Just the place for a holiday or an investment opportunity. Oh, wait a moment…

Were the UK to leave NATO and cultivate friendly relations with Russia, we could have Russian oil and gas at cost price.

What did you expect from Starmer-stein, a clueless careerist and moneygrubber who finds it hard to distinguish between a man and a woman…

Actually, that reminds me of the so-called “Ukrainian rent boys” trial involving Starmer, and which I believe has now been delayed even longer. Will be interesting to see what transpires.

As blogged previously, Starmer is trying to please both his largely Muslim —and other anti-Israel— voters, and at the same time please Israel and the UK Jewish lobby, that put Starmer into the Labour leadership, and so the office of Prime Minister, in the first place.

A house divided against itself cannot stand“…

Not an issue that affects me personally now, though it would do were I still living in the large country house of which I had a lease in the 2002-2004 period. That house had an oil central heating system so complicated that two engineers had to come from the Midlands to tell us how to set the controls on the control panel (in the cellars), a panel that looked like something out of an old sci-fi film, or Stingray.

The oil was delivered by road tanker once a month, and they pumped enough to fill the tanks, so the price varied depending on usage, i.e. on the season.

As to the cost (and bear in mind this was well over 20 years ago), one cold January I got a bill for oil, for the month, of not much less than £700. For today’s value, I suppose you would have to add on the cost of coal and logs for the open fires (another £100 at least), then more than double it. Make it £1,600. For one month. That did not even cover heating the whole house, just some bedrooms, drawing room. library, kitchen/morning room area, Victorian conservatory, and the inner hall. We closed off many sections, including the ballroom.

Quite. The Jews of Israel started this war, Trump concurred because they effectively control him and his increasingly mad administration (they may be blackmailing him re Epstein etc), and they and Trump must now face the Iranians alone.

Incidentally, should Israel fall at some future point, and Jew “refugees” start to play the victim (again) and want to move en masse to Europe, Europe including the UK, Ireland etc, should reply, “NEIN DANKE!

If only we in the UK had done that in the 1930s and 1940s.

[“Professor John Mearsheimer:

We’re not winning against Iran. We’re not winning.

We’re sending a message that we’re a bunch of fools. That we started a war we can’t win.

We didn’t have the required military forces to achieve any of the objectives that we were floating, and we had no plan.

What does this tell the Chinese and what does it tell the Russians?

It tells them that we are incompetent. Of course the Russians have had enough dealings with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to fully understand just how incompetent we are.“]

Typical of the sort of nincompoops recently heading and/or now heading the armed services in the UK (maybe other services too, in fact). That one wants the UK to send its few ships to the Gulf to assist the evil Israeli regime and the mad Trump regime to fight Iran. A contrived and unnecessary war which has nothing directly to do with us.

Admirals who send ships into unnecessary wars, knowing they may well be sunk, and generals who send troops to almost certain death (when they need not) are unfit and should be dismissed or (if retired, like that one in the Daily Mail) ignored.

Now imagine the situation were there either an effective police force in this country or, failing that, a kind of British Freikorps, a squad of which would immediately detain and/or eliminate the migrant sex criminal.

Monkeyworld.
