Sounds as if Clarkson, of whom I have never much liked the look, has mellowed, or at least learned a little.

He might have added (if he knows) that, while well over 4M people voted Reform UK (more than voted for the LibDems, or the Greens), fewer than 7M voted Conservative, and fewer than 10M voted Labour.

Labour, for all its supposed “landslide”, got only two and a half times the number of votes of Reform UK; not even, in fact.

Out of every 20 eligible voters, only 4 voted Labour. Con 3. Reform UK 2. LibDem 2. Green 1. 8 did not bother to vote.

I know that I make the point almost daily, but people must understand that this Starmer-Labour government or “elected” dictatorship has no real legitimacy, no real mandate. The msm is presenting a false narrative about the General Election.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results

Fanatical Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson claiming that the National Front “plotted to blow up Jews“. Untrue. Ahistorical nonsense. The National Front was a genuine and legitimate political party, albeit a fairly small or even fringe one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Front_(UK). Apparently, it still exists, at least in name.

In the 1970s, the National Front was the fourth-largest party in terms of both members and votes, certainly the latter.

As for Myerson, who operates out of Leeds and Manchester, he was recently removed as a Recorder (p/t judge) after having repeatedly abused people on Twitter/X etc, and after having failed to listen to initial “advice” (in effect, an admonishment or reprimand) from the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.

It may well be that some particular individual NF supporter or member plotted as described by Myerson; have members of the System parties never committed any crimes?

I was once in Hungary, for about a week, and 24 years ago (2001). I never went to Budapest, and travelled from the Romanian frontier to the Austrian frontier (which was then also the EU frontier), staying at Szeged (a pleasant town on the river Tisza) and then in a former Soviet-style “sanatorium” (hotel) by Lake Balaton, where my wife and I had a suite with its own external staircase to the lawned gardens which ran down to the lake, in which I was able to swim.

There was a small bust of Lenin in the bar (in the days of socialist rule, pre-1990, there may or may not have been a bar, but there was in 2001).

I liked what I saw of Hungary: civilized, and the people, the ones I met, reliable and decent.

Starmer and Yvette Cooper are tendentious anti-Brit people. They come out of a history of promoting mass immigration into the UK, and are really traitors to the future of the British people. Both members of Labour Friends of Israel.

Yvette Cooper and Ed Balls, when both were MPs, were expenses cheats and freeloaders; criminals. Now she, a would-be dictator, and member of Labour Friends of Israel, is trying to shut down what free speech still exists. Evil.

There are those on “both sides” trying to frame these fights and protests as revolving solely around white people opposed to Islamism and/or Pakistani Muslims.

The rioting Gypsies of Harehills (Leeds) are not Muslim; neither is the alleged Southport killer. All, however, are non-white, non-European, non-British in any real sense.

If that is accurate, and is what Putin has said, it may mean that he has come to certain conclusions about a possible, and possibly inevitable, “solution”.

Not only is there “two-tier policing” in the UK, but there is also two-tier reporting.

I watched a few minutes of a BBC report from a protest in the North of England yesterday evening. The geeky reporter said that he had just been talking to a leader of the “counter-protest” (unnamed, and not described, other than as said; may have been non-white, Jewish, or an English anarchist or Communist, we do not know), who had given his view. Needless to say, the unverified, anonymously-provided information provided by the said “leader of the counter-protest” was neither challenged by the BBC reporter nor balanced by any view from the English protesters. Typical.

Suddenly, we hear the mouthpieces of “the usual suspects” (e.g. Priti Patel, John Woodcock/”Lord Walney” etc) demanding the recall of Parliament.

Is this Starmer-Labour’s “Reichstag Fire” moment, when very repressive laws and/or “temporary” “measures” will be enacted by Starmer at the behest of (((those behind Starmer))), thus enabling a real police state (modelled on, inter alia, the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic regulations) to come into being?

Fanatical loonie Jew-Zionist Lee Kern describes England, or Britain, or the UK, as a “shithole”. He was, I think, born here, brought up here, and worked here, but has as little real connection with our country as some untermensch straight off a rubber boat on the beaches of Kent.

I saw the same phenomenon, though couched rather more politely (surprisingly) when the egregious lawyer, Mark Lewis, abandoned the UK for Israel (he is still returning from time to time to make money, though); that was in 2018, after he was found guilty in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal.

As for “sense of purpose” in Israel, its only sense of purpose has to do with its losing struggle to survive. I do not know how long the Israeli state can survive, but former heads of MOSSAD and Shin Beth seem pessimistic about it. Arab populations increasing, Israeli population static; nuclear weapons being developed in Iran; conventional heavy weapons being developed in states around Israel.

It is true that we have a severe illegal immigration problem, it is true that it is costing the taxpayers billions, it is true that some awful crimes have been committed by these and asylum seekers, it is true that thousands of Hospitality jobs have been lost by housing them in hotels, it is true that social housing is being depleted by this problem. If you’re trying to shut down accounts that highlight that, you’re not for free speech, you’re an authoritarian nut case.

The pro-immigration types have always liked the British people to assume either that migration(-invasion) is cost-free, or that it actually benefits the UK. It’s rubbish. The overall costs are enormous.

“Hope not Hate”, the misnamed mainly Jewish, and tendentious, “antifascist” organization, supported by some System MPs etc, is apparently now partly-funded by taxpayer monies, a fact of which I was previously unaware.

Note that the guilty party is “Lowles”, not “Knowles“.

I have, for a number of months, if not longer, raised concerns about Starmer, who always reminds me of Khrushchev’s view of Malenkov, i.e. that Malenkov was a “file-clerk type; such people should never be given power, and are dangerous” [see https://www.amazon.co.uk/Khrushchev-Remembers-Nikita-Sergeevich/dp/0316831409].

Look at Starmer. His first crisis as Prime Minister, and what does he do? He retreats to his “legal people” comfort zone. He does not even attempt to unite a country being pulled in different directions by centrifugal forces, as a real leader would.

Starmer threatens new repressive powers, “night courts”, no bail for accused persons (which is beyond his lawful power anyway), prison sentences (ditto). He supports, basically, one side, or rather is against one side, the British side, if you like.

Starmer’s attempt to create fear, eg among those on social media, has had some effect, not on the “bottle-throwers” but on entirely decent English people, many of at least middle-age, who have deleted tweets (often saying simply that they have been labelled “thugs” by Starmer).

Meanwhile, the brainless police have been shown on Twitter/X “bravely” kicking in the door of a lone woman who attended a protest. What else, if anything, did she do? If the police behave like a poundland KGB or Stasi, then public respect for them will (further) plummet.

Well, here we are, one month and one day into the Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship.

Oh, and another few hundred, or thousand, migrant-invaders will have crossed the Channel today, ferried in by Border Force and the RNLI (and another thousand —or possibly three thousand— “legal migrants” will have entered the UK via ferries and airliners).

Britain’s poundshop Stasi…

Watch that police “officer” in the clip, her smug attitude, hands in pockets, and the whole attitude of both police. Superficially not harsh, but arresting someone who sounds about 80 for comments (no doubt about the ghastly state of this poor country) made on Facebook!

Police state, even if it is (still? so far?) a “velvet glove” one most of the time.

I think that the time has come, inter alia, for me to share with my dear readers an event that happened at least a month ago. About 5 or 6 weeks ago.

Mid-evening after a warm day. I think a Saturday. Not sure. About 2030. Knock at door. Uniformed policeman there. Had never seen him previously. “Hello, what’s the problem?“; to which he answers “why would there be a problem?“, at which I have to politely explain that my wife and I do not have the police at our door every day…

It turns out that I am being questioned (and filmed on bodycam) for tweets made on Twitter/X. I am told right from the start that “there is no need to worry“, because the matter had “already been NFA’d“, meaning “No Further Action”.

I was too surprised by being buttonholed to ask why, in that case, a policeman had once again come to my door (not that exact policeman, but in the past decade, several real police and/or joke “PCSO” fake police).

The policeman showed me a kind of photostat or copy of what might have been a tweet, but he objected when I tried to take or (as my wife says I always do) snatch the paper to look at it properly (once a barrister, always a barrister…).

The heading seemed to be something like “Ian#IStandWithCorbyn

Anyway…I told the police that I had actually not had a Twitter/X account, nor tweeted anything at all, for about six years, since 2018, when a pack of Jews (I diplomatically put it as “a Jewish organization“) had complained about me to —pre-Elon Musk— Twitter, as a result of which Twitter had shut down my account permanently (and that I had never bothered to reinstate the account).

After that, the policeman, absurdly, would not let me examine the tweet or tweets, on the basis that the material would be confidential if not mine (why, if the tweet was public anyway?). The police today need a Franz Kafka to chronicle their absurd rules and protocols.

Anyway, after that, and a joke or two (from me), the policeman thanked me and departed stage left (not pursued by a bear, sadly).

So the police can send someone over a claimed tweet allegedly by me, which tweet had already been marked as “NFA” but, when a wheel was stolen from my car about 18 months ago, they did absolutely nothing. Useless.

I was too surprised to ask why they thought that the “Ian” of the tweet (if he even exists) was thought to have been me. Do the police think that no-one else in the UK is called Ian? God knows.

No wonder crime is flourishing, when the police seem to be uninterested in, and indeed incapable of doing, their proper job, yet take seriously malicious complaints from (((the usual suspects))) about supposed comments on Twitter/X, Facebook etc.

Who would best chronicle the way Britain now is— Franz Kafka, or Lewis Carroll?

What interests me is how these “liberal” scribblers, talking heads, lawyers etc all talk a good “human rights” game until someone tries to stand up for European race, culture and civilization. Then the “liberal” System/msm types are all in favour of locking people up for merely stating a view, let alone actually attending a protest…

Plymouth now. I think Royal Parade, one of the main streets, near to Armada Way, where I often, in the years 2002-2007, used to appear as Counsel in front of a varied group of judges at the Plymouth County Court.

Plymouth could be a great city, but isn’t. Badly-run for decades, basically.

As to the protests generally, BBC News dragged out Brendan Cox, the sex-pest of years ago, whose MP wife was assassinated. Cox was at one time getting hundreds of thousands a year from charities for his salaried work. One of the “favoured” of the present System set-up and its msm. One of the Prominente favoured by the multikulti msm, if you like.

Why does that person have any locus standi at all to discuss, or lay down, what does or does not constitute “legitimate” free speech?

Mass immigration has affected, and largely ruined, huge areas of British life— housing provision, pay levels, State benefits, including pensions, crime, terrorism, the roads, railways, education, culture generally, even water supply.

That may be a logical fallacy, to assume connection, or causative connection, but at the same time he may be right.

Quite. Just like would-be tyrant-woman Yvette Cooper, who even had the gall to say that British families should allow migrant-invaders to stay in their homes. Needless to say, she and her equally-expenses-cheating husband, Ed Balls (who together own several houses and flats) are not accommodating any migrant-invaders.

Fear? Think how many Muslims there now are in the UK (England especially). Nearly 4 million. Most are quiescent most of the time but, if inflamed by their own leaders, and/or by pro-active policing, and if organized (even locally) they could easily take down both the police and the now-very-depleted Army. Think about it.

English people are generally not organized when it comes to political protesting. Usually easily-controlled by the authorities.

“Stop saying “far right thugs”

Say violent offenders on ALL sides

Stop talking only about mosques

Say you support ALL communities

In a sense, the migration-invasion of the UK (and Europe generally) is the tsunami overshadowing the smaller events under it (such as the present urban upheavals in England).

The new and rubbish “Labour”-label Government talks a hard game, but behind that, the migration-invasion continues unchecked, unabated. Sooner or later, this society will break, whatever political pygmies of the Yvette Cooper and Starmer type may say (or do).

Reminds me of the last days of the German Reich, with Hitler and the generals of the OKW (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht—German High Command) moving wooden plaques, representing SS-Panzer and other forces, mostly by then non-existent, across huge maps, while, not so far away, the enormous Soviet armies advance relentlessly, ever closer to Berlin.

You have let in a Trojan horse army. And you will not blame the exhausted British public who’ve put up with so much terror . You will be a leader and fix the actual problem Not the frustrated reaction after two decades of daily reports of evil committed on our streets . The public have been extremely tolerant.

Starmer-Labour is basically a bunch of traitors who have “marched through the institutions” (and professions) to create a pseudo-“elected” government now trying to lay down the structure of a multikulti and “woke” police state.

Elected“? Only 4 voters, out of every 20 eligible, voted Labour.

That refers, in fact, to one Joanna Jarjue, a black woman who is (for no good reason) apparently on TV discussion-nonsense programmes occasionally. I had never heard of her, so looked her up online.

Turns out that Joanna Jarjue’s main and possibly only claim to (“15 minutes of”) “fame” was that she took part in the appalling TV show (fronted by the Jewish business person Alan Sugar) The Apprentice, seven years ago, in 2017. Sugar “fired” her before the final part of the contest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_(British_TV_series)_series_13#Candidates.

I don’t waste time on TV shows such as The Apprentice, but the format is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_(British_TV_series)#Format

Basically, seems that Joanna Jarjue has put together a background or CV that, in reality, does not add up to very much (in my opinion)[https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanna-jarjue-261ab78a/?originalSubdomain=uk].

Seems that every pointless “discussion-nonsense” show on “British” TV now needs to show how “diverse” it is by including a black person, whether it is that useless Nigerian “grifter” Femi Oluwole or some other, such as this Gambian woman, Joanna Jarjue (of whom I had never heard until 10 minutes ago, when I saw a tweet about her defending “trans” “women” boxers brutalizing real women boxers —of whom I also disapprove— on GB News).

I do not believe that women should be boxing anyway.

I make a distinction, though, between women boxing and women doing other “martial arts” such as judo or even taekwando (which latter I myself did for a few months in 1984). There, the contenders score points, but do not (in the sport versions) aim to batter each other to the ground. I admit that taekwando utilises aggression (my instructors were always shouting at me, or encouraging me, in such terms as “More aggression, Ian! More aggression!“) but in a different way to boxing (in my opinion).

I looked at the GB News video clip. The Jarjue woman obviously wants to hit the “right” buttons to get invited to make more (paid) TV appearances (cf. Ash Sarkar).

Ah, here she pops up again, again on GB News:

Thick as two short planks. Thinks that people are angry about the state of the country not for any substantive reason, but because of “social media”. Good grief…

Seems to be supporting the fake Labour attempt to destroy whatever free speech is still left in this country. What a surprise…

I was not alone in predicting a short or non-existent “honeymoon” period for Starmer-Labour. Others, though not many, echoed my view; Matt Goodwin for one (and he makes money out of his blogging…well, that’s life…).

There are many reasons for Starmer-Labour having no popularity among the British people (excepting —some— Labour Party members, and/or the grifting online professional “anti-Tory” know-nothings such as “@supertanskiii”).

First of all, Starmer and his crew have no ideas worth a plugged nickel. Look at the stupid decision to halt so many infrastructure projects recently. Infrastructure investment is the very foundation for later prosperity, though I agree for other reasons with the halt to the HS2 vanity-rail nonsense, and with the scrapping of the Stonehenge tunnel (the better idea there would be a bypass, built a mile or more away).

Rachel Reeves is someone without any ideas worth anything, and I think that Starmer is similar. As to Angela Rayner and Yvette Cooper, need the question even be put?

Secondly, money is being cut off from British people who need it, including pensioners.

Meanwhile, however, Starmer has agreed to waste THREE BILLION POUNDS A YEAR on “aid” to “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev led by the corrupt tyrant and former sleazy comedian, Zelensky).

Starmer is also throwing money at the —actually not very useful— junior NHS doctors, who only have to endure modest pay for a few years anyway before getting to fairly high salary levels. At the same time, the planned NHS hospital building and rebuilding programme has been stopped, more or less.

That is even before you start to look at the Starmer-Labour plan to destroy what little free speech exists still in this country.

Starmer was mainly (I think) a prosecutor, certainly best known for having been Director of Public Prosecutions. Looking at him, I have always been reminded of what Chekhov said to Gorky after having met, en passant, a smug young prosecutor in pre-revolutionary Russia: “…and it is pimples on the backside of humanity, like that, who dispose of the fate of people!”…[Gorky, Literary Portraits, trs. Ivy Litvinov]: see https://archive.org/details/maxim-gorky-literary-portraits-flph-1950.

Chekhov also said that every prosecutor he had ever met liked to fish. Well, I have no idea whether Starmer does. Perhaps not, though he does eat fish: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/uks-new-pm-keir-starmer-is-the-1st-jewish-pescatarian-to-ascend-the-position/articleshow/111558669.cms?from=mdr, the India Times incidentally having —apparently wrongly— identified Starmer as a Jew in that headline (his wife is the Jewish half of the couple). See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer#Personal_life.

The non-existent Starmer-Labour “honeymoon” period is, of course, also a function of the unpopularity of Labour at the pseudo-“landslide” General Election, Labour having (as I repeatedly point out, but the msm rarely do) only been voted for by 4 out of every 12 people who voted (and only 4 out of every 20 if you include the 40%+ of eligible voters who did not vote at all).

A bad combination: a government voted for by, at best, 34% of the adult population (but really only by about 20%), but pretending that it is wildly popular and has a “mandate” to pass repressive laws etc.

Here we go…sex-pest depressive “Lord Walney” (former Labour Party MP John Woodcock), a complete puppet of the Israel lobby, aka Jewish Zionist lobby (former Chair of Labour Friends of Israel), and a System drone who was ejected from the Commons by the voters, only to have been then “elevated” (in his case I cannot bring myself to write “ennobled“) to the pathetic House of Lords by a Conservative Party PM, “Boris” Johnson, himself a part-Jew and strong supporter of Israel, of course.

Incidentally, looking at “Lord Walney” in that photo, he really has aged in the past few years. He looks drugged or something, as well.

Even leaving aside the civil rights and human rights implications of “Walney’s”/Woodcock’s suggestion, what an incredibly irresponsible and ridiculous thing to suggest, to “lock down” the UK again.

The “Covid” “lockdowns” were both dictatorial and unnecessary anyway, but the point here is the huge economic damage done by them in 2020-2021. Now Woodcock/”Walney” wants to “lock down” the country again, merely because a few cars have been overturned and a police station “up North” burnt out! I don’t recall him suggesting that when non-Brits (such as the Gypsies of Harehills, Leeds) were doing the same or worse only a week ago.

Just what the UK needs— more economic damage. What a prize careerist idiot John Woodcock/”Lord Walney” is.

Exactly the same as the way in which Roma and other Gypsies (who came to mainland Europe from India centuries ago) live in Romania, Bulgaria etc. Import foreign populations, and you also import their behavioural patterns.

In the 1970s, despite problems, despite some poverty-stricken areas, Britain still had many possibilities open to it. Not so now. The importation of tens of millions of backward people has painted this country into a corner. There are now few, if any, easy and peaceful ways forward.

That Bernal person, despite being a professor at a university, has rather poor thinking skills. For example, he used to tweet frequently about how “free speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of your free speech“. Under that definition, Stalin’s Soviet Union, Mao’s China, and Pol Pot’s Cambodia had “free speech”… In other words, Bernal, a part-Jew descended from the once-famous J.D. Bernal [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Bernal], is a pretty silly person, to say the least.

Another socio-political idiot hiding behind a “professorship” (“professors” really are ten-a-penny these days in the UK).

In any case, he is wrong in his assumption: had the person charged and now arraigned been from a (real) British/English background, I am absolutely sure that the fact would have been proclaimed loudly all across the msm, and for years to come.

Starmer, and his mob of Islington lawyers, just don’t get it. His very political speech , surrounded by Union flags, deliberately misses the point. He doesn’t understand that away from his protected world, ordinary people associate the murder of innocent children with the arrival of illegal migrants. There is fear on the streets and he’s waffling on about online crackdowns or getting police forces to talk to each other. Neither will solve the problem. Stopping the boats will.

The Embassy strongly rejects media reports fuelled by irresponsible comments from former intelligence officials that #Russia is somehow to blame for rising social tensions in the #UK. This is predictable gaslighting from people who have themselves contributed to the destabilisation of entire countries and regions, setting in motion unprecedented refugee flows and human suffering.”

Talking point

[Dave Brown/The Independent]

As the ordure hits the fan, the System (and its cartoonists etc, the cartoon above being from the now online-only Independent) are loudly shouting that the disorder just below the surface in the UK’s cities, and breaking surface fairly often, is not because of factors such as —and most importantly— the invasion of this country by tens of millions of blacks and browns (etc), but by the people appalled at what has happened, what is happening, and what is plainly going to happen not very far in the future.

The System mouthpieces blame, for that disorder, not the underlying causes, and certainly not the treacherous “political class” at Westminster (which deliberately contrived the migration-invasion), but Farage, Reform UK, “Tommy Robinson”, other and various nationalist or social-national Prominente, and even bloggers and truth-tellers such as me.

Incidentally, I was just looking at a few more examples of that cartoonist’s work; liked this one:

…and this one:

Day 8 of 56. Mark Lewis and Patron Law have not yet paid my costs. Lewis submitted evidence to the High Court in my case about the transfer of his client’s house.

It seemed unlikely the evidence was true, so – like the judge in Lewis’ Davidoff case – I checked.

The Land Registry info showed Lewis’ evidence was false and he made another statement apologising to the court.

That’s twice in a year that Lewis has provided untrue evidence to the High Court and it has only been picked up by careful online research.”

[James Wilson].

It seems to me that Lewis is going to find himself sued in professional negligence soon, if he has not already been. My prediction is that he will scuttle back to Israel screeching about “antisemitism” in the UK. He will (probably) be safe from legal action there (though that is, I admit, a guess on my part), and will leave the small Jewish law firm in West London, which is his foothold in the English jurisdiction, to pick up any bill. Another guess on my part, but I expect that to be the way things develop.

It would be rather unfair were Lewis to scream about “antisemitism”. After all, not only have “British” (albeit “occupied”) mass media outlets (Daily Mail etc) been puffing Lewis, quite inaccurately, and for years, as a supposed hot-shot lawyer, but when Lewis was found guilty before a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 (just before he officially emigrated to Israel), his own Counsel begged the Tribunal not to fine Lewis heavily, because he lived in a rented apartment, and because his only assets were his [extremely vulgar] clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter! Even his car was being provided to him free of charge by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers via the Motability scheme run for the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/31/farage-accused-of-inciting-southport-violence-by-former-counter-terror-chief

A former counter-terrorism police chief has accused Nigel Farage of helping incite violence that broke out in Southport after the killing of three children in a knife attack this week.

Farage drew criticism from across the political spectrum for remarks he made in a video on Tuesday in which he questioned “whether the truth is being withheld from us” after the attack on Monday.

Neil Basu – a former senior Scotland Yard officer who was in charge of counter-terrorism from 2018 to 2021 – said there were “real world consequences” when public figures failed to “keep their mouth shut”

[Guardian]

Well, there it is. Mixed-race ex-“anti-terror” cop Basu [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Basu] proclaims that people should not be allowed to speak on socio-politically contentious issue or events, but should “keep their mouths shut“. There speaks the true voice of “woke” System totalitarianism.

Why should British people “shut up” just because types like Basu disagree with what they are saying?

Even more egregious, Farage was merely asking pointed questions.

More egregious yet, Farage is actually an MP, and leader of both a bloc of MPs and a party for which 2 out of every 12 voters (who voted) voted at GE 2024 (Con 3 out of 12, Lab 4 out of 12).

If enemies of freedom like Basu demand that even elected MPs and party leaders “keep their mouths shut“, what little freedom would the bastards allow to “ordinary citizens”?

Incidentally, Basu has never been elected to anything, has no degree or equivalent (as far as I know), has never written a book or anything else of note (as far as I know), and even the police were glad when he took early retirement, it seems.

Where is Basu’s locus standi, really?

This is the way things are going in the UK.

Paul Mason, the pseudo-revolutionary System drone. I may be wrong, but he always gives me the impression of being a state and/or System asset of some kind.

That “Paul Shilly” person is the type I struggle to understand. Do people like him really think that the UK (or Europe in general) can take in millions, then tens or even hundreds of millions, of mostly very backward, useless, parasitic migrant-invaders, without limit? Do they really think that UK society can survive endless waves of backward parasites and/or enemies reaching our shores? Or do they secretly know that the migration invasion will destroy both society and our root-stock, and is that what the traitors really want?

Social-media “slacktivism” alone will not accomplish anything, of course.

Many people on Twitter/X talking about trivia such as “was he [the killer] really only 17?” and “why not name and shame him?”, as if that matters much.

The big picture is that the UK is now full of non-Europeans, who now comprise about 20% of the population (far more in London and other cities and towns).

The majority of the non-Europeans here, indeed the vast majority, are of no use whatever to an advanced economy and society (which Britain was and could again become, indeed to some extent still is). A substantial minority of the non-Europeans are also actively criminal, or enemies of the British people. Of course, only a tiny minority commit massacres, but why should the British people accept any such outrages?

Part of that big picture view includes the fact that between half a million and a million migrant-invaders are entering and staying in the UK every year at this point.

The response of the revived corpse of “New Labour”, now under Israel-puppet Starmer, is to conceal the truth, to try to turn “illegals” to “legal migrants” via a rubber-stamp (the primary weapon of a type such as Starmer), and to destroy what is left of the English countryside by building ugly hutches for the migrants and others.

Rachel Reeves makes a lot more than that. The £90,000 is merely MP salary. As Chancellor, she gets about the same again, and has had other concealed income streams. Plus substantial investments.

Of course, Sophie Corcoran is a typical “Conservative” pseudo-“libertarian”, and Starmer-Labour is merely a hopeless mixture of Blair-Brown “New Labour” and the past 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment.

Planning madness

https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/24467184.uproar-larling-plans-nearly-2-000-new-homes/

Villagers in a hamlet which has around 100 homes have reacted with anger to proposals to build more than 2,000 new properties on their doorsteps.

Locals in Larling argue the area, which does not have mains sewage, is wildly unsuited to a development of such a scale.

The project would effectively turn it from one of Norfolk’s smallest villages to one of its largest – or create a new village altogether on its outskirts.

Larling, close to the A11 between Thetford and Attleborough, has been a late addition to Breckland Council’s local plan, which sets out where new homes can be built over the next two decades.

[Eastern Daily Press]

Similar madness is all over England now.

The madder thing is that hardly any English people are having children; who who are, are having one, or two. Below replacement level. Only the blacks and browns are having 3 or 4, or more, children.

Then, of course, the UK is importing 500,000-1,000,000 unwanted immigrants, mostly non-white, every single year now. Unsustainable, even in sheer numerical terms.

I do not know exactly when this society will break, but the signs are everywhere now. Quite soon, I think. Years rather than decades.

That Norfolk idea has apparently been put forward by or via a typically-greedy farming family, the Lewin family (see the newspaper report). They will end up with many millions if that development goes ahead. Probably about £20M. I have little time for the kind of farmers England now mostly has. Greedy moneygraspers, many of them.

I condemn the violence in Southport without reservation. But I don’t remember the same level of condemnation & pearl clutching at the Harehills & Manchester Airport riots & thuggery. They are not insulting the community, @ranvir01, they are trying to defend it.

The rioting started when, what appears to be an Asian or Middle Eastern man, turned up with a knife.

For decades people have wanted less immigration, especially the working-class as they bear the full brunt of the negative consequences. Knife crime, anti-social behaviour & grooming gangs.

Labour MP@SarahChampionMP estimates 1 million girls were abused, while the Labour Party covered it up with social services & the councils.

Now the murder of three little girls. People were aghast at the laxity to the response to Harehills & Manchester, but if they are white, lets go on a hate-fest against them. Be sure to sprinkle in far-right & EDL for emphasis. Two-tier policing & justice.

Note how weasel Pierce says that the alleged Southport murderer is “British” just because born in Wales (to African parents). If I were born in China, would I be Chinese? I think not.

So there is our “free” mass media. A “diverse” panel consisting of one little gay pro-immigration “Conservative”, one pseudo-revolutionary “British” Indian woman, and some stray black unknown to me. All pushing the same line…

I think that, the way things are going, the British people are going to take matters into their own hands, as at Southport. Not in a (very) planned or co-ordinated way (bearing in mind the degree of snooping that the poundland police state now indulges in, and the Kafka-esque misuse of “anti-terror” laws), but as now not infrequently seen, events flaring up, perhaps though leading to serious political upheaval as well, over time.

By 2034, there will be another 5M-10M non-whites in the UK, mostly in England, mostly in the cities. Plus maybe a few million births. What then?

UK, Eire, France, Germany, Italy, Spain. The problem is a pan-continental one.

[and you know what kind of (((influence))) is behind Yvette Cooper].

The Tunisian revolution began with a street vendor. Everyone knows the wider issues are the problem and it snowballs.

In the UK the problem is importing 10 million foreigners did not increase quality of life. It brought murder, rape, terrorism, wage stagnation, house price explosion etc.

But worst of all political gridlock on any solution to stop the inflow never mind reverse the damage. ~40% of the Labour vote comes from non-natives. They only got 33% in the election, without the imports they would have only got ~20%. This mindset of promoting foreigners and suppressing natives is representative of almost no one.”

Very true. As I have explained several times, at GE 2024, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote, probably out of disgust with the System. Another 4 out of 20 voted Labour; 3 voted Con, 2 Reform UK, 2 LibDem, and 1 Green. In rough outline.

In other words, only 4 people out of every 20 voted Labour. If, as is certainly the case, half of the Labour vote was from the ethnic minorities, that means that only 2 out of 20 real British people voted Labour.

Labour really has no mandate at all, or at best a very marginal one.

Free speech is being taken away. Elections have become almost meaningless. Our (real) human and civil rights are being eroded fast, replaced by fake ones. The late President Kennedy said something about that sort of situation:

And tragically, millions of people are completely duped by this. What we have witnessed over the Covid response, the war in Ukraine, the Net Zero agenda on climate change and many other current issues is a movement of faux-virtue that has been carefully crafted by corrupt politicians, messengers within legacy media outlets, greedy corporations, messiah delusional billionaires and undemocratic technocrats to create the impression that they are the virtuous ones who are our friends.

Regular readers know that I always say that I am not a “hanger and flogger” by any means, but a suspended sentence, and pitiful financial penalty, for a completely unprovoked and vicious attack of that sort in a public place, is inadequate; in fact it makes a mockery of law, order, and the courts.

We all know that prisons are full etc, but that sentence is just not good enough. Naturally, not all relevant facts before the court are printed in newspaper reports, but it is hard to see what mitigation could be sufficient on the facts that are known to newspaper readers to outweigh what the defendant did.

Incidentally, I had no idea what “Razorlight” might be. For those in similar difficulties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razorlight.

Thoughts about the Manchester Airport event

First of all, the full facts, in detail, are not publicly known; I certainly do not know them.

Having said that, a few things do occur to me. The most forceful policeman in the now-infamous video clip plainly went far beyond what was necessary. His prisoner or opponent was lying face down, hands apparently bound. He was apparently not moving at all. The policeman kicked him in the head, a hard kick which might have killed the prisoner. The policeman then stamped down hard —he was wearing boots— another assault that might also have killed the prisoner.

Secondly, the context is not on film; allegedly, an immediately-earlier assault by the Muslim family on a policewoman and another. I suppose that that policewoman was the young woman running around like a headless chicken in the video. Useless.

Thirdly, I noticed in the later video that another totally useless policewoman was there, doing nothing but being a useless extra body. There should probably be a rethink about the utility of policewomen in uniformed front-line roles, as UK society becomes ever-more violent.

Fourthly, the comment of Richard Tice MP of Reform UK, applauding the (apparent) over-reaction by one or two of the policemen, was predictably brainless.

Fifthly, the cartoon below is increasingly relevant in the UK:

Actually, another point also occurred to me as I watched a few minutes of TV news coverage: how many of the passengers seen in the background were non-European.

Trump is, obviously, a very flawed individual, but it is hard to imagine what kind of American would rather vote for Kamala Harris, a useless box-ticking careerist and know-nothing.

I suppose that the Democrats hope that she will capture the votes of the “blacks and browns” (etc), a simple racially-based preference based on the fact that she is mixed-race [father Jamaican, mother Indian Tamil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris#Early_life_and_education].

A third “world war” would be devastating, probably on a scale exceeding even that of the 1939-45 conflict. We can only hope that humanity, i.e. those individuals and groups with real power, pull back from the brink. If not, Europe, and quite likely Asia and North America as well, may face near-wipeout.

Nadine Dorries, pretty brainless freeloader though she is, is right about the semi-gangster milieu that has grown up, over two decades or more, in the centre of the “Conservative” Party. Given my head, I should know how to get rid of nuisances of that sort, but I am “not allowed” to detail that, in our “free” and supposedly liberal country.

The most important reform would be to the electoral system. As frequently recently noted on the blog, at the recent General Election and out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote, a clear repudiation of the political system, the voting system, and the “main parties”.

Of the remaining (12) voters who did vote, a mere 4 voted Labour, 3 Conservative, 2 each for Reform UK and LibDem (though Reform got far more votes), and 1 (not quite) voted Green.

That is Starmer-Labour’s mandate and support-base— 4 people out of every 20.

Barwell, you idiot. Your views come close to treachery. In fact, I believe that they do constitute treachery, treachery in particular to the remaining real English people not only of London but of all England.

Like many another, I voted with my feet long ago, and now prefer to avoid London. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/06/30/diary-blog-30-june-2022-including-impressions-of-a-trip-to-dystopian-london/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/02/04/white-flight-in-a-small-country/.

Incidentally, I see that Barwell’s cretinous tweet has been seen by well over 2 million people, yet has been “liked” by only 2,000— one in every thousand. Barwell’s views may be mainstream in the Westminster monkeyhouse and in the System msm, but in the rest of the country his opinions are those of a small and wrongheaded minority.

Barwell really takes the biscuit for deliberately-obtuse failure to see what is right in front of him— the destruction of the social fabric of London (and the UK) by reason of mass immigration and its consequences.

Even if Barwell’s narrow point is true, and Charlotte Gill does not like “living in a diverse community” (read “a crime-ridden multikulti swamp”), so what? That is her choice or preference (and a good one too).

If Barwell is typical of many of the “Conservative” Party officials and politicians, then its near-collapse is far from hard to understand.

Barwell’s knowledge of history is notable for its wrongheadedness. He is a know-nothing.

Sadly, tweeter “@Pauline51734996” also seems to know not so much about modern history, bearing in mind that WW2 is precisely why Britain was “bled dry“, the British people beggared for a decade after the “victory” of 1945 (some rationing in the UK lasted until 1955). “Pauline”, however, does not hold herself out as being capable of expert socio-political commentary, unlike Barwell.

Is Barwell aware that the Kiev regime is egregiously brutal, shambolic, corrupt, and tyrannical? No trade unions, no free press, no real opposition parties, no free speech (etc)? Press-gangs to force the many unwillingly into uniform? Those who have not managed to flee beyond the borders, that is.

A newspaper report about a young girl orphaned when her parents, as well as her two sisters, were killed on the road, it seems because an idiot was riding a motorbike on the wrong side of the highway, and at what must have been a tremendous speed.

The GoFundMe appeal set up for the orphaned girl (and publicized by that Daily Mirror report) had an initial goal of £3,000. It made that within an hour or two. The fund now stands, at time of writing, at nearly £250,000, on only the second day. It still increases. Enough to set the child up in life in every way.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-poppie

My point is that there is so much bad news, news about poor or even evil behaviour by people, that that often leads us to forget the immense power of goodness that also exists in the world.

That GoFundMe appeal has had a few large donations (£1,000, even £5,000), but much of the quarter-million pounds so far donated has been in smaller sums— £5, £10, £20. As someone once put it, discussing the Parable of the Widow’s Mite in the New Testament, “the radiation of the small coins“…

Heartening.

…once I had finally left the stifling climate on campus I became truly aware of how us Zoomers have been completely screwed over by the mainstream system. My parents, for example, were married, with one child, and onto their second property at the same age that I am now, despite not coming from any kind of wealth at all.

But the reality, today, for Zoomers like me, is that I will likely never be able to afford my own house, nor will I ever be able to pay off my university debt faster than the interest on it grows. Almost half of my monthly salary now goes on rent, meaning it is virtually impossible for me to save any money at all.

There is a listlessness that my peers and I feel – that I think is borne from the fact that we simply do not ‘own’ anything, nor can we put roots down anywhere. We are neither the ‘Somewheres’ nor ‘Anywheres’ British writer David Goodhart talks about; we have neither the means to join the Somewheres by putting down roots nor the desire to join the continually mobile, hyper-liberal Anywheres who eschew these roots for a sort of hedonistic, bohemian, and hyper-individualistic ‘life’.

…and meanwhile, the “British” Government, egged on by the organized UK Jewish lobby, defends the Gaza cruelties.

I was unaware that Myerson had “resigned” (been kicked out, in my opinion) as a Recorder (p/t judge), albeit under the fig-leaf of having “resigned”, of course. His continuing toxic social media output made it almost inevitable. Someone such as Myerson should never sit in judgment over others. Unfit.

It seems that the judicial career of pro-Israeli judge Simon Myerson KC may be over, or at least stalled. Skwawkbox understands that Mr Myerson ceased to hold judicial office in early July 2024. It is unclear whether he resigned or was forced out after failing to curb his controversial behaviour on X/Twitter.

Myerson, a founder signatory of the anti-left so-called ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS) group who was a ‘Recorder’ judge and has denied that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, was disciplined by the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice in March after engaging in politically controversial issues in an offensive manner. The senior judges found that he had failed to maintain the standards of his judicial office.

Asked to comment on the case, a barrister who has worked with Myerson said:

Myerson’s conduct on social media has been very poor. Judges are supposed to ensure that their conduct, both in and out of court, maintains and enhances the public confidence in the judiciary. Myerson is consistently rude and patronising to people on social media and it reflects badly on the judiciary. I suspect a lot of judges will be glad to see him go because his conduct was becoming an embarrassment.”

[Skwawkbox]

Stalled“? No. Myerson is finished as far as the Bench is concerned. He should never have even been considered for such appointment.

Incidentally, Myerson is or was a leading light of a “charity” bringing Afghans to the UK. Typical.

This is what Myerson and his type are defending— Israeli war crimes.

No wonder that the msm drones (BBC or other) are so careful always to parrot System propaganda (whether Israel-lobby/Jewish-lobby propaganda, “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic propaganda, multikulti society propaganda, or whatever else). One wrong move and they are “cancelled”, so losing out hugely in money terms.

An extreme view but understandable when animal abuse is uncovered, as in the case of Charlotte Dujardin (of whom I had never heard until this evening).

Most racehorses are treated very well, and I am sure that that is true of showjumping as well, though I have had only occasional contact with the latter.

I trust that Charlotte Dujardin , the Queen of Team GB’s dressage team ( she has 3 Olympic gold medals) is banned for much longer than the provisional 6 months over a video showing her whipping her horse’s legs repeatedly so the animal performs to her liking. Makes you wonder what other cruelty she may have visited on her horses over the years. The incident was filmed four years ago in the UK at an educational establishment. It shows Dujardin , 39, hitting the horse on its legs during a piaffe- a slow trot. Another rider was on the horse. Why didn’t the other rider report Dujardin to the authorities straight away? Whoever was the whistleblower was clearly worried about the Dujardin reaction as they leaked it through a lawyer in Holland The International Federation of Equestrian Sports was sent the video yesterday and provisionally banned Dujardin, 39, for six months. With luck she will be kicked out completely. Dujardin then issued some mealy mouthed statement saying she had made an error of judgment. You mean you were caught. Very grateful to the whistleblower. Without him or her Dujardin may well have been carrying the flag at the opening of the Olympics as our most important athlete.

[Kelvin MacKenzie]

When I find myself in agreement with Kelvin MacKenzie, the world has certainly changed…

On the wider point, it seems to me that the whole Olympic circus is now no longer useful, let alone interesting.

Starmer-Labour is a kind of “elected” dictatorship, as well as being a basically Jewish/Zionist “project” (cf. “Blairism”). It was “elected” under a system of voting used by few other countries.

In rough terms, Starmer-Labour was voted for by only 4 out of every 12 people that voted, and out of every 20 of those eligible to vote. Its mandate is very weak.

[out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 chose not to vote at all, 4 voted for Starmer-Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results].

You see so many unthinking tweeters such as “@1aisTro11sBots”, who imagine that the headline result of GE 2024 reflects socio-political reality. No, it reflects an unfair and stupid voting system.

In a more restrained way, the same or similar msm puffery in the UK enabled Keir Starmer to appear solid and competent. Hardy ha ha…

Even if so, no more dishonest than the Cameron-Levita/Osborne Con government of 2010-2015 laying the blame for the world banking crash and the UK’s slide into decline on the British poor, unemployed, sick, and disabled. The whole Cameron-Levita “austerity” nonsense.

We have a sick political and mass media system.

ps. why is there no law prohibiting MPs from being called “Darren”? (only joking).

Ukraine will not be able to win the conflict with Russia…Ukraine will not defeat Russia, and Poland will not be able to resist Russian forces in the event of a conflict.

The United States, like the UK, has experienced since the 1980s a decline in the quality of its politicians which is still continuing.

“…In fact, I’d go even further by stating the obvious. Kamala Harris, in reality, is only Vice President of the United States because she happens to tick the relevant identity boxes that according to the modern left need to be ticked. Woman? Tick. African American? Tick. She has basically benefitted from a system that is now hard-wired to promote certain identity groups over others, based on little more than these boxes.”

…and the UK is going much the same way.

I am thinking that Kamala Harris will be replaced by another candidate. If so, it will have to happen soon.

Either way, I should imagine that Trump is likely to win now, though you never know.

It seems most likely that some early parts of the Diary are authentic, but that most of it was written by some other person, almost certainly the girl’s father, and much later.

Not so much “New Labour New Danger” as a rehash of the “Conservative” fake “austerity” agenda.

The new Starmer-Labour government is already a total failure and fraud, only 2-3 weeks since its equally-fake “landslide” (only 33.7% even of those who voted).

As noted before on the blog, out of every 20 eligible voters, only 4 voted Labour (3 voted Con, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. 8 did not vote).

Wait until they find out about the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic.

Helen Pitcher and the Criminal Cases Review Commission scandal

https://www.theguardian.com/law/article/2024/jul/18/ccrc-chair-helen-pitcher-rejects-call-to-resign-andrew-malkinson-case

The chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission has rejected calls from the justice secretary to resign after a report on its handling of the Andrew Malkinson case laid bare “a catalogue of failures”.

The new justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, said Pitcher was “unfit to fulfil her duties” and that she was seeking her removal in light of the findings. It is understood that she made her position clear to Pitcher on Thursday morning in the hope that she would resign.

But Pitcher said she was the “best person” for the job and that she had no intention of standing down.

James Burley, who led Appeal’s investigation into Malkinson’s case, said the report was “utterly damning” and detailed “a catalogue of failures by the CCRC”.

He said: “No one can doubt now that the CCRC is a broken safety net which sets the bar unreasonably high for innocent prisoners trying to clear their names. The CCRC must be completely overhauled.”

[The Guardian]

[Helen Pitcher, useless “quangocrat”]

I had never heard of Helen Pitcher, so I looked her up online: https://www.legalwomen.org.uk/helenpitcher.html.

Helen Pitcher OBE Chair of the Judicial Appointments Commission talked to Bhini Phagura from Raydens solicitors about her career.

Tell us about your career progression which led to your appointment as the Chair of the Judicial Appointments Commission:

I studied law at QMC London and used this degree as a basis for a career in commerce, where I rapidly progressed up the ranks to become an Executive and Divisional Director in Grand Metropolitan. I retained a footprint in the law in various roles related to Standards, Fairness, Equity and Diversity.

Well…wouldn’t you just know it?

There’s more:

The first role I held in parallel to my Commercial career was as a lay representative of the Professional Conduct and Complaints Committee of the Bar Council.” [now split into the Bar Standards Board and the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal].

Yes, there is usually at least one useless woman of this sort sitting (well-paid, too), but doing nothing, when a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal sits. In 5-person tribunal cases (as mine was, in fact wrongly— it should have been a 3-person tribunal, which has no power to disbar) there are usually two such women (they always seem to be women, as on benches of lay magistrates), invariably a pair of unsmiling and stupid “bookends”. Useless box-tickers. See also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

I also became a lay representative on the Employment Appeal Tribunal and still hold this office.

I then joined the Queens Counsel (as it was then) Selection Panel and rapidly became its chair. Whilst there we improved the Diversity Statistics.

Again the “diversity statistics“… Why am I not at all surprised?

I held this role for 9 years. On stepping down, I decided not to apply for another role as I also had a burgeoning Consultancy and Portfolio Career. About 18 months later, however, an advertisement for the role of the Chair of the CCRC (Criminal Cases Review Commission) was brought to my attention.

Last year the role of Chairman at the JAC (Judicial Appointments Commission) became available. A Headhunter contacted me having uncovered my background on LinkedIn. I checked with the MoJ that there was no conflict of interest and submitted my application. On December 31st following a Justice Select Committee earlier in the month, I was appointed and took up the post on January 16th [2023].”

My role as chair involves leading the Board, ensuring appropriate oversight on governance and providing appropriate challenge and support to the executive. I am also involved in some of the most senior appointments.

I have rationalised my portfolio (which was a Commitment I gave to the JSC) in order to ensure I have the appropriate amount of time to devote to this key role.

You are holding this role for 3 years from January 2023, what are your aims/goals?

The strategic aims were already set, however they are due for a refresh as the period they covered draws to a close. These aims, which are developed in conjunction with the Board and executive, are on our website and thus in the public domain.

Our primary purpose set out by statute is to recruit on merit, our secondary (and no less important role) is to assist the rest of the judicial system to increase the diversity pool. It is for this reason that I also chair the Judicial Diversity Forum, which has a clear action plan to achieve its aims.”

So the secondary role is as important as the primary one? How muddled and wrongheaded is the stupid woman?

[Legal Women (online-only) magazine]

The interview is rather badly written, unfortunately, with superfluous upper-case here and there; as can be seen, it is the product of an Indian woman.

Well, there we have it. That greedy and plainly incompetent Pitcher woman has made a whole career, and no doubt a very lucrative one, out of “diversity”, tokenism etc. First of all, in her own person, by being a “token woman”, or one token woman, on commercial and quango boards. Secondly, by being a Trojan horse for more “diversity” and “inclusion” (etc) in important public offices.

Helen Pitcher, who seems to me to be a useless “diversity” box-ticker, has, inter alia, sat in the seat of judgment over employment appeal cases, over the cases of supposedly defaulting barristers etc, and has even been (and apparently still is) the head of the body which appoints judges, including those at the highest level.

cf. Paula Vennells [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Vennells] and Dido Harding [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dido_Harding] and many many others.

Helen Pitcher is, at time of writing, doing, and of course getting paid for doing, several different jobs simultaneously. She is probably making between half a million and a million pounds a year. For what? Ruining various bodies? Ticking various “diversity” and “anti-racism” boxes? Shoving our society further into the mire?

Look at how Helen Pitcher is clinging on to her CCRC role, presumably in order to maximize the money she gets before she is forced out. At least, that seems to me to be her motivation. Very telling, if so.

This latest scandal, including Helen Pitcher’s “march through the institutions”, is so typical of the way in which things generally have been allowed to develop in the UK in the past 30+ years.

You can see the way the UK is going, at least partly because of stupid and over-promoted women such as Helen Pitcher (and, yes, also men, not infrequently)— straight down.

God knows what state this country will be in in 2029 or 2034, let alone 2054 (which last I shall not have to witness, thank God, not from the Earth plane anyway).

Andrew Malkinson calls miscarriage of justice watchdog’s ex-head ‘shameless’

Helen Pitcher resigned from the CCRC saying she had been ‘scapegoated’ over Malkinson’s case

Emily DuganTue 14 Jan 2025 19.51 GMTShare

Andrew Malkinson has called the former head of the miscarriage of justice watchdog “shameless” as she resigned from the job saying she had been “scapegoated for entirely legitimate decisions” taken over his case.

Helen Pitcher handed in her resignation as chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) on Tuesday afternoon after learning that an independent panel had concluded by a majority of two to one that she was no longer fit to be chair.

In a letter to the justice secretary she said she felt that she had been chosen as a “scapegoat at an early stage” for the Malkinson case and that “a head had to roll and I was chosen for that role”.

Malkinson said: “Helen Pitcher’s attempt to portray herself as the victim here is shameless.

The Guardian revealed that Pitcher had been in Montenegro promoting her property business in the weeks after Malkinson’s conviction was overturned and the organisation was in crisis after its failure to apologise to him.

[Guardian]].

Her property business” (as well as all the rest)?

Helen Pitcher thus managed to blag another 6-7 months’ pay and expenses, and pension contributions, when she should have resigned in mid or early 2024.

Shameless” indeed, the horrible and avaricious old hag.

Summary of the Israeli strike according to what is known so far: – Approximately 25 F-15 and F-35 aircraft, accompanied by refueling planes, flew about 2000 kilometers toward the city of Hodeidah in Yemen.

– The strike was carried out in 8 waves.

-The attack destroyed fuel depots, inflicted damage on the port, and destroyed a power station north of the port.

– The fire is still burning and is expected to continue for several more days.

– There is a power outage across the entire region.

– The message of the strike is clear: this is not a strike on military targets (which has been done by the coalition over the past 9 months) but an attack on the already struggling Yemeni economy, causing significant economic damage.

– The attack on the port is a direct response to the damage Yemenis have caused to the port of Eilat.

– The message to the rest of the Middle East is also clear: the Bandar Abbas port and the Kharg Island, from where most of Iran’s oil is exported, are in Israel’s sights, as well as the port of Beirut.

– Israel has decided to take off the gloves; this is not a minor strike like those in Iran.

– The Houthis are threatening to retaliate, but it is unclear what the threat entails, as they have already attacked Israel 200 times.”

Middle East, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Far East. All now under threat of major regional wars.

Ukraine lines are collapsing. After 380 billions of aid pledged to Ukraine since the war begin; 118 billion are direct military aid; many countries literally emptied out entire inventory countless military units to give their weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine is STILL losing grounds everyday. Lost 5 towns in the past 48hrs. The fortress city of Krasnohorivka is falling as we speak; Russia threatens cut the Oskil Frontlines in half with the likely capture of Pishchane. Still not collapsing? This is not collapse of frontlines, then what is?

Back to the UK tomorrow. I’ve never had such dread about Britain. Coming back to London and knowing how unpleasant it’ll be. The demographic changes and feeling that [the UK] is most against Brits. The lack of functional media. The feeling something big has to happen to restore order.

[Charlotte Gill]

Plenty of Twitter-twits replying to all that and saying how wonderful London still (?) is, but I lived in (mostly) Central or near-Central London, on and off, for 22 years (1976 to 1998, though spending also many years either elsewhere in the country or overseas), and I should not want to live there today: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/06/30/diary-blog-30-june-2022-including-impressions-of-a-trip-to-dystopian-london/.

I have not been to London since that brief visit in 2022, and am glad of it. I no longer have the Rolex watches I had 25+ years ago (or want them, or need them, or can afford them) but, if I did, I think that they would not stay on my wrist very long in the London of 2024.

Why can people who should know better not accept the truth that is in front of their eyes? In a word, deluded.

One aspect of London that seems to have radically improved in recent years, though, is the public transport network. New lines, new trains, new ways of travelling around the conurbation. Crossrail/Elizabeth Line for one. I do not speak, however, from personal experience of the new lines, just from what I have read online.

Well over 20 years ago, in 2000, I happened to meet and get to know (somewhat), in Bournemouth, a young blonde woman (20 or so) I first encountered in a photography shop, and who was very proud of her father, vice-Chancellor of (if I remember aright) Lancaster University. She talked about him rather a lot, and thus I learned that (again, if I remember aright) his salary was over £200,000 a year, which would be pretty good even today, by most people’s standards. In fact, the Bank of England online calculator shows that you could almost double that in today’s money. So today— maybe £400,000.

The tertiary educational sector in the UK has been a kind of “rotten borough” for a long time. At least 30 years.

I notice that the “alt-Right” (?) academic and commentator, Matt Goodwin, has retweeted a tweet about the UNRWA by the malicious and publicity-seeking Jew-Zionist org, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. Foolish. The credibility of that malicious cabal is shot; even most pro-Israel Jews are against its activities and behaviour. By retweeting the “CAA”, Goodwin risks his own credibility too.

My understanding was that Japan had withdrawn from whale hunting in the Southern Ocean, and would only be whaling in Japan’s own Exclusive Economic Zone [EEZ].

If anyone other than Trump takes on the U.S. Presidency, the Americans will be staring civil war in the face. The rest of the world (as well as the USA) will be staring at, quite likely, a world war, starting (like the first two “world” wars) in Europe.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week I scored the same as political journalist John Rentoul— 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 8 (in fact I had read about the last, but had forgotten it).

Historical note

On this day, 80 years ago, backstabbers attempted to kill Adolf Hitler and then to seize power in Berlin and over the Third Reich: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_July_plot.

Classical Hochverrat [“high treason”].

I am willing to accept that some of the conspirators acted out of a sense of higher duty, and with the idea of bringing a halt to the war on the Western Front, and so also bringing a halt to the devastating aerial bombing of Germany (which eventually killed as many as 800,000 people). However, to attempt the assassination of the head of both state and government at such a time of crisis can only be seen as treason, if the term has any meaning [see also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2020/01/08/treason-is-a-matter-of-timing/].

The conspirators wanted to call a halt, via armistice or truce, on the Western Front but continue to fight Stalin’s Soviet Union on the Eastern Front. They seem to have believed that the Americans and British would have accepted that. Not impossible, but very unlikely. Roosevelt and Churchill, at the Casablanca Conference in early 1943 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casablanca_Conference] had jointly called for the war against the German Reich to be fought until the latter declared unconditional surrender.

I cannot but feel some understanding of the motives of the 20 July 1944 conspirators, despite their treason, and despite their attempt to kill Hitler. They wanted to keep Germany, and all Central Europe, from being completely obliterated. They were unaware at the time of the progress being made by Jewish scientists in the USA towards the development of an atomic bomb (originally planned to be used against Germany, not —primarily— Japan); had they known of it, they would perhaps have felt doubly justified.

The 20 July plotters gambled for the highest stakes, and lost.

I do not “condone” the actions of the plotters; neither do I “condemn” them (and my views make no difference either way). Let history judge. Die Weltgeschichte ist das Weltgericht [“the history of the world is the judgment of the world”— Schiller].
