“American aircraft carriers will not scare anyone in the Middle East, says Ritter.
Washington sent two aircraft carrier groups to the Mediterranean and Red Sea. But their presence will not change the situation in the Middle East and will not impress adversaries, US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.
In his opinion, the forces that the Pentagon is deploying in the region will not be able to have a significant impact on the brewing hostilities. They will not be able to intimidate Iran, Hezbollah, or even the militants who are launching attacks on American bases in Iraq and Syria.
“This is just posturing. In this way, the United States is trying to create the appearance of activity, while behind the scenes it is desperately trying to get Israel to defuse the situation and not invade the Gaza Strip,” Ritter explained.”

Sajid Javid, that weird little monkey-on-a-stick. I thought that he had self-immolated, or at least left political life.
We are now learning that between 3000-4000 Palestinians came from Gaza to commit the massacres and NOT all were members of the Hamas terror organization. That means regular Gazans came with Hamas and committed these brutalities. What kind of society breeds people who behave like…
If some Gazans are monstrous, they have been made monstrous, and made so by Israel, by Israeli Jews, almost all of which undertake military service, including keeping the Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza and other parts of former Palestine.
The Israeli narrative now is, in effect, “Hamas operatives entered southern Israel a few weeks ago, killing hundreds of Israelis. Most of the attackers were killed or captured, but we have bombed and rocketed, and will now continue to rocket and bomb, Gaza, killing tens of thousands directly. We have also switched off most supplies to Gaza of water, food, electricity, and gas, which may kill hundreds of thousands directly and indirectly. We also intend to use poison gas. We are the victims (always)...”

The Russian army has “learned lessons from the conflict” and will soon be ready to attack Ukraine, General Waldemar Skrzypczak told RP.
“Moscow is effectively bypassing sanctions barriers, actively replenishing stocks of all types of weapons and preparing for long, difficult military operations,” the military officer notes.

“Ukrainians demand answers from Zelensky about missing soldiers, writes New York Times Last week, hundreds of Ukrainians who came to Kyiv from different parts of the country staged a demonstration near the office of Vladimir Zelensky.
Those gathered chanted his name and demanded that he bring their loved ones home from the front, writes The New York Times. The protest was a “rare display” of discontent.
Despite the fact that cemeteries across Ukraine are steadily filling up, there is almost no open criticism of the authorities’ actions. But the pain and losses accumulate, the publication notes. Relatives of missing Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are growing increasingly frustrated that the government, which fears a decline in morale in society, is unable to give them concrete answers.
Some demonstrators admitted to The New York Times that they had been trying to obtain this information for more than a year without success, and asked reporters to write down the names of their sons.”

We received a threat via phone call from the Israeli occupation threatening the destruction of the main Gaza Municipality building in Palestine Square.
We confirm that the main municipal building is the headquarters of the main administration of the municipality, and it is a building that was built about 200 years ago.
The building contains the city’s documents and archives, and implementing the occupation’s threats to bomb it would plunge the city into a state of great chaos.
We call on all international and humanitarian organizations to intervene urgently and curb the occupation.”

While I doubt that Aaron Bastani, Ash Sarkar etc are themselves proponents of a “free society” anyway, the fact is that an editor, a Jew at that, has been dismissed for noting the callousness of (I presume, not having read the material) Israel and the Jews and others outside Israel who regard the victims of the attack on the Gaza “Ghetto” as “collateral damage”, in some cases expressly.
You see that attitude in tweets by some of the unpleasant Jews in the UK prolific on Twitter/X.
The editor in question lives and works in the USA, with its supposed regard for “free speech”. However, as I have blogged in the past, while that U.S. Constitutional protection may save someone from being arrested and/or prosecuted, it does not save someone from being dismissed from a job, or removed from a profession (perhaps), and so (in a finance-capitalist society) possibly losing his place of abode, quite possibly also his family life etc.
Needless to say, the mainstream media, publishing etc are completely owned or controlled by Jews in the USA (and UK, for that matter), and even where not, strongly influenced by Jew-Zionism.

Born in Somalia, brought up there and in Kenya, then (how? why?) came to the UK, was granted asylum (why?) and later made a “British” citizen (why?). No education (even at primary level), no job. Basically both a parasite and a criminal. A completely useless individual from the point of view of British society.
That is one migrant-invader out of literally millions. She has been sheltered and fed (etc) by the British people (through their taxes), and now large further monies have been spent on her investigation, prosecution, trial, defence, possible appeal, and costs of imprisonment. Then, after her eventual release, more monies spent on her shelter, food, etc. That is only ONE migrant-invader, out of millions.
The best you can hope for is that they are just useless; many are far worse.
The present mainly white Northern European UK population will be, within a few decades, a mainly black/brown/Chinese (etc) population, ruled over by finance-capitalist cabals (mainly Jewish or mixed Jew/white), as provided for in the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

A massacre is being covered up, Gaza needs internet.@elonmusk you must provide the Gaza Strip with satellite internet, just as you did with the Ukrainians.#starlinkforgaza#Gazabombing
The Israelis say that they have proven that Hamas has been using some areas in or below hospitals in Gaza as HQ and staff centres, and that that fact (if it is a fact) gives Israel the right to flatten such hospitals (after —sometimes— telephoning a hypocritical “warning”).
Decent people(s) would of course still not bomb such hospitals, knowing that civilians, many of them mere children, are there. The Israelis not only “disagree”; I do not think that they (and their Jewish supporters in countries such as the UK) actually see the inhumanity in that reasoning.
As someone once put it, “the simulacrum of the human“…
As I know only too well, free speech is on the way out in the UK. I am (obviously) not a Muslim, let alone an “Islamist”, but I am not at all “offended” by some foreign person shouting about “Jihad” against Israel in the streets of London. I am not even very offended, or would not be, if the same foreign individual were to cry out for “Jihad” against the UK, or against me personally. After all, the most extreme Zionist Jews have been tweeting malevolently about me for about 13 years. The people of whom to be afraid are those not shouting in the streets.
If foreign (inc. foreign but born here) groups are a danger, then resettle them outside the UK.
As for Suella Braverman, she (like Jenrick, and Mark Harper, who was weaselling for Israel, as usual, on Sky News this morning) is just another doormat for the Jewish lobby. She has no idea of much, either politically or, I think, legally. A silly woman who is trying to position herself to be the leader of whatever small group of Conservative Party MPs is left after 2024.

Just a weasel-trick lie from yet another corrupt puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby. Just another way of funnelling more non-whites into this suffering country.
Eventually, Israel will be isolated, and its population will be trapped within its chosen boundaries, just as the people of Gaza are now trapped within their never-chosen boundaries.

“On September 25, 2000, 19-year-old Kevin Hines attempted to end his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Plunging over 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour, he hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae and narrowly missing severing his spine by two millimeters.
Despite the odds, he miraculously survived the impact. Upon realizing he was still alive, an intense will to live surged within him. Yet, the weight of his clothes continuously pulled him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay. For what seemed like an eternity, he struggled to resurface briefly, gasping for air, just enough to hold on to life.
Suddenly, he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water’s surface, where he remained until the Coast Guard arrived. It was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat: a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived, as eyewitnesses had observed.
His story gained major media coverage and he has since become a motivational speaker and advocate for suicide prevention.“

The death toll in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip has exceeded 5 thousand, and more than 15 thousand people have been injured, the local Ministry of Health reported.
It is not impossible that there will eventually be a kind of sectarian/civil war across Israel/Palestine. The massive military advantages Israel possesses lie in nuclear weapons, tanks and other armour, air power, high-tech surveillance, much of which loses effectiveness or even utility in closely-packed areas (which describes much of Israel/Palestine).
There may be a war, eventually, in which infantry or guerrilla forces play a major part.
Impossible? Maybe, but my prediction, a few years ago, that the Palestinians might break out of their “open prisons” to attack Israeli civilians in Jewish areas has now come to pass in the recent attack on Southern Israel, so who knows?
Senior advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Mark Regev: We realize that the battle will be difficult in Gaza, and Hamas has built a formidable military machine.
As I blogged before, the Gaza situation, as it now is, is most similar, historically, to the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, but this time the Jews are not the ragged defenders but the heavily-armed and armoured army, with air support, attacking an urban enclave filled with mostly-unarmed civilians (in this case, mostly babies, young children, and young teenagers).

Video from the hospital showed fire engulfing the building and the hospital’s grounds strewn with bodies, many of them young children.

BREAKING: AL-AHLI BAPTIST HOSPITAL MASSACRE – BBC JOURNALIST STATES IT HAD TO BE ISRAEL
BBC's John Donnison: "It's hard to see what else this could be, really, given the size of the explosion, other than an Israeli air strike, or several air strikes" pic.twitter.com/Gxx4evC9DW
Israel is lying through its teeth to blame the hospital massacre in Gaza on Hamas. Neither Hamas has that powerful rocket nor has there been any second explosion of stored explosives to pass on the blame. Netanyahu's murderous hubris has brought this disgrace to Israel.
Most Israelis are not descended from ancient “Israelites” but from Khazars:
Much of the WW2 “holocaust” narrative, used to give legitimacy to the migration-invasion of Palestine by Jews in the mid/late 1940s, is not true, notably the “gas chambers” fable;
The migration-invasion of Palestine by Jews in the mid/late 1940s was neither necessary nor justified. Jews massacred large numbers of Palestinian Arabs, and buried the bodies in mass graves, afterwards stealing the land, houses, apartments etc of the murdered victims.
The “holocaust” narrative is still, 80 years on, being used as cover for the continuing Israeli/Jewish military and other crimes.
Anna Botting gives an outstanding and brave example of how genuine journalism can expose truth from questions.
The accuracy of the questions expose the truth to the lies of the answers.
Jew-Zionist loony and troublemaker pretends to fear “a worldwide pogrom“. I suppose that I should not comment.
Same loony seems to think that the inhuman destruction of the hospital in Gaza should not be noted or criticized because it is a so-called “blood libel” (the mediaeval belief that some Jews killed and/or ate European children).
In any case, even if we leave aside the hospital attack and the 500+ killed there, look at what the Israeli Jews are doing generally in Gaza. Massive destruction. Massive attacks on areas full of civilians, about half of which are children, and a quarter of which are young children under 11 or 12 years of age. Also, the cutting off of water supplies, food supplies, gas, electricity, medical supplies etc.
Meanwhile, in the UK, several people individually (including me) are being prosecuted under a law (Communications Act 2003, s.127) which is so open to abuse (mainly from Jewish/Zionist cabals) that the Law Commission has officially recommended its repeal.
I should add, belatedly, that my alleged sins are said to date from 2020 and 2021— nothing to do with the present Israel/Palestine situation.

DOUBLE BY-ELECTION DEFEAT FOR TORIES
@SkyNews obtained a memo to Greg Hands outlining concerns that the party's vote share could halve in both Tamworth & Mid Beds by-elections tomorrow, ending in the loss of both seats.
I'm indeed very confident of a Lib Dem win. I've knocked on hundreds of doors where there are very disgruntled Tory voters who'll either stay at home, or vote Lib Dem. Only a handful would even consider voting Labour. The Tories are going to lose, and Labour can't win in Mid Beds
Well, who knows? With a day to go, there seems all to play for, not only for Lab and Con, but for the LibDems too.
At a guess, I too would have looked (pre-2020) at the Cons as the most likely choice by far (Nadine Dorries scored almost 60% in 2019), but people even in very “Conservative” areas are now mightily angry (mixed with apathy in view of the convergence of most Con/Lab policy). Not sure whether those former Con voters will vote Lab, though. I am inclined to think abstention or voting LibDem might be more popular.
The betting markets are often wrong on by-elections. Still, at present the betting exchanges have the Cons odds-on, Labour around 3/1 and LibDems around 5/1.
Sounds plausible, but that LibDem bet at 5/1 could be value.

Further research into the Conservative Party candidate seems to confirm my earlier comments about his medals (Iraq and Kosovo): he enlisted in the Staffordshire Regiment, and served for 6 years. His final rank was Lance Corporal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-cooper-38367816a/?originalSubdomain=uk, and it seems that his specialism was as a sniper.
Cooper himself self-describes as “Progressing from Sniper to Lance Corporal in the Staffordshire Regiment of the British Army. Completing tours such as Iraq, Kenya, Kosovo and Bosnia performing duties including surveillance, target acquisition and official duties in France for Queen Elizabeth II“; and
“Experienced, effective and diligent Railway Engineer with a strong track record in the sector following on from a distinguished military career. I specialise in railway maintenance and asset management but also have significant experience of railway engineering projects.”
Cooper having been a railway engineer for 17 years, I should think that he does a lot more good in that field than he might as an MP.
Well, there it is. We shall know the result late tomorrow, or early on Friday.
I think that Labour will win at Tamworth; not so sure about who will win in Mid-Beds. The bookmakers prefer Labour at Tamworth, and the Cons in Mid-Bedfordshire.

“FAZ: Russia is using the situation in Israel to discredit the United States and distract attention from Ukraine.
After the Hamas attack, the Russian President, on the one hand, spoke out for Israel’s right to defend itself, on the other hand, he condemned the blockade of Gaza, comparing it to Leningrad, and confirmed his commitment to the two-state principle.
Despite the fact that Russia has good contacts in the region and called for de-escalation of the conflict, Western countries in the UN Security Council rejected Moscow’s proposal. Frankfurter Allgemeine explains this by saying that Russia has intentions to use the new conflict to its advantage. The newspaper points out that the Russian president calls the situation in Israel “a striking example of the failure of US policy in the Middle East” and accuses Washington of not taking the “fundamental interests of the Palestinian people” into account.
In addition, according to the German newspaper, the Kremlin is using the conflict to divert attention from Ukraine. “The prospect that Israel will now receive Western weapons and ammunition that Kyiv might otherwise receive is emboldening the power apparatus and the media” in Russia.
Moscow also benefits from rising oil prices, which fill government finances.“

“America has been condoning Israeli war crimes for years, recalls Scott Ritter It is not unusual that the Israeli military bombed a hospital in Gaza, killing 500 people.
Such tactics are consistent with the IDF’s “Mowing the Grass” doctrine, which involves disproportionate violence against not only militants, but also civilians, including children, US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.
At the same time, he said, Washington is in no hurry to introduce an embargo, stop or at least criticize Tel Aviv, whose army is actually committing war crimes with the help of American weapons. Moreover, the United States has been turning a blind eye to this fact for many years. “We know what Israel is doing. We support what Israel is doing, so any talk in the US about compassion for the Palestinian population is one hundred percent false. We have never sympathized with the Palestinians. We have always supported Israel’s perspective and strategic goals, even if they include the “Cut the Grass” policy,” Ritter emphasized.”
On the wider point, people in the UK, USA etc should be aware of the open hatred those shown above (even those brought up in the USA) have displayed toward their host population and against those of white Northern European ethnicity generally.
Not all Jews have the above-displayed genocidal enmity against white Northern Europeans, but many do. I myself have seen it.

It is now an ethical duty for those who have any kind of public platform, even one as relatively little-seen as my blog, to stand up against the Israeli war machine and repression apparat.
If the intention of the Israeli government is to seize about half of the already-crowded Gaza Strip, and to force the 2 million inhabitants (half of whom are under-18) to exist somehow in the remaining half —or even third— that would create social and living conditions far far worse than those seen even in the much-publicized Warsaw Ghetto of the early 1940s.
More than 2,200 Palestinians, including 700 children, have been killed in Israel's war of extermination in Gaza, backed by the US and EU. Three hundred people were killed on Saturday alone. Others are still missing under the rubble.https://t.co/oiu0e638Lt
What “Westerners” are up against here is the mindset of a tribal people whose designated ancient history, and religious celebrations right up to the present-day, are largely about ethnic supremacism, ethnic cleansing, wars against other peoples etc. Look at the Old Testament.
Those who, like most white Northern Europeans, think by default as post-Enlightenment liberals, do not understand much of the Israeli mindset, which somehow bypasses those liberalistic Enlightenment values, just as Hebrew, a dead language in the 19th Century, was deliberately resurrected for use in the 20th/21st centuries.

Thick part-Jew trustafarian Zac Goldsmith seems unaware that Mandela was tried, convicted, and imprisoned not for his simplistic and stupid political views, but for conspiring to start a terror campaign and race war in South Africa: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivonia_Trial.
At that trial, the defendants were all Africans or Jews, and the defence lawyers were almost all Jewish. One defendant was acquitted at the direction of the trial judge.
Incidentally, Mandela was allowed to give a three-hour-long speech from the dock. Try doing that in the UK of 2023!
“At the beginning of the defence’s proceedings, Nelson Mandela gave a three-hour speech from the defendant’s dock, in which he explained and defended the ANC’s key political positions.
He justified the movement’s decision, in view of the increasing restrictions on permitted political activity on the part of non-White Africans, to go beyond its earlier use of constitutional methods and Gandhian non-violent opposition to the state, embracing a campaign of sabotage against property (designed to minimize risks of injury and death), while also starting to train a military wing for possible future use.” [Wikipedia].

According to Malcolm Rifkind the Israeli government is not ordering civilians in Gaza to move south. It is simply a suggestion. A matter of common sense. We would appear to be in the ugly Tory moral territory of Rees-Mogg on the people who died in the Grenfell Tower fire.

What about the UK-based Jew-Zionists applauding the slaughter of civilians (many of them children) in Gaza, whether or not those Jews usually say, in effect, “oh dear, how sad, never mind” (and place the blame with the Gazans for not surrendering every last vestige of human rights to the Israeli ethnostate)?
Suella Braverman is Priti Patel Mark 2: plenty of tough words about the cross-Channel migrant-invaders, but little action, little plausible policy, and completely in the pocket of the Jewish/Israel lobby. Another waste of space.
So Israel should right the wrongs that they can. Don't expect a people to peacefully accept dispossession and life in a concentration camp.

There is nothing much that the Palestinian Arabs can do to counter the massive Israeli military force in the field. They do not have jet fighters, tanks etc. However, in the close confines of Gaza, especially Gaza City, it may be a different story, one more akin to some of the battles seen over the past year in Ukraine; or at Stalingrad 80/81 years ago.
The Scottish police, prosecutors and courts seem to be every bit as (((infested))) as one would have expected. The malign influence of (((the usual suspects))), of course.

Stray thought about Gaza, Israeli “military action”, and social media
What strikes me most about the UK Jew-Zionist outpourings on Twitter/”X” is the sheer sadism and hatred many of the Jew-Zionists are putting out. Many of them are gloating about how the civilians of Gaza are about to be crushed, subjected to pain and devastation etc.
Many Jew-Zionists are effectively or actually saying that the Gazan population (half of whom are under 18, and at least a quarter of whom are young or very young children) deserve to be wiped out or, more euphemistically, “taught a lesson they will never forget“.
What makes their comments even more contemptible is that the said Jew-Zionists are sitting in comfort in places such as North-West London, or in other suburban enclaves. They cannot wait for the poor, repressed, and helpless population of Gaza to be killed or injured; they themselves are in no danger, yet they are now already pretending to be “victims” and/or “fearful” that they will somehow be subjected to a pogrom in the UK!
It seems to be an ingrained psychological disorder.

Israel's military issued an evacuation order to Palestinians in Gaza, in its strongest hint yet that it prepares to launch a ground offensive almost a week after Hamas's surprise assault.

Israel ordered the evacuation of more than a million civilians from the entire northern half of Gaza. The UN said the order would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences,” and Gazan officials told Palestinians not to comply.

“The Israeli-Palestinian conflict distracts the West from Ukraine – expert It was no coincidence that the Hamas attack on Israel occurred on Vladimir Putin’s birthday, German expert Thomas Jaeger said in an interview with N-TV.
According to him, Russia is benefiting greatly from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Moscow hopes that Western attention and, accordingly, military forces will now be redirected from Ukraine to the Middle East. As a result, support for Kyiv will weaken, and this, in turn, will open the way to victory for the Kremlin.
At the same time, the main events are now unfolding in the United States, where Congress cannot agree on a budget containing financial assistance for Ukraine. The results of this political chaos will predetermine the further development of events.”
YouGov Scottish Westminster Voting Intention:
SNP 33% (-5) Lab 32% (+5) C 20% (+4) LD 5% (-2) Green 5% (-1) Reform 2% (-2)
Fed into Electoral Calculus, the result of such a general election would be: Labour on 504 seats, Conservatives on 64 seats, LibDems on 27, SNP 32, Green 1 (plus a few Welsh and Northern Irish). Overall Labour majority of 358.
That would be a complete elected dictatorship, and one brought about not because voters really like Labour, but because the new multicoloured fake “Conservative” Party is not so much hated as despised (as useless). A Labour Party elected dictatorship by default.
The Conservative Party reduced to 64 seats. Existential peril?

“Rapists could be spared jail from next week as prisons reach breaking point, it was reported last night.
Sex offenders and burglars could be let out on bail rather than handed an immediate custodial sentence, according to guidance issued to judges.
The most dangerous criminals will reportedly have to be held in magistrates’ court cells if they are remanded in custody.
Prisons in England and Wales are on the brink of maximum capacity, with 88,016 inmates last Friday – leaving just 650 spaces spare.
The senior presiding judge for England and Wales, Lord Edis, ordered that sentencing hearings will have to be postponed from Monday, The Times reported.”
[Daily Mail].
There has been a sentencing crisis for years. While many crimes of drunken violence, acquisitive crime etc attract, quite often, non-custodial sentences, other crimes, often very minor, not only result in prison time but in very considerable time.
Look at the political realm. Harmless teenage fantasists who have downloaded online material such as the notorious Anarchist’s Cookbook (which was sold openly in London bookshops in the 1970s, and without the State imploding) have been sentenced to terms of 4, 5, even 7 years, incredibly. Anything (political or otherwise) involving illicit possession of a weapon (even a WW2 revolver) has attracted sentencing as severe, or more severe.
Likewise, there have been sentenced to prison people such as Alison Chabloz (sentenced to a number of months for posting “antisemitic” satirical songs and cartoons online), Jez Turner (a year, for having suggested in a brief speech in Whitehall that Jews should be driven out from England as they were under Edward I in the 14th Century), and “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch, sentenced to a very harsh 2.5 years for having posted “antisemitic” material on an internet radio station).
The alert reader will have noted the common factor in the immediately-above three Draconian sentences, but what do you expect when 10 Downing Street has the Israeli flag projected onto its facade? Or when Keir Starmer, posing as Labour Party leader, thinks that the Israeli ethnostate has every right to cut off water, food, and electricity (and everything else) from the 2 million inhabitants of Gaza.
As far as non-political crimes are concerned, one often sees newspaper reports these days about various types of criminal sentenced to, say, terms of 4, 5, or 6 years in prison, when a far shorter term of, say, a couple of years would really suffice. Likewise, people are sometimes —in fact, often— sentenced to a year or more in circumstances where, even retaining a custodial element, a few months would be more than enough.
At the present time, the crisis of available space would easily be solved if judges were to work out carefully, as they are supposed to do, the proper sentence in every case, but then, after all that, cut off a percentage, as an emergency administrative-judicial measure. Say 20%, so that a headline sentence of 5 years becomes one of 4 years, or one of 2.5 years becomes one of 2 years. That would scarcely impact anything other than space in prisons and, within a few months, would start to solve the present problem.
“Captain Sir Tom Moore‘s daughter has confessed to pocketing £800,000 from books written by the NHS fundraising war veteran.
In a tearful interview, Hannah Ingram-Moore revealed how the family received the money thanks to her father – whose lockdown walks raised £39million for the nation’s health service.
Mrs Ingram-Moore said her father wanted them to keep the profits from his three books: Captain Tom’s Life Lessons, One Hundred Steps and his autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day.
The family is also adamant that people buying the books were never told their money was going to charity.
However, the prologue of his autobiography calls this claim into question and suggests the veteran thought his books were just another way for him to raise cash.
The extract read: ‘Astonishingly at my age, with the offer to write this memoir I have also been given the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.’“

I was in the minority of sceptics when the old ex-officer (he spent 6 years in uniform during WW2) started his “crusade”. While arguably wrongheaded, one had to respect the grit of the old fellow, yet the whole thing played into the “scamdemic” propaganda of the time, and even the £30M raised probably did little to help the maladministered NHS.
I could see that the daughter and her husband were basically a pair of freeloaders, if not outright frauds, but people so badly (and rightly) want to believe. In something. In anything. You only have to look at the well-known online “grifters” and frauds around. “Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, “Man Behaving Dadly” etc. There are dozens, probably hundreds, of them. They destroy trust in society, as do some of the family of the late Captain Moore.

I think that I may start including a random historical note from Wikipedia etc in all my blog posts. It is quite shocking how few British people know their own history, even in outline.
[little boy and his dead cat, following Israeli air attack on Gaza]
Were the atrocities not so terrible, it would be funny to see the UK Jewish/Israel lobby all both pushing out (identical) Israeli propaganda and —at the same time— saying, when asked about the quasi-genocidal Israeli Gaza siege, and mass murder of Gazan civilians, “oh, no, that has nothing to do with us; we bear no responsibility” and “we are just opposed to antisemitism, the actions of Israel are nothing to do with our campaigning in the UK...”.
Etc.
Typical.
Incidentally, I have never seen political fraud and con-man Nigel Farage so pumped-up as when parroting the current Israeli propaganda line in the past few days.
“In the wake of the merciless assault by Hamas, Israel seems to be planning the same approach.
All the signs are that its government is preparing to retaliate on a massive scale, mobilising the country’s formidable armed forces against Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas.
Yet just as Iraq turned out to be a calamitous error, fuelling a lasting cycle of violence, so I fear that – however understandable – any attempt by Israel to exact its vengeance with a savage display of military might could be just as disastrous.”
“…a full invasion, such as Israel’s generals are surely discussing today, would be a bloody quagmire. For Jerusalem, it would mean a conveyor belt of tired soldiers fighting day and night, resupplying with food, water and military hardware, rotating and evacuating casualties, for months on end.
It would chew up thousands of troops for little or no benefit, and poison the Arab world, and to a certain extent the international community, against the Jewish state.
Alas, it looks like Israel is set to take precisely this route.
Already the country has launched a barrage of air strikes, causing heavy civilian casualties – unsurprising given that more than two million people are living in a strip the size of the Isle of Wight.” [in fact, smaller than the Isle of Wight— 141 sq. miles as against 148].
“This bombardment has been buttressed by a siege designed to weaken the morale of the citizenry by cutting off their water and electricity.
Yet what is the ultimate objective? What does ‘victory’ for Israel even look like?”
[Gaza City, already devastated by Israeli air attack]
It would be even more interesting were Israel to face attack or, even more so, invasion from the directions of Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and perhaps even (though even less likely) from Egypt, and if the Palestinian Arabs of the West Bank were also to join in the fight.
The immediately-above scenario is unlikely, true, but the Americans must have some reason to have moved one of their fleets closer to the region.
If such a concerted invasion and uprising were to happen, though, Israel could be destroyed, its population fleeing in panic.

I was in New York at the time, in 1990. Those lies (blown up hugely by the Jew-Zionist mass media) were quite effective in moulding the TV narratives and the political conversation etc.
Food, fuel, medicine and water have all been cut off into the Gaza Strip, while the land itself comes under heavy bombardment.
Water cut off, food cut off, electricity and gas cut off; all other supplies cut off, and area bombing and rocketing of civilian areas, in a “ghetto” occupied by 2 million inhabitants, 600,000 of whom live in Gaza City.
Of the 2 million Palestinian Arabs in the Gaza Strip, about 1 million are under-18, and most of that million are young children.
If there was ever a war crime amounting to at least quasi-genocide, this surely must be it.

Emily Thornberry, “human rights” lawyer (etc), who thinks it justifiable for Israel to cut off water and food (etc) from 2 million people, almost all of whom (about 96%) are non-combatants, half of whom are under-18, and hundreds of thousands of whom are young or very young children.
Douglas Murray says the celebration of the Hamas attacks shows there are "simple supporters of genocide” in the UK.
I used to wonder what Israeli Intelligence had on Murray to make him the unashamed propagandist for Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby that he is. Now, I tend to think that he is just deeply psychologically damaged.
As for Julia Hartley-Brewer, I think (am unsure) that she is part-Jewish. She is certainly rather ignorant; I had to correct her on a couple of legal points when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews managed to have me expelled in 2018). Instead of thanking me for schooling her, she tried to obfuscate, and then blocked me.
Murray is right with his “flare” metaphor, though. These events have shown what group really pulls the strings of our “democratic” political parties, and System politicians. With a tiny number of honourable exceptions, all puppets of Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby. From Sunak to Starmer, and from Emily Thornberry to that fraudulent bastard Nigel Farage.

In a new tactic, Israel is warning civilians to evacuate neighborhood after neighborhood, and then inflicting devastation, in what could be a prelude to a ground offensive.

[Israeli attack on Gaza]
If there were an invasion from the North (Lebanese/Syrian territory), that would place the Israeli army under great strain; even more so were Jordan to attack Jerusalem from the East. Neither is likely, though. So far, not even the West Bank Arabs have joined in, not in any substantial way.
For me, as observer, it seems that the importance of these events has been psychological and not military, as such.
The repressed Palestinian Arabs must now realize what may be possible, and the Israeli Jews must also realize what may one day happen (maybe not so far down the line). The Arabs must be feeling emboldened (despite the effectively genocidal Israeli siege and pounding of Gaza), but the Israeli Jews must be feeling fear that all their military might may, one day soon, not be enough to save them. Many must be keeping their second or third passports to hand, in case they decide to flee.
Obviously, from a strict military point of view, the Israeli Army, with its 2,000 or more tanks, and the Israeli Air Force, with hundreds of strike planes, fighters, attack helicopters, and now also drones, cannot be defeated by the poorly-equipped militia of the Palestinian factions. The Israeli Goliath looms over the Palestinian David.
That may, though, in the end, not be the whole picture.

In the meantime, “Sven” needs money while in prison, to make the time less unpleasant. Equally importantly, to help him get back on his feet after release: see https://www.givesendgo.com/SupportSven.

Of course, I was one of the first to realize what a useless lump of nothing “Boris” Johnson was/is. About 20 years ago. Everyone else, pretty much, was willing to swallow the line that “Boris” was brilliant, principled, strong, interesting, a Poundland Churchill for our times. The Jews liked him because he is part-Jew, the Muslims liked that he is part-Levantine, the petit bourgeois Daily Mail readers liked the fact that he had been to Eton and Oxford.
In fact, Johnson was only ever a “cosplay”, as people now say; an am-dram “Churchill”, or a matrioshka with nothing inside. A mainly faked “British upper class” persona, a persona with which the part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer was able to fool the plebs.
Of course, put to the test in political office, it all fell to pieces. He proved himself again and again a liar, unprincipled (and not even in an intelligent way), not any kind of “intellectual”, useless, incapable of either ideology or religion, disloyal, and without a real idea in his muddled head.
Johnson was also as weak as a kitten, incapable of being a Prime Minister.

The sick thing is that Labour, especially under Starmer, has so very little to offer the British people.
Labour only looks —sort-of— good, or —almost— acceptable to many because, in a more or less rigged binary system, it stands alongside the Conservative Party, which is now exposed as totally useless and pointless.
I do think that, after the last few years especially, the Conservative Party has probably reached the end of the road. That may result, once Starmer has really angered people, in the first real and sustained upsurge for social nationalism in my lifetime.

Currently, families in Gaza are without water, electricity and communication Two million people under siege without living conditions pic.twitter.com/gnjI1JhAzL
I notice that the usual well-paid “human rights” lawyers in the UK (mostly Jews) are very quiet about Israel subjecting 2 million people in Gaza to life without water, food, electricity or communications. This, unless stopped right now, is actual genocide, imposed by Jews on non-Jews.

America must attack Iran if Hezbollah attacks Israel – 19FortyFive
According to geopolitical analyst Brandon Weichert, Israel will not stand up to Hamas and Hezbollah, so the United States will join the war in the Middle East to “protect its interests in the region.”
“Gaza has constant power cuts, dismal public services, dirty water and a crushing lack of jobs.
Most of its energy comes from Israel – but even the small contributions from Gaza’s single power plant, like all private generators, rely on imported diesel.
Much of the struggling health services depend on the United Nations and charities. Patients in need of more serious treatment require permission from Palestinian and Israeli officials to travel outside the Strip, which is ringed with 20ft fences, motion sensors, radar and cameras.
But the most critical shortage here is of hope. This is one of the world’s most densely populated places and has one of the youngest populations – yet more than two-thirds of young adults are unemployed, while eight in ten residents rely on external aid.
Although tens of thousands of Palestinians used to leave Gaza to work in Israel, the border was sealed after the Hamas takeover, so an entire generation has grown up never able to leave the Strip and never having met an Israeli.
This all makes it fertile ground for Hamas to find ‘martyrs’ for its twisted cause, especially amid the trauma of living under frequent attack and bombardment.
It is little wonder that past polls have found half of Gazans want to leave this blighted place – and no surprise that it was the source of the latest explosion of hatred to stain this turbulent region.“
[Daily Mail].
A 2018 account from Conservative Party-supporting journalist Ian Birrell (he wrote some speeches for David Cameron-Levita c.2012), but interesting, and worth reading the full version.
Gaza has been called “an open prison” but it is is probably more accurate to call it a large-scale guarded ghetto. In fact, to me it resembles from a distance— I have never been there, nor (obviously) Israel— the Warsaw Ghetto of the early 1940s: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto.
That Wikipedia account has been subject to the (((usual))) bias, but gives the overall background.
The state of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service! Read that Daily Mail report.
All commonsense seems to have fled from both police and CPS. Real crime goes unpunished or not even investigated, while the police wet themselves over trivial incidents and/or people posting “wrong” thoughts online.
Of course, casualties in Gaza will be given less prominence than those in Israel, because the Western mass media is —mostly— controlled, or at least heavily influenced, by Jew-Zionists.

Israeli war Minister Yoav Gallant says he will deliberately starve to death 2 millions in Gaza.
"I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly."
If you said half or a tenth as much about Jews, the msm “claque” would be screaming and (in the UK) the “poundland KGB” police would probably be making a nuisance of themselves…
Israel possesses the most accurate and precise technology in the world, and every Palestinian civilian and non-combatant killed is an intentional targeted kill.

I caught a few minutes of Kay Burley on Sky News this morning. Complete pro-Israel bias. Not surprising. After all, the job pays well, and enough to dine at the Chiltern Firehouse, with bottles of wine at £400 apiece.
To be fair to Kay Burley, she did apparently put ludicrous “Foreign Secretary” James Cleverly on the spot, also today:
Kay: What support does the British Govt offer to the people of Gaza?
Foreign Sec @JamesCleverly : We are trying to minimise the risk of escalation.
Having someone like Cleverly as Foreign Secretary is just embarrassing.

The events in Israel/Palestine have resulted in an outpouring of System virtue-signalling.
Sunak, Starmer, and many others all falling over each other to pledge allegiance to Israel. Political con-man, and “controlled opposition” kingpin Nigel Farage, too. In a way, it is a good thing that those who are under that control have identified themselves.
On a different note, I wonder whether the “answer” to the otherwise intractable Gaza problem might be to establish a programme whereby Gazans can relocate to new towns across the Middle East, with co-operation of governments within the region. Instead of one very crowded city of 2 million inhabitants, 19-20 towns, each with 100,000 inhabitants. Gaza itself to be reduced to 100,000, or perhaps to be returned to sparsely-populated farmland.
The above “solution” might be acceptable both to the Gazans themselves (giving them greater freedom and better living conditions) and to the Israeli government (reducing the “security threat” to near-zero), if it could be organized.

“An emboldened Iran will extend the export of its missile and drone technology, which is already playing an important role for Russia in its campaign against Ukraine.
Indeed Moscow, though it has had good relations with Israel, has much to gain from a new Middle Eastern conflict.
The U.S. is likely to feel pressure to strengthen Israel’s defences against Hamas rockets with weapons like the highly effective Patriot surface-to-air anti-missile system.
America does not have a big stockpile of these Patriots, and Israel will receive priority, meaning there will be far fewer for President Zelensky’s government.“

Since then, the link to the Ukrainian “online” has disappeared from the European version of the publication’s main page and has not appeared on it again.

Ha.
Late thought
The stories coming out of Gaza and Southern Israel are more than merely unpleasant; terrible. As far as the Palestinian combatants are concerned, if they are sometimes monstrous, it is because they have been made monstrous, and made so mainly by the behaviour of the Israeli Jews.
Tamworth constituency has a fairly ancient history (on various different boundaries and names), going back to the 13th Century. Its most famous MP was Sir Robert Peel, who represented the town from 1830-1850 (he was MP for three other places from 1809-1830), and who was Prime Minister 1834-1835 and 1841-1846: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Peel.
The most recent MP, the appropriately-named Chris Pincher, was rather less distinguished, having been finally forced to resign in 2023 after several years of having been accused, then eventually adjudged guilty, of having sexually molested men, including MPs, in bars.
Looking at his Wikipedia entry, it seems that Pincher only became an MP in 2010, at age 41, and had done nothing very interesting prior to that (though Wikipedia is not infallible). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Pincher.
Tamworth, on its present boundaries, was held by Labour from 1997 (when the present seat was brought into being) until 2010; Pincher failed to secure the seat in 2005, but took it in 2010 with a vote-share of 45.8%. Thereafter, his percentage vote increased at every election, peaking in 2019 at 66.3%.
At that 2019 election, Labour Co-op came in second, but poorly, on 23.7%. The other 4 candidates were very much also-rans, only the LibDems retaining their deposit (with 5.3%).
The by-election will be held on 19 October 2023, and has attracted 9 candidates: Conservative, Labour, LibDem, Green, UKIP, Reform (the latest Farage vehicle), Britain First, Monster Raving Loony, and an independent. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-66864806 for candidates’ details.
The Government is obviously deeply unpopular, and also seen as useless. However, Labour is not much liked either. There may be protest vote possibilities, but the main object may be to send a message to the Government, and I suppose that a vote for Labour is most likely to cause the Government pain, if it results in the by-election ending with a Labour win.
Hard for me to call. I have only once even driven through the town, and that was long ago. Not an area I know. Overall, it seems to me that the LibDems are too marginal here to have much chance, so it is between Con and Lab. To elect the Labour candidate would require a huge swing, but I think that it must be possible, as public feeling now stands.
If Labour can pull it off at Tamworth, the 2024 General Election will look sealed. The over-used word “seismic” comes to mind.
So we turn to Mid-Bedfordshire.
Nadine Dorries had to be almost forced out of the seat she had held since 2005, and which had provided her with a good income; both salary and very inflated expenses. She was lucky to have avoided prosecution. A very stupid, entirely uneducated, but withal cunning woman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Dorries.
The by-election, to be held on 19 October 2023, the same day as that at Tamworth, has attracted no less than 13 candidates, mostly minor or crank.
Nadine Dorries scored 59.8% at the 2019 General Election (Labour 21.7%, LibDems 12.6%).
Mid-Bedfordshire has been a Conservative Party seat since the 1920s.
This would normally be a shoo-in for the Conservative Party candidate, but several factors make that less than likely. Anger at the freeloading and fraudulent behaviour of Nadine Dorries. The general anger at the present Government. Perhaps also the fact that the Con candidate is a careerist black: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festus_Akinbusoye.
The Conservative Party candidate is presently Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire, only came to the UK at 13 from his native Nigeria, and is a Mormon.
The opinion polls have Con and Lab neck and neck, with the LibDems not far behind. Tactical voting may play the decisive role, but does that mean anti-Con voters voting Labour, or voting LibDem?
Reform, the Farage vehicle, is polling around 7%, as is county council chairman Gareth Mackey, standing as Independent.
Very hard to call, but Labour may just have the edge.
I suppose that the other point is that Sunak may be pressured to stand down as Con Party leader if one contest is lost (or only if both are lost?).
[Update, 22 January 2024: in the end, Labour won both by-elections.

Whatever may be said of Labour or Angela Rayner, that tweet is surely correct. The 2024 General Election is Labour’s to lose. The Conservative Party is just dissolving. I notice that evil sociopath Chris Grayling is now not going to stand for re-election.

The SNP crashed from 44.2% in 2019 to 27.5%. To what extent that reflects hostility to the former MP, to the “nationalist” SNP having a Pakistani leader, to the Sturgeon scandal, and/or to the SNP’s failing record in government, is hard to say. Whether the result also reflects disenchantment with the idea of breaking away from the UK is also hard to say. Maybe a mixture of all of the foregoing.
For me, the fall in Conservative Party support from 15% to 3.9% is significant. The previous lowest point had been in 2005 (8.4%). A straw in the wind re. the 2024 General Election. At present, it looks as if only the safest Conservative seats (in England) will be held next year.
Turnout was only 37.2%, scarcely more than half of that in 2019. People are aware that the electoral system is just a rigged con-trick most of the time.
