Despite my having been subjected to false accusations from the Jew-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (amounting to attempted perversion of the course of justice from its “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”, one Stephen Silverman), despite my having had to suffer “voluntary” interview by police, despite my having been (quite wrongfully) put on trial (and convicted), and despite having been sentenced to a “community order” (and a financial penalty) in mid-March 2024, the blog continues, and has been published on a near-daily basis throughout.

As for that peculiar-looking young woman, Marianna Spring, before she became the face of BBC disinformation she committed a fraud by inventing details on her CV to try to get a job. She was found out, but still (later) hired by the BBC as its “truth verification” person! You really could not make it up!
Looking at her, I think that she must be (((the usual))) or partly so.
Whatever the truth of that, she must somehow “know the right persons”.

Though Powell would never have spelled “dependants” in the American fashion as above. No matter. The quotation is otherwise correct, and accurate in terms of Powell’s prediction. The only thing he got wrong was in the numbers. If as few as 50,000 non-Europeans were to invade the UK in 2024 or 2025, even Reform UK, even the rump of the NF or BNP, indeed even I (perhaps) would be sighing a sigh of relief.
At present well over a million a year are flooding in; about 1.4M. Only a couple of hundred thousand are leaving in the same time period, together with 50,000-100,000 Brits. That means over a million more inhabitants each year, which would be unsustainable even if they were all British, or white Northern European generally. However, a million more a year, of which many, indeed most, are useless, parasitic, criminal, or downright hostile to European culture and people, is indeed mad, just mad. It must lead to the breakdown of society sooner or later, probably sooner.
In fact, as the links clearly show, the father was “typical” in that, despite making millions out of commercial litigation, he supported not only thick-as-two-short-planks would-be black revolutionist Nelson Mandela but also the (other) terrorists (Africans and Jews) put on trial with Mandela in the Rivonia trial of 1963-64 (they intended to start a race war against white European people in South Africa). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivonia_Trial.
Incidentally, if you look at the tweets of Matthew Stadlen, which I have just been doing (for the first time, I think, certainly the first time for a number of years), you see that he is socio-politically confused. He welcomes the end of the Assad government in Syria, but lashes out at a tweet by Kelvin Mackenzie who makes the point that the 30,000 Syrians now in the UK as asylum-seekers or grantees can now go back.
Likewise, Stadlen praises the open spaces he and his dogs are able to enjoy in southern England, yet wants migrant-invaders to be allowed to arrive unimpeded, and to be housed (etc) at UK-taxpayer expense.
Meanwhile, “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer and his thick-as-two-short-planks supposed “deputy”, Angela Rayner, prepare to trash even more of England so that hutches for migrant-invaders can be built on a massive scale.
Again, Stadlen seems irritated by the decline of London into a city of crime, violence and anti-social behaviour, but fails (wilfully, I think) to note who is actually doing the vast majority of that…
Appreciate your answering but won't pretend I understand these particular distinctions on advising. I don't think it really addresses the issues you raised in your first tweet. Seems evasive to this layman.
“So, one of the things the SRA seem to be saying – and I think this comes from the very top, Juliet Oliver, general counsel – is; – a solicitor can continue to advise a former client where a conflict has arisen between that solicitor and client – so long as the solicitor only advises the client and does not ‘act’ by communicating with third parties or the court.” [James Wilson]
I mean I could guess what sort of response the SRA would get, and what sort of epitaphs would be used against them, if they reined in what I also regard as excessive generosity.

Some readers of the blog may be aware that Myerson is a Jew-Zionist barrister, based mainly in Leeds. Indeed, he holds letters patent as King’s Counsel (which is no longer the distinction it once was), and was sacked as Recorder (p/t judge) earlier this year (though permitted to “resign”, officially) after his vituperative tweets became notorious, and after he ignored his initial “warning off” from the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.
Only yesterday, Myerson was tweeting that the Russian Ambassador should be forced to give evidence in court, then arrested when “we do not believe him“. A strange thing for any barrister to tweet, seemingly in ignorance of both diplomatic immunity (under the 1961 Vienna Convention and/or longstanding customary international law) and the English law re. perjury.
I can only presume that Myerson was making some kind of peculiar joke (funny only to him); which, in a sense, is even more disturbing.
Myerson’s own testimony for the defence in the recent defamation case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Cantor and Newbon (deceased) was not thought worthy of being given any weight by the judge presiding. The claimant, Wilson, won his case, overall. See https://x.com/per_incuriam2.
Incidentally, Myerson is a member or supporter of both “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] and the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which latter undertook that private prosecution against the defendant Michael Derham. The memberships or support cadres of those “well-funded” little organizations overlap to some extent.
Myerson is also wrong (arguably, or in my view) in having tweeted that the court “convicted” that defendant, Myerson having not explained that the defendant pleaded guilty. There was no trial.
It seems that the sentence was a fine and costs amounting to a total of £1,000, to be paid off at £100 a month.
I recently wrote on the blog about how people accused of political crime, and prosecuted (as in such a case as the above), should always plead Not Guilty. My view on that is that such prosecutions (especially abusive private ones brought by such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) should never be validated by a plea of Guilty. Yes, there is the (notional) danger of a heavier sentence if found guilty, but the difference will not be great in most cases.
In the above-noted case, the defendant apparently had no previous convictions, and had elements of personal mitigation anyway. He should have fought the matter to the bitter end, as I would do, and indeed have done (see below).
I think that, in matters such as animal welfare, there is still a place for private or privately-brought but quasi-public prosecutions brought by organizations such as the RSPCA. However, in other matters, particularly “political” cases such as noted above, organizations such as the “CAA” should be prohibited from abusing the law to achieve maliciously-intended and socio-political ends, as so often happens. After all, the “CAA” is a Jew-Zionist organization closely tied to Israel and the Israeli Embassy in the UK. Though small, it is very well-funded. From where do such funds originate?
Incidentally, my own free speech trial, in November 2023 (sentencing hearing was in March 2024), was a public prosecution brought by the “Clown” Prosecution Service, but was only initiated after the CPS and the Hampshire Constabulary had been subjected to intense and directly political pressure by the “CAA” pack and their collaborators. Read my account(s) above.

Starmer supports rebellion against dictators, he says. In Syria, and elsewhere. Well, he himself is a kind of petty dictator, “elected” by only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, in the old proverb…
When Tel Aviv Keith refers to giving thanks “on behalf of the whole country“, he must mean Israel, which (via the UK Israel-lobby) controls him.
This man Starmer is so detested by most of the public, I would be very worried if I were him. How can he look any body in the face without feeling this innate sense of dislike for this pathetic liar. @GBNEWS@elonmuskpic.twitter.com/QAymiGy7Fd
MI6/SIS is an almost-pointless institution anyway. It lives off a reputation from the Second World War and Cold War which is and always was largely undeserved; unmerited.
Goodwin is right, though, about the “politicization” (I would say “socio-politicization”) of so many UK institutions. The police are heavily contaminated, as is the CPS.
Pity that Goodwin ignores the poisonous nature of the Jew-Zionist pressure on such institutions, though, and the directly consequent destruction of free speech…That Jewish/Zionist/Israel-lobby influence is the major repressive factor in the contemporary UK.
Shadow cabinet members already criticising her. She’s had no honeymoon period and no authority (Jenrick allowed to do is own thing). You’re right and she’ll be out after the locals as the Tories will panic and do the only thing they’re good at: regicide
I disagree with Lucas’s analysis which says that the fall of the Syrian government weakens Russia. It weakens Russia in the Middle East, yes— but in the big scheme of things, that makes no difference.
Back to basics. When Stalin was Soviet leader, the Soviet Union had a very small navy, and one which was mainly confined to seas around the Soviet coastline. For Stalin, the geopolitical reality was that the Soviet Union’s power rested on its huge land-based armed forces, and on its huge geographical size, as well as a large population.
With the coming of the atomic age, Stalin’s scientists and spies ensured that the Soviet Union acquired the weapons at first possessed by only the USA and then the UK. At that time, all Soviet atomic and nuclear weapons were land-based, i.e. launched from aircraft themselves based in the Soviet Union and, in a few cases, satellite states.
Khrushchev, in his memoirs, disparages the senior naval officers pushing for a global Soviet naval presence. After Khrushchev’s fall from power, his successors did the opposite, creating a massive navy, which included ships and submarines capable of launching missiles including, eventually, nuclear ones.
That post-1960s global-profile strategy included supporting various factions in Africa, Asia, Latin America; that included the Middle East. Superpower rivalry.
A clear cost-benefit analysis, however, shows that, in the present, post-Soviet era, Russia actually does not need bases in Syria or elsewhere. Its strength lies, as before, in its geographic size, its still-large population and, crucially, its strategic rocket forces. All of those still exist. Moreover, the Russian strategic rocket forces are, it seems, at least as powerful, and as awesome, as those of NATO (i.e. USA); perhaps more so.
If Russia is forced by events to take a smaller part in the events of the Middle East, then all to the good. It can concentrate its forces and attention on the key areas of Russia itself, Ukraine and other areas of the “near-abroad”, and on advancing its most important forces, the strategic rocket and other nuclear forces.
The main thing now is to defeat the Kiev regime, and to install in Ukraine, at least in Eastern Ukraine, along the Black Sea coast, and in Kiev, either direct Russian rule or a pro-Russia Ukrainian government. It may be thought expedient, and historically consonant, to allow an independent Ukrainian government in Western Ukraine, and based on Lvov.
In respect of Central and Western Europe, Russia merely needs to obtain a modus vivendi with those states by encouraging the election or other installation of governments not hostile to Russia. Such governments need not be “pro-Russian”, or under the control of Russia; they need only be independent of the USA and, of course, free from the Jew-Zionist influence now so pervasive throughout the West.
Putin and his supporters and/or successors should be focussing on their nuclear arsenal, together with active measures aimed at helping political parties and individuals in Western and Central Europe that want a civilized rapprochement with the Russian state and people.

Naturally, I expected the Labour Friends of Israel government led by “Tel Aviv Keith” to be hopeless and rubbish, but not so obviously so and so quickly.
Talking point
“Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer, former bureaucrat-lawyer; Rachel Reeves, fake “economist” and one-time bank office bod; David Lammy, thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity hire”; Yvette Cooper, expenses cheat fraudster and “refugees welcome” hypocrite. The rest as well…
Do you really expect that lot to be anything other than rubbish?
Now it seems that Rachel Reeves, who could not even control her own personal (and interest-free) House of Commons credit card, is apparently going to “scrutinize every penny” of public spending. i.e. do spending cuts.
Ecce “democracy”— 14 years of misguided “austerity”, so the “Conservatives” are eventually voted out, and in are voted (at least by 4 out of every 20 eligible voters) fake “Labour”. First thing they do (apart from arrest protesters and online commentators)? Impose more spending cuts…
Oh well, “worse is better“, as Lenin said. Maybe there will be a “straw breaks camel’s back” moment. Starmer, Reeves etc will then, I hope, get what’s coming to them.
Well, political parties need funding. That Nick Candy person certainly has money, and knows others with money. Still, his interest in UK politics has been anything but narrow, to date:
“...The Times in March 2021…named Nick as the leader of fundraising for Shaun Bailey’s London mayoral campaign.[78] In June 2020, The Guardian also reported that Candy had donated £100,000 to the Conservative Party in March 2020.[79] In February 2024, Nick was reported by the The Independent to have expressed support for Keir Starmer‘s Labour Party.[80]“
Controlled opposition, of course. Both main System parties are fading (finally) in public estimation, so to prevent something social-national emerging, up pops Reform UK— pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, anti-Welfare State, not (very) “racist” etc…
Still, the Overton Window is moving.

Jew-Zionist barrister (a “KC”, no less) who, apparently, has never heard of diplomatic immunity. Unless it is some kind of joke the humour of which escapes me.
“My case grinds on. Here’s a thing though: this is Mark Lewis, he’s a solicitor at Patron Law.
One of the most important rules about the conduct of solicitors is that they must not mislead or attempt to mislead the court. I now have clear evidence that suggests Lewis attempted to mislead the court. It is a serious allegation. The sort of allegation that, if true, should end Lewis’ career. The big question is: how are Lewis and his firm going to respond? @MLewisLawyer@Patron_Law.”
[James Wilson].
Actually Wilson is wrong in one respect. That is not “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, as his Twitter account used to be called; that is Lewis as he was about 12 years ago. He is now physically and mentally in a very poor condition, can scarcely walk, and his faculties are not what they may have been a decade or more ago.
Lewis and his fellow Zionist Jews in at least two pro-Israel organizations have been making false and malicious accusations against me for a decade now. I have responded with the truth, on Twitter (until “they” had me expelled in 2018), and on the blog (since late 2016).
The above video clip shows Lewis and his wife, Mandy Blumenthal, after their attempted political stunt (and scam) at the Edinburgh Fringe, in August 2024, failed risibly.
As for the latest information said to be in the hands of James Wilson ending Lewis’s career, that career is already effectively at an end. Many would say that (such as it was) it ended a long time ago.
When Lewis was fined and censured by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018, his own Counsel asked the panel to be lenient in terms of fining him because his sole assets were his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter! Even his car, at the time (before his domicile changed from the UK to Israel), was provided to him free of charge by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), under its Motability scheme.
Actually, Lewis’s Counsel may have (I presume, inadvertently) misled that Tribunal, inasmuch as Lewis had, or so he once claimed, a flat in Eilat, Israel.
Lewis and the pack of Zionist Jews connected with him (eg those in the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”) have never sued me for anything I have written about them. They have preferred to make malicious and false complaints about me to the police etc.
Having said that, it is true that my present impecuniosity would make me a pretty poor target for any civil suit; I have even fewer assets than Lewis, if you include his flat in Israel which he seems to have concealed from the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.
Even if they were to sue me and even if they were to succeed at trial (and they have not done so at any time in the past 12 years), their victory would be very very expensive for them. Hundreds of thousands of pounds expensive.
“My allegation is not that Lewis’ clients are vexatious, but that the evidence I have suggests he cannot be trusted not to attempt to mislead the court. If I am right, what does this mean for all the other cases in which Lewis has acted? What if there have been other attempts to mislead the court?“
Lewis has misled the Court and his own clients several, perhaps numerous, times, but so far has got away with it, at least to the extent of not having been struck off the solicitors’ roll. Part of his immunity from punishment has been the protective shield around him, consisting of other Jews, in the Press and other msm, not reporting negative things about Lewis, and indeed puffing him to a ridiculous extent, especially years ago.

Needless to say (again), few if any in Ukraine “volunteer” to be killed on the Kiev regime’s crumbling front lines. Few even comply with the draft. They have to be abducted, and intimidated by threats of prison or death.
Assuming that the reports are correct (they seem to be), and that the longstanding government of the Assad family in Syria has fallen, there now stands only Iran against the Jewish state of Israel.
The Assad family has controlled Syria since 1970, 54 years, so this marks a great change in the geopolitics of the Middle East.
What will never be admitted by the System parties is that we have been, for decades, in a deliberately-managed slow decline, which is now become a faster decline; in fact a slide. It is very much connected with mass immigration (the migration-invasion), and with the agenda of making the UK a multikulti, multiracial, and fairly poor country, with most of the economic benefit of its economy going to about 5%, if not 1%, of the population. That 1%, or even 5%, is mainly, though not exclusively, non-European. It includes many of “the usual suspects” (((them))).

[Jorge Ortega, victim of attack at Ilford Station, East London]
“The Ilford station victim has been named and pictured for the first time as his family pays tribute to him. Sixty-one-year-old Jorge Ortega was taken to hospital in a critical condition after he was seriously assaulted at Ilford railway station around 8.49pm on Wednesday, December 4. Jorge sadly died in hospital two days later on Friday, December 6.
Jorge’s family paid tribute to him yesterday (December 7) in a statement released by his son, saying: “Our dad was the most loving person, the kindest soul you could have the pleasure of meeting. Everyone who has met our dad or who has ever worked with him over the years will tell you this.
“He had a brilliant mind, enjoyed cooking, loved drawing, and was highly skilled in art. He was an amazing family man and would always put other people first. He loved his grandchildren, and in turn, they adored our dad. He was totally devoted to our mum and loved her beyond what words can describe.“
“British Transport Police officers were called to Ilford Station following reports of a serious assault on Wednesday. Paramedics and members of the Air Ambulance attended, and Jorge was rushed to hospital with serious head injuries.
28-year-old Ayodele Jamgbadi of Kingston Road in Ilford was arrested the next day and has been charged. He will appear at Inner London Crown Court on Tuesday, January 7, 2025.“

“But you can give it up, stop Shirriffing, if it has stopped being a respectable job,” said Sam.
“We’re not allowed to,” said Robin.

“Can’t say as I’d be sorry to see it,” said Robin, lowering his voice. “If we allgot angry together something might be done.”
. . . This was Frodo and Sam’s own country, and they found out now that they cared about it more than any other place in the world. Many of the houses that they had known were missing. Some seemed to have been burned down. The pleasant row of old hobbit-holes in the bank on the north side of the Pool were deserted, and their little gardens that used to run down bright to the water’s edge were rank with weeds. Worse, there was a whole line of the ugly new houses all along Pool Side, where the Hobbiton Road ran close to the bank. An avenue of trees had stood there. They were all gone. And looking with dismay up the road towards Bag End they saw a tall chimney of brick in the distance. It was pouring out black smoke into the evening air.

Unfortunately, basically “System” historians and academics such as Ferguson are easily held to ransom by the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. Their own careerist interests tend to get in the way of truth-telling.
The Lord of the Rings quotation there, though, resonates with me. That is more or less how I feel about England. There is, almost daily, less and less left of the England I remember from childhood (early-mid 1960s) and my teenage years (early to mid 1970s) (I was in Australia 1967, 1968, 1969).
Now we are told that, even “net”, the migration invasion will be around a million a year, indefinitely. That means continual degradation of housing availability, healthcare availability, law and order, availability of decent education, ever-lowering real pay; it also means the destruction of the welfare state.
It makes no difference at all whether those entering the UK do so with various visas, and on scheduled flights, or do so in rubber boats, invading the beaches of southern England.
The questions raised are:
how many years before this society collapses, together with its corrupt and decadent political system?
how many years before a real social-national government can take power and exterminate the societal evils that are being visited upon us (not all of which, however, are by reason of mass immigration)?

Sweden has taken immigration below net zero – eg, more are now leaving than arriving.
It tightened rules, upped deportation and agreed to offer up to £25k to those who “re-emigrate” (aka voluntary repatriation).
Each immigrant to the UK, at present, is costing the UK about a million pounds over a lifetime, taking everything into account. It therefore makes sense to say “go out and stay out of the UK and we shall give you a gratuity of £50,000 [or more].” There would have to be a second, firmer statement, i.e. “return to the UK without permission, and you will be shot.”
Of course, such an offer might attract others. That posits the need for firm measures to prevent that.
We could even go further, inviting non-whites born in the UK to emigrate, and providing a similar and larger gratuity to them on that basis, maybe £200,000 in cash. Same (not some) conditions apply…
Expensive, but not so expensive as having them here.

The British Council is both useless and expensive. As Martin Bell pointed out many years ago, the (old) BBC World Service did “soft power” diplomacy many times better on a fraction of the budget.
The Labour Party succeeded at GE 2024 (albeit to the extent that 33.7% of voters that voted, voted Labour) not on its own merits, but because “almost everyone” (at least 9 out of every 12) wanted rid of the Conservative Party.
Now we see a similar phenomenon— the people want rid of both of the main System parties. So far, Reform is the only game in town.
“One day he [Heydrich] told me that a decision had been made in Hitler’s Headquarters, to create a big reservation for the Jews in Russia, which could be developed into a Jewish State. Considered the great advances of the German troops in Russia, everything looked very positive. A resettlement of such a magnitude appeared possible.” [from the 1976 memoirs of Lina Heydrich (geboren von Osten)].
“The Oreshnik strike is a signal to the United States and its allies that Moscow will be ready in any way to prevent them from inflicting a strategic defeat. Sergey Lavrov said this in an interview with Tucker Carlson: “Westerners are fighting to maintain their hegemony in the world, in any country, region, on any continent. We are fighting for our legitimate security interests.”
“Key statements by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an interview with Tucker Carlson:
Russia and the US are not officially at war, but a hybrid war is being waged against Moscow. And what is happening in Ukraine is the most visible and obvious part of this hybrid war. Moscow does not want to make things worse, but since ATACMS and other long-range weapons are being used on Russian territory, Russia is sending signals and hopes that the latest of these signals, from the new Oreshnik system, will be taken seriously.
It is obvious that the Ukrainians could not do what they do with modern long-range weapons without the direct participation of the American military.
The message we wanted to convey by testing this hypersonic system in real conditions is that we will be ready to do everything to protect our legitimate interests. The Minsk agreements stipulated that Kyiv should enter into direct dialogue with the people who did not accept the coup d’etat and promote the development of economic relations with this part of Ukraine, but none of this was done.
We prefer a peaceful settlement through negotiations based on respect for the legitimate security interests of Russia, respect for the Russian people living in Ukraine, their fundamental rights, linguistic and religious rights, which have been destroyed by a number of laws adopted by the Ukrainian parliament.
It is absolutely useless to claim that the people who came to power as a result of the military coup in February 2014 represented the Crimeans or the inhabitants of the east and south of Ukraine. The Crimeans rejected the coup, demanded to be left alone and said that they did not want to have anything to do with these people. So did the Donbass.
If there had been no coup d’état in February 2014 and if the agreement reached the day before between then-President Poroshenko and the opposition had been implemented, Ukraine would be united and Crimea would be part of it.
Russia is ready to send additional “messages” to the West if they do not draw the necessary conclusions after the launch of Oreshnik.
Russia is not considering the possibility of a nuclear war with the US.
Trump is friendly in conversation, but this does not mean he is pro-Russian.
Russia does not intend to destroy the Ukrainian people, they are brothers and sisters for Russians.
It is not his responsibility to disclose information about the number of Russian citizens killed since February 2022; this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense.
Russia still hasn’t received Navalny’s test results after his treatment in Germany.
Talk of a limited nuclear strike is an invitation to a catastrophe that Russia does not want.
Russia has never set out to kill people, unlike the Ukrainian regime.
There is a tragedy in Ukraine, while in Palestine there is a catastrophe
The number of civilians killed in Palestine in a year is almost twice the number of civilians killed in the Ukrainian conflict over 10 years.
US ‘feeding’ some Kurdish separatists in Syria.
Moscow does not believe that the solution to the Ukrainian issue is only for Russia and the US.
Statements by individual NATO officials about the possibility of preemptive strikes against Russia raise concerns.
The West is making a serious mistake in believing that Russia’s “red lines” can shift.
Zelensky is inadequate if, after everything he has done, he wants to return people of Russian culture to Ukraine.
For peace in Ukraine there should be no NATO, military bases or exercises involving foreign troops.
West will have to consider realities on the ground for agreement on Ukraine.
Russia will judge the Trump administration on its specific steps, but Biden wants to leave him a difficult legacy.“
This essay on the dire state of Britain from @nfergus in the @TheFP is a must read. Everybody in Westminster and beyond should read it.
“Why are @Nigel_Farage and Reform surging again in the polls? Because of one word. Immigration. Because of mass, uncontrolled, unprecedented immigration.
Consider just a few things we’ve learned since the election in July —and which you’ll already know if you read my newsletter.
We’ve learned that despite all the promises on Left and Right to reduce net migration it’s now rocketed to nearly one million people a year —more than twice what it was at the time of Brexit.
We’ve learned that neither Left nor Right, nor more importantly the Treasury, have any serious interest in slashing net migration and their forecasts now assume ongoing mass immigration forever.
We’ve learned that enough people to fill the city of Birmingham migrated into Britain last year —in just ONE year.
We’ve learned that the government departments and agencies that are supposed to count immigration cannot even get the numbers right.
We’ve learned that according to the government’s own forecasts Britain’s population is forecast to grow by at least another 6.5 million people by the year 2036 —equivalent to six Birmingham’s.
We’ve learned via the centrist Pew Research Centre that between today and 2050 Britain will see the largest increase in the absolute number of Muslims of all European nations.
We’ve learned that Muhammad has become the most popular baby name for boys in Britain for the first time, overtaking Noah.
We’ve learned that mass immigration is not only the biggest driver of Britain’s population growth but is now, in fact, the ONLY driver of our population growth.
We’ve learned that the fertility rate among the British has fallen to 1.4 and is forecast to fall below 1.3 by the end of the century, well below the replacement rate of 2.1 and while nobody in Westminster will dare talk about pro-family policies, we’ve learned that 86% of all immigration that’s now coming into Britain is coming from outside Europe —from poorer and radically different nations and cultures.
We’ve learned that our broken asylum system which neither of the big parties are willing to fix is now costing us at least £5.4 billion a year and has cost us around £18 billion since 2018.
We’ve learned about these costs at the very same time as our leaders have taken winter fuel payments off pensioners and smashed family farms to save £2 billion We’ve learned that over the last four years, only 15-18% of people who migrated into Britain came here to work in skilled jobs.
We’ve learned that on average each low-wage, low-skill migrant is now costing British taxpayers between £150,000 & £1 million a year.
We’ve learned that while Keir Starmer is talking about building 1.5 million homes we need to build more than half that JUST to keep up with the demand from immigration.
We’ve learned that over the last 4 years some 40,000 criminal offences were committed on Britain’s streets by immigrants who have avoided deportation.
We’ve learned that at least 1 in 4 migrants who avoid deportation have gone on to reoffend.
And we’ve learned, only this week, that since the financial crisis some 441,000 people from outside the UK have been given new social housing lettings at the same time as British families and young people have been plunged into a major housing crisis by our hapless elites.
This. This is why one in four Brits are now turning to Nigel Farage and Reform. This is why Reform is now ahead of Labour and looks set to pick up the realignment which the Tories squandered by lying to the country.
Millions of British people have simply had enough. Had enough of Labour Had enough of the Tories. Had enough of the expert class. Had enough of the lies. Had enough of the gaslighting. Had enough of the insults. They want their country back. And they will use whatever vehicle is available to get it back.”
Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, an international, transnational conspiracy to create a mixed-race population, especially in Europe.
Both main System parties (and the LibDems) are connected to that conspiracy. Traitors who should be, and one day will be, dealt with.
The mainstream media also is riddled with traitors and those who go along with the evil plans of the conspirators for reasons of money and/or careerism.
There will one day have to be a thoroughgoing purge of the political, mass media, and general cultural milieux.
When Germany was on its knees after the First World War, and riddled with traitors and exploiters, one man, with a few followers, stood up against the tide. He attracted support and, despite the attempts to repress the national rebellion, prevailed and created the most advanced state in the world at the time.
Britain, and much of Europe, now also needs to free itself from exploitation and treachery.
Temps perdu
I just read one of my blog posts from 2018, but about events in 1992.

Vysotsky musings
I happened to find an old Vysotsky CD in the car. Playing it as I drove along, I found myself musing on Vysotsky. I was actually unaware, until I looked more closely at his Wikipedia profile, that he was half-Jew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Vysotsky#Early_life. Surprising, perhaps, in view of his occasional lampooning of Jewish types and/or accents in some of his songs.
When I got slightly involved with the Soviet and Russian milieu in the late 1970s and then 1980s (though only in and/or from the UK; I never went to the Soviet Union, and first visited Moscow only in 1993), it struck me rather unpleasantly what a decadent society had grown up in that part of the world. In particular, the excessive drinking of some Soviet citizens (mainly men) and also the heavy smoking (especially though not exclusively men). Not everywhere, certainly not everyone, but enough to rot the society from within. That, and corrosive cynicism.
Vysotsky was to some extent the personification of all that. That is not to take away from his great talent as a singer-songwriter, but that sort of unhealthy lifestyle was, in my view, a large part of the reason why the Soviet Union collapsed so completely so unexpectedly, just as its semi-toleration of underhand dealings, criminality, and (largely Jewish) underground business activity in the 1970s and 1980s led, in the post-collapse 1990s, to the glitzy tasteless Russia of the (mostly Jewish) “oligarchs” under Yeltsin and, to a lesser extent Putin, and to the gangsterism rampant in the 1990s (though far less so now).
Andropov was probably a highly unpleasant man, and extremely repressive, as well as possibly half-Jew (it is not certain), but I think that he saw the train coming down the tunnel at Soviet society, and decided to stop it. His unexpected death really sounded the death-knell of Sovietism.
I read a Daily Telegraph piece about “middle class” homeless people (i.e. people who had good jobs, decent houses or flats, and then didn’t). The article waxed eloquent about the pressure on social housing etc, but the words “immigration” and “migration” did not appear; not once.
As Hitler said of many during the Weimar Republic period, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“…
BREAKING.
A poll by Findoutnow has shown Reform (24%) ahead of Labour (23%) for the first time ever.
Another interesting thing about this poll is that while @Nigel_Farage & Reform are ahead of Labour they’re also more popular than the Tories among the under-65s … https://t.co/0qKp502tEw
While FPTP voting would still be cheating Reform of nearly half of its potential seats under full proportional voting (156), those figures would give Reform about 95 seats, according to Electoral Calculus (Con 219, Lab 207, LibDem 67, Greens 6, SNP 22 etc). Thus Reform would be the “kingmaker”, though even then the Cons would have to agree with another party to get over the 326 line, or even the ~315 practical line.
In fact, as Goodwin implies, the only factor that keeps the Cons even as high as 26% in the polls is the pensioner vote. That may reduce by 2029; we shall see. A result of Reform 26%, Con 24%, Lab 23% would result in a Commons with Lab 195, Con 174, Reform 149. Still unfair and illogical, but on that showing, Labour would be unable to form a government even with LibDem, SNP and Green support, whereas a Con-Reform coalition could, just about.
If Reform, Con, and Lab all got 25% (others as given), then the result would be Lab 245, Con 188, Reform 93, LibDem 69, SNP 22, Greens 6.
I myself tend to think that Reform’s star is waxing, but the others waning, so a result somewhere in the area(s) above is not unlikely, with 3 or even 4 parties having almost equal success.
“Tim Montgomerie’s leap from the Tory ship to Reform UK? Now this is a statement. Thirty-three years of loyalty to the Conservatives, yet even he’s had enough of the dithering, U-turns, and wet centrism. Reform UK is becoming the island for those sick of the Westminster circus, a home for patriots tired of compromise and careerists. The Tories should be terrified—if stalwarts like Montgomerie are walking away, what does that say about the state of the party? Reform UK isn’t just nibbling at the edges anymore; it’s carving out a proper movement for common-sense politics and sovereignty. Watch this space, lads. The political realignment is only just beginning.”
Naturally, for anyone social-national, Reform UK is only a step forward, rather than any giant leap. Many of its expressed policies are wrong, and many of its candidates non-European. It is also pro-Israel etc.
Reform, however, may help to kill off the System parties over the next few years.
As for Tim Montgomerie, I have of course never had any time for him. He supported the fake “compassionate Conservatism” of David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne (both part-Jew) and the cruelties inflicted on so many by their policies, and by “welfare” (social security) “reformers” Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, the Jew “Lord” Freud etc.
Still, Montgomerie’s defection is an interesting commentary on the possible upcoming demise of the Conservative Party.
Reform UK is polling at around 20%. It has been there before, just about, but fell back to score only 14.29% at GE 2024. In my opinion, though, the fact that Reform UK was able to have 5 MPs elected (in contradistinction to other small parties of the past half-century and more) is more important than appears superficially.
To look at Reform UK’s underwhelming (in themselves and in terms of numbers) 5 MPs and say (as many Labour Party partisans, pro-EU drones etc, have done, expressly) “ha ha! You lost!“, totally misses the point.
For any small political party, under the UK electoral system, to get even one MP elected is huge; to get 5 elected at once is, well, massive.
That especially applies once one realizes that it was only the FPTP voting system, which since the 1960s has gradually ceased to reflect the real levels of political opinion in the country, which prevented Reform UK having about 93 MPs (14.29% of 650).
Under a (full) proportional representation system, Reform UK would have been awarded 93 MPs, the LibDems 79, the Conservative Party 154, and Labour 219, on the voting numbers at GE 2024.
In reality, were the voting system proportional, many more voters might have voted for Reform UK anyway, because not put off doing so by the perception that not voting Lab, Con, or LibDem is “a wasted vote”.
As can be seen from the graphic above, the present system of voting in England (particularly) is skewed against the smaller parties. Not Reform UK alone; the Green Party, under a fully-proportionate system, would have been awarded, at GE 2024, 42 MPs (6.39% of 650) instead of the 3 who were actually elected. Even George Galloway’s Workers’ Party would have 5 seats.
Some proportional-voting systems have a “threshold”, 1%, 5% etc, below which a party gets no seats.
We now have a Labour government which was voted for by a third (33.7%) of the actually-voting electorate, and by a mere 20% of the eligible electorate. It has only marginal legitimacy.
Having said all that, we are where we are. At present, the main two System parties still stand opposed to reform of the electoral process.
The SNP was founded in 1934, but only had its first MP elected in 1945, in a by-election, and he lost his seat only 3 months later. The next SNP MP won her seat in another by-election, in 1967, but lost it in 1970, though another SNP candidate won in another seat. At that time, there were 71 MPs holding Scottish constituencies.
The SNP did well in 1974, getting 11 MPs at one of the two general elections, but fell back to 2 in 1979. Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, the SNP increased its support but even in 2010 had only 6 MPs out of the 59 then available in Scotland.
Then, in 2015, the SNP had its electoral miracle, based on a “Conservative” Party government at Westminster supported by relatively few Scottish voters, and on a Labour Party which had been supreme in Scotland since 1945, increasingly so since 1964 and then in the early 21stC, but which was perceived as being useless (particularly so in the Blair/Brown years (when Labour was in power at Westminster) and thereafter, when Scottish Labour was headed by the egregiously poor Jim Murphy [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Murphy]. Murphy had been an unsuccessful university student for 11 years, and never did graduate, but became a Labour MP at the relatively early age of 29.
In 2015, Scottish Labour lost 41 of its 41 Westminster seats, while the SNP held or gained 56 (out of 59).
How does that relate to Reform UK in 2024 and perhaps 2029?
We have seen how the SNP took over a decade to get 1 MP, and 40 years to get a cadre of MPs, and how the SNP only surged to power 81 years after its foundation.
Reform UK, dating from only 2021, is however the same, in effect, as its previous persona as Brexit Party, founded in 2018, and a lineal descendant from UKIP (though that still exists as a small rump), founded in 1993.
Reform UK is now aiming to do in England, as well as in the UK as a whole, what the SNP did in Scotland in 2015, i.e. catch the wave of popular support. For Farage, Tice etc, there has to be that FPTP tipping point, the point at which the illogical, unfair etc FPTP system, instead of impeding Reform, starts to work in its favour.
Reform’s slightly underwhelming result at GE 2024 was purely the result of its support (and votes) being spread so thinly. Reform had considerably more actual votes than the LibDems, but few concentrations of votes. Where the concentration was dense enough, Reform got MPs.
The msm commentators, and the Labour and Conservative Party partisans, have not fully taken on board why Labour won so many MPs, and so won the election.
Labour won because the Conservative Party lost. Trite, yes, but the point is that —as can be seen from the percentage voting for Labour, only 33.7%— rather few people actually voted Labour, and most of those who did, did so in a wholly negative way, i.e. because in this or that particular constituency, the fight was perceived as being only between Lab and Con, or Lab and SNP in Scotland, and people desperately wanted rid of 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment.
What, then happens when Labour, Starmer-Labour, Labour Friends of Israel Labour, is hated and despised as much as the Conservative Party was 5 months ago? Well, actually, that has already happened, but of course Labour is going nowhere, insulated from dissent, protest, and even riot by its very large majority (presently 156: see https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/government-majority).
It has taken Starmer only 5 months to put Labour down where the Cons were, in popular estimation, after many years, arguably 14 years.
If the voting patterns of several years continue, i.e. people voting against rather than for candidates and parties, then I think it entirely possible that, in voting against Labour, Reform might be the receptacle for those “anti” votes, more than the Conservative Party. In fact, I can see at least the possibility that both Lab and Con will slump, Lab to maybe 200 seats, and Con to somewhere below 100. If that were to happen, there would be about 350 seats going to others, in England maybe 250. Reform could be the main beneficiary of that.
It may be speculative to suggest that the next general election could see Reform UK as the party with the most Commons seats, but it is now not impossible.
How many seats could Reform get? I do not know. Anywhere from 50 to 200, if they continue to gather support. Reform came second in 98 seats at GE 2024; on the other hand, UKIP came second in 120 seats in 2015.
The only gamechanger I could see for the Cons would be if “Boris” Johnson were to come back into direct politics, take one of the few “safe” Con seats left, depose the Nigerian woman, Kemi Badenoch, then appeal to the public, “cosplaying” his favourite role as an am-dram Winston Churchill.
As regular readers know, I myself despise Johnson, and hold him in utter contempt. However, many voters do not. Stupid, maybe, but we must look at the realities. In fact, Johnson is not terribly popular with the voters; just more popular than Kemi Badenoch ever will be.
I have often wondered why Johnson was not granted a life peerage. He could have had one, had he wished. There is only one answer— he wanted to keep his options open. Were he to return as Con leader, he could not do worse than Sunak (or Badenoch) electorally, in my view. A “Boris” general election might steal much of Reform’s thunder. The Cons might even become the largest party again. Hateful to me (as is Starmer-Labour) but it might just happen.
At GE 2024, parties and individuals other than LibLabCon got a record 30.4%. That means that, already, if taken with the 40.2% of eligible voters who did not vote, 70.6% of people did not vote for the so-called “three main parties”.
In the early 1980s (when I took A Levels, studying for a few months alone in order to be able to get onto a law degree course, having dropped out of school a decade before, at age 16, in 1973), about 8% of candidates were awarded a Grade A. By 2009, that had grown to nearly 27%, despite the increase in the number of candidates.
In 2009, the concerns about grade inflation resulted in a new category being established, the A*. Look at the statistics. From 2009, about 8% were getting A* grades, but the ordinary A grades were, from 2009, running at around 18% or more. B and C grades were inflating even more.
As with the currency, grade inflation simply means that, in the end, the piece of paper becomes almost worthless.
Israeli war crimes— Genocide in Gaza
“My name is Amos Goldberg. I am an Israeli Professor of Holocaust Studies. For nearly 30 years I have researched and taught the Holocaust, genocide and state violence.
And I want to tell whoever is willing to listen that what’s happening now in Gaza is a genocide.
““My name is Amos Goldberg. I am an Israeli Professor of Holocaust Studies. For nearly 30 years I have researched and taught the Holocaust, genocide and state violence. And I want to tell whoever is willing to listen that what’s happening now in Gaza is a genocide. A year ago when October 7th happened, like all Israelis I was in shock. It was a war crime and a crime against humanity. 1200 people – more than 800 of them civilians – were killed in one day. Children and the elderly were among those taken hostage. Communities were destroyed. It was outrageous, traumatizing, personal. Like most Israelis, I know people who were killed, who lost loved ones or whose loved ones were taken hostage. But immediately afterwards came Israel’s response and within weeks thousands of civilians were killed in Gaza. It took me some time to digest what was unfolding before my eyes. It was agonizing to confront that reality. I was reluctant to call it a genocide. But if you read Raphael Lemkin – the Jewish-Polish legal scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ and was the major driving force behind the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention – what is happening in Gaza now is exactly what he had in mind when he spoke about genocide. It does not need to look like the Holocaust to be a genocide. Each genocide looks different and not all involve killing of millions or the entire group. The United Nations Genocide Convention explicitly asserts that genocide is the act of deliberately destroying a group in whole or in part. Those are the words. But there does need to be a clear intent. And indeed, there are clear indications of intent to destroy Gaza: Israel’s leaders – including the prime minister and the minister of defence – and many high-ranking military officers, media personalities, rabbis, as well as ordinary soldiers were very open about what they wanted to achieve. There were countless documented incitements to turn the whole of Gaza into rubble and claims that there are no innocent people living there. A radical atmosphere of dehumanization of the Palestinians prevails in Israeli society to an extent that I can’t remember in my 58 years of living here. Now that vision has been enacted. Tens of thousands of innocent children, women and men have been killed. Over a hundred thousand were wounded. There is a near total destruction of infrastructure, intentional starvation and blocking of humanitarian aid. There are mass graves and reliable testimony of summary executions. Children that were shot by snipers. All the universities and almost all hospitals are gone. Almost all the population is displaced. There have been numerous bombings of civilians in so-called ‘safe zones’. Gaza does not exist anymore. It is completely destroyed. Thus, the outcome fits perfectly with the stated intentions of Israel’s leadership. Lemkin – that scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ – described two phases of a genocide. The first is the destruction of the annihilated group and the second is what he called ‘imposition of the national pattern’ of the perpetrator. We are now witnessing the second phase as Israel prepares ethnically cleansed areas for Israeli settlements. And therefore, I have come to the conclusion that this is exactly what a genocide looks like. We don’t teach about genocides in order to realize it retrospectively. We teach about it in order to prevent it and to stop it. But like in every other case of genocide in history right now we have mass denial. Both here in Israel and around the world. But reality cannot be denied. So yes, it is a genocide. And once you come to this conclusion you cannot remain silent.” – Statement to Led By Donkeys, December 2024 – Photo: Parliament Square, London, 8.40am, 4th December 2024.“
Powerful.
That statement certainly puts the UK and US-based Jew-Zionist “human rights” lawyers in their place, the ones constantly tweeting about how what has been happening in Gaza is supposedly not a genocide because… [how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?].

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer BLASTS Kemi Badenoch for being the ‘cheerleader’ of mass migration

What really matters politically, though, is not the Westminster Bubble blame-game but what is actually happening on the streets. A million or more invaders every year (last year 1.2M) (yes, one or two hundred thousand leave, as do about a hundred thousand disenchanted Brits), and a steep slide in terms of public services, a decent society, crime, incomes, housing provision, and much else.
If things go on as they now are, there will be either a quietly-British form of social-national revolution somewhere or somewhen down the line, or (and/or) a kind of civil war mixed with a social war and a race war. A confused mixed picture, though, not a sharply-delineated and two-sided one.
In contemporary Britain, the truth is “inflammatory“…
I argued, in my long-ago talk at the London Forum in 2017, that people charged with such essentially political offences should never plead guilty.
Pleading guilty is understandable in ordinary criminal cases, in that it reduces the sentence where the evidence is overwhelming, but I consider it the duty of social-national and other nationalist defendants to plead not guilty. To plead guilty is to validate the prosecution. Also, in a jury case especially, you never know your luck.
I followed my own advice in my 2023 free speech trial.
Yes, I was still convicted, after a process that started, from my point of view, in February or March 2023, and ended with my sentencing hearing on 14 March 2024, but my “9-month community order” (probation, by any other word) ends in about a week, technically, and in reality finished in mid-September 2024; my “community order” sentence of “15 rehabilitation days” turned out to be half a dozen or so meetings ranging in duration from about 30 minutes to a couple of hours each.
Would I have been handed down a more lenient sentence had I pleaded guilty? I doubt it.
People at the Spectator Awards used to laugh at @Nigel_Farage. Last night, I sat in the room as he warned them Reform will cause an earthquake at the next election. There was total silence because everybody knows it could happen.
It does not even much matter that Reform UK would probably be poor at governing. The main thing is to smash the “two main parties” scam, and—to intrude a metaphor from the world of chess— to open up the board.
Happened to catch 10 mins of a TV jaunt around the Caribbean, presented by Clive Myrie. Needless to say, the black TV presenter focussed, when in Jamaica and Barbados, mainly on slavery, “reparations” for slavery, and on “racism” etc.
There was an amusing moment when Myrie met relatives in what I took to be their not unpleasant large villa, set amid a profusion of flowering plants. One of them mentioned how Myrie’s father had, after having moved to the UK, encountered “racism, not like you today“, but Myrie demurred. He obviously has that chip on the shoulder, despite being paid hundreds of thousands a year by the BBC and (as, co-incidentally, I just saw in the Guardian) large extra amounts moonlighting as well: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/dec/04/clive-myrie-apologises-for-failing-to-declare-at-least-145000-in-outside-earnings-bbc.

Largan has been volubly pro-Jew-Zionist and pro-Israel. As MP, and even before being elected in 2019, he frequently tweeted against those he considered “antisemitic”, including local resident and persecuted satirical singer-songwriter, Alison Chabloz. He tweeted a few times against me, too, if I recall aright.
I have no idea whether the trustee position about which Largan tweets is paid; I expect so. He does not seem to have taken on other work since he lost his Commons seat 5 months ago. However, the entire annual income of the organization is, apparently, less than £400,000, so any payment to trustees must be modest.

Others connected with that organization are Luke Akehurst, now an MP, and sinister former MP, “Lord” Ian Austin (search for my previous comments about him via the search box on the blog). https://antisemitism.org.uk/group-members/.
Having just looked at Largan’s Twitter/X timeline for the first time in months, I notice that its tenor is that of a politician still (local elections, local events, Westminster occurrences). Can it be that he hopes to be the Conservative Party candidate for High Peak next time? That is how it looks to me.
Largan, seemingly now resident within the constituency, will have an uphill climb if he wants to get elected again at High Peak. He won High Peak in 2019 by only 1.1 points (590 votes) over Labour’s candidate, but lost in 2024 by 16.1 points (7,908 votes).
In 2024, Reform UK came in a fairly respectable third, but Labour got more votes (just) than Conservative and Reform put together. Reform can only do better, arguably, next time, and may either win or deny the Con candidate the win.
Looking at a few of his recent tweets, I find a few things on which I can agree with Largan: for example, his opinion that The Battle of the River Plate is a very good film indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_River_Plate.

The music, by Brian Easdale, is very fine, in my opinion.
NEW POST. We demanded information about how immigration is impacting Britain & now we're starting to get it.https://t.co/JXWCZ8VrxZ
Most attacks on free speech in the UK come from the Jewish/Zionist pro-Israel lobby, who have been making malicious complaints about me and many others for (in my case) at least 12 years.
That tweeter seems to be hostile to persons expressing anti-Zionist views.

“Law requires” maybe, but not all laws are in use every day or at all. English law still has statutes nominally in force which are now never applied. No doubt Iranian laws are similar in that sense.
