[“SHOCKING: Katie’s Hopkins news this morning following court case.
This is a lesson for all those attempting to sabotage someone’s career and life.
Katie Hopkins has taken to social media with the following statement.
STATEMENT FROM KATIE HOPKINS
A ‘man’ responsible for pressurising my venues to cancel has been found GUILTY of FOUR counts of blackmail by a jury at Southampton Crown Court.
Blackmail is a serious criminal offence and carries a prison term. Sentencing is on 16 October 2026.
I remind those pressurising venues to cancel performers: this is a criminal act.
I require theatres that were cowed by one criminal, to reinstate my fully sold-out shows.
I thank the Crown Prosecution Service and Dorset Police for being splendid.
And to the jury, God speed in all you do.
STATEMENT ENDS
Having worked with Katie Hopkins I am thrilled that the Jury came to the right decision. She is a warm, kind and superb woman with exceptional talent.
This sets precedent and I encourage anyone facing similar challenges to take action.
Finally, go see her show. Best belly laugh you’ll get!
Justice!“]
Of course, most such “cancelling” or pressuring of venues etc is done by the malicious Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, in particularly the liars and perjurers of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.
David Icke, Gilad Atzmon, Alison Chabloz and many others have suffered such attacks.
Even I myself, when I was in my early 20s (late 1970s) and had my own small party.
Yes, that does mean that such Jew-Zionist tactics preceded the establishment of the “CAA”. The Jew-Zionist troublemakers were “at it” even in the 1950s (against Oswald Mosley, Colin Jordan etc) and, indeed, in the 1930s (against Mosley and his BUF and others) and even in the 1920s (in the UK, but also, and more so, in Germany, against the then-small NSDAP led by Adolf Hitler).
Years ago, I described Trump as “a loudly squawking parrot in a gilded cage, and guarded by a phalanx of Jews“, and I have seen little since then that might cause me to revise that view.
If you want to know just how badly the Tories betrayed Britain make sure you read this excellent essay by @SAshworthHayes.
The System parties, especially Labour, are pretending that the migration invasion is not a major issue, has no real downside, or at least is being “handled”. All lies.

Kirill Dmitriev, Special Representative of the Russian President, Head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, called for acknowledging the existence of well-funded and well-organized campaigns inciting war in the US, UK, and EU media:https://t.co/Xhf928BHjXpic.twitter.com/WT7GX1bTKf
The pernicious campaign inciting war between the West including, perhaps especially, the UK, and Russia, is ubiquitous. Such a war would be even more disastrous than the Second World War.
Far fewer than usual. Either the Kiev regime is running short on drones, or is planning a spectacular mass attack, using hoarded drones. Probably the latter.

[“Bondarenko: Western Europe is preparing for a new Northern war against Russia and therefore insists that Ukraine has 800,000 soldiers The Ukrainian political analyst Konstantin BONDARENKO: The war will be fought for control over the Baltic Sea, to deny Russia access to that sea. This was confirmed to me by sources in the European expert community. They are not for peace there, only for a ceasefire. For freezing the conflict – with a subsequent thaw The Euro-Atlantic region is forced to watch as the Ukrainian project, once considered a pillar-support in the fight against Russia, turns into an uncontrolled and toxic mechanism capable of dragging down everyone involved in its artificial maintenance.”]

The Chief of the General Staff of the Israeli Army, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, warned that the army would strike at Israel's enemies "wherever necessary, both on the near and far fronts", apparently hinting that Israel would be forced to strike Iran again.
From the horse’s mouth. Israel will be using Jews who live outside Israel to “monitor” non-Jews in their own countries; that Israel/”diaspora” nexus will not only be “monitoring” anti-Israel content, but trying to suppress it, and to repress those posting it. That nexus will also be creating false narratives etc.
It is already happening, in fact. AIPAC in the USA, the “CST” and malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] in the UK etc. You see it elsewhere too, France, Australia etc.

Russia’s world leadership will not arrive for another 1,500 years but, in the meantime, Russia must be allowed to develop in its own way, not as a field of exploitation by Western profiteers.
"Most people who enter Britain through asylum routes have low employment rates, low wages, are economically inactive, and if they are working then they earn a median salary of just £20,000 for men and £18,000 for women."https://t.co/5QluSPB5P1
It seems to me that both main (or formerly “main”) System parties are living in a world of delusion in which, after events or scandals or propaganda attack ads, the disenchanted British voters will ditch their new-found support for Reform and the Greens, and will return to the old comfortable (?) fold as Con and Lab voters. Not going to happen, in my view. The old loyalties and habits have been shattered by the betrayals by both Lab and Con (and their palpable incompetence, as well).
Andrew Neil is right. About absolutely everything.
When leaders start treating elections as optional…
They usually discover too late… that voters stop treating them as legitimate.
So the knackers yard boiling pots are warming up nicely for Starmer.
[“NEW: The Government is set to announce the “biggest animal welfare reforms” in a generation – Ban puppy farming by reforming dog breeding rules – Ban electric shock collars on pets pending a consultation – Ban trail hunting amid concerns it is being used as a smokescreen for illegal fox hunting – Introduce humane slaughter rules for farmed fish to prevent avoidable pain during killing – Phase out colony cages for laying hens, which restrict movement and natural behaviours like nesting and perching, and pig farrowing crates, which confine mother pigs and stop them turning around after giving birth – Ban snare traps that can catch pets and cause suffering for animals – Reform the use of carbon dioxide to stun pigs after evidence it causes distress and suffering – Ban shooting hares during the breeding season (roughly from February to September) so young hares are not left without mothers.”]
For once, I thoroughly approve of all the new government measures (re. animal welfare) but, as tweeter Sophie Meaden says, both Muslim halal and Jewish kosher slaughter must also be banned.
Naturally, Starmer-stein’s government would not ban “Semitic” forms of slaughter, because 1. this is a totally “occupied” Labour Friends of Israel government which 2. in terms of numbers of actual votes is dependent on UK-resident Muslims.
I might add that I suspect that these (otherwise welcome) animal welfare measures are being brought in partly to —so to speak— shoot the Green Party’s fox, and cut some support ground from underneath the Greens.
I genuinely can’t understand a word she says and that’s not me being cruel when I say that.
The comedy industry has been absolutely destroyed due to the Marxist ideologies being pushed throughout the West.
Quite. By the same token, while I am sorry for those with disabilities, I oppose the near-worship exemplified by the Paralympics. The Olympics are supposed to be “Faster, Higher, Stronger“, so having a kind of parallel for-the-disabled sports-fest does not seem to be quite right, though I take little interest in sports anyway, so that is not a major issue for me.
As to comedy, I have no idea who the featured individual is (or what she is saying, as tweeter Sophie Meaden says) but Ms. Meaden’s view is surely correct.
There is a kind of madness abroad in this country now. It is seen in various realms, and was very obvious during the truly ridiculous and absurd “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic of 2020-2022. Examples: the range of ludicrous “measures” taken (facemask nonsense, “social distancing”, “furlough” payments, fraudulent business loans or grants, the toytown police of the toytown police state checking people’s shopping, and arresting people out of a drive or a walk or sitting on benches at the seaside).
Mad. All mad. Oh, and who could forget the ridiculous “clap for the NHS” nonsense?
As to comedy, it dies when the State, or the System, mandates what cannot be said, or who can or cannot be laughed at. Thus the Soviet Union had a magazine called Krokodil, supposedly satirical, but it could only laugh at approved targets, so not the CPSU (Communist Party), not socialism as a system etc. The same thing has now happened (since the early 1990s) in the UK. Example: the lame Have I Got News for You show. Private Eye magazine, too.
No comedian who wants to be on TV or radio, or even in theatres, can make fun of Jews, blacks, or a range of other groups or events or types.
We now have an ever-tightening noose of censorship. The “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127, for example, is frequently abused by the malicious Jew-Zionists such as, in fact mainly, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.
In fact, the Jewish/Israel lobby is behind much, though not all, of the anti-free speech activity in the UK. The Muslim element too, though much less so. Then there is the pervasive “political correctness” or “woke” influence.
I have a few good cartoons illustrating all that but, because they featured as Prosecution evidence in my 2023 free speech trial, I prefer not to republish them at present. Q.E.D.
Poll by @LordAshcroft (not British Polling Council member) in Mail on Sunday has Reform 25% -2 Con 22% +2 Green 19% +1 Lab 18% nc Lib Dem 10% -1 11-15 Dec, change since Nov pic.twitter.com/YgP9t7N2wU
Somewhat different from other polls of the past few months. Translates to a Commons with about 283 Reform UK MPs (about 30 short of an overall majority), Cons 111 (far better than all other recent polls; not far short of their present position; and they would be the Opposition, if not in some kind of compact with Reform, which would be not unlikely), 64 Lab, 60 Greens, 50 LibDems, and 44 SNP [etc].
Lord Ashcroft’s polling has been accurate in the past. It may just be that the electorate is very volatile at present.
The Labour party’s decision to tie itself to the Netanyahu govt for inexplicable reasons has allowed the Green Party to surge and will lose them their seats in London and all the big cities. What a moral, strategic and political catastrophe that policy has been.
We have reached a crucial turning point. Is it a crime to criticize Jews? Poland has to break free of Jewish thought control by acquitting Gregor Braun. https://t.co/l43XzP4igI
[“Warsaw, Poland — In one of the most politically charged trials in recent Polish history, MP and nationalist leader.@GrzegorzBraun_ delivered a dramatic and controversial defense statement in court. He directly referred to the writings and teachings of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson — whose portrait was displayed in the Polish Parliament — arguing that the ideology expressed in those texts discriminates against non-Jews and violates the Polish Constitution. Prosecutors accuse Braun of hate-motivated offenses and disruption of a religious ceremony during the 2023 Hanukkah event inside the Sejm. His immunity has already been removed by both Polish and European institutions, opening the way for a full criminal trial.“]
Brave words, yet J.K. Rowling often seems to make common cause with the Jewish/Israel lobby, elements of which conspired to have me disbarred in 2016 for 5 tweets (every single one true and accurate, and not one addressed to an individual); later, effectively the same Jew-Zionist lobby had me prosecuted, in 2023-2024, for a few cartoons and comments allegedly posted on this blog. Small parts of a mere 5 daily blog posts, over a period of 3 years, and extracted from literally thousands of pages of blog material, as the woodentopped Hampshire police and the “fat ladies” of CPS Wessex have admitted on their Twitter accounts and websites.
I was sentenced, as noted on those blog posts above, about 18 months ago. My financial penalty (£735 altogether) was one-third crowdfunded by a few generous donors, the rest paid off in several monthly instalments.
My “9-month community order” (nominally “15 rehabilitation days” over the 9 months) amounted in fact to half a dozen or so brief meetings over about 5 months, and with a rather charming young lady from the Probation Service.
Average length of meeting was about 40 minutes; one, I think the first one, was a couple of hours, most were far shorter than 40 minutes (one was about 15 mins). General chat mixed in with a bit of armchair psychology. Naturally, such methods are designed for people (often drunks or drug abusers) convicted of bashing their noisy neighbours, or of having “had it away” with a trolley full of supermarket produce, not for someone accused of having made politically-disapproved-of statements…
In the end, my “probation” (to use the older term) was cut short for reasons that were never explained. I presume that the probation people are swamped by real crime as society slides to destruction, and thus decided that it was pointless (as it was, of course) to have me coming in every few weeks for half an hour.
The free speech trial was held in November 2023, nearly 2 years ago. Sentencing was in mid-March 2024. My last “probation” meeting was in early September 2024, so already over a year ago. It already seems as if it happened years ago.
The aim of the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, via its self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”, one “Slitherman” (shall we call him?), who attended both trial and sentencing, and whom I publicly named and shamed in open court, was to stop publication of this blog by having me prosecuted by a compliant police “farce” and the “Clown” Prosecution Service. That attempt to gag me failed. The blog continued to be published throughout the prosecution, trial, and sentencing process, even on the days of trial; it continued to be published throughout the ~5 month period of “probation” in 2024, and has continued to appear on a near-daily basis since then.

I have noticed, on Twitter, that most of the loonies (“antifa” types, Jew-Zionists, and actual mental cases, the last type almost all also belonging to the first two types mentioned) who attacked me for years, have disappeared from Twitter, and in a few cases off the face of the Earth.
I know that several who conspired against me have died, others may or may not have done, but have disappeared from Twitter, possibly into mental hospitals. Where, I wonder, is, for example, Jasna Badzak, “the Balkan Fraud”? Where is unprofessional NHS psychiatrist (himself suffering from mental illness, as he admitted on Twitter/X) Tim G. Stevens of Essex? Where is Mike Stuchbery? (actually, I know where he is— Stuchbery, now living in Stuttgart, has decamped to Twitter’s rival, “Blue Sky”, where he now posts only occasionally; maybe the German health service gives him better medications).
Just three examples of many. Incidentally, I noticed recently that another pro-Israel crazie, one-time MP Louise Mensch, whose wealthy Jewish husband finally divorced her (though I expect he had to pay through the nose to get rid of her), is back on Twitter/X, after a long period in which she apparently had a further mental breakdown and made up packs of highly-publicized lies about Putin and Trump, which lies were eventually exposed.
Louise Mensch used to tweet about me and even, extremely vituperatively, directly to me (when I had a Twitter account, before 2018). I have blogged about her craziness and malice previously. It can be found via the search box.
You’re clearly right. But that’s where we’re headed. Rapidly.
Quite (both tweets). The breakdown of culture, society, and even civilization itself is a terrible prospect. People need order, but preferably order which does not go so far (except for a brief period of what might be called “social therapy” or “social surgery”) as becoming a dictatorship or, still less, tyranny.
Hitler is usually considered to be, and considered himself, a dictator, yet he recognized that his period of dictatorship, though necessary in the short to medium term, would eventually mellow, after his retirement, and become something milder and less “dictatorial”.
What is usually worse even than outright tyranny, is anarchy (in the sense of chaotic failure of social and political norms, not “anarchy” as understood by, e.g., Kropotkin).
I can see that a kind of social/racial/cultural war is on the horizon, and not only in the UK, but I rightly fear the collapse of society, of its structure and order, of its civilized services of all kinds.

[“If you want to know how utterly insane the UK is right now read this: Last year, a man named Shahidul Haque, 55, who is on benefits, claims he is “disabled” because of “obstructive sleep apnoea” and depression, and cannot speak English, was moved into a retirement home in Berkshire. A retirement home. His rent? £110 a week. A few months later, he brought his 28-year-old wife and two children into the retirement home, claiming he did not know he was not allowed to do this because he cannot speak English and read tenancy documents. After the elderly neighbours complained about anti-social behaviour and sought his eviction, Shahidul Haque said he should not be evicted because it would be a breach of his “human rights”. His lawyers are using the European Convention on Human Rights to try and prevent his eviction. Our “leaders” are giving foreigners who do not speak English subsidised housing in retirement homes for our elderly because they claim to have “depression”. This is insane. This has to stop.“]
I agree that these people should be arrested. But again, what are the free speech limits. Lucy Connolly tweeted "Set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards for all I care. While you’re at it, take the treacherous government and politicians with them". https://t.co/UqbHcq3McS
“Justice” would have been served, under existing law, perfectly well in the Lucy Connolly case had she been given a conditional discharge, or a small fine. No need to imprison her.

Here we see in print, and from the horse’s mouth, Mandelson himself, that Mandelson first met the Jew rapist and Israeli Intelligence agent Epstein via Ghislaine Maxwell, who was obviously herself an agent of Israeli Intelligence (either MOSSAD or Aman, or both); her horrible and evil father, “Robert Maxwell”, is now generally accepted as having been one of MOSSAD’s most important agents over many decades, which is why the Jewish authorities in Israel allowed him to be buried on the Mount of Olives at Jerusalem [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_of_Olives].
The whole Epstein thing was a massive and hugely-expensive operation by Israeli Intelligence. In fact, some msm journalists have asked where did Epstein’s money really come from. That is, Epstein was somehow wealthier than his history suggested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein.
As to why Israel would pay out so much, you only have to look at what is known (tip of the iceberg) about the “Lolita Express” passengers. Several Americans on the Presidential level, many just below that level, some top-level advisers such as Dershowitz. Top-grade intelligence sources, if they could be recruited or tapped. More than that, they were persons able to influence policy, especially U.S. policy at the top level(s). Absolutely top-grade agents of influence, if they could be persuaded or nudged to play ball.

As for “socialism doesn’t work“, that is true on the economic level; it is less easily productive than finance-capitalism. However, that is a narrow way of looking at the question.
“The threefold social order is a social theory by Rudolf Steiner proposing society be organized into three distinct, autonomous spheres: the cultural (or spiritual) sphere (focused on freedom and individuality), the legal/political sphere (based on equality and rights), and the economic sphere (built on solidarity and meeting needs). Each sphere should operate independently but interact, forming a healthy, interconnected social organism.”

“Jeffrey Epstein was a very wealthy man, but exactly how wealthy and where that money came from remains shrouded in mystery.
Newly unearthed emails last week shone light on Epstein’s role as freelance client development officer, acting as a channel between political figures and business titans, greasing up the former with lifestyles they could not afford and the latter with avenues of political influence.
…the questions about the source of Epstein’s wealth have never been fully resolved. He was worth nearly $600m at his death, thanks mostly to two wealthy billionaire clients – Victoria’s Secret founder Les Wexner and, later, Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black – as well as Johnson & Johnson heiress Elizabeth “Libet” Johnson, sister of former US ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson.
Between his collection of lavish homes in New York, Palm Beach and Paris, two private Caribbean islands, two jets and helicopter, Epstein held nearly $380m in cash and investments, according to his estate.
That wealth arrived suddenly. According to associates, until the end of the 90s, Epstein was living in a two-bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side close to the river. It was only when Maxwell arrived from London that his lifestyle was dramatically elevated.
Epstein moved to a townhouse on 68th Street and later to a 28,000-sq-ft mansion on 71st Street, later transferred to him by Wexner in 2011.
Steven Hoffenberg, a former business partner of Epstein convicted of running a Ponzi scheme, claimed that Maxwell’s father, disgraced press baron Robert Maxwell, introduced his daughter to Epstein in the late 1980s.“

Ha ha! Jews are quite funny (without meaning to be) a lot of the time. It’s always “all about them”, in any and all circumstances. For example, Israeli Jews destroying every single hospital in Gaza is simply war damage, and really the fault of those being bombed, but if a hospital in Israel as much as has its windows broken, it’s some kind of evil “holocaust” (and so on…).
A few hundred cowardly Jews with dual nationality leaving their own (supposed) beloved country because they wish to avoid all risk is apparently the same as the 1940 Dunkirk evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force (my own maternal grandfather having been one of those taken off the beaches then) facing possible annihilation; and with the 1940-41 London Blitz thrown in as well! No wonder so many Jews are comedians…

People are always saying how wonderfully talented Fry is. I cannot see it, for all his fame, acting career etc. In Jeeves and Wooster, that wonderful adaptation of P.G. Wodehouse, Fry was admittedly very good as Jeeves, but Hugh Laurie was the star, really. In Gosford Park, Fry’s police inspector ruined, in my view, the atmosphere, by importing a kind of cheap comedy into the film. As for his film about Oscar Wilde, it was nowhere as good (or as historically accurate) as the 1960 film starring Peter Finch, The Trials of Oscar Wilde. Fry’s version (if I recall it aright— I have seen it, though long ago) almost completely expunged Wilde’s heterosexual side [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Wilde#London_life_and_marriage], and said little about Wilde’s life or views outside of Wilde’s obsession with Lord Alfred Douglas and various disreputable youths.
I knew a barrister who met Fry at a wedding, and said that he, the barrister, had been quite shocked at how “left-wing” (a term I myself rarely if ever use) Fry was. Said barrister was himself Labour, though of the John Smith “centrist” (?) tendency. Where Fry’s true sympathies lie is disputed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Fry. I am unsure whether he really has what might be called an ideology. He is, of course, half-Jewish.

Iran’s most deadly missiles may not be capable of interception.
It may be (speculating wildly, so be it) that the Iranians, often though not always noted for their subtlety, have been using their “pawns” (drones and slower missiles) as sacrificial pawns (as in chess), with the idea of exhausting the Israeli supply of ground-to-air defensive missiles. Then, when the Israelis run out of countermeasures such as Iron Dome and Arrow missiles, the Iranians will launch the real stuff…
That occurs to me as I recall the arguably most famous game of the Soviet chess grandmaster Mikhail Tal (a Jew, incidentally), who sacrificed almost every piece he had on the board, even his queen, in order to deliver the final brilliant and inescapable line of moves that led to checkmate (via a minor piece, at that). I think that that game was in 1968 or thereabouts.
Ah. Got it: “Tal vs. Vasily Smyslov, Yugoslavia Candidates’ Tournament 1959, Caro–Kann Defence (B10), 1–0.[33] A daring piece sacrifice to win a brilliancy prize“: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Tal. As I thought, it was against Smyslov.
Looks like my memory is still OK (though I got the date wrong)…
Chess is a rather comforting game. If I have leisure and time, and am not too occupied elsewhere, I should take it up again.

[“Retired US Army Colonel: “Israel’s situation is critical: the Iron Dome has turned into a sieve !” Douglas McGregor: “The situation in Israel is extremely grave. About a third of Tel Aviv is either destroyed or seriously damaged, and I am sure this trend will continue. I am told that a significant part of their aircraft has been evacuated from the country – many planes have been transferred to Cyprus to protect against attacks. Frankly speaking, Israel is in an extremely vulnerable and critical situation. Figuratively speaking, it is “hanging by a thread”. The missile defense and air defense systems will last only a few days. Those who are now in Israel describe to me that the Iron Dome has effectively become a “sieve” – it no longer provides protection.”]

“In 2019, Antifa beat me on the head and face, causing a traumatic brain injury as I suffered bleeding on my brain. As I struggled to get away, they threw drinks in my eyes to blind me so I couldn’t get help. I remember their laughter as I was bleeding from my ear and eyes. I was lucky to survive and recover.
Many leftists on social media are celebrating that someone hurled a drink in the face of @Nigel_Farage today as he was campaigning in Clacton, Essex. They’re reveling in the fear that a victim feels when being hit in the eyes with an unknown liquid—in a country that suffers acid attacks. The celebrations are emblematic of a level of political violence that the left tolerates and desires on their political opponents.“
Perpetrators of violent attacks, such as that in Clacton yesterday, must be punished properly. I doubt whether the present minor judiciary has the will to do that.
Very true. If only, though, the British and French had retained control of the Middle East and North Africa after WW2. No crazy demagogues, no “Israel”, no war…
By my use of Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], a similar result: Labour 488 MPs (majority 326), Con 82, LibDems 43, Greens 1, Reform UK 0, Plaid 3, SNP 14 (and Northern Irish 18).
Almost but not quite a Con wipeout.
I myself still think that <50 is a possibility for the Cons. I concede that the many experts and specialists are against me, but my reasons are as previously blogged:
the fact that few 2019 and earlier Con voters now think of the Con Party and Government as anything other than completely useless;
that there are many (or are there?) “secret” Reform UK intending or possible voters; and
that there are many voters who will vote tactically to sink the Cons, even if many of the same voters hate, despise or fear Starmer-Labour.
A point or so fewer for the Cons, a point extra for Labour, a point extra for the LibDems, and a point or so more for Reform UK, and the Con cadre of MPs would reduce to only 30.
This is no exact science.
I asked a young conservative member of Gen-Z why they refuse to vote Tory. Here's what they said https://t.co/AKx0za82uj
“This is a guest post from an anonymous 25-year-old member of Gen-Z. They live in London. They work in Westminster. And they are utterly fed-up with the dire state of the country.
If you believe the polls then the Tory party is about to be completely rejected by my generation, Gen-Z, the members of which were born in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Remarkably, just 5% of us are planning to vote Tory next month while a staggering 83% are planning to either vote Labour, Lib Dem, Green, or SNP.
But as one of those few right-leaning Zoomers, let me tell you —even that 5% figure is deeply misleading. Why?
Because, as Matt pointed out on Twitter/X, one enormous problem facing the Tories today is not just the remarkably low number of Zoomers who are planning to vote Conservative; it’s that the few Zoomer conservatives who do exist are also utterly fed-up and frustrated with the party and want to see it completely obliterated.
And why do they feel like this, exactly?
Well, consider my own story.
I’m writing this at 3am in the morning and I have less than four hours before I need to get up and start my morning routine for work.
But, once again, the neighbours who live downstairs, below my flat, have decided to have another all-night party. And unlike me, they don’t have to wake up for work.
Because, unlike me, they don’t have to work.
They qualify for social housing; their rent is subsidised by the large and rising amount of council tax I am forced to pay each month —on top of ruinous income taxes, national insurance contributions and student loan repayments.
The majority of the tenants in my housing block are unemployed; I see few of them leaving the house for work in the morning.
My interactions with them are limited to hostile glaring mixed in with the occasional attempted mugging. On the rare occasion I have female company I have to escort my dates to and from the bus stop to stop them being sexually harassed.
What scraps of my salary the State allows me to keep are eaten up immediately by rent. I pay almost half my post-tax income to live on an ex-council estate in Zone 3, London, with the smell of weed continually hanging in the air.
Unless I achieve an income of more than £200,000 it will simply be impossible to secure a mortgage on a house the same size as the one my parents bought in 1989.
My friends work in high-powered finance and legal careers but, like me, struggle on with flatshares well into their late 20s, if not their early 30s.
They are spending the best decade of their life working until midnight seven days a week for the chance to attain the same middle-class lifestyle their parents achieved much earlier in life.
The reward for being wildly successful financially in 2024? To live in a semi-detached house that was built for unskilled professionals in inner London a century ago.
And that’s not all …
If I decide to have children, which you might think ought to be encouraged given the demographic crisis facing Western nations like Britain, I will have to contend with extortionate childcare costs, or deprive my household of a second income.
Renting a three-bedroom flat in a safe part of London will cost in excess of £3,000 a month; my children will have to grow up in far more cramped conditions than I did, most likely having to share a room and perhaps dodging stray bullets.
The only feasible route out of this incredibly depressing situation is to leave the city I grew up in and commute two hours both ways from a town I have no local connection to —where I have no friends or family living nearby.
Even with cheaper housing, I will still have to send my kids to local schools where they will be bombarded with relentless propaganda about how to ‘change their gender’, acknowledge their ‘whiteness’, and apologise for the British Empire.
It is certainly true that previous generations of young people faced more challenging circumstances. I am not (yet) being asked to walk across No Mans Land and into a sea of barbed wire and machine guns.
But it is one thing being asked to suffer for a cause like liberty in Europe, or to grimace through destitution because of seemingly uncontrollable events like the Wall Street Crash. It is quite another to be economically enslaved to the point of infertility to sustain a growing population of resentful dependents.
And I am one of the lucky ones...”

“A martial arts enthusiast has been found guilty of stabbing his partner to death at their home and then holding a friend captive and driving through a police cordon.
Jason Bell, 42, attacked Nicole Hurley, 37, with at least two knives at their home in Primrose Hill, north-west London in October 2021. Afterwards, Bell turned up at the house of a friend with a large army-style knife and accused him of sleeping with Hurley.”
[The Guardian]

“Partner“? Looking at the two photographs, one has to ask “why?“, or “what was she thinking?“…
The full report is misleading in respect of one of the locations. It seems that the friend lived not in “Maida Vale”, as claimed, but in Kilburn, a couple of miles to the north of where I myself used to live in Little Venice. Even the estate agencies, which have invented a non-area called “North Maida Vale”, would be hard put to claim the location of the murder as having been in any sort of Maida Vale; not even “borders of”, I should think.
Terrible. Life in most places outside London is hard without a car. I have a car now, but when I lived in New Jersey in the early 1990s, I did not drive or own a car (my American first wife had one, though).
Getting into Manhattan by express (non-stop) bus was fairly good and only took about 50 minutes once on board, but to travel crossways, either eastward to the Jersey Shore, or westward to nearby settlements such as South River, was almost impossible, and involved a longish walk and then a ride on the one very occasional local bus, the M15 (I always called it the “MI5”).
Very inconvenient, and that is more or less what is now being inflicted on many rural dwellers in England.

Look at the fundamentals: Russia is still a functioning and indeed flourishing state in most respects. It has an oil and gas sector exporting around the world, other mineral exports, a state income which is huge, and an army which, despite problems, can still fulfil its tasks. Then there are the 6,000+ nuclear weapons. Russia’s domestic economy continues to work normally. Russia has huge potential reserves of both manpower and armaments.
Contrast Kiev-regime Ukraine: 10%+ of its former territories occupied and/or broken away; a population whose very low birth-rate (insufficient to replace losses via deaths) is one factor, another being the 20% of the pre-2022 population now living beyond Ukrainian borders. The country cannot export by sea, its industry is at a near-standstill, and its shambolic and tyrannical Jew-Zionist government cannot replace the 350,000 soldiers killed or hors de combat. It is now having to use press-gangs. Only foreign aid is keeping the war going, the army supplied with arms and ammunition, and the civilian population supplied with money.

If I am not mistaken, that photo of wartime Warsaw shows the main square in the Old Town quarter of the city, which I recall well from 1988 and 1989, when I visited Poland a few times. In 1988, I visited a famous Polish restaurant, the Bazyliszek (Basilisk), a couple of times, once for dinner (I think— that was, after all, 35 years ago), and once for a drink at the bar. That restaurant was in a building near one of the corners of the square.
The square, painstakingly reconstructed in the postwar era from old plans and photographs, now looks as it did before the damage done during WW2 (mainly in 1939 and 1944):
It would be far better to avoid even worse and more widespread devastation in Europe today than to repeat such terrible occurences, but the levers of power are often in the hands of reckless and/or stupid and/or evil “leaders”. You only have to think that Liz Truss, that very mediocre and uneducated woman, was actually Prime Minister of the UK for a short while. Anything might have happened. It still might.

South Africa is nearing 100 consecutive days of rolling blackouts — the longest stretch yet — with more to come as its electricity crisis deepens https://t.co/5mNBbP6dpe
Most of the notionally “independent” African states slid to chaos, corruption and civil war quite quickly after they ceased to be colonies. Why? Because the blacks were incapable of organizing anything once white (i.e. European) people left. There are many examples: Congo/Zaire, Ghana, Nigeria, Somalia, Tanganyika/Tanzania, Zambia etc.
More recently (from 1980) Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, which I myself saw prior to that, in 1977. It continued to function, up to a point, for several years, because a small proportion of the population was still European. Then most left, leaving Zimbabwe a swamp of corruption and near-chaos.
South Africa at one time (1911) had 22% of its population European; by 2010, that had shrunk to 8.9%, and may now be as low as 5%. The black population, under European/white rule, exploded in the 20thC.
After the whites of South Africa gave up their leading role in 1994, they have come to understand that, under black rule, there is no decent life for white people. Many have emigrated; others work overseas while keeping a home of some sort in South Africa. I used to talk at breakfast with a group of South African doctors who worked in the NHS at Exeter (UK) and other places, and who used to stay, as I did at times, at a farmhouse B&B in Devon.
It is not just a question of government. White Europeans ran everything else in the old South Africa. Now, most official posts are in the hands of blacks. Look at the results.
Cape Town very nearly ran out of drinking water (indeed, all water) a few years ago, because the African rulers and administrators had not prepared for drought: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Town_water_crisis. The city was saved only by persistent heavy rain just at the time of greatest crisis; by chance or fate, in other words.
Now we see that South Africa is running short of electricity, in a country where solar power should surely have a leading role.
In other words, South Africa is going (as I always knew it would) the same way as the rest of Africa, though more gradually.
