The Sun of course fails to point out (for the benefit of the naive) that the untermenschen in question are horrible Roma Gypsies. Why are they even allowed to stay in this country? If and when the UK has a proper government, they will be removed.

Imagine the UK police even taking an interest in such a theft! They are too busy snooping on people’s tweets and blog posts at the behest of the Jew-Zionist lobby; that and very boringly harassing socio-political online commentators such as me.

A hospital chief was overpaid treble the top rate allowed for her role at a Welsh NHS health board – and took home £105,000 more than she should have in just four months.

Gaynor Thomason, 61, was appointed interim director of nursing and midwifery which offers a maximum annual salary of £149,334 – but she was paid the equivalent to a £469,500 annual salary.

That is the NHS today— ridiculous carpetbaggers (box-ticking bureaucrats) paid huge amounts for nothing very much.

Well, there’s something I did not know. No hint of it in her Wikipedia entry: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Mordaunt#Early_life_and_education.

The craziest thing of all (and most destructive economically) was the stupid “austerity” programme of part-Jews George Osborne and David Cameron-Levita, carried on from 2010 to 2015, then continued to a large extent by (also part-Jews) Theresa May and “Boris” Johnson.

That ridiculous “austerity” programme after the 2008 banking crash (the “austerity” validated by the msm propaganda hate campaign against the poor, unemployed, sick, and disabled) meant that, instead of borrowing at zero or near-zero interest rates and then investing in the future (useful infrastructure, real education etc), all that happened was that the economy was further crippled, leading over time to enormous state debt anyway, but for nothing useful.

The disastrous anti-“Covid” measures merely made all that worse.

Incidentally, the Gordon Brown government, 2007-2010, had already started the attack on State services, benefits etc, and had allowed entrance to the fraudulent ATOS regime at the DWP. Don’t tell me that “Labour”, particularly under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer, is going to be any different to the “Conservatives”.

Was there ever a “Ben Wallace cult“? Good grief…

Typical Twitter ignorance. Rinder has never been a judge; he simply plays a kind of “judge” on a TV show: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Rinder.

Indeed, Rinder, a Jewish barrister, has never held himself out as ever having been a real judge.

So much for tweeter Toby Earle, “@TobyOnTV”, who, on his Twitter/”X” profile, describes himself as “TV critic and broadcaster“. Cannot even get basic facts right. All too typical of many today, even outside the realm of Twitter/”X”.

Walker obviously missed the few tiny demonstrations by supporters of the Jew-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” cabal several years ago, which despite having involved only 50-100 Jews, were presented in much of the Press as having involved several hundreds (I think that one or two newspapers even claimed 1,000+!).

Also, whatever Walker or the Guardian may prefer to believe, the ULEZ nonsense is obviously extremely unpopular.

London’s air was of pretty poor quality back in the 1970s, but is far better now. ULEZ is the wrong policy at the wrong time.

When pregnant, the cells of the baby migrate into the mothers bloodstream and then circle back into the baby, it’s called “fetal-maternal microchimerism”.⁠

For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born, many of these cells stay in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the mothers tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades.

Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body, too. Even if a pregnancy doesn’t go to full term or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream. Research has shown that if a mother’s heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the site of the injury and change into different types of cells that specialize in mending the heart. The baby helps repair the mother, while the mother builds the baby. How cool is that?

This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant. It’s incredible how mothers bodies protect the baby at all costs, and the baby protects & rebuilds the mother back – so that the baby can develop safely and survive. Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby made them crave? Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mothers brain 18 years after she gave birth. How amazing is that?” If you’re a mom you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they are not there….Well, now there is scientific proof that moms carry them for years and years even after they have given birth to them. I find this to be so very beautiful.”

A new school for 1,100 students opened in Mariupol The modern building was built by specialists of the RF Ministry of Defense in just six months. The school has already been named one of the best in the country in terms of equipment.

Today, 450 children sat down at their desks, but classes will be replenished throughout the year. Children have already been given new educational literature, hot meals have been organized according to Russian standards. It is also reported that in addition to basic education, students will be able to receive additional education: a complex of various circles is being opened at the school.

Mariopol/Mariupol, where there was such devastation only 18 months ago. Human beings can be incredible. See also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/.

What a surprise (not): German people prefer not to be on the receiving end of a Russian nuclear attack, particularly if the only reason for that were to be further German arming of the brutal, corrupt, and shambolic Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.

The topic of Ukraine has dropped to 4th place in terms of importance for the Germans , follows from the ARD-Deutschlandtrend poll.

Only 9% of Germans called Ukraine the most important topic that the government should deal with. 28% of Germans believe that the authorities should take care of the economy. 26% consider migrants and refugees to be an important topic. 18% are concerned about the environment and climate. And only 9% named the topic of Ukraine as important. Despite the fact that in April there were 25% of such people.”

The information about the exhaustion of the conscription contingent in Ukraine and the gradual lifting of restrictions on the total conscription of the male population is again confirmed.

According to the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Danilov, in the country, limitedly suitable men can mobilize into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, “but there are certain nuances.”

According to the head of the National Security and Defense Council, it is necessary “to give an interpretation of who is conditionally fit, where people who have such an order in their documents can be used.” So that there is no double interpretation of the norm, in the near future “this issue will be resolved.”

As previously blogged, the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder, having lost perhaps 450,000 soldiers killed, wounded, or captured over the past 18 months.

Interesting to consider the question of whether the students and others will (finally?) wake up to the consequences of importing millions of useless and unwanted blacks and browns. Or will they, like the “refugees welcome” dimwits, simply say that the (inevitable) consequences of such importation are actually just the fault of “the Tories” for not having built millions of houses and flats (with magic money) to house the invaders in the English suburbs and countryside?

Via microchips under the skin. Anyone “refusing” (not complying) will not be arrested or prosecuted, but will simply find it more and more difficult to access means of travel, hotels, jobs, banking services —including debit cards etc, which will probably also be only via sub-dermal microchip(s—, and even basic foods and other goods. The few percent of people unwilling to comply at all will be marginalized, outcasts, to an extent greater even than “down-and-outs” or the homeless today.

Think that it will be easy to refuse? Think again. The well-known journalist etc, Peter Hitchens, was one of the loudest UK voices against the “Covid” “vaccine” “jabs” (injections). His column thundered against the so-called “vaccines”. However, once he wanted to travel by air and found that, at that time, proof of “vaccination” was required, he caved in and received the “vaccine” into his body.

Evil drones such as that WEF conspirator in the video clip above are, however, as mortal as you and me. As people now tend to say, “just sayin’“…

Hypocrisy; almost on an “Emma Thompson” level.

Fight this now, while you still can, or at least while you still can without using Kalashnikovs.

Bravo! Why has the UK no conventional politicians of her kind? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Anderson.

I hope not. If it were to happen, it would quite likely slide into a nuclear exchange. Britain, as the USA’s “unsinkable aircraft carrier“, would be one of the worst-hit parts of the world.

Staff colleges in the 1960s/1970s (including the UK’s Staff College, and the Soviet Army General Staff Military Academy etc), wargamed this. A “limited” nuclear exchange always led to an all-out strategic exchange.

Even we, the few social-nationalists (in the UK), are completely unready for the aftermath of that. It might be the opportunity to eliminate the forces and cohorts of evil within UK society, but we have not the means with which to do that, not as things stand, even were we (and the enemies) to survive the large-scale war devastation.

I have to admit that I did not know that Jews confined to the area of Warsaw called the Jewish Ghetto in the early 1940s had tram services, though I knew that there were trams running outside and close to its boundaries.

During SMO artillery means, especially from the Russian side, again proved to be a key component of the armed forces. The general reliance on the type of artillery, the intensive use of cannons, howitzers, multi-barreled launchers and mortars, as well as the high level of destruction caused by their effects, represent an important characteristic that distinguishes this conflict from almost all wars fought at the beginning of the 21st century. Russian artillerymen justified the nickname “god of war”, which their army has been carrying for almost 80 years.”

Russians have always valued artillery, sometimes described as “our mother guns“…

Chief of Ukrainian military intelligence: We could hardly do without Western weapons.

It would be very difficult for Ukraine to continue the fight without military assistance from the West, said the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, on Friday. ” It would be difficult, very difficult. There is no need to elaborate, it would be very difficult ,” he said in an interview for the 1+1 television channel.

Budanov also asserted that “there is no reason to fear that arms deliveries will be completely suspended”. Commenting on Western criticism that Ukraine’s counter-offensive is proceeding too slowly, Budanov pointed out that it is not being carried out for Kyiv’s partners.

The message (though not the one the Kiev regime wanted to give) is plain— the war would stop shortly after the EU, UK, and USA stop giving arms, ammunition, money etc to Zelensky’s cabal.

Just do it; take away Zelensky’s ricebowl.

Ukraine war

Happened to listen to BBC Radio 4 Today Programme for a few minutes in the car. A correspondent was talking about the drone attacks on Moscow, and saying that prior to the Russian invasion, there had been no attacks, and so these attacks were happening only because of the Russian invasion.

Superficially true, in that Russia proper was never attacked before the invasion of early 2022, but what was not mentioned was the 8 years of artillery bombardment (and bombing) of the Russian-speaking and/or pro-Russian areas of formerly-Ukraine territory, particularly Donetsk, starting in 2014.

I waited to hear who was giving what was basically a lying-by-omission account of things. Turned out that it was “Steve Rosenberg, Russia Editor“. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Rosenberg]. What a surprise. Or not.

Soap alibi

I notice that some of my oldest and also least-read blog posts received hits today. One, written in 2018, was this little anecdote about my Bar pupillage in 1992: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/06/19/home-and-away-or-neighbours/

Ostalgie?

I visited Poland several times in the late 1980s, spending maybe 2 months or so there altogether. I also once spent a few days travelling by car from Poland to West Germany, so I saw small parts of the southern regions of the DDR (East Germany) at that time (summer 1988). I have blogged about it previously. A strange-seeming society, very very different from the Bundesrepublik (West Germany).

The DDR was a very controlled group-dictatorship: rule by the few (Communists), of course, and in most respects the DDR was very inferior to the Bundesrepublik, but the situation was not entirely black and white. Few things are.

The Ukrainian army will begin to lose control over the situation along the entire front, as is the case in the Kharkiv region, former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter wrote in an article for Sputnik. “The thinning of Ukrainian defense lines has provided Russian forces with new opportunities.” This resulted in great successes in the area of ​​Kupjansk. The armed forces of Ukraine will continue to weaken as they suffer losses, and gaps will appear in their defense that the Russian army can use to break through,” the expert predicts.”

Black Africa. That’s where the wealth goes— into the pockets of a few corrupt bastards…

There can be little doubt that, as the Ukrainian (Kiev regime) counter-offensive is failing, the air war is heating up. If Russia keeps getting attacked from the air, even if only by drones, the response may be devastating.

Once again, a victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 4/10 this week, but I trumped that with 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 4, and 7. Incidentally, question 1 may be a misprint (not sure).

A reminder that “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch) is still in prison for exercizing his rights to freedom of expression, and likely to remain incarcerated until some date in 2024.

The tweet below relates to the fund set up to help him both in prison and upon his release.

I read somewhere or other that he is not now at Swansea Prison but at another Welsh prison, HMP Parc: https://hmpparc.co.uk/. His prisoner number will be the same (see tweet above), and should be part of any letter or postcard address.

In fact, Osborne is only a part-Jew, according to modern genetics. There is no need for us to follow the backward tribal precepts from thousands of years ago which “they” follow, i.e. that someone is “Jewish” if the mother was (designated as) “Jewish”.

Anyone who expects a better government under Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, is sadly deluded.

…and look who scribbles in support of Starmer and Osborne; none other than the Jew Finkelstein, now elevated to the completely degenerate House of Lords.

The word marked out on the ground is a rude one.

She should, however, not be in the UK at all.

As blogged previously, Sarah Mould was “lucky in her jury”. She may have been acquitted by such a (Lincolnshire) jury, but she remains guilty, in my view. From what I have read, she put up a very good tearful act in the witness box.

The old Jew conspirator obviously either knows or believes that Europe is going to be written off by the transnational conspiracy (NWO/ZOG), and so any further payments in Europe would be wasted. This is a very significant straw in the wind.

NATO has lost hope in the victory of Ukraine, said retired British colonel Richard Kemp.

In an article he wrote for The Telegraph, commenting on the statement by NATO Secretary General Styan Jensen’s chief of staff that Ukraine could join the North Atlantic Alliance if it cedes territory to Russia, Kemp assessed that this was a factual admission of how the West sees the solution to the conflict in Ukraine: “It seems that the leading Western countries want to sell Ukraine cheaply and as soon as possible.”

The British officer added that the West – just two years after its shameful withdrawal from Afghanistan – is “once again on the verge of admitting defeat”.”

A pro-Israel propagandist. To my mind, a very sinister individual. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kemp.

The fact that Kemp is speaking out in such terms as above-noted may indicate a System worry that the “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) cause may have lost the support of the public, if not to a pro-Russian position then to an unbiased and/or apathetic view.

Also, Kemp’s comments may indicate that some decision-makers in the West have come to the view that Zelensky’s corrupt, shambolic, and brutal dictatorship cannot win, strategically, against Russia in Ukrainian (or former Ukrainian) territory, let alone on the territory of Russia itself.

Nadine Dorries

Seems that that useless expenses freeloader, Nadine Dorries, is actually going to stand down. In a way, slightly surprising. I thought that she might try to hang on until 2024 and the next general election.

The bigger question is how she, and literally hundreds of other totally stupid and ignorant MPs (not only “Conservative” one; Labour and LibDem and SNP ones too) ever became MPs (let alone ministers) in the first place. My question is of course rhetorical; the whole pseudo-democratic system is broken.

Nadine Dorries. A complete deadhead.

That tweet refers to some of the semi-fraudulent behaviours of Nadine Dorries, such as paying at least one of her (unqualified) daughters about £50,000 a year via Parliamentary expenses, and the misuse of a flat (also paid for via expenses) in which said daughter(s) lived for free for years. Not to mention “grifted” laptops, iphones etc.

I think that it is true for most MPs. The rest may be more honest (possibly) but many even of those are irredeemably ignorant and/or stupid, which is no better, surely…

Once American society collapses, it will probably never recover, because the bulk of the population exists on such a low cultural and intellectual level. Not just “prejudice”…I have both lived there and worked there.

Yes, there are exceptions. A small minority of people; maybe 2% or 3%.

Europe is under attack both in terms of demographics and in terms of culture.

The above map shows the situation from about 1989-2022. The next 33-year cycle, up to about 2055, will result in even greater and even less-welcome changes in the European space, unless something can be done to prevent them.

I agree with him.

Polly Toynbee represents a certain bloc of voters, though a small one; the “Labour”/LibDem bien-pensants of Blackheath, Hampstead, and Highgate who actually read not only the Guardian but also Observer, who mock the poorer British people concerned about, inter alia, migration-invasion, crime, and houses given to useless migrant-invaders and/or other blacks, browns and feral white hordes while real British people suffer.

That bloc either went to Oxford or Cambridge, or failing that to Durham University or Exeter, and want their children and grandchildren to go there (before joining the BBC, Foreign Office or maybe SIS, or becoming barristers, solicitors or doctors). Oh, and of course profess “liberal” values that are rooted not really in philosophy or ideology, but more in family trust funds, high salaries, and ownership of houses…

For as long as I can remember, Polly Toynbee has been the standard-bearer for that bloc, and wrong most (90%+) of the time.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/general-election-sunak-tories-polls-red-wall-b2396272.html

The Tories are facing electoral oblivion in the red wall as a shock poll reveals they will lose every single seat.

Polling from Electoral Calculus, shared with The Independent, reveals all 42 red wall seats held by the Conservatives are set to return to Labour at the next general election.

The scale of the rebellion against the government appears to in part be driven by the spiralling cost of living, with a separate analysis seen by The Independent showing the crisis is having a devastating impact on Tory-held seats in the red wall.

Almost two-thirds of voters believe the economy to be one of the top three issues facing the country, putting it significantly ahead of health and immigration, YouGov polling shows.

…while the economic figures “underline” the struggle in voters in those areas for the Conservatives, the prospect of the party holding on to power in the general election is already “not likely”.

Nationally, Electoral Calculus predicts a landslide Labour victory, winning around 460 seats, with the Conservatives reduced to just 90 seats.”

[The Independent]

A loss of the 42 “Red Wall” seats (which seems almost inevitable after the total collapse of the Government’s credibility on immigration and health) cannot be prevented even were the economy overall to improve. Any such improvement is unlikely to trickle down (to coin a phrase) to most of the people in those 42 areas.

In theory, the Conservative Party could lose all 42 “Red Wall” seats and still have a Commons majority of 35-40, but in reality the Government’s standing is so damaged across the country that the best that they can hope for, and at present even that seems unlikely.

Not that there is —or will be— much enthusiasm for Labour under Starmer, Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, but there is really no reason why one-time Labour voters who voted Con in 2019 would go out and vote Con in 2024; none at all. Indeed, there is little incentive even for long-term Conservative Party voters to do so. That being so, Labour may well triumph by default.

Russia needs to secure all territory east of the Dnieper, and also the coastal littoral of the Black Sea (including Odessa) but, above all, Kiev itself. Confine the Zelensky regime to a rump inland “state” based on Lvov.

Historical note

The Bürgerbräukeller, Munich, in or about 1923, shown above presumably before rather than after the “Beer Hall Putsch” (8-9 November 1923 :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch).

The photo shows a meeting of the NSDAP. All those shown in the photo were members or supporters of the NSDAP.

What interests me is that, at that time, the NSDAP was a relatively minor party even in its hub, Bavaria (in early 1923, the national membership was about 6,000, and by the Autumn of 1923 about 20,000).

In May 1924, i.e. after the failure of the “Beer Hall Putsch” (aka “Munich Putsch” or “Hitler-Ludendorff Putsch), the NSDAP (banned, so using the name “National Socialist Freedom Movement”) scored only 6.5% in the federal (national) elections, and only 3% in December 1924.

In 1923-1924, the NSDAP had the sort of minor public support that, in the UK of the 21st Century, UKIP was enjoying about a decade ago, and that the BNP had about 15 years ago.

All the same, look at that photograph of the NSDAP meeting in 1923. Many hundreds of people, at the least. All looking decently-dressed.

One cannot but help compare that to the tiny so-called “far-right” (national and social-national) parties of today’s Britain.

The main difference politically between Germany in 1923 and Britain in 2023 is, that in 1923 Germany, there were large numbers of Germans of all social and income groups who supported the idea of national renewal. The NSDAP may only have had a few thousand or tens of thousands of members, but other volkisch parties and groups, such as, and primarily, the Stahlhelm, had the same or more, in some cases hundreds of thousands: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Stahlhelm,_Bund_der_Frontsoldaten.

Look now at Britain in 2023. The degenerate strata of higher-income and high-social-status groups do not, generally, support national renewal, but are (metaphorically) signed up to the trends which are destroying our society (and now destroying it quite rapidly).

What that means is that, should social-nationalism, by a political miracle (which I do not rule out) take power in this country, it will have to start its mission by removing surgically, and by drastic surgery, large sections of degenerate society, at all income and social-status levels.

Unless a nuclear missile lands on Kiev one day.

So the “Conservative” Party has now alienated the” “young” generally (maybe 90% of those under 30), the working families, the unemployed, most voters under 60, both those who support “refugees” incoming and also those who do not want more migrant-invaders, those renting properties because unable to buy, those wanting clean rivers and other environmental improvements, and now those who are sick and/or disabled and who are not already anti-Con.

Many, perhaps most, of those getting disability benefits are over 60, i.e. the only demographic until recently still supporting the Conservative Party.

The trend of things electoral seems to be that the hard core of Conservative Party support for the expected 2024 General Election will be persons over 60 who 1. have no opinion either way about the migration invasion, who 2. are homeowners without any mortgage obligation, who 3. are not short of money, 4. who do not receive any State benefits at all (beyond the State Pension itself), and 5. who do not object to a government (at Cabinet level) largely composed of non-whites.

There is at least a possibility that Sunak will suspend the Triple Lock on State pensions, as he did when Chancellor. As I predicted on the blog at the time, that first decision cut away the bedrock of pensioner electoral support for (and trust in) the Conservative Party; the fall in Con Party fortunes dates from that time a couple of years ago.

I begin to think that Sunak will be lucky to keep even 20% of the popular vote, though I still see Labour as not offering anything much to the British people (and, after all, Starmer’s policies are not, in reality, going to be much different to those of Sunak).

I should think that, despite the fact that the Sunak government is doomed, the next election in terms of seats will be decided by many voters making their decision in the final days of the campaign.

I did not know that he was still around; I recall reading his book, Coup d’Etat, around 1978. Some British Army fellow “borrowed” it, and I was unable to get it back.

It is a notorious fact that armies and states often prepare to fight the last war, the war already fought. In 1939, Poland collapsed within 5 weeks after powerful German forces invaded from the west, indeed from west, north, and south simultaneously on and after 1 September 1939.

The Polish forces were hopelessly outmanouvered and outgunnned. They withdrew to the southeast, only to be outplayed when Soviet forces invaded from the easterly direction on 17 September 1939. Faced with attacks from all sides, the Poles had no choice but to surrender de facto by 6 October 1939, though there never was a formal surrender.

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

Notoriously, the Poles, in one famous engagement, made a hopeless cavalry charge against the latest German tanks. The Germans were fighting (as it turned out) the Second World War, whereas the Poles were using the tactics not even of the First World War but of the 19th Century.

Scrolling on to 2023, we see the Polish Army more powerful than it has been for centuries, but its strength lies in armour, and in numbers. Second World War strengths. The Russians may or may not be able to equal that, not without general mobilization, but Russia also has well over 6,000 nuclear weapons of various kinds, mostly missiles. Nuclear missiles (etc) against tanks?

The old Soviet Union also had “suitcase bombs”, capable of destroying city centres to a diameter of perhaps two miles. Does Russia have a similar programme now? I do not know, but would not bet against it.

What is disturbing at present is that, even more than in 1939, the war drums are beating far louder than the plaintive cries for peace.

Not just in Poland and Ukraine, but across the world, especially in the USA and UK, and in the EU.

It is a warning, “a shot across the bow”. The fastest, most advanced Russian missiles, with nuclear warheads, cannot be intercepted at present. Stop fuelling the Kiev regime, stop getting entangled in war with Russia.

Damn. For the second time recently, political journalist John Rentoul beat my score (which has happened only very rarely over the past several years). This week, he scored 8/10 as against my 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 6, and 10.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/11/zelenskiy-sacks-all-military-recruitment-heads-over-frontline-bribes-scandal-ukraine

As not infrequently noted on the blog, Ukraine now has few domestic volunteers willing to go to near-certain death or serious injury at the front. Likewise, few foreign adventurers are now willing to risk it, whether for misguided idealism, for thrills, or for —relatively paltry— money.

Many Ukrainians are trying to evade conscription, and/or to get across the borders of Ukraine (forbidden to most men 18+ in age). Meanwhile, Kiev-regime press-gangs are now scouring the streets trying to find draft-dodgers. The wealthier evaders are willing to pay plenty for an exemption document, which might also allow them to escape the country.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12399127/President-Zelensky-takes-Ukraine-war-Russia-Moscow-Kyiv-engage-tit-tat-drone-missile-strikes.html

Ukraine and Russia have engaged in tit-for-tat drone and missile attacks as their war of attrition intensifies.

President Volodymyr Zelensky is increasingly taking the war to Russia, with fresh strikes on Moscow yesterday.

Earlier this month, Ukrainian drones damaged government offices in the capital, and on Thursday Russia said it downed two drones headed for Moscow, a day after two others were destroyed on approach. Targets yesterday included the west of the capital near the Karamyshinsky hydroelectric power station.

The attacks led to the closure of airspace over Moscow’s Vnukovo international airport and Kaluga city, 125 miles to the south west.

At least two drones were reported, with one filmed buzzing the Russian capital. A drone was said to have been shot down by Russia. There were also reports of an explosion in Krasnogorsk in north-west Moscow.

[Daily Mail]

Should the Russian leadership so decide, Kiev and all other Ukrainian cities can be razed to the ground, either via nuclear attack or via conventional missiles, bombs etc. That would be a terrible thing, and bitter for both sides, but the Kiev regime is playing with fire.

After the 2020-2022 years of police-state “lockdowns”, stupid “anti-virus” measures such as the facemask nonsense and the ludicrous “Rule of Six”, and the NHS leaving millions to “die on the vine” without medical or dental services, not many will feel sorry for doctors who, even the junior ones, get paid more than most British people. Many of the doctors are also from affluent backgrounds, as is the one featured in that Daily Mail report.

You only have to look at the bitch in question (one Pamela Mattinson, of Bolton, Lancashire): dressed in exercise clothing even at court, and a grandmother at the age of 48 (though looking 70 years old)… a “chavscum” grandmother.

Oh…and of course (needless to add) she has “issues” with alcoholism and her “mental health”…drinking vodka in the middle of the day…

Look at her with (I presume) her equally “chavscum” daughter, smirking on the steps of the court.

Rhetorically, one might ask why her sentence was suspended, but these days, in England, you rarely get a prison sentence unless you murder someone, or publish something that the Jewish lobby does not like.

Britain now has millions of feral and useless persons of that sort. The country needs to be cleansed.

At least the kitten recovered and was rehomed, but the bitch who tried to kill it has not been suitably punished, not at all.

This is not simply a report about an abused kitten, nor even about one wicked woman and her probably-equally-unpleasant family, but also the context of a whole stratum of society that should be straightened out or eliminated.

That first tweeter, “Mariken”, is very typical of many naive “Jack Monroe” supporters. Even after the past year or more of gradually-intensifying exposure of the “grift” and outright fraud by “Jack Monroe” (one or two mild assessments were even published in the Guardian and Daily Mail), “Mariken” obviously has no idea at all. Amusingly, her Twitter profile says “Animal lover. Hate corruption and liars“, yet here she is lauding psycho liar “Jack Monroe”, who also killed at least one or two domestic animals by wilful neglect or worse.

You could hardly make it up— the silly woman thinks that “Jack Monroe” is “a great role model“! What part of constant lying, “grift”, theft, fraud, and the harassment of both critics and disenchanted donors (etc) does “Mariken” fail to understand? Not to mention alcohol and drug abuse, and the profligate spending of other people’s money (etc).

America, “land of freedom”…

Yes. Starmer stands for nothing, basically, except of course being even more of an Israel/Jewish-lobby puppet than (inter alia) David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, Liz Truss, or “Boris” idiot. As previously said on the blog, Labour also now stands for absolutely nothing, unless it is the parody “we can run workhouses better” (etc).

As against that, the present “Conservative” government has taken “Boris”-idiot’s “omnishambles” to a whole new level. Even its own MPs are now loud in condemnation of its total incompetence. The Con MPs hoping to stay on as MPs, that is; many others are already in the lifeboats as the Con ship sinks in the opinion polls.

My assessment at present is that there is no enthusiasm for Labour (beyond the usual Twitter drones). Labour is up because the Con Party and its misgovernment are down, purely that.

On the above premises, while the Sunak government is obviously doomed, it may not be quite as doomed as presently appears. If the economy (the real economy, for the average Joe) improves a little, if inflation falls at the same time, i.e. over the next 6-9 months, and if that average Joe, and Josephine, feel apathetic or so-so rather than actually angry about the present government, then they may just stick with Con rather than defect to LibDem or Lab.

If enough of them do that, in marginal seats, then the prospect of a 1997-style Labour landslide (seats, not the popular vote) may just disappear like a mirage. We may then be back in hung Parliament territory.

The failure of Europe to keep pace with America has taken its toll on living standards. The average EU country is now poorer per head than every state in America bar Idaho and Mississippi.

The latter, the poorest state in the Union, is often referred to as America’s Third World but — with an average per capita annual income of $50,000 — the citizens of Mississippi are better off than their counterparts in France.”

[Daily Mail]

While I am no fan of the EU, the above is a typical example of how journalists twist the facts. Yes, per capita, France is “poorer” than Mississippi, but that is merely a headline figure.

In France, citizens get free and, until recently, quite good education, not only free at primary and secondary level, but also at tertiary level— universities, les grand ecoles, institutes etc. In Mississippi, higher education has to be paid for, either in cash or via student loans.

In France, medical and dental care of high quality is available via a hybrid State insurance system with a safety net for the unemployed, elderly etc. Hospital wards were done away with 40+ years ago. In Mississippi, there are areas without much healthcare at all and, despite Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare etc, health insurance is almost essential, if you or your employer can afford it.

Then there is the finance-capitalist system generally, and how it results in inequality of capital and income. In France, despite inequalities, there are relatively few people in grinding poverty; not so in Mississippi, where the top few percent take most of the money.

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/23686626.residents-gobsmacked-horse-carts-race-bournemouth/

Residents ‘gobsmacked’ as horse and carts race through Bournemouth.

Footage sent to the Echo shows youths sat on the back of a cart attached to horses in the Lower Gardens, underneath the flyover at Pier Approach. 

Concerned residents feared there could have been injuries or even a fatality if the horses had hit somebody, so phoned the police.

One resident, who asked to remain unnamed, was walking around the town when he came across the bizarre sight on Saturday, July 22.

I was just concerned because had there been a little child, or pet, or mother with a pram came running down, the horse would have gone into them and there could have been a fatality.’

The man said it was the first time he had seen anything similar in more than 30 years of living in Bournemouth.

However, he didn’t want people to have negative attitudes towards travellers.

[Bournemouth Echo].

Isn’t that so typical of England in 2023? Nuisances, in this case “travellers” (Irish “tinker” “gypsies”), make life difficult and less pleasant (and potentially dangerous) for normal citizens, but nothing is done about them, the police do nothing, and even the concerned citizen who reported them felt obliged to say that no-one should have “negative attitudes” towards the nuisance group.

The System propaganda, endlessly pumped out by most msm outlets, by schools, by the churches (what’s left of them), and by MPs (especially Labour ones) has seeped into the thinking of many many people.

When I started this blog, nearly 7 years ago, I thought that the UK could be saved; now, I feel less sure every day.

HS2 was a wrongheaded concept anyway. The high-speed train idea is OK in much larger countries such as France or China, or very elongated countries, such as Japan. Chile would be ideal. Not in the UK, unless the train were to go London to Scotland, or maybe to Penzance; the present plan is London to Manchester via Birmingham.

The Eastern route (to Leeds) has gone. There never was a Cornish route, and anyway the existing rail line would not be strong enough to take such trains beyond Exeter.

The HS2 project should have been scrapped a decade ago, and the money spent on providing more services and more branch lines in the North.

As it is, the project will be delivered in the 2030s (maybe), at ruinous expense, at ruinous environmental cost. Already the construction has scarred the landscape, destroyed ancient woodland etc.

[HS2 ground preparation scars the landscape near Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, in 2021]

All so that a train currently taking 1 hr 22mins to Birmingham will take 52 mins in the future, a saving of 30 mins. Oddly, the reduction in (fastest) travel time to Manchester will be less— 1 hr 40 mins instead of 1 hr 54 mins, a saving of only 14 minutes.

It is just not worth the money and the environmental damage.

“Lionesses”

Speaking of System propaganda…

The public are currently subjected to endless propaganda for the LGBTQXYZ agenda, masquerading as “sports news”.

I switched on BBC TV News recently, for the first time in a while, only to find that most of the broadcast was taken up with a report about some women’s football game in Denmark.

Women’s football is being heavily pushed by the “usual suspects”. No-one had even heard of women’s football a few years ago, not as a mass spectator sport. It now turns out that many of the women footballers are lesbians.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12350321/These-female-footballers-lighting-World-Cup-superb-skills-field-love-lives-adding-drama.html.

I myself am, in any case, not a sports fan, but the propaganda is just so blatant. Is that why most people do not notice it? It hides in plain sight.

This sort of nonsense is, like all the “anti-racism” stuff, and the “blacks with everything” agenda, part of a larger conspiratorial picture: see, e.g., https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/10/tv-ads-and-soaps-are-the-propaganda-preferred-by-the-system-in-the-uk/.

Either Israel will eventually be hit by nuclear missiles from Iran or elsewhere, or it will fall apart internally, and then be subject to an uprising by the ~7,500,000 Palestinian Arabs who live at present corralled in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank areas, and inside the boundaries of Israel itself. The Arabs, as a population, number about the same, or only slightly fewer, than the Jews living in Israel.

If he were not so evidently mendacious and evil, Zelensky could simply be called an idiot. Imagine claiming to want a “peace plan” without the participation of the main player!

Dangerous territory both metaphorically and literally. If PMC Wagner were to attack Poland, that would presumably be taken to be an incident triggering Article 5 of the NATO Treaty (because presumably an action ordered by the Russian Government). Likewise, were Polish forces to attack official Russian or Belarusian forces, or to enter Ukrainian territory, there might be direct conflict between Polish and Russian forces, also probably triggering Article 5.

Sensible heads must rethink this conflict, and especially the increasingly frenetic NATO aid to the Kiev regime, before all Europe goes up in flames.

The three by-elections of 20 July 2023

Uxbridge and South Ruislip

The result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uxbridge_and_South_Ruislip_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

As I predicted on the blog a couple of days ago, this was a “battle of the apathies”. Complete “Conservative” omnishambles meets Labour mediocrity (both on the national and constituency levels).

The successful Conservative candidate drew a veil over both the non-performance of the Rishi Sunak government and the egregiously poor behaviour (and capabilities) of ex-MP “Boris” Johnson; the candidate just kept hitting at the ridiculous Sadiq Khan ULEZ scheme [“Ultra Low Emission Zone”], and saying very little else about anything.

In a sense that concentration on ULEZ shows how meaningless the supposed “democracy” of the UK now is. The ULEZ idea and policy was first mooted by none other than “Boris”-idiot and the Conservative Party in London. Quite apart from that, the new Con Party MP, one Steve Tuckwell [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Tuckwell] will be able to exercise precisely zero influence over the ULEZ scheme and Sadiq Khan.

The Labour Party candidate, Danny Beales, was arguably not a good candidate in the particular constituency, an outer London suburb. Gay, a former councillor in inner-city Camden, and a graduate of the London School of Economics.

That said, the result was close— 495 votes decided it. Both the LibDem voters (526, fifth place), and/or the Green Party voters (893, third place), had they voted tactically, could have prevented the narrow Con Party victory. Neither Greens nor LibDems had a chance of winning, and both lost their deposits, along with the other 13 candidates, all of whom could be described as either “minor” or “joke” candidates.

The actor Laurence Fox, for Reclaim, did well, in a minor way, to come fourth, not far behind the Green. Still, this was really between Con Party (13,965 votes, 45.2%) and Labour (13,470, 43.6%). The other 15 parties and independents only scored 11.2% between them.

It does puzzle me why LibDem voters in particular did not all vote tactically. Some did, plainly, looking at previous election results where the LibDem vote was higher by far (peaking at 20% in 2010, though only 6.3% in 2019), but not enough.

Why did 526 LibDems bother to trot down to vote, knowing that their candidate had no chance? Even if they hated both Con and Lab, and so were unwilling to vote for either, why bother to vote? As someone said of golf, “a good walk spoiled“.

So a Conservative Party win, though scarcely a ringing endorsement.

Turnout was about 2/3 of that in 2019, and indeed the previous elections. I am assuming from that that many former Conservative voters, in what was since creation in 2010 a fairly safe Conservative seat (a new seat on these boundaries), just threw up their hands in disgust at both main System parties, could find no other home for their votes, and so “voted with their feet”— abstained.

Selby and Ainsty

The result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selby_and_Ainsty_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The successful Labour candidate is 25, once again (like the Labour candidate at Uxbridge) gay (seems that it is almost compulsory now in the Labour Party), and has only worked for 18 months since leaving university. Interestingly, those 18 months were spent working at the Confederation of British Industry, a more usual place in which to find young Conservatives, surely?

Also, he spent some months in 2019 and 2020 working with Wes Streeting, the “centrist” (Labour Friends of Israel) MP. So it seems that Keir Mather will fit easily into the Keir Starmer Labour Party. Not much else is yet known about him: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Mather.

Why did Mather win what had previously been regarded as a safe Conservative seat? As at Uxbridge, the implication is surely obvious: former Conservative voters were appalled at both major System parties, and so preferred to stay home rather than vote Labour (or elsewhere).

Mather scored 46% of the overall vote, as against 34.3% scored by his Con Party opponent.

Since the creation of the seat in 2010, the Conservative Party had won easily all elections, scoring between 49.4% (2010) and 60.3% (2019). Labour, however, had scored only around 25% of the vote, except in 2017, under Corbyn, when the Labour Party candidate managed over 34%.

The key here, as with Uxbridge, lies in the turnout. The by-election turnout was only 44.8%, whereas in 2019 it was 71.7% (and in previous elections, not dissimilar).

The implication, again, as at Uxbridge, is that former Conservative Party voters, in a formerly safe Conservative area, simply decided not to vote.

There was obviously a degree of tactical voting at Selby; the LibDem vote went down from 8.6% to 3.3%; without tactical voting, the result would have been much closer but not, in my view, different.

Incidentally, the LibDems only managed sixth place, no doubt because many otherwise LibDems voted Labour. The third place went to the Greens, whose candidate was the only one of the minor candidates to save his deposit (5.1%).

I was interested to see that a “Yorkshire Party” candidate, one Mike Jordan, who failed to fill in his nomination papers properly and so was a blank space (not even “Independent”) on the ballot paper, yet managed to score 4.2%. Not bad in the circumstances, and maybe a sign that localism, or at least regionalism, may be resurgent as central government falters and fails.

The Selby contest had other things in common with that at Uxbridge— contempt for the former MP (at Selby, he had stepped down apparently in order to damage Sunak and his party, and after having been passed over for a peerage); the fact that both seats were 2010 creations on their present boundaries; and of course the fact that the public are both despairing and angry at the overall non-performance by Sunak and his Cabinet. Mass immigration, migration invasion, cost of living increases, inflation, crime, NHS defaults etc.

The result was that Labour won at Selby, and very nearly won at Uxbridge, only by default. There is no enthusiasm at all for the Labour Party and its non-policies (basically the same as the Conservative Party policies), but equally there is no enthusiasm (and no respect) for Sunak and his Cabinet of (mainly) non-Brits (Indians, a black or half-caste or two, the odd Jew). These were by-elections. The ruling party is inevitably on the back foot.

Starmer’s strategy seems to be not to rock the boat now that Labour is ahead in the opinion polls. It is hard for Sunak and Con Party to score a hit on Labour’s battleship simply because Labour policy now so closely mirrors that of the Con Party. Almost indistinguishable. If the Conservative Party attacks Labour policy, it is to a large extent criticizing its own policy. In a sense, brilliant… but also dispiriting and pointless.

Somerton and Frome

The result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerton_and_Frome_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The LibDem candidate, Sarah Dyke [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Dyke] won easily, as predicted. I blogged briefly about her a couple of days ago. Her vote-share of 56.4%, as against the Conservative candidate’s 26.2%, mirrors in reverse almost exactly the result at the 2019 General Election.

Third place went to the Greens, with a fairly sizeable vote (10.2%). Reform UK beat Labour and three minor candidates for fourth place, but still lost the deposit, with 3.4%.

In a mostly affluent and bucolic area of this sort, Labour has little chance, and its vote has dropped below 5% in the past, though it scored 17.2% in 2017 (under Corbyn) and 12.9% in 2019. It is clear that, realising that Labour had no chance, former Labour voters voted tactically at the by-election, and that Labour’s 2.6% vote reflected that.

Turnout was, as at the other by-elections yesterday, pathetic— 44.23%. That compares to 75.6% in 2019, and turnouts in previous election which only once dropped below 70%, and which once exceeded 82%.

The LibDems held Somerton and Frome until 2015, so were always going to have a chance in the seat, once the “Con Coalition” of 2010-2015 faded from immediate memory, though the damage from that was still evident in 2019, at which election the LibDems scored only 26.2% (exactly the same as the Conservative Party vote at yesterday’s by-election).

The conclusion is pretty clear: the Conservative voters of 2019 either stayed home yesterday, or switched to the LibDems, Former Labour voters switched to LibDem to hit out at the Sunak misgovernment.

As at the other two by-elections, the contempt many apparently felt for the ex-MP, Warburton, was certainly another important factor, though perhaps not the most important.

Overall conclusion as to the main System parties in the light of the by-elections

The LibDems only have a chance to gain seats in rural/affluent parts of southern or south-western England. I do not see them recovering in any big way elsewhere.

The Conservative Party government is toast, surely. It will have to fall back on its hard core, mostly fairly comfortably-off homeowners aged 70+.

Electoral Calculus is currently predicting only 100 Con seats at the expected 2024 General Election: see https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/homepage.html.

475 seats for Labour. That is “elected dictatorship”.

I just tried the “user-defined poll” at Electoral Calculus. My guesses resulted in only 61 seats for the Conservative Party.

What about Labour? Well, I detect no real enthusiasm for Labour, which means that there is every chance that the new MP for Selby may only be an MP for about a year, and will then have to find a less well-paid and less interesting (?) job.

More seriously, the only way that Indian money-juggler Rishi Sunak could claw back some electoral support would be to STOP the boats, CUT BACK the main (i.e. “legal”) mass immigration, DEPORT hundreds of thousands, RENATIONALIZE water, rail and possibly the energy utilities, and start to really bat for Britain.

Those 2019 Conservative Party voters might return to the Con fold, but only if they see some action; words are played-out.

Still, none of the three by-election seats are natural Labour territory.

Pretty hard, though, for an Indian whose Cabinet is mainly non-white, or Jewish, and who worked for the predatory Goldman Sachs bankers (and so is a globalist “libertarian” by instinct).

It seems to me a 50-50 chance that the Conservative Party MPs will ditch Sunak before the next general election, but if they do, who on Earth can they try to present to the public as a credible leader?

As for attacking Starmer, the only things that might work would be to use American-style personal attacks, and to focus on his complete mendacity, his broken promises, on his “taking the knee” to the “Black Lives Matter” thugs, and his being completely in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby (the only thing is— so are the “Conservatives”…).

Conclusion, then— Labour will probably win in 2024 by default, but if some real movement on the above-designated issues were to happen, it might be a different story…

At least the sparrows will be eating.

There are really only two realistic possibilities: either she is Johnson’s secret daughter (one of them) or she was being screwed by him. It now turns out that she was only a kind of temp anyway, covering the job usually done by a recent mother. Maternity cover.

Britain is so screwed, it is hard to believe.

As for “Baroness” Chapman, she was an MP for 9 years (2010-2019), and then (having been voted out as MP) was elevated to the Lords on Starmer’s nomination, having previously done sweet FA by way of work in her life except a short time as the constituency manager for ghastly careerist MP Alan Milburn. So she can shut up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Chapman.

She is the mother of children, and that (and presumably being a “home-maker”) is a very honourable estate, but it is not the “real life experience” of work in the outer world, as per that clip.

As for Johnny Mercer MP, I have found him a big disappointment as MP, but I think that he can claim a great deal more “life experience” than “Baroness” Chapman, let alone that epicene little creature who is now the MP for Selby and Ainsty.

Many people on Twitter are incredibly ignorant and at the same time very dogmatic. I just saw a tweet saying that the Selby creature is “2-3 years older than Margaret Roberts [i.e. Margaret Thatcher] when she became an MP...”.

In fact, wrong, and on two counts. First, Margaret Roberts was born in 1925, and became an MP in 1959, shortly before her 34th birthday. She had married in 1951, so fought her first successful first election as Margaret Thatcher and not Margaret Roberts as claimed.

Well, there it is. Effete, epicene little “Labour MP” is going to support Starmer, Rachel Reeves etc in continuing the policy (policies?) laid down by the Con Coalition of David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, and now the Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

Anyone who thinks that Starmer-Labour will be in any way an improvement on the “Conservative” omnishambles of a Government is sadly mistaken; in fact, deluded.

Actually, listening to Keir Mather there, I think that “Lord Charles” would have sounded more credible.

[Lord Charles, with Ray Alan]

To be honest, my first thought on seeing and hearing Keir Mather is that he seemed to be in need of a good kick.
