I am old enough to remember those little shops. One in particular, in Caversham Heights, near Reading, early 1960s. The sweets were dispensed by the owner, I think an otherwise-retired old fellow, who sold them in small white-paper bags. A wide range, but I either bought small boiled sweets (very small balls of hard candy), or a kind of chewing gum that came with collectable cards depicting (and explaining) battles of the American Civil War of the 1860s. I wanted the cards, not the gum.
Very gory, those cards (as I discovered only when I belatedly read law, 20 years later) were the subject of a legal case (as to whether they counted as “obscene” because of their bloodsoaked content), which case went as high as the House of Lords (House of Lords Judicial Committee, the forerunner of the present UK Supreme Court). That was around 1965, only a couple of years after I used to buy the cards.
I remember that all my friends (who also bought the cards) favoured the Confederate side, but I (alone, I think) favoured the Union. Not sure now, over 60 years later, whether that was because the Union side was more efficient, or more advanced in weaponry, or just because I wanted to go contrary to the views of the mob.
The sweetshop in question was actually made out of the front part of an ordinary late-19thC house, which (I see from Google maps and streetview) has now reverted to being just a house again.
I also remember the little sweetshop because, aged about 7, I sheltered in that tiny shop after I (God knows why, now, but it would have been in self-defence) hit another boy, and then was sought out by the much older, and rather fearsome, brother of the same. In the end, the older boy caught me outside but, after I explained that I had hit his brother in self-defence, he was very reasonable, and let me off. Maybe I had dormant barristerial skills even then (or at least the ability to get out of scrapes)…

Don't complain about how much welfare benefits cost. Over 40% of Universal Credit goes to people who are working. No one working should need UC. No one is even trying to solve the real problems in the UK.
True, but the “welfare” bill would be very low were it not for the existence of literally millions of non-white parasites in the UK, both the migrants and the children and grandchildren of migrants and former migrants.

“Almost 63,000 asylum seekers whose cases were placed on hold by the Tories could be granted permission to stay in Britain under Labour.
A report by the Refugee Council predicts a significant increase in granted claims thanks to changes brought in by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.
Of 118,882 asylum seekers who were waiting for a Home Office decision at the general election, 62,801 are likely to secure refugee status here based on current rates, the report said.”
[Daily Mail]
Exactly as I have been predicting for the past couple of years.
Stand by for the next “shock”— Starmer and Yvette Cooper “processing” asylum claims in France or even in Africa and Asia, and “allowing” (rubberstamping) 90%+ to come to the UK, then to claim housing, cash benefits, NHS and other services.
Somewhere down the line there will be a complete collapse of our society, possibly in, or followed by, a social/racial/civil war.
Incidentally, over 14,000 migrant-invaders have used the “small boats” method to arrive here this year, so far. That, though, is only about 5%, if that, of the total of migration to the UK so far this year. Over the whole of 2024, the total will be at least half a million, quite likely more.
I live very close to a small southern Hampshire coastal town, reputedly one of the most affluent in the UK. Over the past decade or so, I first noticed quite a few Chinese appearing in the streets, but at first not many blacks or browns, only the odd one. The proportion of all non-Europeans, compared to (real) British people, has risen inexorably. It is patent, quite visible on the streets, even here. In larger towns and cities, such as Southampton and Bournemouth, let alone London, it is much much worse, and still getting worse.
There it is. The main Jewish religious text (the Torah, being the first 5 books of the Hebrew Bible, the same as the first 5 books of the Old Testament) is about twice as violent, even on a superficial view, as the main texts of both Islam and Christianity.

Much of Africa had functioning railways when Europeans ruled. Few of those lines are left (mostly in South Africa, but some elsewhere too). Some new lines are planned.
I myself have only travelled once on African rail but that was, again, under white European rule, in 1977, travelling from Bulawayo, Rhodesia (now “Zimbabwe”) to Gaborone in Botswana, an overnight journey that started just after midday, around 1300 hrs, at Bulawayo, and finished at seven-thirty the following morning at Gaborone. About 18 hours. The train then continued on into South Africa, finishing either at Ladysmith or Mafeking (I forget). That would have been inconvenient to me, so I hopped off in Botswana.
Fortunately, the train was not hit en route (as it had been several times previously) by rocket or small arms fire from African terrorists/guerrillas/”freedom fighters” in the Rhodesia-Botswana border area (take your pick as to designation), the Rhodesian Bush War being at or near its height at the time.

No details about the polling, so I am entitled to presume that those figures are simply invented, the “poll” having been released by the globalist and finance-capitalist Policy Exchange “think tank” (lobby group). I should hate to have to conclude that 49% of the people in this country are ignorant morons.
The Commonwealth has been a complete waste of time and money for decades now, in any case.
Even now, the Kiev-regime front is crumbling, with Russian forces advancing on all sectors of the active front, and the Kiev regime struggling to find enough soldiers (many with as little as 6 weeks’ training) to plug the gaps. Untold thousands are evading or avoiding the draft, and brutal press-gangs are scouring the cities and towns.
This latest move could be a game-changer. The Koreans are tough, the North Koreans maybe even more so than those in the South.
I recall that, in 1984, when I was a taekwando beginner, I watched a film about South Korea’s advanced taekwando training academy, a modern white-painted concrete-and-glass building out in the Korean countryside. That film started with a contingent of trainees, all neat, none looking hot or sweaty, and all in white costume with black belts, jogging in perfect formation. The voiceover explained that the students had just finished a 10-mile run, and that all students at that academy were already of at least basic black belt standard when they started at the academy.
I wonder where Putin and the Stavka (Russian high command) will deploy those Korean troops. Clausewitz would seem to indicate that they be kept together rather than dispersed, thus forming a spearhead force that, concentrated on one area of the front, might be able to create a Schwerpunkt breakthrough.

The reasons for this latest injustice are, of course, obvious.
Firstly, Huw Edwards is a member of the System msm/political/talking head/scribbler club. Pro-migration invasion, pro-multikulti, pro-System, pro-Israel (probably), pro-Jew-lobby (almost certainly), pro-LGBTXYZ, pro-“trans” nonsense, and so on.
The lady sentenced to an incredibly harsh 31 months for an understandable (if unwise) tweet or whatever is not a member of that “club”. She is “just” a wife and (to use the very good American word) homemaker. A normal citizen, in short.
The System protects its own, such as Huw Edwards; ordinary citizens are treated like trash.
Secondly, Huw Edwards was guilty of a non-political offence. In the new sub-Stalinist Britain, socio-political “crimes” such as posting the “wrong sort of” tweet, or criticizing the Jewish lobby, or the migration invasion, are treated far more harshly than “real” crimes, non-political crimes.
Lucy Connolly has been treated harshly because of, and, in my opinion only because of, those two factors.
There was no evidence that any of the actual protesters or “rioters” were influenced by, or even saw, her tweet and/or her WhatsApp message (though that need not be proven to make out the offence). Still, those facts should surely mitigate sentence.
I have two or three further thoughts about the matter: firstly, that her husband or someone else should set up a GoFundMe or other crowdfunder for her; secondly, that she should have pleaded Not Guilty. She may well have been lucky in her jury.
It might also be worth her while to consider an appeal on sentence (alone).
As it is, 40% of 31 months translates to about 12 months and 1 week actually in prison. I believe that I read at the time of her arraignment that she was remanded in custody prior to sentence. That was sometime in August of this year, so she has already been in prison for —I think— over 2 months. That should mean that she can expect release within about 10 months. Still very harsh, in my view.
The sentencing judge (a Recorder, i.e. p/t judge, and barrister) apparently made the ridiculous remark today that “It is [a/the] strength of our society that it is both diverse and inclusive.” Does he really and honestly believe that?!
So another person has received a harsher yet sentence for merely having reposted part of one of Mrs. Connolly’s messages.
I have to say that Mrs. Connolly’s husband does not strike me as being or having been particularly outspoken in her defence, but I suppose that I could be mistaken about him. I should not like to think that his reserved response has anything to do with his pathetic local Conservative Party activity.

The Times is reporting tonight that Rachel Thieves is planing big tax rises and spending cuts totalling an eye-watering £40billion, a figure far higher than disclosed before. Nightmare on Skint Street starts on October 30.
Meanwhile, ever more migrant-invaders are being sheltered, fed, given medical and dental services (etc) and pocket money by the UK state (i.e. British taxpayers).
Meanwhile, billions of pounds are being spent on military aid to Israel, a state which hates, despises, and exploits us; millions more are wasted on “security” for the Jewish “community” in the UK, including tens of millions thrown to the Jewish “Community Security Trust” [“CST”], the strongarm and snoop organization founded by a Jewish exploiter and fraudster.
Meanwhile, billions of pounds each year have been wasted, continue to be wasted, and are now pledged by Starmer to continue into the future, sent to the corrupt, shambolic, and brutal dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev.
"Starmer accused of weakening Britain by pushing for UN Security Council reform
"Prime Minister looks to double the number of permanent members with representatives from Africa, Brazil and India"https://t.co/LHnY8YevrQ
The whole idea of the UN Security Council is that it consists only of the largest and most significant states which have real military power; states which are large geopolitical players and which, in practice, are also nuclear powers: USA, UK, France, Russia, China. All hold the power of veto.
As usual, Starmer tries to play the statesman, rather than the grubby little careerist bureaucrat that he is. He is entirely unconvincing. There he goes, interfering in completely irrelevant and pointless matters overseas, when his own country is close to crisis.
For Starmer, the one-time criminal lawyer, what matters is fiddling around with rules and regulations, rather than trying to achieve concrete socio-political results in the real world.
The entire country, pretty much, has already come to the conclusion that Starmer is in the wrong job.
In any case, how does Starmer intend to “push for” reform of the UN Security Council when all 5 permanent members have a veto, and when, even if that could be overcome somehow, the Security Council would become a dead letter, were the USA to withdraw completely? In fact, in that circumstance, the UN itself would become a dead letter, and might as well just close down.
The military-destructive power of the USA is such that, without American agreement, most Security Council resolutions would be otiose, as would be, a fortiori, any resolutions actively opposed by the USA.
Starmer is a total waste of space.

Police believe the incident at 1pm on July 2 was triggered by the pensioner insisting that women and children board the bus first which his attacker believed was holding others up.“
The train – the first of 94 new trains bought as part of a £2.9bn upgrade of one of the London Underground’s busiest lines – was being transported from the Siemens factory in Vienna when it was targeted.

The US demands that Kiev conscript Ukrainians from the age of 18, the adviser to the head of Zelensky's office, Serhiy Leshchenko. According to him, the US is pressuring the Kiev leadership with arguments that the Vietnam War conscripted people from the age of 19.
Yes, that is one extraordinary aspect of the whole mess. The Kiev regime is presently conscripting only those aged 27+ (in theory, younger men —and women— can volunteer, though few now do). The result is that the Kiev-regime forces are full of the middle-aged, while those approaching the age of 27 desperately try to flee the country, or hide inside Ukraine, or buy fake exemption papers, or bribe doctors etc.
I can only assume that the Zelensky cabal has decided that the under-27s have to be exempted on the grounds that the Ukrainians are actually dying out, and more babies have to be born. Demographically, Ukraine has no future, even when compared to Russia, or to the countries of Central and Western Europe.
Having said that, it seems that younger men are being press-ganged, illegally. Zelensky’s “Ukraine” is both brutal and shambolic.

The Israelis and their worldwide web are a global menace.
“A radical feminist opera which includes explicit lesbian sex scenes, real blood and injuries, and naked roller-skating nuns, has left 18 audience members needing medical treatment in Germany.
Sancta Susanna by composer Paul Hindemith caused a scandal back in 1921, with outraged critics labelling the one-act opera, which tells the story of a suppressed nun discovering her sexuality, too blasphemous to be shown.
Its premiere at the Stuttgart Opera was cancelled, but more than 100 years later, it has now been staged in the city for the first time – with the shock factor amped up to dizzying new heights in what its creators call a ‘radical vision of the Holy Mass’.
The ‘feminist mass’ sees the central character, a young nun called Susanna discover her sexuality, eventually pulling down Christ’s loincloth on the crucifix in the scandalous climax. At one point, the nude nun has sex with the icon.
The performance has an age restriction of 18, and incorporates sex acts, painful stunts, real and fake blood, piercings and the infliction of a wound on stage.”
[Daily Mail]
Incidentally, the poor literacy of the Daily Mail and similar comics is again apparent in that report, “suppressed” used when the scribbler obviously meant “repressed“.
“The Nazis‘ relationship to Hindemith’s music was complicated. Some condemned his music as “degenerate” (largely based on his early, sexually charged operas such as Sancta Susanna).
“In December 1934, during a speech at the Berlin Sports Palace, Germany’s Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels publicly denounced Hindemith as an “atonal noisemaker”.[9]
The Nazis banned his music in October 1936, and he was subsequently included in the 1938 Entartete Musik (Degenerate Music) exhibition in Düsseldorf.[10]
Other officials working in Nazi Germany, though, thought that he might provide Germany with an example of a modern German composer, as, by this time, he was writing music based in tonality, with frequent references to folk music. The conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler‘s defence of Hindemith, published in 1934, takes this line.[11]
The controversy around his work continued throughout the thirties, with Hindemith falling in and out of favour with the Nazis.“
Few people today realize quite how decadent the 1918-1933 Weimar Republic was. That was one reason why, from the spiritual-cultural point of view, National Socialism had to come to power, to rescue the future of Germany and the German people from the basest decadence.
Now, we see the same cultural sickness and death, in sometimes even worse manifestations, spreading across Europe, and across much of the world, particularly what is regarded as the civilized world.

The ‘replacement rate’ for a country whereby it is reproducing itself over time is 2.1 but in Britain this rate has slumped from 3.0 in the 1960s, to 1.5 in 2022, is forecast to crash to 1.38 by the year 2050 and then 1.3 by 2100, making it impossible to keep the population stable.
In other words, what demographers call “natural negative change” among the native population, alongside the other key changes below, will now only accelerate in the years ahead.”

Yesterday saw my blog post no. 2,000 published. Today’s blog post is therefore no. 2001.
The past nearly 8 years have seen the blog published most days, latterly about 28 or 29 days per month, despite concerted attempts by Jew-Zionists to shut down the blog either directly (by pressure on the hosting organization) or indirectly (via making repeated malicious and false complaints to the police and “Clown” Prosecution Service, with the idea of having me prosecuted, convicted etc and possibly ordered to cease publishing).
All attempts so far have failed. The excellent (and recommended) WordPress organization, based in the USA, has stayed true, overall, to principles of free speech and freedom of expression and, though I was eventually (in my opinion, wrongfully) prosecuted (in 2023) and (in my opinion, wrongfully) convicted, the sentence passed (in March 2024) changed nothing. The blog has been unaffected by direct court order; only by the perceived need to be more diplomatic in terms of how certain criticisms etc are couched. The legal position remains unchanged from what it was in 2023 or 2022 or, indeed, 2017.
I post, below, the blog articles around my 2023 free speech trial.
I take comfort, inter alia, in the fact that a number of my worst persecutors over the years have disappeared from view; some have died, while others have suffered other blows of Fate. Truly, “the stars in their courses fight on the side of the just” [ancient Chinese proverb].

For her parents to arrive in 1980 from Nigeria, and then she, a person with no British ancestry, no ties to our history or the land, to become leader of the country… It's ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as Rishi Sunak being a "Yorkshireman".
Her parents may have arrived “off the boat” (or plane) in 1980, but after having been born here (no doubt by design on the part of her parents), Kemi Badenoch returned to her (in reality) native Nigeria, where she lived in Lagos (and also in the USA) until the age of 16, i.e. in 1996. She then relocated to the UK.
This is ridiculous. The British people deserve better.

When the October 2023 attack occurred, two things surprised me: I was very surprised, frankly (having spent time in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab/Muslim world) that the Arabs were capable of both organizing and pulling off such a surprise attack, and also of keeping it a secret (assuming that they did) from the feared Israeli intelligence and security orgs.
There was something else that occurred to me, which was that the attack seemed to be, in a strategic sense, pointless, though it was at the time a tactical success (leaving aside the human cost and so on).
Of course, I assumed also —as it turned out, very mistakenly— that even if the inevitable Israeli response was far from actually “proportionate”, that it would be relatively so. I assumed that the Israelis would be satisfied with killing maybe 2,000 or 3,000 Gazans in retaliation for the supposed 1,200 killed by Hamas operatives in October 2023 (though it seems that many of those may have been killed in reckless “friendly fire” by the Israelis themselves).
I did not think that Israel would kill 42,000+ people, mainly civilians (indeed, mainly women and children), and horribly injure another 100,000+. The “genocidal” Israeli revenge still continues at time of writing.
I have no idea why the Hamas leadership did not bide its time, extend and expand its tunnel network, create perhaps one or more deep long-distance tunnels reaching far up the Israeli coast or even to Central Israel, then make a more devastating incursion at a much later date, perhaps not for years. That will be a question to be pondered upon by military specialists at staff colleges in the coming years.

I would love to see the US distance itself greatly from Israel. The Middle East has changed. We have bought the silence of Egypt, Jordan & Saudi Arabia. They will not attack Israel. We can change our policies towards Israel. It’s in our beta interest as a nation.
I strongly support that. I was quite shocked to hear, in 1989, in Warsaw, and from the lips of a Polish girl I knew slightly, that my old haunt, Raoul’s (cafe) in Little Venice (London), where she had worked (she used to serve me my coffees) would take a high percentage of the tips given to the wait staff. That money would, so I was told, go to the woman who owned the cafe. Disgraceful.
Incidentally, the manager of the cafe at that time was a very pleasant young-ish Lebanese, who referred to the Jews who were a fairly large proportion of the clientele as “the Chosen“. Sardonic.
Apropos of nothing much, that Lebanese seemed to regard me as omniscient when it came to knowing who —using the cafe— was who. By way of example, I remember him asking once, in the 1990s, who was the black man sitting with a rather spectacularly-dressed black —I think African— woman. The manager asked me to go into the cafe —I was seated outside— and pretend to order something so that I could take a look.
I was able to identify the black man as Paul Boateng [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Boateng#Member_of_Parliament]. I had seen Boateng previously, not only on TV but also in person, when he was at Harrow Crown Court as Counsel in 1992 or 1993. It may be that he lived somewhere in the Maida Vale area; I do not know.

“A GP worried about his inheritance disguised himself as a nurse and injected deadly poison into his victim, who thought he was getting a home-visit Covid booster, a court has heard.
Thomas Kwan was not injecting Covid vaccine into Patrick O’Hara, prosecutors allege, but a poison that gave O’Hara a rare and life-threatening flesh-eating disease.
“Sometimes, occasionally perhaps, the truth really is stranger than fiction,” said Peter Makepeace KC as he opened the prosecution case against Kwan at Newcastle crown court on Thursday.
Kwan, 53, is accused of attempting to murder O’Hara, his mother’s long-term partner and a “potential impediment” to him inheriting her estate.
The court heard Kwan devised an intricate plan to kill 71-year-old O’Hara, who lived in Newcastle with Kwan’s mother, by disguising himself as a community nurse and injecting him with poison.
Makepeace said the plan involved Kwan forging NHS documentation, disguising himself, using false number plates, and booking in to a hotel using a false name.
Police recovered a photograph from Kwan’s computer of him in disguise with a wig, beard and moustache.
“It was an audacious plan,” Makepeace told the jury. “It was a plan to murder a man in plain sight, to murder a man right in front of his own mother’s eyes, that man’s life partner.”
[Guardian]
Looks like a case so unusual that it may go down in criminal history, and be found in “true crime” anthologies, in television series etc.
The Prosecution Counsel in the case is someone with whom I was once acquainted, we both being part of a group of about 7 or 8 Bar students grouped together for the “Practical Exercises” which were then (1987-88) part of the Bar Finals course at the Inns of Court School of Law in London. All our names began with “M”. After that time, I only encountered Makepeace a few times: once or twice in a robing room (where barristers get changed for court) at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, I appearing at the High Court, he in the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division); and once at the christening of a baby, child of two others of the same Bar School group. He was then based at York.

“Pine martens return to Dartmoor after 150-year absence.
“Fifteen of the nimble, tree-climbing mammals were released last month at secret locations in Devon.
Fifteen pine martens are darting through the woods of Dartmoor for the first time in 150 years after the rare but recovering species was reintroduced into south-west England.
The nimble, tree-climbing mustelids were released last month at secret locations in the steep, tree-lined valleys of Devon in what conservationists are hailing as a historic step in the restoration of the region’s woodlands.
The eight adult females and seven males were caught from resurgent populations in Scotland, meticulously checked for health, and driven to 10 woodland pens, where they were released under the cover of darkness well away from people and busy roads. The threat of road traffic is a big risk for the mostly nocturnal animals.
Fitted with GPS or radio tags depending on their size (lighter radio tags were used on the smaller individuals), the animals were fed in the pens for three days to acclimatise, before the doors were opened and the martens slipped away into the night.
Pine martens were driven to extinction in England at the turn of the 20th century by the loss of forests and persecution, with gamekeepers in particular targeting the animals for preying upon pheasants and poultry.“

Iranian attack on Israel
Puzzling to an observer. It seems that the attack was mostly if not entirely on military targets. The Israelis are keeping the scale of the damage secret. I had thought that there would be a large number of civilian casualties (as when the Israelis attack Lebanon, Gaza, Syria etc) but it seems that hardly any Israelis have been killed or even injured.
I have seen no indication of whether the Dimona nuclear weapons plant was hit.
Likewise, it seems odd that the main international airport suffered no, or no substantial, damage. I should have thought that that would have been a priority target.
Looking on from outside, it is hard to fully understand both the overall situation and the details, such as how many rockets (and of what type) Iranian forces have; likewise on the Israeli side.
Well, appoint members of the House of Lords from the bazaars of South Asia, from the slums of Jamaica and West Africa, and from the tribe of “the usual suspects”, and naturally the whole institution crumbles. Who would have guessed?…
NEW Overwhelming support for James Cleverly in 10 random interviews I’ve just done for @GBNEWS with members leaving the hall just now. Many have switched from other candidates. It seems Cleverly won the debate in the hall. Will MPs put him through to the final two next week?…
A half-African, with a “degree” in Hospitality Management from Ealing College, as Leader of the Conservative Party and, potentially, as Prime Minister? What could possibly go wrong? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cleverly.
Having said that, the other three candidates are also bad jokes: a Nigerian woman married to a banker of uncertain provenance; a part-Jew former “chocolate soldier”; a dishonest and corrupt moneygrubber married to a Jewish woman lawyer. All three vocally pro-Israel.
At least Cleverly is rather less vocal in his support for Israel and the Jewish lobby.
I suppose that most scribblers and msm talking heads are expecting the Conservative Party to revive as Starmer’s hopeless government continues to falter (after only 3 months), but that may not happen.
For me, the most telling aspect of GE 2024 is that, in broad terms, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote at all. Beyond that, out of the 12 that did vote, only 4 voted “Labour”, only 3 voted “Conservative”, and then 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 (just about) voted Green.
At present, the underwhelming Reform UK is the only game in town in terms of becoming an unofficial populist Opposition. The LibDems are just beneficiaries of a ridiculously illogical voting system. The “don’t know how to vote so vote LibDem” party.
None of the 4 contenders for Conservative Party leadership are really of any importance; none —say I— will ever be Prime Minister.

“The Charity Commission has discovered that Naomi Campbell’s “anti-poverty” charity raised £4.8million but only £389K went to good causes.
I suggest she fills the hole from her personal $ 80million fortune. The commission have now banned her from running a charity for five years as they they found widespread financial misconduct.
Astonished there isn’t a police investigation.
It emerged during the inquiry that the charity paid £9,400 for Campbell to stay three nights in a five-star Cannes hotel where she was appearing in a fashion fundraiser for the charity. Surprise, surprise the charity had chosen its fashion to coincide with the city’s film festival. The stars were aligned! Further, she ran up a bill of £6,000, once again paid by the charity, on spar treatment, room service and even her cigarettes. A new low. Not even paying for her own fags.
Campbell, 54, set up Fashion for Relief in 2005 saying she had been inspired by her “ honourable mentor” Nelson Mandela. Don’t imagine Mandela wants his name linked in that way. The charity was supposed, to provide relief during humanitarian disasters. All it provided was supplying relief when you needed a packet of cigarettes.
Another trustee , a lawyer, was banned for 9 years. He had received £290,000 over two years in unauthorised consultancy fees but picked up an average £26,000 a year in expenses. All this scandal confirms is the reason many don’t contribute to charity.“
As for charities, the regulation of them is far too lax, from the political and other activities of the larger charities (and the massive salaries they pay to the few at the top) to the smaller ones, some of which are outright frauds, as with the “Captain Tom” nonsense.
Of course, the egregious online “grifters”, such as “Jack Monroe”, the Jew Simon Harris (aka “Man Behaving Dadly”), the Depher UK fellow, Julia Grace Patterson, Mike Stuchbery, “Supertanskiii” are not, most of them, registered as charities anyway.

“Robber disguised as police officer raided wealthy Sandbanks home.
An armed robber who tied up and threatened to shoot the wife and daughter of a wealthy company director in their Sandbanks home has been jailed for 16 years.
Career criminal Aaron Evans and accomplice Ashley Fulton held Kerry and Emily Aitchison at gunpoint during the terrifying raid on their luxury home overlooking Poole Harbour.
After tying up Mrs Aitchison they threatened to burn Emily, 22, with an iron and then shoot her mother in front of her if she didn’t open the safe.
Brave Mrs Aitchison, 55, called the pair ‘scum of the earth’ and didn’t give them the code.
Evans and Fulton ransacked the £2.5m house before fleeing with more than £200,000 worth of luxury watches, designer handbags, jewellery and cash.
The bungling robbers made a catalogue of errors that led police to their door.”
[Bournemouth Echo]
The full report is worth reading.
What struck me most, apart from the unpleasant violence and the sheer ineptitude of the robbers, was the fact that those robbers, despite not having been able to gain access to the safe, yet escaped with over £200,000 in cash, jewels, and other items.
The report says that the husband of the lady attacked owns, via a company, 21 care homes.
There is something wrong with England, with its economy and society, when someone can own 21 care homes and profit so much that, even in his own home, he and his family have hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash and jewels loosely lying around. Plus whatever was or is in that home safe. Plus, no doubt, investments which may well amount to millions.
For me, that is an example of what a Conservative leader (Edward Heath) once called “the unacceptable face of capitalism” (though Heath was referring to a very different kind of company— Lonrho).
On a smaller scale, I once encountered another example of such profiteering.
When I was a barrister based in chambers in Exeter (2002-2008), I appeared fairly frequently, often several days a week, at Exeter County Court which, for silly ideological reasons, was planned and built without any parking available at all. People have either to walk to public car parks or find parking nearby.
I used to park at a nearby hotel, and occasionally talked to the elderly-seeming attendant. It turned out that the parking there was contracted out to the attendant’s son-in-law, who had left the Royal Marines without a penny, and had started one of those vulture clamping outfits, later getting contracts with hotels etc. As I was hearing this, a beautiful blonde drove out in a new Range-Rover. The attendant’s daughter. The wealth and display thereof had been acquired within only 2 years of car parking activity.
Britain used to make things, sell things, and have decent professions like the Bar (now mostly trashed), but not now; these days, rather unpleasant nouveaux riches “coin it” as parasites, rather than useful private enterprise people. Car parking. Care homes. Buy-to-let.

Public confidence in the government has collapsed as new poll shows 60% believe Labour will lose the next election and half think Starmer won't hang on as PM. Less than 3 months in, and the wheels have fallen off his bandwagon. Is he the most hated PM?https://t.co/J0mpvb1bQs
🔴 Sixty per cent of voters believe Sir Keir Starmer’s party will not manage a second term in power, less than three months after its landslide election victory.
Still, one has to admit that, for a woman who got “knocked-up” at 16, and who has really no substantial educational or work background, let alone cultural depth, Angela Rayner really has hit the Lotto in terms of careerism. “Deputy Prime Minister”, no less…
As frequently blogged previously, Starmer-Labour is “Blair-Brown New Labour Mark 2” but, in Marx’s words, “first time tragedy, second time farce“…
“New Labour” did various things, implemented various policies, mostly wrongheaded in either conception or implementation, or funding, or all three, but it was at least attempting to do things, to solve perceived problems.
I always had the impression about Starmer-Labour, even before it took over the reins of power, that it merely wanted to be in government, but had no real programme (a bit like Cameron-Levita’s government).
Hope you can sleep well in the knowledge that many pensioners will this year have to decide between eating and heating!

The UK msm is not much reporting the war in Ukraine at present. That probably means that Russian forces continue to advance, particularly in the Donetsk region.

A long and interesting report from the Financial Times, from a correspondent presently in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, almost on the front-line, and the report published only 7 hours ago.
Looks as if the situation in that region of Eastern Ukraine is at a tipping point. Russian forces will soon prevail, precipitating a strategic withdrawal or even rout of Kiev-regime forces, and a huge strategic advantage for the Russian side.
Once the Kiev-regime incursion in the Kursk region of Russia, by north-eastern Ukraine, falters and fails, as seems inevitable, the Russian Stavka (high command) will be able to transfer thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of battle-hardened troops back to the Donetsk region front, thus further pressuring the Kiev-regime forces there.

One must feel sorry for those hapless Kiev-regime soldiers, sent to fight, inadequately trained, under poor field commanders and poor strategists, for the Jewish-Zionist regime in Kiev, all under cover of a fake “Ukrainian nationalism” which is merely doing the will of foreign NWO/ZOG cabals.
War is hell, of course, and in some respects becoming ever more hellish now that drones dominate the infantry battlefield, with robot tanks and robot soldiers probably not far down the line.

No dissent allowed. Young heckler grabbed by his throat by Labour goons, and hustled out, getting roughed-up a bit (even where the cameras are filming).
Actually, look at the audience. Despite much said about Labour and “youth”, most of that audience of Labour loyalists consists of grey-haired and white-haired people, especially on the tiers at the back and sides of the hall.
A pretty small audience, too, compared to the Labour conferences of the past (1970s, 1980s).
Of course, in the past, the major Labour figures had weight, and some of them (Denis Healey, Harold Wilson, Michael Foot, Roy Jenkins etc) had genuine intellectual depth. Not that I agreed with much of what they had to say, but they were not dummies, not even that old humbug and hypocrite Michael Foot.
Now look at the top Labour-label idiots! Starmer is the one-eyed man in the country of the blind, and they therefore made him “king for a day”. Angela Rayner (need one say more?). Rachel Reeves. David Lammy, that deadhead…(etc). Shockingly low-quality.

Worth reading. Something like that, or worse, could happen if the rush to war with Russia is not halted. Preventing such a war should be the number one priority for statesmen of all nations.
“Israel’s ‘war on five fronts’: How Jewish state faces all-out conflict against its Middle Eastern enemies after ‘killing hundreds’ in latest Hezbollah strikes as Lebanon accuses it of carrying out an ‘extermination’.
Israel intensified the conflict in the Middle East to new levels today, killing more than 180 people in Lebanon in the latest attacks since military officials declared a ‘new phase’ of war against Hezbollah had begun last week.
Hezbollah in 2006 reportedly had some 15,000 rockets in its arsenal, ‘but more recent unofficial estimates suggest this number has multiplied by almost 10 times,’ said Dina Arakji, associate analyst at UK-based risk consultancy firm Control Risks.
Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) corroborates that assessment, estimating that the group’s arsenal counts 150,000 to 200,000 rockets, including ‘hundreds’ of precision missiles and thousands of drones.
Hezbollah also boasts a range of anti-tank and anti-air systems, a fleet of thousands of drones, and dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles, and claims to have up to 100,000 active fighters – though INSS estimates the number is more likely 25,000 to 50,000.
And, like Hamas, Hezbollah has an extensive tunnel network along the Lebanese-Israeli border which serves as a strategic asset for clandestine movement, storage, and guerrilla warfare.
While Jerusalem would assuredly emerge victorious thanks to its technological capabilities and raw numeric advantage in terms of firepower and manpower, Hezbollah would be able to inflict massive damage.
Its terrifying missile and drone arsenal is large enough to quickly overwhelm Israel’s air defences if deployed in earnest, and the thousands upon thousands of Hezbollah fighters that could stream into northern Israel would be continuously supported by well-established air and ground supply routes from its chief backer Iran via Iraq and Syria.
The Islamic Republic has thousands upon thousands of long-range and precision-guided missiles alongside hundreds of thousands of mid-range cruise missiles.
This appears to be the worst-case scenario feared by Israeli defence experts – a coordinated attack in which Iran, Hezbollah and other allies launch wave after wave of missile and drone strikes that overwhelm Israel’s air defences and devastate towns and cities.
But many analysts say that terrifying prospect is unlikely…
…some prominent Israeli officials – including grizzled IDF veterans – warn that Jerusalem’s pursuit of further hostilities could push the Axis of Resistance a step too far.
Itzhak Brik, a former Major General in the IDF, told the Jerusalem Post that a full-scale war with Iran and its proxies could ultimately result in the destruction of the state of Israel.
‘Iran and its proxies have 250,000 missiles, rockets, and drones encircling Israel, which means about 4,000 munitions hitting the Israeli home front on a daily basis.
‘Population centres, Haifa Bay, water and electricity facilities, gas fields [in the Mediterranean Sea], IDF bases, and strategic civilian infrastructure… A regional war can ruin the State of Israel,’ he concluded.“
Well, a good week— 9/10, thus trumping the 6.5/10 claimed by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answer to question 7.

Illegal immigration is a scourge that is destroying the west. Countries have a duty to citizens to vet individuals who enter. Failure to do so it not merely irresponsible but potentially suicidal. https://t.co/F7rRMn3c7A
For someone such as John Rentoul, the political landscape is effectively unchanging. There will, he imagines, always be a “Conservative” Party, a “Labour” Party and a can’t-decide “dustbin” party (LibDems). There will, he thinks, never be radical or revolutionary change in the UK.
For the John Rentouls of this world, mass immigration is good or at least OK, and it is mainly beneficial, with a few small problems along the way. After all, in Hampstead and Highgate (socio-political) hurricanes hardly ever happen…
First @techneUK poll since election (showing change from election result) Lab 33% -2 Con 21% -3 Lib Dem 13% ±0 Reform 18% +3 Green 7% ±0https://t.co/A0QbyGgyEp
The Westminster Bubble journalists such as John Rentoul seem to have missed the main point about GE 2024, i.e. that “Labour”-label did not “win”; the “Conservative” Party lost, and it lost because the voters wanted to bin it. Labour’s fake “landslide” was merely an unavoidable by-product of that, as was the non-existent (despite the huge increase in seats) “LibDem upsurge”.
In reality, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote (because there was no party they felt able to support, mainly). Of the remaining 12 that did vote, only 4 voted Labour, and many of those did so not because they really supported Labour but because they wanted to stamp on the last 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment. Also, 3 of the 12 voted Con, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and (almost) 1 voted Green.
My point here is that voters voted primarily to bin the Cons.
Rentoul and his type are assuming that if, in 2028 or 2029, the voters want to bin Lab, they will revert to voting Con. Maybe not. Maybe they will, even if not much convinced, turn to Reform UK, whatever its flaws.
Look at that Techne UK poll. Both Lab and Con down 2 or 3 points, but Reform UK up 3 points. It is not improbable to imagine Reform UK getting 20% of the vote, and 25% is not impossible.
Hung Parliament territory, with the existing FPTP voting system.
What if the population were to turn like a school of fish, and 30% were to vote Reform UK? Still hung Parliament, but with Reform UK challenging Labour for the position of being largest party in the Commons.
Naturally, I could only support (or lead) a social-national party, and Reform UK is far from being that, but one can see that events (particularly the catastrophic and continuing migration invasion) may propel Reform UK higher over the next few years, and that will move —has already moved— the “Overton window”. Next stop— social nationalism.
So the Labour Chancellor now in charge of HMRC mis-declared spending on designer clothes as “office expenses” to Parliament.

Keir Starmer’s leadership ratings have already CRASHED to MINUS 19. He’s in Prince Harry territory. And if his government keeps going like this he’ll be in Prince Andrew territory by Christmas.
I simply never thought it was possible Labour would be this bad. The biggest shock is Starmer’s astonishing lack of judgement, in pretty much every thing he says and does. Sensible Labour MPs must be utterly despairing
Looking back on my blog posts (re. Starmer, going back several years now), I think that I can claim to have been the first, or one of the first, to see what was coming down the line (as with “Boris”-idiot).
The sheer ineptitude does not surprise, in fact, though the very early and very public unmasking of Starmer (as unfit to be Prime Minister) does. I thought it would take longer for his deficiencies to become apparent.

“The Times reports that it’s now more expensive to power an electric car than to run a petrol or diesel vehicle.
Stats show using a public rapid charger cost 24.1p per mile, 16.4p for the slower public charger compared with 14.5p for petrol and 12.5p for diesel.
Homes which have a home charger are in much better shape due to dramatically cheaper electric meaning the journey will be between 2p to 7p a mile. But in cities three quarters of tenants and residents live in flats and terraces and therefore can’t have a home charging unit fitted and will have to use public chargers. This will turn out to be a big political issue as people will simply refuse to buy electric cars. The good news is that Ed Miliband will lose his job.
Electric car sales have stalled in the UK and fallen by 44% across Europe. The Times worked out that a London to Penzance return powered by super charger will be £148 compared with petrol at £89.”
