The Daily Mail today claims that “Humiliated Trump” has been forced to accept a ceasefire. And for much of the last few weeks there have been a flood of articles in the mainstream media about “Trump’s blunders”.
Are we really sure Trump has been humiliated? And are we sure he has blundered?
There has been so much ignorant commentary and unfounded speculation from supposed ‘experts’ about the current Middle East war, that I thought I might add my own smidgen of total ignorance.
Fact 1: The Israeli intelligence services know practically everything that is happening in Iran.
Fact 2: The IRGC and its bearded lunatic chums imported to murder Iranian citizens only number about 135,000, though hopefully a fair few of those are in Paradise with their 72 virgins
Fact 3: The Iranian army has over 800,000 members plus, as Iran has conscription, there must be at least a million more Iranians with some military experience
Fact 4: The Shah’s son has just made a broadcast to the Iranian army asking them to stand up for Iran and throw out the brutal, death-obsessed Islamic fundamentalists who have wrecked Iran for the last 47 years.
It’s possible that the two-week ceasfire will give the Iranian army and Iranian people the chance to overthrow the bearded lunatics. If the Iranians don’t take this opportunity to free themselves, then a hell of misery and oppression awaits them. It’s now up to the Iranians to decide their future.
Iranians, choose wisely!
And to cheer us all up a little, here’s a gem from ‘Not The Nine O’Clock News’ from decades ago:
Hopefully you’ll have noticed that on virtually every BBC News report about events in Britain, the BBC always ensures that, when supposedly interviewing the general public, they feature people from different ethnicities. The aim is, of course, to brainwash us into believing that we are a diverse, multi-ethnic country.
But yesterday, the BBC seems to have made an exception to their ‘always include people from ethnic minorities’ rule. Why was that? In a report about the scrapping of the two-child benefit cap, the BBC only interviewed a White British woman with three White British children. Was that because the BBC couldn’t find anyone from an ethnic minority who had more than two children? Or was that because the BBC didn’t want to give the impression that families with more than two children mostly came from ethnic minority communities?
Tough question?
Here’s a table of fertility rates (TFR) by ethnicity in the UK:
As you’ll see, the Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities have much higher fertility rates than White British. In fact, although White British still make up 79% of the UK population, since 1997, when New Labour seriously weakened a number of key immigration controls, the share of live births to non-UK born mothers has doubled from about 13% to 29%. In London, a majority of births (just under 60%) are now to non-UK born mothers, and such births now approach 80% in the London boroughs of Brent and Newham.
Moreover, although ethnic minorities (soon to be majorities) only account for 21% of the UK population, children from ethnic minorities make up around 40% of all children in primary and secondary schools.
The fertility rate of White British has now fallen to around 1.3 children per female, while the fertility rate of ethnic minorities (soon to be ethnic majorities) remains comfortably above two children per female.
So you can see why Starmer’s UK-loathing government was so keen to scrap the two-child benefits cap. And you can see why the BBC was desperate to avoid interviewing anyone from an ethnic minority (soon to be majority) group in its report. The BBC didn’t want us worthless, ignorant plebs to get the impression that it was mostly ethnic minorities (soon to be majorities) who would benefit from the scrapping of the two-child cap and how quickly White British were becoming a minority in their own country.
I realise this is far from being the most important story at the moment. But I thought it might be worth mentioning because sometimes the BBC’s gaslighting can be quite subtle as I don’t think anyone else has noticed what the BBC did yesterday.
Welcome to Starmer’s collapsing Britain and ‘Sir’ Sadiq Khan’s lawless London.
A long-serving Waitrose employee was sacked after stopping a suspected shoplifter stealing a bag of luxury Easter eggs.
Walker Smith, 54, was working at the supermarket’s Clapham Junction branch in south London when a shopper alerted him to the alleged theft. “They told me someone had filled up a Waitrose bag with the eggs,” he said. Mr Smith said the suspect was known to staff and had targeted the store before.
He confronted the individual and “grabbed the bag”, but the person pulled it back, leading to a brief struggle. The bag split during the scuffle, sending Lindt Gold Bunny Easter eggs, worth £13 each, crashing to the floor. The shoplifter then fled.
Mr Smith said he was previously told not to approach shoplifters but the toll of repeatedly seeing them get away with theft spurred him into action. “I’ve been there 17 years. I’ve seen it happen every hour of every day for the last five years,” he said. “It’s everybody from drug addicts to teenagers nicking bits and bobs or walking out with bottles of wine in their arms. We’re not allowed to do anything.”
He said security had been scaled back in the shop, with no guards working on Mondays and Tuesdays because “shoplifting incidents aren’t reported enough”.
Official figures show there were 519,381 shoplifting offences recorded in England and Wales in the year to September 2025, a 5 per cent rise on the 492,660 logged the previous year, according to the Office for National Statistics. So that makes around 1,500 a day, though most probably don’t get reported.
I’ve been dealing with some health issues but hope to be back soon with my own material.
In the meantime, let’s applaud President Trump who says the unsayable causing panic among our useless West-hating, corrupt, cowardly, surrender-monkey rulers – “Go get your own oil”
That third-rate, mid-managerial, lying robot Starmer seems to have a new catch-phrase – “I will always act in the best interests of the British people“. As he stands at a lectern with a Union Jack behind him, the (IMHO) recidivist-lying PoS solemnly declares his patriotism and dedication to our country. I’m surprised he manages to say “I will always act in the best interests of the British people” without bursting into laughter.
Anyway, let’s just spend a few moments testing lying PoS Starmer’s claim: “I will always act in the best interests of the British people”:
letting around 50,000 men from the world’s worst and most primitive, violent, misogynist sh*t-holes come to Britain across the Channel while doing absolutely nothing to stop the boats
making the UK the most attractive country in the world for illegal migrants with free accommodation, free food, free clothes, free medical and dental care, free spending money and huge amounts of free legal aid to fight any attempt to deport them
forcing British households and businesses to pay the highest energy prices in the developed world bankrupting both people and businesses
refusing to use Britain’s energy resources – oil, gas and coal – to lower British energy prices and provide Britain with a secure source of energy in an increasingly turbulent world
giving away British territory – in fact, paying other countries billions of our money to take territory we control. The Chagos Islands are just the first step in the process. Starmer is also handing Spain more control over Gibraltar and I suspect the Argies will be getting the Falklands fairly soon as Starmer claims he is forced to obey “international law”
wrecking the ‘special relationship’ with the USA in order to drag Britain back into Starmer’s beloved corrupt, bureaucratic, stagnant EU
taxing businesses into bankruptcy in order to have more money to shower on our useless, do-nothing, achieve-nothing, skive-from-home public sector and on the nine plus million who can’t be arsed to get out of bed in the morning and go to work
setting up a two-tier justice and policing system whereby any White Brit writing hurty words on the Internet gets investigated and often tried and imprisoned while thieves, muggers and rapists from non-white communities are usually just handed suspended sentences if they are even punished at all
crushing freedom of speech with new laws and restrictions and definitions so that anyone daring to criticise Starmer’s ship-of-fools government or its policies risks fines and even imprisonment
scrapping jury trials for many offences making it easier for the government to throw its opponents in prison
delaying and cancelling elections in areas where Labour thinks that Reform might win
ensuring that White British will be a minority in their own country by the 2050s
I could go on with this rant. But I guess you get the picture.
Yes, Mr Starmer might not be being totally honest when he claims: “I will always act in the best interests of the British people”
First I just wanted to bring you a comment written by one viewer of a YouTube video about the Derby car ramming.
“All the 7 people injured will be arrested for getting in the way of the terrorist trying to wipe out the British people”
You can’t beat British anti-establishment humour. I guess that’s why our UK-hating government is trying to criminalise it and ban it.
Now on to today’s blog.
PPE- Piss Poor Economics?
Here are some recent prime ministers who studied PPE (Politics, Philosophy and Economics) at Oxford University: Harold Wilson, Edward Heath, David Cameron, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. Lots of other British politicians also did PPE at Oxford:
Labour: Ed Balls, Yvette Cooper, Peter Mandelson, David Miliband, Ed Miliband, Ruth Kelly, James Purnell, Tony Benn, Barbara Castle, Alan Beith, Rushanara Ali.
Conservative: Jeremy Hunt, Philip Hammond, William Hague, Damian Green, Nicky Boles, Alan Duncan, Chris Huhne, Michael Heseltine, Nigel Lawson.
Liberal Democrat: Ed Davey, Danny Alexander.
And, of course, Britain’s most successful female Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, also studied at Oxford. Though she did the serious course – Pure Economics.
So what?
Theoretical nonsense?
One of the basic principles of economics is the ‘Supply and Demand Curve’. Here’s just one example:
I think this means if demand for an item increases, then the price asked will often increase. Conversely, if demand falls, then the price may also reduce in order to stimulate demand.
Professor Google helpfully adds:
“Adam Smith (1723–1790) popularised the concepts of supply and demand in The Wealth of Nations (1776), describing them as the “invisible hand” that guides free markets toward equilibrium. He theorized that market prices, driven by competition, naturally balance the quantity producers supply with the demand from consumers”.
Meanwhile back in the real world
Let’s imagine a multi-national company with manufacturing plants in say Britain, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Let’s just assume for simplicity that the factories make chocolate bars. Now let’s imagine a business-hating Labour government gets elected in Britain as people revolt after 14 years of Tory lies, incompetence, bungling, corruption and treachery. Now let’s imagine that the business-hating Labour government massively increases taxes on business and on anybody who can be bothered to get up in the morning and go to work. At the same time this business-hating Labour government hugely increases the benefits paid to the 9+ million scroungers and parasites who’d much rather stay at home watching Netflix or suchlike on their widescreen TVs than go to work.
The continuing increases in taxes and the financial burden of the ever-increasing number of idlers and layabouts send the economy into recession. The demand for chocolate bars in Britain falls. According to the wondrous ‘Supply and Demand Curve’ this will lead to a fall in the price of those chocolate bars. But that’s not what actually happens.
Faced with falling UK demand, the multinational realises that with increasing taxation and the world’s highest energy prices due to the monumental stupidity of Ed ‘two-kitchens’ Miliband’s insane Net Zero economic suicide, that they would be losing money on their British factory were they to reduce the price of their chocolate bars.
So, instead of cutting the price of the chocolate bars as the ‘Supply and Demand Curve’ predicts, the multinational instead shuts its UK factory and starts supplyig the UK market from its factories in Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. More than 150 UK jobs suddenly disappear. This also has a knock-on effect on the town where these 150 workers live as they can no longer afford to buy many of the things they did in the past.
Models like the ‘Supply and Demand Curve’ may have worked in Adam Smith’s era when manufacturing tended to be done within a country. But when most of the things we buy are now provided by multinationals with factories in several countries, a fall in demand in one country doesn’t necessarily lead to a price reduction. Instead it can lead to closing that operation. And once it is closed, it doesn’t re-open even if demand picks up again.
Professor Google tells us: “Based on analysis of ONS data released in early 2026, the UK manufacturing sector experienced a reduction in its workforce of over 36,000 people in 2025“
If I remember correctly, around 185,000 manufacturing jobs were lost in Europe’s manufacturing powerhouse – Germany – in 2025. The loss of these often well-paid jobs will be a catastrophe for those thrown out of work and their families. It will also have been disastrous for the towns where these 185,000 people live, leading to the closure of shops, restaurants, bars and other local facilities.
So, while Rachel ‘1+1=3’ Reeves, Torsten ‘tax-tax-tax’ Bell and Darren ‘they’re mostly women and children’ Jones play around with their outdated economic models, in the real world they are doing irreparable damage to the economy and people’s lives. The clever theoretical models predict that when demand rises again, the 36,000 Brits and 185,000 Germans who lost their manufacturing jobs in 2025 will mysteriously be employed again. Of course, in the real world that doesn’t happen because when businesses close – ‘once it’s gone, it’s gone’.
How stupid do they think we are? You’ll have seen the many reports that two “British” men have been arrested (then released on bail) suspected of the arson attack on the Jewish ambulances in Golders Green (London).
Every article about the arrest of the two men stresses they are “British”.
The Guardian tells us: “Two UK nationals released on bail while Met continues investigation into incident in Golders Green”.
The BBC: “The men, British nationals aged 47 and 45, were arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life and have now been bailed until April“.
The Washington Post: “Two British men detained in a suspected antisemitic hate crime are released on bail”.
The Metropolitan Police: “The men – [A] aged 47 and [B] aged 45 and both British nationals – were arrested on the morning of Wednesday, 25 March at addresses in north west London and central London areas respectively”.
CNN: “The pair, British nationals aged 47 and 45, were arrested at two separate addresses in the capital on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement Wednesday”.
It could be that the men are just ordinary criminals hired to carry out the attack. Or it could be that at least one of the men is called “Mohammed”. Will we ever be told? Or in the interests of ‘community cohesion’, the case will be kicked into the long grass and it will be months or longer before the truth comes out?
In passing, it might be worth mentioning that two men setting fire to ambulances with the intent of endangering life are granted bail as they are clearly no threat to society. And two of our Muslim friends who launched a brutal attack on police officers at Manchester Airport are granted bail as they are clearly no threat to society. But a white Brit writing and then quickly deleting a hurty tweet is refused bail, tried with incredible haste and immediately imprisoned.
By the way, what happened to the two Pakistani Muslims filmed attacking police at Manchester airport? Kicked into the long grass?
By the way, what happened to the alleged Ukrainian rent boys alleged to have attacked a property and a car in North London which are alleged to have some connection with our noble and honourable Prime Minister? Kicked into the long grass?
The more you think about it, the ‘long grass’ seems to be rapidly filling up with cases our leaders don’t want us knowing anything about.
When the anti-government protests broke out in Iran, many protestors kept calling for US president, Donald Trump, to help them throw out the oppressive, incompetent, corrupt and murderous Islamic regime. Trump promised help. But rather than launching a few inconclusive air strikes, he took the time to assemble a massive military force and then the US and Israel destroyed most of the IRGC’s air force, air defences, navy and military installations and have sent many of the mad Ayatollahs’ key figures to Paradise. But Trump was very clear about his objectives:
Degrading Iranian Missile Capabilities
Annihilating the Iranian Navy
Preventing a Nuclear Weapon
Limiting Regional Proxies
One thing Trump made very clear was that the US would not be invading to topple the blood-drenched medieval Islamic regime. His message to Iranians was along the lines of: ‘We’ll cripple the IRGC and devastate the Islamic regime, but if you want regime change, you’ll have to do that yourselves.’
If I remember correctly, the IRGC has around 135,000 combatants. Though hopefully that number has been considerably reduced since the US/Israeli assault started. The Mad Mullahs also have another 5,000 to 10,000 goat botherers imported from several Arab countries to murder Iranian protestors in the streets, hospitals and even their own homes. The regular Iranian army has over 800,000 troops. Moreover, as military conscription is compulsory in Iran, there must be well over a million men who are now in civilian life but who have some military experience. I had assumed that, once the IRGC’s military capabilities had been considerably degraded and their leaders discombobulated, the army would take over, throw out the crazed Ayatollahs and prepare the country for a more westernised, more democratic and more prosperous future.
But nothing seems to have happened. The Iranian army’s more than 800,000 troops seem to have become invisible.
Of course, nobody is ever going to listen to a nonentity like myself. But my warning to the Iranians is that at some point the Americans and Israelis will consider that they have achieved their main objectives and back off. If the Iranians don’t seize the opportunity they now have to rid their country of the bloodthirsty, death-obsessed Islamist lunatics, the retribution the Mullahs will exact on the Iranian population will be horrific. Crane operators will be very busy indeed conducting public hangings of ‘the enemies of God’.
So Iranians, this is your chance. You’d better take it while it’s there. As Nike advise: “Just do it!” If you don’t move now, Hell is coming to breakfast!
