“A farmer who was filmed dragging his white husky along the road while it was tied to the back of his car before she died has avoided jail.
Kim Norman Rendall, 65, was filmed callously dragging his pet pooch Daisy by a rope for around 200 metres, along Timsbury Road in High Littleton, near Bath.
Bristol Crown Court heard numerous motorists witnessed the horror and tried to stop Rendall by beeping and flashing their lights at his red Nissan Micra. But he refused to get help for Daisy and later left her to die in a cow barn.
Daisy was eventually found by police but was left severely injured in the incident on the afternoon of April 17 this year and had to be put to sleep nine days later.
Rendall was sentenced today to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, 300 hours of unpaid work alongside a 20 year disqualification from having or keeping animals with the exception of cattle, and fish.

Inadequate. The retired policemen recently convicted for a few trivial jokes and remarks on WhatsApp got about the same.
Animals are still not adequately protected, including protection by deterrence.
If ever an animal cruelty case demanded at least a token few —or several, or more— weeks in the clink, this was it.
The matter is now in the hands of higher powers, and also, perhaps, those of local residents.
“Sir Keir Starmer‘s immigration policy is based on a lie. A well-intentioned lie, a lie designed to make us feel better about ourselves; but a lie nonetheless, a lie that will eventually bring down any Government he gets to lead.
He trotted out his falsehood again and again in interviews yesterday. Labour‘s solution to illegal immigration was to ‘break the gangs’.
Ah, what a delightful idea. Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could blame the Channel crossings on a few evil people traffickers?
We could then regard every illegal entrant as a victim — the highest accolade our debased age bestows. We could imagine them all as desperate families who have been exploited by callous mafiosi. We could divert resentment of illegal immigration away from the illegals themselves.
The trouble is, it’s piffle. The idea that demand would dry up if there were no middlemen is a fantasy. Blaming people-traffickers is sheer deflection.
We are, in other words, just starting a new age of mass migration, a völkerwanderung. How we deal with it will define the politics of every wealthy country. I have no doubt that much of the legal infrastructure we put in place after World War II, including the UN Refugee Convention (1951) and the European Convention on Human Rights (1953) will end up being dismantled.“

As Hannan says, the post-1945 legal architecture was never designed to allow potentially —and quite literally— hundreds of millions of migrant-invaders the “right” to invade Europe. That is the scale of the danger facing us.

“A third of both Gen Z and Millennials admit they get so nervous when they eat out they are afraid to order their own food – and have to ask someone to do it for them.
A new study found ‘menu anxiety’ is most felt by those aged between 18 and 24 as 34 per cent confess they ask others to choose and speak to the waiter for them.
And when they do finally order, a third (33 per cent) of 25-34 year old’s will choose what to eat based on what will look best on social media.“

Is this a sign that evolution is telling us that the present society does not deserve to survive in its present form?

“Britain’s Net Zero minister flies 7,000 miles from the Cop28 climate summit and back again just to vote on Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda Bill.”
[Daily Mail]
I saw about 10 mins of Sky News coverage of that ludicrous COP28 jamboree. Some woman, a total clown, was talking about how vital it all was (just like it was last time, and in Copenhagen in 2009, when it turned out that the idiots could not even organize their own conference without creating chaos).
This is akin to the Covid “panicdemic”— those preaching from on high, from their massively-polluting private jets, do not really believe the bs they want the masses to believe (and so be compliant with all manner of “official” demands and restrictions).
“One in five young Americans believe the Holocaust did not happen, a shock poll has found.
The survey, by The Economist and YouGov., included 1,500 people ranging in age from 18 to over 65 years old who were asked a series of questions about the massacre of six million Jews.
Approximately 20 percent of people aged 18 to 29 agreed with the statement ‘the Holocaust is a myth’ and even more believed the death toll has been exaggerated.
“Another survey asked 1,500 Americans if they agreed or disagreed with the statement, ‘The Holocaust has been exaggerated.’
For the 18 to 29 group, 23 percent agreed, and 26 percent neither agreed or disagreed.“
So at least 49%…
People are waking up to the fraud and fakery.
The msm bias and absurdity is plain: the Daily Mail scribbler thinks that “the holocaust” is an “event“…
Worth reading. In our “free” country, I am effectively barred from commenting (thanks to “you know who”), so I shall not, not at present anyway.
“A British advertising firm has allegedly pulled a billboard campaign that pictured Israelis kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 following ‘an unusual volume of complaints from the public’.
The campaign was organised by the Israeli Embassy…
London Lites terminated what was meant to be a two-week ad campaign on boards throughout the capital after just six days, Jewish News reports.
The company reportedly said that it had received thousands of complaints in response to the posters, which picture Israeli hostages and feature the now-famous hashtag ‘Bring Them Home Now’.
The Israeli Embassy in London said in response to the adverts being taken down: ‘We regret that the “London Lites” company caved to the threats of an extreme minority in the UK, which forcefully tries to limit freedom of expression.
‘The Embassy is considering further steps against the company.“
[Daily Mail]
So the Israeli Embassy deprecates “the threats of an extreme minority in the UK, which forcefully tries to limit freedom of expression.“
Ha. They should talk to their collaborators in the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] in that case. That malicious cabal is engaged in a persistent campaign to do just that— to limit and kill off the freedom of expression of British people, as witness my own persecution over the past decade, culminating recently in actual prosecution, a prosecution procured by political pressure exerted by the “CAA”, and the Jew-Zionist lobby generally, on the CPS, right up to the level of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Indeed, it is the “CAA” that has recently had vans driving around London carrying large illuminated posters of the Gaza hostages. The “CAA” is a major collaborator of the Israeli Embassy in this and other activities.

If I say so myself, who shouldn’t, that blog post has held up rather well over the intervening 5-6 years. I hope that more people see it (there were a couple of hits today) before the (((usual suspects))) manage to use the suborned legal system to censor or even temporarily remove the blog.
“Why” is easy to understand. Pseudo-liberal “democracy” has not been providing the people with what they need. However, “populism” without social nationalism becomes merely a fake, a front for those who are under the thumb of Israel and the Jewish lobby. Think Farage, Tice, “Reform UK”. What think you, Monsieur Goodwin? Oh…
It is even possible that the Conservative Party will get a nationwide vote-share of well below 25%, or even below 20%, as even formerly die-hard Con voters are turned off by the sheer ineptitude of the bunch of clowns pretending to be a Cabinet and Government.
Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] puts the Con Party result for 2024, on the above premises (based on a 16% Con vote), as a total of 39 MPs (even a 20% vote might give the Con Party only 59 MPs).
Much, of course, depends on whether the Labour vote holds up or not. If it falls below 40% nationwide, the result might be very different.
Still, Goodwin must be right as far as “historic defeat” is concerned. In 1945, the Con Party was left with 197 MPs; in 1997 only 165. At present, it seems as if the 2024 result might be even more striking: somewhere between 25 and 125 MPs.
Ha ha! Slava!
