Free speech, freedom of expression
At present, people are not only being prosecuted for “offences” of having allegedly published “unpleasant” comments but also for having published serious comment relating to important social and political (and historical) matters inconvenient to certain groups, especially the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. I should know. I myself have been victimized, for about 12 -13 years, by the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel lobby. What infuriates that lobby the most is that I refuse to be a victim. I continue to stand up for right, justice, and truth.
The articles below are presented in chronological order, from 2017 through to 2024.
The detail can be read, in part, in those articles but, overall, the anti-free speech campaign against me (and many others) has been spearheaded since 2014 by the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, which has relatively few active supporters, even in the UK Jewish “community”, yet presents itself as if in a leadership role. Jewish and/or pro-Israel employees of TV and radio stations make sure that the tiny handful of “CAA” spokespersons are given airtime, while unethical scribblers quote the “CAA” types in a few of the newspapers.
In reality, the “CAA” consists of a small handful of more or less full-time activists, and a larger but still very small number of supporters (some of which are plainly deranged).
Well, there it is. So far, the Jew-Zionists (the “CAA” and also “UKLFI”— “UK Lawyers for Israel”) have managed to have me disbarred (albeit 8 years after I had completely ceased work as a barrister), have me removed from Twitter (in 2018; pre-Elon Musk), have had the police telephone me and/or turn up at the door of my now-humble home several times over the past decade, and have had me subjected 2-3 times to “voluntary” (really, involuntary) police interviews.
The “lobby” has also now (in 2023; sentence in 2024) procured my prosecution and conviction under the “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (despite that Act having been recommended for repeal by the Law Commission).
Naturally, I pleaded Not Guilty (as I always would, were any other attempt to be made) and nearly succeeded, but was found guilty (on very dubious grounds), which resulted (a few months later) in my being sentenced to a 9-month “community order” (i.e. akin to the old “probation”) and which turned out to consist of half a dozen or so short chats —lasting 30 to 120 mins— with a rather charming young probation lady, and also a financial penalty (mainly notional court costs) amounting to £734 (over a third of which was paid by a few generous people who gave to a crowdfunder I set up on GiveSendGo).
I might have succeeded on appeal, but decided that the gamble was not worth the extra trouble and expense, on that occasion.
I was sentenced in mid-March 2024. My “probation” period lasted officially until December 2024 but in reality finished in early September 2024.
Still, I remain politically active in terms of comment, and the blog has been published uninterruptedly right through all that process and nonsense. Almost daily.
Any further attempts to prosecute me or to close down the blog will be met with the same resistance and contempt.
We shall see what transpires. “It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings” (at Wessex CPS, aka the “Clown” Prosecution Service, or generally).
Incidentally, quite a few of those who have tried to persecute me over the years have fallen victim to various medical conditions, or other dispensations of Fate; some have died.

The name George Foulkes struck a faint chord, so I looked it up.
Turns out that George Foulkes was born in Shropshire in 1942, was educated partly privately, and was awarded a degree in psychology from Edinburgh in or about 1963-64, after which he apparently managed to avoid having to work in any job or profession (unless you include being f/t President of the Scottish Union of Students and then a local councillor) until elected as Labour MP in 1979 (he tried to become an MP in both 1970 and 1974 but failed).
Foulkes’ time as an MP was undistinguished. He tried to have Space Invaders and similar games banned in 1981 in case they caused “deviancy“, and introduced a few other private members bills which also got nowhere. He served on a few committees, for which he presumably received more money and/or expenses.
Foulkes was appointed a Labour shadow minister in 1992, but was forced to resign in 1993, having assaulted a policeman while drunk (and disorderly).
Foulkes, as both MP and peer, has belonged to a number of Commons committees dealing with the Caribbean, and thereby has received a large number of freebie trips (in effect, holidays) to the Caribbean.
Foulkes —naturally— tore the **** out of his expenses as an MP and, after having been elevated to the Lords, did the same as a peer. Wikipedia notes that his claimed “expenses” as “Lord” Foulkes during the financial year 2007-2008 alone amounted to nearly £55,000, worth about £100,000 in the money of 2025. He was also one of those Labour “parliamentarians” who tried to suppress exposure of his own and all other expenses claims.
Foulkes also “served” (and was well-paid) as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) during 2007-2011. No doubt he claimed plenty of expenses that way too.
The bastard also belongs to Labour Friends of Israel (what a surprise…). He favoured the invasion of Iraq. He was part of the anti-Corbyn caucus in Labour, needless to add.
So there it is. What a useless person, sadly typical of so many careerist, moneygrubbing, System-party politicians. “Dirty democratic politicians“, as Hitler called the Weimar Republic equivalent. These days, the word “democratic” might as well be omitted, of course.
Foulkes really should not be tweeting about honesty, integrity, and humanity…

Sadly, Australia, where I lived and went to school for three years in the late 1960s, seems to have been making the same mistakes (promoted by the same or similar malicious groups…) as the UK and much of Europe. Plainly put, importing useless blacks and browns, and others such as Chinese. What a pity. So unnecessary and destructive.
For those unaware, Russian Orthodox Christmas is a couple of weeks behind because the Russian Orthodox Church (though not the rest of Russia) uses the Julian Calendar rather than the Gregorian. Thus, in Russia, Christmas Day is tomorrow, the 7th of January 2025.

“Why are we importing hundreds of thousands of people into Australia from cultures which are completely at odds with our own?”
Because the corrupt traitor politicians are controlled by the (((REDACTEDS))), and the (((REDACTEDS))) want to genocide all White people.
Is this Senator Babet a real Australian senator? If so, it is good that the Australians have a Pro-White voice in their senate.
Regarding the muslims raping White girls and women in Australia: that was the cause of the 2005 Cronulla protests, when White people protested because they were angry about the rapes (and angry about the authorities turning a blind eye to the rapes).
The police, who couldn’t be bothered to investigate and arrest the rapists, were suddenly VERY enthusiastic about violently crushing the White people who were standing up for the safety of White women and girls.
I remember seeing footage of the Australian police savagely and viciously beating the White protestors.
Basically the same as the British police: very cowardly when dealing with muslims and other diversity and can’t be bothered to investigate White girls being raped, but when White people are standing up for White safety, suddenly the police magically become VERY enthusiastic about beating up and arresting people.
The police in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, etc are traitors who are loyal to the corrupt politicians who pay them. And we know (((who))) controls the corrupt politicians.
Fortunately, here in America we have around 18,000 police departments, so the (((REDACTEDS))) haven’t (yet) been able to fully corrupt and control the police in the same way (((they))) have done in most other Western countries.
But undoubtedly (((they))) are working on it.

So ‘Sir’ Keir ‘Two Tier’ Starmer is, once again, demonstrating his support for EVIL and moral depravity! Well, I am not shocked! Do bears tend to defecate in the woods and is the Pope a Roman Catholic? He always does do that. As a so-called ‘human rights lawyer’ he supported the criminal paedophilia of Jimmy Saville, mainly Muslim gang rapists and the undoubted evil of the Zionist regime in Tel Aviv when they cut-off the most essential means of human life itself ie water to the oppressed Palestinians.
Starmer is a cold, calculating, immoral, profoundly undemocratic and depraved piece of work. No one with any real sense of moral values should vote or support him in anyway.

Like Bliar (no wonder they are great personal friends and close political allies) but without Bliar’s charisma which sadly fooled too many morons in this country into voting for him in 1997 which I never did since I could see Bliar was an evil and dodgy character when he became Labour leader in 1994. I saw him coming and made an accurate assessment of his character then. I an normally able to do this with most of the people I have met.
Starmer creeps me out. It must be his tendency to stare rather vacantly into the distance with that cold and expressionless look like some Communist Party functionary in the old Soviet Union in the 1960’s and 1970’s would have done and which is depicted in some media photographs and representations of Starmer that they use to illustrate stories with.

Corbyn was better than Starmer. He was, of course, wrong on a lot of issues but at least with Corbyn you could have a debate with him as he was sincere and principled in his beliefs but you can not do that with Starmer. Like Bliar, he is a globalist/Zionist media endorsed puppet who has no sincere principles other than getting into power for the sake of it, staying there and advancing his own perceived self interests. Duplicitous, constantly lying, principleless, virulently anti-British scum in other words. It should come as no surprise he is a former lawyer just as Bliar was. Many lawyers are complete pondlife and a large percentage are responsible for this country’s horrific state. This country would be better off with far fewer of them around.
No wonder Starmer is so rattled by a couple of tweets by Elon Musk when he has no principles and is just a self-serving, constantly lying ‘human rights lawyer’ pondlife specimen. As Elon’s dad says, no one has to read his son’s tweets let alone get so uptight about them.

That might be because evil people tend to have forceful personalities such as your average James Bond villan but Starmer appears to have had a personalty by-pass at birth so the evilness only becomes apparent later.

Well, at least that Reform Party MP has got that right. We should have a Freedom of Speech Act introduced abolishing all the increasingly absurd restrictions on freedom of speech we have seen introduced in this country since Mrs Thatcher’s infamous and ill considered Public Order Act 1986 which first started off the cult of PC and began ‘cancel culture’. There is only one legitimate restriction on free speech ie encouraging the use of immediate violence against a person.

Yes. Free speech should be absolute on social, political, and historical topics (in terms of criminal sanctions). The civil laws of defamation are enough to protect the reputation of individuals.
Direct threats are another matter, but general “threats” or “joke-violent” remarks, in such form as “Starmer should be shot” or “the proposed ‘holocaust’ propaganda centre at Westminster should be bulldozed”, are not really threats at all but expressions of hyperbolic protest-opinion.
Even an apparent *direct* or near-direct “threat” may in reality not be one.
You may recall the famous “Doncaster Airport case”, quite a few years ago, where a man sent some friend a “joke” text to the effect that he was so frustrated by the boxticking delays at that airport that he was going to blow it up. He was then arrested, ludicrously, as a suspected terrorist, and eventually charged with a lesser offence, found guilty (incredibly), and had to fund an appeal before he was cleared (supported by various well-known comedians etc).
Sadly, the UK police these days seem to have little common sense.

Ironically, by passing that stupid law, Thatcher created the ‘cancel culture’ and PC cult we suffer from today and this has undoubtedly rebounded upon her party which has meant that when they make even the tiniest move into ‘Right-wing’ territory such as appearing to oppose the wilder aspects of ‘gender ideology’ they are shouted down immediately. Restricting freedom of speech and free thought helps the Left ONLY. You should never concede freedom of speech and thought to the Left as they will only use this process of diminishing it against you.

As one of our more sensible judges put it, “freedom to be uncontentious or uncontroversial is not a freedom worth having”.
How utterly absurd and downright evil and perverse is it that we have seen some people recently who have been jailed for longer than some drug dealers for writing controversial things on Twitter/X and Facebook? This total lunacy brings the law and the police into disrepute which is profoundly dangerous. I happen to think drug dealers do REAL harm to drug abusers and entire communties rather than people who write contentious opinions on Twitter/X and other social media platforms.
