I notice that the lady is wearing the insignia of a full general. This is her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharon_Nesmith.

Realistically, one can see what is going on here. The Army wants to tick the “we’re rough and ready, if need be” box for benefit of those MPs (and the general public) rather than say the truth, i.e. “we have only a few tens of thousands of soldiers, maybe 70,000 at most, and only a few thousand of those are really battle-ready in any sense“…

Another truthful response might be “in any real war between Russia and NATO forces, much of Europe will become a devastated and irradiated wasteland, and the UK would probably be the worst-hit of all, with its US air bases and the Trident submarine pens in Scotland” (submarine pens do exist in Western France as well, though fully under French command).

In reality, the UK is only a major player in that deadly game because it is an “unsinkable aircraft carrier” for the US forces. Why are our treacherous NWO/ZOG governments still playing that 1940s-1980s Cold War game, and why are they pretending that “we” can fight Russia (in any way at all)? Indeed, why are they still pretending that “we” might “have to” fight Russia anyway, when Russia has no interest in invading Western Europe, Central Europe, or even (most of) Eastern Europe?

Travelogue— Moscow and other cities

Again, an absurd title/subtitle, but the video itself is interesting. As previously noted on the blog, either I missed out on my own visits (in 1993 and 2007) or Moscow is a very different city these days! I think both, really, but probably more the latter.

That Sebastian Salek individual is typical of what Labour now is: Labour supporters are now mainly non-European, and many of the more active are either involved in low-level journalism/public relations or some kind of publicly-funded activity.

Listen to that outright liar. Unbelievable (literally…).

Look at Goodwin’s face! The “cuck” is terrified of even slightly “offending” the Jew-Zionist lobby and its Israeli hub.

I agree with much of that which Goodwin has been saying in recent months. I agree with much, not all, of Reform UK’s views. However, they have several very weak points in their armour. The worst is, of course, this pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby viewpoint, which may be partly sincerely-held (though, if so, it does not say much for Goodwin’s, Farage’s, or Tice’s perspicacity), but is evidently partly in place because Goodwin/Farage/Tice/Reform are afraid of being “cancelled” on TV, radio, newspapers, social media etc by the power and influence of the Jewish/Israeli lobby. Craven.

Israel is no “ally” of the UK. Its founders hanged, shot and blew up British soldiers and civilians even during the 1939-45 war against the German Reich, terrorism that intensified after that war’s end.

[British Army sergeants hanged by Jews in Palestine]

These are the aliens Goodwin calls “allies”…

There are other aspects to Reform UK policy which may put off large numbers of voters, particularly its pseudo-“libertarian” socio-economics, but also the fact that Reform will not deport “legal” non-European migrant-invaders, only (they say) the “illegals”. I doubt whether they will even do that on a large scale, but they say they will…

Reform’s only useful function, in my view, is to break up the existing System “three main parties” scam. Once that is achieved, we’ll see.

I agree, largely, with this, though:

The voters have, most of them, already turned away from both Lab and Con, though the LibDems, as traditional default alternative or dustbin have managed to entice many former Con voters, and many young voters.

The flaws in the Reform policy offering may not much affect the overall result, because people are thoroughly sick of Lab and Con and want things to start to work properly again, putting it at most basic. Lab and Con both have to be destroyed; Reform is the only immediate way to do that.

Perhaps so, but what about the Jew-Zionist-Israel lobby, which suborns police and CPS, and makes false, lying, and indeed perjuring, allegations and accusations to police, professional regulators, the mass media etc under the anti-“antisemitism” banner?

In the UK, the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby is the main danger to free speech and general freedom of expression.

Hello, Goodwin…are you listening? (I doubt it).

Morning thought

Saw a few minutes of some TV propaganda piece featuring Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves. She is so much of a robot that she puts previous political robots, such as “the Maybot” (Theresa May) into the shade. Rachel Reeves strikes me as a human tick-box, most of the time. There seems to be nothing in between a robotic impression and a meltdown impression, as seen in the Commons yesterday.

Interesting news. Incidentally, that airport looks better than I had supposed. Photographed nicely, anyway.

Goodwin seems to have been “on a journey”, ideologically. Perhaps that journey has not yet arrived at its final destination.

Travelogue— Batumi (Adzharia)

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

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

As on previous occasions, a slightly silly title and subtitle, but the video itself still fairly interesting.

Many years ago, I wanted to visit Sukhumi, a small resort in Abkhazia, north of Adzharia , which resort was developed under 19thC Tsarist rule, but unfortunately there was considerable civil war damage after the collapse of the Soviet Union; at any rate, I never did go there; neither have I ever been to Batumi, an autonomous part of Georgia.

According to Electoral Calculus, that translates into a Commons with 363 Reform UK MPs, Labour 129, LibDems 69, SNP 29, and Cons 25 (Greens 7, Plaid Cymru 5 etc).

Cons once again in notional 5th place. Near-terminal.

I imagine that, in that situation, Reform could offer most of the remaining Con MPs a home, were they willing to defect. On the other hand, why would Reform even bother, already having a fairly large majority on those polling figures?

It is now probably only a matter of time before the Russian side can achieve a significant breakthrough, and then roll over the whole of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, leaving open the questions of Kiev and Odessa (which should be open cities, probably), and allowing the Ukrainians to maintain a non-belligerent rump state centred on, presumably, Lvov.

The suspect, who has not been identified, was said to have lashed out at travellers on board the ICE 91 train to Vienna this afternoon at around 1:55pm local time. 

The man, believed to be Syrian according to German newspaper Bild’s sources, was alleged to have boarded with an axe and a hammer, before one brazen passenger disarmed him of one of the weapons and fought back.”

Same situation exists in the UK in respect of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, a pack of malicious, lying, perjuring Jew-Zionists. Effectively a volunteer offshoot of the Israeli Embassy in London (albeit that some of them are paid out of large funds donated from wealthy Jews in the UK, and from Israel), they make unfounded and untrue allegations to police, professional regulators, and others (eg the Crown Prosecution Service), and try to close down venues hosting anyone supposedly “antisemitic”. Glastonbury is their latest large target.

Latest example? Published by the malicious “CAA” cabal only this morning:

A new day, and a new attempt to (as “they” themselves put it) “ruin” someone they call “antisemitic”

Does that mean that malicious liar Falter, and others, will be leaving the UK, and going to Israel (or the USA or elsewhere)? We have seen many such “threats” before from others, but they rarely seem to actually go…

[“Israeli Newspaper, regarding impact of Iranian missiles:

The shortage of Arrow missiles poses an increasing threat to the home front, as the fall of an iranian missile in a populated area could cause economic damage estimated at no less than 300 million shekels, according to Ministry of Defense estimates. The mayor of Bat Yam stated that a missile falling in his city left “the largest destruction site in Israel since its establishment,” noting that the explosion destroyed approximately 160 dunams and damaged about 120 buildings, including 20 buildings that were completely destroyed, killing nine people. He added: “And all this from just one missile.”

The cost of producing the most advanced generation Arrow missile is 12 million shekels, which is a huge amount, but the problem is not the price. What matters is filling the stockpile, because you do not press a button to get an interceptor missile.

At the heart of the current dispute lie interceptor missiles, particularly “Arrow 3 and 4.” These missiles are an extremely important means of countering missile attacks. International media reported concerns about a shortage of them, after the Iranians posed a major challenge to the Israeli defense system. According to security sources, all relevant parties in the Ministry of Finance have been informed of this, but the required budget has not yet been transferred.“]

Opinion polls supposedly ask questions of a representative sample of the population. Only about 80% of the UK population is now white/European. That suggests that pretty near 100% of real Brits want those predators, scavengers, and parasites, expelled or otherwise eliminated.

Of course, standards of education in the United States have always been poor. In the Second World War, German Military Intelligence officers were dumbfounded to discover, after the Normandy Landings of 1944, that many American military units were regularly supplied with comic books for the troops’ reading matter.

Anyone who has lived in the United States will be aware at what a rock-bottom level is the education and general knowledge even of many of those at university graduate or professional levels.

Unfortunately, that is also slowly becoming more true of the UK than it was in the past.

[“More evidence that the NHS and ambulance service is unfit for purpose. This afternoon, I was walking through Huntingdon (Cambridgeshire) on my way to the station when I heard a thud and a scream behind me. I turned round to see that a woman had fallen on the broken paving stones and was writhing in pain. I and the owner of a nearby tattoo parlour went to assist. The woman was complaining of pain in her arms, legs, and left hip. She was in shock and very distressed. She said she didn’t feel she could get up, even with assistance. Her breathing was laboured. Fearful that she may have fractured her hip or limbs, and fearful of trying to move her, we agreed to call 999. Tattoo man made the call while I cleaned blood from her hands, comforted and reassured her. The call handler informed him that “a clinician will review the case and may call you back in the next four hours” (!) I take the phone, explain the woman is flat out on the pavement, can’t move, may have broken something, is in shock, and crying out in pain. I insist that we can’t just leave her on the hard pavement for 4 hours in the hope of a clinician deciding if an ambulance is needed, and that she needs to be checked out at the hospital asap. Any delay might exacerbate her injuries. Call handler says she is following protocol and that this ” is the most appropriate action”. I disagree, explain again that the woman has fallen on a concrete surface and can’t move, and her breathing is laboured, but it’s clear call handler won’t budge. The call ends with call handler telling me to shield the woman from the sun! Er… how? “Put a coat over her.” It’s 34C, and she’s telling me to procure a coat… I hang up, and after 5 mins, redial. A more switched on call handler responds this time. Ambulance arrives in about 8 mins. Had I not made that second call, the woman would have remained on the pavement for hours. The lady is now back at home.“]

Shocking, and a similar incident happened near me, at the local Waitrose, I think 2 years ago. By the time I passed by, the victim was already being attended to by Waitrose staff and some others, either her family or stray customers. I naturally assumed that an ambulance would be there before too long. In fact, Waitrose people told me the next day that an ambulance only arrived after 4 hours.

Having said that, I have also seen some sterling work both by ambulance paramedics and other NHS staff, but that is what happens in gradual societal collapse— it is indeed gradual, not the same everywhere, rather hit and miss.

Britain is not collapsing overnight, or in one year, or even in one decade. This is characteristic. When the Soviet Union eventually collapsed, and that took several years (some would argue, decades), the momentum of habit kept things running normally in places, even as near-chaos happened elsewhere.

I recall seeing a TV news piece from the BBC (I think) in the early 1990s about Yeltsin’s post-Soviet Russian society. I myself had already been there, in 1993, though not for long and only in and around Moscow.

In that news report, we saw a uniformed lady in some small place outside Moscow. She was the station-mistress of a very small railway station, just a halt really. Despite not having been paid at all for four years (!) she still kept the station clean, planted and weeded the flower troughs, and was there for most of the arrivals and departures during the day.

Was it Aristotle who said that civilization was immanent, something inherent, or inborn? Maybe it was St. Thomas Aquinas. Ah…looking now at Wikipedia, it seems not; quite the reverse, in fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanence.

Never mind. My point here is that people often go on doing their duty even as society decays and collapses. Some people, anyway.

The NHS is a bit of a touchstone in the UK. For some, it is unique, envied worldwide, the greatest development of Britain, ever, and staffed by wise medics, angelic nurses, and public-spirited support staff. For others, it is a giant waste of money, badly-organized, and run largely for the benefit of its own employees. Examples of all of the above can be found, even in the same hospital or relating to the same patient’s care, and easily enough.

The same with society generally. Parts of UK society can be seen, even today, as advanced, optimistic, worthy of admiration. Other parts of our society can, equally objectively, be seen as horrible, toxic, and worthy of being eradicated, exterminated.

A process such as the development, or decline, of a society cannot easily be seen fairly or accurately by people who themselves are within that process. cf. the “Fall of the Roman Empire”, a complex process that took place over hundreds of years.

Nevil Shute, quoting T.S. Eliot, put it well at the end of his once-famous novel On the Beach (as a child of 10-13 in 1960s Australia, I noticed that almost every house had a copy): “...this is how the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper“. Gradual mortality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Beach_(novel).

At what point do British people say that the present “one man one vote” supposedly representative “democracy” has become invalid (for several reasons, one being that only real English/Welsh/Scots/British people should be allowed to vote)? An open question.

I live only 15-20 miles from Southampton (depending on route etc). Alien, in several ways. As for Reading, I was born there (in 1956), but when I last saw it, some 18 years ago, 2007 I think, both the central parts and some of the outlying parts to the east had changed out of all recognition, though the area where I spent part of my childhood and part of my teenage years, Caversham Heights (on higher ground on the other side of the river from the main town) had not changed very much.

The Kiev regime is losing 1,000-2,000 soldiers daily, perhaps more (especially if you include medivac cases and desertions) . That is a rate of attrition that must lead to the collapse of the front-line before very long.

Rachel Reeves. Hateful woman. Member of Labour Friends of Israel. Thought she was so tough as she hit those she thought unable to defend themselves— pensioners, the sick, the disabled etc.

That horrible woman even contributed to a Jew-Israeli propaganda book about Auschwitz.

I am very glad she is being stamped on. I hope that that both continues and intensifies.

Ha ha…

As a confirmed “supporter” (near-agent) of Israel and the Jewish lobby, Rachel Reeves has no interest in the dead of Gaza (or the poor of the UK, come to that).

Labour is just a label now. In fact, one of its least impressive MPs, Jess Phillips (an expenses cheat, freeloader, and moneygrubber) admitted as much several years ago.

Rachel Reeves and her husband, combined, are dragging down a total of about half a million pounds a year.

I should love to see her lose her Commons seat too. 2029?

(i.e. the Israelis, and Jewish-Zionist interests generally).

My advice to her is to get on your broomstick and fly far away, until you are forgotten (should take a few weeks).

I love it when one of those smug, moneygrubbing, freeloading, careerist, pro-Jewish-lobby (even better) System MP drones is toppled, and crashes to oblivion (as Rachel Reeves surely will).

Had I a button that would send Reeves (and the entire Starmer-stein misgovernment, and the fake “Conservatives”, and some others) into orbit, I would not just press it, but make a fist and bang on it like Khrushchev did at the UN.

It follows that I have not one atom of sympathy, fake or other, for her. Au contraire.

Yes to more English/British children, but no to more children from non-whites resident in the UK.

Even that does not tell the whole story, because quite a high proportion of the grandmothers, or grandfathers, or both, of the remaining 66% are in fact also non-white, non-European.

About 1,600 babies are born daily in the UK. Only about 400 of those are actually English/British, or fully English/British.

8 out of 10 of those countries are very backward, and so are most of the people. As for “Romanians“, I would be prepared to bet that most, the vast majority, are not real Romanians at all but Roma Gypsies.

Refer to earlier comment. The real figure, i.e. children born to wholly or partly non-white English/British parents and grandparents is nearer to 70% now.

USG” = “U.S. Government”. As for Russia’s economy “starting to creak”, has Steele taken a look closer to home recently? UK, EU states etc…

Steele [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Steele] was an officer of SIS/MI6 1987-2009 who, in more recent times, has worked in the private sector, and has been involved, inter alia, in preparing “black propaganda” dossiers of doubtful veracity targeting Trump and others, and Russian interests generally. He cannot now conveniently travel in either Russia or the USA, and is believed to live and/or have property in Surrey, south-west of London.

According to Wikipedia etc, Steele acted as a paid FBI source between 2014-2016, and was paid around USD $100,000 in toto.

In my opinion, probably not at all reliable.

As an outsider, not involved in secret activities, I have always been sceptical of the value of the SIS/MI6 apparat. I still am. Where are the successes? (and it is no answer to reply that they have to be kept secret).

Looking at Steele’s tweet, I might bat back at him the same question, but about his own activity— cui bono?

I have just looked at a few recent tweets by Steele. He is, it seems to me, in danger of becoming obsessed by the idea of Trump as Russian secret (or not-so-secret) agent.

Reminiscent of those SIS/MI6 and MI5 oddities of the 1960s and 1970s (Peter Wright, Stephen de Mowbray etc) who were convinced that the D-G of MI5, Roger Hollis, and others (including the Prime Minister, Harold Wilson) were Soviet agents: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Wright_(MI5_officer); and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_de_Mowbray; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Hollis.

Using Electoral Calculus, that would suggest Reform 276 MPs, Labour 199, LibDem 73, Cons 47, SNP 24. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Reform has probably fallen back a bit by reason of two factors: its kneejerk pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby pronouncements, and the perception (seen in comments by pro-Reform Matt Goodwin, as well in some by Tice etc) that Reform wants to radically cut back the Welfare State.

As for the Conservative Party, probably damaged beyond repair now. 14 years of terrible misgovernment in almost all if not all areas, and now “led” by hopeless Nigerian woman Kemi Badenoch.

[“I loathe disability cuts full-stop from any party, what an absolute disgrace. But let’s be quite clear, Tories are opposing them BECAUSE THEY DON’T GO FAR ENOUGH. That is an appalling position to adopt, unpopular & mad, look at how the public’s reacted to Labour’s plans! I’d almost respect that despicable position more if they at least backed Labour’s intention to bring welfare bills down, it looks more principled – if you believe in disability cuts which dear lord I don’t. So Labour want to bring in horrific cuts, Tories (and Reform) want deeper cuts but Tories will oppose even though they agree with the mission but think it’s underpowered. Beyond unprincipled. The vote tonight reveals an all-round shitshow of cruelty, cynicism and performative opposition. No wonder voters despair.“]

The only thing that makes System MPs afraid is […COMMENT REDACTED because the UK no longer has much freedom of speech…].

That is because Starmer-stein and his cabal are not really a Labour government, except in terms of label; they are a Labour Friends of Israel regime. Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, all of that rubbish lot.

High Peak is an unfortunate constituency. First they had Conservative Friends of Israel MP Robert Largan (2017-2024), now they have Labour Friends of Israel MP Jon Pearce (2024-). The difference is mainly the party label.

What price “democracy” when, whomsoever you vote for, you get a Friends of Israel drone?

Diary Blog, 30 June 2025, including thoughts around the decaying remains of the one-time Soviet city of Vorkuta, Northern Russia

Morning music

[The high country of Shropshire]

Vorkuta

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

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

https://meduza.io/en/feature/2020/01/27/europe-s-easternmost-city

I have only ever met one person who has been to Vorkuta, and his was an involuntary visit that lasted for many years; a Pole sent there as a young man, I think in or about 1940, along with many others. I believe that he somehow survived a decade there, and was eventually repatriated to his family in Bielsko-Biala, south-west Poland. Maybe about 65 when I met him and his family in 1988, he was a bit of a tough guy, and he must indeed have been tough, in more youthful days, to survive for 10 years as a prisoner and slave-labourer in Vorkuta.

Looking at that film (above), I am again struck by the harshness and brutality that humans can inflict on each other, but also by the incredible resilience and ability to create that humans have.

Vorkuta, like other cities in inhospitable areas and harsh climates (Magadan, Norilsk etc) which were wholly a product of the Stalinist period of the Soviet system (Vorkuta did not exist even as a hamlet until the 1930s), had at one time (1960s, 1970s, 1980s) a real city life, with a railway station, buses, an airport, a city theatre, hospitals, cinemas, sports centres, even a symphony orchestra; also, some fairly impressive-looking official buildings.

[Vorkuta: the now-seemingly-abandoned and ruined Palace of Culture at Severny, an offshoot of Vorkuta. A local arts and culture centre, complete with dilapidated statue of Lenin in front; building probably dating from the 1950s, but photograph dating from 2020]

Vorkuta had, at one time, 115,000 inhabitants. The real population is now thought to be well below 50,000, perhaps as low as 30,000.

See also:

My point is that civilization is not a simple continuum. Rudolf Steiner, Valentin Tomberg etc have described human evolution as a staggered spiral. There can be breaks in the spiral. Civilizations or cultures arise, but also decay and disappear. Amazing places can be created and built out of “nothing”, but those same places can fall to pieces and disappear even from memory and/or from recorded history.

The beautiful city of St. Petersburg was created from swamp and forest by the vision, in origo, of one man, Peter the Great, and still exists, now with millions of inhabitants (it is commonly said to be the 4th or even 3rd-largest city in Europe, depending on whether Istanbul is accepted as European). On the other hand, famous Sparta left almost nothing behind it but memories become history. Troy was, for many centuries until its site was rediscovered in the 19thC, thought to be not even legendary but mythical. New York City was created from “nothing”, from the 17thC onward, and still exists, yet the huge cities which once existed in Mexico and Central America and elsewhere have either disappeared or been supplanted (as at Mexico City) by very different successors.

Vorkuta was built on brutality and suffering, but then so was Petersburg…

The world, particularly Europe but also the Middle East, North America, Russia, stands in peril from massive and probably nuclear war. The cities of the West and Centre of Europe also stand in peril from internal strife caused mainly by migration invasion by backward hordes from other parts of the world. Our present overall culture and civilization may not survive the 21st Century, not in their current forms.

We should all be thinking about these matters and about how to salvage as much as possible of our present advanced culture and civilization, should that become necessary.

Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst: “Many people don’t realize that Israel was perhaps one or two weeks away from total defeat. Some say, ‘Oh, you’re just repeating Iranian propaganda.’ Well, then listen to me…”

“Israel has two seaports, and Iran closed them, so there was no sea traffic. Iran also destroyed two oil refineries — in Haifa and Ashdod — or disrupted their ability to produce fuel. Iran closed Israel’s only international airport.“]

So why the ceasefire? Israel will use it to regroup, resupply etc.

Russian travelogue

Looks like I missed out in a big way on my two visits (1993 and 2007) to Moscow! In some ways, at least… Still, they were business trips (mainly).

Having said that, there were huge changes visible in 2007 as compared to 1993, and it seems clear that the changes since 2007 have been at least as great.

Letting existing sick and disabled people continue to receive help, but cutting off help (income) from similar people in the near future, ismorally wrong“, in my view. That is almost unarguable, surely?

That is the MP for Normanton and Hemsworth in Yorkshire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Trickett; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normanton_and_Hemsworth_(UK_Parliament_constituency).

Trickett cannot be bullied by Labour whips. He is already 74, so unlikely to contest another general election in 4+ years’ time. Also, he got over 47% of the vote in 2024, with Reform UK second on 29%. If deselected, he could, should he so choose, stand as Independent Labour, and so either win or let in Reform, which may have a good chance anyway.

Starmer-stein is too busy complying with whatever Israel and the UK Jewish lobby want done to actually do anything positive for this country or its (real) inhabitants.

So much of the msm/entertainment industry/music industry etc is in the hands of Jewish persons, and (as the Jew-Zionist orgs constantly remind us) about 95% of Jews in the UK support Israel, support the war in Gaza, the attacks against Iran (etc).

Even the Jewish anti-Zionist jazz musician, Gilad Atzmon, was targeted and persecuted by Zionist Jews, and his shows attacked or cancelled, to the extent that he eventually had to relocate out of the UK, to Greece: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilad_Atzmon.

For once, I have to agree with O’Brien. The fact is that the Jew-Zionist element in Israel, in Palestine generally, and also in countries such as the UK and USA, France, Germany etc, is out of control. “They” have grabbed both influence and direct power, and are abusing that influence and power.

Russia is slowly, painfully slowly, winning by attrition. It should never have come to this, but “we are where we are”…

[“The underlying discontent among rebellious and even loyal Labour MPs stems from what many would say is a pathetically late discovery: that what’s driving so much government policy is Rachel Reeves’s fiscal rules and the absolute power of the Office for Budget Responsibility in determining whether she is breaching those rules or not. Any illusion that this isn’t the single most important driver of government decision-making was shattered today by the revealed contradiction between its establishment of a supposedly fundamental review led by disabilities minister Stephen Timms to shape new criteria for awarding Personal Independence Payments, while nonetheless sticking with the contradictory stipulation that from November next year no one will be eligible for PIP if they don’t score four points on one of PIP’s existing criteria. It is absurd and illogical to characterise Timms’s review as the face of humane reform while simultaneously saying that this new four-point rule based on existing criteria will willy-nilly come into effect next year. So what’s really going on? The work and pensions secretary’s unspoken reason for sticking to the four-point reform is that without it, and under the OBR-assessed fiscal rules, Reeves would have to fill a £5bn hole in her finances in the autumn’s budget, and not the £2.5bn hole created by Kendall’s partial welfare-reform climb down. That is a big difference when it comes to any taxes Reeves may have to raise or any spending she may have to cut. So a growing number of Labour MPs see this subservience to the OBR and the fiscal rules as just the stupidest motivation for making today’s decisions that affect the lives of the most fragile of UK citizens – decisions that will, on the government’s own calculations, shift 150,000 vulnerable people into poverty. These MPs were bitten once by the OBR dog when Reeves chose to means-test the winter fuel allowance as proof of her fealty to the OBR’s jurisdiction over her own fiscal rules. With the disability reforms, many of them now feel twice shy. They don’t ask why a Labour government respects the OBR, especially after the Truss/Kwarteng fiscal debacle caused by their disrespect for the OBR. But they do question why the Chancellor and Treasury endow the OBR with an almost mystical ability to determine which policies are sensible and why Reeves has seemingly abdicated responsibility for trying to sell the government’s initiatives to the country’s creditors independently of the OBR and fiscal rules straitjacket. So whatever the outcome of the vote tomorrow on the welfare reforms, Reeves and Starmer are now under enormous pressure – probably irresistible pressure – to lose their OBR religion.“]

The rest of that thread is unintentionally funny: some Labourite cretin fantasizing about how much better this fake-Labour government would have been had either Liz Kendall (WHAT?!) or (Jesus H. Christ!) Gloria de Piero had become Labour leader! The latter, incidentally, was the useless and brainless TV presenter who became a “Labour-lite” MP in 2010, stepped down as MP in 2019 (knowing she would not be re-elected) and is now, thankfully, all but forgotten.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_De_Piero].

I do not know much about Rod Stewart, but I get the impression that he is someone who does like to give someone a chance. Starmer-stein has had his chance, and continues to do things that make him and Labour either hated or held in contempt, or both.

Needless to say, for me, Reform UK is underwhelming, not really “national”, and is pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, pro-finance-capitalism etc, BUT also the only game in town to crush the existing System party set-up that has been around for so long, certainly since the 1930s, and effectively since about 1900 if not prior to that date.

For me, it scarcely matters that Reform UK is itself basically a germinal System party, because its role is to chuck Labour and Conservative parties into the dustbin of history. After that, we shall see…

Ha. If only! The Russians have rather painted themselves into a corner with the “Nazi” stuff. The fact is that the Kiev regime is basically Jew-Zionist, and allied to Israel. As for “Nazi descendants“, that presumably refers to the new British SIS Chief, Blaise Metreweli, who has both Georgian and Ukrainian antecedents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Metreweli.

There has been a trend in Russian propaganda in recent years of being rather silly, especially around the “neo-Nazi Ukraine” stuff, and so on. Also, the pro-Stalin and “Great Patriotic War” nostalgia stuff.

Maria Zakharova might educate herself a little were she to read more widely about the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. e.g. The World I left Behind (published in Russian as Niece of the General Secretary, Племянница Генсека) by Lyubov Brezhneva: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyubov_Brezhneva.

I need Russia to win the war with the Kiev regime, Russia has to win this war, appalling though it is, but it must drop the silliness of some of its propaganda (and also appoint better military and intelligence strategists).

It does not surprise me that Starmer-stein is morally corrupt, and the same goes for quite a few of his MPs (and the “Conservative” ones). What has slightly surprised me over several recent years (since about 2009, when I returned to live full-time in the UK) is how utterly clueless, totally ignorant, so many MPs are, including Cabinet ministers and, indeed, Prime Ministers (Starmer-stein, Liz Truss, Boris-idiot, Theresa May, Cameron-Levita, Sunak, even Gordon Brown).

[“I am never voting fake Labour again, you bastards!“]

Unsurprising. A party led by a Nigerian woman who is only here because her parents came to London for her birth (at that time, 1980, anyone born in the UK could later apply for a British passport). Kemi Badenoch is not really British at all. Until she was about 16-17, she had only been here for a day or two after her birth. She was brought up in Nigeria and then the USA. She is alien.

Apart from that, though, imagine a party (“Conservative” by name) which apparently intends to help Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, and Liz Kendall pass their social security/”welfare” cuts package, so cruel and unfeeling, and so unnecessary.

Huge amounts of money are wasted on all sorts of nonsense, such as the nuclear-weapons-carrying fighter-bombers the UK is apparently going to waste money buying from the USA. Do the cretins pretending to run this country really believe that Russia, as it now is, wants to invade Western Europe, even invade the UK? The idea is ludicrous.

Meanwhile, the only invasion that matters is continuing: 500-1,000 across the Channel most days now, with a further ~5,000 coming in “legally” as (supposedly) “high-skilled” workers (who never leave), spouses, fiancees, tourists (who never go back), “students” (who never go back) etc. Also, births to non-Europeans already here (about 1,600 births a day occur in the UK, of which the majority now are non-white). Call it a total of about 7,000. Every day…

People spend 13, often 16, sometimes as many as 20 years, in full-time education in this country, and most know FA. Truly radical change needed.

[“Israel’s plot to attack Iran hatched up to 15 years ago Israel had seeded target locations with “boots on the ground” long before June 13, an intelligence source told The Times.

The collected intel assisted Israel’s targeting of three nuclear sites in Tehran and Isfahan, including seven separate elements of the Natanz enrichment facility, and scores of other sites.

Israeli agents allegedly visited missile factories and workshops which Israel later targeted, including “the entire industry that supported” production of the conventional armaments.

Mossad possibly recruited “Iranian insiders,” the report hinted. Besides missile launches at Israel, a big component of Iran’s response to Israeli aggression has included hunting down Mossad agents, scores of whom have now been caught carrying improvised explosive devices, military-grade explosives, drones and even anti-tank missiles. Some agents have attempted suicide, while others engaged in dramatic, high-speed shootouts with police while attempting to get away.“]

As a John le Carre character reflected, intelligence work rests on patience and a kind of gentleness. Learn from the enemy and the potential enemy. Learn from history. MOSSAD, the KGB and GRU in their heyday, Chinese Intelligence, people such as Maurice Oldfield and Markus Wolf etc.

As for Israeli intelligence, remember what famous former MOSSAD operative Ostrovsky wrote, 36 years ago, i.e. that, in all countries where Jews exist, military and terror plans are in place, weapons and explosives secreted, to be used by selected Jews when the time comes. Look at the UK. Hundreds of young Jews go to Israel every year to be trained by the Israeli armed forces. They then return, most of them, to the UK, become journalists, editors, business parasites, City traders, whatever…but are also, some of them, agents or secret co-workers of MOSSAD, AMAN etc.

One thing is for sure: the American bombing of the nuclear bases or laboratories makes no immediate difference to the current Iran-Israel war, which is being fought at long-range using conventional weapons— missiles with high-explosive warheads, drones and, on the Israeli side, bombers and fighter-bombers. In the short-term, therefore, the matter will be decided by the side that can keep on delivering warheads onto significant targets.

There must be some way for Russia to eliminate that troublesome Khazar.

Talking point

Whatever the facts re. damage to those bases may be in reality, the overriding fact is that the actual war Iran-Israel will continue regardless.

The Israeli Jews (?) are out of control. Gaza is the obvious, but not the only, example.

If Iranian missile launches continue, will the Israelis, perhaps starting to run out of ground-to-air missiles, then prioritize the defence of Tel Aviv etc, moving missiles to those areas from perceivedly less important places? Hard to say at present.

“They” just hate it when the truth is expressed about their malign influence over UK/US (etc) politics.

New?

Very sonorous.

As said, that may or may not be true, but in any event will not change the basic dynamics of the Iran-Israel war that Israel, after all, started recently. All that matters is how many missiles each side has.

If Netanyahu was, for once, telling the truth when saying a day or two ago that Iran still has 27,000 missiles (some sources give figures as low as 2,000), many too advanced to be easily intercepted, and if it is also true (as many claim) that Israel is running out of anti-missile missiles, then those claimed 27,000 Iranian weapons will be able to reduce Tel Aviv and other urban areas in Israel/Occupied Palestine to rubble, akin to the devastation which the Israelis have wrought in Gaza.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jun/20/palestine-action-to-be-banned-after-vandalising-planes-at-raf-base

So Yvette Cooper, the would-be dictator, Labour Friends of Israel puppet, and expenses fraudster, currently posing as Home Secretary, will probably ban Palestine Action. Pretty silly.

For one thing, this seems to have been decided not because a couple of activists vandalized RAF planes by daubing graffiti, but because they have made the RAF, the woman “commander” of that base, SERCO (who apparently provided the outsourced and in fact non-existent “security”, no doubt at a high price), and the Government, look very very silly.

Had there been even one dozy military policeman on duty and doing his duty, the protesters could have been told to get lost, or been arrested before they got anywhere near those planes.

This was not “terrorism” but fairly standard protest of the “action directe” type. The action that makes sense would be to actually have proper security on Britain’s few remaining RAF bases, and not to label a small protest group “terrorist”; which will, in any case, only drive the situation underground, I should imagine.

In the 1930s, both the Soviet Union and National Socialist Germany allowed tourism, in the case of Germany free individual travel as well as group tours, in the Soviet Union mostly escorted and tightly-monitored group travel. Where they differed more was in the reverse situation: the German authorities were happy to let their citizens travel, knowing that few if any countries in the world would eclipse Germany under Hitler in terms of lifestyle, facilities etc. In the Soviet Union, of course, only the approved few were allowed out to tour foreign countries.

Only the European people, speaking ethnically, can provide that platform and foundation for the later development. That is why we must oppose importation of non-whites into Europe, not because we “hate” them as such but because, primarily, their presence in Europe makes more likely a mixed-race population, which would make further evolution impossible.”

Badgers would be there, unafraid of the car because they rarely saw one, and would mass ahead of the car, about ten at a time. I would have to wait until they deigned to move aside. Lovely creatures.

Tourism is dead, investment is dead, trade and commerce is all but dead, and Iran still has thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of missiles, and untold numbers of drones, while Israel is running out of defensive missiles, we are told.

A rare voice of sanity.

Madness. The governments of the EU states and UK do not care at all about the welfare of their own citizens.

Ha ha! Jews are quite funny (without meaning to be) a lot of the time. It’s always “all about them”, in any and all circumstances. For example, Israeli Jews destroying every single hospital in Gaza is simply war damage, and really the fault of those being bombed, but if a hospital in Israel as much as has its windows broken, it’s some kind of evil “holocaust” (and so on…).

A few hundred cowardly Jews with dual nationality leaving their own (supposed) beloved country because they wish to avoid all risk is apparently the same as the 1940 Dunkirk evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force (my own maternal grandfather having been one of those taken off the beaches then) facing possible annihilation; and with the 1940-41 London Blitz thrown in as well! No wonder so many Jews are comedians…

Having said that, I believe that the lady tweeter is herself at least partly Jewish, but not (not completely, anyway) pro-Israel.

There used to be a saying, something about (I forget which creatures) leaving the sinking ship…

Oh, dear…what a pity… and only yesterday or the day before, I read that the shares on that stock exchange were rising fast, after Israel’s sneak attack on Iran. Life is so unexpected…

…and once the Israelis run out of ground-to-air missiles, Tel Aviv and other target areas will be almost undefended, and will be ground down (as Gaza has been), assuming that the Iranian missile barrages continue. According to the US/UK msm, that might be as early as one week from now.

So much for “Tel Aviv, the high-tech city with the booming economy“…It might soon be little more than a hole in the ground.

The Israelis hide weapons in hospitals, it seems, just as (they claim) Hamas did in Gaza.

“They” are a force for destruction, wherever they are.

People are always saying how wonderfully talented Fry is. I cannot see it, for all his fame, acting career etc. In Jeeves and Wooster, that wonderful adaptation of P.G. Wodehouse, Fry was admittedly very good as Jeeves, but Hugh Laurie was the star, really. In Gosford Park, Fry’s police inspector ruined, in my view, the atmosphere, by importing a kind of cheap comedy into the film. As for his film about Oscar Wilde, it was nowhere as good (or as historically accurate) as the 1960 film starring Peter Finch, The Trials of Oscar Wilde. Fry’s version (if I recall it aright— I have seen it, though long ago) almost completely expunged Wilde’s heterosexual side [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Wilde#London_life_and_marriage], and said little about Wilde’s life or views outside of Wilde’s obsession with Lord Alfred Douglas and various disreputable youths.

I knew a barrister who met Fry at a wedding, and said that he, the barrister, had been quite shocked at how “left-wing” (a term I myself rarely if ever use) Fry was. Said barrister was himself Labour, though of the John Smith “centrist” (?) tendency. Where Fry’s true sympathies lie is disputed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Fry. I am unsure whether he really has what might be called an ideology. He is, of course, half-Jewish.

Iran’s most deadly missiles may not be capable of interception.

It may be (speculating wildly, so be it) that the Iranians, often though not always noted for their subtlety, have been using their “pawns” (drones and slower missiles) as sacrificial pawns (as in chess), with the idea of exhausting the Israeli supply of ground-to-air defensive missiles. Then, when the Israelis run out of countermeasures such as Iron Dome and Arrow missiles, the Iranians will launch the real stuff…

That occurs to me as I recall the arguably most famous game of the Soviet chess grandmaster Mikhail Tal (a Jew, incidentally), who sacrificed almost every piece he had on the board, even his queen, in order to deliver the final brilliant and inescapable line of moves that led to checkmate (via a minor piece, at that). I think that that game was in 1968 or thereabouts.

Ah. Got it: “Tal vs. Vasily Smyslov, Yugoslavia Candidates’ Tournament 1959, Caro–Kann Defence (B10), 1–0.[33] A daring piece sacrifice to win a brilliancy prize“: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Tal. As I thought, it was against Smyslov.

Looks like my memory is still OK (though I got the date wrong)…

Chess is a rather comforting game. If I have leisure and time, and am not too occupied elsewhere, I should take it up again.

At last…

(of course, the Israelis may have secret back-up facilities elsewhere).
