Once again, Israel puppet Starmer shows to what extent his mind is dominated by finance-capitalist and basically Jewish-oriented thinking.

Anyone imagining that the expected (?) “Labour” government of 2024 will be any better than the present “Conservative” misrule will be very disappointed.

Ukraine war

Happened to listen to BBC Radio 4 Today Programme for a few minutes in the car. A correspondent was talking about the drone attacks on Moscow, and saying that prior to the Russian invasion, there had been no attacks, and so these attacks were happening only because of the Russian invasion.

Superficially true, in that Russia proper was never attacked before the invasion of early 2022, but what was not mentioned was the 8 years of artillery bombardment (and bombing) of the Russian-speaking and/or pro-Russian areas of formerly-Ukraine territory, particularly Donetsk, starting in 2014.

I waited to hear who was giving what was basically a lying-by-omission account of things. Turned out that it was “Steve Rosenberg, Russia Editor“. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Rosenberg]. What a surprise. Or not.

Every single time…

I notice that some of my oldest and also least-read blog posts received hits today. One, written in 2018, was this little anecdote about my Bar pupillage in 1992: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/06/19/home-and-away-or-neighbours/

Ostalgie?

I visited Poland several times in the late 1980s, spending maybe 2 months or so there altogether. I also once spent a few days travelling by car from Poland to West Germany, so I saw small parts of the southern regions of the DDR (East Germany) at that time (summer 1988). I have blogged about it previously. A strange-seeming society, very very different from the Bundesrepublik (West Germany).

The DDR was a very controlled group-dictatorship: rule by the few (Communists), of course, and in most respects the DDR was very inferior to the Bundesrepublik, but the situation was not entirely black and white. Few things are.

The Ukrainian army will begin to lose control over the situation along the entire front, as is the case in the Kharkiv region, former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter wrote in an article for Sputnik. “The thinning of Ukrainian defense lines has provided Russian forces with new opportunities.” This resulted in great successes in the area of ​​Kupjansk. The armed forces of Ukraine will continue to weaken as they suffer losses, and gaps will appear in their defense that the Russian army can use to break through,” the expert predicts.”

Black Africa. That’s where the wealth goes— into the pockets of a few corrupt bastards…

There can be little doubt that, as the Ukrainian (Kiev regime) counter-offensive is failing, the air war is heating up. If Russia keeps getting attacked from the air, even if only by drones, the response may be devastating.

…and about a million so-called “legal” ones as well…

“According to unnamed sources from the Bundeswehr, there are serious problems with the training of Ukrainian soldiers in this country.These problems are mainly related to the poor selection of personnel sent for training. Namely, in the ranks of Ukrainian soldiers who came for training at the German training grounds, you can often see people in their later years of life, practically pensioners. It is not uncommon for German instructors to come into contact with people who have entered their 8th decade of life.”

As blogged previously, the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder. The young mostly want to avoid service, either by emigration (illegal now after age 18), or by other means. The foreign chancers and adventurers and (ex-mobile laundry unit) Brit or American “soldiers” and/or “Soldier of Fortune” types who flocked to Ukraine last year are thin on the ground now that it becomes clear that the front-line is a near death-sentence, especially in the Donetsk, Lugansk, and Kharkov sectors of the front.

The Kiev regime high command has lost about 450,000 soldiers killed, wounded, or captured in the past 18 months, of which about 40,000 may have been lost during the recent/present failed counter-offensive.

Meanwhile, the Kiev regime is having to use press-gangs to “recruit” new soldiers, hauling people off the streets and into military custody.

Yes. Quite. A black woman in Bristol was or is facing charges based on an allegedly fraudulent crowdfunder (crowdfunded for ostensibly “lawsuit” purposes).

Do not know whether that matter is still active or not, but “Jack Monroe’s” anti-Lee Anderson/Martin Daubney crowdfunder was (as far as I could see) almost identical. She crowdfunded, quite obviously took the monies for her own use, then (having failed even to attempt suing the two in question) brazenly claimed to have given all those crowdfunded monies to unnamed foodbanks.

To my mind, it is a 50-50 chance that any Twitter/”X” poster still (apparently) naively supporting “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe” is actually…”Jack Monroe” herself, i.e. a so-called “sock account”.

Yes, “austerity” etc, but also the several decades of mass immigration and now the cross-Channel migration invasion as well. Don’t be stupid enough to imagine that you can import, mostly over about 30 years, 10-15 million persons into the UK (“legal”, “illegal”, and those born to the first two categories) and maintain the civilized society and services which used to exist. Especially when most of the “imports” are —at best— useless people.

From the newspapers

After the Sarah Moulds case, and other recent cases, something even worse:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/aug/29/two-women-jailed-torturing-killing-pet-parrot-carlisle

Two women jailed for torturing and killing pet parrot in Carlisle.

Tracy Dixon and Nicola Bradley put oven cleaner and paint on friend’s bird and threw it in tumble dryer.

Two women who tortured and killed a friend’s pet parrot during a lengthy drinking session have been jailed by a judge who described their cruelty as “beyond comprehension”.

A court heard that Tracy Dixon, 47, and Nicola Bradley, 35, sprayed Sparky the female African grey parrot with Mr Muscle oven cleaner, daubed it with gloss paint and tried to feed it to a dog. They later threw it in a tumble dryer that was turned on.

Both women blamed the other. Judge Archer, sitting at Carlisle crown court on Tuesday, jailed them for 25 months each and said Dixon and Bradley had “together, sadistically tortured and essentially killed Sparky. It is frankly beyond comprehension how anyone could treat an animal in this way.”

[The Guardian]

Thoughts: first thought is that is good that the courts are, as it seems, finally using fairly new legislation to punish such wicked behaviour.

Second thought: the two women really deserve [reluctantly REDACTED], in my opinion (but the year in prison actually to be served— out of their 2.5-year sentences— will have to do).

Third thought: I am glad that the headline was not “abusers escape jail” or some such (complete with photo of smirking defendants and family/friends outside the court).

Final thought: while, thankfully, a case of such egregious cruelty is relatively rare, drunken sluts of that sort seem to exist in huge numbers in this country, and cruelty to animals is not the only way in which their very existence poisons society.

I may be wrong, but somehow such horrible useless people seem to me to be a phenomenon more often found in the north of England rather than in the south but, as said, I may be mistaken in that.

I should have liked to have seen more detail about the defendants and their background, lifestyle etc, for sociological reasons.

Well, this week an easy victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 4/10, whereas I managed 7/10, and might have scored 9/10 had I been able to bring to mind the answers to questions 1 and 7 (which I basically knew). The only question on which I had no idea at all was no. 3.

Humanity owes a massive karmic debt to the animal kingdom.

Slava! All the same, that central westward thrust from Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk) to Vinnitsa looks to me unnecessary and possibly counterproductive.

Russia needs to secure all territory east of the Dnieper, and also the coastal littoral of the Black Sea (including Odessa) but, above all, Kiev itself. Confine the Zelensky regime to a rump inland “state” based on Lvov.

The map shows, supposedly, something akin to the original scheme, but it probably is still the overall strategy.

Historical note

The Bürgerbräukeller, Munich, in or about 1923, shown above presumably before rather than after the “Beer Hall Putsch” (8-9 November 1923 :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch).

The photo shows a meeting of the NSDAP. All those shown in the photo were members or supporters of the NSDAP.

What interests me is that, at that time, the NSDAP was a relatively minor party even in its hub, Bavaria (in early 1923, the national membership was about 6,000, and by the Autumn of 1923 about 20,000).

In May 1924, i.e. after the failure of the “Beer Hall Putsch” (aka “Munich Putsch” or “Hitler-Ludendorff Putsch), the NSDAP (banned, so using the name “National Socialist Freedom Movement”) scored only 6.5% in the federal (national) elections, and only 3% in December 1924.

In 1923-1924, the NSDAP had the sort of minor public support that, in the UK of the 21st Century, UKIP was enjoying about a decade ago, and that the BNP had about 15 years ago.

All the same, look at that photograph of the NSDAP meeting in 1923. Many hundreds of people, at the least. All looking decently-dressed.

One cannot but help compare that to the tiny so-called “far-right” (national and social-national) parties of today’s Britain.

The main difference politically between Germany in 1923 and Britain in 2023 is, that in 1923 Germany, there were large numbers of Germans of all social and income groups who supported the idea of national renewal. The NSDAP may only have had a few thousand or tens of thousands of members, but other volkisch parties and groups, such as, and primarily, the Stahlhelm, had the same or more, in some cases hundreds of thousands: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Stahlhelm,_Bund_der_Frontsoldaten.

Look now at Britain in 2023. The degenerate strata of higher-income and high-social-status groups do not, generally, support national renewal, but are (metaphorically) signed up to the trends which are destroying our society (and now destroying it quite rapidly).

What that means is that, should social-nationalism, by a political miracle (which I do not rule out) take power in this country, it will have to start its mission by removing surgically, and by drastic surgery, large sections of degenerate society, at all income and social-status levels.

Damn. For the second time recently, political journalist John Rentoul beat my score (which has happened only very rarely over the past several years). This week, he scored 8/10 as against my 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 6, and 10.

As not infrequently noted on the blog, Ukraine now has few domestic volunteers willing to go to near-certain death or serious injury at the front. Likewise, few foreign adventurers are now willing to risk it, whether for misguided idealism, for thrills, or for —relatively paltry— money.

Many Ukrainians are trying to evade conscription, and/or to get across the borders of Ukraine (forbidden to most men 18+ in age). Meanwhile, Kiev-regime press-gangs are now scouring the streets trying to find draft-dodgers. The wealthier evaders are willing to pay plenty for an exemption document, which might also allow them to escape the country.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12399127/President-Zelensky-takes-Ukraine-war-Russia-Moscow-Kyiv-engage-tit-tat-drone-missile-strikes.html

Ukraine and Russia have engaged in tit-for-tat drone and missile attacks as their war of attrition intensifies.

President Volodymyr Zelensky is increasingly taking the war to Russia, with fresh strikes on Moscow yesterday.

Earlier this month, Ukrainian drones damaged government offices in the capital, and on Thursday Russia said it downed two drones headed for Moscow, a day after two others were destroyed on approach. Targets yesterday included the west of the capital near the Karamyshinsky hydroelectric power station.

The attacks led to the closure of airspace over Moscow’s Vnukovo international airport and Kaluga city, 125 miles to the south west.

At least two drones were reported, with one filmed buzzing the Russian capital. A drone was said to have been shot down by Russia. There were also reports of an explosion in Krasnogorsk in north-west Moscow.

[Daily Mail]

Should the Russian leadership so decide, Kiev and all other Ukrainian cities can be razed to the ground, either via nuclear attack or via conventional missiles, bombs etc. That would be a terrible thing, and bitter for both sides, but the Kiev regime is playing with fire.

After the 2020-2022 years of police-state “lockdowns”, stupid “anti-virus” measures such as the facemask nonsense and the ludicrous “Rule of Six”, and the NHS leaving millions to “die on the vine” without medical or dental services, not many will feel sorry for doctors who, even the junior ones, get paid more than most British people. Many of the doctors are also from affluent backgrounds, as is the one featured in that Daily Mail report.

You only have to look at the bitch in question (one Pamela Mattinson, of Bolton, Lancashire): dressed in exercise clothing even at court, and a grandmother at the age of 48 (though looking 70 years old)… a “chavscum” grandmother.

Oh…and of course (needless to add) she has “issues” with alcoholism and her “mental health”…drinking vodka in the middle of the day…

Look at her with (I presume) her equally “chavscum” daughter, smirking on the steps of the court.

Rhetorically, one might ask why her sentence was suspended, but these days, in England, you rarely get a prison sentence unless you murder someone, or publish something that the Jewish lobby does not like.

Britain now has millions of feral and useless persons of that sort. The country needs to be cleansed.

At least the kitten recovered and was rehomed, but the bitch who tried to kill it has not been suitably punished, not at all.

This is not simply a report about an abused kitten, nor even about one wicked woman and her probably-equally-unpleasant family, but also the context of a whole stratum of society that should be straightened out or eliminated.

Tweets seen

That first tweeter, “Mariken”, is very typical of many naive “Jack Monroe” supporters. Even after the past year or more of gradually-intensifying exposure of the “grift” and outright fraud by “Jack Monroe” (one or two mild assessments were even published in the Guardian and Daily Mail), “Mariken” obviously has no idea at all. Amusingly, her Twitter profile says “Animal lover. Hate corruption and liars“, yet here she is lauding psycho liar “Jack Monroe”, who also killed at least one or two domestic animals by wilful neglect or worse.

You could hardly make it up— the silly woman thinks that “Jack Monroe” is “a great role model“! What part of constant lying, “grift”, theft, fraud, and the harassment of both critics and disenchanted donors (etc) does “Mariken” fail to understand? Not to mention alcohol and drug abuse, and the profligate spending of other people’s money (etc).

America, “land of freedom”…

Yes. Starmer stands for nothing, basically, except of course being even more of an Israel/Jewish-lobby puppet than (inter alia) David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, Liz Truss, or “Boris” idiot. As previously said on the blog, Labour also now stands for absolutely nothing, unless it is the parody “we can run workhouses better” (etc).

As against that, the present “Conservative” government has taken “Boris”-idiot’s “omnishambles” to a whole new level. Even its own MPs are now loud in condemnation of its total incompetence. The Con MPs hoping to stay on as MPs, that is; many others are already in the lifeboats as the Con ship sinks in the opinion polls.

My assessment at present is that there is no enthusiasm for Labour (beyond the usual Twitter drones). Labour is up because the Con Party and its misgovernment are down, purely that.

On the above premises, while the Sunak government is obviously doomed, it may not be quite as doomed as presently appears. If the economy (the real economy, for the average Joe) improves a little, if inflation falls at the same time, i.e. over the next 6-9 months, and if that average Joe, and Josephine, feel apathetic or so-so rather than actually angry about the present government, then they may just stick with Con rather than defect to LibDem or Lab.

If enough of them do that, in marginal seats, then the prospect of a 1997-style Labour landslide (seats, not the popular vote) may just disappear like a mirage. We may then be back in hung Parliament territory.

No mystery. Just part of the implementation of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: ferry blacks and browns etc from Africa and Asia to Europe, get the white Europeans to mix with them, thus over time creating a coffee-coloured population, then that population to be ruled over by Jews and part-Jews (eg Rothschilds, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, David Cameron-Levita, Zac Goldsmith etc, to name but a few).

Do not forget, also, the hundreds of thousands of births to non-whites within the UK over the past year alone.

Ah…a terrible result for me too this week, one of the worst in the past several years of doing this Saturday quiz. I was even beaten by political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10 points; this week I could manage only a mere 3/10. I only knew the answers to questions 3, 6, and 10. Had I thought longer, I should have got numbers 5 and 8 as well, but there it is.

Incidentally, question 6 may have been wrongly-put anyway (though I still got the answer); some people think that the phrase in question only originated in or about 1964, not 1956. I certainly thought so until today.

The Kiev regime no longer has adventurers and chancers, and would-be mercenaries, lining up to volunteer, not now that a posting to the front line means a death sentence, so the regime has widened the scope of conscription, and has press-gangs operating, pulling potential cannon-fodder off the streets.

Georgia should stick to walnuts and wine, and leave war to those capable of engaging in it seriously.

For once I agree with that (usually idiotic) tweeter, “@jdpoc”.

In the old saying, “even a stopped clock is right once [or twice] per day“.

Piers Morgan talking about “where the line is” on satire, i.e. as to when should it not exist, when might it even be deemed unlawful. Of course, Morgan is just another msm moneygrubber and careerist who knows that, to continue his lucrative nonsense, he has to keep in with the Jew-Zionist cabals which, to a large extent, control and/or influence the TV industry and the msm in general.

TV shows have, for well over 60 years, “offended” the British people. No redress…

…and guess what group, more than any other, has “offended” the British people, slandered them, trashed their beliefs, culture, and way of life? That’s right…

Morgan even has the gall to claim that he supports freedom of expression, presumably excepting from that any situation where a Jew, or a group of Jews, however small in number, claims “offence” (and the “Campaign Against AntiSemitism” is really very small, just a handful of Jew-Zionists tweeting and causing trouble, making false and malicious complaints to police, Twitter, MPs, cafes or local authorities showing anti-Zionist films or hosting anti-Zionist comedians etc; but wealthy Jews stumped up £600,000+ last year so that the “CAA” could continue with what many call “lawfare” against freedom of expression).

The Church of England stopped being a spiritual organization many many years ago. The pro-Israel, pro-Jew-Zionist C. of E. under Welby is merely the gravestone on top.

Starmer-Labour’s troops are deserting

The Labour Party, under Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, is on track, arguably, to form a government in 2024 (though the fat lady has not yet sung), but that fake “popularity” is wholly by default, because we the people have, at present, a Conservative Party regime so corrupt, shambolic, and useless that even fairly hard-core former Conservative Party voters are either voting elsewhere or, in far greater numbers, abstaining in by-elections.

The “Labour surge” in the opinion polls is purely that— contempt for the Conservative Party government’s uselessness, which has been the case since the 2010 election that brought the part-Jews, David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne to power.

That shambolic inability to govern properly continued under (also part-Jewish) Theresa May and then (this becomes ridiculous) part-Jew Boris Johnson and his cronies. Then, of course, we endured a few weeks of utter nonsense under ignorant little careerist “ho” Liz Truss and her “African at Eton” Chancellor, Kwasi (aka Woollyhead Trussbanger). Liz Truss was then sacked (by any other word) and replaced by Indian money-juggler Rishi Sunak, arguably the least convincing of the lot (apart from, obviously, Liz Truss and Woollyhead Trussbanger).

In the above-noted circumstances, and after 13+ years (except during the “Covid” “panicdemic” of 2020-22) of “austerity” policies, which were actually counter-productive, it is scarcely surprising that people are more than unenthusiastic (contemptuous, despairing) about the Conservative Party.

There again, Starmer-Labour is now not even promising much of a change from the policies (if they can be so dignified) of the present Conservative Party omnishambles. In fact, the difference is mostly meaningless hot air from Starmer and, mainly, Rachel Reeves.

Labour Party rank-and-file members (who numbered, under Corbyn, about 600,000, but who now number about 385,000 and that number falling fast), may well think “what is the point in tramping round streets canvassing etc, just so that a ‘Con-lite’, Jewish-lobby, Starmer government can be installed and then carry out policies almost identical to those of Sunak?”

See, for example, https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/most-labour-voters-motivated-by-hostility-towards-government-26h8tk3xw: most present Labour voters “hostile” to the Sunak misgovernment but “unconvinced” by Starmer and his crowd. Exactly so.

This is the moment when, if we had a truly open “democracy”, a social-national party might sweep the board. However, here again we come up against the well-entrenched Jew-Zionist lobby, which makes sure (so far) that anything even mildly “national”, let alone social-national, is demonized, using all the msm puppets and controlled outlets, and ranging from news to (unfunny) comedy. One example would be Baddiel, perhaps, arguably, describable as “the unthinking man’s Jonathan Miller“.

Reverting to the semi-rigged battle between equally-misnamed “Labour” and “Conservative”, it seems to me that, in the expected 2024 General Election, the most important factor will not be ideological division, nor any enthusiasm for either System party, but how many voters will abstain, and where, and why.

The steady and fairly considerable outflow of Labour Party members will not be decisive at its present rate, not before 2025. About 5,000 per month. In 17 months (i.e. until the last possible date of the next general election), that might be 90,000, out of 385,000 members at present.

It may be that, in a general election, voter abstentions on the Con side will be fewer than at the recent by-elections, and that there may be many more than expected on the Lab side. Also, that Starmer and Rachel Reeves and Yvette Cooper will be quite literally hated so much that many may either abstain, or vote non-Labour, simply to prevent their having power.

I do not describe myself as a “conspiracy theorist”, but it is certainly true that, in the years since I have been running this blog, most of my predictions or those with which I have agreed, have indeed come to pass.

Another pro-Jewish-lobby drone, apart from anything else…

Not “insane” exactly, but signed up to a transnational conspiracy which has taken on certain shibboleths: the “trans” nonsense, the whole “Covid” “panicdemic”/”scamdemic”, the “holocaust” farrago and other Jewish-lobby propaganda, “standing with” “Ukraine” (Kiev regime), “Black Lives Matter”, “refugees welcome”, and so on.

Incidentally, interesting that “I stand with Ukraine” is a construction only ever seen otherwise in “I stand with Israel“…

My view is that there is nothing wrong anyway with being “racist” or “antisemitic” in a defensive way. There is certainly nothing unlawful about either, as such, in England, as judges have repeatedly confirmed.

See above thoughts, earlier on today’s blog post…

If you vote Labour now and/or in 2024 (not in 1926, not in 1945, not in 1966, not in 1979, not even in 1997, but now, or next year), you are voting for people such as Lisa Nandy, Keir Starmer etc, who are so intellectually dishonest that they cannot distinguish a man from a woman, cannot distinguish themselves from Sunak and his pack of idiots on policy, and who, just like the “Conservatives”, are totally in the pocket of the Israel lobby.

Is that so? I hope not. The Baltic states must be allowed to govern themselves, so long as they do not threaten Russia.

Look at the big picture as it now is.

Sanctions against Russia have mostly hurt the EU, the UK, and the USA, not Russia. Western and Central Europe is facing economic and socio-political meltdown if inflation continues to rise and incomes to drop.

Russia (unlike Ukraine) is a world nuclear power, with maybe 6,000 usable nuclear weapons; it has hundreds of millions of people, and territory nearly twice the size of the USA (and over 70 times the size of the UK).

Much of the world outside the NATO alliance is at least neutral towards Russia, and many states are with Russia on Ukraine.

Russia is benefiting financially from oil and gas sales to non-sanctions countries, and they are benefiting from trade with Russia, trade much of which was formerly USA-Russia or EU-Russia.

Ukraine simply cannot “win” against Russia, however many tanks and other pieces of equipment are supplied to the regime in Kiev. It is a logical impossibility. The only possibilities, in the medium-term, say up to 2030, are Russian victory over the whole of the eastern part of Ukraine, as well as Crimea and the Black Sea coastal zone, or a stalemate, after which US/EU/UK support for the Kiev regime will eventually fall away.

The next US President will probably scale back US support for Zelensky and his regime, and will almost certainly not increase it.

All System parties and politicians in the UK, and the rest of Europe, and even beyond (e.g. Australia, New Zealand) are guilty.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12342491/Controversial-plan-relocate-English-National-Opera-outside-London-postponed-three-years-Arts-Council-gives-2029-move.html

How ridiculous, to move a successful company like English National Opera out of its long-established home to some provincial centre.

Most countries concentrate their cultural treasures in terms of opera, ballet etc in one city, usually the national capital, a concentration of cultural forces. Moscow, Paris, etc. Not all, but the exceptions are countries which were only unified (or created) in the 19thC (Germany and Italy, the USA).

By all means tour around the UK, but base yourself in London. Also, the concentration of cultural companies in London leads to cross-fertilization of the arts.

The most important thing is to keep a bloc of white Northern Europeans intact, because that bloc can be the foundation for a later “super-race”, one far ahead of where we are now. That foundation has to be “post-Aryan” and white European; the other races and groups cannot provide such a foundation. The later “super-race” will be a quantum leap in human evolution. The other races and ethnicities will be left behind, just as, compared to our world of today, previous forms of humanity have been left behind.

Israel-puppet Rachel Reeves. She would never acknowledge that a large number of organizations including banks and law firms have been promoting —and, in many cases, over-promoting— women for virtue-signalling and box-ticking reasons for about 30 years. I myself have seen many examples.

Apart from that, the ridiculous woman implicated in the latest Coutts/NatWest scandal was getting £2M a year for that job, and had —and still has— several other very extremely lucrative appointments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Rose_(banker); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Rose_(banker)#External_appointments.

I think that it is time to impose an income cap, at least on mere office-holders (as distinct from genuine entrepreneurs such as Dyson).

One correction: as far as I can see, the only “neo-Nazi problem” that Ukraine has is that so few “neo-Nazis” seem to exist there. If that is wrong, why do they tolerate Zelensky’s corrupt, brutal, and shambolic NWO/ZOG tyranny?

Interesting. Usually, the “instructor” in such a situation would be the one from the army of the state, not from the private military company. However, who knows from where that “instructor” has come, in career terms? Russian Spetsnaz? The post-Soviet VDV? These are not fake “mercenaries” as once found in Soldier of Fortune etc. They are a very serious fighting force.

Sad report

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66317374

A historic royal census, known as “swan upping”, has revealed a 40% drop in the number of cygnets on the River Thames, compared with last year.

The decline has been blamed on avian flu but also a growing problem of violence, including shootings, catapult attacks and dogs killing swans.

[BBC]

I was saddened to hear, on BBC Radio 3 news this morning, that same report, i.e. that the number of swans counted on the Thames this year is about 40% lower than in previous years, and that, worse yet, part of the decline is because of “increased violence towards swans“. Jesus Christ! What sort of horrible bastards are cruel to swans?! They should be flayed alive if caught mistreating swans.

Having said that, there was always a small amount of such badness. I remember rowing my inflatable boat, with someone from my school, down the then-still-closed river Kennet in 1971, and seeing a dead swan in the water. The swan was obviously not long dead. That happened somewhere between Newbury and Reading. Not long after having seen the dead swan, we passed an unpleasant-looking young man on the bank, not older than about 20, with some kind of rifle or air-rifle. Were the two sights connected? I think probably they were.

Incidentally, the Kennet, and connected Kennet and Avon, was then only navigable by carrying the boat around disused locks, over barbed-wire fences etc. Since then, volunteers have been able to re-open the waterway to traffic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennet_and_Avon_Canal.

As if “Jack Monroe” is going to do any of that…

She hopes that her critics will tire of trying to enlighten the public (including the 397 utter mugs still —as of today— sending her a total of several thousand pounds per month via Patreon). If the critics tire, then she can resume (on a larger scale) her decade-long career of “grifting” and defrauding and embezzling and “cosplaying”, as may be convenient for her; maybe even get onto Question Time again (which does not usually pay, but does tend to validate her with the msm in general and with the uninformed majority of the public.

Ignorant Jewish talking head Emily Maitlis, hugely overpaid by the BBC thanks to the outdated and tyrannical “licence fee” system, wilfully fails to see the bigger point about freedom of expression. I can only assume that she is unaware that other people, less famous than Nigel Farage, have also been “cancelled” for having the “wrong” views (i.e. anti-System views), people such as Mark Collett, Laura Towler, Sam Melia (all of Patriotic Alternative), and others. They all lost their personal bank accounts, and they were not “cancelled” by Coutts but by standard high street banks such as Barclays and (I think) Halifax.

You hear much (and rightly so) about the attempted bank account cancellation of Farage, but where were Laurence Fox, the “Free Speech Union”, Toby Young etc when those other victims had their bank accounts cancelled? Where were those “champions of free speech” when Alison Chabloz was imprisoned for posting online legitimate satire about Jewish and Zionist behaviour, or during my continuing persecution at the hands of the Jew-Zionist lobby? Absent.

Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby…

I agree on every single one of those.

Ukraine (Kiev regime) cannot win this war; indeed, without having been propped up by vast amounts of money, arms, ammunition, clothing, food etc from the West, it would already be totally on its knees.

He left out a fourth aspect— Jewish-Zionist control (of banks, businesses and commerce, legal services, newspapers, television, radio, and pseudo-democratic politics).

Scotland

Pakistani “Scotsman”, SNP Leader and First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf, now proposes the flooding of Scotland with new huge numbers of Pakistani and other migrant-invaders.

If that were ever to happen as proposed, many migrant-invaders would take up Scottish citizenship purely in order to, sooner or later, relocate to England. That in turn would entail the building of…a wall…to keep them out. Certainly the construction of border fortifications.

In reality, though, it will almost certainly never happen. Even bearing in mind the pseudo-nationalist idiocy that leads to nearly half of the Scottish electorate voting SNP (that’s right— the SNP has never garnered even half of Scottish votes), this must surely give even die-hard SNP supporters pause.

Yousaf may just have cost the SNP a goodly portion of its votes.

I usually steer clear of commenting on Scottish politics, but think that faux-“Independence” is losing traction.

The three by-elections of 20 July 2023

Uxbridge and South Ruislip

The result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uxbridge_and_South_Ruislip_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

As I predicted on the blog a couple of days ago, this was a “battle of the apathies”. Complete “Conservative” omnishambles meets Labour mediocrity (both on the national and constituency levels).

The successful Conservative candidate drew a veil over both the non-performance of the Rishi Sunak government and the egregiously poor behaviour (and capabilities) of ex-MP “Boris” Johnson; the candidate just kept hitting at the ridiculous Sadiq Khan ULEZ scheme [“Ultra Low Emission Zone”], and saying very little else about anything.

In a sense that concentration on ULEZ shows how meaningless the supposed “democracy” of the UK now is. The ULEZ idea and policy was first mooted by none other than “Boris”-idiot and the Conservative Party in London. Quite apart from that, the new Con Party MP, one Steve Tuckwell [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Tuckwell] will be able to exercise precisely zero influence over the ULEZ scheme and Sadiq Khan.

The Labour Party candidate, Danny Beales, was arguably not a good candidate in the particular constituency, an outer London suburb. Gay, a former councillor in inner-city Camden, and a graduate of the London School of Economics.

That said, the result was close— 495 votes decided it. Both the LibDem voters (526, fifth place), and/or the Green Party voters (893, third place), had they voted tactically, could have prevented the narrow Con Party victory. Neither Greens nor LibDems had a chance of winning, and both lost their deposits, along with the other 13 candidates, all of whom could be described as either “minor” or “joke” candidates.

The actor Laurence Fox, for Reclaim, did well, in a minor way, to come fourth, not far behind the Green. Still, this was really between Con Party (13,965 votes, 45.2%) and Labour (13,470, 43.6%). The other 15 parties and independents only scored 11.2% between them.

It does puzzle me why LibDem voters in particular did not all vote tactically. Some did, plainly, looking at previous election results where the LibDem vote was higher by far (peaking at 20% in 2010, though only 6.3% in 2019), but not enough.

Why did 526 LibDems bother to trot down to vote, knowing that their candidate had no chance? Even if they hated both Con and Lab, and so were unwilling to vote for either, why bother to vote? As someone said of golf, “a good walk spoiled“.

So a Conservative Party win, though scarcely a ringing endorsement.

Turnout was about 2/3 of that in 2019, and indeed the previous elections. I am assuming from that that many former Conservative voters, in what was since creation in 2010 a fairly safe Conservative seat (a new seat on these boundaries), just threw up their hands in disgust at both main System parties, could find no other home for their votes, and so “voted with their feet”— abstained.

Selby and Ainsty

The result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selby_and_Ainsty_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The successful Labour candidate is 25, once again (like the Labour candidate at Uxbridge) gay (seems that it is almost compulsory now in the Labour Party), and has only worked for 18 months since leaving university. Interestingly, those 18 months were spent working at the Confederation of British Industry, a more usual place in which to find young Conservatives, surely?

Also, he spent some months in 2019 and 2020 working with Wes Streeting, the “centrist” (Labour Friends of Israel) MP. So it seems that Keir Mather will fit easily into the Keir Starmer Labour Party. Not much else is yet known about him: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Mather.

Why did Mather win what had previously been regarded as a safe Conservative seat? As at Uxbridge, the implication is surely obvious: former Conservative voters were appalled at both major System parties, and so preferred to stay home rather than vote Labour (or elsewhere).

Mather scored 46% of the overall vote, as against 34.3% scored by his Con Party opponent.

Since the creation of the seat in 2010, the Conservative Party had won easily all elections, scoring between 49.4% (2010) and 60.3% (2019). Labour, however, had scored only around 25% of the vote, except in 2017, under Corbyn, when the Labour Party candidate managed over 34%.

The key here, as with Uxbridge, lies in the turnout. The by-election turnout was only 44.8%, whereas in 2019 it was 71.7% (and in previous elections, not dissimilar).

The implication, again, as at Uxbridge, is that former Conservative Party voters, in a formerly safe Conservative area, simply decided not to vote.

There was obviously a degree of tactical voting at Selby; the LibDem vote went down from 8.6% to 3.3%; without tactical voting, the result would have been much closer but not, in my view, different.

Incidentally, the LibDems only managed sixth place, no doubt because many otherwise LibDems voted Labour. The third place went to the Greens, whose candidate was the only one of the minor candidates to save his deposit (5.1%).

I was interested to see that a “Yorkshire Party” candidate, one Mike Jordan, who failed to fill in his nomination papers properly and so was a blank space (not even “Independent”) on the ballot paper, yet managed to score 4.2%. Not bad in the circumstances, and maybe a sign that localism, or at least regionalism, may be resurgent as central government falters and fails.

The Selby contest had other things in common with that at Uxbridge— contempt for the former MP (at Selby, he had stepped down apparently in order to damage Sunak and his party, and after having been passed over for a peerage); the fact that both seats were 2010 creations on their present boundaries; and of course the fact that the public are both despairing and angry at the overall non-performance by Sunak and his Cabinet. Mass immigration, migration invasion, cost of living increases, inflation, crime, NHS defaults etc.

The result was that Labour won at Selby, and very nearly won at Uxbridge, only by default. There is no enthusiasm at all for the Labour Party and its non-policies (basically the same as the Conservative Party policies), but equally there is no enthusiasm (and no respect) for Sunak and his Cabinet of (mainly) non-Brits (Indians, a black or half-caste or two, the odd Jew). These were by-elections. The ruling party is inevitably on the back foot.

Starmer’s strategy seems to be not to rock the boat now that Labour is ahead in the opinion polls. It is hard for Sunak and Con Party to score a hit on Labour’s battleship simply because Labour policy now so closely mirrors that of the Con Party. Almost indistinguishable. If the Conservative Party attacks Labour policy, it is to a large extent criticizing its own policy. In a sense, brilliant… but also dispiriting and pointless.

Somerton and Frome

The result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerton_and_Frome_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The LibDem candidate, Sarah Dyke [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Dyke] won easily, as predicted. I blogged briefly about her a couple of days ago. Her vote-share of 56.4%, as against the Conservative candidate’s 26.2%, mirrors in reverse almost exactly the result at the 2019 General Election.

Third place went to the Greens, with a fairly sizeable vote (10.2%). Reform UK beat Labour and three minor candidates for fourth place, but still lost the deposit, with 3.4%.

In a mostly affluent and bucolic area of this sort, Labour has little chance, and its vote has dropped below 5% in the past, though it scored 17.2% in 2017 (under Corbyn) and 12.9% in 2019. It is clear that, realising that Labour had no chance, former Labour voters voted tactically at the by-election, and that Labour’s 2.6% vote reflected that.

Turnout was, as at the other by-elections yesterday, pathetic— 44.23%. That compares to 75.6% in 2019, and turnouts in previous election which only once dropped below 70%, and which once exceeded 82%.

The LibDems held Somerton and Frome until 2015, so were always going to have a chance in the seat, once the “Con Coalition” of 2010-2015 faded from immediate memory, though the damage from that was still evident in 2019, at which election the LibDems scored only 26.2% (exactly the same as the Conservative Party vote at yesterday’s by-election).

The conclusion is pretty clear: the Conservative voters of 2019 either stayed home yesterday, or switched to the LibDems, Former Labour voters switched to LibDem to hit out at the Sunak misgovernment.

As at the other two by-elections, the contempt many apparently felt for the ex-MP, Warburton, was certainly another important factor, though perhaps not the most important.

Overall conclusion as to the main System parties in the light of the by-elections

The LibDems only have a chance to gain seats in rural/affluent parts of southern or south-western England. I do not see them recovering in any big way elsewhere.

The Conservative Party government is toast, surely. It will have to fall back on its hard core, mostly fairly comfortably-off homeowners aged 70+.

Electoral Calculus is currently predicting only 100 Con seats at the expected 2024 General Election: see https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/homepage.html.

475 seats for Labour. That is “elected dictatorship”.

I just tried the “user-defined poll” at Electoral Calculus. My guesses resulted in only 61 seats for the Conservative Party.

What about Labour? Well, I detect no real enthusiasm for Labour, which means that there is every chance that the new MP for Selby may only be an MP for about a year, and will then have to find a less well-paid and less interesting (?) job.

More seriously, the only way that Indian money-juggler Rishi Sunak could claw back some electoral support would be to STOP the boats, CUT BACK the main (i.e. “legal”) mass immigration, DEPORT hundreds of thousands, RENATIONALIZE water, rail and possibly the energy utilities, and start to really bat for Britain.

Those 2019 Conservative Party voters might return to the Con fold, but only if they see some action; words are played-out.

Still, none of the three by-election seats are natural Labour territory.

Pretty hard, though, for an Indian whose Cabinet is mainly non-white, or Jewish, and who worked for the predatory Goldman Sachs bankers (and so is a globalist “libertarian” by instinct).

It seems to me a 50-50 chance that the Conservative Party MPs will ditch Sunak before the next general election, but if they do, who on Earth can they try to present to the public as a credible leader?

As for attacking Starmer, the only things that might work would be to use American-style personal attacks, and to focus on his complete mendacity, his broken promises, on his “taking the knee” to the “Black Lives Matter” thugs, and his being completely in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby (the only thing is— so are the “Conservatives”…).

Conclusion, then— Labour will probably win in 2024 by default, but if some real movement on the above-designated issues were to happen, it might be a different story…

There are really only two realistic possibilities: either she is Johnson’s secret daughter (one of them) or she was being screwed by him. It now turns out that she was only a kind of temp anyway, covering the job usually done by a recent mother. Maternity cover.

Britain is so screwed, it is hard to believe.

As for “Baroness” Chapman, she was an MP for 9 years (2010-2019), and then (having been voted out as MP) was elevated to the Lords on Starmer’s nomination, having previously done sweet FA by way of work in her life except a short time as the constituency manager for ghastly careerist MP Alan Milburn. So she can shut up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Chapman.

She is the mother of children, and that (and presumably being a “home-maker”) is a very honourable estate, but it is not the “real life experience” of work in the outer world, as per that clip.

As for Johnny Mercer MP, I have found him a big disappointment as MP, but I think that he can claim a great deal more “life experience” than “Baroness” Chapman, let alone that epicene little creature who is now the MP for Selby and Ainsty.

Many people on Twitter are incredibly ignorant and at the same time very dogmatic. I just saw a tweet saying that the Selby creature is “2-3 years older than Margaret Roberts [i.e. Margaret Thatcher] when she became an MP...”.

In fact, wrong, and on two counts. First, Margaret Roberts was born in 1925, and became an MP in 1959, shortly before her 34th birthday. She had married in 1951, so fought her first successful first election as Margaret Thatcher and not Margaret Roberts as claimed.

Well, there it is. Effete, epicene little “Labour MP” is going to support Starmer, Rachel Reeves etc in continuing the policy (policies?) laid down by the Con Coalition of David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, and now the Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

Anyone who thinks that Starmer-Labour will be in any way an improvement on the “Conservative” omnishambles of a Government is sadly mistaken; in fact, deluded.

Actually, listening to Keir Mather there, I think that “Lord Charles” would have sounded more credible.

[Lord Charles, with Ray Alan]

To be honest, my first thought on seeing and hearing Keir Mather is that he seemed to be in need of a good kick.

Rommel in fact died on 14 October 1944, but his death was connected with the attempted putsch on and subsequent to 20 July 1944, signalled by the attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler on the same day, 79 years ago.

The motivations of the plotters were varied and, in some cases, complex. Some (including Canaris, Rommel etc) acted at least partly out of noble motivation. Treason is often thus.

Valid points, the least valid being that of freelance scribbler and talking head, Marina Purkiss, though her comment is in tune with the attitude of many, who think that all that matters is “how people did” in life (i.e. whether they became wealthy and/or famous), and that temporary worldly “success” validates, eg, a nonsensical “degree”, and/or falling standards made “OK” by award inflation.

Incidentally, Marina Purkiss thinks that “alright” is how one spells “all right“. Her “degree” in “marketing” from the University of Portsmouth seems to have failed to correct that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Purkiss.

It may be that the time has come to revisit the whole mediaeval “degree” concept: first “degree”, “Master’s degree”, “Doctorate”, which designations align with the mediaeval guild idea— apprentice, journeyman, master craftsman (also later imported into freemasonry, of course).

Universities should promote both learning and research, and least of all be what they mostly now are, degree mills (of varying quality) where mainly young people get a piece of paper entitling them to at least try to make a living in various ways.

In the United States, they try to make people who are aiming at becoming medical doctors, or lawyers, less narrow by making them take a so-called “undergraduate degree” (lasting four years rather than the usual English three years) before even embarking on their professionally-focussed medical or legal studies.

The result of that is of doubtful utility (I having met numerous American lawyers, though not many doctors). It also means that the cost of becoming a doctor or lawyer in the USA, especially at the more prestigious institutions, is prohibitive. 7+ years of expense.

The cost, including subsistence, of going to somewhere like Harvard Medical School is at least USD $100,000 a year (about 3x an equivalent British example).

I am and always was far from being a supporter of Corbyn, but he makes some good points at times.

Liz Kendall, yet another Labour Friends of Israel MP-drone (and I think part-Jewish). Labour has nothing to say, nothing at all. Its trump card, though, is that it is not, nominally, the Conservative Party. Just that. Nothing more.

Labour MPs think that the Labour Party not being the Conservative Party (though pretty much espousing similar policies, or even the very same policies) will be enough to clinch the expected 2024 General Election. They may even be correct in that, but the fat lady has not yet sung.

They only have 2-3 months in which to make any substantial advance. After that, the snows of winter will come again.

Nicola Richards has announced that she will not be standing at the expected 2024 General Election. As a nominally “Conservative” candidate, she would have had almost no chance of re-election anyway: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bromwich_East_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

I see now that Nicola Richards was appointed PPS to Penny Mordaunt in 2022, which makes me wonder whether Ms. Mordaunt agrees with the Zionist views of Nicola Richards.

Nicola Richards was also appointed, in 2022, Co-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism.

Nicola Richards has argued for the UK to proscribe Wagner Group [PMC Wagner].

Oh well, she will be gone after the next General Election. Good,.

Incidentally, National Front executive Martin Webster stood as candidate in that constituency in February 1974, scoring 7% of the vote (placed third after Labour and Conservative). I myself met Webster a couple of times in 1975, once at the NF HQ in some featureless part of South London in or near Thornton Heath, and once at Chelsea Old Town Hall. A controversial figure; hard to read.

Pedal to the metal…

My quarrel with the “intervention” in Afghanistan is not that it happened, but that the “West” (NWO/ZOG) had no intention to rule the country, nor to improve it. What the “West” should have done was to ignore all local political and paramilitary leaders, eliminate them if they refused to knuckle down, destroy all armed elements within the country (including all individuals carrying arms more than 500 yards from their own homes), then rule the country directly and, if necessary, forcefully. Allow their Islamic religion but eliminate those using it as a cloak to attack modern European-origined civilization. Educate children, including girls.

Alexander the Great took over many countries, but then also ruled them, as did, in their day, the Romans, the British and other European peoples, the Soviet Union etc.

Seizing a country is just the first step. Establishing a lasting imperium is also essential. Napoleon understood that. He remade Europe in his own preferred image.

Afghanistan was too tough a nut in the end for Alexander’s successors, for the Mughals, and also the British, but the British of the 19thC did not have helicopters and drones.

There was an attempt, in and after 1979, by Soviet forces, to rule Afghanistan, to turn it into a semi-Soviet country. That failed partly, perhaps mainly, because the USA funnelled arms, ammunition, and money to the mujaheddin (including Osama bin Laden). The Americans interfered, and without that interference, the Soviet forces may well have prevailed.

The Americans (and Brits etc), never tried to properly rule Afghanistan or found a new society there (not outside parts of Kabul, at least), and never tried to fully suppress rebellion.

This is what happens when the msm validates cretins of that sort. It emboldens them.

Jesus H. Christ! He’s getting worse…If this continues, that stupid Kamala Harris creature might actually have to take over as President. We really are in uncharted waters from that moment.

What goes around comes around…

Boy, 15, walks free from court despite battering David Quigley, 69, who was left with a brain bleed and died three weeks later.

Britain in 2023.

How long will it be before British people generally understand that we are in the opening stages of a multiform civil war? Not a race war, as such, and not just a traditional civil war based on ideology, but a hybrid type, encompassing both of those and also social aspects.

One aspect that is relatively new is that it is precisely the wealthy and powerful parts of society that are encouraging the incipient chaos, so that they can profit by that chaos and then impose a “multicultural” police state. The “Covid” “panicdemic” was a test run for that.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

I agree with that.

The “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe” set up dozens, possibly hundreds, of Twitter “sock accounts” many years ago, and has continued to do so. Some look like genuine accounts with a few even having a couple of hundred Twitter “followers”. They praise “Jack Monroe”, her non-existent “activism”, and her ghastly “recipes” such as mixing tinned peaches with chickpeas and curry powder to make a kind of pseudo-Indian dinner. Mahashma Gandhi?

The aim of “Jack Monroe” is to try to keep her name appearing online for something other than cheating the less-intelligent members of the public out of their money.

Incidentally, as of today, 397 utter mugs are still sending “Jack Monroe” a total of thousands of pounds each month, via Patreon.

My provisional view is that the System set up GB News as “controlled opposition”, meaning that it was supposed to act as a safety valve by blowing off steam (public anger) at various issues, but (crucially) avoiding “antisemitism”. Look at who set it up as first Chairman— Andrew Neil.

Having said that, I think that it has spiralled out of System control to some extent. That is what happens. Look at Father Gapon in the St. Petersburg of 1905. The fake “resistance” sometimes mutates into real resistance.

The public were supposed to be bamboozled by GB News, but by some quasi-divine grace, the just anger of the public has, to some limited extent, taken over GB News presenters and agendas.

Money money money…

Rachel Reeves: member and vice-Chair, Labour Friends of Israel, supporter of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation (connected with the contrived “holocaust” farrago), wrote part of an Israeli propaganda book etc. Family income (herself and husband) of around half a million pounds a year. Suspected of being part-Jewish.

Still think that any “Labour”-label government under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper is going to be any better than the present fake “Conservative” shambles? 99% the same.

For a start, tax transnational enterprises trading here but domiciled elsewhere.

Then take away Zelensky’s ricebowl— stop sending billions in money, arms, and the rest to the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.

Then stop importing useless non-whites. Then get rid of the ones already here.

Then remove the hundreds of thousands of fake “refugees” from Ukraine who are here. Few are genuine refugees, and few are without money.

Then stop wasting money on useless projects such as HS2.

Start with the above, then keep going.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BookTrust

BookTrust was founded in 1921 by Hugh WalpoleStanley Unwin, Maurice Marston and Harold Macmillan…”

On Friday 17 December 2010 it was announced that the government would cut its entire £13 million annual grant to BookTrust’s English bookgifting schemes. The schemes, including Bookstart, Booktime and Booked Up, provided more than two million packs of books to English children annually.”

The priorities of the part-Jews, David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne…

Until removed or otherwise dealt with, the migrant-invaders should be prevented from breeding, both among themselves and with members of the indigenous population.

Hot weather

Just saw a weather report. Apparently, parts of Sicily are now the hottest they have been since…1957. So not quite unprecedentedly hot. I suppose people will say that that proves nothing. I wonder.

Ha ha! “Jacktivism“…I like that! (cf. “Supertanskiii”).

A couple of weeks old now. If that is still so in 2024, we could be seeing the end of the Conservative Party as a major political force. That would leave a vacuum…and Nature abhors a vacuum, as we know…

Another sign that the expected or possible Labour government from some date in 2024 will be, if heavily successful at the General Election, an “elected dictatorship” even worse than that of Blair/Brown.

Damning.

Lord Reith’s dictum, “Inform, Educate, Entertain” (in that order) remains valid. The BBC has cast it aside.

They see it all right, but they want it to happen, or at least the real and/or hidden ruling circles do.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

“...Coudenhove-Kalergi intended to influence Europe’s policies on immigration in order to create a “populace devoid of identity” which would then supposedly be ruled by a Jewish elite.

[Wikipedia].

The present Conservative Party thoroughly deserves to lose the 2024 General Election, but anyone who thinks that Labour-label, under a pack of Jewish-lobby puppets (Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc) is going to be even slightly better is sadly deluded.

As for Yvette Cooper herself, she was an outright fraudster during the main MP expenses scandal, along with her husband, Bilderberg attendee Ed Balls, and is totally in the pocket of the Israel lobby. She wants even more non-white immigrants (migrant invaders) to arrive. Dead eyes, dead voice, dead soul.

Were I in Putin’s shoes, I should first of all destroy Ukraine’s rail system, then its electrical-generation and distribution system (the Russians are now, very belatedly, doing that), then go all-out to eliminate Zelensky and his cabal, something that should have been done on day 1 of the war.

So far, most of Kiev has not been heavily attacked.

A pleasant tweet. The animal kingdom has more potential than most people realize.

If so, and/or if proven, WW3 gets even closer.

Biden got there first, and on his own!

Obviously, only a small section of Philadelphia will be like that, but it should not exist at all. I believe, from what I have read, that those “zombies” are users of the drug Fentanyl, but for me, looking at their degradation, the mystery is why they use it at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fentanyl.

I recall when I was first in the USA as an adult, in 1989, asking a Federal employee (later my first wife), as we drove through some unpleasant section of Harlem in New York City, why there were so many suspicious-looking, mainly black, individuals congregating on corners, pretty obviously dealing drugs, without being moved on by the police. The answer? Constitutional right of free assembly (First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution).

For me, the law (including constitutional law) is there to serve the people, “for the welfare of the people is the supreme law” [Cicero]: salus populi lex suprema esto. If the law does not do that, it must be changed, however old and venerable it is.

I only heard of Charlotte Proudman recently. What a very strange woman, and I published recently on the blog one or two of her tweets.

What puzzles me is why the new Chief of the Bar Council, one Nick Vineall KC, has endorsed what seems to be a “woke” agenda. I have to say that he himself looks rather odd: https://www.counselmagazine.co.uk/articles/chair-of-the-bar-2023-nick-vineall-kc.

Vineall has, I read on Twitter, attacked some tweets or other comments which have been critical of Charlotte Proudman.

Well, there it is. I do not regret that I decided to cease practice at the Bar in 2008 (though my wrongful and unlawful disbarment, at the instigation of a pack of Jews, did not happen until 2016).

The Bar of England and Wales, looking at it overall, is now little better than a dustbin, like much of England itself.

Another secular pseudo-saint…

A reminder that the appeal fund to support Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch), both while he sits in prison and upon his release (sometime next year), is still running.

I blogged about that ghastly place, Northstowe, before: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/01/17/diary-blog-17-january-2023/

It was alleged that a possibly corrupt local councillor, a Nigerian woman, was (and is) partly to blame (see the above-linked blog post).

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/15/london-drummond-street-euston-little-india-south-asian-restaurants

Drummond Street, a south Asian hub, is under threat from HS2 works at Euston station in London but now moves are afoot to revive the area.

I used to eat there occasionally in the 1980s, along with two now-deceased people: Ig Avsey, lecturer in Russian and noted translator of Dostoyevsky, and Guy Churchill, retired academic and one-time SAS soldier (mainly in Malaya in the 1950s).

I think that I have blogged about the pair before: Ig a good friend and one-time teacher of mine (at the nearby language school, part of the University of Westminster, which I attended p/t in the 1980s), and Guy Churchill, a mixture of resigned though amused cynicism and English eccentricity.

Guy surprised me (and Ig, I think, with whom he was more friendly) by suddenly getting separated and/or divorced at (?) maybe 70 (he looked older), while Ig surprised me even more by later getting married, a second marriage, to a young Russian woman he had met at, I think, a bus stop in Riga. My wife and I attended the wedding reception in 2002, where the bride, 20-something, looked out of place among the guests, 40-something and older (many 50+ or 60+).

I was already acquainted with a few of the other guests, including Gerald Brooke, who was exchanged in 1969 for the Krogers (Cohens), long-term Soviet KGB “illegals” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Cohen_(spy)]

Brooke had spent 4 years in Soviet custody; in the Lubyanka, and then at Vladimir prison, about 100 miles east of Moscow.

Both Ig and Guy were rather eccentric. Ig’s main room was full of huge railway clocks, while Guy’s fridge (in the old person’s apartment in Vauxhall Bridge Road he took on after his separation/divorce c.1989) contained only a 6-pack of lager beer. Guy also had another odd habit, one I have never seen anyone else display— he would break off the filter tips from cigarettes before smoking them.

Strange to think back on times past, though it is probably a bad habit when one does it as much as I do (and have always done). Saturn in Scorpio…

As for Drummond Street, there is a similar street in Manhattan, E. 6th St. All Indian restaurants, or was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry_Row]. I visited that street too, once only, around 1990 or so.

[Strange synchronicity: after I wrote the above, including the sentence about the Krogers, I turned on Talking Pictures TV, and they were showing Ring of Spies, a 1963 British film (released 1964) about the Krogers and the Portland spy case (1953-1961). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Spies.

Not a bad film in a low-key way, and it keeps pretty much to the known facts of the case.

Also interesting from a social history point of view are the bits of London shown, that now look very different compared to how they were in 1963. Examples include the area of the Tolworth Tower near Surbiton, outer London (the building is still under construction in a scene from the film), and the 1.5-acre public roof garden of the old Derry & Toms department store in Kensington, which later became a nightclub, and later still a restaurant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolworth#Tolworth_Tower; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derry_%26_Toms; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensington_Roof_Gardens].

Good God! Terrible. I recently saw again one of Monty Don’s fine garden shows, which covered some gardens in and around Athens.

Strange to see various talking heads on msm terribly pleased at the terroristic attack on te Crimean Bridge, an attack which left a young girl injured and orphaned, her parents having been killed. I suppose that the talking heads would not be so happy were a bridge in, say the Bristol Channel or Humber Estuary to be blown up.

Good grief. Looks like they need a sergeant-major…

I agree with tweeter no.2. As to tweet no. 1, that is quite a force (if it exists)— 100,000 men, and 900 tanks (about 3x the number of tanks Rommel had, at max strength, in North Africa in 1942).

Lambs to the slaughter. I regret that, despite the fact that I recognize that this is a war Russia has to win, whatever “victory” looks like.
