Not since Samson brought down the temple has there been such a disaster as this week’s British election. In American terms it was a perfect case of ‘throw the bums out.’
Good show. Healthy democracies need to be purged and renovated. Britain’s Tories (Conservatives) were in power for 14 long years. Far too long. They lurched from scandal to incompetency to sheer buffoonery.
I have always been a passionate Anglophone. I almost went to Cambridge and King’s College London. The nicest thing my father ever did was to take me to visit majestic Warrick Castle. I admire the British for being superb soldiers, valiant mariners and brilliant talkers. After all, they command what has become the world’s language. But they are not always great political leaders.
Ousted prime minister Rishi Sunak was a decent fellow with great family wealth. But he was no politician. In an unbelievable gaff, he turned his back on D-Day veterans at the Normandy Celebrations, which have become a semi-religious event to the western nations. He should have invited Vladimir Putin since it was Russia/the Soviet Union that really won World War II.
Then there was the transcendentally stupid plan to ship third world migrants from Britain back to – of all places – Rwanda! Who thought up this hare-brained scheme? Monty Python or Benny Hill? Or the lugubrious conservative Reese-Mogg.
Why on earth did the Conservatives appoint a prime minister of Indian background, and then a confused Chancellor of the Exchequer from Africa? They must have known that many Brits are wary of foreigners. We saw this in Britain’s foolish, disastrous exit from EU membership. The chief proponent of this foolish gambit was Nigel Farage who won a parliamentary seat.
Britons have had enough Third Worlders. They are tired of trying to provoke war with Russia. At least Farage got it right when he had the courage to say that that the US and NATO forced Russia into the Ukraine War.
Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour party is no longer the old hard left party. His party is a collection of trendy-lefties and petit bourgeois voters. They were not graduates of Oxford or Cambridge, but smart enough to see that the Tories were confused and inept. The tidal wave of Labour votes across central and northern Britain could set a leftward trend for many years to come.
Starmer will not have to fight with the mighty Rothschilds to see who will really run the Conservative Party. The Rothschilds managed to purge Labour of its ardent left-wingers, led by Jeremy Corbin, by mounting a noisy campaign alleging the party was packed by anti-Semites.
In reality, many hard leftists were critical of Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians, not anti-Semites. But in the UK, with its narrow-minded press, criticism of Israel’s human rights violations is always countered by bogus claims that the critics are anti-Semites. Press baron Rupert Murdoch led the attacks on Labor’s left and supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
I’m sure Starmer will do a better job than the bumbling Sunak. We have not seen a really strong Labour leader since the odious but clever Tony Blair, a creature of the Murdoch press empire.
Today’s Brits have lost their warlike panache. But it will return. Over my bed hangs the magnificent ‘Scotland forever – Charge of the Scots Grey’s’ at Waterloo., by Lady Jane Butler. I still thrill at the memory of the storming of the Alma, Rorke’s Drift, the Thin Red Line at Balaclava (which I’ve reverently visited,), Sir Richard Grenville’s ‘Revenge’ taking on most of the Spanish Fleet. This is the true Briton, not the recent bunch of clowns at Westminster. Sir Keir, make England proud again!
are you really so clueless that you don’t know why sunak was appointed? you can’t see the desperate attempt to pull india into the western sphere of influence, rather than join into the full brics coalition of the new geopolitical and economic, rising world order? well at least modi isn’t as stupid as you, and will not fall for this or the nikki haley stalking horse.
this is almost as humorous as your “heathly democracy” bullshit. keir starmer represents democracy? that’s like saying israel represents democracy, you fucking idiot. but you’re not really a fucking idiot, you’re just paid to appear, to be a fucking idiot, to appeal to fucking idiots, a far worse crime.
a special thank you, to ron unz, for providing this pinata, to beat the sweets out of.

Great fortunes have been made without having a personality, but politics requires
at least a semblance of one. Sunak failed that test. It is not outright racism, but
many British voters still yearn for a return to whiteness. It is universal that people
want to be governed by one of their own, although it is also true that few people
might want Boris Johnson or Liz Truss in their family.
Mr Starmer raises his children as Jews who adhere to the Jewish faith. His wife is a Jewess.
No antisemite, he.
If they were from Rwanda, I’d say a rational man who cares about his nation thought of that.
Why can’t you be more like Anglin and just say “the Jews” instead of “the Rothschilds”? Or at least say “the Cousinhood”.
Because they are zoglodytes, led by schizo jews?
So appointing multi-cult globalists is stupid, but so is withdrawal from the self-destructive, multi-cult globalist EU, which is also being run into the ground by you jews?
You jews are a strange lot. You’re really schizo psychopaths, when it comes down to it, trying to finesse your way through existence, buying, bribing and corrupting your way through life, despoiling everything you touch, yet holding yourselves up as “all the best people”. It becomes exhausting, and so you say, We’re going to set up Israel and get back to the soil and hard work and an honest living!But Israel inevitably becomes just another corrupt, mass murderous kike’s nest of grifters, killers and hypocrite, organized crime gang scum.
You jews are really something else. Have you ever thought of crawling in a desert hole with a grenade and pulling the pin, thus saving the trouble and expense of funeral costs? Or are you dead set on whitewashed tombs and grandiose oratory on how chosen and special you were, where a cast of your playacting kin will pretend to believe the narrative of lies, just like they did in all of the shit shuls you’ve set up around the world as satanic covens to poison God’s green earth?
Without the Prussians saving their asses at the last minute, the British would have been mincemeat at Waterloo.
Maybe because “the Jews” as a group bear as much responsibility for the actions of their rich and powerful as is true of non-Jews? Non-elites may be enablers, enforcers, and beneficiaries; rarely deciders.
The actions of the Rothschilds, Sabains, Pritzkers et al. can be uncovered. Of course, wether their elites behave any more depraved than our elites is a different matter.
True, but relevant how?
The mass of jews in Israel are nearly 100% behind the genocide. Likely, so are the mass of world jewry.
So yes, the mass of jews are indeed “responsible” for being criminal scum.
Now, you might argue that the mass of jews were brainwashed, coerced, thought-controllled, and incentivized to be criminal scum, but if so stated, then why shouldn’t Zionism/jewishness be outlawed, and their leaders arrested, jailed and executed as organized criminals, instead of given free rein to spread their vile, toxic, murderous organized criminal “values” around the globe?
The ICC is taking baby steps, but I fear it’s really going to take a world war. And the jews will be fine with that, because they’re such souless, miserable, fanatical pricks, they’re happy and even eager to die in a mass conflagration.
At some point, the jews crossed the line into Satanism.
My comment referred to the diaspora Jews rather than Israelis. Nevertheless, my argument largely remains the same. Even if “nearly 100%” of Israeli Jews support the atrocities against the Palestinians, it only matters to the degree that their government’s policies changed if the populace did not support them.
Admittedly, keeping the power while shifting the blame is a central conceit of a republic posing as a democracy. Do you think the Israelis can vote themselves out of their predicament?
Regarding the Jewish soul or the lack thereof, I will not question your beliefs but accept that you do believe what you say.
Well, I would not have thought that anyone among the “Men of Unz” is such a lightweight like Mr. Margolis. His sympathy for “Great” Britain is sincere and his enthusiasm for “strong leaders” as well. On the other hand, his knowledge of how the world works is nil.
Take his peroration about a “tidal wave of Labour votes across central and northern Britain”. In fact, Labour did only win because the Conservatives lost even more votes than they.
And Sunak’s Ruanda plan was in no way absurd. Sunak, as Meloni etc., fell prey to a huge net of legal snares which make immigration restriction nearly impossible. The Ruanda plan was a desperate, but ingenuous attempt to find an escape. Starmer may be “stronger”, but will not even try to find an escape, whatever he has promised.
At some point in life comes the realization that total war, complete devastation, has productive outcomes.
In the first place, a lot of dead underbrush is cleared out. Baroque cultural curlicues that do nothing but hamper getting things done such as feminism, gayism et al. are quickly weeded out. Funds and toleration dry up and self-indulgence withers and blow away. Neighbors have little use for parasites during times of war and they are ruthlessly culled.
Expecting that results should follow intentions generates an absolute need for clarity in communication. Writing becomes more streamlined. Pared down and to the point, text is cleaned up. Compare a math or science textbook from 1965 with the same from 2020. The former is spare and lean, the latter larded down with gay illustrations that only confuse etc.
Great progress is made in turning theoretical gains in physics into practical engineering accomplishments, Radar etc. resulting in huge gains in post-war lifestyle.
War brings the cream to the top. The ineffective are weeded out. Lifers, careerists etc. are ruthlessly shoved aside by those who can get things done. A new class of leaders arises who are gifted and visionary doers who expect the same from their subordinates. Either that or one loses.
But even if one loses, the conqueror generally appoints locals as administrators who can get things done.
Old, wasteful ways of doing things are discarded. Fascism as streamlined futurism was not a fantasy of atavistic right-wing kooks; the opposite in fact. As surely as the American Revolutionaries discarded the ridiculousness of the Divine Right of Kings, so did the Italian Fascists of the 1930’s look forward to the abolition of the influence of the Roman Catholic Church and all of its attendant Medieval gargoyles.
Heraclitus was right. Strife is inevitable and useful. It is, as much as peace, the Way of the World; the roaring forest fire that cleans out the underbrush and causes the opening of pine cones that reseed and bring forth new growth.
One could argue that due to the these effects during and after WW2, Jews benefitted more than any other group.
What a light-weight, superficial error-strewn piece of writing. A sorry attempt at comedy possibly? An ignorant clue-less disingenuous agenda-pushing lying fuckwit piece of filth looks out from inside the MSM bubble. What world is this guy describing? Just pure fantasy, no comprehension whatsoever of the history, character, politics or society, of real life in Britain, instead just these tiresome worn-out myths re-peddled. Starmer is total scum, owned, compromised by past filth and lust for filthy lucre. He’s even a politician named after a politician -Keir Hardy, it’s not even funny. We would all like to know what this disgusting crawling traitor done to be knighted Sir Shitstain, but such ‘honours’ can be taken back again, as Vidkun Quisling OBE learned. Starmer exemplifies the idea that any one seeking political power should be utterly excluded from ever doing so. A creepy murderous already blood-soaked Midwich Cuckoo, enabler of evil. Almost human-looking but moves jerkily like a robot and has less moral discernment than a microprocessor. He should have been drowned at birth.
What we are seeing is the duo-poly handing over to the other fake party, in a rigged electoral process. This is not democracy, nor even the pretence of it any more.
Tbe jews and their zoglodyte stooges are the parasites you speak of, forever humping walls (and molesting and brainwashing children), living off of goyim taxpayer largesse and the Federal Reserve Ponzi, grifting and professional guilt-tripping, and organized terror like the 9/11 inside job and the wars for Israel.
How could history’s ultimate parasite, the jew golden calf collective, ever be anything but a parasite on civilization? They’re even carpetbagging parasites on war.
jews are golden calf Ponzi parasites and organized criminals. They know what they are, and they behave as they are. jews who don’t behave or acquiesce to jew behavior simply leave the cult/culture. But the jew gurus do everything they can to mess them up in their formative years so they can’t leave the parasite cult and survive.
The best way for a jew to leave the Zionist and zoglodyte parasite cult is by becoming a hard core antisemite.
Did you ever see Martin Scorsese’ The Last Temptation of Christ when Jesus and his crew are charging through the desert, striking down Semitic sand scum that emerge from their worm holes to challenge them?
That’s a depiction of antisemitic Christendom.
In many cases it was Jews themselves who, as Sondercommandos and Capos, administered the daily function of the camps. Having been responsible for making the terrible decisions which sacrificed the lame, halt and elderly so that the young and healthy may live and survive the cataclysm, the Jewish population itself was sculpted as I suggested in my comment above.
Postwar peace and prosperity has provided fertile soil for the resurgence of fairy-tale excesses.
Margolis.
Another case where the surname explains every head-scratcher in the text.
“Legal snares” and a multitude of other impediments have
made meaningful reforms almost impossible. It’s hard
to believe that this was entirely accidental since the entire
government is designed to serve the oligarchy, and only
a populist dictator could effectively end the current
dictatorship of the plutocrats.
Liberal democracy is neither liberal nor democratic.
What a strange comment. It simply lists conclusions that the reader is supposed to reach, and presents no reasons or authority or even rhetorical flourishes that would support these conclusions. It’s the sort of thing that the bad guys from Atlas Shrugged would have said. It is not full of swear words and scatology, but that’s the most that can be said for it.
Churchill: “I have no intention presiding over the dissolution of the British Empire.”
And proceeded to do precisely that. Starting with 1939.
“tidal wave of support” for Starmer LOL.
He polled less than Corbyn did last time.
She might, in all probability also be his Israeli Embassy liason officer.
