Another interesting “Matt and Julia” vlog about “the real Iran” (and a few memories of my own)
Persian food can be very nice indeed. I often recall the food prepared by a Persian lady in London, cooked as a kindness for a friend of mine (and hers), an aristocratic lady from East Prussia displaced by both the Second World War and the decolonizing nonsense in the East Africa of the 1950s.
That Persian food was sent across the road, via one of the Persian lady’s adult sons, packed in takeaway-type foil containers. Fantastic stuff.
As to those Persians, they had a lucky escape. The father of the family had been an MP in Iran, was I think strongly connected to the Shah, and had been hanged after the Shah had been deposed. The family lost pretty much everything in Iran, but the lady herself was allowed to leave thanks to some kind of family influence. Fortunately, her two sons were both students at Imperial College in London. A flat in Little Venice had been bought as somewhere for them to live while studying. That became the home for the three of them and their little cat.
Of course, a mansion flat in Little Venice is hardly poverty (the pop group, Bros, were their nearest neighbours), but back in Iran they had had rural estates (near Shiraz, I think) and numbers of servants.
Nice people. They thought that my German friend, by then in her 60s, ate too little, and should be encouraged to eat. They were right: my old friend could not cook, and tended to subsist on bread (she liked, ironically, a Jewish bread with caraway seeds, bought locally), eaten with butter and a lot of salt, and washed down with lemon tea or sparkling water.
I still remember how nice the Persian food, cooked by that Persian lady, was. My friend used to share it with me, if I were around when it was delivered.
Small world: I was dining at the Persians’ one evening, for the first and last time in fact, in company with both my German friend and her young (20-something) step-grand-daughter, when the subject of the contemporaneous Darius Guppy trial came up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_Guppy]. The Persian family had known Guppy as a small boy, Guppy being half-Persian; the Persian lady referred to him as having been “a nice boy”.
Many years later, about 24 years in fact, in 2017, I gave a half-hour political-legal talk at the then-popular London Forum. Afterwards, who should come to to me and introduce himself but Darius Guppy. A personable fellow, who had the interesting knack of being able to appear as if from nowhere, then later disappear the same way…
I did not of course refer to his 1993 trial and imprisonment, but I did tell him about the Persians with whom I had been acquainted and who knew Guppy through having known his mother, a folk singer who was involved with a film that won an Oscar; I once owned one of her albums. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shusha_Guppy.
I mentioned to Guppy that, as an Amazon Top 50 reviewer, I had once reviewed his interesting memoirs, Roll the Dice, on Amazon (that being before the Jew-Zionist lobby had my very popular reviews expunged).
Guppy is or was a great friend of “Boris-idiot” (Boris Johnson), via their Eton and Oxford days.
As said, small world.

“While you are trying to virtually single-handedly finance a proxy war against the nuclear power of Russia, our European partners are already cautiously showing restraint.
And while you approve one package of sanctions after another, thereby destroying our own economy and state finances, the United States and Russia are negotiating the supply of diesel fuel and concluding other agreements that are beneficial to both sides.”]

A lot of chatter about this on Twitter/X and in the mainstream media. In fact, Labour were always likely to win it. Labour has held the seat since its creation in 1983, and the Labour vote has never dropped below 43.2% (in 2005); the peak was 70.1% in 2017, when Starmer was the candidate but (ironically) Corbyn was Labour leader. Starmer’s vote in 2024 was 48.9%. Yesterday’s Labour vote was 45.2%.
The nearest any challenging party has come to beating Labour there, until yesterday, was in the 1987 General Election, when the Conservative Party managed 31.1%.
On that basis, the Green Party 32.8% yesterday was a fairly good result, in fact, particularly in view of the fact that they only scored 10.4% in 2024.
The British nationalist parties never stood a chance. The non-white electorate in the constituency is about half of the total, and the official “white British” electorate no more than a third.
To stand in a by-election where you know that you are going to get less than 10% (or 5%) of the vote is utterly stupid, and gives the impression that you are a fringe or crank party.
Had I been the leader of any of those (conservative) “nationalist” parties, I should have boycotted the by-election and made known the reason why. In fact, that by-election is a laboratory test-tube showing why, as time goes by, there can be no serious electoral road for the (real) British people. The importation of tens of millions of non-whites has, in effect, killed not only free speech but also any (worthwhile) democracy in this country.
The main conservative-national parties standing scored only 5.9% (Reform) and 2.5% (Restore). The reason, I think, is that most of the white/English/British voted with their feet and boycotted this farce and circus of a by-election. Turnout was a fairly pitiful 38.8%, not that much more than a third of voters bothering to vote.
The Conservative Party vote was poor, about the same as in 2024 (around 7%). As recently as 2019, and previously, the Conservative vote was always in double figures in that constituency, and has been almost 30% further back in time.
Well, there it is. “Democracy” has spoken (we are told). The inhabitants of Holborn and St. Pancras now have an MP who is an ignorant Somali woman of some kind.
The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which Amendment was adopted in 1791, forbids “cruel and unusual punishments“. Like much of their Constitution, in practice it is a bad joke. Death by every slow and/or painful method: slow gassing, the electric chair (which can take 6 minutes of being, in effect, fried alive), and now the medicalization of capital punishment via the use of a series or cocktail of drugs, which sounds painless but is anything but. The latest ghastly farce in the USA just proves the point yet again.
I do not know why, if the Americans insist on retaining the death penalty, they do not simply give the convict a massive dose of morphine. I am not a medical man, but surely that would do the job quickly and painlessly? Maybe the American public, or many of them, would find that too painless and swift? Or is my medical knowledge incorrect? I cannot say for sure.
Of course, the Americans also use other punishments or methods not used in (?) other civilized states (shackling in transit etc).
I have seen a whole group of shackled prisoners in a Federal court building in the USA. All black. According to the F.B.I. agent standing with me, all murderers, and all lifers. A very sombre scene. All other people in the wide hallway stopped as the group, all handcuffed, all hobbled, all shackled in line together, passed through in total silence. As said, very sombre, and very sinister.
Speaking personally, I was always against the death penalty, and to some extent still am, but I see so many reports now in the UK of horrible murders and also rapes etc, that I think there may be a case for bringing back that penalty for some murders and other crimes, depending on the nature and quality of the defendants as well as the crimes. At least for a period of time. If so, using some quick method, possibly sometimes in public.
I notice that, in Belarus, a father who (with his equally wicked wife) starved, tortured, and finally killed his own 3-y-o son, was sentenced to death, which has been carried out in the manner prescribed by their law— Soviet-style, a bullet in the back of the head. The woman involved was sentenced to 25 years (probably without parole); apparently Belarus, like Texas long ago, never executes women.
What is more brutal, that Belorussian bullet, or what happens in the USA? Were I unfortunate enough to be in such a position, I should guess the American method(s), and so (if given the choice) might prefer the Soviet way of doing things…
I have only known one person, I think, who actually witnessed (at the scene, not on TV or online) an execution in the judicial sense. That execution was swift, consisting of a sword stroke cutting off the head in a split-second, and was carried out in public, in 1960s Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

[“A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.
This is her story of giving gratitude. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
May you be so fortunate … To be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.
And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.“]

[“Netherlands Admits Military Reserves Have Been Depleted Due to Aid to Ukraine
According to Military Watch Magazine, the Dutch Ministry of Defense has concluded that military assistance to Kyiv is undermining the combat readiness of the Dutch armed forces and making it more difficult for the country to fulfill its NATO obligations.
The ministry has declined to publicly disclose which NATO targets have been postponed or affected, or to provide details on the current combat readiness of individual Dutch military units. The admission highlights the growing tension between supplying Ukraine with military equipment and maintaining national reserves at levels considered necessary for a major conflict.
According to the ministry, by February 2026, the Netherlands will have provided Ukraine with approximately €11.7 billion in military assistance. The publication also claims that weapons stockpiles across NATO’s European members have been severely depleted, with shortages particularly affecting artillery ammunition, air-defense missiles, anti-tank weapons, and armored vehicles.
Europe is discovering the hard way that weapons sent abroad don’t magically regenerate back home. The bill for rebuilding those stockpiles could be just as serious as the bill for the aid itself.“]

Must add up to a massive amount. When I was a barrister, I drafted, at times, contracts for the transhipment of oil from the Middle East to black Africa. Each shipment was worth over USD $80M, and that was over 20 years ago. So maybe USD $150M today. If Iran is getting 20% of the value of every shipload, each one is worth perhaps USD $30M in “transit fees” to Iran. There might be several in a day even under present conditions.

Boris Johnson, who just the other day claimed he hadn’t started a war, has returned to his old tune: “We must continue bombing Russian oil refineries and power plants. Ukraine is on the verge of victory. Don’t slow down the sale of weapons (to Kyiv).“
Only three countries still believe that Ukraine is capable of confronting Russia: Great Britain, France, and Germany. However, even within those countries, voices are being heard that the conflict, in which Zelensky must remain in power until 2028, is costing them too much.
According to Western estimates, Ukrainian armed forces’ air strikes on Russia in July alone cost them $11 billion. Zelensky is spending a lot of money on these attacks, but his Western sponsors are not satisfied with the results. Everyone understands that Ukraine is losing.”]
There is no way of either proving or disproving my belief that “Boris” Johnson is getting paid large amounts offshore by the Kiev regime and (ipso facto) its backers (to promote the regime by promoting the Western support for it). It stacks up quite well logically, though, knowing what we know of the Kiev regime, its leading members, and the character of Johnson himself.

Quaere: at what point does a supposedly “liberal” “democracy” become effectively an illiberal collegial dictatorship or even tyranny? Also, if a country becomes, in effect, a concealed or semi-concealed dictatorship/tyranny, at what point, if at all, does it then become legitimate to use force to oppose it or to remove it?
Also, will the above questions require different answers if the said collegial dictatorship is, whether deliberately or via its own incompetence, running a once-great country into the ground?
A topical subject at present, nicht wahr?
Talking point
I was just looking at a blog post from 2019, in which I examined the several main contenders for the Conservative Party leadership contest of that year and, therefore, contenders to become Prime Minister.
The post has had many hits over the years, and right up to today. Re-reading it (I also took the opportunity to post an update, the first it has had since 2019), I think that my assessments of the various personalities still stand up pretty well:
Would translate to a Commons with about 318 Labour MPs (just short of a majority; about 8 short); 162 Reform UK MPs; 69 LibDems; 52 Cons (less than half of their MP cadre at present); SNP 23 [etc].
So a Labour-LibDem coalition or arrangement, or maybe a Labour-SNP one. Weak government that may play into the hands of social-nationalism.

[“No Money”: The European Union Has Left the Kyiv Regime Without Promised Funds
The Kyiv regime is facing another catastrophic shortage of funds for the purchase of weapons, according to Politico. In the next two months, it urgently needs to find at least $27 billion to fill the gaps in the defense budget.
Finding itself in a desperate situation, the regime is openly pressuring Brussels, demanding that loans be disbursed early. However, the current deficit is entirely the fault of the “Banderites” themselves: they have spent all the remaining funds while Hungary was delaying the approval of the next tranche. Nevertheless, the amount that Zelensky needs has not been found by the European bureaucrats. Brussels has only approved $6.6 billion, and not all of these funds will go directly to the Kyiv regime.“]

[“American journalist Tucker Carlson has renewed his criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, arguing that the continuation of the conflict reflects the decisions of Ukraine’s leadership rather than the wishes of the Ukrainian population.
Carlson claimed that Ukrainians are being “held captive” by an unelected president, while accusing the government of restricting civil liberties, targeting religious institutions and imprisoning critics.
He also argued that continued U.S. intelligence support to Kyiv is one of the factors allowing the conflict to continue.
These are Carlson’s claims and include disputed assertions that require independent verification.
Carlson’s argument is straightforward: the battlefield may be in Ukraine, but he believes Washington still has a hand on the map.”]
The Western msm portray “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) as some kind of embattled democracy fighting an evil empire, but the reality is that Ukraine, as it now is, is a brutal, corrupt, shambolic dictatorship running a fake state, in fact a non-state, which would collapse within weeks were Western money, arms, and ammunition etc to be withheld.

One thing I've noticed this morning. A number of the Reform bots are starting to cite Kemi Badenoch's Nigerian heritage. This comes 24 hours after senior Nigel Farage ally Raheem Kassam branded her a "Nigerian Scammer". It's clearly part of a co-ordinated strategy.
Nigerian heritage? Forget “heritage”— SHE IS NIGERIAN. She was born in 1981 in London to two Nigerian parents, left with them at once (within days) for Nigeria, then lived there, and in the USA, for 16-17 years before relocating to the UK.
A mere passport has no relevance at all. In fact, the passport law was changed only months after Kemi Badenoch was born. Were she only 6-12 months younger, she would not even be entitled in law to a British passport.
How bloody pathetic! You do know most of 1933-1945, was pure Zionist bullshit propaganda? There never ever was a need for world war, but they made sure it happened. How else were they to get Palestine?https://t.co/rya3wpOvpC
Germany is still controlled or strongly influenced by the Jewish/Israel lobby, and by Israeli/MOSSAD/American-Jewish interference in its affairs. That comes out very strongly in its persecution of aged members of the SS and other organizations from before 1945.
Someone 105 now would have been born in or about 1921, so in 1941 would have been about 19-20, and only about 23-24 when that war ended.
Recent very old defendants of that type have been rear-echelon sentries, typists, office bods etc during the latter part of WW2.
The vindictiveness of the Jewish/Israeli element (which is behind this) seems ludicrous to an Aryan or European eye, of course. “They” have a mindset which is totally different to our own.

[“A father-of-two has become the first man jailed following an anti-migrant protest in Portsmouth after admitting throwing a plastic bottle and swearing at police.
Del Somerville, 42, was given a two-year sentence after previously pleading guilty to violent disorder at the city’s crown court following the overnight protest near Eastney Marina on 6 September.
Hundreds of protesters gathered after a boat carrying about 120 migrants was brought ashore near Eastney Beach.
He pleaded not guilty to a separate charge of assaulting a police officer, relating to an incident on 11 September, and will face trial at Portsmouth Magistrates Court at a later date.“]
Defiance threatens the authoritarian state, the crimes of illegal migrants don't. That's the craven logic behind the sentence.
Truly, as long as their power is maintained, the UK government doesn't care how many Britons are raped, maimed, or murdered.
[RUPERT LOWE:”A father of two children has been jailed after throwing a plastic bottle at the police and swearing at officers during the illegal migrant protest in Portsmouth.
Sentenced to a two year prison sentence.
The judge said it would act ‘as a deterrent’
Now, let me be abundantly clear.
I do not believe that any violence against the police is acceptable.
I also do not believe that a two year prison sentence is appropriate, particularly when we are allowing paedophiles and rapists to roam our streets because of a supposed lack of prison capacity.
The BBC reports the man ‘said he had found the bottle on the ground and was going to throw it into a nearby bush, but was angry and so threw it up into the air.’
Reportedly, he told the officers to ‘f*** off’ and ‘pointed aggressively’ at them (ITV).
I can understand the anger, to be honest. This was happening as illegal migrants were being ferried into his town.
This sentence is unfair, unjust and morally wrong.
Let’s be honest about what has happened here.
The establishment is making an example of this man to deter others from protesting.
A two year sentence is absolutely outrageous – there are far better ways for him to make right the wrong.
The third world invaders are greeted to luxury accommodation as heroes, yet this man will rot in prison.
It’s not right.”]
I agree with Lowe, except insofar as he is too moderate in his views.
What is happening in this country is an invasion, an invasion of a formerly (and to some extent still) reasonably-civilized land by a horde of backward black/brown untermenschen from some of the most savage and uncivilized parts of the world.
Protests, and direct action, by British people are a natural consequence of what is happening, and against a conspiratorial system of —or within— government which is facilitating the invasion, and has been for decades. Google Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.
If the police act as the goons of an emergent police state, then they cannot expect the British people to treat them with the politesse, still less respect, that our forbears may have.
Assuming Lowe’s facts to be correct, the defendant was rude to the police, pointed at them, and may have thrown a plastic bottle at their (probably armoured and helmeted) ranks.
For that, the defendant was sentenced to 2 years, so will probably be in prison for the next year. Absurdly and unfairly harsh. The maximum that could be passed in the magistrates’ court.
It is arguable that he should not have been charged at all. If he was to be charged, it should been a charge of insulting behaviour, something which might result in a fine or a suspended sentence.
The sentence passed is akin to one from Ukraine or Belarus rather than one passed by any decent English court.
In my view, both as observer (from afar) of these events and former practising barrister, the defendant, like so many others (eg Lucy Connolly and previously-tried protesters over the past 2 years) made a mistake in pleading guilty (probably on legal advice from some tick-box legal-aid solicitor and/or counsel) to the violent disorder charge.
The fact is that the System is determined to act with utmost ruthlessness and harshness to anyone protesting on the street against the continuing invasion of this country. Look at what has been happening since Starmer-stein demanded such harshness in 2024.
In my view, any credit given for a guilty plea in such circumstances is purely notional. The defendant should have pleaded Not Guilty and taken his chances with a jury (if the matter is one that a jury can hear). In that part of England, he might even have been lucky enough to get an all-white jury (violent disorder can be tried either in “the mags” or at Crown Court; if the latter, a jury trial)…
There is also the point that, to plead guilty is to make things easier for the System. Don’t do it. Don’t play their game. Judges of the sort we have seen over the past 2 years are unlikely to show mercy, or even common sense.
Incidentally, I am not just spouting from an ivory tower. I myself faced trial (in the magistrates’ court) 3 years ago, and for a political offence. I pleaded Not Guilty, but was convicted, being sentenced over two-and-a-half years ago, in March 2024: see
Further thought: almost every day, migrant-invaders are being sentenced (usually to non-custodial sentences) for a wide variety of crimes, including crimes of violence and sex crimes.
I hope that the defendant in this case appeals on sentence and that, in respect of his upcoming second trial (on the other matter, the assault charge), is acquitted by the magistrate.
The judge (I presume a district judge) in this case should be ashamed of himself. A suspended sentence would have been more than adequate.
Translates into something like 318 Labour MPs, Reform 120 MPs, Cons 103 MPs, 58 LibDems, SNP 24 [etc]. So not enough for a Labour majority in the Commons, but easily enough for a Lab-Lib coalition or arrangement.
Hard to believe, and slightly dispiriting, to see that over a quarter of the “British” (meaning UK-resident) population is still willing to vote Labour, but of course the UK is now at least 20% black/brown/other ethnic minority. I think that explains most of that. Were only white, i.e. real, Brits to vote, the Labour support would be nearer to 8% or 12%.
As far as the Cons are concerned, most of their voters are long-term Con voters aged 70, 80, 90, stick-in-the-muds whose intellectual landscape is that of the Daily Mail,Daily Telegraph, and even Daily Express. 20% of the electorate today, but might be 15% or even 10% by 2029.
As far as I am concerned, UK elections at this point are not legitimate, so governments “elected” via those elections are likewise not legitimate.

No. Latest figures show large notional deficits funded by UK transfers.

If our children are not safe contacting the NSPCC, where are they safe?“]
As a matter of fact, I should say that one of the most prominent facts about Britain in 2026 is the widely-held belief that “wishing makes it so.“
I am not only referring to the epidemic of fake “trans” persons etc. You see the syndrome all over the place. For example, the belief that ever-more impressive exam results in schools and colleges mean that students are ever-more educated and/or intelligent.
The same is true of the ever-greater numbers of “graduates”, the same being found everywhere now in low-level retail jobs, call centre jobs, all sorts of poorly-paid, low-skill jobs.
Another example: the belief that Britain is a nation (leave that aside for now) which can face down or successfully fight Russia. That belief requires its believers (retired senior military desk-officers, quite a number of MPs, thousands if not hundreds of thousands of middleaged/elderly Daily Express and Daily Mail readers etc) to believe that a country (the UK) with a very small —and frankly now not very impressive— army/navy/air force, and about 50 at-any-time-usable nuclear missiles can “defeat” (if “defeat” has any meaning in the nuclear age), or at least hold, a country (Russia) 72x the size, with twice the population, with massive armed forces and, most importantly, as many as 7,000 nuclear weapons, some of which cannot be intercepted or stopped.
Another example: that Britain can continue to allow the importation of millions of racially and culturally backward individuals while maintaining the level of, or even improving the level of, society here (cultural norms, services, pay, State benefits, environment etc). It is more than mistaken; it is actually mad, yet millions of people [want to] believe it.
For me, at least some of the pervasive untruth around had its genesis in the “holocaust” farrago spread out since 1945 and particularly the past 40 years. In particular, the “gas chambers” fable.
Untruth has pervaded our society and so poisoned it, and its politics.

Angela Rayner is herself a personification of sleaze (also ignorance).
Farage himself is not particularly popular, not particularly liked or respected. However, as frequently noted on the blog, Farage’s and Reform’s best point is not anything Reform or Farage may do, or may have done, but the state of the traditional System parties. They also are not much liked or respected. People are voting against them, not for Reform or, even less, for Farage himself.
Look at the opinion polls: Reform and Labour both in the low/mid 20s, around 25%. The Conservative Party a few points below that level.
Zelensky has submitted a proposal to the Verkhovna Rada to dismiss Kravchenko from his post as Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Zelensky’s communications adviser Dmitry Litvin told reporters.
Long before the Russian “invasion” of 2022, Ukraine was known as the most corrupt country in Europe. Even in the 1990s.
That prosecutor was probably getting too close to getting enough evidence about Zelensky and his immediate circle.

[“Excl: Whitehall officials are growing concerned about how little time Andy Burnham has spent in Downing Street since becoming Prime Minister.
At a Cabinet Office all-staff meeting earlier this week, First Secretary Louise Haigh even joked No10 was “extremely distressed” by how often the PM was away from the building – before stressing it was because he was “so dedicated and committed” to getting out around the country and delivering his agenda.
Haigh also told officials to “take your cue from the Prime Minister’s ambition”, saying he was “not the kind of politician that has to have a full plan before he starts diagnosing the problems in the country”.
She urged civil servants to bring forward ideas “no matter how risky or politically unpalatable it seems” and to “put it in front of us and let’s thrash it out”.]
Ah. So Burnham is “so dedicated and committed to getting out and around the country and delivering his agenda” yet actually has no real agenda, so what his travelling around really means is his showing off and spouting meaningless hot air. Pathetic.
Also, if this latest government of clowns has a supposed or worked-out “agenda”, why would they be asking civil servants to come up with ideas? Because Burnham and his cronies have none?
It sounds very much as if the mindset is “Britain needs a way forward but we have no idea what that should even be, let alone how to achieve it“…
Utterly pathetic.
Further thought: while, in strict British Constitutional theory, there is nothing to prevent Burnham becoming an MP “by arrangement”, then simply taking over as Prime Minister, in the real political world he will not be thought of, by most voters, as really legitimate until and unless he holds a general election.
At present, despite Labour now overhauling Reform UK in some opinion polls, it is quite likely that any early general election would result in Labour losing about half its present 405 MPs. If it were to reduce its numbers anywhere below 326, it will be seen as, and indeed would be, a lame duck government.
That is Burnham’s dilemma. At present, he seems to be against holding a general election, but unless he can pull a rabbit out of the hat soon, Labour will be toast (again).
Labour’s polling numbers will probably start to decline (again) before long.

The consequence of this is that collectivist societies and political forces will always dominate, in the long term, over individualistic and Liberal ones because they have, on average, an intelligence advantage.
The kind of neo-liberal hyper-capitalist individualism that exists on the ‘right’ today is a consequence of dysgenic societies that have facilitated the survival of people who in previous times would have either died or been killed off due to their selfishness and greed.

That tweet is right. People are not going to vote, many or even most of them, and the reason is because they hate and/or despise the parties standing. In the Manchester case, they had no faith, and were right to have no faith, in either Reform or Restore, let alone the System parties.
Why then did Labour win, albeit by getting 47% on a 25% turnout, i.e. by getting only about 12% of all eligible voters’ votes? Simple. “Ethnic” (non-white) voters, and/or public service worker voters.

Instead of monkeying around with legalities and “targets”, it would be more practical to help farmers construct private dams for irrigation, of which many already exist, but many more are needed. However, they cost up to £2M each, and £1M is a quite common cost. I do not necessarily say that the money need be an out and out grant, but some kind of financial incentive is necessary.
