7 men, inc 2 men who had previously been charged, will now face no further action as part of the investigation into the maritime security incident on board the Nave Andromeda off the #IsleOfWight in Oct. Read more: https://t.co/D9Hjn5IAbKpic.twitter.com/lzLQOLfCio
So 7 African migrant-invaders and stowaways, who threatened the captain and crew of a vessel in British territorial waters, necessitating a full-scale Special Boat Service operation (including “hot-roping” to the deck from helicopters overhead), will “face no further action”?
In other words, they have got away with it. The criminals are now in the UK, housed at public expense, fed at public expense, and paid pocket money out of public funds. Their first action now will be to get on their mobile phones and tell their friends and family to come and leech off us here. In fact, they probably already did that.
People like tweeter “HackerNuke” are ubiquitous on UK Twitter too. People who think that a good criticism of the Daily Mail is to say, “hey, you supported Mosley in the 1930s!“, which for one thing is not fully accurate (the Daily Mail support for Mosley lasted only from 1931 to 1934: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_Mosley#Fascism).
In any case, Mosley was far more right than wrong in the 1930s.
Apart from which, that was, after all, 80-90 years ago. Today, the Daily Mail is very different, and pervaded by Jewish influence (google “Ian Millard barrister Daily Mail” and you will see how they tried to pillory me in 2016).
Similarly, you see people who call Tesco or Marks & Spencer “Jewish” companies, which may have been true once, but is no longer the case, and has not been so for decades. Institutional and other very large investors are now in the driving seat; those companies are no more “Jewish”, or Jewish-influenced, than much of the present UK economic sphere.
Betty Redondo, a BBC drone. Typical. That utter me-too political fool, Keir Starmer, also jumped on to the “clap” bandwagon a couple of days ago. Just before its wheels fell off! Ha ha! It just shows, again, how totally out of touch both the msm and Westminster milieux really are.
As I said yesterday, no-one where I live was clapping or banging pots and pans, thank God. That seems to have been the case all over, in fact.
Which they most certainly did last night. Not one person on our street was outside clapping at the altar of the NHS
Exactly. Annemarie Plas, whoever the hell she is, has had her 15 minutes of fame, but wanted to make some kind of career out of it all, as I blogged yesterday. She saw one-trick pony, Caroline Criado-Perez, make a kind of career out of similar “activism” (book deals, an OBE, paid speaking engagements etc), and thought to emulate her. She even tried to get a Christmas bell-ringing thing going on the same basis as the horrible clapping.
For me, the most horrible aesthetics of the UK panicdemic nonsense are or were, firstly, the facemask nonsense; after that, the mass clapping nonsense.
The fundamental problem is the country is not united. We have a number of folk working from cosy home offices whilst the rest rot with no income, no viable business or means to pay mortgage
So…whilst we're talking of trolls, lose the fairytale view of life and open your eyes.
Exactly. Its virtue signalling, little more. A lot of the negative response came from NHS and healthcare workers. They made their feelings clear the last time so why try and resurrect it? I don't think calling our NHS staff trolls is appropriate or helpful either tbh
Wasn’t just the day after Callum, it was also on the night, every Thursday night that went on in peoples gardens for hours on end. Tokenism that’s all it was.

@ClarkeMicah@emmakennytv Derbyshire Police said in a statement: "Driving to a location … is clearly not in the spirit of the national effort to reduce our travel, reduce the possible spread of the disease and reduce the number of deaths."https://t.co/MWLv36KTUK
Unsurprising, though infuriating. Derbyshire Police really have put the plod in policing. Look at the way in which they allowed themselves to be used by the Jewish lobby in the persecution of Alison Chabloz. That’s before you even get to their behaviour in behaving like a poundland KGB during the first “lockdown” craziness in 2020.
As to those women, they need to appeal those tickets tout de suite, while some semblance of justice still exists in the UK. They have obviously not been in breach of the law (the law, that is, not the wishes of Little Matt Hancock, or the arbitary decisions of the local police superintendent).
He was well-spoken and mostly polite, but his words were completely baseless and dangerous. I do not know how anyone could downplay the severity of the virus after hearing what he had just heard.
Conor Gogarty is the Chief Reporter for the Bristol Post. It is no longer surprising that someone in such a job can call words “dangerous“. Police State UK, 2021…
I guess there are probably parallels between Covid-deniers’ blind refusal to accept reality and what we saw at the Capitol yesterday. I think social media is having a toxic impact on our world in so many ways
Conor Gogarty, Chief Reporter for a provincial newspaper, would much prefer the people to get their news from “trustworthy” and “accurate” outlets, such as the Press and breakfast television. Oh, no, wait…
Read that thread. Read some of the comments by the Twitterati-twits, wishing death, illness, humiliation, imprisonment on that defendant.
What had that bad criminal done? Oh, he had attended a demonstration against “lockdown”, so of course had to be dragged to a court before a “judge” (district judge, i.e. magistrate), lectured by that purse-lipped woman (who seems to think that she is a female Judge Jeffreys), then fined £1,500. All for having tried to exercise normal civil rights in the midst of a bout of public hysteria whipped up by government and the mass media.
Not sure if you read it properly but he wasn’t fined for protesting, he was fined for breaking lockdown rules.
Smug typical Twitterati-twit “@nickbates67”, patronizingly misunderstanding. Wilfully misunderstanding. The defendant was fined for having opposed the “panicdemic” measures, in effect.
Very true. A shout put for Gab and PurgedTV as well. Great shame that #DonaldJTrump didn't get on the #freespeech platforms while he had a voice.

Please stand firm against the nasty McCarthyite wave of spite, abuse and plain lies now being directed against dissent. Even if you utterly disagree with me and other sceptics (which is a legitimate and well-intentioned position)these Red Guards threaten us all in the end.
Another Red Guard McCarthyite. I do not 'deny' covid. The claim is false and absurd. It is used as a dogwhistle to plant in the minds of the reader a non-existent parallel with Holocaust Denial. Despicable. Areal threat to reason and law. https://t.co/78v5q4vf4c
Hitchens is up the creek here. There is more evidence for “Covid-19”, even in the extreme nonsense form, than there is for (non-existent) “gas chambers” in WW2!
Even holocaust denial more often than not isn't a denial of the holocaust, rather questioning certain aspects of the holocaust that have become taboo to question because of strictly political reasons.
McCarthyism reborn. The left rightly hated it when it was done to them. But the only thing some of them ( example here) learned was how to do it themselves. This repellent Red Guard stuff is multiplying at the moment. https://t.co/WZx2yiJMwi
In fact, though he was certainly not a very “nice person”, Senator Joseph McCarthy was largely correct. There was a Communist conspiracy in places such as Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s, and most of the conspirators were Jews.
Prayer for the Day, the Three Wise Men, and James Mason
Prayer for the Day, Radio 4’s ludicrous and platitudinous “god slot”, broadcast daily at about 0540, once again hits comedy gold. Chris-Someone, with a possibly Indian surname that I could not catch, tells the assembled listeners (though quite subtly, not expressly) that the so-called “Three Kings” or “Three Wise Men” of Biblical legend (mentioned in the Gospel of St. Matthew) were equivalent to the present wave of “refugees” (migrant-invaders), i.e. people who deserve or at least should be proffered our hospitality.
Leaving aside the politically-correct 2021 gloss, the “Three Wise Men” have proven to be a puzzle to historians as well as theologians. Wikipedia has this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Magi.
[Update, 8 January 2022: please refer to the comments section below for identities of two of the figures].
The main SS figure in the painting looks rather like James Mason [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Mason]. Was that deliberate? Mason’s political views seem to have been obscure. There are a few faint indications, though. He was a conscientious objector during WW2, and the basis for that is (as far as I know) unknown. There is no known religious reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Mason#Second_World_War.
In fact, Hitler did tolerate persons in high positions who were at least ambiguous in their views, so long as not proven to be actual traitors. Canaris was another example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Canaris.
Like Hitler, James Mason the actor was very interested in architecture, having been awarded a First in Architecture from Peterhouse, Cambridge, at a time when a First was worth something.
Reverting to the Three Wise Men, it has been said that they were the representatives on Earth of the three main types of practical occultism (Hygienic, Eugenic, and Mechanical). Valentin Tomberg [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentin_Tomberg] made that claim in his Anthroposophical Studies of the New Testament and other works.
@andrewschramm The issue is not ‘proving that lockdowns don’t work’.As in all such arguments, it’s the duty of the one proposing the action(in this case strangling civil society & the economy, crippling the NHS, wrecking education,putting thousands out of work) to show they *do*. https://t.co/KvoD8GwmhF
People talk here, stupidly, of the American "Deep State" and yet the CIA's leadership is so stupid it traded its historic symbol for some management consultant's idea of what an insolvent architecture firm would use for a doorplate and mousepad. Utter Muppetry. https://t.co/7m3ZJHTw3o
In less than a year, our government has dictated 1) when we can leave our homes; 2) if we can work; 3) what we can buy; 4) what we have to wear in public; and 5) who we can see in private. All from the initial ‘ask’ of a two-week lockdown to “flatten the curve”. Let that sink in.

Interesting. I have blogged previously about the situation historically in the Soviet Union, where from 1936-1989 private plots (from tiny strips of garden to about 2 acres at maximum in some oblasts and republics, particularly in Georgia) produced at least 40% of all fruit and vegetable production despite being less than 4% of the country’s productive land area.

Quince fruit is naturally very rich in pectins, which is a must if you want to make long lasting marmalades, jams, preserves, jellies, etc. Growing lots of fruits without being able to preserve them wasn't optimal, so every kitchen garden had a quince until lemons became common. pic.twitter.com/O12uEngnb3
The idea is to leave the fruit to fall to the ground by themselves, when they are ready, so you just let the tree grow as tall as it pleases, the fruits will come down with a big plonk just in time for when you need it to make jam out of all the other fruits you have harvested. pic.twitter.com/h12w8Eva6V
But here is why you should plant one and why every city where you can not grow lemons naturally, should have at least 10-25% of its fruit stock in quince: should the hard times ever come, should global shipping fail, should the industrial lemon orchards be wiped out by disease…
It you live in New York I recommend going to see the quinces at the Cloisters Museum. There's four of them in the main garden. Medieval architecture too, and it is outdoors or old fashioned natural ventilation so you won't catch anything (other than UV and vitamin-D). pic.twitter.com/JfwE3wZz6P

Replies don't matter @sarakeelcube . Most of these boobies can't reason. What matters is – how many people write. Because all MPs can count….votes. https://t.co/sPs4L9hnP2
What Peter Hitchens forgets is that most MPs are in what even now are “safe seats”. Yes, if such MPs were each to get 5,000 or 10,000 letters from actual constituents all demanding an end to the “panic” measures of the “panicdemic”, they might sit up and take notice. As it is, even after Hitchens’ best efforts, they will each get a few hundred at most, which will not affect them in the slightest.
Naturally, as a constitutional purist, Hitchens wants to believe in a peaceful and reasoned transition to or return to actual “democracy”, but that is pie in the sky in a situation where corporatized msm propaganda is easily manipulating (mainly) uneducated, cultureless and unthinking rabbit-plebs.
Ah…seems that Hitchens agrees with me, at least in part:

Yes. Naturally, people think that it stands to reason that if human interactions are reduced, as in “lockdown”, virus transmission must also be reduced. However, if people are confined together in small houses and flats, as many British people are, that alone may increase transmission, in view of the fact that outside contacts cannot be reduced to zero.

God, how sad. A 150-year-old tree, with its neighbours, it seems, felled so that more hutches for immigrants can be built. I have never seen that particular tree, but feel sad when any tree is felled or cut back, even if for better reasons, such as coppicing. As Chekhov wrote (not sure where, offhand, not I think in The Cherry Orchard, maybe in Uncle Vanya), “there are men to whom a tree is sacred“. It may even have been in Gorky’s book Literary Portraits, where Chekhov is quoted several times, Gorky having been well-acquainted with Chekhov.
Trees, even when few in number in an area, even when solitary, add so much to human perception, to the whole feel of an area, or a street, or even an individual house and garden.
This is no longer just “infringement of civil liberty” but straight tyranny, and if the police act as the goons of the tyrants, then they themselves deserve to be treated as tyrants or goons thereof.
“Wonderful” might be going too far, but still generally better than today. Amazing to see how empty of traffic was London Wall in 1966.
I recall going to London one Saturday in 1970, I believe, with a friend from school. We wandered in, out of curiosity, to a small gallery in Jermyn Street. The door to the street was open. The day was hot. We were just admiring some Old Master painting when the (?) young owner came in. A very relaxed Old Etonian type. Instead of clearing us out, he was very friendly and polite, and told us a little about the painting, before we left to explore further. London had more character then, and was still overwhelmingly an English city.
Oh, no! (see below)…
Clap for Carers looks set to return this Thursday at 8pm, under a new namehttps://t.co/CUqdlH9MHW
Not that utter shite again! This is an Orwellian fake communitarian North Korea-lite cringe-fest and virtue-signal Twitter-fest. The public services clapping themselves, just at the time when they offer the British people less than they have done for a century. That, and scared rabbits in muzzles, clapping because they feel socially-pressured to do so.
The whole thing is a disgrace; absolutely stupid.
Instead of #clapforheroes can I propose a weekly Two Minute Hate where we can all go outside our front door and scream obscenities? Genuinely feel like it would be much more therapeutic for everyone right now.
I'm sorry but #clapforheroes just lets the government (and a weak opposition) off the hook again. Applause doesn't pay the bills or keep workers and others safe.

Can we just boycott this clapping nonsense. What we need is pay rise for all the key workers#clapforheroes#clapforcarers
Made mistake of doing it last time before I realised what was going on , wont be fooled again , lives are being destroyed through lockdown , those people are the real heroes
Agreed. The ‘key workers’ are the lucky ones. Full pay whereas thousands are struggling to make ends meet through no fault of their own. Let’s keep THAT perspective.
No, as a carer, I’m telling you we don’t want it. It would mean more if everyone made an effort to hold the government to account for their ineptitude.
Not in Warrington, they had pipers & singers outside which then made the general public wander over every week for their chance to get there picture in the paper. They were organised by hospital management who all week wanted you to stay in. Bonkers.
I sincerely hope that everyone will boycott this stupid System “clapathon” (again).
As for “@AnnemariePlas”, I think that that was the idiotic woman who started the first “clapathon”. Danish, I think. Ah…just looked her up on Google. Dutch.
Despite her Twitter and Facebook (etc) activism, despite her “clapathon” nonsense, only 730 Twitter “followers”. Even I had 3,000 by the time the Jews had me expelled, and were I still on Twitter now, 2-3 years later, that would probably have been 6,000 or more.
Nonsense people such as Caroline Criado-Perez are bad enough. Here’s another one trying to make a career out of pointless “activism”, and on a risibly poor level.
I see now that Annemarie Plas tried to get a Christmas bell-ringing thing going too:
Amazing scenes. What strikes me is that at least some Americans have begun to think out of the box. It may well be that, according to the antiquated system of voting etc, Trump lost. I don’t take a lot of interest in Trump anyway. What interests me is that at least some Americans have thrown out the whole concept of “well, we got 49% and the [other] unwashed got 51%, so they win, and winner takes all.“
In the UK, we see that the majority of the voters are either scared stupid manipulated rabbits, or non-Europeans of various kinds. So what if that “majority” gets a majority of seats in “Parliament”, a result of a manipulated, unfair, ridiculous voting, electoral, and overall political system? Screw that!
Typical covid doom porn headline. But it took me 45 seconds searching to find that in 2019 40% of excess deaths in England & Wales were due to respiratory disease. Mainly flu & pneumonia – both of which are often now recorded as covid.#lyingpresshttps://t.co/d6DFaffRSp

To all those journalists who did not have the courage to speak up for Julian Assange when he was alone and threatened with life in a US dungeon – how does it feel to be out-libertied by an Old Bailey Judge? A pitiful performance (one of many) by our trade.
This is President Trump’s chance —while he still is President— to cut through the tangle by granting Assange pardon.
As to Hitchens’ comment about journalists, how true. There are few real journalists around, these days. The journalistic trade (and Hitchens is right to term it a trade, and not a “profession”, as often seen) has become just a politically-correct, virtue-signalling bunch of “me-too” serfs.
The Bar, despite being traditionally a profession, and not a mere trade, is no better now.
The same has been true in the Alison Chabloz case. Few if any “journalists” (or lawyers) stood up for her right to sing satirical songs.
[Alison Chabloz]
The old saying (Voltaire?) that “I hate what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it” is met, in today’s UK, with incomprehension, closely followed by hostility. Look at the (mostly) virtue-signalling (mostly) idiots on Twitter. Typical in that way.

Saw a few minutes, on TV, of the “celebrations” by the Thames at London last night. Pure dystopian propaganda, carried out in and over an equally dystopian London, dark and deserted.
Technically, and as a spectacle, the display could not be faulted. Brilliant. What disturbed me was the content; that, and the surrounding situation.
This was not the Britain I recognize (except in fear), but a caricature; “Danny Boyle Britain”, if you like (thinking of the opening show of the 2012 London Olympics). There was the by now almost obligatory laudatory reference to the NHS. I fully support a health service free at point of use, but the NHS has become a kind of quasi-religious totem or sacred cow in the UK. You would think that nowhere else in Europe or the world has health or medical services (and that the NHS is being run properly).
Then there were other references, together with meaningless Orwellian slogans flashed into the sky: “Hope Together“, they said, “Love Together“, they said. It did not take much of a leap of imagination to see an isolated and lonely Winston Smith on the dark, almost freezing Embankment, looking upon this spectacle for the masses where the masses were absent. Or perhaps Volodin, in Solzhenitsyn’s In the First Circle [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_First_Circle].

2/3 @saffiyah_khan Govts of both major parties chose long ago to reduce capacity in the NHS, knowing that this would lead to frequent winter crises, as it has done for decades. If a room is too small for its purpose, the real blame lies with those who designed and built it. https://t.co/YULx9vgXMa

I myself do not eat meat, but were I living on Britain’s streets (and, like Hitler, I came close, a couple of times in my life), and if then I were offered food unacceptable to me, while I would not eat it (I should prefer to scavenge or steal food more acceptable to me), I should all the same be grateful that someone was interested enough to make the offer…
Incidentally, while I am not a member of, or supporter of (as such), Patriotic Alternative, and in fact have never met nor had any online contact with it, nor with any people who are in it, I do commend in outline that which they seem to be doing.
Funny but, speaking politically, with a serious edge. This might be the way to go for social nationalism in the future. “From out of the fog, we strike…“.
That sort of thing has happened before in the USA and, though rarely proven, in the UK, France and Germany; Jewish fanatics trying to prove “neo-Nazi” “antisemitism” by faking attacks on Jewish sites such as synagogues and cemeteries. It always seemed bizarre to me. Would “neo-Nazis” really waste time attacking Jews who were already dead? In fact, several Jews, over the years, have been arrested and eventually convicted for similar “false flag” attacks.
I notice that even UK Government official websites (eg NHS) now have stylized cartoons showing the sort of family propagandized on UK TV ads etc, i.e. the black man with the white woman and their half-caste offspring. The Great Replacement. White Genocide, in effect.
Below, an example of the absurdity of Twitter: “Dr.” Louise Raw (whose doctorate is not medical but was the result of study of an industrial dispute of 1888), argues with another tweeter.
Sorry, I’ve had enough of people with no expertise spreading dangerous misinformation.
MANY illnesses require more than one vaccine dose- we need FIVE of the polio, tetanus, & diphtheria vaccines throughout childhood.
I notice that quite a few people have retweeted or “liked” Louise Raw’s tweet.
Leaving aside the substance of what she tweeted, I wonder how many of those retweeters etc assumed that Ms. Raw is a medical doctor?
As I have said before, in the UK it has always been the norm or “done thing” that persons with a medical degree are called “doctor”. In fact, many medics have no “doctorate”, as such; it is a courtesy title in many cases.
Others who, in the UK, have always been able to use the title “Dr.” without eyebrows being raised, have been priests and others in holy orders, tenured academics and schoolmasters, and scientists.
In other countries, notably Germany, it has always been acceptable for anyone, pretty much, who has a doctorate in anything, to use the title. One example was Dr. Goebbels: “At the University of Heidelberg, Goebbels wrote his doctoral thesis on Wilhelm von Schütz, a minor 19th-century romantic dramatist.[20]… After submitting the thesis and passing his oral examination, Goebbels earned his PhD in 1921.[21] By 1940, he had written 14 books.[22] “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels].
It may seem, perhaps in view of the German praxis, pedantic to complain that an obscure Twitter person, who is not a public figure, calls herself “Doctor” on an everyday basis (and she is now not alone; there are even several MPs doing this, Julian Lewis and Therese Coffey among them). However, I think that we now have to stand up for standards. “Doctor” should not be devalued; “Professor” already has been, along with “Lord” and “Baroness”…
Now that I am supposedly 64, that tweet resonates with me! Incidentally, should any (younger?) readers of my blog not get the “Logan’s Run” reference, see below:

Such twaddle @incytometry. The sample was huge(4862). Its leaders had hoped to show masks protected against infection. But it completely failed to do so, which means nobody has shown any such effect.

Just heard a story from someone; secondhand but thought reliable.
A lady in her nineties, in hospital for various matters, has apparently just been tested for “the virus” in hospital (where she had already been staying for about a month), and the test was positive.
The said person has no symptoms of “the virus” at all, but has now been put into an even more isolated ward than the one in which she had stayed for weeks. All the nurses and doctors, and I think the patients, wear masks pretty much constantly. I presume that hands are washed frequently.
The above seems to establish, at least on the balance of probabilities, that facemasks are pretty much irrelevant in terms of protection from “the virus”. Also, that the best way to get this virus is to be admitted to an NHS hospital…
Incidentally, I happened to see the comment below somewhere:
I have no idea whether that is arrant nonsense or not. It would seem to fit in with the “Great Reset”, though.

Interesting msm report from Germany
“In 2008, just as Lehman Brothers imploded and the world descended into the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, Franco A. joined the army. He was 19.
In no time, he was selected as one of only a handful of German officer cadets to attend the prestigious Saint-Cyr military academy in France, founded in 1802 by Napoleon.
His five years abroad included semesters at Sciences Po in Paris and King’s College London as well as at Sandhurst, one of the British Army’s premier officer training schools, and a summer session at the University of Cambridge.
In 2013, he wrote a master’s thesis, “Political Change and Strategy of Subversion.”
Over 169 pages, Franco A. argued that the downfall of great civilizations had always been immigration and the dilution of racial purity brought about by subversive minorities. Europe and the West were next in line if they did not defend themselves, he said.
Ethnically diverse societies were unstable, he wrote, and nations that allow migration were committing a form of “genocide.”
His final section posits that the Old Testament was the foundation of all subversion, a blueprint for Jews to gain global dominance. It might be, he said, “the biggest conspiracy in the history of humanity.”
Franco A. himself began stockpiling a “prepper” cellar with food rations and other supplies. He also began obtaining guns and ammunition illegally, prosecutors say.” [New York Times]

Exactly. Look at the story at the head of today’s blog: an old lady, aged somewhere around 94 years old, now a statistic— a “new Covid-19 case”, because she has tested positive after a routine hospital check. In reality, that old lady has no symptoms at all, though she has lived, I am told, with several other serious medical conditions, and for some years.
That person is now part of the panicdemic narrative and will probably show up very soon in the official statistics, as part of the “second wave”, but what has changed, in reality? Nothing.
Pretty poor, as with previous alumni matches this Christmas. I did far better than either team. Amazing how ignorant many of these “respected commentators”, TV journalists, novelists etc, are.
Or maybe, lockdown and stupid tier restrictions don't bloody work. Repeat the same exercise get the same result. Virus is gonna virus like they have for thousands of years. And yet humanity still exists.

It is very strange that all or virtually all the Twitter accounts of Jews, that I have seen, are very much pro-“lockdown”, the facemask nonsense etc, just as they are for censorship, and the prohibition of “unapproved” opinion. I do not know why that should be, unless it is something ingrained…

Went to Waitrose. Slightly busier than usual in the evenings. Still a black-clad and mask-wearing Handmaid’s Tale militiaman stationed by the entrance, presumably to deter non-wearers of facemasks.
Later, watched this evening’s alumni match of University Challenge, this time the Courtauld Institute against St. John’s, Oxford. Once again, both teams not much good, in fact downright poor. I certainly did better than both. An Indian woman called, I think, Ghoswami, was notably poor (she thought that Baku might be the most northerly major city of China, among other hopeless answers!); as for the other team, a Jewish woman called Klein knew almost nothing, though admittedly she did correctly identify a painting by Veronese which I thought was probably by Raphael.
"Public Order" offence. Has there ever been a more deliberately ambiguous and catch-all law? They can literally arrest you for anything they like under this and lockdown has opened the floodgates.
While I myself am not a member or, as such, “supporter” of “Patriotic Alternative”, I feel that these mostly young people are basically on the right lines. A political party is one route, setting up community or communities is another; there are other ways too. Those routes are not opposed to each other but complementary, like the fronts in a major military campaign or war.
Out of 150,000+ tweets and retweets posted over a number of years, and about 100 complained of by those Jews, a mere 7 (SEVEN!) were thought to be “grossly offensive” by the BSB and so formed the basis for the quasi-trial (Bar Disciplinary Tribunal hearing) in October 2016.
In fact, the allegedly offensive tweets were reduced in number at hearing to only 5 (FIVE). Out of 150,000+…Over 6 years of Twitter membership.
My point here is other, to wit that my tweets, all general comments about society and politics, were true in all particulars. One, at which the Tribunal took particular offence, was that Michael Gove [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gove] was “a pro-Israel, pro-Jew expenses cheat“. That was deemed “grossly offensive” despite the fact that the facts alleged by me were, in fact, facts.
In other words, I was condemned for having tweeted the truth. Where is the greater offence, the crimes or defaults of a politician, or the tweets posted and which commented on those defaults?
I might add that, in 2016, the general public was not aware (neither was I) that snivelling Jewish-lobby puppet Gove was (is?) also a regular cocaine abuser.
The other four tweets which sank me at Tribunal were also all true…
Truth is often no defence in the public-private politically correct and Zionist-dominated police state of 2020 Britain.

2/2 @janeycmj Riding a bike is dangerous, But forcing riders to wear feeble styrofoam bowls on their heads is not the solution. Enforcing the laws against texting while driving, or driving while drunk or drugged, would save far more lives, cyclists included. No sign of that. https://t.co/Ff1AgVObRL
Thank you @chrisadelaide. I suspect I ride much more slowly than you. One interesting statistic is the *tiny* number of fatalities so far among users of the (slow and heavy) London hire bikes, despite tangling with London traffic. https://t.co/pGQdhDyxNf
Bicycle riders are a nuisance, especially in the semi-rural English coastal area where I live; dark clothing, often no lights, usually no street lighting. Having said that, car drivers are often very negligent too.
My own niece, an Australian citizen working temporarily in West London, was knocked off her pushbike early in the year, and was lucky not to have been badly injured. The “accident” happened at an intersection where she had the right of way. The driver briefly stopped , then sped off. The police (who could have seized cctv evidence from nearby businesses, but did not), were useless. The hit-and-run driver, probably a non-European, has never been traced, identified, or punished.
I agree with Hitchens on the liberty point (not to have to wear helmets) but it is true that many have lost their lives by reason of not having been wearing helmets.
Ig told me that his nephew had suddenly fallen down at home (in the Caversham Park suburb close to the monitoring station; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caversham_Park_Village); he later died. Ig was (unwarrantedly) suspicious of the nephew’s girlfriend, with whom the deceased had recently had a child; mother and baby also lived in the house.
Ig seemed to think that the young woman, a Ukrainian in her twenties, might have had a drunken argument with the nephew, and hit him with something. There had been a head injury, but the police were not treating it as suspicious.
Having heard of the deceased nephew (and having once briefly met him in London, several years before these events), I was aware that he was a fairly heavy drinker. On the night of the death he had apparently taken a fairly considerable amount of drink at the bar within the monitoring centre.
Anyway, I attended the inquest held in Reading, though only as observer (I was at the time not yet Called to the Bar). Ig had instructed Counsel, a fairly confident young woman whose name escapes me but who made a career at the Bar (I used to see her around the Inns in later years).
The inquest was a rather sad waste of time, as many are. The trail seemed to have gone cold.
However, some weeks after that, the report of the inquest, printed in the local newspaper, brought forth a bus driver who declared that he had been driving his bus one evening when a cyclist, not stopping where a cycle path met the road, and the man not wearing a helmet, had shot across in front of the bus, which had stopped short; the cyclist had, despite not having been struck, fallen off onto the road. He had been helped up, and had continued on his way, obviously somewhat the worse for drink.
So there it was. No espionage connection, no drunken domestic argument and assault, just a somewhat intoxicated man who fell off a pushbike and was not wearing a safety helmet. His choice, his accident, his death.
3/3 @ianguth07700494 Unthinking claims in favour of helmets could be used to impose a helmet law, which would greatly reduce cycling and so diminish its huge health benefits to those who decide not to bother if such laws are introduced. https://t.co/xfjHy6mbs1

Had two relatively rare pleasures, one being traditional fish and chips, the other being a glass or so of Royal Tokay. The fish and chips was the first I had had for months, the Tokay (5 putts.) the first for at least 10 years. Both very pleasant.
At the same time, I saw University Challenge, another alumni match (Durham and Downing College, Cambridge). As on previous occasions, I did better than both teams. In a sense, that pleases me, but in another sense it displeases me (that highly-paid and respected broadcasters, scribblers and others are so damned ignorant in this country!).

Woke up to some interminable BBC World Service Outlook programme, based around a black girl with sickle cell anaemia. Next up was something called Witness History, which might have been better entitled Witless History. Basically, more anti-white, anti-European propaganda, this time based around the history of UNESCO, and featuring an angry, shouting UN career “diplomat” from Senegal.

“In your nothing I hope to find my everything” [Goethe, Faust; Faust to Mephistopheles]
Ukraine
As Peter Hitchens has written, Ukraine has been at the centre of many of the conflicts of the past century. Bolshevism, the White Guard, the Russian Civil War, Collectivization, Lebensraum, the war of 1941-45 etc.
During the Second World War, many Ukrainians supported the German invasion, as they had the German anti-Bolshevik occupation after the First World War.
Now we have a situation which has developed from that where the old Soviet Union collapsed and, understandably, after 70 years of Sovietism and/or war, many Ukrainians felt that they would be better off independent of Russia, an aim of many since the 19th Century.
Sadly, many of the hopes of the Ukrainians were dashed in the 1990s and thereafter. Corruption, poverty, gangsterism, and a wave of Jewish carpetbaggers arriving from the USA and elsewhere. I even saw that some Jewess from Maida Vale (the area of London where I spent most time over the years) had bought a confectionery factory there!
Now, Ukraine’s President, Prime Minister, and other top figures are Jews! One is even a Israeli citizen!
Ukraine was the germ of Russia itself. The Vikings, or “Varangians” as they are known in Russia, sailed down the great rivers of that part of the world (Don, Dniepr, Volga etc) and founded Kievan Rus, which is where Russia began, along with Novgorod: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27.
[Nikolai Roerich: Guests from Overseas]
Ukraine and Russia have always developed together. Not always in great harmony, but always together. That partnership is now fragile and under attack.
The Crimea was placed administratively under the control of the Soviet republic of Ukraine in 1954: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea. The population, though, is mainly Russian (65%; Ukrainians 15%; Crimean Tartars 10%; others 10%).
The Russian reassertion of sovereignty in 2014 was opposed by “the West” (NWO), which since then has completely taken over “independent” Ukraine and is building a great naval base on territory controlled by the Kiev government.
As Peter Hitchens says, these “NATO” (NWO) incursions are a direct threat to Russia, to its integrity and future. As Hitchens notes, imagine what would happen if the Russians did something similar in the Gulf of Mexico…
We may be looking here at the genesis of World War Three. At the same time, “NATO” forces are engaged in military exercises both in Ukraine and in the Baltic states.
Without Ukraine at least as neutral, Russia, as a near-superpower, is no longer in existence. Indeed, it would be not very viable, long-term, as a state at all, especially looking at the slow infiltration of Chinese influence in the Eastern part of Siberia (the former Soviet Far East).
[“Russia does not have borders; it is wherever there are Russian people”]
Russia may be relatively poor compared to the USA and the EU, but it has both nuclear and non-nuclear forces which can match the “West”. Yes, the USA can destroy Russian cities and bases ten times over, and it is not known for sure whether the Russians can destroy the similar American targets ten times over, five times, or only once! Is there any difference?
In fact, were, say, New York, Washington DC, Seattle, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Boston to be destroyed, would the USA even be able to function? Would it take 10 years to recover? 50? 100?
Population replacement isn't simply about changing the skin colour of the West; it's about downgrading the intelligence, aspirations, values and morality of the people. It's about rewriting the entire history of a civilisation for the benefit of a tiny, hostile clique.#ProWhite

Quite. I thought, earlier in 2020, that to create new hospitals was a great achievement even bearing in mind their limited aims and equipment etc, but now I wonder whether those “Nightingale Hospitals” were just part of a propaganda “big lie”…
Just as the most enthusiastic supporters of mass media and social media censorship now are those who, in the past, would have fought for liberty: journalists, MPs, published authors etc.
The Jewish influence in society (and especially in the mass media and the legal profession) is a large part of all this.

The tsunami of debt and destitution coming our way as a result of lockdowns will ultimately reveal the futility of attempting to legislate against a seasonal respiratory virus.
I was sent this Wikipedia material: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Langan, which is biographical detail about someone who has had some of the highest I.Q. test results ever recorded; between 195 and 210.
My own I.Q. was once (long ago!) tested at 156, which is considered high, the global average being taken to be 100. The average for UK university students is supposed to be 125 (though I am citing a figure from the 1980s, before “everyone and his dog” went to a “university”, so the average for students must surely be lower now…). I believe that the British “dating club for eggheads”, MENSA, takes candidates with I.Q. levels above 140 or 142 (I cannot recall exactly, offhand).
That Christopher Langan biog. is an interesting read in terms of the “Nature v. nurture” debate. As Wikipedia notes, it is interesting to speculate as to whether Langan would have had a very different (easier? Less turbulent?) life had he had such background (and family wealth) as the Jewish scientist, Oppenheimer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Oppenheimer].
As far as Langan himself is concerned, Wikipedia says that: “Langan’s IQ was estimated on ABC’s 20/20 to be between 195 and 210,[2] and he has been described by some journalists as “the smartest man in America” or “in the world”.[3][4][5][6]” and adds that: “Langan has developed an idea he calls the “Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe” (CTMU)[3][6][8] which he maintains “explains the connection between mind and reality, therefore the presence of cognition and universe in the same phrase”.[9] He calls his proposal “a true ‘Theory of Everything‘, a cross between John Archibald Wheeler‘s ‘Participatory Universe‘ and Stephen Hawking‘s ‘Imaginary Time‘ theory of cosmology”[3] additionally contending that with CTMU he “can prove the existence of God, the soul and an afterlife, using mathematics.“[1][4] “
Langan has socio-political views which would —and perhaps do— enrage the Jews and their “antifa” dupes:
Hard for the sort of mediocre, self-describing “Left” Twitter-twits and/or Jews often noticed to describe someone such as Langan as “a knuckledragger”, but no doubt many would still do it. They certainly do it to other intelligent and well-educated social-national people; they have done it even to me! Fortunately, such ignorant critics are irrelevant both to me and general society.
High IQ is better than low, but high morality (in the sense of the Good, or compassion etc) is more important, or equally important; perhaps more important. We are used to thinking, perhaps from popular thrillers etc, of “clever” and “bad” as going together, whereas “bad” often goes with stupidity, in fact. The future must be both “clever” and “good”.
Nature v. nurture. A debate which has been lively since the time of Darwin, and arguably since much earlier times. The Jesuits said, following no less than Aristotle, “give me the child until he is seven, and I shall give you the man.”
Rudolf Steiner was right to place education in the forefront of society. The German National Socialists, with very different aims and methods, did the same. As did the Soviet Union. None was 100% “right” in terms of what was done. Even Waldorf (Rudolf Steiner) schools are subject to criticism, sometimes ill-founded, sometimes not.
Whatever one may say about different forms of education, there is no doubt that, in the wider sense (meaning upbringing from birth, as well as more formal education), it is key to the future of the whole world.
People vary widely in their abilities. It should be the job of educationalists to discover what abilities a child has, and then to nurture them, both for the good of the child and for the good of society. Vocational dissatisfaction is at the root of many of the ills of society.
Also, it is not just a matter of stuffing the child with as much knowledge as possible, important as that may be. “EQ” (emotional intelligence) must run alongside I.Q. This idea is not new. After all, in exaggerated form it appears in Tom Brown’s Schooldays:
That formula, however, all but chucks out the idea of “IQ” and an education of facts. It is more akin to the basic National Socialist education of 1930s Germany. Not for nothing did Hitler admire the Boy Scout and Girl Guide movement of Baden Powell, and emulate it via the Hitlerjugend and Bund Deutscher Mädel.
The better ideal takes into account both the formation of intellect and the formation of character, including that of helping others: Durch Mitleid wissen (“Through compassion to knowledge”, the motto of the Knights of the Grail).
I wish that the “educational debate” in the UK were more about the themes noted above, and less about meaningless “grades”, “degrees” etc; and far less about “equality” (whether absolute or “of opportunity”).
I wonder what it would take to “raise the sense of personal threat” felt by members of “SAGE” (aka “DUMB”, the Department Under Matt and Boris”)? Or MPs, for that matter…
Of course, many MPs have contracted “the virus” and are still around. Are they incapable of learning?
Yes, that is right. As Hitchens says; 1998, not 1997, I think. I remember reading about it, in an overpriced Sunday Times bought when I was living in Alexandria in early 1998.
It wasn't Corbyn who freed the IRA murderers in 1998, @zimbo81180387. It was Blair backed by Clinton and the Tories. I've always thought it a touch hypocritical for the establishment parties to attack Corbyn on this issue, given their own records of appeasing terror. https://t.co/FZOnLOUfWo
Peace at any price…in 1997, the USA had its own agenda anyway. From the USA, the UK seems very much a sideshow (part of Europe/Eurasia), so Northern Ireland is “a sideshow of a sideshow”…
In general this is a good policy. But the rivers of Oxford have always flooded (less so, it is true, in the days of the wonderful old Thames Conservancy, when trees were quickly cleared and channels dredged) and sensible people have just not built on floodplains. https://t.co/OX7wjoLWU7
That sort of pseudo-SWAT militia is more now in evidence than previously. In the 1990s, they were mainly seen around Heathrow, often with smug semi-smiles on their faces. I often used to wonder what would happen in the event of a real terrorist outrage. Would the “robocops” really open fire with their Heckler & Kock MP5s? In a crowded terminal?! As seen often on Twitter, “genuine question”…
Having driven extensively in both Greece and Turkey (and in the Northern part of Cyprus), I am both unsurprised and (because I like the tweets of “European Housewife”) disinclined to comment!

They seem (often) to have forgotten that their job is to serve the British people, not alien and/or special interest groups. I have blogged about my own experience: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/
There has been a backlash, though. I notice that in Hampshire, where I live, the police command has decided to close a number of the local police Twitter accounts. Most were in fact interesting and informative, but I saw a couple which were obviously out of control. One was (it is not now tweeting and will be closed within a week or so) “@WatersideCops”, covering the western shoreline areas of the Solent, close to Southampton. That Twitter account was always pumping out propaganda about various things, particularly “racism” against “Roma” gypsies and so-called “travellers”, i.e. the caravan-dwellers once known as “tinkers”. Ironic, in view of the crime profile of the area (and areas around).
Often, though not always, civilian employees of the police are to blame for nonsensical tweeting.
Oh well…”Waterside Cops” will soon have to stop tweeting nonsense and start doing their real job better.
[Update, 2 January 2021: as of 29 December 2020, “Waterside Cops” were still threatening people who mocked their silly tweets! See below:
Nothing since then, so it looks as though the above silly and impotent tweet, posted not long before midnight —hm…—, will be the swansong of “Waterside Cops” on Twitter. Byeee!]
I suppose that I should not say more at present about the continuing persecution of the singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz, the complaints against whom (like the malicious Jew-Zionist complaint made against me in 2017) have mostly been made by the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” in the person of Stephen Silverman of South Essex. Alison comes up for trial at the end of March 2021.
One has to ask, in general terms, how it is that a tiny fanatical pressure group has in recent years exercized such influence over the police of London, Essex, Derbyshire etc. Also, how it is that these Israel-fanatics are apparently welcome on LBC, Sky News etc. Well, I suppose that it depends on the (((political editors))) and on their (((bias)))…
Well, Enoch was right, in principle, about mass immigration, but as to mental hospitals, may or may not have been right. It is a complex problem. I agree, though, that he was, for all his erudition, often vain and silly.
Powell was especially silly to try to be a latter-day, and Unionist, Parnell [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Stewart_Parnell], by linking with Ulster unionism in the idea of controlling a bloc of seats in the House of Commons. Rather, he should have left the Conservative Party either in 1970 or 1974, and then founded his own party, or maybe taken on the leadership of the National Front. That really might have worked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_Powell
The below is wrong at several levels. In England and Wales, 65,000 aged 65+ have died with it, plus over 7,400 working age people. Many had prior medical conditions, but we don't hold their lives to be valueless because Britain isn't a fascist state. https://t.co/ZLCoPhv2g8
Watched that excellent film, Waterloo. Rod Steiger is amazing as Napoleon, the man who changed the face of Europe even in defeat.
While watching I drank (probably too much) “blackstrap”, a mixture of cognac and port. A drink almost forgotten today, but which, before the First World War, was considered the drink of the Life Guards (officers) and (as and when permitted) Eton.
A good and warming drink, when taken in moderation.
Jew-Zionist activist Rachel Riley interviewed about “Internet trolls”. Wants users of Twitter etc to have to use their real names. Other Jewish Zionists are pushing the same line; Margaret Hodge for one.
In a sense, I am not completely against that idea. When I was on Twitter (2010-2018, though I only started to tweet prolifically from 2011 or 2012), I had only one account, and that account was under my own name (“@ianrmillard“).
I can only suppose that Kamm wanted to present himself as the “important” person who therefore has “trolls” attacking him. I rather see it the other way round: I cannot recall ever sending any tweet or other message to Kamm, but I seem to recall him tweeting once or twice about me…It’s several years ago now, but I am sure that Kamm was either mistaken or lying. Call it what you will.
Kamm also, as usual, called himself, in that newspaper comment, “a near-absolutist on free speech” but commended my disbarment for having posted a few tweets! I was disbarred for having tweeted FIVE tweets (out of 150,000+ posted from 2010-2016).
All those five tweets were general comments about society; none was addressed to any person directly, and I think that only two persons were mentioned by name. One was Michael Gove, whom I called something like “a pro-Jew, pro-Israel, expenses cheat“. That was true in all particulars and was known to be true even in 2016. I was unaware at the time that snivelling Gove was or is also a cocaine abuser.
Gove has never sued me, and has never threatened to sue me, incidentally.
The main irony of Jewish persons such as Rachel Riley and Margaret Hodge calling for all tweeters (etc) to use their own names and so be identifiable online, is that most of the worst Jew (and/or “antifa”) trolls on Twitter use pseudonyms in order to troll people. I was (and still am) a victim of all that, as are many others.
It took a lot of effort for persecuted singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz and others to identify some of the most disgusting and sadistic Jew-Zionist trolls, such as Stephen Silverman and Stephen Applebaum of the fake charity known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. Those two now tweet mainly under their own names, via “@ssilvuk” and “grubstreetsteve”, though Applebaum is still tweeting occasionally via “@rattus2384”.
I cannot be bothered to list all the Jewish and/or “antifa” trolls on Twitter using pseudonyms. Many.
Reverting to the Today Programme, as usual its bias showed clearly. Unlike many of its interviewees, Rachel Riley was interviewed almost absurdly respectfully, certainly not questioned closely about her demands.
Some fellow called Bruce Stacey, a supposed expert on social media, was also interviewed, and referred to “the American notion of free speech“!
“American notion“?! Unbelievable. So speaketh “the experts”!
Of course, the real reason the likes of Margaret Hodge etc want people to tweet only under their own names is so that persons critical of Jewish and Israeli behaviour can be more easily persecuted and, indeed, prosecuted. However, it may be that we have to stand up and be counted. Stand up for European life, people, and standards!
Boris the poundland Chamberlain
Very recently, I blogged about how Boris-idiot would play either the poundland Chamberlain, waving his piece of paper and proclaiming “peace in our time (with the EU)“, or the poundland Churchill, shaking his fist at the EU and proclaiming “we shall never surrender (to the EU)“. Well, looks like “Chamberlain” won…

I have not ‘downplayed’ it, I have suggested it has been misleadingly recorded and attributed, and pointed out that it is comparable to previous respiratory outbreaks which have not caused the strangulation of normal life. 1,600 people in the U.K. die every day. Sad, but normal. https://t.co/2YD6DRP6hZ
On the contrary @tickyw, I can *cope* with it perfectly well, just as I can *cope* with incompetent government, sub-standard goods, bad TV, overhyped books, the ignorance of the ill-educated etc. But I don’t have to like it, or accept that it has to be so, or was never better. https://t.co/SLoIzo2zoz
Classic! Needless to say, the Middle East Forum is not an 'American conservative organisation', it's a central part of the US Zionist lobby/Occupation Government. As I revealed in What Lies Behind the EDL? nearly 10 years ago, Tommeh was always theirs.https://t.co/BXqmLJ4xZj
I cannot really wish anyone a happy Christmas in this time of unrestrained folly and mass hysteria, but may I wish those who would appreciate it a very blessed Christmas, Full of Grace and Truth?
It's amazing how easy it is to control someone's behaviour by telling them they are a good, caring, altruistic person whereas other people are stupid and selfish.

Saw this clip from 1967, showing the Buckinghamshire station (Denham Golf Club Halt) from which I travelled daily into London for 6 months in 2001-2002:
A good service. Only about 20 minutes to Marylebone with one stop en route (Denham). In those days (2001-2002) they even had a small First Class bit at the back (sadly now discontinued, or so I read somewhere).
In the morning, waiting for the one train that stopped there, there were always the same half-dozen or so people, who always stood in their accustomed positions on the little platform (as did I, mainly because the only First Class bit was a sectioned-off third of the rear coach).

“We have finally found an agreement. It was a long and winding road but we have got a good deal to show for it”
“Peace in our time with the EU”… Ursula von der Leyen looks pleased, as if she has won…I suppose that both sides would say that this was not a zero sum game. All the same, I wonder…
“The Sun’s Dr Carol Cooper said a shortage of staff meant the Nightingales had no chance of ever hitting capacity.“
“NHS England said while three were on standby, Manchester was open for “non-Covid care”, Exeter and Harrogate as “specialist diagnostics centres”, and Bristol for “local NHS services”.” [The Sun]
In other words, there is no “virus” “crisis”. Yes, huge numbers of people in the UK are infected, but for the vast majority that means nothing, because they either have no symptoms or mild symptoms.
White people under 70 years of age are under little threat.
The real agenda, behind the public health aspects, is becoming pretty obvious to at least the thinking minority.
Yet again, it's one rule for us, while in private the ones imposing it on us do as they please – because they KNOW the covid plague story is a cattle prod to drive the human herd into their #GreatReset corral. Resign#NicolaSturgeonhttps://t.co/k8Jj6fc0U4
Despite the rising number of deaths caused by lockdown, 2020 has seen no rise in total deaths at all. This alone demolishes the covid plague hoax. pic.twitter.com/5yRTSLjMPv
Why? Because there is, effectively, no Opposition, just a shadow official Opposition under Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer (who has just nominated a Jewess from the “Board of Deputies of British Jews” as a Life Peer). However, the real, or underlying, reason that the UK now has an incompetent dystopian “elected” dictatorship is because the British people are asleep.
Well, I see her point, but the amounts she mentions, totalled and then divided among 300+ million Americans, come to only about USD $6 each! Not very much.
Tripe served in Bilge Sauce, drizzled with drivel and seasoned with piffle, @uniquejames. The thing you quote (from the pitiful shadow of a once-great newspaper) is an assertion, quite without hard causal evidence, by ….wait for it … Imperial College. Oh, yeah. Twit. https://t.co/MHlQz0VN02
…and look at the lack of self-awareness in that tweeter, “James Houghton”! Favours dictatorial “lockdowns” etc, yet has a Twitter profile “Freedom Fighter, Libertarian, Deep Thinker, Aspergers Spectrum“… What can one say?
New Zealand is an object study in how a people unwilling to apply their minds to socio-political issues, and who think that the important things are whether or not their sports teams can win rugby or cricket (or whatever) games on the other side of the world, and virtue-signalling, imprison themselves by not bothering their heads with “politics”.
As a result, a near-lunatic is voted into office and continues to pursue a globalist multikulti agenda which will eventually create a dystopian hellhole out of what was a quite positive society with an optimistic future.
We ought to be repealing current legislation against “hate speech”.
Yet the Law Commission is now proposing even more draconian measures, including the policing of conversations in the home & the reintroduction of blasphemy laws.
Yet Alison Chabloz so far remains on trial (set down for 30 and 31 March 2021) merely for mild remarks made when a guest on an Internet “radio” podcast panel discussion…
The problem that the “Free Speech Union” has is that it is just unwilling to identify the main enemy of free speech in the UK as the Jew-Zionist element and, being unwilling to speak the truth as to that, the FSU is weakened, very much.
The FSU’s Nelsonian eye turned toward Alison Chabloz and others (including me) makes its “defend free speech” stance not terribly credible.
Employed to keep the public 2 meters apart, yet they don't know what 2 meters are. From top to bottom, the people imposing this deceitful lunacy on us don't even believe it themselves.#lockdownrebellionpic.twitter.com/a412rYPhkf
I am pleased to hear it, but Beeching destroyed so much of this wonderful somnolent world, where railways connected the deep countryside to the modern city without destroying rural peace. Roads can’t do this. https://t.co/9mw41sfDsc
Yes, I am now recently 64, and can just remember both the last few steam trains of the early 1960s and the fuss around the Beeching cuts (though the only trains I ever travelled on in those days were the expresses between Reading and London (only used by me about twice per year, eg at Christmas to visit Hamley’s etc with my mother), so I never saw the branch lines, as far as I can recall.
No-one under my age, from their own recollection, knows about the rail network Britain once had, which started to be cut back between the two world wars, was cut back further in the 1950s, and then all but finished off by the 1960s Beeching “reforms”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beeching_cuts.
After the First World War, Britain had over 23,000 miles of track; by 1960, there still existed about 18,000 miles. In 2020, there remain about 10,000 miles of track.
The above is not a full picture, because many branch lines had a relatively few miles of track.
Some people may remember the Berlin Airlift. This is just Germany returning the favour. In return, the Johnson government is neglecting their truck drivers trapped here – no food, no sanitation, heating – no care at all. What kind of country have we become? https://t.co/p9qcpBu6iw
What has amazed me is that Government and its civil service must have known that (not necessarily because of “the virus”; maybe because of Brexit problems etc) there might well be a log-jam of trucks in Kent, yet it seems that even at Manston airfield, no contingency plans were made for water, emergency food, sanitation…What a bunch of total clowns!
