No wonder few if any Ukrainians want to be forced into service in the Kiev-regime army. To be posted to the crumbling front lines is almost a death sentence.
If only… No April Fool is more absurd than Starmer-stein’s fail of a government.
As blogged previously, only voting for Reform at that by-election will defeat Labour. The “Conservative” fag-end of a party has no chance, and scored only 16% (3rd place) at the 2024 General Election.
Reform can smash this, if people (whatever their preferences) prioritize their wish to defeat fake Labour, Starmer-stein Labour, over everything else.
Had Matt Goodwin been the Reform candidate at the by-election, he would have been a shoo-in. This lady, I don’t know, but if Runcorn voters vote Labour, they must be total dummies. I still think that Reform will walk it, but that is my guess or educated guess. We shall see.
[“A Deliveroo driver named Muhammad Faizan Khan assaulted a pregnant woman at her home in Scotland, who later suffered a miscarriage. Khan “rented” a Deliveroo account from another driver. He got … just 12 months in prison. Unbelievable. What are @Deliveroo & @Keir_Starmer doing to clamp down on how food apps are used by crime gangs to support the black economy?“]
Nothing.
We know that such an individual should be put up against the wall, but we also know that, at present, under this system and in this society, that is not going to happen. In 10 years’ time, who knows?

Ha. Been there. Done that. Got the [record/honour (delete as appropriate)]…
See below:
Well, according to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that translates to a Commons with 191 Lab MPs, 171 Reform, 154 Con, 67 LibDem (SNP 3 etc). Truly a hung Parliament. Any Labour minority government would need either Con or Reform support to govern, and that would be unlikely (unless Reform were to extract a Proportional Representation law as the price of passage). As for Reform, even with Con support it would still be 1 seat short of a formal majority.
Combining that with the fact that, in another YouGov poll, 52% of UK people see the economy as the number one issue (the second being immigration—44%), it bodes badly for Labour at the Runcorn and Helsby by-election.
Ah. In that YouGov priorities poll (see above), health was in third place, on 35% (economy 52%, immigration 44%). By-election upcoming, and here comes Reform.
Too long-drawn-out, and too lenient.
Looks though someone at MI5 has a sense of humour.

The question bamboozles the naive respondents. It assumes that the definitions of the alleged crime(s) are correct, and that the court deciding the question of conviction is not itself political or politicized, or politically-influenced. The poll is therefore meaningless and, in fact, dishonest.
[“What the Marine Le Pen case reflects is how the elite class is now trying to push us into ‘post-democracy’— a new era in which power, influence and legitimacy are taken out of the hands of the people and put into the hands of a small, unelected, unaccountable elite.
This new elite —which spans the political, media, legal, and creative class— not only decides what values and voices are permissible and socially acceptable but is now, visibly, reshaping the parameters of our political systems so that its ongoing and extreme ideological project —radical liberal progressivism enforced through a technocratic managerial class—cannot be disrupted, opposed or diluted in any meaningful way.
As the likes of Christopher Lasch predicted more than thirty years ago, the next major revolt that would reshape the West would not be one that sees the masses rising up against the elites but the elites rising up against the masses.
This is what we are now witnessing across the West, through the rise, spread and enforcement of things like the ‘censorship industrial complex’, hate laws, concept creep, the removal of anti-establishment candidates from the democratic realm, and the use of social norms and taboos to continually discredit conservative, populist, and gender critical views that are entirely legitimate but which the elite class consider unacceptable and so work to stigmatise if not shut down.
In this way, in post-democracy, our once representative political systems, the public square, our institutions, our civic culture are all hollowed out so that they only ever serve and reinforce the values and voice of an elite minority, rather than the forgotten majority.
Ordinary citizens, in this way, are not only stripped of their democratic power but are also forced to live with the dire effects of this project, including mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, radical Islamism, sectarianism, and more.
This is what is now unfolding across much of the West. This is what millions of ordinary, taxpaying, hardworking, patriotic people can now see and feel. This is what millions of people are fighting against”.]
[Matt Goodwin]
One conclusion must be that this evil tendency cannot be fought against, let alone defeated, by “peaceful means” alone…
