I once lived in a house from where parts of both Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor could be seen. In the cooler months, a wild part of the country.
As I said @ret_ward , @natashaloder is prematurely grand. No doubt she *thinks* she has bigger fish to fry, but that is not quite the same thing. She made contact with me (abusively) in the first place, and found she disliked it when I defended myself. This is often the case. https://t.co/678PG3UriN
I suspect so @rosie89656258 . Many in what I call the SPAD class, tribally liberal members of the new interchangeable establishment of pro-state toady journalists, special advisers, MPs etc, have very little experience of real life and are startlingly immature. https://t.co/sFbcrCILCH
Nick Griffin, Mark Collett, and Patriotic Alternative
I have never met either of the above individuals. Moreover, I do not “support” either, as such, and I do not oppose either, as such. Nick Griffin did well to turn the BNP into a machine capable of at least winning a few EU and local election seats prior to 2010. As for Mark Collett, I like what little I see online about Patriotic Alternative, inasmuch as they are at least doing things on the ground, even if those activities are only going on hikes and putting up banners at various places.
It is hard for an outsider like me to come to any firm view as to whether one or the other is more or less worthy or meritorious. I cannot think that either of those sides or groups is “what Britain needs”, as such, but “all roads lead to Rome” is, I suppose, my basic attitude.
It will take more than opposition to the “panicdemic” to make me like Alex Jones, but his main point is worthwhile.
Interesting to note that Jones’s type of free speech would not be permitted in the UK: OFCOM would “unperson” him at once. In fact, Jones would probably end up getting prosecuted on some bs Mickey Mouse charge or other.
People generally tend to think of Sovietism as having come into being purely under conditions of political violence. Much of its consolidation in the early years, however, took place under what were basically conditions of near-chaos. Rudolf Steiner referred, in 1918 or 1919, to the “impossible social conditions” in Russia (it did not become the Soviet Union until 1923 —officially, 22 December 1922—; the 33-year cycle of world politics and society, again).
What conditions were “impossible?” Shortages caused by official policy, weird laws, “rules”, “advice” etc. People getting sacked, quarantined, arrested for crazy small things, or because their faces did not fit in the New Order, or because they were “former people” who remembered that things had once been mainly better. Also, gradually more severe restrictions on movement, particularly travel outside the country.
Does any of this seem familiar? Yes, the old “socialism”, Marxism-Leninism, even social democracy, started to disappear rather fast after 1989 (again, that 33-year cycle), but the essentials are there, meaning especially the lunacy that becomes dogma, with harsh enforcement of crazy “rules”, supposed “laws” etc. Look at what has happened in the UK and in many other countries in 2020-2021.
The facemask nonsense, the arbitrary “rule of six”, “2 metres social distancing”, the absurd enforcement of those and other crazy “rules” and the “advice” (whims) of idiotic ministers etc, enforced by dim and/or brainwashed police. Arrests of people doing perfectly ordinary things such as walking in the country, sitting on park benches, sunbathing on beaches, going for a recreational car or bike ride outside the local area. Oh, and don’t forget the socially-mandated “clapathon”, idiots clapping on command outside their houses, notionally “for the NHS”, which NHS was pared back to a kind of skeleton service in reality.
All underpinned by a huge propaganda “fear campaign” in the msm.
It is hard to people now to understand how the Russian Revolution gradually became a total police state. Why did more people not resist? Why did many people comply, and even support the embedded nonsense? These things are not easy to spot whe they are happening. Look around you.
I am not just talking about the “Covid-19” situation. The pushing of the “Black LIves Matter” nonsense too: every ad with blacks in it, or with the multikulti “family” (often a white woman, often blonde, and a black man as husband figure). The same in dramas, “soaps” etc. Even historical dramas, like the recent one showing Ann Boleyn as a black woman!
None of this is a kind of “accident”. People, and not only in the UK, are being played like balalaikas, and most have no idea about it.

Professor Haushofer is said to have believed that control of the Central Asian space conferred mastery of the world. No clear sign of that so far. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Haushofer.
Haushofer’s theory does work, however, if Central Asia is used merely as the notional centrepoint of a Eurasian superstate comprised of Northern and Central Europe, Scandinavia, Finland, Russia/Siberia, and the more northerly of the other Russophone regions, notably Kazakhstan.
Kermode is just one example, perhaps typical, of a certain type of person favoured by the msm, especially the BBC. We must eventually have a massive cultural purge in the UK: the BBC, Sky, ITV, comedians, TV people, ad agency people etc. An Augean Stables situation.
I have never met either of the above people, am not hugely interested in either, and am not (as such) biased in favour of either, though in the interests of “transparency” I suppose that I should add that, in the 1990s, I did know someone who had been friendly with Clapton and his Italian then girlfriend.
Usually-reliable sources report that, though still incarcerated at Bronzefield Prison (near Heathrow), Alison is in excellent spirits.
Alison has apparently just been transferred to a different wing of the prison. She has a cell of her own, which contains, inter alia, a new mattress and a television which receives 30 channels, as well as all UK radio stations.
Alison’s cell door remains open all day, she can come and go as she pleases, and can shower, or go out for fresh air, whenever she wants.
One amusing point: it seems that a prisoner recognized Alison from last year and that, as a result, Alison was introduced to a number of other prisoners, who asked her to perform her songs. This resulted in what perhaps could be described as a general “sing-song”, the prisoners singing along with Alison. Pity that it could not have been filmed and distributed on social media. That would have made “you know who” (((s))) fume!
In other Alison Chabloz news, her upcoming trial has been deferred to a later date. It had been set down for today, 1 September 2021, with a time estimate of one day. That date was vacated recently. Now it seems that the trial will be held on a later date, if the matter proceeds at all.

37,000+?! How many “interpreters” etc did the UK have in Afghanistan? This is just more migration-invasion. I reluctantly agree to the evacuation of a relative few ex-collaborators and their families, on the ground of honour and loyalty (they could perhaps be funded to make a fresh start outside the UK, and outside Europe, in a more suitable region and jurisdiction), but not to this nonsense.
On the wider point, the Western allies have deserted many of those who worked with them in Afghanistan. The USA, as main component in the occupation, has shown itself to be unreliable and, indeed, disloyal. A matter which may prove to be a strategic error of large proportions.

Tweeter “@socialist1959”, a typical-seeming Twitter-twit, ever-ready to display ersatz socio-political virtue.
This is why Labour is so washed-up, because on the one hand you have the now-in-control pro-Jew-Zionist element under Starmer (“we agree with 90% of what the Government is doing but it should be doing it better, and while both wearing a facemask and bending the knee to the blacks”), and on the other the mass of politically-correct box-tickers such as tweeter “@socialist1959”, who are no doubt pro-migration-invasion, “anti-racist”, pro the “refugees welcome” nonsense etc.
Neither main wing of Labour has much of a mass appeal, even when set against the present shambolic government headed by a part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer.
British nationals stuck in Kabul have described of 'feeling abandoned' by UK officials. @CliveBull asks: Has the Afghan withdrawal been a political disaster for the British government? pic.twitter.com/PDavGVesL7
Please, people, no more about how, thanks to the UK’s supposedly excellent FCO (diplomatic staff), SIS (para-diplomatic and intelligence staff), and armed forces, “Britain punches above its weight”. It does not.
Claims of that sort have now been floodlit as completely hollow.
Britain now has little more than mirages. In place of a properly functioning Foreign Office, a box-ticking, virtue-signalling and bureaucratic culture which accomplishes almost nothing. In place of a properly-functioning secret service, fantasies of one (whether the fantasies of supposed past —Second World War and Cold War— “successes”, or the outright fantasies peddled in James Bond films and the like). In place of a properly-functioning army, navy, and air force etc, we have stripped-down, stripped-out skeleton forces unable to do jack **** most of the time (as witness the Kabul situation).
Kabul
Kabul is a city which I have never visited, in a country which I have never visited. I have only met a relatively few people who have actually been there (whether before its post-1978 troubles, during the years of Soviet occupation, or more recently, during the past 20 years of Western control or partial control).
I do not claim to know a great deal about Kabul. Thank God for the Internet and for (whatever its flaws) Wikipedia.
For me, slightly unexpected. There again, msm focus has always been on a few locations; at present, the airport. Fact is, of course, that most of the nearly five million inhabitants are not at that airport but, probably, keeping their heads down and waiting to see what transpires.
That tweeter, who thinks that 200 suffering cats and dogs are just “stupid pets“, is a Zionist lecturer who, a number of years ago, made a demonstrably false documentary (I think shown on Channel 4) about the Treblinka site in Poland (critical youtube videos about which documentary have since been expunged from YouTube and Twitter by the Jewish-Zionist lobby).
Do you think that human lives are worth more, less, or the same as animal lives?
The Japanese are said to have an answer as an alternative to “yes” and “no“: “mu“. This apparently means, “I do not agree with the assumption of your question“.
The bald question is too wide; all human lives, all animal lives. For me, some animal lives are worth more than some human lives.
🇦🇫 EXC 🇦🇫
As Pen Farthing escapes Afghanistan with 150 cats and dogs, there are British people still there.
This is Ben Slater, former bodyguard to ambassadors, who has spent 2 weeks helping evacuate people.
That, though, is in no way the fault of Pen Farthing and his supporters; any fault lies with the British Government, and a UK bureaucracy incapable of doing its job properly.
Late thoughts about Pen Farthing and his critics
This man is a hero and the British public recognise that. Any attempts by anyone to say otherwise are shameful. @PenFarthing represents all that is good in humanity and has restored faith at a time when it was needed most. We're right behind him! pic.twitter.com/k35LU82JQQ
In my view, the supporters of Pen Farthing and the cats and dogs rescued are those who, in general, have their hearts in the right place. The critics and (if you like) “haters” of Pen Farthing seem to be mostly cruel, callous nobodies, often posing as great humanitarians (online Twitter-twit squad).
The other tweets of “@Jonny_Nowak33” show someone somewhere in the “Conservative”/Brexit Party ideological zone. A silly little person trying to be edgy.
I also saw tweets by some little wheelchair-bound autistic and mental afflict (whose name I cannot now find), one of which said simply, “Pen Farthing is a coward“. A man who served in the Royal Marines for decades, with final rank of sergeant. I do not claim that all Royal Marines are heroes, but I should doubt that many are cowards.
Twitter is now largely the comfort zone of the crazed, those with mental problems, and those without any real principles or ideology to speak of. Many are pathetic virtue-signallers, some are trying to make a impact on the other nuts who tweet.
Twitter is still of use as illustrative material (as used on my blog), but not as a serious ideas exchange. Also, the (often mentally-disturbed) “antifascist” idiots and/or Jew-Zionists have had most serious thinkers expelled from Twitter.
For me, from what I have read and seen in the past week (I had not known of him before that), Pen Farthing is someone who has been trying, against the odds, to help animals and people, and who has found himself up against large-scale situations, and large and uncaring organizations and agendas: US forces, a US government shamefully fleeing and leaving its allies in the lurch, Taliban barbarians, mass panic at a shambolic airport, a UK government trying to limit the domestic political fallout, and a UK mass media which both wants a story and is trying to give covering fire to a badly-prepared, chaotic UK government.
Maybe Pen Farthing did shout threats at a UK minister’s adviser. The bastard weasel probably deserved that, and maybe more.
The same goes for the UK governmental and diplomatic bureaucracy, which is near-useless. As for UK MPs and ministers, I doubt whether so many useless deadheads have ever been collected together at Westminster.
Anyone who, like tweeter “Anastasia”/”@Speakingasl”, talks about “a crate full of cats” is indeed a heartless type, the sort that probably likes to think she is full of love of humanity etc, but actually is lacking in real compassion; a box-ticker. We saw the same mentality recently over the alpaca Geronimo. Quite a few of the pseudo-socialist and other Twitter-twits saying that the animal was “just an alpaca” etc, and “what about [fill in virtue-signal]?”…
I’m not rebelling against anyone. I’m just not wearing a mask because I don’t have to, and because in my opinion it’s a total nonsense to do so. It’s an even bigger nonsense to define yourself by your mask wearing status, and to use it as an instrument to signal your virtue.

I wish that I could say that “I cannot believe how disorganized” has been the UK/US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Sadly, but at the same time lividly, I can believe it all too easily. Taking the British aspect, the quality of British politicians (there are no statesmen) and bureaucrats has declined very much in the past decades.
Britain may pose as a world player, but the major states know that the UK is now a “man of straw”, and no amount of “comms” and public relation bs about “punching above its weight”, “intelligence successes”(where are they?) , “intangible assets”, “soft power” and the like can put that Humpty-Dumpty back together again, not for a very long time, if ever.
As for the Americans, they have betrayed their allies and clients before, but I doubt that any government or group will now place much reliance on American honour or loyalty, or on American words.

I hear stories about NHS inattention and/or negligence constantly. The work of the more dedicated NHS people is weakened by a system grown complacent, and by the fact that for most UK people there is no choice.

Radio loudmouth Julia Hartley-Brewer once again shows her ignorance. Some animals are worth more than some human beings. Fact. In relation to the Afghan situation, those cats and dogs are completely innocent victims, unlike most of the people there.
“Other animals, which, on account of their interests having been neglected by the insensibility of the ancient jurists, stand degraded into the class of things. … The day has been, I grieve it to say in many places it is not yet past, in which the greater part of the species, under the denomination of slaves, have been treated … upon the same footing as … animals are still. The day may come, when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny. The French have already discovered that the blackness of skin is no reason why a human being should be abandoned without redress to the caprice of a tormentor. It may come one day to be recognized, that the number of legs, the villosity of the skin, or the termination of the os sacrum, are reasons equally insufficient for abandoning a sensitive being to the same fate. What else is it that should trace the insuperable line? Is it the faculty of reason, or perhaps, the faculty for discourse?…the question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer? Why should the law refuse its protection to any sensitive being?… The time will come when humanity will extend its mantle over everything which breathes…“ [Jeremy Bentham (1748 – 1832)].

It is absolutely shameful someone should be sent to prison for saying something that offends. Obviously I understand that governments, laws and sentencing are influenced by pressure, funding and lobbying but I didn’t think it would ever be made so obvious.
The re-sentencing of Alison Chabloz is set down for today. The re-sentencing has now been deferred twice (last Friday and this Monday) because material about Alison held by the probation people could not be released without the permission of undesignated “higher authority”, apparently. In the meantime, Alison has been in Bronzefield Prison, near Heathrow, for the past 4-5 days
All because of some remarks on an internet podcast about Jews, Zionism, “holocaust” fakery etc.
As far as the resentencing for the matter directly in question is concerned, the judge at Southwark Crown Court cannot hand down more than the maximum laid down by law, 6 months. That would in effect be 3 months actually in prison, and Alison has already served 9 weeks, has a 4-day credit for time wrongly served in 2020, and has now been remanded in custody for 5 days.
On the above premises, Alison would serve less than 2 weeks extra even if sentenced to “6 months”.
It occurs to me, though, that the court may find other ways of tacking on extra prison time, such as any finding that Alison was improperly let off from completing the “Unpaid Work Requirement” aka “community service” (forced/slave labour), which was part of her sentence from her yet earlier 2018 trial before Westminster Magistrates (for the heinous crime of mocking the “holy” Jewish Zionists and the “holocaust” farrago).
Alison did actually spend a few days in 2018 picking up litter in wet Derbyshire churchyards.
I was never, mainly, a criminal barrister, despite having done Crown Court and magistrates trials as Counsel, mainly in the London area in 1993-1995. Also, I have not practised at the Bar since 2008 (and, famously, or notoriously, was —wrongfully— disbarred in 2016). I therefore may be wrong about this, but I cannot see how the sentencing judge today can do anything about any incomplete slave labour from another case, and years ago.
More likely, the sentencing judge may be thinking about sentencing Alison to “slave labour” (community service labour) for this present matter. That would probably be more onerous to her than spending what amounts to, in practice, probably only about a week or so extra in prison, unpleasant though that may be (though information from a usually-reliable source says that she at least has had her own modern cell, and a television, over the past 4-5 days spent in Bronzefield Prison).
What was that phrase, about those who would “break a butterfly upon a wheel”?…
As I reported yesterday, Alison has also now been made subject to an Order, pursuant to a 2014 piece of police-state legislation, purporting to ban her from making any public —or even, it seems, private— mention of Jews, Zionists, Zionism, Israel, or the “holocaust” farrago. The Order even covers mention of WW2, and even any member of the NSDAP! For 3 years (the maximum duration permitted by the legislation). Draconian. She will be appealing that to the Administrative Court. The ambit of that Order is absurdly wide, in my view.
I shall relay news of the re-sentencing result when I have it, later in the day.
[Alison Chabloz: singer, songwriter, satirist, and imprisoned revisionist dissident]
[Update, 24 October 2021: in the event, Alison Chabloz was sentenced to an extra term of imprisonment, mostly flowing from —as I speculated might happen, but which I thought unlikely to happen— the Unpaid Work Requirement from her previous sentence. Most unjust. However, she has now, at time of writing, been out of prison for many weeks]

Looking down today’s list at Southwark Crown Court, I noticed that, out of 5 trials listed, only one defendant has a British (Welsh) first name and surname (if that means anything). The rest? 3 are obviously Muslim and the other something like Malay, or Thai, at a guess.
In fact, even that one “Welsh” name may not be really British (I do not know).
I was going to copy and paste the list, but it is Crown Copyright, with reproduction strictly prohibited.

Unconfirmed reports state that Alison Chabloz has now been re-sentenced at Southwark Crown Court.
If the said reports are accurate, the sentencing judge has trawled back through the non-custodial part of the sentence Alison received, not for the most recent conviction, but the earlier one, in 2018! That sentence included a suspended prison sentence, as well as several non-custodial aspects.
It seems that what today’s sentencing judge has done is decide, on the basis of probation reports from 2018 (which are disputed), that Alison has not completed certain aspects of that 2018 sentence (eg enough hours of “slave labour”); the judge has also given Alison (as expected) an increase in sentence from the 18 weeks ordered by the magistrates earlier in 2021.
The result is that Alison has been sentenced to a headline sentence of a total of 32 weeks of imprisonment, of which she must serve half, i.e. 16 weeks, minus the 9 weeks already served, making 7 weeks extra.
I do not know whether Alison will be credited with the 4 days she served in 2020 prior to her (in effect) successful appeal on an earlier matter, or the 5 days which she has now served on remand, while awaiting this sentencing hearing. Presumably so. All the same, that would still leave Alison in prison for at least five and a half weeks from today.
I do not know whether there will be an appeal on sentence to the Court of Appeal.
The one bright aspect of the re-sentence, assuming that the unconfirmed reports are correct, is that there will now be no Criminal Behaviour Order, apparently. It may be that reports from yesterday (from usually-reliable sources) referred to what the judge was considering rather than what he eventually ordered. The presiding judge today said that to impose such an Order would be “unjustifiable“. With respect to His Honour, I can only agree!
However, the judge “advised” Alison to steer clear of social media.
The malicious Jew-Zionist pressure group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], has admitted “pursuing” Alison Chabloz relentlessly “for years” (their words). The court might have taken that harrying and trolling into account, at least in mitigation, but obviously did not.
Some people, even on the social-nationalist and anti-Zionist side of the argument, have had their disputes with Alison Chabloz. There is, however, no disputing her courage.

Alison Chabloz— more detailon the re-sentence
Usually-reliable sources now report that Alison will be credited at least with the 5 days spent in custody on remand; she will therefore spend just over 6 weeks more in prison. No news as to the 4 other days, served in 2020.
More detail about how the sentencing judge today [H.H. Judge Beddoe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Beddoe] calculated his sentence: on the three charges wherewith Alison was convicted by magistrates earlier this year, 12 weeks each on the first two, consecutive, making 24 weeks. A further 12 weeks, but concurrent; then 8 weeks activated of the original 2018 suspended sentence, making 32 weeks in toto.
As noted earlier, that 32 weeks is then reduced by half, and then further reduced by the 9 weeks and 5 days Alison has already served, making about 6 weeks to be served, which, if she is credited with the other 4 days mentioned, might reduce the actual time to be served to about 5 and a half weeks.
It will be noted that, had the sentencing judge today not activated 8 weeks of the original 2018 suspended sentence, the total sentence today would have been 24 weeks, which would then have been reduced by half to 12 weeks, minus time served of 9 weeks, and also minus 5 days spent on remand in prison, which would have left Alison with no more than about 2 weeks to serve (less than two weeks if the extra 4 days were credited).
In other words, had the sentencing judge today not activated 8 weeks of the 2018 suspended sentence (an unexpected and remarkable decision), my previously-blogged calculations re. how much extra time Alison would have to serve would have been completely correct.
Further reports indicate that Alison is in good and defiant spirits despite the relatively harsh sentence. She is already working on a new song, this time about her various judges!
A final note, this time about the probation monkeys: on Monday, the probation “service” claimed that Alison had performed none of the “unpaid work requirement” (forced labour) from 2018. Today, when the reports were made available (the accuracy of which the presiding judge apparently criticized), it became clear that Alison had actually done 43 hours. Quite a difference. Administration is breaking down in the UK.
Write to Alison Chabloz
We should always support “the men (and women) behind the wire”. Alison is now in Bronzefield Prison. She would no doubt once again welcome cards, letters, books and small monetary gifts.
Her address is: Alison Chabloz A6478EK, HMP Bronzefield, Woodthorpe Road, Ashford, Middlesex, TW15 3JZ.
The prison number must always be included.
Books must be *new, *paperback, and preferably sent by commercial booksellers such as Abe Books (nb. Bronzefield does not accept any Amazon deliveries).
Money can also be sent, via the official system: see https://www.gov.uk/send-prisoner-money. With money sent, a prisoner can buy stamps, stationery, food etc. Also telephone credits.
Addendum
I have just now received a report to the effect that the presiding and sentencing judge in Alison Chabloz’s case did actually make a Criminal Behaviour Order against her yesterday. So my blog was accurate after all. He must have changed his mind, i.e. thought better of it. A Crown Court judge is in fact entitled to amend his own sentence within 56 days of it having been passed.
As I blogged yesterday and today, the Order that was apparently made yesterday would have been eminently appealable, in that it was ludicrously wide in its ambit, and unreasonably harsh in its duration. Still, water under the bridge…”and no need to mention the war”!

Quite an appalling, halting, meandering, unconvincing, staccato performance by PM Johnson opening Commons debate. Nobody could accuse him of rising to the occasion.
“What does it say about us as a country…?” Well, let me see…that the UK is scarcely a country, let alone a nation, any more. Swamped by non-European immigrants who are breeding fast, exploited by finance-capitalists and others (often —though certainly not always— Jew-Zionists), ruled by a cabal of NWO/ZOG puppets and Friends of Israel zealots (many Jewish, part-Jewish, Pakistani, Indian etc), and with standards sliding in all areas. Oh, and a state with only small and shrinking military and naval forces.
The UK has been increasingly in a dependent position, via a vis the USA, since 1940. So many people in the UK, though, cling to the idea that the UK is still the world power it was in the times of Empire.
Longer than that, actually. More like 1916, when we went bankrupt and launched the Somme offensive on borrowed money. https://t.co/qeIGRxNmIP
It has been many years since I was a practising barrister, but that tweet by Stephen Silverman, self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” at the CAA “charity”, appears to me to be a plain contempt of court.

This is the fault of the US and its allies (notably the UK), which should have imposed a new form of society, even if that meant exterminating backward elements en masse.

“Appalling lack of intelligence” [Nick Ferrari on LBC radio]. Well, that’s SIS for you. A career opportunity for some of the British middle classes, but not much good when you come right down to it, and when you strip away the (hugely overblown) WW2 “successes”, the rather few Cold War successes (I suppose that Penkovsky was the numero uno), and the fantasies of spy fiction, such as Ian Fleming’s James Bond books and the subsequent films, not much is left, certainly not in the public domain.
Forget Philby. He was of little real interest (though that would not have been the case had he gone on to be Chief of the SIS).
The real SIS failures have not been its probably small number of traitorous staff but its actual intelligence failures, such as failure to predict the fall of the Shah, fall of the Soviet bloc, invasion of the Falklands etc. Actual uselessness.
Operations such as putting Gordievsky in a car boot and smuggling him to Finland were of rather small importance in the big scheme of things.
Mitrokhin? His material is of huge historical importance, but that is another matter. There may well have been other, still-confidential material, but whether that was so or not, he was a “walk-in”, and all SIS had to do was not reject his approach (and later excavate the bulk of his material from under his dacha). He was never cultivated or developed prior to his “recruitment” (if such be the bon mot); the initiative was his. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Mitrokhin
Incidentally, Ian Fleming was far from being an “intelligence expert”: he was found a job (having been useless at everything beforehand) by his loaded banking family [Fleming’s Bank: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Fleming_%26_Co.] as the assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence, basically a male PA. He was given a courtesy rank, Lieutenant, then Lt. Commander. He was never a real naval (or intelligence) officer, neither was he given any training, whether naval or otherwise. Most if not all of the operations he planned during WW2 were failures or nullities. A play “intelligence officer”.

Readers of the blog will recall that, last Friday (13 August 2021), Alison Chabloz, having lost her appeal from the Westminster Mags, was (oddly) remanded in custody pending sentence today (Monday 16 August 2021) by the presiding judge, H.H. Judge Beddoe [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Beddoe].
The current situation is that Alison was “produced” in court today, but the Court is still having “difficulties” accessing Alison’s probation records, it having transpired on Friday last that “higher authority” would be required to allow access even to the judge (who is a Circuit judge)!
The net result of this bureaucratic nonsense was that, today, sentence could not be passed, because the judge wanted to see those probation records first. He has therefore once again remanded Alison in custody, this time until Wednesday!
As I blogged previously, Alison has already served about 9 weeks in prison as a result of the 18-week sentence given by the lower court, which means that any greater sentence given by this present court (to a maximum of 6 months) would, in reality (bearing in mind the usual release after half of the sentence is served) mean that Alison would have to do about another 2-3 weeks (she has several days “credit” for having served a few days in 2020 prior to a successful appeal).
Alison now has another 5 days served in Bronzefield Prison, so (if my calculations are accurate) even if she gets the maximum sentence on Wednesday, can probably expect release about 1-2 weeks later.
I am beginning to think that she will not get further imprisonment, or that perhaps some way will be found to “embugger” her otherwise, by adding on “community service” or some other onerous penalty.
We shall discover what “British justice” has to say on Wednesday.

Anecdotal but…in the early 1990s, a Sri Lankan solicitor, a woman, used to instruct a few members of my then chambers (including me, occasionally).

My point is that she was presumably part of the “educated elite” of Sri Lanka.
All the same, it may be that, after almost unimaginable destruction and bloodshed, the first generation of a post-Aryan super-race may one day (maybe as soon as 2050 or 2100) walk the depopulated and greening expanses of what were once the British urban and suburban areas.

Alison Chabloz
Latest news is that Alison’s appeal, at Southwark Crown Court, has failed.
It will be recalled, by those who have read yesterday’s blog post, that one of the two magistrates who flank the presiding Circuit judge at such an appeal had to be removed when it came to light that he had actually been a trustee of a Jewish “charity” to do with the Anne Frank “diary”.
It seems, on the face of it, incredible that such a person could be allotted such an appeal, bearing in mind the subject matter and the defendant!
Well, there it is. The appeal proceeded, with only two of the usual three members sitting.
According to a source thought reliable, the presiding judge today expressed the view that the sentence passed by the lower court on Alison was “lenient”; a very strange idea of leniency, bearing in mind that the sentence passed had been 18 weeks’ imprisonment out of a maximum of 6 months (i.e. c.26 weeks).
The usual practice in a case of this sort (where only a small increase of sentence can be handed down) is to remand the defendant on bail to reappear for sentence on (in this case) Monday 16 August. Alison, however, has been remanded in custody over the weekend.
The presiding judge is, apparently, “minded” to pass a further custodial sentence on Monday, though that sentence will be short. In fact, even were the maximum sentence (6 months) to be passed, she could expect to be released at the halfway point, and Alison has already done about 2 months in prison, so she might only serve 3 weeks or so.
I have to say that this looks more like (further) persecution rather than unbiased justice.
Another interesting fact: “To the surprise of everyone in court, including the judge and the prosecutor, the representative of the Probation Service after making enquiries informed the judge that access to Alison’s probation file is restricted and higher authority will be required to view it. No doubt this very strange circumstance will catch the interest of the conspiracy theorists. It is on any view a very odd thing.” [from a reliable source].
That, apparently, was why the judge did not pass sentence immediately.
Well, the fanatical Jew-Zionist element will be rubbing its hands tonight, but whatever happens on Monday, Alison will be out of prison within a few weeks at the latest. There also remains a slight possibility (perhaps very slight) that she will not be imprisoned on Monday.

A textbook example of the unreality that was Corbyn-Labour. Tweeter “@jrc1921” actually showcases the calculations of BBC journalist Chris Mason, and does not seek to say that they are inaccurate, but persists in the idea that planting 200 trees per minute (i.e. more than 3 every second!) is both “feasible” and ” relatively conservative”!
True, a British equivalent of the 1970s Khmer Rouge could, in principle, get millions of people planting trees, even on such a scale. 100 million trees per year could be planted, were every single adult of appropriate age to plant 2 trees per year.
The devil is in the administrative detail. That is the unreality. Organizing 50 million people to plant 1 tree each, every 6 months. How? Where?
Not that I am against tree planting. Au contraire. Let’s do some good! Let’s have some fun!
Political reality is what people can accomplish, and so to that extent is flexible, not fixed. Sometimes 2+2 can = 5… To that extent, I agree with the tweeter above, and not only with Chris Mason. Both are right, if you like…

There may be climate change, in some degree (e.g. Australia is now certainly much hotter than it was in the 1960s when I was there), but that has happened throughout history. Humanity is only partly responsible. Moreover, whatever Britain, or even Europe does, is of small, indeed minimal, importance. Britain’s CO2 “emissions” are about 1% of the global whole.
“Climate change”, like “Covid-19” and other stuff (eg “Black Lives Matter” nonsense) has been distorted and weaponized by transnational conspirators, in order to impose an agenda. Call it “The Great Reset” (in part), if you like.
