Paul Mason, the pseudo-revolutionary System drone. I may be wrong, but he always gives me the impression of being a state and/or System asset of some kind.

That “Paul Shilly” person is the type I struggle to understand. Do people like him really think that the UK (or Europe in general) can take in millions, then tens or even hundreds of millions, of mostly very backward, useless, parasitic migrant-invaders, without limit? Do they really think that UK society can survive endless waves of backward parasites and/or enemies reaching our shores? Or do they secretly know that the migration invasion will destroy both society and our root-stock, and is that what the traitors really want?

Social-media “slacktivism” alone will not accomplish anything, of course.

Many people on Twitter/X talking about trivia such as “was he [the killer] really only 17?” and “why not name and shame him?”, as if that matters much.

The big picture is that the UK is now full of non-Europeans, who now comprise about 20% of the population (far more in London and other cities and towns).

The majority of the non-Europeans here, indeed the vast majority, are of no use whatever to an advanced economy and society (which Britain was and could again become, indeed to some extent still is). A substantial minority of the non-Europeans are also actively criminal, or enemies of the British people. Of course, only a tiny minority commit massacres, but why should the British people accept any such outrages?

Part of that big picture view includes the fact that between half a million and a million migrant-invaders are entering and staying in the UK every year at this point.

The response of the revived corpse of “New Labour”, now under Israel-puppet Starmer, is to conceal the truth, to try to turn “illegals” to “legal migrants” via a rubber-stamp (the primary weapon of a type such as Starmer), and to destroy what is left of the English countryside by building ugly hutches for the migrants and others.

Rachel Reeves makes a lot more than that. The £90,000 is merely MP salary. As Chancellor, she gets about the same again, and has had other concealed income streams. Plus substantial investments.

Of course, Sophie Corcoran is a typical “Conservative” pseudo-“libertarian”, and Starmer-Labour is merely a hopeless mixture of Blair-Brown “New Labour” and the past 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment.

[Yvette Cooper, Home Secretary 2024-?, Labour Friends of Israel member, listening, apparently respectfully, to Mirvis, the Chief Rabbi]

Pro-multikulti would-be dictator Yvette Cooper will not be resigning. Instead, probably soon laying down more repressive laws to prevent freedom of expression by British people.

Venezuela, and general thoughts arising

A comment on the blog yesterday prompted me to resurrect my blog post about Venezuela from 2019. I think that it has held up fairly well.

A mother was pushed to the ground and robbed of her £185,000 designer watch in front of her three children.

The mum, who is in her 40s, was approached from behind by three men while she was outside St Pancras International Station in Euston Road last Sunday (July 21) around 10.50pm.

The muggers pushed her to the ground and tore off her Richard Mille watch.

[Ham & High]

Shows not only the —worsening— crime problem in London but also the huge disparities in wealth. The woman wears (well, did wear) a watch worth £185,000! Maybe she has a few more at home.

Odds-on she is not echt English.

Goodwin is an academic, so should know that all terms such as “right”, “left, “far right” are almost meaningless. He says that “far right is a rejection of human rights and democracy“. So does he say that Stalin, or Trotsky, were “far right“?

The rest of his tweet I cannot fault.

Planning madness

https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/24467184.uproar-larling-plans-nearly-2-000-new-homes/

Villagers in a hamlet which has around 100 homes have reacted with anger to proposals to build more than 2,000 new properties on their doorsteps.

Locals in Larling argue the area, which does not have mains sewage, is wildly unsuited to a development of such a scale.

The project would effectively turn it from one of Norfolk’s smallest villages to one of its largest – or create a new village altogether on its outskirts.

Larling, close to the A11 between Thetford and Attleborough, has been a late addition to Breckland Council’s local plan, which sets out where new homes can be built over the next two decades.

[Eastern Daily Press]

Similar madness is all over England now.

The madder thing is that hardly any English people are having children; who who are, are having one, or two. Below replacement level. Only the blacks and browns are having 3 or 4, or more, children.

Then, of course, the UK is importing 500,000-1,000,000 unwanted immigrants, mostly non-white, every single year now. Unsustainable, even in sheer numerical terms.

I do not know exactly when this society will break, but the signs are everywhere now. Quite soon, I think. Years rather than decades.

That Norfolk idea has apparently been put forward by or via a typically-greedy farming family, the Lewin family (see the newspaper report). They will end up with many millions if that development goes ahead. Probably about £20M. I have little time for the kind of farmers England now mostly has. Greedy moneygraspers, many of them.

Misleading headline. The risk is that of a hot war…

Ruling circles and secret cabals in the West are pushing the world, and especially Europe, into the next great European war, which might well become a “world” war affecting (devastating) the USA as well.

I condemn the violence in Southport without reservation. But I don’t remember the same level of condemnation & pearl clutching at the Harehills & Manchester Airport riots & thuggery. They are not insulting the community, @ranvir01, they are trying to defend it.

The rioting started when, what appears to be an Asian or Middle Eastern man, turned up with a knife.

For decades people have wanted less immigration, especially the working-class as they bear the full brunt of the negative consequences. Knife crime, anti-social behaviour & grooming gangs.

Labour MP@SarahChampionMP estimates 1 million girls were abused, while the Labour Party covered it up with social services & the councils.

Now the murder of three little girls. People were aghast at the laxity to the response to Harehills & Manchester, but if they are white, lets go on a hate-fest against them. Be sure to sprinkle in far-right & EDL for emphasis. Two-tier policing & justice.

You are no more than mouthpieces for the Uniparty. The Great Replacement is condemned as a “far-right, white supremacist, fascist” opinion, despite the United Nations writing a 177 page paper in 2000 called “Replacement Migration.”

[David Atherton]

Note how weasel Pierce says that the alleged Southport murderer is “British” just because born in Wales (to African parents). If I were born in China, would I be Chinese? I think not.

So there is our “free” mass media. A “diverse” panel consisting of one little gay pro-immigration “Conservative”, one pseudo-revolutionary “British” Indian woman, and some stray black unknown to me. All pushing the same line…

I think that, the way things are going, the British people are going to take matters into their own hands, as at Southport. Not in a (very) planned or co-ordinated way (bearing in mind the degree of snooping that the poundland police state now indulges in, and the Kafka-esque misuse of “anti-terror” laws), but as now not infrequently seen, events flaring up, perhaps though leading to serious political upheaval as well, over time.

By 2034, there will be another 5M-10M non-whites in the UK, mostly in England, mostly in the cities. Plus maybe a few million births. What then?

UK, Eire, France, Germany, Italy, Spain. The problem is a pan-continental one.

[and you know what kind of (((influence))) is behind Yvette Cooper].

The Tunisian revolution began with a street vendor. Everyone knows the wider issues are the problem and it snowballs.

In the UK the problem is importing 10 million foreigners did not increase quality of life. It brought murder, rape, terrorism, wage stagnation, house price explosion etc.

But worst of all political gridlock on any solution to stop the inflow never mind reverse the damage. ~40% of the Labour vote comes from non-natives. They only got 33% in the election, without the imports they would have only got ~20%. This mindset of promoting foreigners and suppressing natives is representative of almost no one.”

Very true. As I have explained several times, at GE 2024, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote, probably out of disgust with the System. Another 4 out of 20 voted Labour; 3 voted Con, 2 Reform UK, 2 LibDem, and 1 Green. In rough outline.

In other words, only 4 people out of every 20 voted Labour. If, as is certainly the case, half of the Labour vote was from the ethnic minorities, that means that only 2 out of 20 real British people voted Labour.

Labour really has no mandate at all, or at best a very marginal one.

Free speech is being taken away. Elections have become almost meaningless. Our (real) human and civil rights are being eroded fast, replaced by fake ones. The late President Kennedy said something about that sort of situation:

Don’t vote “Conservative”, either. The same (((forces))) control both.

I had no time for Tony Benn. A hypocrite, a humbug, and his view of both politics and history mainly wrong. Similar to that other old humbug, Michael Foot.

We are ruled by a nefarious group of individuals that have an unquenchable thirst for power, control and money, and they don’t care what they have to do to get it. And that includes tricking people into thinking they are the virtuous good guys who are here to keep us all safe.

And tragically, millions of people are completely duped by this. What we have witnessed over the Covid response, the war in Ukraine, the Net Zero agenda on climate change and many other current issues is a movement of faux-virtue that has been carefully crafted by corrupt politicians, messengers within legacy media outlets, greedy corporations, messiah delusional billionaires and undemocratic technocrats to create the impression that they are the virtuous ones who are our friends.

The whole quite long tweet is worth reading.

Many msm scribblers today are twenty-somethings with zero background knowledge. Many cannot even write or spell properly.

Prepare for “their” (((victim))) mode to be deployed…

Not only is this “Labour”-label regime an “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by 4 people out of every 20), but one without ideas, without ideals, intent only on power and the exercise of repression.

Coudenhove-Kalergi also thought that a caste of Jew and part-Jews should rule over the bastardized European mixed-race population, once that was created or being created. Now look— David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson etc. As for Starmer, not Jewish, but with Jewish wife, just like Jenrick and others.

Rachel Reeves has no “plan”, just a tick-box idea of “balancing the books”. cf. David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne.

Look at what she herself has decided to do, along with her boss, fellow Labour Friends of Israel member Starmer.

Infrastructure investment slashed, which is the worst-possible choice (though some projects are useless, notably HS2). More money for the subsistence of unwanted migrant-invaders. Pensioners to lose a lifeline. No new hospitals. Yet pay rises of 22.3% (over 2 years) for junior hospital doctors most of whom are useless, and most if not all of whom will be on far higher levels of income within a few years of seniority.

That last reminded me of a major league baseball players’ strike when I lived in the USA over 30 years ago. The strike was bitter and crowned with success eventually. The demand was that all major league baseball players should get $100,000 a year minimum (I suppose you could at least double the value today). Not unreasonable, arguably, though it was several times the average pay of Americans as a whole. The joke was that only 1% of all major league baseball players at that time received pay of less than $100,000 anyway. Most were in the several hundreds of thousands a year, with a substantial minority getting over a million a year.

The “trans” nonsense has become utterly ridiculous. Having said that, women should not be boxing anyway.

Less than a month since GE 2024, and Starmer-Labour is already the “elected” dictatorship I predicted. I say “elected“, of course, because only 4 out of every 12 voters who voted, voted Labour (only 4 out of 20 of all eligible voters— 8 out of 20 did not vote at all).

We are not ruled by “Labour” or “Conservative” labels, but by NWO/ZOG puppets. There is no substantial difference between the “two main parties”.

…and there are “alternative” NWO/ZOG puppets, less important ones, too: “Tommy Robinson”, Reform UK, Farage, Tice etc.

Late tweets

What has been absent from comment is the sheer malice of the recent announcement. I see Rachel Reeves as an extremely malicious person, and she will be well aware of the fact that few people aged 65+ vote Labour.

“Zelensky: We will discuss the issue of Ukraine’s borders with the respective countries.

PROMISED TO DEVELOP A “PEACE ESTABLISHMENT PLAN” BY THE END OF NOVEMBER

Kyiv-based political scientist Andrei ZOLOTARYOV believes that Zelensky is “preparing to sell the truce to the Ukrainians as a victory.”

Washington Post: Armed forces of Ukraine exhausted, a critical situation is emerging for the Ukrainian army on the front with elements of “serious chaos”.”

Surely, if the Kiev-regime forces are exhausted, this is the moment for a general advance of Russian armour and infantry across eastern Ukraine, not for a truce, from the Russian point of view?

The US allowed the use of nuclear weapons because of Ukraine The United States may use nuclear weapons because of the desperate situation in Ukraine, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said in an interview with the YouTube channel Dialogue works. “The situation in Ukraine now is that the Russians have virtually defeated Ukraine, and so the United States has a choice between a humiliating defeat and perhaps dropping one of these low-yield nuclear weapons,” he said.

If the USA uses nuclear weapons on Russian forces, it can kiss goodbye to the top 50 American cities, including Washington DC, New York, LA, Philadelphia, Houston, Denver, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, and Boston.

Don’t instigate nuclear war. It could put humanity back thousands of years.

London. Zoo.

Barwell, you idiot. Your views come close to treachery. In fact, I believe that they do constitute treachery, treachery in particular to the remaining real English people not only of London but of all England.

Like many another, I voted with my feet long ago, and now prefer to avoid London. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/06/30/diary-blog-30-june-2022-including-impressions-of-a-trip-to-dystopian-london/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/02/04/white-flight-in-a-small-country/.

Incidentally, I see that Barwell’s cretinous tweet has been seen by well over 2 million people, yet has been “liked” by only 2,000— one in every thousand. Barwell’s views may be mainstream in the Westminster monkeyhouse and in the System msm, but in the rest of the country his opinions are those of a small and wrongheaded minority.

Barwell really takes the biscuit for deliberately-obtuse failure to see what is right in front of him— the destruction of the social fabric of London (and the UK) by reason of mass immigration and its consequences.

Even if Barwell’s narrow point is true, and Charlotte Gill does not like “living in a diverse community” (read “a crime-ridden multikulti swamp”), so what? That is her choice or preference (and a good one too).

If Barwell is typical of many of the “Conservative” Party officials and politicians, then its near-collapse is far from hard to understand.

Jungle.

We know what needs to be done about this sort of thing, but are now “not allowed” to express it, in our wonderfully “liberal” “diverse” country…

Thick-as-two-short-planks Lammy as Foreign Secretary just confirms how deep in the mire the UK really is.

I saw another tweet from that Barwell idiot:

Barwell’s knowledge of history is notable for its wrongheadedness. He is a know-nothing.

Sadly, tweeter “@Pauline51734996” also seems to know not so much about modern history, bearing in mind that WW2 is precisely why Britain was “bled dry“, the British people beggared for a decade after the “victory” of 1945 (some rationing in the UK lasted until 1955). “Pauline”, however, does not hold herself out as being capable of expert socio-political commentary, unlike Barwell.

Is Barwell aware that the Kiev regime is egregiously brutal, shambolic, corrupt, and tyrannical? No trade unions, no free press, no real opposition parties, no free speech (etc)? Press-gangs to force the many unwillingly into uniform? Those who have not managed to flee beyond the borders, that is. In fact, the Jew Zelensky is presently ruling illegally, having decided to ignore the fact that his presidential term expired some time ago (and he now refuses to hold an election).

A newspaper report about a young girl orphaned when her parents, as well as her two sisters, were killed on the road, it seems because an idiot was riding a motorbike on the wrong side of the highway, and at what must have been a tremendous speed.

The GoFundMe appeal set up for the orphaned girl (and publicized by that Daily Mirror report) had an initial goal of £3,000. It made that within an hour or two. The fund now stands, at time of writing, at nearly £250,000, on only the second day. It still increases. Enough to set the child up in life in every way.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-poppie

My point is that there is so much bad news, news about poor or even evil behaviour by people, that that often leads us to forget the immense power of goodness that also exists in the world.

That GoFundMe appeal has had a few large donations (£1,000, even £5,000), but much of the quarter-million pounds so far donated has been in smaller sums— £5, £10, £20. As someone once put it, discussing the Parable of the Widow’s Mite in the New Testament, “the radiation of the small coins“…

Heartening.

[Incidentally, it occurs to me that the orphaned girl will probably, presumably, eventually, be the beneficiary of any car insurance payout as well].

…once I had finally left the stifling climate on campus I became truly aware of how us Zoomers have been completely screwed over by the mainstream system. My parents, for example, were married, with one child, and onto their second property at the same age that I am now, despite not coming from any kind of wealth at all.

But the reality, today, for Zoomers like me, is that I will likely never be able to afford my own house, nor will I ever be able to pay off my university debt faster than the interest on it grows. Almost half of my monthly salary now goes on rent, meaning it is virtually impossible for me to save any money at all.

There is a listlessness that my peers and I feel – that I think is borne from the fact that we simply do not ‘own’ anything, nor can we put roots down anywhere. We are neither the ‘Somewheres’ nor ‘Anywheres’ British writer David Goodhart talks about; we have neither the means to join the Somewheres by putting down roots nor the desire to join the continually mobile, hyper-liberal Anywheres who eschew these roots for a sort of hedonistic, bohemian, and hyper-individualistic ‘life’. We are simply trapped.

Perfect recruits for a social-national upsurge in the near-future…

…and meanwhile, the “British” Government, egged on by the organized UK Jewish lobby, defends the Gaza cruelties.

I was unaware that Myerson had “resigned” (been kicked out, in my opinion) as a Recorder (p/t judge), albeit under the fig-leaf of having “resigned”, of course. His continuing toxic social media output made it almost inevitable. Someone such as Myerson should never sit in judgment over others. Unfit.

It seems that the judicial career of pro-Israeli judge Simon Myerson KC may be over, or at least stalled. Skwawkbox understands that Mr Myerson ceased to hold judicial office in early July 2024. It is unclear whether he resigned or was forced out after failing to curb his controversial behaviour on X/Twitter.

Myerson, a founder signatory of the anti-left so-called ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS) group who was a ‘Recorder’ judge and has denied that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, was disciplined by the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice in March after engaging in politically controversial issues in an offensive manner. The senior judges found that he had failed to maintain the standards of his judicial office.

Asked to comment on the case, a barrister who has worked with Myerson said:

Myerson’s conduct on social media has been very poor. Judges are supposed to ensure that their conduct, both in and out of court, maintains and enhances the public confidence in the judiciary. Myerson is consistently rude and patronising to people on social media and it reflects badly on the judiciary. I suspect a lot of judges will be glad to see him go because his conduct was becoming an embarrassment.”

[Skwawkbox]

Stalled“? No. Myerson is finished as far as the Bench is concerned. He should never have even been considered for such appointment.

Incidentally, Myerson is or was a leading light of a “charity” bringing Afghans to the UK. Typical.

This is what Myerson and his type are defending— Israeli war crimes.

No wonder that the msm drones (BBC or other) are so careful always to parrot System propaganda (whether Israel-lobby/Jewish-lobby propaganda, “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic propaganda, multikulti society propaganda, or whatever else). One wrong move and they are “cancelled”, so losing out hugely in money terms.

An extreme view but understandable when animal abuse is uncovered, as in the case of Charlotte Dujardin (of whom I had never heard until this evening).

Most racehorses are treated very well, and I am sure that that is true of showjumping as well, though I have had only occasional contact with the latter.

I trust that Charlotte Dujardin , the Queen of Team GB’s dressage team ( she has 3 Olympic gold medals) is banned for much longer than the provisional 6 months over a video showing her whipping her horse’s legs repeatedly so the animal performs to her liking. Makes you wonder what other cruelty she may have visited on her horses over the years. The incident was filmed four years ago in the UK at an educational establishment. It shows Dujardin , 39, hitting the horse on its legs during a piaffe- a slow trot. Another rider was on the horse. Why didn’t the other rider report Dujardin to the authorities straight away? Whoever was the whistleblower was clearly worried about the Dujardin reaction as they leaked it through a lawyer in Holland The International Federation of Equestrian Sports was sent the video yesterday and provisionally banned Dujardin, 39, for six months. With luck she will be kicked out completely. Dujardin then issued some mealy mouthed statement saying she had made an error of judgment. You mean you were caught. Very grateful to the whistleblower. Without him or her Dujardin may well have been carrying the flag at the opening of the Olympics as our most important athlete.

[Kelvin MacKenzie]

When I find myself in agreement with Kelvin MacKenzie, the world has certainly changed…

On the wider point, it seems to me that the whole Olympic circus is now no longer useful, let alone interesting.

Starmer-Labour is a kind of “elected” dictatorship, as well as being a basically Jewish/Zionist “project” (cf. “Blairism”). It was “elected” under a system of voting used by few other countries.

In rough terms, Starmer-Labour was voted for by only 4 out of every 12 people that voted, and out of every 20 of those eligible to vote. Its mandate is very weak.

[out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 chose not to vote at all, 4 voted for Starmer-Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results].

You see so many unthinking tweeters such as “@1aisTro11sBots”, who imagine that the headline result of GE 2024 reflects socio-political reality. No, it reflects an unfair and stupid voting system.

In a more restrained way, the same or similar msm puffery in the UK enabled Keir Starmer to appear solid and competent. Hardy ha ha…

Even if so, no more dishonest than the Cameron-Levita/Osborne Con government of 2010-2015 laying the blame for the world banking crash and the UK’s slide into decline on the British poor, unemployed, sick, and disabled. The whole Cameron-Levita “austerity” nonsense.

We have a sick political and mass media system.

ps. why is there no law prohibiting MPs from being called “Darren”? (only joking).

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/18/keir-starmer-says-he-is-open-to-processing-asylum-seekers-offshore

Keir Starmer is looking into plans to process asylum seekers outside the UK as part of a rethink of the government’s immigration policies, even as a returns agreement with the EU appears more distant than ever.

The prime minister said on Thursday he was open to the idea of Britain processing claims offshore, after a day spent discussing illegal migration with fellow European leaders at Blenheim Palace. Those talks, as part of the European Political Community summit, included a meeting with Edi Rama, the Albanian prime minister, whose country processes asylum claims on behalf of Italy.

But he said a deal to return refused asylum seekers to the EU was low on his list of priorities, as the French president, Emmanuel Macron, warned his country was not willing to shoulder the additional burden.

But look, I’m a practical person. I’m a pragmatist. And I’ve always said we’ll look at what works and where cases can be processed closer to origin, then that is something which of course ought to be looked at.”

[The Guardian]

As I have been predicting for many months on the blog, Starmer will “solve” the “small boats” migration invasion, meaning get it off the TV news agenda, by simply “processing” the applications of the invaders long before they reach the UK, whether that be in France, in Albania, in Italy, or even in Africa.

“Processing” will mean, in this context, rubberstamping 90% or more of the applications. Probably more, looking at how about 80% of the applications of the present wave of invaders are eventually approved once they land in the UK (and the rest not deported anyway).

What about those, the small minority no doubt, who apply for asylum in those extra-territorial processing centres or offices but are refused? Is Starmer pretending that they will be content to stay in, or return to, their native countries? Of course they will not. They will simply make their way to the English Channel and then try to cross it.

If you import populations from the more backward parts of the world, in sufficient quantity, your own society becomes backward and/or degenerate.

Why are they even here?

Please refer to the last few comments.

That made me laugh, which is something…I mean both the comment by tweeter “@TexanGhost” and Dawn Butler’s brainless tweet.

I often worry that I may be too old to take a leading part in the national revolution by the time it happens, at least to take an active leading part; I am already 67 (68 in September). Damn.

“The Great Reset”…

Elon Musk has evidently had a very different experience of living in the USA than I ever did…

Mirabile dictu! Former-MP and Israel-puppet Largan has said something with which I can agree.

I have noted in the past on the blog the inadequacy of so many post-1945 public buildings in the UK, for example the court buildings in both London and the provinces. Some are OK, or even impressive, but more are not. Compare them to most of the American court buildings, such as the Federal court building in Trenton, New Jersey, where I was, several times, over 30 years ago:

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarkson_S._Fisher_Federal_Building_and_United_States_Courthouse Trenton, New Jersey; the sentry box is, I think, since 1992 when I was last there; presumably an example of the increase in “security” in the USA since those relatively innocent days]

Not the world’s most beautiful building, but very solid and impressive (and the interior is, in my view, even more impressive).

Ah…. just saw (for the first time), the New Jersey (i.e. State, not Federal) justice building, also in Trenton:

So ugly, one is prompted to speculate, “Britischer Architekt?” Still, quite large and impressive at least.

I see that that 1980s building is named after a former Governor of the state, who was also at one time Chief Justice of New Jersey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_J._Hughes_Justice_Complex#Dedication. I was very slightly acquainted with one of his sons, who himself became a Federal magistrate in 1991, a year or two after I was introduced to him; I met him again, en passant, a few times, in the years 1989-1991: https://www.pli.edu/faculty/hon.-john-j.-hughes-i1305491. He was all right, but not the most social person in the world, to be frank. Not sure that I would have liked to have been a defendant in his court…

Well, amazing. A second tweet of Largan that I like. Two in one day. Amazing.

If those poetic lines are original, from Largan himself, then he has a poetic sophistication, though not unflawed, at which I should not have guessed, to be frank.

Even if that were not so, the ban is obviously the right thing to do, whatever the collateral damage.

Defund Zelensky and his cabal. The war will then continue for only a few weeks in most areas.

Trump

Trump looking presidential, in a way that he rarely did even when he was President before.

If he can survive the campaign and get re-elected, his personal history, and his personal flaws, can take a back seat. He can stop funding Zelensky and the whole Kiev regime. That can be his first task.

Trump may be in a position, if or when re-elected, to call a halt to the rush to world war. That is the issue of primary importance.

An arrest warrant has been issued for an asylum seeker who tried to bring cannabis onto the Bibby Stockholm barge and then bit a police officer when he was being arrested.

Kenson Noel, aged 29, pleaded guilty at Weymouth Magistrates Court on June 7 to possession of a class B drug and assault by beating of Portland Port Police officer Christopher Grant.

The charges relate to an incident on May 16, 2024.

He was due to be sentenced today at Poole Magistrates Court but did not appear.

This triggered a warrant for his arrest to be issued by the court.

The court previously heard that Noel, whose address was given as a hotel in Bournemouth, is an asylum seeker who fled Trinidad and Tobago after being threatened by gangs.

Archaeologists have finally traced a lost alphabet that puzzled scholars for decades back to a 3,000 year-old civilization of Biblical significance. 

Since 1964, archaeologists have found 15 different tablets with strange carvings at the site of an ancient settlement in Jordan.

Thanks to new analysis, archaeologists have found that they were likely made by the Canaanites, an indigenous group who thrived in the Middle East until the second half of the 13th century BC. 

The Canaanites resided in ‘the Promised Land’ from 3500BC until 1200BC before they were conquered by Israeli tribes following their Exodus from Egypt.

The Canaanites are mentioned several times in the old testament, including the books of Genesis, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Joshua.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13636153/trump-classified-documents-case-dismissed-judge-rules.html

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump in a bombshell ruling less than 48 hours after the former president was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump was accused of taking highly sensitive national security documents to his Mar-a-Lago estate when he left the White House, and FBI agents seized a trove of material during a search of his Florida home in August 2022.

Judge Cannon threw the case out based on ‘violations’ of the Constitution’s Appointments and Appropriations clauses.

In her ruling, she found that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional.

The decision has an enormous impact on Trump’s legal battles, and he now faces just two criminal trials in Georgia and the federal court in Washington D.C. 

A year ago, Trump’s classified documents case appeared to be his most serious legal threat: perhaps easier to prove than Trump’s January 6 case, which relied on public statements, tweets and complex schemes involving electors around the country to charge a complex conspiracy to overturn the election.

Everything’s going Trump’s way, it seems…

Fuck it. I’m just gonna come out and say it. After a lot of thought, I am now 100% behind Donald Trump for President. Let me explain my reasoning…

Trump fell short in many ways in his first term. He was weaker than he should have been on the border. He appointed people to his cabinet that frankly stained his image and sunk his reputation. He let us down with the vaccines and Operation Warp Speed. But it’s about more than Donald Trump. It’s always been about more than Trump.

He has awakened the sleeping giant in America and across the world. People have hit breaking point. And they are sick to the back teeth of the status quo. For all my reservations, I do believe at heart his intentions are mostly good. Compare and contrast him to a demented old man who doesn’t remember what he had for breakfast.

What happened on Saturday night pushed me over the edge. They have tried everything to stop this man. Impeachment, election rigging, lawfare and now an attempted assassination in broad daylight. It’s not about trying to stop Trump. It’s about trying to stop a populist uprising.

In these times we can’t be picky. Trump isn’t going to fix all our problems. Trump isn’t going to save the world. We are living through a time of pure evil, the likes of which only God can protect us from. But we have to rebuild, we have to reorganise. We all have differences of opinion on various issues but ultimately we all see the evil in this world and we all want to make a change. And I believe the best start to that work is to get behind Donald Trump and use our influence to push for the change we want to see.”

There has simply never been a nation-state in history that has endured the sheer scale and speed of demographic change that is currently unfolding around us and remained a healthy, socially cohesive, prosperous, high-trust society.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. The “Great Replacement”…

…and virtually all the children now being born in the UK, and particularly in England, are non-white (including mixed-race). Demographic disaster.

Let’s bin all “diversity hires”, starting with David Lammy, presently and ludicrously posing as Foreign Secretary.

Ha ha…yes, but the joke is on us…

The System promotes idiots like that, making sure that they can wave a few bits of paper (tick-box degrees, diplomas etc) if challenged, as a way of accelerating the destruction of European civilization.

Even the System msm cannot ignore the migration invasion completely, because the public has started to awaken and, indeed, become fearful of what is happening, and what might and probably will happen not so far down the road.

The Twitter-twits, and the System politicians, have been laughing at the Reform UK result at GE 2024 (“only 5 MPs” etc), but the underlying reality is that, out of nearly 29M actual votes, Reform UK got over 4.1M, the Conservative Party only 6.8M, and victorious Labour 9.8M.

Labour received under 10M votes, and has 411 MPs, despite only getting about (indeed, less than) two-and-a-half times the number of votes cast for Reform UK, fobbed off with merely 5 MPs.

As noted in previous blog posts, for every 20 people who were eligible to vote at GE 2024, a plurality, 8 people, did not bother to vote, probably because they were disenchanted with the whole set-up.

Out of that group of 20 people, only 4 actually voted Labour.

Another 3 out of the 20 voted Conservative; 2 voted Reform UK. 2 also voted LibDem (which however received only 3.5M votes as against Reform’s 4.1M). (Almost) 1 notional voter out of the 20 voted Green, which party received 1.8M votes.

The point is that Reform UK is, at least in part, “controlled opposition” but, notwithstanding that, over 4 million people decided to register their anger by voting for it. Another 19.6 million did not vote.

It is possible that, were a credible social-national movement to exist, a substantial part of the 19.6M non-voting bloc, as well as a large part of Reform UK’s 4.1M bloc, might vote for, or otherwise support it.

Remember, out of every 20 adult people in the UK, only 4 voted for Starmer-Labour.

Starmer-Labour has no real mandate from the people.

Happened to see part of one of those fly-on-the-wall cop shows, called Police Interceptors. The bit I saw concerned a raid on a house where a man was thought to be trading in drugs.

The police arrived in force, were ready to bust open the front door but found it unlocked, so went in and took control of the property. The man named on the warrant was not at home, but his wife/girlfriend/whatever was, along with her small and terrified children.

In the kitchen, the police found large bags stuffed with herbal cannabis, apparently harvested from the marijuana farm in the attic, which the police also found. They also found little plastic bags used for retail sales of the drug.

The woman was arrested only because the wanted man refused to give himself up, but was in touch with the woman by telephone, under police guard, and was apparently nearby. He gave himself up a few days later.

What interested me was that I should have thought that there was ample evidence to prosecute them both for “possession with intent to supply”, but in the end the woman was released (I was distracted so missed the exact outcome, I think an official caution), and her husband/boyfriend/co-habitee was apparently not charged with anything!

A big raid, the police all dressed up in the paramilitary style to which they have become accustomed, warrants obtained, searches made, drugs found, arrests made and, in the end…nothing.

The police and CPS need to start dealing with (real) crime, rather than snooping on tweets and blog posts and generally behaving like a poundland Stasi.

This country is now pretty close to running on empty.

After Trump’s courageous immediate response to the attempted assassination, his stock among the American voters must surely rise.

This must surely seal the Presidential race for Trump, even if the Democrats replace Biden with someone compos mentis.

Having said that, were Biden to be replaced by someone such as Michelle Obama, popular —God knows why— among the non-whites who are now the majority of the American population, it is possible that Trump might lose, I suppose, but that really might see an actual civil war develop.

Have we just seen and heard, in those popping shots at the Trump rally, the first shots of the second American Civil War, akin to the shot fired at Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina in 1861, or even that fired by the cruiser Aurora in 1917?

Is anything Liz Truss may think even worth reporting? Her rise to prominence, then —briefly— power came as a result of peculiar and particular political circumstances; and, after all, she only became an MP in the first place on her back.

Were her crazy idea about pension age ever to be implemented, it would cause an electoral, and perhaps actual, rebellion that would make the rise of Reform UK look like the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.

As Matt Goodwin has predicted, the Starmer-Labour government will crash and burn very quickly. It has no real mandate anyway, despite its Commons majority. Only 33.7% of the popular vote. People wanted rid of the fake “Conservatives”, that’s all. Few really wanted Starmer-Labour. Don’t forget that Sunak’s “Conservatives” also had a large Commons majority.

How is it that a Zionist Jew such as Aaronovitch can post that, and nothing happens, but a comment or cartoon about Jewish behaviour, allegedly posted by an English blogger, causes the suborned UK police and/or CPS to go mad?

The Labour hegemony in the younger age-groups (highest in the 25-34 age-group— 46%) will not last. The wider 18-44 group —where Labour support was, at GE 2024, over 40%— will soon defect or fall away when Labour fails to improve the housing crisis, or improve the poor deal renters get in the UK, among other issues.

Farage

I see that the little world of UK Twitter/X is going mad because Farage is going to visit Trump. According to those Twitter-twits, Farage is neglecting his duties as MP and, in particular, neglecting the constituents of Clacton by briefly going to the USA. They obviously have no idea that a great many MPs either do nothing at all for their (notional) constituents, or send pro-forma letters back to them, explaining why they can do little or nothing. There are exceptions, but those are exceptions to the general rule of uselessness.

Back in the mid-1980s, I sometimes enjoyed Spitting Image [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting_Image]. The sort of real cutting satire that would simply not be allowed today, much of it. In any case, with the sort of events we now see (eg Biden’s funny but also sad descent into the fog), any similar show today would have to fight hard to compete with what is actually happening in front of our eyes.

True, Reagan was not the most-obviously intelligent world leader, but the satirical treatment of him was deliberately “over the top”; whatever his flaws, he was not in the grip of a dementia-related condition plainly visible whenever he spoke in public.

I have not seen the more recently remade Spitting Image but I doubt that it pokes fun at the kind of non-political targets the 1980s original did, e.g. black “rap” performers. I admit that I am guessing, though. The remake is not broadcast on mainstream TV.

The regime of that evil little bastard has only one main chance— to drag NATO into the war. That might mean a slide into a nuclear confrontation before very long.

If the Kiev regime starts to attack Russian cities far from the front line, the response might be that Ukrainian cities in the western part of Ukraine, west of the Dnieper, might be attacked and even destroyed.

So far, Russia has not launched all-out attack on Kiev, partly because of its role in Russian history, but if major Russian cities start to be bombarded, that may change.

I predicted, a couple of years ago, on the blog, that Russia would start to degrade the electrical production and distribution network across Ukraine. That is now being intensified, and is a far more intelligent way of waging war than the more brutal and harsh —and less effective— choice of attacking directly the homes and neighbourhoods of the Ukrainian civilians.

If the Kiev regime starts to badly damage Russian cities away from the front line —especially Moscow, Petersburg and surrounding territories— the Russian response could be devastating enough to bring NATO into the war on some pretext such as Poland suffering damage. Were that to happen, all of us would be but a step away from a Russia-NATO war, which is being pushed by secret circles within the West. Such a war, which would quite likely go nuclear within weeks, would change Europe and the world forever.

Reform UK, GE 2024, and the Twitter twits

I was just looking at Twitter/X, which is alive today with Twitter-twits attacking Reform UK and, particularly, belittling Reform for, as it were, pretending to be a serious political party when it “only” has 5 MPs.

As recently as June 2024, the LibDems only had 11 MPs, and had only 8 from 2015 until 2017.

The forerunner of the LibDems, the old Liberal Party, at one time the party of government with hundreds of MPs, fell to having only 6 MPs during the 1950s and again in the early 1970s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_(UK)#Electoral_performance.

As for the SNP, from its foundation in the early 1930s and until 1970, about 37 years (!), the SNP had no MPs at all; in 1970, the SNP managed to have elected 1 MP. The MP-cadre of the SNP then varied from 2 to (1974 to 1979) 11 MPs in the years 1974 to 2015, but mostly stuck at 2 or 3 MPs until 1997, when the SNP bloc increased its numbers, this time to 6 MPs. When the FPTP tipping-point was reached in 2015, the SNP mushroomed from 6 MPs to 56 (out of 59 Scottish MPs) overnight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#House_of_Commons.

Apart from those comparisons, the Twitter-twits might like to consider what this blog has been saying for the past week, as have some others (though not enough) even in the msm: Labour did not win by some kind of popular “landslide”, but only in terms of seats conferred by a totally unfit-for-purpose electoral system.

As noted on the blog in past days, at GE 2024 the Conservative Party only got (just over) 1.5x the number/percentage of votes of Reform UK, and even Labour only got (below) 2.5x the Reform UK vote-share.

As put on the blog the other day, out of every 20 eligible voters, only 12 even voted.

In very rough terms, out of that eligible 20 voters, 8 voters abstained, 4 voters voted Lab, 3 voters voted Con, 2 voters voted Reform, 2 voters voted LibDem, and 1 voter voted Green.

Not exactly, and “other parties were available”, but 90.29% of UK voters voted for one of those 5 parties. In England specifically, about 97% of voters voted Lab, Con, Reform, LibDem or Green.

The Twitter-Twits tweeting about Reform UK are mostly Labour supporters who belittle Reform because only 2 out of every 12 voters who voted voted for it, yet only 4 out of 12 (4 out of 20 if you count the abstainers) voted Labour.

I happened to notice one particular Twitter/X account, one “@RobBaron10”, who today (as of 1430) has already managed to put out about 29 Twitter/X “replies”, almost all angrily insulting, and all or almost all completely brainless. I have to say that I am loath to give much credence to someone whose Twitter/X profile says “Retired lecturer in philosophy trying to live a low-impact lifestyle. Despises the far-right and social injustice. Responds in the tone responded to.” Especially when said “retired lecturer in philosophy” thinks that “toe the line” is spelled “tow the line“…

Indeed, looking at the tweets copied below, it may be that “RobBaron10” deserves a place in my updated essay on the links between “antifascists” and/or Zionists, and mental illness: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/

More seriously, if Starmer-Labour MPs and supporters think that the absurd result of GE 2024 gives Starmer the right to impose a “woke”, and also Israel-lobby, tyranny on the people of the UK, he and they are very much mistaken.

Remember those figures— only 4 out of 12 who voted (<34%) voted Labour; only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters (~20%) voted Labour.

American citizens stand with Russia, not Ukraine. Russia is an orthodox Christian nation, a sovereign nation, doesn’t pander to illegals aliens, was lied to by Ukraine, the U.S and NATO and had forces put on their border, a violation of previous promises made. Ukraine is in bed with the illegal covert bio weapons laboratory facility’s doing gain of function. Ukraine is the most corruption country in Europe, a money laundering hub, a child trafficking hub and a live organ black market dealing hub. Fuck Ukraine and punk ass Zelensky!

At present, the forecast for Winchester on St. Swithun’s Day (next Monday) is…wet.

Enemies of the British people.

What an incredible waste of the British people’s tax monies, thrown at the brutal and shambolic regime of the Jewish dictator Zelensky. Meanwhile Britain’s public services are collapsing.

Fake Labour is already a failure as a government.

Ultimately, this means that defending our truth-based order, free speech and national identity is considered undignified while sacrificing these values in the name of ‘equal outcomes’ and ‘emotional safety’ is not.

Of course, Labour is also proposing innocent-sounding legislation on hate speech and racial equality which will further supercharge this woke cultural socialism, shutting down offensive speech while pressuring organizations to discriminate against whites and males to achieve equal outcomes for identity groups.

Will Britain wake up in time to prevent…erosion of our long traditions of free speech, free expression, objective truth, equal treatment and due process? Will future generations be taught to hate the British past and the white men who played an outsized role in creating our national community?

At best, I think we have one or two decades to reverse the march of wokeism before today’s Zoomers and Millennials, who prioritise ‘emotional safety’ over free speech, become the median voter and the country reaches a point of no return.”

[from a guest essay, published on Matt Goodwin’s blog].

There are of course other ways to resist tyranny than via the so-called “Parliamentary road”.

It will be recalled by older British readers that, in the Dikko case of 1984, an Israeli Jew doctor was directly involved in the MOSSAD operation to kidnap a former Nigerian government minister:

The Dikko affair was a joint NigerianIsraeli attempt to kidnap Umaru Dikko, a former Nigerian government minister living in the United Kingdom, in 1984, and secretly transport him back to Nigeria in a diplomatic bag. The kidnapping took place, but the transportation thereof was unsuccessful.

Mossad sources across Europe failed to locate Dikko. However, Mossad Director-General Nahum Admoni decided that Dikko was probably in London, which had become a haven for Nigerian exiles critical of the new regime.

Mossad field officers (katsas), accompanied by Nigerian security service agents led by ex-Nigerian Army Major Mohammed Yusufu, traveled to London. The Nigerian team rented an apartment on Cromwell Road and posed as refugees from the new regime. The Mossad agents rented rooms in hotels catering to tourists from Africa, and posed as anti-apartheid activists.

Working separately, the two teams moved among the Nigerian expat community in London, gradually narrowing their search to West London, to the area around Hyde Park, where many wealthy Nigerian exiles lived. They combed the electoral registers freely available in the area’s town halls, but found no trace of Dikko.

On 30 June 1984, a Mossad agent driving down Queensway, in Bayswater, spotted Dikko. He parked his car and then tailed Dikko on foot to his house in Porchester Terrace. Admoni was immediately informed, and ordered surveillance on the house. From then on, the house was constantly watched, while the Nigerians, using their London high commission as a base, prepared a kidnapping operation.

Meanwhile, Mossad recruited Levi-Arie Shapiro, an Israeli doctor who was a consultant anesthetist and director of the intensive care unit at HaSharon Hospital. He was to fly to London and participate in the operation. Shapiro’s job would be to drug Dikko, and insert an endotracheal tube to keep him from choking on his own vomit while being transported in a crate.”

Clacton and Reform UK

The System is now getting very worried about the level of support being shown even for Reform UK, a basically small-c conservative-type party. The anti-Reform UK rhetoric is now close to that displayed in the past against more social-national parties such as the BNP and, further back still, the National Front.

The System thinking must be, “if even Reform UK can be so disruptive, how more so would be a credible and genuinely social-national party?

That anti-Reform UK propaganda is broadcast as Reform UK reaches heights of popular support few thought that it would or could reach.

Some polls are putting Reform UK as high as 20%, and all are putting it well above 15%, the average now being around 17%.

Meanwhile, support for the Conservative Party has dropped to as low as 18%, and may go even lower. I have just yesterday heard admittedly anecdotal evidence that, in my own local area (in coastal Hampshire, and one of the most heavily-Con in England), lifelong Con voters are planning to vote anywhere other than Con or Labour. Many, perhaps most (?), are switching to Reform UK, and some to the LibDems.

I was just looking at my blog from about 8 or 9 months ago. I thought then that Reform UK would get a nationwide popular vote of at least 15% and, at the outside, 20%. Seems that I was right (so far).

Estimates of the number of MPs Reform UK might have by 5 July 2024, i.e. once the votes are counted, range from 1 or 2 to as many as 22. A few Reform UK optimists are doubling or even tripling that. It seems very open, with less than a week to go.

I doubt whether the Channel 4 undercover silliness will change the minds of many people planning to vote Reform UK, as witness the tweets below:

In any case, Channel 4 News is only seen by a small minority of people. Only about 4.5% of the viewing public even watch Channel 4 overall, so maybe 1% or 2% (?): https://deadline.com/2023/06/channel-4-woes-deepen-ratings-historic-low-1235417804/; https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12199071/Panic-Channel-4-viewing-figures-plummet-historic-low.html.

I doubt that more than a few hundred of the voters of Clacton will have even seen the “expose”. In any case, the main person shown was merely a volunteer. It may even be that some people will be more inclined to vote for Reform after having seen the Channel 4 piece. You never know.

There is also the point that postal voting has already taken place. Many of the older and/or disabled British voters, as at Clacton, will by now have voted.

Farage seems nailed-on to win at Clacton, as far as I can see. The Conservative Party candidate has not even been seen (by me anyway) on TV or online, while the young African standing as Labour MP has apparently been redeployed to help another Labour candidate, in the West Midlands, and has thus left the field of battle at Clacton.

I can only suppose that Starmer decided that only the Con candidate had any chance of beating Farage, having scored 72.3% in 2019, so scaled back the Labour effort at Clacton to zero for nakedly tactical reasons.

Also, the fact that Labour deliberately chose an African for its candidate at Clacton, of all places, would be likely to prompt a surge in support for Reform UK. Anyway, he’s gone elsewhere, and will probably not be seen at Clacton until the count on Election Night. I still think that he might lose his deposit.

As blogged previously, while I am not a Reform UK supporter, as such, its existence moves the “Overton Window” a bit, at the very least, and will help to break down the “two main parties” scam.

The public’s view of the mostly System politicians is not favourable. Even Starmer, on the crest of his “popularity by default”, is only viewed favourably by just over a third of voters.

Look at Sunak. Only 19%, the same as the Conservative Party. I begin to wonder whether previously undecided voters will actually start to pile in against the Conservative Party now, or at the last minute, thus reducing the Conservative vote to somewhere below that 19%, maybe as low as 16%. We shall know in 6 days’ time.

I should say “80% that’s broken“, not “everything“. Otherwise, I agree.

As Hitler said, “dirty democratic politicians“…[Mein Kampf].

The African will probably get about 4% of the vote, and lose his deposit.

This is incredible. It does not necessarily mean that the Channel 4 “expose” was a fix, but it certainly raises questions.

How did Channel 4 News come to fasten upon that particular person for its undercover filming?

My view: both main System parties should be eliminated.

Gavin Barwell really is an utterly stupid person, yet there he sits in the House of Lords, getting nearly £400 a day (taxfree) any (sitting) day on which he chooses to turn up for 30 minutes and have his name ticked off… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Barwell.

Yes. If all Con-leaning or anti-Lab-leaning voters were to vote Reform UK, Reform UK could just about win at Dover; even then it might be very close. One thing is for sure— the Con candidate cannot win.

So Giles Watling is still alive… I had seen and heard nothing from the retired actor since the Clacton campaign started. I assumed that he had fallen into his soup and drowned at the Garrick Club.

Watling has nothing in common with most Clacton voters. Hopeless.

The Jew Zelensky thinks that there can be a “peace summit” without Russia’s participation (unless Russia were to effectively surrender). He’s a con-man who has stolen billions.

I tend to agree, up to a point, with that last tweeter. Yes, the Cons are doomed, but look at what the Labour Party now is! A mixture of Blair-Brown-style fake communitarian rhetoric, “woke” craziness, “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) partisanship, and pro-Israel-ism, combined with pro-Jewish lobby repression of free speech and, in terms of domestic policy, almost indistinguishable in reality from the policies of the Conservative Party.

Incidentally, it is Bicester and Woodstock, a new constituency, not just Woodstock. That may explain the close polling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicester_and_Woodstock_(UK_Parliament_constituency).

Even Reform UK has more support among the under-30s in the UK, especially in England, than many suppose. A real social-national party might be able to capture far more hearts and minds.

This really is stunning. If accurate, it may mean a House of Commons with 483 Labour MPs (overall majority 316), 73 LibDems, 27 Reform UK, and only 22 Con Party MPs (SNP 18, Green 4 etc). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

It would mean the LibDems as official Opposition, and Reform UK with several more MPs (27 in toto) than the rump of the old Conservative Party (22), which would not be the Opposition, not even third party, but a poor fourth. Finished. Washed-up.

I have yet to meet, in the past month or even longer, even one person who expresses an intention to vote Con. There may be some people I meet who intend to vote Con without my knowing it, of course; I meet relatively few people, and rarely talk directly about politics with most of those that I do meet. All the same…

In fact, and by my use of Electoral Calculus, it may be that, were Reform UK to poll at 24%, only 3 points higher than in this latest poll, Reform could edge the LibDems out of second place, which would mean Reform UK as the official Opposition, and Farage as Leader of the Opposition! Were that to happen, I should have to eat my words of a year or two ago (dismissing him as not such an effective politician despite his oratorical and mass media skills).

We shall soon know.

Brutal” is the word. Whatever one may think of Trump and his overall fitness for office, it is clear that Biden should now go into retirement.

The world has rarely if ever been in such multiform peril. The state with, by far, the greatest military-destructive power on Earth, is a “colossus on legs of straw”, and cannot, at this time, be commanded, even notionally, by someone not in command of his own faculties.

The Labour parliamentary candidate for Poole, Neil Duncan-Jordan, said he and others have been targeted with ’disgusting and disrespectful’ comments.

He said he had been called a ‘white traitor’ and told that ‘Adolf Hitler had the right idea’.

Mr Duncan-Jordan has called on his counterparts in the election to distance themselves from antisemitism, racism and hate crime following a number of incidents he and his supporters have faced.

Mr Duncan-Jordan said: “In the last few days there have been three separate incidents that have caused me concern. I’ve been called a ‘white traitor’, one of my supporters was spat at and I was told that “Adolf Hitler had the right idea.”

“I think it’s important that all candidates in this election come out clearly and say that antisemitism, racism and fascist views have absolutely no place in modern Britain.

Spitting at someone because you don’t like their political views is disgusting and disrespectful. We cannot allow this kind of behaviour to become the acceptable norm.”

The candidate has reported the incidents to the police.

[Bournemouth Echo]

Well, while I would never condone spitting at (or for that matter, throwing milkshakes over) people (as a Labour supporter did to Farage recently), if a candidate wants to knock on people’s doors to engage them in political debate, he must expect some of his “victims” to cut up rough, bearing in mind what the System parties have been doing to this country.

[Liam Booth-Smith]

Rishi Sunak‘s chief of staff has been interviewed as a witness by the gambling regulator as part of the row over alleged bets on the timing of the general election, it has emerged.

Liam Booth-Smith is reported to have spoken to the Gambling Commission last week to help the watchdog understand who may have known when polling day would be.

Sources stressed to the BBC that the PM’s top adviser – dubbed the ‘Treasury Travolta’ during Mr Sunak’s time as Chancellor due to his fondness for leather jackets – is not a suspect in the regulator’s investigation and had not placed a bet himself.

[Daily Mail]

Can you believe it, even today, as the UK goes into a tailspin? The Chief of Staff of the UK Prime Minister— and look at the bastard!

Liam Booth-Smith (born 1987) is a British political adviser who has served as the Downing Street Chief of Staff since October 2022. He previously served as de facto chief of staff to then-chancellor Rishi Sunak as head of the Joint Economic Unit.

Booth-Smith was born in 1987[2] in Stoke on Trent and was raised by a single mother.[3] He read politics and social policy at Loughborough University. Booth-Smith was appointed as Downing Street Chief of Staff in October 2022 after Rishi Sunak‘s accession as prime minister. He succeeded Mark Fullbrook.

In 2023 the New Statesman named him as the ninth most powerful figure in British Right-Wing Politics.”

About £80,000 a year taxfree, for not necessarily doing anything at all. He also makes a great deal more via his salary, bonuses etc as executive of an AI company. As a John le Carre character called this country, “the pigs in clover society“…]

In the 1970s, Britain still had many avenues open to it. Now, it is as if (?) we are painted into a corner, with almost nowhere to turn.

Alpine Switzerland. A rather wet day.

I am a market researcher. I spoke to Sunak about Polls at the leadership hustings. I don’t think he believes them and to some extent he is right to do so. But we’ve been out campaigning in Bexhill and Battle and have yet to meet anyone whose said they’ll vote Tory in a 26k majority seat.”

We read newspapers, watch TV commentary, see opinion polls, look at (often biased) Twitter/X comment. All contribute to our belief as to what might happen on Election Day. Beyond that, there is mere personal experience of one’s own local area; anecdotal, subjective.

I myself live in an area of coastal Hampshire known for being traditionally “safe” Conservative. The local MP is someone with some of whose views (eg on the Covid scamdemic/panicdemic) I can agree, but with whom I would not agree on other topics. He is also a very poor constituency MP— lazy, uncaring, and totally useless in fact, as a few people have told me after not having received help or even a polite acknowledgment from him.

In previous general elections, I have seen almost exclusively Conservative Party posters around, and one huge banner on a house in the nearby small town. This time, I think only one Conservative poster, and three or four LibDem ones. Unscientific, but is that a straw in the wind? Hard to say, but interesting all the same.

The incumbent MP has been there since the constituency was created in 1997. He has never scored below 50%, and received well over 60% in both 2017 and 2019. Labour usually come third (second in 2017) here, and the LibDems (usually second-placed, though fourth behind Con, UKIP and Labour in 2015) had their best result in 1997 (27.8%).

In other words, it would take a political earthquake, maybe a political meteorite strike, to displace the Conservative here…and yet…and yet…

I may be reading too much into the presence or otherwise of political posters put up locally, but it occurred to me that the Conservative Party in the constituency has (perhaps) few volunteers now. The average age of Con Party members in this constituency must be around 80 if not 90. Does the presence of a few LibDem posters indicate a local upsurge, or just a single diligent volunteer?

I cannot see the LibDem candidate displacing the Con candidate this time, even if Reform UK do well, but who knows? Con, Lab and LibDem are all standing for election, but so also is a double-barrelled (in both senses, probably) Reform UK fellow, a Green, an Animal Welfare candidate [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Welfare_Party], and one for the SDP, which I am surprised to see claims 2,000 members nationally [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_(UK,_1990%E2%80%93present)].

How big the Reform UK vote here will be on 4 July 2024 is uncertain. UKIP scored 16.9% in 2015, though far less prior to that. Since 2015, there has been no broadly “national” party standing, and no social-national party has ever stood here.

If the staff had been Palestinian Arabs, they would have stood no chance. Having said that, Arabs would probably not have been employed anyway, for reasons of security.

Farage and Reform UK to merge with the Cons within 14 days? That sounds ludicrous. If it were to happen, in the 12 days left, it would just be a replay of 2019, when Farage stabbed his own party in the back; with one big difference, though— in 2019, Farage’s back-stab meant that instead of a likely hung Parliament, “Boris”-idiot was able to get an 80-seat Commons majority. In this General Election, the surrounding situation is very different.

Were the predicted merger to occur, and if Farage then urged voters to vote Con in many constituencies, all that would happen would be that Labour would still win overall, but with a majority of maybe 100+ instead of maybe 300. Of course, that would save perhaps 100 or 150 Con Party seats. It would also destroy whatever credibility Farage still seems to have with many people.

After any such merger, I suppose that the idea would be that Sunak would lose the election, resign, disappear from view, and that a leadership election would then anoint Farage as leader of the Con/Reform party.

Not totally impossible, arguably, but very unlikely. Reform UK is on a roll. Brexit Party had all wind taken out of its sails by Farage’s treachery in 2019. The same would happen today. It might even help Labour more than Reform UK fighting on as at present. After all, all the Reform UK candidates are now on the ballot papers.

The only way the predicted merger would work would be if Sunak and Farage were to announce a list of which seats would be “gifted” to Reform UK, but the candidates would still have to remain nominally in place.

That prediction to me sounds like nonsense. After the election might be a different story, were Reform UK to have 5-10 MPs in the Commons, and the Cons 50-100. However, once Reform UK merged with the Cons, and after (if it were to happen) Farage were elected to lead the merged parties, then what? The surviving Con MPs would be not a good match with the new Reform UK MPs; apple and orange. What could they offer the public? Con Party policies but with more emphasis on immigration? Sounds underwhelming.

Never say never, but I cannot see it as likely. If, however, it were to happen, it might yet open the door, on the flank, to real social-national people. “Always look on the bright side of life“.

As to that Gewolb individual’s views on UK interest rates, I do not have the economic background to assess them.

The Conservative Party is dying on its feet right in front of us. I really cannot see Farage wanting to ally himself with a party that, in another metaphor, is sinking below the waves. Not even after the election.

I notice that the Sky News “Chief Political Correspondent”, one Jon Craig, has been wheeled out to write a piece on the Sky News website about how “vile” Farage was to speak the truth about the Ukraine situation, i.e. that NATO has steadily advanced across Eastern Europe since the 1990s, thus destabilizing the NATO-Russia status quo.

Interesting language…”vile“— reminiscent of the language used by “the usual suspects” (((them)))…

The System may be getting or feeling seriously threatened by Reform UK, and is trying to use attack propaganda to weaken Farage’s appeal.

Craig claims that most “Britons” support “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime). I doubt it. Look at the comments section of the Daily Mail.

There is something going on here, with System scribblers, talking heads, and both “Labour” and “Conservative” Friends of Israel MPs all attacking Farage.

I have just heard the news on my car radio. Farage’s comments about the Ukraine situation were prominently displayed. I wonder, though, whether the Kiev regime is as popular with the people as it is with pseudo-“elite” deadheads such as Ben Wallace (former Con MP) and the Labour Friends of Israel drones. I think not.

In any case, few if any will now decide not to vote for Reform UK just because of a few comments about NATO.

Using, as always, Electoral Calculus, I make that a House of Commons with 468 Labour MPs —overall majority of 286, Con 67, LibDem 63, SNP 20, Reform UK 6, Plaid 4, Greens 2 (etc). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

I agree, in principle, with the vast majority of that, about 90%. Only social nationalism will actually “do de job”, though. Reform UK is too finance-capitalistic, too pro-Israel, not quite what I would ever support as a destination (rather than as a means to an end).

Today is the UK msm “hit Farage” day, it seems. “Ukraine”, NHS etc etc. Anything to get the Reform UK vote down. I doubt that it will work.

Germany is no longer the same” – Orban chastised Berlin for the failure of migration policy.

Before his visit to Berlin, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized modern Germany. He said that the country had even lost its former smell, clearly making fun of its problem with migration, writes The Daily Telegraph. “Germany no longer has the taste it used to have. She doesn’t smell like she used to anymore. This whole Germany is no longer the Germany that our grandparents and parents set as an example for us,” the politician said in an interview before a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Orbán also said that Germany was once a country of “order,” “well-organized work” and “hard-working people.” But now, he noted, citing the German newspaper Die Welt, Germany is a “colorful, changed, multicultural world” where migrants are “no longer guests.” “This is a very big change,” summed up the head of the Hungarian government.

Late thoughts about GE 2024

If reports are to be believed, 20% of voters have either not made up their minds as to how they will vote, or have not decided whether they will vote at all.

The 20% equates to thousands of eligible voters in every constituency.

It is also reported that as many as 175 seats are in very close contest now, more than a quarter of all seats.

I have speculated previously whether there is, or is not, a bloc of “secret Reform UK voters”, people who may not admit to leaning towards Reform UK if asked. I do not know the answer to that, and neither do I know its size if it exists, but if that bloc does exist, and if it mostly votes Reform UK on the day, then all bets are off, because there just might be a political meteorite strike on the 4th of July…
