Trump is right on Zelensky, right on Russia and it’s the British establishment that is wrong and was wrong from the start.
Ukraine should deal with its own problems. I don’t want to hear how we need to defend Ukraine because if we don’t Russia will end up invading other parts of Europe. It’s a load of rubbish.
Russia will never attack a NATO country. And to anyone who says it will, I ask: what’s the point of Ikraine wanting to join NATif then if it doesn’t provide any deterrence or security guarantee?
Ukraine already had nuclear warheads before 1994 and no-one invaded.
Then Ukraine gave up its nuclear warheads in exchange for security assurances in 1994 and was invaded in 2014.
Ukraine had U.S. Companies investing approximately 532 million U.S. dollars in that country in 2021, and was invaded again in 2022.
Britain has given security assurances to Ukraine.
Russia may not have invaded a NATO country yet, but it has already killed a British citizen on British soil. Does that mean nothing to you?
According to Russia, it did not invade Ukraine in 2014, until Putin admitted it a year later. They will not admit to invading a NATO country, but the ‘little green men’ will invade nonetheless.
Ask yourself why Britain gave those security assurances in 1994?
Then read the documentary evidence as to Russia’s intentions that are in the public domain like the 2021 FSB strategy document, the strategy document of the Presidential Directorate for Cross-Border Cooperation, a subdivision of Putin’s Presidential Administration, which was established five years ago. That directorate’s task is to exert control over neighbouring countries that Russia sees as in its sphere of influence: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova.
The Kremlin leaks like a sieve. We know exactly what Putin’s intentions are.
And we know why, because he has told us: demographic imperialism. He has already been indicted for the abduction of Ukrainian children.
A European nuclear superstate of 250 million, armed to the teeth, encamped on the EU’s eastern border will dictate the domestic and foreign policy of all Europe, just as the U.S. has been directing the domestic and foreign policy of this country since 1991.
You may be happy to have a totalitarian dictator running Britain’s domestic and foreign policy.
But you are in a tiny minority.
‘In December 2020, on the day that investigative group Bellingcat published its exposé on the Navalny poisoning, the man who directed the Russian spy cell sent a message saying: “We’d be interested in a Bulgarian guy working for Bellingcat Christo Grozev.”
Jan Marsalek, who instructed the spy ring on behalf of the Russian intelligence services, wrote that Grozev was the “lead investigator in the Navalny case”.
His friend and fellow target Dobrokhotov said this was the moment when they became a major focus, as Putin was so disturbed by what had been revealed.
“I think that it was Putin directly…In this dictatorship, you would never take responsibility on your own to do such a political stuff. You will always have a direct order from the president.’
A message sent by Marsalek to fellow spy Orlin Roussev – who ran the UK-based group from a former guest house in Norfolk – demonstrated inside knowledge of Putin’s thinking.
He wrote: ‘Personally I find Grozev not to be a very valuable target but apparently Putin seriously hates him.’
It may have had warheads on its territory that were a legacy of the Soviet Union; what it didn’t have was the ability to launch them
Thank goodness!
‘At the time of Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine held the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world, including an estimated 1,900 strategic warheads, 176 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and 44 strategic bombers.
By 1996, Ukraine had returned all of its nuclear warheads to Russia in exchange for economic aid and security assurances, and in December 1994, Ukraine became a non-nuclear weapon state-party to the 1968 nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT).
The last strategic nuclear delivery vehicle in Ukraine was eliminated in 2001 under the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). It took years of political maneuvering and diplomatic work, starting with the Lisbon Protocol in 1992, to remove the weapons and nuclear infrastructure from Ukraine.
1990 Declaration of Sovereignty
Partly in an effort to gain international recognition, Ukraine’s pre-independence movement supported efforts to join the NPT as a non-nuclear weapon state. With its Declaration of Sovereignty on July 16, 1990, Ukraine pledged “not to accept, produce, or acquire nuclear weapons.”
However, despite this public commitment, Ukrainian politicians were not entirely united by the idea. Some felt that Russia was a still a threat and that they should keep the weapons as a deterrent.’

What intentions will Ukraine’s politicians have now, I wonder?
And 96% of Crimeans were happy that Russia took over leadership (sadly with one death) of the area. Now why was that? For some truth in the matter, I recommend reading Eva Bartlett’s interviews with Russian and Ukrainian citizens in Crimea: https://www.mintpressnews.com/return-russia-crimea-story-referendum-lives-since/262247/.
If US companies invested $532 million in Ukraine, how much of that was weaponry and military training? Do you really believe USA is interested in Ukraine or its people, or is it more likely interested in provoking Russia?
On 16th January, Britain signed an agreement for Ukraine’s minerals shortly before USA wanted to sign a similar deal (which sounds rather like sales tactics at a bazaar). A day later, a policy paper was published stating that UK will provide Ukraine with annual military assistance of no less than £3 billion a year until 2030/31 and for as long as needed (https://expose-news.com/2025/03/04/starmer-and-zelensky-signed-a-deal/). And all these huge sums of money flow so freely out of UK, leaving precious little inside – to precisely what purpose?
You refer to Russia killing “a British citizen on British soil” (presumably unproven) but how many Russian citizens have been killed on Russian soil by Storm Shadow missiles, targeted with support from UK citizens? I could also ask how many Iraqis on Iraqi soil by the British but better not go there.
And so on and so forth. Your daily repeated incitements to war are very tiring.
We have got a Totalitarian Dictator !!!!
‘Crimea was governed as an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic from the end of the Russian Civil War until 1945, when it lost its autonomous status, and was made an Oblast, essentially a region of Soviet Russia. In 1954, the Crimean Oblast was transferred to the authority of Soviet Ukraine. Whether this was simply a gift, or whether it served a richer political purpose is debatable; but it wasn’t of profound significance at the time, because power in the Soviet Union was so centralised in Moscow.
The referendum of January 1991 asked Crimeans whether they wanted Crimea to regain autonomy. The vote has to be viewed in its immediate context. The Soviet Union was breaking down owing to separatist movements in numerous Soviet Republics. Through 1990, Gorbachev proposed to reform the Soviet Union, hoping that he could keep the political structure together by significantly decentralising power. Meanwhile Soviet Ukraine held parliamentary elections, and its parliament declared in July 1990 the sovereignty of the state. This was an assertion of Ukraine’s right to govern itself; but Ukraine still remained a Soviet Republic, and it was one of the Republics which began negotiating towards the end of the year Gorbachev’s new Union Treaty.
Crimea asking for a referendum on autonomy, and voting decisively in January 1991 for the ‘restoration of the Crimean ASSR as a subject of the USSR and as a party to the Union Treaty’, can be read as a response to the Ukrainian parliament’s declaration of state sovereignty. On the other hand, as an Autonomous Republic after January it was still part of Soviet Ukraine. Autonomous Republics in the Soviet Union were parts of Soviet Republics, granted much more autonomy than that possessed by mere regions. So the referendum didn’t mark Crimea severing ties with Ukraine and rejoining Russia; but it did imply a willingness to remain part of the Soviet Union.
On 1 December, Ukraine held a referendum and Ukrainians voted for independence. This essentially marked the end of the Soviet Union. 54% of Crimean voters opted for Ukrainian independence, with the turnout in Crimea placed at 60%.’
On 26 February 2014, the Russian Federation deployed members of its armed forces to gain control over parts of the Ukrainian territory without the consent of the Ukrainian Government. The next day a referendum was announced and a vote was held on March 16, 2014, in the Peninsula of Crimea. The territory was then controlled by Russian forces, and neither Ukrainian nor Russian election code was observed.
According to international law, Crimea is a part of Ukraine. On 27 March 2014, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution condemning Russia’s occupation of Crimea and stating that the referendum in Crimea was not valid and could not serve as a basis for any change in the status of the peninsula.
Following the covert invasion of “little green men,” power in Crimea was vested in a makeshift executive headed by Sergey Aksenov. The new Crimean regime conducted the referendum hastily and at gunpoint (evidenced by video), barred impartial observers from entering the peninsula, and instead invited dozens of fringe politicians and activists to “monitor” the procedure, most of them far-right Kremlin loyalists.
Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, recognised on 17 April 2015 that “our soldiers were deployed in Crimea to help the inhabitants express their opinion.” Putin admitted that the plan to annex Crimea was ordered weeks before the so-called referendum.
No international body has recognised the so-called referendum, which was organised by a self-proclaimed Crimean leadership lacking democratic legitimacy and installed by armed Russian military personnel following the seizure of public buildings. The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has stated that “the situation within the territory of Crimea and Sevastopol amounts to an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. This international armed conflict began at the latest on 26 February 2014 when the Russian Federation deployed members of its armed forces to gain control over parts of the Ukrainian territory without the consent of the Ukrainian Government.”
On 17 December 2018, the UN General Assembly confirmed its non-recognition of the illegal annexation of Crimea. The EU’s policy of non-recognition of the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol includes a set of restrictive measures against entities and individuals responsible for actions against Ukraine’s territorial integrity.’
Well said, Russia is nuclear but that’s all, its proving how weak it is militarily every day
Russian strategy documents clearly indicate an intent to restore to Russian control, in the form of a ‘Union State’, the territories of the former USSR. The EU, Britain, badly need to restore conventional deterrence.
‘recent studies also consider deterrence operating at a lower level which includes deterrence of ‘conflict short of war’.
To be effective overall, deterrence must be effective at all levels – a situation of ‘total deterrence’.
Total deterrence is defined as a situation between adversaries where absolute stability – i.e. the absence of conflict – exists at all levels and can be achieved through two modes of operation of deterrence:
• stable, independent deterrence at all levels (i.e. horizontal deterrence interaction – where the potential aggressor is met with credible deterrent threats at each level of conflict); or
• effective deterrence interaction between levels – (i.e. vertical deterrence interaction – where, for example, a deterrer’s nuclear capability deters the potential aggressor at all potential levels of conflict). Limited (or partial) deterrence is where stable deterrence does not exist at all levels and a challenge could therefore occur.
While deterrence success is only limited and may not prevent the outbreak of war, it may still ensure that escalation does not occur.
A highly motivated aggressor, faced with successful deterrence at one level, will look for other levels where a challenge may be successful. For example, adversaries of the US will try to ‘design around’ US dominance at the conventional level either by ‘going under’ it by adopting terrorist and guerrilla tactics (‘little green men’)
During the Cold War, strategists concentrated on nuclear deterrence and nuclear weapon capabilities – technological developments that led to significant advances in the capabilities of conventional weapons were largely ignored.
Major advances in conventional weapons, specifically in the area of stealth and precision guidance, however, were effectively displayed in the Gulf War and have led to what has been referred to as ‘US conventional dominance‘.
There are two major advantages of these precision conventional weapons.
Firstly, they limit collateral damage and the resultant moral and political dilemmas associated with loss of innocent life.
Secondly, for forces carrying out the attack, they reduce the likelihood of casualties which has become a major determinant of military involvement by developed nations in operations other than direct defence of the nation.
Because the use of such weapons will be more acceptable politically, they represent a credible deterrent threat. While the Gulf War showed the capability of high technology conventional weapons – and many argue that it was a turning point in the nature of warfare – care must be taken in generalising too far from the results.
An understanding of both the effectiveness and limitations of advanced conventional weapons is essential before strategic implications are drawn.
Smart weapons can do much to limit loss of life but they cannot take on all missions.
As the conflict…….has shown, future crises will have their own context and present their own challenges – smart weapons do not represent a panacea.
This limitation is well summarised by a purported comment by a United States general, who, when asked to explain the limited effectiveness of air power in Bosnia, replied: ‘We do deserts, we don’t do mountains!’
There is no doubt that Russia will infiltrate Moldova, the Baltic States and elsewhere when it believes the timing to be propitious.
Why?
Demographic colonial imperialism:
‘….the Russian authorities proudly announced numbers almost twice as high at 5.3 million, among them 738,000 children, thus showing their pride in the forced displacement of millions of Ukrainians and simultaneously articulating their hidden desire: millions of new potential citizens.’ March 2023

“Reform civil war breaks out as chairman reports MP to police over ‘threats’”
Straight from the Marxist playbook. The accusation is enough. Ask Priti Patel and Dom Raab. Is the enemy within the gates.?
Not for nothing did Trotsky flee to Mexico.
Farage is going to do as much damage to this country as the uniparty has done over the last thirty odd years.
Reading loads of similar comments to this now this news has gone viral. Not one person believes this defamatory bullshit about Rupert Lowe. People will vote with their feet;
”Rupert Lowe has had the whip removed by Reform UK.
I will be terminating my membership as soon as possible and withdrawing all support for Reform UK effective immediately.
It’s evident that it’s just another establishment party another uni-party.
Wherever you go, Rupert, I will stand by you.”
”If they get rid of Rupert I might follow suit.
Hundreds of hours volunteered for them, all down the drain because of their egos or letting the globalists pull the strings backstage.
They have no idea that thousands of people like me made their party into the powerhouse it is. All of us doing our tiny tiny bit in the belief it will all add up and seeing the results in the polls.”
”Reform seems hell-bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
The future of the country is vanishing before our very eyes. I can’t remember feeling so depressed.”
”Remember Zia Yusuf, the chairman of Reform UK, is a Muslim. He has described himself as a “British Muslim patriot” in various interviews.
It all makes sense now.”

I can remember reading 25 years ago that Mr. Farage was ruthless against any rising stars around him. Richard A.E North worked closely with him when he was the research director in the European Parliament for a poltical grouping iwhich included Farage’s UKIP party.
IIRC, North stopped working with him due to all the shenanigans and his lack of grip on policies and detail. I enjoy listening to Mr Farage speaking – and he’s definitely in a tiny group of politicians with whom I’d enjoy having several pints; however, I fear that Reform will not enjoy much electoral success with him at the helm.
Nigel sold the Reform party to the highest bidder, who also guaranteed to make Nigel Prime Minister next time by guaranteeing “The Muslim Vote” of masses of new Muslim members signing up.
Pakistani Jewish Millionaire Ben Habib tried to use the Reform party to make himself Prime Minister, and is now complaining because Pakistani Muslim Millionaire Yusuf donated much more, and now is effective co-owner of Reform with Nigel, so that his new members can get rid of Nigel after “allowing” Nigel to serve a term as PM, before installing Yusuf and raising the Black Flag of Islam over the UK Parliament.
That also explains Nigel’s intransigence over Tommy Robinson, and Reform’s strict “vetting” of Reform members and candidates, so as not to upset the Pakistani Muslim Millionaire who has effectively bought the Reform party.
The MAGA movement is wrong on Ukraine
Well said,Mr Murray
‘Wittingly or otherwise, the MAGA online right started to absorb Russia’s narrative on Ukraine: that it isn’t a real country, that the Ukrainians aren’t a real people, that if they are a real people then they are uniquely corrupt.
On and on it went: that Ukrainian soldiers are ‘literal’ Nazis, that Zelensky is constantly buying villas and yachts in the south of France, that the whole war is one big money-laundering operation, that Ukraine’s war to push the Russians back is unwinnable because of the great might of the Russian army – and that the whole thing is a giant waste of US taxpayers’ money.
Of course, almost all the allegations the MAGA right make against Ukraine are infinitely truer of Putin’s Russia.
Interested in international corruption? Try looking at Putin and his friends. Interested in an anti-Christian government? How about looking to the cynical faith of Putin, who trumpets Christian values while firing rockets at great cathedrals like that in Odessa and recruiting jihadists to fight for him. Think Ukraine is cruel in forcing draft-dodgers into the army? Consider Putin’s army recruitment processes. Dislike Zelensky for not holding an election during a total war? Have you noticed Putin’s electoral habits?
By this stage Ukraine is not just a country that the MAGA right has never visited. It is a fantasy country that they imagine they know everything about – and all of it is bad.
Perhaps they will manage to wade their way out of the memes. Or perhaps they will find out the hard way that most of the American public may dislike woke, but they dislike dictators too – and that it is possible to keep both these dislikes inside one head, and movement, at the same time.’
It is possible for most to have two thoughts in their head at the same time.
Have you ever been to Russia? Have you ever been to Ukraine? Those Ukrainian soldiers that volunteered to fight are indeed fighting alongside Nazis: those who deify Stepan Bandera, e.g. in the Azov Brigade, famous for being guests of Boris Johnson.
Corruption? Sure, billions of cash and weapons have disappeared in Ukraine, the latter turning up on the world’s black markets. There was a recent report that 60% of sent weapons never made it to the front.
And if you think that Putin’s religious beliefs are cynical, publicly they are not and he has never closed down series of churches and arrested their priests, as Zelensky did last year.
When you refer to ‘Jihadists’, you presumably mean Muslims fighting for their country, Russia, which does not differentiate between the various races and beliefs of its people.
And you accuse the large proportion of US citizens that voted for Donald Trump of being stupid – unable to have “two thoughts in their head at the same time”. You were presumably happy to have a President the last 4 years who was mentally completely unfit for office but happily signed (in whose name?) weapon delivery after weapon delivery for Ukraine.
Once again, Ukraine could have remained neutral, which had been the peaceful case for decades, while also receiving generous financial support from Russia. Ukraine could have rejected the Nazis in public office and in the military: unfortunately this was not the case.
So, Ukraine remaining neutral and rejecting Nazism would have saved over a million young lives, but you and Western leadership prefer war. It is indeed a sad world.
‘It was not the West’s aggressive pursuit of an anti-Russian agenda, but rather the weakness and lack of strategic clarity it communicated at every turn post-Cold War that encouraged Moscow’s revisionism.
It was not the West’s alleged geostrategic assertiveness, but its timidity each time Putin used military power to occupy territory—first in Georgia in 2008, then in Ukraine in 2014, in Syria in 2015, and finally in Ukraine for the second time in 2022—that set the stage for the unfolding tragedy in Eastern Europe.
If the West is responsible for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it’s not for the reasons its critics now propound, i.e., because of its allegedly aggressive behavior, but because of its inability to grasp the basics of power politics as it swam into an ideological soup of its own making that bore no resemblance to how the world really works.’
“When people talk about diversity, they don’t think about the great things we don’t have in common”

Perhaps we should all give up tolerance for Lent, because it appears to be only one side that’s capable of doing the tolerating;
”My son goes to a Church of England primary school, there are a handful of Muslims go there but it’s majority white Christians. My son says in RE they’ve been learning more about Ramadan, but he says the Muslim kids don’t do RE they’re allowed to leave the class and play on iPads because their parents won’t allow them to learn about other religions. he’s also been doing PSHE (personal social health and economic) classes where apparently they’ve been learning about how they should respect Muslims and other peoples faiths. I said that’s all ok but what did they teach you about lent, his reply ‘What’s lent?’!”

The Windsors are a very expensive and increasingly disruptive rogue outfit that should be removed from this country. Chuckles is committing treason and has to be stopped. The damage his mob is causing is sickening to watch.

Absolutely. Clown World ‘logic’. When women can have penises and men can have babies, all is possible.
”The simple step of a courageous individual is to not take part in the lie.”
Even if he’s not a secret Muslim he sure seems very committed to their faith and is evidently big on the promotion of Islam. Seriously not good news. Could he not have chosen Buddhism, at least? Also, who learns Arabic to ”understand the Quran” when it’s available in English??
“From what I know of [Islam’s] core teachings and commentaries, the important principle we must keep in mind is that there are limits to the abundance of nature,” he said.
“These are not arbitrary limits, they are the limits imposed by God and, as such, if my understanding of the Quran is correct, Muslims are commanded not to transgress them.”
He later describes Islam as possessing “one of the greatest treasuries of accumulated wisdom and spiritual knowledge available to humanity” – a tradition he said was obscured by a drive towards “western materialism”.
“The inconvenient truth is that we share this planet with the rest of creation for a very good reason – and that is, we cannot exist on our own without the intricately balanced web of life around us.
“Islam has always taught this and to ignore that lesson is to default on our contract with Creation.”
He went on to mention examples of Islamic urban planning through the centuries, including irrigation systems in Spain 1,200 years ago, as examples of how “prophetic teachings” maintained long-term resource planning in favour of “short-term economics”.
Indeed, Charles III’s garden in his Gloucestershire home is inspired by Islamic traditions and plants mentioned in the Quran.”

Where Bolsheviks dealt with Tsars once and for all.
Ah, OK. I’d have to read up on that.
Are you advocating the gruesome, horrific COMMUNIST MURDER of the entire British Royal Family???
Siding with the Jewish Bolsheviks who murdered the Christian Russian Royal Family, because they hated the Christian Tsars?
And why did they hate the Christian Tsars? Look up “The Pale of Russia”.
Because even after the Tsars GAVE the Russian Jews “The Pale”, a vast area of the most agriculturally productive lands in Russia, and allowed them to “manage” the Christian peasants and profit from their labour, the Russian Jews were NOT SATISFIED, because their activities were strictly limited to that vast area, and they wanted The Whole of Russia.
So they got financial backing from Jacob Schiff in America to launch the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, and the rest is history, as you know.
Your approval of such actions is appalling.
Steady on, no umbrage please. Not advocacy, merely a blunt statement of fact.

Yes.
And some bullets?
Bullets, bayonets, sulfuric acid, and throwing the bodies of a Christian father, his wife and five children, and as many other Christian members of the Russian Royal Family as could be rounded up, down empty mine shafts.
Some family members were thrown down alive, to die in agony from broken bones, thirst and starvation in the total blackness.
No, that’s the one that involves shooting a father, his wife and his five children, bayonetting the ones who didn’t die immediately, throwing their bodies down mine shafts and later using sulfuric acid poured on their faces so they could not be identified.
It also involves hunting down other members of the Russian Royal Family and throwing them ALIVE down mine shafts.
WHAT???!!!
What on earth are you saying???!!!
Advocating the gruesome, horrific COMMUNIST MURDER of the entire British Royal Family???
Siding with the Jewish Bolsheviks who murdered the Christian Russian Royal Family, because they hated the Christian Tsars?
And why did they hate the Christian Tsars? Look up “The Pale of Russia”.
Because even after the Tsars GAVE the Russian Jews “The Pale”, a vast area of the most agriculturally productive lands in Russia, and allowed them to “manage” the Christian peasants and profit from their labour, the Russian Jews were NOT SATISFIED, because their activities were strictly limited to that vast area, and they wanted The Whole of Russia.
So they got financial backing from Jacob Schiff in America to launch the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, and the rest is history, as you know.
Your suggestion is horrific.
Horrific, and shameful— especially coming from a Catholic like yourself.
This is absolutely horrendous but it’s the reality. Halal slaughter. All non-stun slaughter should be banned, irrespective of religion, but it seems the Muslims enjoy tormenting the poor animals to increase stress and suffering even before they slit their throats. But as long as there’s Muslims there’ll be this, and I can’t see it ever going away. Also, do vegetarian Muslims even exist? Serious question. Surely they must…Wonder if King Charles is supportive;
”An HGV driver who delivers live animals to abattoirs describes a sadistic, vile & depraved cruelty. Halal slaughter should be banned immediately.
“David I need to remain anonymous to keep my job as I work for a large multinational that are very PC/woke and me getting involved in any sort of discussion like this would cost me my job.
“I’ve worked previously as a HGV driver delivering livestock to slaughterhouses. In the build up to Ramadan the company I worked for made sheep deliveries to halal slaughterhouses up and down the country.
“We’d always deliver after dark and the loading bays would be full of Muslim men and boys who’d come to choose their sheep. They’d be climbing up the outside of the trailer to get a look in and try pick which one they wanted. They’d be shouting and screaming whilst banging on the trailer to try get the sheep to move around.
“Drivers would always do their best to try stop them as the animals are still in their care whilst on the vehicle. Once the trailer door was open the men would be jumping in the trailers trying to grab their sheep and mark it. We’d often end up physically removing the men and a few times it ended up in fists flying.
“Once the sheep had been herded into the slaughterhouse pens the real barbarism would begin. After waiting hours and hours with no access to water the Sheep were punched and kicked by the men and boys and forced onto the waiting line to be slaughtered. The whole place is absolute chaos with people screaming and shouting and the sound of dying animals.
Once they reached the front of the queue there’d be an imam sat there reciting prayers as the slaughter man grabbed the animal by the head, spun it round and slit its throat. It would then be hung upside down on an overhead hook conveyor and transported for butchering as it was still bleeding and writhing around in agony.
“It’s not an instant death by any means. The supposed “vet” whose job is to maintain welfare standards is nearly always a friend of the owners and is also Muslim who’s paid and simply turns a blind eye. The whole place is a complete blood bath. Zero welfare standards, zero compassion.
“In comparison we used to deliver pigs to slaughterhouses and the welfare levels are immense. Animals were herded without any physical contact at all, if you so much as touched an animal the vet would have you and your company banned from the site immediately and reported to the relevant authorities too.
“The animals are slaughtered with a single bolt to the back of the head. It’s instant and pain free.
“I just thought I’d give some inside information as to what goes on.
“Halal meat is vile and it needs to be banned.”

Sick, sick and thrice sick. But look at the ‘value’ they place on human life ( see Syria just now, all minorities getting slaughtered, as just one of countless examples ) so it should come as no surprise that animal cruelty is par for the course for this culture and its barbaric teachings;
”My sister was a teacher at a Church of England school in the north which 20 years ago had only two non Muslim children.
“Their children used to get really excited about chasing the sheep their family had bought for Eid, & would in graphic detail outline how they were allowed to play with kitchen knives to see if they could catch & stab the sheep as it ran around their garden.
“One of her Muslim TAs lived up north & said it was easier for her friends because they lived in a cul-de-sac so it was a game to enjoy as the animals couldn’t escape, but that clearing up the blood afterwards was a bit irritating.
“My sister reported this to local council who did nothing as it was deemed too culturally sensitive.”
Yes, just like “atonement for your sins” by telling God to transfer all your sins onto a helpless “Kapparot” chicken, swinging it over your head a few times, slitting its throat while watching it slowly choke to death on its own blood, then giving it to “The Poor” to eat, as an “act of charity”, making them “eat your sins”.
That done, you take your Kol Nidre Vow and you’re all sorted for the entire coming year.
HYPOCRITE!
HALAL BUTCHERY METHODS are copied from KOSHER BUTCHERY METHODS.
Both barbaric ritual methods violate British Laws against animal cruelty.
Both religious groups, including your own, are allowed “exemptions” to violate British Laws.
I was a school governor in inner London for 8 years. I discovered somehow that all the food served in borough schools was halal. I mentioned this to the governors. None of them were aware apart from I think the Head, who was super busy and an amazing head and probably too hard pressed to give it much thought (don’t think he had much choice). This wasn’t even a heavily Muslim area but I guess they just found it easier than catering for them separately. The neighbouring borough had a very large Hasidic population but I doubt the food served in state schools was all kosher – I think almost all the Hasidim sent their kids to their own schools, and I don’t imagine they expected the state to provide for them.
I mentioned this in a governor’s meeting and I don’t think they really knew much about Halal methods, so I explained as best I could. This was 10+ years ago, probably now people are more aware.
It does make you wonder where else it’s being served but companies/authorities aren’t being transparent and declaring it. For instance, men’s prisons. I can’t really imagine them having two separate suppliers and also keeping the food separate in the kitchen. Just not practical. So how much you betting it’s all Halal? I’m going to have to pay more attention to restaurants, I think. It’s no good having it in small print on the menu once you’ve sat down. I shall be more diligent in checking websites first, I think.
When I was doing my nurse training and living on campus I asked to borrow another student’s kitchen knife. She was Muslim and really apologetic explaining she’s not supposed to share any cutlery or kitchen equipment with non-Muslims, so she kept them all in her room. This was news to me. Not sure if they’re all that strict.
Good point about prisons and I suspect you are right.
There are a few Muslims at my work, can’t recall what they do about shared cutlery. I know the woman doesn’t shake hands. In general none of that has been a problem for us though now most of us are WFH. My apostate Muslim friend doesn’t eat pork (odd) but other than that doesn’t follow any of it – he says he’s a “cultural Muslim”, don’t think he has mentioned to any of his Muslim family that he thinks the Prophet was a paedophile. Difficult business to go against your family. He is married to a Catholic. It seems to work. Actually one of the other Muslim blokes in the office is married to a Christian woman too.
There are a couple of Jews in the office too. One of the founders is a Jew. I guess they don’t eat pork but don’t remember them being too worried to ask whether meat in restaurants when we were eating out was Kosher. Minorities learn to adapt – I think the trouble starts when they are in such numbers that they feel they can start imposing on the established culture.

Lots of comments today my LDS chums ! Question – is Douglas Murray on the right track criticising the Trump & JD Vance stance ( I’m a poet ) on Ukraine & its Game show host so called President ??
The Trump works in mysterious ways!
No, Douglas Murray is not on the right track there.
The Ukraine Meatgrinder War was started by the SECRET GLOBALIST COLLUSION between Putin & Zelensky to CULL THE SLAVS, and they’re desperate to drag in more White People from the rest of Europe and America to throw into The Meatgrinder.
It’s part of the Ethnocide of White People, who are the only Ethnic Group standing in the way of the Globalist Totalitarian New Feudal World Order. The EU leaders are fully complicit.
The foolish Third World Ethnics have been deceived into helping with this Ethnocide, not realising that once the White Man is extinct, they themselves will be more easily enslaved.
