We need to ditch the old, outdated ‘left’ ‘right’ divisions & terminology & realise that the most important division today is globalist/non-globalist. All our major parties today are globalist. They follow global agendas, not national ones. They only pretend to be ‘patriotic’.

Not sure I agree with the second sentence of tweeter “Jim Smith”. Even 22 years ago, Oxford seemed to have a bad traffic (and parking) problem. I picked up an American lady at the railway station (where there was effectively no parking beyond extremely short-term), in order to take her to Herefordshire. Very fraught and congested, and the traffic in and around the central part of the town was pretty bad, certainly compared to what it was like in the 1980s.

Holden graduated from the LSE in 2007, at age 22, with a degree in Government and History. Unlike most Conservative (and Labour) MPs, he had spent some time in “the real world”, having worked part-time during his LSE years as a waiter and barman.
After graduation, Holden worked in a number of Conservative Party and SpAd jobs, before being elected at North West Durham in 2019.
North West Durham was a Labour seat from 1950, when the seat was reconstituted, to 2019.
Despite the above, and bearing in mind the cost of living crisis, and the economic catastrophe left after the “panicdemic” etc, it will take a Herculean effort for Holden to retain the seat, despite Labour’s general slide in the area in the past several years, especially if labour select someone other than Laura Pidcock.

In fact, only brainwashed “morons” (meaning here, “stupid people”), and/or equally mindless fans of the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, use “Kyiv” or, indeed, “Keev” (the BBC’s absurd new version).
As far as I am concerned, “Peking” and “Bombay” are also still places, as are “Calcutta” and “Florence”.
I am content to stick with the version used for a thousand years— Kiev.

Johnson has proven time and again his total unfitness for any office. His schoolboy “plans” (fantasies) for garden bridges, bridges over the Irish Sea, artificial islands with Metropolis airports or spaceports on them, “levelling-up” (with not a single policy to do that), have all disappeared in puffs of smoke.
Johnson has proven his sheer inability to do the job of a Prime Minister in terms of actual intellectual capability; he has also proven his craven inability to at least appear to be courageous, refusing to be interviewed by the heavyweights such as Andrew Neil and Jeremy Paxman, hiding in a refrigerator during the 2019 General Election and, more recently, hiding in Kiev and Rwanda as his premiership crashed and burned.
What will be his “legacy”? Either nothing, or the memory of a time when complete fantasy and fabrication ruled at Downing Street, or the prospect of economy and society destroyed by the “panicdemic” “measures”.
That is if we are lucky. If we are unlucky, nuclear war with a country, Russia, that has 100x our nuclear-destructive ability; a war for which there is no reason at all, and which, if it were to happen, would come about for no reason at all other than Idiot’s wish to have supportive headlines after throwing arms and money at the Jew dictator Zelensky.

“They” have demanded “compensation” not from any Palestinian organization but from Germany, because only Germany has the money to throw at “them” (presumably, to try to get them to shut up). Also, only Germany is weak enough morally to give in to those wheedling/angry (((demands))).

It's impossible to believe, in 2022, that people would have been so terririfed of a cold virus that they stopped normal life & gave up their liberties.
Lockdowns, masks, social distancing, hand sanitizer: these were all part of the monolithic propaganda.
'The USSR was composed of nothing but rust, corruption and weapons, bound together by barbed wire and residual fear, and kept more-or-less happy with regular issues of vodka, medals and Kolbasa sausage.' https://t.co/04tOm8s1iH via @mailplus
A very considerable simplification, of course, but largely true.
Socialism, in the old sense, had had its day by the 1980s. The Western conspirators largely responsible for foisting Jewish Marxism-Leninism on the carcass of Imperial Russia were ready to keep Russia (and its former empire) down another way, by holding out the promise of Western material goods, basically; that, and the right to speak more freely than in the ~70 years that had passed.
Now, in 2022-2055, new illusions are put forward, both to Russia and the West.
I happened to see this menu from the House of Commons:
The MPs almost literally have their snouts in the trough, and at heavily-subsidized prices— at the same time as so many people are going hungry and (once the weather cools, from this coming weekend) cold as well.
The House of Lords offers its members similar if not better fare, also at rock-bottom prices. A friend of mine often dined there, though many years ago, and told me all about it. In those days, roast salmon, with all trimmings, was about £2 or £3, I think.
In fact, it is reminiscent of the old “Kremlyovsky Payok” (“Kremlin ration”), a system of both free and heavily-subsidized food rations originating in the 1920s, and which expanded under Stalin to become a whole system of (some) free food, and special shops with either subsidized or generally unobtainable food and other items, sourced both from within the Soviet Union and from outside. Ground coffee, for example.
The Kremlyovsky payok was the highest level, awarded to members of the Politburo and other very high-ranking persons, but there were more modest yet still worthwhile “rations” (and other items) available to anyone who was a member of the “nomenklatura“, such as GRU officers down to the rank of major.
In Kazakhstan, where I lived in 1996-1997, Army personnel still got a payok of that sort at that time; I recall that my “landlord”, a Russian colonel in the Kazakhstan Army (ex-Soviet Army; I became very friendly with him, his wife, and their youngest child, who all lived not far from me) received a large sack of grain and a lot of tinned goods regularly.
That system extended (in Soviet days) to —in effect— private hospitals, vacation “sanatoria” (hotels with a health and fitness aspect), and access to foreign (and usually better) domestic equipment such as refrigerators, ovens, washing machines etc.
A few extremely valued people (such as Mikhail Sholokhov, the writer of The Quiet Don, aka Quiet Flows the Don— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Quiet_Flows_the_Don; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Sholokhov), and the holder of numerous awards, including 6 awards of the Order of Lenin and 2 awards of Hero of Socialist Labour, were even allowed “open bank accounts”, which meant that they could go to a bank and be given effectively any amount of money they wanted (Soviet roubles only, of course), whenever they liked.
Continuing facemask nonsense

Biden has at least the excuse that he is, or is said to be, somewhat demented.
I went to Waitrose yesterday evening (it being the only actual supermarket for miles), and noticed a woman walking to her car in the car park— alone, in the sun and a slight breeze, yet masked.
For some people, wearing one of those stupid masks or muzzles has become a kind of “I can prove that I really exist” virtue-signal, or a flag of allegiance to some sort of fake communitarian “clap for the NHS” club.
Those cranks must have hated it when shops were allowed to reopen without subjecting their customers (that’s customers, not prisoners) to the whole soulless and pointless rigmarole of “social distancing”, the facemask nonsense —“would you pull up your mask please!“— and the rest of it all, monitored by shop staff suddenly given petty power (but who now have to return to stacking shelves and helping the shoppers rather than corralling them).
The loonies or semi-loonies still wearing their (completely useless) facemasks remind me of the Japanese soldiers on Pacific islands, still fighting the war in 1980, not having understood that it finished in 1945, and then realizing (?) that they had just been wasting their time doing something rather stupid.
The result of a number of factors, among which are mass immigration, births to non-whites (causing an increase of maybe 10 millions in the past two decades), and the politically-driven sell-off of local authority homes (from the mid-1980s onward).

Putin had no real choice, but his decision must have assumed, evidently mistakenly, that Russian military intelligence (the GRU) and the Russian Army (both on the ground and in the General Staff or, to use an old term, the Stavka) was up to the job, competent. Not so, it seems to have been proven.
This is a potentially existential crisis for Russia as anything purporting to be an independent state, let alone a regional power (the “superpower” label having been lost except in terms of nuclear weapons).
Russia cannot lose this war. By that, I mean that Putin cannot afford to lose this war.
The Russian side is now proposing peace talks. The Ukrainian or Kiev-regime side has refused, saying that only the “return” of Crimea (historically, usually part of Russia rather than Ukraine) and the Donbass etc can be the precondition for talks.
Russia will never accept that Crimea, especially, and its almost entirely Russian population, be given , or “returned”, to the Kiev government.
The present situation is worrying even for those who live far from Ukraine. There is a mob, of the malicious and/or idiotic, baying for Russian blood, and for war with Russia, in effect. I wonder what a Venn diagram would look like if it contained that Twit-mob and also the similar mobs who wanted war with Iraq and then Afghanistan?
If the present limited “Ukrainian” counter-offensive in the south succeeds, and the Kherson pocket or bulge is eliminated, Russia may start to attack, more heavily than heretofore, Odessa, other cities, and Kiev itself.
There is a danger of huge escalation here. The Kiev regime is being supplied with more and more and better, more powerful, arms. Not only arms but money, food, medicines etc. Supplied by the West, but mainly from the USA and UK.
Without those arms, without that money, the failed state of Ukraine could not exist at all. It has almost no exports, its industrial areas are inoperative, or ablaze, or under Russian control. Millions of its wealthier and/or better-educated citizens are in exile. Within Ukraine, the Zelensky regime has shot or imprisoned opponents without trial, or after neo-Stalinist quick “trials”; it has banned trade unions and all opposition parties, and there is no freedom of speech.
In short, Zelensky, like his shambolic and corrupt “government”, is a “monkey on a stick”. This is a Punch and Judy show.
Having said that, if it is true that Russia’s forces are faltering, if it is true that Russia’s supply of heavy weapons to the war is slowing, then that may leave Putin and his top people with an incentive to escalate the war beyond anything yet seen. That in turn might provoke a NATO response. If that were to happen, European civilization, in Europe, itself might be in peril.
Pubs, fish and chip shops and the rest are being driven to the wall on purpose. The destruction is intentional. However hard to accept – it's the simplest explanation.
Look at the UK. Ten years ago, even five years ago, look on, eg, Rightmove, and you saw numerous English or Scottish country estates for sale, some with thousands of acres. Now? Nothing, pretty much. I blogged about this previously, even a few years ago.
Cash is being phased out. It’s a control mechanism. Once cash goes, the citizen is reduced to complete and utter dependence on his little plastic cards. If they are restricted or taken away, by whoever controls the system, the individual is immediately an outcast, without money, without any way (short of theft, robbery, or begging) even to access food.
When I last visited Hong Kong, in 2006, there was a regional technical problem with credit and debit cards. None worked for several days. Fortunately, I was already in hotel accommodation (the Sheraton, Kowloon) and had several thousand US dollars in cash as well, but what if a similar situation occurs, and you have no cash (because cash does not exist), and what if you are not in accommodation for whatever reason? You sleep on a park bench, and forage for whatever food you can find.
Do not imagine that the banks are some kind of unbiased arbiter or supplier of services. They may be, most of the time, but even now we see examples of people with “the wrong views” being cut off from banking services. It happened a while ago to Sam Melia, Laura Towler and Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative. I am not talking even about the PA official bank accounts. No, I refer to the individual, personal bank accounts of those people.
You can see the way UK television drama has gone, even detective stories such as Endeavour, Grantchester etc. A kind of “we must have half the characters black, brown, other non-white, or at least gay” ethos.

or at least more modest “travellers”, whether backpack drifters or package tourists. Now, in the UK, this has changed.
The word “travellers” has now been hijacked to describe those who were formerly (if largely inaccurately) known as “Gypsies” (the “real” Gypsies being of Indian origin and, also inaccurately, thought in the Europe of the 16th Century to be “Egyptians”; the Parliament of Henry VIII passed the Egyptians Act 1530 with the idea of expelling them from England on pain of imprisonment and forfeiture: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptians_Act_1530).
The socio-ethnic group now often referred to as “travellers” are fundamentally the same as the Irish “tinkers”, a group which may have diverged from the general Irish population as early as the 17th Century, and possibly consequent upon the ravaging of Ireland by Cromwell: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Travellers.
While many will claim that not all of the Irish tinker/travellers are a social nuisance, those that are a nuisance are a huge nuisance.
The present UK Government has passed some legislation to try to protect English people and the English countryside from the illegal squatting, illegal construction, litter, vandalism and crime which often accompanies the caravans of the “travellers”, I doubt whether the measures recently put in place are anything like strong enough. Also, the police, now so brainwashed by “anti-racist” propaganda, are often seen to be ineffective in dealing with the problem.
This is an ingrained and inter-generational social problem, and will require a determined effort if a lasting solution is to be put in place.
“The Tories could be locked out of power for a generation under controversial ‘coalition of chaos’ plans expected to be backed by Labour this autumn.

The Daily Mail has quite a cheek talking about “chaos” after the past 12 years of shambolic misgovernment, and especially the past 3 years.
So maybe there is one (possible) Labour Party policy that I might actually like…

I was actually disbarred for having tweeted a mere 5 completely true and accurate tweets about UK politics and society, including the assertion(s) that Michael Gove was a pro-Jew, pro-Israel expenses cheat. In 2016 (when I was disbarred, complaint having been laid —by a pack of Jews calling themselves “UK Lawyers for Israel”— in 2014), it was not publicly known that Gove is also a drunk and a cocaine abuser. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.
Still, even a stopped clock is right once or twice a day:
As noted before about the pseudo-green anti-oil “activists”, “Insulate Britain”, “Extinction Rebellion” etc, they rely on the still mainly decent and (often all-too) tolerant nature of British people, i.e. that they, the “activists” (and particularly the older women vandals, like the one shown in the clip), will not be hit in the face or pushed to the ground and stamped upon. In the colloquial, vandals such as those nuisances are “taking the p***” and should be dealt with.
Where are the police? Where are they?
This is not just “criminal damage”, bad enough though that is; this is conspiracy.
The Royal Cuck and the Royal Mulatta— gifts that keep on giving…
Were “the Harry formerly known as Prince” not blessed with the absurd and anachronistic title, no-one would be at all interested in the banal doings of a rather unintelligent and surely neurotic “young” man (38 in a couple of weeks) and/or those of his “mixed-race”, social-climbing, and slightly older (41 years) wife.
The UK government has announced plans to increase solar power capacity “up to five times” by 2035.
If built, solar farms would still only represent half the space taken up by golf courses.
And the government has made it clear that climate change, not solar power, is the “biggest medium- to long-term risk” to the nation’s domestic food supply.
“Kennedy, then 28, predicted [in 1945] “Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived”.
“He had in him the stuff of which legends are made,” he continued.
Kennedy wrote the entry in the summer of 1945 after touring the German dictator’s Bavarian mountain retreat.“
The Kennedy assassination conundrum has never been fully resolved, and various possible culprits beyond Lee Harvey Oswald have been identified, among them the Mafia, the CIA, the KGB, MOSSAD, the American “Deep State” connected with Bohemian Grove, even Texans opposed to John Connally (who was injured in the attack).
Kennedy was unusual: a Roman Catholic and somewhat of an outsider in the US power milieu. It may be that he would have wrested control away from the entrenched power elites in the USA had he lived longer.
James O’Brien
I do not much like most of what I have heard from radio loudmouth James O’Brien, but this is worth seeing and hearing:
The answer to all that is real social nationalism, but of that O’Brien would have none…
The film was well-made, and featured a number of famous actors and actresses. Locations in Moscow (maybe), London, Budapest (particularly) and elsewhere.
The plot was a little implausible in parts, as is typical of such films, and the ending even less plausible. Still, not bad. Entertaining, though I easily guessed most of what was going to happen.
[Afterthought, next day: the term “swallows” for KGB sex spies may have come from the similarity of words —in Russian– between “swallow” (bird), which is “lastochka” (ласточка) and “to caress” which is “laskat” (ласкать). I think that I may have cracked it; “give that man a cee-gar”…].

new hospitals in record time (that were left empty). We had the army on standby (never used). We had Zoom waiting in the wings to facilitate online communication. We had 100,000 retired clinicians ready to help (never used). We had 700,000 civilian volunteers (never used).
The argument from these people is that because we weren't prepared to deal with the 'pandemic' in a conventional way, we were forced to take the emergency step of lockdowns. However, it's obvious that lockdowns were the very thing we were perfectly, disturbingly prepared for.
Well, now the system is in place, the illegitimate “laws” and “regulations” are there to be wheeled out again as required, and I have no doubt that State psychologists will have been analyzing the reaction of the public, so that an even more controlled regime can be put in place during the next fake “emergency” (maybe not a “medical” one).
Well, this week I again beat political journalist John Rentoul, but only just, scoring 6/10 to his 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 5, 6, and 7. Amazing that Rentoul apparently did not know where Copacabana is.
The saga of the Royal Mulatta and the Royal Cuck continues
“There are rumours that the cover of Harry’s upcoming tell-all memoir about his horrid life as a royal features a picture not just of him, as you’d expect, but Megs, too. The word emasculated comes to mind.
He has become a walk-on part in The Me-Me-Meghan Show, eclipsed by his wife’s ambition.
I never thought I’d say this, but I feel sorry for Harry.“
I do not take more than a passing interest in the activities of the Meghan and Harry show, but it strikes me that the closest facsimile of their relationship might be that of absurd TV cook Fanny Cradock and her long-suffering husband, Johnnie, whom the ghastly woman treated like a particularly abused servant; almost a serf, in fact.
I recall Fanny Cradock on TV when I was a small child, in the early 1960s, and the crazed creature was on British TV occasionally until the mid 1980s.
“Fanny and Johnnie Cradock began writing a column under the pen name of “Bon Viveur”[5] which appeared in The Daily Telegraph from 1950 to 1955. This sparked a theatre career, with the pair turning theatres into restaurants. Cradock would cook vast dishes that were served to the audience. They became known for their roast turkey, complete with stuffed head, tail feathers and wings. Complete with French accents, their act was one of a drunken hen-pecked husband and a domineering wife. At this time, they were known as Major and Mrs Cradock.”
“[Johnnie] is best remembered as being the long-suffering stooge for his wife in their popular British cooking programmes which were shown from the 1950s to the 1970s. Wearing a traditional blazer and sporting a monocle, he would remain around the back of Fanny’s studio sets awaiting her imperious commands which, when they came, often resulted in his being berated for being too slow.”
Sometimes, “a thought out of season” comes to me, the dystopian idea that the present decline of Western society will be ended not with debates or literary disagreements (or rigged elections) but with some kind of multifaceted “Holy War”…
Nordic noirs (literally)
Yesterday, I watched the first episode of a Swedish detective series. Not sure whether I shall bother to watch the rest, mainly because I found it all rather contrived. What struck me, though, was the number of blacks and browns shown. Is that how Sweden really is now, or have the media people exaggerated the proportion (as they have in almost everything shown about the UK)?
On that same theme, the show had a number of (“British”) ad breaks, each with quite a few ads. Every single ad had blacks or half-castes (“mixed-race” persons, if you like) in it. This is pure propaganda. I know that I have been blogging about this evil campaign for a few years now
but we must never allow it to become normalized, certainly not without at least having dissenting voices heard.
As we know, “the pen is mightier than the sword“, but that is precisely why the enemies of freedom of expression try to “cancel” people, and to take away their right to speak or write.
I had my Twitter account removed in 2018 by reason of the manipulations of the same Jew-Zionists, really just a quite small handful of individuals plotting together, and presenting themselves as if a large and/or “important” organization (the so-called “Campaign Against Anti-Semitism”, or “CAA”, mainly).
The enemies of civilization are of various kinds. May they all end the same way.

It’s so basic. So obvious. So easy to understand. Yet wages have been cut in the name of ‘austerity’ for years and we have more billionaires in the UK than ever before. Many of whom donate to the Tory party. So also basic and obvious to see why nothing changes. #GTTO
I was tweeting in the same vein (before the Jewish lobby had my Twitter account taken away in 2018) for about 7 years, amid the economic illiteracies of the fake (and disastrous) “austerity” policies promoted by the part-Jews George Osborne and David Cameron-Levita, and supported by the part-Japanese sadist Iain Dunce Duncan Smith. I have, also, been blogging along similar lines since late 2016.
If you transfer money to people on low incomes, they spend it (and almost have to spend it), thus stimulating the economy. If you do the same to people on moderate incomes, they will both spend some and invest some, but if you give money to very wealthy people who already have more than enough to satisfy both needs and wants, they will mostly park that money in hedging assets such as real property (and thus drive up the current value of such assets without actually helping the economy).
In essence, that is why it is better to have at least moderate redistribution of wealth.
But one ally says “If he ever wanted to (lead the party again), of course that option is still there for him in the future. “The Red Wall without Boris has gone now,” another says. “Those people didn’t vote for the Tories, they voted for Brexit and they voted for Boris.”
One MP amazed Sunak went ahead with building a swimming pool on his Yorkshire estate. When a photo emerged of the building works this month: “On what planet does he live? There’s a heatwave, he’s building his own pool and people are scrambling to afford bills. Imagine that as PM”
Never a word in the msm or on these online comment sites about how a foreigner should never be Prime Minister of this country, even if one of his passports is “British”.
.@RachelReevesMP confided to fellow MPs her central assessment that Sunak had simply failed to plan for soaring energy bills, even when it was obvious they would rise before the Ukraine invasion. “He’s a hedge fund manager who doesn’t even know how to hedge,” she said, acidly.

Further to the above, I happened to hear a story about yet another example of the all-too-typical NHS maladministration and inability to make logical and useful decisions.
The story came to me third-hand, admittedly, but is believed to be accurate.
A lady who is apparently registered blind (I myself do not know her) was asked to attend an eye clinic at Poole, in Dorset. This is, again, apparently (I have no personal knowledge of it), a new NHS eye clinic, so this is not a case of some old and unrenovated NHS building.
The lady in question was told by the NHS that no ambulance would be available to take her from her home in the New Forest to Poole, but that local taxi companies offered discounted fares. The “discounted fare” turned out to be £100 (return-trip). The lady concerned is a very aged pensioner.
It gets worse. It seems that the eye clinic, on the top floor of a 7-storey building, has only stairs or an escalator; no lift. The escalator does not go to the top two floors of the building, and the blind old lady cannot use escalators without assistance anyway, I am told, so if she went there she would have to go up some 14 flights of stairs unaided, at the age of, I think, 90 or more.
Result? That lady will not be able to attend that clinic.
Leaving aside the individual case, what does that say about the ability of NHS people to plan and design properly? Not much to their credit, I think.

ENGLAND 2001: White British: 43 million Other: 6 million
ENGLAND 2021: White British: 40 million Other: 19 million
One of the most sad and indeed angering aspects of the UK in recent years has been the trashing of the charity sector, not because of lack of money but because of politicization and near-embezzlement (paying of often mediocre top staff huge salaries). The damage has mostly been done by those who themselves work in the charities.
We have seen, for example, sex scandals in Oxfam, Save the Children and others. Readers might recall the scandals around sex-pest Brendan Cox, who was married to assassinated Labour MP Jo Cox. He was paid something like £300,000 a year, despite coming from a fairly mediocre academic and work background (though, as always these days, “bigged-up”, in the rather crude current phrase: see https://uk.linkedin.com/in/brendan-cox-433b364).
£300,000 per year, to be not even the head of Save the Children, but the (I believe) third-in-command. People on modest incomes give their pounds and pennies to such organizations, only for, in that case, the top three in the set-up to have creamed off a million pounds a year in salaries alone. Disgrace.
The charity sector in the UK is a totally “rotten borough”. Look at the recent activities of the RNLI and National Trust. The former has been operating what amounts to a ferry service for migrant-invaders, and I read that thousands of virtue-signallers have as a result donated to it! When the provision of housing and healthcare is stretched to snapping point because of mass immigration, I suppose that those idiots will not even once blame their own encouragement of the invasion.
As to the RNLI itself, it has obviously been infiltrated at a high level.
National Trust? I think that the cartoons below say enough:
I am very much in favour of charitable work but, as a sector, the whole charitable area has gone badly astray, and in a number of ways.
This winter?
Was sent this (inc. the photograph). Source unknown, but sounds correct:
“As we speak there’s a UK government department working with consultants on a strategy for controlling dissent this winter.
There will be a wall to wall media campaign of “blitz spirit” images of families and the multiracial Britain wearing jumpers and socks for Ukraine, with the blame aimed at Vladolf Putler.
This message will then be disseminated through the population by media addicted busybody women looking for the latest do-good cause and fuel poverty marches will get zero media coverage.
This is how control of liberal democracies works now. You’re all atomised individuals, capital owns media and the NPCs enforce the dominant narrative sufficiently.”

How fucking dare Nadhim Zahawi, he who billed us to heat his stables is telling us to cut back on our energy consumption this winter, how fucking dare he, I've had enough of patronising rubbish from greedy, selfish, grasping on the take tories, get these fuckers out…
Looking at those tweets, I actually had to remind myself that Zahawi is, for the moment, Chancellor of the Exchequer. A bloody Kurd from Baghdad, who only arrived in the UK when 11 years old.
What a mess this country is in! Hardly any of the last few governments have even had many white English MPs in the top jobs. Jews, part-Jews, Indians, blacks, half-castes, a Kurd…you name it.
On top of that, this particular non-Brit is one of the most corrupt persons possible to have in the once-exalted job of Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Had (as I have been blogging for years) the UK forged closer links with Russia and its people, we should have been able to buy Russian gas at knockdown prices, and would not now be facing shortages of energy, and our people going cold because of UK Government policy.
Nadhim Zahawi is just another gaslighting Tory £multi millionaire. REALITY We now get ZERO PERCENT of our gas or oil from Russia with the vast majority coming British based North Sea companies & Norway who are blatantly profiteering from the war in Ukraine.#EnoughIsEnoughpic.twitter.com/eloFoxrvFw
The difference being that the profits in Norway go into their sovereign wealth fund, used for the benefit of the Norwegian people, whereas the “British” gas companies profiteer for the benefit of parasitic banks and investment companies, as well as for multimillionaire shareholders.

I have previously blogged once or twice how I visited the UK bacteriological research centre at Porton Down with a Mr. Komisarenko [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko], the then Ukrainian Ambassador, and the Scientific Attache of the Ukrainian Embassy in London. That was in or about 1994, I believe. The Ambassador had an educational background in microbiology. According to Wikipedia, he is now, or until recently was, the director of such a laboratory in Ukraine.
A commentator on the blog reminded me of the clip below, not seen for a long time:
[when not accepted as a “world leader”…]
I still think that the most telling thing about Greta Thunberg is how the decadent mainstream media, politicians etc at least pretend to take this uneducated and afflicted girl (now 19) as some kind of sage, when actually she has nothing to offer. It says something about the world we are in today.
I thought that it was worth reposting those tweets, which refer to the Twitter storm around “Jack” Monroe, aka “Bootstrap Cook” (mentioned in yesterday’s blog).
I have no particular animus against “Bootstrap Cook”, and I should imagine that many find her recipes and other advice very useful [see https://cookingonabootstrap.com/category/recipes-food/], but it is clear that she herself is not (now) in what most people would regard as poverty.
Was I myself “in poverty” when I returned to London? It certainly seemed so!
Think living in a single room in a flat (provided by a friend of a friend— eventually, and very belatedly, months later, paid for by Housing Benefit). Think living largely off tiny State benefit for 3-4 months (monies also delayed for weeks). Think having to be a little bit “creative” in finding ways to travel around London, and equally “creative” in finding out how to increase supply of food and reading material (mainly books).
Yet only a few years before, I had quite often been paid, as Counsel, £1,000 or more for often quite brief (less than half a day) appearances in the High Court or elsewhere.
Later, living in the former Soviet Union in 1996-97, my home was a kind of large penthouse with a very wide wraparound balcony, I had a former MVD car and driver to ferry me to my office etc, a Rolex Seadweller on my wrist, and I rarely carried less than USD $5,000 on my person.
Incidentally, barristers reading this might sneer at the modesty of those High Court fees (perhaps a tenth or a twentieth of the fees some now get and even back then received), but this was 1993-95, nearly 30 years ago, and I was only just out of pupillage (on-the-job training). Anyway, it seemed good at the time to me.
What those born into wealth usually fail to know, having never experienced it, is how quickly a comfortable lifestyle can disappear, without personal capital or family money as a safety net.
When I was living on pennies —and my wits— in the London of March-June 1998, I often walked past Julie’s restaurant in Notting Hill, a restaurant patronized by film stars and other “celebrities”, and a place which I had previously visited several times, only 2-3 years before, and arriving in a large white Mercedes (a girlfriend’s car).
Maybe 3 years later, in 1998, I would have been unable to buy a coffee in the same restaurant, and I wondered whether those staring out of the windows could perceive somehow just how poor I was (maybe a subjective and resentful thought: after all, the Rolex may have gone, but I was still clad in an Austin Reed overcoat and Dents leather gloves etc).
There is no need for me to say more about that very pinched time in my life. Adolf Hitler had it worse, in the Vienna of 1909-1912. Eventually, my several months of poverty came to an end and then, less than a year after I had returned penniless to London, I was spending time living in a villa in the Caribbean, with a private beach (in effect), though those sometimes pleasant months sadly did not become sybaritic years (though I did spend much of 1999 in and around the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico— several Caribbean islands, and the Gulf Coast of Florida).
I later had more ups and downs, but that is enough for today.
I do not know a great deal in detail about “Jack” Monroe, the Bootstrap Cook, but I would guess that she knows a lot about “precarious” life in the Britain of today. Occasional poverty, occasional plenty, but not much security either way.
Many many people in Britain in 2022 are part of that “precariat”. This has political implications. Labour was the party of the industrial “proletariat”, mainly, a class which is now all but non-existent. “Bootstrap Cook”, leaving aside her personal predilections, is in that sense far more typical of the masses than would be the Soviet-style miner, rail worker, or other member of the organized labour force, insofar as such people still exist in the UK.
If there were a credible social-national movement in the UK, the “Bootstrap Cook” would probably not support it, but the “precariat” in general would, especially as inflation, low pay, and low State benefits all start to bite.
However I am always baffled by the house sale she had which made £3000. I'm in my mid 30s and I don't think the 2nd hand value of everything I own gets to £3k, and her sale was 10 years ago. She either had a lot of stuff or it was all very expensive stuff.
…on the other hand, Bootstrap Cook is, after all, from Essex, the home of “bling”…
Meanwhile, though the @norfolkchatter1 Twitter account has disappeared, the storm around the Bootstrap Cook has, if anything, intensified, with many Twit-people (including the terminally “woke”) supporting her, but also with many others either criticizing her or demanding to know exactly how much capital or income she really has at her disposal, and asking whether she is exploiting people who donate to her when they really cannot afford to do so.
[Incidentally, I do not know anyone involved in either of the two GoFundMe appeals above; I just happened to see them].
“Covid” “panicdemic”
Looks like reality has started, finally, to break through…
If thousands had been killed, millions more injured, families torn apart, economy & health service wrecked, the moral fabric of society left in tatters and I was the little shit who paid for it all, I probably wouldn’t dare pipe up later to say, “Well that was stupid wasn’t it.”
And it’s not as if they can claim not to have heard us. They very much acknowledged us. They referred to us, labelled us, othered us, chastised us, sacked us, cancelled us, censored us.

Sometimes I wonder what, WHAT, would make the mass of British people wake up to the “panicdemic”, the nonsense measures such as facemask-wearing that were part of the scam, or to the “support Ukraine” propaganda or, as in that tweet, the very real dangers of the “Covid” “vaccines”, but I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that nothing, nothing at all, will awaken the masses. A “victory” by a football team, or whatever absolute shite is on “reality” (unreality) TV that week, and the real and important issues are forgotten again.
Maybe after the nuclear war with Russia that so many have been brainwashed into (as they imagine) wanting to see, the survivors will see their reality more clearly.
Remarkably, the wolves also changed the flow of Yellowstone's rivers. River channels straightened and stabilized, and coastal erosion decreased. This happened because the influence of wolves on deer led to the explosive growth of trees along the banks of the rivers. 6/n

My answer: give considerable incentives for doctors to work past 60, but at the same time compel young doctors to work in the NHS for 10 years minimum once qualified, if their training has been paid for out of State funds. They should not be allowed to emigrate to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA etc until they have completed that obligation.

Elon Musk discovered that Twitter is a massive scam operation. That is why he pulled out of the purchase, before he wasted billions of dollars.
It is pretty clear now, that elements of NWO/ZOG are using Twitter both to gather intelligence material on a huge scale, and also to manipulate public opinion worldwide, and that that latter is why so many of the better Twitter “accounts” (such as mine, in 2018) have been shut down over the past few years, a programme now intensified.
Dissident voices , especially white Northern European ones, are choked off. We saw that during the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic, we see it around the “black lives matter” nonsense, “climate change” (through CO2 emissions), the Jewish “anti-Semitism” noise and, this year, the unthinking pro-“Ukraine” (Zelensky regime) propaganda campaign.
Illiterate “journalists”, and an unpleasant though commonplace crime
“The cameras were setup after an ‘unprecedented’ amount of vandalism including shelters destroyed and someone trying to break into the club shed. So far it’s costed the club around £3,000.”
[Daily Mirror]
“So far it’s costed...”, scribbles the Daily Mirror “journalist”, one Charlie Jones.
The rest of the story is also poorly-written.
There are several aspects of interest here.
Here we have a journalist, writing for a major newspaper, a graduate (I believe), and who has therefore been through about 16 or 17 years of full-time education of some sort, yet who struggles to write a literate sentence.
Typical of that which one sees in many newspapers online, particularly the Mirror and Daily Mail.
Leaving aside the scribbler, and moving to the substance of the story, the attitude of the police was not only absurdly politically-correct but also wrong in law (as the Mirror report does point out). The police showed themselves to be, all too typically, near-useless.
I have to say that it seems to me that the young vandals involved were far more culpable than both the police and the victims seemed to think, having planned their vandalism carefully (though not carefully enough).
Just as well that I had to sell my last Rolex (a Seadweller) in 2009, though not because of crime (I just ran out of money). I would not wear one today in London or anywhere else. In any case, I have become accustomed to doing without a watch.
Surely the police could have mobile covert surveillance units stationed on roofs in the worst-affected areas, using high-grade optics like the East German border guards used to have?

A nice story, but what gives me pause is that someone might have found it apparently lost, then sheltered and fed the cat for 11 years, and might have grown as attached as were the original humans; possibly more attached. Looks as though the cat may have become lost for a second time, perhaps, reading the report.
Difficult to say what is right.
It recalls to mind those German people in East Berlin and elsewhere within the DDR, and who fled to the West in the 1940s and 1950s, and then, after 1989, returned with evidence of their former residence and/or ownership. In some cases, they were able to displace those who, for decades, had called such flats or houses their homes. Not so easy to judge, morally.
