Talking point

During the Nuremberg Trials, Hermann Göring gave an interview to psychologist Gustave Gilbert and said: “Of course the people don’t want war. Why would some poor farmer want to risk his life in a war when the best he can hope for is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, people don’t want war. No one wants war in Russia, England, America — not even in Germany. That’s obvious. But in the end, it’s the leaders of a country who determine policy. And it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it’s a democracy, a communist state, a parliament, or a fascist dictatorship.” Gilbert objected: “But there is one difference in a democracy — the people have a voice through their elected representatives.” To which Göring replied: “That’s all well and good, but whether the people have a voice or not, they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nuremberg Diary, April 18, 1946.”

Apply that to the present pro-war frenzy in the “British” Press (“Lugenpresse”/”Judenpresse”); the attempt to foment a terrible and unnecessary war between the western, some central, and some eastern European states, and Russia.

Tucker Carlson talks with some Jewish woman. “Their” reactions are often hard to understand for a European (including any real-European-origin American). They are “strangers in a strange land” among us.

Note how she has recently visited Germany, but all she has taken away from her visit are some speculations about the genesis of the supposed “holocaust” of the early 1940s.

Naturally, that sounds derogatory or even cruel, but once you have encountered Africans, even those with paper qualifications etc, you realize how true it is, speaking generally. There are a few exceptions, but not very many.

We have to improve and raise the overall intellectual level of the UK (and the rest of Europe). That cannot be done when millions of very low-level migrant-invaders are flooding in (whether “legally” or “illegally”) and breeding.

Of course, it may be trite to refer to MPs, journalistic scribblers and talking heads etc as “traitors” and “enemies“, but then look at what they, most of them, have done for decades, and continue to do. Facilitation and promotion of the migration invasion, and the covering-up of its consequences, among many other crimes.

So a couple of Jews are stabbed in London, and it is supposedly a “national security emergency“, but four persons (not Jews) shot from a moving car, as in 1920s Chicago, and it is merely an everyday criminal incident…

Join the dots…

Is comment even necessary?

According to Marco Rubio last week, Iran may have used half of its entire missile stockpile, but that may also be true of Israel, we do not know. We can be sure, though, that Iran will be working day and night to build more missiles of the most advanced type.

If that is so, I think that I know why it is so. Such places were tribal Labour for a century or more, and now those people feel betrayed. They never expected the Con Party to help them, but they also never expected the Labour Party to stab them repeatedly in the back, or in the front for that matter.

It did not start with Starmer-stein but with Blair and Brown. Mass immigration encouraged, the demonization of the British sick and disabled, the ATOS carpetbaggers, the uselessness of police and NHS quite often. Then, also, freeloading and/or fraudulent MPs such as (to give merely a few examples) Stephen Timms, Caroline Flint (now binned), Wes Streeting, Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves (all members of Labour Friends of Israel).

What hurts more, the enmity of a long-term enemy, or betrayal by a former friend?

Import the lower races, import their low standards and ways of doing things (including business and politics).

Unexpected“? I have been predicting it for about 2 years, and proclaiming it as fact since Tice allied Reform to the Jewish lobby and Israel a while ago. Reform is rapidly becoming a System party and, now that it looks as though it may be able to form a government in 2-3 years, the Jewish/Israel lobby scrabbles to control it completely.

People are not going to vote Reform because they like or trust Reform or Farage, let alone Tice etc, but will vote Reform to hit out at both Labour and the Con Party.

System commentators live in the System Bubble and/or Westminster Bubble. They often fail to see that, for millions of people, this is not a clever little newspaper-scribblers’ game, nor a “debate” of some kind. For millions of people, this is a case of growing hatred of the way things are in this country, and that includes the System parties.

As I have repeatedly blogged.

If they cannot be stopped and/or turned back at sea, they should be offered the choice: a ticket home, or to somewhere else outside Europe, and a small monetary gratuity to encourage them, or sterilization (at the least). Europe including the UK must remain European.

I have to admit that I myself did not know that.

Creatures of Hell, who should be sent there as soon as possible.

You can be sure that Morgan McSweeney, a non-Jew who serves the Jewish and Israeli interest and who tried to take the bullet for Starmer recently, will be found a lucrative sinecure as a payoff.

Zoe Gardner has made a career of sorts out of propagandizing for mass immigration into the UK. I wonder, though, whether she understands what will happen to her and her type once the UK is a dystopian black/brown hellhole akin to those from which many of the migrant-invaders originate?

Look at that interview with idiotic Con Party MP, Helen Whately, a silver-spoon know-nothing airhead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Whately].

Completely in the pocket of the Jewish/Israel lobby. Also, a cautionary example of how unwise it is to think that a woman (or man, for that matter) is intelligent and/or well-informed just because she has a tick-box PPE degree from Oxford.

Completely idiotic.

Helen Whately is unlikely to retain her Faversham and Mid Kent seat, looking at her most recent election result; she retained the seat in 2024 with a very low 31.8% vote (Labour 28.6%; Reform 21.2%). Reform will probably win next time. She will hardly be on the breadline, though, being married to the CEO of an energy company.

Israel. Again.

The only factor to bear in mind is that it can only happen in Europe if the native populations want it badly enough, and are willing to pay the price (civil war) for it.

Leaving aside the politics, I have to commend that citizen for his garden (and flag!). An unaesthetic bungalow with a postage-stamp lawn, but his little trees and bushes have made a real difference. A few more, and it would be even better. If all the other dwellings in the neighbourhood did the same, the area would be transformed, very likely.

Terrible.

When I returned to the UK after a spell in Rhodesia, aged not quite 21, in 1977, I had no serious (well they were taken seriously, back then…) educational qualifications such as “A” Levels or a degree (having dropped out of school aged 16). I did not start to acquire such exam-pass qualifications until I was in my mid-twenties. However, it was very easy in those days to pick up casual/temporary low-level jobs in warehouses, factories, Post Office sorting facilities (heaving sacks of mail around) etc. You really had only to apply, in most cases. That was then.

Later, I acquired a law degree, then a Bar qualification (in fact, two, being Bar of England and Wales and the Bar of the State of New York, as well as a couple of “comity admissions” in other jurisdictions.

Terrible architecture (the new one; the older one merely undistinguished), but the worst thing is that Nature had a little space or haven there previously; now none.

Rather odd.

A thought out of season

I saw “Maureen Lipman” trending on Twitter/X today, and thought that perhaps she was at last going to make good on her much-repeated “threat” (or should that be “promise”?) to leave the UK by reason of “antisemitism” here, and go to live in either Israel or the USA. Sadly, no. It all has to do with some trivial storm in a teacup in a Scottish theatre.

22 July

I have just watched 22 July, a 2018 Netflix production about the 2011 massacre and bombing in Norway carried out by Anders Breivik.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Behring_Breivik

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22_July_(film)

Overall impression: quite well made, but very slow in the last hour [143 minutes in all].

As to Breivik and his action, I was not blogging in 2011, so have never written anything substantial about all that. I did blog about the rather similar attack which happened in New Zealand in 2019:

Triple Lock

I disagree with the lady tweeter, but of course I would, being now 69 and markedly impecunious!

If the rubbish i Paper is right, then that is yet another reason to keep the Triple Lock…

Equally if not more seriously, that lady has apparently learned nothing from the fact that her ex-husband, one-time MP for Poole, lost his seat in 2024 (thus also depriving the lady in question of a fairly well-paid job as part of his office staff, though they were divorced long ago). She now pretends to run something called The Moderates, which I (perhaps uncharitably) think has a “membership” about the same as the number of empty bottles in her kitchen or cellar, and quite possibly no members at all.

At present, the Conservative Party is polling around 15%-19%, and may well be left with fewer than 50 MPs at the next general election (116 at present, already by far the lowest in its nearly 200-year history; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)#UK_general_election_results).

Part of the reason Rishi Sunak did so badly at GE 2024 is because he is Indian, but another major factor (of several) was that, for one year, 2021/2022, he paused the Triple Lock, making pensioners worse off. He reinstated it before GE 2024, but by then the damage was done.

A very large proportion of the Conservative Party vote in 2024, as always in the past, consisted of people over 60. Many former Con voters, though, did not vote, or voted Reform. The Con Party has not recovered, and will (in my opinion) never recover. Abandoning the Triple Lock would hammer in the final nail.

https://yougov.com/en-gb/articles/49978-how-britain-voted-in-the-2024-general-election.

Now, bearing in mind that the Con Party is already usually opinion-polling below 20%, imagine the reaction from the pensioner voters were the Con Party to abandon the Triple Lock; Con Party support would decline to around 15%, maybe even to 10%, and the party be all but wiped out.

The same is true of Labour, though. Labour polling is already on or nearly on life support. Getting rid of the Triple Lock would dent the surviving Labour vote very considerably. At GE 2024, 20% of voters aged 70+ were still voting Labour, as were 28% of voters aged 60-69.

So far, Reform has pledged to retain the Triple Lock, thus locking-in a good proportion of that crucial 60+ age-group vote.

Look at the Con Party. Led by a Nigerian woman (that, alone…) who is a finance-capitalist stooge completely in the pocket of the Israel/Jewish lobby, and who only has a British passport because her parents deliberately had her born in London (only staying for a few days in 1980).

Are many people going to vote Con, either at the next GE or in the 7 May 2026 local elections? I doubt it.

Coronavirus

Seems that the public has become accustomed to the name and refuses to adopt the official “Covid-19” label.

As for our medical and scientific progress, look at this news item from 1918, prior to the arrival in New York of the worldwide “Spanish Flu”, which eventually killed millions.

“Soap and water” (and “fresh air”). Progress? What progress?

Note also the optimistic “will be less violent than [in 1917]”… which turned out to be quite mistaken.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2862336/

A New York Times report from 2009:

We do not yet know what is going to happen worldwide or in the UK in respect of the present outbreak, but the signs are worrying. The UK government response has been quite flabby: unco-ordinated, while giving out “fake news”, as suited thug Matt Hancock MP (only at the present time could such a person pose as a Cabinet minister), Secretary of State for Health, has done:

“Supermarkets have said Matt Hancock’s claim they will deliver food to those who are self-isolating over coronavirus fears was “totally made up”.

The health secretary said during a Question Time appearance on Thursday that the government was in talks with retailers about home deliveries.

“We are working with the supermarkets to make sure that, if people are self-isolating, then we will be able to get the food and supplies that they need,” he said.

However, supermarket sources have said they have not been involved in discussions.

Matt Hancock has totally made up what he said about working with supermarkets,” one executive told the BBC. “We haven’t heard anything from government directly.”

They said sales of cupboard basics, such as pasta and tinned goods, had “gone through the roof”.

Teams were working “round the clock” to keep shelves stocked, he said, adding: “We are using processes and staffing levels we set up in case of a no-deal Brexit.”

The supermarket exec added: “While I think people don’t need to panic buy and should just shop normally, I’m not sure the government can guarantee all food supply in all instances.”

One senior executive accused Mr Hancock of lying and told The Times: “I am really angry about it.”

Another said the Department of Health had got in touch with his company for the first time on Friday.”

A major problem in both the UK and USA is that the reins of “democratic” power are basically in the hands of idiots.

In the UK, we have someone posing as “Prime Minister” who shows every sign of repeating and enlarging upon his previous failures as journalist, editor, MP and Foreign Secretary (and that’s without even getting into his personal life), but doing that while intoning a rote-learned Latin or Greek tag, or making a silly joke.

In the end, for Boris-idiot, everything revolves around him, not in the sense of a Stalin, a Hitler, a Napoleon, who were centres of attention and power because they wished to achieve policy ends; in the case of Boris-idiot, the attention/power conflation is simply an end, indeed the end, in itself.

Below, a couple of well-meaning and logical tweets which will be totally ignored in the lemming-like rush to panic-buy:

More on the emerging pandemic

A recent survey of “advanced” countries showed Italy at the bottom of the list re. washing hands after using the bathroom etc. Only about 50% of Italians do. They are not very clean. Now see…

Foxhunting

We dislike the sadists who use dogs to (illegally) root out badgers etc, or those who abuse other animals in the wild or in domestic or farm settings, yet foxhunting still continues despite the (typically) badly-drafted Tony Blair law passed nearly 20 years ago.

Foxhunting is an old and admittedly colourful tradition, which started several hundred years ago after the royals and aristocrats had hunted larger game to extinction or near extinction in the UK, or where such animals had been driven away by farming: bear, wolf, deer etc. It is now an archaic and cruel spectacle and practice which has had its day and should be banned outright.

I have no objection to drag-hunting or trail-hunting, so long as they are not used as an excuse for hunting the fox.

If hunts continue to hunt foxes, they have to be closed down by law.

I might add, that, in view of the illegality which is common in hunts, both in their hunting and in their preparations etc, as well as in the violent way they deal with protestors, they could scarcely complain if a greater degree of direct action were to be used by those opposed to hunting. The police in most rural areas are, at the least, turning blind eyes, or are complicit with the flouting of the hunting law. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Action directe…

Marr and Sophy Ridge

Saw bits of both The Andrew Marr Show (BBC1) and the Sophy Ridge on Sunday effort (SkyNews). Marr I have always found a peculiar dog’s dinner: a newspaper review, some discussion, one or two political interviews, a showbiz section, then cabaret to finish, the last at 0950 or so on a Sunday morning! For me, the format does not work. Today, the talking heads were

  • Israeli doormat, Priti Patel’s, former chief of staff (“No, Sir! She was no bully! No, Sir!”, which makes it rather odd that civil servants from three separate departments are lining up to denounce her and in some cases to sue her…); and
  • a couple of women journalists, neither very interesting and one irritatingly loud as well.

After that, there was an interview with a woman in Geneva, maybe Australian or New Zealander, who apparently is an expert in epidemics or something but who had little of interest to say.

Finally, Andrew Marr turned to John McDonnell, who has recovered from the post-election shock (when he looked like a frail pensioner tipped out of his wheelchair and mugged), and who now once again affects that “John Prescott” fake bonhomie that means so…little. McDonnell is very obviously a humourless and unpleasant man.

McDonnell still at least pretends to believe that Labour has a future, even under one of the three not very wise monkeys now contesting the leadership. McDonnell today seemed to me like nothing so much as a bored pianist, hitting most of the right notes but without enthusiasm. Living conditions, pay, poverty etc…No mention of mass immigration, though, which overall is such a terribly negative factor in the UK’s society, stretching NHS, schools, policing, housing and all the other areas. Also, reducing pay for almost everyone. More people seeking jobs means lower pay, overall.

CtgqCFYWIAA6yvR

The same applies to more people wanting social security, and every other type of State aid for citizens.

ClVU6MSWgAAmfK6

One notices, on Twitter in particular, how many people still look to Labour for socio-political salvation, but they are sadly misguided.

https://twitter.com/rozzleberry/status/1236578652449640448?s=20

Corbyn was actually better than the “three unwise monkeys” who are now vying for leadership, but he failed to get sufficient voter support (yes, partly by reason of the Jewish campaign against him in the msm and on social media, so be it…).

DLoVt8oXUAA5KMb

At present, there is no reason to think that Labour can get greatly (or any) more voter support than it got at the 2019 General Election, though it is true to say that, in a sense, what happened to Labour last year could happen to the Conservative Party next time, meaning 2019 Con-voters staying home (far more Lab voters stayed home in 2019 than switched to Conservative). If that happens next time, Con and Lab could find themselves not far apart, amid voter apathy and/or discontent.

As for Sophy Ridge on Sunday, pretty underwhelming. The lady herself seemed out of her depth and seemed to be reading from a script. Maybe others do that too, but if so they do it in a more polished manner. I was not familiar with her background, so looked her up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophy_Ridge

Underwhelming, despite her career success at a relatively young age.

I doubt that I shall become a regular viewer.

A thought out of season

It could be that the Coronavirus peak in the UK will prove to be the biggest boon the criminal milieu has had since the Second World War blackout: police and courts, already stretched to the max, failing to function, streets empty, shops denuded of staff (both ordinary assistants and security staff). Not only that, but (if the epidemic is really bad) witnesses in trials failing to appear because unwell or deceased.

Disturbing people

People who play practical jokes rarely have a sense of humour. The newspaper report below features a couple perfectly happy to make their 3-y-o son unhappy in order to get Facebook “likes”. What appalling and stupid people.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/boy-3-left-gagging-after-21654153

The parents call that “harmless fun”. I think not. What does it teach the child? That it is OK to do silly, cruel things to others because you want to see them suffer? For so-called “fun”? These parents may well find that the seed they have planted turns into a tree which will fall on them in later years…

I find those parents, and others like them, disturbing. This is only a few steps removed from child abuse.

Labour Party poll

Jeremy Corbyn is bequeathing his successor a Labour Party so out of touch with mainstream British values that almost half of its members are ‘ashamed’ of their own country’s history, according to a new poll. After four years with Mr Corbyn at the helm, barely one in three of the Labour faithful are proud of the nation’s past, compared to more than 50 per cent of voters.” [Daily Mail, citing a YouGov poll]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8086771/Nearly-half-Labor-members-ashamed-countrys-history-new-poll-reveals.html

More than half of Brits – 53 per cent – were proud of the last 300 years of the nation’s history. But only 29 per cent of Labour members agreed, while 48 per cent of them said Britain’s past in that period was something to be ashamed of.” [Daily Mail]

I see two factors at work here. First of all, “Brits” in this context will include the blacks, browns, and all the rest who have flooded in (or been born here) in the past half century or so. They are not fully “British”, not really. Why should these aliens feel patriotic about our country?

Apart from that, there is the basically anti-British bias in education. Nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale eclipsed by (black woman) Mary Seacole, who ran a tea-room for officers during the Crimean War. Just one of many examples.

Anyway, it is clear that the Labour Party is in a slow but probably terminal decline. So is the Conservative Party, though.
