I hold out little hope for Corbyn’s “real Labour” party. I should place its appeal somewhere in the 5%-10% area, and I doubt that it will be able to contest more than a hundred seats. However, in a few of those seats, it might have enough of a concentration of votes to win; in some others, it will split the vote to enough of an extent to topple existing Labour MPs, mostly to the benefit of Reform UK.

[“Within 48 hours, Jerusalem is expected to make a critical decision: if Hamxs refuses to release the hostages, Israel may move to formally annex parts of Gaza. Unlike military withdrawals, which can be executed at any time, annexation is a near-permanent step. Under Israeli law, reversing annexation isn’t simple, it requires either a supermajority of 80 Knesset members or a national referendum. In other words, once annexed, the land doesn’t come back without a political war.”]
So Lebensraum for American and Israeli Jew settlers, basically, and the Palestinian Arab population “deported to the East” (somewhere), into Israeli Jew-constructed and Israeli Jew-guarded concentration camps which, given that the Israelis are starving the Arab population, refusing to supply medical attention to them, and just killing them outright by shooting them, would amount to “killing camps” or —would the appropriate term be?— “extermination camps”…
I wonder whether the Israeli population as a whole, or the Israeli political milieu and military/security apparat have thought much about what might happen down the line if/when Israel eventually gets defeated on the battlefield? Something akin to what happened in southern Israel in late 2023 but on a vastly bigger scale. When people are treated the way the (Israeli) Jews have treated those, the Arabs, who, pre-1948, owned most of Palestine, their revenge will be bloody indeed.

Late thought
On “British” TV news today, impossible to escape the ridiculous “lionesses” nonsense. Pretty obvious why it is being pushed so hard; a distraction from the real UK and real world news. Several different agendas being pushed at the same time.
Late talking point
I think that a lot of people in England are exactly of the same mind, mutatis mutandis.
Reminiscences:temps perdu, and thoughts about mortality
When one is well over 60, as I now am (68; b. 1956), thoughts may naturally turn to mortality, life and death, and questions larger than the everyday concerns of life. That may be so when one notices that many people one has known in life are now defunct.
Some of the people I have known, or have merely met briefly or peripherally in the past, are still alive; many, however, are not. Some of those who are no longer alive have died from various natural causes (and are too numerous to list), others expired from unnatural causes (such as a Nigerian princess I knew, shot dead in Lagos in the late 1990s) or from causes or reasons unknown (such as the ex-husband of a lady I knew in the 1980s, which ex-husband apparently drowned in the Thames at London). A few, friends of friends rather than people I knew well, sadly died via suicide many years ago.
These thoughts came again to mind yesterday when I noticed information online to the effect that a former American colleague, a major-league American lawyer called Tim Scrantom, died some time ago, in 2021, apparently of a brain tumour. He was diagnosed in April 2021, and died 6 months later.
[Tim Scrantom, 1956-2025]
Tim Scrantom was a couple of months younger than me, a fact which sharpens my reminiscence.
I met Scrantom after a headhunter in New York suggested to him and his two main colleagues, in 2001, that I might suit his niche law firm (based in Charleston, South Carolina). I was telephoned in Turkey, where I was then resident, and we arranged to meet in London at one of my usual haunts, the Churchill Bar at the Hotel Russell in Russell Square.
I drove back to England via Greece, Bulgaria, Romania (the latter two then not EU states, and very ramshackle), Hungary (excellent country), Austria, Germany (calling in at Berchtesgaden), Luxembourg, and Belgium.
The upshot was that Scrantom and I became colleagues, he based mostly at Charleston (the office was at East Bay Street, in the conservation zone of the city), I mostly in London, though we both visited various offshore jurisdictions, once or twice in tandem, as when we went to Liechtenstein one day (well, I did; Scrantom had left his passport at the Mayfair Hotel, and only discovered that fact when we met at Heathrow, prior to flying to Zurich…).
Scrantom was a genial host. He invited my wife and me to dinner in Charleston in August or early September 2001 and, on a later solo visit, I visited his home on Sullivan’s Island, by Charleston, where he lived with his then wife (I believe they divorced later) and young daughter.
Scrantom, though a graduate from American law schools, an attorney in several states, and a professor of law as well, was also a barrister of Gray’s Inn in London. I was a barrister of Lincoln’s Inn, though many years later (2016) wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred at the instigation of a pack of malicious and politically-motivated Jew-Zionists.
Scrantom, incidentally, was a modest fellow, very much a “Southern gentleman”, born in Georgia and from a wealthy background. I liked him. I never knew (until yesterday) about some of his earlier adventures, such as sailing around the Bahamas on his yacht, exploring the Himalayas, or visiting edgy places in Cambodia and elsewhere in South-East Asia, though he did tell me that he knew several of the people portrayed in the famous book and film Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_in_the_Garden_of_Good_and_Evil_(film)], the events of which occurred in Savannah, Georgia, where Scrantom’s family members were largely based.
In September 2001, I was with Scrantom in a taxi in the Strand, London, when his wife called to say that New York was under attack. We interrupted our journey (to the Berkeley Square area of Mayfair) to get out at a Dixons store to look at the TV screens.
I well remember him later fuming that Iraq “must have” been behind the attack on the World Trade Center (that was the neo-con and American msm line at the time, of course) and that “Israel has the right idea” (i.e. bomb the hell out…). Well, he was wrong, of course, and we disagreed about that. Like most Americans, and despite his intelligence and education, he was influenced by the pro-Israel propaganda so pervasive in the msm in the USA (though his main colleague, Ron, a hard-driving former USAF officer, was more alive to the menace of Jew-Zionism, and he was, as one might expect, also pro-USA to the hilt).
I do not much like the concept (and Jew-Zionists in England use “litigation insurance” to pursue pro-Israel “lawfare”), so maybe it is just as well that our professional connection was mainly severed in 2002, when I decided to return to the ordinary practising Bar in England. I then moved to a large country house in Cornwall, and was based professionally at Exeter.
As already mentioned, I liked Tim (though not his then wife, to be frank; I only met her once), though I should say that he and his two main colleagues had no idea at all about how to run a law firm.
Life is short, something few if any really understand when in their twenties or thirties. We all have to try to accomplish something, not in a careerist sense, but for the future of the Earth, while in any particular incarnation.

🚨 Something very dark is happening in the #EU. Today, half a million people in Croatia's capital Zagreb turned up at a concert by a band linked to fascist ideologies. Crowds cheered, lit torches as the WW2 Nazi slogan "Za Dom Spremni" was chanted.
That idiot, a (?) 30-something wannabee or occasional scribbler, tweeted something about me quite a while ago, I think in 2023 or 2024. He seems to be very pro-Jew-Zionist and pro-Israel, and his msm scribblings (it seems as part of teams, not sole bylines) were 6-11 years ago. A few more recent scribblings have been for online outlets (of which few have ever heard). https://muckrack.com/colin-cortbus/articles.
Apparently, that Cortbus person was once a UKIP activist (when a student, about 12-14 years ago).
I notice that that individual has only about 2,500 Twitter/X followers. When a pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter in 2018, I had 3,000 followers (and that had been artificially lowered); by now I would have had tens of thousands of Twitter followers. Ah well…so much for “free speech” in this country…
Incidentally, I was unaware about that event in Zagreb. Looks as though parts of Europe are waking up.
I remember this. He was one of the few to speak out.

Economic sanctions rarely work. When I was in Rhodesia in 1977, the roads outside the capital, Salisbury (now Harare) were empty, but that was not because of sanctions (fuel rationing only lasted 1965-1971). New cars were often seen in the city, though none were of British manufacture; French, I think Spanish, or other. Sanctions had limited effect— things such as books, Scotch whisky etc. Nothing really major. Tobacco, oranges, chrome etc were still exported (often under false flags).

I wonder what there is in that about Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, Dershowitz, Clinton, Trump etc.
If MOSSAD or AMAN had that stuff, does the SVR now also have it, or some of it? About Trump, for example?
I presume that Lewis is hiding out in Israel. He has or had a flat in Eilat, a fact that he concealed from the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal when he was found guilty on several charges in 2018. Indeed, his Counsel told the Tribunal that Lewis should have his fine greatly reduced because Lewis’s only assets were his clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week.
Mark Lewis is little better than a confidence trickster.
Incidentally, Lewis was an abusive husband when married briefly (one year) to the Z-list “celebrity” and, briefly, Sky News newsreader, Caroline Feraday (amusingly, best-known for having been sacked by text message by BBC local radio about 15 years ago).
Not that I care at all about Lewis’s abusive behaviour to his then wife, who now lives in a “nowheresville” in the outer regions of Los Angeles (see my blog posts).
The Feraday woman joined with Lewis in attacking me viciously on Twitter (about my opposition to the Jewish fake WW2 “reparations” scam); in fact she initiated the attacks, with which Lewis then joined in. Until then (many years ago, about 2012 or so), I had never heard of the bastard, or her.
I’m being privately prosecuted by the ‘Campaign Against Antisemitism’ under the Communications Act 2003.
They say some of my posts on this platform (X) were ‘menacing’ against Jews and Zionists.

Mark Lewis was (maybe still is) a “patron” of that evil and squalid organization, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, working with its main characters, such as Gideon Falter (a proven liar and, arguably, perjurer) and the Jew-Zionist Israel fanatic, posing as “Head of Investigations and Enforcement”, whom we can call “Slitherman”.
An example below of Lewis’s abusive social media activity, which (after several years) got him into trouble (though not via me— unlike the Jew-Zionist troublemakers, I do not waste time making endless complaints to police etc):
(in fact, in 2018, it was revealed that Lewis constantly abused people on Twitter etc, even a young Jewish boy; Lewis blamed his medications for his abusive behaviour…).
My own Twitter account, as explained, was deleted by Twitter itself in 2018 at the instigation of effectively the same pack of Jews, while Caroline Feraday deleted her original Twitter account a year or two ago, mainly because it was too embarrassing for her in various ways. She has another Twitter/X account now (with only 115 “followers”, despite she herself following 166 Twitter/X accounts).
Caroline Feraday’s now-deleted Twitter account had, at one time, tens of thousands of “followers”, all fake, all bought by her and by “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who himself bought nearly 80,000 in an attempt to seem important, popular etc. Legal business news outlets even commented, cautiously, about the dishonest fakery of Lewis and his then wife.
Caroline Feraday now works for local public radio station KCLU in Ventura County, California, a subsidized radio station (National Public Radio network) with (putting it jokingly) about half a dozen listeners.
A few years ago, Caroline Feraday was publicly begging on GoFundMe, in an attempt to raise a mere USD $5,000. Sic transit gloriamundi…(and “celebrity”)…
I think it will become clear ‘mediocre’ is very generous.
More like ‘grossly unprofessional’ and perhaps even worse than that.

This is utterly ridiculous. If politicians “did nothing” how were they climbing on a far-right bandwagon? The far-right never stopped demanding action on the rape gangs. Keir Starmer is all over the place on this. His statements aren’t even internally coherent any more. https://t.co/OFjo76nhsB
As a former barrister, it is clear to me, I having seen it all before. Superficially clever little men and (sometimes) women, who pose as very intelligent within their insulated little legal-people bubble, but are usually clueless in the wide world of real events, big pictures, history, and geopolitics.
If Labour knew how to do the hard yards the rape gangs would have been snuffed out long ago. They were allowed to fester under Labour councils, local Labour leaders, officials appointed by local Labour politicians. Nearly all of whom gaslighted anybody who tried to speak up for… https://t.co/s94XjuonHn
Owen Jones was always (quite openly) trying to get people to block me on Twitter when I had an account (a pack of malicious Jews conspired to mass-report me and have me expelled in 2018). Owen Jones was not the only one asking people to block me, not converse with me etc; others included the Jew Finkelstein (now yet another absurd member of the House of Lords).
Lindsey, you’re less a U.S. Senator and more a loudmouthed lobbyist for Tel Aviv. Calling for “unconditional surrender” like it’s a video game while real people bleed. You serve Israel’s interests better than America’s. Change your title to Senator of Likud. 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌 pic.twitter.com/5QX4ldsh8l

The Israeli Jewish government (like that of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev against Russia), is desperate for the USA to weigh-in against Iran directly. Israel cannot win its war (which, after all, started when Israel attacked Iran without warning) without American help.
Note the persistent illogicality and unfairness of FPTP voting, though: Reform UK 27%, but 300 MPs instead of 176, and the Greens 10%, but only 4 MPs instead of 65. Also, Cons 17%, but only 30 MPs instead of 111.
The Jewish/Zionist lobby has enormous influence and (not always obvious) power over the politicians of the USA and UK, among other states. Trump is no exception.
Another point is that, especially in the USA, whenever you see or read about or from a supposed “expert” on geopolitics, especially but not exclusively the Middle East, 9 times out of 10 that talking head or scribbler is Jewish.
I was just looking yesterday, as I drove through, at the shopping area in the town very close to where I live. An affluent small town in coastal Southern England.
The big chains are mostly still there (Boots, Costa Coffee, Greggs, Holland & Barrett, M&S food hall, Waitrose etc), but the small independent shops have, many of them, closed up and disappeared. Why? Well, as I predicted at the time would happen, the sinister yet farcically-stupid “Covid” “rules”, “laws”, restrictions etc, so unnecessary (and utterly ridiculous), killed off those small businesses (despite furlough payments etc), and the knock-on effects of a poorer population also drove those shops to the wall over the past few years.
Examples? Well, the small barber-shop I once used, run by an old retired merchant seaman and his wife, which also employed a few local ladies, is no more. The old man died (nothing to do with the scamdemic/panicdemic, by the way), and his wife decided that she preferred to shut up shop. However, that was 2-3 years ago. The shop remains empty, as are those on either side (formerly a computer and office supplies place, and a junk shop).
A couple of new barber-shops have opened in the nearby High Street, true, but those are staffed by non-Brits (either Turkish or Kurdish).
I noticed, yesterday, that several small cafes are now closed, as is what had been a Cornish pasty shop. Some independent clothes shops too.
I went to the local Waitrose for the first time in months, mainly because I had £50 in gift tokens, and found that it has further declined since last summer. Not as many customers as there used to be at a similar time of day. Still, I bought 6 or 7 jars of red caviar, so that must have helped them.
More seriously, it is clear that people in the UK have been made much poorer not only because of the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic and its knock-on effects, but also because pay —not only recently but over the past few decades— has not kept pace with inflation, and particularly inflation in that most basic of needs— shelter, or housing.
Now “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves is sucking money out of the economy, and particularly out of the retail sector. The result will be further economic decline.
A measure of Basic Income must be the way forward.
Angela Rayner has a disabled child. Did she claim benefits to help with his living costs? Does she think he should be denied benefits now? https://t.co/WsSRWZvicq
That reminds me of the hypocritical part-Jew, David Cameron-Levita, who despite inherited tens of millions, went all-out to claim disability benefits and Carer’s Benefit for his sick and disabled child, but later —via Iain Dunce Duncan Smith and the Jew “lord” Freud— took away the same monies from poor people who really needed the cash.
I truly hate Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner, David Lammy, Liz Kendal.
They are the scum of the earth and traitors to the British people.
Well, hello everyone! Yes, it is really me. I am back! As a great number of you had noticed, I have been missing online for almost two months now. I disappeared almost as soon as the trial for the Southport Massacre ended.
[“Where did you go, Charlie? Well, hello everyone! Yes, it is really me. I am back! As a great number of you had noticed, I have been missing online for almost two months now. I disappeared almost as soon as the trial for the Southport Massacre ended. Public opinion and concern has been split as to why I went missing; between those who thought I had a breakdown after covering the massacre, and those who thought I had caved to government pressure to stop reporting upon the cover-up. Neither of these, thanks to the strength of public feeling and the support of my colleagues, is true. What really happened? Three days after the trial ended, my X/Twitter account was hacked. My profile remained intact; live but inactive. Except for one thing…My viral timeline of the Southport massacre had been unpinned and DELETED. This timeline had been collated on the day of Axel Rudakubana’s sentencing, and detailed exactly what had taken place on that dreadful summer’s day in Southport. It exposed how the UK Government had failed time and time again to prevent this monster from moving about with freedom, and what they and other authorities had done to cover-up their incompetence, and the devastating consequences of their political agenda. This timeline had been see by 50 million people within 3 days – and was recognised as one of the most authoritative records of the Southport massacre. But, just as my account was gaining momentum, and I had the platform to explore the depth of the corruption in this case – including the anti-white sentiment of Rudakubana being glossed over by the Establishment and mainstream media – this detailed timeline of evidence was deleted, and I was locked out the account until this morning. (More on this to follow.) I do not know who did this to me, or what caused X to withhold my account from me for almost two months. But there is one thing of which I am certain: Whoever did this did not want the hideous truth about the Southport Massacre in the public domain…“]

11 days now. You’d think that where there is evidence that lawyers might present a risk to the administration of justice, their regulators might think:
Those tweets from James Wilson, successful claimant in the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor, refer to the dishonest and negligent conduct of some (and it seems all, from what Wilson is saying) of the Jewish lawyers instructed by the unsuccessful defendants in the matter (one of whom, a vicious social media troll and Zionist, committed suicide before the case finished).
This must be the death of the Labour Party as anything even notionally “socialist” or even “social-democratic”. It goes way beyond anything done by Blair and Brown, or even Cameron-Levita’s “Conservative” regime during 2010-2015.
Why would anyone, especially anyone English/British, vote Labour-label now?
The by-election at Runcorn and Helsby now takes on an importance few would have expected. It is or was the 16th-“safest” Labour seat. Now, Reform has a good chance of winning it, according to opinion polls, bookmakers etc. I would go further: Reform has at least a pretty good chance of smashing the by-election, and thus humiliating both Lab and Con.
At the 2024 General Election, Labour got over 50% of the vote. We are now in a different political world. Reform came second last year, ahead of the Conservative Party.
The by-election is between Reform and fake Labour. The Cons have no chance, and their former voters, if they want to bin Labour, should vote Reform, even if only tactically. That is, surely, obvious.
I blogged about the by-election in more detail yesterday:
“The European Union is pushing for every household in the 27-nation bloc to have a three-day survival kit ready in case of war or natural disasters.
EU crisis management commissioner Hadja Lahbib said the proposals will be formally presented today as part of a broader ‘preparedness strategy’.
Brussels is hoping to ensure every citizen is equipped for 72 hours of self-sufficiency amid the growing threat of continental conflict breaking out.
EU citizens will be told to stock up on a dozen key items, including matches, ID documents in a waterproof punch, bottled water, energy bars and a flashlight, as part of their ‘resilience’ kit.
European leaders have said the invasion of Ukraine could soon break out into a ‘global’ war.”
[Daily Mail]
So what do the unfortunate people of the EU states and UK do once the 72 hours have passed, and the 3-days’ supplies have run out? Kill themselves? Kill the System politicians? (Hey, now… wait a minute…).

A few thoughts about Trump’s first days as President of the USA
My random thoughts start with the fact that Trump is unlikely to start a nuclear war with Russia. For me, that is number one, the question of primary importance. For a while, it looked as though the NWO/ZOG cabals were about to succeed in causing a third major war in Europe but, as far as I can see, that danger, though still present, may now be receding.
In fact, looking at Trump’s recent tweets about North Korea and other areas of the world, they read more like those of the businessman he is, rather than those of a warlord, statesman, or even ordinary politician. Trump is a businessman; he does not see the mileage in war or conflict— it interferes with the making of profits.
That businessman mentality is arguably out of place in the head of state of the most powerful state on Earth, but it has its positive aspect, i.e. the avoidance of war in Eastern and Central Europe, in the Middle East, and in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Presidential pardons for the rebels and/or protestors of 6 January 2020 are a very good thing, but I see that a number of social-national people convicted have been left unrescued. Trump should extend his courtesy and clemency to them as well.
Trump’s apparent hostility to a few countries not at all hostile to the USA —Mexico, Denmark (re. Greenland), Panama, and Canada— strikes me as entirely unnecessary.
I can only assume that Trump looks at the map, sees North America as a coherent whole, and then concludes that that whole continent should be under one rulership, US rulership. I seem to recall seeing a film (maybe starring Gary Cooper, not sure) in which an oligarchic cabal has a plan to take over not only the USA but also all of both North America and South America (and the bit in the middle, Central America). Did Trump once, in his own childhood long ago, see that same film? We shall never know. He himself may not even consciously recall seeing it, if indeed he ever did.
I note that Trump now says that the Israel-Gaza war is “not our war“, which is interesting. To me that says that he, now serving his second and final term as US President, no longer needs the Jewish lobby (though he has more in common with them, arguably, than he does with the Arabs and other Muslims).
Trump is not only a businessman; he is also one who thinks that he can negotiate successfully with anyone, and on any issue. He even wrote a book about it, The Art of the Deal. Thus he believes that he can strike a deal with anyone or any group or nation, based on mutual self-interest. That is likely to be successful, much of the time, but will fall down and fail when the adversary or opposing party is not motivated by self-interest as such, but by some fanatical or uncompromising belief.
Anyway, there it is. The next 4 years has begun.
Elon Musk
Much kefuffle about Musk’s odd “salute” gesture at the Inauguration.
In fact, Stuchbery has never had so many views on Twitter/X— 11M at time of writing. I believe that so many views might result in Twitter/X (and so, ultimately, and ironically, Musk) paying Stuchbery about USD $95. More than the bastard has earned in years! Still, I think that he will have to continue to rely on the largesse of the German social security/welfare system for the time being…
Actually, though he poses as “historian”, Stuchbery is not really one, not in the accepted sense.
My popular 2019 (inc. later updates) blog post about Stuchbery (who used to tweet about me from time to time) has just spiked again, by reason of his having tweeted about Musk in the past day or so. Hundreds of people today alone.
I was once on a ship, the Oriana, going west to east through the Canal. In 1969. I was just (by about 2 weeks) 13 years old. The Canal was then in the Canal Zone, ruled by the USA. To go into Panama itself, tourists or visitors had to pass through a kind of US Customs and Immigration, in effect, though it was all done by special Canal Zone police. At age 13, I was fascinated by the sidearms worn by the said police. Real “Wild West” pistols, huge and heavy-looking, sticking out of leather holsters. The uniforms were khaki, I recall, with wide-brimmed “cowboy” hats, rather as in the photo below that I have just found online today:
The ones I saw had “Wild West” holsters, though, and bigger sidearms than those in the photo. The weapons were the other way around, too.
I had asked my parents to go on the short escorted tour of Panama City. Out of the nearly 2,000 passengers on the ship, only about a dozen or so had asked to go into Panama, possibly in part because the tour started in the very late evening.
I recall that the First Officer of the liner (who used to say hello to me as I swam endlessly up and down the swimming pool late at night— I was an odd boy, arguably) saw me waiting to disembark, as the ship was secured to the dock, and remarked to me that “every thief, murderer and rascal (I think it was) comes to Panama.” Obviously Panama was not his favourite place for shore leave…
The “run ashore”, in the Royal Navy phrase, was not without incident. The dark and quiet city was patrolled by submachinegun-carrying soldiers in groups. Nothing seemed to be open (perhaps unsurprisingly, at nearly midnight), and there was an air of menace. In fact, 1969 was a year of coups d’etat in Panama.
The evening ended with an unexpected diversion, literally. Our little single-decker bus, carrying the dozen intrepid passengers off the ship, was just about to fire up and drive back to the Canal Zone when a long-haired blond and youngish (30-ish) American man, in one of those leather jackets with tassels, and carrying a large knife, told the bus driver to drive to where he, a rather unfunny Crocodile Dundee lookalike (though this was 17 years before that film was released) wanted to go. I was seated right at the front, near the driver. The driver put up no more than token resistance. We drove to wherever it was that our hijacker (who stood up throughout the fairly short journey, brandishing his weapon) wanted to go; he then disembarked, to general relief. The driver drove back to the Canal Zone, fast.
My family did manage to take a more normal afternoon walk around, I think within the Zone itself, when the ship docked at the other end of the Canal, at or near Colon. I especially remember a shop where they sold all sorts of odd stuff, such as stuffed baby alligators about 6 inches long.
Incidentally, part of the trip through the Canal, the bit that is or seems natural, was like being in the film The Naked Jungle: small waterfalls falling from the jungle-clad shores, parrots etc. Incredible humidity.
Panama is of course very different today. I had some legal connection with it when I was a barrister doing offshore work. It changed out of all recognition after the American invasion and restructuring of, and after, 1989.
Trump’s idea of seizing the Canal seems to me misconceived. For one thing, there seems to be no need. For another, there is a plan to dig another Pacific-Atlantic canal, in Nicaragua, thus lessening, in theory, the risk of the Panama Canal being blocked. In any case, the USA has many large ports both on the Pacific and Atlantic, so why worry?
Another point would be that any seizure of the Canal would stir up huge anti-American sentiment across Latin America. So why…?
“UK power prices jump to their highest in more than two years as the country imports electricity from Europe at record levels https://trib.al/isTt7hy.“
Well, goodness gracious me. Who could possibly have foreseen that, after the UK closed down its coal-fired power stations and imposed sanctions on Russia?… Oh…
Wait until the Jew Miliband and the other “net zero” fanatics really get the bit between their teeth.
Incidentally, I happened to see a brief TV report yesterday about how the “net zero” nonsense will mean 5x or 6x the number of giant electricity pylons in the country. Some pathetic pseudo-environmentalists, including one from the RSPB, were there, bleating about how they support “net zero” and were “working” to mitigate the negative consequences of covering the country with giant pylons. Pathetic.

I stopped donating (very modest donations, so be it) to Wikipedia when I realized that anything to do with UK social nationalism, WW2, and the old/tired “holocaust” farrago etc was being systematically vandalized by Zionist Jews.
In fact, a few years ago the malicious, indeed poisonous, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA” advertised on its website and, I think, Twitter/X account for Jew volunteers with their own Wikipedia accounts (i.e. so that their activities would not be seen to be a concerted CAA campaign or conspiracy) to “edit” (i.e. vandalize) Wikipedia.
Since legacy media propaganda is considered a “valid” source by Wikipedia, it naturally simply becomes an extension of legacy media propaganda! https://t.co/lwQlM51FRX

Though painfully slow, the Russian advance in the southeast of former Ukraine continues.
If and when Trump cuts off military materiel going to the forces of the Kiev regime, the Stavka can order a general advance with little prospect of serious opposition.
Ha. As I said, Trump thinks like a businessman, a property developer. Having said that, it may be that many actual Gazans might welcome heavy American investment, if it did not come with obvious Jewish control attached to it. At present, the enclave is pretty much uninhabitable. Massive investment would be needed to remedy the damage Israeli war crimes have done.
Translation: “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) wants hundreds of thousands of NATO troops, so that Russian forces can be pushed back, or so that NATO can in some other way be dragged into the war, or the next war.
Well, this week 7/10, thus just beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 10. I admit that my (correct) answers to q.’s 4 and 9 were educated guesses.
Blog readers
I am always interested to see from where hits on the blog come. In the past week, from 16 different countries (inc. UK). Of course, with advances in technology, you cannot say for sure where readers are located; some may be, say, in Australia but appear to be in the USA, but I daresay most locations are accurate.
I was just looking at the apparent location of readers since I started the blog towards the end of 2016, so 8 years ago. Readers from 155 countries and territories in the world, so from about three-quarters of the world. There are 195 states in the world, plus some extra territories that do not have that status (such as Antarctica— and, yes I have had the odd hit from there, presumably from some scientist at a polar research base).
I have occasionally mused on who it might be in (inter alia) Lesotho, Antarctica, Greenland, Burkina Faso, the Aaland Islands (maybe I can guess who that particular one is), American Samoa, Chad, Tadjikistan, or Congo-Kinshasa, that is reading my thoughts and ideas.
The largest number of hits has always been from the UK, though (about 70%, with a further 10% from the USA).
The readership of the blog, on a daily basis, is still modest, never reaching over a thousand on any one day, and often not reaching even a hundred (I do not publicize the blog anywhere, and am not on Twitter/X or Facebook etc), but I have always taken the view that “one human soul is a big audience“.
Risible how System political scribblers, ivory-tower academics etc really still think that elections in the 2020s are still won by ridiculous local political footsoldiers knocking on doors, disturbing and and irritating householders, or by the voters reading the absolute shite put out on leaflets etc. This is 2024, not 1924…
John Rentoul seems unsure. He neither endorses nor dissents. He probably imagines that people actually read those (mostly) LibLabCon leaflets at election-time. Wrong; most, maybe 99%, go in the bin unread.
As for “average age 61, opposed to net zero“, what about “almost all (real) British” (as well)?

Blast(s) from the past
I just re-read the blog post about the infamous New Zealand massacre, which happened nearly 6 years ago, in 2019. Apparently, that blog post has had a rather small, disappointingly-small, number of hits; frankly, I think it is still worth reading. Anyway, here it is:

The thing that people REALLY, REALLY don't want to admit about the mass rape gangs which operated in the UK for decades is that their crimes were racially and religiously motivated and justified by the perpetrators.
The sheer sickness of the present society is exposed when some thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity-hire” such as David Lammy is an MP, and now even a Cabinet minister, and is on TV politics shows, while at the same time someone such as me is either ignored or is treated as a political criminal. It’s just ridiculous, a bad joke.

With the “Conservative” Party as good as dead, and with fake “Labour” already, after only 2 months in office, crashing and burning, it is not impossible that, failing the emergence of a real social-national movement, desperate voters will have only Reform UK for which to vote in 2029 or 2028.
Those hundreds of “diverse” “Labour”-label idiots presently in the Commons will then die off like flies in Autumn.
Every time I think I couldn't be more shocked by the dystopian reality of British ‘public health’ policy and its associated ecosystem, something else comes along to knock me off my chair. This time, it's the turn of the ‘sick man of Europe report’ released yesterday.
It's like we're being prepared, with tons of them saying "I'm done with Musk and X. If you want to follow me, I'll be on BlueSky." Feels like setting the groundwork so that everyone thinks "ooh, I'll move over there too", making it easy for the Labour Party to censor Twitter.
The David Morgan Twitter/X account is one of the most worthwhile of those dealing with certain problems head-on. Those with a Twitter/X account will find his material of interest should they follow it.
Morgan, however, must —and probably does— realize that many types of people suffered both before and during the Second World War (and in the mid/late 1940s, after it ended). In most cases, not at the hands of National Socialist Germany (contrary to that which “the usual suspects” tend to say).
My generation, Gen Z is more awake than people realize.
“Keir Starmer has suffered a precipitous fall in his personal ratings since winning the election, according to a new poll for the Observer that comes before his first Labour conference as prime minister.
The latest Opinium poll reveals that Starmer’s approval rating has plunged below that of the Tory leader Rishi Sunak, suffering a huge 45-point drop since July. While 24% of voters approve of the job he is doing, 50% disapprove, giving him a net rating of -26%. Sunak’s net rating is one point better.
In a troubling assessment of the government’s opening months, only 27% think it has so far been a success, while 57% think it has not been successful. Even a third (32%) of those who voted for Labour at the last election believe the government has not been a success in its opening two months. Labour is seen as focusing too much on the government’s fiscal position when the public want them to focus on growing the economy.
James Crouch, head of policy and public affairs at Opinium said: “While the prime minister might have a world-beating new wardrobe, voters are refusing to wear his government’s austerity drive.“

So thick-as-two-short-planks “Deputy Prime Minister” Angela Rayner took “a friend” on her freebie break in Manhattan, as well as going (on another freebie break?) to Ibiza, where she made the UK a laughing stock by her vulgar antics in the so-called “VIP area” of a noisy horrible nightclub of some sort? (at age 44).
Very true, but that should not be used as a reason or excuse to vandalize the English countryside with tracts of boring, poorly-designed and ugly housing, with inadequate infrastructure (a fortiori, if that housing is destined to be used as hutches for migrant-invaders).
Sadly, when said friends were featured in a national newspaper gossip piece about him (meaning, about Scruton hobnobbing with people having radical “neo-fascist” political connections), Scruton decided to cut them from his acquaintances for reasons of careerism.
Scruton was a very influential academic later in his career, and published over 50 books which were translated into many languages, especially in Eastern and Central Europe (I myself recall seeing an entire bookshop window of Scruton’s works in Czech in the Old Town of Prague in 1999). Scruton, though, was fatally flawed by his wish to make money.

This of course is before what is going to be a pretty disastrous budget
Bearing in mind that only 4 out of 12 voting voters (4 out of 20 eligible) actually voted for Labour anyway, that is pretty damning, and much less than 3 months in.
Migrant-invaders. At best— useless parasites; at worst— criminals and/or terrorists.
Anyone supporting this invasion is, in a very real sense, a traitor to the British people and to all European people— and the future.
707. In a single day. All will now be housed, fed, given money, given medical and dental services, given other services etc by the “government”, i.e. out of the pockets of the British people. About £200 per day each. Maybe more. So at least £140,000 per day, just for today’s consignment of riff-raff.
Meanwhile, Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment and “elected” dictatorship is throwing billions at “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev), at African and Asian wastes of space, at all sorts of nonsense, and is cheating all British people, especially pensioners but also, down the line, the middle-aged and young (deprived of a decent future).
The Chief of the SIS/MI6 said, just a few days ago, that “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) has “the will to fight“. Ha. Most Ukrainians are trying to avoid or evade the draft (and we could save many billions in two ways— 1. by taking away Zelensky’s ricebowl; 2. by cutting back severely the huge amounts wasted on a “Secret Intelligence Service” that seems to accomplish nothing much of the time.
[note: before I could publish, the tweet above was either unpublished or (more likely) censored in some way.

Someone with hundreds or thousands of millions wants more than money; he wants power and influence. Whole cabals may be the same. Look at Twitter/X.

Pensioners freezing to death. Energy bills going up despite promises to cut them. Dangerous criminals being released onto the streets. The highest taxpayers fleeing the country. How’s that Labour vote working out for you?
The “Conservative” rabble had to go, and that was the reason people voted to bin them. However, it has to be repeated that, of every 20 eligible voters, only 4 voted Labour.
Starmer-Labour has no real or genuine mandate.
We are releasing 5,000 prisoners early this autumn while there are 10,400 foreign nationals in UK prisons. We should be deporting the latter to make room for the former and keep the British people safe.
In fact, a very high proportion of UK prisoners who are “British” nationals are also non-white, a fact which I noticed when I started at the Bar over 30 years ago. White British people are probably no more than half of the UK prison population, if that, despite comprising, still, maybe 80% of the UK population as a whole.

“UK police are recording too many hate crime incidents, getting involved in disputes that include “hurt feelings” and violating “common sense”, police watchdog warnshttps://t.co/823JvdgqHz
In my last decade or so, or “time of troubles”, I have had the unsought opportunity to assess at first-hand the abilities and attitudes of what now passes for a “police force” in England. Unimpressive. Semi-educated young (mostly young) men and women, their little heads full of “diversity” and “anti-racism” nonsense, purporting to lay down the law (which they plainly often do not even know or understand), and acting, pathetically, as a kind of poundshop Stasi.
As far as doing their proper job is concerned, the police in the UK are almost useless. On the two occasions over the past 15 years when I have been the victim of acquisitive crime (once when a whole wheel was stolen from my car, another time when a previous car was broken into and the door almost wrenched off), the police did nothing but record the incident and give me a number for my insurers, not even when (in relation to the wheel theft) I passed on, online, very cogent evidence as to the likely “type” and almost exact location of the likely perpetrators.
Useless. Not worth their salt.

Yvette Cooper (yet another Labour Friends of Israel member) is repeatedly dishonest. In the 2005-2010 Parliament, she and her husband, Ed Balls, were major expenses cheats and fraudsters.
Having said that, I sometimes muse as to whether treacherous evildoers such as Yvette Cooper have really thought through the consequences of what amounts to the treason of swamping the UK with ever-greater numbers of backward people from all over the world. I mean, as to what the socio-political situation here might be like in 5, 10, 20, 50 years. If they have, then their evil is even more culpable.

One big reason why so many Brits are fed-up, why Nigel Farage is back, is because they know both Left & Right, both Labour & the Tories, are committed to the ongoing failure of mass immigration. My latest in @TheSunhttps://t.co/XFT1hZuj21
There are still large numbers of (arguably) “well-meaning” pro-mass-immigration idiots around. They are loud on Twitter/X, and on msm shows such as BBC Question Time. In the country as a whole, while I think that they are a minority, and possibly a smaller minority than was the case 5 years ago, there are still far too many of them.
We have to be clear. The level of immigration into the UK, effectively a migration-invasion, that we have been seeing (~1M a year), is not just a debating issue for the TV, radio, or at university moots; it is an existential danger for UK society. UK society stands in peril of complete collapse within a decade because of this.
It seems that one must repeat and repeat the valid points about pressure on every part of society caused by or made much worse by the invasion, because that pro-immigration minority, most MPs, most TV and radio talking heads, and most newspaper scribblers, are NOT LISTENING.

Voters are increasingly dissatisfied with the System parties. A large part of that is not purely ideological but actuated by the ever-lower living standards and conditions of employment, housing and general life-expectation.
As the millions of migrant-invaders flow in, the situation can only intensify, along with the frustration and dissatisfaction of the UK masses, leading eventually to an overthrow of the entire system in this country.
What is so disgusting about the “Boris” Johnson pseudo-“upper crust” “cosplay” is that the bastard is not even really British. Part-Jew (one of his ancestors was an Orthodox Jewish rabbi in Lithuania), and brought up mainly in the USA and Belgium, with a gloss of Englishness via Eton and Oxford (where his nationality was recorded as having been “American”). Cameron-Levita is a more-polished version of the same, really.
The last actually/really British Prime Minister was Gordon Brown (if you leave out the moronic 49-day careerist “Prime Minister”, Liz Truss).

The so-called “expert commentators”— the Tim Montgomeries, the Ayesha Hazarikas, the Beth Rigbys… when have they been right about anything?
I saw a few minutes of Montgomerie on Sky News yesterday, all emotional because of the distress being suffered by people who have been Conservative MPs for years and who are now candidates, and the distress and anxiety suffered by their families now that the Cons look set to be all but wiped out. “These are people“, cried Montgomerie.
Ha ha! Watch me laugh as some at least of those System political swine and profiteers suffer a tiny bit of the anxiety and distress suffered over the past 14+ years by the sick, disabled, poor, homeless, unemployed etc, while those bastards voted time and again to bully and oppress —and repress— the real people suffering in this country. I want the “Conservative” careerists to suffer personally. I want them to have to chase jobs with no result. I want them to worry every day about whether they can feed themselves and their families. I want them to lose their homes and status symbols. I want them to suffer.
I think that a very large proportion of the country is with me on this.

Mariupol on the Sea of Azov, before the present war the 10th largest city of Ukraine, and which was heavily damaged in the fighting a couple of years ago.
Looks like Russia is making a good start, at the very least, in reconstructing the city.
Here’s a grass roots initiative I can get behind. Neil Oliver @thecoastguy has kept me sane in these crazy times. @TuckerCarlson could do no better than to introduce him to his audience. Both great family men with high moral standards. The conversation would be epic! Please 🙏 https://t.co/0AiGdQ23mt
I noticed that a Twitter lynch-mob has been attacking dissident broadcaster Neil Oliver over the past day or two after he had a dialogue with a doctor who disagreed with him on one or two issues. The Twitter mob have been trashing Oliver not only about the medical questions which were the subject of the show (on, apparently, GB News) but also Oliver’s whole past history, his TV shows on archaeology, his views in general, the way he looks, speaks etc.
Many of the Twitter mob claimed (and at time of writing, are still claiming) that the doctor in question completely defeated Oliver. Also, that Oliver (and MP Andrew Bridgen) had no right to speak because said doctor is a doctor, and so of course (?) knew more than they do.
Well, is that last so? I did not watch the discussion (in fact I have never seen GB News and am unsure whether my TV can even receive its broadcasts) but the said doctor is, as I understand it, an ordinary GP, not a specialist in vaccines or, indeed, viruses.
What interests me is how there is this superficially huge number of persons on Twitter (though probably not even a tenth of 1% of the general population) who are willing to join in with others of their sort to create a Twitterstorm which, in terms of real effects in the real world, makes not a ripple in society or the body politic.
The sheer hatred of their vituperative tweets is incredible. These are, more or less, the “anti-racists”, and/or those who mostly believe every last (and latest, and unexamined) detail of the Jew-Zionist so-called “holocaust” farrago, and who “support” (by having little Ukrainian flags on their Twitter profile) “Ukraine” (the regime in Kiev). Most probably support such as the “Black Lives Matter” nonsense, no doubt echo “refugees welcome” slogans (and so what if most of the migrant invaders are in reality not “refugees”), and prefer not to think of the impact of the invading hordes on British health services, housing, social cohesion, crime and, down the line, pay and conditions of employment. Oh, no, that’s for “the Government” to worry about.
I would be prepared to bet that pretty much the same bloc of Twitter posters support the “trans” nonsense, are “anti-Tory” (while —most of them— somehow believing that Labour-label under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer will be far better), and that almost all of them will identify with Remain/Rejoin and, of course, “FBPE”.
The Twit-mob lynch-mob of today is a contemporary version of the Stalinist or Orwellian “daily hate”. Examples seen today on Twitter:
“Work in a charity bookshop and it’s very noticeable that we can’t give Neil Oliver history books away. They used to be steady sellers. Same for Starkey and Johnson. History book buyers avoiding like the plague and GBNews viewers can’t read.“
“If there was ever going to be a Scottish UnaBomber it would be Neil Oliver.“
“Neil Oliver was always a biased clown, even on his “history” programs – now he’s just plain lost his mind.“
“No need to present evidence to dismiss the crazy claims of Neil Oliver and fellow loonies.”
There are hundreds of tweets like that, all from people who think that they know things, and they think that they “know” purely because they believe, by default, various System and msm sources.
They cannot bear even seeing a dissident opinion.
Opinion polls in the UK seem to be showing that censorship, “no-platforming”, “cancelling” etc are becoming more popular, especially among the young.
As far as I am concerned, if people are becoming more and more like easily-corralled sheep, then such people are not worth having in our society, and read that how you like.
Is that true, or just jingoistic hot air? I have no idea.

I am unsure at present whether there are being concentrated Russian forces in Belarus with the aim of launching an offensive south, toward Kiev, or whether those forces are there to keep Kiev-regime forces tied down on or near the Ukraine-Belarus border, so as to prevent the deployment of the Kiev-regime forces to the southeast regions, notably Donetsk and Lugansk, where most of the active combat is happening.

So UK, eh? Defence Minister Ben Wallace quits after telling us UK will soon be at simultaneous war with Russia, China, and African terrorists. I guess the Ukrainian laundry closing soon. pic.twitter.com/ZWKkNf3kHu
Britain should be politely distant with China, friendly with Russia, and hostile only to (((you know who))) and other untermenschen…
Wallace dismissed concerns over the pace of Ukraine’s offensive. He said Kyiv’s forces were ‘advancing every day’, but had been somewhat slower than expected because Russia's lessons learned and they've adapted accordingly. /2
Having adapted, Moscow's forces now lay mixed minefields, combining anti-personnel and anti-tank mines to further slow any Ukrainian advance. Russia is also learning, and adapting its forces, to deal with new, long-range weapons introduced onto the battlefield, Wallace added. /4
Wallace said Ukraine hadn't yet committed reserves from its 12 offensive brigades, the majority of which were trained and armed by Nato allies. He said Kyiv hadn't yet made a choice on what potential axes of attack to 'really pile it on' in an attempt to breach the lines. /6
On future security guarantees for Kyiv, Wallace said: 'You could expect more British troops in Ukraine after this conflict than you did before.' He suggested these troops would be as part of 'capacity building' training missions, building on operations Orbital and Interflex. /8
There is no “after this conflict“. Either Russia effectively “wins” the conflict (whether by negotiation or in the field), or the whole thing turns into a general Eastern European and Central European war between Russia and NATO, which might or might not go nuclear.
Whatever or whichever, there will be few more UK troops in Ukraine. In any case, the British Army is almost non-existent now in terms of major field presence. Take away the office bods, clerks, rear-echelon elements, and the whole brass-hat staff officer element (etc, meaning all non-combatant units), and I doubt that the UK could field, overseas, more than about 20,000 active troops, at most.
Who cares what Ben Wallace says, anyway? His military service consisted of 7 years in the Scots Guards (1991-1998), during which he attained the modest rank of captain. His subsequent pronouncements have been mostly idiotic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician).
Incidentally, we need not take his decision to stand down as MP at the next general election (presumably in 2024) as having been prompted by anything based on principle.
Wallace’s Commons seat, Wyre and Preston North, is set to be abolished via boundary changes, so were Wallace to wish to stay in the Commons, he would have to find another seat quite soon, almost impossible in view of the expected Conservative Party mass wipeout at the (2024?) general election.
I suppose that Wallace will now be looking for some well-paid business sinecure, combined with a nice £350-taxfree-per-day House of Lords peerage in Sunak’s resignation honours list.

No reaction so far from the usual Western “human rights” parasites about the plan to expel 800,000 Russians from their homes in Crimea, something akin to the deportations carried out by Stalin or (to a far lesser extent) Hitler.
In fact, the Kiev regime is engaged in “pie-in-the-sky” politics. Putin and the Russian Government (and people) will never allow the Kiev regime to annex Crimea again. If there were any real danger of that, the Russian forces would use tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield and, if that were not enough to stop any annexation, a strategic nuclear missile or two on Kiev itself. In that event, “goodbye Zelensky” or at least his corrupt and brutal government.

Watched about 10 mins of the new TV spy drama, A Spy Among Friends. Had I known that it was about Philby, I should probably not have bothered. I do not have a lot of time for the so-called “master spy” whose reputation was and still is the most inflated since Mata Hari. No need to go into all that now, though.
I am rather impatient with films and TV dramas. If they bore or irritate me in the first 10-15 mins, I rarely watch on. In this case, there were invented scenes, which may have been inevitable, but some of them lacked any credibility. For example, there was a West Indian involved in the first few minutes, highly unlikely in 1963. Also, the show pushed, in those opening minutes, the buttons of all the known cliches about Philby— cricket, booze, womanizing etc.
It is true that Philby, had he become Chief of SIS, would have been a “master spy” or “legendary agent” (“legendary” in more ways than one). Not because (or primarily because) he would have been able to give the KGB secrets at all levels, but mainly because he would have been in a position to cripple SIS strategically, structurally; even more important, he would also have been in a position to deliberately mis-advise the Prime Minister and other ministers, and to point them in the wrong direction strategically.
It never happened. Philby was found by General Kalugin to be living in a permanently intoxicated state in his apartment in Gorky Street (now once again Tverskaya Street). Kalugin, and Philby’s last wife, Rufina, sobered him up somewhat, and Kalugin gave him mentoring work to do.
I myself was slightly acquainted in the early 1990s with a former KGB officer (turned businessman) called “Ed” (Edvard, from the Baltic regions or pribaltika), who told me at lunch in Hall at Lincoln’s Inn in 1994 (I think) that he had once heard a lecture by Philby at the Lubyanka. That lecture must have been late 1970s, or maybe early 1980s.
“Though Philby claimed publicly in January 1988 that he did not regret his decisions and that he missed nothing about England except some friends, Colman’s mustard and Lea & PerrinsWorcestershire sauce,[84] his wife Rufina Ivanovna Pukhova later described Philby as “disappointed in many ways” by what he found in Moscow. “He saw people suffering too much,” but he consoled himself by arguing that “the ideals were right but the way they were carried out was wrong. The fault lay with the people in charge.”[85] Pukhova said, “he was struck by disappointment, brought to tears. He said, ‘Why do old people live so badly here? After all, they won the war.'”[86] Philby drank heavily and suffered from loneliness and depression; according to Rufina, he had attempted suicide by slashing his wrists some time in the 1960s.”
[Wikipedia]
Assuming that the above is accurate, Philby’s only very superficial understanding of politics, geopolitics, history, and economics is almost too obvious.
Even were A Spy Among Friends better than my first impressions, I would probably not bother with it, because at root, Philby just does not much interest me.
