Energy bills in the UK
I have been blogging for years about how the UK should get closer to Russia, which would result in this country and its people getting oil and especially gas at near cost-price; instead of which this inept government of clowns has not only not done that, but has insisted on poking Russia with a sharp stick, first of all by applying sanctions which hurt the UK far more than Russia, and secondly by supplying arms and money to the dictatorial and illegitimate Zelensky regime in Kiev.

Part-Jew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Rubinstein. (what he says in his clip is mainly right, all the same).
Sunak personifies large parts of the overall problem: an Indian resident in the UK, and with a “British” passport, but avoiding most taxes, and who holds or until recently held, other passports; a former Goldman Sachs vulture banker; a globalist; pro-Israel; pro-immigration.
Not only news and opinion; the “blacks with everything” agenda has now taken over drama, TV soaps, TV ads, poster ads etc. I blogged about it a few years ago, in fact before it became completely pervasive: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/10/tv-ads-and-soaps-are-the-propaganda-preferred-by-the-system-in-the-uk/.
I saw a new ad recently. A white woman, 30-40, buying or leasing an expensive new car. Among the images, one of a mixed-race small child and one —almost subliminal— of the woman kissing the skull of a recumbent Bantu (father of said child?). Rassenschande.
Dr. Goebbels had nothing on this. 24/7 pervasive propaganda, pushing what amounts to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, or “White Genocide” by stealth.
Action directe!

For me, this matter should have been resolved by better planning at an earlier stage.
BBC Radio 4 News
Heard some of the 1800 hrs. BBC news on radio. Jesus H. Christ! Pure propaganda, mostly given over to the Commonwealth Games, which are apparently now in progress in Birmingham.
The reporter was obviously black, I think West Indian, and most of what he had to say was basically an attack on Britain, the British Empire, and the real (white) British people who built this country.
Defund the BBC, you say? I say obliterate it.
To make it worse, who was blathering on about his “convictions” (he has none, sadly, in either sense) but Boris-idiot, still posing as PM and saying that the £800M wasted on the aforesaid Birmingham black/brown pleb-fest was a good investment! That idiot really breaks all records for both dishonesty and sheer incompetence.
Televised sentencing
Saw on the TV news the first-ever filmed and broadcast sentencing, for murder. The judge was one Sarah Munro, i.e. H.H. Sarah Munro Q.C. I met her once in the (unisex) “advocate’s room” (robing room, as was) at Plymouth —or maybe Exeter, in fact; I cannot now recall— County Court (where I was appearing) and Crown Court (where she was appearing). Not sure whether she had taken silk at that point. Maybe. Sometime between 2002 and 2007. A very charming lady.
As to televised sentencing, I suppose it had to come eventually.
I was, when a practising barrister (1992-2008, with interruptions), always amazed at how few non-legal people even understood the basic court system. For example, the difference between a Crown Court and a County Court. Perhaps because they are now often in the same building. That should be taught, together with a few elementary legal concepts, at the secondary school level (as was done in ancient Rome). Either it is not being done in the UK, or not done effectively.

The only hope for Greece was Golden Dawn. Instead, the Greeks mostly clutched at the wrong straw, the fake “Leftist”/”socialist” party, Syriza, which then betrayed the Greek people and sold out to EU globalist finance-capitalism. Meanwhile, Golden Dawn is repressed, its leaders killed or in prison.

Later still…well, let’s draw a veil…

If Putin is in serious danger of losing the war in Ukraine, he may resort to *tactical* nuclear weapons. In poker terms, that would “up the ante”— the Kiev regime has no defence, and has no such weapons itself. Then it would be for NATO either to match that gambit, or not. If NATO uses even tactical nuclear weapons against any Russian target, we are in WW3. Immediately.

And all that help only really achieving one thing ie more and more Ukrainians dying and the country being utterly ruined so that it becomes a state that won’t be able to recover.
What sort of possible ‘victory’ is that? Peace talks will have to take place sooner or later. Britain and Europe can’t allow America to use Ukraine for their proxy war against Russia anymore.
Unlike them we have to be able to live alongside Russia in Europe. Russia, or, at least, the Western part of it is a European country and our foreign policies need to take account of that fact.

How it could/might happen is as outlined: Russia unable to maintain momentum, Ukraine supplied with more and more advanced weapons by NATO. Russia backed into a corner (*even if still in formerly Ukrainian territory) and, unable to lose face, using tactical nuclear weapons, battlefield weapons. NATO then faced with either Zelensky’s regime losing (and possibly being wiped out) or NATO supplying/using similar weapons. At that point, if NATO were to respond in kind tactically, Russia *will* launch weapons so terrifying that much of the civilization we now know will cease to exist. Yes, Russia (or much of it) may go the same way. That does not help us at all…

What is truely terrifying is not only the fact the Russian Federation has more nuclear weapons than any other country on the planet but that many of these weapons are amongst the most technologically advanced ones in existence as well eg that one called Sarmat RS28?
The Russians are a proud nation, they always have been and they are not the sort of nation to easily back down when forced into a corner. It really is unwise to keep-on prodding the Russian bear and not expect a reaction eventually.

How about a nice recolonization of India, eh? You ungrateful lot told us to get out of India so we did but you followed us back here so we couldn’t have been as evil and wicked as you say we were!
At any rate, even at the height of the Raj there were only about 200,000 Britons in India – a tiny fraction of the overall population of hundreds of millions of Indians and we rarely mixed socially to a substantial degree.
Your population here is of a greater ratio of Indians compared to Brits so who is the greater victim of colonisation?
We never took over a single town in India compared to your colonisation of Slough and Southall etc.

Hello Ian! Today I would like to share with you and your readers some popular Argentinian ideas/misconceptions about the English people (for us is always “Los ingleses” (The English). The concept of “the British” was always alien to us.
A) The English are extremely punctual (In the old days, I mean the late 1960s when I was a boy, people used to speak of “puntualidad inglesa” = English punctuality)
B) The English are very well-mannered (A man who was very polite and elegant was called “un señorito inglës” = A little English lord)
C) ALL the English are blond (LOL)
D) The English stop working to drink tea at 5.00 o’clock (LOL)
E) Working-class Englishmen are violent drunks/hooligans
These were popular ideas in the late 60s’. You must understand that at that time our idea of the English was shaped by the TV. There were lots of British films shown in those days (mostly classics from 1940-1960). I remember how much I loved Norman Wisdom’s films and my heroes were David Niven and Stewart Granger.

Afternoon tea should be at 4 pm or 4.30, traditionally, though in the north of England, factory workers would often have their main feed soon after leaving work at 5pm, and called it “tea”. There is also a tradition (now all but dead, I should think) of afternoon tea with extra food called “high tea”.

My mother has always disliked tea, and I do not think I ever had a drink of tea until I was about 9, in the house of a friend from school, and even that was lemon tea (of which I had never even heard, btw; the same people also gave me peanut butter, another foodstuff of which I had never heard; around 1965). Coffee I only drank from the age of about 10. Filter or perked.
When I was in Africa in 1977 (Rhodesia mostly, and a week or two in Botswana), I was told that the Rhodesian special forces (some of whom I encountered) usually took cold tea (without milk) in their water bottles because it slaked thirst better than water (in the heat of the day).

Costa Coffee (set-up by Italian immigrants to the UK) in the early 1970’s is a very large, multi-million pound business with outlets on many high streets (sometimes even two of them as in Upminster near me) and inside shopping centres and the US owned Starbucks makes quite a profit off we Britons.
I rarely go into Costa Coffee but I must admit I am quite partial to their iced drink range on hot days here.
