Utterly mad (of course).
[“Approximately 500,000 Ukrainian citizens in Germany receive benefits, while only a quarter of those who have arrived are employed – Bild
“The employment rate is only 27.1% – significantly lower than in other European countries.”
Alice Weidel, leader of the “Alternative for Germany” party, stated that Germany can no longer afford to support Ukrainian refugees.”]
Almost all the Ukrainians I ever met were total wastes of space.
The point is not only that more and more are making successful claims (because the legal architecture around asylum is completely out of date, and has been for decades) but also that even the unsuccessful claimants almost all remain here, and are not removed.
[“I see that the NSPCC is in the news today for all the wrong reasons.
I was a volunteer counsellor within the organisation for over 5 years. After whistleblowing my concerns regarding the safeguarding of children, I was told to leave. Here are some of the things I witnessed:
-Message boards in which children advise each other about sourcing cross-sex hormones and genital surgery
-Advising vulnerable girls on wearing breast binders
-Defending men who want to ‘chest feed’ babies
-Telling children that, if they are left infertile after transitioning, they can always get a surrogate to carry a baby for them
-A CEO who has said that ‘transwomen’ should be “celebrated”
-A webpage which reads as a roadmap to transitioning
-Trans flags flying in its counselling rooms
-Collaboration with Mermaids
-Enlisting children to make pride flags for marches
-Selling ideological reading material through its online shop
-A Head of Childline, Shaun Friel, who said that it is a “privilege” to work with children “coming out” regarding their “gender identity”
If our children are not safe contacting the NSPCC, where are they safe?“]
In fact, there have been serious doubts about the NSPCC and similar and associated bodies for decades. The behaviour of many staff has been appalling, as in the “Orkney witchhunt” case, in which families were torn apart in a situation akin to the Salem witch trials of 330 years ago: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trials; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkney_child_abuse_scandal; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_satanic_ritual_abuse_allegations#Rochdale

As a matter of fact, I should say that one of the most prominent facts about Britain in 2026 is the widely-held belief that “wishing makes it so.“
I am not only referring to the epidemic of fake “trans” persons etc. You see the syndrome all over the place. For example, the belief that ever-more impressive exam results in schools and colleges mean that students are ever-more educated and/or intelligent.
The same is true of the ever-greater numbers of “graduates”, the same being found everywhere now in low-level retail jobs, call centre jobs, all sorts of poorly-paid, low-skill jobs.
Another example: the belief that Britain is a nation (leave that aside for now) which can face down or successfully fight Russia. That belief requires its believers (retired senior military desk-officers, quite a number of MPs, thousands if not hundreds of thousands of middleaged/elderly Daily Express and Daily Mail readers etc) to believe that a country (the UK) with a very small —and frankly now not very impressive— army/navy/air force, and about 50 at-any-time-usable nuclear missiles can “defeat” (if “defeat” has any meaning in the nuclear age), or at least hold, a country (Russia) 72x the size, with twice the population, with massive armed forces and, most importantly, as many as 7,000 nuclear weapons, some of which cannot be intercepted or stopped.
Another example: that Britain can continue to allow the importation of millions of racially and culturally backward individuals while maintaining the level of, or even improving the level of, society here (cultural norms, services, pay, State benefits, environment etc). It is more than mistaken; it is actually mad, yet millions of people [want to] believe it.
For me, at least some of the pervasive untruth around had its genesis in the “holocaust” farrago spread out since 1945 and particularly the past 40 years. In particular, the “gas chambers” fable.
Untruth has pervaded our society and so poisoned it, and its politics.
Angela Rayner is herself a personification of sleaze (also ignorance).
Farage himself is not particularly popular, not particularly liked or respected. However, as frequently noted on the blog, Farage’s and Reform’s best point is not anything Reform or Farage may do, or may have done, but the state of the traditional System parties. They also are not much liked or respected. People are voting against them, not for Reform or, even less, for Farage himself.
Look at the opinion polls: Reform and Labour both in the low/mid 20s, around 25%. The Conservative Party a few points below that level.

Long before the Russian “invasion” of 2022, Ukraine was known as the most corrupt country in Europe. Even in the 1990s.
That prosecutor was probably getting too close to getting enough evidence about Zelensky and his immediate circle.

Britain no longer even pretends to be a “free country”, the description often heard 50 or 60 years ago.
Refer to previous comment…
Victory in Eastern Ukraine may be, at last, within Russia’s grasp.
Loonie.
Loonie (he seems to include the UK in that).
If someone, some force, some religious army, could take Mecca, then either use it as an Islamic base or totally destroy it (especially the religious relics such as the Kaaba), that would change the Middle East and the world forever.
