The former MP, unimpressive Labourite drone Mike Amesbury, stepped down a few days ago, having been convicted of common assault and sentenced to 10 weeks in prison. He had drunkenly assaulted a complaining constituent in the street one evening.
The sentencing judge (district judge/magistrate) expressly refused bail pending appeal, so Amesbury was hauled off to prison briefly before, a couple of days later, having his bail application and appeal very expeditiously heard, his sentence then having been suspended. He does, however, have to do 200 hours of unpaid work; the imprisonment, unpleasant though it would be, might have been less onerous; also, the “10 weeks” would actually have been only 4 weeks long. Still, few would choose the imprisonment (given that choice).
Amesbury, to give him his due, could have simply put one or two fingers up to Labour (which has suspended him) and society, and carried on as an independent MP for the next 4 or so years (though a recall petition might have forced him out later this year). Instead, he decided to step down. I have to admit that I would not have done so, were I in his place.
As to the by-election, Labour won easily in 2024, but that was then; its 52.9% of the vote is not going to be replicated in the by-election. In the opinion polls about the by-election, Labour is only a point or two ahead of Reform UK (in the 30%-33% zone), with the Conservative Party on 20%, a few points higher than in 2024 (perhaps surprisingly).
The “experts” mostly think Labour will win the by-election, though the bookmakers (often unreliable guides in political betting) think Reform has the better chance.
My own view is that only dummies would vote “Labour” (aka Labour Friends of Israel Con-lite) now, after the disastrous past 8 months. Still, there are plenty of dummies out there…
The Conservative Party only scored 16% in 2024, and has no real chance in the by-election, so if Con voters want to stick it to Labour and Starmer-stein, then the obvious thing to do is to vote Reform. As I said, though, the UK is not short of dummies. Time and again we see voters march out to vote for parties that have no chance in a given seat.
Reform itself has been damaged by the recent infighting, perhaps, but the anger and frustration of many voters should not be underestimated. People wanted rid of the 14 years of “Conservative” misrule, only to find that, by reason of a semi-rigged FPTP electoral system, they are now misgoverned by a “Labour” regime even worse (and even less compassionate) than its Con predecessors.
On that basis, I think that Reform has a good chance, a very good chance.

“Councils across England and Wales have said they are keen to help accommodate asylum seekers as the government attempts to move as many as possible out of hotels, in part to try to ease community tensions.
The Local Government Association, which represents councils in England and Wales, said that while it had not been briefed about a possible shift away from the current model, councils would be keen to help if it happened.
“Councils have a proud history of supporting new arrivals across the current range of asylum and resettlement programmes,” said Louise Gittins, a councillor and the chair of the LGA.“
[Guardian]
So there it is. If you cannot get a lease of a local authority council property, or indeed a fairly-priced private lease or rental, you know why— migration-invasion.
Look at the words of that Louise Gittins idiot, i.e. that the way to “ease community tensions” (meaning fool the English/British into believing that they are not being swamped) is to, in effect, prioritize invaders over British or, at very least, to allow them to have social housing on the same basis as those who live here, those whose ancestors lived here, and who pay —through the nose— into the system…

Electoral Calculus has the result of that (with Greens at a notional 8%) as: Labour 230 seats, Cons 197, Reform 93, LibDem 70, Greens 6.
Hung Parliament. Labour, even with LibDem and Green support, could only form a minority government (even in full coalition, only 306 seats, about 16 short of a majority).
Early days, though. If Reform UK could get to 26% (and all other unchanged), the result would be: Lab 190, Reform UK 172 (official Opposition), Cons 160, LibDems 69, Greens 6. In that scenario, Labour, 136 short of a majority, could only govern on the say-so of either Reform UK or the Conservative Party. In fact, in such a scenario, a Reform UK-Conservative Party coalition or agreement would be far more likely, producing a joint majority of about 10 seats.

When I first drove in England, aged about 43, I had never had to parallel park for a driving test, and drove as long as I could on my foreign licence.
In the end, because the DVLA would not allow me to simply swap my licence for a UK one, I had to accept that I would have to get a UK licence and also take the UK driving test, which however I passed without difficulty, and perhaps unsurprisingly, having driven extensively both in the UK and overseas (including UK to Turkey and back, a trip more difficult in 2001 than it would be now, with the new motorways that now exist, extended Schengen Zone etc).
The one difficult aspect was the parallel parking, but I employed a driving instructor for 2 brief afternoon sessions, and he taught me how to parallel park to a higher standard than I already knew.

I was never a sparkling wine drinker, but Sekt is as good as anything else except the best Champagne. Also, on a partly-personal point, not many people know that, when Ambassador in London, Ribbentrop, apart from his residence in the German Embassy (then at Carlton House Terrace near The Mall), kept a private house in Barnes (the area the other side of Hammersmith Bridge; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes,_London).
The modestly spacious detached house, with gardens, and situated in a side-road, was later owned by a lady with whom I was slightly acquainted (the friend of a friend). I visited it once, perhaps twice. She later sold it (mid/late 1980s) to a Jew, who knocked it down and built a small block of two or three-storey flats on the site.
Incidentally, I was just looking at Wikipedia; nothing at all in it about Ribbentrop’s residence in Barnes. “Unknown history”, it seems, though of course MI5’s files would have the details, as far as the 1930s are concerned.

I think that that may be part of it. Also, the sinister conspirators trying to implement the Coudenhove-Kalergi agenda have made a determined effort to flood the British countryside with non-whites, as witness the National Trust and similar organizations.
The British countryside is one of the few redoubts of white British people, surrounded by urban and suburban non-white swamps. Farmers in the UK are almost entirely a white British community. This makes them a target.
I myself have criticisms of farmers in some respects, but that does not mean that I want them “replaced” by migrant-invaders and/or corporations interested only in the bottom line.

Few today will be aware that, when Adams headed both Sinn Fein and the IRA in Belfast, he was getting social security payments from the equivalent of the present DWP. Petty, maybe, but it does show how “careful” the British governments of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s were in dealing with these people.
The Northern Ireland situation was handled, mainly, in the way the British state handled, for example, the Rhodesia/Zimbabwe situation. Gather as much intelligence as possible. Don’t be too harsh or extreme. Try to get the parties to come to agreement. Manage the situation.
That may sound all very reasonable, but it does not work when you are dealing with the likes of Mugabe or Adams. Fact. It leads to poor resulting conditions.
Northern Ireland stopped actually fighting 25 years or so ago mainly because the IRA had run out of steam, the civilian population wanted an end to it all, and the British Government was willing to throw huge amounts of money at the province in terms of public sector jobs, social welfare, social housing etc, and also willing to let the convicted fighters/terrorists/whatever out of prison. The Good Friday Agreement. “Peace” at a price.
The British Government was also willing to allow, in effect, the IRA into government. Martin McGuinness, Gerry Adams etc.
Oh, well. Northern Ireland is a sideshow anyway, but it is irritating.

“Kathryn is a firm believer in the 19th-century adage that we are only ever nine meals from anarchy. Having learned the skill of stockpiling from her wartime parents and grandparents, her first mini-foray was in preparation for Y2K.
“That was mainly candles and biscuits, because I didn’t really take it very seriously,” she said. “But it did mean that I was already halfway there when I realised I needed a substantial, genuine Brexit stash, which then morphed into a Covid stash, which in turn became a cost of living store, then an ‘Are we going to run out of electricity?’ store when the Ukraine war kicked off, and is now a general, all-encompassing everyday/WW3 stash.”
Kathryn could soon be joined by many more concerned citizens preparing for a worst-case scenario after the deputy prime minister, Oliver Dowden, said this week that people should stock up on battery-powered radios, torches, candles and first aid kits in case of power cuts or digital communications going down.“
Not such a silly idea. I have examined that and other aspects of prepping on the blog (search via the search box).
As mentioned previously, the once very famous occult-thriller (etc) writer, Dennis Wheatley [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Wheatley], in his very readable memoirs, Drink and Ink, recounted how, in his popular newspaper column of the late 1930s, he recommended to his readers that they “stock up” on tinned food (mainly) against the likelihood of a European war.
Wheatley followed his own advice, and thus was better prepared than most for the rigours of British WW2 rationing. Of course, he was in a better position than most, living in a country house at Lymington in the New Forest, and with both storage space and money with which to spend stocking up.
Not a bad idea if you have those two necessities. 20 years ago, I could have done that myself; I was then living in one of the largest houses in Cornwall (only leased, sadly) and was, if far from wealthy or affluent, at least not usually very short of money on a day to day basis.
[where I lived about 20 years ago]
Times change. The whole of my present tiny flat would fit at least twice over merely into the ballroom of that Cornish house. I now have no space (let alone money to spend) “stocking-up” for national emergency. Should my circumstances change, I would do that, though.
The Mormons, at least in their home state of Utah, make sure that they have in their homes a basic supply of dried and tinned goods sufficient for 2 years. Perhaps a legacy from the covered-wagon days of the mid-19thC in that part of the world.
I shall not go into great detail here about such prepping, but since Wheatley’s 1930s, the technology of canning has moved on, the variety of tinned goods has expanded, and the same is true of dried goods.
In the end, storing tins of food etc will not save you, years down the line, but it can provide a breathing space for you and your families.

There are still innumerable pseudo-socialists and others who seem to think seriously that the UK, and the rest of Europe, can absorb waves of mass immigration without limit. How wrong they are. In the end, those waves will break down society completely, destroy our people, and smash our society into pieces.
In the literal sense of "precedent" this "precedes" the evetual departure of Judaism from England, that seems now more or less inevitable in the long run.

Alternatively, just have proper men’s and women’s sports, as previously.

It is, however, germane, to point out that a high proportion of immigrants (both “legal” and “illegal”) have no useful qualifications, and in many cases cannot even speak English beyond the most basic level. Apart from that, the fact is that “race is the root-stock, culture is the flower and fruit“. Race or “ethnicity” is central to the whole question.

Little Indian money-juggler Sunak reminds me of those hopeless contestants on TV quiz shows such as The Chase, the completely ignorant contestants, of whom you wonder “why are you even on a quiz show? You couldn’t buy a right answer“.
Had I been asked as recently as last month whether I thought that Sunak would lead his “Light Brigade” into the next general election, I would have replied that he would, if only because that election now looms large, with only a year or so to go, at maximum (I am told January 2025 would be the last possible month). There is a degree of “groundrush”.
Now? I am not so sure. The Conservative Party looks like getting wiped out, or at least reduced to as few as 50 MPs, unless its “leaders” can put forward something as a gamechanger. So far, every policy initiative run up the flagpole has been shot down by a public showing of thumbs-down. It may just be that the last desperate throw will be to change the leader (again).

History? What history?
I happened this morning to see an episode of the quiz show The Chase, I think from several years ago. One contestant was a university student reading History (somewhere in Yorkshire; Leeds I think).
Said student said that his own main interest was 20th century history. He was asked in which country was The Long March, and replied “UK“! Of course it was not in the UK, but in China.
Another question, scarcely taxing, one would have thought, even for those not spending three years reading History at a university: “in which city was Sir Francis Drake playing bowls when the Spanish Armada was sighted?” He replied (from a choice of three cities) “Portsmouth“! Time was when every schoolboy would have known that Drake was on The Hoe at Plymouth at the material time.
The educational system in the UK must be rock-bottom now. Attendees spend something like 13 years in full-time primary and secondary education, and most come out of that knowing “FA”…
The same seems true of most university students.
I see, incidentally, that it is now admitted that the proportion of students awarded so-called Firsts at university has doubled in the past few years! In the title of an old British comedy show “Never Mind the Quality, Feel the Width“…
Quite. I was recently informed that my brother and sister-in-law, residents of Sydney, Australia, had come down, briefly, with the dreaded Covid. Symptoms? Same as with (any other) heavy cold.

What can one say? The tiny “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] cabal (actually, in active terms, just one Jewish crank) thinks that the above picture is so offensive that only police action and CPS prosecution will do by way of remedy.
So what do the “CAA” do? Repost it themselves on Twitter!
You couldn’t make it up.
It really is about time that some police forces (Gloucestershire Police, for one) woke up to these troublemakers, and particularly to the main troublemaker. Some of my own experiences with the aforesaid crank(s) and nuisance(s):
There are over 250,000 Jews in the UK. Only a few dozen belong to, or support, the “CAA”. Certainly no more than a hundred or so. Those few, however, seem to have contacts in the main System political parties, the Press, and in some police forces.
The “CAA” is engaged in what amounts to abuse of the criminal justice system, trying to cajole and/or pressure police and CPS to prosecute people of whom the “CAA” disapproves.
