This week, I once again managed to beat political journalist John Rentoul, scoring 6/10 as against his 4/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 7, 8, and 9 (though in fact the only completely impossible question was no.3; the others I had heard of but could not bring to mind).

Another person who, in his well-meaning lack of full understanding, thinks that the problem lies with, in this case, Twitter office staff (or Facebook staff, or some newspaper people, or some MPs etc), rather than what might be called “Zionist Occupation Government” [ZOG] and the New World Order [NWO] agenda.
The same sort of well-meaning people often write that “Jews are only a religion” (etc)…
I agree, much as I despise the “Conservatives”. A Labour government would mean Jewish-lobby puppets Yvette Cooper and Rachel Reeves as Cabinet ministers. Nein danke!

The USA still has massive nuclear weapons destructive power, but is a colossus on legs of straw, “led”, officially, by a President who is plainly afflicted by old-age dementia.

Interesting analysis, much of which agrees with my own:
The above analysis goes astray towards the end, when it talks about a massive insurgency after an expected Russian victory and occupation. That analysis leaves out the fact that most of the potential Ukrainian insurgents fighting the potential Russian occupation forces would be west of the Dnieper.
I should not expect a continuing Russian occupation west of the Dnieper, except around Kiev and, also, on the Black Sea littoral.
The other factor not given full weight is Russian air power, not only missiles but also planes. Russia has a total of 3,000-4,000 (some estimates say 4,500) fighter aircraft alone (obviously not all on the “Ukrainian front”), whereas Ukraine is said to have about 67. Even if only a third of the Russian fighter strength (and at the lower total) were to be deployed to the relevant theatre, that would be 1,000 jet fighters against as few as 50 Ukrainian. 20 to 1…

1. The polio story as you learned it is wrong. It’s one of the most often misunderstood sequence of events in the last two hundred years. I wanted to explain a few things about the disease to help people understand what actually happened. pic.twitter.com/xT7YjIb4kZ
3. One of the next mentions was from Louisiana in 1841. A few children came down with paralysis. The supposed cause: teething. Why would teething be associated with paralysis?https://t.co/t9r316h7N1
5. This was a new phenomenon: Doctors had never seen it before and didn’t know why it was happening. Research began to reveal that the cause of paralysis were lesions on the grey part of the spinal cord.
7. A poliomyelitis was a lesion on your spinal cord. You could have more than one of them. But they didn’t know why children had begun developing them, seemingly out of nowhere.
11. This wasn’t a fringe treatment, but something as common as Tylenol might be considered today. If the metal arsenic was known to cause poliomyelitis, then perhaps, so could mercury.
13. A new pesticide was invented in 1892 called lead arsenate near Boston, Mass to combat the spread of a foreign invader—the gypsy moth. It combined lead and arsenic together because it couldn’t be easily washed off.https://t.co/U4tey0vS6r
15. The pesticide began being sprayed aggressively and within two years, the first real epidemics of poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) began to appear in the northeastern U.S. Rather than a few children coming down with something, it started getting into the hundreds.
17. I say strange because the poliovirus doesn’t affect animals (besides Old World Monkeys). These early outbreaks are referred to as the first polio outbreaks in the U.S., but we know it couldn’t have been due to the poliovirus if animals were being struck.
19. Koch’s Postulates were some research guidelines that basically stipulated there was a single causative microbe for every disease. It WAS true for all of the other diseases: cholera, typhoid fever, diphtheria.
21. But the cloud of Koch’s Postulates hung over their research, and many scientists felt that—like all the other diseases—poliomyelitis HAD to be due to ONE thing: a bacteria or a virus. They just had to find it.
23. At this time, viruses were still very difficult to work with. They couldn’t see them, only deduce their presence by the symptoms they might cause. In 1908, a virus was found to be able to cause paralysis in monkeys.https://t.co/ciMlSmOLVl
25. With Koch’s Postulates guiding their search, they began to focus on this one virus as THE cause of poliomyelitis, despite knowing there were many other causes. This mistake would create suffering for millions of people over the next few decades.
27. Some have suggested improvements in sanitation as the cause. They suggest that better sanitation prevented people from picking up the infections as children, when they were protected by their mother’s breastmilk antibodies.
29. Also, the early outbreaks were always in rural areas, where there was little change in sanitation practices. Not coincidentally, these rural areas were subjected to heavy pesticide spraying.
31. I believe ingested pesticides, known to cause cellular membrane dysfunction, created a path directly from the intestines to the bottom of the spinal cord, located directly behind, for the viruses and bacteria to take hold.
I cannot repost the whole thread (56 tweets) but it is interesting. I myself have no idea how accurate it is, and am unqualified to judge what is said, but have posted the above with the idea that others might be able to take it further.
Hardly worth blogging about the result of the Southend West result but, for the record, the Conservative Party candidate won as expected, and with 86.1% of the vote, though on a pathetic turnout of 24%, and without the other main System parties standing: Labour, LibDem, and also Greens, absented themselves from the contest.
All other candidates lost their deposits. The second-placed was some character who wants drug decriminalization, and called himself the Psychedelic Party. His vote-share was 3.4%.
As for the “nationalist” candidates, Steve Laws (UKIP)— 2.7%; Catherine Blaiklock (English Democrats)— 2.2%; Jayda Fransen— 2%. Bearing in mind that this was the ideal chance to pick up protest votes, pretty unimpressive.
The real “protest vote” was the fact that 76% of those eligible to vote abstained. In fact, the abstainers together with those who voted for candidates other than the Con candidate comprised over 90% of those eligible to vote in the by-election.
Other thoughts arising: as noted previously, that England does not have any credible social-national or even conservative-nationalist party, and that, that being so, the voters treat the underwhelming candidates that do exist (and stand in elections) with, not even contempt, but indifference.
When the present UK government started to throw money at the “panicdemic”, paying millions to stay home, paying businesses which otherwise might go into insolvency, the msm “experts” all applauded Indian “clever boy” Rishi Sunak and, of course, Boris-idiot. A few voices worried about the inflationary effects, but they were treated as near idiots. Peter Hitchens was one of the few inthe ranks of msm scribblers.
Almost everyone seemed to think that the “furlough” holiday season was cost-free. Now look. True, energy prices are from another direction, but the rest can be laid at the door of the effective devaluation of the currency. Now we read that inflation may reach 7%! A couple of years ago it was 2%.
Still think that all those furlough payments, “eat out to help out”, and business support schemes came at no cost? If you do, what can I say or suggest? That you should stand outside your house and clap until told to stop?
Officials said inflation, which is already at 5.4%, would peak higher than the 5% it predicted in November, when a simultaneous rise in energy prices, minimum wages and national insurance contributions comes into effect on April 1 https://t.co/vzdrM7za54

💬 #Zakharova: I would like to congratulate our capital on the fact that @UNHABITAT named Moscow as the city with the most developed infrastructure and quality of life, among world cities, putting it in first place ☝️
If so, Moscow must have changed much since I was last there. On my (only two) visits there (1993 and 2007), the same thought occurred to me: Moscow is not a comfortable or convenient city. It is not even a question of money spent; whether you pay out plenty or not, everything conspires to make you feel dissatisfied.
As a matter of fact, I found it easier to get by there, on a daily basis, in 1993, than on a later fairly brief visit in 2007.

The post-1945 order in Europe fell to pieces after 1989. Russia now has the chance to reset the post-1989 agenda, but that means, inter alia, seizing Eastern Ukraine, Kiev, and the Black Sea littoral. So far, the tanks have not started to roll. It is now —within the next weeks— or never, probably.
“There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.“
[Shakespeare, Julius Caesar]
Literary note:
“Brutus and Cassius are discussing the final phase of their civil war with the forces of Octavian and Marcus Antonius. Cassius has been urging that they group their forces at Sardis and take advantage of the secure location to catch their breath. Brutus, however, advocates heading off the enemy at Philippi before Octavian can recruit more men. Brutus’s main point is that, since “the enemy increaseth every day” and “We, at the height, are ready to decline” (lines 216–217), he and Cassius must act now while the ratio of forces is most advantageous. “There’s a tide in the affairs of men,” he insists; that is, power is a force that ebbs and flows in time, and one must “go with the flow.” Waiting around only allows your power to pass its crest and begin to ebb; if the opportunity is “omitted” (missed), you’ll find yourself stranded in miserable shallows.” [Shakespeare Quotes]

Russia today is not the old Soviet Union, with its worldwide hegemonic aims, and its Marxist-Leninist ideology; it is basically defensive. However, a basically defensive strategy can include specific offensive capabilities and operations. The point is that the “West”, particularly Western Europe, and Central Europe, has nothing to fear from Russia unless Russia is attacked or provoked too far.
Shocked. Today I started down the road to residential care for two lovely parents. It’ll cost them £3k a week (£1.5each) until their hard earned savings & house are gone. Then the State will pay just £600 a week each. They will subsidise the system after a lifetime of graft.
I saw the same with my late mother-in-law. Having said that, the costs of care (even basic care) are huge, and the private organizations doing it are often a rip-off. Also, there is the point that the market value of real property has exploded in the UK over the past half-century, and that has intensified since 2000 or so. Thus the “net worth” of many has accumulated not because of the “graft” they have done in their lives, but partly, perhaps largely, because of the febrile UK property marketplace, burning hot because of cheap money and government policy.
There are many who do not have houses worth £500,000, a million, or more. There is an argument that the taxpayers, including all those poor people without real property, should not have to protect the inheritance expectations of the offspring of those who have accumulated capital via over-valued houses.

I have little to add to that which I have written in the last few days and weeks.
In the final analysis, if Russia hesitates now, its one chance to reset the NWO/ZOG agenda will have been lost. In a year’s time, any invasion of Ukraine will be ten times more difficult than it is now. This is not only a chance to seize Eastern Ukraine and Kiev (and possibly also Odessa and the littoral from Trans-Dniestria to Crimea, including the estuary of the Dnieper), but also a chance to redraw, strategically, the map of Europe as a whole, and a chance to derail the 2022-2055 agenda of the New World Order.
As to the flying visit to Kiev (yesterday) of Boris-idiot, there is really no point in blogging about it; a clown visiting a clown.
That's a worryingly vague law, isn't it? Literally anything can be defined as "likely" to cause harm, depending on who you ask.
The words “Nadine Dorries, Culture Secretary” or, indeed “Nadine Dorries, Cabinet minister” seem impossible, but that is where Britain now is, under the part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer and liar now posing as Prime Minister.
This latest attempt to impose a full, and Zionist-permeated, police state, must be met with far more force than was the “Poll Tax” some 30 years ago.
This latest repression has obviously been instigated by (((the usual suspects))). “They” are the problem, or the main problem, when it comes to free speech, and general freedom of expression, in this country (and in the rest of Europe).
The by-election is to be held tomorrow. It is not a very interesting contest, in that Lab, LibDem, and Greens are all absent, out of (they say) “respect” for the previous, and assassinated, MP.
As I have previously noted, that leaves only a ragbag of minor candidates, of which the best seems to be Steve Laws (UKIP), though I have little time for what is left of the UKIP conservative nationalists. Still, if anyone in Southend West wants a protest vote, Laws is the right choice.
I suppose that turnout will be very low; we shall see. Anyone who voted Labour, LibDem, or Green last time is completely disenfranchised in this pseudo-democratic farce, and will feel unable to support any of the minor candidates standing. Many former Conservative Party voters will also not bother to vote, I should expect.
Anyone of a broadly “national” or social-national orientation has a choice, though a poor one: Jayda Fransen (Independent), Steve Laws (UKIP), or Catherine Blaiklock (English Democrats). “Heritage” and “English Constitution” (whatever that may be) are also standing.
Of the above lot, I think that Steve Laws is the best choice for a protest vote.
I have blogged about it previously: the voters’ dilemma, meaning a hostile, anti-British, indeed non-British, Government, effectively controlled by Jew-Zionists, and an ineffective, useless, anti-British and largely non-British Opposition, also controlled by Zionists…
What now? There is no real democracy; neither is there proper government.

Putin’s putdown of the Downing Street clown was classic: refusing to waste time on “Boris” by scheduling another call after the first one never happened. “Close the door on your way out”…
On a more serious level of speculation, looking again at a map of the region, it occurs to me that Putin could go a bit further than I previously speculated.
[Daily Mail speculation]
I see that the Daily Mail‘s “experts” have concurred with my view expressed recently, that Russia might decide that the right strategy is to seize Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper river), as well as the Kiev area, but leave the more hostile Western Ukraine until it can be secured by a puppet, or at least pro-Russian, new government in Kiev.
I now go beyond that to wonder whether Russia might not also take Odessa (on that map, “Odesa“, the Ukrainian spelling).
Odessa is close geographically to the very pro-Russian breakaway “state” or “statelet” of Trans-Dniestria, by Moldova, where Russian forces are stationed, and only 100 miles or so from Crimea, now again part of Russia, and the location of its Black Sea Fleet.
Odessa’s population is nearly one-third Russian.
Were both Kiev and Odessa taken, along with Eastern Ukraine, then Russia would control all but one (Lvov, “Lviv” on the map) of the half-dozen most-populous cities of Ukraine, and its one major port (Odessa). That would leave any rebellious rump-Ukraine centred on Lvov as a weak “state”, and with no way of easily building up military power, or even importing and exporting except by land through Poland or Hungary.

This situation has been building up for years. There was an understanding, when the Soviet Union collapsed or, more accurately, faded away, that NATO would not expand its membership or operations.
NATO, after all, only existed in the first place as a solidification of the Western alliance of the Second World War, and then only because of the massive Soviet military presence both in the western Soviet Union itself and also in Eastern and Central Europe: the “Pribaltika” (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), Poland, the DDR/East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and, until 1955, Austria (the last foreign troops occupying Austria left in 1955). NATO was established in 1949, the Warsaw Pact in 1955 (after West Germany joined NATO). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact.
The USA (really NWO) also established the South East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) on the other side of the Eurasian landmass.
[2021: NATO member-states in green]
[NATO timeline: existing members in dark-blue, new members in light-blue, non-members in grey]
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist (formally in 1991, but in reality from 1989-90).
There was an opportunity in the early 1990s for a real partnership between the West and the former Soviet Union, but it failed for several reasons: among others, the wish for nominal “independence” on the part of areas that had been part of the Soviet Union and, before then, the Russian Empire; the wish on the part of “Western” companies, law firms etc to exploit Russian and other people and resources; a wish on the part of the NWO to rule Russia, in effect; the collaboration of Jew “oligarchs” with the “Western” gameplan in the Yeltsin era.
The Confederation of Independent States [“CIS”] was, unfortunately, blown apart by the combination of post-Soviet nationalism(s) (in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia etc) and the infiltration of American military activities into the newly-independent states around Russia.
Some of the former satellites (Poland etc), were keen to join NATO after their experience of Soviet occupation, and effective Soviet rule, over many decades.
NATO has, since the 1980s, got involved in South-Central Asia, the Middle East etc. Far from its original geographical area and purpose. It is the NWO battering-ram.
We have seen NATO “pushing the envelope” over recent years; not only in Ukraine, but in Georgia and elsewhere. However, things have now progressed to the point at which Russia cannot accept more encroachment.
The Soviet Union had an ideology of world domination, albeit muted in latter decades. It was a serious danger to Western Europe. Russia now has no such ideology, and is basically defensive. It poses no danger to Western Europe, unless constantly provoked.
The USA is now beefing up the forces of the Kiev government, so Russia would be advised to strike earlier rather than later.
There should be an institute, similar to SS-Ahnenerbe but focussed more on the future rather than (only) on the historical and prehistorical past, to examine all such questions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnenerbe.

One of Bentine’s most interesting recounted experiences was when he and his father accompanied someone (obviously some kind of occult initiate) to a hidden place in a Kent wood at night, not long before the Second World War, and where they were greeted by the entire realm of Nature present, animals, birds, insects, and plants.

This photograph of Palestinians commemorating the Tantura massacre in 1947 while israelis relax on the beach is the perfect encapsulation of what israel was built on and what it continues to be pic.twitter.com/QKidzn187U
…imagine the scream the Jew-Zionist lobby would raise if people in the UK engaged in family recreational activities anywhere near the Jews’ endless “holocaust” “remembrance” photo-opportunities, even in England where no such massacres ever took place, not in the past 700+ years anyway.
Through oral history recordings and well-presented research, TANTURA lays out how atrocities were committed by Israeli forces during the founding of the state in 1948. Long suppressed, this is a difficult and vital record that challenges Israel’s founding myth about itself. 4.5/5 pic.twitter.com/JmA7eAwyoT
As if the Tantura massacre by the Zionist terrorists was any kind secret. This will only be a revelation to Nakba deniers. The whole of “Israel” is built over Palestinian mass graves and the ruins of hundreds of towns and villages. https://t.co/e6EAzIQOLe
Germany was devastated during the 1941-1945 period of history; it does not want that to happen, and even worse, a second time. (True, Estonia suffered greatly as well…).
Here's a time-lapse of all of the United Kingdom to #Ukraine weapons airlift flights from the morning of the 17th of January to this very minute on the 19th of January 2022. The UK has no intention of letting Ukraine fall. pic.twitter.com/p4DcNv25mt
Who pays for propaganda-journalism of that type? As for the ludicrous conclusion that “the UK has no intention of letting Ukraine fall“, it will take more than a few tweets by Liz Truss, a few remarks by Boris-idiot, and a few planes filled with weapons, to ensure that. How many such flights were sent to the equally-useless and corrupt Afghan government in Kabul?
I wonder whether Biden might accept any Russian offer to decide the matter by a referendum of the people of Eastern Ukraine? I suppose not, because 90% would want to separate from Ukraine and, in some way, cohere with Russia.
Putin will, in these last days, still try to “win without war”, in the words of Sun-Tzu, but as every day passes, more arms and ammo are flown into Ukraine by the USA, UK and others. That obviously makes a swift invasion, at least into Eastern Ukraine, more likely.

Almost all correct from Rory Stewart, but is he correct in saying that Britain is still “a great country”? I think not. Not now. It could be, though, that under the right ideology and the right leadership, Britain could rise again, if it changed some demographics and some habits.
Rory Stewart, in 2007, in order to gain more space for his growing staff, Stewart orchestrated the eviction on an impoverished Afghan family with ten children. https://t.co/wNLuGdoNeZ
Of course, Stewart is no longer an MP, and so could not, as things stand, be a Conservative Party leadership candidate.

Actually frightening, not just because the author explicitly commends what he calls the “brownification” of Europe, but also because he thinks that the population of the world is not really very high, whereas the truth is that the natural world is now breaking under the strain of numbers, most of which hordes are non-white.
When was it that the journalistic trade in London became almost entirely Jewish? I suppose sometime in the 1980s or 1990s. Certainly, looking at what was once “Fleet Street”, that trade has become so and, today, almost every newspaper scribbler, at least in the national Press, seems to be Jewish, or at least partly so.

Americans were asked to fill in a blank map of Europe.
I wonder what percentage of Americans want war with Russia over Ukraine or Eastern Ukraine? Whatever the answer to that, I imagine that the figure drops towards zero if those polled are told that war with Russia means a nuclear attack near to their own homes.
One notices that, on UK Twitter, many of the fanatical Jew-Zionists, who have been harassing non-Jews (and even some anti-Zionist Jews) for years, either have pseudonymous “sock accounts”, or hide full-time behind pseudonyms. Some have been exposed, some not (as yet). Time to go en ratissage, to see if others can be uncovered.
Not mentioned in that Times of Israel report is the fact that the fugitive Jew(s) (how many of them are there?) also targeted brave and now-deceased “revisionist” historian (surely most good historians are revisionist?), Robert Faurisson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Faurisson], in poor health at the time. Well, you would not expect decent behaviour from “them”, would you? In that respect, “they” never disappoint.

Rachel Reeves is glad 200,000 members have left the Labour Party because they don't share her values.
— Frank Owen's Legendary Paintbrush🥀🇵🇸🇱🇧🇾🇪 (@OwenPaintbrush) January 20, 2022
Rachel Reeves, MP, Shadow Cabinet minister under Keir Starmer, and (of course) a member of Labour Friends of Israel (like the rest of the Shadow Cabinet). I have as yet been unable to discover whether she is part-Jewish or not; my instinct is that she is, but I have as yet no direct evidence of the fact, if it is a fact.
There is a ~33-year cycle, as I have blogged on previous occasions: 1923, 1956, 1989, 2022.
The New World Order was proclaimed openly by President Bush snr. in early 1990. Socialism collapsed worldwide from the 1989 pivot-year, symbolized of course by the literal collapse of the Berlin Wall. South Africa was destroyed as a white European country in Africa, destroyed from within. The UK Labour Party removed “Clause Four” (nationalization etc) from its Constitution in the early 1990s. The USA started its campaign of attacking Iraq, in order to remove the anti-Israel states in general; since then, we have seen Iraq, Syria, Libya and Lebanon effectively neutralized, and Egypt controlled from a distance by bribery and infiltration. A few examples…
The post-1989 effect ripples on, as do the effects from 1956 etc. A new impetus is now brought in, which can be summarized as putting into effect, as far as possible, the “White Genocide” implicit in the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, meaning the destruction of white Europe, and its replacement by a mixed race population, ruled over and/or influenced by (brainwashed by) Jews and part-Jews. That, and the microchipping of the population of the Earth, starting with the advanced countries.
That silly woman, “@furnessgirl”, used to attack me on Twitter before the Jew-Zionist lobby had me expelled. Typical of much of the self-describing “Left” (a meaningless descriptor) on Twitter. Seems to be, like so many of them, fairly comfortably-off, and lives far away from the multikulti urban hellholes which she thinks should be “enriched” by more mass immigration; and so on.
What a surprise— not only a Remain whiner but, as we see so many times, yet another one totally brainwashed by the “panicdemic” propaganda.
How typical of the “@furnessgirl” type to dismiss a man such as Henry Williamson with the dismissive or “cancelling” (?) “…a fascist“. Someone who loved animals and wanted to protect them; someone who wanted to avoid a second disastrous 20thC war in Europe (he fought in the first one); someone who saw the good National Socialism had brought to Germany.
As I said, a silly woman, who thinks that she is very clever.
In fairness to her, though, I do agree with her tweet below:
One of the things that infuriate me is that you can be almost certain that, if a British schoolteacher or trainee schoolteacher appears on a TV quiz show, he/she/it will be frighteningly ignorant.
It is hardly surprising that children in the UK so often come out of up to 13 years of full-time primary and secondary education almost devoid of any real knowledge at all, when those who have taught them are themselves often unbelievably ignorant.
I think that a very great deal of the huge amount of money (£99 Billion p.a. at present, 4.5% of national income) which the UK state spends on “education” (as it fondly supposes), is just wasted. https://ifs.org.uk/publications/15858.
[Update, 19 January 2023: “@FurnessGirl” was finally expelled from Twitter for her ignorant trolling, but has returned under cover of “@ScouseLakes”].

In the late 1930s, Britain and France started to offer worthless guarantees to states in Central and Eastern Europe. When Poland called in the chit, in September 1939, and despite the fact that both Britain and France did declare war on the German Reich because of the invasion of Poland by the German Reich, the chit or guarantee was worth nothing.
Poland was still invaded (indeed also invaded from the East, by Soviet forces). No French or British forces fought (or ever could have fought) in or for Poland. As for the Soviet Union, Britain and France did even less to stop its 1939 invasion of Poland; even the words were muted.
Now we see the UK, which has virtually no useful armed forces anyway, alternately threatening Russia (over Ukraine, which was part of the Muscovite state for well over a thousand years, and has had less than 30 recent years of chaotic and corrupt “independence”), and then back-pedalling. The less Liz Truss says, the less foolish she will seem.
Take the hint, part 94. Lavrov on Jan 17th: "Our patience has been exhausted. We are very patient. You know what they say about how long Russians take to harness their horses? We harness them slowly but then it’s time to ride." https://t.co/xaxG805Vtn
When push comes to shove, what then? The USA has been pumping weapons and money into the Kiev regime’s reserves. Let’s say that Russia annexes Eastern Ukraine, where the population are heavily pro-Russian. The shambolic army and militias of the Kiev regime will be defeated. Will the USA declare then war on Russia? I very much doubt that. Obviously, the same applies to the UK. That is not even a question.
Having said that, even if the Russian leaders would prefer to achieve victory without having to fight, there is no doubt that they will fight if they have to. That applies particularly knowing, as they do, that the opposing forces are unable to resist for long, and that the USA will not want to get involved directly.
Russia would prefer to have a referendum in Eastern Ukraine (only) on whether that region should reintegrate with Russia. Such a referendum would result in a —genuinely— 95%+ vote in favour. Somewhat similar to what happened in Crimea.
The Kiev government would never accept such a referendum. It stands by its view on “territorial integrity”, but that integrity rests on a mere 29-30 years of “independence”, out of about 1,100 years. In Soviet times the Ukraine-Russia border was really just lines on a map, almost meaningless.
So there we have it. The tendentious Defence Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, Con Coughlin (very pro-Israel etc)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Con_Coughlin] scribbles that “this is only the start, if we appease Putin now“. So…what does Coughlin want Britain to do? Fire our —few— nuclear missiles on Russia?
Not very clever as a strategy, when dozens (at least) of Russian missiles would then devastate the small UK (which is only a 72nd of the area of Russia). Fight for Ukraine in Ukraine? Again, unintelligent, when the Russian armies massed near Ukraine are already twice the size of the whole British Army.
Anyway, why? Why should British soldiers fight for the Kiev regime? It is a corrupt —and very Israeli-dominated— cabal, which has little legitimacy.
If the UK helps Russia, we can open new trading links, get cheap natural gas, and forget about trying to be a poundland world policeman; that was finished half a century ago at least.
My argument regarding Russia's behavior: 1) Moscow switched from deterrence to compellence 2) The key issue is Moscow believes Kyiv will remain hostile and is increasing its defensive capabilities 3) the costs of inaction are greater than an escalationhttps://t.co/fkHT6VCJXF

As blogged previously, the next big step, either right away or over a number of years, will be the microchipping of the population. Complete centralized control over the individual.
The media hops from one fake narrative to another. We had nearly 20 years of terrorism hysteria. Brexit was several years of hype and was an obvious story about nothing. C19 is going into its third year and now they’re awkwardly ramping it down.
…and civil rights are fast-disappearing anyway under the multi-headed assault of “wokery”, the Jew-Zionist lobby, and such as the excrescences of the “Covid” madness.
I could design something far better than both, easily, and I am not even an architect.
I think this tweet by illustrates my point pretty clearly. If you’re raised to fear and hate white people and see yourself, in spite of your privilege, as a likely victim just because white people exist then this is clearly going to shape your prejudices later in life. pic.twitter.com/nSDkQUqHmz
The statement shown [update, next day: removed…], a statement of how a young Jew was indoctrinated at a young age by his mother into having a pathological fear of “anti-Semitism”, could have been used as an example of a typical such upbringing by the defence in the last Alison Chabloz trial…
Looking at those statements, it is clear why virtually all the Soviet spies in the USA in the 1930s and 1940s were Jews. Look at the atom bomb spies. Pretty much every one was a Jew (there were a few exceptions, such as Melita Norwood, and a few others were only half or part-Jew, e.g. Klaus Fuchs): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spies#Notable_spies.
Well worth reading. Which is why I am reposting long extracts here:
“A rising tide of money and administrative power defines the rising autocracy.
As executive compensation reached the stratosphere in Big Tech and finance, small businesses face what the Harvard Business Review calls ‘an existential threat.’ Experts now warn that one third of small businesses, which comprise the majority of US companies and employ nearly half of all workers, could ultimately shut down for good. Hundreds of thousands have already disappeared, including nearly half of all black-owned businesses. Particularly damaged have been the small merchants along Main Street and those working for them, such as restaurant and hospitality workers.
Climate-change policies could nurture the new autocracy for a generation. As tech oligarchs and the financial establishment implement the Davos notion of a Great Reset, they will force a quick end to fossil fuels. There are huge opportunities for massive investment by super-rich companies and speculators in the ‘green economy,’ all made possible with tax breaks, loans and guaranteed sales to governmental units.
This promises to create a new crop of mega-billionaires like Elon Musk, today the world’s richest man. In the era of super-subsidies, a wannabe electric-vehicle maker like Rivian, which has negligible sales and consistent losses, can be valued higher than General Motors, which sells almost seven million cars and has $122 billion (£90 billion) in revenues each year. In Green Capitalism, the British Marxist James Heartfield labels this ‘austerity socialism’: reaping governmental edicts as opposed to actually producing real goods. Nice work if you can get it.
For the middle and working classes, however, the Great Reset may prove somewhat less promising — if not disastrous. For most people, notes Eric Heymann, a senior economist at Deutsche Bank Research, the rapid ‘green’ transition will mean ‘a noticeable loss of welfare and jobs.’ The conscious policy of degrowth as a means of forcibly reducing greenhouse gas emissions will require getting most people out of their cars, and forcing them to travel far less and to live in tiny apartments. Enforcement will be necessarily intrusive as well. Planners in the UK and elsewhere are pushing for family ‘carbon budgets.’ Add surveillance technology and we end up with something akin to China’s ‘social credit’ system, in which your right to free movement is subject to government approval.
The young are particularly threatened by these changes — younger people already face much harder prospects than any postwar generation. Few expect things to improve: across the higher-income countries, roughly two-thirds of people surveyed by Pew Research see a poorer future for the next generation. According to researchers at the Equality of Opportunity Project, about 90 per cent of those born in 1940 grew up to earn higher incomes than their parents. The same is true for only 50 per cent of those born in the 1980s. A recent study by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis warns that millennials are in danger of becoming a ‘lost generation’ in terms of wealth accumulation. To make matters worse, over half of all young people, in a survey of ten countries, think the world is doomed by climate change.
As housing and other costs skyrocket, class lines are hardening. Inheritance as a share of GDP in France has grown roughly threefold since 1950, with some upper-income French millennials inheriting more money than many workers make in a lifetime. The growing importance of inherited assets is even more pronounced in Germany, Britain and the United States. In the US, a country with a national mythology that looks askance at inherited wealth, the children of property-owning parents are far better situated to own a house eventually (often with parental help) and enter what is now known as ‘the funnel of privilege.’ In America, millennials are three times as likely as boomers to count on inheritance for their retirement. Among the youngest cohort, aged eighteen to twenty-two, over 60 per cent expect that inheritance will be their primary source of income as they age.
How will the downwardly mobile react to the prospect of permanent rental serfdom and, ultimately, total dependence on the state? A recent Edelman survey reveals that increasing numbers no longer trust institutions or believe hard work pays off. In a world dominated by a few institutions, today’s precariat of gig and short-contract workers, and those who have dropped out of the workforce entirely, could become an economically less useful version of Marx’s proletariat: a permanent underclass requiring aggressive, quasi-military policing.
Meanwhile, large tech firms and financial giants — even those sceptical about climate change zealotry — see the prospect of record profits and valuations in ‘disruption.’ The pandemic accelerated the white-collar shift to remote work, and the broader demand for automated solutions skyrocketed. A future less reliant on human labor elevates the tech oligarchs to the highest perch on what Lenin called ‘the commanding heights’ of the economy.
In a digitalised economy, it’s good to control the critical niches. The oligarchs do this brilliantly. They have seized dominant shares of key markets from search (Google) to social media (Facebook) to book sales (Amazon). Google and Apple together provide over 95 per cent ofoperating software for mobile devices, while Microsoft still accounts for over 80 per cent of the software that runs personal computers around the world.
We are increasingly ruled by a perfect marriage of class convenience, with more power for the clerisy and ever-greater economic opportunities for the oligarchy — all with the added benefit of encouraging them to feel good about themselves. Even as they push austerity on the masses, they live like medieval lords, indulging in lavish weddings and building estates reminiscent of the Habsburgs’. Jeff Bezos just spent $100 million (£80 million) on a Hawaiian retreat. Bill Gates’s daughter just enjoyed a $2 million (£1.5 million) wedding. John Kerry, president Biden’s chief climate scold and beneficiary of an heiress’s fortune, travels on a private jet that use thirty times the energy of the average American vehicle.
The tech oligarchs are creating something similar to what Aldous Huxley called in Brave New World Revisited a ‘scientific caste system.’ There is ‘no good reason,’ Huxley wrote in 1958, that ‘a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.’ It will condition its subjects from the womb so that they ‘grow up to love their servitude’ and ‘never dream of revolution.’ It will maintain a strict social order and provide enough diversion through drugs, sex and videos to keep their artificially narrowed minds occupied and sated.“
[Joel Kotkin, in The Spectator]
Sobering analysis.
Still, it may be that the “perfect system” the Western ruling circles and cabals strive towards will be smashed, either by natural events or by war. Not a nice prospect but something of the sort may be, also, the only way for Western society to escape from socio-political sclerosis.

The “Left”/”Right” terminology is useless. Let’s be specific: much of the censorship and “cancelling” comes from the Jew-Zionist element; the rest from the “woke”, multikulti, fake “diversity” side, but in fact much of that has been fostered by Jews as well, at least in its origins. Those two “sides” may clash on some issues (mostly Israel/Palestine) but are both drivers of intellectual repression.
Outside academia too. I have been attacked without pause by the Jew-Zionist element, and for many years, not least since this blog started just over five years ago.
Local journalism at its finest: Christian Wakeford @Christian4BuryS defects to Labour in a crushing blow to Boris Johnson as a growing chorus of Conservative MPs call on the Prime Minister to resign.
BREAKING: Christian Wakeford, Tory MP for Bury South, has defected to Labour.
Wakeford tells Boris Johnson that he and the "Conservative Party as a whole have shown themselves incapable of offering the leadership & Govt this country deserves".
Regular readers of the blog will know that I was recently blogging about all of this (in general, not this latest news), concluding that the Conservative Party probably can recover its position if it bins Johnson fairly soon. Initially, I thought that idiot would go before summer this year, but corrected myself to say spring 2022. Now? Seems that it could be any moment.
There is no constitutional imperative for a General Election to be held before late 2024 and, at the end of the day, Labour is offering nothing to the British people either, so once The Idiot is binned, the Cons may be able to recover at least to near-parity with Lab.
I saw an interesting analysis, to the effect that, even if there were a general election right now, Labour might still have a majority of a handful of seats, or even no majority.
In the end, though, both Lab and Con are two faces of the (((System))), and are under the same concealed flag.

Was reading the above article on the Royal Family and UK monarchy by scribbler A.N. Wilson.
Long ago now, I reviewed a book by A.N. Wilson on Amazon UK, where I was about 40th most popular reviewer (out of millions). Later, around 2012, the Jew-Zionist lobby had me barred from reviewing on Amazon UK (and on the separate American site…so much for “free speech” in the occupied USA…). All my reviews were then hidden from the public, and remain so.
One of the reviews effectively lost was the one about a book on British history in the 20th century, by A.N. Wilson. My view had been that his book was a really good read, but at the same time riddled with historical inaccuracies, absurd conclusions, and simple spelling mistakes. This article is similar in some respects.
Look at this:
“…we should not take the durability of the institution for granted.
At the end of World War I, when Russia, Germany, Austria and many other European nations were replacing their monarchs with forms of government in every way more tyrannical and bloody, George V, our king, once quietly remarked: ‘I’m going to have to work hard to keep my job.’
He and his wife, Queen Mary, did indeed work to develop the concept of constitutional monarchy.
Far from endangering parliamentary democracy, it strengthened it. Witha monarch as head of state, there is continuity and stability — it is no accident we remained a democracy when countries without kings or emperors ended up with leaders such as Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and Franco.”
Well, let’s see. “At the end of WW1...” etc: In 1917, the rule of Nikolai II in Russia was replaced by that of the Provisional Government under Prince Lvov and Alexander Kerensky. It was not “tyrannical” or “bloody“, but was chaotic and unable to rule. Indeed, one could argue that the previous years of Nikolai’s rule, at least since the 1905 uprising, had been at times both tyrannical and bloody, especially if the Russian participation in WW1 is placed on the scales.
True, the Bolshevik government, which replaced the Provisional government later in 1917, was certainly bloody and, in the lay sense, tyrannical, and that was so even under Lenin, certainly later yet under Stalin.
Germany after WW1 was not a tyranny. The Weimar Republic was decadent, badly-run, verged on disorder at times, and was quite illiberal towards those who, like Hitler, were German nationalists, but it cannot really be called either tyrannical or bloody. Neither was the government of Hitler, in its 6 years of relative peace (1933-1939). It was dictatorial; it was not tyrannical. There is a difference. As for “bloody”, not so, overall.
Austria did become a kind of dictatorship, but only after 1933, under Dollfuss and, subsequently, Schuschnigg, but for the preceding 14 years had been a constitutional democracy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Austrian_Republic.
What about Wilson’s contention that ” He [George V of England] and his wife, Queen Mary, did indeed work to develop the concept of constitutional monarchy.” True up to a point. Wilson’s phrasing is awkward. The “concept of constitutional monarchy” had been developing in England and the UK for centuries, certainly since the English Civil War and the century following (17th/18th centuries).
Moreover, the same process was happening across Europe; certainly that was so in the 19th Century. It was not confined to the UK by any means.
As for Italy, Mussolini was dictatorial, though not officially a dictator (though he presented himself as such). Some who were (thankfully) repressed under his rule (notably the Mafia and other criminals, and Stalinist Communists) would say (wrongly) that he was a tyrant, but Italy remained a constitutional monarchy right the way through Mussolini’s rule, a fact that Wilson either does not know or fails to mention.
“An Allied invasion of Sicily began in July 1943, leading to the collapse of the Fascist regime and the fall of Mussolini on 25 July. Mussolini was deposed and arrested by order of King Victor Emmanuel III in co-operation with the majority of the members of the Grand Council of Fascism, which passed a motion of no confidence. On 8 September, Italy signed the Armistice of Cassibile, ending its war with the Allies.” [Wikipedia].
In fact, Italy only ceased to be a monarchy in 1946, following a mass referendum.
So Wilson seems once again to need either a history lesson or a lesson in how to express himself. Having said that, I certainly agree with most of his criticism, in the article, of Harry (“the Royal Cuck”), Meghan Markle (“the Royal Mulatta”), Andrew Windsor, and others, such as the horrible and entitled (mostly in both senses) moneygrubbing “younger members of the Royal Family”.
I believe that A.N. Wilson was once a regular guest of the Queen at table, at Windsor Castle, but was (sometime in the 1980s, or maybe a little later) cold-shouldered after he wrote a piece in the Evening Standard about what he had heard at dinner.
I stick with my view, held for nearly two years now, that much of the Covid madness has been a very-large-scale psychological experiment in mass conditioning, designed to result, down the line, in an almost robotic and very Pavlovian response to the orders of the System.
Remember the early/mid 2020 “social distancing”, with lines of shoppers obediently x-metres or feet away from each other, only moving forward on the orders of deadhead supermarket “marshals”? Then there has been the facemask nonsense, as noted in the tweet. Also, the almost-useless and often dangerous “vaccines” and “boosters”, and the equally-useless mass “testing” for “the virus”.
Somewhere not far down the line, there will be the microchipping of the population . Those refusing to be microchipped will be, pretty much, social outcasts, unable to travel internationally or even within the UK (or wherever), all but unable to access services, all but unable to buy food or car fuel (as cash is phased out). Already, I read, many under-24 people are accustomed to using cards for almost all purchases, and use cash as little as once or twice per month. They will be easily persuaded to be microchipped. The microchipping will come in “not with a bang but a whimper”, and few will see the dangers and implications; even fewer will resist.

It may be, that not very far in the future, the societies of Western and Central Europe will fall into complete decadence, their economies ruined, their legal and political systems ineffective and scarcely operational. A kind of Dark Age may be coming. If so, what really matters is to be prepared to seed a new pan-European civilization and culture, which can eliminate evil and disorder, so that a better future, and far future, will be able to exist.
I posted the above film clip out of amusement, really. I (quite genuinely) wonder why idiots like that speaker, and her tiny and lumpenproletarian audience, waste time on demonstrations like that. Still, there it is.
A long time ago, in the 1980s, I was —very unusually— coming out of the Circle Line station at King’s Cross. It was a a summer afternoon. There was, just before the stairs leading to the street, a bank of public telephones. I happened to notice that there was a small black diary or notebook on the floor. I picked it up and looked at it, thinking that I might post it back to the owner, or hand it in to the police.
Said diary turned out to belong to someone at an address nearby, so I walked there. Why not? I was in no hurry, and I like to help people if I can.
I soon arrived at the flat where the diary’s owner lived, 1930s social housing. I (dressed in a pinstripe suit, and sporting a silk tie) knocked at the door. A strange, rather red-faced and intense young woman opened the door, but only about 6 inches. I explained that I had found the diary and where. She looked very suspicious; taking the diary, she shut the door without a word of thanks! I suppose that when the (1980s version) of the “woke” revolution (was going to come), courtesy, or indeed simple politeness, and gratitude, would be unnecessary…
Perhaps the odd young woman thought that I was a member of MI5 or Special Branch who had stolen her diary to get intelligence, and/or was wanting to get to know her or even recruit her. Or did she imagine that I wanted to rape her (or whatever)? God knows. Stupid creature. As often said, “no good deed goes unpunished”…
Did the young woman use the public telephones to avoid any telephone tap on her own telephone? Or did she simply not have a telephone in the flat? Mobile telephones were effectively unknown then, of course.
I wonder where said young woman is now? Probably a member of the Labour Party (Corbyn faction), and/or a local Labour councillor, now aged 60+ and with decades of silly militancy behind her. Or did she fall by the wayside en route to the post-Marxist promised land, marry some accountant or solicitor, and acquire a suburban house, and a holiday home in some place unaffected by the collapse of white England? Who knows?
I believe in public service broadcasting, but the BBC has not been that, in any serious way, for years, for many years.
I believe in the original dictum of Lord Reith: “inform, educate, and entertain” in that order of priority.
The major strategic mistake the BBC made, at least 50 years ago, was to compete with ITV (and commercial radio) for “ratings”, i.e. cheap popularity. The whole point of having the licence fee (meaning a tax on owning a TV) was, or should have been, to create a TV and radio service which concentrated on relatively “high-minded” stuff. Instead of that, the BBC established Radio 1 and, on TV, dumbed down, first of all, BBC1 TV and then BBC2 TV.
The dumbing-down continued, particularly from the 1980s. In the 1990s and thereafter, the BBC television output gradually declined in quality, and the new efforts were generally poor. BBC Three television was markedly rubbish (it was eventually put online-only), though one bright spot was the new BBC Four, which is now (now that BBC 2 TV is so poor) the only decent BBC TV station, the only one with any intellectual pretension.
As for radio, the World Service was reduced from something really worthwhile in the 1970s and 1980s to very poor in terms of quality through the 1990s, and by 2010 to rock-bottom.
The process continues. On radio, it is noticeable that the dumbing-down continues; Radio 3 output is sometimes close to some of that on Radio 2 these days.
I therefore welcome the announcement that the BBC licence fee (tax) is going to be abolished. I welcome it on principle, and also because, these days, something like the BBC, a huge and bloated corporation run by and staffed by, largely, an in-group, almost all thinking the same way (and mostly the wrong way), is totally anachronistic.
Turn on your TV. How many channels are there? 100? More. Yes, mostly rubbish, but many not, or not completely. Do the few BBC ones really offer anything different from the rest? I say no. Ads? The BBC may not have paid advertising, but it advertises its own shows all the time, which is equally irritating.
Now we have the Internet as well. There is just no justification for subsidizing what the BBC, most of the time, now does.
At one time, almost every country in the world, even the tiniest, had its own “national airline” or “flagcarrier”. That was basically an outcome of international conditions that, by the 1980s, had already been superseded by new norms that better reflected reality. The BBC, as it now is, has no place of significance in the world, and no right to be subsidized by a punitive tax.
I also look forward, of course, to the overpaid BBC drones and “celebrities” having their rice-bowls taken away, but that is a secondary, though pleasant, thought.
More late tweets
I hate to break this to you but the SARS-coV-2 virus has never been isolated anywhere in the world and the reason is it’s computer generated as are the variants. Let that sink in
Readers of my blog will be unaware that, nearly 6 months ago, an individual closely-connected to the fake “charity” known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] made a malicious and unwarranted complaint to the police about me.
I shall not mention today the name of the guilty individual, nor those of his half-dozen or so most-guilty accomplices.
In the heat of summer, on my birthday at that, two local uniformed police arrived at my door, and informed me that ********** (a serial complainer to police, as I knew but they, probably, did not) had accused me of “racial harassment”.
After a brief discussion —slightly heated, certainly exasperated, on my side— the police agreed to email me with details of when I might, on a date of my choosing, be willing to attend the local police station.
I arranged for a London solicitor known to me to be in attendance remotely, via telephone, but on the agreed day of the interview (about a week later) there was a communications problem, so the interview was rescheduled.
Three weeks or so after the police had arrived (entirely unnecessarily) at my door, I attended the (so-called) “voluntary” interview at the new and bijou local police station, set in a quiet location away from the nearest road. A hot and sunny Saturday, and early evening.
So quiet, in terms of crime, is the local town, that the new police station is rather hidden away, and one has to press a button to ask to be let in.
The young policeman (well, when you are 65, as I now am, they all look young!) who had come to my door, and a female colleague, interviewed me on both audio and video tape (pursuant to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act [PACE] 1984,
I had prepared (and already emailed) a quite long statement about the situation as I saw it, i.e. the 9 years of attempts by dishonest and malicious Jew-Zionists to have me, inter alia, expelled from Twitter, disbarred, questioned by police, arrested, prosecuted, tried, convicted, and imprisoned.
The Jew-Zionists also managed to have me expelled from Twitter (in 2018, via a concerted conspiratorial campaign which took them about 6 years).
The said pack, or connected packs, have also had me questioned a few times now by the police (twice under caution), but I have never been arrested, never been charged or summonsed, never been prosecuted, never been tried, never been convicted, and never been imprisoned.
As we know, “they” can be relentless in their vindictive pursuit, as written about by none other than William Shakespeare, and the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” crowed mightily, after satirical singer Alison Chabloz was imprisoned, that it had taken the “CAA” 5 years “to get her“.
That evil pack will no doubt make further attempts to use “lawfare” (as they call it) to attack British people such as me, people standing up for Britain and for European civilization. They will continue to fail, most of the time.
Reverting to that police interview, though, it started off with some rather odd questions. I was asked when I last had had a drink! This was not their way of offering me a cold beer on a very hot day, but I have no idea whether that is now a standard police question in the era of the nanny-state, or whether I looked intoxicated!
I thought about it for a second, before answering that I had had a glass of cognac— about a week previously. That answer made both of them laugh, as I explained that I do not drink a great deal these days.
Another odd question was as to whether I had ever been in the Army, by which I assumed they meant the British Army (rather than the Salvation Army, Church Army, Barmy Army, or the Foreign Legion etc) . I replied, truthfully, that I had never held any commission, nor any enlisted rank, in the Army, though I had spent the odd day, and the odd weekend, as a kind of visitor, on British Army bases (in the 1970s and late 1980s).
I have to admit that the police were polite, even pleasant, and of course they were “only following orders” by asking about that absurd accusation of harassment.
After a few more questions (mostly as to whether I had any medical conditions), we started the interview proper. I read into the record my two-page statement. My throat was dry after the first page. The woman police person (are they still called “WPCs”?—maybe not) very kindly offered me a mug of water, and brought it.
A few questions followed, mostly answered with “no comment”, and that was that. I was informed that I would not be placed under arrest, or charged there and then, but that the statement would be sent to other (unspecified) persons —I assumed to another part of the country, and/or the Crown Prosecution Service [CPS]— who would decide whether the matter would be taken further.
I parted from the police on an amicable basis, and briefly considered pocketing the now-empty “Prevent” mug as a souvenir and trophy, but thought better of it.
That, however, was not the end of the affair.
Some of my readers, perhaps especially any legal people, may ask why I made a statement at all, rather than just no-commenting. That is usually good advice (and is what the London solicitor had advised), but I decided to detail a number of matters going beyond the fact that there was no actual evidence of “racial” (or any other form of) harassment by me in relation to ********* (the guilty party…) and his pack. If you like, I decided to let rip and give the pack of bastards both barrels (metaphorically).
True, in the absence of any evidence that there had been any “harassment” in the first place, I could have, perhaps should have, in effect said, simply, “prove it“, but my decision was both tactical and also me wanting to put the record straight about those criminal CAA bastards.
Weeks passed. Months passed. Nothing happened, and I began to assume that the matter had been dropped but without formal notification, as had happened on a previous occasion, in 2017, when the same bastards, typically, had thought to kick me when I was down (soon after my wrongful and unlawful disbarment), and via another malicious complaint, that time under the notorious “bad law” known as Communications Act 2003, s.127.
That complaint had been to tame (((occupied))) police at Grays, Essex. (my blog post about that 2017 complaint against me can be found via the search box on this blog).
Well, just when I thought that it was safe to go back in the water, the local police sent me a letter. So creaking is Britain’s infrastructure now that it took 11 days to reach me (in the same area, only about 2 miles away, at that)! The decision had (it seemed, though nothing was written directly) still not been made to drop what was a ridiculous “case” that should never have been taken seriously by the police (in another part of the country, I believe) in the first place.
That was it. Forget both barrels. Think nuclear strike. I dropped a —metaphorical— strategic nuclear bomb. Within 24 hours, I had received email notification that the CPS had decided that no further action would be taken against me on the complaint by ********** and that I would receive no further contact about it.
In other words, ********** can slither away again now. I would suggest that he gets better legal advice next time.
[Update, 20 August 2023: Further to the above, I can now say that, though I was not arrested, still less convicted of anything by reason of the malicious complaints of the “CAA” cabal, I have now been summonsed. A postal summons arrived through the letterbox at my home address in March 2023, alleging breach of the “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127, i.e. it is alleged that five (5) posts on this blog (from 2020 to 2022) were “grossly offensive“.
I appeared in Court on a date in May 2023, pleading Not Guilty to all five counts. A further brief hearing took place in June 2023. Trial is now set down for 1.5 days in late November 2023. I shall represent myself despite being eligible for a solicitor and Counsel via Legal Aid.
I have every expectation of acquittal on those charges. In fact, the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (which the Law Commission has recommended should be repealed) is soon going to be superseded anyway by the Online Safety Bill presently before Parliament. I may be the last person charged under Communications Act 2003, s.127.
I shall not be blogging further in detail about the case until after the trial. I can say, though, that whatever happens at trial, this blog will continue to be published as if nothing at all had happened.]
So there it is. After about 20 months of nonsense, I was convicted under the bad law Communications Act 2003, s.127, and sentenced to a “community order”, i.e. probation, of 9 months’ duration, to include 15 “rehabilitation days”, and to pay £734.
Well, a third of the financial penalty was crowdfunded, and the “rehabilitation days” were before too long waived after I had done a few (and also a few meetings that, for opaque reasons, did not count as “rehabilitation” days), though each “day” turned out to be far less than a day, indeed far less than half a day: almost all were less than 1 hour, and a couple only lasted 20 minutes. Mostly chats, but with a bit of armchair psychology thrown in. Actually, I rather liked my probation officer, a very polite and pleasant young woman.
Once again, I managed to trump political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 7/10, but I trumped that with 9/10. I did not know the answer to question 5. I felt that the questions were a shade easier than usual this week.
