UK IMPOSES SANCTIONS ON ISRAEL FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES

How hysterics perceive the UK's carefully calibrated sanctions against Israel

The United Kingdom announced sweeping new measures Tuesday targeting Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, accusing settlers of carrying out “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians and declaring the occupation unlawful.

Britain's ethnically Jewish Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband told Parliament the government would impose an import ban on goods produced in illegal settlements, along with sanctions on companies and individuals providing construction, infrastructure, financing or real estate services that support settlement expansion. Advertising of settlement properties in the UK will also be banned. France and Canada joined the trade restrictions.

“Today marks the beginning of a new approach,” Miliband said. The British government “agrees that there is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in areas of the West Bank — perpetrated by settler terrorists.” He added that Israel’s occupation is unlawful, citing an International Court of Justice ruling, and that Britain would no longer be a bystander to the erosion of a two-state solution.

The package represents the most significant shift in UK policy toward Israel since Andy Burnham became prime minister in July, succeeding Keir Starmer, who was frequently accused of being weak on Israel. It builds on earlier targeted sanctions against far-right Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich for inciting settler violence, as well as designations of extremist settlers and funding networks.

Officials framed the steps as limited to settlement activity rather than a general boycott of Israel. Pat McFadden, a leading minister in the Labour government, said the measures respond to rapid settlement expansion, including plans for 1,200 new homes in the E1 area east of Jerusalem, which critics say would fragment Palestinian territory. 

Israel has condemned the move as interference and threatened retaliation. The announcement comes amid heightened settler violence and international isolation of Israel following the Gaza war. Miliband insisted the sanctions target illegal activity, not Israel itself, and that Britain remains committed to Israel’s security while upholding international law.

The measures are part of a coordinated international effort, with several European countries already restricting settlement goods, and are also a clear attempt by Britain to bolster its global soft power. 

Meanwhile probable Israeli assets in the UK political ecosystem seem to be revealing themselves.

AFD FAILS TO WIN MAJORITY IN OLDEST & WHITEST GERMAN STATE

From cheers...

by Colin Liddell

The mainstream media seem to be in panic mode about a pro-Putin party "winning big" in the German State of Saxony-Anhalt (population just over 2 million). But there is also plenty of evidence to suggest that Germany's Alternative für Deutschland Party (AfD) has reached a peak and is now scraping its head against a very hard ceiling that should lock them out of power in Germany, while hopefully pushing less Putin-friendly parties in a more nationalist, immigration restrictionist direction.

One thing you have to always realise about the AfD is that although it obviously contains genuine German nationalists, the party itself and its leadership is completely subverted by Kremlin assets or political opportunists who intuit that they must do the Kremlin's bidding in order to succeed in the party.

So, how did the AfD do in the latest election? They got 576,037 votes (43.8% of the vote) in a state that has the oldest and Whitest population in Germany. Old frightened White boomers are, of course, the ideal demographic for the AfD and any other pro-Putinist populist party in the West. 

The average age in Saxony-Anhalt is 48.3 years, versus 44.9 years nationally; while it can also be assumed to be the Whitest state. Although the Federal Republic makes a point of not collecting racial data, Saxony-Anhalt ranks 3rd in terms of migrant population with 7.6% versus 14.8% nationally. However, the largest foreign groups here are from Ukraine, Syria, Poland, Romania and Afghanistan, so it's hardly Mogadishu on the Elbe.

Under the German electoral system, which excludes votes for parties getting less than 5% of the vote, getting around 44% of the vote should have been enough to have secured the AfD a majority of the seats in the state parliament, but in this case they only got 39 out of the 82 seats.

The main reason for this is that the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), an extreme leftist party, managed to get over 5% of the vote and so received (5 seats). But why does the BSW even exist, as there is a perfectly idiotic far-left party in Die Linke for dumb leftists to vote for, which actually got 11% of the vote and 12 seats?

In fact, the BSW split off from Der Linke as recently as 2024 under the pretext of being more "socially conservative, blah blah blah." My view is that the BSW is just another crypto-Putinist party, like the AfD, and split off from Die Linke as part of what I call a "Kremlinshoe Strategy." 

This is a variation of the well-known Horseshoe Theory, in which the extreme Left and Right converge. However, in Kremlinshoe Theory, this convergence can be tactical as well as ideological, and usually has some ulterior motive dictated by the interests of the Kremlin, for example opposing military spending in the West, betraying Ukraine, or increasing dependence on Russian oil gas through abandoning nuclear power, etc.

Viewed in this context, the BSW looks like a Moscow-directed operation to hoover up votes from the Left that the AfD could never reach in an attempt to outflank the so-called Brandmauer (Firewall) of the German establishment parties to stop the AfD getting into power. This Firewall is an agreement by normal political parties not to enter into coalitions with the AfD.

Now, ironically, it looks like the BSW has both stopped the AfD getting an actual majority while also providing it with a way of breaching the Firewall by doing the kind of deal that Die Linke would never do. Together, the AfD and the BSW will have enough votes for a majority. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

The good news is that based on this result and the fact that more revelations of Putinist spying, infiltration, and terrorism in Germany, like the recent terrorist attack at Leipzig Airport, will be forthcoming, it is highly unlikely that the AfD will be strong enough to make a national breakthrough. 

This is exactly why the Kremlin always prefers to employ two shoes in its attempt to subvert Western democracies, attacking both from the right and the left. You have been warned.

...to tears.

Also, remember that until the Kremlin is crushed, no Western democracy will be able to have authentic nationalist politics. In fact, the Kremlin is the main thing that stands between Western countries engaging in the genuine nationalist politics that they need to survive.

SENILE LUNATIC IN WHITE HOUSE RENAMES EUROPE "OLD AMERICA"

Trump: toponymic incontinence

A senile lunatic in the White House, who is in dire need of several diaper changes, has decided to rename the entire continent of Europe as "New America."

This latest piece of insanity follows months and indeed years of increasingly erratic behaviour by the orange looney who was placed in the White House by rural American voters back in 2024 as an elaborate practical joke. 

Since then the rapidly-aging nutter has been been randomly renaming geographic features around the World, while every sane person tries to ignore him.

The mentally damaged freak with fake hair started by renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," then changed Washington's Kennedy Centre to the "Trump-Kennedy Centre," followed by calling Lake Ontario "Lake America."

He has also tried to rename the Strait of Hormuz as "The Strait of Trump," although the Iranians were apparently quick to rename it back at him as the "One-million-bucks-to-go-through Strait."

The latest bout of renaming appears to have coincided with a large emission of froth from the lunatic's mouth. In this fit of toponymic incontinence he retitled the US state of New Mexico "New America" to widespread groans, before moving on to unilaterally rechristen Europe as "Old America." 

The latest psychiatric reports suggests that he next intends to carve four giant portraits of himself on Mt. Rushmore and then rename it "Mount Trumpmore." 

MOSCOW TOMMY INSTIGATES "COKE-FUELLED" KREMLIN PROTEST IN DOVER

Masks off

The first thing to be said about the recent "Stop the Boats" protest in Dover, is that the UK government need to do more to stop the boats. The second thing that needs to be said is that the protest, which saw around 200-300 balaclava-clad men block roads around the Channel port, was not organic. 

Organic protests invariably attract a cross section of people who dress differently and make their feelings known in a variety of ways, and which are not orchestrated.

The protests in Dover by contrast were heavily orchestrated and had a clear chain of command to Irish Traveller and dope addict Tommy Yaxley-Lennon. As recently as June, Robinson, or "Moscow Tommy" as we prefer to call him,  was in his favourite city of Moscow, presumably receiving instructions from his Kremlin handlers. 

The actual protest was handled by Moscow Tommy's henchman Daniel Thomas, a close associate of Robinson who runs "Patriot Platform," a dubious network launched in June 2026, coinciding nicely with Robinson's own "instruction gathering" trip to Moscow. Robinson then amplified the protest on social media, posting videos and updates on X throughout the morning, where another stooge of the Kremlin, Elon Musk, made sure they got a lot of attention. 

Patriot Platform describes itself as an "army of patriots" of "Christian" men organised into local groups across the UK. Yup, all the usual Putinist crap that you see across Europe on its increasingly zombified and manipulated "Far Right." One thing it isn't is organic. Another thing it certainly isn't is Christian.

As you would expect, Daniel Thomas is almost as big a criminal scumbag as his leader Moscow Tommy, with a 2016 conviction for attempted kidnapping related to his drug-dealing business. He is also obviously something of a "quasi-White" with a distinctly "foreign" appearance himself.

The latest saviour of the White race, LOL

In 2016 Thomas and two co-defendants tried to kidnap a man called Graham Page, arriving at his home armed with knives. They punched him, pinned him against a wall and tried to drag him out, believing he had stolen £10,000 of their drugs. Page fought them off and they fled. Like his leader, Robinson, Thomas is a sub-masculine manlet. The other two men, who appeared to do most of the aggro, got longer sentences. Thomas got a lighter sentence for sneakily admitting the charge sooner.

It is significant that both Moscow Tommy and Daniel "druggie" Thomas are tied not just to Moscow but to class A drugs. In fact, class A drugs and pretending to be against migrants seems to be a thing on the shitty and shambolic Far Right in the UK.

According to drugs expert Professor Harry Sumnall at Liverpool's John Moores University, class A drug use is a common feature of so-called "Far-Right" protests:

"If people are going to an event where they are expecting trouble, violence, or they're expecting there to be a high level of socialisation with their in-group, then cocaine is good for that," says Sumnall. "It's good for providing energy, focus, concentration, and reduces fatigue. So if you wanted to be alert at a public event like this, where you might be expecting aggression and confrontation, cocaine is the drug to do that."

At the Dover protest, worried about overcrowded UK prisons, Kent Police failed to arrest any of the troublemakers. If they had, they would probably have found that many of them were pumped up on coke. Clearly these "patriots" have very mixed motives.

TRUMPOCALYPSE ON TRACK: KANSAS TRENDING BLUE

Orange meltdown

The latest news out of Kansas looks extremely bad for Trump, with the Democratic Senate candidate now topping polls in what has been a red state since the time of FDR. If Kansas falls, the Democrats will sweep both houses, possibly with a big enough majority not only to impeach Donald Trump, the most corrupt and paedophile-adjacent President in history, but also to convict him.

According to a Global Strategy Group poll, Democrat challenger Adam Hamilton leads a weak Republican incumbent Senator Roger Marshall by a point.

As reported by GSG:

"The survey also shows clear signs of fatigue with Donald Trump’s chaotic second term. Combined, these factors create a very friendly environment for Hamilton, especially among the moderates who are a key component for any Democratic statewide victory in Kansas."

Also Dem support is firmer:

"Democrats are far more consolidated behind Hamilton (+83) than Republicans are behind Marshall (only +51). Unaffiliateds favor Hamilton by double digits (+18) and his lead among the combined non-conservative Unaffiliateds & Republicans is even larger (+33)."

While much if this is down to Trump fatigue, the Dems are also benefiting form picking a candidate who resonates well with locals. Hamilton is a media-savvy pastor who appeals to Kansas yokels, while Marshall is disliked.

"Most are already familiar with Hamilton and those who recognize him rate him favorably (52% favorable/22% unfavorable), unlike Marshall whose personal favorability is in negative territory (38% fav/45% unfav). Marshall’s job rating is even worse (40% positive/50% negative)."

Marshall's figures are also in the toilet with independents:

"Among the non-conservative Unaffs/Reps who are the key to statewide victory in Kansas, Marshall’s numbers are more deeply underwater (-38 favorable; -42 positive).Marshall is also not perceived as empathetic or in touch. A very limited number believe that “focused on addressing inflation and helping lower costs” (30%), “in touch and listening to Kansans” (37%), and “cares about people like me” (36%) describes Marshall well."

The poll surveyed 800 likely 2026 General Election voters in Kansas on August 12-16, 2026.

Based on this and polls in other red states trending blue, the highly risky option of attempting to steal the Midterm elections is Trump's best bet, especially as he will soon be dead and will thus be able to escape many of the legal consequences (unlike his cronies).

OBSOLESCENT HUMAN FACTORY EQUIPMENT

Unwanted tools 

by Colin Liddell

On the 22nd August, a Volkswagen Passat travelling the wrong way on the A66 near Middlesbrough hit a Cleveland Police vehicle head-on, killing two police officers plus the five young men in the Passat. It appears that the five young men had been responding to an attack on one of their homes by a rival gang. The actual accident happened because the five young men decided to drive the wrong way down a busy road to escape another police car, which then decided to call off the chase because it was "too dangerous" to enforce the law. The ploy of driving the wrong way down a busy road may have suggested itself due to an earlier experience in which one of the young men did the same stunt in a TikTok video. 

The incident focused national attention on the endemic criminality, thrill-seeking, and anti-social behaviour that dominates many public housing estates in the former industrial parts of Britain.

This is fuelled by welfare, boredom, and the leniency of the criminal system. The latter is very much a political hot potato at the moment, as the UK government is being forced to release thousands of criminals early due to a lack of prison places. Also, the UK legal system is dominated by an ideology that seeks to avoid "criminalising" offenders even when they commit criminal acts.

A few days after the not-so-tragic accident, a crowd of friends, family members, and supporters of the young men who were killed "commemorated" them by taking over a nearby farmer's field, letting off balloons, and burning a few cars into the bargain. Again the police stood back so as not to anger or "criminalise" the criminals.

In these and other incidents, including a case of fatal arson, UK politicians have told the British public that the behaviour of these young men and their supporters is "totally unacceptable" while showing every non-verbal sign that they are bending over backwards to totally accept it. 

The problem is that these are traditional "working-class "Labour-voting areas that have recently become receptive to Nigel Farage's Reform UK Party. Although the majority of the population remains actually politically apathetic and generally cynical about politics.

Britain's Labour government feels it has to tread delicately and try not to upset this population, which their policies in the past helped to create, and which already feels half-alienated by its own dysfunction and a still lingering attachment to a social and economic model of Britain that no longer exists. In other words, Labour are planning on doing fuck all in the fond hope that this will all blow over, the media will lose interest, and the dysfunction of post-industrial public housing estates will once again be clouded in the fog of amnesia and apathy.

This is fine as long as no coppers get killed

Essentially the problem here is that these people, including the five young men who died in the head-on collision, are "obsolescent human factory equipment." I am here stealing an idea from American White supremacists who like to disparage post-slavery Blacks as "obsolete farm equipment," but the truth is that all sorts of social or racial groups can become "useful" or "useless" depending on a wide range of changing circumstances.

The hope of earlier UK governments was that this problem could be solved by "re-education." No, not the North Korean type, but the other type that involves fancy diplmas.

One year before he became Prime Minister Tony Blair coined the phrase "Education! Education! Education!" at the 1996 Labour Party Conference as the solution for  these blighted housing estates. But this was naïve nonsense, and of course nothing of substance happened; the problem remained the same. 

Tony Blair pretending to care

The truth is this problem is much more intractable than politicians, economists, and sociologists realise. In fact, it is related to British economic history and the fundamental nature of the British industrial experience. More pointedly it is a question of the nature of Britain's industrial working class, the very class from which Britain's post-industrial (often non-working) class is descended.

As is well known, British industrial success was enormous, with the UK being the dominant global industrial power for at least over a century (1760s-1880s) and then being an extremely important industrial power for perhaps a century after that.

This was built on several factors, which you probably know about already—genius inventors, running water, plentiful coal supplies, domination of the World's oceans, the Protestant work ethic, and plenty of excess capital—but the other very important factor, indeed probably the most important factor, was extremely cheap labour over an unnaturally prolonged period.

All developing countries start off with cheap labour, but, as their economies grow, that soon changes and employers, with their factories booming and facing a labour crunch, are forced to compete to hire workers, driving up wages. That didn't happen in the UK to the same extent, or else it happened at a much slower rate.

In other words, UK labour remained cheaper longer. Why was this?

You could point to a lack of labour organisation; and there is something in that, as trade unions wee essentially invented in Britain but took some time to get going. But the real ace up the sleeve of British capitalism was that they were able to create a "self-impoverishing" working class that acquired the bad habits that constantly immersed it in poverty.

The self-impoverishing nature of the British working classes ensured
a limitless supply of cheap labour, ironically ensuring Britain's wealth

What I am talking about here is gambling, alcoholism, and prostitution, among other things.

During parliamentary debates in 1844, the Bishop of Exeter claimed there were up to 80,000 prostitutes in London. There is also a meme that "one out of every 60 houses in Victorian London functioned as a brothel." More conservative Metropolitan Police figures counted 7,000 to 8,000 sex workers in London at the time. But, whatever the exact figures were, there was a lot of it about, up and down the length and breadth of the country.

However, the assumption modern audiences make, perhaps influenced by cinematic portrayals of the period, is that most of this was upper class men—"toffs" and "dandies"—taking advantage of lower class women. The epitome of this is the Jack the Ripper legend, where the implication is that Jack is clearly upper class—at least a famous surgeon or even a member of the Royal Family—preying on impoverished working-class women forced into prostitution. The reality, however, is that the vast majority of the clientele of Victorian prostitution, as with alcoholics and gamblers, were members of Britain's vast, self-impoverishing working class.

Those who avoided these traps, by being puritanical, tea-totalling, or straight-edged, could seldom fail to rise in Britain's booming economy. The paradox is that this booming economy was firmly based on the poverty of the majority of the people it employed.

Being impoverished and in debt was essentially the main driver of low wages that kept Britain's "economic miracle" on track for much longer than other economic miracles we have seen, like the Post-War Japanese economic miracle. This latter example ran out of steam for various reasons in the 1990s, but one important reason was because the inherently self-disciplining Japanese workforce overcame its "virtual poverty" by losing the expensive habits that it had picked up in the 1960s and 70s which made it work much harder than was good for itself.

Karoshi

But the focus here is on the post-industrial British working class. In its Victorian heyday, swelled by Catholic Irish immigrants, this demographic served the useful function of being cheap "human factory equipment," while, for the most part, maintaining the wasteful lifestyle habits that ensured its poverty.

It was this that then dictated its low wages, because workers who could put money aside, instead of blowing it all, would be able to demand higher wages from employers. But, thanks to the large number of the continually impoverished, the more abstemious and prudent members of the working class were unable to force up wages. Indeed, they would either be priced out of the labour market by their more desperate fellow workers, or have to upskill and become members of the middle classes themselves. Another option was that by accruing capital they could also emigrate to America or various British colonies, where labour was more valuable, something that was outside the range of the more drunk and disorderly elements of the British working class.

Pissing away a chance to emigrate to one of the better colonies or to upskill into the Middle Classes

It is this aspect of the Victorian British working class that explains so much about the behaviour of their post-industrial, welfare dependent descendants—from the proneness to addiction, pointless thrill-seeking, disrespect for authority, littering, vandalism, anti-social behaviour, and crime. 

What we have here is a problem not just of obsolete "human factory equipment," but of a population riddled with the DNA and culture of self-destructive, self-impoverishing behaviours that once suited the needs of Britain's industrial elites.
