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.
It’s almost ghoulish watching. That Labour are rallying around Reeves because she is a woman and had become visibly upset during PMQs is truly depressing. She holds the 2nd highest office in the Country for goodness sake.

Goodwin seems to have been “on a journey”, ideologically. Perhaps that journey has not yet arrived at its final destination.
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?
Russian troops liberated two communities in the Kharkov Region and the Donetsk People’s Republic over the past day in the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported:https://t.co/hV7KAUzb5Qpic.twitter.com/VUnH0YuxVC
The Ukraine conflict has reached a critical turning point amid the Russian army's advance on the battlefield and the US decision to suspend supplies of interceptor missiles to Kiev, The Washington Post reported:https://t.co/3eHPH2QSdEpic.twitter.com/wC3wwpxttP
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.
“Several people were injured after a man wielding an axe attacked passengers on a busy train in Germany today.
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.”
Out of 150,000+ tweets and retweets posted over a number of years, and about 100 complained of by those Jews, a mere 7 (SEVEN!) were thought to be “grossly offensive” by the BSB and so formed the basis for the quasi-trial (Bar Disciplinary Tribunal hearing) in October 2016.
In fact, the allegedly offensive tweets were reduced in number at hearing to only 5 (FIVE). Out of 150,000+…Over 6 years of Twitter membership.
My point here is other, to wit that my tweets, all general comments about society and politics, were true in all particulars. One, at which the Tribunal took particular offence, was that Michael Gove [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gove] was “a pro-Israel, pro-Jew expenses cheat“. That was deemed “grossly offensive” despite the fact that the facts alleged by me were, in fact, facts.
In other words, I was condemned for having tweeted the truth. Where is the greater offence, the crimes or defaults of a politician, or the tweets posted and which commented on those defaults?
I might add that, in 2016, the general public was not aware (neither was I) that snivelling Jewish-lobby puppet Gove was (is?) also a regular cocaine abuser.
The other four tweets which sank me at Tribunal were also all true…
Truth is often no defence in the public-private politically correct and Zionist-dominated police state of 2020 Britain.

If truth be known, both The NHS and the Ambulance Service have been "in crisis" for years, mainly because they are so badly run. All credit to the staff for doing as well as they do with such diabolical management and stupid targets.
In your humble opinion @tonyfle14111958 I enjoy your bilious, single minded hatred of me, but give thanks, as I do so, for the remaining vestiges of the rule of law. https://t.co/VIb6SAMO1j

I agree about the insurance @cancelledxxx, and would say the same for car drivers, increasing numbers of whom are untaxed, unlicensed and uninsured. Not to mention drunk, drugged or texting. Time to restore police traffic patrols. https://t.co/uLZVgN3MHo
2/2 @janeycmj Riding a bike is dangerous, But forcing riders to wear feeble styrofoam bowls on their heads is not the solution. Enforcing the laws against texting while driving, or driving while drunk or drugged, would save far more lives, cyclists included. No sign of that. https://t.co/Ff1AgVObRL
Thank you @chrisadelaide. I suspect I ride much more slowly than you. One interesting statistic is the *tiny* number of fatalities so far among users of the (slow and heavy) London hire bikes, despite tangling with London traffic. https://t.co/pGQdhDyxNf
Bicycle riders are a nuisance, especially in the semi-rural English coastal area where I live; dark clothing, often no lights, usually no street lighting. Having said that, car drivers are often very negligent too.
My own niece, an Australian citizen working temporarily in West London, was knocked off her pushbike early in the year, and was lucky not to have been badly injured. The “accident” happened at an intersection where she had the right of way. The driver briefly stopped , then sped off. The police (who could have seized cctv evidence from nearby businesses, but did not), were useless. The hit-and-run driver, probably a non-European, has never been traced, identified, or punished.
I agree with Hitchens on the liberty point (not to have to wear helmets) but it is true that many have lost their lives by reason of not having been wearing helmets.
Ig told me that his nephew had suddenly fallen down at home (in the Caversham Park suburb close to the monitoring station; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caversham_Park_Village); he later died. Ig was (unwarrantedly) suspicious of the nephew’s girlfriend, with whom the deceased had recently had a child; mother and baby also lived in the house.
Ig seemed to think that the young woman, a Ukrainian in her twenties, might have had a drunken argument with the nephew, and hit him with something. There had been a head injury, but the police were not treating it as suspicious.
Having heard of the deceased nephew (and having once briefly met him in London, several years before these events), I was aware that he was a fairly heavy drinker. On the night of the death he had apparently taken a fairly considerable amount of drink at the bar within the monitoring centre.
Anyway, I attended the inquest held in Reading, though only as observer (I was at the time not yet Called to the Bar). Ig had instructed Counsel, a fairly confident young woman whose name escapes me but who made a career at the Bar (I used to see her around the Inns in later years).
The inquest was a rather sad waste of time, as many are. The trail seemed to have gone cold.
However, some weeks after that, the report of the inquest, printed in the local newspaper, brought forth a bus driver who declared that he had been driving his bus one evening when a cyclist, not stopping where a cycle path met the road, and the man not wearing a helmet, had shot across in front of the bus, which had stopped short; the cyclist had, despite not having been struck, fallen off onto the road. He had been helped up, and had continued on his way, obviously somewhat the worse for drink.
So there it was. No espionage connection, no drunken domestic argument and assault, just a somewhat intoxicated man who fell off a pushbike and was not wearing a safety helmet. His choice, his accident, his death.
3/3 @ianguth07700494 Unthinking claims in favour of helmets could be used to impose a helmet law, which would greatly reduce cycling and so diminish its huge health benefits to those who decide not to bother if such laws are introduced. https://t.co/xfjHy6mbs1

Had two relatively rare pleasures, one being traditional fish and chips, the other being a glass or so of Royal Tokay. The fish and chips was the first I had had for months, the Tokay (5 putts.) the first for at least 10 years. Both very pleasant.
At the same time, I saw University Challenge, another alumni match (Durham and Downing College, Cambridge). As on previous occasions, I did better than both teams. In a sense, that pleases me, but in another sense it displeases me (that highly-paid and respected broadcasters, scribblers and others are so damned ignorant in this country!).

BBC World Service
Woke up to some interminable BBC World Service Outlook programme, based around a black girl with sickle cell anaemia. Next up was something called Witness History, which might have been better entitled Witless History. Basically, more anti-white, anti-European propaganda, this time based around the history of UNESCO, and featuring an angry, shouting UN career “diplomat” from Senegal.
The World Service continues to be very poor.

This blog
Blogging, like tweeting, is mainly a waste of time and effort. Maybe 99% a waste (the blog; tweeting, 99.9%!)). I blog and will continue to do so, not because of that 99%, but because of the 1%.
“In your nothing I hope to find my everything” [Goethe, Faust; Faust to Mephistopheles]
Ukraine
As Peter Hitchens has written, Ukraine has been at the centre of many of the conflicts of the past century. Bolshevism, the White Guard, the Russian Civil War, Collectivization, Lebensraum, the war of 1941-45 etc.
During the Second World War, many Ukrainians supported the German invasion, as they had the German anti-Bolshevik occupation after the First World War.
Now we have a situation which has developed from that where the old Soviet Union collapsed and, understandably, after 70 years of Sovietism and/or war, many Ukrainians felt that they would be better off independent of Russia, an aim of many since the 19th Century.
Sadly, many of the hopes of the Ukrainians were dashed in the 1990s and thereafter. Corruption, poverty, gangsterism, and a wave of Jewish carpetbaggers arriving from the USA and elsewhere. I even saw that some Jewess from Maida Vale (the area of London where I spent most time over the years) had bought a confectionery factory there!
Now, Ukraine’s President, Prime Minister, and other top figures are Jews! One is even a Israeli citizen!
Ukraine was the germ of Russia itself. The Vikings, or “Varangians” as they are known in Russia, sailed down the great rivers of that part of the world (Don, Dniepr, Volga etc) and founded Kievan Rus, which is where Russia began, along with Novgorod: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27.
[Nikolai Roerich: Guests from Overseas]
Ukraine and Russia have always developed together. Not always in great harmony, but always together. That partnership is now fragile and under attack.
The Crimea was placed administratively under the control of the Soviet republic of Ukraine in 1954: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea. The population, though, is mainly Russian (65%; Ukrainians 15%; Crimean Tartars 10%; others 10%).
The Russian reassertion of sovereignty in 2014 was opposed by “the West” (NWO), which since then has completely taken over “independent” Ukraine and is building a great naval base on territory controlled by the Kiev government.
As Peter Hitchens says, these “NATO” (NWO) incursions are a direct threat to Russia, to its integrity and future. As Hitchens notes, imagine what would happen if the Russians did something similar in the Gulf of Mexico…
We may be looking here at the genesis of World War Three. At the same time, “NATO” forces are engaged in military exercises both in Ukraine and in the Baltic states.
Without Ukraine at least as neutral, Russia, as a near-superpower, is no longer in existence. Indeed, it would be not very viable, long-term, as a state at all, especially looking at the slow infiltration of Chinese influence in the Eastern part of Siberia (the former Soviet Far East).
[“Russia does not have borders; it is wherever there are Russian people”]
Russia may be relatively poor compared to the USA and the EU, but it has both nuclear and non-nuclear forces which can match the “West”. Yes, the USA can destroy Russian cities and bases ten times over, and it is not known for sure whether the Russians can destroy the similar American targets ten times over, five times, or only once! Is there any difference?
In fact, were, say, New York, Washington DC, Seattle, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Boston to be destroyed, would the USA even be able to function? Would it take 10 years to recover? 50? 100?
Population replacement isn't simply about changing the skin colour of the West; it's about downgrading the intelligence, aspirations, values and morality of the people. It's about rewriting the entire history of a civilisation for the benefit of a tiny, hostile clique.#ProWhite
All it takes is a couple far left activists to lie about you online and even a 'conservative' bank who also gets called the same names, will fold. Pathetic. There isn't one corporation with a backbone in this country.
A very important tweet. Had I the money, I would buy a country estate. I notice, incidentally, that the supply of such estates in the UK has lessened in the past couple of years. The wealthy are trying to buy lifeboats…

Either these hospitals were a great and necessary achievement in April, or they were not. Either our normal hospitals now face so much overload that they are still needed, or they do not. What is the truth? https://t.co/JFc4POlfRi
Self-imagined hardman Hancock poses at a much-publicised Nightingale Hospital at the beginning of our State of Siege in the Spring (it was barely used then). Now, despite a supposedly deadly second wave, this costly, vaunted facility has been dismantled. Have we been had? https://t.co/5Vnv1Mdr0I
Quite. I thought, earlier in 2020, that to create new hospitals was a great achievement even bearing in mind their limited aims and equipment etc, but now I wonder whether those “Nightingale Hospitals” were just part of a propaganda “big lie”…
Just as the most enthusiastic supporters of mass media and social media censorship now are those who, in the past, would have fought for liberty: journalists, MPs, published authors etc.
The Jewish influence in society (and especially in the mass media and the legal profession) is a large part of all this.
Even Sky News just admitted that UK hospitals this winter have fewer patients than any of the last 5 winters. Covid has replaced flu (not least because the tests cannot differentiate) & staff shortages are being made worse by self-isolation rules, but there is no #CoronaCrisis.
Lest we forget: '[We thought] we couldn't get away with it in Europe' are strange and disturbing words for a public servant to use . https://t.co/2kaqGZsvID
The tsunami of debt and destitution coming our way as a result of lockdowns will ultimately reveal the futility of attempting to legislate against a seasonal respiratory virus.
