No mention of exploitation by the Jewish-Zionist element, though? Quelle surprise…I suppose that that would be part of the last thing mentioned by Goodwin, to be very kind about it.

Yet the Jew-Zionist lawyers so prominent in the UK still quibble about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, i.e. that such actions are not “war crimes”. Really?

Several members of the North Atlantic Alliance are already training soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in that country, said Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kalas in an interview with the “Financial Times” .

If a Russian shell hits the training personnel, it will not trigger Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which provides for a collective response in the event of an armed attack on one or more member states of the Alliance, Callas said.

We remind you that the Russian side has repeatedly emphasized that the delivery of weapons to Ukraine and the training of Ukrainian soldiers, which the West is doing, only prolongs the conflict and does not change the situation on the battlefield.”

Which would be the correct metaphor for what some NATO states are doing? “Playing with fire”? “Re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic”?

Simon Myerson

Regular readers will have seen material recently about Simon Myerson, the Jew-Zionist lawyer who is both barrister and Recorder (p/t judge), and whose sworn testimony as “witness” apparently failed to sway the judge in the recent case of Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon and Cantor .

See —re. the above— previous blog posts and/or the tweets of James Wilson, an academic who was the chosen prey of a pack of Jewish Zionists, but who beat them soundly in court (one defendant killed himself, and the other two are apparently now insolvent, with at least one likely to have to sell his family home to satisfy the Claimant’s damages and legal costs, that defendant having apparently been “misadvised” by the egregious and self-publicizing Israel-based solicitor, Mark Lewis, who may now be sued in professional negligence).

See James Wilson’s tweets here: https://x.com/per_incuriam2.

I have just noticed that, even just taking today as example, Myerson has, by time of writing (1706) tweeted some 28 times today, of which 13 were in the past hour. Is this normal (for tweeters generally)? I think not.,

Someone as ideologically-fanatical and obsessed as Myerson should not be sitting in judgment on others. He has already been told off once by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office. Boot him out. https://www.complaints.judicialconduct.gov.uk/.

Devout Christian doctor, 68, who punched dementia-sufferer in the head after being racially abused is the fifth health worker from single hospital to be jailed in the last year. Dr Xowi Mwimbi, 68, has been jailed for 12 months for punching the patient.

Staggeringly, Mwimbi is the third health professional to be jailed for mistreating patients at the Lancashire hospital in the past 12 months.

Last December a nurse and a healthcare worker at Blackpool Victoria Hospital’s stroke unit were jailed for ill-treatment after a court heard patients were sedated for an ‘easy shift’ and their own ‘amusement’.

A fourth member of staff, ‘predatory’ healthcare assistant Hernando Puno, 52, was jailed for nine months last May for sexually assaulting female colleagues.

A fifth was locked up for stealing medication.

The savagery of a bygone age, come to life again in our times. Europe must create a civilization without savagery, and without savages (from either side).

Not something from which I myself suffer, thank God, but such conditions are more widespread than often thought. The social security system as at present constituted is designed (especially since 2010 and the influence of Dunce Duncan Smith, aka “IDS”) to attack the sick and disabled, and to make them jump through hoops, rather than to help them.

God. That stupid woman talking rubbish is actually the Prime Minister of Estonia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaja_Kallas. Her father was also Prime Minister of Estonia.

Personally, I think that the Baltic states, or pribaltika as the Russians call them, have every right to self-determination, but their leaders have now gone well beyond that, in becoming puppets of NATO, or really of NWO/ZOG.

Zahawi and many like him (not only Kurds like him, but also Pakistanis, Indians, Jews, Arabs etc) have brought the ethos of the Middle Eastern and South Asian bazaars to Westminster. Many English MPs are no better now. Just unclean.

Interesting, though the headline is a little misleading. Arnhem was, after all, at a time when the main action was not on the admittedly very active Western Front but the ever-rolling-westward Red Army on the Eastern Front.

The amusing aspect is that anyone should be surprised about it all. Give tens of millions or more to a load of black “activists”, and then wonder “where the money went“? Ha ha.

Interesting way of looking at it…

Extradition or continuation of legal battles – Assange faces a decisive trial on May 20.

The “court saga” of journalist Julian Assange, which has been dragging on for more than ten years, could end in the UK as early as Monday. Assange faces a May 20 hearing in London’s High Court that could result in him being sent to the United States to face espionage charges or give him another chance to appeal his extradition, ABC News reports.

The outcome of the case will depend on how much weight the judges place on assurances from US officials that Assange’s rights will not be harmed if he stands trial in the US. As the publication explains, London judges must rule on whether the court has satisfied Washington’s guarantee that Assange will not face the death penalty and that he can rely on the right and freedom of speech provided for by the First Amendment of the US Constitution if he is tried for espionage in United States.

Assange’s lawyers say the journalist could be on a plane across the Atlantic within 24 hours of the decision, or his case could again drag on for months of legal battles.

If Assange is extradited, he may not face the death penalty (for telling the truths the System did not want told) but may face 10, 20, 50, 100 years (sentence) in some American “Supermax” giant tomb.

What a disgrace, that the UK is so craven in respect of the USA these days. Long ago, America was our colony; now we are America’s colony.

Well, just managed to beat political journalist John Rentoul this week; he has claimed a score of 7 and a half out of 10, but I trumped that with 8/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1 and 6.

…and only (by my count) 19 Conservative Party MPs. Out of several hundred.

Both main parties of the System are signed up to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

Jewish woman, one Zoe Grunewald, wants the UK (not herself personally, of course; she probably lives in a leafy suburb or other area far from the terrible society that is already developing by reason of migration-invasion) to take millions of “refugees”.

I also disagree with her view that “we” (British people) feel “proud” that “we” accepted Jewish “refugees” in the 1930s. Many of us actually think that that was a catastrophic error.

In principle, there are maybe 800 million people worldwide who, under the present framework, might have a “legitimate” claim to be granted asylum. Add to that the hundreds of millions who might make claim to asylum illegitimately, and you see the point— the UK cannot, could never take a billion or more persons, a number about 15x the present UK population.

It is often said that that would never happen, that the number who might come here is far lower. Perhaps, but then what is that number? 150 million (which would triple the existing UK population)? Even that would completely collapse our present society. Lower yet, say 75 million? That would still double the existing UK population, and would also shatter our society, irrevocably.

At present, about a million migrant-invaders are coming to the UK each year. Most are not “asylum-seekers”, but that is irrelevant; all that matters is the total number.

Matt Goodwin should have made those points, not his poor point about how a couple of foreign girls in the UK put paraglider motifs on their clothing after the October 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas operatives.

Three-dimensional chess?

Soldiers are furious with Zelenskiy.

“Since the end of the hostilities is not in sight, the Ukrainian army has difficulties in recruiting personnel, and the fighters are increasingly exhausted and dissatisfied due to the lack of rotation” , writes “The Guardian”.

Many soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been at the front for more than two years without the possibility of demobilization.

At long last, the truth is coming out about the corrupt, brutal and shambolic dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky and his cabal.

Soon, the Kiev regime’s front lines will crumble, and the Russian forces will be able to roll across the eastern part of Ukraine, i.e. the lands east of the Dnieper. Once Kharkov falls, or is bypassed, there will be nothing to stop Russian forces from occupying those huge areas indefinitely.

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

One side-effect of the continuing Israeli crimes (whether they be officially labelled “war crimes” or not) is that the —in any case, steadily weakening— effect of the Jewish/Israeli “holocaust” propaganda re. the early 1940s is yet further diluted, if you like.

The peoples of the world are already bored to tears by that mainly post-1950s barrage in films, TV series, books, msm references.

People now say or think, in effect, “whatever happened in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, or the Pribaltika, happened 80+ years ago. Soon, it will be a century ago. We are more interested in what is happening now, not what happened or did not happen, or partly happened, 80 or 100 years ago“…

Sergei LAVROV: The West has started to promote the blatantly false thesis that Putin will not stop in Ukraine and will go further.

Now the rhetoric is: Putin will defeat Ukraine and then attack us.

The West is using the myth of an imaginary Russian threat to intensify the arms race.

The contours of a new European military alliance with a nuclear component are even being formed Regarding Xi Jinping’s initiative on global security: “There are every reason to promote the idea that global security starts with the creation of the foundations of Eurasian security without Euro-Atlantic admixtures… The relations between Russia and China go beyond the classic alliances.”

That “Putin will invade Western Europe” nonsense was being broadcast or printed in the UK/USA (etc) msm right from the start, in 2022.

Meanwhile, in the background, almost obscured by the daily “war” news from Gaza and Lebanon, the enemies of Israel, and the Iranians in particular, are creating more and more powerful and accurate missiles, some of which will eventually carry nuclear warheads. Israel is living on borrowed time.

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/money/article/2024/may/15/landlords-selling-up-england-homelessness-renting

More than 2,000 households a month are facing homelessness in England because private landlords say they are selling up, with some blaming uncertainty caused by government delays to renting reforms.

Official figures show that more than four in 10 families who have asked councils for temporary housing after a private landlord ended their tenancy are in the predicament because the owner told them they were putting the property on the market.

Despite increasing demand, the supply of private housing available to rent is still 50,000 homes below pre-pandemic levels, figures from Rightmove show. The total number of privately renting households, including those in stable accommodation, has hovered around the 4.5m mark for the last decade, according to the English Housing Survey. In that time, England’s population grew by 3.2 million, equivalent to 1.4m households.

[The Guardian]

Look at the effect of mass migration aka migration invasion: In the last decade alone, the UK population grew by 3.2 MILLION…

Islington North

The Labour Party is to select its candidate to fight Islington North in the expected 2024 General Election. Jeremy Corbyn, the former Labour leader, sacked from Labour by Israel and Jewish lobby puppet Keir Starmer, has not been invited to apply.

Corbyn presently sits as Independent, but was elected at Islington North for Labour in every general election since 1983. At that first election, Corbyn and Labour scored a vote-share of 40.4% (Con 25.3%, SDP 22.4%), but since then Corbyn has never received less than 50% of the total vote, and usually above 60%, peaking in 2017 (when he was Labour leader) at 73% (Con 12.5%, LibDems 9%). At the most recent general election, in 2019, Corbyn scored 64.3% (LibDems 15.6%, Con 10.2%).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islington_North_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s

The huge unknown is what percentage of the voters voted for Corbyn, and what percentage voted for the Labour label.

Usually, voters vote by label. Few indeed are the instances where a candidate who has been cast out by his or her party, and who has then stood as Independent (or for a small party) then been re-elected. Most face ignominious defeat. However, Islington North may be different.

There has never been a case where a party leader has been expelled, in effect, from his own party, and has then stood as Independent in the constituency that he has represented for 41 years and is still, at time of writing, representing.

Corbyn is very high profile, and of course has been the MP since 1983, over 40 years.

It seems that local Labour has been frozen out of the selection process, and that Starmer or his minions on the Labour NEC will select the candidate. Apparently, there are several not-unlikely possibilities, and a few political chancers, such as faux-revolutionary (and System msm drone) Paul Mason, will probably also apply.

Assuming that Corbyn does stand (as Independent), I think that he might be able to win the election, and I should put his likely vote-share at somewhere around 30%-40%. The official Labour candidate will probably also get about 30%-40%.

There is likely to be a Reform UK candidate, who will probably get below 5%, and possibly (as with UKIP and Brexit Party in previous elections) only around 1% or 2%. The Conservative candidate will almost certainly struggle to get over 10% and, in the present circumstances, may be in lost-deposit territory, below 5%.

It is possible that the LibDem candidate will score over 10%; hard to say.

My view is that, if Corbyn does stand, it will be a straight fight between him and whosoever is selected as the official Labour candidate. Corbyn surely has every chance, if he stands (I think that he will).

As previously blogged, not even 1997 was 1997 (as popularly now understood); Labour received only 43.2% of the popular vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_United_Kingdom_general_election.

The 1997 General Election passed me by; I was in the middle of living for a year in Kazakhstan, was busy with everyday and not-so-everyday things, and did not have a satellite (or any other) TV; also, BBC World Service radio reception from the UK was very poor by reason of the nearby mountains (Almaty is on the lower slopes of the Tien Shan) and the remoteness from Europe etc.

I was and am willing to believe that “Captain Tom” meant well (though the whole stunt was basically brainless), but his daughter and her husband were very obviously riding it for all it was worth from the start. Disgraceful people.

The msm went along with it all because it tended to reinforce the “panicdemic”/”scamdemic” narrative of the times, the “Covid” craziness, “clapping for the NHS”, and other related nonsense.

See also: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3gxg4jd0ggo, which is well worth reading. An important investigation. These “grifters” should be hounded and prosecuted, not least because they destroy trust in the whole concept of charity and giving.

I myself gave a couple of small donations to that supposed quasi-charitable org. That’s a tenner I shall never get back. Not a fortune, true, but that “grifter” has thereby deprived me not only of a good feeling but also £10 with which I could have bought a couple of Lottery scratchcards. Never mind. If I ever meet him, I shall recover my money from the bastard in person.

I have blogged previously, several times, about this contemporary disease of online “grifters”— “Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas, the Anglo-Cypriot fraudster known as the “Bootstrap Cook”), “Supertanskiii” (grifts money via her pathetic Twitter/X account which pretends to be doing pro-Labour political campaigning via swearing at “the Tories”), “Man Behaving Dadly” (a Jew called Simon Harris, who “grifted” hundreds of thousands of pounds, like “Jack Monroe”, from gullible members of the public, and also cheated Essex County Council out of about £600,000).

Many others exist, including Julia Grace Patterson, a woman who worked as a very junior NHS doctor for about 2 years before deciding that it was easier to live from online “grifting” in various ways, while also posing online as some kind of champion of the crumbling NHS.

The Essex Police seem to be red-hot when it comes to supposedly “racist” teddy-bears, or jumping on legitimate free speech at the behest of the Jewish lobby, but not much use when it comes to frauds like the above (all based in Essex, apart from Depher UK).

Well, when they are gone, that’s Ukraine’s future as a nation and people pretty much gone too. The birthrate is already far lower than replacement level, and about a third of the pre-2022 population is now outside Ukraine.

What might be called “the Reduction of the Gaza Ghetto”.

Don’t forget the main one—Israel, aided by the Jewish lobby within the USA, embedded in politics, finance, TV, radio, newspapers, publishing, and business.

Exactly.

Simon Myerson

Many readers will be aware of the social media presence of a Jew-Zionist called Simon Myerson, a barrister and Recorder (part-time criminal and civil judge), whose toxic social media presence has led to his being given formal “words of advice” (equivalent to a caution) by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.

I have blogged a little about Myerson in the past; he used to tweet obsessively about me and others, and is tied up with the two organizations who have tried to persecute me over the past 10-12 years, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].

Recently, Myerson’s sworn testimony in the civil case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor was discounted by the judge, along with that of other unreliable Jewish witnesses (Nathan Comiskey, Joanne Bell, Adam Cailler).

The Jewish defendants lost out, and at least one may have to sell his family home to pay the costs of the Claimant, he (the defendant in question) plainly having been misadvised by self-seeking Israel-based Mark Lewis and others.

One defendant, Newbon, another obsessed Zionist, committed suicide during the trial. The attempt to ruin a university lecturer, James Wilson, and make money out of it for Lewis and the defendants, backfired spectacularly.

Despite the above, Myerson is still practising at the Bar, and (as far as I know) still sitting as a Recorder.

He is an obsessive, like so many of “them”. Here we are at 1300 hrs on a Thursday afternoon, and Myerson has already tweeted 39 times today by my count, starting at about 0800 hrs this morning. So about 8 times per hour, for 5 hours (so far).

I have no idea whether his practice is busy or not.

Should Myerson be sitting in judgment over the fate of British people?

For more on that specific legal case and the fallout therefrom, see previous posts on this blog and/or the tweets of the successful and brave Claimant in the case, James Wilson: https://twitter.com/per_incuriam2.

Here’s an angry email from Patron’s partner Alexander Zivancevic. My view is that there is no blackmail, there is no harassment, there are no threats, and there are no mindless emails. My position is: Patron Law led its clients – Mr Mendelsohn, Dr Newbon and Mr Cantor – into disaster. And Patron Law ought to pay to get them out. Mr Zivancevic is annoyed and threatening because all this is going to cost him some cash. But it’s fair enough that he coughs up some cash to protect Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor? What do you think?”

I myself have no idea whether the defeated and possibly insolvent Jewish defendants will now seek to sue Mark Lewis and others, including Patron Law, on the basis of professional negligence, but it seems that that is a distinct possibility, if not probability.

Lewis himself has no property in this country, having “relocated” (fled?) to Israel several years ago. Indeed, just before he left, and at the time of his “conviction” in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 (for violently insulting people on Twitter etc), and just before he moved “permanently” to Israel, his own Counsel pleaded that he should not be fined too heavily because his “only assets” were his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter. Even his car had been provided for him for free, paid for by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers, via the DWP-connected Motability scheme. The so-called “top libel lawyer” (according to the tabloid Press in years past)…

Egregious on its own, but also interesting in that Lewis is apparently a partner in that Jewish or mainly Jewish law firm, Patron Law, based in West London. If Lewis is sued (successfully), it may be the case that the other partners of that firm will be jointly and severally liable, if joined to the putative or potential action.

I hesitate to be unequivocal on this, because I have not practised at the Bar since 2008, and was (albeit wrongfully and unlawfully) disbarred for political reasons in 2016: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

It is not unlikely that the laws of both libel and business or professional partnership have changed over the past few years. I no longer bother to keep up with most legal changes.

Well, there it is, my opinion (which must now come with a non-governmental health warning…).

I have to say that Mr. Wilson is a far more forgiving man than I am. Those Jewish defendants were trying to ruin Wilson and, even if they have been used and bamboozled and manipulated by their fellow Jews, deserve to suffer the consequences of their own badness, in my opinion.

Blackmail?! Well there’s a coincidence. It is so weird. Before the “meanings” judgment was signed off and approved in my case, reading the draft I could see that it was not going well for the other side, that there would likely be further publicity which might be damaging to them and I did not want to cause them any harm. Like the old Buddhist hippy I am, via my sols, I made an offer that was pretty much in the same terms as the settlement we eventually ended up with, suggesting settlement before the judgment was handed down, and then we could ask the judge if he’d be willing not to hand down judgment in those circumstances. My offer was refused as “blackmail”. The judgment was delivered, and published on the BAILII website. The other side then settled. I don’t get it.” [tweeter Cremant Communarde “@0Calamity”]

…or maybe it’s just a (((you know who))) thing…

Needless to add, a “moral case” would not cut it; only a clear legal case would do that.

I wish Mr. Wilson good luck, and victory.

Regular readers will have seen that I recently had a slight disagreement with my wife over whether we should give to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance via some fellow who knocked uninvited at the door. I was unsure whether he was bona fide or not.

I later tried to contact the air ambulance people, only to discover that their telephone (the real one— I looked it up online) is an automated message which then switches to a line that then goes dead almost immediately. I emailed them via their own website but (about a week on), I have had no reply, nor even an acknowledgment.

I believe their CEO gets about £150,000 a year, maybe more, and that their total administrative staff salary spend (ie not pilots, not doctors etc) is about £700,000 a year. P*** poor.

I myself would never now give to Hampshire Air Ambulance, whether or not the bozo at the door was bona fide.

People should be banned from fundraising at the door anyway; it’s an open invitation to rip off householders.

The same goes for most of the larger charities as well. The higher-up staff are often getting £100,000, £200,000, even £400,000 a year. Forget it.

He has completely missed the point that he owns the house! Is this not fraud? After Captain Tom foundation debacle – nothing is sacred anymore. Money corrupts people. I for one will not give to charities like this again.” [tweeter Martina J, “@MartinaJ70”].

I can only agree.

Ha ha! Tweeter “@ACSpinner” has obviously slept through the past 2-3 years or more, during which time “Jack Monroe” has been comprehensively exposed as not only a “grifter” but a literal fraudster (though for some reason unknown, she has not as yet been prosecuted).

Quite so. The Kiev regime, as I have blogged for over a year now, is running out of soldiers, even the untrained cannon-fodder which has been pointlessly dying in waves over the past two years. As for those “unprepared defensive lines“, they merely emphasize the shambolic and corrupt nature of the Kiev regime.

The Kiev regime has run out of “useful idiots” willing to volunteer to be killed or crippled on the chaotic and crumbling front lines. The foreign idiot virtue-signallers (unemployed Brit ex-private soldiers and adventure junkies, American Soldier of Fortune readers etc) have long since gone home, or been killed. Kiev now press-gangs people off the streets to be sent —on pain of the firing squad— to the front. Few will return. No wonder they put up a serious fight before they are “recruited” and have to face the guns.

The Russian army is reportedly advancing on the Kharkov front, with reports indicating a storming of Liptsy. Ukrainian sources confirm the developments, stating that Russian infantry is launching attacks from the forest west of Lukyantsy, situated on the eastern outskirts of Liptsy. Heavy fighting is also reported west of Volchansk in the areas of Burgovatka and Starytsya, according to other Ukrainian sources.

Answer: NO.

Hard, in a sense, to see what that snake-oil salesman would add to Reform UK’s limited popular appeal, especially after his recent frenzied pro-Israel soundbites, but then I am not a typical voter. Parties need leaders, either that or at least figureheads.

If Farage takes up the reins of Reform UK, and if that boosts its vote-share from last week’s 18% to 26%, and if the extra 8 points come equally out of the Con and Lab vote-share, leaving Cons on 14%, Labour on 44%, LibDems on 9% and Greens on 7%, the result might be Labour with 490 Commons seats, Reform UK with 57, LibDem 55, Con 6, and Greens 2. [calculation via Electoral Calculus https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html].

Is that possible? The uncertainty alone speaks volumes. It seems impossible… and yet…

That would put Reform UK into Parliament as second-largest party, and official Opposition. As for the Conservative Party, 6 MPs and a very very poor fourth place; for them, it would probably mean the end of the road.

If Sunak, the little Indian money-juggler, were to lose his seat, he would not even have to find a reason to relocate, with his immensely rich wife, to California. If so, good riddance.

Even were Labour to ebb to 40%, and the Cons to recover to 18% (where one opinion poll had them last week), that would still leave the Cons with a mere 35 MPs (Lab 435, LibDems 58, Greens 2, but Reform UK with 79 MPs!

A party has to get well beyond 20% to get any seats at all under the UK’s FPTP voting system, but if it can get 25%+, it may hit the jackpot.

We shall have to wait and see, but the situation looks dire for the treacherous and incompetent Con Party, and I doubt whether the latest pseudo-1940 “fight on the beaches” appeal, featuring the Indian money-juggler and the Jew Shapps (he of the 5 fake identities and the Israeli Bnai Brith membership) will do anything, except confirm that the voters will vote “ABC” (“Anywhere But Conservative”).

Talking point

I happened to be out early in the car this morning, and tuned in to the Radio 4 Today Programme for a few minutes. I caught most (I think) of an interview with a retired general, only a year older than me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Shirreff.

The general seemed to want, or want to risk, a war with Russia, and seemed totally signed-up to support for “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime). He wants “the Ukrainians” (Kiev regime) to be given more and more-powerful weapons, so that they can attack Russia, and far deeper inside Russia.

That’s what you do in war, attack the enemy“, proclaimed the desk warrior (his only active “war” command a few months in the Gulf in 1991, as a major, and aged 36).

When the interviewer hesitantly wondered whether that might lead to all-out war between NATO and the Russian Federation, he seemed sanguine about that awful possibility.

The general also seemed to miss the point that, while the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev may be at war with the Russian Federation, we in the UK are not…; not yet, anyway, no thanks to people like him.

Britain has not been well-served by its chocolate soldiers of recent times, and it seems to me that their very limited-in-scope yet gung-ho pseudo-macho posturing might yet lead this country into becoming the target of Russia’s vast nuclear arsenal.

When I started at the (English) Bar in 1993 (I had been Called to the Bar a couple of years before that but was living in the USA), I did some criminal cases, mostly in the magistrates’ courts in London, and also some Crown Court trials. Most of the defendants were non-white. To some extent, that reflected the rather rackety chambers I was in, but not only that; most serious criminal defendants in London were non-white, mostly West Indian. That must be even more so in 2024, over 30 years later. That, despite the fact that, in 1993/1994, the proportion of non-whites in London was probably only about 10% to 20% (it’s 46% in 2024).

As for relatively recent migrants, say those who have “arrived” in the past two decades, it is hardly surprising that they commit a huge amount of crime: most are young or youngish men, few even speak English beyond a “pidgin” level, few have any marketable skills, and few have any money (though they must have had some previously in order to have been able to buy their passage from the people-smugglers).

Russia only needed one crack in Ukraine’s defenses to increase its vulnerability – The New York Times.

Recent Russian offensives in eastern and northeastern Ukraine are beginning to “dangerously” change the geometry of the front for Kyiv. The “sudden” breakthrough of Russian troops in Ocheretino illustrated how even a small crack in the defense line can cause a cascading effect, threatening already stretched platoons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with encirclement from the flanks, writes The New York Times.

The publication spoke with Ukrainian soldiers and commanders on the front line. They acknowledged that they were in a more vulnerable position than at any time since the “first harrowing weeks” of the conflict.

Moscow is trying to use the window of opportunity that has opened. Its army is increasing pressure in the Donbass and is seeking to open a new front by attacking Ukrainian positions along the northern border near Kharkov.

According to the publication, months of delays in American assistance, a growing number of casualties and an acute shortage of ammunition led to dire consequences for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This is evidenced by the exhausted faces and tired voices of Ukrainian soldiers.

“To be honest, I’m scared,” the commander of a Ukrainian tank battalion told The New York Times. “Because if I don’t have shells, people, equipment with which my people can fight… then this is the end.

A city suffering blackouts has a strange atmosphere. When I relocated (for a year) to Almaty, Kazakhstan, in 1996, blackouts were an everyday occurrence, affecting various areas of the city in turn, even the “Presidentsky District” (the governmental and diplomatic quarter) where I lived. I have blogged in the past about this.

A typical example of the shambolic brutality of the Zelensky dictatorship.

Difficult questions this week. I scored 4/10, but even that very modest score was enough to trump that of political journalist John Rentoul, who managed only 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 5, 6, and 7. I came close (in my opinion, anyway) to getting no. 2 as well.

Talking point

Interesting. Well worth an hour of anyone’s time.

I liked the comment from a 90-something ex-soldier who said that, looking at Britain in the 21stC, he wishes that Hitler had successfully invaded in 1940 (in fact, there never was a serious plan to invade the UK: Hitler wanted alliance with the British Empire, not to conquer it. “Operation Sealion” [Fall Seelowe] was never more than a contingency plan and/or a smokescreen with which to lull Stalin into a false sense of security prior to Barbarossa).

I also liked the several comments by old soldiers now wishing that they had fought for Hitler.

Starmer’s priorities are: 1. Whatever Israel and the Jewish lobby want; 2. To eliminate any remaining free speech (and refer to previous priority); 3. To destroy what is left of Britain as a real nation, rather than a geographic space filled with globalized economic entities, including humanoid entities (and refer to no.1 above); 4. The self-interest of “Labour” politicians and hangers-on [e.g., most recently, Ayesha Hazarika].

They should have been kicked into the gutter and stamped on. They are nothing but sub-terrorists, using their age and sex as a shield.

Just Stop Oil is a pathetic excuse for a cause or ideology; worthless.

Those ridiculous old “entitleds”, crowing about their “Christian” faith, will try to destroy a (genuine) “national treasure”, but probably welcome the migration-invasion which will destroy this country and its society long before any “climate change” (however caused).

Typical msm scribbler thinks that “govt” can “solve poverty”. That depends on various other factors. In the case of the UK, you have importation of around a million unwanted immigrants every single year now, a fact which scribbler Paul Lewis ignores. Simply ignores. As if to say “million immigrants a year? Irrelevant. Just build more houses for them” (for these mostly useless parasites). Oh, and give them cash, and medical services, and schools for their offspring (etc).

4 million? Try 12…(and, by 2034, 25M, or more).

I doubt whether scribbler (posing as an economist) Paul Lewis has much real expertise in the economics of a state or a society (about your electricity or gas bill, maybe; I do not know).

Both lots of demonstrators are deluded in their own ways.

I used to go to Brighton Beach (New York) occasionally. Early 1990s. It was a largely Russian-speaking neighbourhood then. There was a large shop selling good bread, and pickled herrings and cucumbers etc.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

Macron is an idiot. France would not survive war (totally pointless and unnecessary war) with Russia. One Sarmat-2 missile might take out, i.e. destroy, about 90% of the whole of France. I value France, where I lived for 3-4 years; I do not want to see that beautiful country destroyed.

Macron is yet another puppet of the Israel/Jewish lobby: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/, my assessment of Macron from 5+ years ago.

Worth reading the explanation.

That case is a good example of how some Jewish lawyers abuse the English legal system. See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/.

Mr Justice Nicklin said this in another case: “It is likely that this error occurred because he [Mr Lewis] had simply failed to carry out sufficient (or any) research or to take adequate instructions from his clients.

[per James Wilson]

Dishonest and incompetent…

Both Mark Lewis and Daniel Berke are fanatical Jew-Zionists. Lewis even lives, some or most of the time, in Eilat, Israel.

As said, both dishonest and incompetent, in the case of Lewis. As to Daniel Berke, I have no idea of how competent or incompetent he is in the civil law field (I read that he is a criminal solicitor), but on the face of the above, he seems as incompetent as Lewis.

As I opined some time ago, there seems to have been professional negligence on the part of Lewis, and that may now apply to Berke as well.

Incidentally, Berke also opines about “antisemitism” being connected to “mental illness”:

Seems that Berke’s knowledge of both “antisemitism” and mental illness is as sketchy as his knowledge of civil procedure seems to be. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/ [updated consistently], in which I examined the incontrovertible links between Jew-Zionism, Jewish “antifascism”, and mental illness.

Yet anywhere hosting anti-Zionists, whether political (London Forum, Patriotic Alternative, Keep Talking etc), entertainers (Alison Chabloz, Gilad Atzmon), metaphysical speakers (eg David Icke) or whatever, will be “hounded” by packs of Jews such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], “Hope not Hate” (“HnH”] and others.

When will the Daily Mail (etc) cover that story? Never…

Fair enough, but Neil is completely at one with Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby, and the Jewish element has been the driving force behind the attack on freedom of expression throughout the Western world: so-called “race relations” and “anti-hate” laws (designed to shut down socio-political debate), “holocaust” “denial” laws (designed to make aspects of modern history off-limits to both non-Jewish historians and members of the public) etc.

Incidentally, should anyone wish to help defray the costs of my own recent free speech trial, the crowdfunder is still open: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.

Could Andrew Neil be more craven? All his money, yet no real independence, in my opinion.

Like Andrew Neil (pre-2024), I have never watched Eurovision and (unlike Neil) do not intend to change my habit today. I have no interest at all in the Israeli contestant, positive or negative, or in any of the other howling freaks and noisemakers taking part.

I did notice that Denmark’s entry is an African! Not even a beautiful one. “Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad“…

The number of foreign mercenaries participating in the conflict on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has decreased by two thirds compared to March 2022 , writes “Business Insider”.

“Half of the mercenaries come from Latin American countries hoping to make money. They are there for money,” said Carl Larson, a former American soldier who fought in Ukraine.

He also admitted that, while he was in Ukraine, he realized that foreign mercenaries would not be able to stop the Russian forces and that they could only delay their advance “perhaps for an hour“.

Note that all of those recent “Labour” peers are total Israel/Jewish lobby puppets: sex pest depressive John Woodcock (“Lord Walney”), very odd (in various ways) Ian Austin, Tom Watson etc; now Ayesha Hazarika.

So Ayesha Hazarika, who was a comedian (apparently unsuccessful) for a couple of years about 20 years or so ago, and who worked her way up as Labour Party “adviser” (why? how? with what qualification or experience?), and who appeared many times on TV comedy/current affairs rubbish (obviously knew people who promoted her), is now a member of the devalued House of Lords.

God help us, though this sort of nonsense is scarcely new; cf. Oona King.

Well, Ayesha Hazarika no longer need to pretend to be a comedian or politician-manque; she need only take about 30 minutes out of her day to sign in at the Lords, and maybe (optional) partake of a subsidized lunch, to get about £350 taxfree (per day).

Is the US war aim the defeat of Russia and collapse of the Russian state? Well, that is not going to happen. Ukraine has not the means to attempt such a task, against a population maybe now 5x the size, and in a vast geographic space.

Is the US war aim for the forces of the Kiev regime to occupy or re-occupy the oblasts of Lugansk and Donetsk, and the new Russian republic of Crimea? That, at present, also seems all but impossible.

Russia has a functioning and even growing economy, a growing and improving army, air force and (arguably) navy, missile forces, and the backstop of nuclear weapons. Ukraine has a collapsed economy, and a population much of which lives in other countries (including Russia). Ukraine (Kiev-regime Ukraine) is almost totally dependent on Western aid. It also now faces shortages of soldiers, arms, and ammunition.

The concealed US war aim was to use the Zelensky regime to put pressure on Putin, and possibly to encourage a palace revolution in Moscow. It never happened and, now that Prigozhin has been knocked off the board “with extreme prejudice”, and his Wagner Group mainly absorbed into the ordinary Russian forces, never will. Not in the next few years, anyway.

If the details were not so horrific, those accounts would be almost funny in places— “they” are always the “victims”, even when blowing up and shooting unarmed civilians, including women and children.

That was in 1948, but here we are in 2024, 76 years later, and similar crimes are taking place in Gaza. “Their” behaviour does not change…only the power of their weapons has changed.

As the above map shows, if Russian forces can take Kharkov, it will be massive. Other Russian forces, pushing up from the south and southeast, will then squeeze the Kiev-regime forces out of the area between Kharkov and Donetsk. Thus the stage will be set for a push west and north towards and along the Dnieper, until the outer boundaries of the Kiev defence lines are reached.

Myerson— a lying hypocrite and obsessive. He should never be allowed to sit in judgment on anyone.

Goodwin is right on all that, but the problem is that the Rwanda plan is not an effective deterrent, for the reasons I have blogged about in previous blog posts.

The fact is that both main System parties want more non-white immigration, as per the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan (ignore the vandalistic, Jewish-Zionist, “editing”, and consequent biased wording).

Lammy is so incredibly ignorant about anything and everything that it is almost funny (or would be, were he not likely to be a Cabinet minister with real power by this time next year).

Mandela was as thick as two short planks. Failed law student (finally awarded a degree in the 1980s, after having become famous…), failed would-be lawyer, and failed revolutionary, whose “revolution” (planned partly by blacks but mainly by anti-white Jews) never got off the ground: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMkhonto_we_Sizwe; also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivonia_Trial.

Robert Jenrick, the Conservative Party, Reform UK, and a populist appeal on mass immigration

Needless to say, I have little time for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Jenrick, but the facts outlined in his film speak for themselves.

As to Jenrick’s own agenda, he may be angling to become Conservative Party leader once the little Indian money-juggler is booted out later this year or early next year. That would depend on Jenrick retaining his seat, but Newark has been a fairly safe Con seat over the decades; Jenrick has achieved at least 50%, and twice over 60%, vote-share since 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

One possible outcome after GE 2024 is that, the Conservative Party having been reduced to 50 or at most (in my opinion at present) 100 MPs, someone such as Jenrick might take over the leadership on the basis that Reform UK will either merge with Con Party or be promoted as its electoral ally, perhaps with Farage taking a prominent role. A new Conservative Party, taking a pseudo-populist line generally.

It is clear that Reform UK looks likely, on present polling, to impact the Conservative Party vote by an average of 1,000 votes per seat at the very least at GE 2024, and in more than a few constituencies by several thousand. To survive the expected electoral hit this year (or in Jan 2025), the Con Party needs to bring the Reform UK voters back to the fold, either via a post-GE 2024 electoral pact, or by a more formal merging of those parties under someone like Jenrick.

Such a pact or merger would probably be presented to the voters as a palace coup within the Con Party, a new start etc, the Con Party cleaning house and ready to really listen to “the people” etc.

In his film, Jenrick has said everything except “Get Out!” (to Sunak), nicht wahr?

However, only a real social-national party can make a real difference, and save what can be saved of this country.

Whatever the flaws in society generally or in such people themselves, both still had potential, then; potential to create a better society; and that was true up until the mid/late1980s, I think.

Since then, say since 1989, the direction of travel has been almost uninterruptedly straight down in most respects. What would a similar street look like today? What would the people be like?

It’s quite amusing to think of the various manoeuvering contenders for the Con Party leadership all jostling to become the leader of only 12 (other) MPs; reminiscent of some dark short story by Gogol or Dostoyevsky. Or maybe Zoshchenko.

A corrupt, freeloading Kurd, who only arrived in the UK at the age of 11.

I wonder whether an English person, born in the UK, and who first went to Iraq or Kurdistan at that age would later be acceptable as an Iraq or Kurdistan MP, let alone government and Cabinet minister? Of course not.

Some people see that as a positive thing about the UK, that someone of foreign origins can come to the UK and end up at a high level in the government or whatever. I think not, not when that person is not of British ancestry at least.

As to Zahawi himself, he was originally a protege of the egregious Jeffrey Archer. His Commons seat, Stratford-on-Avon, is safe Conservative Party territory, and his high vote-share there an indictment of the electorate, which evidently has little national sentiment.

I do not believe that Zahawi has decided to step down because he fears the loss of the seat; probably he sees that the Conservative Party is washed-up as a party of government, and does not want to continue as a mere backbencher not even of the governing party. Still, a slight surprise.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

I never want to blow my own trumpet, but there has to be something wrong about a society in which an ignorant and dishonest individual such as Lammy (of Guyanese origins) is a Bencher of Lincoln’s Inn (despite having done almost nothing in his couple of years at the practising Bar), whereas I was (automatically) expelled after my wrongful and unlawful disbarment in 2016 (procured by a pack of Zionist Jews).

Lammy will probably also become a Cabinet minister later this year or in 2025, whereas I have no real political profile at all; of course I always turned away from joining any System party anyway, on point of principle.

There again, Lammy is another puppet of the Israel/Jewish lobby, something that I would never have become under any circumstances.

Increasingly, as the years have gone on, especially since 2010, the Conservative Party in Parliament has struck me as having become closer to being a criminal enterprise than a political party.

Sunak’s government of clowns really is running on empty.

Natalie Elphicke pretended to stay loyal to her foolish husband while he was on trial for pathetic minor sex crimes, divorced him after he was convicted and imprisoned, and arranged to replace him as Conservative Party MP for Dover. Now, realizing that the game is up, she defects to Labour! About as trustworthy as any triple agent…

Does that mean that she will be the Labour candidate for Dover at GE 2024? I should have thought not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalie_Elphicke#Personal_life.

Having said that, Natalie Elphicke is unarguably right about Sunak’s bad joke government. The very roads are like something out of the Ukraine now— potholed, rutted, unrepaired or, at best, poorly-patched.

I started to comment on the blog years ago about how, not overnight but over 10-15 or more years (even pre-dating “Conservative” governments post-2010) “nothing works in Britain these days”. The newspapers started to say the same a couple of years ago. Now, hardly anyone would argue about it.

It will be interesting to see whether Natalie Elphicke, if not adopted as Labour candidate for the Dover constituency, stands as Independent. It might be tight between Con and Lab anyway, but with Reform UK in the mix (and very likely to do well), and Natalie Elphicke potentially standing as Independent, it could be a very close contest indeed. She might even win.

Come to think of it, Natalie Elphicke might have done better to have defected to Reform UK, which would probably have made her its Dover candidate, and with a reasonable shot at winning in a three-way split.

[Kensington Roof Gardens, London, which date back to the 1930s]

London has large areas of unused roof space which could be turned into green space; not necessarily all open to the public, but still a haven for birds and a recreational resource for individual people, families, employee groups etc.

I had such ideas back in the mid/late 1970s, when I happened to see some of the views from the roof areas of tall buildings: a couple of the then-tall buildings of the City of London (now dwarfed by the new high buildings, of course), the British Gas building at Marble Arch etc; both during the daytime and at night.

Since those times, others with similar ideas but more resources have actually been able to make a few projects a reality. There remains huge scope.
