The Jew dictator of the Kiev thug-regime “honours” that evil little sprite.

Meanwhile, the Zelensky dictatorship is still arresting its opponents:

[“A Dutch woman, 38, was held captive for a week in a home in Zeist, where she was repeatedly raped and brutally tortured by a 52-year-old migrant identified as E. el B.

The suspect beat and kicked her, assaulted her with multiple objects, forced her under a cold shower, placed a plastic bag over her head, tied a rope around her neck, and cut her arms and legs with a knife.

He is also accused of attempting to kill her by throwing her from his car near the A12 motorway at Maarsbergen and then driving over her.

The victim was found with two collapsed lungs, a broken shoulder blade, a broken nose, a missing front tooth, multiple stab and cut wounds, deep marks around her neck, and was unable to walk. Police said they had never seen a living person in such a severe condition.

Investigators found the victim’s DNA and blood in the suspect’s home. Prosecutors say his phone contained images of the injured victim, and that he had searched online for violent sex websites and for a drug to sedate someone for transport.

Just get rid of them all. Whatever it takes.

Starmer-stein, though nasty, pro-Jewish, pro-Israel, and anti-British (and profoundly unequipped to be a prime minister), at least realized that he was in the 2020s and unable to do much to improve British society. Burnham seems to think that all that he needs to do to make everything wonderful is to talk to people in the street (those who are already pro-Labour, that is), and be filmed doing so.

There is no fuel in the Burnham-Labour tank. So far, I have heard and seen nothing by way of solid policy.

Burnham’s first speeches and statements have been about trying to ensure that at least 100 Labour MPs retain their seats: a speech about the unfortunate but now-irrelevant event at the Hillsborough football stadium 37 years ago (!), and a meaningless apologia about Starmer-stein’s evil statement that the (Israeli) Jews he worships had every right to commit mass murder in Gaza, cutting off food and even water to the people there.

Burnham thus hopes to get 2024 Green Party voters, and/or Muslim voters, back on board.

The usual noisy Jewish claque on Twitter/X are now crying out for Burnham’s blood, but in fact Burnham is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, supported the Iraq war, and presently supports “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Burnham#Foreign_policy.

I think that Burnham is fairly cynical, and is quite deliberately using his non-confrontational style as a tactic, as did an earlier “Northern” Prime Minister, Harold Wilson.

There are at least a few parallels.

Translates to a hopelessly-hung Parliament with about 230 Labour MPs (minority government), 177 Reform (official Opposition), 114 Cons, 66 LibDems, 30 SNP, 10 Greens [etc].

In order to get any legislation through at all, Labour (to get to about 322, and the lowest possible working majority) would have to join forces with virtually all LibDem, Green, Plaid, and SNP MPs.

All the same, this is the first opinion poll in about 2 years to put Labour on a par with Reform.

I saw a minute or so of Burnham in the Commons, being led in by two MPs, both dumpy/frumpy Labourite women. Ghastly. Quite put me off my smoked salmon. Burnham’s smug happiness at having finally reached his career goal was palpable…

Late stray thoughts

Saw an old (from at least 15 years ago, maybe 20 years ago) edition of Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Among the contestants, Alastair Campbell and his even more ghastly non-wife [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastair_Campbell; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiona_Millar].

Their ignorance was absolutely incredible, yet here were people who, in their unwarranted arrogance, think that they have the right to lay down rules, regulations, and laws (either directly or via influence) which affect the whole of society.

They went away with very little money for their chosen charity.

Next up came horrible old (even then) Jewish politician Edwina Currie [nee Cohen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwina_Currie] and West Indian businessman and Conservative Party insider, Derek Laud [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Laud].

That pair also left with very little prize money, having failed to know that Ecuador was on the Pacific Ocean and not the Atlantic.

Again, supposedly (but in fact shallowly-) educated idiots of that type seriously think that they have the background and knowledge to run, help to run, or influence the running of, this country. It is pathetic, and angering.

Many will recall how out of her depth Edwina Currie was as a junior minister in the late 1980s. I was unaware until today that, at one time, Edwina Currie had been in charge of children’s services in Birmingham, notorious for incompetence; also unaware that she was also the one who appointed the evil and predatory deviant Jimmy Savile as Chairman of Broadmoor mental hospital (where he assaulted and raped patients).

There is something very wrong about the whole political milieu of the UK, and particularly about how entirely unsuitable people are selected as MPs and government advisers.

Andy Burnham is, though not the worst, yet another example.

Morning thought

Surely the basic things of life and social life should be made available by society to all citizens (not any interloper straight off the boat)? Meaning clean air, clean water, green spaces and a green environment (meaning trees, bushes, parks, not a pseudo-“green” agenda). Basic local transport. Enough money or other wherewithal to buy food. Decent housing. Medical and dental care. Educational services.

In my view, basic income will have to come. There is no point in making the unemployed (still less the genuinely physically disabled) jump through hoops to get a small amount of necessary money against a background of relatively few jobs paying enough on which to live.

AI and robotics are loosening the bonds between work and production, and the links between work and pay.

The basic State Pension is paid to all citizens over the rubric age regardless of real contribution or even real need. The same is true of Child Benefit. It may be that the time has come to supply all citizens with Basic Income, even if on a low level, regardless of contribution or even need. There are economic arguments in favour of providing it, regardless of provable need, just as people over a certain age get a pension from the State regardless of their need.

According to him, certain individuals are receiving money from a former Trump advisor, and that person, in turn, is receiving compensation from representatives of the Israeli government.

“These people are attacking me and claiming that we should not negotiate with Iran, but must continue the military campaign.

[“18 MUSLIMS WIN THE RIGHT TO MOVE TO BRITAIN THANKS TO IMMIGRATION JUDGE GEMMA LOUGHRAN

The case was brought after a Gazan-born mother-of-three – who came to the UK as a refugee and is now a British citizen โ€“ was refused permission to bring her extended family into this country.

Her relatives โ€“ both parents; a brother, his wife and four children; a sister and four children; and another sister, her husband and three children โ€“ won a legal challenge on human rights grounds.

The Palestinians argued they had a ‘right to family life’ under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and won their case under Section 6 of the Act which sets out how it is ‘unlawful for a public authority to act in a way which is incompatible with a Convention right’.

The ruling showed most of the adult applicants could not speak English and that the UK-based sister would only be able to accommodate her parents.

The whole family was granted anonymity by the courts. This is the same Judge that ruled a hairy asylum

[“The Windrush generation has been one of the most effective propaganda tools used against the native British population to justify mass immigration.

The reality? Itโ€™s all a lie. They were never formally invited, the locals did not welcome them, and even the government of the day actively opposed granting them citizenship.

Before The Empire Windrush left port in 1948, Prime Minister Clement Attlee tried to divert the ship to what is now Tanzania. He viewed coloured immigration as a threat to โ€œWhite Britain.โ€ The British government at the time was so nativist that several ministers publicly declared they would prefer White prisoners of war as domestic workers over Black immigrants.

When the ship docked at Tilbury, passengers were met by angry crowds holding signs reading โ€œKeep Britain White.โ€ Local residents continued to protest the colonisation of their communities by the Windrush arrivals and their descendants for decades afterwards.

The British Nationality Act 1948 proved to be our undoing. It was intended to allow White Commonwealth, Anglosphere, and European citizens to come and work in post-war Britain, but the legislation failed to anticipate the enormous numbers of non-White migrants who would later exploit it.

In 1952, Winston Churchill attempted to introduce legislation to restrict Caribbean migrants from gaining permanent residency and citizenship. His efforts failed, blocked by the very Act of 1948. Britain, unravelled by a single piece of legislation.

The so called โ€˜British valuesโ€™ of โ€˜toleranceโ€™ and โ€˜diversityโ€™ endlessly promoted today are myths. We conquered the world and then attempted to keep our colonial subjects out of Britain itself. Our history was one of strength, achievement and glory, not tolerance and diversity.

No one voted for mass immigration or demographic transformation. These modern โ€˜valuesโ€™ were created by internationalist scoundrels who use them to justify flooding Europe with the third world, so they can profit off cheap labour.

Never let them tell you that Britain invited these people here. Donโ€™t let them gaslight you.“]

Also, with her husband now imprisoned for the next few years (over 5 years sentence, so maybe out in 2 or so), she can consign him to the wastepaper basket and live as a lesbianka in London.

As I guessed before 2024 would happen with Starmer-stein, Burnham has failed before he has even started.

I suppose that Burnham can see that the Labour MP cadre is going to be severely culled whenever the next general election is held, so has decided to 1. try to keep the non-white/Muslim/Pakistani vote as far as possible, and 2. try to win back the white English/British etc 2024 Green Party voters.

Burnham’s problem is that both of those groups together add up to no more than 25%, at most, of the potential electorate.

Meanwhile, all the signs are that the whole society is slowly collapsing, leading to frustration, and then rage…and, down the line, a demand for proper social-national government.

Translates to a Commons with about 258 Reform UK MPs (68 short of a majority), 100 Cons (weak official Opposition), 97 Lab, 69 LibDems, 60 Greens, 42 SNP [etc].

Either Reform minority govt. with Con support, or some kind of unlikely “grand coalition” of non-Reform parties.

The uncertainty and weakness will be good for social nationalism to grow.

The white South Africans, especially the English-speaking ones, were weak. They compromised, gave up their power (which included tanks, jet fighters and bombers, even germinal nuclear and biological weapons) for a promise of some faked “rainbow nation” bs. In the final analysis, they gave up their supremacy for the chance keeping their swimming pools and wealth, and to drive around in jeeps wearing stupid rugby shirts. They failed.

Now South Africa is only about 5% white, and is descending into savagery. What a surprise.

That is the pro-EU lunatic in a Johnny Walker hat and strange costume who rants constantly using a loudhailer. I recall him blocking Whitehall a few years ago when my taxi was trying to get through. Luckily for him, I was not driving my own car.

Ecce “democracy”…

Also, regard the msm scribblers and their world-view. According to Sam Coates, Burnham is at “peak popularity” because he managed, with the help of a massive Labour and sympathetic-msm campaign, to persuade half of the Makerfield voters who even bothered to vote (less than 60% of those eligible bothered to vote) to vote for him. Is that his supposed peak popularity, the votes of 25,000 residents of a Mancunian suburb?

That cannot be extrapolated to the rest of the country.

I believe that the name is in fact Roman Gofman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Gofman

That refers to the lunatic mentioned earlier, one Steve Bray. He was blasting out the Ode to Joy, from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, from the Whitehall entrance to Downing Street.

Net, 11% would be more likely to vote Labour, not 19%.

Looks like Burnham might seriously dent the Green Party vote, though. That might make it possible for Labour to retain Starmer’s seat at Holborn and St. Pancras, which will soon become the scene of another by-election. The Greens will be the main challengers there.

Fact.

The decline in fertility across the world is a stunning but relatively little-discussed fact.

I think, subject to correction, that that news about India means that the only remaining parts of the world where the populations are growing via births, rather than from mass migration, are Pakistan, Bangladesh, and parts of Africa. Unfortunately, these are some of the most backward, and least useful, people on Earth, and are also those who, among others, are invading Europe (and elsewhere) on the mass scale at the present time.

[Germany 1945: “We are fighting for the future of our children!“]

The population of the world now stands at about double what it was in 1970. There may, quite soon, soon be a collapse in the population of the world. If, then, the European peoples can reassert their supremacy, the whole world will benefit and move into a new age, aided by European-controlled AI and robotics.

Our numbers, as Europeans, or European-origined people living elsewhere in the world, are small compared to the non-whites in the world, true, but our historical armies, navies and air forces can be replaced by huge new robot armies, and by drones in the air and at sea.

This is no longer science fiction but, germinally, everyday fact. Look at the war in Ukraine, and what is happening in the Middle East.

Even a former “Conservative” lady (ex-wife of a former Con Party MP), and with some very odd and badly-thought-out “antifascist” opinions, rather likes Kenyon, the Reform UK candidate at Makerfield.

Kenyon has made some vulgar remarks (mainly about Carol Vorderman, who is quite vulgar enough already), but is a genuine local person, and not at all like Andy Burnham, who is a pro-immigration and anti-free speech careerist and freeloader.

Labour seem to be slightly ahead at Makerfield, ahead of Reform (Restore also doing well in third place, and the Green loonie nowhere), but the game is far from over. Maybe Reform can still pull it off.

They call that “democracy”, it seems. Farcical.

For once, I agree with him, except that the suggested database needs to go back to 1967, and not be limited to those with Israeli or dual Israeli-UK nationality.

Jews go from the UK to be trained in the use of weapons, explosives, knives, and unarmed martial arts such as the brutal streetfighting techniques of Krav Maga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krav_Maga].

In effect, such “British” Jews are trained potential terrorists, albeit that they have not, most of them, been activated, but are, effectively, “sleeper agents”. They form a potential pool of active agents, or support-cadres, for Israeli Intelligence agencies such as MOSSAD and Aman and, in times of trouble, a pool of potential active urban guerrillas under direct Israeli control.

A real British government would take the necessary measures to contain, at the least, this potentially dangerous group.

One of the big questions is as to whether Restore (not mentioned in that poll) and Reform are fishing in the same pool, or whether one (Restore?) or both are, or will be, able to get usual non-voters, those disgusted by the choice previously available, out to vote. In other words, is the “nationalist” vote around 30%, or could it be 35%, 40%, or even 50%?Open question.

Taking that opinion poll as stated though, it translates to a Commons with about 378 Reform MPs (excellent majority), LibDems 60 (very weak official Opposition), Lab 56, Greens 54, SNP 44, and Cons 39 [etc].

Incidentally, on those figures, Labour would lose both Holborn and St. Pancras (Starmer’s seat) and Makerfield (which may or may not be Andy Burnham’s new seat); the former to the Greens, the latter to Reform.

Let us say, though, that Restore fights all of the GE seats contested by Reform (and the System parties). Even were Restore to win almost no seats, that would badly damage Reform, almost certainly. A hung Parliament might be the result.

Labour will probably be utterly trashed in the local elections, and I doubt that Cons will do much better. Only 8 days to go.

“Starmer” and “loyalty” are two words rarely if ever found in the same sentence.

Of course, Russia could end this war overnight, by using a nuclear weapon on Kiev. It does not intend to do that, though, and for several reasons: the millennium-long mutual and indeed joint history of Russia and Ukraine; the close ethno-cultural relationship between Russians and Ukrainians, going back many centuries; also, humanitarian and environmental reasons.

Even discounting all of the above reasons, Russia will not use nuclear weapons in this near-civil war because Russia wants to rule a productive Eastern Ukraine, not a charred and radioactive wasteland.

I have blogged several times about this in recent years.

The whole “we need workers” propaganda nonsense omits crucial facts:

  1. Many immigrants do not work anyway, but are totally parasitic;
  2. Many who do work, eg in the NHS, then invite (up to 20) non-working “dependants” and “family members” into the UK;
  3. As the immigrant workers age, they themselves will become a burden on the State, thus “requiring” even more immigrants to help deal with them;
  4. Robotics and AI will eventually make most forms of low-paid and even much currently “high-paid” employment unnecessary, leading by necessity to implementation of a “basic income” system, but that cannot work at all when millions of parasites arrive here annually.

“…and a good job too!“, to quote from Trial by Jury

Why should British people sink even deeper into the mire merely to challenge Russia, a country which poses no threat to us at all, except that “NATO” (NWO/ZOG) has been goading it for 35 years (and Russia has felt compelled to respond).

Dan Hodges actually thinks that the UK should or somehow “has to” go to war with Russia, a war which would leave Britain a charred, irradiated island of dead souls.

Translates to a Commons with about 285 Reform UK MPs (41 short of an overall majority), Cons 98 (official Opposition in the absence of a coalition), Greens 88, LibDems 68, SNP 45, Lab 38 [etc].

As in all recent polling, Starmer would, on those figures, lose his seat.

As often previously blogged, underwhelming Reform is still in pole position but the voters are unenthusiastic, voting against Lab and Con rather than for Reform as such. I think the same or similar is true of the Greens, mutatis mutandis.

The longer this goes on, the less will voters be willing to stay within the traditional LibLabCon matrix, but will be open to radical new parties and policies.

I am far less worried about an attack on London (from anywhere) than I should have been had I thought much about it years ago. Mainly because, as time goes by, I like London (where I lived for many years) less and less.

Incidentally, how far can the Israeli missiles reach? Don’t imagine that they would never attack the UK; they have done so in the past, and they already have a large, mainly Jewish, “fifth column” here…

Incidentally, I now see the msm ramping up the fear-factor, as seen prior to the invasion of Iraq nearly 25 years ago. Today, “Iran has the means to attack the UK” etc. All those years ago, many people believed that Saddam Hussein’s Iraq also not only had the means to attack the UK with “weapons of mass destruction”, but could do so in less than 40 minutes. Both untrue. Propaganda.

The Israeli pathology and the American are similar in that sense. Both think themselves entitled to bomb others, while they themselves remain immune from attack. However, when they themselves do suffer attacks, they scream, and take on a “victim” persona, as we saw when New York was attacked in 2001.

Gaza is one big war crime, committed by the Israeli state, supported by the Israeli Jews (most of them), and supported by the Jewish/Israeli lobby in the USA, UK, Australia, France etc.

The other messages would have been even more incriminating, the ones about how Israel and the Jewish lobby have been and still are contaminating UK politics and the UK legal system.

The Murdoch enterprises own and control some of the most pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby media outlets in the UK too, such as the pathetic online “Talk TV”.

That is exactly what “they” do.

[cf. the scams and attempted scams of the same sort by washed-up and incompetent/dishonest Jew-Zionist lawyer Mark Lewis, his wife/carer Mandy Blumenthal, Jewish scribbler Sabrina Miller, and the malicious Jew-Zionist cabal known as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (use the search box on the blog).]

Incidentally, unpleasant Jewish scribbler Zoe Strimpel writes that she just happened to “pop into” that art exhibition. Really? Well, I suppose that that may be true, but she lives in a heavily-Jewish area of North London, according to Wikipedia, and that would be 90-100 miles from Margate.

The usual Jewish-Zionist contrived scandal and noise, in short.

As a matter of fact, I also dislike what I have seen (online) of that exhibition, but only because it is “art” on, at best, a primary school level. Unlike the repressive activist Jews, though, I would not want to ban the exhibition (though neither would I, had I the political power, subsidize it).

They are a horrible tribe.

I was previously unaware of that. Also may explain why American feminists are so pro-abortion; most of the famous 20thC “pioneers” of feminism in the USA were Jewish.

Very evil. After all, babies born prematurely, whether naturally or via surgical intervention and for medical reasons, and even if born months prematurely, are usually able to live entirely normal lives.

The Jewish/Israel lobby has a stranglehold on the mass media, almost all politicians, and most lawyers and legal institutions (including the police, the courts, and the majority of judges) in the USA and UK and some other countries.

Spectacular, but most of the “space” stuff internationally, both public and private, is just a colossal waste of resources, time, and effort.

[“An extract from the book they donโ€™t want you to read – Suicide of a Nation

There are moments in the life of a nation when everything changes โˆ’ not with a bang, not even with a conscious decision, but with a quiet, creeping loss of confidence so profound that a people start to forget who they are.

Britain, I believe, is living through such a moment.

The institutions that once embodied our nation โˆ’ Parliament, the civil ยญservice, the courts, the police, the BBC, ยญuniversities, schools, corporate executives, the Church, museums โˆ’ have drifted away from the public they exist to serve.

Our country is now in the grip of a new ruling class which sees itself not as ยญcustodians of a ยญliving nation but as supervisors of a global ยญproject that has no borders, no limits and no loyalty to the people whose taxes fund their salaries.

It is a belief that moral worth is measured not by defending your country but by demonstrating infinite generosity to the rest of the world, even when this threatens the survival of your own nation.

Within just one generation, because of the trends I set out in this book, Britain will no longer be Britain. England will no longer be England.

The country that our ancestors built will be replaced by something else.

Britain is not being conquered or invaded.

Worse: it is being abandoned by the leaders who were meant to protect it.

As the historian and philosopher Arnold J. Toynbee once said: โ€˜Civilisations die from suicide, not by murder.โ€™

Across Britain โ€“ in cities, towns, villages and suburbs โˆ’ many people are now experiencing the same private, unspoken sense of shock.

You walk down a street you once knew but no longer recognise.

You visit the place where you were born yet feel like a stranger.

You hear languages that are not your own.

You see customs and cultures you do not share.

The country of your childhood seems to exist only in old films, documentaries, ยญfading books and nostalgia reels on social media.

What is a nation?

It is a community bound by a shared identity, history, culture and way of life.

It is filled with your relatives, ancestors and neighbours, who you know and trust, and whose graves, stories and memories lie around you.

Yet a survey last year by pollsters More In Common found that nearly half of Britons now feel โ€˜like a stranger in my own countryโ€™.

Significantly, many people from minority backgrounds experience this profound sense of loss just as strongly as their white British counterparts.

Yet whenever anyone articulates this creeping sense of dispossession, they are shamed, silenced or mocked by the elites who are imposing these changes on them.

What we are witnessing is not just a small adjustment, a temporary shift, or the gentle evolution of a nation.

It is something far more dramatic and potentially permanent.

It is the deliberate and sustained transformation of our country.

Nations do not remain the same if the people who shaped them, built them and embody them collapse into minority status.

But this is what is happening.

According to my analysis, which I set out in the book, by the year 2100, the share of Britainโ€™s population made up of White Britons (roughly 95 per cent of the country in the 1990s) will collapse to just 33 per cent.

The proportion of people who are foreign-born or the immediate descendants of the foreign-born will rise from 19 per cent to more than 60 per cent.

Muslims will go from representing about one in every 17 people to one in every four โ€“ and one in every three among the young.

This will all happen within the lifetime of a child born today โ€“ in the next 74 years.

The ethnic and cultural core of a nation is what holds it in place, like an anchor.

It is what provides us with a sense of shared identity, culture, history, collective memory, and way of life.

But once this anchor gives way, there is nothing to hold the nation in place.“]

[Matt Goodwin]

I can agree with all of that, yet Goodwin still refuses to note that the Jewish/Zionist element (and the connected transnational NWO/ZOG cabal) is that which has been prominent in almost all of the matters raised by him in his extract (I have not read the book itself).

Indeed, I myself have been blogging about all of those matters for 9 years (since late 2016) and, before that, tweeting in similar vein (until a pack of Jews in and/or connected to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” had me expelled from Twitter in 2018 after a long and conspiratorial effort).

I agree.

I have no idea where that disorder is or was (but obviously in the UK, seeing the Tesco sign), or what it is about specifically, and I could not care less.

See also, from the blog in 2017:

Let’s discover what that old Jew was up to on the “Lolita Express” planes, and on the “Lolita Island”, both owned by the Jew Epstein before the latter “went up the chimney”.

Dershowitz claims not to have been involved in Epstein’s sex crimes, and he may not have been (we do not know) but, in that case, what is the connection; what was he doing there? (bearing in mind that the whole Epstein operation, and all or virtually all of Epstein’s wealth, was bankrolled by Israeli Intelligence —MOSSAD, Aman etc— for purposes of political, military, and commercial intelligence).

…and what skills are they supposed to be?

Stupid Trump has really ignited something, and cannot now easily stop it.

Even some of the Jews see what Israel is doing.

[“As a local man, a father, and a husband, Sam simply wanted to raise awareness about the devastating impact of mass immigration and how that threatens the future of our communities.

His vehicle for achieving this would be through a sticker campaign; for years Sam ran this peaceful campaign that would ultimately remove him from his family and put him in prison. Here’s exactly what happened.“]

[“2/ Between 2019 and 2021, Sam ran the Hundred Handers โ€“ an online group providing downloadable stickers for people to put up around the country.

His aim was straightforward: highlight how rapid demographic change through mass immigration is transforming Britain beyond recognition, warning that native Brits could become a minority in our homeland by 2066, as data projected.“]

[“3/ The stickers carried clear messages like:

โ€œItโ€™s OK to be Whiteโ€
โ€œReject White Guiltโ€
โ€œWe will be a minority in our homeland by 2066โ€
and โ€œMass immigration is white genocideโ€.

Far from an attempt to mobilise a mob through a call to violence; rather, Sam intended to spark conversation on issues politicians outright refused to address.“]

[“4/ But Sam was targeted. Police had monitored him for years because of his nativist politics and work with Patriotic Alternative.

In 2021, he was finally arrested. The authorities werenโ€™t interested in debate โ€“ in fact, they wanted to completely shut him down, for his rhetoric was not โ€œstate-approvedโ€.]

[“5/ At Leeds Crown Court he faced serious charges: 11 counts under Section 19 of the Public Order Act 1986 for โ€œintending to stir up racial hatredโ€ by distributing written material, plus encouraging racially aggravated criminal damage under the Serious Crime Act 2007.

Even though his messaging was factually based on official projections, which the prosecution also acknowledged, prosecutors focused instead on his political intent.“]

[“6/ The judge overseeing the case, Tom Bayliss KC, made the political nature of the case obvious during sentencing in March 2024.

He branded Sam a โ€œracist and white supremacistโ€, claimed he held โ€œNazi sympathiesโ€ and was an โ€œantisemiteโ€. The judge called the stickers โ€œcorrosive to our societyโ€ and warned they risked normalising antisemitism not seen since 1930s Germany.“]

[“7/ For the crime of allowing members of the public to download stickers, Sam was sentenced to two years in prison, missing out on precious time with his family โ€” including not being present at the birth of his second child โ€” serving a total of 10 months inside.

A Leeds manโ€™s life disrupted for years โ€“ not for any crime of violence, but for expressing love for his own people on their own land. It makes you wonder how the scales have been skewed against those who promote nativist politics.“]

[“8/ This case shows the real motivation: the criminalisation of nativist patriots who dare speak about demographic replacement and cultural change.

While two-tier justice ignores far worse crimes, like illegal immigrants raping literal children, patriots like Sam are stripped of their freedoms, imprisoned, and labelled fascist monsters.

This is precisely why we need to Restore Britain. Criminal justice must be restored to protect our people, not persecute them. This is a monumental task that is going to require huge repeals and constitutional restoration. Nativist patriots should feel no shame โ€“ this is OUR land. Standing up for it is natural and right!

The animals which suffer by reason of human conflict despite having had no part in its instigation or execution.

God knows what it would look like if one or more nuclear missiles were to land. When I was living intermittently in the New York/New Jersey area in the early 1990s, much of New York City already looked in a bad way, to say the least, but a nuclear attack would take everything to a level no-one wants to see.

It was always more likely that the Kiev regime blew the dam, rather than the Russian forces.

Embarrassing, but the avoider cannot be entirely blamed. Serving on the front lines of the Ukrainian Army seems to be tantamount to a death sentence. The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers, and having to use press-gangs.

A reminder about the fund set up to enable “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch) to resettle when he is eventually released from prison sometime in 2024.

Well, I disagree with the assumption of the question, but that result must be accurate as far as it goes.

When will the UK (particularly England) be majority non-white? Some say 2066, others 2050. Maybe even 2040. The Great Replacement. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

Eventually, the sliding standards in all areas (NHS, policing, education) will be scarcely noticed, because the non-whites accept rubbish administration, potholed roads, creaking railway infrastructure etc as normal.

Of course, get accused of saying something about the bad behaviour of some ethnic group (especially Jews) and the police will spend endless hours “investigating” your speech, tweets, blog posts etc…

Penny Mordaunt is yet another of those MPs who have no intellectual or —crucially— financial independence, which means that she is totally dependent on the favour of the System.

As Marx predicted.

AI and robotics will finish the process. Untold millions of British and other workers will fall into unemployment and poverty, because their labour will not be required, having been largely replaced by ever more sophisticated machines. Without pay, and dependent on State benefits, they will be unable to buy the luxury, or even basic, products of the AI/robotics economy.

In those circumstances, “basic income” schemes will be brought in (we already see a crippled version of that with the UK’s “Universal Credit”).

In the end, in the title of the David Icke book, there may be a”robot’s rebellion” by the human beings thrown on the scrapheap, unless the people are too drugged by the opiates of the age, i.e. televized football, pop music, “celebrity” nonsense etc.

What is required is not 1930s National Socialism, as such, but a form of social nationalism which honours 1930s National Socialism and contains within it the essence of National Socialism.

Robotics Might Save the Railways

The rail system in the UK is a mess. Start from basics: rail travel, when it started (in England, in the world) in the 19th century, was a fast expanding private enterprise system of competing lines. These lines (companies) solidified into an efficient cartel by the time of the First World War. During the war itself, the railways were under State control (and until 1921). The Railways Act 1923 put the de facto private cartel on a statutory basis, with four large railway companies running virtually all passenger and freight services. Profitability waned with the coming of cars and road freight so that, by the time of nationalization in 1948, losses threatened. This became reality in 1955, when British Rail recorded its first operating loss.

The “modernization” plans adopted from 1955 culminated in the Beeching Report of 1963 and the subsequent and consequent closures of lines, services and stations. More than a third of passenger services were closed down. The closures of railway stations were even more dramatic: out of 7,000 stations, more than 4,000 were shut.

The 1990s privatization was carried out in a manner so poorly-conceived that only free-market ideologues who knew little of the realities of how to run a railroad could ever have decided upon it. I do not propose to delve into the detail here (and I myself am no expert anyway), except to say that there seems to be a good case for re-nationalization, possibly on a low-compensation or even an expropriation basis.

What of the future? We see that, all over the world, even in the UK, that driverless train transport, indeed driverless transport generally, is becoming common. Many British people will have travelled on limited forms of automated transport such as the Docklands Light Railway or the monorail at Gatwick Airport which connects the main terminal with another. It would be possible to run many more light rail and ultralight rail services on new branch lines, connecting with existing mainline stations and lines. Indeed, computerized and robotized ultralight narrow-gauge trains could run from towns, villages and suburbs not presently connected to rail, such lines terminating at an existing railway station. A whole huge new web of public transport could come into operation in this manner, eventually becoming more dense even than the railway system that existed before the 1960s. At the extremities, such lines could be narrow-gauge and the trains very small, perhaps single carriage. The expense, though considerable, would be worthwhile, knitting together a country which has become dislocated.

Road transport will be the dominant mode for the foreseeable future, but if an enhanced branch line network can take even 10% of passenger journeys off the roads, the cost of the new system will perhaps have been justified on that basis alone.
