People need to wake up. The government doesn't want to ban smoking as much as it does socialising. When people chat over a beer and cigarette they are cultivating anti-Party habits of dissent.
Starmer and Cooper have never seen a piece of happiness they wouldn't outlaw.
I honestly didn’t think it was possible to despise a government quite as much as I despise this one. I knew they were going to be a disaster but didn’t foresee this much of a disaster. God help us for the next 5 years!

“People in Britain today are angry: not just disappointed, not just disillusioned, but angry. They are angry at the state of Britain; angry at the total absence of leadership; angry at the absence of vision; angry at the hypocrisy and double standards; and they are angry at the incessant incompetence of a Government they no longer respect and increasingly despise.” ~ John Smith (then Labour Party Leader). 1993.
And tragically, his words of wisdom (aimed against the Tory government) could equally apply to Keir Starmer’s government of today.“

Is anyone keeping a list of people killed in London? Unbelievable that a man in a wheelchair was stabbed to death. Police were called after "reports of a fight". What kind of fight is that? And that poor 28-year-old man. Media NOT DOING THEIR JOB! Protecting Khan before people!
I just can't believe a man was stabbed to death on a mobility scooter. And everyone will forget about it next week. Just like the mum hospitalised after Notting Hill, and woman and child stabbed in Soho. The media won't ask @MayorofLondon anything. Protect ideology before people!

“Although quite shocking that it has been revealed in court the young mum stabbed at the Nothing Hill Carnival is still in a coma and may lose a leg, I was delighted to see Shakiel Thibou, 20, in the dock accused of her attempted murder.
Which brings me to the other 348 arrests at the Carnival. 72 hours have now passed since it ended and if the prosecutors had acted at the same speed as the Southport riots they would all be charged and sentenced to lengthy periods in jail by now.
Just to remind you that 61 officers were assaulted during the “Carnival”. There were 8 stabbings, including that of Cher Maxine , who lost a huge amount of blood with one of her lungs collapsing after the attack.
There were 53 held for assault on emergency workers and 72 arrests for possessing an offensive weapon. There were plentyof other charges too numerous to mention. But this time there’s no directive from Starmer for fierce retribution. Why is that? Not so much two-tier prosecuting as two-race prosecuting.
Starmer, speaking at the summit with the German Chancellor, was very careful with his words when questioned by a reporter. He said; “ I will condemn any violence from anyone in the same terms as I have done for many, many years.”
That is a completely different approach in the wake of the rioting which kicked off following the Southport murders. No mention of the full force of the law. No mention of 24 hour courts. No Cobra emergency meetings. Just another criminal Carnival.
Nothing to see here, except stabbed Londoners and injured police and emergency workers. And definitely not a word from Mayor Khan who couldn’t even be bothered to warn that if large scale crime persisted the Carnival would have to be shut. Had this been a white gathering of such large number with that amount of crime would Labour politicians been so anxious to keep their heads down. I don’t think so.”

The whole cultural sphere in the UK needs a thoroughgoing purge. TV, radio, the Press, publishing, academia etc.

The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers very quickly. The press-gangs tell the story. Few if any now volunteer, and many try to evade or avoid the draft.
Ironically, Uzhgorod is right on the border with Slovakia. I wonder how well the border is guarded…
It may now be too late in the year for a general Russian advance on Kiev, but we shall see. By next summer, surely. The Kiev regime weakens with every passing day, despite the pointless and doomed Kursk-region incursion, and despite the new infusions of money and armaments from the West.
Why do Labour refuse to discuss all violent acts committed by black and minority people,but don't hold back when it's white people? I don't get that. 🤔
People still want to believe that the political and electoral systems are honest, and have the interests of the British people at heart, even as it becomes blatantly obvious that that is not so.
But they would be just stating facts…. I get the feeling that facts are racist, along with everything else. 🤔
Meanwhile, the new “Labour” bastards are throwing money at pointless “climate change” rubbish all over the world, at foreign aid, £3 billion a year going to the brutal and doomed regime of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev, and huge amounts of money are wasted on sheltering and feeding migrant invaders; and on all sorts of other useless and unwanted garbage.

‘I knew absolutely nothing about hatstand crazy disgraced former Prime Minister Liz Truss planning to stop free cancer treatment on the NHS to find the money she needed for her unfunded tax cuts… for I was only her Health Secretary’
All the Prime Ministers of the UK back to 1997 need to be put on trial and then dealt with.
Liz Truss is truly one callous piece of work. To even contemplate removing cancer treatments from the NHS just shows she is clinically insane. pic.twitter.com/ymAnhqlN1x
I am not usually a “hanger and flogger”, but it would please me to see Liz Truss’s carcass swinging and twisting in the wind.
Leaving the individual case behind, there is something very wrong with a system that elevates such unworthy individuals to the highest non-hereditary office. Not just Liz Truss (who only became an MP on her back in the first place). Look at Theresa May, who was an executive at the BACS cheque-clearing organization— hardly cutting-edge. That is before we even get onto the subject of “Boris”-idiot and others, including Starmer.
I’ll put my hands up and say Sunak & Truss for the Tories were diabolical but this tosser in 6 weeks has stolen their crown. We have seen some dangers and clueless PM. But don’t ever let a Labour voter take the piss out of you again. This guy is a complete disgrace. pic.twitter.com/Sxm17PRNz7
A suitable punishment for Liz Truss and others involved would be to lose their stolen money (e.g. via hyperinflation, or confiscation) and then to get cancer, the treatment for which they would be unable to receive without payment, which payment they would be unable to afford. That would be too just in this world, though, I suppose.
I continue to find this staggering. During the fall-out from Kwarteng's mini-budget, Truss wanted to meet the governor of the Bank of England but was advised against it by the cabinet secretary. She also reveals that she never met the governor in person. pic.twitter.com/gA97VVK2v4
She says that she did not meet the Governor of the Bank of England because she did not want to undermine the then Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng (aka “Woollyhead Trussbanger”).
Starmer and his cabal are rubbish, and tyrannical rubbish at that, but the only reason that they are sitting pretty with their huge Commons majority is because of the 14 years of equally rubbish “Conservative” misgovernment.
At the end, the voters were almost all desperate to bin the “Conservative” Party. Only 3 people out of every 20 eligible voters voted Con (3 out of every 12 that actually voted).
Both Starmer and ridiculous Ed Davey, the LibDem leader, benefited from the desperate wish of most voters to bin Sunak and his MPs. Starmer and Davey also benefited from the UK’s unjust and illogical FPTP voting system.

The USA is using Europe, particularly Poland, the pribaltika, and the UK as a first line of defence in any near-future and massive NATO-Russia conflict. European states should declare neutrality, and remove American bases and weapons.
An extreme example, of course, but even in the Second World War, the German High Command valued the average military units of the combatant nations as follows: every Waffen SS unit was worth 2 ordinary Wehrmacht units, 3 British or Russian units and 5 American ones.
Obviously, there are exceptions the other way. I recall meeting, many years ago, a few Americans from the more elite parts of the US Army and Navy, and they were very different.
The Kiev regime may become more powerful in terms of destructive rocket and drone activity, but the war will be won by the side with the greater number of soldiers, tanks, logistical capability, air power and, yes, rockets and drones.
That would be the Russian side.
The Kiev regime is having to press-gang recruits, and thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands are still trying to leave Ukraine and join the millions of others beyond the borders.
Both the USA and European states such as the UK are funneling money, arms and ammunition to Zelensky’s dictatorship, but with people willing and able to fight, that will not turn the tide of Russian advance. As to the money, well…

“The court heard he had been previously convicted for offences involving Anneliese dating back to June 2020, when he choked, punched and kicked her, as well as damaging property – receiving a suspended sentence.
But things escalated again when she found out she was pregnant with their son in May 2023with his abusive outbursts continuing until two days before she gave birth on November 8 last year.
The court heard he would manipulate Anneliese financially, asking for money for food when he actually wanted to buy drugs and alcohol.
He told her to kill herself while carrying their unborn child and called her ‘worthless’, ‘overweight’ and ‘fat’ after she gave birth, telling her to ‘get to the gym’.
He was arrested on December 1, days after the incident when he squeezed the scar at her home in Romsey on November 28, when one of her friends reported his abuse to the police.
But the court heard he continued to contact her, ignoring his bail conditions – something he denied doing.
Worster pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, criminal damage, two counts of assault by beating and two counts of common assault.
At his sentencing, Judge Robert Hill, Assistant Judge Advocate General, branded him an “out and out bully who gets violent”.
He was given another suspended sentence: 15-months, suspended for two years, and also handed a six-month restraining order.
But, Anneliese said: “I am just a bit disappointed that it is another suspended sentence. I thought where he had been convicted before it would be maybe a bit worse for him.“

These “people” add nothing positive to our society. They can neither create such a society nor even maintain one created by others; indeed, they cannot even live as parasites (predators and/or scavengers) in a civilized society without degrading it and dragging it down into the mire, into the swamp.
Will they all be fast tracked through the courts and paraded on TV for all to see?
I’ll answer that: NO!
‘Two Tier’ Keir and his two tier judicial system on full display.
“Two-tier” Keir has already “taken the knee” (kow-towed to) the black or non-white mob, along with thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner. The aforesaid mob therefore have no respect either for Starmer (understandably) or for our society; they know they will usually be given a free pass.
I know what I think should be done about this “Labour”-label government but, because Britain is rapidly becoming a multikulti police state, I cannot say so expressly on the blog.
Nope.
I don't think they'll have the police, home office and CPS make glossy videos with dramatic music of their arrests and reveal their names and home addresses either.
We know what England, especially but not exclusively London, is now like. What will it be like in 2034 or 2044, if a proper social-national government cannot take the reins of supreme power?
I want to live in a country where stabbings aren't just a part of the daily news cycle. How did Britain decline so fast?
Ironic that a [person posing as] Prime Minister, “Two-tier” Keir, who has a huge Commons majority, is no more fitted for his rank than were his predecessors: the little Indian money-juggler Sunak, Liz Truss, “Boris”-idiot or Theresa May.

True, but Frost neglects to add that the only reason the British people are now saddled with Starmer is because the “Conservatives” proved themselves utterly useless for 14 years.
Even Starmer’s (and Rachel Reeves’) exculpa is derivative, copied from that of Cameron-Levita, Osborne and Danny Alexander 14 years ago. Does anyone remember that? All the bs about having “examined ‘the books’ and found that there is no money” etc.

1) Spend more on “public services” – aka make way for more Night Czars and people who will spend your money on rainbow kayaking/ drag queen life drawing classes (real life examples of council spending).
2) Do nothing about factors increasing demand on services – eg migration (legal and illegal) – while building nothing and rarely expanding infrastructure. Then act surprised when prices increase (“rent controls now!”), as well as demonising anyone who points out that migration is a form of demand. They must be a bigot, after all, for worrying about the UK spending approximately £10 billion a year on accommodation for asylum seekers – paired with runaway demand. Rich people can pay for it, or something; anyway, doesn’t demand just vanish into thin air?!
3) Allow eco loons to impose anti-car measures on some of the most economically productive and in-demand workers; eg plumbers, builders and others with practical skills who need a car for their job. Ensure that they lose jobs from sitting in traffic and are subject to punitive measures for not being able to cycle a new bath tab to a client. Add red tape as much as possible to everything. Get a small business to prove its commitment to environment and diversity before it’s actually broken-even.
4) Hire for every state sector job through the primary prism of immutable characteristics.
5) Ignore what jobs are in demand – eg. practical/ technology – and continue sending droves of young people to university to do subjects that bear no relation to what skills employers need.

Besides, if Brits won’t do jobs, we’ll just hire from abroad, so that demand for housing can increase, and with it rental costs – which young people will then blame landlords/ lack of rent controls for.
And voila = growth!“
I agree with pretty much all of that.
Please can someone explain this to me. Why do (most) Left wingers seem oblivious to supply and demand? It genuinely baffles me. Housing is the most obvious example. How can advocates of rent controls not see these would further limit supply or how migration is a type of "demand"?
Most people “think” via their feeling, i.e. via emotion, or via undisciplined will. They want to believe, so they do believe. Someone of the Zoe Gardner (near) “open borders” type is a typical example.
Most MPs now are enemies of the people. All of the present Cabinet are enemies of the people.
Left wing economics makes 0 sense. How can grown adults think that endlessly paying for “public services” – aka the likes of Amy Lame and eco loons making sure no one can drive to work (plumbers/ builders can surely cycle!) – means growth.https://t.co/kJ4UxC5jvk
People like Amy Lamé (a crazed American lesbian appointed —God knows why— as London “Nightlife Tsar” or something similar) are just a waste of space. She should be sacked and made to dig turnips, plant trees, or the like.
Incidentally, I seem to recall she tweeted unpleasantly to me about 8 years ago, when I still had a Twitter account.
“Public services” I support wholeheartedly, if they are useful. I am talking about (proper) police, fire brigades, public health workers (real ones, not “Covid crazies”), parks and park wardens, litter sweepers, public swimming pools, water supplies etc.
“In 2024, Amy Lamé was awarded her fourth pay rise a few days after the 2024 London Mayor Election, in which her pay for her 3 days a week role was increased to £132,846.[27]
Her role and the ability for the London Assembly to hold her to account has been a source of confusion, given that she is classed as a GLA member of staff[28] and therefore cannot be scrutinised by the Liberal Democrats, Conservatives or the Greens in the London Assembly.”

Banana Boat
I first saw this amusing short documentary on American public TV in 1991 or 1992 (it was released in 1991). About a group of passengers on one of the Geest “banana boats” that (I think still) take cars and other items out from the UK to the West Indies, and then return with millions of bananas.
Such ships carry passengers because the income is a welcome extra, but they cannot carry more than (I think) 12, because any greater number would require the ship to have a doctor on board.
A very good film, and nicely presented by one Nigel Farrell, who —I just now see— must have been 37 or 38 at the time, and who (I have just read) died in 2011, 20 years after the film was made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Farrell.
How short our lives are.
I might add that the BBC once made charming, interesting little films like that, about 40 or 50 years ago, but no longer.

Thoughts about “two-tier Keir”, two-tier “justice” etc
I often look at local newspapers online. Sometimes, you can get a better idea of where UK society is from those sources than you do from the national Press.
I just saw a few reports in the local Press, from several places in the south of England, which must surely stagger anyone who has observed the almost Stalinist sentences recently handed down to those who have been involved directly or indirectly in the recent protests or so-called “riots”.
Example: a mixed-race individual described as “a powerful thug” lost his jacket in a bar. He demanded that the barman find it. He then punched the barman and, despite other staff intervening, did so again. Door staff detained him after a struggle, the police arrived, and he then punched a policeman in the face. Previous offences of violence. Result? Non-custodial sentence.
Another example? “Traveller” (Irish tinker/”gypsy”) took police on a high-speed chase in a van. Much damage done, and some injury to members of the public. Tried to run off after he crashed. Uninsured. No driving licence. Multiple previous convictions. Result? Non-custodial sentence.
The recent sentencing for “political” or quasi-political “crimes” has mostly been a disgrace, and has actually shown up the System politicians, notably “two-tier” Keir, as being not strong (as they try to project) but fearful, and the System itself as brittle, without much resilience.
Incidentally, I was just thinking about that time, related in the New Testament, when Jesus Christ overturned the tables of the Jew moneychangers and did other “rebellious” actions, and scourged the moneychangers (at least symbolically):
And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Now obviously the motivation of Jesus Christ was not the same as those “rioting” or protesting in the UK recently, but it could yet be described as “ideological” and/or “rebellious”, and certainly His actions were not that different from those of some of the recent defendants sentenced to imprisonment for having shouted insulting words, overturned cars, assaulted policemen and others etc.
Admittedly, one cannot imagine Jesus Christ looting a sausage-roll shop…
I nearly forgot to add that the said “tinker”, mentioned above, was sentenced to a non-custodial sentence partly because “he had to support” (I wonder how, exactly?) no less than 7 children, with another expected shortly.

Chapter 1: Caroline Lucas claims there was no sense of English national identity until it was invented by the Tudors pic.twitter.com/jmoh16i8nb
Not entirely accurate, though not completely wrong either.
National identities across Europe developed, out of existing identities, in the earliest years of the 5th Post-Atlantean Age, that is, roughly, from 1400 AD.
Prior to that, someone might hold feudal power in more than one part of Europe, as the Plantagenet kings held sway in both England and parts of France.
The Renaissance recapitulated in a new way the 4th Post-Atantean Age (the Greco-Roman), and that 5th Age was at its beginning then. Joan of Arc was one major manifestation.
Once national identity strengthened, feudalism, with its system of fealty crossing other boundaries, waned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fealty.
In England, the influences of the new form of identity, national identity stricto sensu, slowly developed from that time. The Renaissance was slightly delayed in coming to England, having originated in Italy. Later, in the Tudor period (i.e. from 1485), a greater sense of national identity grew, but the same or similar was happening all over Europe, and had already started to happen in Switzerland, particularly.
So Caroline Lucas, though wrong in the specifics (the Tudors did not “invent” English national identity), is not totally wrong inasmuch as that identity, as we now understand it, was to a large extent initially the product of the Tudor period.

Dan Hodges seems to have forgotten (assuming that he ever knew) that, in the Soviet Union, in Stalin’s day and even afterward, ordinary criminals were often treated better than “politicals”.
In any case, the “police state” aspect in question is not Hodges’ “early release” red herring but the incarceration of people for minor disorder, or for tweeting comments etc.
The present UK situation is similar (don’t forget Starmer’s extreme pseudo-socialist ideological background): the real criminals are being released after having served only 40% —with other measures in place, as little as 20%— of their headline sentences, but —by any other name— political, or treated as political, prisoners are being swiftly incarcerated, and are being more harshly sentenced as well.
Incidentally, not only those convicted following the recent protests and/or “riots” (nb. I myself do not consider saying “boo!” to a police riot squad operative, pushing at his plastic shield, looting a sausage-roll shop, or even overturning the odd police car, a “riot” nor indeed a “political protest” as such).
A while ago, I read that a young man had served his entire headline sentence (6 years, I think), having been convicted on one of those trumped-up bs pseudo-“terrorism” charges the UK police and Clown Prosecution Service seem to love today (they often involve an accusation that the accused shared some or another “terrorist” material online, and at the same time owned completely lawful objects such as copies of Mein Kampf or a picture of Hitler; random pieces of circumstantial “evidence” put in to bamboozle a typical low-IQ rubber-stamp “British” jury).
More broadly, the lack of real knowledge of history is widespread now. As G.K. Chesterton said, he feared the uneducated less than he feared the badly-educated.
The “Chaser”, Jenny Ryan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Ryan], fluffed the question “which of these three was first to be named as Time magazine Man of the Year in 1923?“, the three being Mussolini, Hitler, or Stalin.
I thought Mussolini (because of the October 1922 March on Rome, after which Mussolini became Prime Minister), and that turned out to be the correct answer. However, it occurred to me that there was at least a possibility that the correct answer would be Hitler (because of the Beer Hall Putsch of November 1923).
However, Jenny Ryan, “the Vixen”, thought that Stalin was the right answer, afterwards commenting that she had “thought that Stalin was a much bigger figure back then“, thus showing ignorance of the history of all three countries concerned (Stalin’s more or less supreme power in the Soviet Union only dated from about 1928, though it increased from 1924; in 1923, Lenin was still alive, and the leadership still somewhat collegial). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin#1924%E2%80%931927:_Succeeding_Lenin.
“The Vixen” later made another mistake on the same show, in failing to choose Offa as the answer to a question on Anglo-Saxon history; she chose “Cnut” (Canute), but he was not even an Anglo-Saxon king (though admittedly a king during the Anglo-Saxon period). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offa_of_Mercia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnut.
That’s the problem with such quiz shows, esp. The Chase. The “Chasers” and others have memorized lists, and (some) facts, but generally have no real in-depth background. I have noticed that with other Chasers, such as “The Beast”, Mark Labett.
“A little knowledge is a dangerous thing“, especially in political journalism.

In the end, though, the Starmer-Labour government, for all its “massive majority” triumphalism, only got the votes of 4 people out of every 20 (eligible), 4 out of every 12 people (that voted). Quite a number of even the voters that voted Labour only did so to make sure that the Conservative Party lost the election.
The real support for Labour is about 10% of the population. The real support for the attack on free speech etc is even smaller, only a few percent of the whole population.

This is becoming like a scaled down and ridiculous copy of Stalin’s purges. As Marx noted, first time— tragedy, but second time— farce [Karl Marx, The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon].
Of course, that poor fellow quite wrongfully sentenced to 8 weeks in prison, will not see the (unfunny) joke, even though his 8 weeks will in the end be something like 3 (he will be out after 40% of the headline tariff).
In my opinion, the defendant should have pleaded not guilty. Unfortunately, he seems to have pleaded guilty (perhaps on advice of his solicitor) to get a notional sentence reduction from 12 to 8 weeks.
Starmer’s thoroughly wicked and unconstitutional suggestion (almost a demand, at least an expressed presumption) that anyone pleading not guilty to any charge arising —however peripherally— out of the recent protests) would be remanded in custody until trial (which these days might be months or even a year later) was a direct attack on the rule of law. Plainly intimidatory, and designed to make defendants cave and plead guilty.
The latest I heard, something like 700 arrests have been made. How many charges, I do not know.
Compare those sentences of imprisonment merely for giving out a few online opinions (though the Court, “Clown” Prosecution Service and politicized police all try to make the “offences” seem far worse) with those handed down for real crimes committed in the same area, such as this one:
“A thief told the manager of a Carlisle Co-op store who had caught him stealing alcohol that he would return and “stab him” if he called the police, magistrates heard.
The defence lawyer representing prolific offender Elijah Ali, 34, told the city’s Rickergate court that the defendant denied making the threat. He did, however, plead guilty to the theft and to using threatening behaviour.
Prosecutor George Shelley outlined the facts.
He said the defendant and a second unknown male walked into the Central Avenue branch of Co-op at around 9.30pm on August 5 and began brazenly stealing alcohol from the shelves, picking up “numerous” bottles of booze and putting them in Ali’s jacket.
This prompted the store’s manager to make a 999 call, reporting that a theft was in progress and requesting urgent help.
The second male left the store but as he left, said Mr Shelley, Ali told the store manager: “If you call the police, I’m going to come back and stab you. That placed [the manager] in a state of fear.”
Ali’s record comprises 98 previous offences, 25 of them thefts and kindred crimes. “He’s a prolific offender,” said Mr Shelley.
Magistrates imposed a £200 fine and told Ali to pay the Co-op compensation of £200 as well as £85 costs and a surcharge.“
So a few online comments about a news item results in immediate imprisonment, but for a “prolific thief” (called Ali) with 98 previous convictions, and who threatened to stab a shop manager, only a minor fine (probably paid off at £5 a week).
Any comment, “Prime Minister”? That’s you, two-tier Keir.

What does Starmer imagine will be happening in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029, with British people scarcely able to make a living, to pay exorbitant rents, to buy houses the cheapest of which cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, or to walk the streets of their own cities safely?
Every day, hundreds, sometimes thousands, of migrant-invaders arrive illegally on our shores. Thousands more, every day, enter at least quasi-“legally”.
Britain is heading for a dystopian conflict never seen before.

Maybe also making “holocaust” “denial” (i.e. examination and historical revision, particularly of events of the 1940s and 1930s) illegal in the UK. Don’t forget that Starmer is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, and that his wife is Jewish.

Don’t forget the others, the ~1,000,000 migrant-invaders that entered “legally” in the past year, or the births to non-European mothers.

Kiev-regime announcement
The Kiev regime has announced that it “is not interested” in hanging on to the little strip of land it recently invaded in the Kursk region of Russia.
Translation: the forces of the Kiev regime only made the incursion so that Zelensky and his cabal could claim to Western mass media that they are “winning”, or at least continuing to fight.
In reality, the Kiev-regime incursion forces, mostly press-ganged and poorly-trained serf-soldiers, have been mainly wiped out, and the rest are —literally— dying to be able to drive back over the border to Ukraine and relative safety.
The Kiev-regime incursion was never sustainable; the territory gained for a day or two, or a week or two, could never have been held.
I am worried, though, for the dim Ukrainian soldiers and their grieving, or soon-to-be-grieving families, and also for the Russian civilian families in the Kursk border region, their lives disrupted by this stupid publicity stunt.
At the same time, the Russian advance in the south-east continues steadily.

“Just walked through Huddersfield city centre. Really struck by the starkest of contrasts.
Some older women sat outside a Merrie England cafe (remember ‘em?), trying to enjoy a civilised afternoon tea.
They were surrounded by the stench of weed, people shouting in foreign languages, couples in tracksuits hurling abuse at each other, gangs of lads hanging around, beggars off their faces.
Nothing noteworthy about the scenario – just everyday stuff in yer standard Red Wall town. But I was impressed by the dignity and stoicism of the women. The rest of it almost reduced me to tears.”

📍Dundrum, Tipperary.
This tiny Irish village of 200 people was forcibly planted this morning. 280 ‘asylum seekers’ are to be housed in this hotel, replacing the local population overnight.
Why is pathetic Sinn Fein supporting the migration-invasion of Ireland, and certainly not properly opposing it?
I really want someone to do this. There are a number of projects that are going to need to be people-led as 80% of the media seem to have abdicated their duty. We need better statistics to understand patterns, authority failures; to diagnose etc. https://t.co/c9SmOc0T0N
I remember seeing this sorta thing a few years ago and it worrying me, due to my "Patsy from Ab Fab" ways. Somehow in July last year I gave up booze. Everything improved! You don't need a "rock bottom" or epiphany. You can just feel "blurgh". Tomorrow could even be the day 🙂 https://t.co/7VLtoJ9Qtn
Strange. I have read about the increase in alcohol consumption during the “lockdown” nonsense or 2020-2021. I went the other way, almost stopping my relatively-modest consumption.
There have been times in my life when I drank little or nothing, other times when my consumption was quite high. I suppose the latter was true of when I was living in the former Soviet Union, in the Caribbean, and in France, as well as when I was practising at the English Bar (during the years 1992-1996 and 2002-2008).
Now, most days, I drink no alcohol at all. No particular reason predominates. It may be partly a function of increasing age (I shall be 68 next month, ironically on the same day as the birthday of “two-tier Keir” Starmer, though he is six years younger than me).
Another reason is that the wines, especially the red wines, that I once liked, such as Chateau Margaux, are extremely expensive (I suppose they always were, but that I notice it more now), or are hard to source (some Moldavian and Georgian wines).
One kind of booze I do like is what the French term eaux de vie, such as 40%+ Kirsch and Poire Williams etc.
A Central and Eastern European taste too, that I must have picked up somewhere or other, is Slivovitz (plum spirit), which UK Lidl had on sale recently (I bought 2 bottles, 42% alc.), and what the Hungarians call palinka, fruit spirit, which may be distilled from one fruit, or a mixture. Apricot is probably my favourite, though I have not had any for well over 20 years.
On a hot day, though, beer is often the best drink (apart from water). I used to like (30-40 years ago), Zhiguli beer from Russia, which was at that time sold in the UK, in Selfridges. Czech beer is pretty good, of course, as is some Polish.
When I was living in Turkey for a few months, I liked Tekel beer, made by a State enterprise. It no longer exists, at least in that form.
One type of wine that I liked a lot in the 1980s, and early 1990s, was the kind of white wine produced in Australia at that time, especially heavily-oaked quality Chardonnay. Harder to find now, of the same type. Maybe tastes have changed, and the producers have followed suit..

The people cheering on the destruction of #FreeSpeech in the UK (because they think it gives them power over their peers) reminds me of the crowds cheering Mao's regime as it murdered citizens and erased history.
The most frightening revolutions happen to the sound of applause.
As I noted on the blog during the “Covid” hysteria, the self-describing “left”, including almost all of the “human rights” tribe, were all in favour of more severe “lockdowns”, more severe penalties, dissidents and people ignoring the “Covid” hysteria to have all civil rights taken away, deprived of all medical treatment, even when entirely unconnected to “the virus” etc.
Indeed, the self-describing “left” has lost of of its former ideology and direction, and seems to exist purely to cheer on the right labels (“Covid”, “Ukraine”, “BLM”, “trans”-whatever) and of course “Labour”, despite Labour (also) having lost all or 99% of its former ethos. That, and to “deplatform” from everywhere possible any people who are labelled derogatively by them.

Professor Tettenborn is someone I met a couple of times in Exeter circa 2002-2003. He was at that time the professor at the law faculty of Exeter University. I was in a small set of barristers (now very much larger and, under another name, the largest in the South West outside Bristol; the former head of my old set is now a Circuit Judge).
I sat with Professor Tettenborn and another as a notional “Lord Justice of Appeal” at a moot competition held in the Guildhall at Exeter in mid-2002. My only day as a Lord Justice of Appeal, or indeed any sort of judge.
Incidentally, the winner of the moot (out of three student contenders) was a young Anglo-Armenian who had engaged in some sharp practice during the competition. We three “Lords Justices of Appeal” discussed disqualifying him, but in the end relented. As a student advocate, he was head and shoulders above the other two students, and we thought that that had to be recognized.
A few years later, as a young barrister, the same person got into trouble over allegations of sex harassment (not in my own Chambers but another set), I heard. Not sure whether that went to the Bar Standards Board (I think it did), but the person in question is still, I believe, at the Bar and still based in Exeter; I think that he was also, quite a few years ago, an unsuccessful Conservative candidate for MP at Exeter.
All a long time ago now.
Professor Tettenborn also made a very cogent case at the Law Commission inquiry as to whether the very bad law known as Communications Act 2003, s.127, should be repealed. That was what was recommended, but the section has so far not been repealed, and is regularly misused either by the police/CPS or by the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

“More than 700 migrants cross the Channel to Britain in a single day.“
[France 24]
700. In a single day. So 700 migrant-invaders, all of which will now “have to be” sheltered, fed, given medical services, provided with cash etc. Call it £20,000 or more each per year, indefinitely. Then add costs of policing, courts, prison etc once some (if only a minority; so be it) start criminal activity. £30,000+ each per year. Overall, in conservative terms, Between £15M and £25M a year. That’s for ONE DAY’S CONTINGENT…
£25M that will now not be spent on British people, for British people’s health, welfare, transport, education, future.
I hate the traitors who enable this, from Starmer and Yvette Cooper (and most other Labour, LibDem and Con MPs) to the narcissistic, smug, allegedly or self-regardingly “well-meaning” idiots who hold up “refugees welcome” signs, tweet virtue-signalling nonsense, or oppose British people protesting about the evil.

Thankfully, the ridiculous Schauspiel for the masses called “the Olympics” largely passed me by (as usual), apart from my having seen video clips and photos of the “Satanic” (?) opening ceremony.
Of course, the “British” msm went crazy because the supposedly Brit team called “Team GB” won a few meaningless medals. Yawn.
The unlucky Ukrainian soldiers used in the Kursk incursion are, like all the Kiev-regime soldiery, being used by Zelensky’s evil regime as cannon-fodder. Dispensable. Many were press-ganged into service. Few if any now are volunteers.
As blogged previously, even were the Kiev regime forces to reach Kursk (city), the centre of the region, their extended lines would be vulnerable to both air (including missile) attack and also to flank attacks by armour and infantry. I also doubt whether the Kiev-regime forces can resupply an extended line of incursion for very long.
So far, it looks as though the forces of the Kiev regime have penetrated to a depth of about 20 miles from the border line.
“The Kursk offensive comes after weeks of Russian advances in the east, where a succession of villages have been captured by the Kremlin’s forces.” [BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crkm08rv5m0o].
Note that, until now, the “free” UK/US msm has not reported even in passing that the Russian forces are achieving victory in the south-east and east of Ukraine.
The Kiev-regime incursion may have reached a depth of about 30 miles in some areas, such as the Lezhinka area noted in the BBC report, but that is still a long way (maybe 50 miles) from the city of Kursk itself.
Kursk (city) is about 327 miles from Moscow.
The world-conquering armoured and other forces of the German Reich faltered amid the huge empty spaces of (even) European Russia in the early 1940s. How much more pointless and unlikely to succeed is this Kiev-regime incursion, with its unwilling and poorly-trained soldiers?
In the end, were Russian forces to have to fall back to Kursk (city), which I feel is highly unlikely anyway, the Russian “stavka” (high command) could use masses of advanced conventional weapons such as thermobaric missiles and bombs to completely annihilate the Kiev-regime advance.
Actually, I feel sorry for the Ukrainian soldiers (and their families), who are mere pawns in the corrupt evil game of the Jew Zelensky and his Kiev cabal.

“German expert: The maneuver in Kursk could mark the military end of Ukraine “
An attack on the Kursk area could lead to the military end of Ukraine, because its armed forces are inferior to the Russian army.
The Ukrainian brigades deployed in Donbass are quite worn out and were waiting to be replaced by new forces, which are now used to attack Kursk “, said Gustav Gressel in an interview for “Spiegel”.”
Senator Lindsey Graham hinted that Ukraine could attract retired American F-16 pilots, indirectly indicating that there are not enough Ukrainian pilots even for the limited number of F-16s declared for transfer to Kyiv pic.twitter.com/EOlaMcybvF
That Graham idiot is a complete Jewish-lobby/Israel lobby puppet, so his idea is not entirely unexpected.
I doubt that many retirement-age American pilots are desperate enough to want to fly for the Kiev regime, though. Even were the pay to be high, so is the chance of coming back to the USA in a body bag (if the pieces can be found). 20 years in the present version of the Gulag Archipelago is also rather uninviting.
I was slightly acquainted in 1996-1997 with a group of civilian American pilots in Kazakhstan, ex-Eastern Airlines, hired to fly the Kazakh President’s Boeing aircraft. Nice fellows, who had been cheated out of their pension in the U.S., but complete fish out of water in the post-Soviet and Russophone environment of Almaty. They could not even say hello or ask for a cup of coffee, and lived an isolated life in a dacha on the edge of town.

Readers may be surprised to see me repost tweets from now-binned former MP [High Peak], Robert Largan, a conscious tool of the Jewish lobby, but I certainly agree with him about the necessity for architecture to be both beautiful and functional.
I have not been to Dresden, though I was once, in 1988, not far away. As to Manchester, I appeared a few times c.2007 as Counsel at the County Court, at that time situated at Crown Square; I believe that the Crown Court still sits there.
I have, once only, seen Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester, but that was even earlier, sometime in the mid-1980s, maybe 1985 or 1986, when the Georgian State Dance ensemble was performing in and around the city (they also went to Preston). The dancers, stage people, interpreters, KGB, and me (unpaid, and uncredited in any way) were all staying in a fairly ghastly hotel called the Britannia, not far from those Gardens (not even a park, but just a flat area of grass, with a few very low and scrubby hedges). I wandered down to pass the time one early evening. Once was enough.
Incidentally, I also saw the Manchester Royal Infirmary, the main hospital, because one of the Georgian dancers had cut his hand right down to the bone as he and others were practising with their swords (part of their spectacular dance act). The swords were razor-sharp, sharpened daily in order to create the sparks that flew during the performance.
The interpreters, including my then girlfriend, were all busy with the performance that evening, so I was asked to accompany the dancer (who only spoke Georgian and Russian, no English) to the hospital in a taxi.
At the hospital, I tried to have him seen to at once (there was a lot of waiting around), and I think we were seen slightly ahead of time, though not soon enough for the Georgian, who though pleasant had the impatience typical of his countrymen. The nurses (if my memory serves) were both pretty and pleasant, as well as efficient (once deployed). So the Georgian survived to fight (onstage) again, and indeed I believe he was the one chosen to meet Mrs. Thatcher when she visited either Moscow or Tbilisi (I think the latter) in a later year.
Those dancers certainly put on a superb show (which I saw for free in Manchester, Preston and some other places). The women in their long costumes seemed to glide rather than walk or dance.
A long time ago now, nearly 40 years…
[a more recent Georgian dance show]
Went to Dresden in 92. Although the Churches and palaces had been restored the ordinary buildings were all gone. Wonderful to see it as it should be
Largan’s comment also refers to the recent statement by thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner, re. Starmer-Labour’s apparent intent to build millions of ugly hutches, in the once green and pleasant countryside, in which to stable migrant-invaders.
The amazing reconstruction of the Frauenkirche in Dresden, completed in 2005.
So a narrative has been created and is spreading out across mainstream media. I saw it this morning on both BBC News and Sky News.
The narrative goes something like this: “a tiny group of ‘far-right’ social media influencers incited a larger group — but still a tiny proportion of the population— to smash things, to riot, and to express ‘hate’ against non-whites and especially Muslims, but ‘the community’ gathered in huge numbers to beat off their attempts to sow ‘division’.“
In reality, there were fairly large gatherings here and there in protest against what has been happening in the UK, especially as regards migration-invasion, and especially what has been developing in the large cities, over the last 30 years. A much smaller group of silly people went further, looting shops and playing into the hands of the System, which then went into “police state” dictatorial mode. “Useful idiots” also started to demand the shutdown of all free speech platforms, such as Twitter/X.
At the same time, the BBC and Sky started to show a Soviet-style melange of grey-haired people in churches praying for “peace”, and a few large crowds of supposed “antifascists” (posing as “the real citizens” etc).
London has a Metro-area population of 15M, so a crowd of 5,000 or even 15,000 is really a very small percentage, not even a tenth of 1%. In reality, it seems that even the largest “counter-protest” (at Walthamstow in N.E. London) consisted of only about 1,000 persons, many from elsewhere: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c623g0xnrero.
The lesson is— “don’t trust the mainstream media”.
The elephant in the room is mass immigration, which continues, day after day. 100-1,000 daily across the Channel, illegally; also, another 3,000 or so “legally”, by air and sea, every day.
I imagine that the present protests and their riotous offshoots will die out…for now. As to what might happen in a year’s time, or 10 or 20 years, we shall see. I don’t mean street protests that, in themselves, achieve little, but political and para-political upheavals.
The DDR (East Germany) could not hold back popular discontent in the end. Do Starmer and Yvette Cooper think that they can hold back the tide?

Many and indeed almost all of the other problems of the UK have been caused, or made much worse, by the migration-invasion that started as long ago as the 1950s, became a river by the 1980s, and became a torrent after 1989 and especially after 2001. The only word that can now describe it is tsunami. It will break this society apart.

People allegedly part of the more riotous recent protests are not being bailed (as almost all would normally be) prior to sentence (if they pleaded guilty) or prior to trial (if they pleaded not guilty). This is quite obviously covert interference by the political element over the supposedly “independent” judicial element. Indeed, Starmer purported to lay down such practice in his poundland-dictator speech the other day.

15 “rehabilitation days” (in fact, mostly fairly short meetings, so far), and a financial impost, being the (notional) costs of trial— £734 in all, a third of which was crowdfunded by a few generous donors.
…thus it was that, thanks to the Jew-Zionists, and their police and “Clown” Prosecution Service dupes, I joined the “criminal classes”, or at least the convict classes.
Actually, I rather like my probation officer, despite the fact that, ideologically, at least as I apprehend, we are poles apart. My next scheduled meeting will be in September.
The whole Kafka-esque situation rather tickles me (when it does not irritate me), though of course I should never have been subjected to nuisance and inconvenience, should never have been charged, certainly should never have been convicted and, even then, should have received by way of sentence something purely nominal, such as a £50 fine (if anything).

A special law was passed JUST FOR KIER STARMER to save tax on his pension when he retired from public Prosecutions in 2013. The Coalition government afforded him this unique right. This needs to be known widely. He's just cut The Winter Fuel Allowance… Happy to stand… pic.twitter.com/F84xdlhdsZ

“Not a lot of people know that” (I certainly did not).
Typical.
Jessica Simor, yet another “human rights” barrister who secretly —or even openly— wants to institute police-state measures if people say things with which she disagrees.
Incidentally, Jessica Simor was a fervent supporter of the joke “party”, Change UK, at which I used to laugh on the blog before it went down the drain. I occasionally laughed at her too.
As I have said for months —if not years— Labour, Starmer-Labour, will “solve” the illegal Channel crossings by simply rubberstamping 90%-95% of applications in France (or even in Africa and Asia), thus magically turning illegal migrant-invaders into nominally “legal” ones.
The remaining 5%-10% will then still try to cross the Channel anyway and, once here, will not be deported, just as at present.
Starmer-Labour has even less intention than Sunak-Conservatism of stopping mass immigration aka migration-invasion. Once you read about the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, all will be made clear…
Starmer-Labour is a falsely-“elected” dictatorship, and even tyranny, which, even more than the last 14 years of fake “Conservative” misrule, offers the people nothing.
‘They are hooligans.’

How about detaching thevery few “rioters” from the thousands of entirely-legitimate protesters? Not to mention the tens of millions who want England to be England, not a rubbish dump for people from the most backward parts of the world?
In fact, where was David Davis, where was Starmer, where was Yvette Cooper, when the Gypsies of Harehills (Leeds) were rioting, only a week or so ago? Nowhere, or excusing them. Same with the Bangladeshi rioters in East London.
The System is trying to demonize all white (i.e. English) dissenters or dissidents by focussing the msm on a few bottle-throwers. Also, of course, ignoring the fact that our society is slowly collapsing, and mainly by reason of mass immigration.
You still neither listen nor see, do you? Ordinary voters have had years of being lied to, and taken for granted by successive governments. @Keir_Starmer accuses us of being far right. Rioting can never be justified. People are angry. You are part of the problem. #EnoughIsEnough
System MPs, System scribblers, and System TV talking heads are almost all in favour of mass immigration. Enemies of the people and of the future of the people.
This is the only dialogue the government have listened to so far though. People have been voting against migration for 20 years and been ignored. The British are sick of being foreigners in their own land and the crime that comes with it #EnoughIsEnoughpic.twitter.com/b2NEOneOdf
What Britain needs, though, is not an urban riot scenario but a disciplined social-national movement, something which at present does not exist.
“Our wonderful NHS”…
UPDATE: Within the next hour I’m being discharged from hospital after 6 days. I will have the op to remove my gall bladder in around 6 weeks time. In the meantime, a lot of R&R. Had a little bit of a tear up when I said goodbye to the nurses on the ward who have been so lovely to… pic.twitter.com/0fKYFdbnlZ
Superficially, System political commentator Iain Dale’s tweet commends the NHS, but not if you look a little further.
My first wife, an American, suddenly had terrible pain one Saturday morning in 1991 (I think it was). We drove to a general practitioner doctor in a small strip mall nearby. She had not been to him before but in the USA it is not usually necessary to be registered (unlike, as I believe, in the UK) to get an emergency appointment like that.
The small doctor’s office had no-one waiting, so once a patient left (about 5 mins), the Italian-American GP saw my then wife. He diagnosed her (it later turned out, entirely correctly), within a few minutes, as having a gall bladder problem, and suggested a couple of possible hospitals. He then charged her USD $25, cash on the nail.
We drove to the suggested hospital, about a 25-minute drive down the Garden State Parkway.
[Garden State Parkway, New Jersey, USA]
The suggested hospital was not very far from the Parkway, half a mile perhaps.
A modern hospital, the car park almost empty (and no charge for parking, unlike the absurd and sometimes stressful situation in the UK).
On entering, I think no-one there except a couple of uniformed nurses or whoever behind a glass-screened reception desk.
My then wife, in some pain, explained her problem, and was asked what insurance she had. That was not a problem, because she had a high level of medical insurance that went with her job (she was an employee of the U.S. Federal Government). She was then admitted through the security door and escorted away by a nurse. I was asked to wait.
A short time later, the reception person told me that the Head of Surgery would be down to speak with me. Imagine that in the NHS…
The Head of Surgery was a tweed-suited character, redolent of reassurance and expertise, like a surgeon in a Hollywood film, and sporting a full white beard, a bit like Sigmund Freud but more solid-looking and self-confident than Freud as seen in the photo below.
I was greeted pleasantly by the Head of Surgery, and informed that my wife had to have a gall-bladder operation and that that would be done either later that day or the next day.
In the end, my first wife spent three days in hospital, mostly on her own in a comfortable if rather white/cream and basic room (no wards in that hospital, unlike the UK; France also has only individual or shared rooms).
On discharge, the bill was itemized minutely, despite everything being covered by insurance, and nothing needing to be paid by us. It was posted to us a couple of days later (for our records only). I think that it was (33 years ago) about USD $24,000. Expensive… thank God for the insurance.
Two or maybe three nights stay, one operation, medications, other stuff used, food, drink etc.
So, thinking about that, and comparing that to Iain Dale’s experience, I have no idea how long Dale suffered before even getting a consultation and diagnosis. Not same-day, anyway. Weeks? Months?
Then again, how many NHS patients with similar-level problems (excruciating pain but nothing immediately life-threatening) would get immediate attention, immediate hospitalization, and almost immediate surgery? (I think the operation was done the following day).
Of course, in the UK you can get quicker attention if you pay privately, or have BUPA insurance etc. I have no idea whether Dale was in an NHS hospital or not. All, the same, his operation is scheduled for six weeks’ time! My first wife only had to wait for about 20 hours.
I am of course not medically qualified, but I thought that that experience was worth recounting.
Naturally, the elephant in the room is insurance or money. Without one or the other, I wonder whether an American would get even medicines or painkillers, let alone surgery; I cannot say. We hear that 40% of Americans are either uninsured or under-insured. The only good thing Obama did was to try to reform that situation (as I understand it). I do not know what Medicaid and Medicare might now offer.
“Free at point of use” healthcare is the NHS trump card, of course.
Few would want to import the American healthcare system to the UK, with the American inequities and money-orientation. However, the NHS is now a pretty basic service in most respects, as compared to many advanced countries. Too many people accept its deficiencies and treat it more like an object of veneration than a useful service, a service which, however, now needs to be properly reformed.
Incidentally, a year prior to the above events, my first wife had been recommended to have a scan, in relation to something else, and had been given a choice of seven hospitals within a 30-mile range where that could be done. In the same year, 1990 I think, one of the largest teaching hospitals in the UK, King’s College Hospital, Denmark Hill (South London) had had to appeal for donations from the public to get such a scanner machine. I recall the banner (like a big red thermometer) hanging on the outside of the hospital when I often passed by c.1990.

According to the narrator of the Nevil Shute novel, On the Beach, once famous and even filmed, “thus the world ended, not with a bang but a whimper” (if I recall it correctly from about 50 years ago). Will our known world end with a bloody big bang or two (in the Middle East, first)?

Saw Starmer making part of his statement, or threats, really, on TV news earlier this evening. A few thoughts came to mind.
Firstly, it is clear that the events across the country have frightened both Starmer and equally-rattled Yvette Cooper. They both looked scared, behind the threats and bluster.
Second, only a month after the General Election, it is clear that Starmer has woken up to the fact that the British people have no love for him and Labour, despite the electorally-rigged “landslide”. He knows that only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted Labour. In his heart, he must know that he really has no mandate.
Thirdly, Starmer has decided to rule by threats and fear. He wants to make people, “ordinary” citizens, fear the consequences even of attending a protest, or talking about events online. The tactics of a police state.
Fourthly, Starmer said that people arrested by reason of any of the above would be remanded in custody, i.e. not given bail. That is not Starmer’s decision to make, not so long as the UK retains any vestiges of being either a “free country” (though that ship has sailed, I think) or even “a society under law”.
It is not for a political office-holder, which is all that Starmer is, to effectively instruct (whether on the TV news or otherwise) magistrates, District Judges, and Crown Court judges as to whether they will grant bail or not.
A month into office, and Starmer-Labour already looks like a panicked police state.
This will not end well.
