Another “Matt and Julia” vlog post. This time they fly from Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) to Novosibirsk, and then to Kemerovo, where Julia was born.
I was interested to see how nice, relatively uncrowded, and how up-to-date, were the airports. Novosibirsk Airport was especially impressive.
As to Kemerovo in snow, slush, and minus-degree temperatures, it looked pretty bleak to me. One thing that surprised me, and that I had noticed on some of their other vlog posts, is how far the couple are prepared to walk, when many (including me) would have preferred to go by car. They set off (not even wearing gloves) from the home of Julia’s relatives to central Kemerovo, striding purposefully through the snow in what looks like a vast snowbound urban landscape. They seem to be walking for miles.
Worth seeing, despite the relatively superficial commentary.

I do not usually watch ice-skating or ice-dancing, but it is amazingly graceful and skilled.
I myself have skated a little in the past, when I was in my twenties, though never either skilfully or gracefully. I occasionally hit the Queens Ice Rink in Queensway, Bayswater (London) in the early 1980s, and also skated once, in 1996, at the Olympic ice rink at Medeo, near Almaty, Kazakhstan, built for the 1980 Winter Olympics.
Happy times (in part).

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.

So in the end Nigel Farage beat Count BinFace. But turnout was down. He increased his vote by about 1,000. So it's not clear what exactly this stunt has proved.
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…
We now know #Labour were too scared to compete, so instead, Unfunded Andy did some TikTok videos about bread rolls and buses, then ran away on holiday after just two weeks in the job, only to return to announce that he will be hiding migrants all around the country.
Always it's Britons who are asked for tolerance, but what's happened is that our society has changed, diminished in quality with the influx of intolerant, ignoring our customs/ laws, migrants greedy for benefits "We want a house and and Englishwoman".
All the traditional churches (and their offshoot organizations) have fallen into decadence and evil.

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.

[“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.
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.
[“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.

Ha ha. I doubt that Putin will be shaking in his boots. Does that political pygmy, Healey, really imagine that his empty threats will concern a country whose leadership controls, apart from large numbers of ships and submarines, something like 6,000+ nuclear weapons?
It really is ludicrous watching little System-party people such as Healey enjoying their 15 minutes of fame on (what they obviously imagine is) the “world stage”.
In any case, Britain should be out of NATO and seeking closer relations with Russia. Apart from, in that event, not being a prime target in any major conflict, the British people would then get their required oil and gas at cost price, from Russia.
Oh no. Please don't tell me the Government's now going to pretend the reason we didn't have a single ship in the Med was because we were chasing Russian submarines. https://t.co/JH4ACcVo0t
As already said…ludicrous. Like all present Labour-label ministers, Healey is just a silly little joke.
The reality of what happened is now clear. Trump ramped up the rhetoric to hysterical levels (again). Iran called his bluff (again). He needed an off-ramp. He asked Pakistan to negotiate it, agreed to Iran's terms, then completely invented different terms to try and save face.
Iran is now able to tax all ships, or all it wants to tax, using the Strait of Hormuz. The “going rate” is said to be USD $2M per ship per transit. Normal traffic, i.e. when there is no active conflict, was about 150 ships per day (westward and eastward combined). That adds up about about USD $300M per day into Iran’s coffers. “A nice little earner”, if you like. Even if only the eastward ships are to be taxed, that would still be about USD $150M daily.
[update, same day: Iran now says that, during the 2-week ceasefire, only 15 ships per day will be allowed to traverse the Gulf. I presume that that is designed to keep economic pressure on the West.]
Almost identical to another poll yesterday. Main points: a solid Commons majority for Reform (about 383 MPs), and Starmer losing his own seat (as in all polls for months now).

All her money, and she chooses to live there. Hard to believe. Ghastly unaesthetic architecture, few trees beyond the palm trees lining some of the main roads, a mediaeval legal and political system, Dark Ages religious and cultural basis, few civil or legal rights for European residents, arrogant and culturally-backward locals, and a climate unbearable for a good part of the year.
I have been to the region a few times (though I admit that my experience of Dubai itself does not extend beyond having been to the airport —in transit— several times). Nein danke, anyway.
Also, in reality Dubai is a backwater, for all of its —until last week— frenetic business and tourist activity. If I wanted to live in a non-European backwater, and could choose, it would be somewhere like Rio, or the Caribbean, not the Middle East, certainly not the Arabian/Persian Gulf, and certainly not Dubai.
I suppose that Dubai, if it had Jews, and Jewish money as well as Arab, would be some kind of globalized template for UK society in the eyes of the likes of Richard Tice (Isabel Oakeshott’s personal partner), maybe Farage, and others in the leadership of Reform UK.
That is why Reform UK can only be a means to an end (destruction of the Labour and Conservative parties); in any other way, Reform is a dead end, a fact which will only become obvious to the British people after it forms a government (assuming, as I do, that that will happen in 2-3 years).
Incidentally, I now see that Isabel Oakeshott is International Editor at the online-only “Talk TV” platform, where (according to Wikipedia) her salary is £250,000 per year (there is no personal income tax in Dubai). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_(streaming_service)#Change_to_TalkTV
Talk TV, owned by a Rupert Murdoch company, is so amateur that it reported, inaccurately (and the lie may still be up on the Internet), that I was “jailed” after the malicious Jewish-lobby “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] pressure group cabal (a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London) managed to procure a criminal prosecution of me a few years ago (2023; sentencing was in 2024).
In fact, I did not even get a suspended sentence, just a brief “community order” (basically, a few hours of discussions with a probation lady, about 5 hours altogether) and a fine (some internet sites “reported” that I had been sentenced also to do “community service”, i.e. slave labour. No, I was not).
For the truth about my trial and its aftermath, a rather more accurate account than you will see on rubbish platforms such as Talk TV, see:
Talk TV also hosts, occasionally, the one-time notorious Internet troll Stephen Silverman from the “CAA” (he grandly terms himself “Head of Investigations and Enforcement”), who is always whining about “antisemitism”. He used pseudonyms to target anti-Israel tweeters (almost all women). A very nasty individual.
I call it the “does anyone actually watch?” Talk TV.

According to a report from Hebrew 12, the Israeli military cabinet has informed the army that Iran is just warming up and escalating the war. The missile strikes will intensify, and there's no end in sight yet.

I wonder whether the Iranians have saboteurs embedded. The Iranians are of course Shia, Kuwaits Sunni, but it might not be ideological; could be mercenary, if it was sabotage at all.
One troubling thing starting to emerge is that the Iranian drone strikes are proving more effective than military planners expected at the start of this conflict. They are much harder to detect and neutralise than Iran's ballistic missile capability. And much easier to produce.
One other thing about Keir Starmer's increasingly hopeless vacillation over the Iranian attacks on UK targets. It's obviously bad enough in its own right. But Vladimir Putin is sitting and watching this. What signal are we currently sending to him.
For once, I have a word of faint praise for Starmer-stein. After all, why should the UK join in (yet again) on the Jewish/Israeli side. As for “British base was attacked“, those bases now serve NWO/ZOG “American” interests, not those of the British people.
👀Looks like Iran has hit the oil facilities at Ras Tanura. Very big deal. Ras Tanura is not just the world's biggest oil export terminal. It's an iconic site that goes back to the very birth of Saudi as a petrostate. Here's something I wrote about it in Material World👇 https://t.co/aAuHc4xjP2pic.twitter.com/qw6MrhWmzL
Ah. “Saudi Arabian” oil (and gas). Discovered by Europeans and European-descended Americans. Extracted by Europeans and Americans. For a long time, refined by Europeans and Americans. Transported across the oceans by Europeans and Americans. Consumed mainly by Europeans and Americans. In another century, the Saudis will not be arrogantly visiting the cities of Europe and the USA, ostentatiously flaunting their unearned wealth. They will be back on their camels, and probably living in tents again. The same goes for the Gulf Arabs in general.
The thing about RAF Akrotiri is that it's not just another base, it's technically a British Overseas Territory like Gibraltar or the Falklands. Iran is attacking British sovereign territory. https://t.co/Q6xB6IxLBw
No. Reform UK could have won at Gorton and Denton if it were social-national, rather than a farrago of pseudo-“libertarian” finance-capitalist nonsense and worship of money, and also worship of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby. Also, it could have won if more English voters in that constituency had actually bothered to turn off the TV, and had got off their rear ends, and had voted. Also, had Farage put in more walkabout time there.
That said, the by-election result is most significant for the fact that Labour was trashed and trodden down. The fact is that Reform UK, despite its flaws, is still riding high, up to 30% in opinion polling, with both Con and Lab as low as 15%. Gorton and Denton may have rejected Reform UK, but Reform is still on track to gain hundreds of MPs in other areas at the next general election.
Stray thought
I was just reminded that the distance from Tel Aviv to the border of Gaza is a mere 47 miles, almost exactly the distance from my one-time (2002-2008) barristers’ chambers in Exeter to my (leased only, sadly) country house on the Cornish side of the Tamar. Once or twice, in emergencies, I managed to go door to door in only 30 minutes (on the dual-carriageway of the A30 for most of the journey but including single-track lanes and, in Exeter, traffic and traffic-lights).
It's crystal clear from the Hegseth press conference the United States has no coherent mission objectives or strategy. It's essentially bomb, see what happens, hope the Iranians rise up in some undefined way.
Starmer-stein is moving from being a mere clown to becoming a total joke.
No 10 says Starmer is ‘getting on with the job with the support of the Cabinet’ – but is unable to point to *any* public expressions of support from members of the Cabinet in the last 24 hours
They need street-cleaners in Vienna…(Mandelson has toothbrush, and will travel…).
It's hard to see how Starmer survives resignation of both his chief of staff and his director of comms within 24 hours of each other… feels like a No 10 operation in crisis and that this could be over quite quickly now.

The suspects detained in the case of an assassination attempt against Russian Lieutenant General Vladimir Alexeyev confessed to having acted on orders from the Ukrainian Security Service, Russia’s FSB reported:https://t.co/nwlLAxQn6ipic.twitter.com/9ZcTAYnLm3
I do not doubt that they confessed (whether guilty or not).
Triggers a few memories.
When I lived in Almaty, Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I lived on Prospekt Lenina, one of the main boulevards. One day, I heard that an American who apparently lived across the (very wide) boulevard from me had been found tortured to death in an armchair in his own apartment.
At the time, I was sole expat lawyer for a British firm in Kazakhstan. The other office staff, however, about 5 people, were under a Kazakh ex-policeman turned fake lawyer (I am sure that he had either bought or forged his qualifications).
This individual in my office had links to the KNB, the renamed Kazakhstan KGB, and told me that the murdered American had been a gay who had picked up two men at a casino. They had murdered him, thinking that he had cash. They had also stolen items from the apartment.
What interested me most about the story, however, was the assertion that, because the KNB had apparently suspected the American (a supposed journalist, working for an obscure Texas-based journal, of which no-one had ever heard) of being a CIA operative, and so had bugged that man’s apartment (both audio and video). There was therefore both audio and video evidence of the torture and murder, though (sadly for the victim) not seen until the next day. Had the KNB been watching in real time, they would have been able to save the victim.
The murderers were, it seems, arrested the next day, and (of course) confessed. I imagine that they were shown the evidence, but would very likely have confessed even had there been no evidence at all. The Kazakh police are rather rough.
There were few foreigners resident in Almaty at that time. I was told that there were about 50 Brits, and quite a few more Americans (in a city of, even then, nearly 2M inhabitants). I doubt, though, whether I myself was suspected of being more than a boring/innocent expat lawyer, but who knows?
Incidentally, I went for a talk at the British Embassy there, not long afterwards, about “personal security”, given by a visiting expert from London. I was often at the Embassy anyway, had met the Ambassador and others several times (and it was walking distance from my home).
There were about 30 British people, businessmen mostly, assembled to hear the words of wisdom.
“Von Smallhausen” mentioned the murder of the American, cast doubt on the idea that he had been a journalist, and also mentioned the not dissimilar case of a Swiss banker, also murdered in the city not long before.
The “visiting expert” also said that most expats he had met on his brief visit had assured him that Almaty was safe for foreigners, yet he himself had visited a nightclub in the centre of the city a day or two previously and, on exiting the club, had tripped over a dead body.
I have to say that I never had serious trouble while I lived in Kazakhstan (1 year), and what minor trouble I did have was handled one way or another. There again, I usually avoid nightclubs, bars, and casinos in most parts of the world. In fact, unlike most foreigners in Almaty at that time, I not only travelled by car but also on foot and even by local bus, trolleybus, and tram (there was no Metro at the time). My then girlfriend remarked that I had to be the only foreigner in the city with a monthly public transport pass, though I had my own driver to take me to the office and back. I like to wander and explore alone sometimes.

Hard-to-believe news
Apparently, Tony Blair has been talking up the possibility of —of all people— Shabana Mahmood taking over from Keir Starmer, and so becoming, by default, Prime Minister! Jesus H. Christ! Has the woman not been over-promoted enough? She has already been appointed as Justice Secretary/Lord Chancellor and, since then, Home Secretary, despite having not practised at the Bar (beyond her one-year pupillage); she was a salaried “gopher” at a firm of solicitors for about 2 years after that.
Actually, I hope she does take over. That would sink the Labour Party completely.

I have found that the betting odds are poor predictors of by-election results, but for what it might be worth, the Greens are now favourite, and are marginally odds-on, Reform is now around 7/4, but Labour has now gone way out, and stands at around 17/2 (Advance UK 150/1, LibDems 500/1, Conservatives 1,000/1).

Someone who killed several great empires: the German Reich, then (after 1945, when subject peoples were eventually allowed “independence” because the European nations were exhausted) the French, Belgian, Spanish, Portuguese etc, and…the British Empire as well.
Had Churchill not blagged his way into taking over as Prime Minister in 1940, an honourable armistice might have been, and almost certainly would have been, concluded between the British Empire and the German Reich.
Western and Central Europe would thus have been saved from the ravages of war, and Eastern Europe from at least some of the ravages of war. Stalinism would either have been defeated in the field, or contained east of the Urals. Eastern and parts of Central Europe would then not have fallen under the rule of the Soviet Union in the 1940s (which rule of course lasted until the late 1980s).
In such a scenario, there would have been no premature decolonization in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere. Massive damage to the environment and wildlife would have been largely averted.
That never happened, mainly because Churchill became Prime Minister of the UK. Almost everything else was consequential.
Disastrous.
We in the UK would also have avoided being gradually and largely taken over by the “you know who” special interest tribe. Oh, and would never have been invaded, whether by Windrush (etc) Caribbeans or by rubber boat migrant-invaders from every failed state in the world.

The London School of Economics ran a piece by Irene Coslet promoting her new book claiming Shakespeare was actually a Moroccan Jewish woman. Her evidence is shockingly poor: She says it must be true because Shakespeare wrote about women too well for a man. https://t.co/6VgI5cQV24
I, on the other hand, will presume that Irene Coslet herself is a Jewish woman, until I see evidence to the contrary. She may not be Jewish, in fact, but there is certainly more likelihood of her being Jewish than there is of Shakespeare having been a Jew.

…and a detailed, much older but frequently updated blog post about the milieu of the now-defunct Jew rapist, sex trafficker, and Israeli agent, Epstein, which very long post goes into, inter alia, Epstein’s (and Ghislaine Maxwell’s) relationship with Israeli Intelligence, including both MOSSAD and Aman (Israeli military intelligence):
The Epstein inner milieu was essentially Jewish, though non-Jews with useful intelligence information, influence or “clout” (such as American future or ex-Presidents) were also invited to travel to “Lolita Island” on the “Lolita Express” private jet(s), and to stay on the island.
Some of the Jews invited by Epstein included Peter Mandelson, the famous Jew-Zionist lawyer Alan Dershowitz [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Dershowitz], and prominent members of the Israeli intelligence apparat.

One factor alone: a couple of days ago, the first “unescorted” migrant-invader boat for about 2 years came to UK shores. In other words, every day, give or take, for the past 2 years, the migrant-invader untermenschen have been “escorted” to the UK by the Royal Navy, Border Force (farce?) or the (captured by traitors) RNLI’s vessels. Or, to put it another way, the invaders have been ferried here. Google “Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan”…
Translates to a Commons with about 445 Reform UK MPs, 71 Lab, 48 LibDem, 41 SNP, 14 Con, 7 Green (etc).
Who would ever have thought it? Not only the Reform upsurge, but a mere 14 Con Party MPs in the Commons, only seven more than the Green Party, and scarcely more than a quarter of the LibDem contingent.
Also, Labour projected to be on 71, having won or retained 412 MPs only just over a year ago, in 2024.
What makes recent polls even more remarkable is that Reform has climbed so high despite most people polled residing little trust in Farage, Reform’s leader (and I dare say that Tice, Reform’s deputy leader, and a total doormat for the Jewish lobby and Israel, would poll even lower, assuming that the public generally are even aware of his existence).
Imagine where an upsurge-party could be if it had a leadership cadre in which the public could reside trust!

The Jewish “leader” of the misnamed “Green Party”, who thinks that a million migrant-invaders per year is “not a huge number” (not just the rubber-boat invaders —50,000-200,000 a year— but also the “legal” migrants).
It is easy to say that the open-borders Greens are just loonies that have no traction, but those loonies are currently polling at 12% in some polls. That is almost as high as the current polling of the “Conservatives” and the LibDems (both around 15% in some polls; in others the LibDems are on 12%, Cons 15%).
Of course, the Green Party is mainly default voting for some disenchanted former Labour Party voters. They are unlikely to poll, in a general election, as high as 12% (6.39% at GE 2024), but it is disturbing that so many people are willing to accept such rose-tinted socio-political fantasies as having any reality.
The fact is that the legal framework around “asylum” is totally outdated. It was never meant to apply in a world which is in such chaos that maybe 10% of the entire population of the planet, i.e. 800 Million persons, might plausibly have a “well-founded fear of persecution“…

“Jeffrey Epstein was a very wealthy man, but exactly how wealthy and where that money came from remains shrouded in mystery.
Newly unearthed emails last week shone light on Epstein’s role as freelance client development officer, acting as a channel between political figures and business titans, greasing up the former with lifestyles they could not afford and the latter with avenues of political influence.
…the questions about the source of Epstein’s wealth have never been fully resolved. He was worth nearly $600m at his death, thanks mostly to two wealthy billionaire clients – Victoria’s Secret founder Les Wexner and, later, Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black – as well as Johnson & Johnson heiress Elizabeth “Libet” Johnson, sister of former US ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson.
Between his collection of lavish homes in New York, Palm Beach and Paris, two private Caribbean islands, two jets and helicopter, Epstein held nearly $380m in cash and investments, according to his estate.
That wealth arrived suddenly. According to associates, until the end of the 90s, Epstein was living in a two-bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side close to the river. It was only when Maxwell arrived from London that his lifestyle was dramatically elevated.
Epstein moved to a townhouse on 68th Street and later to a 28,000-sq-ft mansion on 71st Street, later transferred to him by Wexner in 2011.
Steven Hoffenberg, a former business partner of Epstein convicted of running a Ponzi scheme, claimed that Maxwell’s father, disgraced press baron Robert Maxwell, introduced his daughter to Epstein in the late 1980s.“
Jews and others in the UK, USA, France etc who support the Israeli armed forces are at least morally complicit in Israel’s war crimes taking place in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and elsewhere. Some of those individuals and collectives are also directly complicit, sending financial aid to Israel, doing business with Israel, and sending young Jews to Israel for training in military skills, unarmed combat etc.

All good points. When I was still a barrister, I occasionally, only very occasionally, had cases of that sort, despite not being at all a criminal specialist.
Incidentally, regular readers will know that I was both wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016, long after I had ceased practice, and by reason of a conspiracy by connected packs of Jews, particularly the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].
For example, a case where a lady (married, young children, living in a private house in a close) was arrested in front of her children at about 0700 hrs because someone in the same little street thought that she might have thrown a stone 2 days previously that might have caused a scratch on the car of the complainant.
No evidence was ever adduced as to whether that car even had a scratch in the first place (it seems not); neither was there any evidence at all that anyone, let alone the lady in question, had thrown anything at all at any car. There was a complete lack of evidence not only as to whether the lady had committed a crime, but even as to whether any crime had actually been committed. There was no evidence, as noted, as to the car having been damaged at all, by any event or action.
Despite all that, Devon and Cornwall police woodentops actually arrested the lady (who, by the way, had no previous convictions), took her to the police station at Exeter, and held her there for 4 hours. She was never interviewed, and was eventually released without charge, left to find her own way back home. Her workplace was not informed of her arrest, and her young daughters had to find their own way to school.
The police these days often, indeed usually, do not do their proper job at all, but then they go completely over the top, especially if they can persuade themselves that “far right” “extremism” (“oooh!“) is involved.
Having said that, though I myself have been bothered at home by police nuisances several times over the past decade (once or twice by real police, once or twice by “PCSO” toy police), and always as a result of malicious complaints made by Jew-Zionists such as “Slitherman”, the liar and perjurer (albeit unconvicted), who is the main spokesperson for the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, I have never been forced to suffer a “dawn raid” or night-time raid, not yet anyway. Indeed, when I was charged with my free speech “crime” in 2023, it was merely by “postal requisition”, i.e. a letter in the post, and I was not interviewed prior to that in relation to the bad-joke alleged “offences”.

Quite.
Look at those idiots, posing in Kiev in battledress, as if Kiev is in, in some real sense, a war-zone. They look so happy to be filmed with the Jew Zelensky and to find themselves on TV news. Promising to put the UK in the firing line on behalf of a fake state which did not even exist 35 years ago, and with which the UK has no commonality of interest at all.
Meanwhile, the real invasion of the UK continues, and our brave sailors and airmen do nothing to stop it.
Painted ships on a painted ocean. That Radakin person may be an admiral, or indeed a Sea Lord, but what is an admiral of a navy almost without ships? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Navy.
The same applies, mutatis mutandis, to an Air Marshal of an air force with very limited capabilities. In the Second World War, the RAF sometimes used a thousand bombers on a single raid, and lost hundreds overnight. Now, the entire RAF consists of about 200 combat aircraft, if not fewer.
Of course, even more money will be wasted on the Kiev regime, while the UK slides into disorder and need.

What are you talking about. Reform is on 33%. It is No. 1 in the NATIONAL polls. Nobody has ever done this before. If you are idiotic enough to think “not good enough for me” then, with all due respect, good luck in the wilderness. Now is your one chance. Now. https://t.co/Z6rnSRPUDE
Yes. Reform UK, for all its faults (pro-finance-capital, pro-Jewish lobby etc) is, all the same, the only game in town to smash the existing main System parties. Later, after the next general election, the national revolution may devour its own children, and a new reality may emerge.
That translates to a Commons with about 348 Reform UK MPs (a comfortable majority), Labour 118, LibDem 72, Cons 39, and SNP 36 (etc).
Conventional wisdom has it that the Reform lead in the polls will flatten out, and the main System parties will challenge that lead, or come close. I wonder. My sense is that the British people have had enough, and are ready to try something other than what has failed for decades and especially since 1997.
It is not impossible to think that Reform, now on 28% in the latest opinion poll, and which has been as high as 33%-35%, might get up to 35% or even 40%. That really would be an electoral revolution (the 40% figure all but wiping out both Lab and Con).

Koreans have a long historical memory. In the early 1950s, American bombing killed outright perhaps 300,000 civilians in North Korea. Subsequent starvation and exposure is estimated to have killed several millions (according to American air force general Curtis Le May, 20% of the entire population of the North).
Some may say that the North Koreans would not relate that to the present-day and to their pursuit of nuclear missiles, or have forgotten about what happened 75 years ago. I am not so sure about that.

In the 1960s, 1970s, Britain still had avenues open to it that would have taken the country in better directions. Now, in several ways, but mainly by reason of the demographic changes, the black/brown (etc) invasion and births etc, we are being painted into a corner.
That poll is an outlier, in that other recent polls give Reform a Commons majority (this one would be 27 short, but in practice about 17 short), and this poll has the Cons in third place instead of fifth.

As to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], this blog addressed the CAA “lawfare” campaign(s) both recently and on previous occasions:
[“The CAA is a foreign influence operation which acts on behalf of the State of Israel, a hostile and illegitimate genocidal Jewish supremacist state. Its directors, staff and donors should be investigated by the security services under the National Security Act. This attempt at a private prosecution is a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP), and an act of desperation by the State of Israel in a propaganda war it has already lost. The State of Israel, via the CAA, is attempting to buy its way into the criminal justice system to silence critics of Zionism. They will fail. The Left Legal Fighting Fund is aware of several SLAPPs being brought by the CAA on behalf of the State of Israel against British public figures. We will defend those who are targeted with lawfare by the Zionist movement. To donate, go to: http://fightingfund.org/donate To notify us of a SLAPP the CAA is pursuing against you, DM me or email info@fightingfund.org We will defeat them. #DismantleZionism.“]

Part of the answer to that is the reason why it is pointless for General Blimps in the British Army to issue statements about the (non-existent) “nation” pulling together to face war with Russia (which is unnecessary and being contrived by secretive cabals in London, Paris, and Tel Aviv).
War with Russia is unnecessary. Conflict of any kind with Russia is unnecessary. War with Russia would leave the UK a charred and irradiated wasteland, and the way things are going, most of the survivors would not be English/British anyway.

As noted already, secret cabals in London and Paris seem intent on triggering another truly major European war.
Starmer-stein has fewer troops every day. Officers and others are leaving, few are joining up. If the ones “training” in Ukraine are wiped out, the British Army will be left with little but headquarters staff and the odd online and “diversity” unit here and there.
Over the past three days, the Russian military leadership has been finalizing plans to respond to the recent Ukrainian airstrike targeting airports.
What happens next will be unforeseeable to Zelenskyy and his Western sponsors.

If Russia takes control of Kyiv, it will become a disaster for “American leadership on the world stage” that is much greater than the outcome of the Vietnam War. Boris Johnson is sounding the alarm.
He also said he was “praying” that congressional Republicans would end the roughly $60 billion blockade of funding to Ukraine, adding: “The situation is grim and the delay is appalling.”
The British politician also said that the chaotic flight from Afghanistan in 2021 is “nothing compared to a possible Russian victory in Ukraine.”

Royal Navy recruits no longer need to be swimmers A source says there is concern about the change to entry requirements, which means there will no longer be a 30-minute swim test prior to being recruited, and brands the move "a sign of true desperation to increase recruitment… pic.twitter.com/WiwmSZYCFW
Very few choose to join any of the armed forces now, because the services have no prestige, a poor career structure (certainly for “other ranks”), poor housing and, at the end, after 3, 5, 10, 22 or however many years, are just dumped into civilian life, in many cases without non-military skills, without accommodation, and without much money.
Another point is that some potential recruits are being forced to wait for months, even a year or more, before being approved by the rotten private contractor, Serco.
Back in 1975, I was told by someone in the Intelligence Corps of the British Army that some people were desperate to join immediately because they had no roof over their heads, and literally no money. The Corps would stretch a point, and allow them to come in even before the paperwork had been completed, and before any binding commitments had been made.
Such recruits would be given accommodation (at Templer Barracks, Ashford, Kent, now turned into a housing development like everything else in England), would eat in the NCO’s mess (there are no private soldiers in that Corps), and something would be found for them to do for a few days or a week while the necessary box-ticking was being done.
If accepted, they would join the next recruit squad; if not, they might go elsewhere in the Army or, at worst, leave having had a week of food and shelter; no harm done. Not now.
Apparently, the various military units at Ashford (the Intelligence Corps at Templer Barracks, and also the much larger ordinary Army base which surrounded the guarded Intelligence Corps centre) have long since been moved on, and the area, redeveloped as housing, is now known as Repton Park, though I have just seen that there is a small reserve Army military presence nearby even today.
“George Henderson had to sell his home to repay nearly £20,000, years after ticking wrong box on carer’s allowance form.
A carer who says he was “dragged through the courts” and had to sell his home to pay back almost £20,000 in benefit overpayments is fighting to clear his name after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) acknowledged he made an innocent mistake.
George Henderson, 64, said he made a gain of just 30p a week while claiming carer’s allowance for his son John, who has learning difficulties and is addicted to heroin. He now costs the Treasury £1,000 a month more in benefits, having become homeless and too unwell to work.”
[The Guardian]
Really absolutely disgusting. Britain in 2024.
Also, look at the sentence imposed by a Crown Court judge in respect of the matter:
“He protested his innocence but was found guilty. In 2018, a judge at Preston crown court gave him a 32-week suspended sentence and ordered him to wear an electronic tag for 16 weeks.
Henderson is one of a number of carers the Guardian has spoken to after exposing how people looking after disabled, frail or ill relatives are being forced to repay huge sums to the government and threatened with criminal prosecution after unwittingly breaching earnings rules by just a few pounds a week.”
“In the high street of Crookes, a leafy hillside suburb of Sheffield with a large student population, there were plenty of people saying they would vote Labour at the next general election – but most weren’t too happy about it.
“It feels like the lesser of two evils – it’s definitely better than going back to what we’ve got,” said Amy Pattison, a 24-year-old occupational therapy student at Sheffield Hallam university. “All I know is I won’t be voting Tory. And whatever I do vote will be tactical.“
Most people said they would vote Labour for one simple reason – to get the Conservatives out of power.
“I’ll be voting for Labour. But I’m more anti-Conservative than I am pro-Labour,” said Chris Macdonald, a 30-year-old teacher. “If our voting system was different I would be tempted by other parties, but it feels like it’s Labour or Tories, and I want them out.“
[The Guardian]
That chimes with my feeling about overall voter sentiment. Few people really like the Starmer version of the Labour Party, but almost everyone wants the Conservative Party to go down (and preferably never get up again).
