Amazing clips of film.

Woolwich Crown Court is high-security. Prisoners are brought to court via an underground tunnel from the nearby Belmarsh Prison. I once had a friend at the Bar who, in the 1990s, did quite a lot of “heavy” crime there, crimes such as security-van jobs and the like.

Craig Murray was H.M. Ambassador to Uzbekistan at one time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Murray, and is now rather dissident.

As previously blogged, the Ukrainian Ambassador whom I accompanied sometime around 1995 to the UK’s biological warfare (etc) centre at Porton Down, Wiltshire, is now the director of a bio-lab in Ukraine: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko.

If any reader wants more information on that, use the blog search box.

Well said. Political leadership is not the same as being an Army or Royal Marines officer (you cannot simply command people and events, and decisions have to be more nuanced). As the tweeter says, neither is political leadership similar to being a senior legal figure such as the DPP (you cannot simply lay down rules and regulations and/or threaten to use “the full force of the law” when people do not agree).

Come to that, political leadership is also unalike to being a top-level businessman, as Trump is proving to the world. Not everyone wants to “make a deal“. Some people will not “make a deal” under any circumstances, because they or their group, clan, or people are motivated not by a quantifiable outcome such as profit and loss, but by ideology, or religion, or even a wish for “death or (and/or) glory”. Such people often do not much care if they themselves end up worse off (objectively) without a so-called “deal”.

Talking point

People, years ago, thought that Starmer-stein would be a Prime Minister fairly dull but at least intelligent, reliable, respectful of the idea of “a society under law”, and not likely to go off the rails in any serious way.

Well…people got the dull Prime Minister, but they also got a power-mad former bureaucrat willing to have protesters imprisoned for years for doing such petty crimes or non-crimes such as posting “inflammatory” tweets that few read and by which none were “incited”; same goes for idiotic young or not-young men willing to throw a few plastic wheelie bins towards a line of riot police.

The British people got, not a dull but reliable (and ethical) Prime Minister, but a petty tyrant forcing the entire nation to give large amounts of personal information to Israeli and other companies before being “allowed” to post on, or even use and/or read, Twitter/X, Facebook, YouTube etc.

They also got a Prime Minister willing to light Jewish-supremacist candlesticks in the windows of 10, Downing Street and in Trafalgar Square, and one willing to throw away enormous amounts of money “supporting” the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev, while British people struggle without help.

The British people also got a crazed Prime Minister presiding over a migration invasion of enormous proportions, one which he has no plan to stop, and no intention of stopping.

[“Head of the armed forces Sir Richard Knighton today: “We will have to dial back our activities and our exercise and operational activity if the level of resource funding that is available to us does not increase.”

Speaking at the G7 today, Keir Starmer made clear there will be no more money forthcoming.

John Healey’s resignation speech in the Commons later should be box office.”]

Ah, yes…I remember that Knighton person “cosplaying” in camouflage gear in Kiev a year or so ago [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Knighton].

In reality, any money spent on “defence” at present is money totally wasted. There is no threat from Russia or anywhere else to the UK, not in terms of ordinary warfare. The threats are all from the migration invasion or are from within the society— the demographic changes, the exploitative finance-capitalism tearing society apart, and the collapsing fake “democratic” political system.

Britain should not be getting involved in Ukraine, the Middle East, or the Indian Ocean. It is pathetic, anyway, now that our Empire is long-gone, given away by the LabCon traitors now all too ready to wave the flag around to “support” the thuggish and corrupt regime Ukraine, or the appalling Israeli state.

Indicates low enthusiasm for all existing parties. Translates to a Commons with about 284 Reform UK MPs (about 42 short of an overall majority), 93 Cons (weak official Opposition unless they make common cause with Reform, either coalition or other arrangement); Greens 68, LibDems 68, Lab 62, SNP 45 [etc].

That would probably be good for social nationalism. A Reform or Reform/Con government would be a disaster but, as Lenin said “worse will be better“…

Once again, as in all polling for a long time, Starmer would lose his seat on those figures, as would any Labour MP in Makerfield (probably including Burnham, if he wins the upcoming by-election).

Very true, but that is where the vast bulk of the population is.

There may be oblique or indirect ways for people, whether as groups or as individuals (“lone wolves”), to sabotage and rebel.

Again, very true, but “prepping” in the UK is not the same, nor can it be, as prepping in the USA, Canada, Russia etc.

Leaving aside the schools issue, one thing is clear: Labourite drone and careerist Bridget Phillipson knows little or no history, despite her mixed history/languages degree from Oxford.

The Gestapo did not march “hundreds of thousands” (of any types) anywhere. I presume that the idiotic woman is confusing or conflating the Gestapo with the S.S.

The Gestapo was a quite small organization, largely made up of former detectives from the Kripo (criminal police). Its job was to track down spies and saboteurs etc, which it did mainly by sifting through denunciations sent in by citizens.

In fact, 95% of the work of the Gestapo was to examine, then dismiss denunciations made by people either mistakenly or maliciously. There were usually only a few Gestapo officers in even quite sizeable towns.

The Gestapo operated almost invariably in civilian clothes, and did not march columns of prisoners anywhere.

Disappointing but certainly not surprising, these days, to find such ignorance in a woman who not only read History (period studied not known to me), but also is now Secretary of State for Education…

Incidentally, the only non-political jobs that woman ever had prior to getting in on the old MP racket were 2 years as an office worker at her local council, then for about 2 years as manager of a charity founded by her own mother: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_Phillipson.

Another small settlement (500 inhabitants before the war, and now probably few, certainly not more than 100).

Russia needs a gamechanger. Urgently.

[“Starmer’s turning the UK into an authoritarian dictatorship, where people are too scared to speak out

Its planned social media ban is being sold as child protection. Look closer and it affects every adult too.

To keep under-16s off X, TikTok, YouTube and the rest, everyone has to prove they’re over 16. That means tying your ID to your accounts.

We’ve seen where this leads.

Under the existing Online Safety Act, sites like Imgur and several adult platforms simply blocked all UK users rather than handle the verification.

Civil liberties groups like the Open Rights Group are already warning about who holds that data and how it’s protected.

Set that against a country with a track record of arresting people over online posts, and the worry writes itself.

When your name is attached to everything you say, you start watching what you say.

It’s the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook, the same instinct that kept people quiet under every communist regime of the last century.

Starmer calls it protecting children. Funny how the protection always seems to involve knowing exactly who said what.

And the people who do speak out and stand up, like Tommy Robinson? He was arrested under the Terrorism Act so police could seize his devices and see who he’s been communicating with.

The UK is slipping into tyranny, and the voices that can speak out will soon be silenced.“]

You have to bear in mind, also, that those tested were tested after having been prisoners for some time, on restricted diets and, in some cases (Streicher, in particular) subject to ill-treatment amounting to torture at the hands of Jews in American uniform.

I was tested in the 1980s at 156 or 155 (I forget, but think the former), but of course that was about 40 years ago. In any case, IQ is only one factor of importance. “EQ” is also very significant in terms of how the individual functions in society, for example.

Not as straightforward as often thought. Marilyn Monroe was (apparently) on or above the IQ level of Einstein. In the old phrase, “it makes one think“…

“Antifascist”/”antiracist” idiots usually do try the old “racists are knuckledraggers” (etc) line; a couple even tried to characterize me that way on Twitter, many years ago. Not worth discussing; certainly, there is no need for anyone on “our” side of the “argument” to self-validate or self-justify.

Get them out or get them gone. Whatever it takes.

There are several ethno-cultural “communities” in the UK that should be removed (and read that however you like), not just one.

Interesting point, and probably correct.

Like a box of Soviet chocolates: different shapes externally, but all with the same filling.

Those people (and those behind them) would have us at war, and entirely unnecessarily, and hugely devastatingly, with Russia. Healey even mentioned it in that speech (“…war with Russia within 5 years“…).

Russia has 6,000-7,000 nuclear weapons of various types, including massive missiles, some of which cannot be intercepted en route. Do those willing to fight Russia (and why? To support the corrupt, shambolic, and brutal Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev?) really want to risk these islands becoming a charred and radioactive wasteland?

No thank you.

Britain should leave NATO, cultivate better relations with Russia, take Russian oil and gas at cost price (I think that easily achievable in the right circumstances) and, in Russia, find a ready and huge market for British goods and services, including our people’s great overall skill-set.

Carns may well climb higher. Exceptional. However, from what I have seen and heard so far, possibly (and, in view of his support for Jo Cox and her activity, probably) ideologically unsound.

I am all in favour of the UK being, in Carns’ own words, “able to defend itself“, but that must be distinguished from fomenting entirely unnecessary wars which are likely to entirely destroy this country and its people.

I can see Carns being appealing to many voters, though.

Carns’ speech is wrong in its characterization of the Attlee government of the mid/late 1940s. That excellent historian, Correlli Barnett [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett] made the point in his several books that the UK tried to do three things after 1945 (retain a global military presence, re-tool British industry and commerce, establish or improve the Welfare State), but only had the wherewithal to do two of those properly, and thus did all three but inadequately.

Having said that, Carns made a pretty good speech there, objectively.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Carns

I have seen, however, from Carns’ tweets and interviews on domestic matters, that he is very weak in areas outside his core comfort-zone of defence etc.

I am generally opposed to the death penalty, but there are exceptions. This is one such exception.

Only social nationalism can save this country now.

At the end of the day, Andy Burnham is really just another Labourite drone, with little or really nothing new to say, let alone do.

What a nice idea.

Israel, as a state, as a society, is no worse than most of the Arab/Muslim states in the region, in overall terms —indeed, in some respects better— but is the hub of worldwide Jewish power and influence. That is why I oppose it.

[“Iran has managed to survive the attacks and even bring Washington to its knees, writes the Ynet portal.

Iran withstood serious attacks and, relying on its remaining strength, managed to bring the United States to its knees,” the portal states.

“The problem lies with the United States. They have shown their weakness: their word is no longer their word, their power is no longer power, and their blockade is no longer a blockade.”

“These were supposed to be the best days of the United States as a world power,” but “the grand names of operations against Iran – the American ‘Epic Rage’ and the Israeli ‘Roaring Lion’ – have been shattered to pieces,” it adds.

According to Ynet, Israel has not seen such a consensus in society for a long time, between the left and the far right, that the American-Iranian agreement, expected to be signed on June 19, is a “strategic defeat” for Israel and a “failure” for the United States and moderate Sunni states in the region.

“Trump is determined to reach an agreement. Hardly any leader of a great power has ever shown such zeal, which is a sign of weakness,” Ynet believes, adding that even “the demonstration of power now boils down to Trump’s AI-generated videos portraying himself as a global superman.

“It’s hard to believe, but that’s exactly how it is: never before has such a powerful state shown such a terrifying weakness towards a country that was considered to have suffered a severe defeat,” the portal emphasizes.“]

Those who live will see“…

[“Zelensky keeps bragging online while frontline troubles mounting for Ukrainian army Fresh off the G7 summit, Zelensky once again tried to rattle President Putin and Russia with threats of a “harsh winter,” projecting an image that NATO’s latest tech upgrades had given him the strategic upper hand.

While Restore Britain (Rupert Lowe) is ideologically rather better than Reform UK (Nigel Farage), the fact is that the major System parties need to be destroyed or mortally wounded, or greatly weakened. At present, that is up to 2029, only Reform UK has the public profile to do that. Once Reform fails to fulfil its promise(s), real social nationalism can rise up.

The local elections of 7 May 2026 will be an interesting look at what the public are thinking.

In my local area (New Forest), I have received through the letterbox only two campaign leaflets so far, one a week ago from the LibDems and, only today, one from Reform UK.

Kiev-regime Ukraine is a puppet-state, a non-state.

The disastrous end of the Second World War let the evil genie out of the bottle, not only in Palestine and the wider Middle East but also in the USA, UK, France and elsewhere.

Over 2,000 in the UK alone. Plus those facilitating Zionism from North London and other locations. Looks like we need a Witchfinder-General of the modern age.

God, what a horrible tribe they are.

I am sorry for the ordinary Ukrainians (and their companion animals) who are suffering by reason of this terrible war, but the fact is that the Zelensky Jew-Zionist cabal is mainly culpable.

I have to say, also, that, with the possible exception of H.E. Mr. Kommissarenko, the one-time Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK (whom I took to the Porton Down microbiological research centre in Wiltshire about 30 or more years ago), I have never met any Ukrainian who was other than pretty dim-witted. Easily fooled, easily ruled, in my opinion.

Dim-wittedness is also usually the case when a Twitter/X account is seen flying the Ukrainian flag.

The Israeli Jewish state should never have been allowed to come into existence. It is now a kind of goblin-state, inimical to the peoples of the wider world— and not only those of surrounding Arab and Iranian peoples. Its “fifth column” across the world has infiltrated into many states, many societies, corrupting not only business but also politics, law, legal systems and professions and the mainstream media, as well as publishing and academia.

We see now once again, in Iran, Lebanon etc, how the Israeli state, and its military machine, uses the cover of various alleged events of the early-to-mid 1940s to excuse its evil activity.

Yvette Cooper: Labour Friends of Israel, a fraudulent expenses cheat, and a virtue-signalling “refugees welcome” hypocrite who said that Brits should house migrant-invaders in their own modest homes, while Yvette Cooper and her husband, Ed Balls, owned several houses and flats which (of course) were not used to house non-white invaders but to make even more money for the avaricious and horrible couple.

Fortunately, Yvette Cooper can only talk rubbish on TV, and has no real power.

Years ago, the rockets used by the several anti-Israel forces such as Hezbollah and Hamas, and even states such as Iran, were little more than large fireworks. Gradually, things evolved to the point where they are today. Look ahead 5, 10, 20 years. Israel is doomed.

I have blogged in the past about my visit to the UK’s “germ warfare” (etc) complex at Porton Down in Wiltshire, in or about 1995, and in the company of the then Ukrainian Ambassador to London, a Mr. Kommissarenko or Komisarenko [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko], who was himself a biochemist by training:

“Senior politicians”? Do you mean Starmer-stein, expenses cheat and Israel-puppet Yvette Cooper, and ignorant monkey-on-a-stick Lammy? (etc).

Hardy-ha-ha…

Little puppet-politicians of the Healey type are of no account. Literally nobodies (in the big scheme of things), yet posing as quasi-statesmen for 15 minutes of “fame”.

Not so. Leave NATO, cultivate better relations with a Russia eager to have our friendship, and we in the UK could have not only cheap oil and gas but also a massive market, in Russia, for our goods and services. All that, and also a militarily-powerful friend in the global arena.

Starmer-stein is a very minor politician, not a statesman. The Jewish/Israel lobby made him Labour leader after a campaign of years to trash Labour under Corbyn, so he does whatever the Jewish lobby wants him to do, pretty much, but at the same time is pulled the other way by his remaining voters (a dwindling number, looking at all recent polling), who are mostly either non-whites (mostly Muslim) and anti-Israel, or are English/Welsh/Scottish pro-Palestine people. Result is that Starmer is stuck on the fence most of the time.

Yes. Farage wants Reform to be the largest party after GE 2029, then he can ally himself with the Con Party, be Prime Minister but have a good excuse for not really doing much that most of his voters want. The “usual” (((usual))) suspects have already deeply wormed their way into Reform, largely via Tice. There is now a Reform UK Friends of Israel caucus. Quelle surprise

Having said that, I still want Reform to roll its tanks over Lab and Con at the next General Election. Why? Because once the old parties are trashed, a Reform government will inevitably fail to satisfy the requirements of the British people, thus opening the door to real social-national politics.

People know about the so-called “Stasi” of the old DDR, but often fail to see that the BfV, the security service of the former Bundesrepublik, and of the new Germany, is equally repressive, albeit in a less stark way most of the time.

Take a look at its massive HQ in Cologne (only one of numerous buildings around Germany occupied by the BfV):

Germany enforces so-called “holocaust” “denial” laws (akin to mediaeval heresy laws), and other repressive measures are in place behind the facade of its “liberal” “democracy”.

Incidentally, the current chief of the BfV is an ethnic Turk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinan_Selen.

Arabic might be considered the richest language in words based on its complexity. According to The National – the United Arab Emirates’ leading English-speaking news outlet – on average, a single written word in Arabic has three meanings, seven pronunciations and 12 interpretations.

Not merely a philological curiosity; it means that the meaning and/or intent of the Arab is not necessarily clear-cut.

True, the same word in English can have several meanings (some words can, that is), but I do not think that that is quite the same, mainly because, in English, the meaning is usually obvious from the context. Also, it applies to a relatively few words, not “the average“.

Something for the Arabists in the Foreign Office to consider, if they have not all been purged, and replaced by Zionists (which may well be the case, looking at UK representation in Ukraine and Israel in recent years).

Reform UK

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/02/reform-uk-can-win-scores-of-labour-seats-in-england-and-wales-says-study

Reform UK can win scores of Labour seats in England and Wales, says study.

Analysis of a mega poll shows Keir Starmer would lose more seats than Tories amid voter discontent with main parties.

Labour faces losing scores of seats to Reform UK across England and Wales as a widening section of ­voters lose faith in the mainstream parties, according to a new analysis seen by the Observer.

With senior figures in the Labour party now privately talking about a “change of era” in which more ­moderate voters are turning to Nigel Farage’s party, new research on Reform’s influence suggests it will take far more seats from Labour than from the Conservatives on ­current trends.

Reform would win 76 seats if an election were held now, according to a constituency-by-constituency model. Of those, 60 would be won from Labour, including seats across the “red wall”, as well as in Wales and across the south of England.

However, the analysis also reveals that even a relatively small further swing towards Reform from Labour could see the party pick up another 76 Labour-held seats.

The narrow Labour lead in many seats means it is susceptible in the event of a high turnout among Reform voters, a surge in Reform’s support, or a drop in Labour turnout.

The huge study, commissioned by the Hope Not Hate campaign group, has been carried out by the Focaldata polling company using a mega-poll, or MRP, made up of almost 18,000 voters.

Its analysis of almost 4,000 ­voters currently minded to back Reform found that one in five were “moderate, interventionist” voters who were unlike those who had backed Farage at the last election or supported Ukip or the Brexit party in the past.

[The Observer/Guardian]

So there it is. Reform could end up with 152 seats even on present polling and trending.

As frequently noted, Reform is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination, but this news, overall, is very good.

I only believe stock exchange speculators when they start jumping out of windows.

You may as well ban cars because a few lunatics deliberately or carelessly misuse them to hurt others. There must be literally billions of knives, even of the type(s) mentioned, in the UK.

Most knife crime is done by “the blacks and browns”, followed by other ethnic minorities, yet contemporary msm scribblers, talking heads, Westminster Bubble drones want to get rid of knives (or certain types of knife)?! Get rid of those doing the crimes. Get rid of them.

That Tom Calver person is, apparently, a Times columnist. No wonder people do not want to pay, for content of that sort.

Laughter, the best medicine“…

Over the past few decades, the newspapers have gradually filled with idiots of the Tom Calver type, all trying to present themselves as “serious” commentators. Some, such as pro-Jewish lobby and pro-Israel expenses cheat, Michael Gove, even made it into government.

As for “celebrity” Idris Elba, is there “some chance” that he might be biased? I merely pose the question.

Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad“, and Britain certainly has gone mad. Not so much the “broad masses” of the population, but mainly the Westminster Bubble, the msm scribblers and talking heads, the ivory tower fake academics etc.

Look at the odd man out— the “Conservatives”. I think that they are in a death spiral.

Of course, the System MPs (rather than voters) will fight to keep FPTP, but proportional representation is an idea the time for which has finally arrived.

Looking at it another way, it is certainly the aged who still support FPTP, because they have grown up with it, are used to it and many of them are too stupid to see that its time has gone.

As is she…

That is more or less my view, too.

I wonder how many of those in charge are Jewish? In the USA, psychiatry and psychology are heavily-Jewish areas, but I do not know whether that is also the case in the UK.

“I spent the weekend in an act of ‘wild service’ helping to restore nature & maybe helping to heal some if the urban/rural divide.

In an event organised by @StEthelburgas & @letterstoearth_, a group of urbanites came together in the glorious welsh countryside to plant hedges & trees.

The method of planting 100’s of metres of hedges to connect up existing habitats (copses, ponds, areas of scrub etc) cleverly balanced allowing the land to be used for farming whilst giving more connected space for Nature.

The thing I wasn’t expecting though was crossing cultural divides. Witnessing some of the farmers on twitter & in the media who repeat culture war bait about hating both Nature & urbanites in the countryside had coloured my impression of farmers more generally. However, our host Dave was so kind & welcoming to his land & seemed genuinely touched that we had come out to help plant & restore; the jar of homemade honey he gave to each of us was a wonderful reward for a weekend well spent.

Trees add so much to a cityscape or suburb, not only to the countryside.

Just had a look at that Brooker person. Supports the malicious and mainly Jewish “Hope not Hate” cabal, U.S. Democrats, Jess Phillips etc. Oh, and “anti-racism”. Retweets likely State asset and faux-socialist Paul Mason. Seems unclear what, if anything, he knows about the environment (etc).

Carrot cake was introduced in the UK (or reintroduced, having been known from at least the 16thC, probably much earlier) on a large scale in the early 1940s days of food rationing, to use vast stocks of carrots (unrationed) in lieu of sugar. It then became popular, and has remained so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrot_cake.

Electoral Calculus suggests that those figures might mean Labour largest party (237 MPs), Reform UK second (148 MPs), Conservatives 125, LibDems 78, Greens 6. So Labour could form a weak minority government with LibDem and SNP (etc) support.

On those figures, the Con Party would not even be the official Opposition, thus weakening their shattered credibility further.

For Reform to be the largest party in terms of seats, its vote will have to increase to at least 27%, if not 28% or more. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Well, a modest 5/10 this week, but I still managed to beat political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8.

Never mind that, say, a little girl born in the 21st century can hardly be blamed for the history of slavery. For Kendi, the mere fact of her genetic heritage is enough to damn her.

The second example is even more shocking. This is a chart produced in 2020 by the National Museum of African American History and Culture — part of the Smithsonian Institution, probably the most prestigious U.S. educational body of all.

The chart gives examples of ‘whiteness’ and ‘white culture’, which it clearly regards with disapproval. Sinister aspects of ‘white culture’ apparently include ‘hard work’, ‘self-reliance’, ‘the nuclear family’, ‘competition’, ‘delayed gratification’ and even ‘rigid time schedules’.

In just the first three weeks of this year, the NHS advertised for 19 ‘diversity and sustainability’ posts, with a combined salary of a cool £1 million. Indeed, in total the NHS in England alone employs an estimated 800 diversity and inclusion officers, costing a staggering £40 million a year.

As I have blogged previously, for me there are two main issues that stand out: firstly, at some point (and as Elon Musk has mentioned), AI gets to the point whereby it takes over the reins of its own evolution, no longer requiring, or even permitting, human decision-making to control that; secondly, AI may become so pervasive that it becomes almost impossible for any individual human being, or for humanity as a group, to live without it.

That is already to a large extent so in relation to, inter alia, mobile telephones, online access, debit/credit cards etc. Yes, you can live without internet access, without a mobile telephone (I have not had one for many years), without debit or credit cards etc, but it gets harder every month to live “off-grid” in that way.

Once cash becomes a medium of exchange used only by the marginalized, and not used much in supermarkets, larger shops etc, the System/matrix will have almost power of life and death over citizens. Say or do something anti-System, or anti the System agenda, and your banking services will be cut off, and you will find it hard to continue your political life, hard to conduct any business or profession, hard even to buy food, in the end.

“Conspiracy theory”? No. A number of people, such as Laura Towler, Mark Collett, Sam Melia (all of Patriotic Alternative) have had exactly that happen to them in the past couple of years.

I have already blogged a few times about my visit to the UK’s Porton Down “biolab” campus in Wiltshire in or about 1995, accompanying the then Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK; incidentally or co-incidentally, he was a trained scientist in the field(s) of biochemistry, microbiology etc: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porton_Down.

The sooner the Kiev regime runs out of arms, ammunition, and personnel, the better. Russia can take over Kiev and eastern Ukraine (east of the Dnieper) and start the work of rebuilding the damaged areas. Ukrainians (and Russians in Ukraine) live, in general, with lower living standards than Russians, certainly Russians from central or Baltic Russia (Moscow, Petersburg etc), and (as Putin has recently said) should be helped to a better standard of living.

Ukrainian police act as a press-gang, trying to force random and unwilling young men to become soldiers in Zelensky’s war.

The “May 9” reference refers to the so-called “Day of Victory” in 1945: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Day_(9_May).

Good, if obvious, points.

…or kosher ones.

London and the other large UK cities have gone the same way.

The cretins of what passes for the Kiev regime “high command”, and the similar idiots in Washington, cannot or will not see that, were Crimea actually to be isolated by a Kiev-regime fantasy “counter-offensive”, the Russian response might well be a tactical nuclear strike on the Kiev-regime forces, or even on central Kiev itself, obliterating Zelensky and his cabal (if that is where they really are).

The Ukrainians themselves are now starting to push back against the Zelensky regime.

Good to know that cultural institutions are being maintained and rebuilt.

Interesting. I have blogged a few times about the day in 1994 or 1995 (I think 1995) when I visited the partly-privatized but still heavily-guarded Porton Down biolab campus in Wiltshire, UK, with the then Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, a trained scientist who was later both a Presidential candidate and director of a biochemistry and biosecurity institute in Ukraine [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko].

Well, OK, but that old woman can express her views freely on the streets of (?) Moscow, and have them broadcast without repercussions. If she had been in Kiev, and had opposed the regime of the corrupt Jew Zelensky, she would probably, almost certainly, have been arrested; the interview would certainly not be broadcast or allowed to be put on social media. Everyone involved would be arrested.

So who is “brainwashed“? The Western msm is more or less brainwashing people in the UK, USA etc, though many are “thinking for themselves” and not supporting the war or the Kiev regime.

The Twitterati were all so shocked to find that there was a majority in favour of Brexit (meaning,mainly, in favour of stopping immigration), and that America voted Trump in 2016.

As I blogged yesterday, Jeremy Hunt seems to have a political cloth ear.

Goodwin’s tweet about “1950s” is not quite right though. “1940s” would be better. It is a linguistic point. The 1950s were when Britain began to exit from the terrible privation of the unnecessary war against the German Reich. The poverty of Britain was actually worse in the decade (and especially the 5 years) after the end of the war than it had been during that misconceived war. The decline in living standards during the war itself lurched lower in 1946, 1947 and did not improve, substantially, until about 1954 or 1955. The last remnants of WW2 rationing ended in 1955.

Incidentally, it is interesting to note that many poorer Brits actually had a better diet during WW2 rationing than they had had in the prewar 1930s.

Some of the (pro-immigration) replies to Goodwin’s tweet are unintentionally hilarious: idiots saying that the UK “needs” immigrants, that the UK is not “full” (despite housing covering more of our green fields daily), and one pro-invasion tweeter (one of the most vituperative) who lives on the Costa Tropical in Spain!

According to some tweets I saw, the decision was made by some black woman, by name Lorna Clarke: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/lorna-clarke-3a19b415. She, it seems, is actually the “BBC Director, Music” and formerly “Head of Rock and Pop“.

Education: Copenhagen Business School“…How odd.

That black woman who, on the face of it, knows little or nothing about serious music, made the decision. Even the Guardian has printed criticism of it: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/14/classical-music-bbc-orchestras-singers.

How has this been allowed to happen? Early last year, the BBC’s music review recommended an extraordinary restructure. Alan Davey, the recently departed controller of BBC Radio 3 and the Proms, ceased to have direct responsibility for the classical ensembles that are now under the control of former head of rock and pop Lorna Clarke, while [Simon] Webb, the former director of the BBC Philharmonic, is the new head of orchestras and choirs in England.

The BBC’s timing is as calculated as its strategy is callous: ensembles struggling to recover from the pandemic, exhausted from keeping the show on the road throughout, three of the ensembles without a permanent director and all contractually gagged. There is not one single champion for classical music left at the BBC in any position of power or influence. Herod has been left minding the creche.

I no longer know if the BBC is a public service broadcaster; I don’t recognise it any more, or its values. If it no longer exists to do that which others cannot or will not, then what is it for? After 23 years of constant change, the ensembles of the BBC have never been more agile, flexible or willing to adapt, and they represent tremendous value for money in the grand scheme of the BBC’s budget and our licence-fee payment.

The role of cultural patron is not optional, and the responsibilities as custodian of music ensembles do not give the BBC permission to dispose of and dismantle them without serious public discussion, not to mention honest, transparent internal debate. The values and behaviour of what we are told repeatedly is “our BBC” must matter to all of us as much as the content.”

[Paul Hughes, in the Guardian]

Apart from the actual absurdity of having blacks and merely business-trained persons in positions of power in the cultural sphere, this damage goes right back to the 1990s, to John Birt [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Birt,_Baron_Birt] and Greg Dyke [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Dyke]. Those two, who knew and worked with each other, both had poor educational and —initial— work backgrounds, yet were allowed to take leading positions in British television and radio.

Repin “reclassified” as “Ukrainian”!

Thankfully, Wikipedia still has him, as of today, as the Russian he was: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Repin.

Ilya Yefimovich Repin (Russian: (pre-1918: Илья Ефимовичъ Рѣпинъ) Илья Ефимович Репин, pronounced [ˈrʲepʲɪn];[a] 5 August [O.S. 24 July] 1844 – 29 September 1930) was a Russian painter.[1][3][4][5][b] He became one of the most renowned artists in Russia in the 19th century.

Repin was born on 24 July 1844 in the town of Chuguev, in the Kharkov Governorate of the Russian Empire, in the heart of the historical region of Sloboda Ukraine.[10][11][12] His father, Yefim Vasilyevich Repin (1804—1894) served in an Uhlan Regiment of the Imperial Russian Army. He fought in the Russo-Persian War (1826–1828), the Russo-Turkish War (1828–29) and the Hungarian campaign (1849).

Poland reprising its 1939 performance? Madness.

If Poland fights against Russia in 2023, that would trigger a Russian response which might mean that there will be no Poland, and certainly no Warsaw, by 2024. In fact, Poland being now a member of NATO, it might just trigger WW3.

The SNP may have had its day in the sun, but it could reinvent itself if it became more social-national, opposed mass immigration and migration-invasion, binned non-whites/non-Brits such as Humza Yousaf as candidates and office-holders, and announced a policy of leaving NATO and closing down all RAF/USAF bases, as well as submarine bases, while asking Russia for closer relations. None of that will happen, of course.

The idiotic woman even wears a rainbow scarf. Like a red flag, a warning signal. Just looked her up on Wikipedia; she is actually Canadian! How mad is that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorna_Slater.

All this stuff, dozens of things included, is part of the gradual approach of something which will go well beyond the traditional “police state”.

Oh yes. I recall once running late at Gatwick, only to be told by some simpleton in uniform to remove my shoes! I only caught my plane because it was delayed by engine trouble.

Even worse are the self-important armed police, strutting around with their Heckler & Koch MP5s or other weapons. So, if there are suspected terrorists, will they just open up with automatic weapons in a crowded terminal? I hope not. They are basically there “for show”.

When I was still a practising barrister in London, I was trying, around 1995, to get funding and support for an EU-award-winning project to make fuel out of biomass (I called it “gold out of straw”). I approached, to that end, two embassies, the Ukrainian and the Cuban.

Both Ukraine and Cuba had large amounts of biomass normally burned or left to rot, the unwanted surplus from agriculture (in the case of Cuba, mostly sugar-cane, in the case of Ukraine from grain crops, mostly wheat). Both countries needed fuel. Also, both countries were replete with scientifically and technically-trained people.

The Cuban Embassy ignored my letter, i.e. were useless bastards who deserved to wither on the vine (as they have done since); the Ukrainian Embassy was more interested. I was invited to meet, at first briefly, the then Ambassador, at the Embassy, which was then in Notting Hill (somewhere in the Holland Park area now).

The Ambassador, a Mr. Komissarenko, who now has his own Wikipedia page [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko] turned out, by lucky chance, to be a biochemist by training. He was a rather charismatic character (a former Deputy Prime Minister, who even had Presidential aspirations), and was very interested in visiting the British biological research (and “germ warfare”) laboratories at Porton Down, Wiltshire, which (partly-privatized) was the location of the lab and offices of the “gold out of straw” project.

A week or so later, I travelled with the Ambassador, his Scientific Attache, and a driver, to Porton Down. His driver, in a Lexus limousine, made the most of diplomatic immunity, running red lights from Notting Hill to outer London, then cruising at top speed down the A303. I thought that we must be going below the speed limit, so smooth and quiet was the ride, until I looked at the speedo— over 130 mph. We made Porton Down, on Salisbury Plain, a distance of about 90 miles, in about 40 minutes. Lexus make good cars.

After an initial hiccup at the sentry post, when the Ambassador, of all people, was not on the guards’ list, we entered the huge area, and the Ambassador was introduced to the main scientist on the Project, an elderly, gruff —and in fact hard to talk to— North Country boffin, Professor Someone-or-other, and the rest.

Anyway, an interesting day all in all, with a late pub lunch after we were checked out, and animated discussion between the Ukrainian and British or British-Iranian sides (one scientist, whom, with his brother and mother, I in fact knew personally, was one of a family that had fled Iran in the 1970s, the Ayatollahs’ regime having hanged the head of the family).

Porton Down is in a heavily military area. We were just starting to head back to London, down some country lane, when a British Army patrol, in full combat gear and camouflage cream, encountered us. The soldiers immediately went down on one knee. The officer then waved us on.

In the end, the project was at too early a stage for the Ukrainians. They wanted something more or less ready to begin producing on an industrial scale, so nothing came of it (and I missed out on what might have been a big fee). Still, interesting.

I saw some time ago from Wikipedia that Komissarenko was, perhaps still is, head of a biochemical institute in Ukraine. Ukraine seems to have a number of such institutes and laboratories. I wonder what they all do.

So much for lovely liberal Ukraine…

Can Ukraine now be called a functioning state at all? Seems to be behaving just like some kind of bandit regime…

That nincompoop should be asking himself why Britain should risk nuclear war with Russia for the sake of a Jew-ruled bandit state.

The real answer, though, lies in the fact that the “British” government is just “ZOG” and part of the New World Order plan, or “NWO”.

The Second World War was triggered when Germany invaded the territory of Poland (as did the Soviet Union), Britain and France having given Poland worthless guarantees that would be activated upon such invasion.

Britain and France could not save Poland from invasion, or be in any way involved in the matter, but those “guarantees” still meant that a world war was triggered.

In fact, without going into tiresome detail, the German invasion was partly the result of 20 years of Polish provocations.

Now we see, once again, Poland provoking matters, this time by having decided to supply Ukraine with fighter aircraft.

Many of Ukraine’s airfields are out of commission by reason of Russian attack. Will such aircraft now take off from and later land in Poland, having attacked Russian forces? What happens if Russian forces attack those bases in Poland? Poland is a NATO member now. Will NATO then take up arms against Russia?

This whole situation is in danger of sliding toward world war. Look at the deadheads in control in the UK, USA etc. I do not necessarily exclude Russia, not after this botched invasion that has trashed Russia’s reputation worldwide. The GRU and Russian Army need a profound reorganization.

Anything could now happen.

Hard to know what to make of the rumours that US Navy Seals and/or Delta Force are about to take the Jew Zelensky to safety in Poland, Lithuania, or elsewhere. Maybe. Certainly Zelensky is key. Were he to be captured or killed, the Russians would probably be able to take and hold Kiev more easily.

There is beginning to be a grim inevitability about events, which brings to mind 1939 and 1914.

I saw some idiot on a bicycle yesterday, fully masked in the cold wind. These “mask remainers” are mentally-ill, basically.
