ATTACK ON THE SLAVYANSK-KRAMATORSK AGGLOMERATION HAS ALREADY BEGUN – A RUSSIAN INVASION OF THE CHERNIGOV REGION IS ALSO POSSIBLE. Valery Gerasimov
A group of Russian units, “South,” has breached the first Ukrainian defensive line in several places near Slaviansk, Kramatorsk, and Druzhkovka. Around these three western Donbas cities, the Ukrainians have built an entire system of interconnected “deep fortifications.”
Valery GERASIMOV: Troops of the “South” group, advancing along a wide front of approximately 160 kilometers in several directions simultaneously, are now successfully destroying enemy forces east of Kramatorsk. Our forward assault groups are already fighting at the local airport, which is only three kilometers from the city limits.

In the Ukraine, this has been dubbed "beadification" – when people are taken directly from the streets: near shops, at bus stops, on their way home or to work.
[“The wealthy buy their way out. The poor are sent to the grinder of war.
In the Ukraine, this has been dubbed “beadification” – when people are taken directly from the streets: near shops, at bus stops, on their way home or to work.
Some end up within this system of forced mobilization because they lack money, connections, and the ability to find alternative options. Others, with resources, find ways to obtain deferments, obtain documents, or avoid participating in combat.
Within Ukrainian society, there are accusations that money can solve problems that, for ordinary people, become a matter of life and death. Amounts ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars are mentioned for various ways to avoid being sent to the front lines.
And this is the main conflict of any protracted war: decisions are made at the top, while people at the bottom bear the most severe consequences.
Some determine the strategy, while others receive summons. Some talk about grand goals, while others find themselves on the front lines.
When the rules become different for those who have money and those who don’t, the word “Ukrainian solidarity” begins to sound increasingly contradictory.
Because any war, first and foremost, tests not only the army but also the fairness of society – are all willing to pay the same price for the decisions that are made?
So, the question to the Ukrainian people themselves: be honest – do you truly believe that the corrupt system is fair, in which some make decisions about the war, others find ways to avoid its consequences, and a third group ends up in the meat grinder for the benefit of Western interests?“]

Most, if not all, of those involved in this continuing violence are known to the police. They should be either removed from society or eliminated.

More accurate to say, re. that first vlog post, though, that Correlli Barnett said that, after 1945, Britain could have done one or two of three possible policy choices, but not all three:
Regenerate British industry;
Maintain Britain as a world power;
Establish or increase the scope of the Welfare State.
Britain post-1945 tried to do all three, thus could not properly or fully do any.
The vlogger there, though, persists in saying that Britain “won the war“. Very doubtful in the details: without Soviet power, aided and abetted by vast American power, Britain could not have contemplated even continuing to prosecute the war after 1940, let alone the invasion of mainland Europe as happened in 1943 (Sicily/Italy) and 1944 (Normandy).
It is, however, obviously very true that National Socialist Germany, the Third Reich, lost the war.

The anti-Russia policies of the “British” governments, since 2014, in fact —not just 2022— have been mad, and run entirely contra the interests of the British people.

Leaving aside U.S. power, any contest between the UK and Russia can only end one way: Russia has maybe 7,000 nuclear weapons, Britain has about 150.

2016. Well, Watts was sacked by online news outlet Exaro in 2016.
I am not necessarily saying that the two are causally connected, in that Watts’ unfair dismissal case against Exaro was a few months prior to my wrongful and unlawful disbarment (the Bar Standards Board later admitted by letter to me that the disbarment had been unlawful, and offered me the chance to have the matter reheard but I, politely, told them to stuff it.
Having said that, Watts was hoping for money by way of compensation but though, in early 2017, he was awarded about £60,000, he was unable to collect because Exaro had become insolvent. He did get something via the state fund for unfair dismissal, but that would have been a maximum of c.£22,000, and he may not even have collected that much.
Watts is now completely washed-up as a (former) journalist/scribbler/snooper. He has done little or no work for a decade.
Looking back over the past decade or so, I have noticed that many who tweeted against me have died, have had unexpected losses and/or injuries, have become insane and/or have stopped or almost stopped tweeting (about anything).

In recent weeks, cooperation between Iran and Russia has significantly increased, according to Channel 14 of Israel. The key area is the Caspian route between the Iranian port of Amirabad and the Russian port of Olya.
According to sources, Iran is supplying Russia with military equipment and spare parts, including components for drones. In return, it is receiving goods, financial resources, and intelligence data, including information on American targets.
This strengthens Iran’s resilience to US sanctions and raises questions about possible coordination between Russia and other countries in countering American pressure.”]
Interesting, as with their other travel vlog posts, though —as before— there is a degree of naivety (re. Stalin, Lenin, Third Reich, though in different ways).
In fact, the husband of the vlogging couple, “Matt”, describes the idea of Lenin being Jewish as something put out by “conspiracy theorists“. No, it is not a conspiracy theory but (partly-) true. Lenin was a part-Jew. His mother’s name was Blank, but she too was not full-Jew, just part (and possibly “crypto”).
Turns out that Birobidzhan, the Jewish “autonomous” area set up by Stalin in the Soviet Far East, now has relatively few Jews, the rest having decamped to Israel since the 1980s.
Birobidzhan is actually just the city, not the name of the oblast, but is the name customarily used for both.
The oblast is only small by comparison with the whole of Siberia, or the whole of Russia: 14,000 square miles, so nearly twice the size of Wales (8,000 sq. miles) or New Jersey (8,700 sq. miles).
According to Wikipedia, as of 2021 the oblast had about 150,000 inhabitants, of which half lived in the city, and only 837 of which were Jews.
Actually, Birobidzhan, the main town or city, though rather rundown, is not terrible, and resembles most other Soviet or ex-Soviet urban areas.

To end this, all the UK has to do is stop attacking Russia via its Ukrainian proxies. We’re literally instigating a war against a country while claiming it’s the aggressor. We’re also claiming to care about Ukrainians while using them as cannon fodder for NATO. Do you really…
The UK is doing more than selling armaments to the Kiev regime. It is encouraging the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime to target, ever more deeply, Russian territory, attacking Russian cities, installations, and civilians.
Giving arms and money to the Zelensky regime is, in context, close to an act of war, as is giving that regime blueprints to make long-range ballistic missiles in the full knowledge (and actually expressed) that those missiles will be, and should be, used against Russia.
What the UK governments, since 2014, and especially 2022, have been doing in relation to the conflict (one-sided support for the Kiev regime) is mad, and counter to all British interests.
In fact, this is an international and multinational NWO/ZOG (New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government) operation, targeting Russia and its future.
What Burnham and virtually the whole political/msm class in Britain are doing is crazy from one point of view (the point of view of what is best for Britain and its people), but deliberate and co-ordinated from another.

In Ukraine, Zelensky's Chief of Staff and other presidential aides stole £2.5 million of public money to post bail for Zelensky's Energy Minister awaiting trial for corruption.
The disconnect between the picture of Kiev-regime Ukraine painted by the UK’s lying mass media (a besieged and brave democracy with human rights, fighting an evil monster ruling an evil tyranny) and the reality (a corrupt, shambolic, brutal dictatorship where elections are never held, where men are kidnapped off the street and brutalized before being sent to die on the crumbling front-lines of an unwinnable war, and where opponents of the regime are locked-up or shot) is staggering.
The problem the Labour Friends of Israel government faces with juries is that at this point in the Genocide, in any random gathering of 12 sane citizens, at least 3 will think that destroying Israeli weapons factories is necessary.
I can see that the judges are now getting very restrictive about what defendants-in-person and even barristers are “allowed” (by the trial judge) to say in putting the defence case at such trials; “political trials” if you like, or semi-political. The recent Greenstein case, involving alleged vocal support for HAMAS, was one such: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwym4gg7vr1o.
The Greenstein case is interesting also because not only was the defendant, though anti-Israel, a Jew, but so was the presiding judge at trial (H.H.J. Sarah Plaschkes).
A Jewish judge presiding over a trial the subject matter of which was, or involved, Israel, Gaza, HAMAS etc. Was that “justice not only done but also seen to be done“? In the event, the question falls, Greenstein having been acquitted.

It is true that there is a slide into lawlessness. I just had a look at the local newspaper here (coastal Hampshire/Dorset). A nursing employee who stole the bank card of a care home resident and used it— “avoided jail“; ex-“firefighter” who (online) intimidated a woman whom his son had raped, who also then assaulted paramedics etc and issued threats to kill the same woman, later excusing himself by reason of having been drunk— “suspended sentence“; etc etc.
Incidentally, it interests me that it (seems that it) was only after two policemen were killed that the local police got really active and started to arrest members of the local “chavscum” crime groups.
Yet absurd and pointless “cases”, especially at the behest of the Jewish/Israel lobby, are still going to court occasionally, as seen below:

[“The Jews are horrendous.”
A former @LibDems Councillor has been found to have “posted antisemitic tweets which were likely to stir up racial hatred.”
Pat Marsh, who was arrested in February 2024 after the posts were reported to police, served as a North Yorkshire Councillor and Mayor of Harrogate.
There were a number of antisemitic tweets, including: • “It is shameful the world is silent and the Jews are horrendous.” • “I hope the Jews feel proud of this!!!!! They are evil.” • “The Jews are vile showing they have no care other than for themselves.”
A prosecutor in the case said the posts were “greater than bigotry in the extreme”. Anti-Jewish hatred can have no place in British politics. When antisemitism presents itself, those responsible must be held accountable.”]
I wonder who reported those tweets to the police. Was it the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”? I expect so. They constantly “report” (often invented) matters to police, professional regulators etc.
What the liars and perjurers of the “CAA” do not say in their tweet is that the defendant there is a lady of 78, with no previous convictions; they also omit the facts that, since February 2024 when she was arrested, the defendant developed dementia, as a result of which she was found unfit to stand trial.
The prosecutor (I presume from the Clown Prosecution Service, though it may have been one of the CAA’s abusive private prosecutions), however continued with “a trial of the facts” (I presume in the absence of the defendant), and a jury (half-witted, it seems), brought in a meaningless verdict of Guilty, after which the judge handed down an equally meaningless sentence— an absolute discharge!
Worthy of Alice in Wonderland. A lady in her late seventies actually arrested for those rather mild tweets (probably about the sadistic slaughter being carried out by Israeli Jews in Gaza), but the trial only taking place 2.5 years later, a trial which was entirely meaningless, and served only to allow the “CAA” —proven liars whose sworn testimony has, on occasion, not been believed— to tweet as seen above.
A jury trial over that petty nonsense! Lewis Carroll or Franz Kafka?
It occurs to me that, had the defendant been found fit to stand trial, and had done so, the jury might have acquitted her, but knowing that nothing would happen to her after the pointless “trial of the facts”, took the easy way out and convicted.

[“The donkey is the animal the language keeps for when it wants to call a person stupid.
In the spring of 1915, on the worst ground of the century, one of them walked into the guns for three and a half weeks and never once refused.
Gallipoli. Anzac Cove, a strip of stony beach under cliffs the Turks held. The wounded came down a gully so worked over by rifle and shell that the men named it Shrapnel Gully and meant it as a plain description.
Up at the head of the valley the fighting fed a constant traffic of broken men who had to be got down to the dressing station on the sand. There were never enough stretchers or bearers, and the track down lay open to the guns the whole length of it.
Onto that beach on the first morning came a stretcher-bearer, a lad from South Shields who had gone out to Australia and enlisted there under half his name, John Simpson.
On the second day, a wounded man on his back, he found one of the donkeys that had been landed to haul water and then left behind. From that morning until the morning he died, the two of them worked the gully.
Simpson is the half of the story that could weigh the odds and decide to go anyway.
The donkey could do no such thing. It could not read the ground or count the guns. It could only be led to the foot of a track every soldier on the peninsula knew was a killing floor, have a man who could not walk loaded onto its back, and be asked to climb.
And it climbed. In daylight, which no sane man did. At night.
Through fire so heavy that John Monash, commanding at the head of the valley, singled the pair out in writing: Simpson and his little beast, he said, had earned the admiration of everyone up there.
Simpson went in front, singing and whistling as though the bullets were weather. The donkey plodded. At the bottom it was unloaded onto the sand, and then it turned itself round and went back up into the fire for the next one.
It made that climb over and over, day after day, up into the guns and down again with a man on its back, on a track where grown soldiers moved bent double and prayed.
The names change in the telling, Duffy and Abdul and Murphy, and the men at the top knew the little procession on sight. How many wounded came down on that back nobody can honestly say, and the round numbers fixed to the story later, three hundred and the rest, are mostly legend.
What is not legend is that it went on, without a day off, under fire, until the nineteenth of May, when Simpson was shot carrying two wounded men and was buried that evening in the sand at a place called Hell Spit. He was twenty-two.
The donkey lived.
Another bearer took it on, and the work carried on without the man who started it.
When the whole ruined campaign was finally given up and the survivors were taken off that beach, they did not leave it behind for the enemy. They got it onto a boat and away to safety.
Somewhere in the moving of it a soldier buckled a collar round its neck. The collar read: Murphy VC. Please look after him.
That is men who had seen everything a war can do to a body, stopping to ask a stranger to be kind to a donkey.
Eighty-two years later, to the very day, on the nineteenth of May 1997, the RSPCA awarded its Purple Cross, the highest honour there is for an animal, to Murphy, and, as the certificate reads, to all the donkeys used by John Simpson Kirkpatrick.
When the country went looking for one image to carry the memory of that whole catastrophe, out of a campaign full of generals it chose a stretcher-bearer and a donkey. It cast the pair in bronze outside the national memorial, and stood them again in his home town on the Tyne.
We keep the beast as our word for stubborn and stupid.
It was handed the dying on the worst ground of the century, and it carried them down out of the fire, and it turned round, and it went back up for more.”]

After cats, donkeys are my favourite animal.
Incidentally, I myself was on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 2001, en route from the UK to southern Turkey by car. It is a completely peaceful peninsula now. My wife and I stayed for a few days at Canakkale, on the other side of the Dardanelles Strait. You had to cross by a small ferry in those days; there is a large bridge now, a few miles away, and the empty dusty roads on the European side, with vast sunflower fields all around, once you leave the peninsula and are in Thrace proper, have been partly supplanted by a motorway or major highway.

Another “Matt and Julia” vlog post. This time they fly from Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) to Novosibirsk, and then to Kemerovo, where Julia was born.
I was interested to see how nice, relatively uncrowded, and how up-to-date, were the airports. Novosibirsk Airport was especially impressive.
As to Kemerovo in snow, slush, and minus-degree temperatures, it looked pretty bleak to me. One thing that surprised me, and that I had noticed on some of their other vlog posts, is how far the couple are prepared to walk, when many (including me) would have preferred to go by car. They set off (not even wearing gloves) from the home of Julia’s relatives to central Kemerovo, striding purposefully through the snow in what looks like a vast snowbound urban landscape. They seem to be walking for miles.
Worth seeing, despite the relatively superficial commentary.

[“Ukraine: the video embarrassing Kiev, filmed by Swedish television itself A few seconds before SVT’s live broadcast from central Kiev, Bengt Norborg’s team’s camera captures a scene to say the least brutal: several men pounce on a Ukrainian and forcibly bundle him into a van. The most embarrassing thing for Kiev? It’s not an anonymous video from Telegram.
It’s Swedish public television that filmed the scene.
It’s their own correspondent who notes that a man has just been arrested to be mobilized.
And SVT itself describes a hunt conducted day and night in Ukrainian streets. (SVT Nyheter) According to SVT, up to two million men are trying to evade mobilization within the country, while recruitment service and police patrols continue to search for them.“]
To be forcibly “recruited” by the goons of the Kiev regime is as good as a death sentence. The regime is losing 1,000-2,000 men per day on its crumbling front lines.
Meanwhile, the recent ballistic missile attacks on Kiev have (as predicted on the blog some time ago) made the point that Russia will not tolerate the daily escalation by the Kiev side in attacks on Russian civilian areas. Russian patience is now wearing very thin, I think.
Neither side should be directly targeting civilians. The Russian side has hit Ukrainian civilians mostly as collateral damage (not that that makes it any the more bearable for the victims) but the Kiev regime is deliberately targeting Russian civilians; their homes, hospitals, warehouses, school buses etc.

For example, according to Dmitry Krymsky, co-owner of the Goodwine chain, Russian strikes have caused approximately $500 million in damage to Ukrainian businesses in just three weeks.
Warehouses, logistics hubs, “Nova Poshta” (a Ukrainian postal service), and now cargo ships in the Black Sea have been targeted.
The ports of Odesa have been particularly affected: after Russia intensified its attacks on shipping, the ports have become “commercially dead,” as The Economist reports.
Another problem is the export of crops. This year, Ukraine needs to sell approximately 50 million tons of grain. If this is not possible, farmers may refuse to plant in the fall, and the potential losses for the industry are estimated at $10-12 billion – about 5% of the country’s GDP.
At the same time, the attacks on logistics are only a prelude to more significant problems: Russia is increasing the production of ballistic missiles, while Ukraine’s air defense capabilities are dwindling.”]

[“In a few weeks, the national populist Alternative for Germany will send shockwaves through Europe by taking power at state elections
It will be a seismic, historic moment for Europe. The ‘firewall’ blocking the AfD will collapse. Europe’s populist wave will reach entirely new heights. EU bureaucrats will likely have a meltdown. There will probably be a renewed push to try and ban the AfD. Why is it happening? The legacy media will once again tell you the AfD are Nazis & extremists. But this is nonsense.
What they won’t tell you is what the political, media, and cultural class has done to Germany. -> Nearly 16 million foreign nationals arrived in the last 10 years alone. -> Some 6.5 million migrants were added to Germany’s population, net, in just a decade. -> The number of people with a migrant background soared from 13 million in 2005 to 21 million today. -> More than one in three 35-year-olds in Germany, 36%, now have a migrant background.
Islamism has also gone mainstream. There were nearly 20 terror attacks over the last decade and at least 10 major attacks thwarted since 2023 alone. ->The total number of Islamist crimes has surged from 134 in 2022 to nearly 1,000 last year -> There are now 28,000 Islamists living in Germany, according to official data/The Times.
Ordinary Germans do not have to live like this. They never asked for demographic change on this scale. And if you ask AfD voters what they think is the top issue facing their country, 82% say immigration.
If you don’t want the AfD winning state elections and leading the NATIONAL polls then end the policy of mass immigration, control the borders, and root out Islamism.”]
I agree in part, but naturally Goodwin does not mention that the migration invasion of Germany (and the rest of Europe, including the UK) has been mainly facilitated by Jewish and Israeli interests and individuals. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.
Goodwin says that the AfD are not “Nazis or extremists“. True, but if they were, so much the better!
Deutschland erwache!
Anyway, the problem is not so much “Islamism”, but the typical social and sexual behaviour of so many of the migrant invaders.
Yet the lady tweeter fully “supports” (though born only in 1967) the disastrous Churchill-led war against the German Reich 1939-1945, and she is now pushing, like so many others in and around the polluted UK political swamp, for war with Russia. I wonder how many “boys” and indeed citizens generally, here in the UK will die if that happens? Millions, probably; tens of millions, quite possibly.
I agree with that lady on Tim Montgomerie. The ridiculous fuck-up has been a negative influence on British politics for years, about 20+ years, yet has never been elected to anything, but has just set up fake think tanks (who, or what cabal, put up the money?) and websites (Conservative Home; again, from where came the money?).
He seems to be well-connected, and is always on TV despite having nothing to offer beyond his personal whining and a little party-political gossip.

Oh, and “toddy” is also wrong in thinking that only the wealthy had education in 1884. In the early Victorian period (1840s), formal education for the poor was only found in isolated places, but from the 1840s poor schools were founded. The Education Act 1870 brought in radical change. By 1891, education for poor children was both available and mandatory, and was free of charge. The Fabian Society, founded in 1884, had little or nothing to do with that.

They just do not want to see the elephant in the room— the continuing migration invasion. I have the memoirs of the Labour MP and junior minister, Chris Mullin, A View from the Foothills. In an entry from 2000, he was told by the civil service, upon enquiring as to the availability of council housing, that as much as 75% of the social housing (perhaps in one area) was being occupied by asylum-seekers. That was 26 years ago!
In a sense, simple arithmetic does the job. Between one million and one and a half million immigrants each year (minus a couple of hundred thousand Brits emigrating to what they hope are still white/European places overseas), minus another modest number of non-Brits leaving, so somewhere between 600,000 and 1,000,000 extra persons in the country, but only 150,000-200,000 dwelling units built (in the past year). Result— a shortfall of at least 400,000 houses and flats each year, and maybe as many as 800,000.

Bayo Alaba – Labour MP for Southend East and Rochford since 2024.

[“Bayo Alaba – Labour MP for Southend East and Rochford since 2024. Bayo is the owner of seven properties which are rented out. He is the fourth biggest landlord in Parliament. His old boss and friend at Redbridge Council Labour MP Jas Athwal tops the list.
Controversy has surrounded Bayo as a landlord. He was reported by @_TheLondoner to have evicted a mother of two and made her homeless. One week later, Bayo tweeted that ‘“Nobody should have to spend the night on the streets.”’
Bayo has accepted the following donations:
£10,000 from the Trevor Chinn funded/Morgan McSweeney run consortium @LabourTogether/ @ThinkLabour
With his £93,904 salary, expenses (£48,070.94 claimed since 2024), donations, the rent from his seven properties (undisclosed), his share dividends in Alaba Properties (the company linked to the COVID-19 ‘bounce-back loan), Onit Events Ltd and StreetFestiveLive Ltd, his allowances and perks, Bayo was doing very nicely indeed at Westminster until his suspension for alleged financial irregularities.”]
In fact, Bayo’s suspension is only a Labour Party one; he is not suspended as MP, so is still getting all the salary, claimed expenses etc.
Note the £10,000 given to the moneygrubbing n*g by Trevor Chinn’s Jewish lobby/Israel lobby set-up. Also, what is that £3,000 from a Marie Curie organization person? Hopefully not from the charity itself.
Import the lower races and peoples, and you also import their ways of life, and their ways of doing things. Simples.
Interesting, though slightly tendentious, vlog
I have seen a few other vlog posts by that couple. Russia. China. Eritrea. North Korea. I believe that they are making quite a good income from this, maybe as much as £100,000 a year.
Interesting views, and not entirely wrong, but (as seen in their other vlog posts) rather naive in some respects. For example, the man there (Matt) has little time for the idea that immigrants in the UK have led to a housing shortage, yet the facts speak for themselves. Literally millions of immigrants have arrived even in the past decade, let alone the past 40 years. That may not be the only cause of the UK housing crisis, but it is a major one, and I would argue the major one.

They try to avoid direct political stances; in this case, the man originated in the UK and so may be more “triggered”, as people now say. I note that his wife/girlfriend (Julia) refers to Spain in the 1960s/1970s as “Fascist Spain”, which is not (entirely) correct. The Falange [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falangism] was only one strand, albeit a leading one, in Franco’s government.
I might add that, in other videos seen, I did not notice the woman make reference to the more negative aspects of Sovietism.
I got the opinion in one or two of their other videos that they are in danger of falling into the trap of some tourists or visitors who go to many many countries for a short while, but perhaps fail to understand much about them. There is a superficiality.
Once, in 1998, when I was in Egypt for three months, I met, at the oasis of Siwa, an American woman, a New Yorker, who was travelling around the world to gather material, mainly photos, for a book. She had been to pretty much every country in Asia, for example, including Burma (Myanmar, if you like), but she had been to each country for only a day or two.
Certainly one can get an impression of a place in a day or two, but superficiality is inevitable unless one at least has the background knowledge to make some sense of the impression. That American woman did not have the background. Her impressions were of the “is this Tuesday? I must be in Egypt” variety.
Incidentally, that American woman stayed at the oasis for about 20 hours; arrived on the once-a-day bus one afternoon, and departed the next day, presumably having taken a few photos to illustrate her book about her world travels.
In a way, I like the attitude of those two vloggers, who try to see the best in people etc, but that can lead to a kind of “touristic” naivety.

Well…I do not agree with Sophie Meaden, firstly because I am not generally a cruel person, and also because I (would) prefer to eliminate enemies of the people cleanly and swiftly. That is more honourable.

Incidentally, I see from a Wikipedia photo that, outside Goldfinger’s own Hampstead house, there is parked a Jaguar.
[1-3 Willow Road, Hampstead, once the home of architect Erno Goldfinger]
A Russian or partly-Russian friend of mine, now deceased, the university lecturer and noted translator of Dostoyevsky, Ig Avsey, always called any Jaguar seen “a Jew-boy’s gondola“, which always made me laugh. God knows where he got that from.
Ig was eccentric, devoted to Dostoyevsky (especially), usually entertaining, as well as being —not infrequently— mildly infuriating. I have blogged once or twice in the past about him:

Even at my free speech trial in late 2023, the rather pitiful outside Counsel instructed by the “Clown” Prosecution Service made mention of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan as a “conspiracy theory”.

I notice that a blog post from 2019, which has had hits frequently ever since, had a number of hits today. Nice that people value one’s otherwise unapplauded and certainly unremunerated efforts…
The volcano of “woke” and pro-multikulti hate that has erupted is because that black con-man who killed himself represented a whole current in the UK at present— the appointment and promotion of blacks (mainly) to roles not on any kind of merit but simply because boxes are ticked. Also, because such appointments are a dot in the eye to everything British and European. As in “let’s appoint a ridiculous, jungle-haired black as a professor at the University of Cambridge…what a defeat for the whites (i.e. the English), trashing their history and culture.”
Well, boo-hoo— he’s gone. One dishonest enemy of this country less.
The “woke” have seen their nonsense blown up…again. That is why they are furious. They are even all, and very stupidly, buying the £21 fake “memoirs” of the said con-man, despite the fact that the “memoirs” are a farrago of proven nonsense; they buy them as some kind of truly crazed virtue-signal.
Another example of the present times: I today, and very unusually, happened to see a few minutes of one of those apparently endless home and garden shows churned out by the BBC and others. Not my usual viewing, and I only saw 5-10 minutes. It was called Garden Rescue, and what interested me is how the BBC had managed to tick almost every box on their usual agenda. The couple shown, who owned the said house and garden in (I think) Liverpool, were an Englishman with a black wife or “partner” and (not shown) half-caste children, while the garden designer and crew (about 6 or 7 of them) consisted of an obvious gay (the designer), complete with tattoos and bleached hair, a couple of black men, a pretty-obviously lesbian woman, another woman, and some middleaged English fellow etc.
Incidentally, it seems, though uncertain, that that “Issyvine” woman creating hit-lists of those who criticized the black con-man Arday, and requesting personal and other information about them, may be a former, obsessed (and sacked) member of the Metropolitan Police.

Reform UK has never had real support for its programme, such as it is. It has always been a party (much like the contemporary LibDems) which is voted for as a way of hitting at the main System parties, Lab and Con.
Reform was riding high until it became very obvious that Farage and Tice were almost begging the Jews and Israel to support their party. Reform Friends of Israel was set up, and you will never hear Reform leaders criticize the Jews or Israel. Farage. Tice. Matt Goodwin. Others.
Now, the unpleasant Robert Jenrick, very morally-flawed, has come out with Reform’s “welfare” (social security) plans. My reaction is both aversion to some of it, and surprise at how out of touch politically it is.
I fully support the idea that non-Europeans and other non-Brits should not be accessing social security; I favour even more the removal of non-Europeans from social housing. Indeed, I favour removing them from the country.
Yes. To that extent, I am in favour. However, Reform UK now goes a long way past that, saying that the unemployed must do “community service” or face losing benefits, meaning their food and shelter, in most cases. That is quite wrong, and wrongheaded.
“Community Service” is a punishment available to the courts after conviction. How can it be right to impose it on those whose only crime is to have no money?
The Reform plan would, in effect, institute serf labour on the unemployed, making them work for what amounts to peanuts (basic unemployment money is far less than £100 per week). What it says is “slave all week for ~£90 and a roof over your head”.
To my mind, that kind of directed labour would only be acceptable if those doing it were paid at least £200 per week (plus housing benefit where applicable).
Reform also intend to hit the disabled (apparently the mentally-disabled and those with “minor” conditions). Again quite wrongheaded. The dishonest assessments carried out by the ATOS carpetbaggers for the past 20 years prove that many are wrongly assessed (often by unqualified or semi-qualified box-tickers).
That is the moral argument. What about the political argument?
Reform is not going to be voted for by (99% of) the non-whites. Only about 80% of the UK population is echt-Brit (white Northern European) now, and that reduces to about 75% in England. Reform has to win the votes of that 75%.
Reform has now attacked the State benefits which, if you include State pensions (legally, they are benefits), are received by a huge proportion, over 50%, of the population. Reform may claim not to target pensions, but many on State Pension also get Pension Guarantee Credit (which tops up income to a minimum level). Can pensioners be sure that Reform will not hit that? I think not.
As to the young, not so many vote Reform. Reform is basically the party of the middleaged and elderly
It may be that Reform will lose many potential votes because of the above. Farage and Tice obviously think the contrary. Their quasi-Conservative bubble will isolate them from the majority of voters.
Reform was at one point, a couple of years ago, at 35% in the opinion polls. Then came the flagrant Israel-worship (or Jewish-lobby worship) of Farage and Tice, the sleaze allegations, and now this anti-“welfare” assault which will surely alienate at least half of the electorate.
Reform now struggles around 24%-25%.
Lab and Con are both still generally despised and hated by many, true, and that has been Reform’s trump card, but if Reform keeps weakening itself by these policy gaffes, it may be that it will be seen as a kind of slightly stronger-message, or “double-shot”, Conservative Party, and that will prevent it getting anywhere near a Commons majority.
