Well, an unusual week, in which political journalist John Rentoul did better than me. Rentoul scored 4/10, but my very disappointing result was a mere 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 4 and 6.
Disagree. Yes, Reform is underwhelming, and the Greens are indeed loonie, but the existing System parties deserve to be smashed and destroyed. Until they are, nothing better can emerge.
So in this piece is a claim from someone that Labour will lose upwards of 2,000 councillors in next month's elections. Trouble is it's only defending 2,557 seats. I know there's a lot of spin that goes on with these things. But come on guys. https://t.co/Bz3mhdCr4b
Local elections in the UK are yet another System stitch-up, deliberately staggered in different years so that each System party is likely to get a piece of the pie, continuously.
All elections, national and local, should be held on the same day and in the same month and year.
Incidentally, that would mean that all elected authorities, and central government, would be on the same page.
The Jewish-lobby influence on and in Reform weakens it hugely, and will (as probably is the plan anyway), eventually kill it whether it gets into government or not.
It all stems from this why this is happening. The IHRA needs dismantling https://t.co/MtZq7hAApe
1945 was a year of disaster, and was followed by the also-disastrous year 1948, when the Jewish state of Israel was established, and the land of Palestine partly “ethnically-cleansed” and then repopulated by the sweepings of the ghettos, prisons, and labour camps of old Europe.
Tim Stanley is one example of a type of person that has come to prominence over recent decades: usually a so-so minor academic, with System party (usually Con Party) connections, always scribbling rubbish in the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph or Spectator etc, and/or being an msm TV/radio talking-head. Also, almost invariably pro-Jewish lobby and pro-Israel.
Douglas Murray is another one.

The General’s first assertion is right, the second not quite right. The UK must leave NATO, cultivate friendly though independent relations with Russia (which really wants that from us), and stand with Russia and all true Europeans against Islamism, Zionism, and non-European migration-invasion.
Russia will give us cost-price fuel, maybe even free fuel, and will provide a massive market for British goods, services, and expertise.
Those people should be on our side, and really want to be on our side.

The panicdemic/scamdemic and the associated supposed “vaccines” are, combined, so big a lie, so great a scandal, that even now many people cannot accept the truth; the same applies to the associated stupidities—facemask-muzzling, “social distancing”, “the Rule of Six” (that absurdity only seen in England, and invented by “Boris”-idiot and little Matt Hancock) etc. The same goes for the ongoing economic consequences of the overall scam.

Starmer: "An election where what I would call patriotic values of tolerance, decency, live and let live, diversity, are under challenge like we’ve never seen before"
There comes a time when fair liberty becomes ugly licence, when “diversity” becomes the swamping of a culture, when reasonable tolerance becomes weak acceptance of wickedness and evil, and when “decency” no longer has meaning.
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.“

Starmer cannot see what is staring more and more people in the face about the state of this country and its direction of travel (straight down); he is also entirely without self-consciousness, even by System-drone political standards. He’s going down, and Labour will go down with him (or without him).

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.
[the fish market, Fethiye, Turkey. The many restaurant tables and chairs were not there when I used to patronise the market (neither was that sign in English) but, at that time, in 2001, the fish market was new, having been built or rebuilt and possibly having also been relocated from a different place. That was 23 years ago. How time flies when you are older…]

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.
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.

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.

And it just is the SRA’s job to protect the public from incompetent advice. because that’s part of the obligations Parliament has imposed on the SRA by enacting section 1 of the Legal Services Act 2007.
“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))).

“Police officers quizzed a pensioner in her home on suspicion of a hate crime after she stopped in the street to take a photo of a sticker which said: ‘Keep males out of women-only spaces.’
The sticker had been placed on to a LGBT+ pride poster which had the slogan Stand By Your Trans. Officers told the 73-year-old retired social worker that she had been identified from CCTV footage.
The woman told The Mail on Sunday she was ‘in a state of shock’ when officers arrived at her door. The incident happened in Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire – the setting for BBC crime drama Happy Valley about no-nonsense policewoman Catherine Cawood. It comes after fury over police forces failing to send officers to investigate burglaries and other serious crimes.“
“West Yorkshire Police said it had recorded the matter as a ‘non-crime hate incident’, adding: ‘Words of advice were given regarding the placing of the sticker, as it was reported to have caused offence.‘
“Stella O’Malley, psychotherapist and founder of international group Genspect, said: ‘It’s not the job of the police to decide that taking a photo is a hate crime.‘”
[Daily Mail]
The UK’s toytown police once again caught enforcing the emergent “woke” police state.
Note the defiant attitude of the West Yorkshire police box-tickers when challenged, though. A bland refusal to engage.
The West Yorkshire Police seem to have missed the recent comments of both H.M. Inspector of Constabulary and those of the Home Secretary, to the effect that police should start to do their proper job, and stop acting like a poundland KGB (regular readers of the blog will be aware that I have had similar problems with the “plodosphere”…).

Wouldn’t you know it? The Jew Shapps whining about how “his family” (ancestors, a century and a half ago) were victims of “antisemitism”. Was that in Ukraine?
If all those people rebelling against the ULEZ nonsense were to cover up their registration numbers, then drive out at the same time or on the same day, the police and ULEZ enforcers would have to admit defeat (cf. Berlin Wall, 1989).
Interesting. However, London has probably never been so well-interconnected as it now is.
I notice that, had those 1940s plans been implemented, even the area north of Reigate (Surrey), where I —intermittently— lived in the late 1970s and early 1980s, would have been within 2-3 miles of the proposed Underground stations of Kingswood and Tadworth, which are now still only on the ordinary railway (Tattenham Corner line).
Britain needs a fixed period of maybe 5-10 years, in which time Parliament must be suspended and this country sorted-out by a social-national dictatorship. Whatever it takes.

A few thoughts
Just saw on Sky News that no less than 872 migrant-invader bastards crossed the Channel in small boats yesterday (meaning, mostly, travelled a few miles in small or fairly small boats before being picked up and ferried to Dover by the Border “Farce” and/or RNLI).
So…872 useless and possibly dangerous parasites, likely criminals, possible terrorist sympathisers etc…
Those 872 bastards have to be (meaning, will be) sheltered, housed, clothed, fed, given pocket money in or by English towns and villages, provided with medical and dental services, provided with translators, interpreter, and legal services, at a cost of at least £200 per person per day. Minimum. Probably closer to £500 per person per day.
The “refugees welcome” dimwits are often the same people who complain that services, pay, benefits for (real) British people are being cut. Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad…
The pro-invasion dimwits cannot see, apparently, the connection between literally millions of invaders (both “legal” and “illegal”) over the past years and decades, and the shortages of housing, NHS services, and the rest. About 10 million migrant-invaders over 30 years (including births in the UK to —mostly non-white— migrants).
I believe that relatively few people can see the horror that awaits Britain only a few short decades down the line. Dystopia and civil war.

Frankly, that situation makes the UK more secure from nuclear attack, as things stand.
This concrete thing could be the final straw for the Tories. Everything in Britain feels like it’s going wrong and now we can’t even be sure our schools, hospitals and courtrooms won’t collapse around us. As a narrative of complacent decline it could hardly be more on the nose.
…and it turns out that the person most responsible for allowing it to happen was the snivelling little drunk and cocaine abuser (and expenses fraudster) Michael Gove, another Jewish-lobby puppet. It was a tweet about that little bastard which was one of merely five that resulted in my wrongful and unlawful disbarment (at the instigation of a pack of Jews) in 2016.
As the above tweeter says, though, this does feel somehow symptomatic of the complacent negligence and “where will they go?” casual entitlement (and accompanying casual social brutality to the poor, sick, disabled, unemployed etc) which has characterized politics in this country since 2010.
There is no popular enthusiasm for, nor even any solid support for, the Labour Party under Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, but in a basically binary system which excludes other parties, the voters are left with a stale choice. On that basis, this doomed Government is sliding to defeat, surely. What kind or magnitude of defeat, though, is still an open question.
Historical sidelight
In online open-source research into one or two characters, I discovered that there was a serious offer by Japan, sometime in 1944-45, and made to Swedish diplomats, for Japan to stop fighting, and to relinquish not only all territorial gains made since 1940, but even its (post-1931) rulership over parts of northeastern and eastern China: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widar_Bagge.
Had that offer been taken seriously by the UK and USA, it would not only have saved innumerable lives on all sides intra-theatre, but would have rendered the atomic bomb attacks on Japan in 1945 unnecessary.
I can only suppose that the Allied leadership wanted Japan to be crushed, and then remade in the Western image, as indeed it later was, as part of the post-1945 restructuring of the international order.

There is no question of any breakthrough of the first line of defense in the Zaporozhye region by Ukrainian troops, the Russian army is holding its positions , said the president of the Zaporozhye movement "Together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov.
Having said that, and acting as advocatus diaboli, let us suppose that the Kiev regime is speaking the truth for once. Let us suppose that the first line of defence (of, apparently, four) laid down by Russian forces has been breached. Let us suppose, further, that Kiev-regime forces can exploit that breach. Let us even suppose that they can breach all four defensive lines. What then?
The Kiev regime does not have the quantum of armour and infantry to breach all four defensive lines and then go on to take the major towns and cities of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Still less can the depleted Ukrainian Army go further, to invade the vast spaces of European Russia proper (which would anyway be a farcical repeat of the mistakes of both Napoleon and Hitler).
All that can happen, the most that can happen, is for the Ukrainian (Kiev-regime) forces to breach the defensive lines, then somehow hold on and bring up artillery with which to attack the civilian towns and cities in the Donetsk/Lugansk regions held by Russian forces (and now designated by them as part of Russia).
Russia has overwhelming air power, still mostly unused. Then there are its missiles. Soon winter will come to Ukraine, sometime in November, so within 2 months from now. Once the ground is hard, the Russian armour will come into its own.
I had thought that the much-trumpeted “Ukrainian counter-offensive” had already failed. It may be that, in one small southern sector of the overall front, that is not so, and that the Kiev-regime forces are still advancing slowly. Perhaps,; but for how long?
I think that, on the high-command level and above, the Russians are waiting to see what happens politically; in the USA, and in EU states as well. A change of US President may mean a change of attitude, and a change of policy.
If the 2024 US Presidential Election results in a President who continues the open-chequebook support for Zelensky and his cabal, Russia may take the gloves off, and destroy totally the rear areas from where the Ukrainian soldiers and their logistical support come. Kiev etc.
