Talking point

The only two factors preventing Britain and other European countries from retaking direct control of Africa, of all of Africa, are

1. socio-political will; and

2. the fact that the (((globalists))) find it more convenient to exploit Africa’s resources via corrupt tiny “elites” in each fake African “state” (and to hell with the environment, the forests, the wildlife, and the African people themselves).

The fact is that European rule would benefit all, not least the ordinary Africans.

Incidentally, it would be a great deal easier than many imagine for Europe to reconquer Africa militarily. Only the two factors already noted make it at all hard.”

[from my blog post of 5 October 2024]

Another talking point from the same 2024 blog post (originally headed “The “fake history” of the 1970s“)

I have blogged in the past about how very many people (including, weirdly, many who were at least in their teens then, and so actually of an age to remember) say, and even perhaps believe, that the 1970s in the UK were some kind of dark age in which the electricity was off most of the time, in which bodies were left unburied by reason of industrial action, in which trains and buses rarely ran, in which rubbish piled up in the towns and cities, in which there was a “three day week” when offices and factories were closed for four days each week, and in which life was generally miserable (for example, food was terrible, they say).

The above-noted fabled dystopia was, we are told, the result of overreaching trade union power and Labour misgovernment.

Where to start?

First of all, the party in power for the first 4 years of the 1970s was the Conservative Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_United_Kingdom_general_election, and of course Mrs Thatcher won again for the Conservatives in 1979: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_United_Kingdom_general_election.

In other words, out of the 10 years, Labour was in power for about 6 years. Labour government was in place from the early 1960s until mid-1970, then from early 1974 until mid-1979.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_1974_United_Kingdom_general_electionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election.

One interesting fact is that, in the 1966 General Election, the “two main parties” (Lab/Con) got exactly 98% of Commons seats on just under 90% of the popular vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_United_Kingdom_general_election#Results.

Compare to 2024: 81.8% of seats based on 57.4% of the popular vote.

In 1966, the winning party (Labour) got 48% of the popular vote, the losing Conservatives 41.9%.

In 2024, Labour got 33.7%, and the losing Conservatives only 23.7%.

The electoral system has become not just unfair but also illogical and ridiculous. It no longer reflects reality.

Reverting to the general situation in the 1970s, the much-talked-about “Three Day Week” only affected, directly, commercial operations (which were banned from using electricity on the other four days). The Three Day Week only lasted for two months. Out of 10 years (120 months).

I saw the Three Day Week firsthand. I was working, aged just 18, as supposed assistant manager in a very small commercial intelligence outfit based in the Strand (London). The office only had 5 people including me, though we did have a network of mostly ad-hoc agents all over the southern and eastern parts of England (anywhere south or southwest of The Wash). Much of the work was in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Essex. The agents were often retired Army officers who, on being contacted, would —eagerly— say something such as “right-oh, old boy. I’ll fire up the Rover and get onto it.”

I must do a blog post sometime about it.

There were, in the early 1970s, strikes by coal miners etc, resulting in a few brief power cuts (“outages”, as the Americans say), but they lasted for a few hours a day, for a few days. Out of 10 years, again.

In the “Winter of Discontent” (1978-79), there were, for a few weeks, situations in some towns and cities whereby rubbish piled up, yes; that much of the “fable” is true, but only for a brief time. As for the “bodies left unburied“, that only applied in Liverpool and Manchester and only for 14 days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent#Gravediggers’_strike.

In fact, though the 1970s had its problems political, social, economic, Britain still had possibilities. The population was still almost entirely white Northern European, new ideas and projects were around or developing (the Milton Keynes conurbation, the Open University, new express trains, cross-Channel hovercraft etc), and the absurd and damaging house-price madness, though it had started, was still in its early stages.

Britain still had a functioning Army, Navy, Air Force (etc), and a police force that mainly did its expected job and was not usually the sort of poundshop Stasi we now see, snooping on or “monitoring” the expression of views and opinions.

Incidentally, the food was OK back then on the whole. Slightly less cosmopolitan, yes, but in the South of England at least, foreign foods such as hummus, taramasalata, olives, Indian, Chinese, etc were ubiquitous. In fact, some food was better and more available back then.

What I find worrying is not only that people who were not there, or were small children, are convinced that England in 1970-1979 was a dark and gloomy place; more that people who were there seem to have substituted, for what actually happened, a kind of folk-tale.

As for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Largan, who was parachuted into the constituency of High Peak (Derbyshire) and served as MP from GE 2019 to GE 2024, he was only born in 1987.

If people cannot recall accurately the 1970s, how much less accurate must be the “memories”, often publicized, of the 1930s and 1940s.

[extract from a blog post of 5 October 2024]

Update to that blog piece:

Former MP Robert Largan, who has, in past years, tweeted about me a couple of times in a hostile manner, and who crowed mightily on behalf of the malicious Jew-Zionist pro-Israel cabal, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, when his own constituent, Alison Chabloz, was imprisoned for having (notionally, supposedly) “offended” Jews by having sung songs , lost his Commons seat in 2024. One of the shortest political careers on record, and one unlikely to be resurrected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Largan; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Peak_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

I think that Largan wants to come back as MP for High Peak, but that will probably prove to be a vain hope. Even were he to be reselected by the Conservative Party (surely unlikely, after his dishonesty during the 2024 campaign— see Wikipedia), the Conservative Party “brand” is ebbing away to nothing nationwide. Largan’s only hope would be to join Reform UK, and then hope to be selected as their candidate for High Peak. Very unlikely, though “never say never” in politics.

Incidentally, on that same blog post from last October, I noted Matt Goodwin’s excited tweet about how Reform UK had reached its highest-ever opinion poll level— 20%! Here we are, just under a year later, and Reform is at about or as high as 35%, and rarely goes below 30%.

Further talking point (from a blog post published in September 2024)

The Second World War was disastrous in many ways: including the destruction of the German Reich; the reinforcement of Stalinism not only in the Soviet Union but also across both Eastern and Central Europe; the huge human and animal cost in terms of death, injury, and other harm; the destruction of the very concept of “Central Europe” [“Mitteleuropa”] for nearly two generations; the collapse of the civilized European empires across Africa, Asia, and elsewhere; the huge environmental, wildlife and human cost of decolonization; the near-squeezing-out from Europe of European-centred ideology between American finance-capitalism and Marxist-Leninist Sovietism; the 1948 establishment of the state of Israel, and the consequent increase of Jewish wealth, influence and power in the world generally; the shrinking proportion of white Northern Europeans as against the general population of the world.

Today, we again stand on the brink of European and “world” war. If it were to happen, and whether it were to start in the Middle East or Eastern Europe, or even in the Far East, it would be more disastrous in its consequences even than were the previous two “world” wars.

Statesmen and political leaders of all existing states must pull back from the brink.

The situation today, a year later, is more or less the same, though arguably even more perilous.

Further talking point

The label “genocide” matters little. What matters is what the Israeli Jews are actually doing in Gaza, and that is bad enough.

Sliding standards in “diverse” Britain

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14986419/Students-university-Es-level-Government-diversity-targets.html

Students with A-level grades as low as three Es are being enrolled at universities to hit Government diversity targets, data reveals.

Figures from admissions body UCAS show many top universities…are accepting severely underperforming students in a bid to fulfil equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) targets.

The practice has become widespread across the sector after the Government-sponsored Office for Students (OfS) regulator urged universities to be more ‘ambitious’ in ‘reducing inequality’.

Typically, universities let in students with lower grades – making a ‘contextual offer’ – if they reveal on their UCAS form that they suffered disadvantage. A handful also take into account race or gender.

[Daily Mail]

This is how standards across the board in society start to slide. Not dramatically. Gradually. A gradual acceptance of the inferior. You see it everywhere now. Academia, including both universities and schools. The Bar. The Church of England. MPs (of all parties in Parliament). “Journalism” (newspaper scribbling). Administration generally, both public and private.

Denmark, a sick society

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14986043/I-gave-daughters-pony-zoo-fed-lions-no-regrets.html

When Pernille Sohl was faced with the upsetting and difficult decision of what to do with her daughter’s ailing pony, she could’ve taken it to the vet.

But instead, the Danish mother decided to travel to the local zoo to be fed to the lions. 

The 44-year-old took the pony along to northern Denmark’s Aalborg Zoo, one of the country’s biggest tourist attractions, to dispose of the family pet.”

[Daily Mail]

Whatever the logical justifications, that strikes me as cold and sick.

Incidentally (and, today, typically), the Mail’s report is only semi-literate. Look at the second paragraph/sentence for further proof, if more were needed, that the 20-something scribblers now called “journalists” cannot write English properly. That sentence makes it seem that the woman decided to go to the zoo to feed herself to the lions!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14986431/Police-investigating-door-cam-cop-openly-admitting-thought-forces-Big-Brother-tactics-wrong.html

“Police have been condemned for seeing a father at home to ‘warn’ him about attending a protest against illegal migrants – despite one officer apologetically admitting that the visit was ‘b*******’.

Two West Midlands Police officers visited the man in Coventry to hand him a leaflet about ‘correct’ behaviour expected at public demonstrations.

But one is in trouble after door-cam footage recorded him calling the visit ‘b*******’ and adding: ‘It’s not something I agree with, but I’ve been asked to do it.’

The officer says he has been sent to give him a leaflet. He adds, laughing: ‘It sounds daft, so I apologise, and it’s really woeful. It’s not something I agree with but I’ve been asked to do it.’

[Daily Mail]

That is akin to what happened to me about a year ago. A uniformed policeman came to my door and confronted me with a print-out of some alleged tweets, while explaining that there was “no need to worry” because the matter had already been “NFA’d” [“No Further Action”].

The tweets were not very literate, very much not similar to my own writing style, and seemed to be a criticism of someone (as far as I could see, unnamed).

The policeman would not let me examine the alleged tweets in detail once I had explained to him, in terms, that I had once had a Twitter account but that Jews had had me expelled in 2018, and that the last time I had tweeted anything was therefore in 2018. In other words, the alleged tweets could not have been from me.

I presumed at the time that that incident had been triggered by yet another false accusation or complaint by some Jew, as has happened to me several times over the past decade or so. I still think so, but heard no more from the police about it.

So that policeman had completely wasted his time coming to see me about alleged tweets which were anyway obviously not unlawful (and therefore had been binned as requiring No Further Action by the police). So why even talk to me?

Incidentally, I was unable to see my name anywhere on that document, in the brief seconds when I looked at it. I have no idea why the police even thought that it had anything to do with me (assuming that they did in fact think that).

It is hard to overestimate the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright on American domestic architecture in particular. I once had a girlfriend in Tampa, Florida, who lived only one or two roads away from one of his more ordinary houses built for private clients.

Zelensky is only a player in the war because entirely propped-up by American, UK, and EU money, arms, ammunition, medical supplies etc. A puppet, albeit a loud and unpleasant one.

[“Polish political scientist Wilomski on how Ukraine cannot even play to a draw with Russia: Great Britain, France, Germany and Ukraine have presented an alternative plan to Putin and Trump to end the war. If I had not regularly followed the news from the front, I would have concluded from this plan that Ukraine, if not winning, would at least play to a draw. This is completely unrealistic, a distortion of reality, a utopia and a dream. I believe that Trump should ignore Western leaders and make peace with Putin, ignoring the unrealistic European living room.“]

[“Zelensky will do everything to prevent a peaceful resolution of the conflict “He does this because he profits from the conflict and justifies the absence of elections with military actions. The USA needs to understand – a change of power in Ukraine through elections is necessary”, said Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksandr Dubinsky.

He believes that the leaders of France, Italy, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Finland, as well as the leadership of the European Commission, are once again trying to disrupt the peace process. “Globalists demonstrate negative subjectivity: they do not know how to build their own, but they destroy others’ peace efforts”, he added.“]

We must step back from a devastating conflict that might take our civilization back tens of thousands of years. The firtst thing to do is to cut of arms, ammunition, and money from the Zelensky regime.

Genuine humanitarian aid to Ukrainian families is acceptable, despite the fact that it also, to some extent, helps the Kiev-regime war effort. Humane behaviour needs to survive in war.

You can see in that Scandinavian Airlines System [SAS] TV ad that the destruction of people feeling good about themselves, their history, their culture, is not confined to Britain, France, Germany, but is still being pushed in Sweden, Denmark etc. Who is behind it, ultimately? Three guesses (“them”)…

See:

Thus we see the constant pro-immigration propaganda across Europe.

People are fighting back in various ways, sometimes via political parties and elections, sometimes via direct action, and even on the individual level, as we saw in Norway quite a few years ago.

Maybe, but Reform is currently running somewhere between 28% and 34%. That is really all it needs to triumph, in the absence of one really strong opposing party. At present, the Labour Party is running between 22% and 25%, while the once-great Conservative Party languishes somewhere below 20%, most recently 15%.

It may well be that the younger voters, the teens and twenty-somethings, will not much favour Reform, overall, but many of that age group do not vote, a trend likely to stay in place while the System parties are so uninspiring or even despised.

If Reform has a ceiling of 35% or even 30% (and we do not know as yet whether that will prove to be the case), that will probably still be enough to give Reform a Commons majority, looking at where the other main/System parties are.

It seems to me unlikely that the Conservative Party can ever recover, because its demographic and ideological bases are eroding daily. To get from 15%-19% public support, where it now is, to the —at lowest— 28% which might give it a Commons majority, is unlikely. Indeed, under Nigerian chancer Kemi Badenoch, its share of potential general election votes seems more likely to decline than to increase.

As to Labour, despised, held in contempt by many, but with support still from the ethnic minority blocs, and from the public service employees, particularly NHS people, who alone number in the hundreds of thousands:

“England’s NHS is the largest employer in Europe, with one in every 25 adults in England working for the NHS.[46] Nursing staff accounted for the largest cohort at more than 330,000 employees, followed by clinical support staff at 290,000, scientific and technical staff at 163,000 and physicians at 133,000.” [Wikipedia]

That is the NHS in England, i.e. excluding Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland.

A significant voting bloc, and mostly voting Labour.

Labour is currently running at public support of around 20%-25%, but might be able to recover to 30% or higher, in principle. It won the 2024 General Election on only 33.7%, so the devil is, as it often is, very much in the detail.

If both Labour and Reform were around 30%, then both would probably end up with 250-300 seats. Hung Parliament.

At present, though, Reform is still the only game in town, and the others are scrabbling to catch up in a societal situation where nothing seems to be improving for the voters.

Starmer-stein, a little man trying to play it big on the world stage. Meanwhile, the UK is gradually collapsing.

To my mind, it is not whether some form of untidy, messy social/civil/racial/cultural war will break out in the UK, but when, and what form or forms that conflict might take.

The Kiev regime is losing, effectively has lost, on the battlefield, but the BBC, Sky News etc are still feeding their viewers rubbish from paid pseudo-experts (in Kiev, London, Washington) who are still pushing the line that it is Russia that is losing and cannot continue.

I hope that Russia continues until it has occupied all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

All of the Middle East should be subject to a supervening imperium, preferably European.

Had the Second World War not ended so disastrously, the current events would never have happened.

Peter Oborne on how the BBC and other msm are deliberately retailing fake news to the British public:

Still think that you are living in (what people long ago called) “a free country”? Police state.

Yes, at present only a “toytown” police state, but steadily becoming a real one. Tyrannical government, no real Opposition in Parliament (quite the reverse, in fact), the Press, TV, radio almost entirely pumping out System propaganda, the police becoming a Stasi-lite, the law corrupted or ignored, Government wishes (sub nom “guidance” and “advice”, or made-up “rules”) treated by the police as if “law”, while the courts are silent or craven.

At present it is “iron fist in velvet glove”, but for how long?

A debate which has been around for hundreds, maybe thousands, of years. On the one hand, cities are the fount of organized culture and science, along with other desirable things; on the other hand, cities are sinks of dirt, corruption, decadence and evil.

Marx referred to “rural idiocy”, a point of view arguably typically Jewish; the Jews have long been associated with urban life, though not exclusively: there were once plenty of rural Jews in the Pale of Settlement (Western Russia and what is now Belarus), and also in Poland and Ukraine.

On the other hand, writers, poets and thinkers have always existed who were ready to extol the country life, and even life in the wilderness. Virgil, Rousseau and Thoreau among many others.

Perhaps the best way to look upon these questions of urbanization and rurality is to say that there can be decent and aesthetically-pleasing cities, and there can be a rural life with high cultural and living standards. There must be the will to create both.

Not just Gates. All the ultra-wealthy are now buying up huge tracts of farmland. Look at the UK. James Dyson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Dyson] has been building up a huge farmland portfolio across the central belt of England: Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Lincolnshire [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Dyson#Personal_life].

Dyson may soon be akin to the 15thC magnate, Warwick the Kingmaker [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Neville,_16th_Earl_of_Warwick; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Neville,_16th_Earl_of_Warwick#Warwick’s_apex]; Warwick’s lands were said to be so extensive that he could ride through the whole of England, coast-to-coast, or North to South, and never leave his own estates.

Dyson is but one example of very wealthy persons buying lands in huge quantity in England and also Scotland at present. I myself have noticed how few large estates are on sale for long before being bought. I am sure that it is partly by reason of a drive for security. London is becoming a zoo. Who knows how long it will be safe for the wealthy? Also, in circumstances of socio-economic and/or socio-political meltdown—which may develop— rural estates are safer than London houses.

There is also the point that land is a hedging asset in a way that cash and equities (shares) are not. The pound must be sliding from now. Not just the “panicdemic”, but mishandled Brexit/Brino as well. We have just been told that the UK economy contracted by nearly 3% recently. Yes, the Government can borrow to distribute largesse— for a while. Not indefinitely, though.

I was just reading some American anti-Gates Twitter accounts talking about these issues. One fellow said that he has bought 1 acre and intends to build his own home on it and grow things. Fine, though an acre is very little, but, while that may be straightforward in parts of the USA, in Western Europe there are so many factors etc to overcome. God help the man who buys an acre of Devon or Dorset and just builds his own home on it without planning permission etc.

An unpleasant character.

Ha ha! (see below):

Quite funny. First of all, and despite her extensive education (her father was a wealthy timber merchant, of the sort mentioned in Russian literature of the 19thC), Rosa Luxemburg was an idiot. She died before she was able to see most of the devastation wrought by Soviet socialism. Her own ideas were, arguably, typically Jewish, tending to protest, dissolution, revolution and chaos. Even had she been gifted power, she would have been unable to do anything positive with it.

Incidentally, her Wikipedia entry initially describes her as “Polish”, rather than “Jewish”, because of her having been born in Poland [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Luxemburg]! The (((influence))) is very obvious in parts of Wikipedia.

Sad. Give the bird a chance. It can always be prevented from mating, if that is the problem. There’s no do-gooder “conservationist” as extreme as an Australian one (unless it’s a German one).

Ironic, though. A poor pigeon makes an epic journey to Australia and will be killed, but the idiots in Australia have let in every kind of ethnic riff-raff, and those idiots in Canberra and elsewhere pat themselves on the back for being so “hospitable” and “diverse”!

[update: it turns out that the pigeon was probably not from the USA, and so will not now be killed].

Ha ha! Not very polite, but then neither are these self-appointed “facemask vigilantes”.

This is the problem not only in relation to the “panicdemic” but also in relation to other issues which scarcely impact on the very wealthy, and only peripherally on the merely very affluent Westminster denizens, whether politicians or msm drones. Immigration. Poor roads. Poor public transport. Crime (mostly committed by immigrants and/or their offspring). Declining quality of the NHS. Poor pay for most. Poor education.

In fact, the very wealthy don’t necessarily care much about most of those issues. Immigration? No problem (cheap labour inc. domestic help; and no immigrant “communities” live anywhere near them or in the same buildings). Poor rail and roads? No problem (private planes and helicopters, supplemented by chauffeur-driven or other Range-Rovers and other expensive cars). Crime? No problem (private security, expensive alarms etc). NHS problems? No problem (private healthcare, money for medicines unavailable on NHS…). Poor pay? No problem (inherited or other wealth). Poor education? No problem (anyone with wealth can pay for expensive schools and/or private tutors).

Criminal Bar

Listening to the BBC Today Programme, heard a representative of the criminal Bar talking about how members of the criminal Bar are now suffering heavily from lack of work, and so fees. The courts have been closed or largely closed for 6 months. Barristers in private self-employed practice are subject to Lenin’s dictum, “he who does not work does not eat“— Кто не работает, тот не кушает [Кто не работает, тот не кушает]. How well do I remember that! I mean life at the practising Bar (1992-1996 and 2002-2008).

My Bar practice, especially in earlier years, in the early 1990s, was very much illustrative of that. I was in pretty poor London chambers at first, which supplied equally poor work, mostly criminal. I had to hustle, as the Americans say, to get work of my own in various ways, because chambers had poor work and the single Clerk was almost useless.

Before very long (it seemed long at the time), the magistrates’ court and Crown Court appearances gave way to High Court (i.e. non-criminal) cases, mostly judicial reviews, and other non-criminal work (mostly contract cases) in the County Court, as well as Tribunal appearances of various kinds. Quite mixed.

One day, a High Court brief marked at (for preparation time and first day or part) maybe £2,000 or even £5,000 for half a day or a day (this was about 25 or 27 years ago; today, it would be far far more), the next day a tiny magistrates’ court appearance at perhaps £100 (or less), or a “Mention” (a brief Crown Court appearance which might be only a few minutes in length), with criminal legal aid fee officially fixed at £46! The following day? Maybe nothing at all. The week after? Sometimes, still nothing at all! Followed by…whatever. Some weeks, one might do work in the thousands or even more; more usually, the fees would amount to a few hundred or a thousand; not rarely, I would make absolutely nothing in a whole week.

My spending was likewise up and down; one week, Rules restaurant, the River Room at the Savoy, Julie’s in Notting Hill, and a weekend at Cliveden [ https://www.clivedenhouse.co.uk/]. The next week might be an egg-on-toast breakfast at a workers’ cafe, and maybe a loaf of bread and a tin of tuna (plus decent red wine, though!) for the evening, and a walk in Regent’s Park for weekend recreation (depending on luck…).

Reverting to the Today Programme, my reaction (apart from Memory Lane reminiscence) was two-fold. I recognize that a civilized society needs a cadre of criminal defenders. Likewise, they need to be paid at a reasonably generous level to reflect their years of study, continuing study, and their responsibility.

Of course, many at the civil, Chancery and other parts of the Bar are not affected much, or even at all, by “the virus”. Still, the criminal Bar and maybe the family-law Bar are affected severely. A serious problem for society as a whole.

On the other hand, when I was attacked by a malicious pack of Zionist Jews, a persecution which led eventually to my unjust disbarment in October 2016, not one barrister spoke up for me, for freedom of socio-political expression (“free speech”) generally, or for fairness. Not one who had known me personally. Not one who poses as a champion of “free speech”, political liberty etc, and virtue-signals accordingly. Not one.

That being so, I have to admit that, harsh though it may be, I am laughing now as many members of the Bar are suffering, nearing penury and even bankruptcy. What goes around comes around, and I am not going to shed too many crocodile tears for people who failed to say one word for me or for free speech.

In fact, a few barristers, either Jews or very tied up with Jews and/or (probably) dependent on Jewish solicitors for work, tweeted joyfully about my getting disbarred; one or two were even gratuitously rude to me directly, either then or much later. Don’t worry— you happy few have not been forgotten.

Incidentally, the five tweets which resulted in my disbarment were all general comments; not one was addressed to any individual, and they were all true! Example? Michael Gove as “a pro-Jew, pro-Israel expenses cheat“. That was all demonstrably true, yet was deemed “grossly offensive“! Now, of course, we know that Michael Gove is also a cocaine-snorting drunk, who was even filmed not so long ago drunk and/or drugged, and staggering, in the Chamber of the House of Commons! Ye Gods!

…and it would be nice if the young wannabees who now pose as “journalists” could spell, and if they knew the difference between “praying” and “preying”…Stand up, Hull Daily Mail! [Update, 27 November 2020: the Hull Daily Mail must have seen my blog comment (or maybe others complained); they have now replaced “praying” with the correct “preying”…].

The politically-correct toytown police of the UK are unused to real British people standing up for their own and national rights…

Yes, if you made mock of the Jews the way that the Jew Sacha Baron Cohen mocks the Kazakhs, you would get prosecuted (if supported by a well-funded pressure group). That’s no “conspiracy theory”: look what happened to Alison Chabloz…and “they” are still trying to get her.

Incidentally, I know Kazakhstan, having lived there for a year (1996-97).

Everyone in the country should be aware of the conspiracy behind all of this. Resistance must emerge, before we are all just complete serfs of a dystopian nightmare.

Below, a typical System-approved idiot thinks that a “lockdown”, if “strict”, can defeat a virus…

It never seems to occur to that type that “lockdowns”, however strict, merely delay the viral progress without “curing” the situation. Look at Spain now. And France. And Germany.

People who have not thought this through.

What has to be factored in is that anyone who has died within 28 days of a positive Coronavirus test is now deemed to have died of “the virus”, even if, in reality, their reaction to infection was slight and they died of other conditions! It’s mad.

Meanwhile, huge numbers of people are suffering and dying because undiagnosed, untreated, not operated upon etc for non-“virus” conditions. The NHS is limping along not doing its proper job.

In the world in general, only one person in every 8,000 has died from “the virus”; in fact, the statistics are so unreliable that it may be one in 10,000, or twenty thousand for that matter..
