Appalling miscarriages of justice

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66928735

Each year, thousands of people in England and Wales are accused of crimes for which they are later acquitted. While their names may be cleared, they are often left emotionally and financially devastated – as Brian Buckle, who was wrongfully convicted of sexually abusing a child, discovered first-hand.

Rebecca Whitehurst, 47, from Greater Manchester had to find tens of thousands of pounds to pay for her defence after a pupil at the school where she taught made claims that they had engaged in sexual activity and exchanged inappropriate messages.

“Financially, it’s been the best part of £50,000,” she says. Rebecca adds that after she was found not guilty, she was awarded costs – but at the legal aid rate, which is much lower than the expense of instructing a defence barrister privately.

[BBC]

Acquitted (in the first case noted above, only after 5+ years in prison, a successful appeal, and then a retrial), but left £50,000-£500,000 out of pocket.

All because Chris Grayling, a stupid arrogant man made a Cabinet minister by David Cameron-Levita, made stupid decisions which have even now not been corrected (though due to be, belatedly, corrected in 2026, apparently).

Not only has Grayling not been punished, he now sits in the House of Lords! Rewards for failure, yet again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Grayling.

Starmer-Labour

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14250615/Keir-Starmer-No-10-poll-predicts-verdict.html

Sir Keir Starmer will be ousted as Prime Minister within a year, an exclusive poll for The Mail on Sunday has predicted – with furious voters attacking his poor handling of the economy, the NHS, immigration and the cost-of-living crisis.

Nearly a third of all Britons polled in the ‘state of the nation’ survey expect the Labour leader to last another year at most, with more than two thirds (68 per cent) saying he is doing ‘badly’, just six months into the job.

And in news that will worry both Labour and the Conservatives, one in five voters thinks that Nigel Farage will be Britain’s next Prime Minister.

Last night, one Labour MP said privately: ‘If this poll doesn’t ring alarm bells in No10, then we really are doomed.

‘Sadly, it confirms what I and other Labour colleagues are now finding on the doorstep.

‘There never was much support for Keir. But after a catalogue of blunders – from scrapping winter fuel payments to hiking taxes – what little support there was for the Prime Minister has collapsed‘.

The exclusive Deltapoll survey reveals that 69 per cent think the country is heading in the wrong direction, with the cost-of-living crisis and the state of the NHS topping the list of concerns.

“Labour” is dead, the “Conservative” Party is dead, but the only straw at which the electorate can clutch is the very underwhelming Reform UK. Still, “all roads lead to Rome”…at least the System is crumbling, and the “Overton Window” moving.

Covid scamdemic/panicdemic “vaccine” dangers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14136613/disabled-diagnosed-cancer-Covid-vaccine-heartbreaking-experiences.html

Patients whose health has been ravaged after taking Covid-19 vaccines are calling for more support as the Government faces paying out tens of millions of pounds in damages.

Almost 17,000 claims for disability damages have now been submitted after new information emerged about the potential risks including blood clots.

...more people are coming forward to report that have suffered a severe impact, with some linking their vaccines to major problems such as blood cancer, myasthenia gravis and heart disorders.

Almost all of these payments were related to the AstraZeneca vaccine Vaxrevia which triggered a blood clotting complication so rare it was missed in original clinical trials.

That vaccine was once heralded as a ‘triumph for British science’ but came under increasing scrutiny for a very rare complication that causes blood clots and low blood platelet counts.

The jab, developed with Oxford University, can no longer be used in the European Union after AstraZeneca voluntarily withdrew its ‘marketing authorisation’ in May this year.

AstraZeneca’s withdrawal comes months after admitting in legal documents its jab can cause thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), also known as VITT.

[Daily Mail]

I have myself seen examples, though I did not, of course, allow myself to be fooled into taking any of the System’s “vaccine” injections.

Talking point

Look at that. It is admitted that 3.6M or more immigrants have arrived even since “free movement” within the EU ended! That was in December 2020, so that number have arrived in only 4 years! In rough terms, a million a year. Unsustainable. Catastrophic.

“Net” immigration “only 2.3M (or more, in fact more) in about the same time period, but what that means, mainly, is that about 100,000-200,000 (real) British have left every year, trying to get to places such as Australia or New Zealand, or retiring to Spain and other countries. Also, many of the more useful/skilled EU nationals have left.

Incidentally, those Brits going overseas are mostly either genuinely skilled or qualified persons, or have capital and intend to open small businesses, or (and/or) are retirees, who bring money into the countries where they settle, and mostly do not constitute a drain on resources. Quite different to most of the migrant-invaders coming to the UK, who are mostly poor, unqualified, unskilled, and who are a huge drain on resources of every kind, from shelter and housing, through education, hospitals and GP services, to police services (many migrants are petty or not so petty criminals) etc; all that and right through to alien hostiles who may be terroristic.

As to Brexit as a whole, it was deliberately sabotaged.

Former Tory adviser“? Good grief. Just look at him. Just listen to him…

However much Labour is now already hated under Starmer, and despite the inherent absurdity of the “two main parties” binary political fix in England, I really cannot see the “Conservative” Party regaining much if any of its one-time support-level; in fact, I can see it declining further.

That, in turn, may give the uninspiring fake nationalism of Reform UK wings, despite the unexciting nature of most if not all of its 5 present MPs. It may be regarded by many angry/disenchanted voters as the only (protest) game in town.

Very much to the point in contemporary Britain.

  1. Jenrick’s statements about immigration should be seen for what they are: a manipulative attempt by Jenrick to resurrect his failing political career by pretending to be a patriot.

    Remember, Jenrick is the guy who wants to erect (((REDACTED))) stars at every entrance to the UK, and supports the hideous triumphalist “holocaust” memorial that Starmer is building next to parliament.

    The Tories have form for putting forward fake-patriot leaders whenever a challenge from the right emerges.

    In the late 1970s, the National Front was the 4th largest political party in terms of membership. Many British patriots were disgusted and fed up with Edward Heath and his government, and refused to vote for the Tories as long as Heath was leader. In the 1974 elections, many disaffected patriots stayed home, which resulted in Heath losing.

    The Tories seemed on the verge of losing many of their voters to the rising National Front.

    So, what did the Tories do? To deceive their voters into continuing to vote for the Tory Party instead of supporting the National Front, the Tories put forward the notorious fake-patriot Margaret Thatcher.

    Millions of patriotic British voters, deceived by Thatcher’s fake patriotism, continued to vote for the Tories, and the National Front, which was on the rise in the late 1970s, sank into irrelevance, with their thunder stolen by the fake-patriot Thatcher.

    The British patriots who voted for Thatcher undoubtedly hoped and expected that she would stop immigration.

    But alas, Thatcher betrayed her voters, and instead of an end to immigration, the voters got a “hate speech” ban, the rise of “greed is good” corporate capitalism, globalization, outsourcing of jobs, mass privatization of public assets, and the deregulation of the finance industry, which allowed the entire British economy and government to be captured by the (((banks))) and (((hedge funds))).

    Thatcher and her Blairite successors are the ones responsible for turning the UK from a country into a identity-less babylon-style economic zone which exists merely to serve the interests of (((international finance))).

    British patriot voters should learn from what happened in the 1970s: instead of supporting the truly patriotic National Front, most British patriots were deceived into voting for Thatcher’s fake-patriot Tories, and instead of an end to immigration, Thatcher betrayed her voters and implemented the horrors described above.

    The same will happen if British patriots are duped into voting for Badenoch or Jenrick or Patel or whomever the Tories put up as their next leader.

    Jenrick et al will talk about reducing immigration, and then as soon as the Tories win, immigration will be increased higher than ever, while Jenrick busily erects triumphalist (((REDACTED))) stars at every entrance to the UK.

      Of course. Jenrick is a complete fake. Also, a rather unpleasant little bastard. He is, however, of course right about the importation of backward peoples from Asia and Africa (etc).

      1. Jenrick if he is wise should keep his powder dry for a moment. Kemi is already failing badly as was to be expected when she has only been an MP since 2017 and was gifted a safe seat anyway. Jenrick should launch his leadership campaign when Kemi loses her first by-election to Reform UK or the Liberal Democrats as I think is a distinct possibility.

    2. Excellent analysis. The only British political group worth supporting is PATRIOTIC ALTERNATIVE, full stop. It does not matter that they may never get recognised as a proper political party; after all, elections are a sham and should PA reach a massive number of votes it would be banned. However, looking at long term results their activism is praiseworthy and eventually will pay off (I hope so)

      1. Claudius, well said! Patriotic Alternative is an excellent organization!

        I have been following their activities for a while, and I am very impressed with their Pro-White grassroots activism, their efforts to uplift the spirits of working class Whites, their advocacy for Pro-White education, etc.

        They even have a Pro-White curriculum for children on their website. Very wholesome.

        https://www.patrioticalternative.org.uk/alternative_curriculum
        https://www.patrioticalternative.org.uk/educational_videos

        It is very clear that the members of Patriotic Alternative genuinely care about White people and the White race.

        Another very good organization is Alek Yerbury’s National Support Detachment.

        Yerbury also leads a new organization called the National Rebirth Party:

        https://x.com/Natrebirthparty?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor
        Yerbury is a very charismatic speaker. In the right political environment, he could go far.

Unlike Farage & Co. they are real patriots fully dedicated to the welfare and greatness of their country. Mark Collett produced a lot of excellent videos on YT until his channel was shut down, you still can watch them on odysee.com

    3. Mrs Thatcher was the last Tory leader and British PM who took the subject of immigration remotely seriously. Her governments were not perfect on the subject but the numbers coming in were controlled to a far greater extent than under that evil anti-British bastard, Bliar, and the loony PC globalist sick joke of Cameron. I would much rather have Thatcher in power today than the cretin that is Starmer or that complete nonentity in charge of the fake Conservative Party now.

    4. The unions also helped to destroy manufacturing along with Thatcher’s zeal for monetarism and globalist neo liberal economics but lefties will not admit that. Labour was in power for much of the 1960’s and 1970’s and allowed the unions to become too strong and didn’t do anything to deal with the Marxist infiltration of them. Also, of course, Labour under Foot or Kinnock could have easily defeated Thatcher’s Tories by simply agreeing to forge an anti-Tory coalition with the Liberal/SDP Alliance which would have won in 1983 or 1987. Mrs Thatcher’s Tories never got 50% of the vote or more.. All they had to do was to become a truly democratic party and agree with the Liberal/SDP aim of introducing Proportional Representation/fair votes but Labour bums on seats in the House of Commons for their timeservers was more important than saving the jobs of the communities Labour MPs are supposed to represent.

  2. Hello Ian: Please, look at this video, at least from the very beginning up to 12.20. This man (Paul Thorpe) is a good fellow but very naive since he thinks that race does not matter and someone who is not White could still be British. HOWEVER, he has a very considerable following on YT (267.000 people) and therefore he can be quite influential.

    The main thing is that he (a former supporter of Reform) has denounced Farage as “an egotistical maniac” and “a back-stabber” for throwing Tommy Robinson under the bus. Do not get me wrong, I do not like the path that Rommy Robinson has chosen, but his action against the Muslim raping gangs was sincere and cost him a lot, compared with Farage (a f… coward and a hypocrite) he is almost a hero.

    I believe, and hope, that Farage´s pathetic and desperate attempt to distanciate himself from Tommy Robinson (moved by his snobbery and desire to look “respectable”, something always very appealing the average, stupid, middle-class Briton who is more concerned with his social status than the state of his country) will result in a massive loss of supporters and bring down Reform. Let´s face it; what kind of patriotism represents Reform under Farage? It is the same rubbish as the National Assembly under Marine Le Pen.

    Reform is all about Farage, therefore it must be destroyed. It will never be a real social-national party.

      I agree, overall, re. Farage. Obviously, I am not pro-Robinson either. Both are, or pretend to be, pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby. Farage and Tice certainly are, with their worship of money.

      Having said that, Reform UK is useful in weakening and perhaps destroying the LibLabCon parties. At same time, the System is slowly absorbing Reform UK. Who is playing whom? It is “three-dimensional chess”. Through all of it, though, the current of history is running. We hope that a positive result will be manifested…

      1. Tice should go back to the Tory Party where he belongs. Farage should too really. If Reform UK is to get anywhere it needs to develop centrist economic policies whilst going further to the ‘Right’ on law and order, social policies like immigration in particular ect.

        The most successful ‘far right’ parties on the Continent combine hardline ‘Right-wing’ stances on crime, immigration ect with centrist or even slightly left-leaning economic proposals. The BNP was in that mould which is why the powers that be, the globalist media ect were so scared about its potential and why the BBC and the media promoted UKIP to steer the voters away from it.

      2. “Having said that, Reform UK is useful in weakening and perhaps destroying the LibLabCon parties.”

        Precisely. Farage is a grifting egomaniacal traitor, and his Reform Party are milquetoast civic nationalists at best.

        But currently, Farage is serving as a useful tool to destroy the Traitor Tories (although with the rapidity at which Farage is moving toward the center, there will soon be no discernible policy differences between Reform and the Traitor Tories).

        Nevertheless, I am still hoping that Farage takes lots of votes from the Tories at the next election. With Badenoch at the helm of HMS Tory, that shouldn’t be too hard.

        The Tories are currently at roughly the same position they were in after the 1997 election: they lost a lot of seats, but are still the Official Opposition and the second biggest party, and thus can still rebound like they did under (((Cameron))).

        Of course, a resurgent Tory Party would be a disaster, because it will steal the thunder from a true social-nationalist party, just like the fake-patriot Thatcher stole the National Front’s thunder in the 1970s.

        That is where Farage is useful to us: he can take enough votes from the Tories to prevent them from rebounding, and hopefully cause them to lose even more seats.

        Once the Tories are finished as a major political party, their voters will be freed from their mindless loyalty to the Tory Party, and will look for new parties to support.

        And that will be the opportunity for a true social-national party to gain support.

    2. Tommy Robinson is very wrong to try and ingratiate himself with the Zionist Pro Israel fanatic crowd and those self-centered and selfish bastards won’t return the favour but he has been of some worth in trying to get the country and the authorities to notice the appalling gang rape problem and that of Islamism more generally. At times he has used not too agreeable and respectable ways of doing this but his heart is in the right place.

      He has certainly highlighted these issues more than anti-EU obsessive Farage has and for that he should be praised.

No wonder the so-called Conservatives are a utterly pathetic shadow of what they once were when even Thatcher was leader let alone real, traditional Tories such as when Neville Chamberlain or Stanley Baldwin were heading it when they have advisors like him. What would he know about what the average Briton thinks? Is it not about time the Conservative Party stopped boring the country with its continued existence as they clearly have not got the faintest idea as to why they suffered the worst defeat since 1906 in July last year.

  4. Even though Starmer and his muppets are despised already according to the latest poll the fake Conservatives are not benefitting from that. The Tories are on just 23% of the vote ie fractionally lower than the 24% the Indian money-juggler managed to get in July last year. Labour now has a 7% lead which is just 3% smaller that the election. It looks like electing the trans obsessive, Kemi, is not working!
