Talking point

The only two factors preventing Britain and other European countries from retaking direct control of Africa, of all of Africa, are

1. socio-political will; and

2. the fact that the (((globalists))) find it more convenient to exploit Africa’s resources via corrupt tiny “elites” in each fake African “state” (and to hell with the environment, the forests, the wildlife, and the African people themselves).

The fact is that European rule would benefit all, not least the ordinary Africans.

Incidentally, it would be a great deal easier than many imagine for Europe to reconquer Africa militarily. Only the two factors already noted make it at all hard.”

[from my blog post of 5 October 2024]

Another talking point from the same 2024 blog post (originally headed “The “fake history” of the 1970s“)

I have blogged in the past about how very many people (including, weirdly, many who were at least in their teens then, and so actually of an age to remember) say, and even perhaps believe, that the 1970s in the UK were some kind of dark age in which the electricity was off most of the time, in which bodies were left unburied by reason of industrial action, in which trains and buses rarely ran, in which rubbish piled up in the towns and cities, in which there was a “three day week” when offices and factories were closed for four days each week, and in which life was generally miserable (for example, food was terrible, they say).

The above-noted fabled dystopia was, we are told, the result of overreaching trade union power and Labour misgovernment.

Where to start?

First of all, the party in power for the first 4 years of the 1970s was the Conservative Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_United_Kingdom_general_election, and of course Mrs Thatcher won again for the Conservatives in 1979: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_United_Kingdom_general_election.

In other words, out of the 10 years, Labour was in power for about 6 years. Labour government was in place from the early 1960s until mid-1970, then from early 1974 until mid-1979.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_1974_United_Kingdom_general_electionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election.

One interesting fact is that, in the 1966 General Election, the “two main parties” (Lab/Con) got exactly 98% of Commons seats on just under 90% of the popular vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_United_Kingdom_general_election#Results.

Compare to 2024: 81.8% of seats based on 57.4% of the popular vote.

In 1966, the winning party (Labour) got 48% of the popular vote, the losing Conservatives 41.9%.

In 2024, Labour got 33.7%, and the losing Conservatives only 23.7%.

The electoral system has become not just unfair but also illogical and ridiculous. It no longer reflects reality.

Reverting to the general situation in the 1970s, the much-talked-about “Three Day Week” only affected, directly, commercial operations (which were banned from using electricity on the other four days). The Three Day Week only lasted for two months. Out of 10 years (120 months).

I saw the Three Day Week firsthand. I was working, aged just 18, as supposed assistant manager in a very small commercial intelligence outfit based in the Strand (London). The office only had 5 people including me, though we did have a network of mostly ad-hoc agents all over the southern and eastern parts of England (anywhere south or southwest of The Wash). Much of the work was in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Essex. The agents were often retired Army officers who, on being contacted, would —eagerly— say something such as “right-oh, old boy. I’ll fire up the Rover and get onto it.”

I must do a blog post sometime about it.

There were, in the early 1970s, strikes by coal miners etc, resulting in a few brief power cuts (“outages”, as the Americans say), but they lasted for a few hours a day, for a few days. Out of 10 years, again.

In the “Winter of Discontent” (1978-79), there were, for a few weeks, situations in some towns and cities whereby rubbish piled up, yes; that much of the “fable” is true, but only for a brief time. As for the “bodies left unburied“, that only applied in Liverpool and Manchester and only for 14 days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent#Gravediggers’_strike.

In fact, though the 1970s had its problems political, social, economic, Britain still had possibilities. The population was still almost entirely white Northern European, new ideas and projects were around or developing (the Milton Keynes conurbation, the Open University, new express trains, cross-Channel hovercraft etc), and the absurd and damaging house-price madness, though it had started, was still in its early stages.

Britain still had a functioning Army, Navy, Air Force (etc), and a police force that mainly did its expected job and was not usually the sort of poundshop Stasi we now see, snooping on or “monitoring” the expression of views and opinions.

Incidentally, the food was OK back then on the whole. Slightly less cosmopolitan, yes, but in the South of England at least, foreign foods such as hummus, taramasalata, olives, Indian, Chinese, etc were ubiquitous. In fact, some food was better and more available back then.

What I find worrying is not only that people who were not there, or were small children, are convinced that England in 1970-1979 was a dark and gloomy place; more that people who were there seem to have substituted, for what actually happened, a kind of folk-tale.

As for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Largan, who was parachuted into the constituency of High Peak (Derbyshire) and served as MP from GE 2019 to GE 2024, he was only born in 1987.

If people cannot recall accurately the 1970s, how much less accurate must be the “memories”, often publicized, of the 1930s and 1940s.

[extract from a blog post of 5 October 2024]

Update to that blog piece:

Former MP Robert Largan, who has, in past years, tweeted about me a couple of times in a hostile manner, and who crowed mightily on behalf of the malicious Jew-Zionist pro-Israel cabal, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, when his own constituent, Alison Chabloz, was imprisoned for having (notionally, supposedly) “offended” Jews by having sung songs , lost his Commons seat in 2024. One of the shortest political careers on record, and one unlikely to be resurrected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Largan; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Peak_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

I think that Largan wants to come back as MP for High Peak, but that will probably prove to be a vain hope. Even were he to be reselected by the Conservative Party (surely unlikely, after his dishonesty during the 2024 campaign— see Wikipedia), the Conservative Party “brand” is ebbing away to nothing nationwide. Largan’s only hope would be to join Reform UK, and then hope to be selected as their candidate for High Peak. Very unlikely, though “never say never” in politics.

Incidentally, on that same blog post from last October, I noted Matt Goodwin’s excited tweet about how Reform UK had reached its highest-ever opinion poll level— 20%! Here we are, just under a year later, and Reform is at about or as high as 35%, and rarely goes below 30%.

Further talking point (from a blog post published in September 2024)

The Second World War was disastrous in many ways: including the destruction of the German Reich; the reinforcement of Stalinism not only in the Soviet Union but also across both Eastern and Central Europe; the huge human and animal cost in terms of death, injury, and other harm; the destruction of the very concept of “Central Europe” [“Mitteleuropa”] for nearly two generations; the collapse of the civilized European empires across Africa, Asia, and elsewhere; the huge environmental, wildlife and human cost of decolonization; the near-squeezing-out from Europe of European-centred ideology between American finance-capitalism and Marxist-Leninist Sovietism; the 1948 establishment of the state of Israel, and the consequent increase of Jewish wealth, influence and power in the world generally; the shrinking proportion of white Northern Europeans as against the general population of the world.

Today, we again stand on the brink of European and “world” war. If it were to happen, and whether it were to start in the Middle East or Eastern Europe, or even in the Far East, it would be more disastrous in its consequences even than were the previous two “world” wars.

Statesmen and political leaders of all existing states must pull back from the brink.

The situation today, a year later, is more or less the same, though arguably even more perilous.

The label “genocide” matters little. What matters is what the Israeli Jews are actually doing in Gaza, and that is bad enough.

Accurate… I spent 9 months in East Africa. It’s very hard to pinpoint exactly why it’s such a mess.

They have an infantile mentality and absolutely no commercial sense.

I once went about 10 miles down the road, in the middle of nowhere on the way to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and every 50 meters there was someone selling watermelon. I said to the driver, “Everyone is selling exactly the same product. Why don’t they try making watermelon juice or something different to stand out?” He replied, “But why would we do that? We like melon!”

That attitude was everywhere. In fact, I would sometimes meet Westerners who would say, “Isn’t it amazing how they’ve kept this piece of junk car going for 30 years?” And I’d reply, “It’s more amazing that we have automated car factories with robots.” They literally only focus on the immediate need. “Car not go today, car fixed with string and tape.

Illiterate travel

I have just read this, https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/travel/sarajevo-guide-balkans-bosnia-and-herzegovina-b1176081.html, a travel piece in what I still call the Evening Standard, and written by well-known columnist Suzanne Moore. Not hugely interesting anyway, but then absurdly badly-written. An essay by a 10-year-old, at best. Or is the sub-editing to blame? Maybe someone pushed a few of the wrong buttons. Extraordinary. Read it and see.

I have read other pieces by Suzanne Moore which were written properly, so maybe it was the fault of the Standard.

Pretty accurate summing-up of “Starmer-ism”, in my opinion, “Blairism without the good bits“, though I do not recall many good bits then either, speaking personally.

As far as assisted dying is concerned, I see it as a generally well-meaning attempt to be kind, which however, put into policy and law, is the start of a slide to, eventually, somewhere down the line, killing people for convenience or money.

Jewish National Fund UK chair: ‘Jews have no future in England

In an interview with the Jerusalem Post earlier this month, Jewish National Fund UK chair Samuel Hayek warned British Jews may “feel more comfortable” after the defeat of Jeremy Corbyn but “the underlying issues have not gone away”.

In addition to suggesting British Jews should consider emigration, he said: “Let’s assume that Corbyn would have become prime minister. We all know our lives would have changed without recognition. We cannot even understand it fully.”

“Is it easy to sell their businesses?” he asked. “Could they do it quickly? Where would they go? To South Africa, the United States, Canada – hopefully, Israel.”

A Jew like Giles Coren can suggest that someone (Mira bar-Hillel, a Jewish, but anti-Zionist, journalist) who is both named, and known to Coren, be killed by Jew Zionists, but will the police take any interest? No, of course not; yet if you, as an English person, say “boo” not even to a Jew but about him (or her, or it), the skies will fall in as the police —or even, maybe, their “anti-terror command”— play at being a poundland KGB.

Labour Party

Interesting, and typical of many tweets seen this morning. Looks as if Keir Starmer’s Jewish-lobby “Labour” Party (Rachel Reeves, like Starmer and all his Shadow Cabinet, being a fervent member of Labour Friends of Israel) is not convincing many. I concede that Twitter is very unrepresentative, but offline I have not met an openly Labour supporter or voter for about 7 years.

That is one reason why I took a very early look, a few days ago, at the Erdington by-election. That looks very much like it is going to be a straight Labour-Conservative fight, in a situation where both main System parties have lost public confidence. The question is, which party is hated and/or despised the most?

In recent by-elections, the Conservative Party has done badly, losing two hitherto safe Con seats, but to the LibDems as relatively uncontroversial third party, not to Labour. Both Chesham and Amersham, and North Shropshire, were considered safe Con seats. Birmingham Erdington has been a safe Labour seat since the 1930s (with a near-upset in 1983).

The Conservative Party vote-share fell hugely in the two by-elections mentioned; it also fell at the 2021 Batley and Spen by-election (won narrowly by Labour), and that at Old Sidcup and Bexley (won easily by the Conservatives).

However, in all those by-elections except Old Bexley, the Labour vote also fell, and by a considerable amount. The Labour percentage vote-shares were: Batley and Spen 35.3%; Old Bexley and Sidcup 30.9%; North Shropshire 9.7%; Chesham and Amersham 1.6%.

Another, earlier, 2021 by-election, was that held at Hartlepool, in March 2021. There, in a seat always Labour since its establishment in 1974 (and usually also in the predecessor constituency), and where Labour candidates almost always scored over 50% (Peter Mandelson 60.7% in 1997), Labour’s losing (to Conservatives) 2021 by-election vote-share was only 28.7%.

None of Labour’s 2021 by-election results can be plausibly laid at the door of the departed Jeremy Corbyn.

Out of those 5 by-elections, only one success (Batley and Spen) and only one increase in vote-share (Old Bexley and Sidcup). To me, the results show that Labour is being seen as not only unpopular but as actually irrelevant. As I have noted before, the Keir Starmer “pitch” to the public is, more or less, “we support what the Government is doing, on the whole, but it should be doing it better, and while down on one knee and wearing a facemask“. Not very inspiring.

The odds must be that the Birmingham Erdington by-election will go Labour’s way, but I am unsure about that. Until the past few weeks, I should have said that the Cons were only a couple of points behind Lab in the constituency. Now? Hard to say. This may be a battle between two blocs of apathy…

Islington North: more Labour Party news

A high-profile Labour woman who lost her seat ‘thanks to Jeremy Corbyn‘ should be the candidate to end his Commons career, it was suggested last night.

Party insiders say that one of several female MPs who lost in the disastrous 2019 election would be Labour’s best choice to stand against the former leader in his North London stronghold, Islington North.

Mr Corbyn is currently barred from standing as the Labour candidate in the next General Election because of a bitter antisemitism row with Sir Keir Starmer.” [Mail on Sunday]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10382919/Labour-woman-lines-Jeremy-Corbyn-London-stronghold-Islington-North.html

I think that one can guess what (((type))) of individual thought up that bitter and vindictive “pound of flesh” idea…

Mary Creagh was one of the most active and fervent pro-Israel drones in the Commons; Ruth Smeeth, half-Jewish and descended on one side from East London gangsters, was exposed by Wikileaks as listed as a “to be strictly protected” secret informant by the U.S. Embassy in London. In effect, an agent or spy, to put it one way. It is not known (by me) whether she was paid for that. Before becoming an MP, she was also employed by the Israeli propaganda operation known as BICOM.

Both women were or are members of Labour Friends of Israel. Both were found well-paid jobs heading non-governmental orgs after the electors of their constituencies disposed of them.

As to what might well happen if one of those two is selected by the Jewish-lobby “Labour” Party now headed by Keir Starmer to contest Islington North, that might be interesting.

Islington North is a very solid Labour stronghold. The last election there won by the Conservative Party was in 1935. No Labour Party candidate since 1931 has recorded a vote-share below 40%.

Corbyn has been MP for Islington North since 1983, and his peak vote-share of 73% (in 2017) exceeded even that which he achieved in 1997 (69.3%) and that of the winning Labour candidate in 1945 (67.4%). In 2019, his vote was at 64.3%. Only when he was first elected in 1983 did his vote-share dip below 50% (40.4%), and that was because the Social Democratic Party stood, and garnered a vote of 22.4% (Con 25.3%).

How much of that solid Labour voting is for Labour label, and how much for Corbyn? We have seen many past examples of former Labour MPs standing as independent or small-party candidates, only to be swept away. No doubt Starmer and “Labour Friends of Israel” hope that that will happen in this case. I doubt it.

This situation is, as far as I know, unprecedented. Former Labour ministers have stood against Labour in the past (notably in the SDP days), and with mixed but generally poor results. Never, however, has a former Labour Party leader stood for election in a constituency, against an official Labour Party candidate.

Corbyn is extremely well-known, to say the least, both in the country generally (since 2015) and in the constituency (since 1983; 38 years…).

I should think that, in such unique circumstances, Corbyn would have every chance if he stood as Independent, or Independent Labour. I doubt that, with his background, he would start a new party.

The Conservative Party vote-share in the constituency peaked at 66.07% in 1931; since then, there has been an uneven but gradual decline overall. In the 1980s and 1990s, mostly in the 20%-30% range, and lower since then: the elections 1997-2019 show 12.9%, 10.8%, 11.9%, 14.2%, 17.2%, 12.5%, and finally 10.2%.

See the direction of travel below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islington_North_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Election_results

There is every chance that the Conservative vote will slip below 10% —maybe even below 5%— next time. That means that the contest will be between Corbyn (if he stands) and whoever Labour selects to oppose him. Corbyn may well be the front-runner.

As to the LibDems, their vote peaked at 29.9% in 2005, and in the last few elections has been in the 10%-20% range (15.6% in 2019). It may be that they could mount something of a challenge in a 4-horse race. If Con votes joined with LibDem votes, on 2019 figures, that might add up to 25% or so, but it seems unlikely even then, that they could do better than a second place.

A situation to watch.

Mary Creagh

I just saw a comment by one of Mary Creagh’s former Wakefield constituents:

Mary Creagh was our mp, unfortunately. She is the most arrogant, self-important, waste of space. She literally did nothihng for the Wakefield area. Her attitude is appalling, she just could not be bothered with the area. Goodness knows why people voted for her. Islington is welcome to her. Strange isn’t it that she is still blaming someone else for her loss. She lost because she asserted remain when our area had voted leave and still the penny has not dropped for her. Her sense of entltlement is staggering. Watch out Islington!

Mary Creagh had her eyes on things far more important to her than the poor people of Wakefield, namely the interests of Israel and the Jewish lobby, followed by the pro-EU Remain campaign. Her own career and money too, of course…

Seeing TV reportage of Mary Creagh crying in anger and frustration, after the voters of Wakefield binned her, was stellar.

Addendum: saw this comment about Islington Labour voters: “Young professionals who have never lived through a Labour government. Could they cope through another Winter of Discontent with constant strikes, sitting my candlelight with no heating and rubbish piled up in the street?

The “”Winter of Discontent” myth has become as ingrained as the old “holo (you know what)” farrago! I was in the UK (aged 22) during the said winter. There were strikes in some parts of the economy, yes, for a few weeks in some cases. Few people had their electricity supply interrupted; same with heating. As for rubbish piling up, yes, but only in some areas, and for a few weeks. The whole thing was short in duration and limited in effect(s). It was not the Siege of Leningrad. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent.

The “Winter of Discontent” has become one of those things that many think is so, but is only partly so, a bit like the aforesaid “holo” stuff and various other situations (eg that the UK only had basic foodstuffs until about 20 years ago, or that there were large numbers of blacks living in the UK in the 1960s or even 1950s.

You often see people moaning also about how terrible the whole of the 1970s were, with light and heat cut off because of strikes, and similar “facts”. In fact, the “three day week” and the power cuts affected mainly businesses, lasted weeks not months (in late 1973) and few domestic users were even affected. A few, for short periods. Yet you see people, even those who were there at the time spinning nonsense in newspaper comments sections, or on Twitter, about how they spent much of the 1970s without heat, light, or even food!

It does make me wonder about the fallibility of human memory.

It worked in the Baltic republics, the DDR and other Soviet satellites in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and indeed in the Russian core of the Soviet Union in the same period, but it would never have worked in, say, 1970s Cambodia.

What a voice that woman had! Unique.

The usual confusion when people start trying to squeeze actual facts and policies into the outdated but ingrained “right”/”left” straitjackets.

Has it really taken these tweeters 20 months to start to work all that out?!

Exactly. The former “socialist” or “Left” people now have little or nothing to say. No policy. No principle. Only a farrago of “woke” nonsense based around “anti-racism”, “anti-sexism”, “LGBT” etc.

Their biggest thrill? When they can get someone expelled from Twitter or, even better, cause someone to lose a job or profession, after having been denounced by the Twit-mob. The Jew-Zionist element is behind much of it, but the pseudo-socialist element is similar in its activity.

The big move at last: I was wondering how long it would be in coming. This is at least a major part of the push towards the NWO/ZOG post-2022 society of the next 33+ years. The System controlling the very life and livelihood of all humans, starting with the advanced Western societies.

It may not work out as they think, though. The same forces made a different push as 1989 approached (an attempt to abolish old-style socialism, capitalize the Soviet Union, China etc, destroy Arab/Muslim power and all geopolitical enemies of Israel).

That plan succeeded in part, but not completely.

The Soviet Union was broken up and “capitalized”, and China was “capitalized” (though not entirely, in that the State retained the overall control; also, a nationalist element was retained).

In the Middle East, the Western ruling circles managed to contrive wars and civil wars, playing on existing Arab/Muslim tensions. The wars against Saddam Hussein, the stoking of the existing Syrian conflict, the abolition of Libya as a serious or semi-serious state, all gave Israel a great deal of geopolitical protection.

All that “worked” for the international conspiracy (or consensus, if you like). However, the “plan” was derailed in part when two things happened. Firstly, the upsurge in Arab/Muslim Islamist activity, most strikingly when the Islamists attacked New York City in 2001. That brought in a new factor, in that it became clear that New York and the USA, as the ZOG/NWO heartland, was not invulnerable (though the NWO and ZOG tried to turn that event around by “weaponizing” the event as an excuse to invade both Iraq and, later, Afghanistan).

As to Russia, the break-up of the Soviet Union allowed Russian nationalism, suppressed to some extent in Soviet days, to break out and, indeed, to enter official policy [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Dugin].

At first, after 1989 and especially 1991, Jews flooded into Moscow from the USA, UK, France. Carpetbaggers. They exploited the country and its people terribly. Meanwhile, the (almost all Jew) “oligarchs” such as Berezovsky, Abramovitch and others were looting by the million, by the billion.

Putin’s rule, though very imperfect, is hugely better than was that of drunken corrupt Yeltsin and his Jewish clique.

Russia has been rearming both actually and morally: no more do young Russian girls see their best career option as being high-priced prostitutes, and there has been a recovery of national feeling generally, though foreign Jews still infest much of the economy.

Another aspect of the evil plan was (following the original Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan) to swamp Europe with non-Europeans, in order to allow a mixed Jewish/part-Jewish and masonic layer of Western society to rule over the eventual non-white population planned: see 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/Richard_von_Coudenhove-Kalergi#Views_on_race_and_religion.

The UK is a key part of that plan. Look at recent prime ministers: Blair (suspected part-Jew), Cameron-Levita (part-Jew), Theresa May (suspected part-Jew), “Boris” Johnson (part-Jew). Look also at the present Cabinet and Government generally: Jews, part-Jews, Pakistanis, Indians in most of the most important roles.

So it can be seen that the plan for 1989-2022 has partly succeeded. Now we see an intensification of “control” throughout the Western world and beyond. That is their aim for 2022-2055. That, and the destruction of white European society and culture by making all the countries of Europe mixed-race, and by continuing to vandalize white European culture and history. .

As I have often blogged, the trade unions long ago ceased to be about collective bargaining, protecting workers’ real rights etc, and have morphed into politically-correct mere advice centres and System drone-factories. Useless.

Many deluded people imagine that “if only those in authority would deal with” this, that, or the other (in this case, migration-invasion of England), whereas in fact the System wants migration-invasion, because it supports the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: white genocide. It’s an international conspiracy.

We often criticize the Africans, Asians etc for their corruption, but look at what is on our own doorstep…

Yes, the “panicdemic” has exposed rafts and layers of delusion in the British population that even I would not have believed. The “rabbits” wearing facemasks while walking or cycling alone (some even in deserted countryside!), the crazies who ritually put on their facemasks as soon as they exit their cars in supermarket car parks, the idiots who have stayed at home eating and drinking themselves to death for about 19 months now.

Having said that, I was out and about yesterday in a supermarket, a chemist’s, and a filling station. I wore a facemask in none and, despite over half the people seen shopping still wearing their muzzles, not one censorious look came my way from even one idiot, let alone any comment. I also noticed that few of the staff serving me (and only in the supermarket) were masked. We’re getting there…

When a local System political drone posts a tweet which exposes her utter stupidity!…Not only that, but her facemask muzzle is cloth, in other words completely useless (because the holes are 500,000x the size of Covid-19 particles). Asinine bitch.

Reminds me of what a Soviet person said to me in 1987 or 1988: to the effect that, if paid enough, the Soviet Union would take over the Northern Irish “Troubles” and end them for good. It was a kind of joke, of course. His other one was that UK convicts could be shipped to the Soviet Union to do their time and he would “guarantee that the Soviet Government would turn a profit on the deal“! Well, he was in a position to know, having done 5 years (reduced from 10 when Stalin died) in a labour camp north of the Arctic Circle.

Punished for telling the truth“? Here’s part of my experience…https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.
