Good grief.

Those are the terms of a victor, not of a vanquished state.

Israel is doomed. When its doom finally arrives, then will be the time to deal with its fifth column(s) across the world.

GB News is more or less Jewish-lobby, Israel-lobby, propaganda.

The state of Israel should never have been allowed to come into existence.

Our animal friends.

Witkoff“… Where do his ultimate loyalties lie?

Translates to a Commons with about 383 Reform UK MPs (very solid majority), 59 LibDems (very weak official Opposition), 49 Cons, 46 Lab, 45 SNP, 42 Greens [etc].

As with all recent (last few months) opinion polls, this one shows that Starmer will probably lose his own seat at the next general election.

[“David Lammy has been the Labour MP for Tottenham since 2000. He is currently the Deputy Prime Minister, Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor. David has had a rewarding and successful career thus far. He has travelled all over the world in his roles as Shadow and actual Foreign Secretary. He is officially titled ‘Envoy Extraordinaire’ in his role at the University of Guyana and indeed, David’s career as an MP has been extraordinary on many levels. David has said that Margaret Thatcher was a ‘“visionary leader for the UK”.’ Whether David’s predecessor in Tottenham, Bernie Grant, would have agreed with him is open to question. David has described himself as a ‘“liberal, progressive Zionist”’ and is a member of the lobby organisation Labour Friends of Israel. The @ElectoralCommUK and Register of Interests show that David has received £752,849.60 in donations and perks. These include: £70,000 from Gary Lubner. £67,674 in 2 payments from the Trevor Chinn, Martin Taylor, Gary Lubner funded/Morgan McSweeney/Josh Simons run consortium @LabourTogether £12,500 from Lord Waheed Alli. £30,000 from Transilluminate Ltd. £5,000 from Samantha Hackett. £10,000 from@SilkRdConsult £2,500 from Clare Parsons. £7,000 from Lady Susan Woodford Hollick. £20,000 from Lady Jeanne Marie Davies. £7,500 from Richard Geer. £15,000 from Richard Lewis. £25,000 from one George Brown. (There is effectively no information on who this George Brown is or what he does as is the case with quite a few of David’s donors.) £24,739 from Conservation International do Brasil. £15,000 from Jonathan Stone. £10,000 from Stephen Fitzgerald. £2,500 from Tony Langham. £5,000 from Karen Blackett. £3,000 from@BuchlerPhillips £805 from the University of Glasgow to cover David’s accommodation, refreshments and transport when he received his honorary degree.

David has a successful parallel career as a public speaker. He travels all over the world to speak at prestigious events: political and cultural meetings, literary festivals, Bilderberg conventions, war veteran commemorations and more. David is remunerated for these speaking engagements and has received approximately £78,896 to date. Another rewarding parallel career for David has been his stints on various radio shows. The Register of Interests shows that David has received approximately £110,145 from @LBC, Global Radio, @ITG_Ltd and other media outlets. Approximately £7,000 in tickets and hospitality from @SpursOfficial for matches and other sporting events. £800 in tickets and hospitality from @getir for a match at @SpursOfficial

With his approximately £200,000+ salary, expenses, donations, rental income, perks, speaking engagements, radio and media appearances, visiting professorships, his continuing ties as an ‘Associate Tenant’ to Doughty Street Chambers and his shareholdings in the Pomeroon Trading Company, there can be no doubt that David has enjoyed a very successful 26 years as an MP. And as an MP, David initially voted to retain the two-child benefit cap, voted to scrap the winter fuel payment, voted for the welfare changes that will impact people who are disabled and unwell, voted against an inquiry into grooming gangs and voted to scrap trials by jury.

The Labour Party – Working For You’.“]

Lammy is just an ignorant, moneygrasping, monkey-on-a-stick for the Jewish/Israel lobby.

1,000…in one single day. Tomorrow, another 1,000, or 2,000.

[for “refugees“, read “invaders”]

I think that the reason Trump “blinked” was because powerful elements of the “Deep State”, maybe the Joint Chiefs etc, were unwilling to obey any order to wipe out the Iranians as a people, an idea which can only have come from the Israelis and their American “fifth column” within the Washington “establishment”, preying on Trump’s quite obviously diseased mind.

The (Israeli) Jews are not going to stop hitting Lebanon and Hezbollah, so Trump etc will either have to withdraw aid to Israel or (and/or) accept that the Strait of Hormuz will continue to be closed (and taxed) by Iran.

Forget the Easter Bunny. The White House is once again a bunch of clowns, just as it was under Biden.

Farage once again proves that being a populist politician within the corrupt pseudo-democratic System process or mechanism does not translate to being any kind of statesman.

As I have blogged for years, Reform is not the social-national party Britain needs. It is too pseudo-“libertarian”, too Conservative-lookalike, too tied in with the Jewish/Israeli lobby etc. That is why it has been unable to maintain its highwater mark of 35% (a year ago) in the opinion polls, and so it fluctuates within a broadly 24%-30% band. Still enough to “win” a general election, of course, when other parties are at or below 20%, but not enough to have a real mandate.

I agree, and yet the “MAGA” fanatics from American one-horse towns and, even more disturbingly, some pro-Trump deadheads in the UK, are refusing to accept that the anti-Iran war has been a strategic loss on a huge scale for the USA. They really seem to think that you win wars by bombing the hell out of a country, then hope that things will turn out well in the end (cf. Iraq, cf. Afghanistan; cf. Libya; cf. Syria).

Many of those idiots are also still referencing the (either non-existent, or only germinal) “Iranian nuclear missiles programme” and how destroying this chimera has been a huge success…What can one say?…

Why bother to track the oil tankers at all? To do so using a basically civilian Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel is utterly pointless. War games, and ones that just make this country look stupid.

Israel is a rogue state, and worse than that because it has wealthy and influential “fifth columns” of Zionist Jews in many advanced countries of the world. The only way to deal with it and contain it (short of actual obliteration) is for the US and other countries (especially Germany) to stop subsidizing Israel, to stop sending it or selling it arms and ammunition, and to boycott anything to do with it.

Former economic adviser to Israel’s chief of staff, Ram Aminah, said: “Israeli society does not understand the extent of Hezbollah’s power” because it has a large stockpile of missiles, he added. Hezbollah is considered one of the five superpowers along with the United States, China, Russia and Germany.

Interesting and unexpected. All the same, Hezbollah is not part of the nuclear club: no Trident, no French force de frappe

When they are given power…

Wonder what that idiot-tweeter will say when real social-nationalism arrives…

Incidentally, that Britain Elects poll result, if it is right, would mean a House of Commons with 469 Labour MPs (overall majority 288), 75 LibDems, 56 Con MPs, 15 SNP, 9 Reform UK, 3 Green (etc). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

My view is that it would be better to raise the threshold to at least the £20,000 level, but increase the tax burden of VAT (overall). True, that would hit poorer people disproportionately, but at the same time would put the choice into their hands, in fact into the hands of all consumers. Basic purchases, such as food, or basic foodstuffs, could be charged out at a lower rate or rates, or zero-rated.

Government needs tax monies in order to fund the functions of government.

Another stunning opinion poll, if accurate.

That poll, by my use of Electoral Calculus, would result in a House of Commons with 454 Labour MPs (overall majority 258), 74 LibDems, 46 Cons, 34 Reform UK, 15 SNP, 4 Green (etc).

That People Polling opinion poll comes very close to my own (I hope, educated) guess about what might be the result of tomorrow’s General Election. Labour as “elected” (by default) dictatorship, LibDems the official but completely toothless Opposition (again only by default), and Reform UK in a good position to capitalize on what will soon be Labour’s total let-down as a government. Oh, and the SNP put back in its box, probably permanently.

As for the Conservative Party, if not totally wiped out on the day, mortally wounded.

I also tend to agree, as I have been blogging recently. “Shy Reform UK voters”, unwilling to share their tendency with pollsters, may add up to something significant, if they vote at all.

That means a House of Commons with 472 Labour MPs (overall majority 294), LibDems 69, Cons 63, SNP 15, Reform 6, Greens 3 (etc).

Once again, LibDems as official Opposition. About half the polls are predicting that the LibDems will get more MPs than the Cons. I imagine that large donors to the Conservative Party will close their pocketbooks soon. A party not in government and not even the main opposition party has little influence.

1700 hrs now. 17 hours before the polls open for real.

This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember.

When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand. I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit… so Frank was gone.

Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return. How dare they do this to him. How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing.

After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive. So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result… Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain… Brilliant!!

He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see. It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no… the little guy can win. If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man.

A nice story, and an illustration on a small scale of what society could be.

Not an area I know (have been there a couple of times, 30-40 years ago), but if I am ever there, admittedly highly unlikely, I’ll take that coffee.

A man has been convicted of strangling his wife while her online boyfriend was on a video link, and throwing her body hidden in a suitcase into a tributary of the River Thames.

Aminan Rahman, 46, was found guilty by a jury at the Old Bailey of murdering Suma Begum, 24, in a flat in east London on the night of 29 April last year.

The killing was witnessed by Begum’s two children, aged four months and two years, and her online boyfriend via a video call from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he was living.
