According to the malicious, tiny but very well-funded Jewish/Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], as many as 96% of “British” Jews consider themselves to be “Zionist”, and most of them also support what the Israeli Jews are doing in Gaza and elsewhere.
That last tweeter is wrong; she compares one or two days at Dresden with the whole 5+ years of war in the UK.
The more accurate figures are: about 60,000 killed in Britain, as against (disputed) 350,000 to 800,000 killed in Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_bombing_during_World_War_II.

The increasing support for Reform UK among (but not exclusively) “the young” seems to mirror the support for the AfD in Germany.
For me, Reform UK is not the way to go: pro-Israel, pro the UK Jewish lobby, economically “libertarian” etc. I agree with the Reform UK hostility to mass immigration, but not with much else they say. For me, real social nationalism is the way to go.
Still, the overall direction of travel is hopeful.
You see tweets, or on TV, that “at least the migrants are prepared to work“, but first of all that applies to some, not all; secondly, what that naive assessment omits to add is that the kind of work most of them (the ones that are willing to work) want to do (or can do, having no usable qualifications or skills, or English language), is in the “black economy”. No income tax, no VAT etc. That way, they can get whatever State benefits they can blag as well as whatever they can make on the side, so rent paid, pocket money, maybe disability too in some cases. Child benefit, if applicable. You get the idea.
The bigger picture, as Goodwin has said, is that that whole process traps this country into being a low-wage, low productivity economy. Exactly the opposite of where we should be heading.
That would be good.

The self-describing “left” is particularly prone to denunciation. In fact, in modern Britain, that is its sole characteristic of note. No more do they want to revolt against privilege, or have a revolution of some sort. No, all they want to do is to obey the dictates of the State (especially if fronted by a “Labour” label), and to “deplatform” or “cancel” (censor or ban) anyone thought to be an independent thinker (usually someone labelled “racist” or “fascist” or “Nazi“). You saw the syndrome during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, of course. Anyone questioning the nonsense pumped out by Government or “SAGE” (I preferred “DUMB”— the Department Under Matt and Boris) was called a “Covidiot” by real idiots such as Piers Morgan.
You can send 200 to somewhere like Rwanda, maybe even 2,000; at a pinch, maybe even 20,000. You cannot, however, send 200,000, or 2 million, or 4 million, or 6 million or more.
£1M in 1939 is about £50M or more in the money of 2024. See https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator.
I hope that all readers of the blog will read the tweets of David Morgan, a bold young man from Wales.
Get rid of her.
“The United States is afraid of losing Ukrainian troops before the November presidential elections, because it will be very bad for the Biden administration, and especially for Kamala Harris.
Ukraine, even with American or Western weapons, cannot improve the situation on the battlefield, but the White House has only one goal – to ensure that the Ukrainians do not fail before the elections ,” says John Mearsheimer, an American political scientist.“
“Zelensky in an interview with NBC News: Russia must be present at the second peace summit He said that Ukraine and the signatories of the Swiss resolution will work out a plan to end the war by this event and will propose it for the second summit.
“Representatives of Russia must be present there. We understand that without the Russian side, it is very difficult to end this war diplomatically. And all countries asked us to have representatives of the Russian Federation at the second summit. We said, we are not against it, let’s prepare a plan and invite them.”
Zelensky knows that the Kiev regime is losing. Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.
