Well, this week I score 7/10, thus again beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 5, and 7.
Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor
The first instalment of what happened in Wilson v Mendelsohn, Newbon and Cantor is now live.
Includes a laboured joke about Mark Lewis of Patron Law being only the seventh best lawyer in the case.
As blogged previously, many times, I pity anyone who has Jewish fanatic Mark Lewis as his or her solicitor (and, yes, I do know that he has been on the winning side sometimes, though usually in open-and-shut cases).
Anyone interested in my views about Lewis (who was wont to tweet pathetic and men tally-disturbed insults about me, for years) can simply type his name into the search box on the blog.
Extract from James Wilson’s Substack blog:
“Mark Lewis and Patron Law – Patron Law’s website states that Mr Lewis is the “UK’s foremost media, libel and privacy lawyer”. This is a bold claim. In an email to me dated 1 March 2023 Mr Lewis stated “I do not think that you will succeed [at trial] given that [the person who published the Facebook post originally] has indicated that she honestly held the opinion that you were a weirdo. … However, that is the point of litigation and you might be able to persuade the Court that [she] did not hold an honest opinion that you are a weirdo.”
Mr Lewis’ statements make no sense at all and suggest a frightening lack of understanding about defamation law and the issues for trial. That Mr Lewis charges £600/hour for analysis such as this is mind-boggling. In reality: the opinion of the person who published the Facebook post that I was a weirdo, and whether I could persuade the court she did not hold that opinion, were irrelevant. What actually had to be proven – by the defendants – was that the defamatory statements in the screenshot were factually true, or their own honest and reasonable opinion. The defendants’ case here completely fell apart when the person who originally published the Facebook post gave evidence for them at trial. She was a truly awful witness whose evidence the judge found to be “wholly incredible” and “plainly untrue”.
There’s an old joke about Ringo Starr: “Ringo wasn’t the best drummer in the world… Let’s face it, he wasn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles”. Given what is above, the equivalent joke here is: “Mr Lewis is not the UK’s foremost libel lawyer… Let’s face it, he may have been only the seventh best libel lawyer in the Wilson v Mendelsohn case, behind four other libel lawyers and Wilson and Mendelsohn themselves, and they were amateurs.”

One of the peculiarities of the modern mindset, seen since the 19thC, is the tendency to believe that those with enormous amounts of money are either giant villains or near-saints, and in both cases hugely intelligent. Not always the case. Many are average or somewhat above-average minds, and may or may not be correct on this issue or that.

“Do Afrikaners think that the South African post-apartheid government ruined South Africa? It is not a matter of what Afrikaners think: the evidence is there for all to see.
There are 120 known murders per day in So Africa,
gender-based violence is horrific,
youth unemployment is around 50%,
sewage runs in the streets, water supplies are erratic,
the police participate in murders and kidnappings when not renting out their uniforms and weapons,
the education system has failed,
infrastructure is not maintained and is collapsing while money is siphoned off,
mafias are holding up construction work and kill for 30% of total cost of the projects,
cabinet ministers are implicated in crime,
pals of politicians (some illiterate), are being appointed as ambassadors,
corruption and nepotism are in every sphere of life,
mafias have been allowed to reduce commuter trains to rubble to benefit the taxi mafia.
There is no concern for the poor and the poorest of the poor, except when an election is approaching.“

Yet thick-as-two-short-planks Nelson Mandela is still revered as some kind of secular saint and great mind in the UK. Pathetic. Largely the result of the propaganda put about in the 1970s and 1980s by biased idiots such as the BBC’s John Humphrys.
The old South Africa had its flaws, but what is now there is so much worse.

One cannot help but think that California, especially the southern and central coastal parts, is a massive catastrophe waiting to happen, as portrayed in so many of the Hollywood films. Earthquake, fire, tsunami, race war, alien invasion etc. You name it.
Labour hated, “Conservatives” (under a silly and useless Nigerian woman carpetbagger) despised, LibDems a dustbin for uncertain votes, or a non-choice. Result— Reform UK, though underwhelming, as a straw at which to clutch, and at the same time a serious protest vote.
According to Electoral Calculus, that, at a General Election, would make Reform UK the official Opposition: Labour 269 Commons seats, Reform 149, Conservatives 101, LibDems 73, Greens 6. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.
The most likely outcome there would of course be a Lab/LibDem coalition, or maybe a Lab minority govt. with LibDem support. If either of those, then there might be a LibDem demand for proportional representation, to replace the current ridiculous First-Past-The-Post voting system.
Incidentally, such a voting result would also mean that about 143 Labour MPs would be culled, and another 20 Con Party MPs would also lose their seats.
Also incidentally, if that result were to be changed in only one small aspect, Reform UK going up from 25% to 26% (with all other vote shares unchanged), the end result would be Lab 259, Reform 173, Con 87, LibDems 73, Green 6. That would be existentially disastrous for the Con Party

“Why is Britain going bankrupt and what might this mean? Let’s take a look.
First it is worth noting, Labour et al might calm the markets in the short-term but what markets are telling us is that there is a festering problem – even if this goes away in the coming weeks it will keep coming back.
There are short-term and long-term trends driving the bankruptcy; a few of the long-term trends are poor resource allocation in the public sector, aging population and low growth; short-term trends are basically COVID-19 spending and spending on energy price guarantees due to Ukraine war – also BoE’s enormous losses from QE aren’t helping.
Britain can always print money to finance its debt but the problem is that foreign debt sales keep sterling propped up which, in turn, keeps UK living standards propped up at an artificial level; if sterling were allowed fall to close the large trade deficit and Britons were forced to live within their means, living standards would be lower – probably significantly lower.
If/when the bankruptcy takes place there are basically two paths that it can take: either the government impose harsh austerity, likely by handing the reins to the OBR and the Treasury, or the country is put into receivership and the keys are handed to the IMF.
There is some talk that the IMF option is like what happened in 1976 – yes and no; in 1976 UK government debt was below 50% of GDP and while the country’s trade deficit was large it had only opened two years beforehand; today government debt is well over 100% of GDP and the trade deficit is not only enormous but has been enormous for 20 years (!).
Britain lives beyond its means by managing capital via the City of London; rather than producing goods to export the country tries to attract capital inflows sustain higher levels of consumption than the economy would naturally allow – but a serious crisis will change all this making the situation very different to 1976.
In 1976 the UK was really just trying to stabilise sterling amidst some troublesome worldwide inflationary pressures while today the country needs to be treated like the typical patient that the IMF gets its hands on.
Nor would such an austerity program even look like, say, Ireland after 2011 which was aimed at bringing down wage costs and making the country competitive again – this meant that the country went through a few years of pain and recession but then emerged with their living standards intact and started growing once more.
Rather any austerity program that is applied by Britain – whether by the IMF or by OBR-Treasury, or some combination of the three – would look more like what happened to Greece after 2011: a managed, permanent decline in living standards.“
Is there a silver lining? There would be, if all the above led to a real social-national government and “a revaluation of all values“…
That tweeter is easily brainwashed, it seems. Never saw his tweets previously. They seem pretty silly, pretty unthinking.
Ah, just noticed that the tweeter works for Private Eye. What a co-incidence…
System drones Ian Hislop and Andrew Marr attack Elon Musk. There is an agenda here, as in “the public should trust the System mass media“.
Hislop, together with his totally unfunny pseudo-satire Have I Got News For You cabal, is to our society what the supposedly funny, supposedly satirical, Krokodil magazine was to Soviet society. Meaning— approved “satire” by approved “satirists” attacking “safe” targets.
Hislop has made a good thing for himself (and his bank balance) out of attacking “the right” targets. The same or similar might be said of Marr. Look at how they think, or want the public to think, that the mainstream media can be trusted. It could be called stupid to think like that, but Hislop knows exactly what he is doing.
As for Marr, a disgraceful System-approved journalist. His views? See below:

“A pensioner was visited by armed police at his house after ‘jokingly’ asking a Barclays bank agent whether he needed to walk into a branch with ‘a bomb strapped to my shirt to get some attention’.
Eric Trim, 75, from Royston, Hertfordshire, was mystified after discovering that his £14,000 bank account was closed due to inactivity just weeks before Christmas.
The pensioner was forced to take out a loan to buy Christmas presents for his children and grandchildren before spending more than four hours on the phone to various different Barclays agents to resolve the issue.
After feeling as though he was getting ‘nowhere’ with each representative, he snapped in frustration and in a ‘tongue-in-cheek way’ said he will ‘walk into your bank in Cambridge’ and ‘tell them I’ve got a bomb strapped to my shirt to get your attention.’
Just two weeks later, two armed police officers arrived at his house to arrest him and suspended his firearms licence due to him being listed as a ‘threat’.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, the 75-year-old slammed Barclays bank for showing ‘no care’ towards him and questioned whether Britain has become a ‘police state’ after the officers arrived at his door.“
[Daily Mail]
That report just typifies so much about how Britain now operates.
Someone’s bank account closed down for no good reason.
The inability of a huge and profitable company (in this case, Barclay’s Bank) to deal with a simple enquiry and matter.
The afraid-of-their-own-shadows Barclay’s employees, who obviously ticked some kind of box as an excuse for their own incompetence and the bank’s inability to operate in a customer-friendly way.
Or maybe, the bank drones were the kind of idiots who, during the 2020-2022 “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, reported people for not wearing a facemask muzzle etc.
Finally, the equally-boxticking behaviour of the police plods, who obviously did not really believe that the bank customer was “a threat“, looking at how they took two weeks after complaint was made to go to his house and arrest him (and then justified their unnecessary arrest by ticking another box and suspending his shotgun licence; thus they can now close the case with “appropriate action” having been, supposedly, taken…).
The fact that the police arrived and rang the doorbell, when they supposedly viewed the poor chap as “a threat” who had a shotgun as well as, in the Barclays/police fantasy, a bomb, says it all.
Pathetic.
As to whether Britain has become a “police state”, yes it has, though (so far) mainly a pathetic velvet-glove one, and one which attacks mainly decent citizens, not the rabble who should be dealt with.
Vladimir Zelensky could face a reduction in financial support from the European Union due to the negative consequences that Europe began to face after the suspension of Russian gas transit through Ukraine, Forbes writes.

At present, people are not only being prosecuted for “offences” of having allegedly published “unpleasant” comments but also for having published serious comment relating to important social and political (and historical) matters inconvenient to certain groups, especially the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. I should know. I myself have been victimized, for about 12 -13 years, by the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel lobby. What infuriates that lobby the most is that I refuse to be a victim. I continue to stand up for right, justice, and truth.
The articles below are presented in chronological order, from 2017 through to 2024.
The detail can be read, in part, in those articles but, overall, the anti-free speech campaign against me (and many others) has been spearheaded since 2014 by the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, which has relatively few active supporters, even in the UK Jewish “community”, yet presents itself as if in a leadership role. Jewish and/or pro-Israel employees of TV and radio stations make sure that the tiny handful of “CAA” spokespersons are given airtime, while unethical scribblers quote the “CAA” types in a few of the newspapers.
In reality, the “CAA” consists of a small handful of more or less full-time activists, and a larger but still very small number of supporters (some of which are plainly deranged).
Well, there it is. So far, the Jew-Zionists (the “CAA” and also “UKLFI”— “UK Lawyers for Israel”) have managed to have me disbarred (albeit 8 years after I had completely ceased work as a barrister), have me removed from Twitter (in 2018; pre-Elon Musk), have had the police telephone me and/or turn up at the door of my now-humble home several times over the past decade, and have had me subjected 2-3 times to “voluntary” (really, involuntary) police interviews.
The “lobby” has also now (in 2023; sentence in 2024) procured my prosecution and conviction under the “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (despite that Act having been recommended for repeal by the Law Commission).
Naturally, I pleaded Not Guilty (as I always would, were any other attempt to be made) and nearly succeeded, but was found guilty (on very dubious grounds), which resulted (a few months later) in my being sentenced to a 9-month “community order” (i.e. akin to the old “probation”) and which turned out to consist of half a dozen or so short chats —lasting 30 to 120 mins— with a rather charming young probation lady, and also a financial penalty (mainly notional court costs) amounting to £734 (over a third of which was paid by a few generous people who gave to a crowdfunder I set up on GiveSendGo).
I might have succeeded on appeal, but decided that the gamble was not worth the extra trouble and expense, on that occasion.
I was sentenced in mid-March 2024. My “probation” period lasted officially until December 2024 but in reality finished in early September 2024.
Still, I remain politically active in terms of comment, and the blog has been published uninterruptedly right through all that process and nonsense. Almost daily.
Any further attempts to prosecute me or to close down the blog will be met with the same resistance and contempt.
We shall see what transpires. “It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings” (at Wessex CPS, aka the “Clown” Prosecution Service, or generally).
Incidentally, quite a few of those who have tried to persecute me over the years have fallen victim to various medical conditions, or other dispensations of Fate; some have died.

Cloud cuckoo, did he pay you in kind for that tweet.
The name George Foulkes struck a faint chord, so I looked it up.
Turns out that George Foulkes was born in Shropshire in 1942, was educated partly privately, and was awarded a degree in psychology from Edinburgh in or about 1963-64, after which he apparently managed to avoid having to work in any job or profession (unless you include being f/t President of the Scottish Union of Students and then a local councillor) until elected as Labour MP in 1979 (he tried to become an MP in both 1970 and 1974 but failed).
Foulkes’ time as an MP was undistinguished. He tried to have Space Invaders and similar games banned in 1981 in case they caused “deviancy“, and introduced a few other private members bills which also got nowhere. He served on a few committees, for which he presumably received more money and/or expenses.
Foulkes was appointed a Labour shadow minister in 1992, but was forced to resign in 1993, having assaulted a policeman while drunk (and disorderly).
Foulkes, as both MP and peer, has belonged to a number of Commons committees dealing with the Caribbean, and thereby has received a large number of freebie trips (in effect, holidays) to the Caribbean.
Foulkes —naturally— tore the **** out of his expenses as an MP and, after having been elevated to the Lords, did the same as a peer. Wikipedia notes that his claimed “expenses” as “Lord” Foulkes during the financial year 2007-2008 alone amounted to nearly £55,000, worth about £100,000 in the money of 2025. He was also one of those Labour “parliamentarians” who tried to suppress exposure of his own and all other expenses claims.
Foulkes also “served” (and was well-paid) as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) during 2007-2011. No doubt he claimed plenty of expenses that way too.
The bastard also belongs to Labour Friends of Israel (what a surprise…). He favoured the invasion of Iraq. He was part of the anti-Corbyn caucus in Labour, needless to add.
So there it is. What a useless person, sadly typical of so many careerist, moneygrubbing, System-party politicians. “Dirty democratic politicians“, as Hitler called the Weimar Republic equivalent. These days, the word “democratic” might as well be omitted, of course.
Foulkes really should not be tweeting about honesty, integrity, and humanity…
Why are we importing hundreds of thousands of people into Australia from cultures which are completely at odds with our own? Why don’t we relax the regulations for people who wish to flee the UK instead. 🇦🇺🇬🇧
Sadly, Australia, where I lived and went to school for three years in the late 1960s, seems to have been making the same mistakes (promoted by the same or similar malicious groups…) as the UK and much of Europe. Plainly put, importing useless blacks and browns, and others such as Chinese. What a pity. So unnecessary and destructive.
For those unaware, Russian Orthodox Christmas is a couple of weeks behind because the Russian Orthodox Church (though not the rest of Russia) uses the Julian Calendar rather than the Gregorian. Thus, in Russia, Christmas Day is tomorrow, the 7th of January 2025.

“Here’s how all Zionist arguments collapse upon the slightest examination: “We were here first”: no, the Canaanites were, and many Palestinians have Canaanite DNA (& Jewish DNA as well, per Ben Gurion himself). Now prove yourself each of you is a direct descendant of someone who inhabited this land!
“We’re returning to our homeland” so said the French & Italians in Libya & Algeria “we are returning to & recovering Roman lands.” “But the West Bank is ours b/c of the bible”, that’s not how international law works, its utmost principle is a prohibition on acquisition of territory by force; i.e. you can’t just steal land by conquest & military power anymore!
“God promised it to us”; a) good luck arguing this in court. B) then why did he take it away from you for 2000 years? “We had a Jewish kingdom on this land for about 250 years”: and Muslims have been sovereign on this land for 1400 years! Does Greece have a right today to occupy Turkey’s Istanbul/Constantinople b/c it was once part of the Byzantine empire?
“The world gave us Israel in 1947”: no they didn’t & they don’t have the right to! The UN then had only 57 members out of 193 member states today. Even then, & despite intense US/Zionist lobbying & intimidation, only 33 states voted for (mostly white) the Partition Plan as a proposal. The partition resolution was never voted on at the UN Security Council.
“But we were persecuted in Europe for centuries culminating with the Holocaust”: but why should I pay the price of European savagery & antisemitism?
“We have a right to return 2,000 years later”, then why doesn’t my grandma have that right only 76 years later?
That’s why no state has a “right to exist”. Because who/what gave them that right?
Despite all this, Palestinians unrequitedly recognised Israel over 3 decades ago, accepted its existence as a fait accompli, & accepted less than 22% of our homeland; & that is called today “Palestinian maximalism/rejectionism”, while Israel offering us caged bantustans worse than apartheid South Africa is call “a generous offer”!
[Ashkenazic Jews in Jerusalem, c. 1885. God’s sake! Just look at them!]
“New research suggests that the majority of the world’s modern Jewish population is descended mainly from people from ancient Turkey, rather than predominantly from elsewhere in the Middle East.
The new research suggests that most of the Jewish population of northern and eastern Europe – normally known as Ashkenazic Jews – are the descendants of Greeks, Iranians and others who colonized what is now northern Turkey more than 2000 years ago and were then converted to Judaism, probably in the first few centuries AD by Jews from Persia. At that stage, the Persian Empire was home to the world’s largest Jewish communities.
According to research carried out by the geneticist, Dr Eran Elhaik of the University of Sheffield, over 90 per cent of Ashkenazic ancestors come from that converted partially Greek-originating ancient community in north-east Turkey.“

Could Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet be less competent?
Box-ticking former bureaucrat lawyer Starmer himself, Rachel Reeves the fake “economist” (aka “Rachel from Accounts” and/or the customer complaints dept, Halifax Building Society), “Refugees Welcome” idiot, expenses cheat and would-be dictator, Yvette Cooper, thick-as-two-short-planks “Deputy Prime Minister” Angela Rayner (and the rest).
It has already, after 6 months, got to the point where it is glaringly obvious that this fake “Labour” government has no more competence, indeed maybe even less, than had those of Sunak, Truss, “Boris”-idiot, May, and Cameron-Levita.
Interesting. The best aspect of that, were it to happen, would be the dismay amid the “woke” rabble of new Starmer-Labour MPs, over 150 of them, as they lose their seats and are forced to contemplate having to go back to doing mundane and probably badly-paid jobs again.

Europe’s largest economies, from 1961 to 2024. Interesting to see how some of the countries have improved or downgraded. Turkey, in particular, registered growth in the mid-sections of the list; East Germany/DDR was fairly high until the 1980s, when it fell like a stone. West Germany was high, and indeed at the top even before it absorbed the Eastern part in the 1990s, and has been pre-eminent since then. The Soviet Union as a whole was the largest economy overall for some time, but fell back in the 1980s, after which Russia started to climb, despite missing the other former Soviet republics, and has for some time been one of the five strongest economies (overall), in the top five. The UK has been in the top five consistently.
Of course, were that graphic to be expressed per capita rather than in gross terms, the situation would look very different.
Did you know there was a time when America was Art Deco, a blend of elegance and precision, marked by soaring towers and unshakable optimism?
Even after the Art Deco era, America was pre-eminent in terms of confident presentation at least, until the 1960s. Look, e.g., at a film such as North by Northwest (1959), with its ambience of, inter alia, Modern Movement architecture, as well as, later in the film, the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright.
I think the SRA have spotted a great opportunity for solicitors. If you're a solicitor, you find a reason to drop your client, come back on as an 'advisor', and do the work in any way, anyhow you like, not bound by any rules and regs. It encourages enterprise and initiative.
That refers to the egregiously poor, dishonest, and negligent behaviour exhibited by “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who is now supposedly domiciled in Israel, though he seems to spend much of his time in the UK, either making money out of clients (who seem rather poorly served), or thinking up stunts to publicize “antisemitism” and at the same time make money out of possible “compensation” (as in the failed stunt at the Reginald D. Hunter show at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, when he cooked up a plot with his wife, Mandy Blumenthal, and Daily Mail junior scribbler Sabrina Miller). See
My own opinion is that, after the contrived Jew-Zionist storm that ensued after the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal reprimanded Lewis and fined him in 2018, the SRA is running a bit scared of the Jew-Zionist lobby and their characteristic contrived “claque” behaviour.
I expect you are puzzled to be tagged in by X’s loudest KC, Simon Myerson?
Myerson is again showing off his unerring grasp of the facts – for which he is renowned – and has got you completely muddled with Newbon’s employer @NorthumbriaUni.
Well, Myerson was sacked as a Recorder (p/t judge) after not very long. As for “KC”, I have noted before on the blog how it signifies not very much these days: in 1938, the later Lord Denning took silk, with three others, I believe, but in 2024 no less than one hundred silks (KCs) were appointed. “More will mean worse“, as Kingsley Amis said once in another context.
Many thanks to those of you who sent me this from Simon Myerson KC.

That idiot seriously thinks that Britain was “dominant“, internationally, about 24 years ago! What planet is he on? Britain was then not only within the trammels of the EU etc, but was the “poodle” of the then Bush jnr. administration in the United States.
It really is about time that the British people demanded a lot more from the “security and intelligence” bods, or just dumped them, or most of them.
What has weakened Britain has been a combination of the migration-invasion, together with the changing demographics of the UK, the sliding standards in all areas of society, cultural degeneration, and the domination of the UK’s government, political life, courts, policing and mass media, inter alia, by the Israel lobby. Oh, and the near-collapse and uselessness of our armed forces (etc).
But the CAA collection aren't honest. Plus they are a charity run by intel svcs which is illegal.
The “CAA” cabal, effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, can be called (as blogged about in the past) a malicious little cabal. They threaten a lot, suborn police and CPS officials, are a damned nuisance, but accomplish little even by their own standards.
They should not, of course, be treated as a charity. For one thing, they are directly political; for another, the activity of the “CAA” exhibits no “public benefit”.
Myerson likes his drink a bit too much, according to eye witnesses in Leeds..
Is that true (about Myerson being a heavy drinker)? I have no idea, though if true it might partly explain his vituperative social media activity, which was at least part of the reason he was sacked (sub nom “resigned”) as a Recorder earlier in 2024. He certainly seems to stay up late, tweeting. Drinking too? As I say, I have no idea.

Saw an episode which had the former MP and Cabinet minister Justine Greening on one team. Her ignorance, though frankly unsurprising to me, should be regarded as shocking in a former Cabinet minister. She even thought that Fulham is south of the river Thames! Remarkable, in view of the fact that she lives, or lived, in Putney…
Strange woman. Once involved with the ghastly mixed-race “Conservative” activist and notorious bully, Mark Clarke (featured in the past on the blog and now, like Justine Greening herself, politically —and maybe otherwise— washed-up). I read that she is now what the Russians call a “lesbianka“, though that may or may not be the case.
A good week for me: 9/10, thus beating —again— political journalist John Rentoul, who scored a more modest 6/10. I did not know the answer to question 8.

Though Powell would never have spelled “dependants” in the American fashion as above. No matter. The quotation is otherwise correct, and accurate in terms of Powell’s prediction. The only thing he got wrong was in the numbers. If as few as 50,000 non-Europeans were to invade the UK in 2024 or 2025, even Reform UK, even the rump of the NF or BNP, indeed even I (perhaps) would be sighing a sigh of relief.
At present well over a million a year are flooding in; about 1.4M. Only a couple of hundred thousand are leaving in the same time period, together with 50,000-100,000 Brits. That means over a million more inhabitants each year, which would be unsustainable even if they were all British, or white Northern European generally. However, a million more a year, of which many, indeed most, are useless, parasitic, criminal, or downright hostile to European culture and people, is indeed mad, just mad. It must lead to the breakdown of society sooner or later, probably sooner.
In fact, as the links clearly show, the father was “typical” in that, despite making millions out of commercial litigation, he supported not only thick-as-two-short-planks would-be black revolutionist Nelson Mandela but also the (other) terrorists (Africans and Jews) put on trial with Mandela in the Rivonia trial of 1963-64 (they intended to start a race war against white European people in South Africa). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivonia_Trial.
Incidentally, if you look at the tweets of Matthew Stadlen, which I have just been doing (for the first time, I think, certainly the first time for a number of years), you see that he is socio-politically confused. He welcomes the end of the Assad government in Syria, but lashes out at a tweet by Kelvin Mackenzie who makes the point that the 30,000 Syrians now in the UK as asylum-seekers or grantees can now go back.
Likewise, Stadlen praises the open spaces he and his dogs are able to enjoy in southern England, yet wants migrant-invaders to be allowed to arrive unimpeded, and to be housed (etc) at UK-taxpayer expense.
Meanwhile, “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer and his thick-as-two-short-planks supposed “deputy”, Angela Rayner, prepare to trash even more of England so that hutches for migrant-invaders can be built on a massive scale.
Again, Stadlen seems irritated by the decline of London into a city of crime, violence and anti-social behaviour, but fails (wilfully, I think) to note who is actually doing the vast majority of that…
Appreciate your answering but won't pretend I understand these particular distinctions on advising. I don't think it really addresses the issues you raised in your first tweet. Seems evasive to this layman.
“So, one of the things the SRA seem to be saying – and I think this comes from the very top, Juliet Oliver, general counsel – is; – a solicitor can continue to advise a former client where a conflict has arisen between that solicitor and client – so long as the solicitor only advises the client and does not ‘act’ by communicating with third parties or the court.” [James Wilson]
I mean I could guess what sort of response the SRA would get, and what sort of epitaphs would be used against them, if they reined in what I also regard as excessive generosity.

Some readers of the blog may be aware that Myerson is a Jew-Zionist barrister, based mainly in Leeds. Indeed, he holds letters patent as King’s Counsel (which is no longer the distinction it once was), and was sacked as Recorder (p/t judge) earlier this year (though permitted to “resign”, officially) after his vituperative tweets became notorious, and after he ignored his initial “warning off” from the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.
Only yesterday, Myerson was tweeting that the Russian Ambassador should be forced to give evidence in court, then arrested when “we do not believe him“. A strange thing for any barrister to tweet, seemingly in ignorance of both diplomatic immunity (under the 1961 Vienna Convention and/or longstanding customary international law) and the English law re. perjury.
I can only presume that Myerson was making some kind of peculiar joke (funny only to him); which, in a sense, is even more disturbing.
Myerson’s own testimony for the defence in the recent defamation case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Cantor and Newbon (deceased) was not thought worthy of being given any weight by the judge presiding. The claimant, Wilson, won his case, overall. See https://x.com/per_incuriam2.
Incidentally, Myerson is a member or supporter of both “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] and the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which latter undertook that private prosecution against the defendant Michael Derham. The memberships or support cadres of those “well-funded” little organizations overlap to some extent.
Myerson is also wrong (arguably, or in my view) in having tweeted that the court “convicted” that defendant, Myerson having not explained that the defendant pleaded guilty. There was no trial.
It seems that the sentence was a fine and costs amounting to a total of £1,000, to be paid off at £100 a month.
I recently wrote on the blog about how people accused of political crime, and prosecuted (as in such a case as the above), should always plead Not Guilty. My view on that is that such prosecutions (especially abusive private ones brought by such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) should never be validated by a plea of Guilty. Yes, there is the (notional) danger of a heavier sentence if found guilty, but the difference will not be great in most cases.
In the above-noted case, the defendant apparently had no previous convictions, and had elements of personal mitigation anyway. He should have fought the matter to the bitter end, as I would do, and indeed have done (see below).
I think that, in matters such as animal welfare, there is still a place for private or privately-brought but quasi-public prosecutions brought by organizations such as the RSPCA. However, in other matters, particularly “political” cases such as noted above, organizations such as the “CAA” should be prohibited from abusing the law to achieve maliciously-intended and socio-political ends, as so often happens. After all, the “CAA” is a Jew-Zionist organization closely tied to Israel and the Israeli Embassy in the UK. Though small, it is very well-funded. From where do such funds originate?
Incidentally, my own free speech trial, in November 2023 (sentencing hearing was in March 2024), was a public prosecution brought by the “Clown” Prosecution Service, but was only initiated after the CPS and the Hampshire Constabulary had been subjected to intense and directly political pressure by the “CAA” pack and their collaborators. Read my account(s) above.

Starmer supports rebellion against dictators, he says. In Syria, and elsewhere. Well, he himself is a kind of petty dictator, “elected” by only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, in the old proverb…
When Tel Aviv Keith refers to giving thanks “on behalf of the whole country“, he must mean Israel, which (via the UK Israel-lobby) controls him.
This man Starmer is so detested by most of the public, I would be very worried if I were him. How can he look any body in the face without feeling this innate sense of dislike for this pathetic liar. @GBNEWS@elonmuskpic.twitter.com/QAymiGy7Fd
MI6/SIS is an almost-pointless institution anyway. It lives off a reputation from the Second World War and Cold War which is and always was largely undeserved; unmerited.
Goodwin is right, though, about the “politicization” (I would say “socio-politicization”) of so many UK institutions. The police are heavily contaminated, as is the CPS.
Pity that Goodwin ignores the poisonous nature of the Jew-Zionist pressure on such institutions, though, and the directly consequent destruction of free speech…That Jewish/Zionist/Israel-lobby influence is the major repressive factor in the contemporary UK.
Shadow cabinet members already criticising her. She’s had no honeymoon period and no authority (Jenrick allowed to do is own thing). You’re right and she’ll be out after the locals as the Tories will panic and do the only thing they’re good at: regicide
I disagree with Lucas’s analysis which says that the fall of the Syrian government weakens Russia. It weakens Russia in the Middle East, yes— but in the big scheme of things, that makes no difference.
Back to basics. When Stalin was Soviet leader, the Soviet Union had a very small navy, and one which was mainly confined to seas around the Soviet coastline. For Stalin, the geopolitical reality was that the Soviet Union’s power rested on its huge land-based armed forces, and on its huge geographical size, as well as a large population.
With the coming of the atomic age, Stalin’s scientists and spies ensured that the Soviet Union acquired the weapons at first possessed by only the USA and then the UK. At that time, all Soviet atomic and nuclear weapons were land-based, i.e. launched from aircraft themselves based in the Soviet Union and, in a few cases, satellite states.
Khrushchev, in his memoirs, disparages the senior naval officers pushing for a global Soviet naval presence. After Khrushchev’s fall from power, his successors did the opposite, creating a massive navy, which included ships and submarines capable of launching missiles including, eventually, nuclear ones.
That post-1960s global-profile strategy included supporting various factions in Africa, Asia, Latin America; that included the Middle East. Superpower rivalry.
A clear cost-benefit analysis, however, shows that, in the present, post-Soviet era, Russia actually does not need bases in Syria or elsewhere. Its strength lies, as before, in its geographic size, its still-large population and, crucially, its strategic rocket forces. All of those still exist. Moreover, the Russian strategic rocket forces are, it seems, at least as powerful, and as awesome, as those of NATO (i.e. USA); perhaps more so.
If Russia is forced by events to take a smaller part in the events of the Middle East, then all to the good. It can concentrate its forces and attention on the key areas of Russia itself, Ukraine and other areas of the “near-abroad”, and on advancing its most important forces, the strategic rocket and other nuclear forces.
The main thing now is to defeat the Kiev regime, and to install in Ukraine, at least in Eastern Ukraine, along the Black Sea coast, and in Kiev, either direct Russian rule or a pro-Russia Ukrainian government. It may be thought expedient, and historically consonant, to allow an independent Ukrainian government in Western Ukraine, and based on Lvov.
In respect of Central and Western Europe, Russia merely needs to obtain a modus vivendi with those states by encouraging the election or other installation of governments not hostile to Russia. Such governments need not be “pro-Russian”, or under the control of Russia; they need only be independent of the USA and, of course, free from the Jew-Zionist influence now so pervasive throughout the West.
Putin and his supporters and/or successors should be focussing on their nuclear arsenal, together with active measures aimed at helping political parties and individuals in Western and Central Europe that want a civilized rapprochement with the Russian state and people.
Starmer appoints another Israel Lobby implant into his cabinet. Margaret Hodge appointed as Corruption Czar. What a joke appointing someone who had to apologise publicly in the high court for failing for years to stop child abuse on her watch, incl Saville https://t.co/9i5Lc4p46V

Naturally, I expected the Labour Friends of Israel government led by “Tel Aviv Keith” to be hopeless and rubbish, but not so obviously so and so quickly.
Talking point
“Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer, former bureaucrat-lawyer; Rachel Reeves, fake “economist” and one-time bank office bod; David Lammy, thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity hire”; Yvette Cooper, expenses cheat fraudster and “refugees welcome” hypocrite. The rest as well…
Do you really expect that lot to be anything other than rubbish?
Now it seems that Rachel Reeves, who could not even control her own personal (and interest-free) House of Commons credit card, is apparently going to “scrutinize every penny” of public spending. i.e. do spending cuts.
Ecce “democracy”— 14 years of misguided “austerity”, so the “Conservatives” are eventually voted out, and in are voted (at least by 4 out of every 20 eligible voters) fake “Labour”. First thing they do (apart from arrest protesters and online commentators)? Impose more spending cuts…
Oh well, “worse is better“, as Lenin said. Maybe there will be a “straw breaks camel’s back” moment. Starmer, Reeves etc will then, I hope, get what’s coming to them.
Well, political parties need funding. That Nick Candy person certainly has money, and knows others with money. Still, his interest in UK politics has been anything but narrow, to date:
“...The Times in March 2021…named Nick as the leader of fundraising for Shaun Bailey’s London mayoral campaign.[78] In June 2020, The Guardian also reported that Candy had donated £100,000 to the Conservative Party in March 2020.[79] In February 2024, Nick was reported by the The Independent to have expressed support for Keir Starmer‘s Labour Party.[80]“
Controlled opposition, of course. Both main System parties are fading (finally) in public estimation, so to prevent something social-national emerging, up pops Reform UK— pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, anti-Welfare State, not (very) “racist” etc…
Still, the Overton Window is moving.
You can send £11 million to Syria or give winter fuel allowances to 36,000 British pensioners. I know which one I’d choose.
Same goes for “Ukraine” (the brutal and shambolic Kiev regime).

Jew-Zionist barrister (a “KC”, no less) who, apparently, has never heard of diplomatic immunity. Unless it is some kind of joke the humour of which escapes me.
“My case grinds on. Here’s a thing though: this is Mark Lewis, he’s a solicitor at Patron Law.
One of the most important rules about the conduct of solicitors is that they must not mislead or attempt to mislead the court. I now have clear evidence that suggests Lewis attempted to mislead the court. It is a serious allegation. The sort of allegation that, if true, should end Lewis’ career. The big question is: how are Lewis and his firm going to respond? @MLewisLawyer@Patron_Law.”
[James Wilson].
Actually Wilson is wrong in one respect. That is not “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, as his Twitter account used to be called; that is Lewis as he was about 12 years ago. He is now physically and mentally in a very poor condition, can scarcely walk, and his faculties are not what they may have been a decade or more ago.
Lewis and his fellow Zionist Jews in at least two pro-Israel organizations have been making false and malicious accusations against me for a decade now. I have responded with the truth, on Twitter (until “they” had me expelled in 2018), and on the blog (since late 2016).
The above video clip shows Lewis and his wife, Mandy Blumenthal, after their attempted political stunt (and scam) at the Edinburgh Fringe, in August 2024, failed risibly.
As for the latest information said to be in the hands of James Wilson ending Lewis’s career, that career is already effectively at an end. Many would say that (such as it was) it ended a long time ago.
When Lewis was fined and censured by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018, his own Counsel asked the panel to be lenient in terms of fining him because his sole assets were his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter! Even his car, at the time (before his domicile changed from the UK to Israel), was provided to him free of charge by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), under its Motability scheme.
Actually, Lewis’s Counsel may have (I presume, inadvertently) misled that Tribunal, inasmuch as Lewis had, or so he once claimed, a flat in Eilat, Israel.
Lewis and the pack of Zionist Jews connected with him (eg those in the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”) have never sued me for anything I have written about them. They have preferred to make malicious and false complaints about me to the police etc.
Having said that, it is true that my present impecuniosity would make me a pretty poor target for any civil suit; I have even fewer assets than Lewis, if you include his flat in Israel which he seems to have concealed from the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.
Even if they were to sue me and even if they were to succeed at trial (and they have not done so at any time in the past 12 years), their victory would be very very expensive for them. Hundreds of thousands of pounds expensive.
“My allegation is not that Lewis’ clients are vexatious, but that the evidence I have suggests he cannot be trusted not to attempt to mislead the court. If I am right, what does this mean for all the other cases in which Lewis has acted? What if there have been other attempts to mislead the court?“
Lewis has misled the Court and his own clients several, perhaps numerous, times, but so far has got away with it, at least to the extent of not having been struck off the solicitors’ roll. Part of his immunity from punishment has been the protective shield around him, consisting of other Jews, in the Press and other msm, not reporting negative things about Lewis, and indeed puffing him to a ridiculous extent, especially years ago.

The tactics of a police state, which is exactly what the dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky is.
Needless to say (again), few if any in Ukraine “volunteer” to be killed on the Kiev regime’s crumbling front lines. Few even comply with the draft. They have to be abducted, and intimidated by threats of prison or death.
As I blogged previously, in relation to both the USA election and Labour’s present situation in the UK.
The difference lies in the fact that the people of the UK had 14 years of inept “Conservative” misgovernment 2010-2024, and the voters wanted the Cons out, at almost any price.
Having said that, and as previously noted several times on the blog, out of every 20 eligible voters in the UK at GE 2024, and in rough figures, about 8 were so disenchanted with the whole political process, with society, and with the political choices available, that they voted with their feet (did not vote at all).
For me, the most significant figures would be the 8 out of 20 who did not vote, and the 2 that voted Reform UK.
Obviously, Labour, Starmer-Labour, has little real popular mandate, particularly in view of the fact that Labour’s “4 out of 20” or “4 out of 12” would have included those who, faced with a Lab-Con fight in many constituencies, voted Lab to do down the Cons; the same, in reverse, may also be true, though to a lesser extent; those who voted Con to prevent Lab from winning. Negative voting.
There is at present, or as yet, no sign of a real social-national party emerging in the UK.
I think that Matt Goodwin may be right, i.e. that Reform UK will emerge as the real opposition to Labour in the public mind.
Reform UK now has 5 MPs, though all are rather underwhelming. Reform should of course (were the electoral system not both illogical and unfair) have had about 93 MPs, not the mere 5 awarded to them under FPTP.
It is ridiculous that a party, Reform UK, can get 14.29% of the popular vote and end up with 5 MPs, and that another party, the LibDems, can be voted for by only 12.22%, yet end up with 72 MPs! That does offend the still quite strong sense of fairness and fair play in this country.
Come to that, Labour itself captured only 33.7% of the popular vote, not greatly more than double the vote of Reform UK, yet now has 411 MPs.
A pure proportional-voting system would have given Labour 219 MPs, the Conservative Party 154, Reform UK 93, LibDems 79, and Green Party 42.
In other words, under pure proportional voting, on GE 2024 vote figures, the UK would still be under a Labour Party government, but it would be a minority one.
In practice, 320 MPs give a UK government a Commons majority. Under the proportional-voting scenario, and in order to get over the line, Labour would have been required to compact with either the Conservative Party, or with Reform UK, or with both the LibDems and Greens. I suppose that that last choice would have been the most likely— Labour with LibDem and Green support.
Having said that, were there a fairer and more proportional voting system in the UK, voters would be able to cast their votes knowing that, unless they were to vote Monster Raving Loony Party or the like, their votes would almost certainly result in at least one MP of their preference getting elected. On GE 2024 figures, even George Galloway’s party, Workers’ Party, would have had 4 or 5 MPs in the Commons (0.73% of the popular vote, 210,194 actual votes).
There is little doubt in my mind that, were the UK voting system fairer, most UK voters would not be voting for the System or “legacy” parties. Not only would Reform UK surge forward, but a real social national party might be able to capture both the imagination and the votes of the British people. That, of course, is why System politicians want to retain the present voting set-up.

That is about Simon Myerson, Leeds-based barrister and one of the “CAA” and “UKLFI” Jew-Zionist crowd, who was sacked as a Recorder (p/t judge) several months ago as a consequence of his extremely unpleasant and persistent social media trolling.
According to Myerson, the terrible slaughter visited upon the people of Gaza is, “legally”, not “genocide”, presumably because not all Gazans have been killed or wounded (“only” 150,000+, i.e. about a tenth of the population), and because the Israelis at least claim not to intend eliminating all Gazans or other Palestinian Arabs from Israel/Palestine.
Well, could not a similar claim, mutatis mutandis, be made by Germany about the Europe-resident Jews of the early 1940s?
Not my area of law (when I had “areas of law”). In any case, my own view of the Gaza slaughter is not based on some “dancing on a pin” legal sophistry. I say, just look at what the Israelis have been doing, and what they continue to do. Whether it is called “genocide” or not is irrelevant, really.
I have noticed that some of the non-Jews (who are pro-Jew-Zionist or, maybe better said, pro-Israel), and some of those who are part-Jew (what the Reich termed Mischlingen) but Zionist, are actually more fanatical than many of those who are fully-Jewish. Strange. That phenomenon has been covered on the blog, on this very popular page: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/.
