So far, we have seen the not very exciting Reform UK get recent opinion poll ratings of between 9% and 15%. Not enough to get any seats if spread out evenly across the country.
However, reading the latest reaction to the absurd “National Service” idea floated by Sunak (you can read my own thoughts about that on the blog for yesterday and the previous day), it occurs to me that Reform UK might, just, do better than the polls suggest.
We have seen, in the past, people too ashamed or embarrassed to say to polling staff that they support the Conservative Party; maybe that is true here too, and that a proportion of the “Don’t Know” responders (recently often a plurality of those responding) are really secret Reform UK supporters, or secret nationalist or semi-nationalist supporters, or just secretly angry people.
That may be completely wrong, and we shall only know on 5 July 2024, but I could imagine quite a few people, either on the 4th or, before that, when filling out postal voting forms, thinking, “so **** it!” and voting Reform UK out of anger, frustration, or a wish to hurt the Conservative Party clowns, or the System in general.
Just a thought…

That 124,227 is only about 5%, not even, of the whole migrant influx over the past 7 years (at least 3 million). Then add the births to all migrants. Unsustainable, and in fact catastrophic to the future of this country.

What the misnamed “Conservatives” have apparently not quite understood is that most Reform UK voters are not voting Reform with the serious idea of winning many —or even any— seats in the Commons. They are voting Reform as a massive howl of protest (cf. the Brexit Referendum) and/or to give the Conservative Party an equally massive kicking.

That Lazarus individual tweeted to another elderly Jew-Zionist woman several years ago that I (and someone else, of whom I had never even heard) should be given strychnine to drink. At the time, I could not be bothered to report it to the police, or even to Twitter, though “those” types mentioned themselves spend much of their time sneaking around and making malicious and contrived complaint to police and others.
There is a web of such “individuals” on Twitter/X, including most if not all of the accounts mentioned above, and mostly connected with the tiny but well-funded so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, itself a cabal which constantly “complains”, often using outright lies (as exposed recently when its “CEO”, Gideon Falter, made demonstrably false claims about the Metropolitan Police); the “CAA” also tries to suborn police and Crown Prosecution Service personnel.
Even the Jewish/Zionist lobby has turned against the “CAA” liars recently.
I myself was expelled from Twitter/X in 2018 by reason of a concerted campaign by several of “those” mentioned, with others; I have no interest now in returning to Twitter/X.

Let us hope that idiots in positions of power, whether in Poland, the Baltic states, or France, are listening.
Goodwin’s point is vitiated by his turning a blind eye to the Jew-Zionist influence permeating UK politics. My own attitude is closer to that of the cartoon below:
As a Northern European social-national thinker, I refuse to support either side in the Gaza/Israel/Palestine situation. It is more true to say that while I despise the Israeli side for its brutality and quasi-psychotic sadism yet, by the same token, I cannot support any form of violent Islamism, as such. I oppose the pervasive Jew-Zionist influence in UK politics and society, yet also oppose the migration-invasion of Britain, whether by Islamists, black hordes, or others.
I have, incidentally, not seen Goodwin say anything at all supportive of the suffering millions in Gaza, most of whom after all are women and children. Goodwin, like so many people seen frequently on UK mass media, is supportive, it seems, of Israel, or afraid to seem critical of it and/or Jew-Zionism and/or Zionists.

“Under the [“National Service”] plan, 18-year-olds will be given a choice between a full-time placement in the Armed Forces for 12 months or spending one weekend a month for a year [doing community work].
The Tories would also encourage employers to consider those who complete the Armed Forces placement during job applications.
However, the Armed Forces option would be selective – with only around 30,000 placements for ‘the brightest and best’.”
[Daily Mail]
So Sunak’s cockeyed “plan” for conscription turns out to be mainly a plan to have untrained 18-y-o young men and, I presume, women doing a kind of forced labour on one weekend per month for a year. Even by Sunak’s standards, this is pretty silly.
For one thing, the time is unbalanced. Leaving aside any Army/Navy leave or liberty days, it means that those choosing and being selected for the military or naval option will spend 365 days serving. The “civilian” option, though, will only take up 24 days.
Guess which option most young people are going to choose?
Even if you take off maybe 125 liberty days or leave days from the 365, that still only reduces to about 240 days on duty, as against 24. Ten times the commitment.
The idea that employers will give the “military/naval option” cadets an easier ride in later civilian job recruitment could not be enforced and relies entirely on goodwill.
In fact, the year of service (in either case) will set back the cadets or National Service litter-pickers for a year, especially the military/naval cadets, except those planning a Service career anyway.
As for the rest, spending one weekend a month picking up litter, helping clean hospitals, or planting trees, might not be a huge commitment of time, but will be seen by most as a kind of slave or serf labour, even if remunerated or compensated at say £150 per weekend (I have seen nothing so far, though, about any remuneration).
I suppose that, if the 30,000 military/naval cadets were offered pay (£15,000 p.a.?) and a gratuity, on completion, of some not-trifling amount (say £12,000 in cash, taxfree), that might spark some interest.
Over 700,000 or so people turn 18 every year in the UK. That means that 670,000+ will be on the monthly “community service” option.
What happens if the litter-pickers (etc) decide not to comply? Do they get taken to court? Fined? Ordered to comply on pain of imprisonment? What if there is mass non-compliance, or organized civil disobedience?
In fact, in view of the fact that the State has not the resources with which to imprison up to 700,000 young people, the most they could be given might be…unpaid work for a few days a month. Oh…
This has not been thought through by Sunak and/or those around him.
Likewise with the military/naval option. To train recruits to a basic level takes maybe 2-4 months (the British Army takes 14 weeks to basic-train standard recruits, the Royal Navy 10 weeks for ratings; officers are basic-trained for longer, 15-30 weeks), and overall training of those National Service cadets is likely to take a total of as long as 6 months (the British Army takes 44 weeks to fully train an officer).
In other words, after training, the cadets will only be available for deployment for 6 months before their time is up and they either leave or join the regular Army or Navy. Any trained to an officer level will only be available for deployment for a few months, or even weeks.
In other words, the increase in manpower might only be 15,000 or so, or is the idea to have both ordinary recruitment and National Service recruitment? Looks as though the end result would be much the same.
Also, who would choose to join as National Service recruit when he/she could join up with (?) better pay and conditions as a regular recruit and/or as an officer-cadet?
Will the National Service cadets or recruits be put into dedicated units, or mixed-in with regular units?
Again, this really has not been thought through.
The people this crazy scheme is apparently supposed to “help”, or change, or just control and monitor the most, those disaffected 18-y-o individuals who are not at or planning to go to university, nor into a structured career or job of some kind, will be the least likely to opt for the military/naval option, so will “choose” the “one weekend per month” option, and probably either fail to attend, or may do it very unwillingly, like a “community payback” penalty imposed by the courts.
What is the point?
Also, if the government has a force of about 670,000 “litter-pickers” (etc) to deploy, how many older (older than 18) people will thereby be deprived of the chance of doing paid or better-paid jobs doing the same or similar work?
Once again, the consequential effects have not been properly thought through.

🚨NEW: Keir Starmer is attempting to put pro-Israel lobbyist Ruth Smeeth in charge of the Ministry of Defence.
This is what the near future has in store for the UK— a literal Israeli agent as Secretary of State for Defence. Look at ex-MP John Woodcock (now “Lord Walney”), a sex pest and depressive case who is one of the worst Israel/Jewish lobby puppets at Westminster. He is apparently over-excited by the possibility that Israel will have yet another of its main “candidates” at Cabinet level, right in there with the others (Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Lisa Nandy etc).
All he wants is power and he'll say anything to get it. Independent Candidate Andrew Feinstein @AF4HSP with a brilliant introduction to the real Keir Starmer. If you let Starmer into Downing Street you'll spend the next five years eating what you ordered. pic.twitter.com/v5Jbs4IntA
All true (about Starmer), but all I myself am interested in, re. the upcoming General Election, directly, is to collapse one of the two main System parties, even at the high cost of allowing the other to become an “elected” dictatorship. Only by unbalancing the “two main parties” system can a social-national alternative arise.

So the Jewish chief of the Con Party election campaign is being accused of falling down on the job, thus making it even easier for pro-Israel Starmer and his cabal to win said election with a huge majority? I feel a conspiracy theory coming on…
[Addendum, same day: a regular reader of the blog suggests that Isaac Levido is not Jewish. I do not know for sure, despite the name(s) and the look of the said publicist, so am adding this cautionary addendum in the interests of accuracy and fairness].
Having said that, why the voters are turning away from the Con Party is not mainly by reason of poor presentation but by reason of very poor actual government of the country over the past 14 years, and especially the past 5 years.

2235. Still waiting. The clowns cannot even get their big announcement out on time.
Under the Conservatives, the State Pension had risen by £3,700 – and is increasing another £900 this year.
So that’s at. A desperate attempt to hold on to at least the former Con Party core vote of pensioners. The full registered electorate of the UK is about 45.5M; persons 65+ total about 11M, so about 27% of the electorate. Also, far more likely, traditionally to vote, either by post or in person.
These are pretty much the only people, or at least by far the biggest bloc, still likely to vote Con at GE 2024.
Whether it will make much difference, hard to say. Many pensioners will wonder a. as to whether Sunak will even be there after 4 July, and b. whether he can be trusted. There again, not all vote on the basis of perceived self-interest.
As a “big announcement”, slightly underwhelming, but I expect it will buy at least some votes. Absolutely desperate though, as a tactic.

Now the “blue sky” Hungarian-origined “thinker” —resident in California at last hearing, having left the UK and taken on U.S. citizenship— opines about the 2024 UK General Election.
He writes that “…somehow I don’t think Sunak does accept the inevitability of defeat.
You don’t get to be in his position, with all the success he has achieved in his career and his life, without exceptional drive and determination. I simply cannot believe that someone that impressive – Oxford, Stanford, Goldman Sachs, Prime Minister within seven years of becoming an MP – is content to just drift out of office without a fight.“
[Daily Mail]
Those words alone show how out of touch “Hilton” is, and how easily dazzled. Yes, Sunak got a degree from Oxford University (after having been at Winchester College, where he became Head Boy, it would be almost surprising had Sunak not gone on to Oxford). So what?
Sunak then went on to Stanford University, and graduated with an MBA. OK, but so what, really?
Indeed, and in all fairness, Hilton’s own academic achievement, coming from his level of poverty or near-poverty in childhood, was more creditable than that of Sunak: Christ’s Hospital (school) on a bursary, followed by Oxford University.
“Hilton” then praises Sunak for having worked (for about 2 years or so) at the Goldman Sachs financial outfit. Not everyone thinks that that is a recommendation, but “Hilton” is no doubt dazzled by the money Goldman Sachs pay some of their staff.
“Hilton” himself was brought up in a fair degree of poverty, by a mother abandoned by her husband; she and her son survived only by reason of the State benefits that “Hilton”, as well-overpaid and useless adviser to Cameron-Levita’s “Conservative” government (2010-2015), later did his best to take away from other poor, sick, and disabled people.
As the Germans say, “put a beggar on a horse and he rides it to death“…
As to Sunak’s money, much of it has come, directly or indirectly, from his marriage to a super-wealthy Indian, daughter of an Indian billionaire. Anyway, as far as I am concerned, I do not, without more, respect money-jugglers. Maybe “Hilton” does.
It must have been galling for “Hilton” to forever be around the wealthy and politically-powerful, including his own wife, Rachel Whetstone [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Whetstone], yet have only the hanger-on’s level of influence, and nowhere near as much wealth, though at Downing Street, “Hilton” was paid or overpaid some £200,000 p.a., (worth maybe £240,000 p.a, in 2024 money). Good pay, yes, but a high salary is not the same as having serious capital.
“Hilton” also forgets to note that Sunak is “in his position” purely because two other idiots, “Boris” Johnson and Liz Truss, had to resign. Sunak (like Truss) has never led his party into an election; the Premiership was simply gifted to him.
“Hilton” goes on to write that ” Now, after years of chaos, Britain seems to be on the right track. But, make no mistake, a Labour government would set things back. What’s needed now from Sunak is energy, aggression and inspiration – and then he could pull off an even greater upset than John Major achieved in 1992.”
Absolutely asinine.
“Hilton”, the not very successful spin-meister, seems to imagine that, if only Sunak and the “Conservatives” were to really attack Starmer and his crew, the electorate will rally round the Cons. A brainless “analysis”, though I agree with Hilton that Starmer really offers nothing but a change of personnel.
As for “Britain seems to be on the right track“, from where does “Hilton” get that idea? It flies in the face of facts flagrantly obvious to anyone with eyes and any perceptiveness at all; Britain is quite obviously not“on the right track“.
A million unwanted non-Europeans, mostly (at best) parasites, entering the UK every year; a health service on its knees; a police service unable or unwilling to do its proper job, but at the same time all too eager to “cosplay” as a poundland Stasi or KGB, snooping on tweets and blogs; poor pay for most, and a continuing squeeze on the State benefits which sustained the young “Hilton” and his mother; a housing crisis caused or made far worse by the all but uncontrolled mass migration invasion; potholed and unrepaired roads and highways; a government throwing money and military support at “Ukraine” (the corrupt, brutal, and shambolic Kiev regime of the Jew Zelensky) and Israel; filthy rivers…it just goes on.
I suppose that the Daily Mail paid “Hilton” well for his little piece of “analysis”, if you can even call it that. Money wasted.
To my mind, whatever Sunak now says will either accomplish nothing to mitigate what must surely be a catastrophic election result for the Con Party, or may well make it all worse for them.
So far, a disastrous General Election announcement, with Sunak all but washed away by heavy rain; a visit to the Titanic museum in Belfast (you couldn’t make it up!); and now the announcement that, if re-elected, the “Conservatives” will reintroduce mandatory 1950s-style conscription (with a few semi-“woke” tweaks) for all (?) 18-y-o young men (and women?).
As I noted on the blog yesterday, the “National Service” idea seems designed to appeal to some kind of “false memory” delusion in some 70-100 year old Con Party voters, rather than being serious policy.
As I noted yesterday, after a date in 1957 no young men born after August 1939 were called-up (drafted), and call-up ceased in 1960 (though a relative few served until 1963).
So someone today would have to be at least 85 to have actually experienced the former “National Service”, which varied much.
For example, one of my uncles served, on an easy and almost 9-5 basis, as a lecturer in the Army Education Corps; his son, my slightly-older cousin, not seen by me since 1970, became a lecturer at Oxford University and then senior lecturer (mainly American Literature, I think) at Edinburgh University; he has apparently also written a number of books on literature, published by Oxford University Press.
Meanwhile, another uncle, circa 1950, was some kind of accountant in the Pay Corps, based in places such as North Wales, as far as I know. Hardly thrilling. Other and less fortunate conscripts, though, found themselves fighting in swamps and mountains against people out to kill them. Korea, Malaya, Cyprus etc.
At any rate, that “National Service” idea alone has probably cost the Con Party a million General Election votes overall.
With everything so wrong in the country, Sunak goes with conscription as his Big Idea?! He really should have stayed in the world of corporate finance, juggling money.
I think that “Hilton” should go home to California, if that is where he now mainly lives, and stop trying to comment on a British society and political landscape which he no longer understands, if he ever did.

The importance of that is less in the limited material damage done, and more the fact that, despite the devastation of Gaza, despite the huge number of casualties (mostly civilian), despite the Israeli ground invasion, despite everything, the Hamas organization in Gaza remains able to fire rockets capable of penetrating the defences of Tel Aviv and causing at least some damage.

Au contraire, that is exactly what Starmer-Labour can do. Yes, they have no publicly-palatable plan, and secretly are planning to do a Cameron/Osborne Mark 2, but up to the 4th of July they will just rely on the hatred and contempt felt by the voters for Sunak’s hapless bunch of clowns.
Most people want rid of the “Conservatives”; the fact that Labour will also be terrible in government, maybe worse, scarcely impinges. Only 5 and a half weeks left before the General Election. Postal voting will be happening from about 3 weeks from now. Time is not on the side of Sunak and his party.

Rosindell also blocked the Parliamentary bill that would have stopped animals being used in circuses. What a horrible person.

The authoritarian arrogance of this is breathtaking enough and it’s what the Cult wants to impose eventually in an expanded form. But to announce it now is another ruse designed to open the way for his one-party-state fellow operative Starmer into Downing Street.”
Exactly. The NWO/ZOG wants Starmer-Labour to be “elected” (under a rigged system) and to become, thereby, an “elected” dictatorship: fake communitarian, pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, pro-NWO/ZOG, pro the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan], pro-mass migration-invasion of the UK and the rest of Europe, pro-repression of free speech.

“Thinking about why the Tories have called the election early despite clearly being in for a drubbing, I agree with @AMercouris of the Duran: the entire establishment is most worried not about Tory v Labour but about the possibility of alternative parties making gains, however small.
The more time that goes by, the more the voters realise how much they hate both the Tories and Labour. If these are the only choices, vast swathes of the people will simply stay away from the polls (as they stayed away from the recent local elections). But if there are alternative candidates from Reform and the Workers party, and those parties have the time to organise their campaigns while the war criminals continue to become ever more unpopular, there’s every chance they could win a few seats.
Even without winning seats, they could prevent Labour from getting its landslide by gaining vote shares in many constituencies that Labour hopes to take from the Tories.
Getting a stable Labour government installed on a low turnout seems to be the main aim of the ruling class right now. It’s been clear they’ve been grooming Starmer as the next PM for a long time. He’s 100% their man – a servile lackey who will commit any crime required and an ultra-zionist. And he has the huge advantage of trade union backing at a time when more and more anti-worker measures are going to be implemented and more aggressive wars launched.
A hung parliament would be a nightmare for this agenda, as would a parliament with anti-EU and/or antiwar troublemakers putting pressure on the ‘uniparty’ loyalists and exacerbating the crisis of legitimacy by making embarrassing demands from the back benches.
Anyone considering whether / how to vote should remember that this election has no ability to solve any of our problems, which stem from the capitalist system itself – from the global capitalist crisis of overproduction (and consequent poverty, unemployment and inflation) and from the desperate imperialist war drive.
The only useful thing you can do with your vote is use it to back Workers Party or independent candidates if they STAND AGAINST NATO, OPPOSE THE LABOUR PARTY, AND OPPOSE THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA.
If we can get a few anti-Nato, anti-genocide MPs in Parliament, it will be a major irritation to the establishment, and a permanent reminder to the British people that their will is ignored by the vast majority of their ‘elected representatives’. If we can help deny Labour the huge majority that the corporate media are confidently predicting, so much the better.”
I agree with the basic premise, but not with the conclusion there. If the Con Party can be all but wiped out this year, left with only a risible rump of deadhead MPs, that may unbalance the whole “2 main parties” System scam, leaving a vacuum that social nationalism may then fill, though not immediately (because no real social-national party exists).

“…If such authentic souls, such honest anthroposophists can be found … then an upward movement and dynamic will arise. If such souls do not appear, then decadence will take its inexorable downward course… Today humanity stands before a great crisis: either it will see all civilization collapsing into the abyss, or else spirituality will raise civilization up by the power of the Michael impetus, through which the Christ impetus works, thus continuing, enriching and sustaining it.‘” [Rudolf Steiner 1861-1925].
Five years or so ago, when I wrote the above blog post, I highlighted a number of possible events that might end, or almost end, our present civilization. A possible and possibly contrived pandemic was one, and one of the others was nuclear war.
Since 2019, the push, mainly in the West, for war, especially war with the Russian Federation, has become almost a clamour.
We look at, perhaps particularly, the First World War, and ask “why on Earth did they do it?“, it seems so senseless on looking back. Yet look now: a ridiculous contrived Russian ogre has been conjured into existence, supposedly threatening Central and Western Europe.
The fact that Russian forces have failed even to crush the corrupt and shambolic regime in Kiev seems not to have dented the “Russia threatens us” narrative. The Russians may have been unable to take or destroy Kiev, but they, we are told, now certainly threaten Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, and London.
There again, Russia today is merely and ordinarily nationalist; there is no inherently-expansionist Marxist-Leninist ideology, as there was during the currency of the Soviet Union.
The whole idea is senseless.
More and more powerful missiles and other arms are being given to the “Ukrainians” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev). Only today, a Russian nuclear early-warning station was destroyed.
Be under no illusions: nuclear war on the strategic level might be triggered by only one incident, leading to an intercontinental nuclear exchange within days. Such an event or series of events has been foretold in major staff college war games over the past 60 years.
Were such a catastrophe to happen, the way back for our whole civilization would be long and hard, if it could even take place. Almost everything we know and live among would cease to exist. 99% of the world’s population, certainly Europe’s, would not survive.
[…but those problems (and others) have of course nothing at all to do either with the fact that a million unwanted non-white immigrants are flooding into the UK every single year, or with Government policy, so keep voting “Labour”, “Conservative” or “Liberal Democrat”…]

#bbcqt Tim Montgomerie – 'I'm a Conservative and the water companies should be nationalised…but only for a short time, and then they should be resold' Yes, nationalised just long enough for the debts to be socialised and paid for by the public, eh Tim?
As long as I have been aware of his existence, from about 2010, Tim Montgomerie has been writing almost total nonsense about what should be UK government policy. He is, like oily Fraser Nelson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraser_Nelson] often said to be some kind of “senior commentator”. Ludicrous.
People such as Montgomerie, with only (what to me seems) a tenuous grip on the reality of social issues, should never hold power or exert more than the most peripheral influence, because what seems fine in the ivory tower often causes mayhem on the streets.

“The gradual Judaizing of our country“? Well, now that you mention it…but I had better not comment, in view of my recent free speech trial (in November 2023)….
My view of those questions, though, in simple cartoon form? See below:
Obviously, it is “Goodnight Vienna” for the Conservative Party, but for me the “Don’t Know” category is the most significant. Imagine if a properly social-national movement could capture those “Don’t Knows”, or most of them and, with them, Britain.
Rishi Sunak's ONLY chance is to throw absolutely everything he has at winning back the 40%+ 2019 Tories who have defected to Reform or abandoned politics altogether and who prioritise, above all, Stopping the Boats. My latest in the @DailyMailUKhttps://t.co/5ZW9n68LbB
Matt Goodwin says that the only way for Sunak to mitigate the unfolding electoral picture is to “throw everything” at the 30%-40% of 2019 Con voters, who intend to either abstain from the General Election or to vote Reform UK, and whose top issue now is “stopping the boats“.
Well, stopping the most obvious aspect of the migration invasion is important, but those “small boats” are not even 5% of the problem. About 50,000 individuals a year out of about a million in toto. Are those 2019 Con voters who are presently disenchanted, and who are spoken about by Goodwin, really that stupid? I do not know. Maybe; maybe not.
Thinking about it, though, what is meant by “throwing everything” at the cross-Channel invasion? Immediately arresting and detaining all such invaders? That is more or less what is being done, albeit in a “velvet glove” way.
So, yes, the invaders could be held in harsher, more restrictive conditions, not allowed to wander around (though how? Not give them money? Not allow them telephones or Internet access? Take away their shoes?). Difficult unless all are held in remote camps.
Even such measures, however, though they might be popular, would not solve the problem of the —on average— hundreds per day landing or being landed (often by UK Border “Farce“, RNLI or Royal Navy ships and boats) on our shores.
Would Sunak really sink the boats in mid-Channel? Will Sunak have the invaders fired upon? Of course not. So the actual flow, even of the outright “small boat” invaders, is not going to be stopped by Sunak.
What is left is words, empty words. As in “if you vote Conservative, we promise to do something to stop the boats…sometime after the Election…“
Not at all convincing.

Whatever the details of Starmer’s background and family (which he may have finessed for political reasons), it is clear from polling that he is not considered very suitable to be Prime Minister by most people. Having said that, he is beating Sunak by miles. The little Indian money-juggler is about to become an ex-Prime Minister, and he is taking most of his MPs with him.
I suppose that Sunak wanted to showcase “regeneration”, but could he not see that the name “Titanic” is mainly associated with the (sinking) ship of that name? Are the people around Sunak also so unaware that they missed how this looks, at this time, and as Sunak’s premiership sinks below the waves?
Actually, remembering those “special adviser” SpAd idiots drunkenly “dancing” at Downing Street when “Boris” (chief idiot) was PM, maybe it is not so surprising.

Tim Montgomerie over-estimates the importance of Farage, as does Matt Goodwin (see Goodwin’s blog posts).
Farage had the chance to become a leading political figure in or around 2014-2019. His oratorical and mass media skills are considerable, and he also has at least some organizational skills. As a politician, however, he is nowhere as effective as he is usually painted.
Farage has let down too many people too many times. UKIP’s failure in 2015 was not the fault of Farage but of the rigged FPTP system of the UK. 12% of the votes should have meant about 70 Commons seats (under proportional representational voting) but (under FPTP) did not.
Later, Farage stabbed his own supporters in the back when he withdrew Brexit Party, pretty much, from the 2019 General Election, thus allowing a “Boris”-idiot win.
Now, Farage has decided to ignore the 2024 General Election, in order to concentrate on helping Trump in the USA!
Farage is “controlled opposition”, as were UKIP and Brexit Party; Reform UK is no different.
I have always said that Farage is —despite his admitted skills— not a very good politician. He himself has failed to be elected anywhere under FPTP, though he was repeatedly elected as an MEP, under the European Parliament’s proportional system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_history_of_Nigel_Farage. He also came close to being elected in 2015 at South Thanet, but was beaten, by only a couple of points, by Craig Mackinlay, the pro-Brexit Con Party candidate.
Farage pulled back from the brink just at the moment when Brexit Party might have broken through the “three main parties” scam-bubble, in 2019, because he wanted to make sure that the Conservative Party won the GE. That is no real leader. Likewise, he is now running away to the USA because Reform UK looks like not getting anywhere very much (though Matt Goodwin seems to think otherwise).
Farage is, of course, not social-national. More a kind of pseudo-nationalist pseudo-“libertarian”. It was the failure to go social-national that —along with a grossly-unfair electoral system— sank UKIP, Brexit Party and, now, Reform UK (as seems likely to happen).
Farage, in my opinion, is now by no means as important politically as Montgomerie and Goodwin apparently believe.
Tim Montgomerie also over-estimates the Conservative Party. He says that, without Farage leading Reform UK, the misnamed Conservative Party will live to fight another day. Montgomerie underestimates, in my view, the contempt and hatred felt by very many for the Con Party now.
Yes, Sunak is finished, but where does that leave the Con Party? Led by some other non-European such as Suella Braverman or Kemi Badenoch? Puppets of the Jewish lobby and Israel.
Without a Conservative Party with any hope of getting into government for years, or ever, Farage is finished politically as well. After GE 2024, “Reform UK”, and certainly Farage, will be a sideshow of a sideshow.
I do not think that the presence or absence of Farage during GE 2024 will much affect Reform UK’s performance; maybe by a few points, and, yes, that will help the Con Party, but not much. A few points, a few seats.
Despite the very uninteresting and unwanted offering from fake Starmer-Labour, the primary wish of most people now is to give the “Conservatives” a massive kicking. Voting Labour will be the way to do that for most voters, voting LibDem in southern English constituencies may be another way, and voting Reform UK as a kind of “FU!” (to the Conservative Party) is yet another way to do that, without having to vote Labour.
Well, we shall know soon, by about the 5th of July.

A million, more or less, into the UK, every year. The “net” 685,000 are almost all non-Europeans. Once you factor in maybe 200,000+ (real) Brits leaving in the hope of a better life in New Zealand, Australia, Canada etc, that means that, more or less, 900,000 more non-whites are entering the UK and staying here, and breeding here, every single year.

The US Government, and American society, were not always occupied and ruled by the Jewish/Israel lobby. It happened gradually, mainly after 1956 and Suez. Even in the 1960s, the (((occupation))) was not complete.
I should say that the level of penetration seen today happened largely just after the Ronald Reagan era. George Bush snr openly proclaimed the New World Order (NWO) in early 1990, signalling an end to the Cold War era as such, and also signalling the beginning of the 33-year (1989-2022) largely unchallenged rule of NWO/ZOG (New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government).
That period is now at an end, and we are in the next 33-year cycle (2022-2055), the last one I shall see in my present incarnation.
Leaving the history behind, it is clear that the US Government (i.e. NWO/ZOG) only accepts international law when it is convenient for the USA (actually, Israel, and the Jewish lobby, not the USA as such) to do so. The USA has been poisoned by the bandit state.

It is very strange how the Israeli Jews seem to feel a compulsion to ape, not the Third Reich as such, but their own distorted image of the Third Reich, comprising only the most negative (supposed) parts of those 12 years in greater Germany (1933-1945).
I suppose it all comes from the upbringing and education (brainwashing) most if not all of them receive when young, then continuing throughout their lives.

For one thing, many of them, quite understandably, blame the UK and maybe its people for allowing the UK to do the bidding of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, sending military aid etc to Israel, and so on; there may be a degree of hostility.
Secondly, if large numbers, perhaps the more active of the Palestinian Arabs, come to the UK, the resistance to Israel in Israel/Palestine itself will be weakened.
Thirdly, of course, I oppose the migration-invasion in general.
As to tweeter “@AJPhillipsEsq”, I agree with his point.

Rob Rinder says companies that hold monopolies over water and rail should be nationalised
"It's time to say you're not doing a good job, you're gouging the consumer in profits…it's not a reasonable form of capitalism."
Mirabile dictu! For once, I agree with “Judge” Rinder (TV show “judge” character).
Do I understand from that clip that Andrew Pierce, that little puppet of finance-capitalist propaganda posing as analysis, actually had the gall to try to argue the point?
The water companies should be taken into national ownership forthwith, and with little if any compensation paid to the mostly foreign shareholders.
Salus populi suprema lex esto— the welfare of the people is the supreme law [Cicero].
Legalistic points (in public international law) about “expropriation” can be ignored.
As to why Labour-label has not pledged to do what is necessary, it is because the real differences between Con-label and Lab-label are few, especially when it comes to finance-capitalism.
Implicit in much of the media coverage of Robert Fico –in the BBC, the Guardian, the FT– is that he somehow deserved to get shot because he happens to hold views they disagree with. It's disgusting.
That tendency has been around for a long time in the UK, but more pointedly since small upsurges of British national politics started to be listened to by a significant minority.
Nick Griffin was attacked by a stupid young woman about 14 years ago; Nigel Farage as well, several years ago. The Brexit shambles has added fuel to that fire.
If someone such as me writes a well-reasoned (usually), humorous (occasionally) blog, he may well be subjected to State repression at the behest of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, but a (supposed) comedienne such as Jo Brand can make a “joke”, effectively inciting cretins to pour acid on those whose views they dislike, and the “comic” idiot will face no penalty, and even get more work from the BBC (thanks to the “licence” tax imposed on the legally-captured audience, many of whom —like me— rarely even bother with BBC these days).

“Why is [the Jewish lobby] so much more powerful than people with disabilities?”
— Campaign Against Antisemitism (@antisemitism) May 16, 2024
…”and answer came there none“…
I myself could attempt an answer but, as many will know, the small but (inevitably) well-funded “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] managed to have me put on trial late last year —November 2023— after some 7 years of malicious and lying complaints by them, including the very weird ex-MP, now “Lord”, Ian Austin, writing directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions about me).
The Hampshire Constabulary and “Clown” Prosecution Service eventually caved in to the whining demands of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby.
Representing myself, I very nearly got off at half-time on the equivalent of “no case to answer”, but was convicted in the end of having published 5 blog posts containing material deemed to have been “grossly offensive” under Communications Act 2003, s.127, a piece of law so badly flawed that the Law Commission has recommended its repeal.
The case hinged upon 5 blog posts out of about 1,800 published since late 2016, and out of about 1,000 published in the 3 years prior to charge (3 years being the “backstop” time limitation).
The CPS and police wasted hundreds, perhaps thousands of hours of their supposedly precious time “trawling” (as the woman in charge of the CPS office in question put it) through thousands of pages of material.
The result was that, despite the “Clown” Prosecution Service and its outside Counsel having tried to make this pitiful little matter into a “State Trial” (in the historical sense), the sentence of the learned District Judge in question was that I undertake 15 “rehabilitation days” (mostly, in fact, quite short meetings) with the Probation Service (and spread over the nine months of March-December 2024), and pay notional costs totalling £734.
I missed a trick in that I perhaps could have asked for a reduction in costs based on the fact that the CPS asked for an adjournment of a week so that their Counsel could apply for a Criminal Behaviour Order against me, which he did. The very experienced District Judge (a former Deputy Chief Metropolitan Magistrate) however refused that Application and preferred my argument; indeed, he anticipated much of it.
I was tired, unsurprisingly, and failed to ask for the costs of the unnecessary extra (part-) day in court.
Never mind. All comes to he who waits…
So, reverting to that question about the Jewish lobby on the radio, I prefer not to make the fairly obvious answer as to why all those political candidates (not sure for what election; maybe the Manchester mayoral election; maybe not) turned out for the Jewish lobby, but not for the elderly, disabled and poor English people. I think that my blog readers will guess aright.
Incidentally, I am still paying off that £734 costs order by instalments. If anyone would care to help by donating a few pounds and/or sharing the link, I should be most grateful: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.
Finally, I had until today never heard of Eddie Nestor MBE. Sounds like an honest fellow, anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Nestor. The West Indians often seem more alert than echt-English people in respect of “this question”.
If only more people on radio and TV (especially white English people) were willing to stand up —even a little— to “that” special-interest lobby in the honest way that the said Nestor has done.
More about the legal case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor [for more, see previous blog posts]
The Defendants did win some aspects of the litigation, but given the offers made pre-trial, they’d have had to win on almost everything to avoid paying my costs.
“Here we go. One of the Defendants has told me this:
“He [Mark Lewis of Patron Law] also told me that there was no way I could lose any money as I would win at least one of the claims and the costs would be so substantial to you that it would end up in credit to my side.
This advice began to change dramatically after the result came in. When I said that I won two of the four, he responded with a very different picture.”
I do not know if this is true. But, if it is true, then: (a) it is terrible advice; and (b) it suggests Lewis continued to provide advice to this Defendant after identifying a conflict in May 2023. If true, it is scandalous conduct. @MLewisLawyer @sra_solicitors.”
The Defendants did win some aspects of the litigation, but given the offers made pre-trial, they’d have had to win on almost everything to avoid paying my costs.
We are supposedly a civilized society under law. That means that, unlike in the Old Wild West, Mark Lewis (and/or his pack of colleagues) cannot be tarred and feathered, and then run out of town on a rail (or rails), but what can be done is for the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority to take action resulting in Lewis’s removal from the solicitors’ roll.
Incidentally, Lewis is a longstanding “Patron” and co-conspirator with the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.
Lewis has been acting both dishonestly and fraudulently for many years. Time to boot him out and back to Eilat (Israel) where he apparently now has his domicile.

Once he loses the General Election later this year, or early in the New Year, the little Indian money-juggler will probably decamp, with his wife, to California. He may have been born here (in Southampton, in 1980), and educated here (Winchester, followed by Oxford) but he has no real roots here. The only difference between him and millions of other non-white “migrants” (or offspring of migrants) is the vast amount of money he has, mainly via his wife, who was born in India and seems to have arrived in the UK sometime around 2012, via California and the Netherlands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akshata_Murty.
Anyone who seriously believes that Sunak or his wife care a jot for the British people must be a very silly person indeed.

That would have been sometime around 2005.
I should add that not everyone was happy with the South West Water product even that long ago, but my own house was supplied by a private natural spring.

There is also a possible scenario in which the leader of the Kyiv regime will be allowed to leave the country and go, for example, to Cyprus, the colonel believes.
Russian forces can reach Odessa, if the Kiev regime does not agree to negotiations, otherwise the Russian army will close the passage on the front line east of the Dnieper. Russia will ensure the creation of a neutral demilitarized zone, he added.”

Well worth reading. Pity that the msm drones pumping out “Ukraine” (Kiev regime and NWO/ZOG) propaganda cannot produce analysis such as that (or as regularly seen on this blog).
I have noted previously on the blog the Jew-Zionist ownership of LBC radio (the Jewish aspect is not expressly noted by Byline Times). I do not think that it is a co-incidence that the propaganda of the malicious cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA” is mostly now broadcast by LBC, Murdoch-owned “no-one watches” Talk TV and —less so after “CAA” creature Gideon Falter was caught out lying about a contrived incident recently— Murdoch-owned Sky News.

Well, all right, but what part of “a million non-white invaders are entering the UK every year under a supposedly Conservative government” has Matt Goodwin missed?
Is Goodwin saying that even more invaders may enter the UK under the next Labour Party government? I do not dispute that that is possible, but once you get to where we now are, the difference is slight. We are, as a decent European society, going down, fast. Labour misgovernment after 2024 may accelerate the process, but not hugely, to be honest.
The number one aim in 2024 has to be to crush the Conservative Party, even at the expense of a Labour Party “elected” dictatorship under Israel puppet Keir Starmer. That will unbalance the rigged “two main parties” System, and make it easier for a real social-national movement to emerge.

“Swiss intelligence:

JACQUES BO WARNED: TACTICS WITHOUT STRATEGY ARE JUST VANITY – BEFORE DEFEAT FORMER.
Swiss intelligence officer Jacques Beau has announced that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was unable to answer what “victory over Russia” in Ukraine should look like. He stated that Austin was asked at a meeting of the NATO Armed Forces Committee to define what would be considered a victory in Ukraine. And that he had no answer or deliberately avoided answering.
On this occasion, Bo pointed out and warned: “If the West does not know what it is fighting for in Eastern Europe, then it will not be able to fight any longer and gain an advantage.” In his opinion, tactics without strategy are just futility in the face of defeat.“
Quite. As pointed out on this blog for the past couple of years.

Israel has now dropped 65,000 tons of explosives on Gaza’s civilian population in 89 days—over one and a half times more than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs combined.
Whether or not what the Israeli Jews have done in Gaza over the past 7 months can be, legalistically, labelled as “genocide” (and there are legions of Jewish lawyers in the UK and elsewhere weaselling to try to convince people to the contrary), the Israeli war crimes surely speak for themselves; just look at the damage.
The same with the numbers of women and children killed. So if the number stands at, say, 10,000, or 20,000 rather than 30,000, is that OK? Is it only “genocide” if the number is [notional hundreds of thousands, or millions], or if the victims are Jewish?

2024 could be the year when the stalemate on all fronts is broken, and when Russian forces can make a massive general advance north and west, across all of Eastern Ukraine.
Apart from his highly incentivised devotion to Israel, does David Lammy have any other qualification whatsoever to be probably the UK's next foreign secretary?
Hard, in a sense, to see what that snake-oil salesman would add to Reform UK’s limited popular appeal, especially after his recent frenzied pro-Israel soundbites, but then I am not a typical voter. Parties need leaders, either that or at least figureheads.
If Farage takes up the reins of Reform UK, and if that boosts its vote-share from last week’s 18% to 26%, and if the extra 8 points come equally out of the Con and Lab vote-share, leaving Cons on 14%, Labour on 44%, LibDems on 9% and Greens on 7%, the result might be Labour with 490 Commons seats, Reform UK with 57, LibDem 55, Con 6, and Greens 2. [calculation via Electoral Calculus https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html].
Is that possible? The uncertainty alone speaks volumes. It seems impossible… and yet…
That would put Reform UK into Parliament as second-largest party, and official Opposition. As for the Conservative Party, 6 MPs and a very very poor fourth place; for them, it would probably mean the end of the road.
If Sunak, the little Indian money-juggler, were to lose his seat, he would not even have to find a reason to relocate, with his immensely rich wife, to California. If so, good riddance.
Even were Labour to ebb to 40%, and the Cons to recover to 18% (where one opinion poll had them last week), that would still leave the Cons with a mere 35 MPs (Lab 435, LibDems 58, Greens 2, but Reform UK with 79 MPs!
A party has to get well beyond 20% to get any seats at all under the UK’s FPTP voting system, but if it can get 25%+, it may hit the jackpot.
We shall have to wait and see, but the situation looks dire for the treacherous and incompetent Con Party, and I doubt whether the latest pseudo-1940 “fight on the beaches” appeal, featuring the Indian money-juggler and the Jew Shapps (he of the 5 fake identities and the Israeli Bnai Brith membership) will do anything, except confirm that the voters will vote “ABC” (“Anywhere But Conservative”).
Talking point
I happened to be out early in the car this morning, and tuned in to the Radio 4 Today Programme for a few minutes. I caught most (I think) of an interview with a retired general, only a year older than me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Shirreff.
The general seemed to want, or want to risk, a war with Russia, and seemed totally signed-up to support for “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime). He wants “the Ukrainians” (Kiev regime) to be given more and more-powerful weapons, so that they can attack Russia, and far deeper inside Russia.
“That’s what you do in war, attack the enemy“, proclaimed the desk warrior (his only active “war” command a few months in the Gulf in 1991, as a major, and aged 36).
When the interviewer hesitantly wondered whether that might lead to all-out war between NATO and the Russian Federation, he seemed sanguine about that awful possibility.
The general also seemed to miss the point that, while the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev may be at war with the Russian Federation, we in the UK are not…; not yet, anyway, no thanks to people like him.
Britain has not been well-served by its chocolate soldiers of recent times, and it seems to me that their very limited-in-scope yet gung-ho pseudo-macho posturing might yet lead this country into becoming the target of Russia’s vast nuclear arsenal.

"If a social democratic, high-trust country like Denmark can publish data on migrant crime rates, then why can't Britain?" – Guy Dampier https://t.co/6v9cNQgktw
When I started at the (English) Bar in 1993 (I had been Called to the Bar a couple of years before that but was living in the USA), I did some criminal cases, mostly in the magistrates’ courts in London, and also some Crown Court trials. Most of the defendants were non-white. To some extent, that reflected the rather rackety chambers I was in, but not only that; most serious criminal defendants in London were non-white, mostly West Indian. That must be even more so in 2024, over 30 years later. That, despite the fact that, in 1993/1994, the proportion of non-whites in London was probably only about 10% to 20% (it’s 46% in 2024).
As for relatively recent migrants, say those who have “arrived” in the past two decades, it is hardly surprising that they commit a huge amount of crime: most are young or youngish men, few even speak English beyond a “pidgin” level, few have any marketable skills, and few have any money (though they must have had some previously in order to have been able to buy their passage from the people-smugglers).

“Russia only needed one crack in Ukraine’s defenses to increase its vulnerability – The New York Times.
Recent Russian offensives in eastern and northeastern Ukraine are beginning to “dangerously” change the geometry of the front for Kyiv. The “sudden” breakthrough of Russian troops in Ocheretino illustrated how even a small crack in the defense line can cause a cascading effect, threatening already stretched platoons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with encirclement from the flanks, writes The New York Times.
The publication spoke with Ukrainian soldiers and commanders on the front line. They acknowledged that they were in a more vulnerable position than at any time since the “first harrowing weeks” of the conflict.
Moscow is trying to use the window of opportunity that has opened. Its army is increasing pressure in the Donbass and is seeking to open a new front by attacking Ukrainian positions along the northern border near Kharkov.
According to the publication, months of delays in American assistance, a growing number of casualties and an acute shortage of ammunition led to dire consequences for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This is evidenced by the exhausted faces and tired voices of Ukrainian soldiers.
“To be honest, I’m scared,” the commander of a Ukrainian tank battalion told The New York Times. “Because if I don’t have shells, people, equipment with which my people can fight… then this is the end.”

For once, Sunak, the little Indian money-juggler, is telling the literal truth. Britain is a train about to hit the buffers at high speed. How much longer can a country absorb a million unwanted and mostly useless (at best) immigrants every single year? Forget the brainless Rwanda “plan”— that will only affect, at most, 1% of immigrants (about 10,000 a year), even if not cancelled by Starmer-Labour.
The big picture is that Britain has been condemned to decline by its own secret cabals and ruling circles. This did not start today, or yesterday, or last year; it has been in train for decades, and certainly since 1989. Those secret ruling circles are running down Europe, including the UK, and trying to build up China and the other Pacific Rim countries, and North America.
In their (Coudenhove-Kalergi) plan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan, Europe is set to decline, and to become mixed-race (white/black/brown), and ruled mainly by Jewish or (quite often) part-Jewish (and always pro-Israel) persons— examples include Rothschilds, “Boris” Johnson, Theresa May, David Cameron-Levita, Gideon “George” Osborne, Zac Goldsmith etc, to give a few examples only).
The public of the UK has been and is being conditioned to accept gradually declining standards in all areas, from legislative probity to administrative efficiency to road repair, to educational levels, to public order and policing. Pay. Living standards. State benefits. Pensions. All areas.
Also, being conditioned to accept absurd and arbitrary “policies”, “laws”, regulations” etc, as tried out during the Covid “panicdemic”/”scamdemic: stupid “rules” such as “social distancing”, “the Rule of Six”, the “stay at home” mandates and “lockdown” mandates; the fake and harmful “vaccines”. Etc.

Bonkers that the leader of a government that has imported literally millions of foreign citizens in a couple of years is pretending that our primary threats come from far away. Project Fear is the last refuge of the charlatan.
Time is running out for Sunak. People may not like or even trust Starmer and Labour, but Sunak and the misnamed “Conservatives” have used up all their credit with the public. To change metaphors, this government or, better, misgovernment is running on empty.
Here we are in mid-May 2024, and the latest a general election can be held is in January 2015, meaning that it has to be called by some date in December 2024, so 7 months at most.
Sunak is, at this point, not trying to “win” the next general election, just trying to mitigate the damage. If he is left with even, say, 150 MPs, rather than 100, or 50, or 30, he will be satisfied. The most recent polls have indicated a Conservative Party cadre in the Commons of as few as 13, incredibly.
The ruling cabals behind both main System parties are, for that reason, not too concerned which of those two parties, or facades, “wins” the 2024, or any other, General Election, because those hidden puppetmasters will ensure that the basic direction of travel stays the same in either case.
Look at how both Sunak and Starmer both fell over themselves to support Israel’s Gaza slaughter, in Starmer’s case even saying that it was OK for the Israeli Jews to cut off water and food to the Gazan civilians, most of whom were and are women and children.
If Esther McVey wants to crack down on poor use of taxpayers' money, she might start with the Tory MP for Tatton, who claimed £8750 on expenses for a personal photographer
If the photographer made Esther McVey look decent, he must have been a photographic genius, up there with Karsh, who made the slightly “stuffed shirt” Danish prince who took the title of Haakon VII of Norway look like a figure from legend in one of his Second World War photos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yousuf_Karsh.
Which also means that 32% of the British public, more than sympathise with either Israelis or Palestinian Arabs, sympathise with neither side (or “do not know”, or do not want to say)…

It would have been better had the whole Israel/Palestine area, and the rest of the Middle East, stayed under British (Palestine, Egypt etc) and French (Syria, Lebanon) rule and influence.

Sunak’s government of clowns really is running on empty.
In 2022 Natalie Elphicke used a debate on P&O sacking 800 workers & replacing them with cheaper foreign workers as an opportunity to attack trade unions.
Natalie Elphicke pretended to stay loyal to her foolish husband while he was on trial for pathetic minor sex crimes, divorced him after he was convicted and imprisoned, and arranged to replace him as Conservative Party MP for Dover. Now, realizing that the game is up, she defects to Labour! About as trustworthy as any triple agent…
Mick Lynch last year: "If you're coming to the electorate with a message of change, you've got to show that there will be real change. And that's what the country is crying out for"
Having said that, Natalie Elphicke is unarguably right about Sunak’s bad joke government. The very roads are like something out of the Ukraine now— potholed, rutted, unrepaired or, at best, poorly-patched.
I started to comment on the blog years ago about how, not overnight but over 10-15 or more years (even pre-dating “Conservative” governments post-2010) “nothing works in Britain these days”. The newspapers started to say the same a couple of years ago. Now, hardly anyone would argue about it.
It will be interesting to see whether Natalie Elphicke, if not adopted as Labour candidate for the Dover constituency, stands as Independent. It might be tight between Con and Lab anyway, but with Reform UK in the mix (and very likely to do well), and Natalie Elphicke potentially standing as Independent, it could be a very close contest indeed. She might even win.
Come to think of it, Natalie Elphicke might have done better to have defected to Reform UK, which would probably have made her its Dover candidate, and with a reasonable shot at winning in a three-way split.

“American journalist Clayton Morris: “Over the weekend we learned that NATO is actively trying to start a nuclear war. They are testing Putin to see if he is bluffing. Has he bluffed before? Has he ever bluffed? Does he look like a man who bluffs? Poland is ready to give up its territory under nuclear weapons, so that NATO strengthens its eastern flank. “You can put them here, but we must know that we can use it.” Bring nuclear weapons to Poland before the start of World War III. Great! Western leaders now…“
Poland seems to have forgotten the lessons of 1939-45…

Seems that the Jewish state wishes to create a road there, on the border of the Negev and Judean Hills regions, and wants the Bedouin inhabitants out for that reason. It may well be just a cover for gradual ethnic cleansing of the area.

[Kensington Roof Gardens, London, which date back to the 1930s]
London has large areas of unused roof space which could be turned into green space; not necessarily all open to the public, but still a haven for birds and a recreational resource for individual people, families, employee groups etc.
I had such ideas back in the mid/late 1970s, when I happened to see some of the views from the roof areas of tall buildings: a couple of the then-tall buildings of the City of London (now dwarfed by the new high buildings, of course), the British Gas building at Marble Arch etc; both during the daytime and at night.
Since those times, others with similar ideas but more resources have actually been able to make a few projects a reality. There remains huge scope.

4. While AZ may only have just been formally withdrawn in the UK, few are aware that GPs were no longer offering from June 2021 because of safety issues. That was weeks before Sarah Gilbert got that standing ovation at Wimbledon for leading the AZ development.🤡🌎
I remember seeing on TV all the clowns applauding that Gilbert person at Centre Court, Wimbledon; what puzzled me at the time is how the crowd even knew who she was. Was that all part of the propaganda of those times?
