An Interesting Christmas and New Year In Prospect Thanks To Mr. Zelensky

 It would be wise to order in plenty of candles ahead on the Christmas ans New Year period, and perhaps one of those little gas stoves popular with people who go camping, and a few gas cylinders. There are dark days ahead and possibly not due to the late sunrise and early sunset on the northern hemisphere.

We have not yet experienced any of the power blackouts and gas shortages predicted in 2022 when the USA and NATO alliance imposed economic sanctions on Russia which included halting imports of Russian oil ND gas to EU nations.  At the time this blog, and others in the alt-news cmmunity reported that Russia was continuing to fulfil its oil and gas supply contracts and continuing to supply gas via Ukraine.
 

Since then the effect on European economies and societies of these sanctions has slipped below the radar thus nobody has noticed the IIRC the contracts for import of Russian gas via pipelines through Ukraine are due to expire in Dec 2024.
 

Has anyone seen anything in mainstream media about extending or renewing or negotiating new contracts? 

As far as we can tell nothing has been done about gas.

 The situation over Russian oil is different however, there's been some stunning new developments that will affect us all. It's unlikely you are aware that the landlocked Balkan states had been granted a waiver from the bureaucraps in Brussels enabling them to continue receiving Russian oil through Ukraine via pipeline though everyone else was forbidden from doing so. 

So basically oil via the traditional system that was once put in place among the Warsaw Pact countries, was reaching European markets, a system that worked very well. 

Now, the EU hasn't done anything for once, but Zelensky has. Ukraine has forbidden Lukoil (the Russian and international company that nowadays carries the oil contract for the old pipeline system) from pumping oil through Ukraine. Effective immediately.

 This means Slovakia and Hungary have run 'dry', their refineries can't produce anymore. The Czech Republic, Austria and Serbia are the firtst to be directly affected. Indirectly, the whole continent will be affected, too as prices rise. It's that old supply and demand thing. Getting the crude oil thy need will now be even more of a pain in the arse for any refiner in Europe, and petrol prices will rise no doubt. What a nice gift by Zelensky, a thank you for all those eapons and all thar lovely cash we have sent to him..

You won't hear a word about this from the ouanqers in Brussels or in any MSM. Just utter silence. It's too much of an embarrassment, this brazen economic attack on the EU by the EU's very own protégé. They just pretend it never happened, so they won't have to even comment on it, let alone deal with it.

Hungary and Slovakia, however, are pissed and have already vowed to downright block any further weapons or money transfer to Ukraine, should this situation not be resolved.

Ugly, yet at the same time amusing.

EU Technocrats Plan To Shut Down European Agricultural Industry
European farmers will gather in Brussels on Tuesday to demand guarantees from the EU Commission that changes to policy will be made to ensure the European agricultural sector remains viable.

‘We’re Not At War With Russia,’ Germany's Chancellor Scholz tells Warmongering French Ouanqeur Macron

And The War In Ukraine Grinds On
Due to the absence in this blog of reporting on the war in Ukraine readers may have come to the conclusion that we Boggart Bloggers no longer considered it important. That is not quite true, though we are still aware of the importance of Ukraine to the future of the liberal democracies in western Europe, we are only three old guys (with occasional contributions from friends in the alt_news community,) and have simply been overwhelmed by events closer to home.

Total Defeat Of Ukraine By Russia Is Only A Matter Of Time

Big Serge has a rather long situation report on Substack and it will not make happy reading for the Zelensky fan club in the west:

Game Over For Zelensky - NATO andEU Officials Urge Ukraine To Seek Peace
As this blog predicted early last month, following the catastrophic failure of Ukraine's 'counter offensive' to push Russian troops out of their country, American and European leaders who have previously been solidly behind the doomed Ukrainian war with its powerful neighbour, are rapidly going cool on their pledges of unlimited support for puppet - president Zelensky and his far - right masters.

There Is Only One Way Ukraine Can End The War
As Ukraine's much hyped counterattack has failed to achieved the and momentum that hoped for by American and NATO leaders including President Volodymyr Zelensky who admitted it was "slower than desired", and a range of soldiers interviewed by BBC and Sky News television reporters t on different parts of the long (probably too long given the depletion of Ukrainian military manpower,) frontline have blamed minefields laid by Russian troops for that delay.

We are in the grip of an energy crisis at the height of summer.

And this is as energy prices spiral out of control to new records every day.

Is Russia Selling Its Oil To The World Through An Obscure Egyptian Port?

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.

A Very American Coup

 We don't for one second blieve it, but we like it - The Boggart Bloggers

by Truth or Fiction, MoA (64)

Under the guise of removing Biden from the presidential race, a coup d'etat took place in the United States. On Thursday, July 18 at 01:14 New York time, US President Joe Biden died of coronavirus. Biden's body is still in the freezer at the White House. The medical personnel who were involved in the treatment and resuscitation of Biden were held for some time at the residence in Washington, but after the go-ahead from Vice President Kamala Harris, they were conditionally released under a non-disclosure agreement and are now at their place of permanent residence under a ban on leaving the District of Columbia. Biden's death turns out to be a state secret. Part of the late president’s family found themselves hostage to the situation and their fate is being decided by the current leadership of the country. Biden's wife Jill and his children are under the control of Secret Service people who are now subject to the orders and instructions of Harris. Certain compromises have been reached with the president’s children; they are ready to support the myth of Biden allegedly alive until the autumn US presidential elections, but at the same time they put forward a number of conditions that were accepted. Ashley Biden will become Secretary of Health and Human Services in the future Cabinet, and Hunter Biden will move to the US National Security Council.

The appearance of the president's double after Biden's death completed the coup d'etat and put an end to the implementation of these intentions. Kamala Harris communicates through several channels at once with the leadership of several countries privy to the situation, issuing guarantees of continuity of course and various promises. In particular, the start of deliveries of F-16s is the result of an agreement with Kamala Harris to contain America’s Russian expansion in the region. Zelensky, through the State Department, received the go-ahead from Harris for active peacekeeping activities, which he, in fact, immediately took up. The compromise and agreements rallied around Harris by the late Biden’s inner circle are shaky and fragile. Negotiations are currently ongoing on the final configuration of power in the United States on the eve of the elections. There will be decisions and big changes soon. The country is really led by Kamala Harris. US President Joe Biden is dead, his place is taken by an impostor double! We continue to inform you about everything that is happening in the US leadership, and soon there will be numerous confirmations of our information.

Microsoft Software Catastrophe? We Should Have Seen Through Windows Years Ago.

 by Ian R Thorpe, 19 July 2024

A worldwide problem with Windows computer operating systems has caused mayhem for all types of business around the world. Airlines grounded hundreds of flights, trains and buses were cancelled. Shops and other buinesses were unable to proess card payments. Doctors’ surgeries, hospitals, television stations, payment platforms – virtually all sectors of human society have been affected And the cybersecurity firm whose software update caused the problem are warning it may take days or even weeks to get everything running prpery. 

Apparently the problem was caused by an update to an anti - hacking program loaded to computers overnight. So far Microsoft has ruled out a cyber attack and pointed the finger of blame at CrowdStrike, a company specializing in safe-guarding systems against cyber attacks.

So rather ironic but then my experieces with a security firm which bears a name that should have warned me they're a bunch of pirates, have taught me that having an anti - virus package can be as bad as, if not worse than having a virus on your computer.

Allegedly the fault that caused today's chaos was due to a software update, CrowdStrike’s CEO George Kurtz has already begun the public mea culpa, but at the same time warned it wouldn’t be a quick fix:

Well Crowdsrike may have fucked up their software, but the wider problem is the inevitable result of an operating system architecture that really just an aglommeration of barely related modules, patches, fixes, widgets, bells and whistles grown piecemeal over the sapce of thirty years to suit primarily the commercial interests of the providers rather than the interests of the users. Countries like Russia and China that have evolved their own independent systems partly due to sanctions policies but largely due to common sense have been unaffected0 by this outage.

I have often atracted a lot of abuse for saying this but I reckon that our hamfisted trading and sanctions policies are actually doing our ‘adversaries’ a favor. It was always utter folly to move to a situation in whih the majority of our commercial, economic and social activity is totally dependent on a single, rather dodgy technology. Yes I'm talking about Windows. It isn't a fully integrated software suite as one would expect for somthing so vital to the world, but a mash up of software oddments, piled layer upon layer and held together with the digital equivalent of string and sticky tape.

To illustrate what I mean about the shoddiness of this product and the output from Silicon Valley in general I recently, just for fun, (we old guys who in the early part of our careers wrote software for mainframes have a strange idea of fun,) drilled down through the various layers of Windows 10 and found that its living, beating heart is the old DOS kernel that powered the first IM 8086 PCs in 1981.

Until May tgis year I was mainly using Win 7 with no problem while the WIN 10 computer I bought four years ago gathered dust because I hated the operting system so much there was a major risk every time I booted up that it wouldgo through the (glass( window in a very short time. 

In my not so humble opinion the Windows operating system was perfected with XP, after the disaster of Windows Vista Win 7 was really just XP with added annoying features. Back then applications were purchased not rented and usually functioned perfectly, or if they didn't, could be reloaded from CD or the dowloaded source code. After that it was all downhill, Win 8,10, 11 made stupid alterations to turn Windows into a middleman for BigTech's software-as-a-service scam, and a surveillance engine to sell god knows what private information to advertising firms and government. (Remember MS’s claim the “W10 would be the last W”?) Once a tool for users, 8-11 make users into tools of Microsoft and Commerce ambitions. Once a service, now an overlord.

Luckily for us eccentrics there have been Open Office and its successor Libre Office, Mozilla (and TOR if you're a privacy junkie,) and loads more free or very cheap software to do just about everything we might want to.

Today's event is a perfect example of what centralized/global organizing produces. Catastrophes. This transition to virtualized life worked on since the mid 90’s via computers is a pie in the sky dream of billionaire psychopaths and political control freaks. Now they have centralized everyone on a grid, a network of dependence, all users are vulnerable and without localized options that existed before. They wish. Seducing us with “convenience”, then when we all sign up, they have the world by the bollocks. Add in AI (requiring 2x all current power plant output) they believe they will assume absolute control over everything, centrally. Cupid stunts.

Linux, open source software is an option as well as non-participation via Win7. Gen 6 Intel machines can be rolled back successfully and then one can use all the robust software up until about 2015, free of rentier landlordism. And the “cloud” is just a massive surveillance and intellectual property theft device for elites. Once we are all over to Linux the old mainstream software and new independent software still open to 7 will be available through Linux/software configuration schemes. Also acts of non-participation, grassroots.

As i keep saying, the 21st C elites no longer have anything to offer Humanity with their “progress” and “convenience” offerings.

Mass centralization schemes (Digital cash, biotracking IDs, massvax) will never work as dreamed so best to pull out now. The current nightmare is the tip of an iceberg of dysfunction ahead. The sooner one withdraws to historically safe, localized systems of sharing support, the sooner we move from 1% obsolete growth cult to 99% maintenance sustainability. 

Sans 1% of course.

Reflections On The Trump Assassination Attempt And The Great Reset

 by Arthur Foxake, 17 July 2024

In the three days since the apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump we are (predictably) no nearer to knowing what really happened at that rally in Pennsylvania than we were in the minuntes immediately following the former presisent's lughole being clipped by a bulllet, but the claims and counterclaims from interested parties are coming thick and fast.

 It was the Security Services wot done it

No, Trump staged the event himself in order to gain public support by casting himself as the brave, freedom loving hero.

No, it was the Deomcrats, panicking as their candidadtes mental and phsical incapacity is exposed.

No, it realy was a lone lunatic with a lust for notoriety

No, it was his wife Melania who was so horrified at the prospect of having to spend another four years pretending she likes him she coordinated the whole thing with help from the CIA, MI6 and Mossad. (This one is my favourite but you could say I'm biased, because I made it up a couple of hours ago over a lunchime pint with my fellow Boggart Bloggers.) 

The facts, insofar as we know them, point to the apparently ‘stage-managed’ drama and  ‘too-good-to-be-true’ photographs emerging from the fracas.  – The incredible  luck of having Trump superficially wounded just enough to look like a John Wayne type character, using his rifle butt to club Mexicans to death at the Alamo, without actually either seriously injuring him or missing him altogether. The fact his security detail allowed him ‘pose for photos’  puching the air and shouting FIGHT, FIGHT, instead of rushing him off stage. And the fact the alleged shooter was a registered Republican.

 
The unedited version of Trump immediately after the shooting (Picture via OffGuardian)

Strange.

Whether and to what extent the event itself is staged  propaganda featuring Trump as a populist hero challenging (deep) state power on behalf of MAGA-loving libertarians is unimportant. With the J6 ‘insurrection’ especially serving this narrative, in reality is manufacturing divide-and-rule ‘polarization’ of the “bewildered herd” (Lippmann) with potential to propel the USA into ‘civil war’. Such a crisis would be instrumental in creating an opportunity for (deep) state power to step in with martial law, again, to address the state of emergency with another state of siege to dictatorial protocol (e.g., lockdown) further undermining traditional ideology of representative government.

Adding to the sense of politicial theatre around events on that stage however, one piece of a larger puzzle globally coordinating convergence of ruling institutions plotting radical reset and (de)population control on multiple fronts of human society, leading us into techno-totalitarian rule. War on misinformation strengthening the censorship industrial complex, rollout of CBDCs, UBIs, and social credit scores as increasing ‘cost of living’ continues economic collapse since convid’s war on the commons.

Rollout of 5/6G cellular network technology for full spectrum dominainace from space via satellites and IoT/IoB control grids on earth with ‘smart’ cities in which people are policed following ‘managed retreat’ from climate emergency and war (e.g., geoengineering), net-zero war on carbon culling herds and controlling food for hunger games austerity if not starvationare all part of the script.

Military wars capable of igniting world war and nuclear conflagration, and so much more, all on top of the continuing plandemic for biodigital eugenics to colonize and mutate human beings 2.0, the elite's war on humanity is relentless. The ultimate aim is to produce psychic confusion, overwhelming of consciousness, and seeming senselessness of resistance to the final solutions of total war on humanity, as if it’s past time to act and the war has already been won, without a fight (which is assured if we stay tuned to the shitshow of political theater).

The over-the-top nature of the legal campaigns against Trump and his ‘insurrectionist’ followers over the past few years began to seem so contrived to me that I started wondering whether the PTB didn’t actually want us to rally around Trump for some reason. Then, after the Izzies started up their genocide in Gaza, it occurred to me that the Zionists could well want Trump back in office to go to war against Iran. 

The Bidenistas seem to have permanently flubbed the war on Russia, and their base would never permit them to invade the ME, so it made sense that priming the electorate for a ‘return of the king’ is what would happen next. Next, they deliberately decided to ‘reveal’ that Biden is senile at a date far too late for the Dems to replace him without major embarassment; and it now seems that they’re going to stick with this sack of bones anyway! At precisely the same moment that Trump has been elevated to action/adventure super-hero status, there is now — suddenly – no further talk of replacing Biden.

It's as if we are watching a blockbuster movie, a sort of James Bond / Jack Reacher / Jason Bourne mash up that is taking way too long to get to the end. At this point we should have wored out that though everything is fake but there are plenty of shoot outs, car chases, SFX and stunt work so the best plan is not to think about what happened but just to focus on how this event fits into the plot.

For all these reasons, along with the obvious anomalies of the shooting observed by those on the ground, I am now firmly in the false-flag camp. And Trump pick of Ziocon senator JD Vance just clinches it. I have the powerful feeling that this time next year, we will be at war with Russia or Iran ... or both.

The most important question about the 2020 election

Since the day after the 2020 presidential election, I have said I am agnostic with regard to whether the election was honestly or dishonestly decided. The primary reasons for my agnosticism are the usual ones: The anomalies: In 132 years, no president has received more votes in his run for reelection and lost. Yet Donald Trump received 10 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016 – and lost. Trump won 18 of the 19 counties both Democrats and Republicans regard as the "bellwether" counties that virtually always go with the outcome of presidential elections. Yet he lost. He won four bellwether states – Florida, Ohio, Iowa and North Carolina. Yet he lost.

Tonga Volcano Contributed To Global Warming, Not Cow Farts Or Taylor Swift's Private Jet

 via Zero Hedge

The massive 2022 eruption of the underwater volcano in Tonga, known as Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai, catapulted plumes of soot, water vapor, and sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, leading to what some are saying is the driving force behind the most recent warming event on Earth. Meanwhile, the 'green' cult, their climate alarmist friends, including Greta and Al Gore, and their allies in the leftist corporate media, relentlessly push the fossil fuels and cow farts narratives to explain the so-called global warming crisis.

In a recent op-ed, Las Vegas Review-Journal's Victor Joecks recounted the scorching 120F-degree days across the Las Vegas metro area this month. He noted, "The national mainstream media blames global warming." 

Joecks cited Reuters and CNN reports, sounding the alarm on climate change for the "chaos" that is "driving extreme heat waves across the world." He noted that even the Nevada Democrat Party attacked the Republican governor for ending "the state's climate plan."

Ukraine concludes security agreement with Luxembourg - (not a joke)

 Back from a few days well eaned rest following our extertions in the run up to th UK election.

via Moon of Alabama 

https://ukranews.com/en/news/1019111-ukraine-concludes-security-agreement-with-luxembourg

Ukraine has concluded an agreement with Luxembourg on security cooperation and long-term support.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this on the Telegram channel, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

"In Washington, together with the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Luc Frieden, we signed a security agreement between our states. Luxembourg will continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine and will continue to support the protection of the lives of our people. The agreement is focused on political and value interaction between our countries," he said.

Zelenskyy noted that Luxembourg supports sanctions against russia, Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO, and will also help protect and restore cultural heritage.

According to the message of the Office of the President, this year Luxembourg allocated EUR 80 million for defense assistance to Ukraine and will provide support with the same dynamics throughout the ten-year term of the agreement. In general, since the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion, this country has provided military support to Ukraine for more than EUR 250 million euros.

Luxembourg, as a co-leader of the IT coalition, will support Ukraine in training in the cyber sphere.

The agreement also refers to expanded cooperation in the field of defense industry, assistance in attracting funding sources and support of Ukraine's efforts to integrate the defense industry into NATO and EU defense and security standards.

Separate blocks of the document concern humanitarian aid and support for Ukrainian internally displaced persons. Luxembourg will facilitate the release and return of all Ukrainians, especially children.

The article doesn’t mention anything about how many Patriots, HIMARS or F-16s Luxembourg will be supplying, nor any thing about joint naval exercises...

And The War In Ukraine Grinds On
Due to the absence in this blog of reporting on the war in Ukraine readers may have come to the conclusion that we Boggart Bloggers no longer considered it important. That is not quite true, though we are still aware of the importance of Ukraine to the future of the liberal democracies in western Europe, we are only three old guys (with occasional contributions from friends in the alt_news community,) and have simply been overwhelmed by events closer to home.

Total Defeat Of Ukraine By Russia Is Only A Matter Of Time
Financial Times columnist and founder member of the Vobblyvoddymyr Zelensky piano playing penis fan club, Gideon Rachman has a talent for stating the obvious which he displays in a recent article on the state of play in the Ukrainian conflict 'Ukraine and its backers need a credible path to victory - archived. As the Financial Times is behind a paywall with no monthly allocation of free articles, below is a sommary of the most importyant section:

Is The West About To Abandon Ukraine?
n a fresh interview with Germany's national television service ARD on Saturday (2 December,) NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned viewers to prepare for for more "bad news" from Ukraine. Asked for his opinion on whether the situation will worsen for Ukrainian as winter sets in, after the much hyped summer counteroffensive turned into a catastrophic failure he responded, "Wars develop in phases.

The War In Ukraine Is Entering A Significant Phase - SitRep

Big Serge has a rather long situation report on Substack and it will not make happy reading for the Zelensky fan club in the west:

Game Over For Zelensky - NATO andEU Officials Urge Ukraine To Seek Peace
As this blog predicted early last month, following the catastrophic failure of Ukraine's 'counter offensive' to push Russian troops out of their country, American and European leaders who have previously been solidly behind the doomed Ukrainian war with its powerful neighbour, are rapidly going cool on their pledges of unlimited support for puppet - president Zelensky and his far - right masters.

Ukraine Too Corrupt To Join The EU Says Former EU Leader Juncker

There Is Only One Way Ukraine Can End The War
As Ukraine's much hyped counterattack has failed to achieved the and momentum that hoped for by American and NATO leaders including President Volodymyr Zelensky who admitted it was "slower than desired", and a range of soldiers interviewed by BBC and Sky News television reporters t on different parts of the long (probably too long given the depletion of Ukrainian military manpower,) frontline have blamed minefields laid by Russian troops for that delay.

Do We Have A Winter Of Civil Disobedience Ahead?
As many people in Britain slap on the apres sun gloop in the wake of what passes for a heatwave in these cool cloudy climes, our inept politicians caught with their pants down by unusual weather as usual have heard that that winter is coming and are making plans for a coldwave. We are in the grip of an energy crisis at the height of summer. Last week, it was reported that the UK government is laying down plans for a “reasonable worst-case scenario” including blackouts for industry and even households. And this is as energy prices spiral out of control to new records every day.

Is Russia Selling Its Oil To The World Through An Obscure Egyptian Port?

To prolong the slaughter? ...

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.

Boris and Biden Can't Blame Ukraine War For Energy Crisis
With typical arrogance and condescension towards the people who elected them Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and their respectiive presstitutes are trying to spin the energy crisis Europe and North America are currently facing as somehow being linked to the conflict in Ukraine and therfore blame is being attactched to Russia and Vladimir Putin.

The Men Who Would Be Prime Minister

Tomorrow we will know who who is going to be te UK's Prime Minister for the next few years (although the result is pretty much a foregone conclusion, but what do we know about the contenders, never mind the schmatlzy eulogies about their early lives and family backgounds, what do thse two shysters actually stand for.

Our best chance to judge came in last week's televised debate

For the incumbent, Rishi Sunak, who actually got an easier time than 'Sir' Keir Starmer, defender of terorists, enabler of rapists, promoter of 'chicks-with dicks' and 'men with mammaries' ideology, lockdown enthusiast, campaigner for open borders, surrenderer of sovereignty, friend of paedophiles, supporter of anti - semitism, apologist for warmongers and general gobshite, it was an oportunity to show he has a personality, but like an inept footballer he missed an open goal.

The most awkward challenge to Rishi was the squalid election betting scandal which had revealed that several of his close aides had placed bets on the date of the election only a few days before it was announced.  But a more substantive – and pretty much unanswerable – demand came from  audience member Harry Cole who wanted to know why, if the prime minister had so many effective government measures to offer now that he was running for re-election, he had not introduced them already. 

All told though, Sunak survived this. Nothing he said actually seemed to infuriate the audience.

The same could not be said of Sir Keir. On at least two topics, he induced what looked like genuine anger and frustration: his explanation of how he would stop the boats and seize control of migration would not wash. Sending would-be asylum seekers back to their home countries – as an astute member of the audience pointed out – was not a realistic option. Many of these boat people arrived without passports or documentation so it was effectively impossible to identify their countries of origin. And smashing the smuggling gangs was equally untenable because they were largely located outside this country. Nobody was buying the Labour story on this.

A rather more personal, weak point was his erstwhile support for Jeremy Corbyn. If you now claim to have been lying when you proclaimed that Mr Corbyn would make a great prime minister, said an audience member, why should we believe what you say now? Might you not be lying to us again? That was deadly because it goes to the heart of both the Starmer character and the credibility of Labour as what its leader describes as a “changed party”.

If Starmer can be a right hand man and ”close friend” to Corbyn, a Putin supporter, only 4 years ago, and then say he only supported him because “he knew he wouldn’t be elected”, then his duplicity is frightening. To also say that if a family member needed Private health care to survive, then he wouldn’t use it, then such callousness is even more frightening. The fact that he also did not vote for replacement of Trident would have now left us totally exposed to Putin’s current nuclear threats. I suppose he would say that he knew that his vote didn’t make any difference so he didn’t really mean it!

With commitments to throw even more money into the collapsing State Sector rather than face up to the need to dismantle their archaic bureaucracies, whilst also increasing taxes on the wealthy and businesses will simply result in them relocating off shore. The future under a Labour government looks extremely bleak and will certainly be far worse that the fourteen years of Tory misrule. The socialists will again be asking the World Bank for a bale out, a repeat of the financial collapse of the 70s, when highest tax rate was 98% and interest rates 16% with similar rates of inflation plus mass strikes, with the dead not being buried. 

Labour most emphatically have not changed.A leopard doesn’t change its spots. The extreme left of the party are quietly biding their time. If Labour win the general election they will not be slow in imposing their will.Just be very careful what you wish for.

Other than that it was all old news in the debate as it has been throughout the campaign, over and over again we heard the usual prepared lines from both party leaders. Sunak was like a broken record. I think he made the same promise about 'let me cut your taxes or you'll see them soar under Starmer' about thirty times. What was new was the ridiculous line he took about not suspending his candidates. "We have to wait for the authorities to finish their investigations, we can't prejudice this very serious matter". For heaven's sake, one candidate has already confessed! The others have left their jobs and gone to ground. It's not a complicated issue: they either bet just before the election announcement or they didn't and if they didn't why have they left their posts? They cheated and they broke the law. He should have sacked them on the spot, instead he failed to disassociate himself from the sleaze.  

Starmer on the other hand talked a lot about 'delivering the change the country needs without actually defining what he was going to change, Nelson's column into a banana? Stonehenge into a shoping centre? Buckingham Palace into accomodation for asylum seekers?

The only conclusion a voter can come to is that whoever wins we're fucked.

How fucked are we, you might well ask.

We're fucking fucked.

A British university is reportedly instructing students studying to become midwives (since when was a university degree needed to be a midwife?) on how to deliver babies from  a“birthing persons” with a penis.

Edinburgh Napier University's 'skills workbook' issued to midwifery BSc students has come under fire from the sane community in Scotland after it was revealed that students were instructed on how to assist biological males in giving birth. Now you might think that anybody sudying towards a degree in any of the natural or applied sciences would be aware that a biological male cannot give birth, but in the wonderful world of woke wankers such things are possible, you just have to make a wish and get Tinkerbellend to sprinkle fairy dust on the expectant mothers knob.

New UN Report on Climate Change – Nothing New, Nothing True
The latest United Nations (“UN”) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) report, published this week, once again, in scaremongering tone and the language of the panic stricken, claims that the planet is in peril (we are facing climate disaster, the clock is at one minute to midnight, we must take urgent action to destroy civilisation if we are to save the planet, the usual over - dramatised guff designed to spread fear and panic,) basically the same claim as they have been making at least twice a month for the past 20 years.

Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.
