Just as the founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale, has apparently been rather sidelined in UK school history teaching by some Jamaican woman called Mary Seacole, who, inter alia, ran a teashop for officers during the Crimean War.
Mary Seacole, who described herself as “a yellow woman“, i.e. some kind of Creole or mulatta (her father was a Scottish officer, and she also called herself “Creole“), was not a nurse, as such, or as we would understand the term, but primarily a businesswoman in the Caribbean/South American region; she ran hotels etc: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Seacole.
Wikipedia, while giving that information, yet describes Mary Seacole (in the headline description) as “a Black British nurse“! In fact, she is now described in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia piece simply as “…a British nurse“. An example of the faking of history which is now so widespread.
Mary Seacole’s mother was a “doctresse” (traditional healer) in Kingston, Jamaica, who taught her daughter basic healing and therapy.
Mary Seacole’s life is interesting enough without needing to be put through the process of “woke” hagiography.
One might add that Mary Seacole was not above looting churches etc for her own gain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Seacole#Crimean_War,_1853%E2%80%9356.
I do not think that one could imagine Florence Nightingale doing that.

Whatever one may think of Lord Ashcroft, the actions of the Imperial War Museum are, at the least, ungrateful.
I believe that the Imperial War Museum, which I visited once or twice when I was often in the neighbourhood in the early 1980s, has now given over much of its space to the Jew-Zionist WW2 “holocaust” farrago.

Not sure that I understand fully the filmic reference, never having seen the film, but I get the idea.
Correction: “…a Jewish pro-Israel secret slush fund that secured the leadership for Keir Starmer“…

My experience tallies more with tweeter “Cushnut”, though —obviously— anecdotal evidence is always suspect.
[“It is not racist to demand migrants speak English fluently It is not racist to demand migrants do not commit crime It is not racist to demand migrants contribute to the economy It is not racist to demand migrants do not live on welfare It is not racist to demand taxpayer-funded housing goes to taxpayers It is not racist to prioritise your own citizens Labour and the Left want you to think entirely reasonable and legitimate policies are โracistโ They are not.

…and whether or not someone or other calls something “racist” is actually irrelevant. What is important is what is right, whether or not it be called “racist”…
…and, as I noted on the blog yesterday, what is important is that Reform seems to have captured the settled voting intention of about a third of the electorate, somewhere between 28% and 36%. So long as the old System parties, or “legacy” parties are all below 25%, that leaves Reform in the dominant position, likely to have a plurality of Commons seats, and quite possibly a majority.
Huge numbers of non-Europeans have been granted “indefinite leave to remain” over past decades. Most should never have been granted such leave, and the same applies to all the “family members” that later joined them. Raus!
The gloves are coming off, but neither side should be directly targeting civilians.
It is unclear, though, whether or not some or all of the damage to residential buildings in Kiev was caused by botched Kiev-regime air defence missile launches.
The Conservative Party will probably end, or near its end, at the next General Election in (?) 2028 or 2029. Even if Kemi Badenoch goes and is then replaced by Jewish-lobby puppet Jenrick or another substitute.
As matters stand, any former Conservative (or other) voters wanting rid of Starmer-Labour will have to vote Reform, certainly in most English constituencies.
It is easy to forget that “Ukraine” (Kiev-regime Ukraine) only has, in broad-brush terms, whatever monies and weapons are supplied to it by others.
If Zelensky and his cabal look like they are going to launch powerful missile strikes on targets deep inside Russia, particularly Moscow and St. Petersburg, then I would not rule out a nuclear-weapons response from Russia.
Moscow wants to rule eastern Ukraine, including Kiev, not destroy or poison it, but there may come a point where a “devil’s balance” comes down too heavily on the one side of the scales.
Israel is doomed, in the medium-term.

The migrant-invaders are at best mere parasites; most are also involved in some form or forms of crime and illegality beyond being in the UK in the first place; a small (?) minority are also terrorists or supporters of terrorism.
Unpleasant policy wonk and scribbler who never has never had a real job in his life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsten_Bell.
I might not like Ed Davey very much either, but I would bet on Ed Davey lasting longer in Parliament than Torsten Bell.

Starmer has been comprehensively exposed as a wooden puppet of the Jewish lobby and Israel. He has no leadership abilities at all, and nothing at all interesting or useful to say to the British people.
