The escalating drone attacks on Russian civilians by the forces of the Kiev regime are a plain campaign of provocation, the aim being to provoke Russia into responding with an overwhelming rocket attack on Kiev or elsewhere, thus (Zelensky hopes) dragging NATO into the war as a direct combatant-power, which might result in all Europe going up in flames.

Every. Single. Time.

Every. Single. Time.

I had to look up who that Jewish woman was or is. North London schoolteacher and amateur scribbler, apparently.

The whole UK political system is rotten, rotten to the core.

Not a (no pun intended) black and white situation, but anyway we should be training and employing (real) British doctors and nurses.

[“My wife just spent four hours waiting in Urgent Care at the nearest hospital, on the advice of the NHS Maternity Service, because she’s showing signs of preeclampsia. Can lead to fatal blood clots. She’s a high-risk pregnancy.

Seen by an African nurse who barely speaks English, and makes multiple spellings errors in her notes and hospital letter.

After four hours of waiting, she’s seen by a doctor — who tells her to make her own way to another hospital to wait in the Accident & Emergency department to get tested there instead.

Comes home and calls the hospital, who transfers her to a maternity service, also staffed by an African woman with an indecipherable accent, totally indifferent to the urgency of the situation. Tells her to come into the hospital and wait.

We went to this same hospital months ago, when we thought she had miscarried. Took seven hours to see us, and after telling us twice we had probably lost the baby, they did an ultrasound which showed she was fine. Somehow, they managed to miss A SECOND BABY with the ultrasound, though.

So now she’s in A&E for another few hours, either for a life-threatening condition that’s getting worse while she waits, or for something a quick scan and an Aspirin prescription will fix in moments.

No wonder maternal mortality has increased.

The incompetence, inefficiency, waste, and negligence in NHS maternity services is astounding. It’s not just strain on the system from demand: it’s that frontline staff are not compassionate or qualified.

Nobody seems willing to criticise this because it’s mean, but so many people who interact with NHS services have a bad story.

It doesn’t have to be like this. I don’t care what needs to change to make it work. Just make it fit for purpose.“]

…and, in the foyers of NHS hospitals, “anti-racism” placards and posters…

This is how a country, a culture, a whole civilization, dies. In the well-worn phrase, “not with a bang, but with a whimper“…

In other words, no overnight collapse, not until the very end at least, just a gradual, at times imperceptible, decline, slide, fall into disorganization, decadence, dystopia. The Decline and Fall of Rome took centuries, the end of the British Empire only a few decades after the disastrous war against the German Reich. As for our own contemporary British society, I do not give it more than 20 years, if that.

Were the UK to leave NATO, and cultivate better relations with Russia, we should be able to get gas and probably oil at cost.

There is no need to get into the arguments for and against the death penalty as a judicial punishment. Social cleansing by executive order.

British justice in 2026

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/violent-north-east-youths-subjected-34385476

“Violent youths subjected a man and a woman to a shocking unprovoked city centre attack over a “harmless” comment. The victims walked past some teenagers sitting in a doorway and the woman remarked that they had a nice cool place to sit on a hot night.

Some of them took umbrage at that and it quickly escalated into violence, with then-16-year-old Thomas Courtney and two girls attacking her and leaving her injured. Courtney and then-15-year-old Lincoln Hudson then subjected her friend to a brutal attack in which he was repeatedly punched and kicked, including to the head after he fell to the ground, leaving him unconscious

Newcastle Crown Court heard both victims have been badly affected by the attack, with the man having become so depressed he tried to kill himself. However Courtney and Hudson have now been spared immediate custodial sentences after the court heard they have turned their lives around in the three years since the attack.

[Chronicle Live]

Regular readers of the blog know that I am not a “hanger and flogger” (usually). Is that result justice for the victims, and/or for society, though? I think not.

Even if, as their Counsel claimed —and which I doubt— those youths have “turned their lives around” in the (absurd delay) three years since the attack, the court should have ordered them both to pay ongoing compensation for life to the victims. £10 per week to each victim, and from each defendant.

Admittedly, it is now 18 years (2008) since I was in active Bar practice, I was never really a serious criminal practitioner (though I did a number of Crown Court trials and many many magistrates’ court ones in my early days, meaning the early 1990s) and I concede that I do not know whether the courts even have such a power, in those exact terms, but if not they should have.

Well, there it is. Britain 2026, in which people are still being prosecuted and even imprisoned for tweets and other online comments…

Incidentally, I was just looking at other sentences handed down by the Crown Courts of the North-East. One was a man who shook his own child, a baby, so violently that it suffered “catastrophic and lifechanging injuries“. He had taken cocaine, and drunk no less than 11 cans of lager. He failed to summon timely medical help. Sentence? 4 years (so out in 2 years, or less). This is not justice.

Water supply, on the large scale, should be a nationalized industry, and the chief director of it should certainly not be paid more than half a million pounds gross (pre-tax), if that.

The featured woman fat cat was not even the director of all UK water supply, just that of one region of the country.

I think that there is a case for capping all salaries at some level to be determined, which might be something like £200,000 or £300,000 net (i.e. post-tax etc). That includes other kinds of remuneration.

Here she is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liv_Garfield.

[“In the 26 companies that operate a third of all of the care homes in this country, 200 MILLION pounds leaks out of that sector in the form of management fees for private investors. That’s an astronomical sum that is not going to improving care or paying workers a fair wage, but is instead lining the pockets of wealth investors, often from overseas.

Social care is not a cash cow. It is a critical public service, limping along as its lifeblood is drained by private interests. Getting profiteers out of care is not a nice-to-have measure. It is a crucial starting point that any meaningful reform of the sector must build from.”]

As the Americans say, that surely is a “no-brainer”. I featured, some time ago, on the blog, a news report about some inept armed robbers who targeted the house, in the wealthy Sandbanks neighbourhood of Dorset, of a director/owner of a number of care homes.

The robbers threatened the man’s wife and daughter (he was at work) and, though unable to force the women to open the safe, still got away with about £300,000 in cash and jewels. They were caught not long after that, and had left enough evidence behind them to ensure a conviction and long sentences of imprisonment.

What interested me about that report, apart from the great ineptitude of the criminals, was the fact that despite having been unable to access the safe, they still escaped with hundreds of thousands of pounds, much of it in cash. Does that not raise a number of red flags?

These exploitative private care homes, that charge the elderly or their families huge amounts yet pay their staff peanuts (and often offer residents poor food and care), are a social crime as far as I am concerned.

https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/machete-thugs-jailed-intimidating-violence-11079872

Two men who attacked a frail 82-year-old antique weapons collector in his own home have been jailed. Andrew Paull and Nathan Flower burst into the home of the pensioner, who is now 85, as he slept in bed.

Truro Crown Court heard Paull, 49, and Flower, 33, struck him multiple times with a machete as he tried to get out of bed. The pair demanded they wanted his safe keys, believing he had gold and cash in it.

In fact, the safe was empty and the elderly man was pushed down the stairs at his property in Penrice Park, St Austell, in April 2024. They fled with £350 in cash, bank cards and some keys.

The victim suffered cuts to his face, hand and wrist and was left in what a judge called a “quite pathetic state” and a “broken man”. Paull, of no fixed abode, and Flower, of Basset Road, Camborne, admitted wounding.

The court heard drugs had blighted the lives of both defendants. Judge James Adkin jailed them both for 27 months and said they used “intimidating violence against a vulnerable individual in his own home”.

[Cornwall Live]

Can anyone reading that report think that a mere 27 months was a suitably severe sentence for having broken into the home of an 82-y-o pensioner as he slept, hit him repeatedly with a machete, threatened him, robbed him, then pushed him down a flight of stairs?

Frankly, that sentence is a travesty, a disgrace, and that Judge Adkin, whoever he is (I had not previously heard of him), should be ashamed of himself.

I have no idea what the defendants’ “previous” might have been, but odds-on they both have records as long as the arm of the law [used to be].

What makes that wholly inadequate sentence even more disgraceful is that the convicts will actually serve no more than half of the headline time, so about 13 months, and very likely even less than that.

I have, as previously noted, never been a “hanger and flogger” but, as far as I am concerned, such vicious crimes deserve a flogging, and a mercilessly harsh one. (yes, of course I know that our laws do not now provide for such a sentence; they should do, in cases of such viciousness).

https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/man-rams-another-car-beats-11068072

A thug driver lost it and rammed another man’s car before proceeding to beat him up repeatedly during an unprovoked attacked, court papers have revealed.

Paul Scrafton used his black Seat Ibiza as a weapon to ram his victim’s vehicle three times.

During the unprovoked incident in Mountlea Drive, Par, near St Austell, on December 17 last year, Scrafton, “savagely beat the victim with eight blows”.

At a sentencing at Bodmin Magistrates’ Court on Friday (July 17) of the 50-year-old from The Mount in Par, magistrates described the attack as a “brutal and sustained assault” leaving the victim with broken glasses and his car shunted across the road.

Sentencing Scrafton to 52 weeks in prison, suspended for two years, the magistrates said: “This was an unprovoked attack of a serious nature. It was a horrific incident, where a vehicle was used as a weapon to ram the victim’s vehicle three times.

“The defendant then savagely beat the victim with eight blows, breaking his glasses, which was a brutal and sustained assault and the victim’s car was shunted across the road with a vehicle being used in dangerous manner.

“The victim suffered physical and psychological harm and has been impacted dramatically and continues to suffer anxiety.

[Cornwall Live]

A suspended sentence, for that? Unbelievable.

Not that I believe in over-sentencing, though. In fact, over-sentencing is the major cause (apart from this poor country being swamped by non-Europeans) for the serious shortage of prison space. Time after time I see (in the newspapers) people getting 2, 3, even 4 years for crimes which really merit months not years (if any time at all); and that is so regardless of the fact that most prisoners now serve only 50%, 40% or, in some cases, 30% of the headline sentences.

This secret ruling comes after Louise Haigh was forced to resign over a hidden fraud conviction for making a false police report, only for Andy Burnham to bring her straight back into Cabinet as his right hand woman! Everyday British citizens are subjected to ruthless criminal background checks just to get a basic job in teaching, healthcare, or security.

It is an inherently genocidal force in the same way that ISIS and its vision of a global caliphate cleansed of unbelievers was genocidal.

It is not a political force that British people, or any other people, can co-exist with and it cannot be permitted to organise here.“]

Quite right.

You heard it first here. I have been blogging for years about how Labour would “solve” the small boats invasion by rubberstamping entry for the fake “refugees” either in France or even in their home countries.

As it is, 80% of “asylum” applications are approved. Burnham and his cabal will raise that to 95%. The rest will either be deported, or not, but will probably return down the line with different cover stories.

Same goes for the “asylum hotels”. They are being shut. Fine, but to where are the migrant invaders being transferred? To private rental properties, and to social housing which should be for British people only.

Even beyond that, 90% or 95% of the migrant-invaders are here superficially legally, as “tourists”, “family members”, or as “students”, or on work visas (mostly granted on fraudulent applications), and/or as fiancees, spouses etc.

Another aspect of the invasion consists of births to non-white women and to stupid white women impregnated by non-whites.

τιμωρία γάρ ἐστι τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς μὴ ἐθέλουσιν ἄρχειν τὸ ὑπὸ χειρόνων ἄρχεσθαι

“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”

[Plato, The Republic]

The passage above is drawn from The Republic, Book I, 347c–e.

Here Plato has Socrates set forth why the best men enter political life, that is, why they enter into the life of the polis, the city understood as a body politic. Politics, in the Greek sense, is not reducible to factional struggle. It concerns the ordering of the common life.

To withdraw from it entirely is to become, in the older sense, an idiōtēs, from which the modern word “idiot” ultimately derives: the merely private man, severed from the obligations of citizenship and the responsibilities they entail.

For this reason, rule properly belongs to those with the capacity to govern. Such men cannot withdraw from civic responsibility without permitting a greater injustice: the rise of inferior men who possess neither the strength of mind nor the force of character required to govern.

Links in with the “de-banking” of many other people, from —briefly— Farage to people without Farage’s connections, support base, or money; I am thinking of, inter alia, Sam Melia, Laura Towler, Mark Collett and (I think also) Nick Griffin at one time.

There are the powers of the State, but there are also the powers of corporate entities such as banks, exercised arbitrarily.

No (real) British citizen, i.e. white “proper” Brit, should have his citizenship revoked, for any reason.

That pathetic yet still quite sinister, and plainly defiant, Scottish lesbianka is full of both malice and, indeed, deceit. Apparently, she never noticed that her husband (I believe, now ex-husband) had bought both a motorhome costing £140,000 and a Jaguar SUV costing over £81,000.

So…Nicola Sturgeon visited her parents-in-law, where the new £140,000 motorhome was apparently parked (I thought it was at least once parked outside her own house, too; maybe not) and she remained, she says, totally unaware of its existence because it was parked alongside and not at the front of their house. Possible, if they live somewhere such as Blenheim Palace; otherwise not…

So, also…did Nicola Sturgeon’s “in-laws” never once mention her husband’s (and therefore also her own) massive, newly-bought, and very expensive motorhome to her? Does that seem even marginally plausible? Not to me. They never politely said “we love your lovely new motorhome” or “where do you think you will visit in your new motorhome?“?

As liars go, Nicola Sturgeon is not very believable.

It amuses me that, in order to seem sober, and not spendthrift or dishonest, the SNP has replaced Nicola Sturgeon with a dull fellow called Swinney, but he looks like a head-in-trough bureaucrat type anyway.

Incidentally, latest news is that Nicola Sturgeon is moving to, or perhaps has already moved to… London. London, England…

The history in that part of the world is amazing, and history is still being made there.

b) Britain needs to reintegrate with the EU. And it can do so by forcing its way back in on our terms. Europe needs us more than we need Europe.

Ursula von der Leyen is an evil little sprite, one of the worst people in the public realm.

Quite. Every day, persons of various types are stabbed, often fatally, in the UK (something that was very rare until a few decades ago, i.e. when mass immigration really got going).

Now, because the most recent (and non-fatal) victims are Jews in a heavily-Jewish area, the sky has fallen in. Suddenly, the “British” (Labour Friends of Israel) Government and the fake “Conservative” (Conservative Friends of Israel) “Opposition” are totally hysterical, calling this unpleasant but relatively minor incident in one street of a London suburb a “national security emergency“.

Starmer-stein, Kemi Badenoch etc are the sort of idiots who pose as national politicians —and even try to pose as statesmen (and women)—when a country is sliding fast to utter degradation.

Incidentally…

Notice the utter kow-towing going on by the pseudo-“democratic” political puppets…

Note also how the BBC, Sky etc are all pointing out the alleged attacker at Golders Green as being “a British national” (in fact, a Somali with a bit of paper called a “passport” describing him as “British”, but only idiots take that seriously); some newspapers even call him “a Brit“!

I blogged years ago about those “Prevent” idiots:

I heard a somewhat similar tale long ago, sometime around 1990, about an event which is said to have happened in the late 1980s.

Apparently, the well-known (and at the time I think estranged rather than divorced from Camilla Parker Bowles) Brigadier Parker Bowles was in command of a TEWT (Tactical Exercise Without Troops), the sort of war game people do at Staff College and similar.

Some Nigerian officers of fairly high rank were on that course. They had to gain a pass for diplomatic or political reasons. They could not be failed.

At one point, they were near a bridge. The scenario described was that uninvolved civilians were fleeing across the bridge from an advancing enemy force which had almost caught up with them and could not be engaged by home forces without immense death and injury to those civilians. The question was posed— what should be done?

The Brigadier expected the Africans to give the obvious and correct answer: civilians to be allowed through the lines and passed back to safe areas in the rear, and only after that would home forces open fire on the enemy forces. However, the senior African officer gave an unexpected reply to that question, namely “Kill dem all“… (both civilians and enemy).

Brigadier Parker Bowles apparently, turned to his British officers, simply said, “Well, gentlemen, there you have it…” and, without a word more, strode off to his waiting car.

The Africans all passed the course despite getting most things wrong.

There is a serious possibility that, if Starmer-stein were to step down, Britain might unexpectedly acquire its first “chavscum” prime minister, Angela Rayner, who would then be able to pose as PM for up to 3 years, until 2029.

Yes, but if you imagine that voting, especially for a pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby party such as Reform UK, will “do de business”, you are sadly mistaken. By all means vote Reform, but do so to trash Lab and Con, not to go along with Reform’s quasi-System agenda; do it to lay the ground for a real social-national upsurge later.

All political careers end in failure” [Enoch Powell].

After Reform fails and falls, meaning after 2029, possibly in or about 2033, real social nationalism must come to the fore. No prisoners.

Translates to a Commons with about 321 Reform MPs (5 short of an overall majority), Greens 123 (remarkable, and official Opposition), 64 LibDems, 56 Cons, 46 SNP, 15 Lab [etc].

Would be terminal for Labour. Needless to say, and as with all recent polling, Starmer-stein would lose his own seat (and that is the most persuasive reason I have seen for Starmer to step down now, or soon).

Cons would be reduced to about half their present MP numbers, and be only the 4th party in the Commons, and maybe only the 5th, but Kemi Badenoch would probably retain her own seat.

Farage may be the final gravedigger of the Britain that has evolved since 1945. A civil/social/racial/cultural war may result. Out of that, social nationalism may rise up, rise up to devour both the existing System parties and Farage-style fake nationalism.

[“The migration problem in countries such as the Netherlands can be summarized as follows:

The state actively and aggressively imports hundreds of thousands of single male migrants annually who are then awarded permanent housing, welfare, and access to free medicine, if not also free driving lessons and free public transportation passes.

The migrant men are then legally allowed to bring over many family members, on average at least three or four.

At the same time, hard-working native men in relationships cannot get on the housing ladder and have to pay for everything themselves.

This is a total collapse of the social contract between a people and its government. Either the state sees its people as the enemy, or the people start seeing the state as their enemy.

In the long run, this could be considered an act of genocide against the native peoples, namely by systematically denying them housing and, therefore, denying them family formation.

Indeed, West European people list housing shortages as the number one reason that they’re not having children. The state then uses this as an argument to bring in more immigrants. It is a vicious cycle of national self-destruction.”]

In the current warm weather, I have recently suffered an invasion of small and rather cunning ants in the kitchen of my now very modest home. I hate killing anything, and certainly would never enjoy it. The ant invasion, however, became impossible to ignore. Duty called. As a result, I reluctantly carried out a wide-ranging cull. Some individual ants are still to be found here and there, but not in overwhelming numbers.

Sometimes, it is impossible to avoid committing a sin. As Saint-Just [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Antoine_de_Saint-Just] said, “no-one can rule guiltlessly“.

Labour, the “caring sharing” party. Of course, Streeting is not so much Labour as Labour Friends of Israel…

Both Lab and Con deserve to be trashed on 7 May. I have been listening to what people in my area have been saying. Almost all (admittedly, in an area where Labour always comes third or fourth in Parliamentary elections) have expressed a pro-Reform position, none Con, Lab, or Green.

All that, and now the upcoming “Ukrainian rent boys” trial.

I have seen tweets claiming that Starmer’s Jewish wife, now “Lady Starmer”, is effectively estranged from him. Maybe; I cannot say; neither have I any information on which to express a view as to whether, if that primary premise is correct, the reason is related to purely personal matters, or whether she is angry that she will soon not be the spouse of a prime minister any more.

A friend is having their politics used against them in family court and their lawyer is refusing to represent them because their political views don’t align with the firms…

Would really appreciate any advice or recommendations.“]

I cannot help; wish I could. When I was at the Bar, I did no family law, in principle (I never even read it for my law degree), though I did do a few “ancillary relief” financial matters in the County Court in the 1990s, a very few, and I did one County Court child custody case against a horrible ultra-feminist young woman barrister who became even less pleasant after I won (on all four children…).

There was a well-known firm of solicitors in Praed Street, Paddington, that I know was headed by a Mosley supporter in the 1950s, or so I was told on good authority, but that solicitor would be long gone by now, though the firm still has or had (in the 1990s anyway) the same name.

I have a good cartoon about that, but sadly cannot publish it (again) because it was on one of the five blog posts (out of thousands published) deemed “grossly offensive” back in 2023, when I was put on political trial at the instigation of one of the usual packs of Jews:

[“Since Argentina is being talked about more these days, here is something that will make your jaw drop if you’ve never heard about it.

One of the most powerful and notorious crime rings in the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was a Jewish Ashkenazi mafia organization called ‘Zvi Migdal’ (and sometimes ‘Ashkenazum’). Their expertise? Trafficking young girls into prostitution across the globe (from Poland to India and New York; they even trafficked some Jewish Moroccan girls).

The center of their operations was Buenos Aires, and for a while they were so powerful, and handed out so much bribe, they practically dominated Argentina’s political system.

Epstein was not a pioneer, you see. Zvi Migdal preceded him by more than a century. I was waiting a long time for someone to point out the similarity, but no one did, so there you go.”]

I wonder what happened to that Jewish crime syndicate. Did the “antisemites” get them, or did they just become part of the overall Zionist movement?

There are likely good reasons why our ancestors domesticated cats and dogs, and not foxes …
“]

Our animal friends.

I used to say that it is only when you have lived in the United States that you understand how “occupied” by the Jew-Zionist element it is. Today, it is just obvious, in plain sight, and wherever you live in the world.

Why on Earth would a civil servant have wanted Mandelson appointed? The opposite is a more likely scenario.

The appointment was entirely the wish of Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel cabal. After all, or in the end, cui bono?

Britain started to go badly wrong, and wrong in a geographically widespread way, in the late 1970s and 1980s.

Then, with the advent of Blair and his Labour Friends of Israel cabal in 1997, the UK started its serious slide to perdition. Mass immigration on a huge scale, almost ubiquitous drug abuse, even the poor in credit card debt up to their eyeballs, and (with the spread of the Common Purpose cancer) increasing maladministration and a feeling that “nothing works properly any more” (police, central government, local councils, rubbish collection, prisons, schools and universities etc).

The society left by Blair and Brown was shoved much deeper into the mire by the “Conservative” misgovernment of 2010-2024.

After that came Starmer-stein…

We are now in a situation where the slide in standards is recognized by all but the wilfully blind. Take universities. As late as the 1980s, only a very small minority of students were awarded Firsts. Now almost everyone gets a First, or at least a 2:1 degree, merely for turning up and ticking the right boxes.

More significantly, Britain in 1989 was still at least 95% white (British). Now? About 80% and dropping rapidly.

We are told by msm propaganda that “we” must ready ourselves to fight Russia (for no good reason, at that). What will “we” be fighting for?

Overall, it appears that the UK is in the position of being on the brink, or quite near the brink, of at least a slow-burn social/racial/cultural/ideological/demographic war.

Society, perhaps especially in the West, needs to be thoroughly purged.

“…and a good job too!“, to quote from Trial by Jury

Why should British people sink even deeper into the mire merely to challenge Russia, a country which poses no threat to us at all, except that “NATO” (NWO/ZOG) has been goading it for 35 years (and Russia has felt compelled to respond).

Dan Hodges actually thinks that the UK should or somehow “has to” go to war with Russia, a war which would leave Britain a charred, irradiated island of dead souls.

Translates to a Commons with about 285 Reform UK MPs (41 short of an overall majority), Cons 98 (official Opposition in the absence of a coalition), Greens 88, LibDems 68, SNP 45, Lab 38 [etc].

As in all recent polling, Starmer would, on those figures, lose his seat.

As often previously blogged, underwhelming Reform is still in pole position but the voters are unenthusiastic, voting against Lab and Con rather than for Reform as such. I think the same or similar is true of the Greens, mutatis mutandis.

The longer this goes on, the less will voters be willing to stay within the traditional LibLabCon matrix, but will be open to radical new parties and policies.

The Israeli Jewish state should never have been allowed to come into existence. It is now a kind of goblin-state, inimical to the peoples of the wider world— and not only those of surrounding Arab and Iranian peoples. Its “fifth column” across the world has infiltrated into many states, many societies, corrupting not only business but also politics, law, legal systems and professions and the mainstream media, as well as publishing and academia.

We see now once again, in Iran, Lebanon etc, how the Israeli state, and its military machine, uses the cover of various alleged events of the early-to-mid 1940s to excuse its evil activity.

Yvette Cooper: Labour Friends of Israel, a fraudulent expenses cheat, and a virtue-signalling “refugees welcome” hypocrite who said that Brits should house migrant-invaders in their own modest homes, while Yvette Cooper and her husband, Ed Balls, owned several houses and flats which (of course) were not used to house non-white invaders but to make even more money for the avaricious and horrible couple.

Fortunately, Yvette Cooper can only talk rubbish on TV, and has no real power.

Years ago, the rockets used by the several anti-Israel forces such as Hezbollah and Hamas, and even states such as Iran, were little more than large fireworks. Gradually, things evolved to the point where they are today. Look ahead 5, 10, 20 years. Israel is doomed.

I have blogged in the past about my visit to the UK’s “germ warfare” (etc) complex at Porton Down in Wiltshire, in or about 1995, and in the company of the then Ukrainian Ambassador to London, a Mr. Kommissarenko or Komisarenko [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko], who was himself a biochemist by training:

“Senior politicians”? Do you mean Starmer-stein, expenses cheat and Israel-puppet Yvette Cooper, and ignorant monkey-on-a-stick Lammy? (etc).

Hardy-ha-ha…

Little puppet-politicians of the Healey type are of no account. Literally nobodies (in the big scheme of things), yet posing as quasi-statesmen for 15 minutes of “fame”.

Not so. Leave NATO, cultivate better relations with a Russia eager to have our friendship, and we in the UK could have not only cheap oil and gas but also a massive market, in Russia, for our goods and services. All that, and also a militarily-powerful friend in the global arena.

Starmer-stein is a very minor politician, not a statesman. The Jewish/Israel lobby made him Labour leader after a campaign of years to trash Labour under Corbyn, so he does whatever the Jewish lobby wants him to do, pretty much, but at the same time is pulled the other way by his remaining voters (a dwindling number, looking at all recent polling), who are mostly either non-whites (mostly Muslim) and anti-Israel, or are English/Welsh/Scottish pro-Palestine people. Result is that Starmer is stuck on the fence most of the time.

Yes. Farage wants Reform to be the largest party after GE 2029, then he can ally himself with the Con Party, be Prime Minister but have a good excuse for not really doing much that most of his voters want. The “usual” (((usual))) suspects have already deeply wormed their way into Reform, largely via Tice. There is now a Reform UK Friends of Israel caucus. Quelle surprise

Having said that, I still want Reform to roll its tanks over Lab and Con at the next General Election. Why? Because once the old parties are trashed, a Reform government will inevitably fail to satisfy the requirements of the British people, thus opening the door to real social-national politics.

People know about the so-called “Stasi” of the old DDR, but often fail to see that the BfV, the security service of the former Bundesrepublik, and of the new Germany, is equally repressive, albeit in a less stark way most of the time.

Take a look at its massive HQ in Cologne (only one of numerous buildings around Germany occupied by the BfV):

Germany enforces so-called “holocaust” “denial” laws (akin to mediaeval heresy laws), and other repressive measures are in place behind the facade of its “liberal” “democracy”.

All the fault of the Jew-Zionists, both in Israel and elsewhere (especially those in the UK and USA).

Wherever “they” see a weakness, they attack, not only or always by military means, but also, and in fact more usually, by means of infiltration, using the money power to buy their way in.

That was how Jew-Zionists started to colonize Palestine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, long before the 1948 establishment of the State of Israel.

Under Ottoman imperial rule, and then under the post-WW1 British Mandate, Jews started to buy up land in Palestine wherever they could. This happened especially around the ancient port of Jaffa. That area slowly became the hub of what is now the large city of Tel Aviv.

The same or at least a similar process happened in the UK in the 19thC and early 20th centuries. The largely effete and, in many cases, short-of-money old aristocrats and “gentry” of England (and even Scotland) sold out for hard cash. There are many examples, even on the record. Jewish women from wealthy families married titled English or Scottish men.

As a matter of fact, there was continuing infiltration into the remnants of the so-called “British aristocracy” even in the 1930s and later. I know of at least one quite, or formerly, famous comedian whose Wikipedia entry mentions his various “noble” antecedents, but not the more recent Jewish ancestry. I suppose that is why that individual used to tweet negatively about me 10-15 years ago…

Still, “no names, no pack drill“, in the now rarely-heard Victorian phrase.

Of course, until about 1950, all (statistical 99% to 100%) immigrants to the British Isles, since ancient times, were of European or, if you prefer, Aryan, or post-Aryan, origin. “White people”, in short.

It’s almost funny that, even when I was a teenage schoolboy, in the early/mid 1970s, you had pro-immigration cretins talking about the ancient “immigrants” to Britain— Romans, Angles, Saxons, Vikings, European Celts, Normans (who were, in reality, Vikings settled in Normandy), Huguenots (Protestant emigrants from France) etc as all “foreign”, and so somehow, notionally, not so very different to the blacks, browns etc who flooded in since the Second World War.

An absolutely stupid, and completely ahistorical, argument.

When I was on trial in 2023-2024 for exercizing my free speech rights, one of the things I was alleged to have published on the blog was the assertion that “wherever Jews exist, in any but small numbers, others lose their freedoms” (or some such, or similar, words). I was told, in effect, that I was quite mistaken as to that…

No comment…

How many “invasions” would that be? Which will be first? Iran? Yemen? Greenland? Canada? Venezuela? Cuba?

None so far…

Dystopian Britain growing in plain sight

A few days ago, I took a trip by car, a round-trip of about 200 miles, something I only do occasionally. The journey, from the central-southern English coast, proved more than challenging. Several long waits behind temporary traffic lights made a 2-hour journey more like 3 hours, and the surfacing of even major roads (such as the major trunk route, the A34) is now appallingly-bad in places.

However, that was only the first impression of the day. The once-interesting (in the1970s) city of Oxford, which for some time has been in a state of redevelopment and economic expansion etc, cannot now be accessed by car without paying a congestion charge (nein danke), and the outer zones have become an unpleasant sprawl. Few of those seen trudging along on the streets are European, let alone English.

The drive back was…interesting…but not in a good way. I thought to avoid the unpleasant A34/M3/M27 experience by driving via Swindon and Salisbury. Well, “man proposes but God disposes“, as they say. The roads were not too busy at first, but then became yet another stationary experience. Several sets of “temporary” traffic lights, the wait at each nearly half an hour by reason of the weight of traffic at “going-home time”. Also, the state of the roads, in places, approaches that of the 18thC. Potholes so big that they could fairly be described as dangerous, surfacing generally very poor.

I suppose it was my fault that I somehow got a little lost in Swindon, not an area I know. When I was in my early/mid teens, in the early 1970s, I would occasionally attend the races at Cheltenham with my parents, and on the drive back to the South Oxfordshire/Berkshire area where we lived, we would call in at the then Trust House Forte “Post House” hotel in the then small and undistinguished railway town of Swindon for something to eat.

The incredible Google AI tells me that “Swindon has grown immensely since the early 1970s, and the area around the hotel reflects that shift:

The Surroundings: When it first opened, it sat in a much more rural setting—essentially on the edge of the town. Today, it is surrounded by residential developments like Liden and Badbury Park, and is very close to the Great Western Hospital complex, which didn’t exist when you were visiting.

The Building: Originally a low-rise 1970s design typical of Trusthouse Forte’s “Post House” brand, it has been significantly modernised and extended over the decades.”

Apparently that hotel is now the local Holiday Inn.

The town itself, though, seems halfway between a rundown area of what looked like council housing estates, and a semi-American (meaning Essex County New Jersey, really) landscape of fast food outlets, supermarkets, malls etc.

The few people I saw on foot were either black/brown (including a couple of Indians or Paki-stanis dismantling or repairing a car by the roadside) or white “youths” all in “hoodies”. Admittedly, I did not go into the very centre of the town, but I was glad to, eventually, find a way out.

The roads between Swindon and Salisbury were, again, in poor repair, and even the roads between Salisbury and the coast were in a terrible state, though apparently being repaired in places (meaning more long waits as lines of endless-seeming cars and trucks were held up by several more sets of temporary traffic lights).

The thought that came to me repeatedly during that unpleasant and long journey (well over 3 hours) was that Britain is just not working. The roads are just a symptom. The whole country is gradually (?) going to literal rack and ruin.

Not a nation, more a parking lot and shopping/housing landscape, and without racial, cultural, or historical integrity.

Were it any other matter, this would be “caviar to the general“, and not much of interest to those outside the Westminster Bubble, but the connection to the Jew Epstein, the “Lolita Express” flights, “the Andrew Formerly Known as Prince” etc makes this what I believe show business people call “box office”.

Basic Income/Universal Basic Income, at some level, is inevitable.

This war, terrible though it is, is also fascinating in terms of “David and Goliath”, “oblique war” or, if you like, “the war of judo” (using the strength of an opponent against him). Putin is a judo exponent; he will understand that.

I think that the Americans, so used to bombing peoples and states into unavoidable defeat (the carpet-bombing of WW2 Germany; Japan crushed underfoot by atomic bombs on Hiroshima/Nagasaki as well as by enormous conventional bombing of other almost defenceless civilian populations, as at Tokyo; the bombing of Iraq etc) find it hard to compute that a state and people can suffer such bombing as has been inflicted upon Iran, yet not only stand under the attacks but fight back and, indeed, open up new fronts and tactical pressure-points (blocking the Strait of Hormuz except to neutral/friendly shipping, charging USD $2M per ship as a tax or impost, warning the Gulf Arabs off by a few well-chosen missile and drone attacks, as well as hitting their economies hard by preventing much of their production from being exported. Also, scaring off most tourists).

Don’t forget what happened when a couple of buildings were destroyed by (supposedly by) two airliners flown into them in New York City in 2001. Complete panic in the USA, and the Federal Government paralysed by fear for weeks. I saw and heard the aftermath, having flown to Washington from London only a week or so later, on one of the first few flights (which, by the way, was almost empty, and almost devoid of American passengers).

Imagine what would happen were New York City, or other cities, to suffer the kind of bombing seen over the past couple of months in Iran. Total panic.

The Americans, including many at high levels, are simply not able to understand the resilience shown by the Iranian public.

As for Trump and his obsession with (one-sided) “deals”, he is barking up the wrong tree, in my view.

Interesting. I presume conscience, rather than cowardice, in view of the history and ethos of the U.S. Marines.

I met a few ex-members of that Corps in the past. Tough.

Once again, the police behaving like a poundshop Stasi.

About time for what passes for a “British” Government to tell the noisily-demanding Israeli Jews to shut up and get lost.
