@lelllel1. It is certainly the case that the use of steroids, along with the use of some antidepressants and of course marijuana is often found in perpetrators of such violent acts. The problem is that the authorities are uninterested, and do not research or record this. https://t.co/GBpCmexLjz
I notice that the said Jewish scribbler, Jennifer Rubin, is an “opinion writer” at the Washington Post. She is also pro-“Covid-19” vaccination, pro-the facemask nonsense, pro children being forced to be masked in class, pro- forced vaccination for schoolteachers, pro-abortion, pro the doomed multikulti society, anti-white and, of course, pro-“intervention” in other countries (i.e. pro-NWO, ZOG, and Israel). She seems to tick all the boxes.
That is how (((Court News))) sees fit to report on an appeal which has in fact not yet come to an end. I think that the, er, orientation of “Court News” is clear (and has been for some time).
Seems that “Court News” needs more information (or less bias)…

Moldova
Moldavia, as was. Whatever people say about Belarus, or Lukashenko, the fact is that Belarus would now be exactly like Moldova, had Lukashenko opened Belarus up to finance-capitalism, Jew carpetbaggers, fraudsters, etc.

On the larger scale, we have Russia itself. Yeltsin and his finance-capitalist thievery and chaos was replaced by Putin, who whatever his flaws has at least created the basis for a better future.
Alison Chabloz
Latest news is that Alison’s appeal, at Southwark Crown Court, has failed.
It will be recalled, by those who have read yesterday’s blog post, that one of the two magistrates who flank the presiding Circuit judge at such an appeal had to be removed when it came to light that he had actually been a trustee of a Jewish “charity” to do with the Anne Frank “diary”.
It seems, on the face of it, incredible that such a person could be allotted such an appeal, bearing in mind the subject matter and the defendant!
Well, there it is. The appeal proceeded, with only two of the usual three members sitting.
According to a source thought reliable, the presiding judge today expressed the view that the sentence passed by the lower court on Alison was “lenient”; a very strange idea of leniency, bearing in mind that the sentence passed had been 18 weeks’ imprisonment out of a maximum of 6 months (i.e. c.26 weeks).
The usual practice in a case of this sort (where only a small increase of sentence can be handed down) is to remand the defendant on bail to reappear for sentence on (in this case) Monday 16 August. Alison, however, has been remanded in custody over the weekend.
The presiding judge is, apparently, “minded” to pass a further custodial sentence on Monday, though that sentence will be short. In fact, even were the maximum sentence (6 months) to be passed, she could expect to be released at the halfway point, and Alison has already done about 2 months in prison, so she might only serve 3 weeks or so.
I have to say that this looks more like (further) persecution rather than unbiased justice.
Another interesting fact: “To the surprise of everyone in court, including the judge and the prosecutor, the representative of the Probation Service after making enquiries informed the judge that access to Alison’s probation file is restricted and higher authority will be required to view it. No doubt this very strange circumstance will catch the interest of the conspiracy theorists. It is on any view a very odd thing.” [from a reliable source].
That, apparently, was why the judge did not pass sentence immediately.
Well, the fanatical Jew-Zionist element will be rubbing its hands tonight, but whatever happens on Monday, Alison will be out of prison within a few weeks at the latest. There also remains a slight possibility (perhaps very slight) that she will not be imprisoned on Monday.

No…those of us who recall how quickly the Taliban advanced in 1996 are not so taken by surprise.
Reports from usually-reliable sources say that one of the two magistrates who usually flank the Circuit judge at such an appeal was discovered to be, or to have been, on the board of some “holocaust” “charity” concerned with the so-called Anne Frank “diary”! That magistrate was then removed from the appeal hearing.
I shall report the result when it has been declared, presumably tomorrow sometime.

The police are now “too busy” (in their own minds, “too important”) to deal with the real crimes that matter to most people, just as most nurses are too busy or too important to deal with basic cleanliness of hospitals, (so cleaning has been outsourced to useless private companies).
The police, infested by Common Purpose etc, now seem more interested in censoring online or other opinion, and acting as a poundland KGB.

With gathering speed and completeness, a total revolution in thought and morals is taking hold of Western societies, just at the moment when they should be girding themselves against pressure to become more like China.
The zero-Covid fanatics, ready to throttle our society in pursuit of an illusion of perfect safety, have greatly benefited from this. And in the weeks to come the zealots of man-made global warming will press their dogmatic agenda and their demands that we impoverish ourselves to save the planet (demands China refuses to follow).
If all this had happened in a few weeks, while Red Guards slouched on street corners and the leaders of the old regime were dragged off to the firing squad, we’d see it for what it is. But, as long as there are enough loo-rolls in the supermarket, and the electricity keeps flowing, most people will never notice the revolution raging all around them.” [Peter Hitchens, in the Mail on Sunday].
Hitchens’ column this week is also worth reading for comment about both the ever-shrinking British naval reach, and the facemask nonsense.
GB News
I have still not watched the doomed GB News “controlled opposition” TV station. I have watched a few clips on Twitter. Today I saw another grovelling interview of a character from the malicious Jew-Zionist pressure group and fake “charity” calling itself “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. This time it was CAA “Chief Executive” Gideon Falter.
The interviewer was one Michelle Dewberry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Dewberry], described (I think rather kindly) by Wikipedia as “businesswoman, politician, presenter, and media personality.“
The “businesswoman” bit seems to be based on two small businesses started 15-20 years ago, both of which seem to have bombed, though information seems limited.
As for “politician”, that seems to be founded on her two unsuccessful attempts to be elected as MP (once as Independent, once for Brexit Party).
As interviewer, I thought her grovellingly unwilling to challenge Falter. Other impressions? Semi-coherent, biased in presentation, and actually rather dull.
I do not suppose that Michelle Dewberry will find life tough once this TV station (pretending to be a media outlet for dissidence) collapses: she has a rather wealthy boyfriend [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Jordan#Personal_life].
How long before GB News does collapse? At a guess, 6-12 months.
[Update, 7 August 2022: seems that I was premature in predicting that GB News would disappear within 12 months. It is still around, though I myself have still not seen it even once.
GB News’ most recent filed profit/loss, only up to May 2021, shows a loss of £2.7M.

While I hear what Nick Griffin says, I think that it is wrong to kick someone who is down, particularly on these facts, and particularly when the individual concerned has been targeted by both the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] fake “charity” and the collusive NWO/ZOG police state.
Where I tend to agree with Griffin, if that is part of his point, is that broadcasting podcasts etc has only a limited utility because podcasts etc have only a limited reach. I myself had not heard of the defendant concerned until his arrest some months ago. I had not heard any of his material.
If I, someone interested in political and dissident matters, had heard nothing of that defendant (not even his name), how many members of the public generally will have heard of the man or his material? Few, it seems to me.
Of course, it is wrong that the defendant was ever prosecuted, and the sentence (for expressing opinions) savage (akin to what might happen in jurisdictions such as Belarus).
Freedom of expression on social, political and historical topics should be absolute. It is good news that the Law Commission has recommended the repeal of the very bad law known as Communications Act 2003, s.127, but that has not happened yet. Meanwhile, other repressive laws may soon be enacted, and the Zionist lobby continues its evil and malicious activity.
As I have frequently blogged, the self-describing “Left” (pseudo-socialist tendency) has nothing to say any more; nothing to say at all about ways to improve society, nothing to say to the British people. All that such one-time rebels and would-be revolutionaries now have is a farrago of nonsense based around “anti-racism”, “anti-sexism” and “anti-fascism”.
The result of the above is that their biggest joy is to see someone, labelled “Nazi” or “fascist”, “deplatformed”, i.e. expelled from Twitter or Facebook, or (best of all) sacked from a job or a professional status. To that end, the “socialists” laud to the skies the titans of contemporary capitalism: Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook etc, and loudly proclaim that the “deplatformed” have no right of appeal, because such organizations are private-enterprise bodies with “terms and conditions of service” that cannot be appealed against…
How pathetic is that?! The one-time world-shaking “socialists” etc have just become serfs of the New World Order and its mega-capitalism…
In some countries, at some times, a fraudster and exploiter of that sort would have been taken down, either by the State, or by others. Not now, not in 2021 Britain. Predatory criminals of that sort think (with reason) that they can get away with it. They are right. They can. So far.

The world now needs only about 10% of its present population. That 10% should be entirely, or largely, composed of white Northern Europeans. That will provide a foundation for the future evolution of humanity, including, most importantly, the evolution of consciousness.
I have not watched GB News as such, but today saw an interview via Twitter. The interviewee was the sinister Jew-Zionist, Stephen Silverman, “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the fake “charity” known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”.
The interview on GB News was not so much an interview, more the presenters allowing Silverman to make a long and dull statement whining about how Twitter had seen through the fake CAA “charity” and had then binned the CAA as a “partner organization” re. issues around supposed “antisemitism”.
Silverman also (as usual) promoted the idea that there should be even more repression of free speech in the UK.
At the end of the “interview”, the Halligan person thanked Silverman for coming on to the show, and expressed how welcome he was at GB News.
I suppose that the Halligan person was unaware that Silverman was (despite having hidden his identity behind fake names and multiple Twitter accounts) actually exposed in open court a few years ago as one of several connected Jewish-Zionist trolls, all connected with the CAA, and who harassed several people (mainly women) online as well as offline, e.g. by making false and malicious complaint to various police forces about people, some of whom (see my experience above) were actually asked to “voluntary” interviews with police before the matters were dropped.
As for Gloria de Piero, a typical “put a beggar on a horse and he/she rides it to death” careerist chancer, typical of Blair/Brown “Labour”.
I read, in the msm and elsewhere, that GB News is so lacking in viewers that some shows are at statistical zero in terms of audience or viewership. It seems to be another typical front for Jew-Zionism and the NWO, posing (sometimes) as a “free speech” and “conservative” TV station. It’s a fake. Bin it.

It would be interesting to know why Jews are almost all (apparently) in favour of facemask use. They probably think that it is because they are (in their own opinion) more intelligent than non-Jews, but experience has taught me and others a different lesson.

When the cross-Channel migration-invasion started in earnest a few years ago, even I was slightly sceptical at the idea that the Royal Navy, Border Force etc were “providing a shuttle service” for these unwanted guests. No longer. The conspiracy has become impossible to ignore.
If, every single day, dozens and often hundreds of migrant-invaders set to sea from the Channel coasts of France, knowing that they will probably be “intercepted” a few miles off the French coast and then brought to the UK, they are not people unexpectedly caught out at sea; they are migrant-invaders, and the Royal Navy, Border Force, RNLI and others are not only providing what amounts to a shuttle service but are part of an enormous scam in which the victims are the British people and their children’s futures.
The RNLI should never be in a position of picking up illegal immigrants from the English Channel. The Royal Navy should be patrolling and intercepting the dinghies and simply towing them all back to France.
This comment 100%. It's fine to criticise the way that the RNLI is operating in the English channel to help facilitate a problem that the French authorities are also facilitating. Stop these illegal migrants leaving the safety of France and the RNLI won't have to 'rescue' them. https://t.co/Nye74ODZ07

Exactly. I have seen it even in my limited sphere of influence.
First, the Jew-Zionist lobby attacked my Amazon UK reviews (I was in the top 50 of reviewers, out of millions). One or two obsessed (and pseudonymous, of course) Jews started to troll my reviews (all of them), from about 2010, by leaving comments about me being “antisemitic” etc. Then they got the Jewish Chronicle interested. It wrote about my reviews and pressured Amazon UK until Amazon deleted a third of my reviews (not selectively, just at random). Finally, by 2018, my remaining reviews were hidden from view.
At the same time, my reviews on Amazon USA were simply expunged suddenly. No appeal, no rights. So much for the Jew-dominated “land of freedom”…
On Twitter, a small cabal of Zionist Jews, clustered in the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] finally managed to have me expelled in 2018. They had already, in early 2017, made malicious complaint against me to the police in South Essex (where their would-be “enforcer”, Steven Silverman, lives): see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/.
[erratum: an earlier draft had “Silverman” as “Slitherman”. Still, if the cap fits, I suppose!].
Previously, in 2014, similar and connected Jews (a large degree of overlap), calling themselves “UK Lawyers for Israel” (UKLFI), and including the self-publicizing “reputation specialist”, “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (the official complaint was made under the signature of a Jew QC), had made a complaint against me to the Bar Standards Board: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/. That resulted, in late 2016, in my being (wrongfully, and indeed unlawfully) disbarred, some 8 years after I had actually ceased Bar practice.
This activity (and “they” themselves) constitute the largest single problem that the UK has. Infestation. Destruction of all freedom of expression on socio-political and historical topics.
The enemies of free speech should seriously consider what might happen if all, or effectively all, dissident speech or publication is effectively forbidden.

Strange, nicht wahr? A virus suddenly appears “from nowhere” and is said to have suddenly manifested at a “wet market” of live and dead wild and domesticated animals in the large city of Wuhan, in China. There just happens to be a Chinese biological and virus research laboratory there. It also just happens that the USA and possibly Israel are involved and/or have given large amounts of funding to that laboratory.
More: the Chinese scientists and doctors who did not stick with the approved narrative about the appearance of “Covid-19” have all disappeared.
More: the virus manifested in Wuhan, yes, but then suddenly appeared in Alpine resorts in Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the very places from where it could spread most rapidly across Western Europe.
Was it an accident that the virus suddenly moved from Wuhan to the Alps?
From an ordinary perspective, that might be true, but in terms of NWO/ZOG, the “Great Reset” etc, from the point of view of the ruling circles of the West, the WTO, the Bilderbergers etc, there might well be a good reason to spread not only a dangerous virus (albeit not quite as dangerous as presented) but also fear across the world.
As soon as the news of the (supposedly) deadly and world-shattering virus was headlined in the UK, several (fictional) films about viruses were shown on different channels, for several nights running. This was not in response to the news about “Coronavirus” but had been in the schedules for weeks or even months. How did that happen? Accident? Co-incidence? Synchronicity? Or was it conspiracy? Was it all planned?
“On 16 May 2016, Dearlove gave a public lecture televised by the BBC on contemporary mass foreign migration and its effects upon the European continent.
In its text he stated that the governments of Europe were facing a “sea change” in their politics, and if they did not get control and prevent ongoing mass migration of peoples from Africa and Asia into Europe they would find themselves “at the mercy of a populist uprising, … which is already stirring,” and that the oncoming 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum was the first manifestation of it.[26]
He stated further that foreign mass migration’s geopolitical impact upon Europe, if it was not prevented, was set to reshape its political landscape as those of its citizens who feel their interests are threatened asserted their influence.”
The ruling circles of the West (aka “the international conspiracy/consensus”, or “the System”) preferred the UK to remain part of the EU, because they think in terms of blocs of power. The EU controlled the UK and the other nations of Europe and was tightening that control. Having said that, a managed, controlled Brexit did not seriously threaten that matrix, because it just pulled the UK closer to the equally NWO/ZOG USA. They win either way. That’s their thinking.
Good grief! “Becca Hutson”? Who she? An ignorant and stupid woman, obviously. She seems to imagine that, for example, the “resources” taken out of the ground in, say, Africa, should have been left there (where the natives knew not even of their existence, let alone what to do with them).
Ah. This is her: https://www.gbnews.uk/bio/rebecca-hutson. She is “Head of Digital” apparently, for that doomed “alt-right” GB News channel. I have never watched it, and from what I have seen on Twitter, shall never bother. Will it even exist this time next year? Doubtful.

What do you have to lose @not_humphrey? Mass abstention is the only serious power individuals have. Governments and parties have no legitimacy if nobody votes for them. So why, if we dislike them as much as we say, do we give them that legitimacy? https://t.co/cxsGavgwrL
Hitchens sometimes lives in the ivory tower. Yes, abstaining from voting may deprive a political party from having “legitimacy” (so long as everyone abstains) but that would not, even in that extreme scenario, deprive that party from having and exercising power, at least not so long as one voter votes, or a small number vote. In the end, a corrupt electoral system can either be reformed by the reasoned consent of the ruling cliques (as in the UK in the 1830s, with the Reform Acts et seq.) or, failing that, by physical overthrow…
It did not take Twitter long to wake up to the persistent and malicious “reporting” and denouncing (to Twitter, to professional regulatory bodies, to police etc) by the “CAA” goblins, once it saw them at close quarters…
Exactly. Just as happened months ago to my mother-in-law, who was routinely and frequently tested when in hospital with a fracture, and then found (assuming that the test was accurate) to have “the virus” after she had been in the hospital for weeks. No symptoms, either before the test or after it. She was eventually discharged, never having had any symptoms. Her age at the time? 99! Oh, and had she died (from any cause) within 28 days of discharge, she too would have “died within 28 days of a positive Covid-19 test” and would have been pressed into service as part of the statistical scam around the “panicdemic”.
Talking about the “panicdemic”, I visited a Tesco supermarket today, about 6 miles from my home. Most of the shoppers were “rabbits” (masked serfs), but there was a sizeable minority (including me) maskless. No-one (whether “rabbit” or Tesco staff) said a word to me in criticism, though I saw that Tesco employees almost all were muzzled (with completely pointless, useless, cloth masks). Probably told by managers to wear them.

Egregious political chancer George Galloway saying that he is not “antisemitic” because, inter alia, when he was working undercover as a pro-ANC agent in South Africa in the 1980s, Jews were those who provided him with cars, overnight accommodation (and cash?) etc.
At that time, Galloway was General Secretary of War on Want, a supposed charity partly funded (then, though not now, I think) by the British taxpayer. It gets EU monies as well.
Galloway got into trouble over his expenses. He was cleared of actually stealing (embezzling), apparently, but all the same had to repay nearly £2,000 (worth maybe £10,000-£20,000 now). He never sued over allegations in the Daily Mirror that he had been enjoying “a life of luxury” at the expense of War on Want’s donors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway#War_on_Want.
The point Nick Griffin is making, and justly so, is that Jews are always behind any attacks on white Northern European culture and politics. There they were in South Africa, the Jews, making money, living in large numbers in the most expensive parts of Cape Town and Johannesburg (to the extent that white people in Africa used to call “Jo’burg”, “Jewburg“!), yet at the same time undermining the whole foundation of that society.
Now look at the UK, France, Germany, Scandinavia, USA, Canada, Australia etc…
As for Galloway, how pathetic is it that he, and many like him who are self-describing “Left” or “socialist” types, oppose Jewish hegemony and supremacism in Palestine, yet pay lip-service to Jews and the Jewish “community” in the UK, France etc? Truly pathetic.
On the pseudo-nationalist side of UK politics (as in the USA) you get people, especially those trying to make a living out of their activities, who loudly proclaim their (usually unwanted) allegiance to the Jews and Israel: Katie Hopkins, Breitbart, “Prison Planet” Watson, “Tommy Robinson” (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), Anne Marie Waters, Jayda Fransen, “Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin) and others.
Politically-speaking, and in fact usually in general, foolish people. They are political nullities, dependent for their income —and such prominence as they have— on their social media profile. If that is taken away, they have nothing left.

Before the political midgets currently “ruling” the UK “defy” China in the South China Sea, they should take a look (Wikipedia has overviews) at the relative strengths of the Royal Navy of the UK, as against the Chinese navy. Britain has about 2 or 3 dozen large ships and submarines, and about 170 naval aircraft. The Chinese have some 600 ships and a similar number of naval aircraft. I suppose the idea is that the UK will be a poodle for American power, again…
The absurd irony is that, while Britain is undertaking gestures of the above sort, Chine people are flooding into the UK. Take a look at any British city. Boris-idiot has also invited up to 6 MILLION Hong Kong Chinese to live here.

“The new “harm-based” communications offence 1.33 The offence that we recommend should replace section 127(1) of the CA 2003 and the MCA 1988 is an offence based on a communication’s potential for harm rather than on its content fitting within a proscribed category (such as “grossly offensive” or “indecent” content). Specifically, we recommend that it should be an offence for a person to send or post a communication (letter, electronic communication, or “article”, in the sense of “object”) that is likely to cause harm to a likely audience, intending that harm be caused to that likely audience. “Harm” for this purpose is defined as psychological harm amounting to at least serious distress.
1.34 This moves the focus away from broad categories of wrongful content, as we see in the current offences, to a more context-specific analysis: given those who were likely to see the communication, was harm likely or not likely? This formulation therefore ensures that, first, communications that are genuinely harmful do not escape criminal sanction merely because they cannot fit within one of the proscribed categories. Secondly, communications that lack the potential for harm are not criminalised merely because they might be described as grossly offensive or indecent etc.
1.36 The fault element for our recommended offence is set at a higher level of culpability than is the case under the current law: the defendant must intend to cause serious distress. Under section 127(1) CA 2003, the defendant need only have intended to have sent the communication of the proscribed character (ie they need not have intended any particular result). The MCA 1988 offence requires proof that the defendant intended to cause alarm or distress, which is the same fault element as harassment (but, notably, harassment requires a course of conduct, whereas the communications offence is complete at the point of sending a single communication). Our threshold is higher; it requires proof that the defendant intended to cause psychological harm amounting at least to serious distress.” [Law Commission report]
I have not yet read the full report, but what I have read so far seems to be (and could hardly not be) an improvement on the existing Communications Act 2003, s.127, which has been abused for years by Jew-Zionist cabals. notably the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (fake charity) crowd.
I contributed (as a member of the public) to that report. What effect (if any) my contribution had, I have no idea. No matter. “The stars in their courses fight on the side of the just” [Chinese proverb].

Different ages, but the vast majority at least of retirement age, reflecting the age-demographic locally (and especially true of local Waitrose shoppers).

“Well, I now have to praise the BBC’s Nick Robinson for saying this on the Today programme on Wednesday: ‘The evidence is that the masks that most of us wear, the one I have got here in my pocket, a sort of cotton mask that you either make yourself or that you buy, gives you no protection at all, absolutely none.’ After ages of assuming that loose cloth masks are effective, this must be the first time a major BBC presenter has stated the experimental truth.

“Lots of idiots still admire Cuba, believing the propaganda of its nasty, despotic junta. I think this is because so many of the former student revolutionaries of the 1960s imagine themselves in beards and fatigues riding at the head of a triumphant revolutionary parade into the fallen citadels of conservative, Christian civilisation.
The truth about Cuba – that it is a miserable, rationed secret-police state that even has first-class money for the elite and second-class money for its ordinary people – has always been unwelcome.
So has the fact that this potentially wealthy country is run by drearymiddle-aged bureaucrats, fearful of their subjects, with brains of solid Marxist concrete, about as rebellious and romantic as a public lavatory. Yet the youthful, barricade-storming image must still be maintained. Its official radio station, a conduit of weary, censored propaganda, is called Rebel Radio.
But now a real rebellion against these self-styled rebels has broken out on the streets of Havana. It looks to me like a proper uprising from below, not orchestrated by anybody.
And the admirers of Castro’s squalid state – who still litter the BBC, the universities, the schools, the media and the Civil Service – don’t know what to do or say. For they do not want to admit that, like the man they long admired, they have themselves become an intolerant, inflexible ruling class.“[Peter Hitchens, Mail on Sunday]
Very true. I have argued all my life against idiots who thought that Marxist-Leninist or derivative regimes in the Soviet Union, Cuba, North Vietnam, Nicaragua, and now Venezuela were decent and worth supporting.
As far as Cuba is concerned, the sort of people who even now support it are (generalizing wildly) like the NHS doctor whose cottage near Totnes I was once (2001) thinking of renting. She could not show me the place because, I was told, she is “cycling in Cuba”. Cuba is revered by some because it trains vast numbers of health professionals, who are then ordered to work in other countries so that Cuba can get foreign exchange, or barter goods.
As for the British and other mugs who supported the Cuban-inspired Sandinistas in the 1980s, they are still around, those that never woke up (to reality, not “wokeness”), and now support Venezuela, “Black Lives Matter” etc. Nicaragua itself is now suffering under the ex-Sandinista rebel, Ortega, and is a complete mess, but the “woke” idiots have other idols these days.
“Che” would not necessarily now be on their side, had he escaped being given a couple of rounds in the head in Bolivia over 50 years ago:
Socialism of the old type has frozen Cuba in time, to an extent that even the Soviet Union was not. Occasionally one sees TV people doing travel shows about Cuba. I think that Michael Portillo did one mainly about Cuba’s shambolic trains; Chris Tarrant certainly did.
Cuba’s trains are apparently kept going by all sorts of weird and wonderful methods, rather like those “iconic” 1950s American cars that ferry tourists around Havana.
Havana itself is falling to pieces. Occasionally, buildings just collapse after decades of little or no maintenance.
To some extent, I can see why some British, other European, American, people “support” Cuba: it has stood its ground against its superpower neighbour, it has its own identity etc. Other people have felt that way about other small and embattled states: Rhodesia, Israel, Taiwan, even North Korea. However, that is a sentimental attachment (if any) better indulged from a distance.
Cuba is basically a shambles. Admittedly, I myself have only seen it directly from the air (overflying from Tampa, Florida, to Grand Cayman), and from the sea (between Cuba and Jamaica).
My only contact with Cuban bureaucracy was when some British and expat Iranian scientists asked me to help find a sponsor for their biofuel project (I called it, to myself, “making gold out of straw”). A couple of countries were interested. This was in or about 1995.
The Ukrainian Ambassador in London even accompanied me (in his rather nice chauffeur-driven Lexus limousine) to Porton Down research centre (Wiltshire) one day, to meet with the team at their labs. That led to nothing, but at least the Ukrainians were interested. The Cuban Ambassador did not even reply to my letter! That despite the fact that Cuba would have been ideal— a country in need of fuel, with a huge quantity of otherwise unusable biomass (sugar cane detritus), and with a large cadre of scientifically-trained labour. Useless. Well, there it is…

Robert Peston is Jewish (or possibly part-Jewish…I am uncertain), but not particularly, if at all, sectarian. He was not brought up to be sectarian, I believe I read somewhere. That kind of distinction was recognized, up to a point, in National Socialist Germany, under the “Nuremberg Laws”, where those who were Mischlingen, or part-Jew, were treated in law differently depending on whether they adhered to Jewish religious communities etc, or not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Laws#Classifications_under_the_laws.
As can be seen in those tweets and reports, the Jews in Israel use “lawfare” (“legal” warfare) to get what they want. When that fails on its own, they use illegal methods, pressure, corruption, and ultimately violence. In the end, it is little different in the UK, France, and other places where Jews exist in large numbers.

Yes. Much of the scare regime of the past 19+ months has been superficially “voluntary” (the idiots wearing facemasks while cycling in the country etc). There was some Jew, a few years ago, who ran a thing at Downing Street called the “Nudge Unit”, trying to pressure the public to do this or that without using law. Is that unit still around in some form?

Eton and Oxford may put a gloss on someone such as “Boris”, but that gloss is a very thin veneer.
A rare week, in which John Rentoul beat my score. This week he scored 7/10, but I scored only 5/10, a far worse effort than usual. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 6, 7, 9, and 10 (I should have known no. 7, but the mind was blank, so there it is…).
Sadly, very true, though “Left wing” (eg “socialist”) is not fully accurate, certainly not the full story. The Jew-Zionist element has a near-stranglehold, as it does over the msm. In fact, not so long ago, the fake UK “charity” known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA” was advertising for “volunteers” with their own Wikipedia accounts to “edit” (vandalize) Wikipedia pages.
Wikipedia is one of the best resources on the Internet, perhaps the best, which makes it all the more irritating that Jew-Zionists and others are using it to spread propaganda.
It is absurd, also, that the mainstream UK newspaper, the Daily Mail, cannot be cited as a source for anything, yet rubbish publications such as the Sun, Mirror, even Morning Star, can be! Incidentally, I have no reason to be kind to the Daily Mail, as you will see if you google “Ian Millard barrister Daily Mail”!

Also, we see that the trend for the State to “outsource” things has now led to the “Boris” etc weaselling that the facemask nonsense will largely end (in law) on 19 July 2021, while at the very same time telling the public that they “should” carry on being scared facemask-wearing rabbits, and also telling —or nod-and-winking— to large supermarkets etc, and airlines, that they should effectively demand that their customers continue to be muzzled.
Screw that, and screw all companies demanding facemask use! Rebel any way you can, especially by boycotting those companies. Vote with your feet, and with your wallet or purse!

After 2008, “austerity” (which was the policy not only of the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne but also of Gordon Brown and Alastair Darling), was completely wrongheaded. Now, though, we see almost the opposite —but skewed— policy of vast sums spent, not on useful infrastructure, nor on real education and upskilling, but on schemes over the past 19 months to keep the population at home, eating delivered junk food, drinking heavily, and watching TV.
Totally agree Peter. Or just basic things like paving. Even in Oxford, one of our wealthiest cities, it is appalling.

(and in most of the USA, minimum-wage workers cannot afford even a one-bed apartment!).
The same or similar problem exists in the UK. Topping-up pay via Universal Credit is quite wrong; it subsidizes poor-paying-employers vis a vis employers who pay decently. Pay must be sufficient to live on. A measure of State-paid Basic Income will also have to come into existence, because the nexus between pay and work is very loose now, and many do not have paid work at all.
Stonehouse was a sensation when exposed as a fraud who had not died, as everyone thought, in 1974, in the sea off Miami Beach (a rather unlikely place to drown anyway). His espionage for socialist Czechoslovakia was not exposed —to the public— until well after his death.
That was an age when politicians, though hardly honoured, were still regarded as basically straight people. The later tidal wave of mediocre and hopeless idiots had not yet filled the Commons. That was another reason why people were fascinated by Stonehouse’s attempted (and very nearly successful) scam.
Other reasons why l’affaire Stonehouse became a sensation, briefly, were because it coincided with that Reginald Perrin TV comedy series, and also because a few other cases of international (British) fugitives had been news for years, notably that of Ronnie Biggs [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Biggs].
I recall that, when I had to visit the British High Commission in Gaborone, Botswana, in 1977, at age 20, I noticed a small golden plaque by the entrance stating that it had been officially opened by John Stonehouse in 1966, when he had been a minister in the Colonial Office and its successor, the short-lived Commonwealth Office (from 1968, joined with the Foreign Office in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office).
Strange to see that inscription, nearly three years after Stonehouse’s disgrace (but history is history, something both the “BLM” idiots and Zionist Jews might note).
The Daily Mail piece also contained the assertion that one Ernest Fernyhough, PPS to Prime Minister Harold Wilson, had also been (one of a number of Labour MPs) spying for the Czech StB (external intelligence organization). His treachery is new to me, and I see that Wikipedia does not mention it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Fernyhough.
I imagine that Stonehouse, who was a bit of a Casanova, and a gambler generally, might have been a fairly useful agent for Czech Intelligence, willing to take calculated risks.
As to the book, to be released on 22 July 2021, I might buy the hardback edition via Amazon when it is put on secondhand sale in a few months. RRP is £25.99, but the book can be bought at £18.99. Maybe when there are good, or as-new, used copies for £2 or so. Or, if you like, “when you get down to 90 kopecks, wake me up again”.
Despite that Daily Mail piece having been interestingly written, it contained one schoolboy error by the author (of both the book and the article): speaking in the strict legal sense, Stonehouse did not commit, as the writer claims, “treason”; his alleged espionage crimes would have been charged, had he been charged, under the Official Secrets Act(s) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_Secrets_Act#United_Kingdom].
