Well, a poor week. I scored only 3/10, the same as political journalist John Rentoul. I only knew, for sure, the answers to questions 3, 8, and 9. I also came close (was unsure) on questions 2, 6, and 7.

Where is “Israel” though? Is it in the Middle East (only), or is it based as much in the USA, UK, France and around the world, but under cover?

The possible/probable all-out war, if and when it happens, will be very negative for all the people of the region.

One silver lining, though, is that, while US attention is focussed on the Middle East, Russian forces can continue to degrade the infrastructure of the Kiev regime, and press forward in Donetsk and elsewhere within the Ukrainian/Russian theatre.

In 1947 Israel tried to kill President Truman.

In 1954 Israel bombed American interests in Egypt and tried framing the Muslim Brotherhood.

In 1965 Israel started stealing American nuclear materials.

In 1967 Israel bombed the USS Liberty killing 34 US servicemen .

In 2012 the Snowden documents showed that Israel was America’s top spy threat.

In 2017 an Israeli spy ring was uncovered in Washington DC.

Does this sound like our greatest ally to you?”

All that, and economic exploitation of the American people, destruction of European culture in the USA, control of the American mass media, and the suborning of almost all Congressmen and Senators.

Goodwin using the long-outdated “left”/”right” shorthand.

Goodwin, though worth reading, is yet part of the “controlled opposition”, like Farage, Reform UK etc. The “JQ” is key. Anyone who supports Israel and/or the Israel lobby (“Zionist lobby”, Jewish lobby) is suspect, automatically.

Synchronicity?

That is like something out of the famous book The Morning of the Magicians [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morning_of_the_Magicians].

The infamous quotation of the once-notorious though now-forgotten Jewish fraud Bernie Cornfeld [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Cornfeld] comes to mind:

If you sincerely want to be rich, don’t horse around with steel or light globes— work directly with money.” So typical…

Few now remember Cornfeld, or his vehicle, Investors’ Overseas Services, but it had a high profile in the late 1960s and very early 1970s. I myself recall seeing ads for it in the Daily Telegraph colour magazine in, I think, 1970.

Incidentally, those British newspapers’ colour magazines of the early 1970s were on a different level of quality vis a vis the weekend supplements seen today; that applied especially to the Daily Telegraph one, which I think came out on Fridays. Real reportage on matters of importance and/or interest, not recipes, makeup, gossip, chick-lit and similar rubbish.

While I do not agree with everything posted by that tweeter, David R. Morgan, his Twitter/X account is well worth a look and, for those with Twitter/X accounts (I myself was expelled in 2018 after a Jew-Zionist contrived mass-complaint, and I cannot be bothered to retrieve my lost account), well worth following.

Argentina

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/27/poverty-rate-argentina-milei

Argentina’s poverty rate has soared to almost 53% in the first six months of Javier Milei’s presidency, offering the first hard evidence of how the far-right libertarian’s tough austerity measures are hitting the population.

Since taking office in December, the self-described “anarcho-capitalist” – who campaigned with a chainsaw in hand to symbolise the cuts he would make – has slashed public spending in an effort to tame chronic inflation and eliminate the budget deficit.

His administration has frozen pensions, reduced aid to soup kitchens, cut welfare programmes and stopped all public works projects. Tens of thousands of public employees have been fired, reduced energy and transportation subsidies have pushed costs up, and purchasing power has eroded.

Kirsten Sehnbruch, an expert on Latin America at the London School of Economics and Political Science, said she had never seen such a large jump in poverty rates. “This new economic programme is not protecting the poor,” she said. “The jump is absolutely horrendous.”

Milei’s cuts, however, have been cheered by markets, investors and the International Monetary Fund, to which Argentina owes $43bn. Monthly inflation has also decreased from about 26% in December to about 4% in June, where it has remained, although annual inflation still remains one of the highest in the world, exceeding 230%.

María Claudia Albornoz, a community worker from Santa Fe, said the government had “provoked a situation of desperation”. “We are feeling it in the fridge, empty and unplugged. Money is really worth absolutely nothing. We have three jobs and it is not enough,” she said.

While Milei’s popularity ratings have remained high, public support now appears to be waning. A survey published on Monday found a drop of almost 15% in September, the steepest fall during his nine-month administration. Recent polls have found that worries about inflation have been overtaken by fears of job loss and poverty.

Christopher Sabatini, a senior fellow for Latin America at Chatham House, said that economic decline was inevitable when controlling inflation, and pointed to similar historic crises in Brazil and Bolivia, but questioned whether Milei’s changes will work.

For a county that has historically prided itself on being a middle-class nation, this poverty rate is terribly painful,” Sabatini said.

Border Force agents found the pair wedged in the boot when they stopped the car in Coquelles, France, on April 16 last year. Leslie, from Birmingham, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assisting unlawful immigration into the UK.

When questioned, he refused to offer any explanation as to why the woman and girl were in his car, the Home Office said.

Leslie was jailed for three years at Canterbury Crown Court On Thursday, September 26, having pleaded guilty.

Farage is, of course, a major aspect of the “controlled opposition” phenomenon.

Having said that, Reform UK may well have a part to play in destroying the “three main parties” scam in the UK.

The strategy of the System seems to be that, if/when the main System parties are finally binned by the voters, Reform UK will be there, under (((the usual))) control to catch the ball.

Only real social nationalism can save the UK and all Europe, but Reform UK, and the Farage-style parties on mainland Europe can, despite their origins and intentions, be a step towards what is necessary, moving the “Overton window” among the people, and that is what matters most.

“The Charity Commission has discovered that Naomi Campbell’s “anti-poverty” charity raised £4.8million but only £389K went to good causes.

I suggest she fills the hole from her personal $ 80million fortune. The commission have now banned her from running a charity for five years as they they found widespread financial misconduct.

Astonished there isn’t a police investigation.

It emerged during the inquiry that the charity paid £9,400 for Campbell to stay three nights in a five-star Cannes hotel where she was appearing in a fashion fundraiser for the charity. Surprise, surprise the charity had chosen its fashion to coincide with the city’s film festival. The stars were aligned! Further, she ran up a bill of £6,000, once again paid by the charity, on spar treatment, room service and even her cigarettes. A new low. Not even paying for her own fags.

Campbell, 54, set up Fashion for Relief in 2005 saying she had been inspired by her “ honourable mentor” Nelson Mandela. Don’t imagine Mandela wants his name linked in that way. The charity was supposed, to provide relief during humanitarian disasters. All it provided was supplying relief when you needed a packet of cigarettes.

Another trustee , a lawyer, was banned for 9 years. He had received £290,000 over two years in unauthorised consultancy fees but picked up an average £26,000 a year in expenses. All this scandal confirms is the reason many don’t contribute to charity.

Naomi Campbell has been up to her neck in all sorts of criminality for years. See, e.g. https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/08/11/the-jew-epstein-and-prince-andrew-the-british-royal-family-has-another-scandal-maybe-its-time-to-just-get-rid-of-them/.

The Epstein scandal is but one example.

As for charities, the regulation of them is far too lax, from the political and other activities of the larger charities (and the massive salaries they pay to the few at the top) to the smaller ones, some of which are outright frauds, as with the “Captain Tom” nonsense.

Of course, the egregious online “grifters”, such as “Jack Monroe”, the Jew Simon Harris (aka “Man Behaving Dadly”), the Depher UK fellow, Julia Grace Patterson, Mike Stuchbery, “Supertanskiii” are not, most of them, registered as charities anyway.

An armed camp. Arguably the closest example in modern times to ancient Sparta.

I have to admit, though, that some of those girls wear their automatic weapons (etc) rather stylishly.

…and even were there one, the puny efforts of human beings can do little to change the situation.

I was accused of being a shill again today. It is now 4 years since I started advocating pro bono on Twitter. I have had no salary or pension since. The idea I am conflicted because of financial gain is laughable. I was paid £78 through buy me a coffee until the Royal College of Pathologists put a stop to that.

That is it. <£10k per year. I have never worked harder. I can’t begin to tell you what it has all cost me. Nor can I begin to tell you what I have gained.”

Britain in 2024

I happened to see this crime report in a local newspaper: https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24606453.robber-disguised-police-officer-raided-wealthy-sandbanks-home/.

“Robber disguised as police officer raided wealthy Sandbanks home.

An armed robber who tied up and threatened to shoot the wife and daughter of a wealthy company director in their Sandbanks home has been jailed for 16 years.

Career criminal Aaron Evans and accomplice Ashley Fulton held Kerry and Emily Aitchison at gunpoint during the terrifying raid on their luxury home overlooking Poole Harbour.

After tying up Mrs Aitchison they threatened to burn Emily, 22, with an iron and then shoot her mother in front of her if she didn’t open the safe.

Brave Mrs Aitchison, 55, called the pair ‘scum of the earth’ and didn’t give them the code.

Evans and Fulton ransacked the £2.5m house before fleeing with more than £200,000 worth of luxury watches, designer handbags, jewellery and cash.

The bungling robbers made a catalogue of errors that led police to their door.”

[Bournemouth Echo]

The full report is worth reading.

What struck me most, apart from the unpleasant violence and the sheer ineptitude of the robbers, was the fact that those robbers, despite not having been able to gain access to the safe, yet escaped with over £200,000 in cash, jewels, and other items.

The report says that the husband of the lady attacked owns, via a company, 21 care homes.

There is something wrong with England, with its economy and society, when someone can own 21 care homes and profit so much that, even in his own home, he and his family have hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash and jewels loosely lying around. Plus whatever was or is in that home safe. Plus, no doubt, investments which may well amount to millions.

For me, that is an example of what a Conservative leader (Edward Heath) once called “the unacceptable face of capitalism” (though Heath was referring to a very different kind of company— Lonrho).

On a smaller scale, I once encountered another example of such profiteering.

When I was a barrister based in chambers in Exeter (2002-2008), I appeared fairly frequently, often several days a week, at Exeter County Court which, for silly ideological reasons, was planned and built without any parking available at all. People have either to walk to public car parks or find parking nearby.

I used to park at a nearby hotel, and occasionally talked to the elderly-seeming attendant. It turned out that the parking there was contracted out to the attendant’s son-in-law, who had left the Royal Marines without a penny, and had started one of those vulture clamping outfits, later getting contracts with hotels etc. As I was hearing this, a beautiful blonde drove out in a new Range-Rover. The attendant’s daughter. The wealth and display thereof had been acquired within only 2 years of car parking activity.

Britain used to make things, sell things, and have decent professions like the Bar (now mostly trashed), but not now; these days, rather unpleasant nouveaux riches “coin it” as parasites, rather than useful private enterprise people. Car parking. Care homes. Buy-to-let.

Ukraine

https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-kursk-breakthrough-russia-1957732

Ukrainian paratroopers fighting in Russia’s Kursk region have “broken through” into a new, unspecified section of the Russian border, a Ukrainian brigade said Monday as battles rage on inside Russia and various parts of eastern Ukraine.

Fighters with Ukraine’s 95th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade “have broken through a section of the Russian border,” the brigade said in a post to the messaging app Telegram.

This is the second successful operation to break through the Russian border since the start of the operation in the Kursk region of Russia,” the brigade said. The Ukrainian brigade did not specify where along the border fighters had “broken through” or when the reported operation took place.

Ukraine is more than six weeks into its surprise incursion into Kursk, which borders the country’s northeast. Kyiv said in early September that it had captured 100 settlements and around 500 square miles of territory as Moscow sluggishly attempted to fend off the advance.

In recent weeks, Western analysts have suggested that Russia has reclaimed territory south of Korenovo, which, along with the town of Sudzha to the southeast, was a focus of Ukraine’s push.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this past Friday that the offensive against Kursk had pulled approximately 40,000 Russian soldiers into the area.

[Newsweek]

I see few if any analyses in the msm as to the Kiev-regime strategic plan in relation to the Kursk incursion.

After all, Russia is not some sparsely-populated part of Africa, almost a terra nullius. It would be simply impossible, to take the thought ad absurdum, for the Kiev regime to push beyond Kursk city; and even if that were ever to happen, what then? Advance the remaining 327 miles (527 km) to Moscow? How would the Kiev regime keep its columns supplied? How could it ward off flanking attacks? Answer: it couldn’t.

Also, having (notionally) reached the Moscow region, how could a few thousands or tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops take and then control a city with an urban population of about 18M, and a metro-area population of 22M? (with many more millions in the region). Answer: they could not.

Of course, my argument is rather a straw man; the idea of the Kiev-regime forces getting even beyond the city of Kursk (and they have not even managed to get that far so far) is ridiculous. They have neither the manpower nor the resupply capability.

Incidentally, the Russian Army, overall, has an active host of about 1.5M soldiers, not including all reserves and quite-easily-mobilized others.

My main point is that Zelensky’s Kursk incursion has no strategic sense behind it. There is no point to it beyond (as I blogged when it happened, 6 weeks ago) making a public relations display to the Western states supplying the Kiev regime with money, arms, ammunition, and other materiel.

We are told that the big idea behind the Kursk incursion was to draw away Russian troops from the Donetsk front. Well, all right (and it is at least claimed that the Russians have redeployed 40,000 troops to the Kursk region, though it is unclear what proportion were from the Donetsk front), but Russian forces are still advancing strongly on the Donetsk front, even without the transferred 40,000 or however many.

As far as I can see, the Kursk incursion was strategically misconceived and achieves nothing, and would achieve nothing even were Russian troops to simply withdraw and allow the Kiev-regime forces to remain in loose occupation of the border area in that sector, or even the whole of the Kursk oblast.

Of course, Putin and his Stavka (high command) cannot do that (withdraw, in the manner of Kutuzov) because Russian public opinion would not allow it (the apparent conquest of Russian territory, unchallenged).

It is all very well to say that “Russia does not have public opinion” but even a near-autocrat such as Putin must take his people’s sensibilities into account.

The “smart move” would be to withdraw and withdraw into the Russian prostor (endless space), but that is politically impossible. The Russian forces therefore block further Kiev-regime advances in the Kursk region, while pounding the resupply route or routes to the west, inside Ukraine itself, in the border area.

On the Donetsk front, the Kiev-regime forces are falling back: https://www.slobodenpecat.mk/en/ruskata-armija-uspea-da-ja-probie-ukrainsakta-odbrana-kaj-ugledar/.

The same goes for the hundreds of millions of pounds thrown away by government on Islamic and Jewish institutions and locations.

I too expected Starmer-Labour to crash and burn fairly quickly, and said so on the blog well prior to the 2024 General Election, as well as immediately following it.

Firstly, because only 4 out of 20 people voted Labour in 2024; secondly, because Labour’s “diversity”/pro-Israel/”austerity”/pro-immigration policies are all the exact opposite of what most people want; thirdly, the sheer rock-bottom quality of most Labour MPs and ministers. Lammy is only one of many such.

Starmer and his freeloading cabal are smug inside their fake “landslide” Commons majority. They think nothing can touch them for 4 years or more. That is what the “Conservative” Party MPs thought about their own situation not so long ago.

Apres— le deluge

A lot of that is because Starmer was a barrister from age 24 (having been to university for both a first degree and a post-graduate one): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer.

As a former barrister myself (later wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred for political reasons at the behest of the Jewish lobby), I was sometimes surprised at how naive many barristers are, especially those who (unlike me) had never done any other kind of work.

Even today, when the Bar is more “diverse” (and far less prestigious) than it used to be, it remains to some extent a cloistered bubble. Starmer spent his professional life in that bubble before swapping it for another bubble, the Westminster Bubble.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer

Look at his reactions to the street protests. He immediately retreated into his comfort zone (he was DPP for several years) and started to threaten people with long sentences of imprisonment and (quite wrongly) “no bail pending trial and/or sentence”.

Even before GE 2024, I was warning about Starmer on the blog, noting Khrushchev’s view of Malenkov and about how to elevate the “file clerk type” to supreme power was always a mistake.

Starmer is isolated psychologically for a number of reasons. His professional Bar background. His years as DPP and, before that, as “human rights adviser” to the police and (I think, not sure) MI5 in Northern Ireland. His marriage to a part-Jewish woman, their children being brought up as if Jewish (despite being in fact only 1/4 Jewish), meaning that Starmer engages in all those Jewish ritual dinners and religious commemorations etc.

There is another point. Starmer has always had plenty of money, at least after his student days. He took letters patent as QC (now KC) at age 39. You are talking about an income, for much of his professional life, in the hundreds of thousands per year. Naturally, he finds it hard to understand or care about British pensioners trying to afford heating and other expenses.

I believe that I am correct in stating that Starmer and his wife also own a number (maybe 8) buy-to-let properties.

Starmer should never have become Prime Minister.

Another idiot who thinks that she is terribly clever. Another would-be dictator. Another member of Labour Friends of Israel…

In fact, Yvette Cooper was investigated by the police for fraud arising out of her expenses claims during the 2005-2010 Parliament, and was lucky to escape prosecution, along with her equally-moneygrasping husband, Ed Balls.

Yes. She held up a “refugees welcome” placard. She encouraged the migration-invasion of this country by blacks and browns (etc) from all the worst parts of the world.

I have blogged in the past about my own experiences: the UK police absolutely useless in doing what most people would regard as their headline job, but pathetically eager to do the bidding of the Jewish lobby in repressing free speech and freedom of expression by me and others.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan…

717 invaders landed yesterday, 707 the day before (etc). 1,424 in 48 hours. Each costs about £200 a day to shelter, feed, give pocket-money, provide services.

That is, in part, because the msm-trumpeted “Labour landslide” was a fake anyway— only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted Labour.

Still, one has to admit that, for a woman who got “knocked-up” at 16, and who has really no substantial educational or work background, let alone cultural depth, Angela Rayner really has hit the Lotto in terms of careerism. “Deputy Prime Minister”, no less…

As frequently blogged previously, Starmer-Labour is “Blair-Brown New Labour Mark 2” but, in Marx’s words, “first time tragedy, second time farce“…

“New Labour” did various things, implemented various policies, mostly wrongheaded in either conception or implementation, or funding, or all three, but it was at least attempting to do things, to solve perceived problems.

I always had the impression about Starmer-Labour, even before it took over the reins of power, that it merely wanted to be in government, but had no real programme (a bit like Cameron-Levita’s government).

Brainless-seeming woman, “full-time carer” and “mum of five“, attending Labour Party Conference, and loving both thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity-hire” David Lammy and the Ukrainian thug who is the current ambassador of the Kiev regime in the UK.

Military briefing: Russia ‘overwhelms’ Ukrainian forces on eastern front.”

[https://www.ft.com/content/b4baf76b-294d-496e-8e51-7ed1b8b0e6ca]

A long and interesting report from the Financial Times, from a correspondent presently in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, almost on the front-line, and the report published only 7 hours ago.

Looks as if the situation in that region of Eastern Ukraine is at a tipping point. Russian forces will soon prevail, precipitating a strategic withdrawal or even rout of Kiev-regime forces, and a huge strategic advantage for the Russian side.

Once the Kiev-regime incursion in the Kursk region of Russia, by north-eastern Ukraine, falters and fails, as seems inevitable, the Russian Stavka (high command) will be able to transfer thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of battle-hardened troops back to the Donetsk region front, thus further pressuring the Kiev-regime forces there.

One must feel sorry for those hapless Kiev-regime soldiers, sent to fight, inadequately trained, under poor field commanders and poor strategists, for the Jewish-Zionist regime in Kiev, all under cover of a fake “Ukrainian nationalism” which is merely doing the will of foreign NWO/ZOG cabals.

War is hell, of course, and in some respects becoming ever more hellish now that drones dominate the infantry battlefield, with robot tanks and robot soldiers probably not far down the line.

No dissent allowed. Young heckler grabbed by his throat by Labour goons, and hustled out, getting roughed-up a bit (even where the cameras are filming).

Actually, look at the audience. Despite much said about Labour and “youth”, most of that audience of Labour loyalists consists of grey-haired and white-haired people, especially on the tiers at the back and sides of the hall.

A pretty small audience, too, compared to the Labour conferences of the past (1970s, 1980s).

Of course, in the past, the major Labour figures had weight, and some of them (Denis Healey, Harold Wilson, Michael Foot, Roy Jenkins etc) had genuine intellectual depth. Not that I agreed with much of what they had to say, but they were not dummies, not even that old humbug and hypocrite Michael Foot.

Now look at the top Labour-label idiots! Starmer is the one-eyed man in the country of the blind, and they therefore made him “king for a day”. Angela Rayner (need one say more?). Rachel Reeves. David Lammy, that deadhead…(etc). Shockingly low-quality.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13881251/Israel-conflict-Middle-East-enemies-killing-180-Hezbollah-strikes-Lebanon.html

Israel’s ‘war on five fronts’: How Jewish state faces all-out conflict against its Middle Eastern enemies after ‘killing hundreds’ in latest Hezbollah strikes as Lebanon accuses it of carrying out an ‘extermination’.

Israel intensified the conflict in the Middle East to new levels today, killing more than 180 people in Lebanon in the latest attacks since military officials declared a ‘new phase’ of war against Hezbollah had begun last week.

On Tuesday, Mossad is thought to have orchestrated one of the most psychologically damaging clandestine attacks in recent memory, injuring thousands of Hezbollah members with exploding pagers and radios across two days.

Then on Friday, the IDF delivered a punishing strike that eliminated a top Hezbollah commander along with some 37 other militiamen and civilians, before continuing aerial bombardments over the weekend and into this morning. 

Hezbollah in 2006 reportedly had some 15,000 rockets in its arsenal, ‘but more recent unofficial estimates suggest this number has multiplied by almost 10 times,’ said Dina Arakji, associate analyst at UK-based risk consultancy firm Control Risks.

Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) corroborates that assessment, estimating that the group’s arsenal counts 150,000 to 200,000 rockets, including ‘hundreds’ of precision missiles and thousands of drones.

Hezbollah also boasts a range of anti-tank and anti-air systems, a fleet of thousands of drones, and dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles, and claims to have up to 100,000 active fighters – though INSS estimates the number is more likely 25,000 to 50,000.

And, like Hamas, Hezbollah has an extensive tunnel network along the Lebanese-Israeli border which serves as a strategic asset for clandestine movement, storage, and guerrilla warfare

While Jerusalem would assuredly emerge victorious thanks to its technological capabilities and raw numeric advantage in terms of firepower and manpower, Hezbollah would be able to inflict massive damage.

Its terrifying missile and drone arsenal is large enough to quickly overwhelm Israel’s air defences if deployed in earnest, and the thousands upon thousands of Hezbollah fighters that could stream into northern Israel would be continuously supported by well-established air and ground supply routes from its chief backer Iran via Iraq and Syria.

The Islamic Republic has thousands upon thousands of long-range and precision-guided missiles alongside hundreds of thousands of mid-range cruise missiles.

This appears to be the worst-case scenario feared by Israeli defence experts – a coordinated attack in which Iran, Hezbollah and other allies launch wave after wave of missile and drone strikes that overwhelm Israel’s air defences and devastate towns and cities. 

But many analysts say that terrifying prospect is unlikely…

…some prominent Israeli officials – including grizzled IDF veterans – warn that Jerusalem’s pursuit of further hostilities could push the Axis of Resistance a step too far. 

Itzhak Brik, a former Major General in the IDF, told the Jerusalem Post that a full-scale war with Iran and its proxies could ultimately result in the destruction of the state of Israel.

Iran and its proxies have 250,000 missiles, rockets, and drones encircling Israel, which means about 4,000 munitions hitting the Israeli home front on a daily basis.

Population centres, Haifa Bay, water and electricity facilities, gas fields [in the Mediterranean Sea], IDF bases, and strategic civilian infrastructure… A regional war can ruin the State of Israel,’ he concluded.

Well, a good week— 9/10, thus trumping the 6.5/10 claimed by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answer to question 7.

Talking point

Not just “illegal” migration-invasion (which is only 5%-10% of all immigration into the UK).

For someone such as John Rentoul, the political landscape is effectively unchanging. There will, he imagines, always be a “Conservative” Party, a “Labour” Party and a can’t-decide “dustbin” party (LibDems). There will, he thinks, never be radical or revolutionary change in the UK.

For the John Rentouls of this world, mass immigration is good or at least OK, and it is mainly beneficial, with a few small problems along the way. After all, in Hampstead and Highgate (socio-political) hurricanes hardly ever happen…

Rentoul voted twice for “Boris”-idiot to become Mayor of London: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rentoul. ‘Nuff said…

Meanwhile, in the real world…

The Westminster Bubble journalists such as John Rentoul seem to have missed the main point about GE 2024, i.e. that “Labour”-label did not “win”; the “Conservative” Party lost, and it lost because the voters wanted to bin it. Labour’s fake “landslide” was merely an unavoidable by-product of that, as was the non-existent (despite the huge increase in seats) “LibDem upsurge”.

In reality, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote (because there was no party they felt able to support, mainly). Of the remaining 12 that did vote, only 4 voted Labour, and many of those did so not because they really supported Labour but because they wanted to stamp on the last 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment. Also, 3 of the 12 voted Con, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and (almost) 1 voted Green.

My point here is that voters voted primarily to bin the Cons.

Rentoul and his type are assuming that if, in 2028 or 2029, the voters want to bin Lab, they will revert to voting Con. Maybe not. Maybe they will, even if not much convinced, turn to Reform UK, whatever its flaws.

Look at that Techne UK poll. Both Lab and Con down 2 or 3 points, but Reform UK up 3 points. It is not improbable to imagine Reform UK getting 20% of the vote, and 25% is not impossible.

Hung Parliament territory, with the existing FPTP voting system.

What if the population were to turn like a school of fish, and 30% were to vote Reform UK? Still hung Parliament, but with Reform UK challenging Labour for the position of being largest party in the Commons.

Naturally, I could only support (or lead) a social-national party, and Reform UK is far from being that, but one can see that events (particularly the catastrophic and continuing migration invasion) may propel Reform UK higher over the next few years, and that will move —has already moved— the “Overton window”. Next stop— social nationalism.

“Following weeks of criticism Starmer, Reeve’s and Rayner have just said they will no longer accept freebie clothes. Just reread that. Unbelievable statement considering all the criticism they piled on Boris and co. Such bloody hypocrites. Nobody knew about Reeves and Rayner having kept schtum as Starmer had to admit he took free suits and wife Victoria took free dresses from Labour donor Lord Alli. The public will not forget. This is already a wounded government. All on the take. Starmer led the way. Increasingly unlikely he will survive.”

The present rabble are just another face of the overall System, just like “Boris”-idiot, Sunak, Truss etc. No real difference, just different aesthetics.

Looking back on my blog posts (re. Starmer, going back several years now), I think that I can claim to have been the first, or one of the first, to see what was coming down the line (as with “Boris”-idiot).

The sheer ineptitude does not surprise, in fact, though the very early and very public unmasking of Starmer (as unfit to be Prime Minister) does. I thought it would take longer for his deficiencies to become apparent.

The Times reports that it’s now more expensive to power an electric car than to run a petrol or diesel vehicle.

Stats show using a public rapid charger cost 24.1p per mile, 16.4p for the slower public charger compared with 14.5p for petrol and 12.5p for diesel.

Homes which have a home charger are in much better shape due to dramatically cheaper electric meaning the journey will be between 2p to 7p a mile. But in cities three quarters of tenants and residents live in flats and terraces and therefore can’t have a home charging unit fitted and will have to use public chargers. This will turn out to be a big political issue as people will simply refuse to buy electric cars. The good news is that Ed Miliband will lose his job.

Electric car sales have stalled in the UK and fallen by 44% across Europe. The Times worked out that a London to Penzance return powered by super charger will be £148 compared with petrol at £89.”

“Mark Lewis Lawyer”—latest news

Regular readers will be aware that James Wilson, a university lecturer, won a libel case against two Jews, Cantor and Mendelsohn. A third defendant, a vicious Jewish online troll called Pete Newbon, killed himself during the trial, having concealed his activities from his wife.

At conclusion of the trial, the judge criticized, and found not credible, the evidence of a number of Jewish “witnesses” called for the defendants. Among those witnesses, Adam Cailler (Daily Star scribbler), Joanne Bell (prolific on Twitter sub nom “@jobellerina”), one Nathan Comiskey, and Simon Myerson, a notorious and vituperative Jewish barrister and, at the time, Recorder (p/t judge) who since the trial (though not because of it), has been removed from the Bench by reason of his unpleasant social media arguments and remarks.

Mark Lewis, the egregious and now mainly Israel-based solicitor, acted for at least one, and I think at least two) of the defendants. The lost trial and the aftermath of that trial, brought out that Lewis had, not for the first time, misled the Court, and also had misled (whether deliberately or negligently) his own client(s), in telling them that, were he/they to lose at trial, his/their family home(s) would not be at risk in relation to the damages and costs of the proceedings (costs incurred by the victorious claimant, Wilson).

The Court, at and after conclusion of trial, made it clear that those homes were at risk, not protected. Lewis’s negligent or (arguende) deliberately dishonest behaviour and advice has thus put at risk the homes of the losing defendants.

I missed what has been happening in the past few days:

Not sure whether Wilson is “tongue in cheek” there. Mark Lewis “one of the UK’s leading media litigators“? He must be joking. Lewis is just a self-promoting fraud, his dishonesty covered up (and his abilities hugely puffed) in past years by a Jewish-Zionist newspaper and TV cabal.

When Lewis was found guilty in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018, his own Counsel asked the panel to limit any fine on the ground that Lewis was impecunious, his only assets being his own clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter! Lewis was said not to own his own home, and even the car he drove was being paid for by the DWP scheme “Motability”.

My own blog posts about Lewis, going back to 2018: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/ (that post has links to the other posts).

See also, my most recent post, which contains much about those Wilson v. Mendelsohn and Cantor and Newbon (deceased) legal proceedings: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/07/26/diary-blog-26-july-2024-including-the-latest-news-about-the-unprofessional-behaviour-of-mark-lewis-lawyer/.

The losing defendants, who were plainly misled by a cabal of their fellow-Jews, face losing their family homes. Wilson seems far more concerned about them than I would be in his place. Those Jews were after all (all of them, not just the hapless losing defendants) willing and eager to see Wilson and his family lose everything, including their home, so I say F*** them!

Even if the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority does not, once again, put Lewis on professional “trial”, I imagine that his losing client or clients will very likely sue him in professional negligence to recover the monies (at least the costs monies) lost (apparently) by reason of Lewis’s poor advice. We shall see.

Those photos of Lewis must have been taken at least a decade ago. He is now scarcely able to get in and out of his wheelchair without assistance, as was seen recently after his latest scam (assisted by his now wife, Mandy Blumenthal) crashed and burned at the Edinburgh Fringe:

I think that I can claim to have been the first, or one of the first, to have seen through the Mark Lewis scam/hype/fraud. He was trying to have me disbarred and/or prosecuted since about 2012. Look at my blog posts about him (eg via the search box on the blog) for full details.

Lewis has never threatened me with a defamation suit either, though in my case my armour is, at least in part, my own impecuniosity.

Cash at bank…£666K“…ha.

Again, Wilson credits the losing defendants with far more than I would. They were guilty parties too, in my view. Surely Wilson does not also let the horrible Newbon (deceased) off the hook?

I note that Lewis, once a prolific tweeter, and even quite recently a daily tweeter, and who famously was caught out having bought tens of thousands of fake Twitter “followers”— he still claims over 27,000 (at one time his fake “followers” numbered nearly 80,000), has not, as of today’s date, tweeted for a full three weeks. He must know that the game is up. I think that he will soon scuttle back to Eilat (Israel), if he has not done so already.

I agree with Farage on that point, but he too has not been steadfast.

Farage and Reform UK are pro-Israel, pro the Jewish lobby, not social-national, and so not “the answer” Britain needs.

Also, Farage has made it plain that he bases his hostility to mass immigration not on race and culture, but solely on general mass culture and on whether the immigrants “integrate”. I disagree.

Having said that, people cannot vote or flock to the banners of a party or movement that does not exist. At present, there is no credible social-national movement or party in the UK, a situation which has been the case since at least 2010 (when the BNP was destroyed), or maybe the 1970s or, arguably, since the start of the disastrous war against the German Reich in 1939.

What we have now is a situation in which the “Conservative” Party has been binned (though unfortunately not totally), and in which a fake “Labour” Party has, by reason of a ridiculously unfair and illogical electoral system, achieved a fake “landslide” by default, a “landslide” in which only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters (and 4 out of every 12 voting voters) voted Labour (and many even of those only because they wanted the “Con-men” and women binned.

Labour is already failing, and will achieve nothing in its projected 4-5 years up to 2029. However, the “Cons” are not a viable alternative, a fact underlined by the present uninspiring and mainly non-white leadership contest.

On that basis, Reform UK (which after all was voted for by over 4M voters, over 14% of the total) must be in with a good chance over the next 4-5 years.

Reform UK is not “the answer”, but it may be the start of an answer, or part of the answer, though the “Parliamentary road” is only one road.

The appointment of an unfunny and uninteresting pseudo-comic American lesbianka as London “Night-time Tsar” (paid £133,000+ p.a. for a 3-day week) must rate as one of the most absurd appointments of the last decade, along with the elevation of “Boris” Johnson’s alleged illegitimate daughter, Charlotte Owen, as a member of the House of Lords in 2023 at the age of 29, despite having had no significant work or academic background. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Owen,_Baroness_Owen_of_Alderley_Edge]

Having said that, I now see that, after the unexplained elevation of Charlotte Owen, an equally-absurd “ennoblement” occurred this very year, when one Carmen Smith of the joke-“nationalist” Welsh party, Plaid Cymru, was made a member of the House of Lords aged just 27. A woman whose academic background consists of having attended one year, if that, of a 3-year law degree in Wales, before she dropped out, and whose work experience consists of about 18-24 months as an office gopher for several organizations (she spent 6-10 months in each). Pathetic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Smith,_Baroness_Smith_of_Llanfaes.

Appointments of the type noted above bring the whole system of Parliament into (even more) opprobrium.

The Starmer-Labour government now intends to remove the remaining hereditary peers from the Lords. In principle, I would have no argument with that for several reasons: firstly, the hereditary peers (both those still sitting and the larger number removed by Blair in 1999) almost all had their “aristocratic” family pedigrees dating from as recently as 1900.

Until the era of George III (18thC), the House of Lords numbered only about 50 peers. By 1999, all but a handful of peers could trace their “aristocratic” lineage back only as far as the Lloyd George era of the early 20thC, when sales of honours happened on a wide scale.

The House of Lords has always, certainly from 1900, been a bit of a fake in terms of “aristocratic” credentials.

Having said that, Blair’s typically wrongheaded reform of 1999 has merely resulted in an ever-growing number of time-served ex-MPs, political donors, and low-grade cronies etc being given life peerages. Over 700 at latest count.

The two mentioned above, Charlotte Owen and Carmen Smith, are just the tip of the iceberg. As long ago as 2011, useless Oona King, half American black, half Jewish, was put into the Lords having lost her seat as MP in 2005, and having failed to become Mayor of London: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oona_King. She had ridden the “diversity” carousel to get that far, and continues to do so, though she retired from the House of Lords in 2024 and is now “head of diversity” at, of all things, Uber taxis.

I read Oona King’s book of memoirs, The Oona King Diaries: House Music, many years ago. Utterly cretinous. I should have been able to refer readers of the blog to my Amazon review of the book, but the “usual suspects” (malicious Jew-Zionists) had my reviews all taken down over a decade ago. I am now unable to review on Amazon, despite once having been voted a “top 100” reviewer. “Free society”?

There seems little point in having the House of Lords at all now, even as a so-called “revising chamber”, a job at which the Lords is useless anyway.

Russia could “win” this long and bitter conflict by simply flattening Kiev, but has not wanted to do that. Kiev was the first capital of Kievan Rus, before Moscow was even founded. It is a basic part of the Russian imperium, part of its history.

The increasing support for Reform UK among (but not exclusively) “the young” seems to mirror the support for the AfD in Germany.

For me, Reform UK is not the way to go: pro-Israel, pro the UK Jewish lobby, economically “libertarian” etc. I agree with the Reform UK hostility to mass immigration, but not with much else they say. For me, real social nationalism is the way to go.

Still, the overall direction of travel is hopeful.

You see tweets, or on TV, that “at least the migrants are prepared to work“, but first of all that applies to some, not all; secondly, what that naive assessment omits to add is that the kind of work most of them (the ones that are willing to work) want to do (or can do, having no usable qualifications or skills, or English language), is in the “black economy”. No income tax, no VAT etc. That way, they can get whatever State benefits they can blag as well as whatever they can make on the side, so rent paid, pocket money, maybe disability too in some cases. Child benefit, if applicable. You get the idea.

The bigger picture, as Goodwin has said, is that that whole process traps this country into being a low-wage, low productivity economy. Exactly the opposite of where we should be heading.

That would be good.

The self-describing “left” is particularly prone to denunciation. In fact, in modern Britain, that is its sole characteristic of note. No more do they want to revolt against privilege, or have a revolution of some sort. No, all they want to do is to obey the dictates of the State (especially if fronted by a “Labour” label), and to “deplatform” or “cancel” (censor or ban) anyone thought to be an independent thinker (usually someone labelled “racist” or “fascist” or “Nazi“). You saw the syndrome during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, of course.

[“Off with their heads!“]

Morning music

The overcrowded prisons, the aftermath of the recent protests, and about real criminals released early

There are nuances in the situation, and a few minor objections might be made to that amiable rant, but fundamentally he is right. Even the Guardian admits it: https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/aug/17/fresh-uk-prisons-crisis-as-riots-lead-to-fears-of-overcrowding.

Basically, 1,000+ people have now been arrested following the recent protests and connected minor “riots” (or violent outbreaks) here and there.

Many of those people have been charged, and many of those have been remanded in custody, meaning put into prison until trial (which might be as long as a year or more later, unless fast-tracked). Those who have pleaded guilty so far mostly seem to have been imprisoned anyway.

The fact is that many (probably almost all) of those imprisoned, either pending trial or after having pleaded guilty, are not in any way, even in the lay sense, “dangerous”. Many have no previous convictions, and even those who do (and the sentences of which have been reported after guilty pleas) have convictions mainly for non-violent offences (shoplifting, drugs etc).

What Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and (absurdly) Shabana Mahmood, have done is to release known and active criminals early (many non-white, and after they have completed only 40% of their sentences), in order to free up space which is now being used to incarcerate English people who are, almost all, not active criminals.

Those released early under that scheme will, many of them, re-offend within a fairly short space of time, whereas relatively few of those arrested in the aftermath of the recent protests will re-offend at all, ever, and certainly not in terms of violent disorder. That of course applies even more to those arrested/charged/imprisoned because they merely made comments, justified or otherwise, on social media.

It is beginning to look very much as though Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and the ridiculous Shabana Mahmood (currently posing as “Lord Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice) have no idea what they are doing. To me, their over-reaction to the recent minor disorders that took place (by English people— those done by Roma Gypsies in Leeds, and Pakistanis in Birmingham etc, have gone largely unpunished) seems much like that of the Queen of Hearts in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: “Off with their heads!

[“Off with their heads!“]

Incidentally, was there ever a “Lord Chancellor” and Justice Secretary less qualified? A moot point after some in recent years, I concede. However, Shabana Mahmood is an absurd choice for the role. She was only at the practising Bar for a few months, if that (after a year of pupillage), and then worked as a salaried gopher in a firm of solicitors, and only for a couple of years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabana_Mahmood#Early_life_and_career.

Shabana Mahmood’s entire legal career only lasted about 3-4 years.

She was probably appointed to placate the Pakistani Muslim element in the UK.

Pakistanis as such are now about 3% of the population; Muslims as a whole (many of which are also Pakistani but born in the UK) comprise 6% of the UK population now. Both anyway are significant voting blocs, and important in general political terms.

Kursk incursion

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/18/zelenskiy-ukraine-shock-russia-offensive-incursion

Nearly early two weeks after its surprise incursion into Russia, Ukraine finds itself struggling to find a balance between seizing territory across the border in Kursk and losing it at the heart of the eastern front in central Donetsk.

On Friday, Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, claimed advances were being made of up to two miles a day inside Russia, but Moscow’s forces have gained about three miles this month as the Kremlin bets heavily on capturing the hub of Pokrovsk.

In Pokrovsk, meanwhile, officials have stepped up civilian evacuations. Serhiy Dobryak, head of the city military administration, warned that Russian forces had “almost approached” the city and that alarm about its future was growing.

Until a year ago, Pokrovsk was considered safe enough to act as a regional base where journalists and aid workers could stay overnight. Its road and rail connections link the central city of Dnipro with Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. Capturing it would in effect cut the part of Donetsk oblast still in Ukrainian hands in two.

There are persistent rumours that Col Emil Ishkulov, the popular commander of Ukraine’s 80th brigade, now among those involved in the incursion into Kursk, was removed from his position at the end of July because he was opposed to the incursion into Russia – unsure his unit had the strength for the task. At the time, soldiers from the unit issued an unsuccessful public appeal for him to be reinstated.

Sumy, which has a population of about 250,000, has remained busy and lively in the summer heat, though the noise of explosions from Russian glide bombs in the distance stepped up over last week. Its hospitals, though, have been filling up with frontline casualties, and an appeals for blood donations went out to help treat wounded soldiers a week ago. It took an hour for the need to be met.

The city has also received about 4,000 people fleeing the agricultural villages in the area towards the border in the north, many of whom plan to rent apartments.

In the border zone, six miles from the boundary, meanwhile, only a tiny handful of civilians and little functioning infrastructure remain. One shop with smashed windows was still selling groceries, but most places were boarded up. An aid agency, Global Empowerment Mission, supplies nearly 26,000 food rations every month because market supplies are absent, visiting frontline villages every week to distribute to the remaining population.

[Guardian]

I recently examined this situation on the blog. My thoughts were that either Putin might push the incursion forces back using conventional military means, or blast the entire area from the air, destroying the Kiev-regime forces (as well as any unfortunate Russian and Ukrainian villagers still trying to live there).

Another possibility, less likely, would be a massive bombardment of either Kharkov or Kiev, using bombers and missiles.

Now, I have come to think that there is a fourth possibility, one which has roots in Russian and Soviet history.

When, as Tolstoy put it, in War and Peace, “the forces of Western Europe invaded Russia” in 1812 (the forces commanded by Napoleon were not all French, though about two-thirds were), the strategy adopted by the Russian leadership under Kutuzov, once he was appointed, was to withdraw and withdraw out of reach, while carrying out some limited flanking attacks and what we might now term “special operations”.

According to the preferred strategy, St. Petersburg, the capital, was protected both by troops and by distance, and so was never threatened by the Grande Armee. Moscow, however, was abandoned and set on fire.

Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow was famously disastrous, his armies all but destroyed by attritional flank attacks, cold, lack of food, and by disease.

Of the initial half million men, only about 100,000 made it back to France or other countries.

On 24 June 1812 and subsequent days, the initial wave of the multinational Grande Armée crossed the Niemen River, marking the entry from the Duchy of Warsaw into Russia.

Employing extensive forced marches, Napoleon rapidly advanced his army of nearly half a million individuals through Western Russia, encompassing present-day Belarus, in a bid to dismantle the disparate Russian forces led by Barclay de Tolly and Pyotr Bagration totaling approximately 180,000–220,000 soldiers at that juncture.[21][22]

Despite losing half of his men within six weeks due to extreme weather conditions, diseases and scarcity of provisions, Napoleon emerged victorious in the Battle of Smolensk. However, the Russian Army, now commanded by Mikhail Kutuzov, opted for a strategic retreat, employing attrition warfare against Napoleon compelling the invaders to rely on an inadequate supply system, incapable of sustaining their vast army in the field.

In the German invasion and war of 1941-1945, the Wehrmacht advanced to within sight of central Moscow, but were then held and pushed back. Stalin was unwilling to abandon Moscow, the capital, for reasons of morale and administration.

However, elsewhere in European Russia, the Stavka (high command) allowed the Germans to advance and advance into the apparently limitless space (prostor, in the Russian word), as the German supply lines became elongated and eventually unable to supply enough food and ammunition; this came to a head particularly during the battle for Stalingrad.

Reverting to the Kursk situation in 2024, it can be seen that the operation was designed by Zelensky, against the advice of some of his commanders, as a public relations exercise. The suppliers of arms and vast amounts of Western taxpayers’ money had to be shown that the Kiev-regime forces were not beaten. Those forces achieved surprise, and, at first, considerable success.

The area presently held seems to be less than 1,000 sq. km: https://www.ft.com/content/84c60abe-1eab-4440-8511-c13218c7bbe7. That is rather more than twice the size of the Isle of Wight.

The Kiev-regime forces were advancing several miles a day in that Kursk border region, but have probably now almost stopped.

Russian forces far to the south, in the Donbass, are advancing 1-3 miles a day, apparently. The Kiev-regime forces are outmannned and outgunned there, a situation made worse by the use of some experienced Ukrainian troops for the Kursk incursion.

What Putin could do (though it might be politically difficult) would be to do little but just about hold the line in the Kursk region, or even fall back on Kursk city (about 30-40 miles from the present front-line), while pounding the Kiev-regime supply lines and rear echelon areas. The Kiev regime forces do not have the manpower or ammunition etc to advance endlessly. Their tide may already have reached its fullest extent.

In other words, Putin could almost let those Kiev-regime forces in the Kursk region “die on the vine”, in MacArthur’s memorable phrase.

Once those Kiev regime forces are stuck in the Kursk region, or have retreated, or are destroyed, those forces will not be able to be deployed, or re-deployed, on the Donbass front. Even now, it looks as though Russian forces will soon split the Kiev-regime forces there into two. Once that results in further crumbling of the front, startling Russian advances may be seen, either in the next few months or next summer. All of Eastern Ukraine may fall to Russian forces in 2025.

The Notting Hill Carnival should never have been allowed in the first place, and should be terminated now but will not be, because the Government is afraid of weeks of rioting and looting by blacks if such a step were to be taken.

I attended that carnival once, out of curiosity. In the early or mid 1980s. Absolutely ghastly. Intolerable noise, mostly from horrible amplified “music”. Intolerable crowds. Also, no way of getting out without walking miles. In the end, I walked all the way back to Little Venice.

Another strange Mark Lewis tale

So it seems that the “poor and victimized” Jewish couple, supposedly targeted by an American black comedian, then booed out of an Edinburgh Fringe comedy show by the irritated audience, were none other than Mark Lewis, the egregious self-promoting solicitor, and his wife/partner/carer Mandy Blumenthal. They made a big fuss about emigrating to Israel six years ago. They said that Britain was too “antisemitic” for them to remain here, and so were, in effect, getting out while they could.

A pack of lies. They spend quite a bit of time here, and do not seem to feel any obligation to stay and help Israel in its hour of need.

If those tweets by Reginald D. Hunter are true (accurate), that puts another complexion on the “victimized Jewish couple” story as first published and broadcast recently.

First of all, one has to ask why Lewis and his companion went to such a show in the first place, if the comedian, one Reginald D. Hunter, is known for being “antisemitic” (I have to admit that I had never heard of him at all).

What was their motive even for going there if they were aware of the comedian’s expressed views?

It will be remembered by some that Mandy Blumenthal deliberately tried to book passage, quite many years ago, on a Middle Eastern airline operating out of Heathrow, and made it known that she was Jewish (perhaps using her Israeli passport rather than her UK one). Once refused by the airline, a “typical” fuss was made, both at the airport and in the (((Press))), and the airline quickly stumped up, apparently, quite a few thousand pounds by way of “compensation” (to shut her up).

Is this yet another cynical way to get money, this time out of the comedian, the promoter or the theatre? Was the whole thing contrived in advance, like that airline scam, or not? We do not know, and can only try to draw logical conclusions from what we know.

Incidentally, here is the Times of Israel report about the airline “compensation” scam: https://www.timesofisrael.com/kuwait-air-to-compensate-israeli-for-refusing-to-fly-her-report/. It makes clear that lawyers from “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] helped Mandy Blumenthal to make her claim, which resulted in her receiving “substantial damages“.

Mark Lewis is —quelle surprise— a member, indeed perhaps even a leading member, of UKLFI, as well as the notorious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], both of which have been involved in attacking me over recent years (since 2014): see, eg, https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Reading about what the comedian said on stage, it seems that he recognized the “anonymous” Jewish couple of the Press stories, and that that is why he said that he had been “waiting” for Lewis, assuming that it was Lewis, to turn up:

During the furore, Hunter, 55, appeared to double down on his initial joke, telling the couple: “I’ve been waiting for you all summer, where the f*** you been?” [Jewish Chronicle]. https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/israeli-couple-hounded-out-of-reginald-d-hunter-fringe-show-as-he-makes-jokes-about-jews-g6dtt4ip.

Lewis has been in considerable legal trouble recently: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/07/26/diary-blog-26-july-2024-including-the-latest-news-about-the-unprofessional-behaviour-of-mark-lewis-lawyer/.

As for his previous history, the blog post below covers, or has links about, Lewis’s previous and rather inglorious activities: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/.

That’s even before one considers the way in which he treated his ex-wife, one-time low-level TV face, and radio voice (now washed-up and over the hill), Caroline Feraday. I have little time for her anyway, so let’s leave that aside for now (she joined with Lewis in abusing me very unpleasantly on Twitter, about 12 years ago, so she deserved to suffer once she married him, in my view).

As for that Daily Mail scribbler who claims to have “tracked down” the “Jewish couple”, that is none other than Sabrina Miller, who was at the centre of the contrived storm around anti-Zionist academic Dr. David Miller [https://x.com/Tracking_Power] formerly of Bristol University, who was sacked but later won at an employment tribunal: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/05/bristol-university-professor-discrimination-anti-zionist/; and https://www.gbnews.com/news/anti-zionist-professor-wins-landmark-case-against-unfair-dismissal-video.

Sabrina Miller, when a vociferous Jewish girl student at Bristol, found time to defend Jewish-lobby-puppet and then-MP, Ian Austin, who had tweeted that bestiality pornography and other similar material should be decriminalized. Now she is a “journalist” with the Daily Mail.

The Mail might not have the best reputation, but it really should draw the line at contrived “stories” such as this Edinburgh Fringe scam.

Looks to me as though the audience recognized Lewis specifically, and were loudly disapproving for that reason.

As for the comedian, the promoter (if any), and the theatre, they should resist any contrived legal claim that “any” ambulance-chaser might make…

This all makes me feel that “a certain person” was right (about “them”)…

Lewis must be desperate to invent a case…

The Daily Mail should sack Sabrina Miller. Jews always demand sackings for far less default, so what is good for the goose, etc…

As I surmised.

What does Starmer think those imprisoned protesters, tweeters, Facebook posters feel about the UK government of traitors now? Happy? Angry? Determined?

God help John Betjeman, were he still alive. “Come, friendly German bombers, and drop your bombs on Slough“… he would probably be arrested by the “Anti-Terror Command” or other poundshop UK Stasi police, and/or imprisoned for years.

Almost anything now published or spoken by msm scribblers and talking heads can be discounted. If they ever cross the line into uncomfortable and “unapproved” reality, they soon lose those lucrative jobs— and they know it.

All in the Donbass, where Russian forces are now steadily advancing at a rate of up to 3 miles per day.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose this war.

Or not.

People have already lost faith in the UK political process, and the police. Until now, the courts have retained a measure of public respect. Will the courts and the judges now go the way of the politicians and police?

“Respect” is not quite the same as “fear”. Judge Jeffreys was feared but not respected. Look what happened to him.

George Jeffreys, 1st Baron Jeffreys PC (15 May 1645 – 18 April 1689), also known as “the Hanging Judge“,[1] was a Welsh judge. He became notable during the reign of King James II, rising to the position of Lord Chancellor (and serving as Lord High Steward in certain instances). His conduct as a judge was to enforce royal policy, resulting in a historical reputation for severity and bias.”

[Judge Jeffreys]

This is how ludicrous things have become. The judge said: “Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you spat at anybody. But it is accepted by you that you were a party to this disorder and I have to sentence you on that basis, and you know that anyone party to it has to receive a custodial sentence.” Man described by judge as the ‘least involved’ in riot jailed for a year https://telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/13/youngest-female-rioter-13-court-mother-step-father/

I was not familiar with the facts of the case until (just now) reading the above link, but if the defendant did actually nothing, neither by deed nor by word (of incitement, though he did say things of an insulting and profane character), then how could any judge, properly directing himself, either find the defendant guilty (even on a plea of guilty, which may have been procured by fear of a heavier sentence yet) or hand down any custodial sentence?

I see now, in the Daily Telegraph report, that the defendant did in fact push at a police riot shield, though once only.

The judge was fair enough to have gone into recess at the trial, until further video evidence was screened.

Surely appealable, at least on sentence.

Indeed, if the defendant’s only action had been to be at the scene, and even if, so to speak, “silently in agreement” with the acts done by others, then that surely would not be enough? His words actually said were at worst ambiguous, in my view. Meaning that, on those premises, arguende, there was no actus reus sufficient in law (?). However, the pushing of the riot shield might (and obviously did) change that, in the mind of the judge. Rather thin, though.

Even if the judge felt impelled to imprison that defendant, surely 3 months would have been more than enough? He would then have been released within 4-5 weeks. Now, he will be spending about 5 months in prison, unless he gets bail pending any appeal on sentence.

Excessive.

Deadhead MPs

I am not yet ready to resume blogging anew about “Deadhead MPs” as I did in the past, but this one has to be at least a possible contender: https://x.com/StephenFlynnSNP/status/1820422989248143499

Strongly favours migration-invasion, and mass immigration generally. Pretends to think that it actually benefits this country! An enemy of Britain’s future.

Exactly my own experience.

(to British families or individuals only, though, not to migrant-invaders or any other non-Europeans).

Again, plainly excessive. A suspended sentence would have been appropriate; the immediate 15 months, in all the circumstances, and seeing the strong personal/family mitigation— savage. As it is, the defendant will only be released after 5 months (minus a few days).

Starmer and his compliant judges may have repressed the recent protests (which were coming to an end anyway— the (((Hope not Hate))) cabal just invented the spectre of 100 more “far right” protests— but, in my opinion, people are getting even angrier, albeit under the surface, and with both the general situation in the country and about the “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by a mere 20% of eligible voters) of Two-Tier Keir.

People are just wary of openly saying or publishing online anything now, because of the open repression of free speech, and because of the police-state over-reaction by both Two-Tier Keir and those judges who have recently been giving out Cold War East European-style “People’s Court” sentences (for political “crimes” only).

“ZELENSKY APPROVED PLAN TO BLOW UP NORD STREAM PIPELINES

Despite the mainstream media saying for months that Russia blew up the pipelines, the Wall Street Journal has now revealed it was planned and executed by Ukraine at a cost of $300,000.

When the CIA learned of the plan they told Zelesnky to abort it, however it still went ahead. According to senior Ukrainian defense and security officials, the pipelines were a legitimate target. They are jointly owned by Russian, German, French, and Dutch companies, and the explosion caused 800 million cubic meters of gas, equivalent to about 3 months of Danish gas supplies, to escape.

It’s a problem for Germany, as a senior official said: “An attack of this scale is a sufficient reason to trigger the collective defense clause of NATO, but our critical infrastructure was blown up by a country that we support with massive weapons shipments and billions in cash.” Ukraine still officially denies involvement in the attack.

The vulgar mercantilist influence comes out in the language, and has for a number of years.

Apart from that, throwing money at a trade union or its members, in order to ensure a period without strikes, is easy enough, and not some masterstroke of Labour Party industrial relations.

Then compare that to the equally inaccurate and one-sided BBC and Sky News (etc) reportage about the Ukraine conflict, the migration-invasion and much else.

I agree completely. The UK has gone slowly mad in that regard over the past 50 years and especially the past 25 years.

Example(s) of and from what Katie Hopkins calls “Batshit Bonkers Britain”.

As frequently noted on the blog over the past 7 years, the self-describing “Left” has almost nothing left except hysterical demands that “the authorities” should “deplatform” anyone of whom they disapprove, or who is not of the “woke” orthodoxy. It even came out during the “Covid” hysteria of a few years ago.

The once-socialist so-called “Left” and/or “antifascist” tendency has actually nothing to offer the British people. No ideals. No ideas. Just witch-hunts.

Incidentally, anyone wanting to confirm that those sorts of individuals really are of “Batshit Bonkers Britain”, read this

The Kursk operation serves to create the illusion of progress.

It is possible that the United States participated in providing the intelligence that the Armed Forces of Ukraine needed to attack the Kursk region, said former Pentagon adviser Douglas McGregor.

The goal of the operation is to create the illusion of success so that warmongers in Washington will continue to send money to Ukraine, he emphasized.

Exactly.
