Quite. I myself have little or no interest in team sports generally, and that includes soccer football, including the present World Cup. In fact, I have no idea what is the current state of play.

As the above pictures imply, in the UK, France, most Western European EU states, it comes down to idiots in pubs or sports bars saying “my blacks can beat your blacks“. Not entirely, but mostly.

To some extent, this stuff —World Cup, “lionesses” nonsense etc— is pushed in the UK in the msm as a way of distracting the masses. A long time has elapsed since the Roman Empire passed into history, but the old bread and circuses ploy for keeping the plebs quiet has evidently not lost its utility.

The police are, increasingly, brainwashed drones of the multikulti System society. They are also, often, influenced by courses etc run by the fanatical Jew-Zionist lobby.

Bank branches, post offices, the comfortable old names of retailers known for a century, all being swept away by the globalist finance-capitalist dystopia. Atomization. Alienation.

We need a social-national revolution, a reset of our society, and a “revaluation of all values”.

Also, as Lenin said, “a revolution without firing squads is not worth much“.

[Lenin and cat at Leninsky Gorky, Moscow region, 1922; Lenin lived there, mainly, from 1918 until his death in 1924]
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorki_Leninskiye]

There would be little need for new hospitals, schools or —a fortiori!— prisons without the continuing migration-invasion, and births to non-white women (and to stupid white women impregnated by blacks).

Let that sink in. The Treasury, of all departments, scrapped numerical reasoning tests because blacks, especially (even “graduate” blacks, whatever the term “graduate” now means or implies) were too stupid to pass them…

This country is so screwed, it is sometimes hard to believe.

[“The British people are about to be screwed.

Labour is now openly working with international organisations like the European Convention on Human Rights, the United Nations Refugee Agency, & global multinationals, universities, & self-anointed ‘community groups’ to flood Britain with yet more migrants and refugees while forcing the British people to pay for it.

This is all in the detail of the latest plans.

What you see is not an attempt to ’empower’ the British people. Quite the opposite. It is to transfer power AWAY from the people to distant, unaccountable organisations that exist beyond the realm of our national democracy and to then use these to dramatically increase the number of refugees, asylum-seekers & immigrants coming into Britain.

Even worse, Labour is now doing this despite having failed to stop the boats, fix the borders, and restore any sense of public confidence and trust in the system.

They are now also rapidly backtracking on other plans to tighten up indefinite leave to remain, happily handing the British people a bill of some £600 billion that will be left by giving millions of low-wage Boriswave migrants the right to stay in Britain forever, despite the British people voting for the very opposite of this, in 2019.

Labour say we need more safe and legal routes to help stop illegal migration but this is bonkers. We gave 5 million people legal routes into Britain during the Boriswave and yet another 200,000 illegals still came into the country. Wake up, folks.

The end result, I fear, will be total chaos, accelerating demographic change, instability, and the further erosion of public trust in politics and even democracy itself.

Nobody voted for this. Nobody asked for this. And only a very few fanatics in Labour & the Greens want this.

The only good news is that by veering sharply to the left on immigration and asylum, and by completely giving up on any claim to represent the British people, there will now be enormous space in British politics for a party to connect with the decent majority of hardworking Brits who have had enough of the constant gaslighting and lying in Westminster, and had enough of being treated like second-class citizens in their own country.

And Reform UK will fill this space.

We will speak up for the broad coalition of decent Brits who can now sense and see that they are being completely screwed over, and who know there is nothing “fair” about constantly putting the rest of the world ahead of your own taxpaying citizens.”]

“...about to be screwed“, Goodwin?! Ha ha… There’s no “about” about it! “screwed more“, you mean …

Neither Reform nor Restore will start shooting enemies of the people. Neither Reform nor Restore will start getting rid of non-Europeans from the UK in any numbers sufficient to make a difference.

I have been blogging for 3-4 years about how Labour would pretend to “stop the boats” simply by rubberstamping the applications of millions of blacks and browns to come here on various pretexts: “asylum”, “fiances”/”spouses”, “family members”, “students”, “work visas” etc.

As it is, something like 80% of asylum applicants are already allowed to stay, either straight off or on appeal.

Labour also “promised” to end the use of hotels to house migrant invaders. Yes, and as I foresaw years ago, they are doing it by giving the bastards homes that should be going to British people. Either social housing or privately-rented housing.

The policeman is wearing Polish uniform, though.

[Ah, mystery solved: the detained Ukrainian is indeed in Poland, and the Polish authorities are refusing to extradite him to Germany].

Palestinian Arabs having their homes demolished so that Jews can later take everything over. If only there were a…solution…

True, but it is also true that, if social media (or any online presence) is all you have, then the enemies of the future of Europe can reduce you to virtual isolation by taking away those online accounts. Anything online cannot exist alone. The “real world” matters.

I myself never use the outdated “right”/”left” shorthand, but yes…the twin and connected evils of Zionism and usury must both be eliminated.

As predicted on this blog for years re. Gaza (etc). Gaza reduced to rubble, much of its population killed, the rest forced into desert concentration camps guarded by (Israeli) Jew concentration camp guards and/or mercenaries from elsewhere. Meanwhile, Lebensraum in Gaza, the West Bank, southern Lebanon etc for Jewish settlers, property speculators and other parasites.

Yay! One less Jewish lobby/Israel lobby drone on Twitter/X.

Note her stupid “our communities” phrasing, too.

[“I am going to push back on you: Here are the top 5 threats that as a rear admiral I briefed NATO and our @UKLabour government in 2006 and in public, for which we had to make adequate provision: 1, Uncontrolled migration from North Africa and the Middle East. 2. Returning belligerent Russia. 3. Rapidly rising China. 4. 20, 000 geographically dispersed jihadists (became Islamic State). 5. Collapse of the free world middle class in the face of globalisation and technology. It pissed off the politicians and got me a career-ending interview with my boss.”]

I agree with part, not the whole.

  1. Uncontrolled migration— yes, of course. Our society is well on the way to collapse because of it, and because of the effects of it: the non-whites themselves, and their behaviour, the pressures of numbers on the countryside, environment, housing stocks, rail/road network, crime and public order, even water supplies;
  2. Russia— no. Russia is only a potential enemy because those in charge of Britain and those who own Britain have s**t on Russia for nearly 40 years. Ukraine is not our business. Nothing to do with us. Same goes for the Baltic. Russia has no intention of invading Western Europe, still less the UK. Stop poking the Bear.
  3. China— China is a growing regional and world power, but is far away, and its threat to the UK consists mainly in the number of actual Chinese coming to live in the UK, so refer to point “1”…;
  4. Islamists— yes, a threat, but relatively minor on the strategic level, and would be no threat at all were there few or no non-whites (in this case, Muslim non-whites) in the UK, so again refer back to point “1”;
  5. Collapse of social structure, notably the middle classes— yes. Division of society into a few ultra-wealthy (with a larger cohort of the merely wealthy/very wealthy), and the rest forming a huge and (in varying degrees) downtrodden mass.

Diary Blog, 29 June 2026, including some thoughts around Nature, managed Nature, homesteading, permaculture, rewilding, and potential symbiosis of rurality and advanced technology etc

Nature, managed Nature, homesteading, permaculture, rewilding, and the potential symbiosis of rurality and advanced technology

Some of the background to the Nastya and Village Life videos.

Incidentally, that person makes a very good income via YouTube: see

She gets some direct donations, even if only a few hundred U.S. dollars per month. She seems to have an overall income from online activity somewhere in the region of USD $7,000 per month at present, which is decent, to say the least, especially in Russia, and even if (as I expect) it is taxed at about a third.

I had noticed in some of her videos that she (or her now-ex husband or boyfriend) owned a foreign vehicle; her German kitchen appliances etc were also noticed.

Not that I am criticizing. It is very clever to mix a rural life with an income largely derived from the most up-to-date technical advances, such as online vlogging.

Another example of similar or not entirely dissimilar (though more “eco”-oriented) activity would be Bealtaine Cottage, in Ireland: https://bealtainecottage.com.

https://www.youtube.com/user/BealtaineCottage

As a matter of fact, when I had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018), the lady from Bealtaine Cottage used to retweet my material sometimes; then the same Jewish cabal harassed her, and tweeted to her about how I was supposedly “mad, bad, and dangerous to know“, as Lady Caroline Lamb said of Byron. The Bealtaine Cottage lady then blocked me. Still, I am bigger than that. #MoralHighGround…

Tree cover in Europe varies from a mere 1% on Malta to 74% in Finland. Ireland has only about 11%, so the example of Bealtaine Cottage is well worth both noting and emulating.

The UK is also deficient in tree cover (about 13.5%, though possibly increasing slightly). I believe that, immediately after WW1, the situation in the UK was even worse, about 5%, which is why the Forestry Commission was established in 1919, though at first only to grow conifers for timber production.

If you see old photos and film of England from the First World War era, or even 1930s, the denudation of the landscape in many rural areas is clear.

Ireland, after WW1, had a miserable tree cover of only 1%, incredibly, so even the 11%-12% presently seen is a huge improvement, even more so than in the UK.

Both countries are moving over to Nature-friendly broadleaf planting now.

Bealtaine Cottage has only 3 acres, in fact (though the dense vegetation makes the plot seem larger), and the lady owner has planted 1,000+ trees herself, mostly from seed or from cuttings. The so-called “power of one”:

The “power of one” indeed, but that just emphasises how much more a group, even a small group, can do (in any area of activity). When scaled-up to a whole society doing things, the available power of transformation can be huge (again, in any field of activity, not just ecological and environmental).

The main point made, though, is that you do not, in the end, need a group or organization. One person can do it, alone.

The cartoons below show what can happen when biodiversity is reduced, but not everywhere is going in the wrong direction.

As far as Bealtaine Cottage is concerned, this is what Google AI has to say:

“The lady behind Bealtaine Cottage is Colette O’Neill, a native of Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Born into a large family of eleven children, her journey to creating her famous woodland sanctuary involves a fascinating mid-life reinvention. [1, 2, 3]

Early Life & Teaching Career

  • Education: Colette won a scholarship to attend the Loreto Convent Grammar School in Omagh.
  • Life in London: She spent a major portion of her adulthood living in London, raising her three children. As a mature student, she attended Middlesex University, graduating with honours in education in 1992.
  • Profession: Prior to her ecological work, she spent over a decade working as a full-time schoolteacher in London. [1, 2]

The Escape to the “Good Life”

By 2004, tired of the relentless pace of London life and single in her late 40s, Colette plotted her return to Ireland to pursue a simpler, self-sustaining lifestyle. She spent holiday weekends hunting for property, eventually buying a derelict, roofless stone cottage sitting on three acres of severely waterlogged, north-facing bogland in County Roscommon. [1, 2, 3]

Despite having no plumbing, electricity, or local family support, she moved in alone to prove that one person could restore the poorest land into a thriving ecosystem. [1, 2, 3]

Current Identity & Work

Now in her late 60s, Colette has lived at the cottage for over 21 years and identifies deeply as a writer, folklorist, vegan, and Pagan “Tree Mother”. Her daily philosophy has evolved from standard permaculture into what she calls “Goddess Permaculture”—a deeply spiritual, mindful connection to the Earth. [1, 2, 3, 4]

She is a officially recognized artist by the Irish government and funds her lifestyle entirely through her ad-free YouTube channel, Patreon, and Bealtaine Cottage Publishing, through which she has written and self-published several books, including A Cottage and Three Acres and Walking Between Worlds.”

So there you see the practical aspects. Her 3-acre plot does produce quite a lot of food, probably all or most of what she needs. She even sells any surplus locally. Heating is mainly from wood she has planted, cut, and dried.

Apart from that, the Bealtaine Cottage lady has no direct income via her YouTube channel, (ad-free, by her own choice, which is very principled, in view of the fact that she has 90,000 YouTube subscribers). She could otherwise get maybe £1,000-£1,500 per month from that source alone.

Actually, I am seeing ads on her vlogs, but whether she herself profits from them, I have no idea.

She does get donations (at least £300-£400 per month) via Patraeon (~127 subscribers), and a little more via other online donation sites. Her own books, self-published, must bring in some income, and that is all tax-free in Ireland, because recognized artists, writers etc are untaxed.

I do not know whether she gets any direct income via Twitter/X; maybe not.

At age 65-70, that lady must also get UK and/or Irish state pension payments, and probably also has a small private pension from her decade teaching in London.

My point is that the lady has diverse income streams (and few expenses). The Russian lady, Nastya, is more limited in where her income originates.

Ideally, one does not put all eggs in one basket.

I always recall seeing a TV show, circa 2001, about a black American financial specialist adviser. One person advised was a young man from somewhere like Luton or Bedford who had arranged to hire a jet airliner simulator. He then sold blocks of time for 30 minutes at a go, as a novelty. He was making something like £100K a year in the money of 2000 (you could double or triple that in the money of 2026).

He was offered £650,000 in cash (so over £1.5M in 2026 money) for his business —and was advised to accept— but refused. A few months later, the 2001 attack on New York happened, and BA (who owned the simulator) and all other airlines were told by government not to allow any stray people to use flight simulators. The young man’s business collapsed overnight. He vanished into obscurity, having thought of himself as an “entrepreneur”, when really he had just had one lucky and time-limited success.

Eggs. Basket(s).

Another case. I knew via a friend, a middle-aged Scottish lady who thought she knew everything about finance and business, but in reality knew nothing. Her father had owned a very large business in Scotland; it produced hydraulic pit props (for coal mines), I believe. By the time her father died, in the late 1960s or early 1970s, the National Coal Board was not ordering many such props. The business was insolvent. It employed thousands of people.

The lady of my fairly slight acquaintance was a civil servant in London. She took over despite knowing nothing of business. Her motivation, well-meaning but silly, was to try to keep the business going for the sake of its employees. All that happened was that the collapse, which might have been mitigated, was total, and delayed by only months, not years. All the employees were left with neither employment nor even corporate redundancy payments.

After that, the Scottish lady had some money, and a large mansion flat in St. John’s Wood High Street, very close to Regent’s Park. Such apartments, especially of that size, are now valued in the millions. Even then, the value was very high. She sold it and, with a proportion of the proceeds, bought the one-time private residence of Ribbentrop, from when he was Ambassador of the German Reich in London. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_von_Ribbentrop#Ambassador_to_the_United_Kingdom. That detached house, in Barnes, just south of Hammersmith Bridge, and down a quiet side road, had a pleasant garden with mature trees, at least by the early 1980s when I saw it a couple of times, and a large number of bedrooms.

The Scottish lady rented out at least a dozen rooms to foreign girl students, cash in hand. I suppose that that would have brought in the equivalent (in 2026 money) of a couple of thousand pounds, perhaps more, each week. In cash. Almost certainly not declared to the tax authorities. Was she satisfied with that? No, of course not…

The Scottish lady conceived the idea of a clothes shop with nice fashions for fat women (to put it bluntly). She herself was enormous. Clothes for very fat women were, at the time, apparently hard to find in the UK, so she went to the USA to source stock.

She actually mortgaged her house in order to launch this doomed venture. A shop was leased, in Marylebone High Street, and its name emblazoned above the doors— Largesse. Maybe not a very diplomatic name…

I myself, then in my mid-twenties and not yet embarked on my law degree, actually slept on the shop’s floor overnight once or twice, because the burglar alarms had not been installed.

Anyway, suffice to say that that shop failed, spectacularly, and the lady eventually died, about a decade later, effectively and maybe actually bankrupt.

Lesson? Self-knowledge prevents too-ambitious an undertaking. Also, that sometimes one can get by quite well on what one has. That Scottish lady had few essential expenses and, in the money of 2026, a cash income, untaxed (in effect) of at least £10,000 per month; significant capital as well.

Compare that to Ms. O’Neill of Beltaine Cottage, who has a small fraction of that income, yet lives, it appears, rather well on it. As a friend of mine at the Bar once remarked to me, “it’s not what you make, it’s what you spend.” Trite, of course, but true.

The way forward for many may be to disconnect as far as possible or convenient from the general society, to link up with others fairly loosely, and to prepare for the quite likely collapse of that general society.

Naturally, everyone will have a pathway that suits the individual circumstances; the knowledge-level of Ms. O’Neill in Ireland is very greatly higher than that of the Russian girl. Both cases, however, are worth studying for what they can impart,

A recent vlog from the lady at Bealtaine Cottage:

I have only just seen that vlog post, and it answers some of the questions or speculations that I wrote about only today. Synchronicity, perhaps.

Housing for migrant-invaders, while British people struggle.

As previously noted on the blog, Labour Friends of Israel, Bilderberger, NWO/ZOG, and part of the Mandelson cabal at one time.

System MPs such as Lucy Powell are just clowns, really.

Good grief, just listen to that silly bitch spouting her soundbites about “decent, well-paid jobs“, good housing etc. Meanwhile, in the real England and Wales, migrant invaders are still flooding in, there is a near-collapse of law, order, and previous social norms and, in soundbite language, the rich are getting hugely richer, and almost everyone else is sinking, as shown in the cartoon below from 15 years ago (and still valid):

Anyone supporting the migration invasion should also be placed in a detention centre, if you want to call it that. Or work on projects creating canals, or in forests.

“Man… “, meaning African migrant-invader.

As for “what is happening“, what is happening is relatively slow-burn social and political collapse, for which System politicians and (((the usual suspects))) are largely responsible.

“Loan“? Ha ha…

Incidentally, I wonder what odds the bookmakers would offer against Ghislaine “Maxwell” getting a Presidential pardon from Trump in his last few days in office in 2029? Might well be worth a good substantial punt, in my opinion. I wonder whether they would offer 10/1. My own assessment of the real chance is nearer 50-50…

Translates to a Commons with about 226 Labour MPs (100 short of an overall majority); 221 Reform UK (strong official Opposition); 57 Cons (about half of the present number); 52 LibDems; 43 SNP; 14 Greens; 12 Plaid Cymru [etc].

A hopelessly hung Parliament. Burnham would only be able to pass legislation with the assistance of all the LibDems, all the Greens, all Plaid, and all SNP (adding up to 121, so even then several short of an overall majority, but about half a dozen more than a bare working majority. Hopeless.

As a matter of fact, I think that a Burnham government is going to become pretty unpopular pretty quickly.

I cannot see Burnham holding a general election at present, i.e. later this year, because I am assuming that Labour’s large present majority would disappear (as it loses 200+ MPs). On the other hand, if Burnham just takes over, as Sunak did from Liz Truss/”Boris”-idiot, and refuses to call an election for years, then we are back to square one, and Labour is toast.

Good for social-nationalism, probably.

Ambiguous (the actual interview).

Another village. Where are the gamechanging moves?

Late tweets

Quite. All the same, I remain sceptical of the primary assertion. Finland the happiest country? Seems unlikely to me, frankly…

I never use the “right”/”left” terminology, but it is good to see many, especially many young, awakening to reality.

[“SHE NAMED 270 ABUSERS. THE COUNCIL GAVE HER A DIVERSITY COURSE INSTEAD In 2001 a Home Office researcher called Adele Weir mapped a child abuse network in Rotherham. She found at least 270 victims and named the men running it. The Hussain family was on that list. Rotherham Council and South Yorkshire Police had the names, the cars, the addresses. Their response was to tell Weir to never mention Asian men again and book her onto a two day ethnicity and diversity course. A few months later her files vanished from a locked office. Computer records were altered too. Nobody was ever charged for that either. It took until 2016 for Arshid Hussain to get 35 years and Qurban Ali to get 10. Fifteen years after Weir handed the council the names on a plate. The Jay Report in 2014 confirmed 1400 children were abused in Rotherham. The Casey Report in 2015 called the council not fit for purpose and pointed straight at a culture that put political correctness above child protection. This keeps happening because the playbook never changes. Raise the alarm and you get managed. Stay quiet and you get promoted. Weir did her job. The people whose actual job was protecting children sent her to a workshop. Sources: @thetimes @BBCNews @yorkshirepost.”]

Neither Muslim nor Jewish individuals should be in the police, civil service, or government, whether at local or national level.

The multikulti society can never function properly.

I saw on TV news a clip from the speech. As I have already predicted on the blog, the Andy Burnham Labourite circus, like some wine, does not travel far from its native terroir, in this case Manchester.

As predicted, Burnham is already a disaster, and he is not yet even elected by the Labour MP drones as their chosen leader (and so, Prime Minister by default).

Our present electoral and political system is a (contrived, rigged) joke, as is Burnham.

Of course, behind Burnham stand Labour Friends of Israel. In short, the “you-know-who” (((them))).

…and look at that dishonest minder or assistant, as well. He really is both brainwashed (or pretending to be) and brainwashing (intent or facade).

Burnham is a disaster; only idiots will want him to be Prime Minister but, sadly, there are plenty of them around…

Also, note that unthinking and tribal old Labourite drone at the end.

They are not only enemies of the people, but also completely deluded.

Of course, 12 miles is next to nothing in a country larger than France and 2.5x the size of the UK, but Russian troops are —albeit very slowly— advancing in all or almost all areas, and have been for a long time now.

Still, Russia now needs a gamechanger that will shock both the Kiev regime and the general world.

In fact, slightly out of date, I think, but broadly correct.

The photo, though, shows Richard Tice, the Reform UK MP who is completely in the Jew/Zionist/Israel pocket.

In the past, some journalists have been exposed as actual MOSSAD agents. Sunday Telegraph scribbler and editor Dominic Lawson, Daily Mirror scribblers in the 1970s and 1980s etc.

Interesting article from Declassified UK about the Jewish/Israel lobby inside Labour.

I think that it is clear that Morgan McSweeney is, or was, an agent of MOSSAD or some other organ of Israeli Intelligence.

[McSweeney at Zurich Airport earlier this month. What was he doing there? Meeting his handlers there, or in some other country? Accessing secret funds? I do not know. Looking at him, you would never guess that he is or was a significant political figure, albeit behind the scenes. Maybe he was trained that way.]

Typical uncaring cowardly bully-n*g. Many of them only understand force and brute strength. When they are faced with that, they knuckle down or run away quickly enough.

Such untermenschen not only could never create a civilization, and cannot maintain one already in existence (created by white Europeans), but also cannot even live decently —even as total parasites— in one already created by those white Europeans (British or others). At best, parasites (most of them, most of the time), more usually also enemy elements, hostile to the (real) British whom they hate, and they hate us because we are better than them (99% of the time).

That one will enjoy humiliating an old white/British lady, because she cannot fight back. The untermensch needs to be taught a lesson he will never forget.

The Daily Mail, of course, fails to mention that the perpetrator is a black, but the readers’ comments make it clear that they know.

There is only a “housing crisis” because we have a demographic crisis, part of which is a migration-invasion crisis and part of which is a general non-white-population crisis (which itself is a delayed consequence of the migration invasion, going back to the Windrush-era catastrophe).

Add to that the arrests of non-whites (and so-called “travellers”, i.e. Irish tinker-types) with British passports. Huge. The prison population is now largely non-white.

[“It was a time when we were going on the assault & none of us knew if we would return. Every step beyond the perimeter was a step into complete uncertainty. A single thought pulsed in my head: ‘Everything could end here & now’. The outcome of the battle was always shrouded in fog, but we went forward. Assault after assault, step by step — Special Forces ‘Akhmat’ didn’t just hold their positions, they relentlessly moved forward. There were commanders nearby, & comrades at our backs. The tasks had to be carried out at any cost: that’s what our conscience dictated, that’s what a man’s duty demanded.

The hardest time came not in the battle, but immediately after. I remember those moments: we’re sitting in the back of a Kamaz truck, returning from another mission. The road is bumpy, the vehicle shakes, but there’s a deafening silence inside. Everyone is silent. It’s not just physical exhaustion, although it was incredible, leaden. We were silent from the terrible memories that were only 40 minutes old. Someone had just lost their best friend in that thicket or in that ruined house — forever. Someone had seen things that would never appear in a nightmare. Everyone was immersed in their own pain, reliving those 40 minutes & tomorrow, at dawn, we’d go back into that hell to drive out the evil again.

Sometimes I review old footage on my phone. Here’s my brother ‘Black’ — he’s still alive here, smiling. Here’s our commander ‘Tarzan’ standing nearby, confident & calm. ‘Romka’, ‘Gulema’… I had the great honor of serving with real Heroes. These people have forever remained in my heart, their names etched into my memory. The places we took by storm are also engraved in my memory: the children’s camp turned into a fortress by the enemy, ‘Post Office’, the industrial zone, the ‘nameless’ villages and cities. All of this is our blood & our history. I remember how, waiting for the breakthrough, I looked around and thought: what have they done to this land? Nature seemed to have been killed, burned to the ground. It was as if the very spirit of life had left these places. Watching the video where our brother ‘Kavkaz’ is still alive, I ask myself the same question: ‘How come? Why do the best always go first?’. I miss the guys so much that it sometimes takes my breath away. On this series of battles, there was a man who became our anchor. Ismail Suleimanovich (call sign ‘Hunter’) was my first commander. We met in 2022 & he quickly became much more to me than a senior in rank. If you ask me who he is to me, I’ll answer: he’s a brother & a father.

Our journey began with the assault on Rubizhnoye. My first command mission ‘behind the line’ & I immediately ended up in ‘Hunter’s team’. You know, there are those who fight on a map in a cozy headquarters & there are those who are always in the forefront. ‘Hunter’ was one of the latter. His orders were always clear & precise, like a shot.

When we stormed Soledar, he didn’t wait for reports in the rear. We went into the city with BATA… I saw him raise our flag over the liberated city. Under his command, we stormed Soledar. I’ll tell my children &0 grandchildren about him. About a man who taught us to win and to remain human Fighter ‘Yakut’.From the book ‘Memories of commanders & fighters ‘Akhmat’’.

Recently, a very warm meeting took place in Grozny: fighter with the call sign ‘Yakut’ visited his commander — ‘Hunter’. Special Forces ‘Akhmat’ — is a unique combat brotherhood, where the relationship between the commander & the fighter goes far beyond the charter. It’s more than a family. ‘Yakut’ is a soldier of SF ‘Akhmat’ in every cell of his body & entire essence The book describes the most difficult battles, in which ‘Yakut’ & his combat brothers, in the thick of the action, wrested every piece of land from the enemy. These stories are written in blood & sweat & they literally give you goosebumps. Such meetings in the rear prove: the fire of the front, passed together, binds people forever.“]

A stray thought out of season

I was just thinking about admirable scenes from films. One which shows a decision made by someone of real integrity is when “The Jackal”, played in the original film by Edward Fox (ignore the remakes), is told that the French security services have discovered his identity and the nature of his mission— “The Jackal is blown; repeat, the Jackal is blown“, and he therefore has the possibility of abandoning his mission and getting out, as well as keeping the half of his fee which has already been paid upfront. His car reaches a fork in the road on the Cote d’Azur. A signpost points left to Paris, right to Italy. After a momentary hesitation, he guns the engine and drives into France, to the fulfilment of his mission, despite the almost suicidal risk. That is integrity. Class.

[“Cornell student Austin Franco was doxxed by Jewish business leaders after explaining that he “didn’t want to work for a Jew,” claiming his experiences with Jews were not “pleasant,” after a NYC startup he had applied to reached out to him three times.

After one of the cofounders, Gabe Einhorn, posted Franco’s reply with his last name blocked out, Franco was quickly identified.

Einhorn said he did not “want to ruin his life,” but wanted to “raise awareness” of antisemitism.

Franco, in a now-deleted post, said that in his personal and professional experiences, Jews were tribalistic and vengeful, and tended to ruin and bully others who opposed them.

Franco stated, “I am sure that if you indicated you didn’t want to work for someone who was White or Christian this would not have blown up…”

Franco claimed that the actions by Einhorn and the Jewish community, posting his reply, doxxing him, and then trying to investigate and uproot his personal life, vindicated his concerns that Jews do not work with others politely.“]

Never give in. Never “apologise” to them (they treat it as victory over you and will trample you all the more). Never delete honest and accurate material.

“Kiev”, not “Kyiv” (and certainly not the BBC’s “Keeev“).

In the Middle East, the die is cast.

I understood the paradox long ago: the USA has more military-destructive power than any empire or state in history, and can destroy any force, or whole country, designated as an enemy, yet cannot necessarily use that force without itself suffering mortal injury; also, it has not the ideological will to impose an imperium (not only military-political authority but also a continuing “way of life”) in the way done by the great empires of the past— Hellenic, Roman, Mughal, French, British, Russian/Soviet etc.

The USA should really make the (Israeli) Jews do what the USA requires, by cutting off arms and money, but of course the Israeli/Jewish element is embedded very strongly in Congress, as well as in the American mass media, influential think tanks, publishing, academia etc, as well as, obviously, business and finance.

[$$$ from US taxpayers to Israel, leading to corrupt payments of $$$ from Israel to American legislators. The Americans are therefore paying Israel to corrupt the Americans’ own supposed representatives…].

I admit that, at first, I discounted the various tweets seen a few days ago, which tweets were saying that the fake “communitarian” gobbledegook put out notionally by the family of the murdered boy, Henry Nowak, was in fact forced on that family by the police or others (“the authorities”), but it seems that I was wrong.

I had thought that the typical System language of that family’s communique was simply because some police or “community relations” drone had helped them express their thoughts. As all too often, I was too kind. Seems that the whole thing was a “nudge” unit operation.

It will be recalled that a “high-flying” Civil Service Jew set up the Downing Street “nudge” operation about a decade or so ago, and on the orders of David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne.

Very sinister.

Monkeyworld UK.

[“Online safety” laws and age verification mandates have absolutely NOTHING to do with protecting children.

You cannot stop under-16s from accessing a website without checking the age of everyone who visits it. And you cannot check everyone’s age without forcing them to prove who they are.

“Child safety” is the cheese in the mousetrap.

Laws sold under the banner of “child protection” constitute a Trojan horse for a system requiring every adult to verify their identity before they can speak, read, or post online. The child is merely an emotional shield. The adult is the real target.

And once that infrastructure exists, the pretext can be swapped out at will.

Today it is pornography, social media and “harmful content”. Tomorrow it is messaging apps and online banking. Soon after it is your ability to access the internet at all—each incremental step gated behind a digital ID you are required to keep in good standing.

It’s no accident that the exact same “online safety” agenda is being rolled out across the entire Western world simultaneously, with each national government reaching for a slightly different pretext to justify the same outcome—a verified digital identity standing between you and the open internet.

Different countries. Different pretexts. Same infrastructure.

They are not building a system to keep children safe. They are building the identity layer for a permission-based internet—orchestrated from the supranational level by people you never elected—where access to information itself becomes conditional on obedience.

The point is not to make the internet safer. The point is to make anonymous access impossible.

Because a person who can read, speak, organise and dissent anonymously is difficult to control. A person whose most intimate online activity is anchored to a state-monitored digital ID is not.

Once every account, search, post, payment, message and website visit is tied to a verified identity, the internet stops being a public square and becomes a monitored enclosure.

But the gate only closes if people accept “online safety” laws at face value”]

Starmer-stein and his Cabinet are tyrants. Historically, tyrants have often had to be removed by direct popular action.

She is right.

Does Andrew Neil really believe this has anything at all to do with “protecting children”? If so, he is less perspicacious than I had thought.

Many will have been headed to the UK; many more just like them are still en route. Backward migrant-invaders.

That was just one of them. Hundreds of thousands arrive every year now. To remove or eliminate them will be a Herculean and apocalyptic task.

I know what should happen, but cannot express it, not in our supposedly “free” country…

Question to Google AI about how the “under-16s” social media ban will affect adults in the UK

“how will the new under-16 social media ban affect those above the age of 18?

The new under-16 social media ban will primarily affect adults by requiring them to undergo strict age-verification checks, such as uploading government IDs or submitting to facial age-estimation scans, to access their own accounts. Because the law forces tech companies to police the age limit under threat of massive fines, platforms must prove all active users are old enough to be there. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Mandatory Age Checks

Adults will no longer be able to simply check a box to state they are over 18. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X are rolling out Highly Effective Age Assurance (HEAA) measures. To log in or keep an active account, adults must use methods like facial analysis scanning, uploading passports or driving licences, or verifying through a bank account. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Increased Privacy and Data Concerns [1]

Civil liberties groups and digital experts note that this creates a system where adults must continuously hand over sensitive personal data to big tech firms. This has sparked criticism that the ban functions as a “digital ID by the back door,” raising prominent concerns about how securely adult data will be stored, monitored, and protected. [1, 2]“

[“IMPORTANT :

There seems to be some individuals under the illusion that Remigration won’t result in mass violence on the streets. This is extremely naive and shows lack of understanding in the situation.

Let’s be conservative and say we have 20 million foreigners in Britain – do you think these people will leave just because you asked nicely?

The idea of “friendly Remigration” is childish and shows that people aren’t ready for what’s coming.

I worked with a Sudanese fella before – he watched his entire family get murdered in front of him in the civil war. Do you think he’ll go home just because you asked nicely?

What about the radical Islamists who are here soley to take over? Will they abandon their beliefs because you want them to?

What about the communists who support our replacement, will they change their minds because you promised to do it nicely?

Remigration will cause violence in the streets and many will die on both sides.

This is not a game.

The NRP understands this which is why we are a militant based party, we understand the sacrifices and the suffering that lay ahead of us.

There’s a whole world of suffering coming our way. It’s time to grow up and accept it.

George Foulkes, a horrible, corrupt, and utterly useless old bastard, a freeloader and fraudster who, in any decent society, would be, at very least, digging canals or something. The whole quite long tweet is worth reading.

Labour. It has outlived its usefulness, just like the equally-fake “Conservative” Party.

I shall be interested to see what the charge will be. On the face of it, looking at what is already in the public domain, the evidence might be sufficient to ground an attempted murder charge but will probably, in the end, be a lesser charge. Tweets seen are suggesting GBH.

All the “protect children“, “stop terrorism” rubbish pumped out by Labour Friends of Israel puppets such as Starmer-stein, Yvette Cooper, Jess Phillips etc was always a pack of lies, of course, just a way to bring in a total police state by the back door.

Deportations are one way. There are others.

[“This is possibly the worst crime in modern history.
Two men “adopted” a baby.

“A post mortem examination identified more than 30 external bruises, as well as internal bruising to his mouth and throat, internal bruising to his anus, bowel and bladder, lacerations to his anorectum, and a perforated bowel.”

“One medical expert gave evidence that a bruise on the baby’s bottom appeared to be a human bite mark.”

Think what this poor baby went through. The men who did this should be put to death.

Men should not be able to buy babies. I know that this will cause some anguish to good men who have good intentions, but it’s necessary to prevent this happening. This cannot happen again.“]

Poor child. What an appalling crime; in fact, an appalling series of crimes. Men generally, particularly male couples in some kind of performative fake “marriage” cosplay, should not be allowed to adopt children; same goes for most lesbian couples, incidentally.

As for the defendants in that case, it is too good for them really, but we must keep our hands clean, so a quick and clean execution by firing squad would be my order, were I in a position to make the decision. Just expunge them from society.

Pseudo-“Conservative” Fraser Nelson, always ready to support anything that deprives British people of a decent future, or that cheats them out of a decent life today. Of course, he is pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, pro-globalism etc…

[Israel-puppet Starmer-stein, and Angela Rayner, “bending the knee” for black mobs]

I have no idea who that woman is but she parrots the usual Labourite nonsense that one hears from the likes of Lisa Nandy, Rachel Reeves, and other Labour careerist clowns and “multiculturalists”: “our communities“, “our NHS” etc.

They speak a different language, a kind of pseudo-communitarian gobbledegook about how “people” would “get on together” entirely happily, were it not for “divisive rhetoric” from Reform, Restore, or the “far right” (or others).

My strong feeling is that people such as that useless woman are going to be swept away in coming years.

[“Could Henry Nowak have survived? Dr. Krzysztof Magier @DrMagier, a pediatrician and former honorary consul of the Republic of Poland in Cowes, analyzed footage from a police body camera showing Henry Nowak’s death. Dr. Magier heads the pediatric intensive care unit, with experience in combat medicine training and a specialized course in treating severe injuries (including gunshot and stab wounds). He disagrees with the pathologist’s and judge’s opinion that Henry Nowak had no chance of survival and that handcuffing him essentially changed nothing. On the contrary—there is a high likelihood that the police intervention contributed to his death. He analyzed the autopsy report, which points to damage to the subclavian vein as the main source of bleeding, and explains where the problem lies. In a healthy person, venous bleeding occurs under low pressure and often self-limits thanks to the naturally forming clot, while simply approximating the wound edges and compressing the surrounding tissues closes the vein enough to slow or even stop the bleeding. The body camera footage shows that when police arrived on the scene (likely 5-10 minutes after the injury), Henry was conscious enough to speak quite loudly. He was therefore not yet in a terminal state. After his arms were twisted behind his back and handcuffed, the vein was most likely stretched, the clot torn, and bleeding dramatically intensified. Within just about three minutes, he lost consciousness and died. People with suspected internal injuries should never be moved or yanked abruptly—such actions can destroy the natural clot and lead to massive internal hemorrhage. Instead of immediately calling a medical rescue team and handing the patient over to paramedics, the police handcuffed him. If paramedics had arrived first on the scene, Henry’s chances of survival would have been much higher. “50%”—writes Dr. Magier. Paramedics could have quickly started an IV, administered fluids to increase circulating blood volume, and tranexamic acid to stabilize the clot, and if needed, performed needle decompression (inserting a large, long needle into the lung), because the issue wasn’t so much lack of lung function, but compression of the blood-filled lung on the heart and mediastinum, which blocks circulation. Worse still, the incident took place just a few minutes’ drive by car (2–3 minutes by ambulance with sirens) from Southampton University Hospital—a regional Major Trauma Centre equipped with a full team of specialists, procedures, and equipment. “I am convinced that if Henry had arrived there alive, the doctors would not have let him die”—writes Dr. Magier. In summary: the aggressive police intervention, instead of saving a life, led to death through improper handling of a severely injured person, even though world-class care was just minutes away. “I fear the Judge and pathologist were too lenient toward the police”—writes Dr. Magier.”]

Looks like the police might face a civil action on that basis, potentially.

I rarely support what the Israelis do, but had this murder taken place in Israel/Palestine, had the victim been a Jew, and had the murderer been a Palestinian Arab, the house of the murderer responsible would have been demolished by a bulldozer regardless of the culpability or not of the murderer’s family (in this case, the mother has already been found guilty of an ancillary offence, and others of the family have been charged and arraigned).

That stupid Labourite woman on the Peston TV show should see this, though she is the type that is impervious to evidence that challenges her ingrained views. “Second and third generation…” too. Happens in Belgium, the UK, Germany, France, Scandinavia, and elsewhere. We need to clear them out, and save what is left of Europe.

Whatever it takes.

Yes, everything worthwhile in the UK was built by British or other closely-associated white European people. The problem is that lesser breeds are now infesting much of it (the country and its institutions). Politically and socially-subversive types also infest our institutions, often at a high level.

We are on the downward path.

[“The rife anti-white filth that has infected Britain goes so much further than the police – that cancer runs much, much deeper.

Young white men – treated like dirt exactly because they are white. It is blatant racism, and politicians should have the courage to say so.

Our institutions now seem perfectly comfortable judging people by the colour of their skin, provided that skin happens to be white.

Universities. Hospitals. Councils. Military. Police. It is EVERYWHERE.

White British men are told we are privileged regardless of our circumstances. We are told we should sit quietly by whilst opportunities, resources and funds are deliberately allocated to ethnic minorities.

I say no. Enough.

This has happened as a white British boy died in the street, begging for help. Ignored and left to die, because an ethnic minority murderer accused him of racism.

But outlining the issue is not enough. Not now. No more talk. We need solutions.

Identifying the rot is only the beginning. Here is what a Restore Britain Government will do to rip it out.

  • Repeal the Equality Act 2010 in full, and repeal the laws it replaced, especially the various iterations of the Race Relations Act.

Initially sold as a simple non-discrimination duty in public places, these Acts have over time amounted to a series of escalating discriminatory attacks on white people.

The 2000 amendment imposed a statutory duty upon public bodies to ‘promote racial equality’ following the MacPherson Report. We’re told this Act supposedly prohibits racial discrimination, but the principles it enshrined in law are now being used to promote racial discrimination against white people. It is unacceptable, and has reached far beyond its original remit.

The Equality Act 2010 consolidated all of the previous Race Relations Acts into one anti-white monstrosity.

  • Repeal all laws which punish ‘racist’ speech, including Part III of the Public Order Act 1986 – which criminalises ‘incitement to racial hatred’.
  • Repeal law which requires courts to treat racial hostility as an aggravating factor when sentencing offences.
  • Replace it all with one simple act that ensures every British citizen is equal before the law and positively outlaws anti-white discrimination, so as to prevent activist judges from reading their own prejudices into the law.
  • Ban race-based, sex-based and religion-based quotas in public bodies and private companies.
  • Prohibit recruitment schemes restricted to particular ethnic groups.
  • End mandatory DEI training across government, local authorities, police and NHS bodies.
  • Ban positive discrimination in hiring and promotion.
  • Outlaw race-specific graduate schemes and internships.
  • End taxpayer funding for DEI officers or schemes across the entire public sector.

Restore Britain is committed to rooting out all laws, practices, and norms that systematically discriminate against white people.

It will end. I promise you that.

A Restore Britain Government will restore fairness for all.

That includes white people.“]

[Rupert Lowe MP]

Very positive from Lowe.

In fact, the Reform/Restore rivalry, though a problem in terms of vote-splitting at elections, is a great thing in terms of moving the “Overton Window”. Already we see that the public discourse is moving, and quite rapidly moving now.

Farage and Reform are scrabbling to keep up with Lowe and Restore, and the public, many of them, are up front with Restore in terms of their views, in my judgment, even though Reform is still far better known, and has a higher profile (as has Farage). Lowe is also willing to stand up a bit against the Jewish lobby, against kosher/kashrut slaughter etc.

As for the Con-selfservatives, they have been left far behind, despite the recently-increased propaganda support in the msm. Toast.

As said, though, what matters is that the public mood is fast-hardening against the decline in our society.

I agree with Ms. Meaden. No kneeling. Only concrete action.

Another “beggar on horseback” (as in “if a beggar is given a horse, he rides it to death“). Get rid of him and all like him.

Jones is exposed as a complete sycophant, liar, and puppet of Mandelson, the deviant Jew tied in with the sex criminal Epstein and the rest of that Jew/Israeli cabal, who ran a huge Israeli honeytrap, espionage and intelligence operation for years, drawing in everyone from Clinton to “Prince” Andrew (Andrew Windsor) and hundreds of others. Arrest them all.

They think that replacing one joker with another will win the game. I doubt it; the whole pack consists of anti-British elements.

I take little interest in sports, but it is a nice picture.

Quite interesting, and for me reminiscent of the house by Lewisham Park, a Victorian/Edwardian park in south-east London (between Lewisham and Catford), where I lived for a year (1983-84), until I started my law degree at the superannuated age of 28. I had a large room with a kitchenette, a sitting area with sofas and armchairs, and a door onto a tiny high-walled private garden separate from the main garden.

I piled my bed high with soft sheepskins, and subsisted much of the time on grechka (boiled, then fried, buckwheat grains) and lemon tea.

My landlady there was a rather frosty dragon called Mrs. Moore who, in the mid/late 1940s, had been an officer of military intelligence in India. She always called military intelligence “MI“.

Mrs. Moore lived, like me, on the ground floor, and was very strict about her tenants (of which I believe there were several, though I rarely saw or even heard anyone) notifying their presence or absence via a system of wooden slats by the large front door. Those slats said “In”, “Out”, or “Away” by a list of the room numbers; “Away” was for when people expected to be out overnight or longer.

One night I was “away” but notified only “out”, so Mrs Moore did not double-bolt the front door. I was criticized by her for my failure, and the consequent potential security breach, when I returned the following day.

That house was later demolished (late 1980s, I think), and a sheltered housing building, St. Mauritius House, hugely ugly (one can view it via Google Earth), constructed on the site. Today, a passer-by would have no idea that a pleasant little bit of 19th/20thC social history and domestic architecture ever existed there.

Times past…

Why are msm outlets giving a washed-up ex-MP like Penny Mordaunt any airtime? Is there really some idea that she might become an MP again? Highly unlikely. A GE might not be until 2029, and she is already 53.

“In April 2025, Mordaunt began a part-time paid role with British American Tobacco, as part of its transformation advisory board; she also started paid work with maritime technology company Sub Sea Craft.[97][98]

In July 2025, she co-authored a report into antisemitism in the UK with Labour peer Lord Mann commissioned by the Board of Deputies of British Jews.[99]

In September 2025, Mordaunt was appointed President of the Southend-based charity, The Music Man Project, which provides music education and performance opportunities to people with disabilities. She succeeded former Southend West MP David Amess.[100]“

The Jewish lobby favour her; I suppose that explains why she is still occasionally on TV.

Incidentally, while she was, technically, a Cabinet minister, it was only for 85 days!

I think that the directors of such anti-British companies should be held personally accountable.
