“Prepping” in the European context, especially in relatively crowded spaces such as the UK, cannot be the same as in, say, North America.
The problem with the more fuzzy kind of thinking about prepping in Europe is that it leaves out the potential for chaos and disorder if (or when) centralized authority collapses or disappears.
Multiply that by about £20,000 per person (including NHS services, educational services, legal and police costs etc), a modest supposition, and the cost exceeds £32 billion per year…

Are the British allowed any say in their own destiny, or are only foreigners permitted a say or even residence in this nation that was once ours? Serious question. https://t.co/gx7ymw68xt
The answer, from anyone under about 25 or so, will of course be “no“. The same goes, mutatis mutandis, for previous epidemics, eg the “Hong Kong Flu” of the late 1960s. Society did not shut down, there were no ludicrous rules, regulations and “advice” mandating “social distancing”, the facemask nonsense etc, and life moved on…

As a matter of fact, I recall representing one or another “faction” of Hawkwind at the Plymouth County Court in 2004 or 2005. What amazed me was that, 20-30 years or more after the peak of their fame, they still had a hard core of fans who were willing to travel hundreds of miles to “support” their faction of the band at court.
One of the dozen or so fans that turned up at court actually got into conversation with me, trying to discover whether I was part of the enemy faction! I don’t think that those fans really understood that a barrister is not emotionally involved with the interests of the lay clients he represents. The fan who spoke with me had travelled from North Wales to Plymouth just to be present at the brief hearing, which only lasted about an hour, if that, being an interlocutory matter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawkwind#1999-2007:_Anniversaries,_disputes_and_Voiceprint.

That is how the Israeli Jews behave in Israel. The Jews elsewhere in the world, such as in the UK, are a small minority, so cannot unleash such widespread brutalities. In the UK, they have to use “lawfare” instead of warfare, meaning making malicious accusations to police, employers, academic institutions, social media etc.
Strange fact: the mostly not-so-tyrannical US Presidents of the 19th and 20th centuries were shot at, and sometimes killed, by dissidents, yet G.W. Bush never had any such challenges.
On the other hand, F.D. Roosevelt was fairly tyrannical, arguably, and he was shot at, but his attempted assassination preceded his actual incumbency: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Zangara.
Whatever freedom there was in the UK has been eroded quite fast in the past two decades, largely because the Jew-Zionist element, influential in the msm, the political world, the legal world and elsewhere, has started to wage “lawfare” against those who recognize their traits and behaviour and who blog, speak, or write about all that.
In addition, there is the fact that we approach the year 2022, which will set the geopolitical agenda for the years up to 2055. “The Great Reset” and “The Great Replacement” are connected to that.

I would think this ignorance is common to many in Parliament. I am learning a lot from " The broken compass" The Cameron delusion " Mr H has written this book to grab you and make you think. Mr.H is a great educator
Parliament, both Commons and (ludicrous) “Lords”, is now full of trash; a situation which has steadily worsened since 1989. We are, incredibly, in a crazy world where the likes of Jess Phillips and Lisa Nandy are spoken of as potential Labour leaders, and where a part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer and self-promoter has somehow become leader of the misnamed “Conservative” Party.
The mother of the murdered black boy, Stephen Lawrence, and by reason of that, now sits in our upper legislative chamber, as does Michelle Mone, a woman who, off the back of an eventually-insolvent bra company, presented herself to cretinous David Cameron-Levita as a great success story. Now “Baroness Mone”. Just a couple of examples. There are many others, such as half-Jew, half-black ignoramus, “Baroness” Oona King, one-time MP, whose autobiography is truly cringeworthy. Sadly, my review on Amazon (along with all my other reviews) is no longer available by reason of Jewish-lobby whining against me.
Parliament is now, like much of Britain, a dustbin.

9 September 1585. Cardinal Richelieu was born in Paris, France. He was Louis XIII’s chief minister from 1624 to 1642. He used authoritarian measures to maintain the king’s power by censoring the press, utilising spies and restricting political discussion in public assemblies. pic.twitter.com/yiq9wBZFyx
He might have been at home in the Britain of 2021. Still, I should not be too harsh in judging the Cardinal. After all, he shares his “Sun sign” (Virgo) with me, and is thus —as far as I know— one of the relatively few Virgoan rulers (he was, in effect, a ruler) in history, Elizabeth I of England being another.
On a superficial look, extreme, but then look again at what is actually happening, not only in Greek (South) Cyprus but in Australia, France, Canada etc. An attempt by the State to deny the most basic services to those who refuse the vaccine(s). Even in the UK, there are now difficulties in accessing medical (NHS) services if the patient is not vaccinated. Travel? Worse.
This could be an early “dry run” of what will later appear in world history as the wraparound “mark of the Beast” state, as foretold in Revelation.
Seriously.

With Keir Starmer’s misnamed “Labour” Party, there is no real attempt to offer a better, or even different, society, just criticism of the “Conservative” part of the “two main parties” scam, while supporting 95% of what the Government is doing but “next time do it better, with more blacks and browns involved, and do it bending the knee to the blacks and wearing a facemask.” Utterly pathetic, but at some level deliberately co-ordinated.
Starmer is a puppet of the Jewish/Zionist lobby. He may want to be Prime Minister, but the Lobby has no interest in Labour winning some general election or other. If it does win one, well, no matter. Starmer and his Shadow Cabinet are all suborned; if the “Conservative” government continues, well, they are all in the bag anyway. Win-win, for “them”…
I have not been closely following the trial, and do not know whether any independent witness actually heard Portman use the words which the complainant, Gideon Falter, said that he used, i.e. that Falter is “Jewish scum“. All I know of the matter is what I have read in newspapers.
Falter is the head of the “charity” (pressure group) known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, and has been since the establishment of that very small but well-funded organization in 2014. He apparently acquired a degree in, I think, Law and French, many years ago, and seems to have a great deal of money, his parents said to be residing in a house worth many millions in St. John’s Wood, London.
Prior to the founding of the “CAA”, Falter was a witness in a rather similar case, in 2009, in which Foreign Office man Rowan Laxton was said to have expostulated “fucking Jews!” etc while watching a TV news report about Israeli slaughter in Gaza.
While it was said that another witness also heard the above-quoted words, Falter alone testified that Laxton had also said that “If I had my way, the fucking international community should be sent in, and if the Israelis got in the way, they’d be blown off the fucking earth.” https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/sep/24/senior-diplomat-racial-harassment-case;
Interestingly enough, The Jewish Chronicle simply identified the prosecution witnesses as “two men“. Not reported on were their racial-ethnic origins, nor even their names.
Laxton later became High Commissioner in Cameroon.
In a sense, the Jew comedian, David Baddiel, is right, or partly right. Leaving aside the apparently vexed question of non-Jews who convert religiously to Judaism (something not considered possible by the more traditional sections of Judaic society), Jews are Jews both ethnically and religiously, but primarily ethnically (like Hindus).
It can be seen that atheist Jews still consider themselves as Jews. Indeed, they are Jews. However, someone who is not ethnically Jewish but has become a Jewish convert religiously is usually not considered to be a Jew in the real sense, either by most Jews or by most non-Jews.

This is her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janey_Godley. A “comedian” (“comedienne” would be “sexist”, you see…). Probably about as funny as most comics these days, i.e. not very.
I seem to recall that that stupid woman tweeted things about me in the past, years ago, along with a few mentally-disturbed Jewish individuals. In fact, that sort of self-describing “antifascist” type is almost invariably mentally unstable, to say the least: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/.
Was I in any way upset when the stupid creature tweeted about me? No. If some half-crazed ex-barmaid turned “comedian” wants to tweet about me, let her. What goes around comes around, as the Americans say, and it seems to me that her family history shows that “the Lords of Karma” have already been rather active there…
What I find hilarious is that Janey Godley apparently adheres to the faux-nationalism of the SNP. Not real social nationalism, but a nationalism which is just System politics with a “Scottish” persona far less credible than the 1960s TV shows of Andy Stewart.
Speaking of Andy Stewart…
I remember Andy Stewart from those TV shows, circa 1965, I think. He had a pretty good voice, in fact. The above clip, though, is from much much later.

Let no-one say that these events are just removal of unwanted old statues or some such. I was in Moscow in 1993 when not all of the old statues and memorials had been removed.

The actual head and shoulders of the giant bust of Kalinin had gone, leaving only the plinth itself and the metal stalk, about 2 feet high which had once anchored the head and upper body to the stone plinth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Arbat_Avenue; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Kalinin

Statues, memorials, street names, these are all part of the mental landscape. Remove them and/or replace them with different heroes, and you change that mental landscape.

I’ve never been hugely keen on Boris. But if the government raises national insurance, implements vaccine passports and imposes an October lockdown – it will have lost my vote for good.
Individuals such as Boris Johnson only understand one thing, but we have so little freedom in the UK now that my merely mentioning it would have the police at my door…
I wonder where tweeter Ben Knight/@GingerOrBald will place his formerly “Conservative” vote? Labour (which favours exactly the same policies as the present Con regime)? LibDem? They are no different. Some small and doomed “libertarian” party, such as the pathetic joke “party” founded recently by Laurence Fox?
That’s the point, though: there is no real democracy, no real “choice”.
So-called liberal democracies are every bit as tyrannical as the dictatorships they claim to be morally superior to. Maybe even more nefarious because they give the illusion of choice and freedom.
Looking back now to the 2-3 years I spent as a child aged 10-13 in Sydney, in the years 1967-1969, and comparing it to what I see now in the msm, elsewhere, and also hear from family members still living there, Australia in the late 1960s seems to have been a golden age of sorts…Yes, my family did live in a couple of the better areas (Mosman and Cremorne), and there were many poorer areas in other parts of the city, but I still think that Sydney/Australia then was a city/country of relative freedom and opportunity, and that the Sydney and Australia of today is a kind of semi-crazed multikulti dystopia.
Quote of the day from an anonymous Tory MP, speaking to the FT about Boris Johnson’s plan to increase National Insurance: “We are asking people on low incomes to pay more tax so that privileged kids can inherit expensive houses.”
More to the point yet, why do the British people generally not vote for social-national parties? In my view, several reasons: firstly, no credible social-national parties or leaders; secondly, the repression, including repression of free speech, carried out by State drones but fomented largely by the Jew-Zionist element; thirdly, the people are not hurting enough to seize their chance for national freedom.
The figures may not be 100% (eg no mention of indirect taxes such as VAT), but that tweet illuminates the financial aspect of the migration-invasion problem in a nutshell.

The test for, or touchstone of, whether these msm outlets are for “free speech” or not is whether certain groups can be mentioned, and their behaviour questioned. Above all, Jews and their perceived behaviour, meaning both on the individual basis, and on the group or communal basis.
If a “free speech” outlet, or pressure group, or political party, treats the so-called “JQ” (Jewish Question) as taboo, then it can be binned as worthless. Over to you, Talk Radio! Over to you, Jeremy Kyle!
For example, we have recently seen the emergence of the Free Speech Union. It has a Twitter account, and well-known figures from the “controlled opposition” lead it or belong to it, but the FSU has never once, not one single time, supported the freedom of expression of, say, Alison Chabloz (imprisoned for taking part in an Internet “radio” podcast discussion which mentioned Jews), or Jez Turner (imprisoned for making a speech in Whitehall which mentioned Jews) etc.
Not one “human rights” barrister, or “free speech” talking head, or newspaper scribbler, supported me by word or deed. Not one was brave enough to do so. Useless venal people.
The following exchange on Twitter illustrates the point about what is or is not free speech:
You're not looking at this correctly. When people say 'can' they're not talking about physically being able to do it. It's about being 'allowed' to. They aren't the same. Obviously everyone has the capacity to voice their opinion. The issue is if they are punished for it
One still sees, on Twitter (often the online home of the ignorant) the contention that “you have free speech but are not free from the consequences of your free speech“.
The above frankly moronic assertion is not uncommonly seen on Twitter. Even those who certainly should know better (eg the odd law lecturer from a “McUniversity”) are seen to come out with the assertion as if it were a judgment of Solomon.
Naturally, a moment’s thought makes it clear that, if you “have free speech but not freedom from consequences“, then Stalin’s Russia, Mao’s China, even Pol Pot’s Cambodia, or North Korea, had “free speech”. You can say whatever you like, but you may then end up in the “GULAG Archipelago”, or the Cambodian “Killing Fields”.
Not a very plausible assertion.
There should be unlimited free speech on social, historical, and political questions, no matter whether this or that ethnic or religious group feels offended. In fact, it is usually only a tiny part of any minority ethnic or religious group that is disposed to find “offence” or indeed to seek it out.
An obvious example of the above is the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, which purports to represent Jewish-Zionist interests in the UK, yet in fact is a tiny minority of a minority. Somewhere well below 500 members. Its few public demonstrations since it started in 2014 have been attended by 50 to 100 individuals, despite its friends in the msm inflating the figures to hundreds and, in one egregious instance, inflating an attendance of about a hundred or so to “thousands”!
Incidentally, there are about 250,000 Jews in the UK, perhaps more, so the “CAA” membership, thought to be a few hundred at most, is representative of only one UK-based Jew out of about every 1,000 or 2,000.
Yes, I’m slowly beginning to agree that this is what is happening. The changing attitudes to Cryptocurrencies among the conventionally conservative financial classes is also an indication of it. They are lining up Bitcoin to become the global currency.
Don’t people understand? Once you set up a system like that, and start incarcerating people on spurious “health” grounds, there is no going back. The system can be repurposed, the camps can be repurposed, at any time. “Health”, “Covid-19”, “spreading fake news”, “wrong attitudes”, “racist”, “anti-Semitic”, “harmful to public order” etc…

Nick Griffin, Mark Collett, and Patriotic Alternative
I have never met either of the above individuals. Moreover, I do not “support” either, as such, and I do not oppose either, as such. Nick Griffin did well to turn the BNP into a machine capable of at least winning a few EU and local election seats prior to 2010. As for Mark Collett, I like what little I see online about Patriotic Alternative, inasmuch as they are at least doing things on the ground, even if those activities are only going on hikes and putting up banners at various places.
It is hard for an outsider like me to come to any firm view as to whether one or the other is more or less worthy or meritorious. I cannot think that either of those sides or groups is “what Britain needs”, as such, but “all roads lead to Rome” is, I suppose, my basic attitude.
It will take more than opposition to the “panicdemic” to make me like Alex Jones, but his main point is worthwhile.
Interesting to note that Jones’s type of free speech would not be permitted in the UK: OFCOM would “unperson” him at once. In fact, Jones would probably end up getting prosecuted on some bs Mickey Mouse charge or other.
People generally tend to think of Sovietism as having come into being purely under conditions of political violence. Much of its consolidation in the early years, however, took place under what were basically conditions of near-chaos. Rudolf Steiner referred, in 1918 or 1919, to the “impossible social conditions” in Russia (it did not become the Soviet Union until 1923 —officially, 22 December 1922—; the 33-year cycle of world politics and society, again).
What conditions were “impossible?” Shortages caused by official policy, weird laws, “rules”, “advice” etc. People getting sacked, quarantined, arrested for crazy small things, or because their faces did not fit in the New Order, or because they were “former people” who remembered that things had once been mainly better. Also, gradually more severe restrictions on movement, particularly travel outside the country.
Does any of this seem familiar? Yes, the old “socialism”, Marxism-Leninism, even social democracy, started to disappear rather fast after 1989 (again, that 33-year cycle), but the essentials are there, meaning especially the lunacy that becomes dogma, with harsh enforcement of crazy “rules”, supposed “laws” etc. Look at what has happened in the UK and in many other countries in 2020-2021.
The facemask nonsense, the arbitrary “rule of six”, “2 metres social distancing”, the absurd enforcement of those and other crazy “rules” and the “advice” (whims) of idiotic ministers etc, enforced by dim and/or brainwashed police. Arrests of people doing perfectly ordinary things such as walking in the country, sitting on park benches, sunbathing on beaches, going for a recreational car or bike ride outside the local area. Oh, and don’t forget the socially-mandated “clapathon”, idiots clapping on command outside their houses, notionally “for the NHS”, which NHS was pared back to a kind of skeleton service in reality.
All underpinned by a huge propaganda “fear campaign” in the msm.
It is hard to people now to understand how the Russian Revolution gradually became a total police state. Why did more people not resist? Why did many people comply, and even support the embedded nonsense? These things are not easy to spot whe they are happening. Look around you.
I am not just talking about the “Covid-19” situation. The pushing of the “Black LIves Matter” nonsense too: every ad with blacks in it, or with the multikulti “family” (often a white woman, often blonde, and a black man as husband figure). The same in dramas, “soaps” etc. Even historical dramas, like the recent one showing Ann Boleyn as a black woman!
None of this is a kind of “accident”. People, and not only in the UK, are being played like balalaikas, and most have no idea about it.
