Well, I did much better than political journalist John Rentoul this week— 7/10 as against his claimed “4 and a half out of 10” (not sure how he managed to give himself a half-point for no.7; still, there it is). I did not know the answers to questions 6 and 9; I might have got no. 3 had I thought about it (but did not, because I jumped at Francesca di Rimini which was composed a couple of years earlier).

“Arabic might be considered the richest language in words based on its complexity. According to The National – the United Arab Emirates’ leading English-speaking news outlet – on average, a single written word in Arabic has three meanings, seven pronunciations and 12 interpretations.“
Not merely a philological curiosity; it means that the meaning and/or intent of the Arab is not necessarily clear-cut.
True, the same word in English can have several meanings (some words can, that is), but I do not think that that is quite the same, mainly because, in English, the meaning is usually obvious from the context. Also, it applies to a relatively few words, not “the average“.
Something for the Arabists in the Foreign Office to consider, if they have not all been purged, and replaced by Zionists (which may well be the case, looking at UK representation in Ukraine and Israel in recent years).

“Ukraine has…uh…Biological Research Facilities…we’re concerned that some of this research…could fall into the wrong hands…” -Victoria Nuland
A few years ago, I posted on the blog my experience, sometime around 1994 or 1995, of having visited the UK’s biological research laboratories at Porton Down, Wiltshire, in company with the then Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, who later became both an unsuccessful candidate for the Presidency of Ukraine and the director of a biological facility in Ukraine (he was a biochemist/microbiologist by training):

“Reform UK can win scores of Labour seats in England and Wales, says study.
Analysis of a mega poll shows Keir Starmer would lose more seats than Tories amid voter discontent with main parties.
Labour faces losing scores of seats to Reform UK across England and Wales as a widening section of voters lose faith in the mainstream parties, according to a new analysis seen by the Observer.
With senior figures in the Labour party now privately talking about a “change of era” in which more moderate voters are turning to Nigel Farage’s party, new research on Reform’s influence suggests it will take far more seats from Labour than from the Conservatives on current trends.
Reform would win 76 seats if an election were held now, according to a constituency-by-constituency model. Of those, 60 would be won from Labour, including seats across the “red wall”, as well as in Wales and across the south of England.
However, the analysis also reveals that even a relatively small further swing towards Reform from Labour could see the party pick up another 76 Labour-held seats.
The narrow Labour lead in many seats means it is susceptible in the event of a high turnout among Reform voters, a surge in Reform’s support, or a drop in Labour turnout.
The huge study, commissioned by the Hope Not Hate campaign group, has been carried out by the Focaldata polling company using a mega-poll, or MRP, made up of almost 18,000 voters.
Its analysis of almost 4,000 voters currently minded to back Reform found that one in five were “moderate, interventionist” voters who were unlike those who had backed Farage at the last election or supported Ukip or the Brexit party in the past.“
[The Observer/Guardian]
So there it is. Reform could end up with 152 seats even on present polling and trending.
As frequently noted, Reform is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination, but this news, overall, is very good.

“I spent the weekend in an act of ‘wild service’ helping to restore nature & maybe helping to heal some if the urban/rural divide.
In an event organised by @StEthelburgas &@letterstoearth_, a group of urbanites came together in the glorious welsh countryside to plant hedges & trees.
The method of planting 100’s of metres of hedges to connect up existing habitats (copses, ponds, areas of scrub etc) cleverly balanced allowing the land to be used for farming whilst giving more connected space for Nature.
The thing I wasn’t expecting though was crossing cultural divides. Witnessing some of the farmers on twitter & in the media who repeat culture war bait about hating both Nature & urbanites in the countryside had coloured my impression of farmers more generally. However, our host Dave was so kind & welcoming to his land & seemed genuinely touched that we had come out to help plant & restore; the jar of homemade honey he gave to each of us was a wonderful reward for a weekend well spent.“

We read newspapers, watch TV commentary, see opinion polls, look at (often biased) Twitter/X comment. All contribute to our belief as to what might happen on Election Day. Beyond that, there is mere personal experience of one’s own local area; anecdotal, subjective.
I myself live in an area of coastal Hampshire known for being traditionally “safe” Conservative. The local MP is someone with some of whose views (eg on the Covid scamdemic/panicdemic) I can agree, but with whom I would not agree on other topics. He is also a very poor constituency MP— lazy, uncaring, and totally useless in fact, as a few people have told me after not having received help or even a polite acknowledgment from him.
In previous general elections, I have seen almost exclusively Conservative Party posters around, and one huge banner on a house in the nearby small town. This time, I think only one Conservative poster, and three or four LibDem ones. Unscientific, but is that a straw in the wind? Hard to say, but interesting all the same.
The incumbent MP has been there since the constituency was created in 1997. He has never scored below 50%, and received well over 60% in both 2017 and 2019. Labour usually come third (second in 2017) here, and the LibDems (usually second-placed, though fourth behind Con, UKIP and Labour in 2015) had their best result in 1997 (27.8%).
In other words, it would take a political earthquake, maybe a political meteorite strike, to displace the Conservative here…and yet…and yet…
I may be reading too much into the presence or otherwise of political posters put up locally, but it occurred to me that the Conservative Party in the constituency has (perhaps) few volunteers now. The average age of Con Party members in this constituency must be around 80 if not 90. Does the presence of a few LibDem posters indicate a local upsurge, or just a single diligent volunteer?
How big the Reform UK vote here will be on 4 July 2024 is uncertain. UKIP scored 16.9% in 2015, though far less prior to that. Since 2015, there has been no broadly “national” party standing, and no social-national party has ever stood here.

Farage and Reform UK to merge with the Cons within 14 days? That sounds ludicrous. If it were to happen, in the 12 days left, it would just be a replay of 2019, when Farage stabbed his own party in the back; with one big difference, though— in 2019, Farage’s back-stab meant that instead of a likely hung Parliament, “Boris”-idiot was able to get an 80-seat Commons majority. In this General Election, the surrounding situation is very different.
Were the predicted merger to occur, and if Farage then urged voters to vote Con in many constituencies, all that would happen would be that Labour would still win overall, but with a majority of maybe 100+ instead of maybe 300. Of course, that would save perhaps 100 or 150 Con Party seats. It would also destroy whatever credibility Farage still seems to have with many people.
After any such merger, I suppose that the idea would be that Sunak would lose the election, resign, disappear from view, and that a leadership election would then anoint Farage as leader of the Con/Reform party.
Not totally impossible, arguably, but very unlikely. Reform UK is on a roll. Brexit Party had all wind taken out of its sails by Farage’s treachery in 2019. The same would happen today. It might even help Labour more than Reform UK fighting on as at present. After all, all the Reform UK candidates are now on the ballot papers.
The only way the predicted merger would work would be if Sunak and Farage were to announce a list of which seats would be “gifted” to Reform UK, but the candidates would still have to remain nominally in place.
That prediction to me sounds like nonsense. After the election might be a different story, were Reform UK to have 5-10 MPs in the Commons, and the Cons 50-100. However, once Reform UK merged with the Cons, and after (if it were to happen) Farage were elected to lead the merged parties, then what? The surviving Con MPs would be not a good match with the new Reform UK MPs; apple and orange. What could they offer the public? Con Party policies but with more emphasis on immigration? Sounds underwhelming.
Never say never, but I cannot see it as likely. If, however, it were to happen, it might yet open the door, on the flank, to real social-national people. “Always look on the bright side of life“.
As to that Gewolb individual’s views on UK interest rates, I do not have the economic background to assess them.

The Conservative Party is dying on its feet right in front of us. I really cannot see Farage wanting to ally himself with a party that, in another metaphor, is sinking below the waves. Not even after the election.
I notice that the Sky News “Chief Political Correspondent”, one Jon Craig, has been wheeled out to write a piece on the Sky News website about how “vile” Farage was to speak the truth about the Ukraine situation, i.e. that NATO has steadily advanced across Eastern Europe since the 1990s, thus destabilizing the NATO-Russia status quo.
Interesting language…”vile“— reminiscent of the language used by “the usual suspects” (((them)))…
The System may be getting or feeling seriously threatened by Reform UK, and is trying to use attack propaganda to weaken Farage’s appeal.
Craig claims that most “Britons” support “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime). I doubt it. Look at the comments section of the Daily Mail.
There is something going on here, with System scribblers, talking heads, and both “Labour” and “Conservative” Friends of Israel MPs all attacking Farage.
I have just heard the news on my car radio. Farage’s comments about the Ukraine situation were prominently displayed. I wonder, though, whether the Kiev regime is as popular with the people as it is with pseudo-“elite” deadheads such as Ben Wallace (former Con MP) and the Labour Friends of Israel drones. I think not.
In any case, few if any will now decide not to vote for Reform UK just because of a few comments about NATO.
Using, as always, Electoral Calculus, I make that a House of Commons with 468 Labour MPs —overall majority of 286, Con 67, LibDem 63, SNP 20, Reform UK 6, Plaid 4, Greens 2 (etc). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.
If you're from England this hits you on multiple levels. Very well done.
I agree, in principle, with the vast majority of that, about 90%. Only social nationalism will actually “do de job”, though. Reform UK is too finance-capitalistic, too pro-Israel, not quite what I would ever support as a destination (rather than as a means to an end).
Today is the UK msm “hit Farage” day, it seems. “Ukraine”, NHS etc etc. Anything to get the Reform UK vote down. I doubt that it will work.

“Germany is no longer the same” – Orban chastised Berlin for the failure of migration policy.
Before his visit to Berlin, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized modern Germany. He said that the country had even lost its former smell, clearly making fun of its problem with migration, writes The Daily Telegraph. “Germany no longer has the taste it used to have. She doesn’t smell like she used to anymore. This whole Germany is no longer the Germany that our grandparents and parents set as an example for us,” the politician said in an interview before a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Orbán also said that Germany was once a country of “order,” “well-organized work” and “hard-working people.” But now, he noted, citing the German newspaper Die Welt, Germany is a “colorful, changed, multicultural world” where migrants are “no longer guests.” “This is a very big change,” summed up the head of the Hungarian government.“
Late thoughts about GE 2024
If reports are to be believed, 20% of voters have either not made up their minds as to how they will vote, or have not decided whether they will vote at all.
The 20% equates to thousands of eligible voters in every constituency.
It is also reported that as many as 175 seats are in very close contest now, more than a quarter of all seats.
I have speculated previously whether there is, or is not, a bloc of “secret Reform UK voters”, people who may not admit to leaning towards Reform UK if asked. I do not know the answer to that, and neither do I know its size if it exists, but if that bloc does exist, and if it mostly votes Reform UK on the day, then all bets are off, because there just might be a political meteorite strike on the 4th of July…
If people are all identical, they need no law, no order; it is all automatic. The more “diverse” the society, the more law is necessary, the more that order has to be imposed externally, unless the individuals are of such elevation that they can order themselves as a group entity.
In practice, at the present time, we see that the UK has few characteristics of homogenous unity, or in the German term, Volksgemeinschaft. Folk-community. All the aspects of a society are, in *this* society, pulling apart “community”: race, religion, economics, politics, language, even age and sex (meaning male/female, which is fraught enough, but now there are a dozen other “possibilities”, like the Eskimos having 30 words for “snow”).“
[remarks by me, from a discussion with others on the blog about 5 years ago]
In fact, here was another reply I made to a commentator on the same day in 2019 as the above remarks, but on other topics:
“Thank you. As to some of your points: 1. The SNP is the faux-nationalist party par excellence in the UK. Immigration fine, Scottish future population black, brown, Muslim…also fine. “Scottish” = “born in Scotland or just living there” as distinct from descended by blood. The SNP wants to decriminalize drug abuse, criminalize the “wrong” opinions etc. How cheaply the votes o the Scottish people are bought! Free prescriptions, free hospital parking etc (not that I oppose either of those), and in return give up your freedom of expression, turn your poorer people into mixed-race human material, as well as “hoes”, drug-abusers and degenerates; I noticed some time ago that Police Scotland is entirely under a Jew-Masonic thumb; 2. This did not come out of nowhere.The SNP was founded around 1930 or so, but did not get 1 MP until 1970, and only had a tiny group until 2015. However, the fault is not, in origo, in the SNP itself, but the way in which the SNP has obviously been taken over in the past decade or so. The other System parties in Scotland seem useless anyway. 3. As you say, the police have been turned, all over the UK, into something scarcely recognizable. At ground level, shouting mercenaries with H&K weapons, tattoos and stubble; at the senior level, public-relations-advised Common Purpose members, often women, full of anti-“racism” and anti-“sexism” “initiatives”. 4. Meanwhile, real crime goes almost unaddressed. I was watching a documentary about the con-man (now in prison) Ross Acklom. One lady conned by him went to Gloucestershire Police, who advised her to fill in a form online. Even when she told them that she had lost everything she owned, they were useless (she turned to an investigative journalist). They did not even send a detective to talk to her!“
In my opinion, those comments of mine (except for the name of the said con-man who was, in fact, called Mark Acklom) have held up rather well in the succeeding four and a half years, nicht wahr?

“I grew up on a Council Estate and never once questioned my parents income, it was never a discussion.
We didn’t eat a lot of fast food because it was considered a treat, not a food group. We ate homemade meals consisting of meat, potatoes and vegetables – (which were not an optional choice). No vegetables, no dessert!!!
We grew up during a time when we mowed lawns, pulled weeds, babysat, helped neighbours with chores to be able to earn our own money. We by no means were given everything we wanted.
We went outside a lot to play, ride bikes, run with friends, play hide and seek, or went swimming. We rarely just sat inside.
Bottled water was unheard of. If we had a coke, it was in a glass bottle and we didn’t break the bottle when finished. We saved it and cashed it back in at the shops for a sweet. After school, we came home and did homework and chores, before going outside or having friends over.
We would ride our bikes for hours. We had to tell our parents where we were going, who we were going with and be home when the street lights came on! You LEARNED from your parents instead of disrespecting them and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing. What they said was LAW and you did not question it and you had better know it! We watched what we said around our elders because we knew if we DISRESPECTED any grown-up, we would get a real telling off, it wasn’t called abuse, it was called discipline!
We held doors, carried the shopping and gave up our seat for an older person without being asked. You didn’t hear swear words on the radio in songs or TV. “Please and Thank you”, were part of our daily vocabulary!
The world we live in now is just so full of people who hate and disrespect others.
Consider Re-posting if you’re thankful for your childhood. I will never forget where I came from and only wish children nowadays had half the chance at the fun and respect for real life we grew up with! And we were never ever ever ever bored.”
Despite not having been brought up on a council estate, and occasionally being bored as a child (usually when forced to visit relatives with my parents), and never having had to do many chores (or any babysitting), I can say that much of the rest of the above statement might echo my own early-mid 1960s English childhood, when I was 5-10 years old [b.1956].
Gideon Falter, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, and their lies
Far-right Zionist agitator, Gideon Falter is a Vice-Chair at the JNF (illegal settlement funders)
As noted yesterday, LBC is owned by a Jew-Zionist-owned company…
…but what is the BBC’s (Radio 4 Today Programme’s) excuse?
Listening now to the full account of the "openly Jewish" incident it is apparent that Gideon Falter was angling for an incident just like this. And an officer eventually provided it. Worth looking at the @CST_UK statement
Falter, as noted on the blog yesterday, is a liar, and someone indeed who has previously lied on oath in court.
Falter’s “Campaign Against Antisemitism” colleague, Stephen Silverman, who gloated from the back of the court as I was convicted on contrived charges under the absurdly-badly-drafted Communications Act 2003, s.127 last November, had previously, in 2021, made a totally untrue allegation of “racial harassment” against me, which resulted in police appearing at my door (though in the end, no charges were brought, for the simple reason that there was no evidence whatsoever, not even any cooked-up by Silverman).
Silverman should have been charged in 2021 or 2022 with an attempted perversion of the course of justice (I suppose that he still could be, in theory), or at least wasting police time (though that latter option would have had to have been brought to charge within 6 months of the false allegation). That is even without consideration of his former online trolling behaviour (using pseudonyms to intimidate people online, mainly women). An incompetent “CAA” lawyer admitted to that behaviour in open court about 6 years ago, in one of the hearings involving another “CAA” target, the satirical singer Alison Chabloz.
Why are these lying Jew-Zionists so often apparently immune from police action? Why is “justice” so often a one-way street in England? The impression given is that “the fix is in” when it comes to the Israel lobby’s activities…
Kevin,Gideon Falter staged the whole episode. Why didn’t you push back on the lies spouted by @SuellaBraverman? Here’s Falter with his security guards and a cameraman,waiting to disrupt the peace march. 👇 The man is a fraud! 🤬 pic.twitter.com/WYqj3lGarl
As frequently blogged in the past, faux-proletarian Kevin Maguire is just another puppet of the UK Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, as seen on those ridiculously-staged Punch and Judy “debates” on Sky News with that other puppet, Andrew Pierce.
British Jews ARE completely safe. It's the likes of Gideon Falter who have been giving a false impression because he has an agenda to get the marches banned. Many politicians are colluding with the CAA, an obvious example being Cruella and even Sunak. #ItWasAScamhttps://t.co/QoRp2gEqQA

Simon Myerson does that a lot.
Given how badly he conducts himself on social media, you are fortunate.
Myerson should be relieved of his position as a "Recorder" (part-time judge).https://t.co/VRSZTSj5cf
For more about Myerson, his toxic social media activities, and his unprofessional attitude, see this blog on previous days.
Ten o’clock in the morning, and Myerson has already tweeted 19 times. Obsessed. He should not be sitting as a Recorder (if he still is after all the complaints against him). In fact, if I was disbarred (as I was, in 2016, after a Jew-Zionist campaign against me) for having tweeted 5 supposedly offensive tweets (out of about 150,000 altogether), then Myerson should surely be disbarred as well.
Lord John Mann attacking Gideon Falter and the Campaign Against Antisemitism, accusing them of having other objectives and not playing it straight.
Hard to believe! Even “Lord” John Mann, that longstanding puppet of the Israel lobby, and former MP, is now openly criticizing Falter and the other liars of the “CAA” cabal! Brilliant.
Rachel Johnson– part-Jewish, like her brother Boris-Idiot.
Falter is obviously not respected even by fellow-Jews, indeed even by fellow-Zionists (Jews and non-Jews). He seems to be someone who, without any known business or profession, is using his inherited or trust-fund money to push himself into a leadership position among Jews resident in the UK, but his attempts just do not wash. People, not least Jews, either dislike him, or laugh at him, or both.

Falter is patently dishonest. Why is he (and his malicious little “organization”, a tiny and self-selected handful of Jews out of 250,000+ Jews in the UK), given any credence at all by Sky, BBC, LBC, the mainstream Press, and the little Indian money-juggler presently posing as Prime Minister?
Gideon Falter has really come away from this looking like a pathetic human being who tried and failed to play a victim card against the MET. I had no idea the Campaign Against Antisemitism was actually a lobby group. They are thus binned from this point.
Hello @ChtyCommission. I believe you are already investigating the Campaign Against Antisemitism. Surely its time to strip this fake charity of its charitable status. https://t.co/C6KXUG6Wp6

Quite plausible. Certainly a trained security man/bodyguard. Look at his head moving round, scanning the nearby crowd through dark glasses.
🚨 NEW: After the Gideon Fawlty fiasco I am told Starmer has instructed all staff to not engage with the Campaign Against Antisemitism. CAA are seen as a bunch of attention seekers by Labour Leader and Establishment Jewish Community Groups. 🧵
It would take more than that to make me like Starmer, but good move, anyway.

A reminder why John Lydon is one of the Greatest Living Britons 👏🏻🇬🇧
Twitter/X is now full of idiots saying that Lydon is “wrong“, “gammon“, a “hypocrite” (because his family was Irish—as if that is equivalent to being a Congolese or Afghan…) etc.
All one has to do is remember that active Twitter/X is a very small world (perhaps 1% of the British people, and very atypical, which is why its “woke” apparent majority always gets it wrong politically, from the result of the Brexit Referendum to Trump’s first Presidential election to (you name it).
Amazing that people are somehow surprised at all. The economy was deliberately (and for no good reason) largely shut down for two years, and by Government decree, during which time millions of people were paid to stay home watching TV, or drinking, or paid to work (at well below peak capacity) from home.
At the same time, and over recent years, half a million to a million useless parasites per year, from all over the world, have been imported to the UK as fake “students”, “high-skilled workers” (Indians who can work a computer), “family members”, fake fiances/fiancees etc, and/or allowed to stay having come here illegally on small boats. Most of them supported entirely from Government funds.
That is in addition to vast sums wasted otherwise during the panicdemic/scamdemic: “test and trace”, “PPE” etc.
Britain continues to go down, both economically and socially. Look at the cities: people sleeping in the streets, which are overrun anyway with unwanted migrant hordes from all over the world. In the countryside, the roads are like those I recall from driving in Bulgaria and Greece etc 20-25 years ago; potholed, poorly-surfaced and, unlike those of Bulgaria or Turkey decades ago, overcrowded.
Then look at the UK’s police (who prefer to snoop on bloggers and Twitter/X accounts rather than do their proper job), or the NHS (which is almost a skeleton service).
Oh, and the Jew Shapps was in Kiev on Thursday, throwing more British taxpayer monies at Zelensky’s brutal, corrupt, and shambolic dictatorship, which is about to be flattened by a Russian steamroller.
Quite a contrast to Mr. Komissarenko [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko], the Ukrainian Ambassador to London in the mid-1990s, with whom I travelled one fine day to the highly-guarded Porton Down microbiological laboratories on Salisbury Plain. I blogged about that a couple of times, so anyone interested can find my account on the blog via the search box.
About 29 years ago. How time flies.
It also occurs to me that almost all the Ukrainians, of all social/educational levels, I have met (admittedly not a huge number) have been very full of their own importance; that was certainly the case with Komissarenko.

The Jew Shapps is both mendacious and, at the same time, a total clown. Ukraine (Kiev regime) in fact cannot “win” against Russia, even to the extent of “taking back” Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk oblasts. If there were even a possibility of it, Russia could and probably would flatten all major Ukrainian cities.
Shapps is, of course, also lying when he calls Ukraine “a democracy“. Brutal, shambolic, corrupt; a country where press-gangs kidnap men off the streets for use as army cannon-fodder, and where young girls who are caught stealing lipsticks etc are almost “tarred and feathered”, tied to lamp-posts while people assault and insult them. A country where elections are now banned, as are trade unions and all free speech.

I would reverse the order of that tweet. Yes, Balfour did what it says (possibly for a cash bribe; he was also mentally unstable) but I cannot condone the destruction of real art which is also of historical importance. I also tend to think that someone who can damage a valuable and historically-significant painting is probably capable of doing a great deal worse.

Watched a pretty good episode of Endeavour. The only silly thing about it, as with other drama series of recent years set in the 1960s (Inspector George Gently etc) , 1950s and 1940s (Grantchester etc) is the number of blacks and other non-whites shown. People today under the age of about 50 will of course have little notion that what they are being shown is a false picture. Cambridge in 1950, Oxford in 1968, had few black or other non-white individuals, except a few foreign students.
The TV series Vera, very entertaining, and set in contemporary Newcastle on Tyne, yet has the same false narrative running through it. Even today, the North East is a fairly white British region, yet in Vera every second major character is non-white.
Of course, this is no accident. Again, all part of the propaganda barrage around the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Older people see the falsity, but those much under 50, and especially the under-30s, probably have little idea exactly how false is the picture of Britain shown, particularly the Britain of the 1960s etc.
The aim? To normalize a UK society largely non-white.
Incidentally, Endeavour, made 2012-2021 and set in the 1960s and early 1970s, is a prequel to Inspector Morse, made 1987-2000 and set in the 1980s and 1990s.
Tellingly, however, the Oxford of Inspector Morse contains far fewer blacks and browns than that of Endeavour, made later but set 20-30 years before!

That refers to just one of “Jack Monroe’s” fraudulent claims, years ago in this case, i.e. that she had been diagnosed with cancer. Well-meaning but silly people sent her money on the back of that. Where are the police? Are they too busy snooping on “antisemitic” social media posts, or seizing politically-incorrect teddy bears?

That one refers to yet another “Jack Monroe” lie, that she was “working on” something called the “Vimes Boots Index” to measure the higher inflation rate pertaining to basic or staple items in supermarkets. In reality, that “Index” has never existed except as something she said as part of the overall “Jack Monroe” “poverty” and food “expert” scam.
Jack Monroe once again failing to realise lies like this can be shot down by FOI request, just like the Essex Celebrity Police Squad lies and previous ONS lies. https://t.co/fT8x9M5hpn

“…he thinks schools, universities and employers should actively discriminate against white applicants, purely because of their skin colour and their inherited guilt. Never mind that, say, a little girl born in the 21st century can hardly be blamed for the history of slavery. For Kendi, the mere fact of her genetic heritage is enough to damn her.
The second example is even more shocking. This is a chart produced in 2020 by the National Museum of African American History and Culture — part of the Smithsonian Institution, probably the most prestigious U.S. educational body of all.
The chart gives examples of ‘whiteness’ and ‘white culture’, which it clearly regards with disapproval. Sinister aspects of ‘white culture’ apparently include ‘hard work’, ‘self-reliance’, ‘the nuclear family’, ‘competition’, ‘delayed gratification’ and even ‘rigid time schedules’.
In just the first three weeks of this year, the NHS advertised for 19 ‘diversity and sustainability’ posts, with a combined salary of a cool £1 million. Indeed, in total the NHS in England alone employs an estimated 800 diversity and inclusion officers, costing a staggering £40 million a year.“

As I have blogged previously, for me there are two main issues that stand out: firstly, at some point (and as Elon Musk has mentioned), AI gets to the point whereby it takes over the reins of its own evolution, no longer requiring, or even permitting, human decision-making to control that; secondly, AI may become so pervasive that it becomes almost impossible for any individual human being, or for humanity as a group, to live without it.
That is already to a large extent so in relation to, inter alia, mobile telephones, online access, debit/credit cards etc. Yes, you can live without internet access, without a mobile telephone (I have not had one for many years), without debit or credit cards etc, but it gets harder every month to live “off-grid” in that way.
Once cash becomes a medium of exchange used only by the marginalized, and not used much in supermarkets, larger shops etc, the System/matrix will have almost power of life and death over citizens.

It was largely an invention of the western media but then grew a life of its own to the extent that people such as Adam Kinzinger believed it to be true.

I have already blogged a few times about my visit to the UK’s Porton Down “biolab” campus in Wiltshire in or about 1995, accompanying the then Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK; incidentally or co-incidentally, he was a trained scientist in the field(s) of biochemistry, microbiology etc: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko.

Ukrainian General Krivonos: The Armed Forces of Ukraine are experiencing a shortage of shells and will soon be counted individually, if mass deliveries from Western countries do not begin.
The sooner the Kiev regime runs out of arms, ammunition, and personnel, the better. Russia can take over Kiev and eastern Ukraine (east of the Dnieper) and start the work of rebuilding the damaged areas. Ukrainians (and Russians in Ukraine) live, in general, with lower living standards than Russians, certainly Russians from central or Baltic Russia (Moscow, Petersburg etc), and (as Putin has recently said) should be helped to a better standard of living.
Ukrainian police act as a press-gang, trying to force random and unwilling young men to become soldiers in Zelensky’s war.
The founder of the PMC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin turned to the commander of the ground forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky. The reason was the information that Zelensky demanded that Syrsky hold Artyomovsk until May 9.

Interesting. I have blogged a few times about the day in 1994 or 1995 (I think 1995) when I visited the partly-privatized but still heavily-guarded Porton Down biolab campus in Wiltshire, UK, with the then Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, a trained scientist who was later both a Presidential candidate and director of a biochemistry and biosecurity institute in Ukraine [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko].
Many Russians know what’s happening. This 92yo woman says TV has brainwashed Russians to hate the West, support Putin & act like animals in Ukraine. Asked why she’s not brainwashed, she says, “I’ve lived thru 4 wars. I can think critically & analyze.”pic.twitter.com/rtdUCts3sp
Well, OK, but that old woman can express her views freely on the streets of (?) Moscow, and have them broadcast without repercussions. If she had been in Kiev, and had opposed the regime of the corrupt Jew Zelensky, she would probably, almost certainly, have been arrested; the interview would certainly not be broadcast or allowed to be put on social media. Everyone involved would be arrested.
So who is “brainwashed“? The Western msm is more or less brainwashing people in the UK, USA etc, though many are “thinking for themselves” and not supporting the war or the Kiev regime.

I do think Jeremy Hunt is sounding dangerously out of touch with much of the country. Families are not experiencing a "pinch" – it's the sharpest decline in living standards since the 1950s.
As I blogged yesterday, Jeremy Hunt seems to have a political cloth ear.
Goodwin’s tweet about “1950s” is not quite right though. “1940s” would be better. It is a linguistic point. The 1950s were when Britain began to exit from the terrible privation of the unnecessary war against the German Reich. The poverty of Britain was actually worse in the decade (and especially the 5 years) after the end of the war than it had been during that misconceived war. The decline in living standards during the war itself lurched lower in 1946, 1947 and did not improve, substantially, until about 1954 or 1955. The last remnants of WW2 rationing ended in 1955.
Incidentally, it is interesting to note that many poorer Brits actually had a better diet during WW2 rationing than they had had in the prewar 1930s.
Some of the (pro-immigration) replies to Goodwin’s tweet are unintentionally hilarious: idiots saying that the UK “needs” immigrants, that the UK is not “full” (despite housing covering more of our green fields daily), and one pro-invasion tweeter (one of the most vituperative) who lives on the Costa Tropical in Spain!
I think there a is a very strong consensus that this and the reduction of BBC World Service output is a serious mistake. I wonder who made the call.
According to some tweets I saw, the decision was made by some black woman, by name Lorna Clarke: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/lorna-clarke-3a19b415. She, it seems, is actually the “BBC Director, Music” and formerly “Head of Rock and Pop“.
“How has this been allowed to happen? Early last year, the BBC’s music review recommended an extraordinary restructure. Alan Davey, the recently departed controller of BBC Radio 3 and the Proms, ceased to have direct responsibility for the classical ensembles that are now under the control of former head of rock and pop Lorna Clarke, while [Simon] Webb, the former director of the BBC Philharmonic, is the new head of orchestras and choirs in England.
The BBC’s timing is as calculated as its strategy is callous: ensembles struggling to recover from the pandemic, exhausted from keeping the show on the road throughout, three of the ensembles without a permanent director and all contractually gagged. There is not one single champion for classical music left at the BBC in any position of power or influence. Herod has been left minding the creche.
I no longer know if the BBC is a public service broadcaster; I don’t recognise it any more, or its values. If it no longer exists to do that which others cannot or will not, then what is it for? After 23 years of constant change, the ensembles of the BBC have never been more agile, flexible or willing to adapt, and they represent tremendous value for money in the grand scheme of the BBC’s budget and our licence-fee payment.
The role of cultural patron is not optional, and the responsibilities as custodian of music ensembles do not give the BBC permission to dispose of and dismantle them without serious public discussion, not to mention honest, transparent internal debate. The values and behaviour of what we are told repeatedly is “our BBC” must matter to all of us as much as the content.”

None of that will happen, of course.

“Brexit” was not a mistake, as such, but it was completely incompetently done (possibly deliberately, as well, in part). The UK should have cut itself adrift from EU rules and laws and policies, kept or “nationalized” those that made sense, jettisoned the rest, then joined with Russia in a special trading relationship— the UK stands aside from active participation in NATO and, in return, gets free or cheap oil and gas from Russia.

The Bakhmut/Artyomovsk battle has become a trial of strength extremely important for the morale of both sides.
All the same, if Russian forces lose out, Russia can still step up its war operations generally in Ukraine with more destructive methods yet, in theory right the way up to nuclear ICBMs. Ukraine or Kiev-regime commanders cannot; they have no such weapons. The most for which they can hope is relatively few high-grade Western weapons such as fighter aircraft and Abrams tanks, the capabilities of which latter are phenomenal— what would Rommel or Guderian not have given for such tanks in the early/mid 1940s?

Since the loss of Soledar and the high ground around Bakhmut, Ukrainian casualties are almost 1:1 with Russian casualties. Feeding units into fixed positions around the city has led to heavy Ukr losses. The political/symbolic decision to hold Bakhmut is overriding military sense.
Interesting, especially if the ratio is accurate. Yesterday, it was all “one Ukrainian [Kiev-regime] fighter killed for every seven Russians“, but today it seems that the losses are equal on both sides,
I wonder whether that 1:7 ratio claim was part of the propaganda pumped out saying that the Kiev-regime soldiers are some kind of elite (not very plausible from what I see on Twitter and in the UK msm), whereas the Russian soldiers are “orcs” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orc].
The aim of the Kiev regime here (as also with much of the UK/US “reportage”, if it can be called that), is to dehumanize the Russian soldiers. We see little or nothing from the Russian side of the conflict in the msm; even on Twitter etc, the Kiev-regime has “played a blinder” in propaganda terms compared to the stolid offerings of the Russian Foreign Ministry and the unsophisticated social media output of individual Russian tweeters.
One notes that (up to ministerial level, i.e. tweets by government ministers) the Kiev regime notes not only the damage done to civilians (by Russians, never by pro-Kiev Ukrainians), and also tweets about abandoned or rescued cats and dogs. The aim is obviously to capture the hearts of Western readers (the tweets have English subtitles).
I am 100% in favour of the cats and dogs, and indeed those helping them, as far as that goes, but there are probably as many doing that on the Russian side (in Donetsk etc); we never hear or see anything about that.
As I say, the Kiev-regime side is far more sophisticated in terms of propaganda aimed at the West (even/especially when appearing to be artless) than the Russian side.
Compare the cultural history of Russia and Ukraine. For whatever reason, Russia has a far more complex and rich cultural background than Ukraine: music, literature, philosophy etc. Yet the Russians are, supposedly, the “orcs“…

If Russian forces can complete the encirclement of Bakhmut/Artyomovsk, they may capture thousands of Kiev-regime troops; even if the latter escape encirclement, they would be all but spent, and would have to slowly straggle northward. Whether the Russian forces could then make a big advance is, however, an open question.

While everyone's reading in the MSM about the government "scaring the pants" off the country, let's remember it was the same MSM that published all the scares. Complicit.
I was going to publish a separate piece about the upcoming by-election, but have decided that that would not be merited.
Chester, as a settlement, has a history going back to 79 AD, when it was established as a Roman fortress: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester.
The City of Chester constituency also has a very old history, going back to the times of Henry VIII. In modern times, meaning 19th/20th centuries, it has mostly been a Conservative/Unionist seat, though electing Labour Party candidates in 1997, 2001, 2005, 2015, 2017, and 2019. Two Labour MPs in that time, with a Conservative in the years 2010-2015: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Chester_(UK_Parliament_constituency).
The by-election will be held on 1 December 2022, 8 days from today, and is the first by-election in the constituency since 1956.
The MP from 2015 to 2022 had to resign by reason of sexual scandal.
The candidates declared are: Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat; also, Reform UK, Green, Freedom Alliance, UKIP, Rejoin EU, and the inevitable Monster Raving Loony.
This is likely to be a straight fight between Lab and Con, looking at previous elections. The LibDems have in the past scored as high as 21.9% (in 2005); since 2010 they have always received less than 10% of the vote (6.8% in 2019), and have never managed better than 3rd place (even in 2005).
Labour, nationwide, is clearly on a roll at present, if only by default. The latest YouGov poll (on 17 November 2022) of (UK-wide) voting intention put Labour on 48%, Conservative 25%, LibDem 10%, and both Green and Reform UK on 5%.
Despite the scandal attaching to the former MP, I cannot see that affecting the result. As a matter of fact, both Con and Lab are putting up female candidates, though that may be co-incidental.
There seems little to prevent Labour winning this by-election, and winning it easily. Not only is the present Con government extremely unpopular, but Labour has, after all, won in this constituency the past three times, and held it for 20 out of the past 25 years.
I cannot see the LibDems getting far here, even as some kind of unfocussed protest vote. As for Reform UK, the only other contender of interest, they may or may not save their deposit. I could see them, just about, getting 5%; I cannot see them getting 10% or more, especially now that Brexit is not so popular, having been badly mishandled over the past 6 years.
The main interest in the contest will be in the percentage(s) of the vote received by the two main contenders.

The above tweet was about the “@GuardianLive” tweet featuring “Jack Monroe” as booked to appear on a podcast event in early 2023, which tweet has now been deleted. Now we hear that that podcast itself has been axed.
Seems that “Jack Monroe” is, as predicted, becoming “mad, bad, and dangerous to know“…
Even so, the 667 “mugs” on Patreon are, as of today, still giving her their monthly donations for doing absolutely nothing except maintaining her lifestyle, e.g. buying herself luxury goods. Somewhere between c.£2,300 a month and (at maximum) £40,000 a month. In reality, probably about £6,000, at an educated guess. In cash (minus Patreon fees), and every single month. All that and she still poses as a “champion of the poor“! Hard to believe that so many people are so very gullible; yet they have been told now for three or four months that they are just wasting their money.
As said previously on the blog, I myself have no objection to Scotland declaring faux-“independence”, but those voting for it must accept lower living standards, and an end to UK subsidy.
As the tweeter says, just look at them! Can they really bring Scotland a new dawn? I think not.
As for Nicola Sturgeon, she is a ghastly little would-be dictator with no interesting ideas (that I have seen).
The flotsam and jetsam of the world is assisted to come here, destroying our society, and is kept in comfort (most of them), while British people suffer. Not only mad, but also evil. [Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan].
Whatever the relevance of that, can anyone look at those uninspiring people and imagine that they will be able to usher in a new age of prosperity and enlightenment in Scotland?
In any case, it seems that Scotland is still split about 50-50 on “Independence”, with possibly more wanting to retain the Union.
However, even if there were a small majority for “Independence”, would that be valid, really? To drag the other, say 45%, into an unwanted break with England and the other regions or countries? After over 300 years?

Of course, the absurd playground taunts of the two sides in the present conflict (“you are the ‘Nazi'”; “no, you are the ‘Nazi’“) are just silly.
Actually, the German Army in WW2, despite the pitiless nature of that war in the East, behaved well, mostly, in Ukraine, certainly better than the Red Army. Most atrocities were committed either by the Red Army (or by the forces travelling alongside them— the NKVD and, latterly, Smersh), or by Ukrainian auxiliaries under overall German command, or by Ukrainian civilians who just wanted to eliminate Jews, and who acted without either order or permission.

He later headed a major such laboratory in Ukraine, I think not far from Kiev.
