That was the week which I wish wasn’t

Monday blog

I’m afraid I was dumbstruck by two (IMHO) ghastly events last week:

• Trump’s abject surrender to the Islamist murderers in the Iran conflict
• the scale of the Manchester Messiah’s victory mainly due to the (IMHO) irredemiable stupidity of Makerfield’s (particularly female) voters.

Both these events will have massive consequences for our future.

Trump’s appeaasement of and capitulation to the Islamists

What to say? There is only one solution to the evils Iran’s Islamists inflict on the world – the replacement of the Islamist regime with a more psychologically-balanced government. From what little I understand, much of the Iranian population is reasonably well-educated and are not mouthfrothing anti-West fanatics slavering over the destruction of Israel and the Islamist conquest of the West. But for 47 years, Iran has been ruled by a bunch of murderous, unhinged religious zealots who have used the country’s massive wealth to foment attacks on Israel and terrorism around the world while impoverishing and brutally oppressing their own people.

Iran’s armed forces number over 800,000 while the IRGC have only about 125,000 troops. Moreover, there must be millions of Iranian men who have some military experience from having served in the armed forces. The US/Israeli attacks gave Iranians a once-in-a-lifetime chance the throw out the Islamists and install a government which prioritised the Iranian people. We had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to have peace in the Middle East. The Iranian people chose to not seize that opportunity. The Islamists now know there is no effective opposition to their barbaric occupation of Iran. In fact, their resilience in the face of the US/Israeli attacks have probably strengthened the Islamists’ grip on power. So now we are faced with a humiliation of America and Israel and a MIddle East war which will continue for another half century or more.

What a disaster!

The Mancester Messiah’s Makerfield ‘triumph’

The votes have been counted. The result is clear.  The Manchester Messiah – Andrew Burnham – took Makerfield with 54.8% of the vote and a majority of 9,231, on a turnout of 58.7%, the highest at any parliamentary by-election in almost seven years. Labour’s lead over Reform UK, 13 points at the general election, widened to 20. A seat Reform had swept only weeks before, taking all eight of its wards in the May locals on close to half the vote, delivered a thumping Labour win.

Of course, part of the Labour vote was comprised of people voting for the shape-shifting Burnham to get rid of the (IMHO) useless, lying, incompetent, UK-hating, Davos-adoring, UN-worshipping, migrant-hugging, two-tier Keir ‘stoma-bag’ Starmer. But the vote also suggests that, while a party like Reform may gain a large number of parliamentary seats in the next General Election, a supposedly ‘progressive’ alliance of Labour, LibDems and Greens are likely to form the next government and the government after that and the government after that ………

After all, Labour will change the electoral system before the next General Election by, for example, extending the vote to 16- and -17-year-olds and maybe replacing ‘first-past-the-post’, (assuming Labour even allow us another General Election) to ensure Reform never gets anywhere near power. Moreover, Labour will probably grant an amnesty to several million illegal, often uneducated, often unemployable, sometimes criminal, sometimes rape-obsessed Third-world migrants claiming that this will ‘help the economy’ or be ‘more fair’ or some suchlike nonsense, just as Spain has done. This will add several million more Labour voters to the electoral register and encourage millions more to make the totally safe journey across the English Channel to be ferried in comfort to four-star hotels in Britain by Britain’s useless Border Farce and the (IMHO) anti-British, UK-loathing RNLI.

Yippeee, even more Labour voters!

Just these two events have led me to think that last week was the week which I wish wasn’t.
