“Mark, rather than making witless jokes about a helicopter crash, please can you focus on giving instructions to your solicitors about my claim for costs against you and your firm Patron Law. Your former client – the one who is still alive – is vulnerable. He and I need some explanation as to why you insisted I give you huge sums of money to settle my claim.“
This will probably end up with the egregious Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, and/or his colleagues, having to settle a professional negligence claim.
Where Goodwin goes wrong is in failing to see that only some form or forms of social nationalism can save Europe as anything much more than a geographic space inhabited mainly (after about 2100, possibly before then) by non-Europeans.

Goodwin is also entirely in consonance with the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby. That means that he gets an easy ride from the mass media, but also means that he has hitched his wagon to the “controlled opposition” populists such as Reform UK. They cannot appeal to the bulk of the people, but can only hoover up votes from disenchanted people who were, mostly, Conservative Party supporters until recently. Some were also Labour voters, true, but not so many. Maybe —at peak— 20% of the electorate.
“I’m less worried about Lewis’ slips with the date and the grammar, and more worried about his grasp of the law! It seems Lewis thinks when that when you sue for libel, you are not entitled to an undertaking from the defendant saying they won’t further publish the libel because it is you that has put the libel in the public domain.
So if you don’t sue for an undertaking/injunction, they can further publish. And, er, if you do sue for an undertaking/injunction, there’s no need for one because you’ve put the libel in the public domain. No doubt libel lawyers will be scratching their heads at this.”
Ha. The fact is that, for all his brief “celebrity” about 10-12 years ago, Lewis is not much of a lawyer, in my opinion. That is even if we leave aside Lewis’s own admission, before the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018, that at times he had no idea what he was saying, writing, or doing (by reason of his intake of prescription drugs).
“A tale in four acts.
1. In Nov 2021 I suggested a nominal (say £5) settlement with Mr Cantor.
2. Mr Lewis rejected it in principle, apparently on Mr Cantor’s instructions.
3. Mr Cantor now says Mr Lewis said the only way to get a zero money settlement was to ask me for £5k.
4. Because I could never offer Mr Cantor anything better than a nominal settlement, and that was explicitly rejected by Mr Lewis, Mr Cantor lost at trial and is likely to lose his home. What was going on here?“
This is far from having been the first time that “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (his old Twitter/X name, now supplanted by “@MLewisLawyer”) has acted entirely unprofessionally, but up until now the fanatical and semi-loonie Lewis has managed to wriggle out of professional sanction, except in 2018, when the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal fined and censured him for having tweeted violently-abusive things on social media.
Even then, supportive Jews stumped up, via a crowdfunder, the £12,500 penalty (being a fine plus costs). Lewis’s fine itself (£2,500) had been reduced by two-thirds because he had effectively no money. His own Counsel said to the Tribunal that Lewis had not only been affected mentally by his (prescription) drug intake, but that “his only assets” consisted of his own clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week.
Lewis’s honesty, as well as his competence, has been in question for many many years.

In the Wilson case, should the recent defendant, Cantor, wish to have reduced his liability for the costs of the successful Claimant (Wilson), he has (it seems) little choice but to go after Lewis. Should Lewis have no or not sufficient means to satisfy the costs, then I suppose that Cantor’s remedy would be, in principle, to go after Lewis’s legal partners in the law firm to which he is now attached, Patron Law.
It will be interesting to see what eventually happens. Unfortunately, the costs will be less than they normally would be (had solicitors and Counsel represented the Claimant); it seems that Wilson represented himself much of the time.
Still, Cantor and maybe Wilson can both complain to the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority. I hope they both will.

“Israel has shut down a live video broadcast by the Associated Press of Gaza, where journalists are barred from entering.
Israel claims that this broadcast was used by Al Jazeera after the medium was banned in Israel, and that it was used by Hamas for military planning.
Since the start of the war, international journalists have come under increased scrutiny from the Israeli government for reporting on the conflict and have faced increasing restrictions on their activities, drawing condemnation from the United Nations and media freedom groups.“

Gove is a complete puppet of the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, and has been for many years, even long predating his time as MP and then government minister. A drug abuser, a shambling drunk, an expenses cheat/fraudster, and more besides.

Reform UK hasn’t even reached 20% of the vote yet and I doubt they ever will. That will be due to several factors amongst many. One will be they engage in nutty conspiracy theories about climate change only found in gormess Tory rags like the Daily Mail and the once respectable but not now Daily Telegraph and are too libertarian in their outlook generally but particularly so with regard to economics.
Most people in most full democracies and semi-democratic states like Britain are centrist or lean slightly towards the Left on the economy. People want well-funded, efficient and competent public services ect and if that needs high taxes to pay for them then so be it. For a party to be popular in Europe nowadays it should be centrist or lean slightly to the Left on the economy whilst being ‘Right-wing’/Nationalist on social issues like immigration, law and order, and reject ‘woke’ PC values.
The Green Party isn’t fulfilling its potential either. To do so they need to adopt a hardline anti-immigration/anti fake ‘asylum seekers’ position. The Greens are too ‘woke’ for a lot of people. If there are any socially conservative/anti-immigration Greens they should break away and form an anti-immigration and less socially liberal Green Party.
Environmental concerns should be found on all parts of the political spectrum not just ‘The Left/Liberal-Left’.

My assumption for the past 6-12 months has been that Reform UK will certainly get to 10%, maybe to 15%, but that 20% could not be totally ruled out, depending on last-minute factors (eg Farage re-assuming the leadership, which would supposedly attract more voters, though the very idea has me shaking my head). I think that the actual Reform UK vote will be 10%-15%, maybe closer to 10%, but that is, of course, a guess.

According to the latest polling, they have declined to an average nearer to 10% rather than 15%. Dropping the climate change is all a massive con/conspiracy stuff a la The Daily Telegraph whilst moving to a more hardline national-conservative/nationalist position on immigration/asylum and adopting tougher law and order policies like Germany’s Afd party should improve their score to 15% or thereabouts.
The Tory record on immigration control since 2010 and on law and order is a diabolical national disgrace and should provide plenty of opportunity to pick-up votes for them if they can articulate some good policies to improve matters.

I doubt Farage will become the leader. Being the publicity seeking ‘rent a gob’ fraud that he is he won’t give up his lucrative media jobs. MI5 won’t allow him to do it either. They want him right where he is now ie pontificating about Britain’s myriad of problems and incessant national decline whilst not doing anything constructive about it such as leading a real alternative party of opposition to the PC globalist open borders supporting Establishment parties as Germany’s Afd is doing.
Farage is a good, little Tory. They won’t offer him a job if he helps to ensure an extinction level crushing in the forthcoming general election.

I don’t think many view Reform UK as a decent alternative to the globalist hate Britain and the British Lib/Lab/Con party. Instead, many are using them as a kind of battering ram against the fake Conservative Party so they pay a heavy price for their numerous betrayals of our country and its native people.

I think that you are right. That is corroborated, surely, by polls showing that hardly any *intending Reform UK voters* think that it will win any seats. What voting Reform UK *will* do, though, is send a message, and give the Indian money-juggler and his crew an historic kicking.

I agree with you and John. Take the case of Milei here in Argentina, most people did not vote FOR him but AGAINST the hated, ultra-corrupt and “woke” Peronist party. Something similar will occur in GB, which is fully understandable. The vile Tory regime mirrors the equally vile regime of the Kirchner family in Argentina (14 years)

I think most people are not ideological when it comes to economic policies. They are pragmatic and just want to see policies which will work for the country so if that means various ones are adopted from ‘Right-wing’ economic theories or ‘Left-wing’ sources then so be it.

Hello: Regarding the Wilson = Mark Lewis affair I can only say “What a tangled web we have weaved” (LOL) The fact that a dishonest and incompetent bastard like Lewis has not been disbarred or expelled (I do not know if he is a solicitor o a barrister) says a lot about the state of the English legal system.
BTW, while I was looking for the difference between a solicitor and a barrister (which I forgot) I found this interesting fragment in the website of an English law firm:
The usual education required of a solicitor includes either a qualifying law degree or both a degree in a different suitable subject and a Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL), awarded by examination. Both are followed by a postgraduate Legal Practice Course, a two-year period of recognized training (also called the training contract), and a Professional Skills Course.
In addition, prospective solicitors must pass a test of character and suitability by declaring that they have not engaged in any potentially disqualifying behaviour, such as criminal offences, unethical professional conduct, or financial mismanagement.
The second paragraph sounds ironic/ridiculous considering that most solicitors engage in those activities AFTER obtaining their law degree. The fact that you were (unlawfully) disbarred when you did NOTHING wrong or unlawful, while hundreds of solicitors (and MPs) commit all kinds of criminal offences is infuriating and shows what a joke the British legal system is.
OK, rant over!

Lewis is (as yet) a solicitor.
The training for solicitors and barristers has on both sides common elements, but there are differences (I am talking about when I was becoming a barrister, in the late 1980s/early 1990s; there have been some changes in the training regime). For example, solicitors have to pass (or used to, at least) an exam in basic accounting; barristers do not do that (not when I was current, anyway).

Considering that I dislike anything to do with numbers I would rather train to become a barrister than a solicitor. Having said that, now that I learned that although solicitors and barristers are both legal advisors, because of the differences between them (basically the barrister represents his clients in Court) I suppose their fees must not be equal. Am I right?

How long is a piece of string? There are —relatively few— barristers who make a million pounds a year; a tiny handful (not more than half a dozen, mostly Jews) are making, I believe, as much as £5M a year. There are barristers who make as little as £20,000 a year. Likewise, there are solicitors (equity partners in the City of London financial district) who make millions annually, but also others, doing criminal and family law in small provincial towns, who make very modest earnings, maybe £30,000 in some cases.
In a particular civil trial, the barrister gets a fee for preparation, conferences, and the first day; he/she then gets “refreshers” for every succeeding day.
I cannot remember how much I was paid for the last trial I did (in December 2007), but the one a couple of weeks before that carried a brief fee of £5,000 for a weekend of preparation (I got the brief on Friday) and for my appearance on the first day (Monday); refreshers were, I think, going to be £1,500 per day for an expected 3 days, but I did not get any, because the matter settled at Court on the morning of the first day (the other side gave in, basically).
Now I *do* remember that the costs of the solicitor on my side who was attending that trial were listed as £1,000 per day, but that would not have included any “disbursements” (expenses etc) that he had to lay out, and no preparation of the brief for me, which added up to tens of thousands in all (cannot remember those costs, after 17 years…). The £1,000 a day was purely for him to be at the Court each day. As I said, though, there was only one day, in the end.
As I say, that trial was 17 years ago. Obviously there would be a considerable uplift of the level of fees in 2024. It seems that inevitable things include death, taxes…and inflation.

The people of the Surrey Heath constituency really do need to get rid of Michael Gove at the next election. He is such a Zionist fanatic and Israel Firster that not many can compete with him even in our degraded politics with my former MP, Lord Pickles, and Keir Starmer being amongst his few rivals.
Vote for a decent independent, the Lib Dem who probably has the best chance of unseating him or even the Labour candidate but just dump him. The only decent thing about Gove is that he is at least one of the few native Britons in the upper echelons of the globalist liberal/libertarian Conservative Party.
