As I predicted long before GE 2024, Starmer is a pathetic little bureaucrat-lawyer box-ticker (who would be) given unwarranted power by a broken electoral system. Only 4 out of every 20 people eligible to vote voted Labour.
Starmer has none of the qualities of a Prime Minister.

I remember that winter of 1962-63. I was 6 years old, and had gone into Reading from my home in Caversham Heights (on the other side of the Thames) using the one bus, a single-decker, that serviced my home area. I cannot recall who accompanied me. Probably my grandmother, because she was the only adult family member unable to drive; unusually for that era in the UK, we were a two-car family.
As the bus returned to the nearest stop to where I lived (a couple of streets away), the driver slowed, but opened the exit door before the bus had come to a halt. It was still moving as I fell out. Luckily, I fell onto and into a large drift or pile of soft snow, and was entirely unharmed. My first lucky escape?
More fakery from that “industry” of fakery.
The general public is unaware of how much of the whole WW2 “holocaust” narrative is not even exaggerated but actually invented. The number of entirely faked “true stories” and supposed personal accounts is staggering, and well deserves the designation of being an “industry”.
A well-known example of “faction” is that of the Spielberg film, Schindler’s List, which many people believe to be an unvarnished true account of actual events. In fact, Schindler’s List was based on a novel, Schindler’s Ark, which was written by an Australian who, when the Second World War broke out in 1939, was only 4 years old.
It is uncertain how much of Schindler’s Ark (and, more so, Schindler’s List) is mere invention. A great deal, probably. Obviously, the Second World War happened, and Jews were put to work under compulsion in some parts of Europe. You could compare the book and film to other “faction” books such as The Day of the Jackal; skilful melding of fact and fiction.

In The Day of the Jackal, the surrounding facts were “real”, undisputed in outline, and the fictional plot easily grafted onto those facts.

I have blogged in the past, briefly, about that whole silly, sorry, business.
My views are that, while the old ex-officer was no doubt well-meaning, the whole thing was really a bit silly. He obviously believed, as did most of the population at the time (though not me), that “Covid” was some kind of existential threat to the nation (whereas it was the overall policy of “lockdowns” and other panicky measures taken that has proven so damaging to both economy and society).
Apart from that, I do find “Captain Tom” a bit of a “Captain Mainwaring”. After all, what kind of person, in the modern era, uses his military rank on a day to day basis nearly 80 years after he left the Army? Particularly when his substantive rank was Lieutenant (war-temporary Captain; he may have been gazetted substantive Captain prior to “demob” in 1946— I do not know), rather than Field Marshal, General, or Colonel.
Of course, in the 1940s, 1950s, even 1960s, there were plenty of people around who used their old war rank of, as many were, Major and, yes, even Captain, socially, or in business, but that was anachronistic even in the 1970s, fifty years ago.
“Captain Tom” never saw action, though of course that was no fault of his own; he went where ordered, and in his case that was to set up a rear-echelon training course for motorcyclists in India, later becoming an instructor in tank mechanics in Dorset. After that, he worked in the family construction business: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Tom_Moore.
The whole “Captain Tom” thing became very convenient for the Government in propaganda terms
As for the old officer’s family, mainly his daughter Hannah and her husband, they are little better than cockroaches, of course.
Still, the old fellow meant well, however naively, and in a way it is sad that his memory is now irretrievably tarnished by the flagrant greed and dishonesty of his daughter.
Incidentally, I must read the copy of the autobiography of “Captain Tom” which is in the back of the car. Thankfully, Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband will not be getting a penny from me, I having bought it for something like 20p in Tesco, off a charity bookshelf I saw there.
“Dear @jonsopel and @maitlis I’ll just post this to remind you of the depths to which two former “journalists” can sink. Kicking someone in your trade when they’re down and having suicidal thoughts.

I happened to see on TV an elderly, over-90 years, but very compos mentis, retired professor, talking to the TV chef Rick Stein about the decline in average IQ since 1950, as apparently noted in a study done by, or under the auspices of, Bradford University. The professor cited as a (or even the) causative reason the decline of consumption of fish and shellfish in the UK over the past 74 years.
That may be part of it. Certainly some types of fish popular with the mass market have become expensive; even standard British favourites such as cod and haddock. I bought some fish and chips recently: 1 large cod, 1 large haddock, 1 small bag of chips. £20.50.
Whether you think that £20.50 for a smallish bag of chips and 2 large pieces of fish is expensive or not will depend on your general financial level, but it is at least certainly more than most citizens will want to pay out on a daily basis.
Some fish in the UK is not, however, expensive, however poor you are. Mackerel, for one, which can be bought (uncooked) in a supermarket for as little as a pound or so for a good-size fillet.
I recall that, when I lived in Fethiye (Turkey) for a few months in 2001 (I drove there from the UK, a trip that was more difficult then than it now is), I went to the fish market in the town almost daily, about 4-5 times a week. The hierarchy of price descended from the most expensive, which were huge langoustines, or tuna steak and swordfish (cut from massive whole tuna and swordfish, some 5 or 6 feet or more long and 1-2 feet wide), through many other types of fish and shellfish and down to tiny fish, presumably by-catch, which cost only about 5% or even 2% of the most expensive. There is always a decision to be made by the individual on what is affordable or not.
IQ in a general population is obviously affected by diet, but is also a function of other factors. The UK’s average IQ level has been badly affected by, inter alia, the mass immigration that has been such a feature of the past 75 years.
Importation of non-European peoples into the UK has had many negative consequences. A lower average IQ is merely one.
One sees evidence of decline in IQ and/or educational levels everywhere. One example might be secondary school exam papers. When I was studying, belatedly, in my mid-twenties, for “A” Levels (and an “S” level) in 1983, studying alone and without tuition, I sent off for papers from a number of previous years, from the 1950s and 1960s right up to 1982. Even in 1983, one could see that the level of difficulty had steadily declined over the previous 30 years.
Since the 1980s, of course, there has been massive award inflation. Not only at secondary educational level but also at tertiary (university) level. Hardly anyone actually fails a university degree now, unless the student drops out. The kind of average degree, normal only 30 or more years ago, a 2:2 (as earned by Tony Blair, among others), is now not even considered a reasonably “good” degree. The real standard has not improved, but dropped, while presented as something wonderful.
Not that IQ (and knowledge) mean everything, anyway. “EQ” (“emotional intelligence”) is also important: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_intelligence.
As for myself, long ago, in the 1980s, my IQ was tested at 156 (UK average being 100, and university students typically testing at 125), certainly in the top 1% of the population, but that was in the mid-1980s, when I was about 30, and it may well be (I do not know) that I would test lower today. By way of compensation, though, I think that I can say that experience, and other infusions from the stream of Life, make up the difference, and perhaps more.
We often hear that “things do not work properly any more in our society”, and that may become a greater problem as average IQ drops ever lower.
Our society should be travelling, by design, in the other direction.

“Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer is a very nasty little man, a typical bureaucrat given power and unable to handle it.
Do not imagine that words alone will sort out this whole mess.
It is time to stop thinking of MPs, not all but many of them, as merely “mistaken” or “wrongheaded“, and to awaken to the fact that some, perhaps many of them, are —in a word, in lay meaning— “traitors” to the British people and their future. Not necessarily the above MP, though; I am talking generally.
Whatever one may think of “Tommy Robinson”, he has a point, nicht wahr?
“This decision by the SRA about Lewis’ negligent advice is just awful. Mark Lewis told Pete Newbon that the defamatory publication did not identify me. It was startlingly incompetent advice because the publication contained a clear photo of me and Tolley v Fry (possibly the most famous defamation case) says a claimant can be identified by a photo or sketch. The SRA’s own Code of Conduct says solicitors must “ensure that the service you provide to clients is competent…” So contrary to what the SRA says, incompetent advice is a regulatory matter. And the SRA’s strategy for dealing with Lewis’ incompetent advice is for Newbon to bring a negligence claim or complain to the ombudsman. Obviously, Newbon will not do either of those things. It scares me that the SRA – faced with a solicitor who appears not to grasp the absolute basics of the area of law he works in – won’t take action to protect the public from incompetent advice. Surely it is the SRA’s job to identify and deal with solicitors who give incompetent advice?@sra_solicitors @lawsocgazette.“
[James Wilson, successful claimant in the legal case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Cantor, and Newbon (deceased)]. ]
Mark Lewis, as previously noted, is a self-publicizing and —by the “occupied” UK msm— hugely overrated solicitor who should have been struck off (not merely reprimanded and fined, as he was) for some of his previous professional (meaning unprofessional) defaults. He is, and has been repeatedly proven to be, dishonest, untruthful, and professionally negligent.
Only a complete idiot would now instruct “Mark Lewis Lawyer”.
What is protecting Lewis, in my view, is the fact that the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority was screeched at in 2019 by the organized Jew-Zionist lobby, after the SRA fined and reprimanded Lewis, after which he performatively decamped to Israel (but then slunk back quite often to the UK to make money). The SRA may be running a little scared of “the screechers” (((them))).

Thoughts about “two-tier Keir”, two-tier “justice” etc
I often look at local newspapers online. Sometimes, you can get a better idea of where UK society is from those sources than you do from the national Press.
I just saw a few reports in the local Press, from several places in the south of England, which must surely stagger anyone who has observed the almost Stalinist sentences recently handed down to those who have been involved directly or indirectly in the recent protests or so-called “riots”.
Example: a mixed-race individual described as “a powerful thug” lost his jacket in a bar. He demanded that the barman find it. He then punched the barman and, despite other staff intervening, did so again. Door staff detained him after a struggle, the police arrived, and he then punched a policeman in the face. Previous offences of violence. Result? Non-custodial sentence.
Another example? “Traveller” (Irish tinker/”gypsy”) took police on a high-speed chase in a van. Much damage done, and some injury to members of the public. Tried to run off after he crashed. Uninsured. No driving licence. Multiple previous convictions. Result? Non-custodial sentence.
The recent sentencing for “political” or quasi-political “crimes” has mostly been a disgrace, and has actually shown up the System politicians, notably “two-tier” Keir, as being not strong (as they try to project) but fearful, and the System itself as brittle, without much resilience.
Incidentally, I was just thinking about that time, related in the New Testament, when Jesus Christ overturned the tables of the Jew moneychangers and did other “rebellious” actions, and scourged the moneychangers (at least symbolically):
“In the narrative, Jesus is stated to have visited the Temple in Jerusalem, where the courtyard was described as being filled with livestock, merchants, and the tables of the money changers, who changed the standard Greek and Roman money for Jewish and Tyrian shekels.[6] Jerusalem was packed with Jews who had come for Passover, perhaps numbering 300,000 to 400,000 pilgrims.[7][8]
And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.
— John 2:15–16, King James Version[9]
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
— Matthew 21:12–13, King James Version[10]“
[Wikipedia]
Now obviously the motivation of Jesus Christ was not the same as those “rioting” or protesting in the UK recently, but it could yet be described as “ideological” and/or “rebellious”, and certainly His actions were not that different from those of some of the recent defendants sentenced to imprisonment for having shouted insulting words, overturned cars, assaulted policemen and others etc.
Admittedly, one cannot imagine Jesus Christ looting a sausage-roll shop…
Worth thinking about, anyway.

Meanwhile, every single year, many millions more “migrants” (migrant-invaders) flood into Europe. A million or so or them end up invading Britain (whether as “legals” or “illegals”, often posing as permitted entrants (“fiancees”, “spouses”, “students”, workers with work visas, “tourists” etc). Many just disappear into “the community” once here.

So looks as though the attack failed. This time.
I have been reading The View from the Foothills: the Diaries of Chris Mullins [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Mullin_(politician)], published in 2009.
In an entry from a date in 2000, Mullins (appointed a junior minister under Blair) notes that one major problem with housing provision is that “most of the private rental housing has been soaked up by asylum seekers“.
In 2000! 24 years ago!
Some political nitwits, though, still do not seem to understand the basic facts, as seen with former MP, Sajid Javid:
Not entirely accurate, though not completely wrong either.
National identities across Europe developed, out of existing identities, in the earliest years of the 5th Post-Atlantean Age, that is, roughly, from 1400 AD.
Prior to that, someone might hold feudal power in more than one part of Europe, as the Plantagenet kings held sway in both England and parts of France.
The Renaissance recapitulated in a new way the 4th Post-Atantean Age (the Greco-Roman), and that 5th Age was at its beginning then. Joan of Arc was one major manifestation.
Once national identity strengthened, feudalism, with its system of fealty crossing other boundaries, waned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fealty.
In England, the influences of the new form of identity, national identity stricto sensu, slowly developed from that time. The Renaissance was slightly delayed in coming to England, having originated in Italy. Later, in the Tudor period (i.e. from 1485), a greater sense of national identity grew, but the same or similar was happening all over Europe, and had already started to happen in Switzerland, particularly.
So Caroline Lucas, though wrong in the specifics (the Tudors did not “invent” English national identity), is not totally wrong inasmuch as that identity, as we now understand it, was to a large extent initially the product of the Tudor period.

As David Starkey says, Starmer is (along with others and, particularly but not exclusively, in “the party formerly known as Labour”) attempting to institute a kind of “woke” and multikulti police state.
Where I differ from Starkey is in having no faith in the idea that a different ethos of national identity can suddenly emerge or be fostered, not without a homogenous population. The UK population is going the other way, becoming ever-more heterogenous, and spinning out of control.
I also differ from Starkey in that he thinks, or hopes, that, if he or someone else puts forward a reasoned and reasonable argument, eventually people will accept the propositions put forward. The credo of the traditional or classical academic.
All very well, as far as it goes, but Mao put forward the credo of Realpolitik, that is “political power comes out of the barrel of a gun“.
Not that that I agree wholeheartedly with that Maoist quotation either. The —by any other name— “revolution” in the DDR/East Germany in 1989 was not violent. There were vast, though peaceful, demonstrations in several major DDR cities (Dresden, Leipzig etc). The Lutheran Church was part of all that.
The East German state was still arresting some dissidents even in 1989, but the heart had gone. I recall the strange feeling I had when spending a couple of days in the DDR in 1988. Like a stage set of a state rather than a real one, an impression made stronger by the seemingly almost-depopulated southern parts of East Germany through which I travelled by car. I have blogged once or twice previously about my impressions of the place(s).
As a matter of fact, the slightly contrived “revolutions” of the late 1980s in Romania, Czechoslovakia etc were mainly non-violent, as they were in the pribaltika (Baltic states). I myself saw Czechoslovakia briefly in 1988, just before it all happened, and was in Poland several times in 1988 and 1989.
In Poland, even in 1988, one got the impression that the state there was going through the motions of being a “socialist” state but that, just under the surface, the whole population, pretty much, was “dissident” in one way or another; a kind of vast, non-violent anti-socialist conspiracy of a whole people.
Even in the Soviet Union, a huge “revolution” happened over several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, mostly though not entirely peaceful, and including (as in Romania and elsewhere) many elements of the socialist-state structure.
Starkey is or was a Conservative, politically. He seems at least slightly taken with Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick. Why? The first is a Nigerian (though born in London) and so, in my opinion, unfitted by that fact alone to be a British political leader, let alone Prime Minister. I have, also, never heard anything worthwhile from her.
As to Jenrick, I have several problems with him too. He appears to be at least partly English, but his full provenance is not in the public domain; at least, I myself have never seen it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jenrick#Early_life_and_non-political_career.
Born 1982, qualified late as solicitor, aged 26, but was in legal practice for only about 4 years (with two of the leading American law firms, sequentially; presumably quite junior), and was then (somehow; how?) a director of Christie’s auctioneers (though only until he became an MP a few months later).
Jenrick’s provenance interests me. It also disquiets.
Jenrick, yet another member of Conservative Friends of Israel, is tied up with Jewish businessmen and property-developer sharks, and pushed for the ruination of the small park by the Palace of Westminster by the proposed construction of a hugely-ugly “holocaust” “memorial” and propaganda centre.
In addition, Jenrick ordered, as minister for immigration, murals for children of migrant-invaders to be painted over because the colourful murals might give them pleasure and comfort.
No-one, I think, could accuse me of being either pro-immigration or in favour of granting privileges to migrant-invaders, but that mean-spirited targeting of any small children of such invaders by Jenrick felt morally wrong to me.
Like Starmer, Jenrick is married to a Jewish woman and has had children with her.
Jenrick just feels wrong to me. He’s a bad apple.
As to the Starkey interview, while I can agree with much of what he says there, he is too much in the ivory tower in the end.
Ironically, for someone “cancelled” by the System for making “racist” remarks, he seems to me insufficiently so. How does he imagine this country will recover in the way that he hopes when 20% of the population is already non-European, and with another ~million coming in every year at present? Make that, conservatively, about a 2% increase annually.
It seems to me that Starkey knows in his heart that I am right (even if, as is quite likely, he has never heard of me), but fears to say so; don’t forget that he “apologized” and tried to retract after he was “cancelled”. Never pretend to apologize to either the mob or to “them” (((them))).
The video is worth watching, though.

Good grief.
Listen to that “muppet” (on the second video clip), one Benjamin Butterworth. Complete idiot. Complete traitor to this country’s people and their future, too. Former (?)

Poor thinking skills. Very poor, in fact. A fanatic, but one with nothing of interest to say. Claims that “legal immigrants” (the vast majority of all immigrants) all “come into the country with a job“. A straight lie. Huge numbers enter as supposed “fiances”, “fiancees”, “spouses”, “students”, “family members”, “asylum seekers” etc; and even those supposedly entering “with a job” (on work visas) are often not bona fide at all.
I fear that much of Starmer’s strongest support comes from semi-educated and anti-British fanatics of that sort.
I rather think that GB News had that Butterworth on because they knew that he would create a kind of petty storm among the discussion panel.

Interesting to note that the msm always applauds “resistance” (including violent “resistance”) in, for example, historically, the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, Italy, Spain, and in various other parts of the world; in South America, even in contemporary North America and Europe, so long as Jews, non-whites, or sometimes Communist partisans, are doing the various forms of “protest”, but as soon as contemporary white people do the same, they must, apparently, be shut down, “cancelled”, even prosecuted and, indeed, even imprisoned. Not even because they have been violent, in fact. Look at Jez Turner, imprisoned for making a speech, Alison Chabloz, for singing satirical songs and posting cartoons; more recently, Sam Melia, for having published stickers the subject-matter of which was not even unlawful.
Remember “two-tier Keir” and thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner being photographed literally “taking the knee” (bowing down before) the fraudulent “Black Lives Matter” nonsense?
Carol Vorderman thinks that Nigel Farage is a snake-oil salesman. Well, not much argument from me on that, but wait until La Vorderman discovers the truth about Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves etc…
Of course, the main reason that Farage recently distanced himself from the English protests, and especially their riotous offshoots, was because he does not want OFCOM to pressure GB News to cut off his work (and money).
Well, I certainly hear what tweeter Paul Embery is saying there, but look at the alternative— Kamala Harris, a hugely-ignorant non-white who will be but a figurehead while the “Deep State” around her, and really running the show, foments war with Russia, a war they think they can “win” but which —if it happens— will leave Europe, as well as North America and European Russia, in irradiated ruins.

The only question is whether Putin will simply utilize conventional military methods to push the Kiev-regime forces out of that part of the Kursk region which they have recently invaded, or whether he will do something entirely unexpected by the Western msm, such as use very powerful bombs and missiles (even tactical nuclear ones) to blast clear the whole of the occupied area. There is an outside chance that he might even launch a massive air bombardment on Kharkov or even Kiev.
Whatever the Russian response is, the Kiev-regime forces will be unable to hold the recently-invaded territory. Zelensky himself has admitted as much, though saying that Kiev “is not interested” in doing so. If that is so, why invade that territory in the first place? Clearly, as a public relations exercise to keep Western arms and money flowing in.
Meanwhile, in the Donbass region to the south, Russian forces are steadily advancing at present. About a mile per day. Not spectacular, but the Kiev-regime forces, short of —most of all— soldiers, will have no chance of regaining those areas, or of stopping the Russian advance, all the more so now that some of the better Ukrainian detachments have been re-deployed to assist with the Kursk incursion.

Life in remote Western Siberia
A simple and, in many respects, hard life. Not completely isolated, though. I see that they seem to have electricity (“Socialism means Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country“— Lenin) , and that their milk comes from a carton rather than from their one cow.
The old lady is cooking (I think) manti [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manti_(food)] or pelmeni [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelmeni], foods quite similar inter se, and not dissimilar to ravioli. Cuisine is not really my forte, so I had better say no more. As for what she is frying, maybe cubes of bacon, maybe pork fat.
The old man is seen mending his fishing traps (there is a nearby small river).
Retired people in Russia now get a pension of about £200 a month. Not much (under Yeltsin, it was only about £25, and not always paid), but it must go quite far in a Siberian village. Milk, tea, bread, flour etc.
It occurs to me that, were the world to be hit by nuclear war, and depending on how severe that would be, people of that type might survive better than those who live, as most of us do, in Western (or Russian) cities, towns, suburbs, or partly-suburbanized countryside.
As someone once said of the Louisiana Cajuns living in and around the Mississippi Delta, “when the rest of the world is starving, these people will still be eating.”

Starmer-Labour is clueless. The time for a National Wealth Fund would have been in the 1970s and onward, using North Sea Oil revenues, but the System parties gave most of the benefit to oil companies and foreign speculators.
Again, clueless. Mad. Crazed. Would-be dictator Yvette Cooper, who is closer to her evil dream than ever before, is even more of a police-statist than Starmer. She must be stopped. Starmer must be stopped.
Where is real journalism in this country?
I mean by that, journalism that points out loudly and often that the Starmer-Labour regime was “elected” on the votes of only 33.7% of those who voted, i.e. a third of the actual voters, and only 20% (if that) of all eligible voters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results.
This government has no real popular mandate.
Already, people who have nothing to do with “terrorism” (even taking the term at face value) are being snooped upon and sometimes raided by the police, under (some of them) their new-ish Stasi-lite grand title of “the Anti-Terror Command”. I think that even the satirical singer and entertainer Alison Chabloz was arrested by them one day, several years ago.

Is comment even necessary?
This country is so screwed it is actually almost unbelievable. Not only because of migration invasion, but that, together with a “multicultural” population, is the cause of much of the overall problem.
Starmer-Labour will not “fix” the problems of the UK. Au contraire—Labour’s fake “landslide” regime will worsen them. Starmer-Labour is wedded to “diversity”, “anti-racism” (except against white English people) etc.

“Germany plans to halve its military aid to Ukraine in 2025, to €4bn, despite concerns over continued US support, according to a draft budget seen by Reuters. Instead the German government hopes Ukraine will be able to meet the bulk of its military needs with $50bn in loans from proceeds of frozen Russian assets approved by the G7, and that funds earmarked for armaments will not be fully used.”
There is no “Ukraine” as such now, just the Kiev regime, which can either be regarded as a “failed state” or a non-state.

Starmer says that the event of 7 October 2023 was the worst attack on Israel since “the holocaust”. Israel did not exist as a state until 1948.

“A single mother-of-two, who framed an innocent woman when she drove a pick-up truck and towed a trailer illegally, has dodged jail after revealing her personal woes.
Juliann Quilligan, 27, from Skelmersdale, Lincolnshire falsely told police her name was Rebecca Williams when she was pulled over for illegally towing a trailer on the M62.
The mother was driving her Mitsubishi L200 without being insured and kept quiet as police added eight points to the unaware woman’s licence.
She argued that she became ‘panicked’ and ‘frightened’ when dealing with police due to mental health issues exacerbated by her estrangement from the travelling community which she fled in 2019 so her children could go to school.
The victim – Miss Williams – only discovered she had been wrongly convicted in her absence when she attempted to renew the insurance policy on her own car.“

Egregious. Also, leaving aside the sheer injustice of it all, note the absence of proper journalism and sub-editing of that report. “Skelmersdale, Lincolnshire“, writes the Daily Mail scribbler, one Shannon McGuigan, when surely a “journalist” should know that Skelmersdale is in Lancashire…
Again, the Daily Mail report is really quite poorly-written, something which is now almost the norm in most newspapers.
Proper journalism is another thing that has just faded away and died in the UK.

Of course, the migration invasion is not being allowed to happen by accident:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan; see also https://www.ilpost.it/2018/01/16/piano-kalergi/.
The backlash from the people has grown, in the UK, in Ireland, and also across mainland Europe. In the UK, it drove the upsurge of voters for the actually rather mild Reform UK at the General Election of 2024 (over 4 million voters voted Reform UK. The Conservative Party only had about 6 million voters, and victorious Labour about 9 million).
The Conservative Party was dumped mainly because of both the invasion itself and also its down-the-line consequences, though sheer incompetence generally was also a major factor.

The “unwanted truth”. The Twitter-twits and similar people will close their ears. They want to believe that mass immigration has nothing at all to do with the housing crisis, or low pay, restricted State benefits, crowded schools, hospitals, trains etc, even water shortages.
They also prefer to believe that you can import half a million or a million persons per year, mostly from very backward parts of the planet, to the UK, without any effect on public safety, a decent life, standards in all areas, you name it.

“Terrible news for Ukraine” – European experts on Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance Donald Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his candidate for the post of vice president of the United States has again raised fears in Europe that the former American leader will take a businesslike approach to foreign policy and will pursue it based on the principle of “America First,” writes The Guardian.
This, as the article notes, could lead to the United States insisting that Kyiv give in to Vladimir Putin and ask for peace with Russia. “It’s bad for us and it’s terrible news for Ukraine,” said one senior European diplomat in Washington. “Vance is not our ally.”
Foreign diplomats and observers often call Trump’s current policies a “black box,” saying it is impossible to know for sure what the unpredictable leader will do once in power. Some are comforting themselves by suggesting that leadership candidates such as former US national security adviser Robert O’Brien will maintain the status quo on foreign policy while Trump focuses on domestic affairs. But the would-be US president now has a much more energetic deputy who will stoke Trump’s skepticism about Ukraine and Europe while urging the party to pursue aggressive trade and foreign policies in other parts of the world.“

“Last week I made the decision to cancel my Conservative Party membership after nearly a decade. The party has failed to set out a positive vision on housing, the environment and investment, as well as a pragmatic stance on Brexit. It has also drifted from the values of inclusivity and aspiration which drew me to the party under Lord Cameron. This isn’t me leaving the Conservative party, it’s the Conservative party that has left me. Read my interview with the Telegraph on why for the first time I am politically homeless.”

For once, Sunak, the little Indian money-juggler, is telling the literal truth. Britain is a train about to hit the buffers at high speed. How much longer can a country absorb a million unwanted and mostly useless (at best) immigrants every single year? Forget the brainless Rwanda “plan”— that will only affect, at most, 1% of immigrants (about 10,000 a year), even if not cancelled by Starmer-Labour.
The big picture is that Britain has been condemned to decline by its own secret cabals and ruling circles. This did not start today, or yesterday, or last year; it has been in train for decades, and certainly since 1989. Those secret ruling circles are running down Europe, including the UK, and trying to build up China and the other Pacific Rim countries, and North America.
In their (Coudenhove-Kalergi) plan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan, Europe is set to decline, and to become mixed-race (white/black/brown), and ruled mainly by Jewish or (quite often) part-Jewish (and always pro-Israel) persons— examples include Rothschilds, “Boris” Johnson, Theresa May, David Cameron-Levita, Gideon “George” Osborne, Zac Goldsmith etc, to give a few examples only).
The public of the UK has been and is being conditioned to accept gradually declining standards in all areas, from legislative probity to administrative efficiency to road repair, to educational levels, to public order and policing. Pay. Living standards. State benefits. Pensions. All areas.
Also, being conditioned to accept absurd and arbitrary “policies”, “laws”, regulations” etc, as tried out during the Covid “panicdemic”/”scamdemic: stupid “rules” such as “social distancing”, “the Rule of Six”, the “stay at home” mandates and “lockdown” mandates; the fake and harmful “vaccines”. Etc.

Time is running out for Sunak. People may not like or even trust Starmer and Labour, but Sunak and the misnamed “Conservatives” have used up all their credit with the public. To change metaphors, this government or, better, misgovernment is running on empty.
Here we are in mid-May 2024, and the latest a general election can be held is in January 2015, meaning that it has to be called by some date in December 2024, so 7 months at most.
Sunak is, at this point, not trying to “win” the next general election, just trying to mitigate the damage. If he is left with even, say, 150 MPs, rather than 100, or 50, or 30, he will be satisfied. The most recent polls have indicated a Conservative Party cadre in the Commons of as few as 13, incredibly.
The ruling cabals behind both main System parties are, for that reason, not too concerned which of those two parties, or facades, “wins” the 2024, or any other, General Election, because those hidden puppetmasters will ensure that the basic direction of travel stays the same in either case.
Look at how both Sunak and Starmer both fell over themselves to support Israel’s Gaza slaughter, in Starmer’s case even saying that it was OK for the Israeli Jews to cut off water and food to the Gazan civilians, most of whom were and are women and children.
My own assessment of Esther McVey from 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/10/03/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-esther-mcvey-story/.

Which also means that 32% of the British public, more than sympathise with either Israelis or Palestinian Arabs, sympathise with neither side (or “do not know”, or do not want to say)…

Sunak’s government of clowns really is running on empty.
Natalie Elphicke pretended to stay loyal to her foolish husband while he was on trial for pathetic minor sex crimes, divorced him after he was convicted and imprisoned, and arranged to replace him as Conservative Party MP for Dover. Now, realizing that the game is up, she defects to Labour! About as trustworthy as any triple agent…
Does that mean that she will be the Labour candidate for Dover at GE 2024? I should have thought not.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalie_Elphicke#Personal_life.
Having said that, Natalie Elphicke is unarguably right about Sunak’s bad joke government. The very roads are like something out of the Ukraine now— potholed, rutted, unrepaired or, at best, poorly-patched.
I started to comment on the blog years ago about how, not overnight but over 10-15 or more years (even pre-dating “Conservative” governments post-2010) “nothing works in Britain these days”. The newspapers started to say the same a couple of years ago. Now, hardly anyone would argue about it.
It will be interesting to see whether Natalie Elphicke, if not adopted as Labour candidate for the Dover constituency, stands as Independent. It might be tight between Con and Lab anyway, but with Reform UK in the mix (and very likely to do well), and Natalie Elphicke potentially standing as Independent, it could be a very close contest indeed. She might even win.
Come to think of it, Natalie Elphicke might have done better to have defected to Reform UK, which would probably have made her its Dover candidate, and with a reasonable shot at winning in a three-way split.

London has large areas of unused roof space which could be turned into green space; not necessarily all open to the public, but still a haven for birds and a recreational resource for individual people, families, employee groups etc.
I had such ideas back in the mid/late 1970s, when I happened to see some of the views from the roof areas of tall buildings: a couple of the then-tall buildings of the City of London (now dwarfed by the new high buildings, of course), the British Gas building at Marble Arch etc; both during the daytime and at night.
Since those times, others with similar ideas but more resources have actually been able to make a few projects a reality. There remains huge scope.
