Eric Margolis – The Unz Review July 5, 2024
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!
Let’s correct some of what is written above: “Rishi Sunak was a decent fellow”. Sunak was a former Rothschild banker and at least partly behind the UK banking collapse, this is were his personal fortune is said to have came from. He was parachuted into a safe tory seat and the beficiary of a bankers coup installed as prime minister. No one voted for him, even other torys.
Sir Kid Starver PM, aka Sir Kneeler is in power on 20% of the vote of the electorate, put it another way, 80% of us didn’t vote for him.
Starmer is generally loathed but clever slieght of hand, the torys intentionally holing their campagn under the water line ensured that the tradional tory vote was absorbed by the controlled opposition of Reform under Nigel Farrage, an expert at ‘doing the dirty’.
I do hope for this imbeciles sake and well being ..that he’s in no way related to flatulent, porcine and quite hideous lesbo yenta… Miriam Margolyes (gargoyle is)… a very unfunny comedienne that has haunted Pirate Rocks idiot box for far too long… and hauls itself about like the hunchback of Notre Dame..
However…despite the cunning swizzler style fudging with the old surname..for example..Cowan=Cohen and of course Vine=Levine=Levi etc etc…
I suspect he is… ‘family’ that is..
The writer of of this article epitomises the word wanker
Warwick.
Make Britain Great again?
this would be the frst step..
The Edict of Expulsion was a royal decree expelling all Jews from the Kingdom of England that was issued by Edward I 18 July 1290; it was the first time a European state is known to have permanently banned their presence.
The only reason I can think uber-wealthy Rishi Sunak would work in politics for what to him is pittance pay, is because the elitists must have people working on the coal face to ensure their demands are met; otherwise wealth like theirs can be stolen or lost to incompetence. Stock markets are unforgiving places where a fortune can soon be lost by a middle manager oik with some compassion for his struggling workers who actually do the work that generates the profits. Humanity–and safety etc–costs money.
I think this is the case with Hillary Clinton. Born into privilege but who might not have reached those heights without marrying the man she did. She has enough wealth and stature to sit back and travel the world in luxury but she doesn’t. She’s an elitist working the coal face and probably told she must work until she’s 80 or so, but that any crimes she has or will commit will never be prosecuted. Keir Starmer wasn’t born with position but rose to it through fealty, and like Tony Blair who was also lowly-born and rose to his position, their place on the Ark come nuclear war is not as guaranteed as either man thinks.
I think if Blair was told he and Cherie have a place on the Ark but not their kids, I think they would go. I don’t know enough about Starmer to guess his answer, but with two daughters who can find themselves in arranged marriages with who the elitists choose I think his whole family might be offered a place.
‘The Unz Review’. They ban Nico on Unz. Now you know whose message they really fear.
Not a lot to say about this except that last line almost made me vomit.
This article is meant as a satire, right?
@ Lana..
Aw didums!..has Nico been banned by little Ron’s IP funny farm and motley web-zine….
Hopefully he wears that as a badge of honour and probably next to the Iron Cross first class with oak leaves and diamonds..he bought on E bay…
Yes….you’d be ill advised to trust Nigel Farage……especially his perma-tan complexion.
“Nigel” is USUALLY a jewish name…..like Nigella “coke-fiend” Lawson….who was once assaulted by a jewish billionaire…who throat grabbed her at a Cafe….in public….
His smiley joke a minute persona is all cover for a devious crypto jew…..of course you would back the cnut until he starts stepping out of line…..which he will do sooner or later.

What brand of crack has author Eric Morgolem been smoking? What putrid snivelry….I really thought we were being taunted with ham-fisted satire for several paragraphs. This festering colostomy bag masquerading as journalism must be the result of some poor mentally retarded wretch getting force-fed cheap scotch and fist-fulls of anti-depressants mixed with pain-killers and flouride.
“Healthy democracies need to be purged and renovated.” … True enough, but this imbecile actually believes (s)elections actually make a difference and aren’t completely rigged. The only type of election that would actually lead to the cartel being “purged and renovated” at this point would be one featuring rivers of blood and lots of rope.
“Ousted prime minister Rishi Sunak was a decent fellow” … Wait, what?!? Fuuuuuuuuck YOOOOOUUUUUU, dipshit. Margolem went on to complain Rishi Street-shitter “turned his back on D-Day veterans.” That’s it? What the dangerously stupid D-Day veterans should have been told is that they fought for the wrong f*cking side and are partially responsible for the shit mess we’re in. Then they should have been pimp-slapped with a big rubber dong.
Margolem then went on with this bit about the Street-shitter, “Then there was the transcendentally stupid plan to ship third world migrants from Britain back to – of all places – Rwanda!” … Now hold on….that’s actually a damn good idea,,,Rishi may not have been all bad after all…
Margolem continued with a bad bout of explosive diarrhea, “I’m sure Starmer will do a better job than the bumbling Sunak.” A better job at what, exactly? Dancing like the organ grinder monkey he is, that they all are?
“Starmer will not have to fight with the mighty Rothschilds to see who will really run [the cuntry further into the sewer].” … Smarmer fight the Rothschilds? Hardy har har. As if Smarmer the puppet would do anything other than exactly what the f*ck the puppet master tells him to. If a Rothschild told Smarmer to strangle a puppy while ass-raping a kid and singing God Save the Queen at the top of his lungs with a trombone stuck up his ass live on a nationwide broadcast on the BBC, Smarmer would already have his pants around his ankles…while Margolem jacked off on the curtains by stage left.
I love to read the comments. Such venomous creative toxic writing. I have to laugh because they are so colorful.
