No, it is an escalation. Given the bizarre timing of the introduction of the muzzle edicts, when even official stats show the virus fast diminishing, when can it possibly be withdrawn and under what circs? This is intended for the long term. https://t.co/fTs0iUfl5q
To fan the embers of a cooling burnt-out panic. The social psychologists and other hidden persuaders know how to herd a flock. Brilliant stroke to claim that muzzle-wearing saves lives of others, so making it a communitarian action, and dissenters into cruel inconsiderate people. https://t.co/d8OU3gOozY
For not above the 20th time, an interference with free choice in this scale requires far more persuasive evidence, both of the scale of the alleged danger( vastly overstated) and the effectiveness of the measure ( vastly overstated) https://t.co/IQlhadLs1m

Peter Hitchens is right to keep “banging on” about all of the lies and mistakes around the “Coronavirus” situation in the UK. The virus itself is scarcely even an issue now, in reality, but the repressive measures taken to (supposedly) contain it are being strengthened even as the virus ceases to be present in much of the country; in fact, in many parts of the UK, “Coronavirus” has always been something happening to other people in other places, and read about in newspapers (if anyone still reads them), or seen on the —now terminally-boring— BBC News propaganda.
Thought about the UK and the whole “Western” world today…
“We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening a mob with the news that grass is green.” [G.K. Chesterton]
I have so little confidence in the cultural level of most British people today (I take no direct interest in most of the other rabble tribes that live on these islands) that I suppose that I should link to Wikipedia in case some people have no idea who G.K. Chesterton even was…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._K._Chesterton

.@MLewisLawyer confirms he has been asked to represent Panorama's John Ware and others in a possible legal action against @jeremycorbyn following the Labour leader's statement today.
It was obvious from the start that Keir Starmer is totally in the pocket of the Jew/Israel/Zionist lobby. His wife is a Jewish lawyer, and their children are being brought up as Jewish. I understand that they have “buy to let” properties.
Oh, this is Lewis on Twitter, by the way:

More about Labour
Under Keir Starmer, Labour has recovered from the Jew-orchestrated msm anti-Corbyn barrage of last year, which led to Labour’s opinion poll ratings bumping along the bottom, hugely behind the misnamed “Conservatives”. However that may be, Labour is still 5-10 points adrift.
I see little popular enthusiasm for Labour, even as this most incompetent government lurches from lie to stupid policy to muzzling the population to scandal to more lies. Indeed, Starmer has nothing to say except to say that the “Conservatives” should do what they are doing, but harder and better. Underwhelming.
Prospects in UK politics
It is clear that, despite a government so incompetent that even its own party members are disgusted by it, the Boris-idiot/Dominic Cummings regime is here to stay, at least for the next couple of years. The 80-seat Commons majority guarantees that, pretty much.
The Labour Party, like the Conservative Party, is now back under what amounts to Jewish lobby control or strong influence. Labour is now just a rubbish “alternative”. That was in most respects true under Corbyn, but at least Labour was to some extent anti-Zionist.
I think that my assessment of Corbyn, 4 years ago, has been proven correct: yes, anti-Zionist, but still willing to play the Jews’ tune when it comes to the “holocaust” farrago. Weak. Corbyn was also willing to see the UK swamped by the non-white “ethnics”.
Corbyn was at root not sufficiently or properly ideological. His academic record was poor, his work record almost non-existent. Apart from a couple of years bumming around aged about 19, mainly in Jamaica, Cuba and South America, he knows little of the world, as far as can be seen.
Also, Corbyn’s economic and social knowledge is very shallow. One of his ex-wives says that he rarely if ever reads a book. Any book.
Starmer? Well, as noted above, in effect a fully paid-up member of the Friends of Israel cabal, though he seems not to be on their official list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Friends_of_Israel#2016_onwards; probably a freemason too. He is an enemy of the British people from the start.
As it stands, Labour supports almost all the policies of the Boris-idiot government of fools. Hard to think what of substance Labour would change, were it in power, though Starmer is probably a better administrator than Boris-idiot. Well, that after all would scarcely be a difficult challenge!
Boris-idiot has no real ideas beyond schoolboy ones such as bridges across the sea etc. “Boris” has no idea how to administer anything at all, and has never done so. He is basically a part-Jew public entertainer whose jokes are rapidly falling very flat with the public.
The economic hit which is coming, largely because of the “lockdown” and facemask nonsense supported by both Government and Opposition, will strain the rivets of the society and state to the utmost over the next 2+ years. The NWO/ZOG System does not much care, controlling as it does the 2-3 “main parties”. The ZOG idea is “where can they (the voters) go?”
In principle, the answer should be “we need a social-national party”. The problems are that, first, the anti-democratic laws and institutions Blair laid down (Electoral Commission, Equalities Commission etc) make it almost impossible to have a functioning real social-national party.
Beyond that, one has to look at the British people. They are not at present the material from which a real party, such as the NSDAP of the 1920s, could be formed. They are mostly interested in those new opiates of the people, sports and msm “celebrity” nonsense. In some ways, we are in “Weimar”, but in other ways not.
I have, in earlier blog posts, set out my view, that the social-national elements need to concentrate in one area of the country, creating a Schwerpunkt. That may include the creation of a party, whether registered as such or not. A political party, however, cannot be the sole focus.
Alison Chabloz on Bitchute internet radio
An interesting discussion, conducted with Alison Chabloz and others, on one of the few social-national internet platforms of any value:
Peter Hitchens addresses the Leicester Coronavirus (supposed) “hot spot”:
Have I said that @bachcyw? I have said that they cannot end it until they admit it was a mistake, and last Sunday I predicted the use of the meaningless increase in recorded ‘infections’ to maintain fear levels. https://t.co/MTuI4Qwyez
Claim the people who predicted millions of lives would be lost if their advice ( which was, alas followed) was not followed. But they offer not a scrap of real evidence. https://t.co/fEVwmo1SPE
Yes, it must be hard for the termites eating away at British society to reconcile support for (mostly fake) “refugees”, and also for mass immigration of backward peoples into the UK, with support for contemporary decadence.
CHOP chop. Antifa militia shoot two brilliant aspiring brain surgeons. Slightly awkward incident in #SeattleAutonomousZone. How are the fake news media going to blame Trump and the police for THIS? https://t.co/gBDPwwdvLz
In the end, the USA will become some kind of dictatorship or near-dictatorship. Maybe oligarchic, maybe not. All the elements are there, just under the surface. The overwhelming power of Federal institutions and agencies such as the FBI, the long-time supervening-power of Federal laws and regulations over State or local ones (eg via the notorious “Commerce Clause” of the US Constitution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause.
Then you have the huge size of the USA, and its equally large population: about 328 million people in nearly 4 million square miles. The EU (even without the UK) has more people (450 million) but in a smaller area (1.6 million square miles); but the EU is not (yet) one state.
Very large states are rarely very democratic: in the contemporary world, China, Russia. The EU has become less democratic as the states comprising it have increased in number and converged, and as its population and area have increased.
A large state (large both in area and population) tends to need a very strong police and/or secret/political police to keep it together: KGB (now FSB, within Russia), FBI etc.
The above is not an immutable rule, but a likely tendency, anyway.
Then one has the “diversity” aspect. “Diverse” populations lead to a centrifugal effect. The state may come apart, fall apart. The socio-political police have the effect of countering that, providing a centripetal power.
You can even see that in the UK: as mass immigration has torn much of society apart, there have been enacted ever-more repressive laws to repress free speech and political activity, and the police have become, increasingly, “thought police”, or at least (as I would say) “a poundland KGB”.
Fresh wave of censorship on YouTube last night. American Renaissance & Stefan Molyneux among the high profile victims.
Where YouTube leads, this platform follows. Join Parler, NOW & regain your freedom!
I wonder how long the Parler platform will last. Maybe not so long as a “free speech” enclave. No doubt the Jew mob on Twitter, and their pathetic “antifa” dupes, will infiltrate it, while at the same time trying to get it defunded, or closed down. They may be missing the point though. Twitter is largely a waste of time, certainly from the point of view of tweeters (if they imagine that they are influencing society or politics); GAB, Parler etc, even more so.
In the end, online activity can only be a corollary, so to speak, parasitic upon “real world” activity. A million Twitter or Facebook “likes” or “followers”, are not worth a thousand boots on the ground, or even a dozen.

Well, supporting Bitchute https://www.bitchute.com/ is all well and good, but is no ultimate answer to the wave of repression now engulfing the West. Posting and looking at videos and vlogs is harmless, of course, and may even lead to some good, but what the West (especially Europe) needs is concrete results…
In the USA, the blacks (and “antifa”) are revolting. If Trump (not that I “support” him) were a quarter of the tyrant many claim him to be, he would have had the National Guard or others shoot down these dogs.
Boris-idiot has just announced a £5 billion spending package. In principle, I am all in favour of newer (if better) hospitals, schools etc. I wonder, though, whether the money for school building might not have been better spent on actual education.
Anyone who meets teachers, or sees them on TV quiz shows, must be appalled at the sheer lack of knowledge they display, in almost all cases. This is a consequence of the fact that, in big-picture terms, teaching in schools, certainly in the UK, is a low-status and often relatively low-income occupation. That is especially so in the State school system, and especially for those who are not promoted to school heads.
The fact is that many teachers, perhaps especially in the State sector, are pig-ignorant. This has in fact always been a big problem in the UK.
My solution for the above is to make teaching a more valued occupation: higher entry standards, higher and more nuanced pay (eg more pay for more proven knowledge), less paperwork; and more teaching, less wasting time in the school day, and more in-depth teaching. A thoroughgoing reform of the primary and secondary educational sectors. Another reform for universities, but that is a separate issue.
This so-called New Deal doesn’t go nearly far enough – £5bn is far too little, too late – it’s just 1/200th of actual Roosevelt New Deal – and less than Govt spent on 2 aircraft carriers #GreenNewDeal#BuildBackBetter
The most unusual and transformational economic policy the govt has employed is the furlough and that's being wound up (for understandable reasons, it's astoundingly expensive)
Regular readers of this blog will know that, in the past week, I have blogged briefly, a couple of times, about how Alison Chabloz has, in effect, won her appeal against conviction for alleged breaches of a condition of her suspended sentence (of mid-2018), in that the Crown Prosecution Service [CPS] has thrown in the towel, and has decided not to offer evidence against her at the appeal hearing (set down for 10 July 2020; that had been changed to only a so-called “mention”, the full hearing to have been later in the year).
The CPS gave as its reason for surrendering, that to proceed was “not in the public interest“, a fig-leaf to cover up the real or main reason, which was that there had been political interference from, firstly, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [CAA], which initially suborned the Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire, a dim Sikh and Labour Party drone, as a result of which Alison Chabloz was messed around both wrongfully and unlawfully by Derbyshire Police, and later also by the Metropolitan Police.
The CPS obviously wanted to avoid the bad publicity which might have leaked out about how the Jewish lobby controls and influences politicians at both high and low levels, and interferes with the course of justice in the UK. So they gave up opposition to Alison’s appeal, in order to save face.
I do intend to blog more fully about Alison Chabloz’s situation, but not for a day or so. This is merely (if you like) a non-judicial “mention” of my own.
The “CAA” had applied pressure on the then Justice Secretary (and so joke “Lord Chancellor”), Conservative Friend of Israel, and expenses cheat/freeloader, David Gauke (who is now no longer even an MP). He pressured the CPS, who pressured the privatized probation monkeys.
Lo and behold! A prosecution was raised, a good defence was offered, but Alison Chabloz was convicted all the same, by a district judge (magistrate) in Derbyshire, and was sentenced to 8 weeks. She actually spent a few days in prison before being released on bail pending appeal. I blogged about that at the time.
As it is, though, Alison Chabloz has now achieved a stunning victory over the police, the probation monkeys, the CPS and, best of all, the CAA conspirators.
In fact, the CAA is running scared. I notice that they have completely taken out of their website the page formerly naming their “patrons”. When it was up, it included such Jews as “baroness” Deech, of Oxford, and the disgraced (and increasingly-infirm) “Mark Lewis Lawyer” of (now) Eilat, Israel.

[above: dodgy solicitor Mark Lewis, in his wheelchair at a demonstration in London a few years ago]
[above: Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick, with CAA director, Gideon Falter]
[above: satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz at the piano]
In fact, Alison Chabloz still has one minor problem, despite being out of the woods as far as the 2018 “CAA” matter is concerned, and now that she has in effect succeeded in her appeal (the net result of all the CAA conspiring and snooping was that she suffered a few arrests, a few days in police custody, 2-3 days in a not-too-bad women’s prison and various other inconveniences such as days of trial etc).
The other minor problem is that another malicious Jewish complainant, probably connected with the CAA, made some sort of contrived complaint about what Alison said on an online “radio” show nearly a year ago. As a result, Alison has been further messed around, and has been on purported “police bail” now for many months and, purportedly, barred from posting on her blog (etc) (again).
I have not practised at the Bar for 12+ years (since 2008) and, thanks to the Jew lobby, was disbarred in 2016, but my understanding of the law as it now stands is that police bail cannot be extended beyond 28 days plus 3 months, ie a total of less than 4 months, without court approval: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/insights/why-is-police-bail-being-reviewed-again/
In other words, the police may well be acting unlawfully in keeping Alison Chabloz on police bail (with conditions, at that) since (if memory serves) sometime in late 2019, and certainly since January 2020.
Alison Chabloz’s Counsel applied to Court to terminate the conditions some time ago, but failed in respect of the “posting on Internet” bar.
Just think about that: a policeman, in the UK of 2020, may choose to impose an Internet ban (as far as posting is concerned), purportedly running for months! That, on the say-so of some stray malicious Jew! It must be (I think, is) unlawful. Was the court in Derbyshire in error in maintaining that condition of bail, or have I —after all, I am no longer a “lawyer”, as such— missed something?
True, a court has now pronounced, but I cannot see how that can legitimize an already-illegitimate conditional police bail.
My guess is that the latest malicious attempt by a Jew or a pack of Jews to pervert the course of justice will fail (I very much doubt whether Alison will be charged with anything), but in a sense, “they” have partly succeeded, in that Alison Chabloz has been prevented from exercizing her right to free speech for months. Also, a crowd of (largely non-white) police invaded her dwelling when she was (last) arrested, a few months ago, and stayed there for 1-2 hours, while she was still in pyjamas!
I have only seen one tweet about Alison’s recent total victory over the CAA and CPS (the CAA conspirators themselves are maintaining “radio silence”, it seems):
Revealed: The lawyer at the centre of Starmer's efforts to tackle Labour's antisemtism problem: – Alex Barros-Curtis had previously worked as @Keir_Starmer’s head of compliance during his successful campaign to lead Labour.#LabourAntisemitism@UKLabourhttps://t.co/hiEBqQGpfH
Keir Starmer’s new “compliance” chief: a Jew lawyer who has worked in marketing and “finance”…
“Party insiders say Mr Barros-Curtis has also been at the centre of high-profile decisions to recommend the suspension of Labour members and councillors over recent weeks – including over complaints about antisemitism that had previously not been acted upon.”
“The marketing consultant had previously worked as Sir Keir’s head of compliance during his successful campaign to lead Labour…he is said to have worked extensively on derivatives and structured finance matters in Europe and Hong Kong; as well as formerly working for the Clinton Foundation.”[Jewish Chronicle]
For God’s sake, people…Labour is no longer even pretending to have anything to do with “the working man” or indeed anyone English (or really British)…
Both System parties left standing (the LibDems are finished) are really just trash now, full of poor and —at best— mediocre MPs, offering nothing to the British people.
In keeping with the weasel times in which we live, the local news report above simply says that the 25 y o suspect is “from Reading“, though the BBC report is, unexpectedly, more honest, stating that the suspect “is Libyan“. All reports seen are at pains to say that the incident is “not connected with the “Black Lives Matter” “protests“” (vandalism) and not “terror-related”. Oh, that’s all right then…
So, it seems that a Libyan (“asylum-seeker”?) may have walked around stabbing (British?) people in a park with considerable historical connections, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbury_Gardens#History including British Empire connections (as well as connections with mediaeval, Renaissance and English Civil War events), and near a British Empire military memorial, simply at random? Sorry, me no believe that…
I know the Forbury Gardens, though I have not been there for at least 45 years. I was born in Reading, and when I was very small, my grandmother would take me to the Forbury Gardens occasionally. That would have been around 1957.
The lion on the memorial was painted white or light grey back then or in the 1960s (though the Wikipedia piece about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiwand_Lion makes no mention of that). It looks much better now, or whenever the photo above was taken (obviously in a recent year, looking at the buildings nearby).
The memorial was created “to commemorate the deaths of 329 men from the 66th (Berkshire) Regiment of Foot during the campaign in the Second Anglo-Afghan War in Afghanistan between 1878 and 1880. It is sometimes known locally as the Forbury Lion.” [Wikipedia]. So to memorialize soldiers who died fighting Muslims. Can this be simply co-incidental?
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, when I was a small child, those gardens were peaceful, pleasant and safe, despite being in the centre of a large town.
The importation of the racially and culturally inferior is evil. Anyone supporting it or encouraging it is tainted by evil.
The anti-British Twitter mob are still howling with delight about the expulsion of Katie Hopkins from Twitter. For example, here is a gross (and seemingly semi-literate, judging from other tweets seen) scribbler called Mollie Goodfellow:
first they came for kt flopkins and I said nothing, and just laughed
Incredibly, that creature is followed on Twitter by 45,000 people (for what that may be worth).
I have little time for the “libertarian” (when it suits), pro-Israel, pro-Jew, Faragist “conservative” populist politics of Katie Hopkins. She is not really social-national, and is saying what she says at least partly because she makes a living out of it, never having had a job or profession (except —she says—a few years in New York, in some office bod “consultant” role, and a year in a similar job at the Met Office in Exeter).
All the same, it should not be for some factotum at Twitter to decide who is and is not allowed to tweet. Especially when the process is so biased. Most of the Jew trolls are allowed to stay (the Stephen Silvermans, the Stephen Applebaums, “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, and the mentally-disordered Jewesses of North London and the neighbouring Borshch Belt), as are “antifa” idiots.
This is not a matter of a simple commercial setup which has the right to bar people; this is a quasi-monopoly (notwithstanding that small “baby-Twitters” exist), and there should be some kind of citizen’s right to publish on it.
I do agree with about half of the views expressed by Katie Hopkins, especially re. migration-invasion, multiculturalism, gypsies (whether “Roma” or Irish tinker) and a few other topics. I strongly disagree with some of her other views (not only her professed love for the Jews).
Funny to think that Katie Hopkins was working at the Met Office in Exeter when I was a barrister practising (2002-2008) from chambers in the same city. In fact, Katie Hopkins’ house (which had to be sold a few years ago, after her misadvised defence to a libel action by the so-called “Bootstrap Cook” failed, with large costs consequences) was in St. Leonard’s, a district of Exeter adjoining the area of the bluff over the Exe River, which is where my chambers were.
[above: Colleton Crescent, Exeter, address of my one-time barristers’ chambers]
I never saw Katie Hopkins when I worked out of Exeter (I lived about 50 miles to the west, on the Cornwall-Devon border), though I did notice a few other “celebrities”, mostly at the Exeter County Court: Noel Edmonds the TV presenter, and John Burton-Race, the TV chef and restaurateur, among others.
As I say, it is not about being pro-Katie Hopkins, which I am not, but about the continuing attempt by a mob of Jews and “me too” groupthink idiots to shut down freedom of expression, either for socio-political reasons, or for their own advantage.

This is an important step. But what's needed most of all in the culture wars is courage. It's no use thinking legislation will solve the problem: ministers, companies and universities have to say NO when protesters call for the next thing to be cancelled.https://t.co/BKPjJFDezy

This nonsense (meaning the whole caboodle of “BLM” vandalism, “anti-racism”, worship of the backward races, “holocaust” fake “history”. etc..the whole bloody lot) will continue until the white peoples of Europe stand up with one voice and say “WE ARE THE RULERS IN EUROPE”! Also, until we have real history taught in schools and universities, and that includes reclaiming the honourable aspects of the civilizing mission of Aryan-descended mankind.
Much as I despise the misnamed “Conservative” Party, the Labour party continues to rule itself out. It just has little or nothing to offer English people.
Remember when -after Charlie Hebdo- we said we would do all that we could to defend freedom of speech, no matter how offensive?
Matthew Goodwin “forgets” that the Charlie Hebdo events were followed by a crackdown on free speech in the UK, in France and elsewhere, but only against anyone criticizing Jews, their behaviour, or the “holocaust” narrative fakery.
Most EU states now have repressive laws criminalizing “holocaust” “denial” (historical revisionism and freedom of expression), which bad laws echo the mediaeval laws against “heresy”.
These (often “conservative” or “Conservative”) commentators are now protesting about the madness that ZOG etc has unleashed (using the blacks as cannon-fodder), but where were they when I was pilloried in 2016 as the “extreme” “neo-Nazi barrister”, and when not one hand (from their milieu) was raised to defend me? Where were they when Alison Chabloz was prosecuted at the behest of a pack of Zionist Jews? Where were they to defend Jez Turner of the London Forum, or say any kind word about him, when he was actually imprisoned (in 2018) for speaking the truth?
Scottish independence (from UK, though not from NATO, presumably, nor from the EU, nor from international finance…) would mean a Westminster Parliament in which (on 2019 figures) the Conservative Party would have a majority of about 127 (because no Scottish MPs, of which 48 are SNP, 6 Conservative, 4 LibDem and 1 Labour).
I have a couple of issues with Nick Griffin’s tweet, above. First, he uses the old and now all but meaningless “right/left” binary; also, he posts a picture of the now completely sidelined Jeremy Corbyn. Not very skilled, politically.

America is changing. Indeed, America has changed. It is already majority non-white for one thing. That has not yet filtered down through the whole of the political process, but the effects are already there fairly widely.
Jonathan Sumption’s article is well worth reading in full. Extracts:
“Scientists can advise what measures are likely to reduce infections and deaths. Only politicians can decide whether those measures make sense in economic and social terms too“
“...the Government had made no preparations at all. It had not included a lockdown power in the Coronavirus Bill which was then going through Parliament.“
“Instead, it was forced to make legally questionable use of public health legislation designed to control the movements of infected people, not healthy ones. Even then, it took another three days to prepare the regulations, and meanwhile pretended that they were in force when they were not.”
“‘Christ!’ the Prime Minister is reported to have said when Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Business Secretary Alok Sharma explained the economic consequences to him three weeks later on June 2. We were heading for an economic catastrophe: gross domestic product down by more than a fifth and falling; 3.5 million jobs set to be lost in the hospitality industry alone; unemployment already up to two million; several million businesses snuffed out; job openings for a generation of young people extinguished.“
“Why was the PM so surprised? What did he expect to happen if he closed down the economy for several months and conducted a scorched-earth campaign against the rest of our national life? The only plausible explanation was that he had never properly thought about it.“
“I have had no political allegiance for many years. I have observed the coming and going of governments of one party or another with equal indifference. But it is hard to be indifferent to what is happening now. You have to go back to the early 1930s to find a British Cabinet as devoid of talent as this one.“
“The Prime Minister, who in practice makes most of the decisions, has low political cunning but no governmental skills whatever. He is incapable of studying a complex problem in depth. He thinks as he speaks – in slogans.”
“These people have no idea what they are doing, because they are unable to think about more than one thing at a time or to look further ahead than the end of their noses. Yet they wield awesome power. They are destroying our economy, our cultural life and our children’s education in a fit of absent-mindedness.” [Lord (Jonathan) Sumption, formerly of the Supreme Court bench, in the Daily Mail].
Looks as though I have been proven right again. I was saying all that (minus the then unknown “virus” etc) last year.
Look at the Cabinet! Boris-idiot sits there, playing the Prime Minister, though he has cut down on the rote-learned Latin and Greek phrases (designed to show the plebs that he is a real English “toff” from Eton and Oxford, and not a part-Jew, part-Turk public entertainer, with no ideas beyond the 12-year-old schoolboy ones of building bridges from England to Ireland, creating artificial islands with fantasy airports on them etc).
Then there is Indian “clever boy”, Rishi Sunak, who was briefly hailed as “future Prime Minister” because he decided to throw public money at businesses which were on their last legs before Coronavirus and the crazy “lockdown”.
Little Matt Hancock has proven himself (like the rest) incapable of anything useful during the largely contrived “crisis”.
The Jew Grant Shapps, he of the false names and dodgy (((typical))) get rich quick schemes he sold to mugs, yet is still posing as a Cabinet Minister.
Priti Patel will probably make another “let’s get tough on immigration” speech soon, despite the fact that she has done nothing to stem the flow. Indeed, she has closed all the immigration detention centres and released all the detainees! The best thing she could and should do would be to deport herself! If her “native” Uganda does not want her back, she could try Israel. After all, the Israelis, like the old KGB, pride themselves on getting their agents back.
So it goes. The rest of the Cabinet is no better. Half-Jew Raab— useless. Then we have Michael Gove, the Israel-worshipping cocaine abuser and drunk, who is perhaps best known for his dedicated cheating on his expenses during the 2005-2010 Parliament.
Jesus H. Christ! Does it get any worse?! Oh, yes, it does! I forgot to include that little pissant Robert Jenrick, the one with the Jew corporate lawyer wife etc…
It had to happen. The censorship and hypocrisy pervasive in the whole society is magnified on Twitter.
On Twitter, white (i.e. European, or Aryan, or post-Aryan if you like) people are always in the wrong, unless they “bend the knee” (literally or metaphorically) in sign of fealty to those of inferior race and culture.
There is, of course, a double standard on Twitter. The blacks and browns and— a fortiori— Jews are allowed pretty much free rein. White (i.e. European or European-origin) people can be “suspended” and/or “permanently suspended” (they mean “removed”) quite easily, especially when packs of Jews (or those effectively controlled by Jews) gang up against them.
That is what happened to me in 2018. I joined Twitter in 2010 but tweeted almost nothing until 2011. The Jew-Zionist pack on (UK) Twitter targeted me after I tweeted something about a BBC Radio 4 Today Programme piece about the “restitution” scam, whereby Jews whose ancestors owned property (buildings, houses, gold bars, Old Master paintings) in Central or Eastern Europe in 1930s (sometimes procured by the Jews via fraud and outright theft) have such property (or money in lieu) “restored” to them.
Basically, the governments of various European states end up paying money to the Jews in “compensation” for what was expropriated from the Jews’ grandparents or great-grandparents. All claimed to be an outcome of the “holocaust” farrago (in fact most of the property was abandoned when Jews left Germany, Poland etc for the UK, USA, France etc).
The relentless Jew-Zionist attack on me, from about 2011 onwards resulted in my being disbarred, albeit only in 2016, 8 years after I had left Bar practice.
The now-disgraced and infirm Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, was trying to “get” me for years, and the two Jew-Zionist packs with which he was most associated, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and “UK Lawyers for Israel” both tried to have me disbarred, arrested and charged (with various faked-up offences), and expelled from Twitter.
Well, I was never arrested, let alone charged, tried or convicted of anything, but I was disbarred, after a nearly two-and a-half-year struggle. I have blogged about all this:
[above: the Jew solicitor, Mark Lewis, tweeting to people…]
Incidentally, Mark Lewis is still on Twitter and even has a “blue tick”, meaning that he is considered favoured; that despite the fact that Lewis actually bought about 70,000 non-existent “followers” (his wife at the time, Caroline Feraday, did similar; the marriage itself was brief, and lasted months not years). Lewis has kept at least 15,000 of his bought “followers” (he originally, when briefly “famous”, around 2012, had about 8,000, I thought, though Legal Cheek magazine said only 3,000, the same as me, ironically). That magazine pretended, for the sake of convenience, or for purposes of satire, to accept Lewis’s ludicrous “I wuz hacked” plea:
When I was expelled from Twitter, I had only 3,000 followers, but at least they were all real (I also followed only about 50 accounts, mostly organizations; Lewis follows, even now, 660 at time of writing).
Thousands of other tweeters have blue ticks, but I can think of only one social-national tweeter, Nick Griffin, and I doubt whether he will be on Twitter for much longer now.
The only consolation is that Twitter is largely a waste of time anyway. Twitter thought that the Brexit Referendum would be easily won by Remain, and that Trump had no chance of election in 2016 (etc).
I have blogged about freedom of expression. I have also blogged and (before I was expelled) tweeted about a connected topic, what I call “the privatization of public space“, meaning how a few huge quasi-monopolies (particularly Twitter, Facebook, ebay, Amazon, YouTube) have arrogated to themselves and their employees the right to deny a platform to those with the “wrong” views, i.e. anything that stands against a Zionist-controlled or influenced globalized dystopia:
More tweets, this time “celebrating” the removal of Katie Hopkins from Twitter. It is noticeable how many of those tweets are from those who make money out of the msm and who (unlike brave Laurence Fox) are desperate not to be blacklisted.
Look at the sneering, sadistic little bastard below, one Jamie East (note his proud “blue tick”, btw). Is, or was, an msm presenter (though I myself had never heard the name until today). The sheer nastiness comes out strongly. Also, like many others attacking Katie Hopkins, he seems to relish kicking someone who is down.
Here below is the contribution of Mehdi Hasan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Hasan, who “bravely” puts the boot into Katie Hopkins now that she has been removed from Twitter.
I try not to tweet about Hopkins because she’s an attention-seeking troll who thrives on controversy, but given the story itself is about how’s she’s now permanent gone from Twitter, I guess, she can’t really retweet or quote-retweet me 🙂 https://t.co/CczhlBcZF8
Below, another nasty little man who probably thinks himself terribly clever laughing at serious and important concepts such as freedom of expression etc…
As much as I disagree with Katie Hopkins, we should all remember that her account being blocked by Twitter is a violation of her human rights and It's important that we don't lose our own humanity when we something something hahahaha fuck off.
Above, the logical conclusion: a witch-hunt, as seen in, eg, the Stalinist purges. Guilt by association and assumption (though I see now that the above tweeter is just a dim troll of some kind, possibly hoping to add to his 25 followers on Twitter).
The mob of “useful idiots” crawls over the marble ruins of a civilization that it could never build…
Just now in Washington, DC, BLM Protestors topple Statue of Albert Pike in Judiciary Square.
Take a look, below, at tweeter “@LdnPearl”/“coons be gone” (well, in the reported words of Jesus Christ, “you have said it“…):
[Update, 21 June 2020: the very next day, tweeter “@LdnPearl” changed her “coons be gone” name to “Pearl”. Why? I mean, after all, “tell the truth and shame the Devil”, in the old saying…]
Wtf is #BritishLivesMatter ?? ‘British history’ is slavery, genocides, abusing, raping, looting and human trafficking there’s nothing to be proud of. You are all delusional as fuck. pic.twitter.com/R0RwOLDD8W
Conclusion? Quite a few of the blacks, the younger ones mainly, just hate us. There can be no society with them. A tweeter like “coons be gone” is a useless millstone round the necks of the British people.
And here (below) is another seemingly dim person (why are so many dim people from Manchester? Still, that’s one for the psychologists or social historians, I suppose).
Katie Hopkins. Freedom of speech. You should really only enjoy that right if you don't abuse it.
Also, one of the huge number of tweeters for whom Twitter really matters. In fact, it matters scarcely at all. The reality is that Twitter is an adjunct to politics, not the main substance of it (as the obsessed believe).
[Update, 29 August 2022: Amusingly enough, the tweeter just highlighted, who laughed at Katie Hopkins having been expelled from Twitter, has since then himself been expelled. I wonder whether that taught him anything?].
My own view of the Katie Hopkins/Twitter matter
As said above and elsewhere by me, Twitter is largely a waste of time. It helps those who have external activity happening; it is not useful as a standalone. If you are, say, Donald Trump, and you are expelled from Twitter, well, in the end, you are still President of the United States.
To put it another way, and to deploy the “Ken Livingstone” argument, were Adolf Hitler around today and had the NSDAP, SA, SS etc, Twitter would certainly assist the dissemination of his views, but it would not, of itself, help him to attain power or to retain power.
Switching that around, if a person today has no real organization behind him (or her) but only a “social media” presence, that person, be he or she ever so “famous”, is a colossus on legs of straw. Take away the social media platform(s), and the online personality is left with nothing.
The above “de-platforming” has happened to quite a few already. At more or less random, one thinks of that ghastly American degenerate, “Milo”. Others hit by “de-platforming” from all or most large online fora (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc) have been such as “Prison Planet” (Paul Watson), “Sargon of Akkad” Benjamin, and of course Katie Hopkins.
The irony is, that several of those removed from various online platforms, though removed mostly because the Jew lobby wanted it so, have been almost desperately pro-Israel and pro-Jew. “Prison Planet” Watson and Katie Hopkins are two such supplicants. Another is Tommy Robinson.
Lesser known people (intellectual dissidents, dissenting artists etc) are also being removed from the major platforms. Alison Chabloz, Brother Nathanael, Ian Millard (me!) and many another. Some cling on here and there, but all are being purged now and will not be on those platforms for long.
For the “alt-Right” wastes of space, being “de-platformed” means that their income streams largely dry up. Take away their online stuff, and they have nothing left. Take away the online presence of a real social-national party (were one in existence) and it would be not fatal, but merely an inconvenience.
The “alt-Right” wastes of space (Watson, Hopkins, “Sargon of Akkad”, “Tommy Robinson” etc are indeed men (and women) of straw. The only one with any real troops is Tommy Robinson, but he is not social-national, more like a clan leader, and without real ideology.
I support the rights of free expression of those mentioned above mainly from general principle. I believe that people should be able to express, without let or hindrance, views on political, social, or historical topics. The enemies of our culture and civilization (the black mobs, the “antifa” idiots, the Jew-Zionists) believe in preventing free speech.
I might add that Katie Hopkins and the other “alt-Right” and associated types never said a word in support of me; few of them said anything in support of persecuted singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz; none said a word in support of Jez Turner, of the London Forum, who was actually imprisoned for a year at the behest of that same pack of Jew-Zionists, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.
My own views are not at one with those “alt-Right” and similar people, at least on most issues. For example, Katie Hopkins is, or says that she is, pro-Israel and pro-Jew. For me, that is the end, and “Ian Millard has left the building”. However, she has courage, that’s for sure, and I think that she is genuinely against the migration invasion of Europe by blacks and browns.
In the end, does online ranting, opining, analyzing (and yes that does include this blog) accomplish much? I say no. It may have some utility, and I blog out of a sense of duty, and because who knows what might not happen because I blog? I do not regard blogging as truly politically or socially significant. Neither is vlogging, or (still less) tweeting.
Katie Hopkins is not social-national in ideology, of course. She is also callous in her attitudes.
What is needed is a real social-national organization in the UK. The time will never be more auspicious than in the next 7 years.
Tweets seen on various topics
Coronavirus and the “lockdown”/shutdown madness:
Alas @gronvita, I fear that the official version will claim that the shutdown was not soon enough. About 85% of the population is wholly unaware of the expert dissent from the shutdown tactic, as almost all major media have simply ignored this dissent for three long months. https://t.co/EKs90TZgQO
Latest example of utterly pathetic police. But look at the comments section – the only one permitted (8 a.m) by moderators has over 4,000 Likes. So plenty are going to the comments section but the mods are blocking virtually all. You know why!https://t.co/YBTXfFZHXX
In fact, all the police bending their knees in that report seem to be black. Scandal. Incidentally, the Daily Mail refers to the organizer of the protest as “Bishop” Desmond Jadoo (or should that be “Baboo”?). The church of which he is apparently a “bishop” is not the Church of England (God be praised for small mercies…) but the “Vision Temple of Praise Church”, whatever that may be.
Glasgow
I was unaware until today (looking at tweets) to what extent Glasgow has become non-European (I have never been to that city). Shocking infiltration into government, the legal system etc.
More tweets
My 🌍is opening up, back at my market stall , 1 thing I wasn't prepared for is having conversations with black friends, who don't support BLM , I think it's an age thing , it feels very weird trying to have those conversations & getting quite a lot of hostility
That has been my assumption, that the “Black Lives Matter” semi-insurrection is centred on the kind of young blacks who have been born in the UK, and who hate everything about Britain and the British, largely because they have been filled with “anti-fascist” and anti-British propaganda at ghastly comprehensive schools, aka educational prisons (in some cases).
The tweet below must be a contender for “thick tweet of the day”!
Diane Abbott could have been Home Secretary…imagine that.
Update, 29 August 2022
Looking at this blog post now, for the first time since it was written, it is noticeable how many tweeters have been expelled from Twitter. Most of those who, two years ago, expressed support for Katie Hopkins and/or free speech, but also some of those applauding the censorship and repression. “What goes around comes around“…
Ah…Keir Starmer and Robert Jenrick. A “Conservative” Cabinet minister, and the new “Labour” leader and head of the Shadow Cabinet. What could they possibly have in common? Well, how about these?
Keir Starmer: married to a Jewish woman lawyer; their half-Jewish children are being brought up as culturally Jewish; member of Labour Friends of Israel;
Robert Jenrick: married to a Jewish woman lawyer; their half-Jewish children are being brought up as culturally Jewish; member of Conservative Friends of Israel.
Get the picture?
Priti Patel and Yvette Cooper
"Yvette Cooper, the chair of the home affairs select committee, has written to Patel six times in an attempt to fix a date for the home secretary to give evidence in public to the committee, but a date for a hearing has not been confirmed." https://t.co/tAAGkJVFBU
— S & W Yorkshire for Europe 🇪🇺❄️ (@SWYforEurope) April 9, 2020
Whether you like her or loathe her, you have to agree that a Home Secretary who runs off and hides during the biggest national crisis since the second world war is shameful. https://t.co/vhZaYPU7Hr
As I have often noted, it was only the rise to power, in Uganda, of Idi Amin that stopped Priti Patel from spending her life behind the counter of a Kampala grocery store. She’s another member of Conservative Friends of Israel. Thick as two short planks. A proven agent of Israel, for which she was actually sacked by then Prime Minister Theresa May. Still, in the UK of today, being stupid and corrupt (and basically foreign) does not prevent someone from becoming an MP and even a Cabinet minister, albeit a bad-joke one.
Not that I like Yvette Cooper either: a proven expenses cheat in the 2005-2010 Parliament, together with her —then Cabinet minister— husband, Ed Balls. Member of Labour Friends of Israel. Moneygrasping. A “refugees welcome” drone, who claimed that she and her nasty husband, Balls, were ready to welcome “refugees” into their home (and that everyone should do the same). Oddly, the ghastly pair never did welcome “refugees” into one of their several homes (paid for over the years by the British taxpayers). The “refugees” (and the public) are still waiting…
Yvette Cooper made work capability assessments more humiliating for disabled people, abstained on the Tories' consciously cruel Welfare Bill, abstained on the Tories' hostile environment Immigration Bill, voted for the Iraq War. Jeremy Corbyn opposed them all. #Newsnight
— Frank Owen's Legendary Paintbrush🥀🇵🇸🇾🇪 (@OwenPaintbrush) April 8, 2020
When New Labour's persecutory & widely-condemned disability welfare tests & ATOS bounty hunters failed to produce the hordes of scroungers of Mail/Express lore, but drove vulnerable people to suicide instead, unbelievably Cooper tried to make the tests EVEN HARDER TO PASS!…
Priti Patel? Yvette Cooper? I would like to [redacted], if truth be known. Ed Balls too. These are all enemies of the British people. Terrible people. Lying people. Moneygrasping people. Cruel people.
Ha ha!
Jewish Chronicle and Jewish News go up the chimney…
One unexpected bonus arising out of the Coronavirus crisis is that the police are so busy throwing their weight about, shouting at old couples walking on the fells of Northern England, at motorists who have decided to take their cars on —entirely harmless— drives, and at young ladies modestly sunbathing in London parks, that some of their other usual activities have been frozen until somewhere down the line. Not dealing with ordinary (real) crime, such as burglary, bank robbery, or even murder. Those crimes have all but fallen off a cliff during “lockdown”. No, I refer to online social media “crime” and particularly political “crime”.
According to relevant legislation, notably the notorious Communications Act 2003, s.127, and the laws dealing with procedure in the magistrates’ courts, any prosecution for “grossly offensive” tweets or Facebook posts (etc) must be taken (i.e. charge made) within 6 months of complaint to police and/or CPS (there is now also a backstop limitation of 3 years, but that does not over-ride the 6-month limitation which starts to tick once the police and/or CPS have been notified of the alleged crime).
My readers will see the point. Malicious organizations and individuals, mostly Jewish, have fastened upon this bad law and abused it to try to shut down freedom of expression. The disgraced solicitor, Mark Lewis, now resident in Israel (apparently), was a leading figure in such evil abuse of the British legal system.
[above: self-promoting Jew solicitor, obscene Twitter troll and “lawfare” abuser, Mark Lewis, now an Israeli citizen and resident in Israel]
Tame police have gone along with that to a large extent, as witness numerous cases, most of which however never made it to court (a few did, mostly resulting in small fines, though there have been a few instances where heavier penalties were imposed, e.g. the case of Alison Chabloz, the satirical singer-songwriter). Here is my own story in relation to such “lawfare” abuse:
More thoughts about Communications Act 2003, s.127
Well, it seems that, by reason of Coronavirus, the police have a perfect excuse not to do both their proper job (dealing with real crime) —despite the falling-off of crime during the “lockdown”— and also their fairly-recently acquired joke-job (monitoring and censoring comment on social media).
Further to previous comment, the chances are that, at least in respect of socio-political views expressed on Twitter etc, any complaints by (((the usual suspects))) will be filed somewhere right at the back of the priority line, meaning that (bearing in mind the now-glacial work-rate of the CPS and courts) few if any such complaints will make it to a charge within the 6-month usual limitation period. A window of Internet freedom…
[above: a migrant-invader lands in Sussex. He looks happy, well-fed. The bastard even has what looks like a camera phone. No doubt signalling to thousands to follow on after him from France]
So UK police can misuse drones to spot elderly couples or solitary trekkers walking in the Peak District, but Border Force cannot do the same contra migrant-invaders in the Channel. We need a Feliks Dzerzhinsky…
Virtue-signalling Twitter idiots will say “oh, it was only 63, yesterday. Not so many...” but even if you —naively— assume that no others arrived surreptitiously, that is still about 2,000 in a month, 24,000 in a year. Most are single men. Even if you say that 6 share a house or flat, that’s still 4,000+ dwellings a year unavailable for British people. Same with medical services and everything else. And that is before they pick up English “hoes” (brainwashed into being “non-racist”…) and start to breed with them…Few have any skills in any area that might be of any use here, so they will mostly be on State benefits, inc. housing…
It sounds harsh, but these invaders should not be “rescued” but allowed to perish in the Channel, not given a free ride from a few miles off the French coast. They are invaders and must be treated as such.
Despite the fact that I consider most of the restrictions now in play nonsense, I shall not be going out for a couple of days, perhaps not until Monday (written on Thursday). In the meantime, here I recount my experience of the outside world as seen yesterday, my first outing for 2 days.
Roads quiet in my little corner of Southern England, but not as empty as they were a week ago. At Waitrose, a long line of “socially-distancing” persons all waiting to be allowed entrance by the black-clad, scarf-wearing Handmaid’s Tale militia (Waitrose marshals). My fault for going early. Go half an hour before close and you can pretty much go straight in.
The shoppers looked fairly ordinary, though there were a few idiots (as I think, anyway) wearing Chinese-style masks and, in one case, medical gloves as well. In the car park…
Inside, once allowed in (as another shopper exited), no great shortage of anything except dried pasta, which I did not need (fortunately, as it was almost all gone again, and again only the unpopular stuff like wholewheat spaghetti left). In fact, this is certainly hoarding behaviour, because there was —again— fresh pasta available aplenty. Flour was mostly gone, as was stuff used in baking bread, such as bicarbonate of soda, yeast etc. Bleach was unavailable in large containers, only the spray stuff.
Everything else formerly in short supply because of panic-buying or bulk-buying was available: bread, eggs (restricted to one pack per customer), loo paper, kitchen roll, lemons. Not much chicken left. I myself was buying mainly bread, kitchen roll (restricted to one pack) and things you need for Indian dinners: Madras, Korma and other curry pastes, Patak’s Lime Pickle, poppadums, coconut cream, chutney etc. No real shortage, though most of the rice had gone.
The UK’s toytown police state and its poundland KGB
This is a toytown North Korea in genesis. If the police think that they can repress the public indefinitely, I think that they may be in for a big shock when (not if, but when) the (so-far-compliant) public mood shifts decisively.
When I heard that police woodentop commander from Northampton say that his men would be searching people’s shopping trolleys for “non-essential” shopping (who is some police woodentop to make that judgment anyway?) I could hardly believe my ears! Actions going well beyond even the repressive “instant tyranny” of the new overnight Coronavirus Act. “Leading beyond authority”? A typical Common Purpose drone. Toytown North Korea indeed.
.@PoliceChiefs Could you have a word with the Chief Constable of Northampton Police, Nick Adderley, and explain to him that there is no coronavirus law which allows his officers to search shopping trolleys because there is no law against buying 'nonessential items'? Thank you.
I agree the lockdowns are having an effect, they are destroying jobs, destroying supply chains, destroying the economy, creating permanent psychological effects, depriving the NHS of future funding, wrecking SMEs, evaporating civil liberties….
“I don’t think there is any possibility, any likelihood of these lockdown measures being lifted immediately or even imminently,”
“We don’t yet really have enough data from what has happened so far to know for sure the impact they’re having.” [Nicola Sturgeon, talking on Sky News]
So Nicola Sturgeon has no information as to the public health effects of the “lockdown”, but is prepared to extend the “lockdown” for a great deal longer?
Goodbye, Scottish economy…
After the “lockdown” is eased, politics will be interesting
The Government (UK) has decided to keep the lockdown going, possibly until May or even later. That despite the fact that proven Coronavirus cases have not been so numerous. In fact, there is a steady decline in new cases. My theory is that, with the person currently posing as Prime Minister in hospital, his Cabinet colleagues are unwilling to take the responsibility for ending the “house arrest of the British people”.
All the same, that “house arrest” has to be ended, and soon. The damage done to the UK economy may already be close to terminal. The EU economies too:
Europe is heading into a major economic slump that will be deeper than the 2008 Great Recession. Many Eurozone states have still not recovered from the last crisis. And so far their leaders have failed to agree on a serious plan. We are all, once again, in a perilous place.
Indeed @climbwales. But Chancellor Sunak's magic money forests will eventually be stripped of their pretty blue and brown leaves. And then what? https://t.co/wHfnhQTvh9

— The Local Austria (@TheLocalAustria) April 9, 2020
For years, I have been writing and speaking about 2022, the most significant year since 1989. In 2022, 33 years will have passed since the fall of socialism. From 2022, a new ideology must replace both old-style socialism (including social democracy) and globalist finance-capitalism and its political excrescences.
As far as the UK is concerned, there will never be so opportune a time for social-national politics and para-politics as from now, through 2022, and on from there. I myself shall not see the dawn of 2055 (2022 + 33) but I am still here at present, struggling for the right and just and, by Grace of God, will still be here in 2022 when I reach 66 years of age.
It has been said by some, by me too, that as things stand, politics, ordinary politics, start a party and get elected politics, holds out little prospect of success for us.
We have seen successively-greater waves of non-European immigration since 1945 change Britain out of all recognition. We know that that gradual invasion means that our sort of politics is always fighting its way uphill. The faster breeding rate of the non-Europeans adds yet another factor. On the other hand, even England is still about 85% “white” (European), despite the fact that some major cities are no longer majority non-white.
If the economy of the world goes into recession or even depression, the political realm will be changed out of recognition. Look at how, after 10 years of lying “there is no money” fake “austerity”, even a “Conservative” government has suddenly thrown open its coffers. Desperate times betoken desperate measures. The most radical ideologies may soon seem plausible to desperate and struggling people.
Politics, for us, is about people, about the race and, beyond even the race, the future race we wish to create.
An Expert writes : Yet more intelligent, informed scepticism about the coronavirus panicdemic, for the panic-merchants to find a way to ignore: How deadly is the coronavirus? It's still far from clear https://t.co/tDMjmWlIBv via @spectator
When I saw that initial Peter Hitchens article, I was sceptical, thinking that strict temporary measures were probably necessary to deal with the Coronavirus crisis. Now I have modified my view about both what is happening (while still recognizing the very serious nature of the virus situation) and especially about the repressive laws and overarching “enabling” legislation.
I predicted this https://t.co/b20e0vlba5 on Monday. Some people made a joke about it because they thought I wasn't being serious. Well, I was. This is what life is like when the state is above your head.
The Daily Mail report below shows how the police are starting, once again (as with social media “crimes”), to get above themselves, zealously going well beyond the law and their own granted powers to hunt down people whom they decide should be lectured, spied upon or questioned. They also leave behind ordinary commonsense.
Police officers spying on lone dog-walkers in the remote and deserted parts of the Peak District and other national parks; senior police acting as poundland generals, setting up roadblocks, getting their robots to question motorists about where they are going and “is your journey really necessary?” And so on.
In Derbyshire, police are using drones to spy on solitary dog walkers in the Peak District National Park, people walking miles from anyone else! The very same force that, in the Alison Chabloz case, revealed itself to be a comic opera Keystone Cops outfit and poundland KGB. Incidentally, Derbyshire Police has long had one of the worst records in dealing with actual, real crime; you know, real crime, such as burglary, assault, GBH etc, not “someone said something about Jews on social media”, not “someone walked a dog in a remote part of the Peak District but we got her using our poundland KGB drone”.
Common-sense is lacking. A couple in a car or a man on a motorbike are not going to infect anyone, neither are they going to be infected, not while driving and riding. Of course, the same applies to a girl on a motorcycle…
Always ride safely, of course…
Cede your liberty to the state, @madz_grant and it takes everything, even the freedom to walk alone on the high hills. https://t.co/f9gmeCguQp
There are, as Hitchens and Delingpole say, a huge number of people who cannot wait to see the British people subjected to strict controls at all times. They also cannot wait to see people punished. Many of these “useful idiots” are those who identify with some kind of multikulti pseudo-socialism and spend most of their lives virtue-signalling on Twitter.
Why shouldn’t someone drive from a town to a deserted part of the country and walk a dog or just walk, with or without someone from the same dwelling? The danger of infection (from or to) is much greater in an urban or suburban setting where more people are likely to be encountered.
There are a few brave voices being raised in defence of reasonable freedoms. I do not much like what I have seen on TV and in print of James Delingpole, but this is a courageous and surely correct article:
So Gordon Brown, formerly a major UK political face of the international finance-capitalist conspiracy (or, if you prefer, “consensus”), has come out of hiding to call openly for a one-world dictatorship…It took him a while, but he has now done it.
Give that man a cee-gar!
As soon as the soap opera of Harry and the Royal Mulatta began to unravel, I predicted that they would end up living somewhere like Bel Air or Beverly Hills, with Harry as that stock comic character of American TV, a kind of house-husband, run ragged by his petulant “younger wife” (in fact she is 4 years older than Harry). Royal Married with Children… Well, that has now come to pass: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2020/03/27/prince-harry-meghan-move-california/
Statistical anomaly
It seems that Jews in the UK have been hard hit by Coronavirus and that 5% of all deaths in the UK have occurred within the Jewish element. I am not a statistician, of course, but this seems to me very high, bearing in mind that Jews are supposedly only about 0.3% of the entire UK-resident population. That means that Jews are not only being hit harder (as far as actual deaths are concerned) than non-Jews, but nearly 20 times as much.
I suppose that one has to take into account the fact that London, which is now such a dustbin of peoples, is the epicentre or “hotspot” for Coronavirus in the UK. I read that North West London, the most Jewish part of London, is the hotspot within the hotspot. In fact, the borough of Barnet is said to be the most infected of all.
That in itself does not quite explain why. Is it because Jews travel on business more than most non-Jews (e.g. English people)? I have no idea. Not every Jew is a diamond dealer or finance industry operative, flitting from London to Antwerp to Zurich and on to Moscow or Kiev.
Unemployment: the DWP system cannot cope
Half a million people have just registered as unemployed in the UK, in one week! The DWP system was unable to cope before Coronavirus “lockdown”. Now? Look at what that idiotic creature, Therese Coffey, is saying!

She then tells self employed people to claim UC despite it requiring a jobcentre visit.https://t.co/821MmGSt9X
In fact, that tweeter is wrong. The global death total at time of writing is about 24,000, not 2,800. The principle remains, though.
Self-awareness takes a back seat…
All those tweeting delight that @BorisJohnson has #Coronavirus are not just very unpleasant but stupid as that signifies that many others will be infected regardless of political affiliation.
The thing is @rmayemsinger that Trump’s over confidence/arrogance make him susceptible to #Covid19. If infected at his age his survival chances are very low. No doubt he will call it a “Fake Virus” and a “nasty” infection but that is not a cure.
“The director of the human rights organisation Liberty has called the government’s new Coronavirus Act the biggest attack on British people’s freedoms in a generation.” [The Guardian]
“Among various measures, the act, which passed on Wednesday, gives police powers to detain people and forcibly test people they suspect may be infectious, removes protections for those detained under the mental health act, and weakens judicial oversight of surveillance.”
“Already on Thursday, the Guardian reported how police in North Yorkshire were proposing to set up road blocks to restrict people’s movements, while Derbyshire police used a drone to shame people who had driven to remote parts of the peak district during the lockdown.”
“In a statement marking the passage of the new law, Martha Spurrier, director of Liberty, said:
This new law is without doubt the biggest restriction on our individual and collective freedoms in a generation. What people may not realise is the extent of its powers, and how long they can be in place for.
It gives the authorities new powers to detain any one of us that they believe could be infected with the coronavirus.
It also removes vital safeguards in care standards, leaving many people who are already at risk, such as disabled people, at further risk, not only of poor care but also of potentially inhumane treatment.
While change is necessary, and some of the measures outlined in this legislation are entirely sensible, others are overbearing and, if left unchecked, could create more problems than they solve.
The breadth of this legislation is also extraordinary. It runs to more than 300 pages and includes some spectacular restrictions, including powers to rearrange or cancel elections.
We’ll beat this virus, but these measures must be a last resort in that battle and these powers must be removed as soon as possible. We cannot and must not sacrifice all of our hard-won rights and freedoms.”
“The Met Police today fined a bakery boss £80 for criminal damage after she put temporary lines outside her shop to keep her customers safe from coronavirus….The officer told the flabbergasted woman that she had graffitied the pavement and if police failed to punish crimes like these there would be ‘anarchy’, adding: ‘I can’t help the law. We’re going to be ticketing soon to stop people congregating – is that wrong too?’.” [Daily Mail]
No wonder that the more elite police used to call their uniformed colleagues “wooden-tops”!
“It came as police forces across the country are facing accusations of overzealousness as they use sweeping new powers to crack down on people flouting the coronavirus lockdown, using road blocks, drones and helicopters to enforce it.” [Daily Mail]
“Critics say the unprecedented powers handed to officers by ministers will see the country ‘sliding into dystopia.'”
“As the row intensified today, Leading QC Matthew Ryder said there was an ‘overwhelming consensus from lawyers that police trying to restrict people to ’emergency travel only’ is unlawful.‘”
“Former MPs also claim police are ‘showing an astounding lack of judgement’ and needed to exercise ‘common sense and respect’ and use their powers elsewhere.“
“But chairman of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, Martin Hewitt, doubled down on the measures, telling the BBC: ‘This is a national emergency, not a national holiday.’“
[Daily Mail]
Well, there it is. Police go mad, but are backed by senior national police officers who plainly lack both real intelligence and common-sense. If the police were told by the “weirdos and misfits” now at the heart of “democratic” government to herd us all into some UK GULAG system, they would do it. No question.
The fact is that the police are in danger of becoming an irrelevance, not very good at preventing or dealing with ordinary crime (their main job), better at investigating the odd egregious murder or ultra-high-value robbery, but preferring to act as, indeed, a poundland KGB, censoring and interfering with such matters as social media posts (often completely lawful even under the present repressive legal regime), or “enforcing” (and in fact going well beyond) the rules now laid down by an illegitimate ZOG political regime headed by a clown.
In fact, read this:
“Appearing on BBC Breakfast today, Superintendent Steve Pont from Derbyshire Police hit back at allegations he was ‘shaming’ dog walkers, claiming people were ‘looking for excuses and loopholes as to why they don’t need to stay at home when everyone else does.’ Supt Pont said his force was, ‘here to apply the law the government makes.’ “
[Daily Mail, about BBC TV Breakfast]
There we have the problem in a nutshell. A relatively senior officer of the police says that people were “looking for excuses and loopholes as to why they don’t need to stay at home when everyone else does.“, when in fact people, even under the absurd new law, do not have to stay at home. They are entitled to take daily exercise alone or with co-habitees, they are not prohibited from driving to that place of permitted exercise, they are not prohibited from driving a car or motorbike there or, arguably, anywhere so long as they do not get out and socialize. They are also permitted to shop for food, drink, medicine etc and are not prohibited from driving to shop.
Superintendent Plod, I mean Pont, of Derbyshire Police, has just decided to remake the new law in his own mind as “everyone has to stay at home unless the police permit”. No. No. No.
These social measures, now nodded into law overnight by 650 “democratically elected” idiots, cannot work unless the public supports them and plays ball. The police, by their panic-stricken bullying, risk being ignored if they keep pushing like this. The police should remind themselves that, if everyone ignores them, they are all but powerless.
People —or at least 99% of people— are willing to take reasonable measures to self-isolate, only shop or exercize with care once daily, socially distance, not socialize etc, but the hectoring and basically silly attitude of the police risks alienation of that public.
What after Coronavirus?
Coronavirus will not last longer than (maybe) June in the UK. By that time, either people will have had it (and recovered, in most cases) or infection will not be happening (because the virus lasts for only 1-4 weeks in people: those infected either do not show symptoms, or suffer from them, or die, within a few weeks of being infected); the virus only lasts for hours, days or, exceptionally, weeks on surfaces. The crisis should therefore be over by early Summer. Its damage to our politics, economy (especially) and law will then become apparent.
I need to blog separately about this.
Evening foray
No evening (or daytime) expedition to shops today. In fact, I have been the ideal “UK Coronavirus” citizen, sleeping half the day away and spending most of the rest of the time on the Internet, connected to the wide world.
I noticed that there was a beautiful crescent Moon, completely on its side like a Grail symbol. A planet (Venus?) was very clear too. Must have something to do with the clearer air across the world.
Final thought
Coronavirus will be effectively over by June or July this year, i.e. 3-4 months. The new government powers last until 2022 and the first vote to dispense with them will be only in September 2020. Will the System find an excuse to renew the powers?
Regular readers will know that I have written previously about Mike Stuchbery and his collaborator Roanna Carleton-Taylor (aka “@WitchOfPeace” and now “@AntiFashWitch”).
There was supposed to be legal action launched (at latest) by January 2020. So far, nothing.
Well, here we are pretty much at the end of February. Stuchbery and “AntiFashWitch” Roanna Carleton-Taylor (and their “full legal team”, meaning a Pakistani in a back room in a North of England rustbelt town) have still not launched the threatened legal action (or even served the preliminary paperwork) against Tommy Robinson/Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
It looks as though, as I blogged weeks and even months ago, Stuchbery, Roanna and the Pakistani have reached “peak mug”. No-one now wants to donate to their doomed lawsuit. Only £5 has been donated to the GoFundMe appeal in over a week, and over the past month or so, only £80 has come in.
Meanwhile, Stuchbery continues to travel around Germany, sending out feelers for any hospitality that might be on offer:
I'm in Munich this weekend. Do I know anybody there?
Though now based in Stuttgart with his “German” wife, Stuchbery is going to Munich and has been around the Bodensee (Lake Constance) this week:
Guys, for various reasons I've been down near the Bodensee a bit and I don't think I've ever come across a landscape that made me feel so… happy? pic.twitter.com/LBfEmtQVQd
Quite a feat for someone who claims to “work three jobs”…
Still, I am sure that the 689 mugs who —incredibly— have donated to his GoFundMe appeal (currently totalling £11,614), or to Stuchbery directly, will be glad that Stuchbery can enjoy life at their expense, despite the fact that there is obviously never going to be a lawsuit by him against Tommy Robinson.
nb. As explained previously in my blog posts, the above does not mean that I support Tommy Robinson either.
This blog
I am not sure quite why, but despite the brevity of today’s blog so far (I am going to combine it with tomorrow’s), my blog pages have had more visitors today than on any other day in the 3 years since I started: over 600 views (349 of this page alone), from over 300 visitors. All in about 4 hours or so, and with nearly 7 hours to run (time now is just after 1700 hrs). More than twice the usual number of views and visitors. A strange statistical anomaly.
Note
I notice that, I having been mentioned by Stuchbery on his Twitter account, all sorts of odd people and natural “followers” have started to tweet things about me, often inaccurate. Example? That I was a member of the British Movement in the 1970s. No, I never was, though I believe that I did briefly exchange a couple of not entirely friendly letters with the leader of the BM, Michael McLaughlin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McLaughlin]. 1978, I think.
It is a characteristic of Twitter that many remoras follow each shark. Thus today the Twitter “followers” of Stuchbery support him by tweeting against me. A few examples seen:
a minor author (very minor) says that I feel entitled to “judge” Stuchbery because (she says) I have “a History A Level”. I suppose that that is a guess on her part (and she herself purports to “judge” me merely because a few “antifa” idiots tweet rubbish about me);
some idiot says that I am a “disbarred solicitor” (actually, barrister, not solicitor; and solicitors are in any case not “disbarred” but “struck off”;
some ugly cow tweets that I “have issues” and adds, by way of proving that assertion, that I made a typo somewhere, typing “lawter” instead of “lawyer”;
another one tweets that I am “far far right” (in fact, I never use the lazy terms “right” and “left”). That one also tweets, illogically, “ignore…report”! To whom will you “report” me, anyway? I am not on Twitter and my blog is hosted by WordPress, an excellent American organization wedded to the principles of freedom of expression. The woman wanting me to be both ignored and “reported” seems to be part-Danish and living in Belgium. Judgment poor…
I am called “a typical embittered internet nonentity” by, er, a typical Twitter nonentity called “Spex, @_Hydrofish”, who has all of 135 Twitter followers (I had 3,000 when the Jewish lobby had me expelled);
“@WigNatKing” asserts that I work for “TR News”, the Tommy Robinson setup. No. Not only do I not work for TR News, but have never had contact with it and do not, as such, “support” Tommy Robinson.
These people are beyond sad…Their whole day is made up of tweeting to others of similar views, while denouncing and “reporting” those with whom they disagree (or those with whom they think that they disagree) to Twitter. For such people, Twitter is terribly important. Fools, mostly.
Incidentally, Stuchbery may claim that my existence has just been “brought to his attention”, but I think not. However, he has, by mentioning my blog on his Twitter output, just increased considerably the numbers of those reading my stuff. “One human soul is a big audience”, as someone or other (St. Thomas Aquinas?) once said.
As for Stuchbery talking about defamation etc (a trait that he shares with quite a few other —mostly ignorant— persons on Twitter), he not only will not sue me (nor will he sue anyone else) in defamation, but cannot (for a number of reasons). He was ranting or bleating about suing a load of Danes, in Denmark, recently (and demanding to know names of suitable libel lawyers in that jurisdiction, despite being entirely unable to pay any retained).
Someone should write a dystopian sci-fi novel in which a malefic organization sets up something akin to Twitter, convinces people that it is pretty much the most important thing in the world, then manages to deflect any discontent in the self-describing “aware” population to that platform.
In that non-existent novel, the “aware” or “woke” or “liberal” (and indeed “illiberal” and pro-multikulti) people then spend almost all of their time on “Twitter” or whatever, thinking that they are achieving something, showing off, virtue-signalling, not to forget denouncing “bad folk” on the platform, and (very important to those idiots) getting the controllers of the platform to expel those with whom the “aware” people disagree. Meanwhile, the real rulers and influencers carry on ruling and influencing, and the poor Twitter saps are entirely unaware of it.
MI5
Saw a 30-min doc. about the Security Service, presented by ITV’s Security correspondent, an Indian or South African Indian (I think) called something like Karroo. Irritating that supposed journalists now say things such as “Director-Generals” when they mean “Directors-General” (Laura Kuenssberg did it the other day: “Secretary of States”, when she meant “Secretaries of State”).
As to the film itself, interesting without being very enlightening. The most interesting bare fact was that MI5 has doubled its staff numbers in the past decade.
Hunted
Saw Hunted, a TV show I quite like, which involves fugitives and a hunter force. Somewhat contrived, as it would have to be to work at all, but good entertainment.
One of the fugitives had to go to Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, where I myself, aged 20-something, was supposed to be met in the market square at 0900 hrs once, about 40 years ago. Misjudging the distance and how long it would take me to get there overnight from Central London (without a car), I was there far too early, by about 0300!
I was soon found in the deserted and cold square by the friendly local police patrolman, who strolled around on his beat talking to me and telling me all about the local crime situation (there was a little crime, surprisingly— someone had tried a smash-and-grab not very long before; a few weeks before; arrested). His inspector arrived at one point, examined my “papers” (as they say in some countries) and had an equally friendly chat with me for a while before saluting and going back, as I supposed, to his police station. My people did arrive, dead on time at 0900 hrs. Moral? Early is nearly as bad as late when it comes to rendezvous.
Tom Watson
A few words about Tom Watson, who stepped down as MP [Lab., West Bromwich East 2001-2019] before the 2019 General Election. He would either have been deselected or lost the seat at that election. A Conservative presently holds the seat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Watson_(Labour_politician).
Seems that his attempt at emulating the witchfinder-general over child sexual abuse and the subsequent (and to some extent consequent) wrongheaded witchhunt, may result in the bastard losing out on the well-paid sinecure of being a “Lord”.
My reason to dislike Watson? Not because of his “hunt the paedophile VIPs” nonsense, nor because he was an expenses freeloader (he claimed the maximum allowed every year for groceries, £5,000 p.a.). His constituents of course had no idea that MPs could even get food for free! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Watson_(Labour_politician)#Expenses
No, my main reason to dislike Watson is because he was a total doormat for the Jewish lobby (Zionist lobby, Israel lobby) in the UK.
Watson supported malicious Zionist snoop organizations like the Community Security Trust [CST], “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [CAA] and “antifa” trash such as “Hope Not Hate”.
Watson undermined Labour and Corbyn non-stop, and was a major reason why we are now lumbered with Boris-idiot posing as PM. Also, though of less importance, he actually referred to Mike Stuchbery [see above] as a “journalist” in the House of Commons, thus making a fool of himself. Watson wanted to squash Tommy Robinson, of course.
Now? Well, I expect that the Jews will find some sinecure for the bastard if his House of Lords expectations come to nothing.
End of a busy day on my blog. 415 different visitors and no less than 783 views. 32 different countries. Nearly two-thirds of the views today were of today’s Diary Blog, the rest many and various previous blog posts. Amazing what “the oxygen of publicity” can do…
After midnight music
Some interesting tweets seen
This is the brief, almost hallucinatory moment in 2018 in which BBC's @vicderbyshire calmly challenges the antisemitism crisis narrative. Her show's been axed, of course, and nothing like it has ever been allowed to happen again. https://t.co/ennU31fhy4
The creator of 'Hunters' admits he made up events to "address our urgent present". He's trying to rile up people in a violent frenzy to attack anyone who criticizes Jewish behavior. https://t.co/uVwKHUrpt9pic.twitter.com/CjX09Oxf35
The Greta Thunberg phenomenon (public relations effort) is based primarily on hate. It emanates like a carbon emission from Greta Nut herself. It oozes from the tweets of the mainly rather stupid people who support her (I mean those who do not have the excuse of extreme youth). Here’s one:
“Bitter and twisted old gammony fucks“…meaning white BRITISH people who are not under-30, who have seen this country’s decline over 40-60 years and hate both that decline and what it means in terms of socio-cultural collapse.
If you tweeted the equivalent about blacks, Pakistanis, Jews etc, you would have the police and a host of special interest groups on your tail.
Oh, so it’s OK for Greta Nut to travel around the world, spouting complete nonsense, because she is making “old people” have strokes, apparently. Well, when I myself am on Mount Parnassus or wherever, I hope that I can look down on that idiot being abused in old age by the even-worse idiots no doubt to come.
I thought that this one [below] was a —not very clever— parody, but it seems not! I think that the bastard is serious!
In fact, despite all the publicity, not very many people have turned out to see and hear the mentally-disturbed Swedish autistic: the muddy and rainswept scene below was photographed about the same time that Greta Nut was arriving in the city.
Greta Thunberg is a 17 year old mentally-disturbed Swedish autistic who has no official or other qualifications in any scientific or other discipline, and no background in anything (how could she, at her age?)…
“A bunch of boomers“, by which the idiot above (who is “trashing the planet” every bit as much as any “boomer”, by the way) means, in reality, “I’m not responsible for anything! It’s all the fault of those older people!” Hey, now of whom does that attitude remind me? Oh, I know…
“A vast crowd“? About 500 or so, seems, maybe 1,000, but Julian Druker of ITN 5 News (yes, that’s right, an msm journalist…), seems determined to call the audience “vast”.
The assessment (below) of today’s photo-opportunity seems sensible:
Any idea why #GretaThunberg doesn’t protest in China, the US or Russia which have v high levels of emissions? UK’s are vanishingly small in global terms. Feels like we’re the safe target.
BTW, Louise Raw knows perfectly well who I am, because she tweeted about me a few weeks ago, annoyed that I had pointed out that, in the UK, it has never been considered acceptable to use a doctorate as a title unless one is an academic, a scientist in an institute, a medical graduate, or one in holy orders (there may be one or two other minor exceptions).
A “witch”, a “doctor”, a “journalist”/”historian”, and a shared ideology of delusion…What a bunch!
Four-fifths of the population of Europe are asleep…
Great to see the Mayor of #Bristol welcoming #GretaThunberg & the #ClimateStrike. Young people are among those most vulnerable to illegal & harmful #airpollution. The urgent actions needed will help tackle both problems so hopefully we'll see bold proposals put forward soon… https://t.co/JzAifp1qjU
Well, the crowd has certainly grown. Hard to estimate, and the crowd looks more numerous because of all the placards and umbrellas, but certainly in the thousands. 5,000? 10,000? Having said that, they have come from all over the UK, and even Bristol has nearly 500,000 inhabitants, so the crowd is only about 1% of the Bristol city population, or 1 in every 14,000 of the UK population, roughly. Really, it is a photo-opportunity and TV news opportunity for (those behind) Greta Thunberg.
Government policies and their consequences
Tory economic policy creates misery: A study has linked a spike in mental-health problems among the unemployed with the rollout of universal credit and other government welfare changes. There is no sign of any govt policy change.https://t.co/hGqNHg6s2D
Profits B4 People: Evidence that leasehold homeowners unfairly treated & prospective buyers misled by developers, escalating ground rents, disproportionate fees for routine maintenance, false info about converting leasehold to freehold. Need reforms.https://t.co/GeT39Kg3Om
Persimmon's £40m boss quits just over a year after the £75m one. The company built shoddy houses, milked the Help to Buy scheme, made profit of £65,657 on every house sold, fat-cattery has been rife. It should be investigated, banned from public contracts.https://t.co/DfWxJgquQq
The NHS is in a mess for a number of reasons, but a social health service, not run as a profit-making entity, is an essential in any modern civilized society. The alternative is not good.
“Antifa” cheerleader Mike Stuchbery, who labels himself “historian” and “journalist” as he travels around Germany as a kind of tourist, tweeted about me. That stimulated a far higher than normal throughput on my blog (with one hour to go, 1008 views in 2 days, so at least twice the usual number of views).
Looking at tweets about me arising from Stuchbery’s tweet, I find that only about a dozen (if that) were hostile, some neutral, a couple quite positive. Stuchbery may have done me a favour by tweeting about me. I should hate to have to be grateful to him!
Boris-idiot and Coronavirus
Saw a few minutes of Boris-idiot posing as Prime Minister tonight. Making a statement about this very serious situation of the Chinese Coronavirus. Scarcely able to stop himself smirking, obviously dying to clown or to tell a joke. Pitiful. The stupid bastard should not be where he is.
Midnight music
Update, 26 September 2020
Yet again, my predictions turn out as expected: Labour Party backstabber Tom Watson has indeed been found a sinecure (and a well-paid one, at an estimated £200,000 a year) as CEO of UK Music [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Music#History], a position formerly held by another doormat for the Jewish lobby (and, like Watson, a member of Labour Friends of Israel), Michael Dugher, the former MP for Barnsley East. Dugher in turn has been (((found))) a new position, even better-paid, as Chief Executive of the Betting and Gaming Council.
“It was announced on 14 October 2022, that as part of the 2022 Special Honours, Watson would receive a life peerage.[101] On 21 November 2022, he was created Baron Watson of Wyre Forest, of Kidderminster in the County of Worcestershire.[102]“
I start —very late— today, and with thanks to “Claudius”, an occasional commentator on the comment pages of my blog, who sent me the following short piece on Irish history; well worth reading:
In relation to the part of that article dealing with the Jewish-Zionist influence in contemporary Ireland, it seems that the existence of even a few “embedded” Jew Zionists (embedded in the “Establishment” or local power structure) can ruin a country. Indeed, that may be the result of even one such “embedded” Jew, as with Barbara Lerner Spectre in Sweden: see below).
[note the typical disconnect between “smiling” and any reason to smile. As someone once put it, “the simulacrum of the human”. Like a faulty electrical connection].
Another aspect of all this (and which affects the advanced parts of the world generally) is the existence and influence of the unpleasant System puppet, Greta Thunberg:
Where to start? Firstly, “Labour” and the “Conservatives” are not “two sides” politically in any meaningful sense. Two faces of one lying whole. The BBC is pushing the whole multikulti agenda to the max. It lies to the British people time and again, it pushes and promotes every kind of decadence, and that is before we even consider its overpayment of its supposed “stars”. Why is the former footballer Gary Lineker paid something like £2M a year to shoot the breeze about his sport? Why are newsreaders paid hundreds of thousands of pounds per year? And so on.
I am in favour of “public service broadcasting”, but most of the time the BBC is not it…
The Mayor of London cannot distinguish reality from semblance
Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Non-binary people are non-binary. All gender identities are valid. #LGBTHistoryMonth
There was a time when Sadiq Khan was spoken of as a possible leader of the Labour Party and even as a potential Prime Minister. That was then. Since then, he has failed to prevent multikulti London becoming a crime-ridden ant-heap split between masses of downtrodden people and the few who buy Georgian houses, fortify them, then excavate vast 10-storey dystopia-cellars below ground. In Xanadu, did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure-dome decree…
As always, credit where due: at least Sadiq Khan, by retaining his Tooting seat in 2010, prevented the evil Mark Clarke from becoming an MP. Clarke himself now has no prospect of ever becoming an MP and has been sacked at least twice for being a sex-pest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Clarke_(politician)
Well, what can one say? Doormatting for the Jew lobby, trying to curry favour with the wealthy or influential Jews (the rest are not of interest to her or Labour, because even en bloc they represent only 300,000 votes and most of them vote Conservative anyway). She also seems not particularly intelligent. And why quote the “IHRA definition” of “antisemitism” when it has been “adopted” by only about 15 countries out of nearly 200? Is that more doormatting?
Rebecca Long-Bailey may or may not become Labour leader (it seems unlikely) but whether she does or not, she will never be Prime Minister. I mean, just look at her…
Oh, God…look at this! She’s just a lunatic, or at least an unthinking “me too-er”:
“I want the right to self ID and I want that enshrined in law”#Marr asks if Labour leadership candidate Rebecca Long-Bailey will reform the 2010 Equality Act which upholds the right to single sex spaceshttps://t.co/98s1CEmj0Ypic.twitter.com/wEHVElNX73
I had no great interest in Rebecca Long-Bailey previously and knew little about her, but I see now what a very poor candidate she is. She is a walking, purse-lipped collection of politically-correct soundbites. How can she even in her wildest dreams see herself as a Prime Minister?!
Listening to Twitter clips of Rebecca Long-Bailey and her supporter Angela Rayner (candidate for Deputy Leader) on the Marr show, I really think that Labour must be on the way out, despite the fact that it had very considerable support among younger voters (under the age of 25, especially) at the 2019 General Election.
Long-Bailey disagrees with Corbyn: “I do not think it’s right to call Israel or the creation of Israel a racist endeavour; I think that’s antisemitic” https://t.co/roF3v42Hia
How does Rebecca Long-Bailey consider that Israel as a state is not a “racist endeavour”? It was founded by Jews for Jews! Yes, they do employ some others, mainly the Palestinian Arabs whose ancestors they defeated in their ethnic-cleansing war of 1948. Does that change the nature of the state? The whole enterprise is a Jew ethnostate! That is one reason (as well as a place to dump the Jews that Hitler wanted out of the Reich, out of Europe) why the Reich did not oppose its — then only potential— founding.
[Jerusalem, 1930s]
Ireland
After the recent Irish General Election, many are trawling news from past decades…
Watched a new episode of Endeavour. Quite well-executed as always, but the “agenda”, as in other series such as Grantchester etc, becomes so very obvious that it is silly. Every second character is black, South Asian or gay. This in the Oxford of 1970! Even the tinker “gypsy” children who find one of the bodies near their caravans are playing football with a black boy; and the mother of a “racist” teenager who is stabbed later blames the “British Movement” and its Parliamentary candidate, so redeeming herself as a true multikulti convertee. All a bit too desperate…
Endeavour has also continued the Inspector Morse and Lewis tradition of a few subtle or not so subtle jests in each film. In this case, a Bangladeshi restaurant called The Jolly Rajah and an apartment building called Tiffin Court…
Even leaving the above gripes aside, the plot this time was nowhere near as good as in most if not all previous episodes.
Hypocrisy Corner…
Tomorrow and the day after people will read attacks in the papers against people, echoed by social media which will lead to depression and death. The same people who mourn #ripcarolineflack will join the press’s hounding of others.
A few things about which the former fireplace salesman and (briefly) Defence Secretary (now Education Secretary) might think, as he plays with his pet spider and formulates ludicrous plans to “take on” Russia with converted tractors sporting machine guns and Coca-Cola trucks made into missile launch vehicles…
The BBC, in the catchphrase of Private Eye, “getsmuchworse”.
I heard a BBC World Service interviewer, interviewing a Georgian lady about the Stalin-era sanatoria at Tsqaltubo, near Kutaisi, in former Soviet Georgia
The item was quite interesting, but the absurd came in when the interviewee was asked who went there in Stalin’s day. The answer: Communist Party people, but also those who were considered to have been hard workers in their industry, such as mining. The BBC drone then referred to the miners as “the men and women miners”! Women miners?! To be fair to the BBC, there were a few in the Soviet Union at one time, but not many:
At least the idiot did not make tick-box reference to LGBT etc stuff…
Sadly, it seems that the ornate Stalin-era sanatoria, i.e. spa hotels, have been allowed to decay; that does not take long in a subtropical climate.
Postscript
Bloody hell! Even as I finished the above paragraphs, the BBC World Service, which is now just another bad joke, struck again, with some idiot talking about Brexit and UK fishing rights, and referring to “fish sold by UK fishermen…and fisherwomen.” UK “fisherwomen”?! Ha ha! The BBC idiot only just remembered to add “and fisherwomen”, in order to make his sentence clearly “non-sexist”. This country is so screwed, it’s not true…
Meanwhile, the “political correctness” madness is being challenged
“[A] policeman told Harry that he was in trouble for retweeting a ‘transphobic’ limerick.” [Daily Mail].
This is not a reworked Fawlty Towers or Monty Python sketch. This actually happened!
“He was told that he was also being investigated for tweeting support for BBC Woman’s Hour presenter Jenni Murray, who had been criticised by Oxford students after writing a newspaper article questioning whether transgender women are ‘real women’.” [Daily Mail]
“Harry was told in the conversation at Tesco that he had not broken the law but was guilty of a ‘non-crime’ hate incident. According to court papers, the constable explained to him: ‘Sometimes, a woman’s brain grows a man’s body in the womb and that is what transgender is.’” [Daily Mail]
“When Harry asked why the officer kept calling the person who had made the complaint a ‘victim’, when no crime had been established, he was told ‘that’s just how it works’.” [Daily Mail]
“Since the catch-all guidance was released, police forces have recorded at least 87,000 non-crime hate incidents — none of which break the law.” [Daily Mail]
The police drone actually said to the citizen now fighting back, “I need to check your thinking.” This is the police state emerging in plain sight.
I might add that I myself have been subjected to similar:
…and not only in that 2017 incident. A year later, in 2018, a mentally-disturbed Jewess (on medication), apparently resident in Barnet, North London, actually prevailed upon her local (((occupied))) police to telephone me and try to intimidate me into altering completely lawful posts on the GAB platform (the Jewish lobby had already had me expelled from Twitter).
The policeman (a constable) actually had the cheek to send me through the post a purported (but legally-ineffective) notice warning me about “harassment” (despite the fact that I had never had any direct contact with the said Jewess!)… In fact, I myself was the real victim of harassment, by that woman and by a pack of other Jews, all connected with the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” fake charity. I actually had to write to the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police and to the Barnet Police Borough Commander! Even then the same policeman tried to continue for a short while!
This is how the “rule of law” decays: when the police become politicized, subject to backstairs pressure, biased etc (not to mention both ignorant of the law and over-estimating the scope of their own *lawful* powers…).
Radio 4
Just listened on BBC Radio 4 at 0545 to some poor lady, grieving for her father, and droning on endlessly (as it seemed). I felt sorry for her, but this was, imo, not good radio. Have some regard for the listeners, for God’s sake!
Voting intention
I am not sure whether it means much, 4+ years before any likely general election, but for whatever it is worth, Survation has come out with a new poll:
Nothing much there. Conservatives at top by default, because so far they have been cautious about doing anything. Labour still moribund, LibDems, at 10% rather higher than I would have thought (maybe Remain signallers), and Brexit Party on 3% (who are they, that 3%?!) alongside Greens.
John le Carre is a very fine writer in his chosen field and, unlike most “spy writers”, has a wide appreciation of world politics and events. Most writers of “spy fiction” have at best a cartoon view of the world. Ian Fleming. Alastair Maclean. Frederick Forsyth. Others. I regret that I missed out on a lecture that Le Carre/Cornwell gave in or about 1981 at the G.B.-U.S.S.R. Association in Grosvenor Place, London.
The G.B.-U.S.S.R. Association, to which I belonged at the time, was an entity founded in 1958 and funded mainly by the Foreign Office (later, Foreign and Commonwealth Office). It had its funding radically cut in the 1990s and was split into parts after the Soviet Union ceased to exist. It even sold its library (a few volumes from which I was able to buy, though I came late to the party, having been overseas). It had by then moved from its fine building at the rear of Buckingham Palace to a soulless office tower in Vauxhall. The FCO finally cut off funds from its successor-entities in 2002.
Le Carre’s lecture was, I was told, one of the best talks ever given at the Association.
Having said the above, merely being a fine writer does not bestow infallibility. I doubt that there has ever been a better travel writer than Jan Morris:
yet Morris is in some respects also very silly indeed, judging purely from the political point of view (e.g. Morris espousing faux Welsh nationalism on the strength of having been born half-Welsh and having resided for a number of decades in Wales).
I have to say that I am disappointed to see that Le Carre/Cornwell, in that Guardian transcript, said that he was a Remainer and a European, as if the EU equates to Europe. That oft-seen conflation. No. I myself am a European, a white Northern European, but have always, on balance, opposed the EU. I am ethnically and culturally European. That is what matters.
One apparent fact given by Le Carre/Cornwell in the Guardian transcript did, as people now say, “surprise but not shock” me: it seems that Olof Palme was once an “intern” at Swedish Intelligence. I did not know that. His Wikipedia entry does not mention it (neither does it mention Palme’s quite long-running secret affair with the American actress Shirley MacLaine; Wikipedia is likewise not infallible):
What I know about Swedish intelligence and security would scarcely fill the back of a postcard, but I see that their security service has its own jaunty website:
Olof Palme always struck me as rather sinister. His assassination was never publicly solved, though two separate suspects were arrested, one eventually emigrating to the USA and the other being convicted of the assassination, but released on appeal two years later.
Admittedly, Swedish prisons are not usually like that. The original Swedish-language Girl with the Dragon Tattoo lost me at one point, when the investigative journalist seems to be in some kind of hostel or inexpensive hotel reception; it took me another viewing to understand that that was a Swedish prison!
Collapse of smug, virtue-signalling party...
I have no present plans to return to twitter. And I shan't monitor responses to these two tweets. But I wanted to say something for those who have kindly supported my work for the last three and a half years.
I have never been there. I doubt that I would like it much.
I have lived in a number of countries in my life, from my own land, the UK (much of my life from 1956 to 2020); Australia (<3 years aged 10-13 in the late 1960s); USA (about 2 years altogether within the years 1989-1993 in New Jersey and New York City, and then, much later, shorter business and personal trips to South Carolina and Florida); France (4 years but commuting every couple of weeks to the UK); Kazakhstan (one year, 1996-1997); Rhodesia (part of 1977); Turkey (4-5 months altogether), Egypt (about 3-4 months altogether), the Eastern Caribbean (a few months). Shorter visits and holidays etc have been many and varied, from Moscow to Cayman, Liechtenstein to Alderney, Tunisia to Poland (where I spent a total of, probably, about 3 months in the late 1980s), North Cyprus to Qatar, among many others.
Now? I am too European —and maybe too advanced in years now— to live in countries controlled by non-Europeans (and to tolerate their dirt and disorganization).
Well, seems that those who said that the thick princeling would end up being taken to Hollywood were not wide of the mark…
That pair have become mere “celebrities” in a milieu where it sometimes seems that everyone and his dog is a “celebrity”. Even the Jew-Zionist lawyer, Mark Lewis, and his “she-once-read-Sky-News” second wife (the marriage lasted nearly a year) were posing as “celebrities” about 6 years ago. Now Caroline Feraday is a single mother (no, not Lewis, apparently), and is living in a small house in an obscure Californian suburb, and working in an office, while Lewis himself, now living in Israel, was found to have sent a number of people obscene or offensive messages while, it was said in his defence (!), almost doolally on prescription drugs. Censured and fined by the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018, he was let off a heavier fine because having been, in effect, sacked by his law firm, the Tribunal heard that his only assets were his vulgar clothes, a pension worth £70 a week and a mobility scooter! Even his car was provided by the DWP, via the Motability scheme! The “top libel lawyer”…
Beware the “celebrities”…
Jess Phillips
A couple of things today re. uncultured loudmouth Jess Phillips, who thinks that she could be a prime minister! In the American vernacular, JESUS H. CHRIST!
Jess Phillips is a real freeloader even compared to most MPs:
Jess Phillips claimed £207,157 in expenses in 2018. Of this £157,490 was spent on staffing (her husband works for her). Another £24,269 was claimed for office costs, £21,696 for accommodation and £3,626 for travel. She claimed £48k more than anyone else! For doing what??
The other thing is that I have still not been able to prove that Jess Phillips is maybe part-Jew or has some familial Jewish connection, which I have long suspected; but I notice that the Twitter Jew-Zionist cabal seem to favour her and, only today, I saw some System talking head tweeting about how it was “antisemitic” to oppose Jess Phillips. “The shark can scent blood a mile away when he is hungry…” [Control in The Spy Who Came In From The Cold]

Ha ha! Oh, yes, the voters of Redcar voted to support the Jews! That’s plausible (not)…
Anna Turley was known as completely pro-Israel etc, so why did the Redcar voters not support her and vote for her and so, via her, the Jews? (though I concede that it may just be that the Redcar electorate is composed of badly-educated plebs easily fooled by the Sun “newspaper”. I have never been there, so cannot say).
I have blogged about this before, but it has now gone way beyond a joke when almost every single TV ad has to have a mixed-race couple (usually black man with white and often blonde woman) and usually mixed-race offspring. In fact, the situation now is worse even than it was when I blogged about that. It’s plainly a conspiracy, a kind of social engineering aimed at children and the young generally. Normalizing such liaisons.
