[“Kamal Adwan Hospital Director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, is being tortured and deprived of medical care in Israel captivity. According to Palestinian human rights organizations, citing Dr. Hussam Abu Safia’s lawyer, Ghayda Ghanem Qassem, after a recent visit, the critical condition of Kamal Adwan Hospital Director became known:

Dr. Abu Safia has lost 40 kilograms, his weight dropping from 100 to 60 kg.

He was subjected to severe beatings to his chest, face, head, and neck, which lasted for about 30 minutes.

The Israeli are denying him necessary medications and are not allowing a specialist doctor to see him.

Dr. Abu Safia has a heart rhythm disorder.

He is in winter clothing in harsh conditions of detention: hunger, torture, and solitary confinement. Dr. Abu Safia is being held in an underground cell without access to sunlight.”]

Those in Israel, and in other countries, such as the UK, who support the evil actions of Israel in Gaza and elsewhere, carry a heavy and, in time, crushing weight of responsibility.

Look who’s talking!

So, once again, UK and EU taxpayers are going to be stung in order to (try to) prop up the brutal, corrupt, shambolic regime in Kiev.

The last part of the tweet seems to refer to this other egregious case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farah_Damji.

[“In the week that Jeffrey Epstein’s black book is back in the news, it’s worth thinking about how the Zionist state uses sexual habits as leverage in British politics. John Woodcock (the Lord’s own punchline in nominative determinism), who now styles himself ‘Lord Walney‘, was chair of Labour Friends of Israel. He was suspended from the Labour Party amid allegations he had sexually harassed a former female member of staff. He resigned from the party before these allegations could be investigated by the Labour Party and served as one of the State of Israel’s chief assets in Parliament, along with John Mann, Ruth Smeeth and Luciana Berger. Woodcock served the Zionist smear campaign against the Corbynite Left and was then returned to Parliament as a life peer by Boris Johnson in 2020 as a vote of thanks both from the State of Israel and the Conservative Party, for his services to both. The State of Israel has acted as a shield for Woodcock against these sexual harassment allegations, protecting him along the way and the elevating him to the Lords. In return, his loyal service to the Zionists is to foment Islamophobic hate campaigns against charities, mosques and other Muslim organisations. Woodcock should be investigated by the security services as a potential agent of a hostile and illegitimate foreign state which spies on the UK extensively and subverts our politics more than any other state. It is a wonder that he has not been prosecuted under the National Security Act. What is the legislation for if it is not going to be used to discipline individuals such as Woodcock? #DismantleZionism“]

I have written in the past on the blog about mentally-unstable sex-pest John Woodcock (who is now married to Spectator scribbler, and fellow depressive case, Isabel Hardman). See:

Diary Blog, 9 February 2021, including an assessment of “Lord Walney” (John Woodcock)
John Woodcock, Barrow and Furness and the General Election 2017

Woodcock is, of course, an enemy of the British people. He should never have been either “ennobled” (a ludicrous designation when applied to someone of his sort) or appointed as a paid governmental adviser. Thank God the bastard has now been sacked.

Evil Woodcock’s origins seem to have been concealed. One can find little about his real background, family, parentage etc.

Quite a few MPs and former MPs in the UK seem to have their full details, origins etc deliberately concealed. Democracy? Largely meaningless.

Woodcock once tweeted —critically— to me, about a decade ago, but was then advised by fake “socialist” (himself part-Jew, despite the Zionist Jews being hostile to him), Owen Jones, not to talk to me because I was, apparently, “a Nazi“…

In the US, they call that kind of display a “chimp-out”. London is becoming, once you leave the more wealthy areas, a jungle, and in the jungle live the feral denizens of the jungle.

A friend of mine once lived somewhere north of Manor House. She became upset when I referred to it as “bandit country“, and that was over 25 years ago! Incidentally, that lady eventually fled to the South Coast, as many have done.

More Israeli-Jew war crimes.

Quite right. Why is the UK going to waste even more money on that failed dictatorship?

If there is any reality to that, it will change UK politics forever. It might result in a Commons with maybe 450-500 Reform MPs, and the old Lib-Lab-Con System parties, together with Corbyn-Labour and the Greens sharing about 100 MPs, about 20-40 each (Greens about 5).

UK General Election 2024— talking point

[…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”…]

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.

Tweeter “@WolfOf Badenoch” has pretty much encapsulated the “Conservative” offering…

As for Mark Spencer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Spencer_(British_politician)], at best mediocre.

His constituency, Sherwood, is considered fairly safe now, but before 2010 was more marginal.

“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:

[Israeli flag officially projected onto 10 Downing Street in October 2023]

[the last “Don’t Know” figure was 51%].

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.

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.

The types of recruit quite likely to carry out atrocities.

Even now, after the devastation of the past 7 months, “they” have still not quite had their full pound of…whatever.

Blinken’s apparently mad but evidently carefully and deliberately made decision may trigger the use of even more powerful Russian weapons and, ultimately, even strategic ones.

Madder yet, this policy change will not turn the tide for the Kiev regime. Zelensky’s cabal is running out of soldiers, primarily. The Kiev war machine is almost running on empty.

Hungary should leave NATO. Britain should leave NATO.

For once, I agree with the egregious Myerson.

So there we have it. More hundreds of millions of pounds wasted. For nothing.

The only winners (save for the migrant invaders themselves) will be the Rwandans, who have received money and other help in return for services that they will now never have to provide.

Imagine someone who holds letters patent as “KC” being unable to spell “loses“. Britain, 2024.

Incidentally, as of 1530 today, and by my count, Myerson has tweeted no less than 51 times since this morning. It’s only mid-afternoon, so there are several hours still ahead before sunset, when he will stop, because today is a Friday. A Jewish-Zionist obsessive. He should not be sitting as a Recorder (p/t judge). To have him sitting on the Bench diminishes public confidence in the Bench itself.

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.

Today, Sunak visited the “Titanic Quarter” in Belfast [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_Quarter].

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.

Con— 47 MPs. Meaning that ~297 Con MPs are about to lose their seats. It also means that ~343 new Labour MPs are about to take their places. Who are they? What are their beliefs? Are many even English?

“Britons who own their homes outright – who will have been insulated from recent housing cost increases – are split 32-32 on voting Labour or Conservative.

Other housing tenure groups are overwhelmingly backing Labour. Own outright: Lab 32% / Con 32% Own with mortgage: Lab 52% / Con 15% Private rent: Lab 55% / Con 12% Social rent: Lab 46% / Con 15%.“

“The Right“is a meaningless label. Only proper social nationalism can save what is worth saving in the UK now. That does mean opposing Zionism (as well as Islamism). Goodwin is in some other reality.

I have the answers, but no-one, almost no-one, has ever heard of me, and of those who have not all, so far, support me or my views.

I start —very late— today, and with thanks to “Claudius”, an occasional commentator on the comment pages of my blog, who sent me the following short piece on Irish history; well worth reading:

https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2019/08/30/become-other-than-white-ireland-and-radical-jewish-activism/

In relation to the part of that article dealing with the Jewish-Zionist influence in contemporary Ireland,  it seems that the existence of even a few “embedded” Jew Zionists (embedded in the “Establishment” or local power structure) can ruin a country. Indeed, that may be the result of even one such “embedded” Jew, as with Barbara Lerner Spectre in Sweden: see below).

[note the typical disconnect between “smiling” and any reason to smile. As someone once put it, “the simulacrum of the human”. Like a faulty electrical connection].

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

If comments seen are correct, Barbara Lerner Spectre has now relocated back to Israel, as Sweden burns.

The ultimate aim of this sort of thing is contained within the sinister Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://www.westernspring.co.uk/the-coudenhove-kalergi-plan-the-genocide-of-the-peoples-of-europe/ ;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_von_Coudenhove-Kalergi;

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

Sometimes fiction is fact that has not yet happened: e.g. Jules Verne novels, or The Camp of the Saints etc…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Camp_of_the_Saints

I have written previously about the sad state of Sweden:

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/10/18/the-swedish-sickness-contaminating-the-rest-of-europe-what-is-it/

Another aspect of all this (and which affects the advanced parts of the world generally) is the existence and influence of the unpleasant System puppet, Greta Thunberg:

“Weirdos and misfits”?…

A new No.10 “weirdo and misfit”, but, arguably, not entirely wrong in his views:

https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/political-parties/conservative-party/news/109931/new-downing-street-adviser-called-universal

BBC

Saw this unthinking and almost kindergarten “analysis” of the BBC’s situation:

https://twitter.com/DaleksGamertag/status/1229050799432617984?s=20

Where to start? Firstly, “Labour” and the “Conservatives” are not “two sides” politically in any meaningful sense. Two faces of one lying whole. The BBC is pushing the whole multikulti agenda to the max. It lies to the British people time and again, it pushes and promotes every kind of decadence, and that is before we even consider its overpayment of its supposed “stars”. Why is the former footballer Gary Lineker paid something like £2M a year to shoot the breeze about his sport? Why are newsreaders paid hundreds of thousands of pounds per year? And so on.

I am in favour of “public service broadcasting”, but most of the time the BBC is not it…

The Mayor of London cannot distinguish reality from semblance

There was a time when Sadiq Khan was spoken of as a possible leader of the Labour Party and even as a potential Prime Minister. That was then. Since then, he has failed to prevent multikulti London becoming a crime-ridden ant-heap split between masses of downtrodden people and the few who buy Georgian houses, fortify them, then excavate vast 10-storey dystopia-cellars below ground. In Xanadu, did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure-dome decree…

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2018/11/15/when-reality-becomes-subjective/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadiq_Khan#Political_image_and_views

As always, credit where due: at least Sadiq Khan, by retaining his Tooting seat in 2010, prevented the evil Mark Clarke from becoming an MP. Clarke himself now has no prospect of ever becoming an MP and has been sacked at least twice for being a sex-pest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Clarke_(politician)

Rebecca Long-Bailey

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Long-Bailey

Rebecca Long-Bailey on the Marr show:

Well, what can one say? Doormatting for the Jew lobby, trying to curry favour with the wealthy or influential Jews (the rest are not of interest to her or Labour, because even en bloc they represent only 300,000 votes and most of them vote Conservative anyway). She also seems not particularly intelligent. And why quote the “IHRA definition” of “antisemitism” when it has been “adopted” by only about 15 countries out of nearly 200? Is that more doormatting?

Rebecca Long-Bailey may or may not become Labour leader (it seems unlikely) but whether she does or not, she will never be Prime Minister. I mean, just look at her…

Oh, God…look at this! She’s just a lunatic, or at least an unthinking “me too-er”:

I had no great interest in Rebecca Long-Bailey previously and knew little about her, but I see now what a very poor candidate she is. She is a walking, purse-lipped collection of politically-correct soundbites. How can she even in her wildest dreams see herself as a Prime Minister?!

Listening to Twitter clips of Rebecca Long-Bailey and her supporter Angela Rayner (candidate for Deputy Leader) on the Marr show, I really think that Labour must be on the way out, despite the fact that it had very considerable support among younger voters (under the age of 25, especially) at the 2019 General Election.

How does Rebecca Long-Bailey consider that Israel as a state is not a “racist endeavour”? It was founded by Jews for Jews! Yes, they do employ some others, mainly the Palestinian Arabs whose ancestors they defeated in their ethnic-cleansing war of 1948. Does that change the nature of the state? The whole enterprise is a Jew ethnostate! That is one reason (as well as a place to dump the Jews that Hitler wanted out of the Reich, out of Europe) why the Reich did not oppose its — then only potential— founding.

After the recent Irish General Election, many are trawling news from past decades…

Endeavour

Watched a new episode of Endeavour. Quite well-executed as always, but the “agenda”, as in other series such as Grantchester etc, becomes so very obvious that it is silly. Every second character is black, South Asian or gay. This in the Oxford of 1970! Even the tinker “gypsy” children who find one of the bodies near their caravans are playing football with a black boy; and the mother of a “racist” teenager who is stabbed later blames the “British Movement” and its Parliamentary candidate, so redeeming herself as a true multikulti convertee. All a bit too desperate…

Endeavour has also continued the Inspector Morse and Lewis tradition of a few subtle or not so subtle jests in each film. In this case, a Bangladeshi restaurant called The Jolly Rajah and an apartment building called Tiffin Court…

Even leaving the above gripes aside, the plot this time was nowhere near as good as in most if not all previous episodes.

Dominic Cummings, A Government of Dystopia, and Lunacy Posing As Genius

Dominic Cummings is in the news again.

Someone is at least on the right track…

https://twitter.com/dlknowles/status/1212812771416559616?s=20

https://twitter.com/AndrewzCooper/status/1212506655184818176?s=20

https://twitter.com/thomjolliffe/status/1212816583237816320?s=20

Good grief! If this [see below] really is a snapshot of the mind of Dominic Cummings, then the government really is in the hands not only of idiots (eg Boris-idiot, Priti Patel etc) but of lunatics.

It also reminds us that lunacy is not really so hard to distinguish from genius, in most cases.

[Update, 23 January 2020: the full lunacy of Cummings’ blog post, some of which was in the deleted tweet above, seems to have been expunged from the Internet, though maybe one of his “weirdos and misfits” would be able to find it]

[Update, 12 May 2024: the tweet appears to have been reinstated on Twitter/X and so is now visible here too]

The above (apparently from a blog penned by Cummings) is an inward-gazing stream of consciousness (though purporting to be to the point) worthy of someone whose residential address ends with the word “Hospital”, or similar.

What makes it alarming is that Cummings is not just a stray “Conservative” (and the word seems ever-less useful as a descriptor) who is on the periphery of power (in the way that the Monday Club or the Bow Group used to be), but someone right at the centre of what could be (perhaps inaccurately) called the Johnson Project. Indeed, “Cummings Project” might be more accurate. Boris Johnson himself has few ideas beyond schoolboy fantasies such as building bridges from Scotland to Ireland, creating artificial islands with Metropolis airports on them etc.

There was talk before the recent General Election that in Cabinet (effectively in Cabinet; I suppose technically, Cabinet committee), Cummings actually overruled the Prime Minister several times. Not just spoke over him, but overruled him on decisions! Now, OK, the person posing as Prime Minister is Boris-idiot, a bad joke PM who is a proven serial —indeed constant— liar, incompetent and fantasist, but there is still such a thing as respect for the office itself…

Dominic Cummings seems to me (admittedly only from what I have read…I have never met him or anyone who has met him) to be like a person who is somewhere between a guest and a gatecrasher at a dinner party, someone who has no idea how to behave and who has no respect for the hosts, the guests, the staff or the event.

Is there anything correct about his views re. government and civil service? Yes, the gene pool is shallow or narrow; in politics now even more so than in the administration proper (Civil Service), but the answer to that is to carefully reform recruitment and training, as well as overall structure, not to let off hand grenades all over Westminster.

I think that we have to remind ourselves that governing the UK is not some kind of pathetic country house weekend game in the drawing room or Hall. This impacts on real people, in their millions, all over this country. It is not a matter of scribbling some clever little half-baked idea that can be run up the flagpole at the Oxford Union or (taking on board the Cummings dislike of Oxbridge) a Spectator drinks party.

This made me laugh, though!

I have to say that I agree with the tweeter below:

https://twitter.com/ElliotElinor/status/1212808853932445696?s=20

It may seem lazy to say “it is easier to destroy than create”, but the thing about truisms is that they contain truth. The machinery of administration and government in the UK was created over centuries, and particularly in the century or so since the mid-Victorian era. Once you tear it to pieces, you may find that groups of supposedly terribly clever little people, weirdos and misfits, sitting in groups around Whitehall, cannot in fact replace what presently exists.

Britain today has already suffered a number of shocks to its postwar (post-1945) stability: Thatcherism, mass immigration (accelerated since 1997), Blair-Brown “reforms”, the financial crisis of 2008, the fake “austerity” of the evil 2010-2019 “Conservative” governments (particularly the half-baked idiocies of Dunce Duncan Smith and his underlings). Now this.

Dominic Cummings is a History graduate, for what that is now worth. He will know, I presume, what happens to societies when everything that underpins their stability is knocked away. I presume that he also knows that revolutions usually consume their own children…
