Talking point

An idealized but not really untruthful view of how parts of England were in the 1950s, or even early 1960s, if you forget the 1930s-style bus in the background.

Incidentally, I was watching a “true crime” documentary about a series of appalling murders carried out by some crazed half-caste in the mid-1980s, the “Stockwell Strangler” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Erskine], who, incidentally, is still detained in a mental hospital.

What struck me as much as anything is how smart the uniformed police still looked back then; one forgets. No beards, no stubble, no tattoos, and wearing shirts and ties and neat uniforms. What a contrast to the often untidy-looking rabble they (especially in London?) are today, with their beards and tattoos.

A parody very close to the truth.

Sometimes, as I navigate along the potholed and badly-patched highways in the area where I live (supposedly one of the most affluent in England), thinking about things, I think that this country is so ****** that only some kind of very radical, indeed revolutionary, change will be able to give it a decent future.

Our animal friends…

The very picture of self-regarding entitlement. I wrote an assessment of Rory Stewart several years ago, and much-updated since: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/03/will-rory-stewart-mp-be-prime-minister/.

Needless to say, my views on the current migration-invasion are not unalike to those of Suella Braverman, but I do not need some Mauritian Indian bas-class import to tell me what to think. Anyway, she is married to a Jewish Zionist, and supports Israel to the hilt, so nein, danke!

“For Ukrainian troops, a difficult situation has developed on the battlefield, said the head of intelligence of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov in an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer. This is how he answered the journalist’s question whether the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to stop the advance of Russian troops.”

Will truth now start to break out in the newsrooms of the Western msm?

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

Kiev-regime “Ukraine” is not even a “failed state”— it is scarcely a state at all.

Huge numbers of Israeli Jews are dual passport-holders.

Clacton

“Nigel Farage is on course to win the Clacton seat with a 27 point lead in a devastating blow to the Conservatives.

The Clacton Constituency poll, conducted by JL Partners on behalf of Friderichs Advisory Partners, has Farage polling at 48 per cent while the Tory leader sits back at 21 per cent of the vote share.

Farage is leading in every age group apart from the 18 to 34-year-olds and only one in five 2019 Conservative voters are sticking to the party.“

[GB News]

I presume by “Tory leader“, GB News means “Conservative Party candidate“(?), unless the reference is to Sunak in his Richmond (Yorkshire) constituency.

I predicted previously on the blog that the Labour candidate at Clacton would bomb, maybe even losing his deposit. Let’s see.

Even the Sun “newspaper” has given up on the Sunak government.

Yes, 800 a day crossing the Channel, being ferried most of the way by the bloody “Border Force” farce and others, such as the RNLI, but what about the other invaders, 4,000+ per day, coming in quasi-“legally”?

Starmer-Labour will stop the smaller influx, the “small boats” influx, to a large extent, by simply rubberstamping 90% or more of the applications before they even get here, doing it in France, after which the invaders will simply get onto a ferry in Calais and will be here 2-3 hours later.

Both System parties are complicit, and are facilitating the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

I do not think that I can be accused of being overly pro-Arab, let alone pro-Islamist, and I might be induced to agree that the attack on Israel in October 2023 should not have happened (for the good of all sides), but what Israel has done since then has been utterly abhorrent, and it continues to do the same or similar.

Exactly.

I once had a slim volume containing details of many “antisemitic” persons of artistic, scientific and other intellectual prominence in history. Too many to list here, but including Chopin, Schumann, and hundreds of others.

I believe that booklet had been compiled by Hilaire Belloc, but I may be mistaken in that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilaire_Belloc.

Britain 2024— roads full of holes and poor surfacing, patched slightly here and there. A million unwanted immigrants a year flooding in. Living standards being slashed. Poor pay for most workers, and another round of attacks on the unemployed, disabled and sick. Almost nothing in the administrative realm working properly. Free speech under unprecedented attack by the Jew-Zionist/pro-Israel lobby, with Government connivance. The NHS sinking ever-deeper into a situation where, in some areas, it is scarcely a health service at all.

Meanwhile the misgovernment of the little Indian money-juggler posing as a Prime Minister sends arms and ammunition to the dictatorship of the Jewish tyrant in Kiev, and entangles the UK in the wars of the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

What price “democracy”? Get rid of Sunak and his Cabinet of clowns, and the only result is that a pseudo-Labour “elected” dictatorship under Israel puppet will carry on in a similar way; maybe worse. Freedom of expression will be destroyed even more, Israel and the Jewish lobby will be supported even more, and the Kiev regime will be propped up even more.

In effect, the UK will swap a Conservative Friends of Israel misgovernment for a Labour Friends of Israel cabal misgovernment.

By all means clear out Conservative Party MPs. They deserve it. Vote elsewhere, or at least do not vote Conservative, but do not imagine that anything will change for the better under Labour.

“Is anyone going to point out the absurdity of Jessica Elgot, one of The Guardian’s most prominent Zionists – along with Jonathan Freedland – writing an extremely mild ‘exposé’ of the rapidly Zionist CAA. The purpose appears to be to undermine them on behalf of Margaret Hodge and John Mann, now that the CAA has outlived its usefulness to Hodge, who was formerly one of its patrons. Can we please have conflict of interest statements from Zionist journalists when they write about their beloved genocidal belief system and its real world manifestations?“

[“rabidly”, not “rapidly“, of course].

“It could take 14 years to clear debris in Gaza Israel’s military campaign against Gaza has reduced much of the narrow, coastal territory of 2.3 million people to a wasteland with most civilians homeless, hungry and at risk of disease. Pehr Lodhammar, senior officer at the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), told a briefing in Geneva that the war had left an estimated 37 million tonnes of debris in the widely urbanised, densely populated territory.“

cf. the Teufelsberg, or Devil’s Mountain, a hill in the former West Berlin, nearly 300 feet above the surrounding land, and created entirely from rubble brought from the devastated city several years after the end of the Second World War.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teufelsberg

From what one sees of Berlin today on TV etc, I find that I have no wish to visit the city. It might have been interesting to see, in the pre-1989 period, the contrast between East Berlin and West Berlin, but I never did, though I did see the southern part of the DDR (East Germany) in 1988, and I have seen (both pre-1989 and more recently) what was West Germany. I have blogged previously about my impressions.

Berlin has other, smaller, hills of that type. Some other German cities also have a Schuttberg or “debris mountain”, the larger ones called Trümmerberge (“rubble mountains”), though most are considerably smaller than the Teufelsberg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuttberg; they have been landscaped, “greened”, and are mostly not unaesthetic now.

Mirvis was born in South Africa, lived much of his life in Israel, but relocated to Ireland in the 1980s, and then to the UK in 1992: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephraim_Mirvis#Early_life_and_education.

Apparently, Mirvis is also trained as a Jewish butcher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephraim_Mirvis#Early_life_and_education;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shechita#Shochet.

“The Home Office considered appointing campaigner against antisemitism Gideon Falter as an adviser to its counter extremism unit but was warned against the appointment by the government’s antisemitism tsar.

The Guardian understands there were strong objections to Falter being offered the part-time civil service role advising the Commission for Countering Extremism (CCE) in 2022 and that John Mann told the then home secretary Suella Braverman he would quit if Falter was offered the post.

Falter told the Guardian: “These claims show a lack of understanding of how the Jewish community works. CAA works closely with CST, Shomrim [a volunteer-led security group that works with the strictly Orthodox Jewish community] and numerous other organisations.

“As part of our work we make complaints against antisemites in all walks of life…”

[The Guardian]

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/26/home-office-considered-antisemitism-campaigner-for-counter-extremism-unit

It is disgusting that this horrible little individual was ever considered for an official role. A liar and, some say, a perjurer, just like a couple of his self-publicizing colleagues.

Incidentally, I believe that the present Commissioner for Countering Extremism is Jewish.

As for Suella Braverman, thank God her time in the political limelight is probably over. A low-level barrister unaccountably selected/”elected” to the Commons and then, even less plausibly, appointed to Cabinet. She is what the Indians in her mother’s native Mauritius call —I have heard them say it— “bas-class“. Married to a Jew, and completely in the pocket of the Jewish/Zionist lobby and Israel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suella_Braverman.

Suella Braverman’s seat at Fareham is considered “safe”, but when the Conservative MP numbers are cut down at the General Election this year, Suella Braverman will just be one of about (?) 50 Conservative Party MPs left. No influence, and no political future except as a backbencher of a party which might even fail to become the official Opposition. I doubt that she will become the leader of that now very degraded party.

Looks as though more-powerful or more-influential Jews have told Falter to shut up and get back into his box.

God knows what group-karma is eventually going to come down the tracks at Israel, the Israelis, and all those outside Israel who support the quasi-genocide.

The idea that 500,000-1,000,000+ immigrants coming into the UK (mostly not via “small boats”) annually is in any way sustainable is just mad. This government has hugely increased immigration (hardly surprising…look at the Cabinet, composed largely of non-Europeans), and the Labour Friends of Israel government of Starmer, expected to start this year or early next year, will be even worse.

People look at their living standards plummeting, goods costing more, transport services, roads, NHS, schools etc getting worse, housing becoming totally unaffordable, but (in the case of many people) prefer to ignore the links between all of that and the tsunami of immigration.
