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

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

I think that that poster is already out of date.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

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

What goes around comes around“.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

More tweets

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

Evening tweets

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A sinister tribe.

A very sinister tribe.

Jesus H. Christ! What a total crazie!

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

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

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

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

[“In the last 10 days, I’ve spoken to people in Birmingham, Eastleigh, Bognor Regis, Bexley, Wearside, Southend, & Halifax. I am telling you Westminster has no idea what’s coming. The hardworking, tax-paying, law-abiding, forgotten majority has had enough of what is happening to their country. I’ve never felt energy like this. It’s bigger than Brexit.“]

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

Talking point

An opinion poll that should be perused closely by, inter alia, the police (including Hampshire Police, Gloucestershire Police, and Essex Police), and the “Clown” Prosecution Service, among other bodies.

I republish some of my own relevant experiences below:

Talking point

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-14385273/genz-dictator-democracy-starmer-trump.html

Britain’s in decline. Democracy has lost its way. Yes, many would squeal – but it’s no wonder so many of my generation believe it’s time for a dictator: CHARLIE DOWNES offers a provocative view.

Young people in the UK – born, like me, in the 21st century – are constantly told how lucky we are to have ‘freedom’.

To our parents and grandparents, steeped in the baggage of the Second World War, ‘freedom’ is the ultimate democratic right. 

But many in Generation Z can see that our ‘free’ society has degenerated into instability and uncertainty. 

If ‘freedom’ means being unable to afford a home, to live in overcrowded and overpriced rented accommodation, to work soulless jobs in order to pay sky-high taxes, and to have no sense of belonging or identity, perhaps freedom is not what we need.

So it’s no shock to read that a recent survey commissioned by Channel 4 found that 52 per cent of Britons aged 13 to 27 have lost faith in democracy and would welcome a dictator – a strong leader ‘who does not have to bother with parliament and elections’. 

A third of my generation believe ‘the UK would be a better place if the Army was in charge’. 

Other polls have found that many of us are likely to back the death penalty, while a Mail on Sunday survey this week found that two-thirds of us favour castrating sex offenders.

These reports have caused much alarm among liberal commentators – for whom democracy and the social contract are sacrosanct. 

They don’t want to face the brutal truth that the social contract has been ripped up by a political class that has long refused to put the interests of ordinary British people first, or to deliver on our repeatedly expressed wishes at the ballot box – on immigration, crime, tax and much else.

Drug use, shoplifting and defrauding the state go unpunished. Millions of economically burdensome migrants from places and cultures vastly different from our own are invited in, housed and fed at our expense – and we are attacked and slurred as bigots if we complain.

As for democracy, it’s obvious from the visible decline in our country – which worsened after the 2008 financial crash and which has accelerated under Keir Starmer – that it isn’t delivering the right results.

Our supposed parliamentary rule is either an illusion, an anachronism or, if it does exist, clearly not fit for purpose.

After Labour’s landslide win last summer, it rapidly dawned on many of us who had voted for the first time that we were essentially politically impotent.

Britain is crying out for leadership that can steer the country to safety.

Gen Z’s demands are not unreasonable: fairer taxes, affordable homes, cheaper energy and an end to unlimited immigration. 

We ask that everyone contributes their fair share and that crime is properly punished.

We want to trust our neighbours, and talk to them in our own language. We want a sense of identity and belonging.

Which is why, I believe, we now need decisive action: a leader who would declare a state of emergency in response to illegal migration.

Without a strong leader who can reverse deindustrialisation, neoliberal economic policy and mass immigration, our country seems condemned to a future of being riddled with crime, political strife and social unrest.

Yet perhaps, out of this ongoing catastrophe, renewal will come. 

History, after all, has a way of throwing up great men or women when the hour calls for them.

…young people in particular recognise that political leaders of all parties have made an abysmal mess of running things. No wonder so many believe it’s time for a radical alternative.

It sounds drastic – because it is drastic. 

But otherwise we all face the continued rule of grey, miserable politicians with grey, miserable ideas, dragging us towards disaster. 

And Gen Z will not tolerate that much longer.

[Charlie Downes, writing in the Daily Mail]

The author seems to be about 24, and possibly a member or supporter of Reform UK: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cfdownes.

Where to start? Firstly, “freedom” and “democracy” are not the same concept or even similar concepts. The linkage, though it exists, is loose.

I examined the idea of democracy some years ago on the blog:

Of course, if people lack shelter, clothing, warmth, food, other needs and/or wants, then “freedom”, let alone the existing form of supposed “democracy”, will not seem of the most pressing importance.

One has to wonder why the Daily Mail is allowing such views, those of this Charlie Downes, to be blasted so explosively on its pages. It seems to me that the main reason is that the Conservative Party is as good as dead among the vast majority of the electorate, and the Labour Party is in a similar condition except that it is still psychologically embedded in the mentality of the voters of much of the North of England and, also, most of the blacks and browns vote Labour en masse, and they are now 20% of the whole electorate, much more in the great cities.

Labour support among white people (the people formerly known as British) is no more than about 10% (at most), in reality. Maybe only 5%.

The Daily Mail’s owners, and others, now look for a party neither socialist nor national socialist/social nationalist but which may capture mass support. Reform UK.

A quasi-dictatorial period may be necessary in the UK, but only if the policies are those I have promulgated on the blog over the past 8 years. Basically social national policies. Anything else is useless and wrongheaded.

This country is just mad now. Also, can you imagine how much this Tuckett person must get, not only in salary but also in generous expenses if he can travel weekly, or more often, from his home in Finland to London? All that might even be acceptable…were he and his office(s) of any use whatsoever.

Before us, I see two possible futures: One where the United Kingdom is remembered as a cautionary tale — the lone state that took the doctrine of modern liberalism (mass immigration, social egalitarianism, net zero) to its logical conclusion, and descended into poverty, social unrest, ethnoreligious balkanisation, and civil war. Britain gave birth to liberalism, after all, so in a way this would be quite a fitting end. The other is one in which a new, daring elite forgoes all niceties and brings order to the British Isles. Perhaps we are seen as a pariah state for a while, having gone to war with modern liberalism — but when all is said and done, our nation is secure. I know which one I prefer.”

The Conservative Party remains in complete denial. It thinks Reform will soon disappear and voters will forget the Tory years of broken promises and national decline. When will the once great party of Churchill and Thatcher wake up and draft a plan to put its house in order? The country still hasn’t been given even the beginnings of an explanation for why the party failed so comprehensively in the painful years of May, Boris, Truss and Sunak. Losing 251 MPs didn’t do the trick. Reform overtaking the Conservative Party in membership and opinion poll strength hasn’t shaken Badenoch or her throwback shadow cabinet. Even an exodus of donors has provoked little signs of life or resolve. The top tier of the party still thinks they’re the natural party of govt and that Labour unpopularity will eventually restore sense to the vast bulk of former Tory voters. Most Tory commentators are going along with this complacency. The lack of urgency and the modesty of Badenoch’s first 100 days really shocks me. I am beginning to contemplate that the party’s decline might be terminal.

Still clapping? The NHS is now, at best, a skeleton service and with spending cuts and migration-invasion set to continue, will become ever more so.

News from the migration-invasion

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13968409/Asylum-seekers-cases-held-Tory-permission-Labour.html

Almost 63,000 asylum seekers whose cases were placed on hold by the Tories could be granted permission to stay in Britain under Labour.

A report by the Refugee Council predicts a significant increase in granted claims thanks to changes brought in by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.

Of 118,882 asylum seekers who were waiting for a Home Office decision at the general election, 62,801 are likely to secure refugee status here based on current rates, the report said.”

[Daily Mail]

Exactly as I have been predicting for the past couple of years.

Stand by for the next “shock”— Starmer and Yvette Cooper “processing” asylum claims in France or even in Africa and Asia, and “allowing” (rubberstamping) 90%+ to come to the UK, then to claim housing, cash benefits, NHS and other services.

Somewhere down the line there will be a complete collapse of our society, possibly in, or followed by, a social/racial/civil war.

Incidentally, over 14,000 migrant-invaders have used the “small boats” method to arrive here this year, so far. That, though, is only about 5%, if that, of the total of migration to the UK so far this year. Over the whole of 2024, the total will be at least half a million, quite likely more.

I live very close to a small southern Hampshire coastal town, reputedly one of the most affluent in the UK. Over the past decade or so, I first noticed quite a few Chinese appearing in the streets, but at first not many blacks or browns, only the odd one. The proportion of all non-Europeans, compared to (real) British people, has risen inexorably. It is patent, quite visible on the streets, even here. In larger towns and cities, such as Southampton and Bournemouth, let alone London, it is much much worse, and still getting worse.

Sky News is probably, almost certainly, infested by “the usual suspects”…

A slight exaggeration…I would say “only” about 60% even if, by “Israel“, one includes all of “them” worldwide . One must be objective.

There it is. The main Jewish religious text (the Torah, being the first 5 books of the Hebrew Bible, the same as the first 5 books of the Old Testament) is about twice as violent, even on a superficial view, as the main texts of both Islam and Christianity.

That is even before any consideration is given to the Jewish Talmud: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talmud.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talmud#Criticism.

There’s “cuck”, and then there’s Scandinavian fake “liberalism” and self-hatred. A whole new level of national and personal suicide. Pathetic…

Sadder yet, there were signs that the UK was going the same way, but I have sensed, in the past few months, that the tide may be turning.

Talking point

[abandoned steam locomotive in Mozambique; looks as though the grass is cut, though]

Much of Africa had functioning railways when Europeans ruled. Few of those lines are left (mostly in South Africa, but some elsewhere too). Some new lines are planned.

I myself have only travelled once on African rail but that was, again, under white European rule, in 1977, travelling from Bulawayo, Rhodesia (now “Zimbabwe”) to Gaborone in Botswana, an overnight journey that started just after midday, around 1300 hrs, at Bulawayo, and finished at seven-thirty the following morning at Gaborone. About 18 hours. The train then continued on into South Africa, finishing either at Ladysmith or Mafeking (I forget). That would have been inconvenient to me, so I hopped off in Botswana.

Fortunately, the train was not hit en route (as it had been several times previously) by rocket or small arms fire from African terrorists/guerrillas/”freedom fighters” in the Rhodesia-Botswana border area (take your pick as to designation), the Rhodesian Bush War being at or near its height at the time.

Actually, thinking about it, I did later travel three or four times more by rail in Africa: a couple of times by incredibly slow suburban rail in Alexandria, Egypt, but that was over 20 years later, in 1998: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/03/07/when-i-was-not-arrested-in-egypt/.

Also, a couple of times by very nice airconditioned train in Tunisia, in the mid-1980s.

I do not really think of North Africa as “Africa”, though of course it is, purely geographically.

Incidentally, Mozambique does still have a few rail services running: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozambique_Ports_and_Railways

[main railway station, Maputo (former Lourenco Marques), Mozambique, photographed in 2016; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maputo_Central_Railway_Station]

What would Africa have been like had it remained under European rule? The present situation is very sad from many points of view.

There is now no real rail service at all in Uganda, and not much of one in Kenya: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uganda_Railway; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uganda_Railway#Current_status; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya_Railways_Corporation]

In Sao Paulo, Brazil.

“The power of one” is hugely underestimated and underrated.

Labour has no real intention of stopping the migrant (invader) flow. Au contraire.

No details about the polling, so I am entitled to presume that those figures are simply invented, the “poll” having been released by the globalist and finance-capitalist Policy Exchange “think tank” (lobby group). I should hate to have to conclude that 49% of the people in this country are ignorant morons.

The Commonwealth has been a complete waste of time and money for decades now, in any case.

Even now, the Kiev-regime front is crumbling, with Russian forces advancing on all sectors of the active front, and the Kiev regime struggling to find enough soldiers (many with as little as 6 weeks’ training) to plug the gaps. Untold thousands are evading or avoiding the draft, and brutal press-gangs are scouring the cities and towns.

This latest move could be a game-changer. The Koreans are tough, the North Koreans maybe even more so than those in the South.

I recall that, in 1984, when I was a taekwando beginner, I watched a film about South Korea’s advanced taekwando training academy, a modern white-painted concrete-and-glass building out in the Korean countryside. That film started with a contingent of trainees, all neat, none looking hot or sweaty, and all in white costume with black belts, jogging in perfect formation. The voiceover explained that the students had just finished a 10-mile run, and that all students at that academy were already of at least basic black belt standard when they started at the academy.

I wonder where Putin and the Stavka (Russian high command) will deploy those Korean troops. Clausewitz would seem to indicate that they be kept together rather than dispersed, thus forming a spearhead force that, concentrated on one area of the front, might be able to create a Schwerpunkt breakthrough.

Europe is now infested by migrant-invaders, among others.

The reasons for this latest injustice are, of course, obvious.

Firstly, Huw Edwards is a member of the System msm/political/talking head/scribbler club. Pro-migration invasion, pro-multikulti, pro-System, pro-Israel (probably), pro-Jew-lobby (almost certainly), pro-LGBTXYZ, pro-“trans” nonsense, and so on.

The lady sentenced to an incredibly harsh 31 months for an understandable (if unwise) tweet or whatever is not a member of that “club”. She is “just” a wife and (to use the very good American word) homemaker. A normal citizen, in short.

The System protects its own, such as Huw Edwards; ordinary citizens are treated like trash.

Secondly, Huw Edwards was guilty of a non-political offence. In the new sub-Stalinist Britain, socio-political “crimes” such as posting the “wrong sort of” tweet, or criticizing the Jewish lobby, or the migration invasion, are treated far more harshly than “real” crimes, non-political crimes.

Lucy Connolly has been treated harshly because of, and, in my opinion only because of, those two factors.

There was no evidence that any of the actual protesters or “rioters” were influenced by, or even saw, her tweet and/or her WhatsApp message (though that need not be proven to make out the offence). Still, those facts should surely mitigate sentence.

I have two or three further thoughts about the matter: firstly, that her husband or someone else should set up a GoFundMe or other crowdfunder for her; secondly, that she should have pleaded Not Guilty. She may well have been lucky in her jury.

It might also be worth her while to consider an appeal on sentence (alone).

As it is, 40% of 31 months translates to about 12 months and 1 week actually in prison. I believe that I read at the time of her arraignment that she was remanded in custody prior to sentence. That was sometime in August of this year, so she has already been in prison for —I think— over 2 months. That should mean that she can expect release within about 10 months. Still very harsh, in my view.

The sentencing judge (a Recorder, i.e. p/t judge, and barrister) apparently made the ridiculous remark today that “It is [a/the] strength of our society that it is both diverse and inclusive.” Does he really and honestly believe that?!

Incidentally, reading now the Evening Standard report published today [https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/tory-councillors-wife-lucy-connolly-jailed-for-31-months-for-inciting-race-hatred-b1188513.html], I see that “In a separate prosecution, father-of-three Tyler Kay was jailed for 38 months for re-posting part of Connolly’s offending message. The 26-year-old, of Ellfield Court, Northampton, admitted a charge of publishing material intended to stir up racial hatred.”

[Evening Standard]

So another person has received a harsher yet sentence for merely having reposted part of one of Mrs. Connolly’s messages.

I have to say that Mrs. Connolly’s husband does not strike me as being or having been particularly outspoken in her defence, but I suppose that I could be mistaken about him. I should not like to think that his reserved response has anything to do with his pathetic local Conservative Party activity.

The basic conundrum is “what is democracy?“— See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/15/has-parliamentary-democracy-as-we-have-known-it-until-now-had-its-day-in-the-uk/.

Reform UK is a symptom of how angry rather a lot of English people are about the state of the country. Over 4 million votes, over 14% of those voters who voted (i.e. Reform UK was voted for by 1 in 7 voters).

Reform UK got 14.3% of votes, but only 5 MPs.

LibDems? Fewer votes by far than Reform, yet 72 MPs. Ridiculous.

The Conservative Party got 23.7%, little more than one and a half times the number of votes taken by Reform, yet 121 MPs.

Where is the justice, or even logic, in that?

As for the Labour Party, its 33.7% of votes cast represents less than two and a half times the Reform vote, yet it ends up with 411 MPs!

Again, no justice and no logic.

Apparently, Peter Barnes (or Peter C. Barnes) is a UK political campaigns person, who works or has worked for the Conservative Party, and who appears on the “no-one watches” Talk TV and the “almost no-one watches” GB News television outlets.

Seems that Barnes blames Reform UK for Labour’s faux “landslide” (procured by a mere 33.7% of votes cast, i.e. about 20% of all potential votes), and via an electoral system patently not fit for purpose.

In reality, the blame for the Starmer-Labour victory should be placed, first and foremost, with a succession of supposedly “Conservative” governments over the past 14 years, headed by no less than 5 Conservative Party prime ministers who all turned out to be complete deadheads.

Those Conservative Party governments presided over the importation of 3-4 MILLION immigrants, mostly non-European, and over the trashing of public services including the libraries, courts, police, district nursing, roads, elder care, social housing; also riverine pollution… you name it.

At present, mass immigration into the UK is somewhere around a million a year. Yes, a few hundred thousand also leave, but most of the leavers are Brit or other European people emigrating to Australasia and elsewhere.

Barnes seems to think that, had Reform UK not existed, all or most of its voters would have voted Con, thus preventing a Labour government, or one with a majority.

First of all, while most 2024 election Reform UK voters would not have voted Labour in those or any circumstances, that does not mean that they would have voted Con. Probably not. More likely, abstention.

Secondly, parties exist for a reason. There now seems little reason for most voters to vote Con. That seems to be lost on Westminster Bubble types such as Barnes (of whom I had not heard until today). Reform UK is the outcome of profound discontent in the depths of the population.

If Labour (as I firmly expect) fails to give the British people what they require, then Reform UK will not only grow in influence, but will also be the least of the problems of the System parties.

Britain needs a real social-national movement.

Cronyism, petty or not so petty corruption and fraud…it’s like the Blair-Brown years all over again.

Building hutches for migrant-invaders.

Not just Muslims in the UK. The Labour “elected” dictatorship will no doubt target any English people unwilling to accept the Zionists.

Rachel Reeves believes in the nationalization of intimidation…

We must be clear: the minority of “activist” blacks and browns want the real British people, the so-called “white British”, to disappear, bred out or otherwise disposed of.

As I predicted. Labour continues the fiction that the problem is “smuggling gangs” etc, when the real problem is the migration invasion itself (both “legal” and “illegal”), and that would be about the same whether or not various types of criminal were making profits from it all.

I also predicted that Labour in government would open “processing centres” in France, approve 95% of applicants (who will then travel on to the UK “legally”, via ferry or air); the TV and newspaper coverage of invaders being ferried to the South Coast ports (via RNLI and Border Force) or beaches (via rubber boats etc) will simply all but stop, but the invasion itself will continue, just invisibly.

Tweeter “@IGMansfield” obviously loves the new “elected” dictatorship of Labour, as it prepares to build over the once “green and pleasant land” so that the invading migrants have a hutch to call their own. No consultation, no appeal, and he loves it.

We often talk about the “enemies of the people”. They now emerge in plain sight. Those who want to trash what is left of this country, whether for profit or for political tendentiousness.

Look at those applauding that tweet (eg below). Not all, or even mostly, any kind of “socialist”:

There is still a small window of opportunity for a party such as Reform UK, or even a genuinely social-national party, to make headway in terms of Commons seats etc. All roads lead to Rome. However, we are getting to the point where ordinary political activity, as per the Reform phenomenon, is not likely to lead to real success, or to triumph.

We are facing an exploding non-European population in the UK, and an upcoming repression on free speech worse than anything so far seen.

Meanwhile, the hordes of “useful idiots” applaud fake “Labour” and love to see government being tyrannical and careless of civil rights (a phenomenon also noted during the 2020-2022 “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic),

Again…

The “enemies of the people”…

Starmer-Labour has little in common with “the party formerly known as Labour”; it is a finance-capitalist project, which poses (and is presented by the msm) as wildly popular because of its Commons “landslide”, when in reality (as examined on the blog over the past few days), it only got 33.7% of the popular vote. Indeed, 40% of the eligible electorate did not vote, so the real support for Starmer-Labour in the country is only about 20%.

This is a WEF government, a ZOG/NWO government, a Labour Friends of Israel government, a Bilderberg government. It has no real validity.

Incidentally, I now know who that tweeter “@IGMansfield” is— a senior figure at the finance-capitalist “think tank” (lobby org), Policy Exchange: https://policyexchange.org.uk/news/new-additions-to-our-expanded-team-at-policy-exchange/.

Starmer-Labour is really just another globalist and finance-capitalist “project” akin to Blair’s “New Labour”, as seen in the many Blair-Brown faces now in government. The myriad new MPs are basically lobby-fodder.

Miliband, who claimed in 2009 at Copenhagen that we had either 3 or 5 years to “save the planet”. Then the planet yawned and everyone, or almost everyone, forgot about the prediction (which was echoed by the then Prince Charles).

Well, now Miliband is back, wanting to cover the countryside in turbines.

I thought that that “@Bushra1Shaikh” Twitter/X account must be some form of satire, but apparently not.

There it is, anyway— the latest batch of migrant-invaders, brought to the UK by one of the government agencies meant to protect our borders from invasion and breach by criminals…

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

The “Bushra Shaikh” person tweeting actually seems to exist for real, albeit on an incredibly low intellectual/educational level.

Just looked her up online. Apparently, she was on the TV show The Apprentice about 7 years ago, in 2017 (fired before the show came to an end). 40-41 years old, a divorced single mother of three children, and a businesswoman of some sort, who sells Muslim clothing.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/07/mouse-secretly-filmed-tidying-mans-shed-every-night

A mouse has been filmed secretly tidying up a man’s shed almost every night for two months.

Wildlife photographer Rodney Holbrook noticed that objects he left out of place were being mysteriously put back where they belonged overnight.

“I couldn’t believe it when I saw that the mouse was tidying up,” Holbrook said.

“He moved all sorts of things into the box, bits of plastic, nuts and bolts. I don’t bother to tidy up now, as I know he will see to it. I leave things out of the box and they put it back in its place by the morning. Ninety-nine times out of 100 the mouse will tidy up throughout the night.

Remarkable. Like something from a fairy tale or one of the Brothers Grimm stories.

I hope that the man leaves the mouse a little bit of cheese or some nuts occasionally.

The study, by the thinktank British Future, projects that the number of ethnic minority MPs is most likely to rise from 65 to as many as 83, with much of this rise expected whatever the actual outcome of the election.

If the number of ethnic minority MPs does reach 75 or more, it will have increased fivefold in a decade and a half, having been just 15 out of 650 in the 2005 to 2010 parliament.

White people (the people formerly termed “British”) are being removed from Parliament too now. What will be the proportion, both in the population and/or in the House of Commons (and the Lords) by 2030, 2040, 2050? Over-representation in Parliament will be plainly obvious, I think.

In any case, this is the British Parliament, and should only have fully British —in every sense— MPs and (so long as the upper house exists) peers.

Worth reading. I have been writing the same, or similar, about the “Atlas Network” (or “Group”) on the blog for years. As always, others are late to the party.

Monbiot somehow leaves out the fact that the sinister Antony Fisher was a fervent Zionist…

What do you expect? Import this or that national or ethnic group, and you import with them their customary behaviours, and it matters not a jot that they or their offspring were born in, say, Southampton rather than Bombay, or that they attended Winchester, or Eton, or Oxford University.

US Treasury Secretary Jeannette Yellen, who is on a visit to China, is criticized for her excessive friendliness, which was expressed in numerous bows at a meeting with her Chinese counterpart.

Diplomatic etiquette experts at The New York Post note that American officials do not bow at all and point out that Chinese Vice Premier He Lifen, to whom Yellen bows glibly, does not respond with a mutual movement. A protocol error that critics will call a sign of America’s weakness.”

How embarrassing for the USA, to be represented by a peculiar and aged Jewish woman who has no idea how to behave. In fact, she looks like a giant chicken. She also looks like she would like to pull off the Chinaman’s hand and keep it as a souvenir.

Ecce “the land of freedom”…

A nice story.

I was tweeting (when I still had a Twitter account) and blogging for years about this scandal, long before most others. Incredible injustice. Cable seems incapable of seeing it, just as he did not want to see the miseries inflicted by the Con Coalition during 2010-2015. Like almost all LibDems, he is a useless waste of space.

I have, though years ago now, also criticized Paula Vennells, that dishonest careerist woman who also posed, at one time, as one of those Church of England “priestesses” of recent decades: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Vennells.

I blogged recently about the fact that useless Skidmore had stepped down as MP before he got binned (his constituency disappears at the 2024 General Election, and no other constituency’s Conservative Party committee wanted him).

Skidmore is thus, as blogged previously, positioning himself to get a job heading some “green” quango or company.

The Rwanda idea will only, even if implemented, deal with only a small fraction of migrant-invaders (on small boats), and none of the hugely-bigger number entering superficially “legally”.

Imagine what it will be like in 2034 (if the state of Israel lasts that long).

Quotation of the day

Human problems aren’t economic. They’re moral and they can’t be solved by immoral measures. They could be solved within a God-controlled democracy, or perhaps I should say a theocracy, and they could be solved through a God-controlled Fascist dictatorship.”

[Frank Buchman, in a 1936 interview]

I suppose that the devil is in the detail. What is “immoral”, in the sense of state policy or implementation? Also, state or political measures or “steps taken” are, arguably, too crudely “clunky” to very easily encompass matters of morality or spirituality. As Saint-Just said, “no-one can rule guiltlessly“.

Ukraine has been a corrupt mess since at least 1991.

Ukraine needs a new start. Ideally, the Russians should take all of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper), as well as Crimea, and also a 50-mile-deep strip along the Black Sea littoral. Odessa and Kiev should have some kind of special status, either condominium status or as autonomous cities. A Ukrainian state, presumably based on Lvov, can then exist in the two-thirds of Ukraine west of the Dnieper and north of that coastal strip.

The only two of those cities on the map shown that I would ever choose would be Almaty (where I actually did live in 1996-1997), and which is probably still not too unpleasant, though I liked it in its recently-ex-Soviet quieter days, and Buenos Aires, which is at least a basically civilized city (though I have never been there).

I read once that Bangalore is not bad by Indian standards, and I know that it was a prized posting for officers and civil servants during the days of the British Raj, probably because it is in hills, and so cooler than the plains. No doubt it is very much larger and busier these days. It is now the 27th-largest city in the world, and the 3rd/5th biggest (depending on boundary definition) city in India, in fact.

Little cocaine-abusing drunk and Jewish-lobby puppet Gove must have been snorting again. He is said to support this absurd policy idea. As for Policy Exchange pseudo-think tank, it should be crammed into the nosecone of an interplanetary rocket and fired into space.

Madness.

I saw that report. Pretty hair-raising. No wonder that the Irishman (so they said, though he does not look Irish, particularly) and his immediate group decided to go home. It was not explained why they were allowed to leave Ukraine. Maybe they had fulfilled their contract.

Well, there it is. I have blogged several times in the past (over several years) about the part-Jew pseudo-revolutionary scribbler and talking head, Paul Mason, and have blogged, inter alia, that he was possibly aiming to become a Labour MP, perhaps ultimately aiming at becoming Chancellor or even Prime Minister.

If I say so myself, who shouldn’t, the blog has been proven right once again.

I have frequently noted Zelensky’s ghetto style of negotiation.

Do I sense that even the major puppets of NWO/ZOG are tiring of Zelensky and his corrupt cabal? Not least because there is no real prospect of the Kiev regime being able to “recover” the regions of Crimea, Donetsk, and Lugansk.

350,000 Kiev-regime soldiers have been fed into the hell of Bakhmut/Artyomovsk and other areas of the front, and have fallen. Several times that number have been rendered hors de combat by reason of injury. Foreign contract soldiers are now going home, and there are rather few coming to replace them. The Kiev regime is increasingly using press-gangs to force unwilling Ukrainian men into uniform, and has toughened the exemption regulations in order to be able to “lawfully” conscript a wider range of non-volunteers.

Ukraine is by most definitions a “failed state”. It exists, both militarily and in general, only by reason of the Western subsidies. It could well be argued that, as it now is, “Ukraine” is scarcely a state at all.

That Ukrainian MP asking the questions must be a complete idiot. He wants NATO to station nuclear weapons on Ukrainian soil, which would mean that Ukraine would become a prime target for Russian strategic weapons. It would be like painting a huge bullseye on Ukraine.

“Independent” Ukraine has never been blessed with very intelligent politicians (or honest ones), but what can one say?…

Diary Blog, 8 September 2020, including further assessment of Extinction Rebellion, as well as notes about Tim Crosland and “Plan B” etc

Extinction Rebellion

An Extinction Rebellion fanatic called Dim Crosland (not really: it was Tim Crosland) was on BBC Radio 4 Today Programme. A complete would-be dictator or neo-Stalinist zealot. I looked him up on Google, only to find that this robotic idiot was supposedly a barrister in practice at one time (if so, presumably not for long; he sounded completely inflexible), and was more recently a legal bod at the National Crime Agency, which shocked me. Is that really the kind of person that Agency employs?

I thought that this person warranted further investigation.

In fact, Crosland’s Linked In profile, while mentioning the “barrister” bit, does not note specifically that he actually has the qualification, or when he attained it—assuming that he did— but only that he has a degree in Latin and Greek literature and philosophy (“Greats”, in the traditional name) from Oxford, followed by a Master’s degree taken 8-9 years later at Utrecht University (Netherlands): https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tim-crosland-b2ab9594

[Tim Crosland]

In fact, that Linked In profile is lacking other basic details, such as where Crosland attended school at the secondary level.

Crosland acquired his main degree at Oxford, 1988-1992. His Master’s degree was granted by Utrecht University in 2001, after one year. 8 years are therefore missing.

Crosland is next heard of in 2012, where he was apparently the Chair of the “Commonwealth Cybercrime Initiative” [“CCI”]. So there are another 11 years missing.

Crosland seems to have specialized in “cybercrime”, having spent 2 years and 2 months at CCI, which in fact looks like a very limited typical international quango paper-shuffling exercise: https://www.securityskeptic.com/CCI%20Quick%20Guide.pdf

Looks like nothing much of a concrete nature was done.

Crosland’s time at CCI overlapped with his time (18 months only) at the National Crime Agency, which ended in March 2015. The two jobs together add up to only 2 years and 9 months.

Crosland then spent 9-10 months at “COP-21”, part of the 2015 UN Climate Change Conference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_United_Nations_Climate_Change_Conference.

Since the end of 2015, Crosland has been Director of a registered charity called Plan B, which describes itself as “...a registered charity, supporting and advancing strategic legal action to contain dangerous climate change and ocean acidification.”

Also: “Plan B. Earth (“Plan B”) combines mobilisation with strategic litigation to hold governments and others to account for their responsibilities to prevent climate breakdown. In particular Plan B aims to promote compliance with the Paris Agreement temperature limit, beyond which, according to the best available science, the risks of catastrophe are intolerable.”

Plan B’s website: https://planb.earth/about/

Details of “Plan B” are held by the Charity Commission. It seems that Plan B, in the financial year 2018-2019, had an income of some £41,000, while expenditure was £58,000. The previous year, the figures were rather higher: income £101,000 and expenditure £72,000 (approx).

Purposes of the charity: General charitable purposes“. “Who the charity helps: The General Public/mankind.” Unenlightening.

Plan B is based in a townhouse in Walworth, London, equidistant from Vauxhall and Camberwell. The property is estimated to be valued at well over a million pounds: https://www.zoopla.co.uk/property/62-sutherland-square/london/se17-3el/21109546.

There is no indication anywhere, that I have seen, as to what Tim Crosland was doing in his 19 “lost years”, as mentioned here above. He seems too driven and zealous to have been lying on beaches or scuba-diving for such an amount of time. So what was he doing? Also, though talk of money may be vulgar, on what was he living?

I have been unable to find any trace of Tim Crosland’s work at the practising Bar. That does not mean that he was not practising at the Bar. Indeed, it may be that that is exactly what he was doing in those “lost” 19 years. All I am saying is that I have been so far unable to find any trace.

It may be that, as with some other Extinction Rebellion leaders (Crosland was apparently a co-founder), he has private means, a trust fund, or whatever, and so does not require a salary. Certainly a couple of years or so working as an employed lawyer is not going to have paid very much, and “Plan B” does not pay much, if anything (I should imagine that it pays nothing), as its Charity Commission details show.

I see references to Crosland here and there as “barrister” (but mostly in newspapers), also as “former government lawyer” etc, but no details of where or when he was in private practice (if he was), and no details of any reported cases (i.e. appeal cases). Certainly he is not now on the Barristers’ Register.

When I saw his photos, I suspected that Crosland is a Jew. He is. Jewish News reported thus in 2018: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/why-im-flying-to-tell-the-un-were-waking-up-to-climate-change/.

I have blogged previously about Extinction Rebellion and its tendencies (once you get past the weird street theatre and the pretty girls dancing etc) to both tyranny and terrorism. It seems that at least a few MPs, newspapers etc are waking up to this now (I blogged about all this a year or so ago): https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/08/16/the-extinction-rebellion-levellers/; and https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/10/09/extinction-rebellion-greta-thunberg-cressida-dick-and-the-madness-of-protesting-crowds/.

Conclusion

I feel that I am still missing something here, something revolving around those 19 (possibly) “lost” years.

Strange fact

While looking up a few things for this blog (for the above piece), I happened to see on Wikipedia that the 1960s/1970s Cabinet minister, Tony Crosland (no relation, as far as I know), a noted lothario of his day, had (earlier) actually had an affair with, of all people, Roy Jenkins! I had no idea! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Jenkins#Marriage_and_personal_life; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Crosland#Personal_life

Britain’s new toytown police state. How long before the “caring sharing” multikulti society opens camps for dissidents? If people don’t start fighting soon, they will become complete serfs and/or prisoners of a totalitarian state of evil.

The tweeter above, however, is quite mistaken to imagine that the Gestapo wasted their time like that (it was a rather small though efficient organization which mostly followed up reports from the public about potential spies and dissidents).

My own suggestion would be quite different and quite possibly “unlawful”…

Quite. On a related theme, most British people despise the Extinction Rebellion idiots, but at the same time I should guess that most feel not much sympathy for the newspapers temporarily shut down; nor for their scribblers, who are mostly System drones anyway.

It is becoming obvious to many more people than heretofore that the absurd “rules” restricting people “because of” the virus (scare) are just that— absurd. I happened to visit a small Tesco Express (in a village/suburb) today for about 5 minutes. More people were not masked than were masked.

Boris-idiot and the clowns comprising the present Cabinet are incompetent, but I myself think that that is not by any means the whole story. The “virus” scare is a global phenomenon tied in with the NWO etc.

When you see news like that below, you know that this is a mind-control and social control exercise designed to test procedures that will be repeated in more serious ways at a later date. The powers of Evil are behind this, ultimately.

Answer: no.

This is Kafka-esque!

Update, 9 September 2020

Guido Fawkes comments: https://order-order.com/people/tim-crosland/

Readers may have noticed that a naive commentator in the Comments section of this blog has told me that I was “patently antisemitic” for calling Crosland a Jew (even though he is, in ethnic terms, even if he is —I am told— philosophically an atheist). My blog article cites a Jew writing in Jewish News, which Jew described Crosland as “a Jewish barrister“.

So if I call someone a Jew (who is a Jew), my words are “antisemitic”, but if a Jew (writing in Jewish News) calls that same person a Jew, then that is not “antisemitic”!

Goebbels said this on the general subject:

This is the full Today Programme interview:

I have to say, thinking of the rather “exercized” commentator in my Comments section, that his remarks seem rather lacking in logic in places. He seems to know this Crosland person, but did not give much more information of a concrete nature, beyond confirming some of my speculations.

If, as that commentator strongly implied, Crosland was doing work of a very sensitive nature in the USA or UK for many years, work so secret that not even a general idea can be put on Linked In, then why have a Linked In profile at all, if so much is, and obviously is, omitted?

Also, why is Crosland’s ordinary work as a barrister in the past not on Linked In?That cannot be “secret”, surely? Maybe he cannot be bothered to flesh out his profile. I have no idea.

I was amused by the commentator’s obvious (and so English) reverence of Oxford (University). That commentator is himself in the Oxford area.

I am actually more concerned that such a person as Crosland was involved (according to his friend/acquaintance) at a very high level with an organization such as [what is now called] the National Crime Agency! It would seem to show something rotten (again) at the heart of an important part of UK governmental administration.

According to that commentator, who holds himself out as knowing, Crosland was “cleared” for “Top Secret” information. If that clearance was justified, it raises other questions.

The idea, echoed by the commentator, that Crosland is some kind of saintly idealist, I find hard to accept. If the UK goes “carbon neutral” by 2025 or even 2035 or 2045, huge numbers of people in the UK will suffer and die as a direct result. Fact.

My impression of that interview? A person with simplistic ideas (like his comrades: see https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/08/16/the-extinction-rebellion-levellers/), and who argued his case entirely unconvincingly for someone who apparently has been in the past both a practising barrister and a government lawyer.

Extinction Rebellion has no real programme, as I noted in my blog last year about them. This is a weird and pointless cult, worshipping (as does little Greta Nut) “The Science” as a God-substitute.
