I have heard nothing as yet about what I apprehend will be Alison’s appeal to the Crown Court from the verdict and sentence handed down by a single magistrate —aka District Judge (Criminal)— on 31 March 2021. Her solicitors and trial Counsel will also, as I believe, be applying for bail pending hearing of such appeal.
In the meantime, Alison has now served over a week of what is effectively an 8-week sentence (18 weeks, of which 9 weeks would normally be spent incarcerated, but minus time spent in court at trial and in preliminary hearings, and also minus time spent in police custody, with part-days counted as full days).
Anyone wishing to send letters, cards, books etc to Alison Chabloz should write or send to:

I don't understand the function of these strips of grass. They are everywhere on our estate. They could be wildflowers, or scrub, or trees and bushes… f it's a playing field I understand it, and we need green spaces in urban areas, but why settle for this monoculture? pic.twitter.com/pBRE0OQb6K
Following on from the earlier #rewilding cities tweet – just look at this example. Amanda Sturgeon's architectural goal "to have buildings that are intimately connected to the living systems that have evolved with us"
Slightly underwhelming, but it is a start, anyway…when I was at school, and about 14 years old, I sketched out buildings and developments rather like that, in fact more radical and green than the one shown. That was around 1971. Still, Rome was not built in a day…

Does anyone fully understand new rules on 'Track and Trace' aka surveillance on pretext of health and safety? Appears to me that pubs, when they reopen, will be under *stricter* regulations than before, requring registration of every individual (not just one in each party).
This professional complainant has ensured that every MSM platform in UK knows her name, Chabloz could only dream of such publicity. Something tells me this isn’t about hurt feelings …otherwise why allow CAA’s ‘BedlamJones’ a free rein to stalk women online for so many years?
Well done, BBC— only a full week late! The sentence was pronounced on the second and last day of Alison’s trial, which was 31 March 2021. Last Wednesday…

Seems that, at least in Marin County (California…Marin County is the area the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco), “universal” means “universal…unless you are white (no matter how poor you may be)”…

Still more craziness from Blood Services (this time in Scotland) over masks. Donors must wear them but 'be aware that for monitoring purposes, they will need to be removed for health check and while donating'. https://t.co/Q25oq9m9N9 So why no exemptions?
Masks are of little use in preventing infection (and, no, the masks people are forced to wear now in shops are not the same as those used in operating theatres where, in any case, they are just a conventional habit from the past as much as anything).
Until halfway through last year, the UK government agreed with what I have just written, but then decided to force the cowed and compliant masses into wearing masks. There is, as with the whole “Coronavirus” thing, an agenda behind it all, and one that has nothing much to do with health.
Blood service is *unique* in the whole NHS in refusing to permit exemptions from mask wearing. Yet donors are by definition healthy, and are on NHS premises only to help the sick, not to be treated for illness. So why? https://t.co/7aFu4V6iQ9 via @theconwom
Interesting from the historical-cultural point of view. The red part of that map coincides roughly with the Roman Empire, though not exactly (North African provinces are in green, as is the Dalmatian side of the Adriatic, and other areas (notably Asia Minor).
Again, the green areas are those which experienced greater penetration of Islamic ideas and customs from the 8thC onward. Again, though, not exactly; only in very broad brush terms.

Blair was one of the most fervent members of Labour Friends of Israel when he was an MP. Corbyn, though weak, was relatively anti-Zionist. Starmer is another Labour “Friend of Israel”, and is married to a Jewish woman who is a lawyer; their children are being brought up as Jewish; Starmer and his wife celebrate Jewish tribal holidays.
The Jewish lobby wanted to regain control of the Labour Party. They have. Corbyn is now an “unperson”, but Starmer seems to be doing worse, as Labour leader, even than Corbyn (a result which I predicted in these blog pages).
Philip Proudfoot should report Lewis to the SRA for harassment and breaching their code of conduct. The threat of doing this to solicitors/barristers usually makes them stop because they don't want their professional career to be negatively affected. More people need to do this.

Polling seems to show that this is essentially a straight fight between Con and Lab:
There are likely to be at least 10 candidates in all, possibly 11 or 12.
Hartlepool has been held by the Labour Party since its creation in 1974. The Labour vote peaked, perhaps surprisingly, when Peter Mandelson was the candidate in 1997. Over 60%. The lowest trough was in 2015, when Labour scored 35.6% (UKIP second with 28%). Labour recovered to 52.5% in 2017, but crashed back to 37.7% in 2019.
The Conservative Party vote peaked early, in the first election of 1974 (45.7%). The Con trough was in 2001 (20.9%).
Brexit Party, represented by its deputy leader, Richard Tice, might have succeeded in 2019 had Nigel Farage not stabbed his own party in the back in order to help the Conservatives win the General Election. Even so, Tice managed a 25.8% third placing, not far behind the Conservative candidate. Reform Party is the forlorn reincarnation of Brexit Party, but already seems doomed. Even Farage, its “leader” until recently, has jumped ship.
Labour’s national problems have been intensified in Hartlepool by its candidates of recent years. Mike Hill, the MP since 2017, stepped down because he was facing sex pest allegations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Hill_(British_politician). A pretty dull Labour Party drone, who worked in trade unions and public libraries before becoming an MP.
[Paul Williams, Labour Party candidate at the 2021 Hartlepool by-election]
Williams is obviously a careerist, and was the MP for Stockton South 2015-2017, when he lost to the Conservative candidate. He has also tried to become a Police and Crime Commissioner.
On paper, Williams looks like a solid candidate, with a solid background in healthcare as a GP etc, but is said to have been not very liked when MP for Stockton South. He is pro-EU in a very anti-EU part of the UK.
Labour’s national profile at present is not encouraging. The Jewish lobby managed, after a four-year struggle, to bin Jeremy Corbyn, replacing him with Keir Starmer, married to a woman who is a Jewish lawyer, and whose children are being brought up as Jewish.
Starmer is doing no better than Corbyn did in gaining public trust or popularity.
I do not feel inclined to call the result, as yet, though obviously Labour is on the back foot. If the Conservative Party wins, it will not be because there is sudden enthusiasm for it, or for Boris-idiot, but because Labour is sliding to oblivion. If Labour loses, Hartlepool may go down in British political history as the beginning of the end for the Labour Party.
Out of over 70,000 eligible voters, fewer than 30,000 turned out to vote. Official turnout was 42.7%. Of those (nearly) 30,000, only about 8,500 voted for the Labour Party candidate. 8,500 out of a possible 70,000…
The beginning of the end for the Labour Party.
Update, 13 July 2025
Well, since 2021, much water under the bridge. At the 2024 General Election, Labour recaptured the seat with 46.2% of the vote. The former MP, Jill Mortimer, sank with the rest of the Sunak Con Party, and came third, with a vote-share of only 21.9%. Reform UK came second, with 24.5% (about the same as the Brexit Party vote in 2019).
The present MP is one Jonathan Brash, an almost invisible former schoolteacher. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Brash. I imagine that Reform UK might unseat him in 2028-2029. We shall see.
As for the 2021 by-election candidates, the Labour candidate, Paul Williams, returned to work as a doctor in the NHS, and the Conservative Party candidate and then MP, Jill Mortimer, seems now to have returned to her farm and B&B business in North Yorkshire.
Heard half an hour of what used to be called the BBC’s “flagship news show on radio”. Do they have the cheek to still use that description? I hope not. Terrible. Dull in the extreme: Covid Covid Covid blah blah, Covid Covid Covid blah blah. Rubbish presented as news and “analysis”. Pathetic.
Rachel Reeves, the pro-Israel lobby MP (nominally “Labour”) was on, talking about David Cameron-Levita, Boris Johnson, and the breaking of the Ministerial Code. All very earnest, superficially, and I am sure that a few people in the Westminster Bubble were interested, but not 99% or more of the British people.

The “design” of a higher race, if you like.

Startling ignorance of course, though rather highlighting the Hitchens “Oxford” obsession (he lives there). Not everyone knows the sex of even famous people, if the names are unusual.
When I started Bar practice in London in the early 1990s, I was given one of my relatively few Crown Court cases (I always did more public, administrative and civil law, as compared to criminal).
The case involved the sale of counterfeit tapes, and was set down for trial, to be heard at Snaresbrook Crown Court. One of the artistes allegedly copied was Shabba Ranks. My first question to the clerk at Chambers was “who’s she?“. Not a good start (it’s a “he”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabba_Ranks).
That was not my first Crown Court trial (the first having been a case of “s.18” GBH, aka “GBH with intent”, a serious charge carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment), but it was at any rate one of the first few.
I was always lucky in the Crown Court, partly because, as a mainly non-crime barrister, I never graduated to the really serious criminal cases such as murder, terrorism etc. The most serious cases rarely result in acquittal, because the evidence is usually very strong and often overwhelming.
Well, anyway…more by luck than judgment, I did manage to do OK in my counterfeit tapes trial, after (on the first morning), the Prosecution told me that they were discontinuing (on the ground of cost, the cost of proving via forensic science that the tapes concerned actually were not genuine). Thus my defence, based mainly on an arguably implausible alibi, was never tested.
Incidentally, I was also lucky in that “GBH with intent” trial, held in what was then the Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court (the building in Parliament Square now occupied by the Supreme Court of the UK). In that trial, the defendant, despite having stabbed the thuggish “victim”, and then having poured boiling oil over him, was acquitted on the ground of self-defence.

We have a rotten Government and an equally ridiculous official Opposition, but the idea that “the House of Windsor” could rule autocratically is beyond satire. Who exactly?

I suppose that at least Andrew and William could fly away, piloting their own helicopters, when it all went wrong…

“We think of the Wall and the Stasi when we think of the GDR. But few are aware of the political correctness, the children stuffed into nurseries while their mothers were marched off to wage-slavery, the comprehensive schools and the contempt for the church.”— Take away the Wall and the Stasi and the rest is pretty much the same as 2021 Britain. Maybe that is the point that Hitchens is trying to make, in fact…
It always makes me laugh when some uncultured, semi-educated “antifascist” idiot and/or Jew calls social-national people “knuckledraggers” or the like; low culture, education, or intelligence is at least as common, I would say far more so, on the so-called “antifascist” side.
Because both Government and Opposition are pro-“The Great Reset” and “the Great Replacement”, both are riddled with agents of the Jewish lobby, both are pro-ZOG [Zionist Occupation Government], pro-NWO [New World Order] and in favour of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, and therefore both following exactly the same agenda. Understand now??

Not sure that I can agree with Hitchens. “Peter Simple”, whose stuff I occasionally saw in the early 1970s, always seemed to me to be a rather unfunny propagandist of a kind of faux-English suburban pseudo-reactionary mindset. Fake. At least, that was my occasional impression, a long time ago.

There are plenty of examples of socio-political madness at present in the Western world, not least the near-worship of the blacks (as in the “BLM” nonsense), and in respect of “the virus”. The former is nonsense partly because much of our present world has been created over the past few thousand years, and especially the past 600 years, by white European people(s). The blacks were and are mere adjuncts, bystanders, spectators, sometimes nuisances and, yes (and as the “BLM” proponents themselves say) sometimes “victims”.
As to the latter of my two examples, i.e. “the virus”, in some respects that seems to be a deeper-embedded sort of madness, perhaps because based on a deeper emotion— fear.
The Coronavirus or Covid-19 virus has (supposedly) so far killed somewhere around 2 million people in the world. That is about one person in every 4,000 people. In the UK, the death toll per unit of population has been far higher (taking the statistics as given, though they are obviously faked or wrong to a great degree). In the UK, there have been well over 60,000 people who have died at least “with” Coronavirus. That is somewhere around one person in every 1,000 people in the UK.
Conclusion as to seriousness: serious but not existentially so.
Conclusion as to measures taken: absolutely mad. Society has been crippled, normal life largely put on hold, civil rights abrogated, and the UK economy facing a very serious hit. A cowed and frightened population have been walking around (even on solitary country walks etc!) in facemasks (despite such masks being of doubtful use), and every kind of busybody and self-appointed guardian of public behaviour given loose rein. That applies also to the police.
Meanwhile, millions of people are all but abandoned by the NHS because their ailments (including the most serious) are priotitized as secondary in importance to the supposed battle against “the virus”.
The public debate, such as there is, is futile, because a huge propaganda campaign has frightened the unthinking mass of the people into imagining that their lives are in danger from this virus, whereas for 999 out of 1,000 people that is simply not so. Reasoned arguments from such as Lord Sumption, the former Law Lord (Supreme Court justice), cut little ice, because emotion almost always trumps reason.
Oh, well. In the phrase of the day, which so well sums up the present apathy and complacency, which applies in almost everything now (apart from the “panicdemic”), “we are where we are”…
Alison Chabloz
On this Easter Sunday, let us not forget brave and persecuted satirist, singer and songwriter, Alison Chabloz, presently sitting in prison because a malicious Jew-Zionist cabal instigated a prosecution under the notoriously flawed Communications Act 2003, s.127.
It is to be hoped that Counsel for Alison Chabloz will soon be able to secure her release on bail pending appeal (to Crown Court) against an egregiously poor verdict and sentence by a magistrate. Unfortunately, that is unlikely to happen (if it does happen) before Tuesday [6 April 2021], at earliest.
Bored by 'University Challenge', I wrote my own quiz, with questions which are interesting even if you don't know the answers. Guaranteed free of African flags, Pacific island statelets, obscure mathematicians or quantum physics: https://t.co/mwMA4HCOs3
That last is interesting as a metaphor. The same view, pretty much, that John Buchan, or Zuleika Dobson, might have seen before the First World War, or that others might have seen between the wars. Oxford now is hugely different (not just in terms of buildings but socially too) from both 1911 and the 1930s world of Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited, from that of C.S. Lewis, Tolkien and the Inklings, but that view remains essentially the same.
When I was a (rather belated) law student, in the 1980s, there was being discussed the question of whether barristers would continue to wear wigs and gowns. The wisest answer came from a lecturer who said that the Bar would cast aside everything except the wigs and gowns. The outward forms would remain.
In fact, while the above has proven to be mainly the case (in Crown Courts especially), in County Court the judge has discretion to dispense with the old form of dress, and in High Court and other fora (particularly in commercial cases) the old form of dress is often not in use now (neither is it in family law cases).
Nonetheless, most people do encounter the practising Bar in Crown Courts, and there the old forms remain in force. The substance of the Bar has, however, changed out of all recognition even since I was finally (having spent time in the USA) Called to the Bar in 1991.
Looking at the UK, the same is true in many other ways. Look at, for example, the Monarchy. It looks, at least largely, similar to what it was in, say 1956, the year of my birth. In reality, it has changed to something rather different. As I have blogged on previous occasions, whatever one may think of the Queen and Consort, no-one could mistake them or their lifestyle for that of “ordinary people”.
When you look at Charles, Anne, Andrew, Edward, there is less of the “royal”. You could just about (certainly in the case of the last three) imagine them living in some expensive part of suburbia, as part of (if the term now has any meaning) the rich “middle classes”, or indeed the “nouveaux riches”; or (as indeed is the case) living in Gloucestershire or Surrey, racing around in Range-Rovers, like characters in an “Aga saga”.
What about William and Kate, Harry and the Royal Mulatta? Notionally “royal” (in the case of William and Kate), but only in a “holding on by the fingertips” sense. Certainly there is nothing royal about Harry the “Royal Cuck” and Meghan the “Royal Mulatta” (who, not so many years ago, was actually married to someone else, a Jew businessman in Southern California!).
I do not want to be too hard on Harry. He obviously has emotional or mental problems, and was bagged by the Mulatta easier than the Duke of Edinburgh used to bag grouse, but he is basically now a peripheral nobody, albeit with plenty of money and still holding (so far) a couple of English titles.
William and Kate? At present still lined up to be King and Queen at some point, but I rather doubt that they will reach the finishing post.

Perhaps so, but if the idea was to prevent “subversives” from taking over the BBC or heavily infiltrating it, the policy was a signal failure in the wider sense. The BBC, at the head of the UK msm, has been the flagship for the socio-political collapse of Britain, and has supported every rotten cause of the past 50 years.
The most necessary thing in the UK is not even, as a first step, a political purge, but a purge of the mainstream media in general. Not just lying news media and “journalist” scribblers but, inter alia, the whole range of “celebrities”, comedians, show business types etc.
Some readers have assumed that I must have or had a personal dislike of Hendron. Not so. In fact, I had never even heard of him until I read about his Old Bailey trial, very lenient sentence, and his even more lenient treatment by the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal(s) before which he subsequently appeared.
My animus, if such it be (and incredulity), is a result of the incredible difference between the way in which I was treated (for having tweeted 5 tweets, completely true and accurate and [but] hostile to Jews or at least Jewish influence) and Hendron’s treatment for his egregious defaults, as chronicled. Read my blog post.
I also found it incredible, reading his tweets, that Hendron seemed incapable of thinking and writing logically, or of constructing a literate English sentence. However, the Bar is now a dustbin, so what more can I say? If the Bar thinks that it is OK to have, as practising barrister, someone of Hendron’s type, unable to write or argue coherently, and of (in several ways) dubious character, then that is a matter for the Bar dustbin-profession as it now is.
Now I see this: https://www.legalfutures.co.uk/latest-news/high-court-overturns-barristers-suspension-due-to-lacuna. It turns out that Hendron had his lenient Bar sanction made even more lenient by reason of the fact that, being already suspended at the time of the proceedings, the Tribunal had no power to notionally suspend him further, or indeed apply ay sanctions to him, because he was not a “regulated person” at the time.
I had an exemplary record as a barrister, received several judicial commendations, was mentioned favourably in the main legal directories, and was never suspended from practice, but when the Jewish lobby (“UK Lawyers for Israel”, nominally) instigated my disbarment (complaint 2014, disbarment late 2016), I had not been in practice since 2008, and had not had a Bar “practice certificate” since that time. The disbarment was a completely politically-motivated msm farce orchestrated by a pack of Zionist Jews (“UK Lawyers for Israel”, many of whom also belong to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” who have persecuted Alison Chabloz for years).
At the said proceedings (more specifically, in the considerable documentation that preceded the actual hearing), I made the point that I had not been “regulated” since 2008 (a point, I might add, that Hendron, in his own case, missed…the Counsel instructed by the Bar Standards Board —very honestly— raised it against his own interest).
I was (wrongfully) disbarred (on that basis and in any case), but (to give them credit at least for that) the Bar Standards Board actually wrote to me a year or two after my highly-publicized hearing (Google “Ian Millard barrister” and read what the msm said about me at the time). The BSB then gave me the chance to apply to have my disbarment overturned, on a basis akin to that of Hendron. I suppose that must have been somehow connected with the internal Bar fallout from Hendron’s matter.
In other words, I would still be a barrister today, had I applied. However, for me, there would have been little point, I having had no intention to resume Bar practice, though I suppose that it would have denied the Jew-Zionist pack and their “antifascist” “useful idiots” the opportunity to describe me on Twitter, frequently, and with unsurprising lack of originality, as “disgraced and disbarred barrister Ian Millard” or, as at least one mentally-disturbed Jewish woman often does, on Twitter, as “disbarred Barista“! Well, if I say so myself, I do make a rather good cup of coffee, though I have never done so as a paid occupation…
As far as the egregious Hendron is concerned, his travails continue, and he is at present again before a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal. I believe that it presently stands adjourned.
I had thought that Hendron was being given very lenient treatment because either he was (I assumed) from a very privileged background, or that he “knew too much” about illicit activities of senior members of Bar and Bench. Well, I read somewhere that Hendron went to some comprehensive school, so that would only seem to leave the “knows too much” theory…
I actually did not know, until yesterday, that supermarkets are open on Good Friday now. The materialistic 24/7 multikulti society…
@attiscusfinch104. They do not *forget*. They understand that they now serve the state, not the people. That's been the outcome, if not always the purpose, of police reforms for the past 60 years. Mainly this happened because those who should have prevented it, failed to do so. https://t.co/GAoTIdJS6g
…and much of the State and society generally in the UK has now been suborned by the “you-know-whos”…look at the Alison Chabloz saga of the past few years; look at the BBC and other msm output, as well.
Well, there it is— the new multikulti panicdemic UK police state, staffed by toytown police drones. Notionally done “for good reasons”, the police and others no doubt imagine…
1/2 The police invasion (on a Covid pretext) of a Good Friday devotion at an RC Church in Balham (apparently with a Polish congregation) must open everyone's eyes to the fact that this is no longer a Christian country.
2/2 I suspect older worshippers were all too familiar with Utopian state hostility to the worship of a rival authority. The officers seemed unfamiliar with church in general. Poignant that Met Police badge is still surmounted by a cross, on the Crown of St Edward.
I'm blocked by @thealiceroberts ,I think because I once won an argument with her abt schools. I'd just like to say 'Thank you' to her for showing once again that so much (not all, but a lot) of atheism is driven by insecurity and hostility. I should know, I used to be an atheist.
As with Professor Brian Cox, there are two sorts of “famous scientists”, the ones who make new discoveries and undertake research of importance, and those who are basically people making careers and money out of appearing on TV, radio, in print, and on official committees. Incidentally, if anyone knows of any great discoveries made by either Brian Cox or Alice Roberts (the latter of whom I had not heard until 5 minutes ago), please let me know and I shall publish a few lines about it. I should not wish to be unfair. I do not wait with bated breath, however.
Yes, but…Monsieur Rentoul, those other crises were not used as a method of bringing in a police state by stealth. The Great Reset and the Great Replacement (etc). The “panicdemic” is being so used, and not only in the UK.
Well, this week I got 6/10, thus again beating John Rentoul who scored 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 4, 6, 7, and 9 (and had to rack my brains to get question 10).
When I lived in Kazakhstan, in 1996-97 (a full year), I invited a friend at the Bar (let’s call him “Teddy”), a train buff par excellence, to visit me in Almaty (former Alma-Ata) by train. I found out what that would entail: a Eurostar journey from London to Paris or Brussels, then a train journey to Moscow, where he would have to change trains by going to another of Moscow’s several mainline stations. Then a 77-hour journey across the Russian countryside and then steppe to Almaty.
Like the character in, I think, one of Evelyn Waugh’s novels, Teddy thought that “abroad was bloody”, and told me that, because of his ideological opposition to the Channel Tunnel (I first heard of UKIP from him, maybe a year or two before a lady with whom I lunched told me about it), he would be unable to come. I think that the real reason was that he was nervous about negotiating his way across Moscow alone and with not a word of Russian; that, and the sheer discomfort of 77 hours on a post-Soviet express train. Thus Teddy missed out on seeing a then rather green and pleasant city full of pretty girls.
I quite like trains, though it does help, on a really long journey, if you are lucky enough to have the sort of accommodation used by the Tsars of all the Russias, or that of the Orient Express. When Andrei Sakharov was recruited to Stalin’s hydrogen bomb project, he travelled to the secret town where it was to be made aboard his own train car at the rear of a normal passenger train. The carriage contained a bedroom for Sakharov and his wife, a dining room, a kitchen operated by a cook, a lounge area, and accommodation for his several NKVD bodyguards (or should that just be “guards”?).
My own longest train journey was an involuntary one in the 1980s from Vienna to Ostend, and very uncomfortable it was. On the morning of the second day (departure having been in early evening), I got out at Cologne, wearing only a dressing gown, in order to buy pretzels on the platform. It was then that the train started to move. Had it not briefly stopped about 10 seconds later, giving me time to get aboard (non-central closing doors, thank God), I should have been stuck at Cologne Station with almost no money, no clothes, and no proper shoes; no passport either.

Update, 22 March 2022
Once again, I look at a fairly old blog post, only to find that many of the embedded tweets have been expunged by Twitter, leaving just blank space. The death of free speech is here, pretty much.
“Know-all” tweeter “@thinkingofanew1” has, like so many would-be or armchair Twitter “legal experts”, made himself (or herself, but probably the former) look stupid here. Alison Chabloz was not recently convicted of incitement (to anything) but of three charges under Communications Act 2003, s.127, a notorious “bad law” that has attracted academic and other legal criticism for over a decade.
Alison Chabloz is facing a possible trial involving “incitement” (at present it is uncertain whether it will happen, because as yet the Attorney-General’s permission has not been given) under the Public Order Act 1986, but that is a separate matter.
The recent conviction under the 2003 Act was grounded on the basis that Alison Chabloz made “grossly offensive” remarks, in the view of the trial judge (a magistrate). Incitement does not form part of the 2003 Act, and there is no need to establish any incitement, nor indeed any “mental element”. All that need be done is to establish that the act was done (in this case, that the remarks were made and broadcast etc), and that, in the view of the court, those remarks were “grossly offensive”.
In fact, tweeter “@thingofanew1” seems to misunderstand the elements of “incitement” in English law anyway. He/she must either be a wannabe lawyer (perhaps a first year law student) or anyway someone (and there are many such) who thinks that he/she understands the law , but plainly does not.
Do you believe Alison Chabloz should be jailed for her opinions on WW2 history?..bare in mind, Labour politicians regularly revise, downplay and deny crimes committed by Communist regimes.
It was with mild satisfaction that I recently noticed the vicious (and often inaccurate) “@GnasherJew” Twitter troll account being “suspended”, reinstated (after an outcry by the usual Jew-Zionist “claque”) and then “suspended” (expelled?) again. My account on Twitter was “suspended” (permanently) in 2018, after a crowd of Jews (including GnasherJew, who —like all demons— is or originally was not one but legion, a group) finally managed, after years of trying, to have my Twitter account closed.
Jews are usually given far more slack by Twitter than professed “antisemites”, but some have been expelled; I expect that more will follow. Some seem to have nothing much more to do with their time than post on Twitter. Like many, they overvalue Twitter, which is, in the end, largely a waste of time and effort.
…and if I am not mistaken, MP Tobias Ellwood [Con, Bournemouth East] is one of the officers of that unit, at least in a “Reserve” (TA, as was) capacity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobias_Ellwood.
The anti-lockdown, anti-facemask (etc) case is based mainly on reason. The pro-lockdown, pro-facemask muzzling case is based mainly on emotion (fear, mostly). Lord Sumption v. Piers Morgan, if you like. Emotion trumps thought. “EVERYONE’S GOING TO DIE FROM COVID!“, they cry. In fact, in the world generally, only 1 person in 4,000 has died from (or supposedly with) “the virus”, and even in the misgoverned UK the figure is only 1 in about every 1,000 inhabitants. No matter— emotion still trumps reason…
Excuses @cmp14837624 . If officers 'loved' to patrol on foot among the public, they wouldn't join or stay in an arrogant, car-borne office-based, heavily armed bureaucracy. Police once enforced the laws the public supported. Now they guard the state, and follow its weary dogmas. https://t.co/3rv2rzhXSP
Very true. The pathetic kow-towing of the “British” (resident in UK) population to the ever-mutating diktats of the part-Jew clown Johnson, and his Cabinet of idiots, proves that.
The perfect Zionist witness— saw the expression on the face of the prosecutor despite not having been there! No wonder one of the Ten Commandments is “thou shalt not bear false witness“! 3,300 years on, the sin continues…
I tried that when I first encountered her here in 2015. As you say, it doesn’t work.
You would not easily guess from that reply that “Dr. Dim” had to apologize (via his NHS employers) to Alison Chabloz only very recently, and also had to delete a lying tweet about her and others…

But I think he’ll fall foul of the new wokester rule that actors can only play parts for which they bring a ‘lived experience’. So only gays can play gays, only 7,000 year old men can play 7,000 year old men. Makes sense to me. https://t.co/QsOBsNWmhh
I wrote in July 2020: 'Britain’s muzzle consumption is now so high that 6 months from now there will be reports of dolphins and whales floundering about… as they choke on congealed clumps of used muzzles.' https://t.co/tAkzNdC11l
Hitchens did predict that terrible by-product of the “panicdemic” facemask nonsense; I recall reading his view about it.
Actually I was almost alone in my dislike for the London Olympic opening ceremony, even in the right-wing press. Foreign observers thought it baffling and weird, though. https://t.co/QGJPmMCbCR
In fact, Hitchens was not alone in disliking the 2012 “Olympischer Schauspiel“. Me too…
The French, whose health service is in many ways better than ours, are especially baffled. Ann-Elisabeth Moutet has written about this. https://t.co/hBhLjLeQeh
Quite. The French health service is, in most respects, better than the NHS. The Frenchwoman mentioned in that tweet by Hitchens wrote about how hospital wards ceased to exist in France in 1979 (they use these things called “hospital rooms”, for one or two people), and about how she was amazed when she realized, living in London about 30 years after that date, that almost all British hospital patients have to endure multibed wards.
The problem is that the NHS, a good idea in principle, varying in quality in practice, has become a sacred cow, something to be venerated and protected in itself. “Protect the NHS” (from Coronavirus), even if that means unnecessary suffering and unnecessary death in care homes, among patients needing consultation, testing, and treatment…and so on.

Secondly, the scribbler of the main item writes: “She also mocked Anne Frank and laughed during her earlier trial [i.e. in 2018] as the court heard how she mocked Jews being fashioned into lampshades, having their heads shrunk and being turned into bars of soap.”
The scribbler is mistaken. Alison Chabloz did not “mock Anne Frank” but the largely-forged diary (written by Otto Frank after WW2) attributed to Anne Frank; that is something different. As to the nonsense about bodies of deceased Jews being made into soap, lampshades etc, these were originally “black propaganda” atrocity stories manufactured by a British propaganda unit during the First World War, and then, so to speak, recycled during the Second. Even the Zionists accept now that (in either war) neither happened. The same goes, I think, for the shrunken heads, though it may be that SS-Ahnenerbe possessed a few for scientific reasons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnenerbe.
As previously noted, Alison Chabloz is now at HMP Bronzefield (prison) near Heathrow Airport. She may be transferred eventually, that prison being designated for real criminals (“Category A”): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HM_Prison_Bronzefield. In any case, it may be possible for her to get out on bail pending appeal of the egregious and harsh sentence passed yesterday by a magistrate (aka “District Judge (Criminal)”).
Finally, I see that a mentally-disturbed Zionist Jewish woman is claiming that I have “taken over” a Twitter account which, she claims, is or was being used by Alison Chabloz.
The above claims are not true. Firstly, as far as I know, the Twitter account in question is not and never was operated by Alison Chabloz.
Secondly, I have not “taken over” or used (ever) that, or any other, Twitter account. I only ever had one Twitter account (@ianrmillard), and that was “suspended” (expelled/removed) by Twitter in 2018 at the instigation of a Jewish Zionist pack which (I believe) included the said woman.
Since mid-2018, I have not posted (under any name or guise) anything on Twitter. I hope that that clarifies the situation.
The sentencing makes Alison Chabloz the first person in the UK to be jailed specifically for Holocaust denial, under the terms of the 2003 Communications Act.
In fact, tweeter “@MarmiteMarmz” is scribbling rubbish: “Speaking in court yesterday, District Judge Michael Snow told Chabloz: ‘I’m not sentencing you on the basis that you are anti-Semitic, I’m not sentencing you on the basis that you are a Holocaust denier…I’m sentencing you on the basis that on two separate occasions whilst subject to a suspended sentence, you participated in a radio programme where you made grossly offensive comments.” [Daily Mail]
As a Crown Court judge said in a previous matter involving Alison Chabloz, neither “holocaust” “denial” nor “antisemitism” are crimes in England.
