would create a kind of petty storm among the discussion panel.
Labour’s master-strategy for industrial peace: throw money at the (unionized) groups in society that shout the most (train drivers, junior doctors etc).
MOST READ this week #1. Here comes the free speech CRACKDOWN –which we must RESIST. How Labour and the left plan to undermine our hard-won freedomshttps://t.co/zV4J9VyUSV
Interesting to note that the msm always applauds “resistance” (including violent “resistance”) in, for example, historically, the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, Italy, Spain, and in various other parts of the world; in South America, even in contemporary North America and Europe, so long as Jews, non-whites, or sometimes Communist partisans, are doing the various forms of “protest”, but as soon as contemporary white people do the same, they must, apparently, be shut down, “cancelled”, even prosecuted and, indeed, even imprisoned. Not even because they have been violent, in fact. Look at Jez Turner, imprisoned for making a speech, Alison Chabloz, for singing satirical songs and posting cartoons; more recently, Sam Melia, for having published stickers the subject-matter of which was not even unlawful.
Remember “two-tier Keir” and thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner being photographed literally “taking the knee” (bowing down before) the fraudulent “Black Lives Matter” nonsense?

Carol Vorderman thinks that Nigel Farage is a snake-oil salesman. Well, not much argument from me on that, but wait until La Vorderman discovers the truth about Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves etc…
Of course, the main reason that Farage recently distanced himself from the English protests, and especially their riotous offshoots, was because he does not want OFCOM to pressure GB News to cut off his work (and money).

The only question is whether Putin will simply utilize conventional military methods to push the Kiev-regime forces out of that part of the Kursk region which they have recently invaded, or whether he will do something entirely unexpected by the Western msm, such as use very powerful bombs and missiles (even tactical nuclear ones) to blast clear the whole of the occupied area. There is an outside chance that he might even launch a massive air bombardment on Kharkov or even Kiev.
Whatever the Russian response is, the Kiev-regime forces will be unable to hold the recently-invaded territory. Zelensky himself has admitted as much, though saying that Kiev “is not interested” in doing so. If that is so, why invade that territory in the first place? Clearly, as a public relations exercise to keep Western arms and money flowing in.
Meanwhile, in the Donbass region to the south, Russian forces are steadily advancing at present. About a mile per day. Not spectacular, but the Kiev-regime forces, short of —most of all— soldiers, will have no chance of regaining those areas, or of stopping the Russian advance, all the more so now that some of the better Ukrainian detachments have been re-deployed to assist with the Kursk incursion.

The old lady is cooking (I think) manti [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manti_(food)] or pelmeni [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelmeni], foods quite similar inter se, and not dissimilar to ravioli.

Retired people in Russia now get a pension of about £200 a month. Not much (under Yeltsin, it was only about £25, and not always paid), but it must go quite far in a Siberian village. Milk, tea, bread, flour etc.
It occurs to me that, were the world to be hit by nuclear war, and depending on how severe that would be, people of that type might survive better than those who live, as most of us do, in Western (or Russian) cities, towns, suburbs, or partly-suburbanized countryside.
As someone once said of the Louisiana Cajuns living in and around the Mississippi Delta, “when the rest of the world is starving, these people will still be eating.”

The Government is going to borrow money to fund the National Wealth Fund that will then give private investors guaranteed returns on expensive technology like Carbon Capture and green hydrogen, guaranteeing high energy bills for decades to come. https://t.co/Wrv3I9I7ZX
Starmer-Labour is clueless. The time for a National Wealth Fund would have been in the 1970s and onward, using North Sea Oil revenues, but the System parties gave most of the benefit to oil companies and foreign speculators.
Again, clueless. Mad. Crazed. Would-be dictator Yvette Cooper, who is closer to her evil dream than ever before, is even more of a police-statist than Starmer. She must be stopped. Starmer must be stopped.
Already, people who have nothing to do with “terrorism” (even taking the term at face value) are being snooped upon and sometimes raided by the police, under (some of them) their new-ish Stasi-lite grand title of “the Anti-Terror Command”.

Well, another victory over political journalist John Rentoul this week: Rentoul scored 4/10; my score was 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 3, 7, and 8.
So, in the end, British free speech and civil rights were killed off, not by “Nazis”, and not by Communists (as such), but by a bespectacled, mealy-mouthed, charisma-free, little bureaucrat-lawyer turned Labour Party MP, with a Jewish wife and some buy-to-let properties.
“Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin) echoing, inter alia, my recent blog posts about the lack of legitimate mandate for Starmer-Labour. As said previously, out of every 20 people eligible to vote at GE 2024, 8 decided not to vote at all, perhaps because no social-national party or movement exists (as yet).
Out of every 20 eligible voters, and out of every 12 voters who voted, only 4 voted Labour (Con 3, Reform UK 2, LibDems 2, Greens 1), in rough terms.
The Starmer-Labour government has no legitimacy, and no mandate.
Well, sad to say, that is nonsense. Human beings cannot live on other planets (the ones we know about) because the atmospheres are poisonous, and because the gravity is either too little or too great (meaning the human body cannot, over time, take the stresses).
There is no soil or water on other known planets which might be available for agriculture.
Other planets in our solar system are either too hot or too cold for human life to survive.
Several known planets are “gas giants”, and have no hard surface on which even to land or locate an artificial colony.
There is no way (short of somehow living in giant glass bubbles) for human beings even to live on the Moon, let alone Mars or Jupiter. There is also no point in human beings living —if they could— on other planets.
This whole idea of interplanetary colonization is a waste of effort. What it comes down to is a few billionaires who, however you look at it, have far too much money, and who are engaged in a puerile competition with each other, the prize seeming to be the status of having been the first to send loads of affluent tourists on joy-trips around the Earth and, eventually, Moon.
Incidentally, using current technology, it would take 200+ days to reach Mars. Jupiter? Between 600 days to get close, but up to 2,000 days to get into Jupiter’s orbit and/or land. So 2-6 years. Uranus? Perhaps 9 years. Neptune? Estimates vary between 9 and 18 years.

German air force colonel confirms what anyone with even a passing interest in military strategy already knew.
The Kursk "raid" is a waste of men, materiel and time. It's a PR stunt.
“The Russian Army has destroyed a column of Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment that broke through in the Kursk region.
The enemy was moving in the Malaya Loknya area – this is approximately 15-20 km from the border.
The equipment stopped, where it was overtaken. The vehicles were destroyed by Ka-52M helicopters, and the infantry in the forest was finished off by artillery.“
The Ukrainian (Kiev regime) advance appears to have no goal other than to reassure the suppliers of money and weapons in the West: “look what we can do!” etc.
The Kiev regime has insufficient men and armour to penetrate Russia more deeply, and it has no supply capability for such a serious operation. The Kiev regime advance will (even taking it at face value) run out of steam and then be unable to resupply its columns.
If the Wehrmacht in the early 1940s found itself lost in the vast prostor (apparently-limitless space) of Russia, how could Zelensky’s pitiful forces do better?
Is the Kiev regime trying to get Russia to use tactical nuclear weapons (either in the field or on Kiev) as a way of dragging NATO into the war directly? Let us hope not.
A 26-year-old man has been sentenced to three years and two months in prison after he pleaded guilty to publishing written material to stir up racial hatred: https://t.co/8fe6PPq9srpic.twitter.com/O1LoHHSTvC
So despite the relatively young age of the defendant, despite the fact that the judge decided not to ask for any pre-sentence reports, and despite the fact that the defendant pleaded guilty, the judge in his wisdom decided to inflict upon the defendant an immediate custodial sentence of no less than 3 years (plus that mean little extra two months). Purely political, emanating from “two-tier Keir”, his recent poundshop-dictatorship speech, and his pathetic “Lord Chancellor” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabana_Mahmood#Early_life_and_career].
I know nothing about the case or the defendant but, in view of the harsh sentence, frankly my feeling is that he might as well have pleaded not guilty and gone for jury trial. He might have struck lucky.
It occurs to me that the present wave of repression in the UK has, as its psychological foundation, the way in which a medically-camouflaged police state structure of law and regulation was set up during 2020-2021; the years of the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic. The System was interested to see how craven most people were, meekly giving in to the demand to “wear a mask!” (in some places but not in others), “keep 2 metres apart!” (in some places) and all the other nonsense, such as the crazy and arbitrary “Rule of 6” made up by stupid poseur “Boris” Johnson. All that and, even more Draconian, the “lockdown(s)”.
We saw during the “panicdemic” how the courts at first went along with all the nonsense, though sense generally prevailed later on. As for the police, their behaviour during the “Covid” scam was nothing short of absolutely disgusting. Now look— they are again acting as a poundland KGB or Stasi.

This can only end one way, but under the already -considerable repression in the UK, I cannot specify anything without having to endure —yet again— the boring nuisance of having to talk to police drones at my door (as has happened a number of times in the past decade), and must therefore hope that readers can read between the lines, as in all authoritarian/totalitarian states…
“Britain’s almost 60-year experiment in hate-speech legislation is a warning to the world. We first introduced an offence of ‘inciting racial hatred’ in 1965, in the Race Relations Act. Fast forward to today and we now have laws against ‘incitement to religious hatred’, ‘grossly offensive’ online communications and a police force who routinely harass women for calling men men on the internet. Cops have also taken to quietly recording ‘non-crime hate incidents’ against citizens’ names, when the pesky law gets in the way of their authoritarianism.
The upshot of this is a scale of speech-policing that is surely unprecedented in our history. In 2017, an investigation by The Times found that nine people a day were being arrested for ‘posting allegedly offensive messages online’ – with 3,395 arrested in 2016 alone. Even then, that investigation was limited to one piece of legislation – the Communications Act – and the real number is almost certainly higher, not least because many police forces didn’t respond to the survey. Greg Lukianoff, president of America’s estimable Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, argues that, on the basis of those partial numbers alone, Britain is comfortably locking up more people today for speech crimes than America did during the first Red Scare.
When people think of hate-speech laws they probably imagine some vicious fascist, being dawn-raided for airing toxic, ancient hatreds. There’s still a bit of that. But as those racist rioters remind us, while they are mercifully small in number, censoring racists doesn’t make racists go away – it just forces them to spew their bile out of sight, at the fringes and in fetid echo chambers, where they can’t be clocked or challenged. What’s more, there are many supposed speech criminals who – while offensive to some – are hardly dangerous bigots. There’s Count Dankula, the YouTuber who was convicted in Scotland for making a ‘grossly offensive’ comedy video in which he taught his pug to do a Nazi salute. Feminist Kate Scottow was convicted of causing ‘needless anxiety’ via persistent ‘misgendering’ – thankfully, that one was overturned. Christian street preachers are often arrested by the police for airing their predictably less-than-liberal views on homosexuality and transgenderism. This has been going on for decades now. Indeed, it’s been almost 20 years since Sam Brown, a student at Oxford University, was famously arrested for calling a police horse gay.
More alarmingly, the British state is increasingly taking an interest in things people say in private. There have been a fewcases now in which people in England have been convicted for racist posts made in private WhatsApp groups. In Scotland, the great, sinister innovation of Humza Yousaf’s Hate Crime Act is that it forgoes the usual dwelling defence – a feature of existing hate-speech legislation that prohibits arrest over speech uttered in your own home. Now, any Scottish dinner-table chat could be a crime scene.
Certainly, incitement to violence, true threats and so on are crimes in every civilised society – even in America, where the First Amendment renders any censorship of speech and the press unconstitutional. But ‘incitement to hatred’ and ‘grossly offensive’ speech are different things entirely. One man’s hatred is another man’s passionately held moral conviction. Offence is always in the eye of the beholder. We all think we know hate or offence when we see it, but at the end of the day everyone will draw the line slightly differently. You’re then left with someone having to decide, and nowadays that means someone like Keir Starmer – a man who until about five minutes ago thought it is ‘not right’ to say that only women can have a cervix.“
[Spiked magazine]
Part of all that is also to do with the numbers of people now in the UK who are actually either foreign and born overseas, or foreign, born of foreign parents, but in the UK.
Such people are now often to be found in public sector jobs, having acquired a degree from one of Britain’s new “universities” (with their ingrained “antifascist”-type bias). Police, probation people, civil servants, lawyers, academics, MPs, “journalists” (ill-informed scribblers), TV talking heads etc.
They are the foot-soldiers of the “woke” police state, and have no centuries of freedom of expression, or the struggles for that, to look back upon. They just have no inbred respect for free speech.
Sadly, their numbers now include English/British people as well, many of whom are entirely ignorant of English history, let alone world history, and have no respect for, or even understanding of, freedom of expression, free speech.

Keir Starmer is considering a clampdown on “Islamophobia”. That would be a disaster. It would be an intolerable assault on our right to think and say whatever we want. No religion, including Islam, should be protected from blasphemy, says Brendan O’Neillhttps://t.co/z2cOHtM55Q
Another step on the UK’s road to perdition. Already, almost any criticism or even observation made about Jews, or Jewish behaviour, is likely to be treated as some kind of “hate speech”, either by police and CPS drones, or by the self-appointed defenders of Jewish/Zionist “entitlement”, such as the malicious and so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”].
Already, the laws of the UK are such that almost any leading historical thinkers such as Jesus Christ, St. Paul, Luther, Marx, Nietzsche etc would be prosecuted were they alive and living in contemporary Britain.

Labour confirms it is dropping plans to have a "UK connection test", which would have restricted social housing to long-term UK residents
Whatever the nuances of housing supply and demand, mass immigration is the major factor in driving up both purchase prices and rental costs.
Between 500,000 and a million new “inhabitants” in the UK every single year, almost all non-white, non-European, newcomers.
Only idiots such as now-washed-up former MP, Pakistani pro-Israel puppet and Muslim apostate, Sajid Javid cannot see, or refuse to accept, the connection

“Let me get this straight: Keir Starmer is releasing violent criminals from prison just to replace them with people who commit thought crimes on @X. And he is spending police resources investigating and going after people for retweets and Facebook posts when there is a shitload of violent crime all over Britain.“
There is an historical precedent of sorts for what Starmer etc are doing.
In Stalin’s day, the Soviet criminal legal system regarded ordinary, i.e. real, criminals as “class allies“. They got far more lenient sentences for their crimes of acquisition or violence than either the so-called “former people” (aristocrats and the middle classes), i.e. “class enemies“, usually sentenced for what they were, rather than what they had done, or the political prisoners, the most harshly-treated of all, who were regarded as terrorists, saboteurs, or simple traitors, even if they had done nothing but write a socio-political critique, or even a poem.

“Counter-offensive against Russia” – Zelensky’s most risky decision, which has been secretly planned for months, Kiev is taking risks with the army and technology, according to The Times of London, citing sources
Main points from the article citing high sources in Kyiv:
Zelensky pressured the military leadership to start an offensive for months in complete secrecy.
In Kiev, they want to change the narrative that Ukraine is losing the war.
Ukraine would attack Russia even without Western permission.
This is the most risky decision since the beginning of the war, because Moscow will do everything to regain the territories.
The forces allocated for this operation range from 6,000 to 10,000 soldiers (probably more in reality).
The military leadership is ready to risk soldiers and expensive equipment in order to achieve something in this direction.“
As blogged previously, this operation is a propaganda/public relations exercise.
The Kiev regime has no military objective in sight, unless it is to reach Kursk, 77 miles from Sudzha where the front-line seems to be at present.
In the unlikely event that the Kiev-regime forces reach and take Sudzha, and then move up the good-quality 2-lane highway to Kursk, all that will happen will be that those forces will be encircled and destroyed by air as well as armour.
The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers, even recently recruited (pressed into service) ones. It also has no logistics capability to sustain a deep thrust into Russian territory. Russian air power must be all but unchallenged in the Kursk region.
Still there you are. If you allow a sleazy, corrupt, Jewish former TV comedian to pose as President of Ukraine, expect disasters…

The odd life and downward progress of Katie Price also somewhat reminds me of a far more literate, though I think not very nice person, Jeffrey Bernard, who was once described as “having made a career from writing about dying from cirrhosis“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Bernard.
Bernard’s Spectator column could be, sometimes, brilliantly funny. More often, it was simply absent, with what became the standard apologia, “Jeffrey Bernard is unwell“, below a substituted piece by someone else.
Incidentally, I once had a copy of the book about him, Just the One (referring to his habit of saying —usually inaccurately— that he had popped into a pub for one drink only). Really funny, though sad too in places.

If the courts and general legal and justice system are not exercizing their proper independence, but are simply obeying the purported diktats of “two-tier Keir” and that bureaucrat-drone who seems to be the new Director of Public Prosecutions, then the courts themselves have no legitimacy.

During the Black Lives Matter protests, left-wing commentators argued that protest, vandalism, and even violence were necessary to highlight injustice. I disagreed then, and I do now, but where are those voices today?
There IS an obvious injustice: the British working class has been maligned, slandered, ignored, fobbed off, and lied to for a generation. They can’t buy a house, their kids are in overcrowded classrooms, and they watch as illegal migrants get private accommodation for free. How is that not something to be angry about?
Our political class prioritizes everyone else’s interests over theirs. These politicians are clueless about the real struggles these young men face.
Abandoned, left to fend for themselves, and when they finally lash out, we throw away the key. It’s disgraceful. Instead of addressing the root causes of their anger, they fan the flames, and believe me, they’re not alone in their fury.“

“The reason the UK’s elite class is so hostile to Elon Musk and other dissenters is because they can sense they are losing control of the narrative and the conversation.
We are simply no longer in a world where the national conversation and what is considered “true” can be controlled by the same groups of people –who come from the same backgrounds, have the same values, the same political loyalties, and want the same outcomes. That era, when the elite class dominate what used to be the most important and influential institutions, is over. It is done. And, as@KonstantinKisin has rightly noted, it is never coming back. We are in a new era.
As I wrote in a book last year, many people in the West are rapidly giving up on “a national conversation” that no longer reflects their values, their voice, and which considers some groups in society, usually minority groups, to be more virtuous than others.
he elite class could have responded to this trend by opening themselves up; they chose to the opposite while also attacking anybody who questioned their consensus along the way.
This is why so many people are now flocking to new media –X, Substack, etc–all of which reflect how the game has changed, how the conversation has changed. And this new media, crucially, is insulating counter-cultural writers and thinkers who are willing to take on the broken consensus, professionally and financially.
Were they still in the legacy institutions these counter-cultural voices would be harassed, bullied, intimidated, cancelled, shut down and silenced. Just look at the amount of hostility I get from university academics or established columnists who think they have a right to control the national conversation, a palpable sense of entitlement. Well, they don’t. And they can no longer control the conversation. Because for the first time in history, we have a counter-cultural class, a counter-elite if you like, who are not only independent from the legacy institutions but are fully insulated and protected from those institutions. And through their reach, influence, and power, they can wield just as much influence over the national conversation, if not more, as the traditional elite class.
So long as ordinary people are willing to support and spread these voices the game has completely changed. The only people who have not realised this are the elite class, who even when they have tried to embrace new media have fundamentally misunderstood it.
Just look at the UK podcast circuit, the flagship shows. The same people. The same insiders. The same rotation of the same names who all cling to the same values but refuse to have any meaningful, serious, cross-cutting debate about possible alternatives. And just look at the reaction to the protests.
What much of the elite class, the elite conversation, considers “controversial” or “incendiary” views are entirely normal views out there in the country. Everybody can see this which is why public confidence and trust in legacy institutions is collapsing.
With a few notable exceptions, they refuse to open themselves up to alternative viewpoints and so are merely pushing more and more people to look elsewhere, hastening their own demise. Imagine for a moment if coverage of the UK riots and protests had only been available in legacy media. Imagine what that would have looked like.
This is why there are now two conversations going on in this country. What we might call the “approved”, official narrative that you see on legacy media, which is promoted by the elite class and which, in my view, looks ridiculous and out-of-touch with the country. As I said last night, if you really think what’s happening in Britain right now is because of a coordinated social campaign being led by Tommy Robinson, Andrew Tate, and Elon Musk then you really need to reassess what you are reading and how you are living because you are completely disconnected from the country.
…what we might call the “unofficial” narrative that is largely playing out on new media and which despite being framed by the elite class as “misinformation” or “disinformation” is often grounded in reality. We can all watch the videos with our own eyes. We can all read. We are not idiots. We are not mindless lemmings. There is no putting all this back in the box.
Personally, I think the elite class in this country now has a choice. They can either engage with new media and open up the national conversation to alternative viewpoints or they can continue to double down, which in the end will only fuel the rise of alternative media, writers & thinkers. So if you feel the elite conversation is no longer sufficient or needs to be radically reformed then obviously come and join us at http://mattgoodwin.org but beyond that ensure you have a bunch of other counter-cultural perspectives in your timeline each day, and you are promoting alternative voices. Because now is the time to be doing that, not clinging to some outdated, narrow orthodoxy which has left millions of people feeling they have no voice in the conversation. In other words, don’t be a sheep.”

Still, looking at Starmer’s first month in power (a month and 3 days), one can see that he has no idea how to be a Prime Minister, no ideology (beyond his craven support for Israel and the Jewish lobby), no ideals to speak of, not even any interesting ideas. He may only have been Prime Minister for a month or so, but has had years to develop a plan. As the Americans say, all we hear are crickets.

“The good news story here is the vast majority of Brits reject violence and disorder and do not blame immigrants themselves. But the bad news story for Keir Starmer, Labour and in fact much of the political class that has presided over this country for the last 30 years is that a significant if not substantial share of the British people now directly associate this unrest with the policy of mass immigration and display significant levels of support and sympathy for peaceful protest against this policy.
They could quite easily be drawn into some kind of wider peaceful protest against mass immigration. This is why I am continually urging Starmer and the gvt to wake up, get deal, and step back from their extreme policy of mass immigration otherwise Britain’s communities will end up tearing themselves apart.”

Fanatical Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson claiming that the National Front “plotted to blow up Jews“. Untrue. Ahistorical nonsense. The National Front was a genuine and legitimate political party, albeit a fairly small or even fringe one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Front_(UK). Apparently, it still exists, at least in name.
In the 1970s, the National Front was the fourth-largest party in terms of both members and votes, certainly the latter.
As for Myerson, who operates out of Leeds and Manchester, he was recently removed as a Recorder (p/t judge) after having repeatedly abused people on Twitter/X etc, and after having failed to listen to initial “advice” (in effect, an admonishment or reprimand) from the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.

I just spent 4 days in Hungary, a conservative country criticised by elites across the West. I saw no crime. No homeless people. No riots. No unrest. No drugs. No mass immigration. No broken borders. No self-loathing. No chaos. And now I've just landed back in the UK.
I was once in Hungary, for about a week, and 24 years ago (2001). I never went to Budapest, and travelled from the Romanian frontier to the Austrian frontier (which was then also the EU frontier), staying at Szeged (a pleasant town on the river Tisza) and then in a former Soviet-style “sanatorium” (hotel) by Lake Balaton, where my wife and I had a suite with its own external staircase to the lawned gardens which ran down to the lake, in which I was able to swim.
There was a small bust of Lenin in the bar (in the days of socialist rule, pre-1990, there may or may not have been a bar, but there was in 2001).
I liked what I saw of Hungary: civilized, and the people, the ones I met, reliable and decent.

They will use these riots to vilify the emerging anti-immigrant consensus and throw the book at everyone.

Not only is there “two-tier policing” in the UK, but there is also two-tier reporting.
I watched a few minutes of a BBC report from a protest in the North of England yesterday evening. The geeky reporter said that he had just been talking to a leader of the “counter-protest” (unnamed, and not described, other than as said; may have been non-white, Jewish, or an English anarchist or Communist, we do not know), who had given his view. Needless to say, the unverified, anonymously-provided information provided by the said “leader of the counter-protest” was neither challenged by the BBC reporter nor balanced by any view from the English protesters. Typical.
Suddenly, we hear the mouthpieces of “the usual suspects” (e.g. Priti Patel, John Woodcock/”Lord Walney” etc) demanding the recall of Parliament.
Is this Starmer-Labour’s “Reichstag Fire” moment, when very repressive laws and/or “temporary” “measures” will be enacted by Starmer at the behest of (((those behind Starmer))), thus enabling a real police state (modelled on, inter alia, the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic regulations) to come into being?

Fanatical loonie Jew-Zionist Lee Kern describes England, or Britain, or the UK, as a “shithole”. He was, I think, born here, brought up here, and worked here, but has as little real connection with our country as some untermensch straight off a rubber boat on the beaches of Kent.
I saw the same phenomenon, though couched rather more politely (surprisingly) when the egregious lawyer, Mark Lewis, abandoned the UK for Israel (he is still returning from time to time to make money, though); that was in 2018, after he was found guilty in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal.
As for “sense of purpose” in Israel, its only sense of purpose has to do with its losing struggle to survive. I do not know how long the Israeli state can survive, but former heads of MOSSAD and Shin Beth seem pessimistic about it. Arab populations increasing, Israeli population static; nuclear weapons being developed in Iran; conventional heavy weapons being developed in states around Israel.
Wait till Iran kicks off he then will be running on holiday all the time. He won't know what to do….its all going to kick off…..everywhere..concerning times…..
Well said, they are draining resources that are already at breaking point, our population is suffering because what was meant to be our safety net has become theirs, while natives suffer.
“It is true that we have a severe illegal immigration problem, it is true that it is costing the taxpayers billions, it is true that some awful crimes have been committed by these and asylum seekers, it is true that thousands of Hospitality jobs have been lost by housing them in hotels, it is true that social housing is being depleted by this problem. If you’re trying to shut down accounts that highlight that, you’re not for free speech, you’re an authoritarian nut case.“

The pro-immigration types have always liked the British people to assume either that migration(-invasion) is cost-free, or that it actually benefits the UK. It’s rubbish. The overall costs are enormous.

I have, for a number of months, if not longer, raised concerns about Starmer, who always reminds me of Khrushchev’s view of Malenkov, i.e. that Malenkov was a “file-clerk type; such people should never be given power, and are dangerous” [see https://www.amazon.co.uk/Khrushchev-Remembers-Nikita-Sergeevich/dp/0316831409].
Look at Starmer. His first crisis as Prime Minister, and what does he do? He retreats to his “legal people” comfort zone. He does not even attempt to unite a country being pulled in different directions by centrifugal forces, as a real leader would.
Starmer threatens new repressive powers, “night courts”, no bail for accused persons (which is beyond his lawful power anyway), prison sentences (ditto). He supports, basically, one side, or rather is against one side, the British side, if you like.
Starmer’s attempt to create fear, eg among those on social media, has had some effect, not on the “bottle-throwers” but on entirely decent English people, many of at least middle-age, who have deleted tweets (often saying simply that they have been labelled “thugs” by Starmer).
Meanwhile, the brainless police have been shown on Twitter/X “bravely” kicking in the door of a lone woman who attended a protest. What else, if anything, did she do? If the police behave like a poundland KGB or Stasi, then public respect for them will (further) plummet.
Well, here we are, one month and one day into the Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship.
Oh, and another few hundred, or thousand, migrant-invaders will have crossed the Channel today, ferried in by Border Force and the RNLI (and another thousand —or possibly three thousand— “legal migrants” will have entered the UK via ferries and airliners).
Hey @Keir_Starmer You label me “Far Right” because I am disgusted by the state of the UK.
I have done more for this country than you and your crooked MP mates have EVER done and I no longer want to live here anymore!
In England Child grooming gang members from Rochdale are walking free, but the government has sent the police to arrest a man for comments made on Facebook. This is #TwoTierPolicing. Things might get much worse if the system doesn't change. #ukprotest#mondaythoughtshttps://t.co/Y4pm2UZQqX
Watch that police “officer” in the clip, her smug attitude, hands in pockets, and the whole attitude of both police. Superficially not harsh, but arresting someone who sounds about 80 for comments (no doubt about the ghastly state of this poor country) made on Facebook!
Police state, even if it is (still? so far?) a “velvet glove” one most of the time.
I think that the time has come, inter alia, for me to share with my dear readers an event that happened at least a month ago. About 5 or 6 weeks ago.
Mid-evening after a warm day. I think a Saturday. Not sure. About 2030. Knock at door. Uniformed policeman there. Had never seen him previously. “Hello, what’s the problem?“; to which he answers “why would there be a problem?“, at which I have to politely explain that my wife and I do not have the police at our door every day…
It turns out that I am being questioned (and filmed on bodycam) for tweets made on Twitter/X. I am told right from the start that “there is no need to worry“, because the matter had “already been NFA’d“, meaning “No Further Action”.
I was too surprised by being buttonholed to ask why, in that case, a policeman had once again come to my door (not that exact policeman, but in the past decade, several real police and/or joke “PCSO” fake police).
The policeman showed me a kind of photostat or copy of what might have been a tweet, but he objected when I tried to take or (as my wife says I always do) snatch the paper to look at it properly (once a barrister, always a barrister…).
The heading seemed to be something like “Ian#IStandWithCorbyn“
Anyway…I told the police that I had actually not had a Twitter/X account, nor tweeted anything at all, for about six years, since 2018, when a pack of Jews (I diplomatically put it as “a Jewish organization“) had complained about me to —pre-Elon Musk— Twitter, as a result of which Twitter had shut down my account permanently (and that I had never bothered to reinstate the account).
After that, the policeman, absurdly, would not let me examine the tweet or tweets, on the basis that the material would be confidential if not mine (why, if the tweet was public anyway?). The police today need a Franz Kafka to chronicle their absurd rules and protocols.
Anyway, after that, and a joke or two (from me), the policeman thanked me and departed stage left (not pursued by a bear, sadly).
So the police can send someone over a claimed tweet allegedly by me, which tweet had already been marked as “NFA” but, when a wheel was stolen from my car about 18 months ago, they did absolutely nothing. Useless.
I was too surprised to ask why they thought that the “Ian” of the tweet (if he even exists) was thought to have been me. Do the police think that no-one else in the UK is called Ian? God knows.
No wonder crime is flourishing, when the police seem to be uninterested in, and indeed incapable of doing, their proper job, yet take seriously malicious complaints from (((the usual suspects))) about supposed comments on Twitter/X, Facebook etc.
Who would best chronicle the way Britain now is— Franz Kafka, or Lewis Carroll?

🇬🇧 A tense standoff in Plymouth, England this evening between open border activists and anti-immigration protesters.
Plymouth now. I think Royal Parade, one of the main streets, near to Armada Way, where I often, in the years 2002-2007, used to appear as Counsel in front of a varied group of judges at the Plymouth County Court.
Plymouth could be a great city, but isn’t. Badly-run for decades, basically.
As to the protests generally, BBC News dragged out Brendan Cox, the sex-pest of years ago, whose MP wife was assassinated. Cox was at one time getting hundreds of thousands a year from charities for his salaried work. One of the “favoured” of the present System set-up and its msm. One of the Prominente favoured by the multikulti msm, if you like.
Why does that person have any locus standi at all to discuss, or lay down, what does or does not constitute “legitimate” free speech?

Quite. Just like would-be tyrant-woman Yvette Cooper, who even had the gall to say that British families should allow migrant-invaders to stay in their homes. Needless to say, she and her equally-expenses-cheating husband, Ed Balls (who together own several houses and flats) are not accommodating any migrant-invaders.
BBC website is still banging on about 'far right thuggery' in Plymouth, where there's about 4 people and a dog just standing about. Nothing about this at all. I agree with you, it's time someone does the right thing and speaks up.
Fear? Think how many Muslims there now are in the UK (England especially). Nearly 4 million. Most are quiescent most of the time but, if inflamed by their own leaders, and/or by pro-active policing, and if organized (even locally) they could easily take down both the police and the now-very-depleted Army. Think about it.
English people are generally not organized when it comes to political protesting. Usually easily-controlled by the authorities.
Stop saying "far right thugs" Say violent offenders on ALL sides Stop talking only about mosques Say you support ALL communities Stop dwelling on "misinformation" Say immigration concern is REAL Stop talking about making ppl safe Say you'll actually control borders Stop denying…
In a sense, the migration-invasion of the UK (and Europe generally) is the tsunami overshadowing the smaller events under it (such as the present urban upheavals in England).
The new and rubbish “Labour”-label Government talks a hard game, but behind that, the migration-invasion continues unchecked, unabated. Sooner or later, this society will break, whatever political pygmies of the Yvette Cooper and Starmer type may say (or do).
Reminds me of the last days of the German Reich, with Hitler and the generals of the OKW (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht—German High Command) moving wooden plaques, representing SS-Panzer and other forces, mostly by then non-existent, across huge maps, while, not so far away, the enormous Soviet armies advance relentlessly, ever closer to Berlin.

The last 2 days have seen pointless arguments: “was the killer at Southport Muslim or not?” (not, it seems), and “was the killer at Southport ‘British’ or not?” (no, not in the world of reality, but he was born in the UK to Africans). Also, “were the rioters in Leeds Muslim?” (no, Roma Gypsies). All a stupid and pointless media and social media circus.
Anyway, comment about the specific Southport perpetrator must now be limited by reason of someone having been charged and arraigned.
What really matters is the big picture— the failure of “multicultural” Britain. The fact that only 80% of the inhabitants of these islands are now white European, let alone British. Even in 1989 it was about 93%, and in the 1960s at least 95%.
In England specifically, well below that 80% figure, and in the big cities far far below.
“Foreign-born” is not a very accurate measure anyway. As we have seen, many non-whites are born in the UK, but more than that many non-whites are not only born in the UK, but are born to parents themselves born in the UK.
Disastrous for Britain’s future, including its near-future.
Statistics are being misapplied, and falsified anyway.
Just look around you.
What we are looking at is the upcoming slow collapse of what is still a semi-civilized society in the UK. It has already started to crack and distort.
In cahoots with the MSM who could easily have mentioned Leeds or Manchester airport. We are being gaslighted by the government, the police, and the MSM. It’s absolutely frightening.

One of the basic problems facing the UK is the sheer lack of competence of many, not in the realm of the tradespeople (plumbers, carpenters, electricians etc); they are almost always very good, in my experience, but in the realm of often highly-paid but more often useless persons such as politicians generally (from local councillors to MPs, Ministers of State, Secretaries of State, Prime Ministers). That also applies to many partners of City of London law firms and others, such as msm talking heads.

There was a time when even in low paid work you could still get by and mass immigration changed that and it became a race to the bottom. In any case the tipping point has been passed and your side has won so why the continued crying.

It is not about material wealth. You don’t get it. We see that.
Most of Britain’s current problems are caused or made far worse by the mass immigration, aka migration invasion, which took place on a limited scale from the 1950s but increased hugely (along with births to immigrants) in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, becoming an apparently uncontrollable flood after Blair’s (meaning the international conspiracy’s) deliberate policy choices from 1997; and then on to the past decade, when that flood became a devastating tsunami, which continues daily.

I am totally against any strikes in the NHS, but they are not the cause of its malaise. That is inherent, systemic, and to do with the whole structure, with very poor management and administration, and with resources (both the quantum of resources available and also the priorities as to allocation).
Total losses of Ukrainian soldiers per day are approx 1,745. Australian Govt support throwing more (young and old) men and women into the meatgrinder until the last Ukrainian. Australia Govt along with NATO and allies support escalating , the threat a Nuclear War is real.
If that 1,750 figure is accurate, within the next 3 months Ukraine (Kiev regime) forces will have lost about another ~170,000 troops killed or (?) wounded.
Not only are Ukrainian losses existential in terms of the north-east and other fronts, but existential in terms of the demographic future of Ukraine itself.
A quarter of the pre-war Ukraine population comprises Russian or Russian-speaking people, mostly living in the provinces now under Russian rule.
Another quarter of the pre-war population has gone beyond the borders of Ukraine to the west— Poland, Germany, France, UK etc.
That leaves about 20M people living in Western Ukraine and other areas not under Russian occupation, so about 10M male persons. If 500,000-1M are being lost per year (and so not having children), well, do the maths, as they say.
I will be making an Emergency General Election announcement at 4pm today.
Either Farage is going to stab Reform UK in the back (as per Brexit Party), or he is going to announce his candidature in a possibly winnable seat. I should imagine more likely the latter.
If (big if) Farage can win a seat for himself, he may (another big if) drag in a couple of Reform MPs with him.
Two or three MPs may not be many, but if (another “unknown”) the Con Party were to be reduced to small double figures, it is not impossible that, between 2024 and 2029, a merger or coalition might take place which (Farage may hope) might find more traction in the country.
Personally, I am social-national in ideology, so Farage’s mixture of loud pseudo-nationalism and pseudo-“libertarianism” does not appeal to me at all, but I could imagine quite a few voters going for it once Labour falls flat, which will not take long. How many voters might go for it? That probably depends on presentation, as much as anything. Who knows? Farage might become the leader of the said Reform-Con coalition, if Reform can increase its membership (and MP cadre) substantially after GE 2024.
As it now exists, I cannot see the Con Party reviving. How could it? On what basis? Starmer intends to give 16 and 17 y-o people the vote; also, the non-white population is increasing its proportion of the population, rapidly.
I tend to think that all of this might not be settled by elections anyway. We shall see.

Farage has chosen the right place and right moment. The age and race demographics are right in what is said to be an archetypal “left behind” British coastal area. All the same, this will not be so easy for Farage.
The MP 2017-2024, and who is standing again for the Con Party, is one Giles Watling, apparently well-known in the 1970s/1980s on British TV and in the theatre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giles_Watling. He is now 71.
In 2019, the Con Party scored 72.3% at Clacton (Lab 15.5%; LibDems 5.8%). Perhaps surprisingly, no UKIP/Brexit Party type candidate stood, and there was no social-national candidate either. In 2017, there was a UKIP candidate who got 7.6%, but of course UKIP was already washed-up by then.

The area has experienced a considerable influx of White British families from multicultural areas of East London such as Barking and Dagenham, leading to the town of Clacton becoming known as “Little Dagenham”.” [Wikipedia]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clacton_(UK_Parliament_constituency).
This will be a straight fight between Reform UK and the Conservative Party.
It may be that people who quite like Watling’s near-UKIP views may yet switch to Farage, who has the advantage of probably being better-known in Clacton than the man who has been the actual MP for 7 years.
If people want to hit out at the Conservative Party, then, in Clacton, the only way to do that is to vote Reform UK, because Labour and the LibDems have no chance whatever.
In fact, the only way for Labour and LibDem voters in Clacton (evencombined, only 21% of the votes in 2019, and about 27% in 2017) to beat the Conservative Party is to vote tactically for Farage and Reform UK. How many will be willing to do that is unknown.
Farage must have a good chance, despite on paper having a steep hill to climb.

Should Shapps lose his seat (Welwyn Hatfield, in the Hertfordshire “Borshch Belt”), he could always go to fight for his beloved Israel, after having been an infiltrator in the UK for so many years. He has now had 9 months posing as Secretary of State for Defence (in the UK). Maybe the Israelis, notoriously hard-nosed and realistically unsentimental in military matters, would at least make him a part-time corporal, and get him patrolling Jewish settlements in some arid part of occupied Palestine.
Clacton was always a no-brainer for Nigel Farage. It has Reform-friendly demographics, a long history of voting UKIP + outsiders, Farage & his team know it like back of hand, he can run through middle of Lab/Con & he won't have done it unless seat poll showed it was possible

Good grief.
Many attempts have been made to conquer that region: Alexandrine Greeks under Alexander the Great (4th Century B.C.), the troops of the British Empire (19thC A.D.), the armies of the Soviet Union (1980s), and the armies of the Western alliance (2001-2021). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan#History.
According to my use of Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that works out as leaving the Con Party with about 42 MPs (Labour 518; LibDems 49; SNP 18; Plaid Cymru 3; Greens 2; Northern Irish seats 18).
Were that to happen, the LibDems would be the official Opposition, and the UK would be under what is already looking like being a Labour Party “elected dictatorship” for 5 years at least.
Little hope for our natural world with mass immigration and huge population growth on a fairly small land mass like Great Britain. Your ilk are nature's enemies.

In my pre-polling day look at the by-election, I picked Galloway (“Workers Party”) as the winner; not very difficult under the circumstances— most journalists also thought that Galloway would win, as did the bookmakers.
Galloway scored 39.7%; oddly enough, exactly the same figure as the understandably poor turnout, which was also 39.7%. In other words, Galloway was elected via the votes of about 15% of the whole eligible electorate.
I went wrong on second place. I thought that Azhar Ali, the disowned Labour candidate, would still manage a second place on the basis that he is local, a councillor, a Pakistani Muslim and, until Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer sacked him, the official candidate of the Labour Party.
In fact, Ali scored only 7.7% and a 4th place. I attribute that largely to his sacking, which means that he will not be the Labour candidate in the upcoming 2024 General Election. Also, to the fact that he climbed down and “apologised” to Starmer and the Israel lobby. In a word, he lost face, badly, by doing that. I presume that his 7.7% reflects a personal vote, mainly.
I also thought, though speculatively, that the LibDems might do rather better than they did, based on their previous (though pre-2015) showings in the constituency, and on their perhaps being a magnet for anti-Government white (English) votes in Rochdale. Not so. Seems that the LibDems are very much a spent force outside a few parts of southern England.
The LibDem vote was only 7%.
The poor turnout sank the LibDem cause in Rochdale. It is pretty clear that the Pakistanis voted but the English/white voters mostly did not. The Pakistani population of the constituency is somewhere in the 30%-40% range. Almost all Pakistanis voted (it can be surmised), but few English/white people bothered.
The Conservative Party candidate never had a chance. This government is as unpopular as any has been in the past century or more, and Rochdale has not elected a Conservative since 1955.
Having said that, the attitude of the candidate cannot have helped. He decided to prioritize his holiday over campaigning, jetting off to the sun only a week or so before Polling Day!
Ellison’s 12% vote (3rd place) is around where my initial thought about the by-election, a couple of weeks ago, put him (I thought maybe 15%), but better than my most recent speculation (a day or two ago, I thought the Con vote might go as low as 5%).
Finally (leaving aside the five candidates who lost their deposit, none scoring higher than 1.7%), there is Reform UK. Oh dear…
As I wrote before the by-election, Reform UK must have been mad to take on Danczuk as its candidate. After all, he was the local Labour MP 2010-2017, who was sacked for various personal behavioural problems, and who then tried to hang on as an Independent, getting an embarrassing 1.8% vote at the 2017 General Election.
The toxic tabloid content of Danczuk’s life 2010-2017 with and around his seriously thick then wife, Karen Danczuk (known as “the selfie queen” for her self-portraits posted online, featuring both her cleavage and her buck teeth), sank him in 2017, and will still be (and obviously was) remembered by the voters of Rochdale.
Danczuk’s 6.3% vote at the by-election is about where I thought he would end up.
In my view, Reform UK has rather too much of the “Mickey Mouse” about it, too much of the “wing and a prayer” “Amateur Night” village show, to be considered a serious party.
The political scientist Matt Goodwin has been pushing the idea that Reform UK might overtake the Conservative Party in the polls. Not yet, it seems.
At Rochdale, the Conservative Party candidate managed to get twice the vote of Danczuk and Reform UK, despite not bothering to campaign much, whereas Danczuk tried hard, and was even supported by his leader, Richard Tice, riding a sky-blue battlebus.
The by-election does say something about Reform UK that goes beyond its very silly decision to put up Danczuk as a candidate. If Reform UK was going to capture the mainly white/English protest vote, this by-election would have been the place for that to take off. White English people are a majority, maybe even two-thirds, of the Rochdale constituency, yet most —probably the vast majority— did not bother to vote, and even fewer voted Reform UK.
Some may say that the above is because English people are apathetic. I say that they are apathetic for a reason, or reasons. One, in this case, was because Reform UK’s semi-“libertarian” offering just does not “hit the spot”. White English people want, though in most cases unconsciously, social nationalism, and there is not one party, even a small one, offering or proclaiming that ideology.
What does the by-election say about the Conservative Party in the run-up to GE 2024? Toast. This was the worst Con Party result (12%) at Rochdale since the Blair-Labour years (10.5% in 2005, 13.4% in 2001, 8.8% in 1997). In 2019, the Cons received 31.2%, and even in 2017 28.4%.
So there it is. Angry apathy from the white English voters, angry protest from the Pakistani Muslims, a Government without hope, but an Opposition Labour Party unable to inspire any enthusiasm yet likely to “win” GE 2024 purely by default. Also, an upstart and supposedly “populist” party, Reform UK, that has no real support.
I have said nothing about the victor, Galloway. That is because he is a maverick and, despite the “Workers Party” label, basically a one-man band. Whether he can retain his seat at GE 2024 or not is an open question. Maybe he can.

95% of the repression on freedom of expression in the UK comes from the organized Jew-Zionist/pro-Israel lobby. I myself face sentencing in a couple of weeks, the malicious Jew-Zionist lobby having procured an entirely political prosecution of me in 2023 (and admit to having been trying to bag me for most of the past decade).

Galloway must be one of the few, one of the very few MPs who can speak in public without either reading pathetic platitudes from a written crib, or sounding like a speak-your-weight machine, or both.
The symptoms of the slowly-encroaching “woke” global (Western) police state (in the UK, in the EU, elsewhere too) are now seen everywhere; they include my own Jewish-lobby-procured political prosecution and conviction last year (sentencing hearing this month).
When you look at why Simon Danczuk fell from grace, running on a grooming platform was not the best idea. It says everything about Tice's judgement. Especially when, standing as an independent in 2017, Danczuk won a mere 883 votes. He was a lame duck out of the starting gate. (do…
I agree with that. I have no idea what Tice is like as a businessman, though I note that his main work was in a company founded by his grandfather. As a politician, I have no doubt that he is “nbg” (no bloody good). As I blogged some time before the by-election, Tice’s selection of someone as sleazy as Simon Danczuk was a miscall of stunning proportions. As in…you run a “populist”, “new broom”, “clean the Augean Stables” party, so naturally you pick as your candidate someone who was not only sleazy in the sexual sense when an MP but also a grifting freeloader and moneygrubber. An example of the worst of the old parties. No, wait…
How does that work? It doesn’t.
If Tice’s judgment is in question for having, inter alia, picked Danczuk as a candidate, then that, and the by-election result, also brings into question the judgment of political academic, scribbler and blogger Matt Goodwin, who has been boosting Reform UK as a possibly-unstoppable coming political force in the land. Ha…

Unconfirmed reports are saying that Sam Melia of Patriotic Alternative has been sentenced in the Crown Court to 2 years in prison for supposed “incitement to racial hatred”.
I did not follow the trial, but I understand that the charge or charges related to the production of (from the little I have read) very innocuously-worded stickers. “Evidence” deemed admissible (presumably going to the Defendant’s intention) included having a picture of Hitler.
The Star Chamber would be proud of England’s 21st Century police, CPS, and judiciary.
As we know, in 2024 Britain, political crime is deemed far more serious than real crime. In a country where crimes of serious violence, or considerable and dishonest acquisition, result often in non-custodial sentences, Sam Melia will now spend about a year in prison basically for having offended or opposed the System and “the usual suspects”.
I have no idea as to whether the plight of his wife, Laura Towler, and their very young child, was taken into account. Seemingly not, or not much. I understand that Laura Towler is presently pregnant with a second child, which will now be born (in the next couple of months) while its father is incarcerated.
I hope that a crowdfunder is soon set up for Melia’s wife and children.
“A huge crowd”? At a guess, 5,000. Maybe, at peak, 10,000.
Russia has ~143M people, so even 10,000 represents only 1 person in every 14,300. Out of the Moscow population of 13M, 1 person out of every 1,300. Somewhere between those two figures, then. 1 person out of every 1,300-14,300 people.
Of course, the authorities have tried to suppress visible support for Navalny, but even if the true figure is 1 out of every 1,300, and even if there are 20 secret supporters for every one on that march, that is still only, at best, 1 out of every 65 inhabitants of Moscow.
Whatever one’s view of Navalny, his percentage of even mild support was in single figures. Maybe 2%, maybe as high as 5%, of the Moscow population; probably no more than 1%, if that, among the whole population of Russia.
Thousands of supporters of #Navalny gathered for his memorial service and funeral in #Moscow despite #Kremlin warnings and a heavy police presence.

That film shows a seemingly larger crowd, but even if my calculations are out by a factor of 10, that would still show a visible and covert ratio of 1 Navalny supporter out of every 6 or 7 people. Significant but not overwhelming.
Anyway, such speculation is a castle in the air in the circumstances.

Mason again. His “political philosophy” comes down to two words: “arrest them“. Nothing more. Neither a socialist nor a pro-capitalist, nor yet anything other than someone cobbling together disparate strands to make one jumbled string of pseudo-philosophy which really comes down to the exercise of State power by those who control it, and against any dissidents or dissenters.

“Left”/”Right” are terms I never myself use. Not helpful or meaningful. Look at Mason, though, playing the role of “licensed revolutionary”. The police seem uninterested in talking to him about any inflammatory outbursts…

Peter Oborne mentions almost every group but the Jewish lobby; not even “Zionists”; only “Israel”. I can only imagine (joking slightly) that he is afraid of being blackballed by one of his clubs (the Garrick? I am only guessing).
Slightly disappointing by Oborne, who has in the past made interesting anti-Israel lobby documentaries: see
What (((group))) is behind Starmer? What group is behind Sunak? What group is behind “Reform UK”, Farage, Tice etc? Yes, the Israel lobby, but of what (in the UK) is that composed?…
In some ways, Oborne’s 15-minute tweet above is very hardhitting, but it pulls a few punches when it comes to “a certain group” in UK society.
Oborne refers to the danger of the “far right” etc. In fact, any danger is actually from the two superficially opposed groups— Islamists/Zionists.
Announcement from Laura Towler
I happened to see the message below, believed to be a public announcement from Laura Towler of Patriotic Alternative:
“By now you will have heard that my husband Sam Melia was sentenced today to two years in prison for his intentions behind publishing stickers that the prosecution said were both lawful and truthful.
The sentencing guidelines gave the judge the option of choosing anywhere between 2 years and 6 years, and the minimum was given due to the lack of seriousness regarding the offence. The judge could’ve suspended the sentence (and sent Sam home) at two years, however he chose not to and said the reason why was because he wanted the sentencing to act as a deterrent to other people with the same beliefs.
Before today, Sam met with his Probation Officer who said that Sam was no risk to the public and there was no chance of reoffending, and recommended a community order. The judge chose to ignore this.
The worst case scenario is that Sam will serve 12 months in prison. Potentially, he could serve 6 – 8 months. He is considered low risk and could therefore be on day release from as early as in a few months.
If you take anything from this, let it remind you why we do what we do. We live in a country where our people are attacked by the anti-White state for advocating for their own safety and interests.
I don’t want cuddles and condolences. I don’t want thoughts and prayers. I want you to join me in filling the void that Sam leaves for the next few months. There are no excuses. Not everybody has to be on the front line. There is plenty you can do behind the scenes.
Sam should hold his head up high knowing that he put his head above the parapet when many others dare not. He didn’t back down at any point over the last three years, nor did he take any offer they offered him. He remained defiant for us, and now it’s our turn to repay his sacrifice by carrying his flame until he is back.“
[unconfirmed, but believed to be by Laura Towler]
Another example of how the British jury is now little better than a rubber stamp. As for the judge in question, I prefer not to comment, mainly because I have no wish to transgress the “contempt of Court” rules; in any case, I did not follow the case. There is also the further fact that I myself, in Biblical language, will be “in the same condemnation” in a couple of weeks, being sentenced for —in effect— telling the truth.
“Rishi Sunak has claimed extremist groups in the UK are “trying to tear us apart”, in a hastily arranged Downing Street statement that came hours after George Galloway won a byelection in Rochdale.
Standing outside No 10 late on Friday, the prime minister condemned what he called “a shocking increase in extremist disruption and criminality” after the 7 October massacre by Hamas and the Israeli invasion of Gaza.
He also claimed democracy itself was a target, as he condemned the election of Galloway, who easily won the seat in Rochdale on a platform that focused on anti-Israel sentiment over Gaza.
However, in a sometimes rambling and seemingly contradictory 10-minute address, Sunak made points likely to anger MPs on the right of the Conservative party such as Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick, who have sought to frame recent tensions as almost entirely the responsibility of Islamist extremists.
Sunak was at pains to stress the recent abuse of Muslim Britons as well as the Jewish community, and to highlight the threat from far-right groups as well as Islamists.“
[The Guardian]
The little Indian money-juggler presently posing as Prime Minister has made a speech in which he conflated “democracy” with “electing System candidates”, in effect.
Sunak calls for no support for “extremism”, yet he does not seem to think it “extreme” to project the Israeli flag onto 10 Downing Street and then to call for support of a war by a huge mechanized army against, mostly, civilians, half of which are under 18 years of age, and about a quarter of whom are undisputedly small children and babies.
So far, the Israeli Jews have killed about 30,000 or so in Gaza, in under 5 months. About half were children.
Starmer, that nasty ideas-free puppet bureaucrat, is no better.
Incidentally, I myself have blogged about both “democracy” and “extremism” in recent years:
