Exactly the same as the way in which Roma and other Gypsies (who came to mainland Europe from India centuries ago) live in Romania, Bulgaria etc. Import foreign populations, and you also import their behavioural patterns.

In the 1970s, despite problems, despite some poverty-stricken areas, Britain still had many possibilities open to it. Not so now. The importation of tens of millions of backward people has painted this country into a corner. There are now few, if any, easy and peaceful ways forward.

That Bernal person, despite being a professor at a university, has rather poor thinking skills. For example, he used to tweet frequently about how “free speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of your free speech“. Under that definition, Stalin’s Soviet Union, Mao’s China, and Pol Pot’s Cambodia had “free speech”… In other words, Bernal, a part-Jew descended from the once-famous J.D. Bernal [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Bernal], is a pretty silly person, to say the least.

Another socio-political idiot hiding behind a “professorship” (“professors” really are ten-a-penny these days in the UK).

In any case, he is wrong in his assumption: had the person charged and now arraigned been from a (real) British/English background, I am absolutely sure that the fact would have been proclaimed loudly all across the msm, and for years to come.

Financial Times types may decry such a tweet as unsophisticated, but he has a point.

The recent protesters simply made a fuss on the streets, and will have been photographed, identified, had their details filed etc.

The real enemies of the British people are at Westminster, and in the power structures (political and financial), as well as in the msm (particularly TV stations).

Starmer, and his mob of Islington lawyers, just don’t get it. His very political speech , surrounded by Union flags, deliberately misses the point. He doesn’t understand that away from his protected world, ordinary people associate the murder of innocent children with the arrival of illegal migrants. There is fear on the streets and he’s waffling on about online crackdowns or getting police forces to talk to each other. Neither will solve the problem. Stopping the boats will. The reality is I’m not sure he wants to.

Good grief. For the second time in a month I find myself in agreement with former Sun editor, Kelvin MacKenzie.

Is that meant to be some kind of omen? Of course, in ancient times, signs and portents were taken very seriously, as you can see in Herodotus.

The Embassy strongly rejects media reports fuelled by irresponsible comments from former intelligence officials that #Russia is somehow to blame for rising social tensions in the #UK. This is predictable gaslighting from people who have themselves contributed to the destabilisation of entire countries and regions, setting in motion unprecedented refugee flows and human suffering.”

Talking point

[Dave Brown/The Independent]

As the ordure hits the fan, the System (and its cartoonists etc, the cartoon above being from the now online-only Independent) are loudly shouting that the disorder just below the surface in the UK’s cities, and breaking surface fairly often, is not because of factors such as —and most importantly— the invasion of this country by tens of millions of blacks and browns (etc), but by the people appalled at what has happened, what is happening, and what is plainly going to happen not very far in the future.

The System mouthpieces blame, for that disorder, not the underlying causes, and certainly not the treacherous “political class” at Westminster (which deliberately contrived the migration-invasion), but Farage, Reform UK, “Tommy Robinson”, other and various nationalist or social-national Prominente, and even bloggers and truth-tellers such as me.

Incidentally, I was just looking at a few more examples of that cartoonist’s work; liked this one:

…and this one:

Remember Sunak? Many will soon be saying “who he?” or “who or what was Sunak?” The little Indian money-juggler is still officially Leader of the Opposition, but is invisible already and will soon, I expect, be living in sunny California.

Day 8 of 56. Mark Lewis and Patron Law have not yet paid my costs. Lewis submitted evidence to the High Court in my case about the transfer of his client’s house.

It seemed unlikely the evidence was true, so – like the judge in Lewis’ Davidoff case – I checked.

The Land Registry info showed Lewis’ evidence was false and he made another statement apologising to the court.

That’s twice in a year that Lewis has provided untrue evidence to the High Court and it has only been picked up by careful online research.”

[James Wilson].

It seems to me that Lewis is going to find himself sued in professional negligence soon, if he has not already been. My prediction is that he will scuttle back to Israel screeching about “antisemitism” in the UK. He will (probably) be safe from legal action there (though that is, I admit, a guess on my part), and will leave the small Jewish law firm in West London, which is his foothold in the English jurisdiction, to pick up any bill. Another guess on my part, but I expect that to be the way things develop.

It would be rather unfair were Lewis to scream about “antisemitism”. After all, not only have “British” (albeit “occupied”) mass media outlets (Daily Mail etc) been puffing Lewis, quite inaccurately, and for years, as a supposed hot-shot lawyer, but when Lewis was found guilty before a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 (just before he officially emigrated to Israel), his own Counsel begged the Tribunal not to fine Lewis heavily, because he lived in a rented apartment, and because his only assets were his [extremely vulgar] clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter! Even his car was being provided to him free of charge by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers via the Motability scheme run for the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/31/farage-accused-of-inciting-southport-violence-by-former-counter-terror-chief

A former counter-terrorism police chief has accused Nigel Farage of helping incite violence that broke out in Southport after the killing of three children in a knife attack this week.

Farage drew criticism from across the political spectrum for remarks he made in a video on Tuesday in which he questioned “whether the truth is being withheld from us” after the attack on Monday.

Neil Basu – a former senior Scotland Yard officer who was in charge of counter-terrorism from 2018 to 2021 – said there were “real world consequences” when public figures failed to “keep their mouth shut”

[Guardian]

Well, there it is. Mixed-race ex-“anti-terror” cop Basu [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Basu] proclaims that people should not be allowed to speak on socio-politically contentious issue or events, but should “keep their mouths shut“. There speaks the true voice of “woke” System totalitarianism.

Why should British people “shut up” just because types like Basu disagree with what they are saying?

Even more egregious, Farage was merely asking pointed questions.

More egregious yet, Farage is actually an MP, and leader of both a bloc of MPs and a party for which 2 out of every 12 voters (who voted) voted at GE 2024 (Con 3 out of 12, Lab 4 out of 12).

If enemies of freedom like Basu demand that even elected MPs and party leaders “keep their mouths shut“, what little freedom would the bastards allow to “ordinary citizens”?

Incidentally, Basu has never been elected to anything, has no degree or equivalent (as far as I know), has never written a book or anything else of note (as far as I know), and even the police were glad when he took early retirement, it seems.

Where is Basu’s locus standi, really?

This is the way things are going in the UK.

The last 2 days have seen pointless arguments: “was the killer at Southport Muslim or not?” (not, it seems), and “was the killer at Southport ‘British’ or not?” (no, not in the world of reality, but he was born in the UK to Africans). Also, “were the rioters in Leeds Muslim?” (no, Roma Gypsies). All a stupid and pointless media and social media circus.

Anyway, comment about the specific Southport perpetrator must now be limited by reason of someone having been charged and arraigned.

What really matters is the big picture— the failure of “multicultural” Britain. The fact that only 80% of the inhabitants of these islands are now white European, let alone British. Even in 1989 it was about 93%, and in the 1960s at least 95%.

In England specifically, well below that 80% figure, and in the big cities far far below.

“Foreign-born” is not a very accurate measure anyway. As we have seen, many non-whites are born in the UK, but more than that many non-whites are not only born in the UK, but are born to parents themselves born in the UK.

Disastrous for Britain’s future, including its near-future.

Statistics are being misapplied, and falsified anyway.

Just look around you.

What we are looking at is the upcoming slow collapse of what is still a semi-civilized society in the UK. It has already started to crack and distort.

I wonder whether Starmer’s wife has much direct influence over his political stances.

Starmer is behaving as though almost everyone in the UK voted Labour, and so (maybe) for him, when in fact only 4 voters out of every 12 that voted, voted Labour (only 4 out of 20 if all eligible voters are included).

Goodwin ought to address (including in his own mind) what (((element))) has always been and still is in the forefront of the conspiracy to import millions of backward non-Europeans into the UK.

He is quite right otherwise, of course.

Goodwin does not suggest what is most necessary though— the creation of a European ethnostate within the UK.

That tyrannical idiot and his “Labour” colleagues have always supported the mass immigration which is this country’s major, prime, most pressing problem, and which impacts all areas, from crime and lawlessness through to housing, environment, overcrowded cities, low pay, the declining NHS, the slow collapse of the Welfare State etc, even the water shortage.

In Leeds, the police caved to the Gypsy mob, in Southend the police seemed to be entirely absent as hundreds of blacks fought battles in the streets using machetes etc, but in Whitehall, the brave paramilitary police arrest a woman, said to be 61, for protesting against what is happening in this country.

Paul Mason, the pseudo-revolutionary System drone. I may be wrong, but he always gives me the impression of being a state and/or System asset of some kind.

That “Paul Shilly” person is the type I struggle to understand. Do people like him really think that the UK (or Europe in general) can take in millions, then tens or even hundreds of millions, of mostly very backward, useless, parasitic migrant-invaders, without limit? Do they really think that UK society can survive endless waves of backward parasites and/or enemies reaching our shores? Or do they secretly know that the migration invasion will destroy both society and our root-stock, and is that what the traitors really want?

Social-media “slacktivism” alone will not accomplish anything, of course.

Many people on Twitter/X talking about trivia such as “was he [the killer] really only 17?” and “why not name and shame him?”, as if that matters much.

The big picture is that the UK is now full of non-Europeans, who now comprise about 20% of the population (far more in London and other cities and towns).

The majority of the non-Europeans here, indeed the vast majority, are of no use whatever to an advanced economy and society (which Britain was and could again become, indeed to some extent still is). A substantial minority of the non-Europeans are also actively criminal, or enemies of the British people. Of course, only a tiny minority commit massacres, but why should the British people accept any such outrages?

Part of that big picture view includes the fact that between half a million and a million migrant-invaders are entering and staying in the UK every year at this point.

The response of the revived corpse of “New Labour”, now under Israel-puppet Starmer, is to conceal the truth, to try to turn “illegals” to “legal migrants” via a rubber-stamp (the primary weapon of a type such as Starmer), and to destroy what is left of the English countryside by building ugly hutches for the migrants and others.

Rachel Reeves makes a lot more than that. The £90,000 is merely MP salary. As Chancellor, she gets about the same again, and has had other concealed income streams. Plus substantial investments.

Of course, Sophie Corcoran is a typical “Conservative” pseudo-“libertarian”, and Starmer-Labour is merely a hopeless mixture of Blair-Brown “New Labour” and the past 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment.

Planning madness

https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/24467184.uproar-larling-plans-nearly-2-000-new-homes/

Villagers in a hamlet which has around 100 homes have reacted with anger to proposals to build more than 2,000 new properties on their doorsteps.

Locals in Larling argue the area, which does not have mains sewage, is wildly unsuited to a development of such a scale.

The project would effectively turn it from one of Norfolk’s smallest villages to one of its largest – or create a new village altogether on its outskirts.

Larling, close to the A11 between Thetford and Attleborough, has been a late addition to Breckland Council’s local plan, which sets out where new homes can be built over the next two decades.

[Eastern Daily Press]

Similar madness is all over England now.

The madder thing is that hardly any English people are having children; who who are, are having one, or two. Below replacement level. Only the blacks and browns are having 3 or 4, or more, children.

Then, of course, the UK is importing 500,000-1,000,000 unwanted immigrants, mostly non-white, every single year now. Unsustainable, even in sheer numerical terms.

I do not know exactly when this society will break, but the signs are everywhere now. Quite soon, I think. Years rather than decades.

That Norfolk idea has apparently been put forward by or via a typically-greedy farming family, the Lewin family (see the newspaper report). They will end up with many millions if that development goes ahead. Probably about £20M. I have little time for the kind of farmers England now mostly has. Greedy moneygraspers, many of them.

I condemn the violence in Southport without reservation. But I don’t remember the same level of condemnation & pearl clutching at the Harehills & Manchester Airport riots & thuggery. They are not insulting the community, @ranvir01, they are trying to defend it.

The rioting started when, what appears to be an Asian or Middle Eastern man, turned up with a knife.

For decades people have wanted less immigration, especially the working-class as they bear the full brunt of the negative consequences. Knife crime, anti-social behaviour & grooming gangs.

Labour MP@SarahChampionMP estimates 1 million girls were abused, while the Labour Party covered it up with social services & the councils.

Now the murder of three little girls. People were aghast at the laxity to the response to Harehills & Manchester, but if they are white, lets go on a hate-fest against them. Be sure to sprinkle in far-right & EDL for emphasis. Two-tier policing & justice.

Note how weasel Pierce says that the alleged Southport murderer is “British” just because born in Wales (to African parents). If I were born in China, would I be Chinese? I think not.

So there is our “free” mass media. A “diverse” panel consisting of one little gay pro-immigration “Conservative”, one pseudo-revolutionary “British” Indian woman, and some stray black unknown to me. All pushing the same line…

I think that, the way things are going, the British people are going to take matters into their own hands, as at Southport. Not in a (very) planned or co-ordinated way (bearing in mind the degree of snooping that the poundland police state now indulges in, and the Kafka-esque misuse of “anti-terror” laws), but as now not infrequently seen, events flaring up, perhaps though leading to serious political upheaval as well, over time.

By 2034, there will be another 5M-10M non-whites in the UK, mostly in England, mostly in the cities. Plus maybe a few million births. What then?

UK, Eire, France, Germany, Italy, Spain. The problem is a pan-continental one.

[and you know what kind of (((influence))) is behind Yvette Cooper].

The Tunisian revolution began with a street vendor. Everyone knows the wider issues are the problem and it snowballs.

In the UK the problem is importing 10 million foreigners did not increase quality of life. It brought murder, rape, terrorism, wage stagnation, house price explosion etc.

But worst of all political gridlock on any solution to stop the inflow never mind reverse the damage. ~40% of the Labour vote comes from non-natives. They only got 33% in the election, without the imports they would have only got ~20%. This mindset of promoting foreigners and suppressing natives is representative of almost no one.”

Very true. As I have explained several times, at GE 2024, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote, probably out of disgust with the System. Another 4 out of 20 voted Labour; 3 voted Con, 2 Reform UK, 2 LibDem, and 1 Green. In rough outline.

In other words, only 4 people out of every 20 voted Labour. If, as is certainly the case, half of the Labour vote was from the ethnic minorities, that means that only 2 out of 20 real British people voted Labour.

Labour really has no mandate at all, or at best a very marginal one.

Free speech is being taken away. Elections have become almost meaningless. Our (real) human and civil rights are being eroded fast, replaced by fake ones. The late President Kennedy said something about that sort of situation:

And tragically, millions of people are completely duped by this. What we have witnessed over the Covid response, the war in Ukraine, the Net Zero agenda on climate change and many other current issues is a movement of faux-virtue that has been carefully crafted by corrupt politicians, messengers within legacy media outlets, greedy corporations, messiah delusional billionaires and undemocratic technocrats to create the impression that they are the virtuous ones who are our friends.

Now look— David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson etc. As for Starmer, not Jewish, but with Jewish wife, just like Jenrick and others.

Regular readers know that I always say that I am not a “hanger and flogger” by any means, but a suspended sentence, and pitiful financial penalty, for a completely unprovoked and vicious attack of that sort in a public place, is inadequate; in fact it makes a mockery of law, order, and the courts.

We all know that prisons are full etc, but that sentence is just not good enough. Naturally, not all relevant facts before the court are printed in newspaper reports, but it is hard to see what mitigation could be sufficient on the facts that are known to newspaper readers to outweigh what the defendant did.

Incidentally, I had no idea what “Razorlight” might be. For those in similar difficulties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razorlight.

Rachel Reeves has no “plan”, just a tick-box idea of “balancing the books”. cf. David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne.

Look at what she herself has decided to do, along with her boss, fellow Labour Friends of Israel member Starmer.

Infrastructure investment slashed, which is the worst-possible choice (though some projects are useless, notably HS2). More money for the subsistence of unwanted migrant-invaders. Pensioners to lose a lifeline. No new hospitals. Yet pay rises of 22.3% (over 2 years) for junior hospital doctors most of whom are useless, and most if not all of whom will be on far higher levels of income within a few years of seniority.

That last reminded me of a major league baseball players’ strike when I lived in the USA over 30 years ago. The strike was bitter and crowned with success eventually. The demand was that all major league baseball players should get $100,000 a year minimum (I suppose you could at least double the value today). Not unreasonable, arguably, though it was several times the average pay of Americans as a whole. The joke was that only 1% of all major league baseball players at that time received pay of less than $100,000 anyway. Most were in the several hundreds of thousands a year, with a substantial minority getting over a million a year.

The “trans” nonsense has become utterly ridiculous. Having said that, women should not be boxing anyway.

Less than a month since GE 2024, and Starmer-Labour is already the “elected” dictatorship I predicted. I say “elected“, of course, because only 4 out of every 12 voters who voted, voted Labour (only 4 out of 20 of all eligible voters— 8 out of 20 did not vote at all).

We are not ruled by “Labour” or “Conservative” labels, but by NWO/ZOG puppets. There is no substantial difference between the “two main parties”.

…and there are “alternative” NWO/ZOG puppets, less important ones, too: “Tommy Robinson”, Reform UK, Farage, Tice etc.

“Zelensky: We will discuss the issue of Ukraine’s borders with the respective countries.

PROMISED TO DEVELOP A “PEACE ESTABLISHMENT PLAN” BY THE END OF NOVEMBER

Kyiv-based political scientist Andrei ZOLOTARYOV believes that Zelensky is “preparing to sell the truce to the Ukrainians as a victory.”

Washington Post: Armed forces of Ukraine exhausted, a critical situation is emerging for the Ukrainian army on the front with elements of “serious chaos”.”

Surely, if the Kiev-regime forces are exhausted, this is the moment for a general advance of Russian armour and infantry across eastern Ukraine, not for a truce, from the Russian point of view?

The US allowed the use of nuclear weapons because of Ukraine The United States may use nuclear weapons because of the desperate situation in Ukraine, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said in an interview with the YouTube channel Dialogue works. “The situation in Ukraine now is that the Russians have virtually defeated Ukraine, and so the United States has a choice between a humiliating defeat and perhaps dropping one of these low-yield nuclear weapons,” he said.

If the USA uses nuclear weapons on Russian forces, it can kiss goodbye to the top 50 American cities, including Washington DC, New York, LA, Philadelphia, Houston, Denver, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, and Boston.

Don’t instigate nuclear war. It could put humanity back thousands of years.

CASE UPDATE: the Court has approved a costs order in my case. The court has awarded me 90% of my costs of c£140k. I am grateful to the Defendants for agreeing undertakings. The question now is whether the Defendants’ former solicitor Mark Lewis (@MLewisLawyer) helps the Defendants. If the messages between the Defendants are right, it seems Lewis advised that my claim “would be dismissed swiftly” and my strategy was “laughable”. If that was the advice, it was extremely poor and very costly. My view is that Lewis should do the decent thing and help pay my costs.

[James Wilson]

Ha ha! Lewis “doing the right thing“? Very unlikely… I expect that the surviving defendants, Cantor and Mendelsohn, will eventually have to take action against Lewis (and the small law firm with which he is associated in London) in professional negligence or otherwise. The matter may also result, eventually, in Lewis appearing (again) before the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal. We shall see.

As I remarked in earlier blog posts around this matter, James Wilson strikes me as being far too “nice” to that (((pack))).

Incidentally, it has been repeatedly stated, from the Bench, in English courts that “antisemitism”, as such, is not a crime in England (neither, by the way, is so-called “holocaust” “denial”, meaning historical revision or revisionism).

The same msm “lack of interest” was around when, for example, Lewis was found guilty in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal about 6 years ago. There was a cloak of silence in the mass media about Lewis even having been prosecuted in the matter, and that continued after he was found guilty. The “usual” (((influence))) in the “British” Press, of course.

Only alternative media outlets or small professional legal magazines carry such reports, usually: see, e.g., https://skwawkbox.org/2023/08/02/pro-israel-lawyer-lewis-heavily-criticised-by-judge-for-conduct-of-case/.

Israel-based solicitor Mark Lewis has been heavily criticised by Mr Justice Nicklin in a recent High Court judgement.

Lewis is known for acting for Rachel Riley against Mike Sivier and Laura Murray, and for John Ware against Jewish Voice for Labour and Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi.

Lewis also acted for the late Dr Pete Newbon – a director of the notorious so-called ‘Labour Against Antisemitism’ (LAAS) group who was repeatedly disciplined by his employers for his behaviour on social media and was being sued by another of his victims – in his libel claim against Michael Rosen after Rosen had complained about Newbon’s tweeted misuse of Rosen’s famous ‘Bear Hunt’ book to attack former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

In the recent case, Lewis came unstuck when he was acting for Richard Davidoff of ABC Estates, a lettings and leasehold management firm. Lewis was seeking a court order requiring Google to disclose the identities of people with gmail addresses who had left negative reviews about ABC Estates on Trustpilot. The evidence in support of the court order was two witness statement by Lewis. The judge described Lewis’ evidence in general as “nothing more than assertion” and “perfunctory, even desultory” and “simply not good enough” to justify making the court order.

Things then got much worse for Lewis. He had stated that the Trustpilot reviews were “false, fabricated statements which Unknown person(s) know are untrue”. The judge conducted some online research himself and found that one of the reviews was true and based on the findings of another court. The judge said it was:

a matter of very real concern that the Claimants put evidence before the Court, on an ex parte application, that was not true.

The judge did not require Lewis to provide an explanation for the evidence that was “seriously in error” and accepted that Lewis would not have knowingly misled the court. The judge’s explained Lewis’ evidence as being:

because he had simply failed to carry out sufficient (or any) research or to take adequate instructions from his clients.

The judge also stated that there had been a “significant failure” by Lewis to comply with the general obligation of full and frank disclosure. The judge refused all the applications and the escapade is likely to have costs Lewis’ clients tens of thousands of pounds. Perhaps Lewis’ claim against Michael Rosen would have ended in the same way?

Mr Justice Nicklin’s full judgment is available here, with comments about Lewis’s contribution from paragraph 84 onwards.

Mark Lewis is a former director of UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) until his emigration to Israel and was involved in the relaunch of right-wing pro-Israel group Herut UK. UKLFI locked access to a YouTube video in which a panel discussed Lewis’s “very handy way of bankrupting organisations” the group considered to have done ‘wrong’. However, a transcript of the discussion is still available.

In 2018, Lewis was fined by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority for abusive speech on social media toward a young Labour-supporting critic and others. He responded to the judgment by accusing the SRA that:

faced with a choice between Holocaust denying neo-Nazis and a Jewish lawyer… It chose to side with the neo-Nazis.”

[Skwawkbox]

That was about yet another matter in which the often (and laughably-) described “top libel lawyer” behaved in an egregiously unprofessional matter.

The “Dr. Pete Newbon” mentioned in that piece was the third defendant in James Wilson’s case against the Jews Mendelsohn and Cantor. Newbon, a persistent and vicious social media troll, who had been disciplined by his employing university a number of times for his online and offline behaviour, committed suicide during the James Wilson legal case, having apparently deceived his, Newbon’s, wife about the fact that he was being sued, and about the reasons for that.

The funny thing is that, for years, the “British” mass media were quite content to puff Lewis (ludicrously inaccurately) as a so-called “top lawyer“, but I saw nothing in the mainstream Press about how, after having been found guilty in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018, Lewis’s own Counsel begged for mercy for him in terms of the fine to be imposed, because, he said, Lewis had no assets at all except for his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter!

Even Lewis’s own specially-adapted car (driven by him until he had an accident in early 2018, caused by his physical and mental incapacity) had been supplied free of charge to him by the DWP, via the Motability scheme.

Top lawyer“… My view has always been that Lewis is just a self-promoting chancer.

Wilson being “too nice” again. Those two Jews (the defendants) were only too happy to look forward to Wilson losing his family home if he lost the case. He did not lose his case. Now they cringe and cry and “apologise”, because they are, to put it in the language of the New Testament, “in the same condemnation“. It’s all so (((typical))).

Incidentally, I think that Mr. Justice Nicklin also was “too nice”, in saying that he was sure that Lewis had not intended to mislead the court in that 2023 High Court ex parte injunction application.

Having said that, the learned High Court judge did (though in other, and far more diplomatic, words) characterize Lewis as (in my words) a lazy, negligent bastard.

Lewis’s negligence is simply risible. God help anyone silly enough to retain or instruct him as solicitor.

My blog posts about Lewis from years ago (but updated) can be found here: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/; that post contains several links to other posts about the horrible bastard.

As to James Wilson’s matter, I have already blogged about it this year: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/04/21/diary-blog-21-april-2024-with-more-about-the-legal-case-wilson-v-mendelsohn-newbon-and-cantor/; and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/04/20/diary-blog-20-april-2024/.

More can be found using the search box on the blog.

In Wilson’s case, a number of Jews gave purported “evidence” for the defence, which testimony however the judge dismissed in polite but firm terms. They are all named and shamed on one of my previous blog posts.

One of that pack was the vituperative Jew-Zionist barrister and (until he was kicked off the Bench very recently) Recorder (p/t judge) Simon Myerson. His testimony was, to put it politely, given little weight by the learned judge.

Indeed, Myerson now seems again to be in trouble. He now not being on the Bench, the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office is not involved (this time— last time, he was given “words of advice”, i.e. mildly admonished); the Bar Standards Board, though, now seems, belatedly, to be taking an interest:

I shall watch any further developments with interest.

Twitter-twits have responded angrily, blaming Isabel Oakeshott or her personal partner, Tice, of Reform UK, or Farage, for the gradual descent of Britain into the swamp. A woman journalist, and two fairly minor politicians…

No, the major cause is the half century and more of mass immigration, which over the past 25 years has become a full migration invasion. Millions of mostly quite, or very, backward non-Europeans. That, and the decline of real culture and society in the UK. I know where I place the blame for most of that (the bit not caused by migration-invasion)… The “you-know-who” element.

I happened to see the following statement put out by Patriotic Alternative, which I partly republish out of a spirit of comity, and despite not being a member of PA:

This week we received the SHOCKING news that Sam Melia had been DENIED early release by the prison service! At a time when prisons are overflowing and the judiciary are routinely handing out suspended sentences to convicted sex offenders – Sam Melia, a man who published LAWFUL stickers, has been denied early release!

This is the latest in a string of miscarriages of justice aimed at breaking the spirit of Sam and his family. At this point, only one conclusion can be drawn: this is politically motivated persecution which is aimed at Sam due to his system of philosophical beliefs – a protected characteristic under European Human Rights legislation!

[Patriotic Alternative]

It will be recalled that Sam Melia was imprisoned for a notional 2 years in March of this year, meaning that he could expect release around 1 March 2025. However, earlier release, which has been granted to all sorts of hooligans and thieves etc by reason of prison overcrowding, has been denied to Melia.

Very unjust, bearing in mind the essentially trivial “crime” for which he was imprisoned; also, he has a wife and two small children (one only born this year and since Melia’s incarceration).

A crowdfunder set up for Melia, his wife (Laura Towler) and children now stands at over £67,000: https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia.

Thoughts about the Manchester Airport event

First of all, the full facts, in detail, are not publicly known; I certainly do not know them.

Having said that, a few things do occur to me. The most forceful policeman in the now-infamous video clip plainly went far beyond what was necessary. His prisoner or opponent was lying face down, hands apparently bound. He was apparently not moving at all. The policeman kicked him in the head, a hard kick which might have killed the prisoner. The policeman then stamped down hard —he was wearing boots— another assault that might also have killed the prisoner.

Secondly, the context is not on film; allegedly, an immediately-earlier assault by the Muslim family on a policewoman and another. I suppose that that policewoman was the young woman running around like a headless chicken in the video. Useless.

Thirdly, I noticed in the later video that another totally useless policewoman was there, doing nothing but being a useless extra body. There should probably be a rethink about the utility of policewomen in uniformed front-line roles, as UK society becomes ever-more violent.

Fourthly, the comment of Richard Tice MP of Reform UK, applauding the (apparent) over-reaction by one or two of the policemen, was predictably brainless.

Fifthly, the cartoon below is increasingly relevant in the UK:

Actually, another point also occurred to me as I watched a few minutes of TV news coverage: how many of the passengers seen in the background were non-European.

As frequently said on the blog, Starmer has no real ideas. Hopeless.

Trump is, obviously, a very flawed individual, but it is hard to imagine what kind of American would rather vote for Kamala Harris, a useless box-ticking careerist and know-nothing.

I suppose that the Democrats hope that she will capture the votes of the “blacks and browns” (etc), a simple racially-based preference based on the fact that she is mixed-race [father Jamaican, mother Indian Tamil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris#Early_life_and_education].

A third “world war” would be devastating, probably on a scale exceeding even that of the 1939-45 conflict. We can only hope that humanity, i.e. those individuals and groups with real power, pull back from the brink. If not, Europe, and quite likely Asia and North America as well, may face near-wipeout.

Nadine Dorries, pretty brainless freeloader though she is, is right about the semi-gangster milieu that has grown up, over two decades or more, in the centre of the “Conservative” Party. Given my head, I should know how to get rid of nuisances of that sort, but I am “not allowed” to detail that, in our “free” and supposedly liberal country.

The most important reform would be to the electoral system. As frequently recently noted on the blog, at the recent General Election and out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote, a clear repudiation of the political system, the voting system, and the “main parties”.

Of the remaining (12) voters who did vote, a mere 4 voted Labour, 3 Conservative, 2 each for Reform UK and LibDem (though Reform got far more votes), and 1 (not quite) voted Green.

That is Starmer-Labour’s mandate and support-base— 4 people out of every 20.

A few years old; now, much more money going to Israel.

London. Zoo.

Barwell, you idiot. Your views come close to treachery. In fact, I believe that they do constitute treachery, treachery in particular to the remaining real English people not only of London but of all England.

Like many another, I voted with my feet long ago, and now prefer to avoid London. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/06/30/diary-blog-30-june-2022-including-impressions-of-a-trip-to-dystopian-london/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/02/04/white-flight-in-a-small-country/.

Incidentally, I see that Barwell’s cretinous tweet has been seen by well over 2 million people, yet has been “liked” by only 2,000— one in every thousand. Barwell’s views may be mainstream in the Westminster monkeyhouse and in the System msm, but in the rest of the country his opinions are those of a small and wrongheaded minority.

Barwell really takes the biscuit for deliberately-obtuse failure to see what is right in front of him— the destruction of the social fabric of London (and the UK) by reason of mass immigration and its consequences.

Even if Barwell’s narrow point is true, and Charlotte Gill does not like “living in a diverse community” (read “a crime-ridden multikulti swamp”), so what? That is her choice or preference (and a good one too).

If Barwell is typical of many of the “Conservative” Party officials and politicians, then its near-collapse is far from hard to understand.

Jungle.

We know what needs to be done about this sort of thing, but are now “not allowed” to express it, in our wonderfully “liberal” “diverse” country…

I saw another tweet from that Barwell idiot:

Barwell’s knowledge of history is notable for its wrongheadedness. He is a know-nothing.

Sadly, tweeter “@Pauline51734996” also seems to know not so much about modern history, bearing in mind that WW2 is precisely why Britain was “bled dry“, the British people beggared for a decade after the “victory” of 1945 (some rationing in the UK lasted until 1955). “Pauline”, however, does not hold herself out as being capable of expert socio-political commentary, unlike Barwell.

Is Barwell aware that the Kiev regime is egregiously brutal, shambolic, corrupt, and tyrannical? No trade unions, no free press, no real opposition parties, no free speech (etc)? Press-gangs to force the many unwillingly into uniform? Those who have not managed to flee beyond the borders, that is. In fact, the Jew Zelensky is presently ruling illegally, having decided to ignore the fact that his presidential term expired some time ago (and he now refuses to hold an election).

A newspaper report about a young girl orphaned when her parents, as well as her two sisters, were killed on the road, it seems because an idiot was riding a motorbike on the wrong side of the highway, and at what must have been a tremendous speed.

The GoFundMe appeal set up for the orphaned girl (and publicized by that Daily Mirror report) had an initial goal of £3,000. It made that within an hour or two. The fund now stands, at time of writing, at nearly £250,000, on only the second day. It still increases. Enough to set the child up in life in every way.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-poppie

My point is that there is so much bad news, news about poor or even evil behaviour by people, that that often leads us to forget the immense power of goodness that also exists in the world.

That GoFundMe appeal has had a few large donations (£1,000, even £5,000), but much of the quarter-million pounds so far donated has been in smaller sums— £5, £10, £20. As someone once put it, discussing the Parable of the Widow’s Mite in the New Testament, “the radiation of the small coins“…

Heartening.

[Incidentally, it occurs to me that the orphaned girl will probably, presumably, eventually, be the beneficiary of any car insurance payout as well].

…once I had finally left the stifling climate on campus I became truly aware of how us Zoomers have been completely screwed over by the mainstream system. My parents, for example, were married, with one child, and onto their second property at the same age that I am now, despite not coming from any kind of wealth at all.

But the reality, today, for Zoomers like me, is that I will likely never be able to afford my own house, nor will I ever be able to pay off my university debt faster than the interest on it grows. Almost half of my monthly salary now goes on rent, meaning it is virtually impossible for me to save any money at all.

There is a listlessness that my peers and I feel – that I think is borne from the fact that we simply do not ‘own’ anything, nor can we put roots down anywhere. We are neither the ‘Somewheres’ nor ‘Anywheres’ British writer David Goodhart talks about; we have neither the means to join the Somewheres by putting down roots nor the desire to join the continually mobile, hyper-liberal Anywheres who eschew these roots for a sort of hedonistic, bohemian, and hyper-individualistic ‘life’. We are simply trapped.

Perfect recruits for a social-national upsurge in the near-future…

…and meanwhile, the “British” Government, egged on by the organized UK Jewish lobby, defends the Gaza cruelties.

I was unaware that Myerson had “resigned” (been kicked out, in my opinion) as a Recorder (p/t judge), albeit under the fig-leaf of having “resigned”, of course. His continuing toxic social media output made it almost inevitable. Someone such as Myerson should never sit in judgment over others. Unfit.

It seems that the judicial career of pro-Israeli judge Simon Myerson KC may be over, or at least stalled. Skwawkbox understands that Mr Myerson ceased to hold judicial office in early July 2024. It is unclear whether he resigned or was forced out after failing to curb his controversial behaviour on X/Twitter.

Myerson, a founder signatory of the anti-left so-called ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS) group who was a ‘Recorder’ judge and has denied that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, was disciplined by the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice in March after engaging in politically controversial issues in an offensive manner. The senior judges found that he had failed to maintain the standards of his judicial office.

Asked to comment on the case, a barrister who has worked with Myerson said:

Myerson’s conduct on social media has been very poor. Judges are supposed to ensure that their conduct, both in and out of court, maintains and enhances the public confidence in the judiciary. Myerson is consistently rude and patronising to people on social media and it reflects badly on the judiciary. I suspect a lot of judges will be glad to see him go because his conduct was becoming an embarrassment.”

[Skwawkbox]

Stalled“? No. Myerson is finished as far as the Bench is concerned. He should never have even been considered for such appointment.

Incidentally, Myerson is or was a leading light of a “charity” bringing Afghans to the UK. Typical.

This is what Myerson and his type are defending— Israeli war crimes.

No wonder that the msm drones (BBC or other) are so careful always to parrot System propaganda (whether Israel-lobby/Jewish-lobby propaganda, “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic propaganda, multikulti society propaganda, or whatever else). One wrong move and they are “cancelled”, so losing out hugely in money terms.

An extreme view but understandable when animal abuse is uncovered, as in the case of Charlotte Dujardin (of whom I had never heard until this evening).

Most racehorses are treated very well, and I am sure that that is true of showjumping as well, though I have had only occasional contact with the latter.

I trust that Charlotte Dujardin , the Queen of Team GB’s dressage team ( she has 3 Olympic gold medals) is banned for much longer than the provisional 6 months over a video showing her whipping her horse’s legs repeatedly so the animal performs to her liking. Makes you wonder what other cruelty she may have visited on her horses over the years. The incident was filmed four years ago in the UK at an educational establishment. It shows Dujardin , 39, hitting the horse on its legs during a piaffe- a slow trot. Another rider was on the horse. Why didn’t the other rider report Dujardin to the authorities straight away? Whoever was the whistleblower was clearly worried about the Dujardin reaction as they leaked it through a lawyer in Holland The International Federation of Equestrian Sports was sent the video yesterday and provisionally banned Dujardin, 39, for six months. With luck she will be kicked out completely. Dujardin then issued some mealy mouthed statement saying she had made an error of judgment. You mean you were caught. Very grateful to the whistleblower. Without him or her Dujardin may well have been carrying the flag at the opening of the Olympics as our most important athlete.

[Kelvin MacKenzie]

When I find myself in agreement with Kelvin MacKenzie, the world has certainly changed…

On the wider point, it seems to me that the whole Olympic circus is now no longer useful, let alone interesting.

Starmer-Labour is a kind of “elected” dictatorship, as well as being a basically Jewish/Zionist “project” (cf. “Blairism”). It was “elected” under a system of voting used by few other countries.

In rough terms, Starmer-Labour was voted for by only 4 out of every 12 people that voted, and out of every 20 of those eligible to vote. Its mandate is very weak.

[out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 chose not to vote at all, 4 voted for Starmer-Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results].

You see so many unthinking tweeters such as “@1aisTro11sBots”, who imagine that the headline result of GE 2024 reflects socio-political reality. No, it reflects an unfair and stupid voting system.

In a more restrained way, the same or similar msm puffery in the UK enabled Keir Starmer to appear solid and competent. Hardy ha ha…

Even if so, no more dishonest than the Cameron-Levita/Osborne Con government of 2010-2015 laying the blame for the world banking crash and the UK’s slide into decline on the British poor, unemployed, sick, and disabled. The whole Cameron-Levita “austerity” nonsense.

We have a sick political and mass media system.

ps. why is there no law prohibiting MPs from being called “Darren”? (only joking).

Helen Pitcher and the Criminal Cases Review Commission scandal

https://www.theguardian.com/law/article/2024/jul/18/ccrc-chair-helen-pitcher-rejects-call-to-resign-andrew-malkinson-case

The chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission has rejected calls from the justice secretary to resign after a report on its handling of the Andrew Malkinson case laid bare “a catalogue of failures”.

The new justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, said Pitcher was “unfit to fulfil her duties” and that she was seeking her removal in light of the findings. It is understood that she made her position clear to Pitcher on Thursday morning in the hope that she would resign.

But Pitcher said she was the “best person” for the job and that she had no intention of standing down.

James Burley, who led Appeal’s investigation into Malkinson’s case, said the report was “utterly damning” and detailed “a catalogue of failures by the CCRC”.

He said: “No one can doubt now that the CCRC is a broken safety net which sets the bar unreasonably high for innocent prisoners trying to clear their names. The CCRC must be completely overhauled.”

Yes, there is usually at least one useless woman of this sort sitting (well-paid, too), but doing nothing, when a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal sits. In 5-person tribunal cases (as mine was, in fact wrongly— it should have been a 3-person tribunal, which has no power to disbar) there are usually two such women (they always seem to be women, as on benches of lay magistrates), invariably a pair of unsmiling and stupid “bookends”. Useless box-tickers. See also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

I also became a lay representative on the Employment Appeal Tribunal and still hold this office.

I then joined the Queens Counsel (as it was then) Selection Panel and rapidly became its chair. Whilst there we improved the Diversity Statistics.

Again the “diversity statistics“… Why am I not at all surprised?

I held this role for 9 years. On stepping down, I decided not to apply for another role as I also had a burgeoning Consultancy and Portfolio Career. About 18 months later, however, an advertisement for the role of the Chair of the CCRC (Criminal Cases Review Commission) was brought to my attention.

Last year the role of Chairman at the JAC (Judicial Appointments Commission) became available. A Headhunter contacted me having uncovered my background on LinkedIn. I checked with the MoJ that there was no conflict of interest and submitted my application. On December 31st following a Justice Select Committee earlier in the month, I was appointed and took up the post on January 16th [2023].”

My role as chair involves leading the Board, ensuring appropriate oversight on governance and providing appropriate challenge and support to the executive. I am also involved in some of the most senior appointments.

I have rationalised my portfolio (which was a Commitment I gave to the JSC) in order to ensure I have the appropriate amount of time to devote to this key role.

You are holding this role for 3 years from January 2023, what are your aims/goals?

The strategic aims were already set, however they are due for a refresh as the period they covered draws to a close. These aims, which are developed in conjunction with the Board and executive, are on our website and thus in the public domain.

Our primary purpose set out by statute is to recruit on merit, our secondary (and no less important role) is to assist the rest of the judicial system to increase the diversity pool. It is for this reason that I also chair the Judicial Diversity Forum, which has a clear action plan to achieve its aims.”

So the secondary role is as important as the primary one? How muddled and wrongheaded is the stupid woman?

The interview is rather badly written, unfortunately, with superfluous upper-case here and there; as can be seen, it is the product of an Indian woman.

Well, there we have it. That greedy and plainly incompetent Pitcher woman has made a whole career, and no doubt a very lucrative one, out of “diversity”, tokenism etc. First of all, in her own person, by being a “token woman”, or one token woman, on commercial and quango boards. Secondly, by being a Trojan horse for more “diversity” and “inclusion” (etc) in important public offices.

Helen Pitcher, who seems to me to be a useless “diversity” box-ticker, has, inter alia, sat in the seat of judgment over employment appeal cases, over the cases of supposedly defaulting barristers etc, and has even been (and apparently still is) the head of the body which appoints judges, including those at the highest level.

cf. Paula Vennells [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Vennells] and Dido Harding [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dido_Harding] and many many others.

Helen Pitcher is, at time of writing, doing, and of course getting paid for doing, several different jobs simultaneously. She is probably making between half a million and a million pounds a year. For what? Ruining various bodies? Ticking various “diversity” and “anti-racism” boxes? Shoving our society further into the mire?

Look at how Helen Pitcher is clinging on to her CCRC role, presumably in order to maximize the money she gets before she is forced out. At least, that seems to me to be her motivation. Very telling, if so.

This latest scandal, including Helen Pitcher’s “march through the institutions”, is so typical of the way in which things generally have been allowed to develop in the UK in the past 30+ years.

You can see the way the UK is going, at least partly because of stupid and over-promoted women such as Helen Pitcher (and, yes, also men, not infrequently)— straight down.

God knows what state this country will be in in 2029 or 2034, let alone 2054 (which last I shall not have to witness, thank God, not from the Earth plane anyway).

Andrew Malkinson calls miscarriage of justice watchdog’s ex-head ‘shameless’

Helen Pitcher resigned from the CCRC saying she had been ‘scapegoated’ over Malkinson’s case

Emily DuganTue 14 Jan 2025 19.51 GMTShare

Andrew Malkinson has called the former head of the miscarriage of justice watchdog “shameless” as she resigned from the job saying she had been “scapegoated for entirely legitimate decisions” taken over his case.

Helen Pitcher handed in her resignation as chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) on Tuesday afternoon after learning that an independent panel had concluded by a majority of two to one that she was no longer fit to be chair.

In a letter to the justice secretary she said she felt that she had been chosen as a “scapegoat at an early stage” for the Malkinson case and that “a head had to roll and I was chosen for that role”.

Malkinson said: “Helen Pitcher’s attempt to portray herself as the victim here is shameless.

The Guardian revealed that Pitcher had been in Montenegro promoting her property business in the weeks after Malkinson’s conviction was overturned and the organisation was in crisis after its failure to apologise to him.

[Guardian]].

Her property business” (as well as all the rest)?

Helen Pitcher thus managed to blag another 6-7 months’ pay and expenses, and pension contributions, when she should have resigned in mid or early 2024.

Shameless” indeed, the horrible and avaricious old hag.

Summary of the Israeli strike according to what is known so far: – Approximately 25 F-15 and F-35 aircraft, accompanied by refueling planes, flew about 2000 kilometers toward the city of Hodeidah in Yemen.

– The strike was carried out in 8 waves.

-The attack destroyed fuel depots, inflicted damage on the port, and destroyed a power station north of the port.

– The fire is still burning and is expected to continue for several more days.

– There is a power outage across the entire region.

– The message of the strike is clear: this is not a strike on military targets (which has been done by the coalition over the past 9 months) but an attack on the already struggling Yemeni economy, causing significant economic damage.

– The attack on the port is a direct response to the damage Yemenis have caused to the port of Eilat.

– The message to the rest of the Middle East is also clear: the Bandar Abbas port and the Kharg Island, from where most of Iran’s oil is exported, are in Israel’s sights, as well as the port of Beirut.

– Israel has decided to take off the gloves; this is not a minor strike like those in Iran.

– The Houthis are threatening to retaliate, but it is unclear what the threat entails, as they have already attacked Israel 200 times.”

Middle East, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Far East. All now under threat of major regional wars.

Ukraine lines are collapsing. After 380 billions of aid pledged to Ukraine since the war begin; 118 billion are direct military aid; many countries literally emptied out entire inventory countless military units to give their weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine is STILL losing grounds everyday. Lost 5 towns in the past 48hrs. The fortress city of Krasnohorivka is falling as we speak; Russia threatens cut the Oskil Frontlines in half with the likely capture of Pishchane. Still not collapsing? This is not collapse of frontlines, then what is?

Back to the UK tomorrow. I’ve never had such dread about Britain. Coming back to London and knowing how unpleasant it’ll be. The demographic changes and feeling that [the UK] is most against Brits. The lack of functional media. The feeling something big has to happen to restore order.

[Charlotte Gill]

Plenty of Twitter-twits replying to all that and saying how wonderful London still (?) is, but I lived in (mostly) Central or near-Central London, on and off, for 22 years (1976 to 1998, though spending also many years either elsewhere in the country or overseas), and I should not want to live there today: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/06/30/diary-blog-30-june-2022-including-impressions-of-a-trip-to-dystopian-london/.

I have not been to London since that brief visit in 2022, and am glad of it. I no longer have the Rolex watches I had 25+ years ago (or want them, or need them, or can afford them) but, if I did, I think that they would not stay on my wrist very long in the London of 2024.

Why can people who should know better not accept the truth that is in front of their eyes? In a word, deluded.

One aspect of London that seems to have radically improved in recent years, though, is the public transport network. New lines, new trains, new ways of travelling around the conurbation. Crossrail/Elizabeth Line for one. I do not speak, however, from personal experience of the new lines, just from what I have read online.

Well over 20 years ago, in 2000, I happened to meet and get to know (somewhat), in Bournemouth, a young blonde woman (20 or so) I first encountered in a photography shop, and who was very proud of her father, vice-Chancellor of (if I remember aright) Lancaster University. She talked about him rather a lot, and thus I learned that (again, if I remember aright) his salary was over £200,000 a year, which would be pretty good even today, by most people’s standards. In fact, the Bank of England online calculator shows that you could almost double that in today’s money. So today— maybe £400,000.

The tertiary educational sector in the UK has been a kind of “rotten borough” for a long time. At least 30 years.

Matt Goodwin

I notice that the “alt-Right” (?) academic and commentator, Matt Goodwin, has retweeted a tweet about the UNRWA by the malicious and publicity-seeking Jew-Zionist org, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. Foolish. The credibility of that malicious cabal is shot; even most pro-Israel Jews are against its activities and behaviour. By retweeting the “CAA”, Goodwin risks his own credibility too.

My understanding was that Japan had withdrawn from whale hunting in the Southern Ocean, and would only be whaling in Japan’s own Exclusive Economic Zone [EEZ]. Maybe I was too optimistic: see https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/30/asia/japan-whaling-mothership-kangei-maru-intl-hnk/index.html; and https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/may/02/japan-whale-meat-industry-kangei-maru-mother-ship.

I do not trust Japanese intentions.

The Japanese only have one new whaling ship, though…

Many of us are well aware of what will eventually have to be done, but we are “not allowed” to say it, let alone do it…

I agree with that. Michelle Obama? Maybe not so easily defeated. All the blacks would vote for her, for a start.

If anyone other than Trump takes on the U.S. Presidency, the Americans will be staring civil war in the face. The rest of the world (as well as the USA) will be staring at, quite likely, a world war, starting (like the first two “world” wars) in Europe.

An omen.
