Readers may be surprised to see me repost tweets from now-binned former MP [High Peak], Robert Largan, a conscious tool of the Jewish lobby, but I certainly agree with him about the necessity for architecture to be both beautiful and functional.

I have not been to Dresden, though I was once, in 1988, not far away. As to Manchester, I appeared a few times c.2007 as Counsel at the County Court, at that time situated at Crown Square; I believe that the Crown Court still sits there.

I have, once only, seen Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester, but that was even earlier, sometime in the mid-1980s, maybe 1985 or 1986, when the Georgian State Dance ensemble was performing in and around the city (they also went to Preston). The dancers, stage people, interpreters, KGB, and me (unpaid, and uncredited in any way) were all staying in a fairly ghastly hotel called the Britannia, not far from those Gardens (not even a park, but just a flat area of grass, with a few very low and scrubby hedges). I wandered down to pass the time one early evening. Once was enough.

Incidentally, I also saw the Manchester Royal Infirmary, the main hospital, because one of the Georgian dancers had cut his hand right down to the bone as he and others were practising with their swords (part of their spectacular dance act). The swords were razor-sharp, sharpened daily in order to create the sparks that flew during the performance.

The interpreters, including my then girlfriend, were all busy with the performance that evening, so I was asked to accompany the dancer (who only spoke Georgian and Russian, no English) to the hospital in a taxi.

At the hospital, I tried to have him seen to at once (there was a lot of waiting around), and I think we were seen slightly ahead of time, though not soon enough for the Georgian, who though pleasant had the impatience typical of his countrymen. The nurses (if my memory serves) were both pretty and pleasant, as well as efficient (once deployed). So the Georgian survived to fight (onstage) again, and indeed I believe he was the one chosen to meet Mrs. Thatcher when she visited either Moscow or Tbilisi (I think the latter) in a later year.

Those dancers certainly put on a superb show (which I saw for free in Manchester, Preston and some other places). The women in their long costumes seemed to glide rather than walk or dance.

A long time ago now, nearly 40 years…

Largan’s comment also refers to the recent statement by thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner, re. Starmer-Labour’s apparent intent to build millions of ugly hutches, in the once green and pleasant countryside, in which to stable migrant-invaders.

MSM lies

So a narrative has been created and is spreading out across mainstream media. I saw it this morning on both BBC News and Sky News.

The narrative goes something like this: “a tiny group of ‘far-right’ social media influencers incited a larger group — but still a tiny proportion of the population— to smash things, to riot, and to express ‘hate’ against non-whites and especially Muslims, but ‘the community’ gathered in huge numbers to beat off their attempts to sow ‘division’.“

In reality, there were fairly large gatherings here and there in protest against what has been happening in the UK, especially as regards migration-invasion, and especially what has been developing in the large cities, over the last 30 years. A much smaller group of silly people went further, looting shops and playing into the hands of the System, which then went into “police state” dictatorial mode. “Useful idiots” also started to demand the shutdown of all free speech platforms, such as Twitter/X.

At the same time, the BBC and Sky started to show a Soviet-style melange of grey-haired people in churches praying for “peace”, and a few large crowds of supposed “antifascists” (posing as “the real citizens” etc).

London has a Metro-area population of 15M, so a crowd of 5,000 or even 15,000 is really a very small percentage, not even a tenth of 1%. In reality, it seems that even the largest “counter-protest” (at Walthamstow in N.E. London) consisted of only about 1,000 persons, many from elsewhere: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c623g0xnrero.

The photo from Brighton, below, seems to show an enormous crowd of “counter-protesters”, but in reality consists of only about 500 people: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3d9e3e573o

The lesson is— “don’t trust the mainstream media”.

The elephant in the room is mass immigration, which continues, day after day. 100-1,000 daily across the Channel, illegally; also, another 3,000 or so “legally”, by air and sea, every day.

I imagine that the present protests and their riotous offshoots will die out…for now. As to what might happen in a year’s time, or 10 or 20 years, we shall see. I don’t mean street protests that, in themselves, achieve little, but political and para-political upheavals.

The DDR (East Germany) could not hold back popular discontent in the end. Do Starmer and Yvette Cooper think that they can hold back the tide?

…and look at that stupid white (“antifascist”?) woman in a yellow jerkin, standing there smiling inanely as the untermensch advocates mass murder…

I agreed at the time (pre-GE 2024) with Matt Goodwin, and we have both already been proven correct,

Double most of those figures if you substitute “10 years” with “20 years”.

Inevitable, in short, sooner or later. Not a traditional “civil war” though, as I have remarked in the past. A multiform civil/social/ideological/racial conflict, and one without large set-piece battles.

I imagine that the children of one family will need time to adjust. They apparently know no Russian, and were unaware that they themselves are Russian. Psychological problems seem likely.

There it is— “two-tier policing” from “Two-Tier Keir”.

Were I to say that non-Europeans should be eliminated from the UK and the rest of Europe, even were I not to directly incite it, nor specify a method (unlike the untermensch in question), I have no doubt that the Hampshire police (in their role as part of England’s new poundland Stasi) would once again be knocking at my door, and once again be subjecting me to boring nuisance at the very least.

The contenders seem to be one or two white English, one part-Jew, one mixed -race African/English, one full African, and one Indian. Most are pretty brainless, too.

Ashcroft will not be unaware that at least one reason no-one is much interested in the would-be “leaders” is because the Conservative Party is now a total irrelevance. It cannot even make much of an impact in the talking-shop of the Westminster monkeyhouse. Not for the next several years. Maybe never.

Jesus H. Christ! (with apologies to Father Robinson)…what a total waste of space the above creature is, and what a total traitor to European race and culture.

The fact is, whatever happens in the rest of 2024, we know that the end result will be decided in later years, and not in police stations, or in courts, or in the Westminster monkeyhouse.

Many and indeed almost all of the other problems of the UK have been caused, or made much worse, by the migration-invasion that started as long ago as the 1950s, became a river by the 1980s, and became a torrent after 1989 and especially after 2001. The only word that can now describe it is tsunami. It will break this society apart.

At least 2% should be chopped off those figures, the Jewish proportion of the US population. If the known (((ownership))) of the mass media were not as it is, brainwashing the American public, the figure overall would reduce to not much more than that 2%.

That lady is very mistaken though, if she really believes that “legal” immigration is not a problem. Indeed, it is far more of a problem, because 10x or even 20x the number of the “illegals”.

People allegedly part of the more riotous recent protests are not being bailed (as almost all would normally be) prior to sentence (if they pleaded guilty) or prior to trial (if they pleaded not guilty). This is quite obviously covert interference by the political element over the supposedly “independent” judicial element. Indeed, Starmer purported to lay down such practice in his poundland-dictator speech the other day.

Diary Blog, 21 July 2024, including the Andrew Malkinson wrongful conviction case, and about Helen Pitcher and her role in the Criminal Cases Review Commission scandal

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.

Matt Goodwin

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.

An omen.

The clip is from a few years ago, but is still relevant. Ellwood must be binned politically.

My own admittedly anecdotal and completely unscientific guess for this area (coastal western Hampshire), is that support for the lazy and useless Conservative Party incumbent has slumped, but that he is so entrenched in this ultra-safe Con heartland that he will survive without too much trouble.

I did see, somewhere or other, one Con Party poster, a while ago, and I have seen one solitary Labour one now; an outlier in a constituency where Labour usually comes in third or even fourth; Labour only managed (a very poor) second once (in 2017, under Corbyn). I have, however, now seen quite a few LibDem posters.

The LibDems usually come second here, and their high point was in 1997, when they still only scored 27.8%.

The only joker in the pack is Reform UK. Their likely vote is unknown in this constituency, but may reach 20%; we shall see.

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/25/protecting-just-12-of-earths-land-could-save-worlds-most-threatened-species-says-study-aoe

“Study identifies 16,825 sites around the world where prioritising conservation would prevent extinction of thousands of unique species.

Protecting just 1.2% of the Earth’s surface for nature would be enough to prevent the extinction of the world’s most threatened species, according to a new study.

Analysis published in the journal Frontiers in Science has found that the targeted expansion of protected areas on land would be enough to prevent the loss of thousands of the mammals, birds, amphibians and plants that are closest to disappearing.

From Argentina to Papua New Guinea, the team of researchers identified 16,825 sites that should be prioritised for conservation in the next five years to prevent imminent extinctions of animals and plants found nowhere else.”

Liz Kendall, Labour Friends of Israel [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Kendall#Defence_and_foreign_policy]. A pathetic and unpleasant woman.

Liz Kendall is like a poor actress trying to portray “genuine emotion” by overdoing the (((typical?))) hand gestures etc. She comes over rather like one of those puppets from 1960s shows like Stingray or Thunderbirds.

Good grief. The more I see of the upcoming fake-Labour “elected” dictatorship, in its germinal form, the more I think that it will have to be overthrown.

Most people in the UK are not pro-“Ukraine” in the sense of being pro-Zelensky and his brutal yet shambolic regime. Many are sorry for the ordinary people there, and their companion animals —indeed, that applies to me too, which is why I hoped for a very swift Russian victory in 2022— but few really support the Kiev regime to the point at which it becomes a UK General Election issue.

I do not think that Reform UK is sliding. In any case, many postal votes have already been cast, often by the middleaged and elderly people who are more likely to vote Reform UK.

Only 8 days now separate us from Election Day. Many people are angry, and almost all want to bin the Sunak-led Conservative Party, or even the Con Party under other management. I still think that many of the “undecided 20%”, if they vote, may decide to back Reform UK. We shall see.

I should not be surprised to see Reform get to 20% in the end. At the present, the election remains to that extent open. The Cons are surely doomed, and Labour, without much merit, looks heavily odds-on not only to win but to win at a level which may turn out to be historic. However, the level of Starmer’s victory is still undecided, as is the extent to which the very uninteresting LibDems will, purely as an electoral side-effect, have their MP numbers boosted. Perhaps by as many as 70 in total, almost certainly by 30-40 in total.

The number of Con MPs after 4th of July may be as few as 40 or as many as 140. My guess has always, in the past months, been closer to 40 than 140.

Whoever wins and whatever the detail, the bottom line is that the incoming Labour government will be trying to install a police state. That will have to be fought.

Look at how free speech, freedom of expression has become largely a thing of the past in the UK. Also, consider how there is a double standard: anyone social-national, or even conservative-national (even someone as basically near-centre-ground as Farage) is under far more scrutiny and restriction than either the hostile Jewish/Zionist Israel-lobby element or the often-connected “antifa” types, let alone the “useful idiots” of the transnational conspiracy, such as the Black Lives Matter nonsense, the Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion pawns etc.

As previously blogged, I have been disappointed in Mercer. I thought that the ex-officer would be a breath of fresh air and integrity at Westminster. In fact, he has been basically useless and, worse than that, rather a freeloader, even somewhat corrupt (in my opinion).

Quite. Ecce “democracy”— with enough “lobbying“, box-ticking, and “money from central government“, 50 feet of road in Cheshire can finally be patched up. “Pathetic” is indeed the word. The whole system must be changed, not just thick-as-two-short-planks Esther McVey binned.

Diary Blog, 29 May 2024, including a look at Natalie Elphicke

I never believe “them” without corroborative evidence.

Exactly. Eternal “victims”, even when they are victimizing others.

A mere caution, for attacking an elderly man in the street.

Natalie Elphicke

Whatever the facts of that, there are facts that are indisputable: Natalie Elphicke could have stood at GE 2024 as Con Party candidate. She received 56.9% of the vote in 2019 under that aegis.

I was puzzled as to why Natalie Elphicke crossed the floor, she after all knowing that a general election had to be called sometime before a date in January 2025. Does she have some better offer from outside Parliament? Seems doubtful to me.

Natalie Elphicke gives me a dual impression: not particularly intelligent, but particularly focussed on her own ambitions.

Incidentally, many may be misled by the academic section of her biographical details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalie_Elphicke#Early_life_and_career.

As a former member of Lincoln’s Inn, I have met several people over the years who were (as was Natalie Elphicke— see the Wikipedia entry) beneficiaries of Hardwicke scholarships. None impressed.

I saw this comment:

“Hardwicke Scholarships aren’t that prestigious. A mere submission of an application is more than enough to win one. They give about 150 away each year, and not many more people apply to each inn for a scholarship, surprisingly enough.” [online commentator].

I think that the real figure is nearer to 100 than 150.

To intrude a personal comment, I recall a young blonde lady barrister who (unsuccessfully, in all cases) opposed me in court a number of times during 2002-2008 when I was in chambers in Exeter (she was in another set, also in Exeter). She was a former Hardwicke scholar, just like Natalie Elphicke. I used to think of her as “Mrs Malaprop”, because her use of English was so poor. Comically so. A pretty poor barrister in terms of both legal knowledge and presentation, in my view, though wearing a sense of self-importance as thick as a suit of armour.

I had better not name that lady, mainly for reasons of propriety (I am too poor now to be worth suing; and there would be no basis for such a suit anyway). I just looked her up online for the first time, and found that she is still in Exeter, and still in the same chambers as she was 20+ years ago, apparently flourishing like the green bay tree.

I note that, having been Called to the Bar in 1994, only a few years after me, Natalie Elphicke decided to leave the Bar and to convert to be a solicitor (something that, at least then, basically meant filling out a few forms).

Natalie Elphicke only worked as a lawyer for a year or two, as a salaried employee of the Inland Revenue (as was; now HMRC) during 1995-1997. She married her now ex-husband, Charlie Elphicke, in 1995. They have two children. She appears to have returned to legal work for a year or two during the years 2011-2013, before helping to found a company which was dissolved 2-3 years later.

After that, her husband’s connections seem to have got her a couple of brief public appointments in the years 2016-2019, as well as the CEO job at the Housing and Finance Institute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_and_Finance_Institute. This may not be very lucrative, though, looking at the Institute’s funding. Hard to say.

Ah…[10 mins later…]… seems that my hunch was correct: that HFI CEO position is entirely unpaid: see https://members.parliament.uk/member/4795/registeredinterests.

Many will know that, though having displayed (performative?) “loyalty” to her disgraced MP husband, Charlie Elphicke, during his trial, Natalie Elphicke had by then already taken over as MP for Dover in 2019. She separated from him in 2020, and later divorced him, prior to which she sold her story to the Sun “newspaper” for £25,000. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/deal/news/mp-wife-of-naughty-tory-paid-25k-to-tell-all-234749/.

I have to say that I agreed (and still agree) with Natalie Elphicke’s comment at the time of her husband’s unsuccessful appeal (against sentence only— he had been sentenced to 2 years, plus £35,000 costs, and was released after a year) that the 2-year sentence was harsh. He had really done very little: “During his trial the court heard how Elphicke groped one of his accusers, chased her around his house, and sang “I’m a naughty Tory, I’m a naughty Tory.” [Wikipedia].

I should have thought that a suspended sentence would have been enough. From what I read at the time, his three crimes were all just silly, really; almost identical, too, and surely only just coming within the “sex crime” area. Pathetic more than anything, in my opinion.

To my mind, if crimes and criminals can be divided into “bad, sad, or mad“, Charlie Elphicke’s conduct was surely “sad“, with a dash of “mad“, but nothing seriously “bad“.

Having —whether rightly or wrongly, and I think rightly— identified Natalie Elphicke as a “go for the main chance” opportunist, why on Earth did she defect to Labour? Looking at the electoral statistics for Dover, she had a very good chance of being re-elected. Maybe Starmer offered her a peerage (seems unlikely, though), or some quango chair (more likely), or a safe Labour seat (relatively unlikely, surely?).

I admit, Mrs. Elphicke’s motivation is still puzzling to me.

As to Charlie Elphicke, I had little time for him when he was an MP, but I have to say that his fall from status and relative affluence has the elements of a minor Greek tragedy. Apparently, he now lives in a small rented flat somewhere like Earl’s Court, and may (I do not know) be either unemployed or working in some obscure occupation. I can find no record of him still on the Solicitors’ Register, and the same is true of Natalie Elphicke, but as far as I know both are still able to practise; again, I cannot say.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-61276734

While looking up the above details, I noticed this story from the Daily Mail in 2022: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10367265/Naughty-Tory-Charlie-Elphicke-makes-700-000-profit-selling-cliffside-home-Kent.html.

Turns out that the Elphickes bought a house on the Kent coast for about £800,000 in 2012, and were able to sell it only a decade later for over £1.5M. The house almost doubled in value in 10 years. A commentary upon the house-price madness in this country.

There is also no evidence that Reform UK is getting anywhere. Nothing lower than an across-the-board 20% will win any seats; even a few percent more may only win a small handful, maybe 3-5. 11%, 12%, even 15%, is “nowhere” territory in seat-winning terms.

The LibDems and Greens are on a lower nationwide support, yet have seats in the Commons because their vote is concentrated, here and there.

Having said that, I make two points. Firstly, most intending Reform UK voters know perfectly well that RF is not going to win many, if any, seats. Their vote is a protest vote and/or a way of kicking the Sunak government and Conservative Party, by weakening greatly the Con Party vote in almost every constituency, but without voting Labour.

Secondly, as mooted yesterday, there may be a number, perhaps even a large number, of “secret Reform UK voters”, who do not show up in the opinion polls because they say “Don’t Know” or nominate a mainstream party out of embarrassment. Very English, arguably.

I doubt whether the usual general election convergence will happen this time. People hate and despise the useless Conservative Party governments of the past 14 years, and especially the past 5 years. That includes a huge number of 2019 or previous Con voters.

In fact, I should not be surprised were the Lab-Con gap to widen, though more because the Cons may slide again rather than because Labour increase their percentage.

A plurality of voters do not know where Starmer stands. For Starmer, that may be what he wants.

Telling…

That must be “value” olive oil. The last bottle I bought (extra-virgin olive oil, first cold pressing, but not a single-estate or special one) was nearly £13.

“Incredible posting by Simon Myerson (1) @JewishMirelle’s statement can be opinion and defamatory. (2) Myerson is re-publishing a likely defamatory statement. (3) He’s a KC suggesting to someone on twitter that their statement might not be defamatory. (4) He’s the KC who acted for Pete Newbon according the Telegraph. #GroundhogDay“

Myerson again.

Honest opinion is now a defence [Defamation Act 2013, s.3].

I think that I shall quit now, while I am ahead. I have not been in Bar practice for 16 years, and do not, in general, keep up with changes in the law.

General Election news

According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that might result in a House of Commons with 541 Lab MPs, 46 LibDem, 28 Con, 12 SNP, 3 Plaid Cymru, 2 Green, and 18 various Northern Irish.

On those figures, what Disraeli described as “the great Conservative Party, which destroys everything“, would be itself almost destroyed, reduced to a rump of 20 MPs; not even the official Opposition, which would be the LibDems.

Such a result would be a strategic defeat for the SNP too. 12 MPs, down from 56 (out of 59) at the 2015 peak, and 48 at the 2019 GE.

I get the impression that the SNP’s version of fake “nationalism” (blame England/the UK for everything, keep importing non-whites into Scotland, and think it normal to have a Pakistani as First Minister) has well and truly foundered on the rocks of socio-political reality). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#House_of_Commons.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Of course, a change in the Labour vote of even one point either way would add several to (or subtract several from) the Conservative total, and even more to or from the Labour total.

“Ukraine knows that it’s all over” While the UK is preoccupied with the general elections, Kyiv “cannot withstand Putin’s brutal attack,” reports the British The Telegraph. Main points:

Kiev was forced to transfer thousands of soldiers to the northeastern part of the front line to try to slow down the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kharkov region.

The war is reaching a critical point as Western interest in helping Ukraine risks weakening again.

Zelensky seems to understand that time is running out for Ukraine: over the weekend he called on Joe Biden and Xi Jinping to take part in the upcoming “peace summit” in Switzerland.

Zelensky’s team is concerned about the shift of attention in the United States to internal elections: Ukraine is receding into the background.

The harsh reality is that Ukraine risks simply running out of people to fight.“

Exactly.

I have, on the blog, been saying for 2 years that Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

Exactly.

I once had a slim volume containing details of many “antisemitic” persons of artistic, scientific and other intellectual prominence in history. Too many to list here, but including Chopin, Schumann, and hundreds of others.

I believe that booklet had been compiled by Hilaire Belloc, but I may be mistaken in that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilaire_Belloc.

Britain 2024— roads full of holes and poor surfacing, patched slightly here and there. A million unwanted immigrants a year flooding in. Living standards being slashed. Poor pay for most workers, and another round of attacks on the unemployed, disabled and sick. Almost nothing in the administrative realm working properly. Free speech under unprecedented attack by the Jew-Zionist/pro-Israel lobby, with Government connivance. The NHS sinking ever-deeper into a situation where, in some areas, it is scarcely a health service at all.

Meanwhile the misgovernment of the little Indian money-juggler posing as a Prime Minister sends arms and ammunition to the dictatorship of the Jewish tyrant in Kiev, and entangles the UK in the wars of the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

What price “democracy”? Get rid of Sunak and his Cabinet of clowns, and the only result is that a pseudo-Labour “elected” dictatorship under Israel puppet will carry on in a similar way; maybe worse. Freedom of expression will be destroyed even more, Israel and the Jewish lobby will be supported even more, and the Kiev regime will be propped up even more.

In effect, the UK will swap a Conservative Friends of Israel misgovernment for a Labour Friends of Israel cabal misgovernment.

By all means clear out Conservative Party MPs. They deserve it. Vote elsewhere, or at least do not vote Conservative, but do not imagine that anything will change for the better under Labour.

“Is anyone going to point out the absurdity of Jessica Elgot, one of The Guardian’s most prominent Zionists – along with Jonathan Freedland – writing an extremely mild ‘exposé’ of the rapidly Zionist CAA. The purpose appears to be to undermine them on behalf of Margaret Hodge and John Mann, now that the CAA has outlived its usefulness to Hodge, who was formerly one of its patrons. Can we please have conflict of interest statements from Zionist journalists when they write about their beloved genocidal belief system and its real world manifestations?“

“It could take 14 years to clear debris in Gaza Israel’s military campaign against Gaza has reduced much of the narrow, coastal territory of 2.3 million people to a wasteland with most civilians homeless, hungry and at risk of disease. Pehr Lodhammar, senior officer at the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), told a briefing in Geneva that the war had left an estimated 37 million tonnes of debris in the widely urbanised, densely populated territory.“

cf. the Teufelsberg, or Devil’s Mountain, a hill in the former West Berlin, nearly 300 feet above the surrounding land, and created entirely from rubble brought from the devastated city several years after the end of the Second World War.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teufelsberg

From what one sees of Berlin today on TV etc, I find that I have no wish to visit the city. It might have been interesting to see, in the pre-1989 period, the contrast between East Berlin and West Berlin, but I never did, though I did see the southern part of the DDR (East Germany) in 1988, and I have seen (both pre-1989 and more recently) what was West Germany. I have blogged previously about my impressions.

Berlin has other, smaller, hills of that type. Some other German cities also have a Schuttberg or “debris mountain”, the larger ones called Trümmerberge (“rubble mountains”), though most are considerably smaller than the Teufelsberg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuttberg; they have been landscaped, “greened”, and are mostly not unaesthetic now.

“The Home Office considered appointing campaigner against antisemitism Gideon Falter as an adviser to its counter extremism unit but was warned against the appointment by the government’s antisemitism tsar.

The Guardian understands there were strong objections to Falter being offered the part-time civil service role advising the Commission for Countering Extremism (CCE) in 2022 and that John Mann told the then home secretary Suella Braverman he would quit if Falter was offered the post.

Falter told the Guardian: “These claims show a lack of understanding of how the Jewish community works. CAA works closely with CST, Shomrim [a volunteer-led security group that works with the strictly Orthodox Jewish community] and numerous other organisations.

“As part of our work we make complaints against antisemites in all walks of life…”

[The Guardian]

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/26/home-office-considered-antisemitism-campaigner-for-counter-extremism-unit

It is disgusting that this horrible little individual was ever considered for an official role. A liar and, some say, a perjurer, just like a couple of his self-publicizing colleagues.

Incidentally, I believe that the present Commissioner for Countering Extremism is Jewish.

As for Suella Braverman, thank God her time in the political limelight is probably over. A low-level barrister unaccountably selected/”elected” to the Commons and then, even less plausibly, appointed to Cabinet. She is what the Indians in her mother’s native Mauritius call —I have heard them say it— “bas-class“. Married to a Jew, and completely in the pocket of the Jewish/Zionist lobby and Israel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suella_Braverman.

Suella Braverman’s seat at Fareham is considered “safe”, but when the Conservative MP numbers are cut down at the General Election this year, Suella Braverman will just be one of about (?) 50 Conservative Party MPs left. No influence, and no political future except as a backbencher of a party which might even fail to become the official Opposition. I doubt that she will become the leader of that now very degraded party.

Looks as though more-powerful or more-influential Jews have told Falter to shut up and get back into his box.

God knows what group-karma is eventually going to come down the tracks at Israel, the Israelis, and all those outside Israel who support the quasi-genocide.

The idea that 500,000-1,000,000+ immigrants coming into the UK (mostly not via “small boats”) annually is in any way sustainable is just mad. This government has hugely increased immigration (hardly surprising…look at the Cabinet, composed largely of non-Europeans), and the Labour Friends of Israel government of Starmer, expected to start this year or early next year, will be even worse.

People look at their living standards plummeting, goods costing more, transport services, roads, NHS, schools etc getting worse, housing becoming totally unaffordable, but (in the case of many people) prefer to ignore the links between all of that and the tsunami of immigration.

…and the same applies to the —ten or even twenty times greater— “legal” migration invasion.

Incidentally, those opinion poll statistics add up to only 77% of voters asked. Is most of the remaining 23% a group of people who might support something perhaps not on the question-paper, such as a social nationalist movement as yet not in existence?

[“our unconquerable children”]

At GE 2024, such figures might result in the Conservative Party being left with as few as 30 MPs, as noted on yesterday’s blog post.

A country which has no control over its borders, no control who has civil rights within borders, no right to expel non-citizens for default or at will, is not a nation but just a territory open to all, and not far from chaos or civil war, a place where disparate tribes occupy space for a time; or a kind of “Hotel California”…

Looks like he has learned the term that characterizes employed life at the bottom level in North America— “wage slavery”, with the accent on slavery…

If I had to guess, I should say that embezzling fake Zelensky will be gone within a year or so, either into exile and to his several multimillion-dollar houses in Florida and elsewhere or, well, just gone…

“It’s now a week since Scotland’s new Hate Crime Act became law and 8,000 hate complaints have been logged with the police —about one a minute. Police union bosses described the law as ‘a disaster’ and claimed officers are already ‘swamped under a deluge of complaints’. Senior officers also warned that police will be forced to make cuts to frontline crimefighting to deal with the deluge and face a big overtime bill which the Scottish taxpayer will need to pick up — or the police will cut back elsewhere.”

Scotland, a region where a bunch of pseudo-nationalist clowns and foreign ideologues have taken power over the past 9 years, and where the white Scottish majority population is a hated and reviled group, despite numerical and other superiority.

Not just the SNP under Pakistani “First Minister” Humza Yousaf. “Scottish” Labour under Anas Sarwar, another Pakistani, is no better. I was always told that Scottish education was better than English, and Scottish people shrewd. What happened?

Free speech is now all but dead in the UK, so I cannot comment as I should like…

For those unaware of the term, aliyah is a Hebrew term meaning, in everyday usage, “immigration“, and usually refers to immigration to Israel/occupied Palestine by Jews living elsewhere in the world; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah.

“In February 2002, Charlie Burrell and his wife Isabella Tree sent a letter to Defra declaring their intent ‘to establish a biodiverse wilderness area in the Low Weald of Sussex’. Twenty years later, their rewilding project on the 3,500-acre Knepp estate is a huge success story – a pioneering project that has inspired dozens of similar enterprises around the UK.”

Rewilding. Worth reading.

Israeli war crimes. Ethnic cleansing. Slaughter of women and children. Clearing Gaza of its Arab population so that, later, it can be settled by Israeli Jews.

…and see how actually reverential they look as they count the money…

I do not want “a debate“. I want an end to this invasion. So do the British people.

Also, it is quite clear why such information remains secret or unavailable, which is because public release of the statistical evidence would underline how hugely negative mass immigration has been to this country. A conspiracy by secret cabals embedded in the body politic to import non-whites into the UK (and the rest of Europe).

Even the press-gangs have not brought in enough people to become cannon-fodder for the incompetent Ukrainian high command. Now they want to press into service the old, the extremely young, women, even disabled people.

In the end, I think that many Ukrainian people will be glad to welcome the Russian armies as they advance.

“The Sunday Times reports that among the residents of Ukraine there are no people left willing to fight, and a breakthrough of Russian troops to Kyiv is quite real “The front line is 480 km away, but to nervous young people from Podol, a Kyiv district famous for its nightclubs and cafes, the war suddenly seems much closer. “I’m afraid,” the publication quotes 31-year-old Dima as saying, specifying that he is a “heavy smoker.” Main points of the article:

Ukrainian generals said that there is no alternative to mass mobilization to stop Russia’s offensive. Zelensky warned allies to expect more territorial losses and called on Ukrainian men who fled abroad to return and serve their country.

But under the bright spring sun of Kyiv, the answers to questions about Zelensky’s desire to mobilize are clear. The video producer, who wished to remain anonymous, said that he travels between Ukrainian cities only at night to avoid being drafted into the army.

Western partners hesitant about arms supplies face brutal calculations: the population of the remaining Ukraine is approximately 31 million, compared with 144 million in Russia. The longer the military conflict continues, the greater the fear that the numbers will prevail.

Ukraine, suffering from the lowest birth rate in the world, tried to save young people from the horrors of war. But now, when the average age of a Ukrainian soldier is 43 years old, the desire to protect the country’s future prevails.

In the capital of Ukraine, hundreds of thousands of people are browsing Telegram channels in search of advice on how to avoid conscription into the army. The messages are encrypted: “They just dumped a lot of snow on one person near the Polytechnic Institute station,” “It’s very cloudy on the street near the Festivalny shopping center now.”

People are accustomed to the idea that the front line is far away, that it is unshakable. But the truth is that the Russians could break through at any moment. We can fight for Kyiv again. People don’t understand the threat,” says military medic Boris.“

Regular readers of the blog will note that many of the above points have featured on the blog over the past 1-2 years.

Russia cannot lose this war. Russia will not lose this war.

“What goes around comes around“, in the American saying…

That photo, showing President Assad, reminds me of when little William Hague, about 12 years ago, said that Assad was finished and would be on a plane out to exile somewhere or other within days, if not hours. Ha ha! The UK is ruled by clowns of the William Hague sort— or even worse in fact, now. No wonder that 80% of the electorate want to stamp on the Conservative Party, and stamp and stamp…

Not that fake Labour, entirely controlled at top level by the Israel-lobby cabal, will be any better, looking at thick and ignorant “diversity hire”, Lammy.

Well, you people, most of you “Conservative” and “Labour” voters, never supported those who tried to warn of the likely consequences of the mass immigration invasion of the UK —from the 1950s through to today—, meaning Enoch Powell, the National Front, the BNP, social-national thinkers etc.

Many tried to get a public hearing, but were ignored, or persecuted, or even prosecuted. You people kept voting for System parties and their corrupt and/or stupid MPs. Even now, you vote for a System party. Now see the results…

Forget about knives. Knives are just a peripheral symptom. Look at and then deal with the causes. Those who carry the knives. They are probably already breeding the next generation of knife-carriers and stabbers.

The sine qua non is European rule over not only Europe itself, and the Russophone parts of Asia, but also over parts of the rest of Asia, all of Africa, and over most other significant areas of the world.

“Life in Britain is worse than it was 30 years ago“? That is not even a question…

Zelensky’s cabal is trying to provoke Russia into a massive “Israeli”-style retaliation, in the hope that that would bring NATO into the war as a full participant. In fact, were that to happen, it would be a short step to a Third World War.

All the same, I expect an intensification of Russian attacks on strategic infrastructure: electricity generation and supply, communications, railways, roads.

If, or rather when, the Labour Party forms a government in the UK, presumably later this year, it will be an “elected” (by default) dictatorship entirely ruled by Israel and the UK Jewish lobby.

Britain should do the same— shut down pro-Israel, pro-Jewish-lobby mass media outlets.

If he ever returns here, deport him— and all of his compatriots.

Because “a certain group that cannot be mentioned” owns or influences those tabloid and other newspapers; the influence comes from ownership, from greenmail such as the power to withhold advertising revenue and, more directly, from the number of Jews employed in the UK press as journalists, editors etc.

https://news.sky.com/author/sean-bell-894. A former Air vice-Marshal since involved in making money by appearing on Sky TV etc, and selling or renting out properties. Almost certainly a freemason, and plainly pro-Israel, as well as very anti-Russian (he was giving a very poor analysis of the Ukraine war all through 2023 on Sky News).

Sky News is of course part of the worldwide News Corp operation started by 100% pro-Israel ancient cuckold, Rupert Murdoch.

Well, in view of my recent free speech trial, I suppose that I should not add comment. So much for the “free world”…

They do that in Turkey as well. I remember that happening when I was living temporarily in the Fethiye area on the Turquoise Coast in 2001.

I see the “Reform UK” protest voters as expressing a rage against an anti-British, anti-white milieu in politics, the msm, the law, and much of academia. Of course, Reform UK itself is “controlled opposition”, there to channel that rage and control it, but the rage itself is real enough.

“NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has prepared an initiative to transfer control of the US-led Military Assistance Contact Group to Ukraine (Ramstein) to the alliance, Bloomberg reports, citing sources.

Financial Times (FT) interlocutors explained that in this way Stoltenberg wants to protect Ukraine from political changes if Donald Trump wins the American elections.

As Bloomberg notes, the leadership of NATO Supreme Commander Christopher Cavoli’s contact group will protect the structure from political changes that may occur after the November US presidential elections.

Stoltenberg will formally put forward the proposal at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels on April 3 and 4. According to Bloomberg, Jens Stoltenberg is also proposing to create an allied contribution fund of $100 billion, which will be allocated to Ukraine over five years. According to the agency, the NATO Secretary General is urging the allies to sign a document on the creation of a structure at the alliance summit.“

Crowdfunder

https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J

This is my appeal for help in paying the nearly £800 I have been ordered to pay by early/mid April 2024 following my recent free speech conviction (see earlier blog posts). So far, in the past few days, £160 has come in, from three generous donors who regularly read the blog.

Talking point

Interesting, but nothing would have the impact of 6 such missiles landing on Central London.

Good grief.

Many attempts have been made to conquer that region: Alexandrine Greeks under Alexander the Great (4th Century B.C.), the troops of the British Empire (19thC A.D.), the armies of the Soviet Union (1980s), and the armies of the Western alliance (2001-2021). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan#History.

According to my use of Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that works out as leaving the Con Party with about 42 MPs (Labour 518; LibDems 49; SNP 18; Plaid Cymru 3; Greens 2; Northern Irish seats 18).

Were that to happen, the LibDems would be the official Opposition, and the UK would be under what is already looking like being a Labour Party “elected dictatorship” for 5 years at least.

Sam Melia and Laura Towler

Their fundraiser is still increasing in value: see https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia.

Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch) also has a crowdfunder to help him in prison, and to get him back on his feet once released (likely to be any time after May 2024, and in any event by August of this year). https://www.givesendgo.com/SupportSven. Even small amounts help (the minimum donation is a mere £4).

My own crowdfunder (to help me pay the financial impost imposed upon me by the Court at my sentencing hearing last Thursday) can be found here: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.

Rafah, the very place to where the Gazan civilian population was “ordered” (by the Israeli Jews’ army) to flee to as a sanctuary.

Well, I have to say that, for someone the Western msm has been writing off with (invented?) terminal illnesses for at least 3 years, Putin looks remarkably well. Has “our” (((their))) media been lying to us again?

“God mote it be“, not because I think particularly highly of Trump as an individual, or as statesman of sorts, but because he will ensure, as far as possible, that the USA and Russia (etc) do not get into a Third World War that might set back civilization for hundreds or even thousands of years.

See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/.

At the end of the day, the choice will be a poor one, because the US political system is sclerotic and almost incapable of substantial change. That will be so even were Biden and Trump not to be the candidates in the end.

As it is, it looks like being Trump on the one side, a very flawed individual but one with real strengths, as against Biden, a corrupt and possibly perverse individual who —most importantly— is plainly at least semi-demented.

People may say “so what if Biden has dementia? He has support etc“. Well, if that is so, why even elect a President? Just let the Deep State conclaves, and secretive Bohemian Grove circles, and Jew-Zionist cabals, rule the USA without the figurehead…

I think that the American public are looking at the two, and are seeing that (to put it that way) one of them is as good as “off his head”…so game over (?).

…and it now turns out that the untermensch even strolled past (the new) New Scotland Yard a while ago! The police must be hoping that he will just throw himself into the river, and thus save them further embarrassment. Where’s Waldo?

If this trend continues, there will eventually have to be, not only in the USA etc, but in the UK too, a purge that will make the Cultural Revolution, the Yezhovshchina, and others, seem mild.

Hillary Clinton, someone who only became prominent because she was married to Bill Clinton. Thank God she never became U.S. President. We would have had WW3 by now. A semi-educated idiot who is presented as some kind of great mind.

Where is Squeaky Fromme when you need her?

In view of my upcoming magistrates’ court sentencing, I had better remain silent on this…

The SNP is always good for a laugh. As for Scotland’s “Independence” pretensions, what kind of “Scottish nation” has Pakistanis (yes, I know that they must have British passports…) leading two of its three largest political parties (SNP and Scottish Labour)?

Does anyone go there, do that, and be (or pretend to be) “overcome with emotion” unless he is at least “part-“? I am thinking of “Boris” Johnson, whose great-grandfather was a rabbi in Lithuania.

Whichever way you look at him, Milei seems to be some kind of lunatic.

Amazing how many —indeed, brainwashed— people really want to believe either that the UK actually benefits from mass immigration (which is such nonsense) or at least can comfortably absorb the present (net) inflow of about 750,000 a year (more in fact, bearing in mind that the incomers are almost all non-white, while emigrants are often British people —real British people— going to Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere).

Sam Melia

https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/crime/pudsey-4490476

“A far-right activist who was caught with a library of online stickers telling non-white people to “go back” has been found guilty of inciting racial hatred.

The jury at Leeds Crown Court returned a verdict this afternoon after spending less than a day deliberating the case of Sam Melia.

The 34-year-old was on trial following a raid at his Pudsey home on Town Street in April 2021 in which police uncovered a catalogue of downloadable stickers which were “intended to stir up racial hatred” and encouraged racially-aggravated criminal damage. They also found a poster of Adolf Hitler on his wall and a book by the infamous British fascist, Oswald Mosley.“

[Yorkshire Evening Post]

There was a time in England, not so very long ago, when people had real freedom of expression. Even in the 1970s, when free speech had already been cut back, it still existed to an extent unthinkable in the England of 2024, in which the “woke” or “politically correct” rule almost supreme, and in which the malicious and fanatical Jew-Zionists “monitor” anything British people say or write, lest it might be —or can be be contrived to look— “grossly offensive” (to “them”).

The great British jury has also fallen by the wayside, and now almost inevitably finds anyone accused of “inciting racial hatred” guilty, no matter how flimsy the evidence. Rubber-stamp juries. I have no idea whether that was the case in respect of the Sam Melia trial. I know only what has been in the Press over the past day or two.

Not only that. Anyone found with such innocuous things as “racist” stickers may get, not even months but years of incarceration, in an England where real crime, even violent crime, is often scarcely punished by the courts.

Look at that Yorkshire Evening Post report. Things actually perfectly lawful (having a poster of Hitler on the wall at home, owning a book by a long-dead British politician) added to the mix in a “nudge-nudge, wink-wink” way…

I do not know Sam Melia, only of him, and only slightly even on that basis, but I very much regret that he has been found guilty. My thoughts are with him, and with his wife, the socio-political activist Laura Towler.

Ukraine’s (Kiev regime’s) only hope in this war is to bring in NATO on the Kiev-regime side; to widen the conflict. Russia has not taken the bait so far, but the Zelensky regime keeps pushing, keeps prodding, in the hope of provoking a massive Russian response which might draw NATO into the war directly. If that were to happen though, it would be but a short step to a world war.

…and to the Jewish/Zionist lobby in the UK, USA, France etc.

Yes. A toad. Indeed, a “slithey tove“, it might be said…

Young and his controlled opposition friends have never said one word in defence of my supposed rights to freedom of expression.

Tell me about it…I myself face a sentencing court next week, after my conviction for having published a few supposedly “grossly offensive” comments, cartoons etc on this blog.

Many people kid themselves that we live in a somehow “free” country, when what it really is, or has become, is an “iron fist in velvet glove” dictatorship. Well-disguised at times, yes, and somewhat shambolic too, which gives the appearance of laxity (and so “liberty”), at times, but still a repressive dictatorship under (((the usual))) influence; and it is getting worse almost daily.

The usual “controlled opposition” grifters, such as Toby Young, can be disregarded as a total waste of space.

“While I’ve no time for #PA, this has to be said: Sam Melia is dragged through the courts and portrayed as a racist monster over stickers with messages such as “White Lives Matter”, which graced a few hundred lampposts.

Meanwhile, Tommy Robinson is allowed to post blatant incitement and heavy-duty ‘Islamiphobia’ like this to a gigantic audience.

I have always believed that the Muslim #grooming gangs – and the native traitors who facilitated them – should be tried and, if convicted, executed. But to use their crimes to incite generic hatred of an entire community is nothing more or less than conditioning for war against Iran – a war for Israel, without a shred of legitimate British interest.

Make no mistake, this is the UK deep state giving an asset free rein to prod the herd to war.“

Griffin is, of course, correct.

All the same, we must be clear from where the poisonous repression is coming. Not from, at root, the police, MI5, the CPS, but from the “special-interest cabals” behind them…

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/jan/25/david-cameron-broke-convention-when-he-made-michelle-mone-a-peer-says-tory-mp

“David Mundell says Scotland Office was not consulted about Mone’s 2015 appointment.

David Cameron breached “proper process” when he appointed Michelle Mone to the House of Lords in 2015, David Mundell, who was the secretary for Scotland at the time, has said.

Ms Mone is not a successful entrepreneur, she is a small-time businesswoman with a PR exposure far in excess of any actual success,” Anderson wrote. “Awarding her a peerage for a very mediocre business performance brings the awarding of titles into disrepute by rewarding failure.” [a well-informed Glasgow business leader wrote— to Cameron privately— at the time].

[The Guardian]

I blogged about Mone’s fakery at the time. Like so many in both the Commons and the Lords, she was always a fake.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/25/diverse-forests-of-slow-growing-trees-more-resilient-to-storms-study-finds-aoe

“Forests with two or three tree species are on average 35% more resilient to storms than forests with only one species, simulations created by researchers found. The type of trees also matters – forestry plantations are typically made up of fast-growing tall trees such as conifers, but they are more vulnerable to high winds than slower-growing hardwood species such as oak.“

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/29/stategy-protect-temperate-celtic-rainforest-england-atlantic-woodland-aoe

“Conservationists have praised the launch of a new government strategy to revive the remaining fragments of the vast temperate rainforests that were once “one of the jewels of Britain’s nature crown”.

Temperate rainforest, also known as Atlantic woodland or Celtic rainforest, once covered most of western Britain and Ireland. The archipelago’s wet, mild conditions are ideal for lichens, mosses and liverworts. But centuries of destruction have meant that only small, isolated pockets remain.“

Tice is hopeless. It is a measure of how unpopular the present misgovernment is, and how discontented are many of the voters, that Reform UK, even under Tice, even though it is not social-national, is apparently now on 13%, acc. to opinion polling.

Whether that will cut much ice at GE 2024 remains to be seen. We have, in a sense, been here before, with both UKIP and Brexit Party (both Farage vehicles, as is Reform UK). The difference, maybe, is in the degree of desperation felt by the voters.

When the voters feel real desperation, and in sufficient numbers, they may be ready, finally, to turn to real social-nationalism.

[the 20th Century’s Man of Destiny. 1889-1945]

“...the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not“…

Those latest polling figures are striking all the same. They might translate, at GE 2024, to a Labour majority of 420, with the “Conservatives” left as a rump of 35 MPs.

South Essex fraudster/”grifter” “Jack Monroe”.

Well-meaning people ripped off by a dishonest and indeed evil woman.

It is depressing, though, to observe how many of the said idiots are unwilling to see the truth even when it is presented, unambiguously and with irrefutable supporting evidence, to them… a bit like the people in the 1930s, 1940s, even up to the 1980s, who sincerely believed both in Marxism-Leninism and in the idea that the Soviet Union was a wonderful society, maybe with a few flaws here and there. I must have met hundreds like that.

Gaza (and the Jew-Zionist quasi-genocidal devastation there) is a very important issue but, as an acerbic Dutch lady once told me, about 42 years ago, “the shirt is closer than the skirt” (apparently an old Dutch proverb akin to “blood is thicker than water”). First things first. This country is now in a truly terrible mess. Our own people have needs that are not being addressed, still less satisfied. No wonder so many people say that they are “politically homeless”, and are unwilling to vote for any System party.

So it seems that the winds are set fair for a second Trump presidential term.
