First of all, the full facts, in detail, are not publicly known; I certainly do not know them.
Having said that, a few things do occur to me. The most forceful policeman in the now-infamous video clip plainly went far beyond what was necessary. His prisoner or opponent was lying face down, hands apparently bound. He was apparently not moving at all. The policeman kicked him in the head, a hard kick which might have killed the prisoner. The policeman then stamped down hard —he was wearing boots— another assault that might also have killed the prisoner.
Secondly, the context is not on film; allegedly, an immediately-earlier assault by the Muslim family on a policewoman and another. I suppose that that policewoman was the young woman running around like a headless chicken in the video. Useless.
Thirdly, I noticed in the later video that another totally useless policewoman was there, doing nothing but being a useless extra body. There should probably be a rethink about the utility of policewomen in uniformed front-line roles, as UK society becomes ever-more violent.
Fourthly, the comment of Richard Tice MP of Reform UK, applauding the (apparent) over-reaction by one or two of the policemen, was predictably brainless.
Fifthly, the cartoon below is increasingly relevant in the UK:
Actually, another point also occurred to me as I watched a few minutes of TV news coverage: how many of the passengers seen in the background were non-European.

Trump is, obviously, a very flawed individual, but it is hard to imagine what kind of American would rather vote for Kamala Harris, a useless box-ticking careerist and know-nothing.
I suppose that the Democrats hope that she will capture the votes of the “blacks and browns” (etc), a simple racially-based preference based on the fact that she is mixed-race [father Jamaican, mother Indian Tamil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris#Early_life_and_education].

A third “world war” would be devastating, probably on a scale exceeding even that of the 1939-45 conflict. We can only hope that humanity, i.e. those individuals and groups with real power, pull back from the brink. If not, Europe, and quite likely Asia and North America as well, may face near-wipeout.

The most important reform would be to the electoral system. As frequently recently noted on the blog, at the recent General Election and out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote, a clear repudiation of the political system, the voting system, and the “main parties”.
Of the remaining (12) voters who did vote, a mere 4 voted Labour, 3 Conservative, 2 each for Reform UK and LibDem (though Reform got far more votes), and 1 (not quite) voted Green.
That is Starmer-Labour’s mandate and support-base— 4 people out of every 20.

If you aren’t disturbed by a foreign leader receiving dozens of standing ovations from our Congress as he demands more of our money, you are not a Loyal American.
The United States, like the UK, has experienced since the 1980s a decline in the quality of its politicians which is still continuing.
Chief of the General Staff of the Israel in Rafah: Behind the curtain of all the wars of (resistance front) is Iran. It is all Iran. That was an Iranian drone, is it right? The Houthis took it and changed name and range and that's it.
“…In fact, I’d go even further by stating the obvious. Kamala Harris, in reality, is only Vice President of the United States because she happens to tick the relevant identity boxes that according to the modern left need to be ticked. Woman? Tick. African American? Tick. She has basically benefitted from a system that is now hard-wired to promote certain identity groups over others, based on little more than these boxes.”
[Matt Goodwin]
…and the UK is going much the same way.
I am thinking that Kamala Harris will be replaced by another candidate. If so, it will have to happen soon.
Either way, I should imagine that Trump is likely to win now, though you never know.
Kamala Harris will have access to Biden’s campaign coffers, which includes millions from the Israel lobby.
Across the political spectrum Kamala Harris is deeply unpopular. They will try to insert another candidate before the DNC, but remember she has a major advantage – access to the campaign money already raised for Biden.
Still, if she's the nominee, it's over. Trump wins.

“The chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission has rejected calls from the justice secretary to resign after a report on its handling of the Andrew Malkinson case laid bare “a catalogue of failures”.
The new justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, said Pitcher was “unfit to fulfil her duties” and that she was seeking her removal in light of the findings. It is understood that she made her position clear to Pitcher on Thursday morning in the hope that she would resign.
But Pitcher said she was the “best person” for the job and that she had no intention of standing down.
James Burley, who led Appeal’s investigation into Malkinson’s case, said the report was “utterly damning” and detailed “a catalogue of failures by the CCRC”.
He said: “No one can doubt now that the CCRC is a broken safety net which sets the bar unreasonably high for innocent prisoners trying to clear their names. The CCRC must be completely overhauled.”
“Helen Pitcher OBE Chair of the Judicial Appointments Commission talked to Bhini Phagura from Raydens solicitors about her career.
Tell us about your career progression which led to your appointment as the Chair of the Judicial Appointments Commission:
“I studied law at QMC London and used this degree as a basis for a career in commerce, where I rapidly progressed up the ranks to become an Executive and Divisional Director in Grand Metropolitan. I retained a footprint in the law in various roles related to Standards, Fairness, Equity and Diversity.“
Well…wouldn’t you just know it?
There’s more:
“The first role I held in parallel to my Commercial career was as a lay representative of the Professional Conduct and Complaints Committee of the Bar Council.” [now split into the Bar Standards Board and the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal].
Yes, there is usually at least one useless woman of this sort sitting (well-paid, too), but doing nothing, when a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal sits. In 5-person tribunal cases (as mine was, in fact wrongly— it should have been a 3-person tribunal, which has no power to disbar) there are usually two such women (they always seem to be women, as on benches of lay magistrates), invariably a pair of unsmiling and stupid “bookends”. Useless box-tickers. See also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.
“I also became a lay representative on the Employment Appeal Tribunal and still hold this office.
I then joined the Queens Counsel (as it was then) Selection Panel and rapidly became its chair. Whilst there we improved the Diversity Statistics.“
Again the “diversity statistics“… Why am I not at all surprised?
“I held this role for 9 years. On stepping down, I decided not to apply for another role as I also had a burgeoning Consultancy and Portfolio Career. About 18 months later, however, an advertisement for the role of the Chair of the CCRC (Criminal Cases Review Commission) was brought to my attention.
Last year the role of Chairman at the JAC (Judicial Appointments Commission) became available. A Headhunter contacted me having uncovered my background on LinkedIn. I checked with the MoJ that there was no conflict of interest and submitted my application. On December 31st following a Justice Select Committee earlier in the month, I was appointed and took up the post on January 16th [2023].”
My role as chair involves leading the Board, ensuring appropriate oversight on governance and providing appropriate challenge and support to the executive. I am also involved in some of the most senior appointments.
I have rationalised my portfolio (which was a Commitment I gave to the JSC) in order to ensure I have the appropriate amount of time to devote to this key role.
You are holding this role for 3 years from January 2023, what are your aims/goals?
The strategic aims were already set, however they are due for a refresh as the period they covered draws to a close. These aims, which are developed in conjunction with the Board and executive, are on our website and thus in the public domain.
Our primary purpose set out by statute is to recruit on merit, our secondary (and no less important role) is to assist the rest of the judicial system to increase the diversity pool. It is for this reason that I also chair the Judicial Diversity Forum, which has a clear action plan to achieve its aims.”
So the secondary role is as important as the primary one? How muddled and wrongheaded is the stupid woman?
[Legal Women (online-only) magazine]
The interview is rather badly written, unfortunately, with superfluous upper-case here and there; as can be seen, it is the product of an Indian woman.
Well, there we have it. That greedy and plainly incompetent Pitcher woman has made a whole career, and no doubt a very lucrative one, out of “diversity”, tokenism etc. First of all, in her own person, by being a “token woman”, or one token woman, on commercial and quango boards. Secondly, by being a Trojan horse for more “diversity” and “inclusion” (etc) in important public offices.
Helen Pitcher, who seems to me to be a useless “diversity” box-ticker, has, inter alia, sat in the seat of judgment over employment appeal cases, over the cases of supposedly defaulting barristers etc, and has even been (and apparently still is) the head of the body which appoints judges, including those at the highest level.
Helen Pitcher is, at time of writing, doing, and of course getting paid for doing, several different jobs simultaneously. She is probably making between half a million and a million pounds a year. For what? Ruining various bodies? Ticking various “diversity” and “anti-racism” boxes? Shoving our society further into the mire?
Look at how Helen Pitcher is clinging on to her CCRC role, presumably in order to maximize the money she gets before she is forced out. At least, that seems to me to be her motivation. Very telling, if so.
This latest scandal, including Helen Pitcher’s “march through the institutions”, is so typical of the way in which things generally have been allowed to develop in the UK in the past 30+ years.
You can see the way the UK is going, at least partly because of stupid and over-promoted women such as Helen Pitcher (and, yes, also men, not infrequently)— straight down.
God knows what state this country will be in in 2029 or 2034, let alone 2054 (which last I shall not have to witness, thank God, not from the Earth plane anyway).
Andrew Malkinson has called the former head of the miscarriage of justice watchdog “shameless” as she resigned from the job saying she had been “scapegoated for entirely legitimate decisions” taken over his case.
Helen Pitcher handed in her resignation as chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) on Tuesday afternoon after learning that an independent panel had concluded by a majority of two to one that she was no longer fit to be chair.
In a letter to the justice secretary she said she felt that she had been chosen as a “scapegoat at an early stage” for the Malkinson case and that “a head had to roll and I was chosen for that role”.
Malkinson said: “Helen Pitcher’s attempt to portray herself as the victim here is shameless.
The Guardian revealed thatPitcher had been in Montenegro promoting her property business in the weeks after Malkinson’s conviction was overturned and the organisation was in crisis after its failure to apologise to him.“
[Guardian]].
“Her property business” (as well as all the rest)?
Helen Pitcher thus managed to blag another 6-7 months’ pay and expenses, and pension contributions, when she should have resigned in mid or early 2024.
“Shameless” indeed, the horrible and avaricious old hag.

“Summary of the Israeli strike according to what is known so far: – Approximately 25 F-15 and F-35 aircraft, accompanied by refueling planes, flew about 2000 kilometers toward the city of Hodeidah in Yemen.
– The strike was carried out in 8 waves.
-The attack destroyed fuel depots, inflicted damage on the port, and destroyed a power station north of the port.
– The fire is still burning and is expected to continue for several more days.
– There is a power outage across the entire region.
– The message of the strike is clear: this is not a strike on military targets (which has been done by the coalition over the past 9 months) but an attack on the already struggling Yemeni economy, causing significant economic damage.
– The attack on the port is a direct response to the damage Yemenis have caused to the port of Eilat.
– The message to the rest of the Middle East is also clear: the Bandar Abbas port and the Kharg Island, from where most of Iran’s oil is exported, are in Israel’s sights, as well as the port of Beirut.
– Israel has decided to take off the gloves; this is not a minor strike like those in Iran.
– The Houthis are threatening to retaliate, but it is unclear what the threat entails, as they have already attacked Israel 200 times.”

Middle East, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Far East. All now under threat of major regional wars.
Even worse, those maniacs are actually considering Hillary Clinton. Direct war with Russia will then be a certainty.
There are too many egos at stake, and too many sunk costs. What this means is that the pro-Ukrainian true believers won't concede anything has collapsed until Kiev is under Russia's control.
“Ukraine lines are collapsing. After 380 billions of aid pledged to Ukraine since the war begin; 118 billion are direct military aid; many countries literally emptied out entire inventory countless military units to give their weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine is STILL losing grounds everyday. Lost 5 towns in the past 48hrs. The fortress city of Krasnohorivka is falling as we speak; Russia threatens cut the Oskil Frontlines in half with the likely capture of Pishchane. Still not collapsing? This is not collapse of frontlines, then what is?“
I'm no military man, but from a purely common sense perspective, assessing the saleability in terms of effective manpower Ukraine has left, disregarding poorly trained conscripts thrown uselessly into the meat grinder, then the rubber and road meeting indeed appears to draw near.

I have not been to London since that brief visit in 2022, and am glad of it. I no longer have the Rolex watches I had 25+ years ago (or want them, or need them, or can afford them) but, if I did, I think that they would not stay on my wrist very long in the London of 2024.
Why can people who should know better not accept the truth that is in front of their eyes? In a word, deluded.
One aspect of London that seems to have radically improved in recent years, though, is the public transport network. New lines, new trains, new ways of travelling around the conurbation. Crossrail/Elizabeth Line for one. I do not speak, however, from personal experience of the new lines, just from what I have read online.

Well over 20 years ago, in 2000, I happened to meet and get to know (somewhat), in Bournemouth, a young blonde woman (20 or so) I first encountered in a photography shop, and who was very proud of her father, vice-Chancellor of (if I remember aright) Lancaster University. She talked about him rather a lot, and thus I learned that (again, if I remember aright) his salary was over £200,000 a year, which would be pretty good even today, by most people’s standards. In fact, the Bank of England online calculator shows that you could almost double that in today’s money. So today— maybe £400,000.

“Terrible news for Ukraine” – European experts on Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance Donald Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his candidate for the post of vice president of the United States has again raised fears in Europe that the former American leader will take a businesslike approach to foreign policy and will pursue it based on the principle of “America First,” writes The Guardian.
This, as the article notes, could lead to the United States insisting that Kyiv give in to Vladimir Putin and ask for peace with Russia. “It’s bad for us and it’s terrible news for Ukraine,” said one senior European diplomat in Washington. “Vance is not our ally.”
Foreign diplomats and observers often call Trump’s current policies a “black box,” saying it is impossible to know for sure what the unpredictable leader will do once in power. Some are comforting themselves by suggesting that leadership candidates such as former US national security adviser Robert O’Brien will maintain the status quo on foreign policy while Trump focuses on domestic affairs. But the would-be US president now has a much more energetic deputy who will stoke Trump’s skepticism about Ukraine and Europe while urging the party to pursue aggressive trade and foreign policies in other parts of the world.“

This isn’t me leaving the Conservative party, it’s the Conservative party that has left me. Read my interview with the Telegraph on why for the first time I am politically homeless.”

Trump may be in a position, if or when re-elected, to call a halt to the rush to world war. That is the issue of primary importance.

The Canaanites resided in ‘the Promised Land’ from 3500BC until 1200BC before they were conquered by Israeli tribes following their Exodus from Egypt.
“Federal Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump in a bombshell ruling less than 48 hours after the former president was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump was accused of taking highly sensitive national security documents to his Mar-a-Lago estate when he left the White House, and FBI agents seized a trove of material during a search of his Florida home in August 2022.
Judge Cannon threw the case out based on ‘violations’ of the Constitution’s Appointments and Appropriations clauses.
In her ruling, she found that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional.
The decision has an enormous impact on Trump’s legal battles, and he now faces just two criminal trials in Georgia and the federal court in Washington D.C.
A year ago, Trump’s classified documents case appeared to be his most serious legal threat: perhaps easier to prove than Trump’s January 6 case, which relied on public statements, tweets and complex schemes involving electors around the country to charge a complex conspiracy to overturn the election.“

“Fuck it. I’m just gonna come out and say it. After a lot of thought, I am now 100% behind Donald Trump for President. Let me explain my reasoning…
Trump fell short in many ways in his first term. He was weaker than he should have been on the border. He appointed people to his cabinet that frankly stained his image and sunk his reputation. He let us down with the vaccines and Operation Warp Speed. But it’s about more than Donald Trump. It’s always been about more than Trump.
He has awakened the sleeping giant in America and across the world. People have hit breaking point. And they are sick to the back teeth of the status quo. For all my reservations, I do believe at heart his intentions are mostly good. Compare and contrast him to a demented old man who doesn’t remember what he had for breakfast.
What happened on Saturday night pushed me over the edge. They have tried everything to stop this man. Impeachment, election rigging, lawfare and now an attempted assassination in broad daylight. It’s not about trying to stop Trump. It’s about trying to stop a populist uprising.
In these times we can’t be picky. Trump isn’t going to fix all our problems. Trump isn’t going to save the world. We are living through a time of pure evil, the likes of which only God can protect us from. But we have to rebuild, we have to reorganise. We all have differences of opinion on various issues but ultimately we all see the evil in this world and we all want to make a change. And I believe the best start to that work is to get behind Donald Trump and use our influence to push for the change we want to see.”

NEW POST. Britain's population explosion. SHOCKING new data. The latest data on how the country is being completely transformedhttps://t.co/ERDM5mO3yN
"The British people are currently living through the largest increase in their population since 1948, when British soldiers returned from World War Two and there was a baby boom. The difference today? It's because of mass immigration"https://t.co/5XqFFHeTm0
“There has simply never been a nation-state in history that has endured the sheer scale and speed of demographic change that is currently unfolding around us and remained a healthy, socially cohesive, prosperous, high-trust society.“
"Last year, our population only increased by 400 people through 'natural change' (births minus deaths among people already here). It's the lowest figure since 1978. In sharp contrast, immigration added 622,000 people, one of the highest stats on record"https://t.co/ERDM5mO3yN
…and virtually all the children now being born in the UK, and particularly in England, are non-white (including mixed-race). Demographic disaster.

Let’s bin all “diversity hires”, starting with David Lammy, presently and ludicrously posing as Foreign Secretary.
Ha ha…yes, but the joke is on us…
The System promotes idiots like that, making sure that they can wave a few bits of paper (tick-box degrees, diplomas etc) if challenged, as a way of accelerating the destruction of European civilization.

“Instead of the promised economic boom, we’ve seen GDP per capita fall, meaning that even if the economy is technically growing, individually we are getting poorer.”https://t.co/6k0B6swR4O
Even the System msm cannot ignore the migration invasion completely, because the public has started to awaken and, indeed, become fearful of what is happening, and what might and probably will happen not so far down the road.
The Twitter-twits, and the System politicians, have been laughing at the Reform UK result at GE 2024 (“only 5 MPs” etc), but the underlying reality is that, out of nearly 29M actual votes, Reform UK got over 4.1M, the Conservative Party only 6.8M, and victorious Labour 9.8M.
Labour received under 10M votes, and has 411 MPs, despite only getting about (indeed, less than) two-and-a-half times the number of votes cast for Reform UK, fobbed off with merely 5 MPs.
As noted in previous blog posts, for every 20 people who were eligible to vote at GE 2024, a plurality, 8 people, did not bother to vote, probably because they were disenchanted with the whole set-up.
Out of that group of 20 people, only 4 actually voted Labour.
Another 3 out of the 20 voted Conservative; 2 voted Reform UK. 2 also voted LibDem (which however received only 3.5M votes as against Reform’s 4.1M). (Almost) 1 notional voter out of the 20 voted Green, which party received 1.8M votes.
The point is that Reform UK is, at least in part, “controlled opposition” but, notwithstanding that, over 4 million people decided to register their anger by voting for it. Another 19.6 million did not vote.
It is possible that, were a credible social-national movement to exist, a substantial part of the 19.6M non-voting bloc, as well as a large part of Reform UK’s 4.1M bloc, might vote for, or otherwise support it.
Remember, out of every 20 adult people in the UK, only 4 voted for Starmer-Labour.
Starmer-Labour has no real mandate from the people.

Talking point
Happened to see part of one of those fly-on-the-wall cop shows, called Police Interceptors. The bit I saw concerned a raid on a house where a man was thought to be trading in drugs.
The police arrived in force, were ready to bust open the front door but found it unlocked, so went in and took control of the property. The man named on the warrant was not at home, but his wife/girlfriend/whatever was, along with her small and terrified children.
In the kitchen, the police found large bags stuffed with herbal cannabis, apparently harvested from the marijuana farm in the attic, which the police also found. They also found little plastic bags used for retail sales of the drug.
The woman was arrested only because the wanted man refused to give himself up, but was in touch with the woman by telephone, under police guard, and was apparently nearby. He gave himself up a few days later.
What interested me was that I should have thought that there was ample evidence to prosecute them both for “possession with intent to supply”, but in the end the woman was released (I was distracted so missed the exact outcome, I think an official caution), and her husband/boyfriend/co-habitee was apparently not charged with anything!
A big raid, the police all dressed up in the paramilitary style to which they have become accustomed, warrants obtained, searches made, drugs found, arrests made and, in the end…nothing.
The police and CPS need to start dealing with (real) crime, rather than snooping on tweets and blog posts and generally behaving like a poundland Stasi.
This country is now pretty close to running on empty.
“Demands for answers were mounting on Sunday as to how an armed man was able to get into position on a roof overlooking a rally and fire shots at Donald Trump – the 2024 presumptive Republican nominee – despite federal and local law enforcement presence and witnesses reportedly alerting police.
Trump was bleeding from his right ear and later described a bullet whizzing by while he was speaking at the rally. An attendee was killed and Secret Service agents then shot dead the suspect, with eyewitness reports that someone outside the rally had told police they’d seen the armed suspect heading to the roof but it appeared that officers did not respond.
“How was it that someone could get [in position] on a roof … with a weapon and try to assassinate [Trump]?” Turner told CNN’s State of the Union show on Sunday morning, adding: “The fact that people knew there was a man with a rifle and were trying to get the police’s attention is a cause for concern.”
1. US Deep State seeking to prevent NATO surrender in Russia-Ukraine War.
2. Israeli Intelligence seeking to replace Trump with a Republican more willing to support Gaza/West Bank Annexation and expansion of the war into Lebanon and Iran.
“What we also know is that this shocking event is about much more than the shooter and the bullet. The race for the White House, which in recent weeks has seen Donald Trump pull comfortably ahead in the polls, was already turning deadly. On a private phone call with donors last week, Joe Biden reportedly said, “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye”. Only two weeks ago he described Trump as “a genuine threat to this nation”. And these were only the latest in a long series of quasi-violent threats that came from the ‘liberal’ left of American politics, not the right.
There was Robert de Niro saying he’d like to punch Trump “in the face”. There was comedienne Kathy Griffin who posed with a graphic model of Trump’s severed head. There was Mickey Rourke who said he’d hit Trump with a “left hook from hell”. On and on it goes. Anthony Bourdain, Snoop Dogg, George Lopez, Pearl Jam, Madonna, Johnny Depp, Rosie O’Donnell. These are just some of the many left-leaning celebrities who have threatened or wished violence upon Trump.“

latest data from ONS released today. The piece looks at forecast population growth between now and the year 2036 based on similar government data. Subscribers are consistently ahead of media debate on these issues.
The real UK population is already somewhere between 65M and 70M. Wake up.
Whilst David Lammy proudly stands with the regime dropping bombs and killing entire families. Gosh, why can’t we see ourselves in these poor children? As much as I hate sharing these graphic photos, what is it going to take for this to end? https://t.co/b2SjzlIGOt
It is bad enough when families like that get caught up in a “normal” war, but what we see in Gaza is a relentless and largely one-sided attack by one side (which alone has planes, real missiles, tanks, all sorts of advanced weaponry etc) upon an almost defenceless population. A kind of savage bullying of a civilian population by a heartless and ideologically-harsh tribe.
As for thick-as-two-short-planks Lammy, were he not (for his own benefit) willing to say more or less what the UK Israel lobby wants him to say, he would not be in the (Labour Friends of Israel) Starmer-Labour government, let alone Cabinet.
And I really don't believe for a second that Starmer personally believes in the 2 child cap. It's not about his own values, it's about winning over centrist voters. Corbyn got more votes but all in areas Labour already held so useless.

“One of the latest statements by Senator J.D. Vance, who today became a candidate for US Vice President in conjunction with Donald Trump, about the conflict in Ukraine :
“In particular, on the issue of Ukraine, everyone with a brain knows that this will end in negotiations… Ukraine is functionally destroyed as a country… […] Our policy towards Ukraine is unsustainable. The average age of a soldier in their army is 43 years old – No one older than me can articulate what $61 billion can achieve, so we need to seek a negotiated end to the war.“
If Trump can get re-elected, and take away Zelensky’s ricebowl in all senses, the war can finish, either by negotiation in a few months, or via Russian victory east of the Dnieper in a few weeks.
Sadly, though, all mainstream American politicians are poisoned, at an early stage in their careers, by the Israel lobby:

England in 2024, a “nation” which pretends to be in mourning because the “England” football team, most of whom are not really English anyway, fail to win a football competition somewhere or other.
England in 2024, a “nation” consisting of people more interested in that football result than in the fact that between half a million and a million migrant-invaders every single year are invading this country.
After Trump’s courageous immediate response to the attempted assassination, his stock among the American voters must surely rise.
I just landed and missed an assignation attempt. Holy shit. What a bad ass reaction from Trump. The election is over. He's the next president. The Dems should give up. They can't beat him now. pic.twitter.com/omtbue191d
This must surely seal the Presidential race for Trump, even if the Democrats replace Biden with someone compos mentis.
Having said that, were Biden to be replaced by someone such as Michelle Obama, popular —God knows why— among the non-whites who are now the majority of the American population, it is possible that Trump might lose, I suppose, but that really might see an actual civil war develop.
Have we just seen and heard, in those popping shots at the Trump rally, the first shots of the second American Civil War, akin to the shot fired at Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina in 1861, or even that fired by the cruiser Aurora in 1917?
Is anything Liz Truss may think even worth reporting? Her rise to prominence, then —briefly— power came as a result of peculiar and particular political circumstances; and, after all, she only became an MP in the first place on her back.
Were her crazy idea about pension age ever to be implemented, it would cause an electoral, and perhaps actual, rebellion that would make the rise of Reform UK look like the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.

As Matt Goodwin has predicted, the Starmer-Labour government will crash and burn very quickly. It has no real mandate anyway, despite its Commons majority. Only 33.7% of the popular vote. People wanted rid of the fake “Conservatives”, that’s all. Few really wanted Starmer-Labour. Don’t forget that Sunak’s “Conservatives” also had a large Commons majority.

The Labour hegemony in the younger age-groups (highest in the 25-34 age-group— 46%) will not last. The wider 18-44 group —where Labour support was, at GE 2024, over 40%— will soon defect or fall away when Labour fails to improve the housing crisis, or improve the poor deal renters get in the UK, among other issues.
Farage
I see that the little world of UK Twitter/X is going mad because Farage is going to visit Trump. According to those Twitter-twits, Farage is neglecting his duties as MP and, in particular, neglecting the constituents of Clacton by briefly going to the USA. They obviously have no idea that a great many MPs either do nothing at all for their (notional) constituents, or send pro-forma letters back to them, explaining why they can do little or nothing. There are exceptions, but those are exceptions to the general rule of uselessness.

Many will settle for a 20k salary so they avoid paying tax
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.

FINAL poll of campaign
Labour 36% Reform 20% Conservatives 16% Lib Dems 10% Greens 9% SNP 4%
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.

“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.

There’s something wrong with a system which not only promotes people such as Beth Rigby (who has a speech impediment…yet is on TV and radio for a living), but pays them hundreds of thousands of pounds a year.
Nearly a decade on from 2016 much of our national "debate" is still built around catastrophising over the rise of these parties rather than actually addressing why so many people (especially YOUNG people) are voting for them.
“The astonishing victory by the Right tonight in the first round of the French general election where Le Pen’s National Rally received 34.5% trouncing the Left alliance ( 29%) and destroying Macron ( 20%) augurs well for Nigel Farage and Reform. I suspect our voters will no longer believe a vote for Reform is wasted vote. They will view it as a chance to change the political narrative once and for all just as it’s doing in France. Anything could happen on Thursday.”
[Kelvin MacKenzie]
Must be the first time I have ever agreed with Kelvin MacKenzie.
I was at a BBQ with friends last night, everyone there said they’ll vote for Reform. In the past, they’ve voted for diff parties. No one trusts Labour not to hike taxes to an unacceptable level and ex Tory voters feel let down.
Huge numbers of people are getting desperate for social-national change. Reform UK is only halfway —if that— there, but it is a start, a start which can smash the “two main parties” scam, change the dynamics of UK politics (if it does well enough on Thursday), and move the “Overton Window”, or at least start to move it.
I suspect that many will say “**** it!” and put their crosses next to Reform UK on Thursday, as a last-minute decision. I may be wrong, but that is my feeling anyway.
Would Sunak raise a crowd that big? That is not even a question. 10, yes, 100, doubtful. 5,000? Ha ha…
What about Starmer? Maybe a few hundred (organized by the Labour machine)…maybe.
Whatever the voters want now, it is not the hopeless and ridiculous Conservative Party; not really Labour either, or the LibDems. They will profit only by default.
Who are the 10% or maybe 15% still voting Con? Must be lifelong unthinking habit-voters, mostly those in extreme old age, in my view.
Frankly, I doubt whether the Cons will even get to 20% in this General Election.

EXCLUSIVE: We’ve gone undercover inside Nigel Farage’s Reform UK campaign in Clacton and found evidence of anti-migrant rhetoric, homophobia and one canvasser making racist and offensive remarks. As @DarshnaSoni reports. pic.twitter.com/VkhVLczjcw
The System is now getting very worried about the level of support being shown even for Reform UK, a basically small-c conservative-type party. The anti-Reform UK rhetoric is now close to that displayed in the past against more social-national parties such as the BNP and, further back still, the National Front.
The System thinking must be, “if even Reform UK can be so disruptive, how more so would be a credible and genuinely social-national party?“
That anti-Reform UK propaganda is broadcast as Reform UK reaches heights of popular support few thought that it would or could reach.
Some polls are putting Reform UK as high as 20%, and all are putting it well above 15%, the average now being around 17%.
Meanwhile, support for the Conservative Party has dropped to as low as 18%, and may go even lower. I have just yesterday heard admittedly anecdotal evidence that, in my own local area (in coastal Hampshire, and one of the most heavily-Con in England), lifelong Con voters are planning to vote anywhere other than Con or Labour. Many, perhaps most (?), are switching to Reform UK, and some to the LibDems.
I was just looking at my blog from about 8 or 9 months ago. I thought then that Reform UK would get a nationwide popular vote of at least 15% and, at the outside, 20%. Seems that I was right (so far).
Estimates of the number of MPs Reform UK might have by 5 July 2024, i.e. once the votes are counted, range from 1 or 2 to as many as 22. A few Reform UK optimists are doubling or even tripling that. It seems very open, with less than a week to go.
I doubt whether the Channel 4 undercover silliness will change the minds of many people planning to vote Reform UK, as witness the tweets below:
I doubt that more than a few hundred of the voters of Clacton will have even seen the “expose”. In any case, the main person shown was merely a volunteer. It may even be that some people will be more inclined to vote for Reform after having seen the Channel 4 piece. You never know.
There is also the point that postal voting has already taken place. Many of the older and/or disabled British voters, as at Clacton, will by now have voted.
Farage seems nailed-on to win at Clacton, as far as I can see. The Conservative Party candidate has not even been seen (by me anyway) on TV or online, while the young African standing as Labour MP has apparently been redeployed to help another Labour candidate, in the West Midlands, and has thus left the field of battle at Clacton.
I can only suppose that Starmer decided that only the Con candidate had any chance of beating Farage, having scored 72.3% in 2019, so scaled back the Labour effort at Clacton to zero for nakedly tactical reasons.
Also, the fact that Labour deliberately chose an African for its candidate at Clacton, of all places, would be likely to prompt a surge in support for Reform UK. Anyway, he’s gone elsewhere, and will probably not be seen at Clacton until the count on Election Night. I still think that he might lose his deposit.
As blogged previously, while I am not a Reform UK supporter, as such, its existence moves the “Overton Window” a bit, at the very least, and will help to break down the “two main parties” scam.
The public’s view of the mostly System politicians is not favourable. Even Starmer, on the crest of his “popularity by default”, is only viewed favourably by just over a third of voters.
Look at Sunak. Only 19%, the same as the Conservative Party. I begin to wonder whether previously undecided voters will actually start to pile in against the Conservative Party now, or at the last minute, thus reducing the Conservative vote to somewhere below that 19%, maybe as low as 16%. We shall know in 6 days’ time.
I’ve interviewed George Galloway who told me he is a fan of the Latin Mass. He calls it “poetry in motion”. George has met and asked the Pope not to ban it.

Staggering how unrepentant the Tories are. 14yrs. And everything that’s broken is down to them. They reek of corruption, dishonesty and failure. Yet still so smug, so entitled, so nasty and defiant in the face of their glaring unpopularity. They’re due such an electoral slapping.
I should say “80% that’s broken“, not “everything“. Otherwise, I agree.

The African will probably get about 4% of the vote, and lose his deposit.

Dover & Deal constituency polling update 📊
The Conservatives have 19.5% and cannot win. A vote for the Tories is a vote for Labour.
— Reform UK Dover and Deal (@doveranddeal) June 27, 2024
Yes. If all Con-leaning or anti-Lab-leaning voters were to vote Reform UK, Reform UK could just about win at Dover; even then it might be very close. One thing is for sure— the Con candidate cannot win.
So Giles Watling is still alive… I had seen and heard nothing from the retired actor since the Clacton campaign started. I assumed that he had fallen into his soup and drowned at the Garrick Club.
Watling has nothing in common with most Clacton voters. Hopeless.

The Jew Zelensky thinks that there can be a “peace summit” without Russia’s participation (unless Russia were to effectively surrender). He’s a con-man who has stolen billions.

Should make people think.

Convinced whatever they say it's been deliberate. If labour implode off a large majority then the 2030 great reset and one world government is doing its thing.
I tend to agree, up to a point, with that last tweeter. Yes, the Cons are doomed, but look at what the Labour Party now is! A mixture of Blair-Brown-style fake communitarian rhetoric, “woke” craziness, “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) partisanship, and pro-Israel-ism, combined with pro-Jewish lobby repression of free speech and, in terms of domestic policy, almost indistinguishable in reality from the policies of the Conservative Party.
Incidentally, it is Bicester and Woodstock, a new constituency, not just Woodstock. That may explain the close polling.
Even Reform UK has more support among the under-30s in the UK, especially in England, than many suppose. A real social-national party might be able to capture far more hearts and minds.
This really is stunning. If accurate, it may mean a House of Commons with 483 Labour MPs (overall majority 316), 73 LibDems, 27 Reform UK, and only 22 Con Party MPs (SNP 18, Green 4 etc). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.
It would mean the LibDems as official Opposition, and Reform UK with several more MPs (27 in toto) than the rump of the old Conservative Party (22), which would not be the Opposition, not even third party, but a poor fourth. Finished. Washed-up.
I have yet to meet, in the past month or even longer, even one person who expresses an intention to vote Con. There may be some people I meet who intend to vote Con without my knowing it, of course; I meet relatively few people, and rarely talk directly about politics with most of those that I do meet. All the same…
In fact, and by my use of Electoral Calculus, it may be that, were Reform UK to poll at 24%, only 3 points higher than in this latest poll, Reform could edge the LibDems out of second place, which would mean Reform UK as the official Opposition, and Farage as Leader of the Opposition! Were that to happen, I should have to eat my words of a year or two ago (dismissing him as not such an effective politician despite his oratorical and mass media skills).
“Brutal” is the word. Whatever one may think of Trump and his overall fitness for office, it is clear that Biden should now go into retirement.
The world has rarely if ever been in such multiform peril. The state with, by far, the greatest military-destructive power on Earth, is a “colossus on legs of straw”, and cannot, at this time, be commanded, even notionally, by someone not in command of his own faculties.
“The Labour parliamentary candidate for Poole, Neil Duncan-Jordan, said he and others have been targeted with ’disgusting and disrespectful’ comments.
He said he had been called a ‘white traitor’ and told that ‘Adolf Hitler had the right idea’.
Mr Duncan-Jordan has called on his counterparts in the election to distance themselves from antisemitism, racism and hate crime following a number of incidents he and his supporters have faced.
Mr Duncan-Jordan said: “In the last few days there have been three separate incidents that have caused me concern. I’ve been called a ‘white traitor’, one of my supporters was spat at and I was told that “Adolf Hitler had the right idea.”
“I think it’s important that all candidates in this election come out clearly and say that antisemitism, racism and fascist views have absolutely no place in modern Britain.
“Spitting at someone because you don’t like their political views is disgusting and disrespectful. We cannot allow this kind of behaviour to become the acceptable norm.”
The candidate has reported the incidents to the police.“
[Bournemouth Echo]
Well, while I would never condone spitting at (or for that matter, throwing milkshakes over) people (as a Labour supporter did to Farage recently), if a candidate wants to knock on people’s doors to engage them in political debate, he must expect some of his “victims” to cut up rough, bearing in mind what the System parties have been doing to this country.
God knows what, in the course of time, will be the karmic, including group-karmic, consequences of everything that has happened in and around Gaza in the past 9 months, or indeed the past 77 years.
Spot on. The so called Reform candidate is an actor hired by Channel 4 to try and discredit the Reform Party. Channel 4 should be charged with electoral interference

The whole of the System msm is rotten.
A constituency with that kind of history would be a great one to flip to make the message clear that we don't want any more of what these charlatans are selling (or their blatant, in your face, corruption)
“Rishi Sunak‘s chief of staff has been interviewed as a witness by the gambling regulator as part of the row over alleged bets on the timing of the general election, it has emerged.
Liam Booth-Smith is reported to have spoken to the Gambling Commission last week to help the watchdog understand who may have known when polling day would be.
Sources stressed to the BBC that the PM’s top adviser – dubbed the ‘Treasury Travolta’ during Mr Sunak’s time as Chancellor due to his fondness for leather jackets – is not a suspect in the regulator’s investigation and had not placed a bet himself.“
[Daily Mail]
Can you believe it, even today, as the UK goes into a tailspin? The Chief of Staff of the UK Prime Minister— and look at the bastard!
“Liam Booth-Smith (born 1987) is a British political adviser who has served as the Downing Street Chief of Staff since October 2022. He previously served as de facto chief of staff to then-chancellorRishi Sunak as head of the Joint Economic Unit.
I know that I often expostulate in this vein, but this country really is ****** on so many levels…
[Update, 16 January 2026: Liam Booth-Smith must have been born under a lucky star— he was elevated to the House of Lords by Sunak, in his 2024 Resignation Honours List, so now gets about £400 a day taxfree just for rolling up, for as brief a time as half an hour, any sitting day, i.e. about 200 per year. About £80,000 a year taxfree, for not necessarily doing anything at all. He also makes a great deal more via his salary, bonuses etc as executive of an AI company. As a John le Carre character called this country, “the pigs in clover society“…]
