Keir Starmer: Nationalisation of British Steel was the logical thing to do in terms of British National Security

 

The nationalisation of a strategic resources was the logical thing to do. Moreover, the company was requirinig state subsidies to operate to the point that Chinese owners were about to shut down furnaces. In esence, this means that Chinese owners thought that the company was not commercially viable.

Once furnaces could be shut down, British Steel would be dead in the water. So Keir Starmer did was rational to keep British Steel alive without having to provide subsides to private investors.

Steel plays a major role in infrastrure and in the defense industry. Instead of importing steel, Britain can produce its own. It will be costly, but it makes sense because it make Britain less dependent in times when, at any given time in the near future, Britain could go to war.

The new Prime Minister Andy Burnham has stated that he wants to re-industrialise Britain, so it makes sense to nationalise steel that is a major component for both civilian and military endeavours.

Transport is a major issue when it comes to uniting the country and when it comes to National Security. Andy Burnham has indicated his intention to bring back all railway transport into public ownership. Something remains to be said about fast railway transport that is still in private ownership and about project that were abandoned by Rishi Sunak "due to escalating costs". Such costs are directly related to private contractors. The state might decide to continue the project employing public resources instead of private contractors, thus controlling costs directly.

Britain - July 20th 2026 - Business as usual or the start of major changes?

 

Prime Minister Andy Burnham?

Will July 20th 2026 mark a new beginning or the beginning of the end? Much has been said, but nothing has been confirmed. It is just words in the air. We know practically nothing about what the direction of travel will be. We are being deliberately left in the dark and this is never reassuring.

Uncertainty and fear and little hope. Once the limelights are no more, we have landed down on the same political realities. Expect no miracle. Expect a lot of pain. Much more pain that you thought that you would have to bear because there is not a chance that in the short or medium term economic prospects will improve.

Keir Starmer left having brought British Steel into the public sector. Andy Burnham is planning to bring all railway transport into the public sector and is talking about re-industrialising Britain. But he does not go so far as talking about bringing all utilities into the public sector.

United Europe? Is this a joke?

You would have to be deaf and blind to still talk about a United Europe. Europe is fat approach the point when European countries will be at each others´throats. Or they already are at each others´throats. No amount of propaganda will hide the fact that divisions that date from decades ago are coming to the surface. There is no denying that Western Ukrainian supported the genocide of thousands upon thousands of Jews and also manned concentration camps when the Wehrmacht was engaged in battle. Moreover, many Western Ukrainians were deployed as Waffen SS in the Eastern Front and played a role in the extermination of thousands upon thousands of Poles. Moreover, the Ukrainians decided to be a separate part of Poland, and went on the rampage against Poles and this happened before World War Two.

United Europe? The cracks are more than visible and war between EU countries is not impossible.

War in Europe is not an if. It is a when: Luftwaffe ready to attack

 

Germany ready to attack

Lt Gen Holger Neumann says Luftwaffe ready for war.

Of course, Pistorius said that Germany will be ready for war in 2029 and the German military budget is increasing by 80%.

Seeing the British pussyfooting around with Cabinet ministers resigning because they are not been given the funds that they need or listening to MPs saying that there is a lot of waste in the Armed Forces is not encouraging.

We are the third largest world economy and the largest economy in Europe, German representatives have said. We - Germany - will be in charge of security in Europe. The message is loud and clear. What is it that European leaders do not understand?

Recently, Germans and Frech did not agree in terms of who is in charge of a jet fighter project. At this moment in time, there is no agreement and there is every chance that Germany will go it alone and restart an industrie for which it was worldwide famous. Germany produced the fastest and the first jet fighter ever produced that took part in combat operations. All men and women up to 45 years of age are supposed to serve in the military. Even reservists of up to 70 years of age could be called.

Britain has not managed to produce a single tank unit that is fit for combat. Is Britain producing any jet fighters? The answer is no. Britain either sold or dismantled its war related industries. So really and truly it is up to German to control security in Europe.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer with his usual level of lack understanding of what is actually happening, made a fuss about warning shots fired by a Russian ship when a private yacht was about to collide with

the Russian ship. Britain is out of its depth. A hundred times more vulnerable than in 1940. 

UK: Police Incompetence is making matters a lot worse and fuelling hatred

A Sikh man stabbed a white man using a ceremonial dagger and claimed that he was the victim of a racial attack. In fact, it was exactly the opposite and as it came up the Sikh man was the attacker, but politically correct Police believe his version of events and failed to look after a white man that had been stabbed. The victim told Police that he had been stabbed and Police ignored him. Without medical care, the young white male died in Police custody.

This represents everything that is wrong in Britain when it comes to decisions made by brainwashed Police forces that fail in their duty of care.

Not long ago the news came to the surface that Police forces had been involved during more than 16 years in a cover up that left an undetermined number of youngsters, in several cities, to be gangraped, drugged and even murdered by gangs mainly of Pakistani origin that systematically carried out attacks as some sort of religious revenge against British children.

Police failed to act because "they were afraid of being accused of racism". There is a clear pattern and such pattern is now leading to increasing tensions between communities in an environment in which innocent members of all communities are in danger.

Instead of focusing on changing Police mentality, political operators - including the government - are promoting violence and more confrontation.

Crime is crime, no matter who commits the crime, but in Britain what we call justice is not justice as it should be. Justice has become politizised. 

Britain is a country of ghettos and this ghetto reality is a gigantic national security failure. If during peacetime this is happening, I wonder what will happen during wartime. Total chaos. If Britain were at war, Britain would burn from within.

What is the real state of the American Economy: Why has the Federal Reserve had to intervene several times during the passing week?

 

What is the real state of the American Economy? Why has the Federal Reserve had to intervene several times during the passing week?

The Federal Government depends on selling bonds in order to borrow considerable amounts of money and two trillion US Dollars - planned borrowing for 2026 - is an awful amount of money, even by US standards. When investors are only willing to buy bonds are increasingly hight rates or not willing to invest at all in US bonds, this is sure sign of trouble for the US Dollar. Things appear shaky, to say the least, and we are not talking about freezing payments for the Federal Budget. Recently, the US administration was in a prolonged lockdown until, somehow, agreement was reached between the White House and Congress. But what is happennig right now is about a lot more than that. 

Internationally, the US Dollar has been used as measure of value and as a way to store wealth. In most cases, if you want to buy energy (fossil fuels), the US Dollar is the currency reference. Despite the fact that with regards to other currencies - ie the Pound or the EURO - the value of the US Dollar has remained relatively unchanged, the US Dollar has lost support and foreign banks are now reluctant to invest in American National Debt. If the USA can only sell bonds at ever higher rates and/or investors are no longer willing to lend any monies, then any additional printing of monies will certainly throw the USA over the edge. If the worst happens before the November 2026 Mid-Term Elections this would mean that the present Administration has only a few months left and that the next administration will be left with an absolute nightmare.

This could well explain why the present Administration has turned out to be such an aggressive Administration when financial breakdown is no longer a possibility but a certainty in the very short term.

Gaza Stripped: The expansionist Jewish State of Israel and the consequences

Gaza stripped: the Expansionist Jewish State of Israel 

Not a day goes by without yet another massacre. Not a day goes by without more violence. The repercussions of what is happening in Palestine are now spreading worldwide.

In Britain, of all places, the country is being shaken and the inaction of those supposed to take action is generating an environment in which the struggle will take over the streets. If there is bloodshed in the streets then we must prepare ourselves for widespred civil unrest.

Is there a redrawing of the political world in the United Kingdom?

It is plainly visible that the Conservative Party and the Labour Party are no longer that they used to be. In many areas inside the United Kingdom, the two party system has literally collapsed. New political parties have arrived and others are being created because of the partition of existing political parties.

The Labour Party was created because of the Trade Union Movement and now the Labour Party is on a collision course with the Trade Union Movement.

A political migration movement is accelerating. Trying to accommodate a plurality of views, often contradictory, has lead to ambiguities and frustration and lack of trust in big political organisations and, perhaps, the day for Britain to abandon the two party system is long overdue, opening the door to coalitions of smaller parties that better reflect in Parliament the views of individual voters.

Demographics influences, more and more, political life in the United Kingdom, and this is happening especially because of geopolitical issues. In more than one way, the existence of coalitions instead of big political parties is a healthier option, limiting the power of lobbies.

From a geopolitical perspective, no political party on its own would be able to drive the country in a given direction, without the support of a bigger number of voters, thus preventing any military adventures or the start of conflicts based on false premises. There would be greater accountability.

World Conflicts: what we see is an exercise of imperial power and control

Across the world people are being killed in an exercise imperial and colonial power. In 1953, the path towards democracy in Iran was killed by the United States and by Britain. They both wanted Iranian oil and gas resources but a democratic regime stood on their way. Without hesitation, United States and Britain distabilized Iran and appointed the Shah as ruler of Iran. 

A puppet regime was the perfect solution to satisfy American and British greed, but this was not going to last. With the rise of the Islamic Revolution, the Shah was deposed and a theocratic regime took over control of Iran.

The plan has always been to steel Iran´s resources and the present war by proxy against Iran is very much part of the plan. The criminal regime that rules Israel has no qualms in going around mass bombing and mass murdering. So the unprovoked attack against Iran comes as no surprise. It has been planned all along. Did they do the same about Iraq? Of course they did, but it backfired. It totally destabilized Iraq and produced a wave of violence that goes beyond the borders of Iraq.

Adolf Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf that a war with several fronts was serious mistake and it was precisely a war on several fronts that brought the demise of National Socialist Germany. As the Roman Empire and many other empire before and after fell down, the so called West faces dangers that itself contributed to create.

There is a direct link between geopolitics and national politics and it goes without saying that actions on the international arena are generating consequences at national level. The words of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz were "this is the last chance for Germany". Well, he is doing everything possible to get Alternative für Deutschland elected as the new government of Germany. The more he engages Germany in a disastrous set of foreign policy actions, the sooner the rotten CDU/CSU will fall to bits. Bridges falling in Germany. Public buildings that cannot be repaired. The images of bridges falling and public buildings that cannot be repaired are the best images to represent what CDU/CSU are doing to Germany.

 

John Healey: if the money to support serving military personnel and their families was available, why no support was given until Reform appeared to be winning elections?

 

John Healey: if the money to support serving military personnel and their families was available, why no support was given until Reform appeared to be winning elections?

It is significative important to remark that just a few weeks ago there was massive austerity to the point the winter allowances for pensioners and welfare benefits were being cut, Now, after Reform won against Conservative and againts Labour, suddenly, out of the blue, there is money for everything.

So Rachel Reeves is willing to throw everything out of the Treasury to prevent Reform for winning elections. Sixteen times the Prime Minister mentioned Nigel Farage in a recent political gathering. Nigel Farage stated that he was happy to be living in the Prime Minister´s mind for free without having to pay rent.

Trust? What Trust? We have got a government that is willing to ruin Britain to keep itself in power. So, apparently, there was a budget gap left by the Conservatives. Well, a lot more than that has been spent or promised. More than 10 billion Pound for Mauritius, a very similar amount for Ukraine, 22 billion Pound for Ed Milliband Eco Projects, and now the promiss made by the Secretary for Defense that Britisn expenditure will rise exponentially to pay for defense? Where is the money coming from? From the 22 billion budget gap that Labour said that the Conservatives left behind. Ah, lets not forget billions of Pound promised for transport projects. 

Are you buying British debt bonds? Are you lending money to the British government? Are you afraid? I reckon you should be extremely afraid. One thing is to have to rescue the financial system. Another thing is to have enough money to rescue Britain which, as we know, would be something impossible to do given the size of the British economy.

 

Friedrich Merz: One country´s actions can trigger a chain reaction

When Merz predecessor, Angela Merkel, decided to open Germany´s borders, she could not foresee the problems that her approach would create. Suddenly, there were conflicts all over the EU when countries like Poland and Hungary rejected her open borders policies. She lived to regret her decision when she publicly stated "Multikulti ist Tot" and mass migration became so intense that it threatens Schengen Treaty arrangements. In her case, her decision did not involve engaging Germany in an all out war.

Friedrich Merz decision to authorize the use of German long range weapons against the Russian Federation is a completely different cup of tea with catastrophic consequences. Berlin has been told, over and over again (by Berlin I mean the German authorities) that such measure will in effect mean a declaration of war against the Russian Federation and that, therefore, the Russian Federation will be entitled to attack Germany. What Friedrich Merz has done, unitelaterally, is to put every single NATO country on a direct collision course with the Russian Federation.  Now, how can the Russian Federation attack Germany? Nuclear War.

Herr Merz got elected with less than 24% of the vote, taking into account that CDU did not get 24% of the vote. CDU/CSU got about 24% of the vote. His coalition partner - SPD - got 16% of the vote. It remains to be known what the German public actually thinks about Friedrich Merz statement and about the consequences of such statement. 

Friedrich Merz took such decision not as a NATO member. This was not a NATO decision. It was Germany´s decision, but it is a far reaching decision that will undermine Europe. I would say that such decision is not supported by Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Article 5 refers to defense, not offense. 

Now, Chancellor Merz sent a Panzer group to Lithuania, a country that is pretty close to the Russian Federation. It is easy to see that if there is war between the Russian Federation and Germany then German forces in Lithuania will be targetted. 

We have not seen any reactions from other European countries. Do other countries want to be involved in an all out war? Like Angela Merkel, Friedrich Merz had no consultations with other European countries regarding the statement that he just made. Is this a German thing? i.e. making decisions that will affect everybody else, without even asking what other people in the European Union think about it?

This confirms my belief that Britain´s exit from the European Union was a very good thing. I also believe that dismantling NATO would be the next good thing. Why? Because one country can create a disaster for everybody else. So, if Germany wants war with the Russian Federation, Germany alone can pay the price of such a disastrous decision.

Kashmir: Should divided Kashmir become an independent country?

 

Kashmir exists as a divided territory - one chunk of Kashmir is under Pakistani administration and another chunk is under Indian administration.

Now, lets compare the geographic size of Kashmir to the geographic size of the United Kingdom.

243.620 km2 - United Kingdom 

222.236 km2 - Kashmir

Slightly smaller than the United Kingdom, Kashmir could become one country and Pakistan and India could reach an agreement to ensure stability. 

From a demographic point of view, about 12.5 million people live in the area controlled by India, while about 2.5 million people live in the area controlled by Pakistan. With about 15 million people would be more populous than many a country in the rest of the world and the inhabitats have a common language - Urdu.

Economically, Kashmir is about services and fundamentally about agriculture. So the main areas of activity are agriculture, tourism and little industrial development. If we look at other economies across the world, comparisons can be made that put Kashmir on a equal footing with many countries. So, as a country, it would be viable. A united and stable Kashmir would mean more stability for the entire Subcontinent.

BBC should be told that May 9th is one of the most important dates on the calendar of the Russian Federation

Dmitri Medvedev has stated that should anything unbecoming happen during the May 9th Celebrations in Moscow and should Ukraine be responsible for any attacks in Moscow on that day, the consequences for Ukraine will be catastrophic.

The former President of the Russian Federation has been very outpoken and very direct and has been asking for a stronger military response in the conflict in Ukraine.

No one should be in any doubt in terms of what such military response would be. While President Vladimir Putin has been very measured in terms of decisions made, Dmitri Medvedev wants to put an end to the conflict with a massive military response of the Russian Federation to wipe out any resistance in Ukraine.

While Western Politicians and Western Media, with their profound ignorance and lack of understanding of Russian Affairs have been constantly targetting President Putin, they are pretty oblivious of the fact that authorities in Kiev are still alive because the Russian Federation allows them to stay alive.

The War of Words is what comes before the Physical War

People must understand that the War of Words is what comes before the Physical War, when bombs fly and people die. Any war is a financial affair. In fact, there is always a financial reason for wars to happen. 

At this point in time there are economic rivals fighting to prevail and this is accelerating to the point when there will be a point of no return. We know how wars begin, but we cannot foresee how wars will end. This sort of wars have happened in the past. The Mighty Roman Empire saw the sacking of Rome by invaders. So the success of the so called West is by no means guaranteed.

Going into the not so remote past, we must remember the history of Europe. There was a time when the Moors (Arabic Invaders) and the Turks took over entire regions of Europe by force and kept them under their rule for hundreds of years. The naive belief that demographic changes will occur without consequences is dangerous. Peaceful colonisation will suddenly turn into a more violent expression of colonisation as foreign populations grow in numbers inside the so called West.

Macron seizes opportunity to divert attention from France´s serious internal issues

 

It does not go amiss that having made several decisions that led to absolute political chaos in France and to the inability of passing a budget without the threat of having Prime Ministers forced to resign, President Macron is now using the present issues about Ukraine as an opportunity to unite France behind him. For this General Leopoldo Fortunato Galtieri, Ukraine is his Islas Malvinas Moment. 

When things go bad at home, nothing better than making people look elsewhere and look for justifications to ask for monies when the European Union has been alerting France that France has surpassed the allowed National Deficit. So, we France have an independent Nuclear Deterrent and we want to use it to protect you. Very interesting since Britain´s nuclear deterrent is neither British nor Independent. France and Germany have decided to start rearming themselves at quick pace and so France is planning to do exactly the same.

The major problem is that that rules about the EURO will have to change and major deficits will have to be allowed at a time when economic uncertainties are undermining national economies. So as Paul Samuelson put it - Butter or Cannons - Macron has decided to go for Cannons. Elegant justification to forget about Health, Education and other major areas of public administration. France can still rely on Britain to unload tens of thousands of illegal migrants. But, for how long? Countries like Italy and France itself have decided to get rid of Ukrainian refugees. Hardlines on migration, across the Europen Continent, are rising and rearming Europe has other disadvantages. You can never trust that today´s allies will be real allies and flash political changes can certainly lead to confrontation within the EU itself.

This might have something to do with American reluctance to follow warmongering politicians

 

The Ursula von der Leyen, the David Lammys, or the Grüne Leader Annalena Baerbocks of the world, might want a Europe-wide war, once again, but understandably President Donald Trump and those who support him do not want yet another European War because they know what the USA lost in terms of human lives left on the battlefield.

So the US does not want the maniacs to run the asylum. The idiots do not understand either that in order to put an end to a conflict you need to talk to those seen as your adversaries, the parties in the conflict. All the warmongering European politicians have done is to make matters a lot worse. After hundreds of thousands went to the slaughter, they want that more people go the slaughter. Do not talk, they say. Keep the war going, they say. 

I have no way of knowing how the German electorate will vote on Sunday. I do hope that they vote for those who want to maintain rationality, for those who are against keeping to war going for, if the war keeps going, sooner than later we will have a European-wide War in Europe.

The Real War is ongoing: it is happening as right now.

There were many wars before and we were led to believe that wars were about guns, bombs and cannons. But there are other wars taking place. These are wars fought with legislation and censorship. The American legal system has been weaponised and used for illegal purposes. In Britain, the Labour Party is waging war by preventing people from knowing what is really happening in Britain. The EU mandarins have a similar strategy. They want to protect you from the truth. They have to hide their mistakes and the consequences of their mistakes.

The facts are plainly visible. If there are lower temperatures, renewable energy is not nearly enough to meet the needs of the country. In Britain, without sunshine and without wind, barely 9 per cent of the energy needed was provided with renewables. So what about the 91 per cent? It was provided with fossil fuels. We must always have Plan B and even Plan C. Ideology is driving politics and this is a recipe for disaster.

So now Rachel Reeves put herself against the wall and put the country against the wall and is doing so with the help of Ed Milliband and other ideologists who ignore realities for the sake of ideological stances. And when reality knocks, what is the alternative proposed? To prevent people from knowing what is going on. But reality is too big and there is no carpet big enough to cover up what is happening. They inflated a gigantic ballon made of lies and deceit and there are needles everywhere. The idiots still believe that taxing the wealthy is the magic solution. What they do not understand is that given the size of the British economy there is not enough money in rich peoples pockets in Britain to prevent Britain from falling apart. We are talking about trillions of Pounds and the debt clock is ticking ever faster. 

At this point in time, British politicians keep posturing and talking about saving the rest of the world when in fact they are involved in a huge money laundering exercise while the walls of the British economy are getting plenty of cracks. Let us remember that those sending British money away will not last long. What needs to be remberered is that they are very much the problem.  

EU mandarins are telling us that they will cancel elections or annul elections if elections do not go their way and they are doing so very publicly and openly. This tells you very clearly that EU mandarins are the enemy.

 

Danemark: in the big scheme of things, Danemark does not even exist

The image of a Danish representative signing a sort of mutual defense agreement between Danemark and Ukraine by shaking hands with Zelensky the Ukrainian dictator (Zelensky was elected President but his mandate expired months ago and there have been no elections in Ukraine) shows how ridiculous political leaders can be.

The issue brought to the fore was the status of Greenland, a Danish territory with 57,000 inhabitants, that will have an independence referendum in April 2025. 

Danemark itself is affected by what has become a common issue across many so called Developed Countries: a negative birthrate. Because the country is desperate to maintain a status quo come what may, attitudes towards migrants have changed and so have the stances of Danish political parties.

The public announcement about the USA buying or taking over Greenland for strategic purposes is no mean fit. Historically, Danemark lost territories to Germany and when it was supposed to cede Norway to Sweeden, Norway became independent. Bit by bit, Danemark keeps losing and losing. Greenland is not demographically relevant but it has significative natural resources that could not go amiss for countries like the USA that happens to be the head of the North Atlantic Alliance to which Danemark still belongs to.

American military presence in Germany, the powerful neighbour, should be noted, being Germany covered by American military bases. You can never be too far from an American military installation. Calls by Olaf Scholz and Emmanuel Macron to respect territorial integrity, should the USA decide to use any of the two proposed alternatives, cannot be more than posturing. The EU is not ready to finance its own NATO nor has the capabilities to do so. 

Keir Starmer planning to cut down British Armed Forces by 20,000

 

Plans announced as part of a Defence Review indicate that the British government led by Keir Starmer is planning to cut down the size of the British Armed Forces by 20,000 (down from present level of 73,000 including all branches). 

It must be said that barely 40,000 are actual trained combattant personnel. Such is the state of the British Armed Forces.

Manpower or lack of it is a very serious issue, but also material resources are critically absent. All of which renders Britain totally incapable in case of a real conflict involving Air Force, Navy and Army and other branches of the services.

Statements made by David Lammy beggar belief. The Foreign Secretary does not have a clue about what is he is actually saying and has no knowledge whatsoever when it comes to military matters. President Trump, during his first mandate as American President, made abondantly clear that each NATO member country should do its part. This is not just about Article 5. It is about Article 3 that commits every NATO member country to be self-reliant when it comes to self-preservation. Changes proposed by the Labour government goes in exactly the opposite direction, weakening Britain even more.

We must look beyond statements made by politicians regarding state of readiness. Britain is only ready to lose and budget constraints are not reassuring. It takes years to recruit and train military personnel. No matter how much money you have got, time is of the essence and time for Britain is running out.

January 20th 2025: Let's Hope that Joe Biden does not start World War Three

Let's Hope that Joe Biden does not start World War Three

We are almost two months away from the inauguration of a new USA President and there are reasons to be concerned when Joe Biden authorised the use of long range weapons against the Russian Federation. 

The Russian Federation acted with extreme caution knowing that in two months time, Joe Biden will no longer be around. The use of intercontinental ballistic missiles against Kiev show that the capability exists to wipe out Kiev in a single move. The payload might be conventional but this is something that not even the USA and others with all their technology can prevent. The technology to prevent an attack with such missiles does not exist.

London is merely 15 minutes away from a nuclear catastrophe. The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer knows that. Paris and Berlin are even closer to a Nuclear Holocaust. Only the Russian Federation's rational and measured approach has prevented World War Three, but I reckon this is the last call. 

Whoever cut submarine communication cables is preparing for war. China has not been practising about how to destroy satellites without a plan and is preparing for the worst case scenario. A world without communication satellites is a world that will go back decades. Nowadays, everything depends on either communication satellites or submarine cables. Without advanced communication systems, the economy will be the first critical casualty and with it will go any sense of political stability. This goes beyond hacking, when there will be nothing left to hack.

The financial losses without advanced communication systems will be catastrophic in every possible sense. Somebody said that should the Gulf Stream cease to exist this would trigger a new Ice Age. The losses will be not less dramatic.  An entire way of life will be wiped out.

Nuclear sites will be immediately targeted and no one knows for certain what would happen when silos containing vast amounts of nuclear weapons are hit. One can only imagine the dimension, what happens when ammunition depots are hit. Although in this the case, the ammunition will not be conventional ammunition, but hydrogen bombs.

Britain is building depots for nuclear weapons in at least three locations in the United Kingdom. Should any of those depots be hit, Britain as we know it will no longer exist.
