[“Britain is the only Western country where the police will turn up at your door for a tweet, but somehow never seem to find the time when actual criminals are running the streets.

They’ll lecture you about “hate speech” while the establishment destroys the country’s energy security with Net Zero virtue-signalling that makes your bills higher and industry uncompetitive.

Public water supply, on the large scale, has to be in public ownership.

Yet many people, brainwashed by the System msm, will still vote System (Con, Lab, or the joke LibDems), in the belief that the longstanding System parties are more credible than others, even though that flies in the face of decades of their own lived experience.

If only the initial 2022 invasion by Russian forces had been planned and executed properly, in the Soviet fashion. A blitzkrieg for the sake of mercy.

Dan Hodges is not really a journalist in the traditional sense, more a tendentious and obsessed talking-head and scribbler.

Not very polite, but more or less what Hodges deserves…

I have little time for Farage, ideologically. His pro-Jew, pro-Israel stances, if nothing else, ensure that. His globalist and mindless “libertarianism” too.

Having said that, the “stunt” at Clacton was surely the stupid and meaningless “Count Binface” stunt, which was expressly backed by so many of the tired “woke” types on Twitter/X and in the msm (including Hodges).

The fact is that the old System parties, the LibLabCon-men (and women) are still running scared of Reform UK and, potentially, even more so of what can be seen coming down the tracks after Reform: maybe Restore Britain and, then, after that, real social nationalism.

The traditional System parties ran scared of Farage and Reform at Clacton. Had any of them thought they had a chance, they would have stood candidates. None did. They knew that Farage would beat them easily.

The “Binface” stunt showed, actually, how meaningless the Parliamentary circus is. More than 9,000 cretins (or disenchanted) voted for the “Binface” stunt nitwit. I suppose that, had the System parties stood, Lab and LibDem would have lost their deposits or nearly so (as happened in 2024), and that the Con candidate would have received a few thousand votes and probably come second.

Unable to say more about the actual result (i.e. Farage and Reform getting 63.34% of the vote, as against 46.2% in 2024), the msm scribblers have decided that the big story is that Farage did not turn up for the official declaration…

All the traditional churches (and their offshoot organizations) have fallen into decadence and evil.

Latest vlog from Bealtaine Cottage

Some of her comments show an (inchoate) understanding of the encroaching evil in the world, evil using bureaucracy —and endless laws and regulations— as a cloak. She also realizes that that has increased and encroached more since the “Covid” scamdemic of 2020-2022.

As blogged yesterday, Burnham is out of his depth. Not as obviously evil as his predecessor, Starmer-stein, but so far pretty obviously without real ideas, and anyway without the means or references to radically improve things in the UK.

Anyone caught deliberately setting fires at the present time (as allegedly happened in the Stourbridge case) should be executed in the field, no matter whether they are 50 years old, 20, or (as implied) about 15.

Another commentator addicted to the “we did this” idea. No, “we” did not do this; a few malicious little bastards did it (it seems), and they should be caught and executed in the field. No need for a trial. Executive action.

In fact, that tweeter really knows that “we” are not doing it: see

I have already stated my view. A couple of field executions, and the deliberate fire-raising would stop.

[“NEW: Labour MP Rachael Maskell, who once said that it doesn’t matter if mass migration causes longer NHS waiting times in working class areas, has attacked plans to house more migrants near her 90% white constituency of York Central.

She has described the plans as “unsuitable”, claiming it will cause a strain on local resources.

Funny how that works.”]

So it begins…

Rachael Maskell is an idiot (and clearly a hypocrite), but no worse than most MPs now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachael_Maskell.

Those who want more migration (invasion) into the UK, or think it not a big issue, are either traitors to the future of the British people, or totally deluded. Mass immigration impacts almost everything: housing, road and rail capacity, education, pay, State benefits (including pensions), social services, NHS services, policing, even water supply.

Don’t forget the “Conservative” (((Conservative))) Party, which presided over massive migration-invasion from 2010-2024.

[“PRIME MINISTER ANDY BURNHAM — COME TO PIDDINGTON. @andyburnham See what Whitehall sees only on a map. A village of 350 people. 46 children. No shop. No pub. No substantial infrastructure. Drive the fast rural roads — stretches with no pavement and no safe pedestrian route to the nearest town, six miles away. Now consider the proposal: accommodation for up to 1,250 male asylum seekers on the edge of our village. More than three times our entire population. Explain to our 46 children and their families how a development of this scale will work safely. Tell us where the infrastructure is. Tell us what the policing plan is — because when we asked, none was provided. Cherwell District Council has stated there was no prior engagement or consultation before the announcement. Explain why. You have spoken about giving places outside Westminster a voice. Ours is clear. 96% of those voting supported a referendum on our future. We are not asking you to read another letter. We are asking you to come here. Walk the village. Meet the residents. See the roads. Answer the questions. Do not make decisions about Piddington from Whitehall. 350 people. 46 children. One village that refuses to be ignored. We are Piddington. THE VILLAGE THAT ROARED“]

System MPs, ministers, and prime ministers take no notice of letters, petitions, tweets, or blog posts for that matter. Only one thing really scares them, and I cannot specify what that is, because the UK is nowhere near a “free country” these days. Just read between the lines, as people living under unfree governments have always done.

Now, listen— those migrant-invader bastards are not welcome in these islands. They must be, to put it plainly, concentrated in guarded camps in remote parts of the UK until they can be either deported or eliminated.

Millions are on their way. Stop them, using whatever it takes. Whatever it takes.

Oh, and if the Navy or others refuse to do their duty, dismiss them all, and recruit new personnel.

The cartoonists have picked up on it:

Refers, of course, not only to the migration invasion but also to the ludicrous propaganda being pumped out on msm about how Putin and Russia want to invade Western or Central Europe and even the UK (which they could never do anyway, and would never want to do).

Taking the propaganda at its face, I should far rather be invaded by a million or more Russians (who are, overall, as a people, basically cultured, quite often of high IQ, and of European-origin for the most part) than —as now— invaded by millions of black/brown, low-IQ, low —or no— culture (sometimes subhuman) migrant invaders, many of whom have a predisposition to sex crime (in fact, do not even regard rape etc as crimes, as can be seen in criminal court reports daily now).

As far as 99% of the migrant-invaders are concerned (not just the small-boat invaders), the best that we can expect is that they will be merely an army of parasites, living off the British people. In reality, many are also involved in one or another type of crime. A few (or maybe more than a few) are also motivated by support for out-and-out terrorism. In fact, many of the invaders hate us, despite the fact that our misguided or malicious governments have been giving them shelter, food, and spending money.

We have to stop this whole invasion, get rid of the invaders already here, and make the UK, overall, an ethnostate.

I have driven past there once or twice, in more abundant days circa 2004, when the reservoir was full.

It cannot be defended. Evacuate the European population, and leave both enclaves (Ceuta and Melilla) to the invaders, but then shoot to kill any who arrive on Spanish shores, on the shores of sacred Europe.

Israel must be regarded as a pariah-state, not to be traded with, or even spoken to, by civilized Europe (Christendom, if you like).

Its “fifth columns” within Europe must be dealt with.

Bolton, a pro-“intervention” (pro-war) policy hawk (who himself however managed to avoid having to see action in Vietnam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bolton#Vietnam_War) is associated with all the usual pro-war causes (pro-Israel, pro-“Ukraine” etc): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bolton#Israel.

In short, a horrible old bastard.

The Kiev regime continues to hit purely civilian targets.

I think that the Russian side will soon get very tired of trying to very slowly advance in Eastern Ukraine, and may be wondering whether it really needs to keep Kiev and other major centres in existence.

I hope that the great city of Kiev will not be devastated or destroyed (again) but the way things are going look stormy. Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose this war.

Mini-budget of Kwasi Kwarteng and Liz Truss

https://news.sky.com/video/pound-plummets-after-mini-budget-12703855

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/09/23/mini-budget-stamp-duty-tax-cuts-ni-truss-kwarteng-ftse-100/

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/23/kwasi-kwarteng-mini-budget-key-points-at-a-glance

Aubrey Allegretti, political correspondent: Kwarteng starts by pinning the blame for inflation and spiralling energy bills directly on Putin.

[The Guardian]

Well, after all, it could not be the fault of the Boris-idiot government, which all but shut down the UK economy for 2 years for no good reason, while doling out free money like a drunken sailor…oh, wait a minute…

Aubrey Allegretti: Kwarteng seeks to turn the last 12 years of Conservative economic wisdom on its head and present the government as new and radical – rather than hanging on the coattails of the last one.

He lays out his central point that “growth is not as high as it should be”, arguing this only leads to less money to fund public services, relying on higher taxes, and so on.

“We need a new approach for a new era” should be seen as nothing less than a bid to reinvent the Conservatives and present them as a party of change – to avoid being blamed for the mistakes of the past. (Despite, of course, Truss having served in the previous three Conservative governments.)

[The Guardian].

This mini-budget is completely mad. The result can only be roaring inflation, higher interest rates for businesses and mortgage-payers, and before very long a huge spike in house-repossessions as people default on the mortgage commitments taken out in easier times.

Reducing tax for those earning over £140,000 —about 3x or 4x the average pay? That is just ridiculous and will be applied to purchase of hedging assets (including paying off any mortgage commitments such higher-earners may have).

Stimulation of the economy requires more money at the bottom end, where people are almost compelled by circumstances to spend on goods and services, not at the top end of the income scale.

Today, the pound sterling is down, as I write, by about 2%. Interest rates for UK government borrowing are rising steeply.

A budget of this sort does nothing for the poor (however defined), nothing for the bulk of the population, and only helps those already affluent or wealthy.

Indeed, it might be said that the “middle ranks”, meaning people without much capital, working for a modest living, paying off a mortgage, paying for children and a household, will be hit very hard.

If only there were an existing, tightly-controlled, social-national party, —even if small— and with credible policies and people. One does not exist. Somewhere soon down the road might come a “1929” moment. That was what started the NSDAP and Hitler on its path to glory (ultimately, tragic glory, but that is another question).

Hilary Mantel

The authoress, Hilary Mantel, has died.

I was struck by this, seen on her Wikipedia entry:

In an 2013 interview with the Telegraph, Mantel stated: “I think that nowadays the Catholic Church is not an institution for respectable people.”[5] She continued in the interview to say: “When I was a child I wondered why priests and nuns were not nicer people. I thought that they were amongst the worst people I knew.” These statements, as well as the themes explored in her earlier novel Fludd, led some to question her work in Wolf Hall, with Bishop Mark O’Toole noting: “There is an anti-Catholic thread there, there is no doubt about it. Wolf Hall is not neutral.”[46].”

[Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilary_Mantel].

I myself had no contact with Roman Catholicism as a child. Indeed, I do not think that I even knew any Roman Catholics until I was in my early 20s. All the same, the few impressions that I had then were not favourable, as when I was in Ireland aged about 21 and had left Tralee station to walk or hitch-hike to the mountains. A small car approached, the first one since Tralee. I stuck out my thumb, only for the miserable-looking bastards on board, a thin, rat-faced and bespectacled Catholic priest, and a thoroughly nasty-looking nun (who was driving), to pass me without even a glance.

After a week or so in the sea-mountains, I returned the same way. Again, a car approached. The same car. The same occupants. I thought that this time they would stop, having seen me the previous week. No. Straight on past, not sparing me a look.

Miserable bastards, whom I hope met a miserable end.

Incidentally, I did get a lift eventually, in both directions; on the journey out, from an attractive dark-haired young Irishwoman who would not accept a chocolate from me because it was Lent.

The years spin past ever-quicker. That was in early 1979, all of 43 years ago now.

Re. Therese Coffey, my assessment of her from three years ago (it includes updates) has always had a lot of hits, and that continues every day: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/16/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-therese-coffey-story/.

Exactly. Both above tweets are right. The income point however leaves out the main difference between the few and the many, the capital held by each group.

The average Joe has no, or virtually no, capital. In fact, if you leave aside any equity value in residential property owned (usually just one dwelling, and Average Joe himself lives in it), most British people really only have a tiny amount of capital, a few thousand pounds, or even just a few hundred.

The wealthy few however, are often not at all dependent on income as such, certainly not income from any ordinary job. Their capital, invested in real property, or shares etc, is the key to their wealth. Careful investment and accountancy can mean that Average Millionaire/Billionaire Joe has almost no taxable income at all, while in any given year, his capital might have increased by 20%, 50%, even 1,000%.

The wealthiest of all have seen their capital increase hugely since the last financial crash in 2008; The Elon Musks (from about USD $2 billion to about USD $277 billion— in just one decade), the Jeff Bezos’s etc.

People like that laugh at the very idea of income tax. It is simply irrelevant to most of them. Look at the Duke of Westminster, small compared to the mega-billionaires, but still worth £10 billion -£20 billion. Then compare that to the Average Joe, who might (or might not) own, even including his house equity, maybe £200,000 or so. £1 for every £100,000 owned by the Duke of Westminster, and maybe £1 for every £1,500,000 owned by Elon Musk.

I myself had a great many problems with HMRC long ago. Partly but not entirely self-inflicted, and all now (long ago, over a decade ago) resolved to my satisfaction. I never ever encountered a bureaucracy as shambolic (as well as, in some cases, unpleasant) as HMRC. Not in Eastern Europe, not in the former Soviet Union, not in the USA (which came close, at times).

Look at them: Charles, Anne, Edward, Andrew, Harry (formerly known as “Prince”), William. Are any of them beyond mediocre in intellect, character, or in any way other than unearned and unmerited wealth? Most of them do not even pay taxes.

Meanwhile, Kelvin McKenzie, formerly of the Sun “newspaper”, exposes his ignorance once again:

McKenzie seems unaware that there is more to tax than income tax and inheritance tax. To give the obvious example (obvious at least to anyone better-informed than McKenzie), everyone pays VAT, a tax which is a major contributor to State funds, and is paid disproportionately by the poorer part of the population.

I have to admit that I have little interest in the minutiae of it all, but from the ruthless, Ayn Rand, callous self-interest point of view, the Mulatta has, as they say, “played a blinder”.

Putin’s decision to invade, as such, was not a mistake, but the decision to invade without proper preparation, without a proper plan, without having eliminated Zelensky, and with no proper logistics in place, was more than a mistake. It was criminally negligent. The GRU and General Staff should be purged, cut to the bone. Start again, as Stalin did.

It could have been done swiftly, with minimal hurt and damage.

Where can I get one of those? Or both.

True, but remember how Blair, and Brown in particular, worshipped the banking “industry” (sometimes useful but basically parasitic service industry).

More thoughts about the “mini-Budget”

Seems that “the markets” are dropping like a stone.

I mean, a simple-minded, almost cretinous Budget, announced by a woolly-headed ****** posing as Chancellor of the Exchequer; then we have a semi-educated half-caste with a “degree” in Hospitality Management posing as Foreign Secretary, and a stupid and ridiculous woman (who only became an MP on her back), actually posing as Prime Minister….what could possibly go wrong?

Jesus Christ! Is that stupid lot the best “the great Conservative Party” (in the words of Disraeli, his sentence ending “which destroys everything“…) can do? And is that hopelessly banal package of economic measures the summation of their thoughts?

Pity. I do not like the Gulf Arab “states”.

Liz Truss. The latest clown to pose as Prime Minister of the UK.

There is a way to deal with these people, with these evils; only one way, really…

The Jew-Zionists are behind much of the attack on free speech. About 90% of it.

I remember when, in the 1980s, a load of caravan-dwelling “travellers” decided to camp on Hampstead Heath, near the opulent house of “socialist” humbug Michael Foot. Suddenly, the great champion of the “rights” of the Gypsies and “travellers” (Irish tinkers) was against them camping near his house…

Foot was a hypocrite of the first order; I could not stand the bastard.
