So far, we have seen the not very exciting Reform UK get recent opinion poll ratings of between 9% and 15%. Not enough to get any seats if spread out evenly across the country.
However, reading the latest reaction to the absurd “National Service” idea floated by Sunak (you can read my own thoughts about that on the blog for yesterday and the previous day), it occurs to me that Reform UK might, just, do better than the polls suggest.
We have seen, in the past, people too ashamed or embarrassed to say to polling staff that they support the Conservative Party; maybe that is true here too, and that a proportion of the “Don’t Know” responders (recently often a plurality of those responding) are really secret Reform UK supporters, or secret nationalist or semi-nationalist supporters, or just secretly angry people.
That may be completely wrong, and we shall only know on 5 July 2024, but I could imagine quite a few people, either on the 4th or, before that, when filling out postal voting forms, thinking, “so **** it!” and voting Reform UK out of anger, frustration, or a wish to hurt the Conservative Party clowns, or the System in general.
Just a thought…

That 124,227 is only about 5%, not even, of the whole migrant influx over the past 7 years (at least 3 million). Then add the births to all migrants. Unsustainable, and in fact catastrophic to the future of this country.

What the misnamed “Conservatives” have apparently not quite understood is that most Reform UK voters are not voting Reform with the serious idea of winning many —or even any— seats in the Commons. They are voting Reform as a massive howl of protest (cf. the Brexit Referendum) and/or to give the Conservative Party an equally massive kicking.

That Lazarus individual tweeted to another elderly Jew-Zionist woman several years ago that I (and someone else, of whom I had never even heard) should be given strychnine to drink. At the time, I could not be bothered to report it to the police, or even to Twitter, though “those” types mentioned themselves spend much of their time sneaking around and making malicious and contrived complaint to police and others.
There is a web of such “individuals” on Twitter/X, including most if not all of the accounts mentioned above, and mostly connected with the tiny but well-funded so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, itself a cabal which constantly “complains”, often using outright lies (as exposed recently when its “CEO”, Gideon Falter, made demonstrably false claims about the Metropolitan Police); the “CAA” also tries to suborn police and Crown Prosecution Service personnel.
Even the Jewish/Zionist lobby has turned against the “CAA” liars recently.
I myself was expelled from Twitter/X in 2018 by reason of a concerted campaign by several of “those” mentioned, with others; I have no interest now in returning to Twitter/X.

Let us hope that idiots in positions of power, whether in Poland, the Baltic states, or France, are listening.
Goodwin’s point is vitiated by his turning a blind eye to the Jew-Zionist influence permeating UK politics. My own attitude is closer to that of the cartoon below:
As a Northern European social-national thinker, I refuse to support either side in the Gaza/Israel/Palestine situation. It is more true to say that while I despise the Israeli side for its brutality and quasi-psychotic sadism yet, by the same token, I cannot support any form of violent Islamism, as such. I oppose the pervasive Jew-Zionist influence in UK politics and society, yet also oppose the migration-invasion of Britain, whether by Islamists, black hordes, or others.
I have, incidentally, not seen Goodwin say anything at all supportive of the suffering millions in Gaza, most of whom after all are women and children. Goodwin, like so many people seen frequently on UK mass media, is supportive, it seems, of Israel, or afraid to seem critical of it and/or Jew-Zionism and/or Zionists.

“Under the [“National Service”] plan, 18-year-olds will be given a choice between a full-time placement in the Armed Forces for 12 months or spending one weekend a month for a year [doing community work].
The Tories would also encourage employers to consider those who complete the Armed Forces placement during job applications.
However, the Armed Forces option would be selective – with only around 30,000 placements for ‘the brightest and best’.”
[Daily Mail]
So Sunak’s cockeyed “plan” for conscription turns out to be mainly a plan to have untrained 18-y-o young men and, I presume, women doing a kind of forced labour on one weekend per month for a year. Even by Sunak’s standards, this is pretty silly.
For one thing, the time is unbalanced. Leaving aside any Army/Navy leave or liberty days, it means that those choosing and being selected for the military or naval option will spend 365 days serving. The “civilian” option, though, will only take up 24 days.
Guess which option most young people are going to choose?
Even if you take off maybe 125 liberty days or leave days from the 365, that still only reduces to about 240 days on duty, as against 24. Ten times the commitment.
The idea that employers will give the “military/naval option” cadets an easier ride in later civilian job recruitment could not be enforced and relies entirely on goodwill.
In fact, the year of service (in either case) will set back the cadets or National Service litter-pickers for a year, especially the military/naval cadets, except those planning a Service career anyway.
As for the rest, spending one weekend a month picking up litter, helping clean hospitals, or planting trees, might not be a huge commitment of time, but will be seen by most as a kind of slave or serf labour, even if remunerated or compensated at say £150 per weekend (I have seen nothing so far, though, about any remuneration).
I suppose that, if the 30,000 military/naval cadets were offered pay (£15,000 p.a.?) and a gratuity, on completion, of some not-trifling amount (say £12,000 in cash, taxfree), that might spark some interest.
Over 700,000 or so people turn 18 every year in the UK. That means that 670,000+ will be on the monthly “community service” option.
What happens if the litter-pickers (etc) decide not to comply? Do they get taken to court? Fined? Ordered to comply on pain of imprisonment? What if there is mass non-compliance, or organized civil disobedience?
In fact, in view of the fact that the State has not the resources with which to imprison up to 700,000 young people, the most they could be given might be…unpaid work for a few days a month. Oh…
This has not been thought through by Sunak and/or those around him.
Likewise with the military/naval option. To train recruits to a basic level takes maybe 2-4 months (the British Army takes 14 weeks to basic-train standard recruits, the Royal Navy 10 weeks for ratings; officers are basic-trained for longer, 15-30 weeks), and overall training of those National Service cadets is likely to take a total of as long as 6 months (the British Army takes 44 weeks to fully train an officer).
In other words, after training, the cadets will only be available for deployment for 6 months before their time is up and they either leave or join the regular Army or Navy. Any trained to an officer level will only be available for deployment for a few months, or even weeks.
In other words, the increase in manpower might only be 15,000 or so, or is the idea to have both ordinary recruitment and National Service recruitment? Looks as though the end result would be much the same.
Also, who would choose to join as National Service recruit when he/she could join up with (?) better pay and conditions as a regular recruit and/or as an officer-cadet?
Will the National Service cadets or recruits be put into dedicated units, or mixed-in with regular units?
Again, this really has not been thought through.
The people this crazy scheme is apparently supposed to “help”, or change, or just control and monitor the most, those disaffected 18-y-o individuals who are not at or planning to go to university, nor into a structured career or job of some kind, will be the least likely to opt for the military/naval option, so will “choose” the “one weekend per month” option, and probably either fail to attend, or may do it very unwillingly, like a “community payback” penalty imposed by the courts.
What is the point?
Also, if the government has a force of about 670,000 “litter-pickers” (etc) to deploy, how many older (older than 18) people will thereby be deprived of the chance of doing paid or better-paid jobs doing the same or similar work?
Once again, the consequential effects have not been properly thought through.

🚨NEW: Keir Starmer is attempting to put pro-Israel lobbyist Ruth Smeeth in charge of the Ministry of Defence.
This is what the near future has in store for the UK— a literal Israeli agent as Secretary of State for Defence. Look at ex-MP John Woodcock (now “Lord Walney”), a sex pest and depressive case who is one of the worst Israel/Jewish lobby puppets at Westminster. He is apparently over-excited by the possibility that Israel will have yet another of its main “candidates” at Cabinet level, right in there with the others (Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Lisa Nandy etc).
All he wants is power and he'll say anything to get it. Independent Candidate Andrew Feinstein @AF4HSP with a brilliant introduction to the real Keir Starmer. If you let Starmer into Downing Street you'll spend the next five years eating what you ordered. pic.twitter.com/v5Jbs4IntA
All true (about Starmer), but all I myself am interested in, re. the upcoming General Election, directly, is to collapse one of the two main System parties, even at the high cost of allowing the other to become an “elected” dictatorship. Only by unbalancing the “two main parties” system can a social-national alternative arise.

So the Jewish chief of the Con Party election campaign is being accused of falling down on the job, thus making it even easier for pro-Israel Starmer and his cabal to win said election with a huge majority? I feel a conspiracy theory coming on…
[Addendum, same day: a regular reader of the blog suggests that Isaac Levido is not Jewish. I do not know for sure, despite the name(s) and the look of the said publicist, so am adding this cautionary addendum in the interests of accuracy and fairness].
Having said that, why the voters are turning away from the Con Party is not mainly by reason of poor presentation but by reason of very poor actual government of the country over the past 14 years, and especially the past 5 years.

2235. Still waiting. The clowns cannot even get their big announcement out on time.
Under the Conservatives, the State Pension had risen by £3,700 – and is increasing another £900 this year.
So that’s at. A desperate attempt to hold on to at least the former Con Party core vote of pensioners. The full registered electorate of the UK is about 45.5M; persons 65+ total about 11M, so about 27% of the electorate. Also, far more likely, traditionally to vote, either by post or in person.
These are pretty much the only people, or at least by far the biggest bloc, still likely to vote Con at GE 2024.
Whether it will make much difference, hard to say. Many pensioners will wonder a. as to whether Sunak will even be there after 4 July, and b. whether he can be trusted. There again, not all vote on the basis of perceived self-interest.
As a “big announcement”, slightly underwhelming, but I expect it will buy at least some votes. Absolutely desperate though, as a tactic.

Now the “blue sky” Hungarian-origined “thinker” —resident in California at last hearing, having left the UK and taken on U.S. citizenship— opines about the 2024 UK General Election.
He writes that “…somehow I don’t think Sunak does accept the inevitability of defeat.
You don’t get to be in his position, with all the success he has achieved in his career and his life, without exceptional drive and determination. I simply cannot believe that someone that impressive – Oxford, Stanford, Goldman Sachs, Prime Minister within seven years of becoming an MP – is content to just drift out of office without a fight.“
[Daily Mail]
Those words alone show how out of touch “Hilton” is, and how easily dazzled. Yes, Sunak got a degree from Oxford University (after having been at Winchester College, where he became Head Boy, it would be almost surprising had Sunak not gone on to Oxford). So what?
Sunak then went on to Stanford University, and graduated with an MBA. OK, but so what, really?
Indeed, and in all fairness, Hilton’s own academic achievement, coming from his level of poverty or near-poverty in childhood, was more creditable than that of Sunak: Christ’s Hospital (school) on a bursary, followed by Oxford University.
“Hilton” then praises Sunak for having worked (for about 2 years or so) at the Goldman Sachs financial outfit. Not everyone thinks that that is a recommendation, but “Hilton” is no doubt dazzled by the money Goldman Sachs pay some of their staff.
“Hilton” himself was brought up in a fair degree of poverty, by a mother abandoned by her husband; she and her son survived only by reason of the State benefits that “Hilton”, as well-overpaid and useless adviser to Cameron-Levita’s “Conservative” government (2010-2015), later did his best to take away from other poor, sick, and disabled people.
As the Germans say, “put a beggar on a horse and he rides it to death“…
As to Sunak’s money, much of it has come, directly or indirectly, from his marriage to a super-wealthy Indian, daughter of an Indian billionaire. Anyway, as far as I am concerned, I do not, without more, respect money-jugglers. Maybe “Hilton” does.
It must have been galling for “Hilton” to forever be around the wealthy and politically-powerful, including his own wife, Rachel Whetstone [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Whetstone], yet have only the hanger-on’s level of influence, and nowhere near as much wealth, though at Downing Street, “Hilton” was paid or overpaid some £200,000 p.a., (worth maybe £240,000 p.a, in 2024 money). Good pay, yes, but a high salary is not the same as having serious capital.
“Hilton” also forgets to note that Sunak is “in his position” purely because two other idiots, “Boris” Johnson and Liz Truss, had to resign. Sunak (like Truss) has never led his party into an election; the Premiership was simply gifted to him.
“Hilton” goes on to write that ” Now, after years of chaos, Britain seems to be on the right track. But, make no mistake, a Labour government would set things back. What’s needed now from Sunak is energy, aggression and inspiration – and then he could pull off an even greater upset than John Major achieved in 1992.”
Absolutely asinine.
“Hilton”, the not very successful spin-meister, seems to imagine that, if only Sunak and the “Conservatives” were to really attack Starmer and his crew, the electorate will rally round the Cons. A brainless “analysis”, though I agree with Hilton that Starmer really offers nothing but a change of personnel.
As for “Britain seems to be on the right track“, from where does “Hilton” get that idea? It flies in the face of facts flagrantly obvious to anyone with eyes and any perceptiveness at all; Britain is quite obviously not“on the right track“.
A million unwanted non-Europeans, mostly (at best) parasites, entering the UK every year; a health service on its knees; a police service unable or unwilling to do its proper job, but at the same time all too eager to “cosplay” as a poundland Stasi or KGB, snooping on tweets and blogs; poor pay for most, and a continuing squeeze on the State benefits which sustained the young “Hilton” and his mother; a housing crisis caused or made far worse by the all but uncontrolled mass migration invasion; potholed and unrepaired roads and highways; a government throwing money and military support at “Ukraine” (the corrupt, brutal, and shambolic Kiev regime of the Jew Zelensky) and Israel; filthy rivers…it just goes on.
I suppose that the Daily Mail paid “Hilton” well for his little piece of “analysis”, if you can even call it that. Money wasted.
To my mind, whatever Sunak now says will either accomplish nothing to mitigate what must surely be a catastrophic election result for the Con Party, or may well make it all worse for them.
So far, a disastrous General Election announcement, with Sunak all but washed away by heavy rain; a visit to the Titanic museum in Belfast (you couldn’t make it up!); and now the announcement that, if re-elected, the “Conservatives” will reintroduce mandatory 1950s-style conscription (with a few semi-“woke” tweaks) for all (?) 18-y-o young men (and women?).
As I noted on the blog yesterday, the “National Service” idea seems designed to appeal to some kind of “false memory” delusion in some 70-100 year old Con Party voters, rather than being serious policy.
As I noted yesterday, after a date in 1957 no young men born after August 1939 were called-up (drafted), and call-up ceased in 1960 (though a relative few served until 1963).
So someone today would have to be at least 85 to have actually experienced the former “National Service”, which varied much.
For example, one of my uncles served, on an easy and almost 9-5 basis, as a lecturer in the Army Education Corps; his son, my slightly-older cousin, not seen by me since 1970, became a lecturer at Oxford University and then senior lecturer (mainly American Literature, I think) at Edinburgh University; he has apparently also written a number of books on literature, published by Oxford University Press.
Meanwhile, another uncle, circa 1950, was some kind of accountant in the Pay Corps, based in places such as North Wales, as far as I know. Hardly thrilling. Other and less fortunate conscripts, though, found themselves fighting in swamps and mountains against people out to kill them. Korea, Malaya, Cyprus etc.
At any rate, that “National Service” idea alone has probably cost the Con Party a million General Election votes overall.
With everything so wrong in the country, Sunak goes with conscription as his Big Idea?! He really should have stayed in the world of corporate finance, juggling money.
I think that “Hilton” should go home to California, if that is where he now mainly lives, and stop trying to comment on a British society and political landscape which he no longer understands, if he ever did.

The importance of that is less in the limited material damage done, and more the fact that, despite the devastation of Gaza, despite the huge number of casualties (mostly civilian), despite the Israeli ground invasion, despite everything, the Hamas organization in Gaza remains able to fire rockets capable of penetrating the defences of Tel Aviv and causing at least some damage.

Au contraire, that is exactly what Starmer-Labour can do. Yes, they have no publicly-palatable plan, and secretly are planning to do a Cameron/Osborne Mark 2, but up to the 4th of July they will just rely on the hatred and contempt felt by the voters for Sunak’s hapless bunch of clowns.
Most people want rid of the “Conservatives”; the fact that Labour will also be terrible in government, maybe worse, scarcely impinges. Only 5 and a half weeks left before the General Election. Postal voting will be happening from about 3 weeks from now. Time is not on the side of Sunak and his party.

Rosindell also blocked the Parliamentary bill that would have stopped animals being used in circuses. What a horrible person.

The authoritarian arrogance of this is breathtaking enough and it’s what the Cult wants to impose eventually in an expanded form. But to announce it now is another ruse designed to open the way for his one-party-state fellow operative Starmer into Downing Street.”
Exactly. The NWO/ZOG wants Starmer-Labour to be “elected” (under a rigged system) and to become, thereby, an “elected” dictatorship: fake communitarian, pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, pro-NWO/ZOG, pro the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan], pro-mass migration-invasion of the UK and the rest of Europe, pro-repression of free speech.

“Thinking about why the Tories have called the election early despite clearly being in for a drubbing, I agree with @AMercouris of the Duran: the entire establishment is most worried not about Tory v Labour but about the possibility of alternative parties making gains, however small.
The more time that goes by, the more the voters realise how much they hate both the Tories and Labour. If these are the only choices, vast swathes of the people will simply stay away from the polls (as they stayed away from the recent local elections). But if there are alternative candidates from Reform and the Workers party, and those parties have the time to organise their campaigns while the war criminals continue to become ever more unpopular, there’s every chance they could win a few seats.
Even without winning seats, they could prevent Labour from getting its landslide by gaining vote shares in many constituencies that Labour hopes to take from the Tories.
Getting a stable Labour government installed on a low turnout seems to be the main aim of the ruling class right now. It’s been clear they’ve been grooming Starmer as the next PM for a long time. He’s 100% their man – a servile lackey who will commit any crime required and an ultra-zionist. And he has the huge advantage of trade union backing at a time when more and more anti-worker measures are going to be implemented and more aggressive wars launched.
A hung parliament would be a nightmare for this agenda, as would a parliament with anti-EU and/or antiwar troublemakers putting pressure on the ‘uniparty’ loyalists and exacerbating the crisis of legitimacy by making embarrassing demands from the back benches.
Anyone considering whether / how to vote should remember that this election has no ability to solve any of our problems, which stem from the capitalist system itself – from the global capitalist crisis of overproduction (and consequent poverty, unemployment and inflation) and from the desperate imperialist war drive.
The only useful thing you can do with your vote is use it to back Workers Party or independent candidates if they STAND AGAINST NATO, OPPOSE THE LABOUR PARTY, AND OPPOSE THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA.
If we can get a few anti-Nato, anti-genocide MPs in Parliament, it will be a major irritation to the establishment, and a permanent reminder to the British people that their will is ignored by the vast majority of their ‘elected representatives’. If we can help deny Labour the huge majority that the corporate media are confidently predicting, so much the better.”
I agree with the basic premise, but not with the conclusion there. If the Con Party can be all but wiped out this year, left with only a risible rump of deadhead MPs, that may unbalance the whole “2 main parties” System scam, leaving a vacuum that social nationalism may then fill, though not immediately (because no real social-national party exists).

“…If such authentic souls, such honest anthroposophists can be found … then an upward movement and dynamic will arise. If such souls do not appear, then decadence will take its inexorable downward course… Today humanity stands before a great crisis: either it will see all civilization collapsing into the abyss, or else spirituality will raise civilization up by the power of the Michael impetus, through which the Christ impetus works, thus continuing, enriching and sustaining it.‘” [Rudolf Steiner 1861-1925].
Five years or so ago, when I wrote the above blog post, I highlighted a number of possible events that might end, or almost end, our present civilization. A possible and possibly contrived pandemic was one, and one of the others was nuclear war.
Since 2019, the push, mainly in the West, for war, especially war with the Russian Federation, has become almost a clamour.
We look at, perhaps particularly, the First World War, and ask “why on Earth did they do it?“, it seems so senseless on looking back. Yet look now: a ridiculous contrived Russian ogre has been conjured into existence, supposedly threatening Central and Western Europe.
The fact that Russian forces have failed even to crush the corrupt and shambolic regime in Kiev seems not to have dented the “Russia threatens us” narrative. The Russians may have been unable to take or destroy Kiev, but they, we are told, now certainly threaten Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, and London.
There again, Russia today is merely and ordinarily nationalist; there is no inherently-expansionist Marxist-Leninist ideology, as there was during the currency of the Soviet Union.
The whole idea is senseless.
More and more powerful missiles and other arms are being given to the “Ukrainians” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev). Only today, a Russian nuclear early-warning station was destroyed.
Be under no illusions: nuclear war on the strategic level might be triggered by only one incident, leading to an intercontinental nuclear exchange within days. Such an event or series of events has been foretold in major staff college war games over the past 60 years.
Were such a catastrophe to happen, the way back for our whole civilization would be long and hard, if it could even take place. Almost everything we know and live among would cease to exist. 99% of the world’s population, certainly Europe’s, would not survive.
Apart from his highly incentivised devotion to Israel, does David Lammy have any other qualification whatsoever to be probably the UK's next foreign secretary?
Hard, in a sense, to see what that snake-oil salesman would add to Reform UK’s limited popular appeal, especially after his recent frenzied pro-Israel soundbites, but then I am not a typical voter. Parties need leaders, either that or at least figureheads.
If Farage takes up the reins of Reform UK, and if that boosts its vote-share from last week’s 18% to 26%, and if the extra 8 points come equally out of the Con and Lab vote-share, leaving Cons on 14%, Labour on 44%, LibDems on 9% and Greens on 7%, the result might be Labour with 490 Commons seats, Reform UK with 57, LibDem 55, Con 6, and Greens 2. [calculation via Electoral Calculus https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html].
Is that possible? The uncertainty alone speaks volumes. It seems impossible… and yet…
That would put Reform UK into Parliament as second-largest party, and official Opposition. As for the Conservative Party, 6 MPs and a very very poor fourth place; for them, it would probably mean the end of the road.
If Sunak, the little Indian money-juggler, were to lose his seat, he would not even have to find a reason to relocate, with his immensely rich wife, to California. If so, good riddance.
Even were Labour to ebb to 40%, and the Cons to recover to 18% (where one opinion poll had them last week), that would still leave the Cons with a mere 35 MPs (Lab 435, LibDems 58, Greens 2, but Reform UK with 79 MPs!
A party has to get well beyond 20% to get any seats at all under the UK’s FPTP voting system, but if it can get 25%+, it may hit the jackpot.
We shall have to wait and see, but the situation looks dire for the treacherous and incompetent Con Party, and I doubt whether the latest pseudo-1940 “fight on the beaches” appeal, featuring the Indian money-juggler and the Jew Shapps (he of the 5 fake identities and the Israeli Bnai Brith membership) will do anything, except confirm that the voters will vote “ABC” (“Anywhere But Conservative”).
Talking point
I happened to be out early in the car this morning, and tuned in to the Radio 4 Today Programme for a few minutes. I caught most (I think) of an interview with a retired general, only a year older than me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Shirreff.
The general seemed to want, or want to risk, a war with Russia, and seemed totally signed-up to support for “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime). He wants “the Ukrainians” (Kiev regime) to be given more and more-powerful weapons, so that they can attack Russia, and far deeper inside Russia.
“That’s what you do in war, attack the enemy“, proclaimed the desk warrior (his only active “war” command a few months in the Gulf in 1991, as a major, and aged 36).
When the interviewer hesitantly wondered whether that might lead to all-out war between NATO and the Russian Federation, he seemed sanguine about that awful possibility.
The general also seemed to miss the point that, while the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev may be at war with the Russian Federation, we in the UK are not…; not yet, anyway, no thanks to people like him.
Britain has not been well-served by its chocolate soldiers of recent times, and it seems to me that their very limited-in-scope yet gung-ho pseudo-macho posturing might yet lead this country into becoming the target of Russia’s vast nuclear arsenal.

"If a social democratic, high-trust country like Denmark can publish data on migrant crime rates, then why can't Britain?" – Guy Dampier https://t.co/6v9cNQgktw
When I started at the (English) Bar in 1993 (I had been Called to the Bar a couple of years before that but was living in the USA), I did some criminal cases, mostly in the magistrates’ courts in London, and also some Crown Court trials. Most of the defendants were non-white. To some extent, that reflected the rather rackety chambers I was in, but not only that; most serious criminal defendants in London were non-white, mostly West Indian. That must be even more so in 2024, over 30 years later. That, despite the fact that, in 1993/1994, the proportion of non-whites in London was probably only about 10% to 20% (it’s 46% in 2024).
As for relatively recent migrants, say those who have “arrived” in the past two decades, it is hardly surprising that they commit a huge amount of crime: most are young or youngish men, few even speak English beyond a “pidgin” level, few have any marketable skills, and few have any money (though they must have had some previously in order to have been able to buy their passage from the people-smugglers).

“Russia only needed one crack in Ukraine’s defenses to increase its vulnerability – The New York Times.
Recent Russian offensives in eastern and northeastern Ukraine are beginning to “dangerously” change the geometry of the front for Kyiv. The “sudden” breakthrough of Russian troops in Ocheretino illustrated how even a small crack in the defense line can cause a cascading effect, threatening already stretched platoons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with encirclement from the flanks, writes The New York Times.
The publication spoke with Ukrainian soldiers and commanders on the front line. They acknowledged that they were in a more vulnerable position than at any time since the “first harrowing weeks” of the conflict.
Moscow is trying to use the window of opportunity that has opened. Its army is increasing pressure in the Donbass and is seeking to open a new front by attacking Ukrainian positions along the northern border near Kharkov.
According to the publication, months of delays in American assistance, a growing number of casualties and an acute shortage of ammunition led to dire consequences for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This is evidenced by the exhausted faces and tired voices of Ukrainian soldiers.
“To be honest, I’m scared,” the commander of a Ukrainian tank battalion told The New York Times. “Because if I don’t have shells, people, equipment with which my people can fight… then this is the end.”

“HEART specialist waiting lists are up by 75 per cent, according to NHS figures.
Health authorities have admitted that mRNA jabs can cause potentially fatal heart issues, and published post-mortems have recorded heart-related vaccine deaths.
Despite this, not one mainstream news outlet has looked at the role covid vaccinations could have played in the huge increase in heart problems. Instead, our health watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), continues to call vaccine-induced myocarditis and pericarditis ‘rare’, despite admitting a 90 per cent under-reporting rate (it could be as high as 99 per cent), and continues to blame SARS-CoV-2 infection.
This is a disingenuous assessment, according to top US cardiologist and epidemiologist Peter McCullough.”

An important speech which challenges the current global dogma on immigration. In sharing such a video, one cannot avoid being criticized but I share it nonetheless for it makes a powerful case against accepting an unlimited number of migrants into a host country.
I was unaware that Amsterdam is now 56% migrant. That figure does not even include all migrants who arrived over the past 50 years, or their offspring.
Very sad. When I first and briefly visited the Netherlands, aged maybe 8, in 1964 or 1965, there were no migrants, effectively.
When I returned alone, in 1975, aged 18, there were few. Later, on trips in the 1980s, Dutch friends of my family were complaining about the behaviour of the few (I think Turks, or possibly others from Turkey) who had somehow moved to their part of Amsterdam (a relatively-new suburb in or by North Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Noord): thefts of bicycles, littering etc— maybe “petty”, but already slowly changing their decent (and fairly new) neighbourhood into a declining and less pleasant one.
My last visit to the Netherlands, other than using Schiphol airport a number of times, was in the mid-1980s. More recently, I heard from Dutch friends how things had changed, and not for the better. Drugs, crime generally, an immigrant takeover in some parts of the city etc. This all co-incided with economic problems, housing shortages (mass immigration again), considerable job insecurity, and a general cultural decline.
Sad.
As with the Swedes, the Dutch made the mistake of allowing decent tolerance to become indecent licence, and of allowing a kind welcome for a few non-Europeans to become an open invitation for any and all, millions of them.
Britain made, and is still making, the same or similar mistakes, and is also indoctrinating its young people with the same pathetic and weak pseudo-ideology that is eroding white Europe from within.
Incidentally, I just saw this, about WW2 bombing of Amsterdam-Noord:
The Fokker factories were the 17 July 1943 bombings’ goal, but the bombs of the United States Army Air Forces fell on the surrounding residential areas, causing 158 deaths and 119 seriously injured as a result.
The British’ Royal Air Force and Free French Air Forces both did another attempt to bomb the factory on 25 and 28 July, resulting in the death of 200 citizens in total by the three raids.[2]
Only the British Forces managed to bomb the targeted airplane factory, all other bombs fell on residential areas in Amsterdam-Noord. This is the heaviest air bombardment that ever hit Amsterdam. 106 houses were destroyed, 206 houses heavily damaged and 676 houses suffered glass and roof damage. Every year a memorial ceremony takes place on 17 July at De Nieuwe Noorder cemetery.”

As one of the 80% or more of Conservative Party MPs who belong to Conservative Friends of Israel, Mel Stride is a spokesman for Israel.
‘Rishi Sunak has accused some benefits claimants of “trying to game the system” – As campaigners accused ministers of a “reckless assault on disabled people”, Mel Stride, the work and pensions secretary, shrugged off such attacks’ https://t.co/jpHPPA7Y0Kpic.twitter.com/caesvFOiwa
As to the renewed attack on disability benefits, desperate clutching at straws by a government trying to appeal to people who know nothing, read the Sun, Star etc, and who might be persuaded to vote Conservative as a result of all this kefuffle.
I doubt whether it will work. People in all sorts of conditions of life want rid of this government and its venal, ignorant MPs, and are just waiting for the opportunity to put their “X” in any box but the one marked “Conservative Party”.
This contrived storm around disability benefits is also designed to deflect attention from the renewed slaughter in Gaza.
While there is a section of the UK electorate easily fooled by rhetoric against State benefits generally, those voters are mainly those already intending to vote Con at GE 2024; probably already within the Con “core vote” bloc which is about 20% of the entire electorate. That 20% can probably be characterized broadly as “over 65, retired, owner-occupiers, living in Southern England”.
Using the Electoral Calculus website, the most recent opinion polling indicates that, after GE 2024, the number of Con Party MPs might well be below 50. This contrived storm is a desperate attempt to seize back the initiative; I doubt that it will work.
Disabled people have already got the rough end of the stick when it comes to day-to-day living
And now the government is trying to dictate how those people are “supposed to” live their lives by proposing vouchers that will effectively control where the money goes

@UKLabour I can't see anything from you about the disgusting proposal from the #Toryscum regarding the #PIP vouchers instead of cash. Why is that? Are you planning the same thing? Please prove me wrong!?
“Ay, there’s the rub“… “Labour”-label is no real alternative, just a different set of freeloading, “Friends of Israel” puppets.
Mel Stride is the latest in a long line of smug, entitled yet completely ignorant MPs pronouncing on such questions.
A few tweets, or a blog post, will not wipe the smug and self-satisfied smile off the mug of a creature of his sort, and the state of free speech is such that I cannot really say what might.
I happened to see an old Peter Cushing/Christopher Lee vampire film yesterday. When it comes to most MPs, certainly most MPs on the “Conservative” benches, my feeling is similar to that of Peter Cushing and others “driving the point home” in such a film…
I myself do not receive any disability benefits, but understand the issues. How is it that a Cabinet minister with specific responsibility for those issues seems to be so lacking, both in knowledge of them, and in both reason and compassion?
Huge numbers of people (in my opinion, far greater than the number who favour Labour-label) want to stamp on and wipe out the “Conservative” Party. I am one of them.
Only 14% of Brits want the Tories to win the looming general election while a larger number want them to "completely disappear"https://t.co/JhQen5sO9l
If only 14% of the voters were actually to vote that way at GE 2024 (with Labour on a notional 45%, LibDems 10%, Reform UK 15% and Greens 7%), the result would be the Cons left with just 7 MPs! (Labour 541, LibDems 53, SNP 26, Greens 2). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

I believe that military people refer to such methods (boobytrapping cans of food etc with explosives or poison) as “technical attack”.
When dealing with such as the IRA in the 1970s, or the ZANLA terrorists in the Rhodesia of the same period, it might have been justified (in rural areas where arms dumps or support stores were found), but surely not when applied as a form of terrorism on an urbanized civilian population.
We’ve spent months warning that Israel is bombing areas it told Palestinians were “safe.” Unfortunately, it takes an investigation by mainstream US outlets to legitimize the truth.
The coming months/years will see countless investigations that confirm what we’ve known all along. pic.twitter.com/bj745b42pH
I have seen the usual Jew-Zionist lawyers arguing narrow legalistic points about whether what the Israeli Jews are doing in Palestine and particularly in Gaza is “genocide” or not. The reality is that this is at least a quasi-genocide. If it falls slightly short of a fully-delineated, legally-rubberstamped “genocide”, that is really only of academic interest.
Incidentally, Jews wanted to destroy the German people in the 1940s. That was why the atomic scientists, almost all of whom were Jews, developed the first atom bomb. They did so despite there having been a small theoretical possibility that the first full test would set alight Earth’s atmosphere and destroy all life on Earth.
The atom bombs were designed to be dropped on Berlin and other German cities, not Japanese ones. Those working on them were willing to accept that much of Central Europe might be devastated and irradiated.
Ironically, the terrible and devastating defeat of the German Reich in the Spring of 1945 saved Germany and much of Central Europe generally from atomic devastation.
Yes, he did. I once knew a woman in the private security industry, and she told me (about 5 years after the event) that people directly involved in the case had told her that Madeley certainly did it. Hearsay twice over, admittedly, but plausible all the same.
(I should add that, actually, Madeley never denied having taken the Champagne; he denied that he had any dishonest intent).
There are many cases where a famous person, famous as an individual or because a member of a famous family, has been acquitted in circumstances where a not-famous person would have been convicted. One, remembered from my time in the USA was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kennedy_Smith. Guilty, in my opinion. but acquitted.

“So we are now in a different situation. We’re looking at Ukraine. Russia, in the last two and a half years has built up an enormously powerful and successful force. This is battle hardened, well-equipped, well-led, well-trained, highly disciplined.
The Ukrainian force has been annihilated. They’ve lost over 600,000 dead on the battlefield. There’s nothing left. The place is falling apart. And most of the money you were talking about will never get there. It’s simply sent through the washing machine over to defense and then to the defense industries, and then the donations flow back to the hill. So it doesn’t, you know, it’s not a question that we’re sending 60 billion and putting it into Zelensky’s hands now.
Now Zelensky and his friends will profit, no doubt about it. Let’s not kid ourselves. They’ll get some of it. How much? Who knows? I mean, this is the most corrupt country in the world. This is a country that has missing children, probably at this point in the hundreds of thousands. Prostitution, out of control. I mean, you’re talking about criminality on a scale that we in the west can’t even begin to imagine. It’s a tragedy. It’s the worst of all possible outcomes. The Ukrainian nation has been destroyed. Why? Because it’s mortgaged to our vanity.
In the west, Russia must be taught a lesson. Russia must be destroyed. Putin must be removed. Really? Why? Well, because we’ve decided that we want to strip Russia of its resources. So we turned Ukraine into a battering ram designed to stab Russia in the heart. The Russians woke up, not completely, but at the last minute, and decided, well, we probably should intervene here and stop what’s happening and signal just how serious this is, in our estimation. So they did, and they found out it’s much worse than we thought.
The force is much larger, much better trained. It has much more equipment. This is a far more serious problem. And as a result, they had to step back, establish a defense, build up their forces, and now they’re moving, and they’re going to finish the job.
Finish the job means everything from Odessa up to Kharkov is back in Russian hands. And those areas are originally Russian anyway, as has been pointed out. Your question is, what happens to the rest of the country that is west of the Dnieper River, this rump, Ukraine, and I think it’s going to become a giant demilitarized zone, a DMZ, similar to what we have between north and South Korea. There will be nothing there. There won’t be any fighting forces of any kind. And the Ukrainians can live there. And they may have some form of administration, but they’re not going to be permitted to ever again present a direct threat to Russia.
You pointed to the CIA stations and laboratories inside Ukraine. The Russians have overrun those. They know what’s there. They know what we’ve been trying to do. They know that we’ve been experimenting biologically with various weapons that could be used against them. This is insanity. And it was never necessary.
No one in the United States supported that. No one in the United States was consulted. So what do they do? They lie. They create a narrative. Russia is a revanchist nation. Russia is the Soviet Union reborn. We must stop it and defend democracy. That’s all crap. That’s nothing to do with any of it. And of course, Kiev is not a democratic state. Zelensky is not a democratic leader. He makes Stalin look good. So he’s going to go out of business. He’s going to vanish here over the next 30 to 60 days.
Whether he succumbs to whatever the Ukrainians decide to do with him on the ground, I don’t know. I’m sure that his foreign mercenaries that are surrounding him, special ops types from the United States and Britain and other countries, will do everything they can to keep him alive. But at some point, even they may abandon him. But the narrative persists because the media is an arm of the government.
This is very similar to what Noam Chomsky wrote about during Vietnam. Manufactured consent creates the illusion that this is something we all want. No, we didn’t want it. We didn’t ask anybody to open the borders. We did not ask for millions of people that we don’t know and know nothing about to come into the United States. And what do we do with millions of people who can’t find work? Especially if we go into the serious financial crisis that every sane person on the planet is predicting is coming.
What else can we say? I wish I could paint a positive picture.“
[Colonel Douglas MacGregor].
I agree with most of that. The Colonel has repeated pretty much what I have said on the blog, for 2 years, should happen.

“Scotland has better education than England” (they said). “Scottish people are both better-educated and shrewder than the English” (they said). So why have the Scots voted into government a bad-joke pseudo-nationalist or fake nationalist party headed now by a Pakistani clown? Why is Scottish Labour the same or similar? (“but answer came there none“)…
During the Covid lockdowns, the Welsh Government spent millions of pounds turning the Principality Stadium into a temporary hospital for “Covid” patients.
“A Lady asked an old street vendor: “How much do you sell your eggs for?” The old man replied “0.50¢ an egg, madam.” The Lady responded, “I’ll take 6 eggs for $2.00 or I’m leaving.” The old salesman replied, “Buy them at the price you want, Madam. This is a good start for me because I haven’t sold a single egg today and I need this to live.” She bought her eggs at a bargain price and left with the feeling that she had won.
She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate a little and left a lot of what they had asked for. So they paid the bill, which was $150. The ladies gave $200 and told the fancy restaurant owner to keep the change as a tip.
This story might seem quite normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is; Why do we always need to show that we have power when we buy from the needy? And why are we generous to those who don’t even need our generosity?
We once read somewhere that a father used to buy goods from poor people at a high price, even though he didn’t need the things. Sometimes he paid more for them. His children were amazed. One day they asked him “why are you doing this dad?” The father replied: “It’s charity wrapped in dignity.”
I know that most of you will not share this message, but if you are one of the people who have taken the time to read this far… Then this message of attempted “humanisation” will have gone one step further in the right direction.“

“Zelensky asks his military leadership for maximum defense of Kharkiv. Ritter is convinced that he will soon lose it HAS ASKED HIS OWNERS TO FORCE THE PRODUCTION OF DRONES WHICH HE THINKS WILL PLAY A MAJOR ROLE.
Scott RITTER: Now Russia is destroying military targets in Kharkiv on a daily basis, as the Ukrainian armed forces do not have enough ammunition for air defense systems. Soon the Russian army will surround that city, and Kiev will have to cede it. Such a future awaits any city in Ukraine that Russia decides to occupy, because the Ukrainian army cannot provide their sustainable defense.”
The British newspaper The Times estimated that the Russian army, if it succeeds in liberating Kharkiv, will surround the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass.”
I am expecting a general advance of Russian armour and infantry, supported by air power, in 2024 and/or 2025. The Kiev-regime forces do not have the manpower to resist, or will soon not have. They are all now in purely defensive mode, despite the occasional missile or drone provocation attacking Russia itself.
It may be that that general advance will move west and north-west until most of Eastern Ukraine (i.e. east of the Dnieper) is occupied by Russian forces.
Kiev itself has been heavily fortified in defensive layers, including massive minefields. It may be that there will not be an attempt to storm Kiev until much later, in late 2025, or 2026.
The Kiev regime is draining armed forces personnel, arms, ammunition at a fairly rapid rate now. There may be some kind of palace revolution in Kiev, with the Jewish dictator, Zelensky, removed and forced into exile, along with his cabal and their stolen billions. At that point, peace talks may well occur and result in an armistice, even if no final or formal result or peace is possible.

“The toddler’s frail, malnourished body scarcely twitched as she lay helplessly in an incubator chamber in the already-decimated Gaza hospital.
Leila Jeneid, one of countless children who have passed through the doors of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in the north of the Gaza Strip, has suffered as a result of starvation and dehydration.
In a video clip, Leila can be seen quickly breathing in and out, desperate for a breath of fresh air in one of the 12 remaining hospitals in the besieged enclave.
The outline of her ribs, along with all her other bones, are visible through her pallid, paper-thin skin, which sits in stark contrast to the blue blanket underneath her that provides little comfort to the toddler, who is not old enough to comprehend the hellish suffering she is undergoing.
Her jaw is slack as she lies on her back inside the plastic cage of the incubator, barely able to move her arms and legs.
She can’t keep her eyes open as medics at the hospital, which UN official Andrea De Domenico this week said was receiving ‘about 15 malnourished children a day and is struggling to maintain services,’ run tests to understand how to help her.
But it’s food, water and proper rest she needs, all things that the whole enclave is desperately in need of, and all things that Israel has been accused of deliberately withholding from civilians in its bitter war against Hamas, which – according to a top UN human rights official – could amount to a war crime.”

Israel, and the Jewish lobby outside Israel, can now shut up about various matters that they claim occurred during the Second World War.
The “usual suspects” constantly promote books, films etc about events and/or invented events that are said to have happened, in any event, over 80 years ago.
“A father-of-five who was jailed and handed a £475,000 court bill after a dispute with his neighbours has been ordered to sell his home to pay for the huge sum.
Mark Coates, 56, and wife Louise, 52, have been involved in a ‘bitter, aggressive and violent’ dispute with their neighbours Brian Greenwood, 69, and Janice Turner, 65, after moving in next door in the countryside near Hastings in 2015.
The row arose out of a disagreement over a fence between their homes on a quiet road in Robertsbridge, a court heard. The Coates family wanted to replace the structure with a brick wall but Mrs Taylor argued this would encroach on her land.”
[Daily Mail]
When I was at the Bar, I advised and appeared on several such cases in the County Court, both in London and the provinces. Almost all, in fact all, should have settled long before they got to court, long before any barristers were instructed.
I think that I can say that I, and other counsel in the cases known to me, did our best to achieve reasonable closure, but these are cases (often involving trivial amounts of land) where reason always seems to fly out out of the window.
In many cases, all Counsel, solicitors, and the judge in the matter, understand that the matters in question should settle before enormous costs are racked up but, often, the litigants are effectively willing to risk bringing down ruin on themselves for a chance of gaining a victory over their neighbours (with whom they will have to live —nearby— afterwards, after the case ends, whichever way it goes), unless one party sells up and moves (in which event…well, you get my point).
If you told someone to remortgage his house, take out equity of £50,000, £100,000 or more, then go to Las Vegas, and stake the entire amount, maybe in one spin, on red or black at the roulette table, the houseowner would call you crazy, but that is, often, exactly what he or she —often a couple— are willing to do in taking to the County Court (in some cases to the High Court) such cases.
I remember one case I had that was about a wedge-shaped piece of land running the length of a North London suburban garden; at one end it was only about an inch or so wide and, at the other, about a foot.
What can one say? Territorial feeling can be very powerful.
Private enterprise —properly regulated for honesty, health and safety, employee rights etc— should run most commerce and industry, but there are exceptions, among which are the main structures of the economy providing services to the whole people: water supply, large-scale energy, electricity generation and supply, roads, railways.
I love talking to old people, people who don't have smart phones, and aren't on Twitter.
It's a window into a different world, the 1950s, 1940s, 1930s that is rapidly fading from memory.
Talk to these people any opportunity you get, learn about their world, you won't regret it.
Very true. As for me [b.1956], my memories of even the late 1950s are few, but those of the 1960s, and up to the present year, are many. Speaking very broadly, I should say that the dividing line between the UK of 2024 and an earlier and different UK lies, arguably, somewhen between the Thatcher election victory of 1979 and the fall of socialism in or about 1989. Maybe 1979 as far as the UK is concerned, domestically. Too much to cover here in a few paragraphs, though.

Amidst a frenzy of industrialization in the 1940s, the US launched a decades-long project of freeway construction. Huge swathes of existing cities were demolished in the process, like in Kansas City: pic.twitter.com/BJhetxzhQh
Ironically, this breakneck pursuit of efficiency sacrificed what would today be some of the city's most profitable real estate. Those downtown buildings would be worth around $655 million today. pic.twitter.com/TBxcmKLrQ4
The dream of European-style cities in America was all but eradicated. Suburban sprawl meant cities lost significant chunks of their tax bases, and inner cities fell into spirals of decline.

Naturally, Zelensky wants cash, not arms and ammunition. You can’t transfer arms and ammunition into an offshore account…

It is an exciting time for HM Land Registry (HMLR) as we continue to embark on a major transformation programme. HMLR's ambition is to become the world’s leading land registry for speed, simplicity and an open approach to data.

Seems that H.M. Land Registry (or its ad agency) does not know the difference between “principle” and “principal“. On that basis, I am sceptical about anything they say they will do; it is not trivial, but a matter of both basic education and checking what is put before the public.

So much for the “military experts”, many of which (as in the case of the reporter David Axe) turn out to be not very expert at all: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Axe.
People of that sort write their rubbish for (in his case) Forbes magazine, the Daily Telegraph etc, and people believe it implicitly because it is in (albeit wrongfully) “trusted” publications, yet much of the content is unreliable. Read Axe’s Wikipedia entry. Not an ex-officer, not a military historian as such, but a writer of fiction primarily, at least until recently. His reporting on military matters has been patchy; refer to the Wikipedia entry.
There are many scribblers of that sort. He is far from being the only defaulter.
Of course, in relation to the Ukraine war, a significant factor in reportage is that most Western msm outlets are openly biased to an extent not seen since the 1940s. Anything seen in the msm relating to Ukraine, Russia, Putin etc has to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Forbes" columnist David Ax criticized the "Challenger 2" tanks which Great Britain sent to Ukraine and called them useless.

This is the problem with Shadi’s new identitarianism when it comes to Hamas.
Mainstream news sources have no idea nor any way to check the numbers coming from Hamas. But here he argues that not to trust those Hamas numbers is genocide.
Jew-Zionist argues that the numbers of civilian and other dead and wounded in Gaza are not accurate and may be, at least in part, invented.
I dare say, though, that the same Jew-Zionist (and many another) thinks that any attempt to critically examine the numbers involved, or the nature and extent, of the so-called “holocaust” of WW2, is not only “antisemitic” but evil…

No one in their right mind should vote Tory at the general election. Yes, we have a lack of viable alternatives and we should work to find good independent candidates. But anyone who votes Tory has a form of Stockholm syndrome. The Tory government destroyed the country.

Apocalyptic. Contrast the complacent American reaction to this with the scalded American reaction to the destruction, by Islamist militants, of two large buildings in New York City in 2001.
According to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] pressure group in the UK, something like 96% of Jews in the UK identify with Israel and Zionism. That may or may not be exactly accurate, but gives a general picture, anyway.

“Donald Trump surged closer to a rematch with Joe Biden in November as he trounced Nikki Haley, his final rival for the Republican nomination, on Super Tuesday.
The former president, 77, dominated the biggest day of the primaries, winning eleven states by 9.30pm, and leaving the ex-South Carolina governor’s White House dreams hanging by a thread.”
[Daily Mail]
Trump is very flawed, but at least he is not suffering from increasingly-obvious dementia. He will take away Zelensky’s ricebowl, and that will end the war in Ukraine within weeks, as the already-crumbling frontlines of the Kiev regime break, allowing Russian to fulfil its “manifest destiny” and take over all Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and also the Black Sea littoral as far west as Transdniestria.

I can’t think of one public service that’s better than it was 14 years ago.
Yes…but a good part of the overall problem is caused, or made far worse, by the migration invasion, meaning the importation into the UK, every single year now, of a million backward persons, almost all non-European, i.e. non-white, and most of whom are little more than parasites, a substantial minority actively criminal and/or terroristic.
Unfortunately, the trade unions are no longer very useful to the workers of the UK. They have been captured by “woke” fanatics, pro-immigration lunatics, and/or the Zionist lobby. The Labour Party is similar.

As most readers will probably know, Sam Melia was sentenced last Friday to 2 years imprisonment (which may in practice mean 6-12 months —more likely 12 than 6) for distributing stickers which themselves contained nothing illegal, as the trial and sentencing judge recognized.
The judge is said also to have recognized, in his summation, that Sam Melia is a good fellow (or some such), a good family man, a good citizen and community member etc. Despite that, Melia has been imprisoned, for what amount to purely political reasons.
Melia’s wife, the brave Laura Towler, has been left to struggle with her home and small business, with one small child, as well as being about to give birth to a second child.
The crowdfunder set up to help Melia and Laura Towler has now reached, as at time of writing, £55,641.
This is the link to that crowdfunder: https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia. Donate as little as £4, and so not only help that family but also stick it to the System, to “the lobby”, and to all enemies of this country’s future.

I must have missed all that.
I have my own (non-“conspiracy”) theory, which is that anything the human mind can imagine, even if only as a vague concept, can and will eventually become reality.
The idea of human flight by artificial means was first thought of in ancient times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icarus. In mediaeval and then Renaissance times, a few of the more-educated people conceived the idea of flight using either harnessed birds (Bishop Godwin) or mechanical contrivances (Leonardo da Vinci): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_in_the_Moone
[Frontispiece of Der Fliegende Wandersmann nach dem Mond, 1659]
Neither Godwin’s nor Leonardo’s ideas were immediately practicable, but the important thing was that those people, and Leonardo in particular, had the idea that flight was possible, in Leonardo’s case by mechanical means. That was key.
Later, of course, in the 18th and 19th centuries, there were hot-air and lighter-than-air balloons, then Zeppelins (late-19th/early 20th centuries), and then the several people in the early 20thC who developed heavier-than-air machines; the Wright brothers are of course most famous.
[World War One: German Zeppelin over the palace of Westminster, probably 1916]
The fast jets, passenger airliners, spacecraft etc which we now know came, originally, from that one spark in a human mind.
The same is true in all spheres of activity. The human mind need only be able to think that something can exist for it to exist, though the working out may take, sometimes, hundreds or even thousands of years.
Typical of the “Conservative” drone-MPs of the past 15-20 years.
Anyone who has been to any uni has come across a Laura Trott in a seminar. Hasn’t done most of the reading, doesn’t understand what she has read but continues to spout nonsense with an unfounded sense of confidence.
Can Laura Trott actually count? People on less than £25k a year are worse off, due to frozen tax thresholds & fiscal drag. That is not a tax cut. She actually said. ‘the economy has been doing so well’. We are in a recession. Jesus – she is so thick.
“Jesus, she is so thick“, the lady says…well, the only thing that can now save the Conservative Party is that many of the voters are also very stupid…
Harsh? Look at how many voters at the recent by-elections still voted Con. Yes, a minority, but thousands each time…a third of the voters who voted at Kingswood, and a quarter at Wellingborough. At Rochdale only 12%, but of course English voters who voted were a small minority there.
