Talking point

Life is complex.

There are very many systems of numerology. Under one of the simplest (applicable to Latin-alphabet languages), A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=1, K=2, L=3, M=4, N=5, O=6, P=7, Q=8, R=9, S=1, T=2, U=3, V=4, W= 5, X=6, Y=7, Z=9.


Under that system, Ian Robert Millard would be:

Ian 9+1+5 = 15. Then 1+5 = 6.

Robert 9+6+2+5+9+2 = 33. Then 3+3 = 6.

Millard 4+9+3+3+1+9+4 = 33. Then 3+3 = 6.

So Ian Robert Millard = 666.

Life is not that simple, though. I am not “the Beast” or, indeed, the ruler of the world but, like Parzival/Parsifal, a human soul hopefully “slowly wise“, and living the quietest and most peaceful and obscure of lives, at least most of the time.

Something has to be done to reverse this situation.

I have blogged previously, several times, about the Gorton and Denton by-election. From (obviously) a considerable distance, I see it as being very close among Reform/Greens/Labour, but I just cannot see who would vote Labour now, in that seat or elsewhere.

Having said that, the one-third of eligible voters in the by-election who are Pakistani Muslims are hard to fathom. Many cannot even speak English, and their educational level is probably rock-bottom. Who knows what their motivations might be? Labour is said to have an effective electoral machine up there (though journalists say that little has been seen of Labour canvassers etc).

I can see the dilemma of the Muslim voters, perhaps unwilling to vote Labour because it is a Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment, also unwilling (perhaps) to vote Green because Green policies include the decriminalization of both drugs (all drugs) and pornography (all pornography?), yet unwilling to vote for the (supposedly) anti-migration-invasion Reform UK.

The Muslims would probably have voted for George Galloway or his candidate, but he has endorsed the Green Party candidate, thus greatly boosting the Greens’ chances.

I should imagine that most white English/British voters in the seat will be voting Reform; we shall see. To vote any other way would be turkeys voting for Christmas.

My own feeling is that Matt Goodwin, for Reform, could still do this, but it may run very close.

Reform’s weakness has always been its finance-capitalist and also its pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby orientation. Farage welcoming deadheads, freeloaders, and/or non-Brits such as Nadine Dorries, Nadhim Zahawi etc has weakened the Reform “brand”, no question. Matt Goodwin himself has openly criticized that, and Farage has (retaliation?) gone to the Chagos Islands (well, offshore there) instead of slogging it out on the by-election front-lines with Goodwin. Not impressive.

Were Reform more social-national, even it it fell far short of my policy positions, it would be on 50% in the opinion polls, not between 24% and 28%.

That poll shows not only Con and Lab, but also the Greens and LibDems almost on the same level: 18%, 18%, 17%, and 14%. Reform still leading the pack, though not convincingly.

Of course, a victory for Reform in the by-election would certainly give them a national boost.

Incidentally, that latest poll would indicate a Commons with about 291 Reform MPs (some distance short of a majority), Greens 80 (official, albeit very weak, Opposition!), Cons 79, LibDems 74, Labour 53, SNP 45 [etc].

[“Exclusive: Two of the key documents held by the government on Lord Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador will not be made public until after the police investigation and any criminal trial has concluded It means it will be months or even possibly years before they see the light of day That includes the Cabinet Office due diligence report given to Keir Starmer prior to Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador It details public evidence about their friendship – the fact Mandelson stayed at Epstein’s New York apartment while he was in jail for sex offences, the JP Morgan report saying the two men had a ‘particularly close’ relationship It will raise significant questions about Starmer’s judgment The three questions Starmer put to Mandelson and his responses will also be withheld. Starmer told the Commons that these provide evidence that Mandelson misled him Both documents are being withheld because of concerns that they could prejudice a potential criminal trial https://thetimes.com/article/c6744244-115c-476f-9947-67906972dc3f?shareToken=d8471688d85cfe016cea8b434f7029d32]

Starmer-stein and those behind him (Israel lobby, Jewish lobby, MOSSAD, the Trilateral Commission, NWO/ZOG etc) are desperate not to have exposed the conspiracy that has embedded itself in Labour— and in the UK as a whole.

There is still all to play for in the by-election.

My thoughts exactly. About 30 stooges in the hired function room of some hotel (look at the chandelier), holding up placards in order to make a photo for social media and the newspapers.

If the reports are accurate, then we may not be far from nuclear war. Were that to happen, both Britain and France, as we know them, will cease to exist.

The UK must stop backing the brutal, corrupt, and shambolic Kiev regime, which is living on borrowed time and “borrowed” money.

Afternoon music

[Wanda Landowska, celebrated harpsichordist, with Tolstoy, either at his Kropotkinskaya (Moscow) townhouse (which I myself have visited), or (more likely) at his family estate at Yasnaya Polyana, where she went on several occasions, travelling with her own harpsichord. Exact date of photo uncertain, but certainly in 1907, when Wanda Landowska made a concert tour of Russia; three years before the death of Tolstoy in 1910. The lives of Tolstoy and Landowska spanned much of the 19th and 20th centuries, Tolstoy having been born in 1828, and Landowska having died in 1959]

Just imagine: in 1910, a mere three years after that photo was taken in 1907, Tolstoy was dead and, four years after that, in 1914, the disaster of the First World War started, followed three years later by the even more disastrous Bolshevik seizure of power in late 1917.

[“After spending the night in hospital with my daughter, who is very unwell but not life threatening, I don’t want to hear another word about how great the nhs is. The nurses have not looked after her at all. Loud unnecessary conversations throughout the night, lazy can’t be arsed attitudes, no explanation of what’s happening, at all, no desire to offer reassurance or comfort, not one question about whether she wants to sit up or lie down. We are being made to feel like everything is too much and we should be grateful for less than the absolute minimum. She asked for more pain killers, as it’s been six hours. “We will come at six, as it must be six hours unless you’re in pain” (it can actually be four) we explained the doctor says to make it regular, she’s also had morphine and that she is in a lot of pain. “If you dont wait until six the next lot will be hours and hours and hours” I ask what time the last lot was as we think it’s been a really long time. “11:13, so she can wait until six, unless she’s in pain” I say that that’s six hours ago. “Yes so at six we will come round” I have to say “no, at six it’ll be nearly seven hours, she’s in pain now, please can you go and get the pain relief now” She goes. When she returns, rather than coming round to the side of her bed to give a patient medicine, on a drip, she leans from the bottom of the bed and motions for my daughter to get up and take it from her. I have to remind the nurse that she’s in hospital because she’s unwell and in agony. “Oh I didn’t know, I’m new to this ward” this ward is uneventful, nothing is happening. She must have read my daughter’s chart to give her the tablets. What sort of nurse gives tablets from the bottom of a bed?!?! Imagine I wasn’t here? How many patients would have felt despite the pain they should take it from her? Imagine my daughter was a frail or vulnerable patient? The entire experience has been god awful. The hospital is very empty, with wards full lit with no patients in them. It’s utterly utterly shit.”]

All too typical. While the picture overall is not unmixed, and while NHS care is sometimes good, it really is time that the British stopped regarding the NHS as some sort of world-beating service and quasi-religious object of devotion, and started to look at the NHS objectively, as a necessary first step to fixing the array of problems within it. That of course cannot be done so long as the UK is being invaded by a million “migrants” (migrant-invaders) every single year.

[“This ended up being sepsis. My daughter was seriously unwell with a CRP of 268, apparently this is similar to levels after having major surgery. She has been having other investigations since. One thing her consultant said was that if she had any flu symptoms she must get a blood test. Yesterday I went with her to the GP because she has flu symptoms. The paramedic was miffed and didn’t think it was necessary. I mean, he too had had sepsis and he didn’t need a blood test. I know had I not been there my daughter would have left without the test. The results came back and she’s got a crp of over 70, which means infection, inflammation or sepsis. I’m so irritated that unless you’re bolshy the NHS ignores you.”]

The NHS situation is merely one symptom of a society which has been gradually but increasingly visibly declining since, arguably, around 1989 but, also arguably, from earlier dates.

The System political parties and many of the UK’s administrators are engaged in a quite conscious conspiracy sometimes called “the management of decline“, a phrase I think first used by Anthony Sampson in 1962, in his once-influential book, Anatomy of Britain, and its sequels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_Britain.

Of course, the invasion-by-immigration scarcely existed in 1962, despite what is claimed in the fake history now pushed down the throats of both schoolchildren and the general public. That migration-invasion (a term invented and first used by me about 15+ years ago but now in general use) has greatly accelerated the (post-1989?) process of decline and, indeed, degeneration.

Exactly. “Every single time”

All those involved with that ad, and all similar propaganda, whether in Denmark, UK, or elsewhere, should be, at the least, sent to labour camps.

At this point, European society has to protect itself, and protect its future.

Of course, France (i.e. the Macron bad-joke regime, influenced by the pervasive Jewish/Israel lobby), some years ago banned satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz from France for 40 years because of her lampooning of “holocaust” fakes and fraudsters.

Ursula von der Leyen is an evil little sprite. In a better world, she and those akin to her would not exist.

Good grief! Too corrupt even for the Kiev regime!…

Witkoff…Kushner…join the dots…

You never hear in the UK/US msm anything about the decade or more of Kiev-regime attacks on civilians in Russia and the now-occupied areas of Ukraine such as the Donetsk region.

Neither side should be directly targeting civilians.

The YouGov poll, yesterday, put Reform on only 24%. This More in Common poll is more in line with literally hundreds of previous polls, so perhaps more accurate.

Translates to a Commons with Reform having about 384 MPs (very solid overall majority), Labour 80 (official Opposition but very weak, having lost 332 MPs…), LibDems 51, SNP 43, and Cons 43 (meaning that they would have lost 78 MPs) [etc].

Among the 332 Labour MPs likely to be binned— Angela Rayner, Dan Jarvis, Shabana Mahmood, Jess Phillips (at last!), Christian Wakeford, Mary Creagh, Ed Miliband, Mike Tapp, Luke Akehurst, Stephen Timms, Wes Streeting, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall (it just gets better!), Yvette Cooper (yay!), Anna Turley, Kim Leadbeater, Gareth Snell, Torsten Bell, Heidi Alexander, Lisa Nandy, Emma Reynolds etc.

Among the likely-to-be-binned 78 Con Party MPs— James Cleverly, Mel Stride, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick, Desmond Swayne (my own local MP: I do not disagree with some of his views but, looking at him as a constituency MP, I have heard several tales of his laziness and uselessness); Rishi Sunak, Nick Timothy (good riddance! An abject puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby); Tom Tugendhat (part-Jew Israel lobby puppet, so good riddance); Alec Shelbrooke (mediocre complete puppet of the UK Jewish lobby and Israel lobby); Danny Kruger, Priti Patel (one more Israeli agent sacked) [etc].

It will be noted that among the likely survivors would be both Starmer-stein and Kemi Badenoch.

Removed from office or just removed. Same goes for all the members of this Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment.

Give someone such as Starmer-stein (a mediocre System lawyer) political power, and this is what happens— a regime of petty tyranny, with neither integrity nor decency, nor even any resilience.

The slow advance of Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine continues.

Quite.
“They” always say they want or need a secure base (in Palestine/Israel), but most of “them” seem to want to deny the same to us.

Surely a priority target for the enemies of Israel.

I have to admit, though, that the Israelis tend to be better at laying out their towns than the Arabs (or, these days, even the British…)

[Herzl Boulevard, Dimona, Israel]

Unless Reform implodes in the next 3 years, or unless the opinion polls have all been mistaken over the past 18 months, most of the MPs now proudly and lucratively polluting the Palace of Westminster are not going to be there after 2029, at latest.

UK rather similar…money thrown at the Kiev regime while there is so much need in our own country.

[“A message to Wes Streeting. Mary is 79 – she has dedicated her whole life to the NHS and caring for others since she began her nurse training at 16 years old. She has been waiting for EMERGENCY back surgery for 9 months after 3 years of horrendous pain. She’s now completely immobile. Her family are desperate. She’s desperate. She’s in agony. Luton and Dunstable NHS trust have DISCHARGED her because “The waiting list is too long” and there are others in front of her who are in “more desperate need” – she is practically paralysed and cannot care for herself! They’ve sent her HOME on Morphine as they have NO beds. Her daughter who has 3 young children sobbed on the phone last night – “we have been forgotten and there is no help whatsoever” she said. Over 40% of the population of Luton were NOT BORN in the UK and it hosts 13% of the asylum population of England yet Mary who has contributed taxes to the UK treasury for over 60 years is behind these people on NHS waiting lists! It’s WRONG. It’s UNACCEPTABLE and it’s totally UNFAIR! Why are we allowing our elderly to be treated like this? Its immoral and its an absolute disgrace! @rach_hopkins Labour MP for Luton. @wesstreeting this is on you – I have written to the Trust CEO Mr David Carter – between you all I suggest you put this BRITISH NURSES medical emergency before that of foreign nationals or her family will be forced to seek legal advice for gross misconduct and negligence. We MUST demand the safety, wellbeing and care of the most vulnerable in our society. **Repost if this is something you feel as enraged about as I do**!! @UKLabour“]
