It becomes evident that (as I have been predicting for the past couple of years) the “Labour” government of Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper and other Labour Friends of Israel members has no intention of stopping or even slowing the invasion. Au contraire... the plan is to wave a magic wand and to rubberstamp the invaders as “legal migrants” and “asylum seekers”, partly by processing them before they even arrive in the UK.
We must expect a continuing migration-invasion (500,000-1M a year if you include those nominally “legal”, more yet if you include births to non-whites).
Our society is slated for destruction, slated by secret cabals and conspiratorial circles embedded in government, the mainstream media and elsewhere.
A Prime Minister who knows little beyond tick-box rules and regulations, a Chancellor of the Exchequer who was unable to organise her own interest-free Parliamentary credit card, a Home Secretary who was an expenses cheat and fraudster, and a Foreign Secretary who is not really British and who is as thick as two short planks. Ecce, your “Labour” misgovernment…

[a reader’s letter published in a British newspaper from (it seems) 1936]
Of course, the above-claimed situation is not invariably so. There are a number of very wealthy and part-Jewish families in England now, and I believe that was the case even in 1936, at least to some extent. The then Dukes of both Westminster and Bedford were researching, in the 1920s and 1930s, the infiltration of wealthy Jews into the titled aristocracy of England and Scotland.

“Israel” is not just that small country in the Middle East; it is also a global web consisting of the worldwide Jewish-Zionist lobby, and also those in public life whom that lobby has bought or otherwise suborned. Look at the UK. Both remaining contenders for the Conservative Party leadership are Israel-lobby puppets, as is the present “Labour” Prime Minister, “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer, and also his close colleagues (such as Rachel Reeves and Yvette Cooper).
“A city at migration breaking point: An unvarnished dispatch from Coventry – which saw over 22,000 arrivals from overseas in a single year – exposes how housing, schools and GPs are being placed under unbearable strain.

Today the once idyllic vista is scarred by a brutal two-metre-high security fence just feet from the back gardens of their homes, which have names such as Springfield Cottage, Lilac House and Harefield.
Beyond the metal perimeter are diggers, mud, noise and men in high-viz jackets.
‘It’s absolutely heartbreaking,’ added Gillian, who lives next to the chaos with husband Peter, also 66, a retired software engineer.

All very reasonable, at first blush. Helps citizens, saves public money etc. However, this may well be one of the first steps to microchips implanted under the skin.

Later, perhaps cut off from receiving State benefits, even pensions. Then, once most people are on the system, your beliefs and political activities will be added to the mix. The “racist“, “antisemitic” etc will be cut off from services and State financial help, and be even more marginalized for their views etc. After that, taken into “protective custody”…

Nearly 5000 pensioners died of hypothermia last year, that was with the winter fuel payment. 880,000 pensioners are entitled to Pension Credit but don't claim it. One million just over the threshold. Many of these will die, and every excess death is on Labour.

Everything to do with Labour. Gordon Brown made WFP a universal payment precisely because of poor take up. Rachel Reeves has decided to take the money away knowing that very poor pensioners who should get the money won't, irrespective of the resulting deaths. 100% indefensible.
A good example, the above Twitter/X thread, of the ever-more-apparent split in the UK between those who see the realities and those who choose not to see them. The fact is that Winter Fuel Payment is or was a great boon to pensioners, and now huge numbers of them are going to be deprived of it; both those who are entitled to apply for Pension Credit but have not done so and those who are above (often not far above) the Pension Credit capital or income cut-off points, and will therefore not now be given WFP.
“Desperate Ukrainian men have resorted to hiding in their houses for up to eight months just to avoid fighting Russia.
Stories include missing a daughter’s birth, avoiding public transport, and not attending weddings – all to get out of being conscripted into the Ukrainian military.
This comes as Ukraine is on the look-out for more fighters as it has struggled to replenish its army while thousands of soldiers from North Korea join Russia.
Roman, 33, an entrepreneur in Lviv, said he pays $1,000 a month to receive an exemption.
He explained: ‘Eighty per cent of my friends who went to fight have been killed and I don’t want to join them. By now we all know what happens.
‘I am lucky I have money and my own business so don’t need to be on public transport or in places where the mobilisation gangs operate. I don’t go to restaurants or weddings.’
Desertions from the Ukraine army are at an all-time high since the recent escalation of conflict began in 2022.
This comes as Ukraine passed a controversial new law in May that requires every man of draft age — 25 to 60 — to register so they can be called up.“

That tweet from an Israeli account, decrying the deliberate burning to death of Palestinian civilians, including children and hospital patients, was retweeted by Sabrina Miller, Daily Mail scribbler and fairly hardcore Jew-Zionist.

The present UK Government is a Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment, incapable of ruling properly or usefully, and also a mouthpiece for Israel and Jew-Zionism in general.
His face is contorted with terror. ‘Get away from me,’ he begs, as three policemen drag him, shaking, towards a military recruitment desk.
Moments earlier he had been dancing to the music of one of Ukraine‘s favourite rock bands, Okean Elzy.
But now his worst nightmares are being realised. He has been caught in a round-up by one of Kyiv‘s feared military ‘press gangs’ and is almost certainly on his way to the bloody frontlines.
From the look in his eyes, it is as if he has been handed a death sentence. The moment of his arrest was captured on video by horrified onlookers who have spread the chilling footage of his abduction around the world.
But this terrified concert-goer is just one of thousands of Ukrainian men who have been evading their duty by illegally dodging the draft.
More than two and a half years since the conflict began, with the army’s death toll rising by the day, Ukraine is intensifying its efforts to crack down on conscription evaders.
Locals claim these now-viral videos of men being snatched from nightclubs and concert halls in the country’s capital are just the tip of the iceberg.
All around the nation, gyms, restaurants and bars have been the sites of targeted military raids in recent days in a desperate bid to replenish Ukraine’s frontline forces.
But the sight of young men being dragged off the streets and sent to the Eastern front provokes mixed reactions.
And the online videos compound the anxieties of men who have so far evaded the press gangs. One 42-year-old insists he does not want to ‘die for the patriotic propaganda of any country’.
He fears he will be killed or maimed if conscripted.
‘The videos of press gangs kidnapping men are signs of injustice and lawlessness, especially when it is done by people wearing masks,’ he says.
‘As a taxpayer, I have done enough for my country. I don’t believe I should have to fight.’“
[Sabrina Miller in the Daily Mail]
Sabrina Miller again, this time reporting on the press-gangs of the Zelensky regime in Kiev. Reasonably interesting, though her final words are a joke, as if she could not think of anything intelligent to say.
The fact is that the Kiev-regime front lines are crumbling. No amount of Western arms, ammunition, or money (going into the offshore accounts of the members of the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) will save the Kiev government regime, or Zelensky himself. It is doomed.
Part of the reason why the Kiev regime is doomed is because few now want to fight for it. The pathetic would-be-Rambo ex-private soldiers from the UK and USA etc have either been killed or captured, or have finished their agreed tours of duty and gone back home. No more Western mugs are volunteering. As for Ukrainians, they have either fled beyond the borders, or (as Sabrina Miller’s report says) are in hiding.
This whole “Ukraine” episode now needs to be brought to a close. Russian forces will begin a general advance in 2025, and may even take Kiev, leaving a rump Ukraine in the western part of the country, based on Lvov. I think that Russia will be satisfied with that.
Russia is many times the size of Ukraine, has several times the population; Russia, unlike Kiev-regime Ukraine, has a thriving economy, has a valuable currency, and is without dependence on foreign “aid” (or control).
Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

That is their “Knesset” (Parliament). A kind of Oriental bazaar.
That brings to mind a rather odd story once heard.
I was told, long ago (1980s), and by a mutual friend, that Prince Michael Gruzinski, the one-time Pretender to the Throne of Georgia, had told King Hussein of Jordan, at a London diplomatic reception in the 1970s, that he had a plan to “gas the Knesset”. Apparently, King Hussein was not very amused and politely disengaged from the conversation.
Gruzinski was an odd fellow, whom many regarded as a fake, partly because of his name (Slavonic rather than Georgian— “gruzinsky” means “Georgian” in the Russian language), but I believe that there were valid 18th/19th Century historical reasons for that, and that he was genuinely the Pretender to that now non-existent throne, for whatever that might be worth.
I do not recall having met Gruzinski, though I was told that I had, once or twice, and that he remembered meeting me (maybe in 1976 or 1977). I know little of his life, except that he had been awarded (I was told) a First from Oxford, in the days when that meant something, and that he had cut off the tip of another student’s finger while fighting a duel with real swords (not the usual sport versions). Apparently he was “rusticated” (suspended) from the University for that, though that was just what I was told. I myself have no personal knowledge of any of it.
I suppose that Gruzinski must have been about 40 in the mid-1970s, and so would have been at Oxford in the 1950s or early 1960s.
According to my source, he then more or less refused to take ordinary salaried work, and “signed on the dole”. He was eventually summoned to a bureaucratic troika of what I suppose was then called the DHSS. In those days, social security could not just be cut off at the arbitrary whim of some DHSS/DWP dogsbody as happens today.
It seems that some woman on the panel said to Gruzinsky, “are you not ashamed that, with all your educational and other advantages, you are living off the State?“, to which he is said to have replied, “no, not at all. My family have been living off the State for hundreds of years“.
Anyway, whatever the truth of Gruzinsky’s claim to the Georgian throne, he was invited, I heard, to many diplomatic receptions, including some at the Soviet Embassy.
Gruzinsky apparently worked freelance in the field of finance. When he made his startling claim to King Hussein, he had some financial deal going with “the Saudis” (I was also told), and that deal would have been worth (if I remember correctly), some £10M for him personally. You could probably say that would be about £100M in the money of 2024. That was the money that would bankroll his mad (?) “gas the Knesset” plan, if it ever existed. I have no idea. It does sound doubtful, but then so do many things in this world, things that sometimes turn out to be true.
In the end, Gruzinsky died in a fire at the small hotel in South Kensington in which he lived. Not sure what year; maybe 1977 or 1978. It seems that he had returned to his room to retrieve papers connected with that financial deal, but was confronted by fierce flames. He then tried to escape out of a window, fell, and was impaled on railings.
I vaguely recall seeing a local TV news report about that fire. Maybe 1977. Not sure.
Whether the fire was accidental and so co-incidental, or whether MOSSAD (or whatever) had deliberately caused it in order to eliminate Gruzinsky (I doubt it— how could his demise be guaranteed? The “Princess Diana car crash plot” conundrum…), is anyone’s guess.
All a long time ago now. Nearly half a century.

“UK ministers are considering allowing the use of a bee-killing pesticide next year despite promising during the election to ban it.
Neonicotinoids are banned in the EU because they are toxic to bees but have been authorised for use every year in the UK since 2021.
During this summer’s election campaign, Keir Starmer said: “The new government will ban neonicotinoid pesticides imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam due to their impact on bees.”
“This is the face of the world’s most notorious serial killer, according to an author who has been delving into the Jack the Ripper case for nearly 30 years.
Ripper investigator Russell Edwards utilised cutting-edge facial reconstruction technology to generate this CGI black and white image of how the murderer would have appeared at the time.
Mr Edwards used DNA evidence from the shawl of one of the victims to “prove” that Jack the Ripper was in fact Aaron Kosminski, a Jewish immigrant from Poland who was a prime suspect during the gruesome Whitechapel murders.
During the investigation into the murders, Dr Robert Anderson, head of the London Criminal Investigation Department, had identified Kosminski as a key suspect. Confidential police reports, later published in 1894 as the Macnaghten Memorandum, recorded that detectives believed he harboured a “great hatred of women, specially of the prostitute class, and had strong homicidal tendencies”.
Even then, political correctness made them hesitant to point the finger at a Jew, fearing accusations of anti-Semitism.
Mr Edwards’ further investigations suggest that the infamous murderer escaped justice due to his brother’s connections with freemasonry, and he also proposes theories about the reasons behind the gruesome mutilations.
In February 2023, Mr Edwards received several photos, one of which featured 15 men all sporting handlebar moustaches and dressed uniformly in suits with overcoats. These men were identified as members of the Lodge of Israel, a Freemason group established for Jewish immigrants in Britain.
Mr Edwards is of the belief that the Ripper was not a random mutilator, but was executing…Masonic instructions. He also suspects that his brother’s Masonic connections likely shielded his younger sibling from arrest to prevent backlash against the Jews.“

Is the USA belatedly waking up to the fact that Israel just takes, giving the USA nothing at all but a headache? The tail has been wagging the dog for far too long, mainly because the Israel lobby in the USA controls Congress.
“The Ukrainian Parliament has adopted a bill banning the mobilization of citizens aged 18 to 25, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko reported.

Because the Tory Party (unusually) has two candidates of the right in the final two , the remaining part of the campaign promises to be especially vituperative, largely because it will be about the most modest of differences. https://t.co/QKNaqalgpw
So the ultimate choice offered to Conservative Party members, and eventually to the voters, will be—
1. A Nigerian woman married to a banker; or
2. A corrupt, albeit or presumably English/British, nasty type, married to a Jewish woman lawyer.
Both unacceptable.

Australian grifter and Germany-resident social security blodger Mike Stuchbery has found a new target, David Morgan (he tried it with Tommy Robinson, me, and a number of others in the past).
Well, one “good turn” deserves another, so read below about Stuchbery:

“My opinion is that Mark Lewis of Patron Law is a seriously dodgy solicitor who should be struck off. The basis of that opinion is that Lewis continued to advise the defendants in my case after he identified a conflict between him and the defendants. Example: Lewis wrote the closing speech at trial for one of the defendants. The judge thought he was hearing from the defendant, but he was really hearing from Lewis. And hearing from Lewis six months after he came off the court record. What worries me is the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Lewis’ partners at Patron Law know Lewis’ conduct is appallingly bad, but they are not taking action to stop him.“
[James Wilson]
As far as the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority is concerned, it will only take action once an official complaint has been laid. Posting on Twitter/X may alert some members of the public to Lewis’s fraudulent and/or negligent behaviour, but will not in itself get the SRA to act.
Regular readers of the blog will know that I have repeatedly written about Lewis’s fakery, dishonesty, and negligence. Lewis started both to attack me on Twitter openly and also to conspire covertly with others of the UK Jewish lobby to make malicious complaints against me around 2012— complaints to the Bar Standards Board, complaints to the police, complaints to the Crown Prosecution Service. About 12 years of malicious behaviour.
Lewis is or was prominent in both “UK Lawyers for Israel” [UKLFI”] and the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], both in effect volunteer arms of the Israeli state and Israeli Embassy in London.
NEW. Britain’s population is now growing by the fastest rate since the 1970s and much of it because of immigration (ONS). And as I’ve been writing for a while, this will now only accelerate unless we make different political choiceshttps://t.co/Weie1xR91f
All part of the attempt by System scribblers, talking heads and political figures to bamboozle the British people and, in effect, brainwash them into accepting the multikulti society as normal and/or inevitable.
However, Matt Goodwin is really part of the “controlled opposition”, along with Farage, Reform UK etc. Pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby etc. You have to consider why the Daily Mail and mainstream TV find Goodwin acceptable when (for example) I would not be, and when (for example) Nick Griffin is or was not acceptable.

The Hamas incursion into southern Israel/Palestine a year ago resulted in the death of some 1,200 Israeli Jews; several hundred of which were in or connected to the armed forces or security organizations of Israel.
There is also the point that a great many of the Israelis killed seem to have been killed by “friendly fire”, by the armed forces of the Israeli state itself.
The Israeli retaliatory incursion into Gaza has so far killed some 42,000 Gazans. Over 100,000 others have been injured, a great number (about 22,500) with very severe injuries such as or requiring amputations. The majority of the killed and injured have been civilians (i.e. not Hamas personnel), and most of the killed and injured have been women and children.
One has to ask, at what point will the Israeli Jews —and those in countries such as the UK— consider that they have had their revenge? To talk about “a pound of flesh” etc scarcely covers the reality of somewhere around 150,000 people killed or injured. Already the bare proportion is about 1:140. 140 Gazans to every Israeli.

I have posted in recent days a couple of hours of memories by the acclaimed, but now also “cancelled”, historian David Irving. Well worth seeing and listening to, so here it is again:
Today, 7 October 2024, the Israel lobby (aka Zionist lobby or Jewish lobby) is using the events of 7 October 2023 as a hook on which to hang the whole “holocaust” narrative, which in fact (under that label) mainly dates from the 1970s and later, despite being about disputed “events” of the early 1940s. The “usual suspects” are going mad on Twitter/X. A partly-coordinated “claque“.
At the same time, Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer is again displaying his fealty to Israel. In lay terms, Starmer can be, not inaccurately, described as “traitor”.
Also released today, figures showing that the number of people killed by the (Israeli) Jews in Gaza over the past year stands at about 42,000 (killed, not including the much larger number injured, in many cases grievously); many, the majority, have been women and children.
Starmer is a total disgrace, as well as being a freeloading hypocrite.
The same goes for Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper and others.
Ukrainian PM Denys Shmyhal announced that Ukraine will not renew its natural gas transit agreement with Russia, aiming to reduce Russian energy dependence. https://t.co/Z6WYA7toOU
Should I comment as I would like, “the usual suspects” on Twitter/X etc would no doubt make yet another malicious complaint to the poundshop Stasi police…
Still, the locals could stop them, though not by merely asking…
Such fake “Scottish nationalists” are beyond funny. Total cretins.

Odds-on that those ultimately behind that “company” are Jewish, and probably Israeli.
When I was resident in Kazakhstan in 1996-1997, one of those I encountered a few times was the chief of an Israeli energy company called something like Suntree. They were taking over hydropower and other electrical production and distribution plants and networks.
That Israeli, about (?) 70 or 75, had been a general in the Israeli Defence Forces, and he told me (by implication critical of the UK Embassy in Almaty, the then capital) that every Israeli ambassador is given, on appointment, a list or quota of connections to be made— economic, diplomatic, military etc.
Look at how the Israelis interfere in UK politics; of course they have the advantage of the voluntary help given to Israeli officials by “British” Jews.
“The far right can’t take away our hopes and memories. Culture is our weapon.”
[Milo Rau in The Guardian]
but…
“Milo Rau was born in 1977 in Bern, Switzerland.[1] His father’s Jewish family moved from Germany to Switzerland to escape the Nazis shortly before World War Two, while his mother, surnamed Larese, had Italian origins. His parents divorced when he was about two years old.”
I was at a medical centre recently (not on my own account). While waiting in the almost empty waiting area, I noticed a steady stream of people even older than me (in their 70s and maybe older) lining up, looking perfectly well, in order to order their anti-flu and supposed anti-Covid injections.
People with (I presume) real problems had to wait while those “worried well” pensioners endlessly discussed it all with the receptionist. Some of those nuisances wanting what I expect they term their “jabs” were even wearing facemask muzzles. No, dear…that was a couple of years ago…(the message has apparently not yet got through).
Loonies, again. Brainwashed by msm propaganda.

And in the most predictable development ever, Britain’s Armed Forces are now unable to play a serious role in protecting Israel from Iranian ballistic missile attacks https://t.co/9lBKvkbHRS
Fanatical Jew-Zionist extremist (ex-Daily Mail, now editor of the Jewish Chronicle) seems to believe that Britain should “defend” Israel! The sheer gall of “them”! Why should the UK “defend” Israel? This country would be better off were Israel to disappear into history.
The Daily Telegraph is just another mouthpiece or megaphone for Jewish Zionism.
The Palestine-resident (and other) Jews were committing acts of terrorism against British soldiers and civilians even when the Second World War was still ongoing, and later continued and intensified their terroristic activities, kidnapping and hanging British soldiers, blowing up the British HQ in Jerusalem, and attempting to poison the water supply in London, among other acts of terrorism and barbarity.
During the Falklands campaign of 1982, the Israeli state sold French Exocet missiles to Argentina, missiles which killed British soldiers and sailors.
“Newly declassified files from the National Archives in Kew reveal that Israel supplied significant weaponry including strike aircraft to the Argentine Junta in the run-up to, and during, the 1982 conflict.”
Israel, both directly and via Jews with nominal British citizenship, and living in the UK, has suborned the two main System political parties of the UK, promoting Jewish and Israeli interests above those of real English/British people.
The above is no more than the tip of the iceberg.
In short, Israel is not an ally of the UK but its enemy, an enemy all the more dangerous for having a “fifth column” inside UK society.

David Irving
For those who have not seen it, a 2-hour reminiscence by acclaimed historian David Irving:
Irving’s reminiscences are very interesting, not least on the scientific evidence establishing that the “gas chambers” of Auschwitz never were that; also about the selling to the world audience of the word “holocaust” as relating to the repression of Jewry in the years 1942-1944 (the word was rarely or never used in that connection until the early 1970s). Also, about how the supposed “gas chamber” at Auschwitz, visited with fake reverence by millions of (mostly American and Western European) tourists, was only built in 1948, 3 years after WW2 ended, and about how it is, in Irving’s words, “as genuine as the castle at Disneyland“… (there was belatedly placed a plaque on that Auschwitz building, stating that it is indeed a postwar “reconstruction”).

However, according to Jewish “human rights” lawyers in the UK, what is happening in Gaza is “not a genocide“…

The USA and the West generally are rowing back now on support for the Kiev regime. They are still funnelling money and arms to Zelensky’s cabal, but the aim is now not even to expel Russian forces from Eastern Ukraine and Crimea; the most that might be realistic is for the war to stop —or not stop— but on the present front-lines.
There never was, of course, any possibility that the shambolic Kiev-regime forces might seize and retain large areas of Russia, let alone advance on Moscow. That’s for the birds.
Russian forces are poised to advance, either in the winter, or next year, in the summer of 2025. In the meantime, the electrical supply infrastructure, and the transport infrastructure, of Ukraine will be further degraded. The whole of Eastern Ukraine might finally fall to Russia before very long.
The NWO/ZOG states of the West want to keep “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) fighting, but without any hope of military victory.
Few, if any, seem to be getting past the Israeli anti-rocket defences, but the aim may be to deplete the number of anti-missile missiles the Israelis have. I have no idea whether the Israelis have almost unlimited defensive rockets or not.

“Accurate… I spent 9 months in East Africa. It’s very hard to pinpoint exactly why it’s such a mess.
They have an infantile mentality and absolutely no commercial sense.
I once went about 10 miles down the road, in the middle of nowhere on the way to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and every 50 meters there was someone selling watermelon. I said to the driver, “Everyone is selling exactly the same product. Why don’t they try making watermelon juice or something different to stand out?” He replied, “But why would we do that? We like melon!”
That attitude was everywhere. In fact, I would sometimes meet Westerners who would say, “Isn’t it amazing how they’ve kept this piece of junk car going for 30 years?” And I’d reply, “It’s more amazing that we have automated car factories with robots.” They literally only focus on the immediate need. “Car not go today, car fixed with string and tape.“
The only two factors preventing Britain and other European countries from retaking direct control of Africa, of all of Africa, are 1. socio-political will and 2. the fact that the (((globalists))) find it more convenient to exploit Africa’s resources via corrupt tiny “elites” in each fake African “state” (and to hell with the environment, the forests, the wildlife, and the African people themselves).
The fact is that European rule would benefit all, not least the ordinary Africans.
Incidentally, it would be a great deal easier than many imagine for Europe to reconquer Africa militarily. Only the two factors already noted make it at all hard.
Illiterate travel

Read it and see.
I have read other pieces by Suzanne Moore which were written properly, so maybe it was the fault of the Standard.

He is so shit at this. He’s absolutely fucking awful. We really do have Blairism again but with no good bits. And with Alan Partridge as leader.
Pretty accurate summing-up of “Starmer-ism”, in my opinion, “Blairism without the good bits“, though I do not recall many good bits then either, speaking personally.
As far as assisted dying is concerned, I see it as a generally well-meaning attempt to be kind, which however, put into policy and law, is the start of a slide to, eventually, somewhere down the line, killing people for convenience or money.

That’s because you, “Steve Zodiac”, are apparently telling your grandchildren a load of old hooey…
I have blogged in the past about how very many people (including, weirdly, many who were at least in their teens then, and so actually of an age to remember) say, and even perhaps believe, that the 1970s in the UK were some kind of dark age in which the electricity was off most of the time, in which bodies were left unburied by reason of industrial action, in which trains and buses rarely ran, in which rubbish piled up in the towns and cities, in which there was a “three day week” when offices and factories were closed for four days each week, and in which life was generally miserable (for example, food was terrible, they say).
The above-noted fabled dystopia was, we are told, the result of overreaching trade union power and Labour misgovernment.
In other words, out of the 10 years, Labour was in power for about 6 years. Labour government was in place from the early 1960s until mid-1970, then from early 1974 until mid-1979.
Compare to 2024: 81.8% of seats based on 57.4% of the popular vote.
In 1966, the winning party (Labour) got 48% of the popular vote, the losing Conservatives 41.9%.
In 2024, Labour got 33.7%, and the losing Conservatives only 23.7%.
The electoral system has become not just unfair but also illogical and ridiculous. It no longer reflects reality.
Reverting to the general situation in the 1970s, the much-talked-about “Three Day Week” only affected, directly, commercial operations (which were banned from using electricity on the other four days). The Three Day Week only lasted for two months. Out of 10 years (120 months).
I saw the Three Day Week firsthand. I was working, aged just 18, as supposed assistant manager in a very small commercial intelligence outfit based in the Strand (London). The office only had 5 people including me, though we did have a network of mostly ad-hoc agents all over the southern and eastern parts of England (anywhere south or southwest of The Wash). Much of the work was in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Essex. The agents were often retired Army officers who, on being contacted, would —eagerly— say something such as “right-oh, old boy. I’ll fire up the Rover and get onto it.”
I must do a blog post sometime about it.
There were, in the early 1970s, strikes by coal miners etc, resulting in a few brief power cuts (“outages”, as the Americans say), but they lasted for a few hours a day, for a few days. Out of 10 years, again.
In the “Winter of Discontent” (1978-79), there were, for a few weeks, situations in some towns and cities whereby rubbish piled up, yes; that much of the “fable” is true, but only for a brief time. As for the “bodies left unburied“, that only applied in Liverpool and Manchester and only for 14 days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent#Gravediggers’_strike.
In fact, though the 1970s had its problems political, social, economic, Britain still had possibilities. The population was still almost entirely white Northern European, new ideas and projects were around or developing (the Milton Keynes conurbation, the Open University, new express trains, cross-Channel hovercraft etc), and the absurd and damaging house-price madness, though it had started, was still in its early stages.
Britain still had a functioning Army, Navy, Air Force (etc), and a police force that mainly did its expected job and was not usually the sort of poundshop Stasi we now see, snooping on or “monitoring” the expression of views and opinions.
Incidentally, the food was OK back then on the whole. Slightly less cosmopolitan, yes, but in the South of England at least, foreign foods such as hummus, taramasalata, olives, Indian, Chinese, etc were ubiquitous. In fact, some food was better and more available back then.
What I find worrying is not only that people who were not there, or were small children, are convinced that England in 1970-1979 was a dark and gloomy place; more that people who were there seem to have substituted, for what actually happened, a kind of folk-tale.
As for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Largan, who was parachuted into the constituency of High Peak (Derbyshire) and served as MP from GE 2019 to GE 2024, he was only born in 1987.
If people cannot recall accurately the 1970s, how much less accurate must be the “memories”, often publicized, of the 1930s and 1940s.
