No doubt the pro-immigration, pro-multikulti drones (paid or amateur) will be flooding social media and the msm with “it was ever thus“, “London was always like that” etc. No. Not true. Not on this scale. 100x worse than it was in the 1970s, let alone 1950s.
Whatever you think of Vladimir Putin, his criticisms of the West are valid:
๐ดPolitically arrogant ๐ดHypocritical and corrupt ๐ดCulturally decadent ๐ดMorally degenerate
“PUTIN: EUROPE IS FEAR-MONGERING ABOUT ME TO FEED ZELENSKY “What they say about us, that we’re going to attack Europe after Ukraine, is complete nonsense. It’s intimidation of their own population solely to get money out of them. This is happening in the context of the fact that their economies are sinking, and standards of living are falling.” Source: @Sputnik“
Is it untrue? I think not. Look at the UK. Gradually falling to pieces, and really not so slowly now.
I do not agree with or support inhumane conditions for prisoners, regardless of their crimes.

A reference to those detained and convicted in relation to the recent terrorist attack in Moscow, who may spend their lives as of now in so-called “coffin” cells measuring 4-6 square metres; cells as tiny as 6 feet by 6.
It troubles me that the apparent terrorists were treated with such brutality, verging on sadism (to say the very least), on the day when they were detained; also, that the now-mandated conditions of detention seem worse than simply inhumane; as bad as, or worse, than those suffered by some prisoners in America’s “Supermax” prisons.
It is not that I think that the terrorists “deserve” better treatment but rather, that to treat even such individuals as they have been treated and continue to be treated, diminishes Russia itself, just as Guantanamo, Bagram, Abu Ghraib etc diminished, and continue to diminish, America.

Terrible, but even so swamped by the total of supposedly “lawful” migration— hundreds of thousands every single year now.

From the horse’s mouth. Pity, though, that Jewish-lobby creature Jenrick cannot use English properly: it’s “uninterested“, not “disinterested“, in this and similar cases. A common, and irritating, mistake in modern English usage.

Seems to sum up everything about Britain in 2024: the environmental calamity, the nanny-state-ism, but also the historical ignorance. The lower Thames (in my meaning, the Thames below Reading, and especially below Kingston) was actually far dirtier in the past, in the 1950s, and back to the 1850s, perhaps even the 1750s.
Still, it is true that the rivers of England and Wales have been almost abandoned by this Government. Effluent and agricultural (farmers’) vandalistic fertilizer and other runoff going into the waters; and water itself being abstracted to service the needs of a UK population growing by 500,000-1,000,000 each year (by reason of mass migration and/or migration invasion).

I do not agree with all of that article by ex-MP Emma Dent Coad in the rump Morning Star, above, but I do agree with some. Worth reading, though she fails to point out at least one possible reason why faux-radical Paul Mason got so angry when Labour’s Israel lobby was mentioned: Mason himself is partly Jewish, and also seems to be very pro-Israel, certainly opposing those he considers “antisemitic”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)#Early_life_and_education.
Looking ahead
It is all too easy to get distracted by the noise of the world, by short-term politics, by the daily news agenda, by personalities etc. We must try to look ahead, beyond the present year, the present decade; even beyond the present century and the present millennium.
My thesis, though complex in total, is simple in essence: humanity needs to make a quantum leap in evolution. In order for that to happen, there has to be a suitable demographic, ethnic basis. For me, that has to be the European peoples as a whole, particularly the Northern Europeans.
However, the European people(s) are not the end result, or the highest possible stage, but merely a base, also a transitional stage to higher evolution of consciousness.
It is a matter of concern that births and birth-rates to Europeans (including Russians and some other Slavs, the peoples of the far future) are falling quite fast now.
The above factor may be a sign of an impending civilizational catastrophe, but may also be more than merely a “crisis”; it may also be an opportunity for the European peoples to seize the world-historic initiative in terms of demographics. In other words, to start creating the basis of a basis for a future super-race, to put it that way; an advance on —and by— present-day humanity.

A genocidal and dehumanising rant from an extremist far-right politician. Israel must cast out these types of politicians, from the cabinet, from the Knesset, from its political landscape. Just hideous pic.twitter.com/Fvhz9mbXPO
As seen in that tweet, even some Jews, indeed even some Zionist pro-Israel Jews, find many of the members of the Knesset (Israeli parliament) beyond the pale, so to speak. All the same, that ranting Jew politician was elected by Israeli voters. He is only expressing, in an extreme form, what is, at least arguably, the mainstream Israeli view in substance, though usually couched in a less extreme, less obviously violent way.
So far, the Israeli revenge attack on Gaza has killed 30,000-40,000 of the inhabitants, mostly women and children. The number grievously wounded must now be as many as 100,000.
Yet one sees Jews in the UK and elsewhere defend the Israeli actions (use of white phosphorus, use of famine as a weapon, flattening of huge areas of residential housing etc, use of drones and snipers killing families or lone unarmed civilians) as “defensive”, “justified“, “not genocide“, “not war crimes” etc. In effect, those (Jews and non-Jews) who support Israel, and who are tweeting support for Israel, are supporting those actions.
They are often the same ones whining and screaming that some child in London or wherever has chalked a swastika on a garage door or the side of a bus, and that that is a kind of “terrorism”, and that they feel “afraid” to go out of their houses. Pathetic.

Of course, I have no idea whether Paul Mason is or is not actually an agent of one or another secret government service, as many claim, but he has always struck me as being inherently unreliable, and not very trustworthy in any respect. That’s my honest opinion, anyway. Also, Mason is a little too enthusiastic about the idea of locking people up for their views…

Well, one of the comments on the blog (made allegedly by me) that “got me into trouble” over the past year or three referenced Jewish/Zionist/Israeli influence in the USA, and/or the mindset of many Americans who (influenced by TV, radio, and Press) blindly support the Israel lobby, so I had better not say too much here about “freedom” in the supposed “land of freedom”…
It’s strange…as recently as the 1970s, Britain had almost complete free speech on political, social, historical and other topics. What a contrast to today’s “iron fist in velvet glove” repression, abused by —mainly— the groups associated with the Jewish lobby and Israel; the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] etc.
I think that, eventually, the huge defensive works undertaken by the Kiev-regime forces will lie abandoned by their former defenders. Already, the regime is using press-gangs to “recruit” soldiers, and is slowly running out of arms, ammunition, and other supplies.

I am that age, consume almost no mainstream media and have no interest in supporting foreign wars. Learned my shameful lesson with Iraq. I try to encourage everyone to use X. Even MY mother (in her eighties) gave up on Fox over its coverage.
There is a definite gulf between the older and younger generations (without defining the exact age boundaries too precisely). The older someone is, the more likely that that person will both watch and trust the TV news (in the UK, BBC, ITV, Sky, in that order), and will also take seriously the print newspapers, either in their original form or in their online offshoots.
I doubt whether anyone under 30, perhaps anyone under 40, actually buys print newspapers any more. I am 67, and have not bought a real newspaper for at least 20 years. Looking in the local Waitrose, I notice that the only people buying newspapers are those in their eighties, at a guess.
There's no money to invest. The US Govt is broke. No surplus in decades. $34 trillion in debt. $214 trillion in unfunded liabilities (without surplus that's debt). You run a bankrupt nation surviving with money printing. For that reason the world stops trading in USD. It's over.
“Almost unnoticed amid the drama and crisis that hit Latin America every week, in the last days of February the Cuban government asked the United Nations for aid to address a growing food shortage.

Hurt by tightened US restrictions, decaying domestic production, a weak post-Covid tourism industry and indifference from its allies, the island is living through its worst economic days since the collapse of the Soviet Union more than three decades ago. A string of blackouts brought people into the streets last weekend, shouting for โfood and powerโ โ a rare display of social unrest since the turmoil that shook the island in July 2021, which the regime contained with crushing force.
Once you get past the finger-pointing, what weโre witnessing is the collapse of Cubaโs socialist regime. This transition could take decades. Or it could happen in much the same way as that great Cuba aficionado Ernest Hemingway once wrote of bankruptcy: โGradually, then suddenly.โ

“Three out of the four Tory MPs seen as the most likely replacements for Rishi Sunak would fare even worse than the current prime minister in a general election battle against Keir Starmer, according to the latest Opinium poll for the Observer.
The Conservatives have been involved in a fresh bout of leadership speculation over the past week, after rumours surfaced of a plot to dump Sunak and replace him with Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House, before the next election.
But Opinium found that of the four most likely replacements for Sunak, were there to be a contest โ Mordaunt, James Cleverly, the home secretary, Suella Braverman, the former home secretary, and Kemi Badenoch, the business and trade secretary โ only Mordaunt would have any positive effect at all on the Tory vote.
And even then, the โMordaunt bounceโ would only be marginal and still end in a large defeat.”
[The Guardian]
The Guardian scribbler either cannot see or —probably— prefers not to see the main reason why voters polled prefer Penny Mordaunt to the other three— she is the only European (white) of the quartet.
This is to what the Conservative Party is now reduced. Out of three potential party leaders, only one, Penny Mordaunt, is even English (Cleverly has an English father).
The Great Replacement. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.
That Opinium poll puts the Cons on 25%, Lab 41%, Reform UK 11%, LibDems 10%, Greens 8%.
According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that would leave the Conservative Party with 124 MPs (Lab 437, LibDems 47, Greens 2, Reform UK 0); a bad defeat, but less of a complete collapse than shown in other recent polls (one of which put the Cons on only 19%).
The fact is that, since the 1970s, the UK has changed out of all recognition, and in the next 50 years will probably be completely ruined, unless something really big happens. A million a year coming in, and only about 200,000 a year leaving (but mostly English/British people emigrating to Australasia etc). Even in terms of sheer numbers, and “net”, 700,000+ every single year…unsustainable. UK society is already near breaking point.

โWill the triple lock [on pensions] be in the Tory manifesto this time around?โ asks #BBCLauraK
For the Conservative Party, it is now not about trying to “win” GE 2024, but trying to mitigate losses— damage control.
Apart from the wealthy/very wealthy, the core Conservative Party vote is composed of persons over the age of 65. About 20% in toto. Recently, that core vote has been showing signs of erosion. Hence Jeremy Hunt’s triple lock pledge.
If the core vote stays quite firm, and the Conservative Party gets about 25% in the upcoming General Election, Con Party might expect to be left with maybe 100 MPs, possibly more if Labour dips below 45%.
If, on the other hand, the Cons only get 20%, their MP-cadre might only be 40. The first scenario is very bad for them but the second, disastrous.
Should the Con vote overall fall to 15% (admittedly unlikely), the number of Con MPs would fall below 15, effectively a wipe-out.
So that is Hunt’s idea. Keep the pensioners on board, and so end up in 2025 with 100+ MPs instead of 50 or fewer.
Anneliese Dodds, the uninspiring Labour Shadow Chancellor, has responded sluggishly to Hunt’s foray, and will not commit to the triple lock. Result— not a knockout, but a win on points anyway for Hunt and the Cons.
In reality, Hunt’s pledge was an easy and cheap one to make. He knows that there is a 99% (?) chance of the Conservative Party not forming the next government; he will never have to implement his “pledge”.
That being so, the pledge is worthless, and any thinking pensioner voter will (?) understand that it changes nothing, and the pensioner vote changes nothing, in terms of formation of the next government.
On the premises, that may mean that the “pledge” will not be fully effective in influencing intended voting. Still, it may have some effect.
I should add that, though I myself do now receive a State Pension, it is only about half of the maximum, by reason of my many years overseas. The pledge by Hunt therefore impacts me far less than it does others.

Emily Thornberry is a freeloading pro-Israel hog, riding high on her portfolio of rented-out houses and the monies she has taken from public funds. A parasite.

As most readers will be aware, I was recently sentenced for breach of the notorious police-state Communications Act 2003, s.127. My sentence was to complete, between now and the end of the year, 15 (notional) days or part-days similar to the old-style “probation”; mostly quite short meetings with the Probation Service.
I also have to pay a notional sum re. costs of my trial in the magistrates’ court, assessed at ยฃ734. My crowdfunder, first published several days ago, has reached ยฃ195, leaving another ยฃ539 to be raised to meet that main target, or another ยฃ805 to meet my full target.

As to the blog itself, it will continue to be published daily, or near-daily.
The malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”) cabal and Crown (“Clown”?) Prosecution Service (which the “CAA” —typically—badgered for 7+ years to prosecute me) completely failed to persuade the sentencing judge to curtail publication of, or censor the content of, the blog.
I myself, however, have decided to make the blog gradually more focussed on analysis, and less on comment, as well as making it more diplomatic, but without compromise on ideology or principle.
The “CAA” is evidently embarrassed by the ultimate result. Their endless whining and demanding may have led to me being charged and —after a year— convicted , and to my having to waste much time defending myself, but the ultimate result, apart from the ยฃ734 in financial imposts (which may be largely covered by donations), is that I have to meet once every 1-3 weeks with the Probation Service for the rest of this year; 15 meetings in all; I have already attended one (short and not at all unpleasant).
The “CAA” crowed mightily on Twitter/X when I was convicted (November 2023), but since the sentencing hearing (14 March 2024), they have not tweeted once about me. Ha.

“Taurus missiles could have a significant impact on Ukraineโs ability to defend itself, โ Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski supported Ukraine in its desire to obtain the Taurus and accused Germany of indecisiveness in supplying new weapons systems to the war zone.
“Thanks to cruise missiles from other countries, the Ukrainians have already convinced the Russians to move their logistics bases, such as ammunition depots, far behind the front line. And the German missiles will force them to move even further,” he said.“
As for those missiles, yes, they would assist the Kiev regime’s war effort, but its war is now lost anyway— insufficient soldiers, arms, and ammunition, and collapsing morale. If Germany supplies such missiles, not only Kiev might become a major target for —far more powerful— Russian missiles, but also other cities; even Berlin itself. Don’t stoke the fires of war.

Galloway is, to some extent, a kind of fraud and, to the extent that he is not, stands mainly for the Muslim bloc, not for white people in the UK (the people formerly known as “British”). He used to block me on Twitter, when I still had a Twitter account (the Jewish lobby, after a long campaign, had Twitter expel me in 2018).

In 1998, I lived for three months in Egypt and, for the entire lunar month of Ramadan, was staying at Mamoura Beach, a suburb of Alexandria, where I took a flat. I believe in “when in Rome, do as the Romans do” (within reason), but not all reciprocate.
Not that I fasted like the Arabs, but I ate and drank mostly at home; very occasionally, I would go in late afternoon to the (deserted) McDonald’s in Mamoura Beach, a short walk away, for a “Filet-o-fish” or apple pie; they would seat me in a place which could not be seen from the street. McDonalds is a “restaurant” very rarely used by me in the UK, but that suburb had no other cafes.

Good grief.
Many attempts have been made to conquer that region: Alexandrine Greeks under Alexander the Great (4th Century B.C.), the troops of the British Empire (19thC A.D.), the armies of the Soviet Union (1980s), and the armies of the Western alliance (2001-2021). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan#History.
According to my use of Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that works out as leaving the Con Party with about 42 MPs (Labour 518; LibDems 49; SNP 18; Plaid Cymru 3; Greens 2; Northern Irish seats 18).
Were that to happen, the LibDems would be the official Opposition, and the UK would be under what is already looking like being a Labour Party “elected dictatorship” for 5 years at least.

Announcement
Regular readers will please be aware that, despite my trial, conviction, and sentence in respect of alleged breaches of the notorious Communications Act 2003, s.127, this blog will continue to be published.
I shall blog later (probably later today) about the trial (held in November 2023) and sentencing hearing (held 14 March 2024).
The blog will continue to be published, but the style will have to change, inasmuch as my freedom to express views and to explain current and historical events has inevitably been restricted by the trial and sentence.
I am not in fact under any greater legal prohibition now than I was a year ago, but it will be readily understood that my having been convicted does apply somewhat of a chilling effect on my freedom to write what I want, or in such terms as I should prefer.
The “usual suspects”, and their dupes in the police and Crown Prosecution Service, will now be watching and “monitoring” (spying and snooping on) my blog in even greater detail than was previously the case.
They may think that they have scored a narrow victory “on points”, as the sport people say; I say merely that we shall see…
Like Sir Thomas More, I shall express my views and opinions in compliance with current law (however misguided and abused that law may be), so far as I can do so without compromising principle and honour.
Quite apart from that, I think that, in the circumstances of repression and “control” in which we (in the UK and some other countries) live, all social-national people have to look beyond the mere expression of views and the mere analysis of events to actually accomplishing the germinal basis of a different and more advanced society.
[Update, 9 June 2024:I should point out that my sentence, which was called (some days or weeks later) “absurdly lenient” by the malicious and conspiratorial Jew-Zionist group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (which admits to having pushed for 7 years for me to be prosecuted), was made by the learned (and generally quite fair) sentencing judge on the specific recommendation of the Probation Service officer who met me in mid-December 2023 and later drafted a pre-sentence report for the Court. The sentence itself (a “community order” with 15 “rehabilitation days”) exactly followed the recommendation made in that report.]

Talking point
[from the Daily Telegraph]
“A former Nato commander predicts our future โ and it looks terrifying.
Ever since Erskine Childersโs 1903 novel The Riddle of the Sands urged the British government to treat Germany, not France, as the leading threat of the new century, thrillers have often been co-opted as a means of warning policymakers about under-appreciated perils โ with the advantage that such a book may be more likely to keep the reader awake than a dispassionate report.
Three years ago, the novelist and decorated ex-Marine Elliot Ackerman collaborated with former Nato Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis on a political thriller called 2034.
The novel imagines โ or predicts; weโll see โ that in the next decade a complacent America will suddenly find its military technologies outclassed by those of its rivals, and when pulled into a conflict with China in 2034, will resort to tactical nuclear strikes, resulting in the tit-for-tat annihilation of Shanghai and San Diego.
The book ends on the brink of a new world order, with a truce called but the US and China so badly damaged that India and parts of Africa are able to vie with them for superpower status.
Now, Ackerman and Stavridis have dusted down their crystal ball for a sequel: 2054. This time, the threat facing humanity isnโt nuclear destruction, but the event that keeps futurists awake at night, โthe Singularityโ, defined here as โan โintelligence explosionโ, the equivalent of thousands of years of biological evolution crammed into months or even weeks when machine and human learning [will] integrate into a single consciousnessโ.
The Singularity may bring about such advantages as immortality, if youโre happy to have your brain uploaded into a mechanical super-body: useful in a future in which pandemics are commonplace. But itโs going to be bad news for the enemies of whichever nation or corporation wins the race to develop the tech.“
A question which has concerned me since I first read predictions of what seemed to be possible human/robot melding in then-unpublished manuscripts by Rudolf Steiner and Valentin Tomberg.
As far as I know, the relevant Steiner manuscripts, and probably also the Tomberg ones, are still unpublished. I do not know whether they might be in that online archive. Probably not. I read them well over 40 years ago, in a basement, from dusty files containing brittle old typescript.

That is not to say that nothing is happening in the UK, but it is happening under the surface, as in all police states; for that is what the UK is becoming. Not a full police state, as yet; very much (usually) a “velvet glove” (“iron fist in velvet glove”) one.
The direction of travel, though, is pretty clear, looking at what happened during the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic.
Most of the population complied with every last stupid, silly, pointless, made-up-on-a-whim, completely ridiculous “rule” invented by “Boris”-idiot, Little Matt Hancock and the misnamed “SAGE” committee (I always called it “DUMB”, i.e. “Department Under Matt and Boris”): “the Rule of Six”, “social distancing” of 1, 2, or 3 metres, the facemask nonsense etc.
Most people complied with being shepherded about in, or outside, supermarkets by bossy “security” dogsbodies or insolent little shop-girls. How the latter must have hated having had to give up instructing shoppers where to stand and walk, and having had to return to their usual routine of filling shelves and serving customers, rather than barking at them…
Quite a number of members of the public, either from misplaced fear, or from sheer malice, were willing to “report” (denounce, as it was always called in the Soviet Union under Stalin) their neighbours for “crimes” such as taking a ride in the car or on a motorbike, or having a few friends over for a drink at home.
The very compliant ones, and the enthusiastic collaborators, can be written off. Useless people. Our interest, at this stage, is in the non-compliant part of the population. They may still have some fight in them.

“Former head of the Czech intelligence service: Russia is crushing Ukraine, heading for victory.
Russia is systematically destroying the Armed Forces of Ukraine, thanks to its industry and logistics, and the West is unable to oppose it, said the former head of the Czech military intelligence service, General Petr Pelc, in an interview for “Radio Universe”.
“Russia is crushing Ukraine in a slow and systematic way. We all send it money, part of which disappears somewhere, part does not even reach Ukraine, and thus we only prolong the agony and increase the number of dead people,” Peltz believes. – “
Weapons and soldiers win battles, and industry and logistics win wars. That’s all. The question is what we call a military victory. In two years of this armed conflict, Russia increased the productivity of its military-industrial complex 15 times. We are not for that, of course capable ,” he stated.“
As I have always said, short of a palace revolution in Moscow followed by complete anarchy, Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.
My recent trial and sentencing hearing
Background
On 30 November 2023, I was tried under Communications Act 2003, s.127 in respect of 5 counts of having breached the said Act by having allegedly posted 5 pages of this blog.
In fact, only small parts of those 5 pages were alleged to have been “grossly offensive” (a few comments, remarks and cartoons).
To put the accusations into context, today’s blog post is number 1,799; tomorrow’s will be number 1,800. 1,800 blog posts published since November or December 2016.
Even taking the last few years, there have been blog pages posted almost every day, at least 1,000 in the past 3 years. I stood accused of having posted 5 pages, out of which pages about 2% of the content was supposedly “grossly offensive”.
I do not propose to go into the decade of persecution of me engaged in by Jewish Zionists, pro-Israel Jews. Anyone interested in the background can find it on the blog easily enough via the search box. Suffice to say that there has been a decade of false complaints and reports to police, politicians, professional regulators etc.
The organizations persecuting me (and many others, from Al Jazeera TV to David Icke, to Alison Chabloz, to various social-national political figures) have been the Campaign Against Antisemitism [“CAA”] and UK Lawyers for Israel [“UKLFI”]. The memberships or supporter-cadres tend to overlap to a degree.
I was wrongfully and (as it later transpired) unlawfully disbarred in 2016. I was later invited to re-open the matter, but declined, partly because I might have been re-instated at the Bar but fined heavily; in any case, the Bar is now a dustbin as far as I am concerned.
Various malicious and false (based on lies) complaints were made about me to the police from about 2012. All such complaints were from CAA-connected Jewish individuals. Not one was upheld, but I was subjected to two “voluntary” police interviews and a number of insolent telephone calls from police drones.
The last such lying complaint about me was made in 2021 by one Stephen Silverman, who grandly styles himself “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the “CAA”. My account of that can also be found on the blog. That complaint was thrown out by the Crown Prosecution Service [“CPS”] in early 2022, but the “CAA” persisted in trying to get the matter re-opened via the so-called “victim’s right of review”.
In a clear misuse of their powers, the CPS, having informed me that I would not be prosecuted for the (completely untrue) “racially-aggravated harassment” of Silverman (for which there was no evidence whatsoever), dropped that potential charge, but then (a year later) charged me of having posted 5 “grossly offensive” pages from this blog. Though never arrested, I was charged by post early last year, 2023.
The “CAA” are still tweeting and scribbling on their website that they have pursued me for 7 years (in reality, longer), and that my “case” was only brought to court after “Lord” Ian Austin (former Labour MP) wrote directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions to demand that I be prosecuted.
The prosecution of me was purely political.

The trial, and later sentencing hearing
The trial took place over one day in November 2023. It was presided over by District Judge [stipendiary magistrate, in the formerly-used title] Greenfield at Southampton Magistrates’ Court. I represented myself.
The old saw has it that “a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client“. Very true words, but I had reasons for doing so. Firstly, I have not been, nominally, a barrister for many years, and not a practising barrister for about 16 years.
I have not been involved in criminal law (except some corporate “crime” and international extradition matters) for even longer, since the early/mid 1990s. I was therefore treated more loosely by the Court, as being a non-lawyer. Also, I have little but contempt for the spineless Bar of today, and would not wish to be represented by one of them, even though in some respects I might have been better off having an advocate who was current on the law and practice of the criminal courts. I undoubtedly made mistakes in my Court presentation etc.
I found the judge to be generally courteous, eminently fair in most respects, and willing to put the rather poor police and CPS case to the test where he felt that it was particularly weak.
The judge was, however, unwilling to listen to argument about why I had even been charged, i.e. the obvious (and now admitted) political pressure brought to bear on the CPS, which had caved in to pressure from the Jewish/Zionist lobby (as the “CAA” itself admits on its website and Twitter/X account).
The judge (fairly enough, in a sense) made the point that I could go to the High Court on a judicial review application, work that I once did as Counsel, about 30 years ago. That would have had the effect of automatically staying the criminal prosecution, possibly for a year or more. Yes, in theory, but someone on his own, without money? Difficult.
Silverman from the “CAA” was in Court, but he was not a witness, and gave no evidence; just sat at the back of the Court. Afraid of being cross-examined, no doubt, and as I had pointed out in preliminary documentation.
I have no idea why the police never charged Silverman with, at very least, wasting police time over his demonstrably false accusation that I had “racially and/or religiously harassed” him in 2021, which brought two police drones to my door (on my birthday, at that) and effectively compelled me to attend two “voluntary” interviews (the first called off for technical reasons when I had already attended).
In my view, Silverman could have been charged with perversion of the course of justice: “Perverting the course of justice and witness intimidation are serious offences that undermine the administration of justice by falsely accusing people or withholding crucial evidence thus potentially damaging police investigations and wasting courts’ time” [Sentencing Council].
As in other aspects of this case, there are serious questions to be answered around the role of Silverman and the “CAA”, and his/their apparent influence over the police and CPS, but as matters stand they remain unanswered and may remain unanswered.
Reverting to the trial itself, I had been intending to make a submission at “half-time” (after close of the Prosecution case) of “no case to answer”, and on at least two grounds, but the judge (very fairly) pre-empted that (because I was treated as a non-lawyer and unrepresented by a practising advocate), and did it for me, in effect, by grilling Prosecution Counsel (instructed by the CPS) for a bit, before retiring to consider the matter over the lunchtime adjournment.
Sadly for me, the judge decided that the case could continue (I think that it was touch-and-go), so it did. I should not have bothered to give evidence but did (a mistake; I was very tired), and was briefly though not much cross-examined.
The judge gave a fairly brief summing-up and, in my now almost-lay opinion, said one or two things that seemed to me to provide possible appeal points, before convicting me on all 5 counts. A short discussion about potential sentence level then occurred between judge and Prosecution Counsel, and I had to get up and politely insist that I thought that another view was possible about level of sentence; and that was that. Adjourned for 3 months.
The matter reconvened in early 2024 and was adjourned after the Prosecution applied to ask for a Criminal Behaviour Order restricting my blogging slightly.
The sentencing hearing took place on 14 March 2024. The sentencing judge (District Judge/magistrate), District Judge Callaway (a former Deputy Chief Metropolitan Magistrate) presided, District Judge Greenfield having in the intervening period been gazetted and appointed to the Circuit Bench as His Honour Judge Greenfield (now sitting at Reading County Court).
I have to say that I found the sentencing judge, D.J. Callaway, to be as generally fair and courteous as had been the trial judge, D.J. Greenfield.
I had drafted in advance a Defendant’s Argument on Sentence, examining the relevant law as well as my own circumstances, which the sentencing judge was kind enough to say “was very well put together“, if I recall his words correctly. Maybe I still have the remnants of the barristerial skills that (if I may immodestly remember) led some (though not all!) judges to commend me in Court all those years ago. A different world…
The cutbacks in court funding led to one farcical situation when it transpired that the sentencing judge had not seen the long email (about various other matters), and which I had emailed about 10 days in advance of the hearing, requesting that it be printed out and supplied to the judge.
Not only that, the very efficient Clerk of the Court was unable to find the email at all. Fortunately, Prosecution Counsel, not present in person but appearing like a disembodied spirit via video link (something I had never seen before), and on a small TV high up on a side wall, was able to forward the email (which I had copied to the CPS as a courtesy).
The Prosecution’s application for a Criminal Behaviour Order against me re. my blogging was refused, the judge agreeing, in effect, with me that the proposed Order had been so badly-drafted that it would be impossible to enforce and anyway added nothing useful.
The CPS really are a bunch of clowns; not even honest clowns, looking at the way I have been treated over the past two and a half years.
My submission on sentence, that it should be a conditional discharge, or small fine, was not upheld by the judge. Prosecution Counsel, who on the previous occasion had intimated that the CPS were looking for an uplift on sentence based on the idea that my case was a “hate crime”, despite there being no actual victim (accepted by the trial judge and the CPS at and prior to trial), agreed with the sentencing judge that a “lower level community order” would be the correct penalty.
I was sentenced to a “community order” (akin to the “probation” of former years), which involves 15 meetings with the Probation Service, spread over 9 months, so about one meeting every 2-3 weeks.
In addition, I am to pay a total of nearly ยฃ800 in costs, including a notional “surcharge”. Money that I do not have right now.
Crowdfunder
In relation to the above-mentioned costs, I have just set up a crowdfunder. If anyone can help, either with a money donation, or via sharing the crowdfunder link on social media or elsewhere, I should be most grateful.
I shall blog about the (slightly amusing) aftermath of the trial and sentence tomorrow.
[Update, 9 June 2024:I should point out that my sentence, which was called (some days or weeks later) โabsurdly lenientโ by the malicious and conspiratorial Jew-Zionist group, โCampaign Against Antisemitismโ (which admits to having pushed for 7 years for me to be prosecuted), was made by the learned (and generally quite fair) sentencing judge on the specific recommendation of the Probation Service officer who met me in mid-December 2023 and later drafted a pre-sentence report for the Court. The sentence itself (a โcommunity orderโ with 15 โrehabilitation daysโ) exactly followed the recommendation made in that report.]
[Update, 13 September 2024: As of yesterday, I do not have to attend any further meetings with the Probation Service, despite not having actually attended very many: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/09/13/diary-blog-13-september-2024/. My sentence is therefore effectively at an end. โThe usual suspectsโ ((( ))) will be fuming].

On this day in 1938, Austria became part of the German Reich, the forces of the Wehrmacht having crossed the border unopposed on the previous day, welcomed enthusiastically by crowds of Austrian people passed en route:
“On the morning of 12 March 1938, the 8th Army of the German Wehrmacht crossed the border into Austria. The troops were greeted by cheering Austrians with Nazi salutes, Nazi flags, and flowers.[57]
For the Wehrmacht, the invasion was the first big test of its machinery. Although the invading forces were badly organized and coordination among the units was poor, it mattered little because the Austrian government had ordered the Austrian Bundesheer not to resist.[58]
That afternoon, Hitler, riding in a car, crossed the border at his birthplace, Braunau am Inn, with a 4,000 man bodyguard.[53] In the evening, he arrived at Linz and was given an enthusiastic welcome.
The enthusiasm displayed toward Hitler and the Germans surprised both Nazis and non-Nazis, as most people had believed that a majority of Austrians opposed Anschluss.[59][60]
Many Germans from both Austria and Germany welcomed the Anschluss as they saw it as completing the complex and long overdue unification of all Germans into one state.”
[Wikipedia]
“Most people...” in the UK etc were no doubt being informed, or misinformed, by newspapers owned by or influenced by “the usual suspects” (the “you-know-who”…). The enthusiasm of Austrians for Anschluss was therefore a shock to them.
Their crowdfunder [https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia] has now reached ยฃ60,532. The minimum level of donation is a mere ยฃ4. Help these people and their cause.

I myself do not, at least as yet, have any crowdfunder, but am due to be sentenced this week (for allegedly having written unwelcome truths on this blog).

“Russia responded to unprecedented Western sanctions with an โindecent gestureโ – CBC.
In early February, Vladimir Putin joked that he wanted to show a โwell-known gestureโ to the sanctions-imposing West, but would not do so because there were โmany girls in the room.โ
Instead, the Russian president boasted about the country’s economy and its ability to expand its military-industrial complex in the face of unprecedented sanctions, writes CBC journalist Briar Stewart.
Indeed, over the past two years, the Russian government has managed to circumvent sanctions and limit inflation while investing nearly a third of its budget in defense spending. He also managed to increase trade with China and sell his oil to new markets, in part by using a shadow fleet of tankers to get around a price cap that Western countries hoped would reduce the country’s military budget.
In 2022, Western countries froze Russia’s sovereign assets worth $300 billion. Then more than 16 thousand sanctions were introduced. European airspace was closed to Russian aircraft, and hundreds of Western companies left Russia or curtailed their activities.
But today there are the latest iPhones and MacBooks on Russian shelves because government and business have largely been able to adapt. Russia has relied on Asia, and especially China, as its main economic lifeline. Russia’s ability to produce weapons and use its oil money to finance them is a pressing issue for Ukraine, which is struggling with arms and ammunition shortages, and for its allies.
โHowever, there are no simple steps left to tighten the sanctions regime. It’s a game of cat and mouse. Any delays in making decisions on additional sanctions give Russia the opportunity to adjust its policies and its economy,โ the article says.”

That is the level on which much of the police force seems to be, now. Incapable of doing their proper and authorized job(s), and wasting enormous time and money behaving like a poundland KGB or Stasi, spying on tweets and blogs, and “monitoring” what the British people say about the migration invasion, about corrupt and/or useless MPs, and about those “special interest groups” and cabals which hide in the shadows, controlling or influencing events to our detriment.

“Senator Ron Johnson: “I think it’s time for politicians in Washington to face reality.
Chuck Schumer came out of a meeting at the White House and said, ‘It’s simple, $60 billion and Ukraine will win. If you don’t give them $60 billion, they’ll lose.'”
How they plan. We’re now in a two-year bloody stalemate, and I think you really need to start asking yourself, is it worth spending another $60 billion to fan the flames of the bloody stalemate? Because every day more and more Ukrainians die, more and more Russian conscripts, more and more Ukraine is destroyed. If you care about the Ukrainian people, you should worry about this too.
We don’t have a winning strategy. The administration does not lay it out. If we are going to support Ukraine, it must be done in a way that forces Putin to come to the negotiating table and end this war. I don’t hear it at all. I hear that President Biden hasn’t even talked to Russia on this issue. And I would be very interested to know what happened in Istanbul shortly after the war began, when Boris Johnson, essentially halfway through the Biden administration, torpedoed the peace agreement.
So we really need to do a complete re-evaluation of this issue. And we should secure our own border before sending $60 billion down the rat hole to secure other countries.”
Quite. In fact, you could give the Zelensky regime USD $60BN or $600BN, and it would make no difference. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) cannot “win”, even to the extent of “taking back” Crimea, Donetsk, and Lugansk, let alone anything more ambitious.
The present Ukraine is a failed state, and in fact a fake state.

“Russian troops advance even though Zelensky says Moscow’s forces are ‘stopped’ – Newsweek.
โRussiaโs offensive has been stopped,โ Zelensky told French broadcaster BFM TV on Monday. โOur command, our military stopped Russiaโs offensive in eastern Ukraine.โ
But Western analysts say Russian troops continue to advance in the Zaporozhye, Donetsk, Kharkov and Luhansk regions. โRussian troops recently achieved confirmed successes in the areas of Bakhmut, Avdeevka and Donetsk amid ongoing positional battles along the entire line of contact on March 12,โ Newsweek quotes analysts.
In the Kupyansky direction there is progress in the area of โโโโthe village of Sinkovka. In the south, Russian troops are regaining positions lost during the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the summer of 2023. Fierce fighting broke out around such settlements as Robotino, Urozhainoye and Staromayorskoye.
To repel the Russian onslaught, Kyiv has mobilized some of its best units, equipped with American-made armored vehicles and tanks, Newsweek notes.“

"Britain issued nearly 280,000 visas to dependents of workers –80% up on 2022 and 403% higher than when Boris Johnson & the Tories came to power in 2019"https://t.co/3HlwWpqTvb
So you import, say, an Indian who can work a computer (“high-skilled worker”), or an NHS hospital cleaner or nursing assistant from Africa (“key worker”), and then they all come— husbands, wives, “fiances” or “fiancees”, children (of any age), “wider family members” etc, few of which will contribute anything, and all of whom will need to use UK services— NHS, roads, rail, schools, you name it.
More important yet is the effect on UK demographics. In 1956, when I was born, 99% of the UK population was white, almost all Northern European. By 1989, that 99% had become about 95%, and now stands around 80% but dropping rapidly.
Present projections say that white people (“the people formerly known as British”) will be a minority in the UK by 2066, if indeed the UK as such still exists by then. I think that 2040 is a more likely date.

This week, I myself face my sentencing hearing for supposed political “crimes” under Communications Act 2003, s.127. Free speech is now all but dead in the UK.
I'm sure the memes that triggered this "sentence" weren't about Muslims or blacks….maybe about the very influential 1% ethnic group ?
Yes, the same 1% Sam Melia offended. We can see this is working towards the jail sentences they want made law here for antisemitism/anti zionism to silence us and enslave us to their demands. No more protests, free speech will be hate speech, either we stand up or we bow to them.
