Political and social instability is observed in Israel after heavy losses in the Gaza Strip. Israel has already announced hundreds of dead officers, but the number of ordinary soldiers killed has not yet been disclosed.

Yesterday at the cabinet meeting there were also great disagreements and criticism of Netanyahu.

Protests from the families of the hostages are intensifying, knowing that without a ceasefire their loved ones will not survive the war in Gaza.

The economy is knocked down, there is a huge decline, large numbers of Israeli settlers in the border areas of Gaza and Lebanon have been displaced and are unlikely to return anytime soon.”

Map of military operations in Ukraine at the end of 2023 from ISW The American Institute for the Study of War indicated in red on the map the territory that is under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, and in blue – what the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to occupy during its counter-offensive.

For the sake of such “success,” the Kiev regime destroyed almost 160 thousand military personnel, hundreds of tanks and aircraft, and never overcame the tactical defense of the Russian Armed Forces.”

2024 will see, by grace of God, a general Russian advance across Eastern Ukraine; an advance to, and northward along, the Dnieper, and then towards the Kiev area. If so, that may precipitate a collapse of the Zelensky dictatorship.

Meanwhile, in the UK, the Jew-Zionist supporters of Israel pretend to be “afraid” (of mild or non-existent “antisemitism”). They constantly whine (or, more often, demand) that people such as myself be dragged into court for having the temerity to criticize both Israel and “their” behaviour. In a month or so, I myself am to be sentenced, having been convicted of publishing [the truth] on this blog.

Most seem, though, to be being destroyed while still in flight.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week one of my poorest scores ever, a miserable 3/10. Political journalist John Rentoul beat my score (with 6/10), a rare occurrence indeed. I only knew the answers to questions 5, 7, and 10.

Much of the “counter-terror” stuff in the UK is a fake, and a cover for repression of opinion unwanted by and disapproved by the System, or by special-interest groups such as —and mainly— the Jew-Zionist cabals (malicious nuisances such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, a kind of volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in the UK).

More “trans” nonsense. Why are so few people, even now, pointing out the sheer oddness of the fact that an absolute tidal wave of this stuff has crashed over the UK in, mainly, the past few years? What is happening? What is being encouraged to happen? What is behind it all?

I do not say “never believe the experts“, but the fact is that they (and, more so yet, scribblers pretending to be expert) are usually wrong, especially when they try to predict the future, or when unexpected events happen.

Examples? Professor Lindemann [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Lindemann,_1st_Viscount_Cherwell], Churchill’s scientific guru, thought that rockets as weapons could never work unless huge and propelled by solid fuel. Shortly after that, the V-1 and then V-2 rockets started to explode in and around London and elsewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket.

The recent “Covid” “panicdemic” showed up ignorance of the supposed experts of the so-called SAGE committee (I called it “DUMB”— Department Under Matt and Boris).

There are, actually hundreds of similar examples, especially if you move from scientific-milieu examples to those of politics and economics. Lenin thought that the Bolsheviks would come to power when the 1905 “Revolution” (uprising) was taking place. Wrong… and Lenin did not think that the Tsarist state of Russia would fall as a result of the first (Spring) Revolution of 1917. Wrong again…

Probably a poor-looking place even before the destruction, but these were people’s homes, now blasted by some of the war crimes of the Israeli military machine.

At first, I myself believed that the 2022 devastation in Bucha (a small township or suburb very close to, or effectively part of, Kiev) was a real event, albeit one committed by poorly-disciplined allies of Russia (Chechens etc). It is claimed that hundreds of civilians were killed and/or tortured.

Now, I wonder whether it ever happened at all (as reported). The much-photographed devastation seems to have been mainly in one small section of a single street; burnt-out Russian vehicles, destroyed single-storey houses etc. Hard to get to the truth. It may lie somewhere in the middle.

She seems to be mentally disturbed, and/or perhaps a drug-abuser. God help the USA (and Europe) if that crazed woman becomes U.S. President.

Her Wikipedia entry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikki_Haley] contains a couple of interesting facts. Turns out that she is an Indian (Sikh), and that her personal wealth, estimated at USD $1M in 2018, had jumped to USD $8M only 2-3 years later, in 2021. How?

A restaurant that drowned three hundred cats a month to fuel Vietnam’s cruel meat trade has been closed for good.

The Gia Bảo restaurant in Thai Nguyen city, in the country’s northeast, ran a lucrative trade selling cats, likely including stolen pets, drowned in a bucket one after another.

For five years, Pham Quoc Doanh, 37, ran the establishment after struggling to feed his family selling ‘other normal food and drinks’.

‘It was then I tried selling cat meat since there was no other available restaurant serving this in the area,’ he told Metro.

Doanh reached out to the Humane Society International, campaigning to ban the trade in Vietnam, who offered him a one-time grant to set up a grocery store instead.

On December 6, he symbolically tore down the banners outside his slaughterhouse and restaurant and began a new life. 

‘For a while now I have felt a genuine desire to leave the cruel cat meat business and switch to something else as soon as possible. When I think of all the thousands of cats I’ve slaughtered and served up here over the years, it’s upsetting,’ he said.

‘Cat theft is so common in Vietnam that I know many of the cats sold here were someone’s loved family companion, and I feel very sorry about that.’

An estimated one million cats are killed each year for their meat in Vietnam, according to the charity – despite 71 per cent of the population favouring a ban.

[Daily Mail]

Well, my opinion of Vietnam has never been very high (I admit that I have never actually been there), but at least 71% of the population apparently want this trade banned, and they do seem (from what I read today) to be taking steps in the right direction.

I have to admit that I have always found the idea of secret tunnels quite compelling. The KGB had a specific directorate specializing in tunnelling, though one finds little printed about it.

In the case of the Gaza tunnels, we are told that they extend for more miles overall than the London Underground, which has 250 miles of track, much of which, however, is overground. About 110 miles of the London Underground is actually below ground-level.

On that basis, only a small part, maybe 5-10 miles, or <10%, of the Gaza tunnels have been explored or destroyed by the invading Israeli forces so far. Information is obviously being restricted at present.

It makes me wonder whether similar tunnels do not also penetrate Israeli state territory from Lebanon or elsewhere, tunnels perhaps so far underground that they are undetectable.

Most of them are pretty useless.

Something that I, a one-time resident of the tri-state area (and qualified New York attorney and counsellor-at-law) never imagined I should see.

…and about 20,000 Gazan civilians, about half of whom were under 18, and a quarter of whom were babies, or small or young children.

12 metres, so nearly 40 feet wide. These are, in the context, war crimes.

Let them laugh. “They” will not be laughing in a few years’ time, and not only in Israel/Palestine…

Events are constantly putting Russia in a better position strategically.

When I was several months in Egypt in 1998, I used to really enjoy the flat bread fresh from local bakeries, usually bought from a hole in the wall about a foot or so wide. Still very warm, and with a unique taste not experienced anywhere else in the world. The (Egyptian) Arabic word for it is aysh, implying its importance to life.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12892891/labour-mp-dawn-butler-mumsnet-met-police-brianna-ghey-murder-trial-verdict.html

Labour MP Dawn Butler has vowed to report online message board Mumsnet to the Metropolitan Police after users on the site and other social media slammed her reaction to the Brianna Ghey murder trial verdict.

[Daily Mail]

This is where we are now in the UK. Anything online that some idiot like Dawn Butler dislikes is now “reported”, either to the police or other bodies. If a prosecution under Communications Act 2003, s.127, occurs —and despite the Law Commission having recommended repeal of that as “bad law”— anything highly critical or satirical is now deemed “offensive”, and in practice as “grossly offensive” (and so unlawful).

It is a Kafka-esque farce which I saw at first-hand as defendant in such a case only last month.

The law in this area gives carte blanche to, especially, the usual malicious and politically-motivated Jew-Zionist whiners, such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, with the police and CPS as dupes.

Still, we must always remember that “the stars in their courses fight on the side of the just” [ancient Chinese proverb].

Dawn Butler’s actions give indication of what the likely “elected dictatorship” under Starmer may look like. Repressive.

Still, the only way at present to destabilize the mainly binary Lab/Con system is to knock out one or other main party. That will be the misnamed Conservative Party, which may be largely wiped out next year at the 2024 General Election, but the price for getting rid of the Conservative MPs will be a near-dictatorship under Starmer-Labour.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12893007/british-army-orders-400-soldiers-recruitment-offices.html

Britain’s rapidly shrinking military has prompted defence chiefs to shift hundreds of troops from the front line and into recruitment offices.

More than 400 soldiers from across the British Army have been ordered by top brass to join the effort to try and get more people to enlist.

It comes as figures from the Labour party revealed the Army has shrunk by more than 3,000 troops in the past 12 months, with 9,438 personnel leaving while only 6,308 joined.

Britain’s part-time reservist force is also shrinking despite recent efforts to grow it. Between October last year and September 2023, 5,580 reservists left and only 3,780 joined. 

The latest recruitment statistics from the Ministry of Defence reveal the total Army strength plummeted from 79,139 to 75,983 during the same period, as recruiters failed to hire fresh new personnel to plug the gaps, leaving key roles unfilled.

[Daily Mail]

So the first move in getting more troops on the front-line is to…take 400 soldiers out of the spearhead forces and sit them in offices?

Lions led by donkeys“, as someone once said.

Why do we actually bother with an Army and Navy now? They seem incapable of stopping the only invasion happening, or likely to happen these days— the migration-invasion.

Occasionally, some political cretin such as Gavin Williamson [https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/], or Ben Wallace, will “threaten” China or Russia but, as someone else once said, “a general without troops is naked indeed“.

Empty bluster from political nonentities just makes Britain look even weaker than it is, and that is pretty weak.

I think that I was one of a small minority who distrusted “Boris”-idiot from the time when he first became an MP in 2001. I was right…

As to the young woman in question, she quite obviously is either secretly related to “Boris” Johnson, or was sexually-involved with him. I think the former.

As for the rumoured “super-injunction”, no-one has told me…

The Internet makes mock of many things, and the various “little Britain” things especially. The overall situation, however, is not new.

In the 1930s, the public of the USA, France, Germany etc were aware, if interested at all, that Edward VIII was involved with a Mrs. Simpson. In Britain and its colonies, though, that was kept secret (from the British public) until 1937 (to be exact, from December 1936).

In the 1980s, similar situations arose. In the early 1980s, I was told that, at a State banquet held at the Banqueting House in Whitehall for an important Soviet delegation, and attended by someone I knew, the leader of the Soviet group said to a British minister how sad it was that former Prime Minister, Harold Wilson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Wilson], had become completely demented (Alzheimer’s, or similar). Apparently, the British minister nodded sagely before changing the subject.

So the Soviet Government knew, the British Government knew, but of course the British public did not know.

Later, in 1987, the Spycatcher scandal blew up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spycatcher. The British Government went to absurd lengths to try to suppress publication, taking legal action in England and Wales, and in Australia. In the Australian trial, the Head of the (UK) Civil Service, Sir Robert Armstrong, made his still-famous comment about being “economical with the truth“: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economical_with_the_truth#Political_catchphrase.

Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, those interested in the rather underwhelming book could buy it and read it without let or hindrance. Absurdly, the same was true in Scotland, because Scotland has its own legal system and the British Government had not thought to apply for any restrictions in that jurisdiction.

I myself had a copy of the book soon after publication. Not a total bore but not exactly riveting either. Had the Government simply let Wright, the author, sell the book without all the publicity occasioned by the attempt to ban it, it would never have become a bestseller. As it was, millions of copies were sold, and Wright died, possessed of huge royalties, in 1995.

In fact, had the Government paid Wright his full pension at an earlier stage, he never would have written the book, or at least published it.

Now we have the Internet. Anyone with, say, a Twitter/X account can publish or republish under their own name, or a pseudonym. The English courts are unable to prevent —and/or in most cases even punish— any breach of injunction, certainly not before millions of people around the world have seen the material.

The guilty should be punished.

Dutch political commentator, Eva Vlaardingerbroek (@EvaVlaar), on the WEF’s plan to impose a personal carbon allowance, connected to digital ID, under the guise of tackling the imaginary “climate crisis”:

“The CEO of one of the largest Dutch banks said, if everyone gets individual personal carbon credits, why don’t we make it so that rich people, who for example want to go on holiday a little too often, can buy personal carbon credits from people who can’t afford buying plane tickets or eating meat too often?”

So what will happen is the rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer, and they’re saying it openly as if it’s not a controversial thing at all. It’s neo-feudalism. That’s what it is.”

Regardless of whether or when Israel crushes the population of Gaza and maybe occupies Gaza indefinitely, Israel’s days are numbered. Hamas is not Israel’s only opponent.

I should not usually retweet a Jewish Zionist, but the veracity of the above tweet by “Hyman Kochanski” can hardly be denied.

When I opined, at various times over the years, that the UK would gradually decline, crumble, break down, most people either disagreed or replied that nothing could be done about it.

Somewhat akin to my curses as I traversed the crumbling roads of coastal southern England today. Potholed roads (mostly “A” roads, at that, not “B” or unclassified), and mostly not being repaired.

The UK Government has money with which to close down the economy for months and years because of panic over a virus that killed hardly anybody, it has money to spend on housing and feeding hundreds of thousands of migrant-invaders, it has money to throw away as “aid” to the corrupt, brutal shambles posing the the “state” (failed state) of “Ukraine”, but little for the British people.

At the same time, in the UK itself, almost nothing works properly: the migration-invasion continues, people generally are getting ripped-off right, left, and centre, living costs continue to increase relative to both pay and benefits, the NHS is at best now a skeleton service, and the schools and supposed “universities” are churning out “highly-qualified” (thanks to award inflation) “graduates” who know, most of them, ****-all.

That does not cover the entirety of the shambles; just a selection.

Former defence secretary Ben Wallace has warned Israel that it risks undermining the legal basis for its action in the Gaza Strip, adding to growing international pressure over the escalating conflict.

Writing in the Telegraph, the senior Tory warned against a ‘killing rage’ and said Israel’s ‘original legal authority of self-defence is being undermined by its own actions’.

The intervention by Mr Wallace, who left office earlier this year, is the latest warning to Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration amid deepening concern over the scale of civilian casualties.”

[Daily Mail]

Even pro-Israel drones such as Wallace are now trying to distance themselves from Israel’s “massacre of (mainly) the innocents” in Gaza.

The Israelis and other Jews may not be (mainly) descended from the original Israelites of thousands of years ago (the Jews of today being descended mainly from Black Sea or other Khazars), but the former model their actions on the Israelites’ genocidal wars as recounted in the Old Testament.

“Jack Monroe”

I have in the past blogged about fraudulent “grifter” “Jack Monroe” a number of times (look via the blog search box), and still do not understand how it is that a black woman in Bristol is currently in prison for doing effectively the same as Jack Monroe (who has not been prosecuted): see https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/31/edward-colston-statue-protest-bristol-xahra-saleem-fundraiser.

The above details only “Jack Monroe’s” Patreon “grift”. In addition, the “grifting” fraud also got money from stray donations direct to her, from newspaper interviews, radio, and TV shows and interviews, from “consultancy” “work” for major supermarkets, from well-paid appearances at various festivals and other events, and from book royalties, as well as from fake appeals for money based on non-existent legal actions against Lee Anderson MP and others (monies which “Jack Monroe” then pocketed for her own use). A total of tens of thousands of pounds a month at peak.

If you do, you risk (in the UK) being prosecuted at the behest of the Jew-Zionist lobby, eg the malicious cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. They have corrupted or otherwise suborned the police and CPS. I myself was recently convicted in the magistrates’ courts by reason of such a prosecution, as regular readers of the blog will know (I may appeal; we shall see).

Incredibly, there are millions of poor saps who believe loonies and/or liars of that sort. If you are told constantly, for example, from age 5 or 7 or 10, or 14, and from all manner of “authoritative” msm and other sources, that millions of Jews were killed during 1941-1944 in “gas chambers” by German SS personnel in Poland, then that idea becomes embedded in your psyche, and stays there until you are, so to speak, “cured” in —usually— later life, whether that be at age 21, 28, 35, 42 or whenever.

They sit there in their armchairs, calling for genocide, while fellow-Jews smile and laugh in the TV studio or elsewhere, yet if anyone in the West posts a comment about them, or a satirical cartoon, they are —or pretend to be— horrified, and equate that to “terrorism”…

Esther McVey is merely one of hundreds of “deadhead MPs”. The fact that so many clowns can become MPs and even Cabinet ministers proves, in my judgment, that the whole system is rotten.

My assessment of Esther McVey from 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/10/03/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-esther-mcvey-story/.

Goodwin is right on those points, but goes very far wrong in persisting in his support for the Israel lobby, aka Jew-Zionist lobby, the very pack that is closing down free speech in the UK, not to mention supporting the migration invasion.

Stupid “Conservative” drone thinks that about 50,000 migrant-invaders crossing the Channel every year is “not a huge amount“. 1,000 each week. Where does the Government intend to park 1,000 new arrivals each and every week until the year dot (or until the UK explodes)?

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/dec/13/tory-mp-david-davis-recalls-saving-homeless-man-from-attackers.

The Conservative MP David Davis has spoken of how he fought off an attack near parliament as he intervened to help a rough sleeper who was being beaten up.

Davis, a former cabinet minister and leadership contender, said he aggressively stood between the attackers and the homeless man, and dodged two punches.

After “manhandling” the main attacker away, he took the beaten-up man, whose name was Gareth, back to his Westminster flat and let him stay the night on the sofa.

He took Gareth to St Thomas’ hospital the next day, because he was still bleeding.

The incident on Tuesday was first reported by the Evening Standard.

Davis, who trained with the SAS before entering parliament, said it appeared the attackers were “very vicious” and addicted to the drug spice.”

[Daily Mail]

David Davis is one of the very few MPs for whom I have any time (albeit with reservations). Britain might have been in a better place had he, and not David Cameron-Levita-Schlumberger, become leader of the Conservative Party. He has always struck me as basically honest and decent.

Come to think of it, were Davis —even now, aged 74— to stand for the Con Party leadership against Rishi Sunak, he might have a serious chance.

Moreover, Davis is the kind of straight bat that might appeal to many voters, and so at least take the gloss off Labour’s expected triumphal procession to elected dictatorship in 2024. Who knows? He could possibly even do better than that.

Davis’ background from when he was at university (late Sixties and early Seventies) to when he became an MP (1987) is hard to make out from the Wikipedia entry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Davis_(British_politician)], not least because he seems to have not only worked for Tate & Lyle for 17 years but also to have spent a further 4-5 years in business-related student activity during the same years. Still, his background is basically solid, not a confection of lies and talked-up nothing, unlike the CVs of so many Conservative Party MPs.

The post labelled the Green candidate as a ‘man who wears a wig and calls himself a ‘proud lesbian’.

In a social media backlash, Mrs Maclean was accused of transphobia, which she denies, and reported to the police, who saw no reason to get involved.

Homelessness has many causes, but it would be naive to presume that the migration invasion is not one of them, particularly when, over the past 30 years, non-whites and even new immigrants “straight off the (small?) boat” have been prioritized over the needs of the host white British population.

About a million invaders (“legal” and “illegal”) over the past year alone (700,000+ “net”). It is unsustainable, and is breaking apart what is left of our society.

Eastern Ukraine. Fighting at present is concentrated in a small part of the front. Both sides have had limited tactical successes, but Russian forces are sure to achieve victory in Ukraine, strategically.

Kiev-regime funding is being cut back in the EU and USA; Kiev-regime front-line soldiers are not being replaced; there is a recruitment crisis in Ukraine; the Kiev-regime army is running short on arms and ammunition compared to the Russian forces; also, the Kiev regime itself is now politically unstable.

Then, in 2024, the Russian Army will advance west and north to and along the Dnieper.

Hey diddle diddle, MPs on the fiddle” (again)…

Benton would have been unseated anyway, at the expected 2024 General Election. Prior to his victory in 2019, Blackpool South had been a Labour-held seat since 1997: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackpool_South_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

Benton was formerly a primary school teacher. I suppose that he will have to return to that, and will have to regard his unmerited 4 years as an MP as just having been a good opportunity to rip off as much money as possible.

This is yet another blow to the Conservative Party, re-emphasizing the lack of probity in many of its MPs. Quite a few will, like Benton, be looking for new jobs by 2025.

In my view, Lewis Goodall has missed the point. Recent polling has made plain that the majority, indeed nearly 70%, of those planning on voting for Reform UK have no expectation of Reform UK winning in their own constituencies, or maybe in any constituency. They are going to vote for Reform UK as a “**** you!” snarl to the System, to the way things are going generally in the UK (especially England), and against mass immigration and migration invasion.

I see parallels to the 2016 Brexit Referendum. One man, walking his dog (in Blackpool or nearby, I think), was interviewed in the street at the time. He was asked about the possible negative economic consequences of Brexit, but answered (brilliantly, in a way) “I don’t care about all that. It’s only me and the dog, anyway…“.

The msm journalists did not understand that man’s attitude, thought it a result of stupidity, or “poor education” (because he, presumably, had not acquired some useless Mickey Mouse “degree” from a “university” of which no-one had ever heard).

In fact, that man was saying that he was not “aspirational”, did not care about the inflated supposed value of some other people’s houses, did not have sons and daughters called “Josh” or “Olivia” wanting to take (and being able, financially, to take) unpaid “internships” at the EU Commission or Milan fashion houses etc, that he never travelled by helicopter or private plane, and had no share portfolio.

That man was also saying that he had seen Britain decline in almost every way in the past 40+ years, and had seen it invaded by untold millions of unwanted immigrants.

As I tweeted at the time, “Brexit means more than Brexit“.

People voting Reform UK (and I myself do not “support” Reform UK, partly because it is yet more pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby “controlled opposition”, partly because it is not a social-national party, partly because it supports finance-capitalism) do not expect Reform UK to win many, or even any, Commons seats. They want to say “NO!” to the general state of this country.

[cartoon from the time just after the 2016 Brexit Referendum]

As for the pleas of the Conservative Party that voting Reform UK will not get Reform UK MPs elected but simply allow Labour to win more seats, my judgment is that intending Reform UK voters want the Conservative Party MPs to be voted out, and they want the Con Party to be stamped on hard. Why? Because they feel that they have been both betrayed and let down generally…and they have been.

I myself have not read that book, but it certainly looks interesting.

Goodwin has some useful things to say about immigration and migration invasion but, on the negative side, seems to be obsessively pro-Israel, pro the Jewish lobby etc. Have I missed something about him?

True, but frankly I very much doubt that Starmer, in hock to the Jewish/Israel lobby, and who went down on one knee before the black mob of “Black Lives Matter”, will be able to do much better, even if he gets his 200, 300, or even 500-seat, House of Commons majority.

Starmer may “stop the boats” by the simple expedient of allowing almost all the non-European parasites, scavengers, and predators in “legally”. After all, Starmer was a legal weasel for many years.

As to crimes unpunished, I have seen what happens in my own local and County area: real crime not even properly investigated, while fake “crime”, “thought crime”, “online comment crime”, is a, perhaps the, major preoccupation of absurd police people playing at “counter-terrorism” etc. Much of that is influenced by the Jewish/Israel lobby, and Starmer is completely in (((their))) pocket.

I see no real principle in Starmer, just a wish to exercise power for no obvious reason or objectives, unless it is to carry out the wishes of the transnational conspiracy.

In a way, Starmer might be better to stay almost invisible, as in the past year or so, but he must think that he has to begin to be noticed, as the next general election approaches. Anyway, barring the rather or very wealthy, and those elderly people who are die-hard and lifelong “Conservative”-label voters (perhaps 15%-20% of all voters), who really is going to vote “Conservative” next year? Starmer and Labour are almost certainly going to win by default.

Hard to argue with that tweet, whatever your views on the migration invasion.

Goodwin forgets that, if said “populist” parties are not anti-Zionist in the widest sense, and social-national, they are and will be a waste of time and space.

Obvious, but still obviously true.

I hope that those involved in my recent prosecution and conviction for speaking the truth are paying attention.

Well, a very poor week for me: 2 out of 10, but still good enough to beat political journalist John Rentoul, who scored only 1/10. I knew the answers to questions 3 and 4, no others.

From the newspapers

Integrating migrants into society is ‘impossible’ at current levels Robert Jenrick has warned just days after he suddenly quit as immigration minister.

[A statement of the obvious, of course].

Last night he claimed the Tories would face the ‘red-hot fury of voters at the ballot box’ unless further action it taken to bring down the high levels of immigration to the UK.

The former minister went to argue that the Government’s plan to reduce net migration from 745,000 to the 2019 level of 226,000 is a ‘considerable way off.

[Daily Mail].

[in what world is even 200,000 —net— acceptable?].

Zelensky’s inner circle are wary of a threat from the influential Zaluzhny, who has claimed the war has reached a stalemate. Sources tell me that they have tried to have the military chief fired, but he was just too popular.”

[Daily Mail]

It is claimed that the Jew Zelensky not only has 2 luxury villas outside Ukraine, one (in Florida) worth USD $40M, but also has bought two superyachts or megayachts in the UAE.

As to “stalemate“, we shall see during the drier weather of summer 2024 whether Russia has the means and the men to make a general advance on Kiev.

Whether that happens or not, Russia cannot lose the war in Ukraine, and will not lose it.

Only very silly people would believe a word Starmer may say.

The bien-pensants of Twitter/X may say that housing, pay, benefits, pensions etc are more important than immigration as a mainstream political issue, but the fact is that mass immigration and migration invasion make those issues —and others— far more pressing. It affects everything.

Note that Ian Birrell wrote speeches for David Cameron-Levita, whereas Portes is a Jew closely connected, at least in the past, with the Labour Party, but both attack Goodwin’s thesis because both are pro-immigration and therefore, perforce, in favour of the flooding of the UK with immigrants.

I agree with the last tweet.

Diary Blog, 3 December 2023, with a few thoughts about Labour and Starmer

Morning music

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/dec/02/keir-starmer-praises-margaret-thatcher-for-bringing-meaningful-change-to-uk

Keir Starmer praises Margaret Thatcher for bringing ‘meaningful change’ to UK.

Labour leader says former PM ‘set loose our natural entrepreneurialism’ in appeal to Tory voters to back him.

Labour leader says former PM ‘set loose our natural entrepreneurialism’ in appeal to Tory voters to back him.

Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, the Labour leader said Thatcher had “set loose our natural entrepreneurialism” during her time as prime minister.

[Mail on Sunday]

Hard to believe (for those who imagine that Labour is still in some way “socialist” or even “social-democratic”). Starmer praising not only Mrs Thatcher but also global finance-capitalism, and in the Sunday Telegraph to boot!

Britain in the late 1970s had its problems, but the Thatcher government went far too far the other way, though in most respects not as far as have all UK governments since 1997.

“Labour” and “Conservative” have both become just almost-meaningless labels, rather like the kind of parties seen in Latin America which call themselves simple names to bamboozle simple electorates— “blanco”, “colorado” etc. The same as in Russia under Yeltsin; a major party (theoretically or mostly in opposition during the 1990s, but really not) was called “yabloko” (Apple), and its symbol was an apple. Simple, meaningless, deceptive.

Starmer, thanks to the utter collapse of the Conservative Party, is riding high by default. He has no need to even pretend that Labour is the “party for the working man”, as in decades past.

Also:

The Labour leader touted the party’s “iron-clad fiscal rules” in an effort to portray Labour as trustworthy on the economy.

There will be many on my own side who will feel frustrated by the difficult choices we will have to make,” he added. “This is non-negotiable: every penny must be accounted for. The public finances must be fixed so we can get Britain growing and make people feel better off.”

[Mail on Sunday, citing the Sunday Telegraph].

Just look at that. “Difficult choices“, “the public finances must be fixed” etc— the very words so often used by Cameron-Levita, Osborne, and their gophers, Clegg and Danny Alexander, in the early days of the Con Coalition of 2010-2015.

The only slight surprise is that Starmer still refers to his “own side“. What side is that? He pretends that there is still a Labour and ‘Tory’ divide. In reality, the ruling members of both System parties are following the same agenda: globalized finance-capitalism, “Friends of Israel”, and the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan (funnelling blacks, browns etc into the UK in order to create over time a mixed-race and easily-ruled subject population).

Vladimir Putin could resort to deploying nuclear weapons in his war against Ukraine if the Russian despot feels his forces face defeat on the battlefield, a retired US Army Brigadier General has warned.

Kevin Ryan, who served as Chief of Staff for the Army’s Space and Missile Defence Command, said nuclear war is an ‘entirely feasible’ option for Putin if Ukrainian forces make gains on the battlefield and even retake captured territory like Crimea.

Ryan, who also served as the Defence Attaché to Russia, said Moscow is not just at war with Ukraine, but with the West too – and it’s for this reason Putin is much more likely to see the use of tactical nuclear weapons as ‘prudent deterrence’.

The exploding of a nuclear weapon inside Ukraine may seem like “overkill” in a war against Ukraine, but in a war against the West, it could be seen as prudent deterrence,’ Ryan tells MailOnline.”

[Mail on Sunday]

Well, the flaw in the retired officer’s above argument lies in “nuclear war is an ‘entirely feasible’ option for Putin if Ukrainian forces make gains on the battlefield and even retake captured territory like Crimea.

As someone once said, “that dirty little word if“..

“If” Ukrainian forces make gains on the battlefield (they are not making gains), and “if” the Kiev-regime forces “retake” Crimea (that will never happen).

Putin has no need to remind the USA, UK etc (NWO) what power he has. NATO knows what will happen if it goes too far.

Whatever people may tell “their” MPs, the reality is that “their” MPs are (in another sense) “their” MPs (Labour Friends of Israel, and Conservative Friends of Israel)…

Telling MPs this or that changes little or nothing.

Iain Dale, “I think Labour’s position on immigration is an absolute disgrace.. The three of us on this panel have all explained what the benefits of immigration are.. Do you ever hear a politician, from right or left, extolling the virtues of immigration?” “And you have the leader of @UKLabour probably our future Prime Minister, basically saying: the Tories haven’t gone far enough. I mean the world’s gone mad on this issue”

Iain Dale is typical of the UK msm— completely under the influence of the Jewish lobby/Israel lobby, completely pro-immigration, and hostile to the idea that the poorer 90% of the country should have any real rights.

Incredibly, Jewish-lobby puppet Iain Dale received only a mild police caution for attacking that elderly dissenter or protester in the street.

If only life were that simple. I recall being an involved observer of something similar once or twice back in 2011 and 2012, in other words not so long after Labour had been in power for 13 years.

Hard to judge whether Iain Dale is one of the conspirators wanting to import 20,000 blacks and browns (mainly) per week, or whether he is just a bit thick. Maybe a bit of both.

As someone tweeted, Dale lives in an area where average house prices well exceed £600,000, and where the impact on him personally will not be felt for decades, even if he is still alive by then. Rory Stewart is another one, his main property being a listed country house in the England/Scotland border country.

At the present rate, Britain, which had about 56M inhabitants (99% real British) when I was a small child, and which now has about 65M officially and 70M unofficially, will have 77M+ in 2030, 87M+ in 2040, and maybe 100M in 2050, by which time (if this madness is not stopped) the country will have become a soulless, largely urbanized and suburbanized dystopia, where hardly anything works properly and where the population is mainly black, brown, or “mixed-race”.

I am 67 already, so —thank God!— I myself will or would not be here to experience the hell that may be not very far down the line in the UK.

I am doing what little I can to stop that disaster happening, but the forces of the State (suborned by the Jew-Zionist cabals) have already prosecuted me for blogging the truth.

The “Conservative” Party has relied on sheep-voting for a long long time, just like “Labour” did in Scotland (and is now doing in England). Both parties have MPs, “lords”, and activists who want the very opposite of what the vast majority of British people want.

Even the System administrators in the UK admit that about a million “new” inhabitants (even “net”) are in the UK every year. “Illegal” migration-invasion, “legal” migration and also (not even included in immigration statistics) about 500,000 births to non-whites within the UK. Every year. If you add those, the true figure is about 1.5M per year. White (real British) people are not even replacing their numbers.

The Great Replacement. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

The “liberal” and other pro-immigration idiots (and/or enemies of the people) never address the consequences— lack of housing, slow collapse of all civic and social services, fewer opportunities for British youth, lower pay, lower State benefits, and no decent future…

The pro-immigration idiots or enemies just drone that the UK should “build more houses“, meaning hundreds of thousands of dwellings per year, destroying our once “green and pleasant land”, and yet not even keeping pace with the numbers flooding in (and being born to invaders already here).

There are hundreds of millions of blacks, browns, Chinese and others who would like to live in the UK, even as it now is. Many would have, under the outdated “asylum” laws, a legal “right” to live here, if they can blag a way to get here. Imagine the UK with a population of 2 or 3 or 10 times what it now is, so 140M, 210M, even 700M, almost all non-white, non-European.

In reality, our society, and our political system, would collapse into chaos long before the population even reached 100M. Perhaps that is what will happen. If so, the most resilient British survivors may then have to “wade through slaughter to a throne“, in the words of Gray’s Elegy.
