Saturday quiz

Well, this week a fairly poor 4/10, (or 4.5/10 if using the scoring of of political journalist John Rentoul, who awarded himself “2.5/10”). Like John Rentoul, I knew or guessed (the obvious) half of question 6, also knew both questions 4 and 8 and, in my case, also knew the answers to questions 2 and 5.

Typical. The vast monies effectively gifted to the Arabs (all the Arab oil states, not just the Saudis) by the West (whose people discovered the oil —and gas— and drilled for it, refined it, provided the markets for it, and shipped it) have been mainly wasted.

Look at Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait etc. Bearing in mind the money poured in, pitiful: poorly-designed and laid out, and with political and legal structures which are largely still in the 8th Century; and that is before you even look at their backward religious tendencies.

[“According to Polish Prime Minister Tusk, Ukraine’s losses have recently amounted to approximately 27,000 casualties (killed and wounded) per month.
He stated that these losses are record-breaking due to new Russian technologies.
He noted that if this trend continues, the winter will be “catastrophic” for Ukraine.

A thought out of season

I have been trying to avoid the seemingly endless recent msm coverage of whether the present King did or did not make a dismissive comment to Princess Diana’s brother, the present Earl Spencer, about the Prince’s then recently ex-wife in 1997.

The same goes for the similar blanket coverage of the return of the prodigal waste of space (the Harry formerly known as Prince) and Meghan Mulatta.

It occurs to me how typical all that hullabaloo is of Britain today, a country that is always looking back, not forward.

I myself have no interest at all in whether the then Prince Charles did or did not make the comment complained of. Likewise, I have no interest in whether or not “Harry”, Meghan Mulatta, and their offspring relocate to Sussex or anywhere else.

At the other end of the social scale, we have seen, again quite recently, the football stadium incident, Hillsborough, still making political news 37 years after it happened!

Britain once looked forward, but now mainly looks back, and mainly looks at very minor events or incidents (in the big scheme of things), or looks back with rose-tinted or blurred glasses.

The reason is obvious— Britain, unless it changes radically very very soon, has no future, at least not one any white Northern European wishes to live in.

[“Pentagon Warning to Allies: Shortage of Interceptor Missiles to Last Up to 5 Years Bloomberg:

The United States has informed its allies that the supply of interceptor missiles will be delayed for 5 years, as Washington replenishes depleted weapons stockpiles after their extensive use in the war against Iran.

Germany and Eastern European countries are facing delays in receiving weapons, while Ukraine’s requests for Patriot systems are being affected by U.S. efforts to replenish its own stockpiles.”]

Britain should leave NATO, and cultivate closer relations with Russia. This is not 1939. Britain would be irredeemably devastated, irradiated, poisoned, and finished off should even one or two of Russia’s 7,000 nuclear weapons hit our little islands.

If I wuz a rich man…”…

I blogged about loonie New Zealand woman “Rachel from Piddington” yesterday. A white woman with black “partner” and mixed-race children who thinks that any danger to herself and the 350 other villagers of Piddington (Oxfordshire) emanates from English protesters (mostly her fellow-villagers) and not from the (up to) 3,500 black and brown migrant invaders from the most backward parts of the world, invaders who are soon going to be dumped very near that village.

(BBC and officialdom claims “only” 1,250 invaders will be dumped there, but that is probably a lie; 3,500 has also been mentioned).

This is what we mean by “migration invasion”.

[“The thing you have to remember about Third Worldism is that it is not confined to a particular race, religion or class. My critique, which is now totally mainstream and has spread like wildfire, is all-encompassing.

There are plenty of White Third Worlders from white-majority countries like Romania and Albania. There are White Third Worlders who are native Brits, like the idiot NGO blobocrats in Piddington, or Gypsy and Traveller groups who indulge in crime and clan-based violence. There are also non-White people from the Indian subcontinent who are fleeing their countries to escape Third Worldism. I respect these people and have no beef with them.

The Third Worldist critique will obviously involve visa bans from Third World countries, but it will also involve a recognition that this tendency is not confined to a particular race or religion. The key is very draconian laws to prevent such people from entering our society.

What about White Third Worlders? Well, punish them. I have zero solidarity with these people despite them sharing an ethnic heritage with me.”]

As the tweeter implies, Gypsies from mainland Europe (eg Roma from Romania) are not themselves white or European, being originally of Indian origin. Real Romanians despise them, and even the socialist government there from the late 1940s to 1989 found it impossible to get them to live decently.

Incidentally, I still see newspapers in the UK referring to the many Roma Gypsies committing every type of crime in the UK as “Romanian“, just because they have Romanian passports, which is a terrible slur on the real Romanians.

Britain 2026

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16144141/Illegal-migrant-Deliveroo-rider-raped-woman-dragged-street.html

An illegal migrant Deliveroo rider who dragged a woman off the street ‘like a ragdoll’ before raping her has been jailed for 21 years.

Following the vicious assault, which left his victim feeling ‘destroyed’, Salem Rekoub, 28, was caught on CCTV wearing his turquoise uniform and smirking as he followed her ambulance to hospital, because he wanted to ‘get to the woman again’.

Rekoub, who was dubbed a public danger by the judge, arrived in Britain on a tourist visa in 2023. He did not have the right to work in the UK.”

The bastard should be put up against a wall. In public. Wall. Squad. End.

As with so many cases of the sort, the victim was intoxicated in public, incapable by reason of drink.

Perhaps “Rachel from Piddington” would like to read that report. That is just one migrant-invader bastard. 3,500 others may soon be living alongside her village. If she is OK with that, she really is loonie, even by the standards of so many New Zealand women.

Incidentally, the vlog post below was just sent to me by a blog reader. It echoes, in part, what I wrote on the blog a day or so ago:

The “looming threat” of war comes entirely from the “Western” (NWO/ZOG) side. Russia is reacting to “Western” aggression, in particular the arming and funding of the corrupt Zelensky Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug dictatorship in Kiev. In the well-worn phrase, “don’t poke the Bear“…

Goodwin is right to say “who will fight for Britain?“, meaning for the present decadent set-up in the UK. Obviously not the blacks and browns. Obviously not the Muslim element. Obviously not the Jewish element. That leaves real British men (women are still rarely on or near the front-line, if that term still means anything in an age of hypersonic nuclear missiles).

Why should British men fight for what Britain is becoming, a society that demonizes them for being white European (and even male)?

There is also the point that many of the younger Brits have been brainwashed at state schools and even fee-paying schools with what amounts to anti-British propaganda, “Black Lives Matter” rubbish etc. They have been told that there is little to be proud of in British history, except the war against the German Reich (ironically, one of the most negative aspects of our national history).

[“Approximately 500,000 Ukrainian citizens in Germany receive benefits, while only a quarter of those who have arrived are employed – Bild

“The employment rate is only 27.1% – significantly lower than in other European countries.”

Alice Weidel, leader of the “Alternative for Germany” party, stated that Germany can no longer afford to support Ukrainian refugees.”]

Almost all the Ukrainians I ever met were total wastes of space.

The point is not only that more and more are making successful claims (because the legal architecture around asylum is completely out of date, and has been for decades) but also that even the unsuccessful claimants almost all remain here, and are not removed.

[“I see that the NSPCC is in the news today for all the wrong reasons.

I was a volunteer counsellor within the organisation for over 5 years. After whistleblowing my concerns regarding the safeguarding of children, I was told to leave. Here are some of the things I witnessed:

-Message boards in which children advise each other about sourcing cross-sex hormones and genital surgery

-Advising vulnerable girls on wearing breast binders

-Defending men who want to ‘chest feed’ babies

-Telling children that, if they are left infertile after transitioning, they can always get a surrogate to carry a baby for them

-A CEO who has said that ‘transwomen’ should be “celebrated”

-A webpage which reads as a roadmap to transitioning

-Trans flags flying in its counselling rooms

-Collaboration with Mermaids

-Enlisting children to make pride flags for marches

-Selling ideological reading material through its online shop

-A Head of Childline, Shaun Friel, who said that it is a “privilege” to work with children “coming out” regarding their “gender identity”

If our children are not safe contacting the NSPCC, where are they safe?“]

In fact, there have been serious doubts about the NSPCC and similar and associated bodies for decades. The behaviour of many staff has been appalling, as in the “Orkney witchhunt” case, in which families were torn apart in a situation akin to the Salem witch trials of 330 years ago: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trials; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkney_child_abuse_scandal; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_satanic_ritual_abuse_allegations#Rochdale

As a matter of fact, I should say that one of the most prominent facts about Britain in 2026 is the widely-held belief that “wishing makes it so.

I am not only referring to the epidemic of fake “trans” persons etc. You see the syndrome all over the place. For example, the belief that ever-more impressive exam results in schools and colleges mean that students are ever-more educated and/or intelligent.

The same is true of the ever-greater numbers of “graduates”, the same being found everywhere now in low-level retail jobs, call centre jobs, all sorts of poorly-paid, low-skill jobs.

Another example: the belief that Britain is a nation (leave that aside for now) which can face down or successfully fight Russia. That belief requires its believers (retired senior military desk-officers, quite a number of MPs, thousands if not hundreds of thousands of middleaged/elderly Daily Express and Daily Mail readers etc) to believe that a country (the UK) with a very small —and frankly now not very impressive— army/navy/air force, and about 50 at-any-time-usable nuclear missiles can “defeat” (if “defeat” has any meaning in the nuclear age), or at least hold, a country (Russia) 72x the size, with twice the population, with massive armed forces and, most importantly, as many as 7,000 nuclear weapons, some of which cannot be intercepted or stopped.

Another example: that Britain can continue to allow the importation of millions of racially and culturally backward individuals while maintaining the level of, or even improving the level of, society here (cultural norms, services, pay, State benefits, environment etc). It is more than mistaken; it is actually mad, yet millions of people [want to] believe it.

For me, at least some of the pervasive untruth around had its genesis in the “holocaust” farrago spread out since 1945 and particularly the past 40 years. In particular, the “gas chambers” fable.

Untruth has pervaded our society and so poisoned it, and its politics.

Angela Rayner is herself a personification of sleaze (also ignorance).

Farage himself is not particularly popular, not particularly liked or respected. However, as frequently noted on the blog, Farage’s and Reform’s best point is not anything Reform or Farage may do, or may have done, but the state of the traditional System parties. They also are not much liked or respected. People are voting against them, not for Reform or, even less, for Farage himself.

Look at the opinion polls: Reform and Labour both in the low/mid 20s, around 25%. The Conservative Party a few points below that level.

Long before the Russian “invasion” of 2022, Ukraine was known as the most corrupt country in Europe. Even in the 1990s.

After the fall of the Kiev regime, Zelensky must be brought to Russia for trial. If that should prove impossible, he should be eliminated in the field.

Our animal friends.

I examined Macron’s very peculiar background on the blog 7 years ago, in 2019: see

[“Lavrov: Ukraine no longer exists – it has abandoned all the principles for which we recognized it as a state.

“THE KYIV REGIME HAS ERASED THE LEGAL FOUNDATIONS ON WHICH MOSCOW RECOGNIZED UKRAINE.”

Sergey LAVROV: “Russia will not pause its special operation during the peace process in Ukraine. If Vladimir Zelensky wants a meeting, let him come to Moscow. That is already a significant gesture of goodwill on our part. Because he has not yet canceled his decree banning negotiations.”

Russia recognized Ukraine at the time of the collapse of the USSR based on its Declaration of Independence from 1990. In that document, the Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian parliament) pledged that the country would be non-nuclear, neutral, and non-aligned. The Kyiv regime is currently ignoring all three of these fundamental commitments, effectively nullifying the old agreements between the countries.“]

Ukraine has never really been a state. In its past 35 years of nominal statehood, it has always been a fake state and/or failed state. Now, it exists purely by reason of Western resupply of arms, ammunition, and money. Take those away, and it falls within a month, possibly within a week.

Israeli Jew war criminal. It would be wonderful if a missile landed on him and his evil tribe.

Britain should be cultivating better relations with Russia and, as one result, getting cheap gas and maybe also oil from Russia, as well as a huge market for British goods and services.

Interesting and possibly significant.

Reform’s biggest and best point has nothing to do with Reform itself but with the hatred and contempt felt nationwide against LibLabCon.

To me, that shows mainly that “Who-He?” Burnham has no very interesting ideas or policies, is seen as boring (even if less offensive than Starmer-stein) and is also seen as merely a “continuity Labour-label” and (in real political terms) unmandated Prime Minister, a Prime Minister in name only.

As to Owen Jones, the now-affluent “licensed Bolshevik” pseudo-revolutionary, I assessed him on the blog many years ago: see

Fairly interesting vlog post about North Korea (mainly Pyongyang)

A near-autarky in a fairly small country (smaller than England, one-and-a-half times the size of Scotland) is hard to implement successfully. Then of course there is the lack of personal freedom aspect.

I was struck by the depth of the Pyongyang metro system, at over 300 ft deep about 3 or 4 times, or more, the depth of most of the London Underground (the deepest London station is Hampstead, just under 200 ft deep).

Presumably, the Pyongyang metro is also meant to be a mass bomb shelter.

…and one about Japan

A different perspective than the usual.

Not something I myself support as such but, on the other hand, such a result would weaken the grip of “the usual suspects” (((them))), and also make Britain’s membership of NATO untenable. Swings and roundabouts.

Those smaller units (Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) are not really economically viable as states (once what amounts to English subsidy is withdrawn), but could nonetheless become states politically; their populations would, however, have to accept radically lower living standards forever as a result.

England would become far better off economically, especially once the population becomes fully or almost-fully European.

It is absurd to the point of ludicrousness that that uncultured, uneducated, really rather dim “chavscum” woman, with her “vapes”, tattoos etc, should be a member of a British Cabinet. I myself find it almost unbelievable, even taking into account how decadent and washed-up this country now is.

Critcizes Farage and Reform etc, yet her own party, fake “Labour”, has taken money from every kind of sleazy moneybags, not to mention having been tied up, via Mandelson, with Epstein and other criminal Jews.

Angela Rayner herself was, not very long ago, shovelling into her handbag bribe-monies for clothes, trips here and there, even entry to louche vulgar nightclubs in Ibiza.

Another idiot, someone who wants to lead (from the rear?) as the tiny army, navy, and air force of the UK take on the might —and it is still might— of Russia (and China?), Russia alone having anything up to 7,000 nuclear weapons, including some that cannot be intercepted, and which could reduce London and indeed South Shropshire (his own constituency) to a charred irradiated ruin within something like half an hour.

Anderson at least has military experience (for 9 years aged 16-25, i.e. 1992- 2001), but only at private-soldier level (apparently, he also has a diploma, more recently earned, in Defence Studies, from some institute or other).

I notice that he is a (former) alcoholic, has struggled with mental health in the past, and is a member of some cranky evangelical sect, more or less a cult: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Church.

Also noticed, that Anderson has been both a failed businessman and a bit of an expenses blodger: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Anderson_(politician).

Anderson will probably not be an MP after the next general election. Last time, in 2024, his vote-share was 34.1%, the LibDem received 31%, and the Reform candidate 17.8%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Shropshire_(constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Not entirely seriously, perhaps he should form his own volunteer regiment, with himself as colonel of that regiment, Kemi Badenoch as honorary colonel-in-chief, and a rank-and-file consisting of South Shropshire pensioners (Conservative Party voters). The cap badge could be a (charred and irradiated) golly on a stick.

Excellent. Excellent.

If both USA and EU stop funding that terrible war —and the rest of the EU would have to follow suit if Germany pulls back— then the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev will collapse for sure, and rather rapidly.

Shove Ursula von der Leyen onto her broomstick and kick her into orbit (or obit).

Devil’s alternative: if Burnham goes to the people this year, Labour will lose, probably, 100-150 MPs, maybe more, but if he waits until 2029, barring some very unlikely uptick, Labour might lose 200, or even more.

[“Look at Dan Hodges and former columnist David Aaronovitch. They want you to think that even discussing demographic change in Britain’s schools is “racist”. They are completely out of touch. Imagine going to Japan and saying the native Japanese will soon be a minority but if you talk about it you’re racist. We are allowed to discuss what is happening in our own country, in our home. And I for one will never stop speaking up for the silent majority. That might be why so many people read our newsletter. Because they want the truth. They can see much of the commentariat is a joke.”]

For me, it is, as already said, ludicrous that some uneducated, uncultured, dishonest, freeloading “chavscum” woman should even be an MP, let alone in Cabinet. Still, that’s where we are now, ruled over by absolute trash.

The woman is basically a brainless bimbo.

Similar in uselessness. A Nigerian woman who is only here because her parents deliberately had her born here so that, under the law as it was in 1981, she would later have the “right” to have a British passport.

Both Lab and Con are treacherous and pointless, as well as both being puppets of (((the usual suspects))).

Well, this week I scored 7/10, thus trumping political journalist John Rentoul, who claims 3.5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 4 (could not bring it to mind), 5, and 10. I admit that my correct answer to question 7 was an educated guess.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/sep/11/naza-directors-film-israeli-intelligence-rachel-szor-yuval-abraham-

“‘They know the house they are bombing is full of children’: NAZA’s directors on their devastating film about Israeli intelligence

The film uncovers a system that is fiendishly efficient. Its series of disconnects appears designed to distance the perpetrators from the crime. Many of these men work remotely from Tel Aviv. AI selects the target and a drone drops the bomb. Even the language feels purposely euphemistic and obfuscatory. NAZA translates as collateral damage, which in turn translates to human beings.”

“Sure, it’s easier to kill people when you’re doing it on a screen,” Abraham says. “There is some truth in that, I guess. But equally it should be said that intelligence officers know the most. They listen to the cellphones. They know the house they are bombing is full of children. They can hear babies crying. They still order another strike.”

Rooftops at night are a good location, says Szor. They lend themselves to contemplation and help people speak more freely. One soldier recalls the “insane fun” of planning airstrikes. Another remembers visiting Holocaust sites as a boy and wondering how the German people could have acted as they did. “I still see the Nazis as evil,” he says. “But what does that mean I am?

[Guardian]

In reality, “the Nazis“, i.e. National Socialists, or just Germans 1933-1945 (simpletons on the msm often refer to WW2 German troops as “the Nazis“, of course), were, most of them, far from evil. Jews in particular, Israeli or otherwise, tend to have been indoctrinated since early childhood to think so, however.

What —again— struck me, reading the interview, was the realization that Tel Aviv, where the Jews (mainly Jews, also some others, non-Jew tourists etc) sit eating falafel or Danish pastries, drinking coffee outside cafes etc, and most of the time undisturbed by war or war crimes, is a mere 44 miles from the border with Gaza, where Jewish snipers deliberately kill or maim Gazan children, where the population is almost constantly bombed and shot at, and starved, and deprived of medical attention and shelter. Little more than the distance from London to Southend (42 miles), and 8 miles more than the distance from London to Reading (36 miles).

First, Sachsen-Anhalt; then the rest of Germany. After that, the rest of Europe, including the UK.

Well, who would have thought that such an event might occur…

I disagree with Hodges. While I am not a “supporter” of Reform UK (how could I be, when Reform is pro finance-capitalism, pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, and will not even try to create an ethnostate in the UK?), the £36M donation says to me “Reform is now politically powerful despite its flaws, and has a serious war chest.

I think that the electorate, or at least a quarter or so of it, maybe even a third, will think that the huge donation strengthens Reform, and makes Reform appear more credible.

The problem with attacking Farage and Reform over “sleaze” is that Lab and Con are riddled with sleaze themselves, and all but the most blind voters are aware of that fact.

[“All 3 cllrs in their local district council ward are Lib Dem, as is the local MP. In fact Piddington is currently represented by Lib Dems at all the main levels above the (non- party political) parish council.
The local Lib Dem cllrs voted for their area to become a ‘Council of Sanctuary’ (their motion also called for repeal of the Illegal Migration Act & Nationality and Borders Act, and stated that asylum seekers should be housed “as our neighbours.”
What did local voters expect would happen?

He has a point.

The LibDems are a joke party.

In the end, only real social nationalism can save this country.

“Who-He?” Burnham has a choice: hold an election soon, and lose 100-150 Labour MPs, or drag on for 2 or 3 years without confirming, via an election, his mandate to be Prime Minister, and then be forced to call an election which may result in the loss of 150-200 Labour MPs.

Afternoon thought

Having seen what has been happening in Dover and elsewhere, and noted the lame response both of the old System parties and the new quasi-System parties (Reform UK and Restore Britain), it strikes me that all of those parties are vainly struggling to catch up with what has been happening on the ground.

The pace is being set, not by Farage, Lowe, Jenrick etc, and certainly not by Andy “Who-He?” and multikulti Labour (nor by the ridiculous Nigerian woman and her pseudo-Conservative idiots).

The pace is being set by what might be called the militia (albeit an unarmed militia).

A very good birthday present for me (I turned 70 last week).

So much for “we shall fight them on the beaches“… This invasion is far worse than any National Socialist German one would have been, 86 years ago, had it ever happened (it was in fact never more than a contingency plan), and imports backward hordes from the worst parts of the world.

Things are getting to the stage where more and more people are waking up to the slide of this country into a dystopian multikulti hell. Those awakening are becoming aware that merely voting a quasi-System Farage or even Lowe into “power” (political prominence, Westminster Bubble nonsense, but not real power) will not save them, because the System is a rigged system.

Voters of the party echoed her sentiments:

“Germany is ruled by idiots. Complete idiots who are incapable of clear thinking and can only promote war,” said a man who came to support the AfD, stating that, in his opinion, the German authorities launched drones at the airport in Leipzig to blame Russia.

“Ukraine”, as presently set up, is not really a state at all, though it has managed to pose as one for 35 years.

Meanwhile, the clique of the Jew Zelensky continues to steal billions of dollars.

[“The co-chairman of the “Alternative for Germany” party, Tino Chrupalla, has criticized the volume of financial and military aid that Germany is providing to Ukraine.

He stated that over the past 4 years, Germany has provided Kyiv with more than 100 billion euros in the form of weapons and financial assistance, as well as an additional 50 billion euros through the European Union. The politician also criticized Germany’s energy and migration policies.

“We need a chancellor who finally chooses the diplomatic path towards Moscow. That’s what Germany needs – a chancellor!”

“It’s horrifying to imagine how much money has been thrown away in Ukraine. With that money, we could have done so much good for ourselves and our country. However, the government has chosen a different path. They have decided to spend all our taxes in another country, which increases the risk of war for us and our country. They are choosing the path of war, which none of us can survive. We don’t need this government!“]

I saw a tweet from some German scribbler (ex-Bild) saying that the AfD should not have been “allowed” to stand candidates in elections such as the recent Sachsen-Anhalt ones. That is System “democracy” in Germany. A facade.

Saturday quiz

Only 4/10 this week, narrowly beating the 3/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. The ones I answered correctly were numbers 3, 4, 6, and 7 (I have never seen the TV show in question 3, so my answer was a guess, maybe based on something seen subliminally in a newspaper). I really should have also scored on numbers 1 and 2, but did not recall them.

Rightful ownership?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0zxjp50j6o

A painting which was stolen by the Nazis and only recovered in Argentina last year must now be returned to the heir of its rightful owner, a court has ruled.

The late-baroque Portrait of a Lady was lost for 80 years until it was spotted in photographs of a house for sale near Buenos Aires.

The house belonged to Patricia Kadgien, the daughter of a Nazi fugitive who had fled there after the Second World War, and she has now agreed to return the painting in exchange for not being prosecuted for concealing it from the authorities.

Portrait of a Lady was among over 1,000 artworks looted from the collection of Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker after the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands in 1940.”

[BBC]

Is this rightful restitution, or wrongful enrichment of quasi-fraudsters and tricksters?

Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose this war.

It’s all very well for people to say, “it was ever thus“, that there were always loonies etc, but even if that be so, that does not explain the quantity. The same with stabbings in the UK; yes, there were always a few, but now they happen all over the country, several times daily, often many times daily, and often fatal. Most are done by the blacks, browns, and other non-Brits.

Jason Arday syndrome

A former Labour parliamentary candidate has been jailed for four years after using a fake Oxford degree to land more than a dozen senior NHS roles – before going on sick leave to avoid doing the jobs.

Amran Hussain, 40, was Labour’s candidate for North East Hampshire in the 2015 general election before embarking on an eight-year campaign of fraud that cost the taxpayer £168,000.

Using fake certificates and fictitious references, he fabricated degrees from the universities of Oxford, Harvard and Birkbeck to blag his way into 13 senior NHS roles across the country…

He secured the roles despite barely doing any work, quickly going on sick leave after each appointment and remaining absent until the contract ended or was terminated.

Hussain took an astonishing 1,332 sick days (70 per cent of his days employed) by claiming he had a litany of illnesses, including post Covid-19 syndrome, tiredness, anxiety, depression, low mood, headaches, neck pain, pelvic pain, vertigo, headaches and dizziness and migraines. 

His deception finally unravelled in 2021, when Devon Partnership NHS Trust offered him a £90,000-a-year role as deputy chief operating officer and carried out checks on his application – discovering no record of his claimed job at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust.

[Daily Mail]

Is that really any worse, though, than the activities of so many MPs whose CVs are either invented and full of lies (eg Iain Dunce Duncan Smith) or, while superficially accurate, embellished to the point where the CVs are near-fraudulent (David Lammy, Shabana Mahmood, Angela Rayner, and many many others)?

England’s broken justice system

I happened to see the following newspaper report:

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16102673/GP-manager-stole-designer-avoids-jail-overflowing-prisons.html

A GP practice manager who conned her NHS surgery out of a small fortune and blew it on designer goods has avoided jail because prisons are too full, a court heard. 

Helena Paiva, 33, admitted to plundering £517,260.29 from her NHS employers at the Albion Street Practice in Southwark, London, between January 23, 2023, and July 1, 2025.

Paiva, of Boxley, Kent, was spared jail and handed a suspended sentence after Judge Christopher Hehir said that the UK prisons are ‘full to bursting

Judge Hehir also ordered 20 days of rehabilitation activities and 160 hours of unpaid community work, which was reduced as she currently works as a delivery driver.

He told Paiva, who sobbed as sentence was passed: ‘You have come within a hair’s breadth of going down to the cells.”

[Daily Mail]

As I often reiterate (because many people assume, wrongly, that I believe in judicial harshness), I am generally not a “hanger and flogger”, but here we have an example of how things have slid into near-lawlessness.

When I was initially at the English Bar (early 1990s), it was a given that “breach of trust” cases of embezzlement, especially where the sums were substantial, would normally result in incarceration, yet here we have a case involving over half a million pounds, continuing for quite a while (2+ years), and the defrauding of a medical practice but also 8 actual doctors, and the defendant gets a “suspended”…

In fact, the sentence was little more severe than I got in 2024 for publishing the truth on this blog: see

and

The only aspect more severe is that that embezzler woman will have to pick up litter or do similar work for a few weeks, whereas I was excused any unpaid slave-labour.

My own sentence in 2024 (for telling the truth) was 15 “rehabilitation” “days” (in fact, each “day” was between 20 and 120 minutes, the average being about 30 minutes or so) with a young lady from the Probation Service, and a financial penalty of over £700 (about a third was crowdfunded).

Incidentally, the judge (H.H.J. Hehir) who sentenced the embezzler woman is the same as sentenced satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz in 2019. Over 7 years ago. How time flies! See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-47230443.

So it begins…

[“The New York Times: The U.S. Navy is facing a logistical nightmare in the region.

The attacks by Iran have effectively disrupted the U.S. Navy’s logistical network in the region.

U.S. military ships require vast amounts of food and fuel to continue operations. The fleet stationed in the region needs food to prepare over 420,000 meals each week, and approximately 8 million gallons of fuel.

The Iranian attacks have also taken out one of the U.S. Navy’s key logistical bases in Bahrain. At the same time, the threat of missiles and drones has made access to some other ports and regional bases difficult or impossible.“]

Good grief.

[“Ann Widdecombe schools a roomful of woke students on the importance of free speech.

“Only two sorts of people oppose free speech… snowflakes and totalitarians.”

“Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings.”

“It is an occupational hazard of living in society. And if you really can’t take it, become a hermit.”

“No matter how much we may disagree with somebody, we should defend to the hilt their right to say it.”

“You succeed by defeating your opponent, not by wishing him away. You get nowhere by trying not to hear what is being said.”

“You may feel virtuous today in what you will not hear, but tomorrow somebody may feel virtuous in not hearing what you have to say.”

“Free speech is for all, not for the privileged few.”

FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING“]

Unlike Ann Widdecombe, Toby Young and his Free Speech Union (etc) are fakes. They pretend to favour free speech, but support the liars and perjurers of the Jewish/Israel lobby, particularly the malicious Jews of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

In fact, the biggest enemy of free speech in the UK, by far, is the Jewish/Israel lobby (and the “CAA” in particular).

What age a person has to be to do this or that is a matter for discussion, hopefully evidence-based.

The age at which a person can drive a car varies from 14 (supervised) in some states of the USA (I think mainly in the South) and 15 (full licence) in some countries (eg El Salvador), to as high as 23 (in Niger), with the majority of countries deciding on 18. It is 17 in the UK.

The age at which someone can buy an alcoholic drink legally also varies, from no age set at all (in a few countries, mostly African), through 16, 17, or 18 (18 being standard) and on to 21, or even 25 (in one or two countries) and of course, in strictly Islamic societies, total prohibition. In the UK, the age at which someone can buy a drink alone is set at 18, but it is 16 if only wine, beer, cider, perry etc is bought, and if that is both with an adult and as part of a purchase of food.

To intrude a personal note, I recall that, as a child of perhaps 9, and at which time (about 1965) children were not even allowed into pubs, I would sit outside country inns at trestle tables, drinking (weak) lemonade-and-bitter beer shandy bought by my father…I also regularly put on bets in the UK in the early 1970s when I was aged 14+, both at point-to-points and at racecourses (usually Ascot, Windsor, and Newbury; also, occasionally, Cheltenham).

The age of consent to sex varies even more, from (dependent on various conditions) 11 (Nigeria), 12 (Angola, Philippines, Canada, Hungary), 13 (Japan, South Korea, Italy, a number of American —USA— states), 14 (Israel), to the —by far the most common— age of 18, and up to 21 in a few American — USA— states, though I imagine that that latter is honoured more in the breach than the observance (the UK has the relevant age at 16 in most cases).

As to voting in elections, most countries now put the age rubric at 18, the UK having been the first to lower the age from 18 (in 1969; first in actual use in 1970).

I think that there is a valid argument to make the voting age 28, but I doubt that many people will agree with me.

As noted previously on the blog, that Weale character (a supposed Conservative supporter), is hopelessly out of touch, and apparently would rather make millions of sick and disabled people suffer and live in poverty rather than restrict funding for his beloved armed forces (he was a regular officer in the Intelligence Corps for 7 years, until 1992, and was later deployed overseas as a Reserves officer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Weale).

If the suspension of training only applies to “non-essential” exercises, one has to wonder why money was wasted on them in the first place.

Go fight Russia on your own (or, as at present, only online…).

Britain should be cultivating better relations with Russia, leaving NATO, certainly not giving arms, ammunition and money to the thug-regime in Kiev, and so acquiring for the British people not only cheap gas and oil from Russia but also a vast market for British goods and services in Russia and the other Russophone countries.

If the Army, Navy, and Air Force were of any real use today, they would be deployed to stop the only real invasion that is happening, or is likely to happen— the migration invasion.

Bravo!

When I was living in Almaty (1996-1997), it had no metro. A Soviet project of the 1980s, it had been abandoned after the Soviet Union fell apart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almaty_Metro.

Looks quite impressive, and I see that there is a station, called Abay (named after a classical-era Kazakh poet), not too far (just about walking distance) from where I once lived on Prospekt Lenina (now called “Dostyk”, meaning “Friendship” in Kazakh); my building was near the junction with Shevchenko Street:

As for safety, well… I only once had a potentially serious problem (I was able to deal with it), but an American living across the street from me (I did not know him, though) was tortured and murdered in his apartment (the supposed killers were arrested the following day), and when an odd character gave a brief talk on “personal security” at the British Embassy to a small audience of expats, including me, he said that, while all the expats (there were only a few dozen Brits living in the city at the time) assured him how safe the city was, he himself had attended a nightclub or bar the first evening after having arrived from London and, upon exiting, had tripped over a dead body…

I could have told him that I myself always kept a low profile, as far as possible, when living in a foreign city, and always avoided all nightclubs, casinos etc, and most if not all bars unless meeting people known to me. That way, I do not have to trip over dead bodies or, indeed, become one.

I hate noisy nightclubs and bars anyway, and tend to distrust most casinos outside Europe. Also, such places attract criminal elements (and police/security snoopers).

That British Embassy character, who was supposedly a security expert with a background in British military intelligence and security, looked just like one of the German characters, “von Smallhausen”, from the TV comedy series ‘Allo ‘Allo! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Allo_%27Allo!]— short, and wearing both black leather coat and black leather hat!

[“SHOCKING: Katie’s Hopkins news this morning following court case.

This is a lesson for all those attempting to sabotage someone’s career and life.

Katie Hopkins has taken to social media with the following statement.

STATEMENT FROM KATIE HOPKINS

A ‘man’ responsible for pressurising my venues to cancel has been found GUILTY of FOUR counts of blackmail by a jury at Southampton Crown Court.

Blackmail is a serious criminal offence and carries a prison term. Sentencing is on 16 October 2026.

I remind those pressurising venues to cancel performers: this is a criminal act.

I require theatres that were cowed by one criminal, to reinstate my fully sold-out shows.

I thank the Crown Prosecution Service and Dorset Police for being splendid.

And to the jury, God speed in all you do.

STATEMENT ENDS

Having worked with Katie Hopkins I am thrilled that the Jury came to the right decision. She is a warm, kind and superb woman with exceptional talent.

This sets precedent and I encourage anyone facing similar challenges to take action.

Finally, go see her show. Best belly laugh you’ll get!

Justice!“]

Of course, most such “cancelling” or pressuring of venues etc is done by the malicious Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, in particularly the liars and perjurers of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

David Icke, Gilad Atzmon, Alison Chabloz and many others have suffered such attacks.

Even I myself, when I was in my early 20s (late 1970s) and had my own small party.

Yes, that does mean that such Jew-Zionist tactics preceded the establishment of the “CAA”. The Jew-Zionist troublemakers were “at it” even in the 1950s (against Oswald Mosley, Colin Jordan etc) and, indeed, in the 1930s (against Mosley and his BUF and others) and even in the 1920s (in the UK, but also, and more so, in Germany, against the then-small NSDAP led by Adolf Hitler).

Years ago, I described Trump as “a loudly squawking parrot in a gilded cage, and guarded by a phalanx of Jews“, and I have seen little since then that might cause me to revise that view.

The System parties, especially Labour, are pretending that the migration invasion is not a major issue, has no real downside, or at least is being “handled”. All lies.

It may be time for a “fourth Reich”…
