The horizon is not so far as we can see, but as far as we can imagine

The Great Thing About Britain’s Labour Party Is… Nothing

So, a possible replacement for the execrable Starmer:

Same old, same old. Saw someone mention that the Polish pension is being reduced to age 60, while the British one will start at 69. So I did a bit of research, and in purchasing parity terms the Polish one is larger. British waterways are full of sewage, because they privatized the war companies, which refuse to treat water properly or maintain the plants they bought from the government, but they are paying massive dividends, and that’s what matters. The NHS is in tatters, as it’s the last thing left for the British government to privatize.

And, of course, the UK has been all in on genocide, not just selling the Israelis weapons, but sending ships and planes to actively defend Israel.

Here’s the latest tracking poll:

Well, isn’t that special. This is far worse than I thought, because Labour is still . And that means Britain is extra special doomed. As I have predicted since about 2020, Britain will be the first western nation to fully un-develop. Reform will win the next election. Since they’re conservative idiots they won’t fix anything. Immigrants will get it in the neck, and yes, Britain has brought in too many, but that’s a symptom, not a cause.

So things won’t improve, then Labour will probably get back in and fuck things up some more. Or perhaps the Conservatives.

I had hoped that the Greens would get into second place and the Labour/Conservative duopoly would be broken. Maybe that will still happen, we’ve got a ways to go and I have great confidence in Labour’s ability to run Britain further into the dirt.

But the likely best case is Reform gets four years, then the Greens get in. At that point we’re into the 2030s, and there isn’t much left of the British economy to work with: you’ve got the City (finance) and not much else. Every month I read about some British industrial company being bought out by foreigners, and then they start moving the jobs out.

More likely is that the Greens (or whoever the left wing alternative is) don’t get into power until the mid 2030s. And maybe the Brits will elect Reform, Labour, Reform. They’ve been electing the wrong person and party reliably since 1979 after all.

There’s a lot of ruin in a nation, but it’s not actually infinite, and the Brits have been ruining their nation since 1914 (arguably since 1890.)

All British elites now are is agents for the rich who are looting the remains of what British of past generations built. And there’s almost nothing left to loot.

    Just a note or 2 in reply for greater context, Ian. Few people hate and despise the Brits more than me, my Irish blood made me wary of them from a young age. So the brilliant (despite his transphobia) George Galloway on a recent MOATS covered that point about Burnham’s pledge to go to Israel 1st years back (as well as the one now), he was running against Jeremy Corbyn and lost, Corbyn inaugurated, then (like Bernie) surrender-monkeyed all the “Anti-Semitism” bullshit, fired and ousted his own loyal, principled Labour members, set himself up to be betrayed by his “good friend” Starmer, no less!!

    The Imperial viciousness of the Brits with their rigid class system, Private School beatings and forced sodomy, and curdled self-hatred that their Great Empire which ruled over half the world for centuries is gone, is Epic!! Epstein Fury Epic.

    I had to enlarge that chart, but yes, it fully shows the Far Right preference of the suffering Brits. “Please sir, give me another!” (lash).

    When Nigel Farage got his giant Brexit victory, 2016 if memory serves, he was a full-on, Nazi, Oswald Mosley-type, I think he moderated that a bit in recent years but confess I haven’t followed him closely, I think “conservative” is far too kind a word for him and Fascist fits better. (But could be wrong.)

    Another thing that Galloway covered in the same episode was that the other Right-Wing parties, and they are clearly the majority, threw the election to Burnham, he listed 4 or 5 that could’ve claimed a victory and just stood down. I mean it’s a system there as here, the “Big Club” all have each others’ backs. At this point the “respectable” British public are a Death Cult, like the Zionist AshkeNazis they love so much. Yeah, drink filthy water and get sick, your children might die, like in the early Industrial Revolution when the Thames was full of shit!! But hey, Social Darwinism rules, Kill off the Weak or put them in Poorhouses!! Dickens a dissenter, very sentimental, they don’t have too many of those selling books now, I’d guess.

    “Un-development”!! What a concept! Gotta hand it to them, poor Klaus Schwab had to step down from the WEF a couple years ago because his “You will own nothing, eat bugs and be happy” nostrum for the plebs was too evil for even the WEF Princes and Princesses to publicly trumpet.

    Galloway covered that during most of his 53 year career until he was threatened with “Terrorism” charges and had to flee the country, their were NOT majorities of elected public servants in the “Friends of Israel” camp, that only really ramped up with Bush’s Poodle, Tony B.Liar, currently profiting prettily off the Gaza Genocide, killed 10s or hundreds of thousands of Arabs ever since winning acclaim with Bush Jr.

    ” . . .almost nothing to loot,” what a great way to end a society. It’s like the story about the ancient Spartans, someone went to see how they were doing and there were 2 old, sick men who were all that remained of the Warriors who defeated Athens and the Delian League. Infant-exposure to only raise sufficiently strong warriors (& don’t let your Slaves get too fat, they might revolt, and they way outnumber you). The Greeks exceeded as we know in Astronomy (Eratosthenes down in the dry well, measuring the Sun and Moon’s distance from Earth with impressive accuracy), Gymnastics, Rhetoric, Comedy and Tragedy, Philosophy, conquest (they, like the Romans, have a greater legitimate claim to Palestine than the beyond the Pale settlers of Khazar Turkic descent, copies of the Torah in Greek during Yeshua’s lifetime), etc. Gotta give them credit, the Spartans at least believed in Social Darwinism centuries before Charles’ birth.

    The Cruelty is the Point.
