Range said to be around 1,000 miles. If that increases, with another missile type, to 6,000 miles, the Americans can start to worry.

I think that Israel decided some time ago to clear the Gaza enclave of its population, in order to plant Jewish towns there. Pure genocide, surely, whatever legal quibbles Jew-Zionist lawyers may make. Lebensraum…
When will the American dog stop allowing the Israeli tail to wag that American dog?
Impact of Trump's Tariff Trade War on Reducing US Economic Dependence on China
According to Bloomberg research, since the start of Trump's trade war with tariffs against China, China's share of US imports has fallen by 40% from 22% to 14% between 2018 and 2024.
Even GE 2024 Labour voters do not trust Labour. Only 45% think that Labour can be trusted to fulfil whatever it has promised!
I am thinking that a goodly proportion of Labour voters at GE 2024 were only Labour voters because that seemed the best way of kicking out the Conservative Party at the time.
As to the GE 2024 Reform UK voters, 76% of them think that Reform can be trusted. That, of course, has never been put to the test, because Reform has never had any political power.
Digging slightly deeper, 76% of GE 2024 Conservative voters think that the Con Party can be trusted (to my mind, remarkable, looking at the 14 years of lies, incompetence, mass migration invasion etc that preceded GE 2024). Well, in any event, of those who voted, only <24% voted Conservative, and only three-quarters of those now trust the party for which they voted. I imagine that most of those still on board are elderly or very elderly.
Labour is in a worse position yet. Of those who voted at GE 2024, only 33% voted Labour, and less than half of those voters now trust Labour (very understandably).

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
All involved with “Ukraine” (the brutal, corrupt, shambolic regime of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev)…

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.

Worth looking at.
There is one factor which dominates in the UK, which is the fact that “nothing works properly any more“. I started noting it on the blog years ago, and noticed (after a couple of years) some msm outlets saying the same.
Part of the decline in services and standards is, of course, caused by the migration invasion, meaning both the strain put on all services and facilities by the extra numbers and the nature (i.e. poor quality) of those entering the UK.
Then there is the decline in real education (not meaningless “degree” diplomas handed out like confetti).
The repression on free speech is another major factor.
The box-ticking culture in administration as well, combined with the “Common Purpose” and allied cancers.
When Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP took power, they were initially voted for, in 1932, by 33% of the people, which grew to 44% in 1933, yet the NSDAP vote had been only 2.6% in 1928. Quite an upsurge in only 4-5 years.
The reasons given for the upsurge in support for the NSDAP have been examined by many. The Great Depression in the USA, which spread around the world, was of course key.
The Jewish influence too, but that, after all, had existed for a long time in Germany, and had been especially prevalent after the defeat of 1918. The NSDAP had spoken against it for over a decade without, at first, having gained much traction.
There were other factors as well, but I think that what clinched Hitler’s triumph was the perception that things generally, in all areas, were not working properly.
The same was obviously true in the Russian Empire in 1917, after at least two lost wars, and with the ruling cliques of the Empire mired in corruption and scandal. Russia as a state was not working for the people in any way whatsoever.
Reverting to the UK in 2024, not so dramatic, true, but there has been a slow-motion train crash going on for the past ~25 years. It becomes hard to ignore the fact that the UK, in many ways, is now ceasing to work properly.
Government must, above all else, function.
Deadhead MPs and ministers, repression on free speech, official policies seemingly designed not to work (mass immigration, migration invasion, energy, foreign policy, NHS, social security etc), and the fact that ordinary everyday life becomes a tangled mess by reason of the pointless hoops that have to be jumped through: you name it— NHS appointments, and medical care in general; parking a car; getting through to anyone who can help with any given problem, whether at commercial enterprises, in local government, central government, or wherever.
The UK’s voters are tiring of the existing mess, and may be inclined to clutch at the Reform UK straw, in the short-to-medium term, but later, after 2029, may support a truly radical social-national alternative, which may exist by then.
If not, then “le deluge“… It will then be a matter of taking to the lifeboats.
There emerges an uneasy feeling that our present world system is not going to be around for much longer, the way things are internationally.
“Daria Platonova Dugina — A Theory of Europe: A View of the New Right.
In a world increasingly levelled by homogenisation, Daria Platonova Dugina retrieves the vibrancy of European culture by delving into the intellectual renaissance of the French New Right.
Exploring the pioneering work of figures like Alain de Benoist and Guillaume Faye, Dugina traces their groundbreaking and provocative reimagining of identity, tradition, and belonging, where the spirit of ideas transcends the conventional boundaries of Left and Right.
Through a “Gramscianism from the Right” approach, she analyses how the New Right’s critique of universalist ideologies and its visions of civilisational revival present a cultural counter-hegemony that values rootedness and organic community over the globalist paradigm.
In this unique collection of lectures, essays, and interviews, Dugina highlights the complex intersections of New Right thought with currents like National Bolshevism and Eurasianism, investigating the philosophical and geopolitical frontlines of the fracturing world order.
Dugina takes readers on a far-reaching journey beyond the standard ideological spectrum, inviting a deeper understanding of identity politics in the contemporary age.
Here, philosophy meets praxis, inspiring those searching for alternatives in today’s monotone world to revisit the foundations and peaks of Europe’s intellectual heritage.
Daria ‘Platonova’ Dugina (1992–2022) was a Russian philosopher, political analyst, journalist, and artist. Dugina studied philosophy at Moscow State University and Bordeaux Montaigne University, specialising in Plato and Neoplatonism. The daughter of Alexander Dugin, she was an active member of the International Eurasian Movement and collaborated with the French New Right. Her life was tragically cut short by a car bomb on the night of 20 August 2022.“
Not that I think highly of everything Dugin himself says or writes. His views are sometimes risibly simplistic, even puerile. Certainly not always, but sometimes, especially when it comes down to concrete realities and facts.

That jews, muslims, and christians lived side by side in peace in Palestine before the Rothschilds purchased the country from Britain during WW1 (see the Balfour declaration) and began their colonial program.
That the groups that founded Israel, Lehi, Irgun, and Hagannah, were declared terrorist organizations by Israel itself because their tactics were so deplorable (bombing British and Palestinian civilians) yet these three ‘paramilitary’ groups rebranded to form the IDF and their leadership became the leadership of Israel for the following thirty plus years.
That Israel is a foreign nation halfway across the world that has no business receiving my tax dollars. Why are we sending them billions of dollars of our tax money while our country burns, is overrun by illegal immigration, etc?
We are told Israel is our ‘greatest ally’ so why would they have had a massive spy network targeting US government agencies leading up to sep 11, 2001 – see the Israeli art students DEA report for copious evidence of Israeli surveillance all across the continental US.
This is an official government report that cites hundreds of incidents of observed Israeli surveillance teams documented by US government agents all across the continental US. And we still have received 0 answers why there were numerous fake Israeli moving companies positioned all across the eastern seaboard leading into September 11, 2001 and we have multiple eye witness reports, as well as hard photographic evidence that they knew the attacks were coming at least a day before they did and that they were positioned at a vantage point to photograph the attack up to a half hour before the first plane hit. Never got any answers- but you can read the official FBI reports about the incident. I’ve broken them down live on X before.
That’s just a small list of some of the best documented reasons why I, as an American, dont want Israel receiving any of my tax dollars. And I didn’t even mention my obvious objections to the collective punishment, mass surveillance, forced starvation, bombing of refugee camps, brutal murdering of women and children that’s been going on in Gaza and the West Bank for years, decades- which you can watch in graphic detail right here on X.
And that’s not to mention that somehow we let congress pass laws outlawing ‘antisemitic’ speech, despite our own first amendment. And we have anti-boycott legislation in multiple states, despite the fact that it’s perfectly legal to boycott American companies… just not Israeli ones.
Every content creator knows the fastest way to get demonetized, banned, and slandered is to be critical of Israel. I figured you would have realized this too after what they did to you and tried to do to X last year.”

Very sad. Mainly caused by mass immigration. That, and profiteering by both farmers (selling land— look at the report; ONE FIELD sold for £38M!) and housebuilding companies.
As for housebuilders building tracts of housing and then refusing to adhere to agreements guaranteeing services (roads, parks, shops etc), if they do that, their precious “developments” should be blown up by the State, then rewilded; the companies should also be fined, very heavily. The directors should then be put to hard labour.
I used to spend occasional weekends at Sopwell House, which is walking distance from St. Albans. That was back in the early/mid 1990s, 30 years ago (incredible, to me).
Britain is slowly (?) becoming a multikulti slum where nothing works, and from where every English/white person wants to escape, either to the relatively few areas of the country unaffected by the spreading floods of ghastly ugly new housing —and immigration—, or overseas. Somewhere. Anywhere.

After what the Israeli Jews, and their many Jewish supporters in the West, have been doing and/or supporting, no-one wants to listen any more to their nearly 100-year-old whining about Adolf Hitler, Germany, the NSDAP, the SS, or the endless “holocaust” stories, many of which are untrue anyway.

Incidentally, the more I think about his (2020) “near-death” from (supposedly) the “Covid” virus, the Iess I believe it, and the more I think that it was probably an “am-dram” performance, designed to frighten the public; amateur theatricals, similar to his caricature aping of Churchill’s mannerisms, speech, gait etc.
“The German government was left on the brink of collapse after the chancellor, Olaf Scholz, unexpectedly sacked his finance minister, plunging Europe’s largest economy into political disarray.

I could suggest something about certain parts of London (mostly North and North-West), but in view of the fact that free speech in the UK is all but dead (by reason of the activities of “a certain tribe”), I think that, today at least, I prefer to keep my views to myself.
Russia only wants Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper river) and the coastline across to and including Odessa.
Historically, what is now Western Ukraine (based on Lvov) has made several different rulerships, including both Russia and Austria-Hungary.
While Putin would probably prefer to take all of Ukraine, I think that he would accept a peace agreement with a Lvov-based rump Ukraine willing to be neutral in future. That used to be called, from 1945 to 2023, “Finlandization”, and worked quite well for everyone until, quite recently, the Finnish government went mad and joined NATO.
That is a good thing. America is at its best when it is isolationist.
October Revolution
7 November (in the Gregorian calendar) is the day on which, in the Soviet Union, was set aside to commemorate the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917 (old-style, Julian calendar).
There were always parades in Moscow. I recall watching Soviet TV news in the old Channel 4 newsroom (then in the old ITN building in Wells Street, near Oxford Street) as a kind of guest, in 1984.
40 years ago, almost half a lifetime.
I recall it mainly because of the excellent picture quality on the satellite link; also because I had come directly from a tough afternoon taekwando session taught by a candidate-competitor black-belt destined for the 1988 Seoul Olympics (I don’t know whether he eventually went, though).
It was interesting to see people normally seen by me only on TV broadcasts. Peter Sissons, for one [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sissons]. I remember how surprised I was that he seemed rather fat when encountered in person.
When the Bolsheviks seized power from the Kerensky government in 1917, a tide of anger and unrest poured across, first Russia, then the rest of the world.
The history of the 20th Century was, to a large extent, the outcome of the fight against, or for Sovietism. The rise of National Socialism was also, to a large extent, the result of Bolshevism and the struggle to resist it. An Abwehr or “parrying”.
Even after the events of the Second World War, the subsequent “peace” revolved around the need in the West to “parry” Sovietism— the Yalta and other agreements, the Cold War, the “Finlandization” not only of Finland itself but also of Austria and Yugoslavia. The taking out of Central Europe, and the reduction of Europe into East and West.
Of course, Sovietism itself changed too, internally: Bolshevism and Leninism became Stalinism (with Trotskyist offshoots overseas), then post-Stalinist Sovietism under Khrushchev and his successors.
International revolution against finance-capitalist reaction became big-power and then superpower rivalry.
By the time I watched that 1984 TV news broadcast, the Cold War was still going strong, superficially, but the Soviet Union had only 5 years left. (Officially, the Soviet Union lasted until 1991, but it was dead by late 1989). It did not necessarily seem so at the time. The Dzerzhinsky Regiment (MVD troops) led that parade (the bit I saw), and the Soviet power still gave the impression of being fearsome. However, as a character notes in one of my favourite films, The Russia House, adaptation of a John le Carre novel, the Soviet knight was dying inside his armour.
Now we are in a rather different world. Still, after a 1989-2022 gap, the superpower rivalry is again there (if it ever went away), but this time as a conflation of a rump-Sovietism with a Great-Russian nationalism, bumping horns against an expansionist NATO led and ruled over by a USA which is, in effect, NWO/ZOG (New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government).
Where now? The front-lines of the conflict are in Ukraine (which the Western power wants to subsume into its sphere of influence) and, to a lesser extent, the Middle East.
Europe needs a new direction. So does Russia. The answer must be a Eurasian ethno-state, Europe joining loosely with Russia against the areas of the world which are comprised of peoples, in very broad terms, now the enemies of positive evolution.

“A woman has been left with ‘mobility issues’ after being assaulted at an East London railway station. Police are now hunting for a man in relation to the incident.“
“A man will be locked up for eight years after killing a man outside a London Underground station.
Gabriel Silvera, 20, pleaded guilty to manslaughter after the incident outside Burnt Oak Tube station in Edgware. Silvera, of Uxbridge Road, Pinner, was sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Thursday, October 31, to eight years imprisonment, plus a further four years on licence.“

I should not want to live or work in London (as I once did), let alone wearing a Rolex (as I used to do).
ps: to any thieves reading this— my Rolex watches are now long gone, (sold to make ends meet), and I no longer bother to wear a watch at all.
Even at a considerable distance (thank God), one can sense the “diversity”…
The Israelis obviously intend to demolish the whole of Gaza, kill or drive out the Arab population, then resettle Gaza with Jews. A kind of smaller-scale copy of what they did in the 1948 “Nakba“, i.e. ethnic cleansing and theft of land. After that, settlement by Jews.
As predicted for the past 1-2 years on the blog, the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder. Sometime soon, probably in summer 2025, the whole circus will run out of road, the front(s) will collapse, and all of Eastern Ukraine will be abandoned to Russian forces.

I keep seeing stories on msm platforms such as various newspapers, such as Sky News etc, telling of how someone or other (e.g. “young mum with two children“), someone actually British, is homeless, cannot even get secure (if inadequate) temporary accommodation; and that is all very enraging for many (including me).
Few, however, in the msm or in the ranks of the Labour Party pseudo-socialists (or have Labour partisans now given up even pretending to be “socialist” in any real sense?) openly link the housing crisis or homelessness crisis with the migration invasion (not just the “small boats” but the whole invasion). Between half a million and over a million every single year.
Rachel Reeves and the rest of Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel cabal (posing as a legitimate government) want to build hundreds of thousands of hutches on England’s once green and pleasant land. Most will be going to non-whites. Fact. Will any go to the real British homeless? I doubt it. Already, the migrant-invaders (even the “small boat” invaders) are being prioritized before real British people.
Britain needs a social-national revolution.
Stray thoughts about the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election
I do not know who will win. At present it looks quite open, though Kamala Harris is, more than Trump, looking like the favourite.
For me, it is almost incredible that anyone could vote for a semi-educated and non-white woman such as Kamala Harris, even as compared to a man such as Donald Trump, with all his flaws.
However, one always has to consider the very low level of education and culture among the vast bulk of Americans. Also, the unbelievably naive and simplistic motivations for voting. I saw some silly old woman on TV news a couple of days ago, seriously (in her own little mind) saying that she had never voted before, but was going to vote for Kamala Harris because…Kamala Harris is a woman. That old woman voter is not alone. There are millions, maybe tens of millions, who will vote for Kamala Harris purely on the basis of her sex.
Likewise, it can be surmised that there are further tens of millions, almost all non-white, who will vote for Kamala Harris because she is non-white. We saw that during the Obama campaign of 2008, in which Obama, despite being half-European by racial background, was always described as “black”; later, too, as “the first black President“, not “the first mixed-race President”…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#Early_life_and_career].
So the dice are loaded against Trump, though no doubt some will also vote for Trump because he is a white man. As Jack London said, “I am a socialist, but a white man first“…
I should prefer a Trump win, but mainly, if not entirely, because Trump would, I hope, stop the war in Ukraine by —I hope— cutting off arms, ammunition, money, and intelligence assistance to the Kiev regime.

Same thing in the US, where "the most important election of our lifetime" is playing out without a single person on either side using the words "lockdown", "Covid" or "vaccines".
They really think they can pretend none of it happened.
Just as the msm constantly brings up heartrending stories about homeless people, young couples unable to buy a house even with a mortgage (which are often unavailable anyway) without once mentioning the fact that the UK is experiencing a migration-invasion— not just the “small boats”, either. 500,000-1,000,000 a year.
[except for “4 million”, substitute “15-20 million”..]
“The UK Government, urged on by Labour and almost all the media, spent £450,000,000,000 on Lockdowns with worse results than Sweden. This could have been invested in :- 18 nuclear power plants OR 60 Aircraft Carriers or 1,285 Hospitals or 15,000 Universities or 15,000 Secondary schools or £793,218 for every teacher in the UK or £73,770 to everyone claiming Universal Credit in the UK £35,714 for every pensioner in the UK.
I could go on, but it is absolutely clear that the lockdown response has totally wrecked this country, and this is before you factor in the cost of living caused by lockdowns.
On top of that, we have a generation of children damaged emotionally, socially, mentally and physically by lockdowns, huge chunks of their lives torn from them, sacrificed on the altar of a nonsensical and unscientific public policy disaster.
We will be paying for this for years, if not decades. The politicians and, their media lackeys, the civil service and the rest of the establishment who pushed for lockdowns need to be held accountable.”
Many, perhaps most, people just prefer, maybe subsconsciously, lies (if easier on the mind) to uncomfortable truths.
For many, it is the same when it comes to mass immigration and/or migration-invasion.

The possible/probable all-out war, if and when it happens, will be very negative for all the people of the region.
One silver lining, though, is that, while US attention is focussed on the Middle East, Russian forces can continue to degrade the infrastructure of the Kiev regime, and press forward in Donetsk and elsewhere within the Ukrainian/Russian theatre.

Few now remember Cornfeld, or his vehicle, Investors’ Overseas Services, but it had a high profile in the late 1960s and very early 1970s. I myself recall seeing ads for it in the Daily Telegraph colour magazine in, I think, 1970.
Incidentally, those British newspapers’ colour magazines of the early 1970s were on a different level of quality vis a vis the weekend supplements seen today; that applied especially to the Daily Telegraph one, which I think came out on Fridays. Real reportage on matters of importance and/or interest, not recipes, makeup, gossip, chick-lit and similar rubbish.

“Argentina’s poverty rate has soared to almost 53% in the first six months of Javier Milei’s presidency, offering the first hard evidence of how the far-right libertarian’s tough austerity measures are hitting the population.
Since taking office in December, the self-described “anarcho-capitalist” – who campaigned with a chainsaw in hand to symbolise the cuts he would make – has slashed public spending in an effort to tame chronic inflation and eliminate the budget deficit.
His administration has frozen pensions, reduced aid to soup kitchens, cut welfare programmes and stopped all public works projects. Tens of thousands of public employees have been fired, reduced energy and transportation subsidies have pushed costs up, and purchasing power has eroded.
Kirsten Sehnbruch, an expert on Latin America at the London School of Economics and Political Science, said she had never seen such a large jump in poverty rates. “This new economic programme is not protecting the poor,” she said. “The jump is absolutely horrendous.”
Milei’s cuts, however, have been cheered by markets, investors and the International Monetary Fund, to which Argentina owes $43bn. Monthly inflation has also decreased from about 26% in December to about 4% in June, where it has remained, although annual inflation still remains one of the highest in the world, exceeding 230%.
María Claudia Albornoz, a community worker from Santa Fe, said the government had “provoked a situation of desperation”. “We are feeling it in the fridge, empty and unplugged. Money is really worth absolutely nothing. We have three jobs and it is not enough,” she said.
While Milei’s popularity ratings have remained high, public support now appears to be waning. A survey published on Monday found a drop of almost 15% in September, the steepest fall during his nine-month administration. Recent polls have found that worries about inflation have been overtaken by fears of job loss and poverty.
Christopher Sabatini, a senior fellow for Latin America at Chatham House, said that economic decline was inevitable when controlling inflation, and pointed to similar historic crises in Brazil and Bolivia, but questioned whether Milei’s changes will work.
“For a county that has historically prided itself on being a middle-class nation, this poverty rate is terribly painful,” Sabatini said.“

Your former client – the one who is still alive – is vulnerable. He and I need some explanation as to why you insisted I give you huge sums of money to settle my claim.“
This will probably end up with the egregious Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, and/or his colleagues, having to settle a professional negligence claim.

Where Goodwin goes wrong is in failing to see that only some form or forms of social nationalism can save Europe as anything much more than a geographic space inhabited mainly (after about 2100, possibly before then) by non-Europeans.
Goodwin is also entirely in consonance with the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby. That means that he gets an easy ride from the mass media, but also means that he has hitched his wagon to the “controlled opposition” populists such as Reform UK. They cannot appeal to the bulk of the people, but can only hoover up votes from disenchanted people who were, mostly, Conservative Party supporters until recently. Some were also Labour voters, true, but not so many. Maybe —at peak— 20% of the electorate.

“I’m less worried about Lewis’ slips with the date and the grammar, and more worried about his grasp of the law! It seems Lewis thinks when that when you sue for libel, you are not entitled to an undertaking from the defendant saying they won’t further publish the libel because it is you that has put the libel in the public domain.
So if you don’t sue for an undertaking/injunction, they can further publish. And, er, if you do sue for an undertaking/injunction, there’s no need for one because you’ve put the libel in the public domain. No doubt libel lawyers will be scratching their heads at this.”
Ha. The fact is that, for all his brief “celebrity” about 10-12 years ago, Lewis is not much of a lawyer, in my opinion. That is even if we leave aside Lewis’s own admission, before the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018, that at times he had no idea what he was saying, writing, or doing (by reason of his intake of prescription drugs).
Solicitors Regulation Authority principle 7 states a solicitor must “act in the best interests of each client”.
1. In Nov 2021 I suggested a nominal (say £5) settlement with Mr Cantor.
2. Mr Lewis rejected it in principle, apparently on Mr Cantor’s instructions.
3. Mr Cantor now says Mr Lewis said the only way to get a zero money settlement was to ask me for £5k.
4. Because I could never offer Mr Cantor anything better than a nominal settlement, and that was explicitly rejected by Mr Lewis, Mr Cantor lost at trial and is likely to lose his home. What was going on here?“
This is far from having been the first time that “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (his old Twitter/X name, now supplanted by “@MLewisLawyer”) has acted entirely unprofessionally, but up until now the fanatical and semi-loonie Lewis has managed to wriggle out of professional sanction, except in 2018, when the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal fined and censured him for having tweeted violently-abusive things on social media.
Even then, supportive Jews stumped up, via a crowdfunder, the £12,500 penalty (being a fine plus costs). Lewis’s fine itself (£2,500) had been reduced by two-thirds because he had effectively no money. His own Counsel said to the Tribunal that Lewis had not only been affected mentally by his (prescription) drug intake, but that “his only assets” consisted of his own clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week.
Lewis’s honesty, as well as his competence, has been in question for many many years.
In the Wilson case, should the recent defendant, Cantor, wish to have reduced his liability for the costs of the successful Claimant (Wilson), he has (it seems) little choice but to go after Lewis. Should Lewis have no or not sufficient means to satisfy the costs, then I suppose that Cantor’s remedy would be, in principle, to go after Lewis’s legal partners in the law firm to which he is now attached, Patron Law.
It will be interesting to see what eventually happens. Unfortunately, the costs will be less than they normally would be (had solicitors and Counsel represented the Claimant); it seems that Wilson represented himself much of the time.
Still, Cantor and maybe Wilson can both complain to the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority. I hope they both will.

Could the Federal Government —and whole society— of the USA be any more penetrated and occupied by “them”?
Well, this week I merely equalled John Rentoul’s 5/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 3, 7, 8, and 9. I was unsure about questions 4, 5, 6, and 10, and had no idea at all about question 2.
“A fellow at the University of Cambridge who has sparked backlash with his comments on race has been dropped by Emmanuel College where he was a research associate.
Nathan Cofnas, an early career research fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy, is understood to have had his relationship with the college ended following an investigation into his conduct.
Mr Cofnas came under fire in February after he published a blog post which claimed the number of black professors at Harvard would ‘approach zero’ in a meritocracy, and that ‘Blacks would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.’
He also dismissed equality between people of different ethnicities as a ‘thesis’ that is ‘based on lies’.
Mr Cofnas, who describes himself as a ‘race-realist’, is understood to have been informed of the college’s decision by letter on April 5, which stated his posts were in violation of its diversity and inclusion policies.
Last month, the first black man to ever be appointed to the head of a Cambridge College, Lord Simon Woolley, principal of Homerton College, held an event with students and the master of Emmanuel Doug Chalmers to discuss their concerns.
Lord Woolley, who was previously appointed by then-Prime Minister Theresa May to head the UK Government’s Race Disparity Unit, told the assembled students that free speech must be protected, but this did not extend to ‘abhorrent racism’.
Emmanuel’s Master Mr Chalmers had initially backed Mr Cofnas’ right to freedom of speech, but the college soon launched an investigation, alongside other probes by the University and the Leverhulme Trust, which provided him with a research grant.”
So the “diversity hire” has no understanding of the concept of free speech, or the concept of academic freedom, yet has been appointed principal of a Cambridge University college…

If Sunak thinks that this tired and derivative form of “gutter politics” will fly, he is very mistaken. I was looking at the “Readers’ Comments” in the Daily Mail on this. Only about 1% support the policy and/or think that it will ever be possible (or desirable) to implement it.
We read that there is currently an “epidemic of shoplifting“. What does Sunak imagine will be the result of cutting off the last peanuts lifeline to people, leaving them totally desperate, destitute, homeless etc?
If Sunak and the Conservative Party are trying to improve their electoral chances by this, they are in cloud-cuckoo land. The only people who will be impressed will be the hard core of unthinking Con voters aged 60+, and they will vote Con anyway.
Of course, none of the announced policies will be implemented, or implementable, prior to the General Election. The question therefore devolves to the response from Starmer and Rachel Reeves etc, who will probably be forming the next government. If they follow in Sunak’s footsteps, there could be something akin to an uprising eventually; certainly social upheaval.
Bismarck introduced the skeleton of a Welfare State in Germany 150 years ago, not because the Iron Chancellor was soft, or very kind-hearted, but because he wanted to divert any revolutionary sentiment in the masses. Looks like the UK’s pygmy politicos are going the other way.

Now, more information. Seems that the egregious Israel-based Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, was involved (I was unaware of that until today, though did wonder when I saw a few tweets in the past week). He has messed up…again.
It seems Mr Lewis thought Mr Cantor had no assets and had financial immunity for my costs even if he lost.
The “misunderstanding” is catastrophic for Mr Cantor and his family because he must sell his house to pay my costs.
My opinion is that Mr Lewis should pay the costs! 2/2.
Lewis is actually a pretty poor lawyer anyway in my opinion (based partly on what I have read about him over the years), and he has in the past admitted that at times — apparently by reason of his prescribed medications, in part— he has, or has had, no idea of what he is or was doing.
Looks now as if that Cantor individual (of whom I know nothing, and of whom I had never heard until this case finished recently) will or might have to take legal action against Lewis himself if he is not to become homeless after his failed attempt to ruin a university academic. What a great pity…
It is not for me to pronounce on whether Lewis was negligent and/or dishonest in this particular case, but (once again) it seems that he has, shall we say, “questions to answer”.
Lewis, though now based in Israel, has a foothold in the UK as “partner” of a small law firm in West London.
Lewis is basically a self-publicist: see my previous (years ago) blog mentions of him.
That blog post contains links which detail many (though I think not all) of Lewis’s defaults.
There is a notorious Jew-Zionist cabal on Twitter/X, and in the UK mass media, which has been determined for years to present Lewis to a gullible Press readership, TV-watching public etc as “hot shot lawyer”, or (as often described) “top lawyer“.
The fact is that, when Lewis finally left the UK for Israel (to live in Israel) about 5 years ago, his own Counsel said (at his “trial” before a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in London, at which Lewis was found guilty of having posted savagely violent social media posts) that Lewis had “no assets” except his own clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week. Even his car was being provided to him by the State disability benefit service, Motability.
Oddly (not), Lewis’s appearance before, and “conviction” by, the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal was not covered at all by the “occupied” UK msm, and only briefly by a few law magazines…

Wow! Mark Lewis acted for Daniel Miller and Nina Power against Luke Turner. Lewis’ clients lost in spectacular fashion. Mr Miller is now bankrupt. I am not sure about Ms Power.
It is awful the same will happen to Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor!
Seems that James Wilson is, on the face of it, a little too kind. Those Jew-Zionist fanatics (the defendants Cantor and Mendelsohn, whoever they are —I had heard of the unpleasant Newbon) were, after all, quite willing to ruin Mr. Wilson if they could.
As for Lewis, he is, in my opinion, repeatedly unprofessional, quite apart from, also in my opinion, being very far from as effective as his fellow-fanatics try to make him appear.
Lewis’s Third Witness Statementsays it— he “misunderstood“…
Mr Cantor was on a CFA with Mr Lewis, so if he settled with me for nominal damages and zero costs, he had to pay me almost nothing and his solicitor absoutely nothing.
Why would he have rejected this settlement in principle?
Lewis is no better than an “ambulance-chaser”, in my opinion.
For context. Mr Lewis referred to me as £19 Wilson because my maximum cost was £19/hour whereas his was £600/hour. And the Defendants – or perhaps Mr Lewis – refused mediation for two years until they lost the strike out application.
I keep seeing on Twitter/X that Lewis must be a great defamation lawyer because he “won when representing ‘Jack Monroe’ against Katie Hopkins, who lost and had to sell her house.”
True, Katie Hopkins did lose that case, and did have to sell her house to pay the legal costs supposedly incurred by that fraudulent purveyor of 10p-a-dinner swill, “Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas, before she changed her name).
What that story leaves out is that, firstly, Katie Hopkins was either badly advised or, as I believe was the case, not advised at all; she had no lawyers, and so persisted with a defence which was bound to fail. She never stood a chance, but her pride got in the way.
As for Lewis, a child could have won that case against Katie Hopkins.
So Lewis was trying to blag £600 an hour for his most recent defective advice? Well, he will get nothing now (again); he will have to keep the lights switched off in his flat in Eilat, and “collect the pennies on the empties”, as people used to say.
Unfortunately this is necessary because I am dealing with unreasonable people. This message shows Pete Newbon’s total faith in Mark Lewis (@MLewisLawyer) of Patron Law (@LawPatron) to look after him in the litigation. Pete guessed he had to trust Mark Lewis. pic.twitter.com/6uNzvceSj4
Typical Lewis: tries to intimidate people who have no assets beyond (perhaps) a residential property; they, he hopes, will settle and, crucially, pay supposed “costs” to Lewis, who then gets money without having had to win at trial.
The defamation case won by James Wilson, included references in the court judgment that Rachel Riley had promoted the crowdfunder by the defendant (who’d committed the libel) to employ lawyer Mark Lewis.

Lewis should be (at long last) struck off the solicitors’ roll; as for Myerson, the matter should be placed before the Bar Standards Board. I hope that Mr. Wilson complains formally to the BSB about him. In the meantime, Myerson should not be permitted to sit as a Recorder (if he still is so permitted after his previous defaults).
Yet another instance of Lewis having been, if not dishonest (?), then certainly negligent. That, at least, was the view of yet another High Court judge.
The world has had capitalist societies, socialist societies, feudal societies etc, but now, in the UK, has emerged a new form of society— the permanently “offended” society of fake “diversity”.
Most of the faked “offence” is taken by “the usual suspects”, of course.
The Daily Mail and Jewish/Zionist so-called “charities” (including the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) are whining because someone convicted (on evidence that would have shamed the Star Chamber) in 2018, and then sentenced to 6.5 years, is being released a few months before the end of his full term expires.
Most prisoners are released at, or even before, the halfway point. In this case, that would have meant release in 2021, three years ago.
I hope that the State will not be so cruel as to deny the young couple the right to have their child returned to them. To do that would be absolutely evil.
If the newspaper report (penned by one Iwan Stone, incidentally) is correct, the couple intend to live in Portugal when they can. Good luck to them as they move on from all of this.
Have they not suffered enough?
Literary thought
For no obvious reason, The Merchant of Venice springs to mind. I have not seen a proper production being put on for quite a while.
Othello seems to be more popular.
Perhaps it always was; it has also inspired more adaptations and variations, as in this old noir:

No matter how much money the U.S. Government sends to the Kiev regime, no matter even how much armament and ammunition is sent, the Kiev regime cannot “win”, even to the extent of occupying the Donbass and Crimea.
The Kiev regime army is flagging as many desert the field, and many more avoid conscription. To be recruited by the Kiev regime army is to be sent to quite likely death or life-changing injury on the front-lines, which are now starting to collapse.
Ukraine is producing few children, and a quarter or more of its pre-2022 population is living outside Ukraine. If American and EU aid stopped, there would be no fighting within a few weeks, followed by either a negotiated armistice or Russian victory. As it is, it looks as though this brutal war will smoulder on for months, maybe even a year or two.
In the end, though, Russia will “win”, in the sense of taking over all of Eastern Ukraine, and possibly the coast as far as, and maybe beyond, Odessa.
I watched a few minutes of a very biased BBC World News report about the war. The reporter, some bearded fellow whose name I did not catch, did say something about why Ukrainians try to avoid fighting. Apart from the obvious dangers, open-ended service (no way of getting out) and poor conditions generally.
What, however, made the report farcical was said reporter’s then assertion that Ukraine is a “genuine democracy“. Hardy ha ha… A “genuine democracy” that now refuses to hold elections, has banned trade unions, which press-gangs people up to age 60 and beyond to serve as cannon-fodder on the collapsing front-lines, and which shoots dissidents, or holds them without trial in unpleasant camps and prisons.

Yet more evidence of how ridiculous Britain's post-Brexit immigration policy really is. We were promised high-skill, high-wage, highly-selective, low-cost immigration. Instead we got low-skill, low-wage, non-selective, non-graduate & high-cost immigrationhttps://t.co/9mY88fZaM7https://t.co/RlJshYXNhO
The Office for National Statistics just forecast that between today and 2036 Britain's population will grow by 6.6 million people –6.1 million of which will be due to international net migration
…and the rest will be from births to immigrant or previously immigrant or other non-white mothers.
If a social-national government cannot take power within the next decade, Britain is doomed and British society will become a chaotic and brutal dystopia.

“Exclusive: BBC staff are being told not to hire candidates who are “dismissive” of diversity and inclusion. A recruitment policy document says that applicants should be asked to “what opportunities do you see for you to promote, celebrate or encourage diversity and inclusion in your role?”
The guidelines tell recruiters “don’t hire; [candidates who are] unsuited to the organisation” if they are “dismissive or derisory of diversity and inclusion and surrounding topics”.
Managers are also directed not to offer jobs to candidates if they show a “lack of interest in learning more where no evidence of education and understanding of diversity and inclusion was given”.
Commenting on the recruitment guidelines, a BBC source said: “The BBC is not a welcoming place for those with conservative opinions. Management talks about diversity, without embracing diversity of thought.
The place that I have given years of my working life, and that I sincerely cherish, currently feels captured by Left-wing activists and is unable to deliver on our core principle of impartiality.”
“Hiring on the basis of adherence to diversity and inclusion ideology excludes most conservative-minded people, and indeed much of the population.”
[Steven Edginton, Daily Telegraph].
The BBC, even more than other msm, is a nest of treachery and evil, as shown by its propaganda output during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic.

I was just thinking, “just like the Soviet system of having at least one ‘politichesky rukovoditel‘ (political director, executive, supervisor, or commissar) attached to each ship or Army formation, and assisted by ‘sekretnye sotrudniki’ or ‘stukachi‘ (‘secret co-workers’ or ‘informers’).”

It is with great regret that we report the death of Catherine McArdle, Deputy Librarian. Catherine passed away peacefully on Sunday 28 January.

Sorry to see that notice. I was a member of Lincoln’s Inn from 1986 until I was (wrongfully and unlawfully) disbarred in 2016, at which point my membership of the Inn was, effectively, terminated automatically.
As a very frequent user of Lincoln’s Inn Library, I knew Catherine for many years (1988 to about 2002). She was from the North (maybe North East) of England, from a family in a coal-mining community. Beyond that, I knew little of her personal life, though I believe that she got married at some point after having joined Lincoln’s Inn (and the photograph in that tweet, showing a ring, would seem to support that).
A nice person.
[The Library, Lincoln’s Inn, London]
Mortality. It comes to us all. Catherine, I now see, was actually 6 years younger than me. It reminds us that we must stand up for truth and justice etc while we live, no matter what challenges the forces of Evil array against us.
The brave IDF dressing up as women and medical staff to murder 3 patients they allege are ‘terrorists’ in a hospital Now tell me Israel is a normal, democratic state pic.twitter.com/5swxmmX0q6
Well, looked at from an ethics-free view (and/or from the Israeli point of view), that operation has the hallmarks of skill and cunning. Equally obviously, to kill patients prostrate in a hospital (one photo shows a single bullet-hole in the centre of a hospital pillow, with blood around it) is pretty abhorrent and, indeed, very wicked, something one would associate with the worst criminals and terrorists.
Frederick Forsyth was or is very pro-Israeli. I saw something from him once to the effect that terrorists who then gain state power (as happened in Israel/Palestine when the various Jew-Zionist terrorists of the Irgun, Palmach, Stern Gang /”Lehi” etc became part of the Israeli power structure) can leave their terrorism behind and become “normal” political leaders of “normal” states.
Forsyth’s view may have had its arguments when he was most fervently pro-Israel, in the 1960s, 1970s, but now the facts have changed or become more evident: Israel’s massacres of Arab civilians every few years, and of course the truth coming out more in the West about the ethnic cleansing (mass murder, and theft of land) carried out by the Jews in Israel/Palestine from 1948 to the present day.
Forsyth himself, who always strikes me as rather dim, at least politically, was cheated out of much of his invested money by a Jew he trusted (“Roger” Something), insult then being added to injury by the said Jew receiving a mere suspended sentence for the embezzlement of millions of pounds. That episode is, incidentally, absent from Wikipedia. “They” seem to have been “editing” (sabotaging) again…

Regular readers will be aware that I am to be sentenced tomorrow for allegedly having posted “grossly offensive” (anti-Jew-Zionist) material on 5 out of some 1,700 blog posts published since this blog started in late 2016.
It may be that part of the sentence will include a restriction on the publication of the blog. If so, the restriction might last for a year. We shall see.
Freedom of expression on political, social and even historical topics is as good as dead in the UK, and those responsible are, for the most part, those who may well be called “the usual suspects”.
I hope to resume blogging soon, but if that proves not to be the case, I wish all well-intentioned readers well, and hope to resume transmission in due course.
