Happened to see part of a TV interview with Liz Truss, the present Foreign Secretary. Liz Truss. Foreign Secretary. Two words I never should have imagined would ever be found in the same sentence.
The impression given was that of a woman playing a record for the umpteenth time. Very unimpressive. As for her attempt to threaten Putin and his circle with sanctions of various kinds, very hollow.
The fact is that, short of initiating nuclear war, there is nothing that even the US President can do to halt an invasion of at least Eastern Ukraine, should that be Putin’s decision. Boris-idiot and Liz Truss are reduced to tweeting, appearing (unconvincingly) on Sunday morning TV shows, and funnelling arms, mainly small arms, to the Kiev government.
As for “Boris” trying to insert himself into the Ukraine situation, making telephone calls here and there, and wanting to visit Eastern Europe soon, pretty pathetic. Obviously driven by his domestic problems.
The British, “led” by Johnson, are no more than unruly spectators in the Russia-Ukraine situation.
…and don’t forget the Jew who is President of the Ukraine. So that’s both President and Prime Minister. What are the odds?
Incidentally, Wikipedia notes that Zelensky is a Jew, but not Shmyhal. Wikipedia is unreliable if there is a Jewish or Zionist aspect to anything, because Jewish “volunteers” and Israeli orgs constantly monitor the site, and make vandalistic edits.
Not that Russia is free of such “influence”:

GENOCIDE? Now 'experts' say antibiotic-resistant infections will cause more than 50,000 deaths a year in Britain? And children will die of coughs and chest infections?
How many of these will have been vaxxed the the max?

True, but the Jewish influence over the police is more disturbing, because the police have allowed themselves to become an uncritical battering-ram for Jew-Zionist extremists, the latter having wormed their way into positions of influence all over the UK.
What a disgusting useless creature Andrew Windsor (“formerly known as Prince”) is! Where would he be without the title and inherited wealth? At best, a junior naval officer, now retired; more likely, something like a small and unsuccessful businessman.
I can see literally nothing positive about that bastard.
Oh, and no, I do not think that his being more or less a spectator in the Falklands campaign for 3 weeks, 40 years ago, makes any difference.

These people are very misled. I hope that any invasion can be swiftly and successfully concluded, with minimal civilian casualties (including any Ukrainian version of “Dad’s Army“).

When I look at this government, I despise most of its ministers, and that goes for most Conservative Party MPs as well, but when my gaze turns to what is left of the Labour Party, I find that I despise them too, not only Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer, and not only the deadheads such as Dawn Butler and David Lammy, but also the would-be tyrants such as Yvette Cooper and Rachel Reeves. In fact, I dislike them even more.
Looking at that Daily Mail analysis, looks as if many voters agree with me, moving from Con to “Neither”, in effect.
If only there were a credible social-national party, but none exists.

These terrible stories make me wonder what the Western or NATO allies —basically the Americans— were doing in Afghanistan for 20 years. The same poverty and backwardness that has been there for decades, if not forever, at least in the provinces.
I remember talking to a couple (actually a woman; her husband was a dour unfriendly fellow who seemed to dislike me, and tended to sit glowering at me) at the inn, in a Devonshire village, where I often stayed when in the UK 2006-2009. They had seen Kabul for a few weeks, maybe longer, in the 1970s. It was OK for Westerners then. Interesting to hear their account.
[Kabul, Afghanistan, 1960s; tourists in a park]
[Kabul, 1960s. A record store]
[Kabul, 1960s]
[Kabul, 1960s]
[Kabul, 1960s; possibly by the University]
For twenty years, the “West” was in Afghanistan, in force, and bankrolled the Karzai regime. What is left? Almost nothing. What should have been done was to rule directly, or very closely with suitable puppet rulers, and to impose a less-backward culture on the country, for its own good.
Readers of my blog will be unaware that, nearly 6 months ago, an individual closely-connected to the fake “charity” known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] made a malicious and unwarranted complaint to the police about me.
I shall not mention today the name of the guilty individual, nor those of his half-dozen or so most-guilty accomplices.
In the heat of summer, on my birthday at that, two local uniformed police arrived at my door, and informed me that ********** (a serial complainer to police, as I knew but they, probably, did not) had accused me of “racial harassment”.
After a brief discussion —slightly heated, certainly exasperated, on my side— the police agreed to email me with details of when I might, on a date of my choosing, be willing to attend the local police station.
I arranged for a London solicitor known to me to be in attendance remotely, via telephone, but on the agreed day of the interview (about a week later) there was a communications problem, so the interview was rescheduled.
Three weeks or so after the police had arrived (entirely unnecessarily) at my door, I attended the (so-called) “voluntary” interview at the new and bijou local police station, set in a quiet location away from the nearest road. A hot and sunny Saturday, and early evening.
So quiet, in terms of crime, is the local town, that the new police station is rather hidden away, and one has to press a button to ask to be let in.
The young policeman (well, when you are 65, as I now am, they all look young!) who had come to my door, and a female colleague, interviewed me on both audio and video tape (pursuant to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act [PACE] 1984,
I had prepared (and already emailed) a quite long statement about the situation as I saw it, i.e. the 9 years of attempts by dishonest and malicious Jew-Zionists to have me, inter alia, expelled from Twitter, disbarred, questioned by police, arrested, prosecuted, tried, convicted, and imprisoned.
The Jew-Zionists also managed to have me expelled from Twitter (in 2018, via a concerted conspiratorial campaign which took them about 6 years).
The said pack, or connected packs, have also had me questioned a few times now by the police (twice under caution), but I have never been arrested, never been charged or summonsed, never been prosecuted, never been tried, never been convicted, and never been imprisoned.
As we know, “they” can be relentless in their vindictive pursuit, as written about by none other than William Shakespeare, and the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” crowed mightily, after satirical singer Alison Chabloz was imprisoned, that it had taken the “CAA” 5 years “to get her“.
That evil pack will no doubt make further attempts to use “lawfare” (as they call it) to attack British people such as me, people standing up for Britain and for European civilization. They will continue to fail, most of the time.
Reverting to that police interview, though, it started off with some rather odd questions. I was asked when I last had had a drink! This was not their way of offering me a cold beer on a very hot day, but I have no idea whether that is now a standard police question in the era of the nanny-state, or whether I looked intoxicated!
I thought about it for a second, before answering that I had had a glass of cognac— about a week previously. That answer made both of them laugh, as I explained that I do not drink a great deal these days.
Another odd question was as to whether I had ever been in the Army, by which I assumed they meant the British Army (rather than the Salvation Army, Church Army, Barmy Army, or the Foreign Legion etc) . I replied, truthfully, that I had never held any commission, nor any enlisted rank, in the Army, though I had spent the odd day, and the odd weekend, as a kind of visitor, on British Army bases (in the 1970s and late 1980s).
I have to admit that the police were polite, even pleasant, and of course they were “only following orders” by asking about that absurd accusation of harassment.
After a few more questions (mostly as to whether I had any medical conditions), we started the interview proper. I read into the record my two-page statement. My throat was dry after the first page. The woman police person (are they still called “WPCs”?—maybe not) very kindly offered me a mug of water, and brought it.
A few questions followed, mostly answered with “no comment”, and that was that. I was informed that I would not be placed under arrest, or charged there and then, but that the statement would be sent to other (unspecified) persons —I assumed to another part of the country, and/or the Crown Prosecution Service [CPS]— who would decide whether the matter would be taken further.
I parted from the police on an amicable basis, and briefly considered pocketing the now-empty “Prevent” mug as a souvenir and trophy, but thought better of it.
That, however, was not the end of the affair.
Some of my readers, perhaps especially any legal people, may ask why I made a statement at all, rather than just no-commenting. That is usually good advice (and is what the London solicitor had advised), but I decided to detail a number of matters going beyond the fact that there was no actual evidence of “racial” (or any other form of) harassment by me in relation to ********* (the guilty party…) and his pack. If you like, I decided to let rip and give the pack of bastards both barrels (metaphorically).
True, in the absence of any evidence that there had been any “harassment” in the first place, I could have, perhaps should have, in effect said, simply, “prove it“, but my decision was both tactical and also me wanting to put the record straight about those criminal CAA bastards.
Weeks passed. Months passed. Nothing happened, and I began to assume that the matter had been dropped but without formal notification, as had happened on a previous occasion, in 2017, when the same bastards, typically, had thought to kick me when I was down (soon after my wrongful and unlawful disbarment), and via another malicious complaint, that time under the notorious “bad law” known as Communications Act 2003, s.127.
That complaint had been to tame (((occupied))) police at Grays, Essex. (my blog post about that 2017 complaint against me can be found via the search box on this blog).
Well, just when I thought that it was safe to go back in the water, the local police sent me a letter. So creaking is Britain’s infrastructure now that it took 11 days to reach me (in the same area, only about 2 miles away, at that)! The decision had (it seemed, though nothing was written directly) still not been made to drop what was a ridiculous “case” that should never have been taken seriously by the police (in another part of the country, I believe) in the first place.
That was it. Forget both barrels. Think nuclear strike. I dropped a —metaphorical— strategic nuclear bomb. Within 24 hours, I had received email notification that the CPS had decided that no further action would be taken against me on the complaint by ********** and that I would receive no further contact about it.
In other words, ********** can slither away again now. I would suggest that he gets better legal advice next time.
[Update, 20 August 2023: Further to the above, I can now say that, though I was not arrested, still less convicted of anything by reason of the malicious complaints of the “CAA” cabal, I have now been summonsed. A postal summons arrived through the letterbox at my home address in March 2023, alleging breach of the “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127, i.e. it is alleged that five (5) posts on this blog (from 2020 to 2022) were “grossly offensive“.
I appeared in Court on a date in May 2023, pleading Not Guilty to all five counts. A further brief hearing took place in June 2023. Trial is now set down for 1.5 days in late November 2023. I shall represent myself despite being eligible for a solicitor and Counsel via Legal Aid.
I have every expectation of acquittal on those charges. In fact, the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (which the Law Commission has recommended should be repealed) is soon going to be superseded anyway by the Online Safety Bill presently before Parliament. I may be the last person charged under Communications Act 2003, s.127.
I shall not be blogging further in detail about the case until after the trial. I can say, though, that whatever happens at trial, this blog will continue to be published as if nothing at all had happened.]
So there it is. After about 20 months of nonsense, I was convicted under the bad law Communications Act 2003, s.127, and sentenced to a “community order”, i.e. probation, of 9 months’ duration, to include 15 “rehabilitation days”, and to pay £734.
Well, a third of the financial penalty was crowdfunded, and the “rehabilitation days” were before too long waived after I had done a few (and also a few meetings that, for opaque reasons, did not count as “rehabilitation” days), though each “day” turned out to be far less than a day, indeed far less than half a day: almost all were less than 1 hour, and a couple only lasted 20 minutes. Mostly chats, but with a bit of armchair psychology thrown in. Actually, I rather liked my probation officer, a very polite and pleasant young woman.
Once again, I managed to trump political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 7/10, but I trumped that with 9/10. I did not know the answer to question 5. I felt that the questions were a shade easier than usual this week.
Dame Maureen Lipman has sparked a "Jewface" row by criticising the casting of actress Dame Helen Mirren as Israeli prime minister Golda Meir in the film Golda because she is not Jewish. https://t.co/KbOMtBwXN5
It’s a one-way street: Jews can play non-Jew roles, but non-Jews cannot play Jewish roles. Typical Jewish attitude. Oh, and you find that the most vocal voices shrieking about how blacks can play English roles (even historical roles such as Anne Boleyn) are those of Jews, who also say that English people cannot or should not play black roles, using “blackface” (examples would include Othello and such as the Black and White Minstrels), despite those being traditions going back, in origo, centuries.
The hypocrisy of Zionist gobshite Maureen Lipman
Just two weeks ago she complained about ‘cancel culture’
Two weeks later, Lipman wants to cancel Helen Mirren playing the role of former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in an upcoming film – because she isn’t Jewish pic.twitter.com/Q4P7cm8mAj
The Maureen Lipman intervention reminds me of this absolute cracker from @WestminsterWag, probably one of my favourite ever tweets. https://t.co/L0psYn0dbN
Not the first time Maureen Lipman has made an absolute arse of herself
Back in 2014, she withdrew her support for Labour for 'the first time ever' [this was in response to the party announcing it would recognise Palestine]
Reminds me of the time (read about in that excellent biography, Just the One) when booze-consumption champion Jeffrey Bernard, reduced to serving drinks behind a bar, listens for too long to a young actress telling everyone about a part she had landed, then snarling —as the young woman leaves— “Off home, are you? Off home to learn your line?“…
Maureen Lipman also seems to have only one line, saying that she will leave the UK, and then go to Israel or the USA if [fill in demand]. Unfortunately she is still here.
When Veit Harlan played the eponymous Jud Suss (The Jew Suss) in the acclaimed 1940 costume drama (there was an earlier version, from 1934), set in the 18th Century and based on real historical events, he had so many hostile letters that he had to put notices in newspapers saying that he was not really a Jew! See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veit_Harlan for more about Harlan.
The film is available for purchase via some of the smaller online retailers: https://ihffilm.com/22935.html. The Jewish lobby has “cancelled” Jud Suss on the main platforms, and it is not, needless to say, ever broadcast by any mainstream TV stations.
The film, in essence, shows how a Jewish cabal, and in particular one Jew, infiltrates into the 18thC society of the kingdom of Baden-Wurttemberg, doing corrupt deals and buying influence. Rather topical in the UK of the present-day, especially with the kefuffle around “cash for honours” sleaze, and the New York trial about the Epstein/Maxwell case…
And who's going to do the educating? Maureen Lipman? The Board of Deputies? 🤣 Time to give up that game.
Jewish groups are very active in trying to shut down free speech, not least where the speech in question exposes Jewish behaviour. I myself have been one of “their” prime targets for years, despite the fact that I do not belong to any party or group.
I covered this yesterday, and previously. Part of an attempt in several countries now to marginalize and criminalize dissidents generally, not only “the unvaccinated”. Once the microchipping takes off, you will see.
Next stop? Microchipping of the bulk of the population and, very likely, the gradual elimination of cash as legal tender. Then a dissident will easily be able to be barred from political office, election candidature, professions, jobs, even buying food. There will be no outright mandate to be microchipped but (as with Internet, mobile telephones, debit cards etc), life will just become very inconvenient and eventually almost impossible without it. Then the individual will be trackable 24/7, worldwide.
Not that everyone will be tracked and targeted (except when required); you can forget about 90%, maybe even 99%, of the population. In Nineteen Eighty-Four, the “proles” were free to drink, have sexual liaisons, play the lottery…only the few in the Outer party and Inner party were under total control…
The virus “panicdemic” is a medium-to-serious (but not existential) public health problem, possibly spread deliberately, which however leaves alive (in the UK) about 999 out of 1,000 people infected, and the recent variants probably 9,999 out of 10,000.
The whole Covid thing has been weaponized for reasons of creating a global fake “biosecurity” police state.
At first, for the first week or two of the contrived “crisis”, in early 2020, I myself was open to the idea that this was a kind of “Black Death” in terms of seriousness. Unlike most people, I woke up or understood the reality within a few weeks. At least half of the UK population have been conditioned into a kind of mass hypnotism over the past 2 years.
Well, if the “antifa” cheerleaders are attacking PA, it must be doing something right…
I myself do not belong to any party or group, though I try to be supportive, in a small way, of worthy individuals and groups, via this blog. Were my circumstances and those in the country different, I would establish my own movement; not yet at least.
It’s never “raise concern” or the like, but always “fury“…
“The BBC has demanded that teenagers who suffered anti-Semitic abuse in Oxford Street should reveal their identities before the corporation responds to a legal complaint over its report suggesting victims used ‘anti-Muslim slurs’.
The claim was criticised by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism and lawyers acting on behalf of the victims, who ‘categorically deny’ the slur was said, wrote to the corporation to contest it.
In response, the BBC said: ‘We will be unable to substantively further progress your legal complaint until you identify your clients.‘
Leading legal expert Lord Carlile said the BBC’s demand was ‘wholly unacceptable’, while Jonathan Turner, executive director of UK Lawyers for Israel, accused the corporation of ‘attempting to intimidate the youngsters into dropping the claim’, the Jewish Chronicle reported.” Daily Mail].
“Leading legal expert Lord Carlile”— Jewish.
“Jonathan Turner…of UK Lawyers for Israel”— Jewish.
“Campaign Against Antisemitism”— a handful of well-funded Jews (posing as an important organization) and who are fanatically pro-Israel, and fanatically trying to, inter alia, take away the freedom of expression of British people.
As a matter of fact, I have not seen any msm or even social media comment raising the point that the young Jews in question made a special journey in a chartered bus in order to engage in Jewish-supremacist ritual singing and dancing on the pavement in Oxford Street, the very heart of London.
Look at that; and at 10 Downing Street before Christmas there was, not a Christmas tree but a Jewish religious candlestick lit and placed in the window. What’s going on?…
Mostly, it is the white women not having children (with white fathers), and the blacks and browns proliferating. Only a European —or post-European based on European— future is worth having.
Boyfriend, 35, who killed girlfriend's unborn baby is jailed for life – so, finally, someone gets serious time for doing what abortionists do every day. https://t.co/OJmOKoQkFk
Yes, only the start…to be followed in a while by microchipping almost everyone. Those who refuse will be under effective house arrest, not only in Canada, but all across the Western world.
No-one wants innovation to stop, but it really is unacceptable for any one individual to control (“own”) more than a billion pounds. In fact, I would put the maximum at a hundred million.
Would young inventors and/or “entrepreneurs” be discouraged from inventing or working because they might end up with “net worth” of a mere £100,000,000? I doubt it.
In fact, society should look at an income cap too, perhaps somewhere around £500,000 (after tax).
Further, there should be a limit on the amount of land any one individual or company can hold.

EVERYONE should listen to @jimgeraghty’s nomination for most under-reported story of the year. Covid almost certainly came from a Wuhan lab and China covered it up. It’s truly the “crime of the century”. https://t.co/1PoY1zqefj
The former SIS Chief, Sir Richard Dearlove, suggested something similar last year but seems to have been shut down.
The “West” seems to be afraid of confronting not even China itself, but the very idea that China may have, even if only accidentally, released the virus. At root, the “Western” leaders do not want to have to confront China itself, because that would mean having to punish China. Punishing China would not be easy (whether the punishment were military or economic), would damage the West itself, and might lead to ferocious retaliation.

MPs and ministers who are now floating the idea of mandatory “vaccination” injections for the whole, or the vast bulk of, the UK population, are effectively State terrorists. If they succeed in passing laws or regulations of that sort, they must be prepared to face the consequences.
While we were not exactly on the same ideological page, and I knew nothing about her beyond what she tweeted, she often supported me online in years past, and sometimes retweeted my tweets (until a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018).
I have seen hundreds of supportive tweets about her this morning, the testimonials only marred by a few unpleasant tweets by two or three fanatical Jew-Zionists (anonymous, hiding under rocks, as usual). They have even attacked, via insults on Twitter, her grieving sister and family. “They” really have no decency, and that comes out constantly; they cannot disguise it. Ingrained…
I learned on twitter that Maureen Fitzsimmons has passed away. I hope all the good that Maureen cast unto the world with her tweets motivated clearly by social justice will return as warmth and love to wrap around those who will no doubt miss her.

Regular readers of the blog will know that I was never very favourable to Corbyn. Poorly-educated, not hugely intelligent, and not a defender of Western (i.e. European, or European-origined) civilization. His worship of the blacks and browns was particularly absurd, as was his Meccano-level political canon and understanding (“No pasaran!“, “Cable Street” etc).
According to his ex-wives, he never reads a book, a trait he shares with the part-Jew, part-Levantine poseur presently occupying the office of Prime Minister.
Corbyn was never really or properly “anti-Semitic” either, despite the claims made by the Jewish or Zionist lobby. He always paid lip-service to the “holocaust” farrago, for example. Also, while he may have opposed Jewish/Zionist exploitation in Israel, he never came out and opposed it vocally in the UK, France, or elsewhere (eg USA). Weak.
Corbyn was let down by most of his MPs, not least “near-beer” post-Stalinist John McDonnell, someone who “thought he could be king” only to find that he was a political mugged pensioner.
Having said that, Corbyn was conspired against from the start by an Israeli and UK Jewish cabal; as soon as he became Labour Party leader. His only chance was to go all-out for social nationalism, but he was personally incapable, constitutionally, of doing that.
In fact, the tweet I have reposted above makes good points. The fault lay not with Corbyn but with Labour, and its whole ethos and raison d’etre in a post-Thatcher and, more significantly, post-1989 world, where old-style socialism, in all forms, has died (unless you include a few odd enclaves such as North Korea).
Keir Starmer, the Jewish-lobby’s favourite, and now puppet-leader of Labour, is only level with, or ahead of, the present idiot Prime Minister because that idiot is simply not fit for his office. That has impacted the opinion polling vis a vis the two main System parties.
All the same, look at the Labour vote in recent by-elections: North Shropshire— 10%; Chesham and Amersham— 1.6%.
My view is that, if the Conservative Party ditches Boris-idiot in 2022, then it will overhaul fake “Labour” easily, so long as the new PM is a white man (or woman).
Starmer has nothing to say except “Labour supports most of what the Conservatives are doing, but the Government should be doing more of it, and better, while down on one knee to the blacks [actually to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan conspiracy] and also wearing a facemask.”
More societal craziness
Just saw a series of tweets by some crazed Jew, to the effect that non-Jews playing Jewish roles in film is “antisemitic” and should be decried as inadmissible “Jew-face”, just as it is becoming the politically-correct standard now that non-blacks (i.e. Europeans or European-race people) should not play black roles, because that is inadmissible “blackface”, even when it has hundreds of years of cultural provenance, as with Othello, the Moor of Venice. (and does that mean that only North Africans should play Othello? He is not a black African, after all). What nonsense it all is!
What about Jews playing non-Jews (Europeans)? Apparently that is OK…; also OK (it seems) is when a black plays a European (i.e. white) role. Even Anne Boleyn was recently played by a black woman, American at that!
The double standard again. The Great Replacement. White Genocide. Oh, and I bet that, with almost all of that, there is a Jew behind it…(if I am wrong, send me the details, i.e. evidence, and I shall update this part of the blog; I shall not be anxiously waiting, though).
Some film and video with “blackface”:
An actor playing Othello, the Moor of Venice, becomes obsessed. The full film:
Below, the Black and White Minstrels (UK, 1960s/1970s), harmless mass entertainment now considered (by the “woke”) wickedly “racist”…:
Below, black “Anne Boleyn” (not), with a black courtier to boot!
Is black “Anne Boleyn” (and all those Grantchester and Endeavour episodes where half the population of towns and villages in 1950s or 1960s England is black or brown) “racist”, or “cultural appropriation” (as well as presenting a false picture)? You decide. Take a look (((what))) is behind most of it.

“The fact that we both have a Jewish heritage in our blood, it probably enabled me to feel that kindred, bone ancestral feeling."

Ah, so it is OK for a Jew to have a “kindred, bone ancestral feeling“, but not white Northern Europeans? Are there a few of our people beginning to awake? I hope so…
For God’s sake, anyone reading this and who has never heard of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan— Google it, and read about it.
I have not had any “vaccine” for “Covid” or anything else connected with the “panicdemic”, and will not be having anything. Any attempt to compel me to do so will be taken by me as a declaration of war by the State and its agents upon the citizen (in this case, me). Anyone enabling or facilitating such an attack will be considered as guilty. I apprehend that many echo my sentiments and my resolve.
Oh, and meanwhile…Labour Friends of Israel drone, Lucy Powell, has not only been urging censorship of dissident views online in respect of the “panicdemic”, but also (quelle surprise) in respect of so-called “antisemitism””:
More on our calls this morning. 👇Urgent action is needed to stop the spread of vaccine lies online: the platforms need to stop the content going viral and new legislation is urgently required to create a regulator with teeth. It’s now a matter or life and death. https://t.co/N61jadtvvH
Yet Lucy Powell claims to be interested in “the civil liberties of everyone“. Oh, really? Needless to say, she has never said a word in defence of (inter alia) me, Alison Chabloz, David Icke, Katie Hopkins, and all the thousands of others facing attack (often from the Jewish lobby), expelled from Twitter, and/or losing jobs and professions etc.
This is Lucy Powell:
“In September 2018, Powell introduced legislation in the House of Commons to ban secret, private, invite-only groups on Facebook and hold moderators legally responsible for hate speech or defamation on forums.[26][27] She is a member of Labour Friends of Israel.[28]” [Wikipedia] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Powell.
Labour has to be reduced to rubble, even if at the cost of continuing this stupid government of incompetence.
Amazing compilation. Ecce the wonderful medical “experts” and scientists!
Were there any true satire left on UK or other Anglosphere TV, this would bring the house down; instead we have BBC “house-serfs” such as Paul Merton, Ian Hislop etc, all laughing at what they are allowed to laugh at, just like the old Soviet “satirical” magazine, Krokodil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krokodil
Essentially, the System allows the (well-paid/bought) “comics”, the Hislops, the Mertons, the Jimmy Carrs, the Al Murrays, to laugh at white people, “anti-vaxx” people, people wanting to stop mass immigration; they are very certainly not allowed to laugh at Jews, blacks, most browns, facemask zealots, pro-vaccine obsessives etc.
We are at least in the forecourt of a police state, but one posing (for now) as a caring, sharing, rainbow-“nation” state.
Personal picture
I saw for the first time in years this picture of me aged 10-11, sometime in 1967. Middle Harbour school, Mosman (Sydney, NSW). (the “5R” refers to year 5 and the name of the schoolmaster, Mr. Riddle).
54 years ago. I still recall the Christian names or surnames of a few of them, and a few details about them. Incidentally, I am the rather confident-looking little fellow in the second row up, third from the right, with striped tie, arms folded.
The black girl in the centre was an Aboriginal who spent part of the year at the school, and part with her family in the Northern Territory, thousands of miles away; some kind of Federal government integration programme.
I wonder how life turned out for them all…

Wishing all well-intentioned readers of my blog a happy 2022.
It is good, occasionally, to elevate oneself above the matters of the day, and to consider wider questions. I was just looking at an article I wrote for the blog a couple of years ago. I think that it is worth reading, not least because it has been one of the least-read blog posts I have written since the blog started in late 2016.
[“Professor Luckhurst tried to calm the students who gawped at him as he educated them on free speech at universities“— Peter Hitchens in the Daily Mail. Quelle surprise…look at them…Chinese etc…he may as well have been talking in a language unknown to them, and the same, sadly, seems to be true of many of the British students]
Some of the Hitchens article:
“I am – for the moment – one of the luckier ones. But I do not expect it to last for ever. I can see that, for most people, true free speech has ceased to exist.
Step outside the borders of acceptable thought in a school or a workplace and you can very quickly find yourself being denounced and in serious trouble.
On some issues, such as the transgender controversy, it is virtually impossible to say anything without attracting the attention of the Thought Police.
In workplaces, from fire stations to schools, everything must conform with ‘Equality and Diversity’. This is in fact the law of the land. Where trade unions still exist, they support the new speech codes and will not defend you. So most people wisely do not risk it.
Among millions, the idea that you can defend someone’s right to say something you disagree with is now puzzling. They have no idea why anyone would do that. For them, the debate is over, they have won, and those who oppose them are stupid and wrong.
The whole concept of tolerance has almost died in this generation, as far as I can see.” [Peter Hitchens, in the Daily Mail].
As Hitchens says, many have no understanding of, let alone any wish to defend, free speech or freedom of expression. The image below shows it quite well:
[not Durham University, though it might as well be…]
I might add that I have never once seen Peter Hitchens speak out to defend my free speech rights, as for example when I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred for having tweeted 5 tweets, all of which were true, such as calling Michael Gove an expenses cheat, pro-Jew and pro-Israel (I did not know at the time that Gove —who is still a Cabinet minister!— was, and is still, also a cocaine abuser and a drunk).
No, not one word has Hitchens said to defend my free speech rights. It cannot be said that his failure was or is because I am merely a private citizen living in obscurity; after all, most of the national newspapers featured my disbarment (in 2016). The Daily Mail gave my “case” a whole page. I was also featured on Sky News.
Neither have Hitchens, nor Toby Young, nor the “Free Speech Union” ever supported those known to me who have suffered actual prosecution and imprisonment for exercizing free speech. People such as Alison Chabloz (who sang satirical songs about Zionists and “holocaust” fakery, and posted them online), and Jez Turner (who made a humorous speech in Whitehall, urging the removal of Jews from the UK).
Now we come to the nub of the matter. While the Durham University incident was not linked directly to the Jew-Zionist lobby, most other attacks on free speech in the UK are. In the UK, the Jewish/Zionist lobby is the greatest enemy of free speech.
There is no point complaining about the symptom without expressly identifying and understanding the (((source))) of the problem.
Finally, how ironic that the Daily Mail is “not allowing comments” by its readers on Hitchens’ articles…
[note: my definition of “free speech” or “freedom of expression” would be “unrestricted expression on matters social, political, racial, scientific, artistic, and historical”].
“She believes Ms Maxwell will be found guilty. ‘Ghislaine enabled Jeffrey to do what he did,’ she says. ‘I believe she is evil. She’s a narcissist who thinks she has done nothing wrong. To her, we were nothing. I hope justice is done…’I pray justice will be done in court,’ she says, ‘but I am a very spiritual person and I believe whatever happens, Ghislaine will burn in hell for all eternity“. [a named Epstein/Maxwell victim, speaking to the Daily Mail].
Epstein has already gone “up the chimney”. How long until “Maxwell” follows?
Getting rid of the native language, or at least denigrating it and putting it on the same level as immigrant's languages, is a strategic way to destroy cultural cohesion and national identity. This isn't an accident.

Millions are waking up to the reality of the “panicdemic” but millions more are behaving (as they have for nearly two years) as sheep, or as scared rabbits if you like, wearing masks to show obedience to the System.
There is an answer to this repression of white Northern Europeans (especially but not exclusively men), but the intensifying repression in the UK means that I cannot express that answer.
Will that new virus also —like “Covid-19”— have mysterious Oriental (Chinese) origins, and will it also —like “Covid-19”— be released deliberately in Alpine ski resorts, where it can be incubated easily, and from where it can be spread fast over Western and Central Europe?
Not the best film ever, though, despite a stellar cast including Ava Gardner (for my money the most glamorous and beautiful of the Hollywood stars).
Andrew Neil is a superb political interviewer, but at the same time is totally part of the System msm, giving —to me at least— the impression of being totally tied-up with the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, as witness some of his televised rants over recent years.

Londoners are frustrated by police not taking crimes such as theft, burglaries and arson “seriously” and may end up acting as vigilantes, City Hall has been told.
Not just in London. This is a problem in the UK generally. Well, after all, the public cannot expect the police to use their limited resources on ordinary crime and disorder when they have to prioritize malicious complaints of “antisemitism” (which is in fact not even a crime) made by Jew-Zionist orgs such as the fake “charities” “Campaign Against AntiSemitism” [“CAA”] and “Community Security Trust” [CST”].
The police know that “somewhere, a ‘crime’ is being committed“, and somewhere, someone might be mentioning Jews critically, or even saying something about the cross-Channel migration-invasion.
When the #fakenews media howl about the unvaccinated being admitted to hospital at a high rate, here's what they're hiding from you: They don't test the vaxxed! Lies, damn lies and #BigPharma-media- government complex statistics!https://t.co/7hOvmXD5IQ
…and, inter alia, “put the unworthy on TV, and set up as an ideal, and get the moronic masses fascinated in the tidal wave of “celebrity” and “reality” (pseudo-reality) trash“…including drug-abusing “soap” stars, cretinous pop stars, and anyone in any field who is non-white.
Also, “make sure that every TV ad shows non-white persons only, or mainly, and/or or mixed-race children; make sure that white people are either absent, or just an insignificant add-on, with the exception of blonde white women portrayed as wives and girlfriends of blacks“…
“Boris”-idiot is now talking about drug abuse, while his own Cabinet contains drug abusers such as Michael Gove! When I was disbarred (in fact unlawfully, and at the instigation of the Jew lobby) in 2016, one of the 5 (yes, just 5, in the end) tweets that sank me was that describing Gove as “a pro-Israel, pro-Jew, expenses cheat“.
All true, but (as we know), where justified criticism of Jews and their puppets is concerned, truth is no defence… I was unaware at the time that Gove was (and is) also both a drunk and a cocaine abuser. In fact, one hears rumours that he has a few “other” secrets in the closet as well, but whether that is so, I do not —as yet— know.

MELBOURN – Construction worker protests against mandatory vax have been going on for two days. They blocked the main highway in both directions today. pic.twitter.com/48aOcOkOPf
Almost exactly the same story as that of my late mother-in-law: admitted to hospital at age 98 or 99, in 2020, with a fracture of the foot; negative for “Covid” at first, but while in hospital, after about 2 weeks, tested positive (i.e. was infected with the virus in one of the NHS’s shambolic and unclean hospitals). No symptoms either before or after the test. Discharged after another week or two, still without symptoms. Died of other causes several months later.
Had she died within 28 days of the last test, my late mother-in-law would have become yet another “Covid” statistic, another faked victim not of “Covid” but of System lies.
We are now seeing untold billions wasted on supposed “vaccines” and “boosters” re. the latest “variant” which so far has killed, in the UK, precisely no-one. Madness. Planned madness…
Meanwhile, the NHS is, at best, a skeleton service, having become a facade “national Covid service”.
I myself had occasion yesterday, though not on my own account, to visit the local medical centre, about a mile or two away.
In normal times, the centre, a pleasant two-storey building with creeper and flowers growing on the outside, is fairly busy. There are about 8 GPs. Now, GPs are apparently rarely seen by patients, and nurses dealing with ongoing routine conditions are seen strictly by appointment made by letter (in this case, 2 months before).
The medical centre reception area was deserted except for a masked receptionist. There was not one patient waiting in the large waiting area. I was there for about 35 minutes, in which time only one patient arrived, and then another just as I left.
That waiting area had been denuded of some of the furniture formerly there, and most of the pleasant large potted plants as well. Rather sad.
I do not recall Michael Buerk standing up or speaking up for my rights when a pack of Jews instigated my contrived disbarment (6 years after I had ceased Bar practice!): see
…and neither have any BBC talking heads, or the Daily Mail, or Laurence Fox, or Toby Young, or the “Free Speech Union”, made any comment on my (by now) widely-read account of when —effectively— the same pack of Jews made a malicious and false complaint to tame Essex police about me: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/. One of a number of such complaints made about me over the past decade by essentially the same pack, incidentally.
If Michael Buerk is worried about the ending of free speech in the UK, he is at least 25 years out of date, and arguably 50.
Needless to say, neither the Daily Mail nor Michael Buerk (nor the rest) identify the main driver of the repression of free speech in the UK— the embedded Jew-Zionist element.

So if Scotland achieves faux “Independence”, it will rely mainly on Scotch whisky, agriculture, and tourism? It will, however, lose its subsidies from the UK (i.e. England). The poor Scots used to emigrate to the lands of the Empire, or to the USA; but now?

I was going to add something about Brenton Tarrant, but the repression of free speech in the UK is now such that a degree of self-censorship afflicts even me…
Anyone who has visited an NHS hospital in the past 18 months (as I have, several times, as a specially-permitted visitor) must have noticed that hospitals have been largely empty, the few staff almost unoccupied. There are, probably, exceptions to my impression(s), perhaps in a few large cities, but I have seen what I have seen.
When confronted with the total hypocrisy of private jets and 50-vehicle motorcades for oligarchs and imperialists attending a "climate change" conference predicated on demonizing a carbon gas "emergency"… this is how a socialist responds: "Did you expect them to walk?" https://t.co/LYJ1smgpDipic.twitter.com/IYrXr1oyJM
The pseudo-socialists on Twitter are just me-too idiots, whose only aim is to “deplatform” those with whose views and ideas they disapprove. No ideas about society, except that everything would, they imagine, be much better if advanced white societies were flooded even more by the backward and unpleasant from the black/brown areas of the Earth. They are basically “useful idiots” for those pushing the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.
In fact, there is a need to depopulate, but the devil is in the detail. What is needed now is for the European populations to stay pretty much at their present levels, but for there to be a large-scale diminution of the non-European populations.
They changed the definition of case. They changed the definition of infection. They changed the definition of herd immunity. They changed the definition of vaccine. And they wonder why so many people are suspicious that something odd is going on.
Ecce, the complete unreality of the pseudo-socialist Twitterati. Wales as an independent country? It never has been, unless you count its prehistoric origins: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wales#History.
Wales is small (the same size as New Jersey, at about 8,000 square miles), and has three million people. Its resources traditionally lay in sub-surface minerals and rocks: coal, slate etc, now not hugely valuable or competitive internationally.
The agricultural sector relies on subsidy, much of Welsh agriculture consisting of uneconomic hill farms.
Tourism exists, mainly in some coastal towns but also elsewhere.
An independent Wales would be a very poor little state.
Aaron Bastani’s tweet, above, seems to envisage an independent socialist Wales. It seems to me that Wales is better off as part of the UK. After all, without UK (English) subsidy, Wales would have little money to subsidize its farming sector, the coal mines are merely historical now (and part of the “heritage tourism” trade), the slate mines still exist here and there but are hardly the basis for statehood’s necessary income, and tourism could not bear the financial load of true “statehood”. What else is there? Not much, I think.
In my view, a truly independent and socialist Wales would be as poor as North Korea after a while. An extreme view? Not really. How would the Welsh Government fund hospitals, schools, and so on?
Not that it could not be done. Will is all. If the 3,000,000 people resident in Wales (many of them now English) were to vote for real independence, they could make it work, up to a point. Why not? However, they would have to accept living standards far below even the modest ones now existent.
A good example of the political, or social, or ideological cover the “Covid” “panicdemic”/”scamdemic” gives to political apparatchiki. Had those “Abos” been detained for any other reason, or under any other excuse, the pseudo-socialists, “human rights” bods etc, even the msm talking heads, would have been outraged and up in arms against it. Not this time, because…”Covid”…the magic word that quells all opposition.

That is what the msm serve up to the watching populace as a “discussion”, with the presenter, Vine, advocating that the government use “snitches“, fines, prison, “spot checks” of documents etc to repress those who defy “vaccination” with useless fake vaccines.
At least the DDR [East Germany] did not seriously pretend to have “civil rights”…
When the Hungarian Uprising occurred in 1956, those most closely involved with the repression of the population (secret policemen etc) were caught, and some of them suffered the supreme penalty at the hands of the rebels.
Britain was once proud of its civil rights. Even during WW2, when rights were partly suspended, few openly called for the introduction of a complete police state…yet here now in the UK, we see mediocre System msm mouthpieces openly calling for a system of secret informers, denunciation of neighbours and family members, authoritarian police presence on the streets and checking “papers”, and “volunteer co-workers” helping the State to keep the population repressed.
All that, notionally, for suppression of a virus which has (supposedly) killed about ONE in every FOUR THOUSAND people in the world (1 in 1,000 in the UK)…
A little Ostalgie?

I have not been to the Imperial War Museum since the mid-1980s when I was frequently in the vicinity. Since then, the IWM has, I believe, given over a large area to a permanent “holocaust” propaganda display. Once you start purveying that kind of ahistorical fakery, there is no going back, and you end up inviting a taxpayer-funded (why?) bunch of cretins to shout out “anti-racist” (in reality, anti-White and anti-British) black “rap”-crap on Remembrance Day.
The Daily Mail, of course, completely tied in with the Jewish lobby, would never make the connection…
In fact, the nonsense reported on is but part of the frenzied racemixing and anti-European agenda now being promoted everywhere— in TV drama, TV ads, across all msm platforms. The very significant year 2022 is fast approaching, the next key year in the 33-year cycle, and with it the agenda of the transnational conspiracy usually abbreviated to NWO/ZOG.
Not that I favour Churchill’s misconceived and evil war against the German Reich, of course, but I doubt that the rap-crap mentioned that.
Incidentally, imagine the (much greater) furore if a “rap” or other group had launched, at that museum, a satirical or other attack on the baleful influence of Jews or, indeed, blacks, at some point in history. That’s right, neither of those would happen. Then ask yourself why…

I cannot read the names on the U.S. military document below, but some persons without military rank are suggesting destruction of the structure. Probably Jews; who else, arguably, would make such a vandalistic suggestion? “…most offensive” and “dangerous“? Typical language, also arguably. We see the same terms used by the Zionists in 2021 Britain.
In the UK, Jews are at the forefront of the free speech battle, constantly trying to use “lawfare” and undue influence to shut down free speech, in particular any mention of Jews that is not laudatory, as well as any critical examination of their history and behaviour.
I have already blogged to the effect that only a massive window-breaking event (“Kristalltag“?) in Vienna, and soon, might wake up the Austrian people before the biosecurity police state’s grip tightens yet again.
Do you remember the Wuhan videos of people dropping dead? Same strategy to scare and demoralise. Austria is a psyops.
The System will say anything, and apparently do anything, to get enmeshed in Eastern Europe. Remember 1939 (or at least remember reading about it)? The governments of Britain and France gave the government of Poland a worthless guarantee, that is that Britain and France would come to the aid of Poland were it to be attacked.
Well, we know what happened. Germany did attack, and that triggered declarations of war against Germany by Britain and France, but —crucially— no troops or ships were sent to aid Poland. None.
The British and French governments used Germany’s invasion as an excuse to declare war, but Poland was left to sink or swim. It sank, partly because the Soviet Union also invaded, scarcely opposed, from the East. Britain and France did not declare war against the Soviet Union. Poland had no chance. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Poland; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Poland.
The upshot of the above is that Britain did not help Poland and —again crucially— never could have done. Neither Britain nor France could have opposed the massive forces of the German Reich and the Soviet Union, yet it was the worthless joint guarantee which (together with the refusal by Churchill to conclude armistice in 1940, after the Fall of France) condemned much of Europe to years of war.
Surely the “British” government is not about to repeat in some farcical form its mistakes of 1938 and 1939? NATO is becoming aggressive in the East.
War with Russia could trigger a massive conflagration in which, inter alia, the UK might be almost entirely destroyed.

Incidentally, I often wondered, when Mason was on TV regularly, and when he posted on Twitter, why he is so venomously against social-nationalism. I discovered that he is part-Jew. That may account for it.

“Stay behind” units in 1940: an historical note
The Second World War, with its complexities, nuances, twists and turns, and ideological subtleties, is endlessly fascinating. I happened to see a local newspaper story about part of Churchill’s idea of how to “fight on the beaches, fight on the landing-grounds” etc.
Churchill, though a genuinely world-historical figure, unlike Boris Johnson (who tries to ape his style and manner), does have a few characteristics in common with his latter-day copier. One is that he was largely ineffective as head of government when given his head; also, he was a person with, often, very silly ideas. Churchill was no good as a strategist; as for tactics, his ideas were really straight out of boys’ comic books.
The Norway operation in 1940; the British Expeditionary Force in France, also in 1940 (my own grandfather was on the Dunkirk beaches), the idea of invading France via the Cote-d’Azur in 1944, the Fall of France, the Fall of Greece (including Crete), and so on, give some idea of Churchill’s lack of strategic nous.
Stay-behind units were organized, with the idea that they might not last more than 12 days after any German “reverse D-Day”.
It was presumed that German invasion forces would strike initially at the London area:
“Operation Sealion, Hitler’s plan to invade across the Channel, almost saw the German 6th Army land at Lyme Regis in 1940 and push inland to Bristol and Gloucester.
Meanwhile the 9th and 16th Armies were to attack from Portsmouth to Dover, sweeping northwards to capture London and East Anglia, Britain’s breadbasket.” [DorsetLive].
Despite the chilling ruthlessness of their remit, the “Auxiliary Units” had a delightfully Wodehousian aspect:
“Grouped into “operational patrols” of four to eight men, AU members needed excellent local knowledge – making gamekeepers and poachers ideal candidates.
But known members of local patrols include bakers, carpenters, car salesmen, dairy farmers, electricians, fishmongers, miners and train drivers.
“The staff of Charborough Park – a country house estate now belonging to South Dorset MP Richard Drax – were also formed into an AU patrol.
The chauffeurs, foresters, gamekeeper and gardener of Sir Reginald Aylmer Ranfurly Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax, Mr Drax’s grandfather, moonlighted as would-be saboteurs and assassins.” [DorsetLive].
One almost expects Sir Roderick Spode (a parody of Sir Oswald Mosley) to make an appearance, with a slight ideological twist, perhaps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roderick_Spode.
There were, it seems, about 6,500 volunteers in such “stay behind” units, most of whom were organized around the southern and eastern coasts of England.
As for the conventional forces defending, “The Germans put the British defences at 320,000 men, with machine gun nests positioned 300 yards from the coastline, artillery guns 1,000 yards inland and another line of artillery and machine gun nests 3,000 yards back.
A line of more than 600 armoured cars and tanks were said to have been positioned two miles inland and a reserve of 50,000 men a further two miles back.” [The Argus].
In fact, Operation Sealion was not a ready to roll plan such as had been Fall Gelb, “Case Yellow” (or “Operation Yellow”), the plan for the invasion of France [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manstein_Plan]. Sealion was called Unternehmen Seelöwe, not “Fall Seelöwe“.
My German is poorer than it should be (bearing in mind that I did take German at school, and I did also have a couple of crash courses later, when I was in my twenties), but the difference in designation seems to be that one plan was ready-to-go, while the other was somewhere between that and a contingency plan.
It is known that Hitler wanted Britain, and the British Empire, as an ally against the expansionism of both the Soviet Union and the U.S.A. His preference in 1940 was for an armistice, not for conquest by invasion.
Apart from Hitler’s preference for alliance, there were operational reasons why Sealion never proceeded: lack of total air superiority was one, but another perhaps more important was the lack of carrying capacity by sea of the German navy. There were not enough barges to carry the armies required, and not enough defence for those barges.
If, however, the invasion had happened, “[the Auxiliary Units]…would disappear to their OB, wait for the Germans to go over the top of them and attack the rear...”
“Patrols would attack bridges, convoys, fuel dumps and so on, breaking the supply chain and holding up the advance of the blitzkrieg, giving the regular army time to regroup and counterattack.”
“Equipped with suppressed sniper’s rifles, the fighters would also be expected to assassinate anyone who might expose their underground operations.
“Patrols would take out collaborators as well as local policemen and intelligence officers – innocent men, killed just for knowing their identities…”
“Anyone who stumbled across their OB would also be killed. And if a patrol member was injured and couldn’t get back the OB, they were obligated to shoot him...”
“Their life expectancy was just 12 short days – with orders to kill each other and themselves if capture by the enemy seemed imminent.” [DorsetLive]
There were, then, two underlying assumptions or, better said, hopes, on the part of the Auxiliary Units: the first was that the units would survive for 12-14 days; the second was that the main British forces would be able to mount a successful counterattack.
As to whether the stay-behind fighters could survive for 14 days, my assessment is that they could do so easily if they did nothing or very little; once they started to shoot people and blow things up, it would be a different story.
The Germans might not have been able to do much to repress any stay-behind activity in the first confused days following invasion, but once those early days had passed, the Feldgendarmerie and SS would rather rapidly have started to arrest or kill suspects.
It is remarkable that the British plans included the assassination, on a default basis, of British police and Army personnel, or local residents, who knew of their existence! That might soon have backfired, with other such people helping the Germans to eliminate such ruthless persons hiding in their neighbourhoods. We shall never know. What we can be fairly sure about is that the Auxiliary Units would have had little impact on the eventual result, in big-picture terms.
As for the Auxiliary Units as the basis for a possible “British Resistance”, impossible. Limited stocks of weaponry and ammunition, no help from external sources, and the German security grip tightening steadily.
Could British home forces have defeated a German invasion force, had it landed in the numbers suggested? Doubtful. For one thing, the projected German force was to have been 600,000 after a few days; the defending forces would have numbered under 400,000.
Secondly, the quality of German tanks, light weapons etc outmatched the British; the same was true of the fitness of German troops. Red Cross reports of the period (from France) noted that British soldiers captured were often undernourished, stunted, with poor teeth and poor fitness, a result of the social conditions prevalent in the UK in the 1920s and 1930s. The German prisoners taken by the British were found to be, almost universally, in a good state of health and fitness, the result of, mainly, 7 years of National Socialist government.
Another point is that the German forces will mostly have seen action in Poland or France, whereas the British home forces were mostly without recent battle experience.
It is true that large wargames (a major one took place at Sandhurst in 1974) have generally resulted in German defeat following a 1940 invasion of Britain, but those results were based on destruction of much of the invasion force at sea, and failure to execute the invasion plan with sufficient boldness. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sea_Lion_(wargame).
History is full of examples of invasions that should have failed, but did not. Alexander’s invasion of the Persian Empire, and William of Normandy’s 1066 invasion of England, are but two. Indeed, Hitler’s own experiences in 1939-41 (Norway, France, Poland, the Soviet Union, Greece, Yugoslavia etc show that boldness can bring victory even in unlikely circumstances. Rommel’s victories in North Africa were usually achieved against the odds.
It can certainly be argued that Hitler should have pressed on in 1940, even in circumstances of high risk. Britain would have quickly folded, and then, under new political leadership, found a new role, with the Empire, as a “dual-rulership” of much of the Earth, in collaboration with the German Reich.
On those premises, huge destruction and misery would have been avoided, both in the 1940s and thereafter. The world would have been a far better place now, had that happened.
As to the results further down the line, had a German invasion succeeded, one has to say that, in some ways, perhaps most ways, Britain itself might have been —80 years on— better for it. There would have been no migration-invasion by blacks and browns, and no Jewish-Zionist exploitation. Services such as the NHS would have been available earlier and better.
Incidentally, a German victory in 1940 would not have meant long-term German occupation, certainly not after a few years, and not necessarily a harsh one. The main aim, for Hitler, would have been disarmament or control of the British Army, navy and air force.
Hitler’s preferred ruler of Britain, we now know, was none other than Lloyd George! The Security Service, MI5, was well aware of this, and monitored him closely.
“Lloyd George was consistently pro-German after 1923,[169] in part due to his growing conviction that Germany had been treated unfairly at Versailles. He supported German demands for territorial concessions and recognition of its “great power” status; he paid much less attention to the security concerns of France, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Belgium.
[170]In a speech in 1933, he warned that if Adolf Hitler were overthrown Communism would replace him in Germany.[171] In August 1934, he insisted Germany could not wage war, and assured European nations that there would be no risk of war during the next ten years.[172]
In September 1936, he visited Germany to talk with Hitler. Hitler said he was pleased to have met “the man who won the war”; Lloyd George was moved, and called Hitler “the greatest living German”.[166]: 247 Lloyd George also visited Germany’s public works programmes and was impressed. On his return to Britain, he wrote an article for the Daily Express praising Hitler and stating: “The Germans have definitely made up their minds never to quarrel with us again.“[166]: 248
He believed Hitler was “the George Washington of Germany”; that he was rearming Germany for defence and not for offensive war; that a war between Germany and the Soviet Union would not happen for at least ten years; that Hitler admired the British and wanted their friendship but that there was no British leadership to exploit this.” [Wikipedia].
Well, in the trite but true expression, “man proposes but God disposes”…
Strange. My memory tells me precisely the reverse, as far as the years up to 2010 are concerned. It is a complex picture, but I recall a country where things were OK (speaking very very generally) until 1997 (I was mostly out of the UK that exact year, though), one where a gradual “communitarian” police statism started to develop under Blair and Brown, and one in which (and here I do agree with the tweeter) there was a catastrophic decline in standards from…well, the tweeter says 2010 (i.e. when Cameron-Levita and his clique became the Government), but I think earlier, maybe from 2005 or so (under Gordon Brown).
I recall returning to the UK from France in 2009, having not been here for a year (I had been spending half my time in France since 2005, and was also in a number of other countries during 2005-2010), and noticing the social darkness that had already descended, a year before David Cameron-Levita became Prime Minister.
The (Pakistani?) tweeter is obviously a simplistic Labour Party partisan, who thinks in unsophisticated ways: Labour government 1997— good, Conservative government 2010— bad. If only life were that simple.
Ah. Just looked him up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahir_Shah. Not Pakistani, but Indian Muslim (born in the UK), and a comedian. Britain may be short of housing, energy, water, good jobs, a decent and working society generally, and good government, but we shall never, it seems, run out of comedians. Sometimes there seem to be thousands of them, though few I have seen or heard (on TV or radio) are actually very comic.

£50,000 p.a. for being “office manager” of an office with few if any other employees? Bob Blackman is the Jewish-lobby puppet always acting as mouthpiece for Israel. One of such puppets, anyway.
The journalist, author and social commentator @toadmeister Young, who has championed the importance of freedom of speech has won the 2021 Contrarian Prize #cprizepic.twitter.com/en3cg401kJ
“…championed the importance of freedom of speech“? Not one word from Young about how I was disbarred (wrongfully and actually unlawfully) at the instigation of a certain pack of Jews, some of whom still try (though vainly) to persecute me. Not a word about the persecution and prosecution, by the same pack of Jews, of the singer-satirist Alison Chabloz, who has now actually done time in prison for mocking “holocaust” fakery and hoaxes (fakery almost all done by Jews). Not a word about the fact that Jez Turner, of the now-defunct London Forum, was imprisoned for simply making a speech in Whitehall urging the removal of Jews from the UK.
Now I wonder whether there is a common theme about those cases when Toby Young and the “Free Speech Union” stayed guiltily silent?…
In 2004-2005, for nearly two years, I lived in a farmhouse in the constituency, near Milton Abbot (6 miles NW of Tavistock), having moved out of Polapit Tamar House, 8 miles away across the Tamar in Cornwall (a lovely place then, though since I lived there split up into numerous dwelling units, and currently on sale for £7M).
Geoffrey Cox became MP for Torridge and West Devon in 2005, but at that time I was too busy trying to make a living at the Bar to take any notice of System politics, certainly did not vote, and was unaware, I think, even of the bastard’s name.
We do not have to consider the almost-ubiquitous “holocaust” fakery, hoaxes, or “memories” which simply could not have happened, to understand that human memory often cannot be relied upon. Ignorance of fact can also play a role.
I have just seen a tweet in which the tweeter reminisces about his school trip to the Soviet Union in 1984 or 1985. The trip apparently consisted of a week in Leningrad and a week in Moscow.
Inter alia, the tweeter concerned tweets that he visited the Hermitage (in Leningrad), and walked on the surface of the frozen Volga…
Well, I suppose that the above memory could be accurate, but probably is not. Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) is on the river Neva; Moscow is on the Moscow river or Moskva.
The Volga has a quite convoluted course, and at its nearest to Moscow is only about 85 miles away, at the meeting-place of the Volga with the Moskva-Volga Canal (aka Moscow Canal): https://factsanddetails.com/russia/Places/sub9_9a/entry-7029.html. It goes nowhere very near St. Petersburg.

The Moscow river is a tributary of the river Oka, which is in turn a tributary of the river Volga.
The upshot of the above is that the tweet I saw could be accurate but quite likely is not. The tweeter probably walked on the frozen Neva, or perhaps the Moskva, or the Moskva-Volga Canal.
Memory cannot always be relied upon. My own memory is (I have found) better than that of almost anyone else I have ever met, but is still occasionally inaccurate.
Talking of memories of Russia, I saw another tweet today, which contained a picture of the interior of the GUM complex near Red Square. Marble floors, clean, redolent of luxury.
I first saw GUM in 1993, when most of the shop units were empty, the (then white) marble floors containing wide cracks in places, and a snack bar in the area on the ground floor was doing a good trade in open sandwiches (red caviar on buttered white bread); I had one myself, I think.
When I returned to Moscow in 2007, all changed. Tan marble, everything clean and tidy, and the shops were all occupied; they included Thomas Pink, Armani etc. Not very busy, perhaps because it was a weekday and early evening, or perhaps because of the high prices. In 1993, it was also not busy, though then because there was rather little to buy. I believe that, in Soviet days, GUM was always packed, as was the toy shop Detsky Mir (“Children’s World”) next door (with access then from GUM as well as from the street). In 1993, I wandered in from GUM, out of curiosity. The few outsized soft toys were charged at extortionate prices. Oddly, or perhaps not, no children and few adults there.
For a moment, I thought that he must have done something really bad, like identifying a Jew as Jewish, but on reflection, that would have required the participation of the “Anti-Terrorist Command”, I suppose…
