“It was a unique illness that globally killed millions. Commonly known as Spanish flu, it so overwhelmed Mary Wiseman that in delirium, she not only cut her own throat but also stabbed her baby daughter.“
[Bournemouth Echo]
Well worth reading.
Incidentally, as that report makes plain, the “Spanish Flu” (which in fact seems to have originated in the USA, specifically in Kansas) is variously estimated to have killed anywhere from 17 to 50 million people worldwide (including 200,000 in the UK), which certainly puts the “Covid” “panicdemic” in perspective.
While 200,000+ are supposed to have died “with Covid” in the UK over the five years 2020-2025 (mostly in 2020-2022), almost all of those deaths were in fact from other causes and/or from normal winter influenza (reclassified, in effect, as “Covid” deaths).
Did the authorities of 1918-1919 “lock down” the country, or the world? No. Life continued.

I happened to notice that a blog post from several years ago had a few hits this morning. I took a look and saw the following paragraphs written by me. Still correct, I think…
“Definitions: “British expat“— someone who lives and works temporarily in another country/society, or retires there with a pension and/or capital, or goes to live in another closely-connected white society such as Australia or New Zealand. Will have arrived in that country lawfully, and is almost invariably an asset to the host country.
“Migrant“, aka “migrant-invader“— today usually a black or brown person, who may or may not have arrived lawfully in the UK (or other white European-race country), who will almost invariably have no capital or income, and will almost certainly be a drain on the public funds of the UK or other unwillingly-hosting country. The invader will either be unwilling to work (except for extra and untaxed cash while also claiming State welfare benefits), or be unable to work at anything beyond the lowest grade of employment by reason of having few if any marketable skills, no usable qualifications, and often little or no English language proficiency. A millstone round the neck of the UK (etc).
Anyone who equates “Brit expat” with black/brown migrant-invader is not only very mistaken, but a complete idiot (and/or malicious).”

“A new civil service internship scheme will be open only to working-class students as part of a drive to make Whitehall better reflect the country, the government has said.
The programme will give students from lower-income backgrounds the chance to apply for paid government placements. The definition of working class will be based on what jobs were held by their parents when the applicant was 14 and replaces an existing programme open to all.
The Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden said the action was being taken because applicants from lower socioeconomic backgrounds were less likely to get a place on the so-called fast stream.“

As with several of the policies unveiled by Starmer-stein’s government, one can only shake the head at the sheer wrongheadedness of it.
It is a wrongful policy for several reasons, one of which is that it is likely to encourage blacks and browns to rule, probably incompetently, over the UK.

“Baroness” Deech, a Jew-Zionist academic now elevated to the House of Lords, headed the Bar Standards Board, or BSB, when “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”], of which she was also a member, complained about my socio-political views, in or about 2014.
The “baroness” was still, I believe, the head of the BSB when the decision was taken to haul me before a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal, though by the time the “trial” took place, in 2016, she had been replaced by another mouthpiece for Israel and the Jewish lobby, a retired diplomat who had been involved in recovering property allegedly confiscated from Jews in mainland Europe in the 1930s and 1940s.
In other words, the Jewish/pro-Jewish influence on the BSB meant that the decision to “prosecute” me was flawed ab initio, being totally unobjective; biased.
I made those points at my Tribunal hearing in late 2016, but the chairman of the panel, a retired circuit judge, refused to take them as particularly significant, though he described my overall “case” as “unprecedented.”
Incidentally, the malicious Jewish cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] was also involved in conspiring to get me disbarred, behind the scenes, though the actual complaint was formally signed off by yet another “UKLFI” (etc) Jewish barrister (of whom I had never heard), one Goldberg, now about 80 and apparently once Counsel for, inter alia, the infamous part-Jew gangsters, the Krays.
“Baroness” Deech is or was also a leading member or supporter of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”…

The complaint detailed how UKLFI and CAA have helped egitimise Israel’s racist, apartheid and genocidal policies. It also states both groups have been making malicious complaints to universities, employers, and regulatory bodies to silence pro-Palestinian voices. These actions have caused serious harm to individuals. The Charity Commission must end the charity cover used to provide an advocacy infrastructure in support of genocide.

We have made an agreement with Vladimir Putin which, if accepted by others, could end the conflict. Moreover, we have made it clear to Ukraine and Europe that if they do not accept it, we will withdraw. However, sooner or later the situation on the battlefield will develop so that they will have no choice but to accept peace with the Russians” he added.“]
Quite. Russia is not only winning on the battlefield, but winning decisively, if slowly. There may be a massive breakthrough soon.
Whatever criticisms can be levelled at the Chinese government and Chinese society, it has to be admitted that their achievements over the past 40 years have been incredible.
Realistically, one can see what is going on here. The Army wants to tick the “we’re rough and ready, if need be” boxfor benefit of those MPs (and the general public) rather than say the truth, i.e. “we have only a few tens of thousands of soldiers, maybe 70,000 at most, and only a few thousand of those are really battle-ready in any sense“…
Another truthful response might be “in any real war between Russia and NATO forces, much of Europe will become a devastated and irradiated wasteland, and the UK would probably be the worst-hit of all, with its US air bases and the Trident submarine pens in Scotland” (submarine pens do exist in Western France as well, though fully under French command).
In reality, the UK is only a major player in that deadly game because it is an “unsinkable aircraft carrier” for the US forces. Why are our treacherous NWO/ZOG governments still playing that 1940s-1980s Cold War game, and why are they pretending that “we” can fight Russia (in any way at all)? Indeed, why are they still pretending that “we” might “have to” fight Russia anyway, when Russia has no interest in invading Western Europe, Central Europe, or even (most of) Eastern Europe?

Look at Goodwin’s face! The “cuck” is terrified of even slightly “offending” the Jew-Zionist lobby and its Israeli hub.
I agree with much of that which Goodwin has been saying in recent months. I agree with much, not all, of Reform UK’s views. However, they have several very weak points in their armour. The worst is, of course, this pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby viewpoint, which may be partly sincerely-held (though, if so, it does not say much for Goodwin’s, Farage’s, or Tice’s perspicacity), but is evidently partly in place because Goodwin/Farage/Tice/Reform are afraid of being “cancelled” on TV, radio, newspapers, social media etc by the power and influence of the Jewish/Israeli lobby.

There are other aspects to Reform UK policy which may put off large numbers of voters, particularly its pseudo-“libertarian” socio-economics, but also the fact that Reform will not deport “legal” non-European migrant-invaders, only (they say) the “illegals”. I doubt whether they will even do that on a large scale, but they say they will…
Reform’s only useful function, in my view, is to break up the existing System “three main parties” scam. Once that is achieved, we’ll see.
I agree, largely, with this, though:

The voters have, most of them, already turned away from both Lab and Con, though the LibDems, as traditional default alternative or dustbin have managed to entice many former Con voters, and many young voters.
The flaws in the Reform policy offering may not much affect the overall result, because people are thoroughly sick of Lab and Con and want things to start to work properly again, putting it at most basic. Lab and Con both have to be destroyed; Reform is the only immediate way to do that.

Perhaps so, but what about the Jew-Zionist-Israel lobby, which suborns police and CPS, and makes false, lying, and indeed perjuring, allegations and accusations to police, professional regulators, the mass media etc under the anti-“antisemitism” banner?
In the UK, the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby is the main danger to free speech and general freedom of expression.

This brings the official number of migrant crossings this month to 3,303 in 68 boats – an average of 49 people crammed into each inflatable dinghy or other small craft.

“Iceland suspends annual whale hunt in move that likely spells end to controversial practice.
Decision comes after a government report found the hunt does not comply with Iceland’s Animal Welfare Act.
Iceland’s government has said it is suspending this year’s whale hunt until the end of August due to animal welfare concerns, a move that is likely to bring the controversial practice to an end.
Animal rights groups and environmentalists hailed the decision, with the Humane Society International calling it “a major milestone in compassionate whale conservation”.
Shocking video clips broadcast by the veterinary authority showed a whale’s agony as it was hunted for five hours.
The country has only one remaining whaling company, Hvalur, and its licence to hunt fin whales expires in 2023. Another company stopped for good in 2020, saying it was no longer profitable.
Iceland’s whaling season runs from mid-June to mid-September, and it is doubtful Hvalur would head out to sea that late in the season.
Annual quotas authorise the killing of 209 fin whales – the second-longest marine mammal after the blue whale – and 217 minke whales, one of the smallest species. But catches have fallen drastically in recent years due to a dwindling market for whale meat.

Navigation on the Moskva river, which runs through the Russian 🇷🇺 capital Moscow, was temporarily suspended on Saturday amid a mutiny by the Wagner mercenary group, the state TASS news agency TASS reported, citing the authoritieshttps://t.co/Qg18KzpHCohttps://t.co/tcL4MsKyqF
Well, if Prigozhin actually topples Putin, then he follows in the tradition of Russian revolutionary leaders (and others) having (in the Russian word) “sat” in prison. Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky etc. They were there mainly for political crimes, though, whereas Prigozhin was imprisoned for crimes of acquisition: fraud, theft, robbery, burglary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Prigozhin#Early_life. He did 9 years altogether.
Also, the conditions of confinement for the Bolshevik leaders were comfortable, once they arrived in Siberian exile. Houses in remote villages, not much restraint on their liberty, and Lenin was even allowed a hunting rifle with ammunition, as was, I think, Stalin!
Prigozhin’s 9 years of Soviet-era prison must have been far less easy. He’s a tough ex-con, among other things.
At any rate, it looks at present as if PMC Wagner is the Praetorian Guard of Russia now. Tomorrow? Maybe, maybe not— “tomorrow is another day“…

Sadly not as she has a Patreon and gigs about once a month and a tipjar still rattling and royalties truckling in. She relies on passive income. Time was when we had to work through the night battling FMs. Now crickets. She can't come on here even to talk about ice cream flavours
(the “FMs” refers to “flying monkeys“, the term used by “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe” for her fanatical supporters, many of which have mental problems).
Average £11pcm per rage nan so still £4,500pcm for lying in bed stoned.
https://t.co/1OlfSsQwzn She survived the siege in part cause her family were theater set designers and always had plenty of carpenter’s glue lying around. During the worst times they smeared it on bread and ate it like jelly. Someone tell #JackMonroe.
Ha. If “Jack Monroe” were to eat glue, at least she might be unable to utter more lies. Well, it’s a thought…
All & any of which would equally testify as to my legitimacy & my intentions in the ongoing quest to expose Jack Monroe for the thief, liar & fraud that she is. I am sure that i can count on @frugally_minded to confirm that she knows my real name 4/.
“Jack Monroe” is still, as of today, being sent between £3.50 and £44 a month by each of 414 utter mugs. Thousands of pounds being sent to her monthly, in cash, and for absolutely nothing.
I cannot see Reeves successfully running a bath or even a corner shop, given the depth of financial competence & judgment needed to plan, run & rescue the sliding post-Tory Bexshit UK capitalist economy so it works sustainably again for the many as well as the few. So. GIGO.🇵🇸🇺🇦
If the opinion polls are correct, Labour may form the next government, but when people vote “Labour”, they are actually getting pro-Israel careerists and money-grubbers such as Rachel Reeves, who is little different, though possibly better-educated, than the likes of Iain Duncan Dunce Smith.
Labour is now just a label; some of its own MPs have said as much.
Early this morning, #Trantifa clashed with protesters of a children’s drag event at the Honor Oak Pub in south London. One of the #Antifa hit a woman on the head with a stick. Antifa are furious police weren’t there to protect them at around 6 am. pic.twitter.com/3z5DfOV09d
Seldom have I seen anything this surreal. Tanks on streets, snipers kneeling waiting for the imminent arrival of the Chechen units in what may be one hell of a battle.
And the people of #Rostov seem to be blissfully unaware or determined not to move from their front row seats! pic.twitter.com/GQKJMx9EAi
Slightly reminiscent of the staged “popular uprising” against Ceausescu in 1989. Not that it was not popular in the sense of many, probably most, Romanians liking it, but it was not popular in the sense that the “plebs” took an active part. It was a stage-managed thing, and many of those on the streets were aware of that. They knew that they were just “spear-carriers” in a show put on for the overseas and domestic TV audience.

Don't think I've ever seen Jack as "positive". All I see from her are snark, bullying and threats.
Poor people know more about cooking on a budget than a scrounging middle class grifter such as Jack Monroe. Poor people don't need condescending advice, they need money. Jack is called out for missing charity money, unfulfilled patreon subscriptions, and missing legal funds
It really is incredible how many people (at least on Twitter) think that saying “effing Tories” and making the right noises about the cost of living under them (with the assumption that fake “Labour” would be much much better, of course) constitutes something massive. As for those “recipes”, have you seen them? I should prefer bread and cheese, or just bread…
“Jack Monroe” is not the only one making a fairly good living out of Twitter “activism” of that sort. There are a number of others, e.g. “@supertanskiii”. Completely useless pseudo-activists who are basically “grifters” (at best).
That useless NIgerian parasite, “@FemiSorry”, is another one.
Her recipes are frequently debunked as inedible, unworkable or nutritionally devoid.
Its all an act from Jack Monroe, her entire back story falls apart at the lightest scrutiny, and she's been caught lying and grifting too many times to be credible.https://t.co/zM5NRDPC8P
The lack of real ideology (going beyond vague nationalism and fawning over replicas of pre-1917 Russianism such as the Orthodox Church) in Putin’s Russia worked only so long as there was relative peace and prosperity. Now, the peace and much of the prosperity has gone or is going, and hope with it, and that leaves a vacuum. Russians need more than bread alone.
