[“You do know a Labour MP was just arrested on child sex charges don’t you? How many Labour MPs and councillors arrested so far in the last 12 months? 6! 4 of which are paedophiles. Labour MPs: 1.Dan Norris: On April 5, 2025, Dan Norris, the Labour MP for North East Somerset and Hanham, was arrested on suspicion of rape, child sexual offences, child abduction, and misconduct in public office. The allegations pertain to incidents from the 2000s and a rape allegation from the 2020s. Norris has been released on conditional bail while the investigation continues, and the Labour Party has suspended him, removing the party whip. 2.Mike Amesbury: In February 2025, Mike Amesbury, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, was jailed for 10 weeks after pleading guilty to assault by beating. The incident occurred in October 2024, and Amesbury was suspended by the Labour Party following his arrest. Labour Councillors: 1.Lee Laudat-Scott: In July 2024, Lee Laudat-Scott, a councillor in Hackney, resigned after being charged with sexually assaulting a child under 13. His arrest marked the second paedophile scandal in Hackney Council within a year. 2.Ricky Jones: In August 2024, Ricky Jones, a councillor in Dartford, was arrested and subsequently charged with encouraging violent disorder. This followed a speech he made at a counter-protest in Walthamstow, where he allegedly called for violence against far-right protesters. The Labour Party suspended him pending the outcome of legal proceedings. 3.David Graham: In early 2024, David Graham, a senior Labour councillor in Fife, Scotland, was arrested and charged with alleged child grooming offences. Following his arrest, the Labour Party suspended him, and he was due to appear in court at a later date. 4.Desmond Gibbons: In late 2024, Desmond Gibbons, a former Labour councillor on Gedling Borough Council, was sentenced to 21 months in prison after being found with over 600 indecent images of children, some as young as three years old. Gibbons had resigned from the Labour Party and his council position prior to his sentencing.“]

Interesting, but I am more interested in both the present main culture, i.e. our own, the “Germanic-Anglo-Saxon-American” (as Rudolf Steiner put it), and the next main culture (which still lies fifteen hundred years in the future), the Russian/Slavonic.
At present, the Russian culture is almost entirely a borrowing from older cultures, mainly the Graeco-Roman culture and our present “Western” culture, just as Northern Europe only had “borrowed” Graeco-Roman culture until around 1400 AD (or “CE”) and the eruption of the Renaissance, which was essentially a brief recapitulation of the Graeco-Roman age.
There are, as yet, only indications, seen here and there, of that future Russian culture.

Were there more limited foreign aid being sent, were vast sums not being wasted on the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, were there no migration invasion, were there few non-whites living here, and were the UK a fundamentally white European ethnostate, this country would be hugely better off in every way; not only economically but also socially and culturally.

The trade unions stopped standing up for British workers about 50 years ago, certainly 35 years ago. The unions moved to being just another load of “anti-racism” “anti-sexism” pro-immigration and pro-LGBTXYZ drones. As for supporting higher pay and better working conditions, forget it. The unions long ago stopped seriously pushing for those, and had no power to do so anyway. A waste of space.

The more that I think about the upcoming Runcorn and Helsby by-election, the more I think that Reform are going to smash it.
No matter that I could imagine Reform with a better candidate (someone such as Matt Goodwin), though the Reform candidate seems voter-acceptable, anyway. The important thing, surely, is the hatred so many people now feel for the main System parties and even more —because of the feeling of betrayal— from Labour (in fact much more than for the Conservatives who, despite their appalling record 2010-2024, are now seen as near-irrelevant, finished, washed-up).
That’s before you even factor-in the fact that the Conservative Party is now led by a Nigerian woman who also seems totally clueless. Also, Kemi Badenoch’s thunder (on social security, tax, spending cuts etc) has been stolen by Labour. Labour is just a label now, and is even less social, let alone socialist, than the Conservative Party.
For me, it is telling that the Labour candidate for the by-election is trying to ape Reform, demanding the closure of hotels occupied by migrant-invaders etc. It is clear that Labour considers Reform to be its main rival, and not only at Runcorn and Helsby.
In the past nearly 9 months, the Labour “brand” has been totally trashed. The whole population, I should have thought, has turned away from Labour. Pensioners, the young, anyone receiving any State benefit at all, anyone anti-migration invasion, anyone with any genuine feeling for the English countryside, will not be voting Labour.
The petty corruption and sleaze of the Labour Cabinet may be dwarfed by the corruption of the past years of “Con Party” misgovernment, but the point, I think, is that people, especially in the North of England, somehow expected Labour to be somehow better.
The sheer “we are the masters now” arrogance and callousness exhibited by Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Starmer-stein, and their lesser followers such as Torsten Bell, has disgusted millions.
People now, after only 9 months, see this Labour-label regime as being quite as bad, and in fact worse in every way, than those of 14 years of Conservative misgovernment.
I do not think that Labour’s appalling handling of foreign affairs (by thick “diversity-hire” Lammy, as well as by Starmer-stein himself) will count for much at the by-election, either way, but people can surely see that Starmer has made a fool of himself by threatening to send (almost non-existent) troops to Ukraine etc. That is so even for people who support the Kiev regime.
I think that important factors at the by-election will include the continuing migration-invasion, the petty sleaze and corruption of Labour’s top echelon, the hypocrisy of the same, the sense of Britain as a country sliding to chaos and even civil war (albeit not this year), the behaviour of the former Labour MP, the wish to give Labour a real kick and, perhaps most important, the sense of total betrayal by Labour.
At present, both polling orgs and bookmakers predict a modest or narrow win for Reform.
I may be wrong, but I think we could be looking at a huge win by Reform. A win in the region of as much as 50% or even 60% of the vote-share. Labour? Maybe 20%-30%. Cons? 10% or below; maybe even a lost deposit.
This might turn out to be a very significant by-election result. If Reform can win it, the win might pave the way for dozens of others in this Parliament.

[Philby on a 5-kopeck late-Soviet commemorative postage stamp, and described as “Soviet Razvedchik“, a term which might be translated as “intelligencer”, rather than the grubbier-sounding “spy” (in Russian, “shpion”); “razvedchik” is a more polite or dignified term]
“Secret surveillance of Britain’s notorious double agent, Kim Philby, made public for the first time in archived documents, reveals how keenly the Security Service wanted to confirm or disprove early suspicions of his high-level treachery.
In daily bulletins submitted to MI5 in November 1951, undercover operatives describe how Philby, codenamed Peach, moved about London.
They said he gave “no outward sign of being either nervous or on the alert, but your well trained man should not do so; every movement is natural – again as it should be”
[Guardian]
The whole Philby thing has always been hugely overblown. Philby himself has been over-rated, too. Superficially well-educated, yes, but really a rather dogmatic Marxist-Leninist who, under other formative circumstances, might have been like some of the other basically mediocre professional-level bourgeois Englishmen I have met in my life, and who were not in secret-intelligence work but, variously, Roman Catholic converts, and/or military officers or barristers or other activity.
Philby was certainly no great mind, though he evidently thought himself very clever. Likewise, he was a bit of a plodder ideologically.
I recall that Philby wrote in his supposed memoirs (possibly part-ghosted by KGB helpers), My Silent War, or elsewhere, that “you choose your side and stick with it“, i.e. rather as others do to the Labour or Conservative parties, or to (the contemporary British obsession) football clubs. Unthinking loyalty. Stick-in-the-mud loyalty.
The puffing of Philby as the “masterspy”, or even “spymaster”, suited both sides in the Cold War: the Soviet side getting the gloss of having not only suborned Philby and other “Establishment” Englishmen to the Marxist/Soviet cause, but also having outplayed Western intelligence agencies in the spy game.
As for the British part of the Western side, Philby’s prominence could be presented as an example of why pervasive “security” (and the whole Cold War stance) was necessary. Also, his supposed “brilliance” in a way bolstered the reputation of institutions such as the more expensive English schools (Philby was at Westminster School) and, of course, the supposedly elite universities, in particular Cambridge.
The whole “Cambridge spies” story tends to puff the reputation of SIS and MI5 (despite their having been outplayed) by making their role seem terribly important. One scribbler even penned a well-known book called Philby— The Spy Who Betrayed A Generation, as if the Cambridge Spies were pretty much the centrepiece of British history since the 1930s, rather than an obscure footnote to it.
In the 1930s (when Philby started to work for Soviet organizations), there was (in the first half of the decade) the Great Depression, and the initial triumph of National Socialism in Germany. In the middle of the 1930s to 1939, the Spanish Civil War, while in Britain itself, the economy was recovering and society changing .
Then, in the early/mid 1940s, there was the titanic Second World War (in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War).
In Britain, after 1945, there were the great social changes of the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, the “Cambridge Spies” were mostly not even in the UK. Maclean and Burgess had fled in 1951, and Philby was in journalistic exile in the Middle East. The economic and social changes in the UK were the main events, together with the start of the disastrous migration-invasion of non-whites into the UK, and Britain’s retreat from Empire.
The “Cambridge Spies” were not even footnotes to much of that. Near-irrelevant, despite the obsessions of the Westminster Bubblers and newspaper scribblers.
What damaged Britain in the 1940s through to the 1960s, and then on to today, was not a few spies passing on information to the Soviet Union, but the abandonment of Empire, the importation of blacks and browns in vast numbers, the cultural decadence etc.
You often see Philby and his fellow Cambridge spies described as “upper-class” or even “aristocratic”. In fact, not one was of “aristocratic” background, though all (except Cairncross) were affluent or wealthy. Philby’s own father was from an affluent government-connected family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby] but a fact generally ignored or covered-up is that Philby’s mother, Dora, was half-Indian, a so-called “chi-chi” (pron. “shi-shi”), which may have subtly affected his loyalties.
General Kalugin, in his memoirs, describes how his superiors had the idea of using Philby, then in Moscow, as a kind of lure for potential agents in the West, by showing that he was respected, had a good life etc. His first meeting with the shambling drunken Philby makes a memorable picture.
Incidentally, Philby never learned to speak or read Russian beyond a rudimentary level, and had English-language books supplied to him via the KGB (presumably via people at the London embassy, and the diplomatic bag).
In the early 1990s, sometime around 1994, I was slightly acquainted with a Russian businessman living in London, and with an office in Regent Street, who had some legal business (I was a barrister at the time). We had lunch at least once at my Inn (of Court), Lincoln’s Inn. I recall that the Spanish waitress was very taken with “Ed” [Edvard] and his rather Scandinavian looks (he was from the Baltic regions) and even asked me later if I might effect an introduction for her (that never happened).
“Ed” was quite open about the fact that, prior to his taking to capitalist business activity, he had been in the KGB, though that would only have been, at a guess, for a relatively few years. He recalled having been at a lecture or two given by Philby in Moscow (he said that that had been at the Lubyanka).
Incidentally, those comments in the Guardian from the MI5 surveillance directorate in 1951 do tend to beg the question; after all, if a surveillance target is acting naturally, then either he is not guilty, or is literally acting (and/or has been trained to act) naturally, so in fact may be guilty. If, though, the target looks nervous, looks for reflections in shop windows etc, does that mean that he is guilty, or is he just a nervous wreck and/or afraid of being thought guilty? Wilderness of mirrors.

“Given that there is a lot of talk about changes to special educational needs provision and reform plans for the NHS, we should worry about what the government might focus on next. Equally alarming, it seems to me, is a belief in Downing Street that reviving the UK demands embracing the wonders of artificial intelligence, which Keir Starmer believes will have an almost magical effect on everything from social work to education, and realise his new dream of “totally rewiring government”. Because this is an administration so lacking in everyday humanity, that is a much more scary prospect than he and his colleagues seem to realise.“

“Ireland has exploded into a wave of violence as anti-migrant anger is at an all time high – after the number of people applying to come into the country rocketed by nearly 300 per cent five years.
Once sleepy towns are now homes to hundreds of asylum seekers while tent cities have been set up along Dublin’s Grand Canal.
And with far-right sentiment at fever pitch the country is on a knife edge – with even Ireland’s left-wing politicians admitting that the influx of migrants was driving a spike in homelessness.
The government has previously spoken favourably about migration. Jamie Drummond, Co-Founder and Executive Director of NGO ONE and a friend of U2 star Bono, told the International Development Committee in 2015 that young immigrants were needed to help with Ireland’s ‘senile’ aging population.
“Just as this country and this continent will be at its most senile demographically speaking, Africa will be the world’s youth and the supply of the world’s energy, creativity and dynamism.”
[Daily Mail]
The final comment, apparently by a friend of grasping hypocrite “Bono” shows that he (Daily Mail says “she“, for some reason) has little of use to contribute: anyone who imagines that Africa can give white Europe “energy, creativity and dynamism” is either deluded or working to an agenda.
Very sad that Ireland has become so contaminated. I saw it in the 1970s, and again in the mid-1980s. From what I have seen on TV and newspapers, it has become busier and, in recent decades, more affluent in parts than when I was there but also, now, far less pleasant by reason of the migration invasion.
At least the Irish, unlike most of the English, are not going down without a fight.
You can see that process happening in the UK. In fact, it has been a factor for decades, but the huge migration-invasion since, arguably, 1989, is now completely destroying the “democratic rights” of the (real) British people.
Somewhere around 15%-20% of the UK population is now non-white; in England, the proportion is far higher, around 25%, and in the major cities such as London even higher, somewhere around 30% if not more. Some cities in the Midlands and North are already majority non-white.
Even in the UK as a whole, the average non-white presence in primary schools is now somewhere around 40%. As shown, that means that in cities such as London, the primary schools are already about 50% or more non-white.
[In 1951, there were effectively no non-whites in the UK; the few that did exist were in the major ports, including London (graphic from Wikipedia)]
Incidentally, you can see from that graphic what a lie are those TV dramas (eg, Grantchester) which show even small villages in the 1940s or 1950s with racially-mixed populations.
People of my age [b.1956] know the truth, but younger people, especially children, are being brainwashed via the TV, cinema, streaming services, and at school, to believe what amounts to a lying narrative.
By 2050, at latest, the UK population will be majority non-white. Yes, some non-whites will not support later waves of immigration; however, most will, and do.
If Britain does not have, by 2030 or so, a genuinely social-national government, or at very least a Reform UK-type conservative semi-nationalist one, you can forget the “Parliamentary road”.
