“Rishi Sunak has been given a glimmer of hope as a major new poll by Lord Ashcroft suggests that more than half of voters have yet to definitively make up their minds.
With less than five weeks until the General Election, the research shared exclusively with the Daily Mail found only four in ten have ‘definitely decided’ how to vote.
But in a sign of the mountain the Tories still have to climb, the poll gives Labour a 23 point lead.
Overall, it puts Labour on a 47 per cent vote share, with the Tories on 24 per cent, and Reform UK on 11 per cent.”
Assuming honesty and relative accuracy of the poll, several points stand out for me.
Firstly, that this poll is not at all the “glimmer of hope” for Sunak and the Cons that the report accompanying it is spinning.
42% have “definitely decided” which way they are going to vote. Looking at recent polling elsewhere, that must greatly favour Labour. As for “...leaning towards a party” but “not definitely sure“, that could apply to any of the parties, but if most end up with Labour, then it is possible that Lab could end up, overall, topping 50%, leaving the Cons with a MP cadre in the single figures.
It might also mean, thinking of my previous speculation on the blog, that there are more people than polls suggest willing to vote Reform UK, if only as a protest, or as a method of giving the time-expired Conservative Party a kicking without having to vote Labour. “Secret” Reform UK voters. Do they even exist? We do not know. I think that they may exist, but in what numbers?
Anything up to 31% of eligible voters may not vote, it seems.
One big unanswered question is how many under-40s and especially under-25s will bother to vote, they being heavily pro-Labour.
On the other hand, the over-70s are the only age demographic more likely to vote Con than Lab. If significant numbers either vote Labour (unlikely) or Reform UK (much more likely) or simply abstain (not unlikely) then Sunak and the Cons really are in trouble.
Other takeaways include the fact (if it is a fact) that only 23% think that Sunak etc can do better than others at “running the economy” (Lab 37%; Don’t Know 39%, tellingly). For a Prime Minister with a banking and financial/business background, and who was, not so long ago, Chancellor of the Exchequer, that is very much a thumbs-down.
The voters’ assessments of the characters of Sunak and Starmer are not so very different.
Sunak is assessed by only 8% as being “up to the job“, while only 12% assess him as even being “competent“. That’s damning. (Starmer’s equivalent ratings were 18% and 21%, scarcely a ringing endorsement, but still far better than Sunak).
Ashford’s poll figures, fed into Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] suggest a result of Labour MPs 513, Cons 71, LibDems 31, SNP 12, Greens 2, Plaid 3, Reform 0, Northern Irish 18.
Very very bad for the Conservative Party, but not quite existentially so..
On that basis, there would still be a considerable Con bloc of 71 MPs, and the Cons would still be the official Opposition, however ineffective.
My own feeling, whether it be right or wrong, is still that the Cons may be reduced to below 50 MPs, and that the LibDems may exceed that by default (tactical voting), thus making the LibDems the Opposition in the Commons.
If that were to occur, the defeat would be existential for the Cons. No “bright young” (mostly idiot) careerists (think Liz Truss, once upon a time…) would want to join, and big donors would not bother to pump money into funding the Cons. A “death spiral”, as people say.

“Perhaps there isnāt any such thing as the Israel lobby. Perhaps Israel is the only country on the planet without dedicated lobbyists. Perhaps organisations like We Believe in Israel, the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre, and both the Labour and Conservative Friends of Israel, simply donāt exist.
Perhaps itās simply untrue to say that people who are critical of Israel online, or supportive of Palestine, are bombarded by hostile replies from pro-Israel accounts.
Or perhaps, thereās a concerted effort by Israelās advocates to warp and distort the definition of antisemitism to make it impossible to describe their activities. Was Faiza Shaheen wrong to apologise? I can understand why she did it. But nobody should have to apologise for liking a plain statement of fact.“
Perhaps I imagined the evidence which clearly showed supporters of Israel working together to get information on me.
Perhaps I imagined them publishing confidential and dangerously defamatory information about me.
One of the unreliable witnesses for the losing defendants in that case was Simon Myerson, a barrister and Recorder (p/t judge). Others (all Zionist Jews) were likewise not given much if any credence by the trial judge.
If we are keeping count, I think Myerson has inferred, and then implied publicly, that both you and I were somehow responsible for Dr Newbonās suicide.
Myerson is also a judge. Is it normal for judges to imply such things publicly? Or is it really weird behaviour?
Itās interesting isnāt it. It worries me going to some jobs and hearing āLast time I had an ambulance out, they were horrible to meā. Obviously, perceptions differ, but being understanding and showing kindness is the very least we can do.

The U.S, Embassy in Moscow was warning American expats about a possible terror attack for several days. From where did that come? From general “chatter” monitored or intercepted?
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in Moscow, Russia.
In 2016, Donald Trump said former US President Barack Obama is the founder of ISIS and Hillary Clinton is the co-founder.
Tenuous. Many people, including famous political figures, move around the world all the time, “like billiard balls“, as a Russian peasant on a river steamer once remarked to Gorky about the “gentry” [see: Literary Portraits, by Gorky, 1935, trs. Ivy Litvinov].
I cannot see the Kiev regime being behind this, except as the most dangerous game move (provoking Putin into doing something so harsh that it might then bring NATO into the Ukraine war directly). Surely even the Kiev regime would not do something so crazy?
How Russia will escalate has become more important than if Ukraine was actually behind this, which we may never know. https://t.co/wGLPm4GEkV

Crowdfunders
My own crowdfunder, set up to help me pay the court-imposed costs of my recent free-speech trial: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.
The MP who tweeted or retweeted that BBC report did not address the fact that the pro-Israel bloc in the UK and other states, the core of which is the Jewish Zionist population in each state, seems to be fairly solidly behind the Israeli military and air attack “operation” in Gaza.
I'm Jewish. This post is for anyone who opposes the GENOCIDE under way in Gaza, supported by @RishiSunak@Keir_Starmer & most UK media
IT IS NOT antisemitic to 1 Criticise the actions of Israel 2 Condemn the occupations 3 Condemn apartheid 4 Criticise the Israel Lobby in UK
In relation to no.4 above, it is unfortunate that the learned district judge at my free speech trial (in November 2023) seemed unaware of or (much more likely) not in agreement with, the point(s) made (which have been made many many times previously).
In fact, and in any case, “antisemitism”, as such, is not illegal in this country; neither is so-called “holocaust” “denial”. That much has been made clear in numerous court cases though, as far as I am aware, not yet at appeal level in the higher courts (Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of the UK).
Actually, the trial judge was fair in his actual conduct of the trial, overall, but Britain these days has come under a kind of low cloud of repression in respect of —shall we say?— “them“…
I feel that a few issues were slightly fudged in the delivered judgment of the learned District Judge at my trial. It is long since I was a barrister in court (2007) but I feel that there was at least one good appeal point in that judgment.
However, I am disinclined to appeal, and then have to go through, at the Crown Court, what would amount to a retrial, rehashing all the nonsense of the “CAA” and CPS already heard, particularly as the sentence eventually handed down by the sentencing judge was relatively light; and also in view of the fact that the sentencing District Judge refused the Prosecution application for a Criminal Behaviour Order to restrict (though not much, really, the Order and Application having been so poorly-drafted) my publication of the blog.
Incidentally, my trial was at the end of last November, so only a week short of 4 months ago. Tempus fugit. Even my sentencing hearing was 9 days ago, but I have already done one day out of the ordered 15 “probation” days (nominally a day, in terms of the sentence format, but actually about an hour in real time).
The blog continues. The blog will continue. Inshallah, as the Arabs say.

“Right Wing Labour MPs“, says he, meaning “members of Labour Friends of Israel“: at least three out of the ten Jewish (some of the rest possibly part- or “crypto”). Several of that group of ten wealthy or very wealthy; the rest freeloading, and/or fraudulent, leeches and snakes.
The Starmer led Labour Party in many ways are worse then the Tories, they are using Labourās history of being a voice for the working class to further the agenda of the elites.
It is now not impossible that, at the upcoming 2024 General Election, the Reform UK party, despite its flaws (from my ideological direction) will run about level with the Con Party; somewhere around 15%-20%. If so, and if Labour can get about 45%, the Con Party might be left with about 25-50 MPs (Labour 500-525; LibDems 25-50; Reform UK 0-5; Green 1-2; SNP 15-30; Plaid Cymru 2-3; others, about 18).
If the Conservative Party declines to somewhere below 50 MPs, it is an open question (bearing in mind the age of its core voters) as to whether it can survive at all in the medium term (2030-2050).
While I agree with Nick Griffin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin] that there is, for social-national people, “no Parliamentary road” in a totally rigged game, it is not impossible for a political party as yet not in existence to play at least some role in a general social-national upsurge. “All roads lead to Rome“, as they say.

The malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”) cabal and Crown (“Clown”?) Prosecution Service (which the “CAA” —typically—badgered for 7+ years to prosecute me) completely failed to persuade the sentencing judge to curtail publication of, or censor the content of, the blog.
I myself, however, have decided to make the blog gradually more focussed on analysis, and less on comment, as well as making it more diplomatic, but without compromise on ideology or principle.
The “CAA” is evidently embarrassed by the ultimate result. Their endless whining and demanding may have led to me being charged and —after a year— convicted , and to my having to waste much time defending myself, but the ultimate result, apart from the Ā£734 in financial imposts (which may be largely covered by donations), is that I have to meet once every 1-3 weeks with the Probation Service for the rest of this year; 15 meetings in all; I have already attended one (short and not at all unpleasant).
The “CAA” crowed mightily on Twitter/X when I was convicted (November 2023), but since the sentencing hearing (14 March 2024), they have not tweeted once about me. Ha.

“Taurus missiles could have a significant impact on Ukraineās ability to defend itself, ā Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski supported Ukraine in its desire to obtain the Taurus and accused Germany of indecisiveness in supplying new weapons systems to the war zone.
“Thanks to cruise missiles from other countries, the Ukrainians have already convinced the Russians to move their logistics bases, such as ammunition depots, far behind the front line. And the German missiles will force them to move even further,” he said.“
As for those missiles, yes, they would assist the Kiev regime’s war effort, but its war is now lost anyway— insufficient soldiers, arms, and ammunition, and collapsing morale. If Germany supplies such missiles, not only Kiev might become a major target for —far more powerful— Russian missiles, but also other cities; even Berlin itself. Don’t stoke the fires of war.

“NATO is losing experienced soldiers due to the low attractiveness of military service Against the backdrop of the Ukrainian conflict, NATO troops are faced with a personnel shortage.
This is not so much about recruiting new recruits, but about retaining soldiers and officers who are already in service, writes Politico. European countries that rely on professional militaries are trying to make their armed forces more attractive. But this is difficult to achieve in times of low unemployment, fierce competition from the private sector and widespread use of remote work, the publication explains.
A recent report presented in the German parliament showed that 1,537 soldiers left the Bundeswehr in 2023. In addition to increasing layoffs, the German army has to deal with dilapidated infrastructure, the repair of which could cost about ā¬50 billion, Politico notes.
French Minister of the Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu admitted that the difficulty of āretainingā personnel exists in many allied countries. Paris and some other NATO members hope to stimulate the military with higher salaries and social guarantees, the article notes. Money does play a significant role in keeping people in the military. But the problem is that the conditions of service in NATO armies are not that attractive. After all, chronic overtime, the inability to get home for many months and a lack of days off are commonplace there, Politico emphasizes.“
If NATO were to stop interfering in Ukraine, the Middle East, and elsewhere, that shortage of personnel would not even be a problem. Meanwhile, almost all NATO states are suffering from non-European migration-invasion, and no amount of new or old soldiers will stop that, because the NWO-ZOG political leadership is encouraging mass immigration into the European space.

2024 may see a general advance by Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine. It is an open question whether the Stavka and Putin will await the 2024 UK and US elections. If there is any pause (which I doubt), 2025 will surely bring victory over the Kiev regime.

That underwhelming career somehow morphed into her “advising” some of the leading figures in the Labour Party 2007-2015. How? Why?
By 2016, Ayesha Hazarika had picked up an MBE, been proposed but not confirmed for nomination for a peerage, was somehow inescapable on msm TV and radio politics shows for several years and, after having been vocally anti-Corbyn, was nominated for a peerage by Israel-puppet Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, finally being elevated to the (now surely totally devalued) House of Lords in 2024, at the age of 48. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayesha_Hazarika,_Baroness_Hazarika
As can be seen, the common thread through that career, certainly after 2007, seems to have been the “usual” lobby…
That is the kind of individual now making law in the UK.
I have seen Ayesha Hazarika a number of times on TV, though quite a few years ago. I never heard her say anything of interest, as far as I can recall.

“Police officers in Scotland are being given training to target social media posts, including re-tweets, of material deemed “threatening and abusive.”
Under the county’s new hate crime law, actors and comedians are not given a free pass to make jokes about sensitive subjects that offend people, either. The new training provided to officers, which was leaked to The Herald, requires police officers to go after anyone who produces material deemed “threatening and abusive,” which can also be communicated through “public performance of a play.”
Under the new hate crime law, people who make fun of or misgender trans people, make racial jokes or criticisms of certain religions, or criticize migrants can be prosecuted.
“The different ways in which a person may communicate material to another person are by: displaying, publishing or distributing the material, for example on a sign, on the internet through websites, blogs, podcasts, social media etc., either directly, or by forwarding or repeating material that originates from a third party, through printed media such as magazine publications or leaflets.”
The hate crime law goes on to state that “giving, sending, showing, or playing the material to another person” listing examples such as “through online streaming, by email, playing a video, through public performance of a play.” So repeat a joke you heard online, or show someone a spicy meme or commentary of a transgender person or mass migration on your livestream, and, and you too will be arrested.

“HMRC has sparked fury by announcing it will permanently close tax helplines for six months and let 100 customer service staff work a three-day week over the summer.
Taxpayers will not be able to call the tax office for help with their returns from April 8 until September 30, HM Revenue and Custom has today announced.
The move comes just weeks after the Commons Public Accounts Committee of MPs condemned HMRC’s customer service for hitting an ‘all-time low’.
New figures showed how almost 1million calls went unanswered in January – typically the busiest month of the year for the service, with taxpayers rushing to file for self-assessment tax returns without triggering fines for lateness.”
Jesus H. Christ…does anything work properly in this country any more?!
Having said that, when I had (historical) tax problems and had to engage with the Revenue, well over a decade ago, especially in 2010-2011, I was quite frankly amazed to see how utterly shambolic the HMRC “service” actually was. It’s an overused term, but it was “Kafka-esque” to a degree I would not have believed had I not experienced it myself.
So now it is actually worse? Hard to believe. The one comfort I have from that very stressful period many years ago is that, soon after I got off the hook, and during the Cameron-Levita/Osborne “austerity” programme, most if not all of the HMRC staff that had harassed and annoyed me, and created problems for me, lost their jobs. Suck on that…
Still, all’s well that ends well…my income is now so low that the shambles of administration in that “service” need not concern me. My problems with “the taxman” were settled to my satisfaction in 2012.

“Eight men have been sentenced over their involvement in violent disorder after trouble flared at a hotel housing asylum seekers.

Violence broke out outside the Suites Hotel in Knowsley, Merseyside, last year which was providing temporary accommodation for asylum seekers.

There were gasps from the public gallery as he was jailed. Thomas Mills, 47, who brought a banner to the protest urging people to shout to get the asylum seekers out, was sentenced to two years and eight months.

Crowdfunder: thank you
Thank you, those who donated today, and all those who have donated to help me and the fight for freedom and justice.
Well, this week I am back on winning form— 6/10, compared to political journalist John Rentoul’s 5/10. I very nearly got more, but could not bring the answers to questions 7 and 10 to mind for some reason; I had no idea about question 5, and guessed wrong on question 9.
Announcement
Regular readers will please be aware that, despite my trial, conviction, and sentence in respect of alleged breaches of the notorious Communications Act 2003, s.127, this blog will continue to be published.
I shall blog later (probably later today) about the trial (held in November 2023) and sentencing hearing (held 14 March 2024).
The blog will continue to be published, but the style will have to change, inasmuch as my freedom to express views and to explain current and historical events has inevitably been restricted by the trial and sentence.
I am not in fact under any greater legal prohibition now than I was a year ago, but it will be readily understood that my having been convicted does apply somewhat of a chilling effect on my freedom to write what I want, or in such terms as I should prefer.
The “usual suspects”, and their dupes in the police and Crown Prosecution Service, will now be watching and “monitoring” (spying and snooping on) my blog in even greater detail than was previously the case.
They may think that they have scored a narrow victory “on points”, as the sport people say; I say merely that we shall see…
Like Sir Thomas More, I shall express my views and opinions in compliance with current law (however misguided and abused that law may be), so far as I can do so without compromising principle and honour.
Quite apart from that, I think that, in the circumstances of repression and “control” in which we (in the UK and some other countries) live, all social-national people have to look beyond the mere expression of views and the mere analysis of events to actually accomplishing the germinal basis of a different and more advanced society.
[Update, 9 June 2024:I should point out that my sentence, which was called (some days or weeks later) “absurdly lenient” by the malicious and conspiratorial Jew-Zionist group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (which admits to having pushed for 7 years for me to be prosecuted), was made by the learned (and generally quite fair) sentencing judge on the specific recommendation of the Probation Service officer who met me in mid-December 2023 and later drafted a pre-sentence report for the Court. The sentence itself (a “community order” with 15 “rehabilitation days”) exactly followed the recommendation made in that report.]

Talking point
[from the Daily Telegraph]
“A former Nato commander predicts our future ā and it looks terrifying.
Ever since Erskine Childersās 1903 novel The Riddle of the Sands urged the British government to treat Germany, not France, as the leading threat of the new century, thrillers have often been co-opted as a means of warning policymakers about under-appreciated perils ā with the advantage that such a book may be more likely to keep the reader awake than a dispassionate report.
Three years ago, the novelist and decorated ex-Marine Elliot Ackerman collaborated with former Nato Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis on a political thriller called 2034.
The novel imagines ā or predicts; weāll see ā that in the next decade a complacent America will suddenly find its military technologies outclassed by those of its rivals, and when pulled into a conflict with China in 2034, will resort to tactical nuclear strikes, resulting in the tit-for-tat annihilation of Shanghai and San Diego.
The book ends on the brink of a new world order, with a truce called but the US and China so badly damaged that India and parts of Africa are able to vie with them for superpower status.
Now, Ackerman and Stavridis have dusted down their crystal ball for a sequel: 2054. This time, the threat facing humanity isnāt nuclear destruction, but the event that keeps futurists awake at night, āthe Singularityā, defined here as āan āintelligence explosionā, the equivalent of thousands of years of biological evolution crammed into months or even weeks when machine and human learning [will] integrate into a single consciousnessā.
The Singularity may bring about such advantages as immortality, if youāre happy to have your brain uploaded into a mechanical super-body: useful in a future in which pandemics are commonplace. But itās going to be bad news for the enemies of whichever nation or corporation wins the race to develop the tech.“
A question which has concerned me since I first read predictions of what seemed to be possible human/robot melding in then-unpublished manuscripts by Rudolf Steiner and Valentin Tomberg.
As far as I know, the relevant Steiner manuscripts, and probably also the Tomberg ones, are still unpublished. I do not know whether they might be in that online archive. Probably not. I read them well over 40 years ago, in a basement, from dusty files containing brittle old typescript.

Most people complied with being shepherded about in, or outside, supermarkets by bossy “security” dogsbodies or insolent little shop-girls. How the latter must have hated having had to give up instructing shoppers where to stand and walk, and having had to return to their usual routine of filling shelves and serving customers, rather than barking at them…
Quite a number of members of the public, either from misplaced fear, or from sheer malice, were willing to “report” (denounce, as it was always called in the Soviet Union under Stalin) their neighbours for “crimes” such as taking a ride in the car or on a motorbike, or having a few friends over for a drink at home.
The very compliant ones, and the enthusiastic collaborators, can be written off. Useless people. Our interest, at this stage, is in the non-compliant part of the population. They may still have some fight in them.

“Former head of the Czech intelligence service: Russia is crushing Ukraine, heading for victory.
Russia is systematically destroying the Armed Forces of Ukraine, thanks to its industry and logistics, and the West is unable to oppose it, said the former head of the Czech military intelligence service, General Petr Pelc, in an interview for “Radio Universe”.
“Russia is crushing Ukraine in a slow and systematic way. We all send it money, part of which disappears somewhere, part does not even reach Ukraine, and thus we only prolong the agony and increase the number of dead people,” Peltz believes. – “
Weapons and soldiers win battles, and industry and logistics win wars. That’s all. The question is what we call a military victory. In two years of this armed conflict, Russia increased the productivity of its military-industrial complex 15 times. We are not for that, of course capable ,” he stated.“
As I have always said, short of a palace revolution in Moscow followed by complete anarchy, Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.
My recent trial and sentencing hearing
Background
On 30 November 2023, I was tried under Communications Act 2003, s.127 in respect of 5 counts of having breached the said Act by having allegedly posted 5 pages of this blog.
In fact, only small parts of those 5 pages were alleged to have been “grossly offensive” (a few comments, remarks and cartoons).
To put the accusations into context, today’s blog post is number 1,799; tomorrow’s will be number 1,800. 1,800 blog posts published since November or December 2016.
Even taking the last few years, there have been blog pages posted almost every day, at least 1,000 in the past 3 years. I stood accused of having posted 5 pages, out of which pages about 2% of the content was supposedly “grossly offensive”.
I do not propose to go into the decade of persecution of me engaged in by Jewish Zionists, pro-Israel Jews. Anyone interested in the background can find it on the blog easily enough via the search box. Suffice to say that there has been a decade of false complaints and reports to police, politicians, professional regulators etc.
The organizations persecuting me (and many others, from Al Jazeera TV to David Icke, to Alison Chabloz, to various social-national political figures) have been the Campaign Against Antisemitism [“CAA”] and UK Lawyers for Israel [“UKLFI”]. The memberships or supporter-cadres tend to overlap to a degree.
I was wrongfully and (as it later transpired) unlawfully disbarred in 2016. I was later invited to re-open the matter, but declined, partly because I might have been re-instated at the Bar but fined heavily; in any case, the Bar is now a dustbin as far as I am concerned.
Various malicious and false (based on lies) complaints were made about me to the police from about 2012. All such complaints were from CAA-connected Jewish individuals. Not one was upheld, but I was subjected to two “voluntary” police interviews and a number of insolent telephone calls from police drones.
The last such lying complaint about me was made in 2021 by one Stephen Silverman, who grandly styles himself “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the “CAA”. My account of that can also be found on the blog. That complaint was thrown out by the Crown Prosecution Service [“CPS”] in early 2022, but the “CAA” persisted in trying to get the matter re-opened via the so-called “victim’s right of review”.
In a clear misuse of their powers, the CPS, having informed me that I would not be prosecuted for the (completely untrue) “racially-aggravated harassment” of Silverman (for which there was no evidence whatsoever), dropped that potential charge, but then (a year later) charged me of having posted 5 “grossly offensive” pages from this blog. Though never arrested, I was charged by post early last year, 2023.
The “CAA” are still tweeting and scribbling on their website that they have pursued me for 7 years (in reality, longer), and that my “case” was only brought to court after “Lord” Ian Austin (former Labour MP) wrote directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions to demand that I be prosecuted.
The prosecution of me was purely political.

The trial, and later sentencing hearing
The trial took place over one day in November 2023. It was presided over by District Judge [stipendiary magistrate, in the formerly-used title] Greenfield at Southampton Magistrates’ Court. I represented myself.
The old saw has it that “a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client“. Very true words, but I had reasons for doing so. Firstly, I have not been, nominally, a barrister for many years, and not a practising barrister for about 16 years.
I have not been involved in criminal law (except some corporate “crime” and international extradition matters) for even longer, since the early/mid 1990s. I was therefore treated more loosely by the Court, as being a non-lawyer. Also, I have little but contempt for the spineless Bar of today, and would not wish to be represented by one of them, even though in some respects I might have been better off having an advocate who was current on the law and practice of the criminal courts. I undoubtedly made mistakes in my Court presentation etc.
I found the judge to be generally courteous, eminently fair in most respects, and willing to put the rather poor police and CPS case to the test where he felt that it was particularly weak.
The judge was, however, unwilling to listen to argument about why I had even been charged, i.e. the obvious (and now admitted) political pressure brought to bear on the CPS, which had caved in to pressure from the Jewish/Zionist lobby (as the “CAA” itself admits on its website and Twitter/X account).
The judge (fairly enough, in a sense) made the point that I could go to the High Court on a judicial review application, work that I once did as Counsel, about 30 years ago. That would have had the effect of automatically staying the criminal prosecution, possibly for a year or more. Yes, in theory, but someone on his own, without money? Difficult.
Silverman from the “CAA” was in Court, but he was not a witness, and gave no evidence; just sat at the back of the Court. Afraid of being cross-examined, no doubt, and as I had pointed out in preliminary documentation.
I have no idea why the police never charged Silverman with, at very least, wasting police time over his demonstrably false accusation that I had “racially and/or religiously harassed” him in 2021, which brought two police drones to my door (on my birthday, at that) and effectively compelled me to attend two “voluntary” interviews (the first called off for technical reasons when I had already attended).
In my view, Silverman could have been charged with perversion of the course of justice: “Perverting the course of justice and witness intimidation are serious offences that undermine the administration of justice by falsely accusing people or withholding crucial evidence thus potentially damaging police investigations and wasting courts’ time” [Sentencing Council].
As in other aspects of this case, there are serious questions to be answered around the role of Silverman and the “CAA”, and his/their apparent influence over the police and CPS, but as matters stand they remain unanswered and may remain unanswered.
Reverting to the trial itself, I had been intending to make a submission at “half-time” (after close of the Prosecution case) of “no case to answer”, and on at least two grounds, but the judge (very fairly) pre-empted that (because I was treated as a non-lawyer and unrepresented by a practising advocate), and did it for me, in effect, by grilling Prosecution Counsel (instructed by the CPS) for a bit, before retiring to consider the matter over the lunchtime adjournment.
Sadly for me, the judge decided that the case could continue (I think that it was touch-and-go), so it did. I should not have bothered to give evidence but did (a mistake; I was very tired), and was briefly though not much cross-examined.
The judge gave a fairly brief summing-up and, in my now almost-lay opinion, said one or two things that seemed to me to provide possible appeal points, before convicting me on all 5 counts. A short discussion about potential sentence level then occurred between judge and Prosecution Counsel, and I had to get up and politely insist that I thought that another view was possible about level of sentence; and that was that. Adjourned for 3 months.
The matter reconvened in early 2024 and was adjourned after the Prosecution applied to ask for a Criminal Behaviour Order restricting my blogging slightly.
The sentencing hearing took place on 14 March 2024. The sentencing judge (District Judge/magistrate), District Judge Callaway (a former Deputy Chief Metropolitan Magistrate) presided, District Judge Greenfield having in the intervening period been gazetted and appointed to the Circuit Bench as His Honour Judge Greenfield (now sitting at Reading County Court).
I have to say that I found the sentencing judge, D.J. Callaway, to be as generally fair and courteous as had been the trial judge, D.J. Greenfield.
I had drafted in advance a Defendant’s Argument on Sentence, examining the relevant law as well as my own circumstances, which the sentencing judge was kind enough to say “was very well put together“, if I recall his words correctly. Maybe I still have the remnants of the barristerial skills that (if I may immodestly remember) led some (though not all!) judges to commend me in Court all those years ago. A different world…
The cutbacks in court funding led to one farcical situation when it transpired that the sentencing judge had not seen the long email (about various other matters), and which I had emailed about 10 days in advance of the hearing, requesting that it be printed out and supplied to the judge.
Not only that, the very efficient Clerk of the Court was unable to find the email at all. Fortunately, Prosecution Counsel, not present in person but appearing like a disembodied spirit via video link (something I had never seen before), and on a small TV high up on a side wall, was able to forward the email (which I had copied to the CPS as a courtesy).
The Prosecution’s application for a Criminal Behaviour Order against me re. my blogging was refused, the judge agreeing, in effect, with me that the proposed Order had been so badly-drafted that it would be impossible to enforce and anyway added nothing useful.
The CPS really are a bunch of clowns; not even honest clowns, looking at the way I have been treated over the past two and a half years.
My submission on sentence, that it should be a conditional discharge, or small fine, was not upheld by the judge. Prosecution Counsel, who on the previous occasion had intimated that the CPS were looking for an uplift on sentence based on the idea that my case was a “hate crime”, despite there being no actual victim (accepted by the trial judge and the CPS at and prior to trial), agreed with the sentencing judge that a “lower level community order” would be the correct penalty.
I was sentenced to a “community order” (akin to the “probation” of former years), which involves 15 meetings with the Probation Service, spread over 9 months, so about one meeting every 2-3 weeks.
In addition, I am to pay a total of nearly Ā£800 in costs, including a notional “surcharge”. Money that I do not have right now.
Crowdfunder
In relation to the above-mentioned costs, I have just set up a crowdfunder. If anyone can help, either with a money donation, or via sharing the crowdfunder link on social media or elsewhere, I should be most grateful.
I shall blog about the (slightly amusing) aftermath of the trial and sentence tomorrow.
[Update, 9 June 2024:I should point out that my sentence, which was called (some days or weeks later) āabsurdly lenientā by the malicious and conspiratorial Jew-Zionist group, āCampaign Against Antisemitismā (which admits to having pushed for 7 years for me to be prosecuted), was made by the learned (and generally quite fair) sentencing judge on the specific recommendation of the Probation Service officer who met me in mid-December 2023 and later drafted a pre-sentence report for the Court. The sentence itself (a ācommunity orderā with 15 ārehabilitation daysā) exactly followed the recommendation made in that report.]
[Update, 13 September 2024: As of yesterday, I do not have to attend any further meetings with the Probation Service, despite not having actually attended very many: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/09/13/diary-blog-13-september-2024/. My sentence is therefore effectively at an end. āThe usual suspectsā ((( ))) will be fuming].

Most readers of the blog will be aware that I was sentenced yesterday for breach of the notorious Communications Act 2003, s.127, a law so defective that the Law Commission has recommended its repeal.
I shall blog about my trial and sentencing hearing etc either later today or tomorrow.
Today, the most important thing is to think about forward strategy.
We see, in the Britain of today, a level of repression on free speech and/or freedom of expression never seen previously, not even during times of war, at least since the 17th Century.
Countries which are not cohesive, and which are sometimes called “diverse”, always have to have tyrannical police and secret police, and repressive laws. The modern paradigm, I suppose, was the Soviet Union.
My trial last November, and yesterday’s sentencing hearing was only one small example of the repression which is still increasing. Israel-lobby puppet Michael Gove introduced his “extremism” proposals and was supported by such as “Lord Walney” (the former MP, John Woodcock, who had to step down as MP after sex-pest allegations etc), who has always been a vocal advocate for Israel and its lobby in the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Woodcock,_Baron_Walney#Adviser_on_Political_Violence_and_Disruption.
In fact, Gove, a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, seems to be mainly targeting entirely non-violent British groups such as Patriotic Alternative, already attacked both by State agencies and private interests (as when Sam Melia and his wife, Laura Towler were “de-banked” for political reasons a few years ago). See also https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia.
Incidentally, “Labour” supports the latest anti-free speech repression. At least, those with power in the Labour Party: Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc; all Labour Friends of Israel members.
What I want to do here is look at “what now?“, in the context of a British society where free speech (especially speech critical of “certain groups”) is finished, at an end, extinct.
Nick Griffin was (also) on the right track when he tweeted (and I think that his views remain the same) that there was “no Parliamentary road” to power for us as social-nationalists, but that we should avoid getting involved in “terrorism” (hard to define, of course, but let that lie for now).
The Parliamentary road is no good mainly because the game is so rigged that the Chicago mobs of the 1920s would feel ashamed. Look at the latest Israel-lobby-procured “extremism” nonsense coming out of Gove and the rest. That means that entirely lawful bodies such as Patriotic Alternative (mentioned by name by Gove) would never be able to take part in elections (certainly not if they looked like having success), might well find it hard to hold bank accounts, or operate any “regulated” mass media etc.
Of course the “antifa” clowns (unwitting pawns of “others”) will think this all wonderful, at first. Later, of course, they will find themselves fed into the meat-grinder.
As for anything approaching the usual view of “terrorism”, that would have no chance even were it morally acceptable. The State holds all the cards— police, military power, secret and security services, arms and ammunition, the mass media (more or less), and pretty tight control over international travel; and so on.
I think that that has to be the way forward. It is in concord with Clausewitz and his views (in another context) re. concentration of forces, sometimes referred to as a kind of Schwerpunkt, or focussed point or area.
On this day in 1938, Austria became part of the German Reich, the forces of the Wehrmacht having crossed the border unopposed on the previous day, welcomed enthusiastically by crowds of Austrian people passed en route:
“On the morning of 12 March 1938, the 8th Army of the German Wehrmacht crossed the border into Austria. The troops were greeted by cheering Austrians with Nazi salutes, Nazi flags, and flowers.[57]
For the Wehrmacht, the invasion was the first big test of its machinery. Although the invading forces were badly organized and coordination among the units was poor, it mattered little because the Austrian government had ordered the Austrian Bundesheer not to resist.[58]
That afternoon, Hitler, riding in a car, crossed the border at his birthplace, Braunau am Inn, with a 4,000 man bodyguard.[53] In the evening, he arrived at Linz and was given an enthusiastic welcome.
The enthusiasm displayed toward Hitler and the Germans surprised both Nazis and non-Nazis, as most people had believed that a majority of Austrians opposed Anschluss.[59][60]
Many Germans from both Austria and Germany welcomed the Anschluss as they saw it as completing the complex and long overdue unification of all Germans into one state.”
[Wikipedia]
“Most people...” in the UK etc were no doubt being informed, or misinformed, by newspapers owned by or influenced by “the usual suspects” (the “you-know-who”…). The enthusiasm of Austrians for Anschluss was therefore a shock to them.
Their crowdfunder [https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia] has now reached Ā£60,532. The minimum level of donation is a mere Ā£4. Help these people and their cause.
[Laura Towler and her husband, Sam Melia, with one of their small children, another being expected to be born very soon]
I myself do not, at least as yet, have any crowdfunder, but am due to be sentenced this week (for allegedly having written unwelcome truths on this blog).

“Russia responded to unprecedented Western sanctions with an āindecent gestureā – CBC.
In early February, Vladimir Putin joked that he wanted to show a āwell-known gestureā to the sanctions-imposing West, but would not do so because there were āmany girls in the room.ā
Instead, the Russian president boasted about the country’s economy and its ability to expand its military-industrial complex in the face of unprecedented sanctions, writes CBC journalist Briar Stewart.
Indeed, over the past two years, the Russian government has managed to circumvent sanctions and limit inflation while investing nearly a third of its budget in defense spending. He also managed to increase trade with China and sell his oil to new markets, in part by using a shadow fleet of tankers to get around a price cap that Western countries hoped would reduce the country’s military budget.
In 2022, Western countries froze Russia’s sovereign assets worth $300 billion. Then more than 16 thousand sanctions were introduced. European airspace was closed to Russian aircraft, and hundreds of Western companies left Russia or curtailed their activities.
But today there are the latest iPhones and MacBooks on Russian shelves because government and business have largely been able to adapt. Russia has relied on Asia, and especially China, as its main economic lifeline. Russia’s ability to produce weapons and use its oil money to finance them is a pressing issue for Ukraine, which is struggling with arms and ammunition shortages, and for its allies.
āHowever, there are no simple steps left to tighten the sanctions regime. It’s a game of cat and mouse. Any delays in making decisions on additional sanctions give Russia the opportunity to adjust its policies and its economy,ā the article says.”

“Senator Ron Johnson: “I think it’s time for politicians in Washington to face reality.
Chuck Schumer came out of a meeting at the White House and said, ‘It’s simple, $60 billion and Ukraine will win. If you don’t give them $60 billion, they’ll lose.'”
How they plan. We’re now in a two-year bloody stalemate, and I think you really need to start asking yourself, is it worth spending another $60 billion to fan the flames of the bloody stalemate? Because every day more and more Ukrainians die, more and more Russian conscripts, more and more Ukraine is destroyed. If you care about the Ukrainian people, you should worry about this too.
We don’t have a winning strategy. The administration does not lay it out. If we are going to support Ukraine, it must be done in a way that forces Putin to come to the negotiating table and end this war. I don’t hear it at all. I hear that President Biden hasn’t even talked to Russia on this issue. And I would be very interested to know what happened in Istanbul shortly after the war began, when Boris Johnson, essentially halfway through the Biden administration, torpedoed the peace agreement.
So we really need to do a complete re-evaluation of this issue. And we should secure our own border before sending $60 billion down the rat hole to secure other countries.”
Quite. In fact, you could give the Zelensky regime USD $60BN or $600BN, and it would make no difference. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) cannot “win”, even to the extent of “taking back” Crimea, Donetsk, and Lugansk, let alone anything more ambitious.
The present Ukraine is a failed state, and in fact a fake state.

āRussiaās offensive has been stopped,ā Zelensky told French broadcaster BFM TV on Monday. āOur command, our military stopped Russiaās offensive in eastern Ukraine.ā
But Western analysts say Russian troops continue to advance in the Zaporozhye, Donetsk, Kharkov and Luhansk regions. āRussian troops recently achieved confirmed successes in the areas of Bakhmut, Avdeevka and Donetsk amid ongoing positional battles along the entire line of contact on March 12,ā Newsweek quotes analysts.
In the Kupyansky direction there is progress in the area of āāāāthe village of Sinkovka. In the south, Russian troops are regaining positions lost during the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the summer of 2023. Fierce fighting broke out around such settlements as Robotino, Urozhainoye and Staromayorskoye.

"Britain issued nearly 280,000 visas to dependents of workers –80% up on 2022 and 403% higher than when Boris Johnson & the Tories came to power in 2019"https://t.co/3HlwWpqTvb
So you import, say, an Indian who can work a computer (“high-skilled worker”), or an NHS hospital cleaner or nursing assistant from Africa (“key worker”), and then they all come— husbands, wives, “fiances” or “fiancees”, children (of any age), “wider family members” etc, few of which will contribute anything, and all of whom will need to use UK services— NHS, roads, rail, schools, you name it.
More important yet is the effect on UK demographics. In 1956, when I was born, 99% of the UK population was white, almost all Northern European. By 1989, that 99% had become about 95%, and now stands around 80% but dropping rapidly.
Present projections say that white people (“the people formerly known as British”) will be a minority in the UK by 2066, if indeed the UK as such still exists by then. I think that 2040 is a more likely date.
Both System parties are following the same conspiratorial agenda, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan [be aware that the transnational Jewish lobby organizes “volunteers” to “edit” (vandalize) Wikipedia, and has infiltrated quite a number of Jews (especially American Jews) into Wikipedia as “editors”, “monitors” etc. Wikipedia is therefore sometimes biased on certain political and historical topics].

This week, I myself face my sentencing hearing for supposed political “crimes” under Communications Act 2003, s.127. Free speech is now all but dead in the UK.
I'm sure the memes that triggered this "sentence" weren't about Muslims or blacks….maybe about the very influential 1% ethnic group ?
Yes, the same 1% Sam Melia offended. We can see this is working towards the jail sentences they want made law here for antisemitism/anti zionism to silence us and enslave us to their demands. No more protests, free speech will be hate speech, either we stand up or we bow to them.

Toby, while I recognised you to be very much an āestablishment conservativeā rather than a real one, I was prepared to let this slide in the hope that you gave a damn about free speech.
“Toad” is his right characterization. The fact is, that the “Free Speech Union” is part of the “controlled opposition” matrix: Breitbart, Toby Young, James Delingpole, Farage, Brexit Party, GB News, UKIP, Reform UK etc.
Anyone, or any organization, which adheres to pro-Israelism or pro the UK (or any other) Jewish lobby is contaminated and not worth taking seriously.
Here is Young, from 6 years ago:
“Iām currently in Israel on a press trip organised by Bicom ā the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre. Bicom does a good job of getting experts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to give talks to journalists and Iāve attended a few in their London offices. But this is the first time Iāve been on one of their legendary excursions to the Holy Land, which they organise about six times a year. In essence, youāre given a whistle-stop tour of the country while being briefed at every turn by senior ministers and officials on both sides of the divide. Itās seventh heaven for foreign policy nerds, but I also have another reason for being here, which is to weigh up the pros and cons of emigrating to Israel.
Believe it or not, my entire family is eligible for citizenship under the Law of Return because Carolineās father is Jewish. And the idea of moving here is genuinely appealing because Iāve been fanatically pro-Israel since falling in love with the place aged 17. I had just failed all my O-levels and was mooning about feeling like an outcast when my father decided to send me to a kibbutz. It turned out to be the perfect antidote to my adolescent funk.
I found everything about Israel, particularly its origins, deeply affecting, and in spite of not being Jewish I felt as if Iād discovered my people at last. I was inspired by the example of pioneering Zionists like Theodor Herzl to take control of my own destiny. I would return to England, retake my O-levels, go to a sixth form and, God help me, apply to Oxford. And when it all worked out, I felt as if Israel and the wonderful example of its founders had saved me and I swore an oath that I would always defend the country from its detractors.“
[Toby Young, in The Spectator, 2018]
‘Nuff said?
I have just read the article, or polemic, written by one David Hansard (real name David Johnson, it seems). Basic premise— cut back on free speech (labelled “hate speech”) in order to protect (approved) free speech. I have heard that before…
What a final straw, such a shame. No choice but to cancel my subscription to the @SpeechUnion – unfollowed.
You should state your views, and those of the FSU, on this matter clearly and unequivocally. This is a critical case and your dilly-dallying on it is discrediting you and the FSU.
Like any msm-approved figure, “Toadmeister” runs scared of the Jewish lobby. If they were to turn on him, that would be his fake “free speech” and scribbling and TV talking head career over at once.
Sam Melia and his wife Laura Towler are heroic.
As for that “David Hansard” (David Johnson) character, his background seems opaque. More from him:
Nope. I'm sceptical of free speech absolutism, which has its own orthodoxy and is often intolerant of being challenged, and which seems to disregard the problems which come with permitting someone to post such messages in public.
“Permitting someone…”— that is the wrong starting point. Free speech on social, political, religious and historical topics, is a right, not a privilege granted by some “authority”, not something that should be licensed or allowed on application, or risked on pain of punishment.
Like many people, “David Hansard” seem not to really understand the idea of freedom of expression. He is all in favour of it so long as it does not cause “problems” in society (for those in power, or profiting by exploitation), or cause “divisions”.
In fact, the “divisions” in society are not caused by those talking about things, but by the underlying realities:
A subject close to my heart. After all, later this week a magistrate will sentence me for deemed breaches of the notorious “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127, a prosecution procured by the malicious Israel-lobby pressure group (tiny but well-funded) which is pleased to call itself “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, and which has been boasting online about how it has been trying to have me prosecuted for 7 years or more.
Seems obvious and also fair under the 1986 law that such intention was present, in light of the contents of the stickers – even if the stickers were not in themselves unlawful. That does mean every anti-immigration opinion will soon be prohibited. This is an extreme case.
“Hansard” once again throws in a typical argument often seen or heard: Melia’s case was “extreme”, and most people need not fear persecution or prosecution. Yeah, right!
Presumably, “Hansard” meant to tweet that “that does not mean every anti-immigration opinion will soon be prohibited“. His Freudian slip tells the truth, though, despite his intention. Every anti-immigration opinion will soon be prohibited. Melia’s case is a clear signpost.
Already, almost anything not laudatory, and said about Jewish or Zionist behaviour, is almost by default deemed “grossly offensive”.
Incidentally, I notice that “Hansard”, despite having been on Twitter/X since 2012, has only 461 Twitter/X “followers”. When a pack of Zionist Jews connected with the “CAA” had my Twitter account closed down in 2018, I had over 3,000 “followers”, despite my only following about 50 accounts, mostly organizations. If someone had 3,000 “followers” back in 2018, the same person has at least 6,000 now, usually.
I do not know who or what that “David Hansard” is. What is his locus standi to be published, and/or boosted by Toby Young etc? I have no idea. Well, there it is.
Speaking of Sam Melia and Laura Towler, their crowdfunder [https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia] has, as of time of writing, smashed through the Ā£60,000 barrier and stands at Ā£60,374, and still increasing.
I urge everyone to send at least the minimum (Ā£4) and a message of support. Stick it to the System and the “usual suspects”.

“Walked into a restaurant in Londonās Chinatown last night, While waiting to be seated, some drunken fool, a person Iāve neither met before nor interacted with, sitting with other drunken fools, looks up at me out of nowhere, and asks rather loudly– āAre you Jewish?ā
I was Stunned. I wasnāt dressed in anything traditional, nor had anything indicating my faith. The fact that itās a bizarre thing to ask, not this idiotās, business, and just a weird thing for him to have done, I was just shocked – realizing that fairly a year ago he wouldnāt have had the gall to do that 1 million different responses raced through my mind.
And to my surprise, (and Iām sure to my Momās satisfaction,) the one I chose was to just turn to my friend, carry on talking – and ignore the sheer stupidity I encountered. No point in wrestling with a pig. You both get dirty & the pig likes it. My pride in my Judaism is not going to override my common sense. Wishing you all a lovely Sunday.“
Strange how Jews, or many Jews, find it absolutely insulting to be recognized as Jews (as does the one tweeting above, notwithstanding that he claims to be proud to be a Jew).
I have lived in a number of foreign countries, and would quite often be asked, unexpectedly, “are you [whatever nationality]?” I did not find it insulting (as a matter of fact, I was often mistaken for American or German anyway, as well as, on other occasions, correctly identified as English).
Jews are different. They seem to find it a deadly insult to be identified as Jewish, no matter what.
What can one say? Not much, since free speech is all but dead in England…
Only now, writing that, did it come to mind that I had such an experience when hitch-hiking, aged early twenties, going between Hammersmith Flyover in London and Herefordshire late at night. 1980, I think.
I was picked up by a large truck, and that truck took me most of the way. En route, there was the usual desultory kind of conversation. Eventually, the driver asked me where I was from. I replied that I was presently living in London. The driver then asked, “yes, but where did you originally come from? What country?”
It transpired that that truck driver thought that I was not English but something else, but he could not guess what.
Not sure why the driver thought that I was from a foreign country; maybe because I was learning Russian and German (part-time). In fact, I had that very evening come straight from a small Russian conversation circle in Belgravia (at the GB-USSR Association, a cultural and para-diplomatic body funded by the Foreign Office). Maybe that had slightly affected my normal speech, though it seems unlikely.

An interesting weapon. If it is as good as the Israelis claim, it would be very effective (for either side) in the Ukrainian theatre, but at present it is claimed (in the clip in that tweet) that Israel alone has it.
Lee Anderson defects to Reform. Reform get their first Member of Parliament. And say they'll specifically target the Red Wall at the next general election. Here's the wider plan š https://t.co/flCYHN6cFY
I don’t see Reform UK making much headway, despite the inadequacies of the main System parties. Well, perhaps I am wrong; we shall quite soon find out.

Macron is upping the ante and playing escalation in Ukraine with bad cards in hand . There is no unity in the European Union and NATO on the issue of sending troops into Ukrainian territory, and French ground forces are not ready for direct confrontation with the Russian army. pic.twitter.com/zg5TujM8j5
I used to think that NATO would stick together in the event of conflict with the then Soviet Union (and later the Russian Federation), but that was assuming that NATO’s basic posture would be defensive, defending Western Europe from Soviet invasion, or (later) defending NATO’s new front-lines in the Baltic region.
Now? I am not so sure, and Macron’s belligerence looks more like an unnecessary attack on the Russian front-lines in the Ukrainian theatre. Will other NATO states directly support an attack of that nature or support France if Russia attacked its armies? I am thinking “not necessarily”. I certainly cannot see the USA going that far. If it did, of course, it might lead to a Third World War.

[“Toby Young in a 2018 article: “I felt as if Israel and the wonderful example of its founders had saved me and I swore an oath that I would always defend the country from its detractors.In the 37 years since, I have done my best to keep that promise and been back several times to renew my vows.”Does anyone seriously think he would stand up for your free speech if you called out Zionist control in the West or Israeli war crimes?“].
What “founders” does he mean?
Last November, he, Allison Pearson, and Laura Dodsworth became directors of the British Friends of Israel.

I expect that the rebel “Conservative” MPs have someone else in mind, probably one of the non-whites like Kemi Badenoch or Suella Braverman (or, even worse, arguably, the return of “Boris”-idiot).
