“Arabic might be considered the richest language in words based on its complexity. According to The National – the United Arab Emirates’ leading English-speaking news outlet – on average, a single written word in Arabic has three meanings, seven pronunciations and 12 interpretations.“

Not merely a philological curiosity; it means that the meaning and/or intent of the Arab is not necessarily clear-cut.

True, the same word in English can have several meanings (some words can, that is), but I do not think that that is quite the same, mainly because, in English, the meaning is usually obvious from the context. Also, it applies to a relatively few words, not “the average“.

Something for the Arabists in the Foreign Office to consider, if they have not all been purged, and replaced by Zionists (which may well be the case, looking at UK representation in Ukraine and Israel in recent years).

A few years ago, I posted on the blog my experience, sometime around 1994 or 1995, of having visited the UK’s biological research laboratories at Porton Down, Wiltshire, in company with the then Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, who later became both an unsuccessful candidate for the Presidency of Ukraine and the director of a biological facility in Ukraine (he was a biochemist/microbiologist by training):

Reform UK

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/02/reform-uk-can-win-scores-of-labour-seats-in-england-and-wales-says-study

“Reform UK can win scores of Labour seats in England and Wales, says study.

Analysis of a mega poll shows Keir Starmer would lose more seats than Tories amid voter discontent with main parties.

Labour faces losing scores of seats to Reform UK across England and Wales as a widening section of ­voters lose faith in the mainstream parties, according to a new analysis seen by the Observer.

With senior figures in the Labour party now privately talking about a “change of era” in which more ­moderate voters are turning to Nigel Farage’s party, new research on Reform’s influence suggests it will take far more seats from Labour than from the Conservatives on ­current trends.

Reform would win 76 seats if an election were held now, according to a constituency-by-constituency model. Of those, 60 would be won from Labour, including seats across the “red wall”, as well as in Wales and across the south of England.

However, the analysis also reveals that even a relatively small further swing towards Reform from Labour could see the party pick up another 76 Labour-held seats.

The narrow Labour lead in many seats means it is susceptible in the event of a high turnout among Reform voters, a surge in Reform’s support, or a drop in Labour turnout.

The huge study, commissioned by the Hope Not Hate campaign group, has been carried out by the Focaldata polling company using a mega-poll, or MRP, made up of almost 18,000 voters.

Its analysis of almost 4,000 ­voters currently minded to back Reform found that one in five were “moderate, interventionist” voters who were unlike those who had backed Farage at the last election or supported Ukip or the Brexit party in the past.“

[The Observer/Guardian]

So there it is. Reform could end up with 152 seats even on present polling and trending.

As frequently noted, Reform is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination, but this news, overall, is very good.

I only believe stock exchange speculators when they start jumping out of windows.

You may as well ban cars because a few lunatics deliberately or carelessly misuse them to hurt others. There must be literally billions of knives, even of the type(s) mentioned, in the UK.

Most knife crime is done by “the blacks and browns”, followed by other ethnic minorities, yet contemporary msm scribblers, talking heads, Westminster Bubble drones want to get rid of knives (or certain types of knife)?! Get rid of those doing the crimes. Get rid of them.

Look at the odd man out— the “Conservatives”. I think that they are in a death spiral.

Of course, the System MPs (rather than voters) will fight to keep FPTP, but proportional representation is an idea the time for which has finally arrived.

Looking at it another way, it is certainly the aged who still support FPTP, because they have grown up with it, are used to it and many of them are too stupid to see that its time has gone.

“I spent the weekend in an act of ‘wild service’ helping to restore nature & maybe helping to heal some if the urban/rural divide.

In an event organised by @StEthelburgas & @letterstoearth_, a group of urbanites came together in the glorious welsh countryside to plant hedges & trees.

The method of planting 100’s of metres of hedges to connect up existing habitats (copses, ponds, areas of scrub etc) cleverly balanced allowing the land to be used for farming whilst giving more connected space for Nature.

The thing I wasn’t expecting though was crossing cultural divides. Witnessing some of the farmers on twitter & in the media who repeat culture war bait about hating both Nature & urbanites in the countryside had coloured my impression of farmers more generally. However, our host Dave was so kind & welcoming to his land & seemed genuinely touched that we had come out to help plant & restore; the jar of homemade honey he gave to each of us was a wonderful reward for a weekend well spent.“

Trees add so much to a cityscape or suburb, not only to the countryside.

National Carrot Cake Day

Carrot cake was introduced in the UK (or reintroduced, having been known from at least the 16thC, probably much earlier) on a large scale in the early 1940s days of food rationing, to use vast stocks of carrots (unrationed) in lieu of sugar. It then became popular, and has remained so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrot_cake.

“Carpetbagger Kemi” steering the “Conservatives” straight into a crash landing, or just a crash.

LibDems, as usual, the “dustbin” or “cockroach” party, surviving and even thriving by reason of not being Con or Lab label…

Electoral Calculus suggests that those figures might mean Labour largest party (237 MPs), Reform UK second (148 MPs), Conservatives 125, LibDems 78, Greens 6. So Labour could form a weak minority government with LibDem and SNP (etc) support.

On those figures, the Con Party would not even be the official Opposition, thus weakening their shattered credibility further.

For Reform to be the largest party in terms of seats, its vote will have to increase to at least 27%, if not 28% or more. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Diary Blog, 2 February 2025, including a few thoughts about Trump, tariffs, isolationism, and autarky

12 Comments

A few thoughts about Trump, tariffs etc

Trump is promulgating tariffs on imports from a range of countries and blocs presently major trading partners with the USA. Canada and the EU, to name but two. China, too.

As many are pointing out, tariffs reduce trade, because they make imported goods (and/or services) more expensive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff.

That view, however, though the majority one, is not universally held by economists, at least in specific historical cases: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff#Tariffs_and_the_Great_Depression.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff#Arguments_against_tariffs.

Looked at from a different point of view, there are reasons why Trump’s tariff barriers might be positive for the USA, mainly because they might allow American industry, in decline for half a century, to revive.

American tariffs go back a long way— to 1789, in fact: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff#Political_analysis.

“The tariff has been used as a political tool to establish an independent nation; for example, the United States Tariff Act of 1789, signed specifically on July 4, was called the “Second Declaration of Independence” by newspapers because it was intended to be the economic means to achieve the political goal of a sovereign and independent United States.[93]“

[Wikipedia].

In the short-term, Trump’s tariff’s may well cause domestic prices (within the USA) to inflate. In the longer-term, however, those tariffs may also create American jobs, and also increase America’s long-term security.

The USA is one of the few economies capable of being an autarky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autarky]. Others would be Russia and mainland Europe (the EU, presently).

There is little doubt, though, that in those countries that produce items exported to the USA, the Trump tariffs will cause economic damage, possibly severe damage. That in turn will cause political fallout.

The USA is a huge and vibrant economy. If turned inward, that may be able to create the prosperity and job security so lacking at present in many American communities. The USA should have been isolationist in the 1940s and afterwards, as it had been in the 1930s. It seems to me that that would be a good policy now for the USA. Economic isolationism allied to political isolationism.

The USA should build up purely defensive military and naval power, but avoid doing what it has done, particularly, since 1941, i.e. interfere all over the world. If that is done, American security will thereby be increased.

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.

Historical note

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

“Charles Edward Coughlin (/ˈkɒɡlɪn/ KOG-lin; October 25, 1891 – October 27, 1979), commonly known as Father Coughlin, was a Canadian–American Catholic priest based in the United States near Detroit. He was the founding priest of the National Shrine of the Little Flower. Dubbed “The Radio Priest ” and considered a leading demagogue,[1] he was one of the first political leaders to use radio to reach a mass audience. During the 1930s, when the U.S. population was about 120 million, an estimated 30 million listeners tuned in to his weekly broadcasts.[2]

Coughlin was born in Ontario to working-class Irish Catholic parents. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1916, and in 1923 he was assigned to the National Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, Michigan. Coughlin began broadcasting his sermons during a time of increasing anti-Catholic sentiment across the globe. As his broadcasts became more political, he became increasingly popular.[3]

Initially, Coughlin was a vocal supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal; he later fell out with Roosevelt, accusing him of being too friendly to bankers. In 1934, he established a political organization called the National Union for Social Justice. Its platform called for monetary reforms, nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of labour rights. The membership ran into the millions but was not well organized locally.[4]

After making attacks on Jewish bankers, Coughlin began to use his radio program Golden Hour to broadcast antisemitic commentary. In the late 1930s, he supported some of the policies of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The broadcasts have been described as “a variation of the Fascist agenda applied to American culture”.[5] His chief topics were political and economic rather than religious, using the slogan “Social Justice”.

After the outbreak of World War II in Europe in 1939, the National Association of Broadcasters forced the cancellation of Golden Hour. In 1942, the Archdiocese of Detroit forced Coughlin to close his newspaper Social Justice and forbade its distribution by mail. Coughlin vanished from the public arena, working as a parish pastor until retiring in 1966. He died in 1979 at age 88.[6][7][8]“

[Wikipedia]

It seems that Father Coughlin’s views were a more politicized, and more American (though he was born and brought up in Ontario), equivalent of those espoused by those of the great G.K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc, and others of a Roman Catholic or an Anglo-Catholic ideological background prior to the Second World War.

Leaving aside the rights and wrongs, “IQ” can only take you so far. My own IQ was once measured (40 years ago) at 156, easily within the top 1% of the population, yet I have not taken over leadership of the world and, at age 68, time is running out, at least in my present incarnation.

Looking at most politicians, commentators, business leaders etc in our society, intellectual mediocrity is more likely to lead to “success” than a stellar IQ.

Interestingly, it is claimed that Marilyn Monroe had an IQ equivalent to that of Einstein, which must make one question the basis for IQ’s societal prominence. We are only at the early stages of understanding what makes the brain, the human personality, and society, work.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/31/tired-mood-changed-ukrainian-army-desertion-crisis

“When Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine three years ago, Viktor* was ready to die for his country. He volunteered to defend Kyiv as enemy tanks appeared and joined Ukraine’s armed forces. In the spring of 2023 he was fighting in the village of Tonenke, near the eastern city of Avdiivka. “When I arrived I was super-motivated. If necessary I would give my life,” he recalled.

Gradually, however, he became disillusioned. The battle was furious. “The Russians would smash our positions to the ground,” he said. Senior Ukrainian commanders gave unrealistic orders. Then, while he was defending a ruined building, a panel fell on his shoulder. After receiving injections to reduce the pain, he was told to return to the front. “I realised I’m nobody. Just a number,” he said.

In May that same year, Viktor left his position to seek further medical treatment. He did not come back. His commander marked him down as awol. Viktor is one of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers who have abandoned their units. The exact figure is a military secret, but officials concede the number is large.

The issue of desertion has made headlines in Ukraine. Last week the government launched an investigation into the 155th Mechanised Brigade. Fifty-six soldiers disappeared while training in France. Hundreds of others are said to be missing.

After three years of war, Ukraine is desperately short of soldiers, especially infantry. This has made it easier for Russia’s army to advance in the east. There are structural issues too. New brigades have been built from scratch. They performed poorly.”

[Guardian]

As noted on this blog for the past couple of years.

Russia is winning, slowly. The Kiev regime may collapse later this year. There may be a general advance of Russian forces later in 2025.

“White British births have fallen to a record low! New figures have revealed that White British births now make-up just 55.6 per cent of all live births in England and Wales. But at the same time, the British population is skyrocketing, with the latest reports published in the press predicting that our population will surpass 72.5 million by 2032!

The meteoric rise in population is largely being driven by mass immigration. Both legal and illegal migration into Britain are now at an all-time high and the last up-to-date figures we released show that net migration has reached over 900,000 per year. This is shocking in itself, as that is more people than live in the city of Manchester!“

Electoral Calculus suggests that that, at a general election, might produce a Commons with 212 Reform UK seats, 196 Labour, 106 Conservative, 72 LibDem, and 7 Green (etc). So a Reform minority government.

Reform UK is part of the journey, not the final destination, of course. A useful bridge, if you like.

200+ Reform UK MPs would change the whole atmosphere at Westminster. For example, they could demand proportional representation and then, if the System parties block that, appeal over their heads to the British people via a second general election that might see Con and Lab even further diminished.

I feel, listening to what many people I hear in the course of everyday activity, that the British people have pretty much had enough of migration invasion, attacks on free speech, and enough of the still-encroaching police-state dystopia under the present Labour Friends of Israel cabal (and its “Conservative” predecessors).

Another big factor is the “nothing works properly any more” feeling, which is based on fact— things don’t work properly any more (a situation which, with the increasingly racially-mixed population, can only worsen).

Daily Mail

“Daily Mail to axe dozens of journalists

Newspaper will merge with MailOnline counterpart in scramble to adapt to digital age.”

[Daily Telegraph]

In the immortal words of the Sergeant-Major in It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum, “Oh dear, what a pity, never mind!“.

The Mail, under strong Jew-Zionist influence, carried a full-page report about me in late 2016, after my wrongful and unlawful disbarment. They even sent some little bastard to my door the day after the tribunal hearing. He very nearly had his round skull cracked.

Perhaps the scribblers sacked will find employment stacking shelves at supermarkets. Oh, well, maybe not. The supermarkets are sacking thousands too…

Anyone who has looked at the online version of the Daily Mail will know what to expect— illiterate “journalism” by 20-something scribblers with no real education or background.

The “traveller” menace

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14334773/villagers-accuse-police-abandoning-70-masked-yobs-rip-fields-weekend-terror.html

“Traumatised villagers have accused police of abandoning them after scores of suspected travellers drove cars through fields, set fire to vehicles and even attacked two fire engines while hare coursing.

Up to 70 masked people in abour 25 4x4s brought terror to Fenland communities in Cambridgeshire as they took part in the illegal sport.

Locals left cowering in their homes felt powerless as police failed to respond to dozens of 999 calls.“

[Daily Mail]

The “traveller” situation is one of the biggest public order challenges in the UK. The police are not only unwilling (at senior, “woke”, level) to deal with it; in some cases they seem to be pandering to these unpleasant criminal nuisances.

Look at that Daily Mail report. The police unwilling or even unable to help the real people of this country. Also, note what the “woke”-contaminated Fire Service says; they call that huge disorder “a minor incident“.

There is a solution to the nuisance but, in our “free” country, I am not allowed to publish it…

What Goodwin fails to add is that the “one in three” figure does not include those whose parents, though non-European (i.e. non-white), were born here. The real figure for 2050 will therefore be nearer to one in two.

Since Goodwin tweeted that, Yvette Cooper, the Labour Friends of Israel member and expenses fraudster presently posing as Home Secretary, has said that she intends to keep the focus on both Islamists and the “far right”, i.e. blogs such as this.

The Home Office, like much of the existing administrative system, indeed much of society in the UK, is riddled with traitors, enemies of the people.

Migration-invasion. Migration-occupation.

I once predicted this to a friend who had been offered a safe seat under Blair (but had refused, having thought that being an MP would diminish his income— he had no idea how much the MPs were ripping off via expenses etc).

He answered me by agreeing that it would have been better had mass immigration never happened, but “we are where we are” (i.e. we could do nothing now about it).

That conversation took place about 25 years ago, in fact longer yet, about 28 years ago!

Think how many millions of invaders have arrived (legally, illegally, and via both actual immigration and via births to non-Europeans) since then…

There are enemies of the people everywhere, and particularly in the msm, politics, and public administration. They have to be rooted out.

According to Electoral Calculus, the result of that, replicated in a general election, would be Labour— 179 Commons seats; Reform UK— 170 seats; Conservatives— 165 seats; LibDems 72; Greens, 7.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

So a hung Parliament. Any of the top three could try to rule as a very weak minority government. Alternatively, Reform could ally itself in some form with the Conservatives, and get over the line that way. Maybe even a “grand coalition” of the System parties (LibLabCon). In that event, Reform would be the official Opposition, with every chance of later, after a further election, becoming the governing party.

Reform UK is morphing into a System party anyway, but the Overton Window is moving. Reform UK is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination.

Incidentally, were Reform to go from 26% to 27% (and all other parties stay where they are), the result would be Reform UK— 202; Labour 165; Conservatives 147; LibDems 72; Greens 7.

…because we do not have a truly British government; we have a Labour Friends of Israel NWO/ZOG/WEF “elected” dictatorship.

If Reform UK can become largest party in the Commons, they would have no need to “merge” with the Con-servative Party. They could govern as a minority government. If the System parties refuse to play ball, Reform could simply blame those other parties for the inability to govern, then call another general election, with every chance of getting a majority.

If the weakness of governments continues, that might be the opening a social-national movement needs in order to rise up.

Talking point

A commentary on Donald Trump, relayed to me by a reader of the blog: https://nationalvanguard.org/2025/01/keep-talkin-trash-donald/.

Worth reading.

Written, I now see, by the well-known Kevin Alfred Strom [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Alfred_Strom], and I now also see from Wikipedia that he was a colleague of a Dr. Fields [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Reed_Fields], a short and rather fat man (if memory serves; I may be wrong on that) when I heard him speak, and to whom I was introduced, at one of the regular evening meetings of the League of St. George, which were held at Kensington Library (London) in the mid-1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Saint_George. At the time, I was a member of the League.

I recall Dr. Fields as having been dressed in a white or cream suit (and possibly hat as well, I do not remember; I think so), and with a large flag on a stick sticking out of his lapel pocket. I cannot now quite remember whether the flag was the Stars and Stripes or the Confederate flag.

Fields was introduced to the audience as the representative of something called the National States’ Rights Party [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_States%27_Rights_Party].

Remarkably, Fields is still around, according to Wikipedia, and aged 92; he looked at least in late middle-age when I met him in the mid-1970s, but must in fact have been only about 45.

The exact statistics may differ slightly from that; more or less right, though. My view is that it makes little difference whether the migrant-invader millions are labelled “legal” or “illegal”.

Trump on the line?

How can France imprison Musk when he is not even in France? Macron and his EU cabal must be getting desperate.

I wrote about Macron’s strange background years ago:

On Recent Events in France

“Southport will consume everyone today but 12 yo Leo, murdered 2 days ago in cold blood returning from school – only a short walk home – adored by all and described by his Head as funny & sweet will fall back. I took my son to school and back without fail at that age, I could not let go of him.“

While understandable anxiety from a mother, and in a London which is now somewhere between a jungle and a zoo (I believe that she lives in West Kensington), 12-year-old boys surely do not need their mothers to escort them everywhere.

I was 12 in September 1968. My family was then living in Sydney, N.S.W. I would occasionally travel into the city centre (now, but not then, called the “CBD” or Central Business District), taking the ferry across Sydney Harbour from Cremorne Point to Circular Quay, a 3-mile trip. I even did it when aged only 11. I would then wander around Sydney’s central area, going wherever the mood took me.

I can remember going into a bookshop (I bought a book on Arabic, for no good reason), the offices of the Swiss Bank Corporation, and the very lively Stock Exchange (mining stocks were booming at the time, and the part of the trading floor dealing with them was frenetic, seen by me though the glass window of the public gallery).

[1966 photo of the ferry in Mosman Bay near Cremorne Point. My family lived in Mosman in 1967, then moved about a quarter-mile to the next suburb, Cremorne]
Cremorne Point wharf before the First World War, a view which was still somewhat recognizable (at least the general situation and the ferry pontoon) when I used it a few times in 1967-69. You could see little sharks swimming in the water, and the pontoon swayed as the ferry came in]
[in some more recent year; in 1967, the pontoon wharf was not covered or glassed-in]

Reverting to my main point, when I was only just 13 (by about 2 weeks), and on my family’s return trip by sea to the UK (we had arrived by air), my parents let me walk around alone on the various stops the liner Oriana made en voyage, including Acapulco (at that time not the large and crime-ridden city it now is, admittedly) and Miami (which involved my taking, entirely alone, both a local bus in Port Everglades and then a Greyhound bus to central Miami, and the same in reverse; the ship was scheduled to depart that same evening!).

I have to admit that, if I had a boy of 12-13, I would probably not give him quite that amount of latitude. I think that my main point is still valid. At some point, children (especially boys) have to be given the chance to look after themselves by wandering around etc.

Stray reminiscence

The above recollections sparked another reminiscence of my few years of Australian childhood (aged 10-13).

My parents always had a range of friends, and in Sydney one of those (met via my Anglo-Australian uncle, a business executive) was a barrister called Johnny Szabo, of Hungarian origin. I believe that he and his brother had taken the opportunity to leave socialist Hungary in or following the Uprising of 1956. Before that, Szabo had fought as a tank commander in the Second World War, alongside German forces.

As I understand, the Szabo brothers at first operated a repair garage or body shop in Sydney but, by the mid-1960s, Johnny Szabo was a prominent barrister who, I think I was told, took silk (was appointed QC). I do not really remember him except by name and story, though. I vaguely recall having met him once or twice. I imagine that he must have been born around 1920, so would now be long gone.

It does show how Australia was a land of opportunity for many after 1945. Wolf Blass, the German winemaker of note, would be another example. He arrived in South Australia almost penniless in 1961. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Blass. https://www.wolfblass.com/en-gb/about/our-history.html.

Some say “what about black/brown immigrants in the UK or mainland Europe? Are they not similar?” Answer—“NO…” They are, many of them, perhaps most, heavy millstones round the collective neck of the European people(s).

London. Zoo.

“Youths“? No mention of the racial background, not even by the tweeters themselves. #Brainwashed…

Let us say, for the sake of argument, that the aforesaid untermensch had not killed anyone. Would there, even then, be any reason for the British people to tolerate his presence, that of his family and clan or, for that matter, others, being in the UK, or in any part of Europe? I say not.

The only reasonable agreement will be for the Kiev regime to withdraw its capital to Lvov, though with authority over all Ukrainian territory west of the Dnieper except for the cities of Kiev and Odessa, which should be declared free cities, or having condominium status. Russia to rule all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper and also a corridor of land along the Black Sea coast, both east and west of Odessa.

That will turn South Africa, at long last, into the usual African-ruled “basket case”, of course. The dwindling white minority has kept South Africa at least semi-civilized since that idiot Mandela took over in the early 1990s, but whites have been emigrating in very large numbers since then. Eventually, perhaps not long in the future, the chaos and misrule, in some cases amounting to savagery, seen in most of black Africa will engulf South Africa. Once European/white rule ended, that was always going to be the endgame.

In my own mind, knowing two or three people, previously healthy, who (having been multiply-“vaccinated” by the anti-“Covid” poison) have had to endure heart bypasses etc, I have no doubt that the sane thing to do is to avoid being dosed with this pharmaceutical effluent.

Doubt that I now count as anything other than one of the “newly-poor”, really; I used to use Waitrose often, about 4x a week, but over the past 15 years, especially the last 5 years, the quality of produce has worsened (much worse than Tesco, or even Lidl) and the once-stellar service from always-pleasant staff of all ages has deteriorated to the point of no return. I therefore rarely use Waitrose now.

My local area has a Marks & Spencer food store, and there is a Tesco 5 miles away, a Lidl and Aldi about the same distance. I like Lidl for its foreign products’ weeks, mainly, when they sell such as Polish sour-cherry juice, Greek feta etc.

As for free coffee, when you have to take your own cup in, the offer becomes much less attractive.

Ha ha! Ridiculous System talking head blames online retailer for selling a knife used by a non-white crazie to attack a child. That is so typical of Britain today.

In the past, if a shop sold a knife, or even a firearm, later used by some criminal or lunatic to hurt or kill some one else, the criminal or lunatic was blamed, not the retailer!

The James O’Brien type (a type found not only in the msm, but also among the more self-deluding part of the public) is desperate not to blame the influx of backward populations, aka “the diversity”, for crimes of that type. Oh, no, it must be the fault of those selling knives!

I wanted to buy a knife (for more usual purposes) recently, in Tesco (I think it was). Sorry, we no longer sell knives…

When will this madness end? When “the diversity” are chucked out, I suppose, and not until then.

Actually, I do not blame only the criminal or lunatic— I blame also those responsible for importing backward populations into Europe, including the UK.

The “most immediate” threats to the British people are internal, not external— the migration invasion, the degeneracy of the mainstream media, the Jew-Zionist lobby, the Islamist/Muslim lobby, and the increasingly feral British population itself.

Russia is no threat to the UK. More specifically, Russia will only be a threat to the UK if NWO/ZOG/NATO keeps pushing for war.
