Battles past
Saturday quiz
Damn. For the second time recently, political journalist John Rentoul beat my score (which has happened only very rarely over the past several years). This week, he scored 8/10 as against my 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 6, and 10.
From the newspapers
As not infrequently noted on the blog, Ukraine now has few domestic volunteers willing to go to near-certain death or serious injury at the front. Likewise, few foreign adventurers are now willing to risk it, whether for misguided idealism, for thrills, or for —relatively paltry— money.
Many Ukrainians are trying to evade conscription, and/or to get across the borders of Ukraine (forbidden to most men 18+ in age). Meanwhile, Kiev-regime press-gangs are now scouring the streets trying to find draft-dodgers. The wealthier evaders are willing to pay plenty for an exemption document, which might also allow them to escape the country.
“Ukraine and Russia have engaged in tit-for-tat drone and missile attacks as their war of attrition intensifies.
President Volodymyr Zelensky is increasingly taking the war to Russia, with fresh strikes on Moscow yesterday.
Earlier this month, Ukrainian drones damaged government offices in the capital, and on Thursday Russia said it downed two drones headed for Moscow, a day after two others were destroyed on approach. Targets yesterday included the west of the capital near the Karamyshinsky hydroelectric power station.
The attacks led to the closure of airspace over Moscow’s Vnukovo international airport and Kaluga city, 125 miles to the south west.
At least two drones were reported, with one filmed buzzing the Russian capital. A drone was said to have been shot down by Russia. There were also reports of an explosion in Krasnogorsk in north-west Moscow.“
[Daily Mail]
Should the Russian leadership so decide, Kiev and all other Ukrainian cities can be razed to the ground, either via nuclear attack or via conventional missiles, bombs etc. That would be a terrible thing, and bitter for both sides, but the Kiev regime is playing with fire.
After the 2020-2022 years of police-state “lockdowns”, stupid “anti-virus” measures such as the facemask nonsense and the ludicrous “Rule of Six”, and the NHS leaving millions to “die on the vine” without medical or dental services, not many will feel sorry for doctors who, even the junior ones, get paid more than most British people. Many of the doctors are also from affluent backgrounds, as is the one featured in that Daily Mail report.
Migration invasion. Umvolkung.
You only have to look at the bitch in question (one Pamela Mattinson, of Bolton, Lancashire): dressed in exercise clothing even at court, and a grandmother at the age of 48 (though looking 70 years old)… a “chavscum” grandmother.
Oh…and of course (needless to add) she has “issues” with alcoholism and her “mental health”…drinking vodka in the middle of the day…
Look at her with (I presume) her equally “chavscum” daughter, smirking on the steps of the court.
Rhetorically, one might ask why her sentence was suspended, but these days, in England, you rarely get a prison sentence unless you murder someone, or publish something that the Jewish lobby does not like.
Britain now has millions of feral and useless persons of that sort. The country needs to be cleansed.
At least the kitten recovered and was rehomed, but the bitch who tried to kill it has not been suitably punished, not at all.
This is not simply a report about an abused kitten, nor even about one wicked woman and her probably-equally-unpleasant family, but also the context of a whole stratum of society that should be straightened out or eliminated.
Tweets seen
That first tweeter, “Mariken”, is very typical of many naive “Jack Monroe” supporters. Even after the past year or more of gradually-intensifying exposure of the “grift” and outright fraud by “Jack Monroe” (one or two mild assessments were even published in the Guardian and Daily Mail), “Mariken” obviously has no idea at all. Amusingly, her Twitter profile says “Animal lover. Hate corruption and liars“, yet here she is lauding psycho liar “Jack Monroe”, who also killed at least one or two domestic animals by wilful neglect or worse.
You could hardly make it up— the silly woman thinks that “Jack Monroe” is “a great role model“! What part of constant lying, “grift”, theft, fraud, and the harassment of both critics and disenchanted donors (etc) does “Mariken” fail to understand? Not to mention alcohol and drug abuse, and the profligate spending of other people’s money (etc).
America, “land of freedom”…
Yes. Starmer stands for nothing, basically, except of course being even more of an Israel/Jewish-lobby puppet than (inter alia) David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, Liz Truss, or “Boris” idiot. As previously said on the blog, Labour also now stands for absolutely nothing, unless it is the parody “we can run workhouses better” (etc).
As against that, the present “Conservative” government has taken “Boris”-idiot’s “omnishambles” to a whole new level. Even its own MPs are now loud in condemnation of its total incompetence. The Con MPs hoping to stay on as MPs, that is; many others are already in the lifeboats as the Con ship sinks in the opinion polls.
My assessment at present is that there is no enthusiasm for Labour (beyond the usual Twitter drones). Labour is up because the Con Party and its misgovernment are down, purely that.
On the above premises, while the Sunak government is obviously doomed, it may not be quite as doomed as presently appears. If the economy (the real economy, for the average Joe) improves a little, if inflation falls at the same time, i.e. over the next 6-9 months, and if that average Joe, and Josephine, feel apathetic or so-so rather than actually angry about the present government, then they may just stick with Con rather than defect to LibDem or Lab.
If enough of them do that, in marginal seats, then the prospect of a 1997-style Labour landslide (seats, not the popular vote) may just disappear like a mirage. We may then be back in hung Parliament territory.

No mystery. Just part of the implementation of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: ferry blacks and browns etc from Africa and Asia to Europe, get the white Europeans to mix with them, thus over time creating a coffee-coloured population, then that population to be ruled over by Jews and part-Jews (eg Rothschilds, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, David Cameron-Levita, Zac Goldsmith etc, to name but a few).
Do not forget, also, the hundreds of thousands of births to non-whites within the UK over the past year alone.

Hello Ian: That moron who calls herself “Mariken” on Twatter must be: A) One of Jack’s brainless fanatical supporters (or, as you say “utter mugs”, LOL) B) A sock-puppet account. The text is unbelievable! “You are awesome and a great role model” (???) 😆 😆 😆 What the hell is going on?
If she meant that she is one of those persons who “cannot be more stupid because there are only 24 hours in a day”
Regarding the UK, the prospect of elections is a gloomy one; the same applies to Argentina where Alberto Fernandez (the Argentinian version of Boris Johnson) is leaving after the worst presidential term ever, only to be replaced by Sergio Massa (our local version of Keir Starmer), the “opposition” is made-up of doormats of the Jewish lobby. In fact, one of the candidates (Patricia Bullrich) is married to Guillermo Yanco, a Jew who is vice-president of the Holohoax Museum and a fanatical Zionist.

Sorry to hear that the Argentine version of “democratic” politics is just as broken as the UK version.
As for that “Mariken” tweeter, at first I thought that it must be a fake account; now, I am unsure. There are still 382 (a few up from last week) “utter mugs” (I have not yet found a better way to describe them) paying “Jack Monroe” something every single month. Even at £3.50 (the lowest level), that is still £1,337 (nearly 500,000 Argentine pesos) each month. Not a fortune, but I would not object to being given that. In fact, she is probably getting nearer to £4,000 (nearly 1.5 million Argentine pesos) a month from such idiots.

Dear Ian: £4.000 = U$S 5.077 Let’s say U$S 5.000; at this moment almost everybody in Argentina is operating using the so called “blue dollar” which nearly doubles the official rate; therefore at 600 pesos ea. 5.000 dollars represent 3.000.000 pesos.
To put it in an Argentinian context a person with a monthly income of £ 1.000 = U$S 1.270 is getting 762.000 pesos; that allows the recipient a very nice lifestyle (unless he/she is an idiot who loves “glamorous” brands and fancy, and very expensive, restaurants).

Lee Anderson MP is the current hate figure of the moment for the overwhelmingly leftist, PC globalist mob on Twitter and gormless idiots scribbling in rags like the decidedly NON independent Independent and Guardian.
He expressed himself in a very crude way but the setiment was fine. He should shut-up about the large numbers of people who are dependent on food banks which is a sad situation but as far as the death penalty and immigration is concerned he should continue to speak out.
It is a shame he isn’t either a junior minister at the Home Office or, better still, Home Secretary.
We desperately need hardline anti immigration and anti criminal Right-wingers in there instead of the globalist, liberal idiots we have had for thirteen years.
Lee is wasted as Tory deputy chairman. Give him a real job!
It would be so funny if he was re-elected next year. There might be a chance of that happening since his seat is very unusual in that it has a high vote share for independents (an independent candidate came second last time)

Even if the economy improves the Tories are still probably doomed. There is an example set in fairly recent history ie when the economy started to recover after Black Wednesday in 1992 all the way up to the 1997 election the Tories got no credit for it because the events of Autumn 1992 had damaged their economic credibility so severely. They never recovered from that despite the fact unemployment was falling, people’s incomes were improving ect.
Liz Truss and her moronic Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, look like they have damaged the Tory Party’s credibility on managing the economy in a similar way.

Yes. That is probably correct. I suppose that one difference between 2023-24 and the year or two before the 1997 General Election is that a kind of pseudo-messianic aura surrounded Blair and Labour then (as I understand— I myself was overseas for almost all of the time in those years, mainly in Kazakhstan). “Things Can Only Get Better” (hardy ha ha…) etc. There is now no enthusiasm (outside the dimmer sides of Twitter) for Starmer-Labour. The Lab vote at the next election is entirely dependent on how high or low the Con vote goes. There is no intrinsic power in the Lab vote at present.

There was then and no doubt still is a large percentage of voters who can only be described as congenital idiots with a capital I. I was never taken in by that utter anti-British scumbag Tony Bliar. I sensed he was a ‘wrong ‘un’ as early as 1994 when he became Labour leader.
If only John Smith had not died who seemed to be a more decent person than the Anti-Christ that was the Bliar creature or John Major had been defeated by John Redwood in 1995.
If either scenario had happened then Labour would probably have won still but not had such a ludicrous majority that they misused to such disastrous effect.
Looking back in hindsight, it would have been better if we had had a hung parliament in 1992 as was predicted then the fourth Tory term in a row wouldn’t have happened and New globalist anti-British Labour wouldn’t have been elected in 1997 with that silly majority.

John Major wasn’t popular particularly but he wasn’t disliked to any real extent either. Sunak IS NOT popular anywhere apart from, perhaps, in a few of the more higher income and cosmopolitan Tory seats like the Cities of London and Westminster, Chelsea and Fulham, Kensington.
His popular appeal in the ‘Red Wall’ seats they won from Labour and which comprise the basic building blocks of their current majority is practically non existent.
Their idiot MPs had chances to get it right last Summer but they pushed forward, firstly, Liz Truss and then Sunak. Penny Mordaunt would have been their best bet seeing as she was absent from Boris Idiot’s cabinet of morons. She represented a real break with that history. I’m afraid Boris left behind an awfully big stink so they should have gone for someone who couldn’t be associated with Boris in anyway.

That would probably be the best outcome.

The Tory vote in the country has fallen too far and that will be reflected in their marginal and safe seats as well. You should only have a percentage decline in your vote share in by-elections from the previous general election of around a quarter to a third at most. They have been losing 40% plus apart from in the contests at Uxbridge and South Ruslip and Bexley and Old Sidcup.

Re your news item about that ‘Chavscum’ woman. I can’t see how you can ‘eliminate’ people like that without bringing back the death penalty and you are opposed to capital punishment.
I’m normally for it but even so you can’t go around putting everyone up against a wall and shooting them like what happened to Ceaucescu and his wife in 1989.
No, capital punishment still has to be used sparingly and is best utilised on degenerates like drug dealers as in very well-governed Singapore.
Chavscum should not be executed in mass numbers unless they commit very serious crimes like murders or drug dealing. It is best to sterilise them to prevent their breeding.

I distinguish between “capital punishment” and executive measures based on the health of society broadly.
Your final sentence, though, is at least in my thinking as a possibility.
Of course, “elimination” is not necessarily the same as “physical destruction” or “killing”.

Hi Ian,
“dressed in exercise clothing even at court”
I have only been in a courthouse once in, the late eighties in East London. What I saw shocked me , how they were dressed and actually drinking cans of beer.
I was suited and booted to my best. I defended myself, the charge was ‘ drunk in a licenced premises.’ I won my case , lol (very proud of that). A bit of a story but, that was the day I realised the local bobbies were not very bright.

Your manner of dress may have assisted you, subliminally.
Alcohol is supposed to be banned in court buildings (I think). I never saw that but then, after my pupillage in 1992-1993, I rarely entered the magistrates’ courts (until this year!). I was mostly in the High Court and County Courts (in the early/mid 1990s) and County Courts (2002-2007), as well as tribunals.
It is funny to see old episodes (1970s) of Crown Court (the TV series) and see how politely-dressed are the juries.

No, the lack of intelligence of the police that arrested me got me off. This was a raid on a local pub , gangster run pub, which went wrong.
My first question to the police when I crossed examined him (remember, my first time in any courthouse) was “what tangible evidence do you have that I was drunk?” This question totally flumoxed the police officer as he had no idea what tangible meant, the court usher had to explain. Off course his answer finally was “none” .

I was spurred by John’s use of the funny (at least for me) expression “chav scum”. The word “chav” does not sound English and I was right. It comes from the gypsies (or Romani, as the politically correct morons like to call them) the word is “chavi” or “chavo”.
The Spaniards also adopted the word from the gypsies a long time ago. In Spain (in classic Spanish) a boy is known as “un niño” but also as “un chaval” or “un chavo”. The latter expression is also very popular in Mexico where the most popular TV show from the 1980s was “El chavo del ocho” (The boy from No. 8)
