I was glad when Trump was first elected, and then later re-elected, and for one reason only, i.e. that he would probably not trigger or launch a nuclear war with Russia. To that extent, my “choice” (notional only, because I am not, nor ever have been, a U.S. citizen, though I was once a “resident alien” issued with a Green Card) has been validated by events. However, much of what is happening in the USA now is somewhere between tragedy and farce.

In fact, it is said that that particular video, above, is yet another AI production. Not unlikely, but my point still stands.

On a related topic, how long before a “long-lost piece of AGFA film” is “found”, and will appear to “prove” that German labour prison/labour camps in Poland in the early 1940s “really did” have “gas chambers”?

I wonder…

[many many years ago, a supposed blueprint plan of the Auschwitz camp was supposedly “found” in a Berlin attic. It had “GAS CHAMBER” marked in big capital letters, in case the point was missed by anyone (nothing else on the supposed plan was so marked). It was a one-day-wonder as a news story, and I have heard nothing of it since, I presume because the fakery was a little too obvious]

So 16,500 (in the civil war in Iran) is “genocide“, but 50,000-100,000 (in the Israeli-Jew “war” on mainly unarmed Arab civilians in Gaza) is supposedly not “genocide”. What a world.

The Kiev regime is doomed.

NATO should have been disbanded in or about 1993.

Interesting…

[“This evening, with sorrow, I have decided to resign from my position as an Opposition Shadow Minister and as a member of the Conservative & Unionist Party. Since joining the Conservative Party at the age of 14, I have been a loyal and committed supporter of the principles advocated by Margaret Thatcher that have always underpinned my own political beliefs. However, the time has come to put country before party. The failure of the Conservative Party both when in government and more recently in opposition to actively hold the government to account on the issue of Chagossian self-determination and the defence of British sovereignty, represents a clear red line for me. Since entering Parliament in 2001, I have consistently argued, both from the backbenches and the frontbench, that the right of self-determination of the Chagossian people is sacrosanct, and that they alone should decide the future sovereignty of the Chagos Islands. Regrettably, these concerns have fallen on deaf ears. Both the government and the opposition have been complicit in the surrender of this sovereign British territory to a foreign power. This was made abundantly clear by the failure of Conservative peers to vote down the British Indian Ocean Territory Bill at third reading earlier this month, following direction from the top of the party. Sadly, I now believe that the Conservative Party is irreparably bound to the mistakes of previous governments and unwilling to take meaningful accountability for the poor decisions made over so many issues. Moreover, the views and concerns of constituents such as mine in Romford have been consistently ignored for far too long. Following a conversation earlier this evening with Nigel Farage M.P., I have therefore agreed to join Reform U.K. as its seventh Member of Parliament. It is clear to me that Reform U.K. is now the only political movement that is genuinely willing to fight for the best interests of the United Kingdom. The views and concerns of the majority of the British people must no longer be sidelined. Our country has endured a generation of managed decline. Radical action is now required to reverse the damaging decisions of the past and to forge a new course for Britain – one that firmly places the interests of the British people first.”]

Saturday quiz

Well, this week 6/10, trumping political journalist John Rentoul’s 4/10. I did not know the answers to questions 8 and 9, and could not think quickly enough to get the right answers to questions 1 and 4 (which I “really knew” somewhere or other). So 6/10…

Well, looks like the first sign of a thaw…

It is a long time since I studied Public International Law, I think 1985-86, but if I remember aright, seizure of a ship on the high seas (i.e. not in territorial waters) has always been regarded as an act of war. Of course, in many non-oceanic sea-waterways, the waters will be territorial waters, complicating the issue (that’s assuming I remember my studies, of forty years ago, correctly).

The Kiev regime is losing anything up to 2,000 soldiers a day. Perhaps more commonly, 1,000 per day. Still huge. The press-gangs hunt down suitable “recruits” on the streets of towns and cities, but to be “recruited” means brutal though brief training, then a one-way ride to the crumbling front lines of the regime.

[“This is important. The Restore Britain team has been doing vast research on the number of arrests by the following nationalities across every police force. The Government refuses to release the data, so we’ve found it ourselves. Afghanistan. Albania. Eritrea. Iran. Iraq. Syria. In Kent for example, Afghan arrests have soared from 35 in 2017 to 174 in 2024. Albanians? In Kent alone, 35 in 2017 to 413 in 2024. Albanians in Norfolk? Up from 9 in 2017 to a staggering 112 in 2024. We have the data from right across Britain, and we are going to release it in full. These numbers, when fully published, will destroy the remaining argument for mass immigration.“]

I wonder whether Rupert Lowe might have been better to have stayed with Reform, whatever its flaws, until after the next General Election, for tactical reasons.

[“The Times appears to have fully entered Cuckoo Land It can no longer read the mood of the British people Instead of acknowledging how the tectonic plates have moved behind Reform and a repudiation of the Westminster-BBC consensus it clings to the fantasy of a Tory/Uniparty recovery What The Times means when it calls for a return to “solid ground on the pragmatic centre-right” is a place where the British people are not allowed to criticise mass immigration, the collapse of our borders, woke ideology, the ECHR, or a long list of other disasters it’s brand of Boomer Liberal Toryism has inflicted on Britain People are sick of being told to “avoid the culture wars”, “intolerance”, and “populists” by the very people who jammed their failing project down everybody’s throats for years and now have the audacity to criticise those who are actually trying to fix the mess they have created Would like to hear less from the architects of this dismal project and much more from bold new columnists who actually represent the mood of modern Britain …”]

Farage should not welcome Con Party retreads into Reform.

As I have long predicted on the blog, Reform is rapidly becoming part of the System.

The UK is now a banana republic without bananas (and also stuck with an unwanted and/or pointless monarchy).

Oh, great…let’s reduce the IQ level of the country still further…

Our animal friends.

[“Love for animals— the Fuhrer has that before anything else!“]
[“The Fuhrer as friend of animals“]

The Jews (meaning the extreme Jewish/Zionist lobby, who are effectively —and sometimes literally— agents of Israel) have been cheated of their full pound of flesh. Now, despite the West Midlands Police Chief Constable having been forced to resign, “they” still whine and complain via, inter alia, propaganda sheets such as the Telegraph, in which “their” influence is pervasive.

Matt Goodwin is part of the whole puppet-show of non-Jews (as far as I know) who nonetheless play the part of being puppets for the (((puppetmasters))) pulling the strings. To me, that is the disgrace.

Philp, yet another shameless Israel-puppet.

The politicians, civil servants, “activists” etc who mandated this should be rooted out, identified, and punished.

Rare that I agree with Dan Hodges, but he surely expresses here what very many are thinking.

As for Jenrick himself, his former actions in government proved that he has no real principles, is corrupt, and (also) tied-in with the Jewish-Zionist Israel-lobby element. He is just not a decent person overall.

Julius Caesar once said, “better to be first man in Gaul than second in Rome“, not a sentiment that I like, and Jenrick obviously also disagrees with Caesar.

Had Jenrick stayed in the Con Party, he might have replaced Carpetbagger Kemi as leader, had he retained his Commons seat, whereas in Reform UK, he may retain his Commons seat as a Reform MP, but will never be leader of Reform.

I suppose he calculates that, if he can stay on as MP after 2029, Farage (as notional PM) will appoint him to Cabinet.

Quite…

I agree, as far as the headline statement is concerned; the devil, though, is in the detail. I have no confidence that Reform, suffused with pro-Israel and Jewish-lobby connections and views (not to mention non-European candidates and officers) and unwilling to do the “full monty” of what might be necessary to save this country and its people, has the ability to rule properly, or to accomplish very much.

Brava!

Brava!

Don’t expect intelligent policy, or any erudition at all (legal or general), from monkey-on-a-stick Lammy.

Talking about “justice delayed”, I have not heard whether the case of the so-called [redacted words...] accused of criminal damage to the property of Starmer-stein (aka “Tel Aviv Keith”) will come to trial this year or not. Seems to have been well and truly kicked down the road. Very odd. I wonder what the truth might be.

Incidentally, while looking for information on the above, I discovered that not only does Starmer’s Jewish wife belong to the Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St. John’s Road, St. John’s Wood, but Starmer himself also belongs to it. I thought only Jews could actually belong, but maybe I am mistaken.

I often used to pass that quite impressive building, which was only a few minutes’ walk from my then home in Little Venice. That was in the 1980s and early 1990s, mainly.

[Liberal Jewish Synagogue, St. John’s Wood Road, London N.W.8]

As, I think, blogged many years ago, I once knew (from about 1979 to about 25 years ago), a girl who converted to Judaism in that synagogue (that particular sect permits that). She had very belatedly discovered, in the early 1990s, that she was of part-Jewish origin (either a half or, perhaps more likely, a quarter). I had already noted something somehow un-English in her looks and attitudes, and she was then told, still in early adulthood, that her parentage was partly Italian. Maybe she was part Italian-Jew, I do not know.

The young lady, as she then was, was very excitable. On thinking that she was part-Italian, suddenly everything at her home was Italian. Food was pasta, wine was Frascati, and the music was either Italian opera or the theme from The Godfather.

She had then become enamoured of everything Irish, and indeed nationalist/Republican Irish. Now her home contained Irish flags, books of prose or poetry by everyone from Yeats to the latest Irish authors, and the music consisted mainly of rebel songs from the Wolfe Tones and others. She even became seriously interested in Irish Republican politics, to the extent of meeting Gerry Adams in West Belfast at some gathering or other (he apparently said to her that “we don’t think you are a spy“, comfortingly enough). She even ended up having an affair with a leading (and married) Sinn Fein person who had been in the I.R.A. and also been, at one point, imprisoned in the UK for serious terrorist offences.

The Frascati had been replaced by Irish whiskey and Guinness.

The upstairs tenant of her small house in South London, a pleasant but slightly dim fellow who worked at Burton’s clothing store in Oxford Street, expressed his concern that anti-terror police might raid the house and that he “might get shot by mistake“! Thankfully, that never happened.

After that episode of Hibernophilia, or connected with it, that still-youngish woman had become interested in Roman Catholicism. Now the Irish political stuff had to share her domestic space with plaster saints, books about martyrs and religious philosophers, and so on.

It was then that her father dropped the bombshell that she was partly-Jewish. Suddenly, she was taking instruction at “schul” (i.e. the St. John’s Wood synagogue) to convert to Judaism, and the remaining Italian, Irish, and Roman Catholic books and bits and pieces were being nudged out by the new wave of Jewish items: a small Israeli flag, one of those multi-armed candleabra, books about Jew “holocaust” “survivors”, Jew comedians (Ben Elton) and films on video with a Jewish element (I recall watching Leon the Pig Farmer with her [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_the_Pig_Farmer].

That woman was not too pleased with me when I joked that the way in which the Jewish/Israeli bits and pieces had taken over most of her space from the previous “owners” reflected what had happened in UK society over the decades.

In fact, her general character deteriorated quite a lot in that period.

Incidentally, not having met her since 2002 or 2003, I do not know whether she ever became officially Jewish, and I have no idea with what or with whom might be her “current infatuation“, as George Smiley puts it (referring to his flighty wife) in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

Life is very strange at times. Perhaps we shall learn how strange it can be when that Starmer-connected trial proceeds, if it ever does.

Blast from the past

“I saw the following from a blog post of about 3 years ago:

“Moral Alignment” test

Saw this: https://www.idrlabs.com/moral-alignment/test.php.

You are 55.8% good, 18.3% chaotic, making you neutral good.

Not quite a rousing vote of approbation, but not as harshly marked as my ideological enemies would prefer.

Neutral Good

People who are Neutral Good are guided by their conscience and typically act altruistically, with only secondary regard for whether their actions are lawful or in line with cultural expectations or traditions. Neutral Good individuals have no problems with what is lawful as such, and nor are they rebels by nature, but they believe in furthering kindness and good deeds through whatever means seem necessary to them. If fostering good means supporting an organized society, then that is what must be done. If good can only come about through the overthrow of the existing social order, then so be it. For many who are Neutral Good, insistence on either lawfulness or rebellion is seen as detriments to or distractions from the greater goal of promoting true kindness in the world.” [https://www.idrlabs.com/moral-alignment/test.php].

In many places, Reform is currently polling at 4x or more as compared to where it was at GE2024. If Reform were to score even around 30% or so in a tight 3-horse race, it might well unseat her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_West_Essex#Elections_in_the_2020s.

I am of the firm belief that the Conservative Party vote will decline to about 15%, and possibly to 10%, by 2029. Age-demographics, mainly, but also the rise of, and “Conservatization” of, Reform.

Both halal and kosher slaughter must be totally banned. If that means that the “communities” involved feel unable to remain in the UK, so much the better. Not just a win, not even just a win-win, but a “win-win-win”.

Interesting, not least because the poll indicates that 35% of the voters back either Reform or the more genuine nationalist sentiment presented by Lowe.

The “Overton Window” continues to move.

There is no doubt that, if the USA assumes power over Greenland, the geopolitical position of the USA in the Arctic region will have improved, though it already has a base there; however, that presumed geopolitical advantage will have been bought (perhaps literally, if the Greenlanders are to be bribed) at the cost of (also) US relations with Denmark and most of the rest of Europe.

Elon Musk is not wrong. Shocking, and also embarrassing for the UK.

Most of the repression of free speech in the UK, 90% or more, maybe even 99%, is driven by the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, and is carried out by, or by reason of, the “activism” (suborning by, demanding by, whining by) Israel-connected and Israeli Embassy-connected orgs such as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].

The pro-Israel Jews call it “lawfare”, meaning the abuse of English and Scottish laws, and legal systems, including prosecutors and police, to shut down views which they want silenced.

More applicable to the UK than USA.

I would say that there should be free speech, i.e. speech and other expression, free of criminal sanction, and on any social, political, medical, scientific, or historical topic. The only spoken or written words that should attract criminal sanction would be direct threats to individuals, or to small groups (e.g. the local sports team, a particular team of Sky News or BBC News journalists, a specified individual church building or other specified religious building); there may be a few exceptions to that general rule of freedom, e.g. official secrets.

I cannot agree with Goodwin on several topics, including a few expressed there, in that short clip, but he is right about Starmer-stein’s fake Labour. Hopeless, anti-British, and incompetent to boot.

That interference would make little impact were a goodly part of the Iranian population not thoroughly tired of the socially and religiously backward rule of the mullahs (in power for the past 46 years).

The only statements suggesting otherwise came from some Western media outlets, which were later refuted. Then follows a second, even more blatant lie: Trump claimed that the oil was being unloaded. This did not happen. The tanker was empty. This is clearly visible in the photo published by the US European Command and is confirmed by numerous media reports, which say the same thing.“]

Hard to know what to believe, but it is hard to imagine why the Americans would seize an oil tanker empty of any oil, unless their intelligence was mistaken (or unless the operation is just shadow-boxing).

Whatever the truth of that, the fact remains that this action is state piracy. How can that be denied?

It is a modern example of the actions of Francis Drake and others some 400 years ago, or of the actions of British and German “surface raiders” during the two 20thC world wars: see

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/breaking-idiot-brothers-leave-teen-36521826

Two “idiot” brothers left a teenage girl critically injured while racing each other at 90mph, a court has heard.

Harrison Taylor, 19, and his 21-year-old brother Henry were racing on the Sandbanks peninsula in Poole, Dorset, when the incident happened at around 1am on Boxing Day in 2023. Harrison was in a Mercedes A200 and his older brother in a BMW 135i. The court heard the brothers had been gifted the powerful cars to help them get over their parents splitting up.

The court heard Harrison was going “pedal to the metal” when he lost control of the Mercedes on a bend and collided with a gatepost of a multi-million pound mansion. The BMW then ploughed into the back of the Mercedes, sending it flying forwards into a garden wall.

Mia Savage, a front seat passenger in the Mercedes, was trapped in the crumpled vehicle and had to be cut free from the wreckage as her mother, who had been called to the scene of the accident, watched on. The girl, who was 17 at the time, was airlifted to hospital with life-changing injuries that included a shattered left femur, a fractured neck, broken arm, eight broken ribs and severe internal bleeding from a severed spleen, split diaphragm and liver laceration.

The teen underwent hours of complex surgery and was in an induced coma for a week. She was then in traction for her arms and one of her legs and had a fixed neck brace for 12 weeks.

She also lost out on a sports scholarship at the private Clayesmore School due to her injury. Following her ordeal, she was unable to return to school for months and ended up with lesser grades which meant she was not accepted at her chosen university.

The two brothers pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and arrived at Bournemouth Crown Court today, but they avoided being sent to jail. Judge Robert Pawson let them off with suspended sentences due to their young ages and previous good character. He banned them from driving for three years.

Miss Savage’s mother Karen Bulgarelli, a lawyer, said she was disappointed with the outcome. She said: “They have ruined three people’s lives but they are all clapping each other on the back that they’re walking out.”

Regular readers of the blog will know that I am far from a “hanger and flogger”, and there is certainly a place, often a place, for leniency and/or mercy in sentencing, but the victim in the instant case has been disrespected, and not given at least the satisfaction that the perpetrators have been punished.

While hearing what the learned judge said relating to the youth, clean record, and absence of alcohol/drug usage by the defendants, their egregious behaviour has left a relatively-innocent victim in a poor condition, and with far poorer prospects than was the case prior to the “accident”.

Had I ever become a judge, I should (I think) have been generally clement, but not in a case of this sort, so the defendants in this case are lucky that they were sentenced by the judge mentioned, and not by me.

cf. the fraudulent claim by the “CAA”, a year or so ago, that its chief, liar and (in my opinion) perjurer, Gideon Falter, had been barred by the Metropolitan Police from crossing a road by reason of his looking “visibly Jewish“.

They “demanded” the resignation of the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police on that occasion. He refused to play ball, many others were aware of the many fraudulent stunts attempted by Falter, “Slitherman” and other “CAA” types, so the scam failed, that time, as have others, e.g. the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe stunt attempted by dishonest Jew lawyer Mark Lewis, his wife/carer/CAA operative Mandy Blumenthal, and dishonest young Jewish newspaper scribbler and “CAA” supporter (now no longer scribbling) Sabrina Miller.

The Russian protest seems somehow half-hearted. Maybe Putin is waiting to see what Trump’s actions will do in terms of splitting and splintering NATO. Same with the Greenland situation. Fertile fields for “conspiracy” speculation.

If NATO effectively ceases to carry weight, a shipload of oil is a small price to pay.

Meanwhile, Russian forces are still, every day, advancing across the fertile plains of eastern Ukraine.

Also, the wider ripples, ranging from lessened influence by members of traditional London clubs, to changes affecting, inter alia, the Foreign Office and other great offices of state, MI5, SIS, the police hierarchy etc.

The [Israeli] Jews, backed by the worldwide web of Jew-Zionists, find it easy to attack unarmed Arab civilians using advanced and remote-controlled weapons, but “what goes around comes around”, and I have no doubt at all that Israel will one day (perhaps sooner than “they” think) face equally devastating attack.

[“A senior member of Hope Not Hate was convicted of paedophile sex offences yesterday.

Hope Not Hate is a far-left group connected to the Labour Party that attacks Labour’s political opponents by smearing them as “racist” or “far-right”. Hope Not Hate’s other senior members include Matthew Collins, who was filmed admitting to attacking women with a hammer.

The boss, Nick Lowles, is little better – at the height of the Southport riots he shared incendiary misinformation claiming that British rioters were attacking Muslim women with acid. A straight up lie that likely encouraged Muslim men to attack Brits. Even when advised by the police that he was wrong, Lowles did not delete his post. Unlike people on the right, he was never prosecuted. The Hope Not Hate paedo, Liron Woodcock-Velleman, was also in the Labour Party. He campaigned with Sir Keir Starmer and was described as an “ally” of Sadiq Khan.

Hope Not Hate receive taxpayer funding. Their staff spend long hours online using anonymous identities to try and catch any opponent of the Labour Party saying something they can smear as “bigoted”. Were taxpayers’ funds used in the course of Liron’s paedophilia? Did Hope Not Hate’s technologies and techniques facilitate his child abuse? This organisation stinks. It should have been closed down years ago due to the fact that it’s basically the attack arm of the Labour Party, using public funds to smear their critics and opponents. (And they paint their activity as just “combatting hate” when it’s blatantly politically aligned and senior members have spoken at Communist events promoting an ideology that killed and tortured millions). Of course, Hope Not Hate are lauded by the BBC, Channel 4 and the Guardian. But now that senior members have been outed as committing horrific crimes – misogynist hammer attacks, paedophilia – its position is untenable. They need to be shut down and investigated. What else are Hope Not Hate hiding?“]

“Hope not Hate” consists of Jews, mostly. The half-Jew Israeli/US agent and former Labour MP, Ruth Smeeth, now posing as “Baroness” Anderson in the House of Lords (“elevated” a few years ago by part-Jew “Conservative” Prime Minister “Boris”-idiot), is heavily involved. She is now married to Gareth Snell, Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_Snell; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Anderson,_Baroness_Anderson_of_Stoke-on-Trent.

Another member of the “Hope not Hate” cabal is Patrik “The Rat” Hermannson.

The most shocking aspect of “Hope not Hate” is that the UK taxpayer is funding many of its activities. Other donors include the billionaire Rausing family mugs (and pro-Zionists).

Israel is the hub of a worldwide web of crime, exploitation, and illicit control over whole populations via corrupt executives and legislatures. First remove that central hub, then the web generally.

I support neither Maduro nor Trump. Having said that, Trump’s USA is the only power on Earth constantly looking for opportunities to increase its global control by military means. China has not yet reached that point.

Interesting, but always remember “to win without war— that is the supreme excellence” [Sun Tzu].

You will never hear a Chinese leader directly threaten Europe with war. No, but Europe is flooded with Chinese people. Few are agents of Chinese Intelligence. They do not have to be. This is a long term project for China. They want to take over slowly, almost by osmosis.

The same applies to Chinese influence in Russia, especially in the East of Siberia and, particularly, the former Soviet Far East. The Chinese do not threaten, do not act belligerently; they simply trade and, where permitted, move into Russian territory as business people, farmers etc.

Not sure what tweeter Sophie Meaden means by “law suit“. Is she being prosecuted? If so, by the State, or maybe by the malicious Jew-Zionist troublemakers of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”? Or is she herself suing someone or some organization? I do not know.

Meanwhile, Starmer-stein’s misgovernment is moving migrant-invaders into British social housing, thus preventing British people, including poor families and even pensioners, from getting a home. Incredibly, the foreign invaders are being prioritized ahead of needy and desperate British people.

People are trying to save because the safety net of social security (renamed, significantly, in the American word “welfare”), has been radically cut back over the past 20 years. Savings are a security blanket.

In fact, the so-called “austerity” policies of David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne etc shrank the real British economy hugely from 2010-2015 and even later, and the recovery from that was ruined by the wholly unnecessary measures taken in response to the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic nonsense (“lockdowns” etc).

Saturday quiz

Well, this week 5/10, trumping the 3/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. The ones I knew were questions 2, 3, 8, 9, and 10.

I agree, though there is room for small or limited exceptional cases.

About 10 years ago (and on the blog from about 7 years ago), I was suggesting that Burnham might lead Labour. He is not there yet, but is circling ever-nearer as the Starmer-stein misgovernment looks like finally crashing and burning.

Untermenschen of that sort are often afraid of Alsatians.

Europe has to be cleaned out.

The last tweet refers to that woman shown being given a telling-off by Piers Morgan. Her name is Natasha Hausdorff, a former solicitor but now at the Bar of England and Wales: https://6pumpcourt.co.uk/barrister/natasha-hausdorff/; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natasha_Hausdorff#Ancestry_and_education.

This is her Israeli advocacy and snoop organization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Lawyers_for_Israel.

I have no idea whether or not she is a dual Israeli/UK passport-holder. Probably, in my opinion.

“UKLFI is known for launching numerous legal claims against what it sees as anti-Israel activities, sometimes described as “lawfare”.[4] It challenged the UK Government over its suspension of 30 arms export licences to Israel and raised a complaint about the International Criminal Court’s seeking of arrest warrants against Israeli ministers.[4]

[Wikipedia]

As to “lawfare” by UKLFI (and other Jew-Zionist organizations in the UK), see below. UKLFI was the complainant in 2014 when I was wrongfully (and, it later turned out, actually unlawfully) disbarred in 2016.

In 2014, UKLFI put up some broken-down Jew-Zionist barrister (of whom I had never previously heard), a denizen of the heavily-Jewish Hampstead Garden Suburb, to make the official complaint against me. That Jew in fact never made an appearance at the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal itself (a polite and not unreasonable barrister from the Bar Standards Board conducted the quasi-trial “prosecution” before a 5-person panel chaired by a retired Circuit Judge), but the said Jew did draft a considerable amount of preliminary paperwork, letters etc.

“UKLFI”, like the notorious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], operates out of a postbox, its real address kept secret.

The UK has to clear out these Israel snoopers and abusers of English law and procedure. They are effectively arms of the Israeli Embassy in London, and of the State of Israel. See below for my account of the matter and related matters:

and (relating to my free speech trial of 2023-2024, procured by the lying and perjuring “CAA”, another arm of the Jewish/Israel “lawfare” conspiracy in England):

I notice that the “CAA” and “UKLFI” still share a number of members or supporters, including some “patrons”, officials etc. One is “Baroness” Deech, who at the time of the 2014 complaint of “UKLFI” to the Bar Standards Board about me, was not only a “Patron” of “UKLFI” but also the head of…the Bar Standards Board!

A telling example of how “they” worm their way in, subverting law and rights.

After my wrongful and unlawful disbarment of 2016, “UKLFI” mainly shut up about me, except for a comment in the Press by the old Jew barrister who had signed-off on the original complaint, but the “CAA” took up the slack, starting to crow about me and about my having been disbarred. The liar and perjurer Gideon Falter, head of the malicious “CAA” org, was immediately on the telephone to compliant newspaper scribblers about me.

Once you allow a group, consisting of citizens and fervent supporters of an alien foreign power, to interfere with and abuse your laws, you might as well be a colonized subject-state, which is in fact, or in effect, what Britain has become.

Very true. Compare the original Inspector Morse (1987-2000) with both the (filmed much later— 2006-2015) Lewis, and then Endeavour (2013-2023).

Endeavour, set the earliest (1960s, then early/mid 1970s) but filmed last, is replete with blacks and other non-whites, despite that being totally ahistorical. I knew Berkshire and, to a lesser extent, Oxfordshire, as a child of the 1960s [b.1956]; even in the 1970s, Oxford was almost entirely white British, even at the University.

Inspector Morse, set in, and filmed in, the late 1980s and the 1990s, does not have very many non-white characters.

Mind-bending propaganda on the large scale..

It may also be that, with 165,000 (albeit unpaid) subscribers on YouTube, the lady posting may be able to derive a modest income from the channel. (nb: since writing that last, a few hours ago, I have discovered that YouTube has cut off all income to Russia-based YouTube channels).

Zelensky and his cabal should have been eliminated on the first day of this terrible, protracted and arguably unnecessary war.

Surprised to see such disorder.

Not just Jews in Israel, but a high proportion of those living outside Israel.

That is especially true of the USA, where the major TV news networks never give a balanced view, particularly on the situation in the Middle East. There is always a pro-Israel, pro-Jewish slant, at the very least.

[“Ritter: No negotiations with Kyiv after the attack on Putin’s residence Negotiations with Kyiv are impossible after the Ukrainian attack on Vladimir Putin’s residence, said former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter. “The current Ukrainian government should not be seen as a party to negotiations, but as a terrorist organization that must be completely destroyed”, he wrote.”]

2025 brought a new reality, though. Iran showed that it could penetrate Israeli defences. Iran is now building up its offensive capabilities. Hypersonic missiles etc. In the long term, maybe even medium term, Israel is doomed.

Convention binds… until a crisis demands the Crown acts for the people.

As if Charles would rock the System boat in that way! Still, interesting idea.

What we have at present is a notionally “elected” dictatorship, and one of absolute clowns, as well as agents of Israel. Fake “Labour” was elected by default, because the equally fake “Conservative” misgovernment had to be binned in 2024; voting Labour was the only realistic way to do that. However, as pointed out on this blog since the 2024 General Election, Labour was the choice of only 4 people out of every 12 that voted, and only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters. It never had a genuine democratic mandate.

Now we see Starmer-stein’s dictatorship threatening to abolish the jury trial system, and actually cancelling elections. The British people have the right to rise up, in these circumstances.

Scientists could examine my remains after death and determine that I was male, estimate my age, identify my ancestry as European, and even trace genetic continuity with populations that have lived in Britain for centuries. Yet, when ancestry intersects with modern identity politics, we’re told biology no longer applies. Instead, whether someone is considered English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish is reduced to a citizenship test, a checklist of historical trivia on kings and queens, and a piece of paper, as if that overrides biological and ancestral reality.“]

Though a picturesque survival, foxhunting has outlived its time, and its cruelty and, indeed, sadism, cannot be tolerated any longer.

The hunts, or many/most of them, are flouting the existing law, which allows them to trail-hunt but not to fox-hunt. They must therefore be closed down.

As for the foxhunters themselves, I have never met a decent one.

As the UK slides in terms of living standards, standards of (real) education, standards of behaviour etc, as it becomes even more a multiracial, multicultural mess, more and more highly-qualified British people will try to get to wherever they feel some semblance of an advanced society still exists.
