Travel vlog— Birobidzhan

Interesting, as with their other travel vlog posts, though —as before— there is a degree of naivety (re. Stalin, Lenin, Third Reich, though in different ways).

In fact, the husband of the vlogging couple, “Matt”, describes the idea of Lenin being Jewish as something put out by “conspiracy theorists“. No, it is not a conspiracy theory but (partly-) true. Lenin was a part-Jew. His mother’s name was Blank, but she too was not full-Jew, just part (and possibly “crypto”).

Turns out that Birobidzhan, the Jewish “autonomous” area set up by Stalin in the Soviet Far East, now has relatively few Jews, the rest having decamped to Israel since the 1980s.

Birobidzhan is actually just the city, not the name of the oblast, but is the name customarily used for both.

The oblast is only small by comparison with the whole of Siberia, or the whole of Russia: 14,000 square miles, so nearly twice the size of Wales (8,000 sq. miles) or New Jersey (8,700 sq. miles).

According to Wikipedia, as of 2021 the oblast had about 150,000 inhabitants, of which half lived in the city, and only 837 of which were Jews.

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

Actually, Birobidzhan, the main town or city, though rather rundown, is not terrible, and resembles most other Soviet or ex-Soviet urban areas.

The UK is doing more than selling armaments to the Kiev regime. It is encouraging the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime to target, ever more deeply, Russian territory, attacking Russian cities, installations, and civilians.

Giving arms and money to the Zelensky regime is, in context, close to an act of war, as is giving that regime blueprints to make long-range ballistic missiles in the full knowledge (and actually expressed) that those missiles will be, and should be, used against Russia.

What the UK governments, since 2014, and especially 2022, have been doing in relation to the conflict (one-sided support for the Kiev regime) is mad, and counter to all British interests.

In fact, this is an international and multinational NWO/ZOG (New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government) operation, targeting Russia and its future.

What Burnham and virtually the whole political/msm class in Britain are doing is crazy from one point of view (the point of view of what is best for Britain and its people), but deliberate and co-ordinated from another.

“...and none dare call it treason“…

Craig Murray was once H.M. Ambassador to Uzbekistan [2002-2004], did 4 months (of an 8-month sentence) in prison in 2021 for contempt of court arising out of the Alex Salmond sex assault trial, and is now a particularly prolific and financially-successful blogger etc.

Old Laurens van der Post certainly seems to have been a bit naughty at times…

In big-picture terms, all correct.

One might quibble about bits of those tweets, but overall— correct.

Sikorski, a Pole, is married to the Jewish writer, Anne Applebaum.

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

The disconnect between the picture of Kiev-regime Ukraine painted by the UK’s lying mass media (a besieged and brave democracy with human rights, fighting an evil monster ruling an evil tyranny) and the reality (a corrupt, shambolic, brutal dictatorship where elections are never held, where men are kidnapped off the street and brutalized before being sent to die on the crumbling front-lines of an unwinnable war, and where opponents of the regime are locked-up or shot) is staggering.

I can see that the judges are now getting very restrictive about what defendants-in-person and even barristers are “allowed” (by the trial judge) to say in putting the defence case at such trials; “political trials” if you like, or semi-political. The recent Greenstein case, involving alleged vocal support for HAMAS, was one such: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwym4gg7vr1o.

The Greenstein case is interesting also because not only was the defendant, though anti-Israel, a Jew, but so was the presiding judge at trial (H.H.J. Sarah Plaschkes).

A Jewish judge presiding over a trial the subject matter of which was, or involved, Israel, Gaza, HAMAS etc. Was that “justice not only done but also seen to be done“? In the event, the question falls, Greenstein having been acquitted.

Interesting in view of the Jewish/Israeli connections around both Trump and the Argentine President, Milei.

It is suggested that Jewish interests are buying up vast tracts of land in Argentina, a country the 8th-largest in the world (12x the size of the UK), and much of which is given over to cattle ranching.

News which will probably not be reported in the UK msm.

Maybe he would like to follow the lead of his new “friend”, the Jew Zelensky, and simply ban elections. He certainly “does politics differently”…anyone seriously opposing him gets imprisoned or shot.

[“Middlesbrough is a small town

Many if us know our police officers

On Saturday morning almost everyone i have ever known was messaging about the crash on the A66

By midday most of us who live in the area knew who was involved

Many of us have had to put up with their crap everyday for years

Many of us have known about those 5 murderers for a while . . . Including me

So here is a list of their CONVICTIONS prior to Saturday morning

Cole Robert Worthy –

Threatening/abusive language

Failing to surrender

ASSAULT ON A POLICE OFFICER

Driving without a licence

No insurance

Driving without reasonable consideration(using a mobile phone while driving)

Makai Saddington –

Possession of a Class C drug

Possession of a KNIFE in public

Three counts of ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER in October 2025

ASSAULT ON A POLICE OFFICER in June 2026

Racially aggravated intentional harassment/alarm/distress)

Theo Rae –

12 shoplifting offences

3 thefts from motor vehicles

1 theft of a vehicle

Possession of cannabis

Two counts of aggravated vehicle taking

Conviction of an offence while a youth rehabilitation order was in force- ASSAULT ON A FEMALE POLICE OFFICER

Jacob Matusiak –

Using a vehicle without insurance

Driving without a licence

Some list isnt it?

You are probably wondering how they where still on the streets because you are a rational human being and not some feral mutant?

How where they free men?

How where they in a position to kill two police officers by driving down the wrong side of the motor way at speed?

I have asked myself these questions many times over the last few years

What the list doesnt show is how much they actually get away with. It is so much worse than this

Do you know how messed up you need to be to get 12 shoplifting convinctions?

People barely report this stuff anymore because we KNOW nothing will happen. Look at the convictions and tell me im wrong

So many of them should result in long prison sentences but our prisons are full. We cant put them away. The absolute worst in society are not being punished, they havent been for a long long time

The criminal “justice” system is a joke in this country. It has failed so many of us. Rpists amd murderers being released early. Pdophiles getting community service (yep)

Are we even a real country?

12 arrests were made today. A good start

The town of Middlesbrough needs this numbers to go up by the hundreds and it needs to happen FAST

You know who they are

You know where they live

You know what they have done

You know what they will continue to do

People are being terrorised by them RIGHT NOW as I type this message

Round them up and put them in a dark hole before many more innocent people get hurt

Then apply this to every area of the United Kingdom

Call it operation cockroach, I wont even trade mark the name. Its yours

The knock on effect of putting bad people in jail is monumental

It can change the country over night

Families can breathe
They can walk outside safely
Kids can play outside and make friends
Communities rebuild
Food prices go down
We can have nice things
You could even put a window in a bus stop again
I can take my dog for a walk without his feet BLEEDING from walking on broken glass

Most importantly people who devote their lives to helping others, like PC Tom Clough and PC Matthew Blades did, can come home to their familes

The criminal justice system has failed them miserably

It has failed their colleagues miserably

The criminal justice system continues to fail every single resident of Middlesbrough and the United Kingdom

It is a national disgrace. You have blood on your hands

It has to change.“]

It is true that there is a slide into lawlessness. I just had a look at the local newspaper here (coastal Hampshire/Dorset). A nursing employee who stole the bank card of a care home resident and used it— “avoided jail“; ex-“firefighter” who (online) intimidated a woman whom his son had raped, who also then assaulted paramedics etc and issued threats to kill the same woman, later excusing himself by reason of having been drunk— “suspended sentence“; etc etc.

Incidentally, it interests me that it (seems that it) was only after two policemen were killed that the local police got really active and started to arrest members of the local “chavscum” crime groups.

Yet absurd and pointless “cases”, especially at the behest of the Jewish/Israel lobby, are still going to court occasionally, as seen below:

[“The Jews are horrendous.”

A former @LibDems Councillor has been found to have “posted antisemitic tweets which were likely to stir up racial hatred.”

Pat Marsh, who was arrested in February 2024 after the posts were reported to police, served as a North Yorkshire Councillor and Mayor of Harrogate.

There were a number of antisemitic tweets, including: • “It is shameful the world is silent and the Jews are horrendous.” • “I hope the Jews feel proud of this!!!!! They are evil.” • “The Jews are vile showing they have no care other than for themselves.”

A prosecutor in the case said the posts were “greater than bigotry in the extreme”. Anti-Jewish hatred can have no place in British politics. When antisemitism presents itself, those responsible must be held accountable.”]

I wonder who reported those tweets to the police. Was it the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”? I expect so. They constantly “report” (often invented) matters to police, professional regulators etc.

What the liars and perjurers of the “CAA” do not say in their tweet is that the defendant there is a lady of 78, with no previous convictions; they also omit the facts that, since February 2024 when she was arrested, the defendant developed dementia, as a result of which she was found unfit to stand trial.

The prosecutor (I presume from the Clown Prosecution Service, though it may have been one of the CAA’s abusive private prosecutions), however continued with “a trial of the facts” (I presume in the absence of the defendant), and a jury (half-witted, it seems), brought in a meaningless verdict of Guilty, after which the judge handed down an equally meaningless sentence— an absolute discharge!

Worthy of Alice in Wonderland. A lady in her late seventies actually arrested for those rather mild tweets (probably about the sadistic slaughter being carried out by Israeli Jews in Gaza), but the trial only taking place 2.5 years later, a trial which was entirely meaningless, and served only to allow the “CAA” —proven liars whose sworn testimony has, on occasion, not been believed— to tweet as seen above.

A jury trial over that petty nonsense! Lewis Carroll or Franz Kafka?

See also: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c79g2l40gv3o

It occurs to me that, had the defendant been found fit to stand trial, and had done so, the jury might have acquitted her, but knowing that nothing would happen to her after the pointless “trial of the facts”, took the easy way out and convicted.

[“The donkey is the animal the language keeps for when it wants to call a person stupid.

In the spring of 1915, on the worst ground of the century, one of them walked into the guns for three and a half weeks and never once refused.

Gallipoli. Anzac Cove, a strip of stony beach under cliffs the Turks held. The wounded came down a gully so worked over by rifle and shell that the men named it Shrapnel Gully and meant it as a plain description.

Up at the head of the valley the fighting fed a constant traffic of broken men who had to be got down to the dressing station on the sand. There were never enough stretchers or bearers, and the track down lay open to the guns the whole length of it.

Onto that beach on the first morning came a stretcher-bearer, a lad from South Shields who had gone out to Australia and enlisted there under half his name, John Simpson.

On the second day, a wounded man on his back, he found one of the donkeys that had been landed to haul water and then left behind. From that morning until the morning he died, the two of them worked the gully.

Simpson is the half of the story that could weigh the odds and decide to go anyway.

The donkey could do no such thing. It could not read the ground or count the guns. It could only be led to the foot of a track every soldier on the peninsula knew was a killing floor, have a man who could not walk loaded onto its back, and be asked to climb.

And it climbed. In daylight, which no sane man did. At night.

Through fire so heavy that John Monash, commanding at the head of the valley, singled the pair out in writing: Simpson and his little beast, he said, had earned the admiration of everyone up there.

Simpson went in front, singing and whistling as though the bullets were weather. The donkey plodded. At the bottom it was unloaded onto the sand, and then it turned itself round and went back up into the fire for the next one.

It made that climb over and over, day after day, up into the guns and down again with a man on its back, on a track where grown soldiers moved bent double and prayed.

The names change in the telling, Duffy and Abdul and Murphy, and the men at the top knew the little procession on sight. How many wounded came down on that back nobody can honestly say, and the round numbers fixed to the story later, three hundred and the rest, are mostly legend.

What is not legend is that it went on, without a day off, under fire, until the nineteenth of May, when Simpson was shot carrying two wounded men and was buried that evening in the sand at a place called Hell Spit. He was twenty-two.

The donkey lived.

Another bearer took it on, and the work carried on without the man who started it.

When the whole ruined campaign was finally given up and the survivors were taken off that beach, they did not leave it behind for the enemy. They got it onto a boat and away to safety.

Somewhere in the moving of it a soldier buckled a collar round its neck. The collar read: Murphy VC. Please look after him.

That is men who had seen everything a war can do to a body, stopping to ask a stranger to be kind to a donkey.

Eighty-two years later, to the very day, on the nineteenth of May 1997, the RSPCA awarded its Purple Cross, the highest honour there is for an animal, to Murphy, and, as the certificate reads, to all the donkeys used by John Simpson Kirkpatrick.

When the country went looking for one image to carry the memory of that whole catastrophe, out of a campaign full of generals it chose a stretcher-bearer and a donkey. It cast the pair in bronze outside the national memorial, and stood them again in his home town on the Tyne.

We keep the beast as our word for stubborn and stupid.

It was handed the dying on the worst ground of the century, and it carried them down out of the fire, and it turned round, and it went back up for more.”]

Our animal friends.

After cats, donkeys are my favourite animal.

Incidentally, I myself was on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 2001, en route from the UK to southern Turkey by car. It is a completely peaceful peninsula now. My wife and I stayed for a few days at Canakkale, on the other side of the Dardanelles Strait. You had to cross by a small ferry in those days; there is a large bridge now, a few miles away, and the empty dusty roads on the European side, with vast sunflower fields all around, once you leave the peninsula and are in Thrace proper, have been partly supplanted by a motorway or major highway.

Another Israeli war crime.

May be something that could be tried in the UK, but limited to real English/Welsh/Scottish parents.

I hate having Zelensky’s ugly mug on the blog, but there it is.

A horrible tribe, intent on genocide or as near genocide as makes little difference.

If you support the Jewish state, you support that kind of backwardness.

Interesting. While Restore Britain is more to my taste, ideologically, than Reform UK, it is still not social-national and, at present, not able to smash the old LibLabCon scam, Reform is the only party with sufficient public profile.

All part of the gradual slide to dystopia in this country

Interesting hand gesture…

As blogged yesterday, the latest opinion polling puts Reform, Labour, and the Greens within about one percentage point of each other in the Gorton and Denton by-election contest. It’s wide open, with less than 24 hours before the real polls open.

[“After much work on the part of several committed individuals, we were able to find a VERY hard-to-find manuscript of Entdecktes Judenthum, or Judaism Unmasked by Johann Andreas Eisenmenger (1711). It wasn’t easy. Entdecktes Judenthum has been called arguably the most censored book in the Western World (it probably is). Written after Eisenmenger spent approximately nineteen years in the research and composition, beginning around 1680. He studied Hebrew and Aramaic to scholarly proficiency. He worked through the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud, the Midrash (including Midrash Rabbah and related collections), the Zohar and kabbalistic literature, Maimonides, and a wide range of medieval rabbinical commentaries and responsa literature. He pretended to be a Jewish convert to learn directly from the Rabbis themselves, the only way, considering the Talmud forbids teaching it to the goyim. Before it could be disseminated, the Jewish banking community in Frankfurt bribed the magistrate to confiscate it and destroy the manuscripts, and it’s been censored ever since. Broken links. Scrubbed archives. Digital libraries that had quietly made it disappear. AI assistants that refused to search archives or refused to help find it. Decoys that gave us wild goose chases that led to pro-Talmud books after translating. Dirty tricks! But they found it, printed in archaic typeface angular blackletter script, used modern OCR software for optical character recognition, and normalized the orthography into contemporary German so that it could be processed accurately by translation tools. Basically, it was archeology converted to English. We hope no one ever has to do it again. But that’s the point. ENTDECKTES JUDENTHUM will be available in English for the first time in a widely accessible edition. FOR FREE. Unrestricted and reproducible without permission. We ask nothing. We claim no copyright. We want this to spread. It will be available via PDF for FREE this weekend to everyone and available in ebook formats with additional tools and resources for I2I premium subscribers this weekend also. It will be made available in hardback paper as soon as the printers are done with it AT COST. We are publishing this because the Church of Jesus Christ is entitled to read what has been hidden from us, and because we believe light is the only appropriate response to darkness. God will do with it what He will. Find it at Insight to Incite. Share around. No copyright. Get it out. Link in bio. HT @DEI4WhiteGuys and @UpdatedWorks and I2I subscribers.”]

I do not agree with that conclusion. I still think that Reform (Matt Goodwin) could do this. All three main contenders (the others are jokes and wasted votes) are within one point of each other, around 28% (so not far off the 30% each I predicted weeks ago on the blog).

What surprises me, even in a constituency full of uncultured, uneducated Pakistani Muslims and former tribal-Labour English, is that over a quarter of voters are, even now, going to vote Labour! What do they have between their ears? Not brains, I think.

That has occurred to me, as have several other theories. One of those would be that Farage wants Reform to be a kind of populist “Conservative” party with a few add-ons, whereas Matt Goodwin is halfway to social-nationalism (having started his ideological journey, years ago, as a kind of “anti-fascist” academic stooge-type. I think he even tweeted against me once or twice). Certainly Farage has not been very supportive of Goodwin during the by-election campaign.

It occurred to me that Mandelson might (but probably would not) flee to Israel, as a Jew with “right of return”, and I put that on the blog about a week ago, but the BVI (British Virgin Islands)?! Absurd. The BVI is a British Overseas Territory, so not a safe place of sanctuary.

Late tweets

[“Israel is increasingly concerned with the emigration problem. 230,800 Israelis left from 2023-25 and the number of Israelis canceling their residency quadrupled. What makes the problem more severe for Israel is the profile of those leaving:

1) Nearly 48% of those leaving are aged 20 to 45, and 27% are children or teenagers, indicating that entire families are relocating.
2) Over 8,000 high-tech workers left between October 2023 and mid-2024 alone. High-wage earners now make up one-third of all emigrants, up from a quarter in previous years.
3) There has been a “concerning increase” in the departure of doctors (over 400 in 2023 alone) and specialists in STEM fields. In a 20-month period, over 600 PhD holders and 3,000 engineers moved abroad.
4) 75% of those leaving are under 40, representing the core of Israel’s future workforce and tax base.

The ramifications are significant:

1) Emigrants in 2023–2024 had paid over 1.5 billion shekels (~$490 million) in income tax the year prior to leaving. Since the tech sector provides roughly one-third of all state income tax, its contraction threatens the funding of public services.
2) High-tech contributes 17% of Israel’s GDP and 57% of its exports. The The Israel Innovation Authority warns that a sustained loss of these “innovation drivers” could lead to a permanent slowdown in growth and investment.
3) The exit of doctors exacerbates an already critical shortage of medical personnel, potentially leading to longer wait times and reduced quality of care.
4) As secular, liberal-leaning Israelis leave, the remaining population tilts more toward religious and nationalist sectors. This shift could further deepen internal polarization and fundamentally alter the “social contract” that binds Israeli society.
5) For the first time in 15 years, Israel has seen a negative migration balance, challenging the Zionist vision of the country as a primary safe haven for Jews worldwide.

Israel continues to move towards a future as a theocratic, authoritarian state. It will also be a poorer one with less innovation.“]

Israel is doomed.

Ah, so Farage did visit the Gorton and Denton constituency, maybe more than once. Other tweets show that he is there right now.

The polls open at 0700 hrs tomorrow morning. A few votes may decide the issue.

Whether Matt Goodwin wins it for Reform, or the Greens win it, or even if Labour retains the seat by a whisker, any of those outcomes will show that Labour is on the way out. Labour scored 50.8% there in 2024, so any result less than 1. a Labour win but also 2. with at least 40% of the votes cast, is bad for Labour and for Starmer. Gorton and Denton has always been a “tribal” Labour area.

Thus speaks the typical “Westminster Bubbler”, or political gossip insider. Politics as a matter of organization, “comms”, a get-the-vote-out local machine etc.

Dan Hodges may be right, and all of the above matter.

For me, the actual result is not the main thing. For one thing, a third of the voters are Muslims, mostly Pakistanis. As far as I am concerned, their participation renders the vote non-legitimate anyway, if it results in a win for Labour or the Greens.

Secondly, what matters is that, even were Labour to win with, say, 35% of the vote, that means that in most of the country, in places where Labour is not part of a secular trinity (Labour-NHS-football), Labour is toast.

The Strange Case of Andrew Windsor

I see on TV news that Andrew Windsor has now been arrested and will be facing police questioning.

I also doubt that anything much, in terms of criminal sanction, will happen to Andrew Windsor. He will probably weasel out of it in the end, though it is pretty obvious that the Jew Epstein may have and, realistically, almost must have acquired some interesting and lucrative commercial intelligence from him; possibly military, naval, and political intelligence as well. The Israelis had a good source or secondary source there.

As a “disgraced and disbarred” former barrister (as the Jews call me), I am interested in the “sovereign immunity” aspect. Normally, “sovereign immunity” applies to heads of state when visiting the UK, akin to diplomatic immunity, and it was international customary law, as adopted and/or altered by the Vienna Convention, but has been partly put on a statutory basis in the UK since 1978:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Immunity_Act_1978

Sovereign immunity also applies to the Sovereign himself or herself; the King cannot be prosecuted. That applies, in principle, to members of the “Royal Family” too.

It will be recalled that Princess Anne (aka “the Princess Royal” and/or “Mrs. Levy”) was prosecuted several times, in the 1970s and 1980s, for speeding at a speed which would normally have resulted in disqualification and even (in view of her plainly recidivistic offences) imprisonment. In the event (several events) she was fined but not disqualified. Wikipedia, while noting her speeding convictions, implies (wrongly) that her only criminal conviction was in relation to a dog out of control:

Anne is the first member of the royal family to have been convicted of a criminal offence.[151] In November 2002, she pleaded guilty to one charge of having a dog dangerously out of control, an offence under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, and was fined £500.”

[Wikipedia]

I do not know whether she herself, on all those occasions, waived sovereign immunity; presumably so; or, more likely, the question was not raised formally at all. I know she pleaded guilty on all occasions.

The Guardian has this about it: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/mar/13/2

A spokeswoman for Buckingham Palace said the princess accepted that she was subject to the normal rule of law. She will be paying her fine accordingly.

The princess has been in trouble with the law several times before for breaking the speed limit.

[Guardian]

Princess Anne was disqualified from driving for a month on another occasion.

Under international customary and convention law, family members of a head of state also have immunity, though the ambit of that has been questioned over the years: eg, in the UK, in respect of a few “princes” and “princesses” from Saudi Arabia (there are, I believe, hundreds, altogether) who abused their status in this country, e.g. by ordering luxury items never paid for.

Andrew Windsor is not a head of state, but is a “close relative” of the Head of State, being his brother.

Seems that, in the UK as in USA etc, a relative has to be very close, really part of the household and/or a dependant, to have immunity.

Andrew’s case may be a grey area. After all, he is the King’s brother, and moreover is, at least arguably, dependent— the King is even giving him his new house.

A general overview of sovereign immunity from a leading City of London law firm, with focus on a recent Court of Appeal judgment [ HRH Prince Abdulaziz Bin Mishal Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and (2) HRH Prince Mishal Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud v. Apex Global Management Limited [2013] EWCA Civ 642 c]:

“It should be noted that this case deals with personal immunity (ratione personae), rather than functional immunity (ratione materiae), which operates when an individual acts in his official capacity on behalf of his state.

https://www.hsfkramer.com/notes/arbitration/2013-07/uk-court-of-appeal-considers-the-immunity-from-suit-of-the-family-of-a-head-of-state

It seems that Andrew Windsor is being investigated partly as to potential liability when he was acting in his official capacity, so he may yet be able to claim immunity, if anything ever comes to court.

Were Andrew Windsor to be prosecuted for a serious criminal matter, that would be unique in British history, as far as I know. Even Charles I was prosecuted for “State crimes”, i.e. political matters, basically.

In any case, it is arguable that the King could withdraw sovereign protection from Andrew, just as the sending state can, under the Vienna Convention, withdraw diplomatic immunity from an errant diplomat or other embassy employee.

A storm in a teacup, of course. “Neo-Nazi” is just a meaningless insult, based anyway on a false perception of National Socialism, a perception mainly crafted by Jews and other pro-Zionist, pro-Israel elements since the 1920s, i.e. for the past century, and particularly over the past 30 years or so.

Honour thy father and thy mother“…[Exodus 20:12]

Both Reform and “Restore Britain” are to some extent contaminated by the Jew-Zionist-Israel influence. While I prefer Lowe to Farage, the fact is that only Reform UK can destroy the longstanding LibLabCon political scam in the short term (up to 2029). It has the public profile to do that. There is the danger that two similar parties, Reform and Restore, both standing in any given seat, will result in far more Lab and Con enemies surviving.

Pippa Crerar:

NEW: Keir Starmer confirms that Antonia Romeo has been appointed new UK cabinet secretary – the first woman to hold the role in its 100 years plus history.

Alternatively, “Antonia Romeo has been appointed new UK Cabinet Secretary, the first hard-faced, bullying, moneygrubbing careerist bitch to hold the role...”

For God’s sake! Can “the Andrew Formerly Known As Prince” not display at least a little dignity and staunchness? Just a little? What a disgrace the bastard is, skulking like that. He looks like a pensioner or schoolmaster caught with naughty pictures of little girls! Oh, no, wait…

He should have at least exited the place of his interrogation (Aylsham Police Station, near Norwich, according to the BBC) sitting upright, and ostensibly unconcerned. That’s what I would have done, and I have not had a thousandth of the privileges to which that bastard has been heir.

Look at grinning little monkey Owen Jones. He understands nothing, nothing at all.

In the Australian argot, “good on” that lady. I like her parting shot, as well.

For once, I agree with Simon Danczuk on something.

Even that is not the whole story.

Would translate to a Commons with about 380 Reform UK MPs (strong overall majority), 76 Greens (official, though very weak, Opposition), 58 LibDems, 46 SNP, 40 Cons, and 26 Lab.

On those figures, near-existential for both Lab and Con.

Starmer-stein would lose his seat on those figures.

We presently live, not under a Labour government, but under a Labour Friends of Israel government (better put, a not really or legitimately-elected regime).

What a surprise…

Were I the Iranian leader, I should immediately launch every last one of my missiles and drones against Israel, if not completely simultaneously then as close together as possible, focussing on a trident of targets, those being the Dimona nuclear area, the Ben-Gurion Airport, and Tel Aviv generally, particularly the central area but including the more wealthy areas nearby, such as Ra’anana and Herzliya. Concentration of forces. Schwerpunkt.

That is certainly my view.

What a pity— I missed that.

Contemporary Britain— a country where the least able have been put into positions of high responsibility which they are totally unable to properly fulfil.

I can’t get my head around this… Labour promised to clean up politics—then took loads of dodgy freebies, handed jobs to their mates, and approved contracts for major donors. They said their top priority was growth—now they’re tanking the economy. They vowed not to raise taxes—then hit us with £40bn in tax hikes, and there’s more to come. They said they would freeze energy bills—now energy bills are rising. They said they’d stop the boats—then scrapped our only deterrent and introduced more pull factors. They said they’d look after farmers—then tax them out of existence. They claimed they’d keep us safe and be tough on crime—then released dangerous criminals from our prisons instead of deporting foreign offenders. They claimed there was a £22bn black hole and ‘difficult decisions’ were needed—then increased spending by £70bn, spent billions on foreign aid, and billions more on illegal immigrants. They said they would respect Brexit—now they want to align us closer to the EU. They said, ‘honesty is the cornerstone of the Labour Party’—then lied about Southport and everything else on this list… and more. I could go on… This Labour gov’t is the most incompetent, heartless, anti-British, hypocritical, and dishonest in history. We need a general election. NOW!

The reason I disagree with that (leaving aside the extra point that I never use the old and outdated “right/left” stuff) is because the original tweet fixates on the fact that FPTP voting “punishes division“. What is important is what is happening beyond the crumbling walls of the Westminster monkeyhouse.

At the 2024 General Election, over 40% of the eligible voters did not vote, many no doubt out of disgust with the whole system and the System parties.

Out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote. Only 4 out of every 20 voted for fake Labour, and probably half of those did so because a “Conservative” candidate was the only apparent alternative.

Labour’s incompetent and freeloading ministers, and its Labour Friends of Israel leading cabal, may think they are sitting pretty on their very large Commons majority but, outside the walls of Parliament itself today, 100,000 protesters were demanding the release of “Tommy Robinson”.

Robinson is “controlled opposition”, of course. So be it.

The rise of Reform UK (despite Farage’s unreliable history etc) shows anger at the way Britain is going. For Labour, and Westminster Bubble drones, to look only at numbers of seats and at the way FPTP voting distorts public opinion, is very short-sighted.

At present, it seems that, yes, Labour may be the largest party in the Commons after the next general election, but even if Reform UK fails to dislodge Labour from that position, it may well come second and thus become the Opposition. That would in itself destroy the basic structure that has been in place for over a century.

The likelihood at present (with the Con Party still embedded in some parts of the country, as are the LibDems, and both likely to get 50-100 seats next time) is a hung Parliament and thus a weak Labour minority government, though if Reform does really well, the outcome could be a fairly weak Reform government, backed up by the surviving Con MPs.

Outside the supposedly-hallowed walls of the Palace of Westminster, though, the English/British people are murmuring. The Tommy Robinson protest, the summer 2024 protests, the now-constant stream of trials of social-national people who have said or done the (politically) “wrong” things (and then been entrapped by System police, MI5, the “Clown” Prosecution Service, and the System judges) speak to underlying discontent.

Reform UK, Tommy Robinson etc, are merely part of the journey, not the destination.

There may come a time, not so far down the line, when what happens in and around Parliament becomes only the outcome of what happens outside Parliament.

As to Goodwin’s comment above, I agree, but I also tend to agree (sort-of) with Lenin: “A revolution without firing squads is not worth much.”

The Queen would never have allowed this to happen“…What universe does that tweeter, “@Lotus 17”, live in? The late Queen died only 3 years ago…Does that tweeter really think that the decline of the UK has only happened since 2022? Try (at least) 1989.

Woodrow Wyatt, in his diaries [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wyatt#The_Journals], expressed the view that, inter alia, the Royal Family did not care whether Britain descended into poverty and general decline, because they, the “royals” would still be sitting pretty atop of it all, and insulated from the badness with which almost everyone else would be contending.

When I read Wyatt’s diaries, 25+ years ago, I thought that his point about the “royals” was arguable but maybe too harsh. Now I agree completely. Look at Charles, desperately trying —and failing— to fill his late mother’s boots. Look at tame thick princeling William, no doubt at least, or somewhat, well-meaning, so be it. Look at even thicker princeling, Harry, “the Harry formerly known as Prince”, not forgetting Meghan Mulatta. All of them signed up to the crazed “multikulti society”, all willing to pay lip-service to “holocaust” propaganda etc.

If the already-rigged “democratic” process becomes even less honest, even less responsive to the needs of the British people, then the whole Parliamentary system will have to be bypassed. Action directe

It may be, though, that the Reform UK upsurge will lead, before too long, maybe by 2030, and against the will of Reform’s leaders, to a further movement of the “Overton Window”…to a huge revolution of social nationalism.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week 6/10, as against political journalist John Rentoul’s 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 7, 8, and 9.

Conservative Party Leadership contest

Ha. I once knew a (real) Nigerian princess, 35-40 years ago. She was a nice woman; unfortunately, she was shot (in Lagos).

Vote for Nigeria, get Nigeria…

So there it is. The “party formerly known as Conservative” now has a Nigerian woman, married to a banker, as its anointed leader. What a farce.

That contest was between a black (Nigerian) woman, a woman who is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, on the one side, and a rather unpleasant and corrupt person, member of Conservative Friends of Israel, and married to an American Jewish woman, on the other.

Who really won that contest? Think about it.

Kemi Badenoch is even less (even notionally) “British” than is the egregious “Boris”-idiot. She was born in London, taken within days back to Nigeria, then brought up there and in the USA before returning to the UK at the age of 16.

Has Britain finally gone mad? The Con Party certainly has. “Goodnight Vienna” to it.

Rachel Reeves

Revealed: Rachel Reeves’s £74k rental income.

Rachel Reeves and her husband are making £74,000 a year in rental income alone, The Telegraph understands.

The Chancellor, who this week hit second home buyers and landlords with a surge in stamp duty costs, is thought to be receiving rent from two properties that adds up to more than £6,000 a month.

It comes after Ms Reeves delivered her first Budget on Wednesday, in which she condemned millions of workers to be poorer by raising National Insurance for their employers.

Landlords and second home owners reacted angrily to Ms Reeves’s maiden Budget, claiming she had put the “final nail in the coffin” for the struggling buy-to-let sector.

Property investors also said she would drive out decent landlords and leave tenants facing higher rents as a result.

The Chancellor, who now lives in Downing Street with her family, lets her former family home – a four-bedroom property in south London – for around £3,200 a month.

While her husband Nicholas Joicey, a senior civil servant, is believed to have let his central London two-bed flat since 2011. It now has a market rental value of nearly £3,000 a month, according to property website Bricks&Logic.

It means the pair, who both have six-figure salaries, make more than four times the average landlord income of £16,500. Their rental income is also twice the average salary of nearly £37,000.

Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty said: “Having just announced a deeply unpopular Budget that has caused mortgages to rise, how does the Chancellor justify the £74,000 rental income of her and her husband’s London properties whilst living rent-free in Downing Street as their mortgages are paid for? It’s no wonder she abstained from the most recent vote on the Renters’ Rights Bill.

Ms Reeves earns around £160,000 for her roles as Chancellor and an MP. It means her household income, combined with her husband’s salary of up to £174,999, is more than £400,000.

Earlier this year, as shadow chancellor, Ms Reeves told GB News that checking her bank statement made her “wince” after she found “the money coming in” was “increasingly short of the money going out”.

The Chancellor bought her family home in 2012 with her husband for £599,950. The two co-own the property, according to the Land Registry. The couple’s detached property – which was bought with a mortgage – consists of four bedrooms and two bathrooms, according to Rightmove.

Since Ms Reeves bought it, property listing websites estimate it has gained around £349,000 in value – putting its value today at nearly £950,000.

Nine years ago, Ms Reeves had her parliamentary credit card suspended because she owed more than £4,000 in unauthorised payments. The bill was eventually recouped by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.

Between 2014 and 2022, she also claimed £1,225 on the taxpayer to pay someone else to help file her tax return.

[Daily Telegraph]

Rachel Reeves also has other investments. She is a Grade A moneygrasper; also a member of Labour Friends of Israel and a trustee of the Jew-Zionist Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.

Rachel Reeves and her husband have a joint salary/investment income (including capital growth) of well over a half-million pounds a year, possibly even a million.

Exactly. The same underlying agenda.

Yes, but that is still only 2%-5% of all immigration into the UK in that period; then there are births to non-European mothers within the UK.

Millions; indeed, tens of millions. About 15-20 million in all, so far, since the 1950s.

So it begins…

Who needs them? They have less and less credibility, either as a “royal” family or as individuals.

Inefficient commanders and former ministers must be sent to the front line, and women must be mobilized into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army , said the head of the Air Reconnaissance Support Center of the Ukrainian Army Maria Berlinskaya. The mobilization of women is an unpopular but necessary decision, she pointed out and stressed that Ukraine “will have to give up” if the mobilization of women does not take place.”

The Kiev regime will have been toppled, or driven over, by this time next year.

FORMER British MI6 agent Alastair Crook has said that Ukrainian soldiers will start refusing to carry out an order to launch a new offensive if President Volodymyr Zelensky issues it on his return from the United States.

Kruk put forward the assumption that it will look like this: Zelensky addresses his generals with the words: “We must continue […] and break through the Russian defenses.” So he turns to his generals and realizes that none of them will follow him in this. Kruk estimates that the Ukrainian army is exhausted and that there is no продавница where Zelensky can buy new troops…

MI6 agent A. Crook“? Buyer beware, I suppose…

Thousands of Ukrainian men who are recognized as partially fit for military service will be drafted into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The so-called “reserve” battalions will be formed from them. It was announced that there will be no combat training with them, nor will they be involved in combat tasks.”

Take away Zelensky’s ricebowl.

Russia cannot “lose” this war, whatever happens (unless there is a palace revolution in the Kremlin).

The best solution is for Russia to retain Crimea, take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and also retain or take all of the coastal regions of the Black Sea and Sea of Azov to a depth of (arguende) 50 miles, including the city of Odessa. Kiev can either be taken by Russia or operated as a condominium, or maybe as a “free city” not fully controlled either by Russia or by a rump Ukrainian regime based (probably) in Lvov.

One in 12 people in Germany shares a right-wing extremist worldview, according to a new study published on Thursday.

The research by Friedrich Ebert Foundation has found that the number of people with far-right views has significantly increased in the past two years, and has exceeded 8%.

In the foundation’s 2020/2021 survey, less than 2% of the respondents had clearly expressed support for right-wing extremist views.

Researchers said the consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war, skyrocketing energy prices, and high inflation are creating challenges for the democratic parties in the center, and strengthening the far-right.

Insecurities and conflicts over who gets what and how much, are providing a gateway for right-wing extremist ideologies and anti-democratic attitudes,” the researchers said in a summary of their report.

According to the survey, trust in the institutions and in the functioning of democracy in Germany has fallen to below 60%.

The number of those who see themselves more to the right of the democratic center has significantly increased, from 9% to 15.5%.

More than 16% of those surveyed approved xenophobic statements, while 5.7% expressed antisemitic views. Some 4% played down crimes committed by Hitler and praised Nazi ideology or policies.”

In 1928, the NSDAP was voted for by only 2.6% of German voters nationally. By 1932, that had grown to over 33%, and by 1933 to nearly 44%. With God, all things are possible.

Incredible how “entitled” the British “royals” are, bearing in mind their low intellectual and cultural level. Princess Anne has all the charm of her late father. Never met her, but I saw her a few times, one time being at a gala dinner at Lincoln’s Inn (to which I belonged for 30 years, until a pack of Jews procured my disbarment in 2016: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/). On the occasion of that dinner, in the 1990s, she seemed to be scowling constantly.

AI is inherently disruptive of authoritarian rule.” Really? Human authoritarian rule, maybe. AI may eventually dispense with human rule altogether. Be warned.

Britain has slowly become, over 2-3 decades (and is still becoming), a police state, though still rather a “toytown” one. Straws in that wind include, in recent years, people such as Alison Chabloz, prosecuted and eventually imprisoned for satirical cartoons and songs about Jews, and the recent seizure of golliwogs from an Essex pub.

The Jew-Zionist element is behind most of the gathering repression. Abuse of the law (eg Communications Act 2003, s.127), corruption and suborning of police, police commissioners, CPS staff etc.

American commentator not wrong about Liz Truss, but very wrong if he thinks that Winston Churchill was the first Prime Minister of the UK! There were in fact no less than 41 Prime Ministers before Churchill’s first term in office.

Talking of Liz Truss, saw this:

Look at her “I’ve won the Lottery” stupidly happy face. She has no self-awareness, and no real awareness of how much deeper into the mire she has pushed this poor country. She is just happy that, through (for her, happy, but for the people unhappy) circumstance, she became Prime Minister (for 6 weeks), and is invited to events as a pseudo-VIP, and also that she is going to be getting hundreds of thousands of pounds per year, indefinitely, having clambered onto the cart of a completely rotten system that rewards total incompetence.

All the same, it is desperately sad that, by reason of the incompetence of the Russian Army and intelligence services last year, there was no Afghanistan-1979 swift coup de main, seizing Kiev in the first week. Had there been an all-out Blitzkrieg for the sake of mercy, most of the harm, bloodshed, death and damage could have been avoided.

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.

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.

…the key words being “in a supposed liberal democracy“…

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.

Historical views on history and monarchy

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-10404373/The-Queen-RIGHT-axe-Prince-Andrew-sake-monarchy-says-WILSON.html

Was reading the above article on the Royal Family and UK monarchy by scribbler A.N. Wilson.

Long ago now, I reviewed a book by A.N. Wilson on Amazon UK, where I was about 40th most popular reviewer (out of millions). Later, around 2012, the Jew-Zionist lobby had me barred from reviewing on Amazon UK (and on the separate American site…so much for “free speech” in the occupied USA…). All my reviews were then hidden from the public, and remain so.

One of the reviews effectively lost was the one about a book on British history in the 20th century, by A.N. Wilson. My view had been that his book was a really good read, but at the same time riddled with historical inaccuracies, absurd conclusions, and simple spelling mistakes. This article is similar in some respects.

Look at this:

“…we should not take the durability of the institution for granted. 

At the end of World War I, when Russia, Germany, Austria and many other European nations were replacing their monarchs with forms of government in every way more tyrannical and bloody, George V, our king, once quietly remarked: ‘I’m going to have to work hard to keep my job.’

He and his wife, Queen Mary, did indeed work to develop the concept of constitutional monarchy.

Far from endangering parliamentary democracy, it strengthened it. With a monarch as head of state, there is continuity and stability — it is no accident we remained a democracy when countries without kings or emperors ended up with leaders such as Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and Franco.”

Well, let’s see. “At the end of WW1...” etc: In 1917, the rule of Nikolai II in Russia was replaced by that of the Provisional Government under Prince Lvov and Alexander Kerensky. It was not “tyrannical” or “bloody“, but was chaotic and unable to rule. Indeed, one could argue that the previous years of Nikolai’s rule, at least since the 1905 uprising, had been at times both tyrannical and bloody, especially if the Russian participation in WW1 is placed on the scales.

True, the Bolshevik government, which replaced the Provisional government later in 1917, was certainly bloody and, in the lay sense, tyrannical, and that was so even under Lenin, certainly later yet under Stalin.

Germany after WW1 was not a tyranny. The Weimar Republic was decadent, badly-run, verged on disorder at times, and was quite illiberal towards those who, like Hitler, were German nationalists, but it cannot really be called either tyrannical or bloody. Neither was the government of Hitler, in its 6 years of relative peace (1933-1939). It was dictatorial; it was not tyrannical. There is a difference. As for “bloody”, not so, overall.

Austria did become a kind of dictatorship, but only after 1933, under Dollfuss and, subsequently, Schuschnigg, but for the preceding 14 years had been a constitutional democracy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Austrian_Republic.

What about Wilson’s contention that ” He [George V of England] and his wife, Queen Mary, did indeed work to develop the concept of constitutional monarchy.” True up to a point. Wilson’s phrasing is awkward. The “concept of constitutional monarchy” had been developing in England and the UK for centuries, certainly since the English Civil War and the century following (17th/18th centuries).

Moreover, the same process was happening across Europe; certainly that was so in the 19th Century. It was not confined to the UK by any means.

As for Italy, Mussolini was dictatorial, though not officially a dictator (though he presented himself as such). Some who were (thankfully) repressed under his rule (notably the Mafia and other criminals, and Stalinist Communists) would say (wrongly) that he was a tyrant, but Italy remained a constitutional monarchy right the way through Mussolini’s rule, a fact that Wilson either does not know or fails to mention.

An Allied invasion of Sicily began in July 1943, leading to the collapse of the Fascist regime and the fall of Mussolini on 25 July. Mussolini was deposed and arrested by order of King Victor Emmanuel III in co-operation with the majority of the members of the Grand Council of Fascism, which passed a motion of no confidence. On 8 September, Italy signed the Armistice of Cassibile, ending its war with the Allies.” [Wikipedia].

In fact, Italy only ceased to be a monarchy in 1946, following a mass referendum.

So Wilson seems once again to need either a history lesson or a lesson in how to express himself. Having said that, I certainly agree with most of his criticism, in the article, of Harry (“the Royal Cuck”), Meghan Markle (“the Royal Mulatta”), Andrew Windsor, and others, such as the horrible and entitled (mostly in both senses) moneygrubbing “younger members of the Royal Family”.

I believe that A.N. Wilson was once a regular guest of the Queen at table, at Windsor Castle, but was (sometime in the 1980s, or maybe a little later) cold-shouldered after he wrote a piece in the Evening Standard about what he had heard at dinner.

I see that I am not the only one to have noticed Wilson’s factual inaccuracies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._N._Wilson#Critiques_of_Wilson’s_work.

I stick with my view, held for nearly two years now, that much of the Covid madness has been a very-large-scale psychological experiment in mass conditioning, designed to result, down the line, in an almost robotic and very Pavlovian response to the orders of the System.

Remember the early/mid 2020 “social distancing”, with lines of shoppers obediently x-metres or feet away from each other, only moving forward on the orders of deadhead supermarket “marshals”? Then there has been the facemask nonsense, as noted in the tweet. Also, the almost-useless and often dangerous “vaccines” and “boosters”, and the equally-useless mass “testing” for “the virus”.

Somewhere not far down the line, there will be the microchipping of the population . Those refusing to be microchipped will be, pretty much, social outcasts, unable to travel internationally or even within the UK (or wherever), all but unable to access services, all but unable to buy food or car fuel (as cash is phased out). Already, I read, many under-24 people are accustomed to using cards for almost all purchases, and use cash as little as once or twice per month. They will be easily persuaded to be microchipped. The microchipping will come in “not with a bang but a whimper”, and few will see the dangers and implications; even fewer will resist.

We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”— 14 words…

It may be, that not very far in the future, the societies of Western and Central Europe will fall into complete decadence, their economies ruined, their legal and political systems ineffective and scarcely operational. A kind of Dark Age may be coming. If so, what really matters is to be prepared to seed a new pan-European civilization and culture, which can eliminate evil and disorder, so that a better future, and far future, will be able to exist.

I posted the above film clip out of amusement, really. I (quite genuinely) wonder why idiots like that speaker, and her tiny and lumpenproletarian audience, waste time on demonstrations like that. Still, there it is.

A long time ago, in the 1980s, I was —very unusually— coming out of the Circle Line station at King’s Cross. It was a a summer afternoon. There was, just before the stairs leading to the street, a bank of public telephones. I happened to notice that there was a small black diary or notebook on the floor. I picked it up and looked at it, thinking that I might post it back to the owner, or hand it in to the police.

Said diary turned out to belong to someone at an address nearby, so I walked there. Why not? I was in no hurry, and I like to help people if I can.

I noticed that the appointments for the coming weeks were all this march, that demo, and feminist workshops etc. It was a slice of life straight out of a Private Eye parody, or the then “AgitProp” sections of magazines such as Time Out, or City Limits [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Out_(magazine); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Limits_(magazine)].

I soon arrived at the flat where the diary’s owner lived, 1930s social housing. I (dressed in a pinstripe suit, and sporting a silk tie) knocked at the door. A strange, rather red-faced and intense young woman opened the door, but only about 6 inches. I explained that I had found the diary and where. She looked very suspicious; taking the diary, she shut the door without a word of thanks! I suppose that when the (1980s version) of the “woke” revolution (was going to come), courtesy, or indeed simple politeness, and gratitude, would be unnecessary…

Perhaps the odd young woman thought that I was a member of MI5 or Special Branch who had stolen her diary to get intelligence, and/or was wanting to get to know her or even recruit her. Or did she imagine that I wanted to rape her (or whatever)? God knows. Stupid creature. As often said, “no good deed goes unpunished”…

Did the young woman use the public telephones to avoid any telephone tap on her own telephone? Or did she simply not have a telephone in the flat? Mobile telephones were effectively unknown then, of course.

I wonder where said young woman is now? Probably a member of the Labour Party (Corbyn faction), and/or a local Labour councillor, now aged 60+ and with decades of silly militancy behind her. Or did she fall by the wayside en route to the post-Marxist promised land, marry some accountant or solicitor, and acquire a suburban house, and a holiday home in some place unaffected by the collapse of white England? Who knows?

I believe in public service broadcasting, but the BBC has not been that, in any serious way, for years, for many years.

I believe in the original dictum of Lord Reith: “inform, educate, and entertainin that order of priority.

The major strategic mistake the BBC made, at least 50 years ago, was to compete with ITV (and commercial radio) for “ratings”, i.e. cheap popularity. The whole point of having the licence fee (meaning a tax on owning a TV) was, or should have been, to create a TV and radio service which concentrated on relatively “high-minded” stuff. Instead of that, the BBC established Radio 1 and, on TV, dumbed down, first of all, BBC1 TV and then BBC2 TV.

The dumbing-down continued, particularly from the 1980s. In the 1990s and thereafter, the BBC television output gradually declined in quality, and the new efforts were generally poor. BBC Three television was markedly rubbish (it was eventually put online-only), though one bright spot was the new BBC Four, which is now (now that BBC 2 TV is so poor) the only decent BBC TV station, the only one with any intellectual pretension.

As for radio, the World Service was reduced from something really worthwhile in the 1970s and 1980s to very poor in terms of quality through the 1990s, and by 2010 to rock-bottom.

The process continues. On radio, it is noticeable that the dumbing-down continues; Radio 3 output is sometimes close to some of that on Radio 2 these days.

I therefore welcome the announcement that the BBC licence fee (tax) is going to be abolished. I welcome it on principle, and also because, these days, something like the BBC, a huge and bloated corporation run by and staffed by, largely, an in-group, almost all thinking the same way (and mostly the wrong way), is totally anachronistic.

Turn on your TV. How many channels are there? 100? More. Yes, mostly rubbish, but many not, or not completely. Do the few BBC ones really offer anything different from the rest? I say no. Ads? The BBC may not have paid advertising, but it advertises its own shows all the time, which is equally irritating.

Now we have the Internet as well. There is just no justification for subsidizing what the BBC, most of the time, now does.

At one time, almost every country in the world, even the tiniest, had its own “national airline” or “flagcarrier”. That was basically an outcome of international conditions that, by the 1980s, had already been superseded by new norms that better reflected reality. The BBC, as it now is, has no place of significance in the world, and no right to be subsidized by a punitive tax.

I also look forward, of course, to the overpaid BBC drones and “celebrities” having their rice-bowls taken away, but that is a secondary, though pleasant, thought.

I have little doubt that a proper study would confirm a similar rate in the UK, maybe 50,000+.

Such traitors do more harm than spies or even terrorists could ever do.

As for thick-as-two-short-planks Priti Patel, her “cunning plan” seems to be to try to discourage small-boat migration-invasion, while allowing in, on an even more lax basis, so-called “legal” immigrants of all kinds, including “asylum-seekers”.

The result of the above is that small-boat invaders will not be returned (anywhere) because most will destroy their papers and/or lie about their origins, while —at the same time— huge new waves of “legal” migration will come. That’s without even thinking about the (up to) 5 MILLION Hong Kong Chinese expected to arrive.

If you cannot see, even now, that this is all part of an international conspiratorial plan, you never will. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. The Great Replacement. The Great Reset.
