“Ukrainian failure will be โworse than Vietnamโ for the West, Johnson predicts.
If Russia takes control of Kyiv, it will become a disaster for โAmerican leadership on the world stageโ that is much greater than the outcome of the Vietnam War. Boris Johnson is sounding the alarm.
He also said he was “praying” that congressional Republicans would end the roughly $60 billion blockade of funding to Ukraine, adding: “The situation is grim and the delay is appalling.”
The British politician also said that the chaotic flight from Afghanistan in 2021 is โnothing compared to a possible Russian victory in Ukraine.”
There are exciting possibilities opening up, potentially affecting not only the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, but also Central and Western Europe, including the UK.

Royal Navy recruits no longer need to be swimmers A source says there is concern about the change to entry requirements, which means there will no longer be a 30-minute swim test prior to being recruited, and brands the move "a sign of true desperation to increase recruitmentโฆ pic.twitter.com/WiwmSZYCFW
Very few choose to join any of the armed forces now, because the services have no prestige, a poor career structure (certainly for “other ranks”), poor housing and, at the end, after 3, 5, 10, 22 or however many years, are just dumped into civilian life, in many cases without non-military skills, without accommodation, and without much money.
Another point is that some potential recruits are being forced to wait for months, even a year or more, before being approved by the rotten private contractor, Serco.
Back in 1975, I was told by someone in the Intelligence Corps of the British Army that some people were desperate to join immediately because they had no roof over their heads, and literally no money. The Corps would stretch a point, and allow them to come in even before the paperwork had been completed, and before any binding commitments had been made.
Such recruits would be given accommodation (at Templer Barracks, Ashford, Kent, now turned into a housing development like everything else in England), would eat in the NCO’s mess (there are no private soldiers in that Corps), and something would be found for them to do for a few days or a week while the necessary box-ticking was being done.
If accepted, they would join the next recruit squad; if not, they might go elsewhere in the Army or, at worst, leave having had a week of food and shelter; no harm done. Not now.
Apparently, the various military units at Ashford (the Intelligence Corps at Templer Barracks, and also the much larger ordinary Army base which surrounded the guarded Intelligence Corps centre) have long since been moved on, and the area, redeveloped as housing, is now known as Repton Park, though I have just seen that there is a small reserve Army military presence nearby even today.
“George Henderson had to sell his home to repay nearly ยฃ20,000, years after ticking wrong box on carerโs allowance form.
A carer who says he was โdragged through the courtsโ and had to sell his home to pay back almost ยฃ20,000 in benefit overpayments is fighting to clear his name after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) acknowledged he made an innocent mistake.
George Henderson, 64, said he made a gain of just 30p a week while claiming carerโs allowance for his son John, who has learning difficulties and is addicted to heroin. He now costs the Treasury ยฃ1,000 a month more in benefits, having become homeless and too unwell to work.”
[The Guardian]
Really absolutely disgusting. Britain in 2024.
Also, look at the sentence imposed by a Crown Court judge in respect of the matter:
“He protested his innocence but was found guilty. In 2018, a judge at Preston crown court gave him a 32-week suspended sentence and ordered him to wear an electronic tag for 16 weeks.
Henderson is one of a number of carers the Guardian has spoken to after exposing how people looking after disabled, frail or ill relatives are being forced to repay huge sums to the government and threatened with criminal prosecution after unwittingly breaching earnings rules by just a few pounds a week.”
“In the high street of Crookes, a leafy hillside suburb of Sheffield with a large student population, there were plenty of people saying they would vote Labour at the next general election โ but most werenโt too happy about it.

Most people said they would vote Labour for one simple reason โ to get the Conservatives out of power.
โIโll be voting for Labour. But Iโm more anti-Conservative than I am pro-Labour,โ said Chris Macdonald, a 30-year-old teacher. โIf our voting system was different I would be tempted by other parties, but it feels like itโs Labour or Tories, and I want them out.“

That chimes with my feeling about overall voter sentiment. Few people really like the Starmer version of the Labour Party, but almost everyone wants the Conservative Party to go down (and preferably never get up again).

Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored, he says, “4.5/10”. I managed 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 4, 6, and 7.
“A dispute over a 97-year-old woman feeding birds in her back garden has escalated with the ‘bullying’ council now threatening a ยฃ2,500 fine or even court action to force her and her son out of their privately-owned home.
Retired music teacher Anne Seago enjoys the simple pleasure of watching from her conservatory as sparrows and robins feed off seeds on her bird table.
A complaint from a neighbour that she was attracting pigeons and seagulls prompted the council to issue a ‘written warning’ last November and threaten a ยฃ100 fine if the ‘anti-social behaviour’ doesn’t cease.
Now, amid claims the birds are still being fed, Fylde Council has issued her son Alan, 77, who lives with her, with another written warning. This time he is being threatened with a Community Protection Notice (CPN) and a potential fine of ยฃ2,500 for ‘non-compliance’ if the ‘anti-social behaviour’ doesn’t stop immediately.
And in a further threat the council’s environmental health department has warned it could take legal action for a ‘Civil Injunction and/or a Premises Closure Order’, that if granted by magistrates could ultimately force them out of their house in Staining, near Blackpool, for up to three months.
The officers even instructed the Seagos to take down the ‘I love’ birds notice on their window (above) in case it upset the neighbour.“
“Poland’s Prime Minister, Donald Tusk said: ‘I don’t want to scare anyone, but war is no longer a concept from the past. It’s real and it started over two years ago. We are living in the most critical moment since the end of the Second World War‘.”
[Daily Mail]
Tusk is a brainless drone, a complete puppet of NWO/ZOG. A year ago, he was predicting that Ukraine (the Kiev regime) would “defeat Russia“, and then go on to join both NATO and the EU. How is that going?…
As for war with Russia, certain powerful groups or cabals in the West are really pushing for it; the drift to war is almost entirely being driven by those groups, not by Putin, not by Russia.
An almighty war would be disastrous for Europe and the European peoples. Maybe that is why the “usual suspects” and their puppets keep pushing for one…

First Matthew Parris wants to crack down on disability benefits. Now he addresses assisted dying saying old & frail people are a burden on society. Until social care & palliative care are available to everybody at a certain level, insensitive talk like this is really frightening. pic.twitter.com/GeqA5FuJe5
— Richard Kramer ๐บ๐ฆ (@RichardKSense) March 30, 2024
People say that it does not matter what a person’s private life, sexuality, even beliefs etc may be. Only their specific ideas matter. Easy to agree with that, superficially, but it is facile in more ways than one.
Matthew Parris is typical, in a way, of the faux-“caring sharing” “Cameroon” fake “Conservatism” of the past few decades; post-Thatcherite, espousing a neo-Spartanism for the poorer part of society, and a freedom-from-responsibility ethos for the affluent and wealthy, all disguised by the said fake “caring”.
Often, though certainly not always, publicized in newspapers, and in magazines such as the Spectator, and often by affluent metropolitan gays such as Parris himself.
That kind of “Conservatism” is the polar opposite of the paternalism which characterized at least part of the old and now long-gone Conservatism.
Mrs Thatcher may now be thought of as the standard-bearer of the new pseudo-libertarian “Conservatism”, but she herself, in office, was more a product of the old order, and vacillated between the two camps, for all her expressed adherence to Hayek etc.
The tweeter cited above is right. Parris is shown, not for the first time, as someone who basically knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. His notorious column about “left-behind” areas, such as Clacton, set the tone.
Not that I disagree with all that Parris has written, such as when his column opined thus: “In May 2021, Parris called for the removal of ethnic minority status from Gypsy, Roma and Travellers, describing them “not a race, but a doomed mindset” and called for “a gradual but relentless squeeze on anyone who tries without permission to park their home on public property or the property of others” [Wikipedia].
I agree with those words, though the Irish “travellers” are not the same actual group as the various kinds of ethnic “gypsies” in the UK and mainland Europe (etc). “Travellers” of Irish origin are not an ethnic minority; the Roma, Sinta etc are.
I also agree with his view of sinister clown “Boris” Johnson: “In June 2020 Parris wrote an excoriating article on Boris Johnson saying, “He never had any judgment or strategic vision. Mr Johnson was only ever a shallow opportunist with a minor talent to amuse” [Wikipedia].
What I find disturbing about, not only Parris but also that whole strain of post-Thatcherite “Conservatism”, discounting its pseudo-“caring” camouflage, is its un-Christian, un-spiritual “throwing under a bus” of those (the old, sick, and poor) who cannot keep pace with his preferred metro-affluent new order. It reminds me, more than anything, of Stalinism, in terms of its arrogant brutality. There is something dystopian about it all. Parris himself is an atheist.
In 1984 Matthew Parris said ยฃ26 a week in benefits was ample. He tried it, the wimp ended up crying on his bed in his Newcastle bedsit unable to cope. Why doesn't "ยฃ100,000 pa. Isn't a huge salary" HUNT try the same thing. Odious twat. pic.twitter.com/cjR8EJQQnR

If a multicultural and diverse liberal society requires an authoritarian police state to function then it isnโt worth having to begin with.
Deportions and repatriation aren't enough, there's a substantial white population that should be permanently exiled to Africa to benefit from diversity there.
Historical facts not much noted by the general public include the largely Jewish character of the second, Marxist-Leninist, “Russian” Revolution (coup d’etat) of 1917, the largely Jewish nature of the Soviet security apparat from 1917 through to the late 1940s, but also the pushback against that in the Soviet Union itself, starting in the Second World War but particularly from time of the postwar purge of 1948-49 and on to 1953-1956, after the death of Stalin.

As to the blog itself, it will continue to be published daily, or near-daily.
The malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”) cabal and Crown (“Clown”?) Prosecution Service (which the “CAA” —typically—badgered for 7+ years to prosecute me) completely failed to persuade the sentencing judge to curtail publication of, or censor the content of, the blog.
I myself, however, have decided to make the blog gradually more focussed on analysis, and less on comment, as well as making it more diplomatic, but without compromise on ideology or principle.
The “CAA” is evidently embarrassed by the ultimate result. Their endless whining and demanding may have led to me being charged and —after a year— convicted , and to my having to waste much time defending myself, but the ultimate result, apart from the ยฃ734 in financial imposts (which may be largely covered by donations), is that I have to meet once every 1-3 weeks with the Probation Service for the rest of this year; 15 meetings in all; I have already attended one (short and not at all unpleasant).
The “CAA” crowed mightily on Twitter/X when I was convicted (November 2023), but since the sentencing hearing (14 March 2024), they have not tweeted once about me. Ha.

“Taurus missiles could have a significant impact on Ukraineโs ability to defend itself, โ Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski supported Ukraine in its desire to obtain the Taurus and accused Germany of indecisiveness in supplying new weapons systems to the war zone.
“Thanks to cruise missiles from other countries, the Ukrainians have already convinced the Russians to move their logistics bases, such as ammunition depots, far behind the front line. And the German missiles will force them to move even further,” he said.“
As for those missiles, yes, they would assist the Kiev regime’s war effort, but its war is now lost anyway— insufficient soldiers, arms, and ammunition, and collapsing morale. If Germany supplies such missiles, not only Kiev might become a major target for —far more powerful— Russian missiles, but also other cities; even Berlin itself. Don’t stoke the fires of war.

Regular readers will please be aware that, despite my trial, conviction, and sentence in respect of alleged breaches of the notorious Communications Act 2003, s.127, this blog will continue to be published.
I shall blog later (probably later today) about the trial (held in November 2023) and sentencing hearing (held 14 March 2024).
The blog will continue to be published, but the style will have to change, inasmuch as my freedom to express views and to explain current and historical events has inevitably been restricted by the trial and sentence.
I am not in fact under any greater legal prohibition now than I was a year ago, but it will be readily understood that my having been convicted does apply somewhat of a chilling effect on my freedom to write what I want, or in such terms as I should prefer.
The “usual suspects”, and their dupes in the police and Crown Prosecution Service, will now be watching and “monitoring” (spying and snooping on) my blog in even greater detail than was previously the case.
They may think that they have scored a narrow victory “on points”, as the sport people say; I say merely that we shall see…
Like Sir Thomas More, I shall express my views and opinions in compliance with current law (however misguided and abused that law may be), so far as I can do so without compromising principle and honour.
Quite apart from that, I think that, in the circumstances of repression and “control” in which we (in the UK and some other countries) live, all social-national people have to look beyond the mere expression of views and the mere analysis of events to actually accomplishing the germinal basis of a different and more advanced society.
[Update, 9 June 2024:I should point out that my sentence, which was called (some days or weeks later) “absurdly lenient” by the malicious and conspiratorial Jew-Zionist group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (which admits to having pushed for 7 years for me to be prosecuted), was made by the learned (and generally quite fair) sentencing judge on the specific recommendation of the Probation Service officer who met me in mid-December 2023 and later drafted a pre-sentence report for the Court. The sentence itself (a “community order” with 15 “rehabilitation days”) exactly followed the recommendation made in that report.]

Talking point
[from the Daily Telegraph]
“A former Nato commander predicts our future โ and it looks terrifying.
Ever since Erskine Childersโs 1903 novel The Riddle of the Sands urged the British government to treat Germany, not France, as the leading threat of the new century, thrillers have often been co-opted as a means of warning policymakers about under-appreciated perils โ with the advantage that such a book may be more likely to keep the reader awake than a dispassionate report.
Three years ago, the novelist and decorated ex-Marine Elliot Ackerman collaborated with former Nato Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis on a political thriller called 2034.
The novel imagines โ or predicts; weโll see โ that in the next decade a complacent America will suddenly find its military technologies outclassed by those of its rivals, and when pulled into a conflict with China in 2034, will resort to tactical nuclear strikes, resulting in the tit-for-tat annihilation of Shanghai and San Diego.
The book ends on the brink of a new world order, with a truce called but the US and China so badly damaged that India and parts of Africa are able to vie with them for superpower status.
Now, Ackerman and Stavridis have dusted down their crystal ball for a sequel: 2054. This time, the threat facing humanity isnโt nuclear destruction, but the event that keeps futurists awake at night, โthe Singularityโ, defined here as โan โintelligence explosionโ, the equivalent of thousands of years of biological evolution crammed into months or even weeks when machine and human learning [will] integrate into a single consciousnessโ.
The Singularity may bring about such advantages as immortality, if youโre happy to have your brain uploaded into a mechanical super-body: useful in a future in which pandemics are commonplace. But itโs going to be bad news for the enemies of whichever nation or corporation wins the race to develop the tech.“
A question which has concerned me since I first read predictions of what seemed to be possible human/robot melding in then-unpublished manuscripts by Rudolf Steiner and Valentin Tomberg.
As far as I know, the relevant Steiner manuscripts, and probably also the Tomberg ones, are still unpublished. I do not know whether they might be in that online archive. Probably not. I read them well over 40 years ago, in a basement, from dusty files containing brittle old typescript.

Not that I fully favour Marine le Pen (her father was better), but this has to be a positive move. The “Overton Window” is moving, and it is moving across Europe, except in Britain, where the “usual suspects” have a stranglehold on the mainstream media, politics, the legal system etc.
That is not to say that nothing is happening in the UK, but it is happening under the surface, as in all police states; for that is what the UK is becoming. Not a full police state, as yet; very much (usually) a “velvet glove” (“iron fist in velvet glove”) one.
The direction of travel, though, is pretty clear, looking at what happened during the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic.
Most of the population complied with every last stupid, silly, pointless, made-up-on-a-whim, completely ridiculous “rule” invented by “Boris”-idiot, Little Matt Hancock and the misnamed “SAGE” committee (I always called it “DUMB”, i.e. “Department Under Matt and Boris”): “the Rule of Six”, “social distancing” of 1, 2, or 3 metres, the facemask nonsense etc.
Most people complied with being shepherded about in, or outside, supermarkets by bossy “security” dogsbodies or insolent little shop-girls. How the latter must have hated having had to give up instructing shoppers where to stand and walk, and having had to return to their usual routine of filling shelves and serving customers, rather than barking at them…
Quite a number of members of the public, either from misplaced fear, or from sheer malice, were willing to “report” (denounce, as it was always called in the Soviet Union under Stalin) their neighbours for “crimes” such as taking a ride in the car or on a motorbike, or having a few friends over for a drink at home.
The very compliant ones, and the enthusiastic collaborators, can be written off. Useless people. Our interest, at this stage, is in the non-compliant part of the population. They may still have some fight in them.

“Former head of the Czech intelligence service: Russia is crushing Ukraine, heading for victory.
Russia is systematically destroying the Armed Forces of Ukraine, thanks to its industry and logistics, and the West is unable to oppose it, said the former head of the Czech military intelligence service, General Petr Pelc, in an interview for “Radio Universe”.
“Russia is crushing Ukraine in a slow and systematic way. We all send it money, part of which disappears somewhere, part does not even reach Ukraine, and thus we only prolong the agony and increase the number of dead people,” Peltz believes. – “
Weapons and soldiers win battles, and industry and logistics win wars. That’s all. The question is what we call a military victory. In two years of this armed conflict, Russia increased the productivity of its military-industrial complex 15 times. We are not for that, of course capable ,” he stated.“
As I have always said, short of a palace revolution in Moscow followed by complete anarchy, Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.
My recent trial and sentencing hearing
Background
On 30 November 2023, I was tried under Communications Act 2003, s.127 in respect of 5 counts of having breached the said Act by having allegedly posted 5 pages of this blog.
In fact, only small parts of those 5 pages were alleged to have been “grossly offensive” (a few comments, remarks and cartoons).
To put the accusations into context, today’s blog post is number 1,799; tomorrow’s will be number 1,800. 1,800 blog posts published since November or December 2016.
Even taking the last few years, there have been blog pages posted almost every day, at least 1,000 in the past 3 years. I stood accused of having posted 5 pages, out of which pages about 2% of the content was supposedly “grossly offensive”.
I do not propose to go into the decade of persecution of me engaged in by Jewish Zionists, pro-Israel Jews. Anyone interested in the background can find it on the blog easily enough via the search box. Suffice to say that there has been a decade of false complaints and reports to police, politicians, professional regulators etc.
The organizations persecuting me (and many others, from Al Jazeera TV to David Icke, to Alison Chabloz, to various social-national political figures) have been the Campaign Against Antisemitism [“CAA”] and UK Lawyers for Israel [“UKLFI”]. The memberships or supporter-cadres tend to overlap to a degree.
I was wrongfully and (as it later transpired) unlawfully disbarred in 2016. I was later invited to re-open the matter, but declined, partly because I might have been re-instated at the Bar but fined heavily; in any case, the Bar is now a dustbin as far as I am concerned.
Various malicious and false (based on lies) complaints were made about me to the police from about 2012. All such complaints were from CAA-connected Jewish individuals. Not one was upheld, but I was subjected to two “voluntary” police interviews and a number of insolent telephone calls from police drones.
The last such lying complaint about me was made in 2021 by one Stephen Silverman, who grandly styles himself “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the “CAA”. My account of that can also be found on the blog. That complaint was thrown out by the Crown Prosecution Service [“CPS”] in early 2022, but the “CAA” persisted in trying to get the matter re-opened via the so-called “victim’s right of review”.
In a clear misuse of their powers, the CPS, having informed me that I would not be prosecuted for the (completely untrue) “racially-aggravated harassment” of Silverman (for which there was no evidence whatsoever), dropped that potential charge, but then (a year later) charged me of having posted 5 “grossly offensive” pages from this blog. Though never arrested, I was charged by post early last year, 2023.
The “CAA” are still tweeting and scribbling on their website that they have pursued me for 7 years (in reality, longer), and that my “case” was only brought to court after “Lord” Ian Austin (former Labour MP) wrote directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions to demand that I be prosecuted.
The prosecution of me was purely political.

The trial, and later sentencing hearing
The trial took place over one day in November 2023. It was presided over by District Judge [stipendiary magistrate, in the formerly-used title] Greenfield at Southampton Magistrates’ Court. I represented myself.
The old saw has it that “a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client“. Very true words, but I had reasons for doing so. Firstly, I have not been, nominally, a barrister for many years, and not a practising barrister for about 16 years.
I have not been involved in criminal law (except some corporate “crime” and international extradition matters) for even longer, since the early/mid 1990s. I was therefore treated more loosely by the Court, as being a non-lawyer. Also, I have little but contempt for the spineless Bar of today, and would not wish to be represented by one of them, even though in some respects I might have been better off having an advocate who was current on the law and practice of the criminal courts. I undoubtedly made mistakes in my Court presentation etc.
I found the judge to be generally courteous, eminently fair in most respects, and willing to put the rather poor police and CPS case to the test where he felt that it was particularly weak.
The judge was, however, unwilling to listen to argument about why I had even been charged, i.e. the obvious (and now admitted) political pressure brought to bear on the CPS, which had caved in to pressure from the Jewish/Zionist lobby (as the “CAA” itself admits on its website and Twitter/X account).
The judge (fairly enough, in a sense) made the point that I could go to the High Court on a judicial review application, work that I once did as Counsel, about 30 years ago. That would have had the effect of automatically staying the criminal prosecution, possibly for a year or more. Yes, in theory, but someone on his own, without money? Difficult.
Silverman from the “CAA” was in Court, but he was not a witness, and gave no evidence; just sat at the back of the Court. Afraid of being cross-examined, no doubt, and as I had pointed out in preliminary documentation.
I have no idea why the police never charged Silverman with, at very least, wasting police time over his demonstrably false accusation that I had “racially and/or religiously harassed” him in 2021, which brought two police drones to my door (on my birthday, at that) and effectively compelled me to attend two “voluntary” interviews (the first called off for technical reasons when I had already attended).
In my view, Silverman could have been charged with perversion of the course of justice: “Perverting the course of justice and witness intimidation are serious offences that undermine the administration of justice by falsely accusing people or withholding crucial evidence thus potentially damaging police investigations and wasting courts’ time” [Sentencing Council].
As in other aspects of this case, there are serious questions to be answered around the role of Silverman and the “CAA”, and his/their apparent influence over the police and CPS, but as matters stand they remain unanswered and may remain unanswered.
Reverting to the trial itself, I had been intending to make a submission at “half-time” (after close of the Prosecution case) of “no case to answer”, and on at least two grounds, but the judge (very fairly) pre-empted that (because I was treated as a non-lawyer and unrepresented by a practising advocate), and did it for me, in effect, by grilling Prosecution Counsel (instructed by the CPS) for a bit, before retiring to consider the matter over the lunchtime adjournment.
Sadly for me, the judge decided that the case could continue (I think that it was touch-and-go), so it did. I should not have bothered to give evidence but did (a mistake; I was very tired), and was briefly though not much cross-examined.
The judge gave a fairly brief summing-up and, in my now almost-lay opinion, said one or two things that seemed to me to provide possible appeal points, before convicting me on all 5 counts. A short discussion about potential sentence level then occurred between judge and Prosecution Counsel, and I had to get up and politely insist that I thought that another view was possible about level of sentence; and that was that. Adjourned for 3 months.
The matter reconvened in early 2024 and was adjourned after the Prosecution applied to ask for a Criminal Behaviour Order restricting my blogging slightly.
The sentencing hearing took place on 14 March 2024. The sentencing judge (District Judge/magistrate), District Judge Callaway (a former Deputy Chief Metropolitan Magistrate) presided, District Judge Greenfield having in the intervening period been gazetted and appointed to the Circuit Bench as His Honour Judge Greenfield (now sitting at Reading County Court).
I have to say that I found the sentencing judge, D.J. Callaway, to be as generally fair and courteous as had been the trial judge, D.J. Greenfield.
I had drafted in advance a Defendant’s Argument on Sentence, examining the relevant law as well as my own circumstances, which the sentencing judge was kind enough to say “was very well put together“, if I recall his words correctly. Maybe I still have the remnants of the barristerial skills that (if I may immodestly remember) led some (though not all!) judges to commend me in Court all those years ago. A different world…
The cutbacks in court funding led to one farcical situation when it transpired that the sentencing judge had not seen the long email (about various other matters), and which I had emailed about 10 days in advance of the hearing, requesting that it be printed out and supplied to the judge.
Not only that, the very efficient Clerk of the Court was unable to find the email at all. Fortunately, Prosecution Counsel, not present in person but appearing like a disembodied spirit via video link (something I had never seen before), and on a small TV high up on a side wall, was able to forward the email (which I had copied to the CPS as a courtesy).
The Prosecution’s application for a Criminal Behaviour Order against me re. my blogging was refused, the judge agreeing, in effect, with me that the proposed Order had been so badly-drafted that it would be impossible to enforce and anyway added nothing useful.
The CPS really are a bunch of clowns; not even honest clowns, looking at the way I have been treated over the past two and a half years.
My submission on sentence, that it should be a conditional discharge, or small fine, was not upheld by the judge. Prosecution Counsel, who on the previous occasion had intimated that the CPS were looking for an uplift on sentence based on the idea that my case was a “hate crime”, despite there being no actual victim (accepted by the trial judge and the CPS at and prior to trial), agreed with the sentencing judge that a “lower level community order” would be the correct penalty.
I was sentenced to a “community order” (akin to the “probation” of former years), which involves 15 meetings with the Probation Service, spread over 9 months, so about one meeting every 2-3 weeks.
In addition, I am to pay a total of nearly ยฃ800 in costs, including a notional “surcharge”. Money that I do not have right now.
Crowdfunder
In relation to the above-mentioned costs, I have just set up a crowdfunder. If anyone can help, either with a money donation, or via sharing the crowdfunder link on social media or elsewhere, I should be most grateful.
I shall blog about the (slightly amusing) aftermath of the trial and sentence tomorrow.
[Update, 9 June 2024:I should point out that my sentence, which was called (some days or weeks later) โabsurdly lenientโ by the malicious and conspiratorial Jew-Zionist group, โCampaign Against Antisemitismโ (which admits to having pushed for 7 years for me to be prosecuted), was made by the learned (and generally quite fair) sentencing judge on the specific recommendation of the Probation Service officer who met me in mid-December 2023 and later drafted a pre-sentence report for the Court. The sentence itself (a โcommunity orderโ with 15 โrehabilitation daysโ) exactly followed the recommendation made in that report.]
[Update, 13 September 2024: As of yesterday, I do not have to attend any further meetings with the Probation Service, despite not having actually attended very many: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/09/13/diary-blog-13-september-2024/. My sentence is therefore effectively at an end. โThe usual suspectsโ ((( ))) will be fuming].

Toby, while I recognised you to be very much an โestablishment conservativeโ rather than a real one, I was prepared to let this slide in the hope that you gave a damn about free speech.
“Toad” is his right characterization. The fact is, that the “Free Speech Union” is part of the “controlled opposition” matrix: Breitbart, Toby Young, James Delingpole, Farage, Brexit Party, GB News, UKIP, Reform UK etc.
Anyone, or any organization, which adheres to pro-Israelism or pro the UK (or any other) Jewish lobby is contaminated and not worth taking seriously.
Here is Young, from 6 years ago:
“Iโm currently in Israel on a press trip organised by Bicom โ the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre. Bicom does a good job of getting experts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to give talks to journalists and Iโve attended a few in their London offices. But this is the first time Iโve been on one of their legendary excursions to the Holy Land, which they organise about six times a year. In essence, youโre given a whistle-stop tour of the country while being briefed at every turn by senior ministers and officials on both sides of the divide. Itโs seventh heaven for foreign policy nerds, but I also have another reason for being here, which is to weigh up the pros and cons of emigrating to Israel.
Believe it or not, my entire family is eligible for citizenship under the Law of Return because Carolineโs father is Jewish. And the idea of moving here is genuinely appealing because Iโve been fanatically pro-Israel since falling in love with the place aged 17. I had just failed all my O-levels and was mooning about feeling like an outcast when my father decided to send me to a kibbutz. It turned out to be the perfect antidote to my adolescent funk.
I found everything about Israel, particularly its origins, deeply affecting, and in spite of not being Jewish I felt as if Iโd discovered my people at last. I was inspired by the example of pioneering Zionists like Theodor Herzl to take control of my own destiny. I would return to England, retake my O-levels, go to a sixth form and, God help me, apply to Oxford. And when it all worked out, I felt as if Israel and the wonderful example of its founders had saved me and I swore an oath that I would always defend the country from its detractors.“
[Toby Young, in The Spectator, 2018]
‘Nuff said?
I have just read the article, or polemic, written by one David Hansard (real name David Johnson, it seems). Basic premise— cut back on free speech (labelled “hate speech”) in order to protect (approved) free speech. I have heard that before…
What a final straw, such a shame. No choice but to cancel my subscription to the @SpeechUnion – unfollowed.
You should state your views, and those of the FSU, on this matter clearly and unequivocally. This is a critical case and your dilly-dallying on it is discrediting you and the FSU.
Like any msm-approved figure, “Toadmeister” runs scared of the Jewish lobby. If they were to turn on him, that would be his fake “free speech” and scribbling and TV talking head career over at once.
Sam Melia and his wife Laura Towler are heroic.
As for that “David Hansard” (David Johnson) character, his background seems opaque. More from him:
Nope. I'm sceptical of free speech absolutism, which has its own orthodoxy and is often intolerant of being challenged, and which seems to disregard the problems which come with permitting someone to post such messages in public.
“Permitting someone…”— that is the wrong starting point. Free speech on social, political, religious and historical topics, is a right, not a privilege granted by some “authority”, not something that should be licensed or allowed on application, or risked on pain of punishment.
Like many people, “David Hansard” seem not to really understand the idea of freedom of expression. He is all in favour of it so long as it does not cause “problems” in society (for those in power, or profiting by exploitation), or cause “divisions”.
In fact, the “divisions” in society are not caused by those talking about things, but by the underlying realities:
A subject close to my heart. After all, later this week a magistrate will sentence me for deemed breaches of the notorious “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127, a prosecution procured by the malicious Israel-lobby pressure group (tiny but well-funded) which is pleased to call itself “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, and which has been boasting online about how it has been trying to have me prosecuted for 7 years or more.
Seems obvious and also fair under the 1986 law that such intention was present, in light of the contents of the stickers – even if the stickers were not in themselves unlawful. That does mean every anti-immigration opinion will soon be prohibited. This is an extreme case.
“Hansard” once again throws in a typical argument often seen or heard: Melia’s case was “extreme”, and most people need not fear persecution or prosecution. Yeah, right!
Presumably, “Hansard” meant to tweet that “that does not mean every anti-immigration opinion will soon be prohibited“. His Freudian slip tells the truth, though, despite his intention. Every anti-immigration opinion will soon be prohibited. Melia’s case is a clear signpost.
Already, almost anything not laudatory, and said about Jewish or Zionist behaviour, is almost by default deemed “grossly offensive”.
Incidentally, I notice that “Hansard”, despite having been on Twitter/X since 2012, has only 461 Twitter/X “followers”. When a pack of Zionist Jews connected with the “CAA” had my Twitter account closed down in 2018, I had over 3,000 “followers”, despite my only following about 50 accounts, mostly organizations. If someone had 3,000 “followers” back in 2018, the same person has at least 6,000 now, usually.
I do not know who or what that “David Hansard” is. What is his locus standi to be published, and/or boosted by Toby Young etc? I have no idea. Well, there it is.
Speaking of Sam Melia and Laura Towler, their crowdfunder [https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia] has, as of time of writing, smashed through the ยฃ60,000 barrier and stands at ยฃ60,374, and still increasing.
I urge everyone to send at least the minimum (ยฃ4) and a message of support. Stick it to the System and the “usual suspects”.

Strange how Jews, or many Jews, find it absolutely insulting to be recognized as Jews (as does the one tweeting above, notwithstanding that he claims to be proud to be a Jew).
I have lived in a number of foreign countries, and would quite often be asked, unexpectedly, “are you [whatever nationality]?” I did not find it insulting (as a matter of fact, I was often mistaken for American or German anyway, as well as, on other occasions, correctly identified as English).
Jews are different. They seem to find it a deadly insult to be identified as Jewish, no matter what.
What can one say? Not much, since free speech is all but dead in England…
Only now, writing that, did it come to mind that I had such an experience when hitch-hiking, aged early twenties, going between Hammersmith Flyover in London and Herefordshire late at night. 1980, I think.
I was picked up by a large truck, and that truck took me most of the way. En route, there was the usual desultory kind of conversation. Eventually, the driver asked me where I was from. I replied that I was presently living in London. The driver then asked, “yes, but where did you originally come from? What country?”
It transpired that that truck driver thought that I was not English but something else, but he could not guess what.
Not sure why the driver thought that I was from a foreign country; maybe because I was learning Russian and German (part-time). In fact, I had that very evening come straight from a small Russian conversation circle in Belgravia (at the GB-USSR Association, a cultural and para-diplomatic body funded by the Foreign Office). Maybe that had slightly affected my normal speech, though it seems unlikely.

I used to think that NATO would stick together in the event of conflict with the then Soviet Union (and later the Russian Federation), but that was assuming that NATO’s basic posture would be defensive, defending Western Europe from Soviet invasion, or (later) defending NATO’s new front-lines in the Baltic region.
Now? I am not so sure, and Macron’s belligerence looks more like an unnecessary attack on the Russian front-lines in the Ukrainian theatre. Will other NATO states directly support an attack of that nature or support France if Russia attacked its armies? I am thinking “not necessarily”. I certainly cannot see the USA going that far. If it did, of course, it might lead to a Third World War.

Talking point
That may or may not be historically-accurate, but look what has happened in the ~76 years since then:
Now, the Gaza Strip enclave looks as if it too may soon revert to Jewish/Israeli occupation and, perhaps, settlement or resettlement by Israeli Jews, once the present Gazan population is killed or driven out.
“In a 1931 interview with a Leipzig newspaper editor, Adolf Hitler made a passionate declaration of the true significance of his National Socialist movement:
“The Frenchman Gobineau and the Englishman Chamberlain were inspired by our concept of a new order-a new order, I tell you, or if you prefer, an ideological glimpse into history in accordance with the basic principle of the blood.
We do not judge by merely artistic or military standards or even by purely scientific ones. We judge by the spiritual energy which a people is capable of putting forth, which will enable it in ten years to recapture what it has lost in a thousand years of warfare.
I intend to set up a thousand year Reich and anyone who supports me in battle is a fellow-fighter for a unique spiritual-I would almost say divine-creation.
At the decisive moment the decisive factor is not the ratio of strength but the spiritual force employed. Betrayal of the nation is possible even when no crime has been committed, in other words when a historical mission has not been fulfilled.”

Another idiot. He has no idea of what he is saying. Meaningless verbiage.
In classic British fashion our elites are now working overtime to turn a crucial debate about the failures of multiculturalism and the threat from radical Islamism into a debate about Islamophobia inside the Tory party. We are not a serious country.https://t.co/24s88IcbwF
I can agree with some, perhaps much, of what is written by Matt Goodwin, but he sees the threat to Western civilization as coming only from radical Islamism. He misses out several other basically “ethnic” threats— the Jew-Zionist influence and control, embedded within “Western” power structures; the non-Muslim black/brown influxes (and consequent emergence of mixed-race populations within Europe); also, the outwardly peaceful Chinese population influx.
In relation to the last-mentioned, I cannot do better than to quote the famous maxim of Sun Tzu: “to win without war, this is the supreme excellence” [Sun Tzu, The Art of War]. Peking (Beijing) is playing a long game, as always.
The multi-headed threat is a major reason why the West is losing.
Matt Goodwin’s material is a classic example: he concentrates on only one of several threats (extreme Islamism, given strength by the Muslim part of the migration-invasion of Europe).
Goodwin scarcely recognises the other ethnic-centred threats to our culture and civilization and, when it comes to the Jewish/Zionist element, vociferously supports it!

“EU Fear of Russia Degenerates into War Weariness – Bloomberg…
The protests of farmers in Europe, which erupted in the third year of the Ukrainian conflict, serve as a clear illustration of the fact that Kyivโs Western allies are exhausted by military actions and their consequences, writes a Bloomberg columnist.
As the journalist reminds, the French government eventually managed to reassure its farmers by promising to protect them from Ukrainian imports. Chicken producers were especially afraid of eastern competitors, claiming that Ukrainian chicken was imported in huge volumes, it was extremely difficult to track, and the income from its sales enriched large corporations.
French President Emmanuel Macron this month even โpointed his fingerโ at the Ukrainian โchicken tycoonโ Yuriy Kosyuk, owner of the MHP holding – the French leader warned that Paris โis not interested in enriching this man.โ
The dissatisfaction of farmers may seem like a side problem to some – especially against the backdrop of difficulties with the bill on the allocation of additional aid to Kiev, which is stuck in the US Congress – but in fact it demonstrates well โhow the Europeans, who, against the backdrop of stagnation in the economy and the prospects for the return of Donald Trump, are not very inclined to be heroic, fear of Russia degenerates into war fatigue.โ
“A Utah mother whose harsh parenting advice made her a YouTube influencer has been sentenced to at least four years in prison for child abuse.
The two women were arrested in August 2023 after Franke’s malnourished 12-year-old son climbed out of a window at Hildebrandt’s house in Ivins, Utah. Police said the child then ran to a neighbour’s house and asked for food and water. He had lacerations from being tied up with rope, according to police records.
“[YouTube] fans started to become suspicious in 2020, when one of her sons mentioned that he had been forced to sleep on a bean bag for seven months.
YouTube viewers combed through her archives and pointed out other disturbing and controversial methods used by Franke – such as withholding food, threatening to chop the head off a toy stuffed animal and “cancelling” Christmas as a punishment.
Franke then began appearing in YouTube videos posted by Ms Hildebrandt – a counsellor and life coach – on her site, ConneXions Classroom.
Away from the camera, however, Franke’s children were being subjected to even harsher abuse.
This included tying them up, beating and kicking them, neglecting to feed them and forcing them to work outdoors in the summer without sunscreen, resulting in serious sunburn, according to police records.
In a plea agreement, Hildebrandt stated that she either tortured the children or was aware of the abuse and that she forced one of Franke’s daughters to “jump into a cactus multiple times”.
[BBC]
Terrible, and comes against a background of too-strict American parenting, though plenty of too-indulgent parenting exists there too. I concede that, as someone without offspring, I write as a mere observer. I do think, though, that many Americans are too strict with their children, but I admit that I have also seen much of the opposite tendency (children allowed to behave and speak rather rudely).

As Powell said, “we must be mad, literally mad“, but it is not the British people themselves but a small minority —at Westminster, in the newspapers, on TV and radio, in the legal professions and the universities etc— who are the guilty parties.
In fact, the British people as a whole do bear at least some of the guilt, for being so apathetic as to allow themselves to be repressed and then, as is now happening, replaced.
"Over the next twelve years, 92% of all of Britainโs population growth will be driven by immigration"https://t.co/fvp6Iunciv
Nearly 100%, in fact, because almost all of the remaining 8% will be births to first, or second, or third-generation non-white women, and a relative few to white women but first/second/third-generation immigrant fathers. Hardly any to white couples.
“My daughter is two years-old. Sheโs already lived through three prime ministers, four chancellors, two monarchs, a global pandemic, and wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. What will she live through in the years ahead, I often wonder?
Itโs a question most parents ask themselves. And itโs one I asked myself again yesterday while reading a new forecast on how Britainโs population will change over the next twelve years โwhich is not a very long time at all.
The forecast, from the independent Office for National Statistics, is striking to say the least. And I suspect many people out there in the country, many of the people who are perhaps reading this Substack, will find it deeply worrying.
By the year 2036, by the time my daughter turns fifteen, Britainโs population will have grown by another 6.6 million people. In just fifteen years, in just three election cycles, the population will surge by 10 per cent, rising from 67 million people to nearly 74 million. And of the additional 6.6 million people in the country โanother 6.6 million people using the NHS, the GPs, the schools, the roads, and looking for a house to buy or rentโ some 6.1 million will be here because of immigration.“

Does that idiot even believe what he is saying? Ukraine (Kiev regime) cannot “win”. It cannot regain the oblasti of Donetsk, Lugansk (and/or Crimea etc). It cannot attack, in any serious way, Russia itself.
It could only achieve those objectives by drawing NATO directly into the war (leading, probably, to a world war), or by somehow contriving a palace revolution in Moscow. Neither of those possibilities is likely to take place.
I have been wondering why the Western msm obsession with Navalny. Was it because, after the death of Boris Nemtsov, Navalny was the only high-profile opposition figure in Russia? Like Nemtsov, his support was only about 5% of the population, and could never have reached even 20%.
As blogged previously, I think that Navalny was almost certainly a braver man than me (going back from exile in Germany to almost-certain arrest in Russia), and certainly a more reckless one, inter alia.

One of the vilest things Iโve heard on Gaza. From a public speaker outside of the Israeli government.
Andrew Roberts, from the UK House of Lords believes that there is a 2:1 ratio of Hamas fighters killed to Gazan civilians.
Roberts is, in my view, a largely ahistorical scribbler, who has posed as a kind of pseudo-aristocratic historian all his life, always having had plenty of money thanks to his father having owned both the well-known Job’s Dairy and also the UK franchise rights for Kentucky Fried Chicken (now KFC).
He is and always was pro-NWO etc. An “Atlanticist”, if you like. Now he seems to be regurgitating lying Israeli government propaganda instead of pro-Churchill ahistory.

I happened to watch an edition of Celebrity Chase quiz show (from about 6 years ago). As usual, I did not know even the names of a couple of the “celebrities”, but “Eddie the Eagle” was there and, also, Michelle Dewberry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Dewberry].
I believe that Ms. Dewberry is now employed by GB News TV as presenter of a current affairs show.
Sadly, Ms. Dewberry proved herself entirely ignorant about politics, and pretty much everything else. Even worse than I was expecting.
Full of unwarranted self-confidence, but empty of intellectual content. Totemic of the present-day (think “Boris” Johnson, for one…).
The presenter of The Chase, Bradley Walsh, introduced Ms. Dewberry as “businesswoman and TV presenter“, I think. True up to a point. She did have a business, though I think an unsuccessful one, about 15 years ago. She is best known for having won, in 2006, The Apprentice, the TV competition run by Jewish businessman Alan Sugar.
My problem with all that is that she is one of a number of people with considerable public profile, and who opines about politics, Britain’s future etc, and yet is entirely ignorant in almost (?) all areas.
I suppose that I have to be honest and admit that, in the commonly-heard (on TV at least) phrase, “she scrubs up well“, anyway.
I see now from Wikipedia that Ms. Dewberry is now in a personal relationship with a once-successful and still affluent businessman, who is also, inter alia, a TV/radio presenter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Jordan.
Ms. Dewberry seems to be an example of a widespread problem in the UK these days, namely people posing as business successes, political experts etc when they are nothing of the sort; but it suits the msm to present them as such.
Most such people are boosted by the msm and/or politicians because it suits an agenda, in Michelle Mone’s case as an example of a *woman from *a deprived or poor background, who *via her own efforts *became “successful” and *wealthy. The David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith (etc) ideology personified— and as fake as those cheats.
In fact, Michelle Mone is a fake through and through, and always has been, as seen even in her Wikipedia entry. That, however, has not stopped her from having been —ludicrously, so be it— elevated to the House of Lords; nor has it stopped her from making hundreds of millions of pounds from useless hospital equipment, sold to the NHS via contacts in the Conservative Party, together with her present husband: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Barrowman.
There is something wrong about a country that seems not to care whether someone prominent, and/or in public life proper, is a fake. Look at Iain Duncan Smith. That man has so many layers of fakery that to examine them all in detail would require a book by someone such as Tom Bower [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Bower].
We see now how history is not only misunderstood, but often faked in both its overall purport and in details. I am referring not only to the WW2 “holocaust” farrago, but to, for example, the attempts now made to present a one-sided view of European (including British) colonialism as something entirely bad, with no redeeming features.
When history is faked, how can present-day politics and intellectual life be unaffected?

She called the police and provided all the information but claims she was then instructed to go and get the car herself.
Alexandra, who works in corporate finance, said: “I was more shaken by the experience of dealing with the police than the car being stolen itself.

“Orban’s adviser confirmed: the EU threatened the Hungarian economy because of Ukraine.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbรกn’s adviser, Balazs Orbรกn, confirmed the “Fine Times” writing that the European Union threatened to undermine the Hungarian economy, if it does not lift the veto on European aid to Ukraine.
The American newspaper previously wrote that Brussels will collapse the exchange rate of the Hungarian forint and worsen the situation with jobs, however the EU later denied this, but Balazs Orbรกn noted that the situation is “serious” and that the heads of state and government of the EU have threatened to do just that. to the Hungarian Prime Minister over the phone.

“If Ukraine disintegrates, Germany could be flooded with another 10 million refugees, warns “Welt am Sonntag”, referring to anonymous security officials and stating that the German government still hopes that this “worst case scenario” will not happen this year.
“If we don’t change our strategy of supporting Ukraine, the worst-case scenario of a mass exodus from Ukraine and the spread of the war to NATO countries will be much more likely. In this case, ten million refugees is a pretty bad assumption,” says the MP of the opposition Christian Democratic Party, Roderick Kiesewetter.
Since the conflict between Kiev and Moscow broke out almost two years ago, 1.1 million Ukrainians have fled to Germany, according to data from the German Ministry of the Interior. The influx of newcomers from other countries, including Syria, Afghanistan and African nations, is not abating.”

At least Ukrainians are European.
If that were to happen, Russia will be able to take Ukraine east of the Dnieper very easily. It might even be able to take all of Ukraine, though it would, arguende, be both kinder and more statesmanlike to take only Eastern Ukraine, the Kiev area, the Black Sea coastal zone (including Odessa), also of course retaining the areas already controlled by Russia and which are inhabited by Russian-speakers (Crimea, Donbass etc). Leave a rump Ukraine centred on Lvov as a Ukrainian state, or at least autonomous territory.
Ukraine, demographically, is already in collapse. 500,000 dead on the battlefield, millions fled to other states, and a birthrate insufficient to maintain the population numbers.
“British Transport police have issued a picture of a man they want to trace after a driver was attacked on a moving train.“
“Detectives have launched an appeal after a tube driver was attacked by a man who broke into his cab at an east London station.
The train was moving when a thug smashed through the driverโs door near Bromley-by-Bow station.
He went on to repeatedly assault the driver in an attack police called โshockingโ. The driver managed to stop the train safely despite being assaulted.“

Die Welt is a heavyweight conservative German newspaper, broadly comparable to the Daily Telegraph in the UK. It is not at all “pro-Russian”, so the fact that it foresees a Russian victory by early 2025 is significant.
