People in Britain today are angry: not just disappointed, not just disillusioned, but angry. They are angry at the state of Britain; angry at the total absence of leadership; angry at the absence of vision; angry at the hypocrisy and double standards; and they are angry at the incessant incompetence of a Government they no longer respect and increasingly despise.” ~ John Smith (then Labour Party Leader). 1993.

And tragically, his words of wisdom (aimed against the Tory government) could equally apply to Keir Starmer’s government of today.

Incidentally, “NPCs” means “non-playing character”— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-player_character (“Smersh never sleeps”…).

A quasi-Soviet-style bureaucrat-politician. Labour Friends of Israel, of course.

Although quite shocking that it has been revealed in court the young mum stabbed at the Nothing Hill Carnival is still in a coma and may lose a leg, I was delighted to see Shakiel Thibou, 20, in the dock accused of her attempted murder.

Which brings me to the other 348 arrests at the Carnival. 72 hours have now passed since it ended and if the prosecutors had acted at the same speed as the Southport riots they would all be charged and sentenced to lengthy periods in jail by now.

Just to remind you that 61 officers were assaulted during the “Carnival”. There were 8 stabbings, including that of Cher Maxine , who lost a huge amount of blood with one of her lungs collapsing after the attack.

There were 53 held for assault on emergency workers and 72 arrests for possessing an offensive weapon. There were plentyof other charges too numerous to mention. But this time there’s no directive from Starmer for fierce retribution. Why is that? Not so much two-tier prosecuting as two-race prosecuting.

Starmer, speaking at the summit with the German Chancellor, was very careful with his words when questioned by a reporter. He said; “ I will condemn any violence from anyone in the same terms as I have done for many, many years.”

That is a completely different approach in the wake of the rioting which kicked off following the Southport murders. No mention of the full force of the law. No mention of 24 hour courts. No Cobra emergency meetings. Just another criminal Carnival.

Nothing to see here, except stabbed Londoners and injured police and emergency workers. And definitely not a word from Mayor Khan who couldn’t even be bothered to warn that if large scale crime persisted the Carnival would have to be shut. Had this been a white gathering of such large number with that amount of crime would Labour politicians been so anxious to keep their heads down. I don’t think so.”

[Kelvin MacKenzie]

That is the third time in a month or so that I have agreed with Kelvin MacKenzie. Which one of us is being “radicalized”? Both? (along with at least half of the British people).

A really nice and heartwarming story.

As I too predicted. The totally incompetent “Conservative” Party had to be removed from office but —as I predicted— one result of that would be an “elected” dictatorship of Starmer and his Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet.

“Elected” by only 4 people out of 20 people eligible (4 out of every 12 people that actually voted).

I wonder what percentage would vote for a third option, were it available: “would you support or oppose the elimination of those illegal migrant-invaders unable to be deported?“…

“Two-tier” Keir’s “achievements so far, after not even 2 months…

I look forward to seeing him removed (not just a picture of him)…

I thought that all previous Prime Ministers had their portraits there. Maybe not.

I did not much like Mrs. Thatcher, but this seems petty. In fact, there does seem to be an ineradicable pettiness about Starmer.

In the UK, free speech is almost gone, cut down to almost nothing. As for “democracy”, forget it, even assuming (as we are usually told) that “democracy” is a “good thing”.

We all know what will probably happens somewhere not far down the line, but we are “not allowed” to say it or publish it.

The whole cultural sphere in the UK needs a thoroughgoing purge. TV, radio, the Press, publishing, academia etc.

The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers very quickly. The press-gangs tell the story. Few if any now volunteer, and many try to evade or avoid the draft.

Ironically, Uzhgorod is right on the border with Slovakia. I wonder how well the border is guarded…

It may now be too late in the year for a general Russian advance on Kiev, but we shall see. By next summer, surely. The Kiev regime weakens with every passing day, despite the pointless and doomed Kursk-region incursion, and despite the new infusions of money and armaments from the West.

News from the multikulti society

https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/24528641.bully-squeezed-girlfriends-c-section-scar-days-gave-birth/

Southampton pub landlady has spoken about ‘horrendous’ abuse from her ‘bully’ ex-partner – who squeezed her C-section wound days after having their baby.

[defendant and victim prior to the material events]

The court heard he had been previously convicted for offences involving Anneliese dating back to June 2020, when he choked, punched and kicked her, as well as damaging property – receiving a suspended sentence.

But things escalated again when she found out she was pregnant with their son in May 2023 with his abusive outbursts continuing until two days before she gave birth on November 8 last year.

The court heard he would manipulate Anneliese financially, asking for money for food when he actually wanted to buy drugs and alcohol.

He told her to kill herself while carrying their unborn child and called her ‘worthless’, ‘overweight’ and ‘fat’ after she gave birth, telling her to ‘get to the gym’.

He was arrested on December 1, days after the incident when he squeezed the scar at her home in Romsey on November 28, when one of her friends reported his abuse to the police.

But the court heard he continued to contact her, ignoring his bail conditions – something he denied doing.

Worster pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, criminal damage, two counts of assault by beating and two counts of common assault.

At his sentencing, Judge Robert Hill, Assistant Judge Advocate General, branded him an “out and out bully who gets violent”.

He was given another suspended sentence: 15-months, suspended for two years, and also handed a six-month restraining order.

But, Anneliese said: “I am just a bit disappointed that it is another suspended sentence. I thought where he had been convicted before it would be maybe a bit worse for him.

(especially if the knife or sex offenders are non-white).

These “people” add nothing positive to our society. They can neither create such a society nor even maintain one created by others; indeed, they cannot even live as parasites (predators and/or scavengers) in a civilized society without degrading it and dragging it down into the mire, into the swamp.

“Two-tier” Keir has already “taken the knee” (kow-towed to) the black or non-white mob, along with thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner. The aforesaid mob therefore have no respect either for Starmer (understandably) or for our society; they know they will usually be given a free pass.

I know what I think should be done about this “Labour”-label government but, because Britain is rapidly becoming a multikulti police state, I cannot say so expressly on the blog.

We know what England, especially but not exclusively London, is now like. What will it be like in 2034 or 2044, if a proper social-national government cannot take the reins of supreme power?

Three guesses…I can only presume that the question is rhetorical…

Ironic that a [person posing as] Prime Minister, “Two-tier” Keir, who has a huge Commons majority, is no more fitted for his rank than were his predecessors: the little Indian money-juggler Sunak, Liz Truss, “Boris”-idiot or Theresa May.

So the question devolves to “how can we get rid of him?“…

I don’t normally link to @UKLabour pages, but really everyone needs to read Keir Starmer’s speech to appreciate its scary mix of authoritarianism and vacuousness.

He has nothing to say on immigration – literally nothing. And he has no understanding of how to generate growth. So he resorts to more of what Labour always do – raise taxes, borrow money, pay it out to their clients.

Things are definitely going to get worse, as Starmer admits. But it’s hard to see why they will ever get better with Labour in charge. https://labourlist.org/2024/08/keir-starmer-speech-today-full-transcript-read-time/.”

True, but Frost neglects to add that the only reason the British people are now saddled with Starmer is because the “Conservatives” proved themselves utterly useless for 14 years.

Even Starmer’s (and Rachel Reeves’) exculpa is derivative, copied from that of Cameron-Levita, Osborne and Danny Alexander 14 years ago. Does anyone remember that? All the bs about having “examined ‘the books’ and found that there is no money” etc.

Ha. Rhetorical question, of course. A multiracial, multicultural, utterly shambolic dystopian police state, held together only by fear of increasingly severe and, eventually, savage policing and sentencing by politicized police, prosecutors, and courts.

His story is far more nuanced than was revealed at the time of his murder. Psychologically and operationally interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Nairac.

Of course, “the boats” are only about 5% of the whole problem of mass immigration, 95% of which is —superficially— “legal” immigration.

Diary Blog, 17 August 2024, with thoughts about David Starkey, dissidence, free speech

Morning music

[Knightsbridge, 1930s]

Saturday quiz

A poor week. I scored only the same as political journalist John Rentoul— 3/10. I knew only the answers to questions 1, 2, and 5; had I thought a bit more, I should also have recalled no. 9 and no. 10.

Talking point

As David Starkey says, Starmer is (along with others and, particularly but not exclusively, in “the party formerly known as Labour”) attempting to institute a kind of “woke” and multikulti police state.

Where I differ from Starkey is in having no faith in the idea that a different ethos of national identity can suddenly emerge or be fostered, not without a homogenous population. The UK population is going the other way, becoming ever-more heterogenous, and spinning out of control.

I also differ from Starkey in that he thinks, or hopes, that, if he or someone else puts forward a reasoned and reasonable argument, eventually people will accept the propositions put forward. The credo of the traditional or classical academic.

All very well, as far as it goes, but Mao put forward the credo of Realpolitik, that is “political power comes out of the barrel of a gun“.

Not that that I agree wholeheartedly with that Maoist quotation either. The —by any other name— “revolution” in the DDR/East Germany in 1989 was not violent. There were vast, though peaceful, demonstrations in several major DDR cities (Dresden, Leipzig etc). The Lutheran Church was part of all that.

The East German state was still arresting some dissidents even in 1989, but the heart had gone. I recall the strange feeling I had when spending a couple of days in the DDR in 1988. Like a stage set of a state rather than a real one, an impression made stronger by the seemingly almost-depopulated southern parts of East Germany through which I travelled by car. I have blogged once or twice previously about my impressions of the place(s).

As a matter of fact, the slightly contrived “revolutions” of the late 1980s in Romania, Czechoslovakia etc were mainly non-violent, as they were in the pribaltika (Baltic states). I myself saw Czechoslovakia briefly in 1988, just before it all happened, and was in Poland several times in 1988 and 1989.

In Poland, even in 1988, one got the impression that the state there was going through the motions of being a “socialist” state but that, just under the surface, the whole population, pretty much, was “dissident” in one way or another; a kind of vast, non-violent anti-socialist conspiracy of a whole people.

Even in the Soviet Union, a huge “revolution” happened over several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, mostly though not entirely peaceful, and including (as in Romania and elsewhere) many elements of the socialist-state structure.

Starkey is or was a Conservative, politically. He seems at least slightly taken with Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick. Why? The first is a Nigerian (though born in London) and so, in my opinion, unfitted by that fact alone to be a British political leader, let alone Prime Minister. I have, also, never heard anything worthwhile from her.

As to Jenrick, I have several problems with him too. He appears to be at least partly English, but his full provenance is not in the public domain; at least, I myself have never seen it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jenrick#Early_life_and_non-political_career.

Born 1982, qualified late as solicitor, aged 26, but was in legal practice for only about 4 years (with two of the leading American law firms, sequentially; presumably quite junior), and was then (somehow; how?) a director of Christie’s auctioneers (though only until he became an MP a few months later).

Jenrick’s provenance interests me. It also disquiets.

Jenrick, yet another member of Conservative Friends of Israel, is tied up with Jewish businessmen and property-developer sharks, and pushed for the ruination of the small park by the Palace of Westminster by the proposed construction of a hugely-ugly “holocaust” “memorial” and propaganda centre.

In addition, Jenrick ordered, as minister for immigration, murals for children of migrant-invaders to be painted over because the colourful murals might give them pleasure and comfort.

No-one, I think, could accuse me of being either pro-immigration or in favour of granting privileges to migrant-invaders, but that mean-spirited targeting of any small children of such invaders by Jenrick felt morally wrong to me.

Like Starmer, Jenrick is married to a Jewish woman and has had children with her.

Jenrick just feels wrong to me. He’s a bad apple.

As to the Starkey interview, while I can agree with much of what he says there, he is too much in the ivory tower in the end.

Ironically, for someone “cancelled” by the System for making “racist” remarks, he seems to me insufficiently so. How does he imagine this country will recover in the way that he hopes when 20% of the population is already non-European, and with another ~million coming in every year at present? Make that, conservatively, about a 2% increase annually.

It seems to me that Starkey knows in his heart that I am right (even if, as is quite likely, he has never heard of me), but fears to say so; don’t forget that he “apologized” and tried to retract after he was “cancelled”. Never pretend to apologize to either the mob or to “them” (((them))).

The video is worth watching, though.

Further talking points

Good grief.

Listen to that “muppet” (on the second video clip), one Benjamin Butterworth. Complete idiot. Complete traitor to this country’s people and their future, too. Former (?) Chairman of Young Labour (in London). Scribbled a few times for the Guardian some years ago, apparently. https://www.theguardian.com/profile/benjamin-butterworth.

Poor thinking skills. Very poor, in fact. A fanatic, but one with nothing of interest to say. Claims that “legal immigrants” (the vast majority of all immigrants) all “come into the country with a job“. A straight lie. Huge numbers enter as supposed “fiances”, “fiancees”, “spouses”, “students”, “family members”, “asylum seekers” etc; and even those supposedly entering “with a job” (on work visas) are often not bona fide at all.

I fear that much of Starmer’s strongest support comes from semi-educated and anti-British fanatics of that sort.

I rather think that GB News had that Butterworth on because they knew that he would create a kind of petty storm among the discussion panel.

Interesting to note that the msm always applauds “resistance” (including violent “resistance”) in, for example, historically, the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, Italy, Spain, and in various other parts of the world; in South America, even in contemporary North America and Europe, so long as Jews, non-whites, or sometimes Communist partisans, are doing the various forms of “protest”, but as soon as contemporary white people do the same, they must, apparently, be shut down, “cancelled”, even prosecuted and, indeed, even imprisoned. Not even because they have been violent, in fact. Look at Jez Turner, imprisoned for making a speech, Alison Chabloz, for singing satirical songs and posting cartoons; more recently, Sam Melia, for having published stickers the subject-matter of which was not even unlawful.

Remember “two-tier Keir” and thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner being photographed literally “taking the knee” (bowing down before) the fraudulent “Black Lives Matter” nonsense?

Carol Vorderman thinks that Nigel Farage is a snake-oil salesman. Well, not much argument from me on that, but wait until La Vorderman discovers the truth about Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves etc…

Of course, the main reason that Farage recently distanced himself from the English protests, and especially their riotous offshoots, was because he does not want OFCOM to pressure GB News to cut off his work (and money).

Well, I certainly hear what tweeter Paul Embery is saying there, but look at the alternative— Kamala Harris, a hugely-ignorant non-white who will be but a figurehead while the “Deep State” around her, and really running the show, foments war with Russia, a war they think they can “win” but which —if it happens— will leave Europe, as well as North America and European Russia, in irradiated ruins.

Dead men walking looting.

The only question is whether Putin will simply utilize conventional military methods to push the Kiev-regime forces out of that part of the Kursk region which they have recently invaded, or whether he will do something entirely unexpected by the Western msm, such as use very powerful bombs and missiles (even tactical nuclear ones) to blast clear the whole of the occupied area. There is an outside chance that he might even launch a massive air bombardment on Kharkov or even Kiev.

Whatever the Russian response is, the Kiev-regime forces will be unable to hold the recently-invaded territory. Zelensky himself has admitted as much, though saying that Kiev “is not interested” in doing so. If that is so, why invade that territory in the first place? Clearly, as a public relations exercise to keep Western arms and money flowing in.

Meanwhile, in the Donbass region to the south, Russian forces are steadily advancing at present. About a mile per day. Not spectacular, but the Kiev-regime forces, short of —most of all— soldiers, will have no chance of regaining those areas, or of stopping the Russian advance, all the more so now that some of the better Ukrainian detachments have been re-deployed to assist with the Kursk incursion.

Life in remote Western Siberia

A simple and, in many respects, hard life. Not completely isolated, though. I see that they seem to have electricity (“Socialism means Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country“— Lenin) , and that their milk comes from a carton rather than from their one cow.

The old lady is cooking (I think) manti [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manti_(food)] or pelmeni [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelmeni], foods quite similar inter se, and not dissimilar to ravioli. Cuisine is not really my forte, so I had better say no more. As for what she is frying, maybe cubes of bacon, maybe pork fat.

The old man is seen mending his fishing traps (there is a nearby small river).

Retired people in Russia now get a pension of about £200 a month. Not much (under Yeltsin, it was only about £25, and not always paid), but it must go quite far in a Siberian village. Milk, tea, bread, flour etc.

It occurs to me that, were the world to be hit by nuclear war, and depending on how severe that would be, people of that type might survive better than those who live, as most of us do, in Western (or Russian) cities, towns, suburbs, or partly-suburbanized countryside.

As someone once said of the Louisiana Cajuns living in and around the Mississippi Delta, “when the rest of the world is starving, these people will still be eating.”

Starmer-Labour is clueless. The time for a National Wealth Fund would have been in the 1970s and onward, using North Sea Oil revenues, but the System parties gave most of the benefit to oil companies and foreign speculators.

Again, clueless. Mad. Crazed. Would-be dictator Yvette Cooper, who is closer to her evil dream than ever before, is even more of a police-statist than Starmer. She must be stopped. Starmer must be stopped.

Where is real journalism in this country?

I mean by that, journalism that points out loudly and often that the Starmer-Labour regime was “elected” on the votes of only 33.7% of those who voted, i.e. a third of the actual voters, and only 20% (if that) of all eligible voters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results.

This government has no real popular mandate.

Already, people who have nothing to do with “terrorism” (even taking the term at face value) are being snooped upon and sometimes raided by the police, under (some of them) their new-ish Stasi-lite grand title of “the Anti-Terror Command”. I think that even the satirical singer and entertainer Alison Chabloz was arrested by them one day, several years ago.

Morning thought

So the Israelis have now killed over 40,000 people in Gaza, the vast majority non-combatants, and the majority of them women and children (or at least juveniles under 18).

According to the Israeli authorities themselves, the Jewish/Israeli death toll in Southern Israel arising from the attack by Hamas operatives on 7 October 2023 was just over 1,100, of which about a third were Israeli soldiers, police, and operatives of the Shin Beth security organization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Hamas-led_attack_on_Israel#Revision_of_casualty_numbers

So, Israeli death toll on 7 October 2023— about 1,180.

Palestinian Arab death toll in Gaza since 7 October 2023 to date— over 40,000.

40x the number…

Also, the Israelis have made Gaza all but uninhabitable.

The question arises: at what point will the “Israelis” consider that they have received sufficient “payback”?

Britain is now infested by these fake “think tanks”, “institutes”, fake “charities” etc, staffed and headed by useless persons (often, though not always, non-European), and subsidized (often, not always) out of public funds. A kind of propaganda industry dedicated to the subversion of our race, culture, and civilization.

You often find that MPs who are chucked out after having lost elections, and especially those who belong to “Friends of Israel” groups, are found well-paid jobs either heading such fake think-tanks etc, or similar “jobs” with various commercial regulatory bodies.

The Jews in Israel/Palestine will not be content (and in fact not even then) until they “own”, by conquest or trickery or terrorist gangsterism, all of the land in the country. Many of those Jew “settlers” (terrorists) are not even of “Israeli” origin, but have recently arrived from the USA, Australia, the UK, France etc.

Harold Wilson

Happened to see this recently-republished 2016 Guardian reminiscence of Harold Wilson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Wilson] and the Isles of Scilly:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/may/27/scilly-harold-wilson-prime-minister

Harold Wilson was (in the 1960s; he returned for a couple of years in the 1970s) Prime Minister at a time of transition, when Britain still had (more) remnants of our once-vast Empire, and when it still stood up sometimes to the demands of our supposed “ally” across the Atlantic. Wilson refused to join the USA in the Vietnam War, though Australia and New Zealand did, considering themselves bound by their SEATO membership [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia_Treaty_Organization]. The UK, though, was also a SEATO member, as were other states.

Domestically, the UK still had so many possibilities (in the 1960s as well as the 1970s), partly because mass immigration had scarcely started, as compared to 2024 (you rarely, almost never, saw black, brown, or other non-European persons). The very few (literally one or two, except at Oxford University) seen by me in the 1960s in Berkshire and Oxfordshire, where I lived, were occasional people such as NHS consultants.

I should know what the UK was like back then: I was born in 1956.

In the 1960s, there were many modernizing developments in the UK (for good or ill, sometimes for good) such as the Open University, the first motorways (M1, M4), Concorde etc. Also, after 20 years, Britain was just starting to pull away strongly from the restricted post-WW2 atmosphere that had hung over the country since the Pyrrhic victory of 1945.

As for Wilson himself, I encountered him when I was 9, or maybe just 10, in 1966 (my birthday being in early September). I was for some reason determined to meet him and, knowing that he was on the island, stalked a few people who looked, to my mind, a bit like him until I found my quarry on the quay at Hugh Town, St. Mary’s, accompanied by his sole bodyguard, a slim “British officer” type with a pencil moustache, his pistol and holster hidden under a cricket jumper tied around his waist, only the thin brown gun belt over the shoulder giving it away.

[the 9-10 year-old Millard, at left, with younger brothers and Harold Wilson, in 1966]

Wilson has been much-criticized over the years, but had some good qualities, not only personally but politically. He was unlucky inasmuch as the trade unions were all-powerful at the time, and because Britain was still, psychologically, fighting the Second World War.

Completely useless, and in fact negative, a millstone round the neck of our present society, let alone any more advanced version. Not needed, not wanted.

Those without respect for society, or for (real) British people, may at least be controlled, and their behaviour contained, via fear.

I very much dislike Douglas Murray’s pro-Israelism and pro-Jewish/Zionist-lobby stances, but he is surely on the right track here, leaving aside his wrongful negativity towards National Socialism.

Quite.

Incidentally, the only reason there are any cases at all of “mpox” (monkeypox) in Sweden and a few other European countries is because there are African populations in Europe.

Stalin asked, sardonically, “how many divisions has the Pope?” (Pius XII), yet Stalin is gone, the Soviet regime is gone, and the Pope (albeit a successor-Pope) is still around, as is the Roman Catholic Church (though many think it will not outlast the present century).

Trump says he’s disappointed that the Israel and Jewish lobby isn’t as powerful now as it was 15 years ago. “15 years ago, if you said anything bad about Israel or the Jewish people, you were finished as a politician — the most powerful lobby in this country by far, was Israel and Jewish people. Today it’s almost like, what happened?

People at last, and at least, started to wake up, that’s what happened.

Part of that is younger people (worldwide) not using the Jewish/Zionist controlled or influenced “legacy media”, aka “mainstream media”, very much these days.

Trump, as President, always was a squawking parrot in a gilded cage, guarded by Jews, but at least he might be able to prevent WW3, if re-elected.

I thought, before Biden stood aside, that Trump was “nailed on” to win, but the Kamala Harris candidature changes that, stupid and incredibly ignorant though she is.

For one thing, the American masses now vote mainly according to identity box-ticking. Many of the blacks will vote for Kamala Harris just because she is non-white (half-Jamaican, half-Tamil Indian). Many American women will vote for her simply because she is a woman.

I am beginning to think that Trump might lose this. Maybe that is why he is trying to get the Jews on-side. They may only comprise 2% of the American population, but their influence over the mass media makes their support all but indispensable for Trump.

I now find the US Presidential Election impossible to call.

Race, crime, and police reporting

Take a look at this local newspaper report.

https://www.advertiserandtimes.co.uk/sport/cctv-500-of-medicinal-products-stolen-from-lymington-store-9379199/

Shoplifters caught on cctv. The police describe them both as “white“, which they plainly are not.

I wonder how accurate many such reports are (or, rather, are not).

The police of the UK are pretty close to being just useless now, and are utterly suffused with “woke” nonsense.

Parasites, scavengers and predators. I should like to offer a solution here but, sadly, “the usual suspects” and their political, police, and CPS puppets, have almost destroyed free speech in the UK, making any comment difficult, presently.

That sort of thing is being driven by relatively small groups within each occupation, profession, and vocation.

I cannot say anything directly on the blog because we now have so little free speech in the UK (by reason, indeed, of those same “small groups”), so I shall just say “are you thinking what I am thinking?“…

This is becoming like a scaled down and ridiculous copy of Stalin’s purges. As Marx noted, first time— tragedy, but second time— farce [Karl Marx, The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon].

Of course, that poor fellow quite wrongfully sentenced to 8 weeks in prison, will not see the (unfunny) joke, even though his 8 weeks will in the end be something like 3 (he will be out after 40% of the headline tariff).

https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/24513379.sellafield-worker-jailed-sharing-offensive-facebook-posts/

In my opinion, the defendant should have pleaded not guilty. Unfortunately, he seems to have pleaded guilty (perhaps on advice of his solicitor) to get a notional sentence reduction from 12 to 8 weeks.

See another recent case in the same area: https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/24506682.maryport-man-jailed-facebook-post-police-bid-stop-disorder/

Starmer’s thoroughly wicked and unconstitutional suggestion (almost a demand, at least an expressed presumption) that anyone pleading not guilty to any charge arising —however peripherally— out of the recent protests) would be remanded in custody until trial (which these days might be months or even a year later) was a direct attack on the rule of law. Plainly intimidatory, and designed to make defendants cave and plead guilty.

The latest I heard, something like 700 arrests have been made. How many charges, I do not know.

The truth, of course, is now no defence, as I understood during my own free speech trial and sentencing (trial November 2023, sentencing March 2024: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/03/16/diary-blog-16-march-2024/

Compare those sentences of imprisonment merely for giving out a few online opinions (though the Court, “Clown” Prosecution Service and politicized police all try to make the “offences” seem far worse) with those handed down for real crimes committed in the same area, such as this one:

https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/24509815.shoplifter-denies-threatening-stab-carlisle-co-op-manager/

A thief told the manager of a Carlisle Co-op store who had caught him stealing alcohol that he would return and “stab him” if he called the police, magistrates heard.

The defence lawyer representing prolific offender Elijah Ali, 34, told the city’s Rickergate court that the defendant denied making the threat. He did, however, plead guilty to the theft and to using threatening behaviour.

Prosecutor George Shelley outlined the facts.

He said the defendant and a second unknown male walked into the Central Avenue branch of Co-op at around 9.30pm on August 5 and began brazenly stealing alcohol from the shelves, picking up “numerous” bottles of booze and putting them in Ali’s jacket.

This prompted the store’s manager to make a 999 call, reporting that a theft was in progress and requesting urgent help.

The second male left the store but as he left, said Mr Shelley, Ali told the store manager: “If you call the police, I’m going to come back and stab you. That placed [the manager] in a state of fear.”

Ali’s record comprises 98 previous offences, 25 of them thefts and kindred crimes. “He’s a prolific offender,” said Mr Shelley.

Magistrates imposed a £200 fine and told Ali to pay the Co-op compensation of £200 as well as £85 costs and a surcharge.

So a few online comments about a news item results in immediate imprisonment, but for a “prolific thief” (called Ali) with 98 previous convictions, and who threatened to stab a shop manager, only a minor fine (probably paid off at £5 a week).

Any comment, “Prime Minister”? That’s you, two-tier Keir.

Today’s authoritarianism knows no boundaries. London’s Metropolitan Police Chief just told the world that he will be coming after anyone who violates British social media censorship rules with international extradition requests – to include American citizens.

Simultaneously, the EU’s Censorship “Kommisar” Thierry Breton just told Elon Musk he can’t allow EU citizens to witness tonight’s interview with President Trump.

The elites who want to decide what is permissible to read and watch justify their censorship by labeling dissenting opinions as “misinformation,” “hate speech,” “far right,” or “extremist.”

During the lockdowns, MI-6 designated me and other health freedom activists as potential “terrorists.” But the label applies more closely to themselves, as they try to scare us into submission again with bird flu hoaxes, debt-fueled financial collapse, and ever more dangerous imperial wars of choice.

This is definitely a wake-up call, America. It’s time to reclaim our government. If not in America, the paragon of freedom, then where? https://zerohedge.com/political/london-calling-police-chief-threatens-arrest-people-around-world-online-speech.

Don’t stop what you are doing, Elon Musk. Hit Starmer hard.

The point is that the UK’s authoritarian/totalitarian laws and procedures have, in many cases, yes, been in place for some time, but have not been extensively used; in fact used mainly during and after the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic of 2020-2022.

This horrible nonsense has to go.

Bureaucrat-drone-dictator Starmer thinks that, by repressing free speech following the recent protests (and their riotous offshoots), he has somehow “solved” the problem that came across his desk. No. Every one of those recently sentenced, or sitting in some overcrowded jungle prison awaiting trial or sentence, now resents and hates Starmer and also the multikulti police state which he, Yvette Cooper, and Rachel Reeves, now head.

What does Starmer imagine will be happening in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029, with British people scarcely able to make a living, to pay exorbitant rents, to buy houses the cheapest of which cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, or to walk the streets of their own cities safely?

Every day, hundreds, sometimes thousands, of migrant-invaders arrive illegally on our shores. Thousands more, every day, enter at least quasi-“legally”.

Britain is heading for a dystopian conflict never seen before.

Maybe also making “holocaust” “denial” (i.e. examination and historical revision, particularly of events of the 1940s and 1930s) illegal in the UK. Don’t forget that Starmer is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, and that his wife is Jewish.

Don’t forget the others, the ~1,000,000 migrant-invaders that entered “legally” in the past year, or the births to non-European mothers.

I bet that the airlines still flying out of Israel have their flights fully-booked.

Europe should be standing with Russia, for the future of European culture and civilization.

He would have been justified in smacking her in the face, in the circumstances. Not immediately, but by the end of her contrived and sustained confrontation.

Kiev-regime announcement

The Kiev regime has announced that it “is not interested” in hanging on to the little strip of land it recently invaded in the Kursk region of Russia.

Translation: the forces of the Kiev regime only made the incursion so that Zelensky and his cabal could claim to Western mass media that they are “winning”, or at least continuing to fight.

In reality, the Kiev-regime incursion forces, mostly press-ganged and poorly-trained serf-soldiers, have been mainly wiped out, and the rest are —literally— dying to be able to drive back over the border to Ukraine and relative safety.

The Kiev-regime incursion was never sustainable; the territory gained for a day or two, or a week or two, could never have been held.

I am worried, though, for the dim Ukrainian soldiers and their grieving, or soon-to-be-grieving families, and also for the Russian civilian families in the Kursk border region, their lives disrupted by this stupid publicity stunt.

At the same time, the Russian advance in the south-east continues steadily.

Just walked through Huddersfield city centre. Really struck by the starkest of contrasts.

Some older women sat outside a Merrie England cafe (remember ‘em?), trying to enjoy a civilised afternoon tea.

They were surrounded by the stench of weed, people shouting in foreign languages, couples in tracksuits hurling abuse at each other, gangs of lads hanging around, beggars off their faces.

Nothing noteworthy about the scenario – just everyday stuff in yer standard Red Wall town. But I was impressed by the dignity and stoicism of the women. The rest of it almost reduced me to tears.”

I would suggest a few things, but no doubt that would bring the boring police drones to my door once again, as has happened several times in the past decade. They are the footsoldiers of the multikulti “woke” police state now re-energized by Starmer.

Much of urban Britain is now a dustbin.

Strange. I have read about the increase in alcohol consumption during the “lockdown” nonsense or 2020-2021. I went the other way, almost stopping my relatively-modest consumption.

There have been times in my life when I drank little or nothing, other times when my consumption was quite high. I suppose the latter was true of when I was living in the former Soviet Union, in the Caribbean, and in France, as well as when I was practising at the English Bar (during the years 1992-1996 and 2002-2008).

Now, most days, I drink no alcohol at all. No particular reason predominates. It may be partly a function of increasing age (I shall be 68 next month, ironically on the same day as the birthday of “two-tier Keir” Starmer, though he is six years younger than me).

Another reason is that the wines, especially the red wines, that I once liked, such as Chateau Margaux, are extremely expensive (I suppose they always were, but that I notice it more now), or are hard to source (some Moldavian and Georgian wines).

One kind of booze I do like is what the French term eaux de vie, such as 40%+ Kirsch and Poire Williams etc.

A Central and Eastern European taste too, that I must have picked up somewhere or other, is Slivovitz (plum spirit), which UK Lidl had on sale recently (I bought 2 bottles, 42% alc.), and what the Hungarians call palinka, fruit spirit, which may be distilled from one fruit, or a mixture. Apricot is probably my favourite, though I have not had any for well over 20 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A1linka; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsch; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poire_Williams; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slivovitz.

On a hot day, though, beer is often the best drink (apart from water). I used to like (30-40 years ago), Zhiguli beer from Russia, which was at that time sold in the UK, in Selfridges. Czech beer is pretty good, of course, as is some Polish.

When I was living in Turkey for a few months, I liked Tekel beer, made by a State enterprise. It no longer exists, at least in that form.

One type of wine that I liked a lot in the 1980s, and early 1990s, was the kind of white wine produced in Australia at that time, especially heavily-oaked quality Chardonnay. Harder to find now, of the same type. Maybe tastes have changed, and the producers have followed suit..

As I noted on the blog during the “Covid” hysteria, the self-describing “left”, including almost all of the “human rights” tribe, were all in favour of more severe “lockdowns”, more severe penalties, dissidents and people ignoring the “Covid” hysteria to have all civil rights taken away, deprived of all medical treatment, even when entirely unconnected to “the virus” etc.

Indeed, the self-describing “left” has lost almost all of its former ideology and direction, and seems to exist purely to cheer on the right labels (“Covid”, “Ukraine”, “BLM”, “trans”-whatever) and of course “Labour”, despite Labour (also) having lost all or 99% of its former ethos. That, and to “deplatform” from everywhere possible any people who are labelled derogatively by them.

Professor Tettenborn is someone I met a couple of times in Exeter circa 2002-2003. He was at that time the professor at the law faculty of Exeter University. I was in a small set of barristers (now very much larger and, under another name, the largest in the South West outside Bristol; the former head of my old set is now a Circuit Judge).

I sat with Professor Tettenborn and another as a notional “Lord Justice of Appeal” at a moot competition held in the Guildhall at Exeter in mid-2002. My only day as a Lord Justice of Appeal, or indeed any sort of judge.

Incidentally, the winner of the moot (out of three student contenders) was a young Anglo-Armenian who had engaged in some sharp practice during the competition. We three “Lords Justices of Appeal” discussed disqualifying him, but in the end relented. As a student advocate, he was head and shoulders above the other two students, and we thought that that had to be recognized.

A few years later, as a young barrister, the same person got into trouble over allegations of sex harassment (not in my own Chambers but another set), I heard. Not sure whether that went to the Bar Standards Board (I think it did), but the person in question is still, I believe, at the Bar and still based in Exeter; I think that he was also, quite a few years ago, an unsuccessful Conservative candidate for MP at Exeter.

All a long time ago now.

Professor Tettenborn also made a very cogent case at the Law Commission inquiry as to whether the very bad law known as Communications Act 2003, s.127, should be repealed. That was what was recommended, but the section has so far not been repealed, and is regularly misused either by the police/CPS or by the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

Ironic. I myself was noted at the end of that Law Commission report as having been a contributor, yet was myself later a victim of that same bad law: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/03/16/diary-blog-16-march-2024/.

[Update, 13 August 2026: the young Anglo-Armenian mentioned in the 2024 blog post as having been a university student moot contestant in 2002, a barrister accused of sexual harassment some time later (looks as if the allegations never became official complaints, though), and a Conservative candidate (at GE 2017— he came a poor second), is now appointed a District Judge: https://www.judiciary.uk/appointments-and-retirements/district-judge-appointment-taghdissian/.

Incidentally, while that is one of the lowest rungs on the judicial ladder, it pays quite well— £144,350 as of April 2026.

Children will be taught how to spot extremist content and misinformation online under planned changes to the school curriculum, the education secretary said.

Bridget Phillipson said she was launching a review of the curriculum in primary and secondary schools to embed critical thinking across multiple subjects and arm children against “putrid conspiracy theories”.

So “conspiracy theories” such as the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan will no doubt be examined (with an inbuilt and hostile a priori bias, though…). The brainwashing will probably fail if the children subjected to it open their eyes to what is happening all around them…

I saw part of Douglas Murray’s interview. Usually I have no time for him, or for any puppets of Israel and the Jewish lobby, but I have to say that I agreed thoroughly with much and indeed most of what I heard.

I can only imagine that Murray said such unambiguous things deliberately in order to throw down the gauntlet to “two-tier Keir”, to provoke his own, Murray’s, arrest, charge, and prosecution, with the idea that a British jury will never convict him. A gamble, but a calculated one.

Of course, a “British jury” may now contain blacks and browns who may not agree with Murray’s views, and let us not pretend that such cases are somehow objective fora searching for truth— they are purely political, just like the joint trial of Nick Griffin and Mark Collett about 20 or so years ago (they were both acquitted, a smack in the mouth the “Clown” Prosecution Service was not expecting).

However, a British jury might well acquit Murray, if he does end up being charged and tried. That would raise his profile immeasurably. Then, in a few years, he might become a Reform UK candidate (as might Matt Goodwin) in circumstances in which the “elected” dictatorship of “two-tier Keir” and his clowns will undoubtedly be extremely unpopular with everyone outside the msm and the Westminster Bubble. In fact, Britain might really be on the brink of revolt by then.

If, on the other hand, Murray is not arrested/charged/prosecuted, then the poundland “tough guy” image “two-tier Keir” has been trying to project over the past 5-7 days crashes and burns. Indeed, if Murray escapes prosecution, many now charged will be able to plead not guilty in the hope that juries will acquit them for reasons as openly political as many of the prosecutions themselves.

Assuming that Murray’s statements were made quite carefully and deliberately, I think that it can be said that he has made a stunning political move.

The legal arguments at any trial would revolve at least partly around the (apparent) fact that the now-famous interview was filmed in the USA, though broadcast or sent to the UK, and aimed mainly at a UK audience.

Sarah Ludford was a massive freeloader in her 15 years as an MEP.

Another enemy of the future of Europe.

What we are now seeing might be described as a struggle between Islamists who want to rule Britain (and mainland Europe), and Jew-Zionists who, partly and perhaps to a large extent, and more quietly [own and] rule Britain and much of the Western world generally.

Talking point

Are Starmer and Yvette Cooper (and that DPP drone) listening?

My own prediction was, and remains, that Starmer will “solve” the “small boats” problem by setting up some kind of fake “processing” lines in France, and/or elsewhere, then rubberstamping perhaps 90% or even 95% of the applications. That ~90% will then enter the UK “legally” (along with the —ten to twenty times the number— existing “legal” entrants), while the others will still cross the Channel without authorization.

The 1.3M+ figure noted by Matt Goodwin is dwarfed by the c.15M who have arrived “legally” over the past 30 years; also, do not forget the question of births to non-European mothers in the UK. Another form of “migration invasion”.

It is easy to just laugh at nonsense of that sort, but behind all such manifestations is an urge to lead all of society into the abyss. “Anti-sexism”, “anti-racism” etc. Also, generally, the inferior valued above the superior in terms of cultural value. Historical civilizations and cultures, religions, other belief systems. Music too, and visual art.

So we have that con-man and his accomplice (wife), who wrapped up buildings and whole landscapes, and called it “art”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo_and_Jeanne-Claude

[“art”
[“art”]

Some “artists” have made tens of millions, even hundreds of millions from their “art” of that sort. In Britain we have had Damien Hirst (in my opinion, both a con-man and a fake, as well as mentally-unstable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Hirst) and Tracey Emin (another fake and money-grubber): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracey_Emin.

[“art”]
[“art”]

Incidentally, the above piece of “art” by Tracey Emin was auctioned by Christie’s in 2014 for £2.5M. Do we need any further evidence of the decadence of our society?

The existing System in the UK has lionized “artists” of that sort, not only by selling their “art” for millions, but by awarding them System or Establishment medals or titles: Tracey Emin is now a member of the Royal Academy, and its Professor of Drawing. She was also awarded a CBE and later DBE “for services to art“. You couldn’t make it up.

Having said that, I recall a woman whom I encountered occasionally in the 1980s, and who was awarded an MBE around 2006 or 2007, “for fostering relations with Russia“. From what I heard, mainly carnal ones…

Incidentally, the infamous Tracey Emin Bed “artwork” was bought by (((Charles Saatchi))) for £150,000, then later, eventually, sold, as noted, for £2.5M.

Every. Single. Time.

Tracey Emin’s latest large effort was sold a couple of years ago for well over £2M: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracey_Emin#Art_market.

Art covers a wide field, and many forms, but the above examples show a degradation not only of art but also of a whole society.

This morning Netanyahu decided that he will appoint a Civil Service Commissioner by himself. The whole cabinet supported his decision. This is contrary to Israeli law and against the opinion of the Attorney General. The Israeli government’s ongoing coup d’etat is not a “judicial overhaul” but a destruction of the country’s rule of law. The Attorney General was verbally attacked during the meeting, and Ben Gvir called for her immediate dismissal. Netanyahu’s hostile takeover of the Civil Service Commission will mean that evert future appointment will be subject to the appointee’s groveling submission to him personally and to the extreme right’s agenda.”

Israel will not exist at some point in the near or medium-term future. The external pressures already lead to unsustainable internal stresses.

That’s right…it is not…

So, in the end, British free speech and civil rights were killed off, not by “Nazis”, and not by Communists (as such), but by a bespectacled, mealy-mouthed, charisma-free, little bureaucrat-lawyer turned Labour Party MP, with a Jewish wife and some buy-to-let properties.

“Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin) echoing, inter alia, my recent blog posts about the lack of legitimate mandate for Starmer-Labour. As said previously, out of every 20 people eligible to vote at GE 2024, 8 decided not to vote at all, perhaps because no social-national party or movement exists (as yet).

Out of every 20 eligible voters, and out of every 12 voters who voted, only 4 voted Labour (Con 3, Reform UK 2, LibDems 2, Greens 1), in rough terms.

The Starmer-Labour government has no legitimacy, and no mandate.

Colonies on other planets

Well, sad to say, that is nonsense. Human beings cannot live on other planets (the ones we know about) because the atmospheres are poisonous, and because the gravity is either too little or too great (meaning the human body cannot, over time, take the stresses).

There is no soil or water on other known planets which might be available for agriculture.

Other planets in our solar system are either too hot or too cold for human life to survive.

Several known planets are “gas giants”, and have no hard surface on which even to land or locate an artificial colony.

There is no way (short of somehow living in giant glass bubbles) for human beings even to live on the Moon, let alone Mars or Jupiter. There is also no point in human beings living —if they could— on other planets.

This whole idea of interplanetary colonization is a waste of effort. What it comes down to is a few billionaires who, however you look at it, have far too much money, and who are engaged in a puerile competition with each other, the prize seeming to be the status of having been the first to send loads of affluent tourists on joy-trips around the Earth and, eventually, Moon.

Incidentally, using current technology, it would take 200+ days to reach Mars. Jupiter? Between 600 days to get close, but up to 2,000 days to get into Jupiter’s orbit and/or land. So 2-6 years. Uranus? Perhaps 9 years. Neptune? Estimates vary between 9 and 18 years.

The Russian Army has destroyed a column of Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment that broke through in the Kursk region.

The enemy was moving in the Malaya Loknya area – this is approximately 15-20 km from the border.

The equipment stopped, where it was overtaken. The vehicles were destroyed by Ka-52M helicopters, and the infantry in the forest was finished off by artillery.

The Ukrainian (Kiev regime) advance appears to have no goal other than to reassure the suppliers of money and weapons in the West: “look what we can do!” etc.

The Kiev regime has insufficient men and armour to penetrate Russia more deeply, and it has no supply capability for such a serious operation. The Kiev regime advance will (even taking it at face value) run out of steam and then be unable to resupply its columns.

If the Wehrmacht in the early 1940s found itself lost in the vast prostor (apparently-limitless space) of Russia, how could Zelensky’s pitiful forces do better?

Is the Kiev regime trying to get Russia to use tactical nuclear weapons (either in the field or on Kiev) as a way of dragging NATO into the war directly? Let us hope not.

So despite the relatively young age of the defendant, despite the fact that the judge decided not to ask for any pre-sentence reports, and despite the fact that the defendant pleaded guilty, the judge in his wisdom decided to inflict upon the defendant an immediate custodial sentence of no less than 3 years (plus that mean little extra two months). Purely political, emanating from “two-tier Keir”, his recent poundshop-dictatorship speech, and his pathetic “Lord Chancellor” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabana_Mahmood#Early_life_and_career].

I know nothing about the case or the defendant but, in view of the harsh sentence, frankly my feeling is that he might as well have pleaded not guilty and gone for jury trial. He might have struck lucky.

It occurs to me that the present wave of repression in the UK has, as its psychological foundation, the way in which a medically-camouflaged police state structure of law and regulation was set up during 2020-2021; the years of the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic. The System was interested to see how craven most people were, meekly giving in to the demand to “wear a mask!” (in some places but not in others), “keep 2 metres apart!” (in some places) and all the other nonsense, such as the crazy and arbitrary “Rule of 6” made up by stupid poseur “Boris” Johnson. All that and, even more Draconian, the “lockdown(s)”.

We saw during the “panicdemic” how the courts at first went along with all the nonsense, though sense generally prevailed later on. As for the police, their behaviour during the “Covid” scam was nothing short of absolutely disgusting. Now look— they are again acting as a poundland KGB or Stasi.

You must be joking…

The media narrative that endowed the [defunct] English Defence League & right-wing figures with formidable organising resources was & remains the invention of the propaganda machine of the British Establishment.

No doubt right-wing activists posted provocative statements & a handful participated in rioting. But their influence has been blown out of proportion to inflate the role & threat posed by the far right”

– Frank Furedi Substack.

Quite. The bottle-throwers and/or “Tommy Robinson” fans are just an amorphous mass, pointed in this or that direction by those behind the “controlled opposition”.

This can only end one way, but under the already -considerable repression in the UK, I cannot specify anything without having to endure —yet again— the boring nuisance of having to talk to police drones at my door (as has happened a number of times in the past decade), and must therefore hope that readers can read between the lines, as in all authoritarian/totalitarian states…

Britain’s almost 60-year experiment in hate-speech legislation is a warning to the world. We first introduced an offence of ‘inciting racial hatred’ in 1965, in the Race Relations Act. Fast forward to today and we now have laws against ‘incitement to religious hatred’, ‘grossly offensive’ online communications and a police force who routinely harass women for calling men men on the internet. Cops have also taken to quietly recording ‘non-crime hate incidents’ against citizens’ names, when the pesky law gets in the way of their authoritarianism.

The upshot of this is a scale of speech-policing that is surely unprecedented in our history. In 2017, an investigation by The Times found that nine people a day were being arrested for ‘posting allegedly offensive messages online’ – with 3,395 arrested in 2016 alone. Even then, that investigation was limited to one piece of legislation – the Communications Act – and the real number is almost certainly higher, not least because many police forces didn’t respond to the survey. Greg Lukianoff, president of America’s estimable Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, argues that, on the basis of those partial numbers alone, Britain is comfortably locking up more people today for speech crimes than America did during the first Red Scare.

When people think of hate-speech laws they probably imagine some vicious fascist, being dawn-raided for airing toxic, ancient hatreds. There’s still a bit of that. But as those racist rioters remind us, while they are mercifully small in number, censoring racists doesn’t make racists go away – it just forces them to spew their bile out of sight, at the fringes and in fetid echo chambers, where they can’t be clocked or challenged. What’s more, there are many supposed speech criminals who – while offensive to some – are hardly dangerous bigots. There’s Count Dankula, the YouTuber who was convicted in Scotland for making a ‘grossly offensive’ comedy video in which he taught his pug to do a Nazi salute. Feminist Kate Scottow was convicted of causing ‘needless anxiety’ via persistent ‘misgendering’ – thankfully, that one was overturned. Christian street preachers are often arrested by the police for airing their predictably less-than-liberal views on homosexuality and transgenderism. This has been going on for decades now. Indeed, it’s been almost 20 years since Sam Brown, a student at Oxford University, was famously arrested for calling a police horse gay.

More alarmingly, the British state is increasingly taking an interest in things people say in private. There have been a few cases now in which people in England have been convicted for racist posts made in private WhatsApp groups. In Scotland, the great, sinister innovation of Humza Yousaf’s Hate Crime Act is that it forgoes the usual dwelling defence – a feature of existing hate-speech legislation that prohibits arrest over speech uttered in your own home. Now, any Scottish dinner-table chat could be a crime scene.

Certainly, incitement to violence, true threats and so on are crimes in every civilised society – even in America, where the First Amendment renders any censorship of speech and the press unconstitutional. But ‘incitement to hatred’ and ‘grossly offensive’ speech are different things entirely. One man’s hatred is another man’s passionately held moral conviction. Offence is always in the eye of the beholder. We all think we know hate or offence when we see it, but at the end of the day everyone will draw the line slightly differently. You’re then left with someone having to decide, and nowadays that means someone like Keir Starmer – a man who until about five minutes ago thought it is ‘not right’ to say that only women can have a cervix.

[Spiked magazine]

Part of all that is also to do with the numbers of people now in the UK who are actually either foreign and born overseas, or foreign, born of foreign parents, but in the UK.

Such people are now often to be found in public sector jobs, having acquired a degree from one of Britain’s new “universities” (with their ingrained “antifascist”-type bias). Police, probation people, civil servants, lawyers, academics, MPs, “journalists” (ill-informed scribblers), TV talking heads etc.

They are the foot-soldiers of the “woke” police state, and have no centuries of freedom of expression, or the struggles for that, to look back upon. They just have no inbred respect for free speech.

Sadly, their numbers now include English/British people as well, many of whom are entirely ignorant of English history, let alone world history, and have no respect for, or even understanding of, freedom of expression, free speech.

Another step on the UK’s road to perdition. Already, almost any criticism or even observation made about Jews, or Jewish behaviour, is likely to be treated as some kind of “hate speech”, either by police and CPS drones, or by the self-appointed defenders of Jewish/Zionist “entitlement”, such as the malicious and so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”].

Already, the laws of the UK are such that almost any leading historical thinkers such as Jesus Christ, St. Paul, Luther, Marx, Nietzsche etc would be prosecuted were they alive and living in contemporary Britain.

(An old one, but still relevant on the whole).

Whatever the nuances of housing supply and demand, mass immigration is the major factor in driving up both purchase prices and rental costs.

Between 500,000 and a million new “inhabitants” in the UK every single year, almost all non-white, non-European, newcomers.

Only idiots such as now-washed-up former MP, Pakistani pro-Israel puppet and Muslim apostate, Sajid Javid cannot see, or refuse to accept, the connection

(Make that 10M+, though, not 4M…)

Let me get this straight: Keir Starmer is releasing violent criminals from prison just to replace them with people who commit thought crimes on @X. And he is spending police resources investigating and going after people for retweets and Facebook posts when there is a shitload of violent crime all over Britain.

There is an historical precedent of sorts for what Starmer etc are doing.

In Stalin’s day, the Soviet criminal legal system regarded ordinary, i.e. real, criminals as “class allies“. They got far more lenient sentences for their crimes of acquisition or violence than either the so-called “former people” (aristocrats and the middle classes), i.e. “class enemies“, usually sentenced for what they were, rather than what they had done, or the political prisoners, the most harshly-treated of all, who were regarded as terrorists, saboteurs, or simple traitors, even if they had done nothing but write a socio-political critique, or even a poem.

“Counter-offensive against Russia” – Zelensky’s most risky decision, which has been secretly planned for months, Kiev is taking risks with the army and technology, according to The Times of London, citing sources

Main points from the article citing high sources in Kyiv:

Zelensky pressured the military leadership to start an offensive for months in complete secrecy.

In Kiev, they want to change the narrative that Ukraine is losing the war.

Ukraine would attack Russia even without Western permission.

This is the most risky decision since the beginning of the war, because Moscow will do everything to regain the territories.

The forces allocated for this operation range from 6,000 to 10,000 soldiers (probably more in reality).

The military leadership is ready to risk soldiers and expensive equipment in order to achieve something in this direction.

As blogged previously, this operation is a propaganda/public relations exercise.

The Kiev regime has no military objective in sight, unless it is to reach Kursk, 77 miles from Sudzha where the front-line seems to be at present.

In the unlikely event that the Kiev-regime forces reach and take Sudzha, and then move up the good-quality 2-lane highway to Kursk, all that will happen will be that those forces will be encircled and destroyed by air as well as armour.

The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers, even recently recruited (pressed into service) ones. It also has no logistics capability to sustain a deep thrust into Russian territory. Russian air power must be all but unchallenged in the Kursk region.

Former Pentagon Analyst: Ukraine Simply Cannot Win, and F-16s Will Be Destroyed on the Ground

Ukraine and its Western partners have no military strategy in the conflict with Russia, former Pentagon analyst Karen Kwiatkowski notes on Judging Freedom.

According to her, Ukraine is fundamentally incapable of winning — and no F-16s will change that: they will be hit not even in the sky, but at their parking spots.

Ash Sarkar is put forward as the articulate voice of the (in her case, second-generation) non-European living in the UK. The fact is that, even taking her at face value, she is an example of maybe one out of every hundred if not thousand.

“Out there” on the streets, Britain is becoming a multikulti dustbin, full of those who are not British in any real sense, and not a few who are little more than semi-savages.

Not someone in whom I take a great interest, and I only knew of her existence from a relatively few years ago, as far as I can recall. However, she (meaning her life) seems to me to personify certain aspects of what is wrong with this country.

The odd life and downward progress of Katie Price also somewhat reminds me of a far more literate, though I think not very nice person, Jeffrey Bernard, who was once described as “having made a career from writing about dying from cirrhosis“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Bernard.

Bernard’s Spectator column could be, sometimes, brilliantly funny. More often, it was simply absent, with what became the standard apologia, “Jeffrey Bernard is unwell“, below a substituted piece by someone else.

Incidentally, I once had a copy of the book about him, Just the One (referring to his habit of saying —usually inaccurately— that he had popped into a pub for one drink only). Really funny, though sad too in places.

Conservative Home’s poll, though, is only persuasive in effect, because Conservative Party MPs, not Party members, will choose the two final leadership candidates to be put before the whole membership: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Conservative_Party_leadership_election#Timetable.

While the most recent semi-official membership figure is around 172,000 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)#Membership], it seems likely that the real figure is maybe 100,000, if that.

Good grief. That is, apparently, “a senior police officer“…

Britain in 2024…

Look at recent Sky News and BBC News coverage. Almost like TV news in the old Soviet Union or DDR (East Germany).

“Shadows on the wall of the cave”…

As in Stalin’s Soviet Union— people arrested who are genuinely puzzled as to why, saying “why am I here?“, or “I haven’t done anything“, or “what have I done?

Two-tier Keir’s emerging police state.

That little Director of Public Prosecutions bastard is a typical police-state drone bureaucrat.

What happens, and what has happened in history, when every form of peaceful socio-political protest, criticism, or even analysis, is shut down? As people say, “answers on a postcard…”

Incidentally, many will know of that Basu bastard (now only a former policeman), who is sometimes quoted on TV or in the lying Press as an “expert” on “extremism”, “terrorism” etc, and who, risibly, was apparently the UK’s chief of (police) counter-intelligence. He is often spouting nonsense about how almost everything “far right” etc must be repressed. Another supporter of the upcoming (unless stopped) multikulti “woke” police state.

See also my piece from about 6 years ago about the tendency to a police state in the UK, that even then was coming out into the open:

Quite. Out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote. Of the 12 that did, 4 voted Labour, 3 Conservative, 2 Reform UK, 2 LibDem, and 1 Green.

The regime of “two-tier Keir” has no legitimacy, no mandate. If the courts and general legal and justice system are not exercizing their proper independence, but are simply obeying the purported diktats of “two-tier Keir” and that bureaucrat-drone who seems to be the new Director of Public Prosecutions, then the courts themselves have no legitimacy.

Britain is now travelling rather quickly down the path of becoming a multikulti “woke” police state— a tyranny.

I can’t stomach these MPs gloating about incredibly young men being locked” up for years

These are lads who feel utterly powerless and disenfranchised, raised in a system that’s taught them they have nothing and can never accumulate anything.

During the Black Lives Matter protests, left-wing commentators argued that protest, vandalism, and even violence were necessary to highlight injustice. I disagreed then, and I do now, but where are those voices today?

There IS an obvious injustice: the British working class has been maligned, slandered, ignored, fobbed off, and lied to for a generation. They can’t buy a house, their kids are in overcrowded classrooms, and they watch as illegal migrants get private accommodation for free. How is that not something to be angry about?

Our political class prioritizes everyone else’s interests over theirs. These politicians are clueless about the real struggles these young men face.

Abandoned, left to fend for themselves, and when they finally lash out, we throw away the key. It’s disgraceful. Instead of addressing the root causes of their anger, they fan the flames, and believe me, they’re not alone in their fury.

This is the MP in question, gloating about a young man of 20 sent to prison: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Johnson.

Looking at Diana Johnson’s biographical details for the first time, I notice that she was a salaried barrister 1999-2005 at Paddington Law Centre (West London), where I myself did about half a dozen (unpaid) evening sessions in 1993. I lived only a couple of miles away at the time, in Little Venice.

David Morgan is a brave young man and deserves support.

[Update, 9 August 2026: David Morgan was arrested, as he predicted would happen. Two malicious Jews, one an old woman from North London, one a transplant living near Tenby in Pembrokeshire when not in Israel, persisted for over a year in repeatedly reporting Morgan to the police, and those Jews then arranged to have applied political pressure on the police, effectively compelling them to act.

Morgan —in my view mistakenly— pleaded guilty to racial incitement and was —despite no previous convictions, his youth, his considerable medical vulnerabilities etc, despite all of that mitigation— imprisoned for 20 months in December 2025. A travesty of justice. All for having posted a few cartoons about Jews and Jewish behaviour.

I believe that either he has been released or shortly will be, as of July or August 2026.

I wish that someone who knows him would set up a GiveSendGo crowdfunder for him.

Paul Mason is some kind of NWO/ZOG mouthpiece, maybe (and many have suggested this) an agent of the UK security/intelligence services.

I find it very suspicious how his published and broadcast views have morphed over the years, and are actually quite opaque: sometimes quasi-Marxist, sometimes anarcho-syndicalist, sometimes in favour of aspects of finance-capitalism; sometimes all in favour of violent protest, but then often equally in favour of authoritarian clampdowns.

Mason tried several times to get into Parliament but never succeeded. Even Starmer-Labour would not have him.

The common feature in what Mason has said for many years is that he always favours dictatorial limits on free speech and freedom of expression, and he is always hostile to white European self-determination. He himself is a part-Jew.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)

I noted the above example of Britain’s new poundland Stasi yesterday, as well as the latest visit of the police to my home, about 5-6 weeks ago, which was in relation to comments allegedly made by me on Twitter/X apparently not long ago, which I found puzzling because my Twitter account was permanently shut down in 2018, and I have made no Twitter or Twitter/X posts since then.

Even more puzzling was that the policeman came to my door (he was not invited in and, to be fair to him, did not ask to enter) despite the fact that the (I think) two supposed tweets in question had already been examined by the police and, as he put it, “NFA’d” (“No Further Action”). So why was he even deployed?

Part of the problem here is that “a certain element”, i.e. the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby fanatics, seem to be able to make malicious and untrue “complaints” to police without any consequences for them even after the complaint is shown and proven to be both untrue and malicious.

For example, in 2021, the main active individual in the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, one Stephen Silverman, made an entirely untrue, false, and malicious complaint of “racial harassment” against me. The events are chronicled in the blog post below from 2022:

The complaint made against me was entirely false. I had never had any direct contact with Silverman, did not know his address or telephone number, and had never sent any message of any sort to him. He, however, has been trying to harass me for nearly a decade, by making false allegations of various kinds. His Jewish-Zionist “CAA” cohorts, too.

The CAA admitted on their website that they have been trying to “get” me for 7 years (longer, I think).

Now the making of a false and malicious complaint of that nature is an attempt to pervert the course of justice, a serious crime. In the 2021 case mentioned, though, not only was Silverman never charged with such a crime, but (following political pressure by the “CAA” on police, CPS etc), though I was never charged with “racial harassment”, I was, much later, in 2023, charged (by post) with having posted supposedly “grossly offensive” remarks and cartoons on the blog, nothing to do with the earlier allegation, but still instigated by Silverman and the “CAA”:

My assessment of Jess Phillips from several years ago:

The “multicultural society”…such people not only can never create a better or higher-level society, they are incapable themselves of maintaining the present level of society, or even living in the present society without dragging it down into the swamp.

Once again, the UK’s police behaving like a poundshop Stasi.

Useless.

As to whether I myself have any trust in the police— not really. I might have answered differently 15 years ago, maybe even 10 years ago, but not now. The police I have dealt with personally in respect of various matters have ranged from just useless to unpleasant, to actively politicized and biased; and not forgetting their having been extremely ignorant of the very questions of law, history, and civil rights that several of them have claimed to know about.

Britain is becoming not even a zoo but a jungle, with the savagery of the denizens of the jungle unrestrained.

Alex Phillips saying that you cannot talk to such people as that Labour drone who, on the higher levels of UK politics, are the Starmers, the Yvette Coopers and so on. So if you cannot talk to them, and they as a group or cabal are not listening, then what?…

The multikulti society cannot work, and does not work.

Starmer’s underlying problem is that he and Labour do not represent more than a small or even tiny number of people. 34% voted Labour at GE 2024, so only a third anyway, but 8 out of 20 people did not vote at all, and even many who voted Labour did so mainly to bin “Conservative” MPs and the Con government of the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak. The real level of support for Starmer-Labour is only around 10% of the adult population.

Readers may like to know that tweeter “@ianmillard100” is not me. I have mentioned him previously. I do not think that he is deliberately passing himself off as me, though. I believe that he is some kind of I.T. specialist from Bath University who has the same name as me and, slightly irritatingly, happens occasionally to tweet the odd view not dissimilar to my own (as seen in the tweet above).

Anyway, my earlier mentions of Paul Mason stand vindicated. He wants to shut down various online services and platforms because they allow a greater level of free speech than he wants.

Paul Mason is not only a socio-political extremist with very murky motives and connections, but (like several members of the Starmer-Labour Cabinet) a would-be tyrant. He has no future, politically, though.

Britain needs real social nationalism. Reform UK can only be, at best, a stepping-stone.

She does not fully reflect my own ideology, or even views, quite often, and I sometimes dislike her opinions (especially but not only on Israel and the Jewish lobby), but not always, and she does make me laugh sometimes. Unique.

Sounds as if Clarkson, of whom I have never much liked the look, has mellowed, or at least learned a little.

He might have added (if he knows) that, while well over 4M people voted Reform UK (more than voted for the LibDems, or the Greens), fewer than 7M voted Conservative, and fewer than 10M voted Labour.

Labour, for all its supposed “landslide”, got only two and a half times the number of votes of Reform UK; not even, in fact.

Out of every 20 eligible voters, only 4 voted Labour. Con 3. Reform UK 2. LibDem 2. Green 1. 8 did not bother to vote.

Fanatical Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson claiming that the National Front “plotted to blow up Jews“. Untrue. Ahistorical nonsense. The National Front was a genuine and legitimate political party, albeit a fairly small or even fringe one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Front_(UK). Apparently, it still exists, at least in name.

In the 1970s, the National Front was the fourth-largest party in terms of both members and votes, certainly the latter.

As for Myerson, who operates out of Leeds and Manchester, he was recently removed as a Recorder (p/t judge) after having repeatedly abused people on Twitter/X etc, and after having failed to listen to initial “advice” (in effect, an admonishment or reprimand) from the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.

It may well be that some particular individual NF supporter or member plotted as described by Myerson; have members of the System parties never committed any crimes?

I was once in Hungary, for about a week, and 24 years ago (2001). I never went to Budapest, and travelled from the Romanian frontier to the Austrian frontier (which was then also the EU frontier), staying at Szeged (a pleasant town on the river Tisza) and then in a former Soviet-style “sanatorium” (hotel) by Lake Balaton, where my wife and I had a suite with its own external staircase to the lawned gardens which ran down to the lake, in which I was able to swim.

There was a small bust of Lenin in the bar (in the days of socialist rule, pre-1990, there may or may not have been a bar, but there was in 2001).

I liked what I saw of Hungary: civilized, and the people, the ones I met, reliable and decent.

Starmer and Yvette Cooper are tendentious anti-Brit people. They come out of a history of promoting mass immigration into the UK, and are really traitors to the future of the British people. Both members of Labour Friends of Israel.

Yvette Cooper and Ed Balls, when both were MPs, were expenses cheats and freeloaders; criminals. Now she, a would-be dictator, and member of Labour Friends of Israel, is trying to shut down what free speech still exists. Evil.

There are those on “both sides” trying to frame these fights and protests as revolving solely around white people opposed to Islamism and/or Pakistani Muslims.

The rioting Gypsies of Harehills (Leeds) are not Muslim; neither is the alleged Southport killer. All, however, are non-white, non-European, non-British in any real sense.

If that is accurate, and is what Putin has said, it may mean that he has come to certain conclusions about a possible, and possibly inevitable, “solution”.

Not only is there “two-tier policing” in the UK, but there is also two-tier reporting.

I watched a few minutes of a BBC report from a protest in the North of England yesterday evening. The geeky reporter said that he had just been talking to a leader of the “counter-protest” (unnamed, and not described, other than as said; may have been non-white, Jewish, or an English anarchist or Communist, we do not know), who had given his view. Needless to say, the unverified, anonymously-provided information provided by the said “leader of the counter-protest” was neither challenged by the BBC reporter nor balanced by any view from the English protesters. Typical.

Suddenly, we hear the mouthpieces of “the usual suspects” (e.g. Priti Patel, John Woodcock/”Lord Walney” etc) demanding the recall of Parliament.

Is this Starmer-Labour’s “Reichstag Fire” moment, when very repressive laws and/or “temporary” “measures” will be enacted by Starmer at the behest of (((those behind Starmer))), thus enabling a real police state (modelled on, inter alia, the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic regulations) to come into being?

Fanatical loonie Jew-Zionist Lee Kern describes England, or Britain, or the UK, as a “shithole”. He was, I think, born here, brought up here, and worked here, but has as little real connection with our country as some untermensch straight off a rubber boat on the beaches of Kent.

I saw the same phenomenon, though couched rather more politely (surprisingly) when the egregious lawyer, Mark Lewis, abandoned the UK for Israel (he is still returning from time to time to make money, though); that was in 2018, after he was found guilty in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal.

As for “sense of purpose” in Israel, its only sense of purpose has to do with its losing struggle to survive. I do not know how long the Israeli state can survive, but former heads of MOSSAD and Shin Beth seem pessimistic about it. Arab populations increasing, Israeli population static; nuclear weapons being developed in Iran; conventional heavy weapons being developed in states around Israel.

It is true that we have a severe illegal immigration problem, it is true that it is costing the taxpayers billions, it is true that some awful crimes have been committed by these and asylum seekers, it is true that thousands of Hospitality jobs have been lost by housing them in hotels, it is true that social housing is being depleted by this problem. If you’re trying to shut down accounts that highlight that, you’re not for free speech, you’re an authoritarian nut case.

The pro-immigration types have always liked the British people to assume either that migration(-invasion) is cost-free, or that it actually benefits the UK. It’s rubbish. The overall costs are enormous.

“Hope not Hate”, the misnamed mainly Jewish, and tendentious, “antifascist” organization, supported by some System MPs etc, is apparently now partly-funded by taxpayer monies, a fact of which I was previously unaware.

Note that the guilty party is “Lowles”, not “Knowles“.

I have, for a number of months, if not longer, raised concerns about Starmer, who always reminds me of Khrushchev’s view of Malenkov, i.e. that Malenkov was a “file-clerk type; such people should never be given power, and are dangerous” [see https://www.amazon.co.uk/Khrushchev-Remembers-Nikita-Sergeevich/dp/0316831409].

Look at Starmer. His first crisis as Prime Minister, and what does he do? He retreats to his “legal people” comfort zone. He does not even attempt to unite a country being pulled in different directions by centrifugal forces, as a real leader would.

Starmer threatens new repressive powers, “night courts”, no bail for accused persons (which is beyond his lawful power anyway), prison sentences (ditto). He supports, basically, one side, or rather is against one side, the British side, if you like.

Starmer’s attempt to create fear, eg among those on social media, has had some effect, not on the “bottle-throwers” but on entirely decent English people, many of at least middle-age, who have deleted tweets (often saying simply that they have been labelled “thugs” by Starmer).

Meanwhile, the brainless police have been shown on Twitter/X “bravely” kicking in the door of a lone woman who attended a protest. What else, if anything, did she do? If the police behave like a poundland KGB or Stasi, then public respect for them will (further) plummet.

Well, here we are, one month and one day into the Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship.

Oh, and another few hundred, or thousand, migrant-invaders will have crossed the Channel today, ferried in by Border Force and the RNLI (and another thousand —or possibly three thousand— “legal migrants” will have entered the UK via ferries and airliners).

Britain’s poundshop Stasi…

Watch that police “officer” in the clip, her smug attitude, hands in pockets, and the whole attitude of both police. Superficially not harsh, but arresting someone who sounds about 80 for comments (no doubt about the ghastly state of this poor country) made on Facebook!

Police state, even if it is (still? so far?) a “velvet glove” one most of the time.

I think that the time has come, inter alia, for me to share with my dear readers an event that happened at least a month ago. About 5 or 6 weeks ago.

Mid-evening after a warm day. I think a Saturday. Not sure. About 2030. Knock at door. Uniformed policeman there. Had never seen him previously. “Hello, what’s the problem?“; to which he answers “why would there be a problem?“, at which I have to politely explain that my wife and I do not have the police at our door every day…

It turns out that I am being questioned (and filmed on bodycam) for tweets made on Twitter/X. I am told right from the start that “there is no need to worry“, because the matter had “already been NFA’d“, meaning “No Further Action”.

I was too surprised by being buttonholed to ask why, in that case, a policeman had once again come to my door (not that exact policeman, but in the past decade, several real police and/or joke “PCSO” fake police).

The policeman showed me a kind of photostat or copy of what might have been a tweet, but he objected when I tried to take or (as my wife says I always do) snatch the paper to look at it properly (once a barrister, always a barrister…).

The heading seemed to be something like “Ian#IStandWithCorbyn

Anyway…I told the police that I had actually not had a Twitter/X account, nor tweeted anything at all, for about six years, since 2018, when a pack of Jews (I diplomatically put it as “a Jewish organization“) had complained about me to —pre-Elon Musk— Twitter, as a result of which Twitter had shut down my account permanently (and that I had never bothered to reinstate the account).

After that, the policeman, absurdly, would not let me examine the tweet or tweets, on the basis that the material would be confidential if not mine (why, if the tweet was public anyway?). The police today need a Franz Kafka to chronicle their absurd rules and protocols.

Anyway, after that, and a joke or two (from me), the policeman thanked me and departed stage left (not pursued by a bear, sadly).

So the police can send someone over a claimed tweet allegedly by me, which tweet had already been marked as “NFA” but, when a wheel was stolen from my car about 18 months ago, they did absolutely nothing. Useless.

I was too surprised to ask why they thought that the “Ian” of the tweet (if he even exists) was thought to have been me. Do the police think that no-one else in the UK is called Ian? God knows.

No wonder crime is flourishing, when the police seem to be uninterested in, and indeed incapable of doing, their proper job, yet take seriously malicious complaints from (((the usual suspects))) about supposed comments on Twitter/X, Facebook etc.

Who would best chronicle the way Britain now is— Franz Kafka, or Lewis Carroll?

I, thankfully, will not be here to see Britain turned into a ghastly melange of Calcutta, Haiti, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New York.

What interests me is how these “liberal” scribblers, talking heads, lawyers etc all talk a good “human rights” game until someone tries to stand up for European race, culture and civilization. Then the “liberal” System/msm types are all in favour of locking people up for merely stating a view, let alone actually attending a protest…

Plymouth now. I think Royal Parade, one of the main streets, near to Armada Way, where I often, in the years 2002-2007, used to appear as Counsel in front of a varied group of judges at the Plymouth County Court.

Plymouth could be a great city, but isn’t. Badly-run for decades, basically.

As to the protests generally, BBC News dragged out Brendan Cox, the sex-pest of years ago, whose MP wife was assassinated. Cox was at one time getting hundreds of thousands a year from charities for his salaried work. One of the “favoured” of the present System set-up and its msm. One of the Prominente favoured by the multikulti msm, if you like.

Why does that person have any locus standi at all to discuss, or lay down, what does or does not constitute “legitimate” free speech?

Mass immigration has affected, and largely ruined, huge areas of British life— housing provision, pay levels, State benefits, including pensions, crime, terrorism, the roads, railways, education, culture generally, even water supply.

That may be a logical fallacy, to assume connection, or causative connection, but at the same time he may be right.

Talking point

…and of course Jesus Christ was occasionally himself justifiably angry, as when he overturned the tables of the Jewish money-changers. Makes you think.

Quite. Just like would-be tyrant-woman Yvette Cooper, who even had the gall to say that British families should allow migrant-invaders to stay in their homes. Needless to say, she and her equally-expenses-cheating husband, Ed Balls (who together own several houses and flats) are not accommodating any migrant-invaders.

Fear? Think how many Muslims there now are in the UK (England especially). Nearly 4 million. Most are quiescent most of the time but, if inflamed by their own leaders, and/or by pro-active policing, and if organized (even locally) they could easily take down both the police and the now-very-depleted Army. Think about it.

English people are generally not organized when it comes to political protesting. Usually easily-controlled by the authorities.

“Stop saying “far right thugs”

Say violent offenders on ALL sides

Stop talking only about mosques

Say you support ALL communities

Stop dwelling on “misinformation”

Say immigration concern is REAL

Stop talking about making ppl safe

Say you’ll actually control borders

Stop denying two-tier policing

Say mistakes were made in past

I think Labour is getting this wrong.

In a sense, the migration-invasion of the UK (and Europe generally) is the tsunami overshadowing the smaller events under it (such as the present urban upheavals in England).

The new and rubbish “Labour”-label Government talks a hard game, but behind that, the migration-invasion continues unchecked, unabated. Sooner or later, this society will break, whatever political pygmies of the Yvette Cooper and Starmer type may say (or do).

Reminds me of the last days of the German Reich, with Hitler and the generals of the OKW (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht—German High Command) moving wooden plaques, representing SS-Panzer and other forces, mostly by then non-existent, across huge maps, while, not so far away, the enormous Soviet armies advance relentlessly, ever closer to Berlin.
