Happened to hear Lord “Gus” O’Donnell, former head of the Civil Service, on BBC Radio 4 PM, a show that became so pathetic and self-indulgent over the years that I stopped listening (in common with, I suspect, almost all of its one-time audience).
Switching over from Radio 3, I heard O’Donnell say something quite striking: churches, said he, had become “community hubs”, along with other places. He added that, instead of being the House of God, they were now the House of Good, by which he meant communitarian good works and societal cohesion.
It could be argued that the two are almost synonymous. “God, or whatever means the Good...”, as Louis MacNeice wrote in one of his poems, Meeting Point [https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/91396/meeting-point]. Another analogous substitution might be “Common Era” instead of Anno Domini, along with “Before Common Era”, BCE, instead of Before Christ (B.C.).
Having said that, and however good the motives for turning churches into combination coffee shops, cafes, souvenir shops, therapy centres, food bank outlets and concert halls (or village halls), the inevitable result of all the social and cultural noise is that a certain spiritual peace is lost. To put it in a more sensationalist way, God is squeezed out, though squeezed out, of course, for the best of motives…
I wonder whether Lord O’Donnell was ever connected with Common Purpose? I should not be surprised.

The “lockdown” and facemask nonsense is largely being driven by people (MPs and others) getting generous pay and expenses from public sources, and who are unaffected by the trashing of the economy.
Celebrating #GuyFawkes Night is more important than ever this year. Resisting foreign-inspired tyranny & homegrown traitors is a new duty as well as an old tradition.
Masks for us, but not for them. Late night bars for them, but not for us. Pay rise for them, but not for us. Quarantine for us, but not for them. Police raids for us, but….
Completely expected. The troupe of clowns pretending to be “our” government will do whatever they want to do, lie about it, weasel about it, and laugh at the people they pretend to govern.
The hypocrisy is ingrained. I have only ever seen one episode of The Simpsons, when I lived in New Jersey in the very early 1990s. I cannot recall the storyline, but the show ended with Bart Simpson sitting down and starting “…so, kids, now you know that war is always wrong...” before reconsidering…”oh…except the war against Saddam Hussein…oh, and the Second World War… and the First World War, and of course the War of Independence, and…” You get the idea.
Human beings are often hypocritical, and rarely totally congruent. The hypocrisy and incongruity rises to 99%+ in politicians of the type we have, those Adolf Hitler called “dirty democratic politicians”, though the UK versions are rarely even “democratic” in any real sense.
More accurately, government-created ghost towns. This madness is now totally out of control. Hardly anyone under 40 is at real risk of both becoming infected and suffering serious effects, yet the whole country is still more or less shut down.
In fact, even most people over 40, but under 70, are only at low risk.
When Alison Chabloz started getting seriously persecuted by the pack of Jews known as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, manipulating compliant or suborned police, a few years ago, Martin Bashir [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Bashir], then recently-appointed BBC Religious Affairs Correspondent, was observed creeping around the garden of the house in the Derbyshire Peak District belonging to Alison Chabloz’s aged parents. In fact, “creep” seems to be the best description of the bastard.

True, but ditch the outdated and almost meaningless “Right”/”Left” stuff.
Who said you could @niceetoile? Burnham should be *opposing* these pointless, damaging shutdowns, not asking for extra money to make them temporarily bearable. Every week of shutdown means hundreds more jobs lost, dozens more businesses destroyed. For good. https://t.co/tIiT0qdYxG
Pushing the clocks forward to unnatural time was done in an irrational wartime panic in 1916, because Kaiser Wilhelm did it first. https://t.co/jXOe0WLNUP See also https://t.co/ScXJUj1gho
Yes. Putting the clocks back and forward is one of those things that are implemented for doubtful good reasons, but then get stuck and carry on for years, or decades, because society is too lazy to bin them. Other examples would include dog licences, radio licences and having only a ludicrously small amount of foreign currency purchaseable in person, the amount being written in your passport! All of the foregoing were in existence, though the licences were mostly ignored, until Mrs. Thatcher junked them in or about 1980.
We sometimes think that societal progress or change is automatic, when in fact, often, things do have to be actually disposed of actively.

We are spending so much time arguing about the rules no one seems to be focusing on compliance with the rules. I have to be honest. I’m struggling to find anyone who has any intention of obeying these regulations any more.
Which will be a perfect get-out for Boris-idiot and SAGE (“DUMB”— Department Under Matt and Boris). “Coronavirus flaring up? Oh, it’s because all those dissidents and Covidiots are not complying with our rules…”. Forgetting that France and Spain have had far stricter “lockdowns” etc and yet have a far worse death rate per 100,000 from (with) “the virus” than has the UK.
Just been told children seeing their friends represents “unnecessary contact”. We are so completely and utterly screwed.
OK, here’s another one. What is the science behind telling children who see each other every day inside a school they can’t see each other inside a house for a few hours over half-term.
Morning. We are now less than 3 hours away from Greater Manchester – population 2.8 million – being ordered into a Tier 3 lockdown. Against the wishes of its local democratically elected leaders. A lockdown the Chief Medical Officer has already said won't work.
The “virus” in the UK peaked in early April, and has been falling ever since, but only in the past couple of months has the population been forced to wear facemasks…Absurd. They make no difference at all.
If London is still a functioning city in 12 months time it will be a miracle.
Wales announces circuit-breaker lockdown. Government continues to try and bully Manchester into Tier 3 lockdown. So my regular question. Can we see the scientific evidence that supports these interventions? Any evidence at all?

— Rt Hon Steve Baker MP FRSA 🗽 (@SteveBakerFRSA) October 19, 2020
Latest conspiracy theory
What follows is the latest conspiracy theory about “the virus”. I know that it is the very latest, because I have just made it up. I have no evidence at all for it. Not that it might not just be true…
My instant theory is that an international conspiracy has decided to reduce both the world population and world economic activity by releasing a virus which, like multiple independently-targeted re-entry vehicles (MIRVs), will take multiple forms, killing some people, creating long-term infertility in others, and mutating to return in ever more deadly forms for years. Meanwhile, those behind the facade of national governments will keep both political and economic control, repressing dissent, preventing mass gatherings and even small conclaves.
Well, I make no claim as to the accuracy of the foregoing, but it may be correct all the same…
I am with Paul Mason in respect of his second sentence; in respect of the first, Rachel Reeves may pretend to clarity but in reality is talking nonsense. You cannot “control the virus” unless by stopping it coming to your country or region at all. New Zealand. North Korea. Some other faraway, remote, isolated countries and areas. New Zealanders may think that all their lockdown and facemask nonsense has prevented mass infection, but 99% of it was the fact that inward flights were stopped, and then allowed only with the condition that the passengers were quarantined for weeks on arrival.
Also, Rachel Reeves talks about how the Government’s policies are causing huge economic damage. How much more will a further shutdown of the entire country cause?
Paul Mason was briefly thought of as worth listening to, when he was commenting on political and economic matters on Newsnight in the aftermath of the 2008 banking crash (scandal). Then it became clear that he also held views which were somewhere around anarcho-syndicalism. Crazed post-Marxist communitarianism.
Now he has fallen off the edge of his flat Earth: “In the New Statesman magazine in mid-2018, Mason argued the case for state suppression of “fascists”, saying that he favoured a policy of using “the full panoply of security measures to deter and monitor those he described as “racists” and added: “For clarity, unlike many on the left, that means I am in favour of state suppression…” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)#Politics].
At least one of Mason’s grandparents was Jewish. He is presently writing a book called How To Stop Fascism, which will apparently be published by Penguin. I think that I can guess what that will be like: a pastiche of cartoon-view 20thC history and selected highlights of the past 20 years, combined with a no-doubt convoluted argument which, however, will easily be reducible to the formula “I want to imprison or shoot those with whose views I, Paul Mason, in my self-perceived wisdom, disagree; those whom I and my friends decide to label “fascists”.”
Mason’s formula is not new. Stalin, Trotsky, and the Jewish thugs and gangsters of the 1930s and 1940s would have recognized it. Castro, too. State repression of dissidents.
Brexit could have worked. I favoured it. However, Brexit has been very badly mishandled by stupid and lazy “democratic” politicians like cocaine-snorting drunk Michael Gove; the same goes for Boris-idiot, and in fact for dozens of other Conservative Party drones since 2016. In fact, they are right to say that the EU will collapse; they are wrong to imagine that the UK, as it now is, will not.
Historically, not a few persons holding power, and who are as inept, incompetent and arrogant as Gove, Boris-idiot etc, have ended up getting shot once their misrule has led to societal collapse and then revolution. I would not rule it out here either.
Ironic, though. The first Twitter account is run by Jew-Zionists, the very types that are always trying to censor online (freedom of) expression…
It's been revealed that MPs are in line for an above-inflation pay rise this year. Join me and ask Boris Johnson if he'll give one to our NHS heroes too? https://t.co/gYqaYCm70K
I’m not so sure about this one. Throwing money at “NHS heroes” is popular, of course, but the NHS overall is not working as hard at present as it did a year ago. That applies to many of its staff. Also, “the virus” has not hit doctors, nurses etc harder than many other occupations. Finally, non-nursing staff (including well-paid doctors) have just been given a pay rise of between 4% and 5%. For someone on, say, £150,000 a year, a further £7,000 gross, annually.
Sooner or later, there will have to be a real cultural purge, hitting the BBC, ITV, Sky, publishing, newspapers, the lot. Not just one on paper. A real one.

I was made aware of the latest Islamist atrocity in Paris only late yesterday, and blogged briefly about it to the effect that it was a terrible crime; it is not an excuse, nor any mitigation, that the murdered schoolteacher seems to have shown his pupils caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.
I have no doubt that, had he shown the children some cartoons about the “holocaust” or some of the proven fakery thereof, he would have been dismissed, and quite likely also prosecuted (though the Jews would probably not have actually killed him).
The cartoons below make the point:
Today, Rothschilds NWO/ZOG puppet Macron was on TV talking about the atrocity, and paying lip service to “free speech”, which he claimed as one of the foundation stones of the French republic. Oh really? When “holocaust” “denial” (historical revision or revisionism) is actually a crime in France?

@admcollimngwood. If Russia had behaved towards Azerbiajan as NATO Turkey is behaving towards Armenia, can you imagine the fuss? Why is Erdogan so immune? https://t.co/16A2JNjUDG
Turkey has, since the 1920s, stabilized the geopolitical situation on the southern flank of Eurasia. If Turkey is no longer stable (as started to be the case several years ago), then the powerful forces around it (Russia, NATO, Islamism, Israel, mainly) come into direct conflict. It may be that NATO is trying to keep Erdogan at least partly onside, by appeasing him.

Might be worth the British Left reflecting on how the hunt for political inspiration has now taken them as far as New Zealand…
This whole “lockdown”/facemasks/etc thing becomes more ludicrous day by day, with the government of clowns saying that it may be necessary to place even different streets in the same area under different “lockdown” or “tier” conditions. I wonder at what point people generally will wake up and just say “screw this“…
If the WW2 “gas chambers” were “the hoax of the 20th Century”, then it is beginning to look as though “Covid-19” Coronavirus is becoming the hoax of the 21st. Not that I “deny” the existence of “Covid-19”. It exists all right, which is more than can be said of the fabled “gas chambers”; where I depart from the official narrative is when it is said that whole countries have to shut down, their populations forced into muzzles and/or house arrest, all because of a virus which so far has killed (even on official figures) only 1 person in every 8,000 people in the world.
Doesn't matter whether you're pro-Brexit or anti-Brexit. Britain needs No Deal at the moment like it needs a hole in the head.

Yes. When the “virus” fear propaganda started, I too was taken in, for a week or so. I’m not that easily taken in (and am aware re. the Great Reset, the Great Replacement, NWO, ZOG etc), so cannot blame the mass of people for having believed the nonsense (but please wake up now, people…)
Not entirely convinced by this. I myself oppose the international conspiracy, yet my own full name (Ian Robert Millard), according to one of the several systems of occult numerology, adds up to 666. Grey area.
Ha. A “Scotsman” by invasion. Typical of the fake “nationalist” SNP. I can see the problem the (real) Scots have, though. The only other parties are also System parties, and utterly discredited.
One could compare “the virus” panicdemic to the “reds under the beds” hysteria of the early 1950s. There was a real threat in some limited areas of society (in the USA, the danger was largely centred on Hollywood) but hugely overblown.
The reason for mandating masks was to maintain fear & provide a clear sign of compliance so peer pressure can be brought to bear on the dissenters. Masks introduced when viral prevalence very low – there was never going to be any exit criteria. #coronavirus#ditchthemask
One of the core tenets of the #MentalHealth mantra is that #freeWill is supposedly a mere illusion. Aberrant or noncompliant behaviour can thus be treated as a disease rather than an expression of one's personhood. >>
When I travelled widely as a practising barrister (mainly by car when in the UK), before 2009, I noticed how some areas were being given new roads (with very little traffic), even new rail lines. There were also being renewed some of the rail lines closed down in the 1960s, such as the “Varsity line” between Oxford and Cambridge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varsity_Line.
“In 1987, the section between Oxford and Bicester was reopened, followed in 2015 by a connection to the Chiltern Main Line at Bicester, enabling Chiltern Railways to operate an Oxford to London passenger service. There are funded plans for the entire line to be re-established by the “mid 2020s” (partly on a new route) under a new name – East West Rail.” [Wikipedia]
In my view, there is some kind of long term plan to abandon London if necessary, and make the centre of administration and government somewhere in the central/Eastern part of England, maybe in that Bucks/Beds/Cambs area.
“Lockdowns” and other nonsense
“British voters do not trust Boris Johnson and his health secretary Matt Hancock to beat coronavirus, according to a new survey – and less than a quarter (22 per cent) think it would be reasonable for ministers to expect them to keep obeying restrictions on their social and economic lives beyond the spring.” [The Independent]
The whole thing has become ludicrous. There again, if your government is just a pack of clowns headed by a part-Jew public entertainer, this is the chaos and nonsense you should expect…

This clear, severely factual analysis rips both Johnson’s and Starmer’s witless positions to pieces. Read and spread as widely as you can. Britain must not be sacrificed, writes Professor ROBERT DINGWALL https://t.co/E972wl6BqO via @MailOnline
Some highlights from the above article by Professor Dingwall:
“...advocacy of this so-called ‘circuit-breaker’ shows how some members of the scientific community have lost their sense of proportion. In essence, they want the entire wellbeing of the nation to be sacrificed on the altar of the fight against Covid.”
“…it ignores the devastating social and economic impact of Covid restrictions, and exaggerates the threat the disease poses.
Of course we must seek to save the lives of those seriously affected by the coronavirus, but we must not be so narrow-minded as to forget people suffering from other conditions and the catastrophic effect of our approach on the economy.”
“Despite all the hysteria, this is not a modern plague. In the week ending October 2, Covid accounted for just 3.2 per cent of all fatalities in British hospitals. Even with the recent rise in infections, Covid mortality levels are drastically lower now than at the peak of the pandemic in the spring.”
“For those admitted to intensive care with Covid, the chances of survival have gone up to 80 per cent. Even for the very elderly, contracting it need not be a death sentence.
Contrary to the depressing propaganda, six in every seven people who are infected over the age of 90 actually survive.”
Note the direction of travel. Straight down.
A social national movement must arise. By 2022, its time will have come.
[Update, 23 August 2024: Well, the analysis was right—the time came, or has come, but what is lacking still is the actual social national movement. That has not emerged (yet). Sadly].

Democracy muzzled https://t.co/iOHzBJWVRd thanks @ClarkeMicah Peter Hitchens for this article. Remember the 'War on Terror' against a Taliban who allow no singing, no dancing, no political demonstrations, face coverings and horrify the 'liberal elite'? Well look at us now!
@barry6883927 You are waiting for the monolith to crack. When it does, it will happen fast. The letters to MPs will only work when there are enough of them. They appeal not to reason but to MPs' fears of losing their seats, which we need to outweigh their fear of Downing Street. https://t.co/ual6bAjYva
I think that many MPs fear something else much much more…
Imagine this nightmare. Laurel and Hardy, smiling and incompetent, burst into your house – but turn out not be comics but to be thugs and vandals, smashing and wrecking all they see. Hancock and Johnson.
'You want to let the virus rip' sneer Hancock & Johnson at anyone who backs a different approach:How dare they? They've let cancer rip. They've let heart disease rip. They've let misery rip through thousands of lives, wrecked funerals, couples kept apart, educations destroyed.
Well, there it is: yesterday, nearly 13,000 known “cases”, yet only 65 deaths. About 1 death for every 200 “cases”. Most people are not even tested, so that must mean about 1 death for every 1,000, 2,000 or more people in the UK.
The Government of Clowns is shutting down great swathes of the country (again) for almost nothing.
Britain’s toytown police state flexes its muscles again
I am reposting, below, tweets from little Darren Grimes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Grimes], despite the fact that he and his “libertarian” friends have never once said a word in defence of, inter alia, me, Alison Chabloz (who is still being both persecuted and prosecuted for singing songs and for taking part in an Internet “radio” discussion!), or Jez Turner of the London Forum (persecuted by a pack of Zionist Jews who then leant on the CPS to prosecute him— he spent 6 months of a one year sentence in prison, for making a single short speech in public).
Ecce! The “Free Speech Union” (the usual “libertarian” crowd, Delingpole, Toby Young etc), and LBC radio talking head Iain Dale all decry the misuse of police powers to repress Grimes’ free speech. Fine, but where were those hypocritical bastards when I was under attack? Skulking, afraid of the Jew lobby, that’s where!
They never defended my rights, never defended Alison Chaboz, never defended Jez Turner or others who have been repressed by police and prosecutors suborned by the Jew-Zionist lobby.
Still, here I am defending this individual’s rights. #MoralHighGround…
Incidentally, I see that the Daily Mail article above is written by Sarah Vine, the wife of Michael Gove [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gove]. One of the (in the end, five) tweets that resulted in my 2016 disbarment was that describing Gove (entirely accurately) as a “pro-Jew, pro-Israel, expenses cheat“. Despite those words being entirely truthful, they were held at Tribunal to be “grossly offensive”! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gove#Controversies.
Below, a typical tweeter who supports free speech (he says) yet seems rather naive to say the least—for a lecturer in politics (even at secondary school level): http://www.adrianhilton.com/index.php/sample-page/.
Darren Grimes is perhaps not sufficiently aware to know that it was the Jew-Zionist lobby that started this fairly recent trend of “lawfare”, meaning the abuse of badly-drafted laws to repress opinions of which that Jew lobby disapproves. The most obvious example of a badly-drafted law is the Communications Act 2003, s.127.
Jews are fond of saying that “repression may start with the Jews but rarely finishes with them“. It seems to be true, but not in the way “they” mean. They themselves started this attack on free speech, but it is not the Jewish population that suffers from it.
Oh, and right on cue (see below) comes Karl Turner MP [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Turner_(British_politician)], the sort of muddle-head who thinks that he is being terribly clever for saying “freedom of expression does not mean freedom from consequences“, a phrase which could be applied to Stalin’s Russia or Mao’s China.
Just been pointed out to me Karl Turner is actually a shadow justice minister now. Very worrying from Labour. https://t.co/IaymFUupLV

So the BBC pays some ignorant Northern Irish slug to harass members of the public. Quelle surprise. This is him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Nolan, though the main photo seems to be a decade or more out of date.
That Nolan person (of whom I had never heard until today), seems to be unaware that not everyone has to wear a facemask muzzle even under the (probably legally invalid) government “rules”…
Interesting. Last year? It’s almost as if some in the Government knew that there would be a Coronavirus “crisis”…Google “Great Reset” and/or “Great Replacement”…
HM government would do well to remember that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
English Bill of Rights (1689) guarantees the right to political speech & protest against HM Government. It states: "That it is the Right of the Subjects to petition the King and all Commitments and Prosecutions for such Petitioning are Illegall." https://t.co/HXf10iIfQW

The problem is that a huge number of people who want to be taken seriously have a huge amount of emotional capital invested in the fear propaganda, the facemask nonsense, the “lockdown” stupidity, the “clap for the NHS” nonsense (remember that? Idiots standing and clapping to order?). Not just the Government of Clowns; also the Twitterati (most of them), the pseudo-socialists etc. The facts are plainly against them, but all they (really) want to do is control what others do and say, or even think. The facemask muzzling is symbolic of that tendency.
I would rather trust Soviet TV, if it still existed, than today’s BBC.
2/2 @gerryoliver1. Given that we *do* know that these measures destroy jobs, businesses, health and liberty, I think I am entitled to ask those who call for them to provide evidence that they do any good. At the moment, HMG and Government broadcasters BBC *presume* this. https://t.co/Y1r6mLZxLk

“There is no getting around the fact that Europe is in absolute decline.”
“The continent’s long-stagnating economy is perched at the edge of a precipice. The Covid-19 health crisis has morphed over these past six months into a severe recession, exacerbating long-established European economic fault lines. Already hard-pressed southern Europe is experiencing by far the worst of things, as the continent is rotting from within. The south grows ever more politically resentful, even as the north grows weary of bailing out its hapless European brethren.
Vastly underreported, Europe’s moribund economy is presently entering a doom loop of deflation, with extremely limited weapons at its disposal to avoid the dreaded Japanification of the continent.” [City AM magazine] https://www.cityam.com/almost-unnoticed-europe-hurtles-into-decline/
Another important point. I see reports now from industries as diverse as hotels and construction, all starting to seriously consider increasing the use of robotics and allied technologies. Caterpillar is even adapting existing machines to no-driver operation.

More about the Darren Grimes matter
The big question of course is whether the CPS/cops are saying the publication on social media of *any* interview with someone who says racist things is potentially committing a public order offence. Indeed publication/broadcast anywhere.
The above thread (worth seeing) was about Keir Starmer’s refusal to support free speech. He of course is completely tied up with the Jew-Zionist lobby and the freemasons.
A tidal wave of “usual suspect” idiots are on Twitter today, not supporting free speech but socio-political repression. Look at the idiot below:
Well said @Keir_Starmer Mr Grimes should be accountable for his actions in giving a racist a platform to propagate his views, police are right to investigate
Nice to see that some people see the sheer stupidity of many of the “politically-correct”.
You're missing the point, willfully or not.
Once you open that door, anyone can report you for an offensive communication, on any topic that they choose to be offended by. Whether you, or a reasonably minded person, is or would be offended by it is irrelevant.
That Dom Dyer person is pretty thick. He used to block me and tweet against me. Incidentally, I favour protecting badgers; he ought to stick to that. He does not have the horsepower to think and discuss about these wider socio-political issues.
Frankly, I think that half the problems with Britain are connected with the fact that far too many people in high or significant positions are simply not intelligent or educated enough. You only have to look at the present pack of clowns posing as a government.
So where does this end – do we say that owen Jones and ash Sarkar should be banned as we don’t want to give socialists a platform ? Should Corbyn be banned from the airwaves ?
Dominic, would you have Frankie Boyle prosecuted for the "Kill Whitey" comment on his show the other week, one that went unchallenged and was met with smiles and giggles by all assembled?
Here (below) is another unthinking one, a scribbler in the past for the Judenpresse/Lugenpresse, and in recent years editor of a holiday cruise magazine:
He is right. Hate speech and incitement should always be investigated – and challenged.

Here are Mr H's words from that article ' Yes, coronavirus poses a risk. No, our response to it is not intelligent or useful. In fact, I think it is increasingly damaging and will soon become more so.'
That is the crucial point: “the virus” is a serious public health problem, but the risk (especially of serious harm or death) has been hugely overplayed. There should never have been general “lockdown”; there should never have been stupidities such as the facemask nonsense and the “Rule of Six” etc.

A video (10 mins) which is well worth watching
Covid-19 survival rates
Center for Disease Control, USA: “Covid survival rate if you are infected: age 0-19 : 99.997%, age 20-49: 99.98%. age 50-69: 99.5%. age 70+: 94.6%.”
Note, if you are infected; many are never infected; many are never known or discovered to be infected.
Why is this not publicized more in the UK (where the statistics are at least similar)? Because there is an agenda behind all this…
Sturgeon’s toytown dictatorship
As recently as, say, 20 or even 10 years ago, Sturgeon, or someone like her, would have been just laughed at. Now look at her! “First Minister” of devolved Scotland, leader of a substantial bloc of MPs in the Westminster monkeyhouse, and now instituting a toytown police state north of Hadrian’s Wall.
The Scottish economy was in a poor state anyway. Now, not “the virus” but the hysterical over-reaction to it has pretty much collapsed the economy of Scotland. I was just reading about how Edinburgh Woolen Mill Company has been into or is going into administration. Looks like it is finished, the way Sturgeon is even racing ahead of the UK Government in trashing the economy. Jaeger is one of the subsidiary companies affected; Peacock’s is another. 24,000 jobs: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8823023/Jaeger-Peacocks-owner-Edinburgh-Woollen-brink-collapse-24-000-jobs-risk.html
24,000 jobs lost affects at least 100,000 people: families, and those companies supplying goods and services to those people (who will now have far less spending money).
On the wider point, I have always said that I have no objection to Scotland breaking away from the UK, but that if it does, it cannot expect to be further subsidized by England. Neither can it rely on “its” North Sea Oil. At present that is costing about $10 per barrel more to produce than its sale value.
A good point (which I have myself made many times). You cannot plausibly oppose Jewish Zionist behaviour in Israel/Palestine, but excuse it in the UK, France, Germany or USA (etc). Same types, same problem.
Anyone who (stand up, Jeremy Corbyn and your Labour Party supporters!) pays lip-service to Jewish festivals, the “holocaust” narrative or who supports action against “antisemitism”, is supporting Zionism both in the Middle East and in the rest of the world.
Been a while since I heard any lib-leftist or ex-Trot libertarian banging on about "my body, my choice".

Peter Hitchens and I probably disagree with what needs to happen to the Westminster monkeyhouse (MPs, “lords”, Press and other msm drones and puppets)…
The whole corrupt system needs to go, and that includes the mindset, which is so ingrained.
At present, I am little more than completely obscure, as far as the general public is concerned. Yes, a certain number of people, who mostly agree with me, read my blog (tens of thousands of hits already this year), yes those hostile to European race and culture are aware of me (and snoop on me), and “the authorities” are well aware of me and my blog. However, the general public is unaware of my existence. I am untroubled by that, yet feel a duty to become better known.
When I was disbarred in late 2016, there began to be public interest. Had I been in a different and better position generally, I could have accepted the invitation from pretty much every newspaper (national and even regional/local) to be interviewed. I declined. I seem to recall that even some TV “journalist” was interested. I was not.
Naturally, any msm interview would have been hostile in intent, if not in form or attitude. However, I can understand the balancing act involved when a political “activist” (though I am hardly that) is asked to be interviewed or to appear on TV. One thinks of the Nick Griffin Question Time appearance. Naturally, a political party or group will usually want publicity, but of what kind? “Ay, there’s the rub“…
Incidentally, after my disbarment and the Daily Mail piece about me that appeared the next day, I was interested to see that, despite the Jew claque organizing hostile remarks in the “readers’ comments” underneath the story, most of those comments were in fact favourable; the Mail then expunged many favourable comments and stopped taking new ones.
Again, the persecuted satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz was basically unknown before the fake “charity” known as”Campaign Against Antisemitism” started to push police and CPS to harass and prosecute her. That campaign has backfired, and woken up untold thousands more to the menace that Jewish Zionism represents.
"I am 80, and it is no business of the Government to tell me whether or not to kiss my grandchildren, or whom I may invite into my house. It is time to dismantle the grisly apparatus of anti-social distancing and to pick up the pieces of life"https://t.co/wY8wglfbKm
Again, that letter-writer thinks that if only the Government knew…whereas the government of clowns knows very well. It just does not care. Reminiscent of those who, in 1905, marched through St. Petersburg, thinking if only the Tsar knew what was being done (or not done) in his name…The same was true under Stalin: if Stalin knew of this or that injustice, he would stop it. I think not!
Well, we all know what happened in the end to Nikolai II and his ministers; as to Stalin. he himself may have escaped assassination or execution, but many of his ministers did not.
But I support your right to earn a living until someone can come up with some better evidence than I have seen for putting you out of business and out of work.
No @latimeralder, but the government and the BBC are both in the grip of zombies who cannot grasp this rather obvious point, so we must all suffer until the said zombies have been replaced by thinking persons. Be angry. Be patient. The madness can be ended. https://t.co/CqXCdJeuNo
This (above) really is the elephant in the room. The madness is such that I cannot go along with Peter Hitchens’ view that all this is somehow only the result of the incompetence and uselessness of Boris-idiot and his cohorts (incompetent and useless though they are). That does not plausibly explain the similar agenda being followed by a number of governments in major countries across the world. We thus arrive at the view that the madness is connected with “the Great Reset”…

For once, I agree with Ash Sarkar. Allegra Stratton [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegra_Stratton] has just been appointed spokesperson for Boris-idiot. Salary? I do not know. Somewhere in the £200,000 zone, I expect. Oh, and the bitch is married to James Forsyth [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Forsyth_(journalist)], who writes for the Spectator and the Sun “newspaper”, and is probably on at least £200,000 too.
So there we see a sanctimonious bitch with a gross family income of, or close to, £500,000 p.a., trying to put down a poor young woman who is trying to bring up a young daughter on peanuts. Yes, I see that the victim is mixed-race etc, but that is a separate issue. In fact, I commend the polite way in which the young woman responds to what amounts to bullying by someone who has had all the social and economic advantages.
What a prize bitch Allegra Stratton must be! We must not miss, though, the fact that this is “Conservative” Party propaganda. Not only is Allegra Stratton now going to be the mouthpiece of Downing Street, but she and her husband are “close friends” with Indian “clever boy” Rishi Sunak…
Is this part of the softening-up process for yet more “austerity”by another name, as Sunak and Boris-idiot p*** hundreds of billions up against the wall? In the David Cameron-Levita 2010-2015 government, the poorest people in the UK were blamed for the 2008 world banking crash; will the same ploy be used to lay blame for “lack of money” by reason of “the virus” (in reality, caused by the “lockdown” shutdown, an act of national economic suicide or murder carried out by a pack of idiots in high positions)?
Oh, and I belatedly saw this (below) from Private Eye, which exposes the unprofessional behaviour of Allegra Stratton (well, “journalism” is not really a “profession” anyway, but you take my point…):
Looks as though Boris-idiot and Dominic Cummings have hired the right “ho”…

“Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.” That is the UK, now. Mad. One cannot entirely blame the Government of Clowns. A majority of the British people are stupid enough, fearful enough, or brainwashed enough to support either the present raft of toytown police state measures or even harsher ones! They seem to believe that there is a real and serious threat to life and health, or maybe they just want to be told what to do. Ironically, the pseudo-socialist ones (eg on Twitter) and those who think that they are “Left”, support “civil rights” and “human rights” are those most willing to be obedient serfs of Boris-idiot’s bad joke government! They want to be ground down harder, the idiots!

In a sense, it is incredible how a people as traditionally (though maybe not so much now) educated and intelligent as the Scots can take petty dictator Sturgeon and her unpleasant little SNP pack seriously. I suppose that the blame lies with the (other, older) System parties: “Labour”, “Conservative”, “Liberal Democrat” (all very much misnamed).
The Labour Party lost all credibility in Scotland, finally grinding to a halt under System drone, Jewish lobby mouthpiece (and now Tony Blair-salaried “gopher”), Jim Murphy, a man who spent 13 years as a university student without even getting a degree! Not forgetting Kezia Dugdale, another “never had a job” drone, idiot (and now newspaper-scribbling lesbian).
The Conservative Party is making minor inroads in Scotland by default, i.e. because they are neither Labour nor SNP (nor LibDem), but I cannot see that getting far, bearing in mind the Boris-idiot government in London and the upcoming economic tsunami triggered by government policy around “the virus”, as well as by badly-mishandled Brexit.
The SNP is only “faux”-nationalist, tolerant of mass immigration (perhaps because Scotland has as yet not been affected as much by it as has been England) and very much in the pocket of the Jewish lobby. Indeed, what sort of “Independence” would it be, if Scotland were still in the EU, NATO, and under the international conspiracy-consensus (NWO, ZOG, Bilderberg etc)?
Still, if Scotland wants “Independence”, let it go its own way, by all means. The rest of Britain can then turn to real social-nationalism.
Here is my own assessment, from last year, of Mike Stuchbery: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/10/23/a-few-words-about-mike-stuchbery/. He keeps tweeting that he has been “libelled” by me and various others (including some Danes, apparently), and that he is “keeping track of all the libel“. He often tweets about how anyone exposing him better get good lawyers and/or that he will “clean out” anyone who tweets or writes about him.
Well, here is a piece of totally free legal advice from an ex-barrister: Stuchbery now has exactly 16 days in which he might start legal proceedings against me in libel in relation to my blog post about him. I am not quaking…
How does beggaring the rest of the defence budget to build two vast floating car parks achieve that @drchrisparry? Our size and location cannot be changed. If we are to cease to be broke, then we are going to have to learn how to spend our money more wisely. https://t.co/IZBcZVA8uU
I hope that that tweeter, “@DrChrisParry”, knows more about defence than he seems to know about UK strategy more generally. His view seems to be that the UK having a couple of aircraft carriers will push the UK to the top of the tree in terms of world power. Well, the U.S. Navy has 11 aircraft carriers; China has 2 (building another at present, with 6 planned in all); Russia has 2, with 2 more in the pipeline; Italy has 2; France has 1; and so on.
The tweeter noted seems to think that spending money in vast quantities on an aircraft carrier or two will arrest the relative decline of Britain, which has been a fact since 1918 and especially since 1945. This is hardly worth arguing… As for “resisting the power of totalitarian regimes“, the only power constantly intimidating Britain and its corrupt politicians is the USA, our supposed ally… and American military-destructive power dwarfs that of the UK.
Ah, I see that tweeter “@DrChrisParry” does indeed know about defence, at least in its tactical aspects, he having been an admiral and a commander of ships in actual warfare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Parry_(Royal_Navy_officer). Sadly, it remains true that, just as the environment cannot be left to farmers (because of both self-interest and blinkered viewpoints), defence strategy cannot be left to the generals and admirals, however distinguished.
Oh, the sheer pleasure of being able to slowly advance in that vehicle, watching the horror slowly dawn on the bitch’s face as she realises that she is going down. Would she try to run or jump away in the last split-second, or would she just utter a last scream as the “tank” rolls over her?

I happened to see this:
When I visited the DDR (East Germany) briefly in 1988, the impression I received was that it was more like a stage set of a state than a real one, but I had no idea that, as little as a year or so later, that state would not exist.
Who knows, really, how long any state, even one as longlasting as the UK, will last?
Why did the DDR collapse? Why did the Soviet Union collapse? Many causes, but overall because they decayed internally. That was the number one cause.
Now look at the UK. It may continue for decades, or even centuries. More likely, it will pass into history within a few years from today.

Yes, it seems as if most of the media are providing a sort of smokescreen for the government, preventing proper scrutiny where it actually matters – the policies themselves, not the way in which they're administered.
Grotesque, unconscionable, cruel and unbelievable. These are the horrible things people do when they think they are doing good. I really do not know why we put up with this. Where is the Opposition? Where is Parliament? Where are the BBC? Where are the courts? https://t.co/fZmL8QMBDe
Peter Hitchens still (perhaps) thinks that the UK as a “nation” (no, it is not really a nation any more) exists and that its old and now ramshackle institutions (courts, judges, Parliament, “free” Press, BBC) still have value. “Where are they?“, asks Hitchens, despairingly. They are now but “whited sepulchres”, almost-ruins.
Once again, a nice, well-behaved, civilized English person who thinks that we need “debate”. I think that we need something quite different (though true facts are always useful).
Peter Hitchens is right. The Conservative party hates its voters and is the opposite of conservatism.
The “Conservative” Party does hate most of its voters. Look at the Parliamentary Party, the Cabinet, the [person posing as] Prime Minister! What do we see? Jews, Mischlingen, wealthy Indians, token blacks and half-castes like Cleverly. As for the white English and Welsh “Conservative” MPs, most are either greedy speculators like Jacob Rees-Mogg, idiot backwoodsmen in it for the pay and expenses (like Peter Bone), or lobby fodder —and (((lobby))) fodder— without an original thought in all their heads combined.

Trump: whatever one’s general view of him, he has proven his point. He is 74, overweight, has a poor diet (we are told), has contracted “the virus”, yet has spent only a few days in hospital (and mainly out of his doctors’ caution). His wife, also infected, has just been resting at home.
Conclusion: this is not the plague, most people are not even aware that they have “the virus”; few die from it (in relation to those infected or the population as a whole).
The UK “panicdemic”: the government is simply afraid to tell people “we got it wrong; this is nowhere as bad as we have been saying for 6 months“.
UK finances: now it is becoming clear that either there will be even more public spending cuts, reducing the UK to the backward status of a third-rate power (complete with “diverse” population), or there will have to be steep tax rises for the majority of the population.
A kind of semi-dictatorship, hard to define but somewhere between an oligarchy and what someone wittily termed a “wallygarchy”, is being put into place, not overnight but in Lilliputian steps; many small binding ties. The unnecessary fear the “government of clowns” has injected into the population makes that process much easier…but destroys almost everything else.
The wicked flourish like the green bay tree, indeed…That bitch should be really grateful to her inept and stupid (and, arguende, over-sentenced) husband. Not only has she got shot of a husband with whom she was probably bored anyway, but she managed to take over his position as MP and now, it appears, sold her story to the Press for £25,000! As good as the plot of a cheap novel by one or another disgraced Conservative MP…
As to why I think that Elphicke was over-sentenced (probably the only thing with which I might agree with Natalie Elphicke), when you look at what Elphicke actually did, it amounted to making very inept attempts to seduce three women. His actions make “cringeworthy” reading, but being a complete idiot and rather unpleasant is not a crime. If it were, there would be few MPs left (yay! ha ha!).
More seriously, a sentence of a month, or a couple of months, would have been enough to mark the badness of his actions. He would still have lost his seat: while that would not have been automatic —the sentence has to be a year or more for that— there is no doubt that he would have gone, and probably within a few months.
There is much too much leniency in some sentencing, but also a great deal of over-sentencing. For example, we see daily in the tabloid or local Press, “she (and it is often a woman) was spared prison” (often but not always because the woman has a child). There are many male thugs too who are let off lightly.
I saw a report about how a gang of “people” attacked two policemen trying to arrest a motor thief, and poured petrol on them, but failed to find matches or a lighter. Sentence for the main perpetrator? 3 years, 9 months, so that one will be out in less than two years. Another got a short sentence, while a third was given a “community penalty”!
Jez Turner of the London Forum got a year for making a short speech! More than a quarter of what he would have got for trying to murder two policemen! (note: those criminals with the petrol were not actually charged with attempted murder; why not?).
The video itself is nice; I could do without the repetitive and noisy musical soundtrack, though.

A curious article @NavyLookout as it seems to think that the RN is still a 'first-tier navy'. The purpose and nature of your fleet is plainly important in your choice of ship. But by what definition is the RN not already a second (if not a third) tier navy? https://t.co/3MEumHgHG5
2/2 @johndstats The real naval race of the 20th century was the one with the USA, which we lost. https://t.co/lroUDyVKkE But we did not need to go this far in self-abasement. Turning our Navy into a sort of sub-contractor for the USN is just wrong. https://t.co/DVWtQMUasF
Again exactly right. From Roman times to our own, the position of an ally can quickly become that of a vassal. The two world wars, and particularly the unnecessary world struggle with the German Reich, killed Britain as a world power. Britain gave many of its bases overseas to the USA, and now many “British” bases (RAF bases) in Britain are really American bases. Britain is still America’s “unsinkable aircraft carrier“, in the words of Roosevelt.

This video from Laura Towler and Mark Collett is worth seeing. Laura’s account [from about 8 minutes in] of how her bank account was frozen (without right of access, appeal or much information), frozen because of her political views, is chilling.
That is the future that awaits. Dissidents will have their bank accounts closed and/or stolen, and you will be stuffed then even if you have cash for immediate necessities, because almost everything will require a debit or credit card. In the UK, it is halfway there already.
For a number of years, and until about 11 years ago, I used to stay in hotels (mainly in the UK) about 10 days per month, usually arranging things via Internet and paying by debit card. Once, I wanted to pay by cash when I was somewhere in England unexpectedly, and was told that I not only had to get permission to pay cash but also pay a deposit (about the same amount as, or maybe slightly less than, the cost of one night’s stay)!
I once went to Hong Kong without more than a small amount of cash, only a debit card and a credit card. The organization operating the debit card (a major bank) had a serious technical problem that affected much of East Asia. I was unable to use that card. Fortunately, I had the credit card too, and my suite at the Sheraton in Kowloon was paid for in advance, but under other circumstances I might have been stuck for days, without shelter or food.
Imagine a future where there is no cash. You are then entirely dependent on the centralized money power. You can become an unperson overnight, unable to pay utility bills, get fuel for your car, food for yourself, and so on.
All very true, but the eternal bleat of the self-describing “Left” is a function of weakness. No programme, no policy, no power, just a continual “it’s unfair” bleat.
The above idiot tweeter (a teacher…wouldn’t you know? Almost a guarantee of ignorance) thinks that the importation of millions of immigrants, and their having bred for decades now, resulting in a population of over 70 million, compared to 56 million in the 1990s, has nothing to do with homelessness! Oh, no, nothing at all! It’s all the fault of government! Didn’t you know? It is the fault of government, failing to wave a magic wand to solve the (homelessness and housing) problem(s).
Well, when government has waved a magic wand to solve the terrible and increasing housing problems in the UK, perhaps tweeter “@JamieKay22” can get government to wave that wand for a second time, and thus magically transform the migrant-invaders of all sorts (and their UK-born offspring), almost all of whom are totally useless, and totally unemployable, into the brain surgeons, nurses, entrepreneurs and public service staff that we are always being told that they are…
Well, my grandfather fought in WW2 (France/Dunkirk and, later, Burma). He was older than average, having been born in 1901. Even someone who was 18 in 1944 and so might just have served in, or even actually “fought” in, WW2 by the time it ended (Spring 1945), would have to have been born no later than 1926. In other words, such a person would now be at least 94 years old.
What evidence is there that the few surviving “veterans” of WW2, 94+ years old, are “anti-racists”, let alone “Remainers”? None. Typical pseudo-socialist drivel. Yet note how many similar types have “liked” that last tweet. Hundreds…
Incidentally, that tweeter has no less than 37,000 Twitter followers (over 10x more than I had when the Jewish lobby had me expelled from Twitter in 2018). Another indication of how pointless Twitter is as a tool of real influence.
Seems that “@JamieKay22” does not like the truth being said; see below:
A reminder about the existence of Jud Suss [The Jew Suss], a German film of 1940 (remake of a 1934 one), which is now banned by the BBC, other TV channels, and even YouTube, despite it having been based on real historical events in the Germany of the 18th Century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jud_S%C3%BC%C3%9F.
I once had a copy of a booklet which listed all the “antisemitic” famous composers, writers, artists, scientists, inventors etc of Europe. Hundreds. Most people who are educated and intelligent enough to think for themselves see the problem.
A very significant cultural figure, influential in his day and later. I once had a lease of a house in Cornwall with (originally) 26 bedrooms. In the entrance hall or Outer Hall, there was panelling to head height, and above that original William Morris wallpaper, though sadly decayed thanks to over a century of the damp Cornish climate, and neglect.

This “Femi Sorry” person is a UK-born Nigerian who has been pushed and puffed by the System merely because he can string a few words together, and because there is now a campaign for more blacks in the msm and politics (despite the proportion on TV and in the Commons being in fact at least as great as that in the population).
“Femi” has parents who both have well-paid positions in the NHS, his father being a surgeon, his mother a paediatrician.
“Femi” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole] apparently “worked in non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and human rights agencies” for a few years, presumably as a “gopher”. He “gave up his job” (whatever that was; teaboy?) at age 27 in order to campaign against Brexit. His Wikipedia entry does not point out that his organization, “Our Future Our Choice”, was bankrolled by an EU-funded entity.
Wikipedia: “Oluwole regularly appeared in the media during the process of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union.[16][17] Oluwole has written for The Independent,[18]The Guardian,[19] and the Metro,[20] and is a regular guest on Talkradio.” “Femi” has also attacked “antisemitism”, apparently. Ah, I think we can see who or what is pulling the strings of this puppet…
In fact, the tweet from “@CentralReserva9” is slightly unfair. “Femi” is still only 30. Perhaps he hopes that Keir Starmer Labour will eventually ask him to become a Labour Party MP. Alternatively, that he can build on his now-weekly appearance on the Sky News talking head show, which features such as Nick Ferrari and Rachel Johnson.
“Femi” tweets fairly often (as I write, several times in one hour) and has about a quarter of a million “followers” on Twitter. I should imagine that his real political influence is close to zero, but it says a lot about the naivety of so many self-describing “Left” people on Twitter that they see him as some sort of, so to speak, “great white hope”. After all, what has he ever done, really? Blagged a fairly soft degree (from Nottingham) in French and Law, worked in very minor jobs for about 3-4 years, then —thanks to the support of the EU and his own parents (in whose home he was and maybe still is living)— presented himself as anti-Brexit “youth” figurehead.
I should add that the financial support for “Our Future Our Choice” must have been considerable. During the Referendum campaign, it had offices in a Westminster building that also housed departments of the Labour and Conservative parties, and offices of major transnational enterprises and organizations. Someone laid out quite a bit of money for this puppet.
The above says something about more than just one System-approved talking head. It goes to the way in which what is on TV and radio is presented to the general public. Put “Femi” with Nick Ferrari, maybe Rachel Johnson and a few others, and you have the semblance of a “diverse” discussion, whereas in reality it is as controlled as a Punch and Judy show.
ps. Seems that I am not the only person who wants to tell irrelevant little “Femi” to shut up and get lost (preferably out of both the UK and the rest of Europe):
Poor wee Femi. Is he still howling in the wind? I muted him weeks ago to block out the din. So much more peaceful. https://t.co/FADOVIhUuU

Hitchens is quite wrong. Abstention, even organized abstention, does not affect the System, because it will then just be said that “people have a right to vote; if they fail to exercise that right, then they cannot complain”. Already only about two-thirds bother to vote in general elections in the UK; in by-elections, sometimes as few as a fifth vote. In local elections, so few vote that a handful of voters (a few dozen) can change the outcome.
It might be the case that if 90% or more were to boycott general elections, there would be enough pressure to change the electoral system etc, but such an event is unlikely to happen.

I’ve sent you a link to the story about Blair’s confession that he was a Trotskyist at Oxford @markseddon1962 . A story that would have led every bulletin and front page in 1997, was not even picked up 20 years later. Except by me. https://t.co/iru5fWUiIX
…and even Peter Hitchens has never alleged (as others have) that Tony Blair, as a student, was actually arrested, charged and convicted (on a guilty plea) on a charge of gross indecency in a public loo, but (allegedly again) gave a false name, and so escaped any negative career consequences.
I think that those allegations say that Blair came up before the “beak” at Great Marlborough Street Mags (Magistrates) in London, where I appeared a couple of times as Counsel when I was still a “second-six” Bar pupil, i.e. a pretty green recent-trainee barrister. I think that both of my appearances related to theft charges, though.

Beware of official statistics, cause-of-death statistics in particular…
There’s a whole bunch of people on Twitter, normally hugely critical of Boris Johnson, the Tories and the government, but 100% behind every government lockdown measure and even the now clearly unlikely Whitty-Vallance 50,000 cases graph. Who can explain this strange phenomenon?
Andew Neil should read my previous blog posts in which I examine the phenomenon. It comes down to political infantilism.
The people who are usually Twitter pseudo-socialists are basically politically naive. They think that mass immigration can be combined with high pay, high State benefits, a decent NHS and a viable national future. They think that they support “freedom” yet want to remove the free speech rights of those whom they deem “Nazi”, “fascist”, “racist” etc etc. They think that the “lockdown” and facemask nonsense is essential, should be stricter, and will have little effect on the economy (or all those high salaries and State benefits they also want…). They love being told what to do, love the restrictions on liberty; they also (quelle surprise) love the EU.
Sadly, I am no longer on Twitter (thanks to the Jew lobby that Andrew Neil usually seems to support). Maybe someone else can tweet my views to him…

So far, the msm is promoting Indian “clever boy” Rishi Sunak for his largesse with public funds and his schemes to somehow keep large parts of the poisoned economy alive. In fact, it is telling that several Conservative Party MPs have coyly implied that Sunak would be better at being PM than irrelevant poseur Boris-idiot.
“Boris” is like a faded entertainer whose jokes are now falling flat and who, having been a major draw, is reduced to treading the boards in the provinces. While Sunak was expounding his rather underwhelming ideas and new policies in the Commons, “Boris” was inspecting police recruits at some place in East Anglia.

The SNP is a phenomenon. A faux-“nationalist” party which has succeeded in gaining power not because of its own merits but because there was nothing much opposing it.
The SNP [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party] was founded in 1934, but only had its first MP elected in 1967. It increased representation to 7, then 11, in the febrile political conditions of 1974 (also the time when North Sea Oil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea_oil came to the forefront of public attention). [it’s different now: the cost of production is higher than the price of the oil produced in 2020].
The Scottish public was sold the idea that much of Britain’s North Sea oil was really Scotland’s North Sea oil…a doubtful (though not completely implausible) proposition, looking at the geography and the Law of the Sea as it applies to Exclusive Economic Zones [EEZs]:
The Scottish seats at Westminster then numbered 71, later increased to 72 but reduced from 2005 to 59. The SNP’s 11 MPs in 1974 remained the high-water mark until the SNP’s huge breakthrough in 2015, when the SNP under Nicola Sturgeon suddenly had 56 out of those 59. In 2010, the SNP had had elected only 6 MPs.
After decline to 35 MPs in 2017, the SNP (as I predicted) surged again to 48 MPs in 2019.
In fact, the apparent landslide does not reflect the views of the public very well. FPTP voting distortion. Even in 2015, when the SNP got 56 out of 59 Westminster seats, its vote-share was no more than 50%. In 2019, that was only 45%, yet the SNP has 48 out of 59 seats.
The SNP rose up for several reasons. Firstly because “it was there”; it existed. People cannot vote for a party that does not exist.
Secondly, the Scottish Labour Party, so long dominant, collapsed after years of complacency and corruption. The name that comes to mind is that of Jim Murphy, a complete System puppet. He got his first “real job”(sort-of…working for Scottish Labour!) at the age of 30! He had been a student for 12-13 years without even managing to get a degree!
The Murphy fiasco was symptomatic of a party totally out of touch. It had thrown away “socialism” in stages after 1990; by the time Murphy became leader in 2014, Scottish Labour stood for almost nothing but the Union with England, as well as a continuation of a failed society and economy.
Scottish Labour has had three more leaders since 2015, none of which has troubled national attention.
Scottish Labour (until 1994 simply part of the —UK— Labour Party) had been first-placed in Scotland in all general elections from 1922. The party was only placed second in 2015, third in 2017 and fourth in 2019. A stunning collapse. The popular vote share fell from 42% in 2010 to 18.6% in 2019. 41 MPs out of 59 in 2010, 1 MP in 2015, briefly 7 MPs in 2017, only to fall back to 1 MP in 2019.
It might be objected that Scottish Labour can still come back. I cannot see how. Recent surveys indicate that, as with Conservative Party support in England, Scottish Labour Party voters are mostly elderly people. A diminishing asset.
In the Scottish Parliament too, Scottish Labour has steadily declined, from 56 seats out of 129 in 1999 to 24 in 2016. The SNP currently has 63 MSPs.
What about the other Scottish parties? The Scottish LibDems now have 4 Westminster MPs out of 59 (11 in 2019, and 1 in 2015); in the Scottish Parliament, another steady decline, 17 out of 129 in 1999, 5 out of 129 now (2016 election).
The Scottish Conservatives declined steadily from 1955 to 1997 (no MPs at all were elected in 1997, and the party then had only one until 2017, when 13 were elected); presently, the Conservatives hold 6 Westminster seats out of 59. The Scottish Conservatives have increased their Holyrood representation: 18 MSPs in 1999, 15 in 2011, but 31 out of 129 in 2016.
The pattern is clear overall. The SNP came up in the 2010-2015 period because the other main parties were seen as declining entities with little to offer. The SNP may now be a fake “nationalist” elected dictatorship North of the Border, and rather incompetent to boot, but there is no obvious sign of challenge as far as Westminster elections are concerned.
In England, we see that Labour has floundered, that the Conservative Party is disastrous (too) and “won” in 2019 by default, with the LibDems on their last legs, but what does not exist in England (or Wales) is any semblance of a new or insurgent and upcoming party.
In Wales, Plaid Cymru is hampered not only because it is not really “nationalist”, but because Wales would be a very very poor little land had it to pay for itself as an “independent” state. Indeed, there is every chance that the Welsh economy will submerge further in 2020 and 2021.
In England proper, there is no real social-national party at all. If one were to exist, the next few years, as the economy crashes, as Brexit is mishandled and ruined, and as mass immigration continues, could be the years of triumph.

Don’t think people fully appreciate the scale of anger and despair amongst cabinet ministers and Tory MPs over the perceived lack of leadership within No.10. Boris has a serious political problem now.
Oh, what a surprise. Not. I have been raging against Boris-idiot for about 10 or more years, on Twitter since 2011 and in this blog since late 2016. My influence as yet is small, and it has felt at times like a hopeless struggle against the msm talking heads and scribblers, who have been pushing this completely unfitted vanity machine for about two decades. In fact, the unmerited “triumph” of “Boris” shows how powerful msm propaganda is when it comes to “the moronic masses”…(cf. facemasks and “Coronavirus” fear propaganda in general).

Talking of “the moronic masses”…here we have a British population which, faced with an epidemic that, in the UK, has killed about 1 in 2,000 of the population (and worldwide, about 1 in 8,000), has allowed itself to be scared to death. The majority, or at least about half, of the population seem to want to be locked in their homes, forced to wear facemask muzzles, prevented from going out or going anywhere much, so long as the State funnels some more money their way. As Shakespeare might say, “ay, there’s the rub“, for that money is, ultimately, the resource available by reason of a functioning economy.
No economy = no money. Not immediately. The Government can borrow, and is borrowing. At present, at advantageous rates. Borrowing to invest in people and projects is often good as a policy; to borrow merely to sustain a failing range of industries and companies, or to pay people’s bills, is not a good policy, and will be disastrous in the end.

“We are able to confirm that the Metropolitan Police Service has closed its investigation due to jurisdictional issues and that we have instructed lawyers abroad to pursue this matter. When antisemites incite hatred against Jews, we will pursue them, including across borders.”
Ha ha! Fanatical UK-based Jews think that they can hound their critics worldwide! In most countries, the repressive laws of the UK are not replicated, and in some (eg USA) there are safeguards for free speech.
I start with the fact that, yes, a million people have died “of” (with) “Coronavirus” worldwide, but that is out of eight thousand million living on the Earth. In other words, one person out of every eight thousand.
The above fact indicates that what is required first of all is perspective and proportion. Those qualities are precisely those not found in the present “British” government.
The Government shut down most of our society for 5-6 months; but a society is not like something such as a washing machine or a TV set, which can be switched off at the flip of a switch, then switched on again 6 months later none the worse. It is more like a car, which if left unused for months, will probably not start up again without an external stimulus.
Now “Boris” the clown is threatening another national “lockdown”. Contrast with Sweden, which (despite a huge area with small population) is largely urban and suburban (i.e. that is where most people live), like the UK.
Sweden never had a “lockdown”, never insisted on masks, never did any of that rubbish. It did have many elderly people die in care homes. That was its mistake. However, the UK did the same, with similar results.
Now Sweden is close (I read) to “herd immunity”, whereas the countries in Europe that were harsh in having facemasks, “lockdowns” etc (e.g. Spain and the UK, among others) are still in trouble in terms of public health and have ruined their fragile economies.
I should be happy that Boris-idiot and his “Cabinet” (pack of Jews and Indians) are messing things up so royally, because that can pave the way for social nationalism when the economy crashes, unemployment soars and Britain loses whatever is left of its credibility as Brexit crashes and burns.
Two things depress that happiness: first, I hate to see what is being done to the UK, its people, its society and economy. Second, there is at present no credible social-national movement to raise the banners of social-national resurgence.
Scotland is even worse than England, under that ridiculous little tyrant, Nicola Sturgeon.
Actually, I think that many people are uneasy, to say the least, about the latest “Boris” nonsense: the “Rule of Six”, the “rule” that pubs must shut at 10 pm, and especially the idea that neighbours should spy on each other and report, like Stasi inoffizielle Mitarbeiter in the old DDR, or Russian and other Soviet секретные сотрудники of the old KGB.
The very legal validity of the “rules” is in question and may be pronounced upon by the courts soon.
Now “Boris” wants to use what little is left of the British Army to coerce the British people.
The real opposition to all this nonsense will not be brought into being by the nonsense itself though, but by the consequences of that nonsense— the tsunami of socio-economic pain gathering its power on the horizon.

Pfeffel Johnson does increasingly remind me of Leonid Brezhnev, physically present but mentally absent during the self-inflicted death of his country, propped up only by rigid adherence to a discredited dogma.
Canute did no such thing @GrumpyPete. He was a truly intelligent ruler who mocked his foolish, flattering advisers for telling him he had the power to control a coronavirus, sorry, control the tide. https://t.co/gYyoOxEK4k
This is where I part company with Peter Hitchens. Yes, many governments are incompetent (though in Europe, the “government” of Boris-idiot stands out as egregiously incompetent), but what has been happening in 2020 goes beyond mere chance and lack of proper administration.
Covid-19 Coronavirus, the facemask muzzling of the population, the “Black Lives Matter” nonsense, the constant racemixing propaganda on TV (eg. in TV ads, which have become relentless in that respect…), the hullabaloo around Greta Nut and Extinction Rebellion etc; all of that feeds into what the World Economic Forum openly calls the “Great Reset” of the world. Inter alia, “the Great Replacement”, or “White Genocide”, as provided for in the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://www.westernspring.co.uk/the-coudenhove-kalergi-plan-the-genocide-of-the-peoples-of-europe/
It is almost pitiful, watching someone I used to think clever, well-informed and amusing, making such an idiot of himself. Could we possibly have known it would be this bad? Who can now go to him and tell him it is time to resign? But it is. He is actually killing the country. https://t.co/JaaDp7op8D
It is a puzzle to me, and always has been, why so many intelligent and well-informed journalists etc thought Boris Johnson so well-equipped to bid for his present position. The few who did not think so tended to say, “Boris has the ability, but does he have the ethical standards?“, whereas I was tweeting and then blogging for years, increasingly angrily, as the idiot flew higher and higher: “WHERE, WHEN, has Boris-idiot ever shown any real ability?”
Answer came there none. Years of incompetence, inability to plan, to execute plans, to explain clearly his ideas (few and all puerile) made no difference. Of course the Jew lobby, aka Israel lobby, liked him not only because he was totally pro-Israel but because he is part-Jew himself. They pushed him in the mass media which they largely control.
“Boris” was always buoyed up by his incredible arrogant confidence. That has now been tested against reality and found wanting. Look at him now. Most of the time now, he looks either like a deflated balloon or (and my apologies for necessary profanity) like a sack of shit.
Actually @martinjrgee, I have campaigned against *compulsion* in such measures. I try to treat those who believe in their efficacy with politeness and consideration. I think there is a disproportionate fear of the virus. https://t.co/b3rkd8pz1I
My Guess is that @SirGrahamBrady MP, interviewed here https://t.co/0poQsIP0Re very recently, will have been gravely disappointed by the Brezhnev-like concrete-headed, unshifting determination to wreck the country shown by Pfeffel today.
Good point. I saw Starmer today on TV, saying what a good little prosecutor he used to be (and so, apparently, what a good Prime Minister he would make). Well, Starmer’s “USP” is basically that he is a better administrator than Boris-idiot. I suppose that he takes me with him on that. Almost anyone would be a better PM than “Boris”. Beyond that, Starmer has nothing to say.
Starmer is a puppet of the Jewish lobby. His wife, a lawyer, is Jewish; their children are being brought up as Jewish. I noticed, if I am not mistaken (I saw only a second or two before Starmer came on), that he was introduced on TV today by the notorious and half-Jewish Ruth Smeeth [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Smeeth] the former MP (2015-2019) for Stoke-on-Trent North, and an alleged “source” for intelligence officers based at the US Embassy in London (see Wikileaks).
I imagine that Ruth Smeeth is hoping that Keir Starmer will find a safe Labour seat (full of unthinking “me always vote Labour” plebs) for her.
Incidentally, Ruth Smeeth, who since 2015 has been on the Board of the (((well-funded))) “Hope not Hate” Jewish “antifascist” group, is now the Chief Executive (paid about £80,000 a year) of “Index on Censorship”. Irony is not dead…
Speaking of Wikileaks:
Thank you @gcr1068 . I am increasingly shocked by the silence of my fellow journalists about a trial whose outcome could place all of them in grave danger of state kidnap for simply doing their jobs. https://t.co/pJrphsW9J1https://t.co/xZBFND8cXM
Listening to the Prime Minister setting out his plans in the Commons, do you hear a witty, likeable intelligent person or do you hear a jobsworth quacking?
I never thought “Boris” likeable (or particularly intelligent) anyway. I have never seen much evidence of either, especially the latter.
Trying to 'defeat' or eliminate Covid-19 is ' a false and dangerous ambition' and so not a rational goal. The wise Dr John Lee rejoins the debate: https://t.co/8SGb7CpUwZ
Why does @ChtyCommission allow Zionist groups to ‘police’ UK citizens using tactics synonymous with The Cheka police. How long before ‘volunteers’ claim leather coats on expenses? Make no mistake #Chekism is alive and well just watch Joe Glasman’s video. https://t.co/zZvuGe5HWg

Wonders will never cease. I find that I am actually in agreement with “Dunce” Duncan Smith!
Sir Iain Duncan Smith says the UK has "lost the balance of how we manage risk" since coronavirus: “Getting in a car has about the same risk as getting Covid for all those in the non-risk group in terms of accidents.”
Does anyone actually think we’d be facing the same restrictions if the public sector – including MPs – had to face the same job losses and income cuts as everyone else?
UK: 111 covid triage charts. Still no sign of a surge (or curve steepening) in enquiries in the vulnerable 70+ age group; enquiries for younger cohorts decreasing now that schools are back. pic.twitter.com/ZwMagEB3gE
Pretty startling statistic from Michael Gove in the House just now: just 24% of businesses feel they’re fully prepared for the end of the transition period.
Even before the “panicdemic”, pubs were closing, we heard, at a rate of 10 per day in the UK. In the —extended— area where I live, say a 5-mile radius, I myself have noticed a number of pubs now closed, probably permanently, while others have, I understand, effectively become daytime cafes concentrating on Kaffee und Kuchen, in a bid to avoid the “rules” imposed on pubs. Apparently, those ones are busy with the elderly who make up much of the population here.
Interesting to hear Dominic Raab say that the bar curfew was taken from Belgium, where clearly it isn't really working as intended.
The spread slowed slightly, but has accelerated since.
Where is the evidence? Closing a little early will just hurt so many business owners.

Oh, and on a different topic, look (below) who has crawled out of her sewer again! Priyamvada Gopal, who wants to kill off European people, and who was promoted to full professor status by the traitors at Cambridge University after remarks to that effect. Here you see her intellectual level— pathetically poor:
It's also the same as the 'pat' in Postman Pat, cow-pat and Patricia Hodge
In Russian, there is a more “gender-neutral” word-stem, i.e. “rod”, as in “rodnoy” (m) or “rodnaya” (f), “rod” indicating “native land or place” or “land/place.city etc of birth”.
Julia asks Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab if he knows how many people in England aged under 60 without underlying health conditions have died of Covid-19 since February.
Are these people just running out of lies & losing contact with reality, or do they just enjoy selling the public ever more ridiculous nonsense?#FakeNews#lyingpresspic.twitter.com/b7NUp8w9DX
Thank you @studio_me. Please tell others. In this issue above all, *numbers* count. MPs listen when they fear they may lose their seats. Only numbers can do that. Brief. Polite. Acid: But write now *before* despotic powers are renewed on 30th September. https://t.co/MXpFRgpwmi
Hitchens’ idea, i.e. that people should write to MPs re. the present nonsense, may have some limited effect, but will not change the overall direction of this crazed government of clowns. I know what I want to have happen to most MPs, but am not able to publish it…
Actually, quite apart from the above, there would be no point in writing to “my” local MP, because he is one of the few MPs awake to the sheer nonsense of the Coronavirus “lockdowns”, facemask imposition etc, though he is otherwise a complete deadhead, as well as being a lazy useless slug…
Despotic police powers, suspended elections, bans on public gatherings. Pinochet's Chile?Erdogan's Turkey? No, it's here. Please watch this video and act on the advice, Write now, politely, briefly, firmly, in your hundreds of thousands, to your MPs. Repeal this Act. https://t.co/DJSYcb06a2
Boris-idiot’s am-dram reprise of Winston Churchill was never at all plausible, certainly not to me. Now, it becomes so absurd as to leave a sour taste. I do not think that Churchill made the right decisions in 1940-1945 (in continuing the disastrous and tragic European war) but he was a great figure in both contemporary events and in history. “Boris” is all but irrelevant as a political “leader”, and in terms of history will be a footnote, if that. As Marx said, “First time tragedy, second time farce.”
I agree with Peter. The conspiracy nuts play straight into the government’s hands.
A “conspiracy nut” may be the early stage of a tree of wisdom.
Actually, look at the facts, the way in which powerful transnational institutions have lined up in support of the climate change narrative, the “Black Lives Matter” narrative, the Coronavirus narrative…all at the same time…
Co-incidence? What about the fact that the World Economic Forum now supports the so-called “Great Reset”? This is not “conspiracy theory”; it’s happening in plain sight!
And look below at the way in which the termites are eating away at the freedom and lives of white British people. One word of criticism about the anti-white propaganda campaign being waged, and your bank wants to get rid of you:
.@MarkBrendsTweet Hi Mark. We believe in a society built on mutual respect and are committed to representing the diversity of our members.

“Diversity” = “no white people”, in the end. Racemixing and the genocide of the European peoples.
The person who tweeted from the Nationwide should be punished.
I also suggest that all white people in the UK avoid Nationwide (which does not value them and chooses to insult its customers) and, if already with Nationwide, switch to another bank.
Lammy, thick as two short planks and also extremely nasty (as well as very interested in money…).
He thinks he's being clever here, but yes, minorities are treated differently – and they should be. Functional societies need a dominant culture that overrides all others, and I don't want my people being reduced to a whining irrelevance in their own country. https://t.co/dG2HayzWiF
should not mean unconditional support of the official opposition. Corruption must be exposed wherever it is found or the same lies will continue to rule our existence.

“Socialism” in one Twitterverse
One of the most interesting aspects of the “Coronavirus” situation in the UK has been to observe the pathetic and feeble squirming of those who self-describe as “Left”, “socialist” etc., whether adherent to the shell that is the Labour Party, or otherwise.
What is the reaction of the Jewish and “antifascist” Twitterati to the closing down of civil rights in the UK? Craven obedience to Government diktat. What is the reaction of the “Labour” official Opposition? To support every measure this incompetent yet tyrannical Government of clowns has taken, except to say that themeasures should be harsher and better administered. This is not opposition, but fealty…
Actually, that weakness is good for social-nationalism. When the time comes, we can close down our enemies easily, and permanently.

Pret a Manger boss Julian Metcalfe withering re @BorisJohnson on @BBCRadio4 Wato "This man sitting down with his Union Jack talking utter nonsense…to spout off some Churchillian nonsense that we'll make it through, it's terribly unhelpful.”
Piers @piersmorgan has a second chance to ruin the economy and foul up civil society even more badly than the first time. Does he hesitate? Does he ponder, no, not he, head-first into the empty swimming pool he goes, yet again. Somebody call Albert Einstein . https://t.co/qb9DB6EfEW
Naturally, Piers Morgan does not worry about the economic damage. He gets paid millions for being a TV face. I dare say (speculating, admittedly) that some if not all is paid offshore via tax avoidance measures. He can scarcely recall what life was like before he hit lucky. If the poor and middle earners lose their jobs, well…Piers will still be on TV, raking in his life’s winnings…The same is true of all msm drones, MPs and other parasites.
